<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, India – April 2026 : In a sharp and thought-provoking
reflection on modern leadership, Pavan Kaushik, Storyteller &amp; Author and
Co-founder, Gurukshetra Consultancy, challenges a widely accepted belief:

We have mistaken visibility for leadership.

Who speaks best, presents sharply, and drives the narrative in
the room is often seen as the leader. Yet, as Kaushik observes, many leaders
are admired in meetings—and forgotten in execution.

Beyond this visible layer lies another force—quieter, less
celebrated, yet far more enduring. It exists where ideas are tested, pressure
builds, and outcomes are either delivered or quietly lost. And within this
contrast emerges a question that demands honesty:

What kind of leader are you?

Kaushik describes the Intellectual Leader as someone people turn
to for clarity. They connect dots others miss, simplify complexity, and define
direction when uncertainty prevails. They shape strategy and influence
thinking. When they speak, people listen.

But leadership cannot end with articulation. It must translate
into impact.

“Do your ideas travel beyond the room you present them in?”

Because leadership is not just about being understood—it is
about being carried forward. As Kaushik sharply puts it, if your ideas need you
to survive, they are not leadership—they are dependency.

In contrast stands the Supportive Leader—often less visible, yet
deeply influential. These are the individuals who ensure things move when
complexity rises. They align teams, remove friction, and step in when execution
begins to crack. They are often the reason plans don’t collapse under pressure.

Their contribution may not always be seen—but it is always felt.

Yet here too lies a critical reflection:

“Are you shaping direction—or only strengthening someone else’s
vision?”

Because support without perspective can limit influence, keeping
leadership confined to execution rather than transformation.

Kaushik highlights a reality many organizations overlook:

the intellectual leader is seen, while the supportive leader is
felt. Over time, this creates two incomplete versions of leadership—one that
believes thinking is enough, and another that believes execution is enough.

Neither builds complete leadership.

In fact, not all visible leaders create impact—and not all
impactful leaders are visible.

True leadership exists in the ability to move between both
worlds. The most effective leaders step forward with ideas when direction is
needed and step back to enable outcomes when execution demands ownership. They
do not stop at asking, “What should we do?” They go further to ask, “What will
it take to make this work?”

They are not just the voice in the room—they are the force that
ensures the room translates into results.

This perspective calls for deeper self-reflection. Beyond titles
and roles, Kaushik urges leaders to ask themselves: Do people associate you
more with ideas, or with outcomes? When things succeed, are you known for
direction, or for delivery? In moments of pressure, do you guide—or do you
ground? The answers often reveal more than any designation ever can.

In conclusion, leadership is not a choice between intellect and
support—it is the discipline of balancing both. Ideas require ownership, and
execution demands intent. The leaders who create lasting impact are those who
can do both—think with clarity, and enable with commitment.

Kaushik leaves readers with a final reflection:

Are you an intellectual leader, or a supportive one? Or more
importantly… What are you not yet becoming?

Leadership is not what you say in the room.

It is what survives after you leave it. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ NEW
DELHI | April 2026 : In a city where every celebration demands
elegance, speed, and memorable experiences, Tuileries Patisserie has
emerged as one of Delhi’s most loved premium cake brands, redefining the way
designer cakes are ordered and delivered.

Known for its luxury
handcrafted cakes, French-inspired finesse, and same-day delivery across Delhi NCR,
the brand has become the preferred destination for customers seeking beautifully
designed cakes for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, baby showers, festive
gifting, and corporate occasions. The brand prominently offers same-day
and midnight delivery, along with elegant designer finishes and 100%
eggless options. 

What makes the brand’s
journey remarkable is not just its product excellence, but the growing love it
has earned from dessert enthusiasts across the capital. With a rapidly
expanding digital audience and strong repeat customer loyalty, the premium patisserie
has already been liked and admired by more than 1 lakh dessert lovers and
celebration seekers across online platforms and customer communities,
reflecting its growing reputation as a trusted celebration brand.

Where
Parisian Elegance Meets Delhi’s Celebration Culture

Inspired by the
sophistication of French pâtisserie, Tuileries Patisserie brings
together European dessert artistry and modern Indian celebration needs.

highlights artisanal craftsmanship and premium ingredients as core
differentiators. 

Its signature strength
lies in same-day delivery in just 2–4 hours, enabling customers to turn
spontaneous moments into premium celebrations without compromising on design or

gatherings to large-scale celebrations, the brand has built a reputation for

personalised design concepts, making every cake unique to the celebration. The

<title>Geeta University Announces Comprehensive NextGen Smart Campus Transformation and Flexible Academic Framework</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/geeta-university-announces-comprehensive-nextgen-smart-campus-transformation-and-flexible-academic-framework</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/geeta-university-announces-comprehensive-nextgen-smart-campus-transformation-and-flexible-academic-framework</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ PANIPAT, HARYANA : Geeta University (GU),
functioning under the Haryana State Private University Act, 2006, with 40+
years of legacy in education, has officially announced the massive overhaul of
its 40-acre campus with 8 acres outdoor sports, into a completely NextGen Smart
campus and administrative environment. Alongside this technological overhaul,
the University has also implemented a Flexible Choice Based Credit System
(CBCS), enabling students to create interdisciplinary academic and PASSION
programs in line with the changing professional environment.

Geeta
University,
carrying forward the legacy of the Geeta Group of Institutions, combines the
benefits of academic systems with the latest technological infrastructure. The
recent developments indicate a collective institutional strategy to optimize
campus operations, promote academic flexibility, and align educational delivery
with modern technological trends.

NextGen Smart Campus:
Institutional Automation Across the Student Lifecycle

The campus transformation at Geeta
University covers the entire student lifecycle, including attendance
management, academic delivery, grievance redressal, financial processing, and
campus connectivity. The aim is to automate internal processes and improve
accessibility and transparency for students, faculty, and the administrative
departments.

1.Digital Attendance System 

Geeta University has moved from
the conventional physical attendance system to a NextGen Smart digital
attendance system. The new system automatically updates attendance records in
real time with the central database, providing instant access to attendance
information for faculty and administrative departments. The digital framework
removes all potential discrepancies in manual attendance tracking and provides
immediate access to attendance records for all stakeholders.

2.Smart Library Services 

The library infrastructure in the
campus has been developed into a Smart Library with algorithm-based search
systems. Students can search for books, journals, and research papers using
contextual search queries, unlike before when they had to search using exact
title names. The system also provides students with personalized academic
recommendations based on user interaction patterns, thus optimizing resource
discovery efficiency.

3.Advanced E-Learning Platform 

Geeta University has developed an
integrated e-learning platform that includes attendance management, lecture
notes, assignments, and quizzes. The NextGen Smart dashboards help students
with systematic progress analysis and automated reminders. This integrated
academic platform enables students to access their coursework and academic
performance data in one digital space.

4.Integrated E-Governance System 

For addressing non-academic
issues, Geeta University has developed an integrated e-governance platform.
Students can submit service requests regarding hostel maintenance, IT support,
and administrative services. The NextGen Smart system automatically classifies
and prioritizes the issues, thus ensuring trackable and accountable resolution
mechanisms.

5.Unified Fee and Scholarship Portal 

The financial management
operations have been integrated into a NextGen Smart unified portal. The system
automates fee payment tracking, digital receipt generation, and real-time
scholarship eligibility monitoring. By consolidating financial data, the
University provides transparency and efficient financial communication.

6.Connected Campus Experience 

The NextGen Smart learning systems
have also been implemented in the campus connectivity infrastructure. The
infrastructure now includes NextGen Smart security solutions, digital identity
verification systems, navigation assistance tools, and automated helpdesk
support, thus enabling a digitally integrated campus experience.

Flexible Choice Based Credit
System: Redefining Academic Structure

Geeta University has also
digitized its academic structure by introducing a Flexible Choice Based Credit
System (CBCS), which is described within the framework “Design Your Own Degree
Option.”

The CBCS system with NEP-2020
aligned degrees enables students from all 11 schools of the University to pair
their core subjects with electives offered by other departments. This system
enables students to gain cross-disciplinary knowledge in academics while
retaining subject expertise.

For example:

·       Culinary Arts students can choose
to study taxation laws to gain business acumen. 

·       Engineering students can take
credit courses in music or photography to enhance creative skills. 

·       The model promotes academic
mobility between disciplines, enabling students to design their learning
journey as per their choice and professional goals. 

In contrast to the inflexible
course structure, the CBCS system promotes structured flexibility while
ensuring credit ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>PANIPAT, HARYANA</span></b><span><b> :</b> Geeta University (GU), functioning under the Haryana State Private University Act, 2006, with 40+ years of legacy in education, has officially announced the massive overhaul of its 40-acre campus with 8 acres outdoor sports, into a completely NextGen Smart campus and administrative environment. Alongside this technological overhaul, the University has also implemented a Flexible Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), enabling students to create interdisciplinary academic and PASSION programs in line with the changing professional environment.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://geetauniversity.edu.in/"><span>Geeta University</span></a><span>, carrying forward the legacy of the Geeta Group of Institutions, combines the benefits of academic systems with the latest technological infrastructure. The recent developments indicate a collective institutional strategy to optimize campus operations, promote academic flexibility, and align educational delivery with modern technological trends.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>NextGen Smart Campus: Institutional Automation Across the Student Lifecycle</span></b><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The campus transformation at Geeta University covers the entire student lifecycle, including attendance management, academic delivery, grievance redressal, financial processing, and campus connectivity. The aim is to automate internal processes and improve accessibility and transparency for students, faculty, and the administrative departments.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>1.<b>Digital Attendance System</b> </span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Geeta University has moved from the conventional physical attendance system to a NextGen Smart digital attendance system. The new system automatically updates attendance records in real time with the central database, providing instant access to attendance information for faculty and administrative departments. The digital framework removes all potential discrepancies in manual attendance tracking and provides immediate access to attendance records for all stakeholders.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>2.<b>Smart Library Services</b> </span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The library infrastructure in the campus has been developed into a Smart Library with algorithm-based search systems. Students can search for books, journals, and research papers using contextual search queries, unlike before when they had to search using exact title names. The system also provides students with personalized academic recommendations based on user interaction patterns, thus optimizing resource discovery efficiency.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>3.<b>Advanced E-Learning Platform</b> </span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Geeta University has developed an integrated e-learning platform that includes attendance management, lecture notes, assignments, and quizzes. The NextGen Smart dashboards help students with systematic progress analysis and automated reminders. This integrated academic platform enables students to access their coursework and academic performance data in one digital space.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>4.<b>Integrated E-Governance System</b> </span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>For addressing non-academic issues, Geeta University has developed an integrated e-governance platform. Students can submit service requests regarding hostel maintenance, IT support, and administrative services. The NextGen Smart system automatically classifies and prioritizes the issues, thus ensuring trackable and accountable resolution mechanisms.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>5.<b>Unified Fee and Scholarship Portal</b> </span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The financial management operations have been integrated into a NextGen Smart unified portal. The system automates fee payment tracking, digital receipt generation, and real-time scholarship eligibility monitoring. By consolidating financial data, the University provides transparency and efficient financial communication.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>6.<b>Connected Campus Experience</b> </span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The NextGen Smart learning systems have also been implemented in the campus connectivity infrastructure. The infrastructure now includes NextGen Smart security solutions, digital identity verification systems, navigation assistance tools, and automated helpdesk support, thus enabling a digitally integrated campus experience.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Flexible Choice Based Credit System: Redefining Academic Structure</span></b><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Geeta University has also digitized its academic structure by introducing a Flexible Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), which is described within the framework “Design Your Own Degree Option.”</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The CBCS system with NEP-2020 aligned degrees enables students from all 11 schools of the University to pair their core subjects with electives offered by other departments. This system enables students to gain cross-disciplinary knowledge in academics while retaining subject expertise.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi :
Rise Against Hunger India is inviting volunteers from across sectors to support
its initiatives aimed at improving nutrition and food security.

The organization
provides fortified, pre-packaged dry meals--primarily uncooked khichdi mixes
enriched with essential vitamins and minerals--to vulnerable populations,
including women, children, the elderly and those affected by crises. These
meals are packaged by volunteers and distributed through community partners.

“We are offering
hands-on volunteering opportunities that enable people to contribute
meaningfully to addressing hunger and malnutrition, while engaging in
collaborative, community-driven activities,” said Mr. Dola Mohapatra, Chief
Executive Officer, Rise Against Hunger India.

Volunteers can
participate in meal packaging events that bring together families, students and
local groups. Physical volunteering is currently available in Delhi, Mumbai,
Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Jeypore and Deoghar.

In addition, a range of
engagement options are available for spending an interactive day with children,
delivering sessions focused on nutrition and basic life skills education, as
well as internship in both rural and urban areas.

For those unable to
participate in person, the organization offers virtual engagements such as
creating content on hunger-related issues, contributing articles and research,
documenting outreach efforts and undertaking online research on solutions to
hunger.

Rise Against Hunger
India also conducts a two-hour “Gather-for-Good” virtual engagement for
corporates, featuring insights on hunger and nutrition along with interactive
sessions.

“Everyone is welcome,
participants of all age groups can join, no special skills are required, and
there is no cost to participate.,” Mr. Mohapatra said.

Volunteers may also opt
for immersive community experiences, interacting with communities to better
understand food security and nutrition challenges.

The organization says
volunteering not only helps address hunger but also promotes community
development and meaningful engagement.

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, April 2026 : The Korfball Federation of India (KFI),
in collaboration with Sporty Bharat and the Foreign Correspondents’ Club
(FCC) of South Asia, will officially launch the Korfball Premier League

history by hosting the 1995 IKF World Korfball Championship—the first time the
tournament was held outside Europe.

With
a presence across 26 states and consistent international podium finishes, KFI
now aims to elevate the sport through a structured league ecosystem designed
for athletes, audiences, and global media engagement.

The
launch event will feature:

●       
Official unveiling of the KPL logo

●       
Announcement of the inaugural 2026 season
roadmap

●       
Insights from sports leaders, athletes, and
international media voices

●       
Exclusive media interactions and networking
opportunities

●       
Speaking ahead of the launch, representatives
highlighted that KPL is not just a league, but a movement to position India as
a global hub for gender-equal sport.

<title>How Weight Loss Surgery Reverses Diabetes &amp; Dr Amit Sood Explains</title>

<description><![CDATA[ India, April 03, 2026 :
The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) says that above 537 million adults
are suffering from diabetes and related conditions. And some of the recent
studies show that the number is expected to rise to 643 million by the year
2030. Being the most populous country in the world, the number of diabetic
patients in India is much higher, nearly 101 million, making India the country
with the highest diabetes burden. Healthcare professionals and experts believe
that nearly 90-95% of the cases are type 2 diabetes, and the main reason for it
is obesity and poor metabolism. 

Day by day, the number of cases is increasing.
Doctors say that most of the patients struggle to control their blood sugar
even if they are under medication and lifestyle changes. This is where
metabolic and weight loss surgery comes into action as an effective treatment
option. According to Dr Amit Sood, renowned as the best Bariatric Weight loss surgeon in Panchkula.
The modern process and weight loss surgeries help patients to reduce weight and
keep the hormonal balance intact, and change the body dramatically. 

Link Between Diabetes and Obesity

Some of the Best Bariatric Weight Loss surgeons in Haryana and
other parts of India believe that the development of Type 2 diabetes is mainly
due to obesity as a fundamental factor. When the body accumulates excess fat,
particularly around the abdomen, it becomes less responsive to insulin. The
body develops insulin resistance, which requires the pancreas to increase its
insulin production for blood sugar control. The pancreas eventually fails to
produce enough insulin to meet demand, which results in elevated blood sugar
levels that cause diabetes.

 

“Weight loss surgery is not just about
reducing weight, it’s about correcting metabolic problems that contribute to
diabetes,” explains Dr Amit Sood . “For many patients, surgery
triggers hormonal changes that improve insulin sensitivity and help normalise
blood sugar levels.”

How Weight Loss Surgery Helps Reverse Diabetes

Surgical methods for weight loss use gastric
bypass and sleeve gastrectomy methods to reduce the size of the stomach. The
procedures enable patients to eat smaller amounts of food, which leads to lower
calorie intake and results in substantial weight reduction throughout their
lives.

The process benefits people suffering from
diabetes in many ways. The surgical procedure triggers major body changes that
lead to the development of new glucose metabolic pathways. The body begins to
operate its hunger hormones together with insulin production and blood sugar
control mechanisms in a more effective way.

 

Many patients see their blood sugar levels
improve quickly because their bodies start to respond to diabetes treatment
before they lose a significant amount of weight. Medical professionals can help
patients who undergo surgery to stop taking their diabetes medications within a
few months after their procedure.

Transforming Lives Through Metabolic Surgery

The weight loss surgeries not only improve the
blood sugar level but along with it it also provide multiple benefits, such as
improved blood pressure, cholesterol level, sleep apnea, and joint pain.
Improved body functionality often results in increased energy level, mobility
and qulaity of life.

For individuals living with both obesity and
diabetes, metabolic surgery represents a life-changing opportunity to regain
control over their health.

 

“Diabetes does not have to be a lifelong
burden for everyone,” says Dr Amit Sood. “With the right
treatment approach, including metabolic surgery for eligible patients, many
people can achieve remission and enjoy a healthier future.”

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad,
03-04-2026 : Skill Metaverse India Private Limited, an
AI-first technology company building an AI-native marketplace for influencer
and performance marketing, has secured a strategic seed investment of INR 5
crore from Innopark Ventures in December 2025.

The
influencer marketing industry is growing fast but remains fragmented, manual,
and inefficient. To address this issue, Skill Metaverse offers an end-to-end
operating system powered by agentic AI, automating influencer discovery,
campaign creation, content governance, fraud detection, real-time analytics,
price benchmarking, and brand/product lifecycle management.

Built
from the ground up with AI-native architecture and not a traditional Web2
overlay, Skill Metaverse provides enterprise-grade capabilities at a fraction
of traditional agency costs.

The
company also already serves leading D2C, e-commerce, and SaaS brands across
India with a reported range of 3–5x ROI improvements.

Commenting
on the investment, Sreeram Reddy Vanga, the Founder of Innopark Ventures,
states, &quot;Skill Metaverse represents exactly the kind of transformative
AI-native technology platform we look for at Innopark Ventures. The influencer
and performance marketing space has long been plagued by inefficiency, opacity,
and fragmentation, and Skill Metaverse is tackling these challenges head-on
with a truly ground-up AI architecture, not just a retrofitted layer on legacy
systems. What impressed us most is the team&#039;s ability to deliver
enterprise-grade outcomes at accessible price points, already demonstrating
3–5x ROI improvements for their brand partners. We believe agentic AI will
fundamentally reshape how marketing is planned, executed, and measured, and
Skill Metaverse is positioned to lead that shift in India and across global
markets. This investment reflects our conviction in both the platform&#039;s
technical depth and the team&#039;s ability to execute at scale.”

Manoj
Patel, Founder and CEO of Skill Metaverse, said, “This investment validates
our vision of becoming the operating system for the modern marketing industry,
and it gives us the fuel to accelerate everything we&#039;ve been building toward.
From day one, we made a deliberate choice to architect Skill Metaverse as an
AI-native platform, one where intelligence is embedded into every workflow. The
influencer marketing ecosystem deserves better than spreadsheets, manual
outreach, and guesswork, and we&#039;re here to change that at a fundamental level.
With Innopark&#039;s backing, we will aggressively expand our presence across India
while also making our first moves into international markets. We&#039;re building
for the next decade of marketing, and this is a defining moment for our team
and the brands that trust us to deliver results.”

This
funding will be used to accelerate Skill Metaverse’s expansion across India and
into international markets, fueling product development, go-to-market efforts,
and team growth.

<description><![CDATA[ Jaipur, April 3, 2026 : Shubhashish Homes, a
part of JK Jajoo Ventures, has delivered an exceptional performance in FY
25-26, achieving ₹423 crore in pre-sales—nearly doubling its ₹211 crore
milestone from the previous financial year, marking a remarkable year-on-year
growth of close to 100%.

Buoyed by this strong
momentum, the company has charted an ambitious roadmap for FY 26-27, setting a
pre-sales target of ₹850 crore, underscoring its confidence in sustained market
demand, strategic expansion, and brand strength.

The announcement was
made at an elegant and grand annual event gathering hosted at Jaipur Marriott
Hotel, Jaipur, attended by key stakeholders, partners, and leadership.

In a defining moment
for the brand, the company unveiled its evolved identity— “Sa – The House of
Shubhashish”—bringing all its developments under a singular, cohesive brand
philosophy. This transformation introduces a refined visual identity, including
a new logo and elevated colour palette, while reinforcing its enduring
commitment to quality, sustainability, service excellence, and customer
delight.

The milestone reflects
the strong market response to its flagship developments—Shubhashish Geeta,
Shubhashish Prakash, Shubhashish Marina, and Shubhashish Forest—each
thoughtfully conceptualized to offer distinctive and enriching living
experiences.

Addressing the
gathering, Mr. Jai Krishan Jajoo, Founder &amp; Chairman, The House of
Shubhashish, said:

“Extraordinary customer
service is not our strategy—it is our culture; it defines who we are. It drives
us, differentiates us, and inspires us to care for our customers as we would
for our own family.

This milestone belongs
to every member of our team whose unwavering dedication made this possible. At
The House of Shubhashish, we believe our customers are akin to God—this
philosophy shapes every decision we take and every home we create. We remain
deeply committed to delivering not just residences, but meaningful living
experiences rooted in trust, quality, and care.”

Following this, Mr.
Mohit Jajoo, CEO &amp; Executive Director, The House of Shubhashish, said:

“India’s real estate
sector is witnessing a strong phase of structural growth, driven by rising
aspirations, urbanisation, and increased trust in branded developers. At The
House of Shubhashish, FY 25-26 has been a landmark year, marked by significant
scale, strong demand across our projects, and disciplined execution, laying a
solid foundation for sustained growth in the years ahead. 

We are now entering a
new phase of expansion, with plans to enter three new states and three new
cities including, Indore, Prayagraj, and Mumbai, subject to necessary
approvals. We have set an ambitious target of ₹850 crore and the successful
launch of all projects in our pipeline.

We have a GDV of ₹2,500
crore in the pipeline and will be adding another ₹1,000 crore in this financial
year. We look forward to a strong and promising year ahead.”

Adding further prestige
to the occasion, Mr. Kapil Dev, Brand Ambassador, The House of Shubhashish,
extended his congratulations through a special message, applauding the team for
achieving this significant milestone.

With a renewed identity
and a strong growth trajectory, The House of Shubhashish enters its next
phase with clarity, confidence, and purpose—continuing its mission to create
value-driven, future-ready communities that resonate with evolving lifestyles
and aspirations.

<title>‘Situationships’ and Silent Goodbyes: Saurav Banerjee’s New Novel Explores the Unspoken Side of Modern Relationships</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/situationships-and-silent-goodbyes-saurav-banerjees-new-novel-explores-the-unspoken-side-of-modern-relationships</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As terms like
“situationships” and “emotional unavailability” become increasingly common in
conversations around modern relationships, a new novel by Saurav
Banerjee is tapping into a reality many young adults
recognize but rarely articulate.

A growing body of
research, including studies by the Pew Research Center, suggests that
relationships today are becoming harder to define—and, for many, harder to
process. From emotionally intense friendships that never fully evolve into
romance to connections that fade without closure, ambiguity has become a
defining feature of contemporary emotional life.

It is within this
cultural landscape that The Distance Between Mars and Pluto finds its
place. The novel follows Anurag and Saloni, two college students whose bond
exists in the in-between—never quite a relationship, yet never just friendship.
Their story unfolds through familiar, intimate moments: shared playlists,
late-night conversations, and messages written but never sent.

Rather than focusing on
dramatic breakups, the narrative explores emotional drift. Replies grow
shorter. Calls become less frequent. There is no single moment of ending—only a
gradual realization that something meaningful has quietly slipped away.

Banerjee, who has
previously written on introspective and social themes and contributed to The
Times of India’s Speaking Tree and Readers’ Blog, says the story draws from
lived observation.

“This story comes from
a space most people recognise but don’t always articulate. It’s not about being
far away from someone, but about feeling that distance even when the connection
exists,” he said.

Psychologists have
increasingly identified this experience as “ambiguous loss”—a form of emotional
uncertainty where closure is absent. Unlike traditional breakups, such
relationships often leave individuals without the language to fully process
what they have lost.

Early reader responses
suggest the novel resonates particularly with students and young professionals
navigating emotionally complex but undefined connections. The protagonist
Anurag’s introspective voice—often comparing himself to a distant
planet—anchors the narrative in memory, reflection, and the lingering nature of
unresolved emotions.

Literary observers note
that such stories reflect a broader shift in contemporary fiction. Rather than
asking whether relationships succeed or fail, they explore how they
linger—capturing a generation increasingly familiar with connections that do
not follow traditional arcs.

As conversations around
emotional well-being and communication continue to evolve, The Distance Between Mars and
Pluto emerges less as a conventional love story and
more as a cultural snapshot—one that quietly captures the distance between what
is felt and what is ever expressed.

The book is now
available in paperback and digital formats online.

<title>Shoba Naveen champions emotional wellness for women through life’s transformative journeys</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/shoba-naveen-champions-emotional-wellness-for-women-through-lifes-transformative-journeys</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/shoba-naveen-champions-emotional-wellness-for-women-through-lifes-transformative-journeys</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Deck : Bengaluru-based wellness coach Shoba Naveen is working at the
intersection of emotional well-being, pregnancy support, and relationship
health. Through holistic practices such as yoga, meditation, EFT, and chakra
healing, she is helping women navigate some of the most defining phases of
their lives with greater strength and balance.

At a
time when conversations around women’s health are increasingly expanding beyond
physical care, emotional well-being is emerging as an equally significant area
of focus. In this evolving space, Bengaluru-based wellness coach Shoba is
building a practice centred on emotional strength, inner balance, and conscious
living for women, particularly during pregnancy and periods of personal
transition.

Her
work is rooted in the belief that wellness begins within. For Shoba, a peaceful
mind is not only essential to a healthy pregnancy but also plays a vital role
in shaping stronger relationships and family environments. Through her
sessions, she works closely with expecting mothers and women seeking emotional
clarity, helping them feel grounded and secure during often overwhelming phases
of life.

Her
approach blends yoga, meditation, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and chakra
healing, bringing together multiple practices within a holistic framework. The
aim is not merely stress relief, but the cultivation of emotional resilience,
self-awareness, and long-term mental balance.

What
distinguishes Shoba’s work is the emphasis on authenticity and lived
experience. Rather than positioning herself solely as a guide, she sees her
role as walking alongside the women she supports. This sense of shared
understanding, she believes, creates a safe and nurturing environment where
transformation can take place more meaningfully.

Her
work also extends into the space of relationships, where emotional health often
influences communication, trust, and stability within families. By focusing on
the emotional well-being of women, she sees her work as contributing to
stronger and more harmonious homes.

Beyond
one-on-one coaching, Shoba Naveen is also open to contributing as a jury member
for school, college, and organisational events, where she brings her
perspective on confidence, emotional strength, and personal growth. Her
participation in such spaces reflects a broader commitment to encouraging self-belief
and resilience among younger generations.

Her
journey has also been recognised through several titles, including 1st Runner
Up – VG Mrs India Global ICON Finesse 2026, VG Mrs India Global Karnataka Queen
2026, and VG Mrs Global Wellness ICON 2026.

At
the heart of her work lies a larger mission — to raise emotionally empowered
mothers and, in turn, build stronger families. For Shoba, the transformation of
a woman extends far beyond the individual; it influences the emotional fabric
of the home and the lives around her.

In
an era where mental and emotional health are gaining long-overdue attention,
her work reflects a growing shift towards more integrative and compassionate
approaches to wellness.

Through holistic practices such as yoga, meditation, EFT, and chakra healing, she is helping women navigate some of the most defining phases of their lives with greater strength and balance.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">At a time when conversations around women’s health are increasingly expanding beyond physical care, emotional well-being is emerging as an equally significant area of focus. In this evolving space, Bengaluru-based wellness coach Shoba is building a practice centred on emotional strength, inner balance, and conscious living for women, particularly during pregnancy and periods of personal transition.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Her work is rooted in the belief that wellness begins within. For Shoba, a peaceful mind is not only essential to a healthy pregnancy but also plays a vital role in shaping stronger relationships and family environments. Through her sessions, she works closely with expecting mothers and women seeking emotional clarity, helping them feel grounded and secure during often overwhelming phases of life.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Her approach blends yoga, meditation, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and chakra healing, bringing together multiple practices within a holistic framework. The aim is not merely stress relief, but the cultivation of emotional resilience, self-awareness, and long-term mental balance.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">What distinguishes Shoba’s work is the emphasis on authenticity and lived experience. Rather than positioning herself solely as a guide, she sees her role as walking alongside the women she supports. This sense of shared understanding, she believes, creates a safe and nurturing environment where transformation can take place more meaningfully.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Her work also extends into the space of relationships, where emotional health often influences communication, trust, and stability within families. By focusing on the emotional well-being of women, she sees her work as contributing to stronger and more harmonious homes.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Beyond one-on-one coaching, Shoba Naveen is also open to contributing as a jury member for school, college, and organisational events, where she brings her perspective on confidence, emotional strength, and personal growth. Her participation in such spaces reflects a broader commitment to encouraging self-belief and resilience among younger generations.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Her journey has also been recognised through several titles, including 1st Runner Up – VG Mrs India Global ICON Finesse 2026, VG Mrs India Global Karnataka Queen 2026, and VG Mrs Global Wellness ICON 2026.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">At the heart of her work lies a larger mission — to raise emotionally empowered mothers and, in turn, build stronger families. For Shoba, the transformation of a woman extends far beyond the individual; it influences the emotional fabric of the home and the lives around her.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">In an era where mental and emotional health are gaining long-overdue attention, her work reflects a growing shift towards more integrative and compassionate approaches to wellness.</span></p>

<title>Women&amp;led food venture in Himachal builds rural livelihoods through traditional skills</title>

<description><![CDATA[ DHARAMSHALA (Himachal
Pradesh), April 02 : A community-led women-led food venture in Himachal Pradesh is
enabling rural women to earn sustainable incomes by turning traditional
pickle-making into a structured livelihood model, aligning with broader efforts
to strengthen rural women entrepreneurship and women-led micro-enterprises in
India.

Founded
in 2024 by Nupur Kohli, Mustard Women, a Himachal-based artisanal pickle brand,
operates from Bandi village near Dharamshala and currently works with 3 to 4 local women, with
plans to scale to 10 to 15 women in the near term.

Kohli, who
previously worked in marketing and advertising in Gurugram, moved to the
mountains and set up a homestay in Dharamkot. Her interactions with local women
there led to the discovery of traditional
pickle-making practices that eventually evolved into a structured community-led
food enterprise.

“The idea was to build on existing skills
within the community and create a consistent source
of income without requiring women to move out of their villages,” says
Nupur Kohli, founder of Mustard Women.


 


The initiative reflects the growing
role of small women-led enterprises in rural India, where access to formal employment remains limited despite the
presence of traditional skill sets.

Models such as self-help groups (SHGs) and community-based food production units
have increasingly been seen as viable pathways for rural
livelihood generation and financial inclusion.

Operating from a
small production unit within the village, the women produce traditional
Himachali pickles and chutneys using locally sourced ingredients and
generational recipes. The products are characterised by lower oil and salt
content and the absence of artificial preservatives, positioning them within
the growing demand for clean-label artisanal food products in India. They are currently
sold through online
platforms and select
offline channels.

The venture
began as a hyperlocal experiment in 2024, supplying
limited batches to cafés, local markets, and a homestay. Following
consistent consumer demand and repeat purchases, it expanded into online sales
and began positioning itself as a small but emerging D2C food brand from Himachal Pradesh.

Beyond product
sales, the initiative is contributing to household-level economic
stability. Women associated
with the venture are earning supplementary incomes within their village
ecosystem, reducing the need for migration or external employment.

 






In several cases,
the additional earnings have supported children’s education and improved access to better schooling options, reflecting the multiplier effect often associated with women’s income participation in rural
households.

The production model is designed
to align with local social
structures, with women
working in a shared
facility within walking distance of their homes during fixed daytime hours,
ensuring both safety and
flexibility.

Mustard Women
has expanded from five initial variants to a wider range of traditional
Himalayan pickles, while introducing basic
standardisation processes to maintain quality
and consistency without altering core recipes.

The venture
now plans to expand its distribution network
across urban markets
and onboard more women from
nearby communities, positioning itself within the broader ecosystem of grassroots, women-led
rural enterprises in India that are contributing to sustainable rural development.

<title>Nature: The ultimate Vitamin. Unlock Freedom from Supplements Overload through Naturopathy</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/nature-the-ultimate-vitamin-unlock-freedom-from-supplements-overload-through-naturopathy</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/nature-the-ultimate-vitamin-unlock-freedom-from-supplements-overload-through-naturopathy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ MUMBAI, April 2026 : We live in an era
dominated by quick fix pills, capsules and powders, and we tend to overuse supplements to compensate nutrition.  The science of naturopathy boldly asserts
that nature itself is the supreme supplement offering a radical yet
foundational path to health that empowers the body to heal from within. Whilst
the use of supplements helps in targeted support, deficiencies stem not from
intake gaps but from deeper imbalances. Prakriti Shakthi Clinic of
Natural Medicine by CGH Earth, in Kerala emphasises correcting food
choices, providing nutrient- dense nourishment to restore digestion, reduce
supplement dependency and unlock the body’s innate ability to self-repair.

Naturopathy science believes even the most
sophisticated supplements may pass through the body unused because of an
inflamed intestine, sluggish enzymes, or organs that are unable to assimilate
nutrients. A common example is iron deficiency—despite regular supplementation,
fatigue persists. and the issue is often not inadequate intake, but poor
absorption due to gut inflammation or weakened digestive capacity. Similarly,
many individuals consume calcium and Vitamin D supplements yet continue to
experience poor bone health. In such cases, the underlying issue lies in
compromised metabolism, hormonal imbalance, or the body’s reduced ability to
assimilate nutrients effectively. These are not failures of supplements, but signals
that the internal terrain of the body requires attention.

At Prakriti Shakthi, the focus shifts from “adding more” to
“enabling better.” Rather than relying on external supplementation, the
approach is to restore the body’s natural ability to digest, absorb, and
utilise nutrients.

Doctor Cijith Sreedhar, Chief Medical Officer
at Prakriti Shakthi states: “In a
world that has normalised pill-popping as the first line of defence, our
approach is both a challenge and an invitation. Supplements have their place,
but they should never eclipse the fundamentals of health. At Prakriti Shakti,
we believe that when digestion, metabolism, and nutrition are restored, the
body rebalances itself naturally. And in that balance lies the quiet revolution
of true healing.

At Prakriti Shakti, we consistently witness
remarkable outcomes. Patients who arrive with long-standing deficiencies often
leave with renewed vitality, not because they were given more pills, but
because their bodies relearned how to nourish themselves. This is not a
rejection of modern science, but a reorientation towards its most elegant
principle: the body is designed to heal when given the right conditions.”

Nestled in the lush, mist- shrouded hills of
the stunning Panchalimedu hills in Idukki, Kerala, Prakriti Shakthi is a sanctuary surrounded by virgin forests ,
fresh mountain air, spring water and abundant sunlight creating a haven for
deep healing .Offering curated healing programs that address the soil  of the body or the root cause fostering preventive
cure, naturopathy harnesses nature’s elements for holistic rejuvenation.

Prakriti Shakti is the Clinic of Natural Medicine from CGH Earth
Wellness. The centre follows the Indian ideology of
Prakruthi Chikitsa or Nature Cure which focuses on preventive care by
harnessing the healing power of the five elements of nature (Earth, Water,
Fire, Air, and Space) together with Yoga &amp; Meditation to treat the root
cause of the disease, not just the symptoms. 
The centres renowned physicians first understand your body, mind and
spirit, before recommending holistic and sustainable wellbeing practices for a
healthy and balanced life.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">MUMBAI, April 2026 : We live in an era dominated by quick fix pills, capsules and powders</span></b><span lang="EN-IN">, and we tend to overuse supplements to compensate nutrition. <b><span> </span></b>The science of naturopathy boldly asserts<b> </b>that<b> </b>nature itself is the supreme supplement offering a radical yet foundational path to health that empowers the body to heal from within. Whilst the use of supplements helps in targeted support, deficiencies stem not from intake gaps but from deeper imbalances<b>. Prakriti</b> <b>Shakthi Clinic of Natural Medicine by CGH Earth, in Kerala </b>emphasises correcting food choices, providing nutrient- dense nourishment to restore digestion, reduce supplement dependency and unlock the body’s innate ability to self-repair.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Naturopathy science believes even the most sophisticated supplements may pass through the body unused because of an inflamed intestine, sluggish enzymes, or organs that are unable to assimilate nutrients. A common example is iron deficiency—despite regular supplementation, fatigue persists. and the issue is often not inadequate intake, but poor absorption due to gut inflammation or weakened digestive capacity. Similarly, many individuals consume calcium and Vitamin D supplements yet continue to experience poor bone health. In such cases, the underlying issue lies in compromised metabolism, hormonal imbalance, or the body’s reduced ability to assimilate nutrients effectively. These are not failures of supplements, but signals that the internal terrain of the body requires attention.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">At Prakriti Shakthi</span></b><span lang="EN-IN">, the focus shifts from “adding more” to “enabling better.” Rather than relying on external supplementation, the approach is to restore the body’s natural ability to digest, absorb, and utilise nutrients.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">Doctor Cijith Sreedhar, Chief Medical Officer at Prakriti Shakthi states: “</span></b><i><span lang="EN-IN">In a world that has normalised pill-popping as the first line of defence, our approach is both a challenge and an invitation. Supplements have their place, but they should never eclipse the fundamentals of health. At Prakriti Shakti, we believe that when digestion, metabolism, and nutrition are restored, the body rebalances itself naturally. And in that balance lies the quiet revolution of true healing.</span></i></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-IN">At Prakriti Shakti, we consistently witness remarkable outcomes. Patients who arrive with long-standing deficiencies often leave with renewed vitality, not because they were given more pills, but because their bodies relearned how to nourish themselves. This is not a rejection of modern science, but a reorientation towards its most elegant principle: the body is designed to heal when given the right conditions</span></i><b><span lang="EN-IN">.”</span></b><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>

<title>ixigo&amp;Backed SqaaS Launches ShellBot, a Secure AI Agent Platform for Everyday Task Automation</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/ixigo-backed-sqaas-launches-shellbot-a-secure-ai-agent-platform-for-everyday-task-automation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Designed for individuals and enterprises,
ShellBot offers a private AI agent that simplifies everyday tasks and works
24/7 across apps

●       
Built with a strong focus on safety and
control, ShellBot is the safest and most accessible way to use AI agents - with
permissions, confirmations, and full visibility over every action

Gurugram,
2nd April 2026 : Squad As a Service, S.L. (SqaaS), an AI company
backed by ixigo, today announced the launch of ShellBot, a managed, secure AI
agent hosting platform designed to make autonomous AI accessible to
individuals, freelancers, SMEs, and enterprises worldwide. Built on OpenClaw -
one of the fastest-growing open-source AI agent frameworks - ShellBot
enables users to deploy their own private, cloud-hosted AI agent that works
24/7, handling tasks such as emails, scheduling, research, coding, and agentic
workflows through familiar interfaces such as WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram,
Gmail, and Microsoft Teams.

ShellBot
is positioned as a new category of AI infrastructure, offering users their own
dedicated virtual machine running an autonomous AI agent rather than relying on
shared environments. This ensures greater data privacy, performance, and
control, while making advanced AI capabilities simple enough for everyday use. Designed
for individuals as well as enterprises, the platform allows users to
interact with their AI seamlessly across more than ten communication channels,
all while maintaining a single memory and context layer, enabling continuity
across conversations and tasks.

A
key differentiator for ShellBot is its strong focus on safety and control.
As AI agents become more powerful, concerns around unintended actions and
misuse continue to grow. ShellBot addresses this through a “secure by default”
approach that ensures the AI performs only the actions explicitly intended by
the user. The platform incorporates multiple layers of safeguards and
guardrails, including confirmation before critical actions, granular
permissioning, protection against prompt injection attacks, and mechanisms to
prevent runaway usage. It also provides full visibility into agent activity and
allows users to immediately pause or stop operations at any time, reinforcing
trust and reliability.

ShellBot
is built to democratize access to AI agents, extending beyond developers to
freelancers, small businesses, and enterprise teams. With pricing starting at
€29 per month, it lowers the barrier to entry while offering enterprise-grade
infrastructure and flexibility. The platform is model-agnostic, supporting
multiple leading AI providers as well as local models, ensuring users are not
locked into a single ecosystem.

Commenting
on the launch, Francisco
Novella Fletcher, Co-founder of SqaaS, said, “ShellBot
is built to make powerful AI agents simple, secure, and truly useful in
everyday life. Our vision is to leverage advanced AI systems to solve complex,
everyday problems at scale, while ensuring users always remain in control of
how their AI operates.”

Rajnish
Kumar, Group Co-CEO and Aloke Bajpai, Group CEO, ixigo
further added, “AI agents represent the next paradigm shift in how
technology serves users - moving from passive tools to active collaborators.
With ShellBot, SqaaS has taken a powerful open-source innovation and made it
secure, accessible, and practical for real-world use. The technology powering
ShellBot and the underlying agentic system are already being used within
ixigo’s own internal AI-driven workflows, and are now productized and made
available externally.  We’re excited to
support this journey as ShellBot brings enterprise-grade AI capabilities to a
global audience.”

ShellBot
is now LIVE at shellbot.sh with global
availability across its Starter and Pro plans. For a limited time, users can
avail the Pro plan at just $1 for the first month (regularly $58/month)
using the code EARLY while signing up.

<title>This Startup Is Bringing Havan Benefits Into Everyday Life</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/this-startup-is-bringing-havan-benefits-into-everyday-life</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/this-startup-is-bringing-havan-benefits-into-everyday-life</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India], April 02: Every home today experiences some sort of stress whether it is work, family or a busy mind. In the past, spiritual practices were used to maintain balance, but now most people forget about them due to lack of time. People are seeking ways to easily feel calm again.To fill this gap a new idea called Gandhavaran is getting attention. It is a modern and traditional solution. Gandhavaran is a special incense (dhoop) which is made from the ingredients which are normally used in the havan rituals. The idea is simple; to bring the benefits of havan into everyday life in a small and easy way.What is Gandhavaran?Gandhavarana is a carefully made spiritual incense using herbs, resins and sacred woods from havan rituals. The ingredients are selected and mixed based on the astrological calculations so that the incense is able to activate the positive benefits of planets and constellations in the person&#039;s life.The makers say that Gandhavarana can be used in the place of a full havan at home or work. While performing a full havan might not be possible in the day to day schedule, lighting Gandhavarana is believed to maintain a positive and pure environment.The concept makes a lot of use of Indian astrology. Different positions of the planets, doshas (imbalances) and yogas (combinations) are thought to have an effect on the lives of the people. Gandhavarana products are thus tailored keeping in mind various astrological conditions.Types of Available GandhavaranaThe product range is made to cover many aspects of life, but especially those associated with astrology and spiritual health.1. For Planetary Doshas  Gandhavarana comes in versions for problems such as Guru Chandal Dosha, Kaal Sarp Dosha, Ketu Dosha, Angarak Dosha and Grahan Dosha. These are viewed as causes of trouble and rituals or havans are often used to remedy these.2. For Negative Energies And Obstacles  Some versions can help evacuate negative influences, for example, Nazar Dosha (evil eye), Vastu Dosha (building imbalance), and other disturbances, for example, PishachBadha.3. For the Activation of Positive Yogas  Other products help in strengthening good astrological combinations like Gajakesari Yoga, Lakshmi Vishnu Yoga and Panch Mahapurush Yogas like Malavya, Hansa and Ruchak Yoga.4. For Specific Goals  Some kinds are done for practical purposes, such as business expansion (Vyapar Vriddhi) and overall prosperity using Navgraha blends.In addition, products are tailored for all 12 zodiac signs, plus 27 nakshatras so that every person can get a more personal blend depending on their birth chart.Gandhavaranaendeavors to keep spiritual practice simple and in the same spirit. A full havan requires time, special materials and strict rituals that is something many people cannot keep up with. Gandhavarana has the same energy and benefits in a daily ritual which merely requires lighting a piece of incense.Users are encouraged to use it in homes, पूoja rooms, offices or shops to maintain a calm and positive aura.Another important thing among the makers is purity. In Indian spiritual practices a lot of importance is given to the quality and holiness of the material used in a ritual. Gandhavarana is prepared from the natural ingredients, which follows the classical rule of sattvik (pure) preparation.From sourcing of raw materials to the final packaging, the entire process adheres to religious and cultural values, thereby the product can be used spiritually.Women empowerment and social impactBeyond spirituality, Gandhavarana is also a strong social message. The product is made by underprivileged sanatani women of Bihar from low-income families.Women are the poorest segment of society in Bihar, specially in semi urban and urban area , they have to depend on there men folk for everything, this social enterprise gives them an opportunity to earn while staying at home.The area of operation is Danapur having a population of 300 Gir cows for easy avaiabilty of Cow dung and a big hanuman temple , the temple provides flowers offered t hanuman ji.By getting these women involved in the manufacturing, the program provides them with a constant income and a way that they can help to provide for their families. It also develops women entrepreneurship from the grassroots level.In a country where rural women have a limited number of job options, such projects help them to become financially independent and dignified. They also keep the traditional knowledge alive by the work done in the community.With the increasing awareness about mental health and need for peaceful living spaces, products like Gandhavarana are in sync with people in cities and suburbs.While some people only view it as a spiritual or astrological tool, others find it an appreciation for creating a calm home…The smell, in conjunction with the simple act of lighting incense, often brings peace and mindfulness. ]]></description>

<p dir="ltr"><span>From sourcing of raw materials to the final packaging, the entire process adheres to religious and cultural values, thereby the product can be used spiritually.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Women empowerment and social impact</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Beyond spirituality, Gandhavarana is also a strong social message. The product is made by underprivileged sanatani women of Bihar from low-income families.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Women are the poorest segment of society in Bihar, specially in semi urban and urban area , they have to depend on there men folk for everything, this social enterprise gives them an opportunity to earn while staying at home.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The area of operation is Danapur having a population of 300 Gir cows for easy avaiabilty of Cow dung and a big hanuman temple , the temple provides flowers offered t hanuman ji.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>By getting these women involved in the manufacturing, the program provides them with a constant income and a way that they can help to provide for their families. It also develops women entrepreneurship from the grassroots level.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>In a country where rural women have a limited number of job options, such projects help them to become financially independent and dignified. They also keep the traditional knowledge alive by the work done in the community.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>With the increasing awareness about mental health and need for peaceful living spaces, products like Gandhavarana are in sync with people in cities and suburbs.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>While some people only view it as a spiritual or astrological tool, others find it an appreciation for creating a calm home…</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The smell, in conjunction with the simple act of lighting incense, often brings peace and mindfulness.</span></p>]]> </content:encoded>

feature-length feature film.

a pivotal role in shaping the students’ creative journey. As a culmination
of this learning experience, FTII will conduct an intensive 5–7 day immersive
workshop designed to bridge the gap between academic training and the practical
realities of filmmaking. This workshop will act as a critical enabler,
equipping students with the skills, perspective, and confidence required to
transition into the film and animation industry.

Animation, who
conceptualised and spearheads this first-of-its-kind initiative, said:

Entertainment, said:

“At Reliance

while building globally competitive content from India. This initiative is a
powerful example of how education and industry can come together to create

hybrid  animation models and
storytelling.”

<title>Leadership That Builds Communities: The Vision Behind Siddhashila</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
Maharashtra: In a city as dynamic and fast-evolving as Pune, real estate is not
merely about constructing buildings; it is about shaping communities that
endure. Siddhashila has steadily emerged as a name associated with thoughtful
development, refined design, and a deep understanding of urban living. At the
heart of this growth lies a leadership vision anchored in long-term value
creation, architectural integrity, and a commitment to enhancing everyday life
for residents.

Siddhashila’s
philosophy goes beyond square footage and specifications. The brand’s
developments reflect a conscious effort to blend comfort, functionality, and
location advantage into cohesive living environments. Each project is planned
with attention to spatial efficiency, aesthetic appeal, and practical
convenience, ensuring that homes are not only visually impressive but also
genuinely livable. This approach signals a leadership mindset that prioritizes people
as much as property.

Across
Pune’s prominent micro markets, Siddhashila has established a portfolio that demonstrates both diversity and
consistency. “Trishala” in Mukund Nagar offers 3 &amp; 4 BHK
residences designed to bring together style, comfort, and accessibility in a
well-connected central neighbourhood. In Wakad, “Treasure Troves”
presents 2 &amp; 3 BHK residences characterized by contemporary
architecture and meticulous detailing, catering to urban professionals seeking
connectivity and modern lifestyle amenities. “Samaira” in Bibwewadi
stands out with its twin fourteen-storey towers offering 2, 3 &amp; 4 BHK homes.
The project features thoughtfully designed rooftop amenities including a
swimming pool, gymnasium, kids’ play area, and party lawn, along with The S
Club clubhouse offering indoor games, spa, and fitness facilities for leisure
and recreation. Meanwhile, “Madhusagar” in Model Colony offers refined 2
BHK residences in one of Pune’s prime neighbourhoods, supported by
amenities such as rooftop rejuvenation zone, secured access controlled lobbies,
and architecturally designed facades.

What
distinguishes Siddhashila’s leadership is its clear understanding of Pune’s
evolving residential landscape. The selection of locations such as Mukund
Nagar, Wakad, Bibwewadi and Model Colony reflects a strategic awareness of
connectivity, infrastructure growth, and established social ecosystems. The
upcoming project in Punawale further strengthens this vision, tapping into one
of Pune’s rapidly developing residential corridors. Growth drivers in the area
include expanding infrastructure, proximity to key road networks, and
increasing housing demand driven by connectivity to major employment hubs.  These neighbourhoods offer proximity to
commercial hubs, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and arterial
road networks, factors that significantly influence long term livability and
property relevance. By aligning development with such micro market strengths, Siddhashila
demonstrates a disciplined and research-driven approach.

Equally
important is the emphasis on design excellence and safety. Features such as
secured access controlled lobbies, CCTV surveillance for common areas,
fire-fighting systems, and thoughtfully designed entrances highlight a
commitment to creating secure and welcoming environments. Amenities are not
treated as superficial additions but as essential components that enhance the
residential experience. This detail-oriented mindset reinforces trust among
homebuyers who increasingly value transparency and quality assurance.

Leadership
at Siddhashila also reflects adaptability to modern lifestyle needs. The
inclusion of thoughtfully designed rooftop amenities at Samaira including a
swimming pool, gymnasium, kids’ play area and party lawn—along with indoor
facilities at The S Club clubhouse reflects responsiveness to evolving urban
lifestyles, creating spaces for leisure, wellness and community interaction
within the development. Such decisions indicate foresight, positioning
developments to remain relevant as expectations evolve. In a competitive
market, this ability to anticipate rather than react sets a developer apart.

As
Pune continues to expand as an economic and educational hub, the demand for well-planned
residential communities is set to remain strong. Siddhashila’s trajectory
suggests that its leadership is not solely focused on growth in numbers but on
building environments where families can thrive. By combining architectural
sophistication, strategic location choices, and a clear commitment to safety
and comfort, the brand continues to strengthen its presence in the city’s
residential narrative.

For
those seeking homes that reflect thoughtful planning and enduring value,
Siddhashila invites you to explore its residential offerings across Pune.
Discover how leadership driven by vision and integrity can translate into
communities designed for a lifetime. ]]></description>

<title>The Proven Code Calls Out Supplement Industry Practices at Arogya Utsav and Arogya Expo 2026</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-proven-code-calls-out-supplement-industry-practices-at-arogya-utsav-and-arogya-expo-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi  : At Arogya Utsav and Arogya Expo 2026,
one of the most talked about moments came during a short but powerful address
by Gaurav Singh, founder of The Proven Code. Instead of promoting
products, he used the platform to openly question several practices within the
nutraceutical industry and urge consumers to become more aware of what they are
actually consuming.

Opening his talk, Gaurav made it clear
that he was not there to sell anything.

“This is not about The Proven Code and
I am not here to tell you to buy our products,” he told the audience.
 “I am here because something important
needs to be said. People are becoming more health conscious, which is a great
thing. But the reality of what is being sold in the name of good health is not
always so encouraging.”

The remarks quickly became the centre
of attention at the event as he spoke candidly about issues such as
mislabeling, exaggerated claims and lack of transparency in supplements.

According to him, while consumers
today are more aware about ingredients and health benefits, companies have also
become smarter in how they present products.

“Earlier labels were vague. Now the
labels look impressive. But the real question is still the same. How do we know
that what is written on the label is actually inside the product?”

He also questioned the growing use of
scientific claims in supplement marketing and whether those claims actually
apply to the products being sold.

“Companies often show scientific
studies about an ingredient, but we do not know if the same ingredient, the
same purity or the same source is even used in the product,” he said.
 “Consumers deserve clarity about what
they are putting into their bodies.”

The talk ended with a strong message
to consumers.

“We need to start asking questions.
Ask about scientific proof. Ask whether clinical trials have been conducted.
Ask where the ingredients come from. Ask for independent third party testing.
If we do not ask these questions, companies will never answer them.”

Alongside this message, The Proven
Code participated in the expo by showcasing its philosophy of “Proof
Over Promises.” The brand focuses on developing what it calls clinical
grade supplements backed by scientific validation, ingredient traceability and
independent testing.

One of the products presented during
the event was GLP-1 Boost, formulated using CQR 300, a
botanical ingredient studied in human trials for its ability to support GLP 1
levels.

Over the last six months, the company
has seen strong growth, doubling the number of partner clinics where its
products are supplied and expanding its portfolio to more than 12
supplements covering areas such as metabolic health, gut health and
micronutrient support.

The team behind The Proven Code
includes doctors, researchers and engineers from some of the country’s
leading institutions, bringing together clinical experience and scientific
research.


Dr Rajesh Kumar Singh, a founding member of The Proven Code who leads
the B2B vertical and plays a key role in product formulation, was also present
at the event.

Speaking about the brand’s approach,
he said the goal is to bring greater clinical discipline into the supplement
space.

“Supplements should be developed with
the same seriousness as healthcare products. Scientific validation, ingredient
quality and proper testing should not be optional. They should be the
foundation.”

The company is also investing heavily
in research and development. While several formulations are currently developed
in collaboration with the Oakwell Research Group in the United Kingdom,
plans are underway to establish a dedicated research centre in Delhi
where future formulations and scientific collaborations can be carried out in
house.

For Gaurav, however, the larger
mission goes beyond building a brand.

“If consumers start demanding proof
instead of promises, the entire industry will have to raise its standards.”

Judging by the response at Arogya
Expo, that conversation may have already begun.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For entrepreneur Heena Alagh it will be a new beginning as she recently shifted to India from Dubai due to the ongoing war in the Middle East. Speaking more about herself and her journey she says,”I call myself a “child of the universe,” shaped by growing up across different regions, learning new languages, and adapting to diverse people and cultures from quite an early age. This journey across seven states and three colleges broadened my perspective and allowed me to gather ideas from varied experiences. At the same time my parents have always encouraged me to pursue my education strongly. I pursued fashion merchandising and production at Pearl Academy, Chennai. Being creative at heart, I have always been drawn to exploration, constantly learning, refining, and adding a touch of elegance to everything I do.”</p>
<p>Though later Henna chose her career in the investment and real estate market. ”Real estate is the art of owning and shaping space, where land and property come together as both a lifestyle statement and a long lasting investment. Dubai’s market potential is immense. My role as an investment connoisseur is someone who has a refined understanding of investments, carefully selecting opportunities with insight, strategy, and a keen eye for value. In simple terms, they don’t just invest clients’ money; they evaluate, curate, and grow wealth with expertise and taste.” </p>
<p>Henna who is a frequent flyer to Delhi and Mumbai shares about her fondness for the capital. She says,”Delhi NCR is my home. If I talk about statistics, 52% of Indians invest in the Dubai real estate market, so that speaks volumes. Also, the current situation brought me back, and here I am in India, seeing a lot of opportunities. With open arms, I am welcoming new opportunities. It is a fresh start.”</p>
<p>Gorgeous Henna who was recently spotted in a couple of parties in Mumbai has surprised the industry. When asked about her plans in getting into a reality show genre she says,”I have limited knowledge about reality TV shows in India, so let’s see what life brings. Recently I have been to a few places, socialising here was sheer fun, and I was completely comfortable in my own skin, so I guess it naturally turned heads.”</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<title>Mexxiss Technologies Postpones Dubai Launch of Global Digital Platforms Amid Rising Geopolitical Uncertainty</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/mexxiss-technologies-postpones-dubai-launch-of-global-digital-platforms-amid-rising-geopolitical-uncertainty</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/mexxiss-technologies-postpones-dubai-launch-of-global-digital-platforms-amid-rising-geopolitical-uncertainty</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Ahmedabad-based Mexxiss
Technologies Private Limited, a globally recognised player in turnkey steel
plant solutions and industrial engineering, has announced the postponement of
its upcoming international digital platform launches, scheduled from the Dubai
UAE this November. The move comes in response to rising geopolitical tensions
linked to the ongoing Iran–United States conflict, which has introduced
uncertainty across global trade, investment environments, and cross-border
operations.

The company, known for
its strong foothold in the steel manufacturing and engineering sector, stated
that the decision has been taken as a precautionary measure to ensure a stable
and conducive environment for stakeholders, partners, and investors. The
disruption in global mobility, fluctuating investor sentiment, and broader
economic unpredictability have influenced the revised timeline.

Headquartered in
Ahmedabad, Mexxiss Technologies has built a solid reputation as a comprehensive
solutions provider in the steel industry. Since its inception in 2006, the
company has been recognized for delivering comprehensive turnkey solutions,
including design, engineering, manufacturing, installation, testing, and
commissioning of steel production plants. With certifications from D.U.N.S. and
the International Trade Council, the company continues to strengthen its
credibility across international markets. 

The company offers
end-to-end turnkey services, including its flagship CentriCast® Continuous
Casting Machine (CCM) billet casting units, along with advanced horizontal,
vertical, and centrifugal casting technologies. Mexxiss also specialises in TMT
rebars and structural rolling mills, Argon Oxygen Decarburization (AOD)
systems, and industrial lifting solutions such as IndoMartin® EOT cranes and
hoists. In addition, it provides turnkey installation of refurbished
Inductotherm® meltshops and Ecomelt® induction melting furnaces, positioning
itself as a one-stop solution provider in the steel production domain. 

In line with evolving
market dynamics and digital transformation trends, Mexxiss Technologies has
been actively expanding into high-growth digital sectors. The company was set
to unveil a suite of global online platforms spanning IT and software
solutions, an international real estate marketplace, plant and machinery
trading portals, luxury car sales and rental platforms, as well as travel,
hospitality, and holiday home rental services. The Dubai launch was
strategically planned to position the company as a multi-sector global enterprise
bridging heavy industrial capabilities with next-generation digital ecosystems.

However, the current
geopolitical climate has prompted a strategic reassessment. The Iran–USA
tensions have introduced volatility in global trade routes, investor confidence,
and international mobility, leading the company to adopt a cautious and
responsible approach.

Commenting on the
development, Managing Director Surinder Pal Saini stated, “Our digital
expansion represents a pivotal step in Mexxiss Technologies’ long-term growth
strategy. While we were fully prepared for the global launch, the prevailing
international uncertainties require us to prioritize stability and stakeholder
confidence. We remain committed to delivering world-class digital platforms and
will announce revised timelines once conditions are more conducive.”

Despite the
postponement, Mexxiss Technologies continues to maintain strong momentum across
its core industrial operations. The company reaffirmed that all ongoing
projects and global partnerships remain unaffected, with only the launch
timeline of the digital platforms being deferred.   

Industry observers note
that such strategic postponements reflect a broader trend among global
companies navigating uncertain geopolitical conditions. By deferring the
launch, Mexxiss aims to ensure maximum impact and smoother execution once
stability returns to the international business landscape

With a legacy of over
three decades in engineering excellence and a forward-looking approach towards
digital innovation, Mexxiss Technologies Private Limited is well-positioned to
drive the next phase of growth across both industrial and digital sectors. The
company remains focused on strengthening its global footprint while ensuring
sustainable and strategic expansion.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Ahmedabad-based Mexxiss Technologies Private Limited, a globally recognised player in turnkey steel plant solutions and industrial engineering, has announced the postponement of its upcoming international digital platform launches, scheduled from the Dubai UAE this November. The move comes in response to rising geopolitical tensions linked to the ongoing Iran–United States conflict, which has introduced uncertainty across global trade, investment environments, and cross-border operations.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The company, known for its strong foothold in the steel manufacturing and engineering sector, stated that the decision has been taken as a precautionary measure to ensure a stable and conducive environment for stakeholders, partners, and investors. The disruption in global mobility, fluctuating investor sentiment, and broader economic unpredictability have influenced the revised timeline.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Headquartered in Ahmedabad, Mexxiss Technologies has built a solid reputation as a comprehensive solutions provider in the steel industry. Since its inception in 2006, the company has been recognized for delivering comprehensive turnkey solutions, including design, engineering, manufacturing, installation, testing, and commissioning of steel production plants. With certifications from D.U.N.S. and the International Trade Council, the company continues to strengthen its credibility across international markets. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The company offers end-to-end turnkey services, including its flagship CentriCast® Continuous Casting Machine (CCM) billet casting units, along with advanced horizontal, vertical, and centrifugal casting technologies. Mexxiss also specialises in TMT rebars and structural rolling mills, Argon Oxygen Decarburization (AOD) systems, and industrial lifting solutions such as IndoMartin® EOT cranes and hoists. In addition, it provides turnkey installation of refurbished Inductotherm® meltshops and Ecomelt® induction melting furnaces, positioning itself as a one-stop solution provider in the steel production domain. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In line with evolving market dynamics and digital transformation trends, Mexxiss Technologies has been actively expanding into high-growth digital sectors. The company was set to unveil a suite of global online platforms spanning IT and software solutions, an international real estate marketplace, plant and machinery trading portals, luxury car sales and rental platforms, as well as travel, hospitality, and holiday home rental services. The Dubai launch was strategically planned to position the company as a multi-sector global enterprise bridging heavy industrial capabilities with next-generation digital ecosystems.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">However, the current geopolitical climate has prompted a strategic reassessment. The Iran–USA tensions have introduced volatility in global trade routes, investor confidence, and international mobility, leading the company to adopt a cautious and responsible approach.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Commenting on the development, Managing Director Surinder Pal Saini stated, “Our digital expansion represents a pivotal step in Mexxiss Technologies’ long-term growth strategy. While we were fully prepared for the global launch, the prevailing international uncertainties require us to prioritize stability and stakeholder confidence. We remain committed to delivering world-class digital platforms and will announce revised timelines once conditions are more conducive.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Despite the postponement, Mexxiss Technologies continues to maintain strong momentum across its core industrial operations. The company reaffirmed that all ongoing projects and global partnerships remain unaffected, with only the launch timeline of the digital platforms being deferred.<span>   </span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Industry observers note that such strategic postponements reflect a broader trend among global companies navigating uncertain geopolitical conditions. By deferring the launch, Mexxiss aims to ensure maximum impact and smoother execution once stability returns to the international business landscape</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">With a legacy of over three decades in engineering excellence and a forward-looking approach towards digital innovation, Mexxiss Technologies Private Limited is well-positioned to drive the next phase of growth across both industrial and digital sectors. The company remains focused on strengthening its global footprint while ensuring sustainable and strategic expansion.</span></p>

<title>Sharecirculate Launches Advanced Global PPP Calculator to Transform Salary Benchmarking for Indian Professionals</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
March 31, 2026 : Sharecirculate, an emerging platform offering financial and
stock market insights, has today launched its Advanced Global Purchasing Power
Parity (PPP) Calculator. The calculator is made for Indian professionals who
want to compare their salaries across the globe.

The
launch of the Advanced Global Purchasing Power Parity Calculator
by Sharecirculate is aimed at simplifying international payroll comparisons,
remote working, and global hiring trends, which are transforming the world of
work very deeply. And as individuals are increasingly inclined to explore
international avenues, having a reliable method of comparing income levels
between countries becomes essential.

Sharecirculate&#039;s
Global PPP Calculator, on the other hand, deals with this problem and enables
its users to compare salaries based on real purchasing power rather than just
currency exchange rates.

Downsides
of Standard Methods for Salary Comparisons

Converting
salaries to one common currency using the exchange rate, which is the most
popular method of salary comparisons, can actually lead to very false
conclusions in today&#039;s highly connected world. Despite one salary being larger
in foreign currency, the value of the salary might be drastically reduced by
the local cost of living, taxes, and other expenditures.

For
example, a person earning in US Dollars may appear at first glance to be making
more than someone earning in Indian Rupees.

However,
when both individuals pay for different things, such as house rent, modes of
transportation, healthcare, and food, the level of comfort and luxuries that
each individual attains might be very different.

To
offer a solution, Sharecirculate has introduced its Global PPP Calculator,
which is capable of providing a much deeper and more thoughtful way of
comparing salaries across countries.

Instead
of just changing one currency to another, the tool brings in the concept of
purchasing power parity to tell the users exactly what their salary can buy for
them.

Understanding
an Extremely Complex Economic Concept

Purchasing
Power Parity (PPP) is a comparative measure of currencies based on the price
levels of a basket of goods and services in two countries.

In
spite of the frequent use of PPP by economists and multinational entities, most
people find it a complex notion that is difficult to reference in their
everyday decisions.

Sharecirculate&#039;s
calculator takes a complicated economic theory and makes it user-friendly with
one click: figure out salary, select a country, and test out salary comparison
in real terms.

The
new perspective opens up a great number of people who were previously
overwhelmed with trying to figure out global salary comparisons.

Key
Features of the Advanced Global PPP Calculator.

The
newly launched calculator is designed to provide both simplicity and accuracy.

Instant
Salary Comparison

Immediately
check your salary against the ones in various countries to help you make
decisions with respect to job offers abroad or relocating.

Resolving
Cost of Living Differences

Represent
the real picture of your financial health by considering the cost of living
wherever you are.

Easy
to Operate

Performing
even the most complex calculations can be done with just a few clicks on our
tool, which sported such a stylish yet minimalistic look that it was impossible
to resist opening more.

Reliable
Data

Comparisons
are rooted in real-life situations thanks to the sourcing of trusted economic
indicators by the tool.

Who
can use the calculator?

One
can consider it as a tool to:

●       
Perform working professionals&#039; job including
all categories such as services, manufacturing, etc.

●       
Employees working remotely

●       
Freelancers

●       
People looking for jobs

●       
Undergraduates who are considering global
careers

Dealing
with Indian Professionals in the Worldwide Economy.

India
has grown to be a significant contributor to the international workforce,
particularly in the fields of cutting-edge technology, finance, consulting, and
digital services.

One
of the major questions that Indian professionals have before them is the
comparability of overseas remuneration with their Indian income.

Sharecirculate
has made a Global PPP Calculator to clear the confusion with a hard and solid
offer of data.

Using
this tool, Indian professionals can get a good perspective on their:

●       
determination of whether an international
offer of work is financially worth it

●       
knowing their salary&#039;s world standing

●       
choosing whether to move or work remotely

●       
planning goals of finance over the longer term

Therefore,
allowing users to make better choices based on tangible financial worth rather
than assumptions.

The
remote work change has opened up avenues for personnel to su ]]></description>

<title>Sahyadris to Sri Lanka: TrekPanda Marks 5,000 Tours Milestone, Launches International Packages in Six Countries</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/sahyadris-to-sri-lanka-trekpanda-marks-5000-tours-milestone-launches-international-packages-in-six-countries</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ TrekPanda,
the community-driven adventure travel company founded in Pune in 2017, has
completed 5,000 tours since its inception. Alongside this, the company has
announced its entry into international travel with curated group tour packages
across six countries. Countries like Sri Lanka, Bali, Vietnam, Thailand,
Georgia and Dubai. The expansion marks TrekPanda’s transition from a regional
trekking outfit into a full-service travel company with global reach. 

The Journey From
Sahayadri Trails To 5,000 Tours

TrekPanda
started out organising weekend hikes in the Sahyadri ranges around Pune and
Mumbai. Back in 2017, co-founders Sunny Chordiya and Pushkar Bhandari pooled
together limited sources and shared their love of the outdoors to build what
they called “India’s coolest travel community.” The early days were scrappy
with small groups, word-of-mouth bookings and treks led by the founders
themselves. There was no app, no office and certainly no plans for international
expansion.

What
kept the company going was a growing list of repeat travellers who came back
because the trips felt personal, unscripted and genuinely fun. From those
weekend Sahyadri treks, the company gradually expanded into Himalayan treks
like Brahmatal, Har ki Dun and Kedarkanta. Then to backpacking trips to Ladakh,
Spiti, and the Northeast, followed by southern circuits through Coorg,
Hampi-Gokarna and Kerala. A corporate travel vertical also took shape, running
team-building retreats and offsite adventures. Today, TrekPanda operates
departures across more than 50 domestic destinations and runs multiple batches
per week during peak season. 

Where is TrekPanda Is
Heading Next?

A
simple observation drove the decision to go international, as TrekPanda’s existing
customers were asking for it. Many of the young professionals and solo
travellers who had done three or four domestic trips wanted to explore abroad.
Still, they didn&#039;t want to plan it themselves or travel with large, impersonal
tour operators. They wanted the same community-first, small-group experience
just in a different country. 

The
company chose six international destinations based on visa accessibility for
Indian passport holders, affordability and demand from TrekPand’s traveler
base. Sri Lanka offers beaches, temples and wildlife within a compact
geography. Vietnam covers everything from Hanoi’s street food culture to the
beaches of Da Nang. Bali appeals to the adventure and wellness crowd. Thailand
remains a perennial favourite for first-time international travelers. Georgia
is an offbeat pick with affordability, visa-free for indians, and rich in
mountain landscape. And Dubai rounds out the list as a perfect short-haul high
comfort option. 

TrekPanda’s
international packages follow the same model that worked domestically.
End-to-end planning, small groups, a dedicated trip leader and a focus on local
experiences over tourist traps. Pricing is positioned as budget-to-mid range,
targeting working professionals in their twenties and thirties. Early packages
for Vietnam, for example, start at around INR 35,000-40,000 for a week-long
trip, excluding international airfare. 

What The Founders Have
To Say 

Speaking
about the milestone and the new launches, Sunny Chordiya, Co-Founder,
TrekPanda, said, “When we started in 2017, the idea was simple: to take people
on treks in the Sahyadris and make sure everyone had a good time. We never
planned to become a 5,000-tour company or an international travel brand. But
our travelers pushed us to grow. The 5K milestone is really their achievement.
And the international expansion is our way to say yes to what they have been
asking for.”

On
the operational side, TrekPanda has partnered with local operators and ground
handlers in each of the six countries. The company has trained its trip leaders
for international group management, covering foreign exchange handling, local
emergency protocols and cultural briefings. For Vietnam and Thailand, TrekPand
ran pilot batches in late 2025 using feedback to refine itineraries before the
full commercial launch. 

Pushkar
Bhandari, Co-Founder, TrekPanda, added, “Our domestic business is strong and
growing. We are not moving away from treks, as Sahyadri treks will always be
part of who we are. But the market has changed, and our travelers have evolved.
A person who did their first Rajmachi trek with us three years ago is now ready
for Bali or Georgia. We want to be the company that grows with them.”

The Road Ahead for
TrekPanda

The
move comes at a time when outbound travel from India is growing rapidly. Indian
travelers took over 28 million international trips in 2024, according to
industry estimates, and that number continues to climb as passport penetration
increases and low-cost international airlines expand their networks. Looking
ahead, TrekPanda plans to add more international destinations in th ]]></description>

<title>Rusan unveils APOSAN® 3ml Multi&amp;Dose Pen</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rusan-unveils-aposan-3ml-multi-dose-pen</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rusan-unveils-aposan-3ml-multi-dose-pen</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ~
First time in India : Rusan announces the launch of the Indigenously
Developed APOSAN® 3ml Pen for the Management of OFF Episodes in Patients
with Parkinson’s Disease~ 

Mumbai,
India | 31st March, 2026 : Rusan Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., the
marketing and distribution arm of Rusan Pharma Limited, an integrated global
pharmaceutical company, has announced the launch of the multi-dose delivery pen
device - APOSAN® 3ml Pen (Apomorphine Hydrochloride solution for injection
in cartridge)(10mg/ml)(3ml pre-filled cartridges) for treatment of motor
fluctuations commonly known as ‘ON-OFF’ episodes in patients suffering from
Parkinson’s disease (PD).

In
2018, Rusan was the first company in India to launch APOSAN® Apomorphine
Hydrochloride solution for injection (10mg/ml) (2ml and 5ml ampoules). Since
APOSAN®’s launch in India, Rusan has observed remarkable clinical impact and
consistently positive patient experiences, underscoring Apomorphine’s value as
a transformative option in Parkinson’s management.

The
company now offers the complete range of Apomorphine Hydrochloride in different
fill volumes namely - 2ml injection, 3ml in pre-filled cartridge with a
‘Multi-dose PEN device’ and 5ml for continuous ‘Infusion PUMPS’ to meet
distinct clinical scenarios in PD management, such as rapid rescue from OFF
episodes using PEN devices and sustained symptom control using infusion PUMPS.



PD
is estimated to affect nearly 10 to 11.7 million people globally, with India
accounting for a significant and growing share of the patient population.
However, the clinical perception is shifting: Early‑Onset Parkinson’s Disease
(EOPD), defined as diagnosis after the age of 20 years and before 50 years, now
represents a growing share of the global burden, with incidence and prevalence
tripling between 1990 and 2021, as reported in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery &amp; Psychiatry 2026. This clearly indicates
that Parkinson’s is not confined to older adults, and the changing age profile
emphasises the importance of increased awareness, early diagnosis and coverage,
to ensure that Parkinson’s care remains accessible across India

The
APOSAN® 3ml PEN offers a multi-dose, dial-a-dose mechanism with an enhanced
dose-visibility window, thereby enabling accurate and consistent dose
administration. The APOSAN® 3ml PEN reduces handling complexity, and supports
safer, more reliable self-administration reducing the risk of dosing errors. The APOSAN® 3ml PEN device’s lightweight, portable
design enables convenient, dependable subcutaneous administration at home,
empowering patients to manage their therapy promptly. 

Commenting
on the launch, Ms Malavika Kaura Saxena, Chief Marketing Officer, Rusan
Healthcare, stated, “The APOSAN® 3 ml PEN is a major step forward,
offering a portable, multi-use system for reliable apomorphine delivery.
Complementing this innovation, the APOSAN® HOPE Program
provides structured onboarding, guided
support, and patient-centric services that make advanced rescue therapy easier
to adopt and sustain. By simplifying training, coordination, and day-to-day
therapy management, the APOSAN® HOPE Program helps patients and families use

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"><b>~ First time in India :</b> Rusan announces the launch of the Indigenously Developed <b>APOSAN® 3ml Pen</b> for the Management of OFF Episodes in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease~ </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Mumbai, India | 31st March, 2026 :</span></b><span lang="EN"> <b>Rusan Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.</b>, the marketing and distribution arm of Rusan Pharma Limited, an integrated global pharmaceutical company, has announced the launch of the multi-dose delivery pen device - <b>APOSAN® 3ml Pen</b> (Apomorphine Hydrochloride solution for injection in cartridge)(10mg/ml)(3ml pre-filled cartridges) for treatment of motor fluctuations commonly known as ‘ON-OFF’ episodes in patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease (PD).</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In 2018, Rusan was the first company in India to launch APOSAN® Apomorphine Hydrochloride solution for injection (10mg/ml) (2ml and 5ml ampoules). Since APOSAN®’s launch in India, Rusan has observed remarkable clinical impact and consistently positive patient experiences, underscoring Apomorphine’s value as a transformative option in Parkinson’s management.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The company now offers the complete range of Apomorphine Hydrochloride in different fill volumes namely - 2ml injection, 3ml in pre-filled cartridge with a ‘Multi-dose PEN device’ and 5ml for continuous ‘Infusion PUMPS’ to meet distinct clinical scenarios in PD management, such as rapid rescue from OFF episodes using PEN devices and sustained symptom control using infusion PUMPS.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">PD is estimated to affect nearly 10 to 11.7 million people globally, with India accounting for a significant and growing share of the patient population. However, the clinical perception is shifting: Early‑Onset Parkinson’s Disease (EOPD), defined as diagnosis after the age of 20 years and before 50 years, now represents a growing share of the global burden, with incidence and prevalence tripling between 1990 and 2021, as reported in the <i><span>Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery &amp; Psychiatry </span></i><span>2026. This clearly </span>indicates that Parkinson’s is not confined to older adults, and the changing age profile emphasises the importance of increased awareness, early diagnosis and coverage, to ensure that Parkinson’s care remains accessible across India</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The APOSAN® 3ml PEN offers a multi-dose, dial-a-dose mechanism with an enhanced dose-visibility window, thereby enabling accurate and consistent dose administration. The APOSAN® 3ml PEN reduces handling complexity, and supports safer, more reliable self-administration reducing the risk of dosing errors. <span>The </span>APOSAN® 3ml PEN <span>device’s lightweight, portable design enables convenient, dependable subcutaneous administration at home, empowering patients to manage their therapy promptly.</span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Commenting on the launch, <b>Ms Malavika Kaura Saxena, Chief Marketing Officer, Rusan Healthcare</b>, stated, “<i>The APOSAN® 3 ml PEN is a major step forward, offering a portable, multi-use system for reliable apomorphine delivery. Complementing this innovation, the APOSAN®</i></span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://aposanhopeprogram.com/"><i><span> </span></i></a><a href="https://aposanhopeprogram.com/"><b><i><span>HOPE Program</span></i></b></a></span><i><u><span lang="EN"> </span></u></i><i><span lang="EN">provides structured onboarding, guided support, and patient-centric services that make advanced rescue therapy easier to adopt and sustain. By simplifying training, coordination, and day-to-day therapy management, the APOSAN® HOPE Program helps patients and families use the therapy with confidence and continuity</span></i><span lang="EN">.”</span></p>

<title>KABUNI ushers in a new era of cricket training, as envisioned by Founder Nimesh Patel</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/kabuni-ushers-in-a-new-era-of-cricket-training-as-envisioned-by-founder-nimesh-patel</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 31: Cricket has always been a game of instinct, repetition, and the
trained eye of a coach. But as the sport evolves, so do the tools that shape
its players. One of the emerging names in this space, Kabuni,
is offering a glimpse into how technology is beginning to influence the way
cricketers train, without taking away from the essence of the game.

At its core, Kabuni’s system is designed to capture what
often goes unnoticed during practice. Placed within a cricket net, the device
records both player movement and ball tracking in real time. What makes this
significant is not just the volume of data collected, but how that information
is translated into usable feedback. Instead of overwhelming players with
numbers, the system focuses on identifying small, immediate areas of
improvement, what it terms as the “1% change.”

This approach reflects a broader shift in sports training:
breaking down performance into manageable, actionable insights. Whether it’s a
slight adjustment in head position, timing, or swing path, the emphasis is on
quick learning loops. Feedback is delivered in multiple formats, voice,
visuals, and short summaries, making it easier for players to understand and
apply corrections on the spot.

Kabuni also draws from a large repository of biomechanical
data, comparing a player’s movements with those seen at elite levels of the
game. By analysing differences in technique, it attempts to highlight where
improvements can be made. The idea is not to replicate professional players,
but to provide a reference point that helps individuals refine their own style.

Another notable aspect is how the platform introduces an
element of gamification into training. Through a feature that structures
performance over a set number of deliveries, players can track progress and, in
some cases, compare themselves with others. This adds a layer of engagement,
particularly for younger athletes who respond well to measurable goals and
competitive benchmarks.

Importantly, Kabuni’s model also reflects an effort to make
structured performance analysis more accessible. Advanced tools that were once
limited to elite setups are gradually finding their way into academies and
grassroots environments. This shift could play a role in standardising training
quality across different levels of the sport.

At the same time, the increasing use of performance data
brings attention to issues of clarity and privacy. Kabuni’s approach, as
described, leans toward simplifying insights prioritising key takeaways over
detailed dashboards, and ensuring that users maintain control over their data.
With younger athletes in the ecosystem, such considerations are becoming
essential.

Despite the technological layer, the role of the coach
remains intact. Tools like Kabuni are positioned as enablers rather than replacements,
helping coaches and players make more informed decisions while preserving the
human element of training.

As cricket continues to embrace innovation, platforms like
Kabuni highlight a larger transition underway. The nets may look the same, but the
feedback loop within them is changing, making training more structured, more
immediate, and increasingly informed by data. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, March 30, 2026 : KARAM Safety,
a global leader in personal protective equipment (PPE) and fall protection
solutions, marked National Safety Month with a series of on-ground initiatives
aimed at strengthening safety awareness across industrial and public
environments. Moving beyond the traditional observance of National Safety Week,
the company expanded its efforts into a month-long engagement to deepen
outreach and drive meaningful behavioural change.

As
part of the initiative, KARAM Safety collaborated with established
industry organisations, including SMS Group, Ashok Leyland, and Tata Group,
conducting on-site product training sessions across multiple locations such as
plants, factories, and construction sites. These sessions focused on practical,
hands-on demonstrations, enabling workers to better understand the correct
usage and application of personal protective equipment (PPE) in real-world
scenarios. Through direct engagement at operational sites, the company was able
to reach a large workforce base and reinforce the importance of workplace
safety.

Speaking
on the initiative, Mr. Hemant Sapra, President – Global Sales and Marketing,
KARAM Safety, said, “At KARAM Safety, we believe that safety is not limited
to compliance but is a continuous commitment that must be embedded in everyday
behaviour. By observing National Safety Month, we aimed to expand the
conversation beyond workplaces and actively engage with communities. Through
hands-on training, industry collaborations, and public outreach, our focus remains
on encouraging, engaging, and educating people to adopt safer practices in
every aspect of their lives.”

In
addition to industrial outreach, KARAM Safety partnered with its regional sales
offices to extend the initiative beyond workplaces and into public spaces.
Canopy stalls were set up in high-footfall marketplaces, where the team engaged
directly with visitors to promote safety awareness and educate them on everyday
safety practices. The initiative witnessed a strong response, with both
industrial workers and the public showing keen interest in understanding safety
solutions.

The
month-long observance also included the 55th National Safety Week inauguration,
held under the theme “Encourage, Engage, and Educate.” The initiative was
launched with the National Safety Council flag hoisting across our
manufacturing facilities nationwide. A keynote safety address followed,
celebrating our significant progress in incident reduction while reinforcing
the critical role of near-miss reporting in achieving our &#039;Zero Harm&#039; objective
at every plant location.

Internal
engagement activities were also conducted to encourage employee participation
and reinforce a culture of shared responsibility towards safety.

Through
this extended initiative, KARAM Safety reaffirmed its commitment to building a
culture of safety that spans industries as well as communities, ensuring that
awareness and education translate into safer environments for all.

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Among top 15% of global banking leaders with a
CSA score of 79/100

●       
India&#039;s highest-rated bank by S&amp;P Global
in CSA 2025

Mumbai,
March 30, 2026: YES BANK has reinforced its position as
India&#039;s sustainability leader in banking, achieving a score of 79 out of 100 on
the S&amp;P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) 2025, emerging as
India&#039;s highest-rated bank in the assessment, with a seven-point improvement
from the previous year.

This
milestone marks YES BANK&#039;s fourth consecutive year of inclusion in the
prestigious S&amp;P Global Sustainability Yearbook, placing it among the top
15% of global banking leaders in the 2026 edition. Out of over 9,200 companies
assessed globally across 59 industries, only 848 top-performing organizations
earned inclusion in the yearbook – making this distinction particularly
significant. YES BANK stands as the sole Indian bank among 76 high-scoring
Indian companies to achieve this recognition.

The
S&amp;P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment evaluates up to 1,000 data
points across critical ESG factors including Climate Strategy, Operational
Eco-Efficiency, Financial Inclusion, Human Capital Development, Human Rights,
Corporate Governance, and Risk Management. YES BANK&#039;s CSA and ESG scores of 79
reflect its comprehensive approach to environmental, social, and governance
(ESG) excellence.

Mr.
Niranjan Banodkar, Group CFO, YES BANK,
said “Achieving a score of 79 on the S&amp;P Global CSA and being recognised
in the Sustainability Yearbook 2026 validates our long-standing commitment to
integrating sustainability into our core banking operations. At YES BANK, ESG
is fundamental to our business strategy and value creation. This recognition
reflects our resolve to set new benchmarks in sustainable banking. As we
progress on our journey toward net-zero operations by 2030, we remain focused
on delivering positive outcomes for our stakeholders, communities, and the
environment.”

YES
BANK&#039;s sustainability leadership extends beyond the S&amp;P Global recognition.
The Bank has been included in the FTSE4Good Index Series for the third

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
March 30, 2026 : With India’s senior population projected to
cross 180 million and set to double over the next two decades, the need
for specialised, geriatrician-led eldercare is becoming increasingly critical.
Addressing this gap, Geri Care, India’s leading integrated geriatric healthcare
provider, today announced the inauguration of its newest Skilled Nursing
Facility &amp; Clinic for Senior Citizens in Sarjapur, Bengaluru. This
marks Geri Care’s 12th facility in India and its second centre in Bengaluru,
following its Ulsoor facility.

Conveying
his wishes on the launch of the centre, Sri. Dinesh Gundu Rao, Hon’ble
Minister for Health &amp; Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, said, “As
our cities grow and demographics shift, the need for structured, specialised
eldercare is becoming increasingly important. Institutions like Geri Care play
a vital role in strengthening the healthcare ecosystem for our senior citizens.
Facilities such as these will be critical in ensuring that elders receive
continuous, dignified care closer to their homes and communities.”

“Eldercare
is not just a medical need, but a societal responsibility. Institutions like
Geri Care ensure our seniors receive the specialised, compassionate care they
truly deserve, in the hands of expert geriatricians. Bengaluru needs more such
initiatives,” said Sri. Harsh Gupta, IAS, Principal
Secretary, Health &amp; Family Welfare Department, Government of Karnataka, while
inaugurating the facility in the presence of senior medical professionals and
community members.

Dr.
Lakshmipathy Ramesh, Founder &amp; Managing Director, Geri Care,
added, “Bengaluru has rapidly emerged as a city with a large and growing
senior population, both long-time residents and elders of migrant families.
With Sarjapur, we are deepening our commitment to the city by bringing a
geriatrician-led, continuum-of-care model closer to where families live today.
Our goal is to address the missing middle in eldercare, between hospital and
home—through integrated, clinically anchored care that supports seniors across
every stage of ageing.”

Located
at Haralur Main Road, Sarjapur, the 120+ bed centre brings Geri Care’s geriatrician-led,
multidisciplinary model to one of Bengaluru’s fastest-growing residential
corridors. The facility integrates a Skilled Nursing Facility with a Senior
Citizens Clinic that serves as the central access point, offering consultations
with geriatricians and visiting specialists, routine check-ups, adult
vaccinations, and chronic disease management.

The
centre offers specialised physiotherapy and rehabilitation for seniors,
along with Assisted Living, Memory Clinic, Post-Surgery and
Post-Hospitalisation Care, Respite Care, and Palliative Care and a Senior
Citizens Day Clinic. A key highlight is Geri Care’s pioneering Dialysis
Daycare and Stay-care model, the first in India, designed for seniors
requiring ongoing dialysis in a clinically supervised, elder-centric
environment.

At
its core is Geri Care’s Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) model, bridging
the gap between hospital and home by providing continuous medical supervision,
structured recovery, and long-term care through a clinically managed,
geriatrician-led approach.

The
Sarjapur centre is also envisioned as a community hub for senior citizens,
hosting awareness programs, preventive health initiatives, and engagement
activities for elders and their families.

With
a growing presence across Chennai, Bengaluru, and Coimbatore, Geri Care
continues to build a 360-degree, geriatrician-led ecosystem spanning
hospitals, clinics, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, and home care—
anchored in dignity, continuity, and quality of care. ]]></description>

<title>Skill Education vs Traditional Degrees: What Will Matter More by 2030?</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

For
decades, higher education has followed a repetitive structure: attending
classes, earning a degree, and then stepping into the workforce. While this
model has shaped generations of professionals, the world is evolving at a rapid
pace that traditional education systems cannot adapt to. By 2030, the
discussion about employment potential may shift dramatically, from the value of
a degree and marks in exams to the relevance of real-world skills such as
creative thinking that can solve real-world problems, collaboration with teams,
and communication skills.

Across
industries, employers are increasingly looking for professionals who can
contribute from day one. Orchid understands that practical knowledge,
adaptability, and hands-on experience are becoming more important than
theoretical understanding alone. As a result, skill-based education is
emerging as one of the most important forces shaping the future of higher
learning. 

The Limits of Traditional Degrees

Traditional
degree programs have long been valued for their academic rigor and structured
learning, providing students with foundational knowledge in science and
technology and the arts.

However,
the demands of modern industries are evolving rapidly. Many graduates enter the
job market with strong theoretical knowledge but limited exposure to real-world
challenges. Employers often invest additional months or even years training new
hires before they become fully productive.

This
gap between education and employability has become a growing concern, as industries
become more technology-driven and innovation-focused, the ability to apply
knowledge practically has become just as important as acquiring it.

Recognizing
this shift, Orchid University, supported by Distil Group, is exploring
new education models that combine academic learning with real-world industry
exposure.

Why
Skill-Based Education Is Gaining Momentum

Skill-based education
focuses on preparing students for the realities of the workplace. Instead of
relying solely on classroom learning, it combines academic understanding with
practical application, project-based learning, and industry exposure.

Globally,
many education systems are moving toward this approach. Countries with strong
apprenticeship cultures have demonstrated that when students gain real work
experience during their education, they enter the workforce more confidently
and contribute more effectively.

In
India, where millions of students graduate every year, the conversation around
employability is becoming more urgent. As the economy evolves and new
industries emerge, institutions are increasingly recognizing the importance of
equipping students with skills that align with industry needs.

This
is where institutions such as Orchid University, backed by Distil Group,
are positioning themselves differently by emphasizing skill development, career
readiness, and real industry engagement as core components of higher education.

The
Learn &amp; Earn Revolution 

One of the most
promising developments in education is the Learn &amp; Earn model.
Instead of waiting until graduation to enter the workforce, students gain
professional exposure while they are still studying.

This
approach transforms the learning experience in several ways. Students not only
understand theoretical concepts but also see how those ideas function in real
business environments. They work on real projects, interact with professionals,
and develop practical skills that cannot be learned through textbooks alone.

At Orchid
University, this philosophy forms the foundation of its academic approach.
Supported by the vision of Distil Group, the institution is exploring how
students can integrate academic learning with professional experience through
structured Learn &amp; Earn opportunities.

Day
One Stipend: Rethinking the Student Journey

A
growing number of forward-thinking institutions are experimenting with day-one
stipend models, where students begin earning from the start of their
educational journey. This concept reflects a major shift in the philosophy of
higher education. Instead of viewing students only as learners, institutions
recognize them as emerging professionals who can contribute meaningfully even
during their training.

At Orchid
University, this approach is being explored through programs that allow
students to gain real-world experience while receiving financial support during
their learning journey. The benefits extend beyond financial support, as
students who earn while learning often develop stronger work ethics, better
time management skills, and a deeper understanding of how industries operate.

By
the time they graduate, they are not simply degree holders; they are
experienced professionals ready to take on real responsibilities.

Intergenerational,
Skill-Based, Value-Driven Learning 

Education has always
been one of the most  ]]></description>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For decades, higher education has followed a repetitive structure: attending classes, earning a degree, and then stepping into the workforce. While this model has shaped generations of professionals, the world is evolving at a rapid pace that traditional education systems cannot adapt to. By 2030, the discussion about employment potential may shift dramatically, from the value of a degree and marks in exams to the relevance of real-world skills such as creative thinking that can solve real-world problems, collaboration with teams, and communication skills.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Across industries, employers are increasingly looking for professionals who can contribute from day one. Orchid understands that practical knowledge, adaptability, and hands-on experience are becoming more important than theoretical understanding alone. As a result, <b>skill-based education </b>is emerging as one of the most important forces shaping the future of higher learning. </span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Traditional degree programs have long been valued for their academic rigor and structured learning, providing students with foundational knowledge in science and technology and the arts.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">However, the demands of modern industries are evolving rapidly. Many graduates enter the job market with strong theoretical knowledge but limited exposure to real-world challenges. Employers often invest additional months or even years training new hires before they become fully productive.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>

<title>IIM Lucknow Alumnus Launches Happy Jhappi, India’s First Ritual Gifting Brand</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/iim-lucknow-alumnus-launches-happy-jhappi-indias-first-ritual-gifting-brand</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Lucknow/Noida, March 30, 2026: Happy Jhappi, a direct-to-consumer brand headquartered in
Noida, has launched as India&#039;s first ritual gifting company - introducing a product category the brand defines as gifting
designed to sustain relationships through shared daily practice, rather than
mark occasions through a

one-time gesture.

 

The company is founded by
Nikhill Srivastavaa, an IIM Lucknow alumnus and founder of Half Circles Media Pvt Ltd, a DIPP-certified communications agency established in 2016.
Happy Jhappi is entirely bootstrapped through personal savings, with
Srivastavaa adopting a

brand-first, margin-first
strategy that deliberately avoids marketplace dependency and discount-led volume
growth.

 

India&#039;s gifting market has
optimised entirely around occasions and transaction speed. Nobody has asked the
more fundamental question: what does a gift do to a relationship over time?
That is the gap Happy Jhappi is built to address.

- Nikhill
Srivastavaa, Founder, Happy Jhappi

 

MARKET POSITIONING AND OPPORTUNITY

India&#039;s gifting industry is
among the largest in Asia by transaction volume, driven by a dense calendar of
festivals, religious occasions, and personal milestones. However, existing
players - from legacy retailers such as Archies and Ferns N Petals to quick-commerce
gifting platforms - compete almost entirely on occasion coverage, delivery
speed, and price accessibility.

 

Happy Jhappi identifies an
unaddressed segment: premium, emotionally-led gifting for urban Indian couples
aged 25-40, where the buyer&#039;s motivation is relationship investment rather than
occasion-compliance. The brand&#039;s target consumer is the dual-income urban
household - the same cohort driving premiumisation across wellness, food,
travel, and experiential categories in India.





No incumbent occupies this
position. The brand is not competing within existing gifting; it is defining a
new category - ritual gifting - and establishing the category standard before
scale becomes the objective.

 

 

DEBUT PRODUCT: THE US, EVERYDAY COLLECTION 

Happy Jhappi&#039;s first SKU, The
Us, Everyday Collection, is a 30-day guided connection experience for couples.
MRP Rs. 7,999, available at a launch price of Rs. 6,999. The collection
comprises nine curated elements:

•  
30 Ritual Cards

•  
Card Stack Holder

•  
Black Metallic Pen - Your Words,
Your Ritual Ink

•  
Illuminated LED Card Holder -
Your Evening Ritual Light

•  
Gratitude / Good Work Jar with
30 Chits

•  
12 Seed Paper Sheets - Rituals
of Growing Together

•  
Heart-Shaped Diary - 30 Ritual
Pages

•  
Jhappi Journal

•  
The Mascot - Your Ritual
Reminder

 

The product is engineered for a
30-day usage cycle - one shared ritual per day - with the explicit objective of
creating a new sustained behaviour between partners rather than a one-time
gifting moment. The theatrical unboxing, layered packaging architecture, and
guided experience are all designed to reinforce premium positioning and resist
commoditisation.

 

BUSINESS MODEL AND GO-TO-MARKET STRATEGY

Happy Jhappi is launching
exclusively direct-to-consumer via www.happyjhappi.com, with no
immediate plans for marketplace listing. Marketplace commission structures of
up to 37% are cited as incompatible with sustaining premium brand positioning
and healthy contribution margins in the brand-building phase.

 

The go-to-market strategy
prioritises founder-led organic content, short-form video, and strategic
distribution partnerships with high-affinity channels including wedding
planners, relationship professionals, and premium hospitality properties - all
channels that align with the brand&#039;s considered-purchase positioning and
premium AOV.

 

Two additional collections are
in production for launch within 60 days: The Us, Always Collection, a
parent-child ritual kit targeting the Mother&#039;s Day gifting window, and a couples&#039;
intimacy collection positioned at a higher price point. website: www.happyjhappi.com

 

FOUNDER PROFILE

Nikhill Srivastavaa is an IIM
Lucknow alumnus with over 18 years of experience spanning journalism, political
communication, and brand strategy. He founded Half Circles Media Pvt Ltd in
2016, a DIPP-certified agency delivering digital ecosystem strategy and
communication campaigns for governments, political parties, and large brands.
He has served as a digital communications strategist for the world&#039;s largest
political party for over 9 years. A published






poet and guest lecturer at IIMC
and Delhi University, he is active on X as @snikhil_social, where he is
followed by the Prime Minister of India.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span lang="EN">India's gifting market has optimised entirely around occasions and transaction speed. Nobody has asked the more fundamental question: what does a gift do to a relationship over time? That is the gap Happy Jhappi is built to address.</span></i></b><b><i><span lang="EN"></span></i></b></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">India's gifting industry is among the largest in Asia by transaction volume, driven by a dense calendar of festivals, religious occasions, and personal milestones. However, existing players - from legacy retailers such as Archies and Ferns N Petals to quick-commerce gifting platforms - compete almost entirely on occasion coverage, delivery speed, and price accessibility.</span><span lang="EN"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Happy Jhappi identifies an unaddressed segment: premium, emotionally-led gifting for urban Indian couples aged 25-40, where the buyer's motivation is relationship investment rather than occasion-compliance. The brand's target consumer is the dual-income urban household - the same cohort driving premiumisation across wellness, food, travel, and experiential categories in India.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, 30 March 2026: Celebrating its Golden Jubilee year, Puravankara Limited, one
of India’s most trusted and admired real estate developers, successfully hosted
the Puravankara 10K at the KIADB Hardware Park, Baglur, Bengaluru North. The
event brought together its extended ecosystem of employees, partners,
customers, marathoners, and well-wishers, reflecting the strong community that
has shaped the company’s journey over five decades.

Mallanna Sasalu, CEO - South, Puravankara Limited, said, &quot;As we celebrate five decades of Puravankara,
this run reflects the spirit of our journey. I believe our 50-year journey
should not be measured only by the number of buildings we have built, but by
the responsibility we carry forward. 
This 10K Run is our way of marking that milestone – not just with
celebration, but with purpose.

Every step mirrors our commitment to endurance, collective
action, and a greener future. As a responsible developer, we know that true
growth is measured in the legacy that we will leave behind for the planet. That’s
why our pledge of 1 million trees is not just a promise but a duty.  This Run is a rallying call to our
communities to join us in that journey. Because the ground that we cover today
will shape the landscape of tomorrow – rooted in action, built for generations.&quot;

The run served as a tribute to the people behind Puravankara’s
50-year legacy. It attracted thousands of participants across different
categories, including the 10K and 5K runs and team relays, demonstrating strong
engagement and collective enthusiasm. The event was organised in partnership
with NEB Sports, with Fast&amp;Up as the hydration partner and Baptist Hospital
as the medical partner, ensuring a well-coordinated and safe experience for all
participants.

Reinforcing its long-term commitment to sustainability,
Puravankara marked the occasion by planting 1,000 trees on race day, with a
further 9,000 saplings to be planted in the coming days. This is part of the
company’s larger pledge to plant 1 million trees by 2030 under the World
Economic Forum’s 1t.org global initiative, reflecting
its vision of building responsible, future-ready communities alongside its
growth ambitions.

The Puravankara 10K Run stands as a meaningful milestone in the
company’s Golden Jubilee year, bringing together community, wellness, and
sustainability, while reinforcing its commitment to creating long-term value
for both people and the environment. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, March 30th, 2026: HMD today announced
its continuation and elevated partnership with Rajasthan Royals, stepping up
from official smartphone partner to Associate Sponsor. This marks the third
consecutive year of a fruitful collaboration, blending HMD&#039;s innovative spirit
with the Rajasthan Royals&#039; dynamic cricketing legacy to connect with fans
worldwide.

The
sponsorship places HMD&#039;s branding on the back of the helmets, offering
unprecedented visibility to an international audience passionate about
cricketing action. Rajasthan Royals&#039; global fanbase, spanning India and beyond,
amplifies HMD&#039;s presence, engaging cricket lovers who value reliable tech in
their daily grind.

Commenting
on the partnership, Ravi Kunwar, VP and CEO, HMD India and APAC, said, “Continuing
our association with Rajasthan Royals for our third innings feels like coming
home on the field. It’s about putting HMD right in the line of sight for fans
everywhere. This isn’t just branding; it’s about sharing the Royals’ grit and
connecting with cricket lovers who expect their gear to last as long as the
game’s thrill. This partnership coincides perfectly with our upcoming
smartphone launch, already creating noticeable pre-buzz in the target markets
for the masses. Fans are buzzing about HMD&#039;s rugged, reliable tech that matches
the Royals&#039; unyielding spirit, bridging cricket fever with advanced innovation
just in time for the big reveal.”

The
ongoing cricket league stands as the world&#039;s most sought-after cricket league,
pulling in legendary players from every corner of the globe for its high-stakes
battles. HMD&#039;s continued partnership with Rajasthan Royals shows our rock-solid
dedication to the Indian market. It&#039;s built on shared strengths, performance
that delivers, putting audiences first, a touch of nostalgia in every move, and
just like HMD packs top-notch specs into our phones, Royals line up with the
absolute best cricketing talent on their roster. 

Commenting
on the association, Alok Chitre, Chief Operating Officer, Rajasthan Royals,
said, “Partnering with HMD aligns perfectly with our high-energy ethos. It
puts their branding where the action heats up, on every bold shot. This isn’t
just a deal; it’s shared fire that amps excitement in stadiums and beyond,
pulling in cricket nuts who live for that raw edge in tech and on the field.
This third-year partnership opens doors to our worldwide supporters, fueling
excitement that resonates far beyond the stadiums.”

This
alliance not only cements HMD&#039;s stake in India&#039;s cricket fever but also bridges
technology and sport on a global stage, empowering fans everywhere with devices
that match the game&#039;s unyielding pace and passion. ]]></description>

In
addition to sports sessions, KINETIKO includes structured lesson plans,
assessment frameworks, safety guidelines, teacher training modules, and sports
event models. While the sessions will be conducted by trained professionals
across Hi Kalpaa centres, the curriculum has been shaped with Chahal’s inputs
to ensure that sports is introduced to young children in a way that is
engaging, age-appropriate, and developmentally meaningful.

KINETIKO
will also be offered as part of Hi Kalpaa’s upcoming summer camp, allowing
children to experience the curriculum through structured sports activities
during the seasonal program.

Speaking
on the launch, Shalini Sharma, Founder &amp; CEO of Hi-Kalpaa, said:
“KINETIKO reflects our belief that early education must prepare children for
life in every sense; not just academically, but physically, emotionally, and
socially. Our collaboration with Yuzvendra Chahal has helped us shape a sports
curriculum that is development-led, joyful, and meaningful for young children,
while building habits and skills that stay with them for years to come.”

With
KINETIKO, Hi Kalpaa continues to expand its experiential approach to early
education by integrating movement and sports into the formative years in a
structured and purposeful way.



About Hi Kalpaa:






Hi Kalpaa is a School of Experiential
Learning, dedicated to providing an environment where children can explore,
learn, and grow with confidence. Backed by a team of exceptionally experienced
educators, Hi Kalpaa is committed to nurturing the individual potential of each

<title>Integrated Zero&amp;Waste Technology Framework at RGIPT</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/integrated-zero-waste-technology-framework-at-rgipt</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/integrated-zero-waste-technology-framework-at-rgipt</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Transforming waste into valuable resources is no longer a
conceptual aspiration but a practical reality at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of
Petroleum Technology (RGIPT). The institute has emerged as a pioneering model
for integrated waste management and circular economy implementation, where
multiple waste streams are systematically converted into energy, materials, and
reusable resources. This transformation has been driven by the vision and
leadership of Prof. Harish Hirani, whose extensive experience in sustainable
technologies and large-scale waste management has enabled the development of a
campus-wide, practice-oriented ecosystem. Building upon his earlier
contributions at CSIR-CMERI, the initiatives at RGIPT demonstrate how academic
institutions can evolve into living laboratories, seamlessly integrating
research, technology deployment, and real-world applications in sustainability.


A central pillar of this transformation is the development
of an integrated zero-waste ecosystem at RGIPT, designed around a closed-loop
resource recovery approach. Unlike conventional waste management practices that
treat waste streams in isolation, the RGIPT model interconnects multiple
streams to maximize resource efficiency and minimize environmental impact.
Wastewater generated on campus is treated through a sewage treatment system and
reused for non-potable applications, including aquaculture, thereby creating a
sustainable water cycle. Organic waste is processed through anaerobic digestion
to generate biogas, contributing to renewable energy production. At the same
time, plastic waste is systematically repurposed into functional and durable
products, reducing landfill dependency and environmental burden. Together, these
interventions demonstrate a practical and scalable framework for transitioning
towards a circular and resource-efficient campus. 

In addition to
core waste-to-resource pathways, RGIPT has incorporated advanced technologies
such as biochar production and membrane-based treatment systems to enhance both
carbon management and water purification. These innovations enable carbon
capture through biochar applications and improve the efficiency of wastewater
treatment, adding a climate-responsive dimension to the overall waste
management strategy. By integrating such emerging technologies, the system
extends beyond conventional waste handling to address broader environmental
challenges, including emissions reduction and resource conservation.

The broader
objective is to position RGIPT as a model institution for circular economy
implementation, where waste is consistently treated as a valuable resource and
reintegrated into productive use with minimal environmental impact. This
approach uniquely combines research, technology deployment, and institutional
practices, effectively bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and
real-world application. It demonstrates how academic campuses can function as
scalable testbeds for sustainable solutions with national relevance. 

Looking ahead,
the focus at RGIPT is on scaling and optimizing the integrated zero-waste
systems to achieve a fully self-sustained campus. This includes expanding
waste-to-energy pathways, strengthening advanced material recovery processes, enhancing
water reuse networks, and incorporating efficient carbon management
technologies. The objective is to improve system efficiency, increase resource
recovery, and develop a robust, self-reliant model that can be replicated
across other institutions and urban settings.

These efforts
will culminate in the observance of International Zero Waste Day on 30th March,
during which the institute will showcase its integrated waste management
technologies. The occasion will serve as a platform to demonstrate RGIPT’s
commitment to sustainable practices and circular economy principles through
live demonstrations of its campus-scale systems, highlighting their potential
for broader societal adoption.

The technological framework at RGIPT is grounded in the
principles of a circular bioeconomy, wherein waste streams are systematically
interconnected to enable continuous resource recovery. Rather than treating
waste in isolated silos, the approach links energy, water, materials, and
nutrient cycles into a unified system. This integrated model ensures that
outputs from one process serve as inputs for another, thereby maximizing
efficiency and minimizing environmental losses. By embedding such
interdependencies, the framework establishes a self-sustaining pathway for waste
utilization while contributing to long-term ecological balance and resource
conservation.

At the core of
this framework is the circular bioeconomy system that links organic waste
management with energy generation and agricultural applications. Organic and
food waste generated on campus are processed through anaerobic digestion to
produce biogas, serving as a renewa ]]></description>

The occasion will serve as a platform to demonstrate RGIPT’s commitment to sustainable practices and circular economy principles through live demonstrations of its campus-scale systems, highlighting their potential for broader societal adoption</span><span>.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The technological framework at RGIPT is grounded in the principles of a circular bioeconomy, wherein waste streams are systematically interconnected to enable continuous resource recovery. Rather than treating waste in isolated silos, the approach links energy, water, materials, and nutrient cycles into a unified system. This integrated model ensures that outputs from one process serve as inputs for another, thereby maximizing efficiency and minimizing environmental losses. By embedding such interdependencies, the framework establishes a self-sustaining pathway for waste utilization while contributing to long-term ecological balance and resource conservation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">At the core of this framework is the circular bioeconomy system that links organic waste management with energy generation and agricultural applications. Organic and food waste generated on campus are processed through anaerobic digestion to produce biogas, serving as a renewable energy source. The residual digestate is further converted into value-added products such as vermicompost, pelletized manure, and nutrient-rich soil conditioners. These outputs are utilized in agricultural applications, enhancing soil fertility and supporting sustainable crop production. This integrated pathway not only ensures efficient utilization of organic waste but also closes the nutrient loop, reducing dependence on external inputs and promoting a more resilient and sustainable ecosystem.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>A key challenge in biogas utilization is the presence of carbon dioxide (CO</span><span>₂</span><span>) and other impurities, which reduce its calorific value and overall efficiency. To address this, RGIPT has developed a membrane-based biogas upgrading system enhanced with nanofluid-assisted separation. In this multi-stage configuration, CO</span><span>₂</span><span> and trace impurities are selectively removed while methane is retained and enriched. The incorporation of nanofluids improves mass transfer and separation efficiency, and a multi-pass operation further enhances methane concentration. As a result, the upgraded biomethane exhibits significantly higher energy content and improved fuel quality. This approach represents a notable advancement over conventional purification techniques, while also contributing to carbon capture and making the process both energy-efficient and environmentally responsive.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>To further strengthen the waste-to-energy pathway, RGIPT has adopted hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) as an effective solution for converting mixed and low-value waste streams into useful fuels. This technology is particularly relevant in the current waste management landscape, where heterogeneous waste—especially combinations of plastic and organic matter—poses significant recycling challenges and often ends up in landfills or incineration systems. Under optimized conditions of elevated temperature and pressure, HTL converts such mixed waste into biocrude oil, along with hydrochar and gaseous byproducts. The process yields approximately 10 wt.% biocrude, demonstrating its potential as an alternative energy source. By enabling the recovery of energy from otherwise non-recyclable waste, HTL offers a sustainable and practical pathway to reduce landfill dependency while contributing to resource efficiency and circular economy goals.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Material recovery within the framework is further strengthened through plastic waste valorization, wherein non-recyclable plastic is transformed into durable and functional utility products. Through controlled thermal and mechanical processing, discarded plastics are converted into items such as mats, tables, and stools that exhibit good strength, durability, and resistance to environmental conditions. This approach not only addresses the challenge of plastic waste disposal but also generates economically useful materials with practical applications on campus and beyond. By demonstrating a cost-effective and decentralized model, this initiative offers a scalable solution for plastic waste management, particularly relevant for urban and semi-urban settings where conventional recycling infrastructure is limited.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Water sustainability within the framework is achieved through an integrated nano–bio wastewater treatment system that combines biological processes with nanofluid-assisted interactions and plant-based extracts. This hybrid approach enables efficient removal of pollutants, including turbidity, dissolved solids, and organic contaminants, achieving reductions of over 95% in COD and BOD levels. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The treated water is suitable for reuse in irrigation, aquaculture, and other non-potable campus applications, thereby significantly reducing freshwater demand. In addition, the biomass generated during treatment can be further utilized for energy recovery or soil applications, ensuring minimal waste generation. This system demonstrates an effective and resource-efficient solution for closing the water loop within a sustainable campus ecosystem.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Collectively, these interventions form a cohesive and synergistic ecosystem in which each process contributes to the overall efficiency of the system. What distinguishes this model is not merely the deployment of individual technologies, but their seamless integration into a unified resource recovery network. Organic waste is converted into energy and soil nutrients, biogas is upgraded into a high-quality fuel, mixed waste is transformed into liquid and solid energy carriers, plastic waste is repurposed into functional products, and wastewater is treated for reuse. This interconnected approach ensures optimal utilization of resources across multiple domains while minimizing environmental impact. As the system continues to evolve, ongoing efforts are directed toward improving process efficiencies, expanding recovery pathways, and strengthening linkages between energy, water, and material cycles to achieve greater levels of self-sufficiency.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>In summary, the integrated framework developed at RGIPT demonstrates a coherent and scalable pathway for transforming waste into valuable resources through scientifically designed and interconnected processes. By converting waste streams into energy, materials, and reusable inputs, the model not only addresses waste management challenges but also contributes to climate action, resource conservation, and sustainable development. Its strength lies in its practical implementation and replicability, offering a blueprint for other academic institutions, urban communities, and policy initiatives aiming to transition toward circular and resilient systems. As environmental pressures continue to intensify, such integrated and technology-driven approaches will play a crucial role in shaping sustainable futures.</span><span></span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Recognition anchors Toss the Coin’s approach to building scalable,
impact-driven brand systems, while reinforcing ThoughtFocus’s positioning as a
future-ready AI-led enterprise built for clarity, scale, and market impact.

India – 30th March 2026: Toss the Coin Limited (TTC), a
full-suite B2B marketing consulting agency, has secured the Best Brand
Guidelines Design award at the Economic Times Awards for Design &amp;
Creativity 2026 for The
ThoughtFocus Brand Identity System.
The award recognizes TTC&#039;s
exceptional brand strategy and brand identity design in redefining how
ThoughtFocus communicates its identity to the market, while strengthening its
positioning as a future-ready, innovation-led organization built for global
scale.

“This recognition is a testament that creativity does not
differentiate between B2B and B2C. Winning this award amidst B2C stalwarts was
a recognition of what we have always set out for. The ThoughtFocus identity was
more than a visual exercise. It was about giving a world-class brand the
language to express who they truly became,” said
Reshma Bhudia, CEO, Toss the Coin Limited.

About the ET Awards for Design &amp; Creativity


The Economic Times Awards for Design &amp; Creativity recognize
excellence at the intersection of design, innovation, and impact. The platform
honors work that goes beyond aesthetics, celebrating ideas that build stronger
brands, create meaningful connections, and drive measurable business outcomes
across industries. 

This
positions TTC among agencies redefining how design brings clarity, consistency,
and impact to complex enterprise environments.

The Brief: Redefining ThoughtFocus as an AI-Led Innovation Partner


ThoughtFocus, a U.S. headquartered technology company with over 3,000
employees across five countries, approached Toss the Coin with a clear
challenge: to evolve a brand identity aligned with the scale and direction of
its global operations. Backed by H.I.G. Capital, ThoughtFocus operates with the
agility of a boutique firm and the infrastructure of a global enterprise. To
support its evolution, it established the ThoughtFocus AI Lab and a dedicated
AI Czar Office, instrumental commitments that signaled a structural shift in
how the organization was applying emerging technology across its operations.

As ThoughtFocus strengthened its commitment to bold innovation, its
brand identity and visual language needed to evolve to reflect this ambition,
deepening resonance with customers, partners, and talent across key sectors
including banking, financial services, insurance, healthcare, and
manufacturing.

The brief to Toss the Coin was clear. It was to translate that
maturity into a brand that could carry the weight of where ThoughtFocus was
headed. The scope spanned brand strategy, competitive positioning, visual
architecture, and messaging frameworks, with the visual identity system at its
core.

The Creative Solution: Clarity by Design 

Inspired by the idea of Clarity in Complexity, where clarity becomes
the ultimate currency in a world of constant transformation, TTC built the
identity around two powerful symbols: 

●       
The Thought Bubble,
representing curiosity and AI-led thinking 


●       
The Focus Lens,
embodying precision and smarter decision-making 


Together, they bring to life ThoughtFocus’s core positioning: Fearless
by Design. Innovative by Nature.

The result is a brand built not just to look different, but to think
differently, consistent across global markets and instantly recognizable across
touchpoints. More importantly, it enables ThoughtFocus to communicate with
greater clarity, build stronger market recall, and create more consistent,
high-impact interactions across customer and stakeholder touchpoints.

Echoing this, Nick Sharma, CEO, ThoughtFocus, said: “Toss
the Coin brought together creativity, storytelling, and strategic clarity to
build a brand that truly reflects who we are and where we are headed. The
identity is not just distinctive it is future-ready, giving us the confidence
to scale consistently across markets and engage more effectively with our
customers and stakeholders.”

For ThoughtFocus, the recognition marks a step forward in establishing
a brand that reflects its ambition, capability, and readiness to lead in an
AI-driven future.

<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai,
30th March 2026 : When India&#039;s defence and intelligence agencies
need to see the unseen, to detect a threat before it strikes, to connect dots
across terabytes of fragmented data, to stay five steps ahead of adversaries
operating at the speed of algorithms, they increasingly turn to technology
built by an Indian company, on Indian soil, for Indian sovereignty. That
company is Innefu Labs. And the man who saw
this future before it became a national conversation is Tarun Wig.

At
the India Today &amp; Mahindra Drivers of Change Awards 2026, held at the
Fairmont Mumbai, Tarun Wig, Co-Founder and CEO of Innefu Labs, was felicitated
by Shri Jishnu Dev Varma, Hon&#039;ble Governor of Maharashtra, a moment that was as
much a recognition of one leader as it was a statement about the direction of
an entire nation.

In
its third edition, the Drivers of Change Awards, organised by the India Today
Group in association with Mahindra Automotive, brought together India&#039;s most
distinguished policymakers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers under one roof. The
evening was a celebration of transformative leadership, of those who are not
merely responding to India&#039;s growth story, but actively writing it. Among the
15 honourees selected from across sectors, Tarun Wig stood out for a domain
that sits at the very heart of India&#039;s strategic future: Sovereign AI for
National and Cyber Security.

An
Architect of India&#039;s Digital Defence

Tarun
Wig&#039;s recognition was not ceremonial. It was earned over fifteen years of
relentless conviction that India must control its own technological destiny.

Since
the company&#039;s founding, Innefu Labs has focused on solving real problems faced
by national security organisations, not chasing trends but developing AI-driven
platforms in-house, tailored to Indian challenges, from counterterrorism and
border security to financial fraud detection, with data sovereignty and
compliance standards that exceed client benchmarks.

Under
Wig&#039;s leadership, Innefu Labs has emerged as one of India&#039;s foremost innovators
in AI-driven Intelligence Fusion Centre, Predictive Policing, OSINT,
Cybersecurity, Digital Forensics with a clientele spanning Defence Agencies,
Intelligence bodies, Law Enforcement Agencies, Paramilitary Forces, and several
Fortune 500 companies.

What
distinguishes Innefu Labs&#039; approach, and what makes Tarun Wig&#039;s vision
genuinely strategic rather than merely commercial, is an uncompromising
architecture of sovereignty. The company&#039;s platforms are designed to operate in
fully air-gapped environments with zero internet dependency, ensuring that
India&#039;s most sensitive intelligence data never leaves sovereign infrastructure.
In an era where even large language models are being deployed for
mission-critical decision-making, Innefu Labs has taken the unprecedented step
of building on-premise, offline AI systems that deliver the analytical power of
modern AI entirely within secure, classified frameworks. No cloud, no external servers,
no vulnerability to interception. In a world where intelligence doesn&#039;t fail
for lack of data but for insights that arrive too late, and too unsafely, this
is the architecture that changes the calculus.

This
is not technology imported from Silicon Valley and repurposed for Indian use
cases. This is indigenous intelligence infrastructure, built from the ground
up. A living embodiment of Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Building
a Legacy, Not Just a Business

Tarun
Wig&#039;s entrepreneurial journey is rooted in a moment of recognition that a
strong indigenous product ecosystem was not just commercially viable, but
essential to strengthening India technologically.

Today,
that conviction has scaled into a company with more than 100 installations
across the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia; a de-facto
leader in developing and deploying AI for national and cyber security. And with
recent strategic expansions into the Middle East and growing interest from
across the APAC and MENA regions, Innefu Labs is no longer just India&#039;s answer
to sovereign AI, it is emerging as a global reference model for what indigenous
deep-tech in national security can look like.

The
Drivers of Change felicitation, presented by the Governor of Maharashtra,
crystallises what those who have followed Tarun Wig&#039;s journey have long known:
that here is a leader who understood, long before it became policy, that the
wars of tomorrow will be fought not just on borders but in data streams,
algorithms, and intelligence architectures, and that India needed to be ready
on its own terms.

In
that sense, the award is less a crowning achievement and more a checkpoint. For
Tarun Wig, the mission continues. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/genius30-releases-raijor-raai-mega-survey-data-from-50000-citizens-for-upcoming-assam-polls</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  


 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 

 


GUWAHATI, ASSAM — March 30, 2026 : Genius30,
an independent think-tank and data-analytics group, has officially released the
comprehensive findings of its highly anticipated &quot;Raijor Raai - The
People’s Verdict&quot; pre-poll survey. Leveraging a massive, tech-driven
sample size of over 50,000+ verified respondents across all 126 assembly
constituencies, the extensive data audit projects a decisive mandate for the
BJP-led NDA alliance in the upcoming Assam elections.

 

A Tech-Driven Methodology

Unlike traditional political surveys
that rely on small, manual field reporting, the Raijor Raai project was
executed as a large-scale engineering operation. Spearheaded by a core group of
30 engineers, Genius30 utilized advanced telephonic polling and digital
auditing infrastructure to capture raw, unfiltered sentiment directly from the
grassroots.

 

By scaling the data collection to
over 50,000 citizens across Upper, Lower, and Middle Assam, the team bypassed
standard polling biases to ensure a highly accurate mathematical reflection of
the state&#039;s current political mood. The methodology heavily factored in
shifting demographics, particularly the decisive youth and Gen Z voter blocks
who are increasingly prioritizing economic stability, technological upskilling,
and transparent governance over historical political rhetoric.

 

Key Findings of the Comprehensive Survey:

Seat Projections (126 Seats): The BJP
is projected to emerge as the single largest party, securing between 70 to 79
seats. The Congress follows with a projected 24 to 29 seats. Regional allies
AGP (8-9 seats) and BPF (7-8 seats) maintain crucial holds, pushing the NDA
alliance comfortably past the 64-seat majority mark.

 

Vote Share: The data indicates a
strong consolidation, with the BJP commanding an estimated 40.2% vote share,
and the Congress capturing 36.8%.

 

Chief Ministerial Preference:
Incumbent Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma remains the top choice for the
state&#039;s leadership, securing 37% of the public preference. Gaurav Gogoi of the
Congress emerged as the principal challenger with 25% backing.

 

Top Government Achievements: When
asked to identify the biggest successes of the current government, citizens
overwhelmingly pointed to tangible, on-the-ground progress. Infrastructure and
Road Connectivity took the top spot at 26%, followed closely by Transparent
Govt Employment at 23%. Other key performance indicators included Clearing
Encroachments (18%), Governance (17%), and Ease of Doing Business (16%).

 

&quot;What this data clearly shows is
a fundamental shift in how the Assamese electorate, particularly the younger
generation, is making its choices,&quot; stated Nitesh Pandey, Tech
Entrepreneur and Co-lead of Genius30. &quot;We are seeing a demographic that is
highly focused on practical, day-to-day realities. They are actively backing
narratives built around transparent recruitment, physical infrastructure, and
assertive administrative leadership. This massive 50,000+ dataset confirms that
the mandate is leaning heavily toward data-driven, delivery-focused
governance.&quot;

 

&quot;By treating this statewide
survey as an engineering challenge rather than just a media exercise, we&#039;ve
bypassed the noise to provide an unfiltered, mathematical reality of the ground
situation,&quot; added Rajat Agnihotri, Co-lead of Genius30.

<description><![CDATA[ A growing number of management aspirants are asking
one question early in Class 11 or 12: How is IPMAT different from CUET/CAT?
According to mentors at SuperGrads by Toprankers, the
answer begins with a simple distinction. IPMAT is not just another management
entrance. It is an exam built for students right after school, and that changes
both the academic demand and the preparation style. 

 

For many aspirants, the confusion is understandable.
On the surface, IPMAT, CUET and CAT all appear to belong to the same larger
world of aptitude-based entrances. They involve reasoning, quantitative skills,
English, and test-taking discipline. But the student profile, exam purpose, and
level of maturity expected in each paper are very different. That is why SuperGrads
says students should stop treating IPMAT as a smaller version of CAT or a
management add-on to CUET. 

 

Why IPMAT Sits in a Different Category 

IPMAT is the gateway to the five-year Integrated
Programme in Management. At IIM Indore, the official admission procedure for
the 2026-31 batch says candidates should have passed Class 12 in 2024 or
2025 or be appearing in 2026. The same official programme page says
the sanctioned intake for the domestic IPM batch is 150 seats. 

 

That alone makes IPMAT different from CAT. 

CAT is a postgraduate entrance. The official
CAT 2025 advertisement states that CAT is a prerequisite for admission to postgraduate
and fellow/doctorate programmes of the IIMs and that it is conducted as a computer-based
test in three sessions.  

So, the first answer to the core query is direct. IPMAT
is different from CAT because IPMAT is meant for students after Class 12, while
CAT is meant for graduates aiming for MBA-level admissions. 

 

How IPMAT Is Different from CUET 

The difference between IPMAT and CUET is also
important. 

CUET is a broader undergraduate admissions framework.
NTA says CUET scores are used for admission into undergraduate programmes
across central and participating universities across the country. The CUET
portal also makes it clear that applicants must choose subjects based on the
eligibility conditions of the university and programme they want to
target.  

 

IPMAT is much narrower and more specialised. It is not
a common university entry system. It is a focused aptitude test for
management-oriented integrated programmes. IIM Indore’s official IPM page says
the entrance examination tests aptitude, logical reasoning, and proficiency in
English and Mathematics.  

 

So, the second answer to the core query is equally
clear. IPMAT is different from CUET because CUET is a broad UG admissions
route across many universities and programmes, while IPMAT is a specialised
management entrance for integrated management programmes.  

 

The Preparation Mindset Is Not the Same 

This is where many students make their first serious
mistake. 

Students often assume that because IPMAT is attempted
after school, it must be easier than CAT. Or they assume that because CUET also
serves undergraduate admissions, the same preparation model will work for both.
According to SuperGrads by Toprankers, both assumptions are misleading. 

 

IPMAT preparation is not only about solving aptitude
questions. It is about preparing a younger student for a competitive exam that
demands academic flexibility early. A Class 12 student is balancing board
pressure, career uncertainty, and aptitude-building at the same time. A CAT
aspirant is usually older, more academically mature, and already working within
a graduation or work-experience framework. The preparation pressure is
different even before the first mock test begins. 

 

What the Exam Structure Tells Students 

The structure of the exams also explains why
preparation styles differ. 

IIM Rohtak’s official IPM admission policy for 2026-31
says admission can happen through IPM Aptitude Test 2026 or CLAT 2026,
followed by later stages in the process. IIM Indore separately runs its own IPM
admission route and has announced that IPM AT 2026 will be conducted on May
4, 2026.  

 

That means even within the IPM ecosystem, students
must understand that institutes may use different pathways. This makes
preparation more targeted than general. 

 

By contrast, CAT is a national test held in three
sessions for postgraduate admissions. CUET allows students to choose
subject combinations and apply to different universities based on programme
requirements. These are structurally different ecosystems.  

 

Why IPMAT Needs Earlier Skill Building 

According to SuperGrads, one of the biggest
differences is timing. 

CAT aspirants usually begin serious preparation during
college or after graduation. They often have more time to absorb abstract
quantitative concepts, improve reading discipline, and develop test temperament
over a longer adult learning curve.

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The verbal and quantitative demands may look familiar across exams, but the way students experience them is not the same.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In IPMAT, a student is still transitioning from school-style learning to competitive aptitude-based problem solving. The challenge is not just difficulty. It is adaptability. Students must learn how to read for inference, solve under time pressure, and shift from chapter-based comfort zones to mixed-question uncertainty.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In CAT, the challenge is different. The official nature of the exam itself tells the story. It is designed for postgraduate management entry and draws from a much older candidate pool.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">So, while both exams require quant and verbal ability, <b>IPMAT preparation is more developmental, while CAT preparation is more performance optimised.</b> That is a major difference.</span><span> </span></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Yes, there is overlap in certain skills. Reading comprehension, arithmetic discipline, logical thinking, and mock analysis matter in both spaces. But that does not mean the preparation journey is interchangeable.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">A Class 12 student preparing for IPMAT should not borrow a graduate-level CAT mindset blindly.

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Many aspirants lose months because they prepare for IPMAT as if it were just board-level plus aptitude. Others prepare for it as if it were a mini-CAT.

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The stronger approach is to recognise IPMAT on its own terms. It is an early management entrance with its own pressure points, its own learning curve, and its own rhythm of preparation.</span><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">The Takeaway for Aspirants</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The message from <b>SuperGrads by Toprankers</b> is simple. IPMAT is connected to the larger management entrance ecosystem, but it is not a copy of CUET or CAT.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>

<title>Distil Group&amp;apos;s ₹100 Crore Bet on Skill&amp;Based Higher Education</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

For
years, degrees and marks were considered the ultimate markers of success, but
now the situation is entirely different. Academic scores alone are no longer
sufficient to guarantee employability, and many talented students find
themselves struggling to translate ambition into opportunity.

 

Orchid
University aims to change this reality. Backed by Distil Group&#039;s transformative
vision and a ₹100 crore investment, the university is built around a clear and
powerful belief that education should not be limited to academic excellence;
rather, it should enable economic independence and ethical leadership.

 

Institutions
do not impact only students; they also become engines of regional growth. They
create employment opportunities, encourage local businesses, and bring industry
partnerships into the region. Orchid University is positioned to strengthen
both its campus and the surrounding communities.

 

What Are Skill-Centered Universities

 

For
decades, universities evaluated success through examinations, classroom attendance,
and academic credits. However, in today&#039;s world, knowledge extends far beyond
academic excellence, as the modern workforce demands individuals with
analytical thinking, communication skills, adaptability, and the ability to
solve real-world problems.

 

Skill-based universities are designed to meet these expectations. To
achieve these goals, their learning models focus on the following:

 

●
Industry immersion from the first year 

●
Apprenticeship-integrated degree pathways 

●
Project-based learning 

● Paid
internships and stipends 

●
Real-world exposure alongside academic theory

 

In
this system, the conversation changes. Instead of asking, “What degree do you
hold?”employers increasingly ask, “What can you actually do?”

 

With
the support of Distil Group, Orchid University has fully embraced this shift,
designing its programs to combine industry-aligned learning with the broader
goals of NEP 2020, while remaining firmly rooted in Indian values and cultural
understanding.

 

Understanding Orchid University

 

Orchid
University was envisioned by founders who understand struggle not as an
abstract concept, but as a lived experience. With this perspective, they have
shaped an institution where every student’s ambition is respected and
supported.

 

This
vision has been strengthened through Distil Group&#039;s strategic backing,
including thoughtful infrastructure development, academic innovation, and
long-term planning.

 

At
Orchid University, education goes beyond technical mastery. Students are
encouraged to grow professionally while remaining grounded in ethics, culture,
and responsibility. Distil Group’s ₹100 crore investment is not merely about
constructing classrooms; it is about creating an ecosystem that builds
confidence, independence, and leadership in the next generation.

 

Why Investing in Skills Is Investing in India

 

India
has one of the youngest populations in the world, and this demographic strength
can become a powerful economic engine—but only if the education system equips
young people with the right skills.

 

Distil Group’s investment in a skill-based university contributes
directly to:

 

●
Stronger youth employability 

●
Higher industry productivity 

●
Greater entrepreneurial activity 

●
Long-term economic independence

 

The ₹100 crore investment in Orchid University is directed toward
building a future-ready academic ecosystem that includes:

 

●
Industry-ready laboratories 

●
Technology-enabled learning environments 

●
Global academic collaborations 

●
Student incubation and innovation centres 

●
Employment-integrated academic pathways

 

When
students begin earning while they are still learning, education transforms from
a financial burden into a pathway toward independence.

 

From Capital to Campus Impact

 

Distil
Group has channelled its ₹100 crore investment into initiatives that directly
improve the learning experience and career readiness of students.

 

1.
Learning Spaces That Mirror the Real World At Orchid University, classrooms are
designed to reflect professional environments, making learning more engaging.
Advanced simulation labs, sector-specific training centres, and smart,
technology-enabled classrooms allow students to practice using the same tools
and systems used in industry.

 

This
significantly reduces the gap between theoretical learning and real-world
execution. By the time students graduate, they are already comfortable
operating in professional environments.

 

2.
Industry at the Heart of the Curriculum Orchid’s curriculum is shaped in
collaboration with employers and global experts, supported by more than 800
industry partners and collaborations across 10+ countries.

 

This

<p>In a thoughtfully curated engagement that blended inspiration with practical insight, renowned author, entrepreneur, columnist, and interior design enthusiast Twinkle Khanna engaged with aspiring designers in a dynamic and intellectually stimulating session at NIF Global Mumbai – Andheri Platinum Centre.</p>
<p>The experience was further enriched by an immersive campus walkthrough, where Twinkle Khanna explored curated student design installations across fashion, interiors, and spatial storytelling. A key highlight was “The Design Banter Show,” an interactive student-led segment that sparked candid conversations on design, trends, and personal expression.</p>
<div dir="ltr">As a mentor at NIF Global, Twinkle Khanna shared thought-provoking perspectives drawn from her multidisciplinary journey. Addressing aspiring designers, she emphasized the importance of balancing creativity with functionality, particularly in interior design. “Breaking rules may work in art; Picasso did that brilliantly - but design, especially interiors, must remain functional. It’s not just expression; it’s about how people live,” she remarked.</div>

<br> <br>During an engaging session, she candidly responded to student questions, offering sharp and practical insights. Speaking on home design essentials, she highlighted the need for space and adaptability, adding humorously, “You need space, especially when you have many personalities within yourself.”<br>She also addressed modern design challenges, cautioning against superficial trends. “Designing for Instagram first is a red flag. Luxury without comfort is another. True design must serve the user, not just the lens,” she noted.<br>On professional integrity, Khanna encouraged students to make mindful decisions, even in personal situations. “If a friend isn’t qualified, you don’t hire them. Clarity and honesty matter in this profession,” she said, reinforcing the importance of merit-driven choices.<br><br>Highlighting the evolving creative landscape, she spoke about the growing influence of AI. “We are living in a time where AI is everywhere, but it’s only a tool. Creativity must remain human. Machines don’t have a soul; your authenticity is your greatest strength,” she advised.<br><br>Vivek Gautam, Director, NIF Global Andheri, shared, “It was an honour to host Twinkle Khanna at our campus. Her ability to blend creativity with clarity gave our students invaluable real-world perspectives. At NIF Global, we remain committed to creating such meaningful engagements that prepare our students to become thoughtful and future-ready designers.”<br><br>The visit reinforced NIF Global Andheri - Platinum Centre’s position as a hub of creative excellence, offering students not just academic learning but also access to industry mentors, global exposure, and experiential opportunities that shape the designers of tomorrow.</div>]]> </content:encoded>

<description><![CDATA[ Due to advancements in
the finance industry, today’s professionals must have more technical knowledge
with global credentials and a practical set of skills beyond what is provided
by basic education. Candidates wishing to pursue an investment banking, corporate
finance, risk management or accounting career path will benefit from obtaining
certifications recognised worldwide. 

 

Zell Education provides
prospective finance professionals with structured training and development for
some of the industry’s most popular finance programmes, including CFA, CPA,

different career options. Each of these courses is oriented toward a separate
career path, and Zell provides candidates with industry-specific education and

<description><![CDATA[ The annual car&amp;bike awards were held in Mumbai on Friday, March 13, 2026,
making it the 20th year of the oldest and most credible automotive
awards since inception in 2006. Among the winners, Tata Sierra and TVS Apache
RTX swooped the floor with staggering number of awards, including the car and
bike of the year. The lineup of nominees highlighted an interesting pivot- more
ICE Two wheelers and Electric four wheelers were in the foray with the latter
becoming as mainstream as 3 in 5 top cars of the night. There was, however, no
hatchback or sedan category to be found due to lack of new launches, indicating
how the industry&#039;s focus is shifting.  

The awards
ceremony was held at Taj, The Trees, Mumbai and was a gathering of some of the
most illustrious leaders of the Indian automobile industry, including Mr.
Shailesh Chandra, MD &amp; CEO, Tata Motors Passenger vehicles Ltd and Vimal
Sumbly, Business Head Premium &amp; Head premium Marketing, TVS Motor Company
who collected the trophies for Car of the year and Motorcycle of the Year
respectively. Rakesh Kaul, Chief Distribution Officer – Retail Business, Bajaj
General Insurance also graced the event and facilitated the final trophies and
expressed his pleasure being the title partner for the awards. 

Commenting
on the occasion, Mr. Mohammed Turra – MD &amp; CEO, car&amp;bike said,

remained unchanged: to identify and honour the vehicles that push boundaries.
This year&#039;s winners too represent the pinnacle of tech-forward engineering that
simplifies and enhances the lives of our viewers and readers.&quot; 

The awards

choosing the winners with the expertise of our jurors and a unique scoring
method.” 

The
winners were selected from more than 60 nominations which were put through

<title>Vascular &amp;amp; Endovascular Surgery: The Conditions We Often Overlook</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Do you often ignore leg
pain, swelling, visible veins, or even numbness, assuming it’s just tiredness
or age? In our daily lives, we tend to overlook symptoms that don’t
immediately disrupt us. A little discomfort may seem harmless, but not every
sign is minor, and not every delay is safe.
Dr. K. Athirath Reddy, Consultant Vascular &amp; Endovascular Surgeon at
Malla Reddy Narayana Multispeciality Hospitals, Hyderabad, throws light on
the importance of recognizing early signs of vascular conditions and seeking
timely care.

What Are
Vascular Conditions?

Vascular conditions affect
the arteries and veins responsible for blood circulation. When these blood
vessels are affected, the symptoms may appear simple but can indicate deeper
health concerns. Reduced blood flow or weakened veins rarely cause sudden alarm
and usually progress gradually, often going unnoticed.

Common Signs
You Should Not Ignore

Many symptoms develop gradually and are often dismissed.
Watch out for:

●      
Persistent leg pain, especially while walking

●      
Swelling in the feet or legs

●      
Night cramps

●      
Visible varicose veins

●      
Skin discoloration

●      
Slow-healing wounds

●      
Numbness in the legs

Why Ignoring
Symptoms Can Be Risky

For many individuals, symptoms begin as mild
discomfort. Over time, this creates a habit of neglect. When symptoms become
familiar, they stop raising concern; allowing the condition to progress
silently.

Untreated vascular conditions can:

●      
Affect mobility and daily activities

●      
Delay wound healing

●      
Reduce overall quality of life

●      
Lead to serious complications over time

Despite these risks, awareness remains low, as the
early signs are often subtle and easy to ignore.

Advancements in Treatment

Endovascular surgery has transformed the treatment of
many vascular conditions. These minimally invasive procedures offer:

●      
Faster recovery

●      
Reduced hospital stay

●      
Improved treatment outcomes

Early diagnosis plays a key role in ensuring better
results.

Simple Steps
to Protect Your Vascular Health

●      
Stay physically active

●      
Manage conditions like diabetes and hypertension

●      
Maintain a healthy lifestyle

●      
Go for regular health check-ups

●      
Seek medical attention for persistent symptoms

More importantly, it requires a shift from overlooking
symptoms to actively paying attention to them.

Conclusion

Vascular conditions often develop quietly, but their
impact can be significant if ignored. Recognizing early signs and taking timely
action can help prevent complications and improve long-term health outcomes. At
Malla Reddy Narayana Multispeciality Hospitals, the focus remains on timely
diagnosis, increasing awareness, and providing appropriate intervention.

Not every symptom is harmless.
 Not every delay is without risk.
 What you choose to notice today can
define your health tomorrow.

If you experience persistent leg pain, swelling,
numbness, or any unusual symptoms, schedule a consultation at Malla Reddy
Narayana Multispeciality Hospitals for expert vascular care and timely
intervention.

<title>Endometriosis: The Silent Condition We Learn to Ignore</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/endometriosis-the-silent-condition-we-learn-to-ignore</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/endometriosis-the-silent-condition-we-learn-to-ignore</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Have you ever dismissed
severe period pain as something you simply have to live with? In today’s
fast-paced lifestyle, we often celebrate productivity, normalize discomfort,
and dismiss pain as routine. A busy life becomes a priority, and anything that
interrupts it, especially menstrual pain is pushed aside. But not all pain is
normal.

Dr. Divya Nallaparaju, Consultant
Gynecologist at Malla Reddy Narayana Multispeciality Hospitals, Hyderabad, throws light on
endometriosis and why early recognition is essential for better health
outcomes.

What Is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to
the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, commonly affecting the ovaries and
fallopian tubes. What makes it concerning is not just the condition itself, but
how easily it is ignored.

Symptoms That Are Often Overlooked

The signs are not always obvious and are frequently
ignored or self-managed without proper evaluation:

·         Severe menstrual cramps

·         Chronic pelvic pain

·         Heavy menstrual bleeding

·         Fatigue

·         Discomfort during daily activities

·         Difficulty in conceiving

Why It Often Goes Undiagnosed

For many
women, it begins early. Painful periods are accepted as part of life, and
severe cramps are tolerated because they are common. Over time:

·         Pain becomes familiar and is ignored

·         Symptoms are adjusted to rather than treated

·         Medical consultation is delayed

This creates a dangerous pattern where endometriosis
silently progresses.

Impact Beyond Physical Health

Endometriosis
affects more than just physical health. It can influence:

·         Emotional well-being

·         Personal relationships

·         Daily productivity

·         Overall quality of life

Many women adjust their routines around the pain
instead of addressing the root cause.

Importance of Early Diagnosis &amp;
Care

Awareness is the first step toward better health.
Unusual or severe menstrual symptoms should not be ignored.

·         Timely consultation helps in early detection

·         Clinical evaluation and necessary screenings confirm
diagnosis

·         Early diagnosis leads to better management and
improved outcomes

 

Managing
Endometriosis Effectively

·         Medical or surgical treatment based on individual
needs

·         Regular follow-ups

·         Stress management and a balanced lifestyle

·         Adequate rest and self-care

More importantly, it requires a shift from enduring
pain to understanding it.

Conclusion

Endometriosis is often silently endured rather than
addressed, leading to delays in diagnosis and care. Recognizing that severe or
unusual menstrual pain is not normal, along with prioritizing regular
gynecological check-ups instead of treating them as an afterthought, can
significantly improve long-term health and quality of life. 

At Malla Reddy Narayana Multispeciality Hospitals, the
focus is on encouraging awareness, timely diagnosis, and informed health
decisions. If you or someone close to you experiences severe menstrual pain or
related symptoms, schedule a consultation at Malla Reddy Narayana
Multispeciality Hospitals for expert gynecological care and guidance.

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, we often celebrate productivity, normalize discomfort, and dismiss pain as routine. A busy life becomes a priority, and anything that interrupts it, especially menstrual pain is pushed aside. But not all pain is normal.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, commonly affecting the ovaries and fallopian tubes. What makes it concerning is not just the condition itself, but how easily it is ignored.</span></p>

<title>Lubrizol and The Apprentice Project Bring 21st Century Skills to Students in Navi Mumbai and Pune</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/lubrizol-and-the-apprentice-project-bring-21st-century-skills-to-students-in-navi-mumbai-and-pune</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Lubrizol, in partnership with The Apprentice Project (TAP), a non-profit
working to build 21st century skills among students in government schools,
recently conducted a hands-on learning event at Navi Mumbai Municipal
Corporation School No. 46, Gothivali, Ghansoli. The event brought together 8
Lubrizol employees and 50 students for a day of collaborative, activity-based
learning focused on problem solving and creativity.

A Partnership
Built on Shared Purpose

The Apprentice
Project (TAP), an initiative of MentorMe Foundation, works with students in
grades 4-12 in government and low income schools, building 21st century skills
like problem solving, critical thinking, and financial literacy. At the heart
of TAP&#039;s model is TAP Buddy, a WhatsApp-based learning platform, which is
integrated into school systems. By combining technology and a project-based
approach to learning, TAP enables 21st century skill development across
classrooms and school systems.

Lubrizol is a
science-based company leveraging specialty chemistry to provide sustainable
solutions that advance mobility, promote well-being, and enrich modern living.
Lubrizol has always firmly believed in creating meaningful impact through its
community investments (partnerships with non-profits and volunteering
activities) conducted across the globe. In India, this conviction is reflected
in the company&#039;s CSR commitment largely towards education-prioritising STEM
learning, foundational literacy, and vocational skilling for the communities.

Together, the
Lubrizol-TAP partnership supports students across government schools in Navi
Mumbai and Pune, united by a shared belief in the power of education to
transform lives.

The Partnership
in Action

The employee
engagement event at NMMC School No. 46 was structured around the same learning
approach that students experience every week through TAP Buddy. The students
and the volunteers worked through two activities in small groups, one rooted in
science and the other in art.

The science
activity challenged students to build a functional pedal bin, a model that
works on the same lever mechanism as a standard dustbin. The activity opened up
questions between children and volunteers about how everyday objects are
engineered, why certain materials work and others don’t, and how to
troubleshoot when a design does not work as expected. Lubrizol volunteers
worked through these questions with the students, guiding the students to think
critically and arrive at the solution.

The arts activity
focused on traditional Gond art, a folk artform that originates from the tribal
communities of Central India. Students designed and painted their own coasters,
learning about one of India&#039;s most distinctive cultural traditions while
practising focus, composition, and creative decision-making. The coasters, like
the pedal bins, were immediately useful, allowing students to see the value in
what they created.

This reflects
TAP’s approach to learning, where students build conceptual understanding by
creating and applying ideas. Skills such as problem solving, critical thinking
and creativity emerge naturally through this process.

Where Learning
Meets Impact

As their projects
came to life, students and volunteers gathered to present what they had built.
They spoke about the choices behind their projects; some shared how they wanted
to recreate the pedal bin at home, while others held up their coasters proudly.

For Lubrizol
volunteers, the experience offered something that reports and presentations
cannot capture:  a firsthand understanding of how students learn through
TAP&#039;s model.

&quot;When we
were in school,  we weren&#039;t this active and confident. I see these
students now and it feels so good to see that they are so confident and smart.
I am happy to see the government schools landscape is changing,&quot; said a
Lubrizol volunteer.

For the school,
the event was equally significant. Anuja Mirkute, Headmistress of
NMMC School No. 46, said, &quot;A big thank you to TAP and Lubrizol for
bringing this opportunity to us. We don&#039;t have a playground, so we try to keep
the students engaged in such activities, and they are performing really well. I
hope  that our students get many more opportunities like this.&quot;

Looking Ahead

As TAP continues
to impact more children and more schools each year, partnerships with funders
play a critical role in strengthening both access and quality. Lubrizol’s
support, as both a funder and an active participant, enables students to not
only build skills, but also gain exposure to real world interactions that shape
confidence and aspiration.

Sustainable
impact in education is built through consistent presence, programming that is
rooted in the realities of the system, and holistic partnerships. The
collaboration between Lubrizol and TAP is built on this ethos.

<title>A New Beginning for Ms. Venkata Lakshmi: How a Subvastus Approach as a Minimally Invasive Alternative in Total Knee Replacement Changed the Recovery Journey</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/a-new-beginning-for-ms-venkata-lakshmi-how-a-subvastus-approach-as-a-minimally-invasive-alternative-in-total-knee-replacement-changed-the-recovery-journey</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/a-new-beginning-for-ms-venkata-lakshmi-how-a-subvastus-approach-as-a-minimally-invasive-alternative-in-total-knee-replacement-changed-the-recovery-journey</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ HYDERABAD : When 59-year-old Ms. Venkata Lakshmi was told she
needed a Total Knee Replacement (TKR), her primary concern wasn&#039;t just the
surgery itself, but the months of rehabilitation and dependence on others that
typically follow. However, a specialized procedure performed at STAR Hospitals,
Nanakramguda, has offered a different path to healing.

 

By utilizing the Subvastus Approach - a refined, minimally
invasive technique – Dr. Shashi Kanth G, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
at STAR Hospitals Nanakramguda, was able to replace the knee without the
traditional requirement of cutting through the thigh muscle (quadriceps). This
preservation of the muscle structure is the key to a significantly faster and
less painful recovery.

 

Redefining the Path to Independence

In a conventional knee replacement, the recovery process is
often long, typically requiring at least 45 days of intensive physiotherapy to
regain muscle function. For many patients, this means a long period of relying
on family members for daily tasks.

The Subvastus Approach changes this timeline. Because the quadriceps
muscles of the leg remain intact during surgery, Ms. Venkata Lakshmi’s recovery
time was reduced to just 10 days, with no need for formal, long-term
physiotherapy. This approach offers a practical solution for patients, as there
are no additional surgical costs and a significant reduction in post-operative
expenses.



In Their Own Words

For the patient and his family, the clinical success of the
surgery translated into an immediate emotional relief.

Ms. Venkata Lakshmi’s shared her experience:

&quot;Only someone who is experiencing this can tell the
difference. The surgery was quick, I felt immediate relief, and now I am
independent.&quot;

 

Her family expressed their gratitude:

&quot;We would like to thank Dr. Shashi Kanth G &amp; STAR
Hospitals. We had heard about knee replacement surgery and the 45-day recovery
with physiotherapy; when Dr. Shashi Kanth G explained this particular surgery,
we were not sure. Now, we are witnessing the recovery firsthand.&quot;

 

The Surgeon’s Perspective

For Dr. Shashi Kanth G, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic
Surgeon at STAR Hospitals Nanakramguda - the success of the procedure is
measured by the quality of life returned to the patient. 

&quot;There is a satisfaction which a surgeon gets after
being able to make this positive impact to a life,&quot; said Dr. Shashi Kanth

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2BJ_BurbeadlxPFs13mYoipoJjqbOC8T5bVrPCHnyUslkUqfaDXvcl8Ytk8gu_hF_Xf06s5S5GzPdQSYpl4500nTQiOP-BzB6aPuB5NAIZpjjRvXk3hdHlDZRA0gsnfKVGzHL-rNJ7Nx859pk9TD1nxNu34yzg2A7y30_9yw2Ax2goZUJLhzwKwNZ3GH2/s1280/resized-image-1280x720%20-%202026-03-28T121052.613.jpeg" imageanchor="1"></a></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>HYDERABAD : </b>When 59-year-old Ms. Venkata Lakshmi was told she needed a Total Knee Replacement (TKR), her primary concern wasn't just the surgery itself, but the months of rehabilitation and dependence on others that typically follow. However, a specialized procedure performed at STAR Hospitals, Nanakramguda, has offered a different path to healing.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By utilizing the Subvastus Approach - a refined, minimally invasive technique – Dr. Shashi Kanth G, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at STAR Hospitals Nanakramguda, was able to replace the knee without the traditional requirement of cutting through the thigh muscle (quadriceps). This preservation of the muscle structure is the key to a significantly faster and less painful recovery.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Redefining the Path to Independence</b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In a conventional knee replacement, the recovery process is often long, typically requiring at least 45 days of intensive physiotherapy to regain muscle function. For many patients, this means a long period of relying on family members for daily tasks.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Subvastus Approach changes this timeline. Because the quadriceps muscles of the leg remain intact during surgery, Ms. Venkata Lakshmi’s recovery time was reduced to just 10 days, with no need for formal, long-term physiotherapy. This approach offers a practical solution for patients, as there are no additional surgical costs and a significant reduction in post-operative expenses.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>In Their Own Words</b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the patient and his family, the clinical success of the surgery translated into an immediate emotional relief.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ms. Venkata Lakshmi’s shared her experience:</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Only someone who is experiencing this can tell the difference. The surgery was quick, I felt immediate relief, and now I am independent."</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Her family expressed their gratitude:</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"We would like to thank Dr. Shashi Kanth G &amp; STAR Hospitals. We had heard about knee replacement surgery and the 45-day recovery with physiotherapy; when Dr. Shashi Kanth G explained this particular surgery, we were not sure. Now, we are witnessing the recovery firsthand."</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Surgeon’s Perspective</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For Dr. Shashi Kanth G, Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at STAR Hospitals Nanakramguda - the success of the procedure is measured by the quality of life returned to the patient.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"There is a satisfaction which a surgeon gets after being able to make this positive impact to a life," said Dr. Shashi Kanth G. "Seeing a patient return to their routine so quickly and independently is the most rewarding part of this work."</p>

<description><![CDATA[ Reaffirming
Its Commitment to Powering a Non- Stop India

●       
Builds on a high-impact debut season to
amplify brand visibility and bring alive the ‘Powering a Non-Stop India’
narrative across one of India’s most influential sporting platforms.

Mumbai,
27th March 2026 : Lauritz Knudsen Electrical and Automation, a
leader in India’s electrical and automation space, has renewed and strengthened
its association with Mumbai Indians for a second year—deepening a partnership
defined by shared values of performance, resilience and unwavering consistency.

After
a powerful debut season, this renewed collaboration marks the next chapter in
Lauritz Knudsen’s brand journey, accelerating its visibility and relevance
across the country. By continuing with one of the world’s most followed cricket
franchises, Lauritz Knudsen reinforces its commitment to a platform that
embodies energy, ambition and sustained excellence - while further amplifying
its mission of “Powering a Non-Stop India”.

The
first year of the partnership delivered strong momentum, with high visibility
and growing consumer engagement. In year two, the association is poised to
drive deeper salience and create a stronger emotional connect with audiences
through a high attention, culturally resonant, and high impact sporting
ecosystem.

Throughout
the season, Lauritz Knudsen will remain prominently visible across the entire
Mumbai Indians ecosystem — including centre-placement on the team jersey,
comprehensive digital presence, and fan-focused engagement touchpoints. This
year, the partnership will be further elevated through new high-impact
initiatives and on-ground integrations.

Deepak
Sharma, Zone President, Greater India, said,
“Cricket holds a unique place in India, bringing people together at scale, and
this association allows us to connect our purpose with a wider national
sentiment. As we continue to support India’s growth journey, such sporting
platforms play an important role in reinforcing our commitment.”

Naresh
Kumar, COO, Lauritz Knudsen Electrical and Automation, said,
“Over the last year, our partnership with Mumbai Indians has taken Lauritz
Knudsen to millions of consumers through a platform that stands for energy,
excellence and consistency. More importantly, it unites two brands with a
shared commitment to performance, resilience, ambition and excellence. As we
continue scaling our presence across India, this association remains central to
bringing our Powering India Non Stop promise to life in a meaningful and
relevant way.”

Rajat
Abbi, Vice President, Marketing, added,
“This second year is critical—it builds on a strong foundation and elevates the
partnership to the next level. Powering a Non – Stop India comes alive
authentically and powerfully through an association like this, both on and off
the field.”

<title>Historic Maha Chandi Homa in Mumbai by Antar Yog Foundation Marks a Powerful Beginning of Yug Parivartan</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
March 27, 2026 : At
a time when disturbing incidents against women, ranging from harassment and
assault to shocking acts of violence, are making headlines almost every day, a
powerful spiritual response has emerged from Antar Yog Foundation, Mumbai. A
Maha Chandi Homa was organised on March 21 and 22 at its Gurukul in Fort,
Mumbai, under the guidance of Brahmarshi Acharya Upendra Ji. Thousands are
calling this event the beginning of a historic “Yug Parivartan” for our
country, Bharat.

This
was not just a ritual. It was a massive, collective spiritual movement
dedicated to Rashtra Kalyan, Dharma Raksha, and the removal of negative and
destructive tendencies from society.

What
makes this even more significant is that this rare and powerful vidhi,
described in the Upanishads and ancient scriptures, is almost never performed
in today’s time. It is believed that only a realised spiritual guru, free from
selfish motives and filled with unconditional love for the world, can conduct
such a sadhana in its true form.

At
the heart of this initiative lies a bold and urgent question raised by Acharya
Ji:
 “Can Bharat truly become a Vishwa Guru
if its women are not respected and worshipped as embodiments of Shakti?”

The
Maha Chandi Homa was performed with the clear intent to counter rising negative
tendencies such as violence against women, exploitation, and harmful mindsets
that are weakening the moral fabric of society. Through powerful chants and
disciplined sadhana, thousands of participants joined in spreading positive
spiritual vibrations aimed at cleansing collective consciousness.

Acharya
Ji highlighted that the feminine energy of the nation is deeply disturbed. He
emphasised that unless society begins to see women as divine, rather than as
objects, real change cannot happen. This Homa aimed to awaken the inner Durga
in every woman and inspire a deep transformation in societal thinking.

The
event also included Mahasaraswati Sadhana and Homa to re-establish India’s
ancient, character-building Gurukul education system, and Mahalakshmi Sadhana
and Homa to spread the knowledge of Shree Vidya, the ancient science of
attracting prosperity. Together, these efforts envision a Bharat that is both
spiritually and economically strong.

Antar
Yog Foundation has now announced a nationwide series of Maha Chandi Homas,
inviting people from all walks of life to participate in building a healthy,
wealthy, and righteous Bharat, where men and women stand equal and dignity
becomes the foundation of society. Acharya Ji stated that the impact of this
Maha Chandi Homa series will become visible in the coming times. He explained
that society will gradually witness a shift, where today’s headlines filled
with adharma will begin to decline, and in their place, stories will emerge of
women standing strong, confronting injustice, and emerging victorious over
adharmic forces. This transformation, he said, will be a direct result of the
powerful spiritual vibrations generated through these sacred sadhanas.

Acharya
Ji also extended an open invitation to key stakeholders across the nation,
including politicians, policymakers, defence personnel, bureaucrats, leaders,
celebrities, influencers, educators, as well as institutions such as schools,
colleges, coaching centres, spiritual organisations, corporate bodies, entrepreneurial
communities, youth groups, and social institutions. He encouraged every section
of society to connect with Antar Yog Foundation and actively contribute towards
building a more conscious, strong, and awakened Bharat.

Acharya
Upendra Ji has urged everyone, especially women, to be a part of this movement.

This
is not just an event.
 It is a call to every Bharatiya.
 If you truly love your motherland, this
is your moment to be a part of the change.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Mumbai, March 27, 2026 : </span></b><span lang="EN">At a time when disturbing incidents against women, ranging from harassment and assault to shocking acts of violence, are making headlines almost every day, a powerful spiritual response has emerged from Antar Yog Foundation, Mumbai. A Maha Chandi Homa was organised on March 21 and 22 at its Gurukul in Fort, Mumbai, under the guidance of Brahmarshi Acharya Upendra Ji. Thousands are calling this event the beginning of a historic “Yug Parivartan” for our country, Bharat.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This was not just a ritual. It was a massive, collective spiritual movement dedicated to Rashtra Kalyan, Dharma Raksha, and the removal of negative and destructive tendencies from society.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">What makes this even more significant is that this rare and powerful vidhi, described in the Upanishads and ancient scriptures, is almost never performed in today’s time. It is believed that only a realised spiritual guru, free from selfish motives and filled with unconditional love for the world, can conduct such a sadhana in its true form.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">At the heart of this initiative lies a bold and urgent question raised by Acharya Ji:<br><span> </span>“Can Bharat truly become a Vishwa Guru if its women are not respected and worshipped as embodiments of Shakti?”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The Maha Chandi Homa was performed with the clear intent to counter rising negative tendencies such as violence against women, exploitation, and harmful mindsets that are weakening the moral fabric of society. Through powerful chants and disciplined sadhana, thousands of participants joined in spreading positive spiritual vibrations aimed at cleansing collective consciousness.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Acharya Ji highlighted that the feminine energy of the nation is deeply disturbed. He emphasised that unless society begins to see women as divine, rather than as objects, real change cannot happen. This Homa aimed to awaken the inner Durga in every woman and inspire a deep transformation in societal thinking.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The event also included Mahasaraswati Sadhana and Homa to re-establish India’s ancient, character-building Gurukul education system, and Mahalakshmi Sadhana and Homa to spread the knowledge of Shree Vidya, the ancient science of attracting prosperity. Together, these efforts envision a Bharat that is both spiritually and economically strong.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Antar Yog Foundation has now announced a nationwide series of Maha Chandi Homas, inviting people from all walks of life to participate in building a healthy, wealthy, and righteous Bharat, where men and women stand equal and dignity becomes the foundation of society. Acharya Ji stated that the impact of this Maha Chandi Homa series will become visible in the coming times. He explained that society will gradually witness a shift, where today’s headlines filled with adharma will begin to decline, and in their place, stories will emerge of women standing strong, confronting injustice, and emerging victorious over adharmic forces. This transformation, he said, will be a direct result of the powerful spiritual vibrations generated through these sacred sadhanas.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Acharya Ji also extended an open invitation to key stakeholders across the nation, including politicians, policymakers, defence personnel, bureaucrats, leaders, celebrities, influencers, educators, as well as institutions such as schools, colleges, coaching centres, spiritual organisations, corporate bodies, entrepreneurial communities, youth groups, and social institutions. He encouraged every section of society to connect with Antar Yog Foundation and actively contribute towards building a more conscious, strong, and awakened Bharat.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Acharya Upendra Ji has urged everyone, especially women, to be a part of this movement.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This is not just an event.<br><span> </span>It is a call to every Bharatiya.<br><span> </span>If you truly love your motherland, this is your moment to be a part of the change.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Jos Alukkas, a trusted name in quality, innovation, and trendy
jewellery in India, has today announced the launch of Augmented Reality (AR)
experience on its website, developed in partnership with mirrAR, allowing
customers to virtually try on jewellery from their smart devices.

The new AR feature enables customers to view and try necklaces,
earrings, bangles, and rings, etc using the device camera and bringing in an
added layer of confidence to online jewellery shopping. By blending advanced AR
technology with traditional jewellery craftsmanship, the brand aims to redefine
the online shopping experience for customers across India and globally.

“Jewellery is deeply personal, and customers often want to see how a
piece looks on them before making a purchase. With this new AR feature, we are
bringing the showroom experience directly to our customers’ screens. It
reflects our continued efforts to align traditional retail strengths with
evolving digital expectations”, said John Alukkas, Managing Director, Jos Alukkas.

the ‘Virtual Try-On’ option and see the jewellery appear on them through their
device camera. The feature works seamlessly across most modern smartphones and
desktops without requiring any additional downloads.

AR not only offers a convenient online shopping experience, it allows
customers to feel confident with their purchase decisions, ultimately
increasing conversion rates while reducing returns. The feature also appeals to
younger, tech-oriented customers further reinforcing the brand’s efforts to
expand its reach to a wider and more digitally connected audience.

AR technology to the jewellery industry. This solution bridges the gap between
physical and digital retail, helping customers shop with confidence online,”

<description><![CDATA[ A Bangalore-based turnkey construction firm, founded and led by
Vinod Ranjan, now ranks among the city’s top 5 home construction companies in
2026. Backed by 15+ years of hands-on experience, it has grown on a simple
promise: earning client trust and delivering projects on time.

When Vinod Ranjan started Vinra
Construction over 15 years ago, the pitch was straightforward: build homes
the way you’d want your own built having no corners cut, no timelines missed,
no surprises on the bill. What began as a small residential construction
practice has since grown into one of Bangalore’s recognised names in
independent home and villa construction, completing projects across the city’s
key residential zones.

“We’ve built our reputation one home at a time,” said Vinod Ranjan,
Founder and Managing Director at Vinra Construction. “Every project is
personal, families trust us with something they’ve worked towards for years.
That responsibility never gets old for us. Even today, we still treat each
build the same way and with the same accountability we’d want if it were our
own home.”

What 15
Years of Experience Looks Like on the Ground

The company has seen material costs spike without warning, watched
regulations change mid-project, and figured out what it actually takes to build
in different parts of the city. 

That experience is what makes the turnkey model work, which is one
team, start to finish, so nothing falls through the gap between contractors.

“Anyone can promise quality,” Vinod said. “We back it with a 10-year
warranty on every home we build, and we can do that because we&#039;re not handing
your project off to some external contractor and hoping for the best. Our
architects, site engineers, project managers, and designers are all in-house.
They&#039;ve built together, they know our standards, and we run over 500 quality
checks through the course of a build. That&#039;s not a marketing number. It&#039;s how
we actually work.”

He&#039;s clear about what makes the warranty meaningful in Bangalore&#039;s
construction market. A lot of companies offer similar things on paper. Many of
them won&#039;t be around in ten years to honour it. Vinra has been. That&#039;s the
difference.

Karnataka
Icon Awards 2025–26 and Industry Standing

Vinra Construction’s work in Bangalore’s residential construction
space was recognised at the Karnataka Icon Awards 2025–26, an honour that
acknowledges contributions to the state’s construction and infrastructure
ecosystem. The company’s inclusion among Bangalore’s top 5 home construction
companies in 2026 reflects a broader market recognition of its consistent
project standards.

In a city where dozens of construction firms operate but far fewer
complete what they promise on time, Vinra’s track record of project completion
and client referrals has become its most credible credential.

A
Business Built on Referrals

A significant share of Vinra
Construction’s new projects come through word-of-mouth referrals from past
clients, and that matters more than any ranking. What homeowners mention most
when referring Vinra is simple: the team showed up when scheduled, problems
were raised before they escalated, and the final invoice didn’t stray far from
the original estimate.

These are the core operational principles the company has maintained
across its 15+ years:

●      
Structured project timelines
with milestone-based tracking at the outset.

●      
Detailed cost estimates with
full transparency.

●      
Dedicated site supervisors for
every project, with regular client check-ins.

●      
In-house procurement of
materials to maintain quality control and reduce supply chain delays.

●      
Post-handover support for
snagging and minor corrections within the agreed warranty period.

The Path
Ahead

As Bangalore
continues to grow into areas like Devanahalli, Sarjapur Road, and Tumkur Road,
builders who combine reliability with transparency are becoming the ones
clients trust.

Vinra is responding
to that shift by introducing digital project management tools so clients can
easily keep track of progress, approvals, and material schedules, without the
usual back-and-forth or having to chase updates, making it a tech-enabled
construction company.

Getting recognised
among Bangalore&#039;s top 5 home construction companies in 2026 means something to
the team at Vinra, but Vinod is clear about what actually drives the work. &#039;The
ranking is a reflection of the projects we&#039;ve delivered and the clients who
trusted us. The next phase of growth will follow the same principle. Bigger
doesn&#039;t mean better unless the quality keeps up,&#039; he said.

<title>London Kids Preschool Expands to Vadodara with New Centre in Shakti Nagar</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Growing parental awareness and policy support are driving demand
for structured early childhood education in emerging urban pockets like Shakti
Nagar.

Early
childhood education in India is increasingly being recognized as a foundational
stage that shapes a child’s long-term learning ability, behavior, and social
development. Over the past decade, what was once seen as optional or informal
care has gradually evolved into a structured, curriculum-driven phase of
education. This transition is no longer limited to metro cities and is now
becoming visible in developing urban areas such as Vadodara.

The
recent expansion of London Kids Preschool with a
new center in Shakti Nagar, under the ownership of Jigna Rawal, reflects this growing demand for organized preschool
education in local communities. While new preschool openings are not uncommon,
their presence in emerging neighborhoods signals a deeper shift in how parents
approach early learning.

Early
childhood education refers to the learning and development phase for children
between the ages of 1.5 and 6 years. This stage focuses on building cognitive
abilities, communication skills, emotional intelligence, and physical
coordination. Research consistently shows that a significant portion of brain
development occurs during these formative years, making structured early
education a critical part of a child’s growth.

In
India, the importance of this stage has been further reinforced by the National
Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The policy emphasizes Early Childhood Care and
Education (ECCE) as the foundation of the entire schooling system. It
encourages activity-based, play-driven, and experiential learning methods that
help children understand concepts rather than memorize them.

Vadodara,
known for its educational institutions and cultural heritage, is now witnessing
a shift in parental expectations at the preschool level. Families are becoming
more informed and are actively researching curriculum frameworks, teaching
methods, and school environments before enrolling their children. This growing
awareness is particularly evident in residential localities like Shakti Nagar,
where young families are seeking accessible yet structured early learning
options.

One
of the key changes in parental mindset is the move from convenience to quality.
Earlier, proximity to home was often the primary factor in choosing a
preschool. Today, parents are asking more detailed questions about how children
are taught, how progress is tracked, and how schools balance academics with
play. This shift indicates a broader understanding that early education is not
just preparation for primary school but a phase that shapes lifelong learning
habits.

“Structured early education is no longer optional; it is becoming
a core foundation for how children develop confidence, curiosity, and lifelong
learning ability in their earliest years.”
— Vikas Singh, Co-founder, London Kids Preschool

A
structured preschool environment typically includes a planned curriculum,
trained educators, and a mix of guided and exploratory activities. These may
involve storytelling, phonics, basic numeracy, creative arts, and social
interaction. The goal is not academic pressure but developmental readiness—helping
children build confidence, curiosity, and communication skills.

The
presence of organized preschool centers in areas like Shakti Nagar reflects a
response to these evolving expectations. Rather than being limited to central
city zones, such institutions are gradually expanding into neighborhoods where
demand is rising but access has been limited. This localized approach makes
structured early education more accessible to families without requiring long
commutes or relocation.

The
new center in Vadodara is an example of this trend. By entering a developing
locality, it highlights how preschool education is becoming more decentralized
and community-focused. At the same time, it contributes to raising awareness
about the importance of early learning in areas where such conversations are
still growing.

Another
factor influencing this shift is the changing family structure in urban India.
With more nuclear families and working parents, children often have fewer
opportunities for peer interaction at home. Preschools, therefore, play an
important role in social development by providing a space where children can
learn to communicate, collaborate, and adapt to group settings.

Industry
observers suggest that the preschool sector in India is likely to continue its
steady growth, supported by rising incomes, urban expansion, and increasing
educational awareness. However, this growth is also expected to bring greater
accountability. Parents are becoming more selective, and there is a rising
expectation for transparency in curriculum, safety standards, and teacher
training.

In
this context, the expansion of institution ]]></description>

<title>Ayurveda for Diabetes: What the Science Actually Says</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Diabetes has become one of the fastest-growing lifestyle health
challenges worldwide, with India witnessing a sharp rise in cases across urban
and semi-urban populations. Millions of individuals continue to depend on
long-term medication or insulin therapy to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
While these approaches are essential for glycaemic control, they often focus on
symptom management rather than addressing deeper metabolic dysfunction.

 

As healthcare awareness evolves, increasing attention is being given
to structured approaches that support long-term metabolic correction. This
shift has strengthened interest in integrative care models, including
Ayurveda-based strategies designed to reverse diabetes naturally. When
implemented through a medically supervised diabetes reversal program, such
approaches aim to improve insulin function, restore metabolic balance, and
enhance overall physiological resilience.

 

Understanding Diabetes 

From a modern clinical perspective, Type 2 diabetes is recognised as a
complex metabolic disorder driven by multiple interconnected factors. Insulin
resistance is considered a primary contributor, occurring when the body’s cells
fail to respond effectively to insulin. Over time, pancreatic beta-cell
performance may decline, resulting in reduced insulin production and increased
reliance on pharmacological therapy. Chronic disturbances in fat metabolism and
energy utilisation further accelerate disease progression.

 

Conventional treatment strategies primarily focus on lowering blood
sugar through medication or insulin therapy. Although effective in the short
term, these interventions may not fully correct the underlying metabolic
imbalance responsible for long-term disease persistence. This has led to
growing interest in integrative models within type 2 diabetes reversal, where
healthcare providers are exploring approaches that address both glucose control
and systemic metabolic restoration.

 

Ayurveda interprets diabetes as a broader physiological imbalance
affecting digestion, metabolism, and tissue nourishment. Traditionally
described under Prameha and Madhumeha, the condition is viewed
not merely as elevated blood sugar but as a manifestation of deeper internal
dysregulation. Addressing these root causes is therefore considered essential
for achieving sustainable health outcomes.

 

How Ayurveda Supports Metabolic Regulation

 

Structured Ayurvedic care focuses on improving metabolic efficiency
and supporting the body’s natural capacity for glucose regulation. When
delivered within supervised treatment frameworks, such interventions may
function as a complementary insulin resistance treatment, particularly for
individuals seeking long-term disease modification.

 

Improving insulin sensitivity remains a central therapeutic objective.
Through personalized nutrition planning, lifestyle regulation, and targeted
herbal support, Ayurvedic approaches aim to enhance cellular responsiveness to
insulin and stabilise blood sugar levels. Supporting pancreatic function is
also important, as persistent metabolic stress can impair insulin secretion
over time.

 

In addition, Ayurvedic strategies often address systemic inflammation
and oxidative stress, both recognised contributors to diabetes progression. By
improving antioxidant activity and normalising energy metabolism, holistic
interventions help promote sustained metabolic stability rather than short-term
symptom relief.

 

Observed Clinical Outcomes

 

Integrative programs combining ayurvedic treatment for diabetes with
disciplined lifestyle practices have reported measurable improvements in
metabolic indicators. Patients frequently experience better fasting and
post-meal glucose control, gradual reduction in HbA1c levels, and improvements
in overall physical wellbeing.

 

Under appropriate medical supervision, some individuals are able to
reduce their dependence on long-term medication as metabolic balance improves.
Enhanced energy levels, healthier weight management, and improved activity
tolerance are also commonly observed. These outcomes highlight the importance
of structured care pathways that focus on correcting underlying dysfunction
rather than solely managing elevated sugar levels.

 

How Guduchi Ayurveda
Delivers Lasting Results

 

Following structured and medically supervised programs, Guduchi
Ayurveda has supported many individuals in achieving sustained improvements in
diabetes reversal. The approach focuses on translating early sugar stabilisation
into long-term metabolic recovery by addressing core physiological imbalances.

 

Personalised dietary planning plays a central role, with meal
strategies aligned to individual metabolic needs to support natural blood sugar

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Diabetes has become one of the fastest-growing lifestyle health challenges worldwide, with India witnessing a sharp rise in cases across urban and semi-urban populations. Millions of individuals continue to depend on long-term medication or insulin therapy to maintain stable blood sugar levels. While these approaches are essential for glycaemic control, they often focus on symptom management rather than addressing deeper metabolic dysfunction.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>As healthcare awareness evolves, increasing attention is being given to structured approaches that support long-term metabolic correction. This shift has strengthened interest in integrative care models, including Ayurveda-based strategies designed to reverse diabetes naturally. When implemented through a medically supervised diabetes reversal program, such approaches aim to improve insulin function, restore metabolic balance, and enhance overall physiological resilience.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Understanding Diabetes </span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>From a modern clinical perspective, Type 2 diabetes is recognised as a complex metabolic disorder driven by multiple interconnected factors. Insulin resistance is considered a primary contributor, occurring when the body’s cells fail to respond effectively to insulin. Over time, pancreatic beta-cell performance may decline, resulting in reduced insulin production and increased reliance on pharmacological therapy. Chronic disturbances in fat metabolism and energy utilisation further accelerate disease progression.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Conventional treatment strategies primarily focus on lowering blood sugar through medication or insulin therapy. Although effective in the short term, these interventions may not fully correct the underlying metabolic imbalance responsible for long-term disease persistence. This has led to growing interest in integrative models within type 2 diabetes reversal, where healthcare providers are exploring approaches that address both glucose control and systemic metabolic restoration.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Ayurveda interprets diabetes as a broader physiological imbalance affecting digestion, metabolism, and tissue nourishment. Traditionally described under <i>Prameha</i> and <i>Madhumeha</i>, the condition is viewed not merely as elevated blood sugar but as a manifestation of deeper internal dysregulation. Addressing these root causes is therefore considered essential for achieving sustainable health outcomes.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>How Ayurveda Supports Metabolic Regulation</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Structured Ayurvedic care focuses on improving metabolic efficiency and supporting the body’s natural capacity for glucose regulation. When delivered within supervised treatment frameworks, such interventions may function as a complementary insulin resistance treatment, particularly for individuals seeking long-term disease modification.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Improving insulin sensitivity remains a central therapeutic objective. Through personalized nutrition planning, lifestyle regulation, and targeted herbal support, Ayurvedic approaches aim to enhance cellular responsiveness to insulin and stabilise blood sugar levels. Supporting pancreatic function is also important, as persistent metabolic stress can impair insulin secretion over time.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>In addition, Ayurvedic strategies often address systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, both recognised contributors to diabetes progression. By improving antioxidant activity and normalising energy metabolism, holistic interventions help promote sustained metabolic stability rather than short-term symptom relief.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Observed Clinical Outcomes</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Integrative programs combining ayurvedic treatment for diabetes with disciplined lifestyle practices have reported measurable improvements in metabolic indicators. Patients frequently experience better fasting and post-meal glucose control, gradual reduction in HbA1c levels, and improvements in overall physical wellbeing.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Under appropriate medical supervision, some individuals are able to reduce their dependence on long-term medication as metabolic balance improves. Enhanced energy levels, healthier weight management, and improved activity tolerance are also commonly observed. These outcomes highlight the importance of structured care pathways that focus on correcting underlying dysfunction rather than solely managing elevated sugar levels.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>How </span></b><a href="https://guduchiayurveda.com/"><span>Guduchi Ayurveda</span></a><b><span> Delivers Lasting Results</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Following structured and medically supervised programs, Guduchi Ayurveda has supported many individuals in achieving sustained improvements in diabetes reversal. The approach focuses on translating early sugar stabilisation into long-term metabolic recovery by addressing core physiological imbalances.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Personalised dietary planning plays a central role, with meal strategies aligned to individual metabolic needs to support natural blood sugar regulation. Lifestyle optimisation is also emphasised, including guidance on sleep quality, stress management, and appropriate physical activity to restore systemic balance.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Targeted therapeutic protocols are designed to support insulin utilisation, reduce inflammatory responses, and enhance metabolic performance. Continuous monitoring and clinical guidance help ensure that improvements in glycaemic control are maintained over time. Many patients exploring structured metabolic care consider specialised centres such as Guduchi Ayurveda among options for the best diabetes clinic in Bangalore, particularly for protocol-driven treatment approaches. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Integrative Care: The Future of Diabetes Reversal</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Healthcare experts increasingly recognise the importance of combining traditional therapeutic knowledge with modern medical science. Modern medicine provides accurate diagnostics, reliable monitoring, and emergency support, while Ayurveda contributes long-term metabolic restoration and lifestyle-driven disease modification.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>When integrated within structured treatment pathways, these approaches enable patients to move beyond short-term glucose control toward more comprehensive health outcomes, including reduced reliance on prolonged medication and improved overall wellbeing.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Final Thought</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The role of Ayurveda in diabetes care is gradually evolving from supportive therapy to structured metabolic intervention. The key consideration today is how effectively it can be applied within scientifically guided and clinically supervised frameworks.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>With personalised nutrition, disciplined lifestyle practices, targeted therapies, and continuous monitoring, individuals can work toward improved metabolic stability and sustained wellbeing. This shift reflects a broader transformation in healthcare — from managing symptoms to restoring underlying physiological balance.</span></p>

<title>Smallest.ai launches Lightning V3, a new text&amp;to&amp;speech model that beats OpenAI, Cartesia, and ElevenLabs on key voice quality benchmarks</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Designed
for real-time use, it combines multilingual speech, voice cloning from seconds
of audio, and conversational-level prosody in a single system

San
Francisco, CA | March 27, 2026 : Smallest.ai, the research-first
Voice AI company building proprietary speech models and production-grade voice
agents, today announced the launch of Lightning V3,
its most advanced text-to-speech (TTS) model for real-time, conversational AI.

In
conversational evaluations, Lightning V3 achieves a 3.89 MOS,
outperforming leading models from OpenAI, Cartesia, and ElevenLabs,
while also leading on intonation (3.33) and prosody (3.07)- two
of the most critical factors for natural, human-like speech. The model combines
this performance with multilingual support, instant voice cloning, and
streaming generation designed for real-world interactions.

Most
TTS models today are still evaluated on complete sentences generated in isolation.
That setup is easier to optimize for, but it doesn’t reflect how voice systems
actually behave in production- where audio is generated in chunks, context is
incomplete, and responses have to adapt as conversations unfold.

Lightning V3 is built for how voice
systems actually run in production- generating speech in chunks, without full
context, and adapting as conversations evolve. It maintains consistency across
turns and adjusts tone and pacing mid-sentence, which is where most systems
break down.

That
same setup allows the model to work across use cases without retraining-  including voice agents, contact centers,
podcasts, audiobooks, dubbing, and interactive applications.

It
supports 15 languages with automatic detection and mid-sentence
switching, and can clone a voice from 5–15 seconds of audio. These
cloned voices tend to sound more natural than preset ones, since they retain
the variations of real speech.

The
model outputs audio at 44.1 kHz, and can be downsampled to 8–24 kHz
for telephony.

is where most voice systems fall apart,” said Sudarshan Kamath,
Founder and CEO, Smallest.ai. “It’s not just about
sounding clear- the voice has to track context, timing, and emotion at the same
time. If it works there, it works everywhere.”

A shift in
how voice quality is measured

The
launch also challenges how voice models are evaluated. Most benchmarks rely on
static outputs- a setup that rarely reflects real usage.

Lightning
V3 is evaluated across these use case specific settings,
measuring how well the voice maintains coherence, responsiveness, and
believability throughout an interaction, in the given context of the
conversation not just within a single utterance. 

Voices
should be designed and judged in context: for whether they fit the persona they
are meant to inhabit, carry the right social signal, and feel believable in the
moment they were built for.

Pricing

Lightning
V3.1 is available on a pay-as-you-go model, with no upfront commitments,
seat licenses, or minimum usage requirements.

Teams
can scale from early prototypes to high-volume deployments across both voice
agents and content generation- with usage-based pricing and non-expiring
credits.

<title>How MMCM is creating Traceable carbon credits from India&amp;apos;s End of Life vehicle circular economy</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/how-mmcm-is-creating-traceable-carbon-credits-from-indias-end-of-life-vehicle-circular-economy</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/how-mmcm-is-creating-traceable-carbon-credits-from-indias-end-of-life-vehicle-circular-economy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For decades, the story of a car
in India did not end where it should have. Once a vehicle reached the end of
its usable life, it quietly disappeared into scrapyards scattered across the
country. Engines were dismantled, metal was cut and sold, and whatever could be
salvaged was traded in local scrap markets. Yet the environmental value of this
process remained invisible.

This creates what many in the industry describe as
the scrappage climate paradox. Vehicle recycling is one of the most powerful
circular economy activities available to the automotive sector, yet until
recently it remained disconnected from climate accounting systems and carbon
markets.

India is entering a phase where its vehicle park is
rapidly aging. Estimates suggest that more than 20 million vehicles are nearing
end of life status, and this number is expected to grow significantly over the
next decade as stricter emission norms and scrappage policies come into force.

Each of these vehicles contains valuable metals
such as steel, aluminium, and copper that can be recycled instead of extracted
again from the earth. Recycling these materials requires far less energy than
producing them from virgin resources, which means significantly lower carbon
emissions.

The challenge has never been
the absence of environmental value. The challenge has been the absence of
traceability. This is where MMCM is
building digital infrastructure that turns vehicle scrappage from a waste
management process into a traceable circular economy system capable of
generating carbon assets.

The
Scrappage Climate Paradox

Vehicle
recycling sits at the intersection of circular economy and emissions reduction.
Each vehicle contains materials that can reenter manufacturing supply chains
instead of being replaced with newly mined resources. When these materials are
recovered and recycled, the resulting emissions avoidance can be quantified in
metric tons of CO₂e.

However,
until recently, the end of a vehicle’s lifecycle effectively disappeared from
formal documentation systems.

Vehicles
entering informal scrappage yards often lost their identity immediately after
intake. Once the Vehicle Identification Number was no longer tracked, the
entire dismantling process became unobservable from an emissions accounting
standpoint.

This
created what industry analysts often describe as a “scrappage climate paradox.”
The environmental benefit existed, but the absence of traceability meant that
emission reductions could not be validated, verified, or registered within
carbon markets.

The
Traceability Gap in Vehicle Recycling

India’s
traditional scrappage ecosystem has historically been fragmented and largely
informal. Many dismantling yards operated without standardized monitoring
protocols, making it difficult to produce the structured documentation required
for emissions verification.

Without
traceability systems, several operational risks emerged.

Hazardous
automotive fluids such as engine oil, transmission fluids, and coolants could
contaminate soil and groundwater when dismantling practices were not properly
documented. High value alloys from vehicle bodies were frequently downgraded
into mixed scrap rather than segregated for efficient industrial reuse.

In
carbon accounting terminology, this situation created “leakage.” Materials
exited the formal industrial supply chain while environmental impacts remained
unreported.

For
carbon markets, the absence of “proof of processing” created a verification
barrier. Carbon credits require validation through approved methodologies,
monitoring protocols, and independent third party auditors known as VVBs.
Without a verifiable data trail linking a specific vehicle to a specific
dismantling process, emission reductions could not be certified.

MMCM’s
Digital Infrastructure for Circular Carbon Assets

To
address this gap, MMCM has developed a digital infrastructure stack designed to
capture operational data across the vehicle scrappage lifecycle.

The
first layer is AutoLoop, a platform used by Registered Vehicle Scrapping
Facilities (RVSFs) to digitize dismantling operations. AutoLoop functions as a
shop floor operating system that manages vehicle intake documentation, VAHAN
blacklist verification, compliance checks, and generation of Form 3
certificates confirming the destruction of a vehicle.

At
the facility level, vehicles and components are tracked through QR coded
tagging systems. Each step in the dismantling workflow generates structured
operational data that can be monitored, reported, and verified.

The
second layer is DigiELV, which facilitates the management of Certificates of
Deposit (CD) that allow vehicle owners to legally transfer and monetize their
CD.

The third layer converts the captured operational
data into a financial climate asset. Through structured monitoring protocols
and verification framework ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Each of these vehicles contains valuable metals such as steel, aluminium, and copper that can be recycled instead of extracted again from the earth. Recycling these materials requires far less energy than producing them from virgin resources, which means significantly lower carbon emissions.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The challenge has never been the absence of environmental value. The challenge has been the absence of traceability. This is where </span><span lang="EN-IN"><a href="https://mmcm.in/"><span>MMCM</span></a></span><span lang="EN-IN"> is building digital infrastructure that turns vehicle scrappage from a waste management process into a traceable circular economy system capable of generating carbon assets.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">The Scrappage Climate Paradox</span></b><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Vehicle recycling sits at the intersection of circular economy and emissions reduction. Each vehicle contains materials that can reenter manufacturing supply chains instead of being replaced with newly mined resources. When these materials are recovered and recycled, the resulting emissions avoidance can be quantified in metric tons of CO</span><span lang="EN-IN">₂</span><span lang="EN-IN">e.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">However, until recently, the end of a vehicle’s lifecycle effectively disappeared from formal documentation systems.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Vehicles entering informal scrappage yards often lost their identity immediately after intake. Once the Vehicle Identification Number was no longer tracked, the entire dismantling process became unobservable from an emissions accounting standpoint.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">This created what industry analysts often describe as a “scrappage climate paradox.” The environmental benefit existed, but the absence of traceability meant that emission reductions could not be validated, verified, or registered within carbon markets.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">The Traceability Gap in Vehicle Recycling</span></b><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">India’s traditional scrappage ecosystem has historically been fragmented and largely informal. Many dismantling yards operated without standardized monitoring protocols, making it difficult to produce the structured documentation required for emissions verification.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Without traceability systems, several operational risks emerged.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Hazardous automotive fluids such as engine oil, transmission fluids, and coolants could contaminate soil and groundwater when dismantling practices were not properly documented. High value alloys from vehicle bodies were frequently downgraded into mixed scrap rather than segregated for efficient industrial reuse.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">In carbon accounting terminology, this situation created “leakage.” Materials exited the formal industrial supply chain while environmental impacts remained unreported.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">For carbon markets, the absence of “proof of processing” created a verification barrier. Carbon credits require validation through approved methodologies, monitoring protocols, and independent third party auditors known as VVBs. Without a verifiable data trail linking a specific vehicle to a specific dismantling process, emission reductions could not be certified.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">MMCM’s Digital Infrastructure for Circular Carbon Assets</span></b><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">To address this gap, MMCM has developed a digital infrastructure stack designed to capture operational data across the vehicle scrappage lifecycle.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The first layer is AutoLoop, a platform used by Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities (RVSFs) to digitize dismantling operations. AutoLoop functions as a shop floor operating system that manages vehicle intake documentation, VAHAN blacklist verification, compliance checks, and generation of Form 3 certificates confirming the destruction of a vehicle.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">At the facility level, vehicles and components are tracked through QR coded tagging systems. Each step in the dismantling workflow generates structured operational data that can be monitored, reported, and verified.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The second layer is DigiELV, which facilitates the management of Certificates of Deposit (CD) that allow vehicle owners to legally transfer and monetize their CD.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The third layer converts the captured operational data into a financial climate asset. Through structured monitoring protocols and verification frameworks, the recycling activity can generate </span><span lang="EN-IN"><a href="https://mmcm.in/elv-carbon-credit/"><span>ELV Carbon credits</span></a></span><span lang="EN-IN">, which represent measurable emission reductions resulting from responsible material recovery.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">To support audit readiness, the system uses a 41 point digital measurement, reporting, and verification framework known as dMRV. Data integrity is reinforced through blockchain infrastructure using the Hedera Guardian network, which maintains tamper resistant documentation records.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">Incentivizing the Scrappage Sector</span></b><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">One of the structural changes introduced by this system is the creation of an incentive layer for the scrappage sector.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Historically, dismantling facilities operated on thin commodity margins derived from scrap metal sales. Environmental performance or emissions reduction was not financially recognized.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">By integrating dismantling data with carbon market methodologies, MMCM enables scrapping facilities to participate in carbon credit generation. When emission reductions are validated and issued through approved registries, a portion of the credit value can be distributed back to the RVSFs responsible for the recycling activity.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Operationally, dismantling facilities are no longer only processing vehicles. They are generating auditable environmental data linked to emissions reductions within global voluntary carbon markets.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">Quantifying the Emissions Impact</span></b><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The environmental impact of ELV processing can be quantified through avoided emissions.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">When steel and aluminium are recycled rather than produced from virgin ore, the energy requirements drop significantly. Recycling steel can reduce energy consumption by up to 60 percent compared with primary production, depending on the industrial process and grid emission factors.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Within MMCM’s methodology framework, approximately 0.6 metric tons of CO</span><span lang="EN-IN">₂</span><span lang="EN-IN">e emissions can be avoided for every metric ton of ELV material processed through verified recycling channels.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">To ensure credibility within international carbon markets, these emission reductions are aligned with methodologies certified by Cercarbono and based on United Nations Clean Development Mechanism protocols.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">These methodologies define the monitoring protocols, additionality requirements, and verification procedures needed for carbon credit issuance.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">Closing the Steel Loop for Automotive OEMs</span></b><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">While scrappage facilities provide the operational supply side of this ecosystem, automotive manufacturers represent the demand side within corporate ESG frameworks.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Automobile manufacturers face increasing pressure to reduce Scope 3 emissions across their value chains. In many cases, 75 to 80 percent of an automotive company’s lifecycle emissions originate from supply chain activities including raw material production.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">With digital traceability systems, manufacturers can now obtain cradle to grave visibility into what happens when their vehicles exit the road network. Dismantling records can be linked to specific vehicle models and locations, creating structured lifecycle tracking. The resulting “steel to steel” loop allows recovered automotive metals to be reintroduced into manufacturing processes, reducing reliance on carbon intensive primary materials</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
27 March 2026: Business leader and author Mr. LC Singh
launched his memoir, Things We Don’t See, in Mumbai, held in the
presence of eminent industry leaders and distinguished guests. The occasion was
graced by Aalok Shah, Managing Director at Rothschild India; Harish Mehta,
Founder of NASSCOM; Raamdeo Agrawal, Co-founder of Motilal Oswal Financial
Services; M. N. Singh, former Commissioner of Police, Mumbai; S. Mahalingam,
former Chief Financial Officer of Tata Consultancy Services; and Nirmal Jain,
former Senior Vice President at TCS. The event also witnessed the presence of
several other prominent industry leaders, dignitaries, along with the author’s
family and close associates. The book offers a deeply personal reflection on a
life shaped by imagination, adversity, aspiration and the search for meaning
beyond visible success.

The
evening also held special significance as it acknowledged the deeply personal
dedication at the heart of the book. Among those present in this context were
Mrs. Swarna Kohli, representing the late Mr F. C. Kohli, Mr. LC Singh’s
brother, Mr. U.C. Singh, who played an important role in his journey and Ms.
Swati, Mr. LC Singh’s daughter, representing herself, her sister Nimisha and
Late Mrs. Manorama, Mr. LC Singh’s wife. 
Their presence added emotional depth to an evening rooted in memory,
reflection and gratitude.

Things
We Don’t See traces the journey of a boy from a small
village who dared to dream beyond what he could see. From childhood memories
shaped by curiosity and wonder to a life that went on to engage with boardrooms
and global strategy, the memoir brings together the many layers that defined
Mr. Singh’s path. It is a story of questions, setbacks, growth and the quiet
evolution of a life that continued to seek something deeper beneath
achievement.

Rather
than simply recounting milestones, the book turns inward to explore the unseen
forces that shape a human journey. It reflects on struggle, self-belief and the
deeply personal search for purpose and peace. Through this memoir, Mr. LC Singh
brings together lived experience and introspection, offering readers a
thoughtful reflection on identity, ambition and the truths that often remain unnoticed
even in a life that appears accomplished from the outside.

Speaking
at the launch, Mr. LC Singh said, “I did not write this book simply to
recount my journey. I wrote it to understand it better. Over time, I realised
that life is shaped not only by the moments we celebrate, but also by the many
moments we overlook while living through them. From Banaras to boardrooms and
across the many roles I have inhabited, it was often the quieter spaces in
between, the questions and the reflections, that stayed with me. Through this
book, I wanted to return to those unseen spaces and understand how they quietly
shape who we become.”

The
evening also featured a fireside chat between Mr. LC Singh and Mr. Kiran
Khalap, which opened up the themes of the book further and invited the audience
into a thoughtful conversation on purpose, self-discovery and the quieter
truths that reveal themselves over time. The launch was also livestreamed for
Mr. Singh’s close associates, industry friends and people from different phases
of his life who could not be present at the venue, allowing them to be part of
the occasion from wherever they were.

With
Things We Don’t See, Mr. LC Singh offers readers more than the story of
his life. He offers a reflective and deeply human account of what it means to
dream, to endure, to build and ultimately to look inward. In its honesty and
depth, the memoir leaves readers with a lasting reminder that some of the most
important forces shaping our lives are often the ones we do not immediately
see. ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The evening also held special significance as it acknowledged the deeply personal dedication at the heart of the book. Among those present in this context were Mrs. Swarna Kohli, representing the late Mr F. C. Kohli, Mr. LC Singh’s brother, Mr. U.C. Singh, who played an important role in his journey and Ms. Swati, Mr. LC Singh’s daughter, representing herself, her sister Nimisha and Late Mrs. Manorama, Mr. LC Singh’s wife.<span>  </span>Their presence added emotional depth to an evening rooted in memory, reflection and gratitude.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN">Things We Don’t See</span></i><span lang="EN"> traces the journey of a boy from a small village who dared to dream beyond what he could see. From childhood memories shaped by curiosity and wonder to a life that went on to engage with boardrooms and global strategy, the memoir brings together the many layers that defined Mr. Singh’s path. It is a story of questions, setbacks, growth and the quiet evolution of a life that continued to seek something deeper beneath achievement.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Rather than simply recounting milestones, the book turns inward to explore the unseen forces that shape a human journey. It reflects on struggle, self-belief and the deeply personal search for purpose and peace. Through this memoir, Mr. LC Singh brings together lived experience and introspection, offering readers a thoughtful reflection on identity, ambition and the truths that often remain unnoticed even in a life that appears accomplished from the outside.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Speaking at the launch, Mr. LC Singh said, <i>“I did not write this book simply to recount my journey. I wrote it to understand it better. Over time, I realised that life is shaped not only by the moments we celebrate, but also by the many moments we overlook while living through them. From Banaras to boardrooms and across the many roles I have inhabited, it was often the quieter spaces in between, the questions and the reflections, that stayed with me. Through this book, I wanted to return to those unseen spaces and understand how they quietly shape who we become.”</i></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The evening also featured a fireside chat between Mr. LC Singh and Mr. Kiran Khalap, which opened up the themes of the book further and invited the audience into a thoughtful conversation on purpose, self-discovery and the quieter truths that reveal themselves over time. The launch was also livestreamed for Mr. Singh’s close associates, industry friends and people from different phases of his life who could not be present at the venue, allowing them to be part of the occasion from wherever they were.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">With <i>Things We Don’t See</i>, Mr. LC Singh offers readers more than the story of his life. He offers a reflective and deeply human account of what it means to dream, to endure, to build and ultimately to look inward. In its honesty and depth, the memoir leaves readers with a lasting reminder that some of the most important forces shaping our lives are often the ones we do not immediately see.</span></p>

<title>Credgenics expands into insurance with launch of AI&amp;powered engagement platform CredInsure</title>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Reimagines
customer engagements with AI driven intelligence and GenAI solutions


●       
Aims to
help insurers manage policyholder engagement, renewals, and persistency through
a unified and data-driven framework 

India, March 26th,
2026 : As insurance companies expand their customer
base and product portfolios, managing policyholder engagement across renewals,
servicing, and premium collections has become increasingly complex. Many
insurers still rely on fragmented systems, manual follow-ups, and
person-dependent processes, which can lead to missed renewals, policy lapses,
and inconsistent customer experiences. As improving persistence ratios and
strengthening long-term policyholder relationships become key priorities,
insurers are increasingly looking for more integrated and data-driven
engagement frameworks.

Against this backdrop,
Credgenics, a provider of AI-led collections platform for financial
institutions, has expanded its capabilities into the insurance segment with the
launch of CredInsure. The AI-powered CredInsure platform is designed to help
insurers manage customer engagement and persistence across the policy lifecycle
through an intelligent and unified system. CredInsure enables insurance
companies to coordinate activities such as renewals, premium collections,
onboarding, servicing, upselling, cross-selling, and deep-lapse recovery through
a single platform. The solution is intended to support insurers in managing
engagement efforts more systematically while improving visibility across
operational stages.

To address the
operational challenges insurers face in managing large volumes of policyholder
interactions, the platform is structured around three functional areas (like
intelligence, execution, and control). CredInsure uses AI-based models to
analyse customer behaviour indicators such as renewal likelihood, lapse
probability, and engagement patterns. These insights can help insurers identify
policies that may require timely outreach and enable teams to prioritise
engagement efforts based on data rather than manual tracking.

The platform also
incorporates workflow automation with intelligent task allocation across teams
and communication channels. Such structured workflows can help reduce reliance
on manual coordination and allow insurers to manage engagement activities more
consistently across different operational units.

For policyholder
communication, the platform supports multiple outreach channels including
AI-enabled voicebots, videos, predictive dialer, digital communication tools,
and technology-assisted field operations. It also integrates payment options
and monitoring dashboards that provide visibility into customer interactions
and operational progress. Together, these capabilities aim to help insurers
monitor engagement outcomes and respond more effectively at different stages of
the policy lifecycle.

Speaking on the development,
Rishabh Goel, Co-founder &amp; CEO of Credgenics, said, “As
insurance penetration deepens and product portfolios become more complex, there
is a need for intelligent and integrated platforms to serve customers better.
With CredInsure, we are extending our proven AI-powered technology platform to
cater to the insurance industry.  Our
vision is to help insurers move from reactive and fragmented customer
engagements to a proactive and insights driven approach that boosts portfolio
quality while elevating policyholder experience. The platform is designed to
provide insurers with better visibility into renewal cycles and engagement
outcomes, while enabling more coordinated and data-led decision-making.”

Anand Agrawal,
Co-founder &amp; CPTO of Credgenics, said, “Insurance
companies today manage large volumes of customer interactions across multiple
channels, which often creates operational complexity. CredInsure brings
together predictive analytics, workflow automation, and digital communication
capabilities in a single platform. The objective is to help insurers manage
engagement activities more efficiently while improving coordination across
teams responsible for renewals and customer servicing”

CredInsure is designed
to support insurers in managing renewal engagement, reducing lapse risks, and
improving operational visibility across customer interaction channels.

<title>HUFT Accelerates Retail Expansion with their 110th Pet Store &amp;amp; Spa in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/huft-accelerates-retail-expansion-with-their-110th-pet-store-spa-in-banjara-hills-hyderabad</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/huft-accelerates-retail-expansion-with-their-110th-pet-store-spa-in-banjara-hills-hyderabad</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  India’s
leading pet care brand, Heads Up For Tails (HUFT),
has opened its newest store and full-service pet spa, spanning over 1200 square
feet, in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad - strengthening its presence in one of
India’s most engaged pet-parent communities. With over 110 stores nationwide
and a growing digital footprint, HUFT today partners with more than 1 million
pet families across India.

Hyderabad:
A High-Growth, High-Engagement Market

India’s
pet care industry, currently estimated at over ₹6,000 crore, is growing at
18–20% CAGR. (Sources: India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), “India’s pet
care industry to touch Rs 10,000 crore (US$1.17 billion) by 2028” 2023; The
Economic Times, “Paw power: How pets are becoming a serious business in
India,” 2023).

This
is driven by higher pet adoption rates, rising disposable incomes, and the
integration of pets into the core family dynamic. Within this landscape,
Hyderabad has emerged as one of the most promising urban markets.

Over
the past three years, insights show that Hyderabad pet parents demonstrate
higher-than-average spends on pet nutrition, functional treats, and grooming
services. This indicates not just higher spending power, but deeper engagement
and trust in quality-led brands.

“Banjara
Hills has long been a high-potential neighbourhood for us. The community here
reflects the kind of informed, emotionally-invested pet parents we build for.
This store allows us to serve them more deeply - through quality products,
trusted advice, and professional grooming services under one roof.” - Rahul
Sanon, COO, HUFT

More
Than a Store

The
Banjara Hills store
follows HUFT’s evolved community-led retail format - combining experiential
discovery, consultation-led selling, and full-service grooming under one roof.
Their private labels, including food and treats for dogs and cats, continue to
gain traction as Indian consumers increasingly prioritise ingredient
transparency, label honesty, and balanced formulations over price-led choices.

The
attached pet spa addresses another visible shift. Grooming is no longer viewed
as occasional indulgence, but as part of preventive care and routine hygiene.
HUFT has seen steady year-on-year growth in grooming transactions nationally,
with cities like Hyderabad showing faster adoption of scheduled grooming
services. 

Despite
rapid digital growth, one insight remains clear: pet parenting is deeply
emotional. Decisions around food, health, and care are built and strengthened
by conversations, reassurance, and expert guidance. The Banjara Hills store has
been designed as a welcoming space where pet parents can seek advice, discover
products, and receive hands-on support from pet-first people who represent and
reflect the brand’s legacy of 18+ years.

Scale,
Strategy &amp; the Road Ahead

HUFT’s
expansion strategy is data-led - mapping pet density, premium catchments, and
evolving consumer behaviour before entering a neighbourhood. The brand
continues to deepen its presence in Tier 1 cities while also proactively
expanding into emerging Tier 2 markets with rising first-time pet adoptions. 

“India’s
pet care market is scaling structurally, but at its heart, this category is
built on trust. Hyderabad has consistently shown us repeat purchase behaviours,
but what stands out even more for us is the deep emotional investment of its
pet parents. Our expansion into Banjara Hills is about becoming part of that
everyday journey, offering expertise, quality, and a space that feels as
welcoming as it is credible.” - Rashi Sanon Narang, Founder, HUFT

With
the opening of its Banjara Hills store and spa, HUFT continues to strengthen
its position not just as a retailer, but as a partner to India’s evolving
community of pet parents - building scale with thoughtful care, and growth with
purpose. ]]></description>

(Sources: India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), <i>“India’s pet care industry to touch Rs 10,000 crore (US$1.17 billion) by 2028”</i> 2023; The Economic Times, <i>“Paw power: How pets are becoming a serious business in India,”</i> 2023).</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This is driven by higher pet adoption rates, rising disposable incomes, and the integration of pets into the core family dynamic. Within this landscape, Hyderabad has emerged as one of the most promising urban markets.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Over the past three years, insights show that Hyderabad pet parents demonstrate higher-than-average spends on pet nutrition, functional treats, and grooming services. This indicates not just higher spending power, but deeper engagement and trust in quality-led brands.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN">“Banjara Hills has long been a high-potential neighbourhood for us.

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The attached pet spa addresses another visible shift. Grooming is no longer viewed as occasional indulgence, but as part of preventive care and routine hygiene.

<title>Avee Kids Rebrands as Syoat Kids, Strengthening Its Oat&amp;Focused Care Vision for Children</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/avee-kids-rebrands-as-syoat-kids-strengthening-its-oat-focused-care-vision-for-children</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/avee-kids-rebrands-as-syoat-kids-strengthening-its-oat-focused-care-vision-for-children</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a personal care
market that often divides sharply between baby products and adult products, the
years in between are frequently overlooked. That was the gap Lalith Kiran
Pedapudi set out to address when building the brand first known as Avee
Kids. Today, that journey enters a new chapter, with the brand being renamed Syoat Kids.

The transition from
Avee Kids to Syoat Kids is not a change in purpose, but a sharper expression of
it. The new name reflects a clearer and more distinctive identity for a brand
that has always stood for gentle, age-appropriate skincare and haircare for
children aged 5 to 12. At the same time, the values that helped parents
discover and trust the brand remain intact: thoughtful formulation, everyday
practicality, and a commitment to creating products that feel safe, effective,
and reassuring to use.

For Lalith Kiran
Pedapudi, the reason for the rebrand is both strategic and meaningful. As the
brand matured, it needed a name that could better express its philosophy and
stand apart in a crowded market. “Syoat” carries that significance. It points
naturally toward the ingredient story that has become central to the brand’s
identity—especially its focus on oats as a soothing, skin-friendly foundation
for children’s care. More importantly, it gives the company a stronger
long-term platform as it grows, while staying true to the trust it has already
built with families.

That continuity
matters. Syoat Kids is not being introduced as a new business with a different
product promise. Instead, it is the same brand in spirit, with the same
formulations and the same quality standards, presented under a name that more
clearly captures what it stands for. As the company puts it in its own brand
story, the essence remains unchanged; only the name evolves. Families can continue
to engage with the brand’s background and philosophy through its story page.

The oats-led focus is
especially significant. In children’s skincare and haircare, gentleness is not
a trend; it is a necessity. Oats have long been associated with soothing care,
and in the Syoat Kids philosophy, that ingredient focus is paired with multivitamins
such as B5 and E to support healthy skin and nourished hair. This gives the
brand a point of difference that goes beyond packaging or positioning. It
signals a product approach built around calm, comfort, and
consistency—qualities parents actively seek when choosing products for growing
children.

The founder’s insight
was simple but powerful: children in the 5-to-12 age group are no longer
babies, yet they are still far too young for harsh adult formulations. They are
more active, more independent, and increasingly involved in their own routines.
Their products, therefore, should reflect that stage of life. That belief
shaped the brand’s range of shampoo, body wash, lotion, and bundled care
essentials, now presented under the new identity and accessible through the Syoat Kids skincare and haircare range.

Speaking on the
transition, Lalith Kiran Pedapudi, Founder, said: “This rebrand is a
step forward in clarity, not a step away from our roots. We began with a simple
belief that children in the in-between years deserve care made especially for
them—gentle, effective, and created with a parent’s mindset. Syoat Kids
reflects that belief more powerfully, while carrying forward the same formulas,
the same standards, and the same care that families have come to trust.”

Looking ahead, the
company is also preparing to expand its portfolio with new launches tailored to
the evolving skincare and haircare needs of pre-teens and teens. The upcoming
range is expected to include products such as Syoat Kids Cleansing Shampoo,
Hair Oil, Lip Balm, Face Wash, Face Cream and other thoughtfully developed
daily-care essentials, further strengthening the brand’s commitment to
age-appropriate personal care for growing children.

With Syoat Kids, the
brand is not rewriting its story. It is naming it more confidently.

<title>The Sound of the World Cup: Why Seattle’s Crowd Could Be One of the Loudest in 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[ When the FIFA World Cup
arrives in North America in 2026, football fans across the globe will be
deciding where they want to experience the tournament. For Indian fans dreaming
of witnessing the World Cup live, Seattle is shaping up to be one of the most exciting
places to be. Known for its passionate sports culture and famously loud stadium
atmosphere, the city could easily produce some of the most electric crowds of
the entire tournament.

At the heart of the
action will be The Seattle Stadium, the venue hosting World Cup matches in the
city. The stadium is already legendary among football fans in the United
States. It’s home to Seattle Sounders FC, one of Major League Soccer’s most
successful clubs and arguably the league’s most passionate fanbases. Sounders
games regularly attract 40,000 to 60,000 fans, creating an atmosphere that
feels closer to a European football night than a typical American sporting
event.

But what makes Seattle
special isn’t just the numbers, it’s the noise.

Seattle fans don’t
simply watch football. They live every second of it.

Matchdays begin hours
before kickoff, with supporter groups like the Emerald City Supporters marching
through the streets near the stadium with drums, giant flags, and nonstop
chants. The energy builds as thousands of fans walk toward The Seattle Stadium
together, turning the entire neighborhood into a football carnival.

For Indian football
fans, the vibe might feel instantly familiar. Think of the passion of Kolkata
derby crowds, the roar of ISL stadiums, and the joy of fans singing together,
now imagine that same energy on the stage of the FIFA World Cup.

There’s also a
fascinating reason why Seattle’s crowds sound so loud. The Seattle Stadium was
designed to amplify fan noise. Its unique architecture traps sound inside the
stadium, reflecting chants and cheers back toward the pitch. The result? A wall
of sound that players can feel as much as they can hear. In fact, the stadium
has recorded crowd noise levels above 130 decibels, roughly as loud as a jet
engine.

Now imagine that level
of intensity during a World Cup match. A dramatic goal. A last-minute winner.
Thousands of fans jumping and singing in unison.

It’s the kind of
atmosphere that makes attending a World Cup match unforgettable.

Seattle will also offer
fans far more than just football. During the tournament, the city is expected
to host four Fan Celebrations, watch parties, and festivities bringing together
supporters from every corner of the world. For Indian travellers, it’s a chance
to experience football as a global festival, meeting fans from different
countries while exploring one of America’s most beautiful cities.

Because in the end, the
World Cup isn’t just about the teams on the pitch. It’s about the energy in the
stands, the chants echoing through the stadium, and the feeling of being part
of something bigger than the game itself.

And when it comes to
creating unforgettable football noise, Seattle might just deliver one of the
loudest stages of the 2026 World Cup.

So if you’re an Indian
football fan dreaming of experiencing the FIFA World Cup live, make sure
Seattle is on your travel list, and head to visitseattle.org to
start planning your ultimate World Cup adventure.

QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026 evaluated 6,277 institutions
across 55 disciplines worldwide, making JGU’s achievement a landmark moment not
only for the university but for Indian higher education as a whole. Founded
just 17 years ago, JGU’s rise across multiple disciplines demonstrates that a
young Indian university can achieve global excellence, scale, and
transformative impact across fields.

Mr.
Naveen Jindal, the Founding Chancellor of JGU, said:
“JGU’s success across disciplines represents a defining moment of national
pride for India. Being ranked among the top 50 in the world in Law, top 100 in
the world in Politics &amp; International Studies, and top 200 in the world in
Business &amp; Management Studies, along with being #1 in India across multiple
disciplines, reflects the growing global stature of Indian higher education.
This achievement is also a celebration of our enduring commitment to
philanthropy—an unwavering belief that building world-class institutions is
central to nation-building. Above all, it is a tribute to the extraordinary
contributions of our students, faculty, and staff, whose dedication and
excellence are helping realise India’s aspiration of becoming a global
knowledge superpower.”

Professor
(Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor of JGU, said:
“While our ranking of #35 in Law is undeniably historic—placing us among the
world’s leading law schools—what is truly significant is that across all
disciplines, JGU has emerged among the top institutions in the world and is
ranked #1 in India across multiple disciplines. This achievement reflects the
visionary philanthropy and nation-building commitment of our Chancellor, which
has enabled the creation of a truly world-class university in India. It is
equally a tribute to the outstanding contributions of our faculty members,
students, and staff, whose collective efforts have built a culture of
excellence across disciplines. Together, these accomplishments position JGU as
a global benchmark for multidisciplinary education and research, setting new
standards of excellence and offering a powerful model for the future of Indian
higher education.”

Professor
Padmanabha Ramanujam, Dean of Academic Governance, added:
“These rankings are a powerful testament to the strength, resilience, and
dynamism of JGU’s academic ecosystem. Our rise into the top tier globally
across disciplines, alongside being ranked #1 in India in multiple domains,
reflects a deeply embedded culture of excellence and innovation. Above all,
this milestone belongs to our students, faculty, and staff—their passion, hard
work, and shared sense of purpose continue to drive JGU’s success and
contribute to realising India’s vision of world-class universities that can

<description><![CDATA[ HYDERABAD :  In a nation, where millions silently endure the burden of missing teeth,
struggling to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, one name has emerged as
the definitive force in restoring not just teeth, but lives. Prof. Dr. Vikas
Gowd, founder and chief implantologist at Dr. Gowds’ Dental Hospitals,
Hyderabad, has made it his life’s mission to bring world-class dental
implantology to every patient with speed, precision, and permanence that no
conventional treatment can match.

Why Dental Implants Are No Longer Optional: They Are
Essential

For decades, dentistry offered two primary
solutions for missing teeth: dentures and bridges. Both served a purpose. But
both came with significant limitations — slipping, discomfort, bone loss, and
the constant reminder that the replacement was never truly “yours.” Dental
implants changed everything.

A dental implant is a titanium fixture
surgically placed into the jawbone, functioning as an artificial tooth root.
Over time, it fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration,
creating a foundation as strong — and in many ways stronger — than nature
itself. A custom crown is then placed atop, completing a restoration that
looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth.

The clinical importance of dental implants
goes far beyond aesthetics:

●     
Prevents bone loss: When
a tooth is lost, the jawbone begins to deteriorate within months. Implants are
the only restoration that stimulates bone, halting this process entirely. 

●     
Preserves adjacent teeth: Unlike
bridges that require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth, implants are
completely independent, keeping your natural teeth intact. 

●     
Restores full bite function: Patients
with implants can eat any food without restriction — apples, meat, and nuts —
without fear or discomfort. 

●     
Lifelong durability: With
proper care, implants are designed to last a lifetime. No adhesive. No removal.
No compromise. 

●     
Psychological and social confidence: Clinical
studies consistently show that patients with dental implants report dramatically
improved self-esteem, social confidence, and quality of life. 

The global dental
implant market is projected to cross USD 7 billion by 2028, and India is
rapidly emerging as one of the fastest-growing markets. At the center of this
revolution in Hyderabad stands Dr. Vikas Gowd.

 

About Prof. Dr. Vikas Gowd — A Legacy Built on Firsts

Prof. Dr. Vikas Gowd holds qualifications few
dentists in India or the world can claim: MDS, FICD, FICOI, DICOI, FBDZI, and
FDGOI. He is a specialist in dental implantology, prosthodontics, aesthetic
dentistry, and maxillofacial surgery. But credentials alone do not define him.
His record of pioneering “firsts” does.

●     
First Indian to be conferred Expert
Implantologist status by the European Dental Association (EDA) 

●     
First to place immediate dental implants in
the State of Andhra Pradesh 

●     
First to conduct a clinical study on bone
regeneration from stem cells in the region 

●     
First to introduce CAD/CAM technology to
restorative dentistry in Hyderabad 

●     
Appointed Director of Oral Implantology,
University of Genova, Italy (2018) 

●     
President, Association of Implantologists,
Hyderabad 

●     
Fellow and Member, International Congress of
Oral Implantologists (ICOI) 

●     
Former Professor and Head of Department,
Prosthodontics: six years of academic excellence 

●     
Founder and Director, School of Dental
Implants, training the next generation of implantologists 

Trained across the United States, Switzerland,
and Germany in surgical and prosthodontic phases of implantology, advanced bone
grafting, and tissue regeneration, Dr. Gowd brings a global standard of care to
Hyderabad’s patients every single day.

Dental Implants: Then vs. Now — A Revolution in Patient
Experience

To appreciate the magnitude of what Dr. Vikas
Gowd and his team now offer, one must understand how dramatically implantology
has evolved.

The Conventional (Traditional) Implant Journey:

The traditional implant process was a
multi-stage, multi-month journey that demanded enormous patience from patients:

1.Tooth Extraction: If
the damaged tooth was still present, it had to be removed and the patient had
to wait 3–6 months for the socket to heal completely. 

2.Bone Grafting (if
required): Many patients had insufficient bone density. A bone graft—often
using material from the patient’s own body—was placed and required a further
4–6 months of healing. 

3.Implant Placement:
Only then could the titanium implant be placed. Healing and
osseointegration required another 3–6 months. 

4.Crown Placement: Finally,
after all healing was complete, the permanent crown was fitted. 

●     
Total Timeline: Anywhere
between 9 months and 18 months from first consultation to ]]></description>

The number of anesthetic administrations drops from 4 to just 1. The recovery time shrinks from months to days. Pain and discomfort are dramatically reduced. And crucially, the aesthetic outcome is often superior, because bone and gum tissue architecture is preserved at the moment of tooth loss rather than allowed to resorb and collapse.

<description><![CDATA[ 25
March 2026, Bengaluru : Puravankara Limited (NSE: PURVA | BSE:
532891), one of India’s most trusted and admired real estate developers, today
announced its plans to unveil 30 projects over the next 24 months, primarily
across South India and Mumbai. The planned pipeline comprises nearly 51.14
million sq. ft. of developable area, with an estimated Gross Development Value
(GDV) of over Rs 55,000 crores, marking a significant step-up in the company’s
growth trajectory. Out of the 30 projects, a significant number are already in
the approval stage, while the remaining are in the design stage, with approvals
set to be initiated shortly.

This
next phase of expansion reflects Puravankara’s focus on high-quality,
well-located developments across key urban markets, supported by a strong
launch inventory and disciplined capital allocation. As of 9MFY26, the company
has reported pre-sales of Rs 3,859 crores and customer collections of   Rs
3,045 crores, reflecting sustained demand and strong operating momentum.

Aligned
with its larger purpose of creating long-term value for all stakeholders, the
company’s upcoming developments are expected to contribute meaningfully to
economic activity. This pipeline is expected to generate around 8 million
man-days of direct employment annually and give a fillip to over 250 ancillary
industries associated with the real estate sector.

Ashish
Puravankara, Managing Director, Puravankara Limited, said,
“Over the past five decades, we have built Puravankara on a strong
foundation of trust, transparency, and delivery excellence. As we enter our
next phase of growth, we are poised for the next leap, backed by stronger
capabilities, a professional and well-governed organisation, and a high-quality
project pipeline across Mumbai and South India. 

Our
focus remains on creating differentiated products, strengthening our presence
in key micro-markets, and delivering long-term value to our customers and
stakeholders. This pipeline reflects not just our growth ambitions, but also
our confidence in India’s structural housing demand and the opportunities
emerging across urban markets.”

Mallanna
Sasalu, CEO - South, Puravankara Limited, added,
“We are entering this phase with a clear execution roadmap that is stronger,
more agile, and future-ready. Our developments are designed not just as real
estate projects, but as integrated communities that respond to evolving
customer needs.

At
the same time, we recognise the broader role we play in the economy. This scale
of development will create livelihoods, support a wide ecosystem of industries,
and contribute meaningfully to urban growth. Our sustainability initiatives,
including our afforestation pledge and focus on resource efficiency, are
integral to how we build for the future.”

Supported
by a robust pipeline, improving operating metrics, and a disciplined approach
to growth, Puravankara is entering its next phase with strong visibility and
confidence.

As
part of Puravankara’s Golden Jubilee year, the company has further strengthened
its sustainability commitments. Building on the pledge to plant 1 million trees
by 2030 under the World Economic Forum’s 1t.org global initiative, the company
will reinforce this commitment through the upcoming Puravankara 10k Run on
29 March 2026, during which 10,000 trees will be planted. This is complemented
by a continued focus on water conservation, green building practices, and
environmentally responsible development across projects. 

The
company remains committed to delivering long-term value through high-quality
developments, operational excellence, and a continued focus on sustainability
and stakeholder trust. ]]></description>

<title>Hridayamrit Foundation Completes One Year: India’s Largest Youth&amp;Led Cardiovascular Health Literacy and Prevention Organization Announces National Mission</title>

<description><![CDATA[  New
Delhi : In a country where cardiovascular diseases claim more lives than any
other cause — accounting for nearly one in every four deaths — a young doctor
decided that the fight against heart disease must begin not in catheterization
labs, but in communities, classrooms, and conversations. One year ago, Dr.
Amanpreet Singh Wasir, MBBS founded the Hridayamrit
Foundation, and today, it stands as
India’s first and largest youth-led organization dedicated to cardiovascular
health literacy and prevention.

India
is in the grip of a non-communicable disease epidemic. Cardiovascular diseases
account for an estimated 28% of all deaths in India, with the burden falling
disproportionately on younger populations and underserved communities. South
Asians carry a genetically elevated risk of heart disease, developing it a
decade earlier than global averages. Yet, awareness remains alarmingly low —
millions do not know their blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol levels.
Everyone knows that prevention is better than cure — but what is often
forgotten is that prevention is also cheaper, easier, and far more impactful
than cure. In a country battling an epidemic of lifestyle diseases, prevention
must not remain an afterthought.

Dr.
Wasir recalls a defining moment: “I had just ten minutes to counsel a
patient with hypertension in a busy outpatient clinic. Later, she searched
online—but found only Western data, complex language, and nothing reflecting
her South Asian reality. That’s when it struck me: despite being a high-risk
group, we still lack a platform tailored to our language, lifestyle, and risk.
If we can’t explain heart disease in a way our people understand, we’ve already
failed them.”

It
was this gap that the Hridayamrit Foundation was born to address. Registered as
a Section 8 not-for-profit company in March 2025, the Foundation draws its name
from Sanskrit — ‘Hriday’ meaning heart, and ‘Amrit’ meaning nectar of knowledge
and empowerment. India has numerous cardiac care organizations, but none led by
young medical professionals with a singular focus on preventive cardiology,
patient education, and public health literacy. Hridayamrit is the
first-of-its-kind youth-led preventive cardiology organization that puts health
education in the hands of the people who need it most, in the language they
actually understand.

In
just twelve months, the Foundation’s impact has been remarkable.
Community-based cardiovascular screening and health literacy initiatives have
reached over 3,000 individuals across diverse settings. Flagship initiatives
span risk factor screening, health literacy programs, emergency preparedness,
and youth leadership. More than 500 young volunteers have been mobilized,
collectively conducting over 20 hybrid activities nationwide. The Foundation’s
Medical School Campus Ambassador program spans over 100 medical colleges across
India, making it the country’s most extensive student-driven cardiovascular
health network in preventive cardiology. Operations now extend across 20+
states and union territories, supported by more than 20 leading cardiovascular
advisors and over 40 national and international partnerships.



Members
of the Hridayamrit Foundation&#039;s leadership team during a virtual strategy
meeting, representing young medical professionals and public health advocates
from across India driving the Foundation&#039;s mission.

As
the Hridayamrit Foundation enters its second year, it is preparing to launch
its Flagship National Mission—a strategically designed, phased rollout campaign
aimed at bringing comprehensive cardiovascular prevention to every corner of
the country. The program will deploy AI-augmented survey tools, train a
preventive cardiology workforce, conduct mass cardiometabolic screenings,
deliver culturally grounded health education, and establish long-term follow-up
systems for behavioral change tracking. Hridayamrit has partnered with the
South Asian Prevention Network Alliance (SAPNA) of the American Society for
Preventive Cardiology (ASPC) to develop a comprehensive cardiovascular health
literacy framework specifically designed for South Asian populations,
incorporating culturally relevant guidance, region-specific clinical
thresholds, and content planned for translation into regional languages.

“We
believe that informed decisions save lives,” says Dr. Wasir, Founder and
Managing Director of Hridayamrit Foundation, who is currently pursuing a Master
of Public Health (MPH) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
in the U.S.A. He also serves as a member of the South Asian Prevention Network
and Early Career Working Group at ASPC, a HeartPAC (Political Action Committee)
Member and Social Media Ambassador at the American College of Cardiology (ACC)
and has been recognized at multiple forums for his work in preventive
cardiology and health advocacy. Dr. Wasir adds, “I believe an in ]]></description>

<title>Ta3s Launches AssurePulseAI — An AI&amp;Native Performance Engineering Platform Transforming Enterprise Observability and Application Monitoring</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
March 25, 2026 : Ta3s today announced the launch of AssurePulseAI,
an AI-native observability and performance engineering platform designed to
help enterprises navigate the growing complexity of modern digital systems.
Unlike traditional APM tools, AssurePulseAI is built from the ground up as a
unified, intelligent platform that moves enterprises from reactive monitoring
to autonomous, predictive performance management.

As
enterprises adopt microservices, APIs, hybrid cloud, and distributed
architectures, legacy monitoring tools have become fragmented, slow, and
heavily dependent on partners, manual intervention and longer deployment cycles
besides customisation. Engineering teams are often forced to rely on multiple
tools, correlate data manually, and respond to issues only after business
impact occurs. Positioned at the intersection of observability, automation, and
business intelligence, AssurePulseAI is designed not just to surface system
data, but to interpret it in real time, predict failures, and recommend
corrective actions helping Organisations reduce operational complexity while
improving key metrics such as mean time to detection (MTTD) and mean time to
resolution (MTTR).

At
its core, the platform integrates telemetry across the entire technology stack
including applications, infrastructure, databases, networks, and APIs offering
a unified and contextual view of system health, while leveraging AI to
correlate signals across layers and identify probable root causes with minimal
manual intervention. Building on this, its predictive capabilities analyse historical
and real-time data to flag potential performance degradation, capacity
constraints, and anomalies before they impact end users enabling organisations
to shift from reactive incident response to proactive prevention.

Commenting
on the launch, Sumukha Rao, Founder of Ta3s, said: “AssurePulseAI
represents a shift from monitoring systems to engineering performance outcomes.
While the industry has focused on visibility, enterprises today need
intelligence, automation, and business alignment. We built AssurePulseAI as an
AI-native platform that not only understands system behaviour in real time but
also predicts and prevents failures.

India
represents a significant opportunity, with rapid digitisation across
Government, BFSI, fintech, and digital platforms driving demand for real-time
performance intelligence, the global observability market itself is expected to
exceed $60 billion this decade. While several players have a strong presence,
we see a clear gap for solutions built and also around regulatory and
operational realities. A key differentiator for us is that enterprise data is
retained and processed within organisations and region, aligning with growing
expectations around data sovereignty.”

Abhinav,
Engineering Head, added:

“AssurePulseAI
has been architected as a truly AI-native platform where intelligence is
embedded into the core data pipeline, not layered on top. We ingest and
correlate high-volume telemetry across distributed systems in real time,
leveraging advanced AI models to detect anomalies, identify root causes, and
predict potential failures before they manifest.

From
a technical standpoint, the platform is designed for scale, minimal overhead,
and rapid deployment. Our lightweight instrumentation ensures there is no
performance impact on production systems, while our unified data model
eliminates the need for complex integrations across multiple tools. This allows
engineering teams to move from fragmented observability to a single,
intelligent control plane that continuously learns and adapts to system
behaviour.”

The
platform connects technical performance with business outcomes by mapping
telemetry to business transactions, enabling organisations to quantify the
impact of system issues on customer experience, revenue, and service-level
objectives. It also incorporates intelligent alerting and automated escalation
to ensure faster, context-driven incident response, alongside a composite
performance index that provides a simplified, real-time view of overall system
health for business leaders.

Designed
for industries where uptime and performance are critical, AssurePulseAI enables
organisations to move beyond monitoring toward performance engineering
supporting DevOps and continuous delivery environments by helping teams
anticipate failures, optimise resources, and deliver consistent digital
experiences. 

Availability

AssurePulseAI
is now available globally for enterprise deployments, including pilot programs
and demonstrations.

<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/why-more-indians-are-choosing-elcytec-for-trusted-pre-owned-electronics</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/why-more-indians-are-choosing-elcytec-for-trusted-pre-owned-electronics</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, India : The demand for affordable and reliable electronics in India
continues to grow, and Elcytec, a Delhi-based e-commerce platform, is helping
meet that demand by offering carefully tested open-box and pre-owned electronic
devices to customers across the country.

Founded
by Ravi Sharma and Ritesh Sharma, Elcytec has spent the past five years
building a trusted marketplace where customers can purchase genuine electronics

To
further strengthen customer trust, Elcytec offers genuine warranty coverage on
all products. This warranty is backed directly by Elcytec and, where
applicable, also supported by the original manufacturer for the remaining
warranty duration.

In
addition, Elcytec offers a return pickup service from the customer’s location,
making the return process simple and convenient if support is required. This
commitment to service ensures customers can shop with confidence knowing

<description><![CDATA[ Professional video
generation, interactive scenario training, and adaptive assessments delivered
as managed services—compatible with all major learning management systems

Mumbai, India — March
25th, 2026 : Flipick today announced AI-powered
training content creation services, enabling organizations to generate
professional videos, interactive scenarios, and adaptive assessments without
investing in authoring tools or technical expertise—deliverable to any LMS
platform.

The services address a
major challenge for learning teams: organizations often deploy learning
management systems but struggle to produce engaging, high-quality training
content quickly. Flipick’s managed content services solve this gap by
producing ready-to-deploy learning materials compatible with industry-standard
LMS platforms.

“Organizations today
need to scale training faster than ever before,” said Ravi Dugal, CEO of
Flipick. “Our AI-powered content services help companies produce
high-quality learning experiences quickly—while ensuring compatibility with the
LMS infrastructure they already use.”

AI Video Generation Service

Flipick creates
professional training videos using AI-assisted production workflows.

Organizations provide
topics, learning objectives, or existing materials. Flipick delivers:

●       
Structured multi-scene training videos

●       
Professional learning-optimized layouts

●       
Branded visual identity and themes

●       
Licensed imagery and contextual visuals

●       
AI-generated narration scripts

●       
Professional voice synthesis

Typical turnaround time
ranges from 3–5 business days.

For example, a
healthcare organization may submit “Patient Communication Best Practices”
on Monday and receive a complete branded training video with embedded
assessments by Friday—ready for deployment.

Interactive Scenario Training Service

For complex
decision-making training, Flipick builds interactive branching scenarios
that simulate real workplace situations.

Learners face realistic
decisions such as:

●       
Customer complaints

Compliance dilemmas

●       
Ethical selling challenges

●       
Technical troubleshooting situations

Each scenario includes:

●       
Multiple decision paths

●       
Immediate feedback on choices

●       
Consequence-based learning outcomes

●       
Performance scoring

This enables learners
to practice judgment and decision-making, not just consume information.

Adaptive Assessment Service

Flipick also generates
intelligent assessments that adapt in real time to learner performance,
enabling more accurate evaluation of competency levels.

Organizations define
learning objectives and proficiency tiers. Flipick produces:

●       
Tiered question banks aligned to competency
levels

●       
Adaptive algorithms adjusting difficulty
dynamically

●       
Detailed explanations for each response

●       
Competency-based scoring models

Adaptive assessments
can be integrated with any LMS using the standard LTI interface,
allowing organizations to leverage Flipick’s assessment capabilities without
replacing their existing LMS infrastructure.

All Flipick content
deliverables export as SCORM-compliant packages, ensuring compatibility
with major LMS platforms including:

●       
Moodle

●       
Docebo

●

Organizations can
continue using their current LMS while significantly improving training content
quality and engagement.

<title>Flipick Launches Skills&amp;Based Learning Management System with Adaptive Assessments</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/flipick-launches-skills-based-learning-management-system-with-adaptive-assessments</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/flipick-launches-skills-based-learning-management-system-with-adaptive-assessments</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Enterprise
LMS platform goes beyond completion tracking to measure actual competencies,
enabling organizations to build skills-driven workforce development programs

Mumbai,
India — March 25th, 2026 : Flipick today announced the launch of Flipick
LMS, an enterprise learning management system built around competency
tracking and adaptive learning—moving beyond traditional completion-based
metrics to measure actual skill development.

While
most LMS platforms track whether learners completed courses, Flipick LMS tracks
what competencies they have actually developed, at what proficiency levels,
and where skill gaps exist across the organization.

“We’re
witnessing a fundamental shift in how organizations nurture talent and build
workforce capability,” said Ravi Dugal, CEO of Flipick. “Flipick’s
skills-based LMS moves learning beyond course completion to measurable
competency development, enabling organizations to build high-performing,
future-ready teams.”

Skills-Based
Architecture

Flipick
LMS enables organizations to define comprehensive skill taxonomies
relevant to their industry—customer service, compliance, technical
capabilities, leadership, product knowledge and more. All learning content maps
to these competencies, creating unified visibility into workforce capabilities.

As
learners complete training and assessments, the system automatically updates
their competency profiles. Managers see team skill heatmaps showing proficiency
levels across required competencies, identify critical gaps, and receive
automated recommendations for development priorities.

For
example, a relationship manager might show Level 3 proficiency in product
knowledge but only Level 2 in ethical selling, highlighting targeted
training needs for promotion readiness.

Adaptive
Assessment System

The
platform’s adaptive assessment engine tailors difficulty based on learner
performance. Rather than fixed tests, assessments adjust question complexity in
real-time, providing more accurate competency measurement while reducing
assessment fatigue.

Organizations
set competency-based pass criteria rather than simple percentage scores.
A learner must demonstrate Level 3 proficiency in five key skills—not just
answer 70% of questions correctly—ensuring assessments measure real capability.

Adaptive
assessments can also be integrated with any LMS using the standard LTI
interface, enabling organizations to deploy Flipick’s
assessment engine alongside their existing learning platforms.

Structured Learning
Paths

Flipick
LMS supports career development through structured learning paths with
competency-based prerequisites. Organizations build progression sequences like “Teller
to Branch Manager” where learners advance only after demonstrating required
proficiency levels.

The
system enforces skill prerequisites, tracks path completion across cohorts,
identifies promotion-ready employees based on competency profiles, and flags
at-risk learners falling behind development targets.

Enterprise
Infrastructure

Built
on multi-tenant architecture with complete data isolation, Flipick LMS
serves organizations from 50 to 10,000+ employees. The platform includes:

●       
Role-based access control

●       
SCORM 1.2 / SCORM 2004 compatibility

●       
LTI integrations for external tools

●       
Comprehensive compliance reporting

●       
Secure cloud deployment for enterprise
scalability

Organizations
can upload training content from any source—internal teams, external vendors,
or existing authoring tools—and use Flipick’s competency framework to measure
skill development regardless of content origin.

Target Markets

Flipick
LMS serves industries requiring structured competency development including:

●       
Banking &amp; Financial Services

●       
Healthcare

●       
Retail &amp; Hospitality

●       
Manufacturing

●       
Compliance-driven enterprise sectors

About Flipick

Flipick
provides enterprise learning technology focused on skills-based workforce
development and competency tracking, helping organizations move from
training completion metrics to measurable capability building.

<title>Supreme Universal launches Supreme Rivana, redefining riverside living in Pune; A 12.6&amp;acre Riverside Gated Community</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune, March 25, 2026 :  Supreme Universal, a multifaceted real estate company offering luxury and
ultra-luxury developments for diverse customer segments across Mumbai and Pune,
has announced the launch of its new residential development, Supreme Rivana, a
12.6-acre riverfront gated community located in Punawale, Pune.

Positioned along the edge of the
river, Supreme Rivana is conceived as a thoughtfully planned residential
ecosystem that brings together nature, design and everyday convenience. The
development will comprise residential towers offering 2, 3 &amp; 4 Bed
residences.

Speaking on the pre-launch, Mr.
Vishal Jumani, Joint Managing Director, Supreme Universal, said, &quot;At
Supreme, our approach has always been rooted in purposeful design and a deep
understanding of how people experience their living spaces. With Supreme
Rivana, we are bringing together the rarity of riverfront living with a
carefully planned ecosystem that balances openness, community and everyday
functionality. This project reflects our continued focus on creating spaces
that are not just built well, but are designed to be lived in
meaningfully.&quot;

The project will be launched in
phases, with a total development potential of over 3 million sq. ft. and an
investment towards construction of over INR 1,500 crore. Rising tall, the
towers are thoughtfully designed to offer expansive views, abundant natural
ventilation, and ample daylight.

At the heart of Supreme Rivana is West
Pune&#039;s one of the largest multi-level clubhouse, spanning more than 50,000
square feet, complemented by all new-age amenities like padel ball, pickleball,
and over 50 lifestyle amenities distributed across the project — designed
keeping in mind all age groups. The development also integrates extensive green
planning, with over 700 trees and landscaped open spaces designed to create a
balanced living environment.

Further reinforcing the
location&#039;s appeal, the project enjoys proximity to the upcoming Navi Mumbai
International Airport and will benefit from the proposed Ring Road, both of
which are set to significantly enhance connectivity and make Punawale an increasingly
accessible and well-linked residential destination.

Punawale has emerged as one of
Pune&#039;s fastest-growing residential corridors, offering strong connectivity to
key infrastructure such as the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, NH-48, and Hinjewadi IT
Park. With improving social infrastructure, planned metro connectivity and
ongoing civic developments, the location is increasingly preferred by both
homebuyers and investors.

Supreme Rivana is located in
Punawale&#039;s most premium corridor, perfectly nestled between the Aundh-Ravet
BRTS road and the NH-48 Highway.

Within this evolving
micro-market, Supreme Rivana is designed to offer a differentiated living
experience through its emphasis on spatial planning, design detail and
community living.

Mr. Jumani added, &quot;Punawale&#039;s growth is being driven by strong
end-user demand, its proximity to Hinjewadi and Baner&#039;s employment hub, and
continuous infrastructure upgrades across the PCMC corridor. It has
demonstrated steady absorption and price appreciation, reflecting a healthy and
sustainable trajectory. As Pune expands westward, Punawale is increasingly
being preferred by homebuyers seeking better connectivity, larger living
spaces, and well-planned community developments.&quot;

The first phase will feature a mix of 2 &amp; 3 Bed residences,
towering up to 30 floors with multilevel parking.

With Supreme Rivana, Supreme Universal continues to build on its
philosophy of delivering spaces that combine functional elegance with long-term
value, while contributing to the evolving urban fabric of Pune.

About Supreme Universal

Founded in 1982, Supreme
Universal is a multifaceted real estate company offering luxury and
ultra-luxury developments for diverse customer segments across Mumbai and Pune.
The company was formed under the aegis of Mr. Ramesh Bijlani and Mr. Suresh
Jumani, with a shared vision of transforming living spaces with passion and
placing customer-centricity at the core of every project. Today, Sunny Bijlani
and Vishal Jumani, Joint Managing Directors, are carrying forward this legacy,
leading the business with the same singular purpose while setting new industry
benchmarks.

In its journey spanning over 45
years, Supreme Universal has steadily strengthened its presence across Mumbai
and Pune, delivering 81 landmark projects, all completed on time. The company
has developed over 10 million sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed spaces and
undertaken more than 40 redevelopment projects, while serving over 8,000 happy
families. Its extensive portfolio reflects a consistent commitment to design
excellence, enabling it to stay ahead of the curve in an evolving real estate
landscape.

With a strong emphasis on timely
delivery, quality construction, well-planned amenities and superior

<title>Turning Small Dreams into Powerful Futures: The Skill&amp;Driven Vision of Orchid University</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/turning-small-dreams-into-powerful-futures-the-skill-driven-vision-of-orchid-university</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Every big achievement begins quietly.
Sometimes a journey starts in a small-town classroom. Sometimes in a home where
opportunities are limited but ambition is not. And sometimes it begins with a
young person who simply refuses to let circumstances decide their future.

 

Across India, millions of students carry
dreams of learning more, doing more, and building a life that is different from
the one they were born into. But the reality is that dreams alone are rarely
enough. They need support, guidance, and an ecosystem that believes in them.

 

That belief is what gave birth to Orchid
University, built with the support of the Distil Group. Orchid University
was not imagined as just another institution granting degrees. It was
envisioned as a place where young people could turn determination into
direction and small aspirations into meaningful futures.

 

Today, the university stands as India’s first
value-driven, skill-based intergenerational university, built on the simple yet
powerful idea that education should change lives.

 

A Vision Born from Real Struggles

The story of Orchid University is deeply
personal and motivating: how big dreams can be achieved.

 

The founders of Orchid understand the
struggles that many students face because they lived through them. Coming from
a humble background, they experienced firsthand what it means to dream big
while facing financial limitations, uncertainty, and lack of opportunity.

 

Those experiences did not discourage them.
Instead, it shaped a vision. A vision where no young Indian with the will to
learn would ever feel held back by circumstance.

 

With the support and long-term educational
vision of the Distil Group, that idea began to take form. Orchid
University was created not simply as a place of learning but as a platform of
opportunity, especially for students who often feel education is beyond their
reach.

 

The goal was to build a university where
students could earn degrees and build confidence, independence, and purpose.

 

Knowledge with Industry Exposure

Many students graduate with degrees but still
feel unprepared for the real world. Orchid University is built to change that
reality. Instead of separating education from industry, the university
integrates the combination of both. Academic programs are designed alongside industry
leaders and sector experts so that students gain practical understanding along
with theoretical knowledge.

 

Today, Orchid University works with over
800 industry partners, ensuring that students are exposed to real work
environments early in their academic journey. This approach allows students to
learn by doing. They work on projects, engage with professionals, and begin to
understand how their skills can solve real-world challenges.

 

For many students, this is the first time
education feels connected to the life they want to build.

 

Earn Today. Graduate Tomorrow

One of the most meaningful aspects of Orchid
University’s philosophy is the idea that students should never feel financially
weak while pursuing education.

 

With the backing and commitment of the Distil
Group, the university has created opportunities for day-one internships
and paid training experiences. Students do not have to wait until
graduation to step into the professional world. Instead, they start learning,
earning, and growing from the beginning of their journey.

 

For some students, these opportunities help
support their families. For others, they provide the confidence that they can
stand on their own feet.

In many ways, this model transforms education
from a burden into a pathway toward independence.

 

Global Exposure with Indian Values

While Orchid University prepares students for
a global future, its foundation remains deeply rooted in Indian culture and
values.

 

The university proudly reflects three guiding
principles:

●       
Rooted in Indian Culture

●       
Powered by Industry

●       
Compassion at Its Core

 

Through the forward-looking vision of Distil
Group, Orchid University has also built collaborations with institutions in
more than ten countries, opening doors to international exposure and
cross-cultural learning.

 

Students gain insight into global industries,
emerging technologies, and international perspectives while staying connected
to the ethical and cultural values that shape responsible leadership.

 

When Kindness Became the Curriculum

What truly makes Orchid University different
is its academic model and the humanity woven into its campus life.

 

The university hosts both an orphanage and
an old-age home within its campus environment. Students interact regularly
with children who are growing up without families and elders who carry decades
of life experience. These interactions are deeply transformative.

 

Students learn empa ]]></description>

<title>Observation Skills: The Hidden Tool in Design Exam Preparation, Say Experts at Creative Edge by Toprankers</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/observation-skills-the-hidden-tool-in-design-exam-preparation-say-experts-at-creative-edge-by-toprankers</link>

<description><![CDATA[ In
a world increasingly driven by creativity and visual thinking, design entrance
exams like NATA, UCEED, and CEED have become gateways to some of India’s most
prestigious design institutes. With thousands of aspirants competing every year
for limited seats in institutions like IITs, NIDs, and top architecture
colleges, the question is no longer just about talent—it is about how
effectively students can observe, interpret, and translate the world around
them.

 

According
to experts at Creative
Edge by Toprankers, one of the leading
platforms for design preparation in India, observation skills are often
the most underrated yet powerful tool in cracking design entrance exams.

 

“Students
believe creativity is something you’re born with. In reality,
creativity is something you train—and observation is where that training
begins,” says a senior mentor at Creative Edge by Toprankers.

 

Why
Observation Matters More Than Talent

 

Design
exams are not just about drawing skills or imagination. They test how well a
student can:

·       Understand
real-world objects and environments 

·       Analyse
shapes, proportions, and perspectives 

·       Translate
ideas visually with clarity 

·       Solve
problems creatively 

 

In
exams like UCEED and CEED, the focus is heavily on visualisation,
logical reasoning, and design aptitude, while NATA evaluates
spatial ability, perspective drawing, and aesthetic sensitivity.

 

Data
from past exam trends shows that students who perform well are not necessarily
the best artists—but those who can observe details accurately and apply
them creatively.

 

This
is where observation becomes a game-changer.

 

The
Science Behind Observation and Creativity

 

Observation
is not passive—it is an active cognitive process.

 

When
students observe closely, they: 

·       Notice
patterns and structures 

·       Understand
relationships between objects 

·       Develop
spatial awareness 

·       Build
visual memory 

 

Research
in cognitive psychology suggests that creative thinking improves when
individuals engage deeply with their surroundings, rather than relying only
on imagination.

 

“Creativity
is not about creating something out of nothing. It is about connecting what you
see with what you know,” explains an expert at Creative Edge
by Toprankers.

 

How
Can I Improve My Creativity for Design Entrance Exams?

 

This
is one of the most common questions among students who feel they are “not
creative enough.”

 

According
to mentors at Creative Edge by Toprankers, creativity is not a fixed
trait—it is a skill that can be developed with consistent practice.

 

Here’s
how students can improve their creativity:

 

1.
Train Your Observation Daily

Start
noticing everyday objects—chairs, buildings, shadows, textures. Ask
yourself: Why does it look this way? How can it be redesigned? 

 

2.
Maintain a Visual Diary

Sketch
what you see daily. It doesn’t have to be perfect. The goal is to improve your
ability to capture details. 

 

3.
Break Objects into Basic Shapes

Design
exams often test your ability to simplify complex objects into basic forms like
cubes, cylinders, and spheres. 

 

4.
Explore Different Perspectives

Look
at the same object from multiple angles. This improves spatial understanding, which
is crucial for exams like NATA. 

 

5.
Solve Previous Year Questions

Past
papers help you understand how observation translates into exam
questions. 

 

6.
Engage with Design Around You

From
product packaging to architecture—analyse design in everyday life.

 

Students
enrolled in structured programs at Creative Edge by Toprankers often
report significant improvement in creativity because of guided exercises that
focus on observation and application.

 

How
Do I Think More Creatively for NATA/UCEED? 

 

Thinking
creatively is less about sudden inspiration and more about training your brain
to see possibilities.

 

Experts
at Creative Edge by Toprankers suggest the following approach:

·       Think
in Alternatives

Instead of accepting things as they are, ask: What
else could this be?

 

·       Combine
Unrelated Ideas

Innovation often comes from combining two different
concepts—like nature and technology.

 

·       Practice
Visualization

Close your eyes and imagine transforming an
object—changing its function, shape, or scale.

 

·       Focus
on Problem-Solving

Design exams often test creativity through
problem-solving scenarios. Train yourself to think of practical and innovative
solutions.

 

·       Limit
Overthinking

Many students struggle because they try to be
“perfect.” Creativity flows better when you allow yourself to experiment.

<description><![CDATA[ Sydney,
Australia | March 24, 2026 : The Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) Australia
convened a significant virtual meeting on Saturday, March 21, 2026, with Sam
Pitroda, Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, to deliberate on key
political developments, diaspora engagement, and future strategies for
strengthening the organisation’s outreach.

The meeting was led by Gurjinder Singh Gavy, President of the Indian
Overseas Youth Congress (IOYC) Australia, in coordination with the President of
IOC, Manoj Sheoran, and saw active participation from members of the
Indian diaspora across various Australian cities.

During the session, Pitroda shared his perspectives on the evolving political
landscape in India, with particular reference to the upcoming Kerala
elections and the broader national vision shaping the country’s
socio-political discourse. He highlighted the importance of sustained youth
engagement, global Indian participation, and strengthening democratic values
through inclusive political processes.

A key highlight of the meeting was the discussion around the proposed visit
of Rahul Gandhi to Australia, which participants described as a potential
landmark moment for the Indian diaspora community. The leadership team explored
engagement strategies and large-scale community outreach initiatives aimed at
ensuring meaningful participation during the anticipated visit.

The meeting also focused on several organisational priorities, including
strengthening the structure and outreach of IOC Australia, increasing youth
participation through IOYC Australia, expanding grassroots engagement within
the Indian community, and building stronger connections between India and the
global diaspora.

Speaking after the interaction, Gurjinder Singh Gavy said, “It was an honour
to interact with Sam Pitroda. His vision and guidance are truly inspiring for
all of us working towards empowering youth and strengthening the voice of the
Indian diaspora in Australia. We remain committed to taking IOC Australia to
new heights under his and Dr. Arathi Krishna’s leadership.”

The discussion concluded with a shared commitment among participants to
work collaboratively towards fostering a stronger, more connected, and
progressive global Indian community. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Powered by Writer Relocations, Glovve is
designed for scale, compliance and employee experience across inter-city and
intra-city relocations

●       
A curated, secure and paperless marketplace
designed for modern HR and administration teams

24th
March, 2026, Mumbai : Glovve, the enterprise relocation technology
platform from Writer Relocations, today announced the launch of its controlled
Open Bidding Marketplace for relocation partners. As organisations scale across
cities and adopt more distributed workforce models, employee relocation has
moved beyond logistics to become a defining moment in the employee experience.
This will help HR and Administration teams across enterprises to seamlessly
manage their employee mobility across India. 

Designed
and powered by Writer Relocations’ decades of relocation expertise, Glovve
combines industry knowledge with modern digital infrastructure to create a
structured, technology-governed marketplace that brings clarity, fairness and
confidence to relocation decisions. Curated and trained relocation partners
participate in an open bidding process governed by defined service, compliance
and performance parameters, allowing enterprises to balance competitiveness
with control without increasing operational burden.

“Relocation
is often one of the most stressful touchpoints in an employee’s journey, yet it
is still managed through fragmented and manual processes,” said Vishal Agarwal,
Regional Head – India &amp; GCC, Writer Relocations.

“With
Glovve, we are combining Writer Relocations’ decades of relocation expertise
with a technology-led marketplace model that brings structure, transparency and
predictability to a function that directly impacts employee trust. It allows HR
leaders to stay in control while the platform manages complexity in the
background,” he added.

Designed
exclusively for B2B corporate relocations, the platform supports both
corporate-paid and corporate-reimbursed programmes, managing inter-city and
intra-city moves across India. From household goods to vehicle relocations,
Glovve enables organisations to manage diverse mobility needs through a single,
integrated system, without losing visibility or governance.

For
relocation partners, Glovve creates a level playing field where opportunity is
driven by capability and performance, not proximity or preference. A dedicated
partner app digitises every step of the process, creating a transparent and
auditable trail that builds trust across stakeholders.

Underpinning
the platform is a secure, cloud-based and fully paperless infrastructure,
designed for enterprise reliability, data protection and sustainability.
Regular feature updates, continuous support and partner training ensure the
ecosystem evolves alongside organisational needs.

<title>Eurobond Opens Delhi Flagship Experience Centre, Shifting Architectural Sourcing from Desk Catalogues to Immersive Retail</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/eurobond-opens-delhi-flagship-experience-centre-shifting-architectural-sourcing-from-desk-catalogues-to-immersive-retail</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/eurobond-opens-delhi-flagship-experience-centre-shifting-architectural-sourcing-from-desk-catalogues-to-immersive-retail</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, 23, March 2026 : Eurobond, India’s only listed metal composite panel
brand and a pioneer in advanced architectural cladding,  has opened its
flagship Experience Centre in Kirti Nagar, New Delhi. The cladding industry has traditionally
relied on brief office visits by sales teams and flat catalogues featuring
small material samples. Eurobond raises the bar with the launch of this
facility which will provide a hands-on technically rich ‘playroom’ where
architects, developers, and facade consultants can see architectural cladding
systems like never before, accompanied by material experts to guide decisions.
Users will now walk in with a vision and walk out with a plan.

This launch represents a major strategic
milestone for the company&#039;s regional expansion. The Experience Centre is
specifically positioned to address the shifts in NCR’s architectural landscape,
and trends towards climatic sensitivities. On display are Eurobond’s famed
Louvers &amp; Fins - a dynamic product presented to capitalize on environmental
elements like the sun, wind &amp; rain, facilitating naturalized ventilation.
The center provides localized access to sustainable materials like ACP that are
100% recyclable at the end of their lifecycle. Eurobond anticipates this
targeted approach will act as a strong commercial catalyst, driving substantial
NCR business growth and accelerating its national expansion.

The centre houses over 300 designs across 30
distinct product ranges. Full sheet specimens of best selling products to
observe patterns, texture and material behaviour in light and shade, allowing
professionals to transition from traditional catalogues to direct material
evaluation. Showcasing this design versatility, the facility highlights
signature innovations like the engineered solid panel EURODUAL, which offers a distinct dual-face
capability, and the Midas Touch range, featuring unique gold-toned streaks for
high-end aesthetics. This physical setup enables users to examine the
structural integrity, colour consistency, and tactile finishes of the panels in
person.

Speaking on the strategic significance of the
launch, Mr Divyam Shah, Whole Time Director and CFO at Euro Panel Products
Limited, stated: “The Delhi Experience Centre represents a major strategic
milestone in Eurobond’s growth story. As India’s only listed metal composite
panel brand, we are aggressively expanding our footprint from the factory floor
to premium, experiential retail. This facility is a clear reflection of our
financial commitment to capturing the Northern market and solidifying our
position as the undisputed leader in the architectural cladding space.”

To support the technical accuracy required for
large-scale infrastructure projects, the materials presented are tested in the
company’s in-house lab certified by the NABL across 16 parameters for colour
and coil testing—making Eurobond this industry&#039;s only ACP brand to possess an
NABL accreditation for this kind of colour and coil testing. These are the same
tested materials currently specified across major national developments,
including Guwahati Airport, Kurnool Railway Station, the SBI Building in
Mumbai, and the Lucknow Police Bhawan. Locally, in the Delhi NCR region, the
brand&#039;s footprint is already anchored by prominent installations at Noida
International Airport (Jewar Airport), Thal Sena Bhawan (Indian Army
Headquarters), M3M Trump Towers Gurgaon, Amity University Noida, and M1 Trade
Tower Faridabad.

The Delhi launch serves as the catalyst for a
broader national retail strategy. To sustain its current market momentum,
Eurobond is targeting a brand growth rate of 15% for the next financial year.
To achieve this, the company plans multi-crore investments to expand its
footprint through 20 additional Experience Centers across key markets.
Concurrently, Eurobond is directing an additional 6-7 Crores toward product
line innovations, ensuring its portfolio continues to meet the evolving
technical demands of the Indian AEC sector.

About Eurobond:

Eurobond is a leading Metal Composite Panel
brand in India and the flagship of Euro Panel Products Limited. Commencing its
25th year of operation in 2026, it was among the first to introduce Aluminium
Composite Panels to India. The company operates a state-of-the-art factory in
Umbergaon, Gujarat, with an annual capacity of 10 million m². Recognized as a
One-Star Export House, Eurobond has a global presence in over 20 countries. In
2025, Euro Panel Products Limited became the first Indian ACP company to be
listed on the mainboards of the NSE and the BSE. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  New Delhi [India], March 23: As the creator economy matures, one of its least discussed challenges is operational overload. Influencers today are not just content producers; they are community managers, sales responders, negotiators, and customer support representatives, often all at once.For mid-to-large creators, direct messages can easily cross several hundred per day. These include follower queries, collaboration requests, repetitive FAQs, and brand inquiries. Sorting, prioritizing, and responding manually consumes hours that could otherwise be invested in content strategy, production, and audience growth.This is the gap that Creator Tag’s Swift Reply feature addresses.Swift Reply is designed to streamline direct communication by enabling creators to respond faster, organize inquiries efficiently, and reduce repetitive manual engagement. Instead of spending significant time drafting similar responses repeatedly, creators can structure their communication flow ensuring timely replies without compromising personalization. The impact extends beyond convenience.In an ecosystem where consistency determines growth, time becomes a strategic asset. When creators spend less time managing messages, they can focus on:Producing higher-quality contentExploring new formatsEngaging meaningfully with their audienceNegotiating partnerships more effectivelySwift Reply positions itself not as an automation gimmick, but as a workflow optimization layer within the creator economy. It acknowledges a simple truth: as audiences scale, manual communication becomes unsustainable.By reducing administrative load, Creator Tag enables influencers to operate more like structured digital businesses rather than overwhelmed individuals managing high-volume conversations.As monetization avenues expand - brand deals, affiliate partnerships, subscriptions and the ability to respond efficiently is no longer optional.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
India — March 23, 2026 : Skyesports, India’s leading esports and
gaming community plus IP builder, along with GodLike Esports, a premier esports
organization, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Maharashtra
Cyber, the nodal office under Government of Maharashtra for maintenance of
cyber security in the State of Maharashtra, to collaborate on promoting esports
and cyber hygiene practices across Maharashtra.

Sincere
gratitude is extended to Hon’ble Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for his
visionary leadership in fostering emerging sectors.

The
MoU aligns with Maharashtra’s broader push to strengthen the orange economy. As
India’s leading state economy, Maharashtra is well-positioned to drive the
growth of esports and digital gaming. This initiative marks a significant step
toward building a responsible esports ecosystem, with a strong emphasis on
cyber awareness and secure digital practices.

The
MoU was signed during a closed-door meeting in Mumbai and aims to strengthen
the state’s esports ecosystem while encouraging responsible online behaviour
and digital safety among gamers and youth. The collaboration will focus on
awareness initiatives, community engagement programmes, and the promotion of
safe and disciplined participation in esports.

Under
the agreement, the parties will work together to promote esports tournaments,
leagues, and community initiatives in Maharashtra while integrating cyber
hygiene messaging around online safety, prevention of cyberbullying and fraud,
data privacy awareness, and responsible digital conduct.

Through
the collaboration, Maharashtra Cyber will support cyber safety awareness
initiatives and promote responsible digital behaviour in esports. Skyesports
will organise and promote esports tournaments and related activities while
incorporating cyber hygiene messaging into its initiatives. Meanwhile, GodLike
will support the initiative through professional player engagement, mentorship,
and awareness programmes aimed at encouraging positive behaviour in gaming
communities.



Commenting
on the initiative, Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO of Skyesports, said: “The
growth of esports requires strong collaboration between the industry and
government stakeholders. This MoU with Maharashtra Cyber represents an
important step toward strengthening Maharashtra’s esports ecosystem through
responsible gaming initiatives and grassroots engagement. As India prepares to
compete at global events such as the Esports World Cup (EWC), Esports Nations
Cup (ENC), and the Asian Games 2026, partnerships like this will play a key
role in building a stronger pipeline of talent and opportunities for young
gamers. With GodLike Esports also joining the initiative, we aim to combine
competitive expertise and creator reach to drive deeper community engagement.
The MOU is a first-step towards solidifying Maharashtra as an esports hub
globally. ”

Yashasvi
Yadav, Additional Director General of Police, Maharashtra Cyber, said,
“As esports continues to grow rapidly among young audiences, it is equally
important to promote safe and responsible digital practices within the gaming
ecosystem. Through this collaboration with Skyesports and GodLike Esports, we
aim to raise awareness around cyber hygiene, online safety, and responsible
behaviour in gaming communities. Initiatives like these will help ensure that
the growth of esports in Maharashtra is supported by strong awareness of
cybersecurity, digital discipline, and safe online participation.”

Eyrie
Entertainment will be responsible for covering and supporting Cyber Department
activities across events and campaigns, specifically in relation to cyber
awareness initiatives, including amplifying outreach and engagement across

<title>From Lockers to Gold Loans: 90% Jump in Gold Loan Financing Powers India’s Credit Growth</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Have you
ever looked at the family jewellery sitting idle in your bank locker and
wondered if it could do more than just gather dust while you stress over cash flow?
You are certainly not alone in this scenario. Across India, many households and
small business owners are beginning to use the value of idle gold. Recent
market shifts have pushed gold loan
financing sharply higher, turning a traditional asset into a major source of
retail credit. For anyone facing a cash crunch, planning a business expense, or
trying to manage costly debt, understanding this shift has become important.

 

The
Mathematics Behind the Borrowing Boom

Why is there
a sudden, massive rush to monetise physical gold? The answer lies in the highly
profitable intersection of rising asset values and tightening unsecured credit
markets. When you evaluate the gold rate today,
it sits at historical, record-breaking highs. This upward trajectory means the
underlying value of your collateral has ballooned significantly. A few years
ago, 50 grams of gold might have fetched a modest sum to cover a minor
emergency; today, that exact same quantity unlocks deep capital reserves.
Lenders are now able to offer substantially more money against the exact same
asset, giving you unprecedented liquidity without forcing you to sell off your
precious family heirlooms.

 

Busting the
2026 Myths Around Pledging Gold

Despite the surging mainstream
popularity of secured lending, certain outdated misconceptions still hold
everyday decision-makers back. Clear the air with facts grounded in current
financial reality:

●     
Myth
1: Pledging assets means you are in severe financial distress.

o   Reality: Smart money utilizes secured credit to lower borrowing
costs. Small business owners and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)
are increasingly leveraging a gold loan as a strategic, everyday tool for
working capital because it is drastically cheaper and faster than securing a
traditional commercial loan.

●     
Myth
2: You risk losing your items over minor payment delays.

o   Reality: Regulated, organized lenders want your ongoing interest
payments, not your jewellery. Flexible repayment structures allow you to comfortably
pay just the interest during the loan tenure and settle the principal amount at
the very end.

●     
Myth
3: The borrowing rates are predatory.

o   Reality: Because the funds are fully secured by a highly liquid,
universally valued asset, the gold loan interest rate you receive is highly
competitive, because you are leveraging a high-value asset, your gold loan
interest rate is highly optimized, offering a much more efficient cost
structure than other high-interest borrowing options.

 

Why Gold is
the Most Efficient Liquidity Tool

In the current 2026 financial
landscape, the speed of capital is just as important as the capital itself.
Unlike other credit forms that require extensive documentation and credit
history checks, a gold loan is an asset-backed solution. This means the
approval is based on the value of the gold you hold, making it the fastest way
to bridge a gap in business cash flow or handle an urgent family requirement
without any end-use restrictions.

 

Why the
Right Financial Partner Matters

When you hand over your family&#039;s
most cherished assets or your business&#039;s safety net, trust is not just a
corporate buzzword; it is the entire foundation of the financial transaction.
You need a partner that perfectly combines institutional stability with
customer-centric flexibility. This is precisely why veteran financial advisors
often recommend prioritizing established, specialized networks over unorganized
local players. For instance, institutions like Muthoot Finance, one of India’s
largest gold loan providers, offer the distinct advantage of a massive
operational legacy. When dealing with an entity of this scale, your assets are
secured by institutional-grade protocols rather than treated as a quick,
informal transaction. With a formidable, regulated network of over 7,500
branches, their sheer operational scale translates directly into
state-of-the-art secure vaulting, specialized asset handling, and highly streamlined,
structured loan disbursal processes for you.

Furthermore,
relying on a regulated financial institution like Muthoot Finance completely
shields you from the opaque, often risky practices of unorganized local
lenders. Whether you require a quick micro-loan to bridge a medical emergency
or a high-value disbursement to stock up on seasonal business inventory, they
offer tailored schemes designed to provide loan options based on the prevailing
gold rate. Their long operating history offers borrowers institutional
reliability, that everyday borrowers and seasoned business owners can rely on
without a second thought.

<description><![CDATA[ Gurugram,
India | March 2026  : India’s honey
market is witnessing a significant transformation, driven by rising health
awareness, increasing demand for natural sweeteners, and a shift away from
refined sugar. Industry estimates suggest that the domestic honey market is
poised to surpass INR 4,000 crore by 2027, fueled by growing consumer
preference for clean-label, nutrient-rich food products. At the forefront of
this evolution is Honeyman Foods Pvt. Ltd., a fast-emerging player redefining how India consumes honey and
honey-based products.

A
Sweet Shift Towards Healthier Living 
With lifestyle diseases and sugar-related health concerns on the rise, Indian
consumers are increasingly adopting honey as a natural alternative. Honey’s
well-documented benefits—ranging from immunity support to antioxidant
properties—have positioned it as a staple in modern wellness-focused
households. Capitalizing on this shift, Honeyman has built its brand around
100% pure, raw, and naturally sourced honey, directly procured from Indian
beekeepers to ensure quality and authenticity.

Strong
Legacy Meets Unprecedented Scale &amp; Infrastructure 
Backed by a legacy of beekeeping and honey production spanning generations,
Honeyman combines traditional expertise with modern processing and distribution
capabilities. The company sources honey from multiple regions across India,
including Punjab, Jammu &amp; Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar
Pradesh, ensuring a rich variety of flavors and floral origins.

Today,
Honeyman is rapidly expanding its offline presence through experiential retail
formats such as honey cafés and franchise outlets. Approaching 150 franchise
locations, the brand has set an aggressive mission to reach 1,000 stores globally
by the end of 2026. To seamlessly support this massive expansion, Honeyman has
built a formidable, self-sustaining operational engine. The company operates
its own state-of-the-art factory for in-house production and is powered by a
robust workforce of over 100 direct and indirect staff. This end-to-end
ecosystem includes dedicated, in-house teams for franchise development,
AI-driven marketing, daily operations, comprehensive support, and specialized
interior design. Additionally, its franchise-driven model is attracting
entrepreneurs looking to tap into the fast-growing health food segment.

Beyond
Honey: Building the &quot;World of Honeyman&quot; Ecosystem 
Unlike conventional brands that focus solely on packaged honey, Honeyman has
expanded into a diverse portfolio of honey-infused products. As part of the
broader &quot;World of Honeyman&quot; ecosystem, which features verticals like
Melifera beauty products and the Little Bee youth brand, the company offers a
wide range including:

●      
Raw,
organic, and single-origin honey varieties

●      
Honey-based
spreads, sauces, and beverages

●      
Honey-based
ice creams (a premium, refined-sugar-free dessert alternative)

●      
Ayurvedic
wellness products and nutraceuticals

●      
Honey-infused
personal care solutions

This
diversified approach reflects the brand’s larger vision: replacing refined
sugar with honey across food categories.

Driving
India’s Honey Revolution Globally 
As India’s natural food movement gains momentum, Honeyman is playing a key role
in shaping consumer perception around honey—not just as a sweetener, but as a
functional superfood. Honeyman currently exports its products to key
international markets including the United States, UAE, and the United Kingdom,
along with a growing presence across several other global regions.

“With consumers becoming more conscious about what they consume, we
see honey transitioning from a traditional ingredient to a daily health
essential,” said Shahzada Singh Kapoor, Founder, Honeyman Foods Pvt. Ltd. “Our vision is to make honey a mainstream alternative to refined
sugar, while supporting India’s beekeeping ecosystem and delivering globally
competitive products. By offering a fully integrated, turnkey
ecosystem—complete with in-house support from factory production to storefront
design—we are actively inviting visionary entrepreneurs and global partners to
build the future of wellness alongside us.”

About
Honeyman 
Headquartered in Gurugram, Honeyman Foods Pvt. Ltd. is an India-based honey and
honey-products company committed to delivering pure, natural, and
health-focused offerings. With a growing team of 100+ direct and indirect
employees, the company is built on a strong beekeeping heritage and emphasizes

Industry estimates suggest that the domestic honey market is poised to surpass INR 4,000 crore by 2027, fueled by growing consumer preference for clean-label, nutrient-rich food products.

<title>How Rising Prices are Driving a Boom in India’s Gold Loan sector in 2026</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/how-rising-prices-are-driving-a-boom-in-indias-gold-loan-sector-in-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ You are likely watching the
daily financial updates and noticing something staggering: the value of your
family jewellery is breaking historical records. With gold price reaching record highs in 2026, that gold sitting idly in
your home safe is no longer just a nostalgic heirloom or a passive safety net.
It is a highly active, high-performing financial asset. If you find yourself
needing sudden working capital for your small enterprise or immediate liquidity
for a family milestone, you might be asking how to unlock this wealth through a
structured gold loan interest rate without selling your ornaments.

The
Background: A Shift in Borrowing Power

The lending
environment for gold loan has
changed drastically this year. While unsecured credit lines and personal
borrowing are becoming noticeably harder to secure due to tighter banking
regulations and stringent credit requirements, the secured lending space is
experiencing a massive 42% year-on-year expansion. The reason for this boom is
remarkably simple and directly benefits you. The surge in gold prices has
significantly increased borrowing potential, creating a unique window of
opportunity for everyday borrowers and entrepreneurs alike.

 

Why the 2026
Market Dynamics Work Directly in Your Favor

When the
gold price India reaches new historical peaks, the underlying value of your
pledged collateral skyrockets alongside it. Think about your current physical
assets. Just a few short years ago, pledging a standard 50-gram bridal necklace
would yield a relatively modest sum, perhaps just enough to cover a minor
financial shortfall. Today, that exact same piece of jewellery qualifies you
for a significantly larger credit line. You are essentially getting more money
in your hands to fuel your ambitions, without having to purchase new assets or
put your home on the line.

Here is exactly what you stand
to gain by leveraging this specific trend right now:

●     
Maximized
Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratios:
Regulatory bodies have structured guidelines to help you access up to 75% of your jewellery’s market value under regulatory
guidelines, of your jewellery’s real-time market
value.

●     
Total
Insulation from Credit Scores:
If your Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited (CIBIL) score took a hit
recently due to a missed credit card payment or economic turbulence, you do not
need to worry. Your approved loan amount is dictated entirely by the weight and
tested purity of your collateral, completely bypassing your past credit
history.

●     
Immediate
Business Capital: You can
literally walk into a branch and walk out with funds in under an hour. This
lets you completely bypass the exhausting multi week paperwork process
typically associated with traditional business financing.

 

Finding a
Partner, You Can Actually Trust

When you hand over your personal
wealth, you are not merely looking for a quick cash injection; you are looking
for absolute peace of mind. The safety, security, and ethical handling of your
physical assets should be your absolute top priority. You need a lending
partner with an airtight, verifiable track record in the industry.

This is exactly why you should
look toward an established Financial Institution like Muthoot Finance. Rather
than gambling your family&#039;s legacy with newly surfaced, unproven fintech
applications that completely lack physical infrastructure, partnering with
Muthoot Finance guarantees that your physical assets are stored safely in
high-security, fully insured vaults. They have spent decades building a
massive, reliable branch network that prioritizes transparent, in-person
valuation. This means you see exactly how your jewellery is weighed, tested,
and assessed right in front of your own eyes. You want a partner with a
long-standing legacy of returning assets safely and securely, and which aligns
with these requirements.

 

Tips &amp;
Caveats: Busting the Biggest Borrowing Myths in 2026

Even with the obvious financial
benefits laid out, you might still harbour some deep-seated reservations. It is
time to clear up the most common, outdated misunderstandings circulating in the
market this year:

●     
Myth
1: You automatically lose your jewellery if you miss a single payment.

o   The Reality: Reputable lenders want to collect their interest, not
auction off your family heirlooms. A responsible Financial Institution like
Muthoot Finance will proactively work with you to restructure your timeline or
offer standard renewal options if you face a temporary, unexpected cash crunch.

●     
Myth
2: A gold loan is strictly for rural or agricultural emergencies.

o   The Reality: In 2026, urban Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises
(MSME) owners, tech gig workers, and self-employed professionals are the
primary drivers of this sector&#039;s massive growth. You are in excellent,
forward-thinking company if you use this financial to ]]></description>

<title>What Actually Makes a Good Holiday? Insights from 5,000+ Couples, Backed by 30 Sundays</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/what-actually-makes-a-good-holiday-insights-from-5000-couples-backed-by-30-sundays</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/what-actually-makes-a-good-holiday-insights-from-5000-couples-backed-by-30-sundays</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ There
is no doubt that meaningful experiences are taking precedence over generic
ones. Every travel article is talking about this. So we will not. Today, we are
sharing 5 unique insights that make a vacation more enjoyable.

At
30 Sundays, we often ask ourselves what makes a vacation better for our
audience. And nerds that we are (our founders come from IIT, IIM, and Apple),
we decided to analyse more than 50 input metrics that actually lead to a better
experience.

We
discovered 5 unique insights that every couple can use to make their trip more
enjoyable:

●       
Add diversity to your trip

●       
Know your &quot;Vacation Pace&quot; preference

●       
Popular spots are crowded (as expected), so
balance them with hidden gems

●       
Balance your activity time and travel time

●       
Spend at least 3 nights in each city you visit

Add
Diversity to Your Trip

One
of our top findings is the value of combining a mix of experiences. Trips built
around a single type of experience tend to lose their charm sooner than
expected.

There
is a common misconception when planning a trip. Couples are often asked to
choose whether they are a &quot;beach couple&quot; or a &quot;mountain
couple.&quot; But repeating the same setting every day can start to feel
monotonous.

A
balanced itinerary brings together different moods: a relaxed beach day, followed
by a gentle hike, a cultural experience, or a nature walk. Our data shows that
trips with a mix of experiences consistently receive higher post-trip
satisfaction compared to those focused on a single setting.

As
one of our travellers, Shyam, shared after his Bali trip:

&quot;Every
day felt different. One day we were diving, the next we were exploring temples
and waterfalls. It never felt repetitive.&quot;

Adding
diversity to your trip is what separates a good holiday from a great one.

Know
Your &quot;Vacation Pace&quot; Preference

The
second most important factor that shapes the experience is how well the trip&#039;s
pace matches your own.

We
discovered two broad pace preferences among our customers:

Fast-paced:
&quot;Cover as much as possible - ek hi baar toh jaayenge.&quot; If this
sounds like you, you&#039;d typically want full-day tours each day to make the most
of your trip. We see younger couples and highly active, adventure-seeking
couples fall into this category.

Slow-paced:
&quot;I&#039;m taking this trip to relax and recharge.&quot; If this
resonates, you&#039;re likely looking for half-day tours or leisure days between
more active ones.

The
issue is rarely the pace itself, it&#039;s the lack of clarity around it. Knowing
your body and what kind of trip you want is what leads to maximum enjoyment.

From
our experience, a well-curated trip sets the pace clearly from the start. We
make sure the itinerary reflects how the couple actually wants to spend their
time, not just what they want to see.

Popular
Spots Are Crowded — Plan Accordingly

Everyone
wants to visit the famous spots, but they often come with crowds and long wait
times. They may look stunning in photos, but the on-ground experience can feel
very different.

Couples
are becoming increasingly aware of this gap. They now prefer a more balanced
approach and so do we. Visit a few well-known places at the right time, and
pair them with hidden gems for a quieter, more personal experience.

&quot;One
thing we really appreciated was that many of the places we visited weren&#039;t
packed with other travellers. We could enjoy the views and spend time together
without feeling rushed,&quot; says Priyadarshini and Adarsh.

Our
analysis consistently shows that these quieter moments end up being the most
memorable.

Balancing
Activity and Travel Time

Spending
most of a trip on the road is rarely what travellers sign up for. An itinerary
may look great on paper, but the experience shifts when a large part of each
day is spent in transit.

Travelling
two to three hours for an activity that lasts only a few minutes is rarely
worthwhile. Our data shows that couples are paying closer attention to this
ratio, evaluating not just the activity itself, but the effort required to get
there.

At
30 Sundays, we always ensure that the time spent travelling is justified by the
experience at the other end. This reduces travel fatigue and creates more room
to actually enjoy the destination.

In
simple terms: a good holiday means less time on the road and more time in the
moment.

Spend
3 Nights in Each City

Hopping
between cities frequently might let you cover more ground, but it rarely lets
you truly experience a destination.

Packing,
travelling, checking in, and adjusting to a new place every day can quickly
become exhausting  and leaves little time
to settle in and soak things in.

From
our analysis, 3 nights is the magic number. It gives you enough time to enjoy
each city meaningfully while still covering 2–3 cities on a 7–9 day trip.

This Means for Modern Cou ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">There is no doubt that meaningful experiences are taking precedence over generic ones. Every travel article is talking about this. So we will not. Today, we are sharing 5 unique insights that make a vacation more enjoyable.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">At 30 Sundays, we often ask ourselves what makes a vacation better for our audience. And nerds that we are (our founders come from IIT, IIM, and Apple), we decided to analyse more than 50 input metrics that actually lead to a better experience.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">We discovered 5 unique insights that every couple can use to make their trip more enjoyable:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN"><span>●<span>        </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN">Add diversity to your trip</span></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Add Diversity to Your Trip</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">One of our top findings is the value of combining a mix of experiences. Trips built around a single type of experience tend to lose their charm sooner than expected.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">There is a common misconception when planning a trip. Couples are often asked to choose whether they are a "beach couple" or a "mountain couple." But repeating the same setting every day can start to feel monotonous.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">A balanced itinerary brings together different moods: a relaxed beach day, followed by a gentle hike, a cultural experience, or a nature walk. Our data shows that trips with a mix of experiences consistently receive higher post-trip satisfaction compared to those focused on a single setting.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">As one of our travellers, Shyam, shared after his Bali trip:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN">"Every day felt different. One day we were diving, the next we were exploring temples and waterfalls. It never felt repetitive."</span></i></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Adding diversity to your trip is what separates a good holiday from a great one.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Know Your "Vacation Pace" Preference</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The second most important factor that shapes the experience is how well the trip's pace matches your own.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">We discovered two broad pace preferences among our customers:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Fast-paced:</span></b><span lang="EN"> <i>"Cover as much as possible - ek hi baar toh jaayenge."</i> If this sounds like you, you'd typically want full-day tours each day to make the most of your trip. We see younger couples and highly active, adventure-seeking couples fall into this category.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Slow-paced:</span></b><span lang="EN"> <i>"I'm taking this trip to relax and recharge."</i> If this resonates, you're likely looking for half-day tours or leisure days between more active ones.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The issue is rarely the pace itself, it's the lack of clarity around it. Knowing your body and what kind of trip you want is what leads to maximum enjoyment.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">From our experience, a well-curated trip sets the pace clearly from the start. We make sure the itinerary reflects how the couple actually wants to spend their time, not just what they want to see.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Popular Spots Are Crowded — Plan Accordingly</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Everyone wants to visit the famous spots, but they often come with crowds and long wait times. They may look stunning in photos, but the on-ground experience can feel very different.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Couples are becoming increasingly aware of this gap. They now prefer a more balanced approach and so do we. Visit a few well-known places at the right time, and pair them with hidden gems for a quieter, more personal experience.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN">"One thing we really appreciated was that many of the places we visited weren't packed with other travellers. We could enjoy the views and spend time together without feeling rushed,"</span></i><span lang="EN"> says Priyadarshini and Adarsh.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Our analysis consistently shows that these quieter moments end up being the most memorable.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Balancing Activity and Travel Time</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Spending most of a trip on the road is rarely what travellers sign up for. An itinerary may look great on paper, but the experience shifts when a large part of each day is spent in transit.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Travelling two to three hours for an activity that lasts only a few minutes is rarely worthwhile. Our data shows that couples are paying closer attention to this ratio, evaluating not just the activity itself, but the effort required to get there.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">At 30 Sundays, we always ensure that the time spent travelling is justified by the experience at the other end. This reduces travel fatigue and creates more room to actually enjoy the destination.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In simple terms: a good holiday means less time on the road and more time in the moment.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Spend 3 Nights in Each City</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Hopping between cities frequently might let you cover more ground, but it rarely lets you truly experience a destination.</span></p>

<title>Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate launches a new project at Santacruz East, Mumbai</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai,
March 23, 2026: Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate (SPRE), one of
India’s most trusted real estate developers, today announced the launch of Nine
Arcs, a premium residential development in Santacruz East, Mumbai.

Conceptualised
as a design-first address, Nine Arcs is a 14-storey residential tower
that introduces a distinctive architectural language inspired by European
neo-classical principles, reinterpreted for contemporary urban living. The
design draws from classical elements such as symmetry, proportion, and visual
rhythm, expressed through a modern lens to create a timeless and elegant
façade.

A
defining feature of the development is its signature curved elevation, shaped
by a series of expansive, thoughtfully designed decks that extend across
multiple residences. These spacious decks are not only functional outdoor
spaces but also integral architectural elements that collectively form the
project’s iconic arc silhouette—creating a sense of movement and depth while
offering residents a more immersive connection with the outdoors.

Spread
across approximately 0.5 acres, Nine Arcs will comprise 137 residential
units and 9 commercial units. The development offers 2- and 3-bed residences,
with sizes ranging from approximately 671 square feet to 1338 square feet, each
complemented by generous private decks that enhance natural light, ventilation,
and everyday comfort. 

The
commercial units range from approximately 217 square feet to 1401 square feet,
offering a curated mix of retail and convenience-led spaces. Residences are
priced from INR 2.99 crore onwards.

The
project also integrates curated ground-level retail, designed to provide
residents with everyday convenience while maintaining a seamless and private
residential experience.

Strategically
located in Santacruz East, one of Mumbai’s most centrally connected
micro-markets, Nine Arcs offers excellent access to key infrastructure,
including the Western Express Highway, Santacruz-Chembur Link Road, metro
connectivity, and close proximity to Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC)—the city’s
leading business hub. Its central positioning enables seamless connectivity to
both South Mumbai and the western suburbs, making it a highly attractive
residential destination for professionals and business leaders.

Commenting
on the launch, Mr Sriram Mahadeva, CEO of Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate and
MD of Joyville Shapoorji Housing, said, “With Nine Arcs, we are
introducing a development that brings together architectural distinction,
thoughtful design, and everyday functionality. Santacruz East continues to
emerge as a high-potential micro-market, driven by its central location and
strong demand from discerning homebuyers. Through this launch, we aim to offer
a living experience that reflects both aspiration and long-term value.&quot;

The
development will feature curated lifestyle amenities, thoughtfully designed
across the rooftop and podium levels. Designed to deliver a holistic lifestyle
experience, the project is anchored by a curated rooftop ecosystem that
includes an infinity-edge swimming pool, sky bar, rooftop jogging track,
multipurpose lawn, barbecue areas, kids’ play zones, and dedicated leisure
spaces, creating an elevated environment for relaxation and social engagement.

Santacruz
East has witnessed sustained residential demand, driven by its proximity to
BKC, established social infrastructure, and limited availability of
large-format branded developments. The micro-market continues to attract senior
professionals, entrepreneurs, and long-term investors, backed by healthy rental
yields and consistent capital appreciation.

With
Nine Arcs, SPRE further strengthens its presence in Mumbai’s premium
residential segment, continuing its legacy of delivering design-led,
well-connected and future-ready developments across high-potential urban
markets. 

During
this quarter, the company also launched four projects across key growth
markets, including MMR (Mulund, Thane), Pune, and Howrah.

<title>Root2Leaf Organic Leads Export of Premium Makhana to China, Strengthening India’s Global Superfood Presence</title>

<description><![CDATA[ In a landmark development for India’s
agricultural export sector, Root2Leaf Organic has successfully exported 5
metric tons of premium Makhana (fox nuts) from India to China, marking a
significant milestone in the international journey of one of India’s most
valued traditional superfoods.

The export represents a growing
global interest in plant‑based, nutrient‑rich foods and highlights the increasing
role of organized supply chains in connecting Indian farmers with international
markets.

The shipment was flagged off from the
Inland Container Depot (ICD), Bihar, in Patna, in the presence of Hon’ble
Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Ram Kripal Yadav. Senior officials
from APEDA (Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development
Authority), COFFED (Bihar State Fishermen Cooperative Federation Ltd.), and
representatives from the makhana industry ecosystem were also present during the
ceremony.

The consignment, packed in two
40‑foot Cube containers, carried export‑grade Makhana (fox nuts) destined for
China, reflecting the rising international demand for India’s clean‑label and
traditional food ingredients.

A Strategic Step for India’s Superfood Exports

Makhana, commonly known as fox nuts
or lotus seeds, has been cultivated for generations in the wetlands of Bihar.
The Mithila region — particularly districts such as Darbhanga, Madhubani,
Katihar, Supaul, Purnea, and Araria — is globally recognized as the primary
production hub for high‑quality makhana. The region accounts for nearly 90 per
cent of India’s total production, making it the backbone of the country’s
makhana industry.

Known for its bright whiteness, large
kernel size, and excellent popping quality, Mithila Makhana has earned a
reputation as a premium product among international buyers. Nutritionally,
makhana is rich in protein, fibre, and antioxidants while naturally low in fat,
making it increasingly popular among health‑conscious consumers seeking
nutritious and plant‑based snack options.

As global markets continue to shift
toward clean‑label foods and natural ingredients, makhana is emerging as a
promising contender in the global superfood category. Industry observers believe
that with the right supply chain infrastructure and export networks, India has
the potential to become a dominant player in the international fox nut market.

Root2Leaf Organic Driving Global Market Access

The export initiative was led by Root2Leaf Organic, a Gujarat‑based certified organic
company that focuses on developing global supply chains for India’s traditional
agricultural and wellness products. Over the years, Root2Leaf has built a
reputation for connecting farmers, sourcing partners, and processors with
international buyers while maintaining strong quality standards and responsible
sourcing practices.

The company works across multiple
categories, including Ayurvedic herbs, spices, wellness ingredients,
superfoods, and specialty agricultural commodities. Through its export network,
Root2Leaf currently supplies products to clients across more than ten
countries, providing services such as bulk ingredient supply, brand packaging,
and private labelling for international food brands.

By focusing on traceability, quality
standardization, product research, development and global market development,
Root2Leaf aims to position Indian‑origin natural products as premium offerings
in the international food and wellness industries.

The makhana export to China
represents one of the company’s ongoing efforts to expand the reach of India’s
traditional agricultural strengths in global markets.

Strengthening
the Farm‑to‑Export Ecosystem | MeraKisan India

A key aspect of the export project
was the establishment of a structured sourcing and logistics network that
connects farmers directly with export markets. For this initiative, Root2Leaf
worked closely with Mera Kisan India, a platform focused on organized sourcing
of makhana from Bihar’s producing regions.

Mera Kisan coordinated procurement
operations and supply chain management by working with farmer groups, local
aggregators, and processing units across Bihar. Among India’s growing community
of makhana exporters, MeraKisan is one of Bihar’s leading suppliers of fox nuts
(lotus seeds), serving international markets. Mera Kisan is a trusted B2B Supplier and
private-label partner for flavoured Makhana (Phool Makhana / Foxnuts), offering
25+ customizable flavour variants tailored for international snack markets.

This collaboration of farmers, Mera
Kisan Platform, which is associated with Root2Leaf Organic, helped streamline
the movement of export‑grade makhana from farms to processing centres and
ultimately to the export logistics chain.

Through this integrated approach,
Root2Leaf was able to build a reliable farm‑to‑export supply system by giving
digital platform or Mera Kisan to build a global connect ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Empowering Farmers and Rural Communities</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>For thousands of farmers across Bihar’s wetland regions, makhana cultivation represents a vital source of livelihood. Traditionally grown in ponds and water bodies, the crop requires specialised knowledge and labour-intensive harvesting techniques that have been preserved through generations of farming communities.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Expanding global demand for makhana has the potential to significantly improve farmer incomes while stimulating economic activity in rural areas. Industry experts believe that strengthening export channels can encourage investment in processing infrastructure, quality control systems, and farmer training programs across makhana‑producing districts.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Industry Perspective</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Commenting on the milestone, Dr Dipak Patel, Managing Director of Root2Leaf Organic, emphasized the long‑term vision behind the initiative.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>“This export represents much more than a shipment. It reflects the collective effort of farmers, sourcing partners, and supply chain stakeholders who are working together to bring India’s traditional superfoods to global consumers.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Our vision is to position Makhana (fox nuts, also known as lotus seed) as a globally recognized premium superfood while building sustainable supply chains that create long‑term value for farmers. By connecting regional agricultural strengths with international markets, we aim to strengthen India’s presence in the global health and speciality food sector while creating new economic opportunities for rural communities.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>India’s Opportunity in the Global Superfood Economy</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The successful export of Makhana to China signals India’s growing capacity to compete in the global speciality food market. As consumer demand for natural, nutritious foods continues to rise, traditional ingredients such as makhana are gaining attention from international food brands and health‑focused retailers.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>With GI recognition for Mithila Makhana, improved quality control practices, and expanding exporter networks, the industry is gradually transitioning from a traditional agricultural activity into a structured global superfood sector.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Initiatives led by companies such as Root2Leaf Organic demonstrate how organized sourcing, farmer collaboration, and export expertise can transform regional agricultural products into globally recognized food ingredients. As international awareness grows, Makhana is poised to become one of India’s most promising agricultural exports in the years ahead.</span></p>

<title>BEYOND THE SWITCH: NO POWER PURE MAGIC BY KARISHMA</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/beyond-the-switch-no-power-pure-magic-by-karishma</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/beyond-the-switch-no-power-pure-magic-by-karishma</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As
the clock strikes 8:30 PM this Saturday, March 28, a wave of darkness will
sweep across the globe. From the Eiffel tower to our very own Hawa Mahal,
iconic landmarks dim their lights for sixty minutes.

But
Earth Hour has grown into something much larger than a symbolic flick of a
switch. In 2026, as we juggle between hyper-connectivity and climate shifts,
this hour isn&#039;t just about saving electricity but more importantly can be about
reconnecting with ourselves, our families, and the planet. In an era of 24/7
notifications and always-active culture, 60 minutes of pure and unadulterated
darkness is the new ultimate luxury. When the lights go out, the artificial
pressure to be ‘productive’ or ‘online’ vanishes.

 

Here
is how you can transform one hour of darkness into a meaningful tradition for
your home:

 

1.The ‘Digital Detox’ Challenge 

We
often sit in the dark during Earth Hour only to stare at the glowing blue light
of our smartphones. This year, challenge your household to a Total Tech
Blackout. The simple rule should be no phones, no tablets, no Netflix. You&#039;ll
notice how your stress levels drop when the ‘pings’ stops. And then we get to
notice and actually hear the sounds of the city and the wind in the trees.
 

2.A Circle of Magic 

People
blessed with open terraces and beautiful balconies can utilize this rarest time
of the year when ‘light pollution’ dips just enough to see the stars more
clearly. Grab a mat and accompany the children to spot Orion or the Great Bear.
Sit in a circle with a candle, for the kids this is pure magic and no less than
a campsite. Since Ram Navami is just a few days away, we can tell them the
story of Lord Rama, the original superhero. You can share his tales of courage,
his monkey army or the legendary bravery of ancient kings. In the dark these
stories feel more alive, sparking an imagination that no TV show can match.

 

3.The ‘Eco Menu’ Dinner


Why
use the microwave or gas stove? Make Earth Hour a ‘Cold-Prep’ night. Since we
aren&#039;t using electricity, we can focus on fresh, easy to assemble meals that
feel like a picnic for instance fresh sprouted salads, sandwiches, or even a
simple fruit cream. For the preparations we can suggest the older kids to try a
‘DIY Sandwich Bar’ or a ‘Salad Station’. Let them wash the veggies and assemble
their own plates using only the light of candle, it saves energy and teaches
them that a great meal doesn&#039;t always need a plug point. It is about the
ingredients and the people sitting around the candle. Also eating in a low
light increases your sense of taste and smell. 
 

4.Setting the ‘Green Resolution’  

Using
this hour to pick one ‘Green resolution’ for the rest of 2026. Whether it&#039;s
swapping your plastic bottles for steel ones, starting a tiny kitchen garden
with a single pot of mint or chilies or committing to ‘no gadget&#039; for half an
hour after waking up. These small daily choices turn a habit into a yearlong legacy
for the planet.

 

The
‘luxury’ of Darkness

As
we celebrate 20 years of Earth Hour, the goal has shifted from just ‘Switching
Off’ to ‘giving an hour’. Whether you are stargazing, meditating, or teaching
your kids how a single reusable bottle can save a thousand plastic ones, you
are joining a global tide of hope.

When
the lights come back on at 9:30 PM, the goal isn&#039;t to go back to ‘normal’. It
is to carry that spark of a new Green Resolution into our daily lives. By
involving our children in these small habits today, we aren&#039;t just saving
electricity for an hour but we are planting the seeds of a cleaner, greener,
world for their entire future.

You can share his tales of courage, his monkey army or the legendary bravery of ancient kings. In the dark these stories feel more alive, sparking an imagination that no TV show can match.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Digitizes 75 substations with EcoStruxure™
Grid, reduces power interruption time by 30%, enabling smarter, safer and more
sustainable power distribution in Western Odisha

23rd
March 2026, New Delhi : Schneider Electric,
a global energy technology leader, has partnered with Tata Power Western
Odisha Distribution Limited (TPWODL), a joint venture between Tata Power
and the Government of Odisha, to modernize and digitize power distribution
infrastructure across Western Odisha. As part of this strategic engagement,
Schneider Electric has digitized 75 substations using its EcoStruxure™ Grid
architecture, enabling end-to-end visibility and intelligent control across the
distribution network.

delivering safe, reliable, and uninterrupted electricity to the region. This
partnership has already resulted in a 30 percent reduction in power
interruption time, with a roadmap to achieve up to 70 percent improvement
through continued digital optimization. Consumers across Western Odisha are
already experiencing fewer outages, quicker restoration times, and more stable
voltage supply for homes and businesses.

Commenting
on the partnership, Deepak Sharma, Zone President- Greater India, MD &amp;
CEO, Schneider Electric India, said, “India’s power distribution sector
is at a pivotal inflection point where reliability, sustainability, and digital
intelligence must converge. Our partnership with Tata Power Western Odisha
Distribution Limited reflects how an energy technology leader like Schneider
Electric can help fundamentally transform utility operations. By deploying
EcoStruxure™ Grid and digitizing 75 substations through a standardized model,
we’ve enabled faster implementation, real-time network intelligence, and
measurable operational gains. This digital grid architecture is reducing
outages, enhancing transparency, and strengthening operational safety,
ultimately helping build a resilient, future‑ready distribution network that
supports India’s broader energy transition goals.”

As
ageing infrastructure and rising demand began to challenge grid reliability,
Schneider Electric partnered with TPWODL to reimagine how power distribution
networks must evolve in a more digital and electric world. The collaboration is
built on Schneider Electric’s digital grid architecture, combining advanced
SCADA systems, intelligent RTUs, protection relays, and centralized network
management platforms to deliver real-time visibility and control across
TPWODL’s distribution network. Deployed through a standardized, plug-and-play
framework, the solutions enable faster rollout, seamless integration across
substations and field infrastructure, and high operational continuity. This architecture-driven
approach allows TPWODL to shift from siloed, asset-centric operations to an
intelligent, data-led grid that improves reliability, enhances response times,
and creates a scalable foundation for future demand growth and renewable integration.

Talking
about the criticality of building resilient and digital first infrastructure,
Mr Anil Ojha, Chief Technical Services, Contract &amp; Store, Tata power
western Odisha distribution limited, said, “At Tata Power, our
commitment to the people of Western Odisha goes beyond supplying electricity,
we aim to strengthen quality of life, enable local growth, and build a more
resilient future for the region. Schneider Electric’s digital solutions are
helping us deliver on that commitment with greater speed and reliability. This
partnership is empowering our teams with modern tools, improving how we serve
our customers every day, and preparing our network to meet the rising
aspirations and energy needs of the communities we support.”

Beyond
operational efficiency, the modernization effort has also delivered
environmental benefits. By optimizing grid performance and reducing technical
losses, TPWODL has lowered its carbon footprint, reinforcing the role of
digitalization in advancing cleaner and more sustainable energy systems. The
upgraded infrastructure positions the utility to seamlessly accommodate future
load growth while enhancing transparency and service reliability.

<title>How Tutorac is Changing IT Training Globally</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/how-tutorac-is-changing-it-training-globally</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a world where
technology evolves faster than traditional education systems can adapt, Tutorac
is positioning itself as a transformative force in global IT training. With a
mission to democratize access to high-quality technology education, the company
is building what it calls the world’s first dedicated IT Training
Marketplace—bridging learners, trainers, academia, and industry on a single,
scalable platform.

A
Marketplace Model for the IT Era

Founded by Vinay
Ratnapu and Dr. Mallikarjun Goud Puppali, Tutorac was created to
solve a persistent gap in the IT ecosystem: the disconnect between skilled
professionals, aspiring learners, colleges, and corporations seeking
specialized expertise.

Unlike conventional
edtech platforms that operate with pre-recorded, one-size-fits-all courses,
Tutorac introduces a dynamic marketplace model. Here, IT trainers (referred to
as “Tutors”) can list their expertise across emerging and in-demand
technologies, while learners can directly connect with industry professionals for
live, interactive, and customized training experiences.

This approach enables:
• Direct engagement between subject matter experts and learners
• Real-time, industry-aligned training
• Flexible learning formats tailored to evolving tech trends
• Global accessibility without geographical limitations

Backed
by Vision and Early Investment

Tutorac’s ambitious
roadmap is supported by $500,000 in seed funding, signaling early investor
confidence in its marketplace-led approach to IT education. The funding has been
instrumental in platform development, technology infrastructure, and global
outreach.

Vinay Ratnapu, known
for his entrepreneurial vision in education technology, has consistently
advocated for industry-integrated learning models that close the employability
gap. Dr. Mallikarjun Goud Puppali brings deep academic insight and strategic
leadership, reinforcing Tutorac’s commitment to quality, accessibility, and
global scalability. Together, their complementary expertise strengthens the
company’s mission to decentralize IT education and make advanced technical
skills universally accessible.

Bridging
Learners, Academia, and Industry

In January 2026,
Tutorac launched its integrated marketplace platform, positioning it as a
“bridge” between four critical pillars:


 Learners
 IT Tutors (trainers and subject matter experts)
 Colleges and academic institutions
 Corporations and industry leaders


This interconnected
ecosystem allows colleges to collaborate with industry experts, companies to
source specialized trainers, and learners to gain exposure to real-world use
cases. By aligning academic instruction with industry demand, Tutorac addresses
one of the most pressing challenges in IT education: employability.

Tutorac was founded by Vinay
Ratnapu and Dr. Mallikarjun Goud Puppali, who share a vision of
transforming how IT skills are delivered and accessed globally. Combining
entrepreneurial foresight with academic depth, the founders recognized the
widening gap between industry requirements and traditional education models.
Their mission with Tutorac is to democratize high-quality, industry-aligned IT
training by building a marketplace that connects real-world experts directly
with learners, institutions, and enterprises—making advanced technology
education more accessible, practical, and globally scalable.

Redefining
Global IT Skill Development

The IT landscape today
demands constant upskilling in areas such as cloud computing, cybersecurity,
artificial intelligence, DevOps, data engineering, and emerging technologies.
Traditional institutions often struggle to update curricula at the pace
required by industry. Tutorac’s marketplace model, however, allows experts
actively working in the field to share up-to-date knowledge directly with
learners.

This real-time
relevance creates a significant competitive advantage for students and working
professionals seeking career advancement.

Empowering
Trainers as Entrepreneurs

Tutorac not only
supports learners—it also empowers IT professionals. By providing a global
platform where trainers can showcase their expertise, build their brand, and
monetize their skills, the company is transforming subject matter experts into
independent edupreneurs.

This shift
decentralizes IT education, reducing dependency on large institutions and
enabling a more democratic knowledge economy.

A
Scalable Global Vision

As digital
transformation accelerates across industries worldwide, the demand for agile,
industry-ready IT talent continues to grow. Tutorac’s scalable marketplace
model is designed to serve global markets, breaking geographical barriers and
creating cross-border learning opportunities.

With strong founding
leadership, early-stage funding, and a differentiated marketplace approach,
Tutorac is redefining how IT training is delivered, consume ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In a world where technology evolves faster than traditional education systems can adapt, Tutorac is positioning itself as a transformative force in global IT training. With a mission to democratize access to high-quality technology education, the company is building what it calls the world’s first dedicated IT Training Marketplace—bridging learners, trainers, academia, and industry on a single, scalable platform.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">A Marketplace Model for the IT Era</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Founded by <b>Vinay Ratnapu</b> and <b>Dr. Mallikarjun Goud Puppali</b>, Tutorac was created to solve a persistent gap in the IT ecosystem: the disconnect between skilled professionals, aspiring learners, colleges, and corporations seeking specialized expertise.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Unlike conventional edtech platforms that operate with pre-recorded, one-size-fits-all courses, Tutorac introduces a dynamic marketplace model. Here, IT trainers (referred to as “Tutors”) can list their expertise across emerging and in-demand technologies, while learners can directly connect with industry professionals for live, interactive, and customized training experiences.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This approach enables:<br>• Direct engagement between subject matter experts and learners<br>• Real-time, industry-aligned training<br>• Flexible learning formats tailored to evolving tech trends<br>• Global accessibility without geographical limitations</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Backed by Vision and Early Investment</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Tutorac’s ambitious roadmap is supported by $500,000 in seed funding, signaling early investor confidence in its marketplace-led approach to IT education. The funding has been instrumental in platform development, technology infrastructure, and global outreach.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Vinay Ratnapu, known for his entrepreneurial vision in education technology, has consistently advocated for industry-integrated learning models that close the employability gap. Dr. Mallikarjun Goud Puppali brings deep academic insight and strategic leadership, reinforcing Tutorac’s commitment to quality, accessibility, and global scalability. Together, their complementary expertise strengthens the company’s mission to decentralize IT education and make advanced technical skills universally accessible.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[  Projects
planned at Sinhgad Road, Bhugaon and Hinjewadi Phase 1 to meet growing demand
for premium and well-connected homes in Pune’s fast-growing western corridor.

Pune, Maharashtra – 23th March 2026 : Paranjape Schemes Construction Limited,
most trusted real estate developers, has announced a series of new residential
project launches across Pune West as part of its upcoming festive season
offerings. The launches span key growth corridors including Sinhgad Road,
Bhugaon and Hinjewadi Phase 1, catering to the rising demand for thoughtfully
designed homes in well-connected neighbourhoods. As part of these launches, the
company will introduce two new towers on Sinhgad Road, two towers in Bhugaon,
and one tower in Hinjewadi Phase 1, further strengthening its presence across
Pune’s emerging residential micro-markets. These projects are designed to offer
a mix of modern amenities, connectivity advantages and lifestyle-focused living
environments for homebuyers looking at both end-use and long-term investment.

Collectively, the upcoming launches represent
a development potential of over 1.75 million sq. ft. across nearly 1400
residential units, with an estimated revenue potential of approximately ₹1,175
crore, reinforcing Paranjape Schemes’ strong pipeline in Pune’s western
micro-markets.

Commenting on the upcoming launches, Amit
Paranjape, Business Development, Paranjape Schemes Construction Private
Limited, said: “The festive season has traditionally been an important time
for homebuyers in India, as it represents new beginnings and long-term
investments for families. With these new launches across Pune West, we aim to
offer thoughtfully planned homes in locations that combine connectivity,
lifestyle and future growth potential. Each of these developments reflects our
continued commitment to creating quality living environments that meet the
evolving aspirations of modern homebuyers. Today, Paranjape Schemes has a
growing presence across nine cities in India something no other Pune-based
developer has achieved at this scale. Alongside our new launches, we are also
actively developing three large integrated townships that will shape the next
phase of urban living. Over the next decade, our vision is to continue
expanding our footprint while building large, well-planned communities that
create long-term value for homebuyers, investors and the cities we operate in.”

Sinhgad Road continues to emerge as a
preferred residential destination due to its strong connectivity to central
Pune, well-established social infrastructure, and proximity to key employment
hubs. The upcoming launches aim to build on the success of the existing developments
and will offer contemporary homes designed for urban families.

Bhugaon is gaining strong traction among
homebuyers seeking a balanced lifestyle. With its scenic surroundings,
improving infrastructure, and seamless connectivity to Kothrud and the
Mumbai–Bangalore Highway, the location continues to strengthen Paranjape
Schemes’ footprint in Pune’s rapidly evolving western suburbs.

Hinjewadi Phase 1 is strategically located
near Pune’s largest IT hub, making it an ideal residential choice for professionals
working in the Hinjewadi IT corridor. The project is expected to offer modern
living spaces complemented by community amenities and easy access to
workplaces, schools and lifestyle conveniences. 

With Pune continuing to witness strong housing
demand driven by its thriving IT sector, infrastructure development and
expanding urban footprint, Paranjape Schemes’ new projects are expected to
attract significant interest from both first-time buyers and investors looking
at high-growth residential corridors.



Over the next decade, PSCL aims to deepen its footprint as a trusted
brand, expand its signature senior living philosophy nationwide, create vibrant
integrated townships, and lead with innovation, sustainability and community
excellence across new markets.



For the organisation, the next phase of growth
is not about scale alone, but about relevance and responsibility. The focus
remains on community-led development, disciplined execution, and creating
spaces that age well with the city.

<description><![CDATA[ NEW DELHI, March 21, 2026: Sohum Linen, a leading innovator in premium hotel linen solutions, is
proud to announce its monumental success at the recently concluded Aahar
Exhibition, held at Pragati Maidan from March 10th - 14th, 2026. The event
served as a high-octane stage for the company to showcase its market dominance,
innovative product engineering, and aggressive expansion strategy.

A Landmark Response at Aahar
2026

The Sohum Linen pavilion became a central hub for
hoteliers, institutional buyers, and industry leaders throughout the five-day
event. The overwhelming response underscored a shifting market demand toward
quality and durability.

The exhibition was a resounding triumph for Sohum
Linen, with visitors thronging their booth to experience the company&#039;s
commitment to quality and innovation. “Aahar has been a game-changer for us,”
said Rounak (Sohum Linen Founder). “The super successful response underscores
our position as a fast-growing leader in the linen industry, fueling our
expansion across India.”

Innovation in Every Thread: The
Trademarked White Series

The highlight of the exhibition was the official
launch of Sohum Linen’s latest innovative range of trademarked white fabrics.
Specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of the hospitality and
institutional sectors, these three tiers are designed to outlast and
outperform any standard fabric on the market:


 Essential: The foundation of durability, offering
     a crisp, professional aesthetic for high-turnover environments. 
 Advantage: A premium balance of comfort and
     longevity, providing a superior tactile experience for guests. 
 ProCare: The pinnacle of institutional textile
     technology, featuring enhanced resistance to wear and industrial
     laundering. 




These collections represent a significant leap
forward in textile science, ensuring that hotels can maintain a “like-new”
appearance for significantly longer cycles than traditional linens.

“The energy at Aahar this year was electric,” said
a spokesperson for Sohum Linen. “The feedback from our partners and new
visitors confirms that the industry is no longer satisfied with ‘generic&#039;. They
are looking for textiles that offer a competitive edge, and we proved that
Sohum Linen is the brand providing exactly that.”

Scaling New Heights: The Narela
Logistics Hub

In a move to solidify its footprint in the region,
Sohum Linen also announced the launch of its brand-new 25,000-square-foot
warehouse facility located in the Narela region, near Delhi.

This strategic investment is a direct response to
the company’s rapid growth. The new facility will serve as a central nerve
center for the Northern Indian market, ensuring:


 Faster turnaround times with
     reduced shipping windows for clients in Delhi-NCR and neighboring states. 
 Enhanced inventory depth with
     immediate availability of the new Essential, Advantage, and ProCare
     ranges. 
 Efficient supply chain management to
     meet high-volume demands of major hotel chains. 


A Future of Rapid Growth

Sohum Linen’s performance at Aahar 2026 is a
testament to its trajectory. With a combination of cutting-edge product
development and a robust physical infrastructure, the company is positioned as
a leader in the Indian textile landscape. As Sohum Linen continues to grow at a
record-breaking pace, its commitment remains the same: delivering fabrics that
set the standard for excellence.

About Sohum Linen

Sohum Linen is a leading provider of premium
textile solutions for the hospitality and institutional sectors. Known for its
innovation and quality, the company provides a wide range of linens designed to
withstand the rigors of commercial use while maintaining aesthetic elegance.

<title>World Water Day: 97% Unusable, 2.5% Limited, 0.007% Critical: Earth’s Water Equation</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/world-water-day-97-unusable-25-limited-0007-critical-earths-water-equation</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/world-water-day-97-unusable-25-limited-0007-critical-earths-water-equation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The
Earth is often celebrated as the “blue planet,” a symbol of abundance and life.
With nearly 70% of its surface covered in water, it gives the impression of
limitless availability. However, beneath this visual vastness lies a far more
sobering reality—one that challenges our assumptions about water security and
sustainability.

“A
drop you waste might be the one Earth just missed. Approximately 97% of the
Earth’s water is saline, spread across oceans and seas, making it unfit for
direct human consumption. The remaining 2.5% is freshwater, but even this
seemingly usable share is largely out of reach. Nearly 68–69% of freshwater is
locked in glaciers and polar ice caps, inaccessible to most of humanity.
Another 30% exists as groundwater, much of it buried deep beneath the Earth’s
surface, making extraction both technically challenging and economically
expensive” says Pavan Kaushik, who is Co-founder of Gurukshetra Consultancy,
an Author and Storyteller, and writes on contemporary topics.

“What
remains is a minuscule fraction—surface water found in rivers, lakes, and
wetlands—which constitutes just about 0.3% of freshwater. In the context of
total global water, this translates to approximately 0.007%. This is the water
that sustains billions of people, supports agriculture, powers industries, and
maintains ecosystems. It is, in every sense, the lifeline of civilization”, Pavan
Kaushik adds.

Pavan
Kaushik says, “The crisis is not in how much water
exists, but in how little we can actually use. The true challenge, therefore,
is not the absence of water, but the severe limitation of its accessibility. As
global populations rise, urbanization accelerates, and climate patterns become
increasingly unpredictable, the pressure on this tiny fraction intensifies.
Rivers are shrinking, groundwater tables are declining, and pollution continues
to degrade already limited resources.”

Compounding
the issue is a widespread misconception: that water is abundant simply because
it is visible. This illusion has led to complacency in conservation and
inefficient usage across sectors. In reality, water is not just a natural
resource—it is a strategic asset that influences food security, public health,
economic growth, and even geopolitical stability.

“Addressing
this challenge requires a shift not only in policy and technology, but also in
individual behaviour. Conservation begins at the most personal level—how we use
water in our daily lives. Every drop saved contributes to a larger collective
impact. Drink as much water as you need—water sustains life. But every drop
wasted is a loss we can no longer afford”, Pavan Kaushik says.

Simple
actions—fixing leaks, reducing unnecessary usage, reusing water where possible,
and being mindful in consumption—can collectively create meaningful change. The
responsibility of water conservation does not lie solely with governments or
institutions; it rests equally with each one of us.

The
equation is simple, yet profound. The majority of Earth’s water is unusable, a
small portion is limited, and an almost negligible fraction is critical for
survival. Recognizing this imbalance is the first step toward meaningful
action.

Pavan
Kaushik says, “Water is not scarce because it is
absent—it is scarce because it is accessible only in the smallest measure where
it matters most.” ]]></description>

pharmaceutical legacy spanning over four decades, SKINLUV has emerged as a
dedicated platform for dermatologist-recommended skincare, aiming to simplify
how consumers access clinically trusted products online.

Founded by Mr.Pradeep Kinikar with roots in India’s
pharmaceutical supply chain since 1981, SKINLUV was launched in response
to a growing challenge faced by skincare consumers on mainstream e-commerce
marketplaces such as Amazon and Flipkart. Customers searching for specific
dermatologist-recommended products often encountered an overwhelming mix of
sponsored listings, bundled products, and similar alternatives, frequently
leading to confusion or incorrect purchases.

To address this gap, in 2018 
they launched skinluv.in a specialised platform designed to help
customers find exactly what their dermatologists recommend without
algorithm-driven distractions.

Leveraging long-standing relationships with dermatologists and an
established pharmaceutical distribution network, the platform was built on a
foundation of trust developed over more than 45 years in the industry.

Today, skinluv.in serves customers across India and also delivers internationally, with
exports reaching markets across Asia and Africa.

Focus on Clean, Plant-Based Skincare

At the core of SKINLUV’s philosophy is the belief that skincare
products should be developed with the same level of care as pharmaceutical
formulations.

The company’s proprietary product range is positioned around
plant-based clean beauty, with formulations developed in consultation with
dermatologists and designed to avoid unnecessary synthetic ingredients. The
brand emphasises pharmaceutical-grade sourcing and dermatology-backed product
development rather than trend-driven formulations.

This approach has earned SKINLUV recognition as one of the Top 10
Plant-Based Startups in India by the publication Industry Outlook.

Bringing Korean Skincare to India

SKINLUV has also built partnerships with Korean skincare manufacturers
to introduce popular K-Beauty products to Indian consumers. The company says
its sourcing model focuses on authenticity and verified supply chains in a
market often affected by grey imports and unverified listings.

The offering is particularly targeted at younger consumers who follow
global skincare trends.

Launch of SUNBLOOM Sunscreen

Expanding its proprietary product lineup, SKINLUV has introduced SUNBLOOM,
an SPF 50 PA+++ invisible sunscreen formulated in consultation with
dermatologists.

The sunscreen provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection and is
enriched with ingredients including niacinamide and calendula. It also
incorporates Galshield UV Care Plus from TRI-K Industries in the United States.

According to the company, the product is designed to deliver
lightweight protection without white cast or stickiness while supporting
hydration, oil balance, and skin barrier protection.

The formulation is non-comedogenic and free from parabens and alcohol,
and is positioned as suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone skin.

Long-Term Approach to Growth

Unlike many direct-to-consumer brands that rely heavily on short-term
trends or influencer-led marketing cycles, SKINLUV says its growth strategy is
built on long-standing industry relationships and a pharmaceutical-grade supply
chain infrastructure developed over decades.

The company aims to continue expanding access to
dermatologist-recommended skincare while maintaining a clinically driven
approach to product development. ]]></description>

<title>alt.f coworking Expands Hyderabad With Gachibowli Launch</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/altf-coworking-expands-hyderabad-with-gachibowli-launch</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/altf-coworking-expands-hyderabad-with-gachibowli-launch</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ HYDERABAD : alt.f coworking,
featured on Shark Tank India Season 4, is opening its newest centre at
Meenakshi Tech Park, Gachibowli on April 15, 2026. The 775-seat space is
alt.f’s most extravagant Hyderabad property yet, built specifically for small
business teams who assumed that this quality of office was simply out of their
budget.

Built Around the Real Problems Founders Face

Finding the right office in Gachibowli is
time-consuming, expensive, and full of friction. Once a space is found, fit-out
costs, security deposits, and infrastructure setup can run into tens of lakhs
before the first day of work. And then come the monthly overheads -
electricity, maintenance, internet, and facility management that quietly erode margins
and create financial unpredictability for growing teams.

alt.f removes all of this. Move-in ready
offices. Zero setup costs. One transparent monthly fee that covers everything.
For a team of 15 or 40, that clarity is worth more than the square footage.

The Space

Meenakshi Tech Park is designed around a European aesthetic, warm
materials, considered lighting, and an atmosphere that is polished without being
corporate. The inventory is built around fully enclosed private cabins for
teams of 15 to 50, giving every member organisation its own dedicated, lockable
space. Lounge areas, a members’ café, enterprise-grade Wi-Fi, and a
professional hospitality team round out an experience that feels exclusive from
day one.

“Gachibowli’s small
businesses have been working out of spaces that don’t reflect their quality.
Meenakshi Tech Park changes that. A 20-person company should walk into an
office that makes them proud, not one they’ve settled for.”

— Yogesh Arora,
Co-founder, alt.f coworking

alt.f in Hyderabad

The Gachibowli centre joins alt.f’s existing
Hyderabad locations in the Financial District and Begumpet. Two more centres in
HITECH City are confirmed for launch before the end of 2026, making alt.f the
most accessible premium workspace network for small businesses across
Hyderabad’s key business corridors.

Pre-Launch Offer: 30 Days Rent-Free

Businesses that book before April 15 receive
their first 30 days rent-free. To schedule a visit or reserve a cabin, contact
the alt.f Hyderabad team at www.altfcoworking.com or call +91
9958500731.

About alt.f coworking

alt.f coworking is India’s leading flexible
workspace brand for small business teams of 6 to 40 people, founded in 2016 by
Yogesh Arora and Sarthak Chhabra. Featured on Shark Tank India Season 4, alt.f

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad
| 20th March 2026 : Ramky Infrastructure Limited (RIL) today
announced the execution of a Concession Agreement between the Maharashtra
Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) and Maha Integrated Life Sciences
City Limited (MILeS City), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ramky Infrastructure
Limited, for the development of a High-Tech Pharmaceutical Park at the Dighi
Port Industrial Area in Raigad district, Maharashtra.

The
project will be implemented on a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) basis
under the Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) model,
with an estimated project cost of INR 3,000 crore excluding the
operating income to be generated during the 90 years operation period. The
concession period will span 95 years, including a construction period
of five years which RIL expects to execute in coming 5 years would form
part of the Order Book of RIL aggregating it to INR 13,500 Crores. 

The
proposed High-Tech Pharmaceutical Park will be developed across approximately 1,000
hectares within the Dighi Port Industrial Area, covering parts of Mangaon
and Roha talukas in Raigad district. The project will establish a
large-scale integrated development comprising industrial zones, commercial
areas, common infrastructure, utilities, internal road networks and designated
open spaces.

An
Integrated Life Sciences Manufacturing Ecosystem

The
project is designed to establish a world-class integrated life sciences
manufacturing ecosystem that will provide end-to-end infrastructure and shared
facilities for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences companies.

Key
elements of the proposed development include:

●       
Integrated infrastructure and advanced
utilities, enabling industries to optimise capital investment and improve
operational efficiency.

●       
Innovation-led research and development
centres, incubation hubs, and technology transfer platforms to encourage
collaboration, capability building, and sectoral innovation.

●       
Environmentally responsible infrastructure
that supports high standards of environmental safety, regulatory compliance,
and sustainable industrial operations.

Under
the terms of the concession agreement, MILeS City will be responsible
for the development, operation, maintenance and management of the project for
the entire concession period.

The
revenue model for the project will include:

●       
Land lease premium and lease rental

●       
Development charges

●       
Maintenance charges for common infrastructure
and services

●       
Operational charges for utilities and shared
facilities

The
project is expected to strengthen industrial infrastructure in the region,
attract investments into the pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors, and
generate significant direct and indirect employment opportunities. It is also
anticipated to stimulate growth in ancillary industries and local businesses
across the surrounding areas.

Following
the execution of this concession agreement, the order book position of Ramky
Infrastructure Limited stands at approximately INR 13,500 crore, reflecting
the company’s continued momentum in large-scale infrastructure and industrial
development projects.

Commenting
on the development, Mr. Sunil S Nair, CEO, Ramky Infrastructure Limited
said, “This agreement marks a significant milestone not only for industrial
development, but for the wider communities and businesses that stand to benefit
from it. By creating a large-scale integrated life sciences ecosystem at Dighi
Port Industrial Area, we see an opportunity to support employment generation,
strengthen regional infrastructure, encourage innovation, and attract long-term
investment into Maharashtra. The project is designed to enable pharmaceutical
and biotechnology companies to grow within a well-supported and globally
competitive manufacturing environment.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[  



New
Delhi, March 19, 2026 : Axis Max Life
Insurance Limited,
formerly known as Max Life Insurance Company Limited (“Axis Max Life”/
“Company”) has entered into a strategic Corporate Agent partnership with Saarathi
Finance and Credit Private Limited (“Saarathi Finance”), a next-generation
greenfield non-banking financial company (NBFC) focused on bridging the credit
gap for India’s Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

By
leveraging Saarathi’s last-mile reach, this partnership will provide Axis Max
Life’s insurance product - Group Credit Life Secure (GCLS) (UIN:
104N072V04), to safeguard the interests of micro and nano-entrepreneurs.
This product will act as a &quot;security shield,&quot; ensuring that in the
event of an unfortunate incident, the debt burden does not fall on the family
or the business.

Sumit
Madan, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Axis Max Life,
said, “Our partnership with Saarathi Finance is a step toward securing the
entrepreneurial heart of India. By combining Saarathi Finance’s seamless
digital-first lending with Axis Max Life’s consistent industry-leading claims
settlement, we are bridging the MSME credit gap with a safety net that makes
protection an accessible reality for thousands of entrepreneurs.

This
partnership strengthens our commitment to fueling growth in India’s vibrant
local markets by merging technological innovation with a deep-rooted
understanding of small business dynamics. By integrating simple, relevant
protection directly into the digital credit journey, we are ensuring that for
every MSME, financial progress remains resilient, safeguarding the livelihoods
of those who power our economy.&quot;

Vivek
Bansal, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Saarathi Finance,
said, “In India, over 90% of MSMEs operate with thin capital buffers, and a
single disruption can wipe out years of effort. Saarathi Finance is providing
the right credit solutions to support the growth of these MSMEs. The
partnership with Axis Max Life acts as an enabler by providing protection
through embedded insurance into lending that helps turn loans into long-term
security frameworks and remove uncertainties. With this, the businesses can
focus on growth instead of worrying about what might go wrong.”

This
partnership also marks a significant milestone toward the national vision of &quot;Insurance
for All by 2047,&quot; driving financial inclusion for MSMEs across Tier 3
and Tier 4 towns of India. By combining Axis Max Life’s protection expertise
with Saarathi’s focus on the &quot;Bottom of the Pyramid,&quot; the partnership
addresses the critical insurance gap. Through a commitment to long-term value
instead of short-term lending, both entities intend to position financial
protection as an essential enabler for India’s rising entrepreneurs.

<title>Adi Karnataka Royal Sub&amp;Clans and Category 2A OBC Status: Reclaiming Karnataka’s True Warrior Heritage</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/adi-karnataka-royal-sub-clans-and-category-2a-obc-status-reclaiming-karnatakas-true-warrior-heritage</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/adi-karnataka-royal-sub-clans-and-category-2a-obc-status-reclaiming-karnatakas-true-warrior-heritage</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The
history of Adi Karnataka’s royal sub-clans is not a forgotten narrative.
It is a legacy deeply preserved in Karnataka’s temples, inscriptions, and
copper plates. Long before colonial classifications, these communities held
positions of power, authority, and honor as Samantas, warrior-lords, and regional
rulers across the Deccan.

Today,
this historical identity continues to receive formal acknowledgment through
their classification under OBC Category 2A in Karnataka’s backward class
reservation framework. This recognition is not new. It is a continuation of a
legacy that has always existed.

Adi Karnataka
Community: Understanding the Full Context

The
Adi Karnataka community is officially listed under the depressed
class in Karnataka. While this classification is part of modern
administrative records, it does not fully represent the internal diversity of
the community.

What
is often overlooked is that:

●     
Certain main sub-clans within Adi Karnataka
are recognized under OBC Category 2A

●     
These sub-clans trace their lineage to Samantha
Adi Karnataka (right wing) and Kshatriya warrior traditions

●       
Their historical identity is rooted in
governance, military leadership, and land ownership

●       
The SC classification emerged during colonial
rule and does not fully reflect pre-colonial social structures

Understanding
this distinction is essential for accurate historical and legal awareness.

Samanta Adi Karnataka:
The Warrior-Ruler Legacy of Karnataka

The
term Samanta Adi Karnataka represents a powerful identity in Karnataka’s
medieval history. Samantas were not ordinary subjects. They were feudal
lords, military commanders, and regional administrators who played a
crucial role in sustaining major empires like Vijayanagara.

These
warrior elites:

●       
Governed territories under imperial authority

●       
Led armies in regional and large-scale
military campaigns

●     
Received land grants and royal seals as
marks of trust

●     
Built and supported temples as part of their dharmic
responsibilities

●       
Delivered justice and maintained order within
their regions

This
positions Adi Karnataka’s royal sub-clans firmly within the Kshatriya
tradition of governance and warfare.

Recognition Beyond
Karnataka: A Broader National Context

The
recognition of warrior-based communities as OBC groups is not unique to
Karnataka. Across India, similar historical communities have been acknowledged
within backward class frameworks:

●     
In Odisha, Samantha communities are
classified as dominant OBC groups with royal lineage

●     
In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, comparable
warrior communities fall under higher OBC categories

●     
Karnataka’s Category 2A classification
aligns with this broader national pattern of recognizing historically
influential but socially reclassified communities

This
demonstrates that the classification of Adi Karnataka’s royal sub-clans is
consistent with pan-Indian administrative and historical understanding.

Empires That Shaped and
Were Shaped by Adi Karnataka

Adi
Karnataka’s historical presence is reflected across several major South Indian
dynasties. These empires relied heavily on regional chieftains and
administrative networks for expansion and governance.

1. Kadamba
Dynasty

Recognized
as one of Karnataka’s earliest ruling dynasties, the Kadambas established
foundational governance systems. Communities rooted in the region, including
early Adi Karnataka lineages, formed part of this evolving social structure.

2. Western
Ganga Kingdom

The
Gangas ruled large parts of southern Karnataka and depended on feudal lords
(Samantha Adi Karnatakas) for decentralized governance.

3.
Rashtrakuta Empire

A
dominant power in early medieval India, the Rashtrakutas governed vast
territories through a network of loyal regional elites and military
commanders.

4. Hoysala
Dynasty

Known
for its architectural brilliance, the Hoysalas also relied on local
administrative elites who contributed to both governance and temple
patronage.

5.
Vijayanagara Empire

One
of the most powerful empires in South Indian history, Vijayanagara’s strength
lay in its military organization and regional governance system,
supported by numerous Samantha chieftains.

Colonial
Reclassification and Its Long-Term Impact

During
British rule, caste classifications underwent significant restructuring through
census operations. Many communities with martial, administrative, and
landholding backgrounds were reclassified under “depressed classes”
for their selfish administrative purposes, when they could not control and rule
over the people of sub south Karnataka they imposed this rule for classifying
the kshatriyan ruling communities

This
shift resulted in:

●       
Loss of traditional identity and status

●       
Disruption ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Youtube link: https://youtu.be/g_RoEjpKja0?si=30V0YLhu2uM8qJaZ

Mumbai,19th March 2026 : Riding the wave
of nostalgia and the growing popularity of sequels in Indian
entertainment, Ultra Media &amp; Entertainment is bringing
back one of Marathi cinema’s most loved comedy franchises with Punha
Ekda Sade Made Teen, which will begin streaming on Ultra Jhakaas
OTT from March 19, 2026. The film revisits the chaotic and hilarious world
first introduced in the cult 2006 Marathi hit Sade Made Teen, a
film that continues to enjoy immense popularity among Marathi audiences.

 

Presented by Ultra Media &amp; Entertainment
and directed by Ankush Chaudhari, the sequel features an ensemble
cast led by Ashok Saraf, Makrand Anaspure, Bharat Jadhav, and Siddharth
Jadhav. The film also stars Rinku Rajguru, Samruddhi Kelkar, and
Sanket Pathak in key roles, bringing together a mix of nostalgia and
fresh humour that appeals to both long-time fans and new viewers.

 

The story once again follows
the eccentric Kurle brothers, who run a small garage and live by a strict
personal rule that keeps their lives uncomplicated: no ladies and no marriage.
However, their quiet routine is disrupted when a woman unexpectedly enters
their lives, setting off a chain of hilarious misunderstandings, chaotic
situations, and comic twists that turn their world upside down.

 

Over the years, Sade
Made Teen has earned a cult following for its unique brand of humour
and memorable characters. With Punha Ekda Sade Made Teen, the
makers revive the beloved comedy universe while giving it a contemporary twist,
tapping into the growing trend of sequels and franchise storytelling that
continues to resonate strongly with audiences.

 

Commenting on the digital
release, Sushilkumar Agrawal, Founder &amp; CEO, Ultra Media &amp;
Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., shared, “Comedy has always been one of the
strongest pillars of Marathi cinema, and Punha Ekda Sade Made Teen carries
forward that tradition with entertaining characters and relatable humour. The
original film continues to enjoy a cult following, and we are excited to bring
its world back to audiences through Ultra Jhakaas. Our aim is to celebrate such
iconic Marathi stories while making them easily accessible to viewers
everywhere.”

 

Ultra Jhakaas,
the Marathi OTT platform from Ultra Media &amp; Entertainment Group, has
rapidly emerged as a key destination for regional entertainment. With 4,000+
hours of Marathi content across 1,500+ titles, including films, originals,
theatre content, television shows, and culturally rooted programming, the
platform continues to witness strong engagement among viewers in Maharashtra as
well as the global Marathi diaspora.

 

As part of a special initiative
to make Marathi entertainment more accessible, Ultra Jhakaas has introduced
a weekly subscription starting at ₹19, enabling audiences to
explore its growing catalogue of Marathi films, originals, and theatre content
at an affordable entry point.

 



Punha Ekda Sade
Made Teen will be available to stream exclusively on Ultra Jhakaas from March
19, 2026. Additionally, the Ultra Jhakaas platform is easily accessible across

<description><![CDATA[ National,
19th March 2026 : India’s rise as a formidable sporting nation
is being shaped by athletes who continue to push boundaries and deliver
exceptional performances on the global stage. For Titan, celebrating such

India’s growing confidence and aspirations. Reinforcing this commitment, Titan
Watches has partnered with RevSportz’s Trailblazers for the second consecutive

conclave brought together celebrated champions legends, emerging athletes and
key voices from across India’s sporting ecosystem. Through this continued
association, Titan recognised athletes whose journeys embody resilience,
discipline and the relentless pursuit of excellence, values that inspire future
generations and shape the story of Indian sport.

This
year, Trailblazers honoured four exceptional athletes across three categories.

<title>A Fashion Brand That Understands Modern Indian Women&amp;apos;s Identity</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/a-fashion-brand-that-understands-modern-indian-womens-identity</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/a-fashion-brand-that-understands-modern-indian-womens-identity</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Most fashion brands design for consumers, but this
brand designs for women, and there&#039;s a real difference there. Born from a
passion for individuality and self-expression, this isn&#039;t another brand chasing
whatever&#039;s trending on Instagram this week, but replacing the issues women face
in fashion with stylish solutions.

 

Launched in 2023, Zlaata celebrates the modern
woman who refuses to shrink herself, who&#039;s breaking rules at every step, but
didn’t forget her roots. It&#039;s built on something genuine: understanding that
Indian women deserve clothes that actually understand their lives.

 

The Problems
Everyone Else Ignored

We know fast fashion falls apart after three
washes, premium brands cost a month&#039;s salary, and Western cuts just don&#039;t work
on Indian bodies. Nobody thought about our weather, nobody cared about our
budgets, and nobody understood our daily dance between tradition and modernity.

 

Zlaata noticed these gaps that everyone else seemed
to miss and quietly decided to do something about it. They saw women struggling
to find clothes that worked for both boardroom meetings and family dinners, and
thought, &quot;We can fix this.&quot;

 

Two Worlds, One
Closet

The Zlaata India
brings back our heritage without making it feel like you&#039;re wearing a costume
to a cultural program. Their Ikat Reimagined line takes traditional prints and
puts them on modern silhouettes that you&#039;d actually want to wear to work or
weekend brunches.

 

It&#039;s not trying too hard to be fusion fashion, it&#039;s
just honoring where we come from while living where we are. Whether you want
the intricate patterns of Rajasthani Bandhani printed or Odisha&#039;s Ikat, they
have thoughtfully included so many Indian prints.

 

The Boss Lady
is for the working woman. These are waistcoats to cords that mean business, pieces
designed for someone standing at the threshold of her career or someone
single-handedly running her own business. The cuts fit real bodies, not just
mannequins, and the silhouettes make you feel like you belong in any room you
walk into.

 

Fabric That
Actually Works For Indian Weather

Cotton blends and muslin dominate their
collections, not because it&#039;s trendy, but because it makes complete sense for
our climate. When summers stretch for months and humidity is too much to take,
then breathable fabric is not optional,  it&#039;s necessary.

 

These are materials that handle sweat without
showing it, fabrics that wash easily for busy lives, and textures that feel
good against your skin even during long commutes. Every choice is made with
Indian reality in mind, because comfort isn&#039;t a luxury when you&#039;re living here.
 

Nothing Goes To
Waste Here

Here&#039;s something beautiful about Zlaata that here,
leftover fabric becomes scrunchies, small pieces turn into bags &amp; sanitary
pouches. Waste gets a second life as useful accessories. It&#039;s not about jumping
on the sustainability bandwagon; it&#039;s just smart and kind business practice.

 

Your new dress helps create someone else&#039;s favorite
accessory, and this very basic reusability system feels genuinely good. They
are bringing sustainability into fashion, not as a marketing gimmick, but as a
natural extension of not wanting to waste anything beautiful.

 

More Than Just
Clothes

Zlaata is not trying to solve everything, but they
help women create stories of power and empowerment through their wardrobes.
Modern Indian women are beautifully complex,  traditional with modern
thinking, professional but family-focused, breaking barriers but staying
rooted.

 

The brand celebrates every version of her, from
formalwear that powers her presence in important meetings to Indo-Western
pieces that honor her heritage with a contemporary twist. They understand that
we don&#039;t need brands to figure us out; we need brands that give us good options
and celebrate our complexity.

 

What It Comes
Down To

While everyone else chases fast trends and seasonal
collections, Zlaata just focuses on making good clothes for real women with
real lives. It&#039;s not about having the most inventory or the loudest marketing;
it&#039;s about doing the right things well and consistently.

 

When
fashion stops trying to change women and starts serving them instead, something
genuine happens. That&#039;s exactly what&#039;s happened here, a brand that feels less
like a business trying to sell you something and more like a friend who finally
gets what you need.

<title>Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for Long Term Smooth Skin | EaseMyCure</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/benefits-of-laser-hair-removal-for-long-term-smooth-skin-easemycure</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Laser hair removal
benefits makes it a popular choice for anyone who is seeking long-term smooth
skin. This advanced procedure uses focused light technology to reduce unwanted
hair effectively and safely.

Countless individuals
tire of daily shaving, painful waxing, or messy creams. These traditional
approaches often cause skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and ongoing maintenance.
Laser hair removal treatment provides a reliable alternative. It targets hair
at the root for permanent hair reduction and delivers noticeably smoother
results over time.

What Is Laser Hair
Removal Treatment?

Laser hair removal
treatment includes a concentrated beam of light. The light targets melanin
pigment in the hair. This pigment absorbs the energy and converts it into heat,
that heat damages the hair follicle without harming nearby skin. This process
work on the principle of selective photothermolysis. It selectively injures the
follicle while sparing surrounding tissue.

Experts describe the
outcome as permanent hair reduction. It significantly slows or stops hair
regrowth rather than guaranteeing complete elimination forever. Most people
achieve major improvements after a series of sessions. Traditional lasers
worked best on dark hair and light skin due to contrast. Modern devices,
including diode, alexandrite, and Nd:YAG lasers are now treat a broader range
of skin tones safely and effectively.

How Laser Hair Removal
Achieves Long-Term Smooth Skin?

Hair grows in three
main phases: anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), and telogen
(resting). The laser effectively targets follicles during the anagen phase.
Since hairs cycle at different times, multiple sessions must be required.
Treatments typically occur every 4–6 weeks to capture new growth phases.

A standard course
involves 6–8 sessions. Each treatment progressively weakens more follicles.
Regrowth appears finer, lighter, and much less dense. Many enjoy long-term
smooth skin for months or years with only occasional touch-ups. This method
outperforms temporary solutions. Shaving cuts, the hair at the surface, while
waxing removes it from the root which allows quick regrowth.

Top Benefits of Laser
Hair Removal

Laser hair removal
delivers clear, science-backed advantages. Explore the key ones below.


 Permanent Hair Reduction for Lasting
     Results


The best option is
permanent hair reduction. Clinical studies reports that 70–90% hair reduction
in many cases after full treatment. Some areas, like underarms or bikini zones,
can reach up to 90–95% reduction. When regrowth happens, it stays minimal and
softer. You can gain long-term smooth skin free from daily concerns. This makes
laser hair removal treatment a smart and enduring option for the treatment.


 Precision Targeting for Superior Outcomes


Lasers techniques are
selectively focus on dark and coarse hairs. They mainly leave rest of the skin
unaffected. This precision minimizes risks and side effects. It works on small
areas like the upper lip or larger zones like legs and back. 


 Smoother Skin Without Common Irritation


Shaving frequently
causes razor bumps, nicks, and stubble. Waxing often leads to redness and
painful ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal treatment greatly reduces ingrown
hairs. It eliminates repeated trauma to the skin surface. Treated skin feels
softer, looks clearer, and heals healthier. No more constant bumps or
post-removal redness.


 Time-Saving Convenience in Daily Life


The shaving process
steals minutes every day. and axing demands salon visits every few weeks. Laser
sessions progress quickly. An upper lip takes under a minute. Larger areas like
legs finish in under an hour. After completing treatments, you reclaim
significant time. 


 Cost-Effective Over the Long Term


Initial sessions cost
more than basic razors or wax kits. The full courses can vary by area and
location. Savings build rapidly over time. It eliminates continuous expenses
for blades, gels, creams, or professional waxing. Many discover that laser hair removal treatment pays
for itself within a few years through reduced upkeep costs. You can compare
verified clinic pricing directly on EaseMyCure before booking your sessions.


 Minimal Discomfort and Zero Downtime


The modern lasers
create a mild sensation and often compared to a rubber band snap. The cooling
systems majorly built on the devices which enhance comfort. Most people handle
sessions well with little pain. Topical numbing creams which used in the
treatment, helps sensitive areas if needed. Mild redness or swelling may appear
briefly. These effects fade within hours. You can easily return to your work,
exercise, or social plans immediately. 


 Enhanced Confidence and Broad Versatility


The smooth and
hair-free skin increases self-esteem significantly. You can wear any clothing
style without hesitation. The treatment can  ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Laser hair removal treatment includes a concentrated beam of light. The light targets melanin pigment in the hair. This pigment absorbs the energy and converts it into heat, that heat damages the hair follicle without harming nearby skin. This process work on the principle of selective photothermolysis. It selectively injures the follicle while sparing surrounding tissue.</span></p>

<title>Built on Service, Trust and Quality: How Alpex Pharma Became the Manufacturing Partner Pharma Brands Rely On</title>

<description><![CDATA[ With
a multi-certified, multi-division manufacturing infrastructure and an
established presence across domestic and international markets, Alpex Pharma is
setting a new benchmark for what third-party pharmaceutical manufacturing
should look like in India.

INDIA : The Indian pharmaceutical industry stands at a defining moment. Domestic
demand is surging, regulatory standards are tightening, and Indian-made
medicines are earning growing respect in markets across Asia, Africa, and
beyond. At the centre of this transformation is a quiet but powerful engine —
the contract manufacturer. And few have positioned themselves for this moment
as deliberately, or as decisively, as Alpex Pharma.

Under
the leadership of Director Shubham Mittal, Alpex Pharma has built a manufacturing
organisation that bears none of the hallmarks of a conventional contract
facility. It operates with the systems, the certifications, the infrastructure,
and the service philosophy of an enterprise that was designed from the outset
to support pharma brands at scale — domestically and globally.

A Manufacturing
Organisation Built for Regulated Markets

At
the foundation of Alpex Pharma’s operations is a quality infrastructure that
meets and exceeds the standards of the world’s most demanding pharmaceutical
regulatory frameworks. The company holds WHO-GMP, GMP, GLP, and Ghana-GMP
certifications — the gold standard combination for manufacturers supplying both
India’s domestic market and regulated international markets.

The
addition of Ghana-GMP accreditation signals something beyond compliance. It
reflects a strategic commitment to international manufacturing standards and
demonstrates that Alpex Pharma’s quality systems have been independently
verified against the requirements of export-destination regulators — not just
domestic ones. For brand partners with global ambitions, this distinction
matters enormously.

Global
Reach Through Strategic Partnerships

Alpex
Pharma enables pharma brands to access international markets through
established neutral code manufacturing partnerships — producing under partner
brand identities across multiple geographies. This infrastructure allows brand
owners to expand globally without the capital investment of building their own
international supply chain.

Specialist Divisions.
Enterprise-Grade Separation.

One
of the clearest indicators of a manufacturer’s true capability is not its
equipment list — it is how it organises itself. Alpex Pharma operates across
three dedicated, fully separated manufacturing divisions, each purpose-built
for its product category with the infrastructure, containment protocols, and
compliance architecture it demands.

●     
General Division : Tablets,
capsules across a broad therapeutic range, serving domestic and export markets
with full GMP compliance.

●     
Beta-Lactam Division : Dedicated
Beta-Lactam manufacturing with full containment, regulatory separation and
specialist protocols for sensitive antibiotic classes.

●     
Cephalosporin Division : Isolated
Cephalosporin production infrastructure meeting the highest standards of
cross-contamination prevention and regulatory compliance.

This
level of divisional separation is not common among Indian contract
manufacturers. It reflects an investment in doing things properly — the kind of
structural commitment that enterprise pharma clients, institutional buyers, and
international regulators look for when evaluating a manufacturing partner for
the long term.

“Quality
is not a stage in our production process. It is the architecture of eveAlpexng
we build — every division, every system, every client relationship.”
— Shubham Mittal, Director, Alpex Pharma

The Standard That Sets
Alpex Pharma Apart

What
distinguishes Alpex Pharma in a crowded contract manufacturing landscape is not
any single certification or facility specification. It is the consistent
experience of every brand that works with the company — an experience defined
by reliability, transparency, and a service culture that treats each client’s
business as seriously as its own.

Alpex
Pharma’s account management model is built on dedicated partnerships. Brand
owners are not passed between teams or managed through a generic helpdesk. They
work with a dedicated team that understands their product portfolio, their
market, their regulatory requirements, and their commercial timelines — and is
accountable for all of it. Production scheduling is built around the client’s
launch windows and distribution cycles. And delivery commitments, once made,
are treated as non-negotiable.

This
is the operational definition of service, trust and quality — not as corporate
values on a wall, but as the daily practice of a manufacturing organisation
that has built its entire reputation on them. It is also precisely why Alpex Pharma
has become the top third-party manufacturer of cho ]]></description>

They work with a dedicated team that understands their product portfolio, their market, their regulatory requirements, and their commercial timelines — and is accountable for all of it. Production scheduling is built around the client’s launch windows and distribution cycles. And delivery commitments, once made, are treated as non-negotiable.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This is the operational definition of service, trust and quality — not as corporate values on a wall, but as the daily practice of a manufacturing organisation that has built its entire reputation on them. It is also precisely why Alpex Pharma has become the top third-party manufacturer of choice for pharma brands across India and international markets.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">India’s contract manufacturing sector is undergoing a generational shift. The brands emerging from this market are more sophisticated, more globally ambitious, and more discerning about their supply chain partners than any previous generation. They are not looking for the cheapest option. They are looking for the most reliable one — a manufacturing partner whose quality systems, international credentials, service culture, and operational discipline can match their own ambitions and protect their brand as they grow.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Alpex Pharma has positioned itself squarely in that space. Not as a commodity contract manufacturer competing on price, but as a quality-led enterprise competing on performance. With internationally recognised certifications, enterprise-grade divisional infrastructure, established global export pathways, and a service philosophy rooted in genuine partnership, the company represents a new standard for what third-party pharmaceutical manufacturing can and should be in India.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The pharmaceutical brands that choose Alpex Pharma are not simply outsourcing production. They are gaining a manufacturing partner with the capability, the credentials, and the commitment to grow with them — wherever that growth takes them.</span></p>

<title>Viazo Steps into India’s Competitive Footwear Market with Focus on Comfort, Durability and Honest Pricing</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
India, March 18, 2026 : Viazo, a new-age footwear brand, has
officially entered India’s fast-growing footwear market with a clear and
practical promise: deliver comfortable, reliable shoes at prices that make
sense for everyday consumers. Founded in 2024 by Yogendra Singh Rajput, Viazo
is building its identity around product dependability, thoughtful design and
accessible pricing.

India’s
footwear sector has witnessed steady expansion in recent years, driven by
rising disposable incomes, rapid urbanisation and a growing preference for
lifestyle and athleisure wear. While premium brands continue to expand in metro
cities, a significant segment of consumers across tier two and tier three
markets still struggle to find products that balance quality and affordability.
Viazo aims to address this gap by offering footwear that is designed for daily
use without placing financial strain on buyers.

The
brand’s entry strategy is rooted in understanding how Indian consumers actually
use their footwear. From long commutes and extended work hours to travel and
casual outings, shoes are expected to deliver comfort for prolonged periods
while maintaining durability. Viazo’s product portfolio reflects this need,
combining practical design elements with materials chosen for everyday
resilience.

Viazo’s
range includes sports shoes, casual sneakers, boots and lifestyle footwear
suited for varied settings. Each product is developed with a focus on
cushioning, breathability and structural support to enhance comfort during
extended wear. At the same time, the brand emphasises sturdy construction to
ensure that products remain dependable over time. This balance between comfort
and durability forms the core of Viazo’s value proposition.

According
to founder Yogendra Singh Rajput, the idea behind Viazo was shaped by observing
a clear disconnect in the market. Many affordable shoes compromise on quality,
while higher priced options are often inaccessible to a large segment of
consumers. Viazo was created to bridge this divide by offering reliable
products at transparent and reasonable price points. The brand positions itself
as a practical choice for students, working professionals and families who seek
long-term value.

One
of the distinguishing aspects of Viazo’s offering is its minimum product
guarantee of six to twelve months on eligible items. This move signals the
company’s confidence in its manufacturing standards and commitment to customer
satisfaction. In a category where after-sales assurance is often limited, this
guarantee is intended to build trust and long-term relationships with buyers.

Viazo
is also adopting a digital-first approach to reach customers across India.
Through its official website, the brand enables direct access to its
collections, detailed product information and customer support. By leveraging
online distribution, Viazo seeks to maintain competitive pricing while ensuring
wider geographic reach. This approach allows the company to engage directly
with consumers, gather feedback and continuously refine its product offerings.

The
Indian footwear market is increasingly influenced by comfort-led purchasing
decisions. Consumers today are more informed and discerning, often prioritising
long-lasting comfort over short-term trends. Viazo aligns itself with this
shift by focusing less on seasonal fashion cycles and more on consistent
performance and everyday usability. The brand’s communication emphasises
practicality, functionality and honest pricing rather than aspirational
positioning.

As
competition intensifies across domestic and international footwear brands,
differentiation through reliability and value becomes critical. Viazo’s
strategy centres on building credibility through product performance and
transparent commitments. By combining thoughtful design, accessible pricing and
warranty-backed assurance, the company aims to carve a sustainable position in
India’s evolving footwear landscape.

Looking
ahead, Viazo plans to expand its product categories and strengthen its presence
across both urban and emerging markets. With a foundation built on
affordability and product reliability, the brand is positioning itself as a
dependable footwear choice for modern Indian consumers.

<title>The Visibility War: Why Small Retailers Are Disappearing From Digital Discovery</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-visibility-war-why-small-retailers-are-disappearing-from-digital-discovery</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-visibility-war-why-small-retailers-are-disappearing-from-digital-discovery</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Retail Is
Changing Faster Than Many Realize

India has one of the largest retail ecosystems in the world.
Millions of small businesses and MSME retailers serve customers every day
across cities, towns and neighbourhood markets.

For years the biggest debate in retail revolved around online
versus offline commerce.

But the market dynamics are now changing.

today the real competition in retail is becoming
something far more important: visibility.

Customers rarely walk into a store without doing research
first. Before buying a smartphone or electronic device most people search
online to check prices, compare models and see where a product is available in
their city.

If a store appears during this research phase it has a
strong chance of attracting the customer. If it does not appear the store may
never even be considered.

The Discovery Gap Facing MSME Retailers

Large marketplaces and major retail chains invest heavily in
digital infrastructure, marketing and product visibility. Because of this they
dominate search results and product discovery.

Small retailers operate in a very different environment.

Across India thousands of MSME mobile retailers run
successful local stores and maintain strong relationships with customers. They
stock the latest smartphones and offer competitive pricing.

Yet many of these stores remain invisible when customers
search for devices online.

This invisibility is not because they lack inventory or
service quality. The problem is that their store information and product
availability are not structured in a way that discovery systems can easily
identify.

As a result a customer searching for

Samsung S26 Ultra lowest price in Jaipur

iPhone 17 Pro best price near me

Nothing Phone availability in Jaipur

may only see large online marketplaces even though the same
device could be available at a trusted local retailer nearby.

The New Retail Battle Is Visibility

In the past retailers competed through discounts, exchange
offers and promotional deals.

today those factors still matter but they come later in
the buying journey.

The first battle is simply being visible when
customers begin researching products.

Retailers who appear during the discovery phase gain
attention and potential customers. Those who do not appear remain invisible
regardless of how competitive their pricing might be.

For small retailers the biggest challenge today is
not demand. It is discoverability.

When Marketing Budgets Create an Uneven Playing Field

Large marketplaces spend massive budgets on marketing,
advertising and search visibility.

Small MSME retailers cannot compete with such spending.

Most local shop owners focus their resources on inventory,
staff, rent and daily operations. Investing in complex digital marketing
infrastructure is often beyond their financial capacity.

Because of this imbalance many local retailers slowly lose
their presence in digital product discovery.

Bridging the Discovery Gap

While the challenge is real it also creates an opportunity.

If store information and product availability can be
structured properly local retailers can also appear when customers search for
devices in their city.

This allows retailers to compete based on availability,
service and proximity, rather than only marketing budgets.

One initiative attempting to solve this challenge is Mobile
Ki Dukaan, a retail discovery platform that helps local mobile retailers
become visible during product research searches.

Through the platform retailers can list their store and
available products so that customers searching for smartphones can discover
nearby shops where the device is actually in stock. More information about the
platform can be found at https://mobilekidukaan.in.

More than 1000 mobile retailers across India are
already connected through the platform.

Importantly the platform allows retailers to join at zero
entry cost, enabling even small neighbourhood mobile shops to participate
without financial barriers.

The Future of Retail Discovery

Retail is entering a new phase where product discovery is
becoming one of the most important factors in attracting customers.

Stores that are visible during the research stage will
continue to grow while those that remain invisible may struggle even if they
offer competitive prices and good service.

For millions of MSME retailers across India improving
visibility may become the key to surviving in the next stage of retail
evolution.

Ensuring that local retailers remain discoverable could play
a crucial role in keeping India’s retail ecosystem diverse and competitive.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Retail Is Changing Faster Than Many Realize</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">India has one of the largest retail ecosystems in the world. Millions of small businesses and MSME retailers serve customers every day across cities, towns and neighbourhood markets.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For years the biggest debate in retail revolved around <b>online versus offline commerce</b>.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But the market dynamics are now changing.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">today the real competition in retail is becoming something far more important: <b>visibility</b>.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Customers rarely walk into a store without doing research first. Before buying a smartphone or electronic device most people search online to check prices, compare models and see where a product is available in their city.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If a store appears during this research phase it has a strong chance of attracting the customer. If it does not appear the store may never even be considered.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The Discovery Gap Facing MSME Retailers</b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Large marketplaces and major retail chains invest heavily in digital infrastructure, marketing and product visibility. Because of this they dominate search results and product discovery.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Small retailers operate in a very different environment.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Across India thousands of MSME mobile retailers run successful local stores and maintain strong relationships with customers. They stock the latest smartphones and offer competitive pricing.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yet many of these stores remain invisible when customers search for devices online.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This invisibility is not because they lack inventory or service quality. The problem is that their store information and product availability are not structured in a way that discovery systems can easily identify.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a result a customer searching for</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Samsung S26 Ultra lowest price in Jaipur</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">iPhone 17 Pro best price near me</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nothing Phone availability in Jaipur</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">may only see large online marketplaces even though the same device could be available at a trusted local retailer nearby.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The New Retail Battle Is Visibility</b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the past retailers competed through discounts, exchange offers and promotional deals.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">today those factors still matter but they come later in the buying journey.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first battle is simply <b>being visible when customers begin researching products</b>.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Retailers who appear during the discovery phase gain attention and potential customers. Those who do not appear remain invisible regardless of how competitive their pricing might be.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For small retailers the biggest challenge today is not demand. It is discoverability.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>When Marketing Budgets Create an Uneven Playing Field</b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Large marketplaces spend massive budgets on marketing, advertising and search visibility.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Small MSME retailers cannot compete with such spending.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most local shop owners focus their resources on inventory, staff, rent and daily operations. Investing in complex digital marketing infrastructure is often beyond their financial capacity.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because of this imbalance many local retailers slowly lose their presence in digital product discovery.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Bridging the Discovery Gap</b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While the challenge is real it also creates an opportunity.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If store information and product availability can be structured properly local retailers can also appear when customers search for devices in their city.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This allows retailers to compete based on <b>availability, service and proximity</b>, rather than only marketing budgets.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One initiative attempting to solve this challenge is <b>Mobile Ki Dukaan</b>, a retail discovery platform that helps local mobile retailers become visible during product research searches.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Through the platform retailers can list their store and available products so that customers searching for smartphones can discover nearby shops where the device is actually in stock. More information about the platform can be found at <a href="https://mobilekidukaan.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://mobilekidukaan.in</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">More than <b>1000 mobile retailers across India</b> are already connected through the platform.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Importantly the platform allows retailers to join at <b>zero entry cost</b>, enabling even small neighbourhood mobile shops to participate without financial barriers.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The Future of Retail Discovery</b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Retail is entering a new phase where product discovery is becoming one of the most important factors in attracting customers.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Stores that are visible during the research stage will continue to grow while those that remain invisible may struggle even if they offer competitive prices and good service.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For millions of MSME retailers across India improving visibility may become the key to surviving in the next stage of retail evolution.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ensuring that local retailers remain discoverable could play a crucial role in keeping India’s retail ecosystem diverse and competitive.</p>

<description><![CDATA[ Enters
Brake Disc Segment with 200+ Part Numbers for 15+ Vehicle Brands

Setco
Auto Systems Pvt. Ltd. (Setco), India&#039;s leading manufacturer of MHCV clutches,
has announced the launch of its Brake Disc range, marking a significant
expansion into the brake segment. The new product line covers an extensive
portfolio of over 200 part numbers, catering to passenger cars, light
commercial vehicles (LCVs), and medium and heavy commercial vehicles (MHCVs)
from more than 15 leading automotive brands in India, with significant
opportunity to capture export markets in the PCV and MHCV categories.

The
Setco Brake Disc range is engineered to meet OEM specifications, offering
high-precision fitment, durable long-lasting performance, and optimal thermal
fade resistance. The discs feature both ventilated and solid configurations to
address diverse vehicle requirements, and are designed for quick fit and
instant bedding, delivering effective braking from the very first use. The
range has been developed using high-grade materials that resist wear, warping,
and corrosion, ensuring consistent braking performance and extended service
life across varied operating conditions.

Commenting
on the launch, Mr. Harish Sheth, Chairman &amp; MD, Setco Auto Systems Pvt.
Ltd., said, “The launch of our Brake Disc range marks an important step in
expanding our presence in safety-critical vehicle components. Leveraging our
decades of expertise in MHCV clutch systems, we are well-positioned to deliver
high-quality braking components to both OEM and aftermarket customers. India&#039;s
automotive aftermarket is one of the fastest growing in the world, and as the
number of vehicles on Indian roads grows rapidly across all segments, the
demand for reliable, OEM-grade brake components has never been higher. This
launch positions Setco to address that demand head-on, while also opening doors
to export markets where quality and fitment precision are non-negotiable.”

India&#039;s
automotive aftermarket is witnessing a clear shift from drum to disc brakes
across all vehicle segments, driven by stricter safety regulations, mandatory
ABS norms, and growing demand for superior braking performance. The global
brake disc market is projected to grow from USD 6.57 billion in 2024 to USD
10.73 billion by 2033, with Asia-Pacific leading both production and demand.
Backed by deep OEM relationships, a trusted product portfolio, and a pan-India
distribution network, Setco is primed to capitalise on this opportunity at home
and in export markets.

vehicles. With four manufacturing units, over 1,000 skilled employees, and a

<description><![CDATA[ Rustomjee
Enters Parel Extension with Vista Bay, a ~₹900 Cr GDV Development in Eastern
Mumbai

Mumbai,
18 March, 2026 : Rustomjee Group, one of Mumbai’s
leading real estate developers, has announced the launch of its new premium
gated residential estate in Parel Extension - Rustomjee Vista Bay, marking
its entry into a rapidly transforming seafront micro-market. The
development is shaped by large-scale infrastructure upgrades, including the
connector roadways and upcoming metro connectivity, which are redefining
accessibility and long-term value in the precinct. Planned as a low-density,
gated residential community, it addresses growing demand from affluent
homebuyers and investors seeking the prestige of a South Mumbai address
combined with evolving urban lifestyle.

Set
on a 1.52-acre land parcel, the Rustomjee Vista Bay comprises approximately
200 exclusive residences across a single tower with two wings, offering
spacious 2 and 3 BHK homes ranging from 805 sq. ft. to 1,356 sq. ft.
Designed for discerning homeowners who value privacy and long-term value, the
development features only four residences per core, generous
3.15-metre ceiling heights, and carefully planned layouts that ensure abundant
natural light, cross-ventilation and a strong sense of seclusion.

The
project offers dual-aspect views, capturing the Eastern seaboard and Mumbai’s
skyline, while its three-tiered amenity experience at the ground level,
elevated deck and rooftop has been carefully curated to elevate everyday
living. Highlights include a temperature-controlled, infinity-edge swimming
pool overlooking the eastern harbour, wellness and leisure spaces, and social
zones that encourage community without compromising privacy.



Positioned
at the intersection of legacy and rising potential, Parel Extension is fast
emerging as South Mumbai’s most compelling residential destination. With
infrastructure catalysts such as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (Atal Setu),
Sewri–Worli Elevated Connector, Orange gate Tunnel and Metro Line 11, residents
will enjoy seamless connectivity to BKC, Lower Parel, Fort, Navi Mumbai and the
Navi Mumbai International airport, transforming everyday commute and long-term
liveability.

Speaking
on the launch, Mr. Boman Irani, Chairman and Managing Director, Rustomjee
Group, said, “Urban growth in Mumbai has historically
followed infrastructure, and we believe the eastern edge of South Mumbai is
entering that phase of transition as connectivity and access across the city
continue to improve. Vista Bay marks our presence in Parel Extension at a time
when the neighbourhood is beginning to see renewed residential interest. With
this project, the focus has been on creating a residential development that is
measured in scale and disciplined in its planning, with efficient layouts and a
clear emphasis on liveability. In a city like Mumbai, we believe these
fundamentals ultimately determine the long-term relevance and value of a
residential development, while shaping neighbourhoods that grow in a more
considered and sustainable manner.”

Designed
by Sanjay Puri Architects, with landscaping by Newarch LLP and interiors by
Ashleys, the development reflects Rustomjee’s longstanding philosophy of
design-led, community-first living. Every element from thoughtful space
planning to amenity placement has been carefully considered to deliver both
immediate comfort and enduring value.

Parel
Extension is poised to become a defining address for those seeking exclusivity,
connectivity and long-term equity in a transforming neighbourhood, offering a
rare opportunity for buyers who may have missed earlier entry points into
Worli, Prabhadevi or Lower Parel to now secure a foothold in South Mumbai&#039;s
next growth corridor. This underscores Rustomjee&#039;s commitment to shaping
Mumbai&#039;s residential landscape with integrity, foresight and enduring purpose.

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/dr-l-ramachandrans-coimbatore-a-journey-through-culture-and-landscapes-coffee-table-book-and-documentary-launched</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The coffee table book and documentary film
titled “Coimbatore – A Journey through
Culture and Landscapes,” created by internationally acclaimed documentarian
Dr. L. Ramachandran, were formally launched on March 12, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. at
PSG Medical College in Coimbatore, in the presence of senior administrators,
industry leaders, and prominent members of the city’s civic and cultural
community.

The publication and documentary were
released by District Collector Pavankumar G. Giriyappanavar, I.A.S. The launch
ceremony was attended by several senior officials, including Additional
Collector and Corporation Commissioner Sivaguru Prabhakaran, I.A.S.,
Superintendent of Police Dr. Karthikeyan, I.P.S., and Deputy Director ATR
Devendra Kumar Meena, I.F.S.

Prominent industry leaders and civic
personalities, including D. Srinivasan, CODISSIA President M. Karthikeyan, and G.
Bhaktavachalam, were also present, along with distinguished guests from
Coimbatore’s business, medical, and cultural sectors.

Addressing the gathering, District
Collector Pavankumar G. Giriyappanavar appreciated the extraordinary vision and
perseverance of Dr. L. Ramachandran. He noted that the documentarian had
conceptualised the project independently and successfully transformed the idea
into a comprehensive visual record through months of travel, research, and
documentation. The Collector remarked that the coffee table book and
documentary serve as a valuable cultural archive and present the spirit of
Coimbatore to a wider audience.

Prominent hotelier D. Srinivasan, praising
Dr. Ramachandran’s efforts, said that the documentary and book beautifully portray
the pride, identity, and cultural vibrancy of Coimbatore. He added that the
filmmaker had created a visual “magic” that showcases the city with
authenticity and dignity.

Sharing insights into the making of the
project, Dr. L. Ramachandran said the documentary and coffee table book were
the result of nearly eight months of extensive travel, research, and visual
documentation across the district. The acclaimed filmmaker, known for projects
such as Chennai to Madras, Medley of Art, Virudhunagar, Khaki Mounts,
and Home of Chess, said the
Coimbatore project involved capturing the district’s landscapes, industries,
cultural traditions, and the lives of its people.

He explained that the process demanded
significant effort and perseverance. In search of the most authentic and
compelling visuals, he travelled across diverse terrains, from rural regions
and hill landscapes to bustling industrial areas and heritage locations. Dr.
Ramachandran noted that he ventured into remote corners of the district and
interacted with thousands of people from different walks of life to understand
the essence of Coimbatore. The “magic visuals” featured in the documentary and
the coffee table book, he said, are the result of months of exploration,
patience, and dedication across different seasons and climatic conditions. He
expressed confidence that the book will become a valuable reference for
tourism, researchers, and the public in the future.

Dr. Ramachandran expressed his heartfelt
gratitude to District Collector Pavankumar G. Giriyappanavar, I.A.S., for his
continuous encouragement, guidance, and administrative support, which played a
crucial role in the successful completion of the project.

He also extended special thanks to Tamil
Nadu Chief Secretary N. Muruganandam, I.A.S., for writing the foreword to the
coffee table book. Dr. Ramachandran said the Chief Secretary’s words add
immense value and recognition to the publication and strengthen its
significance as an important visual documentation of the Coimbatore district.

Concluding his address, Dr. Ramachandran
thanked his entire team for their dedication and teamwork in bringing the
project to completion. He also conveyed his appreciation to PRO Mr. Senthil
Anna, officials, guests, and well-wishers who attended the launch event and
made the occasion memorable.

<title>Form 1A Medical Certificate: What Drivers Need to Know About Driving Licence Rules in India</title>

<description><![CDATA[ A
Detailed Guide to Form 1A Medical Fitness Certificate Requirements,
Understanding Medical Fitness Rules, Parivahan Guidelines, and Online
Certification Options

Bangalore,
India, March 18, 2026 : Are you renewing your driving licence or
looking to upgrade to an international driving licence on the Parivahan portal?
Everything seems easy and straightforward, and then suddenly the portal asks
for a Medical Certificate Form 1A. At that moment, many drivers across India
take a pause and ask the same question: What exactly is Form 1A, and where do I
get it?

Every
year, millions of Indian drivers apply for new driving licences, existing Form
1A for driving licence renewal, international driving permits, or transport
licences encounter this hurdle. While the Form 1A driving licence document in
itself is very simple, confusion often arises around who can issue the
certificate. Whether a private doctor can issue a Form 1A certificate, what is
the eligibility for a faceless driving licence service, how to upload the Form
1A digitally, whether a digital Form 1A is required or a physical Form 1A copy
is necessary, rules can vary across different Regional Transport Offices (RTOs).
With too much information available online and usually too much misguidance
given by brokers and clerks to charge a large chunk of money for a simple
process, the drivers often end up being more confused than ever. 

India’s
digital licensing system processes an enormous number of applications every
year, and the exact numbers continue to grow as more states shift to digital
licensing workflows. According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways,
the National Sarathi and Parivahan platforms maintain records of more than 23
crore driving licences and have processed over 32 crore licence-related
transactions across the country. With such a large licensing ecosystem in
India, documentation requirements like Form 1A medical certificate for driving
licence can affect a significant number of applicants each year.

According
to Parul Pandey, COO, MedicalCertificate.in,
lack of clarity around the Form 1A Fitness Certificate is one of the most
common issues drivers face during licence applications.

“The
Form 1A medical certificate itself is not complicated, but the process of
obtaining it often becomes confusing for drivers,” Pandey explains. “The Form
1A requires certification about your hearing, visibility, and physical
capabilities to drive a motor vehicle. Different states follow slightly
different verification practices, and at times, the formats may also differ.
Many applicants are often unsure whether or not an RTO-empanelled doctor is
required for their Form 1A, and some only realise the requirement after
reaching the final stage of their licence application on the Parivahan portal.
Our goal at MedicalCertificate.in is
to simplify this process by offering a one-stop solution to obtain a valid Form
1A certificate from RTO approved doctor, for everyone. We not only connect
drivers with government-licensed medical practitioners through a structured
digital workflow but also help with online hearing and vision assessment, so
the certification is backed by proper and genuine information.”

As
digital driving licence services continue to expand across major Indian cities
such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Bhubaneswar, and Gurgaon, the application process has become more
streamlined through the Parivahan portal. However, this shift has also made
documentation requirements like the Form 1A medical certificate more visible at
critical stages of the application journey. For many applicants, the challenge
is no longer accessing the service, but understanding when Form 1A is required,
what format is acceptable, and how to obtain it correctly from a registered
medical practitioner. At its core, Form 1A is a medical fitness certificate
that plays a key role in determining a driver’s eligibility within the
licensing framework.

What
Is Form 1A in Driving License?

Form
1A is a medical fitness certificate required for certain driving licence
applications in India. It confirms that the applicant meets basic health
standards such as vision, hearing, and physical ability to drive safely.

Form
1A is issued by a registered medical practitioner after a basic health
evaluation. The doctor may examine eyesight, hearing ability, physical
coordination, and overall fitness required to operate a motor vehicle safely

It
is issued by a government-registered doctor after checking your overall health.
The doctor may examine things like your eyesight, hearing, body strength, and
mental alertness. This certificate is important because it makes sure that
drivers are physically and mentally fit to drive safely on the road. This
requirement comes from the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and the Central Motor
Vehicles Rules (CMVR), which allow transport au ]]></description>

Different states follow slightly different verification practices, and at times, the formats may also differ. Many applicants are often unsure whether or not an RTO-empanelled doctor is required for their Form 1A, and some only realise the requirement after reaching the final stage of their licence application on the Parivahan portal. Our goal at </span><span lang="EN"><a href="http://medicalcertificate.in/"><span>MedicalCertificate.in</span></a></span><span lang="EN"> is to simplify this process by offering a one-stop solution to obtain a valid Form 1A certificate from RTO approved doctor, for everyone. We not only connect drivers with government-licensed medical practitioners through a structured digital workflow but also help with online hearing and vision assessment, so the certification is backed by proper and genuine information.”</span></p>

However, this shift has also made documentation requirements like the Form 1A medical certificate more visible at critical stages of the application journey. For many applicants, the challenge is no longer accessing the service, but understanding when Form 1A is required, what format is acceptable, and how to obtain it correctly from a registered medical practitioner. At its core, Form 1A is a medical fitness certificate that plays a key role in determining a driver’s eligibility within the licensing framework.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">What Is Form 1A in Driving License?</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Form 1A is a medical fitness certificate required for certain driving licence applications in India. It confirms that the applicant meets basic health standards such as vision, hearing, and physical ability to drive safely.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Form 1A is issued by a registered medical practitioner after a basic health evaluation. The doctor may examine eyesight, hearing ability, physical coordination, and overall fitness required to operate a motor vehicle safely</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">It is issued by a government-registered doctor after checking your overall health. The doctor may examine things like your eyesight, hearing, body strength, and mental alertness. This certificate is important because it makes sure that drivers are physically and mentally fit to drive safely on the road. This requirement comes from the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), which allow transport authorities to ensure that drivers using public roads are medically capable of operating a vehicle safely.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The medical check for Form 1A is not a complicated health test. The doctor usually checks a few important things that affect driving, such as vision, the ability to recognise traffic signal colours, hearing ability, and overall physical coordination needed to control a vehicle. Once the doctor completes the evaluation, they sign the certificate and mention their medical registration number, which allows the Regional Transport Office (RTO) to verify the doctor if required.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Form 1A does not appear in every licence application. Instead, it usually becomes relevant in specific situations where the licensing authority wants medical confirmation that the applicant is fit to drive. It is a medical declaration that must be examined and certified by a registered medical practitioner. Under the Motor Vehicles framework used by Regional Transport Offices (RTOs), the certificate is generally required in the following cases:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Because the requirement appears only at specific stages of the licensing workflow, many applicants encounter different practical scenarios, usually while completing their application on the Parivahan portal, rather than at the very beginning of the process. This is often the point where drivers begin looking for a registered doctor who can issue the certificate in the correct format required for driving licence submission. In such situations, the applicant must obtain Form 1A medical certificate from a registered medical practitioner, who reviews the applicant’s basic health indicators, such as vision, hearing, and general physical fitness, before certifying the form.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">What information is needed for a Medical Certificate Form 1A Parivahan?</span></b><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Although the </span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://easymedicalcertificate.in/form-1a-medical-certificate-online/"><span>Form 1A from RTO approved doctor</span></a></span><span lang="EN"> may look technical at first glance, its structure is actually quite simple. The form is designed to capture only the basic medical information needed by licensing authorities to confirm that a driver is medically fit to operate a motor vehicle. The document generally follows three main sections.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">The first part is the Applicant Declaration- </span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In this section, the applicant’s basic personal information is already recorded based on the details submitted during the driving licence application. This typically includes the applicant’s name, guardian’s name, date of birth, address, and identification marks.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">These details come directly from the information provided by the applicant during the self-declaration stage on the Parivahan portal and from the identity documents submitted with the application. Because of this, the doctor does not edit or modify any information in this section.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Applicants sometimes approach doctors asking for corrections in names, dates of birth, or address details in the Form 1A document. However, this section is not controlled by the doctor. If any information is incorrect, the applicant must update or resubmit the correct details on the Parivahan portal themselves before generating the certificate.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This declaration, therefore, acts as the link between the applicant’s licence application and the medical evaluation being submitted to the Regional Transport Office (RTO).</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">The second part is the Medical Examination Section-</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In this section, the doctor records observations about the applicant’s health condition. The evaluation focuses only on medical factors that may affect a person’s ability to drive safely, such as vision, hearing, and overall physical coordination required to control a vehicle.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The Form 1A document contains a set of standard questions that the doctor must review and answer based on the applicant’s health condition. These questions are designed to check whether the applicant has any medical limitations that could affect safe driving.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For example, the doctor is required to verify:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN"><span>●<span>        </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN">Vision condition – whether the applicant has any eyesight problems and whether those issues can be corrected using spectacles if required.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN"><span>●<span>        </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN">Colour recognition – whether the applicant can clearly identify traffic signal colours such as red and green.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN"><span>●<span>        </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN">Distance vision – whether the applicant can read a vehicle number plate from approximately 25 metres away in daylight conditions.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN"><span>●<span>        </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN">Hearing ability – whether the applicant has any hearing difficulty that may prevent them from detecting normal traffic sounds like horns or warning signals.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN"><span>●<span>        </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN">Night vision – whether the applicant experiences difficulty seeing clearly in low-light or night conditions.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN"><span>●<span>        </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN">Physical fitness – whether the applicant has any physical disability, missing limb, or medical condition that may affect the ability to control a vehicle safely.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Based on the examination, the doctor answers each of these questions in the form with a simple “Yes” or “No” assessment and records their observations in the certificate.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Among these checks, vision and hearing evaluation are considered the most important because driving relies heavily on the ability to see road signals, identify obstacles, and hear warning sounds from surrounding vehicles. In many situations, applicants may obtain the Form 1A document without undergoing proper vision or hearing checks, which can later create problems when the certificate is reviewed by licensing authorities.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For this reason, it is generally recommended that applicants ensure that basic vision and hearing screening are actually performed before the doctor certifies the form. Platforms such as </span><span lang="EN"><a href="http://medicalcertificate.in/"><span>MedicalCertificate.in</span></a></span><span lang="EN"> help simplify this process by allowing applicants to complete the required vision and hearing assessment online and obtain an online medical certificate for a driving licence through a registered medical practitioner on the same platform, making the documentation process easier and more reliable.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">The final part is the Doctor’s Certification-</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">After completing the medical evaluation, the registered medical practitioner certifies whether the applicant is medically fit to drive. The doctor must clearly mention their name, signature, stamp, and medical registration number, which allows the Regional Transport Office (RTO) to verify the practitioner if required.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In most cases, the doctor also attests the applicant’s photograph on the Form 1A document by signing or stamping across it. This confirms that the medical examination was conducted for the same person whose details appear on the certificate.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Once the doctor signs, stamps, and attests the photograph, the Form 1A certification process is considered complete, and the document is ready for submission to the RTO.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">What Happens If the Doctor Cannot Certify Fitness?</span></b><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In most cases, applicants do not face any issues during the Form 1A evaluation because the medical check is basic. However, if the doctor finds a concern that may affect safe driving, the certificate may not be issued immediately.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For example, if a person has uncorrected vision problems, hearing difficulty, or another medical condition that affects driving ability, the doctor may advise the applicant to first address the issue before issuing the certificate. In many situations, the solution can be simple. Vision problems may be corrected with spectacles, after which the applicant can return for a re-evaluation. Once the doctor confirms that the issue has been managed and driving ability is not affected, the Form 1A certificate can be issued.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Applicants should also avoid submitting incorrect or misleading medical information in the form. Providing inaccurate details or skipping proper medical checks can lead to problems later if the certificate is reviewed during licence verification. If the certificate cannot be issued during the first visit, applicants can complete the recommended correction or treatment and request a fresh evaluation, after which the doctor can certify the form if the medical requirements are satisfied.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">State-Specific Rules That Often Confuse Drivers Applying for the Form 1A</span></b><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Although Form 1A medical certificate guidelines are broadly consistent across India, the way the certificate is issued, submitted, and verified can vary slightly from one state to another. These differences typically become visible when applicants are completing their driving licence services on the Parivahan portal, which is why many people are often unsure about the requirement for a physical certificate, an RTO-empanelled doctor, or a digitally issued Form 1A.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In practice, these variations are largely driven by how the state transport department verifies the issuing doctor, rather than changes to the actual Form 1A document itself. A digitally issued certificate from a registered medical practitioner is valid when submitted through the online application workflow. However, if the same document is printed for offline submission, it may not meet the physical verification requirements followed at certain RTOs, where the applicant’s photograph must be attested, and the document must carry a physical signature and stamp from the doctor. As a result, the mode of submission—online or offline—plays an important role in how the certificate is accepted, which often contributes to confusion among applicants.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">States Using RTO Empanelled Doctors </span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In some states, such if you are looking for Form 1A in Maharashtra, Form 1A in<span>  </span>Tamil Nadu, Form 1A in Odisha, and Form 1A in Chattisgarh, the transport department has introduced systems where RTO empanelled doctors are authorised to issue the RTO medical certificate directly within the licensing system.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In these states, the doctor completing the Form 1A must be registered on the transport department’s panel. During the certification process, the doctor enters the applicant’s licence application details, and the system may generate an OTP verification. This OTP is sent to the applicant’s registered mobile number and must be entered during the certification process to confirm that the medical certificate is linked to the correct licence application.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Because the certificate is issued through the Parivahan system, the doctor’s details and the certificate record automatically become part of the digital driving licence application file.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">These state-level variations often create uncertainty for applicants, particularly around whether certification must be obtained from a government hospital, an RTO-empanelled doctor, or a general registered medical practitioner. In some cases, procedural details—such as green ink signatures required only in specific government hospital-based physical certification scenarios—add to this confusion and are often misunderstood. While verification processes may differ across states, the underlying requirement remains consistent: the certificate must be issued by a registered medical practitioner whose credentials can be verified by the licensing authority if required.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">At this stage, many applicants realise they cannot proceed further on the portal without completing the medical certificate requirement. Once the Parivahan portal indicates that a Form 1A medical certificate is required, the applicants need to figure out how to get a medical certificate for a driving licence, and to do the same, the next step is finding a RTO empanelled doctor to get a certificate from a registered medical practitioner. Traditionally, applicants had to visit hospitals or clinics to complete the certification. However, with digital health services becoming more common, many drivers now complete the same process online.</span></p>

In most cases, vision and hearing tests are not available at the same place, forcing the applicant to visit multiple clinics or facilities. After completing these tests, another visit is usually required for a physical evaluation, often involving long waiting times with no clear timeline. The doctor completes the form at their convenience, leaving the applicant with little visibility on progress. Finally, the certificate must be collected physically, which may require additional follow-ups and repeat visits. Overall, the process becomes time-consuming, effort-heavy, and prone to delays or errors if not handled correctly.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">As driving licence services move online, many applicants now prefer obtaining their Form 1A medical certificate through structured digital platforms. The main reason is convenience. Instead of locating RTO-empanelled doctors, visiting multiple clinics, or coordinating separate vision and hearing checks, applicants can complete the process through a single guided workflow.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Platforms such as </span><span lang="EN"><a href="http://medicalcertificate.in/"><span>MedicalCertificate.in</span></a></span><span lang="EN"> combine medical evaluation, eye and ear screening, and doctor certification in one place. Because the certificate is issued by a registered medical practitioner with verifiable medical registration details, it remains compatible with Parivahan licence applications.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For applicants applying for medical certificates for driving license renewal, transport licences, or international driving permits, this approach reduces delays and helps ensure the Form 1A document is generated in the correct format required for licence submission.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Form 1A for International Driving Permit (IDP)</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">When applying for an International Driving Permit (IDP), many Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) require submission of a Form 1A medical certificate to confirm that the applicant is medically fit to drive in foreign jurisdictions. While the requirement may vary across RTOs, it is commonly requested, particularly for international permit issuance where medical fitness confirmation is required. The certificate ensures that the applicant meets basic health standards, including adequate vision, hearing, and physical coordination, which are essential for safe driving internationally. As with domestic applications, the Form 1A for IDP must be issued by a registered medical practitioner whose credentials can be verified by the licensing authority, and it must be submitted in the format accepted by the Parivahan system or the respective RTO.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">To obtain a valid Form 1A medical certificate, the document must be issued by a registered medical practitioner whose credentials can be verified by the Regional Transport Office (RTO).

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Making Form 1A Simpler for Drivers</span></b><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For most drivers, the Form 1A medical certificate is not a complicated requirement. It is a basic medical declaration that confirms an individual is physically capable of operating a motor vehicle safely. However, because this requirement appears mid-way through the driving licence workflow and state-level verification practices vary, many applicants encounter confusion at the exact stage when they are trying to complete their application.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Whether someone is renewing a driving licence, applying for an international driving permit, or upgrading a licence category, understanding how the Form 1A certification process works becomes critical to avoiding delays.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"><a href="http://medicalcertificate.in/"><span>MedicalCertificate.in</span></a></span><span lang="EN"> addresses this gap by structuring the entire certification process into a single, guided workflow.

The certificate is then issued in the correct format required for licence submission, ensuring alignment with Parivahan and RTO-level verification requirements.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">As driving licence services across India continue to shift towards digital workflows, clarity around documentation such as Form 1A is becoming increasingly important. With proper guidance and verified medical certification, applicants can complete their licence applications with greater confidence. At the same time, since RTO rules vary across states and cities, applicants are advised to check their local requirements before proceeding, especially in cases involving physical submission or state-specific verification practices. By integrating doctor certification, vision and hearing screening, and documentation workflows within a single system, the platform reduces fragmentation and enables applicants to complete certification requirements efficiently without unnecessary clinic visits.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Saatvik Green Energy Limited has supported the
development of a Blood Center at Dr. Jai Dev Memorial Rotary Ambala Hospital
through a CSR grant.

●       
The initiative aims to strengthen healthcare
infrastructure and improve access to safe blood services in Ambala and
surrounding regions.

●       
The Blood Center was inaugurated in the
presence of Geeta Manishi Swami Shri Gyananand Ji Maharaj, with Mr. Parmod Garg,
Director, Saatvik Green Energy Limited, attending as Guest of Honour.

Ambala,
March 17, 2026 : Saatvik Green Energy Limited, one of India’s
fastest-growing fully integrated renewable energy companies listed on the BSE
and NSE, has reinforced its commitment to community development and healthcare
access by contributing to the development of a Blood Center at Dr. Jai Dev
Memorial Rotary Ambala Hospital.

The
newly established Blood Center was formally inaugurated on Tuesday in the
presence of Geeta Manishi Swami Shri Gyananand Ji Maharaj, who attended the
event as the Chief Guest. 

Speaking
on the occasion as the Guest of Honour, Mr. Parmod Garg, Director, Saatvik
Green Energy Limited, said, “At Saatvik, we believe that sustainable growth must go
hand in hand with the wellbeing of the communities around us. As a company
committed to building a more sustainable future, we see it as equally important
to contribute to meaningful social impact. Access to reliable healthcare
infrastructure remains a critical need, and initiatives such as this Blood
Center play a vital role in ensuring timely availability of life-saving
services. We are pleased to support the development of this facility and hope
it will serve the people of Ambala and surrounding regions for years to come.”

The
initiative is expected to significantly enhance the hospital’s capacity to
provide timely and reliable blood services to patients across Ambala and nearby
districts. Access to safe and well-equipped blood centers is a critical
component of healthcare systems, particularly during medical emergencies,
surgeries, and maternal care. The new facility aims to address this need by
improving the availability and management of blood supplies for the local
community.

With
Ambala serving as a key urban and transit hub in Haryana, the Blood Center is
expected to benefit not only city residents but also patients from surrounding
towns and rural areas who rely on the hospital for medical care.

Alongside
its contributions to India’s renewable energy transition, the company continues
to support initiatives that improve quality of life in communities around its
operational regions, particularly in areas such as healthcare, education, and
rural development.

Local
community leaders, members of the Rotary Club, and residents from across Ambala
attended the inauguration ceremony, marking the occasion as an important step
toward strengthening healthcare support systems in the region.

<title>EAU LAA LAA Introduces Emotion&amp;Driven Luxury Fragrances Designed to Create Lasting Memories</title>

<description><![CDATA[ India, [17/03/2026] : In the evolving
world of luxury perfumery, EAU LAA LAA is redefining how fragrances are experienced.
Built on the philosophy that scent should not only be worn but remembered, the
brand brings together emotion, memory, and individuality in every bottle.

Founded by Shraddha
and Nikhil, EAU LAA LAA was created from the belief that
fragrance holds the unique ability to capture emotion and transform everyday
moments into lasting memories. Inspired by the way a scent can evoke nostalgia,
confidence, or desire within seconds, the founders set out to create perfumes that
feel deeply personal to the wearer.

The brand made its
debut with three expressive fragrances — Forest Echo, Burnt Sugar,
and Sacred Oud — each designed to evoke a distinct mood and sensory
experience.

Forest Echo reflects freshness
and vitality, inspired by the crisp energy of nature. Burnt Sugar brings
warmth and indulgent sweetness, reminiscent of comforting and irresistible
moments. Sacred Oud, on the other hand, captures timeless depth and
sophistication through rich woody notes.

With a modern aesthetic
and an emotionally driven fragrance philosophy, EAU LAA LAA represents a
new generation of fragrance brands where luxury meets individuality. The brand
aims to create perfumes that go beyond scent — inviting wearers into a sensory
story where every fragrance becomes a personal expression.

By blending refined
scent compositions with a distinctive identity, EAU LAA LAA continues to
position itself as a contemporary fragrance house focused on crafting memorable

<title>Scientific Aromatherapy in India: Understanding Therapeutic Essential Oils</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/scientific-aromatherapy-in-india-understanding-therapeutic-essential-oils</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/scientific-aromatherapy-in-india-understanding-therapeutic-essential-oils</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Essential
oils are highly concentrated extracts obtained from plants that contain the
plant’s active aromatic molecules. In everyday life, many Indians are already
familiar with their effects: lavender essential oil used to support restful
sleep, eucalyptus essential oil inhaled during colds, or even traditional
Indian botanicals like tulsi and sandalwood used for respiratory comfort and
mental calm. Scientific Aromatherapy builds on this traditional wisdom by
applying modern chemistry and clinical understanding to how these essential
oils work in the body.

In Scientific
Aromatherapy, essential oils are not treated as lifestyle fragrances, but as
therapeutic agents with measurable physiological effects—when sourced,
formulated, and used correctly. According to industry estimates, India’s
essential oil and aromatherapy market has been growing at over 15% annually,
reflecting a clear shift among consumers toward natural, evidence based
wellness solutions.

At a molecular
level, essential oils are complex mixtures of naturally occurring compounds
such as terpenes, esters, oxides etc. These molecules interact with the body
through inhalation and skin application, influencing respiratory pathways, the
nervous system, immune responses, and skin health. In Europe, scientific
aromatherapy has long been integrated into mainstream healthcare, with
essential oils used in hospitals, recommended by trained pharmacists and
doctors, and regulated for quality and safety.

The
Quality Gap: Why All Essential Oils Are Not the Same

As interest in
natural wellness grows in India, essential oils have become widely available
online and in retail. However, not all essential oils offer true therapeutic
value. Many low-cost products rely on dilution with carrier oils, the addition
of synthetic fragrance molecules, or partial reconstruction of aromas to cut
costs. While these products may smell pleasant, they often lack the full
spectrum of active plant compounds required for real therapeutic action.

High-quality
essential oils depend on several non-negotiable factors: correct botanical
species, controlled cultivation, optimal harvest timing, precise extraction
methods, and rigorous testing. Scientific aromatherapy relies on

1.Chemotyped
essential oils – oils precisely defined by their dominant active molecules,
ensuring predictable therapeutic action. 

2.GC–MS
(Gas Chromatography &amp; Mass Spectrometry) testing – advanced laboratory
analysis used to verify purity, potency, and safety by identifying every major
and minor component in the essential oil.  

The objective is
not to alarm consumers, but to enable informed choices: when it comes to
essential oils, quality defines outcomes.

Puraroma:
Bringing Scientific Aromatherapy to India

Founded
through a collaboration between Indian entrepreneurs and European aromatherapy
experts, Puraroma was created to bridge this quality gap.
The brand brings European standards of scientific aromatherapy to Indian
consumers, focusing on 100% natural, pure, and complete essential oils,
supported by formulation science rather than marketing claims.

Puraroma’s
formulations are developed with a strong emphasis on dosage, safety, and
consistency. Each product uses carefully calibrated concentrations of essential
oils—high enough to be effective, yet safe &amp; gentle for everyday use.
Quality control, traceability, and testing ensure that every bottle delivers
the same therapeutic reliability.

Cold
&amp; Flu: Supporting Respiratory Health Naturally

One
of Puraroma’s most widely known categories is Cold &amp; Flu care,
designed for seasonal congestion, blocked sinuses, sore throat, and respiratory
discomfort. These formulations are developed under the guidance of Dr. Dominique Baudoux, a
globally respected aromatherapy scientist with over 40 years of experience and
the author of more than 50 reference books on medical aromatherapy.

Essential oils
such as eucalyptus, peppermint, and rosemary are selected for their
well-documented decongestant, antiviral, and respiratory-supportive properties.
Puraroma’s range includes innovative formats suited to Indian lifestyles—nasal
sprays for congestion, throat sprays for pain relief, and allergy sprays
addressing dust and pollen sensitivities common in urban environments. Each
product reflects a guarantee of quality, precision, and safety in every bottle.

Sleep
&amp; Relaxation: Restoring Balance Through the Nervous System

Another
key category is Sleep
&amp; Relaxation, addressing one of modern India’s most widespread
challenges: chronic stress and poor-quality sleep. Essential oils such as true
lavender, mandarin, and chamomile are known to support the nervous system by
calming stress responses and encouraging relaxation.

Delivered through
ready-to-use formats, these products support healthier sleep &amp; stress
relief routines without sedatives or habit-forming ingredients. T ]]></description>

<title>The One&amp;Generation Jump: How Yuva Unstoppable’s Scholarship Program Is Lifting Families Out of Poverty</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Mr.
Amitabh Shah, founder of Yuva Unstoppable, joined by cricketing legend Mr. VVS
Laxman and co-founder of Infosys: S. D. Shibulal)

In the competitive landscape of India’s premier engineering
and management institutes, a quiet revolution is taking place. It is a
revolution fuelled not just by intellect, but by the sheer force of resilience.
Over the last decade, Yuva Unstoppable, a nationally leading non-profit
organisation, has moved beyond traditional philanthropy to create a &quot;Scholarship
to High-trajectory Careers&quot; pipeline that is currently placing
students from the country’s most marginalised backgrounds into high-paying
corporate roles at global giants.

The Quantifiable Reach of Change

In the
competitive landscape of India’s premier engineering and management institutes,
a quiet revolution is taking place. This revolution is fueled not just by
intellect, but by the sheer force of resilience. Yuva Unstoppable has moved
beyond traditional philanthropy to create a &quot;Scholarship to
High-trajectory Careers&quot; pipeline, placing students from marginalized
backgrounds into high-paying roles at global giants.

The scale
of this transformation is reflected in the program’s track record:

●     
₹66.7 Crores disbursed in total scholarship funds.

●     
3,200+ Scholars entered Government Medical Colleges.

●     
500+ Students secured seats at prestigious IITs.

●     
100% of participating families have been lifted out of poverty.

With a
demographic split of 56% male and 44% female, and an average scholarship of
₹43,500, we are seeing students from families of manual laborers securing
corporate packages as high as 50 LPA.

Bridging the &quot;Opportunity Gap&quot;

The program&#039;s success is best measured by the radical
transformation of family legacies. A shining example of this is the story of Shruti
Shelar. The daughter of a sugarcane farmer with a staggering annual income
of just ₹57,000, Shruti navigated her engineering degree with the support of a Yuva
Unstoppable scholarship. Today, she is a software developer at SAP Labs
Bangalore, commanding a package of ₹16 LPA, the highest on her campus. In a
single stroke of a pen on an appointment letter, a family’s economic trajectory
was permanently altered.

Echoing this emotion, Jamil Khatri, Founder of Uniqus,
remarked at the launch of Yuva Unstoppable’s scholarship technology platform,&quot;Education
is a passport out of poverty. If you have education on your side, you can
actually fight against all odds and actually make a life for yourself. If you
have the ability to get education, and then you have the merit, you have the
ability to change not just your life, but the life of your entire family.&quot;

For many brilliant students, the barrier to success isn&#039;t a
lack of merit, but a lack of resources. Subrat Samal, the son of a small
footwear shopkeeper in Odisha, faced the daunting financial burden of an IIT
Kharagpur education. Through the scholarship program, he was able to focus
entirely on his specialised field. He now works as an AI Engineer at Genpact
in Bangalore with a package of ₹17.5 LPA. Speaking about his journey,
Subrat remarked, “Your starting point doesn’t decide your finish line. It
only decides how much grit, courage, and stubborn belief you’ll need to get
there.”

By providing not just tuition fees, but also laptops,
mindset coaching, and professional mentorship, the organisation ensures that
students from government schools can compete and win against peers from the
most privileged backgrounds.

Resilience as a Professional Asset

The corporate world is increasingly recognizing that the
grit required to overcome poverty is a formidable professional asset. Ritu
Maurya, an IIT Delhi student, embodies this shift. Her journey was defined
by a blurred path, facing unpaid fees and heavy family debt during COVID, yet
she never lost her &quot;momentum.&quot; As Ritu puts it: &quot;Like
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, life may blur the exact path, but momentum
still carries you forward.&quot; This focus allowed her to
transition from a student without a laptop to an R&amp;D Engineer at SEDEMAC
with a seven-figure package.

Similarly, Varsha Sinha from Ahmedabad, who lost her
father just before her graduation exams, used the support of Yuva
Unstoppable to clear all levels of her CA exams on her first attempt. She
now works at UltraTech Cement with a CTC of ₹12 lakhs and has bought a
home worth ₹50 lakhs for her family.

A New Era of CSR

The scholarship program has become a preferred partner for
India’s top CXOs and CSR heads because of its clear ROI: social mobility.
Whether it is Yash Shah, who rose from his mother’s khakhra-selling
business to a career in US Taxation at an 8 LPA package, or the hundreds of
others entering the workforce, the result is the same.

Amitabh Shah, the
founder of Yuva Unstoppable, often emphasises that financial aid is
merely the first step. &quot;&quot;A scholarshi ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Erode,
Tamil Nadu, 17th March 2026 : Fortune
City formally unveiled its new brand identity on 16th March 2026
alongside a soft launch of Avenue Mall, marking a significant milestone
in its transformation into an integrated retail, lifestyle and entertainment
destination for the Kongu region.

The
launch event was held at the Fortune City which is located on the
Coimbatore–Salem National Highway in the presence of a select gathering. The
evening featured a ceremonial lamp lighting and the official unveiling of the Fortune
City logo by the dignitaries.

The
event also marked the soft launch of Avenue Mall, the large retail and
lifestyle zone spread across 4,00,000 sq. ft., positioned as a key
anchor inside Fortune City. The mall is designed to host a curated mix of
national &amp; international brands across lifestyle, food, and entertainment.

Speaking
on the occasion, Mr. C. Devarajan, MD, URC Constructions, a key investor
in the project said the unveiling of Fortune City comes at a momentous
time for Erode, with the Government of Tamil Nadu’s recent launch of Tidel
Park Neo in the adjacent campus.

“As
Erode evolves and attracts a younger workforce, including professionals from
the emerging IT and services sectors, destinations like Fortune City will play
an important role in meeting their changing lifestyle aspirations.

Fortune
City has been planned to complement this next phase of growth by offering a
well-rounded destination for shopping, entertainment, dining and social
experiences, with accommodation and hospitality as part of its broader
long-term vision,” he added.

S.
Shriram, Founder &amp; CEO, Miles2Go Consulting Services,
said “Fortune City’s master-plan strategy, conceptualised by Miles2Go
includes nine integrated elements - retail spaces, F&amp;B districts,
multiplex cinemas, sports arena, office spaces, event venues, co-living areas,
a leisure hotel and one of India’s largest EV hubs with 100 charging points.”

“Fortune
City has been envisioned as an all-in-one space, created for the people of the
Kongu region. We believe this will grow as a destination not just for
today’s consumers, but for the next generation as well”, he added. 

Fortune
City signals the beginning of a new chapter for
Erode’s retail and lifestyle landscape, with a destination designed to serve
consumers, brands and businesses across the region. ]]></description>

<title>Indian Overseas Youth Congress Australia Opens First Office in Sydney</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indian-overseas-youth-congress-australia-opens-first-office-in-sydney</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indian-overseas-youth-congress-australia-opens-first-office-in-sydney</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Sydney, Australia : The Indian Overseas Youth Congress Australia (IOYCA) has inaugurated
its first official office in Sydney, marking a step towards expanding
structured youth engagement and strengthening organisational presence within
the Indian diaspora community in Australia.

 

The office, located at 11/593 Withers Road,
Rouse Hill, NSW 2155, was inaugurated on Sunday, 8 March, by Manoj Sheoran,
President of Indian Overseas Congress Australia, along with Gurjinder Singh
Gavy, National President of Indian Overseas Youth Congress Australia (IOYCA).
The new facility is intended to function as a central coordination hub for
youth-focused initiatives, leadership engagement, and community outreach
programs.

 

With an emerging network of around 500 members
across major Australian cities, IOYCA aims to expand its outreach through
structured engagement with Indian youth, students, and the wider diaspora
community. The organisation currently operates across key urban centres,
including Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, and plans to further strengthen its
presence nationwide.

 

The Sydney office will serve as a platform to
promote democratic values, youth leadership, and community service, while
fostering stronger connections between the Indian diaspora and broader civic
engagement initiatives.

 

Speaking on the occasion, Gurjinder Singh Gavy
said, “The opening of this office represents an important milestone in
creating organised platforms for youth participation and meaningful diaspora
engagement.”

 

Over the next three months, IOYCA plans to
organise youth membership drives, student interaction programs, cultural and
community events, leadership discussions, and volunteer initiatives across
Australian cities, with a focus on actively engaging young members of the
Indian community.

 

IOYCA functions as the youth platform of the
Indian Overseas Congress and draws ideological inspiration from the broader
vision of the Indian National Congress leadership. The newly inaugurated Sydney
office is expected to play a key role in facilitating coordination, member
outreach, and the implementation of future youth-focused initiatives.

 

Further programs and expansion activities are
expected to be announced in the coming months. ]]></description>

<title>Efficient Capital Labs Unveils ECL Flow to Simplify Cross Border Payments Between the US and India for AI and SaaS Companies</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/efficient-capital-labs-unveils-ecl-flow-to-simplify-cross-border-payments-between-the-us-and-india-for-ai-and-saas-companies</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, March 17, 2026 : Efficient Capital Labs today announced
the launch of ECL Flow, a cross border payments solution designed to
help AI and SaaS companies move funds from the United States to India with
greater speed, transparency and control.

As AI and SaaS startups scale globally,
their teams, customers and financial operations are increasingly spread across
multiple countries. While these companies build products for a global market,
moving money across borders still relies on systems that were not designed for
the speed at which modern startups operate.

For many founders sending funds from the
United States to India, cross border transfers can take several days to settle.
Foreign exchange costs are often unclear, and compliance documentation such as
FIRCs requires manual follow ups with banks. These delays create operational
challenges for companies that need predictable cash flow to run payroll, pay
vendors and manage day to day operations.

ECL Flow aims to simplify how startups
manage international payments while giving founders and finance teams more
clarity and control over their financial operations.

The platform offers one business day
settlement from USD to INR, transparent foreign exchange pricing, automated
compliance documentation including foreign inward advice FIRCs, and real time
payment tracking. By simplifying these processes, the solution allows startups
to move funds with greater speed and predictability.

The need for such infrastructure becomes
especially visible during critical financial cycles. For many startups
operating between the United States and India, the pressure often peaks toward
the end of the month when finance teams are coordinating payroll, contractor
payments and vendor invoices.

To avoid delays, teams frequently
initiate transfers several days in advance, hoping the funds will arrive in
time. Even with this buffer, settlement timelines can remain unpredictable.
When payments are delayed, payroll cycles can be disrupted, vendor
relationships may be strained, and companies often maintain larger cash buffers
simply to reduce operational risk.

“We kept hearing the same thing from
founders and finance teams. Payments were taking too long, pricing was not
always clear, and teams were spending unnecessary time following up with
banks,” said Kaustav
Das, Co founder and CEO of Efficient Capital Labs. “ECL Flow was built
to make cross border payments faster and more predictable so startups can
operate with greater confidence.”

Through its work with global startups,
Efficient Capital Labs observed that founders were increasingly frustrated with
how money moved across borders, especially across the USD to INR corridor. As
more AI and SaaS companies generate revenue in the United States while
maintaining engineering and operations teams in India, efficient cross border
payments have become essential to running global businesses.

Early adopters of ECL Flow are already
seeing measurable benefits. One global B2B SaaS company in the travel industry
reduced its effective foreign exchange costs by more than 50 percent after
switching from a traditional banking setup to ECL Flow.

“We assumed our FX pricing was
competitive until we reviewed what actually landed in our accounts,” said a finance leader at the company. “With
ECL Flow, the process is clearer, settlement happens much faster, and our team
spends far less time tracking payments or worrying about whether funds will
arrive on time.”

As AI and SaaS startups continue to
operate across borders from the very beginning, the systems that support them
are beginning to evolve as well. With the launch of ECL Flow, Efficient Capital
Labs aims to provide a modern approach to cross border payments that aligns
with the pace and scale at which today’s global startups operate.

infrastructure including non dilutive capital and cross border payment

<title>Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi Calls for Radical Reform to Address the Pendency Crisis</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/dr-abhishek-manu-singhvi-calls-for-radical-reform-to-address-the-pendency-crisis</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, 17 March, 2026 : At the inaugural session of the seminar on “Delivering
Justice in Time: Global Practices and Indian Experiences”, jointly organised by
O.P. Jindal Global University and the National Law University Delhi, Dr.
Abhishek M. Singhvi, Senior Advocate, Supreme Court of India &amp; Member of
Parliament, while delivering the keynote address critiqued the high number of
pendency of cases in the Indian Judiciary.

“It’s
really a paradox that India, which has had the highest flights of jurisprudential
excellence, the most sophisticated and nuanced doctrines of law, the most
avant-garde concepts, the best and brightest in law both in the bar and at the
bench with vibrant, pulsating new doctrines like the basic structure of the
Indian constitution, where even a constitutional amendment can be
unconstitutional, PILs and the concept of judicial review, we have the scourge
of backlog of cases and legal pendency. Today we have near-abouts 4.7 to 5.5
crores cases in current arrears,” Dr Singhvi said.

“It
is important to observe that 54% of all the pendency cases – and this is a
figure from 2019 – were in five High Courts: UP, Punjab, Madras, Bombay and
Rajasthan. We have reached a stage where we must concentrate, calibrate, and
focus. As these figures vary, it has been seen that criminal matters constitute
the overwhelming bulk. Many commissions have been appointed but we need radical
and innovative steps to apply to arrears, pendency and backlog than to any
other field,” he said. “At any point of time in our roughly 80-year-old
history, one third of all High Court sanctioned posts and one fourth of the
total district or lower judiciary posts remain vacant! We need new policy which
is consistently implemented over a period of 5-7 years to see the results. To deal
with the ABCD – the Access, Backlog, Cost and Delay issues – arising, the first
is an obvious solution: appoint more judges.”

Dr
Singhvi further elaborated and said, “You need to subject each court to a
statistical analysis. Today we have the latest tools, latest tracks and
methodologies. We must therefore insist on having multiple tracks in each court
from the lowest district court, the lowest civil court to the High Courts. It’s
extremely easy today to give that statistical profile only on three fronts:
dependency of time, category of matter and other subcategories. Apply
management techniques to keep abreast of current filings, for example, within a
period of three to five months and separate tracks to deal with the old cases
above 10 years and hopefully above 5 and 10 years. Have a holistic, curative
and a preventive approach and be bold and unconventional. And last but not the
least, bring about an attitudinal change.”

Regarding
the vacancies on the bench, Dr. Singhvi asked why we do not appoint ad-hoc
judges. “It is astonishing that a constitutional amendment which allows ad-hoc
judges to be appointed has never been used in the High Court, perhaps with one
or two exceptions,” he said. “In appointing ad-hoc judges to fill vacancies,
you are using tried, tested and incumbent people. Furthermore, you get
experienced and qualified retired judges who will be happy to be of service. At
the same time, 62 is no retirement age in India even by medical science or
global standards.”

Focusing
on practical solutions, Dr Singhvi further added, “We are now blessed with the
latest state-of-the-art Mediation Act in 2023. Mediation is the intermediate
way of solving the problem, because we have this remarkable success of Lok
Adalats. By my count in 2023, more than 20 crore cases were settled by Lok
Adalats, though unfortunately it is limited to category like land acquisition
to motor accidents etc. The ideal is for another category of petty civil and
criminal offense which can be added to Lok Adalats. This can prevent the
clogging of the justice system.”

“The
other big failure is arbitration,” Dr Singhvi elucidated. “It was originally
created as a bypass to prevent the clogging of legal arteries. Today,
arbitration has become pre-litigation litigation! It is nothing but adding
another limb to litigation. The need of the hour is mediation of conciliation.
The Chief Justice of India recently gave a startling statistic: that India has
only 13,000 trained mediators! We need 2.5 lakh mediators and he has himself
started the process of identifying 1.68 crores mediators in the next 10 years
which is a very welcome development. In the criminal justice system, given our
prison population which is highest in the world, the percentage of undertrials
is also highest. Many have served half of their maximum sentence and most of
them are afflicted by one big crime: poverty. We must now start experimenting
with the anklet system for certain kinds of crime. Given the technology
available today, it allows an undertrial to be confined to a specific place
with accuracy. There is no point shun ]]></description>

<title>Attorney General for India Calls for a New Framework for Plea Bargaining at Seminar on Delivering Justice In Time</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, 16 March, 2026 : Mr. R. Venkataramani, Attorney General for
India, called for a new framework for plea bargaining based on social,
cultural, economic theories and practices at the inaugural session of the
seminar on “Delivering Justice in Time: Global Practices and Indian
Experiences”, jointly organised by O.P. Jindal Global University and the
National Law University Delhi.

“Plea
bargaining is becoming universal. There’s a new need for a national protocol
for plea bargaining, a national protocol which can be evolved and which can, in
a very healthy way, advise, guide and counsel practitioners as well as victims
of justice, so that the protocol can work in a more transparent and objective
way. The legal and civil authority should be prepared to play important roles.
The Chief Justice of India has consented to have a strong internal discussion
on it. Existing legal mechanisms will also be made ready to look with a new
lens and that there is concession for the defense and the resource management
for the state. The resource management for the state is not only relevant for
the plea bargaining aspect. It is resource value for the state, essentially,
like an economic principle which should run through the entire administration
of justice. This is why I have been thinking about a National Institute for
Criminal Justice Administration which will also have an everyday index where we
watch the measurement and performance. Those who practice in the trial court
will find out how painful it is for people to simply waste their resources for
governments, institutions, people, lawyers and judges as well as time!” he
said.

“A
Legal Health Index is important for our country. The Legal Health Index will
probably identify factors which will include preventative and predictable
procedures, the ease of justice, what roles each one of us can play and what
kind of resources’ investment that we require. Therefore, a Legal Health Index
should be properly conceived, identified and then operationalized. And who
should do that? I do not think it needs to be necessarily in the hands of
governance institutions but it is a role for law schools and universities in
conceiving and maintaining the Legal Health Index. It’s important also for the
community to get intellectually involved and to give a different point of
view,” the Attorney General added.

In
his Keynote Address, Dr. Abhishek M. Singhvi, Senior Advocate, Supreme Court of
India &amp; Member of Parliament, spoke about the large
pendency of cases in India. “It is the paradox of India’s legal system, capable
of producing some of the world’s most sophisticated jurisprudence, while
simultaneously struggling with a massive backlog of cases. We need to deal with
the ‘ABCD’—the access, backlog, cost and delay issues, and the obvious step is
to appoint court judges. We need to fill judicial vacancies, adopt multi-track
case management systems, resolve very old cases through dedicated mechanisms,
strengthen mediation and revive Gram Nyayalayas, and improve coordination
across courts, police and prisons. We need a synergy and focus to deal with the
high number of pending cases which is also holistic. We need a curative and
preventive approach and unconventional in a bold, new methodology to address
the issue. The other extreme, which is a big failure, is arbitration. Arbitration
has become pre-litigation litigation which is just adding one more separate
limb to the process but the reality is that there are not enough trained
mediators and this needs to be addressed on a war footing. There is also the
issue of human infrastructure. The criminal law justice system includes the
criminal hearing judge, the police and the prison staff and all these have to
be synergically coordinated.” He also called for reconsidering the retirement
age disparity between High Courts and the Supreme Court and emphasized
long-term consistency in reform implementation.

In
his Welcome Address, Prof. (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor, O.P.
Jindal Global University, emphasized that the rule of law depends not
only on constitutional design or legal doctrine but on the ability of
institutions to deliver justice in a timely, fair and effective manner. “I
highlight India’s pendency crisis—with over 5 crore pending cases—where there
is a need for systemic reforms and I propose five pillars for transforming
justice delivery: These include: strengthening judicial capacity; procedural
reform and active case management; technology and artificial intelligence in
courts; expansion of plea bargaining and pre-trial mechanisms; and data-driven
justice governance.” Dr. Raj Kumar lauded the collaboration between National
Law University Delhi, Jindal Global Law School, and O.P. Jindal Global
University. He expressed the intention to expand the seminar into a nationwide
series of discussions across multiple cities and states with the aim of

<title>From Monitoring to Healing: &amp;apos;Save the foot&amp;apos; App Empowers Doctors and Patients in the Fight Against DFU</title>

<description><![CDATA[ PUNE,
India — March 16, 2026 : A groundbreaking artificial intelligence
(AI) mobile application, Save the foot, was officially unveiled on March
14th at the 10th International Diabetes Summit held at the JW Marriott, Pune.
This innovative digital tool is designed to help both clinicians and patients
manage diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) with greater speed and precision, aiming to
significantly reduce avoidable amputations.

The
launch was headlined by two distinguished experts who provided critical
clinical perspectives on the impact of this technology:

●     
Dr. Unnikrishnan AG
(CEO &amp; Chief Endocrinologist, Chellaram Diabetes Institute) offered
insights into systemic diabetes management, emphasizing that even a minor ulcer
can escalate into a severe medical emergency within just 48 hours.

●     
Dr. Tapish Sahu
(Senior Vascular &amp; Endovascular Surgeon) provided specialized expertise on
limb salvage, demonstrating how the app’s AI scanning grid overlays with
medical wound grading to determine severity with surgical precision.

Both
experts highlighted that managing a diabetic foot ulcer is 90% monitoring.
They explained that Save the foot effectively bridges the gap between
rural patients and specialist care by allowing users to grade wound severity
directly from a smartphone photo.

The
10th International Diabetes Summit 2026 is part of the Chellaram Diabetes
Institute’s (CDI) efforts to tackle the escalating problem of diabetes. By
hosting global speakers alongside Indian experts, the summit brings the latest
clinical practices to the frontline of diabetes care.

How
‘Save the foot’ Supports Better Outcomes: The
app serves as a decision-support tool for clinicians. Using AI-powered image
capture, it analyzes photos to instantly determine wound size and severity.
This provides doctors with the real-world evidence required to make faster
treatment decisions, which is vital for complete healing.

Furthermore,
Save the foot enhances management by integrating with advanced therapies
like Esmolol Hydrochloride. This treatment redefines wound closure by
targeting the three critical phases of healing—inflammation, proliferation, and
remodeling—while actively preventing ulcer recurrence.

Key
Features of ‘Save the foot’:

●     
AI Image Analysis:
Provides instant wound assessment through mobile photography.

●     
Healing Tracker:
Offers clear progress charts to monitor the healing journey over time.

●     
Wound Grading:
Uses a standardized grading system to help track progression.

●     
Secure Patient Records:
Manages a comprehensive history of treatment and wound status.

●     
Encrypted Cloud Storage:
Ensures all personal health data is stored safely and privately.

The
debut of Save the foot marks a major milestone in using technology to
improve the lives of those living with diabetes complications.

Availability:
The Save the foot app is free for everyone and available for download on
both the Google Play Store (Android) and the Apple App Store (iOS). ]]></description>

<title>Sansani&amp;apos; First Screening Receives Thunderous Response: Audience Celebrates, Director Sammir I Patel Overwhelmed</title>

<description><![CDATA[  MUMBAI : The first trial screening of filmmaker Sammir I Patel&#039;s highly anticipated
thriller-comedy Sansani (Bachelorette Party Gone Wild) was held recently in
Mumbai, and the response has been nothing short of spectacular. The film, which
premiered for a select audience of film enthusiasts and critics, left everyone
thoroughly entertained, with laughter, applause, and appreciation filling the
room.

 

Overwhelmed by the love and positive feedback, director Sammir I
Patel opened up about his journey, the challenges he faced, and the joy of
finally presenting his film to the world.

 

Q1: How do you feel now that your film is finally ready and the
first trial screening was such a great success?

Sammir I Patel: &quot;It feels absolutely amazing. All the hard
work has finally paid off. Honestly, it feels like my baby is finally out for
the world to see. The love and appreciation from the audience at the screening
has made every sleepless night worth it.&quot;

 

Q2: What were the challenges in making this film, and what kept
you going through them?

Sammir I Patel: &quot;There were many challenges. Being an
independent filmmaker, it&#039;s never easy to mount a project, especially when
you&#039;re working with newcomers and striving to maintain high creative standards.
There were difficult moments—times when things didn&#039;t go as planned—but I had
to keep pushing forward. I knew this story deserved to be told.

 

One area where we took extra time was the background score and
sound design. We didn&#039;t rush it because we understood how crucial it is to elevate
the film&#039;s mood—from comedy to thriller. Despite that, we finished the shoot by
the end of September, and by the beginning of March, we had the first copy
ready. That&#039;s remarkably fast—most films take at least a year in
post-production. But we managed it without compromising on quality. The
production value and creative output have both turned out well, and the
response at the screening proves that.&quot;


From Ferozepur to Mumbai: The Journey of Shivam Sharma as &#039;Kallu&#039;

Among the standout performers who earned special appreciation at
the screening was Shivam Sharma, who plays the menacing yet unforgettable
character of &#039;Kallu&#039;—one-third of the film&#039;s hilarious gangster trio.

 

Hailing from Ferozepur, Punjab, Shivam moved to Mumbai in 2019
with dreams of making it in the entertainment industry. With a strong theatre
background, he brought a raw, instinctive energy to his role.

 

Q1: How did you get the role of Kallu, which was so loved by the
audience?

Shivam Sharma: &quot;It was actually Vishal Dubey, who is also part
of the cast, who asked me to audition for the role of Kallu. In the first
audition, I wasn&#039;t selected. But I believed I could do justice to this
character, so I requested Vishal to speak to Sammir Sir again. He did, and I
was called back for a second audition. That time, I cracked it. I was
fascinated by Kallu because he is so unpredictable. He is nothing like me in
real life. Kallu actually cuts his own thumb and licks it—he&#039;s a hardcore
criminal. Playing someone so raw and dangerous was an absolute thrill.&quot;

 

Q2: What preparation did you do to bring Kallu to life on
screen?

Shivam Sharma: &quot;I read the script about 25 to 30 times to
get complete clarity on who Kallu was. I had several discussions with Sammir
Sir about my inputs and what Kallu&#039;s look could be. Together, we decided Kallu
would be bald, with a &#039;K&#039; carved on his head—a menacing signature. We worked
extensively on his body language and the way he speaks. It had to feel
dangerous yet oddly entertaining. And when I finally saw the character come
alive on screen at the trial screening, it was absolutely thrilling.&quot;

Productions and co-produced by Brijendra Kala, Zoheb Patel, Satya Narayan &amp;

<title>Scoobee Unveils Cutting&amp;Edge AI Dashcam and Alcohol Detection System for Enhanced School Transport Safety</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/scoobee-unveils-cutting-edge-ai-dashcam-and-alcohol-detection-system-for-enhanced-school-transport-safety</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Scoobee,
a leading Bengaluru-based innovator in road and student safety technology, has
introduced its revolutionary AI Dashcam and Alcohol Detection System. This
smart solution is designed to combat drunk driving and risky behaviors,
ensuring safer commutes for schoolchildren across Karnataka.

Launched
at the prestigious Karnataka Rajya Khaasagi Shaala Vahana Chaalakara
Samavesha 2026 in Bangalore, the system marks a major leap in school
transport safety, earning endorsements from top state leaders.

Revolutionary
Tech to Prevent Accidents in School Buses

Scoobee’s
AI Dashcam and Alcohol Detection System combines advanced AI-driven monitoring
with mandatory pre-start breath tests. If alcohol levels surpass safe limits,
the vehicle ignition locks automatically. The AI dashcam continuously tracks
driver actions, flagging hazards in real-time to protect students on every
trip.

This
innovation directly tackles alarming trends: Recent checks between 7:00 AM and
10:00 AM caught over 25 of nearly 5,100 school bus drivers operating under the
influence. With India facing over 1.7 lakh road accidents yearly and Karnataka
logging 40,000 incidents and 12,000 fatalities annually, such solutions are
vital for strengthening safety in school transportation.

A
launch backed by Karnataka&#039;s leaders

The
unveiling drew dignitaries like former Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr. C.
N. Ashwath Narayan, who officiated the event. Joined by Transport and Muzrai
Minister Ramalinga Reddy, Health and Family Welfare Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao,
Karnataka Rajya Khaasagi Saarige Vahana Chaalakara Union President Ravi Kumar,
and Karnataka Rajya Khaasagi Saarige Sanghatane Union President Nataraj Sharma,
the gathering united school operators, drivers, and stakeholders.

Dr.
C. N. Ashwath Narayan praised the technology, stating that ensuring the safety
of children on the road must remain a top priority. He praised Scoobee’s
alcohol detection and driver monitoring technologies for accident prevention,
accountability, and pledged support for grants to scale road safety
initiatives.

Why
Scoobee’s Solution is a Game-Changer for Safer Roads

One
drunk driver can silently endanger dozens of children every morning — and no
one would know until it&#039;s too late. Scoobee exists to close that gap, embedding
safety directly into the vehicle rather than relying on human oversight. It
shifts school transport from reactive to preventive, giving schools, operators,
and parents genuine peace of mind.

a brand of OpsPod, a Bengaluru based startup, Scoobee specializes in road
safety technology for school transportation. Its suite – including AI-enabled
dashcams, GPS fleet tracking, driver behavior analytics, and alcohol detection

<description><![CDATA[ Coimbatore,
Tamil Nadu : TheTourist360, a
Tamil Nadu–based travel company, is expanding its presence in the experiential
tourism segment by collaborating with celebrities, influencers, and digital
creators to host curated international group trips across popular global
destinations.

The company, which
focuses on organized international travel experiences, has been actively
building a creator-led travel ecosystem by partnering with personalities from
the entertainment, digital media, and travel vlogging communities. Through
these collaborations, TheTourist360 has been hosting group tours that combine tourism with
influencer engagement, creating a new format of travel experiences that appeals
particularly to young travellers and social media audiences.

One of the most
notable collaborations for the company has been with actress and influencer
Anitha Sampath. In partnership with TheTourist360, she hosted three
celebrity-led group trips to the Maldives over the past few years. The first group
tour was conducted in 2024 with around 30 travelers. Following the positive
response, a second trip was organized in 2025 with a similar group size.
Building on the growing demand for influencer-led travel experiences, the third
edition in 2026 expanded to accommodate 40 travelers, making it the largest
group in the series.

In total, nearly
100 travelers have participated in these Maldives experiences organized through
the collaboration, reflecting the increasing popularity of curated group travel
formats that allow travellers to explore destinations alongside public figures
and content creators.

Beyond this
collaboration, TheTourist360 has
hosted travel experiences for several personalities across the entertainment
and sports industries. Actress and influencer Samyuktha Shan has been part of
travel experiences hosted by the company, while former Indian cricketer
Anirudha Srikanth also travelled through TheTourist360 as part of a honeymoon
trip to the Maldives.

The company has
also worked with many popular influencers and digital creators such as Sathish
Deepa along with well-known vloggers including actress Dharsha Gupta, Chennai
Vlogger, Transit Bites, Village Database, Dan JR Vlogs, Budget Food and Travel,
and Travel with Akshaay.TheTourist360 has also partnered with the USA-based
Tamil media platform Oh My Thagaval and Malaysian Tamil actress Aishwarya as
part of its growing collaborations across global Tamil-speaking audiences.

TheTourist360’s
creator network extends beyond Tamil Nadu and includes influencers from across
South India. In the Telugu travel community, the company organized travel
experiences for creators such as Uma Telugu Traveller in Bali and Raju
Kannabona for a Maldives trip. Other collaborations include creators associated
with the American Dollar YouTube channel and Voice of Vasapitta Malaysia Trip,
featuring creator Madhuri.

Travel creators
from Kerala have also participated in curated tours organized by the company.
Among them are Divin Prabhakaran and Yaseen Vlogs, who have collaborated with
TheTourist360 for international travel experiences.

In Karnataka,
travel influencers including Flying Passport, Backpack with M, DhanRaj Archer
Vlogs, and digital creator Aishwarya Karkera have also been part of the
company’s curated travel programs.

While influencer collaborations have become a key element
of its growth strategy, the company’s journey is closely tied to the
entrepreneurial story of its founder, Kalaiarasan, popularly known as Kalai
Maldives.

Kalaiarasan was
born on December 14, 1996, and grew up in the small town of Vellakovil in Tamil
Nadu. He comes from a middle-class family that valued hard work and
perseverance. His father, Loganathan Palaniappan, has been involved in the
buying and selling of second-hand cars and has also worked as a driver to
support the family’s income. His mother, Sagunthala Natarajan, is a homemaker
who has dedicated herself to managing the household and supporting the family.

Growing up in this
modest environment instilled in Kalaiarasan a strong sense of financial
responsibility, resilience, and determination—values that would later shape his
entrepreneurial journey.

Before starting his
own venture, Kalairasan worked in the Maldives tourism sector as an airport
representative at Velana International Airport. His work involved coordinating
international tourist arrivals, airport transfers, and travel logistics, giving
him practical exposure to global tourism operations.

During the COVID-19
pandemic, when the tourism sector faced severe disruptions, Kalairasan
identified an emerging need for quarantine transit travel to the Maldives for
international travelers heading to countries such as the UAE and Canada. Using
his operational knowledge and industry contacts, he began arranging quarantine
stay packages that included accommodation, airport transfers, and tra ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Bangalore, March 2026 : In a city defined by ambition, innovation,
and a relentless pursuit of excellence, one name is steadily becoming
synonymous with world-class dental care — Amaya Dental. With state-of-the-art
clinics in Vasanth Nagar and Sahakar Nagar, Amaya Dental has earned its
reputation as the best
dental clinic in Bangalore by consistently delivering advanced,
patient-focused dental treatments that combine clinical precision with genuine
compassion.

A Vision
Rooted in Every Smile

Amaya Dental was
founded on a simple yet powerful belief — &quot;Smile pe sabka haq hai&quot; —
everyone deserves to smile. This philosophy is not just a tagline. It is the
driving force behind every consultation, every treatment plan, and every
patient interaction at the clinic. From a child visiting the dentist for the
very first time to an adult seeking a complete smile transformation, every
patient who walks through Amaya Dental&#039;s doors is treated with the same level
of care, attention, and respect.

The clinic
operates on a multidisciplinary model, bringing together a team of 20+
qualified dental specialists under one roof. Each specialist brings recognized
academic credentials and deep clinical experience across their respective
fields — ensuring that patients receive the most accurate diagnosis, the most
appropriate treatment plan, and the highest standard of care at every stage of
their dental journey.

Comprehensive
Care Across Every Branch of Dentistry

What
distinguishes Amaya Dental from most dental clinics in Bangalore is the sheer
breadth and depth of services available at a single location. Patients no
longer need to visit multiple clinics for different dental needs. Whether it is
dental implants, microscopic root canal treatment, Invisalign clear aligners,
TMJ disorder management, laser dentistry, pediatric dentistry, or full mouth
rehabilitation — Amaya Dental has a specialist for every concern and a solution
for every smile.

The clinic is
also widely recognized as the best cosmetic dentist in Bangalore, offering a
comprehensive suite of cosmetic dental treatments that have transformed
thousands of smiles across the city. From professional teeth whitening and
dental veneers to Digital Smile Designing and complete smile makeovers, Amaya
Dental&#039;s cosmetic dentistry team approaches every case as a unique work of art
— blending aesthetic sensibility with clinical accuracy to deliver results that
look natural, feel comfortable, and last for years.

Technology
That Puts Patients First

At the heart of
Amaya Dental&#039;s clinical excellence is a commitment to advanced dental
technology. The clinic uses Digital Smile Designing (DSD) — a sophisticated
planning tool that allows patients to visualize their post-treatment smile
before a single procedure begins. This level of transparency and
personalization is rare in dental care and reflects Amaya Dental&#039;s deep respect
for the patient&#039;s role in their own treatment journey. Every clinical decision
at Amaya Dental is supported by detailed oral examinations, diagnostic X-rays,
and where required, advanced imaging — ensuring that no treatment is ever
recommended without a thorough, evidence-based foundation.

Safety,
Hygiene, and Trust — Non-Negotiable Standards

Amaya Dental
strictly adheres to sterilization and hygiene protocols aligned with guidelines
issued by the Ministry of Health &amp; Family Welfare, Government of India.
Every operatory, instrument, and surface is maintained to the highest standards
of cleanliness and safety — giving patients and their families complete peace
of mind during every visit. In a post-pandemic world where patients are more
conscious than ever about clinical hygiene, Amaya Dental&#039;s unwavering commitment
to safety has been one of the strongest pillars of its growing trust among
Bangalore&#039;s residents.

An
Award-Winning Legacy of Excellence

Amaya Dental&#039;s
impact on dental healthcare in Bangalore has not gone unnoticed. The clinic has
been honoured with the prestigious Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Award — a recognition
that places it alongside some of India&#039;s most respected names in healthcare.
This achievement is a proud reflection of the clinic&#039;s tireless dedication to
raising the bar for dental care in India and proving that exceptional dentistry
is not a privilege reserved for a few — it is a right that belongs to everyone.

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Amaya Dental was founded on a simple yet powerful belief — "Smile pe sabka haq hai" — everyone deserves to smile. This philosophy is not just a tagline. It is the driving force behind every consultation, every treatment plan, and every patient interaction at the clinic. From a child visiting the dentist for the very first time to an adult seeking a complete smile transformation, every patient who walks through Amaya Dental's doors is treated with the same level of care, attention, and respect.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The clinic operates on a multidisciplinary model, bringing together a team of 20+ qualified dental specialists under one roof.

Every clinical decision at Amaya Dental is supported by detailed oral examinations, diagnostic X-rays, and where required, advanced imaging — ensuring that no treatment is ever recommended without a thorough, evidence-based foundation.</span></p>

<title>Ledure Lightings Limited Launches New TVC Campaign with Brand Ambassador Ranbir Kapoor</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/ledure-lightings-limited-launches-new-tvc-campaign-with-brand-ambassador-ranbir-kapoor</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ National, March 14, 2025 : Ledure Lightings
Limited, one of India&#039;s fastest-growing lighting brands, launched its new
Television Commercial (TVC) with brand ambassador Ranbir Kapoor, to shape a new
cultural conversation around the transformative power of light. This marks a
defining moment for the brand as it moves beyond product communication.

The campaign reflects upon a powerful consumer truth where people are
found to invest heavily in interiors, decor, furniture etc., overlooking the
single element that ties it all together: lighting. Embedded around the key
message- “Lights Change, Toh Vibe Change”, the TVC highlights the
importance of right choice of lights in transforming spaces.

The TVC features Ranbir as &#039;The Vibologist&#039; — a quirky,
authoritative character who has the power to hear and feel inanimate objects.
Utilising his power he audits living spaces and diagnoses lighting problems
with wit and flair. Through dark corners, harsh shadows, and mood-killing
illumination, the film dramatises how poor lighting causes genuine emotional
distress- and how switching to Ledure instantly solves the problem.

Sharing his vision for Ledure’s next growth
chapter, Ankit Gupta, Director, Ledure Lightings Limited emphasized the
strategic-shift from product-led storytelling to connecting emotionally with
the consumers through their new TVC campaign. He highlighted “Lighting
plays a crucial role in giving a space the right character and identity it
truly owns, however, this remains the most ignored part while planning a home
or any commercial space. Before any innovation in the industry, incandescent
lamps and Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) were commonly used to illuminate
spaces leaving very limited scope to explore and experiment.”

Further stressing on the campaign variables, Ankit
mentioned the TVC tagline &#039;Lights Change, Toh Vibe Change&#039;, triggering
the unavoidable question about the role of perfect lighting helping transform
spaces and Ranbir&#039;s contagious energy &amp; ability to combine humour with
relatability turning concepts into reality. With a firm belief to fundamentally
shift how Indian consumers approach lighting decisions, Ankit highlights
Ledure’s role in redefining the industry and shaping lifestyles.

The campaign showcases multiple real-life use cases — from living rooms
and bedrooms to bathrooms, and lounge spaces — exhibiting how Ledure&#039;s wide
range of accent lights, profile lights, and mood-setting solutions delivers
transformative results across every space. Ledure’s products pivot on
cutting-edge LED technology, energy efficiency, and ease of installation
offering consumers an aesthetic upgrade and a conscious investment in quality
and sustainability.

Cementing its position as the definitive authority in modern,
mood-driven lighting solutions, Ledure Lightings Limited will further work
towards building awareness campaigns, planning expansion and engaging in
industry networking. Consumers are invited to experience the transformation
firsthand. As Ledure says — LEDURE it. Fix your vibe, instantly.

businesses to integrate services such as Amazon SES, Mailgun, SendGrid, Gmail,

Earn with AI Data: Contributor Marketplace

BulkDataProvider has also introduced “Earn with AI Data,” a
contributor marketplace designed to address the rapidly growing demand for AI
training datasets.

Voice
recordings and speech samples

transcription datasets

transfers, or cryptocurrency, making the platform accessible to contributors
worldwide.

The initiative provides a flexible income opportunity for students,
freelancers, homemakers, and working professionals, allowing them to contribute
datasets with minimal time commitment.

<description><![CDATA[ Erode, Tamil Nadu, 14th March 2026:
Fortune City will unveil its new brand identity on March
15, 2026, marking a significant milestone in its transformation from being a
textile marketplace into an integrated retail, lifestyle and entertainment
destination. 

 

The unveiling of the new logo will take place in the
presence of stakeholders, business owners, retail partners and franchise
associates connected with the development.

 

Strategically located on the Coimbatore – Salem
National Highway, Fortune City represents the next phase in the
evolution of the iconic Texvalley campus, which has long been recognised as one
of South India’s integrated textile marketplaces. The rebranding reflects the
expansion of the destination beyond wholesale textile trade into a broader
ecosystem that combines retail, food, entertainment and commercial spaces.

 

As part of this expansion, Fortune City will
inaugurate the Avenue Mall, a large-format retail and lifestyle zone spread
across 4,00,000 sq. ft. The mall will host a mix of regional, national and
international brands across various retail categories along with food and
beverage outlets. 

Lifestyle brands such as Parx and Jockey will
inaugurate their outlets at Avenue Mall alongside Family Entertainment Zone,
Wow China, Wow Momo and Falooda Nation, offering visitors a diverse mix
of dining options alongside shopping and leisure experiences. Dubai-based
hypermarket chain YARA is expected to open in the first fortnight of April
2026.

 

Speaking about the development, DP Kumar, Director
of Texvalley, said the unveiling of the new brand identity represents an
important step in positioning the destination as a regional lifestyle hub.“With
Fortune City and the launch of Avenue Mall, we are creating a vibrant
environment that integrates shopping, dining, entertainment and community
experiences under one destination,” he said.
 

S. Shriram, Founder &amp; CEO of Miles2Go
Consulting Services, said the development reflects
the changing retail landscape in emerging cities. “Fortune City is
designed to meet the aspirations of consumers in fast-growing Tier-2 markets
while offering brands a dynamic platform to expand their presence,” he
added.
 

Franchise Partners who have signed up at Avenue Mall
said the integrated development offers brands an incredible opportunity to
connect with a large and evolving consumer base from the Kongu region, one of
the most prosperous parts of Tamil Nadu.

 

Fortune City’s larger master plan conceptualised by
Miles2Go Consulting Services includes 9 different elements including retail
spaces, F&amp;B districts, multiplex cinemas, sports facilities, office spaces,
event venues, Co-Living areas, a leisure hotel and one of India’s largest EV
hubs with 100 charging points.

<title>India’s Decade&amp;Long Diplomatic Strategy Comes of Age in a Time of Global Crisis</title>

<description><![CDATA[ By Pavan
Kaushik

The world
today stands at the edge of another geopolitical storm. West Asia is once again
witnessing rising tensions as developments involving the United States, Iran
and Israel reshape the region’s fragile security balance. Missiles cross tense
skies, naval deployments increase across strategic waters, and global energy
markets react to every headline with visible nervousness.

 

At the
centre of this unfolding crisis lies the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s
most critical maritime corridors through which nearly a fifth of global oil
trade passes. Any instability in this narrow waterway sends shockwaves through
global supply chains and energy markets, affecting economies from Washington to
Mumbai.

 

For a
country like India, which imports a large share of its energy needs, such
moments test both diplomatic maturity and economic preparedness. Yet the
current situation also highlights the strength of a diplomatic framework that
New Delhi has patiently built over the past decade.

 

India’s
diplomatic engagement has also delivered tangible outcomes on the ground. Amid
escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran allowed Indian-flagged
vessels to move through the strategic waterway after diplomatic discussions
between New Delhi and Tehran. The decision helped safeguard India’s maritime
trade and oil supply routes even as security concerns disrupted shipping
traffic in the region.

 

In a
conflict zone where several global powers struggle to maintain influence, this
development reflects the credibility India has built across geopolitical
divides.

 

Unlike
many nations locked into rigid alliances, India has consistently pursued a
pragmatic diplomatic approach — maintaining constructive relations with
competing global powers. It engages strategically with the United States and
Europe, strengthens partnerships with Israel, and continues its longstanding
economic and civilisational engagement with Iran and the Gulf nations.

 

This
balanced posture reflects a simple but powerful diplomatic philosophy: friends
to all, enemies to none.

 

Over the
past decade, this approach has strengthened India’s global standing. It has
positioned India as a nation capable of maintaining dialogue across rival block
while safeguarding its national interests.

 

Equally
important is India’s growing economic resilience. India currently imports
around 88–89% of the crude oil it consumes, reflecting both the scale of its
energy demand and the strategic importance of securing reliable supply chains.

 

To manage
this vulnerability, India has steadily diversified crude import sources,
expanded refinery capacity and built strategic petroleum reserves designed to
cushion the economy against sudden geopolitical disruptions.

 

Combined
with steady economic growth and infrastructure expansion, these measures
provide policymakers the stability needed to navigate uncertain geopolitical
waters.

 

In a world
increasingly defined by confrontation and shifting alliances, stability itself
has become a strategic asset.

 

India’s
steady diplomacy and economic preparedness suggest that it may increasingly
emerge as one of the world’s reliable anchors during turbulent times.

 

Moments of
global crisis often reveal the value of long-term strategy. After years of
patient engagement across regions and rivalries, India’s diplomatic approach is
no longer simply a principle of foreign policy.

 

It is now
proving its value in real time.

Founder &amp; Chief Patron, MAEER’s MIT, Pune; President, MIT World Peace
University; and Creator of the World Peace Dome.

Video messages were shared
by Shri Devendra Fadnavis, Hon’ble Chief Minister of
Maharashtra; Sunetra Ajit Pawar, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra; Dattatray
Vithoba Bharne, Minister of Agriculture of Maharashtra; Lt. Gen.
Dhiraj Seth, PVSM, AVSM, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern
Command, Pune; and Chandrakant Patil, Minister of
Higher and Technical Education of Maharashtra. Meanwhile, Shivraj Singh
Chouhan, Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, attended the
event virtually. 

Shivraj Singh
Chouhan said, “Today’s youth face intense competition,
academic pressure, and the distractions of the digital world, often drifting
away from the deeper meaning of life. The Life Transformation Centre offers a
powerful answer by reconnecting young people with nature, agriculture,
discipline, and spirituality. As the son of a farmer, I deeply resonate with
the vision of ‘Connecting the Soul to the Soil.’ When young people experience
the value of soil, food, and hard work, they develop respect for farmers,
nature, and society. This initiative reflects the spirit of experiential
learning envisioned in India’s National Education Policy and will help nurture
responsible, confident, and nation-building youth for a stronger India.”

Shri Devendra
Fadnavis said, “I extend my heartfelt congratulations
on the inauguration of the Life Transformation Centre at Boribel, Pune. The
land of Maharashtra has long been a source of inspiration for saints, social
reformers, and nation builders. From the spiritual legacy of Sant Dnyaneshwar
and Sant Tukaram Maharaj to the transformative vision of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule
and Krantijyoti Savitribai Phule, this land has upheld the tradition of linking
knowledge with service, ethics, and the welfare of society. The Life
Transformation Centre, built on the pillars of Agriculture and Nature, Physical
Fitness and Sports, Team Building and Leadership, Patriotism and Nation
Building, and Spirituality and Peace, will help students develop confidence,
discipline, leadership, and compassion.”

 

Swami
Ramdev said,“Today, I feel immense joy to be part of the
inauguration of the Life Transformation Centre. Institutions like MIT World
Peace University are doing a remarkable job by nurturing not just academic
excellence but also character, values, and national responsibility among young
people. Educating lakhs of students and guiding them from personal development
to nation-building is a great service to society. I come from a humble farming
background and understand how powerful education and self-discipline can be in
transforming lives. Every young person carries immense potential, but it must
be guided by a larger purpose beyond personal success. We should not limit our
dreams to jobs or salaries; rather, we should aspire to contribute to society
and the nation. Through initiatives like the Life Transformation Centre,
students will learn the importance of nature, self-discipline, health, and
leadership. I congratulate Dr. Vishwanath Karad, Dr. Rahul Karad, and the
entire MIT family for creating such a transformative platform for youth.”

 

Speaking about the vision
behind the initiative, Dr. Rahul Karad said, “This initiative
has been envisioned as a unique platform where students can reconnect with
nature, rural life, and the deeper values of Indian civilization through experiential
learning. The centre is built on five pillars—agriculture and nature,
spirituality and peace, sports and physical fitness, team building and
leadership, and patriotism and nation building. Through this initiative, we aim
to shape responsible, self-aware, and socially conscious youth. I believe this
centre will serve as a transformative laboratory for education, inspiring
students to contribute meaningfully to society and to the vision of a
harmonious and sustainable world.”

<title>Hipmunk Returns to Simplify the Flight Booking Experience</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India], March 13 : Travelers
are always looking for faster, smarter, and easier ways to book flights, which
is why the online travel industry keeps changing. Travelers can once again use Hipmunk
to help them find flights quickly and easily. Hipmunk is known for its unique
search features and easy-to-use interface. Its goal is to help users find the
best flights without the hassle that comes with traditional booking sites.

Hipmunk&#039;s reopening means that there will be more work to make it easier for
people to search for, compare, and book airline tickets. The platform wants to
change the way people book flights by using smart search technology and a design
that is easy to use.

Hipmunk Official Website - https://www.hipmunk.co.in/

The Comeback of Hipmunk in Online Travel

When Hipmunk first came out, it quickly became a favorite among travelers
who wanted an easier way to look at different flight options. Hipmunk was
different from other booking sites that only showed prices. It came up with a
smarter way to show results.

Hipmunk is back, and the platform is expected to bring back its unique way
of doing things while also adding new features. As the travel industry gets
more competitive, users are paying more attention to platforms that are easy to
use and clear.

The fact that Hipmunk is back shows that people still want tools that help
them book smarter.

Smarter Flight Search Technology

Hipmunk&#039;s smart flight search system was one of the best things about it
that made it popular. The platform didn&#039;t show users hundreds of flight
listings; instead, it focused on showing the most useful ones first.

The search system takes into account a number of things, such as:


 Ticket price
 Total travel time
 Number of layovers
 Departure and arrival schedules
 Airline quality


Hipmunk helps travelers find the best flights by looking at these factors
all at once to find the best balance between cost and ease of use.

This method lets people quickly find the right flights without having to
spend hours comparing different travel websites.

A Clean and User-Friendly Interface

Travelers today want booking sites to be easy to use and look good. Hipmunk
has always had a clean layout and easy-to-use navigation.

The redesigned platform focuses on providing:


 Faster search results
 A clutter-free interface
 Simple filtering options
 Easy flight comparisons
 Mobile-friendly browsing


These changes make it easier and more fun to book a flight. Travelers can
quickly find the best flight options by sorting the results based on what they
want.

A simple interface also makes it less frustrating for many users to deal
with complicated booking systems.

Compare Flights from Multiple Airlines

One of the hardest things for travelers to do when booking flights is to
compare prices on different airlines and travel websites. The price of tickets
can be very different depending on where you buy them.

Hipmunk solves this problem by letting people compare flights. It gets
flight information from different airlines and travel agencies and shows the
results all in one place.

This allows travelers to:


 Compare airline ticket prices easily
 Discover cheaper travel options
 Explore alternative routes
 Save money on airfare


Hipmunk helps travelers make smart choices before booking their flights by
giving them a full comparison system.

Saving Time and Money for Travelers

Planning a trip can take a long time, especially when you&#039;re looking for cheap
flights. A lot of people spend hours going from one website
to another to compare ticket prices.

Hipmunk makes this easier by putting all the important flight information in
one place. Users can quickly narrow down their choices and pick the best flight
thanks to its advanced filters and organized search results.

This saves time and helps travelers get better deals. Having a reliable
flight search tool can make a big difference for anyone who is planning a
vacation, a business trip, or a last-minute trip.

Standing Out in a Competitive Market

There are a lot of well-known websites where you can book flights online.
Hipmunk, on the other hand, stands out because it focuses on being easy to use
and having smart search features.

The platform doesn&#039;t just show you long lists of flights; it also shows you
the ones that will give you the best overall travel experience. This new method
helps travelers find flights that are more convenient faster.

Platforms like Hipmunk could get a new group of users as travelers put more
and more value on efficiency and openness.

The Future of Flight Booking with Hipmunk

The return of Hipmunk is a big step forward for the online travel industry.
The platform&#039;s goal is to make booking flights easier for travelers all over
the world by focusing on smart search tools, price comparisons, and a simple
interface.

<title>India&amp;apos;s Demat Accounts Cross 21.6 Crore in December 2025, and BlinkX Is Among the Platforms Driving Zero Brokerage Adoption in Tier&amp;2 Cities</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Over the past few years, India’s financial
markets have seen a big change. Lately, the number of Demat accounts has
crossed 21.6 crore as of December 2025. This growth is not just a number. It
reflects a strong idea and a solid plan that is changing how we invest. As more
people use online platforms, investing has become smooth, easy to use, and more
accessible than ever before. This article explains what this milestone means,
why it is important today, and how new platforms are driving zero brokerage adoption,
especially in Tier-2 cities, with platforms such as BlinkX contributing
to this growing shift in retail participation.

A
Major Shift in Retail Participation

In simple terms, a Demat account allows
investors to hold shares and securities in electronic form. It is the basic
step required to invest in the stock market. The growth to 21.6 crore accounts
shows a clear improvement in financial inclusion across the country.

Many times in the past, investing was seen as
complex and limited to metro cities. However, today that is changing as people
increasingly rely on online platforms to open Demat account, and geographical barriers are being reduced.
In many cases, individuals from smaller towns are actively participating in
equity markets. Across the industry, there is a strong push towards simplified
investing. This has made a real difference.

These factors matter:

●       
Easy online account opening

●       
Smooth digital verification

●       
Flexible investment options

●       
Strong and reliable trading systems

●       
Improved awareness through financial education

Overall, this rise in Demat accounts signals a
major shift in how Indians view wealth creation.

The
Rise of Tier-2 and Tier-3 Investors

Worth noting is the growing contribution of
Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. In many views, this is one of the most important
developments in India’s investment landscape.

New tools and the latest tech enable investors
to access markets with just a smartphone. What was once available only in large
financial centres is now used by many across smaller cities.

Basically, investing is no longer restricted
by location.

In practice, digital trading platforms have
improved access and simplified the onboarding process. For first-timers to
seasoned users, these platforms offer a complete solution that covers
everything from equity trading to mutual funds and derivatives.

Zero
Brokerage: Changing the Way Things Are Carried Out

One of the key drivers behind this growth is
the adoption of zero brokerage trading account
models. This is a strong and reliable change that has a real impact. Several
modern trading platforms, like BlinkX, are supporting this shift by offering
simplified pricing models that make participation easier for investors across
cities.

Traditionally, brokerage charges reduced
overall returns. But now, zero brokerage platforms help investors keep more of
their profits. This feels natural to use and matches the plan of cost-conscious
retail investors.

Here’s why zero brokerage is important:

●       
It makes trading affordable

●       
It encourages frequent participation

●       
It helps first-time investors start with
confidence

●       
It offers many benefits for active traders

By contrast, earlier models were less flexible
and often confusing. Today, pricing is more transparent. The structure is
simplified. In short, zero brokerage makes investing easier to understand.

As things keep changing in a fast-changing
space, cost efficiency will remain very important.

Technology
as the Backbone of Growth

The rapid growth in Demat accounts is also
based on data and technology improvements. New platforms now offer detailed and
complete dashboards. Investors can look into performance, analyse trends, and
track portfolios in real time.

Smooth compatibility across devices is another
strong feature. Whether on mobile or desktop, platforms are easy to use and
work well. This makes it easier to use investing tools daily.

Many times, user experience defines long-term
adoption. If a platform is reliable and easy to navigate, users stay longer. In
many cases, investors prefer systems that can grow with demand and are
expandable and easily adjustable.

Overall, technology is not just supporting the
change; it is driving it.

What
This Means for Investors Today

Today, with 21.6 crore Demat accounts, the
Indian market is deeper and more diverse. Liquidity has improved. Retail
participation has strengthened market stability. This is important for
long-term economic growth.

For all experience levels, the environment is
more welcoming. From first-timers to seasoned users, there are tools that allow
investors to get the most from market opportunities.

The main benefits are:

●       
Easy access to multiple asset classes

●       
Flexible trading options ]]></description>

<title>‘ISB Discover’ Highlights Research on Women, Leadership, and Maternal Health</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/isb-discover-highlights-research-on-women-leadership-and-maternal-health</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/isb-discover-highlights-research-on-women-leadership-and-maternal-health</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Research
from the Indian School of Business highlights how gender diversity, women’s
leadership, and infrastructure investments influence organisational performance
and health outcomes.

13th
March 2026 : The Indian School of Business (ISB) is
spotlighting research on women, leadership, workplace inclusion, and maternal
health through its recently launched ISB Discover
platform—a practitioner-focused digital hub that makes globally benchmarked
research more accessible and actionable for businesses, policymakers, and
society.

ISB
Discover bridges the gap between academic research and real-world
decision-making by translating complex, peer-reviewed studies into clear and
practical insights. The platform features a variety of formats, including
articles, explainers, videos, podcasts, and infographics, enabling users to
quickly access evidence-based insights. 

As
global conversations around women’s leadership, inclusion and health gain
momentum, research on ISB Discover highlights how gender dynamics and access to
essential services shape organisations, leadership outcomes, and public policy.

Key
Insights from ISB Discover:

●       
Gender-diverse teams drive better outcomes:
Diverse teams are more effective in improving operational performance and
adapting to change.

●       
Leadership decisions shaped by context:
Female marketing leaders tend to adopt more cautious strategies in high-risk
environments.

●       
Gender influences online influence:
Research shows differences in how influence develops and sustains over time on
digital platforms.

●       
Workplace bias still impacts opportunities:
Structural and cultural biases continue to shape hiring, evaluation, and career
progression for women.

●       
Women in family businesses remain
under-recognised: Studies highlight the need for greater
recognition of women’s leadership roles.

●       
Better infrastructure improves maternal health:
Improved road connectivity increases access to healthcare, institutional
deliveries, antenatal care visits, and vaccination coverage—especially
benefiting girls and rural communities.

●       
Climate challenges affect women
disproportionately: Women, particularly in developing economies,
face greater vulnerability to climate change impacts.

Professor
Sarang Deo, Deputy Dean – Faculty and Research, ISB,
said: “Management education is not just about learning theories; it is about
understanding real-world challenges and developing the ability to solve them.
Through our cutting-edge, rigorous research on women’s leadership, workplace
inclusion, and health outcomes, we are aiming to help shape future leaders who
can think critically and contribute meaningfully to organisations and society.”


ISB
Discover reflects ISB’s broader commitment to generating knowledge that
addresses India’s socio-economic challenges. Over the years, ISB has built a
dynamic research ecosystem spanning marketing, entrepreneurship, technology,
finance and accounting, operations, economics and public policy, leadership and
organisations, and strategy.

Designed
for business leaders, policymakers, journalists, students, researchers, and
entrepreneurs, ISB Discover enables users to quickly identify insights that
inform strategy, shape policy, and contribute to public discourse. 

Through
ISB Discover, the School seeks to ensure that research does not remain confined
to academic journals, but instead informs boardrooms, policy discussions, and

<description><![CDATA[ Kochi, March
13, 2026 :  Dr.
Reenaa Mithun Chittilappilly has been appointed as Director of V-Guard
Industries Ltd., one of India’s leading electrical and electronics brands. The
Board of Directors had recommended her appointment as a Non-Independent
Non-Executive Director, which was subsequently approved by the majority
shareholders through a resolution passed on March 8, 2026. The appointment
reflects the company’s continued focus on strengthening its corporate social
responsibility (CSR) vision and deepening its engagement with communities. Her
appointment is for a tenure of four years from January 28, 2026, to January 27,
2030.

 

Dr. Reenaa
Mithun Chittilappilly currently serves as Director of the V-Guard Foundation,
where she has led several initiatives focused on community development and
social impact. Under her leadership, the Foundation has implemented projects
such as Edam, a counselling centre supporting women’s mental health, and Nari
Shakthi, a programme aimed at empowering widows and single mothers through
livelihood and support initiatives.

 

In her expanded
role on the Board, Dr. Reenaa Mithun Chittilappilly will contribute to
advancing V-Guard’s CSR strategy and strengthening the company’s commitment to
sustainable and socially responsible growth. The company believes her
experience in driving community-focused initiatives will further deepen its
engagement with society while reinforcing its long-term sustainability efforts.

 

About
V-Guard



The origin
of V-Guard dates back to 1977, when Mr. Kochouseph Chittilappilly, with a
burning passion to make a difference, set out to build a robust brand in the
Indian electrical and electronic goods market. Within a short span of time,
V-Guard grew rapidly to become a name synonymous with voltage stabilizers
across South India. The company soon expanded its range of products to include
Digital UPS, Inverter and Inverter Batteries, Electric Water Heaters, Solar
Water Heaters, Domestic Pumps, Agricultural Pumps, Industrial Motors, Domestic
Switch Gears, Distribution Boards, Wiring Cables, Industrial Cables, Induction
Cooktops, Mixer Grinders, Fans, Gas Stoves, Rice Cookers, Modular Switches
&amp; Air Coolers.

 

As a
nationally responsible business concern with dedication to the country&#039;s
spirit, V-Guard has been playing our part towards the financial development of
India in our own humble ways. The most important activity in this line has been
the introduction of the Build India &amp; Relief programme. This is an
integrated approach that aims to work with communities to facilitate access to basic
services - a decisive step that would ensure their well-being and support them
in the fulfilment of their economic, social, civil and political rights. ]]></description>

<title>World Sleep Day 2026: Why Quality Sleep Is Essential for Your Health</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/world-sleep-day-2026-why-quality-sleep-is-essential-for-your-health</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/world-sleep-day-2026-why-quality-sleep-is-essential-for-your-health</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Do you often wake up feeling tired even after what seems like a full
night’s sleep? Many people assume sleep is simply rest, but in reality, it is
one of the most important biological processes for maintaining overall health.
Observed every year on the Friday before the March equinox, World Sleep Day
will be celebrated on March 13, 2026. The initiative is organised by the World
Sleep Society to spread awareness about healthy sleep habits and sleep
disorders.

Recent studies show that sleep problems are becoming increasingly
common. A 2025 survey found that 59% of Indians get less than six hours of
uninterrupted sleep, which is far below the recommended amount. The World Sleep
Day 2026 theme this year is “Make Sleep Health a Priority”, emphasises the
importance of recognising sleep as a pillar of overall health, just like
nutrition and exercise.

Dr. Anuradha T Consultant, Pulmonology at STAR Hospitals, Hyderabad, throws light on how quality sleep plays a vital
role in maintaining physical health, emotional well-being, and daily
productivity.

Why Sleep Is Important for the Body

Sleep is not just a period of inactivity. During sleep, the body
performs several essential functions that support health and recovery.

Some of the key benefits of good sleep include:

Improves memory and learning: During sleep, the brain processes and
stores information gathered during the day, helping improve concentration and
memory.

·      
Strengthens
the Immune System: Quality
sleep helps the body fight infections by supporting immune cell activity.

·      
Maintains
Heart Health: Sleep helps
regulate blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart.

·      
Supports
Metabolism and Weight Control: Poor
sleep can affect hunger hormones and increase the risk of weight gain.

·      
Improves
Mood and Mental Well-Being: Adequate
sleep reduces stress, anxiety, and emotional instability.

Even small improvements in sleep habits can significantly improve
overall health and quality of life.

How Much Sleep Do Adults Need?

According to sleep specialists, most adults require between 7 and 9
hours of sleep each night to function optimally.

Teenagers and young adults often require slightly more sleep, while
older adults may experience lighter sleep but still need adequate rest.
Consistency is equally important. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule helps
regulate the body’s internal clock, also known as the circadian rhythm.

Common Sleep Disorders

Sleep disorders can affect people of all ages and often remain undiagnosed.

Some of the most common sleep disorders include:

·      
Insomnia: Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.

·      
Obstructive
Sleep Apnea (OSA): Repeated
pauses in breathing during sleep due to airway obstruction.

·      
Restless
Leg Syndrome: An uncomfortable
urge to move the legs, usually during rest.

·      
Narcolepsy: A neurological disorder that causes excessive
daytime sleepiness.

In India, sleep disorders are increasingly common. Studies show that
37.4% of the population may experience obstructive sleep apnea, while around
25–33% of adults suffer from insomnia. Many people ignore symptoms like loud
snoring, frequent awakenings, or daytime fatigue, assuming they are normal.
However, these may be signs of a serious sleep disorder.

When Lifestyle Changes Are Not Enough

Simple lifestyle changes can often improve sleep quality.

These include:

·      
Reducing
screen time before bedtime

·      
Limiting
caffeine in the evening

·      
Maintaining
a consistent sleep schedule

·      
Managing
stress and relaxation techniques

However, if symptoms such as loud snoring, breathing pauses, choking
during sleep, or excessive daytime sleepiness persist, medical evaluation is
important.

Sleep Study Test (Polysomnography)

A sleep study, also known as polysomnography, is an overnight
diagnostic test that records several body functions during sleep.

The Test Monitors:

·      
Brain
activity

·      
Breathing
patterns

·      
Oxygen
levels

·      
Heart rate

·      
Body
movements

 

This helps doctors diagnose conditions such as sleep apnea and other
complex sleep disorders accurately.

Conclusion

Sleep is not truly a luxury biologically, but in the modern fast-paced
world, the ability to get sufficient, uninterrupted sleep has become rare and
highly valued, making it seem like a luxury. 
On World Sleep Day, healthcare professionals encourage people to
recognise the importance of healthy sleep habits and seek timely medical help
when needed.

At STAR Hospitals, specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and
advanced diagnostic services for sleep disorders. If you or your loved ones
experience persistent sleep problems, book an appointment with a sleep
specialist today and take the first step toward better sleep and better health.

<title>Your Health Begins Tonight: The Power of Sleeping Well</title>

<description><![CDATA[ World Sleep Day 2026
is built around a simple but powerful message - 
Sleep Well, Live Better. Yet in a fast-paced city like Hyderabad,
sleep is often the first thing people sacrifice.

From late-night work
calls with global teams to endless screen scrolling, irregular eating patterns,
and long commutes, the city’s lifestyle is quietly creating a sleep debt
epidemic. On World Sleep Day, it is worth asking: Are we truly resting,
or just lying down?

Hyderabad’s Silent
Sleep Crisis

Studies say 35 - 40% of
adults globally experience sleep problems. In urban Indian cities like
Hyderabad, the number may be even higher due to modern lifestyle pressures.

Several local lifestyle
patterns are affecting sleep quality:

• Late-night IT work
culture across the city’s tech corridors
• Heavy traffic commutes leading to mental fatigue
• High caffeine consumption through coffee and energy drinks
• Screen exposure before bed from smartphones and OTT platforms
• Stress and anxiety related to work-life balance

What Happens When You
Don’t Sleep Well?

Sleep is not just rest
- it is the body’s repair system.

When sleep quality
declines, the body begins to show subtle warning signs:

●       
Persistent morning fatigue

●       
Difficulty concentrating at work

●       
Mood swings and irritability

●       
Frequent headaches

●       
Increased cravings for sugary foods

Over time, poor sleep
increases the risk of major health conditions such as:

●       
Hypertension

●       
Type 2 Diabetes

●       
Obesity

●       
Depression

●       
Obstructive Sleep Apnea

In fact, untreated
sleep apnoea is becoming increasingly common among urban populations,
especially among individuals with sedentary jobs and weight gain.

Quick Sleep Check: Ask
Yourself These 5 Questions

Take a moment and
reflect:


 Do you take more than 30 minutes to fall asleep?
 Do you wake up multiple times at night?
 Do you feel tired even after 7 hours of sleep?
 Has someone told you that you snore loudly?
 Do you feel sleepy during the day,
     especially at work or while driving?


If your answer is “Yes”
to two or more, your sleep health may need attention.

Small Changes That Can
Improve Your Sleep

Good sleep is not about
sleeping longer - it is about sleeping better.

Here are simple habits
Hyderabad residents can adopt:

1. Follow a consistent
sleep schedule
Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.

2. Create a “digital
sunset”
Avoid screens for at least 45–60 minutes before bedtime.

3. Watch your caffeine
timing
Avoid coffee or tea after 6 PM.

4. Keep your bedroom
sleep-friendly
A cool, dark, and quiet environment promotes deeper sleep.

5. Move more during the
day
Even 30 minutes of walking improves sleep quality.

Sleep: The Most
Underrated Health Pill

People invest in diet
plans, gym memberships, and supplements — but overlook the most powerful health
tool: sleep.

Quality sleep
strengthens immunity, improves memory, regulates metabolism, and protects heart
health.

<description><![CDATA[ National,
13 March 2026 : De Beers Group, the world’s leading diamond
company, today announced its association with Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma
to celebrate natural diamonds in India, bringing together two forces defined by
character, authenticity and enduring excellence.

Abhishek
Sharma has emerged as one of the most exciting voices in Indian cricket, known
for his fearless style of play and strong personal identity. His journey
reflects the “inner fire” and authenticity that De Beers celebrates in every
natural diamond. Through challenges and triumphs alike, Abhishek has
demonstrated a universal truth: while form may fluctuate, true class endures.

Today,
he stands as an inspiration for millions of young dreamers, proving that
resilience and belief can shape extraordinary success. Known for standing out
both on and off the field, Abhishek reflects qualities that lie at the heart of
natural diamonds: authenticity, strength and inner brilliance.

Beyond
the field, Abhishek’s personal style is equally distinctive. Often seen wearing
natural diamonds, they form an integral part of his identity. For the
cricketer, diamonds are not reserved only for celebrations but represent
personal expression and the journey behind every achievement.

Speaking
on the association, Abhishek Sharma said, “I&#039;m looking forward to
partnering with De Beers as they share my passion for the timeless elegance of
natural diamonds. I&#039;ve always been drawn to diamonds for their understated
sophistication and the unique story each one tells. This collaboration feels like
a natural fit, and I’m excited to create something special together while
celebrating the meaning and legacy of natural diamonds.”

Commenting
on the announcement, Ms. Toranj Mehta, Vice President, Marketing, De Beers
India, said, “Abhishek embodies the character of natural
diamonds through his confidence, authenticity, and clarity of self. He does not
just wear diamonds. He reflects what they stand for: rarity, resilience, and
inner fire. At De Beers Group, we focus on the emotional meaning diamonds hold,
and Abhishek’s choice to wear them during important moments of his career makes
this a powerful and contemporary narrative. We are thrilled to celebrate this
moment for Indian cricket with him.”

India
continues to be a market where diamonds are deeply connected with personal
success and moments of pride. By collaborating with a personality who naturally
reflects the spirit of the category, De Beers Group strengthens its cultural
presence, reinforcing natural diamonds as the ultimate expression of individuality
and achievement.

<title>How EMI Financing Is Changing the Way Indians Buy Electronics?</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/how-emi-financing-is-changing-the-way-indians-buy-electronics</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/how-emi-financing-is-changing-the-way-indians-buy-electronics</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Buying
electronics in India once meant saving for months before making a purchase.
Whether it was a smartphone, television, laptop, or refrigerator, the upfront
cost often delayed buying decisions. Over the past few years, this behaviour
has changed rapidly. Easy EMI financing has become one of the biggest drivers
of electronics purchases in the country.

Today,
consumers are more comfortable spreading the cost of products over several
months rather than paying the full amount at once. With the rise of digital
lending platforms, instant approvals, and partnerships between retailers and
financial institutions, buying products on EMI has made electronics more
accessible to a wider population. 

The Shift Towards EMI-Based Shopping

India
is witnessing a shift in consumption habits, with consumers increasingly opting
for EMI repayment options instead of postponing purchases. This allows them to
buy high-value electronics immediately while managing their monthly budgets.
The rise of NBFCs and fintech platforms has made EMI financing more accessible
through quick digital applications, fast approvals, and rapid fund
disbursement.

For
many buyers, the appeal lies in predictable monthly payments, allowing them to
spread the cost of products such as laptops or smartphones over several months
without depleting their savings.

Growing Demand Among Young Consumers

Younger
consumers, particularly millennials and Gen Z, are increasingly comfortable
using EMI-based purchases. For this generation, access to products matters more
than waiting to accumulate savings. This trend is particularly visible in the
electronics segment. Smartphones, gaming devices, laptops, and home
entertainment systems are frequently purchased using EMI options. The model
aligns well with the lifestyle of digital natives who prefer flexible payment
options.

Several
reports also highlight that the EMI model is no longer limited to high-income
households. Middle-income consumers in tier 2 and tier 3 cities are also
embracing instalment-based purchases of appliances, gadgets, and other consumer
durables.

Top NBFCs Providing Products on EMI in India

Several
non-banking financial companies play a key role in enabling EMI-based purchases
for consumer electronics and lifestyle products.

●       
Poonawalla Fincorp, a leading NBFC offering products
on EMI in India, provides instant loans up to ₹5 lakh for electronics,
appliances, and more. The digital application process ensures quick approvals
and fast fund disbursement, with flexible repayment options to help manage
costs.

●       
Tata Capital offers financing options that
help buyers convert electronics purchases into manageable monthly instalments.

●       
HDB Financial Services offers consumer loans
to purchase electronics and household appliances through structured EMI
repayment plans.

Conclusion

EMI
financing is changing how Indians buy electronics, allowing instant access
without months of saving. As digital lending grows, EMI-based purchases are
becoming more common, offering consumers flexibility and easy access to the
latest technology without hefty upfront costs. For lenders and retailers, it’s
a growing opportunity to serve a digitally savvy generation. Use an EMI
calculator to estimate your monthly payments. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi : In a significant step towards strengthening overseas
workforce mobility and preparing Indian talent for global opportunities, the
Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) has signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the GATI (Global Access to Talent from
India) Foundation to strengthen coordination across India’s global skills
mobility ecosystem and expand structured overseas employment pathways for
Indian workers.

The MoU was signed in the presence of senior government
officials, Smt. Debashree Mukherjee , Secretary- Ministry of skill Development
and Entrepreneurship, GOI and Shri. Niranjan Kumar Sudhansu, Additional
Secretary- Ministry of skill Development and Entrepreneurship, GOI to
strengthen India’s global workforce pathways and building stronger
institutional coordination.

This partnership marks an important milestone for the GATI
Foundation, representing its first Central government partnership.
It is designed to strengthen engagement between the Union and State Governments
and support a more coordinated approach to international workforce mobility. A key
objective of the partnership is to improve alignment between national skilling
priorities and state-level implementation, ensuring that overseas employment
initiatives are supported through stronger institutional collaboration.

Commenting on the partnership, Arnab Bhattacharya, CEO,
GATI Foundation, said: “This MoU represents an important step toward building a
more unified national approach to global skills mobility. By working closely
with MSDE, the aim is to strengthen coordination between the Centre and States
and create a more cohesive framework that aligns skilling efforts, messaging,
and implementation across India’s workforce ecosystem. Together, the hope is to
accelerate India’s journey toward becoming the global skills capital of the
world by 2047.”

Through this partnership, MSDE and the GATI Foundation
will work to support institutional mechanisms while facilitating research,
ecosystem dialogue, and strategic inputs that strengthen India’s global skills
mobility architecture. This will also enable a more unified national approach
to workforce mobility, encouraging closer coordination between the Centre and
States, strengthening policy alignment, and enabling stakeholders across the
ecosystem to work towards shared goals.

By fostering a more cohesive and structured framework,
the collaboration seeks to strengthen India’s ability to respond to global
workforce demand while creating more accessible and well-supported pathways for
skilled Indian workers seeking opportunities abroad.

The timing of this initiative is fortuitous. Just last
week, a high-level industry meeting brought together key players across
recruitment agencies, global staffing firms, skilling and language providers,
mobility-tech platforms, immigration specialists, and sector experts to explore
a new industry-led effort aimed at strengthening coordination and setting
standards within India’s global skills mobility ecosystem. This development
builds on the momentum generated by recent collaborative efforts, signaling the
beginning of a more unified and strategic approach to advancing India’s
presence in the global workforce.

GATI Foundation is a non-profit organisation working to strengthen
India’s global skills mobility ecosystem by enabling structured and ethical
overseas employment pathways for Indian workers. The Foundation partners with
governments, industry, and international stakeholders to connect skilling with
global labour market opportunities.

<title>Schneider Electric launches ‘One Unit Mission’ to Accelerate India’s Energy Efficiency Movement</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/schneider-electric-launches-one-unit-mission-to-accelerate-indias-energy-efficiency-movement</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Part of the Green Yodha 2.0 campaign, it was
flagged off by Smt. Rekha Gupta, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi, and Actor
&amp; Sustainability Advocate Bhumi Pednekar

●       
The One Unit Mission hinges on the principle
that small actions by every Indian household can go a long way in accelerating
India’s energy‑efficiency ambitions

New
Delhi, March 13, 2026 : Schneider Electric, a global energy
technology leader, has launched the second phase of the Green Yodha initiative
with the ‘One Unit Mission’, calling on every Indian household to save at least
one unit of electricity daily. The campaign was flagged off in Delhi by Smt.
Rekha Gupta, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi, Actor &amp; Sustainability
Advocate Bhumi Pednekar, and several distinguished guests.

Speaking
at the launch, Smt. Rekha Gupta, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi, said,
“Delhi’s journey towards clean, resilient growth begins with how efficiently we
use the energy we already have. Green Yodha 2.0 reminds us that every citizen
is a stakeholder in India’s energy future, and that saving one unit of power
today is an act of nation‑building for tomorrow.”

As
India’s energy demand rises, the shift from power generation to energy
intelligence is essential. Using electricity wisely in homes, offices,
buildings, data centers, and factories lowers energy consumption and reduces
the need to build new infrastructure. This demand‑side efficiency is just as
critical as supply‑side expansion—and often far more cost‑effective. Every
rupee saved through energy efficiency can avoid three rupees of spending on new
electricity generation and supply. The energy we do not waste is the most
affordable and sustainable energy we have.

“India
is entering a decade of unprecedented growth, and that growth will require
enormous amounts of energy,” said Mr. Deepak Sharma, Zone President, MD
&amp; CEO, Schneider Electric India. “The real challenge is not just
how much power we produce, but how intelligently we use it. If every Indian
household saves just one unit of electricity a day, the impact would be
equivalent to planting billions of trees or taking millions of cars off the
road. That is the power of the One Unit Mission. Green Yodha 2.0 is about
turning simple daily actions into national impact at scale.”

At
Schneider Electric, we are your energy technology partner. We electrify,
automate, and digitalize every industry, business, and home—driving efficiency
and sustainability for all.

Mr.
Rajat Abbi, Vice President – Marketing, Schneider Electric India,
said: “Sustainability becomes real when it is simple and measurable. When
citizens track their energy consumption, they save. When businesses measure
efficiency, they reduce costs and emissions. The One Unit Mission is about
turning awareness into everyday action, and we encourage each Indian to be part
of this movement. Demand‑side efficiency will empower people and enterprises to
create impact instantly.”

In
FY 2023–24, India’s energy‑efficiency programs (PAT, UJALA, S&amp;L, SLNP,
CAFÉ) collectively saved 53.6 Mtoe, avoided 321 Mt CO₂, and reduced energy
expenditure by ₹2 lakh crore, equivalent to almost 6% of national
primary‑energy supply. These savings came largely from industry, validating
efficiency as a ‘first fuel’ that underpins affordable decarbonisation.

However,
as energy demand continues to rise, the next phase of progress requires wider
participation beyond large industries. The One Unit Mission initiative complements
government measures on efficient cooling and appliance standards and aligns
with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency’s call for deeper state‑level action under
the SEEI FY 2024 ranking framework.

By
bringing together government leaders, industry champions, and citizens under
the One Unit Mission, Schneider Electric aims to turn energy efficiency into a
national mission. Green Yodha 2.0 reinforces the belief that India’s
clean‑energy future will not be powered by generation alone, but by intelligent
consumption.

About
Schneider Electric

Electric is a global energy technology leader, driving efficiency and
sustainability by electrifying, automating, and digitalizing industries,
businesses, and homes. Its technologies enable buildings, data centers,
factories, infrastructure, and grids to operate as open, interconnected

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">“India is entering a decade of unprecedented growth, and that growth will require enormous amounts of energy,” said <b>Mr. Deepak Sharma, Zone President, MD &amp; CEO, Schneider Electric</b> <b>India</b>. “The real challenge is not just how much power we produce, but how intelligently we use it. If every Indian household saves just one unit of electricity a day, the impact would be equivalent to planting billions of trees or taking millions of cars off the road. That is the power of the One Unit Mission. Green Yodha 2.0 is about turning simple daily actions into national impact at scale.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">At Schneider Electric, we are your energy technology partner. We electrify, automate, and digitalize every industry, business, and home—driving efficiency and sustainability for all.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Mr. Rajat Abbi, Vice President – Marketing, Schneider Electric India</span></b><span lang="EN">, said: “Sustainability becomes real when it is simple and measurable. When citizens track their energy consumption, they save. When businesses measure efficiency, they reduce costs and emissions. The One Unit Mission is about turning awareness into everyday action, and we encourage each Indian to be part of this movement. Demand‑side efficiency will empower people and enterprises to create impact instantly.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In FY 2023–24, India’s energy‑efficiency programs (PAT, UJALA, S&amp;L, SLNP, CAFÉ) collectively saved 53.6 Mtoe, avoided 321 Mt CO₂, and reduced energy expenditure by ₹2 lakh crore, equivalent to almost 6% of national primary‑energy supply. These savings came largely from industry, validating efficiency as a ‘first fuel’ that underpins affordable decarbonisation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">However, as energy demand continues to rise, the next phase of progress requires wider participation beyond large industries. The One Unit Mission initiative complements government measures on efficient cooling and appliance standards and aligns with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency’s call for deeper state‑level action under the SEEI FY 2024 ranking framework.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">By bringing together government leaders, industry champions, and citizens under the One Unit Mission, Schneider Electric aims to turn energy efficiency into a national mission. Green Yodha 2.0 reinforces the belief that India’s clean‑energy future will not be powered by generation alone, but by intelligent consumption.</span></p>
<p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Schneider Electric is a global energy technology leader, driving efficiency and sustainability by electrifying, automating, and digitalizing industries, businesses, and homes.

<title>Entrepreneurs First Raises $200M to Back Next Generation of Global Founders and Expands its India Portfolio</title>

<description><![CDATA[  Bengaluru program continues to identify top
Indian tech founders for global scale

Bengaluru,
India : Entrepreneurs First
(EF), a global talent investor and company builder, today has announced it has
raised $200m of fresh capital from a group of veteran technology founders and
investors including investors like Reid Hoffman, John and Patrick Collison,
Eric Schmidt, Claire Hughes Johnson, Charlie Songhurst, Sara Clemens, Danny
Rimer, and Matt Cohler, alongside leading institutional investors including
Greylock.

With
$200m in fresh capital, EF is doubling down on its core thesis: the world has
more exceptional founders than it realises. EF exists to identify exceptional
individuals at the earliest stage and equip them with the peer group, structure,
and early capital required to build globally significant companies that would
not otherwise exist.

Building
across a wide range of sectors, EF India boasts a portfolio of 50+ successful
startups across industries and sectors. Under Rahul Samat’s leadership, EF
India continues identifying exceptional technical and entrepreneurial talent
and guiding them from day one to find a co-founder, develop an idea, build a
product, take it to market, and raise their first round of funding to build
globally important companies. 

EF’s
global portfolio of companies is now collectively valued at over $16 billion,
up from $3 billion in 2021 when they last raised. “We have raised this capital
to double down on what we do best: identifying extraordinary individuals early
and helping them build outlier companies from scratch,” said Alice Bentinck,
co-founder and CEO of EF. “Once we have identified the talent, our role is to
create the environments, peer groups and standards that push exceptional people
to operate at the edge of their capabilities,” said Matt Clifford,
co-founder and Chairman of EF.

EF
actively taps potential founders from leading universities, including Stanford,
MIT, Berkeley, Yale and in India, institutes like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and
BITS Pilani, among others. Selected individuals join EF’s intensive
company-building programs in Europe, India, and the US. Those who successfully
form companies receive pre-seed investment from EF and relocate to the Bay Area
for the fundraising and scaling phase of the program. Today, all EF companies
are incorporated in the US and are expected to build from San Francisco from
pre-seed onwards, maximising their chances of becoming global category creators
and leaders. Companies in the recent Bay Area cohorts raised up to $15m in seed
funding within two weeks of completing the program.

“India
continues to be one of the deepest pools of technical and entrepreneurial
talent in the world,” said Rahul Samat, Partner and General Manager,
Bangalore of EF in India. “We have raised this capital to double down on
identifying extraordinary individuals early and helping them build outlier
companies from scratch. Through our India program, founders join us often with
no idea and no co-founder, and within six months are positioned to raise from
leading Silicon Valley investors. We are one of the only platforms in India
that enable founders to build US-native companies from day one, giving them the
structure, network, and capital to compete globally from inception.”

EF
India has played a crucial role in identifying and backing some of the
country’s leading startups, such as Unbox Robotics, Unsiloed AI, Sidecar AI,
Aule Space, and many more. Some of which have gone on to secure funding from
world-leading investors such as Long Journey Ventures, Nexus Venture
Partners, Uncorrelated Ventures, Matrix Partners, SOSV and Pi Ventures. In
2024, EF began relocating all pre-seed-funded companies to the Bay Area ahead
of their seed rounds. Since then, founders have seen material improvements in
speed, execution, and fundraising outcomes. On average, time to raise has
halved, and valuations have doubled. 

Entrepreneurs
First is backed by serial entrepreneurs and prolific technology investors,
including Reid Hoffman, Elad Gil, Nat Friedman, Founders Fund, Greylock, John
and Patrick Collison, Demis Hassabis and Mustafa Suleyman. New to this round
are founders and investors like Aidan Gomez, Barney Hussey-Yeo, Danny Rimer,
Eric Schmidt, Jeffrey Dean &amp; Heidi Hopper, Jeff Hammerbacher, Mati
Staniszewski, Matt Cohler and Nick McKeown.

About

from traditional definitions of success and guide them toward building

their global ambitions. Its portfolio companies are backed by world-leading

Ancient wisdom and modern science can work
together.

Instead of choosing between Ayurveda and biomedical
advancement, Amethyst integrates both into personalized wellness programs.

The center focuses on:

·       Hormonal health optimization 

·       Metabolic reset programs 

·       Detoxification therapies 

·       Stress management 

·       Anti-aging and collagen support 

·       Regenerative wellness awareness 

With increasing cases of PCOS, thyroid disorders,
insulin resistance, obesity, chronic fatigue, and stress burnout in urban
India, preventive wellness is no longer optional. It is essential.

Rooted in Ayurveda, Strengthened by Science

Ayurveda forms the foundation of Amethyst’s
philosophy. The wellness programs include:

·       Dosha balancing rituals 

·       Herbal therapy concepts 

·       Detox support 

·       Therapeutic Abhyanga massage 

·       Mindful nutrition planning 

·       Mind-body alignment 

These traditional methods are enhanced with modern
technologies such as:

·       AI-Based Dosha Mapping 

·       Infrared sauna therapy 

·       Oxygen therapy 

·       LED light therapy 

·       Collagen radiance programs 

·       Crystal bowl sound healing 

·       Regenerative medicine awareness 

·       Exosome science education 

·       Structured metabolic optimization 

This integrated approach allows clients to
experience holistic yet measurable transformation.

AI-Based Dosha Mapping in Gujarat

One of the key highlights of Amethyst Scientific
Wellness is AI-integrated Dosha Mapping.

This system evaluates:

·       Body constitution 

·       Hormonal tendencies 

·       Stress response patterns 

·       Metabolic strength 

·       Aging indicators 

·       Detoxification efficiency 

By combining Ayurvedic profiling with scientific
assessment, the wellness team creates customized programs tailored to each
client’s physiology.

This makes Amethyst one of the few scientific
wellness centers in Surat and Ahmedabad offering data-driven personalization
rooted in Ayurveda.

<title>Bridging the Tech Divide: How SSGSERV is Redefining White&amp;Label IT and Global Tech Support</title>

<description><![CDATA[ In
today’s digital economy, enterprises depend heavily on uninterrupted technology
infrastructure. As global SaaS platforms and OEM technology providers expand
across markets, maintaining reliable customer and technical support has become
a growing challenge. Companies are no longer looking for basic call center
services but for specialized partners who can manage complex IT environments
while maintaining speed, quality and brand consistency.

This
evolving demand has created opportunities for organizations that can provide
deeper technical expertise and operational flexibility. Enterprises managing
servers, storage systems and cloud infrastructure often require advanced
troubleshooting, real-time monitoring and global dispatch capabilities—services
that go far beyond traditional outsourcing models.

Within
this landscape, SSGSERV has positioned itself as a specialized
operations partner for global technology companies. The company focuses on
CCaas white-label IT support, 24/7 Network Operations Center monitoring and
field dispatch engineering services designed for enterprise hardware
environments. By working behind the scenes, SSGSERV enables technology
providers to scale their support infrastructure while maintaining their own
brand identity and customer experience.

Guided
by the vision of entrepreneur Faizan Kanth, the company has built a
unique operational model connecting Bangalore, one of India’s leading
technology hubs, with Srinagar, an emerging center for skilled tech talent.
This dual-city approach combines established industry expertise with access to
a growing talent pool, helping the company maintain both scalability and
agility.

SSGSERV
has also expanded internationally, operating contact centers across the
United States, the Middle East and the Philippines. This global presence
allows the company to deliver round-the-clock support and maintain consistent
service coverage for clients operating across multiple time zones.

Today,
SSGSERV employs around 500 professionals who manage a wide range of
services including infrastructure support, L1 and L2 technical assistance,
customer support operations and hardware dispatch services. Their work, though
often invisible to end users, plays a crucial role in maintaining uptime and
operational continuity for enterprise technology environments.

As
global IT infrastructure becomes increasingly complex, the role of specialized
operational partners is becoming more important. By focusing on multi-vendor
environments and enterprise hardware support, SSGSERV is positioning itself as
a reliable partner for technology companies seeking to scale their support
systems without compromising service quality.

In
a world driven by digital connectivity, companies like SSGSERV are quietly
becoming essential contributors to the stability and resilience of the global
technology ecosystem. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ NewsReach
brings you unfiltered stories from professionals shaping the world of branding
on Brand Ki Baat.

The
essence of communication in an industry that is constantly evolving is
surprisingly timeless. Whether it is about building a brand, creating trust, or
navigating disruption, clarity of thought and authenticity of action remain
fundamental. With rapid shifts in technology, evolving consumer expectations,
and changing regulatory environments, today’s business leaders are no longer
just marketers or communicators. They are storytellers, strategists, and
guardians of credibility. The true measure of sustainable brand growth lies in
the ability to remain creative yet accountable, while imagining ideas that
create meaningful impact.

Welcome
to Crafting Bharat: Brand Ki Baat – Mumbai Edition, a industry first
podcast about brands, businesses and the people who build them from the inside
out. In this engaging episode, host Kartik Chawla sits down with Sujay
Rachh, Chief Marketing Officer at Nuvama Group and Girish Huria, Head of
Growth, APAC, We. and EVP at Avian We.; for a conversation on storytelling,
industry evolution, leadership, and the role of trust in building enduring
brands.

This series is proudly brought to you by NewsReach, India’s leading PR-tech platform, with
Production Partner HT Smartcast; Gifting Partner Nanaji Natural and Beauty
Partner Lakme Academy. Tune in for stories, insights, and inspiration!

Edited Excerpts

Have
major technological shifts ever created fear and uncertainty?

Girish
Huria: When social media came along as a technology,
it was a huge change in the way communication happened. Suddenly brands were
communicating with communities. And now we are seeing another huge shift happen
in the way communication is going to happen through the use of AI.

I
won’t deny the butterflies in your stomach when something huge changes. But I
do know that change is part of growth. “I think the truth is that if we do
not keep ourselves updated and ahead of the curve in this industry, we are
going to be irrelevant.”

How
do you see the role of AI in marketing and communication?

Sujay
Rachh: “I think AI is going to change the pace at
which things get done. It can help us get things done at a much faster pace.
But there is one thing to be understood.”

AI
can help us execute things, but AI cannot imagine things. It is still the human
imagination that has to be there. Recently, I was working on a conference that
was totally AI-driven. But AI never came up with the idea. It was I who came up
with the idea, and then AI was used as a tool to execute it. I think the future
is the same. Human imagination has to be there. Technology has to be there to
help us execute things.

How
do you balance brand storytelling with business metrics?

Sujay
Rachh: If you are only doing storytelling, you are
essentially writing poetry. And if you are only focusing on metrics without
storytelling, then you are doing accounting. For marketing to work effectively,
both of these elements have to coexist. Storytelling creates brand affinity and
emotional connection. Metrics ensure that storytelling is aligned with real
business outcomes.”

“In
my view, the role of a marketer is to ensure that creativity and accountability
work together rather than competing with each other.”

How
do financial services brands build trust today?

Sujay
Rachh: In financial services, almost every brand
claims to be the most trusted brand. But trust cannot be claimed; it has to be
demonstrated.

If
I am positioning my brand around long-term wealth creation, then every touch
point with my customer has to demonstrate that same philosophy. My
communication, my platforms, my customer engagement – everything has to
demonstrate that same philosophy.

“People
are not going to move large sums of money just because they saw a compelling
advertisement.”

From
marketing strategies to public relations and leadership positions, the
overriding message from the conversation is this: credibility does not develop
overnight. It is the result of a clear and consistent message, as well as the
capacity for change without sacrificing authenticity. As technology continues
to change the face of communication and younger generations continue to change
the face of the workplace, the leaders who will be successful are the ones who
are able to be innovative and resilient. The reason is this: brands do not grow
through visibility and marketing campaigns. They grow through trust that is
repeatedly earned through singular moments. Stay tuned for more such insights.

<title>Salary&amp;Weighted H&amp;1B Visa Selection: Tough on Indian undergraduate students but an opportunity for STEM graduates</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The
announced changes shift the H-1B selection process toward wage and role-based
outcomes, with neutral to positive impact on Indian Master’s graduates

Bengaluru,
March 12, 2026 : MPOWER Financing, a leading global firm
enabling high-potential international students to pursue higher education
abroad, has shared its assessment of the newly announced changes to the U.S.
H-1B visa program. MPOWER’s internal modeling, based on the past several years
of H-1B results, suggests that the shift from a random lottery to a wage-based
selection would have a neutral or even positive impact for Indian Master’s STEM
graduates.

What
is the new policy?

Today,
the H-1B program operates under an annual cap of 85,000 visas—65,000 in the
general pool and an additional 20,000 reserved for applicants with a U.S.
master’s degree or higher—with demand far exceeding supply. As a result,
selection is currently determined through a random lottery. In parallel,
certain employers such as universities, hospitals, and nonprofit research organizations
are exempt from the cap entirely, allowing them to sponsor H-1B workers
year-round without participating in the lottery.

The
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has replaced the traditional random
H-1B (work visa) lottery with a salary-weighted selection system, prioritising
applicants with higher wages. The change takes effect on February 27, 2026.

Under
the revised framework, H-1B registrations will receive weighted selection
chances based on prevailing wage levels. Higher-paying roles will receive
multiple entries in the selection process, while entry-level roles will receive
fewer, shifting the system from a chance-based lottery to a merit- and
wage-based selection model. As a result, candidates in higher-paying and more
specialised roles receive a greater probability of selection.

How
would Indian students be impacted?

Since
over 80% of Indian students in the U.S. are Master’s degree candidates, they
are most likely to enter the workforce at a higher prevailing wage level,
effectively improving their selection odds compared to undergraduate-level
roles.

By
contrast, undergraduate students—particularly those outside STEM and business
disciplines or from less brand-recognised institutions—may face reduced
selection probabilities under the new framework, unless they secure roles with
higher starting wages.

The
H-1B “win rate” remains a long-term calculation. Most STEM-eligible students
can apply for H-1B selection in each of their three years of Optional Practical
Training (OPT). In addition, U.S. Master’s degree holders benefit from a
separate annual allocation of 20,000 H-1B visas, which is over and above the
regular 65,000 cap.

This
advanced-degree allocation effectively provides Master’s graduates with two
opportunities for selection each year—first within the Master’s-only pool, and
then again in the general H-1B pool—materially improving long-term success
rates compared to undergraduate applicants.

Accordingly,
MPOWER’s internal modeling suggests that the transition to a weighted system
will have a marginal impact on the Indian student population’s long-term
success rates:

Current
System: A Master’s degree holder has a 3-year win
rate of 70% (accounting for three years of OPT and the separate Master’s draw).

●     
New Weighted System:
Under the new weighted system, a candidate would have a 3-year success rate of
66%: slightly lower, but broadly similar to their success rates under the
current regime.

●     
Promotion Impact:
Crucially, if that candidate is promoted to a higher-paying role by their third
year of OPT, their success rate rises to 73%, exceeding their probability under
today’s system. Similarly, graduates of top MBA or MS programs who secure
higher-paying roles in fields such as investment banking, management
consulting, or big tech may enter the system with an advantage, as their
initial compensation levels are more likely to align with the wage-weighted
selection criteria.

Overall,
the modeling suggests a broadly neutral outcome for Indian Master’s degree
students, with improved probabilities for those who advance into higher-paying
roles over time.

More
broadly, the proposed changes apply only to the capped H-1B program and do not
affect other employment-based visa categories. Pathways such as O-1 visas for
individuals with extraordinary ability, L-1 intracompany transfers, G-visas for
employees of international organizations, and permanent residence options such
as EB-2 NIW remain unchanged. For many international graduates, particularly
those with specialized skills or international organization employment, these
alternative routes continue to provide viable and unaffected options for
working in the United States.

It
is also important to note that certain categories of applicants remain exempt
from the annual H-1B cap altogether. Medic ]]></description>

Medical graduates and professionals employed by non-profit organisations, universities, and non-profit or university-affiliated hospitals may qualify for uncapped H-1B visas, meaning they are not subject to the annual numerical limits or the new selection framework. This provides continued stability for healthcare professionals and researchers trained in the U.S</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">“The new framework places greater emphasis on role quality, wage progression, and skill specialisation,” said Sasha Ramani, Head of Corporate Strategy and Government Relations for MPOWER Financing. “For Master’s graduates in high-demand fields, particularly STEM and analytics-driven roles, long-term outcomes remain largely stable. Students who secure mid-level jobs in high-paying fields like investment banking, management consulting, or top Tech companies, or students who grow into higher-paying positions over the course of their OPT are likely to increase their odds of securing an H1-B under this new system.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This wage-prioritization change comes on top of the recently announced $100,000 H-1B visa fee, which does not apply to international students transitioning from an F-1 student visa (and associated OPT period) to H-1B status from within the United States. This fee-exemption exemption ensures that U.S.-educated international graduates, who have already invested significantly in American higher education and workforce readiness, are not subject to additional financial barriers at the point of transition.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">MPOWER also sees increasing evidence that the value of a U.S. graduate degree is truly global. Our data suggests that more students are now pursuing parallel post-graduation pathways—gaining valuable work experience in the U.S. through OPT, while simultaneously exploring long-term immigration options in Canada as an alternative career pathway. This dual-track approach allows graduates to maximize the return on their U.S. education while maintaining flexibility in an evolving policy environment.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Overall, MPOWER views these policy updates as a recalibration of the H-1B system rather than a structural change. For Indian students pursuing U.S. Master’s degrees in high-demand fields, the pathway remains viable—particularly for those who focus on skill development, employer quality, and wage progression over time.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai  : Heads Up For Tails
(HUFT), India&#039;s most loved pet care brand, has launched a dedicated store
within the Tata Trust Small Animal Hospital in Mumbai, marking a meaningful
step in the brand&#039;s mission to support pets at every stage of their health
journey.

The
in-hospital store offers HUFT&#039;s range of thoughtfully designed products across
nutrition, lifestyle, accessories, and wellness, carefully curated to meet the
needs of pets, including those in recovery or requiring specialised care.

A
Partnership Rooted in Shared Values

This
partnership represents the coming together of two organisations that have long
championed the same belief: that animals deserve our deepest care and
commitment. Ratan Tata&#039;s vision for a world-class hospital where every paw
finds healing and compassion has inspired countless people in the veterinary
and welfare community, including HUFT, which was built on the parallel belief
that pets are family, and family deserves the best.

&quot;This
hospital reflects everything we&#039;ve worked towards at HUFT,&quot; shares Rashi
Narang, Founder of Heads Up For Tails. &quot;A space where animals
aren&#039;t just treated, but truly cared for. Where their well-being comes first.
Our products are designed with that same intention—science-led nutrition for
optimal health, thoughtfully crafted lifestyle products for comfort and
recovery, every item made with the belief that we owe our pets nothing less
than our very best. Having HUFT available within this hospital feels like a
natural extension of both our missions. We&#039;re honoured to support the legacy of
compassion that Mr. Tata built, and to be there for pets and their families
during the moments that matter most.&quot;

“At Tata Trusts Small Animal Hospital,
our commitment has always been to provide world-class medical care with
compassion at its core. This partnership with Heads Up For Tails allows us to
extend that promise beyond treatment, ensuring that pets and their families
have access to thoughtful nutrition and wellness solutions right here within
the hospital. Together, we are creating a truly holistic ecosystem of care,
where every pet’s healing journey is supported at every step&quot;, says the
Head of Partnerships at Tata Trusts Small Animal Hospital.

Comprehensive
Pet Care Under One Roof

The
HUFT store at Tata Trust Small Animal Hospital offers:

●       
Science-backed nutrition for dogs and cats

●       
Recovery support products

●     
Lifestyle essentials:
Comfortable bedding, gentle grooming products, and adaptive gear

●     
Wellness accessories:
Toys for mental stimulation, feeding solutions, and more

This
partnership ensures that pet parents visiting the hospital have immediate
access to high-quality products recommended by veterinary professionals,
eliminating the stress of sourcing appropriate items during challenging times.

About
Tata Trust Small Animal Hospital

The
Tata Trusts Small Animal Hospital, Mumbai, is India’s first state-of-the-art
referral veterinary hospital dedicated exclusively to dogs and cats. Built on
compassion, the hospital combines advanced medical technology with world-class
veterinary expertise to set new benchmarks in animal healthcare.

Our
services span across emergency and critical care, advanced diagnostics (CT,
MRI, ultrasound, endoscopy), internal medicine, soft-tissue and orthopedic
surgery, cardiology, oncology, dermatology, dentistry, and intensive care. Each
department is led by highly skilled veterinarians and supported by modern
facilities designed to provide pets with the same level of medical care
available in leading human hospitals.

Beyond
treatment, the hospital is committed to education, research, and community
welfare, conducting pet parenting sessions, supporting stray animal care, and
collaborating with veterinary institutions to build capacity in the profession.
With the guiding ethos of Care, Cure, Comfort, the Tata Trusts Small Animal
Hospital is not just a medical facility it is a sanctuary where every animal is
treated with dignity, and every pet parent finds reassurance through
compassionate, professional care.

About
Heads Up For Tails

Heads
Up For Tails (HUFT) was inspired by founder Rashi Narang&#039;s dog, Sara, and built
with a singular mission: to improve the lives of all pets. Today, HUFT is
India&#039;s largest and most loved pet care brand, with 100+ stores across India
and Singapore, 80+ pet spas, and over 5,000 thoughtfully designed products.

Beyond
creating products and services for pets and their families, HUFT extends its
care to community animals through the HUFT Foundation, which has helped feed
over 2.5 lakh animals, collared 12,000 street dogs, placed 4,500 beds and jackets,
and provided clean drinking water to more than 5 lakh animals.

Rooted
in safety, innovation, and empathy, HUFT believes that pets are family, and
family deserves the best.

Our products are designed with that same intention—science-led nutrition for optimal health, thoughtfully crafted lifestyle products for comfort and recovery, every item made with the belief that we owe our pets nothing less than our very best. Having HUFT available within this hospital feels like a natural extension of both our missions.

<description><![CDATA[ Milestone
marks the next phase of Wizz Financial&#039;s multi-product fintech platform,
extending its Wizz Cross Border USA capabilities into blockchain-based B2B and
B2C payments

Dubai,
UAE - March 12 2026 : Wizz Financial, the global fintech
company specializing in cross-border payments and digital wallets, today
announced the completion of its first stablecoin-powered cross-border
remittance and treasury transaction originating from the United States, with
capabilities into 80 countries, in partnership with BitGo Bank &amp; Trust,
N.A. (“BitGo”), an OCC-regulated digital asset trust bank and subsidiary of
BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BTGO). Through the partnership, Wizz Financial is
utilizing BitGo’s institutional-grade wallet infrastructure and e-trade services
to facilitate the conversion of fiat currency into stablecoins, enabling
near-real-time settlement, enhanced liquidity management, and compliant,
scalable cross-border remittance flows across its global network as new
corridors are progressively launched.

This
transaction marks the launch of Wizz Financial’s proprietary stablecoin and
blockchain strategy through its Wizz Cross Border USA platform, designed to
support both B2B and B2C cross-border payment flows.

By
integrating blockchain rails into its existing remittance, card, and digital
payments infrastructure, Wizz Financial aims to improve settlement speed,
transparency, pricing efficiency, and liquidity management, while operating
within established regulatory and compliance frameworks.

The
Group’s US platform is now live, enabling outbound payments from the United
States to global receiving markets. It also provides ACH-type account
capabilities to non-US customers, expanding access to US payment infrastructure
for international users.

“The
cross-border payments industry has been overdue for disruption. With this
milestone transaction, Wizz Financial is proving that stablecoin technology,
combined with robust regulatory compliance, can deliver what customers truly
need: speed, transparency, and affordability at scale. We&#039;re building the
future of global remittances, and this is just the beginning,” said Amir
Nagammy, Founder &amp; CEO of Wizz Financial.

&quot;Our
investment in blockchain infrastructure has culminated in a direct settlement
system that fundamentally reimagines treasury operations. By partnering with
BitGo and leveraging stablecoin rails, we have eliminated the inefficiencies
and delays that have plagued traditional cross-border payments. What was once a
complex, multi-day process now happens in near-real-time, and we are making it
accessible to businesses and individuals worldwide,” said Ben Yaniv Chechik,
Chief Technology Officer &amp; Chief Product Officer of Wizz Financial.

“We’re
pleased to support Wizz Financial on this project and its work to improve
cross-border payments” said Nick Coombs, Managing Director at BitGo.
“BitGo’s institutional platform is built with security and compliance in mind,
providing the infrastructure to help solutions like Wizz Cross Border USA
operate at scale.” 

The
milestone demonstrates Wizz Financial’s ability to combine regulated financial
infrastructure with blockchain technology to support remittances, card
programs, corporate settlements, and treasury flows across global markets. Wizz
Financial plans to work closely with regulators, banks, payment networks and
global partners to scale this model and extend stablecoin-based services to
more corridors and customer segments. The company is also exploring additional
blockchain partnerships and custody solutions to enhance operational efficiency
and security across its ecosystem.

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, India : In today’s rapidly evolving digital economy, industries are continuously
searching for skilled professionals who can adapt to modern technologies and
deliver practical solutions. Recognizing this growing demand, Evision
Technoserve has introduced a series of industry-focused training and internship
programs aimed at bridging the gap between academic education and real-world

Addressing
the Growing Skill Gap in the Industry

Across sectors
such as IT, digital marketing, design, and cloud computing, companies are
facing a major challenge: many graduates possess theoretical knowledge but lack
practical exposure and real project experience. This mismatch between education
and industry expectations often leads to difficulty in securing employment.

Evision
Technoserve aims to solve this problem by offering hands-on training programs
designed around current industry requirements. The organization focuses on
practical learning, live project work, and expert guidance to ensure that
learners are prepared to perform in professional environments from day one.

By integrating
real-world case studies, live training sessions, and project-based learning,
the company ensures that students gain not only knowledge but also the
confidence to apply their skills in the workplace.

The Flagship

One of the most
popular initiatives from Evision Technoserve is the 45 Days Job Internship
Program (Live). This program is specifically designed for students, freshers,
and job seekers who want to gain industry exposure and improve their
employability.

Unlike
traditional internships that often involve limited learning opportunities, this
program provides structured training combined with real-time project work.
Participants work on practical assignments under the supervision of experienced
mentors who guide them throughout the program.

●       
Live industry projects

Practical hands-on training
sessions

Expert mentorship from industry

Resume building and career
guidance

●       
Exposure to real workplace
tools and workflows

Through this
structured approach, students gain valuable experience that helps them build
strong portfolios, improve technical confidence, and prepare for job
interviews.

Expanding
into AI and Future-Ready Skills

As emerging
technologies continue to reshape industries, Evision Technoserve has expanded
its training portfolio to include Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud
computing, digital marketing, design, and coding programs.

These new
programs are designed to meet the growing demand for professionals with
future-ready technical skills.

Some of the key
programs include:

Microsoft
Azure Certification: Cloud computing has become a
critical part of modern IT infrastructure. The Microsoft Azure Certification
training program helps learners understand cloud architecture, virtual
machines, networking, storage solutions, and security management.

Students receive
hands-on training that prepares them for industry-recognized certifications and
roles such as Azure Administrator, Cloud Engineer, and Infrastructure
Specialist.

Master in AI
Digital Marketing: Digital marketing has evolved
significantly with the integration of Artificial Intelligence tools and
data-driven strategies. The Master in AI Digital Marketing program focuses on
modern marketing techniques such as:

●       
AI-powered content marketing

●       
Search engine optimization
(SEO)

●       
Social media marketing

●       
Data analytics and campaign
optimization

●       
Performance marketing
strategies

This program
prepares learners for careers in digital marketing agencies, startups, and
corporate marketing teams.

Master in
Graphic Design &amp; Video Editing: The demand for
creative professionals is growing rapidly as businesses rely on digital content
for branding and marketing.

The Master in

<title>JSB HOMEMAKERS UNVEILS SAMPLE FLAT AT GOKUL NAKSHATRA IN VIRAR WEST</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/jsb-homemakers-unveils-sample-flat-at-gokul-nakshatra-in-virar-west</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
11 March 2026 : JSB Homemakers
is one of the established residential developers in the Naigaon–Virar corridor,
with a consistent presence in the mid-segment housing market across the
extended Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The company has now unveiled the sample
flat of its latest residential development, Gokul Nakshatra, in Virar
West, marking a key milestone under its ongoing “Life Ho Toh Aisi” campaign.

The
unveiling represents the transition from project announcement to on-ground
buyer engagement. The sample flat has been designed to demonstrate layout
clarity, proportion, and practical planning, enabling prospective homeowners to
assess how the space functions rather than relying solely on brochures or floor
plans.

Located
minutes from Virar railway station and within proximity to hospitals, schools,
and daily-use infrastructure, Gokul Nakshatra has been positioned around
connectivity and everyday accessibility, factors that continue to shape housing
demand in suburban micro-markets.

The
project offers 2 and 3-BHK residences, and according to the developer, the
project includes some of the larger carpet configurations currently available
within its segment in Virar West. Connected balconies extend usable living
areas, while amenities such as EV charging stations and a dedicated toddlers’
play space reflect changing residential expectations among young families and
working professionals.

JSB
Homemakers had earlier strengthened its regional presence through its “Virar’s
First Choice” outreach. The current “Life Ho Toh Aisi” campaign builds on that
foundation, focusing on practical residential fundamentals, space efficiency,
infrastructure access, and long-term usability.

Mr.
Divyesh Sekseria, CEO of JSB Homemakers, said, “Virar has
evolved significantly over the last few years. Buyers here are no longer just
looking for an affordable address; they are planning long-term. They want space
that works for their family, access to transport that supports their daily
routine, and infrastructure that will grow with the area. At Gokul Nakshatra,
we have focused on getting these fundamentals right. The sample flat is not
about presentation; it is about helping buyers understand how the home will
function for them every day.”

Over
the years, JSB Homemakers has developed multiple residential communities across
the Naigaon–Virar belt, building its brand on delivery consistency,
micro-market understanding, and housing aligned with end-user demand. Its
continued expansion in Virar West reflects a long-term commitment to the
corridor and a strategy that prioritises sustainable residential growth over
short-term inventory movement.

The
sample flat is now open for scheduled visits, with bookings underway.

About JSB Homemakers

Homemakers is a Mumbai-based residential real estate developer with over two
decades of experience in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. With more than 1.6
million sq. ft. of completed development and over 3.3 million sq. ft. currently
under development, the company has delivered homes to more than 2,600 families
across key suburban micro-markets, including Naigaon, Vasai, Mira Road,
Bhayander, and Virar.

its well-recognised “Nakshatra” series and other standalone projects, building
a portfolio that reflects consistent execution and an understanding of evolving
end-user preferences. The company’s approach focuses on practical space
planning, connectivity-driven locations, and infrastructure-aligned growth
corridors.

<description><![CDATA[ BENGALURU,
INDIA, MARCH 11, 2026:

●       
Investments will build on “Make in India” and
Karnataka’s rich heritage in manufacturing

●       
Expansion will serve critical segments such as
data centers, metros, renewable energy, infrastructure, metals, etc.

●       
New facilities will build on the existing deep
presence of manufacturing and technology talent and facilities in the state

ABB,
a global technology leader in electrification and automation, is expanding its
manufacturing footprint in Bengaluru with greenfield campuses and shopfloors,
new product line expansions, service and training centers, and precision
equipment manufacturing across Electrification, Motion and Automation
businesses. ABB Group CEO Morten Wierod led the groundbreaking of a new
integrated Motion facility in Peenya. He also inaugurated the Electrification
and Automation Nelamangala Campus 2 on Kunigal Road.

ABB
has a strong and longstanding presence in Karnataka, with Bengaluru serving as
one of its most important manufacturing and technology hubs in India. With this
latest investment, ABB will operate three manufacturing locations with multiple
shopfloors in the state, employing more than 3,000 people across its
manufacturing operations.

“This
expansion reflects ABB’s long-term commitment to India and our local-for-local
strategy. By strengthening our manufacturing and technology capabilities in
Karnataka, we are bringing advanced ABB technologies closer to customers,
enabling industries to improve energy efficiency, digitalize operations and
support India’s infrastructure growth,” said Sanjeev Sharma, Country Head and
Managing Director, ABB India.

ABB’s
Motion business is expanding its Peenya campus with two new manufacturing
facilities. Spanning 6,100 sq m., the site will accommodate up to 300 employees
once fully operational. It will produce a broad range of energy efficient
motors, including flameproof (Ex) designs, roller table variants, and large
smoke ventilation models, along with low-voltage drives and programmable logic
controllers (PLCs). The campus will also host a service and training center
enhanced with digital tools and remote diagnostics to support customers throughout
the equipment lifecycle. ABB’s portfolio of high efficiency motors and drives
installed over the past 12 years has delivered annual energy savings of
approximately 20 TWh—equal to nearly half of Delhi’s yearly electricity
consumption.

At
ABB’s second Nelamangala campus, a 16,470 sq m. multi business manufacturing
hub has been set up to expand production for the Electrification and Automation
businesses. The facility will support a broader portfolio, including smart
power technologies, system interface units, gas analyzer system integration,
service labs, blending operations, excitation systems and high-power
rectifiers. Manufacturing of power management solutions critical for data
centers will scale up nearly tenfold at this campus, reinforcing ABB’s role as
a key technology provider. ABB’s low and medium voltage systems already power
more than 30% of India’s hyperscale data centers. 

The
campus will also advance ABB’s innovation led Make in India portfolio,
including blending and excitation solutions for lube, paint, paper &amp; pulp
industries. The excitation supply factory will deliver systems not only within
India but also for export to the wider region to support reliable power
generation and resilient grids. The blending facility will include an assembly
line for pigging line valves, automation staging cabinets and on-site factory
acceptance tests (FAT) to enable efficient and reliable operations in the
Indian paint industry. With this investment, the high-power rectifiers supplied
to local chemical and metals customers will now also extend to regional
markets.

ABB
recently announced investment of USD 75 million in 2026 to expand manufacturing
and R&amp;D for critical segments and creating 300+ new skilled jobs in
engineering, operations, and research. This investment, combined with its 2025
spend of over $35 million, reflects ABB&#039;s commitment to scaling its
&quot;local-for-local&quot; strategy in India. 

 Karnataka has long been a center for
technology talent across software, manufacturing and R&amp;D, and ABB’s
continued investments strengthen the state’s industrial ecosystem by expanding
local manufacturing, developing specialized skills and supporting supplier
networks across the region.

ABB
is a global technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a
more sustainable and resource-efficient future. By connecting its engineering
and digitalization expertise, ABB helps industries run at high performance,
while becoming more efficient, productive and sustainable so they outperform.
At ABB, we call this ‘Engineered to Outrun’. The company has over 140 years of
history and around 110,000 employees worldwide. ABB’s shares are listed on the
SIX Sw ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/virtual-auditor-launches-integrated-fema-valuation-and-forensic-advisory-platform-for-indian-startups</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ CHENNAI, India — March 11, 2026 : Virtual Auditor (https://virtualauditor.in), a digital compliance, valuation, and forensic
advisory platform headquartered
in Chennai with offices in Bangalore and Mumbai, today announced the expansion
of its integrated service offerings across eight professional practice
verticals. Leveraging its digital-first infrastructure, the platform serves
startups, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and cross-border investors seamlessly
across all of India.

Key Highlights

•        
Pan-India
Digital Compliance: Single-desk FEMA,
valuation, and corporate law services to eliminate fund-raise delays for
startups anywhere in India.

•        
Advanced
Valuation: Utilizes 18 global methodologies and
10,000-iteration Monte Carlo simulations for regulatory defensibility.

•        
Post-Angel
Tax Readiness: Ensures mandatory Rule
11UA and FEMA compliance for cross-border transactions following the July 2024
Union Budget.

Founded
in 2012 by CA V.
Viswanathan, Fellow
Chartered Accountant (FCA), Associate Company Secretary (ACS), Certified Fraud
Examiner (CFE, ACFE USA), and IBBI Registered Valuer (IBBI/RV/03/2019/12333),
Virtual Auditor&#039;s national operations are driven from its headquarters at G-131,
Phase III, Spencer Plaza, Anna Salai, Chennai – 600002.

Eight Integrated Practice Verticals

Virtual
Auditor delivers end-to-end advisory services to clients nationwide across the
following verticals:

•        
IBBI-compliant
business valuations

•        
FEMA
compliance for companies with foreign direct investment

•        
GST and
income-tax appeal representation

•        
Company
Secretary and corporate law services

•        
Transfer
pricing advisory and dispute resolution

•        
CFE-led
forensic accounting and fraud investigation

•        
Startup due
diligence

•        
Regulatory
support for domestic and cross-border transactions

Advanced Valuation Methodology

The
firm&#039;s valuation practice employs 18 internationally accepted valuation
methods, including Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), Net Asset Value (NAV), Rule
11UA, First Chicago, and Failure-Adjusted DCF models. Each valuation is
validated using 12 statistical and risk-analysis tools, including Value
at Risk (VaR), Conditional VaR (CVaR), Bootstrap Confidence Intervals, and
Discounts for Lack of Marketability (DLOM) calculated using the Chaffe and
Finnerty models.

All
valuation reports incorporate 10,000-iteration Monte Carlo simulations
to ensure robustness and regulatory defensibility.

Single-Desk Compliance for Capital Raises

&quot;Startups
raising foreign capital face simultaneous regulatory triggers under FEMA, the
Income-tax Act, and the Companies Act for every transaction, regardless of
where they are headquartered in India,&quot; said CA V. Viswanathan,
Founder, Virtual Auditor. &quot;Virtual Auditor manages the valuation, board resolutions,
and regulatory filings from a single desk, eliminating coordination failures
that often delay fund-raise closures by several months. Furthermore, our
integrated forensic advisory ensures that investor interests remain
comprehensively protected through rigorous, CFE-led due diligence.&quot;

Following
the abolition of Section 56(2)(viib) (angel tax) in the Union Budget
of July 2024, the firm notes that FEMA floor-pricing norms and Rule 11UA
valuations for secondary share transfers continue to apply. As a result,
professional valuation remains mandatory across India for transactions
involving non-resident shareholders.

Digital Platform and Practitioner Resources

The

<description><![CDATA[   

Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India : A remarkable breakthrough has occurred in the field of environmental
science that could redefine the way pollution is controlled. Ahmedabad-based
Radheeka Environment Private Limited has developed an innovative machine called
AIR TREATMENT PLANT (ATP) that not only cleans air and dust but also operates
using dirty water (wastewater) and in return releases purified water.

 

The World’s First ‘Zero Waste’ Pollution
Control Technology

This machine, which was patented a year ago,
is now fully ready after successfully completing 10 trials. Its working
mechanism is considered highly unique.

 

Waste Water Recycling

The machine draws dirty water, purifies it
completely, and continuously reuses the same water. In regions where water
scarcity is a serious concern, this technology can prove to be extremely
beneficial.

 

99% Air Purification

The machine can purify up to 99% of harmful
particles present in the air such as PM1, PM2.5 and PM10. It effectively
captures particles ranging from microscopic pollutants to large dust particles.

 

100% Dust Recycling

Dust generated from construction sites and
industrial operations is completely recycled by this machine, ensuring that no
waste is generated.

 

Filter-less and Chemical-free Innovation

Generally, such systems require expensive
filters and chemicals to operate. However, this machine developed by Radheeka
Environment functions without any filters. It only uses a safe Coagulation
Agent, making the maintenance requirements almost negligible.

 

Vision of the Founder

The company’s founder designed and developed
this machine after years of research and dedicated effort. According to the
company, this technology has the potential to purify both air and water in some
of the world’s most polluted cities, including Delhi. It is expected to become
a highly effective solution for tackling industrial air pollution and dust
pollution at its root.

 

Key Features of the Machine

and All-New Attractions at Sea –

Debuting in Miami in Late March, Norwegian Luna Will Be the Newest Ship to Sail
Year-Round Caribbean Itineraries and Visit NCL’s Resort-Style Destinations –

Mumbai :  Norwegian Cruise Line®
(NCL), the global leader in innovative cruise travel, took delivery of Norwegian Luna™, the 21st
ship in its award-winning fleet, from Fincantieri, a global leader in
high-complexity shipbuilding, at its shipyard in Marghera, Italy.

As
the second ship in the next-generation Prima Plus Class, Norwegian Luna
elevates every moment of the guest journey. Measuring 156,000 gross tons, the
3,565‑passenger ship features 1,809 well-appointed staterooms and an
exceptional collection of intentionally designed venues and experiences. With
17 dining options as well as 18 bars and lounges, the ship offers remarkable
culinary variety and vibrant social settings to suit every mood and moment.
From wide open spaces and immersive entertainment to moments beyond
expectation, Norwegian Luna ensures that every experience feels effortless. 

“We
are thrilled to welcome Norwegian Luna to our fleet and to welcome our first
guests aboard next week,” said Marc Kazlauskas, president of Norwegian Cruise
Line. “As our newest ship, Norwegian Luna is a powerful reflection of NCL’s
‘It’s Different Out Here’ brand ethos. She delivers freedom, flexibility and
thoughtfully curated experiences, allowing guests to enjoy their vacation
exactly how they want, with ease. This ship represents the continued evolution
of our vision and the incredible work behind an award-winning class of ships.
We are deeply appreciative of the world-class architects and designers, as well
as our talented partners at Fincantieri who brought Norwegian Luna to life.
We’re proud to continue this strong partnership as we look ahead to building
more exceptional NCL vessels together over the next decade.”

Designed
for both families and travelers looking for elevated experiences, Norwegian
Luna offers an impressive variety of activities and choices. Families will find
no shortage of fun, with a wide range of innovative attractions designed for
all ages. Highlights include the Aqua Slidecoaster, a thrilling hybrid between
a waterslide and rollercoaster exclusively available on NCL, which was recently
named the “Best Water Park Ride/Attraction” by the International Association of
Amusement Parks and Attractions. The all-new Luna Midway offers an outdoor
amusement‑park‑style area featuring carnival‑inspired games, and the debuting
Moon Climber challenges kids and adults alike with a multi‑level obstacle
course. Interactive play spaces include The Luna Game Zone, offering everything
from retro arcade favorites to cutting‑edge virtual reality experiences. Sports
and social play come together at the Glow Court, a high‑tech complex with an
interactive LED floor that transforms from an energetic play space during the
day into a lively club at night. Meanwhile, adults seeking more relaxed escapes
can unwind at the award-winning Mandara Spa, known for its world‑class wellness
offerings, or retreat to the adults‑only Vibe Beach Club.

At
night, guests can immerse themselves in best-in-class entertainment with
“Elton: A Celebration of Elton John™,” which pays tribute to the legendary and
timeless music of the Sir himself, as well as “HIKO: Innovation Meets Wonder™,”
a multimedia show featuring innovative design, cirque-style acrobatics, and
contemporary dance. The guest-favorite Syd Norman’s Pour House returns with a
new “A Tribute to Eagles™,” an unforgettable production spotlighting the music
of one of the best American bands of all time.

Culinary
enthusiasts will delight in the dining line-up offering diverse options to suit
every taste and preference. Guests can enjoy complimentary main dining rooms
serving a rotating menu of classic favorites and globally inspired dishes, as
well as a 24‑hour eatery for casual bites any time of day. The Indulge Food
Hall adds even more variety, with nine stations offering flavors from around
the world, including Indian cuisine, hearty smokehouse favorites, noodle dishes
and plant-based options. For those looking to explore something a little
different, specialty restaurants such as Le Bistro, NCL’s signature French
restaurant, and Sukhothai, a Thai dining venue blending traditional recipes
with creative twists, provide memorable evenings in inviting settings.

Moreover,
Norwegian Luna offers a wide variety of thoughtfully designed staterooms to
meet the needs of every type of traveler, from solo adventurers and families to
couples and luxury seekers. Guests can choose from well-appointed inside,
oceanview and balcony staterooms, as well as suites. At the pinnacle of the

<title>How Speaker Yash Tiwari Inspires To SpeakBOLD In This Modern Era</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/how-speaker-yash-tiwari-inspires-to-speakbold-in-this-modern-era</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/how-speaker-yash-tiwari-inspires-to-speakbold-in-this-modern-era</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In
a world of rapid advancements, the &quot;human element&quot; of interaction is
weakening, leaving entire generations hesitant of communicating. Addressing
this urgent gap, international public speaker, storyteller, and communication
mentor Yash Tiwari is championing an impactful new approach to revitalising the
human voice: inspiring individuals to SpeakBOLD©.

&quot;In this new
era, the fear of articulating thoughts verbally—and originally—is paralyzing
immense potential amongst the youngsters,&quot; says Yash Tiwari, who has
delivered multiple TEDx and Josh Talks, has been a Mentor Of Change for NITI
Aayog’s Atal Innovation Mission, and guiding audiences globally for the past
decade. &quot;The future does not belong to those who simply echo what is
already there in the noise, unable to speak or write. Whether you are a working
professional or a student, if you want to stand out, you must interact
confidently, communicate creatively, and SpeakBOLD. This philosophy is entirely
about empowering yourself to command your unique voice mindfully and value your
words.&quot;

Refined over
years of interactions with audiences around the world and through extensive
research into the psychology of impact, the ability to SpeakBOLD is not just a
standard training point. It is a critical necessity for the modern age, as
Tiwari highlights. It is built on the premise that to thrive in a noisy,
digital-first world, individuals must shift from passive talking to creative,
intentional communication in all moments of interaction, whether personal or
professional.

Decoding
Mentor Yash Tiwari’s Framework of Speaking B.O.L.D. At the core
of Tiwari&#039;s mentorship are the &quot;New Rules&quot; of communication,
encapsulated in the B.O.L.D. principles. This approach shifts learners away
from abstract jargon and towards high-definition clarity: Bridging
the gap between you and your listeners with confidence. Owning the
attention of your audience through curiosity. Leveling language to
move from complex to creative. Directing speech with absolute
intent and command, as guided by the communication expert.

From
Philosophy to Practice – The &quot;Concerts of Communication&quot; : To
translate this concept into actionable skills, International Speaker Yash
Tiwari has developed the concept of a &quot;Concert of Communication.&quot;
Unlike traditional, passive seminars, these immersive, interactive experiences
hosted by the international orator are designed to guide learners—from students
to executives—about how to SpeakBOLD in their day-to-day communications.

A
Legacy of Impact As a Global Speaker and Mindfulness Mentor,
Yash Tiwari has delivered multiple TEDx Talks and Josh Talks. His expertise in
storytelling and communication has led him to conduct highly acclaimed sessions
for prestigious organizations, including the Atal Innovation Mission (NITI Aayog),
National Book Trust (Ministry of Education), Infosys Foundation, Navbharat
Times, and Dainik Jagran, as well as premier institutes like the IITs, NITs,
and Delhi University colleges. Through his ongoing mentorship, Yash Tiwari
continues his mission to transform passive audiences into active, bold
communicators, equipping the next generation with the one thing that modern
tools can never replicate: a distinct, authentic human voice. He empowers
individuals and organizations globally to master the art of impactful
storytelling.

<title>AAHAR 2026 – 40th Edition: Strengthening India’s role in the global food economy through a structured B2B platform</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi | 10th March 2026: At a time when the world is navigating
geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain disruptions, and economic realignments,
food security and food trade have become more critical than ever. In such a
global environment, platforms that strengthen trade partnerships and supply
chain resilience become extremely important. The 40th edition of AAHAR is
therefore not just another exhibition — it is a statement of India’s growing
role in the global food economy.

Over the last
four decades, AAHAR has evolved into one of Asia’s most respected
Business-to-Business platforms for the food and hospitality sector. It connects
producers, processors, exporters, technology providers, hospitality leaders and
institutional buyers from across the world. As India hosts the 40th edition
this year, the exhibition reflects both continuity and transformation —
continuity of a trusted trade platform, and transformation in how the global
food ecosystem is evolving.

AAHAR exists
because trade platforms are essential for translating production strength into
economic opportunity. India today is among the largest producers globally of
milk, spices, rice, fruits and vegetables, and pulses. Specifically, India
accounts for 24% of global milk production, commands a 25% share of the $20
billion global spices market, contributes 28% of world rice production, and
leads in fruits like bananas (26% global production), mangoes (43%), and
papayas (37%). However, production scale does not automatically translate into
proportionate export dominance. These figures illustrate that production alone
does not create economic value. Value is created when agriculture connects with
processing, technology, packaging, logistics and global markets. AAHAR provides
exactly this platform.

Recent export
performance underscores this opportunity. In FY25, dairy exports reached
113,350 metric tonnes valued at $493 million, representing an 80% year-on-year
increase. Similarly, while India produces spices at scale, it captures
approximately 25% of global spice exports, exporting 1.5 million tonnes worth
$4.5 billion annually. Rice exports demonstrate stronger global penetration, with
India shipping 21.55 million tonnes in 2025, valued at approximately $12.95
billion in FY25, representing significant volume in global rice trade. Fruits
and vegetables exports reached $1.82 billion in FY25, while pulses exports hit
a record 876,000 metric tonnes from January to November 2025, with full-year
projections approaching 1 million metric tonnes. These indicators underline a
clear pathway: strengthen value addition and processing capability, promote
technology adoption, and build structured market linkages that expand India’s
presence in global food trade.

AAHAR enables
this through outcomes that are clearly business-focused. It facilitates
business matchmaking, export partnerships, technology exchange and investment
opportunities. For entrepreneurs, processors, hospitality players and
exporters, AAHAR is where real business conversations happen.

Food and hospitality is among the fastest growing sectors in India,
driven by demography, rising prosperity, urbanisation, lifestyle changes,
rapidly growing leisure travel, outsourcing events and the evolution of a
modern market, services and supply chain infrastructure. At the heart of this
growth is the food processing industry. In this context, AAHAR’s relevance
extends across the complete sector—from the front end to the back end—bringing
together stakeholders across food processing and hospitality solutions, and
connecting them to the world.

The scale of this
year’s edition demonstrates the confidence that global industry has in the
platform. AAHAR 2026 features 1800+ exhibitors, including 155 international
exhibitors from 17 countries, with Italy as the Partner Nation. Participants
represent the entire food ecosystem including processed foods, dairy and marine
products, spices and organic produce, bakery and confectionery, food processing
machinery, cold chain technology, packaging innovations and hospitality
solutions. This breadth makes AAHAR one of the most comprehensive food and
hospitality trade events in the region.

The exhibition
increasingly serves as a platform not just for physical products, but for
technology solutions that enhance efficiency and sustainability across the food
value chain. As global supply chains diversify, countries are looking for
stable and reliable sourcing partners. India offers a unique combination of
agricultural scale, skilled workforce, expanding food processing capacity, and
a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem. Total agricultural and processed food
exports reached approximately $49 billion in FY25, with agricultural exports
constituting 11.9–13% of India’s total export basket. The food processing
sector contributes 7.93–8.8% to India’s manufacturing Gross Value Added (GVA)
and accounts  ]]></description>

<p><span>A defining pillar of the platform is its relevance for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and emerging entrepreneurs. AAHAR has always provided an inclusive platform for these businesses. Through dedicated startup pavilions, buyer-seller interaction sessions, and global networking opportunities, the exhibition enables smaller enterprises to connect with larger markets and institutional buyers. For many MSMEs, AAHAR is where their products first reach global buyers, where they secure their first export orders, and where they establish relationships with technology providers and logistics partners that enable scale. The government’s support through schemes like PM Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME), Production Linked Incentive (PLI) for food processing, and infrastructure development under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY) creates an enabling environment that platforms like AAHAR help translate into commercial opportunities.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>The global food industry is increasingly focused on sustainability and responsible business practices. This includes responsible sourcing and ethical supply chains, efficient resource use particularly water and energy, sustainable packaging solutions reducing plastic use, lower carbon footprints through optimized logistics, waste reduction and circular economy principles, and organic and regenerative agriculture practices. Many exhibitors at AAHAR are showcasing innovations in these areas, reflecting the industry’s commitment to responsible growth. Sustainability is no longer a peripheral concern but a core competitive advantage in global food trade.</span><span></span></p>

<title>iTokri Launches India’s Largest Curated Handmade Summer Fabric Collection with 500+ Craft Clusters</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The
platform, which adds 500+ new handmade products daily from 10,000+ artisans,
says Indian handloom cottons outperform imported alternatives on breathability,
durability, and environmental impact

Gwalior,
March 2026 : iTokri, the artisan-direct e-commerce platform
that has worked with over 10,000 artisans across 500+ craft clusters since
2012, has opened its 2026 summer fabric collection – what the company says is
the largest curated selection of handmade summer running fabrics available
online in India. The collection spans Mulmul, Kota Doria, Chanderi cotton,
organic Kala Cotton, Ajrakh, Kalamkari, Bagh block print, Mangalagiri handloom,
Sambalpuri Ikat, and Bandhani, sourced directly from weaver communities across
nine states.

The
platform’s summer range is built around a functional claim: that Indian
handloom fabrics are engineered for Indian summers in ways imported fabrics are
not. Kota Doria, woven in Kaithoon near Kota, Rajasthan, uses an open-weave
technique that allows continuous air circulation even in 42°C heat. Mulmul
cotton, at 60–80 GSM, is among the lightest woven fabrics available, with a
drape and breathability that thicker imported linens cannot match. Organic Kala
Cotton from Kutch, Gujarat, is rain-fed, grown without pesticides, and processed
without chemical finishing – a production model with a significantly lower
environmental footprint than synthetic or chemically treated alternatives.

“We
know our Mulmul. Pick up a 70 GSM mul-mul cotton and hold it against a 150 GSM
imported linen – in April heat, the difference is obvious within minutes. The
mul breathes, it doesn’t cling, and it actually gets softer with every wash.
These are not heritage textiles waiting to be rediscovered. These are working
fabrics, refined over generations for exactly the conditions we live in. Our
job is to make them easy to find and trust online,” says Nitin Pamnani, founder
of iTokri.

Unlike
mass-retail summer collections, iTokri’s fabrics are produced in small batches
by artisan families, with most items not restocked once a batch sells out. The
platform adds over 500 new products daily, reflecting the production rhythms of
its artisan partners rather than seasonal fashion cycles. All artisans are paid
in advance, and the supply chain operates without middlemen – a model the
company has maintained since its founding in 2012.

The
2026 summer collection includes hand block-printed cottons from Bagru and
Sanganeri clusters in Rajasthan, Kalamkari textiles from Srikalahasti in Andhra
Pradesh, Pochampally Ikat from Telangana, Chikankari-embroidered fabrics from
Lucknow, and Maheshwari weaves from Madhya Pradesh. Fabrics are available as
running fabric by the metre, dress material sets, kurtas, dupattas, and sarees.
The platform ships across India and to the US, UK, UAE, Australia, Singapore,
Canada, and Germany.

The
launch comes during a period of growing consumer interest in Indian handloom.
The summer clothing market is seeing projected 15% growth, with Mulmul emerging
as the fabric of choice among urban millennials for its lightweight feel and
social media-friendly drape. iTokri says it holds the deepest catalogue of
handmade running fabrics available from any single online source in India, with
over 100,000 product listings across its platform.

Organic Kala Cotton from Kutch, Gujarat, is rain-fed, grown without pesticides, and processed without chemical finishing – a production model with a significantly lower environmental footprint than synthetic or chemically treated alternatives.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">“We know our Mulmul. Pick up a 70 GSM mul-mul cotton and hold it against a 150 GSM imported linen – in April heat, the difference is obvious within minutes. The mul breathes, it doesn’t cling, and it actually gets softer with every wash. These are not heritage textiles waiting to be rediscovered. These are working fabrics, refined over generations for exactly the conditions we live in. Our job is to make them easy to find and trust online,” says Nitin Pamnani, founder of iTokri.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Unlike mass-retail summer collections, iTokri’s fabrics are produced in small batches by artisan families, with most items not restocked once a batch sells out. The platform adds over 500 new products daily, reflecting the production rhythms of its artisan partners rather than seasonal fashion cycles. All artisans are paid in advance, and the supply chain operates without middlemen – a model the company has maintained since its founding in 2012.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The 2026 summer collection includes hand block-printed cottons from Bagru and Sanganeri clusters in Rajasthan, Kalamkari textiles from Srikalahasti in Andhra Pradesh, Pochampally Ikat from Telangana, Chikankari-embroidered fabrics from Lucknow, and Maheshwari weaves from Madhya Pradesh. Fabrics are available as running fabric by the metre, dress material sets, kurtas, dupattas, and sarees. The platform ships across India and to the US, UK, UAE, Australia, Singapore, Canada, and Germany.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The launch comes during a period of growing consumer interest in Indian handloom. The summer clothing market is seeing projected 15% growth, with Mulmul emerging as the fabric of choice among urban millennials for its lightweight feel and social media-friendly drape. iTokri says it holds the deepest catalogue of handmade running fabrics available from any single online source in India, with over 100,000 product listings across its platform.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ CSRBOX
and The Godavari Initiative (TGI) have concluded a strategic two-day engagement
across Maharashtra, establishing a unified framework for basin-level water
stewardship and impact investment. Held on 23 and 24 February 2026, the program
functioned as a connected sequence of high-level dialogues, bridging Mumbai’s
financial leadership with Nashik’s frontline innovation. By anchoring a
delegation of international representatives, government authorities, and
corporate leaders, the partners have formalized a multi-stakeholder ecosystem
dedicated to scaling nature-based solutions and sustainable capital deployment
across the Godavari River basin.

The
engagement marks a shift toward integrated water governance, moving beyond
isolated corporate projects to a collective, basin-wide investment model. By
synchronizing policy objectives with private sector resources, the initiative
has created an institutional conduit for long-term water security and climate
resilience. This collaboration establishes a measurable roadmap for the region,
ensuring that technical innovation and institutional capital are directly
aligned with the socio-economic restoration of one of India&#039;s most vital river
systems.

23
February 2026: IWRF Maharashtra Chapter, Mumbai

On
23 February, CSRBOX and The Godavari Initiative convened the Maharashtra
Chapter of the India Water and Rivers Forum (IWRF) in Mumbai. The chapter meet
brought together leaders from corporate, development, and sustainability
sectors to translate national priorities on water security into state-level
action, with a focus on river basin resilience and coordinated institutional
response.

The
engagement drew senior global sustainability leadership from Diageo, including
Mr. James Ashall, Global Director, Diageo in Society and Mr. Michael Alexander,
Consultant for Diageo. As pioneers in advancing responsible water stewardship,
Diageo brings experience from more than 10 water forums globally, contributing
valuable insights on corporate leadership and collaborative approaches to
basin-level water management.

The
Basin Stewardship Roundtable provided a structured platform to explore how
financial resources, institutional mechanisms, and collaborative frameworks can
be aligned to deliver long-term impact at scale. Representatives from nonprofit
organisations working directly with communities, including Raah Foundation,
Nashik Ploggers, Marathwada Gramin Vikas Sanstha, Lipok Social Foundation,
Prayas Youth Foundation, and Krushi Vikas Va Gramin Prashikshan Sanstha,
contributed field-level insights on river restoration, watershed management,
and livelihood interventions. This reinforced the case for sustained grassroots
engagement alongside policy and corporate action.

Reflecting
on the intent behind taking the forum from a national platform to state-level
engagement, Mr. Bhomik Shah, Founder and CEO of CSRBOX, emphasised the
importance of building regional momentum for water stewardship. He quoted,

&quot;When
we convened the India Water and Rivers Forum at the national level in October
2025, our intent was to take this dialogue to the states. Maharashtra was a
natural starting point for a regional chapter, and we hope it will catalyse
similar efforts across other states. This is also a key step in expanding The
Godavari Initiative beyond Maharashtra to Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and other
regions connected to the basin.&quot; 

The
forum also brought in global industry perspectives on responsible water
stewardship and the importance of collective action across sectors. Mr. James
Ashall, Global Director, Diageo in Society, expressed that:

&quot;Water
stewardship cannot be approached in isolation. It requires collaboration across
government, industry, and communities. Platforms like these create the space to
align priorities and move from intent to measurable action at the basin level.&quot;

The
discussions in Mumbai established a shared foundation for multi-stakeholder
approaches to water and environmental action. A Basin Stewardship Roundtable
brought together corporate and foundation leaders, including Aditya Birla
Group, Wipro, ITC, Marico India Limited, and JSW Foundation, to name a few, alongside
ecosystem institutions such as IUCN India, TERI, ICICI, and GIZ, to explore how
corporate stewardship, policy priorities, and on-ground implementation can
align to strengthen basin resilience.

The
Forum also advanced partnership engagements with IUCN India to integrate
science-based conservation and biodiversity expertise, and with RECAP4NDC under
Indo-German cooperation to link forest and tree cover enhancement with national
climate commitments. Together, these collaborations bring conservation science,
climate policy alignment, corporate stewardship, and ecosystem restoration into
a shared basin framework. The same visiting delegation and institutional
partners carried this momentum into Nashik the fol ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Alappuzha, March 9,
2026 : On this International Women’s Day, Xandari Pearl Beach Resort highlights its impactful
collaboration of eight years with the women-led enterprise Kudumbashree. The
partnership reflects the brand’s guiding philosophy of the 3C’s — Community,
Collaboration, and Conservation — translating responsible tourism into
meaningful livelihood support for local women. 


The collaboration began
in 2018. Over the past eight years, Xandari Pearl Beach Resort has worked closely with Kudumbashree
units, consistently sourcing
approximately 60 kg of traditional food products such as puttu podi, appam
podi, and ari podi every month. This steady sourcing model has evolved into a
structured livelihood support system, where tourism directly strengthens
women-led microenterprises across Kerala. 

“Our eight-year partnership
with Kudumbashree reflects how we define responsible tourism, not as an
initiative, but as a long-term commitment embedded in our operations. By
prioritising local sourcing, we are creating consistent income opportunities
for women-led enterprises while ensuring that the benefits of tourism remain
within the community,” said Arvind Gangadharan, Chief Xperience Officer,
Xandari Resorts.

“Xandari Pearl Resorts
has consistently contributed to our income through this collaboration. Due care
has been taken by one and all in the production centers in executing every
purchase order. We value this continued association and look forward to
strengthening it further,” added Anuradha, a representative of Kudumbashree. 

Together, Xandari
Resorts and Kudumbashree have shown that when hospitality and grassroots
enterprise align, the impact extends far beyond business, strengthening
families, communities, and local economies. As the partnership enters its
eighth year, Xandari Pearl reaffirms its commitment to expanding local sourcing
initiatives and deepening its engagement with women-led enterprises in the
region.

<title>Thousands of Devotees Trust Manchala Mushafir for Their Char Dham Yatra 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, March 9 : As preparations for the upcoming Char Dham Yatra 2026
gather momentum, travel planners and pilgrimage organisers across the country
are witnessing a steady rise in enquiries from devotees planning the sacred
Himalayan journey.

The
Char Dham Yatra, considered one of the most revered pilgrimages in Hindu
tradition, involves visiting the four high-altitude shrines of Yamunotri
Temple, Gangotri Temple, Kedarnath Temple, and Badrinath Temple, located in
the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand.

Every
year, lakhs of devotees from across India undertake the pilgrimage during the
limited seasonal window when the temples remain open. With the increasing
number of pilgrims travelling to the Himalayan shrines, the role of organised
travel assistance has grown significantly in recent years.

Travel
companies specialising in pilgrimage routes report that more devotees are
choosing structured travel plans to manage the complex logistics associated
with the journey.

Among
such travel organisers, Manchala Mushafir Pvt Ltd has
emerged as a familiar name among pilgrims preparing for the Char Dham Yatra
2026, according to industry observers.

Rising
Demand for Organised Pilgrimage Travel

The
Char Dham Yatra requires careful planning due to the challenging terrain and
high-altitude locations involved in the route. Pilgrims often travel through
several mountain towns and remote regions before reaching the temples.

The
pilgrimage traditionally begins with Yamunotri, followed by Gangotri, Kedarnath
and finally Badrinath, covering hundreds of kilometres across Uttarakhand’s
mountainous landscape.

Experts
in pilgrimage tourism note that the journey involves multiple logistical
considerations, including road travel through hilly terrain, accommodation in
limited-capacity towns, and compliance with government registration
requirements.

As a
result, many devotees now prefer organised travel arrangements that provide
structured itineraries and logistical support during the pilgrimage.

Industry
participants say this trend has become more visible in recent years as the
number of Char Dham pilgrims continues to increase.

Kedarnath
Trek Remains a Key Challenge

One
of the most demanding segments of the pilgrimage is the trek leading to Kedarnath Temple,
situated at an altitude of more than 11,000 feet in the Himalayas.

Pilgrims
must undertake a trek of around 16 kilometres from Gaurikund to reach the
temple. Though facilities such as pony rides, palanquins and helicopter
services are available, a large number of devotees still complete the trek on
foot.

Weather
conditions and altitude can make the journey physically demanding, particularly
for elderly pilgrims.

Travel
planners and local authorities often advise visitors to prepare adequately for
the trek and allow sufficient time for acclimatisation during the pilgrimage.

Due
to these challenges, experienced logistical support has become an important
aspect of pilgrimage travel.

Increasing
Interest in Char Dham Yatra 2026

With
the next pilgrimage season approaching, travel operators report that early
enquiries for the Char Dham Yatra 2026 have already begun.

Devotees
planning the pilgrimage typically begin preparations months in advance,
arranging transportation, accommodation and mandatory registrations required by
the Uttarakhand government.

According
to travel industry observers, early planning helps pilgrims secure better
travel schedules and avoid last-minute availability issues in peak pilgrimage
months.

Many
pilgrims are also paying greater attention to safety arrangements and travel
coordination while choosing their pilgrimage plans.

Companies
involved in organising Himalayan pilgrimage tours have responded by offering structured
itineraries aimed at simplifying the travel process.

Role
of Travel Organizers in Pilgrimage Management

The
growing scale of the Char Dham Yatra has gradually transformed the way pilgrims
approach the journey. Earlier, many devotees planned their trips independently
with limited travel assistance.

However,
the increasing number of pilgrims and improved road infrastructure have led to
a rise in organised pilgrimage travel services.

Travel
companies specialising in Char Dham tours often assist with transportation
arrangements, accommodation bookings and guidance throughout the pilgrimage
route.

Industry
observers say the demand for such services reflects a broader trend in
pilgrimage tourism where travellers seek convenience and coordination during
long-distance religious journeys.

Within
this landscape, companies like Manchala Mushafir Pvt Ltd have been
expanding their presence by focusing primarily on Himalayan pilgrimage travel.

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Every year, lakhs of devotees from across India undertake the pilgrimage during the limited seasonal window when the temples remain open.

<title>The Investor Mindset: Strategy, Service, and Scale | Ft. Rohan Sheth on Brand Ki Baat&amp; Mumbai Edition</title>

<description><![CDATA[ NewsReach
brings you unfiltered stories from professionals shaping the world of branding
on Brand Ki Baat.

The
success of commercial buildings is rarely accidental. Behind every thriving
commercial property lies a complex ecosystem of investors, tenants, developers,
and advisors working together to unlock value. In a city like Mumbai where real
estate presents both opportunity and challenge, success is determined not just
by location or capital, but by the ability to understand problems and solve
them effectively.

The
commercial real estate landscape demands strategy, trust, and long-term
thinking. Identifying the right tenant and ensuring smooth operations are
crucial for protecting and enhancing investor value.

Welcome
to Crafting Bharat: Brand Ki Baat – Mumbai Edition, a podcast where we
talk about brands, businesses and the people who build them from the inside
out. In this engaging episode, host Kartik Chawla sits down with Rohan
Sheth, Founder at Real Estate Advisory Firm Volney; for a conversation on
building an investor focused model in commercial real estate, solving landlord
challenges, and the evolving priorities of corporates choosing office spaces.

This series is proudly brought to you by NewsReach, India’s
leading PR-tech platform, with Production Partner HT Smartcast; Gifting Partner
Nanaji Natural and Beauty Partner Lakme Academy. Tune in for stories, insights,
and inspiration!

Edited Excerpts

How
did you come up with Volney and develop an investor-oriented real estate model?

Rohan
Sheth: I had worked with developers and real estate
companies for nearly a decade and a half, so I was already familiar with the
ecosystem. However, things changed when I faced a personal challenge.

I
owned a small office space at the Trade Center, and it took me almost six to
eight months to lease it out. That’s when I realized that if someone from the
industry like me could take this long, it must be even harder for investors who
do not fully understand how the real estate ecosystem works.

That
realization led to the idea of creating an investor network model. Instead of
approaching the market with just one small office, we decided to approach it
collectively. I told other investors that instead of each of us offering a
1,000-square-foot office individually, we could combine our inventory and
represent nearly half a million square feet together. Once you bring scale, the
market begins to respond differently.

That
strategy gradually evolved into Volney, which today manages nearly 2.7
million square feet of commercial real estate across multiple projects in
Mumbai.

What
differentiates Volney in a highly competitive, brokerage-driven market?

Rohan
Sheth: There are already several large international
commercial real estate brokerage firms in the market, along with thousands of
smaller brokers. Instead of competing directly with them, we decided to find a
gap in the ecosystem.

Major
IPC companies like JLL, CBRE, Knight Frank, and Colliers are well
established, and there are countless local brokers as well. We identified a
niche in between and positioned ourselves as an investor network model.

We
represent landlords and investors while also collaborating with both
international and domestic brokers. More importantly, we take responsibility
for managing the entire leasing process.

In
many ways, we act as wealth managers for real estate assets. Our team is
present within the building and oversees everything from tenant identification
to maintenance and tenant requests. This allows landlords to sit anywhere in
the world and remain confident that their asset is being professionally
managed.

What
factors do multinational companies consider today when selecting office spaces?

Rohan
Sheth: Employee convenience has become one of the
most important priorities. Companies prefer office spaces that are well
connected through transportation and located within strong urban ecosystems.

Accessibility
plays a key role. Corporates evaluate whether the office is close to railway
stations, metro stations, or major roads. Along with connectivity, they also
assess the surrounding infrastructure and safety levels.

We
often receive extensive EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) checklists
focused on employee well-being. Buildings must comply with fire safety
standards, emergency protocols, and even staff training requirements.

Workplace
design has also become a major factor. Offices are no longer viewed merely as
places to work. Companies want breakout areas, large cafeterias, natural
lighting, and spaces where employees genuinely enjoy spending time.

Since
employees spend nearly a third of their day at the workplace, organizations are
increasingly investing in environments that enhance both productivity and
well-being.

What
is Volney’s long- ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru :
Puravankara Group (NSE: PURVA | BSE: 532891), one of India’s leading real
estate developers, has entered into the joint development of a 4-acre land
parcel on Hennur Road in Bengaluru, with an estimated gross development value
(GDV) of over Rs 1,300 crore. The acquisition aligns with the company’s
strategic vision to expand its footprint in key Bengaluru micro-markets that
offer robust infrastructure, strong connectivity, and sustained residential
demand.

Commenting
on the development, Ashish Puravankara, Managing Director, Puravankara
Limited, said, “Bengaluru continues to be one of India’s most resilient
and fastest-growing residential markets, supported by strong employment growth,
infrastructure investments, and sustained housing demand. Within the city,
North Bengaluru has emerged as a key growth corridor, driven by its proximity
to Kempegowda International Airport, expanding tech parks, and improving
connectivity. Hennur Road, in particular, has seen steady traction from
homebuyers due to its access to employment hubs and well-developed social
infrastructure. This joint development aligns with our strategy of expanding
through asset-light partnerships in high-potential micro-markets while
delivering thoughtfully designed homes that cater to evolving urban
lifestyles.”



The land parcel offers a total saleable area
of approximately 0.84 million square feet. Located on Hennur Road in Bengaluru,
the site benefits from steady demand, driven by its proximity to major tech
parks and well-established social and physical infrastructure.



Mallanna Sasalu, CEO - South, Puravankara Limited,
added, “This project reflects our continued focus on expanding our presence
across high-demand residential corridors in Bengaluru through capital-efficient
partnerships. With steady demand in the micro-market, we are confident the
project will see strong buyer interest. We expect to bring it to market within
the next 6–12 months and believe it will further strengthen our Bengaluru
portfolio.

Earlier this year, we strengthened our Bengaluru growth pipeline
through several strategic acquisitions. These include a 53.5-acre land parcel
in Anekal Taluka, with a development potential of 6.4 million sq. ft. and an
estimated GDV of over Rs 4,800 crore. We are also developing a 24.59-acre parcel
at KIADB Hardware Park in North Bengaluru, in partnership with KVN Property
Holdings LLP, with a development potential of 3.48 million sq. ft. and a GDV of
over Rs 3,300 crore. In addition, we have undertaken a 5.5-acre joint

<title>Krasha Plans To Launch USD 70Mn Category&amp;II Multi&amp;Asset Fund</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, India, 09th March 2026 : Private Markets
Investment and Advisory firm Krasha is preparing to apply for registration of
its first Category-II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) in Q2 of FY2026-27 as
it looks to expand its presence across India’s asset management ecosystem.

The
proposed vehicle, internally referred to as the Prism Strategy, is expected to
target a corpus of about $60 million to $70 million, subject to regulatory
approvals and investor participation, according to people familiar with the
development.

The
fund is being conceptualised as a multi-asset private markets vehicle with the
flexibility to invest across private credit, private equity, real assets and
select opportunistic liquid or secondary transactions. The planned launch comes
at a time when investor interest in private markets continues to expand in
India. 

Krasha
unveiled Kyte Money in 2025, a digital neo-financing platform focused on
asset-backed structured finance transactions. The platform was launched with
the aim of broadening access to curated private credit opportunities for
individual investors. The platform has facilitated over ₹120 crore in
investments within its first year of operations.

People
aware of the matter said the proposed fund structure would allow the firm to
pursue opportunities across different segments of private markets rather than
operating within a single asset class.

Speaking
on the development, Avdesh Singh, CFO at Krasha, said the firm is evaluating a
flexible investment approach while maintaining disciplined underwriting
standards.

“We
are looking to launch a Category-II multi-asset opportunity fund in FY27. The
Prism Strategy is designed as a single platform that can invest across sectors
and instruments to generate alpha for our clients while maintaining disciplined
underwriting standards,” he said.

The
team at Krasha draws strength from its immense cumulative know-how of closing
more than US$1.5 billion in private market investments across equity &amp; debt
transactions.

Krasha
recently facilitated ₹32 crore into an upcoming five-star resort project near
the Delhi–Mumbai corridor through Kyte Money. The project is currently in its
early phase of construction and forms part of the firm’s broader real estate
credit strategy.

A
diverse group of participants including bankers, financial services
professionals, lawyers and high-net-worth individuals took part in the
transaction through Kyte Money, reflecting growing investor interest in curated
private market opportunities beyond traditional public markets.

The
proposed AIF would represent Krasha’s next step toward institutionalising its
investment activities under a regulated fund framework. The launch of the fund
will remain subject to regulatory approvals and compliance with SEBI
regulations governing Alternative Investment Funds.

About
Krasha

Founded
in 2023, Krasha operates in the fixed income and private credit markets,
facilitating investment opportunities for family offices, HNIs and corporates
across sectors such as real estate and energy. Over the past year, the firm has
participated in and facilitated transactions with an aggregate value of over
$150 million.

Krasha
also operates Kyte Money, a digital wealth platform aimed at expanding access
to alternative investments for Indian Investors. ]]></description>

<title>Kisna Diamond and Gold Jewellery changes its name to ‘Radha Diamond and Gold Jewellery’ for a day to honour womanhood on Women’s Day</title>

<description><![CDATA[ National,
March 9, 2026 : On the occasion of International Women’s Day,
Kisna Diamond and Gold Jewellery 
chose to mark the moment with a thoughtful and innovative tribute to
womanhood, changing its name to ‘Radha Diamond and Gold Jewellery’ for a
day  in honour of the strength,
compassion, grace and resilience that women embody.

The
name Radha was invoked as a timeless expression of feminine strength,
dignity and nurturing power. It reflects the quiet courage, empathy and
steadfast presence that women bring to families, communities and society.
Through this gesture, the brand paid homage to women, whose influence continues
to inspire and shape lives.

To
achieve this remarkable and never seen before initiative, Kisna showrooms took
a distinctive Radha-themed look on March 8, visually bringing to life the
spirit of wisdom, strength and grace that Radha symbolises. This transformation
marked the beginning of an integrated campaign spanning print, retail, and
digital touchpoints, with the womanhood identity reflected across brand
communication as well as in-store expressions. Across locations, Kisna hosted
Women’s Day engagements dedicated to honouring women and acknowledging their
invaluable role in everyday life. Reflecting this sentiment internally, store
teams wore name badges recognizing the most important woman in their lives,
paying tribute to the mothers, daughters, sisters, partners, and mentors who
guide and inspire them.

Speaking
about the initiative, Ghanshyam Dholakia, Founder &amp; Managing Director,
Hari Krishna Group and KISNA Diamond and Gold Jewellery, said, “Women shape
our lives in the most profound ways, often guiding families, relationships and
communities with quiet strength and grace. By changing our name to Radha
Diamond and Gold Jewellery, we wanted to create a meaningful gesture that
honours the spirit of womanhood and acknowledges the countless women who
inspire us every day.”

Through
this initiative, Kisna sought to move beyond conventional Women’s Day
celebrations, offering a gesture that acknowledges the enduring strength,
compassion and influence of women. By embracing the name Radha for a day, the
brand reinforced its commitment to recognising the women whose presence shapes
families, communities and everyday moments of life.

The
campaign was well received and appreciated by all across the nation through
social media and at the store.

Over 4000 Runners Turned Up for Sustainability-Themed Marathon at Mindspace
Airoli East

Navi
Mumbai, March 09th, 2026 : Mumbai saw an
early-morning surge of energy and purpose as over 4000 runners took part
in the Mindspace EcoRun 2.0, held on Sunday at Mindspace Airoli East,
Navi Mumbai. Back for the second consecutive year and organised by
Mindspace REIT in association with Mirchi, the event blended a
city-scale running experience with a strong sustainability focus, drawing
participation from seasoned runners, first-timers, families, and corporate
teams. The event atmosphere was further amplified as Mirchi RJ Prerna hosted
the run alongside celebrities who attended and flagged it off. The star cast of
Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 - Avinash Tiwary and Medha Shankr, also promoted the film’s
first track, “Chhaap Tilak,” ahead of its April 24, 2026 release. The event
also saw the presence of actress Daisy Shah, who joined the celebration of
fitness and sustainability.

Runners
participated in 5 KM, 10 KM, and 21 KM categories, the 21 KM Half
Marathon and 10 KM categories witnessed enthusiastic participation from aged 18
years and above, while the 5 KM run welcomed individuals aged 8 years and
above, making the event an inclusive celebration of fitness and community
spirit across age groups while building a strong community turnout across
Mumbai’s workplace and neighbourhood ecosystem. The event featured
category-wise prizes of ₹20,000, ₹14,000, and ₹10,000 for the 21
KM Half Marathon and ₹14,000, ₹12,000, and ₹8,000 for the 10K.

Designed
around a planet-friendly experience, the Mindspace EcoRun 2.0 featured eco-conscious
race kits such as plantable bibs, organic jerseys, refillable hydration
stations and biodegradable cutlery for breakfast, aimed at reducing
single-use consumption across the event and other waste management practices.

Speaking
about the second edition, Ramesh Nair, CEO &amp; MD, Mindspace REIT said,
“The Mindspace EcoRun is a reflection of our belief that workplaces can be
powerful catalysts for positive change, not just for business, but for
communities and the planet. Seeing over 4000runners come together at Airoli
East, united by a shared commitment to fitness and sustainability, is
incredibly inspiring.”

With
its second edition, Mindspace EcoRun continues to strengthen Mumbai’s growing
movement toward mindful living, community wellness, and sustainability-led
action. A key highlight this year is that the event waste collected will be
upcycled into functional chairs and donated to school children supported
by partner NGOs. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
Maharashtra – 07th March 2026 : In a
continued effort to build inclusive and future-ready living ecosystems, Paranjape Schemes Construction
Private Limited, Maharashtra’s leading real estate developer
has announced a collaboration with Tarangan Foundation. This strategic
partnership for Swaniketan, India’s first exclusive residential community
designed specifically for differently-abled individuals and their families will
ensure structured assessment process and long-term care.

Developed
under the Paranjape Special Projects Division (PSPD), Swaniketan has been
conceptualised as a long-term home where families can live with dignity,
security, and community support. The project integrates thoughtfully designed
family units and assisted hostel facilities, along with structured common
infrastructure, including a Vocational Centre, Therapy Spaces, a Day Care
Centre, recreational amenities, and dedicated caregiver support on each floor.

As
part of this initiative, Tarangan Foundation will anchor the structured
screening and assessment process for families seeking to be part of the
community. The screening framework includes detailed health and psychosocial
assessments, family consultations, financial preparedness evaluation, and legal
planning measures to ensure long-term continuity of care through private trusts
and structured succession planning.

Amit
Paranjape, Director – Business Development, Paranjape Schemes Construction
Private Limited, said: “Swaniketan is envisioned not just as a
residential community, but as a secure, lifelong ecosystem for
differently-abled individuals and their families. A robust assessment and
screening process including understanding each individual’s care needs, support
requirements, and long-term financial preparedness is essential to ensure that
residents can be supported sustainably over time. Our collaboration with
Tarangan Foundation brings specialised expertise in evaluation and care
planning, helping ensure that every family entering Swaniketan is aligned with
its purpose and equipped for lifelong support, dignity, and continuity of
care.”

Beena
Modak  - Director of Tarangan Foundation added:
For many parents of individuals with developmental needs, the most pressing
concern is ‘what after us.’ Swaniketan, pioneered by Paranjape Schemes, is
giving families a path forward by creating a purpose-built, secure community
designed for lifelong support. Our partnership allows us to work closely with
families through structured assessments, guidance, and care planning, ensuring
residents are prepared not just for today, but for a stable and dignified
future. Together, we are helping build an ecosystem that brings reassurance,
continuity, and renewed hope to families.

This
collaboration marks a critical step in strengthening Swaniketan’s care-led
ecosystem by integrating rigorous assessment, professional support, and
long-term continuity planning within a purpose-built residential environment.
It reinforces Swaniketan’s vision of creating not just housing, but a secure
and sustainable future for differently-abled individuals and their families.
Reflecting the strong and deeply felt need for such a model, over 200 families
have already undergone structured screening, with more than 75 families
shortlisted in the first phase ahead of launch—underscoring Swaniketan’s
emergence as a pioneering and much-needed solution for inclusive, lifelong
community living in India.

<title>CREDAI Surat Women’s Wing Strengthens Community Initiatives and Women’s Leadership in Real Estate</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Surat:
As the world marks International Women’s Day, the CREDAI Surat
Women’s Wing (CWW) stands as a strong example of how women are contributing
to both the real estate sector and community welfare. Established two years ago
for the first time in the history of CREDAI Surat, the Women’s Wing
reflects the organization’s commitment to inclusivity, empowerment, and
encouraging women’s participation in the construction and real estate
ecosystem.

The Women’s Wing
functions through a core committee of 15 members, actively working on
initiatives that support communities while also promoting leadership
opportunities for women associated with the industry. Over the past two years,
the group has participated in several social, welfare, and awareness
activities that benefit construction workers and underprivileged
communities.

Among
its key initiatives are medical check-up camps for labourers and local
communities, helping provide access to essential healthcare and health
awareness. The Women’s Wing has also organized grocery distribution drives
for economically weaker families and conducted special health camps for
pregnant women, focusing on maternal health and well-being.

Another
important focus area has been the children of construction workers. The
Women’s Wing regularly organizes engaging and educational activities at
construction sites belonging to CREDAI Surat members, creating a supportive
environment for workers’ families and encouraging children’s participation in
learning activities.

Beyond
social initiatives, the Women’s Wing is also encouraging greater
participation of women in the real estate sector, which has traditionally
been male-dominated. The group motivates builders’ wives and daughters to
explore professional opportunities in areas such as architecture, design,
planning, and real estate management, helping open new avenues for women in the
industry.

The
Women’s Wing operates under the leadership of Convenor Ekta Savani and Co-Convenor
Moxa Mistry, who guide its vision and initiatives. To ensure effective
functioning, the wing has formed dedicated committees responsible for different
areas of activity.

The
CSR (Social &amp; Health) Committee, led by Chairperson Sona Chauhan,
along with members Aditi and Nimisha, focuses on community
welfare and health-related initiatives.

The
Sports Committee, headed by Chairperson Siddhi Barwaliya with
members Dipika Patel and Sonal Nakrani, promotes sports, fitness,
and engagement activities among members.

The
Programme Committee, chaired by Riddhi Barvaliya with members Hetal,
Siddhi, and Charmy, is responsible for organizing and executing events and
special programs conducted by the Women’s Wing.

The
Seminar Committee, led by Chairperson Vinanti Joriwala along with
members Hasti Motisariya and Hetvi Patel, organizes seminars,
workshops, and knowledge-sharing sessions aimed at professional growth and
awareness.

Through
this structured leadership and committee framework, the CREDAI Surat Women’s
Wing has emerged as an important platform for women’s empowerment,
community engagement, and industry participation. As the organization
continues to expand its. ]]></description>

<title>Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth launches School of Kalayoga &amp; a music school in Baner, Pune</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
March 07, 2026 : Known for its rich cultural heritage, Pune
witnessed opening of Chinmaya Vishwa Vidhyapeeth’s School of Kalayoga on
Friday, March 6 at Baner. The facility was inaugurated at the hands of Pujya
Swami Swaroopananda, Head of Chinmaya Mission and Chancellor of Chinimaya
Vishwa Vidyapeeth.

The
Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth is a truly unique institution where the timeless
Guru–Śiṣya Paramparā flourishes within a modern university framework. The newly
inaugurated School of Kalayoga at Baner will offer a rare and enriching
opportunity to learn Indian Classical Music in the Gurukul tradition, while
simultaneously earning a recognized university degree.

Speaking
on the occassion, Pramodini Rao, Director, Chinmaya Naada Bindu in Pune and
Head of School of Kalayoga, said, “India is known for its ancient wisdom and
knowledge systems. Connecting to our roots is certainly advantageous, as there
is so much experiential learning that is available, if only we were to seek
it.  As per Swami Tejomayananda, the
purpose of music is to elevate the arts, artists and audience to a higher level.
Music education should also focus on this aspect rather than just to cater to
honing musical skills.”

The
School of Kalayoga will offer a four year undergraduate program (BA Hons in
Music), a two year postgraduate program (MA in Music), and a doctoral program
(PhD in Music). The undergraduate and postgraduate programs will specialise in
Hindustani Vocal, Bansuri and Tabla. The doctoral program will be focused on
advanced research in performance, pedagogy, musicology, and Indian knowledge
systems.

All
the programs offered by the School of Kalaygoa emphaise on deep, immersive, and
personalized musical training. The systematic academic structure and research
orientation is great add on.

One
of the most distinctive features of the School of Kalayoga is its two-layer
teaching system which involves a Guru and assistant professors. The Guru is the
primary mentor guiding students in the traditional, experiential mode of
transmission. The assistant professors focus on teaching, supporting academic,
theoretical, and research-based learning. The dual approach ensures holistic
growth — combining embodied musical knowledge, rigorous practice (riyāz),
theoretical understanding, and research competence.

At
the School of Kalayoga, music is not merely a subject — it is a sādhana, a way
of life. The students are immersed in a rich cultural environment filled with

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Pune, March 07, 2026 : </span></b><span lang="EN">Known for its rich cultural heritage, Pune witnessed opening of Chinmaya Vishwa Vidhyapeeth’s School of Kalayoga on Friday, March 6 at Baner. The facility was inaugurated at the hands of Pujya Swami Swaroopananda, Head of Chinmaya Mission and Chancellor of Chinimaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth is a truly unique institution where the timeless Guru–Śiṣya Paramparā flourishes within a modern university framework. The newly inaugurated School of Kalayoga at Baner will offer a rare and enriching opportunity to learn Indian Classical Music in the Gurukul tradition, while simultaneously earning a recognized university degree.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Speaking on the occassion, Pramodini Rao, Director, Chinmaya Naada Bindu in Pune and Head of School of Kalayoga, said, “India is known for its ancient wisdom and knowledge systems. Connecting to our roots is certainly advantageous, as there is so much experiential learning that is available, if only we were to seek it.<span>  </span>As per Swami Tejomayananda, the purpose of music is to elevate the arts, artists and audience to a higher level. Music education should also focus on this aspect rather than just to cater to honing musical skills.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The School of Kalayoga will offer a four year undergraduate program (BA Hons in Music), a two year postgraduate program (MA in Music), and a doctoral program (PhD in Music). The undergraduate and postgraduate programs will specialise in Hindustani Vocal, Bansuri and Tabla. The doctoral program will be focused on advanced research in performance, pedagogy, musicology, and Indian knowledge systems.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">All the programs offered by the School of Kalaygoa emphaise on deep, immersive, and personalized musical training. The systematic academic structure and research orientation is great add on.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">One of the most distinctive features of the School of Kalayoga is its two-layer teaching system which involves a Guru and assistant professors. The Guru is the primary mentor guiding students in the traditional, experiential mode of transmission. The assistant professors focus on teaching, supporting academic, theoretical, and research-based learning. The dual approach ensures holistic growth — combining embodied musical knowledge, rigorous practice (riyāz), theoretical understanding, and research competence.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">At the School of Kalayoga, music is not merely a subject — it is a sādhana, a way of life. The students are immersed in a rich cultural environment filled with concerts, baithaks, festivals, and scholarly interactions.</span></p>

<title>PARIKH GROUP LAUNCHES ‘PLATINUM PARK – JOURNEY TO BIG LIVING’ IN VIRAR WEST; HOSTS INDUSTRY PANEL ON BUYER BEHAVIOUR IN VASAI–VIRAR</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
06 March 2026 : Parikh Group
has launched its latest residential development, Platinum Park, in Virar
West, marking the occasion with the unveiling of the project’s sample flat in
the presence of over 500 channel partners.

The
launch was complemented by a focused industry panel discussion titled “Buyer
Behaviour in Vasai–Virar: The Next Growth Chapter”, positioning the event
as both a project showcase and a broader dialogue on the structural shifts
shaping demand in the extended western suburbs.

Platinum
Park offers thoughtfully planned 1 and 2-BHK residences designed around layout
efficiency and practical pricing, catering primarily to the region’s growing
end-user base. The project reflects sustained housing absorption in Virar West,
driven by established rail connectivity, ongoing infrastructure upgrades and
relative affordability compared to core suburban markets.

The
sample flat showcase enabled channel partners to assess planning optimization,
usable carpet areas and overall product-market alignment. The participation of
over 500 channel partners underscored continued engagement within the
micro-market and early confidence in the development.

The
“Walk the Plan” showcase enabled channel partners to physically
experience the apartment layouts at scale, allowing them to assess planning
efficiency, usable carpet areas and spatial flow firsthand. By walking through
the marked floor layouts, attendees were able to better understand the
configuration and functionality of the homes, offering a practical perspective
on the project’s design approach. The participation of over 500 channel
partners underscored continued engagement within the micro-market and early
confidence in the development.

Industry
Panel: Mapping the Next Growth Phase

The
panel discussion highlighted key structural trends redefining the Vasai–Virar
residential ecosystem, including:

●       
A decisive shift from speculative buying
toward long-term end-use ownership

●       
Strong and consistent demand for efficiently
configured 1 &amp; 2 BHK residences

●       
Increasing buyer scrutiny around layout optimization,
space utility and liveability

●       
Stabilizing suburban absorption patterns
supported by infrastructure momentum

The
discussion reinforced the view that Virar West is gradually transitioning from
being perceived purely as an affordability destination to emerging as a
structured and infrastructure-backed residential growth corridor.

Speaking
at the launch, Dhruv Parikh, Director, Parikh Group, said, “Markets
like Vasai–Virar are no longer defined solely by price. We are witnessing more
informed buyers who evaluate connectivity, space efficiency and long-term
usability before making decisions. Platinum Park has been conceptualized in
response to these evolving expectations. Sustainable growth in suburban markets
comes from aligning product strategy with genuine end-user demand. The scale of
participation at this event reflects both trade confidence and the region’s
continued momentum.”

As
Virar West enters its next phase of residential evolution, Platinum Park
reflects Parikh Group’s calibrated approach to suburban development, aligning
product planning, pricing discipline and long-term demand fundamentals with
infrastructure-led growth.

About
Parikh Group

Founded
by Pankaj Parikh, Parikh Group is a Mumbai-based real estate developer
with over three decades of experience in residential construction and
development across suburban Mumbai. The Group has delivered more than 28

<description><![CDATA[ In the global luxury ecosystem, visibility has
long been currency. Scale, recognisable branding, and international retail
footprints traditionally signal legitimacy. Yet, a quiet countercurrent is
gaining strength. Discretion is emerging as the new status symbol.

Mumbai-based Ehsa
Fine Jewellery enters
this landscape with a deliberate refusal to participate in conventional luxury
expansion. Founded by Aakash Mehta, the invite-only fine jewellery atelier is
positioning itself not as a retail brand, but as a private high-jewellery house
rooted in generational Indian craftsmanship.

From Scale to Scarcity

Global luxury has evolved dramatically over
the past decade. Large conglomerates have standardised craftsmanship,
globalised distribution, and accelerated production timelines to meet demand.
While this model has expanded accessibility, it has also created a saturation
of visibility.

Ehsa’s strategy moves in the opposite
direction.

Operating through private referrals and
curated introductions, the brand produces limited commissioned pieces rather
than seasonal collections. There is no public pricing, no mass marketing, and
no overt retail presence. This scarcity model mirrors the private-atelier
approach historically associated with European high jewellery houses, but
contextualised within Indian artisanal traditions.

For Mehta, the philosophy is simple: “If a
piece commands significance, it must carry individuality. It should never feel
replaceable.”

Reclaiming Indian Craft as Global Luxury

India has long been central to the global
jewellery supply chain, from diamond cutting to gold craftsmanship. Yet Indian
artistry has often been positioned as manufacturing strength rather than brand
equity.

Ehsa’s larger ambition is to recalibrate that
narrative.

By foregrounding generational techniques such
as Polki, Kundan, and intricate hand-setting within a restrained,
heirloom-driven framework, the brand seeks to elevate Indian craftsmanship from
production capability to cultural capital.

Rather than reinterpret tradition into
contemporary minimalism for Western markets, Ehsa retains the depth and
architectural richness of Indian jewellery, presenting it as timeless rather
than ethnic.

This is a subtle but strategic distinction. It
positions Indian design heritage not as occasion-wear, but as collectible high
jewellery.

The Invite-Only Advantage

Exclusivity has always been foundational to
high jewellery. However, in an era where luxury is amplified through social media,
discretion has become rare.

Ehsa’s invite-only model directly addresses
this shift. By limiting access and emphasising private consultations, the brand
aligns itself with ultra-high-net-worth clients who increasingly value privacy
over visibility.

The model also allows for greater design
autonomy. Without the pressure of seasonal launches or trend cycles, production
timelines are extended. Craftsmanship becomes the focal point rather than
market velocity.

In global terms, this aligns with a growing appetite
for slow luxury and bespoke acquisition among collectors who seek distinction
rather than recognisability.

Founder as Custodian

Aakash Mehta positions himself less as a
conventional entrepreneur and more as a custodian of lineage. His messaging
consistently centres artisanship over expansion.

“We are not building for volume,” he notes.
“We are building for inheritance.”

This framing is strategic. In the
high-jewellery segment, founder narrative often influences brand equity. By
emphasising generational craftsmanship and cultural preservation, Mehta
situates Ehsa within a heritage-led luxury narrative rather than a startup
growth story.

Global Relevance Without Global Noise

The question remains whether a brand rooted in
discretion can compete in a globalised luxury environment driven by scale.

The answer may lie in shifting definitions of
relevance.

For emerging luxury consumers in markets such
as the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and parts of Europe, there is increasing
interest in culturally rooted high jewellery that carries authenticity. Indian
craftsmanship, when positioned at a premium tier rather than a celebratory
niche, holds significant potential.

Ehsa’s long-term opportunity may not be retail
expansion but international private showcases, trunk exhibitions, and
cross-border collector relationships. A controlled global presence, rather than
rapid globalisation.

A Quiet Repositioning of Indian Luxury

What distinguishes Ehsa is not merely its
craftsmanship but its strategic restraint.

At a time when luxury brands compete for
digital dominance, Ehsa is building a business model around absence. Limited
access. Limited production. Limited visibility.

If successful, it could signal a broader shift
in how Indian fine jewellery is perceived globally, not as ornate tradition,
but as collectible, hei ]]></description>

<title>Kissht Partners with Scrapshala for Eco Friendly Holi Colours</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/kissht-partners-with-scrapshala-for-eco-friendly-holi-colours</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai :
Digital lending platform Kissht celebrated Holi this year with a meaningful
blend of sustainability and community engagement through its festive
initiative, “Zindagi Ke Rang, Kissht Ke Sang.” As part of the campaign, Kissht
partnered with sustainability focused social enterprise Scrapshala to source
eco friendly, plant based Holi colours that were distributed to customers
across the company’s Loan Against Property (LAP) branch network.

The
initiative combined festive celebration with environmental consciousness.
Employees across Kissht’s LAP branches distributed the natural colours to
customers as a gesture of appreciation and festive goodwill, extending the
spirit of Holi beyond the workplace and into the communities the company
serves.

Kissht’s Loan Against Property
(LAP) network plays a key role in the company’s secured lending strategy. The
platform launched its digital Loan Against Property offering to provide
customers and small business owners access to larger ticket credit backed by
residential, commercial, or plot properties, with faster approvals enabled by
technology driven verification processes.

Unlike
traditional mortgage lending, the digital first model simplifies the process
with minimal documentation and faster turnaround times, allowing borrowers to
unlock the value of their property while continuing to retain ownership. The
offering is designed to support a range of financial needs including business
expansion, working capital requirements, education, medical expenses, or other
major life milestones.

With
its growing LAP branch network, Kissht aims to bring this secured lending
product closer to customers across key markets while combining digital
underwriting with on ground support and customer engagement.

The
collaboration also reflects the broader philosophy of the Kissht founders, who
have consistently emphasised building a fintech platform that balances
innovation with responsibility and community engagement. By partnering with
organisations that promote sustainable practices and artisan livelihoods, the
Kissht founders aim to ensure that celebrations also create meaningful social
impact.

Scrapshala,
a Varanasi based social enterprise, is known for its work in sustainability and
circular design. The organisation focuses on upcycling materials and creating
environmentally conscious products while supporting artisan communities,
particularly women artisans. Its natural Holi colours are handcrafted using
plant based ingredients rooted in traditional Indian practices, offering a safe
and eco friendly alternative to chemical based colours.

Speaking
about the collaboration, Shikha Shah, Founder of Scrapshala, said:

“At
Scrapshala, we have always believed that celebrations can be joyful without
harming the planet. Our natural Holi colors are rooted in Indian tradition,
handcrafted with care, and made using plant based ingredients that are safe for
both people and the environment.

We
are delighted to collaborate with Kissht for their Holi activation, ‘Zindagi Ke
Rang Kissht Ke Sang.’ Through this initiative, every pack of eco friendly
gulaal distributed is not just adding color to someone’s celebration but also
supporting women artisans, promoting conscious consumption, and reducing
chemical pollution.

When
responsible brands come together, festivals become more meaningful for communities,
for customers, and for the planet.”

Through
the campaign, Kissht aimed to bring together festive joy and sustainability
while strengthening connections with its customers. By distributing eco
friendly colours sourced from Scrapshala, the initiative highlighted the
importance of conscious choices during festivals that traditionally see
widespread use of chemical based colours.

The
campaign also reflects a growing emphasis within the organisation on
integrating social responsibility into customer engagement initiatives. The
Kissht founders have frequently highlighted the importance of building a
financial services platform that is not only technologically advanced but also
mindful of its broader impact on communities and the environment.

For
customers visiting Kissht’s LAP branches during the festive period, the
initiative added an unexpected and thoughtful element to the Holi celebrations.
The eco friendly colours served both as a festive gesture and as a reminder
that celebrations can be vibrant while still being environmentally responsible.

By
partnering with Scrapshala, Kissht also contributed to supporting artisan
livelihoods and promoting sustainable production practices. The colours used in
the campaign are handcrafted by artisan communities, creating economic
opportunities while encouraging environmentally conscious consumption.

As
India’s fintech ecosystem continues to grow, the Kissht founders remain focused
on building a platform that combines technology, responsible lending,  ]]></description>

<title>From Niche to Mainstream: Formula 1’s Growing Fan Culture in India Fuels FanCode’s Rapid Growth</title>

<description><![CDATA[ FanCode’s rapid rise reflects the surging popularity of
Formula 1 in India. The platform has doubled its user base from 100 million in
2024 to over 200 million today, a sharp indicator of Indian fans’ growing
appetite for premium global sporting action, particularly the high-octane world
of F1.

Follow all the action from Formula 1 LIVE!

The sport’s footprint in India has expanded just as
dramatically. Formula 1 fandom has grown from 60 million in 2024 to 78.8
million in 2026, underlining its evolution from a niche interest to one of the
country’s fastest-growing sports properties. This momentum was at the heart of
a candid conversation between Yannick Colaco, Co-Founder of FanCode, and
popular broadcaster Hrishi K (The Radio OG).

The discussion explored the rise of Formula 1’s fan
culture in India and the pivotal role digital platforms are playing in
accelerating that growth. Colaco highlighted the remarkable spike in
engagement, from packed watch parties to thriving online communities dissecting
race strategy and driver performance. Today’s fans, he noted, are not passive
viewers; they track teams, drivers, tactics, and live data with unmatched
intensity.

The 2026 Formula 1 season begins on March 8 with the
curtain-raiser in Australia and promises to be one of the most thrilling in
recent memory. Sweeping technical regulation changes, an 11-team grid featuring
22 drivers, and a 24-race global calendar have set the stage for a fiercely
competitive year.

Revised aerodynamic rules aimed at reducing dirty air are
enabling cars to race closer, resulting in more overtakes and wheel-to-wheel
battles. Updated power unit regulations, featuring greater electrical
deployment and fully sustainable fuels, add another strategic dimension while
maintaining blistering speeds. The reset has tightened performance gaps,
creating a more level playing field and opening the door for multiple
contenders.

Fans can catch every race LIVE exclusively on FanCode, as
the platform continues to power India’s fast-evolving sports consumption
ecosystem, delivering seamless access, deeper engagement, and a growing
community of passionate motorsport followers.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">FanCode’s rapid rise reflects the surging popularity of Formula 1 in India. The platform has doubled its user base from 100 million in 2024 to over 200 million today, a sharp indicator of Indian fans’ growing appetite for premium global sporting action, particularly the high-octane world of F1.<br><br></span><span lang="EN-IN"><a href="https://fancode.onelink.me/tTJR/o96zyoxm"><span>Follow all the action from Formula 1 LIVE!</span></a></span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The sport’s footprint in India has expanded just as dramatically. Formula 1 fandom has grown from 60 million in 2024 to 78.8 million in 2026, underlining its evolution from a niche interest to one of the country’s fastest-growing sports properties. This momentum was at the heart of a candid conversation between Yannick Colaco, Co-Founder of FanCode, and popular broadcaster Hrishi K (The Radio OG).</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The discussion explored the rise of Formula 1’s fan culture in India and the pivotal role digital platforms are playing in accelerating that growth. Colaco highlighted the remarkable spike in engagement, from packed watch parties to thriving online communities dissecting race strategy and driver performance. Today’s fans, he noted, are not passive viewers; they track teams, drivers, tactics, and live data with unmatched intensity.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The 2026 Formula 1 season begins on March 8 with the curtain-raiser in Australia and promises to be one of the most thrilling in recent memory. Sweeping technical regulation changes, an 11-team grid featuring 22 drivers, and a 24-race global calendar have set the stage for a fiercely competitive year.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Revised aerodynamic rules aimed at reducing dirty air are enabling cars to race closer, resulting in more overtakes and wheel-to-wheel battles. Updated power unit regulations, featuring greater electrical deployment and fully sustainable fuels, add another strategic dimension while maintaining blistering speeds. The reset has tightened performance gaps, creating a more level playing field and opening the door for multiple contenders.</span><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Fans can catch every race LIVE exclusively on FanCode, as the platform continues to power India’s fast-evolving sports consumption ecosystem, delivering seamless access, deeper engagement, and a growing community of passionate motorsport followers.</span></p>

<title>BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU: RECLAIM YOUR POWER &amp;BY KARISHMA</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Every year, International Women’s Day is flooded
with tributes to the ‘Superwoman’- the one who manages everything for everyone.
But let’s be honest: this is a trap. It is an exhausting and impossible
standard designed to keep us performing for everyone else’s comfort.

The most powerful thing you can do this Women’s Day
is not to work harder, it is to stop being easy for the world to handle. 

Before we talk about how to take our power back, we
have to look at the 3 ways world currently sees us: 

1.   
The ‘Default Caretaker’-
The world expects us to be the emotional anchor, assuming that we have that
‘extra capacity’ to handle everyone else&#039;s problems.

2.   
The ‘Silent Adjuster’- We
are seen as the ones who will compromise, change our plans, or swallow our
frustrations to keep the peace.

3.   
The ‘Perpetual Competitor’-
Sadly, the world often pits us against one another, assuming there isn&#039;t enough
room at the top for more than one woman, forcing us to fight for scraps instead
of building the table.

 

We aren’t here to be the backbone of everyone else&#039;s
success at the cost of our own, we are here to reclaim the autonomy that the
world has quietly asked to trade away.

 

The Invisible Checklist: How we are
judged 

Society forces us into a narrow box defined by these
standards:


 The
     Sacrifice Standard: If you prioritize your
     health, needs, rest or your peace above someone else&#039;s convenience, you
     are labeled ‘selfish’.
 The
     Adjustment Standard: You are expected to be the
     ‘shock absorber’ in every room, who absorbs the stress and walks over the
     edges to keep the peace.
 The
     Perfection Standard: You are expected to be
     polished, patient, available, even when you are internally burning out.


Reality is as long as you tick these
boxes, you&#039;ll never be ‘empowered’. You will just be more efficient at
exhausting yourself.

The Retroactive Boundary is
the act of reclaiming your autonomy after the fact. If you agreed to something
out of habit, or failed to address a boundary violation when it happened, the
moment isn&#039;t lost. You have the right to revisit any situation once your mind
is clear. By returning to the person and explicitly stating that your previous
agreement no longer holds, you dismantle the ‘forced compliance’ cycle. This
proves to yourself that you are finally on your own side, you are no longer
accepting ‘being stuck’ as your reality just because you didn&#039;t react perfectly
in the moment.

Breaking the ‘Scarcity Trap’: 
Redefining Success

We need to shift from comparison to collaboration.
True empowerment isn&#039;t about standing alone, it&#039;s about lifting others as we
climb.


 Become
     Radical Allies: Instead of viewing other women as
     obstacles, choose to be the person who holds space for their growth. True
     support isn&#039;t just offering empty praise, it&#039;s being the person who cheers
     the loudest for her success and defends her reputation when she&#039;s not in
     the room. When we stop viewing one another as competition, we stop
     fighting recognition and start building a collective strength that
     benefits everyone.


 

A New Standard 

Real empowerment isn&#039;t about being a
‘Superwoman’. It&#039;s about choosing yourself. Society doesn&#039;t need us to be
better at adjusting, it needs us to be better at existing without apology. So,
stop trying to be the woman everyone else wants you to be. Start being the
woman who has your own back. When you walk in your own truth, you stop being a
cog in a system that wants you small, you become the blueprint for everyone
watching you. When we stop competing with each other we become an unstoppable
force and that will be ‘Women Empowerment’.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
6th March 2026 : Aadyam Handwoven, the corporate social
enterprise from the house of Aditya Birla, proudly announces its collaboration
with acclaimed actor and filmmaker Konkona Sensharma. Working closely with
weaver communities across Bhuj, Bhadohi Mirzapur, Gadwal, Kashmir, Pochampally,
Varanasi, Angara, Pulagurtha and Venkatagiri, Aadyam Handwoven was born from a
deep respect for India’s enduring handloom traditions. With a vision to create
a self-sustaining ecosystem for artisans, the brand co creates with them each season
by blending international design perspectives with time honored techniques. 

At
the heart of Aadyam lies its philosophy of #HeirloomsForTheFuture. An
heirloom is not defined by age. It is cherished, lived with, and passed on.
Konkona Sensharma’s association emerges from this very ethos. Raised amidst
literature, cinema, and layered artistic discourse, her aesthetic reflects a
deep appreciation for authenticity and meaning. Her intuitive elegance and
understated choices mirror the handloom spirit that Aadyam champions. She
embodies the modern cultural connoisseur who values craftsmanship, narrative,
and soul in both art and attire.

Sharing
his thoughts on the association, Manish Saksena, Business Lead, Aadyam
Handwoven, said:

“She
is a thinking person’s actor and director. Her repertoire in films speaks to
all sections of the society; equally and homogeneously. Moreover her lineage
which is culturally immersive is something that sits unequivocally with our
brand, Aadyam Handwoven’s ethos. We are delighted to join hands with her and
have her voice to amplify our impact efforts on weaving communities and
livelihood generation. She epitomizes our belief in creating #HeirloomsForTheFuture
be it textiles, films, performing arts or just pure legacy.”

Expressing
her perspective on the collaboration, Konkona Sensharma said:

“Textiles
have been part of my life since childhood- in the clothes I wear, the spaces I
inhabit, and the stories I carry. I’m drawn to Aadyam’s commitment to creating
handwoven heirlooms that feel alive in a contemporary home, and equally
meaningful in the sarees we choose to wear — rich with texture, presence and
quiet depth. It’s rare to find a brand that sees craft as a living dialogue —
not just heritage on display. That’s why I chose to associate with Aadyam —
because I genuinely feel at home in their world of craft, and I see in their
textiles and garments the same emotional continuity that I value in life.”

This
association is not anchored in conventional ambassador narratives. Instead, it
is a meeting of values, more like a handloom patron. It reinforces Aadyam’s
belief that handloom textiles are tactile luxury essentials and design objects
that enrich both wardrobes and living spaces.

Through
initiatives like #CultureBeyondTextiles, Aadyam continues to celebrate
Indian heritage as a living, evolving continuum that extends beyond fabric into
music, performance, literature and shared cultural experiences. With Konkona’s
voice and sensibility aligning with this vision, the brand further strengthens
its mission to spotlight weaving communities and champion slow, meaningful
creation.

About
Aadyam Handwoven
Aadyam Handwoven is a corporate social enterprise from the house of
Aditya Birla, dedicated to creating a self sustaining ecosystem for India’s
finest artisans. By supporting and selling handcrafted textiles rooted in
tradition yet shaped by contemporary design, Aadyam works to positively impact

<title>Mr. Nagabushana Reddy Named ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ at the 2026 South India Business Excellence Awards</title>

<description><![CDATA[ BENGALURU, March 06, 2026 : Success in the Bengaluru real estate market is often measured
in square feet or sales cycles, but tonight, the industry paused to honor a man
who measures it by trust. Mr. Nagabushana Reddy, the CEO, Founder and Managing
Director of NBR Group, was officially named the &quot;Entrepreneur of the Year
– Real Estate &amp; Infrastructure Development&quot; at the 2026 South India
Business Excellence Awards. The ceremony, held at the Ramada by Wyndham in
Yelahanka, saw a room full of Bengaluru’s business elite watch as Olympic icon
Saina Nehwal presented the top individual honour to Mr. Reddy.

This was not just another award on a shelf. The
&quot;Entrepreneur of the Year&quot; title carries weight because it recognizes
the person who built the machine, not just the machine itself. The jury pointed
to Mr.Reddy’s journey in the real estate industry starting back in 1998 about
turning a first-generation organization 
into a diversified powerhouse that has delivered over 12 million square
feet across the South. In a sector where reputations can be fickle, he has
managed to stay grounded, focusing on the basics like legal clarity and actual
delivery rather than just flashy marketing.

The timing of this win could not be more relevant. South
India is currently the engine room of the Indian economy. As of early 2026, the
southern states are punching way above their weight, contributing nearly 31% to
the national GDP. Bengaluru is the heart of this, recently logging
record-breaking office leasing of over 83 million square feet. This is not just
a number on a spreadsheet; it represents thousands of people moving to the
city, all of whom need a place to live. Mr. Nagabushana Reddy saw this shift
coming before the current boom, placing his bets on growth corridors like
Sarjapur Road - Gunjur belt and East Bengaluru long before they were the trendy
hotspots that they are today.

Under Mr.Reddy’s leadership, NBR Group has carved out a
very specific identity. He’s famously &quot;obsessed&quot; with the land itself
often spending months on land selection and layout discipline before a single
brick is laid. This discipline has allowed NBR to survive several economic
cycles that tripped up more aggressive, less patient developers. Whether it is
their vast plotted developments or the new high-rise luxury towers like NBR Soul
of the Seasons, located near the Sarjapur Road- Gunjur IT corridor in
Bengaluru, the NBR hallmark has always been about &quot;Resort-Style
Living&quot; where people have room to breathe.

Accepting the award, Mr. Nagabushana Reddy, CEO, Founder
and Managing Director of NBR Group, was 
modest : &quot;Honestly, when I started out in the late 90s, I just
wanted to build homes that I would be proud to live in myself. Back then, real
estate felt like the Wild West. My goal was to bring some order and honesty to
the process. This award belongs to my team and the families who have trusted us
with their life savings. We have grown as Bengaluru has grown, and as the city
enters this new phase as a global tech capital, NBR will keep building with the
same integrity we started with. We are not just building apartments; we are
building the neighbourhoods that our kids will grow up in.&quot;

Industry insiders often talk about the &quot;Nagabushana
Reddy style&quot;, which is a mix of traditional values and new-age tech. He
was an early adopter of Aluminium Formwork construction technology and digital
transparency portals, but he still believes in the power of a personal
handshake. This dual approach is likely why NBR Group has such a high rate of
repeat buyers. When people find a developer who does not hide behind fine
print, they tend to stick with them.

The award also highlights his role in the broader
infrastructure of the region. NBR Group’s 
projects often act as catalysts for development in their respective
areas, bringing in better roads and localized economic growth. The jury noted
that his &quot;nature-first&quot; planning, which often keeps a high proportion
of a project area allocated  as open
green space, is exactly what a modern, congested city like Bengaluru needs
right now.

As the night at Ramada by Wyndham wound down, the buzz
in the room was about what is next for the NBR Group. With upcoming launches
planned  and a clear focus on
eco-conscious architecture, Mr.Reddy seems to be just hitting his stride. His
win as Entrepreneur of the Year is a win for the idea that &quot;slow and
steady&quot; really does win the race in real estate, provided you have the
vision to see where the finish line is. ]]></description>

<h4></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">BENGALURU, March 06, 2026</span></b><span lang="EN"><b> : </b>Success in the Bengaluru real estate market is often measured in square feet or sales cycles, but tonight, the industry paused to honor a man who measures it by trust. Mr. Nagabushana Reddy, the CEO, Founder and Managing Director of NBR Group, was officially named the "Entrepreneur of the Year – Real Estate &amp; Infrastructure Development" at the 2026 South India Business Excellence Awards. The ceremony, held at the Ramada by Wyndham in Yelahanka, saw a room full of Bengaluru’s business elite watch as Olympic icon Saina Nehwal presented the top individual honour to Mr. Reddy.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This was not just another award on a shelf. The "Entrepreneur of the Year" title carries weight because it recognizes the person who built the machine, not just the machine itself. The jury pointed to Mr.Reddy’s journey in the real estate industry starting back in 1998 about turning a first-generation organization<span>  </span>into a diversified powerhouse that has delivered over 12 million square feet across the South. In a sector where reputations can be fickle, he has managed to stay grounded, focusing on the basics like legal clarity and actual delivery rather than just flashy marketing.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The timing of this win could not be more relevant. South India is currently the engine room of the Indian economy. As of early 2026, the southern states are punching way above their weight, contributing nearly 31% to the national GDP. Bengaluru is the heart of this, recently logging record-breaking office leasing of over 83 million square feet. This is not just a number on a spreadsheet; it represents thousands of people moving to the city, all of whom need a place to live. Mr. Nagabushana Reddy saw this shift coming before the current boom, placing his bets on growth corridors like Sarjapur Road - Gunjur belt and East Bengaluru long before they were the trendy hotspots that they are today.</span></p>

<title>Racing Culture Finds Its Wristwear: Fastrack Spotlights Overdrive at MotoJam 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
March 6, 2026 : Fastrack turned up the heat at Red Bull
MotoJam 2026, spotlighting its racing-inspired collection, Overdrive, at
one of India’s most electrifying celebrations of speed and performance. Through
an immersive on-ground presence, Fastrack translated its fashion-led
interpretation of motorsport culture into an experience designed for a
generation where speed, style, and self-expression go hand in hand. 

The
collaboration arrives at a time when Formula 1 has evolved into more than just
a sporting phenomenon in India; it has become a powerful fashion and lifestyle
driver. From racing-inspired streetwear and paddock aesthetics influencing
everyday wardrobes to global runways embracing “Motorsport Chic” as a design
language, motorsport is increasingly shaping how young audiences dress and
express themselves. Recognising this shift from track to trend, Fastrack
introduced the Overdrive analog watch collection, translating racing culture
into a bold fashion statement.

Overdrive
features two distinct designs across nine SKUs. The collection includes a
chronograph micromotor variant with a dial inspired by the hood of a race car
and a reimagined time display, alongside a chronograph tachymeter model drawing
inspiration from racing dashboards and built to measure speed. With bold
detailing and functional elements, the collection brings together mechanical
precision and motorsport-inspired design. 

Fastrack
amplified engagement at Red Bull MotoJam 2026 through the Fastrack Reaction
Zone, where attendees eagerly tested their reaction time through
racing-inspired challenges and experienced the Overdrive collection hands-on.
Participants were invited to step into the role of racers, competing in a
high-intensity format designed to test reflexes, precision, and speed under
pressure.

This
on-ground momentum was built through a series of campus activations across
eight colleges in Delhi, which generated over 1,500 student registrations for
similar reaction-time challenges. Together, these activations reinforced the
motorsport-driven spirit of Overdrive while transforming spectators into active
participants, blurring the line between product showcase and live racing
experience.

Commenting
on the association, Danny Jacob, Marketing Head, Fastrack, said: 
“The rapid rise of Formula 1 and motorsport in India shows how deeply
speed and performance have embedded themselves into youth culture. At Fastrack,
we’ve always built by listening closely to what excites young India. Overdrive
is our response to this growing motorsport movement, translating the intensity
and visual drama of racing into a product that feels relevant to today’s
generation.”

Through
Overdrive, Fastrack reinforces its commitment to designing for a generation
influenced by speed and style. The collection unfolds across two core design
formats spanning nine SKUs. Priced between ₹6,895 and ₹7,495, Overdrive is
available on fastrack.in, at Fastrack and Titan
stores nationwide and across all leading e-commerce platforms.

About
Fastrack: 
Fastrack is India’s iconic youth brand, always in tune with what’s next in
fashion and culture. With bold designs and a finger on the pulse of the latest
culture and trends, Fastrack empowers the young and the young-at-heart to
express themselves.

<title>Lighthouse Learning Group Partners with Early Learning Village to Strengthen Globally Benchmarked Early Childhood Education in India</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/lighthouse-learning-group-partners-with-early-learning-village-to-strengthen-globally-benchmarked-early-childhood-education-in-india</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/lighthouse-learning-group-partners-with-early-learning-village-to-strengthen-globally-benchmarked-early-childhood-education-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
March 06, 2026 : Lighthouse Learning Group, India’s leading
Early Childhood and K-12 education group, today announced a strategic
partnership with Early Learning Village (ELV), a Gurugram-based early years
institution known for its child-centred, research-led approach. The partnership
marks a significant step toward strengthening and scaling a globally
benchmarked early childhood education model in India.

The
collaboration brings together ELV’s intentionally small-group, thoughtfully
designed learning environment with Lighthouse Learning’s institutional depth,
governance expertise, and proven capability in nurturing and expanding
high-quality education brands across geographies. Rooted in shared values and a
long-term vision for excellence, the partnership aims to extend ELV’s
distinctive philosophy beyond Gurugram into new cities.

Founded
on a commitment to child-centric, research-led pedagogy, ELV has built a strong
reputation for delivering globally aligned curriculum frameworks within
carefully curated learning spaces. Its immersive early learning ecosystem
integrates global best practices with contextual relevance, prioritising
emotional security, cognitive growth, and holistic development.

With
over two decades of experience, Lighthouse Learning Group brings robust academic
and governance frameworks that support calibrated growth while preserving
institutional identity. Its strategic partnerships, including with Heritage
Xperiential Schools in Gurugram, reflect its ability to enable expansion while
remaining aligned to each institution’s core vision and ethos.

Prajodh
Rajan, Co-Founder &amp; Group CEO, Lighthouse Learning Group,
said, “We are delighted to partner with Early Learning Village, an institution that exemplifies
the highest quality in early childhood education with strong philosophy and
deep academic integrity. ELV represents a differentiated, globally
benchmarked early years model that aligns closely with our values. We look
forward to supporting Priya and Heba as we extend ELV’s framework into new
cities while preserving the quality, integrity, and intentionality that define
the institution.”

Pradeep
Jolly, Co-Founder, Early Learning Village,
commented, “ELV has always been built on the belief that early childhood
education must be intentional, research-backed, and deeply nurturing. As we
look toward expansion, it was essential to partner with an organisation that
values institutional integrity as much as we do. Lighthouse Learning’s
experience in scaling education brands thoughtfully gives us the confidence to
grow while preserving the culture, standards, and child-centric ethos that
define ELV.”

Priya
Dhawan, Co-Founder, Early Learning Village,
added, “Educational excellence and a deeply child-centric philosophy have
always been at our core. As we enter our next phase of growth, strong
governance and long-term sustainability are critical. Lighthouse Learning
brings the institutional depth required to support this journey, enabling
thoughtful scale while safeguarding the quality and globally aligned,
research-led approach that define ELV.”

Heba
Zaidi Khosla, Co-Founder, Early Learning Village,
said, “At this stage of ELV’s journey, it was important for us to find a
partner that deeply understands and respects our philosophy. Lighthouse
Learning shares our belief in intentional, research-driven environments and
long-term institutional strength. This partnership allows us to expand beyond
Gurugram while preserving the personalised approach that defines ELV.”

With
a shared commitment to quality, governance, and purposeful expansion,
Lighthouse Learning Group and Early Learning Village aim to create a
sustainable growth pathway in India’s early childhood education segment,
establishing ELV as a benchmark early years institution across key urban
markets.

LoEstro
Advisors acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Early Learning Village and

<title>Five Holi favourites that the cold chain helps deliver fresh to you</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/five-holi-favourites-that-the-cold-chain-helps-deliver-fresh-to-you</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Holi
is not just about the splashing of colours and getting together with loved ones
for some fun and frolic, it is equally about the delicacies associated with the
festival. From traditional sweets like gujiyas to refreshing drinks like
thandai and festive snacks like samosas and chaat, kitchens and e-commerce apps
rely heavily on cold stores to ensure these favourites reach your doorstep
fresh and on time.

Here’s
a look at five popular Holi staples that cannot do without cold-chain logistics
to stay fresh, safe, and delicious.

Gujiya
- The Star of Every Holi Platter

No
Holi celebration is complete without the humble gujiya. Whether stuffed with
khoya, dry fruits, or modern chocolate fillings, the ready-made version of this
festive sweet is highly temperature-sensitive and needs to be stored in
controlled environments to maintain its freshness and texture before it lands
in your fryer.

Cold
storage ensures consistent quality, extended shelf life, and food safety of the
milk solids, khoya, butter, and frozen fillings used to prepare these gujiyas,
especially when demand spikes sharply in the days leading up to Holi.

Thandai
- The Ultimate Holi Cooler

This
iconic Holi drink is made with milk, nuts, saffron, fennel, and spices. From
bottled ready-to-drink versions to fresh concentrates and syrups, thandai
ingredients need to be stored and moved at precise temperatures to preserve
flavour, freshness, and nutritional value.

Cold-chain
storage prevents spoilage in dairy components and flavour concentrates,
ensuring your thandai is safe to consume. 

Paan
- A Post-Holi Ritual

Whether
it’s the classic meetha paan, chocolate paan, or gourmet blends, Holi revellers
love their paan, peaking consumption during the festival. The betel leaves,
fillings, syrups, and flavouring ingredients all require temperature-controlled
storage.

Cold-chain
logistics help paan vendors and quick-commerce platforms deliver consistent
quality, ensuring that every bite is as fragrant and flavourful as expected.

Healthy
Drinks - With A Wellness Twist

While
a large part of India celebrates Holi in the traditional way with thandai, aam
panna and jal zeera, the urban areas are seeing a noticeable shift toward
healthier beverage choices like coconut water, cold-pressed juices, kombucha,
flavoured buttermilk, and protein-based drinks. Each of these drinks are
extremely sensitive to temperature fluctuations and have short shelf lives.

Cold
stores and temperature-controlled transport ensure these drinks remain in prime
condition for you to enjoy, even during peak festive demand.

Guilt-Free
Snacks - Festive Indulgence

The
younger generation are celebrating the festival with their own takes. From
yogurt-based dips and hummus to protein bars, fresh fruit bowls, and
low-calorie desserts, healthy snacking is now a normal part of Holi
celebrations.

These
products depend heavily on cold- chain logistics for quality and texture
retention as well as nutritional integrity, to allow consumers to indulge in
their favourite snacks guilt free. 

Behind
every festive order is a carefully executed temperature-controlled supply chain
run and managed by companies like ColdStar Logistics. From managing the safe
storage and movement of these sensitive products through multi-temperature
warehouses, providing refrigerated transport and real-time monitoring to
offering stringent handling protocols for clients, ColdStar ensures that your
festive favourites arrive fresh, safe, and on time, across geographies.

So,
this Holi, when you bite into a perfectly flaky gujiya or sip on a refreshingly
chilled thandai, remember the unseen cold chain working tirelessly in the
background which is responsible for transforming festive demand into seamless
delivery through operational excellence. ]]></description>

<h1></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Holi is not just about the splashing of colours and getting together with loved ones for some fun and frolic, it is equally about the delicacies associated with the festival. From traditional sweets like gujiyas to refreshing drinks like thandai and festive snacks like samosas and chaat, kitchens and e-commerce apps rely heavily on cold stores to ensure these favourites reach your doorstep fresh and on time.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Here’s a look at five popular Holi staples that cannot do without cold-chain logistics to stay fresh, safe, and delicious.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Gujiya - The Star of Every Holi Platter</span></b><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">No Holi celebration is complete without the humble gujiya. Whether stuffed with khoya, dry fruits, or modern chocolate fillings, the ready-made version of this festive sweet is highly temperature-sensitive and needs to be stored in controlled environments to maintain its freshness and texture before it lands in your fryer.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Cold storage ensures consistent quality, extended shelf life, and food safety of the milk solids, khoya, butter, and frozen fillings used to prepare these gujiyas, especially when demand spikes sharply in the days leading up to Holi.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Thandai - The Ultimate Holi Cooler</span></b><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This iconic Holi drink is made with milk, nuts, saffron, fennel, and spices. From bottled ready-to-drink versions to fresh concentrates and syrups, thandai ingredients need to be stored and moved at precise temperatures to preserve flavour, freshness, and nutritional value.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Cold-chain storage prevents spoilage in dairy components and flavour concentrates, ensuring your thandai is safe to consume. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Paan - A Post-Holi Ritual</span></b><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Whether it’s the classic meetha paan, chocolate paan, or gourmet blends, Holi revellers love their paan, peaking consumption during the festival. The betel leaves, fillings, syrups, and flavouring ingredients all require temperature-controlled storage.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Cold-chain logistics help paan vendors and quick-commerce platforms deliver consistent quality, ensuring that every bite is as fragrant and flavourful as expected<span>.</span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Healthy Drinks - With A Wellness Twist</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">While a large part of India celebrates Holi in the traditional way with thandai, aam panna and jal zeera, the urban areas are seeing a noticeable shift toward healthier beverage choices like coconut water, cold-pressed juices, kombucha, flavoured buttermilk, and protein-based drinks. Each of these drinks are extremely sensitive to temperature fluctuations and have short shelf lives.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Cold stores and temperature-controlled transport ensure these drinks remain in prime condition for you to enjoy, even during peak festive demand.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Guilt-Free Snacks - Festive Indulgence</span></b><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The younger generation are celebrating the festival with their own takes. From yogurt-based dips and hummus to protein bars, fresh fruit bowls, and low-calorie desserts, healthy snacking is now a normal part of Holi celebrations.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">These products depend heavily on cold- chain logistics for quality and texture retention as well as nutritional integrity, to allow consumers to indulge in their favourite snacks guilt free. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Behind every festive order is a carefully executed temperature-controlled supply chain run and managed by companies like ColdStar Logistics. From managing the safe storage and movement of these sensitive products through multi-temperature warehouses, providing refrigerated transport and real-time monitoring to offering stringent handling protocols for clients, ColdStar ensures that your festive favourites arrive fresh, safe, and on time, across geographies.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">So, this Holi, when you bite into a perfectly flaky gujiya or sip on a refreshingly chilled thandai, remember the unseen cold chain working tirelessly in the background which is responsible for transforming festive demand into seamless delivery through operational excellence.</span></p>

<title>Disruption In India’s Wellness Market: dLife Introduces ‘Reverse Or Refund’ Guarantee For Type 2 Diabetes, PCOS &amp;amp; NAFLD</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The
focus shifts from calorie counting and gym routines to correcting insulin
resistance and stabilising blood sugar

India’s
chronic lifestyle disease management playbook has traditionally focused on
lifelong management through medicines and medical procedures. Patients are
advised to control their numbers, stay on medication, and accept metabolic
conditions as permanent. So much so that Type 2 diabetes is labelled as a
progressive disease, and diseases like NAFLD, PCOS are normalized – “Sabko hota
hai” is the verdict.

At
dLife, Founder &amp; CEO Anup Singh and 
Chief Operating Officer Ira Sahay are openly challenging that assumption.
Singh, an alumnus of IIT Roorkee, himself is a Type 2 Diabetic since 2011 and
has not taken any medicines. Ms. Sahay reversed her own autoimmune disease –
membranous nephropathy – entirely through dietary modifications, though she was
told that six months down the line Kidney Transplant could happen. Five years
later, and she is still living with her original kidneys and no medicines.

We
Reverse, Or We Refund

Their
position is clear in WELLNESS circles, it is 
DISRUPTIVE. Lifestyle-driven metabolic conditions, they argue, are often
reversible when insulin resistance and nutritional triggers are addressed
correctly. This belief has shaped dLife’s journey since its inception in 2014,
when the platform began as  India’s first
structured low-carb communities tailored to Indian food habits, including
vegetarian diets. And now, the Largest Low Carb Ecosystem in the world.

What
sets the dLife model apart is the level of accountability Mr. Singh is willing
to attach to outcomes. The company’s Reverse or Refund commitment is
intentionally bold. In an industry where guarantees are rare, he has chosen to
lean into the promise rather than dilute it. dLife is here to DISRUPT the
Wellness sector, through the WE Reverse Or We Refund model, says Singh. 

“Our
view is simple,” Mr. Singh says. “If the root metabolic dysfunction is
addressed and the protocol is followed sincerely, improvement should not be
optional. It should be expected. And if we are confident in the science, we
should be willing to stand behind it – 11 years of real-world data.”

TYPE
2 Diabetes is NOT A Progressive Disease. You have been lied to!

Diabetes,
everyone says, is a progressive disease. The real explanation for this is that
the A1C levels are criminally relaxed, and even an A1C of up to 7.5 on multiple
pills and even insulin is considered fine. No one tells a diabetic how to get
to an A1C of 5.6 max with minimal use of drugs and insulin.

Virtahealth
(USA) considers an A1C of 6.5 max, even with Metformin as REVERSAL.

If
your Fasting insulin is 10 or more, WE WILL REVERSE your TYPE 2 diabetes
or REFUND your money – dLife’s offer that’s going to DISRUPT the
wellness segment.

Sing
says, in 2011, when I told my endo that I would not take pills, but go on my
own protocol of 20:20:60 or 100gm/day max carbs, the endo said – You will die
of multiple organ failure.

He
retorts in a seriously funny way  – why
am I not dead? Haven’t visited a doctor since 2012. And, I am not alone. In 11+
years, thousands have reversed, if not lacs.

PCOS
Should Not Be Normalized. It’s 100% REVERSIBLE

Much
of dLife’s recent focus has been on conditions that are rising sharply among
younger urban populations. PCOS is one of the most prominent. The
organisation’s framework treats PCOS primarily as a metabolic and
insulin-driven disorder rather than viewing it only through a reproductive
lens. Programs emphasise high-protein, controlled-carbohydrate nutrition
alongside long-term lifestyle correction – again within the dLife’s proprietary
20:20:60 protocol

Mr.
Singh and Ms. Sahay often point to a recurring pattern they observe in
practice. Many women presenting with PCOS also show markers of insulin
resistance, weight fluctuation, or early metabolic dysfunction. Addressing
hormonal symptoms without correcting the metabolic base, they argue, often
leads to temporary relief rather than durable change. dLife also has successful
cases of endometriosis reversal, avoiding hysterectomy.

NAFLD
Should Not Be Normalized. It’s 100% REVERSIBLE

Fatty
liver and NAFLD management form another major pillar. Often called a silent
condition because patients may remain asymptomatic for years, fatty liver is
emerging as one of India’s fastest-growing metabolic risks. Approximately 40%
of Indians, including doctors, are suffering from NAFLD. dLife’s protocols
focus on visceral fat reduction, liver marker improvement, and sustained
nutritional correction. Here again, Mr. Singh’s stance is assertive. Grade 2
NAFLD, he maintains, fatty liver is  REVERSIBLE  with structured DIETARY intervention. WE
REVERSE or WE REFUND! 

Weight
Loss Is a Collateral Advantage &amp; Never The Target

Interestingly,
despite visible weight changes in many clients, the organisatio ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Fatty liver and NAFLD management form another major pillar. Often called a silent condition because patients may remain asymptomatic for years, fatty liver is emerging as one of India’s fastest-growing metabolic risks. Approximately 40% of Indians, including doctors, are suffering from NAFLD. dLife’s protocols focus on visceral fat reduction, liver marker improvement, and sustained nutritional correction.

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Interestingly, despite visible weight changes in many clients, the organisation does not position itself as a weight-loss company. In Mr. Singh’s view, obesity is usually a downstream effect of deeper metabolic imbalance rather than the primary problem. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The emphasis, therefore, is not on chasing the weighing scale but on correcting insulin resistance, stabilising blood sugar, and restoring metabolic flexibility. When insulin levels drop, and the body shifts from fat storage to fat utilisation, visible weight reduction follows naturally. According to dLife, targeting weight directly without addressing hormonal and metabolic drivers often leads to cycles of temporary success and long-term relapse.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Correct the underlying dysfunction, he argues, and weight tends to normalise as a collateral outcome. Expensive GLP-1 drugs, they view as new FASHION and not a necessity, as dLife’s 100 g/day max carbohydrate template (or 20:20:60 model) dietary protocol gives the same results without the side effects.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Calorie Counting, Portion Control, and Spending Life in the Gym Not Needed</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This philosophy shapes the program design. The dLife model does not centre on calorie counting, excessive gym routines, or steep targets. Instead, the focus remains on food quality, metabolic repair, and satiety-based eating patterns intended to reduce what the company calls fall-off-track behaviour. To support adherence, the platform has built an extensive low-carb Indian recipe ecosystem, with 2000+ Indian low-carb and Keto recipes with macro and micro breakdowns available for the clients</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">CICO (Calorie In Calorie Out), is a <b>Heads I Win, Tails You Lose Model</b>, says Singh. A FAILED MODEL that comes with renewal plans. So, don’t waste your resources on the CICO approach. Never works in the long term. If it did, 40%+ of India wouldn’t be OBESE.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Alongside patient programs, dLife has expanded its professional ecosystem through the dLife 5.0 framework. This includes consultancy, certification course – </span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://www.elearning.dlife.in/shop/6-month-low-carb-nutrition-diploma/"><span>LOW CARB NUTRITION &amp; METABOLIC HEALTH</span></a></span><span lang="EN"> with Dual Certification – , and Community – the 3C’s . </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The NSDC Partner certificate can be pulled into DIGILOCKER in Real Time. THE CPD SO (UK) certificate comes with 158 hours of CPD credits, recognised in 50+ countries globally. Overseas courses in the same segment have no legal tenability in India. So no point wasting your money on such overseas courses.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The aim is to build a wider network of trained Metabolic Health Consultants (with a legally tenable certificate) who can apply metabolic correction principles in real-world settings. Notably, many doctors trained through the system also become partners for complex or resistant cases. Each case in the dLife network is handled by two certified Metabolic Health Consultants and one dLife-certified doctor.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Autoimmune Disorders</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The organisation’s work is not limited to metabolic syndrome alone. Under Ms. Sahay’s supervision, dLife also handles select autoimmune and complex metabolic cases, broadening its positioning beyond conventional lifestyle coaching. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">However, the disease reversal under this doesn’t come with a REFUND guarantee. Psoriasis, IBS/IBD, Urticaria, Ulcerative Colitis, Scleroderma, etc., have been successfully reversed/improved quality of life. What’s more encouraging is that many of these cases have been referred to by doctors themselves.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">What Next?</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">After more than a decade in the space, Mr. Singh often describes dLife as a destination many patients reach after trying multiple traditional routes. It is a claim that carries both confidence and scrutiny. As India’s burden of diabetes, PCOS, and fatty liver continues to climb, outcome-linked models like dLife are likely to invite both attention and debate.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">What is clear is that Anup Singh and Ira Sahay are not attempting to quietly fit into the existing metabolic care narrative through the CICO &amp; Gym model.

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/girls-before-the-world-kraus-jeans-celebrates-womens-day</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
Monday, 6th March 2026 : This Women’s Day, Kraus Jeans celebrates the
power of female friendship with its latest campaign, “Girls Before the World.”
Rooted in the idea that personal style is a form of self-expression within
sisterhood, the campaign highlights how women show up differently while
standing together. 

Denim
becomes the unifying thread, brought alive through Kraus’ best-selling
wide-leg, flared and straight-fit jeans, alongside on-trend Korean pants and
utility-led cargo styles. From structured high-waist straight fits for the boss
girl and relaxed baggy silhouettes for the laid-back one, to soft flares for
the minimalist and edgy cargos for the bold dresser each look reflects
individuality and confidence. Complementing these are versatile topwear
essentials, including graphic tees, easy-fit tops and relaxed shirts designed
for effortless mixing and matching, making everyday dressing intuitive and
expressive. 

Extending
the celebration beyond fashion, Kraus Jeans marks Women’s Day with a special
in-store offer that blends style, sustainability and thoughtful gifting. Customers
shopping for ₹5,490 and above can avail ₹1,000 off and receive a complimentary
denim bag, available across select stores while stocks last.  Online, shoppers can pick a pair of denims at
a flat ₹1,499, making it the perfect time to refresh everyday essentials.

Crafted
using leftover denim fabric, the repurposed denim bags reinforce Kraus Jeans’
commitment to mindful fashion, turning waste into a keepsake that’s both
meaningful and stylish.

At
the heart of the campaign is a simple belief: style should adapt to women, not
the other way around. Designed for real lives, Kraus Jeans creates silhouettes
that balance confidence, comfort and self-expression without compromise. 

This
Women’s Day, Kraus Jeans celebrates women who choose confidence, individuality
and connection. Because empowerment isn’t about fitting into one mould it’s
about showing up as yourself and standing stronger together.

Girls
before the world.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai Educational
Trust’s MET Utsav 2026 Explores the theme of ‘Mind Meets Machine’ Through
Sport, Art, Workshops, Carnival, and a Landmark Grand Finale

MUMBAI :
Mumbai Educational Trust (MET) brought the curtain down on MET Utsav 2026
with a landmark Grand Finale Tuesday evening at its Mumbai campus, drawing to a
close an extraordinary multi-day celebration themed “Mind Meets Machine”, a
bold exploration of the intersection between human creativity and technology.
The festival united students, faculty, staff, and an illustrious gathering of
guests from India’s film and music industries in a vibrant tribute to talent,
heritage, and the limitless potential of young India.

At the heart of MET
Utsav 2026 were the students themselves - hundreds of young men and women who
poured weeks of practice, passion, and creative energy into every performance,
competition, and showcase the festival had to offer. From the opening Sports
Day which saw fierce and jubilant competition, hands-on workshops, and a
roaring carnival, each day was a testament to the drive and enthusiasm that
defines the MET community. The Grand Finale became the stage where those weeks
of preparation converged into moments of pure magic: dynamic dance acts, aerial
choreography that left the audience breathless, a culturally immersive fashion
show, and stand-up performances that had the auditorium in stitches. For many
students, these were memories in the making, the kind that linger long after
the spotlights fade.

&quot;MET Utsav 2026
belongs to our students - every performance, every competition, every
late-night rehearsal that went into making this festival what it was,&quot;
said Pankaj Bhujbal, Hon. Trustee, MET. &quot;The theme &#039;Mind Meets Machine&#039;
challenged them to think differently about creativity, technology, and their
place in the world, and they rose to it magnificently. The MET Eminence Honor
was our way of placing that student energy in conversation with the legends who
have shaped Indian culture. When Jackie Shroff, Zeenat Aman, Neeraj Ghaywan,
Shail Hada, and Bela Shende are in the same room as our students, inspiration
flows in every direction.&quot;

The centrepiece of the
Grand Finale was the inaugural presentation of the MET Eminence Honor, a newly
established recognition conferred upon individuals who have demonstrated
exceptional excellence, enduring influence, and remarkable contribution to the
world of art, culture, and society. Seven distinguished honourees were
celebrated on the night, with the awards presented by MET Founder Chairman
Chhagan Bhujbal in the esteemed presence of Hon. MET Trustees Pankaj Bhujbal,
Samir Bhujbal, Dr. Jitendra S. Wagh, and Subhash Sanas. 

The MET Eminence Honors
2026 were conferred upon legendary actor Jackie Shroff and screen icon Zeenat
Aman for their excellence and timeless grace in Indian cinema; internationally
acclaimed filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan, whose latest feature Homebound,
executive produced by Martin Scorsese, is India’s official entry to the 2026
Academy Awards; celebrated playback singers Shail Hada and Bela Shende for
their outstanding contributions to Indian playback and classical music; and Chetan
Shashital for his excellence in voice artistry.

On the same occasion,
the prestigious MET Ratna Awards were bestowed upon outstanding academic
toppers across MET’s institutes, honouring scholarly excellence and
intellectual distinction. The MET Gaurav Awards were conferred on students,
faculty, and staff who have carried the MET
flag to national and international platforms, representing the institution with
distinction in competitive, professional, and creative arenas beyond the
campus.

MET Utsav 2026
reaffirmed the institution’s belief that education flourishes when it embraces
culture, creativity, and community. Anchored by the theme “Mind Meets Machine,”
this year’s festival challenged students to think boldly, perform fearlessly,
and celebrate the full breadth of who they are - not just as students, but as
the next generation of India’s thinkers, makers, and leaders.

<title>Digital Life, Real Balance: Are we in control of our digital lives?</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/digital-life-real-balance-are-we-in-control-of-our-digital-lives</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad, Telangana, 6 Mar 2026 : We
live in an age where technology is no longer a luxury, it is woven into every
part of our lives. From the moment we wake up to the alarm on our phone to the
last scroll before sleep, screens accompany us through work, education,
relationships and recreation. Digital tools have empowered us in extraordinary
ways, yet they have also quietly begun to shape our habits, attention and even
our emotions.

The question before us is not whether
technology is good or bad. It is far more important to ask: Are we in control
of our digital lives, or are our digital lives controlling us?

Technology has undeniably made life easier. A
student in a small town can access a world-class education online. A farmer can
check weather updates and market prices in real time. Families separated by
distance can stay connected at the touch of a screen. These are powerful gains
and we must acknowledge them with gratitude.

However, alongside these benefits, a silent
imbalance is emerging. Excessive screen time, constant notifications and the
pressure to stay “always online” are affecting how we think, sleep and interact
with one another. Many of us feel mentally tired even without physical work.
Children are spending more time on devices than in play. Conversations at home
are often interrupted by phone alerts. These are not dramatic changes but slow
ones and therefore more dangerous.

Digital fatigue is becoming a common
experience. Endless scrolling often replaces meaningful rest. Social media,
while connecting us, can also create unrealistic comparisons and emotional
stress. The line between work and personal life has blurred, making it harder
to truly switch off. Over time, this affects mental well-being, relationships
and productivity.

The solution does not lie in rejecting
technology, but in using it mindfully.

Real balance begins with awareness. Simple
steps can make a meaningful difference. Setting specific times to check
messages instead of responding instantly. Keeping phones away during family
meals. Encouraging children to balance screen time with outdoor activities,
reading or creative hobbies. Even small habits like avoiding screens an hour
before sleep can improve rest and mental clarity.

For working professionals, digital discipline
is equally important. Clear boundaries between work hours and personal time
help reduce burnout. Using technology as a tool rather than allowing it to
dictate our schedules can restore focus and efficiency. Employers, too, play a
role by respecting personal time and promoting healthy digital practices.

Parents face a unique challenge in raising
children in a digital-first world. Instead of strict bans, guidance and example
work better. When children see adults practicing balanced digital habits, they
naturally follow. Conversations about online safety, responsible usage and
emotional well-being are essential in today’s households.

Communities and institutions also have a role
to play. Schools can integrate digital literacy alongside academic learning,
teaching not just how to use technology, but how to use it wisely. Workplaces
can encourage offline breaks and human interaction. Society as a whole must
recognise that mental well-being is as important as digital advancement.

Technology should serve human progress, not
replace human connection. A message cannot replace a conversation. A like
cannot replace genuine appreciation. A screen cannot replace shared laughter,
silence or empathy.

As we move forward in an increasingly
connected world, let us choose balance over excess, mindfulness over habit, and
human connection over constant connectivity. When we learn to pause, disconnect
and reflect, we regain control, not just over our devices, but over our time,
attention and lives.

A truly modern society is not defined by how
connected it is digitally, but by how grounded it remains humanly.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
March 06, 2026 : The mandate of the global CTO is undergoing a
critical shift as AI moves from experimentation to enterprise-wide
transformation. According to McKinsey, more than three-quarters of
organisations now use AI in at least one business function, with generative AI
adoption accelerating rapidly across industries. At the same time, Gartner
reports that 70% of technology leaders consider generative AI a game-changing
technology, and nearly 45% of CIOs are now co-leading digital initiatives
alongside business leaders, signalling a move from pure IT oversight to
enterprise strategy. This shift is redefining the CTO’s role from managing
infrastructure to orchestrating data, AI, and innovation across the value
chain. As companies race to capture the economic potential of generative AI -
estimated by McKinsey to create $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion in annual value
globally, technology leaders are increasingly expected to shape business
outcomes, not just technology architectures.

To
address this growing need for strategic and future-ready leadership, the Indian
Institute of Management Lucknow (IIM Lucknow), a leading business school that
is ranked 5th amongst all B-schools in the Management category (NIRF India
Ranking, 2025), in collaboration with Emeritus, has commenced the 4th
batch of Chief Technology Officer Programme.
It stands out for its unique focus on enabling participants to shape and
sustain technology-strategy alignment that delivers measurable business impact.
Blending academic rigour, industry relevance and experiential learning, it
cultivates tech-inspired leadership that drives enterprise-wide transformation.

The
programme is designed for new, aspiring and experienced CTOs who want to
harness technology and strategy to drive faster business outcomes. It is also
tailored for emerging CTOs and CIOs seeking to build strategic acumen and
innovation capabilities, seasoned technology leaders aiming to strengthen
tech–business alignment and create organisation-wide impact. Additionally, it
is also beneficial for business owners or leaders looking to leverage
technology for digital disruption, sustained competitiveness and accelerated
growth.

Speaking
on the programme, Mr. Avnish Singhal, Executive Vice President, India &amp;
APAC, Emeritus, said, “Technology leadership today is about driving
meaningful business outcomes through clarity of vision and strategic agility.
This programme is designed to help leaders strengthen that intersection of
technology and strategy enabling them to make high-impact decisions. Through
this collaboration with IIM Lucknow, we aim to empower professionals with the
strategic perspective and leadership depth needed to turn technology into a
true business differentiator”

The
Chief Technology Officer Programme
by IIM Lucknow offers an immersive and forward-looking learning experience
designed to shape strategic technology leaders. This programme features 100%
live online lectures led by IIM Lucknow faculty and industry experts,
complemented by a 3-day campus immersion at the IIM Lucknow campus.
Participants gain valuable practitioner insights from leading technology
experts and apply their learning through a capstone project guided by the IIM
Lucknow faculty. Alongside developing a personalised CTO playbook, learners
acquire critical leadership and strategic skills and get a chance to engage in
peer-to-peer networking with CTOs. The modules of this programme include
innovating for artificial intelligence (AI), value chain digitalisation,
robotics at the cutting edge and mastering cloud strategy and adoption among
others.

<title>3ev Industries, 3eco Systems to Equip 10,000+ Electric Three&amp;Wheelers with Cautio AI&amp;powered Dash cams as Standard on Every Vehicle to Enhance Safety on Roads</title>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Deployment live with 1,200 vehicles live
across OEM and fleet platforms; 10,000+ committed across OEM and fleet
platforms, making this one of India&#039;s largest safety rollouts in electric
three-wheelers.

●       
Joint R&amp;D and driver training programmes
to build a culture of safety from factory to road.

●       
Partnership creates a unified safety, data and
operational intelligence layer across India’s EV logistics ecosystem

India,
March 06, 2026 : 3ev Industries, a Bengaluru-based
three-wheeler electric vehicle (EV) OEM manufacturer and 3eco Systems, a full-stack EV
logistics platform, today announced the large-scale deployment of dash cameras
manufactured by Cautio
across 10,000 electric three-wheeler fleet to protect drivers, passengers, and
the community. Cautio is India’s leading video telematics
company, manufacturing AI-powered dashcam systems. 

More
than 1,200 three-wheeler EVs equipped with dashcams are already live across
Bengaluru and Chennai, with over 10,000 electric three-wheelers committed under
the initiative, marking one of the most significant embedded AI safety rollouts
in India&#039;s electric three-wheeler segment to protect drivers on the roads.
Cautio’s dash cam systems will be installed as a standard feature in all
vehicles rolling off 3ev&#039;s production lines.

This
collaboration sets a new precedent for India’s electric mobility ecosystem by
embedding safety as a factory-level default, creating a data moat across OEM
and fleet layers, elevating driver welfare as a core pillar of mobility
economics, and positioning intelligence-driven accountability as a competitive
differentiator. As electric fleets scale nationwide, the benchmark will shift
from vehicle electrification alone to intelligence-driven safety and
operational excellence.

The
partnership followed an extensive evaluation of global and domestic video
telematics platforms, assessed across edge computing performance, real-time
alert accuracy, device reliability in high-temperature and high-dust
environments, analytics capability, and total cost of ownership. A decisive
factor was Cautio’s India-first architecture. Unlike platforms built primarily
for highway freight in developed markets, Cautio’s systems are purpose-built
for Indian urban operating conditions: congested roads, inconsistent 4G
connectivity, and extreme heat and dust. The technology is designed to function
reliably even where network coverage is patchy, processing data directly on the
device rather than depending on cloud connectivity for core safety functions.

“Our
objective was not just to add monitoring hardware, but to deploy technology
that meaningfully supports drivers on the road,” said Suman Mishra, Director
at 3eco Systems. “Following a detailed evaluation across global and
domestic platforms, Cautio emerged as the right partner, combining technical
capability with a deep understanding of Indian operating conditions. Other
platforms required reliable 4G connectivity that simply does not exist across
all our routes. This collaboration reflects our continued focus on building a
safety-first operating framework for drivers, fleet partners, and passengers -
added Karan Kadaba, Director at 3ev Industries. 

Cautio&#039;s
edge AI technology processes data directly on the device, eliminating cloud
dependency, reducing lag, and minimising blind spots. Computer vision
continuously tracks the driver&#039;s eyes, face, and posture, and the moment it
detects fatigue, distraction, or a phone in hand, the driver receives a
real-time alert. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) use the same vision
pipeline to read the road ahead, flagging collision risks and lane departures
in real time, even in the chaos of Indian mixed traffic where a three-wheeler
shares the road with an 8-10 wheel truck. Every data point from every trip
feeds into a single intelligent dashboard, giving fleet operators centralised,
real-time operational visibility.

“What
we are building with 3ev Industries and 3eco Systems is not a vendor-client
relationship. It is a shared mission,” said Ankit Acharya, Co-Founder &amp;
CEO at Cautio. “The electric three-wheeler driver is the new face of
India’s urban mobility workforce. These are young people building livelihoods,
serving communities, connecting cities. They deserve the same level of safety
that protects drivers in premium fleets. But safety cannot stop at a device -
it must extend to how we train drivers, how we develop technology, and how we
hold ourselves accountable to the communities we serve. India is asking for
safer roads. With 3ev, and 3eco we are answering. This is more than a
deployment. This is the start of building a safer country - added Ankit. 

The
collaboration extends beyond hardware deployment. As part of the multi-year
strategic partnership, Cautio, 3ev and 3eco will invest jointly in research and
development, driver training and education ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">India, March 06, 2026 </span></b><span lang="EN"><b>:</b></span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://3evi.com/media/"><span> </span></a><a href="https://3evi.com/media/"><span>3ev Industries</span></a></span><span lang="EN">, a Bengaluru-based three-wheeler electric vehicle (EV) OEM manufacturer and</span><span lang="EN"><a href="http://3eco.in/"><span> </span></a><a href="http://3eco.in/"><span>3eco Systems</span></a></span><span lang="EN">, a full-stack EV logistics platform, today announced the large-scale deployment of dash cameras manufactured by</span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://www.cautio.com/"><span> </span></a><a href="https://www.cautio.com/"><span>Cautio</span></a></span><span lang="EN"> across 10,000 electric three-wheeler fleet to protect drivers, passengers, and the community. Cautio is <span>India’s leading video telematics company, manufacturing</span> AI-powered dashcam systems. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">More than 1,200 three-wheeler EVs equipped with dashcams are already live across Bengaluru and Chennai, with over 10,000 electric three-wheelers committed under the initiative, marking one of the most significant embedded AI safety rollouts in India's electric three-wheeler segment to protect drivers on the roads. Cautio’s dash cam systems will be installed as a standard feature in all vehicles rolling off 3ev's production lines.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This collaboration sets a new precedent for India’s electric mobility ecosystem by embedding safety as a factory-level default, creating a data moat across OEM and fleet layers, elevating driver welfare as a core pillar of mobility economics, and positioning intelligence-driven accountability as a competitive differentiator. As electric fleets scale nationwide, the benchmark will shift from vehicle electrification alone to intelligence-driven safety and operational excellence.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The partnership followed an extensive evaluation of global and domestic video telematics platforms, assessed across edge computing performance, real-time alert accuracy, device reliability in high-temperature and high-dust environments, analytics capability, and total cost of ownership. A decisive factor was Cautio’s India-first architecture. Unlike platforms built primarily for highway freight in developed markets, Cautio’s systems are purpose-built for Indian urban operating conditions: congested roads, inconsistent 4G connectivity, and extreme heat and dust. The technology is designed to function reliably even where network coverage is patchy, processing data directly on the device rather than depending on cloud connectivity for core safety functions.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN">“Our objective was not just to add monitoring hardware, but to deploy technology that meaningfully supports drivers on the road,” said <b>Suman Mishra, Director at 3eco Systems.</b> “Following a detailed evaluation across global and domestic platforms, Cautio emerged as the right partner, combining technical capability with a deep understanding of Indian operating conditions. Other platforms required reliable 4G connectivity that simply does not exist across all our routes. This collaboration reflects our continued focus on building a safety-first operating framework for drivers, fleet partners, and passengers - added <b>Karan Kadaba, Director at 3ev Industries. </b></span></i><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Cautio's edge AI technology processes data directly on the device, eliminating cloud dependency, reducing lag, and minimising blind spots. Computer vision continuously tracks the driver's eyes, face, and posture, and the moment it detects fatigue, distraction, or a phone in hand, the driver receives a real-time alert. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) use the same vision pipeline to read the road ahead, flagging collision risks and lane departures in real time, even in the chaos of Indian mixed traffic where a three-wheeler shares the road with an 8-10 wheel truck. Every data point from every trip feeds into a single intelligent dashboard, giving fleet operators centralised, real-time operational visibility.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN">“What we are building with 3ev Industries and 3eco Systems is not a vendor-client relationship. It is a shared mission,” said <b>Ankit Acharya, Co-Founder &amp; CEO at Cautio</b>. “The electric three-wheeler driver is the new face of India’s urban mobility workforce. These are young people building livelihoods, serving communities, connecting cities. They deserve the same level of safety that protects drivers in premium fleets. But safety cannot stop at a device - it must extend to how we train drivers, how we develop technology, and how we hold ourselves accountable to the communities we serve. India is asking for safer roads. With 3ev, and 3eco we are answering. This is more than a deployment. This is the start of building a safer country - added Ankit. </span></i><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The collaboration extends beyond hardware deployment. As part of the multi-year strategic partnership, Cautio, 3ev and 3eco will invest jointly in research and development, driver training and education programmes, and community-level road safety advocacy,<span>  </span>with the goal of establishing a replicable, structured approach to safety within electric three-wheeler operations. As fleet electrification accelerates across Indian cities and regulatory frameworks around commercial vehicle safety continue to evolve, embedded AI safety systems are expected to play an increasingly central role in operational standards and risk management.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Built
on its “Nurturing Individuality” philosophy, the school sustains a 1:7.2
student–teacher ratio alongside rising enrolment

Goa,
March 5, 2026 : The Gera School (TGS), a Cambridge curriculum
institution located at Kadamba Plateau, has emerged as Goa’s largest
international school by enrolment, with 525 students registered for the 2026–27
academic year, according to data shared by the school.

The
milestone reflects growing demand among families in the state for
internationally aligned education options that combine global curricula with
personalised learning environments.

Industry
enrolment figures indicate that The Gera School now has the highest student
strength among international schools in Goa. School representatives said the
growth has been accompanied by continued emphasis on individual attention — a
core element of its educational philosophy centred on “Nurturing
Individuality.”

The
school reports a student–teacher ratio of 1:7.2 and an average class size of
about 22 students per division, figures it says enable personalised engagement
despite increasing enrolment.

“Growth
is meaningful only when learning quality strengthens alongside it,” said Mr
Carol Joseph, Principal of The Gera School. “For us, becoming Goa’s largest
international school is not a number, it is a responsibility. Our focus remains
unchanged: every child must be known as an individual. The strength of our
model at The Gera School, lies in our teacher mentorship culture, and the daily
rigour of inquiry-based learning. As we launch Grade 12, we are not simply
adding a cohort. We are completing a learning journey that begins with
curiosity in the early years and culminates in confident, globally prepared
young adults.”

Transition
to Full K-12 Institution

The
upcoming academic year will also mark the school’s transition into a complete
K-12 institution, with the launch of its first Grade 12 cohort under the
Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) framework.

The
Cambridge curriculum is internationally recognised for its inquiry-based
approach and emphasis on analytical thinking, preparing students for global
higher-education pathways through programmes culminating in A-Levels.

Growth
and Investment

According
to Mr Rohit Gera, Managing Director of Gera Developments, the institution’s
scale has enabled expanded investment in faculty and infrastructure.

“A
common concern among parents is that as a school grows, individual attention
reduces. We were conscious of that perception from the very beginning. For us,
scale has never been about numbers alone. It is about capability. Growth allows
us to invest more deeply in faculty quality, infrastructure, and specialised
programmes while maintaining a strong student–teacher ratio. Our aim is to
build an institution that combines the vibrancy of a large school community
with the personal attention families rightly expect. With the transition of The
Gera School to a full K–12 Cambridge pathway, we are ensuring that parents in
Goa no longer have to look beyond the state for globally benchmarked higher
secondary education.”

Focus
on Holistic Development

The
campus integrates academic learning with creative and physical development
through a range of facilities, including smart classrooms, tech-enabled
learning environments and laboratories, dedicated facilities for performing and
visual arts with a state-of-the-art auditorium, a learning resource centre, and
robust indoor and outdoor sports infrastructure.

School
officials say structured co-curricular and performing arts programmes form an
integral part of the learning model, aimed at developing students across
academic, creative, and athletic dimensions, tailored to the unique interests
of each child.

Strengthening
International Education in Goa

With
its transition to a full K-12 Cambridge pathway, The Gera School aims to expand
access to internationally benchmarked education within Goa, reducing the need
for students to move out of the state for higher secondary international
programmes.

Founded
as a co-educational institution affiliated with Cambridge Assessment
International Education, the school offers an international curriculum focused
on inquiry-based learning, holistic development, and global readiness through
academics, arts, sports, and life-skills education.

About The Gera School

The Gera School, located at Kadamba
Plateau, is recognized by the nationally and internationally accepted Cambridge
Board. It is a co-educational, day-boarding international school. It commenced in 2018 for
Pre-primary and Primary up to the 4th standard. The school now boasts 525 students, and
has expanded into a K–12 school.

The school campus is equipped with
world-class infrastructure and facilities spread over four acres. These include
a state-of-the-art auditorium, specially designed smart classrooms, dedicated room ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Gurgaon,
India | March 05, 2026 : EasyFix Handy Solutions India Private Limited,
a technology-enabled enterprise maintenance and repair services platform, has
raised nearly Rs 6 crore in a funding round led by Campus Angels Network.
The round saw participation from members of the network, reflecting strong
investor confidence in the company’s scalable and process-driven model.

Founded
over a decade ago, EasyFix has built a national platform that delivers
structured repair and maintenance (R&amp;M) services to enterprise clients
operating across multiple locations. The company addresses a long-standing gap
in the market—fragmented service delivery, lack of accountability, inconsistent
technician quality, and limited visibility into asset lifecycle and service
performance.

EasyFix’s
proprietary technology platform integrates workflow management, real-time
tracking, SLA monitoring, and a Technician Quality Index (TQI) built over years
of operational data. This enables enterprise customers to standardise
maintenance processes across hundreds of outlets while improving turnaround
time, compliance, and cost visibility.

The
company currently executes approximately 3 lakh service jobs annually and
serves over 100 enterprise customers across sectors including retail, banking,
QSR chains, healthcare, and commercial infrastructure. With presence across
multiple cities and an extensive technician network, EasyFix combines local
execution capability with centralised control and reporting.

The
fresh capital will be deployed towards strengthening the technology stack,
enhancing enterprise sales capability, expanding geographic footprint,
deepening service categories, and building stronger operational controls to
drive margin improvement and scalability. The company plans to further invest
in data analytics, automation, and process optimisation to improve service
quality and customer retention.

Founder
Perspective

Shaifali Holani,
Founder &amp; CEO, EasyFix, said:

“Over
the past ten years, we have built EasyFix as a dependable partner for
enterprise clients managing multi-location operations. Our focus has always
been on structured processes, strong technician networks, and technology-backed
service delivery. With the support of Campus Angels Network, we will accelerate
our growth, strengthen governance frameworks, and expand our platform to
deliver higher operational efficiency at scale.”

Investor
Perspective

Chandran Krishnan,
Managing Director &amp; CEO, Campus Angels Network, said:

“EasyFix
represents a mature, execution-led platform operating in a large and
under-organised sector. The company has demonstrated resilience, operational
discipline, and strong enterprise traction over a sustained period. We believe
there is significant opportunity to build a national leader in structured
enterprise maintenance services by leveraging technology, data-driven
decision-making, and disciplined scaling.”

Enterprises
seeking a structured, technology-driven maintenance partner across multiple locations
may connect with EasyFix for partnership discussions. Skilled technicians
interested in working within an organised and process-driven service platform
may also explore opportunities with the company. ]]></description>

<title>HEY TEEN Launches in India to Finally Give Teenagers Skincare That Fits Their Biology, Not Adult Trends</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/hey-teen-launches-in-india-to-finally-give-teenagers-skincare-that-fits-their-biology-not-adult-trends</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ MUMBAI, INDIA :  It is 11 PM. A teenager is scrolling through Instagram. An
influencer with flawless skin recommends a new retinol serum. Inspired, the
teen reaches for their mother&#039;s moisturiser, assuming that &quot;good
ingredients work for everyone.&quot;

This is the
popular belief. It is also a dangerous misconception.

Social media has
blurred the lines between adult beauty standards and teenage reality. Teenagers
see adults raving about anti-aging serums and vitamin C toners and naturally
want to join the trend. But beneath the surface, a biological clash is
occurring. Adult products, when used on developing skin, can cause long-term
damage rather than the glow they promise.

HEY TEEN, a new
Indian skincare brand, is launching to change this narrative. Built exclusively
for teenagers and pre-teens, HEY TEEN is not adult skincare in cuter packaging.
It is science-backed formulation designed from the ground up for skin that is
still in school.

The Biology
of a Teenager’s Skin

During
adolescence, the body undergoes a seismic shift. Hormones called androgens push
oil glands into overdrive, producing excess sebum. This is why teenage skin
often feels shiny, greasy, or prone to breakouts.

Simultaneously,
the skin barrier—the protective outer layer responsible for locking in moisture
and keeping irritants out—is still developing. This makes teen skin more
reactive, more sensitive, and significantly easier to disrupt than adult skin.

Adult skincare,
by contrast, was formulated for skin that &quot;graduated&quot; years ago. When
these two collide, the results can be harmful:


 Retinol Overload: Anti-aging
     serums speed up cell renewal. Teen skin already renews rapidly. Adding
     retinol causes redness, peeling, and extreme sensitivity.
 Heavy Creams Clog Pores: Rich
     adult moisturisers designed for dry, mature skin act as a barrier on oily
     teen skin, trapping oil and worsening breakouts.
 Harsh Actives Strip the Barrier: Fragrances,
     alcohol, and strong chemical actives found in adult products damage a
     still-developing skin barrier, leading to long-term inflammation.


The Gap in
the Market

Despite
experiencing some of the most dramatic skin changes of their lives, teenagers
have been overlooked by the skincare industry. Brands either target adults with
anti-aging solutions or very young children, leaving a massive demographic
without a dedicated option.

HEY TEEN was founded by Jayati Goel,
a cosmetic formulation scientist certified by ADCS UK and EDCT India, who
recognized that no brand was taking teen skin seriously enough to build around
it. Rather than repackaging adult formulas, she returned to the lab to create
products that respect the unique biology of developing skin.

Why Indian
Teen Skin Needs More

Indian teenagers
face additional environmental stressors that global skincare brands fail to
address. Daily exposure to heat, humidity, dust, and high pollution levels puts
serious stress on the skin barrier. Furthermore, higher melanin levels mean
that when Indian teen skin is irritated or inflamed, it is more prone to leaving
behind dark spots and hyperpigmentation that can take months to fade.

Using harsh,
unsuitable products in this climate accelerates the damage. What Indian teen
skin needs is support that understands the local environment—not a formula
built for someone in London or New York.

The HEY TEEN
Range: Teens First

The HEY TEEN
product line is built on a simple, non-negotiable promise: Teens First. In
Everything We Do.

Every product is
science-backed, gently formulated for a developing skin barrier, and crafted with
100% natural-driven actives. The range is dermatologist-recommended and 100%
cruelty-free.

The
collection includes:

●     
Hydra Glow Face Wash: For
gentle, daily hydrating face wash for teens
.

●     
Acne Away Face Wash: A
mild, pH-balanced cleanse for oily and acne-prone skin.

●     
Acne Eraser
Gel: Formulated to gently fade post-pimple marks.

●     
Acne Pimple
Patches: Targeted spot treatment for active breakouts.

●     
Cotton Candy Body
Lotion: Lightweight hydration that doesn&#039;t feel sticky.

●     
Honey Bee Lip
Balm: Soothing care for dry, chapped lips.

Educating the
Next Generation

Beyond products,
HEY TEEN is committed to education. The brand empowers teenagers to adopt a
simple, effective routine built on essentials:

●     
Cleanse Gently: Use a
mild, pH-balanced face wash twice a day. No harsh scrubs.

●     
Moisturise
Consistently: Even oily skin needs hydration. Skipping it signals oil
glands to produce even more.

●     
Wear Sunscreen
Daily: India&#039;s UV index is serious. Sun protection is non-negotiable.

●     
Stop Picking: Popping
pimples leaves dark marks on Indian skin that can take months to fade.

The goal is not
to attack the skin with aggressive treatments, but to support it during on ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
5th March, 2026  : SBI General Insurance,
one of India’s leading general insurance companies, has announced acclaimed
actor Pankaj Tripathi as its Brand Ambassador and unveiled an integrated brand
campaign ‘Chuniye Bharosa, Apno Sa’. The association unites a
personality known for credibility and authenticity with a brand rooted in trust
and transparency. Pankaj Tripathi’s grounded persona makes him a natural
embodiment of the brand’s core promise - “Trust” that feels personal and
reassuring.

The
brand has launched a new health insurance film as part of its ‘Chuniye Bharosa, Apno Sa’
campaign, highlighting its promise of being a trusted partner in safeguarding
families. The campaign is rooted in the belief that true assurance is built
through quiet, everyday acts of care, the small, consistent gestures that
reflect responsibility, protection and unwavering support.

Featuring
Pankaj Tripathi, the film presents him as a quiet pillar of strength within his
family who is deeply attuned to their needs and expressing care through
thoughtful, everyday actions. His presence reflects responsibility, empathy and
steadfast commitment, qualities that strongly resonate with Indian households.
The narrative mirrors SBI General Insurance’s role as a constant source of
protection, standing by families with confidence and care when it matters most.
The film has been conceptualized and executed by TBWA Lintas.

This
philosophy is increasingly relevant in today’s healthcare landscape. In an
increasingly uncertain environment, rising medical costs and growing health
awareness have made comprehensive health insurance a vital pillar of financial
planning. SBI General Insurance is focused on making the category more
meaningful, by integrating product innovation, technology, and offering
transparent claim settlements. 

Speaking
on the collaboration, Mr. Naveen Chandra Jha, MD &amp; CEO, SBI General
Insurance, said, “India is witnessing a clear shift in how
families approach healthcare and financial security. With rising medical costs
and increasing health awareness, comprehensive health insurance has become
essential rather than optional. Through the ‘Chuniye Bharosa, Apno Sa’ campaign
and our partnership with Pankaj Tripathi, we aim to raise awareness about the
need for proactive health protection while reinforcing our commitment to making
insurance simple, accessible, and responsive to the evolving needs of Indian households.”

Mr.
Pankaj Tripathi, Brand Ambassador, SBI General Insurance, said, “I
am thrilled to be associated with SBI General Insurance, one of the strongest
brands in the General Insurance industry as their brand ambassador.  What truly moves me is the brand’s unwavering
commitment to providing protection and the trust that it has among the
customers. What touched me to the core is the campaign&#039;s heartfelt narrative,
&#039;Chuniye Bharosa, Apno Sa’ - a promise that radiates warmth, deep
responsibility, and an unbreakable sense of family and belonging. Through this
film, the brand is igniting nationwide awareness about the critical necessity
of health insurance, ensuring families across India are protected when it
matters most.”

Mr.
Rathin Lahiri, Head - Marketing &amp; CSR, SBI General Insurance, further
added, “We are delighted to welcome Pankaj Tripathi
as our Brand Ambassador and to be the face of our new brand film. The film  celebrates the quiet heroism of the common
man, who does everything to improve the quality of life for his family as does
SBI General Insurance to provide protection via Health Insurance.”

The
comprehensive integrated campaign will be amplified across Print, TV, OOH, OTT
platforms, and social media platforms. Leveraging compelling storytelling, and
sustained engagement initiatives, the Company aims to take the campaign
“Chuniye Bharosa, Apno Sa” to audiences across the country. This integrated
approach is designed to strengthen brand recall, deepen emotional connect, and
reinforce SBI General Insurance’s position as a dependable partner in financial
protection.

<title>The Real Secret for Brand Growth Ft. Jateen Kore &amp;amp; Ravikant Banka on Brand Ki Baat – Mumbai Edition by NewsReach</title>

<description><![CDATA[ NewsReach
brings you unfiltered stories from professionals shaping the world of branding
on Brand Ki Baat.

In
a world where brands are always looking for more attention, the true
differentiator is not longer about visibility, but about understanding and
conveying one&#039;s true identity. Today, markets are more connected than ever, and
people are more informed and aware of what is going on. However, it is not
about creating more noise and following trends, but about understanding people
and the market, and creating stories based on honesty rather than imitation.

Welcome
to Crafting Bharat: Brand Ki Baat – Mumbai Edition, a podcast where we
talk about brands, businesses and the people who build them from the inside
out. In this engaging episode, host Kartik Chawla sits down with Ravikant
Banka , Founder of Eggfirst, and Jateen Kore, Founder of Lynqnext
Consulting Pvt.Ltd  for a
conversation about rural markets, storytelling in the age of shrinking
attention spans, and why brands must discover their “Identity” before they seek
growth.

This series is proudly brought to you by NewsReach, India’s leading PR-tech platform, with
Production Partner HT Smartcast; Gifting Partner Nanaji Natural and Beauty
Partner Lakme Academy. Tune in for stories, insights, and inspiration!

Episode Link: https://youtu.be/_Ap-V0tAttc?si=_t6PflAd0qST-bXR

Edited Excerpts

You
have worked on both sides, client and agency side. How has that helped you in
brand building?

Jateen
Kore: I have had the opportunity to work on both
sides of the table, as a client and as an agency professional, and that has
helped me understand the balance between conceptual thinking and execution. “I’m
probably one of those few professionals who’s worked on both sides of the table
so I bring in that perfect balance between understanding conceptualization and
execution.” That helps me think creatively as well as think about execution
and its impact on the business.

Why
did Eggfirst focus intensively on Tier 2, Tier 3, and rural markets?

Ravikant
Banka: About 12-13 years ago, we saw that rural India
was growing at a very fast pace. Brands wanted to get into rural India, but
they didn’t know the consumer. We spent a lot of time in rural India
understanding how they live their lives, what they aspire to, and how they make
different decisions compared to urban consumers. &quot;The more we
understood the dreams and aspirations of those consumers, the more we
understood that we could create better value for brands.&quot;

Consumers
in rural India need to be understood in a very different manner. That
understanding forms the basis for communication.

What
is one mistake brands make when they attempt to reach regional markets?

Ravikant
Banka: One of the major blunders is underestimating
the complexity of these markets. India is a highly heterogeneous market, and
serving beyond metropolitan cities demands far greater depth and effort in
distribution, communication, and messaging. “If you wish to target a large
mass of people beyond urban centers, it becomes a massive challenge… the entire
media landscape changes.”

What
should be the brand’s perspective on the consumer behavior in the current
digital and connected world?

Jateen
Kore: The consumers today have been influenced by
the global world, and yet their behaviors are also influenced by the nuances of
the local world. The opportunity for marketers is to identify the triggers that
bring communication closer to consumer behavior. Even though the consumers’
experience may be similar globally, the way consumers behave with the brand is
different.

How
do you balance creativity with speed in the market that we are in today, which
is so competitive?

Ravikant
Banka: Today, the market needs speed and creative
depth, and it is our responsibility as an agency to give that to them. “It is
imperative that brands protect their turf and grow against intense competition,
and therefore they need the right combination of speed and creativity.” While
technology and AI can aid in this process, creative thinking must come from
human insight and understanding.

This
discussion illustrates one of the great truths of brand building in the modern
world: it starts with understanding who you are. Whether it is understanding
rural consumers, adapting to changing attention spans, or coping with the
arrival of AI, it is all the same. You need to stay true, stay disciplined, and
stay connected to those you are serving.

In
a world where speed and change are everything, it is not sameness but
uniqueness that leaves a lasting impression. It is those brands that understand
who they are and express it with honesty and integrity.

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In a world where brands are always looking for more attention, the true differentiator is not longer about visibility, but about understanding and conveying one's true identity. Today, markets are more connected than ever, and people are more informed and aware of what is going on. However, it is not about creating more noise and following trends, but about understanding people and the market, and creating stories based on honesty rather than imitation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Welcome to <i>Crafting Bharat: Brand Ki Baat – Mumbai Edition</i>, a podcast where we talk about brands, businesses and the people who build them from the inside out. In this engaging episode, host <i>Kartik Chawla</i> sits down with <i>Ravikant Banka </i>, <i>Founder of Eggfirst</i>, and <i>Jateen Kore, Founder of Lynqnext Consulting Pvt.Ltd </i><span> </span>for a conversation about rural markets, storytelling in the age of shrinking attention spans, and why brands must discover their “Identity” before they seek growth.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">You have worked on both sides, client and agency side. How has that helped you in brand building?</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Jateen Kore:</span></b><span lang="EN"> I have had the opportunity to work on both sides of the table, as a client and as an agency professional, and that has helped me understand the balance between conceptual thinking and execution. <i>“I’m probably one of those few professionals who’s worked on both sides of the table so I bring in that perfect balance between understanding conceptualization and execution.” </i>That helps me think creatively as well as think about execution and its impact on the business.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Why did Eggfirst focus intensively on Tier 2, Tier 3, and rural markets?</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Ravikant Banka: </span></b><span lang="EN">About 12-13 years ago, we saw that rural India was growing at a very fast pace. Brands wanted to get into rural India, but they didn’t know the consumer. We spent a lot of time in rural India understanding how they live their lives, what they aspire to, and how they make different decisions compared to urban consumers. <i>"The more we understood the dreams and aspirations of those consumers, the more we understood that we could create better value for brands."</i></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Consumers in rural India need to be understood in a very different manner. That understanding forms the basis for communication.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">What is one mistake brands make when they attempt to reach regional markets?</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Ravikant Banka: </span></b><span lang="EN">One of the major blunders is underestimating the complexity of these markets. India is a highly heterogeneous market, and serving beyond metropolitan cities demands far greater depth and effort in distribution, communication, and messaging. <i>“If you wish to target a large mass of people beyond urban centers, it becomes a massive challenge… the entire media landscape changes.”</i></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">What should be the brand’s perspective on the consumer behavior in the current digital and connected world?</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Jateen Kore: </span></b><span lang="EN">The consumers today have been influenced by the global world, and yet their behaviors are also influenced by the nuances of the local world. The opportunity for marketers is to identify the triggers that bring communication closer to consumer behavior. Even though the consumers’ experience may be similar globally, the way consumers behave with the brand is different.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">How do you balance creativity with speed in the market that we are in today, which is so competitive?</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Ravikant Banka: </span></b><span lang="EN">Today, the market needs speed and creative depth, and it is our responsibility as an agency to give that to them. “It is imperative that brands protect their turf and grow against intense competition, and therefore they need the right combination of speed and creativity.” While technology and AI can aid in this process, creative thinking must come from human insight and understanding.</span></p>
<p></p>

<title>India Seeks Peace Through Shared Values as Global Initiative Gathers Worldwide Support</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
March 05, 2026 : With geopolitical faultlines at multiple
fronts and a growing yearning for harmony, peace has become an urgent global
priority — a message that finds deep resonance in India and beyond. Building on
its expanding global footprint, the I Am Peacekeeper Movement is calling
for collective action built on universal human values.

Founded
by peace advocate Dr. Huzaifa Khorakiwala, the movement asserts that inner
peace is the foundation of world peace and is grounded in seven human
values: Truth, Gratitude, Forgiveness, Love, Humility, Giving, and Patience.
“In these challenging times, peace cannot be an abstract ideal,” said Dr.
Khorakiwala.

“Peace
starts with how we treat one another in our homes, workplaces and communities.
World peace will only be realized when we live the values that make it
possible.”

The
Movement, which already engages millions globally, will converge in Dubai this
May at the Billionaires for Peace Conclave, bringing together global
influencers, Nobel Peace Laureates, and philanthropic leaders. It joins India’s
own deep-rooted traditions of tolerance and unity, connecting public sentiment
with global peace-building efforts. 

The
initiative follows the landmark Global Justice, Love &amp; Peace Summit held in
April last year, which brought together 10 Nobel Peace Laureates on a single
stage, culminating in the release of a Peace Charter encouraging global
solidarity and ethical leadership.

The
I Am Peacekeeper Movement continues to grow as a platform for advocacy,
education, and shared initiatives that bridge divides and inspire cooperation
in a fractured world.

About
the I Am Peacekeeper Movement

The
I Am Peacekeeper Movement is a global initiative founded by Dr Huzaifa
Khorakiwala with a mission to promote universal peace through core human
values. Launched last year in Dubai, the Movement unites millions of advocates,
leaders, and institutions to promote compassion, equity, and unity worldwide.
It engages communities through campaigns, education, advocacy, and signature
events such as the Global Justice, Love &amp; Peace Summit and the Billionaires for Peace Conclave,
bringing together thought leaders and changemakers committed to building a more
peaceful and inclusive world. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
5th March 2026 :  India&#039;s financial sector stands at a
defining moment. The India Finance &amp; Innovation Forum (IFIF) 2026, with
i-exceed Technology Solutions joining as Principal Partner, is supported by
senior policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, and fintech
innovators, and is set to shape the national agenda around financial inclusion,
cooperative banking modernisation, and the transition toward AI-native
financial institutions, all aligned with the Viksit Bharat 2047 roadmap.

Embedded
at the heart of the forum as a central pillar of this national platform,
i-exceed will play a key role in enabling conversations on secure, intelligent,
and scalable digital banking infrastructure, empowering financial institutions
to expand access, strengthen resilience, and deliver next-generation financial
services across India.

Scheduled
for March 16–18, 2026, at the World Trade Centre, Cuffe Parade, Mumbai, India
Finance and Innovation Forum (IFIF) 2026 will convene ecosystem leaders to
accelerate inclusive growth and institutional transformation.

Speaking
on the announcement, Sundararajan S., Co-founder &amp; CEO of i-exceed
Technology Solutions, said, “India’s financial ecosystem is evolving
rapidly toward a digital-first, inclusive, and intelligent future. IFIF 2026
provides a vital platform for cooperative banks, fintech innovators, and
financial institutions to align with Viksit Bharath 2047 and accelerate their
digital transformation journeys. Collaboration across the ecosystem will be
critical to ensuring that innovation translates into real financial
empowerment.”

India
Finance and Innovation Forum (IFIF) 2026 is proud to be supported by the
following national agencies and ministries: the Ministry of Finance, the
Ministry of Cooperation, the Ministry of Micro, Small &amp; Medium Enterprises,
and the Ministry of Electronics &amp; Information Technology.

The
forum is also supported by a distinguished network of institutional sponsors
and partners, including the World Trade Center Mumbai, India Blockchain Forum,
Association for Emerging Technologies, Data Security Council of India, Indian
Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), NSRCEL, Grant Thornton, Chintan
Research Foundation, India Finnovation Network, Indian Banks&#039; Association,
Association of Mutual Funds of India, India &amp; Arab Countries Chamber of
Commerce Industry &amp; Agriculture, and the All India Association of
Industries.

Financial
institutions, cooperative banks, fintech companies, and ecosystem stakeholders
are invited to participate in India Finance and Innovation Forum (IFIF) 2026
and contribute to building a resilient, inclusive, and future-ready financial
ecosystem. By joining this national dialogue, institutions can help shape
policy direction, accelerate digital adoption, and unlock new growth
opportunities aligned with Viksit Bharath 2047 ambitions.

For
i-exceed, joining as Principal Partner is a strategic decision rooted in the
belief that meaningful digital transformation is achieved through coordinated
ecosystem collaboration. The forum drives this agenda across three tracks:
Finance as a Force of Good, exploring inclusive growth and cooperative banking
modernisation; Enabling Wealth Creation, focused on capital access, fintech
innovation, and financial tools for MSMEs; and Future of Finance [Viksit Bharat
2047], charting India&#039;s path toward AI-led institutions and a resilient
financial system aligned with the nation&#039;s 2047 vision.

A
central thread running through India Finance and Innovation Forum (IFIF) 2026
will be inclusive finance at scale, specifically how embedded finance, assisted
banking models, and digital infrastructure can meaningfully expand credit
access for MSMEs, rural entrepreneurs, and underserved populations. Discussions
will focus on practical mechanisms to deepen India&#039;s grassroots financial
ecosystem.

The
forum will also confront the frontier question facing India&#039;s banking sector:
what does it mean to build AI-led financial institutions? From vision to
execution, discussions will explore how AI can transcend incremental automation
to enable autonomous operations, forward-looking risk management, and genuinely
responsive customer engagement, redefining trust and efficiency across Indian
banking.

preferred destination for knee replacement surgery, attracting patients not
only from various parts of India but also from overseas.

Advancing Surgical Excellence with

replacement surgeries, ensuring improved accuracy, faster recovery, and
enhanced patient outcomes. His patient-centric approach, combined with surgical

strong patient trust.

Specialties: Now not only orthopedics, but our

Record-breaking achievement: In the last 2 years, we have made it
to the list of surgeons who have performed the most surgeries among all the top
surgeons in Gujarat.

Experience: Thousands of successful operations
and unwavering trust of patients.

Putting Surat on the Healthcare Map

Speaking at the award ceremony,
dignitaries acknowledged Dr. Sharma’s contribution in positioning Surat as an
emerging hub for advanced Knee replacement procedures. His consistent
performance and growing patient base have helped shift the perception of
Gujarat—particularly Surat—as a center capable of delivering world-class joint
replacement outcomes.

Dr. Sharma practices at The Clinic, Surat, where he continues to focus
on innovation, quality care, and expanding access to advanced Knee replacement
treatments.

Receiving the honour, Dr. Sharma
expressed gratitude to his patients, medical team, and mentors, stating that
the recognition strengthens his commitment to delivering ethical,
evidence-based, and technologically advanced Knee replacement care.

As Gujarat’s healthcare sector
continues to evolve, recognitions such as the Sandesh Healthcare Excellence
Award 2026 underscore the growing excellence within the state’s medical
community—and Dr. Manu Sharma’s emergence as a leading force in joint
replacement surgery.

<p>Adding to the star power, renowned producer Ekta Kapoor made a special appearance along with actress Wamiqa Gabbi to promote their upcoming film Bhooth Bangla. Their presence drew massive cheers from the crowd as fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the duo.

<p>The musical extravaganza continued with power-packed sets by DJ Tushar, DJ Rush, DJ Rahul, DJ Bhavin, DJ Mack, and DJ Sunny, who kept the momentum soaring throughout the day. The rain dance arena emerged as a major crowd favorite, with revelers celebrating under cascading showers and eco-friendly organic colors. Adding a traditional yet dynamic vibe, live Punjabi and Puneri dhol performances amplified the festive spirit and had everyone on their feet.</p>
<p>Beyond entertainment, Holi Splash – Season 7 continued its commitment to inclusivity and safe celebrations. The festival maintained a welcoming and secure environment, ensuring that people from all walks of life could come together and celebrate freely. Curated food stalls offering festive delicacies and refreshing beverages further enhanced the celebratory experience.</p>

return home.

contribution to support stranded passengers by securing genuinely special
discounted hotel rates and facilitating organized group charter solutions.

of 150 passengers or more return home safely and efficiently. I commend the
leadership of the UAE for ensuring public safety and implementing strong
measures to support residents and visitors. We are committed to complementing
those efforts by assisting affected travellers during this challenging period.
We look forward to stability and normalcy returning to the region soon.”

<title>GHR Lakshmi Urbanblocks LLP Takes Top Honour by Winning Realty+&amp;apos;Developer of the Year – Residential&amp;apos; Award 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad,
March 5, 2026 : GHR Lakshmi Urbanblocks Infra LLP has
been named Developer of the Year in the ‘Residential’ category at the 16th
Realty+ Conclave &amp; Excellence Awards, held recently in Hyderabad.
GHR Lakshmi Urbanblocks Infra LLP is a joint consortium by three established real
estate leaders with long-standing credibility in Hyderabad&#039;s development
landscape, GHR Infra, Lakshmi Infra, and Urbanblocks Realty. The recognition
was for their residential project, The Cascades Neopolis, a large-scale
luxury development in Neopolis, shaped through global collaboration and
specialist-led planning, bringing together international design and engineering
expertise, hospitality-grade services, and a wellness-first approach to create
a new benchmark for premium urban living in Hyderabad. Mr. Rohit Reddy Vangala,
Partner, accepted the award in person at Realty+ Conclave &amp; Excellence
Awards.

Spread
across 7.34 acres, The Cascades Neopolis represents a ₹3,169 crore
residential investment comprising 1,189 luxury residences including 3
and 4 BHK homes, 10 penthouses, and five towers rising to 63
storeys and 217 metres, among the tallest residential formats
in Hyderabad. The Developer of the Year – Residential category recognises a
developer that has demonstrated leadership and innovation in the design and
development of residential properties.

Why The
Cascades Neopolis Stood Out Among Many Other Impressive Projects

The
Cascades Neopolis stood out for its rare combination of scale, wellness
credentials, and depth of global expertise integrated into the project. It
is IGBC Platinum pre-certified and holds the distinction of being the world’s
largest and India’s first residential project to attain WELL Pre-Certification,
signalling a clear commitment to health-led living, indoor environmental
quality, and performance-driven design.

A
defining differentiator is the project’s “discipline-led” approach to luxury,
where architecture, structure, interiors, landscape, services, and technology
are treated as serious specialisations rather than add-ons. The project brings
in reputed global partners across these domains, shaping not only the skyline
impact, but also the day-to-day experience of residents.

Location
and Few Project Highlights

Located
in Neopolis, along Hyderabad’s Financial District corridor, The Cascades
Neopolis is positioned in one of the city’s most important premium growth
belts. The project is designed as a wellness-centric luxury community, where
architecture, landscape, services, technology, and interiors are integrated with
clarity and intent, aligned to evolving buyer expectations for healthier,
smarter, and more refined living. RERA approved (TS RERA No: P02400009538) with
HMDA Building Permission No: 003505/BP/HMDA/0728/SKP/2024, the project was
launched in June 2025 and is targeted for handover in March 2030.

Key
lifestyle infrastructure includes a 50,000+ sq ft clubhousespanning
eight floors, over 2 lakh+ sq ft of amenities across seven levels,
a six-acre car-free landscaped podium, and seven levels of parking.
Signature features include sky bridges connecting all five towers,
elevated sky lounge and sky garden experiences, two helipads, and
panoramic glass elevatorsdesigned to enhance both accessibility and
experience.

Realty+
Awards and Residential Category Criteria

The
Realty+ Conclave &amp; Excellence Awards is a marquee industry platform that
brings together prominent developers and real estate ecosystem leaders for a
day of knowledge sessions and market conversations, followed by an awards
ceremony recognising standout performers. The 2026 Hyderabad edition carried
the theme “Turning Dreams Into Reality,” featuring sessions on the road
ahead for real estate and an awards segment that celebrates excellence across
the sector.

As
part of the nomination requirements, entries must include project details as
per guidelines, and submissions typically require key compliance and execution
readiness markers, such as a RERA number, a commencement certificate, and
confirmation that construction has commenced. Within this framework, projects
are assessed on the strength of the overall residential proposition, including
planning and design thinking, innovation in delivery and experience, quality
and scale of development, sustainability and wellness intent, and clarity of
compliance and execution preparedness.

Mr.
Karteesh Reddy M, Designated Partner, GHR Lakshmi Urbanblocks Infra LLP
(representing GHR Infra) said, “Apart from the clear commercial logic and the
massive scope, our team aimed to invest in a development driven by our shared enthusiasm
for providing world-class housing amenities and experiences that have not been
witnessed before in Hyderabad.”

Mr.
Lakshmi Narayana G, Designated Partner, GHR Lakshmi Urbanblocks Infra LLP
(representing Lakshmi Infra) said, “This recognition further validates th ]]></description>

<title>From Colour Play to After&amp;Party Style, Holi looks from Myntra’s M&amp;Now that keep up with every plan</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/from-colour-play-to-after-party-style-holi-looks-from-myntras-m-now-that-keep-up-with-every-plan</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/from-colour-play-to-after-party-style-holi-looks-from-myntras-m-now-that-keep-up-with-every-plan</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Holi
is no longer just about playing with colours; it’s a full-day celebration that
unfolds as you go, often leading to impromptu catch-ups, spontaneous house
parties, and after-hours plans you didn’t see coming. With the day constantly
shifting gears, your wardrobe and beauty routine need to keep up. Right in the
midst of this festive rush, Myntra Birthday Blast brings together the best of
fashion, beauty, and occasion-ready styles. With Myntra’s M-Now, everything you
need, from colour-friendly outfits and skin-first prep to fresh post-play looks
and finishing touches, is delivered, starting just 30 minutes. Here’s how to
build a Holi-ready lineup that moves with you, from the first splash of colour
to the last plan of the evening.

Colour
Play Picks: Made to Get Messy, Styled to Stand Out

Holi
mornings are not for overthinking, they’re for showing up and diving right in.
Think oversized tees, breezy shirts, fusion kurtas, relaxed shorts, and
easy co-ord sets that move with you. Whites, ivories, and soft pastels make the
perfect base, letting the colours do all the talking. Add a pair of sliders or
beat-friendly sneakers, and you’ve got a look that’s equal parts effortless and
celebration-ready.

Afterparty
Outfits: Clean Slate, Fresh Energy

Once
the colours are off, the mood shifts, and so does your outfit. This is your
moment to reset and show up fresh. Flowy dresses, crisp kurtas, or easy ethnic fits bring in that
just-put-together vibe without trying too hard. Think light fabrics, clean
silhouettes, and fits that feel as good as they look, perfect for wherever the
day takes you next.

Pre
&amp; Post Holi Skincare: Prep Smart, Bounce Back Better

Holi
skincare is your quiet game-changer. A quick pre-play layer of moisturizer, sunscreen, and hair serum goes a
long way in protecting your skin and making clean-up easier later. Post-play,
it’s all about a gentle reset, think face cleansers, nourishing shampoos,
and hydrating body care. Add a calming mask or lip care, and you’re back to
feeling fresh, glowing, and ready for round two.



Footwear:
Start Easy, Then Step It Up

Your
footwear needs to match the chaos, and then the comeback. For colour play, keep
it simple with sliders, floaters, or sneakers. Once you’re done,
switch into fresh kicks, minimal flats, or low heels. It’s a small change that
instantly lifts your entire look and mood.

Accessories
&amp; Finishing Touches: Turn It All Around

This
layer is where everything comes together. Statement earrings, layered chains,
stacked bracelets, or a sleek watch can instantly elevate
even the simplest outfit. Throw on a sling bag, add a fresh fragrance or body mist, and
you’re good to go, from laid-back to party-ready in minutes.

With
Myntra’s M-Now deliveries starting in just 30 minutes, a wide,
celebration-ready selection across fashion, beauty, and accessories is always

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Holi is no longer just about playing with colours; it’s a full-day celebration that unfolds as you go, often leading to impromptu catch-ups, spontaneous house parties, and after-hours plans you didn’t see coming. With the day constantly shifting gears, your wardrobe and beauty routine need to keep up. Right in the midst of this festive rush, Myntra Birthday Blast brings together the best of fashion, beauty, and occasion-ready styles. With Myntra’s M-Now, everything you need, from colour-friendly outfits and skin-first prep to fresh post-play looks and finishing touches, is delivered, starting just 30 minutes.

<description><![CDATA[ The
season of celebrations is your moment to stand out and own the spotlight. From
rooftop dinners and house parties to festive gatherings and weekend getaways,
every plan calls for a look that delivers. With the ongoing Myntra Birthday
Blast, standout fashion and beauty essentials come together to help you show up
with confidence, individuality, and effortless glamour.

Make
an entrance: Looks that set the tone
Every great look starts with a strong first impression. Forever New, Mango, H&amp;M, and NEXT offer versatile, trend-first pieces perfect
across moods and settings. For women, think sleek dresses, elevated jumpsuits,
and breezy, feminine silhouettes that feel playful yet polished. For men, sharp
shirts, collared jackets, and well-fitted blazers paired with denims or
trousers strike the right balance between relaxed and refined. These pieces
take the look from expected to stand out.

Play
in colour: House of Pataudi picks for Holi-ready style
With Holi around the corner, House of Pataudi brings a versatile take
on festive dressing. For the day, women can opt for easy, breathable kurtas and relaxed sets in light tones, while
men can go for classic white or comfortable kurta sets that are perfect for
colour play and all-day ease. As celebrations move into the evening, women can
switch to more refined kurta sets or festive silhouettes, while men can elevate
their look with structured kurtas or
layered ethnic styles. It’s all about moving effortlessly from playful to
polished, without missing a beat on style.

Step
into the spotlight: Comet, Anouk &amp; Carlton London footwear
The right pair of shoes doesn’t just complete the outfit, it defines
it. Comet’s unisex
sneakers bring a bold, contemporary edge that works from day plans to
after-hours scenes. For something more classic, Manyavar loafers
deliver understated elegance, ideal for intimate gatherings and dressed-up
evenings. And for women looking to elevate their look, ALDO heels
add that perfect finishing lift with just the right amount of flair.

Finishing
touches: Desigual and Guess accessories that elevate the look
Accessories are where individuality truly comes alive. Desigual’s
vibrant, artistic designs in statement bags instantly add a
playful edge, while Guess delivers with classy watches, sleek reversible belts, and stylish slings
that elevate with ease. Whether you’re leaning into bold accents or keeping it
minimal, these pieces bring cohesion, character, and a distinct point of view
to your overall style.

Glow,
your way: Estée Lauder picks for celebration-ready skin
Great style begins with great skin. A mix of Estée Lauder’s high-performance
staples and Beauty of Joseon’s lightweight, skin-loving essentials makes it
easy to build a routine that works from day to night. Think Estée Lauder’s
advanced serums, rich moisturisers and
eye creams or Beauty of Joseon’s 
everyday heroes like the Relief Sun SPF50+, ginseng-infused serums and cleansing oils. Designed to work
across skin types, these picks deliver a healthy, radiant finish that looks
polished at every moment and photo-ready from the first click to the last.

Signature
scent: YSL favourites that leave a mark
A signature fragrance completes the experience, adding that final
layer of presence to your look. For women, YSL’s Libre stands
out with its bold yet elegant blend of lavender, orange blossom, and warm
vanilla, making it both expressive and effortlessly sophisticated. For men, YSL Y brings a fresh, modern edge with notes of
patchouli, geranium, and Juniper Berries, striking the perfect balance between
clean and intense. Whether you lean floral or woody, these fragrances add depth
to your style and linger long after the celebration ends.

With
Myntra Birthday Blast, every celebration finds its style moment. From statement
fashion and standout footwear to effortless beauty and signature scents, it’s
all about showing up looking and feeling your best, no matter the occasion. ]]></description>

<title>AONMeetings Launches India Operations, Six Businesses Evaluating Including $10 Billion Enterprise</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/aonmeetings-launches-india-operations-six-businesses-evaluating-including-10-billion-enterprise</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/aonmeetings-launches-india-operations-six-businesses-evaluating-including-10-billion-enterprise</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ MUMBAI
&amp; DES MOINES, IOWA – March, 2026 : AONMeetings, a bootstrap video conferencing platform
serving over 1,000 small businesses globally, today announced the launch of its
India operations at india.aonmeetings.com. The expansion marks the company&#039;s
first major international market focus, bringing enterprise-grade video
conferencing features to Indian organizations priced out by platforms like Zoom
and Microsoft Teams.

 

Within days of
launching, six Indian businesses are already evaluating the platform with
active demo accounts—including two large enterprises, one with over $10 billion
in annual revenue. The early response validates demand for professional video
conferencing at accessible price points across organizations of all sizes.

 

Addressing
the Underserved Market

 

AONMeetings enters
India, targeting a large, underserved segment: small businesses, SMBs, and
mid-market enterprises that need professional video conferencing features but
find premium platforms financially prohibitive. The platform offers pricing
starting at ₹179 per month—roughly 70-80% below comparable Zoom plans—while
including features competitors charge extra for or don&#039;t provide.

 

The platform&#039;s
architecture scales seamlessly from solo practitioners requiring a single seat
to large enterprises needing up to 100,000 seats, maintaining the same feature
set and browser-based simplicity across all deployment sizes.

 

&quot;We&#039;re not
competing for Fortune 500 accounts,&quot; said Dwight Reed, Founder and CEO of
AONMeetings. &quot;We&#039;re serving the thousands of Indian businesses that want
professional video conferencing but have been priced out. A solo doctor paying
₹2,600/month for telemedicine. A coaching institute that needs webinars but
can&#039;t afford ₹6,500/month extra licensing. That&#039;s a much bigger market, and
that&#039;s who we&#039;re built for.&quot;

 

Complete
Feature Set at Accessible Pricing

 

AONMeetings&#039; India&#039;s
pricing structure provides enterprise features across all tiers:

 

●      Starter Plan: ₹179/month

●      Professional Plan: ₹359/month 


●      Business Plan: ₹629/month

●      Enterprise Plan: ₹1,522/month

 

All plans include
unlimited meeting duration, AI-powered transcription and meeting summaries,
end-to-end encryption, HIPAA compliance, webinar hosting (up to 250
participants), team chat, HD video, screen sharing, recording, and breakout
rooms. No contracts required—cancel anytime with one click.

 

The platform scales
from solo practitioners (1 seat) to large enterprises requiring up to 100,000
seats, with the same browser-based architecture and feature set across all
deployment sizes.

 

Total Cost
of Ownership Advantage

 

The platform&#039;s value
proposition extends beyond per-seat pricing to total cost of ownership. For
example, a 100-employee organization needing webinar capabilities would pay:

 

●      AONMeetings: ₹35,900/month (webinars included)

●      Zoom: ₹9,10,000/month (₹2,600 base + ₹6,500 webinar license per user)

●      Monthly savings: ₹8,74,100 (~₹1.05 crore annually)

 

AONMeetings&#039;
browser-based architecture eliminates additional costs: no software deployment
cycles, no desktop client updates, no security patching overhead, and minimal
IT management. Users simply click a link and join meetings instantly—no
downloads required.

 

India
Market Infrastructure

 

AONMeetings has

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>MUMBAI &amp; DES MOINES, IOWA – March, 2026</span></b><span> <b>:</b> </span><a href="https://aonmeetings.com/"><b><span>AONMeetings</span></b></a><span>, a bootstrap video conferencing platform serving over 1,000 small businesses globally, today announced the launch of its India operations at india.aonmeetings.com. The expansion marks the company's first major international market focus, bringing enterprise-grade video conferencing features to Indian organizations priced out by platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Within days of launching, six Indian businesses are already evaluating the platform with active demo accounts—including two large enterprises, one with over $10 billion in annual revenue. The early response validates demand for professional video conferencing at accessible price points across organizations of all sizes.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Addressing the Underserved Market</span></b><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>AONMeetings enters India, targeting a large, underserved segment: small businesses, SMBs, and mid-market enterprises that need professional video conferencing features but find premium platforms financially prohibitive. The platform offers pricing starting at ₹179 per month—roughly 70-80% below comparable Zoom plans—while including features competitors charge extra for or don't provide.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The platform's architecture scales seamlessly from solo practitioners requiring a single seat to large enterprises needing up to 100,000 seats, maintaining the same feature set and browser-based simplicity across all deployment sizes.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>"We're not competing for Fortune 500 accounts," said Dwight Reed, Founder and CEO of AONMeetings. "We're serving the thousands of Indian businesses that want professional video conferencing but have been priced out. A solo doctor paying ₹2,600/month for telemedicine. A coaching institute that needs webinars but can't afford ₹6,500/month extra licensing. That's a much bigger market, and that's who we're built for."</span></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The platform's value proposition extends beyond per-seat pricing to total cost of ownership. For example, a 100-employee organization needing webinar capabilities would pay:</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>AONMeetings' browser-based architecture eliminates additional costs: no software deployment cycles, no desktop client updates, no security patching overhead, and minimal IT management.

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Early India Market Response</span></b><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Six Indian businesses are currently evaluating AONMeetings with active demo accounts, representing a cross-section of the platform's target market—from solo practitioners to mid-market companies. Notably, two of the evaluating organizations are large enterprises: one with over $10 billion in annual revenue, the other a 3,000-employee organization.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>"The enterprise interest is fascinating but not our core focus," said Reed. "Our target is the much larger market of small businesses and SMBs priced out of premium platforms—solo practitioners, small clinics, coaching institutes, professional services firms. But the fact that major enterprises are also evaluating us suggests the value proposition resonates across the spectrum."</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The six evaluating businesses span healthcare, education, and professional services sectors. While AONMeetings doesn't expect to convert all enterprise evaluations—large organizations often require extensive security audits and approval processes—the early interest validates that even organizations capable of affording premium pricing are questioning their total cost of ownership.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>"These aren't organizations that can't afford technology—they're smart buyers asking why they should pay 5-10x more for features they don't need," Reed explained. "That question resonates whether you're a solo practitioner or a $10 billion company."</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Strategic Fit for India</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Reed positions India as an ideal market for AONMeetings' value proposition. The country has a strong tradition of bootstrap software success stories (Zoho, Freshworks), value-conscious enterprise buyers, and rapid digital transformation across sectors. India's video conferencing market is projected to grow from $500 million in 2023 to over $1 billion by 2027, driven by telehealth, remote education, and hybrid work adoption.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>"India invented jugaad—doing more with less," Reed noted. "But this isn't about cheap solutions. It's about smart architecture that delivers enterprise value without enterprise pricing. We think that resonates strongly in this market."</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Feature Focus Over Feature Bloat</span></b><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>AONMeetings has deliberately avoided the feature bloat common in enterprise software, focusing instead on capabilities small businesses and SMBs actually use daily.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>"Enterprise platforms offer 200 features and most users touch 20," Reed explained. "We focus on those 20 and do them exceptionally well. That's how we enable our economics while maintaining quality. AI transcription, meeting summaries, webinars, team chat, security, HIPAA compliance—the features that matter for professional use."</span></p>

<title>TP&amp;Link India Receives Coveted BIS&amp;ER Certification for its VIGI Line of Cameras</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
3rd March 2026 : TP-Link India, a subsidiary of US-based
TP-Link Systems Inc, today announced a landmark update for its VIGI line of
security cameras. The company said that its two key models, VIGI C340 and VIGI
C440, have successfully achieved the Government of India’s mandatory BIS-ER
certification.

This
makes TP-Link India one of the few companies in India making security cameras
that have achieved this vital certification, underlining the cutting-edge
technology employed in their manufacturing and their advanced security
features.

The
BIS-ER certification, a stringent, process-linked certification, involves
testing of not only the product, but it complete supply chain, components,
software to the core. TP-Link India joins a select list with its VIGI security
cameras having achieved this standard.

Both,
the C340 and the C440, come with a range of high-tech features. The VIGI C340,
an outdoor full-colour bullet network camera, provides clear and colourful
details even in pitch darkness. It enables maximum 4MP resolutions and ensures
colourful monitoring with its large-aperture lens, high-sensitivity sensor, and
attached supplemental lights.

VIGI
C440 is a 4MP full-colour Turret Network Camera, with a ‘Human’ and ‘Traffic’
classification for easier detection and smart detection that actively detects
abnormal activities. It also comes equipped with two-way audio to carry out
conversations while watching your feed from anywhere and the industry standard
H.265+ for video compression, taking up less storage space. ]]></description>

<title>Xtranet Technologies Secures Major Role in INR 108.77 Crore Consortium Win for Haryana’s Banking Modernization</title>

<description><![CDATA[ BHOPAL | March 03, 2026 : Xtranet Technologies Private Limited has reached a landmark
milestone in the digital financial infrastructure space. As a pivotal member
of a strategic consortium, the company has secured a massive ₹108.77
crore contract to modernize the core banking systems across the state of
Haryana.

Selected under NABARD’s national RFP framework, the consortium
with Xtranet at the helm of technical execution will spearhead the digital
overhaul for The Haryana State Co-operative Apex Bank Ltd (HARCO Bank)
and its network of 19 District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCBs).

Digital
Transformation at Scale: 615 Branches

The mandate is one of the largest of its kind in the cooperative
banking sector. Representing the total order value for the consortium,
the project covers a sprawling network of 615 branches. Xtranet’s
specialized role involves migrating the entire ecosystem from the legacy
Finacle 7.x platform to the state-of-the-art Finacle 10.2.25.

The project is a total infrastructure modernization, with the
contract encompassing:

●      Comprehensive Data Migration: Moving millions of records with zero downtime.

●      5-Year Managed Services: Operating under the ASP (Application Service Provider) model
to ensure long-term stability.

●      Mission-Critical Deadline: Full migration is scheduled for completion by August 31,
2026.

From
Service Provider to Infrastructure Platform

This win signals a strategic pivot for Xtranet within the
consortium framework. While many IT vendors focus on short-term projects,
Xtranet is positioning itself as a Banking Infrastructure Platform Company.

By operating within the mission-critical layers of the banking
ecosystem—handling core platforms, regulatory compliance, and transaction
resilience Xtranet has moved from being a traditional vendor to a &quot;partner
in sovereignty&quot; for India&#039;s financial institutions.

&quot;This
isn&#039;t just about code; it’s about the resilience of the financial system,&quot;
a company spokesperson noted. &quot;By modernizing the core architecture of 20
banks simultaneously as part of this consortium, we are ensuring that the rural
and cooperative banking sectors in Haryana have the same digital firepower as
the biggest private players in the country.&quot;

Strategic
Financial Impact

The ₹108.77 crore total contract value significantly strengthens
Xtranet’s order book visibility for the next half-decade. The inclusion of five
years of managed services ensures a steady, predictable revenue stream while
reinforcing the company’s reputation for delivering complex, large-scale
government and semi-government mandates alongside its consortium partners.

As the August 2026 deadline approaches, all eyes will be on
Xtranet as they execute one of the most ambitious cooperative banking upgrades
in recent Indian history. ]]></description>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Rajkot</strong>: India stands at the forefront of the world’s youngest democracies; therefore, institutions are positioning youth participation as a matter of national priority and democratic resilience. Amid this accelerating momentum, Marwadi University successfully concluded its Youth &amp; Democracy Conference 2026 on the theme “Bridging Participation and Power”. </p>
<p>A key highlight of the second day, centered on the theme “Youth, Power and Democratic Renewal in the 21st Century”, was the keynote address by Shri Parshottam Rupala, Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha, Rajkot). He reflected on “Youth, Rajkot, and a Life in Democratic Politics,” offering personal and political insights into sustained public service and the evolving role of youth in electoral democracy. </p>
<p>This was followed by a fireside chat featuring Devyani Devender Singh Rana, Member of Legislative Assembly, Jammu and Kashmir, who discussed leadership in one of India’s most strategic regions and examined generational transition, political responsibility, and youth representation in state politics. Paul Dangshu, MLA from Tripura, highlighted youth leadership emerging from India’s northeastern region.</p>
<p>The primary objective of the two-day conference was to critically analyze the severe underrepresentation of youth in formal political systems both in India and globally. It aimed to identify the institutional barriers preventing youth entry into politics, explore the transition from grassroots and campus activism to formal policymaking, and propose actionable solutions ranging from digital toolkits to structural policy reforms to enhance meaningful civic engagement among the younger generation.</p>
<p>Mr Jeet Marwadi, Trustee, Marwadi University, shared, “While the youth are highly active in digital spaces, campus activism, and grassroots protests, they remain systematically locked out of formal legislative bodies. This two-day event resulted in the recognition of structural barriers limiting youth participation, the need for administrative and technological reforms, the importance of local governance as a site of renewal, and the growing interconnectedness of youth politics across borders. We always aim to move beyond symbolic conversations and focus on structural reforms. “</p>
<p>The conference featured insightful discussions on topics including The Crisis of Representation and Systemic Barriers, Civic Education and Political Socialization, Marginalized Voices: Tribal Governance and Women in Politics, Digital Politics, Strategy, and International Activism, Global Demographics, Climate, and Policy Innovations, Future Outlook: Suffrage and Post-Protest Actions.</p>
<p>Organized in collaboration with Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung India and the Centre for Youth Policy, the conference brought together scholars, policymakers, administrators, student leaders, and international experts to deliberate on the future of youth participation in democratic systems.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<description><![CDATA[ In
a massive win for India’s deep-tech ecosystem, fabless semiconductor innovator VerveSemi
has officially closed a $10 million Series A funding round.

Led
by ace investor Ashish Kacholia and Unicorn India Ventures, and
strategically architected by Six Stone Capital, this investment marks
VerveSemi’s evolution from a high-tier R&amp;D powerhouse to a global product
leader.

The
&quot;Brains&quot; Inside the Machines

VerveSemi
isn&#039;t just making chips; they are designing ML-enhanced analog signal chain
ICs. These high-precision components are the critical &quot;nervous
system&quot; for the technology of tomorrow:

●     
Aerospace &amp; Space:
Already validated by marquee orders from leading space organizations.

●     
Smart Energy:
Driving efficiency in next-gen power grids.

●     
 Industrial Automation:
Powering the future of high-precision motor control.

The
Global Roadmap

With
10+ patents already in their arsenal, the new capital is earmarked for three
aggressive goals:


 Mass Production:
     Moving their ML-enabled portfolio into high-volume manufacturing.
 Global Footprint: Deepening their go-to-market presence in the United States
     and strategic Asian markets.
 Next-Gen IP:
     Investing in the next wave of precision architectures.


&quot;This
funding allows us to move from technology validation to large-scale
deployment,&quot; says Rakesh Malik, Co-founder &amp;
CEO. &quot;It reinforces our conviction that world-class semiconductor
innovation can originate from India.&quot;

The
Bottom Line

As
Ankit Mittal (Managing Partner, Six Stone Capital) puts it, VerveSemi
represents the &quot;pinnacle of Indian deep-tech engineering.&quot; By bridging
the gap between Indian ingenuity and global markets, VerveSemi is officially
the one to watch in the semiconductor space. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
March 02, 2026 : The much-anticipated MCHI Premier League
Season 12, hosted by CREDAI-MCHI, the apex body of real estate developers in
the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), concluded on a high note with a
spectacular Mega Finale at Police Gymkhana, Marine Lines. The tournament
brought together eight competitive teams from the real estate fraternity,
delivering days of thrilling cricket, camaraderie, and sportsmanship.

After
a series of intense matches, Team Lalani emerged victorious, winning the MPL
Season 12 title by 3 wickets and lifting the coveted trophy. Satyapal Choudhary
was named Man of the Match for his outstanding performance in the grand finale.
The occasion was attended by several distinguished guests, including Rushi
Mehta, Secretary; Shailesh Sanghvi, Sports Convener; and Keval Valambhia, COO
from CREDAI-MCHI, along with actor Rajpal Yadav, actress Aditi Shetty, and
international model Pria Lalita, adding to the celebratory atmosphere.

With
each edition, the MCHI Premier League has evolved beyond a sporting competition
into a platform that strengthens collaboration within the real estate community
while advancing meaningful social impact through sport.

Sharing
his thoughts on the successful conclusion of the league, Sukhraj Nahar,
President of CREDAI-MCHI, said, “The MCHI Premier League has grown into a
powerful symbol of unity within our fraternity. Season 12 has once again
demonstrated how sport can bring people together while creating meaningful
opportunities for young talent. Supporting emerging cricketers through our CSR
initiatives reflects our belief in giving back and contributing to the future
of the game.”

Rushi
Mehta, Secretary, CREDAI-MCHI, added, “The energy and participation we
witnessed this season have been truly remarkable. MPL continues to strengthen
professional relationships while reinforcing teamwork, discipline, and social
responsibility. We are proud to see the league grow in scale and impact each
year.”

Shailesh
Sanghvi, Sports Convener, CREDAI-MCHI, commented, “Season 12 showcased
outstanding cricketing talent and competitive spirit across all eight teams. At
the same time, our continued focus on nurturing young cricketers makes this
league truly meaningful. MPL is not just about winning matches—it is about
building a legacy that inspires future champions.”

Reinforcing
its commitment to social responsibility, this year’s CSR initiatives focused on
nurturing young cricketing talent and supporting community welfare. CREDAI-MCHI
extended training support to promising young cricketers Raj Kumar and Komal at
Victory Cricket Academy. The organisation also presented a cheque of ₹2,01,000
to Mumbai Mobile Creches to support the welfare and care of construction
workers’ children.

Powered
by RR Kabel and supported by media partner Times Property, MPL Season 12 once
again demonstrated how sport, community engagement, and social responsibility
can come together to create lasting impact.

With
another successful edition concluded, the MCHI Premier League continues to
strengthen its legacy as a premier corporate cricket tournament—one that
celebrates excellence on the field while making a meaningful difference beyond
it.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, India :  Trsna, one of India’s fastest‑growing premium condiment brands,
announced a collaboration with MasterChef Shipra Khanna as Brand Ambassador and
Gastronomy Advisor. With her culinary expertise, Trsna strengthens its mission
of preserving regional food heritage while innovating for modern,
health‑conscious consumers, thus marking a significant milestone in the
company’s national and global growth strategy.

Founded in
2023, Trsna (derived from
the Sanskrit word for “craving”) operates an FSSAI-licensed facility and
partners with artisans to craft small-batch, naturally fermented, probiotic-rich
condiments. Free from artificial colours and flavours, the products blend
time-honoured techniques with contemporary nutritional science, supporting gut
health, aiding digestion, and delivering authentic regional
nutrition.  

The brand has rapidly
expanded its footprint across India and international e-commerce markets. Its products are available online
via Amazon India &amp; USA, Flipkart, JioMart, and the TRSNA Foods website, and
offline across 250+ premium lifestyle retail outlets including Food Square and
Bombay Gourmet Market. In the HoReCa segment, TRSNA partners with luxury
hospitality leaders such as Taj Mahal Palace &amp; Towers and Radisson Hotel
Mumbai Goregaon, among other premium establishments.

The brand has also
showcased it’s first range of Products – Gourmet Artisanal Pickles – at
prominent industry and cultural platforms including Hotel Restaurants &amp;
Catering Business at Jio World, Jain Food &amp; Lifestyle Festival, Gujarati
Food Festival, and is set to participate at AAHAR New Delhi 2026.

With over 50
handcrafted condiments from nine states of India, Trsna now plans to expand
into Heritage Pantry Essentials—wild honey, A2 ghee, nut butters, fruit
preserves, papads, and more—curating nostalgic yet contemporary experiences.

As TRSNA continues to
scale across retail, HoReCa and global markets, the brand remains committed to
sustainable sourcing, artisan partnerships, and delivering premium,
health-forward Indian condiments to consumers worldwide.

“Trsna Pickles
represent the depth of India’s regional culinary heritage, crafted the
traditional way for today’s global gourmet palate, I am excited to
collaborate with a brand that honours authenticity while embracing innovation.”
said Celebrity MasterChef Shipra Khanna.  

 “The brand is
beyond food—it’s about nostalgia, memories from home, and reconnecting with our
cultural roots,” adds Terence David, Founder, Trsna Foods.  

“We are not just
preserving tradition — we are elevating it. TRSNA is building a new global
category where heritage, health and gourmet excellence converge. Our collaboration
with Chef Shipra Khanna marks a decisive step in scaling gut-friendly gourmet
across international markets,” said Freejo Francis, Co-Founder, Trsna

<description><![CDATA[ India is
facing a sharp rise in end of life vehicles. Around 10 million vehicles were
classified as end of life in 2020. This number is expected to reach nearly 23
million by 2025 and close to 50 million by 2030, as highlighted by NITI Aayog
in its report on the circular economy of end of life vehicles.

 

Old
vehicles are not only inefficient. They are also unsafe and highly polluting.
Vehicles manufactured before BS VI norms can emit up to eight times more
pollution compared to newer vehicles. At the same time, end of life vehicles
contain valuable materials. It is estimated that nearly 98 million tonnes of
steel can be recovered from vehicles manufactured between 2005 and 2023. This
recovery could save around 43 million metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent
emissions.

 

The
issue is not small. It is national in scale.

 

NITI
Aayog Identified the Core Gaps in the System

 

The
vehicle scrappage policy did not emerge in isolation. NITI Aayog identified key
gaps slowing down India’s transition to a formal scrappage system. The report
pointed to four main challenges:

 

-
Limited rollout of Automated Testing Stations and Registered Vehicle Scrapping
Facilities

- Weak
financial viability of formal scrapping centres

-
Procedural bottlenecks in deregistration and scrapping

- Low
consumer awareness

 

At the
same time, informal scrappers were offering higher immediate payments. In many
cases, vehicle owners were receiving ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 more from informal
channels compared to formal scrapping facilities. This created a strong price
gap.

 

The
report made it clear that enforcement alone would not solve the problem.
Incentives and digital tools were necessary.

 

Government
Incentives Are Designed to Make Scrapping Attractive

 

India’s
vehicle scrappage policy provides a mix of national and state-level incentives,
but the exact financial benefit depends on where the new vehicle is registered.

 

The
Central Government recommends road tax rebates of up to 25 percent for
personal vehicles and 15 percent for commercial vehicles,
and several states such as Karnataka, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Bihar,
Rajasthan, and Haryana broadly follow these levels.

 

However,
some states apply lower or different structures. For example, Uttar Pradesh
offers 15 percent for personal vehicles and 10 percent for commercial
vehicles, while Maharashtra has implemented a flat 10 percent
rebate across categories. This makes the total savings variable rather
than uniform across India.

 

To
target the most polluting vehicles, a newer provision allows up to 50
percent road tax concession for BS-I and pre-2002 vehicles in states
that have adopted the enhanced benefit, with Madhya Pradesh among the early
adopters.

 

In
addition to road tax rebates, vehicle owners receive:


 Scrap value of roughly
     4 to 6 percent of the new vehicle’s ex-showroom price 
 100 percent waiver of
     registration fees for
     the replacement vehicle (national benefit) 
 OEM discount typically
     equal to 1.5 percent of the ex-showroom price or up to ₹20,000 for
     passenger vehicles, with higher percentages for commercial
     vehicles 


 

Because
these components are cumulative, the total consumer benefit can be materially
higher in states offering the full rebate and for older, more polluting
vehicles.

 

Digital
Marketplaces Help Close the Timing and Price Gap

 

One of
the main challenges identified under the Voluntary Vehicle Fleet Modernisation
Programme and India’s Vehicle Scrappage Policy was the lack of liquidity for
Certificates of Deposit and limited price transparency. Vehicle owners often
faced a gap between scrapping their old vehicle and purchasing a new one.

 

MMCM’s DigiELV functions as a Ministry of
Road Transport and Highways authorized online marketplace for trading
Certificates of Deposit. It is integrated with the VAHAN platform. The system verifies
transactions and issues transfer certificates instantly to buyers.

 

The
platform operates on a bid-based model. Participants can negotiate and trade
certificates across vehicle categories. This allows the market to determine
prices instead of relying on fixed or unclear valuations.

 

Policy
data shows 71,196 Certificate of Deposit trades with an average trade price of
₹10,634 across categories. This indicates real usage and active participation.

Trading
of Certificates of Deposit through the platform reduces the time gap between
scrapping a vehicle and purchasing a new one. It allows vehicle owners to
realise value even if they do not immediately buy another vehicle.

 

This
trading mechanism by MMCM majorly incentivises
formal scrapping channels and strengthens the objectives of India’s Vehicle
Scrappage Policy.

<description><![CDATA[ NewsReach
brings you unfiltered stories from professionals shaping the world of branding
through its series Brand Ki Baat.

In
today’s business environment, success is not driven by product alone. It is
shaped by how clearly a company articulates its vision, how consistently it
delivers on its promises, and how strategically it positions itself in a
dynamic market. Whether it is a founder managing investor expectations or a
manufacturer expanding globally, clarity of message and discipline in execution
are the true differentiators. Businesses that endure are those that balance
operational excellence with compelling storytelling ensuring their value is not
only created but also perceived.

Welcome
to Crafting Bharat: Brand Ki Baat – Mumbai Edition, where we explore
brands, businesses, and the leaders building them from the inside out. In this
insightful episode, host Kartik Chawla sits down with Rahul Kamdar,
Founder of RK Consultancy, and Vijay Sanghavi, MD &amp; CFO at Ratnaveer
Precision Engineering. Together, they discuss the intersection of
communication, manufacturing, leadership, and long-term strategy.

This series is proudly
brought to you by NewsReach, India’s leading PR-tech platform, with
Production Partner HT Smartcast; Gifting Partner Nanaji Natural and Beauty
Partner Lakme Academy. Tune in for stories, insights, and inspiration!

Excerpts

What gap
did you identify while establishing your PR consultancy, and how did you
address it?

Rahul
Kamdar: “I observed a significant gap between what
management intended to communicate and what ultimately reached the media.
Corporate communication teams would receive one message, which would then pass
through multiple layers, and somewhere along the way, the original intent would
get diluted.

Having
worked closely with both media and PR firms, I understood how crucial it is to
preserve the core narrative of a company. Founders are experts in their
businesses, but they may not always know how to communicate their story
strategically. My role became about bridging that gap and ensuring the message
reaching the public reflected the leadership’s true vision. Over time, this
clarity in communication helped build trust and long-term client
relationships.”

How did
Ratnaveer Precision Engineering begin, and what drove its initial growth?

Vijay
Sanghavi: “I was clear at the age of 21 that I wanted to
build a manufacturing company. My focus was on designing high-value,
competitive, and complex products for global markets.

We
began with stainless steel washers, a highly competitive segment. From the
beginning, we focused on engineering excellence, backward integration, and
uncompromising quality. Today, we serve customers in more than 31 countries,
including Germany, the US, and the UK.

Winning
the trust of our first German client was a proud milestone. We were transparent
about what we could and could not do. That honesty led to our first order—and
that client has remained with us for 25 years.”

How does
brand communication differ across industries, especially in sectors facing
challenges?

Rahul
Kamdar: “Market sentiment plays a major role in
communication. When a sector is performing well, the media is naturally more
receptive. However, when an industry is facing challenges, even well-crafted
announcements can be difficult to place.

In
such cases, framing becomes critical. The narrative must be shaped in a way
that makes it relevant and compelling. Sometimes, that means helping
journalists see the broader perspective and long-term value. Over time,
companies have begun to understand this better. PR was once viewed as a cost;
today, it is seen as an investment. The right exposure builds perception—and
perception unlocks value.”

As
Ratnavir expands globally, what is your growth strategy for the future?

Vijay
Sanghavi: “We are now focusing on acquisitions and inorganic
growth. While we have built strong internal capabilities, acquisitions allow us
to scale faster.

Organic
growth takes time, but strategic acquisitions accelerate expansion. We
understand our markets, technology, and customer expectations. Acquiring
companies with complementary capabilities will help us grow more quickly and
create greater value.

It
took us 25 years to reach the ₹1,000 crore milestone. With the right strategy,
we are confident that reaching ₹10,000 crore will take significantly less time.”

In today’s
fast-moving media landscape, when should companies speak—and when should they
remain silent?

Rahul
Kamdar: “Companies should communicate—but not
constantly. They are not in the business of promotion; they are in the business
of value creation.

Timing
and relevance are everything. When there is a significant development—such as a
strategic acquisition, a major order, or an industry shift—that is  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ March 2nd, 2026 : Smallest AI, a
leading provider of next-generation Voice AI models, today announced a
collaboration with AI Grants India (AIGI) to provide free access to
Smallest’s state-of-the-art Voice AI infrastructure for thousands of
early-stage builders across India.



Through this initiative,
developers, students, hacker houses, and early-stage founders supported by AI
Grants India will gain direct access to Smallest AI’s advanced Voice AI models,
enabling them to build conversational agents, voice-native applications, AI
copilots, multilingual assistants, and next-generation human-computer
interfaces without infrastructure or cost barriers.

Smallest AI’s goal is clear: unleash
voice AI creativity from India to the world. 

AI Grants India, co-founded by Bhasker
Kode and Vaibhav Domkundwar, is India’s first large-scale AI-focused
nonprofit designed to remove the number one barrier facing ambitious builders:
access. AIGI provides free inference and API access to premium AI models for
hackathons, indie developers, students, and idea-stage startups.

In just a few months, AIGI has:

Enabled 1,500+ active
builders

Supported 100+ idea-stage AI
startups

Facilitated 1B+ tokens
across platforms such as OpenAI and Anthropic

Partnered with leading
institutions including IITs, BITS Pilani, IIIT Hyderabad, and Network School

Helped launch emerging startups
such as Mindloop, Pulse, Mixio, Embedr, Kenesis, Zuve Studio, and 45D AI

With Smallest AI’s Voice AI
capabilities now available through AIGI, builders can experiment with speech
synthesis, multilingual voice agents, voice-first SaaS tools, and AI-native
call automation without worrying about API pricing or deployment constraints.



“Voice will be one of the most important
interfaces of the AI era, especially in a country as linguistically diverse as
India,” said Sudarshan Kamath, Founder and CEO, Smallest AI. “By working with
AI Grants India, we are ensuring that the most ambitious early builders in
India can experiment with and deploy state-of-the-art Voice AI from day one.”

Over the next 12 to 18 months, the collaboration aims
to:

●       
Expand access to Voice AI models
across 100+ hackathons and campus programs

●       
Enable thousands of developers
to build voice-native applications

●       
Support early validation of
voice-first startups emerging from AIGI

●       
Showcase real-world use cases
built on Smallest AI infrastructure

“India’s next wave of AI innovation will
not just be text-based. It will be multimodal and voice-native,” said Bhasker
Kode, Co-founder of AI Grants India. “Smallest AI’s support allows our builders
to experiment freely with cutting-edge voice technology and accelerate from
idea to working product.”



This initiative reflects a
broader shift toward making foundational AI infrastructure accessible at the
earliest stages of experimentation. By bringing Voice AI directly to
hackathons, student labs, and indie developers, Smallest AI is helping
cultivate the next generation of AI-native founders across India.

About Smallest AI

Smallest AI builds
state-of-the-art Voice AI models and infrastructure that enable developers and
enterprises to deploy scalable, multilingual, human-like voice interfaces. The
company’s mission is to make advanced voice technology accessible and
programmable for the AI-native future.

Kode and Vaibhav Domkundwar, AI Grants India Foundation is India’s first
large-scale AI-focused nonprofit aimed at providing inference, infrastructure,
grants, and resources to unlock India’s next generation of AI builders. AIGI’s
free, frictionless API access has already enabled billions of tokens in usage

<title>BEYOND THE WATERGUNS: 3 LIFE LESSONS YOUR KIDS CAN LEARN FROM PRAHLAD THIS HOLI BY KARISHMA</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/beyond-the-waterguns-3-life-lessons-your-kids-can-learn-from-prahlad-this-holi-by-karishma</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ We often talk about Prahlad as a
story of a miracle, but for anyone who has had to stand their ground against a
rigged system, it&#039;s a story of pure endurance. It is a master class, when a
child&#039;s quiet faith meets a world that demands to break him. Prahlad did not
survive the fire because of a magic trick, he survived because his devotion was
more solid than the flames around him. In 2026, our children face ‘fires’ of a
different kind - peer pressure, digital mobs, and the constant temptation to
take the easy shortcut. If we want to raise children who are truly ‘fireproof’
we have to look closer to how Prahlad built his Internal Armor through
unwavering faith.

1. Teaching value over Status

King Hiranyakashyap spent his life
chasing a ‘boon’ to make him invincible. He believed that having the right
status, the right connections, and the right ‘protection’ meant he couldn&#039;t
lose. But he forgot that a boon is a borrowed shield. It only works as long as
the conditions are right.

Let’s teach our children that being
‘popular’ or having ‘clout’ is a borrowed coat. It doesn&#039;t actually keep you
warm, it just hides who you are. So, the next time you see your child feeling
low by seeing someone getting ahead of them by using ‘who they know’ we can
explain to them the importance of status and integrity. Status is a boon it can
be taken away while integrity is a muscle memory once you build it, it&#039;s yours
forever.

 

2. The power of Endurance and unshakable calm: 

The most powerful part of Prahlad&#039;s
story was that he refused to react. While the king was a storm of anger and
ego, Prahlad was a calm ocean of faith and devotion. He did not shout to be
powerful but his calmness was his strength. Response is a choice, reaction is a
trap. We can teach our children that getting angry back at someone usually
means they have won control over your emotions.

Next time your child faces a high
pressure situation where someone is being bossy or unfair they don&#039;t have to
scream to win. Anger is a fire that needs your reaction to stay alive. By being
calm and steady, they will starve the fire until it has no choice but to go
out.

 

3. Narasimha: Faith activates
Protection: 

When things were at their absolute
worst, Prahlad&#039;s faith activated the divine. Lord Vishnu appeared from a plain
stone pillar as Narasimha Bhagwan - half-lion half-man. He proved that
help doesn&#039;t always come from the sky, it can burst out of a stone if your
faith is steady. Let’s teach our kids that when they stand up for what is
right, the entire universe is on their side. Help might come from a teacher, a
new friend or a sudden change in luck- but it will come.

 

Holika’s Mirror 

When we look at the fire of Holi, we
often focus on the miracle of Prahlad, but we should also look closely at the
failure of Holika (Prahlad&#039;s aunt). She entered the flames wrapped in a boon
that she believed made her untouchable to fire but her intentions were to harm
Prahlad. The wind shifted, the boon flew away and she got burnt into ashes. The
most vital lesson we can share with our children: 

The Illusion of the ‘BOON’: In today&#039;s world the boon is often social status,
unfair connections or temporary safety. These things look like armor but they
are as thin as Holika’s boon. They only work when conditions are perfect.

 

This Holi, let&#039;s remind our children
, the mud world throws at you eventually dries and falls off, but the color of
your character stays forever. We celebrate the Prahlad in our children - the
ones who know that you don&#039;t need a ‘boon’ to be safe when you have a soul that
is fireproof. ‘Let the fire take the shadows, we are here for the light’.

<description><![CDATA[ Kerala
has scripted a new chapter in global literary history with the launch of the MADISM
DIGITAL LITERATURE FESTIVAL 2026- MDLF 2026—
positioned as Asia’s first and largest fully digital e-literature festival.
Officially inaugurated on February 26, the four-day digital cultural summit
marks a transformative milestone in the evolution of literary engagement in the
21st century.

Organised
by MADISM DIGITAL | MADISM DIGITAL  a Kerala-headquartered new-age Malayalam
digital news platform, the inaugural edition of MDLF was held from February 26
to March 1 and streamed exclusively through the platform’s official social
media channels.

With
over 40 carefully curated sessions and more than 1 lakh live viewership across
the four days, the festival set a new benchmark for digital literary gatherings
in Asia. The overwhelming response from audiences across India and the global
Malayali diaspora reaffirmed the growing demand for meaningful intellectual
discourse in digital spaces.

Asia’s
First &amp; Largest Fully Digital E-Literature Festival

The
Madism Digital E-Literature Festival distinguishes itself as Asia’s first and
largest e-literature festival conducted entirely in a digital format. By
eliminating geographical barriers and leveraging the power of technology, MDLF
democratizes access to high-quality literary and cultural conversations for
audiences worldwide.

Unlike
conventional literary festivals limited by physical venues, MDLF redefines
literary engagement by creating a borderless, inclusive, and globally
accessible platform rooted in Malayalam language and culture.

A
Confluence of Influential Voices

The
festival brought together an extraordinary lineup of contemporary thinkers and
creative leaders from literature, cinema, science, politics, music,
environment, and human rights — many of whom have significantly shaped modern
discourse. 

Prominent
participants included:

Benyamin,
Kalpetta Narayanan, V. J. James, T. D. Ramakrishnan, Lijeesh Kumar, Francis
Noronha, Santhosh Echikkanam, Murukan Kattakkada, U. K. Kumaran, M. Swaraj,
Harish Vasudevan, Sunil P. Ilayidom, Unni Balakrishnan, Anto Augustine, Ethiran
Kathiravan, P. K. Rajasekharan, N. Prasanth IAS, Krishand, Gowri Lekshmi, M.
Jayachandran.

Through
these thought-provoking sessions, MDLF established itself as a forward-looking
intellectual platform deeply rooted in contemporary realities while embracing
global digital transformation.

A
Symbolic Logo Launch on Valentine’s Day

The
MDLF logo was unveiled on February 14 (Valentine’s Day), symbolically drawing
inspiration from evocative lines on love penned by departed literary legends.
The gesture represented a powerful blend of emotional legacy and digital
innovation — honouring the past while stepping boldly into the future.

CEO
Speaks: A Digital Literary Revolution

Speaking
about the historic launch, Suneesh S, Founder &amp; CEO of Madism Digital,
said:

●       
“MDLF is not just a festival; it is the
beginning of a digital literary revolution from Kerala to the world. At a time
when content consumption is rapidly shifting online, literature too deserves a
powerful global digital stage. By positioning MDLF as Asia’s first and largest
fully digital e-literature festival, we are creating a truly borderless
platform where ideas, creativity, and cultural dialogue can thrive without
physical limitations.

This
is only the first edition. Our vision is to expand globally — bringing
international writers, thinkers, and cultural leaders into future editions —
and transforming MDLF into one of the world’s most influential digital literary
movements.”

Madism
Digital’s Rapid Rise

In
a remarkably short span, Madism Digital has emerged as a dynamic Malayalam
digital media platform with strong audience engagement across social media
ecosystems. In January 2026, the platform further strengthened its footprint
with the launch of its official news website, reinforcing its role in shaping
Kerala’s evolving digital journalism landscape.

Headquartered
in Kerala, Madism Digital envisions MDLF as an annual global digital cultural
summit, with future editions expected to feature international authors,
cross-border collaborations, multilingual sessions, and a significantly
expanded global audience base.

<title>&amp;apos;India is Central to SKF’s Next Industrial Chapter&amp;apos;&amp; Joakim Landholm</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
28 February 2026 :
As India accelerates its industrial growth cycle, SKF, a global leader in
technology and engineering solutions is sharpening its focus on enabling the
sectors that form the backbone of the country’s economy- energy, railways,
steel and heavy industries.

 

Speaking
during his visit to India, Joakim Landholm, Senior Vice President, Global
Commercial &amp; Operations, SKF Group, underscored that India’s infrastructure
expansion, rail modernization and renewable energy push align directly with SKF
Industrial’s global strengths.

 

“India
is more than a growth market. It is a strategic hub for future-ready industrial
development,” he
noted. “Our sole aim is to help customers scale faster, operate more
reliably and transition sustainably.”

 

SKF’s
India Industrial strategy is anchored in application-led engineering, advanced
manufacturing and resilient supply chains designed to support accelerating
industrial demand. Sustainability is embedded at the core of operations - from
low-carbon steel sourcing and circular material practices to advanced
sensor-enabled bearings built for integrated renewable energy players. SKF’s
facilities in India already source more than 98% renewable energy and some of
them are certified water positive, reinforcing the company’s commitment to
responsible manufacturing while demonstrating strong sustainability
progress.  

 

Landholm’s
visit to India comes in the backdrop of the major announcement of developing a
new greenfield manufacturing facility in Pune, backed by an investment of ₹653
crore. The facility will serve rising industrial demand and strengthen SKF’s
localization roadmap, deepening India’s role in its global supply network.

 

Highlighting
partnerships, Landholm said, “SKF exists to solve the
critical challenges that powers a country’s growth. Our partners see us not
just as suppliers, but as long-term collaborators delivering forward-looking
solutions. This trust is built on over a century of customer-centric innovation
and dedication of our teams who continuously push boundaries to deliver clean,
intelligent solutions. Our commitment remains to deepen these partnerships and
shared ambition to solve for the next generation industrial challenges and
shape the future of manufacturing together.”

 

As
global supply chains recalibrate, SKF is reinforcing India’s position as a
strategic manufacturing and innovation base - delivering best-in-class
technology and sustainable solutions that enable the country’s next phase of
industrial growth.

<title>Indian Youth Leader Proposed Russian Culture Centre in Gujarat During Meeting with President Putin</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indian-youth-leader-proposed-russian-culture-centre-in-gujarat-during-meeting-with-president-putin</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indian-youth-leader-proposed-russian-culture-centre-in-gujarat-during-meeting-with-president-putin</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Moscow / New Delhi – 28 February
2026 : Madhish Parikh, a youth leader from Gujarat, proposed establishing a
Russian Culture Centre in Gujarat during his meeting with Russian President
Vladimir Putin in Moscow. The meeting took place during &quot;We Are
Together&quot; international volunteer forum, where Parikh was the only Indian
participant to meet with President Putin.

Parikh told President Putin
that he has been advocating with the Russian House in India to set up the
culture centre in Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The
proposed centre would serve as a platform for cultural exchange and cooperation
between Russia and India and strengthen Indo-Russian relationships.

The meeting came ahead of
President Putin&#039;s scheduled official visit to India. During their conversation,
President Putin said he would personally brief Prime Minister Modi about his
discussion with Parikh. 

Parikh is the Founding
Director of the BRICS Youth Alliance and Elixir Foundation. He introduced
himself to President Putin as someone from Prime Minister Modi&#039;s home state and
shared that his first visit to Russia was as a recipient of the International
Prize &quot;We Are Together&quot; for humanitarian work during the COVID-19
pandemic. He now serves as an Ambassador of the Prize.

During the meeting, Parikh
thanked President Putin for Mission Dobro, under which young Russian volunteers
supported humanitarian projects in India. He emphasized the need for more such
cross-border volunteer initiatives between India and Russia. 

Parikh signed an agreement
with the International Association of Volunteers - DOBRO. The agreement is to
create expanded opportunities and leadership pathways for young people from
BRICS countries through the BRICS Youth Alliance, which Parikh founded as an
international platform for youth cooperation supported by the BRICS Project
Office in the Ulyanovsk Region.

Parikh founded BRICS Youth
Alliance, a united movement of young leaders shaping diplomacy, innovation, and
change across BRICS and beyond. The alliance organised first-ever International
BRICS Educational Expedition in India in partnership with the Federal Agency
for Youth Affairs of the Russian Federation.

Parikh is a recipient of the
National Youth Award, India&#039;s highest civilian honour for youth service. In
2025, he received the BRICS &amp; SCO Young Leaders Award for Best Young Social
Entrepreneur, selected from more than 400 nominees across 13 countries. He has
represented India at international forums including those linked to the World
Economic Forum and United Nations.

<description><![CDATA[ Chakrasiddh
Holistic Healing &amp; Research Center redefines recovery as a process of
restoring the body’s inherent healing capacity, transforming chronic disability
into functional recovery through safe, non-invasive, and drug-free
interventions. Located in Mokila, Hyderabad, the center is founded on the
legacy of 36-generations of Siddha medical wisdom, integrated thoughtfully with
contemporary clinical understanding. Over the years, Chakrasiddh has supported
thousands of individuals with prolong suffering; in regaining mobility, achieving
long-term relief from chronic migraines, and improving overall quality of life.
By applying time-tested Siddha principles through structured therapeutic
protocols and outcome-based care, the center bridges ancient knowledge with
modern scientific validation, offering a holistic model of healing that
emphasizes sustainability, safety, and patient-centric recovery.

What Makes it
distinctive and magnetic

Imagine a
healing ecosystem where blocked energy channels stimulate floods of vitality,
unlike other clinics who aims to suppress symptoms. Chakrasiddh integrates Nadi
Vaidyam&#039;s pulse-like energy activation and Marma Chikitsa&#039;s précised
vital-point therapy with real-time tracking of patient progress and therapy
customization demonstrating 95% response rate within defined treatment
durations. Patients treated here rave about avoidance on surgical or long-term
pharmacological interventions. The center’s therapeutic approach is backed by
30+ peer-reviewed papers proving superior edge over drugs. 

Pioneering
Research Legacy

Chakrasiddh
stands out in its research work with over 30+ peer-reviewed studies published
in reputed national and international medical journals, clearly showing how its
therapies deliver and demonstrate consistent therapeutic benefits across complex
conditions. These research works include detailed patient stories and
randomized controlled studies proving improved spinal mobility, migraine
relief, and natural gut healing all with 95% success rates that beat usual
treatments and brings lasting relief when protocols are followed. Standardized
measuring tools such as pain scores, sleep, and functional ability and quality
of life indicies back up every claim, making ancient methods trustworthy for
everyone today.

Dr.
Sindhuja’s Vision and Leadership

Dr. B. Sathya
Sindhuja didn&#039;t just inherit Siddha wisdom she ignited it into a global
revolution, renowned for her extraordinary ability to sense and channel life
energies, clearing blockages linked to chronic ailments like cluster headaches,
Crohn&#039;s disease, and spinal disorders as documented in published articles such
as those in Journal of Neurology &amp; Allied Medicine and Science Frontier.
These blockages form from years of stress, poor diet, injuries, emotional
trauma, and toxins that stagnate prana flow, manifesting as pain, fatigue, and
disease. She has mastered the art of identifying them through intuitive touch
and gently releases them with precise techniques, restoring harmony where
modern medicine sees only symptoms. Her methods dissolve these invisible
barriers, allowing vitality to flow freely, as evidenced in cases of rapid
migraine remission and gut health recovery. With 20+ years conquering the
&quot;incurables,&quot; her work emphasizes on the body’s innate healing
capacity supported with rigorous research works. Her peer reviewed publications
are testimony and blueprints mentoring healers worldwide to spark
transformations.

The
Electrifying Healing Journey

The dynamic
healing journey starts with a comprehensive clinical assessment, uncovers your
energy obstructions and imbalances. From the first session, skilled therapists
apply rhythmic strokes and pressures, removing toxins, enhancing circulation,
and realigning your core, restoring momentum to the body’s intrinsic repair
processes. Different protocols designed by Chakrasiddh, like Chakrasiddh Spine
Expert Therapy (CSET) focuses on musculoskeletal and spinal issues in 2-4
weeks; Chakrasiddh Energy Realignment Therapy (CERT) revamps your
neurological/gut malfunctions, Chakrasiddh Osteoarthritis Therapy (COAT)
manages knee arthritis and Chakrasiddh Nasal Alignment &amp; Sinus Energy
Therapy (CNASET) works on nasal corrections and sinus issues along with
individualized dietary modifications, corrective yoga practices, and structured
lifestyle guidance. Patients must adhere to protocols: daily hydration with
warm water, sattvic diet avoiding processed foods/spices, 30-min gentle walks,
no heavy lifting, consistent sleep by 10 PM, and full therapy session
attendance for optimal results. Many reports relief in days, full rebirth in
sessions with no surgery, no side effects, just your body&#039;s self-heal
awakening.

Proven
Outcomes Across Diverse Conditions

From radiating
sciatica&#039;s pain to Crohn&#039;s functional symptoms, scoliosis-associated spine

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
27th February 2026 : Love is powerful. Love is fearless. Love is
Rubaroo. The recently unveiled promo of the song has already set hearts racing,
heightening anticipation for this timeless romance. With an undeniable
emotional pull and raw intensity, Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur bring to life a
love story that lingers long after the music fades. Before he became a dacoit,
he was a lover, and this is where it all began.

Sung
by Faheem Abdullah and Chinmayi Sripada, with lyrics penned by Ritesh Rajwada
and soul-stirring music composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, Rubaroo is crafted to
become a love anthem. Mrunal and Sesh’s pure-hearted charm and the heartfelt
bond they share on screen will transport audiences back to the magic and
innocence of first love.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWOoqKKtkvg

Talking
about singing Rubaroo, Faheem Abdullah expressed, “When
I was recording Rubaroo, I felt like I was stepping into someone’s most
vulnerable memory of love, the very inception of it. There’s a tenderness in
the melody, but also a depth that lingers. I think listeners will truly feel
that.”

Singer
Chinmayi Sripada, expressed, “There’s a quiet depth to Rubaroo that I
really connected with. Recording it in two languages meant honouring not just
the lyrics, but the emotional rhythm of each version. That nuance made the
experience very special for me.”

Talking
about the song, Adivi Sesh shared, “For me, music is
one of the purest ways to communicate emotion. Rubaroo captures a kind of love
that feels honest and vulnerable. With Faheem Abdullah and Chinmayi Sripada
lending their voices to its hindi version, the song found its soul. I’m excited
for audiences to experience that emotion.”

Mrunal
Thakur shared, “I’ve always believed that first love has
a certain purity to it, and Rubaroo captures that beautifully. It doesn’t try
to be dramatic, it simply lets the emotion breathe, and that’s what I connected
with the most.”

Apart
from Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, the film also features Anurag Kashyap in a
pivotal role, bringing together power-packed performances that promise a
distinctive, genre-defying narrative.

Marking
Shaneil Deo’s directorial debut, Dacoit is produced by Supriya Yarlagadda,
co-produced by Suniel Narang, and presented by Annapurna Studios. Shot
simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu, the film’s story and screenplay have been
jointly crafted by Adivi Sesh and Shaneil Deo.

With
its ambitious scale, compelling storytelling and a high-voltage musical
addition, Dacoit is gearing up for a grand pan-India theatrical release. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  Hiten
Tejwani and Stuti Winkle Win Best Actor and Best Actress Titles

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 27 : The
entertainment world witnessed a unique milestone today as the True Vertical
Awards concluded on a high note at the Thakur International School Auditorium
in Kandivali. As the market for vertical micro-dramas expands rapidly—boasting
over 200 million subscribers and more than 50 platforms actively producing
content—this format has transformed into a global powerhouse within just a few
years.

<description><![CDATA[  ~Limited-edition enclave of 25 luxury villas
and villaments~

Pune,
February 27, 2026 : Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate (SPRE), one of
India’s most trusted real estate developers, has announced the launch of ‘The
Vastion’ at Hadapsar Annexe, an exclusive, low-density enclave comprising 25
luxury residences, including 13 villas and 12 villaments. Designed for
discerning homebuyers seeking privacy, space, and nature-led living within a
well-established urban ecosystem, the project marks a significant addition to
Pune’s evolving luxury landscape.

Conceptualised
as a serene retreat integrated with nature, The Vastion is set within a mature
mango orchard, where fully grown trees form an intrinsic part of the master
planning. Select villas uniquely incorporate existing trees within their
private garden, reinforcing the project’s biophilic design philosophy. The
residences are characterised by double-heighted living spaces that open onto
private central gardens, creating a seamless transition between indoor and
outdoor environments while maximising natural light and ventilation.

Each
4.5 BHK Villa at The Vastion features a generous 5,628 square feet of total
usable space, offering homeowners an expansive living experience that goes far
beyond traditional residential layouts.

The
villaments present a unique hybrid format that combines the privacy of a villa
with the structural advantages of an apartment. With usable areas ranging from
3,463 square feet to 3,812 square feet, the 4BHK residences offer
configurations with either private gardens on lower levels or terraces on upper
floors, catering to varied lifestyle preferences while maintaining low-density
exclusivity.

Commenting
on the launch, Mr Sumit Sapru, CEO, Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate, said,
“The Vastion represents our vision of luxury living where scale, privacy and
nature coexist seamlessly. Today’s evolving homebuyer is seeking more than just
a residence; they are looking for space, exclusivity, and a meaningful
connection with their surroundings. With only 25 residences set within a mature
orchard landscape, The Vastion offers a rare low-density proposition in Pune’s
growth corridor. This launch further strengthens our commitment to delivering
design-led, future-ready developments that create enduring value for our
customers.”

The
residences are priced from INR 4.70 crore onwards for villaments and INR 6.61
crore onwards for villas, positioning The Vastion firmly within Pune’s premium
luxury segment. With limited inventory and a boutique scale, the project is
expected to attract affluent buyers seeking privacy, long-term value
appreciation, and differentiated living experiences.

Strategically
located at Hadapsar Annexe, the project enjoys seamless connectivity to key
commercial and lifestyle hubs, including Hadapsar, Magarpatta IT Park, Amanora
Park, and SP Infocity. It is in proximity to leading educational institutions,
healthcare facilities, retail destinations, and established residential
neighbourhoods. Upcoming infrastructure developments, such as the proposed
four-tier double-decker flyover, ring road, and metro corridor, are expected to
significantly enhance regional accessibility. Additionally, the proposed
Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje International Airport near Saswad is poised to
further strengthen the micro-market’s long-term growth potential.

With
The Vastion, SPRE continues to deepen its presence in Pune’s luxury residential
market, reinforcing its commitment to quality construction, thoughtful design,
and customer-centric innovation.

<title>Indo&amp;French Cooperation Accelerates India&amp;apos;s Power Grid Modernization</title>

<description><![CDATA[   Epsilon
Composite joins official French business delegation during President Macron&#039;s
State Visit to India

During the State visit of President Emmanuel Macron to India which marked
the launch of the Indo-French Year of Innovation Alexandre Lull, CEO of Epsilon
Composite, joined the official business delegation. The visit highlighted the
strategic role of power transmission infrastructure in supporting India&#039;s rapid
electrification, industrial growth, and digital expansion.

 

Through its Indian subsidiary HindEpsilon Composite, based in Chennai,
Epsilon Composite is strengthening its operational footprint in India. While
renewable generation capacity is expanding rapidly across the country,
transmission infrastructure including renewable energy corridors and
inter-state networks must scale at the same pace to evacuate power efficiently
and avoid congestion.

 

Discussions during the AI Impact Summit 2026 emphasized that artificial
intelligence requires robust physical infrastructure. Data centers,
semiconductor manufacturing, and digital services all depend on stable and
high-capacity electricity supply. Strengthening transmission networks is
therefore a prerequisite for sustainable digital growth.

 

In this context, HVCRC®
advanced conductors developed by Epsilon Composite are a key contributor to
strengthening the Indian power grid. They increase the capacity of existing
lines, reduce losses and thermal sag, and help avoid or defer heavy investment
in new infrastructure, thereby optimizing capital expenditure and minimizing
right-of-way constraints. Thanks to this technology, existing assets can be upgraded
rapidly, supporting the energy transition, industrial development, and the
expansion of digital infrastructure.

 

&quot;India is undertaking one of the largest
transmission expansion programs in the world. Advanced conductors offer a
practical and cost-efficient way to increase grid capacity rapidly while
supporting the country&#039;s renewable and digital ambitions.&quot;  Alexandre Lull, CEO, Epsilon Composite

 

&quot;As Indian utilities seek diversified and
competitive supply chains for advanced conductors, proven and reliable
technologies are increasingly prioritized. Epsilon Cable is proud to answer
this call with a proven, cost-efficient and sustainable solution. Our mission
is fully aligned with India&#039;s national grid strengthening plan and &#039;Make in
India&#039; initiative. In the coming months, our local production will further
strengthen supply chain resilience and reduce lead times.&quot;  

 

Beyond the diplomatic context, Epsilon Composite has already secured more
than ten contracts across four Indian states with both public and private
stakeholders. During the visit, three additional projects were signed in Tamil
Nadu, confirming growing market adoption of the HVCRC® technology. These
projects illustrate Epsilon Composite&#039;s ability to support the modernization of
India&#039;s electrical infrastructure, contribute to the national target of 500 GW
of installed renewable capacity by 2030, and provide a reliable foundation for
the responsible development of AI.

 

About Epsilon Composite and Epsilon Cable

Epsilon Composite designs and manufactures carbon fiber composites for
industrial, civil engineering, aerospace, and energy markets since 1987. It is
a pioneer and world leader in high-performance composite materials through the
pultrusion process. This highly efficient technology, combined with the
extraordinary properties of carbon fibers, is the ideal solution to manufacture
the cores of advanced conductors, also known as High Capacity / High
Temperature Low Sag (HTLS) conductors.

 

Since 2023, Sumitomo Corporation (Japan) has joined the company&#039;s capital
as a minority shareholder to support the ambitious growth of the Epsilon Cable
division. Epsilon Composite&#039;s headquarters and main facilities are located in
France, with subsidiaries in Japan, India, and Mexico.

designed to improve line ampacity, reduce sag, and minimize electrical losses.
Thanks to their strong lightweight composite core made of aerospace-grade
carbon fiber, glass fiber, and epoxy resin, Epsilon Advanced Conductors such as
HVCRC® can cost-effectively double the ampacity of high-voltage overhead lines,
mitigate sag issues, reduce electrical losses, cut CO₂ emissions, and ensure a
quick return on investment for utilities.

 

With a proven track record of several thousand kilometers of conductors
installed and energized worldwide over the past 20 years, Epsilon Cable serves
the most demanding utilities to help them strengthen and modernize their power
grids. ]]></description>

<title>74% of Professionals Use Meeting Rooms Weekly. Why Do Meetings Still Start Late?</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/74-of-professionals-use-meeting-rooms-weekly-why-do-meetings-still-start-late</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ At
home, technology just works. You mirror your screen to the TV in seconds. Video
calls connect instantly. Devices sync without cables or complicated setup.
Everything is designed to be simple and intuitive.

But
walk into an office meeting room and the experience often feels very different.
Instead of starting discussions, meetings begin with confusion. Someone looks
for the right cable. Another searches for an adapter. A laptop refuses to
connect. Remote participants wait while the room struggles to get started.

Almost
every professional has faced this situation. You walk into an important meeting
ready to present, hoping to make a strong first impression. Instead, the first
few minutes are lost in awkward silence while technology catches up. By the
time the presentation finally begins, the momentum is already broken. These
delays may seem small, but they add up quickly.

Research
shows that 74% of employees use video conferencing rooms at least once a week,
and meetings typically start five to seven minutes late because of setup
issues. Over time, these small delays translate into hours of lost productivity
across organisations.

In
workplaces that rely heavily on video conferencing, online web conferencing,
and shared presentations, the meeting room has quietly become one of the
biggest sources of daily inefficiency.

Outdated
Meeting Rooms in a Modern Workplace

The
problem is not that organisations lack technology. The problem is that many
meeting rooms were designed for a different way of working.

Traditional
meeting rooms depend on:

●       
Fixed cables connected to the display

●       
One presenter at a time

●       
Specific laptop ports

●       
Software installations

●       
IT support when something fails

Today’s
meetings look very different. Teams use different devices. People join
remotely. Multiple participants share content. Meetings need to start quickly
and run smoothly. This mismatch between modern work and outdated meeting rooms
creates everyday frustration.

Employees
are used to instant connectivity at home, but in the office even simple tasks
like sharing a screen can become complicated. Cables do not match devices.
Applications fail to install. Firewalls block connections. Presentations freeze
or disconnect. As demand for reliable video conference systems continues to
grow, organisations are recognising that traditional wired setups no longer
support the way people actually work.

When
Technology Gets in the Way of Ideas

For
presenters, these challenges create unnecessary pressure.

Client
pitches, leadership reviews, and team presentations depend on smooth delivery.
But instead of focusing on ideas, professionals often find themselves
troubleshooting technology.

A
reliable video conferencing solution simply means a meeting room system that
allows people to connect their laptops instantly, share screens wirelessly, and
use the room’s camera and microphone without complicated setup.

When
these basics do not work smoothly, meetings become stressful and unproductive.

A
Simpler Way to Start Meetings

Recognising
this growing problem, BenQ India has introduced the InstaShow VS25, a wireless
conferencing system designed to make meetings easier to start and easier to
run.

Instead
of dealing with cables and adapters, users can connect their laptops and start
presenting in seconds. The system works without installing apps or drivers,
which removes one of the biggest causes of meeting delays.

With
a single tap, users can share their screen wirelessly without worrying about
compatibility or network settings. Meetings can begin immediately instead of
losing valuable time on setup.

Designed
for How Meetings Happen Today

Modern
meetings often include both in-room and remote participants. VS25 allows users
to connect wirelessly to the meeting room’s camera, microphone, and speakers,
so remote participants can see and hear clearly.

It
also supports both USB-C and HDMI laptops, eliminating the need for adapters
and making it easier for different users to connect quickly.

For
teams that depend on online meeting web conferencing every day, this simplicity
makes a measurable difference. Less time is spent troubleshooting, and more
time is spent collaborating.

Making
Meetings Work the Way They Should

The
value of InstaShow VS25 lies in the problems it removes. There are fewer
delays, fewer interruptions, and fewer technical distractions.

By
solving everyday meeting room challenges, BenQ’s wireless conferencing approach
helps teams focus on what matters most: sharing ideas and making decisions.

Meetings
are meant to move work forward. When technology stops getting in the way, they
finally can.

learn more about how InstaShow VS25 can transform your meeting rooms and
eliminate daily setup delays, explore the complete solution here: http://b ]]></description>

<title>Drive Electric with Confidence: Royal Sundaram&amp;apos;s EV Protect Add&amp;On Now Available for Comprehensive Coverage</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/drive-electric-with-confidence-royal-sundarams-ev-protect-add-on-now-available-for-comprehensive-coverage</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/drive-electric-with-confidence-royal-sundarams-ev-protect-add-on-now-available-for-comprehensive-coverage</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Global EV adoption is gaining unprecedented momentum.
According to the IEA, over 17 million electric cars were sold globally in 2024,
with projections for 2025 surpassing 20 million vehicles, representing more
than one in four cars sold worldwide. India is also seeing steady growth, with
electric passenger vehicles accounting for 4.1% of total car sales in May 2025,
nearly doubling from 2.6% the previous year, as per data from the Federation of
Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA).

 

In line with this transition to cleaner
mobility, Royal
Sundaram General Insurance offers the EV Protect Add-On, a specialised
insurance solution tailored to the unique needs of electric vehicle (EV)
owners. The add-on is designed to cover the components and risks most relevant
to today’s battery-powered, digitally integrated vehicles, helping ensure comprehensive
protection in a fast-evolving automotive landscape.

 

“Electric vehicles represent a significant step
forward for mobility, but they also bring new technical risks that standard
policies were never designed to cover. With EV Protect, Royal Sundaram ensures
that EV owners have the specialised coverage they need to drive with
confidence, no matter the conditions,” said Mallikarjun Mallannavar, Chief
Claims Officer at Royal Sundaram

 

Why EV Protect?

 

With batteries, motors, and high-voltage electronics
forming the core of every electric vehicle, traditional motor insurance may not
fully address the unique risks EV owners face. Royal Sundaram’s EV Protect
Add-On bridges this gap by offering targeted coverage that complements its
existing Private Car Package Policy, Long-Term/Bundled Policy, and Standalone
Own Damage Policy, ensuring more complete protection for electric vehicles on
Indian roads.

 

Here’s what EV Protect brings to the table:

 


 Battery
     &amp; Motor Protection: Provides cover for
     repair or replacement of critical EV components such as lithium-ion
     batteries, electric motors, inverters, and battery management systems
     (BMS) in the event of a power surge, thermal runaway, water ingress, or
     short circuit.
 Charging
     Accessory Cover: Includes standalone
     protection for wall-mounted and portable chargers, cables, and adaptors,
     ensuring that damaged charging equipment doesn’t disrupt mobility.
 Surge
     Damage Protection: Shields high-value
     electrical systems from damage due to sudden current spikes during charging—risks
     that standard warranties often exclude.
 Flood-Related
     Protection: As climate patterns grow more
     erratic, the add-on offers targeted coverage for water-related failures to
     essential EV systems, which is especially vital in India’s flood-prone regions.
 Transferable
     and Flexible: The add-on is linked to the
     vehicle, not the owner, making it transferable upon resale. 


 

“From residential charging setups to rising monsoon
risks, Royal Sundaram has looked at the real-world concerns of EV users. EV Protect
addresses those pain points with precision,” said Mallikarjun Mallannavar,
Chief Claims Officer at Royal Sundaram

 

A Future-Ready Cover for Future-Ready Vehicles

 

EVs aren’t just vehicles; they’re integrated
ecosystems. A single malfunctioning component can impact the entire system.
With EV Protect, Royal Sundaram aims to shield owners from high out-of-pocket
expenses while keeping their vehicles roadworthy and reliable.

 

The add-on is specifically designed for responsible,
private-use Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and requires adherence to basic
care protocols, such as following OEM-recommended servicing schedules and using
authorised charging equipment.

 

As electric adoption gains momentum, Royal Sundaram
continues to play an active role in ensuring Indian EV owners are protected,
not just today but for every mile on the electric road ahead. ]]></description>

<title>Indian NRIs Are Quietly Redirecting Wealth to Gift City — Moving Away From Singapore and Mauritius Structures</title>

<description><![CDATA[ CHENNAI, February 2026 :  Kalviro Ventures, a Chennai-based APMI-registered portfolio management firm
specialising in NRI and HNI wealth management, has reported a significant and
accelerating shift in how high-net-worth members of the Indian diaspora across
the US, UK, UAE and beyond are restructuring their investments — moving capital
away from Singapore and Mauritius offshore structures toward India&#039;s Gift City
International Financial Services Centre (IFSC).

The trend, consistently observed through 2025 and sharply accelerating
into early 2026, is being driven by two simultaneous forces: the rapid
expansion of sophisticated IFSC-regulated investment products from India&#039;s most
respected fund houses, and the mounting compliance burden and narrowing tax
advantage of traditional offshore structures.

&quot;NRIs who built Singapore structures ten to fifteen years ago are
now questioning whether the cost and complexity still justifies the
benefit,&quot; said Shrenik Shah, Managing Partner and Founder of Kalviro
Ventures. &quot;Gift City&#039;s IFSC has become a credible, IFSCA-regulated
alternative that competes with established offshore hubs on substance — not
just on patriotic appeal.&quot;

Why Singapore and Mauritius Structures Are Losing Ground

The DTAA advantages that historically made Singapore and Mauritius the
default choices for Indian NRI wealth structuring have been progressively
narrowed. Indian tax authorities have tightened treaty shopping provisions
under FEMA, increased beneficial ownership disclosure requirements and raised
scrutiny of offshore structures that lack genuine commercial substance.

The result is a cost-benefit equation that has shifted materially
against traditional offshore arrangements. Annual corporate secretarial fees,
audit obligations, director requirements and growing regulatory compliance
costs now consume a meaningful share of the tax advantage these structures were
originally built to capture. For a growing number of NRIs globally, the
residual benefit no longer justifies the ongoing burden — and they are looking
closer to home for alternatives.

Gift City IFSC — A Sophisticated Investment Ecosystem Built for Global
NRIs

Gift City&#039;s IFSC, governed by the International Financial Services
Centres Authority (IFSCA), has evolved rapidly into a world-class financial
centre offering NRIs access to USD-denominated fund structures from India&#039;s
leading asset managers — structures that were simply not accessible through any
Indian investment channel until recently.

Kalviro Ventures currently provides NRI and HNI clients across the
globe access to fifteen IFSC-regulated funds spanning equity, global investing
and alternative investment strategies — all USD-denominated with minimum
investments starting from USD 75,000.

Equity Funds via IFSC —
NRIs seeking direct exposure to India&#039;s long-term equity growth story can
access funds from Aditya Birla Sun Life (ABSL Global Bluechip Equity Fund and
ABSL India Flexicap Fund), Mirae Asset (India Equity Allocation Fund), DSP
(India Equity Opportunities Fund), ICICI Prudential (Smart Navigator Fund),
Motilal Oswal (Gift City Fund of Funds) and Bandhan AMC — all structured
through IFSC with USD 150,000 minimum investment.

Global Investing Strategy —
For NRIs seeking international diversification beyond Indian equities, Parag
Parikh Global Investing Strategy offers access to global equity markets through
an IFSC structure with a more accessible entry point of USD 75,000 — the lowest
minimum investment in Kalviro Ventures&#039; Gift City product suite.

Category II AIFs — Private Market Access — Bharat Value IFSC Fund by The Wealth Company and Neo Secondaries
Fund by Neo Asset represent Kalviro Ventures&#039; private market offerings through
Gift City. Both are six-year funds. The Neo Secondaries Fund operates in the
secondary private equity space — acquiring stakes in existing PE and VC
portfolios — which significantly reduces the J-curve risk that characterises
traditional primary private equity investments. Both funds target a Multiple on
Invested Capital of 2.5x to 3x over the fund life, subject to market conditions
and fund performance. Actual returns are not guaranteed.

Category III AIFs — Active Equity Strategies Exclusively for NRIs — Carnelian India Amritkaal Fund, Motilal
Oswal Alternative IFSC Trust, Alchemy India Long Term Fund, Renaissance India
Growth Fund and Phillip India Billion Opportunities Fund all operate
exclusively through Gift City&#039;s IFSC framework to serve NRI and foreign
investors. Both Carnelian&#039;s and Motilal Oswal&#039;s strategies are flexi cap in
nature — giving fund managers complete freedom to allocate across large, mid
and small cap companies based on prevailing market opportunity. Operating
through IFSC provides these funds a regulatory and tax framework that makes
them significantly more viable for NRI participation than equivalent domestic
Category III alternat ]]></description>

<p></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">"The best performing Category II private equity AIFs have historically targeted IRRs in the range of 20% to 25%," said Shrenik Shah. "But IRR is an Internal Rate of Return that accounts for the precise timing and sequencing of cash flows across the fund's life — it is fundamentally different from a simple annualised return figure. Both our Category II funds deploy capital progressively over the first two to three years and return capital through years four to six. A 2.5x MOIC over a six-year period does not translate mechanically to 25% per year — the actual IRR depends entirely on when distributions are made. We always present clients with the complete cash flow model alongside any headline return figure because one without the other is an incomplete and potentially misleading picture."</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">Key Considerations for NRI Investors Exploring Gift City</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Kalviro Ventures advises NRI investors globally to carefully evaluate four critical factors before any Gift City allocation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Existing offshore structures with embedded gains must be modelled carefully before unwinding — the cost of restructuring without qualified tax advice can eliminate years of accumulated benefit in a single transaction. Currency risk varies significantly by product — while all Gift City funds are USD-denominated at entry, those investing in Indian equity markets retain INR-USD movement risk at the portfolio level that investors must understand clearly. Liquidity profiles differ materially across the product range — open-ended equity funds offer genuine flexibility while Category II AIF structures carry six-year lock-in periods that must be honestly matched to the investor's actual capital horizon. And every NRI investor must consult their tax advisor regarding applicable DTAA provisions, their specific country of residence and their individual tax position before making any allocation decision — Gift City's tax advantages are real but their application varies significantly by investor circumstance.</span></p>

<title>JET REALTY INTRODUCES AMENITY&amp;FOCUSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ‘ANANTA’ IN ANDHERI WEST</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai, 27 February 2026 : Jet Realty has launched
its new residential development, Ananta, in Andheri West,
with over 250+ channel partners and several influencers attending the unveiling
event.

 

The launch marks a strategic expansion of the
developer’s footprint in Mumbai’s western suburbs, where it has previously
delivered projects across Vile Parle, Santacruz, Malad and Ghatkopar. With
Ananta, Jet Realty strengthens its presence in Andheri West, a micro-market
supported by strong connectivity and established infrastructure.

 

The project offers access to metro corridors, Western
Express Highway and SV Road, along with proximity to commercial hubs in
Andheri, Goregaon and Bandra-Kurla Complex. The neighbourhood is supported by
schools, healthcare facilities and retail centres. Planned as an integrated
residential development, Ananta features podium and rooftop amenities, fitness
and wellness spaces, children’s activity zones, landscaped recreational areas,
multipurpose community spaces and security systems designed for structured
urban living.

 

The strong turnout of channel partners indicates early
trade confidence in the project. The launch was also covered by a few digital
creators, including influencer Rasika Dhobale, contributing to broader
visibility.

Commenting on the development, Hemant Shah,
CEO &amp; Founder of Jet Realty, said, “The residential demand in
Andheri West is increasingly being shaped by infrastructure upgrades and the
shift toward well-planned community living. Buyers today evaluate long-term
livability, connectivity, the surrounding ecosystem and integrated amenities,
rather than just location alone. With Ananta, our focus is on delivering a
development that aligns with these evolving expectations. The strong
participation from channel partners at launch indicates confidence in both the
micro-market and our execution approach.”

 

With infrastructure expansion and metro connectivity
strengthening the western corridor, projects that combine location advantage
with structured planning are expected to see sustained traction. Ananta
represents Jet Realty’s continued focus on established suburban markets where
infrastructure, demand and long-term value converge.

founded and led by Hemant Shah. The company focuses on residential developments
across established suburban micro-markets, including Vile Parle, Santacruz,

<title>Universal Education and Minerva University Explore New Models of Global Learning</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/universal-education-and-minerva-university-explore-new-models-of-global-learning</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/universal-education-and-minerva-university-explore-new-models-of-global-learning</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai : In a significant step toward
strengthening global education pathways for Indian students, Dr. Mike Magee,
President of Minerva University, recently visited India to meet Mr. Jesus
Lall, Chairman of Universal Education, sparking conversations around the
future of higher education, global learning models, and new opportunities for
Indian learners seeking international careers.

The visit focused on how emerging
education systems are moving beyond traditional classrooms toward
skills-driven, globally immersive learning experiences — a model Minerva
University has pioneered over the past decade. At the same time, the
discussions reflected Universal Education’s growing emphasis on
interdisciplinary learning, digital integration, and preparing students for a
borderless future.

A Shared Shift in Educational Thinking

Across the world, higher education is
undergoing structural transformation. Employers are placing increasing value on
analytical thinking, adaptability, collaboration, and real-world execution,
skills that are not always cultivated through conventional lecture-based
instruction.

Minerva University has built its academic
model around this shift. Instead of large lecture halls, the institution
operates on a structured active-learning framework. Students prepare in
advance, participate in small interactive seminars, and apply concepts
immediately through real-world assignments. Classes are intentionally limited
to fewer than 20 students to ensure depth of engagement and personalised
faculty interaction.

The pedagogy emphasises advanced
preparation, discussion-based learning, and practical application, ensuring
that knowledge is not passively consumed but actively constructed and tested.

For Universal Education, such models
resonate strongly with its own evolving academic philosophy.

Universal Education’s Expanding Ecosystem

Over the past decade, Universal Education
has developed a diversified education network spanning schools and higher
education institutions, including B.Ed. &amp; Law colleges, along with a fully
operational SkillTech University. Universal has increasingly focused on
technology-enabled classrooms, interdisciplinary curriculum structures, and
industry-aligned programmes that bridge academic theory with professional
practice. Universal SkillTech University offers industry-relevant courses in
association with the Retailers Association of India (RAI), Emversity, and
byteXL (in collaboration with Microsoft), further strengthening its emphasis on
applied and career-linked learning.

Its approach integrates digital
infrastructure, collaborative learning environments, and structured mentorship
to prepare learners not only for examinations but for long-term career
pathways. With growing emphasis on skill-building, global exposure, and applied
learning, Universal Education has positioned itself as an institution seeking to
align Indian education with international standards.

The meeting with Minerva’s leadership
reflects this broader institutional direction — one that recognises that
education must evolve alongside global economic shifts.

A Global Academic Structure Across Cities

One of Minerva’s distinguishing features
is its global rotation model. Undergraduate students live and study across
multiple world cities during their degree, including San Francisco, Berlin,
Buenos Aires, Seoul, Taipei, and previously Hyderabad.

Learning is embedded within each local
context. Students engage with civic institutions, businesses, and community
organisations, applying academic frameworks to real-world challenges. The
curriculum integrates foundational interdisciplinary courses, major
specialisations, electives, and capstone projects anchored in applied
assignments.

Such global mobility reflects an
education design built for international careers, where cultural fluency and
contextual understanding are as critical as subject expertise.

For Indian students, exposure to such
models represents an expansion of what higher education can look like, moving
beyond static campuses to dynamic global engagement.

Preparing
Graduates for a Changing Economy

Graduates from Minerva University have
progressed to organisations such as Google, BCG, and the World Bank, while
others have secured postgraduate placements at Oxford, Stanford, and Harvard.
The institution embeds internships, applied projects, and career coaching
within the student journey.

Minerva’s academic standing has also been
reflected in the 2026 Niche rankings, where it placed #3 among the hardest
colleges to get into in America, #15 for best colleges for business, #17 for
best colleges for mathematics, and in the top 3 per cent nationally for
academics and student life — underscoring both selectivity and student
experience.

These outcomes align with broader
labour-market trends. Increasingly, employers seek graduates who can navigate

<h1></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Mumbai :</span></b><span lang="EN"> In a significant step toward strengthening global education pathways for Indian students, <b>Dr. Mike Magee, President of Minerva University</b>, recently visited India to meet <b>Mr</b>. <b>Jesus Lall</b>, Chairman of Universal Education, sparking conversations around the future of higher education, global learning models, and new opportunities for Indian learners seeking international careers.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The visit focused on how emerging education systems are moving beyond traditional classrooms toward skills-driven, globally immersive learning experiences — a model Minerva University has pioneered over the past decade. At the same time, the discussions reflected Universal Education’s growing emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, digital integration, and preparing students for a borderless future.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><a name="_r1n4btisanp6"></a><span lang="EN">A Shared Shift in Educational Thinking</span></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Across the world, higher education is undergoing structural transformation. Employers are placing increasing value on analytical thinking, adaptability, collaboration, and real-world execution, skills that are not always cultivated through conventional lecture-based instruction.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Minerva University has built its academic model around this shift. Instead of large lecture halls, the institution operates on a structured active-learning framework. Students prepare in advance, participate in small interactive seminars, and apply concepts immediately through real-world assignments. Classes are intentionally limited to fewer than 20 students to ensure depth of engagement and personalised faculty interaction.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The pedagogy emphasises advanced preparation, discussion-based learning, and practical application, ensuring that knowledge is not passively consumed but actively constructed and tested.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For Universal Education, such models resonate strongly with its own evolving academic philosophy.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><a name="_aity2v3dx870"></a><span lang="EN">Universal Education’s Expanding Ecosystem</span></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Over the past decade, Universal Education has developed a diversified education network spanning schools and higher education institutions, including B.Ed. &amp; Law colleges, along with a fully operational SkillTech University. Universal has increasingly focused on technology-enabled classrooms, interdisciplinary curriculum structures, and industry-aligned programmes that bridge academic theory with professional practice. Universal SkillTech University offers industry-relevant courses in association with the Retailers Association of India (RAI), Emversity, and byteXL (in collaboration with Microsoft), further strengthening its emphasis on applied and career-linked learning.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Its approach integrates digital infrastructure, collaborative learning environments, and structured mentorship to prepare learners not only for examinations but for long-term career pathways. With growing emphasis on skill-building, global exposure, and applied learning, Universal Education has positioned itself as an institution seeking to align Indian education with international standards.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">These outcomes align with broader labour-market trends. Increasingly, employers seek graduates who can navigate ambiguity, collaborate across cultures, and apply structured thinking to complex problems.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Universal Education’s Chairman, Mr. Jesus Lall, underscored this alignment during the discussions.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">“Indian students deserve access to education that prepares them not just for degrees, but for leadership in a rapidly changing world. Conversations like these help create pathways that connect Indian ambition with global opportunity,” he said.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Dr. Mike Magee added, “The future belongs to learners who can think critically, adapt globally, and solve real problems. India has extraordinary talent, and education models must evolve to unlock that potential on a global stage.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><a name="_he6o7xqy5ufl"></a><span lang="EN">Accessibility and Financial Considerations</span></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">A key discussion point during the visit was financial accessibility. Minerva operates on a need-based financial aid system, with approximately 83 per cent of students receiving some form of assistance through scholarships, grants, and structured aid packages.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">As Indian families evaluate international education pathways, affordability and transparency in financial planning remain central considerations. Conversations around accessibility, therefore, formed an important part of the broader dialogue on expanding global opportunities.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Universal Education’s leadership emphasised the importance of ensuring that global pathways remain inclusive and merit-driven, rather than limited by geography or financial constraints.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><a name="_tbcbsfidx3eo"></a><span lang="EN">Why This Dialogue Matters</span></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">India’s demographic advantage, combined with increasing global mobility, places the country at a strategic crossroads. As artificial intelligence reshapes industries and interdisciplinary careers become more common, education systems must prioritise flexibility, analytical reasoning, and cross-border competence.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Engagements such as this signal a growing alignment between Indian education leaders and global innovators in pedagogy. Rather than focusing solely on institutional expansion, the emphasis is shifting toward learning design, global exposure, and measurable skill development.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For Universal Education, the visit represents part of a broader effort to explore international collaborations that enhance opportunity for Indian learners. For Minerva University, it reflects deepening engagement with India’s talent pool.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><a name="_r24vqnqfa0z4"></a><span lang="EN">Looking Ahead</span></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The visit marks an important step in strengthening global academic conversations involving Indian institutions. As higher education continues to evolve, partnerships rooted in shared vision may redefine how students prepare for careers that increasingly transcend national boundaries.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In a world where opportunity is no longer confined by geography, dialogues between forward-looking institutions such as Minerva University and Universal Education may help shape the next chapter of globally relevant learning for Indian students.</span><span lang="EN"></span></p>

<p><b>RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat to inaugurate Jaisalmer’s Chadar Mahotsav; 10.8 Million Devotees Worldwide to Recite Collective DadaGuru Ektisa Path on March 7</b></p>
<p><b>Chennai </b>: A three-day Chadar Mahotsav and DadaGuru Ektisa Path will be organized from March 6 to 8, 2026, in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Preparations at the Mahotsav venue in Jaisalmer are in full swing. The three-day programme will be inaugurated by RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat.</p>
<p>The special highlight of the programme will be the historic Mahasankalp on March 7, when (1 Crore 8 Lakh) devotees across the world will collectively recite the DadaGuru Ektisa Path simultaneously. The programme is being organized under the aegis of Dada Gurudev Shri Jindattsuri Chadar Mahotsav Samiti. Representatives from Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Hindu Adhyatmik evam Seva Sansthan, Vidya Bharati, and several social and cultural organizations will participate in the event.</p>
<p>The programme will be conducted in the pavan nishra of Gachchhadhipati Acharya Shri Maniprabh Suri Ji. The inspirational force behind this grand Mahotsav is Pujya Acharya Shri Jinmanojna Sagar Ji. The Chairman of Chadar Mahotsav Samiti is Maharashtra Government Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha, and the Convener is former JITO Chairman Tejraj Golecha. Nearly 400 saints representing various Indian traditions will be present at the Mahotsav. Around 20,000 devotees are expected to attend the three-day programme.</p>
<p><b>First-ever Vidhi-Vidhan Abhishek after 871 Years</b></p>
<p>According to Chadar Mahotsav Samiti Chairman Mangal Prabhat Lodha, this campaign is not merely a religious ritual but a global movement of faith, unity, and spiritual awakening. At the designated time, devotees across cities in India and abroad will simultaneously perform the DadaGuru Ektisa Path, creating a collective spiritual resonance worldwide.</p>
<p>Under the inspiration of Pujya Acharya Shri Jinmanojna Sagar Ji, this initiative is taking the form of a global spiritual movement. During the Dada Gurudev Shri Jindattsuri Chadar Mahotsav, the Chadar will undergo a vidhi-vidhan Abhishek for the first time in 871 years. Prior to this, the Chadar will be brought from Jaisalmer Fort to the Mahotsav venue in a grand Varghoda procession. On March 8, Upadhyay Mahendrasagar Maharaj will be conferred with the Acharya Pad.</p>
<p><b>Devotees from Across the World to Join the Collective DadaGuru Ektisa Path</b></p>
<p>National Chairman of the DadaGuru Ektisa programme, Prakash Chandra Lodha, stated that the central highlight of the three-day Chadar Mahotsav, being held from March 6 to 8, 2026, in the pavan nishra of Gachchhadhipati Acharya Shri Jinmaniprabha Suri Ji, will be the historic Mahasankalp on March 7, 2026.</p>
<p>At the designated time, 10.8 million devotees worldwide will recite the DadaGuru Ektisa Path together, generating a powerful wave of spiritual energy at the global level.</p>
<p><b>Key Programmes Over Three Days</b></p>
<p>On March 6, the first day of Chadar Mahotsav in Jaisalmer, the Mahotsav will commence with the Mangal Pravesh of Gachchhadhipati Shri, Acharyas, Upadhyays, and Bhagwants. During the subsequent Dharma Sabha, RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Rao Bhagwat will be present. On this occasion, the Chadar Ceremony coin and a Special Postal Stamp will be released. In the evening, for the first time, a live theatrical presentation based on the life of Dada Gurudev will be staged.</p>
<p>On March 7, a Chadar Varghoda will proceed from Jaisalmer Fort. Following this, 10.8 million devotees worldwide will perform the DadaGuru Ektisa Path. In the afternoon, the Chadar Abhishek and Puja will take place. During the cultural evening, renowned musicians will present devotional performances at the Bhakti Mahotsav.</p>
<p>On March 8, Upadhyay Mahendrasagar Maharaj will be conferred with the Acharya Pad, along with the Ganini Pad ceremony. On the same day, Chadar Ok, Jal, and Vasakshep will be distributed.</p>
<p><b>Massive Dome Tents Under Preparation for a Month</b></p>
<p>Mahendra Singh Bhansali, President of Jaisalmer Jain Trust, stated that preparations for this historic programme of the Jain community are underway at Dedansar Ground, where massive dome tents have been under construction for the past month. Additionally, a museum is being developed at the venue. Around 20,000 devotees of DadaGuru Jindattsuri from across India and abroad are expected to arrive in Jaisalmer for this occasion. Notably, Jaisalmer district holds immense religious significance for the Jain community.</p>
<p><b>Sacred Chadar: A Centre of Unwavering Faith</b></p>
<p>According to Organizing Committee Secretary Padam Tatia, the first DadaGuru, Acharya Shri Jindattsuri, is regarded as a great spiritual Acharya of the 11th century. As per tradition, his Agni-Sanskar was performed on land granted by King Arnoraj in Ajmer. It is believed that during the Agni-Sanskar, the Chadar did not burn — an extraordinary and divine occurrence that remains a symbol of unwavering faith for devotees even today.</p>
<p>Historical references suggest that approximately one and a half centuries ago, the Maharawal of Jaisalmer had this Chadar brought from Anhilpur Patan to mitigate a devastating epidemic. Presently, the Chadar is preserved at Shri Jinbhadra Suri Gyan Bhandar located within Jaisalmer Fort. The Chadar Mahotsav is organized based on this sacred tradition.</p>
<p><b>Two-Day National Vidwat Sangoshthi</b></p>
<p>On March 7 and 8, 2026, a National Vidwat Sangoshthi will be organized on the theme: “Bharat ki Sanskritik Ekta, Samajik Sadbhav evam Samrasta mein DadaGuru Parampara ka Yogdan.”</p>
<p>Jodhpur University, Rajasthan University, Prakrit Bharati Sansthan, and the Centre for Society and Culture Studies, among other prestigious academic institutions, will participate as Knowledge Partners. Eminent Acharyas, Jain Sadhus and Sadhvis, and subject experts will be present during the Sangoshthi.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<title>Tier 2 Cities Drive Demat Account Growth as First&amp;Time Investors Enter Market</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Indian
stock market is undergoing a major transformation in 2026. New investors are
now looking at cities like Jaipur, Indore and Lucknow. This shift is happening
because of better internet and a strong desire to build wealth. Young
professionals and small business owners in these regions are now looking beyond
gold or fixed deposits. This article highlights the geographical shift in
India’s financial market.

Why Small
Cities are Moving to Equities

Residents
of Tier 2 cities earlier believed that only major city professionals could
trade on the stock market. Now, everything is different. It is easy to trade
from anywhere because of 5G&#039;s speed and user-friendly mobile applications.
Social media and regional language have also contributed to an increase in
financial literacy. People are now aware that equities can yield higher
long-term returns.

Most people begin investing via a digital portal and open a Demat account. These days, this procedure is easy and just takes a few minutes. To
do the digital KYC, all you need is your Aadhaar and PAN card. New investors
have entered the market because of this ease of access. 

Comparing
Old and New Investing Methods

The way
people manage their savings has changed significantly over the years. Earlier,
the main goal of investing was safety. People preferred traditional investment
options such as gold, fixed deposits (FDs), and real estate because they were
considered secure and stable. Investments were usually made through physical
bank branches or local agents. Information was mostly shared through word of
mouth, family advice, or financial agents. The overall process was slow,
paperwork-heavy, and often involved higher commissions and fees.

Today, the
focus has shifted toward growth and beating inflation. Modern digital investing
offers access to assets like stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs. Investors can now
use mobile trading apps to buy and sell investments instantly. Real-time data,
market news, and online research tools help individuals make informed
decisions. Transactions are fast and fully digital, and many platforms offer
low or even zero brokerage models. Overall, investing has become more
accessible, affordable, and efficient compared to traditional methods.

Role of
Smart Trading Solutions

People from
Tier-2 cities look for ways to save their money as they enter the market. High
fees can be difficult for a beginner. This is where modern brokers help,
providing advanced features and reliable services. They offer tools that make
trading affordable for everyone, regardless of their budget.

The zero-brokerage trading
account has changed the investment strategy. It
allows new investors to buy and hold stocks without paying high commission
fees. For someone starting with a small amount, saving on brokerage means a
reasonable percentage of their investment is retained. This model is popular in
Tier 2 cities, where cost efficiency is primary.

Key factors
driving the growth:

●     
Mobile
First Approach: Apps are now easy to use and
available in local languages.

●     
Low Entry
Barriers: You can start investing with
small amounts of money.

●     
Faster
Settlements: The T+1 settlement cycle ensures
that you get your money or shares quickly.

Clearing on
Stock Trading Myths

First-time
investors used to worry about the difficulties of the stock market. They
thought hidden costs and complicated paperwork would reduce their savings.
However, the tech-driven and transparent digital platforms have cleared these
doubts. Now, individuals across the country have access to the same market data
as professional traders. This is an important development that is quite helpful
for the modern Indian retail investor.

Digital
Education and Awareness

The most
important tool for this new generation of investors is education. These days, a
lot of platforms provide free video courses and webinars in Tamil, Marathi,
Hindi, and other languages. People can better comprehend complicated concepts
like &quot;market cap&quot; and &quot;dividend&quot; in their native tongue now.


Additionally,
investors are becoming more aware of the risks. They aren&#039;t merely relying on
gratuities anymore. They are instead making use of the technical charts and
fundamental analysis tools that their brokers have recommended to them. This
maturity indicates that the market is becoming less speculative and steadier.

The
Economic Impact of Regional Wealth Creation

The rise of
investing in smaller towns is creating a new wave of local wealth. Now, as
people in Tier 2 hubs invest in successful companies, wealth creation
opportunities are also available in these areas too. This change ensures that
financial gains are more evenly distributed across the country.

A family
with moderate income can also now fund important goals, like education or home
ownership, using their market returns. This shift helps  ]]></description>

<p></p>
<h2><b><span>Role of Smart Trading Solutions</span></b></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>People from Tier-2 cities look for ways to save their money as they enter the market. High fees can be difficult for a beginner. This is where modern brokers help, providing advanced features and reliable services. They offer tools that make trading affordable for everyone, regardless of their budget.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The </span><a href="https://blinkx.in/zero-brokerage-trading-account"><span>zero-brokerage trading account</span></a><span> has changed the investment strategy. It allows new investors to buy and hold stocks without paying high commission fees. For someone starting with a small amount, saving on brokerage means a reasonable percentage of their investment is retained. This model is popular in Tier 2 cities, where cost efficiency is primary.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Key factors driving the growth:<span></span></span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span><span>●<span>      </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><b><span>Mobile First Approach: </span></b><span>Apps are now easy to use and available in local languages.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span><span>●<span>      </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><b><span>Low Entry Barriers:</span></b><span> You can start investing with small amounts of money.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span><span>●<span>      </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><b><span>Faster Settlements:</span></b><span> The T+1 settlement cycle ensures that you get your money or shares quickly.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><b><span>Clearing on Stock Trading Myths</span></b></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>First-time investors used to worry about the difficulties of the stock market. They thought hidden costs and complicated paperwork would reduce their savings. However, the tech-driven and transparent digital platforms have cleared these doubts. Now, individuals across the country have access to the same market data as professional traders. This is an important development that is quite helpful for the modern Indian retail investor.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><b><span>Digital Education and Awareness</span></b></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The most important tool for this new generation of investors is education. These days, a lot of platforms provide free video courses and webinars in Tamil, Marathi, Hindi, and other languages. People can better comprehend complicated concepts like "market cap" and "dividend" in their native tongue now. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Additionally, investors are becoming more aware of the risks. They aren't merely relying on gratuities anymore. They are instead making use of the technical charts and fundamental analysis tools that their brokers have recommended to them. This maturity indicates that the market is becoming less speculative and steadier.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><b><span>The Economic Impact of Regional Wealth Creation</span></b></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The rise of investing in smaller towns is creating a new wave of local wealth. Now, as people in Tier 2 hubs invest in successful companies, wealth creation opportunities are also available in these areas too. This change ensures that financial gains are more evenly distributed across the country.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>A family with moderate income can also now fund important goals, like education or home ownership, using their market returns. This shift helps balance the national economy and reduces the heavy financial pressure on mega-cities. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><b><span>Conclusion</span></b></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The future of India’s economy is moving toward growing urban towns. As technology advances, the gap between metros and smaller cities has lessened. Platforms like BlinkX are helping this transition by providing reliable and user-friendly trading services to everyone. This digital revolution is making every Indian a part of the country's financial success.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Würfel, India’s leading luxury modular
kitchen and wardrobe brand, has won the eminent Good Design Award, marking a
milestone in its journey from homegrown innovation to global recognition.



Würfel, India’s premier luxury modular
kitchen and wardrobe brand, has earned global acclaim by winning the Good
Design Award 2025. This recognition is for its exceptional creation, the Katha
Kitchen Series, a testament to Würfel’s unwavering commitment to human-centric
design that transcends aesthetics to touch emotion and identity.

Dream Designed in India, Celebrated Globally

Founded in 2015, Würfel entered the
Indian market with a vision to redefine modular kitchens and interior solutions
with design excellence, superior quality, and unmatched customer service. Over the
years, it has not only led the Indian market but also aimed to put Indian
design on the global stage. This global honour from Good Design signifies more
than just a design win; it affirms Würfel’s philosophy of combining
storytelling, craftsmanship, and design with purpose. It places Würfel among
the world’s leading innovators, shaping the future of design.


About Good Design Award

The Good Design Award is one of the world’s most
respected platforms, recognising excellence in design across product, architecture,
and engineering. It honours work that demonstrates outstanding innovation,
functionality, and relevance, evaluated by an international jury of design and
industry experts.

To be recognised by the Good Design Award is to be
acknowledged among the world’s most thoughtful and forward-looking brands,
those who design with clarity, purpose, and responsibility.


Katha Kitchen: A Living Memoir

Inspired by the word Katha, meaning
&#039;story&#039; in many Indian languages, this kitchen series is one of Würfel&#039;s most
emotionally evocative creations. More than a functional space, the Katha
Kitchen is a narrative brought to life, a bespoke canvas reflecting the
homeowner’s memories, rituals, and aspirations.

Designed to be an extension of one’s
personality, Katha blends architecture with autobiography. Its elegance lies in
its ability to hold meaning, making every element personal and powerful. The
Katha series is where storytelling meets timeless design, winning hearts and
awards alike.


What Sets Würfel Apart?

Würfel’s growing acclaim stems not only
from its striking aesthetics but also from the depth of craftsmanship and the
seamless service woven into every creation.



1. European Craftsmanship, Indian
Sensibilities

Würfel sources its materials and
hardware from Europe’s top manufacturers, while adapting its designs to suit
the demands of Indian homes and cooking styles, combining international quality
with local practicality.



2. Lifetime Warranty

Reinforcing their trust in product
longevity, Würfel offers a lifetime* warranty on its kitchens, a rare
commitment in the segment, offering customers confidence and peace of mind.

 

3. Customisation &amp; Space
Efficiency

From apartments to large villas,
Würfel’s modular solutions maximise space without compromising on style,
delivering tailor-made designs for every homeowner.

 

4. Diverse Finishes &amp;
Personalisation

With a wide palette of finishes,
colours, and textures, Würfel allows homeowners to personalise their kitchens
and wardrobes down to the last detail.

 

5. Exceptional Service

The Würfel experience extends beyond the
showroom. Thanks to a well-trained installation and after-sales team that
ensures a smooth and satisfactory journey for every client.

 

6. Transparent &amp; Responsible
Würfel takes pride in its
transparent practices and responsible sourcing, ensuring that what looks
beautiful on the outside is equally sustainable at its core.

 

7. Design-Led Innovation
Innovation is continuous at
Würfel. From mechanisms to materials, the brand continually improves to meet
the evolving lifestyle needs of its customers.


A Global Milestone, Rooted in Indian Values

Winning the Good Design Award marks
another milestone in Würfel’s journey, 
not just as a brand, but as an ambassador for India.“This recognition
for the Katha kitchen reinforces our belief that exceptional design is personal,”
said a Würfel spokesperson. “We are proud to bring Indian storytelling into the
global design dialogue.”

By presenting authentic Indian
narratives through a global design lens, Würfel positions itself among elite
design houses that shape meaningful and impactful living experiences worldwide.


Looking Ahead: Designing with Soul

For Würfel, this recognition is not a culmination,
but a meaningful step forward in an evolving journey. The brand remains deeply
committed to designing kitchens that go beyond aesthetics, spaces that are
emotionally intelligent, functionally refined, and built with longevity in
mind.

As homes in India continue to evolve, Würfel seeks

<description><![CDATA[ Kattakkada, Kerala &amp; Bengaluru, India : Shri Sai Padukananda Swami, a modern
spiritual guide deeply rooted in the teachings of Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi,
continues to inspire communities with his message of compassion, unity, and
selfless service to humanity. Through the efforts of the Shirdi Sai
Vidya Peetha Trust, Swamiji’s vision is transforming spiritual values into
real-world impact that uplifts lives across multiple states in India.

 

With a focus on human dignity and service
beyond all divisions of religion, caste, and background, the Trust’s
initiatives range from feeding the hungry to healthcare camps and
educational support for underprivileged children. Guided by Swamiji’s
belief that “service itself is spirituality”, volunteers work tirelessly
to bring hope, healing, and practical support to thousands.

 

A cornerstone of this mission is the Annadanam
(food charity) program, which provides freshly prepared meals to those in
need — a direct expression of Sai Baba’s timeless teachings on charity and
compassion.

 

In addition, the Trust organizes Mega
Health Camps offering free medical services, community outreach initiatives
including clothing and basic essentials distribution, and support for shelters
— all underlining the belief that every act of service reflects divine love
in action.

 

Shri Sai Padukananda Swami’s journey — from early spiritual awakening to dedicated service — embodies a
life led with humility, faith, and devotion to the welfare of all beings.
His teachings emphasize that true spirituality is not measured in rituals,
but in compassion shown to others.

 

“We serve not to be seen — we serve so no soul
feels forgotten,” says Swamiji, encapsulating the Trust’s foundational ethos as
it expands its mission across India.

 

About the Shirdi Sai Vidya Peetha Trust
Founded to translate profound spiritual teachings into compassionate
service, the Shirdi Sai Vidya Peetha Trust champions humanitarian programs
across India, guided by the vision of Shri Sai Padukananda Swami. Its
initiatives focus on feeding the hungry, providing healthcare, supporting
education, restoring dignity, and fostering peace and unity across communities.

<title>Srijan Group Forays into Organised Fashion Retail with ‘Srijan Style’</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/srijan-group-forays-into-organised-fashion-retail-with-srijan-style</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/srijan-group-forays-into-organised-fashion-retail-with-srijan-style</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

26
February 2026 : Srijan Group today announced its entry into
organised fashion retail with the launch of Srijan Style, marking a
strategic diversification into India’s fast-growing value consumption segment.

The
Group has committed an initial investment of ₹500+ crores to build Srijan Style
into a national chain. The expansion will focus primarily in Tier 2, Tier 3 and
Tier 4 markets—regions driving the next wave of consumption growth through
rising disposable incomes and accelerating formal retail penetration.

The
announcement was made in Kolkata in the presence of senior leadership,
including Shyam Sunder Agarwal, Chairman &amp; Managing Director, Srijan
Realty Pvt. Ltd.; Sanjay Agarwal, Managing Director, Srijan Mart Pvt.
Ltd.; Keshav Agarwal, Director, Srijan Realty Pvt. Ltd.; and Gaurav
Saraogi, Vice President, Srijan Mart Pvt. Ltd.

Positioned
as a “Family Destination,” Srijan Style will offer affordable fashion and
essential general merchandise through an organised, high-efficiency retail
format. Stores will average approximately 8,000 sq. ft., optimised for
inventory productivity, operating leverage and store-level profitability.

The
merchandise strategy centers on high-volume, fast-turn categories priced
between ₹99 and ₹1,999, with the majority below ₹999—balancing affordability
with quality and margin discipline. Built on three pillars—Variety, Value
and Experience—the brand will offer fashion across casual, formal and
ethnic wear for men, women and kids. A disciplined fashion calendar, seasonal
drops and curated edits will drive freshness, repeat footfall and tight
inventory management.

Shyam
Sunder Agarwal, Chairman &amp; Managing Director, Srijan Realty Pvt. Ltd.,
said “Emerging India will define the next phase of consumption growth. With
Srijan Style, we are entering organised fashion retail with a long-term,
capital-disciplined approach. Our strength in location strategy and execution
gives us the confidence to build a scalable national platform anchored in
sustainable growth.”

Sanjay
Agarwal, Managing Director, Srijan Mart Pvt. Ltd.,
added “Srijan Style is designed as a high-efficiency retail engine.
Standardised store formats, tight inventory cycles and data-led merchandising
will drive strong per-store productivity. Our goal is simple — deliver quality
fashion at accessible prices, consistently and at scale.”

Keshav
Agarwal, Director, Srijan Realty Pvt. Ltd.,
said “Organised value fashion in Tier 2–4 India offers strong structural demand
and operating leverage. With calibrated capex and integrated real estate
control, Srijan Style is positioned to deliver predictable cash flows and
sustainable long-term returns.”

Gaurav
Saraogi, Vice President, Srijan Mart Pvt. Ltd.,
said “Our brand ambition is clear — to be the most trusted destination for
everyday value and fashion. Every decision, from assortment to pricing, is
anchored in that promise. As we grow, any strategic partnerships will align
strictly with our commitment to affordable, dependable value.”

The
company is executing a disciplined rollout, starting with 10 stores in the
first quarter to establish a solid operational foundation. This momentum
scales to 50 locations by the end of FY26–27, setting a clear trajectory
for growth. Ultimately, the brand aims for country-wide expansion,
transitioning from a regional player into a national leader.

The
journey will begin from Eastern India, anchored by a flagship store planned in
Gariahat, along with stores in Bandel, Madhyamgram, Serampore, Bagnan, Sodepur,
Murarai and Asansol, subsequently scaling across high-potential clusters across
the country.

About Srijan Group

Srijan
Group is a diversified Indian conglomerate with a strong legacy of more than 2
decades in real estate. Known for disciplined execution, capital prudence and
long-term value creation, the Group’s entry into organised retail reflects its
strategy to build scalable businesses aligned with India’s structural growth
themes. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
New AI-powered extranet streamlines hotel
operations with real-time inventory, pricing and promotion management

●       
Launch marks a key step in ixigo’s expansion
of its hotels ecosystem and supply-side capabilities

Gurugram,
India, 26th February 2026 : ixigo, India’s leading AI-based travel
platform, today announced the launch of HELLO (Hotel Extranet for Listing,
Loading and Operations), an AI-powered platform designed to simplify hotel
listings, content management and day-to-day operations for accommodation
partners. The dedicated portal offers a unified interface that enables hotels
to manage inventory, rates and promotions with greater efficiency and
transparency.

HELLO,
ixigo’s AI-powered hotel extranet, is built to help hotel partners
streamline business management through a single platform while providing
greater operational control. It enables hotels to upload and manage
property and room-level content, including images and amenities, while offering
a clear calendar-based view of room availability and pricing. Several leading
hotel brands and chains have already been onboarded on HELLO, including Club
Mahindra, Zone by The Park Hotels, Suba Hotels, Clarks
Hotels, Treebo Hotels, Udman Hotels, Mastiff Hotels, and Lords
Hotels &amp; Resorts.

The
AI-powered hotel extranet enables partners to create and manage a wide range of
promotions, including last-minute deals, early-bird offers, day-wise campaigns
and flat discounts. Hotels can also design targeted offers for specific user
segments, such as closed user groups and travellers with active trips, through
a dedicated dashboard that provides a consolidated view of all active
promotions. By enabling hotels to launch exclusive offers and dynamic pricing
strategies, HELLO helps improve conversion rates and occupancy, particularly in
high-demand domestic destinations and for short-lead bookings.

Speaking
on the launch, Rajnish Kumar, Group Co-CEO &amp; Aloke Bajpai, Group CEO,
ixigo, said,  “Hotels is a
strategic focus area for us, and we are steadily investing in building stronger
supply and AI-enabled tools for our partners. With HELLO, we are moving beyond
distribution to deliver deeper capabilities that give hotels greater control,
transparency and speed in managing their business on our platform. As we expand
supply through third-party integrations and direct partnerships, our focus
remains on helping high-quality hotel partners grow demand more efficiently.
HELLO is an important step towards creating a simpler, more performance-driven
ecosystem for hotels while strengthening ixigo’s hotels business.”

HELLO
comes with role-based access and secure login features, allowing structured
permissions across teams. The platform offers transparent payment tracking and
timely settlement cycles, ensuring clarity on payouts and commissions. Hotels
using select channel managers can now directly connect and sync rates and
inventory with ixigo, enabling real-time parity and reducing manual effort.

<title>How AI&amp;driven forecasting and route optimization connect shop&amp;floor planning with faster, cost&amp;efficient deliveries</title>

<description><![CDATA[ In
manufacturing today, successful outcomes no longer emerge merely from managing
a bill of materials and tracking what’s in stock. A decade and a half ago,
ensuring raw materials were available and goods left the factory on time might
have been enough. But the expectations of “just-in-time” production have
evolved into something far more demanding: just-right and just-fast,
where production cycles are tightly linked with real customer demand and an
optimized distribution network.

This
new reality essentially demands visibility using connected systems, and this
can be achieved by closing the gap between production planning and dispatch
execution. Without clear insights about demand patterns or distribution
movement, manufacturers end up overproducing, over stocking slow-moving SKUs,
or missing delivery timelines, leading to heavy operational costs. 

At
the core of this shift lies the ability to predict demand accurately.
Obsolete forecasting methods based on historical sales data and intuition often
struggle with frequent market changes, seasonal swings, and multi-channel
demand patterns. This can be resolved when we are aware of sales trends,
external signals, and environmental factors. This is possible through
artificial intelligence and machine learning to anticipate demand far more
precisely from the live data.

Research shows that
AI-enabled forecasting can improve accuracy by up to 50%, wherein manufacturers
can align production more closely with actual consumption. The impact is clear:
leaner inventory, fewer stockouts, and reduced waste. When forecasting
improves, production stops being reactive. Plants schedule runs based on
anticipated demand, vendor requirements are managed proactively, and working
capital is used more efficiently. Instead of producing what might sell,
manufacturers produce what will sell.

Even
with accurate production planning, manufacturers can lose competitiveness at
the dispatch stage. Logistics costs, which can represent up to 15% of
finished goods value are influenced by route planning, shipment volume,
and delivery efficiency. A delayed dispatch or poorly optimized load can
directly impact margins and customer trust. The complexity that comes from
route planning manually using excel or static maps, cannot effectively account
for real-time traffic, last-minute order changes, delivery priorities, or load
optimization. This complexity might sound theoretically possible but
practically avoided.

AI changes this dynamic. Route and dispatch
optimization tools evaluate delivery nodes, order sizes, truck capacities, and
external variables such as traffic or weather in real time. This enables
smarter load consolidation, shorter routes, lower fuel consumption, and
improved on-time delivery. Data shows that AI-enabled route optimization can
reduce transportation costs and improve delivery reliability across logistics
networks, outcomes that are difficult to sustain through manual
coordination alone.

From
Fragmentation to a Connected Operational Loop

When
demand forecasting, production planning, and dispatch optimization operate
within a unified system, they form a continuous operational loop.

●       
Inventory aligns with actual demand rather
than static projections.

●       
Production responds to market signals instead
of internal calendars.

●       
Dispatch decisions are made with complete
visibility of orders and logistics constraints.

This
consolidated system reduces mismatches between supply and demand, reducing
wastage, and enhancing responsiveness. AI-powered systems can process thousands
of these variables simultaneously and provide data-backed decisions, something
which is humanly difficult to achieve. Limiting this gap between production and
dispatch extends beyond improving efficiency; it strengthens resilience. In a
world where supply chain disruptions and fluctuating demand has become common,
manufacturers that can forecast accurately and optimize dispatch dynamically
are equipped to adapt better. 

Integrated
platforms that unify shop-floor execution, demand signals, and logistics
planning increase transparency and enable proactive decision-making. The result
is lower costs, better service levels, and stronger customer relationships.

The
transition from broken to a unified production-to-dispatch workflow reflects a
fundamental shift in how manufacturing views data and execution. It no longer
ends at the factory gate, it stretches beyond till delivery performance.

At
EAZY,  we
translate this philosophy into intelligent execution. By consolidating demand
forecasting, production planning, and dispatch optimization within a single
platform, from shop floor to delivery. This provides real-time visibility,
minimizes delays, and streamlines logistics, eventually turning
production-to-dispatch into a seamless, data-driven workflow. ]]></description>

<title>1 in 2 Indians admit to having preferred sexual interaction with AI over intimacy with their partner states a survey by Gleeden with IPSOS</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/1-in-2-indians-admit-to-having-preferred-sexual-interaction-with-ai-over-intimacy-with-their-partner-states-a-survey-by-gleeden-with-ipsos</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 26th
February 2026 : AI is not just being used for emails or tasks
at work anymore  it’s now coming into the
bedrooms and relationships of many Indians. 
A recent study conducted by Gleeden, the world’s largest extramarital
dating app made by women for women, has officially surpassed 4 million users in
India,a major milestone driven by an impressive 148% increase in female users
over the past two years.in association with IPSOS, has shown that 49% of
Indians have had at least one occasion where they chose to be sexually intimate
with an AI rather than have physical sex with their partner; however, 65% still
believe that erotic interactions with AI is cheating.

The
study surveyed a sample of 1500 individuals from both tier 1 and tier 2 cities
around India to assess how AI is changing dating, emotional connection, and
infidelity in the modern Indian relationship. What was revealed is the huge gap
between behaviours and beliefs. Overall, the results demonstrate how quickly AI
has become viewed as an intimate partner. Approximately 63% of survey
respondents stated that they had used conversational AI as a coach for
enhancing their seduction methods, improving their dating profile, analysing
what they have shared with people they are interested in, and gathering
information to conduct a successful first date.

Outside
of flirting, AI has now reached into the most personal parts of people&#039;s lives
because approximately 60% of those surveyed used it to provide sexual
counselling and/or therapy-related advice. Additionally, approximately 64% used
AI to provide assistance for dealing with personal relationship challenges with
their partner or spouse. The change is not limited to simply asking for advice.
Rather, for many people in India, AI has replaced their spouse as their sexual
partner. The study indicated that about 54% of those surveyed have set up a
virtual AI partner with whom to have sexual interactions, while 58% report
having created a virtual partner for genuine emotional and romantic
interactions, such as exchanging kisses and cuddles. In addition, 52% of those
surveyed have created erotic materials using AI, and 49% have created deepfakes
using celebrities or known individuals; furthermore, no major gender
differences were discovered in any of these cases.

One
of the most shocking discoveries is that the feeling of being alone drives a
large majority of individuals to adopt artificial intelligence. Of those who
answered the question about their romantic life, 92% are content, and 89% are
sexually satisfied, however, 57% report feelings of &quot;loneliness,&quot;
which is a significant indicator that many people are seeking AI as a form of
emotional companionship. In addition, the use of AI for both emotional and
sexual interaction has also resulted in addiction; in fact, 46% of respondents
indicated they have been affected at a similar level to the addictive nature of
pornography.

At
the same time, social stigma still exists regarding AI and sexual exchanges.
More than 60% of individuals in India consider sexual exchanges with an AI to
be cheating on their partner, and almost 70% report that they would be shocked
to find out that their partner was engaging in erotic interaction with AI.
Additionally, almost 70% of individuals do not feel comfortable sharing their
AI chat history with their partner, and both genders show this uncomfortable
feeling, with women exhibiting a larger discomfort than men. This data
indicates a growing disparity between private experimentation with AI for
sexual purposes, and the morality of public attitudes.

In
India, divorce rates are among the lowest globally, as arranged marriages make
up the largest number of marriages; and although there appears to be a strong
sense of marital stability, technology is redefining how couples interact. An
AI is no longer simply an assistant to an individual, but an emotional entity
within a couple&#039;s interactions.

Sybil
Shiddell, Country Manager for Gleeden India, commented “We see an emotional
change occurring as AI becomes not just a functional tool but also a place
where people can seek validation, make fantasy, or find comfort. Many people
are exploring this new world in secret; feeling guilty and curious at the same
time, and yet many of these  people feel
their partner has been unfaithful for doing the same thing. This is not really
a disruptive force because of technology but instead because of emotional
responses to AI. The future of partnership and relationships will be determined
by the way people establish boundaries, are honest with each other, and build
intimacy in a time when AI will play an important role. As the Gleeden–IPSOS
study indicates, it is not if AI will change our relationships, but in what
way, how much will be affected, and how will these changes affect our emotional
connections?”

<title>ABB leads industrial water stewardship with AWS gold certification at Nelamangala site</title>

<description><![CDATA[ BENGALURU,
INDIA, February 26, 2026:

●       
ABB became the fourth company in India and the
first across the automotive, electrical equipment and machinery production
sector to achieve the stakeholder-focused AWS gold certification

●       
~85% of treated water recycled, enabling
groundwater replenishment at a rate nearly 1.25 times faster than the
consumption rate

●       
Groundwater levels increased by ~30% as
compared to its baseline year 2023, with an annual rainwater harvesting
potential of over 200 million litres, enough to meet the daily water needs of
over 400,000 urban Indian households

ABB
India recently achieved a landmark sustainability achievement: its Nelamangala,
Bengaluru Rural manufacturing campus was awarded the prestigious Gold-level
certification under the internationally recognised Alliance for Water
Stewardship (AWS) Standard. This achievement aligns with India’s National Water
Policy and the country’s focus on sustainable industrial development. It
reinforces national objectives to improve industrial water-use efficiency and
reduce dependence on groundwater, while helping decouple manufacturing growth
from freshwater consumption. ABB becomes only the fourth company in India, and
the first in the automotive, electrical equipment, and machinery production
sector, to earn this rigorous, stakeholder-focused certification.

The
certification process involved structured engagement with a wide range of
external stakeholders. This included suppliers, non-governmental organisations,
local communities, neighbouring industries, regulatory authorities, and sustainability
and industry bodies. These engagements were integral to assessing shared water
risks, validating on-ground interventions, and aligning site-level water
stewardship actions with broader catchment and community priorities.

ABB’s
Nelamangala site, among the company’s most modern campuses, brings together a
workforce of over 1,800 across multiple divisions, spread over approximately
56,000 sq. m. The AWS certification confirms that the site meets a globally
recognised benchmark for responsible water stewardship and leadership, covering
water governance, sustainable water balance, water quality, and shared
catchment outcomes. As per The Energy and Resources Institute, industrial water
use in India accounts for approximately 8–10% of total freshwater withdrawal
and industrial water demand is expected to increase from 56 billion cubic
meters (BCM) in 2010 to 151 BCM by 2050. By aligning industrial operations with
local water realities, the site has demonstrated how manufacturing facilities
can be both technologically advanced and environmentally regenerative, while
creating long-term shared value for industry and its local communities and
ecosystems.

Key
achievements include:

●     
Water replenishment nearly 1.25x
– the site replenishes nearly 1.25x more water than it consumes.

●     
Around 85% of treated water is recycled
within the facility. 

●     
Over 200 million litres
of annual rainwater harvesting potential through implementation of conventional
as well as cross wave technology, enough to meet the daily domestic water needs
of approximately 400,000 urban households. Engaged 44 local suppliers in
the catchment area on water stewardship initiatives by sharing best practices
on sustainable water management, as part of wider catchment-level efforts, with
several suppliers subsequently initiating their own rainwater harvesting
initiatives.

“Water
stewardship today must go beyond operational efficiency to delivering shared
outcomes for communities and ecosystems. The AWS Gold certification recognises
our deliberate focus on measurable groundwater recharge, transparent water
governance, and sustained stakeholder engagement. At Nelamangala, we have
demonstrated that industrial growth can be decoupled from freshwater
dependence, creating a model that is scalable, locally relevant, and aligned
with India’s long-term water security priorities,” said Saju SR, Senior Vice
President, Smart Power Division. ABB India

In
addition to on-site interventions, ABB has partnered with Third Planet
Foundation to implement a large-scale groundwater recharge programme across 70
villages in Nelamangala. The initiative supports long-term water security for
local communities and agriculture. Together, these efforts position ABB India’s
Nelamangala campus as a scalable model for responsible industrial water
stewardship, demonstrating how industry, communities, and institutions can work
together to strengthen shared water resources. By integrating site-level
efficiency with local groundwater recharge and stakeholder collaboration, ABB’s
approach supports regional water resilience while aligning industrial growth
with India’s long-term water security priorities.

<description><![CDATA[ NewsReach
brings you unfiltered stories from professionals shaping the world of branding
on Brand Ki Baat.

It
is easy to be seen in today’s business world, but credibility is not. Brand
voices have never been louder but amplification alone cannot make a lasting
effect. It is execution that makes the difference.For any smooth customer
experience, there is an unseen engine of 
process, infrastructure, and intent. And behind all that is the story of
clarity that drives the intent. Today, a brand is no longer defined by what it
says in fact it is defined by what it delivers consistently. A market that is
becoming impatient and consumers prone to frantic demands of instant
gratification compel businesses to think not only about the way they
communicate, but also about the way they conduct their business. The process
and storytelling intersect at a point of building durable brands.

Welcome
to Crafting Bharat: Brand Ki Baat Mumbai Edition, industry first podcast
about brands, businesses and people who make them and build them inside out. In
this engaging episode, host Kartik Chawla is joined by Amitabh
Saksena, Founder and MD of Actimedia, PR and Digital, and Sameer Varma,
Executive Director at Coldstar Logistics in this entertaining episode
discussing entrepreneurship, reality of supply chains, B2B storytelling and the
changing demands of the modern consumer.

This series is proudly
brought to you by NewsReach, India’s leading PR-tech platform, with
Production Partner HT Smartcast; Gifting Partner Nanaji Natural and Beauty
Partner Lakme Academy. Tune in for stories, insights, and inspiration!

Excerpts

Coldstar
is operating in 7,000 pin codes and 200 plus cities. What was a key obstacle
which challenged your operations?

Sameer
Varma: I would like to begin with something easy. A
day or so back, I entered a famous bakery in Bandra. Back in the days, it was
normal to wait 20 minutes to get a croissant. And that wait is unbearable
today. It is that change in consumer expectation that has been transforming
logistics.

We
have swapped three days delivery to overnight, then six hours and to fifteen
minutes now. Shoppers became accustomed to immediate gratification. And when
they are accustomed to it, they cannot turn it back.

The
real challenge for us was not that it was difficult. The challenge was figuring
out how to solve for a demand that did not even fully exist yet. The technology
stack had to be torn into pieces and reconstructed again. Retrain our teams.
Rethink leadership. Since as a logistics company you are not merely finding a
solution to meet the present demand, you are finding a solution to the
aspiration.

How do you
approach B2B storytelling, especially in a space like logistics?

Amitabh
Saksena: Everything is a brand. You are a brand. I am a
brand. Coldstar is a brand. The difference lies in the tools used.

In
our case, things always start with messaging. Why does the brand exist? What is
its DNA? What is its personality? Communication is sterner in case you see
that.

The
first question that Sameer asked me when I first met him was a simple one, what
sells best on New Year? We guessed candies, icecreams, and drinks. The answer
was ice. That’s where the story begins. And the way it goes through a cold
chain and gets in your hand just when you needed it.

B2B
storytelling is the search for human points of entry. The audience may vary,
but the principle remains the same. Make it relevant. Make it relatable. And
most of all, make it unique.

What
is the biggest myth on logistics and supply chain?

Sameer
Varma: The majority believes that logistics is a
matter of trucks, warehouses and riders. But there exists an engine that makes
it happen. Technology, forecasting and process is that engine.

With
an effective supply chain, it makes the faces of the people to smile. When your
food is delivered to your table in good condition, when the product is not out
of stock, that is logistics that works flawlessly. The complexity is hidden.
And that invisibility is the proof of real impact. 

What
was the origin of Actmedia and what was its philosophy?

Amitabh
Saksena: Actimedia was founded in 1998 when one of my
colleagues challenged me to make the jump. She said, what we can do for others,
we can do for ourselves. ExxonMobil became our first customer, which is a
fortune 500 company. That set the tone.

As
the years went on we drifted towards lifestyle and we decided we were not going
to go blindly after scale. We wanted curated clients. It was not about being
the largest PR company. It was concerned with being the best in the brands we
serve.

Happy
people make happy clients. This has been our philosophy. When internal culture
is high, the external communication is also a miracle of that culture.

In a fast
growing business world, what breaks first: process or communication?

Sameer

<title>Rustomjee Launches Cliff Tower, a niche Residential Project with ~INR 825 Cr GDV</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
26th February 2026 : Rustomjee Group, one of
Mumbai’s leading real estate brands, has announced the launch of Rustomjee
Cliff Tower, an ultra-luxury residential development at the highest point
of the Mount Mary precinct in Bandra. Located within one of the city’s most
heritage-rich and supply-constrained neighbourhoods, the project introduces a
rare collection of expansive residences overlooking the Arabian Sea, Bandra
Bay, and the Mumbai skyline.

A
niche landmark tower rising with distinction, Cliff Tower is a low-density,
design-led development offering a limited inventory of 4 and 5 BHK
residences. With only a handful of residences and just two homes per
floor, the project delivers an exclusive living environment, complete with
semi-private lift lobbies and panoramic views of the sea and the city, a rarity
in Bandra’s mature urban fabric.

Designed
by Sanjay Puri Architects, with interiors by Patty Mak and
landscape design by Kunal Maniar Associates, Cliff Tower reflects a philosophy
of quiet luxury, where space, light, proportion, and restraint define
the experience. The building form responds directly to the site’s triangular
geometry, unlocking wider viewing angles while maintaining a restrained
silhouette that respects the heritage-sensitive Mount Mary context. A majority
of the inventory is oriented toward prime sea-facing directions, reinforcing
the project’s niche positioning.

Commenting
on the launch, Mr. Boman Irani, Chairman and Managing Director,
Rustomjee Group, said, “Mount Mary is one of Mumbai’s most established and
culturally significant neighbourhoods. Any development here must justify its
presence. With Cliff Tower, our approach has been deliberate and disciplined,
to build homes that respect the character of the precinct while offering a
truly differentiated living experience.

We
have consciously chosen a low-density format. In a location like Bandra, space,
privacy and uninterrupted views are increasingly rare. Rather than maximise
volume, we prioritised proportion, natural light, and long-term livability. The
design responds to the site, not the other way around.

At
Rustomjee, we believe longevity is the ultimate measure of luxury. Cliff Tower
reflects our conviction that truly valuable real estate is defined not by
excess, but by clarity of design, integrity of execution, and its ability to
remain relevant over time. We see this as a landmark that will quietly hold its
place on Mount Mary for decades to come.”



Residences
at Cliff Tower include expansive 4 BHK homes ranging from ~2700 sq. ft.,
as well as 5 BHK residences and duplexes exceeding 4,300 sq. ft., many
of which open onto deep sundecks offering near 270-degree views of
the Arabian Sea. Living and dining spaces are oriented toward the sea,
while bedrooms are positioned along the perimeter to maximise light and
openness. Dedicated foyers, separate service entries and generous
floor-to-floor heights further enhance the residential experience.

The
arrival experience is designed to establish a feeling of a luxury hotel. A
high-ceiling entrance creates a strong first impression, complemented by French
arch inspired details and natural stone finishes that add warmth and definition
to the space.

Cliff
Tower reflects Rustomjee’s focus on long-term value through thoughtful design.
Designed for families who value intimate spaces , longevity and cultural
relevance, the project’s limited inventory, prime setting and design-led
approach make it a rare residential offering in Bandra, where creating new
homes of this calibre are increasingly limited.

About Rustomjee Group: Incorporated in 1995, Keystone Realtors Limited is one of the
prominent MMR based real estate developers and a leader in the redevelopment
space. The company has a substantial portfolio of projects spanning the Mumbai
Metropolitan Region (MMR), with 38 Completed Projects, 20 Ongoing Projects and
24 Forthcoming Projects that cover all price points from Affordable to Super
Premium. So far, the company has delivered over 28+ million square feet of
construction area, with a pipeline of over 47 million square feet of
construction area in the works. A strategic asset-light approach, an integrated
real estate development model, and a strong eye for quality and detail gives
the Company&#039;s management team an edge over its peers. By successfully housing
18000+ families including re-housing 1800+ existing families through several
redevelopment projects, the company has detailed understanding of
(re)development process and is committed to generating value for all its
stakeholders. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, February 26, 2026 : Uncle Peter’s Pancakes, one of India’s
fastest-growing dessert QSR brand owned by Bogmalo Foods and Hospitality Pvt
Ltd, marked the second edition of its National Pancake Day with record-breaking
participation across the country. The celebration drew more than 50,000
footfalls across 110+ outlets spread over 45 cities, further strengthening the
brand’s position in India’s fast-evolving dessert café segment.

Building
on the momentum of its inaugural edition last year, this year’s National
Pancake Day turned into a nationwide celebration of indulgence and community.
Most outlets recorded 3–4x higher pancake sales compared to a normal business
day, reflecting strong consumer enthusiasm and the growing popularity of the
brand’s signature offerings.

Customers
across India visited Uncle Peter’s Pancakes outlets to indulge in a specially
curated festive menu featuring crowd favorites such as Nutella Pancakes,
Tiramisu Pancakes, Death By Chocolate Pancakes, and Fresh Fruit Pancakes. The
celebration also spotlighted bestselling waffle varieties including the Triple
Chocolate Waffle and Nutella Waffle, offering guests a complete dessert
experience tailored to families, young consumers, and dessert lovers.

A
major highlight of the campaign was its digital-first initiative titled
#IConfesstAtUPP. Designed to blend social media engagement with in-store
participation, the campaign encouraged customers to share their sweetest
dessert confessions online and at outlets. The response was overwhelming,
generating strong digital traction while driving significant offline footfalls
across cities.

“Titled
#IConfesstAtUPP, the campaign has far surpassed expectations—evolving beyond a
traditional product promotion into a powerful, immersive brand experience.
Seeing strong digital engagement seamlessly translate into meaningful offline
footfalls across outlets has made this journey both impactful and inspiring,”
said the Marketing Executive at Uncle Peter’s Pancakes.

in 2019 by Sundeep Singh and Akashdeep Dan, Uncle Peter’s Pancakes has rapidly
expanded to over 110 outlets across PAN India in just a few years. The brand
has carved a niche for itself as a youth-focused dessert destination known for
innovative flavors, vibrant store formats, and accessible pricing. Its ability to
consistently introduce experiential campaigns has helped build a loyal and
growing customer base across metros and emerging cities alike.

The
second edition of National Pancake Day was executed simultaneously across all
participating outlets, featuring special in-store décor, limited-time
celebrations, and interactive engagement elements. The coordinated national
rollout reinforced brand recall while positioning National Pancake Day as a
marquee annual property for the company.

Looking
ahead, Uncle Peter’s Pancakes is gearing up for aggressive expansion. The
company aims to scale its network to 200 outlets by the end of this year,
further strengthening its footprint across key markets in India. With rising
demand for experiential dessert destinations and growing consumer affinity
toward themed food celebrations, the brand is poised to accelerate its growth
trajectory.

As
the curtains fall on the second edition of National Pancake Day, the record
footfalls, significant spike in sales, and widespread digital engagement signal
that the celebration has firmly established itself as a much-anticipated annual
event. For Uncle Peter’s Pancakes, the journey from a single brand idea in 2019
to a nationwide dessert phenomenon continues to gather momentum, one pancake at
a time. ]]></description>

<title>Annapurna Group on Scaling with Purpose: Building a National FMCG Brand Rooted in Purity</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/annapurna-group-on-scaling-with-purpose-building-a-national-fmcg-brand-rooted-in-purity</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ February
2026 : As Annapurna Group
transitions from a strong regional FMCG leader to a rapidly expanding national
brand, its growth story is being shaped not just by scale, but by philosophy.
With over 70 years of legacy and a consistent 15 to 18% CAGR over the past
decade, the Group&#039;s expansion into new markets reflects a deliberate and
value-driven approach. For Annapurna, growth is not merely geographic, it is
purposeful.

At
this stage of its journey, “Scaling with purpose means growing with a clear
goal, not just expanding in size. It is about staying true to our values while
being guided by strong business principles as we evolve into a prominent
national FMCG brand. Our purpose is to uphold the consumer’s right to purity
across a wider range of products and that brings us closer to delivering purity
responsibly and consistently at scale.“

says
Mr. Subir Ghosh, Managing Director, Annapurna Group. The brand&#039;s expansion
across North India, along with plans to strengthen its presence in Southern and
Western markets, is aligned with one central belief that purity is not a
privilege, it is every consumer&#039;s right.

As
Annapurna enters newer regions, the company remains anchored in its four
pillars of purity, namely procuring, processing, packaging, and people. From
ethical sourcing of raw materials to strict SOP-driven manufacturing processes,
systems remain uniform across facilities. The Group follows standardized
quality control protocols and centralized product testing benchmarks.
Distributor partnerships undergo careful due diligence, and teams are aligned
through structured training and leadership reviews. Geography may change, but
the process does not.

The
company&#039;s expansion decisions are guided by discipline rather than haste.
Annapurna prioritizes distribution readiness and operational capacity before
increasing visibility in any new market. Long-term partnerships are valued over
short-term gains. Instead of chasing aggressive growth, the company focuses on
strengthening backend infrastructure to ensure availability, quality
consistency, and supply reliability before undertaking large-scale marketing
initiatives.

In
categories like dairy, food, and beverages, trust is the true currency.
Annapurna&#039;s flagship offering, Annapurna Cow Ghee, has built credibility
through quality, affordability, and transparency. As the company scales, it
continues to invest in research and development, traceability systems, and
production capacity to ensure that operational growth never comes at the cost
of consumer confidence. &quot;Operational growth must strengthen trust
rather than test it,&quot; Mr. Ghosh adds.

Being
value-driven goes beyond ethical sourcing practices, fair pricing, responsible
partnerships, and consistent product integrity. It also means understanding
regional consumer preferences while maintaining supply chain efficiency,
pricing accessibility, and brand credibility, ensuring that expansion is not
just faster, but smarter and more responsible.

As
the organization expands, internal alignment remains a priority. Teams across
regions stay connected to the brand philosophy through SOP-based operational
training, cross-functional leadership engagement, and clear communication of
core principles. The principle of &quot;Your Right to Purity&quot; is
reinforced not just externally but within the organization&#039;s culture. For
Annapurna, purity is not a marketing line, it is an operating discipline.

Entering
new regions is viewed equally as a responsibility as much as an opportunity.
The Group ensures that standards travel with scale and every market entry is
approached with long-term accountability and structured execution.

For
Annapurna Group, success in this phase is measured not solely by market share,
but by repeat consumer trust, stable distribution networks, consistent product
quality, and brand recall built on credibility. Numbers matter, but it is trust
that sustains them over the long run.

Sustainable
growth for Annapurna means expanding categories thoughtfully, strengthening its
leadership across all its categories strategically, and building deeper
pan-India distribution across both traditional and modern trade. The Group is
also present on leading e-commerce and quick-commerce platforms such as Amazon,
Flipkart, and Blinkit, combining digital accessibility with its strong offline
network, while preserving the authenticity that defines its legacy.

While
markets expand and capacities increase, the philosophy stays rooted in one
simple belief that purity must travel with scale. At Annapurna, purity is not a
promise we make, it is a responsibility we carry. We believe purity is your
right, and fulfilling that right is the very purpose of our existence. ]]></description>

<title>Toss the Coin Repositions Karkhana’s brand to reflect its evolution into a full&amp;stack electronics manufacturing partner</title>

<description><![CDATA[ India,
26 Feb, 2026 : Toss the
Coin Ltd., a B2B brand and marketing strategy agency,
has announced the successful rebranding and repositioning of Karkhana,
an electronics manufacturing partner headquartered in Mumbai. The new identity
aligns Karkhana&#039;s brand with its operational evolution, from coordinating
fragmented supplier networks to owning and integrating the full manufacturing
stack.

India&#039;s
Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) sector is expanding at pace, yet a
significant structural gap persists. Large EMS players are optimised for
high-volume programs, while smaller job shops often lack the engineering depth
and integration capabilities required by emerging hardware companies. This
leaves a growing segment of small-to-mid-scale OEMs, across EV, IoT, industrial
automation, and med-tech underserved.

Karkhana
has positioned itself to serve this &quot;missing middle&quot;: companies that
require flexibility, engineering rigour, and scalable production without the
constraints of traditional high-volume manufacturers. Over the past few years,
the company has evolved into a full-stack partner integrating PCB assembly,
mechanical fabrication, box-build, testing, and supply chain management under
one accountable system.

&quot;Our
mission remains the same, to simplify manufacturing for hardware teams,&quot; said
Sonam Motwani, Founder of Karkhana. &quot;But today, we do so with deeper
ownership, stronger systems, and integrated execution. The new identity
reflects who we have become agile, authoritative, and ready for scale.&quot;

As
Karkhana&#039;s capabilities grew, so did the need to ensure its brand reflected the
full depth of what it had become, a deliberate step to match identity with
ambition. 

&quot;The
business had evolved significantly, and the brand positioning needed to reflect
that,&quot; said Reshma Budhia, CEO at Toss the Coin. &quot;Karkhana had
become an engineering-led, digitally integrated electronics manufacturing
partner, and this rebrand was about telling that story with the clarity and
confidence it deserves.&quot;

The
repositioning was rooted in aligning the brand with a new operating philosophy:
one anchored in three defining principles: Listening Smart, reflecting its
engineering-first approach to understanding product intent and design
constraints before execution begins; Adapting Swiftly, representing its agility
across prototyping, sourcing, and production scaling; and Delivering Reliably,
underscoring process discipline, traceability, and accountable execution across
every stage of manufacturing. Together, these principles shaped a new brand
identity that is forward-looking, authoritative, and built to reflect
operational maturity.

The
repositioning also signals long-term ambition. Karkhana is focused on expanding
its supplier ecosystem beyond 500 partners, deepening in-house capabilities
across electronics and mechanical integration, growing its sector presence in
EV, med-tech, aerospace, and industrial electronics, and transitioning
customers from pilot programs to sustained production contracts, with the goal of
becoming the default electronics contract manufacturing partner for India&#039;s
hardware startups and mid-sized OEMs.

The
engagement by Toss the Coin spanned brand strategy, competitive positioning,
identity system development, messaging framework, and rollout guidance, a
comprehensive mandate aimed at making Karkhana the preferred electronics
manufacturing partner of choice with continuous value engineering at scale.

<description><![CDATA[ NEW DELHI, India : Public sector offices and PSUs across India are confronting a critical
administrative challenge, the inability to reliably verify the physical
presence of personnel. For decades, dependence on manual registers and
non-integrated systems has left government institutions vulnerable to proxy
marking and data manipulation. The impact goes far beyond administrative inconvenience
which leads to significant public money losses and creates barriers to
financial transparency and accountability. The transition to Aadhaar-enabled
attendance systems presents a structured solution to these longstanding
inefficiencies, ensuring that every attendance entry is tied to a verified
identity, directly supporting India&#039;s vision for a transparent, digital-first
government.

As India advances toward a $5 trillion economy, the demand for
accountability in public service delivery has never been greater. The Indian
biometric market is witnessing a significant transformation, as institutions
move away from paper-based registers toward automated, identity-verified
attendance solutions, a shift driven in large part by government mandates
requiring Aadhaar-integrated systems to ensure that the individual drawing a
salary is the same physically present at the workplace.

To address the growing demand for a reliable Aadhaar-Enabled Biometric
Attendance System (AEBAS), Realtime Biometrics has launched the T502F Mini, a
secure, identity-verified terminal developed specifically for India&#039;s public
sector. The device offers a dependable mechanism for attendance recording
through face recognition and fingerprint authentication, ensuring that every
entry is biometrically verified and free from the possibility of data
manipulation.

While the primary focus of this launch is government offices and
public sector undertakings, the underlying technology has demonstrated value
across a broad range of industries. In restricted facilities, these terminals
restrict unauthorized access to sensitive or hazardous zones. In healthcare
settings, touchless face recognition enables medical personnel to record
attendance without physical contact, maintaining hygiene standards critical to
clinical environments. In educational institutions, the system provides
administrators and parents with accurate, real-time records of staff presence,
reinforcing accountability at every level.

The T502F Mini is engineered to deliver reliable performance across
India’s diverse connectivity environments. It is currently listed on the
Government e-Marketplace (GeM), enabling direct and streamlined procurement for
government departments and PSUs.



Key Highlights of the New Aadhaar-Enabled Device (T502F Mini):

•     
Aadhaar-enabled
Face &amp; Fingerprint Attendance

•     
AEBAS
compatible for Government &amp; PSU use

•     
5.5-inch
touch display

•     
High-performance
fingerprint scanner (AST300)

•     
Supports
Face Recognition &amp; Fingerprint modalities

•     
Connectivity
options: 4G/5G, Wi-Fi, TCP/IP, Bluetooth, GPS, USB Link

•     
USB Type-C
charging

•     
STQC
Certification for AST300 &amp; SafetyNet compliance

•     
Designed
for high accuracy, fast authentication &amp; real-time data sync

As verified identity becomes central to both governance and workplace
accountability in India, the integration of biometric technology with the
Aadhaar ecosystem represents a meaningful step forward in digital governance.
With over a decade of domain expertise and an extensive partner network across
the country, Realtime Biometrics is actively supporting India&#039;s public sector
in its transition from paper-based processes to verified, tamper-proof
attendance infrastructure.

Realtime Biometrics was founded in 2010 by Mr. Ravander Singh,
Director, with a mission to bridge the gap between enterprise-grade security
technology and the operational needs of Indian organizations. With a presence
across India, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong, the company has established
itself as a trusted partner for thousands of organizations seeking to modernize
their workforce management and security infrastructure.

&quot;Our goal has always been to make professional-grade security
accessible to every organization, regardless of size. We believe that the same
technology trusted in high-security environments should be equally available to
a local school or a small municipal office, because building a culture of
accountability begins with getting the basics right.&quot;

<title>AI, Ethics, and Industry Relevance Take Center Stage at CIM 2026 as Dr. T.V. Rao Receives Lifetime Achievement Award</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
25 February 2026  : The International School of Management Excellence (ISME)
hosted the International Conference on Contemporary Issues in Management (CIM
2026), focusing on the intersection of artificial intelligence, research
ethics, and industry-ready methodologies. The event honored Dr. T.V. Rao, a
renowned HRD pioneer, with the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Dr.
Rao emphasized the importance of human judgment in AI-driven research, stating,
&quot;AI can do almost everything we can do and often faster. But it cannot
deal with the unforeseen. We should use AI, but we should not become dependent
on it.&quot;

His
message resonated through panel discussions and session summaries that examined
how rapidly evolving technology is reshaping research practices in management
education.

Dr.
Nitin Garg, Funder, Director, ISME highlighted the encouraging quality of
submissions. “The credibility of any conference lies in both the number and
quality of papers. It is heartening that many student papers presented here are
of publishable standard,” he said, outlining three pillars of strong research:
a compelling problem statement, robust methodology and a rigorous literature
review.

Key
Takeaways from CIM 2026:

AI
is an enabler, not a replacement- Speakers acknowledged that AI tools have
simplified literature reviews, data organisation and even classroom preparation.
However, concerns were raised about unverified outputs, fabricated references
and rising plagiarism risks. With some institutions now requiring disclosure of
AI usage in research submissions, the consensus was clear: use AI for
assistance, but validate, contextualise and articulate independently. As one
panelist remarked, “AI provides information. Knowledge still requires critical
thinking.”

Ethics
will shape the future of research- Beyond technical capability, ethical
application emerged as a central theme. Discussions focused on maintaining
originality in academic writing and ensuring transparency in AI-assisted
research. Faculty members emphasised that supervisors must guide students in
balancing technological efficiency with academic integrity.

Student
research is becoming more sophisticated- Session chairs observed a notable
shift in methodology. While earlier conferences saw heavy reliance on tools
such as ANOVA and regression, this year’s papers incorporated structural
equation modelling (SEM), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and machine
learning models including Random Forest and XGBoost.

Bridging
academia and industry expectations- A recurring observation was the need to
align research more closely with industry applications. While multivariate
techniques remain academically valuable, industry professionals increasingly
rely on applied analytical tools such as conjoint analysis, MaxDiff and turf
analysis to inform product and strategy decisions.

Panelists
argued that equipping students with such real-world analytical frameworks would
narrow the academia–industry gap and improve employability outcomes.

Conference
themes reflect market evolution.

Dr.
Pallavi Garg, Director, Admissions and External Relations, ISME noted that
while the overarching theme of “contemporary issues” remains constant, the
focus areas evolve annually. “We have moved from logistics and supply chain
discussions to fintech, digital finance and AI. The title remains the same, but
the themes keep renewing themselves,” she said, adding that educators must
prepare students for roles that may not yet exist.

As
CIM 2026 concluded, the Lifetime Achievement Award to Dr. T.V. Rao symbolised
the enduring values of scholarship rigor, integrity and human-centred thinking
even as the tools of research evolve.

The
overarching message from the conference was clear: artificial intelligence may
accelerate research, but its credibility and impact will depend on ethical use,
methodological depth and meaningful industry alignment. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad,
February 25, 2026 : GHR Trivana, the boutique villa
community, has won the Developer of the Year – Villa Award 2026 for
GHR USM Developers at the Realty+ Conclave &amp; Excellence
Awards, held recently in Hyderabad. The recognition highlights the villa
project’s low-density, wellness-led approach in South Hyderabad, combining
thoughtful design, strong connectivity, and a clearly differentiated lifestyle
proposition. Mr. Rohit Reddy Vangala, Director, GHR Infra, accepted the award
in person at the event.

Located
in Tukkuguda (Exit 14, Nehru ORR), GHR Trivana is spread across 5.61
acres and features only 52 villas, keeping density intentionally low for
privacy and a calmer community character. The development offers 4 BHK villas
(239 sq yds) and 5 BHK villas (304 sq yds), with spacious,
multi-generational living and everyday comfort, integrated work-from-home
zones, and carefully composed outdoor spaces. 

GHR
Trivana’s focus on wellness and thoughtfulness

with east and west-facing orientations, maximised cross-ventilation, and
layouts designed to enhance daylight exposure. The project’s amenities include
a swimming pool, gymnasium, a clubhouse, skating rink,
sports courts, step gardens, and dedicated children’s play areas, designed as
everyday infrastructure that supports family life. The project is also
targeting IGBC Gold Pre-Certification, reinforcing its commitment to
sustainability and resident wellbeing.

Strategically
located, GHR Trivana offers 20 minutes signal-free access to RGIA Airport,
is within 20 minutes of the Financial District, and sits within a 30 km
radius of major IT parks. With adjacency to the Nehru ORR,
proximity to key recreational zones, and location near Bharat Future City,
it aligns with the rising demand for premium villas in well-connected South
Hyderabad growth corridors.

Highly
esteemed recognition from Realty+ Conclave &amp; Excellence Awards 

Now
in its 16th edition, the Realty+ Conclave &amp; Excellence Awards is
among India’s recognised real estate platforms, bringing together developers
and industry stakeholders for knowledge sessions on the road ahead for real
estate, followed by an awards ceremony honouring top performers. The 2026 edition
carried the theme ‘Turning Dreams Into Reality,’ spotlighting projects
that demonstrate leadership in vision, planning, and execution.

The
Developer of the Year – Villa category recognises villa developments that
deliver a clear, differentiated proposition, evaluated across parameters, such
as planning and design quality, liveability, resident experience, innovation in
layout and amenities, sustainability and wellness intent, and execution
discipline with compliance readiness.

Commenting
on the recognition, Mr. Karteesh Reddy M, CEO, GHR Infra, said:
“Launched in December 2025, with delivery targeted for February 2030,
GHR Trivana reflects our vision of building responsibly with disciplined design
thinking, sustainability intent, and value creation. The project is aimed at
families who seek the openness of villa living, yet still want one-turn
connectivity to schools, healthcare and the airport. We have calibrated every
square foot to nurture well-being—from ample natural light to spaces that
encourage neighbourly interaction.”

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi | 25 February 2026 : Tarq Foundation, in
partnership with Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited and the Government of
Haryana, is supporting the statewide expansion of Colgate’s flagship
initiative, Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® (BSBF). The collaboration will
deliver structured oral health education to 57 lakh school children across
Haryana.

The
BSBF program currently reaches over 10 million children annually across various
Indian states. Its expansion in Haryana represents a significant step in
embedding preventive oral health education within the state’s public and
private school systems at scale.

Impacting
school children in Haryana through BSBF carries substantial public health and
educational value. As one of the longest-running and most expansive oral health
education programs globally, BSBF addresses both immediate health needs and
long-term well-being, reinforcing the importance of preventive care during
formative years.

&quot;Ensuring
the health and well-being of our children is central to our vision for
Haryana’s future. Through this collaboration with Colgate, we aim to strengthen
awareness and embed preventive oral hygiene practices among students across the
state, supporting their overall development and confidence,&quot; said Shri
Nayab Singh Saini Ji, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Haryana.

The
statewide rollout integrates structured oral health education directly into
Haryana’s educational framework, reinforcing preventive care at a stage when
lifelong habits are shaped. By embedding this awareness within established
systems, the initiative aims to drive sustained, large-scale behavioural
change.

&quot;Preventive
health education, when delivered consistently and embedded early, creates
powerful ripple effects beyond the classroom. Children become ambassadors of
healthy habits within their families and communities. This collaboration
reinforces our dedication to fostering lasting behavioural change.&quot; said Ms.
Shilpashree Muniswamappa, Director – ESG &amp; Communications,
Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited.

Designed
as a comprehensive preventive health initiative, the programme will include
age-appropriate in-school sessions, teacher capacity building, visual
reinforcement through Oral Health Boards, and take-home dental kits with
brushing calendars to strengthen habit formation both in classrooms and at
home.

&quot;At
Tarq Foundation, we see this collaboration as a reflection of evolved thinking;
where corporate commitment and government vision converge to build
institutional, scalable solutions. Haryana is emerging as a dynamic and
forward-looking state, investing in the holistic development of its young
citizens. By integrating preventive oral health into school systems, we are
ensuring that healthy habits are not taught once, but practiced consistently to
drive real, generational impact.&quot; said Mr. Manoviraj Singh, Founding
Partner, Tarq Foundation.

A Legacy of Global and
National Impact Colgate&#039;s Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® (BSBF) program has
achieved remarkable scale, benefiting over 195 million children across India
and more than 2 billion children and their families globally since its
inception. This success is driven by robust public-private partnerships across
multiple Indian states, including Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Kerala,
Assam, Puducherry, and Goa.

The
Haryana collaboration marks a significant milestone in expanding the
programme’s reach. The kick-off meeting was attended by dignitaries and
implementation partners, including Mr. Sunil Sharma, Chief Coordinator
(industries), HoD (Estate, Commercial &amp; Housing, KMP and Mining), Haryana
State Industrial &amp; Infrastructure Development Corporate Limited, Mr.
Aditya Madan, Chief Liaison Officer, iHub – AWaDH, IIT Ropar, and Ms.
Lakshana Asthana, Founding Partner, Tarq Foundation.

<description><![CDATA[ February
25, 2026, Mumbai, India : Building on the recent announcement of Chef
Vikas Khanna as Global Brand Ambassador, the India office of The
Cranberry Institute hosted an exclusive media and trade interaction in
Mumbai. The event marked the beginning of this collaboration and brought
together prominent voices from the culinary community, along with importers,
retailers, nutrition specialists, and members of the media, for an afternoon
focused on the flavour, versatility, and health benefits of US Cranberries.

A
standout moment of the event was a live culinary presentation by Chef Vikas
Khanna, where he demonstrated creative applications of cranberries across both
Indian and international cuisines. Through his showcase, Chef Khanna
highlighted how cranberries can transition effortlessly from festive spreads to
everyday cooking, adding colour, taste, and nutritional value.

Speaking
at the event, Chef Vikas Khanna said, “Food,
for me, is about balance, nourishing the body while celebrating culture and
joy. Cranberries carry that duality beautifully, they are rich in health
benefits yet equally vibrant in taste and colour. I am honoured to partner with
The Cranberry Institute to share their story across borders and inspire people
to bring them to their tables in new and meaningful ways.”

The
programme also featured insights into recent scientific findings. Addressing
the audience, Dr. Jignesh Gandhi, Professor of Surgery and Robotic &amp;
Gastrointestinal Surgeon at Gleneagles and Fortis Hospitals, Mumbai, said, “H.
pylori bacterial infection is a major health concern in India, affecting nearly
60% of our population and contributing to conditions ranging from chronic
acidity to stomach cancer. This latest research highlights that consuming
cranberry juice twice daily for eight weeks can reduce H. pylori infection
rates by 20%. Such results indicate a promising, natural, and complementary
strategy to manage this persistent infection alongside conventional medical
treatments.”

Sharing
his perspective on the association, Mr. Sumit Saran, India Representative for
The Cranberry Institute, said, “We are very delighted and honoured to be
associated with renowned culinary maestro, Chef Vikas Khanna. His extraordinary
talent and passion for food have not only elevated Indian cuisine on the global
stage but have also inspired countless food enthusiasts. His ability to connect
health, heritage, and gastronomy makes him the ideal ambassador for the fruit.”

Mr.
Saran also noted that US Cranberries are now easily available through dry fruit
stores as well as leading e-commerce platforms.

The
event concluded with curated tastings and interactive sessions, allowing guests
to experience first-hand the adaptability of cranberries across both sweet and
savoury preparations.

<description><![CDATA[ With 70+ patents, a $4.5 trillion market in his sights, and 2 billion social media views, Shekhar Natarajan is staking his claim as the defining voice on trustworthy AI — and challenging Silicon Valley&#039;s entire governance playbook. New Delhi [India], February 25 : Through Orchestro.AI, Shekhar Natarajan has risen to become one of the leading voices in the Agentic AI market. This release showcases his journey to date and  the challenges he aims to address. On the morning of February 20, at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, a hall filled with global policymakers, technology executives, and international media fell silent as Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, posed a challenge that cut through years of regulatory noise: &quot;The entire world is debating how to govern AI after the fact. That debate is already lost.&quot;The audience gave him a standing ovation. It was not the first time, and it is unlikely to be the last.Natarajan&#039;s arrival at the summit of global AI discourse is the culmination of a 25-year executive career inside some of the world&#039;s most demanding corporate environments — Walmart, The Walt Disney Company, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Target, and American Eagle Outfitters — and a founding conviction that AI&#039;s ethics problem cannot be patched. It must be engineered from the ground up.A Career Built on ScaleBefore Natarajan became a philosophical voice on artificial intelligence, he was one of the most operationally consequential figures in American retail logistics. At Walmart, serving as SVP of Last Mile and Emerging Sciences, he drove two transformations simultaneously. The first was commercial: growing the grocery business from $30 million to $5 billion, a 166-fold expansion that required building supply chain architecture at a scale where decisions affected millions of consumers daily. The second was structural: pioneering the use of crowdsourced delivery through partnerships with Uber, Lyft, and Deliv — introducing gig-economy fulfillment to mass-market retail before the concept had a name.At American Eagle Outfitters, Natarajan took on a larger and more complex mandate as EVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer. His defining contribution there was the construction of an open-source distributed fulfillment model — a frenemy network that enlisted competitors and partners alike as nodes in a shared logistics infrastructure. The approach challenged the orthodoxy of proprietary supply chain control, arguing instead that collaborative, transparent networks could outperform closed systems on both cost and resilience. It was a philosophy that would later find its way, in updated form, into the architecture of Angelic Intelligence itself.Educated at Georgia Tech, MIT, Harvard Business School, and IESE, Natarajan built across both technical depth and strategic breadth across his corporate tenure. He accumulated more than 70 patents across supply chain innovation, distributed intelligence, and logistics architecture — a body of intellectual property that reflects not just operational expertise, but a systematic approach to converting insight into protected frameworks.The Founding ThesisIn August 2023, Natarajan founded Orchestro.AI with a proposition that inverts the conventional AI governance debate. Where regulators and ethicists argue for constraints applied to AI systems after their construction, Natarajan&#039;s framework — which he terms Angelic Intelligence — argues that virtue must be native to the computational architecture itself. Ethics, in his formulation, is not a compliance layer. It is the substrate.Angelic positions itself as the world&#039;s first Trust Layer for AI: a virtue-native proxy that sits between an enterprise and any large language model, making AI not merely safer but — in Natarajan&#039;s formulation — wiser. The product rests on four technical pillars: a Wisdom Engine that curates training data against human wisdom rather than internet noise; the MACI Framework (Multi-Architecture Consequential Intelligence), in which multiple AI agents debate each decision to produce deterministic, consistent reasoning; a configurable Virtue Stack that adapts context-aware intelligence across healthcare, logistics, finance, and education; and a Human Centric Scoring and Explainability layer that measures every decision against human benefit and renders its reasoning transparent.At the operational core of the system are 27 Digital Angels — specialized AI agents, each embodying a cross-cultural virtue drawn from Sanskrit philosophical traditions, collaborating in real time on ethical decision-making. The framework protects its innovations across 43 filed patents, covering virtue-native reasoning through to human benefit measurement.The Problem He Is SolvingNatarajan&#039;s commercial case rests on a diagnosis of what he calls the fatal flaws in current AI models. His presentation to investors and policymakers identifies six structural failures in the prevailing generation of AI systems: training data contamination, ]]></description>

<p dir="ltr"><span>At the operational core of the system are 27 Digital Angels — specialized AI agents, each embodying a cross-cultural virtue drawn from Sanskrit philosophical traditions, collaborating in real time on ethical decision-making. The framework protects its innovations across 43 filed patents, covering virtue-native reasoning through to human benefit measurement.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>The Problem He Is Solving</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Natarajan's commercial case rests on a diagnosis of what he calls the fatal flaws in current AI models. His presentation to investors and policymakers identifies six structural failures in the prevailing generation of AI systems: training data contamination, where the absence of epistemic filtration allows misinformation to shape model behavior; validation-seeking optimization, where models are tuned for engagement rather than guidance; rigid, one-size-fits-all architecture unsuited to context-specific demands of hospitals, banks, and legal institutions; reasoning inconsistency that undermines trust in high-stakes decisions; cosmetic safety guardrails that independent testing has found to have a 97 percent jailbreak failure rate; and centralized control that concentrates influence over AI outputs in the hands of individual executives or governments.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The market opportunity Natarajan is addressing is substantial. His company identifies a total addressable market of $4.5 trillion, with a serviceable addressable market of $520 billion and an initial market position projected at $12–18 billion. His framing — that Angelic is the inevitable trustworthy AI layer every enterprise will require — is positioning the company directly in the path of regulatory tailwinds. The EU AI Act's full enforcement begins in August 2026, with penalties reaching EUR 35 million or 7 percent of global revenue. Gartner projects that 50 percent of governments worldwide will enforce responsible AI regulations by 2026.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Traction and Market Proof</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The public reception to Natarajan's thesis has been remarkable in its velocity. His content campaign around Angelic Intelligence has reached 2 billion social media views across platforms. On Instagram, the content generated 299 million views, 91.5 million in reach, and 532,000 interactions. Facebook delivered 364 million views and 108 million unique viewers. On X, the hashtag #AngelicIntelligence trended at number three in technology globally and number two in India. His LinkedIn reach of 30.5 million impressions accompanied a 91 percent follower growth rate.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>These figures are not merely promotional metrics. They represent market validation of a thesis that established AI governance institutions have been slow to articulate with equivalent clarity or commercial urgency. Natarajan has moved faster in public discourse than most regulatory bodies have moved in policy — a dynamic he acknowledges deliberately: the governance debate will catch up to his architecture, not the reverse.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>The Philosophical Architecture</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>What distinguishes Natarajan from the large field of AI ethics commentators is the specificity of his technical claim. He is not arguing for behavioral guidelines or industry self-regulation. He is arguing that virtue, as a computational property, can be operationalized and protected through intellectual property. His 43 filed patents are the legal architecture of that argument.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The 27 Digital Angels framework draws explicitly on Sanskrit concepts of virtue — frameworks for understanding consciousness, ethics, and the relationship between capability and character that predate modern computing by millennia. Natarajan's synthesis applies these philosophical traditions to a technological context they were never designed to address. The result is an approach that has resonated across cultures that have experienced optimization-first AI as extractive rather than beneficial.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>His deployment targets reflect the commercial maturity of this vision. Home robotics, enterprise AI customization, workforce scheduling, content moderation, and mental health applications each represent contexts where the absence of trustworthy AI has produced documented failures. In each domain, his architecture offers the same proposition: configurable virtues, transparent reasoning chains, and decisions scored against human benefit rather than engagement or efficiency.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Global Stage</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Natarajan is preparing appearances at the World Economic Forum in Davos and the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, two venues where the intersection of capital, policy, and technological direction is most concentrated. His presence at both reflects a positioning strategy that places Angelic Intelligence not as a niche enterprise software product, but as a civilizational proposition: that the next generation of AI must be built to serve human dignity as a first-order computational requirement, not a secondary compliance obligation.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Market validation is arriving from multiple directions simultaneously. Humans&amp;, a new AI company founded by Anthropic, xAI, and Google alumni, raised $480 million in seed funding at a $4.48 billion valuation in January 2026 — a signal that the market for virtue-aligned AI infrastructure has moved from philosophical to investable. The Kapor Foundation's $500 million HumanityAI Initiative, Gartner's regulatory timeline projections, and Dario Amodei's "The Adolescence of Technology" essay have each, in different registers, provided independent validation of the framework Natarajan has been building.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Whether Orchestro.AI becomes the infrastructure layer for trustworthy enterprise AI or not, Natarajan has already accomplished something significant: he has made the case, with technical specificity and commercial credibility, that the AI industry's governance problem is not a policy problem. It is an engineering problem. And he has filed the patents to prove it.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Shekhar Natarajan is the Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI and the architect of Angelic Intelligence. He holds 70+ patents and has held senior executive roles including SVP of Last Mile and Emerging Sciences at Walmart and EVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer at American Eagle Outfitters. He is a speaker at the World Economic Forum and the Future Investment Initiative.</span></p>

<title>Modern Gold Loan Procedure Explained: A Complete Guide</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/modern-gold-loan-procedure-explained-a-complete-guide</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/modern-gold-loan-procedure-explained-a-complete-guide</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Consider this. You run
a small unit in Ludhiana and an unexpected machine failure brings work to a
halt. Or you are a parent in Chennai facing a university fee deadline that
cannot be postponed. In these moments, the most reliable safety net isn&#039;t
sitting in a bank account—it is likely resting in your family locker.

Gold has always been
India’s &quot;silent capital.&quot; However, the process of unlocking its value
has changed considerably. The earlier practice of visiting local lenders who
offered unclear terms is now largely a thing of the past. In 2026, the gold loan has evolved into a
high-tech, transparent, and strategically sound financial tool. This guide will
walk you through the modern procedure, ensuring you make an informed choice for
your liquidity needs.

Understanding the
Modern Gold Loan Landscape in 2026

A gold loan is a
secured credit facility where you pledge your gold ornaments as collateral.
Unlike personal loans, which rely heavily on your income history, this is an
asset-backed instrument. So even a freelancer or a first-time entrepreneur
without a long credit record can apply, since the lender focuses mainly on the
gold’s purity and weight rather than past borrowing history.

Recent gold prices have
remained elevated, increasing the borrowing value of pledged ornaments. This
high valuation means your existing jewelry carries more &quot;borrowing
power&quot; than ever before.

Why the Right Partner
Matters

When navigating this
sector, choosing a &quot;Financial Institution&quot; over an unorganized lender
is critical for the safety of your assets. Among established lenders, Muthoot
Finance is often considered a dependable option given its long presence in the
gold loan space. With decades of experience and a large portfolio, it has built
processes around secure storage and insurance, which matters when handing over
valuables. The documented purity assessment they provide also adds clarity, something
that may not always be available with smaller or informal lenders.

The New RBI Guidelines:
What You Need to Know

The Loan to Value ratio
refers to the percentage of the assessed gold value that a lender may extend as
credit. RBI guidelines prescribe caps within which lenders operate. The exact
eligible amount depends on prevailing regulatory norms and the lender’s
internal policy.

The gold loan interest rate
depends on the selected scheme, tenure, and internal pricing policy of the
lender. Reviewing the total repayment obligation before selection remains
essential.

The Step-by-Step Gold
Loan Process

The modern gold loan process is
optimized for urgency. In most cases, branch level valuation often enables
quicker processing compared to unsecured underwriting that requires deeper
financial scrutiny.


 Gold Evaluation: A certified valuer at the branch checks
     the purity (typically 18K to 24K) and net weight of your gold. Note that
     stones and gems are excluded from the weight calculation.
 Documentation: You only need basic KYC—your Aadhaar
     card and PAN card. No salary slips or complex tax returns are required.
 Scheme Selection: You choose a
     repayment plan. Options range from monthly EMIs to &quot;Bullet
     Repayment&quot; (where you pay the principal and interest together at the
     end of the tenure).

Dispelling 2026 Gold
Loan Myths

Some lingering doubts
still discourage people from considering a gold loan. It helps to look at the
facts clearly;

• Myth: &quot;I
will lose my gold if I miss one payment.&quot;
Fact: Established lenders generally reach out with reminders and offer
reasonable time to regularize the account. As regulated entities, they follow
due process, and auctioning pledged gold is treated as a final measure, not the
first response.

• Myth:
&quot;Old gold or heirloom jewelry is not accepted.&quot;
Fact: What matters to the lender is the purity and net weight of the
gold. The age, design, or sentimental value does not affect eligibility.

• Myth:
&quot;Gold loans are only meant for rural borrowers.&quot;
Fact: Today, it is common to see working professionals and business
owners in cities opting for gold loans when they need quick funds, rather
than turning to expensive unsecured borrowing.

Strategic Tips for
Borrowers

●     
Monitor the Gold Rate:
If you see a dip in the gold rate, the amount you can
borrow per gram also drops. If you have a pressing need, it is often better to
apply when the rates are peaking.

●       
Leverage Digital Facilities:
Many modern lenders now offer an &quot;Online Gold Loan&quot; (OGL). This
allows you to top up your loan or pay interest through a mobile app without
visiting the branch.

Conclusion: Your Gold,
Your Opportunity

A gold loan is no
longer a sign of financial distress; it is a sign of financial intel ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Consider this. You run a small unit in Ludhiana and an unexpected machine failure brings work to a halt. Or you are a parent in Chennai facing a university fee deadline that cannot be postponed. In these moments, the most reliable safety net isn't sitting in a bank account—it is likely resting in your family locker.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Gold has always been India’s "silent capital." However, the process of unlocking its value has changed considerably. The earlier practice of visiting local lenders who offered unclear terms is now largely a thing of the past. In 2026, the </span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://www.muthootfinance.com/gold-loan?utm_source=risingkashmir&amp;utm_medium=paid-backlinks&amp;utm_campaign=gold-loan"><b><span>gold loan</span></b></a></span><span lang="EN"> has evolved into a high-tech, transparent, and strategically sound financial tool. This guide will walk you through the modern procedure, ensuring you make an informed choice for your liquidity needs.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Understanding the Modern Gold Loan Landscape in 2026</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">A gold loan is a secured credit facility where you pledge your gold ornaments as collateral. Unlike personal loans, which rely heavily on your income history, this is an asset-backed instrument. So even a freelancer or a first-time entrepreneur without a long credit record can apply, since the lender focuses mainly on the gold’s purity and weight rather than past borrowing history.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Recent gold prices have remained elevated, increasing the borrowing value of pledged ornaments. This high valuation means your existing jewelry carries more "borrowing power" than ever before.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Why the Right Partner Matters</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">When navigating this sector, choosing a "Financial Institution" over an unorganized lender is critical for the safety of your assets. Among established lenders, Muthoot Finance is often considered a dependable option given its long presence in the gold loan space. With decades of experience and a large portfolio, it has built processes around secure storage and insurance, which matters when handing over valuables. The documented purity assessment they provide also adds clarity, something that may not always be available with smaller or informal lenders.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">The New RBI Guidelines: What You Need to Know</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The Loan to Value ratio refers to the percentage of the assessed gold value that a lender may extend as credit. RBI guidelines prescribe caps within which lenders operate. The exact eligible amount depends on prevailing regulatory norms and the lender’s internal policy.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune
– 25/02/2026 : Pune welcomes a new destination for those
who believe their homes deserve more than off-the-rack solutions. With the
launch of its Experience Centre in the city, Papillon brings a bespoke design
experience tailored for individuals who refuse to settle for standard furniture
and instead seek pieces that reflect their personality, taste, and lifestyle.

Moving
away from the conventional &quot;what you see is what you get&quot; retail
model, the new centre focuses entirely on the philosophy of bespoke
craftsmanship. Rather than displaying rows of mass-produced inventory, the
Experience Centre serves as a creative hub where clients can witness the
intersection of design and artisanal manufacturing, ensuring every piece is
tailored to their specific vision

What
sets Papillon apart is its uncompromising commitment to quality. The brand
sources the finest materials from Italy, Germany, and other leading European
countries—right from precision-engineered fittings to premium veneers and
finishes. Every hinge, mechanism, surface, and detail is chosen with care,
ensuring both aesthetic excellence and long-lasting performance.

The
new Experience Centre in Pune offers clients an immersive design journey. Here,
homeowners collaborate with expert designers to create furniture that is not
only functional but deeply personal. Whether it’s a statement wardrobe, a
refined kitchen, or an elegant living space, Papillon transforms aspirations
into tangible, beautifully crafted spaces.

Speaking
on the launch, Abhijit Kudale, Managing Director, Papillon, said,

&quot;We didn&#039;t want to build just another store,&quot; says Mr
Abhijit. &quot;We built a space where every corner is crafted to tell a
story—your story. I have travelled across the world and experienced some of the
finest furniture craftsmanship firsthand. My vision has always been to bring
that level of quality, detailing and precision to Indian homes, especially for
the discerning few who truly value bespoke design and uncompromised excellence.
With our Signature Store in Pune, we are making global standards accessible
right here at home.&quot;

With
this launch, Papillon strengthens its promise: to bring global quality,
European craftsmanship, and personalised design together under one roof,
turning dream spaces into lived realities. Papillon’s integrated operational
model combines design, planning, and manufacturing under one ecosystem. The
brand is supported by a team of over 35 production specialists, a 25-member
planning and coordination unit, and 22 designers who collaborate closely with
architects and homeowners. The in-house manufacturing facility employs 70–80
skilled personnel and is equipped with advanced German and Italian
panel-processing machinery, including a four-side edge-banding system imported
from Europe, enabling high levels of structural accuracy and finish quality. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune : Gera Developments Private Limited (GDPL), pioneers of premium
real estate development across Pune, Goa, Bengaluru, and California (USA),
announced the inauguration of the dedicated commuter access pathway connecting
Bhosari Metro Station directly to Gera’s Imperium Gateway — positioning the
development as Pune’s first commercial project with integrated metro
connectivity. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Mr. Manoj Dandare,
AGM - Property Dept., Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited and Mr. Mihir
Kulkarni, DGM - Planning, Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited along
with Mr Gulzar Malhotra, Chief Executive Officer, Gera Developments. 

With the opening of the access pathway, commuters can now
seamlessly access Gera’s Imperium Gateway from the Bhosari Metro Station,
significantly enhancing last-mile connectivity for businesses, professionals,
and visitors.

Speaking at the inauguration, Mr. Manoj Dandare, AGM -
Property Dept., Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited, said, “The
Metro network was envisioned to transform connectivity across Pune, and this
milestone demonstrates how transit-oriented development can reshape urban
infrastructure. Projects such as Gera’s Imperium Gateway illustrate how
infrastructure and private development can align to create efficient,
accessible, and future-ready commercial districts.”

Commenting on the milestone, Mr Gulzar Malhotra, Chief
Executive Officer, Gera Developments, said, “Gera’s Imperium Gateway,
Pune’s first metro-connected commercial project, reflects our belief that
commercial real estate must evolve alongside infrastructure. Direct metro
integration is not merely a convenience — it enhances asset performance,
strengthens occupier value, and supports sustainable urban growth. As the
market increasingly shifts toward transit-linked workplaces, we are seeing
strong validation of this approach, with over 95% of the project sold and
leasing momentum steadily building.”

Located in PCMC, Gera’s Imperium Gateway has been conceived as a
future-ready commercial destination offering direct regional connectivity across
Pune, Mumbai, and Nashik corridors. The project is over 95% sold with limited
inventory remaining and is witnessing growing leasing interest from corporates
and institutional occupiers seeking well-connected office environments.

Spread across 11.5 acres, Gera’s Imperium Gateway is the 10th
development in the Gera’s Imperium series. Designed as a vibrant mixed-use
ecosystem, the three-building campus integrates modern workspaces with a
central social arena anchored by retail and food destinations, creating an
active business environment. With two dedicated retail floors and a distinctive
glass-encased entrance, the development is poised to emerge as a key commercial
and lifestyle hub in PCMC.

With metro connectivity now operational, Gera’s Imperium Gateway
represents a forward-looking model where accessibility is embedded into design
rather than added as an afterthought. The inauguration of the dedicated access
pathway underscores Gera Developments’ long-standing commitment to
customer-centric innovation and to shaping commercial ecosystems aligned with
evolving urban mobility patterns.

About

consisting of Preventive Maintenance &amp; Repairs, and provision of insurance
on buildings way back in 2004 for the first time in India. RERA mandated the
same only in 2017. Gera also introduced India’s first and only 7-year warranty
in Real Estate. They have designed and launched a pathbreaking concept, the
award-winning ChildCentric® Homes, which revolutionised the Real Estate sector
for both, the developer and the home buyer. Other revolutionary and highly
successful product lines have been IntelliplexesTM, SkyVillasTM,
and The Imperium series. In their 50th year, the company launched
yet another first-of-its-kind industry initiative, Gera’s Home Equity Power—by
providing financial flexibility to customers to withdraw fun ]]></description>

<title>How Rising Gold Prices Benefit Gold Loan Customers</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Imagine you
are a small business owner in Ludhiana or a parent in Chennai planning for your
child’s higher education. You’ve held onto your family gold for years—not just
as an heirloom, but as a silent financial guardian. Suddenly, you wake up to
news of a gold price rising to historic levels. While the world sees a
&quot;luxury metal&quot; getting more expensive, a seasoned borrower sees an
opening.

Prices
constantly rise and fall and regulations steadily tighten. In 2026, record gold
rates combined with clearer lending norms have created a favorable window for
borrowers. If you already have a gold loan or are planning
one, the present price surge is more than headline news. It directly
strengthens your liquidity and expands how much you can borrow.

The
Strategic Link Between Gold Price and Borrowing Power

To
understand why a gold price rising is good
news for you, we must look at the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio. The LTV is a
regulatory cap—typically around 75% for most schemes—that dictates how much
cash you can get against your gold.

When the
price of your pledged gold rises, the value backing your loan rises with it.
Say you pledged 50 grams last year when it was worth around ₹3.5 lakh. With
today’s higher rates, the same quantity could now be valued closer to ₹4.5 lakh
or even beyond.

1.
Unlocking &quot;Hidden&quot; Liquidity via Top-Up Loans

If you have
an ongoing gold loan, a price rally often allows you to avail of a &#039;Top-Up&#039;.
Since the value of your pledged asset has increased, the gap between your
current loan amount and the 75% LTV limit widens.

• The
Benefit: You can access additional funds without pledging a single extra gram
of gold.

• The
Advice: This is an excellent way for small business owners to manage sudden
working capital needs without the long wait times of unsecured personal loans.

2. Lowering
the Risk of &quot;Margin Calls&quot;

In a
falling market, lenders may ask you to pay back a part of the principal if the
gold value drops too low. However, when the price is rising, your safety buffer
increases. This gives you peace of mind, knowing your collateral comfortably
covers the debt, even if there’s a minor short-term market correction.

Why the
Right Financial Institution Matters in 2026

In a
high-value market, the &quot;where&quot; is just as important as the &quot;how
much.&quot; Choosing a partner like Muthoot Finance, a financial institution
with over 800 years of legacy, is a strategic choice rather than just a
functional one.

When gold
prices are high, you are essentially handing over a high-value asset for
safekeeping. You need a partner that offers:

• Transparent
Valuation: Reliable institutions use standardized 30-day average pricing to
ensure you get the maximum possible benefit from the current gold price.

• Safety
and Insurance: When you hand over gold of high value, protection cannot be an
afterthought. Muthoot Finance stores pledged ornaments in secure vault
facilities with strong monitoring and insurance support, so they remain
protected and are returned just as they were given.

Impact on
Loan Structure

Rising gold
prices primarily influence borrowing capacity rather than automatically
altering the gold loan interest rate. The
applicable interest rate depends on the selected scheme, tenure, and the
lender’s internal pricing framework within prevailing regulatory guidelines.

  Risk Cushion
  
  
  Higher asset value can

Debunking
2026 Gold Loan Myths

Even today,
certain misconceptions hold people back from making the most of their assets. Clarification
is necessary:

• Myth 1:
&quot;I will lose my gold if the price falls later.&quot;

-         
Reality: Your loan
terms are locked at the time of signing. As long as you maintain your interest
payments, short-term price dips don&#039;t affect your ownership.

• Myth 2:
&quot;Gold loans are only for emergencies.&quot;

-         
Reality: Today,
many borrowers use gold loans as a planned financial move, not a last minute
fix. They borrow at reasonable rates to support business plans or other returns
driven goals, while their gold stays secure with the lender.

• Myth 3:
&quot;Processing takes days.&quot;

-         
Reality: Modern
systems allow for &quot;point-of-sale&quot; disbursals. You can often walk into
a branch and walk out with funds in under 30 minutes.

Actionable
Recommendations for Borrowers

For those
looking to leverage the current market, the following structured approach may
be considered:

1.      
Monitor the Daily
Rate: Don&#039;t just look at the jewelry store price. Check the &quot;loan per

Hyderabad, February 25, 2026 : In the recently announced Union Budget 2026-27, the government has indicated
shifting focus of workforce development through skilling, apprenticeships to
make training more industry-aligned, meaningful and accessible. 

In this context, it is
interesting to note that Vishwa
Vishwani Institute of Systems and Management (VVISM), a NAAC-accredited higher
education institution affiliated with Osmania University, has announced the
launch of Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Programme (AEDP) in BS Computer
Science, as part of industry-academia partnership.

The four-year multidisciplinary
undergraduate programme is being initiated in partnership with TalentSprint,
part of Accenture, a leading global education company powered by AI. 

Introduced under the UGC-approved AEDP
framework, the programme is designed to integrate academic learning with
structured industry apprenticeship, preparing students to graduate as
industry-ready tech professionals. The collaboration brings together VVISM’s
academic foundation and TalentSprint’s industry-aligned learning delivery to
address one of the most critical aspects in today’s engineering education, that
of employability challenge.

The Apprenticeship Embedded Degree
Programme (AEDP) represents a shift away from the traditional “learn first,
work later” approach. Under the UGC-AEDP model, up to 40% of curriculum
delivery is led by industry, allowing students to gain hands-on experience
through AI-driven applied labs, live projects, and continuous mentorship. The
programme ensures that students receive up to two years of hands-on real-world
exposure before graduation, transforming coders into creators, learners into
leaders, and graduates into industry-ready professionals. Backed by one year of
assured apprenticeship, AI-driven applied learning, and industry integration,
the programme equips students to thrive in a rapidly evolving, AI-led world.

Commenting on the launch, Dr. M. R. S.
Surya Narayana Reddy, Director – Admissions, VVISM, said, “AEDP is a
futuristic model for tech education through apprenticeship integrating
learning, AI-driven applied labs, and continuous mentorship. The BS in Computer
Science degree programme reflects institute’s commitment to reimagining
engineering education through industry integration and experiential learning.
Our approach is in sync with the government’s skilling, training, internship
and apprenticeship agenda. The collaboration with TalentSprint strengthens this
vision by aligning academic rigour with industry expectations, particularly in
emerging technology domains like AI and cloud.”

AEDP learners will be exposed to the
latest technologies through guided internships, live projects, and industry
mentorship. This strengthens employability and industry readiness prior to
graduation. The students who join the programme receive practical learning in
the form of bootcamps, programming challenges, hackathons, and industry-based
projects, with ongoing guidance provided by industry experts. Through these,
the learners graduate with practical skills, professional readiness, a
portfolio of projects and workplace experience.

<description><![CDATA[  Mumbai : Eggfirst, the semi-urban and rural specialist strategy, creative, digital and media agency, successfully hosted the 5th edition of the Chalo Bharat Marketing Conclave and Awards on 18th February 2026, at The Westin (Mumbai), bringing together leading marketers, founders, CMOs and industry decision-makers for an insightful exchange on the evolving dynamics of marketing in Bharat. With participation from over 450+ industry professionals, the conclave continued to strengthen its position as a key platform for conversations shaping India’s next phase of marketing and advertising.Chief Guest and Keynote Speaker Shri R. S. Sodhi, Former MD of Amul, delivered a compelling address on building ageless brands that endure across generations. Emphasising the importance of honesty in branding, he spoke about how trust is not manufactured through messaging alone but earned through consistency in product quality and purity over time. He underlined that authentic storytelling must be rooted in the truth of what a brand delivers, not merely in what it claims to represent, adding that brands which remain transparent in their communication and uncompromising about the integrity of their offering are the ones that build lasting emotional equity with consumers across geographies and generations.As the creators of the Chalo Bharat platform, Eggfirst shared insights from the Chalo Bharat Consumer Study 2026: The Millennial Set through an address by Ravi Banka, Founder and CEO of Eggfirst, underscoring the need for research-backed data to inform not just brand narratives but also optimise messaging and media deployment. Such an approach enables marketers to deliver the right message to the right audience more efficiently, improving the effectiveness of spends and driving stronger ROI in diverse and rapidly evolving markets like Bharat.These themes carried forward into two power-packed panel discussions that explored some of the most pressing questions facing marketers today. One discussion examined the growing tension between long-term brand building and performance-driven marketing, debating whether immediate, measurable outcomes are overshadowing the need for sustained brand equity. Another session explored the changing nature of consumer loyalty in a data-led, discount-driven marketplace, questioning whether loyalty is fading or simply evolving into a more value-conscious relationship between brands and consumers.Acclaimed producer and media entrepreneur Siddharth Roy Kapur, drawing from his extensive media and marketing experience, strongly advocated building enduring brand awareness. A sentiment echoed by many in the panel.Adding a strong grassroots dimension to the dialogue, a dedicated influencer panel featured regional creators Yash and Santu Choudhary from Rajasthan and Shruti Sharma AKA Shruti Pahari from Himachal Pradesh, who shared how their deep connection with local culture, language and community trust shapes audience engagement.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b><span face="&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;" lang="EN">Mumbai : Eggfirst,</span></b><span face="Calibri, &quot;sans-serif&quot;" lang="EN"> the semi-urban and rural specialist strategy, creative, digital and media agency, successfully hosted the 5th edition of the Chalo Bharat Marketing Conclave and Awards on 18th February 2026, at The Westin (Mumbai), bringing together leading marketers, founders, CMOs and industry decision-makers for an insightful exchange on the evolving dynamics of marketing in Bharat. With participation from over 450+ industry professionals, the conclave continued to strengthen its position as a key platform for conversations shaping India’s next phase of marketing and advertising.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span face="&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;" lang="EN">Chief Guest and Keynote Speaker Shri R. S. Sodhi, Former MD of Amul, delivered a compelling address on building ageless brands that endure across generations</span></b><span face="&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;" lang="EN">. Emphasising the importance of honesty in branding, he spoke about how trust is not manufactured through messaging alone but earned through consistency in product quality and purity over time. He underlined that authentic storytelling must be rooted in the truth of what a brand delivers, not merely in what it claims to represent, adding that brands which remain transparent in their communication and uncompromising about the integrity of their offering are the ones that build lasting emotional equity with consumers across geographies and generations.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face="&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;" lang="EN">As the creators of the Chalo Bharat platform, Eggfirst shared insights from the Chalo Bharat Consumer Study 2026: The Millennial Set through an address by Ravi Banka, Founder and CEO of Eggfirst, underscoring the need for research-backed data to inform not just brand narratives but also optimise messaging and media deployment. Such an approach enables marketers to deliver the right message to the right audience more efficiently, improving the effectiveness of spends and <b>driving stronger ROI in diverse and rapidly evolving markets like Bharat</b>.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face="&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;" lang="EN">These themes carried forward into two power-packed panel discussions that explored some of the most pressing questions facing marketers today. One discussion examined the growing tension between long-term brand building and performance-driven marketing, debating whether immediate, measurable outcomes are overshadowing the need for sustained brand equity. Another session explored the changing nature of consumer loyalty in a data-led, discount-driven marketplace, questioning whether loyalty is fading or simply evolving into a more value-conscious relationship between brands and consumers.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face="&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;" lang="EN">Acclaimed producer and media entrepreneur Siddharth Roy Kapur, drawing from his extensive media and marketing experience, strongly advocated building enduring brand awareness. A sentiment echoed by many in the panel.<br>Adding a strong grassroots dimension to the dialogue, a dedicated influencer panel featured regional creators </span><span face="&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;" lang="EN">Yash and Santu Choudhary from Rajasthan and Shruti Sharma AKA Shruti Pahari from Himachal Pradesh<span>, who shared how their deep connection with local culture, language and community trust shapes audience engagement. The discussion highlighted how influencer marketing in rural and semi-urban markets is driven less by scale and more by authenticity, relatability and cultural credibility.</span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>

<title>Navrachana University Hosts AI DAY 2026 to Promote Practical Understanding of Artificial Intelligence</title>

<description><![CDATA[   Navrachana University hosts AI Day 2026 to foster practical understanding of Artificial IntelligenceVadodara (Gujarat) [India], February 24 : At a time when Artificial Intelligence is being discussed at the highest national forums, Navrachana University’s Centre for Interdisciplinary Computing Science (CICS), in collaboration with AtliQ Technologies, hosted AI DAY 2026 — a full-day initiative aimed at fostering practical understanding and informed adoption of AI. The event, themed AI Beyond Theory, focused on separating measurable value from hype and encouraging clarity-led implementation.Held from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the Navrachana University campus, the event witnessed participation from more than 200 founders, business owners, technology leaders, engineers, analysts, and students. Rather than limiting the engagement to tool demonstrations, the sessions addressed critical implementation questions — where AI delivers measurable impact, where automation suffices, how organisations should assess return on investment, and how to avoid unnecessary complexity.The keynote sessions were conducted in association with AtliQ Technologies and Codebasics. Dhaval Patel, co-founder of Codebasics and a widely followed data and AI educator with over 1.4 million subscribers on YouTube, led the sessions. Emphasising clarity over complexity, he highlighted that sustainable AI adoption begins with foundational understanding and structured thinking rather than pursuing advanced tools without context. The sessions focused on practical use cases, structured decision-making frameworks, and measurable outcome-oriented implementation approaches.Prof. Sandeep Vasant, Director, Centre for Interdisciplinary Computing Science (CICS), said - “There is often discussion about a technology gap, but equally important is the human gap — the ability and willingness to adapt. While AI is augmenting human capabilities, the human-in-the-loop will always remain pivotal. Those who choose not to engage with it meaningfully may find themselves left behind. History offers perspective — when computers were first introduced, similar concerns were raised about replacement. Instead, humans became integral to their effective use. Artificial Intelligence may reshape certain roles or reduce routine tasks, but it cannot replace human contribution when individuals are equipped and prepared to integrate it thoughtfully. Ultimately, AI will reward those who adapt alongside it.”Throughout the day, discussions progressed from applied AI scenarios and implementation misconceptions to cost-versus-benefit assessments and models for long-term integration. Emphasis was laid on bridging both technological and human readiness gaps, ensuring that adoption strengthens rather than replaces human judgment.About the Centre for Interdisciplinary Computing Science (CICS)Established to promote interdisciplinary computing research and applied innovation, CICS serves as Navrachana University’s dedicated platform for advancing emerging technologies through industry engagement and practical implementation. The Centre focuses on bridging engineering, analytics, and business domains to deliver scalable and socially relevant technology solutions.Among its notable initiatives is Alg AI, a project oriented toward real-world artificial intelligence applications and implementation models. Through structured research, collaboration, and industry integration, CICS aims to strengthen India’s evolving technology ecosystem by preparing professionals who can translate advanced computing concepts into measurable outcomes.For more information - https://nuv.ac.in/centre-for-interdisciplinary-computing-science ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ NewsReach
brings you unfiltered stories from professionals shaping the world of branding
on Brand Ki Baat

Companies
are not founded on ideas. They are constructed upon a belief, upon clarity of
expression, and about the boldness to be ahead of the curve. Whether it is the
streamlining of production by technology or assisting the emerging brands to
find their voice in the overcrowded market, what actually matters is intent.
Brands that speak truthfully, teach their ecosystem and address real problems
are those that survive in the era of short attention and strong competition.

Welcome
to Crafting Bharat:  Brand
Ki Baat, Mumbai Edition an industry first podcast about brands, businesses,
and those who create them through inside out. In this engaging episode, host Kartik
Chawla sits down with Anindita Gupta, “Founder &amp; CEO of Scenic
Communications” and Kunal Singhal, “Founder &amp; CEO of Eazy Business
Solutions;”; in a very open discussion on entrepreneurship, PR
evolution, technological innovation, crisis management, and power of
founder-led storytelling.

This
series is proudly brought to you by NewsReach, India’s leading PR-tech
platform, powered by HT Smartcast; Gifting Partner Nanaji Natural and
Beauty Partner Lakme Academy. Tune in for stories, insights, and
inspiration!

Excerpts

What drew
you to build what you have today?

Anindita
Gupta: “PR was not love at first sight, alright”.
Having a media background, there were various creative paths leading up to the
discovery that communication had an extensive influence. “If you’re not
telling your story the right way, and loudly enough, you’ll simply be missed.”

After
nearly a decade of experience, I launched Scenic Communications in 2016. I was
focused on one thing, which is assisting SMEs and B2B brands in the long-term
perspective of reputation. The potential was enormous, yet hundreds of
companies did not know how strategic communication can improve brand equity and
contribute to their growth.

What was
the vision behind your ventures?

Kunal
Singhal: “Enterprise software is not really designed to
work in the Indian scenario, most of the time. Distribution to the shop floors
is different in terms of Indian systems compared to global systems. “Whatever
we build needs to be Indianized.”

The
company is today operating in 16 or 17 countries, however the philosophy has
never changed. We will aim at easing the life of everyone. Not only in the
product but in our organizational culture too.

Anindita
Gupta: In the case of Scenic vision was not limited
to service delivery. It was about education. SMEs would respond that they were
getting orders, so they did not need PR.

From
early voice-tech campaigns before Alexa became mainstream to nutraceutical
brands before COVID accelerated the sector, her team focused on shaping
understanding. “When you’re entering something new and need to educate the
market, PR plays an immense role.”

Are
brands today emerging victorious because they are relatable?

In
the segment known as Rate This Pitch, the conversation covered brands
such as Wakefit and Pizza Hut that embraced humor and interactive innovation.

Kunal
Singhal: It came to a point whereby everything was
about celebrity endorsement,

People
are now seeking authenticity. They wish to meet the founder, the staff, the
actual faces of the brand. Relatability is not the sole element and now
aspirational and trustworthy are two words that have become inseparable.

Anindita
Gupta: “It is dependent on the context.”

When
the experience gives them a pleasant, memorable experience, consumers identify
with that emotion when thinking of the brand. Lasting impact is not achieved
through gimmickry, but through emotional recall.

What
is your opinion of the role of AI in marketing and communication?

Kunal
Singhal: Yes, AI already helps generate initial drafts
of campaign ideas. It saves time and provides vision in real time. But he makes
it clear where it goes. It is not the right way to leave everything to AI.
People are still required in creativity and emotional depth.

Anindita
Gupta: AI can recreate results and calculate numbers
but the leap is a creative instinct. Thinking is a human activity compounded by
technology, but the spark is human.

How do you
see AI influencing marketing and communication?

Kunal
Singhal: The voice of the founder. The founder is only
the one who can provide the original vision and intent. Brands such as MDH,
whose personal presence created amazing recall and trust. Storytelling by
founders, he reckons, will not disappear any time soon.

What
are your crisis and high-pressure campaign management strategies?

Anindita
Gupta: Crisis management: PR becomes second nature.
The industry requires agility, based on national r ]]></description>

<title>Ferty9: Setting New Benchmarks in Fertility Care Across South India</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/ferty9-setting-new-benchmarks-in-fertility-care-across-south-india</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/ferty9-setting-new-benchmarks-in-fertility-care-across-south-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In
recent years, infertility has become an increasingly discussed yet deeply
personal challenge for families across South India. Delayed marriages,
lifestyle changes, stress, PCOS, thyroid disorders, and male factor infertility
have all contributed to a growing need for reliable, ethical, and
scientifically advanced fertility care.

Amid
this evolving landscape, Ferty9 has emerged as one of South India’s leading
fertility centers — not merely through expansion, but through consistent
clinical standards, patient trust, and a strong commitment to ethical medical
practice.

A
Strong Foundation in Clinical Excellence

At
the core of Ferty9’s success lies its advanced IVF laboratory infrastructure.
In fertility treatment, the lab plays a decisive role in determining outcomes.
From embryo culture conditions to air quality control and precision monitoring
systems, maintaining a controlled and contamination-free environment is
critical.

Ferty9
has invested in modern embryology systems, stringent quality protocols, and experienced
embryologists to ensure optimal embryo development conditions. By focusing on
scientific accuracy at every stage — ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval,
fertilization, embryo grading, and transfer — the center prioritizes quality
over volume.

Emphasis
on Self-Cycle IVF

One
of the distinguishing aspects of Ferty9’s approach is its focus on maximizing a
couple’s own reproductive potential. Instead of quickly recommending donor
options, the team emphasizes personalized treatment plans, especially for women
with low AMH, PCOS, or complex hormonal profiles, as well as men facing
fertility challenges.

This
approach not only strengthens medical outcomes but also builds emotional
confidence among couples who prefer self-cycle treatment whenever medically feasible.

Doctor-Led
Trust in Regional Communities

Fertility
treatment requires more than medical skill — it demands empathy and
reassurance. Ferty9’s growth across South India has been supported by strong
doctor-patient relationships, especially in semi-urban and Tier 2 cities where
awareness and stigma still coexist.

By
prioritizing regional language communication, patient education sessions, and
transparent consultations, the institution has cultivated community-level
trust. Patients often cite clarity in counselling and realistic
expectation-setting as key reasons for choosing the center.

Ethical
Communication and Transparency

In
a competitive healthcare environment, exaggerated claims can erode public
confidence. Ferty9 has positioned itself on the pillars of transparency and
ethical practice. Success rates are discussed responsibly, treatment plans are
explained in detail, and patients are guided through each step of the journey.

 Such ethical clarity has helped build
long-term credibility, particularly in a field where misinformation can create
false hope or fear.

Consistency
Across Locations

As
fertility services expand geographically, maintaining uniform standards becomes
essential. Ferty9 has implemented standardized clinical protocols and quality
checks across its centers, ensuring that patients receive consistent care
regardless of location.

This
structured approach supports reliability — a factor that increasingly
influences healthcare decisions.

Blending
Science with Compassion

Infertility
treatment is both a medical and emotional journey. Ferty9’s approach combines
scientific rigor with compassionate counselling, recognizing that every
couple’s story is unique. From first consultation to post-treatment follow-up,
the emphasis remains on holistic support. 

A
Growing Need, A Responsible Response

South
India continues to witness rising awareness about reproductive health. Couples
today seek centers that offer advanced technology, experienced specialists, and
transparent guidance under one roof.

 By focusing on laboratory precision,
personalized treatment plans, ethical communication, and community trust,
Ferty9 is contributing meaningfully to the region’s fertility care ecosystem.

 In a field where hope meets science, sustained
trust becomes the true measure of leadership. Through its patient-centered
philosophy and commitment to clinical excellence, Ferty9 continues to set
benchmarks in modern fertility care. ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">At the core of Ferty9’s success lies its advanced IVF laboratory infrastructure. In fertility treatment, the lab plays a decisive role in determining outcomes. From embryo culture conditions to air quality control and precision monitoring systems, maintaining a controlled and contamination-free environment is critical.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Ferty9 has invested in modern embryology systems, stringent quality protocols, and experienced embryologists to ensure optimal embryo development conditions.

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">One of the distinguishing aspects of Ferty9’s approach is its focus on maximizing a couple’s own reproductive potential. Instead of quickly recommending donor options, the team emphasizes personalized treatment plans, especially for women with low AMH, PCOS, or complex hormonal profiles, as well as men facing fertility challenges.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Fertility treatment requires more than medical skill — it demands empathy and reassurance. Ferty9’s growth across South India has been supported by strong doctor-patient relationships, especially in semi-urban and Tier 2 cities where awareness and stigma still coexist.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">By prioritizing regional language communication, patient education sessions, and transparent consultations, the institution has cultivated community-level trust.

Ferty9 has positioned itself on the pillars of transparency and ethical practice. Success rates are discussed responsibly, treatment plans are explained in detail, and patients are guided through each step of the journey.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"><span> </span>Such ethical clarity has helped build long-term credibility, particularly in a field where misinformation can create false hope or fear.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Seminar positions Ahmedabad at the
centre of export-led growth, GCC expansion and next-generation SEZ ecosystems

Ahmedabad, 23rd Feb 2026 : Ganesh Housing Limited hosted a high-level seminar on the India–UK
Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) at its flagship development,
Million Minds Tech City SEZ on S.G Highway, Ahmedabad on the 20st
February, 2026.  Conducted under the guidance of the Ministry of Commerce
and Industry, the seminar brought together policymakers, industry leaders and
SEZ administrators to assess how the trade agreement could reshape export
competitiveness, capital flows and sectoral expansion across Gujarat. The
session was chaired by Shri Omprakash Bishnoi, Joint Development Commissioner,
SEZ Cluster, Ahmedabad, along with Mr. Aman Mehta, Head – Revenue Department,
Ganesh Housing Limited. Discussions focused on the strategic role of
Special Economic Zones in accelerating export growth, reducing trade frictions
and strengthening India’s integration into global value chains. The technical
session was led by Shri Amish Khandhar, Chartered Accountant, KMS Chartered
Associates, who outlined the key benefits of the India–UK FTA for Special
Economic Zones, including enhanced trade access, reduction in non-tariff
barriers, improved export facilitation and long-term growth opportunities for
Indian enterprises. Furthermore, special focus was placed on IT/ITES and
semiconductor SEZs, reflecting the strategic role of these sectors in India’s
evolving global economic engagement.

 

Commenting on this, Mr. Shekhar Patel, MD &amp;
CEO, Ganesh Housing Ltd, said, “For many global companies, the decision
to expand into India comes down to three things — stability, compliance and
long-term viability. Trade agreements like this strengthen confidence, but the
on-ground ecosystem has to match that ambition. Our intent with Million Minds
Tech City SEZ is to provide that reliability and scale, especially for
technology and GCC-driven businesses looking at Gujarat as a serious base.”

 

Spread across a future-ready campus with some of the
largest contiguous office floor plates in the city starting from ~42,000 sq.
ft., Million Minds Tech City offers IGBC Platinum-rated sustainable
infrastructure, state-of-the-art amenities and a strategic address on S.G.
Highway. By facilitating conversations at the intersection of trade policy,
global investment and next-generation workspaces at Million Minds Tech City
SEZ, Ganesh Housing aims to play a catalytic role in shaping Ahmedabad’s
evolution as a competitive commercial and export hub.

 

As India advances its trade partnerships and
recalibrates its export strategy, such industry–government dialogues will play a
pivotal role in translating agreements into tangible economic outcomes for
enterprises operating on the ground.

<title>Rootle.ai Launches India’s First &amp;apos;Institutional Memory Voice AI&amp;apos; Platform to Address Enterprise Knowledge Loss</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Ahmedabad, India | [23rd February 2026] : Rootle.ai, an Ahmedabad-based Voice AI
startup, today announced the launch of what it describes as India’s first Institutional
Memory Voice AI platform for customer journeys. The system is designed to
reduce enterprise knowledge loss resulting from high employee turnover in
customer-facing roles.

Across high-growth sectors in India, annual attrition in sales and
customer support teams is often estimated at 30–40%. While organizations
closely monitor recruitment and training costs, the operational impact of lost
customer knowledge — including prior conversation history, sentiment context,
commitments made, and follow-up nuances — frequently remains unmeasured.

Industry estimates suggest that Indian enterprises may lose up to 37%
of institutional knowledge annually due to workforce churn. Rootle.ai aims to
address this structural gap through a persistent AI-driven memory layer
embedded within customer interactions.

From Human-Dependent Memory to Persistent AI Memory

Traditional customer journey management often relies on individual
employees retaining contextual understanding of client relationships. When
employees exit, continuity may be disrupted.

Rootle.ai’s platform captures, structures, and continuously learns from every
voice interaction — spanning lead qualification, onboarding, support
resolution, and renewals. According to the company, this creates:

•     
Continuous
customer context preservation

•     
Structured
interaction intelligence

•     
Institutional
memory independent of individual employees

“India is a high-growth, high-mobility talent market,” said Vikram
Patel, CEO of Rootle.ai. “Companies scale fast. Teams change fast. But customer
context should not disappear when people do. We are building infrastructure
that preserves institutional memory at the core of customer experience.”

Building Institutional Continuity Across the Customer Lifecycle

While many AI tools focus on automation or manpower reduction,
Rootle.ai positions its solution as an intelligence and continuity layer across
the entire customer lifecycle, including:

•     
Lead
qualification and nurturing

•     
Follow-up
conversations

•     
Customer
support interactions

•     
Escalation
handling

•     
Renewals
and retention workflows

By centralizing and structuring voice interaction data, enterprises may
benefit from:

•     
Consistent
customer communication

•     
Reduced
onboarding time for new hires

•     
Faster
response cycles

•     
Lower
operational inefficiencies

•     
Improved
continuity in customer relationships

In sectors where customer acquisition costs are rising, maintaining
engagement continuity can have direct revenue implications.

Addressing India’s Structural CX Challenge

India’s expanding startup and enterprise ecosystem has accelerated the
scaling of sales and support teams.
However, sustained attrition can lead to recurring knowledge resets and
operational gaps.

Rootle.ai believes institutional memory infrastructure will become
increasingly relevant as AI adoption deepens across industries.

“As AI adoption accelerates, automation alone will not define
winners,” Patel added. “The real advantage will belong to companies that can
compound knowledge instead of repeatedly rebuilding it. Institutional memory is
emerging as a foundational layer for enterprise customer experience.”

About Rootle.ai

Founded in Ahmedabad, Rootle.ai is a Voice AI platform focused on
strengthening and automating customer journeys for Indian enterprises. The
company is building an Institutional Memory Voice AI system aimed at ensuring
continuity, consistency, and scalability in customer engagement.

<title>Hyderabad&amp;apos;s Ethika Insurance Wins International Insurtech Award — Proof That India Can Redefine Employee Benefits for Asia</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/hyderabads-ethika-insurance-wins-international-insurtech-award-proof-that-india-can-redefine-employee-benefits-for-asia</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ HYDERABAD,
INDIA : At a time when most Indian insurance brokers
are still navigating the transition from paper to PDF, Ethika Insurance Broking
has leapfrogged the conversation entirely — earning international recognition
for building something Asia&#039;s insurance industry has rarely seen: an employee
benefits ecosystem anchored in technology, empathy, and measurable happiness.

The
Indian Chamber of Commerce has recognized Ethika Insurance Broking at the 6th
Emerging Asia Insurance Conclave, held in Thailand, with the award for Best
Innovations Led by Technology &amp; Insurtech — General Insurance (India). The
conclave brings together insurers, brokers, regulators, and Insurtech leaders
from across high-growth Asian markets — making this recognition a signal to the
region, not just the country.



&quot;Insurance
should not start at hospitalization. It should start at happiness. This
recognition tells us the world is ready for that idea.&quot;



— Susheel Agarwal, Founder &amp; CEO, Ethika
Insurance Broking

For
Susheel Agarwal, who built Ethika entirely without external funding — 100%
bootstrapped and profitable since inception — the Thailand recognition is less
about a trophy and more about a thesis being validated on a global stage.

A Company Built on a
Radical Premise

Group
Health Insurance in India has historically been a procurement exercise.
Companies negotiated premiums in January, filed claims in March, and wondered
why their employees didn&#039;t feel more cared for. The broker was a middleman. The
insurer was a black box. And the employee — the person the policy was actually
meant to protect — was the last person considered in the conversation.

Ethika
was founded to dismantle this model.

Starting
from Hyderabad&#039;s Kondapur — the same zip code that houses some of India&#039;s
largest tech companies — Ethika built its philosophy around one question: what
would employee benefits look like if we designed them from the employee&#039;s
experience outward, rather than from the policy document inward?

The
answer took shape as three interlocking pillars that now define Ethika&#039;s model:

●       
Technology that eliminates friction — the
Ethika OS™, a proprietary benefits management platform that enables HR teams to
manage employee benefits in minutes, and gives employees a single mobile
interface for enrollment, claims, wellness, and coverage.

●       
Claims that feel like care — the Red Carpet
Claims Assistance model, which deploys dedicated specialists to guide employees
through hospitalization rather than routing them through call centers. The
goal, as Ethika puts it internally: claims assistance that earns thank-you
notes, not just approvals.

●       
Benefits that go beyond the hospital — the
Employee Happiness Insurance framework, which embeds unlimited doctor
consultations, mental health counseling, financial and legal support, nutrition
programs, preventive checkups, and wellbeing workshops directly into the Group
Health Insurance umbrella. Creating a perceived annual benefit value of ₹28,000
to ₹72,000 per employee.

The Numbers Behind the
Philosophy

In
an industry where client retention averages 60-70%, Ethika holds 92%. In a
sector where broker reviews are rarely sought and almost never flattering,
Ethika has earned a 4.9-star rating from over 3,000 Google reviews — a
distinction no other insurance broker in India currently holds. The company
covers over 2,00,000 lives across 600+ corporate clients and settles more than
1,000 claims every month.

These
are not startup metrics. They are the outcomes of a company that chose depth
over scale, service over growth-hacking, and genuine care over sales-first
thinking.

What &#039;Employee
Happiness Insurance&#039; Actually Means

The
most misunderstood aspect of Ethika&#039;s model is also its most powerful. When
Ethika talks about &#039;Employee Happiness Insurance,&#039; it is not describing a
branding exercise. It is describing a structural shift in what Group Health
Insurance delivers.

Traditional
GHI activates when something goes wrong — when an employee is hospitalized,
when a claim is filed, when a crisis occurs. Ethika&#039;s model activates every
day, with wellness touchpoints, mental health support, financial counseling,
and preventive care that make the policy feel alive to the employee — not just
relevant in a hospital corridor.



&quot;When
organizations start solving employee personal problems, employees start solving
business problems. That is the direct link between benefits design and business
outcomes.&quot;



— Susheel Agarwal

The
result is measurable: companies that implement Ethika&#039;s Happiness Ecosystem
report stronger talent retention, higher benefit program awareness, and —
crucially — fewer claims, because prevention was built into the design from the
start.

Bootstrapped in India.
Recognized Across Asia.

Emerging Asia Insurance Conclave is not a participation ]]></description>

<h1></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">HYDERABAD, INDIA : </span></b><span lang="EN">At a time when most Indian insurance brokers are still navigating the transition from paper to PDF, Ethika Insurance Broking has leapfrogged the conversation entirely — earning international recognition for building something Asia's insurance industry has rarely seen: an employee benefits ecosystem anchored in technology, empathy, and measurable happiness.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The Indian Chamber of Commerce has recognized Ethika Insurance Broking at the 6th Emerging Asia Insurance Conclave, held in Thailand, with the award for Best Innovations Led by Technology &amp; Insurtech — General Insurance (India). The conclave brings together insurers, brokers, regulators, and Insurtech leaders from across high-growth Asian markets — making this recognition a signal to the region, not just the country.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN">"Insurance should not start at hospitalization. It should start at happiness. This recognition tells us the world is ready for that idea."</span></i></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">— Susheel Agarwal, Founder &amp; CEO, Ethika Insurance Broking</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For Susheel Agarwal, who built Ethika entirely without external funding — 100% bootstrapped and profitable since inception — the Thailand recognition is less about a trophy and more about a thesis being validated on a global stage.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><a name="_x42zhrecprlk"></a><b><span lang="EN">A Company Built on a Radical Premise</span></b></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Group Health Insurance in India has historically been a procurement exercise. Companies negotiated premiums in January, filed claims in March, and wondered why their employees didn't feel more cared for. The broker was a middleman. The insurer was a black box. And the employee — the person the policy was actually meant to protect — was the last person considered in the conversation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Ethika was founded to dismantle this model.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Starting from Hyderabad's Kondapur — the same zip code that houses some of India's largest tech companies — Ethika built its philosophy around one question: what would employee benefits look like if we designed them from the employee's experience outward, rather than from the policy document inward?</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The answer took shape as three interlocking pillars that now define Ethika's model:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN"><span>●<span>        </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN">Technology that eliminates friction — the Ethika OS™, a proprietary benefits management platform that enables HR teams to manage employee benefits in minutes, and gives employees a single mobile interface for enrollment, claims, wellness, and coverage.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN"><span>●<span>        </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN">Claims that feel like care — the Red Carpet Claims Assistance model, which deploys dedicated specialists to guide employees through hospitalization rather than routing them through call centers. The goal, as Ethika puts it internally: claims assistance that earns thank-you notes, not just approvals.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN"><span>●<span>        </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN">Benefits that go beyond the hospital — the Employee Happiness Insurance framework, which embeds unlimited doctor consultations, mental health counseling, financial and legal support, nutrition programs, preventive checkups, and wellbeing workshops directly into the Group Health Insurance umbrella. Creating a perceived annual benefit value of ₹28,000 to ₹72,000 per employee.</span></p>
<p></p>

It convenes decision-makers from insurance markets across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the broader emerging Asia corridor — markets where the intersection of technology, underinsurance, and rapid workforce growth makes the question of employee benefits design existential, not optional.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For a 100% India-built, India-funded company to stand on that stage is, in itself, a statement about what Indian Insurtech can achieve without Silicon Valley capital or global backing.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Ethika holds IRDAI Certificate No. 574 and is a proud member of the Insurance Brokers Association of India (IBAI).

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For the HR leaders and CFOs who manage Group Health Insurance decisions in Indian companies, the Ethika model offers a fundamentally different question to ask their current broker: are you building us an ecosystem, or selling us a policy?</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The difference shows up in claims turnaround times, employee NPS scores, benefit program utilization rates, and ultimately, in whether your people feel looked after — or just covered.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Companies that have partnered with Ethika consistently report that the shift from a traditional broker to an employee benefits ecosystem partner changes the internal conversation about HR investment — from cost center to strategic asset.</span></p>

<title>Aadyam Handwoven Powers the Return of the Sufi Heritage Festival at Sunder Nursery, New Delhi on February 28 &amp;amp; March 1, 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[ At
Aadyam Handwoven, craft has always been a point of departure; never a boundary.
Through #CultureBeyondTextiles, Aadyam’s umbrella cultural initiative,
the brand continues to explore the many ways India’s living heritage finds
expression beyond the loom through music such as #MusicofAadyam, performance,
storytelling, and shared cultural experiences.

Furthering
this commitment to cultural continuity and contemporary dialogue, Aadyam
Handwoven is proud to power the return of the Sufi Heritage Festival to the
historic gardens of Sunder Nursery for its second edition on February 28 and
March 1, 2026. Conceptualised by Yasmin Kidwai and Himanshu Anand of Culture
Plus, the festival celebrates Sufism as a dynamic, evolving cultural force; one
that continues to shape artistic expression, community life, and collective
memory.

Powered
by Aadyam Handwoven, the Sufi Heritage Festival is designed as an
immersive and contemporary cultural experience, bringing together music,
poetry, storytelling, and interdisciplinary formats that honour legacy while
encouraging new interpretations. Rooted in shared values of preservation, continuity,
and dialogue, the festival aligns closely with Aadyam’s belief that culture is
not static but rather fluid and flexible.



A
key highlight of this year’s edition is Bebaak, a stage curated by
Aadyam Handwoven—envisioned as a space for bold, fearless voices and
experimentation. Featuring Sonam Kalra, Saumya Kulshreshtha, The Aahvaan
Project, Shinjini Kulkarni, Murad Ali Collective, among others, the brand is
delighted to present six artistes on this stage, reflecting the spirit of
Bebaak; unafraid, expressive, and rooted in contemporary cultural vocabularies.

Meanwhile,
Samaa, the main stage, will see a powerful line-up of legacy and
contemporary performers including Sona Mohapatra, Daler Mehndi, Marham Poetry,
and others who continue to reinterpret Sufi thought for present-day audiences.

Speaking
on the association,

Manish
Saksena, Business Lead, Aadyam Handwoven, said:

“Sufi
Heritage Festival, in its second edition, once again pinnacles our efforts on #CultureBeyondTextiles
under which we celebrate stories around our handloom clusters through baithaks,
conversations, and music compilations all year round. We are delighted to
present six artistes this year at ‘Bebaak’ across music, dance, and spoken
word. Each performance reverberates the theme of boldness and fearlessness in
the vast vocabulary of performing arts.”



Yasmin
Kidwai, Co-Founder, Culture Plus, said:
“Sufism has shaped Delhi’s emotional and cultural landscape for
centuries, allowing faith, art, poetry, and everyday life to coexist without
rigid boundaries. The Sufi Heritage Festival reflects Delhi’s syncretic spirit–
its ability to hold difference with grace, curiosity, and warmth. Through this
platform, we aim to create safe, open spaces where Sufi thought and music can
not only be experienced as living traditions but also be interpreted freely
through thought, expression, and dialogue.
Delhi, with its plural memory, open geography, and deep Sufi lineage, is the
festival’s most natural home– a city that has always understood love as a
language without borders.”

Himanshu
Anand, Co-Founder, Culture Plus, said:
“For me, Sufism is not something we look at only through the lens of
tradition. It is something that continues to evolve, question, and speak to the
present. Through the festival, our focus is on creating contemporary, original
performances that engage with Sufi thought in ways that feel honest and
relevant to today’s audiences. We are working closely with artistes to develop
content that goes beyond repetition and nostalgia, and instead offers depth,
experimentation, and fresh expression. The aim is to build experiences for a
discerning viewer—someone who is curious, emotionally open, and willing to
engage with Sufism as a living, breathing cultural force.”

Extending
the festival experience is the Sufi Bazaar, a curated showcase of 15
artisanal brands from across India. Curated by Yasmin Kidwai and Manish
Saksena, the Bazaar brings together heirloom crafts, textile traditions,
handmade objects, and design-led expressions that foreground craft as living
heritage—an ethos deeply resonant with Aadyam Handwoven’s long-standing
engagement with India’s handloom clusters.

The
Sufi Heritage Festival also finds a natural resonance with Aadyam’s recent
cultural initiatives, including the launch of Humsaaz—Aadyam Handwoven’s
original music album that brings together voices, poetry, and soundscapes
rooted in emotion, collaboration, and cultural memory with artistes such as
Vidya Shah, Ananyaa Gaur, Sonam Kalra, Swanand Kirkire amongst others. The
album is streaming on Spotify &amp; Apple Music. Like Humsaaz, the festival
celebrates the power of music and storytelling to transcend form, geography,
and time—strengthening Aadyam’s  ]]></description>

<title>This Startup Founder from Hyderabad Is Quietly Building India’s Answer to Silicon Valley’s AI Marketing Giants</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad / New Delhi:  At the recent AI Summit in Delhi, the founder of Wittelsbach AI met the
Honorable Chief Minister of Telangana while representing the company’s vision
of building a globally competitive AI marketing intelligence platform from
India.

Wittelsbach AI is
developing a performance marketing focused AI tool designed to help businesses
identify revenue leaks, optimize advertising performance, and scale profitably
through real-time intelligence.

Unlike traditional
dashboards, the platform focuses on actionable insights rather than raw data.

The product is being
positioned to compete with Silicon Valley marketing intelligence platforms such
as Triple Whale, Madgicx, and Birch — but with a sharper focus on predictive
revenue modeling and leak detection.

Key differentiators
being built into Wittelsbach AI:

* Revenue Leak
Detection Engine — Identifies wasted ad spend, funnel drop-offs, and hidden
conversion gaps automatically.
* AI Decision Layer — Converts ad account data into clear “what to do next”
instructions instead of passive analytics.
* Founder-Centric Optimization Model — Built specifically for scaling brands,
not just media buyers.
* Multi-Platform Intelligence — Designed to interpret Meta, Google, and
e-commerce data as one unified revenue system.
* Early Error Detection System — Flags structural issues agencies often miss

service capabilities. The next step is building global AI products that compete
at the highest level,” the founder stated.

operating system for performance-driven businesses.

<title>INDECIMAL Raises the Bar: India’s First Reality&amp;TV Featured Construction Startup Built on Trust &amp;amp; Technology</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indecimal-raises-the-bar-indias-first-reality-tv-featured-construction-startup-built-on-trust-technology</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indecimal-raises-the-bar-indias-first-reality-tv-featured-construction-startup-built-on-trust-technology</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ INDECIMAL has emerged as India’s first maintenance-backed construction
company, redefining how residential and commercial projects come to life. The
company began its journey in June 2025 during a simple “chai pe charcha,”
sparked by a powerful vision, to build homes rooted in trust, transparency, and
timeless quality. Identifying a significant gap in the construction industry,
INDECIMAL was founded with four clear purposes: to make customers’ lives
simple, easy, stress-free, and built on trust. Since its inception, the company
has remained committed to these principles, delivering excellence across every
project and nurturing strong client relationships. By integrating advanced
technology with transparency, accountability, and trust, INDECIMAL aims to transform
the traditional construction landscape into a more structured and reliable
ecosystem.



In a remarkable achievement, while many
startups take years to gain recognition, INDECIMAL secured an invitation within
just six months to feature on the prestigious business reality show Bharat Ke
Super Founders, aired on Amazon MX Player and walked away funded. Notably,
INDECIMAL became the first company from the construction industry in India to
be featured on a nationally aired business reality television series.

Years of experience across different
industries taught me one important lesson: “Every problem has a solution if
we are willing to look deeper.” When I stepped into the construction
industry, I observed something that truly concerned me. Customers were overwhelmed,
processes were unstructured, and trust was often compromised. Building a home,
which should be one of the happiest milestones in life, has become a stressful
and uncertain journey. Managing a construction project from start to finish
meant arranging loans, finalizing designs, hiring contractors, coordinating
interiors, and handling multiple stakeholders separately. There was no seamless
experience and no single point of accountability. I strongly felt that “the
industry did not just need improvement, it needed transformation.” That
conviction led to the birth of Indecimal, built with a clear mission to bring
structure, transparency, accountability, and technology into one seamless
construction experience. Today, after delivering 85+ projects in a short span,
my belief has only grown stronger. “We are not just building homes, we are
building trust and long-lasting relationships.” Over the next five years,
my vision is clear: “Indecimal will set new benchmarks in tech-driven
construction, redefine customer experience standards, expand across 10 major
cities and make transparent, accountable building the industry norm rather than
the exception.” – Abhijit Sarkar (CEO)

I am an entrepreneur driven by vision,
resilience, and the desire to solve real problems. My journey began during my
college days and during COVID, I founded a company that unfortunately did not
succeed due to the circumstances. That failure did not stop me; it shaped me. I
truly believe that “failure is not the opposite of success, it is a part of
the journey.” Instead of giving up, I chose to think bigger and aim higher.
I have always believed that “the three most essential needs of human life
are food, clothing, and shelter (roti, kapda aur makaan).” While the first
two industries are relatively organized, I realized that shelter, especially
construction, still lacks transparency, structure, and trust. Customers often
face delays, hidden costs, miscommunication, and broken commitments; turning
what should be a joyful milestone into a stressful experience. That realization
led me to a clear thought: “The construction industry does not just need
builders, it needs accountability and innovation.” This belief sparked the
idea of Indecimal, with a mission to bring structure, transparency, and trust
into every project we undertake. Over the next five years, my vision is clear:
“Indecimal will scale rapidly across key markets, strengthen our technology
backbone, expand our project portfolio, and establish ourselves as a
high-growth, process-driven construction brand that sets new benchmarks for
transparency and customer satisfaction.” – Utkarsh Mishra (CPO &amp; CGO)

With many years of experience working with
some of the most renowned companies, I was always eager to explore and
implement my own ideas. In every organisation I worked with, I consistently
identified operational gaps and delivered effective solutions. I strongly
believe that “real growth begins when you challenge existing systems and
improve them.” However, when I stepped into the construction industry, I
realised something was missing. Despite my experience and efforts, I could not
provide customers with a complete and truly satisfying solution. The process
felt fragmented, coordination was lacking, and accountability was not clearly
defined. That phase pushed me into deep reflection about the ki ]]></description>

<title>Hyderabad Gets a New Architectural Landmark as Purple Metallic Structure Opens in Khajaguda</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/hyderabad-gets-a-new-architectural-landmark-as-purple-metallic-structure-opens-in-khajaguda</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/hyderabad-gets-a-new-architectural-landmark-as-purple-metallic-structure-opens-in-khajaguda</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad has added a bold
new icon to its urban landscape with the opening of a visually distinctive
metallic-purple building in Khajaguda. Even ahead of its official public
launch, the structure has already become a major talking point, drawing
attention for its unconventional design, reflective façade, and strong presence
across social media platforms.

 

More than just a
commercial structure, the building is being recognised as a statement of modern
architectural expression. Breaking away from conventional straight-line
designs, the landmark features fluid curves and a mirror-finish purple metallic
exterior that responds dramatically to changing light conditions. Morning light
lends it a subtle elegance, afternoon sunlight transforms it into a radiant
sculptural form, and by night, curated lighting turns it into a glowing urban
focal point.

 

The wave-inspired design
creates an illusion of motion, symbolising the momentum of a city that
continues to evolve as a hub for technology, innovation, and contemporary
lifestyle. Urban observers note that this form of experiential architecture
reflects a broader shift in Hyderabad’s growth story—where buildings are no longer
just functional spaces, but immersive destinations designed to engage the
senses.

 

To highlight the
structure’s distinctiveness, the promoters launched a bold social media
challenge inviting the public to identify a similar building anywhere in the world,
with a reward of ₹1,00,000 for a comparable example. The campaign quickly
gained traction online, especially among architecture enthusiasts and nightlife
audiences. According to the organisers, no matching structure has been
identified so far, reinforcing claims that the building is truly one of a kind.

 

Beyond its architectural
appeal, the building is positioned as a unified lifestyle and entertainment
destination. From 22 February 2026, it will open to the public with a single
integrated hospitality concept that brings together Insomnia | Naughty Kodi Bar
&amp; Kitchen under one cohesive experience. Rather than functioning as
separate establishments, Insomnia and Naughty Kodi Bar &amp; Kitchen operate as
a combined concept—seamlessly blending high-energy nightlife with vibrant
social dining in the same space.

 

The venue is designed to
offer a continuous experience, transitioning smoothly from evening gatherings
to late-night entertainment. With immersive lighting, contemporary interiors,
curated music, and a menu crafted for social interaction, it caters to
professionals, entrepreneurs, and young urban residents seeking premium leisure
destinations. This integrated approach reflects evolving consumer preferences
for all-in-one experiential spaces.

 

Located in Khajaguda, one
of the city’s fastest-developing corridors, the landmark also symbolises the
area’s rapid transformation. Once primarily residential, Khajaguda is steadily
emerging as a lifestyle and entertainment hub, driven by the influx of IT
professionals, startups, and a younger demographic.

 

As Hyderabad continues to
expand beyond its traditional commercial centres, developments like this purple
landmark signal the rise of new urban destinations. With its doors opening from
22 February 2026, the building invites visitors to experience not just
architecture or hospitality, but a space designed to leave a lasting
impression—cementing its place as a new icon in the city’s evolving skyline.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Hyderabad has added a bold new icon to its urban landscape with the opening of a visually distinctive metallic-purple building in Khajaguda. Even ahead of its official public launch, the structure has already become a major talking point, drawing attention for its unconventional design, reflective façade, and strong presence across social media platforms.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>More than just a commercial structure, the building is being recognised as a statement of modern architectural expression. Breaking away from conventional straight-line designs, the landmark features fluid curves and a mirror-finish purple metallic exterior that responds dramatically to changing light conditions. Morning light lends it a subtle elegance, afternoon sunlight transforms it into a radiant sculptural form, and by night, curated lighting turns it into a glowing urban focal point.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The wave-inspired design creates an illusion of motion, symbolising the momentum of a city that continues to evolve as a hub for technology, innovation, and contemporary lifestyle. Urban observers note that this form of experiential architecture reflects a broader shift in Hyderabad’s growth story—where buildings are no longer just functional spaces, but immersive destinations designed to engage the senses.</span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>To highlight the structure’s distinctiveness, the promoters launched a bold social media challenge inviting the public to identify a similar building anywhere in the world, with a reward of ₹1,00,000 for a comparable example. The campaign quickly gained traction online, especially among architecture enthusiasts and nightlife audiences. According to the organisers, no matching structure has been identified so far, reinforcing claims that the building is truly one of a kind.</span><span></span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad,
February 23, 2026 : Hyderabad saw an early-morning surge of energy
and purpose as over 4200 runners took part in the Mindspace EcoRun
2.0, held on Sunday at Mindspace Madhapur. Back for the second
consecutive year and organised by Mindspace REIT in association with Mirchi,
the event blended a city-scale running experience with a strong sustainability
focus, drawing participation from seasoned runners, first-timers, families, and
corporate teams. The event atmosphere was amplified by Mirchi RJs, with
celebrities including Divi Vadthya, Harsh Roshan and Sridevi
Apalla who attended and flagged off the run.

Runners
participated in 5 KM, 10 KM, and 21 KM categories, the 21 KM Half
Marathon and 10 KM categories witnessed enthusiastic participation from aged 18
years and above, while the 5 KM run welcomed individuals aged 8 years and
above, making the event an inclusive celebration of fitness and community
spirit across age groups while building a strong community turnout across
Hyderabad’s workplace and neighbourhood ecosystem.

Designed
around a planet-friendly experience, the Mindspace EcoRun 2.0 featured eco-conscious
race kits such as plantable bibs, organic jerseys, refillable hydration
stations and biodegradable cutlery for breakfast, aimed at reducing
single-use consumption across the event and other waste management practices. 

Ahead
of race day, the Mindspace EcoRun Expo held on February 20 and
21 hosted a Sustainability Flea Market, showcasing eco-friendly
products while enabling livelihood opportunities for specially abled
individuals and women from underprivileged communities, in partnership with
the NGO partner Nirmaan.

Speaking
about the second edition, Shrawan Kumar Gone, COO – K Raheja Corp (AP &amp;
Telangana) said, “Mindspace EcoRun 2.0 reflects our continued commitment to
integrating sustainability into every aspect of our developments. Beyond being
a marathon, this initiative demonstrates how large-scale community engagement
can drive measurable environmental and social impact. We look forward to
growing this platform year after year and deepening its positive footprint.”



With
its second edition, Mindspace EcoRun continues to strengthen Hyderabad’s
growing movement toward mindful living, community wellness, and
sustainability-led action. A key highlight this year is that the event waste
collected will be upcycled into functional chairs and donated to school
children associated with the NGO partner Nirmaan ]]></description>

<title>India AI Impact Summit 2026 Convenes Global Leaders on Open Data Regulation; Panel Calls for &amp;apos;Structured Openness&amp;apos;</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, 23 February 2026 : The Cyril Shroff Centre for AI, Law and
Regulation at Jindal Global Law School, O.P. Jindal Global University, in
partnership with Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, convened a high-profile panel
titled “Exploring a Regulatory Framework for Open Data” at Bharat Mandapam as
part of the India AI Impact Summit 2026.

Dr.
Shashi Tharoor, Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha) for Thiruvananthapuram,
delivered the keynote address, framing data governance as a question of
power, sovereignty and value extraction and advocated for “structured
openness”, an approach that prioritises open data infrastructure while
deliberately building guardrails and domestic capacity to prevent inequalities
and external dependency.

The
session was moderated by Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice-Chancellor
and Dean, Jindal Global Law School, O.P. Jindal Global University,
who guided the discussion on whether data sharing should move from a voluntary
practice to an institutional duty backed by statute.  

Mr.
Cyril Shroff, Managing Partner, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas,
argued for a statutory and regulatory open-data framework to overcome
government data siloing and provide the legal certainty that fosters investor
confidence, responsible innovation and market-led growth.

Mr.
Arun S. Prabhu, Partner &amp; Co-Head (Digital | TMT Practice), Cyril Amarchand
Mangaldas, emphasised that effective open-data
governance requires the law to systematically address operational issues -
anonymisation, standardisation, purpose-limitation, while clearly defining the objectives
for data sharing.



Ms.
Rama Vedashree, former Chief Executive Officer, Data Security Council of India
(DSCI), highlighted that India’s open-data ecosystem
often lacks machine-readability, rich metadata and interoperability, and that
“open” must increasingly mean usable for AI and other advanced applications.

From
the private sector, Ms. Irina Ghose, Managing Director, Anthropic (India),
underlined the need for a trust continuum from data origin to end-use and
proposed concepts such as a “model context protocol” to enable contextual,
local-language and domain-specific data to be usable at scale for AI
applications.

Dr.
Sasmit Patra, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha),
noted how a trusted, reliable data infrastructure is essential for
evidence-based policymaking and cited AI-driven crop-loss prediction as a
high-impact public-interest use case.

Ms.
Asha Jadeja Motwani, Founder, Motwani Jadeja Foundation,
synthesised the discussion and called for enforceable open-data laws,
recognition of public data as core digital infrastructure, and stronger
international alignment to advance shared global AI governance aims.

Speakers
emphasised that open data must increasingly mean usable, and that datasets
should be machine-readable, richly annotated, and provided through AI-ready
public data infrastructure (APIs, interoperability standards, and reliable,
scalable access) so they can safely power public-interest AI applications. The
session concluded that a combination of enforceable law, technical standards
and international cooperation will be central to a workable open-data regime
suitable for the AI age.

The
India AI Impact Summit 2026 brought together global leaders from government,
industry, and civil society at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, to deliberate on collective
principles and actionable roadmaps for AI governance and ecosystem development. ]]></description>

<title>Why experienced professionals are pursuing global MBAs</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Today’s
business environment is no longer evolving in straight lines. It is in a state
of constant flux, shaped by rapid AI adoption, shifting geopolitics, and
increasingly complex operating models. According to McKinsey, 64%  of executives stat that AI is already
enabling innovation (The State of AI: Global Survey 2025, McKinsey), while
Deloitte reports that AI-driven decision-making is now influencing core
management processes, not just technology functions. Gartner goes a step
further, predicting that most management decisions in large enterprises will
soon be augmented by AI systems (The State of AI in the Enterprise - 2026 AI
report, Deloitte US).

Together,
these signals point to a fundamental shift: leadership judgement, strategy, and
organisational design are being rewritten by emerging technologies. As a
result, experienced business professionals are turning back to management
education - not to learn tools, but to recalibrate how they think, decide, and
lead in an AI-shaped world.

Why
mid-career leaders are re-engaging with an MBA

For
decades, the MBA was seen as a prelude to leadership. Today, it is increasingly
viewed as a mid-career instrument for refinement.

According
to recent reports, many leading business schools across the globe have reported
double-digit growth in MBA applications (Unpacking 2024&#039;s High MBA Application
Rates, Clear Admit)  Senior professionals
across industries are re-entering formal learning environments to deepen
strategic thinking, sharpen leadership judgement, and develop a global
perspective without stepping away from active roles.

What
they seek is not a pause from work, but an intellectual counterpoint to it.
This shift has reshaped what an MBA for working professionals looks like.
Flexibility matters, but so does rigour. Peer learning is central, not
peripheral. And application is valued over abstraction. The classroom is no
longer a place to escape practice, but to interrogate it.

A
global MBA designed for the reality of work

It
is within this context that The University of Western Australia’s (UWA) global MBA with IIM
Kozhikode certification has found resonance.
Designed as a globally oriented MBA for experienced professionals, the program
reflects a deliberate balance between academic depth and real-world relevance.
Delivered in an online format, it allows professionals to remain embedded in
their roles while engaging in structured, reflective learning.

The
emphasis is not on career interruption, but on career integration; where
learning and leadership evolve in parallel.

The
strength of legacy education

Learners
begin their journey by completing a Professional Certification in Advanced
Business Management from IIM Kozhikode, a milestone that signals rigorous
grounding in core management disciplines and leadership thinking shaped by one
of India’s most respected institutions. This stage builds strategic depth,
managerial judgement, and business fluency, creating a strong foundation for
senior leadership roles.

Upon
successful completion, the learning experience progresses to the global MBA offered by UWA,
where this foundation is extended into a truly international context. UWA’s
global MBA broadens perspective through strategy, leadership, and
decision-making frameworks, enabling learners to operate confidently across
markets, cultures, and complex global organisations.

Learning
architecture, not feature lists

Rather
than being defined by a checklist of courses, the program is structured as a
progression. Learners move from foundational business disciplines into advanced
strategic thinking, leadership judgement, and organisational perspective.
Concepts are revisited at increasing levels of complexity, mirroring the way
real leadership challenges evolve over time.

The
maturity of this approach is reflected in its track record. With more than 12
successfully delivered cohorts, the program has transitioned into a stable,
well-honed learning architecture.

The
learner experience in practice

The
impact of the program is perhaps best reflected in its learner outcomes.

Survey
feedback collected from over 500 learners in the program shows an average
satisfaction rating of 4.5 out of 5. Professionals span industries,
geographies, and functional backgrounds, creating a peer learning environment
that is both diverse and grounded in experience.

Learners
frequently describe the value of engaging with peers who bring contrasting
perspectives -leaders navigating similar complexities in different contexts.
The result is not just skill acquisition, but professional reorientation:
clearer thinking, more confident leadership, and renewed perspective.

Preparing
leaders for an AI-shaped future

The
program also acknowledges a reality shaping every
boardroom conversation: artificial intelligence.

Rather
than approaching AI as a technical discipline, AI ]]></description>

and calm everyday living. With well-designed interiors, refined finishes, and
carefully planned lifestyle amenities, La Serena brings together the essentials
of modern urban living in one of Mumbai’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. 

The
vision behind the project is simple: to make daily living feel better. Every
detail, from generous layouts to expansive open spaces, reflects a deep
understanding of how today’s families live. Whether it is spending quality time
with loved ones at the podium amenities or returning to bright, airy rooms at
the end of the day, La Serena supports a lifestyle that feels effortless and

“At
La Serena, we wanted to go beyond just building homes. The idea was to create a
low-density, peaceful environment where families can truly experience space,
light, and comfort in their everyday lives. It is our vision of refined yet
practical luxury for modern Mumbai,” said Arch. Arun Pagnis, Sr. Architect. 

A

across 2.4 acres, the low-density development ensures maximum privacy and
peace, with up to four apartments per floor. Each configuration has its own

The
living and dining areas are well-planned, comfortably accommodating larger
gatherings, while the bedrooms are designed efficiently to accommodate a bed,
full-height wardrobes, and a study or dresser without restricting movement.
Kitchens come equipped with modular cabinetry, a hob, chimney, stainless steel
sink, Kajaria vitrified tiles, MGL gas piping, and a black granite kitchen
platform, offering both functionality and refined design. Bathrooms feature
premium Kajaria tiles, Duravit sanitary ware, and Hansgrohe faucets, all

<description><![CDATA[ Located at Food Hills, Mumbai-Nashik Highway, Near
     Igatpuri
 Has a 360kW star charge power unit with two dynamic load
     balancing dispensers


Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], February 20:
Swedish luxury car brand, Volvo Car India and ChargeZone®, India’s
largest EV charging network, today inaugurated an ultra-fast charging station on
the Mumbai-Nashik Highway that features a 360kW star charge power unit with two
dynamic load balancing dispensers. This station is located at Food Hills,
Mumbai-Nashik Highway, Near Igatpuri. This marks a significant milestone in
their collaboration to build a premium nationwide supercharging network.

This intelligent configuration enables optimal power distribution, reduced
waiting times and faster real-world charging experience for Volvo customers and
other EV users. Strategically positioned on one of Maharashtra’s busiest
intercity routes, the charging station offers dedicated bays for Volvo EVs,
seamless app-based access for navigation and payments, and an elevated customer

<title>The Coolest Summer: Why Seattle is the Ultimate Family Base Camp for World Cup 2026</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-coolest-summer-why-seattle-is-the-ultimate-family-base-camp-for-world-cup-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For
the Indian traveler, the months of June and July typically evoke a specific
sensory memory: the sticky humidity of Mumbai, the searing heat of Delhi, or
the heavy monsoon rains of the South. But imagine, for a moment, swapping that
swelter for a crisp, 24°C afternoon with zero humidity, a light breeze off the
ocean, and the sun still shining at 9:00 PM.

Welcome
to the Seattle summer, mother
nature’s best-kept secret and the primary reason why
families planning a trip for the FIFA World Cup 2026 should look to the Pacific
Northwest.

While
the tournament is the main event, the &quot;Let&#039;s Play SEA 26&quot; campaign is
inviting Indian families to experience a destination that solves the two
biggest headaches of international travel: the weather and the commute.

The
&quot;Walkable&quot; World Cup

For
anyone who has traveled to the U.S. for sports, the stadium commute is usually
a dreaded logistical hurdle. In most American host cities, stadiums are located
in distant suburbs, requiring hour-long train rides or expensive taxi journeys.

Seattle
breaks this mold entirely. The Seattle Stadium is an exception in modern sports
architecture, it sits confidently right in the heart of the city.

For
a family, this proximity is a game changer. It means you can wake up in your
downtown hotel, visit the famous Pike Place Market for a breakfast of fresh
berries and croissants, and simply walk to the match. There is no need to herd
children onto crowded shuttle buses or navigate confusing freeway systems. The
stadium is nestled next to the historic Pioneer Square neighborhood and the
vibrant Chinatown-International District, effectively weaving the World Cup
into the fabric of daily life. You can watch a global spectacle at 12:00 PM and
be back in your hotel room for a nap or a refresh by 3:00 PM, all on foot.

A
Climate Built for Exploration

The
weather in Seattle during the World Cup (June/July) is arguably the best in
North America. With average highs hovering comfortably in the low-to-mid 20s
(Celsius) and low humidity, it is the perfect &quot;Goldilocks&quot; climate,
not too hot, not too cold.

This
pleasant weather unlocks a &quot;One City&quot; experience that is rare
globally. Because you aren’t battling heat exhaustion, you can pack more into
your day without fatigue. A morning spent exploring the Museum of Flight can
easily transition into an evening sunset cruise on Elliott Bay. The long
daylight hours, sunset is often past 9:00 PM, give families a bonus evening
every day to explore without rushing.

Nature
at Your Doorstep

The
convenience of the downtown stadium leaves plenty of time to explore the
&quot;Emerald&quot; side of the city. The Washington State Ferries terminal is
just a short walk from the stadium. From there, a 35-minute scenic ride (which
costs less than a movie ticket) transports you to Bainbridge Island, where the
skyline is replaced by towering evergreens and quiet beaches.

For
families, the high energy of the match is perfectly counterbalanced by the
serene, cool nature that surrounds the city. Whether it’s a day trip to see the
wildflowers at Mount Rainier or just a picnic at Gas Works Park, the city
invites you to slow down.

Comfort
for the Indian Family

Beyond
the logistics, Seattle offers a cultural comfort level that is hard to beat. The
food scene is incredibly inclusive, with a massive variety of vegetarian,
vegan, and Asian-fusion options available just steps from the stadium.

In
2026, don&#039;t just book a match ticket; book an escape. Seattle offers the Indian
family a chance to enjoy the world&#039;s biggest sporting party without the sweat
and stress, wrapped in the cool, green embrace of the perfect American summer.

<title>From Runway to Boardroom: CIAL Aeropark Redefines Where India Works</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/from-runway-to-boardroom-cial-aeropark-redefines-where-india-works</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/from-runway-to-boardroom-cial-aeropark-redefines-where-india-works</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Kochi : Cochin International Airport Limited
(CIAL) has stepped beyond aviation and into the future of work, launching
India’s first co-working space operated by an airport operator. The CIASL
Business Centre, nestled in the CIAL Aeropark, is a first-of-its-kind move
where an airport operator enters the co-working business for the very first
time, transforming the airport ecosystem into a high-performance business
destination.

 

Designed to host 400–500 professionals, the
centre blends the power of airport connectivity with tech-enabled, modern,
aesthetically designed workspaces; carefully planned for a premium and diverse
customer base. Situated at the heart of Kerala’s airport-led business zone, it
delivers something rare: a workspace that is minutes away from the terminal,
where boardroom meetings and boarding gates can feel part of the same schedule.

 

Fully furnished and ready-to-move-in, the
business centre offers value-added services including high-speed Wi-Fi,
housekeeping, ample car parking, 24×7 power backup and a strong community
experience through curated events and flexible workspace solutions. It also
stands out as the only premium co-working/business centre in the Cochin Airport
nearby area, making it the most convenient option for businesses that operate
around travel, aviation and high-frequency client movement.

 

Key Features at Your Runway’s Edge

 

The facility offers a versatile line-up:

•           Fully
serviced private office cabins

•           Expansive
co-working areas

•           Modern
meeting rooms and executive boardrooms

•           A
fully equipped seminar hall

•           Large
corporate event spaces

•           Dedicated
podcast studios

•           In-house
dining and restaurants

•           Ample
parking for tenants and guests

This setup enables businesses to operate right
beside an international runway, combining global mobility with seamless
workplace efficiency.

 

Joining the Global Airport-City Wave

 

The CIASL Business Centre aligns Kochi with
the growing global trend of “airport cities”, where aviation, commerce, and
innovation grow together. As India scales up aviation infrastructure and
related industries such as Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO), Kochi’s CIAL
Aeropark ecosystem is emerging as a powerful base with MRO hangars, business
aviation, aviation training academies and now premium workspaces, built to
support airlines, start-ups, engineers, executives and global business teams.

 

In a post-pandemic world where agility
matters, the centre redefines convenience: leaders can finish a board meeting
and catch a flight within minutes, reducing travel friction and speeding up
decision-making.

 

Built Green and Built to Scale

 

Echoing CIAL’s leadership in
renewable-energy-driven infrastructure, the business centre prioritizes
sustainability through energy-efficient design and green-minded operations.
With this launch, CIAL is not just expanding facilities, it is reshaping the role
of airports in India’s economy, turning Kochi from a gateway into an enterprise
magnet at the centre of the airport-city revolution.

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, India – February 20, 2026 : RecruitChamp, ATS division of Cirrologix Technologies with
Champions Accelerator  announced the
launch of India’s first AI-powered video interview engine built natively into
an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) at the AI India Summit 2026 held in New
Delhi. The announcement marks a significant advancement in India’s enterprise
HR technology ecosystem, positioning RecruitChamp at the forefront of AI-driven
talent acquisition.

Unlike standalone video interviewing tools or third-party
integrations, RecruitChamp’s AI video interview engine is deeply embedded
within the ATS, enabling enterprises to conduct, evaluate, and act on video
interviews within a single, unified hiring workflow.

The newly launched platform enables organizations to move from
resume-centric screening to structured, evidence-based hiring, using AI to
assess candidate responses, map competencies to roles, and accelerate
decision-making while maintaining enterprise-grade compliance and auditability.

Enterprise-Ready AI for Modern Hiring

RecruitChamp’s AI video interview engine is designed to support
large enterprises, global capability centers (GCCs), and high-growth
organizations that require speed, scale, and intelligence in hiring. Key
features include structured asynchronous video interviews, AI-assisted
evaluation, standardized scoring, and real-time hiring insights for recruiters
and hiring managers.

The platform also supports multi-location and remote hiring,
making it particularly relevant for organizations operating across India and
global markets.

Commenting on the launch, Ravikanth Guduru, CEO, Cirrologix,
said:

“Hiring has remained fragmented for far too long, with
interviews, assessments, and decision-making spread across disconnected
systems. By embedding AI-powered video interviewing directly into the ATS,
RecruitChamp is eliminating this fragmentation and enabling enterprises to make
faster, fairer, and more data-driven hiring decisions at scale. This is a
meaningful step forward for enterprise HR technology coming out of India.”

Sreedeep Surapaneni, CEO of Champions Accelerator, added:

“At Champions Accelerator, we back platforms like RecruitChamp
that create category shifts, not incremental improvements. RecruitChamp’s
AI-powered video interview engine fundamentally changes how enterprises
approach talent assessment by making intelligence native to the hiring
workflow. This launch aligns strongly with our vision of building globally
relevant, AI-first enterprise platforms from India. Also we are enabling reach
to 737 million business executives and passive candidates  which makes this a gold mine for recruiters
to get great candidates into the pipeline.”

Advancing the Talent Operating System Vision

The launch of the AI video interview engine is a key milestone
in RecruitChamp’s broader roadmap to evolve into a Salesforce-native Talent
Operating System, integrating hiring, workforce intelligence, partner
recruiting, and enterprise analytics on a single platform.

RecruitChamp plans to make the AI video interview engine
available across corporate hiring teams, executive search firms, permanent
placement partners, and recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) providers as part
of its ecosystem-led growth strategy. The AI-powered video interview engine is
now available for enterprise pilots and strategic deployments, with broader
rollouts planned through 2026.

About RecruitChamp &amp; Cirrologix Technologies 

RecruitChamp is an enterprise-grade Applicant Tracking and
Talent Intelligence platform designed for modern corporates, GCCs, and
recruitment ecosystems. By combining native ATS workflows with AI-driven
intelligence, RecruitChamp helps organizations hire faster, smarter, and at

<title>Brijesh Goel Research Led Leadership and Philanthropy Shaping a Broader Social Vision</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/brijesh-goel-research-led-leadership-and-philanthropy-shaping-a-broader-social-vision</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/brijesh-goel-research-led-leadership-and-philanthropy-shaping-a-broader-social-vision</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Brijesh Goel presents a
type of leadership, which transcends beyond success in career. His charity is
an activity founded on deliberate action, systematic research and engagement in
the community. Rather than social service being dispensed as a charity on an
occasional basis, he considers it a long-term need that requires a strategy,
empathy and frequent interaction.

Research Oriented and
Strategic giving

The style of approach
is one of the most essential elements in the philanthropic career of Brijesh
Goel as it is analytical and research-based. Being well grounded academically
and an engineer, he handles the social projects as diligently as he would
handle the technical ones. Being an organization advocate, he does not limit
his activity to financial contribution. He evaluates the requirements,
investigates the sources of funds and puts in a lot of research to help
institutions to get grants and long-term assets.

It is a systematic
procedure that will ensure that his support will make a quantifiable impact. He
emphasizes more on the ability of institutions and the long-term outcomes of
the issues by meeting the sustainability problems rather than the short-term
solution. His concept is simple yet powerful: successful philanthropy must be
transparent, responsible and strategized.

Inclusive Development
and Special Education

Brijesh Goel has had
one of the most substantial opportunities in special education. He has been
funding projects in India targeting the children with special needs in India
over the years. His works have helped to enhance education programs and
therapies services, as they directly work with the students and their families.

His work turned out to
be the most significant during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the majority of
educational establishments were in danger of being shut down. He played a great
role in helping to raise funds that would see it continue with therapy sessions
even in his absence. The funds also stood at the position to enable the
institutions to acquire important medical supplies such as masks and sanitizers
when the world was insecure. He was not only showing generosity but also
listening to the needs of the community because he was involved.

Work Experience
Community-Based

Besides the systematic
support and study, there is a personality like Brijesh Goel who is of the
opinion that he should be involved individually. He is a volunteer worker in
organizations that help the disabled adults and senior citizens in New York. He
visits him once a week, chats, and attempts to be together and this is how real
philanthropy is time and face-to-face.

He enhances dignity and
belongingness through the establishment of genuine relationships with older
adults and the adults people with disabilities. These interactions promote a
philosophy underlying that leadership must never fail to connect with human
beings at a human level.

Education
Reform and Broader Intellectual Influence

The social vision is
also informed by the fact that Brijesh Goel has broader interest in education
reform. He views knowledge as a social good since he is led by thinkers,
innovators, and engineers of any kind. He believes that education allows people
to be capable of changing their own circumstances and therefore empowerment of
the education systems makes the development of the society long lasting.

We can observe that his
philanthropic philosophy is also an intellectual responsibility, the idea of
professional knowledge and success is helpful and brings back to the larger
society.

Conclusion

Brijesh Goel is a
transformational leader who has a visionary approach to leadership, which is
research-based, empathetic, and long-term. His activities in the fields of
education, his work with the disabled, and his work with seniors demonstrate
that any philanthropic work requires a coherent and efficient approach.

As his involvement
continues, appropriate planning and genuinely human associations, he continues
to build a bigger societal influence plan, which is founded on accountability,
inclusiveness and purposeful transformation. ]]></description>

<title>Music Licensing Startup Hoopr Secures Funding from The Chennai Angels in its Pre&amp;Series A Round</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/music-licensing-startup-hoopr-secures-funding-from-the-chennai-angels-in-its-pre-series-a-round</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/music-licensing-startup-hoopr-secures-funding-from-the-chennai-angels-in-its-pre-series-a-round</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Hoopr,
India’s pioneering music licensing platform building a transparent and
sustainable ecosystem for artists and brands, has raised an undisclosed amount
from The Chennai Angels as part of its ongoing Pre-Series A round. The round
has already seen participation from Inflection Point Ventures and MeitY
(Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology). 

The
funds will be deployed to scale Hoopr’s twin-engine ecosystem - Hoopr,
which serves Youtube and Instagram creators with copyright-safe music for digital
videos, and Hoopr Smash, India’s first Bollywood music licensing
platform for brands and enterprises. The investment will also support
technology development, including Hoopr’s proprietary system for detecting
violations of copyrighted music and enabling transparent revenue sharing with
artists and labels. 

Hoopr
has emerged as the defining player in India’s digital music licensing space,
serving over 4 lakh creators - including marquee names like Flying Beast,
Ranveer Brar, Curly Tales and Mr. Indian Hacker - and 180+ brands such as
Marico, ITC, Himalaya, Myntra, and Rajasthan Royals. On the supply side, Hoopr
Smash has aggregated catalogues from over 21 leading Indian labels including
YRF and Universal Music Group, along with 3 international labels, making it the
single largest platform for licensing Bollywood and Indian music. 

In
a landmark move, Hoopr recently launched its Artist Accelerator programme in
partnership with Universal Music Group, creating original music and recreations
specifically for the rapidly growing sync licensing market. The platform has
also signed a deal with IPRS (Indian Performing Right Society) and forged a
partnership with Adobe, further strengthening its position at the intersection
of music, technology, and content creation. 

Hoopr’s
sync capabilities were recently showcased when it placed the title track in Saali
Mohabbat produced by Jio Studios - a milestone that signals the platform’s
growing role in film and advertising music placement. 



Commenting
on the fundraise, Gaurav Dagaonkar, CEO &amp; Co-founder of Hoopr, IIM
Ahmedabad alumnus and award-winning music director, said: “India’s
creator economy has seen a 4x growth in creators over the past four years, and
yet music licensing remains one of the most unregulated and opaque parts of
this ecosystem. With over 80,000 brands and 5 lakh creators producing branded
content on social media, we’relooking at a ₹1,500 Crore opportunity that nobody
else is addressing at scale. Hoopr is building the infrastructure for
transparent music licensing - ensuring that every creator gets access to great
music legally, every brand is protected, and every artist gets paid fairly.
We’re grateful to The Chennai Angels and our investor partners for backing this
vision and joining us in building India’s music licensing rails.” 

With
OTT platforms and digital advertising driving unprecedented demand for licensed
music in films, ads, and branded content, Hoopr is uniquely positioned to
capture this market. The platform’s technology stack -spanning discovery,
licensing, copyright detection, and artist revenue sharing - makes it the only
end-to-end solution in a space that has historically operated on handshake
deals and opaque terms. 

Investment
Director from The Chennai Angels, Srinivasan B
said: Gaurav is first and foremost a musician, a creator and a songwriter.
When he saw chinks in the value proposition of music publishing, especially
from the emerging creator/ social media marketplace, Hoopr was his answer. He
took the conservative approach of first ensuring Hoopr was entrusted with the
rights for his own music, as well as rights to some of India’s greatest music
library - as seed capital - thus ensuring a virtuous cycle of cash flows that
allowed for the innovations and experiments that Hoopr is focussed on. He then
has approached labels, creators as well as end-user Clients, many of whom now
adorn the platform, creating an even more robust stream of revenues. This
business is all about network effects. I am confident that with Gaurav, his
team, and the advisors he has on board, will make this dream a reality -
ensuring godspeed growth and handsome returns thereon!

most active Angel Investing groups. Founded in 2007, it is comprised of
successful entrepreneurs and business leaders with a track record of starting

across 80+ start-ups in India.

The platform has also signed a deal with IPRS (Indian Performing Right Society) and forged a partnership with Adobe, further strengthening its position at the intersection of music, technology, and content creation. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Hoopr’s sync capabilities were recently showcased when it placed the title track in <i>Saali Mohabbat</i> produced by Jio Studios - a milestone that signals the platform’s growing role in film and advertising music placement. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Commenting on the fundraise, <b>Gaurav Dagaonkar, CEO &amp; Co-founder of Hoopr, IIM Ahmedabad alumnus and award-winning music director</b>, said: <i>“India’s creator economy has seen a 4x growth in creators over the past four years, and yet music licensing remains one of the most unregulated and opaque parts of this ecosystem. With over 80,000 brands and 5 lakh creators producing branded content on social media, we’relooking at a ₹1,500 Crore opportunity that nobody else is addressing at scale. Hoopr is building the infrastructure for transparent music licensing - ensuring that every creator gets access to great music legally, every brand is protected, and every artist gets paid fairly. We’re grateful to The Chennai Angels and our investor partners for backing this vision and joining us in building India’s music licensing rails.”</i> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">With OTT platforms and digital advertising driving unprecedented demand for licensed music in films, ads, and branded content, Hoopr is uniquely positioned to capture this market. The platform’s technology stack -spanning discovery, licensing, copyright detection, and artist revenue sharing - makes it the only end-to-end solution in a space that has historically operated on handshake deals and opaque terms. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Investment Director from The Chennai Angels, Srinivasan B</span></b><span lang="EN"> said: <i>Gaurav is first and foremost a musician, a creator and a songwriter. When he saw chinks in the value proposition of music publishing, especially from the emerging creator/ social media marketplace, Hoopr was his answer. He took the conservative approach of first ensuring Hoopr was entrusted with the rights for his own music, as well as rights to some of India’s greatest music library - as seed capital - thus ensuring a virtuous cycle of cash flows that allowed for the innovations and experiments that Hoopr is focussed on. He then has approached labels, creators as well as end-user Clients, many of whom now adorn the platform, creating an even more robust stream of revenues. This business is all about network effects. I am confident that with Gaurav, his team, and the advisors he has on board, will make this dream a reality - ensuring godspeed growth and handsome returns thereon! </i></span></p>

<title>‘Get Thunai’ – A Smart Utility Support App Launched in Chennai to Simplify Bill Storage and Service Access</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Chennai,
February 20, 2026 : Get Thunai, meaning “Get the Right Support,”
a new consumer-centric utility support application, was formally launched today
at The Leela Palace Chennai.

The
app has been conceptualized and developed to address one of the most common
challenges faced by consumers — the loss or misplacement of purchase bills and
warranty documents at critical moments. In many instances, customers are unable
to claim warranty benefits or obtain timely service support due to the absence
of proper documentation.

Recognising
that a bill is an essential document for warranty claims and dispute
resolution, Get Thunai offers a structured digital solution to securely store
and instantly retrieve purchase-related information.

The
application enables users to upload and maintain product details including:

●       
Invoice Information

●       
Serial Numbers 

●       
Purchase Details &amp; Dates 

●       
Warranty Coverage Period, and 

●       
Supporting Images in centralized and easily
accessible platform. 

Built
on the principle of “One App. One Bill. One Trusted Service Partner,” Get
Thunai is designed for individuals, families, retail shops, service centres,
workshops, offices, and large enterprises to manage their product records
seamlessly. The platform ensures that users no longer face uncertainty or
inconvenience due to misplaced physical bills, thereby providing clarity and
peace of mind.

In
addition to digital bill storage, Get Thunai provides an integrated service
support mechanism. Users can raise complaints directly through the app,
following which structured assistance is initiated, including call-back
requests and connection to the appropriate service partner. A key feature of
the platform is its emphasis on assigning the right technician with the
relevant skill set and brand expertise to handle the specific product, thereby
minimizing the risk of improper service attendance that may otherwise lead to
further complications. The app also supports documentation and service
connectivity for automobiles, making it a comprehensive utility management
solution. To ensure operational clarity and avoid confusion, the ecosystem
comprises two distinct applications — a Customer App for users to manage their
products and service requests, and Partner App for authorized service partners,
verified service professionals, thereby ensuring structured coordination while
maintaining a strong customer-centric focus.

Get
Thunai offers subscription plans tailored to different categories of users.
Home users can avail a free plan supporting up to 10 products
or subscribe at ₹99 per year for up to 50 products. Retail shops and service
centres can opt for a ₹199 per year plan covering up to 200 products. Workshops
and small manufacturing units can subscribe at ₹499 per year for management of
up to 500 assets. Corporate and enterprise establishments, including offices,
hospitals, and educational institutions, can avail a ₹25,000 per year (minimum)
plan covering up to 5,000 assets. Service professionals can enroll under the
Technician plan at ₹1,199 per month, which includes customer leads and call masking
features. Across all plans, storage guidelines permit up to five images per
product or asset, with a maximum size of one megabyte per image, under a
replace-only image policy wherein older images are automatically deleted upon
update.



The
app was formally unveiled by Mr. Laxman Mannaji Rao, Managing Director and
Mrs.Sudha Laxman, Director of Peruvallatthan Thirumavalavan Global Solutions
Private Limited (PTGS), during the launch ceremony.

Addressing
the gathering, Laxman Mannaji Rao stated, “The genesis of Get Thunai lies in
my real-time experience as an authorized service partner for a leading consumer
durable brand. I witnessed numerous customers facing genuine hardship because
they were unable to produce their original purchase bills during warranty
claims. Many deserving cases encountered delays or rejection solely due to
documentation issues. This recurring concern motivated me to explore a
sustainable technological solution.”

He
further remarked, “After consulting with IT professionals, studying consumer
behaviour, and understanding systemic gaps in service processes, we developed
Get Thunai as a structured platform that assures customers of rightful support.
Our objective is to eliminate anxiety during critical service situations and
ensure that every consumer has organized, accessible, and reliable
documentation at their fingertips. Within the first year of operations, we aim
to onboard one lakh users onto the platform and also build a strong network of
5,000 verified technicians and service experts across regions, thereby
establishing a robust and responsive service ecosystem.”

Sudha
Laxman, Director expressed her enthusiasm at the launch and
stated, “Get Thunai is not merely a digital applic ]]></description>

<title>Preserving Tradition, Building Futures</title>

<description><![CDATA[ BMW India Foundation supports traditional Indian artisans’
journey to sustainable livelihoods.

Gurugram: BMW India Foundation is
advancing its commitment to inclusive and sustainable development by supporting
and upskilling traditional artisans across India. Guided by the vision to
preserve the authenticity of indigenous art forms while connecting artists to contemporary
resources and markets, the Foundation’s initiatives aim to enable sustainable
livelihoods and enhance upward social mobility for artisan communities.

Launched in 2025, the artisan empowerment programme addresses
long-standing challenges faced by traditional artists, including limited access
to structured skilling, contemporary design exposure, and organised market
platforms. Through partnerships with experienced implementation organisations,
BMW India Foundation is creating pathways that allow artisans to strengthen
their craft, respond to evolving consumer demand, and build resilient income
streams.



Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, President &amp; CEO, BMW Group India
said, “At BMW India Foundation, we deeply respect the incredible craftsmanship
and rich traditions of India’s artisans. For us, this is not just about
preserving beautiful art forms, it’s about supporting the talented people who
bring them to life. Many of these artisans face real challenges, from limited
access to new skills to difficulty reaching bigger marketplaces. We want to
help change that by giving them the tools, training, scope for experimentation
and opportunities they need to grow and sustain their livelihoods. Programs
like Project Chitravan and Project Phulkari are very close to our hearts. They
allow artisans to stay connected to their roots while exploring new ideas and
designs that appeal to modern customers.”

In central India, BMW India Foundation has partnered with the
Craft and Community Development Foundation (CCDF) to implement Project Chitravan,
supporting tribal artisans from Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, and
Maharashtra practising indigenous art forms such as Gond, Warli, Bhil, Baiga,
Sohrai, and Kohvar. Artists are selected based on craftsmanship, creative potential,
and economic need, and are provided structured mentorship and contemporary
design inputs to help them evolve creatively while retaining the authenticity
of traditional narratives and techniques. Around 40 tribal artisans across
central India are currently being nurtured under this initiative.

In Punjab, BMW India Foundation has joined hands with the Delhi
Crafts Council to strengthen and modernise the traditional craft of Phulkari
embroidery. The initiative focuses on skill enhancement, revival of authentic
techniques, and adoption of sustainable practices such as natural dyes and
responsible material usage. Artisans collaborate with textile designers to
co-create contemporary product lines, including stoles, apparel accents, home
décor items, and accessories, improving product relevance and market access.
Training in digital literacy and market readiness further enables artisans to
engage with buyers and participate confidently in emerging market platforms.
Around 30 artisans in Punjab are currently being supported under this
initiative.

BMW India Foundation

BMW India Foundation has been set up with the objective of
implementing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes on behalf of BMW
Group entities in India – BMW Group India, BMW India Financial Services and BMW
India Leasing. The Foundation carries forward existing community initiatives
and works to scale them up through long-term commitment and deep partnerships
with implementation organisations, creating sustainable and measurable social impact.

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Gurugram: </span></b><span lang="EN">BMW India Foundation is advancing its commitment to inclusive and sustainable development by supporting and upskilling traditional artisans across India. Guided by the vision to preserve the authenticity of indigenous art forms while connecting artists to contemporary resources and markets, the Foundation’s initiatives aim to enable sustainable livelihoods and enhance upward social mobility for artisan communities.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Launched in 2025, the artisan empowerment programme addresses long-standing challenges faced by traditional artists, including limited access to structured skilling, contemporary design exposure, and organised market platforms. Through partnerships with experienced implementation organisations, BMW India Foundation is creating pathways that allow artisans to strengthen their craft, respond to evolving consumer demand, and build resilient income streams.</span><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, President &amp; CEO, BMW Group India said, “At BMW India Foundation, we deeply respect the incredible craftsmanship and rich traditions of India’s artisans. For us, this is not just about preserving beautiful art forms, it’s about supporting the talented people who bring them to life. Many of these artisans face real challenges, from limited access to new skills to difficulty reaching bigger marketplaces. We want to help change that by giving them the tools, training, scope for experimentation and opportunities they need to grow and sustain their livelihoods. Programs like Project Chitravan and Project Phulkari are very close to our hearts. They allow artisans to stay connected to their roots while exploring new ideas and designs that appeal to modern customers.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In central India, BMW India Foundation has partnered with the Craft and Community Development Foundation (CCDF) to implement Project <i>Chitravan</i>, supporting tribal artisans from Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, and Maharashtra practising indigenous art forms such as Gond, Warli, Bhil, Baiga, Sohrai, and Kohvar. Artists are selected based on craftsmanship, creative potential, and economic need, and are provided structured mentorship and contemporary design inputs to help them evolve creatively while retaining the authenticity of traditional narratives and techniques. Around 40 tribal artisans across central India are currently being nurtured under this initiative.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In Punjab, BMW India Foundation has joined hands with the Delhi Crafts Council to strengthen and modernise the traditional craft of Phulkari embroidery. The initiative focuses on skill enhancement, revival of authentic techniques, and adoption of sustainable practices such as natural dyes and responsible material usage. Artisans collaborate with textile designers to co-create contemporary product lines, including stoles, apparel accents, home décor items, and accessories, improving product relevance and market access. Training in digital literacy and market readiness further enables artisans to engage with buyers and participate confidently in emerging market platforms. Around 30 artisans in Punjab are currently being supported under this initiative.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi : Emperium Group marked its presence at the
prestigious ET NOW Global Business Summit (GBS) 2026, reaffirming its
commitment to innovation-led growth and responsible expansion in an
increasingly technology-driven business environment.

Mr.
Ravi Saund, Founder, Emperium Group, represented the organisation at the summit
and participated in an exclusive Round Table Panel Discussion on “The Role of
AI &amp; Innovation in Today’s Business World.” The session convened industry
leaders to examine how artificial intelligence is actively reshaping
decision-making, customer engagement, governance models, and operational
efficiency across sectors.

The
summit, recognised as one of India’s most influential platforms for global
dialogue, featured distinguished leaders including Narendra Modi, Hon’ble Prime
Minister of India, and Piyush Goyal, alongside global CEOs and policymakers.
Conversations throughout the event underscored India’s expanding role in
driving innovation, digital transformation, and AI adoption at scale.

Addressing
the round table, Mr. Saund emphasised the need for businesses to embed AI
within their core systems rather than treating it as a peripheral upgrade.

“Artificial
Intelligence is no longer a future ambition, it is a present imperative. We
recognise the immense growth potential and enhanced customer ease that come
with responsible AI implementation. At Emperium Group, we are equally focused
on upskilling our employees, strengthening their learning curve, and empowering
them to tap into the limitless possibilities that AI offers. For us, AI is not
merely a technological upgrade, it is a strategic enabler that drives
efficiency, transparency, innovation, and long-term stakeholder value,” he
said.

In
line with this vision, Emperium Group has initiated structured integration of
AI across its strategic planning and operational systems. The organisation has
embedded AI-led learning across all departments, fully funding relevant courses
to foster continuous upskilling. Multiple AI frameworks have been incorporated
at the ERP level to strengthen automation, analytics, and process optimisation,
supported by a dedicated team of AI experts driving implementation across
business functions.

Mr.
Saund further highlighted that innovation must remain accountable and human-centric.

“Technology must
enhance trust, not replace it. Our focus remains on leveraging AI to build
smarter systems while preserving the human-centric ethos that defines our
brand. The true potential of innovation lies in its ability to empower people
and create measurable impact.”

Emperium
Group’s participation at the summit reflects its strategic intent to remain
future-ready while aligning technological advancement with governance,
transparency, and sustainable value creation for all stakeholders. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Gurugram,
February 20, 2026 : Liebherr Appliances India Pvt. Ltd, part of
the €14.6 billion Liebherr Group – the global leader in premium home
refrigeration renowned for its innovation and precision engineering, today
inaugurated its new Delhi Office Experience Centre in Gurugram, marking a
significant step in strengthening the brand’s presence in North India and
deepening engagement with architects, designers, and high-end consumers. The
launch was followed by meet and greet with dealers, architects, interior
designers and media interaction with a guided walkthrough of the newly unveiled
space.

Designed
as an immersive showcase of Liebherr’s engineering excellence and German
engineering, the experience centre offers visitors a closer look at the brand’s
premium Fully Integrated (FI) range, which reflects the growing demand for
seamless, design-led kitchen environments.

Commenting
on the launch, Kapil Agarwal, Managing Director – Sales, Liebherr Appliances

expression of what we call invisible luxury. It’s where engineering blends
seamlessly with design, allowing the appliance to elevate the space rather than

appreciate the significance of seamlessly integrated refrigeration.

represents the brand’s vision of invisible luxury—where refrigeration
blends seamlessly into cabinetry, preserving the purity of the kitchen’s
aesthetic.

Part
of the global Liebherr Group, Liebherr Appliances India continues to expand its
footprint in the premium refrigeration segment by combining German engineering
expertise with solutions tailored to Indian climatic conditions and usage
patterns. With local manufacturing capabilities and an expanding product
portfolio, the company is focused on delivering high-performance,
design-forward refrigeration solutions for evolving Indian homes. Supporting
this expansion is Liebherr Appliances’ state-of-the-art manufacturing facility
in Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, where the brand began producing it’s
made-in-India Fully Integrated refrigerator range in 2025 — optimised for
Indian climatic conditions and enabling faster availability and service
support. Since its launch in India in June 2025, the Fully Integrated range has
seen strong market response, with growing consumer demand driven by the rising
preference for seamless, design-led kitchen environments in premium homes.

The
new Delhi Office Experience Centre in Gurugram will serve as a key hub for
engagement with the design community and consumers, offering a space to
experience Liebherr’s integrated cooling solutions firsthand while reinforcing
the brand’s long-term commitment to the Indian market.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
February 20, 2026 : Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate (SPRE), one of
India’s most trusted real estate developers, has announced the launch of Oyster,
a premium residential project within its expansive 4.8-acre development,
Northern Lights, located on the prime Pokhran Road 2 in Thane.

Strategically
positioned in one of Thane’s most established and rapidly evolving
neighbourhoods, Oyster benefits from strong connectivity to key business
districts, social infrastructure, and lifestyle hubs. Oyster will comprise 283
units of thoughtfully planned 2- and 3-bed residences, ranging in size from 564
square feet to 1004 square feet (RERA carpet area).

Starting
at INR 1.56 crore, Oyster offers intelligently planned homes with expansive
layouts, ample natural light, cross-ventilation, and elegant finishes. Each
residence opens up to captivating views of the city skyline as well as the
serene nearby hills, bringing together the energy of urban life and the calm of
nature. Designed to strike a balance between privacy and community living, the development
is complemented by landscaped open spaces and a curated range of lifestyle
amenities, including wellness and fitness zones, recreational facilities, and

within Thane, continues to drive heightened residential traction. The upcoming
Mumbai Metro Line 4 is expected to significantly reduce commute time to key
employment zones across Mumbai and Thane. Social infrastructure, including
reputed schools, healthcare facilities, retail centres, and recreational hubs,
further strengthens the locality’s residential appeal.

wellness-orientated facilities form a key part of the project’s design
philosophy, reflecting evolving homebuyer preferences for holistic living
environments.

With
a strong emphasis on design efficiency, natural light, and optimal spatial

where steady capital appreciation and sustained end-user interest continue to
support residential growth.

<description><![CDATA[ NEW
DELHI, FEBRUARY 20, 2026  : ABB India announced its highest
fourth-quarter order intake in the last five years, with a remarkable 52% surge
in orders for the fourth quarter (October-December), which reached INR 4,096
crore. This strong quarterly performance contributed to a record-high order
intake of INR 14,115 crore for the full year 2025, an 8% increase
year-over-year, signaling strong momentum and a robust demand environment.

This
impressive growth was driven by a strong development in the base business,
complemented by the timely booking of significant large orders from key growth
sectors. During the quarter, the company saw high demand from data centers,
automotive, buildings and infrastructure, railways, and metals industries. This
surge has resulted in a record order backlog of INR 10,471 crore as of December
31, 2025, a 12% increase from the previous year. This substantial backlog
provides excellent revenue visibility and a solid foundation for growth in the
coming periods.

“2025
was a year of steady progress for ABB India, underscored by the proud milestone
of completing 75 years of manufacturing in the country. As we step into 2026,
our record order book and highest-ever revenues reflect the strength of our
disciplined execution and the resilience of our teams. In the fourth quarter,
we continued to ramp up orders and revenues despite margin pressures from
volatile input costs. Our diversified portfolio and technology driven solutions
allow us to navigate varied sectoral cycles with confidence, reinforcing the
robustness of our business model. Customers rely on ABB for our innovation
leadership, trusted partnerships, and an integrated ecosystem built over
decades. Sustainability remains central to everything we do, and we continue to
advance meaningful improvements across our operations, supply chain, and
customer engagements. With strong leadership across divisions and a clear focus
on agility, we remain committed to driving sustainable growth and long-term
value for all stakeholders in the year ahead,&quot; said Sanjeev Sharma, Managing
Director, ABB India. 

Alongside
the exceptional order growth, ABB India reported its highest-ever revenue of
INR 13,203 crore for the full year, an 8% increase compared to 2024. All
business areas contributed to the revenue growth during the quarter. While the
company successfully navigated margin pressures from volatile input costs and
increased labor expenses, its disciplined execution and focus on
technology-driven solutions have solidified its market position.

Looking
ahead to 2026, ABB India is well-positioned to capitalize on sustained
investments in infrastructure, grid modernization, renewables, and
digitalization. The company&#039;s strong presence across 23 market segments aligns
with continued capital expenditure expected in chemicals, pharmaceuticals,
automotive, and water, reinforcing its long-term growth outlook.

Reflecting
its solid performance and confidence in the future, the Board has recommended a
final dividend of INR 29.59 per share. The company also advanced its
sustainability goals, with ESG initiatives now covering 51% of its suppliers
and achieving significant milestones in water stewardship and waste reduction. ]]></description>

<title>Inside Vidyasvam’s Structured Approach to Learning Samskrita</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/inside-vidyasvams-structured-approach-to-learning-samskrita</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/inside-vidyasvams-structured-approach-to-learning-samskrita</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India], February 19 : Samskrita has long been regarded as a language of depth, precision, and intellectual beauty. Yet for many learners today, the thought of studying it can feel overwhelming. Complex grammar rules, unfamiliar script, and traditional learning styles often create hesitation. At the same time, there is a growing desire among professionals, students, and knowledge seekers to understand classical texts in their original form rather than depend solely on translations. What many learners look for is a clear and structured path—one that respects the rigor of the language while making it approachable.Vidyasvam has built its teaching philosophy around this very need. Its approach to learning Samskrita combines the classical strength of the Pāṇinian grammatical framework with structured teaching methods suited to modern learners. The result is a program that emphasizes understanding, clarity, and practical application rather than memorization. By focusing on foundations and logical progression, Vidyasvam offers a way to learn Samskrita that feels both disciplined and accessible.A Foundation Rooted in the Pāṇinian SystemAt the heart of Vidyasvam’s methodology lies the Pāṇinian grammatical tradition. Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī is widely recognized for presenting one of the most systematic frameworks for any natural language. Rather than approaching Samskrita as a collection of isolated rules and vocabulary lists, Vidyasvam organizes learning around the underlying principles that hold the language together.Students are introduced to core elements such as varṇa, prakṛti, pratyaya, sandhi, and kāraka theory in a logical sequence. Each concept builds upon the previous one, enabling learners to see how words are formed, how forms change according to grammatical rules, and how meaning emerges from structure. This systematic framework reduces confusion and replaces guesswork with clarity.Instead of memorizing lengthy tables without context, learners understand why certain forms exist and how they are derived. This approach strengthens comprehension and lays the foundation for independent study later on.Building Strong Grammar Before Textual ReadingOne of the distinguishing aspects of Vidyasvam’s program is its emphasis on grammar before textual exploration. While many learners are eager to begin reading verses immediately, Vidyasvam ensures that a solid grammatical base is established first. This preparation allows students to approach texts with confidence rather than uncertainty.By mastering structural concepts early, learners develop the ability to analyze sentences methodically. They begin to identify roots, understand suffixes, dissolve sandhis, and recognize grammatical relationships within a verse. When textual reading begins, students are no longer intimidated because they possess the tools required for proper interpretation.This step-by-step progression prevents learners from feeling lost midway through their journey. Instead, they experience a steady build-up of competence.Integrating Modern Teaching ToolsAlthough rooted in tradition, Vidyasvam uses contemporary teaching tools to support understanding. Presentations, diagrams, mind maps, and structured learning materials are used to break down complex concepts into manageable sections. Visual aids play an important role in helping learners see connections between rules.For online participants, recordings of sessions provide flexibility and the opportunity for revision. Learners can revisit challenging topics and reinforce their understanding at their own pace. Regular quizzes encourage active learning and ensure that grammar rules are applied rather than passively absorbed.Interactive sessions further enhance engagement. Learners are encouraged to ask questions, discuss interpretations, and clarify doubts in a supportive environment. This balance between traditional content and modern delivery methods helps maintain clarity throughout the program.Emphasis on Application Through Classical TextsLearning grammar in isolation can feel abstract. Vidyasvam addresses this by integrating application into the course design. Once foundational knowledge has been established, students begin applying concepts to classical texts, especially selections from Vālmīki’s Rāmāyaṇa.Through guided analysis, learners practice breaking down compound words, identifying kārakas, dissolving sandhis, and arranging words in anvaya to grasp meaning correctly. This practical application deepens understanding and reveals how grammar operates in real literary contexts.The experience of analyzing a verse independently builds confidence. Students move beyond translating word by word and begin understanding structure and intent. This transition marks a significant turning point in their learning journey.Designed for Modern LearnersVidyasvam’s structured approach is particularly well-suited to professionals and students from analytical backgrounds. Many participants come from fiel ]]></description>

What many learners look for is a clear and structured path—one that respects the rigor of the language while making it approachable.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.vidyasvam.in/"><span>Vidyasvam </span></a><span>has built its teaching philosophy around this very need. Its approach to learning Samskrita combines the classical strength of the Pāṇinian grammatical framework with structured teaching methods suited to modern learners. The result is a program that emphasizes understanding, clarity, and practical application rather than memorization. By focusing on foundations and logical progression, Vidyasvam offers a way to learn Samskrita that feels both disciplined and accessible.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>A Foundation Rooted in the Pāṇinian System</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>At the heart of </span><a href="https://www.vidyasvam.in/"><span>Vidyasvam’s </span></a><span>methodology lies the Pāṇinian grammatical tradition. Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī is widely recognized for presenting one of the most systematic frameworks for any natural language. Rather than approaching Samskrita as a collection of isolated rules and vocabulary lists, Vidyasvam organizes learning around the underlying principles that hold the language together.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Students are introduced to core elements such as varṇa, prakṛti, pratyaya, sandhi, and kāraka theory in a logical sequence. Each concept builds upon the previous one, enabling learners to see how words are formed, how forms change according to grammatical rules, and how meaning emerges from structure. This systematic framework reduces confusion and replaces guesswork with clarity.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Instead of memorizing lengthy tables without context, learners understand why certain forms exist and how they are derived. This approach strengthens comprehension and lays the foundation for independent study later on.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Building Strong Grammar Before Textual Reading</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>One of the distinguishing aspects of Vidyasvam’s program is its emphasis on grammar before textual exploration. While many learners are eager to begin reading verses immediately, Vidyasvam ensures that a solid grammatical base is established first. This preparation allows students to approach texts with confidence rather than uncertainty.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>By mastering structural concepts early, learners develop the ability to analyze sentences methodically. They begin to identify roots, understand suffixes, dissolve sandhis, and recognize grammatical relationships within a verse. When textual reading begins, students are no longer intimidated because they possess the tools required for proper interpretation.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>This step-by-step progression prevents learners from feeling lost midway through their journey. Instead, they experience a steady build-up of competence.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Integrating Modern Teaching Tools</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Although rooted in tradition, Vidyasvam uses contemporary teaching tools to support understanding. Presentations, diagrams, mind maps, and structured learning materials are used to break down complex concepts into manageable sections. Visual aids play an important role in helping learners see connections between rules.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>For online participants, recordings of sessions provide flexibility and the opportunity for revision. Learners can revisit challenging topics and reinforce their understanding at their own pace. Regular quizzes encourage active learning and ensure that grammar rules are applied rather than passively absorbed.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Interactive sessions further enhance engagement. Learners are encouraged to ask questions, discuss interpretations, and clarify doubts in a supportive environment. This balance between traditional content and modern delivery methods helps maintain clarity throughout the program.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Emphasis on Application Through Classical Texts</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Learning grammar in isolation can feel abstract. Vidyasvam addresses this by integrating application into the course design. Once foundational knowledge has been established, students begin applying concepts to classical texts, especially selections from Vālmīki’s Rāmāyaṇa.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Through guided analysis, learners practice breaking down compound words, identifying kārakas, dissolving sandhis, and arranging words in anvaya to grasp meaning correctly. This practical application deepens understanding and reveals how grammar operates in real literary contexts.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The experience of analyzing a verse independently builds confidence. Students move beyond translating word by word and begin understanding structure and intent. This transition marks a significant turning point in their learning journey.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Designed for Modern Learners</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Vidyasvam’s structured approach is particularly well-suited to professionals and students from analytical backgrounds. Many participants come from fields such as engineering, sciences, medicine, academia, and management. The logic-based structure of Pāṇinian grammar resonates strongly with those accustomed to systematic thinking.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>At the same time, the course remains accessible to dedicated beginners. Participants are expected to read Devanagari, possess basic English proficiency, and approach learning with commitment and regular practice. The program encourages discipline but does not assume prior mastery.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Because sessions are organized in a consistent weekly format, learners can balance the course alongside professional and personal responsibilities. This practicality makes sustained learning possible.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Mentoring and Peer Engagement</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Beyond formal instruction, Vidyasvam emphasizes mentoring and peer interaction. Discussion groups allow learners to exchange perspectives and clarify understanding collectively. Often, explaining a concept to another student reinforces one’s own comprehension.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Mentors guide learners through difficult sections, offering steady support. This shared journey reduces isolation and builds a community of learners who are collectively invested in the study of Samskrita.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Such an environment encourages persistence. Learning a classical language demands patience, and the presence of mentors and peers helps sustain motivation.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Guidance from an Interdisciplinary Scholar</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The program is led by Dr. Sridhar Subbanna, whose academic journey spans computer science and Samskrita scholarship. His doctoral research explores parallels between Pāṇini’s grammatical system and modern computational ideas. This interdisciplinary perspective shapes his structured teaching methodology.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>His explanations are grounded in logic and clarity, reflecting both traditional training and contemporary understanding. Students often find that his systematic approach demystifies complex sutras and makes them approachable.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>This balance of traditional depth and analytical clarity supports learners throughout the course.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Progressive Skill Development</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Vidyasvam’s structured progression ensures that learning does not remain theoretical. Students move from understanding basic grammatical units to performing detailed textual analysis. Each stage builds toward the larger goal of independent reading.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Gradually, learners begin recognizing patterns intuitively. Grammar no longer appears as a maze of rules but as a coherent structure. As confidence increases, the language feels less intimidating and more accessible.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>By the end of the program, students are better equipped to pursue advanced Samskrita studies or explore classical literature on their own.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Conclusion</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Inside Vidyasvam’s structured approach to learning Samskrita lies a careful balance between tradition and clarity. The program respects the rigor of Pāṇinian grammar while organizing content in a way that modern learners can absorb steadily. By combining foundational training, guided application, modern tools, and mentoring support, Vidyasvam creates a learning pathway that is disciplined yet approachable.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>For those who wish to move beyond surface familiarity and engage deeply with Samskrita, a structured method can make all the difference. Vidyasvam’s approach demonstrates that with clarity, consistency, and logical progression, learning this classical language can be both meaningful and achievable.</span></p>]]> </content:encoded>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/shodh-ai-launches-indias-first-generative-ai-model-for-material-science-in-collaboration-with-nvidia</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ NEW DELHI : Shodh AI, selected as one of the twelve foundational model companies
under the Government of India’s prestigious IndiaAI Mission, today
announced the launch of Project Skanda. As an &quot;AI for Science&quot;
company currently targeting material discovery, Shodh AI developed this model
in collaboration with NVIDIA to mark India&#039;s entry into the global race for Physical
AI.

At the India AI Impact
Summit, Shodh AI unveiled the Alpha Release of Project Skanda—one of the
world’s first Mesoscale Foundation Models for Energy Storage. While traditional
AI models focus on atomic chemistry, Skanda targets the
&quot;Mesoscale&quot;—the invisible structural architecture inside a battery
cell that determines its life, safety, and charging speed. The model is trained
specifically for battery clients to drastically accelerate their discovery
process.

According to Dr. Arastu
Sharma, CEO of Shodh AI, Project Skanda leverages NVIDIA Hopper GPUs and the
PhysicsNeMo framework to bridge the gap between theory and manufacturing.

“Currently, you can
upload an SEM image into the model, and it will predict the battery life cycle.
Within a year, we aim to enable users to simply ask for a new battery
chemistry, and Skanda will provide the methodology to make it,” said Dr.
Arastu. “Right now, it takes our clients nearly ten years and millions of
dollars to develop a new material. Our goal is to compress that timeline to six
months for a new material, all within a million dollars.”





Tim Costa, General
Manager at NVIDIA, highlighted the significance of the collaboration, stating,
“AI is accelerating the pace of scientific discovery. Shodh AI’s use of NVIDIA
technology provides a powerful foundation for building sovereign AI models that
can help transform India’s energy and technology sectors.”

By combining
cutting-edge artificial intelligence with robotic automation, Shodh AI is
positioning itself as a key player in India’s journey toward becoming a global
scientific leader.

At the heart of this
initiative is a vision shared by the Prime Minister—that India should not only
use technology developed elsewhere but create its own. “Our interaction with
the Hon’ble Prime Minister reinforced a clear vision: India must not just
consume technology, but create it,” said Dr. Arastu. He noted that Project
Skanda represents a strategic shift toward “Invent in India.” Shodh AI has been
given a broader mandate to build the ‘scientific brain’ of the nation, earning
direct recognition from Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for its leadership in
developing India’s foundational technologies.

Shodh AI is now
shifting the focus from Large Language Models to Large Science Models. Powered
by its collaboration with NVIDIA, the same core technology is poised to
redefine healthcare and biotechnology. In deep tech and material sciences,
Shodh AI is bridging the gap between theory and reality through India’s first
Autonomous Robotic Material Foundry, where AI not only predicts next-generation
quantum materials and bio-compatible implants but autonomously synthesizes
them.

This
marks a strategic transition from “Make in India” to “Invent in India,”
ensuring that the nation does not merely participate in the future of
technology, but actively builds it. Shodh AI stands as a testament to this
vision: built in India, built for the world for the next AI race of science. ]]></description>

It’s about empowering them with technology, visibility, and systems, while giving customers a better experience,” said Rakesh Mishra.A Marketplace Model That WorksUnlike traditional laundry brands that open and operate their own outlets, Easy Spin follows a marketplace business model.

<description><![CDATA[  A strategic alliance dedicated to elite
sporting excellence and the physical well-being of Indian youth through the
power of football.

Mumbai,
19 February 2026 : Matix, promoted by Nishant Kanodia, today
announced its Associate Partnership with Mumbai City FC for the ISL 2025 to
26 season. The partnership marks a strategic alignment between two
organisations committed to performance, discipline, and long-term value
creation. As part of this association, the Matix brand will feature as the
Jersey Pendant on the first team’s matchday kits, along with prominent
visibility at the NMSA training facility and the Mumbai Football Arena. The collaboration
is designed to leverage the scale and professionalism of India’s premier
football platform to inspire sporting ambition, healthy lifestyles, and
a performance-oriented mindset among young Indians.

The
Indian Super League operates under the governance structure of the All India
Football Federation (AIFF). It is the top-tier football tournament in India. As
such, corporate partnerships play a strategic role in strengthening high
performance environments and expanding the sport’s national footprint.

Nishant
Kanodia, Chairman of Matix Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited,
said: “Football represents excellence, discipline, and national
aspiration. Supporting a professional club like Mumbai City FC reflects our
belief that elite sport has the power to inspire millions of young Indians to
pursue fitness, teamwork, and resilience. This partnership is about aligning
with a performance driven institution and contributing to the broader growth of
Indian football.”

India’s
long term football ambition extends beyond domestic success. As Indian clubs
gain greater exposure in continental competitions, the next phase of progress
lies in elevating Indian talent to compete consistently at the highest
international levels. 

Kandarp
Chandra, CEO of Mumbai City FC, added: “We are pleased to
welcome Matix into our partner ecosystem. Their long-term orientation and
belief in performance excellence align with our ambition to consistently
compete at the highest level and strengthen Indian football’s global standing.”

Matix
views this partnership as aligned with the broader national aspiration of
seeing Indian players strengthen their presence in global qualification
pathways, including those that lead toward Olympic participation and future
FIFA World Cup campaigns. While such milestones require sustained institutional
effort across stakeholders, investment in elite professional platforms remains
a critical building block in enhancing India’s global competitiveness in
football.

Through
this collaboration, Matix and Mumbai City FC will engage fans and communities
through structured digital content, matchday activations, and initiatives that
promote physical fitness and responsible sporting culture. The focus is on
reinforcing sport as a catalyst for ambition, well-being, and national pride.

Together,
Matix and Mumbai City FC aim to contribute to a more performance driven,
aspirational, and globally competitive football ecosystem in India.

<title>Franklin Templeton and Binance Advance Strategic Collaboration with Institutional Off&amp;Exchange Collateral Program</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Institutions
can now use Benji-issued tokenized money market funds as off-exchange
collateral to trade on Binance using Ceffu’s custody layer.

Mumbai, India, February
18, 2026 :  Franklin Templeton,
a global investment leader and Binance,
the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and users, today
announced a new institutional off-exchange collateral program, making digital
markets more secure and capital-efficient. Now live, eligible clients can use
tokenized money market fund shares issued through Franklin Templeton’s Benji
Technology Platform as off-exchange collateral when trading on Binance.

The program alleviates
a long-standing pain point for institutional traders by allowing them to use
traditional regulated, yield-bearing money market fund assets in digital
markets without parking those assets on an exchange. Instead, the value of
Benji-issued fund shares is mirrored within Binance’s trading environment,
while the tokenized assets themselves remain securely held off-exchange in
regulated custody. This reduces counterparty risk, letting institutional
participants earn yield and support their trading activity without hedging on
custody, liquidity, or regulatory protections.

“Since partnering in
2025, our work with Binance has focused on making digital finance actually work
for institutions,” said Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets
at Franklin Templeton. “Our off-exchange collateral program is just
that: letting clients easily put their assets to work in regulated custody
while safely earning yield in new ways. That’s the future Benji was designed
for, and working with partners like Binance allows us to deliver it at scale.”

“Partnering with
Franklin Templeton to offer tokenized real-world assets for off-exchange
collateral settlement is a natural next step in our mission to bring digital
assets and traditional finance closer together,” said
Catherine Chen, Head of VIP &amp; Institutional at Binance. “Innovating
ways to use traditional financial instruments on-chain opens up new
opportunities for investors and shows just how blockchain technology can make
markets more efficient.”

Assets participating in
the program remain held off-exchange in a regulated custody environment, with
tokenized money market fund shares pledged as collateral for trading on
Binance. Custody and settlement infrastructure is supported by Ceffu, Binance’s
institutional crypto-native custody partner.

“Institutions increasingly
require trading models that prioritize risk management without sacrificing
capital efficiency,” said Ian Loh, CEO of Ceffu. “This
program demonstrates how off-exchange collateral can support institutional
participation in digital markets while maintaining strong custody and control.”

Launching the
institutional off-exchange collateral program expands on both Franklin
Templeton’s and Binance’s growing networks of off-exchange program partners and
represents another effort since announcing Franklin Templeton and Binance’s
strategic collaboration in September 2025.

By using Benji to
bridge tokenized money market funds, Franklin Templeton is taking trusted
investment products and making them work in modern markets—allowing
institutions to trade, manage risk, and move capital more efficiently as
digital finance becomes an everyday part of the financial system.

Offering more tokenized
real-world assets on Binance meets the increasing institutional demand for
stable, yield-bearing collateral that can settle 24/7. This gives investors
greater choice and enhances their trading experience on the world’s largest
regulated digital asset exchange.

Templeton is a pioneer in digital asset investing and blockchain innovation,
combining tokenomics research, data science, and technical expertise to deliver
cutting-edge solutions since 2018. Learn more at Franklin Templeton Digital Assets.

<title>HR in the Age of AI: Why IIM Lucknow Believes Leadership Matters More Than Algorithms</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/hr-in-the-age-of-ai-why-iim-lucknow-believes-leadership-matters-more-than-algorithms</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 19th February, 2026 : In
recent years, organisations have poured vast resources into HR technology;
cloud-based HRMS platforms, AI-powered recruiting tools, predictive dashboards
and automated performance systems. In fact, 87 % of organisations plan to
increase their HR technology investments in 2025 (Source: Deloitte
Global Human Capital Trends Report) as they seek efficiency and competitive
advantage.

Today,
HR teams increasingly deploy analytics to inform workforce decisions. According
to analysis cited by Deloitte and Gartner, data-driven HR practices are
associated with a 56 % improvement in employee engagement and a 27 %
reduction in turnover rates. Yet McKinsey reports that while many Chief HR
Officers recognise the potential of analytics, less than half of
organisations truly operate with a data-driven HR culture. This paradox
points to a deeper challenge: organisations often have access to more data than
ever before, but few HR leaders have the skills to interpret that data, connect
it to strategic priorities and shape decisions that drive culture and
performance.

This
is where structured leadership development becomes strategic. The Advanced
Programme in Human Resource Management (APHRM) from IIM Lucknow is designed
around this very problem. Rather than merely teaching HR technology, it enables
HR leaders to interpret data, shape culture and lead organisational change
in technology-enabled environments. 

Unlike
short technical courses, this 10-month blended programme equips mid- to
senior-level HR professionals with a deep, integrated understanding of:

●     
HR Analytics and AI in HR:
Using data thoughtfully to support talent acquisition, performance management
and workforce planning. 

●     
Transformational Leadership Development:
Learning how to inspire, influence and guide teams through uncertainty. 

●     
Organisation Design and Change Management:
Understanding how companies restructure and realign people through strategic
transitions. 

●     
Digital Transformation and Cultural
Stewardship: Applying strategic frameworks to balance
human and machine capabilities. 

Participants
engage in live online sessions, real-world case studies and a three-day campus
immersion that bridges theory with practice. By the end of the programme, they emerge not just
as users of HR technology, but as strategic interpreters of data capable of 

-
Anchoring HR strategy to business outcomes and future workforce needs.

-Converting
people data into strategic, leadership-level decisions.

-
Deploying AI and automation in HR with ethical and human oversight.

-
Building resilient, future-ready talent and leadership pipelines.

-
Leading organisational change with confidence and cultural clarity.

-
Strengthening executive influence and cross-functional HR effectiveness.

The
Future Is Human-Led

In
an era where data and digital tools are table stakes, the organisations that
thrive will not be defined by the software they deploy, but by the leaders
who can turn insight into impact. As HR functions evolve from operational
support to strategic growth drivers, the most valuable differentiator will be
people who can navigate complexity with clarity, leaders who can harness
technology, but whose judgment, empathy and strategic acumen create real
organisational advantage. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India], February 18: From studying under streetlights in Secunderabad to becoming the CEO of Orchestro AI, Shekhar Natarajan’s life story has inspiring, to say the least. His trajectory has been a rare blend of corporate mastery and purpose-driven reinvention, starting with his journey in America with $34 in his pocket.He had grown up in South Central India, in a one-room house in Secunderabad where his family lived without electricity. He studied under street lights because there was no other way to read at night. His mother bound newspapers to earn a few rupees; when he needed money for education, she pawned her wedding ring for 30 rupees.That sacrifice — a mother&#039;s wedding ring traded for a son&#039;s future — shaped everything that followed.&quot;Real wealth is not money,&quot; Natarajan says. &quot;Real wealth is wisdom. My mother understood that. She gave up her most precious possession so I could learn. That&#039;s not optimization — that&#039;s love.&quot;The Corporate AscentFrom those beginnings, Natarajan built one of the most remarkable careers in American business. He earned degrees from Georgia Tech, MIT, Harvard Business School, and IESE. He spent 25 years in Fortune 500 leadership at companies including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Walmart, Target, Disney, and American Eagle.At Walmart, he grew the grocery business from $30 million to $5 billion. He pioneered crowdsourced delivery systems that transformed how products reach consumers. At Disney, he helped create the MagicBand experience that millions of visitors now take for granted. Along the way, he accumulated over 207 patents.He was, by any measure, a master optimizer — someone who understood how to squeeze efficiency from complex systems, how to make supply chains faster and cheaper, how to scale operations across continents.And then he looked at what optimization had wrought.The Reckoning&quot;I spent decades making systems more efficient,&quot; Natarajan reflects. &quot;Faster. Cheaper. More scalable. And I was good at it. But efficiency without ethics is just sophisticated cruelty.&quot;He saw delivery workers pushed to dangerous speeds by algorithms he could have designed. He saw loan collection systems that automated harassment with techniques he could have invented. He saw welfare systems that deleted hungry children from databases with the same dispassion they&#039;d delete duplicate records.The skills he had spent a lifetime developing were being used to harm people. Not by villains — by systems. By algorithms optimizing for metrics that didn&#039;t include human dignity.&quot;The people building these systems aren&#039;t evil,&quot; he says. &quot;They&#039;re optimizing for the metrics they&#039;re given. The problem is that the metrics don&#039;t include compassion. They don&#039;t include dignity. They don&#039;t include the child asking her mother for rice.&quot;The Morning PracticeEvery morning at 4 AM, Natarajan practices classical Indian painting.It is both artistic expression and problem-solving methodology. The discipline of the brush, the patience of the stroke, the attention to detail — these are not separate from his work on AI. They are preparation for it.&quot;Building technology with love, not speed, over thousand-year timeframes&quot; — this is how he describes his philosophy. It sounds impractical until you realize what the alternative has produced.Move fast and break things. Santoshi Kumari was broken.Disrupt everything. Bhupendra Vishwakarma&#039;s family was disrupted.Scale at all costs. The cost was paid by gig workers dying on the roads.&quot;We&#039;ve tried building technology fast,&quot; Natarajan says. &quot;Now let&#039;s try building it right.&quot;The Wedding RingNatarajan still thinks about his mother&#039;s wedding ring.&quot;She didn&#039;t optimize,&quot; he says. &quot;She sacrificed. She gave up something precious so something more precious could grow. That&#039;s what love does. That&#039;s what the best technology should do — not extract value, but create space for human flourishing.&quot;Angelic Intelligence is, in some ways, an attempt to encode that mother&#039;s love into computational systems. To build AI that asks, before every action: Does this help people flourish? Does this create space for dignity? Does this honor the sacrifice of those who came before?It&#039;s an audacious project. It may be an impossible one.But someone has to try.&quot;I came from nothing,&quot; Natarajan says. &quot;I studied under street lights. I know what it means to be invisible to systems. And I know that the child asking for rice in Jharkhand is not a deletion error. She&#039;s a human being. If our technology can&#039;t see that, our technology is broken.&quot;He pauses.&quot;My mother pawned her wedding ring so I could have a future. I&#039;m trying to build AI that honors that sacrifice — AI that sees every human being as worthy of that kind of love.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A data-driven analysis revealing patterns that challenge everything we thought we knew about viral contentNew Delhi [India], February 18 : Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, explains what views and engagements actually mean in this opinion piece.The headline number—800 million views—is impressive but imprecise. Views mean different things on different platforms. Engagement quality varies wildly. A three-second scroll-past on TikTok and a ten-minute YouTube deep-dive both count as &#039;views,&#039; though they represent fundamentally different forms of attention.A detailed analysis of the engagement patterns tells a more nuanced—and in many ways more remarkable—story about how Angelic Intelligence actually spread and what the spread reveals about public appetite for substantive AI discourse.Platform breakdown reveals unexpected distributions that defy typical patterns for both philosophical content and viral phenomena. LinkedIn contributed approximately 180 million impressions despite its smaller user base relative to consumer platforms—a concentration suggesting highly targeted professional interest. The engagement came disproportionately from senior executives, supply chain professionals, and enterprise technology leaders, demographics that rarely drive viral metrics.❝ The numbers told us something the algorithms couldn&#039;t: people weren&#039;t just watching. They were studying. ❞YouTube&#039;s 220 million views came with average watch times exceeding 8 minutes for long-form content—extraordinary for philosophical material on a platform where average watch time for educational content hovers around 3 minutes. More significantly, the completion rates for videos over 20 minutes exceeded those for videos under 5 minutes, inverting the typical pattern where shorter content performs better.&quot;The data made no sense by our standard models. Longer videos performing better than shorter ones? Philosophical content outperforming entertainment? We ran quality checks three times because the numbers looked like errors. They weren&#039;t.&quot; — a data analyst at a digital media company who has studied the phenomenonTwitter/X&#039;s 150 million impressions showed engagement rates 7x the platform average for similar content categories. But more telling was the nature of engagement: quote tweets exceeded replies by a factor of four, indicating users weren&#039;t just responding to the content—they were adding their own commentary and broadcasting to their own networks. The framework became a vessel for personal expression.Geographic distribution contradicts typical viral patterns. North America and Western Europe, usually dominant in tech content consumption, represented only 35% of total engagement. South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America contributed the majority—regions that rarely lead global technology discourse but that have experienced AI&#039;s impacts most directly.&quot;The engagement heat map looked nothing like typical tech content. It didn&#039;t cluster around San Francisco and New York and London. It spread from places where AI optimization had already changed daily life—where people understood viscerally what the current approach costs.&quot; — a social listening analyst at a major research firm❝ Viral content dies. Movements grow. The metrics couldn&#039;t tell the difference until they could. ❞Temporal patterns proved equally unusual and equally revealing. Most viral content follows predictable decay curves: rapid rise during initial spread, brief plateau as the audience saturates, exponential decline as attention moves to newer content. The half-life of viral content has shortened dramatically over the past decade; what once sustained attention for weeks now fades within days.Angelic Intelligence showed sustained growth over 18 months, with recent months showing acceleration rather than decay. The six-month period ending in January 2026 saw 10x growth compared to the preceding six months. The curve resembles adoption patterns for products or social movements rather than engagement patterns for content.Engagement quality metrics—saves, shares, comments, and time spent—consistently outperformed view counts by industry benchmarks. The ratio of saves to views was 4x the platform average, indicating users wanted to return to the content rather than simply consume it once. The ratio of shares to views was 7x average, indicating active propagation rather than passive consumption.&quot;Every quality metric overperformed the quantity metrics. That almost never happens. Usually viral content is thin—high views, low engagement. This was the opposite. The views were just the beginning of the engagement.&quot; — a social media executive who has analyzed the dataThe demographic data challenges assumptions about who cares about AI ethics and who engages with technology philosophy.

<description><![CDATA[  New Delhi, February 2026: The capital witnessed an electrifying blend of faith and festivity as Via Veda hosted a grand Maha Shivratri Bhajan Jamming Night at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. What began with the serene notes of the Ganga Aarti soon transformed into a high-energy devotional concert, drawing thousands of attendees across age groups.The evening seamlessly merged traditional chants with immersive soundscapes, creating what organisers called a “bhajan clubbing” experience. As chants of “Om Namah Shivaya” echoed under the open sky, the crowd swayed in unison, turning the stadium into a sea of raised hands and glowing phone lights.Performers Suhas Sawant and Gajendra Pratap Singh took centre stage with powerful renditions of “Jai Mahakaal,” “Kailash Mein Niwasi,” and “Dulha Bane Hai Baba,” keeping the energy soaring through the night.

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/intellion-futsal-league-season-5-unites-100-corporate-teams-across-cities</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Chennai,
India, 18th February 2026: The
fifth edition of the Intellion Futsal League (IFL Season 5) successfully
concluded at Chennai’s Intellion Park - reaffirming the league’s
evolution from a competitive corporate futsal tournament into a multi-city,
purpose-led corporate sports platform. What began four seasons ago with 12
teams in a single city has today grown into a league featuring over 100 corporate
teams across Intellion offices by Tata Realty in Gurgaon and Chennai, building
a strong identity anchored in participation, pride, and community.

Designed
to scale with intent, the Intellion Futsal League has expanded each season,
strengthening matchday experiences, deepening engagement, and embedding social
and environmental responsibility into its core framework. Season 5 demonstrated
how corporate sports can go beyond competition to create meaningful and
measurable impact.

Season
5 recorded a 50% increase in participation compared to Season IV. Citi
emerged as champions in the men’s category, while Taj Wellington Mews
clinched the title in the women’s category. Over the season, 124 matches
were played and 365 goals were scored, translating into 36 football
kits committed for contribution in Chennai. 

Commenting
on the league’s growth and purpose, Mr. Ritesh Sachdev, Senior Vice
President and Head of Leasing and Asset Management, Tata Realty and
Infrastructure Ltd., said:
“The Intellion Futsal League has evolved into much more than a sporting
event. It reflects how we approach community-building across our
assets—bringing people together through shared experiences while being mindful
of our social and environmental responsibilities. Season 5 reinforces our
belief that sports can be a powerful platform for inclusion, engagement, and
positive impact.”

Anchored
in the philosophy of ‘Play for Good,’ Season 5 integrated purpose both
on and off the field. The league featured both men’s and women’s teams,
reinforcing inclusivity in corporate sports. Extending its community outreach,
football kits were pledged for donation for every 10 goals scored during the
season. 

 In line with Intellion’s long-standing
ESG-driven approach to responsible real estate, the league was designed to
minimise its environmental impact. Jerseys and shorts worn during the league
were made from recycled PET bottles, sustainable fabric branding replaced
plastic flex across venues, and single-use plastic was reduced through
shared hydration stations. Matches were powered using green gensets, while
digital-first initiatives such as paperless certificates and a centralised
digital photo library helped minimise material waste.

Beyond
trophies and scorelines, Intellion Futsal League Season 5 reinforced its core
objective, using sports as a catalyst to promote well-being, strengthen
professional networks, and create positive social and environmental outcomes.
As the league continues to grow across cities, its legacy is increasingly
defined not just by competition, but by the impact it delivers beyond the
field.

<title>Tata Power Turns Rooftop Solar into an Emotional Proposition with ‘Yeh On Toh Quality Lifelong’</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/tata-power-turns-rooftop-solar-into-an-emotional-proposition-with-yeh-on-toh-quality-lifelong</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
February 18th 2026 : Breaking away from the
category’s conventional focus on savings, subsidies and system specs, Tata
Power, in partnership with Rediffusion, has launched an emotion-driven brand
campaign for Tata Power Solaroof titled “Yeh On Toh Quality Lifelong.”
The campaign positions rooftop solar not just as a utility purchase but as a
long-term commitment grounded in trust, permanence and the assurance of the
Tata name. 

The
campaign film was conceptualised by Rediffusion, who crafted both the strategic
foundation and the creative expression. Led by Pramod Sharma, National Creative
Director, Rediffusion, the team brought to life a narrative that elevates
rooftop solar into a meaningful, emotionally charged decision for Indian
homeowners.

Film
Link- https://youtu.be/5XAdwIRe8qU

At
the heart of the narrative lies a deeply Indian truth: our homes—and the
decisions that shape them—are made for life. If relationships, responsibilities
and trust endure across generations, then the energy system powering the home
should too.

With
this perspective, the campaign reframes rooftop solar from an engineering
choice to an emotional one, inviting families to see it as a lifelong asset
that safeguards both their home and their future. Underpinned by strong proof
points—25-year module warranty, 3.5 lakh+ installations, 4.4 GW+ rooftop
capacity, and up to 80% savings on electricity bills—the campaign strikes a
balance between emotional resonance and credibility.

The
message becomes especially relevant as India fast-tracks decentralized
renewable adoption, supported by the Government of India’s PM Surya Ghar: Muft
Bijli Yojana, which aims to solarize one crore households. Tata Power’s
campaign reinforces the brand’s role as a trusted partner in this national
movement toward clean energy.

In
a crowded renewable energy marketplace, “Yeh On Toh Quality Lifelong”
distinguishes Tata Power Solaroof as more than a power solution—it becomes a
promise of longevity, rooted in quality and backed by the legacy of Tata. ]]></description>

<title>From a Slum to an Office Near the Burj Khalifa… A Story of Determination</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai didn’t welcome him with open arms; it welcomed
him with struggles. He worked as a waiter in hotels, as a laborer, and even
drove trucks. Days were filled with hard work, and nights ended in
exhaustion—that was his routine.


By the age of sixteen or seventeen, he learned AC maintenance service. At
eighteen, he opened a small shop, but luck still wasn’t on his side.

 

Then he dreamed of going to Dubai. He gave many
interviews and faced rejection every time. But one day, fortune finally
smiled—he got a job. The condition was simple: he needed ₹60,000.
His family didn’t have the money. His parents borrowed from neighbors and sold
their jewelry so their son could leave for Dubai.

 

In Dubai, he started working for a salary of 1,000
dirhams. Within two to three months, he repaid his mother’s debt and got her
jewelry back.


But life was still far from easy. He worked from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., lived in a
small room with fourteen people, and stood in line at 4 a.m. just to use the
bathroom.

 

In the middle of all this struggle, one dream kept him
alive—bodybuilding. For a year and a half, he worked hard on his physique and
prepared for competitions. But fate didn’t support him, and the lockdown was
announced, putting his dream on hold.

 

After two and a half years, in 2021, he returned home
with the biggest happiness of his life. He bought the same house where his
family once lived on rent, and he also purchased a piece of land.

 

Proud of his achievement, he went back to Dubai and
shared the news with his boss. But fate turned again—his boss had replaced him
with someone else.


He had only twenty days left on his visa, a loan on his head, and no job.

 

But he refused to give up. He kept searching for work,
and one day he got a contract to handle maintenance for 38 air conditioners.


From 7 a.m. to 1 a.m., he worked alone and completed all the repairs.


When he received his first cheque of 4,200 dirhams, his happiness knew no
bounds.

That very night, he saw an old, broken Honda Civic on
Facebook—and bought it.


It wasn’t just a car; it was his first victory.

 

Back home, he had the responsibility of eight siblings.
There were days when he didn’t have money to eat. He survived on flattened
rice, snacks, and water, and many nights he slept hungry.

 

That’s when he made a decision—no more jobs; he would
start his own business.
He borrowed ₹1 lakh from friends, bought four washing machines, and started a
laundry service.

 

After some time, the land he had purchased was sold.
With that money, he obtained an expensive license in Dubai, got a company owner
visa, and stepped into the real estate business.
But he never left the laundry and maintenance work—because that was the work
that stood by him when he had nothing.

 

He still distributed pamphlets for his AC maintenance
service himself… and slowly built three businesses—
property leasing, property buying and selling, and technical laundry and
maintenance services.

Today, that same boy has his office in Dubai’s Business
Bay, near the Burj Khalifa.


The boy who once traveled hiding in a train bathroom now runs his business in
the shadow of the world’s tallest building.

 

This isn’t just the story of one man…
It’s a story of courage, hunger, dreams—
and the determination that can turn a slum boy into a success story.

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, India | February 18, 2026 : Carosa, a unified pre-owned automobile solutions
platform, today announced the official launch of the full version
of its Web and Mobile App, marking a major milestone in its mission to
build a transparent, technology-driven, and customer-centric ecosystem for
pre-owned car buyers and sellers in India.

Launched on January 22, 2026,
the Carosa platform is designed to simplify the complete pre-owned car
ownership journey by integrating buying and selling of pre-owned cars,
inspections and evaluations, financing, insurance, verification services, and
post-purchase support into one seamless digital experience.

Pre-Launch Traction Demonstrates Strong
Market Validation

Prior to its official launch, Carosa
operated in a pre-launch phase and demonstrated strong early
traction. The platform onboarded 100+ verified dealers,
featured 1,000+ active pre-owned car listings, and recorded 5,000+
monthly website visitors, with steady month-on-month growth.

During this period, pre-owned cars
worth ₹85 crore+ in total listed GMV were listed on the platform,
reflecting growing confidence and trust from both dealers and buyers.

MotoRepo: Independent In-House
Inspection and PDI Platform

A core component of the Carosa platform
is MotoRepo, the company’s independently developed,
in-house pre-owned car inspection and evaluation application. MotoRepo
powers standardized vehicle inspections, detailed condition reports,
car evaluations, and Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDI), ensuring unbiased,
transparent, and data-driven assessments across all pre-owned car transactions
on the platform.

By owning and operating its inspection
technology, Carosa ensures consistency, credibility, and quality control across
inspection outcomes.

Carosa Care: Integrated Ownership &amp;
Post-Purchase Services

Carosa Care is
an integrated service layer within the Carosa platform, designed to
support customers throughout the pre-owned car ownership lifecycle. The
offering includes pre-owned car insurance, extended warranties,
roadside assistance, vehicle verification, RTO-related services, and essential
car care utilities, providing continued support well beyond the point of
purchase.

Gaadi ki Gup-Shup: Automobile-Centric
Content Within the Platform

Gaadi ki Gup-Shup is Carosa’s automobile-centric content and creator
ecosystem, built as an integral part of the Carosa platform. It focuses
on pre-owned car information, expert and user-led reviews, explainers,
ownership insights, and market intelligence, helping consumers make
informed and confident decisions before purchasing a pre-owned car.

Leadership Commentary

Commenting on the launch, Akram
Ali, Co-Founder of Carosa, said,

“Carosa was built to eliminate opacity and
mistrust in pre-owned car transactions. By integrating MotoRepo for independent
inspections, Carosa Care for complete ownership support, and Gaadi ki Gup-Shup
for consumer education directly into the platform, we are creating a truly
end-to-end pre-owned automobile ecosystem. The strong response during our
pre-launch phase validates our approach and vision.”

Growth Outlook

Following the launch on January 22, 2026,
Carosa expects to achieve a 2× increase across all key performance
metrics every month, including dealer onboarding, active listings, platform
traffic, and GMV in the pre-owned car segment, as it accelerates
nationwide expansion.

With a strong focus on technology,
transparency, and trust, Carosa aims to redefine how pre-owned cars are
bought, sold, and owned in India. ]]></description>

<title>More Than Content: Nakli Yash Mehta — A Young Creator Building Trust Through Storytelling</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/more-than-content-nakli-yash-mehta-a-young-creator-building-trust-through-storytelling</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/more-than-content-nakli-yash-mehta-a-young-creator-building-trust-through-storytelling</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a service where gaining attention is a simple goal
but trust takes years to be acquired, Nakli
Yash Mehta is patiently and intentionally doing so. His movement is
not motivated by shortcuts and show. It is designed by a true affection to
narration and a silent wish to place significant imprints on his work.

 

Some people chase fame. Yash has never been averse to
seeking a story. His relationship with cinema started out as a curiosity and
gradually became a calling. There was no pleasure in films for him. They were sentimental
templates. He wanted to know how some scenes stay in memory, how just a few
seconds of an advertisement can be felt personally, and how stories remain
heard even after the screen goes down.

 

Cinema Not a Career Choice, but a Calling

 

Most people would watch movies at ease, but Yash
decided to analyse them. He consumed himself with the art of storytelling, and
he learnt the language of framing, pacing, screenplay structure, and the little
details that can make simple stories evocative experiences.

 

To develop his interest, he studied at Whistling Woods
International, one of the most esteemed film schools in India. There, he
achieved discipline and creativity, and got to know what it is really like to
bring ideas into professional performance. Desiring to take a strategic
approach to art, he subsequently pursued an MBA in Esports Management. This
brought a good sense of the digital ecosystem, audience psychology, and
performance-driven content to his creative instincts. The result is a rare balance.
He takes every project as a narrator and strategist.

 

Building From the Ground Up

 

It is never easy to enter Bollywood without any
contacts. The way Yash went was made gradually. He began with low-level jobs,
scriptwriting, work with production crews, and helping with screenplay
research, learning the ropes from more experienced professionals at the
location. Every job, however small, was a classroom. And every hindrance made
him determined.

 

As time went on, consistency became more vocal. The
reward came after work, not vice versa.

 

Professionalism with Established Brands

 

Another major segment of his work is in large
advertising campaigns viewed by millions of people. He has experience with
brands such as Dettol, Mia by Tanishq, Reliance Digital, AstroTalk, Carsales,
Vivo, and Flipkart Lifestyle.

 

Advertising entails emotional clarity, and within
rigid time constraints. It involves knowing the voice of a brand and reaching
audiences in real-time. These campaigns helped Yash sharpen his ability to balance
creativity with commercial accountability by producing such short, very
powerful stories.

 

Outside Advertising, A Storyteller at Heart

 

Although advertising made him precise, short films
gave him the freedom to be creative. He has directed and created several short
films of various genres, delving into the depths of narratives and new
narration methods. His achievements as a production force behind
high-engagement YouTube content, including Nick and Carrie, also demonstrate
his ability to connect with younger audiences through relatable storytelling.
In all forms he touches, there is one thing he believes in. Story always comes
first.

 

The Name That Gathers Interestedness

 

Nakli is
a name that makes one want to know about it. It is prominent in a competitive
creative environment. However, behind the unusual identity lies a very real
path forged by discipline, persistence, and gradual development. Rather than
the fusion, he has adopted the principle of individuality and has made his work
his reputation.

 

A Vision That Reaches Out To Success

 

To Yash, success cannot just be recognized. His
greater goal is to be a storyteller whose narrations make people think and
feel. He perceives storytelling as a duty. The stories shape opinions, create
relationships, and have an impact on culture that lasts longer than fads.

 

A Journey Still Unfolding

 

His journey, starting in his Whistling Woods
International training up to his high-profile advertising and digital stories,
is a new breed of creators developing credibility by means of skill and
perseverance. The name can be interpreted as imitation. Its commitment,
artistry and influence are all genuine.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">In a service where gaining attention is a simple goal but trust takes years to be acquired, <a href="https://linktr.ee/nakliyashmehta?utm_source=linktree_admin_share">Nakli Yash Mehta</a> is patiently and intentionally doing so. His movement is not motivated by shortcuts and show. It is designed by a true affection to narration and a silent wish to place significant imprints on his work.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Some people chase fame. Yash has never been averse to seeking a story. His relationship with cinema started out as a curiosity and gradually became a calling. There was no pleasure in films for him. They were sentimental templates. He wanted to know how some scenes stay in memory, how just a few seconds of an advertisement can be felt personally, and how stories remain heard even after the screen goes down.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"> </span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">Cinema Not a Career Choice, but a Calling</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Most people would watch movies at ease, but Yash decided to analyse them. He consumed himself with the art of storytelling, and he learnt the language of framing, pacing, screenplay structure, and the little details that can make simple stories evocative experiences.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">To develop his interest, he studied at Whistling Woods International, one of the most esteemed film schools in India. There, he achieved discipline and creativity, and got to know what it is really like to bring ideas into professional performance. Desiring to take a strategic approach to art, he subsequently pursued an MBA in Esports Management. This brought a good sense of the digital ecosystem, audience psychology, and performance-driven content to his creative instincts. The result is a rare balance. He takes every project as a narrator and strategist.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">It is never easy to enter Bollywood without any contacts. The way Yash went was made gradually. He began with low-level jobs, scriptwriting, work with production crews, and helping with screenplay research, learning the ropes from more experienced professionals at the location. Every job, however small, was a classroom. And every hindrance made him determined.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Another major segment of his work is in large advertising campaigns viewed by millions of people. He has experience with brands such as Dettol, Mia by Tanishq, Reliance Digital, AstroTalk, Carsales, Vivo, and Flipkart Lifestyle.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Advertising entails emotional clarity, and within rigid time constraints. It involves knowing the voice of a brand and reaching audiences in real-time. These campaigns helped Yash sharpen his ability to balance creativity with commercial accountability by producing such short, very powerful stories.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Although advertising made him precise, short films gave him the freedom to be creative. He has directed and created several short films of various genres, delving into the depths of narratives and new narration methods. His achievements as a production force behind high-engagement YouTube content, including Nick and Carrie, also demonstrate his ability to connect with younger audiences through relatable storytelling. In all forms he touches, there is one thing he believes in. Story always comes first.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Gurugram,
India, February 18, 2026 : Midland Credit Management (MCM), an Encore
Capital Group Company, in India has been recognized by Great Place To Work®
India among the Top 50 Best Workplaces in IT &amp; IT-BPM for 2025. This
prestigious honor reflects the collective commitment of our teams to building a
workplace that inspires trust, collaboration, and growth.

Great
Place To Work®, a global authority on workplace culture, has studied employee
experience and people practices for over three decades. Each year, over 100
million employees across 150 countries participate in its survey to benchmark
and strengthen workplace culture. In India, 100 organizations have been
recognized among the Best Workplaces in IT &amp; IT-BPM 2025. These companies
stand out for crafting strong people practices and acting on employee feedback
to build a high-trust culture.

“India’s
tech industry is steadily transitioning from a traditional IT services model to
a more innovation-driven approach. While AI and deep tech are gaining traction,
the shift is gradual and shaped by practical factors like talent upskilling,
cost optimization, and regulatory frameworks. Our study found that employees
are 89% more likely to be excited to use AI when they are given meaningful
opportunities for innovation. The Innovation Velocity Ratio (IVR) of the IT
Sector for this year indicates that for every two employees who lack innovation
opportunities, eight are ready to innovate. Despite the increasing competition
and challenges in AI adoption, the rise of IVR demonstrates that our talent is
prepared for the next wave of technological disruption. I sincerely
congratulate all the winners of India&#039;s Best Workplaces in IT &amp; IT-BPM
2025, who are elevating the standard of global IT excellence.” said Balbir
Singh, CEO, Great Place To Work® India.

Encore’s
distinction as one of the Top 50 Best Workplaces in IT &amp; IT-BPM in India is
rooted in its strategic commitment to fostering a high-trust, inclusive, and
growth-oriented culture. The organization prioritizes employee well-being, open
and transparent communication, and leadership development that empowers talent.
By consistently recognizing merit, encouraging continuous feedback, and
embracing technological progress, the company cultivates an environment where
collaboration, innovation, and professional growth are at the forefront. This
approach not only strengthens organizational pride and trust but also positions
Encore as an employer of choice in the IT &amp; IT-BPM space in India.

Jaison
Thomas, Managing Director – India, Midland Credit Management, an Encore Capital
Group company, shared, “At Encore, we believe exceptional
workplaces are built on trust, inclusion, and care for people. This recognition
by Great Place To Work® reflects the collective commitment of our colleagues to
creating an environment where individuals feel valued, empowered, and able to
thrive. Our culture is defined by transparency, pay-for-performance, holistic
well-being, and a continuous commitment to listening and learning. This focus
has enabled us to earn consistent recognition as an employer of choice,

&amp; IT BPM. Since 2005, our India team has grown into a strategic capability

<title>JoyNCrew Reinforces Its Leadership in Japan Tourism with Peak Sakura 2026 Departures</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/joyncrew-reinforces-its-leadership-in-japan-tourism-with-peak-sakura-2026-departures</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
18 February 2026 : JoyNCrew (JNC), India’s premium group tour
operator, has announced its exclusive Sakura 2026 departures, curated to
coincide with the spectacular full bloom of cherry blossoms during the last
week of March. The announcement also marks the company’s third anniversary, a
milestone that reflects its growing position as India’s preferred specialist
for Japan travel.

Over
the past three years, JoyNCrew has built strong institutional relationships
within Japan’s tourism ecosystem, including close collaboration with the Japan
National Tourism Organization (JNTO), and preferred partnerships with All
Nippon Airways (ANA). These relationships enable the company to offer
seamless planning, priority access, and a depth of on-ground coordination that
distinguishes its Japan itineraries from conventional group tours.

JoyNCrew
is among the few operators in India facilitating convenient direct connectivity
to Japan through nonstop options from Delhi and Mumbai with ANA, and
from Bengaluru with Japan Airlines. This direct access significantly
enhances traveller comfort while ensuring a well-paced and premium experience
from departure through return.

The
Sakura 2026 itineraries have been carefully designed around Japan’s peak
bloom window, allowing travellers to witness cherry blossoms in their most
vibrant phase across Tokyo. In light of recent international coverage around
access restrictions in specific Mount Fuji viewing zones to manage overtourism,
JoyNCrew clarified that such developments are highly location-specific and do
not affect its curated routes. The company’s departures remain aligned with
prime viewing corridors and city-based sakura landmarks that offer
uninterrupted access during full bloom.



The
tours include immersive experiences across Tokyo’s iconic cherry blossom
avenues such as Chidorigafuchi, cultural explorations at Senso-ji,
and visits to Hiroshima’s historic Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island,
where successive cherry varieties extend the bloom experience. A big highlight
is the Kyoto Botanical Gardens, home to more than 450 cherry blossom
trees that bloom beautifully in spring, while the leaves of deciduous trees
such as maple color exquisitely in autumn. At other times of the year, lush
greenery, vibrant tulips, and a wide variety of trees and flowers can be
enjoyed. The Gardens serve as a living museum of plants, offering opportunities
for both education and relaxation. Carefully selected four-star
accommodations, Indian dining options including Jain meals, and
thoughtfully paced group sizes ensure both comfort and authenticity.

Speaking
about the packages, Ranjan Murthy, Strategic Co-Founder, JoyNCrew, said,
“Over the last three years, we have focused on becoming India’s most trusted
specialist for Japan travel by building deep partnerships with stakeholders
such as JNTO and preferred carriers like ANA. There have been recent reports
about certain localized cherry blossom festival cancellations in specific areas
due to administrative and crowd-management considerations. However, these are
location-specific developments and do not impact our Tokyo-centered
itineraries. Our departures are aligned with confirmed peak bloom windows and
established sakura viewing corridors, ensuring travellers experience Japan at
its most breathtaking. When it comes to Japan tourism, JoyNCrew is designed to
be the priority choice.”

The announcement also marks the company’s third anniversary, a milestone that reflects its growing position as India’s preferred specialist for Japan travel.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Over the past three years, JoyNCrew has built strong institutional relationships within Japan’s tourism ecosystem, including close collaboration with the <b>Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO</b>), and preferred partnerships with <b>All Nippon Airways (ANA</b>). These relationships enable the company to offer seamless planning, priority access, and a depth of on-ground coordination that distinguishes its Japan itineraries from conventional group tours.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">JoyNCrew is among the few operators in India facilitating convenient direct connectivity to Japan through <b>nonstop options from Delhi and Mumbai with ANA</b>, and<b> from Bengaluru with Japan Airlines</b>. This direct access significantly enhances traveller comfort while ensuring a well-paced and premium experience from departure through return.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The Sakura 2026 itineraries have been carefully designed around Japan’s <b>peak bloom window</b>, allowing travellers to witness cherry blossoms in their most vibrant phase across Tokyo. In light of recent international coverage around access restrictions in specific Mount Fuji viewing zones to manage overtourism, JoyNCrew clarified that such developments are highly location-specific and do not affect its curated routes. The company’s departures remain aligned with prime viewing corridors and city-based sakura landmarks that offer uninterrupted access during full bloom.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; line-height: normal;"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The tours include immersive experiences across Tokyo’s iconic cherry blossom avenues such as <b>Chidorigafuchi</b>, cultural explorations at <b>Senso-ji</b>, and visits to Hiroshima’s historic <b>Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima Island</b>, where successive cherry varieties extend the bloom experience. A big highlight is the <b>Kyoto Botanical Gardens</b>, home to more than 450 cherry blossom trees that bloom beautifully in spring, while the leaves of deciduous trees such as maple color exquisitely in autumn. At other times of the year, lush greenery,<b> </b>vibrant tulips, and a wide variety of trees and flowers can be enjoyed. The Gardens serve as a living museum of plants, offering opportunities for both education and relaxation. <b>Carefully selected four-star accommodations</b>, Indian dining options including Jain meals, and thoughtfully paced group sizes ensure both comfort and authenticity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Speaking about the packages,<b> Ranjan Murthy, Strategic Co-Founder, JoyNCrew,</b> said, “Over the last three years, we have focused on becoming India’s most trusted specialist for Japan travel by building deep partnerships with stakeholders such as JNTO and preferred carriers like ANA. There have been recent reports about certain localized cherry blossom festival cancellations in specific areas due to administrative and crowd-management considerations. However, these are location-specific developments and do not impact our Tokyo-centered itineraries. Our departures are aligned with confirmed peak bloom windows and established sakura viewing corridors, ensuring travellers experience Japan at its most breathtaking. When it comes to Japan tourism, JoyNCrew is designed to be the priority choice.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Jaipur, 18th February 2026 : Genus Power (NSE:
GENUSPOWER| BSE: 530343) India’s leading end-to-end
energy measurement solutions provider has achieved a significant milestone in
India’s smart metering journey by deploying 1 crore smart meters under Revamped
Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) across
major DISCOMs as a leading AMISP. This
milestone spans installations across nine states, reflecting Genus’s
robust pan-India execution capability and its critical role in advancing
large-scale DISCOM reforms.

The company has recently added a new integrated manufacturing
facility at Kotputli along with Jaipur, Haridwar, Guwahati to
strengthen its manufacturing capabilities, and continues to enable India’s grid
modernization and digital energy transformation. 

Reinforcing its execution prowess is Genus’s world-class
manufacturing and R&amp;D capability, which churns out high-quality and trusted
smart meters. This conviction is reflected in the deployment of another 1.5
crore smart meters manufactured by Genus, through various other AMISPs and
Utility partners who rely on Genus’ robust production capacity, stringent
testing standards, dependable supply chain, and proven meter performance. 

With a total of 2.5 crore Genus’s smart meters operational
across India, out of nearly 5.62 crore
deployed nationally; the company has cemented its leadership position as the
country’s most trusted and capable smart metering technology provider. This
feat is powered by Genus’s integrated strengths across design, manufacturing,
communication technologies, execution, and long-term system reliability. This
unparalleled scale of deployment is transforming consumer experience by
ensuring greater billing accuracy, enhanced transparency, faster grievance
resolution, and real-time consumption visibility which empowers households and
businesses to effectively manage energy utilization. 

Commenting on the landmark milestone, Mr. Jitendra Kumar
Agarwal, Joint Managing Director, Genus Power, said, “Crossing the 1
crore smart meter mark is a defining moment not just for Genus Power, but for
India’s power distribution transformation. RDSS represents largest smart
metering rollouts globally, and this milestone reflects the sector’s clear
shift toward system resilience and execution at scale. This journey has been
built on conviction, faith in the reform, and confidence in India’s domestic
manufacturing capabilities. India’s power reforms now demand the right
power-tech infrastructure, and Genus is on war-footing to support utilities as
this transformation moves into its most critical phase.” 

As smart meter penetration deepens, Genus is creating a strong
digital backbone for India’s power infrastructure- enabling better grid
planning, efficient peak-demand management, loss reduction, and integration of
renewable energy at an unmatched scale. Under RDSS, India aims to replace 25
crore conventional meters with smart meters by 2028, and Genus Power has
emerged as a trusted and reliable partner to enable India’s National Smart Grid
Mission. 

Genus is also expanding its global footprint across Africa, the
Middle East, Southeast Asia, Pacific and SAARC markets. Backed by strong
hardware capabilities and a 300+ member software team, Genus delivers
end-to-end digital and metering solutions, positioning itself as a trusted
partner for utilities globally.

<description><![CDATA[ Haridwar,
Representative : The world’s largest 5,210-kilogram Parad
(Mercury) Dhyan Lingam was ceremonially installed in Haridwar on the auspicious
occasion of Mahashivratri. This grand Parad Shivling was created by
Girnar-based Dhyan Guru Raghunath Yemul Guruji after years of spiritual
practice, research, and tireless dedication. Owing to its massive weight of
5,210 kilograms and unique dimensions, the Parad Dhyan Lingam has been honored

commitment to exploring science within spirituality, he led the creation of
this Parad Dhyan Lingam based on the Nath Yogi tradition and the principles of

<title>Guilty Until Proven Innocent &amp; Facial Recognition&amp;apos;s False Accusations</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/guilty-until-proven-innocent-facial-recognitions-false-accusations</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/guilty-until-proven-innocent-facial-recognitions-false-accusations</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  New Delhi [India], February 15 : Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO
of Orchestro.AI, explains how the misuse of facial recognition software impacts
narratives in this opinion piece.

Umar Khalid has spent more than five years in prison. His trial has not yet
meaningfully begun.

He was arrested in September 2020 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention)
Act — India&#039;s harshest anti-terror law — accused of conspiring to incite the
communal violence that swept parts of Delhi in February 2020. The riots left 53
people dead, most of them Muslims, and took place amid massive protests against
a controversial citizenship law.

The evidence against him? Speeches he gave at peaceful protests. WhatsApp
group chats. And facial recognition matches that placed him — or someone who
looked like him — at various locations.

On January 5, 2026, India&#039;s Supreme Court denied Khalid bail, ruling that he
played a &quot;central and formative role&quot; in the alleged conspiracy. Five
other accused in the same case were granted bail, having spent years in jail
without trial. But Khalid and fellow activist Sharjeel Imam were told they
could reapply after one year.

One more year. After five already served.

&quot;We can be kept in jail for years, without those framing us needing
to prove anything,&quot; Khalid wrote from Tihar Jail on completing two years
of detention. &quot;This is the power of UAPA.&quot;

The 2%
Problem

The technology that helped identify Khalid and hundreds of others has a
documented accuracy problem that should disqualify it from any serious
evidentiary role.

In 2018, Delhi Police testified to the Delhi High Court that their facial
recognition system had an accuracy rate of just 2% when trying to trace missing
children. The system was so poor that officials admitted it often couldn&#039;t
distinguish between boys and girls.

Two percent.

Yet this same technology was deployed aggressively after the 2020 riots.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah told Parliament that 1,922 perpetrators —
comprising 73.3% of those arrested — had been identified through facial
recognition technology.

The results have been devastating for the accused — and embarrassing for the
prosecution. More than 80% of riot cases heard so far have resulted in
acquittals or discharges. The facial recognition matches that seemed so
definitive have crumbled under scrutiny. Witnesses have turned hostile.
Evidence has fallen apart.

But the years in jail cannot be given back.

The
Investigation

An investigation by The Wire and the Pulitzer Center found that many riot
accused were arrested &quot;solely on the basis of facial recognition,&quot;
without solid corroborating evidence or credible public witness accounts.

Mohammad Shahid: Spent 17 months in jail before formal
charges were even filed.

Ali: Arrested in March 2020, still in pre-trial
detention more than four and a half years later. Arrested &quot;solely on the
basis of facial recognition.&quot;

Gulfisha Fatima, Meeran Haider, Shifa-Ur-Rehman, and others: Activists
who spent years in jail, finally granted bail in January 2026 by the Supreme
Court after the lower courts repeatedly denied them.

The pattern of arrests reveals something beyond technology failure. Of the
18 activists charged under anti-terrorism laws in connection with the riots, 16
were Muslim. The police framed peaceful protests against a discriminatory
citizenship law as a &quot;larger conspiracy&quot; to incite violence.

Meanwhile, video evidence exists of police forcing five injured Muslim men
to sing the national anthem while they lay bleeding on the ground. One of
them, Faizan, 23, died two days later. No prosecution has
resulted.

Kapil Mishra, the BJP leader recorded making speeches that many believe
incited the violence, is now an elected official serving as a cabinet minister.

The
Surveillance State

India has spent Rs 9.6 billion on facial recognition technology. The
National Automated Facial Recognition System (NAFRS) is being built for
nationwide deployment — a system that will be able to identify any face
captured on any camera across the country.

No privacy impact assessment was conducted before the Delhi Police deployed
their system. No audit of accuracy. No oversight mechanism.

&quot;If you are a Dalit woman in India,&quot; says Vidushi Marda of
Article 19, &quot;the nature and extent to which you are under surveillance are
far more than an upper-caste Hindu man. There is a disproportionate impact on
communities that have been historically marginalized.&quot;

The Internet Freedom Foundation has called for a three-year moratorium on
biometric facial recognition systems. Research has consistently shown that such
systems perform worse on darker-skinned faces, on women, and on minority
populations — precisely the groups most likely to be subjected to surveillance.

Criminal databases in India disproportionately include Muslims, Dalits, and
Indigenous people — the legacy of colonial-er ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Criminal databases in India disproportionately include Muslims, Dalits, and Indigenous people — the legacy of colonial-era "criminal tribes" designations and ongoing discriminatory policing. When facial recognition systems are trained on these databases, they inherit and amplify those biases.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>"Policing has always been casteist in India," says Nikita Sonavane of the Criminal Justice and Police Accountability Project. "And data has been used to entrench caste-based hierarchies. Any new AI-based predictive policing system will likely only perpetuate the legacies of caste discrimination."</em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong><span>The Legal Trap</span></strong><span></span></h2>
<p></p>
<p>The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act has become the weapon of choice for silencing dissent. Under UAPA, the normal presumption of innocence is effectively reversed. Courts are required only to see whether allegations appear "prima facie true" — not whether they are proven beyond doubt.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Bail becomes extraordinarily difficult. Accused can be held in pre-trial detention almost indefinitely. The process itself becomes the punishment.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>The Financial Action Task Force noted in 2024 that delays in UAPA prosecutions are <em>"resulting in a high number of pending cases and accused persons in judicial custody waiting for cases to be tried and concluded."</em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>UAPA's conviction rate is just 2.2%, according to National Crime Records Bureau data. The vast majority of those arrested are eventually acquitted — but often only after years in prison.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>In the Delhi riots case, the prosecution's "larger conspiracy" theory has faced consistent criticism. Defense lawyers argue there is no direct evidence linking the accused to acts of violence, no recovery of weapons, and much of the case rests on hearsay, selective witness accounts, and interpretation of speeches and chats.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>"Chakka jams and other forms of non-violent agitation are part of India's democratic lexicon," Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal argued before the Supreme Court. They "cannot be elevated to UAPA-level offences merely because they make authorities uncomfortable."</em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong><span>The Architecture of Presumption</span></strong><span></span></h2>
<p></p>
<p>Shekhar Natarajan sees facial recognition as deployed in India as <em>"the architecture of presumed guilt."</em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>"The system begins with a match and works backward,"</em> he explains. <em>"It does not ask: What was this person doing? Were they a participant or a bystander? Were they there at all, or did the algorithm make an error? It cannot ask these questions. It only sees faces — and it sees them imperfectly."</em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>In Angelic Intelligence, the architecture would force different questions:</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>An agent embodying <strong>nyaya</strong> (justice) would require corroborating evidence before any action with life-altering consequences. A facial match alone — especially from a system with documented 2% accuracy — would never be sufficient.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>An agent embodying <strong>satya</strong> (truth) would flag the technology's known limitations. It would require disclosure of accuracy rates, training data biases, and error margins. It would not allow a 2% accurate system to present itself as definitive.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>An agent embodying <strong>sahana</strong> (patience) would demand pause before irreversible actions. Arrest, detention, the destruction of a person's life and reputation — these require certainty that current systems cannot provide.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>And an agent embodying <strong>sama</strong> (equanimity) would check for disparate impact. It would ask: Are certain communities being targeted more than others? Is the system's deployment fair across populations?</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>The current system has no sahana. It has only efficiency, measured in arrests made, cases filed, conspiracy theories constructed.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Umar Khalid remains in jail. The algorithm made matches. The courts found the matches sufficient for continued detention. But the algorithm cannot be cross-examined. The algorithm cannot be held accountable. The algorithm cannot give back five years of a young man's life.</p>
<p></p>

<description><![CDATA[ NewsReach
brings you unfiltered stories from professionals shaping the world of branding
on Brand ki Baat

Brands
today are no longer based on advertising budgets and distribution muscle only.
They are shaped in boardrooms where strategy meets instinct, on shop floors
where careers begin unexpectedly, and in everyday consumer interactions that
quietly define loyalty. In the era of excessive personalization, automation,
and unremitting competition, there is one fact that cannot be ignored: the
brand that knows people, will win. It can be in the form of a more insightful
consumer, emotional narrative or empowerment of teams to make risky decisions;
the art of creating long lasting businesses is based on human clarity.

Welcome
to Crafting Bharat : Brand Ki Baat - Mumbai Edition, a podcast
where we talk about brands, businesses and the people who build them internally.
In this engaging episode, host Kartik Chawla sits down with Vivek
Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer of Tata Motors, and Sivaraman
Swaminathan, Founder and Partner at ContraMinds Labs to discuss careers,
consumer psychology, personalization, leadership, and the changing definition
of brand experience.

This series is proudly brought to you by NewsReach, India’s
leading PR-tech platform, Production Partner HT Smartcast, Gifting
Partner Nanaji Natural and Beauty Partner Lakme Academy. Listen to stories,
inspiration, and wisdom!

Edited
Excerpts

Is
personalization still relevant in an age of automation and AI?

Sivaraman
Swaminathan: More than ever. It was the shift to what I term as one-to-one and
digital that made the world change to a mass media. AI and e-commerce today are
based on personalization.

Visiting
a shopping platform, it knows your preferences. That is not only being
convenient: it is being contextually relevant. The concept of AI: It is all
about personalization, the concept of e-commerce: hyperpersonalization.
Personalization is not decreased by automation, but scaled. With automation,
personalization has in fact become much easier since you are essentially
creating scale. It is the brands that remain relevant that use data to learn
the context and provide meaningful experiences.

In
a competitive market, what drives growth decisions?

Vivek
Srivatsa: The fundamentals never change. “Know your consumer well.”

With
the markets becoming fragmented and the competition growing stiffer, the
organization that actually comprehends the reason why consumers buy, the new
needs they have, and how their mind is changing will prevail. The more you know
them, the more you wish to know. There is always a search to know more and know
better.

At
Tata Motors, numerous breakthrough products were achieved by defining very
specific needs of consumers. It is not only ambition that leads to growth, but
insight.

Beyond
pricing and promotions, what truly makes a customer feel valued?

Sivaraman
Swaminathan: “I believe that the brand today is the customer experience.”

You
can have the best product, but every touchpoint defines value. Every
interaction, even inside a bank branch becomes part of the brand experience.
Real differentiation comes when brands move beyond checklists. Birthday
messages from thousands of brands mean little, but remembering something truly
personal like the anniversary of a car purchase makes a difference. When brands
make customers feel seen rather than processed, that is when value is created.

Are brands
relying too much on metrics and not enough on human insight?

Vivek
Srivatsa: “It depends on the category.”

Measurements
are essential but they should not be used instead of intuition and customer
knowledge. The decision is emotional and even conflicting especially in high
involvement products such as automobiles. He remarked how in car industry, even
intervals of waiting can be perceived as something positive that is not common
in other sectors. Finally, there must be a collaboration between insight and
data. The one cannot exist without the other.

Sivaraman
Swaminathan: “The communication is comparable to developing chemistry with
the customer. The metric is actually understanding the physics of how the
chemistry worked.” 

It
is chemistry that generates the emotional link, which is explained by physics.
Information is raw material. Data is boring but the thing is, the creative
thought of interpreting and presenting data is the real opportunity. The
problem with organizations is that it is difficult to derive meaningful value
using a sea of data.

What
is one of your leadership lessons?

Sivaraman
Swaminathan: “Act not like a marketer. Be like a consumer.” Marketers
tend to use their prejudices to make decisions. Upon deliberately putting off
the marketing hat and putting the consumer hat on, you will see new
opportunities and blind spots.

Srivatsa: “Give ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<h3><a name="_lbqp9frui2oi"></a><b><span lang="EN">Is personalization still relevant in an age of automation and AI?</span></b></h3>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Sivaraman Swaminathan: More than ever. It was the shift to what I term as one-to-one and digital that made the world change to a mass media. AI and e-commerce today are based on personalization.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Visiting a shopping platform, it knows your preferences. That is not only being convenient: it is being contextually relevant. The concept of AI: It is all about personalization, the concept of e-commerce: hyperpersonalization. Personalization is not decreased by automation, but scaled. With automation, personalization has in fact become much easier since you are essentially creating scale. It is the brands that remain relevant that use data to learn the context and provide meaningful experiences.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">In a competitive market, what drives growth decisions?</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Vivek Srivatsa: The fundamentals never change.<i> “Know your consumer well.”</i></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">With the markets becoming fragmented and the competition growing stiffer, the organization that actually comprehends the reason why consumers buy, the new needs they have, and how their mind is changing will prevail. The more you know them, the more you wish to know. There is always a search to know more and know better.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">At Tata Motors, numerous breakthrough products were achieved by defining very specific needs of consumers. It is not only ambition that leads to growth, but insight.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h3><a name="_7ytlg84r8kxx"></a><b><span lang="EN">Beyond pricing and promotions, what truly makes a customer feel valued?</span></b></h3>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Sivaraman Swaminathan: <i>“I believe that the brand today is the customer experience.”</i></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">You can have the best product, but every touchpoint defines value. Every interaction, even inside a bank branch becomes part of the brand experience. Real differentiation comes when brands move beyond checklists. Birthday messages from thousands of brands mean little, but remembering something truly personal like the anniversary of a car purchase makes a difference. When brands make customers feel seen rather than processed, that is when value is created.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h3><a name="_ycos6y7lz97e"></a><b><span lang="EN">Are brands relying too much on metrics and not enough on human insight?</span></b></h3>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Vivek Srivatsa: <i>“It depends on the category.”</i></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Measurements are essential but they should not be used instead of intuition and customer knowledge. The decision is emotional and even conflicting especially in high involvement products such as automobiles. He remarked how in car industry, even intervals of waiting can be perceived as something positive that is not common in other sectors. Finally, there must be a collaboration between insight and data. The one cannot exist without the other.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Sivaraman Swaminathan: <i>“The communication is comparable to developing chemistry with the customer. The metric is actually understanding the physics of how the chemistry worked.” </i></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">It is chemistry that generates the emotional link, which is explained by physics. Information is raw material. Data is boring but the thing is, the creative thought of interpreting and presenting data is the real opportunity. The problem with organizations is that it is difficult to derive meaningful value using a sea of data.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">What is one of your leadership lessons?</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Sivaraman Swaminathan: <i>“Act not like a marketer. Be like a consumer.” </i>Marketers tend to use their prejudices to make decisions. Upon deliberately putting off the marketing hat and putting the consumer hat on, you will see new opportunities and blind spots.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Vivek Srivatsa: <i>“Give your employees the freedom to make mistakes, eliminate the fear of failure.</i> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Markets are changing at too high a rate that ideas are not going to stay at the top. New ideas need to be in-house. That is when young professionals are safe to experiment and resolve their problems, organizations can then really move forward.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In a city defined by speed and ambition, this conversation offers a thoughtful pause. It serves as a reminder that as technology changes, and markets change, the principles stand: get to know people, create compelling stories, empower your team, and create experiences that are personally felt. Fundamentally, branding, at its core, remains a deeply human exercise. For those shaping businesses today, the information presented herein is both confirmation and challenge to consideration deeper. In the following episode, you will get to hear more, and listen to actual dialogues and expert opinions!</span></p>

<title>Where Love Becomes Poison: The Darkest Love Triangle Arrives,  teaser out, Na Jaane Kaun Aa Gaya</title>

<description><![CDATA[ In an era where love is often celebrated as pure and beautiful, Na 
Jaane Kaun Aa Gaya starring Secret Game fame Jatin Sarna, criminal 
justice fame Madhurima Roy and  Pranay Pachauri also can be mentiondares
 to explore the side no one talks about — toxic attachment, emotional 
destruction, and love that turns into psychological warfare. This is not
 just a love story. This is a story of obsession, betrayal, emotional 
scars, and the dangerous cost of loving the wrong person.The 1 
minute 10 seconds teaser opens like poetry dipped in venom — haunting 
verses layered over breathtaking visuals of Uttarakhand, where beauty 
hides darkness beneath silence. The teaser slowly pulls the audience 
into a world where emotions don’t heal — they burn.The film 
brings together intense performers Jatin Sarna, Madhurima Roy and Pranay
 Pachauri in a volatile love triangle where trust is fragile, loyalty is
 an illusion, and love is both a weapon and a weakness. Known for his 
explosive performance in Sacred Games, Jatin Sarna steps into one of his
 darkest emotional roles yet — a man consumed by love, ego, and silent 
rage. Opposite him, Madhurima Roy, known for her layered performance in 
Criminal Justice, brings vulnerability mixed with emotional 
unpredictability, making her character both irresistible and complex.The
 teaser moves through close-up emotional breakdowns, intense 
confrontations, passionate romance, and moments that feel emotionally 
suffocating. In one chilling moment, Madhurima’s character questions 
morality itself — asking if love can justify wrong choices. The teaser 
then spirals into visuals of love turning into hate, obsession turning 
into revenge, and emotions turning uncontrollable.The final 
visuals are haunting — Pranay Pachauri playing a mouth organ in 
isolation, followed by Jatin Sarna burning a giant swing with a 
matchstick — a symbolic end to innocence, childhood, and pure love — 
ending with a cry that feels like grief mixed with revenge.Speaking
 about the film, Jatin Sarna said, “Modern relationships are 
complicated. Trust breaks faster today. Betrayal is normalised. And love
 — love is the most difficult emotion to understand. This film shows how
 love can heal you… or completely destroy you.”Madhurima Roy 
shared, “Today relationships survive on conditions. Ego, fear, 
insecurity — everything interferes. This story shows how love can become
 toxic, how betrayal changes who you are, and how sometimes love itself 
becomes the biggest emotional battlefield.”Produced under the 
banner of Dhawan Films and Vikas Arora films the film is scheduled for 
theatrical release on 6th March 2026. It is produced by Vipul Dhawan and
 Pooja Arora, co-produced by Reet Arora and directed and edited by Vikas
 Arora. The story, screenplay and dialogues are written by Amal Singh 
and Vikas Arora. The music is composed by Devendra Ahirwar, Prini 
Siddhant Madhav and Kartik Kush.With its raw emotional 
brutality, psychologically intense storytelling, and a brutally honest 
take on modern love, Na Jaane Kaun Aa Gaya is not just a film — it is an
 emotional experience that refuses to comfort the audience. It forces 
them to confront one terrifying question — Can love justify the choices 
we regret?Official Teaser Link: https://youtu.be/DA17Z6LEE_g ]]></description>

<title>Champions Group Announces Two Mega Nation&amp;Building Initiatives at Global Business Summit 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, 17th Feb 2026 : Champions Group on Friday 14th Feb announced two major
country-wide growth initiatives at the Global Business Summit 2026, aimed at
accelerating India’s global trade integration and building next-generation
economic ecosystems across the country.

The announcements coincided with Shree Narendra Modi Prime Minister of India signing the landmark EU–India
Free Trade Agreement, a historic step expected to significantly boost bilateral
trade between India and the European Union.

Capitalising on the agreement, Champion Infometrics, the data
and trade intelligence arm of Champions Group, unveiled a first-of-its-kind “EU–India
B2B Growth Platform”, designed to double import-export volumes between
India and EU member nations.

The platform is positioned as a digital trade infrastructure
enabling Indian companies and MSMEs to identify verified demand, discover
buyers and suppliers, and transact seamlessly across European markets.

Speaking at the summit, Mr. Subhakar Rao Surapaneni,
Chairman, Champions Group, said,

“This is the right time to structurally transform EU–India
trade. We are onboarding former Prime Ministers and Presidents from European
countries to our board to enable smoother trade cooperation. The platform we
are launching is powered by a global intent engine that helps businesses
understand exactly which of their products or services are in demand across
markets, making it a significant trade enabler for MSMEs and large enterprises
alike.”

The company stated that the platform’s intent-based intelligence
layer will help reduce market entry friction and accelerate cross-border trade
execution. In a parallel announcement, Champions Group also revealed global
alliances for Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and Data Centres across three
Champions Beach Cities planned in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh.

These developments will integrate crystal lagoon–based beach
communities, wellness-led urban planning, and sustainable building solutions
sourced from Belgium, Italy, and Sweden, as part of the Champions Beach Cities
rollout.

Ms. Hemamalini Nidamanuri, Managing Director, Champion Infratech, said,

“During the Global Business Summit, our team had several
meetings with the leadership of organisations including Motherson, Times Group,
CBRE, LOFT, JETRO, and the Government of Uttar Pradesh. These engagements are
translating into strong global and domestic alliances. We are excited to see
more world-class crystal lagoon beach community projects in India, enabled by
superior sustainable materials and global best practices.”

Champions Group stated that the twin initiatives—spanning
digital trade platforms and integrated economic cities—are aligned with India’s
broader vision of becoming a global trade hub and a preferred destination for
GCCs, data centres, and sustainable urban development. ]]></description>

<title>Luke Coutinho Introduces Foundational Medicine: A Science&amp;Backed Approach Supporting Medical Care &amp;amp; Recovery</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/luke-coutinho-introduces-foundational-medicine-a-science-backed-approach-supporting-medical-care-recovery</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Foundational medicine strengthens the
biological, emotional, and environmental foundations on which all healing
depends, and works alongside treatments, scientific modalities and prescribed
medication

●       
This novel approach has been devised by
Coutinho and Team Luke, supported by a multidisciplinary Board of Advisors

Mumbai,
17th February 2026 : Luke Coutinho, Foundational Medicine and
Lifestyle Expert and Wellness Champion for the Hon. Prime Minister’s Fit India
Movement, along with Team Luke, announced the launch of Foundational Medicine,
a structured, science-backed approach that supports the body’s baseline so
medical care and recovery can work more effectively.

Even
at a time when modern healthcare has more information or advanced interventions
than ever before, chronic disease continues to rise. Disordered sleep, chronic
stress, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, gut imbalance, and poor recovery
have become increasingly common. Instead of a symptomatic approach,
Foundational Medicine brings the focus back to one practical and increasingly
vital question: Is the body steady enough to respond well to treatment?

Accordingly,
Foundational Medicine supports healing by strengthening the body’s biology and
emotional well-being, while creating a conducive internal and external
environment. Coutinho’s approach was shaped over 14 years of working closely
with thousands of individuals across ages and stages, from prevention to
chronic illness to end-of-life care. He discovered a simple and effective truth
– no healing modality works optimally when the body’s foundations are weak. In
outcomes observed for conditions such as cancer, diabetes, autoimmune diseases,
Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and metabolic disorders, Team Luke found that while
treatment treats disease, foundations determine recovery. 

Foundational
Medicine works upstream. Instead of only asking, “What disease does this
person have?” it also asks, “Which rhythms are broken?” Sleep, stress load, gut
balance, nutrient status, circadian alignment, inflammation, and recovery often
shape how well someone responds to treatment. Stressing the importance of
paying heed to physician-approved treatment, medication and guidance,
Foundational Medicine also considers medication load and interactions, side
effects (including inflammation, nutrient depletion, gut health, immunity and
cellular function), how treatment can unintentionally strain other systems. It
examines which systems to strengthen so that recovery is steadier and treatment
is more effective.

Foundational
Medicine builds protective and restorative foundations so treatment can do its
job with minimal collateral damage, while the body is supported to respond with
greater stability and resilience. While deeply respecting bio-individuality, it
offers a framework built on the six non-negotiable pillars of food science and
nutrient synergy, adequate holistic movement, deep sleep, emotional wellness
and mental health, nature: internal and external environment, as well as spirit
and breathwork.

When
these pillars are supported, immunity stabilises, inflammation reduces, side
effects become easier to manage, recovery improves, and the body regains its
natural intelligence to heal. The team emphasises that Foundational Medicine is
not about choosing lifestyle over medicine, but about recognising that medicine
works best when lifestyle fundamentals are honoured. Thus, Foundational
Medicine is designed to work alongside every medical system. 

Elaborating
on the concept, Luke Coutinho, Foundational Medicine and Lifestyle Expert,
Wellness Champion for the Hon. Prime Minister’s Fit India Movement, said:
“Contemporary understanding of healthcare is fragmented. Whether someone is on
medication, chemo or radiation, or exploring Ayurveda, homoeopathy or natural
therapies, it must be scientific and built on strong foundations. In addition
to treatment and medications, we encourage people to consider whether they have
built their foundations. Foundations can weaken or even collapse over time or,
in some instances, have never been built properly. Foundational Medicine is
about rebuilding and strengthening those basics, from nutrition and lifestyle
to understanding, communication and compassion.”

Anchoring
this approach is a Board of Advisors comprising senior experts from across
healthcare disciplines, working closely with Luke Coutinho and his team. It
includes:


 Dr Nozer Sheriar
     – Obstetrics &amp; Gynaecology; high-risk obstetrics and hysteroscopic
     surgery; awarded FRCOG Honoris Causa by the Royal College of Obstetricians
     &amp; Gynaecologists
 Dr Sudhir Kumar
     – Neurology; consultant neurologist associated with Apollo Hospitals,
     Hyderabad
 (Hony.) Brig. Dr Anil Kohli – Oral Health (Endodontics &amp; Dental Surgery); Padma Shri
     (1992), Padma Bhushan (2005)
 Dr Sonali Kohli
     – Dermato ]]></description>

<title>EDII Announces PGDM Entrepreneurship for Tech Startups</title>

<description><![CDATA[ AICTE-approved
programme designed for tech professionals aspiring to become entrepreneurs;
aligned with ‘Viksit Bharat @ 2047’

Bengaluru,
February 17, 2026 : Entrepreneurship Development Institute of
India (EDII), India’s pioneering institution in entrepreneurship education,
today in Bengaluru announced PGDM in “Entrepreneurship for Tech Startups,
which is an AICTE-approved management programme designed to empower tech
professionals with entrepreneurial learning, mentorship, and venture-building
support to help convert their high-potential ideas into successful startups.

The
newly announced Tech Startups specialization focuses on growing areas like
EdTech, HealthTech, FinTech, AI-based businesses, and digital ventures that
scale. It is designed with a practical bent, aiming to equip aspiring
entrepreneurs with skills that include identifying opportunities, assessing
feasibility, creating a business model, product development, funding readiness,
and go-to-market strategies.

Dr.
Sunil Shukla, Director General, EDII, said,
“Given the fact that Bengaluru is the hub of technology activity in India, and
that Karnataka is at the heart of the startup boom, we thought that this would
be the right place to launch our specialization in Tech Startups. Young people
today are choosing entrepreneurship as a career option with a purpose, and EDII
is committed to providing a clear pathway for the development of
entrepreneurship that can make a difference to the growth of the nation in the
coming decade or so and fulfill the dream of a developed India by 2047.”

PGDM
Entrepreneurship: Building Entrepreneurs, Not Job Seekers

The
two-year PGDM course in Entrepreneurship, introduced in 1998, is
arguably one of the most focused courses in India, with its sole objective
being entrepreneurship development. The course is approved by the All India
Council of Technical Education, accredited by the National Board of
Accreditation, and has an MBA equivalent status with the Association of Indian
Universities.

Given
that there are more than 2,200 alumni of this program with about 79% of them
becoming active entrepreneurs, EDII follows a milestone-based teaching
approach. This approach assists students in becoming entrepreneurs while they
are still in the course. The students are given organized mentoring, sector
experience in real industries, incubation support via EDII’s Centre for
Advancing and Launching Enterprises (CALEL), and seed grants tied to
milestones.

Students
can currently specialise in New Enterprise Creation, Family Business
Management, Social Entrepreneurship, and now Tech Startups,
making the PGDM a comprehensive platform for diverse entrepreneurial pathways.

The
PGDM in “Entrepreneurship for Tech Startups” is especially relevant for:

●     
Tech professionals
(software, product, data/AI, engineering, IT services) who want to transition
into entrepreneurship

●     
Early-stage founders
seeking sharper business fundamentals, execution rigour and mentorship

●     
Innovation-driven graduates
keen to build digital-first, tech-enabled enterprises

Strong CSR
Presence and Grassroots Entrepreneurship in Karnataka

Ever
since the first regional office was established in Bengaluru in 1997, EDII has
been actively involved in the state beyond its academic pursuits, with
partnerships in the areas of CSR initiatives, as well as with the state
government, focusing on women empowerment, MSME development, entrepreneurship
among the youth, sustainable business initiatives, and livelihood development
in districts like Mandya, Tumakuru, Kolar, and Nelamangala.

EDII
works along with the best corporate partners such as Accenture, HSBC, Standard
Chartered Bank, IDBI Bank, etc., to promote CSR-funded entrepreneurship
programs. This impacts thousands of lives, especially women entrepreneurs,
across the state of Karnataka.

The
newer initiatives like Entrepreneurship Hubba in Bengaluru are an
example of EDII’s grassroots approach. They empower women to earn an income
through home-based businesses or small-scale businesses.

About
EDII:

The
Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII), Ahmedabad, is India’s
pioneering national resource organisation dedicated to entrepreneurship
education, training, research, and enterprise creation. Established over four
decades ago, EDII has played a catalytic role in promoting entrepreneurship
across the country through academic programmes, incubation, policy advisory,
and large-scale development interventions.

<title>Astonishing 67% Open Rate: How BrandLoom Transformed Email Marketing for a Shower Filter Brand</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/astonishing-67-open-rate-how-brandloom-transformed-email-marketing-for-a-shower-filter-brand</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/astonishing-67-open-rate-how-brandloom-transformed-email-marketing-for-a-shower-filter-brand</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, India – February 17, 2026 : BrandLoom Consulting, India’s only ROI-focused
brand consulting and digital
marketing agency, announced the successful execution of a high-impact email
marketing campaign for a premium shower filter brand, achieving a phenomenal
67% open rate through rigorous database cleansing, A/B testing, and continuous
optimization.

The newly released case study demonstrates
how BrandLoom turned a niche product challenge into a performance marketing
success story by combining precision targeting with data-driven experimentation.

Avinash Chandra, Founder &amp; CEO,
BrandLoom, said:
“Email marketing is often underestimated, especially for niche utility
products. But when you combine data hygiene, behavioral segmentation, and
iterative testing, it becomes one of the most profitable channels. With this
brand, our focus was simple: test intelligently, optimize continuously, and
scale what works. The 67% open rate was the outcome of disciplined execution.”

The Challenge

The shower filter brand offered a
compelling solution to a widespread problem: hard water causing skin
irritation, reduced soap lather, and hair damage. While the product delivered
immediate value, the company struggled to connect with the right audience at
scale.

Key obstacles included:


 Lack of a structured email strategy 
 An unoptimized and unclean database affects
     deliverability 
 Uncertainty around subject lines, messaging angles, and
     audience segmentation 
 Risk of low ROI from poorly designed campaigns 


The brand needed a systematic,
performance-led email marketing framework to unlock growth without wasting
budget.

The Strategy

BrandLoom designed and executed a two-phase
email marketing campaign built around testing, learning, and optimization.

Database Cleansing &amp; Validation
Before launch, the team rigorously audited and cleaned the database—removing
null addresses and minimizing bounce rates to protect sender reputation and
maximize inbox placement.

Campaign Architecture
Two targeted campaigns were deployed:


 Campaign 1: 12,500 emails 
 Campaign 2: 25,000 emails 


This phased approach allowed structured
experimentation before scaling.

A/B Testing &amp; Optimization
The first campaign served as a testing ground. BrandLoom evaluated:


 Multiple subject lines 
 Preview texts 
 Body copy variations 
 Engagement metrics 


Insights from Campaign 1 were used to
refine messaging, tone, and targeting for Campaign 2.

Continuous Performance Tuning
Real-time monitoring enabled iterative improvements, allowing open rates to
steadily increase with each optimization cycle.

The Results

The structured testing model delivered
significant performance improvements:

First Campaign:


 29% open rate 
 Strong engagement benchmarks 
 Actionable data for optimization 


Second Campaign:


 67% open rate 
 Consistent ~30% open rate across individual rounds 
 Substantial increase in audience traction and engagement 


The results validated the power of
continuous testing and disciplined refinement in email marketing, particularly
for niche consumer products.

Why It Matters

For D2C and e-commerce brands selling
problem-solving products, personalization and inbox visibility are critical.
This case study underscores how email marketing, when treated as a performance
channel rather than a broadcast tool, can drive measurable ROI.

By focusing on deliverability, experimentation,
and behavioral insights, BrandLoom converted a standard email campaign into a
high-performing growth engine, thereby showcasing why it is known as the best email
marketing agency in India.

About BrandLoom

Founded in 2015, BrandLoom is India’s only
ROI-focused Brand Consulting and Digital Marketing firm, built on the principle
that marketing must deliver measurable business impact. The agency partners
with growth-oriented B2B, B2C, D2C, and e-commerce brands to build scalable
revenue engines through integrated brand strategy, SEO, performance marketing,

<title>LegalEdge Explains Why MH CET Law Is Misjudged by Most Aspirants</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/legaledge-explains-why-mh-cet-law-is-misjudged-by-most-aspirants</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/legaledge-explains-why-mh-cet-law-is-misjudged-by-most-aspirants</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

For CET-focused law aspirants, the real
challenge isn’t “tough questions”—it’s an underestimated exam with predictable
traps.

A striking pattern is emerging among
Maharashtra’s law aspirants: many treat MH CET Law as a “safe” exam, only to be
surprised on result day. Mentors and exam observers say the test is routinely
misjudged—not because it is impossibly difficult, but because it punishes
casual preparation, weak reading discipline, and poor section-balancing. The
exam is conducted by the State Common Entrance Test Cell in online mode.

At the centre of this misjudgment is a
simple misconception: “No negative marking means I can attempt
everything and still be fine.” In reality, the absence of negative
marking shifts the competition to speed, accuracy, and decision-making under
time pressure. With an online, objective format and a fixed test duration, the
gap between an average attempt and a high-quality attempt becomes the real
differentiator.

Why MH CET Law is widely underestimated

MH CET Law is
often labelled “easier” compared to some other national law entrances, which
leads aspirants to prepare lightly, postpone mock practice, and rely on
guesswork. But the exam structure quietly demands strong fundamentals across
multiple areas, and it rewards those who can maintain momentum without losing
accuracy.

Most importantly, the test does not merely
check knowledge—it checks how quickly you can apply it.

Publicly available exam pattern summaries
indicate the paper is computer-based, runs for 120 minutes, and
typically carries 120 questions for 120 marks, with no negative
marking; the paper is available in English and Marathi. These
design choices create a very specific kind of pressure: aspirants who read
slowly, overthink, or lack a clear attempt strategy end up leaving marks on the
table—even when the questions look “doable.”

The question aspirants keep asking: “Why
do students fail MH CET Law?”

Students do not “fail” MH CET Law because
it is beyond their capability. They fail because they misread what the exam
rewards. Based on recurring preparation patterns seen across CET-focused
cohorts, the most common reasons are:

1.Overconfidence due to no negative
marking
Many aspirants believe attempting everything is enough. But random attempts
without control over accuracy lead to wasted time and low-quality scoring. In a
competitive merit list, smart selection beats blind speed. 

2.Ignoring the score-dense sections
until the last month
Aspirants often delay General Knowledge/Current Affairs and Legal Aptitude
thinking they can “cover it later.” The truth is that these areas are not built
overnight; they improve through consistent exposure, short notes, and revision
cycles. 

3.Weak reading speed and fatigue
management
Even when the questions are straightforward, reading them
efficiently—especially in long reasoning sets—requires stamina. A candidate can
know the concept and still lose marks due to slow comprehension and
second-guessing. 

4.Treating Legal Reasoning like static
GK
Legal Aptitude is frequently misunderstood as “learn a few legal terms.” In
reality, it tests principle–fact application. Aspirants who don’t practise
the application step struggle, even if they have memorised
definitions. 

5.No mock-test loop (Attempt → Analyse →
Improve)
A mock taken without analysis is entertainment, not preparation. Students
repeat the same mistakes because they never identify: 

a.where time leaks happen, 

b.which question types trigger errors,
and 

c.what a realistic attempt plan looks like
for their skill level. 

6.Poor section balancing
Many aspirants spend too long on a “comfortable” section (often English or a
favourite reasoning type) and then rush through the rest. MH CET Law typically
rewards balanced coverage more than perfection in one area. 

7.Language-interface surprises
Because the exam is offered bilingually (English/Marathi), some aspirants face
avoidable confusion on test day—especially if they have never practised in the
same interface conditions.  

The exam’s “quiet traps” that catch
serious students too

Observers note that MH CET Law has a habit
of appearing easy in isolation—one question at a time—yet becoming difficult as
a full paper. The difficulty is cumulative: time pressure, mental switching
between sections, and sustained accuracy across 120 minutes. In such a setting,
even small inefficiencies—like re-reading questions or calculating too much
instead of estimating—add up to a significant score gap.

Another frequent error is misplaced
effort: aspirants spend weeks collecting “important questions,” but they
don’t build the one thing that decides ranking—repeatable test behaviour.
High scorers don’t just know more; they execute better.

What effective preparation looks like
(without gimmicks)

This is where structured guidance matters,

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">A message to CET-focused law aspirants by LegalEdge</span></b><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">MH CET Law is not an exam you can “figure out on the day.” It is also not an exam that rewards panic preparation. It is a ranking test, and ranking tests are won by disciplined basics, controlled attempts, and relentless review of mistakes.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">As CET cycles intensify and competition grows, the smartest move for aspirants is to respect the exam for what it is: a fast, balanced, decision-heavy paper where execution decides outcomes. And as LegalEdge mentors repeatedly point out, once students stop misjudging MH CET Law, their scores usually improve—not by luck, but by design.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Chennai, India, February
17, 2026 : PAT rose 578% compared to last year as Kabra Drugs Limited
(BSE: 524322), a fast‑emerging microcap company, announced its unaudited financial results for
the quarter ended December 31, 2025, on February 13, 2026, alongside a series
of strategic initiatives approved earlier on January 1, 2026. Together, these
milestones underscore the Company’s turnaround momentum, its
diversification into high‑growth industries, and the strong investor rally that has driven its
stock up nearly 200% over the past year.

For the December quarter,
Kabra Drugs reported revenue of ₹30.42 crore, marking a sharp 53.9%
increase over the September 2025 quarter revenue of ₹19.76 crore, and a complete
turnaround from nil revenue in December 2024. 

Profit After Tax stood at
₹2.56 crore, representing a 39.7% sequential rise QoQ compared to ₹1.84 crore in September 2025, and a dramatic 578% YoY
swing from a loss of ₹53.69 lakhs in the same period last year.



Don’t forget, the Company
is also planning to enter into multiple new business streams, including
manufacturing of medical equipment, as per their announcements given in the
BSE exchange earlier.

Alongside this, Kabra Drugs
signed an agreement with MR Franchise to appoint 200 channel partners
nationwide, strengthening its distribution reach and market presence. The
Board has also proposed a name change to better reflect its evolving business
direction, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.

The financial results have
been reviewed by the Audit Committee and subjected to a limited review by
statutory auditors. Strategic initiatives remain subject to shareholder and
regulatory approvals. All disclosures are made in compliance with SEBI (LODR)
Regulations, 2015.

<description><![CDATA[ Tuesday, 17th Feb 2026 : Greenheck India Private Limited, the
Indian subsidiary of US-based Greenheck Corporation, a global leader in air
movement, control and conditioning solutions, has collaborated with Centre for
CSR and Sustainability Excellence (CCSE), which is the non-profit foundation of
Innovative Project Management Pvt. Ltd. (IPMS), to launch its third CSR project
in Rewari, Haryana. The main objective of this project is to strengthen
essential public infrastructure by enhancing healthcare, education, and public
safety institutions through sustainable and renewable energy solutions, thereby
benefiting residents across the district. 

As per the CSR program, 5 kW
hybrid solar power systems will set up at Primary Health Centre (PHC) and a
Government Senior Secondary School. This will make sure that the PHC will get
uninterrupted power supply for its critical medical equipment and the school
will smoothly run its digital learning tools, classrooms, laboratories, etc.
running. Moreover, this project will also improve classroom infrastructure for
better learning experience with IT equipment for effective teaching and digital
learning which will ensure a safe and conducive environment for both the
students and the staff. The improvements are ultimately targeted to uplift the
hygiene and overall learning outcomes in both students and staff. 

In addition to strengthening healthcare
and educational infrastructure, the CSR initiative also extends support to
essential public services through the installation of a 3 kW solar power system
at the Kasola Police Station. This intervention will support uninterrupted
operations at the police station while promoting the use of clean and renewable
energy. By incorporating renewable energy solutions across healthcare,
education, and public safety institutions, the program demonstrates an
integrated approach toward sustainable infrastructure development and improved
service delivery, benefiting communities across the district.

Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Sunil
Arora (Senior Manager, Finance &amp; Commerce) stated, “IPMS and its
social arm, CCSE, have played a commendable role in the successful
implementation of Greenheck India’s CSR initiative in Rewari, Haryana. Through
effective planning, coordination, and on-ground execution, they have ensured
that the project objectives—strengthening healthcare, education, and community
safety—were achieved in a meaningful and sustainable manner. The installation
of solar power systems and infrastructure improvements across public
institutions reflect their commitment to community development, environmental
sustainability, and long-term impact. Their efforts have significantly
contributed to the successful delivery of the CSR project and have created
tangible benefits for the local community”.

Dr. Soumitro Chakraborty, Chairman of
CCSE, stated,
“Collaborating with Greenheck India Private Limited for the third time
presents a remarkable opportunity. We intended to make a significant difference
in the lives of Rewari residents by improving healthcare, education and road
safety.”

The initiative supports community
development, environmental sustainability, and better public infrastructure,
aligning with multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including No
Poverty (SDG 1), Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3), Quality Education (SDG 4),
Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7),
Sustainable Communities (SDG 11), Climate Action (SDG 13), and Life on Land
(SDG 15). ]]></description>

<title>Filmmaker Yogesh Deshpande enters mainstream Hindi cinema with upcoming directorial debut</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/filmmaker-yogesh-deshpande-enters-mainstream-hindi-cinema-with-upcoming-directorial-debut</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
February 17, 2026 : After building a strong creative foundation
across advertising and regional cinema, filmmaker Yogesh Deshpande is set to
step into mainstream Hindi cinema with his upcoming feature film, marking a
significant new chapter in a career that has seamlessly bridged advertising
craft and culturally rooted storytelling. The project, currently in
pre-production, is scheduled to go on floors in the coming months, with casting
underway and extensive location recce already completed.

Deshpande’s
move into the Hindi film industry reflects a natural evolution of a creative
journey that began in advertising. Since starting his career in 2005, he has
written and directed over 100 ad films, building a strong reputation for visual
storytelling and brand communication. He is also the founder of RedefineZ
Concepts, which later expanded into a full-fledged production house, RedefineZ
Productions, based in Pune.

Speaking
about his journey and his entry into mainstream Hindi cinema, Yogesh Deshpande
said, “My journey from advertising to filmmaking has always been guided by a
belief that stories must remain emotionally honest and culturally rooted. Each
project has helped me explore how deeply personal narratives can connect with
wider audiences. Entering mainstream Hindi cinema feels like a natural
extension of that journey — an opportunity to tell stories that are both
intimate and universal. This film reflects the world we live in today, shaped
by change, technology, and human relationships, while remaining deeply grounded
in real experiences.”

He
transitioned into feature filmmaking with 66 Sadashiv, marking his entry into
long-form storytelling. He followed this with the ambitious musical biopic
Swaragandharvaa Sudhir Phadke, which stood out for its rare musical
authenticity and use of original songs recorded by legendary voices including
Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosale, Sudhir Phadke, and Kishore Kumar. Released
across five countries, the film received widespread critical acclaim and
international recognition, further establishing Deshpande’s reputation for
culturally rooted storytelling.

His
upcoming Hindi feature reflects the same creative philosophy. Set against the
cinematic landscapes of Konkan, the film explores the human impact of the
digital divide — a theme rarely explored in mainstream Hindi cinema. Driven by
a strong female protagonist, the story promises an emotionally layered
narrative that blends intimate human experiences with a visually expansive
setting.

With
a career spanning advertising, music-led biographical storytelling, and
culturally anchored narratives, Deshpande represents a new generation of
filmmakers bringing regional depth and emotional authenticity into mainstream
Hindi cinema. His transition marks not just a personal milestone, but also a
creative expansion — one that continues to place human emotion and cultural
identity at the heart of cinematic storytelling. ]]></description>

Since starting his career in 2005, he has written and directed over 100 ad films, building a strong reputation for visual storytelling and brand communication. He is also the founder of RedefineZ Concepts, which later expanded into a full-fledged production house, RedefineZ Productions, based in Pune.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Speaking about his journey and his entry into mainstream Hindi cinema, Yogesh Deshpande said, <i>“My journey from advertising to filmmaking has always been guided by a belief that stories must remain emotionally honest and culturally rooted. Each project has helped me explore how deeply personal narratives can connect with wider audiences. Entering mainstream Hindi cinema feels like a natural extension of that journey — an opportunity to tell stories that are both intimate and universal. This film reflects the world we live in today, shaped by change, technology, and human relationships, while remaining deeply grounded in real experiences.”</i></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">He transitioned into feature filmmaking with 66 Sadashiv, marking his entry into long-form storytelling. He followed this with the ambitious musical biopic Swaragandharvaa Sudhir Phadke, which stood out for its rare musical authenticity and use of original songs recorded by legendary voices including Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosale, Sudhir Phadke, and Kishore Kumar. Released across five countries, the film received widespread critical acclaim and international recognition, further establishing Deshpande’s reputation for culturally rooted storytelling.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">His upcoming Hindi feature reflects the same creative philosophy. Set against the cinematic landscapes of Konkan, the film explores the human impact of the digital divide — a theme rarely explored in mainstream Hindi cinema. Driven by a strong female protagonist, the story promises an emotionally layered narrative that blends intimate human experiences with a visually expansive setting.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">With a career spanning advertising, music-led biographical storytelling, and culturally anchored narratives, Deshpande represents a new generation of filmmakers bringing regional depth and emotional authenticity into mainstream Hindi cinema. His transition marks not just a personal milestone, but also a creative expansion — one that continues to place human emotion and cultural identity at the heart of cinematic storytelling.</span></p>

fulfilling and culturally vibrant.&quot;

 

Vice-Chairman Dr. Ch. Preeti Reddy added, &quot;This
is a night of inner awakening. Seeing 10,000 faculty members and 30,000
students come together in such a disciplined and devoted manner is a testament
to the spirit of the Malla Reddy institutions.&quot;

in an educational institution in India.

and continuous Bhajans throughout the night.

togetherness.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
India, 16 February 2026 : SAS, a leader in data and AI, in
collaboration with Goa Institute of Management (GIM), is proud to announce the
success of our annual Bitathon, one of India’s most anticipated student
analytics competitions. Now in its eighth edition, the event saw over 1,500
registrations and more than 850 teams from leading institutions nationwide – a
strong testament to the country’s growing appetite for data-driven innovation. 

This
year’s theme - &quot;Responsible AI: Intelligence for a Shared Tomorrow” invited
participants to tackle problem statements that reflect the real-world dilemmas
shaping the future of business, society and sustainability. The competition
gave aspiring data scientists a platform to test their skills, engage with
industry leaders, and gain national-level exposure. 

Bhuvan
Nijhawan, Sr. Director, Education – Asia Pacific, SAS said, &quot;Bitathon has
become a proving ground for India’s brightest analytical minds. This year,
participants demonstrated how creativity, responsibility, and technical
excellence can come together to solve challenges in meaningful ways. As AI
becomes more autonomous and more embedded in everyday decisions, competitions
like Bitathon prepare students not just to use AI but to share the future of
responsible innovation.”

Dr.

Management said, “At Goa Institute of Management, we’ve always believed that
great ideas emerge when academic depth meets hands-on exploration. Bitathon
2026 reaffirmed that belief. The solutions we witnessed this year reflect not
only technical brilliance but a deep understanding of the societal impact of
analytics. Our collaboration with SAS ensures that students gain exposure to
real-world challenges while learning to apply data science with responsibility
and purpose.”

Bitathon
2026 unfolded across two phases – an online preliminary round followed by the
on-campus finale at GIM, Goa, bringing together some of India’s most skilled
young analysts. Participants competed for prestigious SAS Data Science
certifications and cash prizes worth INR 19 Lakhs.

The
finale featured a 24-hour challenge from February 12-14, 2026, set against the
vibrant backdrop of the GIM campus. A celebratory gala dinner offered students
an opportunity to interact with industry experts and peers, while the
concluding day hosted a panel discussion and finalist presentations – creating
a dynamic environment for learning.

<title>The smarter E India 2026 takes shape as Gujarat’s ‘Energy ka Mahakumbh’</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-smarter-e-india-2026-takes-shape-as-gujarats-energy-ka-mahakumbh</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-smarter-e-india-2026-takes-shape-as-gujarats-energy-ka-mahakumbh</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The event to reflect India’s shift from clean energy adoption to execution,
manufacturing scale, and system integration

Gandhinagar: As
India’s clean energy transition enters a phase defined less by targets and more
by execution, the sector’s attention is increasingly turning to platforms that
bring technology, manufacturing, and policy conversations together. It is in
this context that Gujarat—the land of the new rising sun—shines
brighter as Gandhinagar proudly hosts The Smarter E once
again from 25-27 February, positioning itself as Gujarat’s
largest clean energy exhibition and an industry convergence many are
referring to as the Energy ka Mahakumbh.

 

The event has over 300 exhibitors already
confirmed, spanning solar energy storage, Electric Mobility and
Infrastructure, and components of complete energy systems. The scale highlights
how India’s renewable energy ecosystem is consolidating around platforms that
combine technology, policy dialogue, and commercial decision-making in one
place.

 

The event will also witness 19000+ professional
visitors, 300+ thought leaders as conference attendees, 60+ international
speakers engaging in various forums like Conference: Adoption to
Leadership: Powering Atmanirbhar Bharat through Technological Innovation, POD
Cast series: Voices of India’s Energy Leaders - The smarter E India POD
Cast Series and Innovator and Start-up Arena.

 

“The nature of conversations in the sector has
changed,” said Bhupinder Singh, President – IMEA, Messe München &amp;
CEO of Messe Muenchen India. “India is no longer debating intent. The focus
is now on execution, supply chains, and competitiveness of domestic
manufacturing. The smarter E India has evolved to reflect that shift, which is
why the industry increasingly sees it as an Energy ka Mahakumbh.”

 

As part of its broader engagement approach, Pratik
Gandhi has been appointed Brand Ambassador for The smarter E India
2026. Organisers say the association reflects the expanding role of clean
energy within India’s economic and industrial landscape, as the sector
increasingly intersects with manufacturing, infrastructure development, and
employment generation.

 

The selection of Gujarat as host underscores the
state’s growing role in India’s renewable energy journey. Over the past few
years, Gujarat has emerged as a key hub for large-scale solar and wind
deployment, alongside a steadily expanding manufacturing base aligned with
India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat objectives.

 

Anchoring the 2026 edition is the conference
themed “Adoption to Leadership: Powering Atmanirbhar Bharat through
Technological Innovation”, which will examine how India can move from being
a large clean energy market to a global leader in technology development and
manufacturing, as the sector enters its next phase of growth.

 

The conference will bring together voices from project
development, manufacturing, policy, and international industry bodies
including Vinay Kumar Pabba, CEO of Vibrant Energy; Dr.
Puzant Baliozian from the VDMA PV Equipment Group; Vinay
Rustagi, Chief Business Officer at Premier Energies; Dr. Rahul
Walawalkar, President of NETRA; and Bhagyasree Nair, Energy

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India] : Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, explains the impact of AI that could change narratives in this opinion piece.The question isn&#039;t why Angelic Intelligence went viral. The question is why nothing else did—and what that absence reveals about the gap between how the AI industry talks about its work and how the public actually experiences it.For a decade, the AI discourse has been dominated by two narratives. The utopian version: AI will solve climate change, cure diseases, extend human capability beyond current imagination. The dystopian version: AI will destroy jobs, concentrate power, potentially threaten human existence itself. Both narratives are dramatic. Both are extensively funded. Neither proved particularly shareable.The utopian narrative accumulated approximately 50 million combined views across major platforms over the past five years. The dystopian narrative, driven by high-profile figures warning about existential risk, managed roughly 120 million. Angelic Intelligence—unfunded, grassroots, starting from zero—reached 800 million in eighteen months.❝ People weren&#039;t scared of AI being too powerful.

Not warnings about what might go wrong, but a framework for what could go right. Not limitations on capability, but redirection of purpose. Not fear, but possibility.&quot;Every other AI philosophy positioned the public as potential victims or potential beneficiaries—passive either way.

<p dir="ltr"><span>"The existential question isn't whether AI will destroy humanity. It's whether the AI we're building serves humanity.

<title>From Secunderabad to 800 Million Screens: The Ideas India Gave to Global AI</title>

<description><![CDATA[ How civilizational knowledge, ignored by Western computer science, became the foundation for a global movementNew Delhi [India], February 16: Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, explains the impact of India&#039;s contribution to the global AI, an influence that could change narratives in the long run. The journey from a one-room house in Secunderabad to reshaping global AI discourse extends beyond geography. It spans paradigms, intellectual traditions, and fundamentally different assumptions about what intelligence means and what it should serve.Shekhar Natarajan&#039;s contribution to artificial intelligence—the framework he calls Angelic Intelligence—draws explicitly from civilizational knowledge that Western computer science has largely ignored. The 27 Digital Angels at its core aren&#039;t arbitrary designations or marketing constructs. They&#039;re rooted in Sanskrit concepts of virtue that predate modern computing by millennia, adapted for a technological context their originators could never have imagined.❝ America taught me to build systems. India taught me why they should exist. ❞The biographical details are remarkable even before considering the ideas they produced. Natarajan arrived in America with $34. His mother pawned her wedding ring—for 30 rupees—to fund his early education. She stood outside a headmaster&#039;s office for 365 consecutive days to secure admission to the school, refusing to leave until the door opened.These aren&#039;t details Natarajan mentions for sympathy or narrative color. He cites them as foundational to understanding why his AI framework prioritizes dignity over efficiency, why it treats human worth as non-negotiable rather than as one variable among many to be optimized.&quot;When you&#039;ve seen what sacrifice looks like—real sacrifice, the kind that costs everything—you understand what systems should protect. My mother didn&#039;t stand outside that office for 365 days so I could build AI that treats human dignity as a rounding error.&quot;The intellectual migration runs in both directions, and understanding this bidirectional flow is essential to understanding the framework itself. Natarajan received an American technical education at Georgia Tech, MIT, and Harvard Business School. He accumulated American corporate experience at the highest levels of Walmart, Disney, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Target, and American Eagle. He holds over 207 patents, most filed in the American intellectual property system.But the synthesis—the framework that has now reached 800 million screens—occurred when he applied Indian philosophical traditions to problems that American technical approaches had created. The result is neither purely Western nor purely Indian. It&#039;s something new, born from the collision of traditions.❝ India didn&#039;t just give the world yoga and zero. It gave us the architecture for AI that serves rather than dominates. ❞The specific intellectual heritage deserves attention. The Sanskrit concepts underlying the 27 Angels aren&#039;t religious prescriptions but frameworks for understanding consciousness, ethics, and the relationship between capability and character. They emerged from traditions that spent millennia considering questions Western philosophy has only recently begun to ask: What is the nature of the mind? What obligations accompany power? How should wisdom relate to action?Western AI development, rooted in a different intellectual tradition, has largely treated these as implementation details to be addressed after capability is achieved. Build the system first; add the ethics later. The approach has produced remarkable technical progress and growing unease about where that progress leads.&quot;The American approach to AI is essentially colonial—extract maximum value, worry about consequences later. The Indian philosophical tradition asks different questions: What does this serve? What does it protect? What does it dignify? Natarajan&#039;s framework brings those questions into the architecture itself.&quot; — a professor of comparative philosophy at a major research university, speaking on backgroundThe global reception of Angelic Intelligence suggests an appetite for non-Western approaches to technology that extends far beyond diaspora communities. The strongest early adoption came from regions that have experienced the downsides of optimization-first AI: algorithmic labor management that reduced workers to performance metrics, automated surveillance that stripped privacy from communities, efficiency-driven systems that displaced populations without accounting for what was lost.The human costs are documented.

The same American tech industry that initially overlooked Natarajan's framework—that passed on funding it, that didn't cover it in mainstream technology media, that treated it as philosophically interesting but practically irrelevant—is now seeking audiences to understand why it resonated so deeply with populations they hope to serve.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>"We spent years trying to export American AI to India and the Global South. Now we're trying to understand why Indian AI philosophy is exporting itself. The market is telling us something, and we're only beginning to hear it."</span><span> — an executive at a major technology company's emerging markets division</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The 800 million views represent more than engagement metrics. They represent a referendum on whose ideas about AI will shape what comes next—and an indication that the answer may not come from where the industry expected.</span></p>]]> </content:encoded>

<description><![CDATA[ Navi Mumbai, India – February 16, 2026 : IRIS RegTech Solutions Ltd., BSE (Scrip
code: 540735) and NSE (Symbol: IRIS), a global RegTech company specializing in
regulatory reporting and digital disclosure solutions, announced today its
financial results for the Third Quarter (Q3FY26) and Nine Months (9MFY26)
ended 31st December 2025. 

In Q3FY26, IRIS reported 23% QoQ and 31%
YoY increase in total revenue. EBITDA stood at ₹788 lakhs, reflecting a growth
of 194% QoQ with an EBITDA margin of 21% and PAT margin at 14%. For the
nine-month period, total revenue grew by 17% YoY and EBITDA stood ₹1,201 lakhs,
delivering a margin of 13%. 

Commenting on the Q3FY26 results, K.
Balachandran, Co-Founder and CEO, said:  

“The second half of the financial year
has been traditionally good and the third quarter numbers are robust as well,
driven largely by good growth and improved profitability in the Suptech segment
of our company. In our enterprise segment, IRIS Carbon continued to strengthen
its ARR base with new customers for our disclosure management solution while
the ESG offering opened its account with the first clutch of customer wins. For
the first nine months of FY26, IRIS Carbon’s net ARR grew by 23%. Our SupTech
platforms delivered 20% YoY growth year‑to‑date, supported by ongoing
engagements with regulators, backed by solid execution. With a strengthened
balance sheet and clearer growth visibility, we remain focused on disciplined
execution and scalable, sustainable growth. We are also planning to move the
Datatech business into a wholly owned subsidiary to bring in more focus and
flexibility for this business” 

Key Performance Highlights:

●       
Revenue
from SupTech witnessed a growth of 20% YoY in 9MFY26 and higher profitability,
led by large-scale regulatory digital-reporting implementations across Africa
and the Middle East.

●       
Cash,
Cash Equivalents &amp; Investments stood at ₹16,493 lakhs, largely from
divestment proceeds of the Company’s TaxTech (GST ASP) business. 

●       
With the
award from the International Financial Services Centres Authority based at Gift
City, we have added three new regulators so far to our Suptech business this
financial year.

Deepta Rangarajan, Co-Founder and
Director,  said:  

“This quarter reflects continued progress
in deepening enterprise adoption of IRIS Carbon’s Disclosure Management
offering, which is helping us strengthen relationships with CFO offices. We
also expanded partner engagements in key RegTech markets too while building
leadership depth for the next phase of growth. We also see AI as a fundamental
pillar of our growth strategy. Our AI-powered Xbrl automation solutions have
achieved commercial validation in key markets, demonstrating product-market
fit. We’re actively expanding AI capabilities across our product portfolio,
targeting significant efficiency gains and new revenue streams that will drive
shareholder value.”

<title>How Humour&amp;Led Content Helped True Diamond Stand Out in India&amp;apos;s Cluttered Jewellery Market</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/how-humour-led-content-helped-true-diamond-stand-out-in-indias-cluttered-jewellery-market</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/how-humour-led-content-helped-true-diamond-stand-out-in-indias-cluttered-jewellery-market</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ True Diamond, a
jewelry brand that has got millions of Indians hooked onto their content and
have used this approach to break away from the stereotype of jewellery
marketing. 

They recently went on
Shark Tank season 5 but didn&#039;t get the deal, but won the internet instead. 

When True Diamond, a
lab-grown diamond jewellery brand known for its honest, no-frills voice,
appeared on Shark Tank India, it found itself pitched directly against Emory,
another lab-grown diamond brand. Emory walked away with the Sharks’ investment,
but instead of seeing this as a loss, True Diamond did something the show
hasn’t seen before.

They made content out
of it.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DTc83mMCeMb/ , https://www.instagram.com/p/DTu4G-bCXbU/ , https://www.instagram.com/p/DTzab7MiUtb/  

In a first for Shark
Tank India, two competing brands, pitted against each other on national
television, came together after the episode to co-create a three-part
spoof content series, leaning into the awkwardness, the comparisons, and the
very public face-off.

The result?
A smart, self-deprecating, sharply written content series that doesn’t just
break the fourth wall—it laughs at it.

Rather than taking the
outcome personally, True Diamond doubled down on what it does best:
storytelling, cultural commentary, and marketing that doesn’t take itself too
seriously. The brand leaned into its “uncool” philosophy—transparent, playful,
and grounded, turning a reality TV moment into a masterclass in post-show brand
behaviour.

The three-part series
has already reached close to 1 million viewers across platforms, drawing
widespread engagement, organic shares, and an outpouring of support from
customers and the larger startup community. The response has reinforced
something True Diamond has always believed: content is not an afterthought,
it’s a core brand strength.

In an ecosystem where
startup success is often measured by funding announcements, True Diamond’s
response reframes the narrative. It shows that brand character, creative
confidence, and cultural relevance can matter just as much as a cheque.

<title>Kashmiril Founder Kaunain Kaisar Wani Tackles Adulteration in Kashmiri Products With Direct&amp;to&amp;Consumer Model</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/kashmiril-founder-kaunain-kaisar-wani-tackles-adulteration-in-kashmiri-products-with-direct-to-consumer-model</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/kashmiril-founder-kaunain-kaisar-wani-tackles-adulteration-in-kashmiri-products-with-direct-to-consumer-model</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Anantnag : At a time when studies estimate that 70
to 80 percent of saffron sold globally is adulterated — mixed with dyed corn
silk, coconut fibers, or synthetic coloring — a young Kashmiri entrepreneur is
building what may be India&#039;s most transparent supply chain for authentic
Kashmiri products. Kaunain Kaisar Wani, Founder and CEO of Kashmiril, is
leveraging direct farmer relationships, ISO-standard lab testing, and a
content-first digital strategy to reconnect consumers with the real produce of
Kashmir.

 

A Heritage Under Threat

 

The numbers tell a troubling
story. Kashmiri saffron production has plummeted from approximately 16 tonnes
per year to less than 3 tonnes over the past two decades — a decline exceeding
80 percent — driven by climate change, shrinking agricultural land, and
urbanization in the Pampore region. What little genuine saffron reaches the
market is frequently undercut by cheap Iranian imports repackaged as Kashmiri,
or outright counterfeits made from turmeric and paprika.

 

The problem extends well
beyond saffron. Unpurified Shilajit sold online has been found to contain
dangerous levels of heavy metals including lead and arsenic. Commercial honey
marketed as &quot;raw&quot; and &quot;Kashmiri&quot; is routinely heated to temperatures
that destroy its glucose oxidase enzymes — the very compounds responsible for
its antibacterial properties. For the 30,000-plus farming families in Kashmir
who depend on these crops for their livelihood, the flood of fakes has driven
prices down and eroded consumer trust in an entire region&#039;s produce.

 

&quot;Growing up in Kashmir,
I saw the real saffron my family&#039;s farmer friends harvested,&quot; says
Kaunain. &quot;When I started looking at what was being sold online as
&#039;Kashmiri saffron,&#039; I realized most consumers have never even tasted the real
thing.&quot;

 

From Pampore&#039;s Karewa
Highlands to the Consumer&#039;s Door

 

Kaunain&#039;s response to this
crisis was not to launch another e-commerce store, but to build an entirely
different kind of supply chain. Born and raised in Kashmir with direct family
connections to saffron-growing communities in Pampore, he understood both the
agricultural realities and the market failures firsthand.

 

Kashmiril, launched in
October 2025, sources every product directly from Kashmiri farming families —
eliminating the layers of middlemen who have historically compressed farmer
earnings while enabling adulteration at every stage. The model is
straightforward: when there are no intermediaries between the Pampore farmer
and the end consumer, there is no point at which the product can be tampered
with.

 

Every batch of saffron
undergoes laboratory testing aligned with ISO 3632 protocols, verifying three
critical markers — crocin content for color potency, picrocrocin for flavor,
and safranal for aroma. The results are notable. Kashmiril&#039;s Mongra-grade
saffron tests at 18 to 22 percent crocin content, compared to the 8 to 15
percent typically found in standard Iranian varieties. This measurable chemical
superiority is a direct consequence of the Pampore terroir — the unique Karewa
highlands at 1,600 to 1,800 metres altitude, where intense UV exposure and
mineral-rich soil force the Crocus sativus plant to produce higher
concentrations of protective bioactive compounds.

 

&quot;The farmers in Pampore
have been growing saffron for generations,&quot; Kaunain explains. &quot;When
you cut out the middlemen, two things happen — farmers earn what they deserve,
and consumers get what they&#039;re actually paying for.&quot;

 

Beyond Saffron: Mapping
Kashmir&#039;s Full Terroir

 

While saffron remains
Kashmiril&#039;s flagship, the platform has expanded to represent the full breadth
of Kashmir&#039;s natural produce. Himalayan Shilajit, sourced from high-altitude
rock formations and sold exclusively as purified resin — not powdered capsules
that may contain fillers — comes backed by third-party Certificates of Analysis
confirming fulvic acid content and heavy metal safety.

 

The range includes raw,
unpasteurized Kashmiri honey in acacia, black forest, and sidr varieties, each
processed without the industrial heating that strips conventional commercial
honey of its enzymatic value. Kashmiri walnuts and mamra almonds are sourced
from orchards across the Valley, while the Chilgoza pine nuts in Kashmiril&#039;s
catalogue carry a particular scientific interest — they contain 14 to 19
percent pinolenic acid, a fatty acid that research has linked to triggering
GLP-1 satiety hormones, compared to less than 1.5 percent in standard pine nut
varieties.

 

Traditional Kashmiri kehwa
teas, prepared from recipes that have remained largely unchanged for centuries,
sit alongside a newer category: saffron-based skincare and cold-pressed
Kashmiri oils. This last segment reflects Kaunain&#039;s broader vision of
transitioning Kashmir&#039;s produce from raw commodities into finished, value-added
products — seru ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Anantnag </span></b><span lang="EN"><b>: </b>At a time when studies estimate that 70 to 80 percent of saffron sold globally is adulterated — mixed with dyed corn silk, coconut fibers, or synthetic coloring — a young Kashmiri entrepreneur is building what may be India's most transparent supply chain for authentic Kashmiri products. Kaunain Kaisar Wani, Founder and CEO of </span><span lang="EN-IN"><a href="https://kashmiril.com/"><span lang="EN">Kashmiril</span></a></span><span lang="EN">, is leveraging direct farmer relationships, ISO-standard lab testing, and a content-first digital strategy to reconnect consumers with the real produce of Kashmir.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The numbers tell a troubling story. Kashmiri saffron production has plummeted from approximately 16 tonnes per year to less than 3 tonnes over the past two decades — a decline exceeding 80 percent — driven by climate change, shrinking agricultural land, and urbanization in the Pampore region. What little genuine saffron reaches the market is frequently undercut by cheap Iranian imports repackaged as Kashmiri, or outright counterfeits made from turmeric and paprika.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The problem extends well beyond saffron. Unpurified Shilajit sold online has been found to contain dangerous levels of heavy metals including lead and arsenic. Commercial honey marketed as "raw" and "Kashmiri" is routinely heated to temperatures that destroy its glucose oxidase enzymes — the very compounds responsible for its antibacterial properties. For the 30,000-plus farming families in Kashmir who depend on these crops for their livelihood, the flood of fakes has driven prices down and eroded consumer trust in an entire region's produce.</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">"Growing up in Kashmir, I saw the real saffron my family's farmer friends harvested," says Kaunain. "When I started looking at what was being sold online as 'Kashmiri saffron,' I realized most consumers have never even tasted the real thing."</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[  InnerFlame Community Launches Science-Backed
Pranayama Platform to Reclaim Yoga&#039;s Sacred Purpose amid Modern
Misinterpretations.

Chennai,
India – February 16, 2026 : In today&#039;s fast-paced world, where ancient
yoga—born over 5,000 years ago in pre-Vedic India—has been gently reduced to
Instagram poses and fitness trends, www.innerflame.world
emerges as a caring digital sanctuary. Founded with deep compassion by
Rajesh Kanna amid his successful corporate career. 

This
global platform lovingly restores yoga&#039;s true essence: &quot;chitta
vritti nirodha&quot;—the gentle cessation of the mind&#039;s fluctuations,
as taught in Sage Patanjali&#039;s Yoga Sutras.

We
understand the longing for true inner peace. Modern yoga often skips the sacred
sequence from ancient scriptures, jumping directly to physicality like a gym
workout without proper preparation. Western styles emphasize sweat over
pranayama and meditation. This commercialization, fuelled by apps and retreats,
sadly risks injuries from overambitious poses and dilutes yoga&#039;s promise of
holistic harmony for body, mind, and spirit.

InnerFlame
gently guides you back to authentic practice through breath mastery—the
forgotten lifeline to vitality, emotional balance, and longevity that your
heart truly seeks.

&quot;Ancient
yogis understood that breath is our most precious treasure and this subtle
current is often ignored despite operating 24/7—without it, we cannot exist for
even three minutes,” says Rajesh Kanna,
founder of Innerflame.world,
with gentle wisdom. &quot;Pranayama isn&#039;t mere air intake; it&#039;s tenderly
regulating prana, the vital life force that conquers the mind and unveils the
Authentic Self—the Soul or Atman. In our fast-paced world, inadequate breathing
quietly breeds anxiety, irritability, and tension. Through InnerFlame, we
lovingly invite everyone to reclaim this nurturing power with humble,
consistent practice.&quot;

InnerFlame&#039;s
proprietary ARRC technique weaves these pillars seamlessly: Activation
gently energizes the body; Relaxation tenderly releases tension; Respiratory
Modulation harmonizes breath; Cognitive Stillness cultivates
meditative peace. Backed by modern science affirming Pranayama’s
nurturing role in stress reduction, immunity, and mental clarity, www.innerflame.world
offers accessible digital coaching for all levels.

Rajesh
Kanna, a Chennai-based combat athlete - Kick Boxer, WHO and United Nations
Certified Recovery Coach, and Advanced Certified Energy Healer, brings over a
decade of devoted practice to InnerFlame. Having compassionately tasted yoga&#039;s
nectar From the Quiet Achiever Guru’s —particularly pranayama&#039;s quiet
foundation for mind stillness—Rajesh lovingly bridges ancient wisdom with
contemporary needs. 

&quot;I
feel the pain when modern life misinterprets yoga as gym culture, skipping
pranayama—the gentle key to dissolving anxiety, fear and anger (our most
dangerous emotion),&quot; says Rajesh Kanna
with heartfelt empathy. &quot;My journey revealed that mastering breath
tenderly conquers the mind, fostering deep harmony and purpose. Inner Flame is
my humble offering to walk alongside you on this sacred path, rooted in
kindness, equality, and unconditional compassion.&quot;

For
centuries, pranayama and meditation have lovingly reshaped inner landscapes,
dissolving fear, uplifting thoughts, and purifying karma across generations.
InnerFlame honours this timeless wisdom without promises of quick fixes—yoga
beautifully demands a lifetime, yet yields profound, nurturing shifts through
devoted habit.

About
Inner Flame Community

Inner
Flame Community is a global digital wellness initiative rooted in traditional
yogic principles, focusing on pranayama, meditation, and emotional regulation
to help individuals navigate modern stress with clarity and balance.

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/gadott-introduces-palette-a-valentine-inspired-bathware-collection-where-design-speaks-in-soft-hues</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, 14th February 2026 : This Valentine’s season, luxury bathware brand GADOTT
unveils PALETTE, a thoughtfully designed collection that brings
softness, emotion, and understated romance into modern bathrooms. Moving away
from conventional chrome finishes, PALETTE introduces a refined spectrum of
muted, pastel-inspired tones – crafted for homes that value quiet luxury and
personal expression.

Designed
for contemporary urban spaces, the PALETTE collection reimagines bath
fittings as design statements. With sculpted silhouettes, minimal forms, and
tactile finishes, the range strikes a delicate balance between minimalism and
playful elegance, making it ideal for couples, new homes, boutique hospitality
spaces, and design-forward interiors.

“At
GADOTT, we believe bathrooms are deeply personal spaces. With PALETTE, we
wanted to move beyond functionality and bring in emotion - soft colours,
calming forms, and a sense of everyday indulgence. Launching this collection in
February felt natural, as it aligns beautifully with the spirit of love,
warmth, and new beginnings,” said Vinay Jain, Founder &amp; MD, GADOTT. 

Inspired
by modern European aesthetics, PALETTE features basin mixers, wall-mounted faucets,
thermostatic shower mixers, showers, and complementary fittings designed to
seamlessly blend into serene, contemporary bathrooms. The collection is
ideal for homeowners and designers looking to create spaces that feel intimate
yet elevated - where every detail reflects thoughtful design.

As
Valentine’s Day increasingly becomes a celebration of self-love, shared spaces,
and meaningful upgrades, PALETTE by GADOTT positions itself as a perfect
choice for those looking to invest in timeless design that feels both modern
and emotionally resonant.

The
PALETTE collection is now available at the New Delhi GADOTT Experience Centre, select retail
partners and GADOTT showrooms. The collection’s price is available on
request. ]]></description>

<title>Gravton Motors Partners with Isha Yoga Center as Official EV Mobility Partner for Mahashivratri 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad
/ Coimbatore, February 2026 : Gravton Motors, an electric two-wheeler
manufacturer built on indigenous engineering and real-world endurance, has been
onboarded as the official EV Mobility Partner for Mahashivratri 2026 at Isha
Yoga Center, Coimbatore

As
part of this partnership, a dedicated fleet of Gravton Quanta vehicles will
support on-ground mobility for volunteers throughout the lead-up to the
night-long Mahashivratri celebrations on February 15, 2026. Thousands of
volunteers, who form the backbone of the event, will rely on Quanta for
efficient, flexible and sustainable movement across the expansive Isha campus

Rooted
in the same mindset

At
its core, this collaboration is about more than just vehicles. It brings
together two complementary approaches to sustainability:

●       
Isha Yoga Center’s thoughtful, low-impact
systems—ranging from its unique bullock cart service to indigenous cattle
conservation—demonstrate how tradition and innovation can coexist responsibly.

●       
Gravton’s Quanta, equipped with in-house
engineered BLDC motor and advanced LMFP battery technology, is designed to
handle Indian roads, loads and distances with a lower environmental footprint.

Both
institutions share a common belief: true innovation begins with
responsibility—towards people, animals, and the environment

EVs
built for real work

Quanta
has already been tested in demanding real-world conditions, from long-distance
endurance rides to daily farm and rural usage, where farmers have used it as a
dependable workhorse for their livelihoods. Its rugged build, load-carrying
capability and low running cost make it particularly suited for large,
high-mobility environments like Isha Yoga Center during Mahashivratri.

By
deploying Quanta for volunteer mobility, the partnership aims to:

●       
Reduce dependence on internal combustion
vehicles within and around the campus

●       
Demonstrate practical, scalable use-cases for
EVs in high-intensity, real-world operations

●       
Showcase how sustainable mobility can
seamlessly integrate into a large spiritual and cultural gathering

Narratives
from the ground

In
line with Gravton’s storytelling approach—“real farmers, real stories, real
impact”—the brand will also document experiences from volunteers and on-ground
teams using Quanta during Mahashivratri preparations. This content will
highlight not just the product’s performance, but the lived experience of those
who depend on it during one of the most complex and logistically demanding
events of the year. You can check latest updates from official instagram handle www.instagram.com/gravton_motors/

Looking
beyond Mahashivratri

The
Isha–Gravton partnership is envisioned as a starting point for a longer journey
in sustainable mobility, especially across South India where both organisations
have deep engagement. By aligning Gravton’s EV ecosystem with Isha’s scale of
outreach and commitment to environmental consciousness, the collaboration seeks
to:

●       
Accelerate awareness and acceptance of EVs in
semi-urban and rural belts

●       
Inspire more institutions and communities to
explore clean mobility solutions

●       
Build a narrative around EVs as reliable tools
for service, not just urban commuting

Hyderabad (Telangana)
[India], February 13 : 
Telecanor Global Limited, listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE),
today announced its financial results for the quarter ended 31 December 2025
(Q3 FY26), as approved by the Board of Directors and filed with the stock
exchange.

Turnaround Performance:

Telecanor Global
reported a significant year-on-year turnaround in its financial performance
during Q3 FY26.

The Company recorded

for the quarter, compared to nil revenue and a loss of ₹0.14 crore
in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year (Q3 FY25).

This marks a clear
transition from a loss-making and low-activity phase to a profitable operating
quarter, reflecting stabilisation of business activity and improved financial
outcomes during the period under review.



Sequential Growth:
Quarter-on-Quarter Performance (Q3 FY26 vs Q2 FY26)

On a quarter-on-quarter
basis, the Company continued its upward trajectory:

Revenue increased by
approximately 20%, rising from ₹5.74 crore in Q2 FY26 to ₹6.87
crore in Q3 FY26.

PAT grew by
approximately 25%, improving from ₹2.53 crore in Q2 FY26 to ₹3.16
crore in Q3 FY26.

The sequential growth
highlights improving scale and profitability, with Q3 FY26 representing one of
the strongest quarterly performances reported by the Company in recent years.

Strategic Asset
Disclosure

As disclosed earlier to
the Bombay Stock Exchange, the Company owns land valued at approximately ₹152
crore, located near the proposed Google AI Centre hub in Andhra Pradesh.

Any potential value
creation from this asset remains subject to regulatory approvals, market
conditions, and commercial feasibility, and no definitive monetisation plan has
been finalised as of date.

partnership, a dedicated fleet of Gravton Quanta vehicles will support
on-ground mobility for volunteers throughout the lead-up to the night-long
Mahashivratri celebrations on February 15, 2026. Thousands of volunteers, who
form the backbone of the event, will rely on Quanta for efficient, flexible and
sustainable movement across the expansive Isha campus

Rooted in the same
mindset

At its core, this
collaboration is about more than just vehicles. It brings together two
complementary approaches to sustainability:

●       
Isha Yoga Center’s thoughtful, low-impact
systems—ranging from its unique bullock cart service to indigenous cattle
conservation—demonstrate how tradition and innovation can coexist responsibly.

●       
Gravton’s Quanta, equipped with in-house
engineered BLDC motor and advanced LMFP battery technology, is designed to
handle Indian roads, loads and distances with a lower environmental footprint.

Both institutions share
a common belief: true innovation begins with responsibility—towards people,
animals, and the environment

EVs built for real work

Quanta has already been
tested in demanding real-world conditions, from long-distance endurance rides
to daily farm and rural usage, where farmers have used it as a dependable
workhorse for their livelihoods. Its rugged build, load-carrying capability and
low running cost make it particularly suited for large, high-mobility
environments like Isha Yoga Center during Mahashivratri.

By deploying Quanta for
volunteer mobility, the partnership aims to:

●       
Reduce dependence on internal combustion
vehicles within and around the campus

●       
Demonstrate practical, scalable use-cases for
EVs in high-intensity, real-world operations

●       
Showcase how sustainable mobility can
seamlessly integrate into a large spiritual and cultural gathering

Narratives from the
ground

In line with Gravton’s
storytelling approach—“real farmers, real stories, real impact”—the brand will
also document experiences from volunteers and on-ground teams using Quanta
during Mahashivratri preparations. This content will highlight not just the
product’s performance, but the lived experience of those who depend on it
during one of the most complex and logistically demanding events of the year.

Looking beyond
Mahashivratri

The Isha–Gravton
partnership is envisioned as a starting point for a longer journey in
sustainable mobility, especially across South India where both organisations
have deep engagement. By aligning Gravton’s EV ecosystem with Isha’s scale of
outreach and commitment to environmental consciousness, the collaboration seeks
to:

●       
Accelerate awareness and acceptance of EVs in
semi-urban and rural belts

●       
Inspire more institutions and communities to
explore clean mobility solutions

●       
Build a narrative around EVs as reliable tools
for service, not just urban commuting

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
13th February 2026: Bengaluru FC has entered into a strategic
partnership with Century Real Estate, onboarding them as one of the club’s
Principal Sponsors, while also featuring the real estate major as a
back-of-jersey partner. The brand’s logo will appear on the back of the team’s
match jersey for the upcoming Indian Super League season. The partnership
brings together two Bengaluru-based institutions with shared legacy and
deep-rooted connections to the city.

The
addition of Century Real Estate marks a significant milestone in Bengaluru FC’s
partner ecosystem. The club continues to align with organisations that reflect
its long-term vision and professional standards. Since its inception, the Blues
have established themselves as one of India’s most reputed clubs, and the team&#039;s
growth has been supported by consistent on-field performance and one of the
most passionate fan bases in Indian football. 

For
Century Real Estate, the partnership reflects a natural extension of its
longstanding commitment to Bengaluru, offering a powerful platform to connect
with the city’s vibrant community. With a legacy spanning over five decades,
the organisation has played a defining role in the city’s urban evolution. The
association reflects a shared investment in the city’s sporting and cultural
landscape.

Ravindra
Pai, Managing Director, Century Real Estate, said, “At
Century Real Estate, Bengaluru has always been at the heart of what we do, and
this partnership with Bengaluru FC is a reflection of that shared connection to
the city. BFC represents the passion, ambition, and community spirit that
Bengaluru stands for. Our association goes beyond brand presence on the jersey
and is about supporting a club that continues to inspire the city and its
people. We are proud to come on board as a principal sponsor and exclusive back
of the jersey partner for the ISL season, and we look forward to building a
meaningful journey together.”

Karan
Yadav, Chief Commercial Officer, JSW Sports said, “Bengaluru
FC represents the energy, resilience, and pride of this city. As a club, we
have grown alongside Bengaluru and remain deeply invested in its future.
Partnerships like these allow us to connect meaningfully with the community and
with fans across generations. We see every association as a long-term commitment
that goes beyond visibility - it is about celebrating Bengaluru and
strengthening a platform that inspires the city’s youth.”

The
partnership will extend across stadium branding, fan engagement zones, and
integrated digital campaigns throughout the season. Century Real Estate’s
jersey presence will anchor sustained brand visibility among football audiences
across Karnataka and national markets, reinforced through match day
integrations, digital storytelling, and immersive fan initiatives designed to
drive deeper engagement beyond the stadium environment.

The
Indian Super League is one of India’s most-watched sporting properties,
offering partners high broadcast visibility and national reach. As Bengaluru FC
prepares for the upcoming ISL campaign, the partnership signals strong brand
visibility. It also reflects a shared intent to champion the city on the
national stage while deepening engagement with the community that continues to
support both Institutions. ]]></description>

<title>Indian Startup Traker Challenges High&amp;Commission Ride Apps With Flat 10% Model for Mobility &amp;amp; Hyperlocal Logistics</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indian-startup-traker-challenges-high-commission-ride-apps-with-flat-10-model-for-mobility-hyperlocal-logistics</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indian-startup-traker-challenges-high-commission-ride-apps-with-flat-10-model-for-mobility-hyperlocal-logistics</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For many drivers across India’s cities, the issue isn’t demand — it’s
predictability. Commissions fluctuate, deductions accumulate, and take-home
earnings often feel uncertain. Traker was built to challenge that structure



Founded by Pradeep Khandekar, Traker is a mobility and local logistics
platform operating on a flat 10 percent    
commission, not a limited-period incentive, but a consistent 10 percent across
passenger rides and local transport services



Unlike conventional ride-hailing platforms that operate on variable
commission structures, incentive-linked payouts, and dynamic deductions, Traker
follows a fixed and transparent 10 percent commission model. The company also
operates through city-level franchise partners, ensuring local accountability,
faster support, and stronger on-ground relationships with drivers. This
localized approach allows Traker to remain closely aligned with regional market
realities rather than operating through a centralized, one-size-fits-all
system.



The response has been swift. Since launch, Traker has onboarded more
than 10,000 vehicles, including bikes, auto-rickshaws, taxis, and tempos. The
platform is currently active across Mumbai, Indore, Hyderabad, and Nagpur, with
operations expanding steadily on the ground.



Traker serves both passenger mobility and short-distance logistics,
supporting daily commuters as well as local deliveries for shops and small
businesses. By maintaining a flat commission structure, the company aims to
improve driver earnings per trip while offering customers more stable and
transparent pricing.

“There’s nothing complicated about what we’re building,” says
Khandekar. “Drivers want clarity before they begin their day. Customers want
fares that make sense. Transparency shouldn’t be a premium feature — it should
be standard.”



The platform’s technology is intentionally simple. Customers book
through a dedicated mobile app, while drivers use a separate app to manage
trips and track real-time earnings. At the city level, franchise partners
oversee onboarding, local support, and daily operations — allowing Traker to
remain closely aligned with regional market needs.



Rather than expanding aggressively nationwide, Traker is focusing on
strengthening operations within existing cities before entering new markets.
The next phase of growth will target Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where demand for
affordable mobility and hyperlocal logistics continues to grow, and where high
commission structures have had a greater impact on driver income.



In a sector often defined by shifting incentives and pricing
complexity, Traker is positioning itself around consistency — a flat
commission, localized operations, and disciplined expansion. Its belief is
simple: fairness at scale is still possible

enabling smooth access to Thane, Powai, BKC and other major business hubs. The
presence of Mulund and Nahur railway stations further enhances the convenience

Wadala-Kasarvadavli Metro Line, the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road and the proposed
Thane-Borivali tunnel, are expected to significantly improve east-west and
north-south mobility, further elevating the micro-market’s long-term growth

efficient layouts and generous living spaces, with a strong emphasis on natural
light, ventilation, and views. The design philosophy focuses on creating homes
that offer both everyday comfort and long-term liveability, responding to the
evolving preferences of urban families.

With
residences starting from INR 1.71 crore, the project will feature 27+ lifestyle
amenities thoughtfully distributed across the podium, ground, and terrace
levels. Residents will have access to a range of recreational, wellness and
community-oriented facilities, including landscaped leisure lawns, jogging and
cycling tracks, swimming pools with aqua gym facilities, indoor and outdoor
fitness zones, sports courts, kids’ play areas, and dedicated spaces for
seniors. Rooftop leisure decks and elevated zones will offer panoramic city
views and community spaces that encourage interaction and relaxation.

Commenting
on the launch, Mr Sumit Sapru, CEO of Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate,
said, “Mulund has consistently demonstrated its strength as a residential micro-market,
backed by robust connectivity, social infrastructure and upcoming transit-led
growth. With Heartland, we are introducing a development that aligns with the
aspirations of today’s homebuyers by combining connectivity, lifestyle
amenities, and long-term value. The project reflects our strategy of
strengthening our portfolio in high-potential micro-markets across Mumbai.”

In
addition to strong physical connectivity, the neighbourhood is supported by
reputed schools, colleges, hospitals, business parks, and retail destinations,
reinforcing Mulund’s position as a self-sustaining residential area in Mumbai.

<title>GetCompanion Launches to Address Rising Loneliness Through Safe, Human&amp;to&amp;Human Companionship</title>

<description><![CDATA[ At
a time when loneliness is increasingly recognised as a growing public health
concern, Gurugram-based startup GetCompanion
has officially launched in January as a technology-enabled platform designed to
restore meaningful human connection through safe, structured companionship.

Founded
by Shradha Chaturvedi, a
Master’s in Health Management, Policy and Law from Erasmus University Rotterdam
and Co-Founder of GCC accounting firm ISSC. GetCompanion is built on a simple
but powerful belief: humans fundamentally need other humans.

Rapid
urbanisation, migration, nuclear families, remote work, and digitally driven
lifestyles have reduced meaningful face-to-face interactions. GetCompanion
seeks to bridge this growing emotional gap by offering accessible companionship
at affordable rates, while simultaneously creating flexible employment
opportunities for trained professionals across cities. The platform is
currently available digitally across India, with in-person services expanding
city by city.

The
launch comes amid growing global discussions around social isolation and
emotional disconnect in urban life. The platform draws inspiration from the
Harvard Study of Adult Development, the world’s longest-running study on
happiness (begun in 1938), which consistently finds that strong relationships
are the most important predictor of long-term well-being.

GetCompanion
serves individuals between the ages of 18 and 90+, offering discreet and
judgment-free companionship via: Private chat, Audio and Video calls and
Verified in-person visits (currently available only in Gurugram)

What
truly sets the brand apart is its structured and verified in-person
companionship service, offered at an accessible price point to help bridge the
emotional void created by the absence of meaningful human presence in modern
life. Users can book companions for a range of everyday needs—whether as a
sports partner, walking or trekking companion, dinner companion, hospital visit
support, or simply someone to spend quality time with. The concept is both
fresh and relevant, addressing a fundamental societal need: restoring genuine
human interaction in an increasingly fast-paced and digitally driven world.The
service addresses diverse needs, including academic stress among youth, burnout
and relationship pressures among professionals, and emotional isolation among
senior citizens.

“Loneliness
today is not about being alone — it’s about not being heard,” said Shradha
Chaturvedi, Founder &amp; CEO of GetCompanion. “While the world is moving
toward AI-driven companionship, we believe that emotional well-being requires
real human presence. Technology can enable connection, but it cannot replace
empathy.”

GetCompanion
is not a dating app and operate under strictly non-sexual framework and follows
comprehensive safety protocols. All companions are police-verified and
behaviour-trained. For in-person visits, identity verification and address
validation are mandatory of customers to ensure security and accountability. 

Mr
Paresh Vaish, a resident of DLF Magnolias in Gurugram states that “In the past
month, GetCompanion has supported my 91-year-old father by reading to him,
managing his routine and medicines, and keeping me updated regularly. They’ve
also assisted with airport pickups and hospital visits for my family. It gives
me peace of mind knowing someone dependable is present when I can’t be.”

<title>Leadership in the Age of Digital Transformation: Why Strategic Tech Fluency Is Now Essential</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/leadership-in-the-age-of-digital-transformation-why-strategic-tech-fluency-is-now-essential</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/leadership-in-the-age-of-digital-transformation-why-strategic-tech-fluency-is-now-essential</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 16th February, 2026 : Organisations
across industries are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, analytics,
automation and digital platforms, yet the returns remain uneven. A 2025
McKinsey study found that only 16 % of digital transformation initiatives
succeed in delivering sustained performance improvements, despite
widespread adoption of advanced technologies. At the same time, Gartner reports
that 65 % of organisations now regularly use generative AI in
decision-making, signalling that access to technology is no longer the
constraint. The disconnect lies elsewhere.

The
growing consensus among business leaders is that the real challenge is not
digital capability, but strategic tech fluency at the leadership level.
Accenture’s 2024 research shows that nearly 70 % of executives cite
leadership capability gaps as a primary barrier to digital value creation,
particularly when it comes to integrating technology with business models,
customer strategy and operating processes. As digital initiatives become
enterprise-wide rather than functional, organisations need leaders who can
translate technological potential into commercial outcomes, manage risk, and
steer change across functions. Digital transformation, in short, has become a
leadership discipline.

Addressing
this challenge requires more than technical upskilling. Leaders must develop
the ability to think digitally. The Certificate Programme in Digital
Transformation and AI for Leaders from IIM Indore is designed
precisely around this need. It equips senior professionals with the strategic
perspective and practical frameworks required to lead digital transformation
initiatives that deliver measurable business value. Rather than focusing on
tools in isolation, it emphasises how AI and digital technologies can be
embedded into core business strategy, process redesign and innovation agendas.

What
Leaders Will Be Able to Do

By
the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

●       
Articulate the strategic principles of digital
transformation and AI

●       
Design and implement AI-led initiatives
aligned to business priorities

●       
Innovate and adapt business models using
emerging technologies

●       
Enhance customer experience through
data-driven personalisation

●       
Identify and manage risks associated with
digital and AI adoption

●       
Lead digital transformation initiatives across
diverse organisational contexts

Industry-Led
Learning and Practical Insight

The
programme is delivered through engaging recorded sessions and reinforced
with live weekly doubt-clearing sessions with industry experts, including:

●     
AI Tool Workshop –
Hands-on exposure to leading AI tools and workflows

●     
AI ROI for Digital Transformation
– Measuring and maximising returns across functions

●     
GenAI and Agentic AI Use Cases
– Applications across IT, BFSI, manufacturing, healthcare and e-commerce

●     
The Future of Digital Transformation with AI
– How emerging technologies will shape autonomous enterprises

Participants
also benefit from peer-to-peer learning, cross-industry networking and IIM
Indore Executive Alumni Status, strengthening both capability and
professional capital.

The
Leadership Imperative

As
digital technologies become deeply embedded in how organisations operate and
compete, the differentiator will not be access to AI, but the quality of
leadership guiding its use. Strategic tech fluency is fast becoming a core
leadership capability essential for driving growth, managing risk and
sustaining competitive advantage.

IIM Indore’s Certificate Programme in Digital Transformation and
AI for Leaders responds to this imperative by preparing
leaders not just to adopt technology, but to lead with it confidently,
strategically and responsibly. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Designed to meet rapidly changing needs of the
modern workplace, the new programs offer exciting additional choices to
companies looking to boost employee engagement, team collaboration and
leadership development in their organizations. 

Friday,
February 13, 2026 : Korelate Learning, a top corporate
team-building and experiential learning company in India, has introduced
several new programs designed to enhance collaboration, leadership

strengthens strategic thinking, collaborative decision-making and alignment
under dynamic conditions.

●     
The Perfume Project:
A novel team activity where participants become creators, brand
strategists, and storytellers, all rolled into one, as each team will

combines creativity, collaboration and communication in a fun &amp; friendly
competitive environment.

corporate groups seeking meaningful engagement alongside measurable learning
outcomes.

A practical, experiential workshop that equips leaders with the skills
and frameworks needed to navigate organisational change, build resilience and
lead teams through uncertainty with clarity and confidence.

Korelate
has been offering programs covering core leadership competencies such as
communication, emotional intelligence, growth mindset and high-performance
behaviours, tailored for emerging managers through to senior leadership teams.

organisational success depends on teams that can collaborate effectively and
leaders who can adapt to change with confidence,” said Siddharth Chaudhary,
Co-Founder &amp; Lead Facilitator at Korelate Learning. “We continuously work
on enhancing and expanding our offerings to reflect the diverse and growing
needs of our clients, while staying true to experiential learning that delivers
real workplace impact.”

“Each

behaviour, capability and mindset that organisations can see and measure over
time,” he added.

<description><![CDATA[ The men in the Epstein files had every resource on Earth. They built AI that
exploits. A man from the slums had nothing. He built AI that serves. That’s not
coincidence. That’s causation.

New Delhi [India] : Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO
of Orchestro.AI, explains how he rose from rags to riches in this inspirational
piece.

THE INVENTORY OF PRIVILEGE

Let’s take inventory of what the men in the Epstein files had.

Collectively, the tech figures documented across 3.5 million pages of DOJ
files controlled more wealth than most nations. They had private islands,
private jets, private chefs, private security, and private access to every
institution on Earth. They had Ivy League educations, tenured professorships,
endowed chairs, and research labs with budgets larger than some countries’ GDP.
They had teams of lawyers, fleets of lobbyists, and direct lines to heads of
state. They attended dinners where the guest list read like the Forbes
billionaire index. They had Edge Foundation galas at TED. They had Palo Alto
supper clubs. They had everything.

And with all of that, they could not build AI that gives a damn
about the people it affects.

Instead they built AI that surveils without consent, amplifies
disinformation for engagement, entrenches racial bias in hiring algorithms,
manipulates children’s attention for ad revenue, extracts personal data as a
business model, and when caught, issues a press release about “responsible
innovation.” They discussed eugenics over email with a sex trafficker. They
attended post-conviction dinners and called it networking. They built the most
consequential technology in human history with the moral depth of a
spreadsheet.

They had islands. They had billions. They had everything except the one
thing that matters.

They had no virtue. And it shows in every algorithm they ship.

THE INVENTORY OF NOTHING

Now take inventory of what Shekhar Natarajan had.

One room. Eight people. No electricity. No running water. No connections. No
safety net. A father earning $1.75 a month on a bicycle. A brother with
untreated bipolar disorder. A school system that said no. A street light.

His mother had nothing except the refusal to accept the word no. She
stood outside a headmaster’s office for 365 days. When they finally let her son
in, she had nothing left to pay the fees except a silver wedding toe ring.
Thirty rupees. She gave it without hesitation.

“That ring was the first piece of code in my life. It taught me that the
most valuable thing you can move is hope.” — Natarajan

The boy studied under the street light. He arrived in America with fifty
dollars. He slept in his car. He worked five jobs. He faced deportation. He
mailed a movie résumé to a stranger at Coca-Cola and got hired with two weeks
left on his visa. Over twenty-five years, he transformed logistics at six of
the world’s largest corporations. He filed 300 patents. He grew Walmart’s
grocery business from $30 million to $5 billion. He took his father off life
support and slept in his car for two weeks afterward. In 2020, his son Vishnu
was born with his father’s face, and he made a promise: I won’t leave
behind one angel. I’ll leave a million.

He walked away from the corner offices. He founded Orchestro.AI. He built
Angelic Intelligence™—the world’s first virtue-native AI.

Not ethical AI. Not responsible AI. Not AI with an ethics board and a white
paper and a Chief Trust Officer who attended the right dinners. Virtue-native
AI. AI where morality is not a constraint applied to an
optimization engine. AI where virtue is the engine itself.

WHY “NOTHING” BUILT BETTER AI

This is not a feel-good story about overcoming poverty. This is a causal
argument about why the most consequential technology in the world
must be built by people whose moral formation happened in places like the slums
of Hyderabad—not at billionaire dinner tables in Palo Alto.

The billionaires had everything, so they learned that rules are
negotiable. When you have enough money, enough lawyers, enough
connections, you learn that consequences are for other people. You learn that a
criminal conviction at your dinner table is a social complexity, not a moral
disqualification. You learn that ethics is something you fund, not something
you practice. That moral formation produced the AI we have today: systems that
optimize for the powerful and externalize harm to the powerless.

Natarajan had nothing, so he learned that virtue is structural. When
you have no money, no electricity, no connections, and no margin for error, you
learn that character is not optional—it is the only infrastructure you have.
You learn that a woman standing outside a door for 365 days is an engineering
solution. You learn that a man giving away his wages on a bicycle is a
logistics philosophy. You learn that a silver toe ring is a financial
instrument. You learn that the system must be mora ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>WHY “NOTHING” BUILT BETTER AI</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>This is not a feel-good story about overcoming poverty. This is a <strong>causal argument</strong> about why the most consequential technology in the world must be built by people whose moral formation happened in places like the slums of Hyderabad—not at billionaire dinner tables in Palo Alto.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>The billionaires had everything, so they learned that rules are negotiable.</strong> When you have enough money, enough lawyers, enough connections, you learn that consequences are for other people. You learn that a criminal conviction at your dinner table is a social complexity, not a moral disqualification. You learn that ethics is something you fund, not something you practice. That moral formation produced the AI we have today: systems that optimize for the powerful and externalize harm to the powerless.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Natarajan had nothing, so he learned that virtue is structural.</strong> When you have no money, no electricity, no connections, and no margin for error, you learn that character is not optional—it is the only infrastructure you have. You learn that a woman standing outside a door for 365 days is an engineering solution. You learn that a man giving away his wages on a bicycle is a logistics philosophy. You learn that a silver toe ring is a financial instrument. You learn that <em>the system must be moral because you cannot afford the consequences when it isn’t.</em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>And because Natarajan crossed worlds—Hyderabad to Georgia Tech, Coca-Cola to Disney to Walmart, Hindu moral traditions to Western corporate governance, supply chains spanning six continents—he learned something else: <strong>virtue expresses differently in different cultures, but dignity is universal.</strong> A Compassion Agent in Hyderabad weights decisions differently than a Compassion Agent in Helsinki. The virtue is the same. The expression is configured. That’s not relativism. That’s intelligence. Real intelligence. The kind you cannot build inside a monoculture that thinks ethics is a PDF.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>“They had every resource on Earth and built AI that exploits. I had a street light and a toe ring and built AI that serves. That’s not irony. That’s causation. Virtue isn’t born in comfort. It’s born in consequence. The slums taught me what Stanford never could: if your system isn’t moral, people die.”</em> — Natarajan</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>VIRTUE-NATIVE: WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Here is the technical distinction that separates Angelic Intelligence from everything else:</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Bolt-on ethics</strong> (Silicon Valley model): Build the optimization engine. Ship it. Hire an ethics team. Audit. Publish a report. Apologize when caught. Repeat. The ethics layer is a <em>constraint</em> on the system. It slows the system down. It fights the system. The system is designed to optimize; the ethics layer is designed to say <em>not so fast.</em> This is why it always loses. The optimization engine has a profit motive. The ethics team has a PowerPoint.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Virtue-native AI</strong> (Angelic Intelligence): Virtue is the computational architecture. Twenty-seven Virtue Agents—Compassion, Transparency, Humility, Temperance, Forgiveness, Justice, Prudence, Courage, and more—are the decision-making layer. They don’t audit decisions after they’re made. They <em>are</em> the decisions. The Compassion Agent doesn’t review a routing choice. The Compassion Agent <em>is</em> the routing choice. The virtue layer doesn’t slow the system down. <strong>It is the system.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>And the virtues are configurable. Because Natarajan understands—from lived experience across continents, not from a seminar—that compassion in a Mumbai supply chain and compassion in a Stockholm fulfillment center express differently. The Virtue Agents are calibrated to local moral realities while preserving universal dignity. This is not cultural relativism. This is <strong>moral engineering at scale.</strong> It requires understanding cultures. Not just studying them. <em>Living them.</em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>“Silicon Valley’s ethical AI is a checklist written by people who’ve only lived in one moral universe. Angelic Intelligence is a configurable architecture built by someone who grew up in a slum, crossed oceans, built systems on six continents, and understands that virtue is universal but its expression is radically local. That’s not a feature. That’s the foundation. If your AI can’t configure for cultural context, it’s not ethical. It’s colonial.”</em> — Natarajan</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>THE SOUND BITES</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Clip these. Post them. Send them to every AI ethics panel on Earth:</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>“They had islands. I had a street light. They built AI in their image—optimized, extractive, and morally empty. I built AI in my mother’s image—patient, sacrificial, and virtue-native. The Epstein files are the character reference for their AI. My mother’s 365 days is the character reference for mine.”</em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>“Ethical AI is a bumper sticker on a car driven by people who can’t pass a background check. Virtue-native AI is a car where the steering wheel only turns toward dignity. 3.5 million pages just proved which one Silicon Valley built. One street light proves there’s an alternative.”</em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>“They discussed eugenics over email with a sex trafficker and then published papers on AI fairness. My father couldn’t read most of the telegrams he carried, but he treated every one like it mattered. One of those formations produced the AI you use today. The other produced the AI that’s going to replace it.”</em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>“Optimization without virtue is exploitation with a dashboard. The Epstein network optimized brilliantly. So does most AI. We built the exception—not from a lab, but from a street light, a toe ring, and the radical idea that machines should behave like good humans, not like billionaires.”</em> — Natarajan</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>“The world doesn’t need artificial superintelligence. It needs intelligence with a moral backbone. The Epstein files just proved that the people building superintelligence don’t have one. We do. It was forged in a slum, not a boardroom. And it’s in the code.”</em> — Natarajan</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>THE VERDICT</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>There are two ways to build the most consequential technology in human history.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>You can build it from islands and dinners and email chains with predators and billions of dollars and eugenics discussions and trust-and-safety theater and 3.5 million pages of DOJ evidence documenting the moral void at the center of the enterprise.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Or you can build it from a street light. From a silver toe ring. From a mother’s 365-day vigil. From a father’s bicycle. From the lived understanding that virtue is not a PDF—it is an architecture. That dignity is not a corporate value—it is a computational metric. That compassion is not a marketing campaign—it is a routing decision. That ethics is not a department—<strong>it is the system itself.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>The Epstein files have been released. The moral architecture of Silicon Valley is documented. The fraud of ethical AI is exposed.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>They had islands.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>He had a street light.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>The street light built better AI. And the 3.5 million pages prove why.</strong></p>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/fintech-platform-endl-secures-15-million-dollar-investment-to-scale-global-payment-infrastructure</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Fintech
platform Endl has raised 1.5 million dollars in pre-seed funding with
participation from Iterative Singapore, 500 Global, and the XRPL Accelerator by
Tenity. The investment marks a significant step in the company’s mission to
modernise cross border payments for businesses operating in emerging markets.

The
funding will support Endl’s expansion across South East Asia, the Middle East,
and India, while strengthening its product capabilities and regulatory
infrastructure. As global commerce becomes increasingly digital, the company is
positioning itself at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain
powered payments.

Reimagining
how global payments work

Endl
offers businesses a unified platform to manage multi currency accounts, hold
and convert fiat and stablecoins, and execute international payouts with speed
and transparency. In addition to its banking and settlement tools, the company
also provides Endl Corporate Cards, enabling businesses to directly spend their
global balances across online and offline merchants worldwide.

These
cards are linked to users’ multi currency and stablecoin wallets, allowing
seamless conversion at the point of transaction and giving companies greater
control over international expenses, subscriptions, and operational spending.
By integrating regulated banking rails, stablecoin infrastructure, and
corporate spending tools, Endl is creating a complete financial operating
system for modern businesses.

Unlike
conventional fintech solutions that treat digital assets as add ons, Endl has
built its architecture with stablecoins at the core. This allows the platform
to optimise liquidity, reduce intermediaries, and deliver near real time
settlements while maintaining full compliance.

Reflecting
on this approach, Co Founder Ashita Batra said,

“Endl
empowers both Web3 and Web2 organizations with USD, EUR, CAD and GBP fiat
accounts, access to compliant stablecoin payments, stablecoin to fiat cross
border remittances, treasury management and yield products. Our focus has always
been on giving businesses institutional grade tools without complexity.”

Leadership
rooted in practical innovation

Endl
is led by founders with deep experience in banking, payments, and financial
technology.

Ashita
Batra, Co Founder and Chief Executive Officer, brings a strong background in
economics and digital finance. Her leadership philosophy centres on making
global money movement intuitive and reliable for businesses that are often
underserved by traditional banks.

Co
Founder and Chief Technology Officer Tejas Arun leads the company’s technology
strategy, building scalable and secure infrastructure designed for multi market
operations. Under his leadership, Endl supports multiple blockchain networks
while ensuring enterprise grade security and compliance.

Together,
the founders share a long term vision of rebuilding global financial
infrastructure around speed, transparency, and accessibility.

This
thinking is echoed in a recent company post, where Endl noted,

“Traditional
banking was designed for a single nation and currency. Modern teams are global
in scope, and Endl is moving the needle by making global business banking
simpler with stablecoin efficiency and multi currency tools.”

Solving
a real problem in emerging markets

Across
many emerging economies, businesses rely on informal peer to peer exchanges to
convert stablecoins. These channels are often unreliable, unregulated, and
exposed to operational and fraud risks.

Endl
addresses this gap by offering a compliant alternative that does not require
users to understand complex blockchain mechanics. Businesses can collect
payments from clients in the United States and Europe, manage funds securely,
and use their Endl Corporate Cards for day to day spending, travel, and digital
services, all within a regulated framework.

This
integrated approach reduces dependency on fragmented financial tools and
enables smoother global operations.

Accelerating
growth after fundraising

With
the new capital, Endl plans to expand its product ecosystem, including
enhancements to its corporate card program, advanced payout solutions, and
deeper integrations with regulated financial partners. The company will also
continue investing in compliance systems and regional partnerships to ensure
sustainable growth. Its participation in programs such as 500 Global’s Sanabil
Accelerator and the XRPL Accelerator by Tenity reflects strong institutional
confidence in its business model and leadership.

Building
the future of borderless banking

Endl’s
long term vision is to create a comprehensive compliant banking suite around
stablecoin wallets, cross border payment rails, and global corporate cards. The
objective is to give businesses in emerging markets access to the same
financial capabilities as enterprises in developed economies.

<title>Puravankara Reports Q3FY26 PAT of INR 58 Crore; Revenue Surges 231% YoY to INR 1,104 Crore, Marking Strong Turnaround</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/puravankara-reports-q3fy26-pat-of-inr-58-crore-revenue-surges-231-yoy-to-inr-1104-crore-marking-strong-turnaround</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru : Puravankara Limited (NSE: PURVA
| BSE: 532891), one of India’s leading real estate developers, reported a
strong financial turnaround in the third quarter of FY26, marking a decisive
return to profitability after two challenging quarters. The Company delivered
robust performance across profitability, revenues, sales and execution,
reflecting improving operating momentum and strengthening cash flows.

Profitability

In Q3FY26, Puravankara reported a Profit After Tax (PAT) of
₹58.48 crore, compared to a loss of ₹94 crore in Q3FY25, underscoring a sharp
recovery driven by improved execution, project completions and operating
discipline. This single quarter’s performance has meaningfully offset a large
part of the cumulative losses recorded in the previous two quarters, primarily
due to handover delays in H1FY26 arising from regulatory transitions, including
e-Khata implementation and by-law changes. 

Commenting on the performance, Ashish Puravankara, Managing
Director, Puravankara Limited, said: “The return to profitability in Q3
reflects the underlying strength of our business and the momentum we are
building across execution, sales and cash flows. Improved realisations and
timely project deliveries have translated into strong revenue growth and a
meaningful recovery in profitability. The strong performance in Q3 has
materially offset the impact of the earlier loss-making quarters, marking a
clear inflection point in our earnings trajectory.

With healthy balance collections and surplus visibility from
ongoing projects, we are well-positioned to support disciplined growth while
continuing to strengthen our balance sheet. The expansion of our development
pipeline reinforces our long-term growth visibility in high-demand urban
micro-markets. Going forward, our focus remains on calibrated launches,
execution-led delivery and consistent cash flow generation, while maintaining a
disciplined approach to capital allocation and portfolio expansion.”

Revenue &amp; Collections

Total revenue for Q3FY26 stood at ₹1,104 crore, up 231% YoY.

Customer collections increased 22% YoY to ₹1,140 crore,
reflecting stronger cash conversion and improving operating efficiency.  For 9MFY26, total project revenue stood at
₹2,305 crore, up 51% YoY, while customer collections rose 8% YoY to ₹3,045 crore.
Operating cash inflows for the nine-month period stood at ₹3,504 crore, up 9%
YoY which resulted in ₹755 crore cash operating surplus for 9M FY26.The company has been consistently
generating cash operating surplus on Q-o-Q basis.

Sales &amp; Pre-Sales Momentum

During Q3FY26, sales value grew 17% YoY, supported by sustained
demand across key markets and healthy price realisations. For 9MFY26, sales
volumes stood at 4.24 million sq. ft., with sales value of ₹3,859 crore, up 9%
YoY, reflecting steady pre-sales momentum across the Company’s residential
portfolio.

Execution &amp; Handovers

Execution momentum remained strong during the quarter, with
1,116 homes handed over covering 1.23 million sq. ft. Over the nine-month
period, cumulative handovers stood at 2,446 homes aggregating 2.58 million sq.
ft., reaffirming the Company’s focus on timely delivery and customer
commitments.

Portfolio Expansion &amp; Future Pipeline

During 9MFY26, Puravankara continued to strengthen its
development pipeline, adding over 12.7 million sq. ft. of potential developable
area with an estimated gross development value of approximately ₹13,900 crore
across key markets, including Bengaluru and Mumbai. These additions enhance
long-term growth visibility and align with the Company’s strategy of calibrated
expansion in high-demand urban micro-markets. ]]></description>

<title>Latur Can Be the Congress Blueprint for Maharashtra’s Revival</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/latur-can-be-the-congress-blueprint-for-maharashtras-revival</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/latur-can-be-the-congress-blueprint-for-maharashtras-revival</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ At a time when the
Indian National Congress is searching for oxygen in Maharashtra’s bruising
political climate, Latur is not just a bright spot—it is a blueprint. The
recent Zilla Parishad and municipal results did more than deliver numbers; they
delivered proof of concept. In a state where the Congress struggled to stay
relevant across most districts, Latur showed that the party can still win
decisively when it gets the basics right: leadership, organisation, and
delivery.

The numbers matter.
Across 12 Zilla Parishads in the recently concluded polls, Congress managed to
secure 59 seats statewide. Of these, a remarkable 23 came from Latur
alone—making it the single largest contributor to the party’s tally. This
wasn’t a narrow escape or a fragmented mandate; it was dominance. Add to that
the Congress victory in the Latur Municipal Corporation, and you have a
contiguous governance base—rural and urban—under one political command. In
today’s politics, that kind of coherence is rare.

What makes Latur
different? The easy answer is legacy—and legacy does matter. The shadow of
Vilasrao Deshmukh still looms large over the district. For many voters, his
tenure represented stability, dignity, and development delivered without noise.
But to reduce Latur’s success to nostalgia alone would be lazy analysis. Legacy
opened the door; organisation walked through it.

The current generation
of leadership—most visibly Amit Deshmukh and Dhiraj Deshmukh—has translated
inherited goodwill into modern political machinery. Booth-level discipline,
early candidate finalisation, local issue ownership, and constant voter contact
were not accidental choices; they were strategic decisions. While elsewhere the
Congress often appeared episodic and reactive, in Latur it was present,
predictable, and grounded.

 There is a deeper economic foundation to this
political durability—rooted in the    
cooperative revolution that Congress initiated 30–40 years ago. In
Latur, that vision continues to take shape through the leadership of the
Deshmukh family across two generations.

Institutions like the
Manjara Shetkari Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana and the Latur District Central
Cooperative Bank reflect this legacy. Under the stewardship of the Deshmukhs,
they sustain a rural circular economy linking credit, cultivation, processing,
and employment. Farmers receive crop loans, grow sugarcane, supply it to the
cooperative factory, earn income, repay credit, and reinvest locally—ensuring
economic value stays within the district.

This enduring cycle has
built generational trust and economic interdependence. In Latur, Congress is
embedded not just in memory, but in livelihood structures shaped and sustained
by the Deshmukh family.

This is precisely why
Latur should be read not as an exception but as a template.

First, Latur proves
that local governance still wins elections. Control of the municipal
corporation allowed the Congress to show visible work—on civic services, local
infrastructure, and grievance redressal—before asking for votes again in the ZP
elections. Voters responded not to slogans, but to familiarity and performance.
For a party frequently accused of being abstract and disconnected, this is a
crucial lesson: power at the bottom rebuilds credibility at the top.

Second, Latur
demonstrates the value of clear leadership centres. One of the Congress’s
chronic problems in Maharashtra has been diffused authority—too many voices,
too little accountability. In Latur, the chain of command is unambiguous.
Cadres know who leads, candidates know who backs them, and voters know who to
credit—or blame. That clarity breeds confidence, internally and externally.

Third, the district
shows that identity politics need not be polarising to be effective. Latur’s
politics is rooted in regional pride and social coalitions without aggressive
ideological posturing. The Congress here did not try to out-shout its rivals;
it out-organised them. In an era of high-decibel campaigning, Latur’s quieter,
relational approach is not just refreshing—it is electorally potent.

Critics will argue that
Latur is unique, that the Deshmukh legacy cannot be replicated elsewhere. They
are half right—and entirely wrong. Names cannot be cloned, but methods can. The
Congress does not need another Vilasrao Deshmukh in every district; it needs
empowered local leaders, protected organisational space, and the patience to
let governance speak before elections do.

Can Latur alone revive
the Congress in Maharashtra? No. But can Latur show the Congress how to revive
itself? Absolutely.

If the party is serious
about rebuilding, it must stop treating Latur as a sentimental outlier and
start treating it as a case study. Replicate the municipal-to-ZP pipeline.
Invest in district satraps instead of parachuting central faces. Measure
success not in press conferences but in potholes filled and water line ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The numbers matter. Across 12 Zilla Parishads in the recently concluded polls, Congress managed to secure 59 seats statewide. Of these, a remarkable 23 came from Latur alone—making it the single largest contributor to the party’s tally. This wasn’t a narrow escape or a fragmented mandate; it was dominance. Add to that the Congress victory in the Latur Municipal Corporation, and you have a contiguous governance base—rural and urban—under one political command. In today’s politics, that kind of coherence is rare.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">What makes Latur different? The easy answer is legacy—and legacy does matter. The shadow of Vilasrao Deshmukh still looms large over the district. For many voters, his tenure represented stability, dignity, and development delivered without noise. But to reduce Latur’s success to nostalgia alone would be lazy analysis. Legacy opened the door; organisation walked through it.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The current generation of leadership—most visibly Amit Deshmukh and Dhiraj Deshmukh—has translated inherited goodwill into modern political machinery. Booth-level discipline, early candidate finalisation, local issue ownership, and constant voter contact were not accidental choices; they were strategic decisions. While elsewhere the Congress often appeared episodic and reactive, in Latur it was present, predictable, and grounded.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"><span> </span>There is a deeper economic foundation to this political durability—rooted in the<span>     </span>cooperative revolution that Congress initiated 30–40 years ago. In Latur, that vision continues to take shape through the leadership of the Deshmukh family across two generations.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Institutions like the Manjara Shetkari Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana and the Latur District Central Cooperative Bank reflect this legacy. Under the stewardship of the Deshmukhs, they sustain a rural circular economy linking credit, cultivation, processing, and employment. Farmers receive crop loans, grow sugarcane, supply it to the cooperative factory, earn income, repay credit, and reinvest locally—ensuring economic value stays within the district.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This enduring cycle has built generational trust and economic interdependence. In Latur, Congress is embedded not just in memory, but in livelihood structures shaped and sustained by the Deshmukh family.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This is precisely why Latur should be read not as an exception but as a template.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">First, Latur proves that local governance still wins elections. Control of the municipal corporation allowed the Congress to show visible work—on civic services, local infrastructure, and grievance redressal—before asking for votes again in the ZP elections. Voters responded not to slogans, but to familiarity and performance. For a party frequently accused of being abstract and disconnected, this is a crucial lesson: power at the bottom rebuilds credibility at the top.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Second, Latur demonstrates the value of clear leadership centres. One of the Congress’s chronic problems in Maharashtra has been diffused authority—too many voices, too little accountability. In Latur, the chain of command is unambiguous. Cadres know who leads, candidates know who backs them, and voters know who to credit—or blame. That clarity breeds confidence, internally and externally.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Third, the district shows that identity politics need not be polarising to be effective. Latur’s politics is rooted in regional pride and social coalitions without aggressive ideological posturing. The Congress here did not try to out-shout its rivals; it out-organised them. In an era of high-decibel campaigning, Latur’s quieter, relational approach is not just refreshing—it is electorally potent.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Critics will argue that Latur is unique, that the Deshmukh legacy cannot be replicated elsewhere. They are half right—and entirely wrong. Names cannot be cloned, but methods can. The Congress does not need another Vilasrao Deshmukh in every district; it needs empowered local leaders, protected organisational space, and the patience to let governance speak before elections do.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Can Latur alone revive the Congress in Maharashtra? No. But can Latur show the Congress how to revive itself? Absolutely.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">If the party is serious about rebuilding, it must stop treating Latur as a sentimental outlier and start treating it as a case study. Replicate the municipal-to-ZP pipeline. Invest in district satraps instead of parachuting central faces. Measure success not in press conferences but in potholes filled and water lines fixed. Maharashtra does not lack Congress voters; it lacks Congress confidence. Latur shows how that confidence can be rebuilt—brick by brick, booth by booth.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In a state desperate for an alternative narrative, Latur is not just hope. It is instruction.</span></p>

<title>GTM Unbound Brought Leading AI Founders and VCs Under One Roof for a Curated Dinner</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
February 12, 2025 :  GTM Unbound brought together 30 leading AI
founders and investors for an intimate cross-border SaaS and AI dinner at KOKO,
in Bengaluru, hosted in partnership with AWS, Paddle, Efficient
Capital Labs and XFlow.

The
closed-door gathering convened ambitious SaaS and AI builders shaping
the next wave of global expansion across the U.S.–India corridor.  Designed as a high-signal environment, the
evening focused on deep discussions covering global monetization, revenue
infrastructure, international scale and funding pathways for 2025.

The
roundtable saw participation from influential voices across SaaS, AI, venture
capital and global revenue infrastructure. On the founder side, the lineup
included Andrew Davies (Paddle, who flew in from London), Prashant
Gupta (DevRev), Manik Mehta (Omnify), Giridhar LV (Nuvepro), Ashutosh
Kumar (Clappia), Amarpreet (Humantic AI), Neeraj Singal (Tagshop),
Anand Balaji (XFlow), and Neha Sanjay (Efficient Capital Labs) and
Neha Reddy (Inventus Law). Representing the investment and advisory
ecosystem were Gopi Pepakayala (AWS), Ravi Srivastava (Leo Capital)
and Venugopal Sathyanarayana (Blue Ashva Capital). 

Building
High-Signal, Community-Led Conversations

The
evening underscored GTM Unbound’s belief that the best GTM acceleration happens
when the right founders are in a room together. What unfolded were practical
conversations on everything from pricing experiments and global tax compliance
to the realities of scaling product-led motions in the U.S market.

This
community-led format reflects a core part of GTM Unbound’s mission: creating
spaces where founders share what’s working inside their companies, add
on-the-ground context, and investors offer a clear view of how the market is
shifting and where new opportunities are opening up.

Keeping
the group intentionally small helped everyone speak openly and go deeper into
the topics that mattered most to them. The result is an exchange that feels
more real, more actionable, and ultimately more valuable for founders
navigating the complexity of cross-border growth.

Aditi
Aggarwal, Founder of GTM Unbound, shared:

“This roundtable
reinforced the power of community-led growth. When founders, operators, and
investors come together in a room of trust, the quality of insight is
unmatched. Our goal is to create spaces where people don’t just network, they
gain direction, conviction, and long-term collaborators for their global
journey.”

<description><![CDATA[ Thursday,
12th Feb 2026 :
Narayana Hrudayalaya Limited (NHL) has partnered with Centre for CSR &amp;
Sustainability Excellence (CCSE), a social arm of Innovative Project Management
Services Pvt. Ltd. (IPMS) to launch a Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WaSH)
Program in Government Schools across Delhi and Gurugram. The main objective of
this program is to improve safe drinking water accessibility, along with
upgrading basic sanitation facilities and promoting menstrual hygiene. The
program also puts a special emphasis on girls and primary school students. 

The project started in January 2026 and
will continue until March 31, 2026. Supported by NHL financially, CCSE will be
responsible for all on-ground implementation and project management for this
project. As per the program, 5 government schools will benefit i.e., schools in
Gurugam near Narayana Hospital, DLF Cyber City and schools in Trilokpuri Delhi,
near Dharamshila Narayana Super Specialty Hospital. The initiative will provide
benefits to the primary and senior secondary students with an emphasis on
adolescent girls. 

The key interventions of the programs are
improving school infrastructure including toilet blocks, installing
child-friendly handwashing stations, and better and safer drinking water
systems. Along with these, other activities carried out were repairs to
plumbing and drainage systems, and establishing menstrual hygiene management
facilities. The program also conducted hygiene awareness campaigns,
behavior-change programs, water quality monitoring, etc. The School Management
Committees was given all the improved facilities. The expected outcomes of the
program include enhanced sanitation infrastructure and hygiene access, better
menstrual hygiene facilities, lowered absenteeism due to illness (leading to
increased attendance and well-being of the students), and sustainable upkeep of
facilities through active School Management Committees. 

From Narayana Hrudayalaya
Limited, Mr. Ankit Shrimali, CSR Head, stated: “This CSR
initiative will help improve school attendance and enable the girl child to
focus more effectively on her education and overall development.”

Dr. Soumitro Chakraborty, Chariman of CCSE said, “Access
to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities is fundamental to creating
dignified and inclusive learning environments. Through this collaboration, we
aim to deliver sustainable improvements that positively influence student
health, attendance, and well-being.”

The CSR initiative highlights NHL’s
strong commitment towards overall student well-beings through enhanced
sanitation and hygiene in the school. By combining infrastructure upgrades with
awareness and community engagement, the program aims to create safe, inclusive,
and child-friendly learning environments that provide lasting benefits for
students, schools, and the surrounding communities. ]]></description>

First and foremost, on
commemorating the milestone of 30 years, we would like to express our sincere
Gratitude to our incredible team, our loyal customers, and all our industry

a modest freight forwarding operation in New Delhi has transformed into a
critical link in the international supply chain. Everfast Freight has
successfully navigated the complexities of India&#039;s evolving economic landscape,
from the early days of liberalization to the current digital-first era. Today,

strategic offices.

 

The company&#039;s expansion
has been perpetual, ensuring a presence in India’s most vital commercial hubs.

established deep roots in industrial centers across India covering and
connecting all major Ocean ports, Airports, Inland Corridors and strategic
locations. This expansive infrastructure allows the company to offer expertise
with a truly global reach.

<title>Allpets Unveils Flagship ‘Clinic &amp;amp; Beyond’ in Hyderabad Sets Course for Pan&amp;India Expansion</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/allpets-unveils-flagship-clinic-beyond-in-hyderabad-sets-course-for-pan-india-expansion</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad,
February 12, 2026 : Allpets today marked a defining moment in
India’s pet healthcare sector with the launch of its flagship Clinic &amp;
Beyond facility at Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. Designed as a next-generation
veterinary hub, the new centre signals Allpets’ formal entry into large-scale,
organized expansion, positioning the brand to take advanced, standardized pet
healthcare beyond metro markets and into India’s fastest-growing Tier 2 and
Tier 3 cities.

The
launch event was headlined by acclaimed actor Mr. Jagapathi Babu, who addressed
guests and spoke on the evolving role of pets in Indian households and the
growing demand for modern, accessible veterinary infrastructure across the
country.

Founded
by Dr. Jasleen Kaur a decade ago, Allpets began as a single clinic built around
a simple idea that pets are family. Today, the platform has grown into a
trusted ecosystem serving over 15,000 pet parents, with more than 57,000
consultations and over 1,000 surgeries. The Hyderabad flagship represents the
next phase of this journey, bringing together advanced medical care,
diagnostics, 24x7 emergency services, pharmacy, grooming, hydrotherapy, boarding,
and dedicated care for cats and exotic pets under one integrated model.

Speaking
at the launch, Dr. Jasleen Kaur, Founder &amp; Chief Veterinarian, Allpets,
said, “This flagship is a statement of where veterinary care in India must go
next. Over the past decade, we have seen demand for higher standards, better
diagnostics, and structured clinical practices grow rapidly. Clinic &amp;
Beyond is built to meet that demand at scale by combining clinical expertise
with technology and operational rigor, and by taking advanced care to markets
that have long been underserved.”

The
launch also spotlighted the widening gap in organized veterinary infrastructure
outside major metros, where access to specialist care, advanced diagnostics,
and standardized clinical systems remains limited despite rapid growth in pet
ownership.

Mr.
M. Thirumalai, Co-Founder, Allpets, said, “Non-metro India represents the next
major growth engine for pet healthcare, but it requires a fundamentally
different operating model. Our Clinic &amp; Beyond platform is designed to
scale with consistency bringing structured systems, specialist access, and
tech-enabled workflows into cities that currently depend on fragmented,
single-doctor setups. This flagship marks the starting point of a national
build-out.”

The
Banjara Hills facility is equipped with in-house digital X-ray, ultrasound,
ECG, advanced pathology, hydrotherapy, and specialized wings for cats and
exotic pets, positioning it among the most comprehensive veterinary centres in
the region.

With
a phased expansion roadmap covering high-potential Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets
including Vizag, Coimbatore, Hubli, Nagpur, Surat, Bhubaneshwar, and Patna,
Allpets is building a platform designed to redefine how pet healthcare is
delivered outside India’s largest cities. The Hyderabad flagship is the
blueprint for a national network built to raise the bar for veterinary care
across India’s heartland. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, February 12, 2026 : Radico Khaitan, one of India’s largest
spirits companies, hosted an exclusive tasting of its recently launched Indian
single malt, Rampur 1943 Virasat, led by globally renowned whisky expert,
connoisseur and author of The Whisky Bible, Jim Murray. Held in the very
exclusive quarters of ITC Maurya, New Delhi, the event followed Murray’s visit
to the Rampur Distillery and showcased the craftsmanship behind the expression
while reflecting the growing international interest in Indian single malts.

The
tasting session saw Jim Murray guide spirit enthusiasts through the making and
maturation of Rampur 1943 Virasat. He highlighted how the expression derives
its distinctive character from six-row Indian barley grown in the foothills of the
Himalayas and from newly designed pot stills that preserve Rampur’s core
identity while enabling a more refined profile. Murray also elaborated on the
whisky’s maturation journey, beginning in American bourbon barrels and
concluding with a finishing period in ruby port pipes. He noted how North
India’s extreme climatic shifts, from intense summers to cold winters and
monsoons, accelerate ageing and contribute layers of depth, balance, and
complexity to the spirit.

Speaking
on the occasion, Mr. Abhishek Khaitan, Managing Director, Radico Khaitan
Ltd., said, “Welcoming Jim Murray to experience Rampur 1943 Virasat, and
to share his perspective after visiting our distillery, is a moment of
affirmation. It reflects how far Indian single malts have come over the past
decade, propelled not by circumstance, but by conviction, discipline, and an
uncompromising pursuit of excellence.

As
we celebrate a decade of perfection with Rampur Indian Single Malt, our new
innovation Rampur 1943 Virasat stands as a tribute to our legacy. At the same
time, the introduction of our new pot stills marks a transformative chapter for
us. They are designed to elevate and intensify flavour, crafting a profile that
resonates with a new generation of whisky drinkers, without ever compromising
the soul of Rampur.”

Mr.
Jim Murray, the whisky expert added, “Thirty-years ago
I put Rampur distillery on the whisky map by first visiting it and then writing
about it in my book Jim Murray’s Complete Book of Whisky. The oldest whisky of
this then fledgling distillery was just 18 months, and no decision had been
made to bottle it as a single malt. I strongly encouraged them that they
should: I definitely considered it good enough. Three decades on and I’m
officially now opening their latest stillhouse and tasting a new creation in
Virasat which has stretched their portfolio even wider. 

Amazingly,
in the 2026 Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible the nine Rampur single malts I reviewed
scored, on average, 91.9 points out of 100. That’s really some achievement. Having
tasted Virasat, I can’t see that average dropping any time soon.”

The
tasting brought together connoisseurs and industry stakeholders, further
highlighting the increasing recognition of Indian single malts within the
global whisky community.

Rampur
1943 Virasat draws inspiration from the legacy of the Rampur Distillery,
established in 1943, and represents decades of distilling expertise combined
with a contemporary approach to whisky-making. Crafted from select Indian
malted barley and matured under India’s unique climatic conditions, the
expression embodies a harmonious balance of tradition and innovation. ]]></description>

<title>Astrologer Shree Somok: Redefining the Dynamics of Vedic Astrology Through Practical Life Guidance</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Kolkata (West Bengal)[India], [January 12] : Vedic astrology, one of India’s most ancient knowledge systems, is
undergoing a notable transformation in how it is understood and applied in
modern life. Once viewed largely as a predictive or belief-driven practice,
astrology today is increasingly being recognized as a structured framework for
self-awareness and informed decision-making. Among the practitioners
contributing to this shift is Astrologer Shree Somok, whose work has
helped redefine how Vedic astrology is approached and applied.

 

Traditionally, astrology was often associated
with future predictions and ritual-based remedies. However, changing
lifestyles, professional pressures, and emotional challenges have led people to
seek more practical and responsible forms of guidance. This shift has encouraged
astrologers to move beyond generalized forecasts and focus on personalized,
solution-oriented analysis. Shree Somok’s practice reflects this evolving
dynamic.

 

According to observers within the astrology
community, Shree Somok’s approach emphasizes understanding life patterns rather
than predicting outcomes in isolation. By closely studying individual birth
charts, planetary transits, and life cycles, he encourages people to develop
awareness of recurring themes, strengths, and challenges. This method allows
individuals to approach decisions with clarity rather than dependency.

 

Astrology’s growing relevance can be seen
across various segments of society, including working professionals,
entrepreneurs, students, and families. Career transitions, business planning,
relationship concerns, and emotional well-being are among the most common areas
where people seek astrological insight. Rather than offering definitive
answers, Shree Somok focuses on timing, preparedness, and personal
responsibility.

 

Industry experts note that this shift aligns
with broader trends in holistic living and self-development. People
increasingly value tools that support reflection, emotional balance, and
long-term planning. Astrology, when practiced responsibly, offers a structured
perspective that complements logical reasoning and personal effort.

 

A defining aspect of Shree Somok’s work is his
emphasis on education and transparency. He encourages individuals to understand
the fundamentals of astrology rather than accept guidance without context. This
approach has helped demystify the subject and reduce fear-based perceptions
that have historically surrounded astrological consultations.

 

Astrology’s role in emotional well-being has
also gained attention. Understanding planetary influences can help individuals
recognize periods of heightened stress, emotional sensitivity, or opportunity.
This awareness supports mindful responses to challenges rather than impulsive
reactions. Practitioners note that such insight contributes to emotional
resilience and mental balance.

 

Over the years, Astrologer Shree Somok has
received recognition for his disciplined and ethical approach to Vedic
astrology. His work has been acknowledged through awards and honors conferred
by astrology forums, cultural organizations, and spiritual institutions that
promote traditional Indian knowledge systems. These recognitions reflect peer
acknowledgment of his contribution to the field.

 

In addition to awards, Shree Somok holds
certifications in Vedic astrology and related disciplines, earned through
formal training and mentorship under experienced practitioners. Continuous
learning, participation in conferences, and engagement with scholarly
discussions have been integral to his professional development. Such credentials
have become increasingly relevant as audiences seek credibility and
accountability in advisory services.

 

Recognition in the field of astrology today
extends beyond formal honors. Trust built through long-term consultations,
referrals, and consistent guidance plays a significant role in shaping a
practitioner’s standing. Observers note that Shree Somok’s growing reach
reflects a sustained interest in astrology that prioritizes clarity and ethical
practice.

 

Relationship analysis is another area where modern
astrology is being applied thoughtfully. Compatibility studies, communication
patterns, and emotional tendencies are examined to help individuals better
understand interpersonal dynamics. Rather than prescribing outcomes, astrology
offers insight into differences and similarities, fostering empathy and
constructive dialogue.

 

Health and lifestyle awareness also form part
of contemporary astrological discussions. While astrology does not replace
medical science, it can highlight periods of stress, energy imbalance, or
lifestyle patterns that may require attention. When used responsibly and
alongside professional advice, such insights contribute to overall well-being.

<title>padho.ai: The AI&amp;Powered Learning Platform That Understands How Every Child Thinks</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/padhoai-the-ai-powered-learning-platform-that-understands-how-every-child-thinks</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/padhoai-the-ai-powered-learning-platform-that-understands-how-every-child-thinks</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ BENGALURU :
Built by IIT alumni and engineers from Flipkart and Uber, padho.ai has launched
an AI-powered learning platform that combines a Digital Brain Twin, an advanced
interactive learning interface, and proprietary mastery algorithms to give
every student a 1:1 AI mentor, available 24/7 in their own language.

India has over 250 million school-going
children and technology finally makes it possible to give each one personalized
attention. Traditional and online classrooms, where a single teacher manages 40
to 80 students, weren&#039;t built for individualization. The curriculum moves at
one pace. A child who struggles with fractions in Class 6 moves to Class 7
anyway, where algebra assumes mastery of those foundations. Learning gaps
accumulate. But this isn&#039;t a failure of teachers or students, it&#039;s a limitation
of scale. And until now, quality personalized teaching has been available
primarily in metropolitan areas. AI changes that equation.

India&#039;s first wave of edtech largely focused
on exam preparation through crash courses, test series, and rank predictions.
These platforms optimised for scores rather than deep understanding, and much
of the coaching culture moved online.

padho.ai takes a different approach. It is a
learning-first platform designed to develop genuine conceptual understanding
that does not fade after exams. This aligns with India&#039;s National Education
Policy (NEP) 2020, which calls for a shift from rote memorisation toward
competency-based and formative assessment that emphasises analysis, critical thinking,
and conceptual clarity. NEP 2020 envisions education as holistic, experiential,
and learner-centric, and padho.ai aims to support this vision at scale through
AI.

padho.ai maps millions of granular skills as
&quot;neurons&quot; in each student&#039;s cognitive model, connected through a
concept map—a structured graph where every skill is linked to its foundational
prerequisites. Powered by proprietary algorithms rooted in Bayesian Knowledge
Tracing (BKT) and Item Response Theory (IRT), the system continuously updates
its belief about what each student knows and when they&#039;re likely to forget it.
When a student struggles, the platform traverses the concept map backward to
find the root gap—even grades earlier and rebuilds from there.

The platform offers a visual notebook where
the AI mentor and student think together—drawing, annotating, rendering
equations, graphs, and interactive visualizations in real time. The notebook
replicates the collaborative intimacy of one-on-one tutoring digitally. Every
stroke, hesitation, and question feeds the algorithms, making learning
measurable at a granularity no classroom could achieve.

Every session is generated in real time,
adapted to the student&#039;s pace, and delivered through Socratic dialogue and not
pre-recorded lectures. The AI mentor asks, &quot;walk me through how you got
there&quot;—creating a safe environment where students learn without fear. It
is available 24/7 in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and six other
Indian languages, thus bringing quality education to tier 2 and tier 3 cities,
towns, and rural areas across India.

The platform works across mobiles, laptops,
and tablets, with every learning session functioning as a live class tailored
to each student&#039;s strengths and weaknesses.

The platform currently offers mathematics
content aligned to CBSE, ICSE and State Boards, extending to JEE, NEET and
Olympiad preparation, alongside Science, Computer Science and related subjects.

Since entering pilot phase three months ago,
the platform has attracted more than 1,000 students organically. The youngest
learner of the platform, a Grade-2 student, achieved international ranks in
both IMO and NSO.

Education is a fundamental right in India and
padho.ai aims to make it equal for all. Entirely bootstrapped and growing
organically, the platform reflects a vision in which the school of the future
is not a building, but an interface that adapts to every child.

The platform emphasises helping students
develop a deep understanding of concepts rather than preparing them solely for
exams. The approach is based on the belief that strong conceptual foundations
support improved performance over time, particularly when students encounter
unfamiliar problems.

As generative AI tools become increasingly
prevalent in education, platforms like padho.ai represent an emerging category
of AI designed not to provide answers faster, but to develop thinking skills
more effectively. Whether this teaching-first model can scale alongside India&#039;s
exam-centric system remains to be seen, but early adoption across age groups
suggests growing interest in alternatives to answer-on-demand learning.

<description><![CDATA[ Erode,
Feb. 11, 2026 : Texvalley hosted a focused Franchisee–Investor
Meet in Erode bringing together leading National and International
conglomerates.  Home-grown enterprises
from Tamil Nadu and the Kongu region also participated. The meet enabled
prospective franchisees and investors to explore expansion opportunities across
fashion, lifestyle, electronics, wellness, food &amp; beverage, services and
emerging consumer formats. Fortune City is Texvalley’s upcoming
integrated commercial, business and lifestyle destination.

Structured
as a strategic engagement platform, the meet provided participants with
detailed insights into Fortune City’s scale, infrastructure, zoning strategy
and phased development roadmap. Presentations outlined the project’s
positioning as a multi-sector business ecosystem designed to accommodate
diverse consumer segments under one destination, offering clarity on space
formats, investment structures and long-term growth potential.

The
scope of association opportunities with major corporate groups was formally presented
during the meet. The organisers showcased expansion prospects of leading
conglomerates such as Aditya Birla Fashion &amp; Retail Ltd, Arvind
Brands, Landmark Group, Trent Ltd (Tata Group), Reliance Group
brands among others, leading international and domestic F&amp;B brands. 

In
addition, established national brands, emerging international concepts and
strong regional enterprises were exhibited, providing investors with a
comprehensive spectrum of partnership opportunities.

Investors
engaged in structured one-on-one discussions with the consultants to evaluate
franchise models, capital commitments, operational frameworks, site
specifications and revenue potential. Organisers observed that the depth and
seriousness of interactions reflected increasing investor confidence in
organised, multi-sector developments and franchise-led expansion in Tier-3
growth centres such as Erode.

Highlighting
the response, Mr. Kabilan Devarajan, Managing Director, URC Group and
Promoter of Texvalley, stated that the meet reaffirmed Texvalley’s
long-term vision of positioning Erode as a dynamic commercial and investment
hub.

“The
response received has been extremely encouraging. The quality of investor
interactions and the seriousness of discussions clearly demonstrate the growing
appetite for organised investments in this region.

Fortune
City offers the right mix of footfall potential, infrastructure and strategic
location, and the outcome of this meet reinforces the confidence that both
brands and investors have in Erode as a promising market.”

Sharing
his perspective, Mr. S. Shriram, Founder, Miles2Go Consulting Services,
noted that the meet enabled investors to evaluate multiple brand associations
across product retail and F&amp;B opportunities within a consolidated
framework.

“The
platform provided investors with a comprehensive view of diverse business
formats, capital requirements and growth trajectories across leading
conglomerates and growth brands. The strong engagement underlines the
increasing recognition of Erode and the Kongu region as reliable expansion
markets.

Curated
initiatives like this play a vital role in bridging the gap between brands and
investors and in facilitating informed and confident investment decisions.”

A
positive and forward-looking sentiment prevailed throughout the meet, with
several investors initiating structured follow-up discussions and expressing
intent to take potential partnerships forward. The strong response signals
significant momentum for franchise-led expansion at Fortune City and continued
growth of organised consumer businesses in Western Tamil Nadu.

Texvalley
has invited interested franchisees and investors to explore partnership
opportunities at the upcoming Fortune City, with further engagement
initiatives scheduled in February and March to build on the strong response
received.

<title>European Flour Reshapes India’s Artisanal Baking Boom</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/european-flour-reshapes-indias-artisanal-baking-boom</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Cafes and patisseries
across India are embracing a renaissance in baking – one that celebrates
freshness, authenticity and quality. As consumers develop a taste for artisanal
breads, delicate pastries, and authentic pizzas, the demand for superior
ingredients has never been higher.

To meet this need, Pure
Flour from Europe, a promotional programme led by the Italian Milling Industry
Association (ITALMOPA) and co-funded by the European Union, has entered the
market. The initiative aims to introduce Europe’s finest flours – renowned
for their quality, flavour, and consistency – to India’s professional
baking community.

European flour adheres
to some of the world&#039;s most stringent regulatory standards. Every batch
reflects advanced milling technology and meticulous quality control that ensure
product integrity from grain selection to final packaging. For chefs and
bakers, this means dependable performance and better texture across a wide
range of baked goods from crisp-crusted pizzas to fresh pastas.

The programme connects
centuries of Italian milling heritage with modern innovation, delivering safe
and quality ingredients tailored to professional kitchens. As the bakery and
cafe culture matures, Pure Flour from Europe
positions itself as a trusted partner for culinary professionals seeking to
elevate their creations and build trust in ingredient quality. The emphasis on
using European flour helps bridge the gap between technical learning and
real-world application in commercial kitchens.

By having European
milling standards meet the aspirations of India’s next generation of bakers, Pure
Flour from Europe is looking to nurture talent, encourage
innovation and contribute to the growth of a quality-focused baking community.

<title>Verzii.Com &amp; India’s First Owned Social Media Platform Empowering Creators</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/verziicom-indias-first-owned-social-media-platform-empowering-creators</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/verziicom-indias-first-owned-social-media-platform-empowering-creators</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, Feb 2026 : A 29 year old young and dynamic Founder
&amp; CEO Mr
Nandan Patel, an MBA graduate specialized in Competitive Intelligence
and Strategic Management and trained at IIT Roorkee in Strategic Product
Management, is on a mission to build India’s own digital stage. Drawing on over
five years of diverse corporate experience, Patel has launched Verzii, India’s first owned social media platform
proudly “Made in India,” aimed at empowering
Indian creators.
 

Verzii has
rolled out with “a strong commitment to creator ownership, authentic
visibility, and sustainable monetisation.” In practical
terms, this means every Indian blogger, artist, or influencer gets full control
of their content and a fair share of earnings - a bold contrast to the opaque
algorithms of global tech giants. As India’s
first owned social media platform, Verzii represents a
structural shift toward self-reliant digital ecosystems.
 

A Vision Rooted in “Vocal for Local” and
Swadeshi Values

 

Patel’s personal
dedication is inseparable from India’s patriotic call for self-reliance.
Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Vocal for Local” campaign,
he often reiterates the belief that India must build, support, and scale its
own digital platforms.


Speaking about his vision, Nandan Patel states:

 

&quot;I would like to invite all the Indians across
the world, and related people to uplift Verzii,
and take this local for vocal Verzii, made in India to make it available for
the world.&quot;


Verzii.com stands as a practical embodiment of this belief - India’s
first owned social media platform designed to ensure that
Indian voices, data, creativity, and revenue remain within the country’s
ecosystem. At a time when India is entering a pivotal digital phase, Verzii
positions itself as an India-first alternative focused on privacy, trust, and
local relevance.


Educated and Empathetic Leadership

 

Patel’s academic
background and rigorous product training provide strategic clarity, but it is
his emotional commitment to creators and national pride that truly
drives Verzii. He strongly believes Indian creators should not merely fuel
foreign platforms but should grow as empowered digital entrepreneurs within an
Indian-owned ecosystem.
 

Empowering Creators Through Fair Features

 

Verzii’s architecture
reflects a deep understanding of creator challenges:
 

•        
Multi-Format Creator
Ownership:

Creators can publish
long-form blogs across diverse categories such as technology, education,
politics, lifestyle, and travel, alongside videos and multimedia content - while
retaining full ownership.

 

·      
 Mood-Based Discovery:

Users select their
intent - learning, inspiration, or entertainment - and the platform intelligently
serves relevant content. This ensures authentic reach for both new and established
creators.

 

•        
Fair Monetisation &amp;
Engagement:

Creators earn
transparently between ₹5 and ₹10 per thousand views, complemented by engagement
tools such as polls, discussions, and challenges - fostering trust and sustainability.

 

•        
Community-Centric,
Transparent Ecosystem:

Brands, creators, and
communities coexist in a structured and transparent environment with clear
analytics, open metrics, and trust-driven partnerships.

 

These features collectively reinforce Verzii’s promise as India’s first
owned social media

 

platform championing creator dignity and fairness.


Digital Self-Reliance and a Proud Future

 

Beyond technology, Verzii is a step toward digital
swaraj. Patel emphasizes
that India-owned platforms are critical for data sovereignty, cultural
representation, and national security. Built with Indian vision and
intent, Verzii.Com symbolizes
India’s confidence in shaping its own digital future.
 

For Nandan Patel, Verzii is more than a startup - it is a
national movement. A platform created by Indians, owned by Indians, and
designed for the world. As early adoption grows, Verzii signals the beginning of a new
chapter where Indian creators rise - not just in reach and revenue, but in
pride.

<title>GTM Unbound Expands to Hyderabad, Bringing Together 200 AI Founders and Investors</title>

<description><![CDATA[ On
January 22 and 23, Hyderabad’s startup ecosystem came together across
two thoughtfully curated gatherings that highlighted the collective strength of
the city’s entrepreneurial community. Hosted by GTM Unbound in
collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), FinStackk, Efficient
Capital Labs (ECL), Sorin Investments and Dallas Venture Capital,
the two day initiative brought together over 200 founders and investors
across complementary formats.

Hyderabad
has steadily emerged as a city where ambitious AI founders are building for
scale with global intent and these events reflected that momentum. The partners
involved represented critical pillars of the startup journey, spanning capital,
revenue infrastructure and cloud enablement. Together, they created a platform
that felt grounded in real founder needs rather than surface level networking.

The
first evening, held on January 22, opened with an engaging conversation
featuring Chaitanya Peddi, Co-founder at Darwinbox. His reflections on
building global SaaS and AI companies from India resonated deeply with the
audience, many of whom were navigating similar challenges of scale, culture and
long term vision. The conversation set an honest tone, which naturally carried
into the curated mixer that followed. Founders exchanged perspectives on
growth, hiring and product decisions in an environment that encouraged openness
and thoughtful dialogue.



The
gathering on January 23 extended these conversations in a more focused
setting, allowing founders to engage deeply on topics around capital
efficiency, go to market strategy and sustainable growth. With partners like
FinStackk and Efficient Capital Labs and in the room, discussions
around financing and revenue based models felt practical and grounded. AWS
added further depth, reflecting the ecosystem’s growing emphasis on strong
infrastructure and scalable systems from early stages.

Across
both days, the events underscored a defining trait of Hyderabad’s startup
community: a willingness to learn from one another and build collaboratively. Founders
at different stages shared experiences freely, creating a space where ambition
was matched by humility and mutual respect.

By
the end of the two days, what stood out was not just the scale of
participation, but the sense of alignment between founders and ecosystem
partners. GTM Unbound and its collaborators succeeded in creating a
platform that felt intentional and founder first, reinforcing Hyderabad’s
position as a city where meaningful companies are being built through shared
knowledge and strong community ties.

As
GTM Unbound looks ahead to the first quarter, this momentum continues beyond
Hyderabad. The platform is set to expand its presence into the Middle East
and Singapore, while also bringing its AI founder gatherings to ten
cities across India, deepening its commitment to building founder-first
ecosystems across geographies. ]]></description>

<title>Are Flower Hampers Becoming the New Valentine’s Favourite</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Valentine’s
Day gifting is not changing in obvious ways. It is changing in the smaller
choices people make when they pick something for their loved ones. Flowers are
still at the centre of the day. What feels different now is how people are
choosing to send them. Flower hampers are being picked more often along with
traditional Valentine gifts, usually when someone wants the gift to feel a
little more personal.

 

There
was a time when Valentine’s gifting followed a predictable rhythm. People
chose Valentine&#039; Day flowers, most often as a single
bouquet, and that gesture was enough to mark the occasion. That pattern has
gradually softened. In 2026, people are still choosing flowers. But now they
are pairing them with elements that feel connected to shared routines or
memories. Hampers fit into this shift because they allow one gesture to carry
multiple signals without feeling excessive.

 

Seasonal
gifting activity in India continues to show strong participation during
February. Industry estimates suggest Valentine’s flower sales alone move
between ₹500 crore and ₹3,500 crore, depending on demand cycles and regional
buying behaviour. The scale itself is not the only point of interest. What
stands out is how that spending is being distributed. There is a growing
movement towards curated combinations. This change suggests buyers are looking
for gifts that feel complete at the moment of delivery. 

 

Valentine’s
gifting expectations now vary more across relationship stages than they did
earlier. Someone newly dating often looks for something thoughtful but
balanced. Long-term partners often lean towards gestures that feel familiar
rather than dramatic. Some people are also choosing to acknowledge emotional
connections beyond romantic partners. This wider participation naturally
supports formats that can adapt across contexts. Hampers fit into this space
because the contents can shift depending on the relationship, without changing
the core emotional message carried by flowers.

 

Flowers
remain central to Valentine’s Day. Their meaning does not require explanation.
The noticeable change is how people are building around that meaning. A bouquet
communicates a single emotional note. A hamper allows the sender to add
references, flavours, or details that feel closer to the receiver’s
personality. The flower remains the anchor, but the surrounding elements make
the gesture feel more intentional.

 

The
growth of online flower delivery has also shaped how people
approach gifting decisions. Buying flowers is no longer tied to being
physically present in a store or making quick decisions close to the date.
People now browse across days, save options, and return later before placing an
order. That browsing behaviour naturally exposes buyers to more curated
formats. 

 

Another
noticeable shift is the growing importance of experience in gifting. People are
paying more attention to how a gift is received, not just what it contains.
Hampers create a layered interaction. The receiver does not engage with
everything at once. There is a sequence to opening and discovering each
element. That pacing makes the moment feel more involved, especially in
celebrations that already carry emotional weight.

 

Distance
continues to shape gifting behaviour as well. Many relationships now function
across cities or countries for long periods of time. Sending flowers has always
been a way to bridge that gap. Hampers extend that idea by allowing senders to
recreate something that feels closer to a shared moment. Instead of sending a
single symbolic item, they can send something that feels more like a small
celebration arriving at the doorstep.

 

Brands
in floral gifting are adapting to new habits. They are changing how flowers are
offered. They are not changing what flowers mean. Interflora shows this shift
well. The brand started in 1908. It has built a large florist network over
time. Today, it connects thousands of florists. It works in more than 140
countries. This wide reach helps flowers travel across borders. They still feel
local and fresh. This fits how modern relationships work across different
places.

 

Valentine’s
Day today is not followed in one fixed way anymore. Flowers continue to hold
emotional priority in how the day is celebrated. What is changing is how those
flowers are being presented and experienced. If current patterns continue,
flower hampers are likely to remain part of how Valentine’s gifting evolves,
not because they replace traditional flowers, but because they allow people to
express more context within a single gesture.

<title>New Research by TeachBetter.ai Reveals How Teachers Are Using AI to Redefine Education</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/new-research-by-teachbetterai-reveals-how-teachers-are-using-ai-to-redefine-education</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/new-research-by-teachbetterai-reveals-how-teachers-are-using-ai-to-redefine-education</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Delhi, India — [11 February 2026] : As
artificial intelligence rapidly enters education systems worldwide, a critical
question remains unanswered: how are teachers actually using AI in real
classrooms?Today, TeachBetter.ai released a landmark research report, “How Teachers Are Using AI to Transform
Education,” highlighting top 10 teacher-led use cases of AI, alongside the
launch of TeachBetter.ai Version 4.0, introducing a powerful Live
Quiz &amp; Poll Generator to enable real-time assessment, response capture,
and immediate feedback, all done within seconds.

Based on one year of anonymised platform
usage data and qualitative feedback from thousands of educators, the report
marks a shift in the AI-in-education conversation—from speculation to evidence,
and from tools to teaching transformation.

From
Hype to Habit: What the Research Reveals

The report’s most important finding is clear: AI
adoption in education is already happening—but in very specific, teacher-led
ways.

Analysis of TeachBetter.ai
platform usage, spanning over 115,000 resource generations and 30,000
users reveals that teachers are increasingly embedding AI into core
instructional workflows such as lesson planning, assessment, and classroom
preparation. This pattern of usage demonstrates that AI delivers its greatest
value when it is applied to transform teaching through teacher-first platforms,
rather than being used merely to automate or outsource isolated tasks via
generic chatbots.

Top 10 Teacher-Led AI Use Cases Identified in Real Classrooms

Based on analysis of real usage data from the
TeachBetter.ai platform, the research identifies ten recurring AI use cases
that now define how teachers are integrating AI into everyday teaching. Below
are the five most dominant patterns, representing the highest adoption
among active teachers:

●      AI-powered
lesson planning has become foundational, with 55% of
teachers using AI to design lessons as part of their regular workflow.

●      Assessment
design is scaling rapidly, as 48% of teachers rely on AI to
create quizzes and worksheets efficiently.

●      Teaching
is shifting toward visual-first instruction, with 35% of
teachers using AI-generated presentations to explain concepts.

●      Academic
and institutional writing is being streamlined, as
32% of teachers use AI for structured documentation and communication.

●     
Concepts are increasingly taught through
experiences rather than theory, with 28% of teachers using AI to
design activities and projects.

The full research report details all ten
teacher-led AI use cases. Download Full Report.

“The evidence shows that teachers are not
using AI to replace teaching, but to transform it,” the
report notes. When delivered through teacher-first platforms, AI is helping
classrooms shift away from rote memorisation toward deeper understanding and
real-world application—aligned with the pedagogical direction of India’s NEP
2020.

A key driver of this transformation is time
recovery. Teachers using AI on TeachBetter.ai save an average of 4.7
hours per week, time that is largely reinvested into student mentoring, concept
clarification, and differentiated instruction rather than administrative work.
This finding reframes AI’s value proposition:

“AI’s impact is not in saving time, but in
expanding what teachers can do with it—making teaching transformation possible
at scale.” — Binit Agarwalla, Founder, TeachBetter.ai

TeachBetter.ai
Version 4.0 Launch: Enabling Teachers to Create Online Quizzes in Seconds

This research shows a clear shift: teachers
are moving beyond using AI only for preparation and are beginning to embed it
directly into everyday teaching. TeachBetter.ai Version 4.0 reflects this
transition, prioritising application-driven instruction and real-time
classroom use over simple task automation.

The Live Quiz &amp; Poll Generator
exemplifies this shift—enabling teachers to create online quizzes and polls,
instantly share links, capture responses, auto-grade, and deliver immediate
feedback. What previously took hours can now be done in seconds.

More broadly, TeachBetter.ai functions as quiet
teaching infrastructure, reducing cognitive load while expanding classroom
capability through:

●      20+
AI tools spanning planning, instruction, assessment, creativity, and revision

●      100+
interactive simulations across STEM subjects

●      80+
language support, including Indian languages

●      Zero
learning curve, with no prompt engineering or technical
training required

●     
A single, integrated platform,
replacing fragmented tools and workflows

Teachers
Speak: What AI Adoption Really Looks Like on the Ground

Across urban and rural schools in India and
globally, teachers describe a consistent shift in how AI platforms like
TeachBetter.ai are becoming part of everyday teaching:

●      From
rote practice to conc ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Delhi, India — [11 February 2026] : </span></b><span>As artificial intelligence rapidly enters education systems worldwide, a critical question remains unanswered: <i>how are teachers actually using AI in real classrooms?</i>Today, </span><a href="https://teachbetter.ai/"><b><span>TeachBetter.ai</span></b></a><span> released a landmark </span><a href="https://teachbetter.ai/how-teachers-are-using-ai-to-transform-education/"><span>research report</span></a><span>, <b>“How Teachers Are Using AI to Transform Education,”</b> highlighting top 10 teacher-led use cases of AI, alongside the launch of <b>TeachBetter.ai Version 4.0</b>, introducing a powerful <b>Live Quiz &amp; Poll Generator</b> to enable real-time assessment, response capture, and immediate feedback, all done within seconds.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based on <b>one year of anonymised platform usage data and qualitative feedback from thousands of educators</b>, the report marks a shift in the AI-in-education conversation—from speculation to evidence, and from tools to teaching transformation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><a name="_xf3vipe8ba1g"></a><b><span>From Hype to Habit: What the Research Reveals</span></b></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The report’s most important finding is clear: <b>AI adoption in education is already happening—but in very specific, teacher-led ways</b>.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Analysis of </span><a href="https://teachbetter.ai/"><span>TeachBetter.ai</span></a><span> platform usage, spanning over <b>115,000 resource generations </b>and <b>30,000 users</b> reveals that teachers are increasingly embedding AI into core instructional workflows such as lesson planning, assessment, and classroom preparation. This pattern of usage demonstrates that AI delivers its greatest value when it is applied to transform teaching through teacher-first platforms, rather than being used merely to automate or outsource isolated tasks via generic chatbots.</span></p>

<h3><a name="_v9he33fmhcw7"></a><b><span>Top 10 Teacher-Led AI Use Cases Identified in Real Classrooms</span></b></h3>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Based on analysis of real usage data from the TeachBetter.ai platform, the research identifies <b>ten recurring AI use cases</b> that now define how teachers are integrating AI into everyday teaching. Below are the <b>five most dominant patterns</b>, representing the highest adoption among active teachers:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span>●<span>      </span></span><!--[endif]--><b><span>AI-powered lesson planning has become foundational</span></b><span>, with <b>55% of teachers</b> using AI to design lessons as part of their regular workflow.</span></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>“The evidence shows that teachers are not using AI to replace teaching, but to transform it,”</span></b><span> the report notes. When delivered through teacher-first platforms, AI is helping classrooms shift away from rote memorisation toward deeper understanding and real-world application—aligned with the pedagogical direction of <b>India’s NEP 2020</b>.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>A key driver of this transformation is <b>time recovery</b>. Teachers using AI on TeachBetter.ai save an average of <b>4.7 hours per week</b>, time that is largely reinvested into student mentoring, concept clarification, and differentiated instruction rather than administrative work. This finding reframes AI’s value proposition:</span></p>

<h2><a name="_3u22whipgqt3"></a><b><span>TeachBetter.ai Version 4.0 Launch: Enabling Teachers to Create Online Quizzes in Seconds</span></b></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>This research shows a clear shift: teachers are moving beyond using AI only for preparation and are beginning to embed it directly into everyday teaching. <b>TeachBetter.ai Version 4.0 reflects this transition</b>, prioritising application-driven instruction and real-time classroom use over simple task automation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The <b>Live Quiz &amp; Poll Generator</b> exemplifies this shift—enabling teachers to create online quizzes and polls, instantly share links, capture responses, auto-grade, and deliver immediate feedback.

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The research makes one thing clear: while AI’s potential in education is evident, <b>mass adoption remains the real challenge</b>. Teachers continue to face barriers of cost, complexity, and poor alignment with classroom realities—keeping AI usage stuck at automation rather than true teaching transformation.</span></p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>This moment represents a critical inflection point. The next phase of AI adoption in education will be defined not by novelty, but by <b>scale, simplicity, and sustainability</b>, with teacher-first design and integrated infrastructure at its core.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Realising this future will require collective effort across governments, institutions, and technology providers. </span><a href="https://teachbetter.ai/"><b><span>TeachBetter.ai</span></b></a><b><span>, founded by NIT and IIM alumnus </span></b><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/binit-agarwalla/"><b><span>Binit Agarwalla</span></b></a><b><span> and </span></b><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/vipinalpha89/"><b><span>Vipin Kumar</span></b></a><span>, is contributing to this shift by building AI as quiet teaching infrastructure—comprehensive yet simple, affordable, and designed for mass adoption—helping classrooms move from rote memorization to deeper understanding and real-world application.</span></p>

<title>From relapse to remission: What an indigenous CAR&amp;T therapy signals for India’s cancer market</title>

<description><![CDATA[ When Dr Arora was diagnosed with
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2022, she crossed overnight from a practising doctor
to a patient. Her recovery with ImmunoACT’s indigenous CAR-T therapy now sits at the intersection of medicine and markets, drawing
interest in whether
an Indian company
can sustainably manufacture, price, and scale one
of the world’s
most complex cancer
treatments.

 

Two years after its commercial launch, ImmunoACT’s NexCAR19 has been administered
to more than
600 patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (r/r
ALL) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). The therapy is priced at a fraction of
the ₹4–10 crore range typically
associated with imported CAR-T products, a differential that directly
shapes access in India’s largely
self-pay oncology market.

 

CAR-T, in simple terms, is a personalised treatment
in which a patient’s
own immune T- cells are genetically modified to recognise and kill cancer cells, then infused back into
the body. Following
Dr Arora’s diagnosis in 2022, she was first treated at Rajiv Gandhi
Cancer Institute. Standard therapies initially worked, but she later relapsed.

 

That clinical setback led her to Tata Memorial Hospital, one of the apex centres in India equipped
to deliver cell and gene therapies. At Tata Memorial, Dr Arora received
NexCAR19 under a specialist team. Over the following months, she recovered and eventually
returned to medical practice. Individual outcomes vary, but such recoveries
feed into a larger debate on whether
CAR-T can move beyond “last-resort” use if durability holds up over
time.

 

ImmunoACT’s NexCAR19
holds a US patent as the world’s first humanised CAR-T therapy, a design choice that the company says may reduce severe side effects
such as cytokine
release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome
(ICANS). Durability of response is also emerging as a key metric. Patients like Dr Arora,
who have remained in complete
remission for more than
two years after infusion,
suggest the therapy may deliver sustained
benefit. In CAR-T globally, long-term remission is what ultimately
justifies both the clinical risk and the upfront cost.

 

“Relapse felt like the ground
slipping beneath my feet. But receiving timely CAR-T treatment gave me another chance—not just to live, but to return to the
life I love. I stand here as proof that relapse is not the end; it can be a new beginning. Post-CAR-T treatment, I have
been cancer-free for more than two and a half years and have
resumed my clinical practice and family life,” Dr Arora shared with our team.

 

A treating
clinician at Tata Memorial Hospital added: “Stories like Dr Arora’s reflect how
far cell and gene therapy
has progressed. At Tata Memorial Hospital, we have witnessed
many similar successes with indigenous CAR-T therapy, where patients have remained
disease-free for extended
periods. This marks a real turning point in the treatment of difficult blood
cancers.”

 

From an economics and manufacturing standpoint, the affordability narrative rests on
domestic production. ImmunoACT’s NexCAR19 is fully manufactured in India, avoiding
the cost and time associated with shipping patient cells overseas or
importing raw materials or the finished product. The company cites what it describes as best-in-the-
world control over manufacturing success rates, logistics, and a turnaround time of around 17–20 days.

 

Policy and payor support
will be critical
for wider uptake
of CAR-T therapies
in India, where most patients continue
to fund treatment out of pocket, with limited private insurance
coverage and uneven reimbursement from state schemes.
To ease this access barrier, ImmunoACT has launched ‘The Hope
Initiative’ in partnership with Mango Sciences, offering two patient-support programmes—Bridge Financing and Value-Based
Pricing. The Bridge Financing
programme provides a ₹10 lakh loan at 0% interest EMIs to address
cash-flow constraints during treatment, while the Value-Based Pricing programme offers a rebate on the
overall cost if a patient relapses within 12
months. The company recently announced the
onboarding of its first patient under ‘The Hope Initiative’ on World Cancer
Day via its social media
channels.

 

Dr Arora’s journey is more than a personal
victory—it is a glimpse into the future of cancer care in India, where innovation, accessibility, and human resilience come together to offer
patients something priceless: a real second chance at life. For the industry, regulators, and investors, what to watch next are
longer-term efficacy results, transparent disclosures on safety data and patient
profiles, and whether
insurers or government payors move to formally
reimburse CAR-T therapies in India.

<title>How U.S. Expansion Is Becoming a Strategic Residency Tool for Indian Owners Looking Forward to Citizenship</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The United States
of America is long dubbed the land of opportunity. It is one of the most
coveted destinations for immigrants worldwide. For generations, Indians have
been among the most motivated and aspirational participants in this grand
narrative of migration. Be it driven by economic opportunity, education, family
unification, or the promise of stability and belonging, millions look toward
U.S. citizenship as a way to secure a future for themselves and their progeny.

In recent years, a
significant shift in U.S. immigration processes has elevated
investment-based immigration from a minor strategy to a core tool in the
playbook of Indian individuals and families seeking permanent residency and
ultimately citizenship. With traditional U.S. immigration routes facing
unprecedented backlogs, programs such as the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa have
emerged as strategic pathways.

American
citizenship conveys not just legal status, but socio-economic mobility. It offers
the right to live and work without restrictions, full access to social and
economic benefits, educational opportunities for children, and the security to
establish generational roots. In contrast with temporary visas (such as H-1B
work visas or F-1 student visas), which impose conditions on employment or
studies, citizenship is the “final stop,” a place of permanence.

Yet the journey to
this destination has become markedly tougher in recent years. Alongside global
socio-political issues and tightening immigration policies in several Western
countries, the U.S. immigration system faces one of the most severe backlogs in
its history.

The scale of the
backlog across U.S. visa categories is staggering. There are more than 11
million immigration cases pending across all visa categories, leading to
multi-year waits for skilled professionals and families alike.

For Indian
nationals, particularly those in employment-based categories such as EB-2 and
EB-3, these waits can stretch to a decade or more, depending on priority date
retrogression and country caps. During this period, many applicants remain on
temporary status, often tied to an employer or restricted by visa limitations.

As these
bottlenecks intensify, Indian investors and entrepreneurs have begun to view
investment as a viable and strategic route to permanent residency, offering
greater certainty in an otherwise congested system.
“For many Indian professionals and business families, investment-based
immigration has evolved from being an alternative option to a calculated
strategy to regain control over timelines and long-term stability in the U.S.,”
says Naresh M. Gehi, Esq.

The EB-5 visa,
established by the U.S. Congress in 1990, was designed to encourage foreign
investment into the U.S. economy in exchange for permanent residency. Under
this program, a foreign investor must contribute a qualifying investment of
typically US$800,000 to US$1,050,000 into a new commercial enterprise that
creates or preserves at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. Upon meeting
these requirements, the investor, their spouse, and their unmarried children
under 21 become eligible for conditional permanent residency, and eventually,
U.S. citizenship.

Historically
treated as an alternative to family- or employment-based green cards, the EB-5
program has become increasingly popular among Indians in recent years. Faced
with stagnating employer-sponsored options and unpredictable visa bulletins,
wealthy Indian families, entrepreneurs, and investors have increasingly adopted
the EB-5 route to secure a more predictable and accelerated route toward
permanent residency.

There are several compelling factors that explain this shift:
• Unlike employer-sponsored petitions, which are subject to shifting demand and
complex skill evaluations, EB-5 petitions are largely based on meeting
investment and job-creation criteria that can be planned and executed.
• While not a shortcut, many perceive EB-5 as faster than the decade-long waits
in EB-2 and EB-3. Concurrent filing in certain situations can yield work
authorization and travel permits (Employment Authorization Documents and
Advance Parole) within months if there is no backlog.
• The investor’s spouse and unmarried children under 21 are included in the
application, offering a comprehensive family solution.
• Permanent residency obtained through EB-5 is not tied to an employer,
relieving beneficiaries from visa-sponsored employment constraints.

It is no surprise
that Indian interest in EB-5 has surged. Recent data indicate a sharp increase
in filings and visa issuances for Indian nationals, with thousands actively
pursuing this route. Yet EB-5 itself is not immune to challenges.

Despite its
attraction, the EB-5 program has not remained untouched by immigration
backlogs. The U.S. Department of State’s Visa Bulletin, which determines visa
availability, has seen retrogression (se ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">This retrogression means that even EB-5 applicants may face waits before their visas become current, particularly in certain investment categories. However, some reserved subcategories, such as rural or high-unemployment area projects, have remained current at times, offering a tactical opportunity for Indian investors seeking to bypass the backlog.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Within the EB-5 framework, investors can choose between two primary investment strategies: Regional Center investment and Direct investment. Each has distinct implications for risk, involvement, and immigration outcomes.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">Regional Center Investment</span></b><span lang="EN-IN"><br>Regional Centers are USCIS-approved entities that pool EB-5 capital from multiple investors into large-scale economic development projects. These projects are often structured to support job creation not only directly through hiring but also indirectly through economic activity, supply chains, and community spending. The benefits of this investment include:<br>• Investors are not required to manage day-to-day operations.<br>• Indirect and induced jobs count toward the requirement, simplifying compliance.<br>• Regional centers handle many compliance and reporting responsibilities on behalf of investors.<br>• Ideal for busy professionals or families focusing solely on immigration.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">Direct Investment</span></b><span lang="EN-IN"><br>Direct investment, by contrast, involves investing in and often managing one’s own U.S. business enterprise. While this approach can offer greater control over the investment and financial returns, it comes with more significant obligations:<br>• Investors must prove that their business directly created at least 10 full-time U.S. jobs, a stricter standard than for Regional Center projects.<br>• Success hinges on the investor’s business acumen and operational capabilities.<br>• Compliance with USCIS requirements falls squarely on the investor.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">In this shifting terrain, Indian investors must know not only visa backlogs and investment decisions but also evolving U.S. immigration policy, economic conditions, and legal standards. It is no longer sufficient to view EB-5 as a simple transaction; strategic timing, careful project selection, and legal guidance are determinants of success.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">For Indian nationals contemplating this path:</span></b><span lang="EN-IN"><br>• Retrogression can turn months of waiting into years, so timing your investment and filing is critical.<br>• Choose the investment type aligned with your risk tolerance and business savvy.<br>• Assess project credibility, job creation viability, and economic impact.<br>• Plan for family and long-term goals, including eventual citizenship.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">In a time defined by unprecedented green card backlogs and contested employment-based immigration routes, investment-based residency programs like EB-5 have emerged as strategic alternatives not only for the wealthy seeking to relocate assets but also for families and entrepreneurs seeking to plant roots, secure futures, and achieve the ultimate goal of American citizenship.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">But for all its promise, the EB-5 route is not without complications or risk. Managing the backlogs, choosing between regional center and direct investment models, structuring funding, and ensuring compliance requires astute planning and experienced legal advice.</span></p>

<title>Creating a Brand Without a Business Surname: How Madhusudana R Built BlueBurr</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/creating-a-brand-without-a-business-surname-how-madhusudana-r-built-blueburr</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/creating-a-brand-without-a-business-surname-how-madhusudana-r-built-blueburr</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In India, where
business success is often associated with legacy and lineage, Madhusudana R’s
entrepreneurial journey offers a different narrative. As the Co-Founder of
BlueBurr.com, an Indian bag brand positioned in the everyday luxury segment, he
represents a generation of founders who are building brands through learning,
resilience, and design-led thinking rather than inherited advantage.

Madhusudana’s story is
not rooted in overnight success. It is shaped by conscious choices, years of
experimentation, and a belief that entrepreneurship can be learned, even
without a business surname.

Choosing an Unfamiliar
Path

Madhusudana comes from
a Kshatriya family where traditional professions were more commonly encouraged
than entrepreneurship. While his parents were supportive and open to guiding
him along established career paths, business was not seen as the default
option.

Despite this, he felt
drawn to creating value independently. During his college years, he chose to
explore the fundamentals of commerce at a grassroots level. He worked closely
with local restaurants to help them bring in customers, took on on-ground sales
roles, and experimented with small ventures that offered practical exposure.
These early efforts were not structured startups, but they provided real-world
insights into customer behavior, trust-building, and the economics of small
businesses.

Rather than relying on
predictability, Madhusudana consciously chose uncertainty as a learning ground.

Learning Outside the
Classroom

After college, Madhusudana
moved to Bangalore with a clear belief that business education is often found
outside classrooms. Conversations, relationships, and lived experience became
his primary teachers. He invested time and resources into meeting people,
attending events, and learning directly from founders and operators across
industries.

During this phase, he
partnered with multiple entrepreneurs and launched ventures in different
categories. One of these was Nyorra.com, a boutique brand catering to the US
market. While these initiatives expanded his understanding of branding and
operations, sustained success remained elusive.

What followed was
nearly seven years of trial and error. Ideas struggled to scale. Partnerships
did not always work out. Progress was often slow. Yet, each setback sharpened
his instincts around product-market fit, positioning, and execution. Failure,
rather than becoming a deterrent, became his training ground.

The Emergence of
BlueBurr

Those accumulated
lessons eventually converged in Delhi with the launch of BlueBurr.com.
Conceived as more than an accessories label, BlueBurr was built as an everyday
luxury bag brand that aligned with how young Indians express identity and
aspiration.

The brand focused on
design-led products that balanced aesthetics with functionality. It spoke
directly to Gen Z consumers who viewed bags not merely as utility items, but as
extensions of personal style and lifestyle. BlueBurr’s approach was rooted in
authenticity, choosing strong design language and organic storytelling over
aggressive promotion.

The response was
immediate and organic. BlueBurr gained nationwide attention, achieved viral
traction, and began selling overseas, marking a significant milestone for an
Indian designer bag brand built without legacy backing.

Extending the Mission
Through KnowVoyage

For Madhusudana,
BlueBurr’s growth also highlighted a broader responsibility. Having navigated
entrepreneurship without a traditional business background, he understood the
lack of accessible guidance faced by many first-generation founders.

This led to the
creation of KnowVoyage.com, a platform designed to support individuals who are
interested in business but lack generational exposure. Through KnowVoyage and
his digital presence, Madhusudana shares practical insights on starting small,
building resilience, and developing the right mindset for long-term growth.

His content resonates
strongly with people who feel late to the entrepreneurial journey or unsure of
where to begin. Many see their own challenges reflected in his experiences,
making the platform both relatable and impactful.

Looking Ahead

Madhusudana R’s vision
is anchored in two priorities. For BlueBurr, the focus remains on scaling
responsibly, strengthening design leadership, and expanding globally without
losing authenticity. For KnowVoyage, the goal is impact, enabling aspiring
entrepreneurs to believe that business is not inherited, but learned.

By building brands and
building confidence alongside them, Madhusudana is quietly reshaping what
modern entrepreneurship in India can look like. ]]></description>

<title>International Day for a World without Childhood Blindness</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Dr Digvijay Singh, Director, Noble Eye Care,
Gurugram was a special invitee to the House of Lords (UK Parliament) where he
participated in the commemoration of the International Day for a World Without
Childhood Blindness. The event which was held on the 31st of January 2026, was attended by various global leaders,
parliamentarians, healthcare pioneers, philanthropists, and civil society
representatives. The event was chaired by Lord Rami Ranger, Member of the House
of Lords, and brought together a distinguished gathering of global voices
committed to advancing child eye health as a public health and development
priority. In attendance were president and board members of the Eye Foundation
of America (Dr VK Raju, Dr Leela V Raju), The UN Chief of China (Mr Siddharth
Chatterjee), The Indian Deputy High Commissioner to UK (Mr Kartik Aryan),
Kenyan Ambassador, pharmaceutical industry leaders and leaders of philanthropic
bodies such as Lions and Rotary International.

 

Addressing the gathering, Lord Rami Ranger
underscored the moral and policy significance of the mission. “The House of
Lords stands today not only for tradition and governance, but for conscience
and global responsibility. A world without childhood blindness is not an
aspiration—it is an achievable goal if governments, philanthropy, and civil
society act together.”

 

The event ended with Lord Rami Ranger and Dr
VK Raju honoring the invited dignitaries and a media interaction with
networking over high tea.  

 

Dr Digvijay Singh emphasized that “Childhood
blindness affects approximately 1.4 million children worldwide, with nearly 75%
residing in Africa and Asia. India alone has an estimated 320,000 blind
children. The common causes for childhood blindness include vitamin A
deficiency, corneal scarring, congenital cataracts, and retinopathy of
prematurity, most of which are preventable or manageable with cost effective
interventions.” He goes on to state that limited access, poor awareness and
relative low level of importance to pediatric eye care comes in the way of
every child being able to see. “This has to change and we can make the change”
he affirms. As a pediatric ophthalmologist, Dr Digvijay Singh realizes the
impact of saving every child from blindness, “The number of disability free
life years that a timely intervention can give a child far exceeds what we can
do by treating many adults” he said.

<title>Singhasan Secures Triple Honours at the UK’s World Drink Awards 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, India | 10 February 2026 :  India’s presence at the World Drinks Awards
2026 was marked by a notable achievement as Singhasan, from homegrown alco-bev
company Modi Illva, received three top distinctions at the globally recognised
competition.

The
World Drink Awards, headquartered in the UK, are regarded as one of the most
rigorous international platforms for spirits evaluation, with entries assessed
through blind tastings by an independent panel of distillers, industry
specialists, and spirits experts. The awards span multiple global styles and
origins, making recognition highly competitive, particularly in fast-evolving
categories such as Indian blended spirits.

The
triple win places Singhasan at the forefront of its category during a period
when Indian spirits are drawing increasing global attention for quality,
consistency, and innovation. The results also reflect a broader shift in the
international perception of Indian spirits, which are now being judged on par
with long-established spirits-producing regions.

Abhishek
Modi, Managing Director, Modi Illva, said, “This triple-win
at the World Drinks Awards is not just a milestone for Singhasan; it is a
definitive statement on the evolution of Modi Illva. We have always positioned
ourselves as disruptors, choosing to challenge the status quo by investing in
craftsmanship over convention. For too long, the premium segment was defined by
international labels.  Today, by winning
the &#039;Best Indian Blended&#039; title on a global stage, we have proven that a
homegrown brand can lead the conversation on quality, taste, and aspiration.
This recognition reinforces our commitment to building a premium spirits
ecosystem in India that is rooted in local excellence but benchmarked against
the world’s finest.”

The
awards come at a time when the sector is transforming, with premiumisation,
improved production techniques, and evolving consumer preferences reshaping the
market. Indian distillers are increasingly focusing on refining blends,
sourcing quality malts and grains domestically, and aligning with international
benchmarks of craftsmanship.

Industry
observers note that wins at platforms such as the World Drink Awards contribute
to stronger global visibility for Indian producers, opening conversations
around provenance, technical capability, and the diversity of spirit styles
emerging from the region. Such recognition also underscores the role of
structured tasting competitions in influencing trade confidence and
international distribution opportunities.

As
the Indian spirits category continues to expand its footprint globally,
achievements at internationally respected competitions such as the World Drink
Awards are expected to play a key role in shaping how Indian blends are
evaluated by critics, connoisseurs, and the trade worldwide.

Modi
Illva, a joint venture between the Umesh Modi Group and Italy-based Illva
Saronno, has been active in India’s premium spirits segment for over a decade.
The company’s participation and performance at global competitions aligns with
a wider trend of Indian alco-bev firms seeking validation through independent
international platforms rather than relying solely on domestic market
leadership. ]]></description>

<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/telangana-rising-as-indias-new-investment-innovation-hub</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 10
Feb 2026, Hyderabad, Telangana : Telangana today stands
at a defining moment in its growth journey, emerging rapidly as India’s new
investment and innovation hub. The vision of Telangana Rising is not
merely about economic expansion, it is about building a future-ready state
driven by innovation, inclusivity and global competitiveness.

Over
the past years, Telangana has consistently demonstrated that progress is
strongest when policy clarity meets people’s potential. With Hyderabad at its
core, the state has become a preferred destination for global investors,
startups and technology leaders across sectors such as IT, life sciences,
manufacturing, clean energy and emerging technologies.

What
truly sets Telangana apart is its ecosystem-driven approach. Investor-friendly
policies, ease of doing business, world-class infrastructure and a skilled
young workforce have created an environment where ideas can scale into global
solutions. From Global Capability Centres to deep-tech startups, Telangana is
proving that innovation thrives where governance is responsive and
forward-looking.

Telangana
Rising also reflects the state’s commitment to
balanced and sustainable growth. Economic development is being aligned with
employment generation, regional development and social responsibility. Every
investment that comes into the state is seen not just as capital inflow, but as
an opportunity to create livelihoods, strengthen local economies and empower
communities.

As
India positions itself as a global economic force, Telangana is playing a
leadership role by showcasing how states can become engines of national growth.
The focus is clear:

●       
Encourage innovation and entrepreneurship

●       
Strengthen global partnerships

●       
Build infrastructure that supports future
industries

●       
Ensure growth translates into opportunity for
every citizen

The
journey of Telangana Rising is built on confidence and confidence in our
people, our institutions and our vision for the future. With continued
collaboration between government, industry and society, Telangana will not only
attract investment but set new benchmarks for inclusive and innovation-led
development in India.

Telangana
is rising and with it, the aspirations of millions who believe in a stronger,
more progressive India.

<title>Don’t Blame Employees for Social Media Disengagement—It’s a Management Vision Failure: Pavan Kaushik</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/dont-blame-employees-for-social-media-disengagementits-a-management-vision-failure-pavan-kaushik</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/dont-blame-employees-for-social-media-disengagementits-a-management-vision-failure-pavan-kaushik</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In
an era where social media plays a decisive role in shaping corporate
reputation, many organisations continue to struggle with a persistent
challenge: employees remain largely disengaged from participating in their
company’s digital narrative. While this is often attributed to fear of making
mistakes or lack of social media skills, experts suggest the root cause lies
deeper—employees are not sufficiently involved in the company’s vision.

“Employee
disengagement on social media is rarely a communication problem—it is a vision
problem,” said Pavan Kaushik, Co-Founder, Gurukshetra Consultancy. “When
employees are not involved in shaping or understanding the company’s vision,
they lack the emotional ownership required to advocate for the brand publicly.
Social media participation is an outcome of belief, not instruction.”

Employees
are most effective advocates when they clearly understand why the organisation
exists, where it is headed, and how their individual roles contribute to that
journey. When vision remains limited to leadership discussions, presentations,
or annual strategy documents, employees often experience work as transactional
rather than purposeful. This disconnect weakens engagement and directly affects
voluntary behaviours such as social media participation.

“Employees
speak up only when they feel connected to where the organisation is headed and
confident that their voice aligns with its purpose. They are part of the growth
story,” Kaushik added.

Fear
is frequently cited as a key barrier to employee advocacy, but Kaushik believes
it is largely a symptom of deeper disengagement. Without clarity of vision,
employees worry about misrepresenting the organisation or saying the wrong
thing online. In such environments, silence becomes the safest option.

“No
policy, incentive, or advocacy tool can substitute genuine engagement. If the
vision remains limited to leadership decks and boardrooms, employees will
remain spectators rather than storytellers,” he said.

To
address this challenge, Kaushik emphasised the importance of structured and
consistent internal engagement mechanisms. Regular leadership-led town halls,
open forums, and interactive strategy sessions allow employees to not only hear
the vision but also question, interpret, and internalise it.  

“Vision
must be a continuous conversation, not a one-time announcement,” Kaushik
noted. “Regular town halls, cross-functional discussions, and leadership
storytelling help employees see themselves in the organisation’s future.”

He
also highlighted the role of managers as vision carriers, encouraging two-way
communication and helping employees contextualise the company’s purpose within
their own roles. Recognising employee contributions and creating safe
guidelines for social media engagement further build confidence.

“True
brand advocacy begins when employees see the company’s success as an extension
of their own professional identity and they are part of growth story,”
Kaushik said.

As
organisations invest heavily in external branding and digital marketing,
experts argue that equal attention must be given to internal alignment. “In
today’s digital economy, vision is not just a leadership statement—it is a
shared narrative,” Kaushik concluded. “When employees feel involved in
that narrative, social media engagement becomes organic, credible, and
powerful.”

For
companies seeking stronger digital visibility, the message is clear: before
asking employees to amplify the brand, ensure they are genuinely connected to
the vision behind it. ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In an era where social media plays a decisive role in shaping corporate reputation, many organisations continue to struggle with a persistent challenge: employees remain largely disengaged from participating in their company’s digital narrative. While this is often attributed to fear of making mistakes or lack of social media skills, experts suggest the root cause lies deeper—employees are not sufficiently involved in the company’s vision.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">“<b>Employee disengagement on social media is rarely a communication problem—it is a vision problem,</b>” said <b>Pavan Kaushik, Co-Founder, Gurukshetra Consultancy</b>. “<b>When employees are not involved in shaping or understanding the company’s vision, they lack the emotional ownership required to advocate for the brand publicly. Social media participation is an outcome of belief, not instruction.</b>”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Employees are most effective advocates when they clearly understand why the organisation exists, where it is headed, and how their individual roles contribute to that journey. When vision remains limited to leadership discussions, presentations, or annual strategy documents, employees often experience work as transactional rather than purposeful. This disconnect weakens engagement and directly affects voluntary behaviours such as social media participation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">“<b>Employees speak up only when they feel connected to where the organisation is headed and confident that their voice aligns with its purpose. They are part of the growth story,</b>” Kaushik added.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Fear is frequently cited as a key barrier to employee advocacy, but Kaushik believes it is largely a symptom of deeper disengagement. Without clarity of vision, employees worry about misrepresenting the organisation or saying the wrong thing online. In such environments, silence becomes the safest option.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">“<b>No policy, incentive, or advocacy tool can substitute genuine engagement. If the vision remains limited to leadership decks and boardrooms, employees will remain spectators rather than storytellers,</b>” he said.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">To address this challenge, Kaushik emphasised the importance of structured and consistent internal engagement mechanisms. Regular leadership-led town halls, open forums, and interactive strategy sessions allow employees to not only hear the vision but also question, interpret, and internalise it.<span>  </span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">“<b>Vision must be a continuous conversation, not a one-time announcement,</b>” Kaushik noted. “<b>Regular town halls, cross-functional discussions, and leadership storytelling help employees see themselves in the organisation’s future.</b>”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">He also highlighted the role of managers as vision carriers, encouraging two-way communication and helping employees contextualise the company’s purpose within their own roles. Recognising employee contributions and creating safe guidelines for social media engagement further build confidence.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">“<b>True brand advocacy begins when employees see the company’s success as an extension of their own professional identity and they are part of growth story,</b>” Kaushik said.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">As organisations invest heavily in external branding and digital marketing, experts argue that equal attention must be given to internal alignment. “<b>In today’s digital economy, vision is not just a leadership statement—it is a shared narrative,</b>” Kaushik concluded. “<b>When employees feel involved in that narrative, social media engagement becomes organic, credible, and powerful.</b>”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For companies seeking stronger digital visibility, the message is clear: before asking employees to amplify the brand, ensure they are genuinely connected to the vision behind it.</span></p>

<title>Inside Tatva Healthcare’s Purpose&amp;Driven Mission to Build India’s Most Trusted Wellness Brand</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/inside-tatva-healthcares-purpose-driven-mission-to-build-indias-most-trusted-wellness-brand</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/inside-tatva-healthcares-purpose-driven-mission-to-build-indias-most-trusted-wellness-brand</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a wellness market
often driven by trends and loud claims, Tatva Healthcare is taking a more
deliberate path—one rooted in clarity, consistency, and long-term trust.
Founded by entrepreneur Mitesh Rajput, the brand reflects a belief that
wellness companies should be built with responsibility and discipline rather
than speed alone.

Mitesh Rajput, Founder
of Tatva Healthcare, brings a structured and globally informed perspective to
the brand. An MBA graduate from the University of Texas at Arlington (USA), his
background spans business strategy, operations, and supply-chain management.
This foundation shaped his view of wellness as a responsibility-led space where
credibility is earned through systems, consistency, and long-term thinking
rather than trends or aggressive positioning.

Alongside his
professional background, Mitesh’s personal experiences also influenced the
creation of Tatva Healthcare. Over time, recurring digestive discomfort made
him more mindful of daily consumption choices and prompted closer scrutiny of
ingredient transparency and sourcing standards. This personal phase reinforced
a broader realization: many wellness products are marketed heavily but
explained insufficiently, leaving consumers unsure about what they are truly
consuming.

Tatva Healthcare was
created to address this gap. From the outset, the brand adopted a purpose-first
growth philosophy, prioritizing strong internal systems, responsible sourcing,
and consistent quality before scale. Product launches are paced thoughtfully, partnerships
are selected carefully, and decisions are evaluated through a long-term
lens—allowing the brand to maintain control over its standards while steadily
building consumer trust.

Positioned as an
everyday wellness brand, Tatva Healthcare focuses on practicality and clarity.
Its products are designed to fit naturally into daily routines, without
unnecessary complexity or exaggerated claims. Clear communication and honest
positioning allow consumers to make informed choices with confidence, helping Tatva
build lasting relationships rather than short-term attention.

As Tatva Healthcare
continues to grow, its mission remains unchanged: to build one of India’s most
trusted wellness brands through integrity, patience, and disciplined execution.
For Mitesh Rajput, success is not measured by rapid expansion, but by the
ability to earn trust consistently over time. Tatva Healthcare stands as a
reflection of that belief—quietly focused, purpose-driven, and committed to
credibility that lasts.

disrupted academic journeys with real career opportunities and help
professionals continuously upgrade their skills.

Blended
Learning Approach

GoEducated.com
follows a blended learning model that combines online education with access to
physical learning centers. Our flagship training institute is located at 37
Cunningham Road, Vasanth Nagar, Bengaluru, with many other partnered
institutions located PAN India. Learners receive instruction through live
virtual classes and recorded sessions. The platform also offers assessments,
progress tracking, personalized learning recommendations, and career support
services, including resume building, interview preparation, and placement assistance.

Corporate
Training and Upskilling

In
addition to individual learners, GoEducated.com is expanding into corporate
training through its collaboration with the Boston School of Corporate
Training. The enterprise programs focus on upskilling employees in areas such
as technology, finance, analytics and management.

Corporate
offerings include customized training programs, virtual and on-site workshops,
cohort-based learning and certification tracking tools for organizations.

Global
Certifications with BIA

Through
its partnership with the Boston Institute of Analytics, GoEducated.com provides
access to internationally recognized certifications in Data Science, Artificial
Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, Finance, Business Analytics,
Digital Marketing and creative fields such as animation and gaming.

Doha, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi, with certifications recognized by
multinational companies worldwide.

<description><![CDATA[ The emotional TVC introduces Swaniketan,
India’s first purpose-built residential ecosystem designed to provide dignity,
security, and lifelong community support

Pune,
India – February 09, 2026 : In India, millions of families raising
differently-abled children live with a quiet, constant worry: what happens
after us? Every day, parents face the question of who will care for their
children when they are no longer around. With limited healthcare
infrastructure, sparse mental health support, and few residential options
designed for long-term care, the burden often falls entirely on families. For parents,
it is not just about today, it is about a lifetime of uncertainty, navigating a
system that is not yet fully equipped to meet the unique needs of their
children.

Today, Paranjape Schemes Construction
Ltd. unveils its first television commercial (TVC)
for Swaniketan, India’s first residential community purpose-built for
differently-abled individuals and their families. Developed under Paranjape
Special Projects, Swaniketan integrates thoughtful design, accessibility,
mental well-being, and daily support within a cohesive living environment. The
TVC uses authentic, real-life narratives to convey the project’s ethos and
lived experience, with a series of exclusive episodic snippets planned to roll
out, bringing the community’s purpose-driven philosophy to life for audiences
across platforms.

The
TVC is now live across digital platforms and can be viewed here: - https://youtu.be/Jr-aR1AMpAk?si=mBKMvMBh6HA6CJkz

Mr
Shashank Paranjape, Managing Director, Paranjape Schemes Construction Limited,
says, “Swaniketan is more than a housing project, it’s a community built around
care, respect, and empowerment. Our vision has always been to design spaces
that respond to real human needs, and this project is a heartfelt reflection of
that commitment. At Paranjape Schemes, we are committed to giving back to
society by creating communities that genuinely support people’s lives.”

Mr
Amit Paranjape, Director Business Development, Paranjape
Schemes Construction Limited, adds, “Through Swaniketan, we are building
meaningful partnerships with families, NGOs, and society at large. This TVC is
just the beginning of sharing the community’s story and our vision for
inclusive, socially responsible housing.”

In
addition to Swaniketan, Paranjape Schemes has developed Athashri – Senior
Citizen Housing, one of India’s most established senior living communities that
blends dignity, thoughtful design, care services, and vibrant social engagement
for residents. Athashri communities foster connection, comfort, and fulfilment
at every stage of life, rooted in the company’s broader commitment to shaping
purpose-driven living experiences.

Schemes has built a legacy of shaping skylines and creating sustainable,

<title>17&amp;year&amp;old Aditya Pandya becomes India’s youngest male analog astronaut after completing AAKA Space’s lunar habitat mission</title>

<description><![CDATA[ AAKA Space Studio, a
space research and simulation organisation and a registered ISRO Space Tutor
working on planetary analog environments, successfully conducted a
lunar-habitat-inspired analog astronaut mission designed to simulate isolation,
habitat living, and autonomous operations under Moon-like conditions. The
mission was carried out from 1st February to 8th February . in the white plains
of Dholavira, Kutch.

The mission involved a
four-member analog astronaut crew, who lived together inside a container-based
lunar analog habitat for the full mission duration. Among them was Aditya
Pandya (17), who has now become India’s youngest male analog astronaut, while
also serving as the lead for the mission’s hardware, IoT, and habitat
intelligence systems.

The lunar analog
habitat was engineered to replicate the physical and operational constraints of
a Moon-like environment. It incorporated a digital twin framework, enabling
real-time synchronisation between the physical habitat and mission control
systems, allowing continuous monitoring and post-mission analysis of habitat
and crew parameters.

Aditya, as a core
technical team member, had been involved in building and developing the
mission’s technology stack over the six months leading up to the mission. His work
included the design, development, and integration of key systems such as:

●Internal and external
sensor modules for continuous environmental monitoring

●Astronaut biometric
systems to track physiological parameters of the crew

●Embedded hardware for
habitat health, safety, and fault detection

●A centralized mission
control system for real-time telemetry and diagnostics

●Modular hardware
components developed using 3D printing and rapid prototyping



Throughout the mission,
the four-member crew remained in strict isolation, operating under predefined
protocols similar to planetary missions. The mission focused on experiments
related to long-duration confinement, crew autonomy, system reliability, and
human machine interaction inside confined habitats.

Notably, Aditya was not
only responsible for designing and building the habitat’s technological
infrastructure but was also one of the astronauts residing inside the habitat,
validating the systems he engineered under real operational stress throughout
the nine-day mission.

According to AAKA Space
Studio, the lunar analog mission was aimed at strengthening India’s analog
research ecosystem by combining hands-on engineering, simulation science, and
experiential astronaut training, aligned with future human spaceflight and
planetary habitation requirements.

Aditya’s dual role: as
both system architect and analog astronaut, reflects a new model of space
training, where young engineers actively build, test, and inhabit the systems
designed for extraterrestrial exploration.

into a managed rental pool, ensuring professional operations and long-term
value creation. 

On this collaboration, Mr. Dinesh Yadav, Founder &amp; Managing
Director of Fine Acers, said, “We are delighted to partner with
Wyndham Hotels &amp; Resorts once again on these prestigious developments,
further strengthening our long-standing relationship. With India’s growing
demand for premium leisure destinations and destination wedding venues, Dolce

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, February 9, 2026 : Bengaluru is set to see one of its
biggest community-led fitness celebrations as cult today announced the launch
of the ‘cult Fitness Carnival’ to be held on March 14 KTPO, Whitefield,
here. Designed to make fitness feel fun for people of all age groups and
fitness levels, the carnival will feature expert-led workshops, challenges,
conversations and immersive experiences that intend to turn movement into a
shared celebration.

Built
for everyone: 

At
a time when fitness events are seeing growing interest across the country, the
‘cult Fitness Carnival’ is built to stand apart through its inclusive,
experience-led design. Whether someone is showing up for their very first
workout, getting back into a routine, or training regularly, the carnival is
designed to let people engage with fitness in ways that feel accessible, social
and fun.

The
event will feature a packed line-up of activities, including the cult
UNBOUND Championship, a fitness competition testing strength and endurance,
alongside panel discussions with leading fitness KOLs and industry voices.
Across the venue, attendees can explore interactive zones with brand
activations, product sampling and hands-on engagement, turning the event into a
festival rather than a single-format fitness meet.

Star-studded
event:

Adding
to the festival atmosphere are a series of celebrity-led workshops and
group-participation sessions. These include a special yoga session with Bollywood
actor Malaika Arora, Mat Pilates with India’s first BASI certified
Pilates instructor and author Yasmin Karachiwala, a Strength Masterclass
with cult co-founder Rishabh Telang, and a high-energy Dance Fitness
Party led by Shwetambari Shetty. In addition, there will also be
coffee mixology, art reset and shadow yoga among other sessions. Together, the
programme reflects the carnival’s aim to showcase different ways of moving and
training, and to move beyond the idea that fitness has to look or feel the same
for everyone.

Naresh
Krishnaswamy, CEO, Curefit HealthCare Pvt Ltd, said, “The cult Fitness
Carnival is our way of opening up fitness to many more people. India has a long
journey ahead when it comes to building consistent, everyday movement habits,
and that means creating formats that more people can see themselves in. This carnival
brings together different forms of movement, learning and participation so
people across age groups and fitness levels can find something that works for
them. Our aim is to build this into a platform that travels to more cities over
time and becomes something people look forward to, making fitness more social,
more accessible and more sustainable.”

The
cult Fitness Carnival is expected to see a massive footfall of about 6,000
people with a strong mix of urban, fitness-conscious millennials and Gen Z participants,
alongside families and first-time fitness explorers. 

Tickets
are now live.

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad,
India, 9th February, 2026 : Bartronics India Limited (BIL),
a rural financial inclusion and technology company with a nationwide footprint,
today announced the appointment of Dr. Raja Krishna Murthy M as Head – Agri
Tech Business, strengthening its leadership as the company scales its agri-tech
and climate-led growth initiatives.

The
appointment aligns with Bartronics’ strategic focus on Project Avio Agritech,
its integrated agri-tech platform designed to create new, scalable revenue
streams across agricommerce, sustainable agriculture, digital advisory, and
high-integrity carbon and climate solutions, while leveraging the company’s
extensive rural reach.

A
Gold Medalist Ph.D. in Agribusiness Management, Dr. Raja brings over 21 years
of experience in agribusiness transformation, climate-smart and regenerative
agriculture, ESGaligned programs, and carbon market operations. He has worked
with leading multilateral and international institutions including UNICEF, the
World Bank, USAID, GIZ, IFAD, the Asian Development Bank, DFID, UNIDO, and the
European Union, delivering large-scale, outcome-driven programs across Asia,
Africa, and Latin America.

Dr.
Raja has led and managed agriculture and sustainability initiatives impacting
over 2.8 lakh farmers directly, with program leadership exposure covering more
than one million farmers globally. His experience includes execution of carbon
and methane reduction projects aligned with VERRA, VCS, and Gold Standard
frameworks, positioning him strongly to build commercially viable, globally
compliant agri and carbon solutions.

Bartronics’
agri and carbon strategy is anchored in its established rural infrastructure,
which currently connects with approximately 40 million farmers across 5,000
villages through its financial inclusion and last-mile service network. Project
Avio Agritech is designed to monetise this reach by enabling structured
agri-value chains, carbon aggregation, and climate-aligned outcomes linked to
global markets, while simultaneously improving farm productivity, resilience,
and farmer incomes.

Commenting
on the appointment, Vidhya Sagar Reddy, Managing Director, Bartronics India
Limited, said: “Project Avio Agritech represents a significant long-term growth
opportunity for Bartronics as we expand beyond financial inclusion into
agriculture, climate, and carbon-led platforms. Dr. Raja’s combination of
academic excellence, global institutional experience, and hands-on execution in
carbon and agri programs brings strong strategic and operational leadership to
scale this vertical sustainably and commercially.”

Dr.
Raja Krishna Murthy M, Head – Agri Business, Bartronics India Limited,
added:“Bartronics’ deep rural presence, trusted farmer relationships, and
technology-first approach create a strong foundation to build scalable agri and
climate solutions. My focus will be on translating this reach into high-impact,
globally aligned agri and carbon programs that deliver measurable value for
farmers, partners, and the company.”

With
this appointment, Bartronics continues to strengthen its senior leadership as
it evolves into a diversified rural technology platform, with agri-tech and
carbon positioned as strategic growth engines contributing to long-term value
creation.

<title>As AI Reshapes Indian Business, IIM Raipur Launches AI&amp;integrated Advanced General Management Programme</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 9th
February 2026, India : As India’s business landscape is reshaped by
AI adoption, digital transformation, and increasing organisational complexity,
the expectations from managers and leaders are evolving rapidly. Leadership
today extends beyond functional expertise to encompass strategic thinking,
data-led decision-making, and cross-functional influence. According to a
Deloitte–NASSCOM report, India’s AI talent demand is expected to rise from
around 600,000 to over 1.25 million professionals by 2027, while the market is
projected to grow at 25–35%, underscoring the urgent need to upskill the
existing workforce.

This
shift is clearly reflected at the CEO level. The EY CEO Outlook Pulse Survey
2025 reports that nearly 88–90% of Indian CEOs view continuous upskilling as
critical to building future-ready organisations. Further reinforcing this
trend, Fortune India notes that 69% of professionals who upskilled in AI, data
science, or machine learning transitioned into managerial roles within two
years, highlighting the growing link between digital fluency and leadership
progression.

Recognising
these changing requirements, the Indian Institute of Management Raipur has
announced the Advanced Certificate Programme in General Management,
a 12-month executive learning programme designed to equip professionals with
strategic depth, cross-functional fluency, and AI-integrated leadership
capabilities.

The
programme is designed for early to mid-level professionals, including Managers,
Senior Managers, Functional Heads, and Senior Associates who are looking to
accelerate their leadership journey and transition into broader business roles.
It is also suited for entrepreneurs, start-up founders, business owners, and
consultants seeking to scale operations, drive innovation, and lead with
data-backed insights.

Speaking
on the launch of the programme, Prof. Satyasiba Das Dean External Relations,
IIM Raipur said,
“This programme is crafted for professionals who are ready to step beyond
functional silos and assume wider leadership responsibilities. By integrating
core general management disciplines with AI and GenAI,
analytics, and emerging technologies, we aim to develop leaders who can
navigate complexity and drive sustainable growth in today’s dynamic business
environment.”

The
Advanced Certificate Programme in General Management offers a comprehensive
foundation across strategy, finance, operations, marketing, and human
resources, while embedding contemporary themes such as AI, GenAI, analytics,
and digital leadership. Delivered through a blended format, the programme
includes live online sessions and recorded lectures by IIM Raipur faculty,
complemented by six live industry-led masterclasses on GenAI and real-world
business applications. Participants may also attend an optional one-day
on-campus networking event at IIM Raipur.

Through this programme, participants will be
able to:
Develop cross-functional fluency across finance, marketing,
operations, and HR to enable aligned, enterprise-wide decision-making

<title>The Billion&amp;Dollar Vision: Surgeon&amp;Turned&amp;Founder Revolutionizing Global Oncology Care with Patented AI Innovation</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, February 9, 2026 : Dr. Chirag Jain spent 18 years as a surgeon watching cancer
destroy not just bodies, but souls. Today, he&#039;s building what could become the
most significant transformation in oncology care since chemotherapy itself.

 

This isn&#039;t incremental improvement. This is a paradigm
shift worth billions.

 

Mindful Gurukul Private Limited announced breakthrough
clinical validation results and ₹4 crore investment from a US-based angel
investor for Skitii – a
patented AI music therapy platform that provides significant pain relief for
cancer patients. But the real story? Dr. Jain is positioning this technology to
reach every cancer treatment center on the planet.

 

The Billion-Dollar Opportunity: Transforming
Oncology Care

 

Globally, 20 million people are diagnosed with cancer
annually. Each undergoes months of treatment. Each experiences debilitating
pain and emotional trauma. The current solution? Opioids with devastating side
effects, or nothing at all.

 

&quot;We&#039;re not building a feature for cancer care –
we&#039;re rebuilding the foundation of how oncology treats the whole patient,&quot;
Dr. Jain declared. &quot;This is a multi-billion dollar market that nobody has
cracked because you need both deep clinical expertise AND cutting-edge AI
innovation. We have both.&quot;

 

The global pain management market is valued at $85
billion. Music therapy for healthcare? Barely explored at scale. AI-powered
adaptive systems for cancer care? Dr. Jain&#039;s company is pioneering the
category.

 

&quot;This is the million-dollar idea – actually, the
billion-dollar transformation,&quot; he said. &quot;First mover advantage in a
massive market where we&#039;re creating the category itself.&quot;

 

The Surgeon Who Saw What Others Missed

 

After 18+ years in surgery, Dr. Jain recognized what
pharmaceutical companies and medical device giants overlooked: cancer patients
don&#039;t just need drugs – they need emotional support that scales, that&#039;s
available 24/7, that adapts to their individual suffering.

 

&quot;As a surgeon, I could only be with patients for
minutes. But their suffering lasted hours, days, months,&quot; Dr. Jain
explained. &quot;I realized the breakthrough wouldn&#039;t come from better surgery
– it would come from technology that could provide compassionate presence when
humans couldn&#039;t.&quot;

 

So he stopped operating and started building the
future of oncology care.

 

The Patented Technology That Changes Everything

 

Skitii isn&#039;t just a music app. It&#039;s a medical device
that uses proprietary patented algorithms to create personalized therapeutic
music that adapts to each patient&#039;s unique physiological and emotional needs
during cancer treatment.

 

The platform continuously monitors patients through
advanced biometric sensing and responds dynamically when distress is detected –
delivering precisely calibrated therapeutic interventions through sound.

 

Patented. Proven. Ready to Scale.


 Indian
     patents secured – international PCT applications
     filed for global protection 
 Clinical
     validation – significant pain reduction
     demonstrated in trials 
 US
     investor backing – ₹4 crore validates
     global market potential 
 DPIIT
     recognition – government-validated
     healthcare innovation 
 CDSCO
     approval in progress – Class B medical
     device regulatory pathway 


 

&quot;This is patented technology being built in India
to export to the world,&quot; Dr. Jain emphasized. &quot;Under Prime Minister
Modi&#039;s vision for healthcare self-reliance and innovation, Indian startups can
dominate global healthcare markets. We&#039;re proving it.&quot;

 

Why This Attracts Global Capital

 

US-based seasoned Angel investor committed ₹4 crore
because they see what Dr. Jain sees: a massive underserved market, proprietary
patented technology, a founder who deeply understands the clinical problem, and
a clear path to becoming the standard of care in oncology centers worldwide.

 

&quot;International investors don&#039;t fund incremental
improvements,&quot; Dr. Jain noted. &quot;They fund transformation. They fund
founders who can execute billion-dollar visions with defensible intellectual
property. That&#039;s what we&#039;re building.&quot;

 

Join the Transformation

 

Dr. Jain is assembling a world-class team to execute
this vision. Not just employees – co-creators of the future of cancer care.

 

Who Transforms Oncology with Dr. Jain:

 

Innovators &amp; Builders: &quot;I need people who want to build technology that reaches
20 million patients, not 20,000 users&quot; – Dr. Jain


 AI/ML
     engineers passionate about healthcare applications 
 Medical
     device software architects 
 Algorithm
     developers with therapeutic technology experience 
 Full-stack
     developers who understand clinical workflows 


 

Clinical Visionaries: &quot;Oncologists
who understand we&#039;re not disrupting their work – we&#039;re multiplying their

<description><![CDATA[  

Bengaluru, India — February
2026 :
Platizem.com, a digital-first diamond
jewellery platform, is steadily expanding its presence in India’s evolving fine
jewellery market by offering a diverse portfolio that includes lab-grown
diamond jewellery, natural diamond collections, engagement rings, diamond earrings,
and men’s hip-hop jewellery. The brand’s approach reflects shifting consumer
preferences toward ethical sourcing, design-driven collections, and online
accessibility.

India’s jewellery sector is
undergoing a transformation as buyers, particularly in urban markets,
increasingly prioritise transparency, sustainability, and contemporary styling
alongside traditional craftsmanship. Platizem.com aims to address this shift by
creating a single platform that brings together modern diamond jewellery
choices for multiple consumer segments, from first-time buyers to occasion-led
purchasers.

Rising Acceptance of
Lab-Grown Diamond Jewellery

One of the key growth drivers
for Platizem.com has been the increasing acceptance of lab-grown diamond
jewellery among younger consumers. With greater awareness around sustainability
and responsible luxury, lab-grown diamonds are emerging as a preferred option
for buyers seeking ethical alternatives without compromising on visual appeal
or durability.

Platizem.com has developed a
dedicated range of lab-grown diamond jewellery that focuses on minimal, modern
designs suited for daily wear as well as special occasions. By offering clear
product information and competitive pricing, the platform aims to make
lab-grown diamonds more accessible while educating consumers on their quality
and certification standards.

Continuing Demand for Natural
Diamond Jewellery

While lab-grown diamonds are
gaining traction, natural diamond jewellery continues to hold strong emotional
and cultural value in India. Recognising this, Platizem.com maintains a
comprehensive selection of natural diamond pieces that cater to consumers who
value tradition, long-term investment, and legacy jewellery.

The platform’s natural
diamond jewellery offerings include classic diamond earrings, solitaires, and
occasion-centric designs crafted to suit both contemporary and traditional
tastes. By balancing modern aesthetics with time-tested appeal, Platizem.com
seeks to serve buyers looking for certified natural diamonds through a digital
purchasing experience.

Engagement Rings for
Milestone Moments

Engagement rings remain a
central category within Platizem.com’s portfolio, driven by evolving proposal
trends and growing preference for personalised designs. As Indian couples increasingly
opt for meaningful and design-forward engagement jewellery, the brand has
expanded its range to include both lab-grown and natural diamond engagement
rings.

The collection focuses on
clean silhouettes, versatile settings, and contemporary styling, catering to
consumers who want rings that reflect personal expression rather than
conventional templates. This segment continues to attract buyers seeking
quality craftsmanship combined with modern design sensibilities.

Men’s Hip-Hop Jewellery Gains
Momentum

A notable differentiator for
Platizem.com is its growing men’s hip-hop jewellery segment. Reflecting global
street culture influences and changing attitudes toward men’s accessories, the
category features bold diamond chains, rings, and pendants designed for
statement-making appeal.

The rise of hip-hop-inspired
jewellery among Indian men signals a broader shift toward self-expression and
non-traditional jewellery formats. Platizem.com has positioned this collection
to resonate with younger audiences who seek distinctive designs that move
beyond conventional gold jewellery.

Digital-First Model Aligned
with Modern Buyers

As an online-first platform,
Platizem.com leverages digital retail to provide product transparency, detailed
specifications, and a streamlined buying experience. The brand’s model aligns
with a growing base of consumers who research extensively online before making
fine jewellery purchases.

By focusing on accessibility,
curated collections, and evolving design trends, Platizem.com aims to bridge
the gap between traditional jewellery buying and modern digital consumption
habits.

Looking Ahead in a
Competitive Jewellery Landscape

With India’s diamond
jewellery market becoming increasingly segmented and design-led, Platizem.com
plans to continue expanding its collections across lab-grown diamonds, natural
diamonds, engagement rings, diamond earrings, and men’s jewellery. The brand’s
long-term strategy includes strengthening consumer awareness, enhancing design
innovation, and adapting to changing lifestyle preferences.

As digital platforms play a
larger role in jewellery retail, Platizem.com is positioning itself to be part
of India’s next phase of diamond jewellery consumption, where choice,

<title>Echoes of Heritage: A Spellbinding Sitar&amp;Tabla Jugalbandi Illuminates the Naushad Academy of Hindustani Sangeet</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] : In an era where
the sacred traditions of Indian classical music are tenderly guarded by
dedicated custodians, the Naushad Academy of Hindustani Sangeet stands as a
beacon of cultural preservation. On the evening of Saturday, January 31st,
2026, the attendees resonated with the timeless strains of a Sitar-Tabla
Jugalbandi that transported a mesmerized audience to a bygone era of musical
purity.

The recital featured the virtuosity of world renowned Sitarist
Bhagirath Bhatt and the rhythmic brilliance of eminent Tabla
player Manas Vora. Their performance was not merely a concert but a
testament to the enduring vitality of the classical tradition, maintained today
through the unwavering patronage of institutions like the Naushad Academy.

A Tapestry of Raags and Rhythm

The evening commenced with the melancholic grandeur of Raag Kirwani.
Bhatt unfolded the raag with a beautifully structured Alap, Jod, and
Jhala, allowing the warm, resonant strains of the sitar to
permeate the silence. His intricate finger work crisscrossed the frets, weaving
a rich tapestry of sound that shifted effortlessly from serene introspection to
powerful rhythmic vibrancy.

The narrative then transitioned to Raag Charukeshi,
rendered with remarkable depth and finesse. Bhatt presented a mesmerizing
bandish set to a rare 9-matra taal, followed by a spirited
bandish in Drut Teen Taal. It was here when Manas Vora’s tabla
entered the dialogue, blending seamlessly with the melodic flow of the sitar.

The resulting Jugalbandi was a display of electric chemistry—a rhythmic
dialogue of energy, texture, and precision. The interplay generated waves of
pure musical energy, oscillating between the contemplative and the
exhilarating, transporting listeners to heightened states of ecstasy. The
escalating tempos and complex rhythmic patterns reflected the artist&#039;s profound
understanding of the Hindustani classical idiom.

A Homage to Legends

The recital concluded on a soulful note with a bandish in Raag Mishra
Pahadi. In a moments of deep emotional resonance, Bhatt rendered the iconic
composition “Udja Kale Kawan,” paying a heartfelt tribute to
its creator, the legendary composer Shri Uttam Singh Jee, who was present in
the audience. This moving homage stood out as one of the evening’s most
memorable highlights.

World-renowned composer and Music Director Shri Uttam Singh
Jee remarked, ‘Having witnessed numerous sitar performances, I was deeply
impressed by Bhagirath Bhatt’s mastery over his instrument, and Manas was
equally good on tabla. Bhagirath Jee’s playing was truly soulful and
spellbinding. If and when given a chance, I certainly will have Bhagirath Jee
play for me in the times ahead.’

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Rehman Naushad observed,
‘It was an honour to witness and be part of this exceptional recital. Bhagirath
Bhatt Sahab has an immensely bright future ahead of him, much like that of Shr
Ravi Shankar Jee. I wish him every success.

Esteemed composer and producer Shri Gurmeet Singh (son
of Uttam Singh) shared the story of the duo’s discovery: Through a
recommendation, I watched Bhagirath Bhatt Jee’s performances on YouTube and was
instantly struck by how tuneful yet technically accomplished he is. My team
immediately reached out to him, he was overwhelmed and accepted to perform. I
was truly mesmerised by the duo’s performance and look forward to many future
collaborations.

Stewards of the Tradition

This evening of musical excellence was presented under the expert guidance
of the Academy’s permanent trustees, who continue to serve as pillars for the
classical arts and preserving musical culture and heritage:


 Shri Rehman Naushad – President
 Shri Uttam Singh – Secretary
 Shri Gurmeet Singh – Treasurer
 Smt Shehnaaz Parveen Mutiur Rehman – Trustee
 Smt Jasvinder Kaur – Trustee
 Smt Umaraah Mutiur Rehman – Trustee


The Academy also gratefully acknowledged the collaborative efforts that
ensured the
event’s resounding success, including Event Organiser Ms. Parmeet Kaur, Media
Consultant David Allan Vaz, and Nabh Kumar Raju (Photography - Videography)
along
with his NKR Film School students and the entire dedicated event crew.

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad : Malla Reddy Narayana Multispeciality
Hospital, Hyderabad, has achieved a significant clinical milestone by
successfully completing 50 + robotic intra-cardiac surgeries, becoming the

surgical system to reach this landmark in robotic cardiac care.

The milestone was
announced during a media interaction held at Malla Reddy Narayana

modern cardiac care.”

The robotic cardiac
surgery programme was spearheaded by Dr. Harish Badami, Senior Consultant CTVS,
whose clinical leadership and execution played a pivotal role in achieving this
milestone.

He said,

“Robotic cardiac
surgery allows for greater precision and control, benefiting patients through
minimally invasive approaches and faster recovery. Achieving this milestone was
possible only through meticulous planning, rigorous training, and exceptional
teamwork.”

Highlighting the

governance, multidisciplinary collaboration, and well-defined protocols.

<title>From Hyderabad to the World: Building a Global Footwear Brand</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/from-hyderabad-to-the-world-building-a-global-footwear-brand</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/from-hyderabad-to-the-world-building-a-global-footwear-brand</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Kameleo
began in Hyderabad with a simple idea—that footwear should be personal,
comfortable, and easy to make your own. What started as a belief has grown into
an India-born customised fashion footwear brand that is quietly carving its
space in a fast-changing consumer fashion market. As the new year unfolds,
Kameleo finds itself at an important growth moment, driven by strong customer
acceptance, a scalable retail model, and a clear ambition to take Indian-led
customisation to global markets.

Founded
in Hyderabad, Kameleo has introduced a distinctive in-store customisation
experience that puts choice directly in the hands of the customer. Shoppers can
walk into a Kameleo store, choose from over 22 styles, pick from 7 sole colours
and 13 strap colours, and create their own personalised flip-flops in real
time. What truly sets the brand apart is the ease and speed of the
experience—each customised pair is assembled and ready in under two minutes.
The process is designed to feel intuitive and engaging, making personalisation
accessible rather than overwhelming, especially for young, style-conscious
consumers who want individuality without complication.

Alongside
customisation, Kameleo places equal importance on comfort and everyday
wearability. Crafted using high-quality, skin-friendly materials, every pair is
100% waterproof, durable, and designed for all-day comfort. The brand has
consciously positioned itself within an accessible price range, ensuring that
customised fashion remains inclusive rather than premium-led. With 20 stores
across multiple states in South India, Kameleo continues to expand steadily,
supported by strong retail momentum and a business model built to scale.

The
brand is led by a diverse and experienced founding team, including ISB MBAs,
IIT graduates, and NIFT designers, who bring together business insight, design
thinking, and operational discipline. This blend has shaped Kameleo into a
consumer-first brand with a strong focus on product-market fit for Indian
audiences, while keeping scalability at the core. Building on its domestic
traction, Kameleo is now preparing for international expansion, with planned
launches in Nepal, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Sri Lanka in the coming
months. By the end of 2026, the brand aims to establish its presence in over 10
global cities and grow to more than 50 stores worldwide, marking the next phase
of its journey as an Indian customisation-first footwear brand stepping onto
the global stage.

Premium beauty picks they’ll love

 

Few gifts feel as indulgent
as fragrance. Myntra’s Valentine edit spotlights premium picks from global
names like Paco Rabanne, Carolina Herrera, Viktor &amp; Rolf, Mercedes-Benz, and Guess. From floral and fruity notes to deeper, evening
fragrances, these gift sets blend iconic scents with statement packaging,
making them perfect for parents, partners, or close friends who appreciate a
touch of luxury.

 

Skincare,
but make it special

 

Self-care continues to lead
Valentine’s gifting, especially for friends and siblings who appreciate a
little pampering. Curated kits like the Plum Valentine gift boxes bring
together skincare favourites in celebration-ready packaging, making them equal
parts thoughtful and indulgent. It’s the kind of gift that gently says “take a
moment for yourself,” long after the occasion has passed.

 

Carry it with love:
Zouk bags that blend style with sentiment

 

Accessories always make for
fail-safe gifts, and a well-crafted bag adds an extra layer of everyday
meaning. Zouk’s thoughtfully designed bags bring together contemporary
silhouettes with Indian-inspired detailing, making them both stylish and
personal. From structured handbags, duffels, and slings to spacious wallets,
these pieces move seamlessly from daily errands to festive outings. These gifts
don’t just sit pretty, but become part of everyday style and are perfect for
anyone who appreciates accessories that balance practicality with personality.

 

This Valentine’s Day, move
beyond the predictable. Choose gifts that feel like your bond- thoughtful,
personal, and maybe even a little playful. Whether it’s a keepsake that sits on
their desk, a fragrance they’ll wear on special days, or an accessory they’ll carry
everywhere, the best gifts are the ones that say more than just “Happy
Valentine’s.” They say, “I know you. I appreciate you. And I picked this
just for you.” ]]></description>

Bengaluru, February 6, 2026 : Myntra, India’s leading fashion, beauty and lifestyle destination,
today announced the launch of Comet, a culture-first sneaker brand known for
its distinctive design. With this association, Comet makes its

monthly active users while further strengthening Myntra’s compelling portfolio
of sneakers that resonate strongly with Gen Z and millennial shoppers.

including its most-loved sneaker styles such as the X Lows, Aeon V2,

strong focus on design and experimentation, Comet has emerged as a notable name

India’s office space
landscape is rapidly
evolving as enterprises, GCCs, and growing businesses shift toward flexible, agile, and scalable work
environments. In this dynamic ecosystem, Exospace has emerged as a

(Patna) are strategically positioned within prime business corridors,
offering enterprises seamless connectivity, operational ease, and future-ready infrastructure.

Each Exospace centre
is thoughtfully crafted
with a productivity-first philosophy, blending aesthetic, ergonomic, and customizable workspaces. Inspired by space,
the universe, and our astronaut mascot, the interiors create a sense of
entering an entirely new orbit where design, functionality, and focus converge.
From curated breakout zones to tailored workspace packages, Exospace delivers a
holistic, frictionless, and immersive
office experience.

said Satyam Agarwala, Founder &amp; CEO, Exospace. “With Exospace, we aim to
provide enterprises a launchpad into a new universe of work, flexible, fully
managed, and designed for growth.”

As businesses increasingly seek plug-and-play, collaborative, and future-forward
work environments, Exospace

for enterprises expanding across India.

<description><![CDATA[ HSNC University, Mumbai
organised a one-day conference titled “Foundations of Indian Knowledge
System: Natya Yoga (Dance in Yoga)”, bringing together research scholars,
administrators, artists, faculty and students to explore classical Indian dance
as a holistic system of knowledge integrating philosophy, wellness and
aesthetics. Organised by the School of Performing Arts (SOPA) in
collaboration with the Chellaram School of Yoga and Wellness (CSYW), the
conference highlighted the relevance of traditional art forms in contemporary
academic, cultural and wellness discourses.

 

The inaugural session included opening remarks by Col.
Prof. (Dr.) Hemlata K. Bagla, Vice-Chancellor, HSNC University, who
underscored the University’s commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship and
the integration of traditional knowledge systems within higher education. Dr.
Bagla contended “Indian Knowledge Systems represent deeply integrated ways
of knowing, where art, philosophy, wellness and education coexist seamlessly.
Through platforms such as this conference on Natya Yoga, HSNC University
seeks to move beyond academic silos and engage with traditional wisdom in ways
that are experiential, relevant and firmly embedded within contemporary higher
education.”
 

“Through academic platforms, cultural dialogue and
initiatives such as podcasts like ‘NAAD-the IKS series’ on our
YouTube channel, HSNC University is committed to making traditional wisdom
accessible, relevant and engaging for contemporary learners,” Dr. Bagla
professed.
 

In his keynote address, Chief Guest Shri Atul Patne
(IAS), Principal Secretary, Administrative Reforms, Government of Maharashtra emphasised
the importance of preserving and institutionalising Indian Knowledge Systems.
“Universities have a critical role to play in ensuring that India’s
intellectual and cultural heritage is studied with rigour and relevance.
Initiatives that explore Indian knowledge systems in structured academic
settings strengthen both scholarship and institutional decision-making,” Shri
Patne said.  

Book Release Anchors Scholarly Dialogue 

A key highlight of the conference was the release of
the book Odissi Dance: Therapeutics, Aesthetics, Metaphysics, authored by
eminent Odissi danseuse and scholar Dr. Reela Hota. The book examines
Odissi dance beyond performance, positioning it as a discipline rooted in
therapeutic practice, metaphysical inquiry and embodied awareness. 
 

The book release was followed by a panel discussion
moderated by Dr. Leena Pujari, Dean, Faculty of Interdisciplinary
Studies, HSNC University. The panel featured Dr. Reela Hota, Dr. Uma
Rele, Principal, Nalanda Nritya Kala Mahavidyalaya, Dr. Swami Yogapratap
Saraswati, Yogacharya and Founder, Satyam Sumiran, Acharya Ekatma Dham and Dr.
Biraj Mehta Rathi, philosopher and activist. Discussions centred on the
intersections of dance, yoga, education, healing practices and Indian
philosophical traditions. The discussion was followed by Q&amp;A where many
students asked questions.

Performance as Practice and Knowledge 

 

The post-lunch session, titled “Gestures of Care:
Performance, Art and Healing Worlds”, focused on the experiential and
performative dimensions of Natya Yoga. Highlights included a presentation by
Dr. Reela Hota on arts and culture as pathways to inner and outer well-being, a
dance recital on Bhakti Yoga in Manipuri Dance by classical dancer Ms.
Kheersana Yumlembam and reflections on Music and Samskaras by Dr.
Shailesh Srivastava, singer, scholar and Sangeet Natak Akademy awardee. The
session concluded with dance performances by students of the School of
Performing Arts, HSNC University, demonstrating how classical traditions
continue to evolve through academic training and creative practice. 

 

Reaffirming the Relevance of Indian Knowledge
Traditions 

 

The IKS conference reinforced the idea that classical
Indian art forms are not merely cultural expressions but sophisticated
knowledge systems with enduring relevance to contemporary concerns such as
mental well-being, holistic education and cultural sustainability. By bringing
together scholarship, policy perspectives and performance, the event reaffirmed
HSNC University’s role in bringing such platforms for dialogue between
tradition and modernity and for advancing meaningful engagement with India’s
intellectual and cultural heritage.

<title>From Small Towns to the Sky: Ek Bharat Airlines Set to Soar in 2028</title>

<description><![CDATA[ By Aviation Desk
BANGALORE – In a move that promises to redraw the aviation map of India, the Ek
Bharat Abyyan Foundation has officially unveiled its most ambitious project to
date: Ek Bharat Airlines. Scheduled for a commercial launch in 2028, the airline
is not merely a business venture but a social mission aimed at democratizing
the Indian skies.

Founded by visionaries
Dr. Joyappa Achaiah and Jaswanth Prasath, the airline seeks to bridge the
widening gap between India’s booming metropolises and its underserved Tier-2
and Tier-3 cities. With its headquarters established in the tech-capital of
Bangalore, Ek Bharat Airlines is positioning itself as the &quot;wings of the
common man,&quot; aiming to take the vision from the &quot;Small Town to the
Sky.&quot;

The Right Time for the
Right Mission

The timing of this
launch is no coincidence. Recent aviation statistics paint a compelling picture
of a nation in desperate need of more players in the sky. Industry analysts and
global aerospace leaders like Boeing and Airbus suggest that to keep pace with
the 8.9% annual growth in passenger traffic, India requires at least five new
airlines within the next decade.

&quot;The data is
clear: India’s sky is vast, but it is currently under-served,&quot; says Dr.
Joyappa Achaiah. &quot;Earlier, there were many hurdles—from complex regulatory
bottlenecks to fuel taxations and infrastructure gaps. But today, with the
government’s focus on the UDAN scheme and the rapid construction of new
regional airports, those hurdles have significantly lowered. This is the right
time to enter the aviation transport sector, and we are making full use of
it.&quot;

By 2028, India is
expected to have over 200 operational airports, up from 163 today. Ek Bharat
Airlines aims to be the primary carrier for these new gateways, ensuring that
connectivity isn&#039;t just a promise on paper but a scheduled flight on a tarmac.

A Foundation of Unity

The Ek Bharat Abyyan
Foundation is already a household name for its &quot;Ek Bharat Abyyan&quot;
campaign, which focused on the devotional value of the National Anthem to
foster national unity. It is this same spirit of &quot;Unity in Diversity&quot;
that fuels their latest foray into the aerospace sector.

Co-founder Jaswanth
Prasath emphasizes that the airline is an extension of this cultural mission.
&quot;Our foundation has always been about bringing Indians closer together.
What better way to do that than by physically connecting the weaver in
Dharmavaram to the entrepreneur in Tumakuru? We are moving from a campaign of
the heart to a campaign of the clouds.&quot;

Strategic Hub: Why Bangalore?

Choosing Bangalore as
the headquarters was a tactical decision. As the Silicon Valley of Asia,
Bangalore offers an unparalleled ecosystem of aviation technology, maintenance
talent, and digital infrastructure. The headquarters will serve as the nerve
center for a &quot;Hub-and-Spoke&quot; model that prioritizes regional routes
over congested metro-to-metro corridors.

The 2028 roadmap
includes:

●       
2026-2027: Infrastructure setup and
recruitment of a &quot;New-Age&quot; workforce.

●       
Early 2028: Proving flights across the first
15 identified Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.

●       
Late 2028: Official commercial takeoff.

A Call for Nationwide
Partnership

Unlike traditional
corporate carriers, Ek Bharat Airlines is looking for a more inclusive growth
model. The founders have issued a clarion call for partnerships across the
nation.

&quot;We want to
partner with people across the nation for this venture,&quot; says Jaswanth
Prasath. &quot;Whether it is local hospitality groups in smaller cities,
logistics providers, or regional investors who understand the pulse of their
towns—this is a &#039;People’s Airline.&#039; We are looking for collaborators who share
our &#039;Small Town to Sky&#039; philosophy to help build the ground support and service
excellence that India deserves.&quot;

Economic and Social
Impact

Improved connectivity is
a proven catalyst for economic growth. By focusing on Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities,
Ek Bharat Airlines expects to:

Boost Local Trade:
Allowing perishable local goods to reach national markets in hours.

Enable Medical Access:
Facilitating &quot;Emergency Air Corridors&quot; for patients in remote areas.

Drive Tourism: Opening
up &quot;Hidden Gem&quot; destinations that are currently accessible only by
long road or rail journeys.

The Flight Path Ahead

As the industry
prepares for the next decade of growth, Ek Bharat Airlines stands out as a
unique hybrid of social vision and business pragmatism. Dr. Achaiah and Mr.
Prasath are betting on the fact that the next 100 million flyers will not come
from Delhi or Mumbai, but from the towns whose names are not yet on the flight
boards.

&quot;We have waited
for the right moment,&quot; Dr. Achaiah concludes. &quot;The policy is ready,
the infrastructure is rising, and the Indian dream is soaring. In 2028, when
our first flight takes off, it won&#039;t just be an airplane; i ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">By Aviation Desk BANGALORE – In a move that promises to redraw the aviation map of India, the Ek Bharat Abyyan Foundation has officially unveiled its most ambitious project to date: Ek Bharat Airlines. Scheduled for a commercial launch in 2028, the airline is not merely a business venture but a social mission aimed at democratizing the Indian skies.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Founded by visionaries Dr. Joyappa Achaiah and Jaswanth Prasath, the airline seeks to bridge the widening gap between India’s booming metropolises and its underserved Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. With its headquarters established in the tech-capital of Bangalore, Ek Bharat Airlines is positioning itself as the "wings of the common man," aiming to take the vision from the "Small Town to the Sky."</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">The Right Time for the Right Mission</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The timing of this launch is no coincidence. Recent aviation statistics paint a compelling picture of a nation in desperate need of more players in the sky. Industry analysts and global aerospace leaders like Boeing and Airbus suggest that to keep pace with the 8.9% annual growth in passenger traffic, India requires at least five new airlines within the next decade.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">"The data is clear: India’s sky is vast, but it is currently under-served," says Dr. Joyappa Achaiah. "Earlier, there were many hurdles—from complex regulatory bottlenecks to fuel taxations and infrastructure gaps. But today, with the government’s focus on the UDAN scheme and the rapid construction of new regional airports, those hurdles have significantly lowered. This is the right time to enter the aviation transport sector, and we are making full use of it."</span></p>

<title>Joyville Shapoorji Housing to develop row houses in Howrah, West Bengal</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/joyville-shapoorji-housing-to-develop-row-houses-in-howrah-west-bengal</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Howrah : Joyville Shapoorji Housing, an aspirational housing platform by
Shapoorji Pallonji, Actis, ADB, and IFC, has announced the launch of Shapoorji
Pallonji One Estate, a collection of premium row houses within its integrated
30 acres gated development, Joyville Howrah, strategically located near
Santragachi in Howrah. Spread across 8 acres, the project will offer 180
premium row houses.

 

Building on the strong response of earlier phases of
Joyville Howrah, Shapoorji Pallonji One Estate reintroduces the charm of
independent living through thoughtfully designed row houses that combine the
privacy of standalone homes with the safety, convenience, and shared benefits
of a modern gated development.

 

Home to a thriving community of over 800 families,
Joyville Howrah is one of the largest occupied gated developments in Howrah.
Nearly 75 per cent of the masterplan is dedicated to open and green spaces,
creating a balanced lifestyle shaped by landscaped environments, well-planned
infrastructure and vibrant social spaces.

 

The row houses at Shapoorji Pallonji One Estate have
been designed to offer residents a greater privacy while maintaining a strong
sense of community. Landscaped lawns, walking paths and dedicated outdoor areas
create everyday spaces for relaxation and recreation, allowing families to
enjoy the familiarity of independent homes within a secure, managed setting.

 

Strategically located near Santragachi, the project
offers excellent connectivity to key parts of Kolkata and surrounding areas. It
enjoys seamless access to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport,
Santragachi and Howrah railway stations, Dakshineshwar and Howrah Maidan metro
stations, and the upcoming elevated flyover for improved east-west
connectivity, as well as arterial roads such as the Kona Expressway, and Howrah
Bridge, ensuring convenient access to business districts, social hubs and
essential services. 

 

Commenting on the launch, Mr Sriram Mahadevan,
CEO, Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate and Managing Director, Joyville by
Shapoorji Housing, said, “In established urban markets, the
definition of a good home is evolving. While the aspiration for independent
living remains strong, homebuyers today are equally mindful of long-term
livability, security and the quality of infrastructure. Row houses within a
well-planned gated development strike this balance thoughtfully. With Shapoorji
Pallonji One Estate, we intend to offer homes that provide privacy and
ownership while being supported by professionally managed amenities, open
spaces and community infrastructure. This approach reflects our broader
philosophy of building homes that remain relevant, comfortable and valuable
over time.”

 

The residents will have access to a fully operational
clubhouse featuring over 25 premium amenities, including a swimming pool,
gymnasium, banquet hall, indoor games facilities, and serviced guest rooms. The
development also integrates a high-street retail zone, offering convenient
shopping, dining, and leisure experiences within the premises.

 

Shapoorji Pallonji One Estate is part of SPRE’s
continued vision to develop quality homes within thoughtfully planned gated
community that prioritise comfort, openness, and community living. Backed by
the 160+ year legacy of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group’s engineering excellence
and trust, Joyville by Shapoorji Housing continues to shape aspirational
housing across India. 

 

About Joyville:

 

Joyville is a platform by Shapoorji Pallonji, Actis,
ADB, and IFC to develop aspirational housing projects in India. It has already
launched Joyville Howrah (near Kolkata), Joyville Virar (near Mumbai), Joyville
Hinjewadi (Pune), Joyville Gurugram, Joyville Hadapsar Annexe (Pune), Joyville
Sensorium (Pune), and Joyville Celestia (Pune) to the Joyville bouquet of
projects. ]]></description>

<title>BMW Group India presents India Art Fair 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Celebrating a Decade of Cultural Leadership
and Innovation at the Intersection of Art, Design, and Technology.

●       
‘The Future is Born of Art’ Commission winner
Afrah Shafiq showcases ‘A Giant Sampler’ across the India Art Fair façade.

●       
BMW Concept Speedtop on exclusive display at
BMW Collectors Lounge.

Gurugram :  BMW Group India returns as the presenting partner of the 17th edition of India
Art Fair from 5 – 8 February 2026 at the NSIC Exhibition Grounds in New Delhi,
marking a decade of the brand’s enduring commitment to cultural engagements in
India. India Art Fair is the leading platform showcasing modern and
contemporary art from India and South Asia and convenes audiences to explore a
record 135 exhibitors, including 94 commercial galleries, presented alongside
major regional and international art institutions. The fair welcomes 26 new
exhibitors, marking its broadest showcase yet, continuing its mission to
foreground the most compelling practices and voices from South Asia alongside
major contemporary international artists and collectible design, reaffirming
its position as leading site for the discovery of art and culture in the
region. 

Mr.
Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, BMW Group India, said, “BMW Group
India’s decade-long partnership with India Art Fair reflects our unwavering
belief that culture, creativity, and innovation are inseparable pillars of
progress. Through ‘The Future is Born of Art’ Commission and our
presence at this vibrant platform, we celebrate the power of artistic
expression to shape a sustainable and inclusive future. The BMW Concept
Speedtop, showcased this year, symbolizes our commitment to pushing boundaries,
where design, technology, and craftsmanship converge to inspire new horizons.
Together with India Art Fair, we are proud to nurture a dynamic ecosystem where
art and innovation fuel transformation, not just for the automotive world, but
for society at large.”

‘The
Future is Born of Art’ Commission: A Bold New Chapter
Marking ten years of creative partnership with India Art Fair and five
years of the landmark ‘The Future is Born of Art’ Commission, BMW Group
India continues to champion emerging Indian artists on the global stage. The
2026 Commission, themed ‘Crafting in Continuum’, is awarded to Afrah
Shafiq for her immersive installation ‘A Giant Sampler’, displayed
prominently across the fair’s façade for the first time.

Shafiq’s
work reimagines progress as continuity, a harmonious coexistence of handcraft
traditions, digital systems, and human touch. Drawing on embroidery motifs and
textile practices linked to women’s histories, the installation integrates an
interactive Augmented Reality (AR) experience, inviting visitors to engage with
layered narratives of memory, movement, and transformation. The BMW wheel,
rendered in cross-stitch, emerges as a contemporary emblem of precision,
motion, and cyclical change, connecting the brand’s heritage with artistic
innovation.



As
winners of the prestigious ‘Future is Born of Art’ Commission, led by BMW and
India Art Fair, Afrah Shafiq joins the ranks of India’s most promising artistic
voices. Previous winners, Non-Linear (Dennis Peter) and Cursorama (Yash
Chandak) 2025, Sashikanth Thavudoz (2024), Devika Sundar (2023) and Faiza Hasan
(2022), have set the stage with visionary works exploring community,
materiality and ecology.

Exclusive
Showcase: BMW Concept Speedtop at the BMW Collectors Lounge

The
BMW Concept Speedtop embodies BMW’s seamless fusion of art, design, and
innovation, presenting a bold vision of craftsmanship and performance. Its
striking shark-nose front, illuminated kidney grille, flowing central spline,
and distinctive Touring profile create a powerful presence, enhanced by a
dramatic roof gradient from Floating Sunstone Maroon to Floating Sundown Silver
and bespoke two-tone wheels.

Inside,
the precise craftsmanship from BMW’s Dingolfing plant defines a luxurious cabin
with brogue style detailing, two-tone leather in Sundown Maroon and Moonstone
White, and an ambient light beam inspired by the exterior spline. The leather
finished trunk is thoughtfully divided for multi-day journeys.

A
collaboration with Italian leather specialist Schedoni adds bespoke luggage and
behind seat storage, underscoring the concept’s exclusivity. Powered by BMW’s
most powerful V8, the Concept Speedtop combines dramatic design with
exhilarating performance. Limited to just 70 units worldwide, it offers
collectors a rare opportunity to own a true automotive masterpiece.

The
Concept Speedtop reflects BMW Group’s commitment to cultural engagement and the
convergence of art, technology, and future mobility.

<title>Arif Patel Dubai Emerges as a Strong Voice for Tech&amp;Driven Business Growth</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/arif-patel-dubai-emerges-as-a-strong-voice-for-tech-driven-business-growth</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

As technology continues to redefine how businesses
run operations, leaders, who can bridge the gap between tradition and
innovation, are shaping the future of global enterprise. Arif Patel Dubai has
become a strong and respected representative for tech-driven company growth
among them. He has been associated with several industries out of which energy,
banking, and international trade are at the tops of them. He is part of a new
group of corporate leaders that think technology could make things clearer,
more sustainable, and more valuable in the long run.

Arif Patel is at the forefront of talks about
digital transformation since he works from Dubai, which is one of the most
dynamic business and innovation cities in the world. He makes it obvious that
technology is not something to follow, but something to use properly.

A vision that connects technology with a goal

Arif Patel doesn&#039;t think technology is just about disruption. It has to
do with purpose. He thinks that contemporary tools should not replace business
principles, but instead make them easier to understand, help people make better
decisions, and make businesses stronger.

“Technology should help businesses think better, not just move faster,”
says Arif
Patel.

This way of thinking has driven his leadership in
many businesses, where digital technology, data analytics, and automation are
thoughtfully added to the way things are already done. Patel&#039;s method shows
that companies don&#039;t have to lose their core identity to modernize; they only
need to add knowledge and forethought to it.

Transforming Traditional Industries with Smart
Solutions

There are many successful businesses who are
cautious while adopting any new technology, but Arif Patel has always fought
against this hesitation. Even with his actions, he has always shown how smart
solutions may make things work better without making them less reliable.

In the energy sector, Arif Patel has been supporting
the use of digital monitoring tools, performance analytics, and intelligent
reporting systems to optimize operations, for a long time. These technologies
help to manage resources in a better way and make things safer. He also makes
sure that any modern technology must affect the environment less.

Though, his impact on finance has been just as
strong, whereas Patel has been a big promoter of fintech adoption. As he found
out that some improvements would make things run more smoothly and make things
more open and trustworthy so he introduced digital platforms, automated
compliance methods, and investing strategies based on data.

“Businesses today shouldn&#039;t be afraid of technology.
Arif Patel often says, &quot;They need to understand it,&quot; while talking
about the industry.

He has a practical and balanced approach, which has
helped him to become a trusted advisor in sectors that are traditionally resistant
to change.

Dubai: A Place Where Ideas Can Grow

Dubai has risen as a global innovation and
investment hub that provides the ideal environment to Arif Patel’s vision to
grow. The city&#039;s environment follows the futuristic policies, gives a global exposure
and helps to encourage your willingness to use new technologies. Such all
exposures fit perfectly with his business philosophy.

Arif Patel engages with global markets from Dubai
and is also contributing to conversations around innovation, sustainability,
and digital leadership. His base in the city strengthens his global perspective
and allows him to collaborate with leaders from diverse industries and regions.

“Dubai represents the future—where ideas,
technology, and ambition meet,” Arif Patel notes.

A Recognized Presence at Business and Industry
Events

Arif Patel has an impressive impact that goes beyond
boardrooms. He has attended several business events that helped to get
recognition in business forums, investment summits, leadership conclaves, and
industry networking events in Dubai and the UK.

Arif Patel has become a part of panel discussions,
closed-door strategy sessions, and leadership talks where he shared his points
and experiences for digital transformation and sustainable growth at these events.
His ideas come from real life, which makes his voice both trustworthy and easy
to understand.

During a recent business forum, Arif Patel said, &quot;“The businesses that will lead tomorrow are the ones preparing today and such companies are not just
growing with technology, but with mindset.”

His involvement in these kinds of platforms has made
him a thought leader who not only knows a lot about technology but also knows
how to explain its value in simple, useful words.

Motivating a New Generation of Leaders

One of the most important things about Arif Patel&#039;s
path is that he has been a guide and inspiration to new business owners. He
pushes executives to use technology with confidence and responsibly through
public speaking, private ]]></description>

<title>Nisschal Zaveri to Present &amp;apos;Whispers of the Infinite &amp; Spring Edit&amp;apos; at Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2026 Alongside Usha Uthup and Ricky Kej | 6th February</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, India : Singer-composer Nisschal Zaveri will
present Whispers of the Infinite – Spring Edit, a ghazal and
poetry performance exploring love, silence, and renewal, at the Kala Ghoda Arts
Festival on Friday, February 6th at 7:00 PM at Mumbai&#039;s historic Cross
Maidan. Zaveri joins a distinguished lineup including Usha Uthup,
Grammy-winner Ricky Kej, Kanishk Seth Trio featuring Kavita Seth, and other
acclaimed artists at one of India&#039;s most celebrated cultural events.

Started in 1999, the Kala
Ghoda Arts Festival is Mumbai&#039;s premier public celebration of art
and culture, transforming the city&#039;s heritage precinct into an open-air canvas
of music, visual arts, theatre, dance, and literature. This year&#039;s theme,
&quot;Ahead of the Curve&quot;, resonates deeply with Zaveri&#039;s approach to
the classical ghazal form. The artist trained in Indian and Western Classical
brings forward a practice that honours tradition while ably extending its
expressive boundaries through contemporary sensitivity and minimalist
presentation.

Whispers of the Infinite is Zaveri&#039;s ongoing
ghazal and poetry project that explores intimacy, silence, and emotional depth
within the classical tradition. The Spring Edition, timed with Mumbai&#039;s
seasonal shift, draws from themes of longing, bloom, and transcendence.
The performance invites attentive listening, allowing poetry to unfold with
restraint rather than spectacle, where romance is approached as a slowly
unfolding feeling more than a grand declaration, much like blossoms in the
city.

His growing national presence has been reinforced by performances at
leading cultural platforms, including a spellbinding appearance at
Jashn-e-Rekhta, where he performed for an audience of over 2,000
listeners, and more recently, full-house solo ghazal concerts with
orchestra symphony in Delhi and Mumbai, both met with standing ovations.

Zaveri will be accompanied by his ghazal band featuring tabla,
sarangi, 12-string guitar, bass, keyboard, and percussion. The setlist is
shaped as a gradual emotional journey, moving from stillness and waiting toward
renewal and boundlessness. Minimal instrumentation and deliberate pauses create
space for the poetry to breathe, offering audiences a quiet encounter with love
and reflection.

“Ghazal is not meant to impress - it is meant to reveal. At Kala
Ghoda, I look forward to creating a space where listeners can meet the poetry
honestly, without spectacle, and rediscover the timeless intimacy that this
form holds.” Zaveri says about his upcoming performance.

Event Details: Whispers of the Infinite – Spring Edit
Date: Friday, February 6th, 2025
Time: 7:00 PM – 7:35 PM
Venue: Cross Maidan, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai
Admission: Free and open to the public

<title>KT Kids signs landmark Peppa Pig deal in India’s kids’ personal care segment; Kareena Kapoor Khan leads the national campaign</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai : KT Kids, one of India’s fastest-growing
pediatric-recommended kids care brands, has announced a strategic partnership
with the world’s most famous icon Peppa Pig, owned by entertainment major
Hasbro. The partnership marks one of the largest character-led launches in
India’s children’s haircare and skincare segment.

The partnership
introduces the KT Kids x Peppa Pig Limited edition collection, a range of
clinically tested shampoos, conditioners, body washes, lotions, and everyday
hygiene products designed specifically for children aged 2+ years. The products
combine dermatologist-approved, gentle formulations with Peppa Pig-themed
packaging aimed at making daily self-care routines more engaging for children.

Industry observers say
the move reflects the growing premiumisation of India’s kids’ personal care
category, where parents increasingly prefer safe, pediatric-recommended
solutions backed by trusted brands and familiar characters.

KT Kids’ brand
ambassador, actor Kareena Kapoor Khan, has been headlining the KT Kids campaign
since the launch, strengthening the brand’s appeal among modern Indian
families.

Speaking on the
announcement, Dhruv Sayani, Founder, KT Kids, said:“At KT Kids, this is a
historic moment as Peppa Pig isn’t just a character; it is one of the most
powerful children’s franchises in the world and a true cultural force for young
families.

India today ranks among
the largest markets for Peppa Pig globally, over 25% of the English YouTube
channel’s 36+ million subscribers come from India alone, translating to more
than 9 million Indian subscribers, while the Hindi channel has built an
additional 12.9 million subscribers, building a total 21+ Million strong
community in India , that level of engagement is unprecedented.”

When a brand commands
this kind of love and daily screen time with children, it naturally becomes
part of their lives and that’s exactly where personal care belongs. With
Kareena Kapoor Khan’s deep credibility among modern parents and Hasbro’s global
leadership, we see this as a category-disrupting moment.

Add to that Peppa Pig’s
robust 2026 content slate is underway and the timing couldn’t be bigger. This
partnership gives us the opportunity to integrate entertainment, trust, and
science at scale, creating not just products, but a complete kids’ care
ecosystem. This is not a launch, this is the beginning of a new growth chapter
that will reshape the future of kids’ personal care in India.”



The new range has been
developed to be tear-free, mild on sensitive skin, and suitable for everyday
use. The company said the products will be available across pharmacies, modern

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
February 5, 2026 :  UrbaneTek
Insurance Broking Pvt. Ltd., a leading IRDAI-registered direct broker
specializing in comprehensive insurance solutions, today announced its
strategic expansion into Ahmedabad, Gujarat. This milestone marks a significant
step in the company’s growth journey as it continues to redefine how insurance
supports wealth-building and lifestyle improvement for India’s retail
customers.

The
Ahmedabad launch underscores UrbaneTek’s commitment to making professional
insurance broking services more accessible across key urban markets. With this
expansion, the company strengthens its presence across major metros including
Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Delhi and Kolkata, while actively preparing to
enter additional micro-markets across Maharashtra, NCR and other high-potential
regions as part of its next phase of growth.

At
the heart of UrbaneTek’s philosophy is the belief that insurance is not merely
about protection after life, but about enabling a better life while living.
Guided by its core vision of “Where Life Meets Luxury,” the company
focuses on educating and empowering individuals to build disciplined saving
habits through modern insurance solutions that support everyday financial
confidence. UrbaneTek defines luxury not as extravagance, but as freedom—the
ability to live without hesitation, avoid unnecessary financial stress, and
make everyday choices without compromise. By promoting insurance as a tool for
living benefits, long-term financial discipline, and lifestyle improvement, the
company aims to help individuals progress from a constrained present to a more
secure and dignified future, while simultaneously safeguarding their families.

Commenting
on the expansion, Mr. Swapnil Hasbe, CoFounder CEO, UrbaneTek Insurance Broking Pvt.
Ltd., said, “Ahmedabad
is a natural extension of our vision-driven growth strategy. The city reflects
strong financial awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset, making it an ideal
market for our approach to insurance—one that prioritises living benefits,
lifestyle improvement and long-term security. Our goal is not just to
distribute policies, but to build a financially confident community.”

As
part of its broader expansion roadmap, UrbaneTek is steadily scaling its branch
network across multiple locations in Mumbai Metropolitan Region while planning
upcoming entries into cities such as Borivali, Ghatkopar, Thane and select NCR
markets. Each new location follows a consistent strategy—local presence,
customer education, and long-term relationship building rather than volume-led
selling.

Looking
ahead, UrbaneTek aims to deepen its national footprint by expanding into
additional tier-one and tier-two cities, supported by investments in
technology, advisory capabilities and operational infrastructure. The company
remains focused on spreading awareness around disciplined saving and
responsible financial planning as key enablers of improved quality of life.

<title>Knockout Stores wins ‘IMAGES MOST ADMIRED CONCEPT STORE OF THE YEAR’ at INDIA FASHION FORUM 2026</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/knockout-stores-wins-images-most-admired-concept-store-of-the-year-at-india-fashion-forum-2026</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/knockout-stores-wins-images-most-admired-concept-store-of-the-year-at-india-fashion-forum-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Knockout Stores has been awarded the “IMAGES Most Admired Concept Store of the Year” at the India
Fashion Forum (IFF), recognizing a retail format that has consistently
demonstrated clarity of purpose, strong consumer relevance, and disciplined
execution across markets. The award, presented at India’s most credible retail
forum organized by IMAGES Group, acknowledges concepts that go beyond
transactional discounting to build long-term value-led retail ecosystems.

 

Knockout Stores operates as North India’s First
Value-Based Multi-Brand Outlet (MBO), led by Darpan Kapoor, a retail pioneer
with over 36 years of experience under his belt, offering international fashion
brands at all-season discounts, while maintaining structured merchandising,
planned store zoning, and a calm, discovery-led shopping experience. Unlike
temporary discount formats or clearance-driven outlet stores, Knockout is built
as a permanent value retail destination.

 

Across its network, Knockout brings together 50+ international brands, U.S. Polo, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin
Klein, Gap, Only, Vero Moda, Kazo, Jack &amp; Jones, Gap Kids, USPA Kids, Puma
Kids, Ruff, and more, spanning men’s, women’s, and kids’ apparel under one
roof. The model is designed to give customers choice, consistency, and
confidence, allowing families to shop multiple categories, age groups, and
brands in a single visit, without navigating multiple mono-brand outlets.

 

At the core of Knockout’s concept is a data-led
approach to retail design and assortment planning. Store formats are not
replicated blindly across cities. Instead, Knockout studies:

 


 Live store sales data 
 Category contribution by market 
 Customer feedback and repeat behavior 
 Local family shopping patterns 


 

These insights inform store size, category mix, brand zoning, and layout decisions, allowing each store to
respond to its local context while staying true to the Knockout value
proposition.

 

The Knockout model is particularly relevant in North
India’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where aspirational customers seek
international brands, but also value convenience, price transparency, and
family-friendly shopping environment

 

The concept presented at IFF and recognized by the jury, used Knockout’s women’s and kids’ format in
Barnala as a case study to demonstrate how the Knockout system works in practice.

 

In Barnala, internal data revealed that women’s and
kids’ categories accounted for nearly 60% of demand, significantly higher than
network averages. Rather than expanding an existing men’s store, Knockout
re-architected the format by introducing a dedicated women’s and kids’ store
within the same compound. The decision reflected Knockout’s willingness to
rethink formats based on insight, not inertia.

 

The store was designed around family shopping behavior:

 


 Women-led entry zones to support calm discovery and decision-making 
 A contained kids zone that attracts children without disrupting the store flow 
 Value-led multi-brand curation featuring international brands with all-season discounts 


 

The store’s performance, strong launch-day footfall,
consistent post-launch growth, and high repeat ratios validated the broader
Knockout approach to value retailing. 

In an Indian fashion retail landscape crowded with
mono-brand discount stores and outlet clusters, Knockout demonstrates the
continued relevance of well-curated multi-brand outlets. Its model proves that
customers still value:

 


 The ability to compare brands side by side 
 One-stop family shopping 
 Predictable value without the chaos of clearance-led retail 


 

“As we continue to strengthen Knockout’s presence in Punjab this year, with upcoming stores planned in
cities like Zirakpur, Ludhiana, and Patiala, our focus remains on delivering
value-led, thoughtfully designed retail experiences that work for families,”
said Darpan Kapoor.

 

The recognition at IFF highlights Knockout’s ability to balance choice, value, and structure, especially in
emerging cities where retail success depends on understanding local demand
rather than importing metro-centric formats.

 

For Knockout Stores, winning the IMAGES Most Admired
Concept Store of the Year is not just an award;

 

it is national recognition for a retail philosophy
rooted in listening closely to customers and designing formats that reflect how
India actually shops. It reinforces Knockout’s position as a thoughtful,
scalable value-based MBO, and a reminder that some of the most relevant retail
innovation in India is coming from beyond the metros.

<title>Why You Do Not Get the Market Gold Rate When Selling Used Gold</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/why-you-do-not-get-the-market-gold-rate-when-selling-used-gold</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Imagine
you bought a beautiful gold necklace five years ago for a family wedding. You
remember the rate of gold being
significantly lower back then. Today, as you look at the news and see the gold
price in India touching new highs, you decide it is the perfect time to
liquidate that piece for some urgent business capital or a home renovation.

But,
when you go and raid the jewellery store, the price that they give you is so
low that it is impossible that the &quot;spot price&quot; that you saw on your
mobile screen one hour ago. You are struck with confusion, maybe even
frustration. Are the jeweller’s actions unfair?

This
is a common experience for many Indian households. Understanding the gap
between the &quot;market rate&quot; and the &quot;in-hand value&quot; is
essential for making sound financial decisions. As a veteran in the financial
advisory space for over two decades, I have seen many individuals lose out on
value simply because they didn’t understand how the gold price is restructured
during a resale.

The Anatomy of the Gold Price Gap

When
you see a gold price in India advertised on news channels or financial
websites, you are usually looking at the &quot;Spot Price&quot; or the
&quot;IBJA (Indian Bullion and Jewellers Association) Rate.&quot; This is the
price for 24-karat (99.9% pure) raw gold bullion. When you sell used jewellery,
you aren&#039;t selling raw bullion; you are selling a finished product. Here is why
the numbers don&#039;t match up.

1. The Purity &quot;Karat&quot;
Factor

Most
jewellery is made of 22K or 18K gold because 24K is too soft for intricate
designs. If your piece is 22K, it only contains 91.6% pure gold. Naturally, a
buyer will only pay for the actual gold content, not the alloys mixed in to
make it durable.

2. Deduction of &quot;Making
Charges&quot; and GST

When
you bought the jewellery, you paid for the craftsmanship, known as making
charges, which can range from 8% to 25% of the gold value. You also paid 3% GST
on the total.

Important
Note:
Making charges and GST are &quot;consumption costs.&quot; They add value to the
beauty of the piece, but they carry zero resale value. A buyer is only
interested in the raw gold content, not the labour that went into it years ago.

3. Melting and &quot;Wastage&quot;
Charges

To
recycle your gold, a buyer must melt it down and refine it. During this
process, a small percentage of metal is inevitably lost (oxidation or removal
of impurities). Most buyers deduct a wastage charge (typically 2% to 5%) to
cover this loss and the cost of refining.

Comparison: Buying vs. Selling 10
Grams of 22K Gold

To
make this clearer, let’s look at a hypothetical scenario based on a market gold
price of ₹75,000 for 10 grams of 24K gold.

  Net
  Price
  
  
  ₹79,252
  
  
  ₹66,639
  
 


As
you can see, there is a significant &quot;spread&quot; between what you pay and
what you get back.

Should You Sell or Pledge? The
Liquidity Dilemma

Should
you be in a situation where you require money very quickly, selling your gold
can seem like the fastest way out. But you have to question whether this is a
lasting need or just a passing one.

When
you sell, you lose the asset forever. If the gold price in India continues to
rise, as it historically has, you miss out on that future appreciation. This is
where a gold loan becomes
a strategic alternative. When you opt for a loan, you still own your gold. You
are basically &quot;leasing&quot; cash from your property.

A
practical choice for many is Muthoot Finance, which has been ranked as India’s
No. 1 Most Trusted Financial Services Brand for eight consecutive years by the
TRA Brand Trust Report 2024. With a legacy built over an 800-year family
business history, they offer a way to unlock liquidity without permanently
parting with your family assets.

Recommendations for Maximum Value

In
case selling is the only option, here are some of the things you can do to
avoid being undervalued:

·       Check
the Hallmarking: The BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) hallmark is proof
of purity. A buyer may deduct a higher &quot;melting loss&quot; if the gold is
not hallmarked.

·       Clean
the Jewellery: Dirt and oils can add weight. Make sure the item is
clean before it goes on the scale.

·       Insist
on an Electronic Purity Test: Try to avoid the old
&quot;touchstone&quot; method. Modern X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) machines give an
accurate purity reading without damaging the metal.

·       Compare
the Buy-Back Policy: Check if the original jeweller has a
buy-back policy ]]></description>

<title>Don’t Snooze Your Potential: A Book That Questions the Cost of Comfort in High&amp;Performing Lives</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, India : In a
professional landscape dominated by performance metrics, targets and constant
activity, stagnation often goes unnoticed. It rarely announces itself as
failure. More often, it hides behind routine success, where individuals deliver
consistently but stop evolving internally.

This quieter form of stagnation is the central theme of Don’t Snooze Your Potential, a book by Bhavesh that is gaining attention
for its reflective exploration of growth, comfort and the tendency to postpone
personal development. The book has recently been recognised with the Golden
Wings Book Award 2026, bringing wider visibility to its underlying ideas.

Rather than positioning itself as a motivational manual, the book
presents itself as an inquiry into a question many professionals avoid
confronting: whether being busy and performing well necessarily means one is
still growing.

When Progress Feels Stable but Incomplete

The book examines a condition familiar to many working professionals
and leaders, where expectations are met, careers appear stable and productivity
remains high, yet a sense of inner plateau gradually sets in. Bhavesh frames
this not as burnout or dissatisfaction, but as a quiet settling into comfort
that limits curiosity and challenge.

At its core, Don’t Snooze Your Potential questions the
assumption that visible achievement automatically translates into personal
progress. It highlights how routines that once supported growth can, over time,
become barriers when they remain unquestioned.

A Health Crisis That Forced Reassessment

The reflections in the book are shaped in part by a personal health
episode that brought urgency to these questions. Bhavesh was diagnosed with a
lung tumour and informed that he could potentially lose his entire left lung.

Facing surgery and uncertainty, the experience underscored how often
aspirations and difficult decisions are deferred under the belief that there
will always be time later. The surgery lasted over six hours, and while most of
the lung was saved, recovery was expected to be slow and restrictive.

Within six months, Bhavesh completed a 10 kilometre run and is now
training for a full marathon. While physical endurance is not the focus of the
book, the episode serves as context for its broader reflections on fear,
postponement and intentional growth.

Moving Away from Hustle Narratives

Unlike conventional self-help literature, Don’t Snooze Your
Potential deliberately avoids productivity hacks, rigid frameworks and
exaggerated success stories. It does not promote constant hustle or dramatic
reinvention.

Instead, it focuses on everyday decisions such as starting before
feeling fully ready, choosing discomfort deliberately and recognising where
intent has not translated into action. The book relies on lived observations
and reflective questions rather than instructions, encouraging readers to
examine their own patterns honestly.

Ideas Born in Bengaluru Traffic

Much of Don’t Snooze Your Potential took shape not in isolation or
retreat, but in the daily traffic of Bengaluru, a setting many professionals
associate with frustration and lost time. Instead of viewing those hours as a
disruption, Bhavesh used them to record raw thoughts, reflections and questions
that would later form the foundation of the book.

What is often dismissed as an unavoidable inconvenience became a
creative space, reinforcing one of the book’s central ideas: growth does not
always require new time or ideal conditions, but a shift in how existing
moments are used.

Recognition and Emerging Conversations

Since its release, the book has begun resonating across professional
and student communities. Its receipt of the Golden Wings Book Award 2026
has added momentum to conversations around its themes of comfort, courage and
unrealised potential.

The book has also led to the launch of a podcast that extends these
discussions beyond the written format. Feedback from readers suggests that its
impact lies in prompting pause and reflection rather than urgency or pressure.

Bhavesh has shared that responses have come from readers across age
groups, including a young reader who said the book encouraged them to try new
things without fear, highlighting the universality of its message.

Growth Without Disruption

Don’t Snooze Your Potential does not advocate abandoning stability or pursuing ambition
recklessly. Instead, it reframes growth as a conscious choice that can coexist
with responsibility and structure. It emphasises that meaningful progress is
often internal and may remain invisible until tested by circumstance.

By questioning the habit of waiting for confidence, clarity or perfect
timing, the book contributes to a broader conversation on how individuals define
fulfilment in high-performing environments.

<title>Roofline Realty Karnataka’s Verification&amp;Driven Model Emerges as Blueprint for Safer Property Buying in Bihar</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad, February 4 : As India’s real estate sector continues to
formalise under tighter regulatory frameworks, industry observers are
increasingly highlighting the importance of structured verification and
buyer-centric safeguards — particularly in markets where land documentation and
compliance gaps remain persistent challenges. In this context, Roofline Realty
Karnataka is gaining attention for its comprehensive property verification
model, which experts say could serve as a replicable blueprint for states such
as Bihar.

 

Despite the introduction of the Real Estate (Regulation and
Development) Act (RERA) and ongoing digitisation of land records across India,
structural inefficiencies continue to affect certain regional markets. Bihar’s
real estate ecosystem, for instance, has long been characterised by disputed
land titles, fragmented ownership records, delayed regulatory approvals and
informal brokerage practices that have complicated transactions for both buyers
and developers.

 

Available data indicates that Bihar Real Estate Regulatory Authority
(RERA) has received more than 2,000 complaints against builders and developers,
with a significant number of cases still pending resolution. Industry
stakeholders note that contested land ownership, unclear title histories and
encumbrance-related disputes remain among the most common triggers for
litigation. Additionally, transitional policy phases — including
post-demonetisation adjustments, GST implementation and the initial enforcement
phase of RERA — reportedly led to temporary slowdowns in property
registrations, with volumes dipping by an estimated 25–30 percent in certain
periods.

 

Such conditions have reinforced the need for systematic due diligence
rather than reliance on informal assurances.

 

Responding to similar concerns in its primary operating market,
Roofline Realty Karnataka has institutionalised a structured 10-Step
Verification Process aimed at minimising transactional risk. The framework
includes clean title and ownership chain verification, regulatory approval
compliance checks (including RERA registration validation), encumbrance and
liability audits, developer and broker credibility assessment, on-site physical
inspection of projects, locality and infrastructure evaluation, valuation
benchmarking against prevailing market data, forward-looking compliance risk
assessment, possession timeline verification and final legal documentation
scrutiny.

 

According to the company, this layered approach is designed to
proactively identify legal, structural and regulatory gaps before a property is
introduced to a buyer.

 

“Verification cannot be treated as a formality,” a Roofline Realty
spokesperson said. “In markets where documentation inconsistencies and
regulatory delays have historically affected transactions, buyers need
structured safeguards. Our model ensures that risk mitigation happens before
commitment, not after.”

 

Beyond verification, Roofline also operates on a zero-brokerage model
for buyers. Instead of charging purchasers, the company’s service fee is paid
by developers who benefit from access to transaction-ready, pre-qualified and
pre-informed buyers. The firm says this structure aligns incentives more
closely with transparency and reduces potential conflicts of interest that may
arise in traditional brokerage-driven models, where pricing opacity or
urgency-based selling can affect decision-making.

 

Real estate analysts note that as Bihar continues its land record
modernisation initiatives and strengthens RERA enforcement mechanisms, the
adoption of structured verification frameworks — whether through private
intermediaries, digital due diligence platforms or policy-backed compliance
models — could significantly improve buyer confidence. Greater emphasis on
title clarity, encumbrance transparency and objective valuation benchmarks may
also help reduce prolonged litigation cycles that have historically slowed
market growth.

 

While Roofline’s operations are currently concentrated in Karnataka,
industry observers suggest that the principles underlying its
verification-centric model are adaptable across geographies. As India’s
property markets mature and investor expectations evolve, systematic risk
assessment and customer-aligned engagement models are likely to become defining
features of responsible real estate transactions.

 

In an environment where legal certainty and transparent processes
increasingly determine market credibility, verification-led frameworks may
prove critical in bridging trust deficits and strengthening the foundations of
emerging real estate markets.

<p class="MsoNormal">Such conditions have reinforced the need for systematic due diligence rather than reliance on informal assurances.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Responding to similar concerns in its primary operating market, Roofline Realty Karnataka has institutionalised a structured 10-Step Verification Process aimed at minimising transactional risk. The framework includes clean title and ownership chain verification, regulatory approval compliance checks (including RERA registration validation), encumbrance and liability audits, developer and broker credibility assessment, on-site physical inspection of projects, locality and infrastructure evaluation, valuation benchmarking against prevailing market data, forward-looking compliance risk assessment, possession timeline verification and final legal documentation scrutiny.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to the company, this layered approach is designed to proactively identify legal, structural and regulatory gaps before a property is introduced to a buyer.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Verification cannot be treated as a formality,” a Roofline Realty spokesperson said. “In markets where documentation inconsistencies and regulatory delays have historically affected transactions, buyers need structured safeguards. Our model ensures that risk mitigation happens before commitment, not after.”</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Beyond verification, Roofline also operates on a zero-brokerage model for buyers. Instead of charging purchasers, the company’s service fee is paid by developers who benefit from access to transaction-ready, pre-qualified and pre-informed buyers. The firm says this structure aligns incentives more closely with transparency and reduces potential conflicts of interest that may arise in traditional brokerage-driven models, where pricing opacity or urgency-based selling can affect decision-making.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Real estate analysts note that as Bihar continues its land record modernisation initiatives and strengthens RERA enforcement mechanisms, the adoption of structured verification frameworks — whether through private intermediaries, digital due diligence platforms or policy-backed compliance models — could significantly improve buyer confidence. Greater emphasis on title clarity, encumbrance transparency and objective valuation benchmarks may also help reduce prolonged litigation cycles that have historically slowed market growth.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While Roofline’s operations are currently concentrated in Karnataka, industry observers suggest that the principles underlying its verification-centric model are adaptable across geographies. As India’s property markets mature and investor expectations evolve, systematic risk assessment and customer-aligned engagement models are likely to become defining features of responsible real estate transactions.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In an environment where legal certainty and transparent processes increasingly determine market credibility, verification-led frameworks may prove critical in bridging trust deficits and strengthening the foundations of emerging real estate markets.</p>

<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/bandma-building-strong-foundations-in-indias-secondary-packaging-ecosystem</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/bandma-building-strong-foundations-in-indias-secondary-packaging-ecosystem</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As industrial operations across India continue to scale in speed,
complexity, and volume, secondary and end-of-line packaging has emerged as a
critical pillar of supply chain efficiency. With over 35 years of industry
presence, Bandma has established itself as a trusted force in strengthening
India’s secondary packaging ecosystem, while steadily preparing for a global
footprint.

Guided by its internal philosophy “100 Ki Raftaar, Bandma Taiyar” the
organisation operates with a culture of readiness, speed, and execution at an
industrial scale.

A 35-Year Legacy of Engineering and Trust

Founded by Mr. Sanjay Jain, Bandma was built with a clear objective:
to engineer dependable, industrial-grade secondary packaging solutions that
ensure load stability, operational efficiency, and safety in high-speed
manufacturing and logistics environments.

Over three decades, Bandma has earned industry trust through
engineering precision, ethical business practices, and long-term partnerships.
Today, the organisation operates a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in
Mundka (Delhi) along with 17 regional offices across India, reflecting its
continued investment in advanced production infrastructure and Make-in-India
manufacturing capabilities.

Leadership Driving Scalable Growth

Under the leadership of Managing Director Mr. Sambhav Jain, guided by
the values of his grandfather Lt. Mr. Suresh Chand Jain, Bandma has entered a
phase of accelerated modernisation and scalable growth. With a strong focus on
automation, customised systems, and end-of-line integration, the organisation
has strengthened its ability to support high-volume industrial operations.

In the last two years, Bandma has doubled its team strength, invested
significantly in new-generation manufacturing and packaging machinery, and
expanded operational capacity beyond traditional benchmarks, positioning 
itself as a modern industrial solutions provider.

Integrated Packaging &amp; Automation Solutions

Bandma offers a comprehensive portfolio of secondary and end-of-line
packaging systems, including:

- Automated and semi-automated strapping systems
- Stretch wrapping solutions for pallet
stability
- Custom-engineered secondary packaging
automation
- Fully integrated end-of-line packaging
systems for factories and warehouses

All solutions are engineered for high-throughput environments, reduced
downtime, and seamless workflow integration.



Boxxel: Strengthening System Integration

As part of its expansion strategy, Bandma has introduced Boxxel, a
dedicated vertical focused on automatic conveyor systems. This vertical enables
end-to-end integration by connecting packaging, material handling, and
automation into a unified workflow, enhancing system efficiency and reducing
manual intervention.

Nationwide Presence, Global Vision

With a strong pan-India presence, Bandma continues to strengthen its
sales and service network nationwide. Under its Mission 2027 roadmap, the
company is actively planning overseas expansion with a strategic focus on
Middle East markets, while welcoming global partnerships for sales and service
collaboration.

Parallelly, Bandma continues to invest in R&amp;D, industry-academia
collaboration, and future talent development, working with institutions to
educate students in robotics, automation, and industrial systems, reflecting
its long-term vision of building both infrastructure and talent for India’s
industrial future.

Looking ahead, Bandma remains focused on engineering excellence, deeper
integration, and scalable growth, combining a strong legacy with future-ready
innovation to support industrial supply chains in India and beyond.

Universal School.

A thoughtfully curated behind-the-scenes presentation, curtain call, and a
formal vote of thanks concluded the 56th Annual Day event celebrations. The
two-day event was indeed a remarkable showcase of discipline, creativity, and
excellence. It reflected the school’s strong values, spirit of teamwork,
commitment to holistic education, cultural enrichment and dedication to nurturing
talent across all age groups. Each segment stood as a testament to the
student’s dedication and tireless efforts of the teachers and management.

<title>Novo Medi Sciences Launches ‘G.A.U.R.I.’ — A Nationwide Missed Call Movement to Ensure No Girl Misses Her Right to Immunization</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai, India | February 4, 2026 : Novo Medi Sciences Pvt. Ltd. (Novo Group) has announced the launch
of G.A.U.R.I. (Generating Awareness on Underprivileged Girls’ Right to
Immunization), a nationwide awareness-led vaccination mission designed
to spotlight and support the immunisation rights of underprivileged girl
children across India. At its heart, G.A.U.R.I. is built on a powerful yet
understated belief: ‘Protecting a girl child’s health should never
depend on privilege, geography, or circumstance.’ Through this campaign,
Novo Medi Sciences (Novo Group) aims to transform awareness into action,
starting with something as simple as a missed call. At the end of this
campaign, Novo Medi Sciences hopes to reach millions of Indians and will
provide vaccination to thousands of underprivileged girl children across the
nation with NEXIPOX PLUS® against the deadly chickenpox disease. 

 

In a country as vast and diverse as India, access to
preventive healthcare is often limited not by intent but by awareness and
reach. G.A.U.R.I. addresses this gap by inviting citizens to participate in a
collective public health effort through a simple, cost-free missed call, an
action accessible across languages, regions and socio-economic backgrounds by
leaving a missed call at 9555-466-000. People across the country
are invited to lend their voices to a growing national movement, supporting Novo
Medi Sciences’ commitment to providing NEXIPOX PLUS® (chickenpox) vaccination
to thousands of underprivileged girls. Each missed call raises awareness of the
importance of timely immunization and helps turn public participation into
on-the-ground preventive care.

 

The missed-call awareness phase of G.A.U.R.I. (Generating
Awareness on Underprivileged Girls’ Right to Immunization) started
from 24th January 26  (National Girl Child Day) and
will continue till 30th March 26, allowing sustained
participation over several weeks. This timeline reflects the campaign’s intent
to move beyond a single-day observance and create lasting awareness. Impact and
reach will be tracked through a dedicated microsite that displays a live count
of missed calls received. Every participant will receive an acknowledgement via
a thank-you voice message and an SMS, directing them to the microsite, ensuring
transparency, and reinforcing that each individual action contributes to
real-world change.(www.gauribynovo.com)  

 

Sharing her perspective on the campaign, Forum
Bhagat, Managing Director, Novo Medi Sciences Pvt Ltd. (Novo Group),
said, “G.A.U.R.I. reflects Novo Medi Sciences’ belief that sustainable
public health impact is built through awareness, intent, and collective
participation, often through simple, accessible actions. Expanding on the free
vaccination drive for underprivileged girls conducted last year, the initiative
is now scaling up into a nationwide mission. Its distinct strength lies in
inclusivity, enabling citizens to contribute not through financial support or
decision-making, but by amplifying awareness and facilitating access. By
bringing together thousands of small individual actions, G.A.U.R.I.
demonstrates how collective participation can create meaningful momentum and
support long-term preventive healthcare outcomes.”

 

While G.A.U.R.I. begins with awareness on
underprivileged girls’ right to Immunization, its impact is rooted in
responsible execution. The vaccination phase, which will follow the awareness
drive, will be supported by qualified healthcare professionals to ensure
vaccines are administered safely and ethically, in accordance with medical
guidelines. Healthcare professionals will also play a vital role in
community engagement, helping families understand the importance of
immunisation and guiding them towards appropriate care. 

 

Commenting on the initiative, a spokesperson
from CRY (Child Rights and You), said, “‘We sincerely
appreciate Novo Medi Sciences for their commitment to empowering India&#039;s
children.”

 

Novo Medi Sciences Pvt. Ltd. (Novo Group), through
G.A.U.R.I., reminds the nation that a missed call is never truly ‘missed.’ It
is a quiet yet powerful act of support—simple, free, and open to every Indian.
Without spending a single rupee, anyone can become part of this meaningful
initiative and feel proud of contributing to a larger purpose. This missed call
serves as a silent signal of support for G.A.U.R.I., helping ensure that
underprivileged girls do not miss out on their right to health protection. When
thousands of such small individual actions come together, they turn into a
collective statement—one that says no girl should ever miss her chance at a
healthier future, simply because of the circumstances she was born into.

 

About Novo Medi Sciences (Novo Group):

 

Novo Medi Sciences Pvt. Ltd. (Novo Group) is a
legacy-driven pharmaceutical company with over 80 years of expertise in

<title>Lexington Healthcare Hospitals Expands Limb&amp;Salvage and Vascular Care  in Bengaluru</title>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
This advanced facility is being formally
launched by the Hon’ble Minister for Health &amp; Family Welfare, Government of
Karnataka

Bengaluru,
3rd February 2026 : Lexington Healthcare Hospitals announces a
significant clinical advancement with the introduction of advanced Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), complex vascular interventions, and specialized
wound-care services focused on preventing amputations. Lexington is
strengthening access to advanced limb-salvage care for patients across
Bengaluru 

Operating
on the principle, “Save a Limb, Save a Life,” Lexington Healthcare Hospitals
addresses the growing burden of diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, chronic
non-healing wounds, and infected ulcers. These conditions often lead to
prolonged disability and limb loss when treatment is delayed or fragmented.
Lexington follows an early-intervention, limb-first approach that combines
medical expertise, technology, and coordinated care to improve functional
outcomes and reduce the need for amputation.

“Our
focus extends beyond wound closure,” said the clinical leadership at Lexington.
“It is about helping patients regain mobility, independence, and the confidence
to walk again.”

A
key highlight of this expansion is the introduction of advanced Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). HBOT delivers high-concentration oxygen under controlled
pressure, supporting tissue repair and recovery in chronic diabetic wounds,
ischemic ulcers, post-surgical wounds, and infections that respond poorly to
conventional treatment. By increasing oxygen availability at the cellular
level, HBOT supports healing, reduces tissue damage, and plays an important
role in limb-salvage protocols. This advanced facility is being formally
launched by the Hon’ble Minister for Health &amp; Family Welfare, Government of
Karnataka, reflecting the increasing relevance of specialized wound and
vascular care within the public health landscape.

Lexington
Healthcare Hospitals is led by senior clinicians with more than 25 years of
combined experience in vascular medicine and wound management in the United
States. Dr. Kiran, a senior cardiovascular specialist, manages complex
limb-threatening vascular conditions and high-risk cases with a strong focus on
limb preservation. Dr. Suma, a specialist in hyperbaric medicine and advanced
wound care, brings extensive expertise in diabetic foot management and
structured chronic wound-healing protocols. Their leadership supports
evidence-based clinical decision-making and integrated treatment pathways.

Early
diagnosis and timely treatment play a decisive role in limiting complications
and avoiding limb loss, particularly in patients with diabetes and vascular
disease. These locations serve a wide range of patients, including working
professionals, elderly individuals, and those requiring long-term wound
management.

Patients
who previously faced prolonged immobility, repeated infections, or the prospect
of amputation are now returning to daily life with improved mobility and
function. By combining advanced vascular procedures, structured wound-care
protocols, and HBOT technology, Lexington Healthcare Hospitals continues to
advance outcomes in limb-salvage care. As diabetes and vascular disease
continue to rise, Lexington remains focused on saving limbs, preserving lives,
and restoring dignity. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Repeat investment signals continued conviction
in Biopeak’s approach to longevity and preventive care in India

●       
Capital to expand multidisciplinary
specialist-led clinics, diagnostics, proprietary AI and research, including a
new flagship centre in Bengaluru

●       
Biopeak is focused on strengthening healthspan
at a population level through clinically grounded, India-first care models

Bengaluru,
India, February 3, 2026: Biopeak, India’s
first longevity and health optimisation brand, has raised 2.7Mn in its latest
funding round led by repeat investor Nikhil Kamath. The follow-on investment
reflects continued conviction in Biopeak’s work to build structured, preventive
care systems for longevity in India. 

While
India has made significant progress in acute and episodic care, organised
clinical models focused on early detection, longitudinal tracking, and
healthspan remain limited. Biopeak is addressing this gap by building
multidisciplinary specialist-led programs that combine diagnostics, proprietary
AI-driven insights, targeted clinical interventions, and sustained follow-up
over time. Its approach is designed around Indian health profiles and disease
patterns, enabling early risk identification, health optimisation, and
supported recovery and regeneration. 

Over
the past year, Biopeak has continued to expand its clinical programs and deliver
measurable outcomes for clients, reflecting growing demand for structured,
specialist-led preventive and longevity care. The capital will be used to
expand Biopeak’s presence and deepen capabilities across diagnostics,
proprietary AI, research, and program development. This includes the launch of
a new flagship centre in Bengaluru, continued investment in clinical longevity
programs, and team expansion across clinical, research, product, and
operations. Building on growing consumer acceptance, Biopeak is strengthening
its network of global advisors and institutional partners to advance protocol
development and clinical governance.

Commenting
on the fundraise, Rishi Pardal, Co-founder and CEO, Biopeak, said,
“In India, we’re seeing a real shift in how people think about health, not just
when something goes wrong, but how they stay well over time. What’s been
missing is a clinical system that connects diagnostics, specialists, and
follow-up into one long-term view of health. That’s what we’re focused on building
at Biopeak. The validation of the model over the past year has given investors
the confidence to deepen their commitment, and Nikhil’s continued support
reflects a shared belief that longevity in India needs to be built
carefully,with strong clinical foundations and the right partnerships.”

Biopeak
has steadily expanded its clinical programs and patient engagement as interest
in structured preventive and longevity-focused care grows. The company’s model
centres on multidisciplinary specialist teams supported by diagnostics and
longitudinal health data, enabling more informed and consistent clinical
decision-making over time.

About
Biopeak

Founded
by Rishi Pardal and Shiva Subramanian, Biopeak is India’s first longevity and
health optimisation brand, delivering AI-driven, science-backed longevity
programs tailored for high achievers, CXOs, and women. By combining advanced
diagnostics, a multidisciplinary team of specialists,  wearable data, and global health insights

<description><![CDATA[ India,
3rd Feb 2026 : WishCare has unveiled its Head to Toe
Sunscreen range with creator,director, singer, entrepreneur Sejal Kumar as the
face of its latest campaign, spotlighting sun protection designed for the
realities of today’s multifaceted lives.

Rooted
in a simple yet powerful idea, that sun care should keep pace with everyday
ambition rather than complicate it, the collaboration brings together
WishCare’s science backed innovation and Sejal’s lifestyle ethos, marked by
fluid transitions between roles and environments. The campaign underscores that
protection from UV exposure has become an integral part of daily life, whether
during commutes, outdoor moments or creative pursuits, and should feel as
effortless as the life it protects

SPF
Protection That Moves With You

WishCare’s
Head to Toe Sunscreen range is designed for consistent daily use across
different settings and sun exposed areas of the body. The range offers
effective coverage that feels light, non greasy and easy to incorporate into
everyday routines, making protection intuitive rather than intrusive and is
tested for InVivo SPF50 Protection .

The
range consists of Niacinamide Oil Balance Fluid Sunscreen for Face, Sunscreen
Body Lotion for Body and Ceramide Lip Balm SPF50 for Lips, each of it to be
multifunctional in its own way.



The
Head to Toe Sunscreen line is created with performance and simplicity in mind,
aimed at individuals whose days are defined by movement, transitions and
overlapping responsibilities rather than pauses.

A
Modern Face for Modern Sun Care

Sejal
Kumar was a natural choice to front the campaign, for what she represents. As a
Digital creator, singer, actor and producer she reflects a generation that
refuses to be limited to a single identity. Her ability to navigate multiple
roles mirrors the adaptability that WishCare seeks to champion through its
products.

Her
presence lends authenticity and relatability to the campaign, reinforcing the
idea that self care products should support evolving lifestyles without
demanding rigid routines.

Shot
on the streets of Gurgaon, the campaign follows Sejal Kumar doing her
multifunctional routine: hustling in the morning, running errands, travelling
and juggling amongst her different roles. Her ability to navigate multiple
roles mirrors the adaptability that WishCare seeks to champion through its
products.

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad,
India: 3rd Feb 2026 :  Bartronics India Limited (BIL) (ASMS / 532694
INE855F01042) today reported a net profit of ₹2.44 crore in
Q3 FY26, marking a significant reversal from the loss of ₹0.32 Cr last year
during the same period. Revenue and EBITDA have risen to ₹48.35 Cr and ₹2.60
Cr, compared to ₹8.70 Cr and ₹0.37 Cr, respectively, YoY. These numbers top a
robust nine-month period for the company, with deep roots in rural India, where
its revenue and net profit have grown over 120% and 370%, respectively, YoY.

Commenting
on the results, N Vidhya Sagar Reddy, MD at Bartronics India said, “Our
Q3 performance reflects the strength of our rural franchise and the scalability
of our transformation strategy. We have consistently pursued strategies that
lie at the convergence of financial inclusion, agri-tech, and health-tech. Our
efforts and decisions have paid us handsome dividends this FY. We have been
able to build a unified platform that delivers sustainable growth and long-term
value for stakeholders. We will continue to pursue the development of AI-driven
rural solutions, and supply-chain digitisation opportunities to accelerate
growth while maintaining governance discipline and capital efficiency.”

BIL
operates across nearly 5,000 villages in 10 states, serving many rural citizens
through its Banking Correspondent network. In December 2025, the company
launched Project AVIO, a unified rural platform aimed at digitally onboarding
20 million farmers, establishing 1,000 Smart Agri Stores, and facilitating
rural commerce transactions targeting USD 1 billion Gross Merchandise Value
over the next three years. The platform will offer a phased suite of services
including agri-inputs, digital advisory, embedded finance, carbon and climate
services, market linkages and supply-chain support, leveraging data analytics
and AI to improve farm productivity, income stability and market access.

Alongside
agri-tech, BIL has diversified into health-tech through a partnership with
Huwel Life Sciences, focusing on molecular diagnostics including the
ICMR-approved Quantiplus® TB Fast Detection Kit. The company maintains clear
separation between its agri-tech and health-tech verticals while expanding its
ecosystem.

Together, they translate architectural vision into well-crafted, functional
spaces that residents can experience and rejoice in their everyday lives.

At
the heart of the campaign is Piramal Realty’s belief that great design is about
purposeful use of space - enhancing everyday living, more than simply adding
visual appeal. 

That
belief has shaped landmarks that now stand delivered across the city. India’s
second tallest residential tower delivered at Piramal Aranya, Byculla.
Panoramic racecourse views open up as everyday living at Piramal Mahalaxmi.
Thane’s first ISKCON temple finds its place within a residential community at Piramal
Vaikunth. Homes beside Mumbai’s largest green cover - Sanjay Gandhi
National Park now delivered at Piramal Revanta, Mulund. A state of the
art corporate park and office spaces delivered at Piramal Agastya in Kurla.

Together,
these examples underscore a consistent design philosophy grounded in usability,
longevity, and lived experience. The campaign is backed by a strong execution
record. Over the last two years, the company has delivered over 4,200 homes in
21 towers, spanning more than 6.2 million sq. ft. of developed area.

Speaking
on the campaign, Abhijeet Maheshwari, CEO, Piramal Realty, said, “In
Real estate, design is often spoken about as aspiration. We wanted to reframe
this conversation around outcomes. At Piramal Realty, design excellence is
meaningful only when it is delivered responsibly and experienced by residents.
This campaign reflects our belief that smart design and disciplined delivery
must go hand in hand. Because excellence is not proven in imagination—but in
what finally stands delivered.”

The
campaign adopts a bold outdoor and digital-led visual language, integrating a
distinctive ribbon motif seamlessly into Piramal Realty’s delivered landmarks
across Mumbai. A ribbon that symbolises the act of honouring a commitment with
care and discipline. Rather than showcasing under-construction promises, the visuals
anchor the brand narrative in completed, functioning developments, reinforcing
the idea that Piramal Realty’s story is built on what already delivered — not
what is yet to come.

In
an industry where visibility is often driven by launches and future projections,
Piramal Realty’s campaign takes a differentiated stance. It places smartly
designed, delivered spaces at the centre of its brand story. It reinforces a
clear message - enduring trust in real estate is built not through
announcements, but through design that works and delivery that endures.

<title>Shyam Sunder Jindal welcomes Budget 2026 push for domestic battery and solar glass manufacturing</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/shyam-sunder-jindal-welcomes-budget-2026-push-for-domestic-battery-and-solar-glass-manufacturing</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ February
3, 2026 : Shyam Sunder Jindal, Promoter of BC Jindal
Group, has applauded the Union Budget 2026 for its strong focus on boosting
domestic manufacturing for India&#039;s clean energy ambitions.

Sharing
his views on the announcements, Shyam Sunder Jindal
said, “In the Budget 2026, it is encouraging to note the Government’s focus on
domestic manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries and solar glass to augment
India’s goal of installing 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030.
Extending the exemption from basic customs duty on capital goods used for
manufacturing lithium-ion cells for battery energy storage systems, and on
sodium antimonate used in solar glass, are welcome steps. This move is poised
to play a constructive role in building a power sector that is capable of
seamlessly catering to India’s growing energy needs while supporting the
country’s clean energy transition.”

India
marked a record-breaking year in its clean energy journey in 2025, with
non-fossil fuel installed capacity rising to 266.78 GW, reflecting a 22.6 per
cent increase. With the addition of over 49 GW of new non-fossil capacity,
India continues to see rapid growth in renewable capacity. Thus, an emphasis on
local manufacturing will complement the country’s expanding solar and storage
infrastructure.

Founded
in 1952, the BC Jindal Group,
led by Shyam Sunder Jindal, has steadily expanded its presence across sectors
such as packaging films, energy and steel products. ]]></description>

<title>AI Finance Leadership Summit 2026 Brings Industry Leaders and Learners Together for Clarity on the Future of Finance Careers in AI Era</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi | February 2026 : The AI Finance Leadership Summit 2026
(AIFLS’26) concluded successfully at the C. D. Deshmukh Auditorium, India
International Centre, New Delhi, drawing strong participation from students,
early-career professionals, educators, and senior finance leaders. The summit
was also attended by a wider audience through live online participation.

 

Designed as a focused dialogue between
industry and academia, the summit examined how artificial intelligence is
reshaping finance roles, hiring expectations, and long-term career pathways.

 

The event centred on real-world
perspectives from CFOs and senior finance professionals who are navigating
these changes in practice.

 

Across three panel discussions, speakers
explored themes such as skills that matter for finance careers in India, the
global demand for finance and accounting talent, and the evolving debate around
AI versus the accountant—what changes, what remains, and where human judgement
continues to be critical. A dedicated fireside chat on upskilling further
addressed how students and professionals can adapt their learning approaches in
an AI-enabled environment.

 


 


 

A key takeaway from the summit was the
importance of integrating professional qualifications with industry relevant
skills and strong human skills—including communication, decision-making, and
adaptability—to remain relevant in a technology-driven finance ecosystem.
Speakers emphasised that while AI will automate processes, the value of finance
professionals increasingly lies in interpretation, context, and leadership.

 

The summit was supported by
organisations across the education and EdTech ecosystem.

 

EduMont Classes supported the initiative
with its focus on enabling learners to pursue globally recognised professional
qualifications such as CPA and CMA.

 

 
 


 

Oaktree School of Finance contributed
with its emphasis on industry-ready skill development and strong human centric
skills

 

 Hierank Business School supported
the summit through its commitment to aligning academic learning with evolving
industry expectations.

 

The successful conclusion of AIFLS’26
reinforced the relevance of collaborative forums that bring together industry
leaders, educators, and learners to navigate the changing landscape of finance
with greater understanding and preparedness. ]]></description>

<title>Indian Startup Rising Roots Ventures Enters Oral Care Space with Tidiyo Tongue Cleaning Kit</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indian-startup-rising-roots-ventures-enters-oral-care-space-with-tidiyo-tongue-cleaning-kit</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indian-startup-rising-roots-ventures-enters-oral-care-space-with-tidiyo-tongue-cleaning-kit</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Bengaluru, India:
Rising Roots Ventures (OPC) Private Limited has announced the launch of Tidiyo,
an innovative oral care brand focused on solving one of the most overlooked
hygiene problems—bad breath caused by tongue bacteria. The brand’s first
product, the Tidiyo
Tongue Cleaning Kit, is now available in India.

 

While toothpaste and mouthwash are widely used for
oral hygiene, studies and dental insights show that a major percentage
of odor-causing bacteria accumulate on the tongue, not the teeth. Addressing
this gap, Tidiyo introduces a tongue-focused oral care solution
designed to eliminate bad breath at its source.

 

The Tidiyo Tongue Cleaning Kit includes a specially
formulated tongue coating paste along with a precision-designed
tongue cleaner. The paste works by breaking down odor-causing bacteria, helping
users achieve long-lasting freshness rather than temporary masking of bad
breath.

 

According to the company, the formulation is crafted
to be gentle yet effective, supporting overall tongue hygiene while helping
maintain elasticity and oral comfort. Unlike conventional oral products that
focus primarily on teeth, Tidiyo’s approach centers on tongue care as a
critical pillar of daily oral hygiene.

 

Rajasekar V, Founder of
Rising Roots Ventures (OPC) Private Limited, said:
“Bad breath is a common problem, but most solutions only address the surface.
The tongue holds maximum bacteria, and that’s where the real issue starts. With
Tidiyo, we wanted to create a simple, practical product that directly targets
the root cause rather than offering short-term fixes.”

 

The launch of Tidiyo aligns with the growing demand
for preventive and problem-specific personal care products in
India. Designed for daily use, the Tongue Cleaning Kit is suitable for
individuals seeking improved oral hygiene as part of their regular routine.

 

The product is now available online via the official
website:

https://bit.ly/4buSOaz

 

With this launch, Rising Roots Ventures aims to build
Tidiyo into a trusted oral care brand that encourages consumers to rethink
conventional hygiene habits and adopt more effective, science-backed solutions. ]]></description>

<title>Union Budget 2026: CA Abhay Bhutada Shares Views on Key Economic Priorities</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/union-budget-2026-ca-abhay-bhutada-shares-views-on-key-economic-priorities</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/union-budget-2026-ca-abhay-bhutada-shares-views-on-key-economic-priorities</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Following the tabling of the Union Budget 2026-27 by
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, CA Abhay Bhutada, Entrepreneur,
Philanthropist, &amp; Chairman of the Abhay Bhutada Foundation and
TAB Global Ventures, shared his views on the budget’s priorities.

 

Prepared in Kartavya Bhawan, the budget is anchored
around three core Kartavyas: accelerating and sustaining economic growth,
building the capacity and aspirations of people, and ensuring inclusive access
to opportunities in line with the vision of Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas.

 

Banking, NBFC Reforms and Tax Simplification

 

Bhutada highlighted the proposal to set up a
High-Level Committee on Banking for Viksit Bharat as a timely reform to review
the sector’s readiness for the next phase of growth. He also pointed to the
restructuring of Power Finance Corporation and Rural Electrification
Corporation as a move to improve scale, efficiency and long-term infrastructure
financing in public sector NBFCs.

 

“As credit demand expands, aligning stability,
inclusion and consumer protection will be critical for sustaining confidence in
the financial system,” CA Abhay
Bhutada said.

 

On taxation, Bhutada said the new Income Tax Act,
effective April 2026, along with simplified TDS and TCS provisions and extended
timelines for return revisions, could materially reduce compliance friction and
litigation, improving ease of doing business.

 

Support for MSMEs and Capital Access

 

Bhutada, a Chartered Accountant, said the creation of
a ₹10,000 crore SME Growth Fund is a targeted step towards building “Champion
SMEs” by providing growth-stage risk capital linked to defined performance
criteria. He also highlighted the additional ₹2,000 crore allocation to the
Self-Reliant India Fund, which reinforces continued access to risk capital for
micro enterprises.

 

He noted that the involvement of professional bodies
such as ICAI, ICSI and ICMAI in developing short-term, practical programmes for
“Corporate Mitras”, particularly in Tier II and Tier III towns, could
strengthen financial discipline, compliance readiness and governance among
small businesses.

 

Technology, Data Centres, and Global Investment

 

On the technology front, Abhay Bhutada said the budget
sends a clear signal to position India as a global data and digital services
hub. Tax holidays for foreign cloud service providers using Indian data centres,
along with rationalised safe harbour norms and automated approvals for IT
services, provide greater certainty for long-term investment and exports.

<title>Rasayanam Liver Detox for Fatty Liver Addresses a Silent Lifestyle Condition</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rasayanam-liver-detox-for-fatty-liver-addresses-a-silent-lifestyle-condition</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Faridabad,
India - 2nd February 2026 :  With​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌
the increasing number of lifestyle-related liver issues in India, Rasayanam has
launched a natural, scientifically backed product to support fatty liver and
overall liver health over time.





Fatty
liver, particularly grade 1 fatty liver, usually comes up without a person
realizing it. Its initial symptoms, like fatigue, feeling bloated, acidity, or
low energy, are very familiar and thus ignored. Modern living, processed foods,
excess sugars, alcohol, stress, and long hours of sitting without movement
continuously put the liver under stress without us noticing. Even healthy
individuals are now being diagnosed with fatty liver grade 1, which makes the
need for early and gentle treatment extremely crucial. Seeing how modern,
hectic lifestyles silently strain the liver and contribute to fatty liver,
Rasayanam created Liver Detox which is a natural
liver cleanser that supports detoxification, healing, and daily liver function.

Why Targeted Nutritional Support Matters for
Fatty Liver Recovery

Although​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ diet and exercise are
very important, the liver usually requires a focused nutritional support in
order to be healed efficiently.

Rasayanam Liver Detox is formulated as a daily
liver detox for fatty liver. It provides the necessary nutrients to the liver
for the whole duration of the therapy and does not act as a quick cleanse only.
A blend of 9 ingredients, each having its own unique effects but working
together in synergy to support detoxification, repair, and protection, makes up
1000 mg per serving.

Why
this natural liver cleanser works:





●     
Milk Thistle (80% Silymarin):
Helps protect liver cells, reduce fat buildup, and support healthy enzyme
levels.

●     
NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine):
Boosts glutathione, the liver’s master antioxidant, aiding detox and repair.
Kutki, Kalmegh &amp; Bhumyamalaki: Ayurvedic herbs that aid in bile
flow, digestion and healing fatty liver

●     
Turmeric &amp; Dandelion:
Natural detoxifiers that help reduce inflammation and digestive stress.

●     
Zinc &amp; Selenium:
Vital​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ antioxidants assisting with liver enzymes and cellular
defense.





Together, this 9-blend formula supports:





●       
Management of fatty liver grade 1

●       
Better digestion and reduced bloating

●       
Balanced liver enzymes

●       
Long-term liver resilience against daily
toxins





“Fatty
liver today is largely driven by lifestyle, not just alcohol,” said a Rasayanam
spokesperson. “Our goal with Rasayanam Liver Detox was to create a natural
liver cleanser that supports real recovery, not a harsh cleanse, but daily
nourishment backed by science.”





They added, “By
combining clinically proven actives like milk thistle and NAC with Ayurvedic
liver healers, we’ve built a formula that supports detox, repair, and protection
together.”





What
Science Says About Early Fatty Liver Intervention

Clinical studies have shown that milk thistle
and NAC may help improve liver enzyme levels, reduce oxidative stress, and
support fatty liver management. The research also highlights that early
intervention in fatty liver grade 1 can prevent progression when supported by
nutrition, activity and consistent care.

<title>Axis Max Life Celebrates Everyday Heroes as ‘Bharosa Tum Ho’ Brand Campaign Enters Its Next Chapter</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/axis-max-life-celebrates-everyday-heroes-as-bharosa-tum-ho-brand-campaign-enters-its-next-chapter</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/axis-max-life-celebrates-everyday-heroes-as-bharosa-tum-ho-brand-campaign-enters-its-next-chapter</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi  : Axis Max Life Insurance Limited (“Axis Max Life” / “Company”), formerly known as Max Life Insurance
Company Limited, has unveiled an exciting new chapter of its flagship brand
campaign, ‘Bharosa Tum Ho’. The campaign centres on ‘Trust’ as its
emotional anchor, while evolving the narrative to spotlight the individual’s
role as the primary protector of their family.

 

Through simple, human
storytelling, the campaign portrays brand ambassadors Rohit Sharma and
Ritika Sajdeh not as celebrities, but as a relatable couple navigating
life’s shared responsibilities. This reinforces Axis Max Life’s positioning as
a trusted partner across Savings, Protection, and Retirement categories. 

 

Rahul Talwar, Director &amp;
Chief Marketing Officer, Axis Max Life, said, “At Axis Max Life, Trust is earned through
action, starting with our consistent commitment to honouring claims and
protecting families when they need us most. In a post-GST landscape where
protection is a core financial priority, our superior claims settlement ratio
is the ultimate validation of the &#039;Bharosa&#039; we offer. We are now evolving this
narrative from reassurance to personal responsibility by welcoming Allu Sirish
into our Rohit-Ritika universe. This vibrant convergence of Cinema and Cricket
within our refreshed ‘Bharosa Tum Ho’ brand campaign makes conversations around
protection more life-stage relevant, and culturally resonant. With this
campaign, our objective remains clear: to make protection relatable and rooted
in trust that is proven, not promised.”

 

The campaign is anchored by two
affable films that capture the essence of protection from different angles. The
first thematic film delves into an intimate, real-life context and captures the
raw, emotional journey of welcoming a baby, positioning Rohit Sharma as the
new-age father. Moving beyond the traditional role of a &#039;provider,&#039; Rohit
represents the selfless caregiver who is as much an equal contributor and
nurturer as he is a cricketer. This film highlights the father’s role, which is
rooted in empathy, presence, and a deeper commitment to the child&#039;s future.

 

The second film brings together a
rare cultural intersection of India’s biggest passions - Cricket and
Cinema. The campaign introduces South Indian actor Allu
Sirish alongside Rohit and Ritika in an entertaining
narrative that bridges the world of cricket with the vibrant flair of the film
industry. Building a meaningful dialogue around financial protection through
the charisma of three of India’s most loved personalities, the collaboration
creates a palpable magic and bonhomie unseen before. 

 

The seven-week media outreach
deploys a high-impact, integrated media mix across Linear Television
(News, General entertainment channels, and regional channels), YouTube, and
Meta. Launching during the high-buzz January - March (JFM)
quarter, the campaign aims to enhance brand recall and strengthen Axis Max
Life’s position as a trusted partner across all customer life stages.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>New Delhi  :</span></b><span> </span><span lang="EN-IN"><a href="https://www.axismaxlife.com/"><b><span lang="EN-US">Axis Max Life Insurance Limited</span></b></a></span><b><span> </span></b><span>(“Axis Max Life” / “Company”), formerly known as Max Life Insurance Company Limited, has unveiled an exciting new chapter of its flagship brand campaign, <b>‘Bharosa Tum Ho</b>’. The campaign centres on ‘Trust’ as its emotional anchor, while evolving the narrative to spotlight the individual’s role as the primary protector of their family.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Through simple, human storytelling, the campaign portrays brand ambassadors <b>Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh</b> not as celebrities, but as a relatable couple navigating life’s shared responsibilities. This reinforces Axis Max Life’s positioning as a trusted partner across <b>Savings, Protection, and Retirement </b>categories. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Rahul Talwar, Director &amp; Chief Marketing Officer, Axis Max Life, said, </span></b><i><span>“At Axis Max Life, Trust is earned through action, starting with our consistent commitment to honouring claims and protecting families when they need us most. In a post-GST landscape where protection is a core financial priority, our superior claims settlement ratio is the ultimate validation of the 'Bharosa' we offer. We are now evolving this narrative from reassurance to personal responsibility by welcoming Allu Sirish into our Rohit-Ritika universe. This vibrant convergence of Cinema and Cricket within our refreshed ‘Bharosa Tum Ho’ brand campaign makes conversations around protection more life-stage relevant, and culturally resonant. With this campaign, our objective remains clear: to make protection relatable and rooted in trust that is proven, not promised.”</span></i><span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The campaign is anchored by two affable films that capture the essence of protection from different angles. The first thematic film delves into an intimate, real-life context and captures the raw, emotional journey of welcoming a baby, positioning Rohit Sharma as the new-age father. Moving beyond the traditional role of a 'provider,' Rohit represents the selfless caregiver who is as much an equal contributor and nurturer as he is a cricketer. This film highlights the father’s role, which is rooted in empathy, presence, and a deeper commitment to the child's future.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The second film brings together a rare cultural intersection of India’s biggest passions - <b>Cricket and Cinema</b>. The campaign introduces South Indian actor <b>Allu Sirish </b>alongside <b>Rohit and Ritika </b>in an entertaining narrative that bridges the world of cricket with the vibrant flair of the film industry. Building a meaningful dialogue around financial protection through the charisma of three of India’s most loved personalities, the collaboration creates a palpable magic and bonhomie unseen before. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The seven-week media outreach deploys a high-impact, integrated media mix across <b>Linear Television (News, General entertainment channels, and regional channels), YouTube, and Meta</b>. Launching during the high-buzz <b>January - March (JFM)</b> quarter, the campaign aims to enhance brand recall and strengthen Axis Max Life’s position as a trusted partner across all customer life stages.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ The MR system is the latest addition to
     Wipro GE Healthcare’s Pioneering ‘Made in India’ product suite
        
 AI‑powered by AIR Recon DL™ and AIR™ Coils
     to streamline workflows, improve patient experience and optimize patient
     outcomes 
 Green from site to scan — powered by
     intelligent magnet technology that reduces helium consumption and supports
     sustainable operations 


 Hyderabad, India, January 31, 2026 : Wipro GE Healthcare, a leading global
medical technology, diagnostics, and digital solutions innovator, today
announced the launch of SIGNA™ Prime Elite, its latest MR imaging system, at
the Indian Radiological and Imaging Association (IRIA) 2026 Annual Conference
in Hyderabad.  Manufactured at Wipro GE Healthcare’s MDM facility - the
company’s PLI factory, SIGNA™ Prime Elite is the latest addition to its
pioneering ‘Made in India’ portfolio. The MR system combines advanced imaging
intelligence with patient‑centric design to deliver faster, more comfortable
scans and improved diagnostic confidence.

 

India is witnessing a sharp rise
in noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which account for over 66% of all deaths, underscoring an urgent
need for early detection and advanced diagnostic solutions. SIGNA™ Prime Elite
has been engineered for faster scan times, precision‑led diagnosis, and
enhanced workflow efficiency, empowering clinicians with greater diagnostic
confidence to deliver high‑quality care. Powered by AIR Recon DL™, a deep‑learning
image reconstruction technology, the system offers sharper image clarity,
reduced noise, and faster scan times. These innovations improve diagnostic
confidence while shortening the patient journey.

 

“As a proud local partner in
India’s healthcare journey, our purpose goes beyond products. Our focus is long‑term
and local – to Make in India, and lead from India. With SIGNA™ Prime Elite, we
are expanding our strong portfolio of Made in India MedTech, designed to expand
access, elevate clinical confidence, and deliver reliability at scale. We are
investing in localization—not as a project, but as a strategy—to power
sustainable growth for India’s healthcare system,” said Chaitanya Sarawate,
Managing Director, Wipro GE Healthcare and President &amp; CEO, GE HealthCare
South Asia.  

 

“We are proud to introduce the
SIGNA™ Prime Elite — a powerful new addition to Wipro GE Healthcare’s
pioneering Made-in-India portfolio and a significant milestone in our mission
to expand access to world‑class diagnostic technology across the country.
 This breakthrough platform has been engineered to maximize diagnostic
potential while delivering clinical excellence at the speed and scale India
needs today. With SIGNA™ Prime Elite we are bringing advanced MR innovation and
the power of AI to imaging in a way that truly transforms care,” said
Raghavendra Rao, Business Head – Imaging, Wipro GE Healthcare South Asia.

 

Compared to non‑deep learning GE
HealthCare scanners, SIGNA™ Prime Elite achieves up to 37% reduction in table
time*, enabling quicker throughput. AI‑enabled workflow solutions further
streamline MR exams, with AIR Touch™ automatically selecting optimal coil
combinations, while AIR x™ applies ‘deep learning’ to detect anatomy and
prescribe MRI slices — even in complex neurological and knee cases. Together,
these tools eliminate sources of variation, improve reproducibility, and allow
clinicians to focus on patients. Additionally, the MR system’s blanket‑like
AIR™ Coils allow natural positioning and shorten preparation time, while a
flared bore entrance with feet‑first scanning adds clearance and headspace,
easing exams for claustrophobic patients.

 

SIGNA™ Prime Elite is green from
site to scan. Its compact footprint and lower 60 KVA power consumption make
installation easier, enabling hospitals and diagnostic centers beyond major
metros to offer advanced MR imaging and expand access to
care. Additionally, with Intelligent Magnet Technology reducing helium use
by up to 75%*, the solution supports more sustainable operations while
redefining the future of MR imaging.

 

Wipro GE Healthcare is among the
first MedTech companies to ‘Make in India - for India and the world’ over the
past three decades.  In 2024, Wipro GE Healthcare announced an investment
of over INR8000 Crores in manufacturing output &amp; local R&amp;D over next 5
years.

<title>India’s Mental Well&amp;Being Landscape Sees a Shift with the Launch of NLP Gurukul(™) by Partha Roy</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indias-mental-well-being-landscape-sees-a-shift-with-the-launch-of-nlp-gurukul-by-partha-roy</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indias-mental-well-being-landscape-sees-a-shift-with-the-launch-of-nlp-gurukul-by-partha-roy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ &quot;India’s mental well‑being is at a
crossroads. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the country
carries one of the world’s highest treatment gaps in mental health—between 70%
and 92% of people needing care do not receive it. With only about one
psychiatrist per 100,000 people and an age‑adjusted suicide rate of 21.1 per
100,000, India faces a crisis that touches workplaces, families, and communities
alike. Rising stress among youth and professionals makes the need for
innovative, culturally resonant interventions more urgent than ever.”

 

According to industry observers, India faces a
significant gap between the requirement for trained mental well-being
professionals and their actual availability. With a vast population and
increasing psychological stressors, the existing professional-to-population
ratio remains far from adequate. This gap is especially visible in corporates,
MSMEs and emerging business ecosystems where performance pressure, uncertainty
and rapid change directly impact employee productivity and leadership
effectiveness.

 

Corporates and micro, small and medium
enterprises are increasingly recognising that mental well-being is not just a
personal issue but a strategic business priority. Organisations that actively
invest in emotional resilience, clarity of thinking and behavioural alignment
report improved engagement, better decision-making and sustained performance.
However, many still struggle to find practical frameworks that move beyond
awareness into measurable transformation.

 

Addressing this need, NLP Gurukul(™)has been
launched as a curated, internationally certified Neuro Linguistic Programming
workshop designed to ensure learning, retention and immediate real-world
application. The initiative focuses on creating sustainable internal shifts
that emerge naturally through awareness and structured practice, rather than
temporary motivational interventions.

 

The core theme driving the initiative, led by
Partha Roy, is “Create Sustainable Shift(™)” The approach emphasises long-term
behavioural alignment, clarity of communication and emotional regulation that
participants can apply across professional and personal contexts. By integrating
globally recognised NLP methodologies with contextual relevance for Indian
audiences, the programme aims to develop competent mental well-being
practitioners and conscious leaders.

 

To ensure maximum reach and accessibility, the
trainings are delivered through a hybrid model that combines in-person sessions
with advanced online learning techniques. This format enables participants from
different geographies to engage deeply with the curriculum while maintaining
flexibility. The hybrid structure also supports consistent follow-up, practice
and reinforcement, which are critical for lasting change.

 

A key focus of the initiative is expanding
access beyond metropolitan centres. NLP Gurukul(™)plans to actively reach Tier
2 cities, where awareness is growing but professional training opportunities
remain limited. By creating a steady pipeline of trained mental well-being
professionals across regions, the programme aims to decentralise expertise and
make support more locally available.

 

Regular sessions conducted every month further
ensure continuity and scalability. This structured frequency allows
individuals, corporates and aspiring practitioners to enter the ecosystem at
multiple points throughout the year, making participation more inclusive.

 

“Partha Roy as part of his Create Sustainable
Shift endeavour has brought Next Level NLP workshops on Mental Space Psychology
originated by Dr. Lucas Derks ..that works on the hypothesis that SPACE IS THE
PRIMARY ORGANISING PRINCIPLE OF THE MIND “ .

 

At its core, the initiative is driven by the
belief that mental well-being should be reachable and affordable for all. By
combining certification, practical tools and sustained learning frameworks, NLP
Gurukul(™) positions itself as a step towards bridging India’s growing mental
well-being gap while empowering individuals to create meaningful, lasting
change.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">"India’s mental well‑being is at a crossroads. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the country carries one of the world’s highest treatment gaps in mental health—between 70% and 92% of people needing care do not receive it. With only about one psychiatrist per 100,000 people and an age‑adjusted suicide rate of 21.1 per 100,000, India faces a crisis that touches workplaces, families, and communities alike. Rising stress among youth and professionals makes the need for innovative, culturally resonant interventions more urgent than ever.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">According to industry observers, India faces a significant gap between the requirement for trained mental well-being professionals and their actual availability. With a vast population and increasing psychological stressors, the existing professional-to-population ratio remains far from adequate. This gap is especially visible in corporates, MSMEs and emerging business ecosystems where performance pressure, uncertainty and rapid change directly impact employee productivity and leadership effectiveness.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Corporates and micro, small and medium enterprises are increasingly recognising that mental well-being is not just a personal issue but a strategic business priority. Organisations that actively invest in emotional resilience, clarity of thinking and behavioural alignment report improved engagement, better decision-making and sustained performance. However, many still struggle to find practical frameworks that move beyond awareness into measurable transformation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Addressing this need, NLP Gurukul(™)has been launched as a curated, internationally certified Neuro Linguistic Programming workshop designed to ensure learning, retention and immediate real-world application. The initiative focuses on creating sustainable internal shifts that emerge naturally through awareness and structured practice, rather than temporary motivational interventions.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The core theme driving the initiative, led by Partha Roy, is “Create Sustainable Shift(™)” The approach emphasises long-term behavioural alignment, clarity of communication and emotional regulation that participants can apply across professional and personal contexts. By integrating globally recognised NLP methodologies with contextual relevance for Indian audiences, the programme aims to develop competent mental well-being practitioners and conscious leaders.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">To ensure maximum reach and accessibility, the trainings are delivered through a hybrid model that combines in-person sessions with advanced online learning techniques. This format enables participants from different geographies to engage deeply with the curriculum while maintaining flexibility. The hybrid structure also supports consistent follow-up, practice and reinforcement, which are critical for lasting change.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">A key focus of the initiative is expanding access beyond metropolitan centres. NLP Gurukul(™)plans to actively reach Tier 2 cities, where awareness is growing but professional training opportunities remain limited. By creating a steady pipeline of trained mental well-being professionals across regions, the programme aims to decentralise expertise and make support more locally available.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Regular sessions conducted every month further ensure continuity and scalability. This structured frequency allows individuals, corporates and aspiring practitioners to enter the ecosystem at multiple points throughout the year, making participation more inclusive.</span></p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">“Partha Roy as part of his Create Sustainable Shift endeavour has brought Next Level NLP workshops on Mental Space Psychology originated by Dr. Lucas Derks ..that works on the hypothesis that SPACE IS THE PRIMARY ORGANISING PRINCIPLE OF THE MIND “ .</span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">At its core, the initiative is driven by the belief that mental well-being should be reachable and affordable for all. By combining certification, practical tools and sustained learning frameworks, NLP Gurukul(™) positions itself as a step towards bridging India’s growing mental well-being gap while empowering individuals to create meaningful, lasting change.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Marking ten years of
dedication as CAPAAR steps confidently into its next decade of impactJanuary 31, 2026, Bengaluru: CAPAAR Child Care Centre celebrated its 10th
anniversary with a landmark event titled “A Decade of Dedication”,
commemorating ten years of service in child development, rehabilitation, and
holistic healthcare. The occasion also served as a professional knowledge
platform, bringing together eminent physiotherapists, clinicians, and child
development specialists from across the country.

 

Established in 2016, CAPAAR was
founded with a vision to deliver ethical, evidence-based, and multidisciplinary
care for children facing developmental, neurological, and rehabilitation
challenges. Over the last decade, CAPAAR has expanded to two full-fledged
centres, supported by a team of over 100 trained professionals, and has
positively impacted the lives of more than 1,000 children.

 

The anniversary celebrations
featured expert panel discussions and academic deliberations by senior
physiotherapists and allied health professionals. Key sessions focused on
speech and language therapy, autism spectrum disorders, oro-motor rehabilitation,
pediatric physiotherapy, and psychological well-being, emphasising the
importance of early diagnosis and integrated therapeutic care.

 

The CAPAAR anniversary event was
conducted successfully, marking an important milestone in its journey of
service and impact. The program witnessed active participation and reflected
the organisation’s continued commitment to healthcare and community
development. 

The event was graced by several
distinguished chief guests, including Dr. Ruchi Varshney (PT)—President
of the Women Cell of the Indian Association of Physiotherapists (IAPWC),
Treasurer of IAP, Director of Advanced Ruchi Physiotherapy &amp; Wellness
Centre, and Chairperson of the AWP Conference, a nationally recognised academic
forum promoting women leadership and excellence in physiotherapy. Her presence
highlighted the growing emphasis on structured academic platforms such as AWP
that encourage research, innovation, and professional collaboration in
physiotherapy. 

 

A special mention to the Green
Sponsor, Grace Medicals, New Zealand, for their generous initiative in
sponsoring a child’s education, reflecting a strong commitment to social
responsibility.

 

The Honorable High Court of
Kerala delivered a historic verdict granting physiotherapists the right to use
the “Doctor” prefix and practice independently, a decision welcomed by the
Indian Association of Physiotherapists (IAP).

 

Other eminent guests included Dr.
Prathibha Karanth, Founder &amp; Managing Trustee of ComDEALL Trust; and Dr. A.
Suresh Babu Reddy (PT), National Vice President of IAP.

 

Speakers underscored CAPAAR’s
multidisciplinary treatment model, where physiotherapists, speech therapists,
psychologists, and special educators work together to address not only clinical
symptoms but the overall cognitive, emotional, and mental well-being of
children. Several case examples illustrated how children have evolved from
early speech and motor challenges to becoming mentally fit, socially confident,
and functionally independent.

 

Founded and led by Dr. P. Sumitha
Hemavathy (PT), CAPAAR continues to extend its impact through initiatives such
as CAPAAR Special School and ATHMA Social Welfare Trust, reaffirming its
commitment to inclusive child care and community service as it steps into its
second decade.

 

About Capaar: 

 

At CAPAAR Special School, we
believe in unlocking the potential of every child, fostering a nurturing
environment that celebrates diversity and embraces individuality. Our
commitment is to provide exceptional education and support for children with

<title>What 3&amp;Year LLB Entrances Really Demand, According to LegalEdge by Toprankers</title>

<description><![CDATA[   

The 3-year LLB route
is increasingly attracting graduates and working professionals who want a
second, stronger career track. Yet the biggest mistake aspirants make is treating
these entrances as “easy GK papers” or as tests that only reward memorisation. 

 

In reality,
most 3-year LLB entrances are built to measure law-readiness, meaning your
ability to read, reason, and apply rules to real-life situations at speed. 

 

LegalEdge, which works
closely with graduate and working-professional aspirants across multiple 3-year
LLB pathways, says the paper is less about what you know and more about how you
think under time pressure. “If you can read accurately, structure your reasoning,
and stay calm while attempting questions, you are already ahead,”
Harsh Gagrani, Co-founder, Toprankers, quotes. 

 

What do 3-year LLB
exams actually test? 

 

This is the most
common query from first-time aspirants, and the answer is surprisingly consistent
across exams. 

 

1) Legal aptitude
and legal reasoning, through application 

 

Most 3-year LLB tests
include principle-based questions. You are given a legal principle, then a
short fact scenario, then you pick the best application. This checks issue spotting,
clarity of logic, and discipline in applying a rule. For example, MH CET Law
includes a dedicated “Legal Aptitude and Legal Reasoning” section in its 3-year
paper structure. 

 

2) Logical and
analytical reasoning, to test structured thinking 

 

This is where many
working professionals do well because it rewards pattern recognition and
decision-making, not rote theory. In MH CET Law, “Logical and Analytical
Reasoning” is explicitly a separate section, indicating that argument
evaluation and structured reasoning are central to scoring. 

 

3) Language skills,
especially comprehension and accuracy 

 

These exams
are reading-intensive. In MH CET Law’s 3-year pattern, English carries
substantial weightage, signalling that comprehension, vocabulary, and usage
directly impact rank.  

 

For aspirants
returning to studies after a gap through an online/offline law entrance preparation, this becomes a decisive
differentiator. 

 

4) General
Knowledge and current affairs, with legal awareness flavour 

 

GK in 3-year LLB
entrances is not only static facts. It often blends current affairs with
awareness of institutions, governance, and social issues. MH CET Law lists GK
with Current Affairs as a core section. 

 

PU LLB’s exam pattern
also includes current affairs and GK as a key area, alongside legal aptitude
and reasoning.  

 

5) Aptitude add-ons
in CUET-based LLB admissions 

 

For CUET LLB, the
syllabus overview commonly includes language comprehension, general awareness,
computer basics, and general aptitude with logical reasoning.  

 

This indicates that
some 3-year LLB routes also test fundamental test-taking aptitude beyond purely
“law-themed” sections. 

 

The hidden demand:
speed, stamina, and attempt strategy 

 

LegalEdge emphasises
that the format itself is part of the test. The exam is not only about knowing
topics but about managing time and maintaining accuracy over the full paper. 

 

Consider MH CET Law.
The pattern is computer-based, with 120 questions in 2 hours, and the
referenced pattern states there is no negative marking.  

 

That changes
behaviour. It rewards candidates who can maintain pace and attempt more
questions without fear of penalty. 

 

Now compare PU LLB,
the exam pattern described on TopRankers states 100 questions in 90 minutes with negative marking of 0.25
for an incorrect answer.  

 

This makes intelligent
selection vital. Over-attempting without control can reduce your score. 

For CUET LLB, widely circulated
syllabus and pattern overviews indicate 75 questions as part of the paper
structure.  

 

Even when the question
count is lower, the breadth of sections demands balanced preparation. 

 

What this means for
graduates and working professionals 

 

For working
professionals, preparation constraints are usually predictable: limited daily
time, irregular schedules, and mental fatigue after work. The good news is that
the exam’s core skills can be trained in short, repeatable blocks. 

 

LegalEdge recommends
building preparation around three anchors. 

 

Anchor 1: Reading
practice that mimics exam conditions 

 

Do short, timed
comprehension sets. Focus on accuracy first, then speed. Since English is
heavily represented in MH CET Law and also relevant for other entrances,

<media:keywords>What, 3-Year, LLB, Entrances, Really, Demand, According, LegalEdge, Toprankers</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  <span lang="EN-GB">The 3-year LLB route is increasingly attracting graduates and working professionals who want a second, stronger career track. Yet the biggest mistake aspirants make is treating these entrances as “easy GK papers” or as tests that only reward memorisation.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">In reality, most 3-year LLB entrances are built to measure law-readiness, meaning your ability to read, reason, and apply rules to real-life situations at speed.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">LegalEdge, which works closely with graduate and working-professional aspirants across multiple 3-year LLB pathways, says the paper is less about what you know and more about how you think under time pressure. “If you can read accurately, structure your reasoning, and stay calm while attempting questions, you are already ahead,” Harsh Gagrani, Co-founder, Toprankers, quotes.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">What do 3-year LLB exams actually test?</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">This is the most common query from first-time aspirants, and the answer is surprisingly consistent across exams.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">1) Legal aptitude and legal reasoning, through application</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Most 3-year LLB tests include principle-based questions. You are given a legal principle, then a short fact scenario, then you pick the best application. This checks issue spotting, clarity of logic, and discipline in applying a rule. For example, MH CET Law includes a dedicated “Legal Aptitude and Legal Reasoning” section in its 3-year paper structure.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">2) Logical and analytical reasoning, to test structured thinking</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">This is where many working professionals do well because it rewards pattern recognition and decision-making, not rote theory. In MH CET Law, “Logical and Analytical Reasoning” is explicitly a separate section, indicating that argument evaluation and structured reasoning are central to scoring.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">3) Language skills, especially comprehension and accuracy</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">These exams are reading-intensive. In MH CET Law’s 3-year pattern, English carries substantial weightage, signalling that comprehension, vocabulary, and usage directly impact rank. </span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">For aspirants returning to studies after a gap through an </span><span lang="EN-IN"><a href="https://www.toprankers.com/olet-online-coaching"><span lang="EN-GB">online/offline law entrance preparation</span></a></span><span lang="EN-GB">, this becomes a decisive differentiator.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">4) General Knowledge and current affairs, with legal awareness flavour</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">GK in 3-year LLB entrances is not only static facts. It often blends current affairs with awareness of institutions, governance, and social issues. MH CET Law lists GK with Current Affairs as a core section.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">PU LLB’s exam pattern also includes current affairs and GK as a key area, alongside legal aptitude and reasoning. </span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">5) Aptitude add-ons in CUET-based LLB admissions</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">For CUET LLB, the syllabus overview commonly includes language comprehension, general awareness, computer basics, and general aptitude with logical reasoning. </span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">This indicates that some 3-year LLB routes also test fundamental test-taking aptitude beyond purely “law-themed” sections.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">The hidden demand: speed, stamina, and attempt strategy</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">LegalEdge emphasises that the format itself is part of the test. The exam is not only about knowing topics but about managing time and maintaining accuracy over the full paper.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Consider MH CET Law. The pattern is computer-based, with 120 questions in 2 hours, and the referenced pattern states there is no negative marking. </span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">That changes behaviour. It rewards candidates who can maintain pace and attempt more questions without fear of penalty.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Now compare PU LLB, the exam pattern described on </span><span><a href="https://www.toprankers.com/"><span lang="EN-GB">TopRankers</span></a></span><span lang="EN-GB"> states 100 questions in 90 minutes with negative marking of 0.25 for an incorrect answer. </span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">This makes intelligent selection vital. Over-attempting without control can reduce your score.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">For CUET LLB, widely circulated syllabus and pattern overviews indicate 75 questions as part of the paper structure. </span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Even when the question count is lower, the breadth of sections demands balanced preparation.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">What this means for graduates and working professionals</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">For working professionals, preparation constraints are usually predictable: limited daily time, irregular schedules, and mental fatigue after work. The good news is that the exam’s core skills can be trained in short, repeatable blocks.</span><span> </span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">LegalEdge recommends building preparation around three anchors.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Anchor 1: Reading practice that mimics exam conditions</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Do short, timed comprehension sets. Focus on accuracy first, then speed. Since English is heavily represented in MH CET Law and also relevant for other entrances, it becomes a consistent ROI activity. </span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Anchor 2: Principle-fact practice for legal reasoning</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Do daily application-based questions. The goal is to stop guessing and start following a repeatable method: read the principle, underline conditions, map facts, eliminate options. This directly aligns with legal reasoning formats used in major tests like MH CET Law.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Anchor 3: Weekly current affairs consolidation</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Instead of chasing daily news endlessly, compile weekly notes. Focus on national developments, major international updates, governance, courts, rights-related issues, and landmark institutional changes. This matches how GK with current affairs is positioned as a scoring area. </span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-GB">The LegalEdge view: what “law-ready” performance looks like</span></b><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">LegalEdge describes a high-scoring candidate as someone who can separate inference from opinion. This shows up most clearly in legal reasoning, where the best option is the one that fits the given rule and stated facts, not the option that sounds morally satisfying.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The same discipline applies to negative-marking exams. In PU LLB’s pattern, the presence of negative marking pushes aspirants to develop risk control and smarter elimination. </span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">This is why mock-based analysis becomes essential, especially for working professionals who cannot afford unstructured trial-and-error.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">3-year LLB entrances are not designed to reward legal jargon or prior law study. They are designed to reward reading discipline, structured reasoning, awareness of the world, and smart time management. Once aspirants understand this, preparation becomes simpler and more predictable.</span><span> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">LegalEdge reiterates that the fastest improvements often come from fixing process mistakes: reading too fast, ignoring the principle conditions, guessing in negative marking, and skipping revision cycles for GK. With a structured plan, graduates and working professionals can convert limited time into consistent score gains.</span><span> </span></p>

<title>Meowsi by HUFT Takes the Lead on Redefining Cat Nutrition in India</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/meowsi-by-huft-takes-the-lead-on-redefining-cat-nutrition-in-india</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/meowsi-by-huft-takes-the-lead-on-redefining-cat-nutrition-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For a long time, cats have
been fed food that is readily available, affordable, familiar - but not
necessarily food that reflects what they truly need. As cat parenting evolves
and awareness around feline health deepens, this gap between convenience and correct
nutrition has become increasingly clear. Meowsi by Heads Up For Tails (HUFT)
enters the category with the intent to challenge long-standing norms and raise
the standard of cat nutrition in India.

 

At its core, Meowsi is built on a simple
but often overlooked truth: cats are obligate carnivores and instinct-led
animals. This is not a preference, it is a biological fact that is deeply tied
to their anatomy. Yet, modern feeding habits for pet cats often overlook
it. 

 

Re-thinking “healthy” cat food

 

What cats eat cannot be separated
from how they are built, how their ancestors and close cousins hunt, how they
digest food and how they derive nutrition from it. Any attempt to define
good cat food must begin there.

 

“We asked ourselves a
fundamental question before even thinking of creating our own cat food: What
does a cat’s body actually need to function at its best? The answer shapes every
recipe. Every formulation in the Meowsi range is meat-first, with all essential
vitamins, minerals, and taurine added in just the right amount. It is carefully
balanced to serve as complete meals for cats. Not just to satisfy hunger, but
to support long-term health, vitality, and wellbeing.” - Samarth Narang, CEO,
HUFT 

 

The growth and opportunity
nobody can ignore

 

The global pet food industry is
undergoing a transformation, and cats are at the forefront of it. Valued at
over $37 billion in 2024, the market is expected to grow to nearly USD 50
billion by 2033 (Source: IMARC Group – Global Cat Food Market
Statistics 2025–2023), reflecting steady and sustained demand. 

 

Even India’s relationship with
cats is changing. An estimated 2.44 million households now have cats as family
pets (Source: Dogster, 14 India Pet Ownership Statistics to Know in
2026). The Indian cat food market, valued at approximately $115 million in
2024 is projected to grow by 13% by 2030. 

 

“This growth is not just about
numbers. It reflects a deeper shift in the cat parent mindset - from feeding
out of habit to feeding with understanding, from generic choices to nutrition
that acknowledges cats as complex, biologically unique creatures. Consumers are
actively asking for health-focused formulations to become the norm, not a
luxury. Meowsi enters this moment not as a reaction to demand, but as a
response to responsibility. It’s about doing the right thing consistently, even
when it’s harder.” - Samarth Narang, CEO, HUFT

 

Trust built over time

 

Trust, especially in nutrition,
is built slowly. HUFT brings over 18 years of research-led pet care experience,
an in-house team of nutrition experts, and a foundation rooted in transparency,
quality, and long-term outcomes instead of quick wins—which naturally resonated
with Indian cat parents. 

 

“Switching to Meowsi changed
how my cat eats and feels,” says Pallavi, a long-time HUFT customer. “Her coat improved, her
digestion stabilised, and most importantly, she actually looks forward to
mealtimes. It finally feels like I’m feeding her what she’s meant to eat.”

 

Mia, another cat parent
adds, “Finding the best food for cats felt overwhelming until Meowsi.
The clarity, the quality, the intent - it all feels considered, not
commercial.”

 

A range built for real life

 

Meowsi offers a thoughtfully
developed range of complete meals for cats, including wet food for different
life stages, texture and meat preferences, lifestyles and nutritional needs.
From chicken, tuna and salmon to shrimp, duck and quail egg, variety worth food
rotation for cats is not a dream anymore. With options starting at ₹99, Meowsi
makes instinct-first feline nutrition accessible without compromising on
quality. 

 

Leading with understanding

 

Meowsi is not trying to redefine
cats. Cats already know who they are. It is redefining how cat parents nourish
them with respect for their anatomy, trust in science, and the humility to let
instinct lead the way.

<description><![CDATA[  

January 30, 2026 : With India’s power sector entering an exciting
phase of growth and renewable energy taking centre stage ahead of the Union
Budget 2026, BC Jindal Group Promoter Shyam Sunder Jindal said on Friday that India’s clean energy
transition will be driven by the seamless deployment of large-scale battery
storage solutions and infrastructure.

 

Sharing his thoughts on the
upcoming Budget 2026, Mr.
Shyam Sunder Jindal said, “FY26 marks a defining period for India’s
power sector, with significant capacity additions driven predominantly by
renewable energy. As clean power generation gathers significant pace,
installing energy storage solutions will become crucial in shaping the sector’s
next phase of growth. In the upcoming Budget 2026, favourable regulations and
policies that enable the seamless deployment of large-scale battery storage
infrastructure and solutions alongside renewable projects are expected to guide
the industry’s expansion.”

 

Emphasising that access to
financing remains a vital requirement for renewable energy projects, Jindal added,
“We are observing the commissioning of large-scale initiatives that focus on
deploying solar rooftop infrastructure, and, therefore, interventions that
support project financing and address supply-chain bottlenecks will aid growth
at scale. Further, strengthening the policy framework to enhance skilled
employment generation will have a positive impact on the industry’s competitive
advantage in the long-term, contributing meaningfully to India’s transition to
clean energy.” 

 

In 2025, India witnessed its
highest-ever renewable energy expansion, as the country’s  non-fossil
power installed capacity reached 263 GW. The industry is now well on track to
achieve the national target of installing 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity
by 2030. As power demand rises significantly, India’s clean energy transition
will be led by a shift toward round-the-clock solutions, storage-backed
capacity and hybrid renewable projects. 

 

Founded in 1952, the  BC Jindal Group, led by Shyam Sunder Jindal, has steadily expanded its presence
across sectors such as packaging films, energy, and steel products.

<description><![CDATA[ In a move set to
redefine the real estate landscape in North Bengaluru, Vinra Group,
appearing as the Strategic Partner, has officially signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with Mahakara, appearing as the Investment Partner.
This partnership marks a significant consolidation of execution expertise and
capital, aimed at unlocking the massive potential of joint land assets.

The announcement was
made by Mr. Vinod Ranjan, Managing Director of Vinra Group, who
highlighted the synergy between the two entities. Central to this collaboration
is a clear roadmap to raise funds to the tune of ₹100 Crore immediately,
providing the necessary liquidity to accelerate development and scale the
groups&#039; joint progress.

A New Era of Investment
and Strategy

The partnership brings
together two industry leaders with distinct, complementary roles. Ajay
Agarwal, Managing Partner of Mahakara, will oversee the investment
framework, ensuring robust financial backing and fiscal discipline for the
venture’s ambitious growth plans. As the Strategic Partner, Vinra Group will
spearhead the project&#039;s direction, market positioning, and delivery.

&quot;The JV partners
possess a huge potential for growth, rooted in the significant scope of
liquidity within our joint land assets,&quot; stated Mr. Vinod Ranjan. &quot;By
progressing to raise ₹100 Crore immediately, we are ensuring that our strategic
vision is backed by the financial muscle required to meet the evolving demands
of the Bengaluru market.&quot;

Focus on &#039;SkyView
Devanahalli&#039;

The primary focus of
this new alliance is the flagship project, SkyView Devanahalli. Situated
in the high-growth corridor near the International Airport, this project is
designed to offer premium living spaces in one of the city&#039;s most sought-after
investment zones.

In a move to provide
absolute clarity and confidence to clients, the partners have committed to a
firm delivery schedule. Mr. Ranjan announced that SkyView Devanahalli would
be finished and handed over to clients by December 2026.

&quot;We understand
that for our clients, the handover date is a pivotal milestone,&quot; Mr.
Ranjan added. &quot;With the investment support from Mahakara and our strategic
oversight, we are fully committed to completing SkyView Devanahalli by December
2026, setting a benchmark for reliability in the region.&quot;



Strategic
Growth and Market Impact

This collaboration is
expected to create a significant ripple effect in the North Bengaluru real
estate sector. By focusing on asset liquidity and high-velocity funding, the
Vinra-Mahakara partnership is positioned to navigate market complexities while
delivering high-value residential solutions.

The immediate ₹100
Crore fundraise is just the beginning of a long-term strategy to expand the
joint portfolio across key growth hubs in Karnataka. As the city continues to
expand toward the North, SkyView Devanahalli stands as a testament to the
partners&#039; shared vision of quality and timely execution.

<description><![CDATA[ Bhopal, 30 January 2026 : VIT
Bhopal University, in
partnership with the Johns Hopkins University (JHU), USA, has announced Health
Hack 2026: Improving Health Access for All, an international hackathon
scheduled from February 10-12, 2026. The initiative aims to accelerate
practical, technology-led solutions for healthcare access, particularly for
rural and underserved communities.

 

The announcement follows the
strong impact of Health Hack 2025, held in February last year, which brought
together researchers, clinicians, technologists, and students to address real-
world healthcare challenges through data-driven and AI-enabled innovation.
Under the leadership of VIT Bhopal’s senior management, including Hon’ble
Chancellor Dr. G. Viswanathan, Vice President Mr. Sankar Viswanathan, Assistant
Vice President Ms. Kadhambari S. Viswanathan, and Trustee Ms. Ramani
Balasundaram, the event featured keynote addresses, technical sessions,
workshops, and competitive problem-solving tracks that resulted in several
promising healthcare prototypes. The outcomes reinforced VIT Bhopal’s growing
reputation as a hub for applied healthcare research and industry-academia
collaboration. The 2026 edition builds on this impact made possible through
collaborative research-led efforts.

 

From getting participation from
premier institutions including IITs, NITs, IIITs, government medical colleges,
and international universities in the previous edition, Health Hack 2026 is
expected to expand its footprint further by welcoming data scientists,
engineers, healthcare professionals, innovators, and students from India and
abroad. Participants will work in interdisciplinary teams of up to six members,
addressing focus areas such as telemedicine for equitable access, predictive
analytics for preventive care, AI-driven chronic disease management, mental
health accessibility, and related health-tech challenges.

Designed to go beyond a
conventional hackathon, Health Hack 2026 will emphasise scalable, real-world
prototypes. Participants will gain access to robust datasets, APIs, and
mentorship from industry and research partners, including Intelehealth and the
Gupta-Klinsky India Institute. Hosted across state-of-the-art facilities on VIT
Bhopal’s 300+acre campus, the event will encourage solutions spanning early
disease detection, personalised medicine, secure health data systems, and
ethical AI frameworks, with a clear focus on communities that face systemic
barriers to healthcare.

 

Participants will benefit from
hands-on exposure to interdisciplinary collaboration, sharpen skills in AI,
data analytics, and healthcare engineering, and network with global experts
from VIT Bhopal and JHU’s Whiting School of Engineering, home to the world’s
top-ranked biomedical engineering programme. Winning teams will receive cash
prizes of ₹1,00,000 for first place, ₹50,000 for second place, and ₹25,000
for third place, along with mentorship support to further develop their
ideas. More importantly, the hackathon offers a platform to contribute to
solutions with tangible social impact.
 

Registration and Key Dates

Final Phase: February 10–12,
2026, at VIT Bhopal

<description><![CDATA[ Gujarati cinema is set to welcome
a film that doesn’t merely unfold on screen, but quietly settles into the
hearts of its audience. “Malumadi”, presented by Sidhhant Motion Pictures and
produced by Vikram Patolia and Kiran Khokhani, is scheduled to release in
theatres on 30th January 2026.

 

This is not the story of a
fictional heroine.
This is the story of every Gujarati household’s mother.

 

Lovingly referred to as
“Gujarat’s Mother India”, Malumadi reflects the selfless love, quiet
resilience, and unseen sacrifices of Gujarati mothers, a form of motherhood
that stays in the background, so the family can move forward together.

 

Directed with sensitivity by Milan
Joshi, the film explores love, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond of family in
a way that feels deeply familiar and timeless. Malumadi is a clean,
family-friendly film, grounded in emotion, cultural values, and lived truth.

 

Where
emotion meets tradition

Malumadi tells a story that
exists, in one way or another, in every Gujarati home,
where a mother stands firm as the emotional backbone of the family.

 

A line from the film captures its
spirit with quiet strength:
“I refuse to carry the burden of sins created by divisions of caste and
identity.”

 

These words are more than dialogue.
They echo a mother’s moral courage, choosing humanity over prejudice,
compassion over division.

 

While gently addressing
contemporary social realities, the film reminds us that the true strength of a
family lies in love, not in lines that separate us.

 

Music
that stays with you

The film’s music is composed by
Harman Mer, with lyrics written by Kiran Khokhani. The title track, in
particular, expresses maternal love and silent sacrifice with such simplicity
that the feeling lingers long after the song ends, often saying what words
cannot.

 

Performances
that feel real

In the lead role, Bharti Thakkar
delivers a performance that is not just watched but deeply felt. It stands
among her most sensitive and emotionally powerful portrayals to date.

 

She is supported by a strong
ensemble cast, including Aakash Pandya, Priyam Talavia, Gurubhai Jethwa, Diya
Bhatt, Vijay Jhala, and Ashitosh Solanki, along with veteran actors Ashok Patel
and Niharika Dave, who bring depth and authenticity to the narrative.

 

Cinematographer Jayesh Kaushik
lends the film visual warmth and realism. The project is managed by Parth
Navadia, with Bharat Donda serving as Production Head.

 

Producer Vikram Patolia shares:

“Malumadi is
not just a film, it’s the story of every home.
A mother quietly holds everything together, without ever asking to be noticed.
This film is our humble effort to reflect the emotions of all such mothers.”

 

With digital promotions led by
Nexa Infotech, Malumadi has already begun forming a strong emotional connection
on social media. The trailer has received encouraging responses on YouTube and
Instagram, with #malumadifilm steadily gaining traction among audiences.

 Nationwide campaign encourages regular
     BharatPe UPI usage through assured rewards
 High-energy brand film captures World Cup
     excitement and everyday payment moments
 Participants stand a chance to win match
     tickets, signed merchandise and an exclusive opportunity to watch a T20

BharatPe today announced the
launch of ‘Super Over’, a new nationwide campaign featuring Indian
cricketer Rohit Sharma, timed ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. The
campaign draws a parallel between the intensity of cricket and the role of
fast, reliable digital payments in everyday life.

 

As part of the initiative,
BharatPe has released a high-impact brand film that
reflects India’s deep emotional connection with cricket while spotlighting how
UPI has become an integral part of daily transactions. The film brings together
moments of match-day pressure and everyday payment needs, underscoring BharatPe
UPI’s focus on safety, reliability and consistent rewards.

 

‘Super Over’ is a month-long
engagement programme designed to drive regular usage of BharatPe UPI among
consumers and merchants. Users transacting via BharatPe UPI can earn daily
rewards, including match tickets, signed merchandise and a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to watch a T20 World Cup match alongside Rohit Sharma. In addition,
both consumers and merchants will receive assured Zillion Coins on every
eligible transaction.

BharatPe UPI is supported
by BharatPe Shield, a comprehensive fraud protection layer that
enhances payment safety through robust coverage and dedicated support, helping
users transact with greater confidence in an increasingly digital ecosystem.

 

Commenting on the campaign, Shilpi
Kapoor, Head of Marketing, BharatPe, said,
“Super Over reflects the aspirations of every Indian. They want speed,
trust, consistency, the ability to perform under pressure, along with safety
and assurance, both on and off the field. Just as fans expect Team India to
perform in every match, they seek the same confidence in their UPI payments.
With fast transactions supported by the safety net of BharatPe Shield and
instant rewards, we are making everyday payments feel secure, reliable and
rewarding.”

 

The ‘Super Over’ campaign will be

<description><![CDATA[   

New Delhi, January 2026 : Building upon a mutual commitment to
championing the finest curation of international and Indian art and
design, The Chanakya and Imagine Art and Design Fair presented The
Chanakya Imagine Atelier 2026 as a private, two-day art and design
experience. Hosted within one of the capital’s most distinguished luxury
destinations, The Chanakya Imagine Atelier took place on 21st and 22nd
January 2026, offering an intimate yet impactful showcase that seamlessly
brought together fine art, global design and luxury lifestyle in an atmosphere
defined by elegance, exclusivity and cultural refinement. Adding to the
festivities, presenting partner Heritance Aarah, Maldives, offered guests the opportunity to participate
in a curated raffle, through which one lucky guest will be invited for a 2-night,
3-day stay to experience Heritance Aarah and its generous luxury
all-inclusive offering.

 

Founded by Aditi
Kapoor and Ruchi Sibal, the Imagine Art and Design Fair was
established to redefine how audiences engaged with creativity by creating
inclusive yet carefully curated environments that encouraged dialogue,
discovery and meaningful engagement. Partnering with The Chanakya, home
to 30+ international luxury brands including global icons in home and
design, The Chanakya Imagine Atelier 2026 explored a more intimate yet elevated
format of this vision, designed specifically for collectors, patrons and
design-forward audiences.

 

The Chanakya Imagine Atelier saw
the ground floor, including Delhi hotspot Café C, transformed for two days into
a gallery-style environment that allowed art and design to be experienced in a
calm, immersive and conversational atmosphere. The setting reflected a shared
focus on nuance, craftsmanship and thoughtful presentation.

This inaugural edition brought
together a curated selection of contemporary art galleries including Art
Magnum, Easel Stories, The Lexicon Art, Vision Art, Studio Paradise
Contemporary, and Art &amp; You. Their presentations were thoughtfully
paired with the world’s leading luxury design and home brands such as Baccarat,
Jay Strongwater, L’Objet, Lladro, Villeroy &amp; Boch, Merci, Shivan &amp;
Narresh Homes, Janavi Home and Ravissant. Together, these pairings
created cohesive displays that explored different forms of artistic expression
and the intersection of fine art, design, craftsmanship and contemporary
living.

 

Across both days, The Chanakya
Imagine Atelier featured curated daytime engagements and workshops led by
India’s leading experts in interior design and architecture for luxury home and
design brands such as Baccarat, Jay Strongwater, L’Objet, Lladro and more,
reinforcing active participation and dialogue as central to experiencing art
and design. By night, the space featured high-octane entertainment alongside
avant-garde gourmet delights and drinks, further elevating the experience.

 

The experience was supported by a
distinguished lineup of partners, with Heritance Aarah, Maldives as the Presenting Partner, Evian
as the Hydration Partner, The Balvenie Single Malt
as Celebration Partner, Sepoy &amp; Co as the Refreshment
Partner, and Bili Hu as the Coffee Partner, adding
layers of global luxury and thoughtful indulgence to the Atelier.

 

Speaking about the vision behind
the Atelier, Ms. Pushpa Bector, Senior Executive Director &amp;
Business Head - DLF Retail added, “Luxury today is about
meaningful, culturally resonant experiences. At The Chanakya, we create
environments where luxury is experienced through thoughtful curation,
storytelling and innovation, highlighting the best in global luxury.”

 

Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Saurabh
Bharara, Vice President &amp; Head DLF Luxury Malls, shared, “The
Chanakya Imagine Atelier was a natural extension of our commitment to creating
experience-led luxury spaces. Through an intimate, gallery-style format, we
were able to present the best of global luxury design brands and art in a way
that feels personal, immersive and aligned with the evolving expectations of
today’s luxury audiences.”

 

Speaking about the Atelier,
founders Aditi Kapoor and Ruchi Sibal shared,
“Imagine has always been about creating platforms that feel thoughtful,
immersive and inclusive. With The Chanakya Imagine Atelier, we wanted to
explore a more intimate format–one that allows art, design and conversation to
come together in a refined, personal setting.”

 

With The Chanakya Imagine
Atelier, The Chanakya and Imagine Art and Design Fair
continued to evolve a shared commitment to presenting the finest curation of
global art and design, through curated collaborations, considered environments
and meaningful cultural exchange. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

Born in Odisha. Built Across
India. Now to the World.

Bhubaneswar, India : ODM Educational Group, one of India&#039;s most respected and fastest-growing
K–12 school networks, has announced a landmark achievement. The establishment
of its first international campus in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, through the
acquisition of Sabari Indian School, Dubai. Sabari is a KHDA-
&quot;Good&quot;-rated CBSE school in the Deira locality.

This milestone positions ODM
Educational Group among the few Indian K–12 institutions to have successfully
expanded internationally, marking the beginning of ODM&#039;s global journey, taking
Indian educational excellence to an international platform. It reinforces the
Group&#039;s vision to build a world-class network of schools rooted in Indian
values and powered by innovation.

The advisory excellence behind the
transaction was executed with support from distinguished partners. ODM Educational
Group and its education arm, Newron, were advised by Pinac Law and Al Tamimi
&amp; Company as legal counsels, while Mridyaa Ventures provided strategic
financial advisory services.

A
Defining Step for Indian Education

From
its humble beginnings in Odisha, ODM Educational Group
has evolved into a multi-state education leader with campuses across Odisha,
Jharkhand, West Bengal, Delhi NCR, and now the UAE, serving over 11,500
students with a dedicated team of 2,000 educators and professionals across
seven campuses.

Over the last two decades, ODM has
earned a reputation for academic excellence, strong value systems, and
progressive education models that integrate sports, creativity, and innovation
into mainstream learning. The Group&#039;s entry into the UAE marks its transition
from a nationally admired institution to a globally recognised education brand.

Leadership
Vision

Commenting on the milestone, Swoyan
Satyendu, CEO of ODM Educational Group, said: &quot;ODM was born in
Odisha with a vision to redefine K–12 education through excellence, empathy,
and innovation. Over the years, our journey has expanded across states,
impacting thousands of young lives. This step into Dubai is a natural
progression, a reflection of our commitment to take Indian education and values
to a global stage.&quot;

The chairman, Dr. Satyabrata
Minaketan, added: &quot;Our goal is not just geographical expansion, but
the creation of learning ecosystems that nurture global citizens while staying
deeply connected to Indian ethos.”

Newron- The Education Arm of ODM

The global expansion has been
powered through Newron, the education arm of ODM Educational Group,
which ensures that the Technology, Academic &amp; Operational excellence of all
ODM schools in India and abroad remain consistent and world-class.

ODM&#039;s Dubai campus will follow the
Group&#039;s established model of holistic education, offering a blend of academic
excellence, international exposure, and character development. It will also
open avenues for cross-cultural learning, student exchanges, and faculty
collaborations between Indian and UAE campuses, enriching the educational
experience for students across both geographies.

Through Newron, ODM continues to
extend its academic philosophy, leadership framework, and institutional
expertise to new regions, including the UAE, with the same commitment to
integrity and impact.

ODM&#039;s
Growing Educational Footprint

With a strong presence in multiple
Indian cities, including Bhubaneswar, Ranchi, Durgapur, and Gurgaon, ODM
Educational Group stands among the few Indian K–12 institutions to successfully
expand internationally.

The Group’s global campus in Dubai
will follow ODM’s established model of holistic education, offering a blend of
academic excellence, international exposure, and character development. It will
also open avenues for cross-cultural learning, student exchanges, and faculty
collaborations between Indian and UAE campuses.

The
Road Ahead

ODM&#039;s UAE chapter is just the
beginning of a broader international vision. The Group aims to develop a global
network of Indian-origin schools that represent India&#039;s educational strengths,
discipline, innovation, and values, while adapting to the aspirations of global
learners.

As ODM continues to grow, its focus
remains steadfast: to provide every child with an education that prepares them
not just for exams, but for life.

<description><![CDATA[ In today&#039;s fast-paced world, the
demands on our bodies and minds seem never-ending. Long hours at work, constant
digital connection, and the stress of personal commitments often leave us
feeling exhausted. Even when we try to eat well and stay active, lifestyle
stress, irregular diets, and lower nutrient absorption lead to gaps in our
daily nutrition. These gaps, though invisible, can slowly decrease our energy,
immunity, and overall health. This is where multivitamins are essential—not as
a luxury, but as a necessity for healthy living.

 

By providing essential
micronutrients, they help with energy production, immunity, brain health, and
cell repair, ensuring that the body works at its best throughout the day.
Research shows that multivitamins can lower the incidence of infections by over
40%, demonstrating their benefits for immunity. 

 

Dr. Morepen’s range of
multivitamins for men and women is specifically designed for the modern
individual. These supplements go beyond the basics, offering tailored
nutritional support for different gender needs.

 

For Men: Strength, Stamina,
and Stress Resilience

 

The Dr. Morepen
Multivitamin for Men is a scientifically formulated blend of 23 essential
vitamins and minerals that meets the modern man’s nutritional requirements. It
supports sustained energy release and physical performance throughout the
day—critical for those who juggle demanding work schedules with fitness or
family responsibilities.

 


 Energy &amp; Performance: B-complex vitamins and minerals like
     Magnesium and Iron fuel energy metabolism, helping men stay sharp and
     active.
 Heart &amp; Brain Health: Omega-3 fatty acids protect and nurture
     cardiovascular and cognitive abilities.
 Stress &amp; Vitality: Herbal extracts such as Ashwagandha,
     Ginseng, and Amla boost endurance and provide resilience against stress.
 Bone &amp; Muscle Support: Calcium, Zinc, and Selenium strengthen
     bones and support muscle function, ensuring physical endurance.


 

This advanced formula empowers men
to face daily challenges with vigour, whether it’s powering through meetings,
workouts, or simply keeping up with the pace of modern life.

For Women: Energy, Wellness,
and Radiance

 

The Dr. Morepen
Multivitamin for Women is crafted to meet the unique nutritional needs of
today’s woman, combining 21 essential vitamins and minerals with a targeted
antioxidant blend. It not only supports energy and immunity but also addresses
wellness aspects that modern women value—skin, hair, and nail health.

 


 Daily Nutrition: Vitamins A, C, D, E, Biotin, and Folic
     Acid, along with minerals like Calcium, Magnesium, and Iron, ensure
     balanced nourishment.
 Antioxidant Protection: Green Tea Extract, L-Glutathione,
     Astaxanthin, and Soy Isoflavones combat oxidative stress, promoting
     metabolic health and vitality.
 Bone &amp; Metabolic Support: Calcium and Magnesium enhance bone
     strength, while Iodine and Zinc aid metabolic balance.
 Beauty from Within: The antioxidant-rich formula enhances
     skin radiance and strengthens hair and nails, reflecting inner wellness
     outwardly.


 

For women navigating the
pressures of multitasking careers, family responsibilities, and personal
aspirations, this supplement enables steady energy levels while nurturing
long-term wellness.

 

The Modern Individual’s Ally

 

Multivitamins can be integrated
seamlessly into everyday life through nutritional supplements. They are not
quick fixes but consistent allies—helping modern individuals build resilience
against stress, sustain energy, and maintain wellness over time.

 

In a world where vitality is
often compromised by lifestyle pressures, these supplements provide the
assurance that your body is receiving the essential support it needs. With
regular use, they add vigour and vitality to help you cope with the pressures
of modern life and excel in your pursuits.

 

A busy life should not be an
excuse to neglect your wellness needs. Dr. Morepen’s multivitamins empower
individuals to meet today’s demands with strength, clarity, vigour and
confidence.

<description><![CDATA[ Chennai : ClearTouch, a leading provider of AI-driven
cloud contact center solutions, today announced its integration with
Credility’s goCollect platform, India’s fastest-growing system for digital,
telecalling, and field-based loan collections. 

This
partnership brings ClearTouch’s dialer intelligence and natural language
compliance (NLC) directly inside goCollect’s telecalling CRM, enabling lenders
to reduce operational silos and improve coordination between telecallers and
field recovery agents. 

In
tier-2 to tier-5 markets, where NBFCs handle large AUMs and cash collections
dominate, the goCollect field app has become indispensable. With this
integration, ClearTouch amplifies that strength by: 

●       
Syncing telecaller actions instantly to
on-ground field teams. 

●       
Eliminating system toggling and manual
re-entry. 

●       
Ensuring every PTP commitment turns into a
recoverable action. 

●       
Supporting multi-touch borrower engagement
across channels. 

●       
Delivering compliance guardrails out of the
box. 

From
digital nudges in early buckets to cash pickup fulfilment, ClearTouch
accelerates every step of the recovery cycle. 

Core
outcomes for lenders 

●       
Higher contactability with intelligent
auto-dial and prioritized case lists

●       
Real-time PTP fulfilment via instant
assignment to field agents

●       
Improved team utilization with guided
workflows and performance analytics

●       
Regulatory-ready governance with recordings,
transcripts, sentiment analysis, and keyword alerts

●       
Unified telecalling and field visibility for
faster revenue realization. 

●       
Lower cost per collection with smarter channel
routing. 

Collections
cannot afford handoffs that break borrower intent. By embedding our contact
center intelligence into goCollect’s telecalling CRM, we ensure that what’s
promised on a call is acted upon in the field without delay, data loss, or
compliance risk. 

Dhivakar
Aridoss, Marketing Head, ClearTouch

ClearTouch
continuously feeds call outcomes, transcriptions, keyword flags, and borrower
sentiment back into goCollect, enabling lenders to make faster, more informed decisions
on field deployment, channel escalation, risk segmentation, borrower intent
analysis, and next-best actions. 

ClearTouch
allows us to bring smart contact strategies into our field-first ecosystem.
Telecallers initiate action digitally; field agents complete it physically, and
now both stay in lockstep. This drastically reduces TAT and boosts
accountability across the board. 

Dhruv
Vora, Operations Director, Credility

ClearTouch
sees this partnership as part of its broader mission to support lenders across
India, enabling them to scale operations faster and meet evolving compliance
standards with confidence.

<title>Ayurveda Beyond Seasonal Immunity: How Khayal Health Fits into The Everyday Wellness Niche</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/ayurveda-beyond-seasonal-immunity-how-khayal-health-fits-into-the-everyday-wellness-niche</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/ayurveda-beyond-seasonal-immunity-how-khayal-health-fits-into-the-everyday-wellness-niche</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Despite
the growing popularity of Ayurvedic formulations in India&#039;s wellness sector, a
constant consumer misconception continues to limit how people understand and
use traditional remedies like Shilajit, Chawanprash, and more. Many believe
these formulations are exclusively for winter months or for building seasonal
immunity.

To
fight this myth, emerging wellness brands like Khayal Health are now addressing this gap through education
and repositioning, emphasizing that authentic Ayurvedic rasayanas (rejuvenative
compounds) are designed for year-round wellness, not just seasonal strength.

The Seasonal Stereotype
That Persists

While
Ayurvedic texts have always advocated for consistent use of rasayanas
throughout the year to maintain balance in the body&#039;s systems, consumer
behavior tells a different story. Sales patterns across the wellness industry
show significant spikes during winter months, with consumption dropping sharply
as temperatures rise.

This
pattern reflects a widespread belief that traditional Ayurvedic formulations
are primarily immunity boosters relevant only during cold and flu season, a
narrow understanding that overlooks their broader application and benefits in
hormonal balance, cellular health, and daily energy support.

&quot;Ayurveda
was never meant to be just seasonal,&quot; says Rohan Seth,
Founder of Khayal Health. &quot;The concept of &#039;Rasayana&#039; in
classical texts refers to compounds that support health year-round. While
immunity is one benefit, these formulations work at a foundational level,
supporting energy, stress resilience, hormonal balance, and cellular regeneration
regardless of the season.&quot;

Educating for Everyday
Wellness

Khayal
Health&#039;s approach centers on helping consumers understand the complete scope of
traditional formulations. The brand&#039;s flagship products, Sampoornprash and
Suryatapi Shilajit Gold, reflect this educational positioning.

Khayal
Sampoornprash: Beyond Winter Immunity

While
most people think of herbal jams as winter products, Sampoornprash
is designed differently. Made using the traditional Avaleha Kalpana Vidhi
method, it combines over 30 herbs, dry fruits, mineral preparations (bhasmas),
and sun-processed Suryatapi Shilajit in a way that works for every season.

The
formula includes cooling ingredients like Raupya Bhasma (silver ash) and Prawal
Pishti (coral calcium) that prevent excess heat in summer, while warming herbs
boost energy in winter. This balance means it can nourish your body&#039;s tissues,
support digestion, improve energy levels, and help maintain hormonal balance
all year round, not just during cold months.

Suryatapi
Shilajit Gold: Cellular Wellness Year-Round

Similarly,
Shilajit is often mistaken only for male health or winter strength, but it does
much more than that. Khayal&#039;s Suryatapi Shilajit Gold
goes through a 90 to 120-day sun-purification process and includes real gold,
120 mg of Swarna Bhasma (gold ash), and 30 mg of Swarna Vark (gold foil). It
contains over 77% Fulvic Acid and more than 90 essential minerals.

These
ingredients work inside your cells to help your body produce energy better,
absorb nutrients more effectively, and function more efficiently, benefits that
matter whether you&#039;re male or female, and regardless of the season. For women,
it helps replenish iron, balance hormones, and support menstrual health. For
men, it boosts natural energy, supports heart health, and improves physical
performance. For everyone, it helps manage stress and supports healthy aging.

Quality Standards for
Daily Trust

For
people to use these products throughout the year, quality matters. Khayal
Health makes everything in its own certified facility, controlling each step.
Every batch gets tested for harmful metals, purity, and effectiveness before
anyone buys it.

The
formulations are created with support from European Ayurvedic research centers,
European Institute of Scientific Research on
Ayurveda (EISRA) and Ayurvedic
Gezondheidscentrum Nederland (AGN) in the Netherlands. This combines
ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with today&#039;s scientific testing.

The
brand produces in small batches, carefully selects where ingredients come from,
and tests rigorously. This means you get the same high quality whether you&#039;re
buying in summer or winter.

The Everyday Ayurveda
Vision

As
India&#039;s wellness industry matures, Khayal Health sees an opportunity to restore
traditional Ayurvedic formulations to their intended role: everyday tools for
maintaining health and preventing imbalance, rather than seasonal interventions
for specific concerns.

&quot;Our
goal isn&#039;t to eliminate the association between these products and immunity,
that remains a genuine benefit,&quot; explains
Seth. &quot;Rather, we want consumers to understand that immunity is just
one aspect of what these formulations offer. When used consistently year-round,
they support foundational health that makes s ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Chennai, January 30, 2026 : Geri Care,
India’s leading integrated geriatric healthcare provider, today announced the
inauguration of its new Clinic and Skilled Nursing Facility for Senior Citizens
in Adyar, marking its 11th facility in India and another milestone in its
mission to deliver specialised, compassionate eldercare closer to communities.

The facility was inaugurated by renowned Tamil orator, writer and
television personality Smt. Bharathy Bhaskar, in the presence of Guests
of Honour Padma Shri Dr. VS Natarajan, widely regarded as the Father of
Geriatric Medicine in India, and Prof. Dr. AV Srinivasan, Distinguished
Neurologist and Founder of AVS Brain Charitable Trust.

Located at Indira Nagar, 4th Main Road, Adyar, the centre offers a
comprehensive range of services including a 50+ state of the art bedded Skilled
Nursing Facility- Senior Citizens Clinic, Assisted Living support, Memory
Clinic, Post-Surgery Care, Physiotherapy &amp; Rehabilitation,
Post-Hospitalisation Care, Respite Care, and Palliative Care — enabling seniors
and families to access coordinated care across recovery, rehabilitation, and
long-term support.

Speaking at the inauguration, Dr. Lakshmipathy Ramesh, Founder
&amp; Managing Director, Geri Care, said: “Adyar holds a very special
place in Geri Care’s journey — it is where our medical practice began and where
the idea of building a dedicated geriatric ecosystem first took root. With this
new Clinic and Skilled Nursing Facility, we are bringing together medical
expertise, nursing care, rehabilitation and emotional support under one roof.
Our goal is simple: to help elders age with dignity, comfort, and continuity of
care, while giving families confidence and peace of mind.”

Renowned Tamil Orator, Writer and TV personality, Smt. Bharathy
Bhaskar, Chief Guest at the inauguration, said, “It
is deeply meaningful for me to inaugurate Geri Care’s Skilled Nursing Facility
and Clinic at Adyar. Having trusted Dr. Lakshmipathy Ramesh with my father’s
care, I have seen firsthand his empathy and clinical excellence. As our
population ages, specialised geriatric care is no longer optional — it is
essential. Geri Care beautifully balances advanced medical capability with deep
human compassion, reminding us that ageing deserves dignity, comfort, and
respect.”

Padma Shri Dr. VS Natarajan, Guest of Honour,
added: “Over the years, I have seen geriatric care evolve from a niche
discipline into a critical pillar of healthcare. What Geri Care has built is a
true continuum — combining skilled nursing, clinics, rehabilitation and
assisted living in a way that responds to the real, everyday needs of older
adults. Centres like this Adyar facility demonstrate how specialised geriatrics
can be delivered at scale, without losing the human touch.”

Also addressing the gathering, Prof. Dr. AV Srinivasan, Distinguished
Neurologist and Founder, AVS Brain Charitable Trust, said: “Neurological
and cognitive conditions are among the most complex challenges in older adults.
What stands out at Geri Care is their holistic approach — from memory care and
rehabilitation to skilled nursing and family support. This Adyar centre
strengthens Chennai’s geriatric care ecosystem and will make a meaningful
difference to countless seniors.”

Geri Care also announced that operations at its existing integrated
geriatric clinic on Adyar 1st Main Road will be fully transitioned to this new
Adyar centre with immediate effect, consolidating clinical services, skilled
nursing, and rehabilitation under one roof for improved continuity of care.

As part of the inauguration day celebrations, Geri Care launched
Endrum Margazhi, a year-long cultural initiative dedicated to elders, with an
inaugural Carnatic vocal concert by Kalaimamani Dr. Nithyashree Mahadevan,
reinforcing Geri Care’s commitment to nurturing emotional wellbeing alongside
medical care.

With this launch, Geri Care strengthens its footprint across Chennai
and Bengaluru, with Coimbatore coming soon, continuing to build a 360-degree
continuum of eldercare spanning clinics, skilled nursing facilities, assisted
living residences and home-care services — all delivered by geriatric
specialists. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Flexible, structured, and career-oriented online
management education continues to gain momentum.

Hyderabad, India – January 2026 : India is witnessing a remarkable growth in online
education, as students and working professionals seek learning opportunities
that combine flexibility with high-quality education. The increasing popularity
of online MBA and BBA programs reflects a shift toward accessible,
future-focused education models that support both career progression and
academic growth. Among the recognized providers of such programs, ICFAI Online
MBA and BBA programs are preferred for their flexibility, quality education,
and long-term career relevance.

Growth of Online Programs

The dynamic business environment, along with technological
advancements, has pushed the demand for upskilling. As organizations seek
professionals with analytical, strategic leadership and thinking capabilities,
learners in India are turning to online degree programs as a viable solution.

Online education acts as a credible alternative to conventional
on-campus-based learning. Institutions are now utilizing modern age digital
platforms, comprehensive curriculum, and learner oriented systems to ensure
results that are measurable as well as industry-aligned. ICFAI Online has been
addressing this demand by offering structured MBA and BBA programs designed to
train students and professionals with the skills required for the competitive
workplace of the present times. By integrating systematic academics with modern
learning delivery, ICFAI Online has reinforced the credibility and acceptance
of online management education.

Flexibility for Working Professionals and Students

Flexibility is one of the primary factors that influence the
popularity of online programs. The ICFAI Online MBA program, devised as a flexible program, enables working
professionals as well as students to pursue higher education while maintaining
their careers and personal commitments. This approach makes it a suitable
program for active professionals who want to refine their managerial competencies,
explore leadership roles, or remain competitive in a dynamic industry.
Likewise, the ICFAI Online BBA program offers foundational courses in business expertise
to undergraduate learners at their own pace.

These programs also offer a credible distance alternative, doing
away with geographical limitations and fixed schedules. This offers learners
the liberty to study anytime from anywhere. By accommodating personal and
professional priorities, the online programs by ICFAI empower learners to
further their education without disrupting their routine.

Structured Curriculum and Academic Rigor

Academic quality, along with flexibility and accessibility,
remains the USP of ICFAI&#039;s online program’s approach. The online MBA and BBA
programs have a structured curriculum that combines conceptual knowledge with
practical application. The programs are industry-oriented and meet global
academic standards, ensuring learners gain business expertise that is
structured, relevant, and applicable to real-world business challenges.

Learners are trained by experienced faculty, comprehensive digital
study materials, continuous assessment methods, and interactive learning
platforms. Case studies, stimulating assignments, and application-based
exercises strengthen business concepts and critical thinking. This structured
approach ensures that the programs maintain high academic standards while
offering learners transferable skills to succeed in managerial and leadership
roles.

“ICFAI Online courses provide different options to absorb
content over and above the mandated text and videos says Dr. R. Prasad, Senior
Director, Online Programs. He adds that our programs use visual summaries, nano
case videos, very short must know videos and one-page cases. There are options
for assessment between project-based learning and case-based learning based on
the learner context and style. All these together contribute towards a better
learning experience.”

Recognition, Long-Term Career Relevance, and Scholarships

The acceptance of online courses in the industry has strengthened
the long-term value of online education. Companies today prioritize skills,
adaptability, and intention to learn, making degrees gained through accredited
online management programs highly relevant. ICFAI online programs are
meticulously designed to meet the ever-evolving needs of the industry, helping
individuals build sustainable and future-ready careers.

Graduates from ICFAI Online programs are trained for diverse
opportunities in various sectors, having the skills and confidence to take on
managerial responsibilities or pursue higher academic qualifications.

eligible candidates. Scholarships are offered to Defence, Paramilit ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/second-season-of-haryanas-superhit-family-comedy-series-videshi-bahu-has-been-released-on-stage-app</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ●       
The web series is breaking regional industry records upon its release.

●       
Four episodes were released on the first day, and now two new episodes
will be released every Friday. The web series consists of 26 episodes.

●       
The new season will feature a fun competition between the Videshi and
Desi Bahus, with prominent comedy stars from Haryana working on the cast.

The immensely popular web
series &quot;Videshi Bahu&quot; is back with its second season. STAGE App has
released &quot;Videshi Bahu - Season 2.&quot; After the immense popularity of
the first season, viewers have been waiting for its sequel for a long time.
This time, the story will be even more entertaining, complex, and filled with a
desi twist. In this new season, powerful actors like Rajesh Singhpuria, Jagbir
Rathi, Naveen Naru, Irina, ND Anushka, Jogendra Kundu, Rambir Aryan, Rajkumar
Dhankhar, and Reena Balhara will once again provide viewers with a dose of
laughter and drama with their hilarious performances. Four episodes of this web
series were released simultaneously on the first day, and now two new episodes
will be released every Friday. Significantly, this web series has received
immense love from viewers since its first day and has broken all records in the
regional industry.

A dose of comedy every
Friday, in a desi style:

&#039;Videshi Bahu - Season 2&#039;
is being released in an episodic format. New episodes will be available every
Friday on the STAGE App, keeping viewers engaged with laughter, drama, and new
relationship complexities. The creator of this web series is Mohit Bharti, who
also created the first season. Mohit Bharti says that the first season of
Videshi Bahu was a huge hit, and viewers have been eagerly awaiting its second
season ever since. The second season has been expanded to meet audience demand.
The new season features a total of 26 episodes, providing viewers with a double
dose of comedy every week.

When two daughters-in-law
are face-to-face... and the poor husband is caught in the middle:

While the clash between the
foreign daughter-in-law and the Indian family brought laughter to the audience
in the first season, the story takes a more serious turn in Season 2. Now, the
issue is not just about culture, but love, tradition, and rights. On one side
is the foreign daughter-in-law&#039;s wisdom and modern thinking, while on the
other, the Indian daughter-in-law&#039;s rights, stubbornness, and village
traditions. In the middle is Azad—caught between two daughters-in-law, finding
himself in new trouble every day.



Story: A desi twist, a
foreign shock, and a burst of comedy

&#039;Videshi Bahu - Season 2&#039;
is a story that explores the complexities of relationships with a lighthearted
humor. This is a story of desi versus videshi, where every decision upsets
someone. Each episode brings new misunderstandings, hilarious conflicts, family
pressures, and a powerful punch of desi comedy, giving viewers a completely
relatable and entertaining experience.

A story rooted in Haryanvi
soil, reaching every home:

The biggest strength of
this web series is its desi roots. The village streets, the domestic squabbles,
the taunts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the husband&#039;s
helplessness are all depicted in a way that Haryana audiences can relate to.
India&#039;s first dialect-based OTT platform, STAGE App, is continuously
reinventing Haryanvi content. &#039;Videshi Bahu - Season 2&#039; furthers STAGE&#039;s vision
of presenting global entertainment in the local language. According to the
STAGE App team, “Videshi Bahu is not just a comedy, it is the story of every
household in Haryana.

Season 2 is going to bring

<title>Fasal Unveils ‘FasalJet’ &amp;amp; ‘FasalJet Pro’ to Address Soaring Farmer Demand for On&amp;Farm Tech Solutions; Deepens Footprint in Southeast Asia</title>

<description><![CDATA[ With a mature technology
system operating at scale, the agri-tech firm’s new offerings have already
found interest from several state government departments and other large
institutions, besides thousands of farmers across India &amp; Southeast Asia

Bengaluru, January 29,
2026: After exiting its fresh produce business in
March’25, leading agri-tech company Fasal today announced bolstering the next
phase of its growth through its new products developed to address the
increasing farmer demand for technology-enabled farming solutions. The company
announced the launch of ‘FasalJet’ and ‘FasalJet Pro’ - irrigation and
fertigation automation products - which automate precision-sensitive operations
for farmers. Fasal’s research depicts that these offerings, along with its
robust ‘FasalOne’ family of farm IoT devices, can make the Indian horticulture
sector significantly more competent globally.

As
Fasal’s crop intelligence systems scaled, the company noticed a consistent
pattern emerging from the fields - tight labour availability and rising wage
costs, and operational complexity - made farming more demanding. FasalJet and
FasalJet Pro were designed to address this need for irrigation and fertigation
automation, extending the platform from sensing and recommendations into
on-farm execution. These systems automate precision-sensitive operations where
manual execution often breaks down, while remaining simple enough to operate in
real farming conditions. The automation products have been fully developed,
commercially validated, and are now being scaled across multiple Indian states,
including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh,
besides others. The focus remains clear: build systems farmers can depend on,
every day, without adding operational burden.

Fasal’s
technology offerings include FasalOne, launched in April 2025, a
next-generation farm Internet of Things (IoT) platform, designed to work across
crops, geographies, and farm sizes. Built and proven in India’s most demanding
farm conditions, Fasal’s platform reflects a simple belief: if technology can
work reliably here, it can work anywhere. The company is taking this made-in-India,
for-the-world approach into its next phase of growth. 

Built
around a modular architecture of central and satellite units, the FasalOne
platform allows farms to start small and expand over time, increasing both
coverage and capability without replacing existing systems. This platform
design lowers entry barriers for very small landholdings while continuing to
support larger and more complex operations. Since launch, the platform has been
steadily scaled across farms in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra 

Pradesh,
Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, etc.,
with reliability, usability, and real-world performance guiding every
deployment. The company aims to support up to 100,000 farmers across India and
Southeast Asia in the next 5 years. 

Technology
validated for regional and national institutional programmes 
Over the past year, Fasal has deepened its product and technology
foundation and launched these new products in response to growing on-ground
needs through technology validated for regional &amp; national sensitive
institutional programmes. This phase has also been shaped by a deliberate
strategic choice: Fasal sharpened its focus on farm
technology as its primary operating business. That decision allowed the
company to concentrate on what it had been building steadily over the years,
technology designed to help farmers make the right decisions and execute them
reliably on the ground, especially as labour availability becomes an increasing
constraint.

Alongside
farmer adoption, Fasal’s technology has increasingly been deployed through
institution-led programmes focused on productivity, resource efficiency, and
traceability at regional and state levels. One such initiative is the Sugarcane
Productivity Improvement Programme, led by ADT Baramati. As part of this
programme, Fasal implemented its IoT &amp; crop intelligence systems across 5,000
farms in phase I, with the programme expected to expand to tens of thousands
more farmers in the coming years. Fasal was also a part of Atal Bhujal Yojana,
a national programme aimed at improving groundwater sustainability through
community-led behaviour change. In this context, Fasal’s technology has
supported data-driven irrigation decisions and more responsible groundwater use
at the farm level. More recently, Fasal has been entrusted with a Grape &amp;
Pomegranate Productivity Improvement Programme in Karnataka, supported by the
Karnataka Department of Horticulture. This initiative focuses on improving
productivity, quality, and traceability across Grape &amp; Pomegranate-growing
regions by deploying farm-level intelligence consistently across individual farms,
rather than relying on fragmented interventions. F ]]></description>

The moral of CLAT 2026 which law aspirants have learned is:
order is superior to disorder.

It was administered on December 7, 2025 as CLAT 2026, and it
had been conducted in 156 centres in 25 states, 93 metropolises and 4 Union
Territories. There were 92,344 applications.

And on the very summit of this contest was a system of
preparation which was not a gimmick--it was a repetition.

Consortium in the notification of the result indicated that
CLAT 2026 UG was marked on 119 marks (one mark dropped) and UG maximum mark was
112.75.

That 112.75 has risen to be something beyond a number. It is
a heading of what many tutors call the real CLAT advantage; a treadmill,
no-mercy practice and cure-to-all-ills.

A system that tells you what is the next step.

This tendency of AIR-1 preparation is consistent with its
opinion about high scorers students who are not studying but tracking,
diagnosing, and fixing.

Harsh Gagrani, Co-founder, Toprankers, says that CLAT is a
time based decision making examination. The benefit is a system weekly goals,
mocks to have a glimpse of the pressure, on-the-job analysis, and mentor
feedback, and mistakes are a roadmap of what is to happen next week, not a
speech of encouragement.

Harsh said: Structure even makes you even when your score
goes down. The lack of form leads to the students panicking and changing
sources. They personify tact in an organized manner.

What ground-based structured coaching would be.

LegalEdge
describes its classroom environment as a mix of classroom courses, online
courses, weekly exams, doubt-clearing classes, support of current affairs, and
customized study plans that allow preparation not to be disrupted even in case
school schedules and distractions are particularly high.

The model entails feedback loops in comparison with one way
teaching. When providing its overview of the mentorship program, it highlights
the aspect of the involvement in mentorship that assumes the pre-reviewing of
the mock performance and the development of the actionable improvement steps.

Lesson of AIR-1 Intensity optional- Consistency not.

In a different community outreach undertaken by Times of
India, CLAT 2026 AIR-1 Geetali Gupta objected the culture of short cuts and
emphasized on balance and discipline- saying that the aspirants must have faith
and stay focused.

LegalEdge points to such an attitude as the silent
differentiator of topper journeys: the ability to project oneself day-in,
day-out, race to plan, and leave feedback to do the massive work.

The significance of explaining 202627 to 202728 aspirants.

In 2026, CLAT training will be conducted in a state of
infinite material - notes, reels, hacks 100 and training tricks. The adverse
side is predictable: the students read more and learn less.

Arranged coaching nullifies those which have the demand of
clearing up:

• one plan for the week,

• one mock cycle,

• one analysis framework,

and mentor intervention in which there is pattern
repetition.

Even the account of the journey of Geetali, as written by
LegalEdge itself, is an affirmation that it is something that works: the
reading of the newspaper regularly, the practicing daily, the drilling through
of mock problems, the review of your work by the mentor, and the compounding
over the period of time, has been demonstrated to be more effective.

Centre-level mentorship and touchpoints via an online
classroom.

Regarding that, according to LegalEdge, the massive shift in
CLAT preparation within the recent past is that top performers no longer rely
on isolation. They ensure a constant communication with faculty through
live/online classroom services and regular visits with mentors, therefore,
course correction is timely and, before a bad pattern becomes an habit, it is
too late.

The brand this form was not exclusive to the metro classroom
environment since they have a variety of centres throughout the city as well,
one of them being Jodhpur which also has a mentor + test + feedback loop with
aspirants locally preparing.

<title>Historic Jain Diksha Mahotsav 2026 to be Held in Borivali, Mumbai</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/historic-jain-diksha-mahotsav-2026-to-be-held-in-borivali-mumbai</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai is set to witness a
historic and unprecedented spiritual event. The Jain Diksha Mahotsav 2026 is
being organized for the first time on such a grand and magnificent scale in the
Chikuwadi area of Borivali West. This five-day mega spiritual celebration,
titled “Sanyamrang Utsav,” will be held from 4th February to 8th February 2026,
with the grand culmination on 8th February 2026, when 18 male and 46 female
aspirants will collectively embrace Jain Diksha under one pavilion - a
first-of-its-kind event in the history of Maharashtra.

For the Mahotsav, a vast
spiritual township spread across 2,50,000 square feet has been developed,
creating an environment deeply immersed in renunciation, penance, discipline,
and the core spiritual values of Jainism.

The Diksha ceremony will
take place under the auspicious presence of senior Acharya Bhagwant,
Gachchhadhipati Pujya SomSundarSuriji Maharaj Saheb, along with several revered
Acharyas. The Diksha will be conducted under the guidance of Pujya
YogtilakSuriji Maharaj Saheb, disciple of Pujya JinChandraSuriji Maharaj Saheb,
the Jainacharya of the Pujya ShantichandraSuri tradition. The event will be
graced by the sacred presence of more than 800 monks and nuns.

During the five-day
Mahotsav, an excellently organized Sadharmik Bhakti (community meals)
arrangement has been made for over 2,00,000 devotees.The massive dining hall
can accommodate more than 10,000 people at a time, serving meals three times
daily.



To spread the spiritual
message among the masses, sweets will be distributed to over 1,00,000
households, ensuring that the essence of Jain spirituality reaches every corner
of society.

More than 200 Jain Sanghs
of Mumbai and 1,800 trustees have been invited to this historic event,
generating widespread enthusiasm across the Jain community.

Enhancing the grandeur of
the Mahotsav, the Derasar premises will be illuminated daily with over 1,000
lamps, creating a divine ambience reminiscent of Diwali. In the evenings,
renowned devotional singers such as Manan Sanghvi, Shivam Singh, Sunny Shah,
along with 12 musical teams, will present soulful bhakti music and cultural
performances. Key attractions include the farewell ceremony of the Diksharthis
and the grand Varshidan Yatra.

Within the spiritual
township, visitors will experience the Shaurya Gatha, a specially curated
spiritual gallery, majestic temples, and several unique spiritual
installations.

A remarkable highlight of
this Diksha Mahotsav is the diversity of aspirants - ranging from a 72-year-old
senior to a 9-year-old child. The group includes three entire families and four
married couples who will renounce worldly life together. Many aspirants come
from highly educated and professional backgrounds, including Chartered
Accountants, PhD scholars in Physics, Architects, Food Technologists, BA-LLB
graduates, Interior Designers, Medical Lab Technology experts, and
postgraduates in Arts and Science.



The Diksharthis hail from
nine Indian states and cities - Surat, Ahmedabad, Banaskantha (Bhabhar, Tharad,
Vav), Saurashtra, Mumbai, Pune, Udaipur, Hinganghat, Raipur, and Ujjain - along
with two aspirants from the United States of America (USA), reflecting the
global spiritual reach of Jainism.

This monumental event is
being organized by the Adhyatmik Parivar with the generous support of
benevolent patrons, and over 700 dedicated volunteers are selflessly serving to
ensure its success. It is noteworthy that under the divine guidance of
Jainacharya YogtilakSuriji Maharaj Saheb, a collective Diksha of 44 aspirants
was organized at the same Chikuwadi location in Borivali in 2019, and over 350
individuals have embraced Diksha through his spiritual guidance in the past
decade. The year 2026 also marks the centenary of the Diksha of Pujya
ShantichandraSuriji, making this occasion even more auspicious.

The Jain Diksha Mahotsav
2026 - Sanyamrang Utsav, to be held in Borivali, will add a glorious chapter to
Jain tradition and elevate Mumbai’s spiritual and cultural identity to new
heights. ]]></description>

<title>From Banker to First Responder: The Value of Community Service in Times of Crisis</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/from-banker-to-first-responder-the-value-of-community-service-in-times-of-crisis</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Ghaziabad,
29 Jan : Community
service often remains invisible until a crisis brings it to the forefront. The
recent fire accident near Saviour Park Society, Mohan Nagar, Ghaziabad,
on 20 January 2026, was one such moment that highlighted the crucial
role played by trained volunteers alongside official emergency services.

 

The
incident, which involved a fire in a factory basement with reports of people
trapped inside, required immediate and coordinated action. Among the first
responders was Vikas Kapoor, a Gurugram-based banker working with a
UK-based bank, and a volunteer with Ghaziabad Civil Defence, an
voluntary organization under the Ministry of Home Affairs that trains citizens
to assist authorities during disasters, emergencies, and war-like situations.

 

According
to Civil Defence officials, Kapoor promptly informed senior officers and nearby
volunteers as soon as the incident came to light. He reached the accident site
within minutes, while other Civil Defence volunteers arrived shortly
thereafter. The early presence of trained volunteers proved vital in managing
the situation before full-scale emergency response systems were in place.

 

Civil
Defence volunteers worked in close coordination with the Fire Department and
other emergency services , assisting in the safe evacuation of individuals
trapped inside the burning basement. They also helped identify injured persons
and ensured that they were shifted to nearby hospitals without delay. Emergency
medical services, including the 108 ambulance service, were alerted
immediately to support on-ground rescue operations.

 

Officials
noted that such swift community-led response significantly strengthens disaster
management efforts. Trained volunteers act as a bridge between the public and
professional emergency agencies, helping control panic, streamline rescue
efforts, and save precious time.

 

The
role played by volunteers like Vikas Kapoor underlines the importance of
community participation in disaster response. Despite demanding professional
commitments, many citizens continue to dedicate their time and effort to public
service through organizations such as Civil Defence.

 

Experts
believe that wider citizen involvement in structured community service can
greatly enhance urban disaster preparedness. “Disasters do not distinguish
between professions,” a senior Civil Defence official remarked. “What matters
is readiness, training, and the willingness to act.”

 

As
cities continue to grow and risks increase, the Ghaziabad incident serves as a
reminder that community service is not just an act of goodwill—it is a
critical pillar of national resilience. The contribution of trained
volunteers, working quietly and effectively, often becomes the difference
between chaos and control.

<description><![CDATA[ Surat,
January 28, 2026 : Liebherr Appliances India Pvt. Ltd.,
part of the €14.6 billion Liebherr Group and a global leader in premium home
refrigeration known for its innovation and precision engineering, hosted a
distributor meet in Surat as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen channel
partnerships and enhance product knowledge across key markets.

The
focused three-hour session brought together distributors and trade partners
from the region, providing a platform for in-depth interaction, product
training, and exchange of market insights. The meet underscored Liebherr’s
commitment to working closely with its distribution network to drive informed
selling and sustained market growth.

The
session featured a comprehensive introduction to Liebherr’s full range of
refrigeration solutions, including detailed, model-wise product explanations and
discussions on the relevance of fully integrated and premium refrigeration in
modern Indian kitchens. Emphasis was placed on key differentiators such as
design integration, performance efficiency, advanced cooling technologies, and
features tailored for Indian usage patterns.

Speaking
on the initiative, Kapil Agarwal, Managing Director – Sales, Liebherr
Appliances India, said, “Strong distributor partnerships are central to our
growth strategy in India. Sessions like these allow us to directly engage with
our channel partners, deepen product understanding, and align on market
opportunities. Surat is a key market for us, and this meet reflects our focus
on empowering distributors with the right knowledge and tools to deliver value
to customers seeking premium, future-ready refrigeration solutions.”

The
meet also witnessed the presence of leading architects and interior designers,
including Ar. Kunal Engineer and Ar. Pinal Engineer, reinforcing Liebherr’s
growing engagement with the design community. In this context, Liebherr
introduced the ‘Liebherr Design Circle’, an exclusive experiential networking
programme curated for architects and interior designers. The initiative aims to
foster collaboration, learning, and creative exchange around fully integrated cooling
solutions and luxury kitchen design, while offering members opportunities for
recognition through curated awards, knowledge sessions, and immersive brand
experiences. The Design Circle was well received by the attending design
professionals, who appreciated the brand’s structured approach to engaging the
design fraternity and supporting design-led innovation in premium kitchens.

Sharing
perspective on the initiative, Ar. Kunal Engineer said, “There is a
growing demand for fully integrated, design-sensitive kitchen solutions that
align seamlessly with contemporary architecture. The Liebherr Design Circle
creates a valuable platform for architects to engage with advanced
refrigeration technologies while encouraging meaningful exchange and
collaboration within the design community.”

Ar.
Pinal Engineer added, “Luxury kitchens today demand a
thoughtful balance between aesthetics, performance, and integration. The
introduction of the Liebherr Design Circle is a well-timed initiative that
enables architects and interior designers to explore innovation, share ideas,
and collectively elevate the design conversation around premium kitchen
spaces.”

Participants
also engaged in interactive discussions around evolving consumer expectations,
premiumisation trends in home appliances, and how distributors can effectively
address customer demand for high-performance, visually cohesive kitchen
solutions. The meet concluded with an open Q&amp;A session, encouraging
dialogue, feedback, and knowledge-sharing.

Surat’s
rapid urban development, rising disposable incomes, and increasing preference
for premium home appliances make it an important market for Liebherr. The city
continues to witness growing demand for sophisticated kitchen solutions,
presenting strong opportunities for channel-led expansion.

The
distributor meet was hosted at Pushpa Agency, one of Surat’s oldest and most
premium electronics showrooms, established in 1996. With two locations in
Nanpura and Vesu, Pushpa Agency offers solutions across leading electronics and
premium kitchen appliance brands, including Liebherr. The Vesu showroom
showcases Liebherr’s complete product range, enabling distributors and
customers to experience the brand’s offerings first-hand.

The
Surat distributor meet reinforces Liebherr’s focus on building long-term,
value-driven relationships with its channel partners through regular
engagement, structured training, and collaborative growth initiatives, while
strengthening its presence in Gujarat’s premium home and kitchen appliances
market.

<title>Akshaya Patra Takes the Message of Food and Nutrition Security to Davos 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Delhi,
January 2026 : The Akshaya Patra Foundation undertook the
initiative of serving freshly cooked, wholesome meals by setting up a special
food kiosk near the Ratia Centre on Promenade Street during the World Economic
Forum Annual Meeting 2026, in Davos. Akshaya Patra served meals to more than a
thousand visitors every day, demonstrating how food can be a powerful catalyst
for dialogue, empathy, and action. The initiative drew the attention of leaders
and influencers to the organization’s efforts to provide food and nutrition
security for children and communities.

The
kiosk was inaugurated by Shri Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General,
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). Shri Pralhad Joshi, Hon’ble Union
Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution &amp; New and
Renewable Energy, Government of India, visited the Akshaya Patra kiosk and
appreciated the simplicity and nutritional value of the food. Shri Anoop
Dhingra, Deputy Ambassador from India to Switzerland, also paid a visit to the
kiosk and showed his support. Various international organizations, global
delegates, policymakers, business leaders, and civil society representatives
stopped by the kiosk and relished the hot, delicious Indian cuisine amid
sub-zero temperatures at the summit. 

The
distinguished visitors viewed Akshaya Patra’s school lunch program for children
as an investment on par with physical infrastructure such as roads, power, and
digital connectivity. Just as infrastructure enables economic productivity,
nutrition enables cognitive development, learning outcomes, and long-term human
capital formation. Without adequate nourishment, the returns on education
systems and development spending remain fundamentally constrained.

Akshaya
Patra’s feeding initiative at Davos was praised as a powerful tool of cultural
diplomacy, offering global participants an opportunity to experience India’s
civilizational values rooted in compassion and service. Conversations sparked
around the meal counter extended beyond feeding programs to broader discussions
on sustainable food systems, public–private collaboration, and scalable,
cost-effective social infrastructure.



In
the event, the Akshaya Patra team highlighted the intrinsic link between
nutrition, education, and economic growth through the ancient Indian tradition
of Annadaan (extensive food distribution) at one of the world’s most
influential global platforms. The act of serving meals in Davos was not just
symbolic; it emphasized the conviction that no child should be deprived of
education due to hunger, and that nutrition is fundamental to child development
and welfare. Its presence at Davos 2026 reaffirmed that ensuring food and
nutrition security is strategic nation-building and global development
investment. The Foundation underscored a compelling message: investing in
children’s nutrition delivers some of the highest returns society can make, and
the world has both the means and responsibility to act collectively.

Akshaya
Patra has been proudly implementing the Government of India’s flagship PM
POSHAN program for the last 25 years by providing wholesome lunch to children
studying in government schools. The organization currently serves over 2.3
million children every school day in 16 states and 3 Union Territories across
India and aspires to feed 3 million children by 2030.

The
Davos feeding program was organized in partnership with World Food Movement
(WFM). Inspired by the success of Akshaya Patra, its founders established World
Food Movement last year with the aim of nourishing students and communities in
America and across the world. WFM will contribute extensively to global food
and nutrition security so that young minds can learn with energy and joy, and
communities across the world can find hope and dignity.

Sri
Madhu Pandit Dasa, Founder and Chairman of Akshaya Patra and WFM, said,
“Akshaya Patra is a social innovation that has harnessed the potential of a
collaborative public-private partnership, integrating technology and good
governance to serve hot, nutritious meals in Indian schools for 25 years. Our
state-of-the-art, world-class kitchen facilities cook and distribute food at
scale and are studied globally for their quality and efficiency. WFM will
utilize the learning and expertise gathered from Akshaya Patra’s feeding
experience in its projects and initiatives.

We
are grateful to everyone who visited our kiosk and extended their good wishes,
support and encouragement to our feeding program. We believe that
collaborations and partnerships are essential for knowledge sharing and
ensuring the holistic development of children. We will be happy to partner with
organizations and agencies to increase our contribution to food and nutrition
security across the world.”

Sri
Naveena Neerada Dasa, Executive Director, Global Communications and Strategy,
said, “We thank the organiz ]]></description>

<title>Why Super Clone Watches Are Reshaping How Consumers Evaluate Luxury Timepieces</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/why-super-clone-watches-are-reshaping-how-consumers-evaluate-luxury-timepieces</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/why-super-clone-watches-are-reshaping-how-consumers-evaluate-luxury-timepieces</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For decades, luxury
watches have symbolised craftsmanship, heritage, and exclusivity. Mechanical
precision, brand legacy, and scarcity formed the backbone of how consumers
assessed value. However, in recent years—and especially heading into 2026—that
framework has begun to shift. A growing segment of consumers is no longer
evaluating luxury timepieces solely through brand ownership. Instead, they are
focusing on experience, usability, and proportional value.

At the centre of this
shift is the rising attention around super clone watches and platforms
such as PrestigeWatches.co. This emerging category of watches has changed how
many people define quality, realism, and worth in modern horology.

The Shift in Luxury
Watch Consumer Behavior

Rising
prices and accessibility gaps in luxury watches

Luxury watch prices
have increased steadily over the past decade. Entry-level mechanical models
that were once attainable have moved beyond the financial reach of many
consumers. At the same time, resale markets have pushed prices even higher,
often detaching value from manufacturing cost.

Long
waitlists and allocation fatigue

Scarcity, once a symbol
of prestige, has become a point of frustration. Multi-year waitlists and
limited allocations have altered purchasing behaviour, with many buyers seeking
alternatives that offer immediate availability without long-term commitment.

Why
consumers are prioritizing experience over ownership

Rather than focusing on
ownership as status, consumers are increasingly evaluating watches based on how
they feel on the wrist, how they perform daily, and how seamlessly they
integrate into real-world use.

What Are Super Clone
Watches?

Super clone watches
represent the highest tier of replica timepieces. Unlike earlier generations of
replicas, these models are engineered to replicate original designs across
measurable dimensions—case size, weight, dial layout, crystal clarity, and
movement behaviour.

How they
differ from traditional replica watches

Traditional replicas
focused primarily on visual similarity. Super clones, by contrast, aim to
reproduce the full physical and mechanical experience, including tactile
elements such as crown resistance, bracelet articulation, and movement sweep.

Why the
term “1:1 super clone” emerged

The phrase “1:1” reflects
an intent to match original specifications as closely as possible. While not
authentic luxury products, these watches are designed to mirror the originals
in form and function rather than acting as simple fashion imitations.

Super Clone Watches vs
Replica Watches: Key Differences

Materials
and case construction

Lower-tier replicas
often use lightweight alloys and mineral glass. Super clone watches typically
use higher-grade stainless steel and synthetic sapphire crystals, resulting in
realistic weight and durability.

Movement
behavior and accuracy

Basic replicas rely on
quartz movements. Super clones generally feature automatic mechanical movements
designed to emulate the cadence and operation of Swiss calibres.

Finishing,
weight, and tactile realism

Finishing
quality—polishing, brushing, engraving—has become one of the most noticeable
differentiators. Super clones are judged heavily on how closely these details
align with genuine counterparts.

How Modern Super Clone Watches Are Manufactured

CNC machining and digital case replication

Manufacturers now use
high-resolution digital scans and CNC machining to produce cases with tight
tolerances, allowing for consistent dimensional accuracy.

Sapphire
crystal and AR coating

Synthetic sapphire
crystals with anti-reflective coatings improve clarity and scratch resistance,
closely mimicking high-end originals.

Swiss-style
clone movements

While not Swiss-made,
these movements replicate the architecture and behaviour of established
mechanical designs, including smooth sweeping seconds and stable power
reserves.

Dial
printing and lume technology

Advanced printing
techniques and improved luminous compounds have elevated dial realism,
particularly under low-light conditions.

Why Enthusiasts Now
Judge Watches Differently

Wrist
presence and weight realism

The way a watch sits
and balances on the wrist has become a primary evaluation metric, often
outweighing brand recognition.

Mechanical
feel vs brand prestige ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For decades, luxury watches have symbolised craftsmanship, heritage, and exclusivity. Mechanical precision, brand legacy, and scarcity formed the backbone of how consumers assessed value. However, in recent years—and especially heading into 2026—that framework has begun to shift. A growing segment of consumers is no longer evaluating luxury timepieces solely through brand ownership. Instead, they are focusing on experience, usability, and proportional value.</span></p>

<title>From a Travel Startup to Ministry&amp;Certified Operator: How JustWravel Built India’s Leading Social Travel Community</title>

<description><![CDATA[ What does it take to
become India’s safest and most vibrant social travel community? On-Ground
expertise, visionary leaders, or a relentless passion for connecting explorers?
When all of this came together, JustWravel was born, a community where travel isn’t
just about destinations, but about shared experiences and lifelong friendships.

In just 9 years,
JustWravel has transformed the way India travels. From a small startup with a
bold vision to connect adventure seekers, it has grown into a trusted, community-driven
platform that inspires thousands to explore, connect, and live their travel
dreams.

Recently recognized as
a certified Best Adventure Tour Operator
by the Ministry of Tourism (Incredible India), JustWravel
is stepping into the new year with renewed energy and vision.

Building a Community, Not Just Trips

Founded in 2016,
JustWravel set out to create more than travel itineraries; it aimed to create a
social travel ecosystem. Today, its WravelerForLife community boasts
over 1 lakh active travelers, 10,000+ positive reviews, and an Instagram
community of 3 lakh+ followers, making it one of India’s most active and
engaged travel communities.

The numbers are more
than impressive, they reflect trust, loyalty, and shared experiences. Every 5
minutes, a new Wraveler joins the journey. 

Every month, thousands
of active travelers are exploring India and beyond with JustWravel, so while
you are reading this, someone is out there living their travel dream.

At the heart of this
success is JustWravel’s philosophy: Social. Trust. Safety. 

This approach has
produced a remarkable 30% repeat traveler rate, proving that JustWravel
isn’t just a platform, it’s a family of explorers.

Unlike traditional
travel agencies that focus solely on destinations, JustWravel prioritizes
community-first travel. 

From international tour packages,
fixed departures, all-girls trips, corporate tours, biking expeditions, treks,
to customized journeys, JustWravel ensures inclusivity, safety, and adventure
for every traveler.

The idea is simple yet
revolutionary: a one-stop platform for everything travel. It’s JustWravel.

Visionary Founders Behind the Movement

At the helm are Rohan
Verma and Shubhangi Pandey, whose combined passion for travel and
community-building transformed a startup into a nationwide movement.

Rohan Verma, Founder
&amp; CEO, ex-Coca Cola and Infosys professional,
envisioned a platform where travel could be about personal growth,
relationships, and unforgettable experiences. “While traveling with us, you’re
not joining a trip, you’re joining a community of like-minded explorers,” he
says. His leadership has set industry benchmarks in safety, innovation, and
traveler engagement.

Shubhangi Pandey,
Co-founder, has championed inclusivity and
sustainability. Her initiatives, like All Girls Trips and the
eco-conscious “Keep the Trails Alive” campaign, highlight her belief
that travel is transformative when safe, responsible, and accessible.

With Nishant Sharma
(Marketing Head) and Shanif Baig (Operations Head) providing operational
and strategic support, JustWravel has cemented its position as a leader in
adventure tourism, winning accolades like:

●       
Best Adventure Tour Operator – Economic Times
Travel &amp; Tourism Awards

●       
MSME Business Awards

●       
TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice

●       
State-level recognitions from Uttar Pradesh
&amp; West Bengal

●       
Recognized by the Ministry of Finance for
timely GST filings

Prioritizing Safety Without Compromising Adventure

Adventure travel can be
risky, but at JustWravel, safety comes first. Key initiatives include:

●       
Certified Trip Leaders trained in Wilderness
First Aid, Adventure Management, and Mountaineering

●       
Free Travel Insurance covering up to ₹4.5 lakh

●       
Level 2 riding jackets and advanced safety
gear for bikers

●       
24/7 assistance and robust contingency
planning for emergencies

This commitment ensures
travelers can focus on exploration, thrills, and connection, not worry.

The Road Ahead

As JustWravel
celebrates its 9th anniversary, the journey is far from over. With plans to
expand internationally while deepening domestic experiences, the focus remains
on transformative travel for every kind of explorer. Certifications from the
Adventure Tour Operators Association of India (ATOAI), MSME, and Startup India
further reinforce credibility and commitment.

From solo treks to
corporate team-building, every JustWravel experience is memorable, meaningful,
and safe. The community continues to grow, inspiring a new generation of
travelers who value connection, adventure, and shared experiences.

A Story of Vision, Trust, and Community

What started as a
simple idea in 2016 has evolved into a thriving social travel ecosystem where
thousands explore the world together. With Rohan Verma  ]]></description>

<title>Indian Ceramics Asia 2026 opens with a focus on efficiency, raw materials, and next&amp;stage technology adoption</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indian-ceramics-asia-2026-opens-with-a-focus-on-efficiency-raw-materials-and-next-stage-technology-adoption</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Gandhinagar January 29th : Indian Ceramics Asia 2026 opened on 28 January at the Helipad
Exhibition Centre, marking the 20th edition of the trade fair with a clear and
realistic outlook. This year, the focus has shifted from rapid expansion to
improving efficiency, controlling costs, and making smarter technology choices.

 

Organised by Messe Muenchen India in partnership
with Unifair Exhibition Service Co. Ltd., the three-day B2B exhibition features
over 300 leading brands. The exhibitor mix spans ceramic raw materials,
machinery, processing equipment, and allied technologies, underlining where
current industry conversations are concentrated improving efficiency, managing
energy costs, and ensuring consistent product quality rather than pursuing
aggressive capacity expansion.

 

International participation remains strong, with
exhibitors from eight countries Belgium, Bulgaria, China, Germany, Italy,
Japan, Portugal, and Slovenia. Dedicated country pavilions from Germany and
Italy highlight continued interest from European technology suppliers in the
Indian ceramics market.

 

Bhupinder Singh, President – IMEA, Messe München
&amp; CEO of Messe Muenchen India, said
in a statement that the industry has entered a more disciplined phase of
decision-making. “Manufacturers today are looking closely at where technology
can deliver measurable savings in energy, consistency, and output. Indian
Ceramics Asia has always reflected the industry’s priorities, and this edition
clearly shows a shift towards smarter, more sustainable manufacturing choices,”
he said.

 

Hareshbhai Ramjibhai Bopaliya, President (Wall Tiles Division), Morbi Ceramic Association, said, “For
MSME and mid-sized units in Morbi, the priority today is to reduce cost per
tile and improve consistency without taking big financial risks. Indian Ceramics
Asia 2026 is useful because it shows a variety of technologies that can be
adopted in stages. This makes the exhibition highly relevant for Morbi
companies planning careful, ROI-driven upgrades.”

 

One of the key highlights of the 2026 edition is
the Innovation Exchange Forum built around the theme “Ceramics for Tomorrow:
Sustainable, Smart, and Advanced.” Sessions cover energy management, raw
material optimisation, digitalisation, alternative fuels, and environmental
compliance, areas that are now central to day-to-day operations. Alongside
this, a live demonstration area allows visitors to see machinery and processing
technologies running under real conditions, helping buyers assess performance
before making investment decisions.

 

Robert Schoenberger, Global Industry Lead at Messe München GmbH, emphasised that India’s
ceramics industry continues to attract the attention of global suppliers
despite near-term challenges. “The focus is no longer solely on expanding
capacity. There is a clear interest in automation, digital process control, and
energy optimization. These developments bring Indian manufacturing closer to
international benchmarks and make the market strategically important for global
technology providers,” Schoenberger said.

 

Ken Wong, General Manager of Unifair Exhibition Service Co. Ltd., highlighted
the growing importance of knowledge exchange alongside sourcing. “Indian
companies are increasingly asking detailed questions about lifecycle costs,
process stability, and long-term returns. Platforms like the Innovation
Exchange Forum and live demo areas support more informed and cautious
investment decisions, especially for mid-sized manufacturers planning gradual
upgrades,” he said.

 

With domestic demand stabilising and export
markets remaining selective, Indian Ceramics Asia 2026 presents a clear picture
of an industry in transition. The emphasis is firmly on efficiency,
sustainability, and smart manufacturing choices that deliver measurable
business outcomes. ]]></description>

<title>SCIPL’s Evolving Role in Shaping Sustainable Public Infrastructure</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/scipls-evolving-role-in-shaping-sustainable-public-infrastructure</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/scipls-evolving-role-in-shaping-sustainable-public-infrastructure</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As India intensifies its focus on large-scale public and institutional
infrastructure, Swadeshi Civil Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. (SCIPL) is reinforcing
its role as a long-term nation-building partner, approaching five decades of
infrastructure development in India with a strong emphasis on leadership,
sustainability, and people-centric growth.

 

•     
Nearly 47 years of public and
institutional infrastructure development in India

•     
Delivery of courts, hospitals, campuses,
transport and government facilities

•     
Work executed with central and state
government agencies

•     
Annual turnover of ₹ 640 crore in 2025,
reflecting sustained execution scale

•     
Water-efficient construction practices,
targeting ~16 crore litres saved by 2030

•     
A people-first culture backed by
long-term employee retention

 

Founded in 1977, SCIPL has executed a wide spectrum of public
infrastructure and institutional construction projects across the country,
including court complexes, hospitals, institutional campuses, flyovers, stadium
infrastructure, and government facilities. The company has worked closely with
leading central and state government agencies such as CPWD, PWD, NCRTC, HSCC,
RITES, Airports Authority of India, and various state departments, building a
reputation for quality execution, safety compliance, and timely delivery.

 


 


 

Leadership Driving Long-Term Infrastructure Growth


 


 

Founded in 1977, SCIPL has grown into a
people-driven organisation of 250+ professionals, including engineers,
architects, supervisors, and technical specialists, supported by world-class
technologies. The company delivers complex, multi-location public-sector infrastructure
projects with consistency, scale, and execution discipline.

 

Post-2011, the organisation entered a new
phase of growth with an expanded outlook beyond domestic boundaries. Following
the foundational path laid by Mr. Ramavtar, this vision was carried
forward by Mr. Ankit Goel, under whose direction SCIPL strengthened its
pan-India presence while also extending its operations across international
markets.

 

Across geographies, SCIPL operates with a shared
commitment to quality and timely delivery, executing every project with
uncompromising standards and 100% safety.

 

Sustainability Integrated into Construction Practices

Beyond execution capabilities, SCIPL has embedded sustainable
construction practices into its core operations. For several years, the company
has consistently adopted curing compound technology across project sites,
significantly reducing water consumption during construction without
transferring additional costs to clients.

 

Through the continued use of resource-efficient construction methods,
SCIPL is working towards saving nearly 16 crore litres of water by 2030,
aligning on-ground execution with India’s broader environmental and
conservation priorities.

 

Water Saved So Far &amp; Commitment Ahead


 


Annual Day 2025 Reflects People-First Culture
Reaffirming its people-centric approach, SCIPL observed its Annual Day 2025
through a two-day internal programme in New Delhi, bringing together employees
from multiple project locations. The celebration centred on engagement and
recognition, featuring sports activities, a shared lunch, and Long-Term
Service Awards honouring employees with 5 to 25 years of service,
reinforcing the belief that strong infrastructure is shaped by dedicated
people.

 

Looking Ahead

As SCIPL approaches more than 4 decades in India’s infrastructure
sector, the organisation remains focused on leadership-led execution,
sustainable construction practices, and people-driven growth. With a legacy
rooted in responsibility and performance, SCIPL continues to support India’s
evolving infrastructure and development priorities.

<title>Sidhhant Motion Pictures presents, &amp;apos;Malumadi&amp;apos;, a heartfelt ode to motherhood in Gujarati cinema</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/sidhhant-motion-pictures-presents-malumadi-a-heartfelt-ode-to-motherhood-in-gujarati-cinema</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Gujarati cinema is ready to welcome a
film that doesn’t stay confined to the screen but quietly finds its way into
the heart of the audience. “Malumadi”, presented by Sidhhant Motion Pictures
and produced by Vikram Patolia and Kiran Khokhani, is set to release in
theatres on 30th January 2026.

This is not the story of a fictional
heroine.
This is the story of every Gujarati household’s mother.

Fondly known as “Gujarat’s Mother India”,
Malumadi is an emotional contribution to the selfless love, quiet strength and
unspoken sacrifices of Gujarati mothers, a form of motherhood that steps back
so the family can move forward.

Directed with sensitivity by Milan Joshi,
Malumadi explores love, sacrifice and the unbreakable bond of family in a way
that resonates across generations. It is a clean, family-friendly film, rooted
in emotion, values and truth.


Where emotion meets tradition

Malumadi tells a story that lives, in one
form or another, in every Gujarati home,
where a mother stands tall as the emotional pillar of the family.

This line from the film captures its
soul:
“I refuse to carry the burden of sins created by divisions of caste and
identity.”

These words are more than dialogue.
They reflect a mother’s moral courage, choosing humanity over social prejudice.

The film addresses contemporary social
realities with sensitivity, while reminding us that the true strength of a
family lies in love, not division.

Music that lingers long after

The film’s music is composed by Harman
Mer, with lyrics penned by Kiran Khokhani. The title track, in particular,
captures the essence of maternal love and silent sacrifice with such simplicity
that the emotion speaks louder than words.

Performances that feel real

In the lead role, Bharti Thakkar delivers
a performance that is not just watched but deeply felt. It stands among her
most powerful and emotionally rich portrayals to date.

She is supported by a strong ensemble
cast, including
Aakash Pandya, Priyam Talavia, Gurubhai Jethwa, Diya Bhatt, Vijay Jhala,
Ashitosh Solanki,
along with veteran actors Ashok Patel and Niharika Dave, who add depth and
authenticity to the narrative.

Cinematographer Jayesh Kaushik brings
visual realism and warmth to the film. The project is managed by Parth Navadia,
with Bharat Donda serving as Production Head.

Producer Vikram Patolia shares,

“Malumadi is not just a film, it’s the
story of every home.
A mother quietly holds everything together, without ever asking to be seen.
This film is our humble attempt to honour the emotions of all such mothers.”

With digital promotions led by Nexa
Infotech, Malumadi has already begun creating an emotional connection on social
media. The trailer has received encouraging responses on YouTube and Instagram,
with #malumadifilm steadily gaining popularity.

In theatres from 30th

 Experience
a film woven with the emotions of every mother, and the unbreakable bond of family.

<title>Fourteen Years of Codoid: Built Through Testing</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/fourteen-years-of-codoid-built-through-testing</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/fourteen-years-of-codoid-built-through-testing</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In an industry where companies often rise and fade with technology
cycles, completing fourteen years speaks of something more fundamental than
growth alone. Codoid
Innovations has reached that milestone by taking a route grounded in
learning, discipline, and a long-term view of software quality. At the centre
of that journey is Asiq, whose own career choices shaped the company’s
character from the very beginning.

 

Chance Meets Preparation

Asiq’s entry into the IT industry was marked by uncertainty. After
completing his B.Sc. in Computer Science from New College, he struggled to
secure a job. Looking back, he recognised the gap to be not in effort, but in
preparation. He was academically qualified, but not ready for the expectations
of the industry.

 

On the advice of a close friend, he pursued an M.Sc. in Information
Technology to strengthen his foundation. Even then, the struggle continued as
nearly eight months passed without a job offer. His eventual break came in the
most unexpected way. A casual conversation with a stranger he met at a hospital
led to a referral, an interview, and his first role in IT. 

 

The Stepping Stone

Like many aspiring engineers, Asiq wanted to be a software developer,
but his career started in software testing. Those around him reassured him that
he could transition into development after a year or two. At the time, he
believed that was the natural path.

 

That assumption began to change with experience. His first assignment
involved testing an HRMS application. He was introduced to automation scripting
through training in QTP, which was a leading enterprise test automation tool.
Writing automation test scripts and complex SQL queries offered the
satisfaction of coding, while testing revealed how software truly works and how
quality affects business outcomes.

 

What he once assumed would be a stepping stone toward software
development gradually became the foundation for building his own company.

 

Choosing Work Over Titles

Asiq was never particularly drawn to the traditional corporate ladder
or to promotions within large organisations. Nor did he find satisfaction in
remaining on a single project for extended periods. What held his interest
instead was the work itself: solving problems, delivering value, and then
moving on to the next challenge.

 

That way of working gradually set him apart from conventional career
paths. In 2012, after just four years in employment, he founded Codoid as a
fully bootstrapped venture. Over time, Asiq recognised that while
entrepreneurship is not for everyone, finding a career path aligned with one’s
curiosity and values matters deeply.

 

Built Through People, Not
Capital

The first two years of the entrepreneurial journey were particularly
demanding. Asiq worked as a freelance consultant across multiple client
engagements while gradually building a team. Being in a services-led industry,
where the people, not products, form the primary engine of value, work culture
was treated as the foundation of the company from the outset. 

 

Recruiting fresh graduates became both a practical and cultural choice.
It allowed skills to be developed internally while creating an environment
where learning was unavoidable. Engineers were continually exposed to new
tools, new ideas, and new ways of thinking about quality. Over time, this
approach shaped not only the company’s technical capabilities but also its
continuity. Several of the employees who joined during that formative phase
continue to be part of Codoid today.

 

Asked about the company’s growth, Asiq often speaks first about the
people who built it with him. He says:

 

“Running a company for more than a decade is deeply fulfilling, but
this journey was never a solo effort. Every milestone belongs to the people who
believed in the vision and walked alongside me.”

 

Shaped by the Work

Over fourteen years, this people-first approach has translated into a
company defined by depth rather than size alone. Headquartered in Chennai,
Codoid today is a team of more than 150 employees. Its work has ranged from
supporting young startups finding their footing to collaborating with large
global organisations operating at scale.

 

Across these engagements, the company has been involved in many forms
of software testing, including functional and non-functional testing, complex
test automation initiatives across platforms, and a growing focus on
accessibility testing to support inclusive and compliant software. This variety
of engagements has helped Codoid develop a practical, well-rounded view of
quality, shaped by real-world constraints rather than any single methodology,
tool, or trend.

 

What Endures

At the core of this journey lies a distinction shaped by experience
rather than theory. Having an idea does not automatically translate into
success or scale. Bui ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the core of this journey lies a distinction shaped by experience rather than theory. Having an idea does not automatically translate into success or scale. Building something that lasts demands discipline, honesty with oneself, continuous learning, and the ability to turn intent into sustained execution.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">That discipline has also defined his approach to innovation. Alongside building the company, Asiq has remained closely involved in engineering work, personally leading the development of several free tools at Codoid, including Fillo, VisGrid, Gyra, and Tester Companion. He continues to code, having recently learned Rust to build Gyra and Tester Companion, and sees himself first and foremost as a technologist.</p>

<description><![CDATA[ Bangalore, January 28, 2026 : Stäubli, the
global industrial and mechatronic solutions provider, today announced a
significant expansion of its manufacturing facility in Bangalore, representing
a $10 million strategic investment. The expansion strengthens Stäubli&#039;s
position in India&#039;s rapidly growing solar photovoltaic (PV) sector while
reinforcing the company&#039;s long-term commitment to the country&#039;s industrial
growth and the &#039;Make in India&#039; initiative.

 

The expanded facility will house advanced automated
assembly lines and enhanced quality assurance systems dedicated to the
production of MC4-Evo1 and MC4-Evo2 connectors, critical components that
connect solar modules to inverters and balance-of-system equipment. The move
strengthens Stäubli’s ability to meet rising domestic demand for high-quality,
locally manufactured PV connectors, while also supporting global supply
requirements.

 

“India is a key pillar in Stäubli’s global
growth and manufacturing strategy,” said Gerald Vogt, Chief
Executive Officer (CEO), Stäubli Group. “This investment strengthens our
global supply capabilities and enables us to support customers worldwide with
reliable, high-performance PV connector solutions produced to the highest
quality and sustainability standards.”

 

India’s solar sector continues to expand at scale,
increasing the need for dependable, locally manufactured components. Stäubli’s
expanded Bangalore facility addresses this demand by enabling higher production
volumes, reduced lead times, and improved supply chain resilience for OEMs, EPC
players, and asset owners.

 

“This expansion underscores our long-term commitment
to India’s renewable energy journey,” said Gurupad Bhat, Managing
Director, Stäubli Tec Systems India. “By strengthening local
manufacturing, engineering, and skill development, we are supporting the solar
ecosystem with globally benchmarked solutions while contributing to job
creation and industrial growth.”

 


 


 

The facility integrates cutting-edge automation and
energy-efficient manufacturing processes and operates as a zero-discharge
facility, aligned with stringent environmental standards. The expanded capacity
will also accelerate local application engineering and product development,
enabling faster, market-specific innovation while maintaining global
benchmarks.

 

Stäubli today serves customers across key regions
in India, including Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Chennai, and Karnataka,
underscoring the company’s strong nationwide footprint in the renewable energy
ecosystem.

 

The Bangalore facility will play a critical role in
Stäubli’s global operations, supporting both existing and emerging markets as
renewable energy adoption accelerates worldwide. The expansion also includes a
local vendor development initiative, strengthening backward integration and
India’s renewable energy manufacturing ecosystem.

 

The expanded Bangalore facility commence its
production in January 2026.

<title>The Real Power Behind the Pattern: How Women Are Building Pittari</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-real-power-behind-the-pattern-how-women-are-building-pittari</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A new rug brand
has an unusual workforce composition: 80% women. Here&#039;s why that matters.

Most Indian home
décor brands don&#039;t talk about who makes their products. Pittari, a startup
launched in 2024, built its entire production model around the answer.

The company makes
rugs with gold accents. But the more interesting story is who&#039;s making them.

The
Numbers Behind the Craft

Nearly 80% of
Pittari&#039;s manufacturing workforce is women. Many are first-generation earners
who&#039;d never held formal employment before.

They handle the
precision work—heat-sealing that creates gold detailing, quality control, final
assembly. The technical skills that determine whether a rug actually works.

India&#039;s home décor
industry is worth over ₹50,000 crore. It&#039;s always relied on artisan labor,
often informal and underpaid. Pittari formalized it. Training programs. Safe
conditions. Transparent compensation.

At ₹2,599 for
handcrafted pieces that take weeks to make, the margins are tight. The women
aren&#039;t there for appearance. They&#039;re there because the work demands skill.

Why
This Model Is Rare

Women&#039;s
participation in India&#039;s manufacturing sector stays around 12%. In textiles and
home goods, formal employment is uncommon despite women doing most of the work.

The tension is
real: ethical manufacturing typically means premium pricing. Pittari is testing
whether customers will pay ₹2,599 for a handcrafted rug without a luxury
markup.

Three weeks after
launch, the first collection sold out.

What
Actually Changes

For many in
Pittari&#039;s workforce, this is their first formal income. First time their skills
translate to market value. First time work creates economic independence.

The 23-year-old
founder grew up in textile manufacturing—his family runs an export business. He
had access to supply networks and production knowledge most young entrepreneurs
don&#039;t.

He used it to build
something different. A structure where the people making the product have
training and economic agency.

Whether this scales
depends on demand. If consumers care who made their rug and how, models like
this grow. If price is the only factor, they don&#039;t.

Right now, people
are buying. Not because it&#039;s cheap—because it&#039;s good, and transparency adds
value.

What
It Proves

Pittari isn&#039;t solving India&#039;s employment challenges. It&#039;s proving
one specific point: accessible pricing and ethical manufacturing can coexist.

Younger consumers
with disposable income increasingly ask where products come from. Not always,
but enough that it matters.

You know who made
your rug. You know they were trained and paid fairly. That information used to
cost extra. Pittari is testing whether it works at ₹2,599.

So far, it does.

<description><![CDATA[  Mumbai, 28 January 2026 : Panorama Studios
has entered into a strategic four-film overseas worldwide distribution
partnership with Phars Film (PHF), significantly strengthening its global
footprint for Malayalam cinema across key international markets. The deal kicks
off with the international release of the Rahman and Bhavana starrer, Anomie,
on 6th February, followed by Drishyam 3 (Malayalam)
on 2nd April, Tikitaka, and Panorama Studios Production No.
3.

 

Under the partnership, Drishyam 3—the
much-anticipated Malayalam film headlined by legendary Mohanlal—continues one
of Malayalam cinema’s most commercially successful and globally recognised
thriller franchises. Backed by a strong international track record and high
overseas brand recall, the collaboration strengthens global distribution,
enabling a wider international theatrical rollout and enhanced overseas
box-office potential across key markets.

 

Next in line is Tikitaka, featuring
Asif Ali in the lead, and the slate concludes with Panorama Studios
Production No. 3, starring Kunchacko Boban and Lijomol Jose, further
reinforcing Panorama Studios’ focus on strong, content-driven Malayalam cinema.

 

Under this collaboration, Phars Film, founded by
Ahmad Golchin, will be solely responsible for the overseas worldwide
distribution and exhibition of these Malayalam films across multiple
international territories. Leveraging its strong global distribution
capabilities and its extensive cinema network, PHF is a key player in the
international market, handling a critical mass of Hollywood, Bollywood, and
world cinema content.

 

Speaking on the association, Kumar Mangat
Pathak, Chairman, Panorama Studios, said, “International markets
are increasingly central to the success of Indian films. Phars Film’s global
distribution strength and market understanding make them a strong partner for
this slate, which reflects our focus on story-led, talent-driven cinema.”

 

Ahmad Golchin, Founder, Phars Film, added, “Panorama
Studios has consistently delivered high-quality, content-rich Indian cinema
that travels well internationally. We are excited to collaborate with them on
this diverse and powerful slate and ensure they reach audiences worldwide in a
meaningful and impactful way.”

 

Both companies see this collaboration as a
long-term step toward building a robust global pipeline for Indian films with
strong international appeal. ]]></description>

<title>Openhouse Is Redefining Early Learning in India Through a Simple Idea: Learn by Doing</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/openhouse-is-redefining-early-learning-in-india-through-a-simple-idea-learn-by-doing</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/openhouse-is-redefining-early-learning-in-india-through-a-simple-idea-learn-by-doing</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

 Education for
young children is crowded with buzzwords. Openhouse has ignored most of them
and focused on one principle that actually works: learning by doing.

Founded with the belief that children learn
best through active engagement, Openhouse has built its learning spaces,
curriculum, and teaching systems from the ground up to prioritize hands-on
experience. Every program, classroom, and activity is designed to move children
from passive consumption to active participation.

A Hands-On Approach, Built Intentionally

Openhouse does not retrofit traditional
teaching into modern spaces. The philosophy comes first, and everything else
follows. Curriculum design, room layouts, materials, and teacher training are
all aligned to encourage experimentation, problem-solving, and independent
thinking.

Children are encouraged to explore, make
mistakes, try again, and progress at their own pace. This approach builds
confidence early and keeps learning engaging rather than forced.

Extracurricular Programs for Ages 5–12

Openhouse operates a structured set of
extracurricular programs for children aged 5 to 12 across key learning areas:

·      
Music

·      
Public
Speaking

·      
Robotics

·      
Chess

·      
Art
&amp; Design

Each program is built around practical
application rather than theory-heavy instruction. Students learn concepts by
using them. Progress is measured through a proprietary levelling system built
on games and challenges, not exams.

This system allows children to hit
milestones faster while staying motivated over longer periods. Engagement is
designed into the learning process, not added as an afterthought.

Preschool Programs Focused on Real-World
Learning

For younger children aged 9 months to 4
years, Openhouse operates preschool programs designed around life skills,
sensory development, and emotional comfort.

The preschool environment is multisensory
and intentionally structured. Spaces include:

·      
A
dedicated children’s library

·      
Art
rooms

·      
Nature
play areas

·      
Sandpits

·      
Water
play zones

·      
Soft
play areas

Children learn through movement, touch,
sound, and exploration in a safe, controlled environment. The goal is not early
academics, but foundational skills that support long-term learning.

To ensure smooth transitions, Openhouse
runs personalized settling-in programs for each child. Teachers work closely
with parents to understand individual needs, helping children feel secure and
comfortable from day one.

Quality at Scale, Without Compromise

Across all offerings, Openhouse (https://www.openhouse.study/) maintains small
batch sizes. This allows teachers to give focused attention and adapt
instruction based on each child’s progress.

All teachers are experienced and undergo
rigorous preparation through Openhouse’s own training academy. Teaching quality
is standardized without becoming impersonal.

Parents stay actively involved through
regular digital updates that provide visibility into their child’s progress.
Beyond classrooms, Openhouse also builds neighborhood-level parent communities
through curated events, creating connections that extend beyond the school day.

Strong Institutional Backing

Openhouse is backed by Accel, GSV, and Z47,
some of the most respected venture capital firms focused on education globally.
The founding team attended Stanford, bringing global exposure and disciplined
execution to early education in India.

Growing Presence Across Bengaluru and
Kolkata

Openhouse currently operates 10 centers in
Bengaluru, located in:

·      
Indiranagar

·      
Jayanagar

·      
JP
Nagar

·      
HSR
Layout

·      
Haralur

·      
HRBR
Layout

·      
Sadashivnagar

·      
Sahakarnagar

·      
Sarjapur
Road

·      
Whitefield

In Kolkata, Openhouse operates two centers
focused on extracurricular programs in:

·      
Salt
Lake

·      
Theatre
Road

Preschool programs are currently available
in Bengaluru locations.

Building the Future of Learning

Openhouse is not trying to add polish to
outdated systems. It is building a learning model aligned with how children
actually grow, think, and engage with the world.

By combining intentional space design,
hands-on curriculum, trained educators, and active parent involvement,
Openhouse is setting a new standard for early childhood and extracurricular
education in India.

For families looking for learning that
sticks, Openhouse keeps it simple: children learn best by doing.

Admissions are open for all Openhouse
programs and locations for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years. Visit https://www.openhouse.study/ for more
information.  ]]></description>

<title>Super Clone Watches: What They Are, Why Buyer Awareness Matters, and How to Evaluate Quality</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/super-clone-watches-what-they-are-why-buyer-awareness-matters-and-how-to-evaluate-quality</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/super-clone-watches-what-they-are-why-buyer-awareness-matters-and-how-to-evaluate-quality</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ If you’ve spent any time around watch communities online,
you’ve probably encountered the term super clone watches. At first
glance, it sounds like a marketing label — “super,” “clone” — and for a long
time it was just that: a buzzword applied to anything that looked halfway
decent in photos.

But over the past few years, the conversation has quietly
shifted. People who actually wear these watches every day aren’t talking about
price and photos anymore. They’re talking about feel, proportions, movement
behavior, materials that age gracefully, and how a watch wears after weeks or
months of use. In other words: they’re treating these pieces more like tools
and less like props.

This change in how buyers think has reshaped how the
category is discussed online, why certain topics keep cropping up in forums and
threads, and how expectations are being re-aligned with real-world experience.

What “Super Clone Watches” Means Today

The phrase super clone watch used to be tossed around
when a listing tried to look “premium.” But among experienced buyers, it now
generally refers to a particular tier of replica that:


 copies
     proportions more faithfully
     
     
     
 uses
     materials that hold up under extended wear
     
     
     
 integrates
     the movement in a way that doesn’t feel awkward
     
     
     
 doesn’t
     collapse under scrutiny once someone puts it on their wrist
     
     
     


That’s a subtle difference, but it makes everything harder
to evaluate. Because a photo can hide a lot, and a listing title can hide even
more.

One of the biggest shifts in this space is that photos no
longer carry the day. Instead, people care about how a watch feels over time
— and what details experienced owners point out after real use.

The Role of Educational Platforms in This Space

Because satisfaction depends so much on real-world behavior,
the sources people use for information matter more than ever.

In community discussions, some resources get mentioned
frequently not because they have the largest catalogs or the flashiest
photography, but because they try to explain the why behind differences
in execution — things like factory behavior, version history, common pitfalls,
movement integration, and material trade-offs.

For example, you’ll see references to sites like superluxuryreps.com when people
are trying to make sense of factory differences or understand what changed
between revisions. In those conversations, the mention usually isn’t “go there
and buy.” It’s more like “here’s context that helps me understand what to look
for.”

That’s exactly where education becomes a tool for better
decisions. It shifts the focus from what it looks like in photos to what
it actually does in real life.

Why Comfort and Wearability Matter Most

There’s this common pattern among buyers:


 They
     see a photo.
     
     
     
 They
     think, “That looks close enough.”
     
     
     
 They
     wear it for a few hours.
     
     
     
 Something
     feels… off.
     
     
     
 After
     a few weeks, they stop wearing it.
     
     
     


It’s usually small things that turn out to matter most:


 Bracelet
     articulation: Does it drape naturally, or is it stiff and clunky?
     
     
     
 Clasp
     feel: Smooth and secure, or sharp and tinny?
     
     
     
 Case
     balance: Does it sit comfortably, or feel top-heavy?
     
     
     
 Crown
     engagement: Smooth winding, or vague and gritty?
     
     
     


These aren’t details you notice in photos. They are details
you notice when your watch is on your wrist all day, every day.

And once you’ve noticed the difference between something
that feels solid and something that feels flimsy, you start seeing patterns
fairly quickly.

The Real Meaning Behind Version Labels

One of the confusing things for newcomers is version labels
like “V2” or “V3.” These aren’t official product generations like you’d find in
genuine watches. Instead, they’re usually shorthand that communities and
sellers use to point to revisions.

In some cases, a later version genuinely includes
refinements:


 minor
     adjustments to case shape or lug curvature
     
     
     
 dial
     spacing corrections
     
     
     
 bezel
     click feel improvements
     
     
     
 bracelet
     and clasp tweaks
     
     
     
 movement
     integration improvements
     
     
     


But version labels aren’t standardized. “V3” in one listing
might mean something completely different in another. That’s why many buyers
learned to ask not just what version it is, but what specifically
changed.

This is also where educational content becomes more valuable
than marketing copy. Context matters.

<media:keywords>Super Clone Watches, Buyer Awareness Matters, Evaluate Quality</media:keywords>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidvDVqpRtz7grqaruTgS9iBeThmZ5vx1mGVT9iz_LGeQutkvvZORBe_Yw10eEbvgk5UjuZlfQAKM7tY5ubsWzVKKwg_OB3kxv9qlBCPdEf8N1sDdXFJAhy6xX7c_EtUXd8YbbgMHP5z34l9sj1x51ZR3XAsuIzZKxdCYExULElq1TddQRopaGYqGlc-N25/s1376/Super%20Clone.jpg" imageanchor="1"></a></div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you’ve spent any time around watch communities online, you’ve probably encountered the term <b>super clone watches</b>. At first glance, it sounds like a marketing label — “super,” “clone” — and for a long time it was just that: a buzzword applied to anything that looked halfway decent in photos.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But over the past few years, the conversation has quietly shifted. People who actually wear these watches every day aren’t talking about price and photos anymore. They’re talking about feel, proportions, movement behavior, materials that age gracefully, and how a watch wears after weeks or months of use. In other words: they’re treating these pieces more like tools and less like props.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This change in how buyers think has reshaped how the category is discussed online, why certain topics keep cropping up in forums and threads, and how expectations are being re-aligned with real-world experience.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2>What “Super Clone Watches” Means Today</h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The phrase <b>super clone watch</b> used to be tossed around when a listing tried to look “premium.” But among experienced buyers, it now generally refers to a particular tier of replica that:</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">copies proportions more faithfully<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">uses materials that hold up under extended wear<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">integrates the movement in a way that doesn’t feel awkward<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">doesn’t collapse under scrutiny once someone puts it on their wrist<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">That’s a subtle difference, but it makes everything harder to evaluate. Because a photo can hide a lot, and a listing title can hide even more.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the biggest shifts in this space is that photos no longer carry the day. Instead, people care about <i>how a watch feels over time</i> — and what details experienced owners point out after real use.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2>The Role of Educational Platforms in This Space</h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because satisfaction depends so much on real-world behavior, the sources people use for information matter more than ever.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In community discussions, some resources get mentioned frequently not because they have the largest catalogs or the flashiest photography, but because they try to explain the <i>why</i> behind differences in execution — things like factory behavior, version history, common pitfalls, movement integration, and material trade-offs.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, you’ll see references to sites like <a href="https://superluxuryreps.com/"><b>superluxuryreps.com</b></a> when people are trying to make sense of factory differences or understand what changed between revisions. In those conversations, the mention usually isn’t “go there and buy.” It’s more like “here’s context that helps me understand what to look for.”</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That’s exactly where education becomes a tool for better decisions. It shifts the focus from <i>what it looks like in photos</i> to <i>what it actually does in real life.</i></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2>Why Comfort and Wearability Matter Most</h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There’s this common pattern among buyers:</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal">They see a photo.<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">They think, “That looks close enough.”<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">They wear it for a few hours.<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Something feels… off.<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">After a few weeks, they stop wearing it.<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s usually small things that turn out to matter most:</p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And once you’ve noticed the difference between something that feels solid and something that feels flimsy, you start seeing patterns fairly quickly.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>

<p></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">But version labels aren’t standardized. “V3” in one listing might mean something completely different in another. That’s why many buyers learned to ask not just <b>what version it is</b>, but <b>what specifically changed</b>.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is also where educational content becomes more valuable than marketing copy. Context matters.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2>Movement Behavior: More Than Just Specs</h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You’ll often see movement discussions reduce down to buzzwords or vague claims. But the real question isn’t how many beats per hour are on paper — it’s how the movement supports the watch’s overall design.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">People actually talk about things like:</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">how the crown feels when winding<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">whether the date changes cleanly<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">whether the hands set smoothly<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">whether the movement forces the case to be thicker than it ought to be<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">These are practical signals that show up during everyday use, not in controlled conditions or stock photography.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Experienced buyers tend to be skeptical of claims like “top clone movement” precisely because a movement that <i>runs</i> isn’t the same as a movement that <i>feels right</i>. And it’s only after spending some time with a watch that the difference becomes obvious.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2>Scams, Misrepresentation, and Why Clarity Matters</h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One thing a lot of promotional pages avoid talking about is the risk of misrepresentation.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Common problems people complain about include:</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">the same photos used for different quality tiers<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">generic “best edition” language with no context<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">shifting product names that make comparisons impossible<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">pressure tactics like “only today” or “final stock”<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">refusal to answer basic questions about revisions or quality control<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">If a listing or seller can’t explain what they’re actually offering, that’s not a small detail — it’s a big red flag. And that’s not just my opinion. It’s what people across forums and long comment threads seem to circle back to again and again.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That’s also why educational, explanatory content — even if it’s long and a bit repetitive — tends to be more valued in serious discussions than slick sales copy.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2>The Market Has Evolved — And That’s a Good Thing</h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you go back five years, the super clone space was much louder and much less discerning. Now the conversation is quieter, more nuanced, and more grounded in real experience.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What that means is:</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">fewer people are fooled by glossy photos<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">longer discussions focus on real use, not hype<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">version history and factory behavior are part of the vocabulary<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">buyers judge watches more like tools than trophies<br><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]-->
<p></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">That doesn’t make the market perfect. Far from it. There’s still a lot of noise and inconsistency. But it does mean that <i>informed buyers are better equipped than ever to make decisions that match their own priorities</i>.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Super clone watches</b> aren’t defined by marketing labels. They’re defined by how they feel, how they wear, and how they perform over time.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For buyers willing to think beyond photos and hype — and willing to ask deeper questions about movement behavior, materials, factory revisions, and wearability — the experience can be far more satisfying.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And that’s where educational, explanatory resources matter. Not because they have the slickest pictures or the largest catalogs, but because they help people understand what actually makes a difference in real use.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That’s the kind of clarity that helps someone decide what matters to them, rather than just repeating a buzzword and hoping it sticks.</p>

“Collaboration and Partnership for SDGs is essential. The need is for
universities to collaborate with other sectors, including industry, government,
and NGOs, to advance SDGs. The importance of making sustainability
a priority from the beginning will  define the future agenda of any
institution. This discussion on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in
universities highlights the critical role of higher education in preparing
future leaders, conducting impactful research, and fostering global
collaboration. There is a need for interdisciplinary and collaborative
research, embedding sustainability in curricula, and the necessity of
universities to be neutral and evidence-based in their contributions.”

 

Professor Marvin Krislov, President, Pace
University, New York, USA shared the importance of interdisciplinary
and collaborative research, mentioning the New York Climate Exchange and the
need for global partnerships to execute SDGs effectively. He also underlined

(STAR) initiative, which focuses on university-wide teaching and research in
collaboration with the United Nations. He further discussed the importance of
preparing students for a sustainable and regenerative society, emphasizing the
need for education and research that goes beyond traditional academic
publishing.

 

Dr. Ashwin Fernandes, Executive Director, QS
Quacquarelli Symonds, London, UK spoke about the importance of
sustainability rankings and the need for universities to track and report their
sustainability metrics. He highlighted the role of interdisciplinary research

<title>Airbrush Moves Beyond Mobile With a Desktop Editor</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/airbrush-moves-beyond-mobile-with-a-desktop-editor</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For years, smartphone photography has
been shaped as much by editing apps as by camera hardware. Airbrush, a
long-running portrait retouching app, built its early following on quick,
mobile-first beautification, think skin refinement, blemish cleanup, teeth
brightening, face reshaping, presets, and simple background edits, designed for
users who want social-ready results with minimal effort.

Airbrush launched as a mobile photo-editing
app in 2015, riding the global shift toward “camera-to-share” workflows where a
photo is expected to be polished before it’s posted. Over time, its toolkit
moved beyond basic portrait retouching into a broader, more AI-assisted editing
set. That includes utility-style features such as AI Eraser (removing
unwanted people or objects), background removal and replacement, and AI
Expand that extends the photo’s edges to create a wider frame. It also
leans into lifestyle and creator-friendly effects like digital makeup, body
reshaping, and, in some versions of the category, virtual try-on
experiences that let users preview different looks. More recently, the value
proposition has expanded further into “quality fixes” like image enhancement
and even video enhancement, reflecting how photo apps are trying to
cover more of the content pipeline.

That evolution has accelerated as the
company behind Airbrush has pushed beyond mobile. In 2025, Pixocial Technology
announced Airbrush Studio, a desktop portrait editing application for Windows
and macOS. The move signals an ambition to serve heavier workflows, creators
who want more screen space, smoother precision work, batch-friendly output, or
a more “workstation-like” experience, without fully adopting the complexity of
professional suites.

Pixocial is described in public
disclosures as an overseas-focused unit within the Meitu group, with a product
lineup that includes BeautyPlus and Airbrush. In 2023, Pixocial reported
completing a US$22 million Series A round that brought in external investors,
including Eight Roads, with the stated goal of supporting global operations and
product development.

The strategy reflects a wider pattern in
consumer creative software: apps that began as phone-based utilities are now
becoming cross-platform “editing stacks.” Airbrush’s ecosystem spans mobile
apps, web tools, and now desktop software, typically offered through a freemium
model where subscriptions or in-app purchases unlock premium tools,
higher-quality exports, and more advanced AI features.

What “AI editing” looks like in practice

In apps like Airbrush, “AI” usually means
the software can identify faces, segment people from backgrounds, and apply
multi-step improvements automatically. For users, that translates into fewer
decisions and faster results: an edit that might once have required careful
masking, manual retouching, and several adjustments can now be approximated
with a couple of taps. That speed, especially on portraits, product shots, and
social content, is a big reason why these apps remain popular with casual users
and creators who prioritize output over technique.

Reception and the trade-offs

Airbrush is commonly described as easy to
use and fast, strengths that fit its core audience. The trade-off is control.
Automation can be limiting for users who want exact masking boundaries, precise
color grading, or layer-based workflows. And as with most AI-driven editors,
results can vary depending on the input: tricky hair edges, transparent objects,
complex lighting, motion blur, or crowded backgrounds can expose the limits of
one-tap editing. User feedback tends to reflect that split,convenience and
speed on one side, and debates over realism, consistency, and creative control
on the other.

The bigger debate: beautification and realism

Portrait retouching apps also sit inside
a wider cultural argument about beauty standards and authenticity. As
enhancements become more realistic and harder to detect, concerns grow about
idealised images, social pressure, and the psychological effects of constant
self-optimization. This isn’t unique to Airbrush, it’s a category-wide issue,
but it shapes how these tools are discussed and how users evaluate them,
especially when “beauty” features blend into everyday photography rather than
being treated as obvious effects.

Where it stands now

Airbrush’s push toward desktop tools
signals how quickly consumer photo editing is evolving. The next phase may
depend less on adding another preset and more on balancing three competing
demands: speed, user control, and trust. That includes
clearer expectations about how edits are generated, how consistent they are
across platforms, and how user images and data are handled when tools span
mobile, web, and desktop.

<title>HortiConnect India Expo 2026 returns to Bengaluru with Messe Muenchen India onboard</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru : The 2026 edition of HortiConnect India Expo, scheduled from
October 1 to 3 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), will
see an expanded focus as it begins to engage more directly with India’s wider
agriculture sector. The trade fair will be co-hosted by Messe Muenchen India in
partnership with Bengaluru-based HortiConnect Global Pvt. Ltd.

 

Originally positioned as an
international-standard trade fair centred on horticulture, the organisers said
the broader scope reflects increasing convergence across crop segments. Technologies
first adopted in horticulture, such as protected cultivation systems, precision
irrigation, climate-resilient inputs, and post-harvest infrastructure, are now
being deployed across field crops and mixed farming systems.

 

Horticulture will continue to anchor the
exhibition, with coverage across greenhouse technologies, seed and planting
material, irrigation solutions, bio-inputs, and post-harvest management. The
additional agriculture lens is intended to draw participation from players
whose products and services serve multiple crop categories, particularly in
water management, mechanisation for high-value crops, and supply chain
integration.

 

India’s horticulture sector has gained policy
prominence in recent years, driven by rising domestic demand, export growth,
and the need to improve farm incomes. At the same time, pressure on land and
water resources has pushed farmers towards intensive production models, many of
which originated in horticulture but are now influencing broader agricultural
practices.

 

“This platform was created to respond to how the
sector is evolving,” said S.K. Gutgutia, Chairman, Florance Flora, and a
member of HortiConnect Global. “Advanced technologies first adopted in
horticulture are now influencing broader agricultural practices, and the
exhibition reflects that shift.”

 

Bhupinder Singh, President – IMEA (India, Middle East, Africa), Messe München and CEO,
Messe Muenchen India, said the partnership aligns global exhibition standards
with regional sector strengths. “Karnataka and larger South India have
developed into key centres for horticulture-driven enterprise, particularly in
floriculture, precision farming, and export-oriented production. HortiConnect
provides a focused business platform anchored in these strengths.”

 

The 2026 edition will focus on key growth areas
such as protected cultivation, smart irrigation, climate-resilient crop
inputs, and post-harvest management—areas that are critical for both
domestic supply chains and agri-export ambitions.

 

What to Expect at HortiConnect India
2026

Unlike broader agri expos, HortiConnect India
maintains a sharp focus on the horticulture segment—covering the entire value
chain from input to market. The 2026 edition will feature:

●     
Live technology
zones with working demos and product launches

●     
A dedicated
visitor connect app to enable
seamless B2B meetings and lead generation

●     
International
brand participation across
irrigation systems, seed tech, substrates, greenhouse automation, and
sustainable solutions

●     
Curated
networking zones, digital badges, and
premium amenities for exhibitors and business visitors

 

Organisers say the event also aims to foster stronger
policy-industry collaboration, especially in the context of India’s push
for FPO-led market development, horticulture exports, and climate-smart
agriculture.

 

In addition to technology showcases and product
demonstrations, the organisers expect participation from grower clusters,
farmer-producer companies, exporters, and agri-input firms across the country.
Policy and market-linked discussions around FPO-led supply chains and
climate-smart agriculture are also likely to feature.

 

The 2026 edition will also see the co-location
of the first edition of AgriCon India, a new platform positioned to address
cross-cutting challenges in the agriculture sector. AgriCon India is intended
to bring together stakeholders from technology, policy, finance, academia, and
farmer networks, with a focus on bridging gaps between innovation and on-ground
adoption.

 

With agriculture facing structural pressures
related to productivity, resource efficiency, and market access, platforms that
integrate technology, capital, and policy dialogue are increasingly seen as
part of the sector’s transition. The co-location of AgriCon India alongside
HortiConnect India reflects an attempt to address these broader agricultural
challenges while retaining horticulture as the exhibition’s specialist anchor.

If there is one thing the MAXI Fair
does unfailingly well, it is reminding Jamshedpur how to pause, how to gather,
and how to celebrate. On 17th January, the XLRI Football Ground once again
transformed into a vibrant commons as the 46th edition of the MAXI Fair,
organised by the Marketing Association of XLRI (MAXI), opened its gates to the
city. By afternoon, the grounds pulsed with laughter, music, and the
unmistakable hum of a community coming alive.

Day one unfolded like a carefully
curated tapestry of talent and togetherness. At MasterChef, aspiring cooks
served more than just food. From inventive besan momos to a whimsical bird’s
nest crafted with besan, shimla mirch, paneer, and aloo dough, creativity was
as much on display as culinary skill. Just a few steps away, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa
drew music lovers across generations, as melodies drifted through the air,
holding audiences in hushed attention before giving way to thunderous applause.

Some of the most heartwarming moments
belonged to the Fancy Dress Competition. Children, dressed as everything from
Coca-Cola bottles and Blinkit bags to iconic figures like Jhansi Ki Rani, took
over the stage with fearless confidence. The cheers of proud parents often
rivalled the applause itself. The excitement carried seamlessly into the
Fashion Show - Mr &amp; Mrs Jamshedpur, where participants walked the
ramp with elegance, poise, and unmistakable personality. Each contestant also
revealed a special talent, singing, dancing, and more, transforming the
showcase into a celebration of individuality as much as style.

As always, the food stalls formed the
fair’s steady heartbeat. From quick bites to indulgent treats, they kept
visitors fuelled through the day, while the Mela Zone proved irresistible,
drawing in children and more than a few adults with its rides, games, and
prizes that promised delight at every turn.

As evening fell, anticipation surged.
When Bollywood singer Neeraj Shridhar took the stage, a wave of nostalgia swept
across the grounds. Familiar tunes became collective sing-alongs, and for a few
fleeting moments, strangers turned into a choir, bound together by music and
memory. And with that, Day 1 of the 46th MAXI Fair drew to a close: vibrant,
joyous, and leaving behind the comforting sense that this was only the beginning.

46th MAXI Fair – Day 2 (18th January)

The day began on an artistic note with
Art Attack, where young participants arrived clutching crayons, paints,
and boundless imagination. The little ones painted their dreams onto paper,
evoking a sense of nostalgia—of carefree afternoons spent sprawled on the
ground, the sun overhead, and a handful of crayons in hand. Soon, the grounds
became a living canvas, filled with vibrant sketches and bold splashes of
colour that reflected the children’s limitless creativity. Proud parents looked
on, cheering and capturing moments as their young artists brought ideas to
life.

As the sun climbed higher, the
atmosphere shifted gears with Dance Mania. The stage came alive with
electrifying solo and group performances spanning western, classical, and
fusion styles. Each routine carried its own emotion and flair, keeping the
audience riveted and earning thunderous applause that echoed across the
grounds.

Adding a playful twist to the day was Bollywood
Trivia, which had movie buffs on their toes. From iconic dialogues to
unforgettable songs, participants battled it out with quick wit and infectious
enthusiasm. Laughter, spirited banter, and friendly rivalry filled the air,
making it one of the most engaging events of the day. Spontaneous dance breaks
to Bollywood numbers only added to the charm, giving the evening the warmth and
joy of a family gathering.

Much like the opening day, the aroma
of delicious food continued to draw hungry fair-goers to the stalls, while the
Mela Zone remained a favourite haunt for families and children, offering games,
prizes, and moments of carefree fun.

The fair reached its grand finale on a
soulful note as Bollywood singer Mohit Chauhan took to the stage in the
evening. Sharing his personal connection to Jamshedpur, he spoke fondly of his
friendship with filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, who was present at the event with his
family. As Mohit Chauhan’s heartfelt melodies and soothing voice filled the
air, a magical hush settled over the crowd, one t ]]></description>

<title>Capt. Anuj and the Architecture of Disciplined Entrepreneurship</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/capt-anuj-and-the-architecture-of-disciplined-entrepreneurship</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/capt-anuj-and-the-architecture-of-disciplined-entrepreneurship</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a startup ecosystem often driven by speed
over structure, Capt. Anuj represents a different kind of entrepreneur.
His journey is not defined by sudden pivots or overnight success, but by
methodical execution shaped by years of discipline, risk management, and
operational leadership. With nearly two decades of combined professional and
entrepreneurial experience, his career spans maritime operations, healthcare
platforms, technology services, financial consulting, and the evolving digital
gaming economy.

 

What distinguishes Capt. Anuj is not
just the diversity of sectors he has worked in, but the consistency with which
he has built, scaled, and monetized businesses across borders.

 

From Oceans
to Operations

Capt. Anuj began his professional life
in the Merchant Navy, serving in progressive operational and leadership roles
between 2007 and 2020. Working with global maritime organizations such as
Kuwait Oil Tanker Company and the National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia, he
operated in environments where precision, accountability, and real-time
decision-making were non-negotiable.

 

These years at sea shaped his leadership
philosophy. Managing risk under pressure, executing complex operations, and
leading multicultural teams became second nature. This foundation would later
influence how he approached entrepreneurship, particularly in regulated
industries where failure is not an option.

 

Entering
Entrepreneurship Through Healthcare

In 2015, Capt. Anuj transitioned from
maritime operations to entrepreneurship by founding DrHelpDesk, a digital
healthcare platform that was ahead of its time. The company offered online
doctor consultations, lab test bookings, home healthcare services, and online
pharmacy access through strategic partnerships.

 

Under his leadership, the platform scaled
across 23 cities in India and raised approximately USD 1.2 million. In 2019,
the venture achieved a successful exit through a technology acquisition by
Malaysian investors, reinforcing his ability to build investor-ready, scalable
platforms.

 

A subsequent retail healthcare expansion
further demonstrated his understanding of hybrid digital and offline models.

 

Building
Consumer Platforms With Precision

Following the healthcare exit,
Capt. Anuj launched PetCare.in in 2019, an end-to-end pet care platform
covering veterinary services, grooming, home visits, and pet e-commerce. The
venture raised close to USD 0.3 million and addressed a fragmented but
fast-growing consumer segment with a structured, service-driven model.

 

Across both ventures, a clear pattern
emerged. Capt. Anuj focused on solving operational inefficiencies,
building scalable systems, and aligning early with capital and exit strategy.

 

Becoming a
Strategic Financial Advisor

Beyond founding companies, Capt. Anuj
evolved into a trusted financial consultant for startups and growth-stage
businesses. Through One Path Consulting, he has advised more than 80 companies,
participated in over 1,000 investor meetings, and helped raise approximately
USD 10 million across ventures.

 

His work includes successfully closing USD
0.5 million for Grener Holdings in Morocco and leading advanced fundraising
discussions for a publicly listed Canadian company in the critical foundation
metals sector. His expertise spans capital structuring, fundraising strategy, investor
relations, and cross-border operations.

 

A
Calculated Entry Into Technology and Digital Gaming

Today, Capt. Anuj is focused on
technology-driven businesses, including platforms aligned with the rapidly
expanding digital gaming industry. His approach treats digital gaming not just
as entertainment, but as a complex digital economy requiring secure
infrastructure, regulatory awareness, and scalable architecture.

 

This philosophy is reflected in Zeliee.com, a
global IT and digital solutions company operating across Morocco, Hungary,
India, and Singapore. While the brand continues to grow independently,
Capt. Anuj’s role is anchored in strategic direction, global expansion, and
ecosystem building.

 

Leadership
Beyond Hype

Unlike many founders who chase visibility,
Capt. Anuj is known for staying execution-focused. His background has
trained him to prioritize systems over shortcuts and sustainability over hype.
Whether navigating oceans or global markets, his decisions reflect discipline,
patience, and long-term thinking.

 

As industries like technology, finance, and
digital gaming continue to converge, Capt. Anuj’s journey stands as a case
study in how structured leadership and operational depth can create enduring
impact.

announced the official launch of the full version of its Web and Mobile App,
marking a major milestone in its mission to build a transparent,
technology-driven, and customer-centric ecosystem for pre-owned car buyers and
sellers in India.

 

Launched
on January 22, 2026, the Carosa platform is designed to simplify the
complete pre-owned car ownership journey by integrating buying and selling
of pre-owned cars, inspections and evaluations, financing, insurance,
verification services, and post-purchase support into one seamless digital
experience.

 

Pre-Launch
Traction Demonstrates Strong Market Validation

Prior
to its official launch, Carosa operated in a pre-launch phase and
demonstrated strong early traction. The platform onboarded 100+ verified
dealers, featured 1,000+ active pre-owned car listings, and recorded
5,000+ monthly website visitors, with steady month-on-month growth.

 

During
this period, pre-owned cars worth ₹85 crore+ in total listed GMV were
listed on the platform, reflecting growing confidence and trust from both
dealers and buyers.

 

MotoRepo:
Independent In-House Inspection and PDI Platform

A
core component of the Carosa platform is MotoRepo, the company’s independently
developed, in-house pre-owned car inspection and evaluation application.
MotoRepo powers standardized vehicle inspections, detailed condition
reports, car evaluations, and Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDI), ensuring
unbiased, transparent, and data-driven assessments across all pre-owned car
transactions on the platform.

 

By
owning and operating its inspection technology, Carosa ensures consistency,
credibility, and quality control across inspection outcomes.

 

Carosa
Care: Integrated Ownership &amp; Post-Purchase Services

Carosa
Care
is an integrated service layer within the Carosa platform, designed to
support customers throughout the pre-owned car ownership lifecycle. The
offering includes pre-owned car insurance, extended warranties, roadside
assistance, vehicle verification, RTO-related services, and essential car care
utilities, providing continued support well beyond the point of purchase.

 

Gaadi
ki Gup-Shup: Automobile-Centric Content Within the Platform

Gaadi
ki Gup-Shup is Carosa’s automobile-centric
content and creator ecosystem, built as an integral part of the Carosa platform.
It focuses on pre-owned car information, expert and user-led reviews,
explainers, ownership insights, and market intelligence, helping consumers
make informed and confident decisions before purchasing a pre-owned car.

 

Leadership
Commentary

Commenting
on the launch, Akram Ali, Co-Founder of Carosa, said,

“Carosa
was built to eliminate opacity and mistrust in pre-owned car transactions. By
integrating MotoRepo for independent inspections, Carosa Care for complete
ownership support, and Gaadi ki Gup-Shup for consumer education directly into
the platform, we are creating a truly end-to-end pre-owned automobile
ecosystem. The strong response during our pre-launch phase validates our
approach and vision.”

 

Growth
Outlook

Following
the launch on January 22, 2026, Carosa expects to achieve a 2× increase
across all key performance metrics every month, including dealer
onboarding, active listings, platform traffic, and GMV in the pre-owned car
segment, as it accelerates nationwide expansion.

 

With
a strong focus on technology, transparency, and trust, Carosa aims to redefine
how pre-owned cars are bought, sold, and owned in India.

<title>The Truth About Dental Treatment in Health Insurance Policies: What Gets Covered and What Doesn&amp;apos;t</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-truth-about-dental-treatment-in-health-insurance-policies-what-gets-covered-and-what-doesnt</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ When we think about
health insurance, we often associate it with coverage for hospital stays,
surgeries, and major illnesses. Dental treatments, however, tend to sit in a
grey area of health insurance policies. Despite the undeniable importance of
oral health, many people are unsure about what dental procedures, if any, are
covered by their health insurance policy. In
this article, we explore the truth about dental treatment coverage, addressing
what gets covered, what doesn’t, and how you can make the most of your health
insurance benefits.

The Importance of Dental Health

Before diving into the
specifics of insurance coverage, it’s essential to understand why dental health
matters. Poor oral hygiene can lead to a host of health problems, from gum
disease and tooth loss to more severe conditions like heart disease and
diabetes. Despite this, dental treatments are often excluded or only partially
covered in many health insurance policies.

What Dental Treatments Are Typically Covered?

In most cases, dental
coverage in health insurance policies is limited. However, there are certain
scenarios where your policy might offer some financial relief:


 Emergency Dental Treatments:
     If you sustain a dental injury due to an accident, many health insurance
     policies will cover the cost of treatment. This can include procedures
     such as tooth extraction, repairs, or even surgery.
 Preventive Care: Some comprehensive
     health insurance policies include routine dental check-ups, cleanings, and
     X-rays under their outpatient benefits. These preventive measures are
     crucial for maintaining oral health and catching potential issues early.
 Surgical Procedures: Dental surgeries
     that are deemed medically necessary, such as those related to jaw injuries
     or oral cancers, are often covered under a standard health insurance
     policy.
 OPD Benefits:
     Policies that include outpatient department (OPD) benefits may cover minor
     dental treatments, such as fillings for cavities, as part of their
     offering.




What Isn’t Covered?

While some treatments
are included, many dental procedures fall outside the scope of traditional
health insurance policies. These exclusions often include:


 Cosmetic Procedures: Treatments like
     teeth whitening, veneers, and cosmetic braces are generally not covered,
     as they are considered non-essential or elective.
 Orthodontic Treatments: Braces and
     aligners for correcting teeth alignment are usually excluded unless deemed
     medically necessary, such as in cases of severe jaw misalignment.
 Regular Treatments: Routine procedures
     like scaling, polishing, and minor fillings may not be covered unless your
     policy specifically includes OPD benefits.
 Pre-Existing Conditions: Dental issues that existed before the purchase of the health
     insurance policy are often excluded, unless explicitly stated otherwise.


Why Isn’t Dental Care a Standard Feature?

The exclusion of dental
treatments from most health insurance policies boils down to cost and
frequency. Dental care can be expensive, and people tend to visit dentists more
regularly than they visit hospitals. Including comprehensive dental coverage
would significantly increase premiums, making policies less affordable for the
average consumer.

Additionally, many
dental treatments are elective or cosmetic in nature, making it difficult for
insurers to justify their inclusion under a health insurance policy.

How to Find the Best Health Insurance Policy in India for Dental
Coverage

If dental care is a
priority for you, there are ways to ensure your insurance policy meets your
needs. Here’s what to look for:


 Comprehensive Plans with OPD Benefits: Policies
     that include outpatient department coverage often provide some level of
     dental care. These plans are ideal for individuals who prioritise
     preventive and routine treatments.
 Customisable Add-Ons: Some of the best
     health insurance policies in India offer optional add-ons for dental care.
     While these may increase your premium, they can provide peace of mind and
     financial relief for dental expenses.
 Accident Coverage: If your primary
     concern is emergency dental care following an accident, look for policies
     that explicitly mention this in their coverage details.
 Network Clinics: Many insurers partner with specific
     dental clinics, offering cashless treatments or discounts. Choosing a
     policy from a provider with a robust network can make dental care more accessible.
 Reputation of the Insurer: Providers like Niva Bupa are known for their innovative
     offerings and customer-centric approach. Opting for a policy from a
     trusted name ensures transparency and reliability.


The Role of Health Insurance Companies

The best health
insurance policy in India is one that adapt ]]></description>

<title>Spydra Launches &amp;apos;Wallet&amp;less Onboarding&amp;apos; With Custodial Wallets for Token Investors on Public Chains</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/spydra-launches-wallet-less-onboarding-with-custodial-wallets-for-token-investors-on-public-chains</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/spydra-launches-wallet-less-onboarding-with-custodial-wallets-for-token-investors-on-public-chains</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, India — January 27, 2026 :  Spydra, a low-code asset tokenization platform, today announced
the release of its new Custodial Wallet for Investors capability for
public-chain token stores—designed to remove one of the biggest adoption
hurdles in tokenized investing: the requirement that every investor must first
become a “crypto power user.”

For many first-time investors, the path to buying tokens still
involves installing browser wallets, managing seed phrases, understanding
network fees, and handling irreversible transactions—steps that are unfamiliar
to mainstream users and can result in permanent loss if credentials are
misplaced. Industry research highlights how common account lockouts and
security incidents can be when users must manage keys and recovery
themselves. 

Spydra’s new custodial wallet feature is built to make tokenized
investing feel closer to familiar Web2 experiences—investors can sign up and
invest with email/password flows, while issuers retain the ability to meet
compliance requirements such as KYC, and the platform orchestrates wallet
creation and key management securely behind the scenes. 

The problem: Web3 onboarding is still too hard for mainstream
investors

Even as tokenized assets and on-chain marketplaces mature, the
“last mile” user experience remains a bottleneck. A widely discussed barrier is
seed phrase management—users are expected to secure and recover assets with
cryptographic secrets that have no “forgot password” equivalent. User studies
and reporting continue to show conceptual misunderstandings, unsafe practices,
and lockouts tied to recovery phrases and key handling. 

Kaspersky’s “Crypto Threats 2023” research found that 32% of
respondents who own or have owned crypto said they lost access to a
crypto-related account, highlighting the real-world impact of complex access
and recovery models. Reuters has also reported a surge in wallet recovery
requests as users get locked out due to forgotten passwords, lost devices,
missing 2FA, or misplaced seed phrases. 

Spydra’s solution: Custodial Wallets for Investors (“Wallet-less
Onboarding”)

Spydra’s Custodial Wallet for Investors is the cornerstone of its
“wallet-less onboarding” strategy for token stores on public chains. The
feature enables issuers and marketplace operators to offer a frictionless
investment experience for non-technical users, letting them buy and manage
assets using only an email and password. 

From the investor’s point of view, the wallet is “invisible”:

•     
Fiat purchase first: Investor
selects an asset and pays using familiar methods (e.g., card payments via
Stripe).

•     
Instant wallet provisioning: On
the first successful transaction, the system automatically creates a custodial
wallet linked to the investor’s account. 

•     
Direct asset delivery: Tokens are
transferred into the newly created custodial address. 

•     
Simple portfolio view: Investors
see holdings, value, and transaction history through a simplified dashboard
rather than raw on-chain tooling. 

Security and compliance foundations

Spydra’s custodial wallet infrastructure is designed around three
principles: event-driven creation, compliance gating, and managed recovery.

•     
Event-driven wallet creation:
Wallet provisioning is triggered specifically by the investor’s first
transaction. 

•     
KYC/identity verification checks:
The system confirms the user has completed required KYC for the token store
before proceeding. 

•     
Private key management in a secure
environment: Spydra generates and stores private keys within secure
infrastructure so keys do not leave the protected environment—reducing the
chance of investors losing access due to mishandled seed phrases. 

•     
Account recovery like Web2:
Because keys are managed by the platform, investor recovery can follow standard
email-based flows when passwords are forgotten. 

•     
ERC-3643 alignment: Custodial
wallets integrate with ERC-3643-style compliance, with each wallet bound to the
investor’s digital identity (ONCHAINID).

Executive quote:

“Tokenization will only scale when the experience is as simple as
any mainstream financial app,” said Manish Tewari, Co-founder of Spydra. “Our
custodial wallet feature removes the biggest friction points—wallet installs,
seed phrases, and confusing on-chain steps—so issuers can onboard everyday
investors with familiar login and payment flows, while still enforcing identity
and compliance requirements.”

Availability

The Custodial Wallet for Investors feature is available for Spydra
Token Stores on public chains as part of Spydra’s public-chain offering and
documentation.

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, India,
January 27, 2026 : The United Alliances and Pinnacle Alliances are two
international alliance service providers that are enhancing their operations in
the global markets by providing specialized operational, revenue and workforce
solutions in the global insurance, healthcare and professional services
business. The organizations collectively respond to increasing efficiency and
scalability demands in the constantly growing more digital and
compliance-driven business environment.

The two companies with
complementary experience in Insurance Virtual Assistance, Revenue Cycle Management,
Healthcare Recruiting and Payroll Services
also have the potential to serve the needs of organizations that need enhanced
operations but do not have to worry about hiring additional staff.

Adapting
to Changing Business and Healthcare Problems.

In
industries, organizations are experiencing an increase in the administrative
burden, shortage of talent, and strain to balance the quality of service
provision and manage costs. The combined service offering by United Alliances
and Pinnacle Alliances has been placed to enable the business to overcome such
challenges by providing talented remote professionals and organized workforce
solutions that meet the needs of the clients.

As the partnership
indicates, the wider trend towards integrated service models involve
operational support, revenue management and talent acquisition as interrelated
solutions. In solving back-office functions as well as workforce needs, the
companies allow the clients to concentrate on growth, service delivery, and
long-term strategy.

Insurance
Virtual Assistance and Support Operations.

United Alliances deals
with Insurance Virtual Assistance services that are used to assist insurance
agencies, brokers and service providers. Such services are policy servicing,
endorsements, renewals, documentation management, claims support, and customer
coordination. Trained virtual assistants are the extension of client teams that
help to handle the high-volume administrative tasks in accuracy and efficiency.

With the need to adapt
to increasing customer demands and regulatory measures, virtual assistance is
an essential strategy of operation in the insurance companies. The strategy of
United Alliances focuses on alignment of processes and consistency, i.e., to
make sure that distant professionals become a part of the current working
process and do not affect the service quality.

In addition to
insurance, United Alliances offers virtual accounting services and
administrative services to professional service firms as well and helps
organizations to enhance turnaround time, as well as minimize strain on
operations.

Healthcare
Provider Revenue Cycle Management.

The Revenue Cycle
Management services offered by United Alliances are a solution to major
financial issues in healthcare providers. The company has end-to-end solutions,
with patient data handling and billing support, claims follow-ups, optimization
of revenue, to enhance the visibility of cash flow, and minimize administrative
complexity.

Healthcare
organizations are usually faced with sluggish reimbursements and inadequate
billing procedures. The RCM model of United Alliances assists in streamlining
these processes and helps the providers concentrate on patient care and stay
afloat financially. The service model will serve the needs of clinics,
practices, and healthcare organizations in the domestic and international
market.

The addition of
industry capabilities to well-organized procedures helps United Alliances
assist healthcare providers to handle their revenue operations efficiently in a
highly regulated environment.

Healthcare
Recruiting and Workforce Solutions.

Pinnacle Alliances
supplements such offerings with its special healthcare recruiting and payroll
services. The company aims to match qualified medical practitioners with
hospitals, clinics and medical institutions in need of quality staffing
service. The recruitment services also fall within a spectrum of clinical and
non-clinical positions, assisting organizations to recruit critical positions
effectively.

The problem of
workforce shortages in healthcare is still a major issue in the healthcare
sector of the world. Pinnacle Alliances deals with this by ensuring that it has
a robust talent network and uses specific methods of recruiting the candidates
with the needs of the employer. Its track record in the field of staffing in
healthcare allows it to hire its personnel more rapidly and have a better rate
of personnel continuity.

Besides recruitment,
Pinnacle Alliances also offers payroll services specific to healthcare
settings. These services streamline the processing involved in the payment of
the pay, documentation, and administrative coordination, especially in the
areas of contract and shift-based employment frameworks  ]]></description>

<title>Best Health Insurance Plans for Individuals Above 50: What to Consider</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/best-health-insurance-plans-for-individuals-above-50-what-to-consider</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/best-health-insurance-plans-for-individuals-above-50-what-to-consider</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As we grow older, our
health needs tend to increase, making it crucial to have the right health
insurance plan in place. For individuals above the age of 50, selecting a
suitable policy can be a key decision that ensures peace of mind and adequate
financial coverage during medical emergencies. 

In this article, we
will shed light on the essential factors to consider while choosing a health
insurance plan tailored for those in this age group.

Why Health Insurance Is Important After 50

After the age of 50, the
likelihood of chronic conditions and age-related illnesses increases. Regular
check-ups, diagnostic tests, and treatment for various conditions can lead to
higher medical expenses. A robust health insurance plan helps cover these
costs, ensuring that individuals have access to quality healthcare without
worrying about expenses.

Moreover, with
healthcare costs on the rise, having a policy that provides coverage for
hospitalisation, day-care procedures, and even preventive health check-ups
becomes invaluable. A well-chosen plan offers access to specialised treatments
and ensures that health concerns are addressed promptly.



Key Features to Look For in a Good Insurance Policy

When evaluating best health insurance for senior citizens,
you should prioritise the following features:


 Adequate Coverage Amount:
     Opt for a policy with a sum insured that reflects your potential medical
     needs. Considering the rising cost of healthcare, a higher sum insured is
     advisable to cover both minor and major medical treatments.
 Pre-Existing Conditions: Many individuals
     in this age group may already have health conditions like diabetes,
     hypertension, or arthritis. Ensure the policy provides coverage for these
     pre-existing conditions after a waiting period, and check the specifics of
     that waiting period.
 Hospitalisation and Day-Care Treatments:
     Confirm that the plan covers in-patient hospitalisation, including room
     rent, ICU charges, and surgeries. Additionally, many modern treatments do
     not require long hospital stays. Look for coverage for day-care procedures
     as well.
 Cashless Hospital Network:
     A policy with a wide network of hospitals offering cashless treatment is
     highly beneficial. This feature simplifies the process during emergencies
     by eliminating the need to pay upfront and file reimbursement claims
     later.
 Regular Health Check-Ups:
     Preventive care is vital after 50. Many insurers provide annual health
     check-ups as part of the policy, allowing individuals to monitor their
     health proactively.
 Lifetime Renewability: Ensure the
     policy offers lifetime renewability so you can continue your coverage
     without age restrictions.
 Add-Ons and Riders: Consider optional benefits like critical illness cover,
     personal accident cover, or even OPD (outpatient department) expenses to
     enhance your coverage.


Evaluating Premiums

Premiums for best
family health insurance tend to rise with age. However, the cost of the premium
should be balanced against the benefits provided. When comparing policies, look
for value rather than just the lowest price. Opting for a policy with slightly
higher premiums but comprehensive coverage might be a better decision in the
long run.

It’s also worth noting
that some insurers offer discounts for couples or family floater plans, which
can be advantageous for married individuals or those looking to cover their
spouse as well.

How to Choose the Right Plan

Selecting the right
health insurance requires research and self-assessment. Follow this
step-by-step guide to simplify your decision-making process: 


 Assess Your Health Needs:
     Reflect on your current health status, medical history, and any hereditary
     conditions that might influence your future needs.
 Compare Policies: Use online tools to compare plans from
     different insurers. Look beyond premiums and focus on benefits, exclusions,
     and additional features.
 Understand the Fine Print:
     Read the policy document carefully. Pay special attention to exclusions,
     waiting periods, co-payment clauses, and sub-limits.
 Seek Expert Advice: If unsure,
     consult with a health insurance advisor to clarify doubts and receive
     recommendations based on your specific needs.
 Look for Reviews and Ratings: Customer feedback and insurer ratings can provide insights into
     the quality of service and claim settlement ratio.


Common Mistakes to Avoid

While choosing a health
insurance plan, it’s easy to overlook certain details that might lead to
challenges later. Avoid these common pitfalls:

●     
Ignoring Waiting Periods:
Many policies impose a waiting period for pre-existing conditions. Choose a
plan with a shorter waiting period if you require coverage sooner.

●     
Underestimating Coverage Needs ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ After a rigorous multi-stage
selection from over 150 applications, three screenwriters advance to producer
partnerships through Cininfo’s inaugural Launchpad 2025 program.​


Cininfo Launchpad 2025 announces the three final winners of its screenwriter
and film mentorship lab in India, after a multi-stage process designed to
discover, develop, and connect emerging talent with producers.​

 

Cininfo
Launchpad 2025: overview

Cininfo today announced the three final
selected members of Cininfo Launchpad 2025, a mentorship-to-market lab that
takes screenwriters from early-stage ideas to meaningful producer
conversations. The program is built to bridge a critical gap in the ecosystem
by offering guided development, deep craft feedback, and access to producers
actively looking for new stories.​

 

The inaugural edition of Cininfo
Launchpad 2025 received over 150 applications from across geographies and
backgrounds. Through a structured process of reading, interviews, and pitching,
the program identified projects with strong voice, clarity of intention, and
potential to grow into distinctive feature films or long-form narratives.​

 

Cininfo Launchpad 2025 is a
screenwriter and film mentorship lab designed for emerging filmmakers, film and
media students, and early‑career industry professionals looking to develop
scripts and pitch to producers in India and beyond. The program combines
structured script development, one‑on‑one mentorship, and a live producer pitch
platform, helping participants move from draft to a production‑ready project
while building long‑term collaborators in the film and content ecosystem.​

 

How
Cininfo Launchpad works

The Cininfo Launchpad 2025
journey unfolded across three key stages: an open call that drew 150+
applications from over , a first-round reading and screening, followed by
interviews and pitch briefings to select a focused mentorship cohort, and
finally a producers’ pitch to choose projects ready for the next phase. This
format was designed to mirror a real-world development arc—moving from concept
to a sharper draft while preparing writers to speak about their work with
confidence in professional rooms.​

 

Cininfo’s motive with Launchpad
is simple yet urgent: to create a reliable pathway between promising new
storytellers and decision-makers who can meaningfully back them. The objective
is not just to select three writers, but to build a culture of development
where feedback, rigour, and collaboration become as central as the final
greenlight.​

 

Selection
journey and final three

From over 150 applications, a
curated pool was first shortlisted through a comprehensive review and initial
screening. Seven writers were then chosen for a 5–6 week mentorship development
phase, where they worked closely with mentors on structure, character, tone,
and rewriting while preparing to pitch to a producers’ panel.​

 

Following the final pitches,
three writers have been selected to move ahead into focused story discussions
and producer partnerships:​

●      Vinoo
Choliparambil – Mumbai, Maharashtra​

●      Abhay
Yadav – Mumbai, Maharashtra​

●      Shaheen
Muhammed – Kozhikode, Kerala​

 

These three now enter the next
stage with Cininfo and the producers’ panel, aimed at deepening their projects
towards packaging, financing, and eventual production conversations.​

 

Mentorship
cohort

The Cininfo Launchpad 2025
mentorship cohort of seven consisted of:​

●      Shaheen
Muhammed – Kozhikode, Kerala​

●      Vinoo
Choliparambil – Mumbai, Maharashtra​

●      Rigzin
Gurmet – Leh-Ladakh (Mumbai)

●      Nimish
Tanna – Auckland, New Zealand​

●      Anshul
Agrawal – Mumbai, Maharashtra​

●      Adarsh
Singh – Mumbai, Maharashtra​

●      Abhay
Yadav – Mumbai, Maharashtra​

 

Across 5–6 weeks, the cohort
engaged in sessions focused on editing their material, clarifying the emotional
core of their stories, and understanding the realities of today’s marketplace.
The lab combined one-on-one guidance with group learning, allowing writers to
benefit from both individual feedback and peer perspectives.​

 

Producer
panel

Cininfo Launchpad 2025 was
anchored by an experienced and diverse producers’ panel:​

●      Tanaji
Dasgupta – Mumbai-based producer, writer, and co-founder of Kindling
Pictures, co-producer of Laapataa Ladies (TIFF premiere, Netflix hit)
and producer/co-writer on acclaimed titles such as The Hungry and Cat
Sticks, and former Head of Post Production on The Disciple.​

●      Nani
Sahra Walker – Academy Award-winning executive producer and independent
writer-director, with credits including Shakti and The Last Repair
Shop alongside teaching and mentoring roles with institutions like UC
Berkeley and American Film Showcase at USC.

●      Tanvi
Gandhi – Award-winning producer with over 25 projects, former Executive
Prod ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Cininfo Launchpad 2025 journey unfolded across three key stages: an open call that drew 150+ applications from over , a first-round reading and screening, followed by interviews and pitch briefings to select a focused mentorship cohort, and finally a producers’ pitch to choose projects ready for the next phase. This format was designed to mirror a real-world development arc—moving from concept to a sharper draft while preparing writers to speak about their work with confidence in professional rooms.​</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cininfo’s motive with Launchpad is simple yet urgent: to create a reliable pathway between promising new storytellers and decision-makers who can meaningfully back them. The objective is not just to select three writers, but to build a culture of development where feedback, rigour, and collaboration become as central as the final greenlight.​</p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Selection journey and final three</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From over 150 applications, a curated pool was first shortlisted through a comprehensive review and initial screening. Seven writers were then chosen for a 5–6 week mentorship development phase, where they worked closely with mentors on structure, character, tone, and rewriting while preparing to pitch to a producers’ panel.​</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following the final pitches, three writers have been selected to move ahead into focused story discussions and producer partnerships:​</p>

<title>CLAT 2026 Results Spotlight a Shift in Law Entrance Preparation as Geetali Gupta Secures AIR 1 with Structured, Sustainable Approach</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi : The declaration of CLAT 2026 results has once again brought national attention
to the evolving nature of India’s premier law entrance examination, as Geetali
Gupta secured All India Rank 1 with a score of 112.75 out of 119 and earned
allotment to the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru.
Beyond the headline achievement, education experts and aspirants alike are
closely examining the preparation model behind her success, which reflects a
broader shift in how competitive law exams are now being approached.

 

Gupta’s journey to
the top rank stands out not for dramatic last-minute efforts or extreme
sacrifice, but for its emphasis on clarity, consistency and feedback-led
improvement. In her official interaction, Gupta confirmed that she enrolled
with LegalEdge by Toprankers under its Warriors Batch in February 2025,
a phase she described as the beginning of her system-driven preparation rather
than an intensity-driven approach. Her experience reflects a growing consensus
among educators that modern entrance examinations increasingly reward
stability, judgement and iterative improvement over sheer volume of study.

 

“If you’ve ever
prepared for a competitive exam, you know the emotional swings,” said a senior
mentor associated with LegalEdge by Toprankers. “One mock goes well, the next
dips, and self-doubt creeps in. What differentiates top performers today is not
the absence of uncertainty, but the ability to continue improving within a
structured system.”

 

CLAT, in recent
years, has moved away from being a purely syllabus-oriented test toward what
many educators describe as a “decision-based” examination. With lengthy
passages, close answer options and intense time pressure, the paper
increasingly evaluates comprehension, judgement and calmness under stress
rather than rote memorisation. Gupta’s post-exam reaction, which went viral on
social media, resonated with thousands of aspirants because it reflected this
reality: even well-prepared students often leave the exam hall unsure of their
performance.

 

Education analysts
note that such uncertainty is not a weakness but an inherent feature of
reasoning-heavy assessments. “When the exam tests thinking rather than recall,
confidence is built after the result, not before,” an academic observer said, adding
that Gupta’s experience mirrors that of many high scorers who rely on process
rather than prediction.

 

A key inflection
point in Gupta’s preparation timeline was February 2025, when she formally
enrolled with LegalEdge by Toprankers and committed to a single preparation
ecosystem. According to mentors, this decision helped reduce the chaos that
often overwhelms aspirants—multiple sources, conflicting strategies and
constant comparison on social media platforms. By limiting moving parts,
revision became more focused, mock analysis more meaningful and confidence more
evidence-based.

 

“Modern exam
preparation is about repeatability,” said an industry expert. “When students
stop switching strategies every few weeks and start trusting one system, their
learning curve stabilises. Geetali’s journey is a strong example of that.”

 

Her approach has
also added nuance to the long-running debate around dummy schooling versus
regular schooling. Gupta publicly cautioned against dummy schools, advocating
instead for balanced preparation alongside regular academics. She maintained
consistent school performance while preparing for CLAT, a stance that has
reassured many parents concerned about extreme pathways and student burnout.

 

This perspective
aligns with a larger societal shift in expectations from competitive exam
aspirants. As entrance tests become more reasoning-oriented, sustainable
routines and mental well-being are increasingly seen as assets rather than
obstacles. A topper endorsing balance sends a strong cultural signal that
long-term performance does not require abandoning normal academic life.

 

Another notable
aspect of Gupta’s preparation was her reliance on mock tests as a core learning
tool rather than a peripheral checkpoint. In today’s CLAT landscape, mocks have
effectively become part of the curriculum. What distinguishes high performers,
educators say, is not the number of tests attempted but the depth of analysis
after each one—identifying recurring error patterns, comprehension gaps and
time-management issues.

 

Gupta’s interviews
consistently highlight the role of structured mock analysis and mentor guidance
in refining her judgement. This reflects a broader trend in competitive
education, where tight feedback loops are increasingly critical as exams prioritise
reasoning over recall.

 

Attention
management has also emerged as a decisive skill in this environment. With
constant access to information, peer comparisons and unsolicited advice,
distraction often proves more damaging than dif ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">The verifiable outcome—AIR 1, a score of 112.75/119 and allotment to NLSIU Bengaluru—anchors this narrative in measurable success. As law entrance examinations continue to evolve, such stories are increasingly shaping how students, parents and educators think about preparation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">Geetali Gupta decided to pursue law in Grade 9, inspired by her interest in debating and persuasion. During Grade 12, she began strengthening her foundational concepts before transitioning to structured preparation in early 2025. Over the course of the year, she relied on consistent practice, mock testing and feedback-driven improvement. Describing her result as surreal and deeply fulfilling, Gupta’s journey has now become a reference point in discussions around sustainable, system-based exam preparation in India’s competitive education landscape.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ 27th
January, Dhanbad : Maithan Steel, one of the most trusted names
in the Indian steel industry, marked its 25 successful years with the Jashn-E-Maithan
2026 dealers’ meet, celebrating a journey of steady growth, reliability, and
strong partnerships. Founded in 2001, the company began operations with a
sponge iron manufacturing unit producing approximately 60,000 tonnes per annum.
Over the years, Maithan Steel expanded its footprint and diversified into TMT
bar manufacturing in 2012. Today, the company operates as a 5,00,000 tonne
integrated steel plant, supported by advanced manufacturing processes and
strict quality controls. With a presence across 25 States and Union
Territories, Maithan Steel is backed by 250+ institutional buyers, a network of
2,500+ channel partners, and the trust of over 25,00,000 individual home
builders and consumers. The company has also generated direct and indirect
employment for more than 25,000 individuals.

As
Maithan Steel celebrated this milestone, the company also outlined its future
growth plans. It had ongoing expansion projects across sponge iron, ferro
alloys, and allied segments, aimed at strengthening its manufacturing
capabilities. The company has received environmental clearance for a 9,00,000
tonne steel plant, with construction expected to commence during the 2027–28
period, reinforcing its long-term vision of sustainable growth and its
commitment to meeting India’s rising infrastructure demands.

To
commemorate 25 years of operations, Maithan Steel hosted Jashn-E-Maithan 2026
in Dhanbad, bringing together over 1000 stakeholders from across the country.
The celebration featured a blend of entertainment, brand engagements, and key
announcements that reflected the brand’s journey of strength and trust. Brand
ambassador The Great Khali played a central role in the event, reinforcing the
brand’s powerful message, “Strong Matlab Maithan Steel,” and
highlighting the shared values of strength, resilience, and reliability.

A
major highlight of the event was an international wrestling showcase organised
under Maithan Mania, symbolising the strength that defines the brand. The
wrestling segment culminated in the announcement of a highly anticipated
international match following an open challenge issued by international
wrestler Parker Boudreaux. Known for his aggressive style and global presence
across wrestling platforms in the United States, Japan, and other international
circuits, Boudreaux’s challenge added a global dimension and excitement to
Maithan Steel’s 25-year celebrations.

As
part of the milestone year, Maithan Steel also announced the launch of two new
television commercials scheduled for January 2026. The brand adopted a fresh,
humour-led approach to storytelling while staying rooted in its core message of
strength and trust. The upcoming films featured The Great Khali alongside
Vikram Kochhar and Chandan Prabhakar, whose chemistry and comic timing brought
a light-hearted yet impactful narrative to life. Both films creatively blended
comedy with the message of “Strong Matlab Maithan,” reinforcing that Maithan
Steel is a brand consumers could rely on, backed by “Khali’s Guarantee.” Each
film explored everyday situations where strength, reliability, and trust took
centre stage, making the brand’s proposition more relatable and entertaining.

Reflecting
on the journey, Mr. Madhur Agarwalla, Director said, “Completing
25 years is a moment of immense pride for us. This journey has been built on
trust—of our dealers, partners, vendors and customers. As we move forward, we
remain committed to strengthening our capabilities and contributing to India’s
growth with even stronger steel.”

Speaking
on the occasion, Mr. Kaushal Agarwalla, Director said, “This
milestone reflects the trust and partnerships that have helped Maithan Steel
grow stronger year after year. Our celebrations and upcoming campaigns are a
tribute to the people who have believed in us and stood by the brand.”

As
Maithan Steel entered its next phase of growth, the company reaffirmed its
focus on expansion, innovation, and long-term sustainability, continuing its
commitment to building stronger foundations for generations to come.

Brand
Ambassador – The Great Khali

Maithan
Steel’s association with The Great Khali reflected the brand’s philosophy of
strength, resilience, and authenticity. A former WWE World Heavyweight
Champion, Khali had represented India on the global wrestling stage and later
returned to contribute to the sport through his Continental Wrestling Academy,
where he trained professional wrestlers now competing internationally. His
association with Maithan Steel went beyond endorsement, as he personally used
Maithan Steel products for constructing his home and dhabas, reinforcing his
trust in the brand’s quality.

<title>Axis Max Life’s India Retirement Index Study 5.0 Uncovers Critical Retirement Gaps for India’s Sandwich Generation and Empty Nesters</title>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Only 33% of Empty Nesters expect Retirement
Corpus to last a decade

●       
71% Sandwich Generation respondents admit to a
deep-seated fear of loneliness

New Delhi, January 27, 2026 : Axis Max Life Insurance Limited
(“Axis Max Life” / “Company”), formerly known as Max Life Insurance Company
Limited, has released cohort-level findings of the Sandwich Generation and
Empty Nesters as part of the fifth edition of its flagship India Retirement
Index Study (IRIS) conducted in partnership with Kantar, a leading global
marketing data and analytics company. 

Today, as the traditional Indian joint family structure shifts toward
nuclear families and urban migration, the study highlights two key groups
shaping the country’s changing retirement mindset: the Sandwich Generation,
which supports both aging parents and dependent children, and Empty Nesters,
parents living independently after their children have moved out.  With an overall national India Retirement
Index score of 48, the IRIS study reveals a critical gap in long-term security:
only 33% of Empty Nesters and 38% of the Sandwich Generation believe that their
savings will last more than 10 years post-retirement.

Sumit Madan, Managing Director and CEO, Axis Max Life said, “The
Sandwich Generation and Empty Nesters reflect two distinct, yet interconnected
realities of India’s demographic transition. While one is balancing the
immediacy of multi-generational responsibilities, the other is planning for a
future defined by independence and self-reliance. At Axis Max Life, our focus
is on closing the gap between awareness and true preparedness. Retirement
planning must move beyond accumulation to address longevity, dignity, and
emotional security ensuring individuals can age with confidence, autonomy, and
peace of mind.”

Key Insights

Empty Nesters: Hindsight-Led Discipline Amid Longevity Concerns

Empty
Nesters, as a cohort that’s already at the cusp of retirement, exhibit a
‘better late than never’ approach towards building their investment for
retirement.

●       
Investment Proactivity: 71% have already
started their retirement investment journey, surpassing the national average of
67% marginally.

High Financial Awareness: 86% of this cohort
knows the exact corpus required to maintain their post-retirement lifestyle.

●       
Strategic Asset Shift: While 61% rely on
traditional fixed and recurring deposits, 44% now invest in mutual funds or
SIPs, significantly higher than the national average of 32%.

●       
Planning Mindset: Only 18% believe that
retirement planning should be deferred until all other life responsibilities
are completed.

Health Realism &amp; Longevity Concerns

●       
Health Engagement: 55% undergo regular or
occasional health check-ups, while 52% are covered by health insurance, both in
line with national levels.

●       
The Fitness Gap: Daily physical activity
trails slightly behind the national benchmark, with 40% exercising daily
compared to the 43% all-India average.

●

&quot;treatment-led,&quot; with 32% following strict medical advice or
medication routines, alongside a 30% focus on self-care.

●       
Muted Health Confidence: Reflecting concerns
over aging, only 72% believe they will remain fit during retirement, notably
lower than the national average of 79%.

environmental shifts (80%) on a peaceful retired life remain high and
consistent with national trends.

●       
Family as an Anchor: Despite these anxieties,
55% feel totally secure about receiving support from their family during
retirement, mirroring the national sentiment.

The Sandwich Generation: The High-Stakes Balancing Act

Caught in a mid-life race, this cohort holds a slightly higher
Retirement Index of 49, driven by a dual burden of responsibility.

Financial Planning &amp; Investment Drivers

●       
Investment Readiness: 67% have already begun
their retirement savings journey.

●       
Key Influencers: The primary triggers for

●       
Protection Leaders: This cohort is marginally
ahead of the nation in life insurance ownership at 78%.

●       
The Traditional Safety Net: Reliance on legacy
structures remains high among those who have not started investing towards

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
STEM education with a focus on gender
inclusivity benefits 110,216 students.

●       
Over 397 teachers trained, 17,830 teachers
engaged through webinars.

●       
Numerous Maker Spaces introduced to ignite
curiosity.

●       
Easy to understand modules and pedagogy
developed for faster learning.

Gurugram:
With shared vision of building a future-ready generation, BMW Group
and UNICEF today highlighted the annual impact of their global BRIDGE
partnership in India. Since its launch in December 2024, the initiative has
reached around 110,216 children and 397 educators in India across multiple
states by strengthening foundational learning and expanding access to hands-on
STEM education.

The
BRIDGE initiative is part of a long-term global collaboration between BMW Group
and UNICEF till 2030, aimed at equipping children with future-ready skills
through supporting state governments on STEM education (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics). In India, the programme adopts a two-pronged
approach to education reform - strengthening foundational literacy and numeracy
in early grades, and expanding access to practical, experiential STEM learning
for adolescents.

Implemented
in close collaboration with state governments, the initiative is currently
active across Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam and Tamil Nadu. The programme
creates inclusive STEM learning environments through strengthening teacher
capacity and experiential learning using low-cost maker spaces, STEM kits, and
new science labs in under-served schools.

Commenting
on the partnership, Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, BMW Group India,
said, “The BMW Group’s global partnership with UNICEF underscores our
commitment to education as a catalyst for lasting social and economic progress.
In India, we are proud of the strides made in strengthening foundational
learning and creating opportunities for children, especially girls, to explore
STEM. We remain dedicated to supporting scalable, high-impact initiatives that
empower the next generation for a brighter future. Through the long-term
programme spread over several years, we will ensure that this progress goes a
long way towards creating real, on-ground impact.”

Ms.
Cynthia McCaffrey, UNICEF India Representative said, “Today’s employment
opportunities come with greater demands for competencies in STEM. Girls, in
particular, miss out on opportunities to learn and practice STEM. For this very
reason, the BMW-UNICEF partnership is investing in making education more
accessible and inclusive, especially for girls, leading to greater economic and
social self-reliance.”

During
the first year of implementation, the partnership delivered measurable outcomes
on ground. A total of 397 educators across 142 schools were trained in
evidence-based practices to improve early-grade literacy and numeracy, while
large-scale digital webinars reached 17,830 teachers, strengthening classroom
instruction and foundational pedagogy at scale. A situational analysis helped
develop a state-level action plan to strengthen supervisory systems. The
engagement of parents and caregivers was successfully strengthened through
regular meetings, fostering closer home home–school collaboration.

West
Bengal

In
West Bengal, a STEM Instructional Manual with 90 experiential activities was
developed, including the use of household items to explain fractions and 10
maker spaces were set up. A digital supervision app now tracks classroom
practices such as inclusion, use of learning materials, creating a safe and
engaging environment, and encouraging active participation. Supervisors use the
app’s data to give feedback and plan improvements with teachers. Since October
2024, over 8,000 school visits have been logged. In addition, large-scale
events, like the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, engaged
nearly 59,000 students, promoting gender equity.

Assam

Hands-on
STEM content was successfully piloted in 30 schools, reaching over 7,000
students in Assam. Classroom observations and teacher surveys were carried out
to inform the redesign of difficult topics. Interactive learning packages were
piloted, including experiments using local materials to explain concepts like
motion and fractions.

Jharkhand

Evidence
points out that children learn best when taught in their most familiar
language. To help children do so, the development of bilingual textbooks for
Grades 1 and 2 in Assam and Jharkhand was supported. These books align with the
state curriculum and reflect local contexts, enabling a smooth transition from
home language to the language used at school. Jharkhand also received support
to equip 11 STEM labs in girls’ residential schools (KGBVs) and distribute STEM
kits in 82 KGBVs. STEM kits give students the chance to learn through practical
experiments. With simple tools like soldering irons, batteries, an ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune
| January 27, 2026 : Sai Nisarg Landmark LLP, a PCMC-based real
estate developer known for creating thoughtfully planned, nature-integrated
residential developments, has unveiled its upcoming project ‘Skyluxe’, PCMC’s
first Japanese landscape inspired residential development, positioning Zen,
balance and minimalism as a core design philosophy rather than a standalone
feature. Envisioned as a park centric luxury project in Central Chinchwad,
Skyluxe marks a significant addition to the region’s evolving premium housing
landscape, reflecting a deeper shift towards mindful urban living as PCMC
continues its vertical growth and urban evolution. The project is being
exclusively marketed by BeyondWalls, the strategic marketing partner for
Skyluxe.

Skyluxe
project was unveiled by Mr. Sanjay Patel and Mr. Sujit Patil, Directors of Sai
Nisarg Landmark LLP, who emphasised the company’s intent to create a
residential address that blends nature-driven design with modern architecture
while offering a refined living experience.

Speaking
on the occasion, Mr. Sanjay Patel, Director, Sai Nisarg Landmark LLP, said,
“With Skyluxe, our vision extends beyond developing a residential project to
creating a long term urban landmark that reflects how PCMC is evolving. As the
city grows vertically and aspires for global design sensibilities, developments
must contribute lasting value to the skyline, the community and the city’s
future. Skyluxe represents our commitment to building with purpose, where
design, nature and legacy come together to shape a refined urban lifestyle.”

Spread
across a 3.5-acre master plan, Skyluxe has been conceptualised with a strong
focus on open and green living, with over 85 per cent of the project area
dedicated to open and landscaped spaces. Rising as a 28 storey landmark, the
development is envisioned as a new visual icon that will redefine Central
Chinchwad’s skyline and reflect PCMC’s transition towards high quality vertical
living. The elegantly designed towers feature only four residences per floor,
allowing for enhanced privacy, ample natural light, cross ventilation and unobstructed
views. The project offers premium 2, 3 and 4 BHK residences, carefully planned
to cater to the evolving lifestyle needs of modern urban families.

Elaborating
further, Mr. Sujit Patil, Director, Sai Nisarg Landmark LLP, said, “Skyluxe
reflects our long-term vision of creating sustainable and future-ready
developments that balance design excellence with functionality. Every aspect of
the project, from the tower configuration to the landscape planning, has been
thoughtfully curated to enhance the resident experience. By dedicating a large
portion of the development to open spaces and lifestyle amenities, we aim to
create a community that encourages interaction, wellness and a higher quality
of living.”

A
defining feature of Skyluxe is its extensive range of over 50 curated lifestyle
amenities, seamlessly integrated across landscaped greens and podium level
spaces. Rooted in Japanese landscape principles, the development features
thoughtfully designed spaces such as Zen Garden, Sakura Court, Koi Pond, Ikigai
Lawn, Meditation Pavilion and Miyabi Walkways, each reflecting elements of
harmony, mindfulness and minimalism. Key attractions include Harmony Park,
spread over 32,000 sq. ft. and designed as a vibrant social green, and Ascend
Park, a landscaped podium spanning over 20,000 sq. ft. The project also offers
a swimming pool with water features, yoga and meditation zones, outdoor fitness
decks, children’s play areas, cricket practice nets, badminton and pickleball
courts, co working spaces, reading lounges, senior citizens’ areas, celebration
decks and multiple shaded seating zones.

Strategically
located in the heart of PCMC, the development enjoys seamless connectivity with
Lokmanya Hospital in close proximity, an upcoming Metro station enhancing
future focused mobility, and Elpro Mall offering established retail and
lifestyle convenience, reinforcing its position as a well connected yet
thoughtfully designed urban landmark.

BeyondWalls,
the strategic marketing partner for the project, is an integrated real estate
advisory platform supporting the market entry strategy for Skyluxe through a
technology driven and data driven sales approach. BeyondWalls works closely
with developers to strengthen market positioning, drive demand through
structured sales strategies, and enhance customer engagement across the home
buying journey.

Sai
Nisarg Landmark LLP has over two decades of experience in the PCMC real estate
market and has delivered more than 31 lakh sq. ft. across 25 projects, with an
additional 20 lakh sq. ft. currently under development. The developer is known

planning.

<title>Best Digital Marketing Agency in India</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/best-digital-marketing-agency-in-india</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/best-digital-marketing-agency-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  digiVirus.in is one of the best digital
marketing agencies in India, trusted by leading brands and unicorn companies
for delivering consistent, performance driven, and transparent digital growth.
In an industry where exaggerated claims and short-term tactics are common,
digiVirus.in has built its identity around execution, accountability, and real
business outcomes.

digiVirus.in was created with a clear and
practical belief - digital marketing should be simple to understand, honest in
execution, and focused on long-term growth rather than temporary spikes. The
agency does not promise overnight success or unrealistic numbers. Instead, it
builds structured digital systems that help brands grow steadily and sustainably.

Today, digiVirus.in works with brands
across India, UAE, USA, and Canada, supporting businesses in
multiple markets with region-specific strategies while maintaining consistent
brand positioning and performance standards.

Website: digivirus.in 

Strong Client Ratings and Industry Recognition

digiVirus.in is also highly rated across
leading review and business platforms for its performance marketing approach
and transparent working style. The agency holds a 5.0 rating on Google
My Business, reflecting strong client satisfaction, consistent results, and
long-term partnerships.

In addition to Google, digiVirus.in has
received positive ratings and reviews on global platforms such as Clutch
and Trustpilot, where businesses evaluate agencies based on
execution quality, communication, and reliability. These ratings highlight
digiVirus.in commitment to honest reporting, clear strategy, and result-focused
delivery.

High ratings across multiple platforms
reinforce digiVirus.in position as a trusted digital marketing partner for
brands that value accountability, transparency, and measurable outcomes.

The Changing Landscape of Digital Marketing in
India

Over the last decade, digital marketing in
India has evolved rapidly. Businesses have shifted budgets from traditional
media to digital platforms, hoping to reach customers more effectively and
measure performance accurately. While digital marketing has opened new growth
opportunities, it has also introduced new challenges.

Many businesses today struggle with:

·      
Rising ad
costs with declining returns

·      
Low-quality
leads that fail to convert

·      
Agencies
that focus on vanity metrics instead of revenue

·      
Lack of
transparency in reporting

·      
No clear
long-term digital strategy

As competition increases across industries,
businesses need more than just ad execution. They need a digital marketing
partner that understands business goals, customer behavior, funnel performance,
and modern search trends - including AI-based discovery.

This is where digiVirus.in has positioned
itself differently.

digiVirus.in: A Performance-First Digital
Marketing Agency

digiVirus.in operates with a performance-first
mindset. Every service, campaign, and execution is tied to measurable business
outcomes such as lead quality, conversion rates, revenue growth, and brand
authority.

The agency works as a marketing
partner, not just a service provider. This means digiVirus.in takes
responsibility for the complete digital growth of a brand - from planning and
execution to optimization and reporting.

Instead of using fixed templates, the team
builds customized strategies based on:

·      
Business
model

·      
Industry
competition

·      
Target
audience behavior

·      
Market
maturity

·      
Growth
objectives

This approach has helped digiVirus.in gain the
trust of leading brands and unicorn companies that demand reliability,
structure, and long-term thinking.

Global Operations 

Digital marketing does not work the same way
in every country. Audience behavior, platforms, competition, and purchasing
patterns vary significantly across regions. digiVirus.in understands this and
follows a market-specific execution approach.

India: India is a highly competitive and price-sensitive
market. digiVirus.in focuses on scale, efficiency, and conversion optimization
to help brands grow sustainably despite intense competition.

UAE: In the UAE, digital marketing requires premium
positioning, trust-building, and high-quality leads. Campaigns are designed to
match audience expectations and buying behavior.

USA: The US market is mature and data-driven. digiVirus.in
executes conversion-focused strategies with strong tracking, funnel
optimization, and performance scaling.

Canada: For Canada, the agency focuses
on steady growth, accurate targeting, and consistent digital visibility with
balanced performance strategies.

This regional understanding allows
digiVirus.in to deliver better results while maintaining global brand
consistency.

<title>ICICI Lombard Puts Safety First with Multiple Road Safety Initiatives</title>

<description><![CDATA[ •     
Touched 10,00,000 lives through awareness,
helmet distribution, rehabilitation of accident victims 

•     
Impacts millions of lives by focusing on Zero
Fatality Corridors on MPEW and NH27, Bihar  


 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 

 


Mumbai 24th Jan,
2026 : For millions of Indians, two-wheelers are not just a mode of
transport they are a lifeline. Nearly 27,000 people died in road accidents on National
Highway during first six months in 2025. From early-morning commutes
to late-night deliveries, people navigate busy roads every day; often without
adequate protection. Recognising this reality, ICICI Lombard General Insurance
continues its helmet distribution initiative to make every day journeys safer
for Indians.

Launched in 2015,
the initiative has grown into a nationwide movement for safer riding. Since its
inception, ICICI Lombard has distributed more than 6,00,000+ helmets and
touched over 10,00,000 lives through a combination of road safety
awareness programmes, helmet distribution drives, and rehabilitation support
for accident victims. The programme has reached people from all walks of life —
students, delivery partners, gig workers, and daily commuters — who rely on
two-wheelers not just for convenience, but for their livelihoods.

What sets this
initiative apart is not merely its scale, but the dialogue it creates on the
ground. Each distribution drive is complemented by direct community engagement
— through safety demonstrations, rider interactions, and awareness sessions —
reinforcing that wearing a helmet is about personal safety and responsibility,
not just compliance with the law.

ICICI Lombard’s
approach to safety extends beyond insurance through initiatives like Ride to
Safety and Caring Hands. While Ride to Safety builds road awareness among young
and first-time riders through education on traffic rules, defensive driving,
and protective gear, Caring Hands strengthens community well-being by providing
eye care and glasses to those students with undiagnosed vision problems in
India.

In addition to
rider safety, ICICI Lombard is also working towards impacting millions of
lives by focusing on Zero Fatality Corridors across critical highway
stretches such as the Mumbai–Pune Expressway (MPEW) and NH27 in Bihar.
These efforts combine awareness, on-ground interventions, and ecosystem
partnerships aimed at reducing fatalities and making high-risk corridors safer
for all road users.

The company is also
driving awareness around Motor Third Party insurance, emphasising the
importance of financial protection and legal responsibility towards others on
the road. Through on-ground interactions and awareness campaigns, ICICI Lombard
educates riders on how Motor Third Party insurance safeguards them against
liabilities arising from injury, death, or property damage caused to third
parties — helping create a more responsible and informed riding ecosystem.

Speaking about the
company’s approach, Sheena Kapoor - Head Marketing, Corporate
Communications, and CSR, ICICI Lombard, said, “At ICICI Lombard, road
safety is not just a CSR initiative—it is an integral part of our business and
purpose as a general insurer. We believe that real impact begins with
prevention. Through initiatives such as helmet distribution, awareness rallies,
and advocacy for responsible driving behaviour, we work to make our roads
safer. Our efforts go beyond awareness to include engineering/infrastructure
corrections at accident-prone locations, promoting zero-fatality corridors, and
rehabilitation support for accident victims. By embedding prevention into our
business approach, we aim to reduce fatalities and create lasting, meaningful
change on Indian roads.” 

As India moves faster than ever, the
need for safer roads has become a priority. By combining awareness, technology,
and real-world action, ICICI Lombard is not just preventing accidents, its
ensuring that every ride carries the promise of a safe return.

The programme has reached people from all walks of life — students, delivery partners, gig workers, and daily commuters — who rely on two-wheelers not just for convenience, but for their livelihoods.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What sets this initiative apart is not merely its scale, but the dialogue it creates on the ground. Each distribution drive is complemented by direct community engagement — through safety demonstrations, rider interactions, and awareness sessions — reinforcing that wearing a helmet is about personal safety and responsibility, not just compliance with the law.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ICICI Lombard’s approach to safety extends beyond insurance through initiatives like Ride to Safety and Caring Hands. While Ride to Safety builds road awareness among young and first-time riders through education on traffic rules, defensive driving, and protective gear, Caring Hands strengthens community well-being by providing eye care and glasses to those students with undiagnosed vision problems in India.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to rider safety, ICICI Lombard is also working towards <b>impacting millions of lives</b> by focusing on <b>Zero Fatality Corridors</b> across critical highway stretches such as the <b>Mumbai–Pune Expressway (MPEW)</b> and <b>NH27 in Bihar</b>. These efforts combine awareness, on-ground interventions, and ecosystem partnerships aimed at reducing fatalities and making high-risk corridors safer for all road users.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The company is also driving awareness around <b>Motor Third Party insurance</b>, emphasising the importance of financial protection and legal responsibility towards others on the road. Through on-ground interactions and awareness campaigns, ICICI Lombard educates riders on how Motor Third Party insurance safeguards them against liabilities arising from injury, death, or property damage caused to third parties — helping create a more responsible and informed riding ecosystem.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Speaking about the company’s approach,<b> Sheena Kapoor - Head Marketing, Corporate Communications, and CSR, ICICI Lombard,</b> said, “At ICICI Lombard, road safety is not just a CSR initiative—it is an integral part of our business and purpose as a general insurer. We believe that real impact begins with prevention. Through initiatives such as helmet distribution, awareness rallies, and advocacy for responsible driving behaviour, we work to make our roads safer. Our efforts go beyond awareness to include engineering/infrastructure corrections at accident-prone locations, promoting zero-fatality corridors, and rehabilitation support for accident victims. By embedding prevention into our business approach, we aim to reduce fatalities and create lasting, meaningful change on Indian roads.” </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As India moves faster than ever, the need for safer roads has become a priority. By combining awareness, technology, and real-world action, ICICI Lombard is not just preventing accidents, its ensuring that every ride carries the promise of a safe return.<br> </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>

<title>Making waves by changing the way social connections happen &amp; Magnett app</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/making-waves-by-changing-the-way-social-connections-happen-magnett-app</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/making-waves-by-changing-the-way-social-connections-happen-magnett-app</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, India. 24 January, 2025 : As loneliness rises and
social apps become increasingly exhausting, Magnett
comes as a brand new app concept designed to move people away from endless
swiping and back toward real human connection.

Magnett challenges the profile-first model that dominates today’s social
and dating platforms. Instead of matching people through photos, bios, and
algorithms, the app encourages users to step into the real world and connect
instantly with others around them  based on shared presence and genuine
vibes.

“Social apps were meant to bring people closer, but many now leave users
feeling more isolated than ever,” said Shatrughan, Founder of Magnett. “Magnett
is built on a simple belief: you don’t connect with profiles, you connect with
people.”

Tackling Loneliness and Swiping Fatigue

Magnett
directly addresses two modern challenges: rising loneliness despite constant
digital connectivity, and swiping fatigue caused by endless scrolling with
little emotional payoff. By removing profiles and long decision-making loops,
Magnett makes interaction immediate, natural, and low pressure.

Users can discover and connect with people in the same physical space
whether at a café, bar, event, park, or neighborhood encouraging conversations
that happen in the moment, not days later.

Built Around Vibes, Compliments, and Real Moments

Unlike traditional platforms that emphasize appearance and popularity,
Magnett focuses on how people feel in the moment. Users can send thoughtful
compliments to break the ice, spark conversations naturally, and acknowledge
someone they notice in real life.

Magnett
also enables users to offer a drink digitally through the app, turning interest
into an easy and respectful gesture that invites real-world interaction. No
guessing. No pressure. Just simple, human signals.

Growing Worldwide Through Magnett Hubs

Magnett is rapidly expanding its user base across regions worldwide and
is actively partnering with cafés, bars, campuses, and social venues to create
Magnett Hubs designated spaces where people can connect authentically in real
life.

These hubs replace fake profiles and performative online personas with
real faces, real conversations, and real moments, transforming everyday venues
into connection-friendly environments.

Scaling the Vision

To support its rapid growth and global expansion plans, Magnett is
currently exploring funding opportunities with strategic partners and investors
aligned with its mission to make social interaction more human and real-world
driven.

Interested investors and F&amp;B outlet partners can reach the founder
directly at connect@magnettapp.com .

A New Category of Social Discovery

Magnett positions itself not as another social or dating app, but as a
new category altogether one that blends real-world presence with digital
simplicity.

As digital fatigue grows, Magnett’s message is clear: get out there, see
faces not profiles, share a compliment, and connect instantly based on vibes.

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/motivair-by-schneider-electric-announces-new-cdu-with-capability-to-scale-to-10mw-and-beyond-for-next-gen-ai-factories</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bangalore, January 24, 2026 : Motivair by
Schneider Electric, a leading innovator in liquid cooling technology
for digital infrastructure, today introduced a new, industry-leading 2.5MW
Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) designed to cool high-density data centers
reliably, at scale. 

 

The MCDU-70 is the highest-capacity CDU available
from Motivair, and presents a breakthrough flexible and scalable solution for
meeting the rigorous demands of next-generation GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit)
and gigawatt-scale AI Factories. 

 

Utilizing Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure
software, Motivair’s CDUs operate as a centralized system—meeting today’s
cooling requirements with the ability to scale to 10MW+ for next-gen
HPC, AI and accelerated computing workloads. 

 

Compact and efficient, the MCDU-70 is the newest addition
to Motivair’s CDU line, providing cooling power without compromise by
preserving full flow performance and facility pressure at gigawatt scale. Its
capacity aligns perfectly with the needs of large-scale facilities, such as
NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, where deployments target 10MW to reach gigawatt
scale. At 2.5 MW each, six MCDU-70s can provide a 4+2 redundancy for these
designs, and the unit’s capacity is fit to service NVIDIA’s GPU roadmap for the
foreseeable future.

 

“AI isn’t slowing down. Our solutions are designed
to keep pace with chip and silicon evolution—delivering next-gen performance
when it matters most,” said Rich Whitmore, CEO &amp; President of
Motivair by Schneider Electric. “Data center success now hinges on
delivering scalable, reliable, efficient infrastructure solutions that match
the next generation of AI Factory deployments. We’re meeting that moment with
proven liquid cooling solutions that scale with our customers’ needs.”

 

Commenting on the broader impact of next-generation
cooling infrastructure, Mr. Venkataraman Swaminathan, Vice President –
Secure Power, Greater India, Schneider Electric, said, “As
AI-driven digital infrastructure continues to scale in both capacity and
complexity, resilient and energy-efficient power and cooling solutions are
becoming foundational to data center design. Schneider Electric is focused on
enabling future-ready digital infrastructure that delivers reliability and
performance at scale, while supporting global sustainability and efficiency goals.”

 

With the addition of the MCDU-70, Schneider
Electric’s end-to-end liquid cooling portfolio, now
offers CDUs ranging from 105kW to 2.5MW, meeting current and future performance
requirements. Each CDU is scalable and integrates seamlessly with other units
and Schneider Electric’s software to deliver precise and reliable cooling
capacity for data center operators. The MCDU-70 is now available to order
globally via Schneider Electric’s advanced manufacturing hubs in North America,
Europe and Asia. For more information, visit the website.

<title>MY NEW DAWN II DEBUTS AT HEARTWORKS 2026</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/my-new-dawn-ii-debuts-at-heartworks-2026</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/my-new-dawn-ii-debuts-at-heartworks-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

23  January 2026 | IF.BE, Ballard Estate, Mumbai : The recently-concluded
HeartWorks 2026 charity art exhibition saw the public unveiling of New
Dawn II—the second edition of the interactive art experience by
Mumbai-based duo Howareyoufeeling.studio (Doyel Joshi and Neil Ghose Balser),
created in collaboration with Grammy-nominated musician Anoushka Shankar.
The live installation, created with artworks by 3500+ children from various
NGOs across Mumbai, drew sustained awe by the visitors on both days and was
widely appreciated by all for its immersive, communal energy—reinforcing
HeartWorks’ core philosophy of shared giving and collective hope.

These spontaneous
drawings interpreting “a new dawn”, came together as a collective expression of
universality—a living mural of imagination, emotion, and renewal. Each drawing
becomes part of a larger body of work that the artists are presenting globally,
contributing to a shared vision of transformation and the hope we all carry.

“Our contribution to
HeartWorks with the project of New Dawn II is inspired by artists and thinkers
who shaped how we understand participation—especially Joseph Beuys and Yoko
Ono. Beuys’ belief that ‘everyone is an artist’ and Ono’s poetic invitations
for people to complete the work through their own actions deeply resonate with
us. Their ideas have always felt close to our practice and to the way we see
creativity as a collective force.

New Dawn carries that
same spirit. It invites people—children and adults, communities across the
city—to express what a beginning feels like. A simple drawing becomes a
personal truth. Together, these drawings become a shared landscape of hope. For
us, that is powerful: the idea that art emerges not from the studio alone, but
from the many hands and hearts that choose to take part.

Working with My Open
Muse, HeartWorks, and Anoushka Shankar allows us to bring this belief into a
living, breathing form. In gathering these drawings, we honour the idea that
creativity belongs to everyone—each child or participant that draws—and that
when people imagine a new dawn together, they also imagine a new future
together.”
— Doyel Joshi &amp; Neil Ghose Balser,
Howareyoufeeling.studio

Founded by Falguni
Sheth-Kapadia and Rachana Darda, HeartWorks 2026 was conceived as a
circle of giving—where artists contribute a part of their practice, patrons
support causes through acquisition, and NGOs amplify long-term impact. The
Mumbai edition, co-created with Shilpa Bhagat, formally opened by Genelia
Deshmukh (née D’Souza), featured artworks spanning Masters, Contemporary
Art and Photography. It marks the beginning of what is envisioned as a
sustained philanthropic platform rooted in creative expression, with more
HeartWorks editions set to travel soon to other metros across India and abroad.

The inaugural edition
saw strong engagement from patrons, artists and supporters across the city
seeing sales of  40+ artworks in a
short span of two days, with proceeds supporting 11 women-led NGOs
working across children’s welfare, senior care, women’s empowerment, animal
protection, rural development and environmental conservation. 

For patrons who could
not attend in person—and for those who wish to continue supporting the
initiative—the remaining artworks from HeartWorks 2026 will continue to be
available for sale until the end of the month via the My Open Muse website.

A Vision Realised Through Collaboration

Built on Falguni
Sheth-Kapadia’s founding idea and shaped through the steady partnership of
Rachana Darda and Shilpa Bhagat, HeartWorks evolved from a personal milestone
into a collective initiative grounded in commitment, care and purpose.

“HeartWorks was born
from a dream attached to a personal milestone—for my 50th birthday, I wanted to
find a powerful way of giving back. Seeing this first edition come alive has
shown me how generous the world can be when we create with purpose. I truly
believe that when we give with an open heart, we create ripples of change that
build a stronger, more compassionate world.”
– Falguni Sheth-Kapadia, Founder, HeartWorks

“When Falguni first
shared the idea of HeartWorks with me, it felt like all my years of artistic
and community work were leading to this moment. HeartWorks is not just a
fundraiser; it’s an offering—an invitation to be part of something larger than
ourselves. I’m excited to see this grow into a tradition of joyful giving
through art.”
– Rachana Darda, Co-founder, HeartWorks

“With a background in
leadership and community upliftment, I’m proud to collaborate on this
collective effort—one rooted in empathy and real, measurable change for
women-led NGOs.”
– Shilpa Bhagat, Co-creator, HeartWorks 2026,
Mumbai Edition

The live installation, created with artworks by 3500+ children from various NGOs across Mumbai, drew sustained awe by the visitors on both days and was widely appreciated by all for its immersive, communal energy—reinforcing HeartWorks’ core philosophy of shared giving and collective hope.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">These spontaneous drawings interpreting “a new dawn”, came together as a collective expression of universality—a living mural of imagination, emotion, and renewal.

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN">“Our contribution to HeartWorks with the project of New Dawn II is inspired by artists and thinkers who shaped how we understand participation—especially Joseph Beuys and Yoko Ono. Beuys’ belief that ‘everyone is an artist’ and Ono’s poetic invitations for people to complete the work through their own actions deeply resonate with us. Their ideas have always felt close to our practice and to the way we see creativity as a collective force.</span></i></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
India | 23rd January, 2026 : Novo
Medi Sciences Pvt. Ltd. (Novo Group), a legacy-driven pharmaceutical company
with 80 years of expertise in developing niche biological products such as
vaccines and life-saving critical care solutions, has announced the launch of NEXIPOX
PLUS®, the most recent innovation in Varicella vaccine since decades.
NEXIPOX PLUS® has been developed with a clear focus on addressing the unique
clinical, environmental, and operational needs of Indian patients and
healthcare settings, making Novo Medi Sciences the only company to
proactively upgrade varicella vaccine specifically for India.

Live
attenuated varicella vaccines are inherently thermolabile, making formulation
stability and potency retention critical to ensuring effective immunisation
outcomes. Recognising the challenges posed by real-world Indian conditions,
NEXIPOX PLUS® has been developed with 2X trehalose-based stabiliser system,
representing a significant evolution in formulation that are result oriented.
By replacing conventional stabilisers such as gelatin and mannitol, the
formulation enhances viral stability, preserves potency, and significantly
reduces the risk of allergic reactions and antigen crystallisation-related
issues, supporting more reliable vaccine performance across storage, handling,
and administration.

Clinical
data demonstrates strong immunogenic performance of NEXIPOX PLUS®. Speaking on
the same and the launch, Forum Bhagat, Managing Director, Novo Medi Sciences
(Novo Group), said, “NEXIPOX PLUS ® reflects our commitment to advancing
vaccine science beyond incremental changes. The results of the clinical trial
on Indian Patients has shown high seroconversion rates of 98% following
a two-dose schedule, supported by a 35.4-fold geometric mean rise in
antibody titres, indicating a robust immune response and effective
protection against varicella virus.” 

NEXIPOX
PLUS® has demonstrated a favourable safety profile in clinical studies with no
serious adverse events causally linked to the vaccine in comparative
clinical trials. The removal of gelatin from the formulation further supports
improved tolerability.

Commenting
on the clinical relevance, renowned pediatrician, Dr Nitin K. Shah,
Consultant Pediatrician and Pediatric Hemato-Oncologist, Mumbai, said,
“While stability and safety are already well established in varicella
vaccination, the real clinical advancement with NEXIPOX PLUS® lies in its
enhanced immunogenicity. By building on a stable and reliable formulation, the
use of 2× trehalose alongside advances in formulation and manufacturing has
translated into stronger and more consistent immune responses, offering
tangible benefits in routine immunisation and reinforcing clinician
confidence.”

The
prevalence of chickenpox remains high in India, and the introduction of NEXIPOX
PLUS® aligns with broader public health goals of reducing disease burden and
improving vaccination compliance. Designed with affordability, scalability, and
operational reliability in mind, the vaccine supports adoption in private
practice and strengthens the overall immunisation ecosystem.

NEXIPOX
PLUS® is approved by the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) for
use from 12 months of age. Backed by patented technology across 156
countries, the product reflects strong global regulatory readiness, with
international expansion strategies being evaluated based on public health needs
and sustainable supply considerations.

With
NEXIPOX PLUS®, Novo Medi Sciences (Novo Group) reinforces its focus on formulation-led
vaccine innovation, delivering advancements that enhance stability, safety,
and clinical confidence in modern immunisation practices.

<description><![CDATA[  Jaipur, Rajasthan –January ,2026 :  In
the heart of Rajasthan, where history whispers from every sandstone wall and
palaces tell tales of grandeur, lies the ultimate canvas for one of life’s most
significant celebrations. The search for the finest wedding
photographers in Jaipur is more than
just hiring a vendor; it’s about choosing the visual storyteller who will
translate the emotion, vibrancy, and splendor of your wedding day into a legacy
of timeless imagery. For couples envisioning a celebration infused with royal
elegance and authentic emotion, Jaipur stands as the undisputed destination,
and selecting the right photography team becomes the most crucial decision
after saying &quot;yes.&quot;

 

Why Jaipur Demands Artistry from its
Wedding Photographers



 


 

Jaipur is
not merely a location; it’s a character in your wedding story. The city’s
majestic forts, ornate havelis, and vibrant bazaars provide a backdrop of
unparalleled scale and beauty. This environment requires wedding photographers
in Jaipur to possess a unique dual skill set: the technical mastery to handle
expansive, sun-drenched scenes at heritage sites and the intimate, candid
sensitivity to capture fleeting emotional moments in serene palace courtyards.
The challenge and the opportunity lie in balancing the epic scale of the locale
with the personal, tender narrative of the couple. This is where generic
photography falls short, and specialized artistry becomes non-negotiable.

Luxury Hotel Extravaganzas: At five-star properties like the
Fairmont Jaipur, Taj Rambagh Palace, or Sujan Rajmahal Palace, we focus on
crafting a blend of luxurious detail shots and grand ballroom celebrations,
understanding the sophisticated ambiance these spaces command.

Intimate Haveli Celebrations: For weddings in restored
havelis, our skill lies in using the intimate architecture, colorful frescoes,
and soft, diffused light to 
create warm,
romantic imagery that feels both personal and deeply rooted in Rajasthani

<title>Artificial Intelligence: The Logical Leap by Ashish Sukhadeve is An AI Guide That Gets the Fundamentals Right</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/artificial-intelligence-the-logical-leap-by-ashish-sukhadeve-is-an-ai-guide-that-gets-the-fundamentals-right</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/artificial-intelligence-the-logical-leap-by-ashish-sukhadeve-is-an-ai-guide-that-gets-the-fundamentals-right</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Artificial
intelligence no longer arrives with spectacle. It unlocks phones, filters job
applications, flags medical risks, and shapes how children learn. Yet for most
people, AI still feels distant, opaque, and vaguely threatening. This gap
between usage and understanding sits at the centre of Artificial Intelligence:
The Logical Leap, a book that treats AI not as myth or miracle, but as a system
that already influences everyday decisions.

From
the opening pages, the book confronts a clear contradiction. AI has moved into
daily life, but public understanding has not kept pace. Instead of promising
disruption or warning of collapse, the book sets a measured tone. It asks
readers to understand what AI is, how it works, and where its limits begin.

A
Grounded Voice Behind the Argument

The
book comes from Ashish Sukhadeve, Founder and CEO of Analytics Insight. Years
of tracking AI, data, and emerging technologies shape the book’s perspective.
This background shows in its restraint. The writing avoids hype. Furthermore,
it does not simplify the matter too much.

The
concept developed from a recurring trend Ashish has noticed over the years:
headlines asserting AI&#039;s role taking over, with their actual impact still very
unclear. Instead of hopefulness or panic, this book intends to turn the gap
into conversation through transparency and context.

Clarity
Without Comforting Illusion

The
early chapters focus on fundamentals. Artificial intelligence
appears here as a collection of methods, not an independent force. The book
explains how machines detect patterns, respond to feedback, and improve
performance through iteration.

In
a chapter titled The Logical Leap, the author confronts common misconceptions
head-on. AI has no awareness. It has no intent. It does not think or reason
like humans. Its outputs reflect training data and design constraints. By
clearly stating these boundaries, the book strips away exaggerated fear and
misplaced trust. Readers come away with a realistic mental model, not a
comforting fantasy.

From
Concepts to Consequences

Once
the foundations are set, the book moves into applications. Healthcare, agriculture,
manufacturing, finance, education, energy, and retail each receive focused
attention. The discussion stays rooted in process. The book examines how
decisions change, where efficiency improves, and where risks multiply.

Education
is a prolonged process that is still being studied. The author discusses
personalised learning, automated assessment, AI tutors, and accessibility tools
as the main topics of the book.

While
on the one hand, the book points out the problems of bias, over-dependence, and
unequal access, on the other hand, it informs the audience through analysis of
the following motions. It neither glorifies the role of automation nor downplays
the drawbacks of its absence.

Understanding
Limits, Not Just Capabilities

One
of the book’s strengths lies in its ability to explain complexity without technical barriers.
The writing avoids code and mathematics. Instead, it uses everyday analogies to
explain neural networks, deep learning, computer vision, natural language
processing, and reinforcement learning.

Failure
receives as much attention as success. Readers learn why data quality
determines outcomes, how bias enters early, and where systems break down. The
book is full of warnings about blind automation and wrongly placed trust.

Naturally,
ethics becomes a concern. Bias, surveillance, deepfakes, privacy, and AI safety
are considered developing issues rather than minor concerns. On the subject of
the future of work, the argument continues to be quite realistic. Jobs will
change, but must human judgment, creativity, and accountability always be
there.

Who
Should Read This Book

Artificial
Intelligence: The Logical Leap is for professionals, educators, policy makers,
students, and inquisitive readers who want a deep understanding without
technical difficulties. It asks for no coding knowledge, only attention and
curiosity.

Its
real achievement lies in respect for the reader. The book assumes intelligence,
not expertise. In an era shaped by rapid technological change, the book does
not ask readers to predict the future. It asks them to engage with it
thoughtfully. This makes The Logical Leap not just relevant, but necessary.

The
book is available on Amazon,
Flipkart and Notion Press. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The milestone underscores both organisations’
enduring commitment to tackling classroom hunger by promoting nutrition and
education under the PM POSHAN scheme

Jaipur,
Rajasthan, 23 January 2026 : In a powerful testament to the impact of
collaboration, Deutsche Bank and The Akshaya Patra Foundation marked a landmark
achievement: serving 100 million mid-day meals to school children across India.
The milestone was celebrated at an event in Jaipur, bringing together
beneficiary children, educators, volunteers, and representatives from both
organisations to honour a shared vision - ensuring that hunger never stands in
the way of education.

This
achievement underscores the transformative role of institutional partnerships
in addressing classroom hunger and fostering inclusive education. Through its
CSR initiatives, Deutsche Bank has supported Akshaya Patra’s school lunch meal
programme for years, enabling the preparation and distribution of hygienic,
nutritious meals aligned with the Government of India’s PM POSHAN scheme. By
ensuring consistent access to nutrition, the partnership has strengthened
children’s physical well-being and created an environment conducive to learning
and social inclusion.

Kaushik
Shaparia, CEO of Deutsche Bank Group India &amp; Emerging Asia, said, “At
Deutsche Bank, we believe collaboration is vital to creating lasting social
impact, and this milestone reflects what sustained partnerships can achieve.
Every meal represents dignity, opportunity, and hope for children who need it
most. Together with Akshaya Patra, we are working towards a future where no
child’s education is hindered by hunger.”

Shridhar
Venkat, CEO of The Akshaya Patra Foundation, added, “This milestone is a
testament to what sustained collaboration can achieve. Deutsche Bank’s
consistent support has enabled us to strengthen our operations, ensuring that
nutritious meals reach children reliably every school day. He further said, “I
want to thank Deutsche Bank and the Government of India for placing their trust
in us. This collaboration is an apt example of the power of the Public-Private
Partnership (PPP) model in creating a robust system to address socioeconomic
challenges at a scale.”

Despite
progress, classroom hunger and malnutrition remain barriers for children from
economically weaker sections. The PM POSHAN scheme plays a critical role in
combating these challenges, and partnerships like that of Deutsche Bank and
Akshaya Patra complement national efforts by combining institutional support
with efficient on-ground implementation.

Both
organisations reaffirmed their commitment to expanding the programme’s reach
and impact- ensuring that more children are nourished, educated, and empowered
to realise their full potential.

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/how-to-become-a-technosport-retailer-using-the-technodirect-b2b-app</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India’s
activewear category is evolving rapidly, driven by rising fitness adoption, gym
culture, and everyday athleisure wear. At the centre of this growth is Technosport,
which has built a strong presence across performance wear and everyday fitness
apparel. To support its expanding retail network, the brand has introduced Technodirect,
India’s leading B2B store for activewear, designed to make buying,
replenishment, and scaling simpler for business partners.

India’s
Leading B2B Store for Activewear

Technodirect
is Technosport’s dedicated B2B buying app, created exclusively for retailers,
distributors, and business partners. The platform digitises the entire buying
journey, enabling partners to start shopping for their business in just three
straightforward steps, bringing speed, transparency, and efficiency to the
wholesale experience.

Step
1: Create an Account

Retailers
can begin by registering on the Technodirect app. The process involves
submitting basic business details such as store information and contact
credentials. This initial step opens the door to Technosport’s official B2B
ecosystem, built to support partners across markets and formats.

Step
2: Complete KYC

Once
registered, partners are required to complete a simple KYC verification. This
includes verifying business credentials such as GSTIN or Udyam registration.
The process ensures a secure, compliant, and transparent environment for all
stakeholders operating on the platform.

Step
3: Start Ordering

After
verification, retailers gain access to Technosport’s complete product
portfolio. Through the Technodirect app, partners can browse products, check
live inventory, view updated pricing and schemes, and place bulk orders
seamlessly. Orders can be tracked end to end, from placement to delivery,
reducing manual coordination and paperwork.

More
Than Just an Ordering App

Technodirect
goes beyond basic procurement. By connecting retailers directly to
Technosport’s distribution network, the platform ensures faster order
processing, better stock visibility, and efficient fulfilment. Retailers
benefit from real-time updates, simplified replenishment, and the ability to
focus on sales and customer engagement rather than backend operations.

By
digitising the B2B buying journey, Technosport is building a more connected,
transparent, and scalable retail ecosystem, one that empowers partners to grow
alongside the brand.

A
Smarter Way to Grow in Activewear

As
competition intensifies in India’s activewear space, retailers are increasingly
looking for brands that combine strong consumer demand with operational ease.
With Technodirect, Technosport offers a clear, structured, and tech-led pathway
for retailers to join and grow within the brand’s network.

For
businesses looking to tap into the activewear opportunity, becoming a
Technosport retailer through the Technodirect B2B app makes getting started,
and scaling, simpler than ever.

<title>Sigachi Industries aims to increase Revenue Potential by INR 250 cr Commencing from Q427</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad,
January 23, 2026 : Sigachi Industries Ltd. (NSE: SIGACHI; BSE: 543389),
a leading Indian pharmaceutical company, today announced a significant
milestone in its research and development pipeline with the successful
advancement of a new Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
(APIs) combination comprising Vanzacaftor, Tezacaftor, and Deutivacaftor. 

The
development marks an important step in Sigachi’s strategic focus on expanding
its presence in complex, high-value specialty APIs, aligned with global demand
for advanced therapies in rare and chronic disease segments. 

The
global cystic fibrosis therapeutics market is estimated to exceed USD 10
billion, driven by growing adoption of next-generation modulator therapies,
long-term treatment requirements, and strong pricing resilience. Against this
backdrop, Sigachi’s entry into CF APIs positions the Company in a structurally
strong and innovation-led therapeutic segment with long-term demand visibility.


Based
on internal market assessment and strategic evaluation, the Company is actively
exploring strategic collaborations with formulation innovators for R&amp;D and
future commercial supply of these CF APIs. Subject to successful partnerships
and market progression, the Company estimates a revenue potential of
approximately ₹250 crore per annum commencing from Q4 FY2026–27, making this
portfolio a meaningful growth driver. 

Commenting
on the development, Lijo Chacko, Deputy Group CEO, Sigachi Industries
Limited, said, “This milestone reflects Sigachi’s focused strategy of
building depth in complex and differentiated APIs with long-term growth
visibility. Our continued investments in R&amp;D and partnerships are aimed at
strengthening our position in high-entry-barrier specialty segments and
creating sustainable value for stakeholders.”

The
CF API combination involves advanced chemistry, multi-step synthesis, and
specialised reactions, resulting in high technological complexity and
significant barriers to entry, thereby limiting competitive intensity and
reinforcing Sigachi’s capabilities in complex API manufacturing. 

Further
strengthening long-term visibility, the innovator patent protection for
Vanzacaftor extends until 2039, providing sustained collaboration-led
commercial opportunity and revenue stability within the cystic fibrosis
therapeutic space. 

Sigachi
Industries continues to focus on strengthening its core businesses while
selectively scaling innovation-driven, high-value opportunities aligned with
its long-term growth strategy.

<description><![CDATA[ Strengthens
National Presence to 24 Stores, with 14 Across Delhi NCR

New Delhi, 23rd Jan. 2026 : iNvent, an Apple-authorised premium reseller powered by P3S
Ventures Pvt. Ltd., announced the opening of its largest experiential store in
the country, located at Pitampura, New Delhi. With this launch, iNvent
continues to strengthen its footprint across India, with 24 stores nationwide
and 14 stores across Delhi NCR. Spanning 3,833 sq. ft., the new Apple Premium
Partner Store in Pitampura is purpose-built to spotlight Apple products, the
power of the ecosystem, and the possibilities they unlock for everyday life,
learning, and work.

Located at First Floor, Unity One Elegante Mall, Shop No-02,
Pitampura, Delhi, the store reflects Apple-inspired minimalism with an open,
spacious layout that puts products front and centre. Intelligent traffic flow,
dedicated thematic zones, hands-on demo areas, and personalised assistance
desks create a calm, intuitive environment where customers can explore,
compare, and understand how Apple devices work seamlessly together.

An Experiential Store, Designed Around People

Unlike traditional authorised retail formats focused primarily
on demand fulfilment, iNvent’s experiential store is built for engagement and
discovery. Customers are encouraged to spend time with products, experience
real-world use cases, and learn from Apple-trained specialists through:

●       
Hands-on demo zones across
iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and accessories

●       
Live ecosystem experiences that
showcase continuity, productivity, and creativity

●       
Consultation and setup areas for
assisted buying, data transfer, activation, and onboarding

●       
Integrated after-sales service,
enabling quicker resolution and a more seamless ownership journey

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Swarn Bajaj, Founder and CEO,
iNvent, said, “Premium tech retail in India is evolving rapidly and
moving beyond transactions to immersive experiences. At iNvent, our vision is
to build spaces where people can truly understand technology, not just buy it.
This store represents our belief that consumers today expect more. More
clarity, more guidance, and more value from their retail experience. As
aspirations rise and premiumisation reaches a wider audience, we will continue
to expand thoughtfully, across geographies and formats by investing in experience-led
retail that brings the Apple ecosystem closer to people’s lives.”

A range of opening offers, including attractive EMI options,
trade-in benefits, and bank-led promotions will be available for a limited
period. These offers are designed to lower entry barriers for first-time
premium buyers, support planned upgrades, and enable customers to choose the
right Apple products with confidence, without compromising on experience or
value.

Overview of key offers on top-selling products:

According to Mr. Bajaj, Pitampura has been a strategic market
for iNvent for over 14 years, with the catchment consistently growing at over
20% year-on-year. The area combines a dense student population driven by nearby
educational institutions with a strong base of small and medium businesses
seeking productivity-led technology solutions, making Apple’s portfolio a
natural fit. Despite this demand, North and North-West Delhi have seen limited
high-quality premium retail developments, presenting a clear opportunity for
iNvent’s largest experiential format.

As premium technology becomes more accessible through flexible
affordability options and rising consumer awareness, iNvent’s new Pitampura
store is designed to make the moment of purchase something to savour; an
informed, assisted, and celebratory experience for individuals and families
alike. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ January 22, 2026 – New Delhi,
India : Kafe Group Vietnam, the
pioneering Vietnamese urban fusion cafe chain, today announced a strategic $1.2
million investment in Momos Pro, Delhi
NCR&#039;s leading wholesale momos supplier and momos factory based in Noida. 

This landmark cross-border
investment represents one of the largest Vietnamese food sector investments in
India&#039;s frozen food market, coming as India opens its food and beverage sector
to 100% foreign investment. The partnership will transform Momos Pro&#039;s
operations across Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad markets. 

Strategic Partnership Drives Expansion 

The investment enables Momos
Pro, operating from its state-of-the-art momos factory in Sector 63, Noida, to
double production capacity from 50,000 to 100,000 pieces daily. This expansion
strengthens the company&#039;s position as the region&#039;s premier wholesale momos
supplier in Delhi NCR and readymade frozen momos manufacturer. 

&quot;This partnership
represents a transformative moment for Momos Pro,&quot; said Sachin Panwar
&amp; Sunny Tomar,  founder of Momos Pro.
&quot;Vietnamese expertise in urban fusion cuisine, combined with our manufacturing
capabilities, creates unprecedented opportunities to scale across India and
Southeast Asia.&quot; 

Proven Vietnamese Food Innovation 

Kafe Group , pioneered Vietnam&#039;s
first urban fusion cafe chain before strategic restructuring. The company&#039;s
experience scaling multiple food brands brings valuable operational expertise. 

Despite home market challenges,
Kafe Group&#039;s track record in securing $5.5 million Series D funding from Xing
Investments demonstrates its appeal to sophisticated Asian food sector
investors. 

Massive Market Opportunity 

India&#039;s frozen food market,
particularly wholesale momos suppliers, has experienced explosive growth driven
by urbanization and demand for convenient Asian cuisine. Delhi NCR,
encompassing Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad, represents the
fastest-growing readymade frozen momos market with restaurants and food service
operators seeking reliable suppliers. 

Momos Pro&#039;s competitive
advantages include FSSAI-certified manufacturing, automated production systems,
and over 80 varieties of momos and spring rolls. Competitive pricing starting
at Rs. 4.5 with free delivery has made it the preferred momos factory partner
across the region. 

Strategic Investment Deployment 

The $1.2 million investment will
be deployed across key areas: 

Production Scaling: Doubling
manufacturing capacity to meet growing wholesale momos demand across Delhi NCR.


Cold Chain Infrastructure:
Expanding refrigerated storage and distribution for Wholesale Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad markets. 

Product Innovation: Leveraging
Vietnamese culinary expertise to develop fusion flavors while maintaining
authentic taste profiles. 

Market Penetration:
Strengthening distribution networks in the competitive wholesale momos supplier
in Delhi segment. 

India-Vietnam Economic Cooperation 

This investment aligns with
strengthening India-Vietnam economic ties, with bilateral trade reaching $15
billion in 2024. Vietnamese companies increasingly view India as strategic for
expansion, particularly in food processing. 

India&#039;s 100% foreign direct
investment policy in food and beverage, combined with streamlined work permits,
creates favorable conditions for international partnerships. The government&#039;s
commitment to &quot;speedy and easy&quot; work permits directly benefits
alliances like Kafe Group-Momos Pro. 

Regional Impact and Employment 

Expanded operations will create
over 200 new jobs across manufacturing, quality control, logistics, and sales
in Delhi NCR. This benefits Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad industrial
corridors while supporting Make in India initiatives. 

Momos Pro&#039;s local sourcing
commitment ensures positive impacts throughout regional agricultural and food
supply ecosystems. 

Technology Integration 

The partnership integrates Kafe
Group&#039;s multi-brand operations experience with Momos Pro&#039;s advanced automated
manufacturing. Current facilities feature cutting-edge machinery for consistent
quality while reducing labor dependence. 

Future innovations include
AI-powered inventory management, real-time quality monitoring, and advanced
packaging for enhanced readymade frozen momos customer experience. 

Market Leadership Position 

Momos Pro dominates the
wholesale momos supplier market across Delhi NCR cities with specialized
services for Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad. Strong relationships
with restaurants, cafes, and catering services position the company for
continued growth. 

Future Expansion Plans 

While focusing on Delhi NCR
market leadership, the Kafe Group Vietnam partnership opens opportunities for
expansion into other Indian markets and potential Southeast Asian exports. This
leverages Vietnam&#039;s food export po ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

In an era where businesses are overwhelmed by complex
productivity software, TaskOPad continues to stand out as a simple,
affordable, and effective task management platform, purpose-built for
Indian businesses.

Launched in 2022, TaskOPad
is already trusted by 15,000+ users across India, helping organisations
improve team coordination, accountability, and productivity—without the
complexity commonly associated with enterprise tools.

ALL FEATURES FOR ALL USERS – NO HIDDEN RESTRICTIONS

Unlike most global task management platforms that restrict
features based on module-based or tiered subscriptions, TaskOPad follows
a user-based subscription model where every user gets access to all
features.

“We believe task management, reporting, workflows, and
collaboration are essential for every team member—not premium add-ons,” said a
TaskOPad spokesperson.

This approach removes performance limitations often caused
by locked modules and ensures consistent productivity across teams.

COMPREHENSIVE YET EASY-TO-USE FEATURE SET

TaskOPad offers a complete task and work management
ecosystem, including:

Core Features

While many tools attempt to combine ERP, HRMS, sales
tracking, and finance systems into one platform, TaskOPad consciously
avoids over-engineering.

The result is a clean, intuitive interface that even
non-technical users can adopt without training barriers.

Proven Productivity Impact: 27% Performance Improvement

Through regular client surveys and usage analysis, TaskOPad
has identified an average 27% improvement in team performance among its
business users.

This improvement is driven by:


 Clear
     task ownership
 Reduced
     follow-ups
 Better
     workflow visibility
 Faster
     execution cycles

     bots


Additionally, if a user becomes inactive for 10 days,
the TaskOPad team proactively reaches out to:


 Understand
     challenges
 Provide
     guided onboarding
 Help
     teams restart usage effectively

<description><![CDATA[  

Bengaluru,
January 22, 2025 : B L Kashyap &amp; Sons Ltd. (BLK) has
reinforced its commitment to sports development as Roots Football Club, supported
by BLK as a CSR partner, was recognised at the first-ever Karnataka State
Football Association (KSFA) Annual Awards 2024–25 for its outstanding
contribution to football development in the state. The recognition reflects the
progress achieved by the club through sustained institutional support focused
on structured youth and women’s football development over the past three years.

Roots
Football Club was conferred with the Best Youth Development Club and Best
Football Academy honours, while Ura Dimri was named Emerging Player of the Year
(Women), marking a significant milestone for the club’s women’s football
programme.

Commenting
on the recognition, Ms. Shruti Kashyap Choudhari, Director, B L Kashyap &amp;
Sons Ltd. said, “Our association with Roots Football Club has been built on the
belief that young players need continuity and structure to progress beyond the
youth level. At BL Kashyap, we believe that the true measure of impact lies in
creating long-term opportunity, and this partnership reflects a shared
commitment to using sport as a platform for social transformation whether it is
enabling young players to continue competitive football beyond the age of 18,
or supporting women to pursue sport as a viable profession. The recognition at
the KSFA Awards is encouraging, but more importantly, it reinforces our belief
that sustained investment in grassroots ecosystems can create impact far beyond
the field.”

The
awards ceremony was hosted by Mr. N. A. Harris, President – KSFA and Vice
President – AIFF, and was attended by leading figures from Indian football,
including Mr. Sunil Chhetri, former Indian national team captain; Mr. Kalyan
Chaubey, President – AIFF; Mr. M. Satyanarayan, Deputy Secretary – AIFF; and
Dr. K. Govindaraj, President – Karnataka Olympic Association, underscoring the
importance of the initiative in strengthening grassroots football across
Karnataka.

In
addition to the wins, Roots FC received nominations across key categories
including Best Club Management, Fair Play Award, and Best Women’s Club.
Individual nominations were also secured by team members, including Coach of
the Year – Men, Youth Player of the Year, and Emerging Player of the Year –
Men, reflecting the depth and consistency of the club’s development model.

Over
the past three years, BLK’s CSR partnership with Roots Football Club has
supported both the women’s team and the senior men’s division, creating
continuity beyond the youth level. In the senior men’s team, over 60% of
players come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and the support has
enabled them to continue competitive football post-18 while pursuing structured
professional pathways.

Beyond
performance outcomes, the partnership has allowed women athletes to pursue
football as a viable profession and earn an income from the sport. This has
contributed to greater acceptance and long-term support for women’s
participation in football within families and communities, with the impact
extending beyond the field.

<title>How Argent’s 30&amp;Day Test Is Setting a New Standard in Everyday Jewellery</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

In a market shaped by trends and rapid launches,
jewellery is often designed to impress at first glance. Argent is taking a quieter, more deliberate approach—one that
asks a far more demanding question: Is this a piece someone would genuinely
want to wear every day?

This question forms the foundation of what the
brand calls its 30-Day Test. Before any design is released, it must
prove that it can be worn comfortably, confidently, and consistently for thirty
days straight. If a piece feels intrusive, impractical, or unsuited to daily
life at any point during that period, it simply does not make it to launch.

In the increasingly crowded space of minimal
silver jewellery, this philosophy sets Argent apart—not through aesthetics
alone, but through intent.

A Life That Inspired Continuity

Founded by the wife of an armed forces officer,
Argent is shaped by a life defined by movement. Frequent relocations, changing
cities, and unfamiliar routines created a deep appreciation for the few things
that remain constant through change.

In such a lifestyle, jewellery cannot be
occasional or fragile. It must be reliable, comfortable, and adaptable enough
to move seamlessly from one phase of life to another. Over time, silver emerged
as the natural choice—durable, versatile, and present in everyday routines across regions and
cultures.

The 30-Day Test grew organically from this lived
experience. It reflects a belief that jewellery should integrate into daily
life quietly, rather than demand attention or special handling.

What the 30-Day Test Stands For

The 30-Day Test is intentionally simple and
human. It is not about laboratory conditions or ideal styling scenarios, but
about real wear.

For a piece to pass, it must feel comfortable
from morning to night. It should not require constant adjustment, feel heavy on
the skin, or interrupt the wearer’s routine. It must hold up through workdays,
commutes, travel, and long hours. Most importantly, it must remain something
the wearer chooses again the next day.

If a design fails on comfort, durability, or
ease, it is refined or dropped entirely.

In an industry often focused on how jewellery
photographs, Argent focuses on how it lives.

Designed to Stay

Argent creates modern, minimal 92.5 silver
jewellery intended for daily wear without waiting for an occasion. In addition
to being a BIS-certified brand, Argent follows a ‘Made in India’ approach and
ensures ethical manufacturing of its 925 hallmarked products that are nickel,
lead, and cadmium free. These fundamentals support prolonged wear, ensuring
safety, comfort, and longevity.

Rather than encouraging seasonal rotation,
Argent designs pieces meant to stay, jewellery that becomes part of a person’s
everyday presence rather than something brought out occasionally.

This approach also shapes how customers interact
with the brand. Many pieces become constants and are worn through workdays,
travels, routines, and milestones, quietly accumulating personal significance
over time.

Marking the Launch

To mark its launch, Argent is offering up to 40%
discount across select pieces, inviting wearers to experience jewellery
designed to integrate seamlessly into daily life. 

The launch collection showcases Argent’s
approach to modern silver: clean, minimal designs created to pass the 30-Day
Test, comfortable enough for daily wear, durable enough to last, and versatile
enough to remain relevant across changing styles and routines.

Rather than positioning jewellery as a one-time
purchase tied to a specific occasion, Argent encourages customers to choose
pieces they can grow with, jewellery that settles naturally into everyday life
and gradually becomes personal through use.

The launch offer serves as an invitation to
experience this philosophy firsthand, allowing wearers to build a relationship
with pieces designed to stay present through routines, milestones, and
transitions alike. For the readers of this article, Argent is providing a
special coupon code - LAUNCH30DT which can be applied at the checkout
for a flat 15% additional discount. 

Redefining Everyday Jewellery

In a world that equates luxury with novelty and
change, Argent offers a different definition - one rooted in continuity. The
30-Day Test ensures that every piece earns its place through comfort,
durability, and relevance to real life.

By designing jewellery meant to be worn
repeatedly and lived in fully, Argent is redefining everyday silver not as a
trend, but as a constant.

It is a reminder
that the pieces people hold onto the longest are rarely the loudest. They are
the ones that stay through movement, growth, and the many ordinary moments that
eventually become memories.

<title>Sara’s Wholesome Food Is Changing the Way India Feeds Its Pets</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/saras-wholesome-food-is-changing-the-way-india-feeds-its-pets</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/saras-wholesome-food-is-changing-the-way-india-feeds-its-pets</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ “Like every Indian mother, I used to feed
my Hershey [dog] ghar ki daal-roti, thinking it was a complete meal. Around the
time she turned 3, we noticed she had started licking her paws. Then we
consulted the vet, who told us it was a gluten allergy. And roti was the
main culprit.”

– Meenakshi Goel, Pet Parent

It’s a truth universally known, that a
pet parent with a dog who is their family, must be in search of dog food that’s healthy and complete. But Indian
pet parents take it a step further. They look for pet food that’s not only
nourishing, but also worthy of their trust: made with fresh ingredients, no
harmful preservatives, zero chemicals, and nothing heavily processed.

In short: Indian pet parents won’t give
their pets anything that they wouldn’t trust.

With this in mind, it’s not surprising
that over 90% of Indian pet parents feed their pets home-cooked food,
ranging from daal-roti to dahi-rice, made fresh with ingredients they pick themselves.
And while cooking for family is a sentiment rooted in love, it doesn’t
guarantee complete, balanced, or even appropriate nutrition for pets.

As Meenakshi discovered, home-cooked
food, especially when not made to meet the nutritional needs of dogs, can
trigger allergies, cause nutritional deficiencies, and eventually, long-term
health concerns that often go unnoticed at first.

And that leaves the question unanswered
once again: What’s the best food you can give to your pet that’s not only
scientifically made to suit their health, but also made with the same honesty,
care, and transparency you expect from your own food?

This very question led a pet parent from
Delhi in search of trustworthy food for her dog, Sara. And when the pet food
market continued to disappoint her with options that were incomplete, impure,
and imbalanced, Rashi Narang, founder of Heads Up For Tails, resolved to come
up with her own answer. 

She started with a team of canine
nutritionists who formulated a recipe specially for dogs. Farm-fresh
ingredients were sourced, each with a specific purpose and benefit. These
ingredients were then cooked in small batches and the meal was kept fresh
without any preservatives or chemicals.

This is how Sara’s Wholesome Food was born, and with it began a movement toward better,
more thoughtful pet nutrition in India that’s already 5,00,000+ pet parents
strong.

“Bella is a very picky eater and also
struggles with a sensitive tummy. We’ve tried different dog foods across the
board but nothing had worked for us until we found Sara’s!”

– Sonalika Agargwal, Pet Parent

In addition to being a reliable choice
for pet parents, Sara’s Wholesome Food has steadily earned the trust and
recommendations of vets across the country.

“Making food at home for dogs can be
tough. You will need to find the right balance of protein, healthy fats, and
vitamins. Now there’s a new option in the market called retort-packed food,
that’s made by specialists. Sara’s Wholesome Ready-Made Food is a great option
because it’s scientifically made.”

– Dr. SK Pandey, Senior Veterinarian

“So many pet parents ask me if vegetarian
food is good for their dogs, if they can give homemade food. If it has the
right amount of protein, I say, why not?! Sara’s Wholesome takes that guesswork
out of the equation!”

– Dr. Mayank Chaudhary, Veterinarian

Whether it was Rashi’s heartfelt story of
loving her dog to the point of invention, or HUFT’s credibility as a trusted
pet nutrition brand that moved pet parents to choose scientifically-made fresh
food over home cooking, one thing is clear: in just 2 years, Sara’s Wholesome
Food has changed the way India feeds its pets.

It replaced nutritional guesswork with
expert formulation.

Complete and balanced recipes by canine
nutritionists, delivering essential nutrients that home-cooked meals often
miss.

It made ingredients visible and
trustworthy.

Real meats, vegetables, and Indian
superfoods you can actually see. No fillers, no mystery ingredients, just
honest food that builds trust at first glance.

It brought human-grade standards to pet
nutrition.

Gently cooked in HUFT’s state-of-the-art
kitchen designed specifically for pet food, not mass-production lines.

It eliminated harmful additives entirely.

0% preservatives, fillers, thickeners,
colors, or artificial ingredients. As close as it can get to nature.

It introduced natural variety and
rotation.

10+ complete recipes, including
grain-free, Biryani, and novel proteins, that make rotation simple and deliver
the health benefits of natural variety.

Most importantly, it gave pet parents
confidence without compromise.

For the first time, Indian pet parents
didn&#039;t have to choose between what&#039;s convenient and what&#039;s complete. They could
finally feed their pets food that&#039;s scientifically backed, transparently made,
and rooted in the same care they bring to their own meals.

<description><![CDATA[ With this launch, Muthoot FinCorp Ltd. bets
on a phygital model by bringing loans, investments, insurance, and payments
onto one app, backed by its 3750+ branch network

Jan.
21, 2025, Indian: Muthoot FinCorp Ltd. (Muthoot Blue) has
announced its evolution into a full-scale financial services marketplace,
integrating loans, investments, savings, payments, and insurance with its
digital platform, Muthoot FinCorp ONE.


This
move marks a significant digital expansion for the Muthoot Pappachan Group
(MPG), a 138-year-old financial services group, aimed at deepening financial
inclusion and offering consumers a unified experience across financial services
products.

The
Muthoot FinCorp ONE platform operates on a phygital model, combining Muthoot
FinCorp’s physical reach of over 3750+ branches across 19,000 pin codes
with the digital convenience of an all-in-one financial platform. It currently
has over 2 million monthly active users, enabling customers to access
multiple services including loans, investments, insurance, and payments all
within one app.

“Consumers
no longer want fragmented financial journeys. A loan from one provider,
insurance from another, payments through a third, it’s cumbersome,” said Chandan
Khaitan, CEO, Muthoot FinCorp ONE. “That’s why we have built Muthoot
FinCorp ONE, a single platform, that brings together loans, investments,
insurance, and payments, in partnership with leading banks and NBFCs, to serve
every financial need in one trusted ecosystem.” 

He
further added, &quot;Our focus is on deepening engagement and strengthening
partnerships to deliver a more integrated experience across our app and branch
touchpoints.”

Today
India’s access to formal finance continues to lag despite rapid economic
growth. Nearly 500 million adults remain outside the formal credit
system, often turning to unregulated sources. With 45% of Muthoot FinCorp’s
customers being new-to-credit, the company is positioning its phygital
marketplace as a bridge between aspiration and accessibility, designed to bring
regulated, affordable financial solutions to the underserved.

Muthoot
FinCorp ONE’s financial marketplace platform is built on in-house products and
partnerships with leading financial institutions such as SBI Cards, Bajaj
Finance, Axis Bank, IDFC Bank, Tata Capital and
more, expanding both product variety and customer reach.

Muthoot FinCorp ONE marketplace will continue to expand its suite of offerings
through both in-house products and partnerships with leading banks, NBFCs, and
fintechs.

<description><![CDATA[  Mumbai, India (Jan 21,
2026) : India’s rapid push
toward a digitally powered economy has created an urgent need for talent that
can work confidently with AI. However, the supply of skilled professionals
isn’t keeping pace with demand, widening the talent gap. Aiming to bridge this
divide through academic-industry collaboration, SAS, a global leader in data
and AI, has partnered with Jaypee Business School (JBS) to launch a specialized
postgraduate program - MBA in AI &amp; Data Science - designed to prepare industry-ready
professionals for India’s fast-evolving digital and analytics-led ecosystem.

 

This collaboration brings
together SAS’s industry-leading analytics and AI capabilities with Jaypee
Business School’s strong academic foundation to deliver a curriculum that
blends theory with hands-on, real-world application. The program is set to
equip students with the skills required to drive data-led decision-making,
enterprise analytics, and AI-enabled business transformation.

 

Under the partnership, students
will gain hands-on access to SAS software through structured lab sessions and
capstone projects, along with opportunities to earn globally recognized SAS
certifications. The program also offers exposure to practical business
challenges through internships, workshops, and guest lectures delivered by SAS
experts. In addition, the collaboration will enable joint research initiatives
in artificial intelligence and machine learning, fostering innovation and
deeper academic–industry engagement.

 

Prof. Anubha Vashisht, Director
of Jaypee Business School, said, “This collaboration enables the integration of
globally recognized SAS tools and platforms into the curriculum, ensuring
strong practical exposure. Students benefit from hands-on learning, real-world
business case applications, and access to SAS certifications including global
certifications. The tie-up bridges the gap between management education and
advanced data-driven decision-making, significantly enhancing students’
employability and preparing them for leadership roles in the AI- and
analytics-driven economy”.

 

Bhuvan Nijhawan, Senior Director
– Education, SAS Asia Pacific, added, “Organizations today need professionals
who can move seamlessly from data to decisions and apply agentic thinking in

<title>DevX Accelerates National Expansion Through First&amp;Of&amp;Its&amp;Kind &amp;apos;Landowner First&amp;apos; Development Management Model Unlocks 8.6 Lakh Sq. Ft. Of Premium Workspace</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/devx-accelerates-national-expansion-through-first-of-its-kind-landowner-first-development-management-model-unlocks-86-lakh-sq-ft-of-premium-workspace</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The model has enabled rapid
growth across Mumbai, Hyderabad and Tier II hubs, delivering up to 30% higher
returns to landowner partners compared to traditional models

Ahmedabad (Gujarat), 21st
January 2025 : Dev Accelerator
Limited (NSE: DEVX; BSE: 544513), one of India’s
leading enterprise-focused managed office space providers, continues to scale
and create value through its strategic Development Management (DM) model. This
innovative framework has propelled the company’s footprint to over 8.6 lakh
square feet of operational space across 28 centers. The company reported INR
1780 Mn in revenue for FY 25, a major shift in how commercial real estate
assets are developed and monetized in India.

 

Moving beyond traditional Joint
Development Agreements (JDAs) where land titles are often split, the DevX DM
model empowers landowners to retain 100% ownership and control of their assets.
This approach has been instrumental in the company’s expansion into major
metros like Mumbai and Hyderabad, as well as high growth Tier II cities
including Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Udaipur, Indore, and Surat. Clients like
Zomato, Manubhai &amp; Shah, Wipfli, Paperchase &amp; Co. and Persistent
Systems have taken up spaces with DevX across multiple cities. 

 

By stepping in as a strategic
partner rather than just a developer, DevX manages the entire project lifecycle
end to end. This includes feasibility studies, design, government approvals,
construction monitoring and final leasing. 

 

Speaking on the success of the
model, Mr. Umesh Uttamchandani, Managing Director, Dev Accelerator
Limited, said, “At the heart of our strategy is the Development
Management model, designed to bridge the gap between non-institutional
landowners and the growing demand for institutional-grade office assets. We are
witnessing a clear shift in landowners increasingly seeking professional
partners who can unlock the full value of their land without diluting
ownership. Our model delivers exactly that - offering real-time
digital visibility across the development lifecycle and a success-linked fee
structure that aligns interests from day one. This collaborative approach
allows us to scale rapidly while delivering premium, ready to move workspaces
for our enterprise clients.”

 

The DM model addresses critical
market challenges such as capital availability and complex regulatory
compliance by leveraging DevX&#039;s institutional grade processes and funding
networks. For landowners, this partnership translates into superior financial
outcomes, offering 20% to 30% higher overall returns by saving on stamp duty
costs and generating additional income streams.

 

DevX differentiates itself
through a &quot;supply led&quot; and &quot;demand led&quot; approach, where 70%
of its portfolio caters to large enterprise clients with long term needs. The
company’s in house expertise covers every aspect of development. This includes
&quot;Phi Designs&quot; for interior solutions and dedicated teams for project
management and leasing. This integrated capability ensures that projects are
completed within strict timelines, often transforming visions into fully
furnished offices within 75 to 90 days.

 

As India’s real estate sector
matures with better consultants and enhanced transparency, the demand for
professional development management is rising. DevX is well positioned to lead
this transformation, having already secured an additional 7.2 lakh square feet
in signed agreements. The company remains committed to building vibrant
communities and sustainable assets that generate long term value for all
stakeholders.

 

About Dev Accelerator Limited

 

Dev Accelerator Limited is an
enterprise focused, full solution managed workspace platform. We design, build
and operate custom offices end to end covering site selection, bespoke fit
outs, technology integration and facility management under a single SLA.

global corporations with collaborative, customizable work environments across
the country. The company operates 28 centres across multiple Indian cities with

<description><![CDATA[   

MyHome Group, one of South
India’s most trusted real estate developers, has officially marked a major
milestone by expanding beyond its home market of Hyderabad. The Group has
forayed into Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai, committing
approximately ₹4,100 crore across these key metropolitan markets in
a remarkably short period of time.

 

The newly acquired and partnered
projects across these cities together offer a development potential of
approximately 46.6 million square feet, translating into a cumulative Gross
Development Value (GDV) of nearly ₹37,500 crore. This strategic expansion
underscores MyHome’s ambition to build a pan-India presence while staying true
to its core values of quality, scale, and long-term value creation.

 

With a legacy spanning over 4
decades, MyHome Group has firmly established itself as a market leader in key
sectors including  real estate development, construction, Cement ,
Power, and Education in Hyderabad, having delivered 80+
million sq. ft. of construction area to date. An
additional 40+ million sq. ft. of built-up area is currently under
construction, while over 50 million sq. ft. of built-up area
remains in the planning pipeline, reflecting the Group’s robust growth
trajectory and execution capabilities.

 

Commenting on this
expansion, Mr. Abhishek Kapoor, CEO, MyHome Group, said:
“We have achieved this scale and diversification in a very short span of
time under the able leadership of second-generation entrepreneurs Mr.
Ramu Rao Jupally and Mr. Shyam Rao Jupally, guided by the visionary
leadership of our Chairman, Mr. Rameswar Rao Jupally. This
expansion is a natural progression of our long-term strategy to build
high-quality, large-scale developments across India’s most important real
estate markets.”

 

The entry into Mumbai, Bengaluru
and Chennai marks the beginning of MyHome Group’s next phase of growth, as it
seeks to replicate its Hyderabad success story across India’s leading urban
centres. ]]></description>

<title>Titan Showcases ‘Chambers of Time’ at India Watch Weekend 2026 Charting India’s Global Horological Ascent through Artistry and Innovation</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/titan-showcases-chambers-of-time-at-india-watch-weekend-2026-charting-indias-global-horological-ascent-through-artistry-and-innovation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  



Mumbai, January 20, 2026 :  Stories of philosophy, artistry, and
engineering converged as Titan Watches opened the doors to the Titan
Chambers of Time at the India Watch Weekend (IWW) 2026. Across
two days, the India Watch Weekend convened global and Indian watchmaking voices
from established maisons to industry institutions and collectors fostering
discovery, dialogue and shared experiences. Within this setting, Chambers of
Time was conceived as a declaration of intent, articulated through a
museum-inspired curatorial lens that established Titan’s horological point of
view with clarity and authority. Anchored in four decades of Indian watchmaking
and aligned with the world’s leading horological benchmarks, the narrative
traced a considered evolution of design, technical depth and craftsmanship,
positioning Titan as a leading voice shaping India’s place in contemporary global
horology.

 

Within this setting, the Chambers
of Time advanced from presentation to interpretation, unfolding as a composed
narrative sequence that highlighted enduring pillars of Titan’s Watchmaking
journey: Origins to Mastery, drawing from heritage and
mechanical excellence; and India to the World,
expressing scale and global artistry.

 

The experience opened at the
Titan Wall, where past and possibility met in quiet conversation. More than a
timeline of timepieces, it revealed the story of generations of watchmakers,
engineers, and designers bound by patience, precision and pride. Together, they
have shaped a living lineage of craft, and shared mastery, refined over
decades, that continues to carry Titan’s horological legacy forward with
continuity and conviction.


For those fascinated by the inner workings of time, India to the World
offered a rare glimpse behind the dial. Original sketches and movement
components under a magnifying glass, showcased the discipline and precision
that underpin Titan’s watchmaking. From the Red Dot Design Award-winning
creations to the architectural feat of the Titan Edge, the display
celebrated the relentless pursuit of slimming down time to its most elegant
form.

 

The narrative reached its apex in
Titan’s evolution into haute horology anchored by India’s First Wandering Hours
timepiece and the Ice Meteorite by Titan Stellar, which translated
celestial inspiration into tangible form.  The progression continued with
the latest from Titan Edge Fumage, Nebula Genesis and Raga Silvers,
extending the dialogue around material innovation and movement complexity.
Collectively, these timepieces embodied an Indian vision, confidently realised
for the world, and marked a decisive expansion of Titan Watches’ horological
language.

 

The soulful resonance of the
live music performance added to the rhythm of the weekend lending an
atmosphere that invited visitors to pause and engage more deeply with the
design and detail.

 

Reflecting on the weekend,
Aparna Ravi, Marketing Head - Titan Watches at Titan Company Ltd., said, “The ‘Chambers of Time’ is our manifesto of
mastery. We belief that Titan’s engineering and design philosophy are ready to
take their place on the global horological stage. Looking ahead, we see this as
the beginning of a longer journey one where Titan contributes meaningfully to
the future of fine watchmaking through complications, craftsmanship, and a
distinctly Indian point of view.’’

 

In Chambers of Time,
Titan arrived at a defining moment. A measured shift from evolution to
authorship, and a decisive step into its next horological chapter. ]]></description>

<title>(RE)Introducing Mr. TRU: truTRTL Reinforces Its Promise of True Value with a Mascot and a Manufacturing&amp;First Mindset</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India], January 20 : In an era where the home and kitchen appliance market is crowded with flashy claims, limited-time discounts, and feature-heavy messaging, truTRTL is choosing a quieter, more deliberate path. With the reintroduction of its brand mascot, Mr. TRU, the brand reiterates a philosophy it has stood by since inception: No big claims. Just true value.truTRTL, a growing home and kitchen appliance brand, has anchored its identity around one simple principle—products should do what they are meant to do, consistently, safely, and at a price that makes sense. Mr. TRU, inspired by the turtle, becomes the embodiment of this belief. A timeless symbol of wisdom, patience, and steady progress, the mascot serves as a reminder that the best choices are rarely rushed and that long-term value matters more than short-term excitement.Q: truTRTL has reintroduced its brand mascot, Mr. TRU. What does this represent for the brand?Mr. TRU represents the philosophy that truTRTL has always believed in—true value over noise. Inspired by the turtle, he symbolizes wisdom, patience, and steady progress. In a market full of exaggerated claims and rushed buying decisions, Mr. TRU is a reminder that good choices are thoughtful and long-term. He stands for calm, clarity, and reliability, values that are deeply embedded in how we design, price, and support our products.Q: The brand speaks strongly about “no big claims, just true value.” What does that mean in practical terms?For us, it means resisting the temptation to overpromise. We don’t claim luxury, and we don’t inflate performance metrics to look better on paper. True value is about delivering products that work consistently in real-life conditions. It’s the balance of convenience, safety, durability, and service—all at a fair price. If a product does its job well every day, over years of use, that’s real value.Q: How does truTRTL define value beyond pricing?Price is only one part of the equation. Value comes from how a product fits into daily life. Before launching any product, we ask three core questions: Who will use it? How often will it be used? And what should never go wrong? These questions guide decisions around materials, safety components, feature selection, and design. We prioritize stronger materials where needed, safer components over cheaper options, and features that genuinely help customers rather than just look impressive in marketing.Q: What kind of customers are truTRTL products designed for?Our products are designed for everyday living. That includes households, hostel rooms, rented homes, and first-time buyers. These customers want appliances that are reliable, easy to use, and low on maintenance. From kettles and air fryers to fans and essential kitchen appliances, convenience and safety are non-negotiable. We’re not building aspirational luxury products—we’re building dependable tools for daily use.Q: Many brands rely heavily on discounts to attract customers. How does truTRTL approach pricing?We believe honest pricing builds long-term trust. Instead of cutting corners on quality to reduce costs, we focus on reducing inefficiencies across our supply chain, logistics, and inventory management. This allows us to offer competitively priced products without compromising on safety or durability. Customers should feel they’ve received more than what they paid for—not because of discounts, but because the product genuinely delivers.Q: Service is often overlooked in the appliances category. How important is it for truTRTL?Service is a critical part of our value proposition. A product doesn’t end at the point of sale. We’ve invested in customer support systems that allow faster responses and quicker resolutions across phone, email, website, and WhatsApp. Our focus is simple—when issues arise, we address them efficiently and transparently. A smooth post-purchase experience is essential to building trust.Q: As Co-founder and Director of Collaborations and Manufacturing, what does your role at truTRTL involve?My role is to ensure that what we promise as a brand is delivered at the product level. This includes overseeing manufacturing operations, building strategic collaborations, and maintaining quality and consistency across our portfolio. Manufacturing is where brand trust is actually built. If manufacturing decisions are right, many downstream problems simply don’t occur.Q: You come from a second-generation manufacturing background. How has that shaped your approach?Growing up in a manufacturing environment teaches you discipline, patience, and accountability. You learn early that shortcuts always show up eventually—either in product failures or customer dissatisfaction. That mindset has stayed with me. At truTRTL, we focus on building products that perform consistently over time, not just on day one.Q: What has been one of your most significant professional achievements so far?Scaling manufacturing and distribution simultaneously has been a major ]]></description>

You learn early that shortcuts always show up eventually—either in product failures or customer dissatisfaction. That mindset has stayed with me. At truTRTL, we focus on building products that perform consistently over time, not just on day one.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Q: What has been one of your most significant professional achievements so far?</span><span><br></span><span>Scaling manufacturing and distribution simultaneously has been a major milestone. We currently manage a monthly throughput of around 1.5 lakh units while building a pan-India distribution network covering over 15,000 pin codes and 5,000 retail outlets. Achieving scale without compromising quality reinforced our belief that strong systems and execution make sustainable growth possible.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Q: The home appliances market is highly competitive and fast-changing. How does truTRTL stay relevant?</span><span><br></span><span>We stay closely connected to customer feedback and real usage patterns. Our product decisions are driven by how people actually use appliances, not by trends alone. Being proactive rather than reactive helps us introduce products that are contemporary yet practical. Relevance, for us, comes from usefulness, not novelty.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Q: truTRTL places strong emphasis on the idea of “true value.” What does that mean to you personally?</span><span><br></span><span>True value is about balance. It’s not just about being affordable, and it’s not about being premium either. It’s the combination of quality, safety, durability, and service at a fair price. As a manufacturer, I believe value is created when a product delivers reliably without creating friction for the customer at any stage of ownership.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Q: What role does manufacturing play in building customer trust?</span><span><br></span><span>Manufacturing determines almost everything the customer experiences later. Material choices, safety components, assembly precision—these decisions directly affect performance and longevity. When manufacturing is done right, service issues reduce and trust builds naturally. It’s the foundation of any credible brand.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Q: What is your long-term manufacturing vision for truTRTL?</span><span><br></span><span>Over the next five years, we aim to build or collaborate with manufacturing capacities capable of producing up to 2.5 million units per month across multiple appliance categories. This supports our long-term growth ambitions and aligns with our commitment to Make in India, not just for domestic consumption but also for global markets.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Q: Why is the 18–22 age group an important focus for the brand?</span><span><br></span><span>This is often when people make their first independent purchase decisions. If we deliver strong value at that stage, we earn trust early. The idea is to grow with the customer over time, remaining relevant as their needs and purchasing power evolve.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Q: How do you see truTRTL standing out as customers move toward higher-ticket purchases?</span><span><br></span><span>Consistency builds credibility. If a customer has had a positive experience with an entry-level product, they are far more likely to trust the brand when making a larger purchase later. Loyalty is earned through repeated, reliable experiences.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Q: Beyond business, what keeps you grounded?</span><span><br></span><span>Spending time with family helps maintain balance. I also enjoy playing cricket regularly—it keeps me active and focused. Staying grounded is important when you’re building something for the long term.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Q: You’re also involved in social causes. Why is this important to you?</span><span><br></span><span>Being part of a business ecosystem comes with responsibility.

<title>India’s Long&amp;Haul Travel Goes Electric: Fresh Bus and Exponent Energy Launch the First All&amp;Sleeper Electric Bus Fleet with Rapid Charging</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indias-long-haul-travel-goes-electric-fresh-bus-and-exponent-energy-launch-the-first-all-sleeper-electric-bus-fleet-with-rapid-charging</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indias-long-haul-travel-goes-electric-fresh-bus-and-exponent-energy-launch-the-first-all-sleeper-electric-bus-fleet-with-rapid-charging</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The landmark partnership commits
to 250 electric buses, transforming long-haul routes by enabling quick turnarounds,
making scalable EV operations a commercial reality.

National, India — January 20,
2026 :  Fresh Bus, India’s pioneering all-electric intercity bus service, today
announced a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Exponent Energy,
a Bengaluru-based tech company. This strategic alliance introduces India’s
first rapid-charging, long-range electric intercity bus platform, fundamentally
reimagining intercity mobility by delivering a travel experience that is more
comfortable, sustainable, scalable, and commercially viable across India’s vast
network.

 

This collaboration marks a
pivotal moment for the Indian transportation sector. Fresh Bus is set to become
India’s first and only intercity electric bus operator capable of deploying a
100% all-sleeper EV fleet on long-distance routes, fortified by Exponent
Energy&#039;s superfast charging capabilities. This approach transforms traditional
EV limitations into a competitive advantage for scalable, efficient intercity
operations.

 

Under this comprehensive
partnership, Fresh Bus has committed to deploying up to 250 electric buses,
supported by Exponent Energy’s rapid-charging platform and 1.5 MW charging
infrastructure. Fresh Bus will shortly commence services on the high-demand
Hyderabad–Bengaluru corridor, marking the first phase of a planned pan-India
expansion.

 

Traditionally, intercity electric
buses, often limited to an effective range of around 350 km, faced challenges
with extended charging times. Fresh Bus, in collaboration with Exponent Energy,
has co-designed a comprehensive ecosystem that unlocks unlimited range for EV
buses through en route 15 minute rapid charging.

 

Instead of relying on larger,
heavier, and more expensive battery packs to extend range, Exponent Energy’s
rapid-charging platform enables long-haul operations through robust superfast
charging. This, combined with megawatt-scale charging infra deployment along
highways, enables the buses to effectively have long-range capabilities to
serve even 1,000 km trip routes, while simultaneously allowing rapid turnaround
times between trips. This significantly reduces mid-point charging halts,
enhances passenger experience, ensures faster turnaround times, improved fleet
utilization, and greater service frequency. This makes longer, high-demand
intercity routes operationally viable for electric buses – routes previously
constrained by prolonged charging stops and range limitations – and lowers the
total cost of ownership compared to oversized battery configurations.

 

&quot;This is a systems-level
solution built for real-world intercity operations. Fast charging is inherently
more efficient than simply adding oversized batteries,&quot; said Sudhakar
Chirra, Founder &amp; CEO, Fresh Bus. &quot;After two years of close
collaboration and rigorous joint engineering with Exponent Energy, we’re ready
to deploy at scale. We are not merely adopting EVs; we are co-designing a new
paradigm for intercity travel that is faster, more reliable, and ultimately,
more passenger-centric, directly addressing the myth that electric buses cannot
reliably conquer India’s vast intercity network.&quot; 

 

Commenting on the announcement,
Arun Vinayak, Founder &amp; CEO of Exponent Energy stated, “Rapid
charging truly unlocks the opportunity to replace diesel buses with EVs on
long-haul routes. A 15-minute quick charge every 300 km during highway pitstops
allows for diesel vehicle like operations with all the benefits of EVs to the
fleet operator, the passengers and the climate.

 

We’re proud to have developed the
entire 1.5MW charging capability and rapid charging technology in India. And
we’re proud to be working with Fresh Bus to co-design the ecosystem. Together,
we’re putting India in pole position when it comes to long haul electrification
globally” 

 

This marks a significant step in
accelerating India’s transition from conventional Internal Combustion Engine
(ICE) buses to commercially viable, scalable electric intercity transportation.
Fresh Bus&#039;s ambitious vision is to capture 10% of India’s intercity market
share by operating 10,000 EV buses, and this partnership with Exponent Energy
is a monumental stride toward achieving that goal. 

 

&quot;Our goal is not just to
operate electric buses, but to fundamentally redefine what intercity travel
looks like in India – making it seamless, sustainable, and superior,&quot;
added Chirra. &quot;This collaboration with Exponent Energy brings us closer to
that vision, paving the way for an unparalleled intercity travel experience for
millions of Indians.&quot;

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The landmark partnership commits to 250 electric buses, transforming long-haul routes by enabling quick turnarounds, making scalable EV operations a commercial reality.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><b>National, India — January 20, 2026 : </b> Fresh Bus, India’s pioneering all-electric intercity bus service, today announced a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Exponent Energy, a Bengaluru-based tech company. This strategic alliance introduces India’s first rapid-charging, long-range electric intercity bus platform, fundamentally reimagining intercity mobility by delivering a travel experience that is more comfortable, sustainable, scalable, and commercially viable across India’s vast network.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>This collaboration marks a pivotal moment for the Indian transportation sector. Fresh Bus is set to become India’s first and only intercity electric bus operator capable of deploying a 100% all-sleeper EV fleet on long-distance routes, fortified by Exponent Energy's superfast charging capabilities. This approach transforms traditional EV limitations into a competitive advantage for scalable, efficient intercity operations.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Under this comprehensive partnership, Fresh Bus has committed to deploying up to 250 electric buses, supported by Exponent Energy’s rapid-charging platform and 1.5 MW charging infrastructure. Fresh Bus will shortly commence services on the high-demand Hyderabad–Bengaluru corridor, marking the first phase of a planned pan-India expansion.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Traditionally, intercity electric buses, often limited to an effective range of around 350 km, faced challenges with extended charging times. Fresh Bus, in collaboration with Exponent Energy, has co-designed a comprehensive ecosystem that unlocks unlimited range for EV buses through en route 15 minute rapid charging.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Instead of relying on larger, heavier, and more expensive battery packs to extend range, Exponent Energy’s rapid-charging platform enables long-haul operations through robust superfast charging. This, combined with megawatt-scale charging infra deployment along highways, enables the buses to effectively have long-range capabilities to serve even 1,000 km trip routes, while simultaneously allowing rapid turnaround times between trips. This significantly reduces mid-point charging halts, enhances passenger experience, ensures faster turnaround times, improved fleet utilization, and greater service frequency. This makes longer, high-demand intercity routes operationally viable for electric buses – routes previously constrained by prolonged charging stops and range limitations – and lowers the total cost of ownership compared to oversized battery configurations.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>"This is a systems-level solution built for real-world intercity operations. Fast charging is inherently more efficient than simply adding oversized batteries," said Sudhakar Chirra, Founder &amp; CEO, Fresh Bus. "After two years of close collaboration and rigorous joint engineering with Exponent Energy, we’re ready to deploy at scale. We are not merely adopting EVs; we are co-designing a new paradigm for intercity travel that is faster, more reliable, and ultimately, more passenger-centric, directly addressing the myth that electric buses cannot reliably conquer India’s vast intercity network." </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Commenting on the announcement, Arun Vinayak, Founder &amp; CEO of Exponent Energy stated<b>,</b> “Rapid charging truly unlocks the opportunity to replace diesel buses with EVs on long-haul routes. A 15-minute quick charge every 300 km during highway pitstops allows for diesel vehicle like operations with all the benefits of EVs to the fleet operator, the passengers and the climate.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>We’re proud to have developed the entire 1.5MW charging capability and rapid charging technology in India. And we’re proud to be working with Fresh Bus to co-design the ecosystem. Together, we’re putting India in pole position when it comes to long haul electrification globally” </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>This marks a significant step in accelerating India’s transition from conventional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) buses to commercially viable, scalable electric intercity transportation. Fresh Bus's ambitious vision is to capture 10% of India’s intercity market share by operating 10,000 EV buses, and this partnership with Exponent Energy is a monumental stride toward achieving that goal. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>"Our goal is not just to operate electric buses, but to fundamentally redefine what intercity travel looks like in India – making it seamless, sustainable, and superior," added Chirra. "This collaboration with Exponent Energy brings us closer to that vision, paving the way for an unparalleled intercity travel experience for millions of Indians." </span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India], January 20 : Everyday nutrition is evolving rapidly in India. As people are becoming more &amp; more conscious of what they eat, there is a growing demand for food that supports health goals without giving up taste, tradition, and enjoyment. Responding to this shift, TeinPro has entered the health food market with the launch of its first protein bar. Conceptualised by Chinmay Barik, Raghav Gupta, Kshitij Shokeen, and created with acclaimed Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda as one of its core investors, TeinPro is redefining the meaning of protein supplements in India. It’s not just about lifting heavier or running longer anymore. It’s about supporting the full spectrum of Indian modern lives with everyday wellness in mind.Protein’s role in muscle repair and growth is well established, but its relevance extends far beyond the gym floor. Adequate high-quality protein intake ensures sustained energy, high metabolism, and better immunity, making it the foundation of both performance and everyday wellbeing. Yet, most of the Indian diets are traditionally rich in carbohydrates and full of flavour. They often fall short on the daily protein intake quotient, especially for vegetarians. TeinPro’s protein bar has been developed to complement this reality. It adds quality protein into the diet, without disrupting food choices or taste preferences for everyone, be it people who train, people who move, or people who simply want to feel more resilient in their routine.TeinPro’s protein bar has been developed with a deep understanding of the human anatomy and its function to support the body’s already ongoing work flawlessly. Its no-added-sugar, no-preservatives formula is rich in magnesium, zinc, and anti-oxidants, with ashwagandha extracts that ensure calm focus along with sustained energy. Unlike the conventional protein bars that lean heavily towards hardcore fitness or casual snacking, TeinPro is a functional bridge between the two. It is a smart, everyday choice whether between meals, after workouts, or during long workdays, and even a healthy dessert option.Speaking about the protein bar and their brand vision, TeinPro’s leadership said, “We saw a gap between performance nutrition and everyday nutrition, and that’s how TeinPro was born. Our goal was to create a bar that acknowledges our regular lifestyle and food habits. TeinPro is crafted with equal focus on taste as on nutrition. The Protein as well as energy bars offers natural sweetness that satisfies even the post-meal sweet cravings, all while providing nutrition. TeinPro’s intent is not excess, but adequacy. That’s exactly what we’re achieving with our protein bar.”For Randeep Hooda, the decision to invest in TeinPro was rooted in alignment. Hooda’s eye for detail and commitment to excellence mirror TeinPro’s philosophy. Hooda’s decision to invest in the product was driven by this association of shared values. From his intense roles in Sarbjit and Sultan to his layered performances in Highway and Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, his physical transformations reflect immense control over his body. This discipline and balance align perfectly with TeinPro’s vision.Highlighting TeinPro’s uniqueness and his personal trust in it, Hooda said, “What I love about TeinPro is that it doesn’t treat protein as only a gym or workout thing, it’s wholesome and is crafted keeping Indian lifestyle, our eating habits and the nutrition gaps in mind. As an actor, I have always tried to back characters and my work with honesty and wanted to bring the same authenticity to TeinPro protein and energy bars. Yes, it supports performance, but it also considers the everyday demands we put our bodies through. This balance is truly great. I was in search for a healthy snack alternative and I am glad I am launching the perfect one!!”With its debut, TeinPro has positioned itself as a unique entrant in the protein and energy market focused on cumulatively supporting how people not only train and recover but also work and live. This launch is an invitation to consumers across India to move beyond short-term fitness goals towards a more integrated relationship with their nutrition.The TeinPro protein and energy bar is now available online on their website - https://teinpro.com/ as well as on BigBasket, Zepto, Amazon, Flipkart, JioMart, and Tata 1mg. It will soon be rolled out across more quick commerce and offline channels. Offering a simple yet considerate way to add strength, stamina, and wellness into daily life, the brand is set to redefine the wellness foods category with this launch. ]]></description>

<title>Piramal Realty Delivers Over 4,200 Homes, Translating Design Intent into Lived&amp;in Communities</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, January 20, 2026 : Piramal Realty, the real estate arm of the
Piramal Group, continues to strengthen its position as a design-led,
delivery-focused residential developer, with a growing portfolio of
delivered and lived-in communities across Mumbai.

With great design as the starting point of every
development at Piramal Realty, every project is anchored in intent,
imagination and a deep understanding of how residents live, evolve and belong
within their homes. This design-led approach guides decisions from the
earliest drawings to the final execution on ground, ensuring that what is
envisioned is delivered fully and faithfully. Since commencing operations, the
company has delivered over 4,200 homes across 21 towers and six projects,
accounting for approximately 6.2 million sq. ft. of completed residential
development and another 3,000 homes under construction, across the Mumbai
Metropolitan Region (MMR). These deliveries represent the transition from
development concepts to functioning neighbourhoods, where homes are occupied,
amenities are operational, and communities are actively lived in.

Commenting on the company’s approach, Abhijeet
Maheshwari, CEO, Piramal Realty, said, “Design for us, is meaningful
only when it is realised on ground. From the first drawing to final handover,
our focus has been on executing with discipline and responsibility, recognising
that behind every home delivered is a family beginning a new chapter. What
we imagine must be built, and what we promise must be delivered. Delivery
is therefore not an outcome, but a commitment we take seriously. As an
organisation, this means making disciplined choices and staying deeply involved
from the conceptualization to delivery. It means respecting timelines, sweating
the details and never losing sight of the end consumer.”

The delivered portfolio spans large-format
integrated developments as well as premium and luxury residential assets, including
Piramal Aranya in Byculla—home to the India’s 2nd tallest delivered residential
tower, Piramal Mahalaxmi offering uninterrupted views of the iconic Mahalaxmi
Racecourse, Piramal Revanta in Mulund, set beside Mumbai’s largest green cover
and Piramal Vaikunth, which uniquely integrates Thane’s first ISKCON temple
within a residential community. These developments are supported by fully
delivered community infrastructure, including clubhouses, landscaped open
spaces and shared lifestyle environments. Projects such as Piramal Agastya
Corporate Park in Kurla and Karuna Sindhu in Worli further demonstrate the
company’s ability to apply a consistent design philosophy and disciplined
execution across diverse commercial and residential formats.

In a residential market where buyer confidence
is increasingly shaped by execution certainty, Piramal Realty’s ability to
translate thoughtful planning into completed developments has emerged as a
defining strength. By sequencing launches alongside construction progress and
maintaining a consistent focus on completion and handover, the company has
built credibility as a developer that prioritises long-term trust and lived
value over short-term positioning.

With a growing base of occupied developments and
a robust pipeline under development, Piramal Realty remains focused on
advancing its delivery roadmap, continuing to apply a methodical, disciplined
approach to building communities that stand completed, functional, and
enduring, guided by the belief that excellence is proven only when it stands
complete.

About Piramal Realty: 

Founded in 2012, Piramal Realty, the real estate development arm of
Piramal Group is one of India’s leading developers with ~12 Mn. sq.ft. of
residential real estate under development in and around Mumbai. Piramal Realty
aims to set a gold standard in design, quality, safety, and customer centricity
in both residential and commercial real estate. Piramal Realty’s innovative
developments not only capture a cutting-edge and contemporary ethos but also aim
to adopt a more intuitive interpretation of luxury. This distinctive approach
celebrates the harmonious integration of nature, greenery, spaciousness,
natural light, ventilation and the inherent connection with biophilia
encapsulating the essence of community living. ]]></description>

India playing a pivotal role in shaping the next chapter of global metrology.

Centered
on the theme “The Future of Metrology,” the events addressed the
rapidly evolving quality and precision challenges facing India’s manufacturing
sectors across automotive and electric mobility, aerospace and aviation, power
and energy, electronics, medical technology, heavy engineering and advanced
manufacturing among others.

India’s
manufacturing landscape is undergoing a structural transformation, driven by EV
adoption, indigenous aerospace programs, renewable energy expansion,
automation, AI-led production and global supply-chain integration. In this
environment, quality is no longer a checkpoint. Rather, it is a strategic
differentiator.

Speaking
about the event, Aveen Padmaprabha, Head of Industrial Quality Solutions,
ZEISS India, “As manufacturing continues to transform, the expectations
from metrology are expanding rapidly - from speed and accuracy to data-driven
decision-making. ZEISS Quality Innovation Worldwide in India, which witnessed a
humbling participation of 350+ individuals from the manufacturing fraternity,
demonstrated how advanced metrology solutions can empower the industry to
achieve higher productivity and quality consistency. Our focus remains on
enabling our customers with future-ready technologies and deep application
expertise.”

The
events reinforced a central message: metrology is evolving from measuring
outcomes to predicting performance, enabling manufacturers to innovate faster
while meeting increasingly stringent quality requirements. ZEISS Quality
Innovation Worldwide in India created a first-of-its-kind platform for the
country’s metrology and manufacturing community - combining technology
launches, innovation showcases and strategic knowledge exchange under one roof.

Participants
experienced:

●       
Breakthrough innovations in optical, tactile
and X-ray metrology

●       
Digital and connected quality ecosystems,
including ZEISS PiWeb and data-driven quality workflows

●       
Automation- and AI-enabled inspection
solutions aligned with Industry 4.0

●       
Hands-on, production-oriented demonstrations
reflecting real manufacturing challenges

A
key differentiator of the India editions was the strong customer voice, with
leading manufacturers taking center stage to share their journeys in
metrology-led innovation and quality transformation, building resilient quality
cultures, driving product and process innovation, and showcasing best practices
from complex production environments. These insights underscored that the future
of metrology in India is being co-created - by global technology
leaders like ZEISS and by Indian manufacturers driving innovation at scale.

By
bringing its global platform to New Delhi and Pune - two of India’s most
influential manufacturing hubs - ZEISS reaffirmed its long-term commitment to
India’s industrial growth, positioning the country not only as a high-growth
market but as a key contributor to global manufacturing excellence and quality
innovation, while uniting industry leaders, innovators and quality champions to
collectively shape how precision, intelligence and prediction will define
manufacturing’s next decade.

As
India advances toward its vision of becoming a global manufacturing leader,
ZEISS remains committed to empowering industries with precision that becomes
intelligence, measurement that becomes prediction, and metrology that becomes
the foundation of tomorrow’s manufacturing ecosystem.

<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/logisticsnow-wins-the-sustainability-leaders-track-at-supernova-challenge-dubai-2025</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/logisticsnow-wins-the-sustainability-leaders-track-at-supernova-challenge-dubai-2025</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ LogisticsNow,
a vertical AI logistics-tech platform has won the Sustainability Leaders
Track at the Supernova Challenge Dubai 2025, a key category within Expand
North Star, one of the world’s largest and most competitive global startup
events. The recognition places LogisticsNow among leading technology innovators
creating measurable impact in sustainable logistics with multi-million dollar
savings and supply-chain transformation for the Fortune 2000.

Why
This Award Matters

The
Supernova Challenge is widely known for its scale, drawing hundreds of startups
and technology companies from around the world each year. Participants are
evaluated by global investors, industry experts, and policymakers on criteria
such as innovation, applicability, growth potential, and the ability to solve
large-scale problems.

Winning
the Sustainability Leaders Track holds specific significance because the
category focuses on solutions that demonstrate real and verifiable impact.
For the logistics sector—one of the largest contributors to global
emissions—technology-based intelligence systems are becoming essential for
improving load efficiency, reducing empty miles, and supporting organisations
in transitioning to more sustainable, automated AI driven freight operations.

This
award highlights LogisticsNow’s work in helping enterprises make structured,
data-driven freight decisions that reduce both cost and carbon impact. It also
reflects a broader industry shift: supply-chain strategies everywhere are
increasingly being shaped by the need for efficiency, precision, and
sustainability, three areas where LogisticsNow’s freight intelligence systems
offer clear multi million $ value.

Understanding
LogisticsNow’s Impact

LogisticsNow

core platform, LoRRI.ai, functions as a Smart Logistics Grid, bringing

●     
Freight Intelligence &amp; Procurement:
Benchmarking and data-backed sourcing decisions, with end-to-end high speed
procurement execution. 

●     
Dispatch Planning &amp; Execution:
Improved utilisation and planning across large networks.

●     
Mode and Truck-type optimisation:
Selecting the most efficient transport modes based on performance and cost.

●     
Emissions-aware decision-making:
Tools to evaluate and reduce the environmental footprint of freight operations.

By
standardising and analysing freight intelligence, LogisticsNow helps companies
improve, cost efficiency, and resilience within their supply-chain networks.
The platform is designed to work across industries and geographies, making it
adaptable for complex freight movements.

Key
Metrics and Achievements

LogisticsNow’s
growth and operational impact are reflected in several core metrics:

●     
250%+ year-on-year growth
across India and Europe

●     
$2.5 billion+ in
aggregated freight intelligence

●     
Partnerships with leading shippers including,
Kimberly-Clark, Pernod Ricard, Perfetti Van Melle, Apollo Tyres and many
others

●     
Collaboration with 2,200+ carriers
across 80,000+ freight routes globally

●       
Optimized/Transacted &gt; $500 million+ in
freight spends globally

●     
$21 million+ in savings
delivered

●     
Recognised and backed by Shell, Walmart
(Flipkart), and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) alumni

These
indicators demonstrate how LogisticsNow’s grid and intelligence models support
B2B enterprises in managing and optimizing freight at scale, to become the
single source of truth for all things freight and sustainable logistics.

Quote

A
spokesperson for LogisticsNow said:
“Sustainability pays back for governments and enterprises in logistics. Our
win at the Supernova Challenge reinforces this truth and motivates us to go
further. By harnessing transparency, data, and collaboration, we are building
logistics ecosystems that are cleaner, more efficient, and economically
rewarding. We look forward to working with leaders around the world to shape a
greener, smarter, and more resilient logistics future.”

<title>Fighting Global Food Waste: Turning Expiring Products into Opportunity</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/fighting-global-food-waste-turning-expiring-products-into-opportunity</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/fighting-global-food-waste-turning-expiring-products-into-opportunity</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Every year, more than USD 1 trillion worth of
food is wasted. This data is regularly updated by organizations such as the
World Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations. According to the latest estimates, approximately 1.3 billion
tons of food are wasted globally every year. A large portion of food is
wasted mainly due to the imbalance between production and consumption. This
results in a major financial loss, negatively impacts the environment, and
poses a threat to food security. This cost includes expenses related to
manufacturing, storage, shipping, and disposal.

To reduce this economic impact, policies such as
improved supply chain management, low-waste production methods, and increased
consumer awareness are being implemented worldwide. Every year, around 1.3
billion tons of food—nearly one-third of the world’s total food production—is
wasted. This highlights the massive scale of food wastage, its
environmental impact, and the growing concerns around food security. While food
waste is more common in developed countries, in developing nations, it is
largely caused by inadequate storage facilities and poor transportation
systems. To address this issue, solutions such as better supply chains,
improved storage technologies, and greater consumer awareness are being
promoted. Additionally, some organizations are focusing on initiatives like
food waste recycling and food donation.

Many products have expiration dates, including
food and beverages (such as dairy, meat, and bakery products), medicines,
cosmetics (makeup and skincare), health products, and certain chemicals and
batteries.

On this website, nearbyexpire.com, there are no investments, hidden charges, or middlemen
involved—sellers list products with images and details, while buyers browse,
contact, and negotiate directly. Expired items can even be listed for
repurposing into compost or recycling, supporting a circular economy.

Therefore, for the first time in the world,
products that are close to their expiry date are listed on a website and sold
at discounted rates to prevent product loss. The www.nearbyexpire.com software has been developed in India, where you do not
need to spend even a single rupee from your pocket. Sellers can reduce the
price of their products before they expire and list them for free, helping them
avoid losses.

For example, most grocery items are purchased by
caterers, hotel owners, or middle-class consumers, who buy them at lower prices
and use them accordingly.

You can also list expired products on
this website, as they can be used for making bio-compost and fertilizers. Both
consumers and dealers use Nearbyexpire.com, the largest online classified platform, to buy and sell a
wide range of new and used products. Sellers can list multiple products and
upload advertisements that include images, titles, descriptions, and estimated
selling prices. Buyers can browse listings, directly contact sellers, negotiate
terms, and finally purchase products from them. With strong brand presence,
advanced technology, and significant organic traffic, Nearbyexpire.com has become a preferred classified platform for both
dealers and consumers. The platform connects millions of buyers and sellers,
enabling safe and convenient transactions.

How It Works

Shopkeepers enter shop name, mobile, and address
to list items; customers view listings online and buy in-person at reduced
prices. This simple classifieds-style system leverages technology for
grassroots waste reduction.

We humbly request that everyone not waste
food. ]]></description>

<title>Seminar on Palm Oil’s Role in Human Health, Nutrition and Sustainability Held at HBTU, Kanpur</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
January 19, 2026 : Leading experts in nutrition science, food
regulation, cardiology and oil technology called for a science-led conversation
around palm oil and its role in human health, nutrition and sustainability
unfolded at Harcourt Butler Technical University (HBTU), Kanpur, during a
half-day seminar entitled “Palm Oil’s Role in Human Health, Nutrition, and
Sustainability: The Balanced Truth.”

Jointly
organised by the Department of Oil Technology, HBTU Kanpur, and the Oil
Technologists’ Association of India (OTAI), Central Zone, the seminar
brought together experts from nutrition science, medical research, food
regulation, sustainability and oil technology to cut through long-standing
myths and present evidence-based perspectives on palm oil.

The
seminar served as a platform for constructive, science-driven dialogue on one
of the world’s most widely consumed edible oils. Palm oil plays a vital role in
India’s food system due to its affordability, functional versatility and
reliability across a wide range of cooking and processing applications. Its
stable supply and wide usage contribute significantly to meeting the country’s
edible oil demand, supporting food security for households, food service
operators and the packaged food industry alike.

Scientific
insights shared during the seminar highlighted that palm oil is a balanced mix
of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, making it suitable for everyday
cooking when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Its high oxidative stability
allows it to perform well under high-heat cooking conditions, helping preserve
food quality and reduce the formation of harmful compounds compared to other
vegetable oils.

Palm
oil is also a natural source of Vitamin E tocotrienols, known for their
antioxidant properties. Discussions emphasised that overall dietary patterns,
lifestyle choices and moderation play a far greater role in health outcomes
than the exclusion of any single cooking oil.

The
discussions also aligned with the objectives of the National Mission on
Edible Oils – Oil Palm (NMEO-OP), launched by the Government of India in
2021 to strengthen domestic edible oil production and promote sustainable
agricultural practices. Speakers during the seminar highlighted the efficiency
of oil palm as a crop, noting that it delivers higher yield per hectare compared
to other major vegetable oil crops. When supported by responsible cultivation
methods, scientific research, and sustainability frameworks, oil palm farming
can contribute to rural livelihoods, economic development, and long-term food
security.

Speaking
on the significance of the seminar, Prof. Praveen Yadav, Dean, School of
Chemical Technology Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur said,
“Palm oil often finds itself at the centre of polarised debates. What forums
like this achieve is balance, grounding opinions in science, context and
responsibility. When we look at health, nutrition and sustainability together
rather than in isolation, we are better equipped to make informed choices, both
as professionals and as consumers.”

The
seminar highlighted the importance of science-based communication in shaping
perspectives on palm oil in India and promoting balanced, responsible dietary
practices. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
The eagerly-anticipated comeback will unfold
through a high-intensity season running from January 15 to February 1, 2026 at
the Noida Indoor Stadium

●       
Rubics Group scored big in the player auction
on January 3, 2026, with a masterful auction strategy that culminated in the
acquisition of Antim Panghal for a landmark ₹52 lakh

●       
The group’s support of the Pro Wrestling
League is an extension of their ‘Homes That Build Champions’ philosophy that
links real estate with community health, and highlights their commitment to
offering grassroots sports a truly world-class platform

Mumbai/Noida
| January 19, 2026 : Rubics Group has once again raised the bar for
community-led partnerships and world-class sporting platforms by extending
their support to the return of the Pro Wrestling League (PWL)—India’s premier
franchise-based professional wrestling league. UP Dominators, owned by Rubics
Group (Rubics Realty), will lead the way in what is predicted to be a defining
reset moment for Indian wrestling on the world stage. Rubics Group’s
participation is an embodiment of their ‘Homes That Build Champions’ vision,
and combines grassroots talent and community wellness with a coveted
international platform. 

The
first chapter of PWL’s comeback season was the player auction on January 3,
2026. Rubics Group’s auction strategy was to combine marquee star power with
promising talent and international experience. The group started strong with
the historic acquisition of Antim Panghal (53 kg) – reigning U20 World Champion
and Asian Champion – for a landmark ₹52 lakh. The team further went on to
secure other top Indian prospects including Nisha Dahiya (62 kg) and Vishal
Kaliramana (65 kg). Additionally, the squad boasts significant global firepower
with Arman Andreasyan (74 kg) and Mikhailov Vasyl (74 kg), bringing elite
international styles, experience and tactical diversity to the middleweights.
The signing of Jaspooran Singh (125 kg) secures a formidable anchor for the
super-heavyweight division, which is crucial for team balance. 

Rounding
off the team with youth, agility and long-term developmental potential are
players such as Sagar Sharma (57 kg), Rahul Deswal (57 kg), Bridgette Marie
Duty (57 kg) and Ojo Damola Hannah (76 kg). To anchor performance with
discipline and credibility, UP Dominators will be guided by a high-recognition
Indian coaching bench that comprises former Olympian and 11-time National Gold
medallist Vinod Kumar — Head Coach (Freestyle) as well as NIS Diploma holder
and UWW Level-1 &amp; Level-2 certified coach Pardeep Kumar —
Coach/High-Performance Support. This coaching structure will shape a
professional, athlete-first environment—combining legacy wrestling values with
modern match preparation, conditioning and tactical planning.

Suhan
Shetty, Founder &amp; Managing Director, Rubics Group, said: “Wrestling is
India’s original sport of discipline—built in akhadas, earned through
sacrifice and celebrated through courage. PWL’s return is not just a new
season; it is a national opportunity to take our indigenous sporting legacy to
the world. Through UP Dominators, Rubics Group is committing to something
deeper than branding: building healthier communities, enabling youth pathways,
supporting women’s participation and creating a championship ecosystem that
begins at the grassroots. Our promise is simple—we build homes that build
champions. From akhada to arena. From UP to the world.”

The
current PWL season will kick off January 15, 2026 at the Noida Indoor Stadium.
The league is positioned as a truly international competition with 250+
wrestlers from 20+ countries in the auction pool, including elite Indian and
global medal-winning talent. The six participating franchises represent India’s
strongest wrestling regions: Haryana Thunders, Tiigers of Mumbai Dangals,
Punjab Royals, Maharashtra Kesari, Delhi Dangal Warriors, and UP Dominators.
The season is designed as a fast-paced, team-based format that strengthens
athlete pathways, competitive integrity and fan engagement—bringing traditional
akhada culture into a modern arena experience and national broadcast
ecosystem.

As
the owners of UP Dominators, Rubics Group is committing to a long-term vision
that goes beyond sponsorship—using sport as a living expression of the brand’s
community-building purpose. Beyond its support of the team, Rubics Group will
create measurable community impact through various complimentary initiatives
including conducting identification camps and structured scouting support
across UP’s wrestling belts, initiating skill, confidence, fitness and
mentorship programmes aligned to the league’s women’s categories, as well as
supporting emerging athletes with training scholarships, equipment and safety
upgrades, as well as access to recovery facilities. Finally, to amplify the
fervour surrounding the event and offer fans meaningful w ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/corset-wholesale-ltd-launches-regional-factory-outlet-websites-amid-global-tariffs-offering-transparent-multi-currency-b2b-pricing</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Gurgaon,
India | January 2026 : Corset Wholesale Ltd, a leading global corset
manufacturer and B2B fashion platform, today announced the launch of multiple region-specific
Factory Outlet websites in response to shifting global tariffs, currency
volatility, and increased trade complexity impacting international fashion
wholesale.

The
move enables wholesale buyers to place orders using local currencies,
access transparent factory-direct pricing, and source products through region-optimised
platforms, significantly reducing uncertainty around landed costs and
cross-border transactions.

With
this expansion, Corset Wholesale Ltd strengthens its position as the world’s
largest B2B website dedicated to corsets and corset fashion, covering
corsets, corset dresses, waist training corsets, Rococo fashion, Steampunk
clothing, and Gothic collections.

Responding
to Global Trade &amp; Tariff Challenges

Global
fashion retailers are increasingly affected by tariffs, fluctuating exchange
rates, and region-specific compliance requirements. To address these challenges,
Corset Wholesale Ltd has reorganised its digital wholesale infrastructure into clearly
defined regional platforms, each designed to support buyers with accurate
pricing and simplified checkout.

By
offering local-currency payments and region-specific pricing, the
company allows boutiques and online retailers to plan inventory with confidence
and protect margins in an unpredictable global market.

“Wholesale
buyers today need clarity more than ever,” said the founder. “Our regional
Factory Outlet model removes guesswork from international sourcing and restores
transparency to global fashion manufacturing.”

The
World’s Largest B2B Platform for Corsets &amp; Alternative Fashion

Corset
Wholesale Ltd currently offers 1,000+ active wholesale SKUs, making it
one of the most comprehensive B2B sourcing destinations for corsetry and
alternative fashion worldwide.

Its
product portfolio includes:

●       
Steel-boned corsets

●       
High-fashion corset dresses

●       
Rococo and historical fashion styles

●       
Steampunk and Victorian-inspired designs

●       
Gothic and alternative fashion collections

The
platform serves boutiques, costume designers, e-commerce retailers, and fashion
brands across more than 30 countries.

Founded
by Fashion Designer Suman Bharti

Founded
in 2005 by fashion designer and entrepreneur Suman Bharti, Corset
Wholesale Ltd began as a small manufacturing operation in India and has grown
into a globally recognised corset manufacturing house.

With
over 20 years of hands-on experience in fashion design and production,
the founder has guided the company through multiple industry shifts—from
traditional wholesale to digital B2B, and now to region-specific Factory Outlet
platforms tailored for modern global trade.

“As
a fashion designer and manufacturer, I believe transparency is the foundation
of trust,” said Bharti. “These platforms are built to support our global
partners with honest pricing, direct factory access, and long-term
reliability.”

Corset
Wholesale Ltd now operates the following official wholesale platforms:

<title>DRIVE YOUR MATCH: BMW India Unveils its new Ad Campaign</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/drive-your-match-bmw-india-unveils-its-new-ad-campaign</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/drive-your-match-bmw-india-unveils-its-new-ad-campaign</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Gurugram :  BMW India announced the launch
of its latest advertisement campaign, ‘DRIVE YOUR MATCH’, a strategic evolution
of its communication approach that elevates the idea of choice into one of
discovery, recognition, and self-expression. The new campaign focuses on how
customers connect with the brand, positioning every BMW not as a mass-market
option, but as a precise match to an individual’s personality, aspirations, and
lifestyle.

Mr. Vitesh Barar, Director, Marketing, BMW India, said, “BMW has
always stood for progressive luxury, driving pleasure and individuality. With
DRIVE YOUR MATCH, we elevate the conversation from owning a car to recognising
a reflection of who you are. This campaign celebrates the deep, personal
connection our customers share with the brand, while showcasing the versatility
of our portfolio in a way that remains distinctly premium. In India, where
aspirations are deeply personal and evolving, ‘DRIVE YOUR MATCH’ reinforces BMW
as the perfect partner in every individual journey.”

Building on the brand route ‘For Every You, there’s a BMW’, the
new advertisement campaign sharpens the narrative by moving from literal
accessibility to meaningful alignment. DRIVE YOUR MATCH reframes versatility as
premium precision, where finding the right BMW is not about selection, but
recognition. At the heart of the campaign is a powerful insight: customers
don’t choose a BMW, they recognise the one that reflects who they are. Through
the lens of matchmaking, BMW becomes a natural extension of identity, where
every interaction with the brand is a joyful moment waiting to be discovered.
The campaign leads with exclusivity and self-actualisation, while seamlessly
showcasing the breadth of BMW’s products, services, and experiences.

The campaign serves as a unifying communication platform that
brings together BMW’s complete portfolio in India, with a confident,
call-to-action driven tone. It reinforces the brand’s premium aspiration while
celebrating individuality, ensuring consistency across touchpoints and campaigns
through mid-2026.

With DRIVE YOUR MATCH, BMW India continues to strengthen its
brand aspiration, transforming versatility into a statement of precision, and
every BMW into a moment of recognition waiting to be driven.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Gurugram : </span></b><span lang="EN"> BMW India announced the launch of its latest advertisement campaign, ‘DRIVE YOUR MATCH’, a strategic evolution of its communication approach that elevates the idea of choice into one of discovery, recognition, and self-expression. The new campaign focuses on how customers connect with the brand, positioning every BMW not as a mass-market option, but as a precise match to an individual’s personality, aspirations, and lifestyle.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Mr. Vitesh Barar, Director, Marketing, BMW India, said, “BMW has always stood for progressive luxury, driving pleasure and individuality. With DRIVE YOUR MATCH, we elevate the conversation from owning a car to recognising a reflection of who you are. This campaign celebrates the deep, personal connection our customers share with the brand, while showcasing the versatility of our portfolio in a way that remains distinctly premium. In India, where aspirations are deeply personal and evolving, ‘DRIVE YOUR MATCH’ reinforces BMW as the perfect partner in every individual journey.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Building on the brand route ‘For Every You, there’s a BMW’, the new advertisement campaign sharpens the narrative by moving from literal accessibility to meaningful alignment. DRIVE YOUR MATCH reframes versatility as premium precision, where finding the right BMW is not about selection, but recognition. At the heart of the campaign is a powerful insight: customers don’t choose a BMW, they recognise the one that reflects who they are. Through the lens of matchmaking, BMW becomes a natural extension of identity, where every interaction with the brand is a joyful moment waiting to be discovered. The campaign leads with exclusivity and self-actualisation, while seamlessly showcasing the breadth of BMW’s products, services, and experiences.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The campaign serves as a unifying communication platform that brings together BMW’s complete portfolio in India, with a confident, call-to-action driven tone. It reinforces the brand’s premium aspiration while celebrating individuality, ensuring consistency across touchpoints and campaigns through mid-2026.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">With DRIVE YOUR MATCH, BMW India continues to strengthen its brand aspiration, transforming versatility into a statement of precision, and every BMW into a moment of recognition waiting to be driven.</span></p>

<title>Axis Max Life Launches BSE 500 Value 50 Index Pension Fund to Bolster Retirement Savings</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/axis-max-life-launches-bse-500-value-50-index-pension-fund-to-bolster-retirement-savings</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, January 17, 2026 : Axis Max Life Insurance Limited,  formerly known as Max
Life Insurance Company Limited (“Axis Max Life”/ “Company”), has
launched the Axis Max Life BSE 500 Value 50 Index Pension Fund , a passively managed equity-oriented fund.
Available through the Axis Max Life Forever Young Pension Plan (A
Unit-Linked Non-Participating Individual Pension Plan) (UIN: 104L075V08), the Fund is
aimed at value-conscious customers looking to build a robust retirement corpus
by tapping into the BSE 500 universe. The Index Fund will be available at a Net
Asset Value (NAV) of Rs. 10 per unit during the New Fund Offer (NFO) period
from January 16, 2026, to February 3, 2026.

Sachin
Bajaj, Executive Vice President and Chief Investments Officer, Axis Max Life,
said, “With the launch of the BSE 500 Value 50 Index Pension Fund, we are
empowering customers to move beyond traditional savings toward stocks with
attractive valuations. By blending value theme with structured retirement
planning, this fund offers to help customers weather through market cycles and
build a dependable retirement corpus.”

This Index Pension Fund mirrors the BSE 500 Enhanced Value 50 Index,
which filters stocks through strict liquidity mandates, requiring a top-450
ranking by annualized trade value and a 20% average daily turnover ratio. The
strategy then selects 50 stocks with the highest &#039;value scores&#039; based on three
fundamental metrics: Book-to-Price, Earnings-to-Price, and Sales-to-Price
ratios. Reconstituted quarterly to align with market dynamics, this strategy
maintains a minimum 80% equity exposure. This ensures a transparent,
disciplined approach to capturing value-led growth and long-term capital
appreciation.

The Index Fund is well-balanced across India’s strongest industries,
led by major investments in the Financial and Energy sectors, alongside
allocations to Commodities and Consumer Discretionary. This inherent
diversification acts as a strategic hedge against concentration risk; by
spreading investments across different industries, the fund is protected from a
downturn in any single area, thus providing a more stable path toward one’s
retirement goals.

As India’s retirement landscape evolves, this Index Fund stands as a
pivotal solution for individuals seeking to diversify their portfolios with
high-growth, market-linked instruments. By combining the historical
outperformance of the value factor with the structural security of a life
insurance-backed pension plan, Axis Max Life, reaffirms its commitment to
provide financial tools that help the customers achieve a financially
independent retirement.

<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/shravan-gupta-bridging-technology-and-finance-through-entrepreneurial-vision</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/shravan-gupta-bridging-technology-and-finance-through-entrepreneurial-vision</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Shravan Gupta stands out as a new-age
entrepreneur who operates at the intersection of technology and finance—two
fields that are reshaping the global economy at unprecedented speed. With a
strong professional foundation and a forward-looking mindset, Gupta represents
a generation of leaders who combine technical expertise with financial insight
to build scalable, impactful ventures.

Early Orientation Toward Innovation

From the outset of his career, Shravan Gupta
demonstrated a strong inclination toward problem-solving and systems thinking.
His interest in technology was not limited to coding or tools alone; instead,
he focused on how technology could be applied to real-world financial
challenges—such as efficiency, transparency, risk management, and access. This
dual focus helped him develop a holistic understanding of how digital
infrastructure and financial strategy can work together.

Professional Grounding in Tech and Finance

Gupta’s professional journey reflects a blend
of technical competence and financial acumen. In the technology domain, he has
worked with modern digital frameworks, data-driven systems, and scalable
platforms. His exposure to fintech concepts—such as digital payments, data
analytics, automation, and platform-based services—has shaped his approach to
building solutions that are both robust and adaptable.

On the finance side, Shravan Gupta brings a strong grasp of market dynamics, investment logic, and
operational sustainability. Rather than viewing finance as a standalone
function, he integrates it into product design and business strategy, ensuring
that innovation is aligned with long-term value creation.

Entrepreneurial Approach

What sets Shravan Gupta apart as an
entrepreneur is his emphasis on practical innovation. Instead of
pursuing technology for its own sake, he focuses on identifying inefficiencies
and unmet needs within financial and business ecosystems. His ventures are
guided by three core principles:


 Technology as an Enabler – Using
     digital tools to simplify complex financial processes.
 Scalability and Sustainability – Designing
     business models that can grow without losing efficiency or trust.
 User-Centric Thinking – Ensuring that
     solutions are intuitive, secure, and accessible.


This approach allows Gupta to operate
effectively in competitive environments where both trust and performance are
critical.

Leadership and Vision

As a professional and entrepreneur, Shravan
Gupta is known for a collaborative leadership style. He values
interdisciplinary teams, recognizing that the best ideas often emerge where
technical, financial, and strategic perspectives intersect. His leadership
reflects adaptability—an essential trait in industries where regulations,
technologies, and market expectations evolve rapidly.

Gupta’s long-term vision extends beyond
individual ventures. He is interested in contributing to ecosystems that
support innovation, ethical business practices, and digital transformation. By
aligning entrepreneurship with responsibility, he emphasizes that sustainable
success comes from balancing growth with integrity.

Impact and Future Outlook

In a world increasingly driven by digital
finance and technology-led businesses, professionals like Shravan Gupta play a
vital role. His work reflects a broader shift toward smarter, more integrated
solutions that respond to modern economic realities. Whether through startups,
strategic roles, or advisory contributions, Gupta continues to explore ways to
improve how technology and finance interact.

Looking ahead, Shravan Gupta’s trajectory
suggests continued involvement in building solutions that are not only
commercially viable but also meaningful in their application. His journey
highlights the importance of cross-domain expertise and positions him as a
representative figure of contemporary entrepreneurship.

Conclusion

Shravan Gupta’s profile as a tech-and-finance
entrepreneur underscores a key truth of today’s business world: innovation
thrives where disciplines converge. Through his professional skills,
entrepreneurial mindset, and forward-thinking vision, he exemplifies how
technology and finance can be harnessed together to create lasting impact.

~22% and Delhi-NCR at ~18%, underscoring the continued strength of office
demand in India’s key metros. ]]></description>

<title>Rivesa and the Shift From Text AI to Visual Intelligence</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rivesa-and-the-shift-from-text-ai-to-visual-intelligence</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Artificial intelligence has made extraordinary progress in generating answers. Yet across businesses, classrooms, and everyday
life, a new challenge has surfaced: understanding those answers quickly and clearly.

As AI adoption scales,
the limitation is no longer
intelligence it is interpretation.

This is where Rivesa enters the picture, aligning
itself with a larger industry
shift: from text-first AI to
visual intelligence.

Why the AI Industry Is Moving Beyond
Text

For decades,
software has relied on text as the primary way to communicate information. AI followed the same path producing
increasingly sophisticated written outputs.

But humans don’t naturally
think in long passages of text.

They
think in patterns, relationships, images, and structure.

As AI becomes more powerful, text-heavy outputs often slow decision-making instead
of accelerating it. Across
logistics operations, retail environments, classrooms, and daily workflows, users are asking for
clarity, not complexity.

Visual intelligence answers that need.

Rivesa’s Visual-First Approach
to AI

Rivesa is built on a simple
but powerful insight:

AI should show, not just tell.

Instead of delivering intelligence primarily through text, Rivesa focuses
on visual outputs that are
easier to consume, faster to understand, and more intuitive to act on. This
approach reduces cognitive load and shortens the distance between insight and
action.

The result is an AI experience that feels natural
even for users with no technical background.

Why Visual AI Works Across Industries and Age Groups

The shift toward visual
intelligence is not limited to a single
use case.

·         
Logistics &amp; B2B operations: Visual outputs enable
faster interpretation of complex systems, flows, and decisions where
clarity directly impacts outcomes.

·         
Retail environments: Visual insights support
quicker understanding of trends, inventory, and consumer behavior.

·         
Students and colleges: Visual learning improves retention, comprehension, and engagement compared to text-heavy
explanations.






·         
Everyday users:
Visual AI lowers
barriers, making intelligence accessible without effort
or expertise.

This universality positions Rivesa not as a niche solution, but as a broad AI interface designed
for how humans naturally process information.

A Larger Shift in How Humans Will Use AI

The AI industry is entering a new phase.

As underlying models become more capable and widely available, the real differentiation will come
from interfaces and experience from how intelligence is delivered, not just
how it is generated.

Visual intelligence represents the next step in this evolution.

Rivesa is not competing
to build louder
or longer answers.
It is focused on making
AI clearer, more usable, and more human.

Looking Ahead

Rivesa’s direction reflects a long-term belief:

the
future of AI will belong
to systems that are easy to understand, easy to trust,
and easy to act on.

As organizations and individuals alike
seek faster clarity
in an increasingly data-rich world,
the shift from text AI to
visual intelligence is becoming inevitable.

Rivesa is building for that future.

As Raj Jobalia
often puts it, “The future of AI isn’t about producing more information it’s about
producing more understanding.”

His belief is rooted
in a simple human truth:
people don’t connect
with intelligence through
volume or complexity, but through clarity.
Raj envisions a world where AI feels less like software and more

like intuition
where insights are seen, not searched for; where decisions emerge visually, not
buried inside text; and where AI adapts to human cognition instead of forcing
humans to adapt to machines. This philosophy is what drives Rivesa’s
long-term vision: to make visual
intelligence the most natural,
trusted, and universal way humans interact with AI across businesses,
classrooms, and everyday life. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ YES SECURITIES designed its OMNI App in line
with the leading financial firm’s commitment to digital-first services. The
next-generation platform is designed to offer investors a seamless, fast, and smart
trading experience. The app features advanced tools, an intuitive interface, and
multi-asset capabilities. It enables users to manage equities, derivatives,
mutual funds, and bonds from a single platform. With the OMNI App, YES SECURITIES
seeks to enhance the investment experience for tech-savvy individuals who value
efficiency, more educated decision-making, and secure transactions. 

Key Highlights:

Real-time market updates, price alerts, and
advanced charting tools.

Swift account opening with digital KYC
verification. 

·      
Comprehensive portfolio tracking features
along with performance analytics. 

·      
Secure transactions with end-to-end encryption
and multi-factor authentication. 

OMNI app serves as an all-in-one unified
platform, taking away the need to juggle multiple applications to manage
different asset classes. Open a Demat account, monitor
live markets, track prices, and receive instant notifications of vital
developments, all within a single app. It’s advanced charting tools and
technical indicators help investors make smarter, data-driven decisions,
whether they are executing quick intraday trades or want to build long-term
investment strategies. All investment options on one platform streamline
portfolio management, save time, and reduce hassle, assisting investors to
focus more on strategy.

Opening a Demat account with the OMNI app is easy.
New investors can complete the registration and KYC verification process
entirely online in a short time, with less manual  paperwork and no in-person visits. Existing
clients of YES SECURITIES just need to link their account, and they can access
a consolidated view of all holdings, past transactions, and portfolio
performance. So, migration from other platforms is smoother, along with a
coherent overview of one’s financial portfolio, offering a seamless user

OMNI also offers in-depth and real-time
portfolio tracking and analytics, giving investors a clear understanding of

performance and manage risk. This feature is helpful for those who invest in
equities, derivatives, mutual funds, and debt instruments, as it provides an
integrated view that helps maintain a balanced and diversified investment
approach. 

Security is OMNI’s key feature. It is secured
with end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, and industry-standard protocols
to ensure users&#039; personal and financial information remains safe. On top of it,
regular system updates assist in mitigating cybersecurity threats. Investors
can trade and manage their portfolios without any worry, knowing that both
their personal information and financial assets stay secure at all times. 

The app also delivers a personalised
experience. Algorithm-driven recommendations, customised watchlists, and
tailored market insights adapt to each investor’s preferences and trading
behaviour. Educational resources and research reports curated by market experts
are integrated within the platform to support financial literacy and help users
make well-informed investment decisions. This combination of automation and
user-focused design makes the OMNI app a suitable choice for both novice
investors seeking guidance and experienced traders looking for precise market
insights. 

Transactions on the OMNI app are fast,
transparent, and convenient. Users can execute trades with a few simple steps,
monitor order status in real time, and access detailed transaction summaries.
Multiple payment and settlement options simplify fund transfers, investments,
and withdrawals, ensuring clarity and control throughout the investment
process. The app’s responsive interface provides a trading experience that is helpful
for users of all expertise levels.

<description><![CDATA[ Gurugram,
Haryana | 2025 : Emperium Group, recognised as ‘Haryana’s most
trusted Realty Brand’ by the
Dainik Jagran Group,
continues to set industry benchmarks through its unwavering commitment to
ethical development, sustainability, and 100% on time delivery. With over 14
landmark projects across Gurugram, Panipat, and Yamuna Nagar, Emperium has
emerged as a regional leader known for building long term value and not just
structures.

Founded
in 2017 and deeply rooted in Haryana, Emperium has earned the trust of 6,000+
residents, backed by a proven track record of delivering every project on
time or ahead of schedule. 

The philosophy of “Building
Values” shapes Emperium’s approach to disciplined planning, on time
execution, ethical governance, and people first engagement, translating intent
into measurable delivery and enduring credibility 

Strong
Commitment to Society and the Environment 

Through the Emperium
Foundation, the Group actively contributes to social and environmental well
being across the regions it operates in. Key initiatives include 

●       
Plantation of over 40,000 trees across
Gurugram, Panipat, and Yamuna Nagar, reinforcing Emperium’s commitment to
environmental sustenance.

●       
Donation of study slates to students at the Government
Institute for the Blind (Girls &amp; Boys), Panipat, reinforcing inclusive
education for specially abled students. 

●       
Donation to Khushboo Foundation, Gurugram,
supporting infrastructural refinement through electrical supplies, along with
snacks and groceries for the children and faculty. 

●       
Distribution of blankets to
construction labourers across Gurugram project sites during winter,
prioritising dignity, care, and worker welfare 

These initiatives reflect Emperium’s belief
that real progress is measured not only by built spaces, but by the impact
created for societal &amp; environmental well being. 

People First Culture, Inside and Out 

At Emperium, values are not just promised to
customers, they are first lived by its employees. A progressive, people centric
culture empowers teams to deliver with integrity, consistency, and ownership,
translating internal values into trusted customer experiences. This commitment
is reinforced through employee focused policies, including education grants,
mandatory group insurance coverage, and regular training and upskilling
programmes that exceed industry benchmarks, anchored by a culture of professionalism,
transparency, teamwork, and Apnapan, a core value that fosters a deep sense of
belonging and shapes how Emperium builds enduring communities. 

This strong internal
culture is reflected in high employee engagement, professional customer service
standards, and consistent execution excellence. 

Differentiation Built on Trust and Delivery 

In an industry often challenged by delays and
opacity, Emperium addresses a critical market gap through a simple yet powerful
approach: 

100%
Deliver on time. Deliver with values. 

With IGBC certified Gold &amp; Platinum
developments, a focus on sustainability-led residencies, and thoughtfully
planned, low density communities, Emperium prioritises

long term lifestyle value over short term
gains. The Group has delivered 1.68 million sq. ft. in 2025 and is on
track to deliver an additional 3.23 million sq. ft. by mid 2026. 

“As Haryana continues to grow, our
responsibility as developers grows with it. Emperium will continue to expand,
staying true to our values while building communities that are relevant,
resilient, and trusted for generations” said Ravi Saund, Founding Director,
Emperium Group ]]></description>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the eve of Bihu Festival Producer Prabir Kanta Saha presents a powerful and socially relevant film with Bihu Attack, a project that courageously brings the issues of Assam, national security, and cultural identity into the cinematic spotlight. Set against the vibrant yet emotionally charged backdrop of the Bihu Festival, the film blends patriotism, human emotion, and high-stakes drama into a compelling narrative rooted in reality.</p>
<p>Designed as more than just a thriller, Bihu Attack reflects the deep connection between a region and the nation it belongs to. The film aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced in the North-East while celebrating unity, education, and social integration as the strongest weapons against extremism.</p>
<p>The film stars Dev Menaria , Daisy Shah, Arbaaz Khan, and Rahul Dev in prominent parts. The narrative is further strengthened by impactful performances from Raza Murad, Yukti Kapoor, Amiee Misobbah (Amiee Nazma Sultana), Hiten Tejwani, Mir Sarwar, Dimpu Baruah, Kalindri Das, Crosswell Timung, Jeet Raidut, and Amit Lekhwani, all playing important roles that add depth and authenticity to the story.</p>
<p>Bihu Attack tells the story of Raj Kunwar, a courageous and determined court martial officer from Assam, who dedicates his life to persuading various terrorist groups in the region to surrender and join the mainstream. A firm believer in education and social integration, Raj works closely with local communities, striving to build trust and guide misguided youth back into the system.</p>
<p>A widower living with his young daughter Driti, Raj Kunwar is admired for his inclusive outlook and rare ability to connect with people from all walks of life. However, his mission takes a dangerous turn when intelligence reports reveal a major terrorist attack planned during the Bihu Festival, coinciding with the visit of the Defence Minister to Assam.</p>
<p>Speaking about the film, producer Prabir Kanta Saha said: “Bihu Attack is very close to my heart. It is not just a film, but a reflection of Assam’s reality, its culture, and its people’s love for the nation. Through this story, we wanted to show that education, unity, and humanity are stronger than fear and violence. This film is our tribute to the brave forces and the spirit of Assam.”</p>
<p>With its strong patriotic core, culturally rich setting, and gripping narrative, Bihu Attack promises to be a meaningful cinematic experience that connects regional stories with national emotions</p>
<p>Bihu Attack is produced under the banner of PKS Film Production House, with Prabir Kanta Saha serving as the producer. The film is directed by Suzad Iqbal Khan, whose vision brings together realism, emotional depth, and intense storytelling.</p>]]> </content:encoded>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/girish-maliks-mahamantra-joins-oscar-race-a-timely-masterpiece-in-the-midst-of-global-unrest-and-wars-it-blends-science-spirituality-and-cinema</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India
has yet another moment of pride on the global cinematic stage. Mahamantra – The
Great Chant, the documentary feature directed by acclaimed filmmaker Girish
Malik and produced by Clapstem, has officially been included in the Academy
Awards’ Documentary Feature Reminder List, placing it firmly in contention for
the upcoming Oscars.

The
inclusion of Mahamantra on the Academy’s reminder list marks a crucial
milestone in its Oscar journey. It signals that the film is very much part of
the global awards conversation – one that goes beyond box-office numbers and
spectacle, and instead speaks to intellectual depth, spiritual inquiry and
universal relevance. For Indian cinema, especially in the documentary feature
space, this is a significant and encouraging achievement.

With
this entry, Mahamantra steps into a rare and prestigious league of Indian
documentaries that have brought global recognition to the country, including
The Elephant Whisperers and Period. End of Sentence, both of which went on to
win Academy Awards. Malik’s film now carries that legacy forward, reinforcing
India’s growing presence in world documentary cinema.

Produced
under the banner of Clapstem, Mahamantra reflects the company’s commitment to
meaningful, globally resonant storytelling. The film is not a documentary made
to chase headlines, but one born out of deep thought, research and quiet
conviction. Even before its Indian release, it has begun to leave a strong
impact internationally and within the festival circuit. Recently, Mahamantra was
showcased at IFFI Goa 2025 under a Special Focus category, where it received
remarkable responses from audiences and media alike. The film was widely
described as a powerful, visually immersive and profoundly timely piece.

At
its heart, Mahamantra – The Great Chant explores the ancient science of mantras
and asks a deeply human question: can age-old wisdom guide us through today’s
broken, restless and uncertain world? In a time marked by political unrest,
wars, emotional imbalance and rising mental health challenges, the film gently
bridges ancient knowledge with contemporary scientific thought.

Visually
captivating and artistically rich, &quot;MAHAMANTRA&quot; weaves together the
cosmic dance of Shiva, the resonance of his Damru, and Krishna&#039;s diplomatic
efforts to avert conflict.

The
documentary examines the sacred, ancient science of mantras, such as Om Namah
Shivaya, through the lenses of physics, consciousness studies and spiritual
traditions. Its journey is vast and awe-inspiring — moving from the Big Bang to
the Mahabharata, from World War II to the era of Oppenheimer — while always
remaining rooted in humanity’s shared search for meaning and healing.

With
the brilliance of Maestro Bickram Ghosh’s sound, the depth of Shubha Mudgal’s
voice, and the insight of Padma Shri Dr. Arvind Lal, the film carries a truly
global heartbeat, featuring leading scholars, thinkers and participants from
around the world and across belief systems.

Directed
by Girish Malik, a filmmaker known for creating cinema that consistently
travels internationally, Mahamantra continues his legacy of storytelling that
crosses borders. Malik’s work has previously been showcased on prestigious
platforms such as the Busan International Film Festival, Netflix and Indian
Panorama, and has earned National Awards. With Mahamantra, many consider he has
delivered his most ambitious and spiritually resonant work to date.

Speaking
about the film’s Oscar entry, Girish Malik shared: “Mahamantra was never made
with awards in mind. It was born out of a deep curiosity about sound,
consciousness and our collective human journey. To see the film reach the
Academy’s reminder list is humbling. It tells me that stories rooted in ancient
knowledge can still resonate with a global audience today.”

Set
against the backdrop of global unrest and conflict, Mahamantra stands as a
quiet yet powerful cinematic experience. It does not shout for attention, but
stays with the viewer long after the screen fades to black. Its inclusion on
the Academy’s reminder list is a subtle acknowledgment of the power of cinema
that dares to pause, reflect and ask deeper questions. Regardless of how the
Oscar journey unfolds, Mahamantra – The Great Chant has already secured its
place as a rare and meaningful contribution to Indian documentary cinema.

It
strengthens India’s position in the global non-fiction space and reminds us why
stories matter — that cinema, at its best, can become a bridge between ancient
wisdom and modern chaos, offering clarity, hope and connection in uncertain
times.

Mahamantra
– The Great Chant, produced by Clapstem Productions, is slated for its Indian
release in the coming months.

<title>BrandLoom Unveils Its 2026 Digital Marketing Roadmap, Defining AI&amp;Driven Growth Strategies for Modern Brands</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/brandloom-unveils-its-2026-digital-marketing-roadmap-defining-ai-driven-growth-strategies-for-modern-brands</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/brandloom-unveils-its-2026-digital-marketing-roadmap-defining-ai-driven-growth-strategies-for-modern-brands</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, India –
January 16th, 2026 : BrandLoom Consulting has
released its Digital Marketing Roadmap for 2026, a comprehensive
strategic framework that distills key lessons from 2025 and clearly outlines
what brands must prioritize and avoid as AI SEO optimization, platforms, and consumer behavior continue to evolve rapidly.

 

The roadmap draws from
BrandLoom’s hands-on experience across branding, AI-driven digital marketing, eCommerce, and performance-led growth, and is designed to help CMOs,
founders, and brand custodians allocate budgets more intelligently while
preparing for an AI-first marketing landscape.

 

“At the end of 2025, one
thing is clear: marketing success in 2026 will not come from chasing every new
tool or trend,” said Avinash Chandra, Founder &amp; CEO, BrandLoom
Consulting. “It will come from disciplined strategy, principled use of AI,
and a relentless focus on delivering real customer value.”

 

From Reflection to Roadmap: Why 2026 Needs a Reset

 

The 2026 roadmap begins by
examining what actually worked in 2025 versus what failed to deliver impact.
According to BrandLoom, many brands struggled not due to a lack of technology
but due to over-automation, shallow content, misaligned influencer
partnerships, and short-term performance thinking.

 

The roadmap positions 2026
as a year where clarity, context, and credibility will outperform volume
and noise.

 

AI-Powered Personalization: Precision Over
Automation

 

As a leading digital marketing consulting company in India, findings show that AI-driven
personalization delivered strong results when it enhanced relevance, such
as:

●       
Hyper-personalized
email campaigns based on real user behavior



●       
Dynamic
website experiences tailored to browsing history



●       
Predictive
analytics that anticipated customer needs

 

However, brands that relied
on robotic automation, unchecked AI-generated content, and reactive-only
marketing saw declining engagement and trust.

 

“The role of AI is not to
replace human judgment,” Avinash Chandra noted. “Its role is to amplify it.”

 

Short-Form Video: Authenticity Wins, AI Slop Loses

 

Short-form video continued
to dominate awareness in 2025, particularly through Instagram Reels and
YouTube Shorts, but only when content felt human and platform-native.

 

What worked:

●       
Behind-the-scenes
and authentic storytelling

●       
User-generated
content campaigns

●       
Platform-specific
optimization

 

What failed:

●       
Over-produced,
generic videos

●       
Recycled
content across platforms without adaptation

●       
AI-generated
‘slop’ that lacked originality or relevance

 

Influencer Marketing:
Trust Shifts to the Margins

 

The roadmap highlights a
decisive shift toward micro- and nano-influencers, particularly regional
and vernacular creators with high engagement and genuine community trust.

 

Long-term partnerships and
performance-linked contracts outperformed celebrity endorsements, many of which
suffered from low engagement and credibility gaps.

 

E-E-A-T SEO Strategy in 2026: From Rankings to
Recognition

 

Search optimization is
evolving beyond blue links. BrandLoom emphasizes that visibility in the SEO
strategy for 2026 will depend on:

●       
Optimization
for SEO in AI Overviews and conversational search

●       
Video
SEO and YouTube as a primary discovery engine

●       
Strong
E-E-A-T signals rooted in real expertise and experience

 

Brands that ignored voice,
visual search, and content clarity struggled to gain AI-led citations and
visibility.

 

Content Marketing Strategy in 2026: Depth,
Authority, and Decision Support

 

The roadmap underscores that
thin, generic content is no longer viable. High-performing content
focused on:

●       
Education
and problem-solving

●       
Interactive
tools like quizzes and calculators

●       
Thought
leadership from founders and executives, especially on LinkedIn

 

Performance Marketing:
Long-Term Value Over Short-Term Wins

 

BrandLoom’s 2026 strategy
advocates a move away from last-click attribution toward multi-touch
measurement, lifetime value modeling, and integrated online-offline
tracking.

 

Brands overly focused on
immediate conversions often undermine long-term brand equity and growth
potential.

 

Social Commerce and Emerging Trends

 

Social platforms are
becoming full-fledged commerce ecosystems. Successful brands simplified
checkout flows, embraced live shopping, and optimized for mobile-first buying
experiences.

 

Looking ahead, the roadmap
identifies emerging focus areas such as:

●       
AI voice
agents for real-time customer support, including vernacular languages

●       
Community-led
growth through authentic groups and UGC

●        ]]></description>

<title>iThink Logistics Leads India’s Next Phase of Intelligent E&amp;commerce Fulfilment with AI&amp;Led Growth Engine</title>

<description><![CDATA[ As India’s e-commerce logistics sector moves beyond
scale-driven expansion, iThink
Logistics is emerging as a leading force in the next phase of intelligent
fulfilment, backed by AI-led innovation, profitability and sustainable growth.

 

In a market long characterised by well-funded
platforms chasing rapid volume, iThink Logistics has built a differentiated
trajectory as a bootstrapped, profitable and home-grown logistics technology
company, scaling steadily without external capital. The company processes
millions of shipments annually for D2C brands, MSMEs and enterprise sellers,
and has reported strong double-digit growth over the past year driven by repeat
usage and high merchant retention.

 

Founded to address structural inefficiencies in
last-mile delivery and fulfilment, iThink Logistics has focused on building
sustainable unit economics rather than discount-led expansion. Profits have
been consistently reinvested into in-house technology, automation and product
innovation, allowing the company to scale while maintaining service quality and
operational control.

 

The company recently strengthened its technology stack
with the launch of a proprietary AI-powered logistics intelligence platform
designed to help merchants make real-time, data-backed decisions across
shipping, returns and customer experience. By analysing courier performance,
optimising routing and reducing return-to-origin rates, the platform enables
sellers to improve margins while maintaining delivery reliability.

 

Commenting on the company’s long-term approach, Zaiba Sarang, Co-founder,
iThink Logistics, said, “We believe the future of e-commerce fulfilment lies in
intelligence, not just infrastructure. Our focus has been on building AI-led
capabilities that help merchants take better decisions, improve efficiency and
create long-term value, while remaining profitable and disciplined in how we
scale.”

 

The emphasis on applied AI reflects a broader shift in
the logistics sector, where data-driven decision-making is becoming central to
profitability and predictability. By embedding intelligence into fulfilment
workflows, iThink Logistics is positioning itself as a strategic technology
partner rather than a transactional service provider.

 

As a home-grown platform built for India’s diverse
logistics landscape, iThink Logistics has expanded its footprint across Tier II
and Tier III markets, where delivery predictability remains a critical
challenge. The company plans to continue investing in AI-led capabilities,
expand carrier partnerships and deepen its analytics offerings, while staying
committed to its bootstrapped and profitable growth model.

 

As India’s e-commerce market matures, iThink
Logistics’ trajectory signals a clear transition in the sector, from
capital-fuelled scale to intelligence-led, sustainable fulfilment, positioning
the company at the forefront of the next phase of logistics innovation. ]]></description>

<title>NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE DEBUTS NEW BRAND PLATFORM &amp;apos;IT’S DIFFERENT OUT HERE&amp;apos;</title>

<description><![CDATA[ - NCL Reintroduces its Iconic 90s Tagline, “It’s
Different Out Here,” with a Modern Flair To Meet the Expectations of Today’s
Guests -

Mumbai:15 Jan. 2026 : Today, Norwegian Cruise Line® (NCL),
the innovator in global cruise travel with a 59-year history of breaking
boundaries, unveiled its new brand identity inspired by its iconic 90s tagline,
“It’s Different Out Here”.

 

The new platform is rooted in NCL’s history as a
pioneer in the industry and the creator of “Freestyle Cruising,” which
eliminated rigid traditional dining and entertainment schedules and allowed
guests to dine where, when and with whom they wish.  NCL defined the
cruise industry as we know it today with innovations including the first weekly
Caribbean cruises, the first cruise line to establish a private island – Great
Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas – the leader in solo cruising and a raft of onboard
firsts, from the Prima Speedway to the first charcoal sauna at sea. The new
positioning celebrates the disruptor mentality that has always set NCL apart
and is now reimagined for travellers who value curated experiences, flexibility
and meaningful time with their loved ones where they can be fully
present. 

Developed in partnership with Arnold Worldwide,
the refreshed brand platform reframes what cruising can feel like and leans
into a world where memories matter more than offerings, and the freedom to be
fully present is the ultimate goal of any holiday, replacing the industry’s
obsession with scaling up and attraction overload. 

“This is a pivotal moment for Norwegian Cruise Line.
We’re not just launching a campaign – we’re re-anchoring our brand in the
values that have always set us apart: freedom and flexibility,” said Kiran
Smith, chief marketing officer of Norwegian Cruise Line. “For nearly 60 years,
NCL has been an innovator, and this transformation honors that legacy while
meeting the expectations of today’s guests. Delivering on this vision takes
trusted partners who understand our DNA, and Arnold has helped us bring it to
life in a way that is authentic, and unmistakably NCL.”

“It’s Different Out Here is more than a
tagline — it’s our commitment to delivering true freedom and flexibility to our
guests across Asia, on every sailing,” said Ben Angell, Vice President and
Managing Director, APAC, Norwegian Cruise Line.  “In a market where
travellers are seeking experiences that feel more personal and less
prescriptive, NCL stands apart by creating holidays that feel effortless and
tailored around the individual, not a fixed schedule. Through digital and
social storytelling, we’re excited to share what makes cruising with NCL feel
genuinely different for this region.”

The effort to bring the new brand identity to a wider
audience includes a multi-media advertising campaign introducing a completely
new look and feel for the brand that is focused on showing the cruiser&#039;s point
of view, not just the amenities on board. The new visual identity evokes
freedom with its airy, fluid, and uncluttered design that gives a sense of
presence in the current moment. Across channels, the creative reclaims a differentiated
position in a category where everything has started to look the same.
 

The new platform, “It’s Different Out Here,” debuts
at the start of a historic year for Norwegian Cruise Line, as the company is
set to launch the 21st ship into its fleet, Norwegian Luna™, in
March, as well as open new enhancements to its private island in the Bahamas,
Great Stirrup Cay, including the introduction of Great Tides Waterpark this
summer, among other exciting milestones.

 

For more information about the Company&#039;s award-winning
fleet and worldwide itineraries, or to book a cruise, please contact a travel
professional, call NCL India on +91 22 7127 9333

<p class="MsoNormal">Developed in partnership with <a href="https://arn.com/"><span>Arnold Worldwide</span></a>, the refreshed brand platform reframes what cruising can feel like and leans into a world where memories matter more than offerings, and the freedom to be fully present is the ultimate goal of any holiday, replacing the industry’s obsession with scaling up and attraction overload. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“This is a pivotal moment for Norwegian Cruise Line. We’re not just launching a campaign – we’re re-anchoring our brand in the values that have always set us apart: freedom and flexibility,” said Kiran Smith, chief marketing officer of Norwegian Cruise Line. “For nearly 60 years, NCL has been an innovator, and this transformation honors that legacy while meeting the expectations of today’s guests. Delivering on this vision takes trusted partners who understand our DNA, and Arnold has helped us bring it to life in a way that is authentic, and unmistakably NCL.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“<i>It’s Different Out Here</i> is more than a tagline — it’s our commitment to delivering true freedom and flexibility to our guests across Asia, on every sailing,” said Ben Angell, Vice President and Managing Director, APAC, Norwegian Cruise Line.  “In a market where travellers are seeking experiences that feel more personal and less prescriptive, NCL stands apart by creating holidays that feel effortless and tailored around the individual, not a fixed schedule. Through digital and social storytelling, we’re excited to share what makes cruising with NCL feel genuinely different for this region.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The effort to bring the new brand identity to a wider audience includes a multi-media advertising campaign introducing a completely new look and feel for the brand that is focused on showing the cruiser's point of view, not just the amenities on board. The new visual identity evokes freedom with its airy, fluid, and uncluttered design that gives a sense of presence in the current moment. Across channels, the creative reclaims a differentiated position in a category where everything has started to look the same.<br> </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The new platform, “It’s Different Out Here,” debuts at the start of a historic year for Norwegian Cruise Line, as the company is set to launch the 21<sup>st</sup> ship into its fleet, Norwegian Luna™, in March, as well as open new enhancements to its private island in the Bahamas, Great Stirrup Cay, including the introduction of Great Tides Waterpark this summer, among other exciting milestones.</p>

<description><![CDATA[ Secures second honor for Responsible
Finance at the Global Inclusion Finance Summit

Mumbai, January 15, 2026 : Muthoot Microfin Limited (NSE:
MUTHOOTMF, BSE: 544055), among India’s leading Non-Banking Financial
Company-Micro Finance Institution (NBFC-MFI), has secured two prestigious
national awards at the Inclusive Finance India Awards 2025, presented at the
Global Inclusion Finance Summit 2026. 

Dr. V. Anantha Nageswaran, Chief Economic Advisor of India, Department of
Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Government of India, presented the dual
honors alongside Vipin Sharma, CEO, ACCESS Development Services, and Hitendra
Dave, Chief Executive Officer, HSBC India. The summit was organized by ACCESS
Development Services in partnership with GoI Ministry of Finance and HSBC, bringing
together leaders from banking, microfinance, fintech, and policy-making
circles.

Muthoot Microfin was recognized as, Financial Inclusion Institution
of the Year, and along with it, was also awarded for Responsible
Finance for Sustainability. 

The Financial Inclusion Institution of the Year award recognizes Muthoot
Microfin’s unwavering commitment to transforming lives at the grassroots by
expanding access to formal credit and financial services. Through its extensive
on-ground network of 1,718 branches spread across 21 states and 392 districts,
the company currently serves 33.6 lakh active customers, empowering underserved
communities and small entrepreneurs, with a Gross Loan Portfolio of ₹12,558.8
crore as of September 30, 2025.

The Responsible Finance for Sustainability award validates Muthoot
Microfin&#039;s concrete sustainability initiatives in FY25 including operating 50+
solar powered branches, disbursing ₹306.5 crore in sanitation loans and ₹29.2
crore in solar product loans, and supporting clients through more than 90,000
natural catastrophe insurance claims. The company is steadily embedding the
SDGs into its core operations and service, currently impacting 14 UN SDGs.

The awards acknowledge the company&#039;s impact in serving women borrowers
across rural India through its Joint Liability Group (JLG) model. By focusing
exclusively on women from low-income households, Muthoot Microfin has enabled
micro-enterprises, from vegetable vending and tailoring units to dairy farming
and agriculture-linked activities, to grow with dignity and financial
independence. 

Commenting on the achievement, Mr. Sadaf Sayeed, CEO, Muthoot
Microfin Limited, said “We are honored to receive these recognitions at
a time when microfinance plays a vital role in advancing India’s financial
inclusion agenda. The ‘Financial Inclusion Institution of the Year’
recognition is an acknowledgement of how deeply financial inclusion is embedded
in the way Muthoot Microfin operates. Our focus has been on reaching women who
are often excluded from formal finance and supporting them in building stable
livelihoods through responsible, transparent lending. For us, inclusion is not
measured by scale alone, but by the resilience it creates at the household
level, whether through sustained income, access to essential services, or
protection during periods of uncertainty. Our approach to responsible finance
integrates livelihood support with sustainable practices, whether through clean
energy solutions, sanitation financing, access to healthcare, or protection
during times of distress. We remain committed to growing responsibly, ensuring
that every initiative strengthens the communities we serve and contributes
meaningfully to a more inclusive and sustainable economic ecosystem. These
recognitions support our belief that long-term value for the institution is
created when growth is aligned with trust, care, and meaningful impact on the
communities we serve.”

The Inclusive Finance India Awards, instituted by ACCESS Development
Services, a leading development sector support organization, recognize
excellence, innovation, and responsibility across the financial inclusion
ecosystem. The awards celebrate organizations that demonstrate outstanding
impact in making finance accessible, affordable, and sustainable for
underserved communities.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, 15 January 2026 : Malaysia Airlines has entered a landmark partnership with Mumbai Indians,
India’s most successful and widely followed cricket team, serving as both
Associate Sponsor and Official Global Airline Partner. This collaboration is
part of the airline’s broader strategy to accelerate sports-led brand and

Airlines’ long-term commitment to strengthening its presence in India, one of
its most important growth markets.

kites were released at Jio World Gardens in Mumbai, in conjunction with Makar
Sankranti, India&#039;s annual kite flying festival, symbolising the coming together

selected player-led appearances, designed to connect cricket fans with Malaysia
Airlines beyond match days.

Malaysia Airlines will continue to promote its Bonus Side Trip (BST) programme,
allowing eligible international travellers transiting through Kuala Lumpur
International Airport (KUL) Terminal 1 to explore an additional Malaysian
destination with no additional fare (excluding taxes). Travellers can choose

<title>RenewCred Closes INR 4.15 Crore Seed Round to Build India’s First Technology&amp;Native Carbon Credits Standard and Registry</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, India | January 15, 2026  :  RenewCred
(Net Zero Initiative Private Limited), a climate-technology company building
India’s first fully digital, science-led carbon credit standard and registry
for the voluntary carbon market, has successfully closed its ₹4.15 crore seed
funding round, comprising a mix of equity and grants.

The round was led by Campus
Angels Network
and saw participation from Kairos
Early Opportunity Fund, build3 Startup Studio, VentureStudio Ahmedabad University, Ideashacks
Investor Network, ACT
Capital Foundation, Social Innovation Lab by CITI Bank-IIT Kanpur and Angel
Investors.

Founded by Abhimanyu
Rathi with Yogendra
Panchal, Shilpi Saboo and Kaushik Gupta in the leadership team, RenewCred
is building the core market infrastructure for high-integrity carbon credits,
with a sharp focus on non-nature-based methodologies such as Biochar, EV
fleets, renewable energy, methane reduction, clean fuels, and industrial
decarbonisation. The company is among the earliest in India to operate as a
carbon credit standard and registry, purpose-built for emerging market
realities. Through its offerings, the company aims to remove 2.0 gigatons of
greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere in the next 14 years. 

A New Carbon Market Stack for India

At the heart of RenewCred’s approach is its proprietary
digital platform, Net Zero, which enables continuous monitoring, reporting, and
verification (digital MRV) at the level of each individual credit issued.
Unlike legacy, document-heavy carbon systems, RenewCred’s platform integrates
live data streams, scientific models, and automated checks to reduce
verification timelines by 75%, lower transaction costs by over 50%, and
significantly improve trust and auditability.

RenewCred is supported by a growing science network of
domain experts, who co-develop sector-specific methodologies, validate
assumptions, and ensure that credits issued are conservative, measurable, and
defensible across global buyer scrutiny.

The company is scheduled to issue its first set of
carbon credits this quarter, marking a key milestone in operationalising a
fully Indian, technology-native carbon market infrastructure.

Leadership Commentary

Abhimanyu Rathi, Founder &amp; CEO, RenewCred, said:
“Carbon markets today suffer from five structural problems: lack of trust,
opaque data, slow verification cycles, high costs, and fragmented
accountability. RenewCred is being built to solve exactly these failures. By
combining rigorous science, a transparent standard, a live registry, and a
technology platform that monitors every credit end-to-end, we are creating
market infrastructure that is faster, more affordable, and fundamentally more
credible. This round allows us to deepen our methodologies, scale Net Zero, and
deliver carbon credits that buyers and regulators can genuinely trust.”

Chandran
Krishnan,
Managing Director, Campus Angels Network, said:
&quot;What stands out for us is RenewCred’s clear understanding of the
structural gaps in carbon markets and their focus on building credible,
technology-led infrastructure. They are addressing a real problem with
relevance for India’s evolving climate and compliance landscape. Through this investment,
we are backing a team with strong scientific depth and execution capability.”

Ashok Subramanian, Managing Partner,
Kairos Early Opportunity Fund, added:
“High-quality carbon markets will be built on technology, not paperwork.
RenewCred’s decision to focus on non-nature-based credits, continuous data, and
in-house standards and registry infrastructure positions them well for where
global markets are headed. We see strong potential for RenewCred to emerge as a
reference platform for credible carbon credits from India.” 

Looking Ahead

Over the next 9-12
months, RenewCred will focus on:


 Expanding
     its library of non-nature-based carbon credit methodologies
 Scaling
     the Net Zero digital MRV and registry platform
 Growing
     its science network and sector-specific expertise
 Onboarding
     project developers and buyers seeking transparent, continuously verified
     carbon credits
 Establishing
     India as a credible source of high-integrity, technology-verified carbon credits
     for global markets


As carbon markets mature and scrutiny intensifies,
RenewCred is being built as foundational market infrastructure which is
engineered to deliver speed, integrity, and verifiable trust at scale for the
global net-zero transition.

<title>India Sports Floorings Secures BWF Certification</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Chennai, 14th
January 2026 : India
Sports Floorings, a leading Indian manufacturer of sports flooring solutions,
has reached a significant milestone with the Badminton World Federation (BWF)
granting certification to both its wooden badminton flooring system and
synthetic badminton court mat. This marks the first time an Indian company has
received BWF certification across both categories, placing India Sports
Floorings on the global badminton infrastructure map.

Becomes First
Indian Company to Receive BWF Certification for Badminton Flooring Systems

The BWF
certification confirms that the company’s badminton flooring systems meet
international technical and performance standards required for professional
play. These standards assess key parameters such as shock absorption, surface
friction, durability, and player safety which are all critical factors for
competitive badminton environments.

The certification
applies to two of the company’s flagship products:


 ISF
     1 – Professional Badminton Wooden Flooring
 ISF
     2 – Professional Badminton PVC Badminton Court Mat


With this
certification, badminton facilities across India can now install flooring systems
manufactured domestically while meeting eligibility criteria for national and
international tournaments sanctioned by the Badminton World Federation.

Commenting on the
achievement, Mr. M. Mahendra, Founder, India Sports Floorings, said, “This
certification is a defining moment as an Indian manufacturer. It validates the
technical strength of our products and the depth of work that has gone into
developing flooring systems aligned with global playing standards. Our aim has
always been to make world-class sports infrastructure accessible within the
country, and this recognition from the BWF takes us in that direction.”

The dual
certification also reflects a growing shift toward high-quality Indian-made
sports infrastructure, reducing reliance on imported systems while offering
tournament-ready solutions to academies, stadiums, and training centres.

By meeting BWF
standards, India Sports Floorings enables badminton venues in India to
confidently host high-level competitions, while supporting the growth of the
sport through standardized playing environments. The certification is expected
to benefit state associations, private academies, educational institutions, and
professional venues seeking internationally compliant badminton courts.

This development
shows capability of Indian manufacturing to deliver sports infrastructure
solutions aligned with global benchmarks, contributing to the broader evolution
of competitive sports facilities across the country.

years, this vision has translated into a thriving network of outlets spread
across more than 40 cities in India.

Built
on the foundation of quality, innovation, and a passion for pancakes, the brand
has grown from a cozy café to a recognizable name in the casual dining and QSR
segment.

A
Brand That Celebrates Pancakes and More

While
pancakes are at the heart of its menu, Uncle Peter’s Pancakes offers much more.
Its diverse offerings include waffles, shakes, specialty coffee, and savory dishes—designed
to cater to a wide range of palates and preferences.

Every
outlet reflects a warm, contemporary aesthetic, creating a space that appeals
to students, working professionals, and families alike. Whether for breakfast,
an afternoon treat, or a quick bite, the brand provides an all-day dining
experience that customers keep coming back to.

Rapid
Expansion Through a Scalable Model

The
brand’s franchise-led growth model has played a critical role in this
milestone. With comprehensive support systems for partners, Uncle Peter’s
Pancakes has enabled rapid expansion while maintaining consistency in service,
design, and quality across all locations.

This
plug-and-play approach has attracted a wide network of franchise partners,
helping the brand scale swiftly without compromising on its standards.

Consistency,
Creativity, and Customer-Centricity

What
sets Uncle Peter’s Pancakes apart is its unwavering commitment to quality and
experience. Each recipe is carefully developed to deliver global flavors with a
local touch, ensuring that the brand’s identity remains fresh and relatable to
Indian consumers.

The
brand also focuses heavily on training, design uniformity, and customer
service—ensuring that whether you visit an outlet in Bangalore or in Kolkata,
you receive the same delightful experience.

What
Lies Ahead

With
50 more outlets soon to open, the next phase of growth will see the brand
entering new territories and deepening its presence in high-potential markets.
Plans are also underway to introduce more tech-integrated experiences, expand
the menu further, and strengthen the franchise network.

Uncle
Peter’s Pancakes aims to continue growing in both metro cities and emerging
markets, cementing its position as a modern, high-potential brand in India’s
vibrant F&amp;B landscape.

A
Milestone That Reflects More Than Numbers

Reaching
100 outlets is more than just a business achievement—it reflects a growing
customer base that has embraced the concept of a dedicated pancake QSR. Uncle
Peter’s Pancakes is not just serving food; it’s building a culture around
comfort, flavor, and innovation.

As
it looks ahead, the brand remains focused on delivering consistent value and
unique experiences to its customers—one pancake at a time. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, 13 January 2026 : Season 4 of the RR Kabel Prime Volleyball League powered
by Scapia, held in Hyderabad, in October 2025, delivered a landmark performance
recording 239 million views across live TV &amp; YouTube broadcast.

Season
4 witnessed massive 1.1 billion views across content categories &amp; platforms
with an unprecedented one-of-a-kind partnership with YouTube, a first for
Indian sports leagues. The season marked a clear shift in how PVL engaged with
younger audiences. Through collaborations with platforms such as Snapchat, the
league focused on short-form storytelling to reach young millennial fans.
Volleyball-focused creators were also formally recognised as league
ambassadors, helping extend the sport beyond matchday coverage.

This
approach delivered strong returns across platforms, with YouTube emerging as a
central engagement driver with over 500 hours of live broadcast across six Sony
Sports Network channels and in six languages.

Cumulative
live TV viewership for the fourth season stood at 88.2 million, marking a 7%
percent increase compared to the previous season. The television audience was
nearly evenly split across gender, with 57 percent male and 43 percent female
viewership.

For
the first time, PVL also streamed its live matches on YouTube across six
languages; Hindi, English, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada, generating
over 151 million cumulative views during Season 4 where 80 percent of the
digital audience were aged between 18 and 44 years underlining league’s strong
connect among young mobile first viewers.

Commenting
on the season, Joy Bhattacharjya, CEO, Prime Volleyball League said, “PVL
has always looked to innovate, whether it’s in how the sport is presented or
how fans consume content around it. As an emerging league, we’ve consistently
explored newer formats and platforms, and Season 4 showed how strongly that
approach resonates with today’s digital-first audiences.”

Overall
social engagement also saw a sharp rise, with the league generating 105 million
engagements during the season, nearly 30 times higher than the previous year.
Creator-led content played a significant role in this growth, delivering over
48 million views across 353 videos, despite only a limited increase in content
volume compared to Season 3.

“Season
4 was about putting digital at the centre of the league’s growth. By partnering
closely with platforms and giving creators a meaningful role in the PVL
ecosystem, we were able to grow the volleyball audience in a way that feels
authentic and sustainable,” Tuhin Mishra, MD and Co-Founder, Baseline
Ventures, PVL’s exclusive marketing partner added.

With
unprecedented digital growth, rising broadcast and streaming viewership, and a
rapidly expanding youth fan base, PVL Season 4 has established a new benchmark
for how emerging sports leagues in India can build scale, relevance and fandom
through a digital-first ecosystem.

<title>JaldiRide Connect Pvt Ltd Launches Next&amp;Generation Mobility Platform to Simplify Local and Intercity Travel Across India</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/jaldiride-connect-pvt-ltd-launches-next-generation-mobility-platform-to-simplify-local-and-intercity-travel-across-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bareilly,
Uttar Pradesh, India : JaldiRide Connect Pvt Ltd, a technology-driven mobility startup, has
introduced its digital ride-booking platform designed to make everyday travel
safer, simpler, and more accessible for commuters across India. The platform
enables users to book autos, cars, and buses through a single interface,
offering a unified solution for short city rides as well as longer intercity
journeys.

With
growing urbanization and rising demand for flexible transportation, Indian
commuters are increasingly seeking dependable, transparent, and easy-to-use
travel options. JaldiRide Connect aims to meet this demand by combining digital
convenience with local mobility networks, creating a platform that connects
riders and drivers in real time while ensuring security, clarity, and ease of use.

Accessible
through the company’s website, www.jaldirideconnect.com, the JaldiRide Connect
platform allows users to enter their pickup and drop locations, select a
preferred vehicle type, and confirm their ride using OTP-based verification.
This process ensures that every trip begins with a verified rider-driver match,
helping improve safety and reduce operational errors.

The
platform offers multiple vehicle categories within a single system, allowing
users to choose autos for quick urban travel, cars for comfortable private
journeys, or buses for longer routes and group travel. This flexibility makes
JaldiRide Connect suitable for daily commuters, working professionals,
students, and travelers seeking reliable transportation without having to
switch between multiple apps or service providers.

Safety
and Transparency at the Core

JaldiRide
Connect has been built with a strong focus on safety and transparency. Every
ride on the platform includes real-time tracking, enabling users to monitor
their journey from pickup to drop-off. The system also supports masked phone
number communication, allowing riders and drivers to connect without sharing
personal contact details.

Fare
visibility is another key feature. Users receive fare estimates before
confirming a booking, helping eliminate uncertainty and hidden charges. Digital
payment options further streamline the experience by allowing cashless and
convenient transactions.

In
addition, driver ratings and feedback tools allow riders to share their
experience after each trip, contributing to quality control and continuous
service improvement across the network.

Supporting
Drivers and Local Operators

Beyond
serving passengers, JaldiRide Connect has been designed to support drivers and
local transport operators by providing a technology platform that helps them
access more ride opportunities and manage their work efficiently. Driver
partners can accept bookings instantly, track earnings in real time, and
operate with flexible schedules.

The
platform also allows partners to manage multiple vehicles and receive
operational support, helping independent drivers and small fleet owners
participate more actively in the digital mobility ecosystem. By connecting
drivers directly with customers through a transparent system, JaldiRide Connect
reduces dependency on intermediaries while improving earning potential.

A
Vision for Inclusive Mobility

JaldiRide
Connect Pvt Ltd was founded with the goal of making transportation more inclusive,
reliable, and user-friendly. The company’s approach focuses on creating a
strong link between technology and local transport networks, ensuring that both
riders and drivers benefit from a more organized and transparent system.

The
company is led by Founder
and Chief Executive Officer Jai Shankar Bajpai, Managing Director and Co-Founder
Gauri Shankar Bajpai, and Director Tanu Yadav, who together bring
a shared vision of building a technology-enabled mobility platform that
supports everyday travel needs across India.

The
leadership team believes that daily travel should not be complicated by unclear
pricing, safety concerns, or limited access to reliable vehicles. By combining
digital tools with community-based driver networks, JaldiRide Connect aims to
deliver a mobility experience that is both modern and locally relevant.

Expanding
with India’s Growing Mobility Needs

As
India’s cities continue to grow and commuter patterns evolve, the need for
flexible and on-demand transportation solutions is becoming increasingly
important. JaldiRide Connect is positioning itself to serve this demand by
continuously expanding its service coverage and improving its technology
platform.

Starting
February,
the JaldiRide mobile
application will be launched on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store,
allowing users to book rides directly through their smartphones. This app
rollout is expected to further enhance accessibility and convenience for riders
while providing drivers with a dedicated platform to manage bookings and
earnings.

<title>House of Hiranandani Maps Future Connectivity of Thane Through AI&amp;Led Infrastructure Visualisation</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/house-of-hiranandani-maps-future-connectivity-of-thane-through-ai-led-infrastructure-visualisation</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/house-of-hiranandani-maps-future-connectivity-of-thane-through-ai-led-infrastructure-visualisation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, 13 Jan 2026 :
House of Hiranandani has released an AI-led visualisation titled “Future Routes, Future
Thane” to show how upcoming transport infrastructure is expected
to improve connectivity from Thane over the next few years. The film uses
AI-generated images and videos, combined with Government-approved project data,
to explain how new tunnels, metro lines, expressways, and airport corridors are
likely to reduce travel time between Thane and key parts of the Mumbai
Metropolitan Region.

 

Anchored around House of Hiranandani’s Westgate
project in Thane, this initiative is designed to help prospective homebuyers
evaluate the long-term impact of upcoming infrastructure on daily mobility,
connectivity, and the location&#039;s overall livability.

 

The visualisation focuses on seven major transport
corridors that are expected to converge around Thane, positioning Thane as a
well-connected residential location within the MMR. The approach highlights
multiple access routes rather than dependence on a single road or rail line,
which has traditionally been a challenge for commuters.

 

This infrastructure-led transformation of Thane aligns
closely with the Government of India’s Vision 2030, which focuses on
building future-ready cities through integrated mobility, multi-modal transport
networks, and transit-oriented urban development. Under this vision, large-scale
investments in metros, highways, expressways, and airport corridors are
intended to reduce congestion, improve commute reliability, and support
decentralised urban growth across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Projects such
as Metro Routes 4 and 5, the Thane-Borivali Twin Tube Tunnel, and the
Thane-Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) Elevated Road reflect this
broader national objective creating cities where infrastructure planning
directly improves everyday mobility, economic access, and long-term liveability
for residents.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur8RFcb1lqQ 

 

According to the House of Hiranandani, the combined
impact of these projects goes beyond shorter travel time. Improved connectivity
is expected to make employment hubs, commercial districts, and social
infrastructure easier to access, while reducing daily travel uncertainty for
residents.

 

The AI-based film differs from traditional real estate
communication by relying on verified infrastructure data instead of lifestyle
imagery. It overlays planned routes, project timelines, and traffic simulations
to show how congestion levels are expected to change as new corridors become
operational.

 

“Homes are increasingly being evaluated on
connectivity and commute predictability,” said Mr. Prashin Jhobalia, Chief
Marketing Officer, House of Hiranandani. “This visualisation uses AI and
publicly available data to show how upcoming infrastructure can impact daily
travel, helping buyers make more informed decisions.”

 

The connectivity framework presented for Thane is
similar to transit-led development models seen in cities such as Singapore and
London, where large-scale infrastructure investments have supported residential
growth and long-term demand.

 

By focusing on how future infrastructure affects daily
mobility, the initiative addresses a key concern for urban homebuyers—how a
location will perform as cities expand. As Mumbai’s growth increasingly spreads
across multiple centres, infrastructure-led planning is expected to play a
larger role in residential decision-making.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">Mumbai, 13 Jan 2026 :</span></b><span lang="EN-IN"> House of Hiranandani has released an AI-led visualisation titled <i>“</i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur8RFcb1lqQ"><i>Future Routes, Future Thane</i></a><i>”</i> to show how upcoming transport infrastructure is expected to improve connectivity from Thane over the next few years. The film uses AI-generated images and videos, combined with Government-approved project data, to explain how new tunnels, metro lines, expressways, and airport corridors are likely to reduce travel time between Thane and key parts of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Anchored around House of Hiranandani’s Westgate project in Thane, this initiative is designed to help prospective homebuyers evaluate the long-term impact of upcoming infrastructure on daily mobility, connectivity, and the location's overall livability.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The visualisation focuses on seven major transport corridors that are expected to converge around Thane, positioning Thane as a well-connected residential location within the MMR. The approach highlights multiple access routes rather than dependence on a single road or rail line, which has traditionally been a challenge for commuters.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">This infrastructure-led transformation of Thane aligns closely with the <b>Government of India’s Vision 2030</b>, which focuses on building future-ready cities through integrated mobility, multi-modal transport networks, and transit-oriented urban development. Under this vision, large-scale investments in metros, highways, expressways, and airport corridors are intended to reduce congestion, improve commute reliability, and support decentralised urban growth across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Projects such as Metro Routes 4 and 5, the Thane-Borivali Twin Tube Tunnel, and the Thane-Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) Elevated Road reflect this broader national objective creating cities where infrastructure planning directly improves everyday mobility, economic access, and long-term liveability for residents.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur8RFcb1lqQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur8RFcb1lqQ</a> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">According to the House of Hiranandani, the combined impact of these projects goes beyond shorter travel time. Improved connectivity is expected to make employment hubs, commercial districts, and social infrastructure easier to access, while reducing daily travel uncertainty for residents.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The AI-based film differs from traditional real estate communication by relying on verified infrastructure data instead of lifestyle imagery. It overlays planned routes, project timelines, and traffic simulations to show how congestion levels are expected to change as new corridors become operational.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">“Homes are increasingly being evaluated on connectivity and commute predictability,” said <b>Mr. Prashin Jhobalia, Chief Marketing Officer, House of Hiranandani</b>. “This visualisation uses AI and publicly available data to show how upcoming infrastructure can impact daily travel, helping buyers make more informed decisions.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The connectivity framework presented for Thane is similar to transit-led development models seen in cities such as Singapore and London, where large-scale infrastructure investments have supported residential growth and long-term demand.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">By focusing on how future infrastructure affects daily mobility, the initiative addresses a key concern for urban homebuyers—how a location will perform as cities expand. As Mumbai’s growth increasingly spreads across multiple centres, infrastructure-led planning is expected to play a larger role in residential decision-making.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
13th January 2026 : Gera Developments Private Limited (GDPL),
pioneers in premium residential and commercial real estate in Pune, Goa,
Bengaluru, and California, today released the January 2026 edition of The Gera
Pune Residential Realty Report, its bi-annual, census-based study of Pune’s
residential real estate market.

Now
in its 15th year, the report remains Pune’s only comprehensive
census of the residential market, tracking over 1,900 active projects and
nearly 2.9 lakh homes under development, offering a data-driven view of market
performance for the 12 months ended December 2025.

Key
Highlights:

●     
Steep rise in Prices:
Average prices increased by ~11.8% year-on-year to ₹7,367 per sq ft, the
sharpest annual rise in the past five years

●     
Sales remain stable:
Residential sales stood at approximately 90,591 units, representing a
marginal 1% year-on-year dip

●     
Drop in interest rates: The
drop of approx 125 basis points in interest rates over the year increases
affordability by almost 9% acting as a counter balance to the increased rate
per sq ft. 

●     
Supply rebounds: New
launches increased to 98,472 units up from 91,402 units in 2024, pushing
the replacement ratio to 1.09

●     
Inventory value surges:
Total unsold inventory value rose sharply to an all-time high of ₹85,680
crore, up nearly 30% year-over-year.

●     
Inventory overhang increases:
Overhang rose to 10.77 months

●     
Structural consolidation continues:
Number of active projects declined sharply to 1,918, driven by the exit
of smaller developers

●     
Larger homes dominate:
Average size of newly launched homes reached 1,266 sq ft, the highest on
record

●     
Market shifts towards higher bedroom count:
36% of homes launched are 3 &amp; 4 bedroom to align with the modern
homebuyer’s demand.

●     
Stark divergence in segmental performance:
While the Luxury (&gt; ₹9,717 per sq. ft.) and Premium tiers (₹6,581 - ₹9,717
per sq. ft.) remain resilient through ‘Value Migration’, the mid-market (₹4,720
- ₹6,581 per sq. ft.) segments are recalibrating under the weight of ‘Sticker
Shock’.

Market
Overview:

Pune’s
residential market in 2025 remained stable but increasingly sensitive to
supply, pricing, and affordability dynamics. 

Average
prices per sq ft have risen 11.8%, this change is significant as it comes on
the back of 4 years of rising prices and is greater than any of the increases
in the previous 4 years.  Notably
however, home sales during 2025 were stable with approximately 90,000 homes
being sold - broadly in line with the homes sold in 2024. 

This
stability has been supported largely by falling interest rates, which have
partially offset the sharp rise in overall ticket sizes. The EMI for a 20-year
mortgage at 8.75% is ₹883/lakh whereas at 7.5% the EMI is ₹805/lakh. This is a
near 9% increase in affordability on account of the drop-in interest rates. 

Demand
for larger homes and premium configurations has remained resilient. Sales
growth was strongest in homes sized 1,400 sq ft and above, while compact homes
continued to see pressure.

Supply,
Inventory and Developer Behaviour:

After
two years of restrained launches, developers increased supply in the latter
half of 2025, representing an 8% increase year-over-year. The total number of new
units launched for the 12 months ended December 2025 reached 98,472 units. This
pushed the replacement ratio above equilibrium, resulting in a measurable
increase in inventory available for sale which now stands at 81,330 units, up
from 74,656 units in December 2024.

Importantly,
this increase in inventory has been accompanied by a sharp rise in inventory
value, not unit count alone. The total value of inventory available for sale
has surged to an all-time high of ₹85,680 crore, a staggering 30% year-on-year
increase from the ₹65,899 crore recorded in December 2024. This divergence,
where the value of inventory is growing significantly faster than the unit
count, confirms that Pune has successfully migrated toward higher-ticket,
larger-format homes marking a transition in Pune’s residential market from
volume-led growth to value-led outcomes driven by a more mature and affluent
buyer profile.

At
the same time, the number of active projects fell sharply, underscoring ongoing
market consolidation. Smaller projects and developers continue to exit, while
supply is increasingly concentrated within large, capital-intensive
developments.

Commenting
on the findings, Mr Rohit Gera, Managing Director, Gera Developments Private
Limited, said: “The Pune residential market at the end of 2025 is not weak,
but it is no longer on autopilot. Prices have risen sharply, inventory value
has expanded significantly, and supply has begun to edge ahead of absorption.
These are not alarming signals in isolation, but together they suggest a market
that is far more sen ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Market Overview:</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Pune’s residential market in 2025 remained stable but increasingly sensitive to supply, pricing, and affordability dynamics. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Average prices per sq ft have risen 11.8%, this change is significant as it comes on the back of 4 years of rising prices and is greater than any of the increases in the previous 4 years.<span>  </span>Notably however, home sales during 2025 were stable with approximately 90,000 homes being sold - broadly in line with the homes sold in 2024. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">This stability has been supported largely by falling interest rates, which have partially offset the sharp rise in overall ticket sizes. The EMI for a 20-year mortgage at 8.75% is ₹883/lakh whereas at 7.5% the EMI is ₹805/lakh. This is a near 9% increase in affordability on account of the drop-in interest rates. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Demand for larger homes and premium configurations has remained resilient. Sales growth was strongest in homes sized 1,400 sq ft and above, while compact homes continued to see pressure.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Supply, Inventory and Developer Behaviour:</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">After two years of restrained launches, developers increased supply in the latter half of 2025, representing an 8% increase year-over-year. The total number of new units launched for the 12 months ended December 2025 reached 98,472 units. This pushed the replacement ratio above equilibrium, resulting in a measurable increase in inventory available for sale which now stands at 81,330 units, up from 74,656 units in December 2024.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Importantly, this increase in inventory has been accompanied by a sharp rise in inventory value, not unit count alone. The total value of inventory available for sale has surged to an all-time high of ₹85,680 crore, a staggering 30% year-on-year increase from the ₹65,899 crore recorded in December 2024. This divergence, where the value of inventory is growing significantly faster than the unit count, confirms that Pune has successfully migrated toward higher-ticket, larger-format homes marking a transition in Pune’s residential market from volume-led growth to value-led outcomes driven by a more mature and affluent buyer profile.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">At the same time, the number of active projects fell sharply, underscoring ongoing market consolidation. Smaller projects and developers continue to exit, while supply is increasingly concentrated within large, capital-intensive developments.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Commenting on the findings, <b>Mr Rohit Gera, Managing Director, Gera Developments Private Limited</b>, said: “The Pune residential market at the end of 2025 is not weak, but it is no longer on autopilot. Prices have risen sharply, inventory value has expanded significantly, and supply has begun to edge ahead of absorption. These are not alarming signals in isolation, but together they suggest a market that is far more sensitive to missteps than it has been over the past two years."</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Interest rate cuts have helped sustain sales, but they cannot indefinitely offset rising ticket sizes. The key risk now is not a sudden downturn, but a gradual softening if supply discipline weakens or prices rise indiscriminately. The market does not need more supply; it needs better-timed supply and pricing discipline.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">For homebuyers, this is a market where execution capability, financial strength, and developer credibility matter more than ever. For developers, caution in phasing, configuration planning, and pricing will determine whether the market holds its balance or slowly tips into a softer phase.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Outlook:</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Pune’s residential market enters 2026 in a state of equilibrium under pressure. While macroeconomic indicators and infrastructure development remain supportive, the margin for error has narrowed.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The data suggests that the next phase of the cycle will be shaped less by demand shocks and more by developer behaviour. Markets with disciplined supply, realistic pricing, and rightsized products are likely to remain stable, while indiscriminate launches and pricing could gradually erode momentum.</span></p>

across MaharashtraPune,
January 13, 2026 : The champions of Lokmat MahaGames,
Maharashtra’s largest inter-school multi-sport competition, were felicitated at
a grand state-level award ceremony held at The Ritz-Carlton, Pune. Padma
Bhushan &amp; Olympian Saina Nehwal ji – Brand Ambassador, Lokmat MahaGames

excellence, discipline and sporting spirit among school children across the
state.

Organised
by Lokmat Campus Club and presented by the Abhay Bhutada Foundation, Lokmat
MahaGames is a flagship initiative under Lokmat’s Campus Club forum, aimed at
identifying and nurturing young sporting talent while instilling values of
teamwork, discipline and sportsmanship from an early age. The competition was
conducted across 12 regions of Maharashtra and culminated in a state-level championship.

ceremony witnessed the presence of Dr. Vijay Darda, Chairman, Lokmat Media
Group &amp; Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha (1998-2016); Ruchira Darda,
Director, Lokmat Campus Club &amp; Founder, Maha Games; and Trupti Abhay
Bhutada, Co – Founder, the Abhay Bhutada Foundation. RJ and sports anchor RJ
Mantra hosted the event and conducted an engaging fireside chat with the
dignitaries, adding to the excitement of the evening.

on the occasion, Dr. Vijay Darda, Chairman, Lokmat Media Group, said, “When
I look at these children, I see many future star players. Lokmat has always
supported sports and athletes, and through Lokmat MahaGames we have taken
another significant step forward. For true development of sports, it is
essential to keep it free from politics and focus purely on nurturing talent,
discipline and dedication.”

goals.”

<description><![CDATA[ Lucknow : In an era
where diversified business models are reshaping India&#039;s entrepreneurial
landscape, few visionaries demonstrate the breadth and depth of innovation seen
in the Oikoshreem Group. Spearheaded by Dr. Saubhagya Vardhan, this
multifaceted conglomerate has established itself as a formidable force across
real estate, renewable energy, healthcare, financial services, infrastructure,
and information technology sectors.​

The Architect Behind
the Vision

Dr. Saubhagya Vardhan&#039;s journey to becoming one
of India&#039;s youngest and most accomplished entrepreneurs is marked by global
exposure and strategic foresight. Having completed his higher education in the
United States and the United Kingdom, including credentials from prestigious
institutions like London Business School and the University of California,
Berkeley, Vardhan returned to India with a mission to revolutionize multiple
industries simultaneously.​

His professional
background spans roles with renowned organizations and diverse sectors,
equipping him with the expertise necessary to challenge conventional business
paradigms. This global perspective informs a leadership philosophy centered on
uplifting others and ensuring that impact outlives individual presence—an
approach that permeates all Oikoshreem Group ventures.​

A 360-Degree Business
Ecosystem

The Oikoshreem Group operates as a
comprehensive business conglomerate encompassing multiple divisions, each
addressing critical gaps in India&#039;s economy.​

Oikoshreem Infratech Private Limited
stands as the flagship entity, transforming infrastructure and real estate
through technology-driven solutions and diversified project execution.
Recognizing that India&#039;s real estate market is largely unorganized, with a
market size estimated in the tens of billions of dollars and a shortage of
professional, tech-enabled distributors, Infratech positions itself as a
comprehensive real estate and infrastructure solution provider using modern
systems and robust logistics at scale.​

Beyond residential and
commercial real estate, Oikoshreem Infratech has significantly expanded its
portfolio into critical government infrastructure projects. The company
actively undertakes highway construction, mining-related works, and large-scale
earthwork and compaction services, demonstrating its capability to execute
complex public sector and infrastructure development initiatives. This
diversification underscores the organization’s technical expertise and elevates
it from a real estate-focused company to a comprehensive infrastructure solutions
provider.

The company has brought
together thousands of channel partners, associates, and a large on-ground sales
and execution force, reflecting the scale at which it now operates across
multiple business verticals. These networks enable Oikoshreem to reach diverse
customer segments while maintaining operational depth in project delivery.​

Oikoshreem Realtors
Private Limited focuses on premium real estate development,
management, and advisory services. The division emphasizes quality control and client
service excellence, offering residential, commercial, industrial, and
hospitality real estate solutions aligned with evolving customer expectations
and urban growth patterns.​

Oikoshreem Solar
exemplifies the group&#039;s commitment to renewable energy and sustainability. As
an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) solution provider, it
contributes to India&#039;s national solar mission by deploying rooftop and
ground-mounted solar systems and related clean energy solutions, aligning the
group with the country&#039;s long-term green energy transition.​

Oikoshreem Healthcare
Private Limited extends the group&#039;s reach into medical
services and consulting, offering healthcare-oriented solutions designed to
improve accessibility and quality of care through structured, professional
services.​

Oikoshreem Infotech
Private Limited leverages the digital revolution through
application development, web development, digital marketing, bulk messaging,
and integrated IT solutions. This division serves as the technological backbone
of the group, supporting both internal innovation and external clients’ digital
transformation journeys.​

Oikoshreem Financial
Solutions Private Limited operates as a specialized financial services
arm, providing lending, financing, and related financial products, with an eye
on helping individuals and businesses access structured financial solutions in
a rapidly formalizing economy.​

Beyond commercial
ventures, Oikoshreem Trust underscores the group&#039;s social responsibility
mandate, addressing complex development challenges through community-centric
initiatives focused on empowerment, inclusion, and long-term societal
upliftment.​

Redefining Real Estate
and Infrastructure Across Multiple Sectors

significant contributions has been addressing Ind ]]></description>

Spearheaded by Dr. Saubhagya Vardhan, this multifaceted conglomerate has established itself as a formidable force across real estate, renewable energy, healthcare, financial services, infrastructure, and information technology sectors.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">The Architect Behind the Vision</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Dr. Saubhagya Vardhan's journey to becoming one of India's youngest and most accomplished entrepreneurs is marked by global exposure and strategic foresight. Having completed his higher education in the United States and the United Kingdom, including credentials from prestigious institutions like London Business School and the University of California, Berkeley, Vardhan returned to India with a mission to revolutionize multiple industries simultaneously.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">His professional background spans roles with renowned organizations and diverse sectors, equipping him with the expertise necessary to challenge conventional business paradigms. This global perspective informs a leadership philosophy centered on uplifting others and ensuring that impact outlives individual presence—an approach that permeates all Oikoshreem Group ventures.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">A 360-Degree Business Ecosystem</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The Oikoshreem Group operates as a comprehensive business conglomerate encompassing multiple divisions, each addressing critical gaps in India's economy.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Oikoshreem Infratech Private Limited</span></b><span lang="EN"> stands as the flagship entity, transforming infrastructure and real estate through technology-driven solutions and diversified project execution. Recognizing that India's real estate market is largely unorganized, with a market size estimated in the tens of billions of dollars and a shortage of professional, tech-enabled distributors, Infratech positions itself as a comprehensive real estate and infrastructure solution provider using modern systems and robust logistics at scale.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Beyond residential and commercial real estate, Oikoshreem Infratech has significantly expanded its portfolio into critical government infrastructure projects. The company actively undertakes highway construction, mining-related works, and large-scale earthwork and compaction services, demonstrating its capability to execute complex public sector and infrastructure development initiatives. This diversification underscores the organization’s technical expertise and elevates it from a real estate-focused company to a comprehensive infrastructure solutions provider.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The company has brought together thousands of channel partners, associates, and a large on-ground sales and execution force, reflecting the scale at which it now operates across multiple business verticals. These networks enable Oikoshreem to reach diverse customer segments while maintaining operational depth in project delivery.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Oikoshreem Realtors Private Limited</span></b><span lang="EN"> focuses on premium real estate development, management, and advisory services. The division emphasizes quality control and client service excellence, offering residential, commercial, industrial, and hospitality real estate solutions aligned with evolving customer expectations and urban growth patterns.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Oikoshreem Solar</span></b><span lang="EN"> exemplifies the group's commitment to renewable energy and sustainability. As an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) solution provider, it contributes to India's national solar mission by deploying rooftop and ground-mounted solar systems and related clean energy solutions, aligning the group with the country's long-term green energy transition.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Oikoshreem Healthcare Private Limited</span></b><span lang="EN"> extends the group's reach into medical services and consulting, offering healthcare-oriented solutions designed to improve accessibility and quality of care through structured, professional services.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Oikoshreem Infotech Private Limited</span></b><span lang="EN"> leverages the digital revolution through application development, web development, digital marketing, bulk messaging, and integrated IT solutions. This division serves as the technological backbone of the group, supporting both internal innovation and external clients’ digital transformation journeys.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Oikoshreem Financial Solutions Private Limited</span></b><span lang="EN"> operates as a specialized financial services arm, providing lending, financing, and related financial products, with an eye on helping individuals and businesses access structured financial solutions in a rapidly formalizing economy.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Beyond commercial ventures,<b> Oikoshreem Trust</b> underscores the group's social responsibility mandate, addressing complex development challenges through community-centric initiatives focused on empowerment, inclusion, and long-term societal upliftment.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Redefining Real Estate and Infrastructure Across Multiple Sectors</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">One of Vardhan's most significant contributions has been addressing India's affordable housing crisis while simultaneously building robust infrastructure capabilities. Independent assessments indicate that economically weaker sections and low-income groups account for a very large share of the country's total housing shortage, highlighting the need for innovative delivery mechanisms and inclusive products.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Oikoshreem Infratech’s response goes beyond conventional real estate models. The company offers tailor-made, cost-conscious housing and land solutions in emerging and tier-2 markets, recognizing that urban and semi-urban regions require localized strategies and thoughtful product design. By treating land and regulatory constraints as design challenges rather than barriers, the organization has enabled thousands of families from middle-income and economically weaker segments to move closer to home ownership and secure asset creation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The company’s expansion into government infrastructure projects—including highway construction, mining-linked works, and large-scale earthwork and compaction—further reflects its commitment to nation-building. These projects demand precision engineering, sophisticated project management, and adherence to stringent public-sector specifications, showcasing Oikoshreem Infratech’s capability to contribute directly to India’s infrastructure growth story.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Coal Mining: A High-Growth Opportunity for Oikoshreem</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">India’s coal mining sector has entered a phase of record expansion, creating a significant opportunity landscape for infrastructure-oriented players like the Oikoshreem Group. India’s coal production crossed the one billion tonne milestone in FY 2024–25, with cumulative output reaching around 1,047–1,065 million tonnes and registering annual growth of nearly 5 percent, while production from captive and commercial coal mines has grown at an even faster pace—above 25 percent in recent years.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Coal still contributes well over half of India’s total energy supply and powers more than 70 percent of electricity generation, even as renewable energy capacity accelerates. With policy reforms opening up commercial coal mining to the private sector and a strong pipeline of new blocks, there is rising demand for specialized partners in overburden removal, mine development, haul roads, and associated civil and earthwork activities. For Oikoshreem Infratech—already engaged in mining-related works and large earthwork compaction—this evolving coal ecosystem represents a natural growth avenue where its engineering capabilities, equipment ecosystem, and project management expertise can be leveraged to secure long-duration contracts, diversify revenue, and contribute directly to India’s energy security and Atmanirbhar Bharat objectives.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Inclusive Growth and Employment Generation</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The Oikoshreem Group’s approach to business goes beyond profit maximization, embracing an inclusive employment model that opens opportunities to a wide cross-section of society. Through its real estate, infrastructure, and services ecosystem, the group actively engages retired professionals, homemakers, and unemployed youth, recognizing that construction and real estate are among India’s largest employment generators and can be powerful vehicles for upward mobility.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In addition, the group emphasizes social initiatives such as women-focused benefits and customer protection measures. Campaigns that promote property ownership among women, coupled with value-added offerings like health insurance linked to product sales, reflect a deliberate commitment to equitable access and long-term customer well-being rather than transactional engagement alone.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Technology as a Differentiator</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Across its verticals, the Oikoshreem Group treats technology as a strategic asset rather than a cost center. Digital platforms, analytics, and automation are integrated into sales, customer engagement, project monitoring, and service delivery, enabling the group to provide more transparent, efficient, and scalable solutions to clients across income segments. This philosophy spans its real estate consulting, digital marketing, IT services, renewable energy monitoring, and infrastructure project management systems.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">By embedding technology into both front-end and back-end operations, the group enhances customer experience, improves operational control, and positions itself competitively in markets that are rapidly formalizing and digitizing. This tech-forward approach also allows Oikoshreem to adapt quickly to shifts in consumer behavior and regulatory frameworks.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Navigating Market Evolution</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The group’s diversified portfolio reflects a deep understanding of macro trends shaping India’s growth story. In real estate, shifts in work patterns, post-pandemic preferences for owned and larger homes, and rising aspirations in tier-2 and tier-3 cities are redefining demand, and Oikoshreem’s presence across land aggregation, distribution, and development provides resilience in this evolving environment.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Simultaneously, India’s infrastructure push, renewable energy targets, and financial inclusion agenda open multiple growth corridors. The group’s combined capabilities in infrastructure execution, solar EPC, IT services, and financial solutions ensure that it is well positioned to participate in this next phase of India’s transformation, from roads and mining sites to rooftops and digital platforms.​</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">The Broader Impact</span></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">What distinguishes the Oikoshreem Group under Saubhagya Vardhan’s leadership is the seamless integration of commercial success with social purpose. The organization demonstrates that sustainable business models can generate shareholder returns while advancing community development, employment, and access to essential services.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">As India continues its economic expansion and rapid urbanization, enterprises like Oikoshreem—combining global best practices with local insights, technology with human capital, and growth with responsibility—are poised to become defining examples of 21st-century Indian entrepreneurship. Dr. Saubhagya Vardhan’s journey from studying global markets to building a diversified conglomerate that addresses challenges from affordable housing and infrastructure to clean energy and financial access showcases the potential of a new generation of Indian business leaders. In doing so, the Oikoshreem Group contributes not only to enterprise value, but also to the foundational infrastructure and services required for inclusive, sustainable national development.</span></p>

<title>The Shift Towards Transparency as Investors Choose a Zero Brokerage Trading Account</title>

<description><![CDATA[ In India,
the stock market has provided opportunities for investors to grow their wealth,
but for many years, investors had to deal with confusing fees and hidden
charges when buying or selling stocks. The traditional brokerage models have
relied mainly on these charges, often making trading complex and expensive.
These days, a new trend of zero brokerage charges has made the trading
experience not only simple but also budget-friendly. This article explains how
zero brokerage trading accounts are gaining traction among investors. Why the
Number Zero Brokerage Accounts is RisingA zero brokerage trading account is designed specifically to eliminate the commission fees for equity
delivery trading. This helps investors to buy and hold stocks without paying
any extra amount to the broker. This method has become beneficial to small
investors, first-time traders, and millennials who are cost-conscious and
digitally savvy.In India,
there are many platforms that support zero brokerage charges. These platforms
have combined zero brokerage with simple, mobile-friendly interfaces. They have
made investing more accessible and less complicated. Investors can now easily
open their accounts digitally, view clear pricing, and place trades without
worrying about hidden fees on their returns.The Role of
Transparency in Investor Decision-MakingThe
main reason why investors are choosing zero brokerage accounts is transparency.
Previously, most investors were always confused about the precise cost of their
transactions, where the brokerage fees, statutory charges and taxes were all
included in a package in a manner that was not easy to understand. Platforms
now are focusing on transparent cost breakdowns, displaying precisely the fees
charged and how much of the investment is actually being invested in the
market.This
clarity encourages more informed decision-making. Investors can compare
brokers, plan trades strategically, and avoid overpaying. Transparent costs
also reduce the likelihood of impulsive trading since investors know the
precise financial impact of every transaction.Pressure on
Traditional BrokersThere
are many full-service brokers who have traditionally depended on brokerage fees
as a major revenue source. The rise of zero brokerage accounts has disrupted
this model, compelling these institutions to reevaluate their pricing and
services. Many have responded by offering hybrid models, where basic trades are
low-cost or free, while advanced services, such as personalised advisory,
research reports, or wealth management, are available for a fee. This allows
them to retain clients while remaining competitive in a market increasingly
dominated by discount brokers.Sustainability
Challenges for Zero BrokerageInvestors
benefit from having no broker fees, but for brokers, maintaining these types of
business models is often a struggle. Brokers typically earn their income
through other means like selling derivatives, intraday charges, providing
margin financing, or selling research subscription services. There are
many reasons why profit margins can be affected. Changes in government
regulations, changes in the economy (market) and/or large reductions in volume
(the total number of shares that are traded on each day) can all affect
profitability. Despite
these challenges, brokers are exploring ways to balance affordable trading with
business sustainability, such as by offering different service levels or
integrating wealth management products.Benefits
for Investors and Market ParticipationThe
move to zero brokerage and transparent prices has expanded the reach of the
market. The smaller town investors, youngsters, and first-time traders are now
able to engage in equity markets without the fear of high charges. This shift
has led to a rise in the number of people choosing to open
Demat account, resulting
in stronger overall retail participation.In
addition, transparency promotes improved investment practices. Investors know
the true value of what they are paying and make investments based on what they
are actually investing in instead of the costs that remain hidden. This assists
in building a culture of long-term and disciplined investing as opposed to speculative
investing.The Future
of Transparent InvestingZero
brokerage trading accounts are not a niche offering anymore because they are
establishing a new benchmark on cost transparency in financial markets.
Investors have become very demanding in terms of clarity in pricing, low costs,
and easy-to-access platforms, and it is upon the brokers to fulfil the demands
to stay at par with the times. The industry is also progressing to a stage
where transparency and efficiency are considered as significant as execution
and advice. The brokers who adapt to this change and provide quality and
affordable services will be in a position to develop, and those models relying
on commissions or high fees may get left  ]]></description>

<title>The Biggest Gap in Stock Market Education: How StockSprint Is Bridging Capital, Discipline, and Real&amp;Market Exposure</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-biggest-gap-in-stock-market-education-how-stocksprint-is-bridging-capital-discipline-and-real-market-exposure</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-biggest-gap-in-stock-market-education-how-stocksprint-is-bridging-capital-discipline-and-real-market-exposure</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

India’s stock market
education landscape is crowded with courses, content creators, and
quick-learning promises. Yet, despite unprecedented access to information, a
majority of aspiring traders fail to sustain themselves in live markets.

The reason is not intelligence
or effort.
The reason is a fundamental gap in how trading is taught.

Most institutes teach what
to trade. Very few teach how to become a trader.

This is the gap StockSprint was built to address.

Why Traditional Trading Education Falls Short

For years, stock market
education has followed a familiar pattern:

●       
Charts on screens

●       
Strategies on slides

●       
Certifications at the end

But markets do not
reward certificates. They reward discipline, risk control, and
decision-making under pressure.

Three critical gaps
continue to hold traders back:


 Capital without preparation
     – Beginners deploy personal savings too early, without understanding
     drawdowns or risk exposure.
 Discipline without structure
     – Emotional mistakes dominate because no one is watching, correcting, or
     guiding in real time.
 Theory without live exposure – Learners understand concepts but freeze when markets move
     unpredictably.


StockSprint
was designed by active market participants who have seen these failures repeat
themselves—year after year.

StockSprint’s Approach: From Classroom to Capital

Positioned as Jaipur’s
premium share market institute, StockSprint follows a mentorship-first,
execution-driven model.

Instead of pushing
learners into markets blindly, the institute focuses on:

●       
Structured technical and fundamental education

●       
Live market mentorship

●       
Risk management frameworks

●       
Capital-readiness training

But what truly
differentiates StockSprint is its Trader
Incubation &amp; Funded Trader Program.

The Incubation Model: Learning Before Earning

One of the biggest
barriers for talented traders is capital. Many have skill but lack the
confidence—or financial safety—to trade independently.

StockSprint’s incubation framework
addresses this directly.

Selected learners,
after completing structured training and evaluation phases, are guided toward trading
with allocated capital under supervision. This allows traders to:

●       
Experience real-market pressure without
risking personal savings

●       
Build discipline in a controlled environment

●       
Prove consistency before scaling

This model shifts the
mindset from “how much can I make?” to “how well can I execute?”—a
crucial psychological transition most traders never make.

A Physical Trading Floor Built on Trust

In an age dominated by
online courses, StockSprint has taken a deliberate, contrarian path: offline
credibility.

The institute’s
physical trading floor in Jaipur acts as a trust anchor—where learners:

●       
Observe live decision-making

●       
Interact with mentors during market hours

●       
Learn how professionals respond to volatility

This environment
transforms trading from an isolated activity into a guided professional

<title>Why Cost Transparency is Becoming Central with Zero Brokerage Accounts</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/why-cost-transparency-is-becoming-central-with-zero-brokerage-accounts</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/why-cost-transparency-is-becoming-central-with-zero-brokerage-accounts</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ With the
rise of zero brokerage trading accounts, cost transparency has become one of
the most important factors for investors and traders. Zero brokerage accounts
can significantly reduce traditional commission charges, which is helpful for
many new users, especially beginners and frequent traders. 

However,
“zero brokerage” doesn’t always mean zero cost. Brokers may still charge
regulatory and statutory fees such as Securities Transaction Tax (STT), GST,
stamp duty, exchange fees, and account maintenance charges (AMC). Because these
costs still apply to every trade, transparency about all charges is critical
for traders to understand their real expenses. 

This shift
has forced brokers to be clearer about what they charge and how costs are
structured, moving away from unclear pricing to full disclosure of all fees
upfront. 

What Zero
Brokerage Trading Accounts Really Mean

A
zero brokerage trading account typically refers to a trading account in which
the broker does not charge a commission or brokerage fee on certain types of
trades—most commonly on equity delivery transactions.

This
model is especially beneficial for:

●     
Frequent
traders: It reduces per‑trade costs and
improves net returns.

●     
Beginners: It lowers the barrier to entry and makes it easier to
learn trading.

●     
Intraday
traders: Since small price movements
generate profits in intraday trading, zero brokerage can significantly enhance
potential profits.

The
Importance of Full Cost Disclosure

As
zero brokerage models became popular, regulators and industry players
recognised that clarity regarding all costs involved is essential, not just the
brokerage fees. A key development in India was SEBI’s push for brokers to be
“true to label” about their charge structures, ensuring that traders know
exactly what they pay without hidden charges. 

This means
brokers must disclose:

●     
Regulatory
charges

●     
Exchange
fees

●     
Taxes
like GST and STT

●     
AMC
and miscellaneous fees

Rather than
simply advertising “zero brokerage,” which can be misleading if other costs are
not clear. 

Benefits of
Cost Transparency in Zero Brokerage Accounts

Cost
transparency in zero brokerage provides the following benefits:

1.
Better Profit Estimation
Traders can more accurately calculate their expected profits and losses when
all costs are visible upfront. This helps with planning entry and exit
strategies. 

2.
Increased Participation
Clear pricing encourages more people, especially small and beginner investors,
to open Demat account and start trading, knowing there are no hidden charges. 

3.
Encourages Healthy Competition
With fees openly listed, brokers compete on overall service value and technology
rather than confusing pricing tactics. This often results in improved trading
platforms and research tools for users. 

Common
Issues Despite Zero Brokerage Claims

Even
with zero brokerage, some costs remain:

●     
Statutory/regulatory
fees (STT, GST, exchange turnover charges) apply regardless of brokerage
policies. These are not controlled by the broker but by regulators and
exchanges.

●     
AMC
and account or data charges may still exist depending on the broker.

●     
Margin
interest and other service fees can apply for leveraged or margin trades. 

Industry
observers and traders also note that some zero brokerage trading account platforms may compromise on aspects like price feed accuracy or
execution speed, which can affect overall trading costs in practice.

Market and
regulatory trends pushing transparency

The
rise of zero brokerage trading accounts has made cost transparency a major
concern for modern traders. While zero brokerage eliminates commission fees on
certain trades, it does not eliminate all trading costs. The SEBI “true to
label” directive has impacted the brokerage landscape by forcing clearer cost
disclosures and aligning listed fees with actual charges levied by exchanges
and regulators. 

Brokers
must no longer rely on volume‑based rebates or opaque fee slabs, which
previously made it hard for traders to estimate total costs. These changes aim
to bring fairness and clarity to the stockbroking industry, especially for zero
brokerage offerings that attract traders with claims of minimal costs. With
better guidelines and proper implementation, market participation can increase
as individuals are not restricted by cost barriers.

Conclusion

Regulators,
brokers, and trading platforms alike now recognise that clear disclosure of all
charges is essential to help investors make sound decisions. With transparent
fee structures, traders can accurately estimate net returns, avoid unexpected
costs, and participate in markets with greater clarity, whether they are
beginners or active intraday traders. Reliable platforms like BlinkX offer a
zero brokerage trading ac ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Industry observers and traders also note that some </span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://blinkx.in/zero-brokerage-trading-account"><span>zero brokerage trading account</span></a></span><span lang="EN"> platforms may compromise on aspects like price feed accuracy or execution speed, which can affect overall trading costs in practice.</span></p>

<p></p>
<h2><span lang="EN">Market and regulatory trends pushing transparency</span></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The rise of zero brokerage trading accounts has made cost transparency a major concern for modern traders. While zero brokerage eliminates commission fees on certain trades, it does not eliminate all trading costs. The SEBI “true to label” directive has impacted the brokerage landscape by forcing clearer cost disclosures and aligning listed fees with actual charges levied by exchanges and regulators. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Brokers must no longer rely on volume‑based rebates or opaque fee slabs, which previously made it hard for traders to estimate total costs. These changes aim to bring fairness and clarity to the stockbroking industry, especially for zero brokerage offerings that attract traders with claims of minimal costs. With better guidelines and proper implementation, market participation can increase as individuals are not restricted by cost barriers.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><span lang="EN">Conclusion</span></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Regulators, brokers, and trading platforms alike now recognise that clear disclosure of all charges is essential to help investors make sound decisions. With transparent fee structures, traders can accurately estimate net returns, avoid unexpected costs, and participate in markets with greater clarity, whether they are beginners or active intraday traders. Reliable platforms like BlinkX offer a zero brokerage trading account with easy Demat integration and clear fees.  Zero brokerage accounts, backed by complete cost clarity, have reshaped the brokerage industry and improved the trading experience for several investors across India. </span></p>

INDIA I 12 January 2026 : 
National Youth Day, observed every year on 12 January, marks the birth
anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, one of India’s greatest thinkers and youth
icons. It was first celebrated in 1985, when the Government of India chose his
birthday to inspire young Indians with his ideals of courage, discipline,
self-belief, and nation-building.

The
day highlights the role of youth as drivers of social change, innovation, and
leadership. Through events, discussions, and campaigns, National Youth Day
continues to motivate India’s young population to think purposefully, act
responsibly, and contribute meaningfully to the country’s progress—making it as
relevant today as ever.

“On
National Youth Day, I speak to a generation that is not just the future of
India, but its most powerful present. India is uniquely positioned today, with
nearly 65% of its population below the age of 35—a demographic advantage that
very few nations in history have enjoyed. What makes this moment even more
extraordinary is that this youthful energy is not standing alone. It is being
guided by nearly 35% of experienced professionals who bring wisdom, resilience,
and institutional memory. Together, this combination is transforming Indian
businesses and redefining our role in the global economy”, Gurcharan Matharu,
Director – Gurunanak Nanak Engineering Group of Companies (GEC), 

The
narrative is often framed as a shift from traditional business to artificial
intelligence. “I believe that is an incomplete story. The real strength of
India lies in how our legacy industries, processes, and values have become the
foundation on which AI-driven enterprises are being built. The youth are not
discarding tradition; they are decoding it, digitising it, and scaling it for a
global stage” adds Gurcharan Matharu.

Across
manufacturing, engineering, infrastructure, and technology, young professionals
are blending hands-on experience with data, automation, and intelligent
systems. This synergy is driving efficiency, sustainability, and innovation,
making Indian enterprises globally competitive and future-ready.

Gurcharan
Matharu says, “To the youth of India: embrace technology, but stay rooted in
purpose. Learn fast, question deeply, and build responsibly. Your role is not
just to adopt AI, but to humanise it with ethics, inclusivity, and long-term
vision.”

India’s
growth story is being written by your ambition—guided by experience—and the
world is watching.

Guru
Nanak Engineering Group of Companies (GEC) was established in 1952 with the aim
of providing high quality mechanical engineering services to its varied
clientele. Over the years, it has grown into a leading engineering solution
providing company for manufacturing sector covering Metals &amp; Mining, Oil

<title>Put&amp;Call Ratio Gains Importance as Derivatives Participation Grows</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/put-call-ratio-gains-importance-as-derivatives-participation-grows</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/put-call-ratio-gains-importance-as-derivatives-participation-grows</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Over the
past few years, faster growth in derivatives trading has brought a big change
in how investors look into market sentiment. As more retail and institutional
investors engage in options trading, traditional indicators are being reviewed
for how useful they still are. One indicator that now stands out is the
put-call ratio (PCR), which has become very important as derivatives
participation keeps growing.

Nowadays,
as more people use options to trade and manage risk, the put-call ratio helps
investors understand overall market mood and positioning in a clear and simple
way.

Understanding
the Put-Call Ratio

The
put-call ratio is a reliable and widely used indicator in the options market.
It compares the number of put options with call options to show whether traders
expect prices to rise or fall.

Basically,
the put-call ratio live is calculated as:

Put-Call Ratio = Total Put Options ÷ Total Call Options

●     
When
the PCR is below 1, more call options are used, which usually points to
positive or bullish sentiment.

●     
When
the PCR is above 1, more put options are used, which suggests caution, downside
protection, or negative expectations.

PCR can be
calculated using trading volume or open interest. In most cases, open-interest-based
PCR is preferred because it gives a more complete view of ongoing positions
rather than short-term activity.

Rising
Derivatives Participation Changes Market Signals

Lately,
derivatives participation has grown sharply, especially in index and stock
options. This change is driven by several clear factors:

●     
Easy
access to online trading platforms

●     
Lower
brokerage and transaction costs

●     
Improved
liquidity

●     
Higher
awareness among retail investors

As more
people use derivatives, indicators based on options data, such as PCR, become
stronger and more reliable. With wider participation, PCR reflects market
sentiment more accurately and is less affected by isolated trades.  This makes a real difference in how traders
read market signals and can also help identify opportunities in intraday stocks.

How to Use
Put-Call Ratio Signals Correctly

While
PCR is useful, it should always be used with context.

●     
A
PCR between 0.7 and 1.0 is usually seen as neutral

●     
Very
low PCR levels may show too much optimism

●     
Very
high PCR levels may suggest too much fear

Extreme PCR
readings are often used as contrarian signals. For example, a very high PCR may
mean most traders are already protected, which can limit further downside and
lead to a bounce. By contrast, a very low PCR may reflect overconfidence,
increasing the risk of correction.

Keep
in mind, PCR works best when used along with price trends, volume, volatility,
and broader market signals.

Using PCR
for Index and Stock Analysis

The
put-call ratio is widely used in index trading, especially for indexes like
Nifty and Bank Nifty, where options trading is very active. Index-level PCR
helps traders understand overall market sentiment and short-term direction.

Stock-specific
PCR is also becoming more common as single-stock options grow.

●     
A
rising stock PCR often shows downside protection or negative expectations

●     
A
falling stock PCR usually signals positive positioning

When
combined with price movement and open interest, stock-level PCR works well in
different situations and can help spot trend continuation or possible
reversals.

Limitations
of the Put-Call Ratio

PCR
also has some limits that investors should keep in mind.

●     
It
does not clearly separate hedging from speculation

●     
Options
used for income strategies can affect readings

●     
Short-term
events like expiry days or major announcements can cause temporary changes

Because
of this, it is better to look into PCR trends over time rather than reacting to
one-day movements.

Why the
Put-Call Ratio is More Important Today

Today’s
markets are more volatile, with prices changing quickly. Because of this,
investors need indicators that help them read sentiment faster. The put-call
ratio offers this help in an effective and easy-to-use way.

One strong
reason PCR has gained importance is its ability to show hedging behaviour. In
many cases, investors buy put options not because they expect a fall, but to
protect their portfolios. So, a rising PCR does not always mean negative
sentiment. At the same time, it often shows increased caution.

Also,
higher institutional participation has improved the quality of options data.
This makes PCR a balanced indicator that covers both trading and
risk-management activity across the industry.

Conclusion

As
derivatives participation continues to grow, the put-call ratio has become a
strong and reliable tool for reading market sentiment. It helps investors
understand positioning, risk levels, an ]]></description>

<h2><span lang="EN">Using PCR for Index and Stock Analysis</span></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The put-call ratio is widely used in index trading, especially for indexes like Nifty and Bank Nifty, where options trading is very active. Index-level PCR helps traders understand overall market sentiment and short-term direction.</span></p>

<p></p>
<h2><span lang="EN">Why the Put-Call Ratio is More Important Today</span></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Today’s markets are more volatile, with prices changing quickly. Because of this, investors need indicators that help them read sentiment faster. The put-call ratio offers this help in an effective and easy-to-use way.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">One strong reason PCR has gained importance is its ability to show hedging behaviour. In many cases, investors buy put options not because they expect a fall, but to protect their portfolios. So, a rising PCR does not always mean negative sentiment. At the same time, it often shows increased caution.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Also, higher institutional participation has improved the quality of options data. This makes PCR a balanced indicator that covers both trading and risk-management activity across the industry.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<h2><span lang="EN">Conclusion</span></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">As derivatives participation continues to grow, the put-call ratio has become a strong and reliable tool for reading market sentiment. It helps investors understand positioning, risk levels, and trader behaviour. PCR delivers better results when used with other indicators. When combined with price action, volume, open interest, and volatility, it offers a complete view of market behaviour. In a fast-changing, derivatives-driven market, understanding the put-call ratio can help investors. By using reliable trading apps like BlinkX, investors can access detailed market data, stay updated on options activity, and make informed trading decisions smoothly and reliably.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[  New Delhi [India], January 9: Large volumes of complex data in research and development labs offer vast potential for scientists in India. Yet the race to finish first by extracting insight is often slowed down by manual data analysis. Indian labs are now turning to AI-enriched solutions, which help streamline research workflows and significantly accelerate established development processes.As investment in research and development (R&amp;D) across many sectors grows, India has emerged as a global powerhouse. For example, according to the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology, the country has experienced a 2.5x growth in scientific publication output over 10 years, a rate that shows no signs of slowing down.The growth in the number of publications is driven by increased research activity, which in turn is generating a significant boost in the volume and complexity of data. In addition, as global research advances, the range of data that laboratories must handle continues to expand - from structures to composition for small molecules and the newest large-molecule modalities. At the same time, open-science principles encourage researchers worldwide to share and collaborate, adding to the range and complexity of the data landscape.Even as the flood of data continues to increase, many labs continue to rely on manual work to unite and analyze data across isolated spreadsheets, databases, and notebooks. For such teams, the insights that help to drive the “decide” step of the “design-make-test-decide” research cycle are significantly delayed as they wait for data to become available.While manual information processes can produce rich, holistic research insights, the pace of today’s work environment means that electronic tools are essential. Over the years, R&amp;D labs have introduced a variety of systems designed to speed up data analysis, but often these are highly specialized solutions that operate in departmental silos. In addition, a tool tailored to structured data will not work for unstructured data, limiting capacity and capability.As a further complication, although science aims to be an objective discipline, it is natural that researchers view their work through a subjective lens. Hypothesis generation and data interpretation will always be limited by innate human biases. Researchers may subconsciously favor data that confirms their pre-existing beliefs and hypotheses, particularly if counterevidence is difficult to obtain.Working in isolated, fragmented data silos may tend tointroduce human bias and error, as restricted access can become a self-limiting factor, as moving back and forth between databases and paperwork is a slow and labor-intensive process. In some cases, data analysis becomes the most time-consuming step in a research project, taking away from precious time that could be spent on testing and discovery.Introducing a Comprehensive, AI-Powered R&amp;D SolutionRevvity Signals transforms how scientists approach R&amp;D by eliminating bottlenecks through AI-powered data interpretation and decision-making.

<p dir="ltr"><span>Boosting Mission-Critical Investment</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>According to the UN, India ranks 10th in the world for private investment in AI, securing US$ 1.4 billion in 2023. Realizing the potential rewards on offer from AI, the government is stepping up its interest, as the Finance Minister announced at the beginning of 2025 funding for Centers of Excellence forAI in education. Together, India’s private and public sectors can democratize access to AI-powered solutions, enabling the broader scientific community to make the most of cutting-edge analytics.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>AI-enhanced analytics present an opportunity for Indian R&amp;D labs to shoot ahead of typical modernization and digitalization initiatives. Many global competitors continue to struggle with their digital journeys, as they move from manual processes through spreadsheets and legacy software; Indian labs have the opportunity to entirely reinvent what R&amp;D processes look like, by vaulting straight from manual processes to the new AI-driven world. With AI-supported solutions empowering more wet-lab scientists to make sense of data without relying on analysts, researchers could further streamline operations and boost collaboration.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Leveraging AI to Stay Ahead of the Competition</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>With investment in AI solutions on the rise, R&amp;D labs in India can boost efficiency, enhance quality and accelerate development cycles like never before. While human expertise will always remain central to R&amp;D, AI and LLMs can provide rapid suggestions and correlations to amplify insight. In the rapidly changing global research environment, selecting the right technology to support decision-making is crucial.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>By adopting platforms such as </span><a href="https://revvitysignals.com/"><span>Signals</span></a><span> One, researchers in India can accelerate the “design-make-test-decide” cycle, leaving behind the days of copying and pasting information across data silos and spending hours looking for hidden patterns in the data. Rich, intuitively-presented datacorrelations can be at scientists’ fingertips—all while keeping IP safe within the secure Revvity Signals environment.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>By integrating experimentation in the lab with AI-augmented predictive modeling, researchers can reduce repetitive lab work, quickly extract insights from vast datasets, and spend more time doing what matters most: collaborating and engaging in critical thinking to solve the world’s most pressing challenges.</span></p>]]> </content:encoded>

<description><![CDATA[ Talented
singer Poonam Jha’s latest dance party anthem “Maza Le Le” has been officially
released under the banner of Kamakhya Beats and is receiving an encouraging
response from audiences. A special screening of the song was held at PVR ICON,
Andheri, Mumbai, which was attended by the entire team of the song along with
several industry guests.

The
event was graced by Bollywood’s renowned choreographer Ganesh Acharya and
actress Pooja Chopra, who appreciated the song and congratulated the team.
Actor Rahul Roy, the hero of the iconic film Aashiqui, along with his sister
Hari Maa Priyanka, extended their heartfelt congratulations to Manoj Jha and
Poonam Jha.

“Maza
Le Le” is sung by Poonam Jha and Dev Negi, while the music video has been
directed by Abhishek Sharma. The choreography is by Vishnu Deva, and the
cinematography has been handled by Dudley, best known as the cinematographer of
the blockbuster film Chennai Express.



It
is worth noting that several of Poonam Jha’s earlier songs have already crossed
millions of views across digital platforms, earning her growing popularity
among music lovers. Her party track “Nashe Mein High,” released under Zee Music
Company and launched by actress Pooja Batra, received strong audience
appreciation and impressive viewership.

In
the new song “Maza Le Le,” Poonam Jha, Anaira Gupta, and Eshan Shanker are seen
in lead roles. The song is presented by Kamakhya Beats, composed by Pawan
Muradpuri, with lyrics penned by S. R. Bharti. The official jewellery partner
for the video is Kamakhya Jewels Limited, adding elegance and glamour to the
visuals.

Speaking
at the event, Ganesh Acharya said,

“I
thank everyone for inviting me here. My congratulations and best wishes to the
entire ‘Maza Le Le’ team including Poonam Jha, Anaira Gupta, and Eshan Shanker.
Vishnu Deva has done excellent choreography. Poonam has sung and performed
beautifully. I also congratulate Manoj Jha for launching Kamakhya Beats with
such a thoughtful vision and wish him all the best.”

Pooja
Chopra congratulated Poonam Jha on the song and appreciated Kamakhya Beats for
creating a platform that will support and promote new talent.

Sharing
his thoughts, Manoj Jha said,

“Although
we are in the jewellery business, my wife Poonam has always been deeply
passionate about singing. Due to responsibilities, she could not showcase her
talent earlier. Now she is finally expressing her true potential. On
choreographer Vishnu Deva’s encouragement, I launched Kamakhya Beats as a
platform especially for talented women. From now on, songs will be released
every month, and new talent will also be given opportunities.”

Singer
Poonam Jha expressed her happiness, saying,

“Singing
has always been my passion. ‘Maza Le Le’ is my third song, and watching it on
the big screen is a completely different experience. I am extremely happy and
excited. I sincerely thank my husband Manoj Jha for supporting me, encouraging
my dreams, and laying the foundation of Kamakhya Beats. I am grateful to Ganesh
Acharya and Pooja Chopra for being present at the launch. I also thank Dudley
sir for shooting the song like a full-fledged film track, and Vishnu Deva for
making me dance.”

During
the event, Manoj Jha and Poonam Jha honoured all the guests and technical team
members with bouquets and shawls. With its energetic beats and vibrant visuals,
“Maza Le Le” promises to be a crowd-pleasing party number that will get
everyone onto the dance floor. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Celebrating a 14-year legacy of technological innovation, Markup Designs was recently honoured at the ET Leadership Excellence Awards
2025. The ceremony was held in Dehradun, where CEO Jupinder Singh Arora received the prestigious
Pioneer Leadership Excellence Award (IT Services and Solution). Mr. Ganesh
Joshi, Hon&#039;ble Cabinet Minister (Bio Technology, Agriculture &amp; Rural
Development), presented this award. This recognition underscores the company’s
pivotal role in driving digital transformation across the industry.

This milestone is not just an individual triumph but a
celebration of collective leadership. Sukhwinder Singh Arora, Managing Director
of Markup Designs, was also present at the ceremony to mark this significant
occasion. His presence highlighted the strong partnership and shared vision
that have driven the company’s strategic leap into the future. Together, the
leadership has fostered a culture of excellence in turning strategy into trust
and delivering robust IT solutions.

Mr. Jupinder Singh Arora’s path to leadership, along with his
brother, Sukhwinder Singh Arora, is inspirational to all of us. Jupinder Singh
Arora was born and raised in the spiritually rich city of Amritsar (Punjab),
where he grew up with values of compassion and curiosity deeply ingrained in
his upbringing. Moving to Delhi, he explored new horizons but faced early
challenges and rejections. He laid down the groundwork for his services in 2012
and formally established the company in 2013. Further, they expanded from local
beginnings to serving international clients by 2016, driven by a philosophy
that views business as a platform to create employment and serve the greater
good.

Markup Designs has established itself as a premier provider of
end-to-end IT Solutions with a global footprint. Primarily operating from
Noida, the company has expanded its strategic presence to international
markets, including the US, UAE, UK, and Canada. With over a decade of
experience, the focus remains on delivering measurable business growth by
combining deep industry insights with this expansive reach. This approach
enables the creation of intelligent ecosystems, rather than just software,
empowering businesses to think faster and operate smarter in the new digital
era.

A significant part of the company’s core expertise lies in
Mobile App Development, delivering high-performance, user-centric applications
for iOS, Android, and cross-platform ecosystems designed to drive engagement
and scalability. These capabilities are seamlessly supported by end-to-end IT
services, including digital transformation initiatives, tailored software
development, and strategic IT outsourcing, enabling businesses to streamline
operations, accelerate growth, and achieve long-term digital success.

By bridging the gap between technical expertise and strategic
execution, value-driven results help clients move towards the digital
landscape. This commitment to future-ready innovation is now set to evolve with
the upcoming launch of MARK AI. Distinct from general digital services, this
new wing is dedicated exclusively to Artificial Intelligence, designing
advanced AI capabilities that help enterprises with next-generation
intelligence.

Reflecting on the award and the future of the industry, Mr.
Jupinder Singh Arora delivered a compelling statement on the evolving role of
technology: &quot;This recognition by The Economic Times is far more than a
corporate accolade; it is a powerful testament to the relentless dedication of
our entire team. We have always viewed technology as the ultimate amplifier of
human potential. As we look ahead, we are enhancing our commitment to
delivering smarter, future-ready innovations that drive global business
transformation for our clients.”

<title>The Global Family Office Model: Soumik Bandyopadhyay Lessons for Emerging Economies</title>

<description><![CDATA[  New Delhi [India], January 8: As private wealth grows across emerging economies, families are facing questions that extend well beyond investment performance. How should wealth be organised once it outlives the founder? How can families prevent personal dynamics from spilling into business decisions? And how can wealth remain relevant for generations that have grown up in very different environments?These questions sit at the centre of Soumik Bandyopadhyay’s work with business families across India and overseas. Drawing on decades of experience in finance, governance, and family enterprise, he views the global family office model as a practical response to complexity rather than a symbol of sophistication. In mature economies, family offices have evolved into institutions designed to provide continuity, structure, and long-term clarity. For emerging economies, they offer lessons that are increasingly difficult to ignore.The Family Office as a Continuity MechanismIn developed markets, family offices are built with continuity as their primary objective. They are not designed around short-term gains or annual benchmarks, but around ensuring that wealth, responsibility, and decision-making move smoothly across generations.This approach contrasts with how wealth is often managed in emerging economies, where rapid entrepreneurial success can lead to wealth accumulation without parallel institutional development. Soumik Bandyopadhyay often highlights that continuity does not happen automatically with size of wealth. It requires deliberate structures that separate family wealth from operating businesses and protect it from both market volatility and internal strain.Professionalisation Over ConvenienceA defining feature of global family offices is professionalisation. In many mature systems, family offices are staffed by professionals whose sole responsibility is managing wealth, risk, and governance. These roles are kept distinct from operating business leadership.In emerging economies, family offices are frequently treated as extensions of the core business, with senior executives or trusted insiders managing wealth alongside other responsibilities. While this may seem operationally expedient, it creates conflicting incentives. Business leaders are rewarded for growth and risk-taking, while family offices must prioritise preservation and stability. The global model shows why separating these functions leads to clearer judgement and fewer long-term complications.Governance as a Practical ToolGovernance within global family offices is not about rigidity or control. It is about clarity. Documented frameworks define how decisions are made, who participates, and how disagreements are resolved. This reduces dependence on individual authority and allows institutions to function even when leadership changes.In emerging economies, governance often remains informal and personality-driven. Soumik Bandyopadhyay observes that this approach works only up to a point. As families grow and wealth becomes more diversified, informality can create uncertainty. Formal governance, introduced thoughtfully, helps families navigate complexity without turning every decision into a personal negotiation.Structured Communication, Not Emotional EscalationGlobal family offices treat communication as a process rather than an afterthought. Regular family gatherings and meetings, transparent reporting, and defined forums ensure that family members remain informed and aligned. Sensitive issues such as succession, risk exposure, and asset allocation are addressed early rather than during moments of crisis.In many emerging economies, communication within families is informal and emotionally driven. While closeness is a strength, the absence of structure can lead to misgivings and misalignments. The global model demonstrates that structure does not weaken relationships. Instead, it creates space for difficult conversations to happen calmly and constructively.A Broader Understanding of RiskRisk, in the global family office context, is viewed far more broadly than market fluctuations. It includes concentration risk, governance failures, reputational exposure, and family-related disruptions. This wider perspective recognises that wealth can be undermined as easily by internal breakdown as by external shocks.Emerging economies often celebrate risk-taking, particularly among first-generation entrepreneurs. While this mindset drives growth, it can leave family wealth exposed once control begins to shift. Soumik Bandyopadhyay emphasises that defining risk tolerance clearly is essential. Ambition need not be abandoned, but it must be supported by safeguards that reflect long-term priorities.Adapting Global Models to Local ContextsOne of the most common mistakes among high-net-worth families in emerging economies is attempting to replicate Western family office structures without adaptation.

Ambition need not be abandoned, but it must be supported by safeguards that reflect long-term priorities.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>Adapting Global Models to Local Contexts</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>One of the most common mistakes among high-net-worth families in emerging economies is attempting to replicate Western family office structures without adaptation. Legal systems, cultural norms, and family dynamics vary widely, and direct imitation often leads to misalignment.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The global family office model works best when treated as a set of principles rather than a fixed blueprint. Independence, professionalisation, governance, and transparency can be adapted to local realities. The objective is not to westernise family wealth management, but to strengthen it in a way that respects context while introducing discipline.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>Purpose as an Organising Principle</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Many global family offices are increasingly guided by clearly articulated purpose. Wealth is aligned with values that influence decisions across generations, from investment philosophy to governance design and philanthropy.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>For emerging economies, this emphasis is particularly relevant. Rapid wealth creation can easily outpace clarity of intent. </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/soumikbandyopadhyay/"><span>Soumik Bandyopadhyay</span></a><span> views purpose as a stabilising force that helps families avoid fragmentation as businesses evolve or assets are restructured. Purpose provides continuity even when the form of wealth changes.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>Preparing Future Generations</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Global family offices place strong emphasis on preparing the next generation for responsibility. Education, exposure, and gradual involvement are built into the system. Successors are given understanding before authority and context before control.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>In emerging economies, leadership transitions often happen too late or too abruptly. Founders may retain control for decades or hand over responsibilities without sufficient preparation. The global model demonstrates that continuity improves when leadership development is treated as an ongoing process rather than a one-time event.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>Philanthropy With Structure and Intent</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>In mature family office systems, philanthropy is rarely ad hoc. It is structured, governed, and aligned with family values. This ensures consistency and accountability while allowing families to contribute meaningfully beyond their businesses.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Emerging economies often approach philanthropy through compliance or ad-hoc opportunism or personal preference. The global model highlights the value of treating giving as a deliberate extension of family intent rather than an obligation disconnected from long-term goals.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>Institutions That Endure</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The global family office model offers emerging economies a clear lesson. Wealth becomes fragile when it grows faster than the systems designed to manage it. Family offices succeed not because they are complex, but because they are intentional.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As Soumik Bandyopadhyay has consistently observed, families that focus early on structure, governance, and clarity are better equipped to navigate change. Professionalisation, disciplined communication, and clearly defined purpose allow wealth to serve generations rather than burden them. For emerging economies experiencing rapid private wealth creation, the path forward lies not in copying global models, but in learning from them. When adapted thoughtfully, the family office becomes more than a financial structure. It becomes an institution designed to last.</span></p>

Saphale,
Maharashtra – January 8, 2026 : M. S. Pokar High School and Junior
College, Saphale, is redefining modern education with its experiential,
hands-on learning approach, nurturing not just academic excellence but
leadership, creativity, and social responsibility among students. Under the
visionary guidance of Sneha Virendra Surani, the school has emerged as a trailblazer
in fostering holistic development for children.

Moving
beyond traditional classroom instruction, M. S. Pokar High School integrates
practical learning experiences such as role plays, competitions, student-led
initiatives, public speaking platforms, and entrepreneurial projects. This
model equips students with essential life skills, including communication,
teamwork, problem-solving, and civic awareness, alongside academic achievement.

 Sneha Virendra Surani, Principal of M. S.
Pokar High School, has played a pivotal role in transforming the institution’s
educational philosophy. With a unique background outside conventional teaching,
Surani combines academic rigorincluding a Doctorate, MBA, B.Com, B.Ed, and
ongoing LLB with real-world insights. Recognized nationally, she was honored
with the “Youngest Principal of the Year Award” in both 2021 and 2025. A sports
enthusiast and former Mumbai Cricket Association representative, she also
inspired students during the COVID-19 pandemic by setting a world record as a
motivational speaker.

The
school emphasizes experiential and community-based learning. Students
participate in industrial visits, museum tours, hospital interactions, and
initiatives in old-age homes. Social and cultural awareness is reinforced through
activities like Ashtami Kanya Poojan, tree plantations, cleanliness campaigns,
and charity drives. Festivals across religions are celebrated with inclusivity,
reinforcing unity and mutual respect.

Events
such as Annual Day, Sports Day, Parent-Student Sports meets, and Grandparents
Day involve parents, alumni, and the local community, offering students
platforms to showcase talent, build confidence, and foster a sense of ownership
in their school. Supported by a dedicated, regularly trained faculty, M. S.
Pokar High School ensures a nurturing environment where students feel safe,
heard, and inspired.

Building
on this legacy, M. S. Pokar is now expanding its footprint in early childhood
education with the launch of “KIDS”, a pioneering preschool in Palghar.
Offering Nursery, Junior K.G., and Senior K.G., KIDS combines health education,
young entrepreneurship skills, Olympiad-style learning, and a dedicated
indoor-outdoor playzone all under one roof.

The
preschool’s curriculum emphasizes health awareness, teaching children
hygiene, nutrition, exercise, and emotional well-being in a playful and
age-appropriate manner. “Young Entrepreneur Skills” modules cultivate
creativity, problem-solving, communication, and basic financial literacy
through stories, role play, and classroom projects. Olympiad-based activities
foster reasoning, structured thinking, and early confidence in academics from
ages 3–7.

Physical
development is integral to KIDS, with structured indoor and outdoor play
activities designed to enhance fitness, motor skills, and overall well-being.
By offering these facilities together in one campus, KIDS aims to provide a
comprehensive early education experience without requiring multiple external
classes.

Affordability
remains a cornerstone of this initiative, ensuring advanced early education is
accessible to middle and lower-middle-income families in Palghar. Surani’s
vision is to create a nurturing, value-based environment that prepares children
not just for Grade 1 but for a confident, healthy, and future-ready life.

With the
launch of KIDS and the continued innovation at M. S. Pokar High School, the
institution reinforces its commitment to shaping confident leaders, creative
thinkers, and compassionate citizens prepared to thrive in the 21st century.

<title>What is Touching Towns? This Delhi&amp;Based Startup Is Fixing One of Highway Travel’s Most Ignored Problems</title>

<description><![CDATA[  Since 2022, India has witnessed a quiet but
powerful shift. Startup culture has moved beyond metro boardrooms and Ivy
League dreams. Across campuses and small towns, students and young
professionals are walking away from traditional career paths and even
high-profile degrees to build startups rooted in real, everyday problems.

 

Not all of these ideas are about apps, fintech, or
artificial intelligence. Some are far more grounded—born from lived
experiences, repeated frustrations, and gaps that most people complain about
but few choose to fix.

 

One such gap lies right along India’s highways.

 

When World-Class
Roads Meet Poor Pit Stops

India’s highways today are symbols of progress.
Expressways cut travel time dramatically, connect tier-2 cities to metros, and
support trade, tourism, and logistics at scale. On paper, the country’s road
infrastructure rivals global benchmarks.

 

But the moment a traveller needs to stop for food,
rest, or a washroom, the experience often changes. Clean, safe, and hygienic
pit stops are still difficult to find. Families hesitate, women travellers plan
stops carefully, and truck drivers have little choice but to adjust.

 

This mismatch between modern roads and outdated
roadside facilities is what led to the birth of Touching Towns.

 

A Chartered
Accountant Who Chose an Unusual Problem

Touching Towns was founded by Anshuman Chaudhary,
a Chartered Accountant who took an unconventional route into entrepreneurship.
Unlike many startup stories driven by valuation dreams, this one began with
observation.

 

Frequent highway travel made one thing clear: the
problem wasn’t always neglect. Many roadside eateries, dhabas, and small hotels
are family-run businesses operating without exposure to structured hygiene
standards or professional training.

 

“There is willingness,” Anshuman often
notes. “But there is a lack of awareness.”

 

That insight became the foundation of Touching
Towns.

 

Education Over
Penalties

Instead of acting like an inspection authority,
Touching Towns works as a partner. The startup focuses on education rather than
enforcement helping establishments understand what hygiene actually means in
daily operations.

 

The process begins with on-site assessments
covering kitchen practices, food handling, washroom maintenance, waste
management, and overall cleanliness. Based on these findings, customised
training is provided to staff, focusing on habits, routines, and simple systems
rather than costly upgrades.

 

The idea is to build pride in cleanliness, not
fear of punishment.

 

Starting with the
Delhi–Chandigarh Highway

Touching Towns began its work on the
Delhi–Chandigarh highway, one of North India’s busiest travel corridors. The
stretch serves everyone from business travellers and tourists to long-haul
truck drivers, making it a realistic testing ground.

 

Establishments that meet hygiene benchmarks are
recognised, helping travellers identify reliable stopovers. Regular monitoring
and traveller feedback add a layer of accountability, encouraging consistency.

 

Over time, trust begins to build not just in individual
outlets, but in the idea that highway stops can be dependable.

 

Why This Model
Matters

India’s highway hospitality ecosystem is massive
and fragmented. While food safety rules exist, enforcement is uneven,
especially outside urban centres. Touching Towns steps into this gap as a
neutral third party—aligning hygiene with business benefits.

 

Cleanliness directly impacts footfall, repeat
visits, and reputation. For roadside businesses operating in competitive
clusters, even small improvements can make a measurable difference.

 

Redefining What
Infrastructure Really Means

Touching Towns doesn’t build new rest stops or
restaurants. Instead, it upgrades what already exists making the model
scalable, cost-effective, and adaptable across regions.

 

As India’s startup wave continues to mature,
ventures like this signal a shift in thinking. Entrepreneurship is no longer
only about disruption, it’s about responsibility, dignity, and solving
overlooked problems at scale.

 

Because in the end, infrastructure isn’t just
about roads.


It’s about how people experience the journey.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai : Tata AIA Life
Insurance&#039;s Premier SIP is witnessing growing adoption among investors focused
on goal-based investing. This strategy is reshaping how Indians approach
financial planning in 2025 The ULIP product appeals to those planning for
specific milestones, whether funding a child&#039;s higher education, securing
retirement, or accumulating wealth for major life events, while maintaining
life insurance protection throughout the journey.

 

Key Features of Tata
AIA Premier SIP

•     
Zero Allocation
Charges: This plan has zero
premium allocation charges, ensuring a larger share of your premium is invested
in your chosen fund option.

•     
Premium Waiver
Benefit: Ensures continuation even when premium payment becomes
challenging due to critical circumstances.

•     
Integrated Protection
&amp; Growth: Combines life
insurance coverage with market-linked investment opportunities, helping you secure
your family’s future while building long-term wealth.

•     
Comprehensive Wellness
Support: Extends beyond financial benefits to include
healthcare consultations, preventive checkups, and medical guidance.



Tata AIA Premier SIP operates as a Unit Linked
Insurance Plan where premium payments serve two distinct purposes. A portion
provides life insurance coverage for beneficiaries, while the remainder enters
market-linked funds with exposure to equity and debt instruments. This dual
structure of the ULIP plan
allows investors to pursue wealth accumulation through market participation
while simultaneously ensuring financial security for their families.



The plan&#039;s approach to allocation charges
distinguishes it from conventional ULIPs. Many traditional products deduct
allocation fees from initial premiums, reducing the amount available for
investment during the early policy years. Tata AIA Premier SIP eliminates these
charges entirely, directing the full premium toward the chosen investment fund
from the outset. For investors with long-term horizons, this immediate capital
allocation can influence corpus growth significantly.



The Premium Waiver Benefit addresses
continuity concerns for systematic investors. When a policyholder is diagnosed
with a critical illness or disability, the provision waives future premiums
while keeping the policy active. This mechanism preserves the investment plan
during periods when premium payment may not be feasible, preventing policy
lapses that could otherwise disrupt long-term financial objectives.



The plan incorporates wellness components
alongside its financial structure. Policyholders gain access to
teleconsultations with medical professionals, opportunities for second medical
opinions on health matters, preventive health assessments, and reduced rates on
pharmaceuticals and diagnostic procedures. This integration reflects an
understanding that financial planning intersects with health management,
particularly over extended policy tenures.



The Smart Lady Benefit provides female
policyholders with an additional 0.5% in fund units on first-year premiums
under specified payment structures. This provision recognises the value of
encouraging women&#039;s participation in systematic wealth creation and addresses
gender considerations in financial planning.

This investment plan
gives the investor several withdrawal options (i.e., investment withdrawal
options) after completing the mandatory five-year lock-in period. The three
options available for withdrawals are designed to address specific financial
needs:



•     
The Systematic Withdrawal
Plan (SWP) enables periodic withdrawals either as a fixed amount or as a
predetermined percentage of the value of the investment. This provides a
supplemental income during your working years or after your working years.

•     
The Chosen-rate
Withdrawal Plan (CWP) enables investors to establish target growth rates. The
returns exceeding that threshold are available for withdrawal while the core
corpus continues compounding at the desired pace.

•     
Index-based Withdrawal
Plan (IWP) links withdrawal timing to market performance, releasing funds when
portfolio valuations surpass selected benchmark indices.

Fund switching provisions allow policyholders
to reallocate investments among available fund options in response to changing
market dynamics or evolving financial priorities. These switches occur without
tax implications or additional transaction charges, supporting dynamic
portfolio management across the policy tenure.



Current tax regulations provide deductions on
premium payments and tax exemptions on maturity proceeds, subject to prevailing
statutory conditions. This tax treatment enhances the plan&#039;s efficiency for
long-term wealth accumulation strategies.



Eligibility extends to individuals aged 18
through 50 years, with policy terms available up to 50 years. This range
accommodates varied life s ]]></description>

<title>India’s Compliance RegTech Moment: NYAI Emerges as the Country’s First Purpose&amp;Built Legal AI Platform for Enterprise&amp;Grade Regulatory Intelligence</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune, 7th Jan 2026 : As
global legal AI companies command billion-dollar valuations, India is carving
out a distinct path in the legal technology revolution. NYAI, India’s first
compliance-native Legal AI and RegTech platform, is rapidly establishing itself
as the trusted intelligence layer for Indian corporates, law firms, and legal
professionals navigating the country’s complex regulatory environment.

Within just six months of launch, NYAI has
secured investor funding—an early validation of the platform’s market relevance
and its ability to address one of India’s most pressing enterprise risks:
regulatory non-compliance.





India’s Legal AI
Opportunity Is Fundamentally Different





The global legal services industry exceeds USD
1 trillion in revenue, yet less than 3% of it is technology-enabled. While
international Legal AI platforms are optimised for Western legal systems, India
presents a fundamentally different challenge—multi-layered statutes, frequent
regulatory changes, jurisdictional overlaps, linguistic diversity, and high compliance
exposure.

NYAI was built specifically to solve for these
realities. Unlike generic legal copilots, NYAI is engineered as a
compliance-intelligence platform, purpose-built for Indian law, regulations,
and businesses.





A Compliance-First
Legal AI Platform—Built for India





Indian companies collectively incur an
estimated ₹95,000 crore annually in legal and regulatory penalties, with listed
entities alone accounting for over ₹1.65 lakh crore due to compliance failures,
contract lapses, and regulatory blind spots. NYAI addresses this systemic risk
through a sharply focused, enterprise-grade approach:





Compliance-Validated
Legal Intelligence





NYAI’s proprietary legal language models are
trained exclusively on millions of Indian legal documents and billions of
India-specific legal data tokens. Every output is grounded in current statutes,
regulations, and judicial developments—delivering hallucination-free,
citation-backed legal intelligence that professionals can rely on for
high-stakes decisions.





Enterprise-Scale
Compliance Automation





From a single AI-driven dashboard,
organisations can monitor 500+ contracts simultaneously, track obligations,
renewal timelines, regulatory triggers, and compliance milestones in real
time—transforming compliance from a reactive cost centre into a proactive risk
management function.





10x Productivity at a
Fraction of Traditional Cost





What previously took days of manual review and
hours of legal research is now completed in seconds—with structured outputs,
summaries, and verified legal references. This efficiency unlocks scale for
Indian legal teams operating under intense cost and time pressure.





Predictive Regulatory
Risk Management





NYAI goes beyond alerts and checklists. Using
predictive analytics and continuous monitoring, the platform helps
organisations identify potential compliance gaps before they translate into
enforcement actions or penalties—marking a shift from reactive compliance to
forward-looking risk governance.





Native Indian Language
Support

With built-in support for Hindi and Marathi,
and a roadmap to cover all major Indian languages, NYAI democratises access to
enterprise-grade legal AI—making advanced compliance intelligence usable across
geographies, courts, and practice areas.





From Launch to Funding
in Six Months





In a competitive global Legal AI landscape,
NYAI’s rapid funding milestone underscores both strong investor confidence and
clear product–market fit. While global platforms aim for breadth, NYAI has
identified a high-value, high-urgency niche: compliance automation and
regulatory intelligence for India.

As AI adoption accelerates across legal
services, Indian enterprises are poised to leapfrog legacy workflows and adopt
compliance-native AI solutions built for their jurisdictional realities.





Built by Experts,
Designed for Legal Workflows





NYAI is developed by legal professionals for
legal professionals, offering:

“India
doesn’t need imported legal AI—it needs compliance intelligence built for its
regulatory complexity,” said Advocate Chinmay Bhosale, Co-founder,
NYAI. “Our early traction confirms that Indian corporates and law firms
are seeking AI that understands Indian law, speaks Indian languages, and
anticipates Indian compliance risks,” he added.

 “NYAI is not merely adopting global Legal
AI trends—we are defining India’s compliance-first legal technology category,”
said Vikrant Labde, Co-Founder, NYAI.

“NYAI
is building more than a product; we’re building an ecosystem around
compliance-first legal intelligence. Our partnerships with enterprises, law
firms, and institutions are accelerating adoption and shaping how organisations
think about regulatory  ]]></description>

<title>One Two Cha Cha Chaa trailer hints at a wild road trip where every situation turns into comedy: Releases on 16th January</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/one-two-cha-cha-chaa-trailer-hints-at-a-wild-road-trip-where-every-situation-turns-into-comedy-releases-on-16th-january</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The trailer of the upcoming Hindi
action-adventure comedy One Two Cha Cha Chaa was unveiled today at Sharda
University, Noida, creating strong buzz among students and the media. The film
is all set to hit theatres on 16th January 2026.

 

The trailer offers a glimpse into a story
that begins with a simple responsibility but quickly turns into a journey
filled with confusion, chaos, and laughter. It shows three young men trying to
take their unpredictable chacha on a journey, hoping to manage him and avoid trouble.
However, trouble seems to follow them at every step.

 

As the journey progresses, the boys find
themselves surrounded by situations they never expected. From misunderstandings
to accidental run-ins with dangerous mafia elements, every moment adds a new
layer of chaos. The trailer makes it clear that while the stakes keep rising,
the film never loses its light-hearted tone. Each problem turns into a funny
situation, making the comedy feel natural and relatable.

 At the trailer launch, Lalit Prabhakar
said, “The story feels very close to real life. We have all been in situations
where one lie or one mistake leads to bigger problems. This film takes that
idea and turns it into entertainment.”

 

Anant Joshi added, “The journey keeps
getting crazier, but the emotions remain honest. That balance makes the comedy
work.”

 

Nyrraa Banerji shared, “What I enjoyed is
how the film shows chaos with warmth. And my character just adds to the chaos .
Even when everything is going wrong, there is a sense of fun and togetherness.”

 

Produced by Pellucidar Production Pvt Ltd
and directed by Abhishek Raj and Rajnish Thakur, with co-producer Amit Gupta
the movie has an ensemble cast including Ashutosh Rana, Abhimanyu Singh, Mukesh
Tiwari, Harsh Mayar, Lalit Prabhakar, Anant V Joshi, Ashok Pathak, and Nyrraa
Banerji. 

 

Set on the road and rooted in small-town
India, One Two Cha Cha Chaa blends nostalgic humour with a fresh storytelling
style. The trailer promises a fun-filled ride where nothing goes as planned,
and that’s exactly what makes the journey enjoyable.

exhibitions, Services International brings a structured and outcome-oriented

Commercial &amp; Perimeter Security,
covering surveillance systems, access control, intrusion detection, and

highlighting technologies and solutions supporting law enforcement, public
safety, border management, and internal security operations.

Cybersecurity,
addressing critical concerns around data protection, network security, cloud
security, threat detection, and cyber resilience across sectors.

●     
Supporting Solutions,
encompassing communication systems, analytics, AI-enabled platforms, system
integration, and enabling technologies that strengthen both physical and
digital security frameworks.

The
exhibition is supported by leading national industry associations, reinforcing
its relevance and reach across multiple sectors. These include Cyber
Security Association of India (CSAI), Electronic Security Association of
India (ESAI), Architects, Engineers &amp; Surveyors&#039; Association (AESA),
Communication Multimedia and Infrastructure (CMAI), and Telecom
Equipment Manufacturers Association of India (TEMA). Their support is
expected to drive strong participation from professionals across cybersecurity,
electronic security, telecom, infrastructure, and built-environment domains.

Positioned

deliver clear value to exhibitors by facilitating direct access to qualified
buyers, decision-makers, and institutional stakeholders. Exhibitors will have
the opportunity to showcase technologies, launch solutions, build partnerships,
and strengthen market presence in a focused and professionally curated
environment.

With
increasing investments in smart infrastructure, digital governance, telecom
networks, and national security, the demand for integrated and future-ready
security solutions continues to grow. Secure Nation Expo 2026 aligns with this
momentum by offering a credible, industry-backed platform that supports market
expansion, collaboration, and long-term growth.

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rise-against-hunger-india-to-empower-over-1000-adolescents-through-nutrition-integrated-life-skills-education</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Bangalore : Rise
Against Hunger India (RAHI) has scaled up its pioneering nutrition-integrated
life skills education programme for adolescents and young adults, following a
successful pilot in Bhubaneswar. Through a robust Training of Trainers (ToT)
initiative, 26 NGO partners and 53 trainers are now equipped to deliver
structured modules across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad.

The
programme, designed to address the critical link between nutrition and overall
well-being, aims to empower young people to make informed choices for their
health. Modules cover themes such as healthy eating habits, hygiene, clean
cooking practices, and awareness around ultra-processed, high-fat, and
high-calorie foods.

“Adolescence is a ‘second window of opportunity’ to shape
nutritional and health outcomes and address gaps from early childhood. Through
this initiative, we aim to build agency among young people so they can make
informed choices about food and their personal well-being,” said Mr. Dola
Mohapatra, Chief Executive Officer, Rise Against Hunger India.

He added that the programme seeks to foster leadership among
adolescents, enabling them to become role models and change agents within their
communities.

The programme is delivered through schools, community centres, and
youth groups, leveraging a cascade model where trained NGO partners and peer
educators impart life skills education within their communities. Integrated
into RAHI’s broader nutrition strategy, the initiative complements efforts to
provide nutritious meals, reinforcing the link between nourishment, learning
outcomes, and overall development.

Each trained educator will support a group of 40–50 adolescents
who will complete a ten-part module through activity-based group sessions and
peer learning meetings. With 26 NGO partners on board, the programme is
expected to reach over 1,000 adolescents in its initial phase, creating a
strong foundation for scale and impact.

Over
the past decade, Rise Against Hunger India has served more than 40 million
meals and reached 3.8 million people through its food security and livelihood
programmes, working with grassroots NGOs, rural communities and humanitarian
partners. ]]></description>

<title>VT Markets India Deepens Year&amp;End CSR Efforts with Versova Beach Clean&amp;Up Drive</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/vt-markets-india-deepens-year-end-csr-efforts-with-versova-beach-clean-up-drive</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, India : VT Markets’ India team
gathered at Versova Beach in Mumbai with 40 dedicated volunteers at daybreak,
joining hands with Finanza, the finance and entrepreneurship festival of
Mithibai College. Inspired by December’s spirit of togetherness and giving
back, the team united with local youth volunteers in a meaningful effort that
brought a sense of renewal and shared purpose to the shoreline.

As part of its expanding community outreach efforts, VT Markets India
continues to accelerate its CSR impact following its September initiative
supporting families affected by the Punjab floods through a partnership with
Mission Deep Education Trust.

During the clean-up, VT Markets’ employees worked alongside Finanza
volunteers to remove around large amount of debris, cleared accumulated waste, and
restored cleaner stretches of the beach and surrounding areas. The
collaboration not only revitalized a cherished public space but also
demonstrated how coordinated action can inspire broader environmental
awareness. This hands-on participation reaffirmed VT Markets’ belief that
sustainable corporate progress must be reflected in meaningful engagement with
the communities it serves.

As the day concluded, the clean-up drive stood as a testament to VT
Markets’ broader vision: operating with integrity, driving sustainable action,
and delivering support where it is needed most. Together with its recent
flood-relief initiative in Punjab which provided 100 comprehensive relief kits,
including essential food supplies and daily necessities to families in the
hardest-hit areas, VT Markets continues to strengthen its role as a responsible
and empathetic corporate citizen.

Through purposeful partnerships and consistent outreach, the company
remains committed to uplifting communities, inspiring collective action, and
contributing to a cleaner, more resilient future.

<title>Raghav Mehta on ‘Sounds of Kumbha’ and India’s Moment on the Global Music Stage</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/raghav-mehta-on-sounds-of-kumbha-and-indias-moment-on-the-global-music-stage</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/raghav-mehta-on-sounds-of-kumbha-and-indias-moment-on-the-global-music-stage</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The GRAMMY nomination
of Sounds of Kumbha in the Best Global Music Album category at the 68th GRAMMY
Awards 2026 marks a defining moment for Indian music. Central to the album’s
musical direction is composer and producer Raghav Mehta, whose work plays a significant
role in shaping how India’s spiritual sound traditions are translated for a
global listening context.

Rather than being
created with awards in mind, Sounds of Kumbha was conceived as a sonic
documentation of the Mahakumbha, one of the largest spiritual gatherings in the
world. The album blends on-ground field recordings, ancient chants,
contemporary world music, and immersive binaural sound design to capture the
scale, emotion, and energy of the event.

For Raghav, the project
was about translating something deeply ancient into a language the global
listener could feel. Working closely with creative lead Siddhant Bhatia, and
alongside producers such as Jim Kimo West, Ron Korb, Charu Suri, Devraj Sanyal,
and Madi Das, the album brought together over fifty artists from across
cultures. The focus was on collaboration without hierarchy, allowing diverse
musical voices to coexist while staying rooted in shared intent.

Produced in partnership
with the Government of Uttar Pradesh, Network18, HistoryTV18, and Universal
Music Group, the album has been widely viewed as a form of cultural diplomacy,
offering a lived experience of India’s spiritual heritage rather than
explaining it.

For Raghav, the
recognition signals a broader shift in the global listening landscape. Indian
music, he believes, no longer needs to dilute or reframe its cultural roots to
be understood internationally. The nomination affirms that work grounded in
authenticity and craft can travel widely on its own terms. Shaped by experience
across Indian cinema, advertising, and international collaborations, his
practice continues to explore how traditional sound worlds can coexist
seamlessly with contemporary production languages, an approach that
increasingly defines the direction of his work.

As Sounds of Kumbha
continues to gain international attention, the moment signals not just a
milestone for one album, but a growing global readiness to engage with Indian
music as an equal and confident voice in the world’s cultural conversation.

<description><![CDATA[   Mumbai, Jan 2026, India : Financial Software and Systems (FSS) a global leader in payments technology and transaction processing, has become the first payments company in India, the Middle East, APAC and South Africa to be certified as an ISO IEC 42001 Certification Lead, reinforcing its leadership in responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) in payments and banking technology. By achieving ISO IEC 42001 Certification, FSS signals a shift from ad-hoc AI usage to a structured, enterprise-wide AI governance model, positioning AI governance alongside information security and quality management as a core business priority. AI is deeply embedded across FSS’s platforms, supporting use cases such as fraud detection, transaction monitoring, reconciliation, dispute management, and operational automation. By aligning with ISO IEC 42001, FSS has implemented structured oversight across the entire AI lifecycle, ensuring that AI systems are continuously monitored after deployment and assessed for risks such as bias, unintended outcomes, and regulatory non-compliance. ISO/IEC 42001 represents a significant evolution in how organizations govern AI, moving beyond ad-hoc adoption to a structured, organization-wide AI governance framework. By aligning its AI systems with this standard, FSS has embedded governance, accountability, and risk management across the entire AI lifecycle, placing AI governance alongside information security and quality management as a core business discipline. AI is deeply embedded across FSS platforms, supporting critical use cases such as fraud detection, transaction monitoring, reconciliation, dispute management, and operational automation. Through its ISO/IEC 42001 aligned framework, FSS ensures that AI systems are continuously monitored post-deployment and proactively assessed for risks including bias, unintended outcomes, explainability gaps, and regulatory non-compliance. The standard is particularly relevant for financial services, where traditional IT and information security frameworks do not fully address AI-specific risks, including fairness, explainability, and accountability. ISO IEC 42001 establishes clear ownership of AI systems, defined governance structures, and ongoing performance monitoring: safeguards that are increasingly expected by regulators and customers alike. V Balasubramanian, CEO, Financial Software and Systems (FSS), said, “AI is increasingly shaping real-time decisions in payments, from fraud prevention to risk management. As AI becomes core infrastructure, governance becomes non-negotiable. In today’s world, not being compliant has a risk associated with it because of the way AI is changing payments. This certification underscores our commitment to building AI systems that are not just powerful, but also trustworthy, explainable, and accountable.” ISO IEC 42001 is a new and globally evolving standard, and only a limited number of organisations currently meet its stringent requirements. Early adoption places FSS ahead of the curve as global regulatory frameworks, including the EU AI Act, and the Reserve Bank of India’s emphasis on ethical and responsible AI, begin to shape how AI is governed in financial services. FSS’s AI governance framework has been independently assessed by TÜV SÜD, a globally recognised certification and assurance body. The Certification Lead status reflects a higher level of maturity, recognising FSS’s ability to not only adopt the standard but also lead its implementation at an enterprise scale. About Financial Software and Systems (FSS) Financial Software and Systems (FSS) is a global leader in payments technology and transaction processing, offering a comprehensive suite of products and solutions that redefine the payment experience. With a presence in over 25 countries, FSS powers seamless transactions and enhances customer experiences for banks, financial institutions, and fintechs worldwide.

<title>India Poised to Lead Global Hospitality Growth with 15–17% CAGR Through 2030: Anirudh Reddy, Viceroy Hotels</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Delhi, January 6 2025 : India’s hospitality industry
is set to significantly outperform global growth trends through the end of the
decade—2030—supported by strong domestic travel demand, rising incomes,
sustained investment in tourism infrastructure, the continued rise of bleisure
and MICE tourism, and the country’s unparalleled demographic and cultural
diversity, which has historically been a powerful driver of travel, tourism,
and hospitality consumption, says Anirudh Reddy, Director – Viceroy
Hotels.

 

Anirudh Reddy adds, “Hospitality
sector recorded a strong recovery in FY 2024–25, delivering revenue growth of
around 7–9%, alongside rising occupancies in premium and upper-upscale hotels,
despite supply constraints in key urban markets. Looking ahead, India’s hotel
market revenues are expected to grow at a robust 15–17% CAGR through 2030,
nearly double the projected global growth rate.”

 

Globally, the hospitality sector is entering a steady
growth phase following a strong post-pandemic recovery. Travel and tourism are
expected to contribute nearly US$15 trillion to global GDP by 2030, while the
global hotel industry is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of approximately 8–9% between 2025 and 2030, according to estimates by
the World Travel &amp; Tourism Council. 

 

Domestic travel is forecast to reach nearly five
billion trips annually by 2030. This expansion will be supported by rising
disposable incomes, expanding middle-class consumption, enhanced air and road
connectivity, and continued public and private investment in tourism
infrastructure. Collectively, hospitality and tourism are expected to
contribute over ₹40 trillion to India’s GDP by the mid-2030s, as per
projections from the India Brand Equity Foundation and the World Travel &amp; Tourism
Council.

 

Reflecting confidence in these long-term sectoral
fundamentals, Viceroy Hotels recently announced the acquisition of Marriott
Executive Apartments Hyderabad, strengthening its presence in the premium and
extended-stay hospitality segment. Revenue from Marriott Executive
Apartments is expected to start flowing into the company from Q4, providing
near-term earnings visibility alongside long-term growth potential.

 

The acquisition agreement was signed in the presence
of (from Left) Ravinder Reddy Kondareddy, SP Reddy, Anirudh Reddy Kondareddy,
Amarender Reddy Bandaru.

 

Viceroy Hotels has been looking ahead to expand its
portfolio to 1,000 keys by 2030, supported by its existing portfolio of
about 550 keys and the addition of approximately 200 keys through an upcoming
greenfield project in Hyderabad. ]]></description>

<title>Marvelous Mrs. India Season 3 Celebrates Beauty, Courage and Transformation in Regal Udaipur</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Winners of Marvelous Mrs./Ms India Season 3Udaipur (Rajasthan) [India], January 5 : Udaipur witnessed an evening of grace, emotion, and powerful storytelling as Nuke Preworkout presents Marvelous Mrs India Season 3 unfolded on 16th December. More than a pageant, the evening stood as a heartfelt celebration of womanhood — where dreams were honoured, identities reclaimed, and beauty redefined from the inside out.The prestigious crown of Nuke Preworkout, Marvelous Mrs India Season 3, was won by Anjali Gorang Kothari, whose poise, wisdom and life experience moved both the audience and the jury. Diti Thacker was announced as the First Runner-Up, while Dr Suyesha Khanijao claimed the title of Second Runner-Up, each embodying strength, authenticity and quiet confidence.In another title category- Marvelous Ms India for Unmarried women over 35, Aditi Agarwal emerged victorious, with Eesha Agarwal securing the First Runner-Up position — once again reinforcing that this platform celebrates diversity of journeys, not a singular definition of beauty.The presence of distinguished dignitaries elevated the evening. Mrs Amrita Fadnavis, First Lady of Maharashtra and wife of Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister Mr Devendra Fadnavis, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, lending warmth and encouragement to the participants. Nivritti Kumari of Mewar, representing a lineage of grace and legacy, attended as Guest of Honour, adding royal elegance to the night.The panel of judges featured celebrated personalities: Sangeeta Bijlani, a Bollywood actress and Winner of Mrs UAE World; Taylor Elizabeth Peramond, a winner of Mrs UAE World; and industrialist Dhruv Somani, who brought global perspective, empathy, and discernment to the judging process.Hair and makeup by Mala Motwani of Shine &amp; Glow and Designer Ashfaq Ahmed made the special chabbis look their gorgeous best.Founded by Dr Aditi Govitrikar, with support from Aarzoo Govitrikar, Marvelous Mrs India is built on a philosophy that challenges long-standing stereotypes. With the powerful hashtag #BeautyInsideOut, the pageant boldly declares that beauty is not defined by height, weight, age, skin colour or language. It is one of India’s most inclusive platforms — welcoming women from all walks of life, at any stage of their journey.“If you look at our winners, you will understand our belief,” shares Dr Govitrikar. “Sunita Dia is a practising doctor, Salona Pati proudly embraces her curves, and Anjali Gorang Kothari is a stunning and fit 58-year-old woman. This is what real beauty looks like — lived, earned and owned.”What truly sets Marvelous Mrs India apart is its holistic transformation journey.

Dr Govitrikar personally mentors every contestant through one-on-one sessions, focusing not just on ramp walk and presentation, but also on confidence, emotional healing, mindset shifts, and self-worth.For many women, this platform is not about winning a crown — it is about reclaiming themselves.As the curtains closed on an unforgettable Season 3, one thing was clear: Marvelous Mrs India is not just creating queens — it is creating empowered women who walk back into their lives taller, braver and more unapologetically themselves.The journey continues.Marvelous Mrs. India returns in September 2026, and registrations are already open — inviting women everywhere to step into a transformation that could change their lives forever. ]]></description>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 dir="ltr"></h1>
<p dir="ltr"><span> Winners of Marvelous Mrs./Ms India Season 3</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Udaipur (Rajasthan) [India], January 5 :</span><span> Udaipur witnessed an evening of grace, emotion, and powerful storytelling as Nuke Preworkout presents Marvelous Mrs India Season 3 unfolded on 16th December. More than a pageant, the evening stood as a heartfelt celebration of womanhood — where dreams were honoured, identities reclaimed, and beauty redefined from the inside out.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The prestigious crown of Nuke Preworkout, Marvelous Mrs India Season 3, was won by Anjali Gorang Kothari, whose poise, wisdom and life experience moved both the audience and the jury. Diti Thacker was announced as the First Runner-Up, while Dr Suyesha Khanijao claimed the title of Second Runner-Up, each embodying strength, authenticity and quiet confidence.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>In another title category- Marvelous Ms India for Unmarried women over 35, Aditi Agarwal emerged victorious, with Eesha Agarwal securing the First Runner-Up position — once again reinforcing that this platform celebrates diversity of journeys, not a singular definition of beauty.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The presence of distinguished dignitaries elevated the evening. Mrs Amrita Fadnavis, First Lady of Maharashtra and wife of Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister Mr Devendra Fadnavis, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, lending warmth and encouragement to the participants. Nivritti Kumari of Mewar, representing a lineage of grace and legacy, attended as Guest of Honour, adding royal elegance to the night.</span></p>
<p><span><span> </span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The panel of judges featured celebrated personalities: Sangeeta Bijlani, a Bollywood actress and Winner of Mrs UAE World; Taylor Elizabeth Peramond, a winner of Mrs UAE World; and industrialist Dhruv Somani, who brought global perspective, empathy, and discernment to the judging process.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Hair and makeup by Mala Motwani of Shine &amp; Glow and Designer Ashfaq Ahmed made the special chabbis look their gorgeous best.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Founded by Dr Aditi Govitrikar, with support from Aarzoo Govitrikar, Marvelous Mrs India is built on a philosophy that challenges long-standing stereotypes. With the powerful hashtag #BeautyInsideOut, the pageant boldly declares that beauty is not defined by height, weight, age, skin colour or language. It is one of India’s most inclusive platforms — welcoming women from all walks of life, at any stage of their journey.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>“If you look at our winners, you will understand our belief,” shares Dr Govitrikar. “Sunita Dia is a practising doctor, Salona Pati proudly embraces her curves, and Anjali Gorang Kothari is a stunning and fit 58-year-old woman. This is what real beauty looks like — lived, earned and owned.”</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>What truly sets Marvelous Mrs India apart is its holistic transformation journey. Participants undergo an intense and nurturing online training programme that spans a month, culminating in immersive, hands-on grooming at the finale. Dr Govitrikar personally mentors every contestant through one-on-one sessions, focusing not just on ramp walk and presentation, but also on confidence, emotional healing, mindset shifts, and self-worth.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>For many women, this platform is not about winning a crown — it is about reclaiming themselves.</span></p>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/vks-sharanya-welfare-society-launches-skill-academy-and-artisan-craft-centre-in-hyderabad</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], January 5 : VKS Sharanya Welfare Society, a 14-year-old
non-profit organisation working towards social upliftment and livelihood
generation, has inaugurated a new branch of the VKS Created Skill Academy
at Shamshabad, Madhura Nagar, Hyderabad. The initiative has been launched under
the Society’s skill centre programme aimed at empowering youth through
market-oriented training and placement support.

The facility was inaugurated on January 1 by Sri
Madepatti Srinivas Rao, Superintendent of Police, CID, Telangana, in the
presence of community members, artisans, and beneficiaries associated with the
organisation’s programmes.

The newly launched Skill Academy has been
designed to address the growing gap between education and employability. It
offers structured training aligned with current industry requirements, enabling
young individuals to acquire practical skills that improve their chances of
employment. The programme focuses on skill development, work readiness, and
placement assistance, with the objective of helping youth achieve financial
independence and long-term career stability.

According to the organisation, the Skill Academy
will work closely with industry partners and training professionals to ensure
that the curriculum remains relevant to market needs. The initiative primarily
targets youth from economically weaker sections, providing them access to
skill-based education that can translate into sustainable livelihood
opportunities.

Alongside the Skill Academy, the Society also
inaugurated a handcrafted artisan boutique, which showcases traditional
and contemporary handcrafted products created by artisans from West Bengal,
Rajasthan, and Telangana. The craft centre aims to preserve and promote
India’s rich cultural heritage while supporting rural artisan communities.

The boutique features a diverse range of
products including terracotta pottery, earthenware coffee mugs and cutlery,
terracotta jewellery, handloom kurtas, kantha work garments, silk dupattas,
kalamkari prints, block-printed fabrics, appliqué work sarees, and ethnic
apparel. The space has been curated to reflect traditional aesthetics, offering
visitors an immersive experience of India’s regional art forms.

Each product sold at the craft centre directly
contributes to the livelihood of artisan families, creating a sustainable
income model rooted in traditional craftsmanship. The initiative has been
conceptualised and executed by women, with a strong focus on supporting women
artisans and encouraging community-led economic participation.

The artisan boutique operates under Alpona,
an art initiative that has been active for the past 14 years and is associated
with VKS Sharanya Welfare Society. Alpona has consistently worked towards
creating platforms for traditional artists to showcase their work and connect
with wider markets.

Addressing the
gathering, Sri Madepatti Srinivas Rao, Superintendent of Police, CID

Telangana, stated that he was familiar with the founder of the
organisation and her long-standing commitment to supporting destitute and
marginalised communities. He noted that her dedication to social service
motivated him to inaugurate both the Skill Academy and the craft centre. He
encouraged the organisation to expand its reach to rural areas and continue
working towards empowerment through education, skills, and self-reliance.

The Chief Guest spent time interacting with the
founder, artisans, and beneficiaries, and extended his best wishes for the
continued success of the initiatives.

With the launch of the VKS Creative Skill
Academy and the artisan craft centre, VKS Creative Skill Academy aims to
strengthen its efforts in youth empowerment, skill development, cultural
preservation, and inclusive economic growth.

<description><![CDATA[ Bangalore,
Jan 5 : Pharmed, one of India’s fastest-growing
pharmaceutical companies, along with the Indian Orthopaedic Association’s (IOA)
Osteoporosis Council recently unveiled the Indian Osteoporosis Guidelines 2025
at IOACON 2025 in Guwahati. The Indian Orthopaedic Association Guidelines for
Osteoporosis 2025 have been published in the Indian Journal of Orthopaedics,
the official journal of the IOA, underscoring their scientific credibility and
national relevance.

The
newly released guidelines provide a structured, evidence-based, and practical
framework for the prevention, early diagnosis, and management of osteoporosis.
They are intended for a wide range of healthcare professionals, including
orthopaedic surgeons, physicians, specialists, nurses, and allied healthcare providers
involved in osteoporosis care.

Developed
using a robust Delphi consensus methodology, the guidelines represent the
collective expertise of 62 nationally recognised osteoporosis and bone health
experts from across India. The expert panel comprised leading clinicians,
researchers, and academicians, including Dr Ramesh Sen, Dr Shiva Shankar Jha,
Dr S. S. Amarnath, Dr Jawahar T. Jethwa, Dr Jai Prakash Tiwari, Dr Chinmoy Das,
Dr Srinivas Kambhampati, Dr Murali Poduval, Dr Bharatkumar R. Dave, Dr Ram Chaddha,
Dr Karthik Vishwanathan, Dr S. Chandrashekara, Dr Renuka Panchagnula, and Dr
Sanjay Bhadada, among others.

The
development process involved six structured rounds of questionnaires, ensuring
scientific rigour, transparency, and alignment with current clinical evidence.
This systematic approach ensures that the guidelines reflect current best
practices and expert consensus, while remaining adaptable to evolving
scientific knowledge over the next five to six years.

Commenting
on the significance of the release, Dr Amarnath, Orthopaedic Surgeon and
Chairman – Indian Osteoporosis Council of the IOA, said, “The development of
the Indian Osteoporosis Guidelines 2025 was a rigorous and highly collaborative
effort involving experts from across the country. Through multiple structured
rounds of consensus, in-depth deliberations, and careful evaluation of
available evidence, the panel worked to ensure that the recommendations are
both scientifically sound and practical for day-to-day clinical use. Our shared
objective was to create guidelines that truly assist doctors in delivering
consistent and effective osteoporosis care within the Indian healthcare
setting.”

Highlighting
the academic and clinical importance of the initiative, Dr Srinivas
Kambhampati, Orthopaedic Surgeon and Editor-in-Chief, Indian Journal of
Orthopaedics, stated, “Osteoporosis continues to pose a significant and
growing challenge in India, particularly with an ageing population and rising
fracture risk. These guidelines provide clinicians with a clear,
evidence-based, and context-specific framework that supports informed
decision-making in screening, diagnosis, and management. Their publication in
the Indian Journal of Orthopaedics reflects both the academic rigour of the
process and their value as a long-term reference for practising doctors and
researchers alike.”

With
a legacy spanning more than seven decades, Pharmed continues to focus on
evidence-based speciality healthcare solutions aimed at improving patient
outcomes and quality of life. Its association with the guidelines reflects its
long-standing commitment to advancing bone and joint health under the guiding
philosophy of ‘making bones and joints the heart of our profession.’ 

Speaking
on Pharmed’s role, Dr Jayanta Jana, Senior Executive Vice President – Medical,
Regulatory Affairs, and Business Alliances, said, “At Pharmed, we believe
that meaningful progress in bone health begins with strong scientific
foundations. By supporting the Indian Osteoporosis Council for the release of
the Indian Osteoporosis Guidelines 2025, we reaffirm our commitment to
evidence-based care, preventive healthcare strategies, and long-term engagement
with the medical fraternity.”

Beyond
its therapeutic portfolio, Pharmed has been actively driving patient awareness
and early detection initiatives through the India Bone Health Initiative
(IBHI). Through nationwide Bone Mineral Density (BMD) screening camps, IBHI
facilitates early diagnosis and improves access to osteoporosis education. In
collaboration with doctors and healthcare institutions, the initiative has
reached lakhs of individuals across India, contributing to timely screening,
informed treatment decisions, and preventive bone healthcare.

Through
sustained efforts in clinical collaboration, medical education, and patient
outreach, Pharmed continues to support the development of a healthcare
ecosystem where bone health is prioritised, awareness is widespread, and
preventive care is integrated into routine clinical practice. ]]></description>

<title>Pocket HRMS starts New Year with a bang: launches India&amp;apos;s first HRMS Copilot™</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/pocket-hrms-starts-new-year-with-a-bang-launches-indias-first-hrms-copilot</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/pocket-hrms-starts-new-year-with-a-bang-launches-indias-first-hrms-copilot</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ January 5th, 2026 - Mumbai, India :  Pocket HRMS, India&#039;s leading provider of cloud-based Human Resource Management Systems
(HRMS) and payroll automation solutions, today announced the launch of HRMS
Copilot™, an advanced AI-powered enhancement to its intelligent HR copilot.
This innovation elevates the platform from a simple query responder to a
strategic ally, empowering employees with seamless self-service while enabling
HR teams to shift focus toward high-impact initiatives.

 

Previously, the Pocket HRMS chatbot efficiently
addressed routine employee inquiries through the mobile app and Employee
Self-Service (ESS) portal, supporting millions of interactions annually.
With HRMS Copilot™, the system evolves into a proactive engagement engine,
leveraging application-based intelligence to deliver context-aware, real-time
insights. By integrating deeply with the HRMS core and company databases, it
transcends keyword matching to provide personalized, actionable responses,
reducing friction and fostering a more connected workforce while keeping data
secure for the organization. 

 

For employees, HRMS Copilot™ acts as an always
available 24/7 HR advisor, granting instant access to critical information
without navigating complex menus. Natural language processing allows users to
pose everyday queries such as, &quot;Can I wear casual attire on Fridays?&quot;
or &quot;Why was my salary lower this month?&quot; The system draws from live
data, policy repositories, and payroll records to deliver precise,
easy-to-understand answers, enhancing satisfaction, autonomy, and overall
engagement. This self-service capability not only streamlines daily tasks but
also promotes a sense of empowerment, contributing to higher retention and
productivity in dynamic work environments.

 

Strategically, HRMS Copilot™ liberates HR
professionals from administrative overload, allowing them to prioritize talent
development, organizational culture, and business growth. Internal data from
Pocket HRMS indicates that routine queries consume up to 40% of HR&#039;s productive
time; this solution automates those interactions, enabling teams to analyze
trends, design inclusive policies, and drive data-informed strategies. By
automating query resolution with 24/7 availability, HR gains bandwidth for
proactive initiatives like skill-building programs and diversity efforts, ultimately
aligning HR functions with broader organizational objectives.

 

Jitendra Somani, Co-Founder of Pocket HRMS, stated:
&quot;At Pocket HRMS, our mission has always been to alleviate HR&#039;s operational

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">January 5<sup>th</sup>, 2026 - Mumbai, India : </span></b><span lang="EN-IN"> Pocket HRMS, India's leading provider of cloud-based <a href="https://www.pockethrms.com/hrms-software/">Human Resource Management Systems</a> (HRMS) and payroll automation solutions, today announced the launch of HRMS Copilot™, an advanced AI-powered enhancement to its intelligent HR copilot. This innovation elevates the platform from a simple query responder to a strategic ally, empowering employees with seamless self-service while enabling HR teams to shift focus toward high-impact initiatives.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Previously, the Pocket HRMS chatbot efficiently addressed routine employee inquiries through the mobile app and <a href="https://www.pockethrms.com/employee-self-service-portal/">Employee Self-Service (ESS) portal</a>, supporting millions of interactions annually. With HRMS Copilot™, the system evolves into a proactive engagement engine, leveraging application-based intelligence to deliver context-aware, real-time insights. By integrating deeply with the HRMS core and company databases, it transcends keyword matching to provide personalized, actionable responses, reducing friction and fostering a more connected workforce while keeping data secure for the organization. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">For employees, HRMS Copilot™ acts as an always available 24/7 HR advisor, granting instant access to critical information without navigating complex menus. Natural language processing allows users to pose everyday queries such as, "Can I wear casual attire on Fridays?" or "Why was my salary lower this month?" The system draws from live data, policy repositories, and payroll records to deliver precise, easy-to-understand answers, enhancing satisfaction, autonomy, and overall engagement. This self-service capability not only streamlines daily tasks but also promotes a sense of empowerment, contributing to higher retention and productivity in dynamic work environments.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Strategically, HRMS Copilot™ liberates HR professionals from administrative overload, allowing them to prioritize talent development, organizational culture, and business growth. Internal data from Pocket HRMS indicates that routine queries consume up to 40% of HR's productive time; this solution automates those interactions, enabling teams to analyze trends, design inclusive policies, and drive data-informed strategies. By automating query resolution with 24/7 availability, HR gains bandwidth for proactive initiatives like skill-building programs and diversity efforts, ultimately aligning HR functions with broader organizational objectives.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[  Mumbai : Tata AIA Life Insurance&#039;s Premier SIP is witnessing growing adoption
among investors focused on goal-based investing. This strategy is reshaping how
Indians approach financial planning in 2025 The ULIP product appeals to those planning
for specific milestones, whether funding a child&#039;s higher education, securing
retirement, or accumulating wealth for major life events, while maintaining
life insurance protection throughout the journey.

 

Key Features of Tata
AIA Premier SIP

 

•     
Zero Allocation
Charges: This plan has zero
premium allocation charges, ensuring a larger share of your premium is invested
in your chosen fund option.

•     
Premium Waiver
Benefit: Ensures continuation even when premium payment becomes
challenging due to critical circumstances.

•     
Integrated Protection
&amp; Growth: Combines life
insurance coverage with market-linked investment opportunities, helping you
secure your family’s future while building long-term wealth.

•     
Comprehensive Wellness
Support: Extends beyond financial benefits to include
healthcare consultations, preventive checkups, and medical guidance.

Tata AIA Premier SIP operates as a Unit Linked
Insurance Plan where premium payments serve two distinct purposes. A portion
provides life insurance coverage for beneficiaries, while the remainder enters
market-linked funds with exposure to equity and debt instruments. This dual
structure of the ULIP plan
allows investors to pursue wealth accumulation through market participation
while simultaneously ensuring financial security for their families.

 

The plan&#039;s approach to allocation charges
distinguishes it from conventional ULIPs. Many traditional products deduct
allocation fees from initial premiums, reducing the amount available for
investment during the early policy years. Tata AIA Premier SIP eliminates these
charges entirely, directing the full premium toward the chosen investment fund
from the outset. For investors with long-term horizons, this immediate capital
allocation can influence corpus growth significantly.

 

The Premium Waiver Benefit addresses
continuity concerns for systematic investors. When a policyholder is diagnosed
with a critical illness or disability, the provision waives future premiums
while keeping the policy active. This mechanism preserves the investment plan
during periods when premium payment may not be feasible, preventing policy
lapses that could otherwise disrupt long-term financial objectives.

 

The plan incorporates wellness components
alongside its financial structure. Policyholders gain access to
teleconsultations with medical professionals, opportunities for second medical
opinions on health matters, preventive health assessments, and reduced rates on
pharmaceuticals and diagnostic procedures. This integration reflects an
understanding that financial planning intersects with health management,
particularly over extended policy tenures.

 

The Smart Lady Benefit provides female
policyholders with an additional 0.5% in fund units on first-year premiums
under specified payment structures. This provision recognises the value of
encouraging women&#039;s participation in systematic wealth creation and addresses
gender considerations in financial planning.

 

This investment plan
gives the investor several withdrawal options (i.e., investment withdrawal
options) after completing the mandatory five-year lock-in period. The three
options available for withdrawals are designed to address specific financial
needs:

•     
The Systematic
Withdrawal Plan (SWP) enables periodic withdrawals either as a fixed amount or
as a predetermined percentage of the value of the investment. This provides a
supplemental income during your working years or after your working years.

•     
The Chosen-rate
Withdrawal Plan (CWP) enables investors to establish target growth rates. The
returns exceeding that threshold are available for withdrawal while the core
corpus continues compounding at the desired pace.

•     
Index-based Withdrawal
Plan (IWP) links withdrawal timing to market performance, releasing funds when
portfolio valuations surpass selected benchmark indices.

Fund switching provisions allow policyholders
to reallocate investments among available fund options in response to changing
market dynamics or evolving financial priorities. These switches occur without
tax implications or additional transaction charges, supporting dynamic
portfolio management across the policy tenure.

 

Current tax regulations provide deductions on
premium payments and tax exemptions on maturity proceeds, subject to prevailing
statutory conditions. This tax treatment enhances the plan&#039;s efficiency for
long-term wealth accumulation strategies.

 

Eligibility extends to individuals aged 18
through 50 years, with policy terms available up to 50 years. This range
accommodates varie ]]></description>

<title>Reacting to PM Modi’s Appeal: The Financial Necessity for Indians to Claim Unclaimed Assets By Shrikant Pandore, Co&amp;Founder &amp;amp; CEO, Clearclaim</title>

<description><![CDATA[  Pune (Maharashtra) [India], January 2  : India is living
with a silent economic paradox, wealth that belongs to Indians, yet lies
unclaimed across institutions. The recent calls by the Hon’ble Prime Minister
Narendra Modi exhorting Indians to come forward and claim unclaimed bank
accounts, insurance dues, dividends, and investments have brought this
increasing concern into the national forefront yet again. Estimates suggest
that over ₹1 lakh crore is languishing unclaimed in the form of unclaimed
financial dues.

Unclaimed assets are not only due to negligence. In truth, they can be due to
life occurrences like moving, loss of hard copies of investments, failure to
inform about an address change, missed dematerialisation deadlines, or even
death of investors who did not plan for transfers. Over time, dividends go
unclaimed, stocks become dormant, and ultimately many investments end up being
transferred to statutory mechanisms like the Investor Education and Protection
Fund (IEPF), making it even more difficult for them to be reclaimed by rightful
holders or legitimate heirs.

The recent effort of the government, which includes awareness programs where
they encourage citizens to check government sites and use official search
platforms and attend facilitation camps, is praiseworthy in itself. But what
lends strength to this effort is the dissemination of an important fact: this
money belongs to citizens, and they have the right to claim it back, subject to
verification and documentation; but the challenge of implementation continues
to remain daunting for the average citizen. The procedure for unclaimed shares,
dividends, or insurance claims takes months, if not years, to accomplish for
most people.This is exactly where claim support-either through professional
assistance-becomes important.

We see, at Clearclaim, how families discover lost investments in the lakhs or
even crores that they had made several years ago. This could easily be due to
some documents lying within a cupboard, or due to some dividends that had not
been encashed, or some insurance policy that the family members may not have
been aware of. But the fact is, most people give up on the search along the
way.Our aim is to simplify a complex, document-heavy process. We help clients
end-to-end with recovery of old shares and unclaimed dividends, demat

The Prime Minister&#039;s call is not just a reminder; it&#039;s a wake-up call. The
Indian financial system is undergoing rapid change, but some old investments
are at risk if they are not dealt with pro-actively. As nuclear families and
generations change, undocumented wealth can potentially be lost permanently.
Unclaimed assets are not just about money, they are about financial dignity and
the power of rightful ownership and security that passes down through the
generations. With the right knowledge and the right timing, Indians have the
potential to recover what already belongs to them. For more information please

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Pune (Maharashtra) [India], January 2</b>  : India is living with a silent economic paradox, wealth that belongs to Indians, yet lies unclaimed across institutions. The recent calls by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi exhorting Indians to come forward and claim unclaimed bank accounts, insurance dues, dividends, and investments have brought this increasing concern into the national forefront yet again. Estimates suggest that over ₹1 lakh crore is languishing unclaimed in the form of unclaimed financial dues.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>Unclaimed assets are not only due to negligence. In truth, they can be due to life occurrences like moving, loss of hard copies of investments, failure to inform about an address change, missed dematerialisation deadlines, or even death of investors who did not plan for transfers. Over time, dividends go unclaimed, stocks become dormant, and ultimately many investments end up being transferred to statutory mechanisms like the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF), making it even more difficult for them to be reclaimed by rightful holders or legitimate heirs.<br><br>The recent effort of the government, which includes awareness programs where they encourage citizens to check government sites and use official search platforms and attend facilitation camps, is praiseworthy in itself. But what lends strength to this effort is the dissemination of an important fact: this money belongs to citizens, and they have the right to claim it back, subject to verification and documentation; but the challenge of implementation continues to remain daunting for the average citizen. The procedure for unclaimed shares, dividends, or insurance claims takes months, if not years, to accomplish for most people.This is exactly where claim support-either through professional assistance-becomes important.<br><br>We see, at Clearclaim, how families discover lost investments in the lakhs or even crores that they had made several years ago. This could easily be due to some documents lying within a cupboard, or due to some dividends that had not been encashed, or some insurance policy that the family members may not have been aware of. But the fact is, most people give up on the search along the way.Our aim is to simplify a complex, document-heavy process. We help clients end-to-end with recovery of old shares and unclaimed dividends, demat conversion of physical shares, transmission of shares on the death of a shareowner, recovery of lost shares, and IEPF claims. And, most importantly, we do all this in a transparent, compliant, time-bound, and legal manner, making it absolutely clear to clients where their application stands at all times.<br><br>The Prime Minister's call is not just a reminder; it's a wake-up call. The Indian financial system is undergoing rapid change, but some old investments are at risk if they are not dealt with pro-actively. As nuclear families and generations change, undocumented wealth can potentially be lost permanently. Unclaimed assets are not just about money, they are about financial dignity and the power of rightful ownership and security that passes down through the generations.

<title>Government Schemes and the Common Citizen: How Welfare Changes Lives in Telangana</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/government-schemes-and-the-common-citizen-how-welfare-changes-lives-in-telangana</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/government-schemes-and-the-common-citizen-how-welfare-changes-lives-in-telangana</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Hyderabad : A government’s true progress is not measured by numbers alone, but
by how deeply its policies improve the everyday life of the people. 

 

In Telangana, over the last two years, the current
Telangana government has introduced thoughtfully designed schemes aimed at
transforming the lives of farmers, students, women and workers. The schemes run
by the Government restore dignity, stability and hope in the citizens.

 

Today, the impact of government intervention can be
seen not just in official reports, but in the stories of ordinary people whose
lives have changed through access to support systems, skill development and
welfare benefits. 

 

Economic empowerment is not just financial - it builds
confidence, decision-making power and respect within the household and
community. When a farmer feels secure, a student gets an opportunity, a
household receives relief and a woman gains financial independence, society
grows stronger.

 

Empowering Farmers with Stability and
Confidence: For decades, farmers faced
unpredictable income, rising cultivation costs and financial anxiety. With the
introduction of schemes like the Rythu Bharosa, farmers now receive
direct financial assistance and support for their farming inputs. This has
helped many families reduce dependency on loans and invest confidently in their
crops.

 

Here is an example shared by a farmer in Suryapet,
cultivating cotton shared that the support through Rythu Bharosa helped him
purchase seeds and fertilisers on time, giving him a chance to improve yield
instead of delaying sowing or seeking high-interest loans.

 

What once felt like surviving the season has now
become planning for growth.

 

Housing Schemes Bring Security and Dignity: For many families, owning a permanent home was once an impossible
dream. With Indiramma Housing being re-implemented and expanded, thousands of
low-income families are now able to live in safer, more dignified housing
structures.

 

A stable home does more than offer shelter, it gives
families a sense of identity, financial security and long-term emotional
stability.

 

Reducing Household Burden Through Gruha
Jyothi: Electricity bills are one of the
largest monthly expenses for working-class and lower-income families. Under the
Gruha Jyothi Scheme, providing up to 200 units of free electricity, thousands
of families now save money every month. The money saved can be used for
education, food, or healthcare.

 

This scheme transforms welfare into real financial
breathing space.

 

Youth Development and Skill-Based
Opportunities: One of the greatest strengths
of Telangana is its young population. Schemes like Yuva Vikasam and skill-development
programs are creating job-ready youth through free coaching, training centres,
scholarships and job-oriented programs.

 

A graduate from Khammam receiving training under a
digital automation program shared that he now feels more confident applying to
IT companies, a shift from uncertainty to ambition.

 

A Governance Model Focused on People

 

What makes Telangana’s approach impactful is not just
the introduction of schemes, but the intent behind them:


 Reduce
     financial stress
 Offer
     dignity, not dependency
 Create
     long-term opportunities
 Strengthen
     social equity


 

Government schemes are not charity, they are
investments in citizens.

 

When public policy aligns with people’s real needs,
progress becomes inclusive, measurable, and meaningful.

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], January 1: As India’s creator economy continues to evolve, influencer marketers and talent
managers are playing an increasingly important role in shaping authentic brand
and creator collaborations. Among them, Siddharth M Iyer, a Bengaluru based
independent influencer marketer and talent manager, is steadily emerging as a
trusted name in the influencer marketing and talent management space.

With over four years of experience in influencer marketing,
Siddharth began his journey in 2021, transitioning from the esports ecosystem
into influencer marketing and talent management. His early exposure to
performance driven digital communities helped him develop a strong
understanding of audience behaviour, content credibility, and long term brand
influence.

Over the years, Siddharth has worked with several reputed
influencer marketing agencies and has also operated independently, giving him a
well rounded perspective on both agency led execution and creator first
management. Today, he independently manages Karnataka’s top 2 tech and
infotainment influencers - @jd_techh and @one_type_rakshi_2.0, along with a
select group of creators across similar content categories.

Focus on sustainable brand and creator collaborations

For the past nine months, Siddharth has focused extensively
on building authentic and trust driven influencer campaigns, where audience
credibility and long term value take precedence over short term visibility. His
work involves closely guiding creators on content strategy, brand alignment,
negotiation, and long term digital positioning.

Rather than focusing solely on one off promotions, Siddharth
emphasises building sustainable partnerships that benefit brands, creators, and
audiences alike.

“Influencer marketing works best when collaborations feel
genuine and honest,” says Siddharth M Iyer.

Collaborations with leading Indian and global brands

Throughout his career, Siddharth has collaborated with a
range of well known brands across technology, telecom, retail, and consumer
sectors. His portfolio includes work with Samsung, Xiaomi, Lenskart, Lava,
Airtel, Flipkart, ASUS, Sangeetha Mobiles &amp; many more.

These collaborations span influencers, celebrities, and
athletes, reinforcing his ability to manage diverse talent while delivering
brand aligned digital campaigns.

Building a creator first talent ecosystem

Apart from client work, Siddharth has also built a strong personal
presence within the professional and creator communities. He currently has
11.9K plus followers on LinkedIn, where he regularly shares insights on
influencer marketing and creator management, and 10K plus followers on
Instagram, where he engages with creators and brands on industry trends.

Looking ahead, Siddharth aims to establish Karnataka’s
leading digital talent focused influencer marketing and talent management
agency. His long term vision is to act as a reliable bridge between brands
seeking authentic influence and creators looking to build sustainable digital
careers.

As India’s digital ecosystem continues to grow, professionals
like Siddharth are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the next phase of
influencer marketing, one driven by trust, relevance, and long term value.

<description><![CDATA[ Emperium
Group, Haryana’s one of the most trusted real
estate developers, has announced the launch of Phase 2 of Emperium Resortico,
following the remarkable response to Phase 1, where 500+ units were sold out in
record time. With a total planned capacity of 700+ plots and villas, Phase 2
introduces 150+ plots and a limited inventory of villas, already witnessing
strong demand from homebuyers seeking resort style living in the heart of
YamunaNagar.

Designed to redefine residential living, Emperium Resortico offers a
rare blend of luxury, sustainability, and thoughtfully curated amenities that
cater to all age groups. Known as a theme based residential development, the
project brings the concept of “Come Home to Resort Style Living” to life,
backed by over 30+ premium amenities, including the signature Club 360, curated
mini theatre, indoor multi-sports center, gymnasium, swimming pool, water
fountain, parks &amp; more. 

The project’s
exceptional design and an exclusive lifestyle have earned it the prestigious
“Theme-Based Residential Project of the Year” award by The Times of India
(2025), further strengthening its position as one of the most exclusive
residential developments in YamunaNagar. 

Phase
2 of Emperium Resortico is being offered at a compelling price, making
it an attractive opportunity for both end users and investors. With immediate
possession available and easy financing &amp; payment options, the project has
already begun to sell out rapidly, creating a strong sense of urgency &amp;
excitement among prospective buyers. 

Speaking on the success of the project, Ravi
Saund, Founder, Emperium Group, said: “The response to Emperium Resortico
reinforces our belief that today’s homebuyers are looking beyond just homes,
they seek meaningful communities and lifestyle experiences. For us, luxury is
not excess, it is thoughtful design, sustainability, and trust delivered
consistently. True success lies in the communities we shape and the legacy we
leave behind.”

Founded
in 2017, Emperium Group has steadily scaled its presence across YamunaNagar,
Panipat, and Gurugram, earning a reputation for integrity, innovation, and
execution excellence. Recognised as one of the Most Trusted Brands in Haryana
of 2025 by Dainik Jagran, Emperium stands firmly by its promise of 100%
on time delivery, a rare benchmark in the real estate sector. 

The
group’s philosophy “Building Values” is deeply embedded in every project
it develops. Over the years, Emperium has delivered 14+ landmark projects and
is today trusted by over 6,000 people who proudly call an Emperium development
their home. 

With limited inventory remaining in Phase 2
and demand accelerating, Emperium Resortico is fast emerging as one of
the most sought after residential destinations in YamunaNagar.

<description><![CDATA[ Tier
II Cities Show Fastest Rise in Digital Credit Usage, Signals Moneyview Research

Bengaluru,
31st December, 2025 : Moneyview, a leading
digital lending platform, has released insights from its recent survey on
India’s financial behaviour, capturing a decisive shift in financial behaviour
across 700+ districts. Indians in 2025 showed renewed borrowing confidence,
using credit not just for essentials but increasingly to upgrade lifestyles,
invest in mobility, improve homes, pursue education and mark family milestones.
This shift mirrors wider industry observations indicating that India’s
financial ecosystem is entering a phase where credit is viewed as a strategic
enabler of progress rather than emergency support.

Moneyview’s
data reveals that India’s emerging cities such as Coimbatore, Indore,
Bhubaneswar, Mysuru, Jaipur and Nagpur recorded the strongest surge in credit demand,
reflecting rising smartphone-led adoption and greater trust in digital
financial products. While healthcare and household needs remained consistent
borrowing triggers, progress-led categories saw the fastest growth, signalling
a confident and aspirational borrower segment. Digital consumption patterns
also strengthened, with personal loan users actively spending on online
shopping, food delivery and fintech apps through the year.

Demand
surged most strongly across cities such as Coimbatore, Indore, Bhubaneswar,
Mysuru, Jaipur and Nagpur, signalling that non-metro markets are increasingly
exhibiting metro-level credit maturity. Decision-making patterns also varied by
gender: family continued to play a decisive role for women borrowers (27%),
while men (21%) were more inclined to seek inputs from friends, colleagues or
financial advisors before borrowing.

Digital-first
activity increased notably, with 55% of personal loan users spending
on online shopping, 52% on food ordering and 40% using
mobile banking apps, while AI-led journeys and mobile-first financial
behaviour became the norm across borrower cohorts.

Sharing
her thoughts on the insights, Sushma Abburi, Chief Business Officer, Moneyview,
said, “India’s consumption patterns in 2025
reflect a nation ready for its next leap. Emerging cities and digitally-native
users are shaping a confident, future-ready financial culture. Trust,
convenience and digital readiness are redefining how India borrows, spends and
plans. At Moneyview, we remain committed to building accessible and
user-friendly financial products that empower individuals, whether for everyday
expenses or long-term aspirations.”

As
digital adoption accelerates, Moneyview continues its commitment to
democratizing access to seamless, affordable financial products, deepening
financial inclusion and enabling India’s underserved and aspiring populations
to participate confidently in the country’s growth story.

<title>A Defining Recognition for Leadership Shaping Nature&amp;Led Luxury Living at NBR Group, Bengaluru</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/a-defining-recognition-for-leadership-shaping-nature-led-luxury-living-at-nbr-group-bengaluru</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/a-defining-recognition-for-leadership-shaping-nature-led-luxury-living-at-nbr-group-bengaluru</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ NBR Group marked a significant
milestone in its growth journey as Mr. N. Nagabushana Reddy, Founder, Chief
Executive Officer, and Managing Director, was honoured with the Visionary
Founder Award at the Outlook Business Spotlight Achievers Awards 2025.
The recognition celebrates leaders who are shaping the future of Indian
enterprise and modern urban living through consistent vision, responsible decision-making,
and long-term impact.

For Mr. Reddy, the award reflects a
leadership philosophy built steadily over time—one centred on disciplined
planning, sustainable value creation, and the thoughtful integration of nature
into urban residential development.

Under his leadership, NBR Group
has established a strong identity as a developer focused on premium living
spaces that balance comfort, aesthetics, and enduring value. Every project is
guided by a core belief that homes must offer more than shelter; they should
support well-being, foster connection, and create a sense of belonging.

This philosophy finds its most
refined expression in NBR Soul of the Seasons, the group’s signature
residential development located in Bengaluru’s IT corridor near Sarjapur Road–Gunjur.
The project embodies a nature-led approach to luxury living, positioning
biophilic design as a defining element rather than an afterthought.

NBR Soul of the Seasons stands as a
landmark example of biophilic living, where architecture and environment
coexist in harmony. Expansive green zones, open landscapes, and thoughtfully
designed homes create a setting in which nature becomes a central living
experience. The development reflects a leadership belief that luxury should be
defined not only by design and aesthetics, but also by how responsibly
communities are planned. It demonstrates how premium residences can remain
elegant while being environmentally sensitive, offering residents a calmer and
healthier way of life.

Residential demand in Bengaluru has
increasingly shifted towards nature-focused communities, particularly among
homebuyers seeking low-density developments that offer access to greenery while
remaining well connected to the city. Strategically located near the IT
corridor, NBR Soul of the Seasons provides seamless access to major employment
hubs, educational institutions, and social infrastructure, making it especially
relevant for discerning buyers who value both convenience and serenity.

Location strategy has remained a key
pillar of NBR Group’s development approach. Projects are carefully positioned
in growth corridors that offer long-term appreciation and strong connectivity.
This aligns closely with Mr. Reddy’s focus on building in areas that combine
future relevance with everyday livability. Proximity to Bengaluru’s IT corridor
continues to support both commuting efficiency and investment stability,
reinforcing the group’s long-term outlook.

Beyond design and location, NBR
Group has maintained a strong commitment to transparency, compliance, and
ethical development. Clear documentation, regulatory adherence, and open
communication form an integral part of the home-buying journey. These
principles reflect a leadership emphasis on credibility and accountability as
essential foundations for sustainable growth, strengthening customer trust in a
market where reliability remains a key differentiator.

The group’s focus on premium
residences for discerning customers extends to construction quality, materials,
and finishes. Each home is crafted to deliver durability, refined design, and
lasting appeal. At NBR Soul of the Seasons, attention to detail is evident
across planning, spatial layouts, and community amenities, ensuring that the
development continues to hold value well beyond possession.

East Bengaluru’s emergence as a
preferred residential destination further supports this vision. With ongoing
infrastructure development and a growing corporate presence, the region offers
a balanced mix of opportunity and livability. NBR Group’s developments in this
corridor align with the city’s future direction, bringing together
accessibility, nature, and thoughtful urban design.

Industry observers increasingly note
that real estate organisations shaped by sustainability-led thinking and
customer-centric planning are setting new benchmarks. The recognition at the Outlook
Business Spotlight Achievers Awards 2025 acknowledges the leadership-driven
approach that has guided NBR Group’s journey and informed developments such as
NBR Soul of the Seasons—where luxury is defined by space, environment, and
peace of mind.

The award also reflects the
collective contribution of the NBR Group team. From planning to execution,
teams across functions remain focused on quality, timelines, and customer
expectations, translating long-term vision into tangible outcomes on the
ground.

As NBR Group looks ahead, its
direction remains clear: to continue creating premium  ]]></description>

Manushya is gaining increasing recognition on Waves OTT as
viewers respond to its engaging mix of humour, emotion and culturally inspired
storytelling. The Hindi web series has begun to stand out for offering light
hearted entertainment that also carries meaningful reflections on human
behaviour. The series premiered at the 56th International Film Festival of
India (IFFI) adding to its glory.

<description><![CDATA[ Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 30: The Indian laundry and dry-cleaning industry is experiencing a gradual yet powerful transformation at the same time. Even though metro cities have always been the center of attention in discussions about organized laundry services, a new growth story is now taking place in Tier-II and Tier-III urban towns. The demand for professional laundry solutions is rising due to factors like higher disposable incomes, new lifestyles, and more awareness of hygiene—all these factors push the demand for laundry services beyond the big cities.Organised laundry brands are now quickly coming in to wash the clothes of the people living in the urban towns—previously, these towns were relying on traditional washermen or informal setups. These towns are experiencing a change in consumer expectations, where the main factors are convenience, fabric care, and timely service, in addition to affordability. With the increase in the number of working professionals, nuclear families, students, and small businesses, the demand for dependable laundry services has also grown significantly.As per the estimates of the industry, the organized laundry market in India is likely to witness a growth of more than 20% CAGR in the next few years, with non-metro areas playing a crucial role in this growth phase. Urbanization, time constraints in taking care of household chores, and the exposure to global service standards through digital platforms are some of the factors driving the adoption of organized laundries in smaller cities.Urban towns are becoming laundry hotspots due to their unique scenarioThe laundry shops can set up business in urban towns because there are several advantages associated with these locations. The land and operational costs are not as high as in the bigger cities; the competition is still quite limited, and customer loyalty is quite often a powerful factor in the long run by providing quality service over and over again. Besides, B2B demand is created by the local hotels, hostels, hospitals, salons, and small businesses that are shortly going to rely upon the laundry services more and more.Moreover, government policies that encourage the new start-ups and the giving of easier access to franchise models have meanwhile reduced the obstacles to entry. Thus, the laundry brands which have been organized are not only finding urban towns as viable but also very profitable.Washmart is one of the major players that has taken the advantage of the organised laundry growth in the urban citiesWashmart, India&#039;s leading franchise chain for laundry and dry-cleaning, is one of the companies that have gained steady grounds in this huge growth wave. It is present in hundreds of cities and towns and has been one of the main contributors to the professional, standardized laundry services coming to the previously underserved areas.Washmart&#039;s franchise-led model fits urban towns perfectly. It provides an opportunity to local entrepreneurs to start a modern laundry business with almost no risk, by giving them the necessary operational support, technology-driven processes, and the trust of an established brand. The support ranges from equipment selection and store setup to staff training and marketing—Washmart is there with end-to-end assistance—making it easy for the new business owners to make it and succeed.Besides, the Washmart&#039;s affordability focus, without compromising on quality is what mainly strengthens the brand&#039;s urban markets relevance. The company provides such services as steam ironing, shoe and bag cleaning, premium dry cleaning, and express laundry, which are not only keeping up with the changing consumer needs but also being offered at a price that is friendly to price-sensitive customers.A Landmark Growth Opportunity for EntrepreneursThe laundry business is an opportunity that is recession-resilient for entrepreneurs in the urban towns. The care of clothing is a necessity that recurs, and the organized players like Washmart are the ones who help turn this everyday need into a business that can be scaled. There is going to be a steady rise in demand because of the growing awareness of hygiene and the lifespan of fabrics.As the story of India&#039;s growth moves from the metro areas to the smaller towns and cities, the organized laundry sector will be one of the main factors that shape the local economies. The success of Washmart and similar brands demonstrates how structured business models can tap into the potential of emerging urban markets, and at the same time, it is a clear indication that the future of laundry in India is not just limited to the big cities anymore.Visit for more information:Website: https://washmart.in/Phone Number: 7217797548Email: hello@washmart.in ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
30th December 2025: The Association of Investment Bankers of
India (AIBI), the sole representative body of investment bankers, today,
unveiled the theme for its 14th Annual Convention. The theme for
2026 is ‘IPOs India – Gateway to Global Capital, Sustainable Growth, Viksit Bharat’.
Following the resounding success of its past editions that have grown into
becoming one of India&#039;s most influential capital-market forums, AIBI’s 14th
Annual Convention is set to happen on 15th January 2026 at Jio
Convention Centre BKC, Mumbai. Over the years, AIBI’s Annual Convention has
consistently convened top policymakers, market leaders, entrepreneurs and
global investors to shape the future of India’s primary markets, and this year
promises to be its most impactful edition yet.

The
2026 Convention will host an exceptional lineup of dignitaries and thought
leaders, including SEBI Chairman Shri Tuhin Kanta Pandey; Shri
Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD &amp; CEO, NSE; Shri Sundararaman Ramamurthy, MD &amp;
CEO, BSE along with senior SEBI officials, several marquee founders and
industry stalwarts from India’s most successful startup stories. 

The
convention’s theme, “IPOs India: Gateway to Global Capital, Sustainable
Growth, Viksit Bharat,” will be explored across multiple power-packed
sessions—from pre-IPO capital raising strategies, governance and transparency
frameworks, and regulatory perspectives to SME IPO growth, ethics in IPO
advertising, mutual fund participation, and transformative IPO reforms for
Viksit Bharat. These sessions aim to jointly reflect India’s maturing capital
markets, the growing sophistication of investors, and the increasing global
competitiveness of Indian enterprises seeking to tap public markets.

Elaborating
on the themes, Mr. Mahavir Lunawat, Chairman, AIBI and
Founder and Chairman Pantomath Group said, “This year’s theme reflects
India’s structural ascent as one of the world’s most dynamic primary markets.
With experts from regulators, institutional fund houses, and industries sharing
a common platform, the Convention becomes a powerful engine for actionable
ideas and forward-looking reforms. We are committed to fostering transparency,
investor confidence and growth-oriented policy frameworks that enable companies
to create long-term value while broadening participation in India’s public
markets.”

The
14th AIBI Annual Convention is expected to welcome over 1,000 attendees and
delegates, including leading private equity and venture capital investors,
entrepreneurs, investment bankers, regulators, fund managers and market
professionals, making it one of the largest and most influential gatherings for
India’s capital-market ecosystem.

<title>Rise of Retail Investors in Pre&amp;IPO &amp;amp; Unlisted Shares</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rise-of-retail-investors-in-pre-ipo-unlisted-shares</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rise-of-retail-investors-in-pre-ipo-unlisted-shares</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Retail investors today are increasingly
looking to enter companies before they list, driven by the opportunity to
secure better value and tap into fast-growing sectors backed by strong private funding.
The last three years showed steady growth in this space, but  2026 is emerging as a breakout year, with an
increasing number of retail investors looking to secure an early position
before companies make their stock-market debut.

This move is no longer limited to large
investors. Today, even small investors take part with low starting amounts,
guided by trusted platforms like Wealth Wisdom India (WWIPL) that simplify
early-stage equity investment for retail users.

What are Pre-IPO And Unlisted
Shares?

Pre-IPO shares are shares of a company
that plans to list on the stock exchange in the near future. These shares trade
in the unlisted market before the IPO opens to the public.

Unlisted shares are shares of companies
that are not listed on any stock exchange. Some may plan to list later, while
others may stay private for many years.

Retail investors usually buy these shares
through:

●     
Specialised online platforms

●     
SEBI-registered brokers and
investment firms

●     
Deal makers who arrange blocks of
shares from  employees or early investors



Because these shares do not trade on
exchanges, price discovery, liquidity, and exit depend on private deals. Many
retail users who want to buy unlisted shares follow above routes to enter the
market safely.

Why Retail Investors Are Moving Toward Pre-IPO and Unlisted
Shares?

Retail investors now want to enter
companies before listing because they see a chance to get better value. They
also follow high-growth sectors that attract strong private funding. A few
clear reasons drive this move:

Early Stage Entry Advantage: Retail investors prefer entering before listing because pre-IPO
valuations are usually more reasonable, allowing them to invest at a stage
where the company is still priced attractively. This is one of the rare markets
where a user can check the unlisted shares price list before taking a call,
which makes early-stage investing clearer for beginners.

Access through online platforms: Digital platforms now handle onboarding, KYC, and deal flow. Retail
users can check prices, place orders, and complete settlements without complex
steps.

Small ticket size to start: Retail investors can begin with small amounts. This helps new users
explore the unlisted space without taking large risks.

More companies staying private for
longer: Many well-known firms delay their IPO for
years. This gives retail users a wide range of private companies across
finance, consumer goods, defence, and healthcare.

Transparent price and company
information: Platforms share basic financials, past
rounds, shareholding, and current buy-sell quotes. Retail users rely on this
clarity to check a company before entering.

Growing private market activity: Private companies raise more money today before listing. Retail users
follow these rounds because valuations often rise during the private stage.

Better liquidity support than before: Earlier, finding buyers or sellers was difficult. Now, platforms help
match deals and handle demat transfers, which makes exits smoother.

Interest in fast-growing sectors: Sectors like fintech, consumer brands, defence, healthcare, and IT
show strong demand and expansion. Retail users try to enter these themes early.

How Fast is the pre-IPO / Unlisted
Shares Market growing in India?

The pre-IPO and unlisted market is
growing at a sharp pace in 2024 and 2025. These key data points show the rise:

●     
Retail participation in unlisted
shares is rising fast, as the Economic Times reported, retail investors holding
unlisted shares of the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) increased from
33,896 in March 2025 to 146,208 in June 2025, which is almost a fourfold rise
in 3 months.

●     
More than ₹1.1 lakh new retail
investors picked up NSE unlisted shares for the first time during these three
months, showing strong demand.

●     
Retail investor interest in IPO
kept rising in 2024–25, as per the NDTV profit reports. The average number of
retail applications submitted for IPO subscriptions increased to 21.33 lakh, up
from 13.15 lakh in the previous year. Despite this growth, retail investors
received only ₹40,471 crore worth of allotments, which is about 25% of the
total IPO funds raised, according to PRIME Database.

●     
The choice of unlisted companies
has expanded. Retail investors can now access shares from fintechs, consumer-tech
firms, NBFCs, and large institutions. This wider basket pushes higher trading
activity in the unlisted space.

Along with this, the size of the active
retail base also grew fast. Industry reports show that the unlisted market grew
around 25% to 30% year-on-year. Active retail investors touc ]]></description>

Retail investors can now access shares from fintechs, consumer-tech firms, NBFCs, and large institutions. This wider basket pushes higher trading activity in the unlisted space.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Along with this, the size of the active retail base also grew fast. Industry reports show that the unlisted market grew around 25% to 30% year-on-year. Active retail investors touched almost three to four lakh, compared to under one lakh just three years ago. Low entry amounts, better platforms, and higher awareness played a strong role in this growth.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Trusted platforms like Wealth Wisdom India also shaped this rise. WWIPL gives complete company data, transparent pricing, and the fastest settlements, which help retail users take safer early steps. It also helps you buy and sell unlisted shares online with a simple and guided process. This is one of the rare markets where a user can check the unlisted shares price list before taking a call, which makes early-stage investing clearer for beginners.</span></p>

<title>Wahatu Builds a Fair and Integrated Travel Ecosystem for India</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/wahatu-builds-a-fair-and-integrated-travel-ecosystem-for-india</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/wahatu-builds-a-fair-and-integrated-travel-ecosystem-for-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India’s
mobility and travel landscape has grown rapidly over the past decade, yet
challenges around pricing transparency, fragmented services, and inconsistent
user experience remain. Wahatu, a new entrant in the travel technology space,
is positioning itself to address these gaps through a platform built on
fairness, simplicity, and long-term sustainability.

Launched in
2025, Wahatu is an Indian mobility and travel company backed by its
parent organisation, Arsh Technosoft Pvt
Ltd . The platform brings together ride-hailing,
flight bookings, hotel reservations, and holiday planning into a single,
unified ecosystem designed for modern Indian travellers.

Rethinking Urban Mobility Through Predictable
Pricing

Wahatu’s entry
into the ride-hailing segment begins with its cab services in Delhi-NCR. The company adopts a pricing
philosophy centred on predictability and accuracy, moving away from aggressive
surge-based models. Customers are charged clear and fair fares, reducing
uncertainty during peak hours, adverse weather, or high-demand periods.

The service
operates 24 hours a day, supporting both intra-city travel and inter-city
routes. By ensuring consistent availability without inflated pricing, Wahatu
aims to restore confidence in everyday urban mobility.

Building a Sustainable Model for Drivers

Equally
central to the model is driver sustainability. Wahatu follows a low-commission
structure that allows drivers to retain a higher share of their earnings. This
approach not only improves driver income stability but also contributes to a
more reliable and service-driven rider experience.

 Gulshan Darad, Md and founder

From Daily Commutes to End-to-End Travel
Planning

Beyond
urban mobility, Wahatu is designed as a comprehensive travel platform. Users
can book flights, hotels, and curated holiday packages through a single
interface, eliminating the need to navigate multiple applications or service
providers.

The booking
process is intentionally streamlined. Users can search, compare, and confirm
travel arrangements with minimal steps, without compulsory account creation.
Holiday offerings include tailored packages that combine accommodation,
transportation, and experiences, catering to a wide range of travel
preferences.

Operational Discipline and Customer Trust

Wahatu
places strong emphasis on operational responsiveness. The platform provides
prompt customer support, designed to resolve issues efficiently rather than
through prolonged escalation cycles. This focus on service accountability
aligns with the company’s objective of building durable customer trust.

Safety and
reliability remain integral to the user experience, supported by features such
as real-time trip tracking, secure digital payments, and location sharing
capabilities.

Scaling with Intent, Not Aggression

Following
its initial launch in Delhi-NCR, Wahatu has outlined an expansion roadmap that
includes Bengaluru and Patna, with further rollouts planned across Hyderabad,
Pune, and Mumbai. The company’s long-term ambition is to establish a nationwide
presence, offering accessible and cost-efficient travel solutions across both
metropolitan and emerging urban markets.

Technology as the Foundation, Not the Headline

Wahatu is
supported by Arsh Technosoft Pvt Ltd., a technology-led company founded in
February 2025 by Gulshan Darad. Arsh Technosoft Pvt Ltd specialises in building scalable,
privacy-first digital products and provides end-to-end product development
support, from ideation to post-launch operations.

A Measured Approach in a Competitive Market

As
competition in India’s travel and mobility sector intensifies, Wahatu is taking
a measured approach, prioritising sustainable economics over rapid,
incentive-driven expansion. By aligning the interests of customers, drivers,
and the platform itself, Wahatu seeks to create a balanced ecosystem capable of
long-term relevance.

In a market
often characterised by price volatility and fragmented services, Wahatu’s model
reflects a broader shift toward transparency, integration, and operational
discipline qualities increasingly valued by India’s evolving travel economy.

<title>Gold Loan Eligibility Explained: How the Daily Gold Rate Decides Your Loan Value</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/gold-loan-eligibility-explained-how-the-daily-gold-rate-decides-your-loan-value</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/gold-loan-eligibility-explained-how-the-daily-gold-rate-decides-your-loan-value</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Urgent cash crunch hitting hard—medical
bills, wedding expenses, or business hiccups? Gold loans deliver fast relief by
turning your jewelry into liquid funds without selling it. Daily gold rates are the
game-changer, directly boosting your gold loan eligibility and loan
amount as prices climb.​

Why Gold Loans Trump Other Options Right
Now

In India&#039;s gold-loving culture, these secured
loans shine for their speed and simplicity—no CIBIL obsession or income proofs
needed. Your gold&#039;s weight, purity, and today&#039;s gold rate dictate
everything, with RBI capping loans at up to 90% of value. With 2025 prices
volatile amid global cues, timing your pledge could net you 10-20% more funds
effortlessly.​

Anyone 18+ (21-60 at Muthoot Finance),
Indian resident, salaried, farmer, trader, or businessman qualifies. NRIs too,
with extra docs. No credit history required—your collateral speaks volumes.
Muthoot Finance, India&#039;s top NBFC, processes lakhs daily, disbursing in hours.​

The Formula: Daily Rates Drive Your Loan
Power

Loan amount = (Gold weight in grams ×
Purity factor × Daily gold rate) × LTV ratio (75-90%). Purity: 24k=1.0,
22k=0.917, 18k=0.750—tested via acid or XRF machines. Market rates from
MCX/IBJA fluctuate daily, so a ₹100/gram spike on your 50g stash means ₹5,000
extra at 75% LTV.​

Real impact: At ₹7,000/g (24k), 20g
22k gold values at ₹1,28,780; loan up to ₹96,585. Rates hit ₹7,500/g? Jumps to
₹1,37,700 value, ₹1,03,275 loan—pure upside without more gold. Lenders like
Muthoot adjust instantly, making high-rate days prime pledging windows.​

Mastering the Gold Loan Calculator

Skip guesswork—use Muthoot&#039;s free gold loan
calculator online. Input
weight, purity, rate; get instant EMI, eligibility breakdowns. Two modes: Enter
gold details for max loan, or desired amount for required gold.​

Steps to Calculate:


 Weigh
     accurately: Digital scales; jewelry only (no stones, as they deduct).
 Verify
     purity: Lender&#039;s on-site test trumps home kits.
 Grab
     live rate: Muthoot site or apps show real-time 22k/24k prices.
 Factor
     LTV: 75% standard; up to 90% for high-purity.
 Simulate
     tenures: 7 days to 36 months; shorter = less interest (9-18% p.a.).
 Review
     fees: Nominal processing (0.25-1%), no prepay penalties at Muthoot.​


Benefits? Instant estimates prevent over-pledging,
compare lenders, plan repayments. Experiment tenures to fit your cash flow.​

Seamless Process and Minimal Documents

Walk-in or online: Pledge gold → Instant
valuation → KYC (Aadhaar/PAN, photo, address proof) → Sign terms → Funds in
account same day. No ITR/salary slips usually; repayment capacity via bank
statements if needed. Min ₹1,500, max ₹5 crore at Muthoot.​

Pro Tip: Clean jewelry
beforehand—maximizes weight count.

Power Tips to Maximize Eligibility


 Track
     rates daily: Pledge at peaks; apps alert spikes.
 Mix
     purities: Combine pieces for optimal LTV.
 Short
     tenure savvy: 3-12 months slashes interest; no prepay fees.
 Calculator
     first: Muthoot&#039;s tool preps you perfectly.
 Skip
     fakes/low-karat: Under 18k rejected outright.
 Delay
     repayment: Penalties kick in; auctions after 12 months (extensions
     available).
 Overlook
     fees: Service/valuation add 1-2%; compare total cost.​


Real-World Wins: Stories from Borrowers

Take Priya, 42, teacher facing ₹2 lakh home
repairs. 40g 22k at ₹7,300/g appraised ₹1,20,000+ value; 80% LTV got her ₹1
lakh instantly. 6-month tenure at 10% p.a., total interest ₹6,000—repaid via
salary, gold safe. Or farmer Raju: ₹3 lakh crop loan on 60g during rate surge,
business boomed.​

Another: NRI Anil pledged via
co-applicant0, got ₹5 lakh for investment, rates up 15% mid-tenure allowed
top-up without new gold.

Interest, Tenure, and Smart Repayment

Rates 9-18% p.a. (monthly 0.8-1.5%), lower
than personal loans (12-25%). Tenure: 7 days-3 years; match to needs—longer
spreads EMI but hikes total interest. Flexible: Part-prepay anytime, no
penalty. Use funds freely: Emergencies, education, vacations.​

Watchouts:


 Daily
     rate risks: Pledge early if falling.
 Storage/insurance:
     Minimal (~0.1%).
 Defaults:
     Penalty % on overdue; grace periods help.
 Regional
     perks: South branches often faster, better schemes.


Empower Your Finances Now

Daily gold rates hand you control—higher prices
mean bigger gold loan
eligibility without credit stress. You&#039;ve got the assets; tools like
Muthoot&#039;s gold loan calculator make it foolproof. Head to
muthootfinance.com/calculator, input your gold, or call 1800-313-1212 for
instant assessment. Pledge smart, repay easy, reclaim richer—your financial
edge awaits.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai :
Tata AIA Life Insurance&#039;s Premier SIP continues to gain attention from
investors looking for a balanced approach to wealth creation and protection. As
market volatility rises, ULIPs are becoming a favoured option. Individuals
seeking systematic investment discipline combined with insurance coverage can
explore Tata AIA Premier SIP. Along with protection, it assists goal-oriented
investing with its unique features.

Key Highlights of Tata AIA Premier SIP

●     
Zero Allocation Charges:
This plan has zero premium allocation charges, ensuring a larger share of your
premium is invested in your chosen fund option.

●     
Premium Waiver Benefit:
Ensures continuation even when premium payment becomes challenging due to
critical circumstances.

●     
Integrated Protection &amp; Growth:
Combines life insurance coverage with market-linked investment opportunities,
helping you secure your family’s future while building long-term wealth.

●     
Comprehensive Wellness Support:
Extends beyond financial benefits to include healthcare consultations,
preventive checkups, and medical guidance.

The product functions
as a Unit Linked Insurance Plan, where premium contributions are split between
insurance coverage and market-linked fund investments. This structure of the ULIP plan allows policyholders to participate in
equity and debt markets while maintaining life insurance protection. The
insurance component provides financial security for dependants, while the
investment portion works toward long-term wealth goals.

One aspect that
differentiates Tata AIA Premier SIP is its zero allocation charge policy.
Traditional ULIPs often deduct allocation charges from initial premiums, which
can impact early corpus growth. By eliminating this charge, the plan ensures
that larger share of your premium amount is invested immediately in the
selected fund.

The Premium Waiver
Benefit addresses a practical concern for systematic investors. Should the
policyholder face critical illness or disability, future premiums are waived
while the policy continues. This feature helps maintain investment continuity
during difficult times, preventing lapses that could derail long-term financial
planning.

Beyond financial
protection, the plan includes wellness features that policyholders can utilise.
These range from doctor teleconsultations and medical second opinions to
discounted health checkups and pharmacy benefits. The integration of health
services reflects a broader approach to financial planning that considers
overall well-being.

The Smart Lady Benefit
provides female policyholders with an additional 0.5% in fund units on their
first-year premium under specific payment options. This initiative recognises
the importance of encouraging women&#039;s participation in systematic investment
and wealth-building activities.

Flexibility becomes
relevant after the mandatory five-year lock-in period. This investment plan offers three
withdrawal mechanisms to suit different financial situations:

●       
Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) enables
regular withdrawals of a predetermined amount or percentage, useful for
creating supplementary income streams.

●       
Chosen-rate Withdrawal Plan (CWP) allows
investors to set a desired growth rate, with excess returns available for
withdrawal while maintaining target corpus growth.

●       
Index-based Withdrawal Plan (IWP) ties
withdrawals to market performance, releasing funds when the portfolio value
exceeds benchmark indices.

Fund-switching facility
gives policyholders the ability to reallocate between available investment
options based on changing market conditions or revised financial objectives.
This can be done without incurring tax implications or any additional charges,
allowing for dynamic portfolio management.

The plan&#039;s tax
treatment under current regulations includes deductions on premium payments and
tax-free maturity benefits, subject to applicable conditions. This tax
efficiency adds to the product&#039;s appeal for long-term wealth accumulation
strategies.

Eligibility spans
individuals aged 18 to 50 years, with policy terms extending up to 50 years.
This range accommodates various life stages, from young professionals starting
their investment journey to mid-career individuals consolidating their
retirement planning.

Optional riders such as
Terminal Illness with Term Booster, Accidental Death Benefit, and Accidental
Total and Permanent Disability coverage can be added for enhanced protection.
These riders address specific risk scenarios that policyholders may want to
safeguard against.

The product appears to
resonate with working professionals who prefer systematic investment
approaches. The combination of disciplined premium payment, market
participation, and insurance coverage aligns with the planning preferences of
individuals seeking to build financial resilience over exte ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Victorian
Institute of Technology (VIT) is a leading Australian provider of higher
education and vocational training, recognised for its strong academic
standards, industry partnerships and student-centred support. 

VIT
was established with a clear
mission to deliver quality education that meets the
demands of today’s global workforce. VIT seamlessly blends theoretical
knowledge with practical skills to ensure graduates are well-prepared for the
challenges and opportunities of modern industries.

We
offer a wide range of programs across higher education and vocational streams.
From specialised degrees in information technology and business to targeted
vocational qualifications, students gain access to flexible study options,
modern facilities and a dynamic learning environment. Whether studying on
campus in Melbourne or Sydney, Adelaide or via blended learning, students
benefit from VIT’s commitment to academic excellence and industry relevance.

campuses are equipped with contemporary resources, including technology labs,
collaborative study spaces and an extensive digital library. These facilities
provide students the tools and atmosphere they need to thrive, while our

aligned with each program of study.

●     
Industry-driven capstone projects
that allow students to tackle real organisational problems.

●     
Collaborative research and in-house projects
where students and industry experts work side by side.

These
experiences go beyond paddling e a CV. Initiatives like these help students
develop confidence, sharpen problem-solving skills and build professional
networks that often lead to employment after graduation.

 Past projects have included cloud and backup
infrastructure design, compliance management systems, smart monitoring
solutions and data-capture applications using emerging technologies.

Employers
benefit as well from this exchange.  By
hosting VIT interns, organisations gain fresh ideas and motivated early-career
talent, while mentoring potential future employees and receiving valuable
support on current projects.

combination of academic study and workplace learning has given them a distinct
advantage in their careers.

<title>Life in Australia: A Guide for International Students</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/life-in-australia-a-guide-for-international-students</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Moving
to a new country is a journey filled with excitement and offers endless
opportunities. For many international students, Australia becomes more than a
study destination, — it becomes a second home. What follows is an insider&#039;s
perspective on life in Australia for overseas students, drawn from personal
experience. 

Culture,
Etiquette and Everyday Norms

Australia
is a multicultural society grounded in the values of respect, fairness, and
inclusiveness. Regardless of background, treating people with respect truly
matters  — simple gestures, such as
saying “Thank You” to staff in shops or restaurants make a difference.  Queuing etiquette is strong here: cutting in
line or pushing forward is frowned upon. 
On public transport, allow passengers to exit before you board, keep
conversations quiet, and avoid eating in some vehicles as directed.

Australians
are also generally open-minded about diversity in races, genders, sexual
orientations, and backgrounds. While culture shock is a normal part of
transitioning to a new environment, the inclusive ethos of many communities
helps ease the adjustment and makes it easier for yourself to feel part of the
local community. 

Academic
Life &amp; Student Experience

Australian
universities and educational institutions strive to create a vibrant academic
environment. Classrooms encourage active participation, critical thinking and
collaborative learning. Students are supported through resources such as
English language support, workshops on academic writing and study skills, and peer
mentoring.

Outside
the classroom, campus life is vibrant.  —
Clubs, societies, cultural festivals, and events allow students to engage
broadly with peers from all over the world. The balance between structured
learning and social experiences makes student life in Australia holistic and
fulfilling.

Working
While Studying

One
of the key attractions of studying in Australia is that student visa rules
often permit part-time work, subject to certain conditions.  This allows students to earn extra income while
gaining valuable work experience and becoming more engaged with Australian
society.

However,
it’s essential to understand your visa’s work conditions. Here at the most
important things to do before working in Australia; Register for a Tax File
Number (TFN), open an Australian Bank Account (CommBank, NAB, Westpac, and ANZ
are typical choices and have dedicated student accounts), and ensure your
Australian bank account is linked appropriately to avoid unexpected taxation.
Students can explore roles via job boards such as Indeed, SEEK and Workforce
Australia, campus services, or referrals from peers and networks.

Safety,
Wellbeing and Support Services

Australia
is committed to maintaining a safe, inclusive environment for all residents,
including international students. Universities and Colleges typically offer
robust support systems ranging from counselling services, health and wellness
programs, academic assistance and student advocacy.

To
protect personal safety, follow basic precautions: know the emergency number
(000), avoid walking alone late at night, if possible, lock doors, and inform
someone of your movements. In public settings, safeguard your belongings and
exercise awareness of surroundings.

Managing
Finances &amp; the cost of Living

International
students must demonstrate they have access to sufficient funds to support their
studies and living costs. Australia’s migration regulations stipulate
indicative amounts for living expenses: for example, you can estimate your
costs here: Living and education costs | Study Australia
(These figures serve as a guide and may change over time.)

Although
part-time work can help, students should not rely on employment alone to meet
all expenses. Planning a budget for accommodation, transport, food, personal
costs and course-related expenses is essential.

Visa,
Health Coverage &amp; Documentation

A
successful student visa application hinges on proper documentation and
compliance. Key requirements typically include:

●       
A valid passport

●       
Certificate of Enrolment (CoE) from the
Institution

●       
English language test results (IELTS, TOEFL,
PTE, CAE or OET)

●       
Evidence of sufficient funds

●       
Overseas Student Health Coverage
(OSHC)—mandatory for international students.

●       
Medical Insurance (travel, private or other) 

●       
If coming from a country with a Reciprocal
Health Care Agreement (RHCA), you are entitled to free emergency/urgent medical
services (specifics apply, please visit Medicare | myGov)

Medical
examinations may also be required, depending on your home country and duration
of stay. It’s important to make sure no document is expired, and all submitted
evidence is up to date.

Travel,
Arrival &amp; Packing

<description><![CDATA[ The
Victorian Institute of Technology (VIT)
offers students a rich, modern, and learner-oriented campus experience across
multiple locations in Australia. The “Explore our Campus” initiative presents
an inside portrait of VIT’s infrastructure, learning environment and community
values exhibiting the institute’s mission to deliver high-quality education in
a globally connected context. 

Campus
Locations &amp; Accessibility

VIT
operates in several key Australian cities, making its offerings accessible to a
diverse student population. The campuses include:

core philosophy is that education must adapt to the needs of the individual,

that students learn in different ways. Some thrive in interactive classrooms,
others through hands-on projects, and many need customised study plans that fit
their unique circumstances. This flexibility is central to helping all kinds of
learners succeed, both in their studies and in their personal growth. Such
personalisation is not simply rhetoric, it shapes how courses are designed and
structured, how support is distributed, and how students can engage with other
students and with academic staff. VIT positions itself as a partner in each
learner’s journey, rather than as a rigid institution.

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/jsw-mg-motor-india-announces-an-industry-first-extended-assured-buy-back-program-for-its-evs</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

●       
First car-brand in India to offer assured
buy-back from 3 to up to 5 years now 

●       
MG EV customers can get a guaranteed resale
value of 40-60% at the end of the specified periods 

●       
Unique, first-in-segment program that also
covers the MG EV commercial fleet

●       
Accelerated and facilitated exclusively by
Lockton India Insurance, the program is offered in partnership with Zuno
General Insurance

Gurugram,
December 29, 2025: JSW MG Motor India today announces the launch
of an industry-first initiative aimed at making EV ownership easier and
seamless for its customers. JSW MG Motor has become the country’s first
car-brand to offer an Assured Buy Back for EVs from the existing 3 years, to up
to 5 years now. The program bolsters the confidence of EV users by guaranteeing
a fixed resale value at the end of specified periods*. 

With
this new, unique program, MG EV owners can receive a guaranteed resale value
after 3, 4, or 5 years, depending on the plan they select.* The program builds
on MG Motor’s existing offering, which guarantees 60% buy-back value after 3
years of ownership. It operates independently of any loan or finance scheme.
First Time in country Commercial MG ZS EV owners are also eligible for resale
value benefits for vehicles up to 3 years old or with a mileage of up to INR
60,000 per annum. 

Speaking
about this innovative buyback program, Anurag Mehrotra, Managing Director,
JSW MG Motor India, said, “As a customer-centric brand, MG has always
introduced initiatives like B-a-a-S (Battery-as-a-service), lifetime warranty
on EV batteries that make EV ownership a delightful mobility experience. Resale
value has been a key consideration for many customers who are considering
buying an EV.  With our industry-first MG
Value Promise Program (Assured Buyback), facilitated by Lockton India Insurance
Broking and Advisory Ltd in partnership with Zuno General Insurance, we want to
give MG EV owners complete peace of mind as we now offer a Assured resale value
where a customer has option to choose the tenure from 3 to 5 years. We believe
this initiative will play a key role in expanding India’s EV market by
eliminating a major concern for buyers and building stronger trust in electric
mobility.” 



The
program brings several key advantages for customers. It is India’s
first-of-its-kind program in the mass EV segment and is not tied to any finance
or loan program. The program helps reduce depreciation risk and makes upgrading
to a newer MG model much easier, allowing them to decide whether they choose to
retain, return, or upgrade to a new MG vehicle. Customers will have the option
to retain, surrender, or exchange their vehicle at the end of the selected
tenure. By reducing depreciation concerns, the program is designed to boost
buyer trust and accelerate EV adoption across India. It also offers greater
financial predictability, convenience, and long-term peace of mind. 

Shanai
Ghosh, MD &amp; CEO, Zuno General Insurance, said, “As
a digital insurer, this partnership strengthens our vision of building a
strong, future-ready EV insurance portfolio. Electric mobility is reshaping how
India moves, and we’re excited to support that shift with solutions that stay
true to Zuno’s promise of easy, friendly, and transparent. Our collaboration
with JSW MG Motor India reinforces our commitment to making EV ownership
simpler and more secure for customers.” Zuno General Insurance, the program’s
insurance partner, is a new age insurer committed to creating digital-first
protection that simplifies long-term EV ownership. 

Commenting
on the partnership, Dr. Sandeep Dadia, CEO &amp; Country Head, Lockton
India, said, “As EV adoption accelerates, customers increasingly seek
clarity and confidence around long-term ownership.  MG EVs are known for its true-to-range
offerings with highest resale value and through our participation in
MG’s extended Assured Buy Back Program, we’ve focused on shaping a solution
that provides predictable value in a simple and transparent way. Initiatives
like this empower customers to plan their EV journey with greater certainty and
strengthen overall trust in India’s rapidly evolving electric mobility ecosystem.

With
India’s EV landscape set for steady expansion supported by evolving
infrastructure, ongoing technological improvements, and increasing consumer
awareness, programs like this mark an important step forward. Offering greater
assurance and flexibility, such buy-back solutions can play a meaningful role
in strengthening trust, reducing adoption barriers, and supporting the broader
transition toward a more sustainable and future-ready mobility ecosystem.”

The
Assured Buy Back Program has been accelerated and facilitated exclusively by

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Gurugram, December 29, 2025:</span></b><span lang="EN"> JSW MG Motor India today announces the launch of an industry-first initiative aimed at making EV ownership easier and seamless for its customers. JSW MG Motor has become the country’s first car-brand to offer an Assured Buy Back for EVs from the existing 3 years, to up to 5 years now. The program bolsters the confidence of EV users by guaranteeing a fixed resale value at the end of specified periods*. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">With this new, unique program, MG EV owners can receive a guaranteed resale value after 3, 4, or 5 years, depending on the plan they select.* The program builds on MG Motor’s existing offering, which guarantees 60% buy-back value after 3 years of ownership. It operates independently of any loan or finance scheme. First Time in country Commercial MG ZS EV owners are also eligible for resale value benefits for vehicles up to 3 years old or with a mileage of up to INR 60,000 per annum. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Speaking about this innovative buyback program, <b>Anurag Mehrotra, Managing Director, JSW MG Motor India, said,</b> “As a customer-centric brand, MG has always introduced initiatives like B-a-a-S (Battery-as-a-service), lifetime warranty on EV batteries that make EV ownership a delightful mobility experience. Resale value has been a key consideration for many customers who are considering buying an EV.<span>  </span>With our industry-first MG Value Promise Program (Assured Buyback), facilitated by Lockton India Insurance Broking and Advisory Ltd in partnership with Zuno General Insurance, we want to give MG EV owners complete peace of mind as we now offer a Assured resale value where a customer has option to choose the tenure from 3 to 5 years. We believe this initiative will play a key role in expanding India’s EV market by eliminating a major concern for buyers and building stronger trust in electric mobility.” </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The program brings several key advantages for customers. It is India’s first-of-its-kind program in the mass EV segment and is not tied to any finance or loan program. The program helps reduce depreciation risk and makes upgrading to a newer MG model much easier, allowing them to decide whether they choose to retain, return, or upgrade to a new MG vehicle. Customers will have the option to retain, surrender, or exchange their vehicle at the end of the selected tenure. By reducing depreciation concerns, the program is designed to boost buyer trust and accelerate EV adoption across India. It also offers greater financial predictability, convenience, and long-term peace of mind. </span></p>
<p></p>

Our collaboration with JSW MG Motor India reinforces our commitment to making EV ownership simpler and more secure for customers.” Zuno General Insurance, the program’s insurance partner, is a new age insurer committed to creating digital-first protection that simplifies long-term EV ownership. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Commenting on the partnership, <b>Dr. Sandeep Dadia, CEO &amp; Country Head, Lockton India, said</b>, “As EV adoption accelerates, customers increasingly seek clarity and confidence around long-term ownership.<span>  </span>MG EVs are known for its true-to-range offerings with highest resale value<u> </u>and through our participation in MG’s extended Assured Buy Back Program, we’ve focused on shaping a solution that provides predictable value in a simple and transparent way.

<title>Innefu Labs Strengthens Smart Policing with AI&amp;Powered Predictive Policing Platform Prophecy Alethia</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Modern law enforcement operates in an environment of
unprecedented data volume and complexity. Emergency calls, case records,
forensic inputs, surveillance feeds, and open-source information continue to
grow exponentially, often across disconnected systems and jurisdictions. While
data availability has increased, the ability to transform this information into
timely, actionable intelligence remains a persistent challenge.

 

Traditional policing systems are largely reactive
since investigations often rely on manual correlation of fragmented records,
making it difficult to identify hidden patterns, anticipate emerging risks, or
optimise force deployment proactively. 

 

As cities expand and incidents becomes more mobile and
networked, the need for intelligence-led, predictive policing has never been
more critical.

 

The Shift Toward Predictive and Intelligence-led
Policing

 

Law enforcement agencies today require platforms that
go beyond record-keeping or alert generation. What is needed is a unified
intelligence layer, one that can fuse multi-source data, reveal patterns
invisible to manual analysis, and support faster, more informed
decision-making.

 

Recognising this shift, Innefu Labs developed Prophecy
Alethia, AI-powered
predictive policing platform designed to strengthen operational efficiency,
situational awareness, and proactive misdeed prevention for police and law
enforcement agencies.

 

Prophecy Alethia enables police forces to move from
reactive response to predictive, intelligence-led operations by correlating
data across multiple sources, jurisdictions, and formats.

 

How Prophecy Alethia Works

 

Prophecy Alethia is built as a comprehensive intelligence fusion and
analytics platform for law enforcement. It integrates seamlessly with
existing policing ecosystems, including case management systems, emergency
response data, forensic records, and open-source intelligence.

 

At its core, Alethia focuses on data fusion,
pattern recognition, and predictive analytics, helping officers and
analysts identify emerging risks and hidden connections without relying on
manual cross-referencing.

 

Key Capabilities of Prophecy Alethia

 


 Intelligent
     Data Fusion: Correlates structured and
     unstructured data from multiple law enforcement sources to create unified
     intelligence views.
 Predictive
     Analytics Engine: Identifies emerging
     patterns, high-risk zones, and temporal trends to support proactive
     policing and resource planning.
 Network
     Link Analysis &amp; Entity Profiling: Reveals
     hidden relationships between individuals, events, and activities across
     cases and datasets.
 Geospatial
     Intelligence: Visualises incident data,
     complaint density, and location-based trends through dynamic heatmaps and
     geo-fenced analysis.
 Timeline
     Analysis: Maps events chronologically to
     identify repeat behaviours, escalation patterns, and critical time
     windows.
 Digital
     Forensics &amp; Communication Analysis Integration: Supports analysis of telecom records, device forensics, and
     financial data for comprehensive investigative insights.
 AI-Powered
     Data Insights: Enables natural language
     interaction with case data, allowing faster intelligence summarisation and
     insight generation.


 

Together, these capabilities provide law enforcement
agencies with a single, coherent intelligence picture, supporting
smarter decision-making at both operational and strategic levels.

 

Success Case Snapshot: Predictive Policing in
Action

 

In a recent real-world deployment, Prophecy Alethia
enabled law enforcement to uncover a previously unseen pattern by correlating
emergency call data, complaint records, and location intelligence across
multiple jurisdictions.

 

What initially appeared as routine, disconnected
incidents began to form a clear pattern once analysed through Alethia’s
predictive and geospatial analytics. The platform surfaced high-risk zones and
time windows that were not evident through manual review.

 

Based on these insights, police were able to plan
focused, intelligence-led interventions and optimise patrol deployment in
vulnerable areas. The outcome was a measurable reduction in repeat incidents
and significantly improved situational awareness, demonstrating how predictive
intelligence can directly support public safety outcomes.

 

From Reaction to Readiness

 

Beyond individual cases, Prophecy Alethia helps law
enforcement agencies institutionalise predictive policing. By continuously
learning from incoming data, the platform supports:


 Smarter
     monitoring of high-risk zones
 Optimised
     force deployment based on predicted demand
 Faster
     investigations through automated correlation
 Improved
     coordination across districts and units

This feature provides breathing room during difficult periods without
compromising family protection, helping young professionals navigate work
switches or unexpected expenses.

Understanding
that financial emergencies don&#039;t wait for claim
settlements, Tata AIA Sampoorna Raksha Promise offers an Instant Payout of up
to ₹3 lakhs within one working day of claim registration for policies with a
sum assured of ₹1 crore or more, after 3 policy years. This accelerated benefit
provides families with immediate financial support to manage urgent expenses
during the most critical times.

The plan&#039;s
Payor Accelerator Benefit further strengthens protection by paying out 50% of
the base sum assured upon diagnosis of a terminal illness. The exact features
depend on the chosen plan benefits option. Future premiums are automatically
waived, allowing the policy to remain in effect without adding financial
pressure during an already challenging time. This ensures that the family&#039;s
protection remains intact when they need it most.

For those
seeking both protection and savings, the Life Promise Plus option offers a
compelling option. The variant returns 100% of the total premiums paid at
policy maturity if the life assured survives the term (excluding loading for
modal premiums and discount) towards the base benefit option and ‘Life Stage’
or ‘Top-up SA’. Families can secure comprehensive life cover while knowing
their premiums will be returned if no claim is made.

Tata AIA
Sampoorna Raksha Promise provides multiple coverage enhancement options to help
families enhance their protection as their financial responsibilities grow. The
Life Stage option allows policyholders to increase coverage without fresh
medical underwriting on major life events such as marriage, birth or adoption
of children, and home loan payments. The Top-Up SA option enables annual
increases of 5% to 20% of the base sum assured, ensuring protection keeps pace
with inflation levels.

Women
policyholders get a 15% lower premium rate on premiums, ensuring comprehensive
protection with more ease and at an affordable cost. This move underlines the
commitment towards advocating financial independence for women and thereby
taking the leading step towards securing their family&#039;s future.

The plan
offers flexibility in premium payment through Regular Pay, Limited Pay, and
Single Pay options. Policyholders can choose policy terms up to 82 years, with coverage
extending up to age 100 (for non-PoS). This flexibility allows individuals to
structure their term
insurance according to their current financial capacity and long-term
goals.

With a
combination of reliable protection, flexible premium options, instant claim
payouts, and value-added benefits, Tata AIA Sampoorna Raksha Promise provides
families with the financial security they need to face life&#039;s uncertainties
with confidence. For young professionals and families seeking dependable,
adaptable life insurance protection, this plan offers a comprehensive solution.

<title>Intel is Coming Together with iDream Education to Power &amp;apos;PadhAI Ka Future&amp;apos; Initiative</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Making
Laptops for Students Safer, &amp; Learning-Ready with iPrep Learning App

Gurgaon,
December 29th, 2025 : Intel is coming together with iDream Education
to advance the “PadhAI Ka Future” initiative, a national effort aimed at
ensuring that student laptops across India become safe, protected, and
purpose-built learning devices.
With device ownership among school-going children rising rapidly, parents
increasingly focus on hardware specifications such as processor, RAM, storage
while often overlooking a critical reality: a laptop is an open gateway to the
entire internet, and without safeguards, children face unfiltered access to
age-inappropriate content, online risks, and digital distractions.

The
collaboration rests on a simple but powerful principle:

“A
laptop becomes a true learning device only when it comes with trusted
educational resources.”

Through
“PadhAI Ka Future,” Intel and iDream Education aim to:

●       
Reduce risks arising from unguarded internet
access, social media, and digital distractions

●       
Provide seamless access to bilingual,
curriculum-aligned digital content all in one place

●       
Empower parents through integrated digital
safety and parental controls

As
an official learning partner to Intel, iDream Education
brings its iPrep Learning App to
the initiative, equipping Intel-powered student laptops
with certified educational content across classes and subjects, including

<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
Maharashtra: Pune’s real estate landscape is evolving rapidly, and at the
centre of this transformation stands Saheel Properties, a name that has
steadily earned recognition for thoughtful development and customer-focused
execution. With a vision rooted in quality, trust, and long-term value, Saheel
Properties has been shaping residential spaces that align with the aspirations
of modern homebuyers while contributing meaningfully to Pune’s urban growth
story.

Saheel Properties began its journey with a clear understanding
of Pune’s dynamic character. As the city expanded beyond its traditional
boundaries, new residential hubs emerged, driven by infrastructure growth,
employment opportunities, and lifestyle aspirations. Recognizing this shift
early, Saheel Properties positioned itself to develop homes in strategically
selected locations, ensuring accessibility, connectivity, and long term
appreciation for buyers. This foresight laid the foundation for its expanding
presence across Pune’s prime neighbourhoods.

The company’s growth has not been without challenges. Navigating
regulatory frameworks, maintaining construction quality amid rising costs, and
meeting evolving customer expectations required resilience and adaptability.
Saheel Properties responded by strengthening internal processes, collaborating
with experienced professionals, and adopting transparent practices. These
challenges refined the company’s approach and reinforced its commitment to
delivering projects that stand the test of time.

Over the years, Saheel Properties has achieved notable
milestones through consistent delivery and a strong focus on customer
satisfaction. Each completed project reflects careful planning, efficient
execution, and attention to detail. The company’s achievements are evident in
its growing portfolio and the trust it has earned among homebuyers who value
reliability and timely possession. These successes have enabled Saheel
Properties to steadily expand its footprint across Pune’s most sought-after
residential zones.

A defining aspect of Saheel Properties is its philosophy of
building homes, not just structures. The company believes that a home should
offer comfort, security, and a sense of belonging. This philosophy guides every
stage of development, from site selection and design to construction and
handover. By balancing functionality with aesthetics, Saheel Properties creates
living spaces that cater to both present needs and future aspirations.

Leadership plays a vital role in driving this vision forward.
The leadership team at Saheel Properties brings together industry experience,
market insight, and a strong ethical foundation. Their hands-on involvement
ensures that strategic decisions remain aligned with the company’s core values.
This leadership approach fosters a culture of accountability, innovation, and
continuous improvement across the organization.

Expansion remains a key focus for Saheel Properties. By
identifying high-potential micro markets and aligning projects with
infrastructure development, the company continues to strengthen its presence
across prime Pune locations. Each new development is planned to enhance
lifestyle value while supporting sustainable urban growth. This measured
expansion reflects a balance between ambition and responsibility.

Looking ahead, Saheel Properties has a clear vision for the next
three years. The company aims to broaden its project portfolio, adopt advanced
construction practices, and enhance customer engagement through greater
transparency and communication. By focusing on quality-driven growth, Saheel
Properties intends to reinforce its position as a trusted real estate developer
in Pune.

The larger vision of Saheel Properties extends beyond expansion.
The company aspires to contribute positively to Pune’s evolving skyline by
creating residential communities that promote well-being, connectivity, and
long-term value. This vision continues to guide its journey as it adapts to
changing market dynamics while staying rooted in its founding principles.

to shaping homes that reflect trust, quality, and thoughtful planning.

<title>Cardiologists Call for Science&amp;Led Reassessment of Saturated Fats and Palm Oil at IMA NATCON 2025</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Ahmedabad,
December 29, 2025 : At the 100th National Conference
of the Indian Medical Association (IMA NATCON 2025), cardiologists called
for a more evidence-based understanding of dietary fats and cardiovascular
health, emphasising that long-standing assumptions must be reviewed in light of
evolving scientific evidence. The centenary edition of IMA NATCON brought together
thousands of doctors, researchers, and healthcare leaders from across India,
reinforcing its role as a key platform for shaping clinical and public-health
perspectives. 

Two
expert-led sessions by Dr Varun Bansal and Dr Ketan Mehta provided clinical clarity
on topics often clouded by misinformation, examining the role of dietary
fats, palm oil and emerging cardiometabolic interventions through the lens
of clinical evidence and global research.



In
his presentation, “Atherosclerosis, Dietary Saturated Fats and Palm Oil: Are
They Really Connected?”, Dr Bansal challenged long-held assumptions
linking saturated fats directly to heart disease. Drawing from multi-country
studies, he highlighted that saturated fats are not nutritionally uniform and
that cardiovascular risk is influenced by overall dietary patterns, lifestyle
and total caloric intake. He noted that while certain fat substitutions may
lower cholesterol, they do not consistently reduce cardiovascular mortality,
and that comparisons with trans fats show favourable outcomes for palm oil. His
session aligned with WHO and ICMR–NIN guidelines that emphasise moderation,
diversity of oils and balanced intake.

“Nutrition
science cannot be reduced to simplistic labels. What matters is balance,
variety and informed choices, not fear-driven avoidance,” said Dr
Varun Bansal.

Complementing
this, Dr Mehta presented on “Palm Tocotrienols in Cardiometabolic Syndrome”,
focusing on the rising burden of diabetes, obesity, hypertension and
dyslipidaemia in India. He highlighted tocotrienols, a form of Vitamin E
present in red palm oil, citing evidence of their antioxidant,
anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective potential. Dr Mehta also pointed to the
strong safety profile of palm-derived tocotrienols, which hold GRAS status from
the US FDA, and stressed their role as a supportive, science-backed
intervention alongside lifestyle and clinical care.

“Cardiometabolic
syndrome is complex and multifactorial. The focus must be on integrating
well-researched nutritional components into patient-centric care,” Dr Ketan
Mehta noted.

The
sessions generated strong engagement from attending medical professionals, with
active discussion and questioning reflecting interest in reassessing long-held
dietary assumptions through current scientific evidence. The discussions
reinforced the importance of ongoing, science-led dialogue within the medical
community to support balanced, evidence-based dietary guidance for
cardiovascular and metabolic health. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ BANGALORE, INDIA : The
inaugural season of the Indian Softball League (ISCL) has officially drawn to a
close, marking a transformative era for softball cricket in India. Held from
December 1st to December 21st at the prestigious Kini Sports Arena in Bangalore,
Season 1 successfully blended national diversity, high-octane competition, and
professional sporting standards to create a landmark event in the Indian
sporting calendar.

A Nationwide Movement
of Talent

ISCL Season 1 was
defined by its massive scale and inclusivity. The tournament witnessed the
participation of 32 teams from every corner of the country, ranging from Jammu
to Kerala and reaching as far as the Andaman &amp; Nicobar and Lakshadweep
Islands. This expansive reach provided a prestigious platform for over 500
players, empowering emerging cricketers and establishing the ISCL not merely as
a league, but as a national movement for the growth of the sport.

To ensure the action
reached fans across the country, the league secured strong national visibility
through live coverage on DD Sports and digital streaming on the Waves OTT
platform. This extensive broadcast reach was instrumental in elevating the
stature and credibility of the league in its debut year.

The Road to Glory: A
Dramatic Championship Battle

The competitive
intensity of the league reached its zenith during the high-stakes final
clashes. In a standout semi-final encounter that echoed the pressure of the
championship, Punjab faced off against a formidable Uttar Pradesh side led by
former IPL player Kamran Khan.

After winning the toss
and electing to bat, Uttar Pradesh Blue posted a competitive total of 104/6 in
just 9 overs, driven by disciplined batting and fearless intent. Punjab’s
response was a masterclass in composure. Despite losing early wickets, the
chase culminated in a final-over thriller. It was Rakesh Tampar who emerged as
the hero, delivering a stunning match-winning cameo that guided Punjab to a
dramatic last-ball victory with a total of 108/6. This victory sealed Punjab’s
legacy as the first-ever Champions of ISCL Season 1.

Celebrating Individual
Excellence

While collective spirit
drove the teams, the league also served as a stage for remarkable individual
brilliance. Three standout performers were recognized for setting new benchmarks
in skill and consistency:

Man of the League –
Abdul Rehman (Punjab): The most influential player of the season, Rehman’s
all-round mastery with both bat and ball was the engine behind Punjab’s
success. His match awareness and ability to perform under extreme pressure
earned him the league’s highest individual honor.

Best Batsman of the
Tournament – Shatanu Das (Odisha): Showcasing sheer class and technical
soundness, Das anchored the Odisha innings with precision. His ability to
accelerate at will made him the most feared run-scorer of the season.

Best Bowler of the
Tournament – Manthan Ram (Rajasthan): Representing Rajasthan, Ram was the
season’s most lethal force with the ball. His spells were characterized by
accuracy and relentless pressure, consistently breaking crucial partnerships to
earn his title.

Visionary Leadership
and Future Outlook

The seamless execution
of the tournament was a testament to the visionary leadership of Founder &amp;
President Mr. Gagadhar Raju and his committed organizing committee. From the
world-class facilities at the Kini Sports Arena to the professional
distribution of prize money and accolades on the final day, the event was
managed with exceptional grandeur.

“ISCL Season 1 has laid
a powerful foundation for the future of softball cricket in India,” stated the
organizing committee. “By uniting talent from 32 regions and providing a
professional broadcast platform, we have ignited new aspirations for athletes
nationwide.”

As the curtains fall on
this historic inaugural season, the ISCL stands as a symbol of unity and
sporting excellence, paving the way for even larger and more impactful seasons
in the years to come. ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p>Cast: Prathamesh Parab, Ankita Lande, Prithvik Pratap, Ganesh Yadav </p>
<p> Director: Mohsin Khan , Producer: David Nadar </p>
<p>Duration: 2 Hours 5 Minutes , Language: Hindi Release </p>
<p>Date: 10 December 2025 , Platform: Ultra Play OTT </p>
<p>Rating: ★★★☆ (3.5) </p>
<p><strong>Mamta Child Factory</strong> is a bold yet tender social drama that brings the complex world of surrogacy to the screen with honesty, heart, and an unexpected dose of small-town charm. Writer–Director <strong>Mohsin Khan</strong> tackles the subject with empathy rather than preaching, allowing the film to breathe, entertain, and connect emotionally.</p>
<p>Set in a modest town in <strong>Maharashtra</strong>, the story follows <strong>Bhau (Prathamesh Parab)</strong> and <strong>Chochya (Prithvik Pratap)</strong>—two laid-back real-estate brokers whose carefree routines are disrupted when <strong>Dr. Amruta Deshmukh (Ankita Lande)</strong> arrives with a courageous dream: to launch a fertility centre in a community weighed down by stigma, fear, and traditional beliefs. Her progressive medical outlook challenges the town’s deep-rooted conservatism, triggering resistance, rumours, and moral panic—fueling a drama that remains deeply human at its core.</p>
<p>The film finds its emotional pulse in the lives of the <strong>village women</strong>, who carry silent battles between economic survival and social judgment. Khan portrays surrogacy not as a clinical transaction but as a journey of dignity, sacrifice, and hope. The narrative gains further momentum when <strong>MLA Sanjay Tatya Bhosale (Ganesh Yadav)</strong> quietly considers surrogacy for his own family, layering the plot with political pressure, personal conflict, secrecy, and vulnerability.</p>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU55zFcIIlZBgZUcgYa438-WjO7G3y9FUuroXB6wADVAyx8oWR5zFf7SIF1vg5g7qBwBDj6GuQbrGs8K3mrgJgennLWlMe1nLwF2JXkFp9REJT-nb2UtnEU_h0zIohA24OP6nPcee15iIGH6Mdp2VICHD0m-BksbICHpIVVHeYvGk0omaB2P8FQzvIwLs/s1600/Writer%E2%80%93Director%20Mohsin%20Khan1.webp" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU55zFcIIlZBgZUcgYa438-WjO7G3y9FUuroXB6wADVAyx8oWR5zFf7SIF1vg5g7qBwBDj6GuQbrGs8K3mrgJgennLWlMe1nLwF2JXkFp9REJT-nb2UtnEU_h0zIohA24OP6nPcee15iIGH6Mdp2VICHD0m-BksbICHpIVVHeYvGk0omaB2P8FQzvIwLs/w640-h360/Writer%E2%80%93Director%20Mohsin%20Khan1.webp" width="640"></a></div>
<p></p>
<h3>Performances</h3>
<p><strong>Prathamesh Parab</strong> leads the film with effortless humour and emotional authenticity, evolving beautifully as the story shifts gears. <strong>Ankita Lande</strong> delivers a remarkably grounded and mature performance as Dr. Amruta—strong, sensitive, and morally aware without ever feeling theatrical.<br><strong>Prithvik Pratap</strong> keeps the laughter natural with his impeccable comic timing, while <strong>Ganesh Yadav</strong> balances power and fragility with surprising nuance.<br>Supporting actors <strong>Sujata Mogal</strong> and <strong>Vijay Patwardhan</strong> enrich the film’s rural ecosystem, making the town feel lived-in and alive.</p>
<h3>Writing &amp; Direction</h3>
<p>Khan smartly anchors the first half in light-hearted, slice-of-life storytelling, letting humour and local colour flow organically. The second half turns more intense, exploring ethical and emotional crossroads effectively. While the climax leans slightly more toward family drama than the central theme of surrogacy, it still lands—mainly because the emotions never lose sincerity, and the dramatic escalation remains engaging rather than forced.</p>

<p>The official teaser of the upcoming short film Vishaad is now out, giving audiences a cryptic yet powerful glimpse into a story built on mystery, moral conflict, and emotional unrest. The one-minute visual opens with an inspector scanning his surroundings — his sharp, probing gaze hinting at a truth lurking beneath the surface.</p>
<div><br>The teaser takes a bold cinematic route, using reverse-motion sequences to blur the lines between memory and reality. One of the most compelling frames shows an obscured figure handing a child something to play with — an innocent moment layered with eerie ambiguity, intensified by its backward unfolding.<br><br>As tension peaks, the inspector knocks firmly on a door. Veteran actor Ashish Vidyarthi opens it — calm, reflective, and carrying a storm of unspoken thought. The teaser ends not with answers, but a trail of questions, doubts, and a lingering emotional cliffhanger.<br><br>Vishaad is produced by Nilaanjan Reeta Datta under the banner of Finchbill Motion Pictures Private Limited (Finchbill Motion Pictures Pvt. Ltd.). The film is co-directed by Navnita Sen and Nilaanjan Reeta Datta, with the screenplay crafted by Navnita Sen. The film’s contemplative depth is elevated by its soul-stirring music score, composed by Ashu Chakraborty, whose soundscape adds a poetic yet unsettling rhythm to the narrative.<br><br>The short film features a compelling ensemble led by Ashish Vidyarthi, alongside Rajeshwar and Ketaki Narayan, whose performances ground the film’s psychological and emotional core.<br><br>Sharing his experience with the film, actor Rajeshwar said “The moment I read the script of Vishaad, I was drawn to it. It felt intellectually stimulating. It was an honour working opposite Ashish Vidyarthi Ji, and a pleasure collaborating with a supportive co-star like Ketaki, along with a crew that includes mostly National Award winners.”<br><br>His words mirror the artistic ambition behind Vishaad — a film driven by thought-provoking storytelling and crafted by celebrated creative minds.<br><br>The film is set to premiere globally on the Pocket Films YouTube Channel,  on 16th January 2026.<br><br>With layered symbolism, slow-burn suspense, and emotional subtlety, Vishaad promises to be more than a short film — it aims to be a cinematic experience that lingers, stirring questions about innocence, intent, truth, and consequence.</div>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
December 26, 2025: Supermodel Milind Soman and fitness
enthusiast Ankita Konwar are popularly being recognised as the fitness couple
at the NDTV Who’s Next 2025 Awards for their sustained contribution to fitness
and preventive health awareness across generations. At the ceremony, Milind
Soman received the Fitness Icon of the Year Award, while Ankita Konwar
was conferred the Millennial Fitness Icon Award.

Speaking
on the recognition, Milind Soman said, “Fitness is not about extremes or
milestones, but about consistency and commitment to oneself. Initiatives like
Pinkathon were created to make fitness inclusive and to remind people,
especially women, that their health deserves priority. It is encouraging to see
this journey being acknowledged.”

Ankita
Konwar said, “This recognition reflects the growing awareness among millennials
about health and well-being. Through my work, my effort has been to encourage
women to show up for themselves, listen to their bodies, and embrace fitness as
a way of life.”

Milind
Soman has played a pivotal role in redefining how fitness is perceived in
India, advocating consistency, inclusivity, and long-term well-being over
short-term goals. He is the founder of Pinkathon, India’s biggest women’s run,
launched in 2012 to encourage women to prioritise fitness while creating
awareness around breast cancer and preventive health. Over the years, Pinkathon
has grown into a nationwide movement, reaching more than half a million women
across cities including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, and
Kolkata. The initiative has facilitated free breast screenings for thousands of
women and has raised over ₹1 crore towards the treatment of underprivileged
cancer patients, while continuing to bring first-time runners into the fitness
ecosystem through inclusive formats such as the Saree Run, Grandmothers’ Run,
and Babywearing Mothers’ Walk.

The
Fitness Icon of the Year Award recognises Milind Soman’s enduring
influence in making fitness accessible and relevant across age groups, and his
consistent efforts to link physical activity with awareness and self-care.

Ankita
Konwar, who received the Millennial Fitness Icon Award, has emerged as a
strong voice for mindful fitness and women’s health among younger audiences.
She is the founder of Invincible Women, an ultramarathon and health awareness
initiative launched in 2023, designed to encourage women to challenge both
visible and invisible barriers to prioritising their health. Invincible Women’s
Run is India’s first women-only ultramarathon, focusing on endurance-based
events including ultradistances of 50 km, 75 km, and 100 km, creating a
platform that emphasises physical resilience, mental strength, and long-term
wellness.

The
NDTV Who’s Next 2025 Awards celebrate individuals who are shaping contemporary
narratives through purpose-driven work and sustained impact. The recognition of
Milind Soman and Ankita Konwar underscores the growing emphasis on fitness,
preventive health, and community-led initiatives in India’s evolving wellness landscape. ]]></description>

At the ceremony, Milind Soman received the <i>Fitness Icon of the Year Award</i>, while Ankita Konwar was conferred the <i>Millennial Fitness Icon Award</i>.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Speaking on the recognition, Milind Soman said, “Fitness is not about extremes or milestones, but about consistency and commitment to oneself. Initiatives like Pinkathon were created to make fitness inclusive and to remind people, especially women, that their health deserves priority. It is encouraging to see this journey being acknowledged.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Ankita Konwar said, “This recognition reflects the growing awareness among millennials about health and well-being. Through my work, my effort has been to encourage women to show up for themselves, listen to their bodies, and embrace fitness as a way of life.”</span></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Milind Soman has played a pivotal role in redefining how fitness is perceived in India, advocating consistency, inclusivity, and long-term well-being over short-term goals. He is the founder of Pinkathon, India’s biggest women’s run, launched in 2012 to encourage women to prioritise fitness while creating awareness around breast cancer and preventive health. Over the years, Pinkathon has grown into a nationwide movement, reaching more than half a million women across cities including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kolkata. The initiative has facilitated free breast screenings for thousands of women and has raised over ₹1 crore towards the treatment of underprivileged cancer patients, while continuing to bring first-time runners into the fitness ecosystem through inclusive formats such as the Saree Run, Grandmothers’ Run, and Babywearing Mothers’ Walk.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The <i>Fitness Icon of the Year Award</i> recognises Milind Soman’s enduring influence in making fitness accessible and relevant across age groups, and his consistent efforts to link physical activity with awareness and self-care.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Ankita Konwar, who received the <i>Millennial Fitness Icon Award</i>, has emerged as a strong voice for mindful fitness and women’s health among younger audiences. She is the founder of Invincible Women, an ultramarathon and health awareness initiative launched in 2023, designed to encourage women to challenge both visible and invisible barriers to prioritising their health. Invincible Women’s Run is India’s first women-only ultramarathon, focusing on endurance-based events including ultradistances of 50 km, 75 km, and 100 km, creating a platform that emphasises physical resilience, mental strength, and long-term wellness.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The NDTV Who’s Next 2025 Awards celebrate individuals who are shaping contemporary narratives through purpose-driven work and sustained impact. The recognition of Milind Soman and Ankita Konwar underscores the growing emphasis on fitness, preventive health, and community-led initiatives in India’s evolving wellness landscape.</span></p>]]> </content:encoded>

<title>From Klishaa art to Bridal Trends: 21&amp;Year&amp;Old Restitches Her Journey Into a Rising Fashion Brand</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/from-klishaa-art-to-bridal-trends-21-year-old-restitches-her-journey-into-a-rising-fashion-brand</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/from-klishaa-art-to-bridal-trends-21-year-old-restitches-her-journey-into-a-rising-fashion-brand</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Today, many well-known film stars and popular
actors proudly wear Klishaa Art. People appreciate and celebrate it on social
media, and every design is not just fashion—it is an identity. Earlier this
year, Shalmi earned a special place among leading fashion creators… and this is
just the beginning.

But this journey was not easy.

There was no fashion school degree.

There were no big industry contacts.

Klishaa Art began when Shalmi was still in
college—dreaming big, and starting her journey from a small room in her home.

The dream was big… and her heart was even
bigger.

With creativity, constant hard work, and
consistency, Klishaa Art has grown into a brand that doesn’t just create
outfits—it gives confidence to the one who wears it.

 

For today’s young women, Shalmi shares a
powerful message—

When you have courage, you always find a way.

When a dream is true, success surely follows.

And when you wear Klishaa Art, you don’t just
wear a dress… you wear your own story.

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad, December 2025 : Tick
My Health has unveiled its latest offering, Dr. Aayu Green Triphala
Toothpaste, a natural oral care solution designed for individuals seeking a
safer, chemical- free and Ayurveda-powered alternative to conventional
toothpaste. Formulated under Strict Ayurveda principles and inspired by India’s
ancient wellness traditions, the product blends time- tested herbal wisdom with
modern oral hygiene needs.

The launch reflects a growing shift in
consumer behaviour, as people become increasingly conscious of the products
they use every day. Oral care products are applied twice daily, thus making the
quality, safety of ingredients really important. With this new toothpaste, Tick
My Health aims to offer a clean, responsible and effective oral care solution
that prioritises wellness without compromising performance.

A Toothpaste Created
for the New Health-Conscious Generation

Dr. Aayu Green Triphala Toothpaste is
developed with a strong commitment to purity and transparency. The formulation
contains no SLS, no parabens, no artificial colours, no abrasive chemicals, and
no artificial foaming agents. Instead, it offers a gentle yet effective
cleansing experience that supports healthy gums, strong teeth and long-lasting
freshness through natural means.

By eliminating harsh chemicals and replacing
them with carefully selected herbal ingredients, the toothpaste becomes
suitable for daily use by all age groups especially adults, seniors and
individuals with sensitive gums or recurring oral discomfort. The product
aligns with Tick My Health’s philosophy that true wellness begins with mindful
everyday choices.

The Growing Importance
of Natural Oral Care

Oral hygiene affects far more than just the
appearance of a smile. Poor oral care can lead to cavities, gum bleeding,
sensitivity, persistent bad breath and recurring infections, and may even
contribute to long-term health issues. Many commercial toothpastes rely on
artificial detergents and chemical foaming agents that can irritate gums and
disrupt the natural balance of the mouth over time.

Dr. Aayu Green Triphala Toothpaste positions
itself as a safer and more holistic alternative. It relies on plant-based
cleansing action rather than chemical abrasives, supports gum strength through
herbal extracts and helps maintain a healthier oral environment without
stripping away the mouth’s natural protective layer.

Ingredient Story: The
Heart of This Herbal Toothpaste

At the core of Dr. Aayu Green Triphala
Toothpaste is a carefully curated blend of five Ayurvedic ingredients, each
selected for its specific role in natural oral care.

Neem is
known for its powerful antibacterial properties that help fight harmful oral
bacteria, support gum health and reduce plaque buildup.

Triphala, a traditional Ayurvedic blend of three
fruits,[Haritaki, Bibhitak &amp; Amalki] strengthens gums, supports oral tissue
health and promotes overall mouth cleanliness.

Tulsi
acts as a natural protector, helping reduce oral infections, calm
inflammation and enhance gum resilience over time.

Laung (Clove) is traditionally used to relieve oral
discomfort, neutralise bacteria and support natural breath freshness.

Dalchini (Cinnamon) contributes anti-inflammatory and
antimicrobial benefits, supporting daily oral comfort while adding a mild,
natural freshness.

Together,
these ingredients work synergistically to cleanse the mouth gently, support gum
strength, reduce plaque formation and maintain lasting freshness—without
relying on chemicals, artificial foam or synthetic additives.

Benefits of Using Dr.
Aayu Green Triphala Toothpaste

With regular use, consumers may experience multiple
oral health benefits, including reduced gum sensitivity, relief from irritation
caused by synthetic toothpastes and support in minimising plaque buildup. The
toothpaste offers natural freshness without artificial flavours, promotes
stronger enamel over time and provides soothing comfort for inflamed or
sensitive gums. Its herbal formulation also helps reduce dependence on
foam-heavy detergents, encouraging a more balanced and gentle oral care
routine.

The product issuitable for all age groups
particularly individuals who frequently experience gum swelling, bleeding or
discomfort, thanks ]]></description>

<title>GHR Infra Enters South Hyderabad with their Boutique Villa Community TRIVANA</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Hyderabad, India
– [December 24, 2025]: GHR Infra has announced the launch of its new villa
community, GHR TRIVANA in South Hyderabad, placing its future residents at the intersection
of connectivity and tranquility. With low density at just 52 villas, calibrated
orientations for light and ventilation, targeting for IGBC Gold
pre-certification and a comprehensive amenity set that spans work, wellness and
family life, GHR TRIVANA presents a boutique alternative in South Hyderabad’s
villa segment. The community is fully registered with the Telangana Real Estate
Regulatory Authority (TG RERA Reg. No.: P02400009860). 

Spread across 5.61
verdant acres, GHR TRIVANA will comprise villas designed to maximize
cross-ventilation and daylight through thoughtful east- and west-facing
orientations. Four-bedroom homes measure 239 Sq yds, while five-bedroom
variants extend to 304 sq yds, giving owners generous floorplates for
multi-generational living or integrated work-from-home zones. At the heart of
the gated estate, a 15,000-plus-square-foot clubhouse will include a gym,
indoor games lounges, multipurpose halls, an aerobics/yoga hall, hobby and
table-tennis rooms, billiards, co-working space, a sun deck and barbeque
pavilions, alongside an adult pool and a dedicated kids’ pool.

Thoughtfully-planned
amenities and features that matter

The amenity
programme is designed around balance and everyday ease. In addition to the
clubhouse offerings, the outdoors features an Amphitheatre, lawns, pergola
seating, landscaped common spaces and neighbourhood parks. Active recreation
spans outdoor fitness stations, a half-basketball practice court, pickleball
courts and a cricket pitch, while children’s play areas in both EPDM and sand
surfacing support safe, age-appropriate activity. A supermarket and a
multi-utility/provisional space within the enclave add daily convenience,
reinforcing the development’s self-contained character.

Connectivity and
standards that complement healthy lifestyle 

Positioned in
Almasguda, Tukkuguda—an emerging growth node just off Exit 14 of the Nehru
Outer Ring Road— GHR TRIVANA enjoys rapid, signal-free access to Rajiv Gandhi
International Airport in roughly twenty minutes and sits within a 30-kilometre
radius of Hyderabad’s primary technology and financial districts. The
neighbourhood is also close to Hardware Park, Fab City and the upcoming Pharma
City industrial zone, all of which are catalysing residential demand in South Hyderabad.
Easy connectivity via the ORR further integrates the enclave with Hyderabad’s
wider arterial network.



Hyderabad&#039;s fourth
city, also termed as the Bharat Future City, is being planned in southern part
of Hyderabad, which is very close to TRIVANA. The fourth city’s strategic
location between the Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar highways offers excellent
connectivity and positions it as a major investment hub near the Rajiv Gandhi
International Airport.ana This region is intended to decongest Hyderabad while
driving future economic growth for Hyderabad and the Telangana state. 

Underscoring its
design ethos, GHR TRIVANA is targeting for IGBC Gold pre-certification.
Sustainability is expressed through mindful, eco-conscious planning and
landscape, with open, shaded seating areas and water features that turn
everyday movement through the site into moments of pause. The master plan
blends nature and architecture: “Where Nature, Luxury and Harmony Unite”—to
create a calm, neighbourhood-scale setting.

GHR TRIVANA’s
catchment keeps residents “close to everything yet far from the ordinary.”
Proximity landmarks include Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (8 km, ~13 min),
Nehru ORR Exit 14 (2 km, ~5 min), World Trade Centre, Shamshabad (8 km, ~10
min), along with key healthcare options such as Kondeti Super Speciality
Hospital (3.5 km, ~8 min) and Sri Chaitanya Hospital (3 km, ~7 min).

“Securing RERA
registration validates our pledge to deliver a residence, where design
sophistication and regulatory rigour move in tandem,” said Mr. Karteesh
Reddy M, CEO at GHR Infra. “GHR TRIVANA is aimed at families who seek the
openness of villa living, yet still want one-turn connectivity to schools,
healthcare and the airport. We have calibrated every square foot to nurture
well-being—from ample natural light to spaces that encourage neighbourly
interaction.”

“Market data
underscores our project’s timing. According to the latest NAREDCO–Knight Frank
sentiment index, the South Hyderabad leads all Indian regions in residential
confidence, buoyed by Hyderabad’s appetite for premium, low-density housing.
GHR TRIVANA’s boutique scale, coupled with its proximity to large employment
hubs, responds directly to this preference for spacious homes in transit-rich
locations,” opines Mr. V. Shyam Sunder Reddy, Managing Director at GHR
Infra.

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi: As Dusshera Ground, Panchkula transformed
into a living celebration of science, innovation, and national pride,
Expression 360 Services India Ltd. delivered the complete experience that made
India International Science Festival (IISF) 2025 feel immersive, effortless,
and unforgettable. Held from 6–9 December under the theme “Vigyan Se Samruddhi:
for Aatmanirbhar Bharat,” IISF 2025 brought together India’s scientific
community, institutions, policymakers, educators, industry leaders, young
researchers, and citizen audiences at true national scale—where India’s science
story wasn’t just told, it was experienced.

Expression
360 is proud to have conceptualised, curated, crafted, and implemented the
entire IISF 2025 event end-to-end—not as scattered deliverables, but as one
unified festival ecosystem engineered for pace, precision, and public impact.
From the first welcome moment to the final wrap, Expression 360 executed IISF
as a single integrated operation where every zone, experience, and movement
worked in sync. The ceremonial opening by Dr. Jitendra Singh set the tone, and
the festival unfolded through powerful interactions, immersive exhibit
ecosystems including Defence, Space &amp; Technology, and the unmatched energy
of students, delegates, and young scientists who kept the grounds charged with
momentum.

Built
at India-scale, IISF 2025 featured 40,000+ participants and 150+ technical and
thematic sessions, with a strong technical spine across priority domains such
as AI/AGI, quantum technologies, gene editing, bio-economy, new-age technology,
climate and Himalayan science, and space technologies—creating a platform where
frontier science could be discussed, demonstrated, and understood in ways that
connect with society. For Expression 360, delivering a festival of this complexity
meant building a backbone that remained intelligent, agile, and resilient—so
that technical programming, exhibitions, visitor experiences, and on-ground
storytelling remained frictionless, coherent, and consistently high-impact
across all four days.

At
the heart of this delivery was Expression 360’s capability to build the entire
festival area from scratch and run it like a living, breathing city for four
days. The team executed the complete on-ground and outreach mandate, including
registrations and attendee facilitation, design and fabrication of stages,
stalls, and experiential zones, catering and hospitality services, and
end-to-end event operations that kept the festival smooth at scale. Expression
360 also led the festival’s multi-channel visibility and outreach through
social media content and amplification, print production, outdoor campaigns,
radio integrations, and city branding, ensuring IISF was visible, navigable,
and high-impact both inside the venue and across Panchkula. The result was not
just a festival— but a full-scale public ecosystem where the visitor journey,
information flow, service delivery, and brand experience worked together
seamlessly.

A
defining pulse of IISF 2025 was its problem-solving spirit, with the festival
hosting a high-engagement S&amp;T Hackathon aligned to “Ideas for Viksit
Bharat,” enabling youth teams to ideate, build, and present practical solutions
rooted in science and technology. Expression 360 ensured that this spirit of
innovation was experienced not only on stages, but across the festival
journey—where participation, curiosity, and hands-on discovery became the core
of how audiences engaged with science.

Beyond
exhibits and sessions, IISF 2025 carried a celebratory cultural rhythm that
amplified public participation and kept the energy high into the evenings. As
part of the festival experience, audiences witnessed a vibrant cultural line-up
featuring three celebrated artists—Akriti Kakar, Jasbir Jassi, and Navraj
Hans—bringing music, community, and celebration into the IISF atmosphere and
adding a powerful public connect that complemented the festival’s scientific
spirit.

“Implementing IISF is not about building an event—it’s
about building belief at scale,” said Mohit Gupta, Founder &amp; Managing
Director, Expression 360 Services India Ltd. “IISF 2025 demanded excellence
across every layer—technical programming, public experience, operational
velocity, and execution depth. Our team delivered the festival end-to-end with
precision and purpose, ensuring that every zone, every interaction, and every
detail worked together to make India’s science story accessible, immersive, and
unforgettable.”

<description><![CDATA[ Delhi, 24 December 2025 :
Medtronic, a global leader in healthcare technology, today announced the launch
of its pioneering Mobile Surgi-skill Lab- a state-of-the-art platform designed
to equip healthcare professionals across India&#039;s underserved tier 2 cities with
critical competencies in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). This initiative
underscores Medtronic’s unwavering commitment to fostering clinical excellence
and advancing surgical care standards beyond metropolitan centers.

 

Medtronic Mobile Surgi-skill Lab represents a transformative
approach to medical education, bringing world-class training directly to
hospitals and clinics in cities where access to specialized surgical training
has historically been limited. Equipped with cutting-edge simulation technology
and hands-on learning modules, the surgical lab will serve as a Mobile center
of excellence, enabling surgeons and healthcare professionals to develop and
refine their minimally invasive surgical skills without disrupting their
clinical responsibilities.

&quot;This initiative embodies our vision of equitable
healthcare advancement across India,&quot; said Mandeep Singh Kumar, managing
director &amp; vice president, Medtronic India, &quot;By bringing surgical
training to the doorstep of medical colleges in tier 2,3 cities, we&#039;re creating
a far reaching influence that elevates surgical standards, improves
patient outcomes, and strengthens the entire healthcare ecosystem in
underserved regions.&quot;

 

Key Features of the Mobile Surgi-skill Lab:

The lab features state-of-the-art simulations equipped
with realistic training models, video-assisted surgical instruments, and
interactive learning platforms. The comprehensive curriculum covers fundamental
and advanced MIS techniques, offering specialized training tracks tailored to
the evolving needs of regional healthcare facilities. Each engagement includes
hands-on practice sessions, mentorship from expert faculty, and post-training
support to ensure sustained skill development.

 

Bridging the Skill Gap

 

Access to specialized surgical training has long
remained concentrated in metropolitan hubs, creating disparities in clinical
capabilities across regions. The Mobile Surgi-skill Lab directly addresses this
gap, ensuring that young surgeons and resident doctors in medical colleges in
tier 2,3 cities can access the same quality training as their counterparts in
larger centers. This democratization of medical education is expected to
significantly enhance surgical safety, reduce complication rates, and foster
adoption of minimally invasive techniques across regional healthcare systems.

 

Commitment to Clinical Excellence

 

&quot;We believe that skill excellence is not a
privilege—it&#039;s a necessity,&quot; added Mandeep Singh Kumar. &quot;This mobile
training initiative reflects our deep commitment to empowering every healthcare
professional, regardless of geographic location, with the knowledge and
practical experience needed to deliver exceptional patient care.&quot;

 

The organization has already secured partnerships with
leading healthcare institutions and regional medical associations to ensure the
Mobile Surgi-skill Lab reaches the communities that need it most. The initial
roadmap encompasses visits to 10 tier 2 cities over the next 12 months, with
expansion planned based on feedback and demand.

<title>Mumbai City &amp;amp; Suburban Collectors Hold Joint Meet with Real Estate Bodies to Streamline land administration and revenue related process</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, 24th December 2025 : In a significant step towards coordinated and reform-oriented land
administration, the District Collector, Mumbai City, Aanchal Goyal, and the
District Collector, Mumbai Suburban, Saurabh Katiyar, held a collective meeting
with a Joint Task Force comprising representatives of CREDAI-MCHI, NAREDCO, BDA
and PEATA, along with senior officials from both Collectorates. 

 

Setting the tone for the discussions, District
Collector, Mumbai City, Aanchal Goyal, stated that the issues raised by the
industry—particularly on royalty applicability, procedural timelines, and
duplication of surveys—are substantive and warrant systemic correction. She
noted that both Collectorates are committed to introducing clear, SOP-driven
mechanisms that simplify processes, reduce ambiguity, and ensure consistency
while maintaining statutory compliance. 

 

District Collector, Mumbai Suburban, Saurabh
Katiyar, emphasized that bringing both City and
Suburban Collectorates together in a single forum enables coordinated
governance and uniform decision-making. He confirmed that suggestions such as
unified physical surveys, streamlined amalgamation and subdivision procedures,
and improved transparency in land records would be examined through a
structured institutional mechanism to ensure practical and time-bound
implementation. 

 

The meeting marked one of the first such joint
engagements where multiple real estate associations deliberated collectively
with both Collectorates. The Collectors appreciated the unified and
solution-oriented representations made by the industry for the larger public
and economic good. 

 

Mr. Rushi Mehta, Secretary CREDAI MCHI and Mr. Manan Shah led the wide ranging discussions
which included the applicability of royalty on excavated soil, especially the
need to exclude royalty where material is not transported outside the project
site, as well as challenges relating to short validity periods, inaccuracies in
excavation quantity calculations, and approval delays. Both Collectors assured
that simplified and time-bound SOPs for royalty permissions would be introduced
to comprehensively address these concerns. 

 

Deliberations also focused on prolonged timelines for
amalgamation and subdivision proposals, with assurances that dedicated SOPs
would be framed to significantly curtail delays. Another major reform discussed
was the introduction of a single, unified physical survey usable for multiple purposes
such as NA permissions, demarcation, amalgamation/subdivision, and handover of
amenities, thereby avoiding duplication and repeated site visits. 

 

Commenting on behalf of the industry, Mr.
Sukhraj Nahar, President, CREDAI - MCHI said, “The issues raised
today—royalty applicability, procedural delays, duplication of surveys, and
approval timelines—are genuine and long-pending. The joint commitment of both
Collectorates to SOP-driven processes, unified surveys, and a steering
committee reflects a shared intent to deliver practical, time-bound reforms
that improve ease of doing business while strengthening transparency and
governance.”

 

Adding to this, Mr. Kamlesh Thakur, President
Elect, NAREDCO Maharashtra observed, “This meeting marks a
decisive shift towards collaborative policymaking. SOP-led clarity on royalty,
surveys, and approvals will significantly enhance predictability and confidence
across the real estate ecosystem.” 

 

Supporting the initiative, Mr. Vikram Mehta,
President, BDA, and Mr. Sandip Isore, President, PEATA, noted
that unified procedures and streamlined approvals would meaningfully reduce
procedural redundancies and operational delays. 

 

The Joint Task Force reaffirmed its commitment to
continued engagement with the administration to ensure that these discussions
translate into tangible, on-ground reforms across Mumbai’s real estate sector
and towards that end a steering committee would be formed which would include
officers from the office of the Collector and various ancillary departments to
deliberate and streamline procedural bottlenecks and suggest policy changes to
be implemented at either the Collector level or recommended to Government for
further necessary action.  ]]></description>

<title>Dormant No More: Telecanor Global Launches AI&amp;Powered QIS Platform, Signals Strategic Revival, Backed by Rs152 Cr Land Bank near proposed Google AI Hub</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad
(Telangana) [India], December 22 : Telecanor
Global Ltd, a Hyderabad-based microcap company with a market capitalisation of
approximately ₹29 crore, announced a bold strategic revival on Friday, 19
december with the launch of an artificial intelligence (AI)–driven platform for
Institutional investors in the Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS) market,
a global segment valued at approximately USD 850 billions.

The AI-led
platform is designed to automate complex QIS workflows and convert lengthy
index rulebooks into executable trading strategies in minutes, a process that
currently requires 30–40 hours of manual work. 

Telecanor
plans a well-phased rollout: Phase I, expected within 10 months, focuses on
automatic PDF-to-code conversion and backtesting; Phase II, scheduled between
10 and 18 months, introduces an AI copilot to refine strategies; and Phase III,
expected beyond 18 months, provides hosting and execution infrastructure for
institutional clients. 

The
SaaS-based model aims to deliver high operating margins of around 70-80% post
R&amp;D, with projected annual recurring revenues reaching ₹7.5 crore in the
first year, with up to 5 client base, and projected recurring revenues up to
₹83 crore by the third year, with up to 60 client base. The company is shifting
from legacy analytics to a scalable, AI-driven fintech business, aiming for
recurring revenue and long-term growth.

This
AI-powered QIS platform launch will mark a significant turnaround for
Telecanor, which recently has reported stellar Q2,2025 revenue of ₹5.74 crore
and a profit after tax of ₹2.53 crore, reflecting operational efficiency and
financial discipline.Despite this profitability, the company currently trades
only at a PE ratio of approximately 8.98, a level widely regarded as low for an
IT and AI-focused business. 

Adding to
its strategic profile, Telecanor, with a market capitalisation of just around
₹29 crore, owns a land bank independently valued at approximately ₹152.46
crore, as per the report submitted to BSE. Importantly, this valuation reflects
a significant appreciation following the Andhra Pradesh government’s announcement
of the proposed Google AI Center hub with ₹1.5 lakh crore investment
initiatives. Telecanor’s land, located at Marripalem and Rajala Agraharam
villages, Rambilli Mandal, Anakapalli district, lies just ~600 meters from the
upcoming hub. This proximity has materially enhanced the land’s strategic
worth, offering near-term monetisation potential through IT/AI parks, corporate
or institutional leasing, employee housing, and mixed-use infrastructure
aligned with the emerging technology ecosystem.

The Board has
confirmed that the initiative will be executed within approved R&amp;D budgets,
with no related-party transactions involved. It emphasised that the platform
will serve strictly as a technology and tooling solution and will not provide
investment advice or execution services without compliance with applicable
regulations. Key risks, including technical complexity, data licensing
dependencies, institutional procurement cycles, and evolving AI regulations,
will be actively monitored.

Telecanor
stated that the AI-QIS platform represents its long-term commitment to
innovation, governance, and sustainable value creation, and further updates on
product development and strategic progress will be shared in line with
regulatory requirements. ]]></description>

<title>CONTENT IS KING: SIPPING CINEMA WITH SAMMIR I. PATEL</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/content-is-king-sipping-cinema-with-sammir-i-patel</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/content-is-king-sipping-cinema-with-sammir-i-patel</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ MUMBAI : While Bollywood often worships at the altar of
stardom, one filmmaker is placing a different bet: the irresistible, unshakable
story. As his digital thriller-comedy Sansani (Bachelorette Party Gone Wild)
revs up for premiere, writer-director-composer-producer Sammir I. Patel pulls
back the curtain on a career built on theatre grit, trusted brotherhoods, and
content that screams.
 

The Origin Story

“We ate, slept, and breathed theatre. That’s where the
multitasking madness was born.”

Patel’s roller-coaster began on the stage—writing, acting,
directing, producing. A fateful meeting with writer Manoj Santoshi on a TV set
pivoted his path into television, forging a partnership that would fuel every
medium. “Every format,” he says, “has been a masterclass.”

 

The Sansani Symphony: Cast &amp; Sound

This isn’t just a film; it’s a collective. Patel assembles a
killer ensemble:

· The Leading Force: Chetsi Rene, Richa Jain, Hunar Thethi
&amp; Shatakshi Kiran

· The Unforgettable ‘Gen-Z Don’: Brijendra Kala (also
co-producer)

· Special Voice Cameo: Comedy legend Johny Lever

· Gangster Trio: Abhishek Patel (‘Chikna’), Vishal Dubey
(‘Pencil’), Shivam Sharma (‘Kallu’)

· And Satya Narayan Mishra

On the scoreboard: Rising singer Rubai brings Patel’s
original songs to life, while composer Samrat Tarafdar fuels the frenzy.

A Debut Voice: Hunar Thethi on Becoming Megha

For Hunar Thethi, who plays the sharp yet vulnerable
journalist Megha, the role was a breakthrough. “Sammir Sir’s workshop was the
actual reason Megha was built,” she shares. “He helped me understand her
traits—a serious, no-nonsense journalist with OCD, yet young and vulnerable.
Those insights shaped her.”

Her audition was a leap of faith. “I called Sir and said, ‘I
have to do this!’ He wasn’t strict on lines—just told me to focus on the
character. When I got the call that night saying ‘I see Megha in you,’ I was
genuinely the happiest!”

Reflecting on her debut, she adds, “Sansani taught me that
preparation and presence go hand in hand. The workshop showed me how to build a
character, and the shoot taught me how to live it.”

 

The Inner Circle: When Trust Directs

“Brijendra ji played my chacha in my first play. We clicked
and never stopped.”

Some bonds define a career. For Patel, it’s the unwavering
faith of veterans like Brijendra Kala (“pure brilliance”) and Johny Lever
(“He’s family now. He believes in my vision and always says yes.”).

 

The Patel Playbook: How Stories Get Chosen

One rule: If the thrill survives the final draft, mount the
film.

“Sansani stayed crazy-fun from page one to the last shoot
day—and we nailed it.”

 

The Multi-Hyphenate Machine

Writer. Director. Composer. Producer. For Patel, it’s a
seamless rhythm.

“I switch gears as needed.” His secret? Songs are done
before the shoot, and every frame is already edited to the score in his mind.

 

The Catalogue &amp; The Pipeline

From the emotional depths of Milenge Jannat Mein to the
comedy of Hotel Beautifool and PFA: Love Mom &amp; Dad, Patel’s filmography
refuses genres. Now, with Sansani, the momentum rolls into upcoming rom-drama
Kuch Pal Aur Ruk Jao and bold comedy Pink Vodka.

 

The Mission: A Quiet Revolution

Through SIP Productions, Patel is waging a content-first
war.

“I want audiences to choose films for their stories, not
just their stars. When that shift happens, Indian cinema leaps forward.”

With Sansani, he isn’t just dropping a film—he’s championing
a new era. One where the only superstar that matters is the story itself.

 

Sansani (Bachelorette Party Gone Wild)

Produced by SIP Productions; Co-produced by Brijendra Kala,
Zoheb Patel, Satya Super Sound and Sandeep Hattangadi.

Premiering soon on a leading OTT platform.

Writer | Director | Producer | Composer

Rooted in superhit theatre (Baat Baat Mein Bigdey Halaat).

Sharpened on TV co-creating iconic comedies (Bhabhiji Ghar
Par Hai, Yeh Chanda Kanoon Hai).

Now building a digital-first empire of addictive,
talent-launching, content-obsessed cinema through SIP Productions. ]]></description>

and New Year celebrations closer, ixigo, India’s leading AI-based travel
platform, has announced its Global Getaway Sale, running from 23rd to
30th December 2025. Travellers can enjoy a flat 12% off on international
flights and hotels booked on ixigo, making it easier to plan an
international escape to wrap up the year.

With
the holiday season calling for time off and travel, Indians are increasingly
choosing international destinations to unwind, chill and celebrate. Growing
interest in overseas getaways is being shaped by factors such as easier visa
access, competitive fares and the preference for relaxed, clutter-free
holidays. To make these plans more rewarding, travellers can use code GLOBAL

amount, across all payment modes.

has seen strong interest this year, especially around the year-end holiday
period as travellers look to maximise limited time off. International flight
bookings have grown 40-45% YoY, driven by demand for short-haul leisure
destinations and rising interest in newer regions like the Middle East and
Central Asia, among others. With the Global Getaway Sale, we aim to make
international travel more affordable and pocket-friendly, helping travellers
plan and book their trips with ease and confidence.”

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
23 December 2025 : Surreal Global has unveiled the 6th edition of
World of Christmas, its annual festive experiential property, at Jio World
Drive, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai. Running from mid-December until December
28, this year’s Toyland-themed edition focuses on immersive design,
large-scale installations, interactive zones, and family-focused festive
experiences.

World
of Christmas was conceptualised by Surreal Global in 2018 with the vision of
creating a large-scale Christmas property tailored for Indian urban audiences.
Over the years, the IP has expanded across key retail destinations in Bengaluru
and Mumbai, before establishing itself as an annual festive property at Jio
World Drive from 2022 onwards. Designed and executed end-to-end by Surreal
Global, each edition builds on the last in scale, programming, and audience
engagement.

The
Toyland-themed edition introduces several new additions, including an
Animatronic Reindeer Barn, an enhanced Santa’s Grotto for meet-and-greets,
arcade-style games, expanded DIY activity zones, and a dedicated Letter to
Santa station. Multiple daily festive parades featuring elves, toy soldiers,
mascots, and Santa animate the space, while signature elements such as the snow
blizzard and the central Christmas tree continue as visual anchors.

Spread
across 12 days, World of Christmas is anchored by a winter market format with
themed stalls, streetscapes, and open walkways. The market brings together
winter comfort food and seasonal festive fare alongside curated retail pop-ups,
games, and interactive activities, positioning it as a seasonal shopping and
entertainment destination during the December festive period.

Commenting
on the sixth edition, Rahul Soni, Founder, Surreal Global, said, “World
of Christmas is a Surreal Global–owned IP that we have built and grown over the
years with the intent of creating a festive destination people return to every
December. With each edition, our focus is on expanding the scale, introducing
new experiences, and making the overall celebration more immersive, while
retaining the warmth and nostalgia associated with Christmas. The Toyland
edition reflects that journey, with more interactive moments, playful
installations, and walk-through experiences that continue to strengthen World
of Christmas as a signature seasonal property for the city.”

Through
World of Christmas and its wider portfolio of experiential projects, Surreal
Global continues to strengthen its position in creating large-scale, seasonal
experiences that draw diverse audiences during key calendar moments. With
consistent focus on immersive design, live entertainment, retail integration,
and community-driven programming, the company’s work reflects its approach to
building repeatable, scalable experiential properties with strong audience
recall.

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, 23 December 2025: Puravankara Limited (NSE: PURVA | BSE: 532891), one of India’s most
trusted real estate developers, has acquired a 53.5-acre land parcel in Anekal
Taluk, Bengaluru, further strengthening its presence in one of the city’s
emerging residential growth corridors. The acquisition is aligned with the
company’s strategy to expand across Bengaluru micro-markets, supported by
improved infrastructure, strong connectivity, and sustained end-user demand.

 

Commenting on the development, Ashish
Puravankara, Managing Director, Puravankara Limited, said, “This
acquisition is part of our ongoing efforts to systematically add quality
developable land to our launch pipeline across strategic micro-markets. This
reflects our disciplined approach to growth with a long-term view for the organisation,
and also confidence in the fundamentals of these markets to create large,
sustainable communities.”

 

The newly acquired land parcel at Attibele Hobli is
strategically located and has a saleable area of 6.4 msft, with a potential
gross development value of over Rs 4,800 crores.

 

Adding further context, Mallanna Sasalu, CEO -
South, Puravankara Limited, said, “The project is located in a
micro-market marked by strong end-user demand and limited availability of
developable land. Before this acquisition, during H1 FY26, we added a total of
6.36 million sq ft of developable area in Bengaluru and Mumbai, with an
estimated gross development value of Rs 9,100 crores. The addition of another
Rs 4,800 crores brings the potential GDV to Rs 13,900 crores and the
developable area to 12.76 msft for the year to date.”

 

“Earlier this year, we also advanced our Bengaluru
growth plans through strategic acquisitions. This includes partnering with KVN
Property Holdings LLP for a 24.59-acre parcel at KIADB Hardware Park in North
Bengaluru, with a developable area of 3.48 msft and a potential GDV of over Rs
3,300 crores, as well as a joint development for a 5.5-acre parcel in Balegere,
East Bengaluru, with a developable area of 0.85 msft and a potential GDV of
over Rs 1,000 crores,” he further added. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
India – December 22, 2025 : The festive spirit arrived in full
splendour at Lulu Mall, Rajajinagar, Bengaluru, as it hosted a spectacular
Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on the chilly evening of December 20th.
Despite the crisp, winter air, the warmth of the celebrations brought hundreds
together, marking the official inauguration of ‘Lulu Land’, the mall’s
enchanting Christmas village, and setting the stage for celebrations lasting
until December 31st.

The
evening was a dazzling affair, with families and guests wrapped in winter warmth
gathering in anticipation. The highlight was the grand illumination of a
majestic, towering Christmas tree, artfully decorated in a striking palette of
emerald, green, shimmering gold, and frosted silver, which cast a magical,
welcoming glow across the atrium perfect for the freezing evening. The
countdown and lighting moment were met with cheers and applause, officially
lighting up the season of joy and warmth.

Adding
to the wonder, an International Santa made a grand entry accompanied by his
cheerful elves, much to the delight of children and adults alike. The air,
though cold outside, was filled inside with festive music, laughter, and the
comforting aroma of seasonal treats, creating a cosy and unforgettable
atmosphere. Visitors enjoyed photo opportunities with Santa, explored the
beautifully decorated ‘Lulu Land’ aisles, and experienced the first of many
special moments planned until the year’s end.

The
celebrations are far from over. In addition to daily visits from the
International Santa, Lulu Mall has lined up a host of engaging entertainment
activities until December 31st, including live carol performances. 

&quot;We
envisioned creating a winter wonderland where families could step into the
heart of Christmas magic, embracing even the chilly weather as part of the
festive charm. Last night&#039;s tree lighting, against the cool evening breeze, was
just the beginning. With our International Santa and a packed schedule of
activities until New Year’s Evening, Lulu Land is the place to be for festive
joy, warmth, and unforgettable memories.&quot;
said Mr. Kiran V Puthran , General Manager, Lulu Mall Bengaluru.

The
Christmas and year end celebrations at Lulu Mall Bengaluru will continue until
December 31st, featuring daily visits from Santa, festive performances, special

<description><![CDATA[   New Season of Sailings Features 320 Voyages with Two Prima Class Ships in San
Juan and Expanded Caribbean Adventures

MUMBAI (22 December, 2025) : Norwegian
Cruise Line (NCL), the innovator in global cruise travel with a 59-year
history of breaking boundaries, has announced its highly anticipated 2027/28
northern hemisphere winter deployment, promising sun-soaked escapes, culturally
enriching adventures, and the ultimate freedom and flexibility to design a
personalised holiday experience – onboard and ashore. 

 

Following last month’s announcement of 50 sailings
during Norwegian Spirit’s® 2027/28 return to Australia and New Zealand, as well
as an immersive Asia season for Norwegian Jade® and an extended Hawai’i season
for Pride of America®,  NCL has launched an additional 320 voyages focused
on the Bahamas,
the Caribbean, Bermuda
and the Mexican
Riviera. Together, these announcements bring the total number of newly
released sailings to more than 370 voyages across 50 countries, offering guests
an unparalleled choice whether exploring near, or far. 

 

San Juan, Puerto Rico to Welcome Two Award-Winning
Prima Class Ships 

 

For the first time in the cruise line’s history, two
of NCL’s newest ships will homeport in San Juan, Puerto Rico offering
week-long voyages to the Southern Caribbean with each ship offering a distinct
itinerary. From 13 Nov.  2027 through 22 April, 2028, Norwegian
Prima® will feature Saturday turnarounds and seven-day
itineraries calling to Road Town (Tortola), British Virgin Islands;
Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Bridgetown, Barbados; Castries, St. Lucia;
Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis; and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Complementing
her sister ship’s itineraries, Norwegian
Viva will operate Sunday turnarounds from 14 Nov.  2027 through 23
Jan. 2028, with more south-bound seven-day voyages, including calls in Aruba
and Curaçao, delivering vibrant cultural encounters and sun-soaked escapes.

 

Florida Homeports Set the Stage for Diverse
Bahamas, Caribbean and Panama Canal Voyages

 

With seven ships departing from homeports across
Florida, guests can choose from a variety of itineraries sailing to the
Bahamas, the Caribbean and the Panama Canal. Many of these itineraries include
a stop at NCL’s signature private destination in the Bahamas, Great Stirrup
Cay. The island will boast exciting upgrades and enhancements such as a new
pier, an oversized heated swimming pool and Great Tides Waterpark, creating an
elevated island experience that blends relaxation with adventure.

 

From Miami, the “Cruise Capital of the World”, Norwegian
Joy®, Norwegian Jewel® and Norwegian Luna™ offer
everything from short Bahamas getaways to extended Caribbean and Panama Canal
voyages. Norwegian Joy will feature three-
and four-day Bahamas escapes between November 2027 and April 2028, while
Norwegian Jewel presents a mix
of 10- and 11-day voyages to the Southern Caribbean and Panama Canal from
November 2027 through January 2028. Norwegian
Luna delivers seven-day Eastern Caribbean sailings from October 2027
through April 2028 with Great Stirrup Cay included on every itinerary.

 

Departing from Port Canaveral (Orlando), Fla.,
Norwegian Aqua®, Norwegian Breakaway® and Norwegian Epic®
provide even more options. Norwegian Aqua, one of NCL’s newest ships, will
operate seven-day
Western Caribbean cruises departing every Sunday starting October 2027
until April 2028, visiting the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Mexico, and Great
Stirrup Cay. Beginning November 2027 through March 2028, Norwegian Breakaway
offers a mix
of shorter four- and five-day Bahamas and Caribbean voyages, and Norwegian
Epic sails seven-day

On 19 November , 2027, Norwegian
Dawn® will return to Jacksonville, Fla., and kick off her second
season from JAXPORT. Through April 2028, the ship will sail four- and five-day
Bahamas itineraries calling to Freeport, Nassau as well as Great Stirrup Cay.

 

NCL Continues Year-Round Deployment from
Philadelphia

 

After restarting cruise operations from the Port of
Philadelphia in April 2026, NCL remains committed to the homeport with
Norwegian Pearl® sailing an exceptional selection of five- to 12-day
itineraries to Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Eastern and Southern Caribbean
from the SouthPort Marine Terminal Complex between October 2027 and April 2028.
The ship’s Bermuda
voyages include overnight stays at the Royal Naval Dockyard, while
its Bahamas

<description><![CDATA[ Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], December 22 : Anubhav Mohanty, one of the most celebrated faces of Odisha, stands tall as the only superstar in the state to have achieved unparalleled stardom to date, commanding admiration that transcends generations. From his early days as an album sensation to his status as a cinematic icon, Anubhav Mohanty’s journey reflects an extraordinary connection with the people of Odisha—from young children to grandparents alike.With a career marked by consistency, mass appeal, and record-breaking success, Anubhav Mohanty has delivered some of the biggest blockbusters in Odia cinema, including I Love U, Balunga Toka, Agastya, Karma, Kuhudi, and Chardham. These films not only set box-office benchmarks but also became some of the longest-running films in Odisha&#039;s cinema halls, firmly establishing him as the G.O.A.T. of the Odia film industry.Beyond cinema, Anubhav Mohanty’s influence extends deeply into public life. In 2014, he made history by becoming one of the youngest Members of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha, and later, in 2019, he was elected as a Member of Parliament from Kendrapara (Lok Sabha). His rare ability to command immense popularity both on-screen and in public service has built a fan base driven by trust, admiration, and emotional connection.Currently, anticipation is at an all-time high as Odisha eagerly awaits its most ambitious and dream projects, Chaki Suna and Raavan. Among them, Raavan is already being hailed as a record-breaking cinematic spectacle, with strong industry buzz suggesting it will redefine box-office standards and become the highest-grossing film in Odia cinema. Adding to the excitement, discussions are underway for a Hindi-dubbed release of Raavan in cinemas nationwide, marking a significant milestone for Odia cinema on the pan-India stage.As Anubhav Mohanty celebrates his birthday on 24th December, admirers, fans, and well-wishers across Odisha and beyond come together to honour a megastar whose legacy continues to grow stronger with time.On this special occasion, we extend our heartfelt wishes to Anubhav Mohanty—wishing him good health, continued success, and many more milestones ahead.Happy Birthday to Odisha’s Megastar. ]]></description>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], December 22 :</span><span> Anubhav Mohanty, one of the most celebrated faces of Odisha, stands tall as the only superstar in the state to have achieved unparalleled stardom to date, commanding admiration that transcends generations. From his early days as an album sensation to his status as a cinematic icon, Anubhav Mohanty’s journey reflects an extraordinary connection with the people of Odisha—from young children to grandparents alike.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>With a career marked by consistency, mass appeal, and record-breaking success, Anubhav Mohanty has delivered some of the biggest blockbusters in Odia cinema, including I Love U, Balunga Toka, Agastya, Karma, Kuhudi, and Chardham. These films not only set box-office benchmarks but also became some of the longest-running films in Odisha's cinema halls, firmly establishing him as the G.O.A.T. of the Odia film industry.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Beyond cinema, Anubhav Mohanty’s influence extends deeply into public life. In 2014, he made history by becoming one of the youngest Members of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha, and later, in 2019, he was elected as a Member of Parliament from Kendrapara (Lok Sabha). His rare ability to command immense popularity both on-screen and in public service has built a fan base driven by trust, admiration, and emotional connection.</span></p>
<p><span><span> </span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Currently, anticipation is at an all-time high as Odisha eagerly awaits its most ambitious and dream projects, Chaki Suna and Raavan. Among them, Raavan is already being hailed as a record-breaking cinematic spectacle, with strong industry buzz suggesting it will redefine box-office standards and become the highest-grossing film in Odia cinema. Adding to the excitement, discussions are underway for a Hindi-dubbed release of Raavan in cinemas nationwide, marking a significant milestone for Odia cinema on the pan-India stage.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As Anubhav Mohanty celebrates his birthday on 24th December, admirers, fans, and well-wishers across Odisha and beyond come together to honour a megastar whose legacy continues to grow stronger with time.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>On this special occasion, we extend our heartfelt wishes to Anubhav Mohanty—wishing him good health, continued success, and many more milestones ahead.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Happy Birthday to Odisha’s Megastar.<br></span></p>]]> </content:encoded>

<description><![CDATA[ Over
300 patients and families screened; initiative led by Dr. Sunil Bhat aims to
accelerate access to curative bone marrow transplants.

Kolkata,
December 22, 2025 : Narayana Health City, Bengaluru, yesterday
announced the successful completion of one of Eastern India’s largest HLA
Testing Camps for thalassemia patients, held at Narayana RN Tagore Hospital,
Mukundapur. Organised in association with DKMS, Thalassemics India, Coal India,
the Federation of Blood Donor Organisations of India, and Paschim Bangal Sikkim
Prantiya Marwari Yuva Manch, the camp screened more than 300 children and their
family members to identify potential matches for bone marrow transplantation
(BMT), the only curative treatment for thalassemia.

The
initiative was led by Dr. Sunil Bhat, Vice-Chairman Oncology Collegium,
Narayana Health Group, Director and Head of Pediatric Haematology, Oncology and
Blood &amp; Marrow Transplantation, Narayana Health City, Bengaluru.

India
continues to face a significant burden of thalassemia, particularly in Eastern
India, where many children rely on lifelong blood transfusions. Early HLA
testing plays a crucial role in identifying matched donors for bone marrow
transplants, which offer the potential for a normal life.

Speaking
on the outcome, Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, Founder and Chairman, Narayana
Health, said, “Every child deserves access to a definitive cure. Through
this large-scale HLA screening, we are helping families take a crucial step
toward finding a suitable donor match. Our commitment remains unwavering to
ensure that no child is denied a healthy future because of financial
constraints or lack of access to advanced care.”

Sharing
his insights on the camp’s impact, Dr. Sunil Bhat said, “We are
encouraged by the overwhelming response from families across West Bengal and
neighbouring regions. Many children screened today have taken the first and
most essential step toward curative treatment. Timely testing can transform
outcomes, and we are committed to supporting every eligible family in their BMT
journey.”

Narayana
Health, which operates one of India’s most advanced Bone Marrow Transplant
programs and has completed over 2,500 transplants, will provide financial
assistance to eligible patients identified with suitable matches through this
camp. The camp also witnessed extensive awareness generation, on-site
counselling, and close coordination with referring centres to ensure seamless
participation.

<title>Where Christmas Breaks Convention: Surreal Global’s Signature Seasonal Expression</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai | December 2025,
Surreal Global, pioneers in
transforming spaces into magical experiences, return this Christmas season with
an expansive national and international showcase, reimagining festive décor
through character, craft, and narrative. As part of Surreal Christmas, the
brand has crafted over 25 bespoke Christmas trees across landmark locations
worldwide.

 

Rooted in Surreal Global’s philosophy of storytelling
through space, a ‘Surreal’ Christmas unfolds as a thematic celebration—each
installation possessing its own tone, personality, and voice. These
thoughtfully curated narratives evoke festive joy and wonder, resonating with
audiences across geographies and cultures.

 

At Jio World Drive, Mumbai, the spotlight shone on
“Christmas Gala.” Delving into imaginative storytelling, the installation
featured a central protagonist—the chic Christmas tree—surrounded by an
ensemble of character-driven elements, each with a distinct and unforgettable
personality. The design captured whimsy and wonder through micro-expressive,
anthropomorphic details that infused dynamic life into a static form. From
custom-tailored outfits to meticulously moulded features, every element played
a role in unfolding the story, allowing visitors to walk through a world of
their own, leaving them in awe.

Celebrating glamour at Phoenix Palladium,
Mumbai, Surreal Global
collaborated with Sephora x Fenty Beauty to create a sequin-studded Christmas
spectacle, seamlessly blending fashion, beauty, and holiday cheer under one
roof. With multiple notable projects executed for the Phoenix Group across the
country, as well as installations at Jio and Bengaluru International Airport,
and festive brand collaborations with Anand Jewels and Eish by Anand Jewels,
Surreal Global is also elevating celebrations nationwide through Winter Fest
2025.

 

At major Adani Airports - Ahmedabad, Trivandrum,
Guwahati, Lucknow, and Mangalore, Winter Fest aims at transforming transit
spaces into immersive festive destinations. Custom-designed Christmas trees,
interactive installations, and unique experiences at each airport enhanced the
waiting experience, making festive travel memorable and engaging, and airports
into destinations.

 

Guided by the philosophy ‘Crafted in India, Made for
the World,’ Surreal Global continues to expand its global footprint. This
season, the United Kingdom witnessed one of the brand’s spectacular Christmas
tree installations, through collaboration with native craftsmen and skilled
executors. From structural setup and intricate detailing to production and
on-site execution, the project exemplified seamless cross-continental creative
synergy.

 

Continuing its legacy of blending global experiences,
Surreal Global once again brought European Christmas traditions to India
through ‘World of Christmas’, an in-house design and production concept.
Featuring charming Christmas markets, Santa’s Grotto, boutique stores, food,
entertainment, and a magnificent central tree, the experience is spreading
festive cheer throughout December and is hosted this year at Jio World Drive,
Mumbai.

 

Defining a ‘Surreal’ Christmas may be challenging,
because every tree shines with its own story, spirit, and light.

 

This season, Surreal Global didn’t just design décor-
it designed moments, memories, and magical worlds that transcend space,
culture, and continents.

<title>MET Institute of Mass Media Hosted Metamorphosis 2025: A Power&amp;Packed Celebration of Creativity in the MediaVerse</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
December 2025 : Mumbai Educational Trust (MET) - Institute of Mass Media inaugurated
Metamorphosis 2025, its flagship creative festival, with the vibrant theme
MediaVerse, celebrating storytelling, innovation, and the ever-evolving world
of multimedia creation. As one of India’s leading Media &amp; Communication
institutions offering PG programs,
the MET IMM continues to shape future-ready professionals through its diverse
educational programmes across advertising, journalism, entertainment, digital
marketing, events, content creation, storytelling, creative technology and
more. MET’s student-first approach, strong academic foundation, and hands-on
training ensure that young learners are equipped with industry knowledge,
creative thinking, and practical skills to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

The
festival - Metamorphosis, opened with heartfelt guidance from MET’s leadership
and amongst fanfare of student and media enthusiasts. Shri Pankaj Bhujbal, Hon.
Trustee, expressed pride in MET’s long-standing commitment to nurturing media
talent and preparing students for industry challenges. Smt. Vishakha Bhujbal,
Senior Management Representative, encouraged students to explore their
creativity with confidence and curiosity. The event reflected the vision of Dr.
Priya Menon Nair, Director of MET Institute of Mass Media, whose hands-on
guidance helped students shape their ideas into powerful creative experiences.

The
day began with an electrifying session by Team BhaDiPa featuring Sarang, Rahi,
and Devang. Their energy, humour, and live content creation instantly connected
with the audience. Students from 35 colleges participated enthusiastically,
turning the hall into a vibrant creative playground.

A
major highlight of the festival was The Creators’ Court, an imaginative
courtroom style showcase with Manoj Bajpayee, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, and
Prahlad Kakar. Student representatives Akshata and Ronak presented playful
creative charges, and the celebrities responded with sharp wit and good natured
roasts that had the audience cheering. It became a memorable mix of humour and
honest creative reflection.

Manoj
Bajpayee reflected, 
“When you truly love what you do, and you keep doing it every day, you slowly
become flawless at it. It’s like learning the guitar. In the beginning, you’re
focused on the strings and the fretboard, unsure and slow. But with practice,
mastery comes naturally. Keep practising, stay committed to the craft, and
that’s how real growth happens.”

Rakyesh
Omprakash Mehra said, 
“Media doesn’t really bring people together. People do. Sit with your family,
spend time with your grandparents. They are the ones who hold families
together. Films and stories are just an ice breaker, a reason to start the
conversation.”

Pralhad
Kakar shared with a smile, 
“I haven’t grown older than 18 at all. I’m Gen Z at heart. People say attention
spans have shortened, but that’s not true. If you are willing to tell an
honest, interesting story, people will always stay and listen.”

The
momentum continued with a conversation featuring Marathi actors Abhinay Berde,
Hruta Durgule, and Director Kshitij Patwardhan, moderated by Shweta Gadekar
along with student moderators Anoushka and Vaibhavi. Their discussion on
evolving narratives, performance journeys, and the future of Marathi cinema
resonated strongly with aspiring creators.

The
second day brought yet another power-packed edition of The Creators’ Court,
this time featuring Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal. What began as an expected
casual conversation quickly turned into a full-fledged Gen Z–style
interrogation, complete with playful charges, witty comebacks, and infectious
laughter. Their spontaneity, humour, and glowing chemistry instantly won over
the audience. Through their candid interactions, students got a glimpse of who
they truly are behind the screen — a fun-loving, warm, and genuinely joyful
couple whose real-life camaraderie made the session one of the festival’s most
unforgettable highlights.

Sonakshi
Sinha said,
“In today’s media world, being real matters more than anything. Authenticity
cuts through all the noise and trends. It’s the strongest voice a creator can
have.”

Zaheer
Iqbal shared,
“Media has a lot of power and reach, and with that comes the responsibility.
Every story or performance should try to say something meaningful, because
that’s what truly stays with people.”



Competitions,
Scale, and Grand Finale





Across three action-packed days, Metamorphosis 2025 hosted a
total of 28 dynamic activities—12 on Day 1, 9 on Day 2, and 7 on Day 3.
Events ranged from Mr. &amp; Ms. Metamorphosis, fashion shows, dance
competitions, creative challenges, and more, culminating in a grand Awards
Ceremony that celebrated talent, teamwork, and creative excellence.





Just for this event MET IMM
crafted the coveted 9.5-foot Metamorphosis ]]></description>

Their energy, humour, and live content creation instantly connected with the audience. Students from 35 colleges participated enthusiastically, turning the hall into a vibrant creative playground.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">A major highlight of the festival was The Creators’ Court, an imaginative courtroom style showcase with Manoj Bajpayee, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, and Prahlad Kakar. Student representatives Akshata and Ronak presented playful creative charges, and the celebrities responded with sharp wit and good natured roasts that had the audience cheering. It became a memorable mix of humour and honest creative reflection.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Manoj Bajpayee</span></b><span lang="EN"> reflected, <br>“When you truly love what you do, and you keep doing it every day, you slowly become flawless at it. It’s like learning the guitar. In the beginning, you’re focused on the strings and the fretboard, unsure and slow. But with practice, mastery comes naturally. Keep practising, stay committed to the craft, and that’s how real growth happens.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra</span></b><span lang="EN"> said, <br>“Media doesn’t really bring people together. People do. Sit with your family, spend time with your grandparents. They are the ones who hold families together. Films and stories are just an ice breaker, a reason to start the conversation.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Pralhad Kakar</span></b><span lang="EN"> shared with a smile, <br>“I haven’t grown older than 18 at all. I’m Gen Z at heart. People say attention spans have shortened, but that’s not true. If you are willing to tell an honest, interesting story, people will always stay and listen.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The momentum continued with a conversation featuring Marathi actors Abhinay Berde, Hruta Durgule, and Director Kshitij Patwardhan, moderated by Shweta Gadekar along with student moderators Anoushka and Vaibhavi. Their discussion on evolving narratives, performance journeys, and the future of Marathi cinema resonated strongly with aspiring creators.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The second day brought yet another power-packed edition of <i>The Creators’ Court</i>, this time featuring Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal. What began as an expected casual conversation quickly turned into a full-fledged Gen Z–style interrogation, complete with playful charges, witty comebacks, and infectious laughter. Their spontaneity, humour, and glowing chemistry instantly won over the audience. Through their candid interactions, students got a glimpse of who they truly are behind the screen — a fun-loving, warm, and genuinely joyful couple whose real-life camaraderie made the session one of the festival’s most unforgettable highlights.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Sonakshi Sinha</span></b><span lang="EN"> said,<br>“In today’s media world, being real matters more than anything. Authenticity cuts through all the noise and trends. It’s the strongest voice a creator can have.”</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Zaheer Iqbal</span></b><span lang="EN"> shared,<br>“Media has a lot of power and reach, and with that comes the responsibility. Every story or performance should try to say something meaningful, because that’s what truly stays with people.”</span></p>

<title>Don&amp;apos;t resist the AI wave, be a surfer and ride it, says Arundhati Bhattacharya at Bombay Chamber’s 190th Foundation Day</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai : Leverage
artificial intelligence and technology as enablers, rather than fear them, was
central to the message delivered by Arundhati Bhattacharya, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Salesforce South Asia and former Chairperson of the State
Bank of India, at the Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s 190th
Foundation Day on December 17, 2025, in Mumbai.

“AI will change the way we work. It is a change here to
stay, not to be resisted. If you resist, it will hit you like a tsunami.
Resisting it will disempower you. Leaning in will make you far more powerful
than otherwise. Ride AI like a surfer,” Bhattacharya said, addressing an
audience comprising business leaders, policymakers, diplomats, and members of
the wider corporate community.



Welcoming the audience, Rajiv
Anand, President of the Chamber and MD &amp; CEO of IndusInd Bank, reflected on
the Chamber’s journey since 1836 and its enduring role in shaping India’s
economic and commercial landscape. Anand emphasised that the Foundation Day was
not only a commemoration of the Chamber’s past but also a reaffirmation of its
commitment to progress and transformation.

He noted that the Chamber’s
membership today reflects the breadth of India’s enterprise ecosystem, ranging
from some of the country’s largest corporates to a dynamic small and medium
enterprise sector that now accounts for two-thirds of its base. “This
diversity,” he said, “has been central to the Chamber’s ability to adapt and
evolve over nearly two centuries.”

Anand also elaborated on how the
Chamber reinforced its role as a trusted bridge between government and industry
through an active committee structure, thought leadership initiatives, and
effective dispute resolution. Guided by the theme Shaping the Future:
Innovation, Inclusion, Impact, its engagements covered priority areas including
AI and responsible innovation, arbitration, labour reforms, DEI, MSME
development, capital markets, sustainability, agriculture, and infrastructure.
The Chamber also strengthened its international footprint through overseas
delegations, including India’s first business delegation to Cyprus, while
continuing to develop forward-looking knowledge initiatives such as the CSR
Year Book and the upcoming CEO’s AI Playbook.



“Together, these initiatives
highlight the Chamber’s commitment to progressive business practices,
enterprise development and reinforcing Mumbai’s position as a hub of economic
leadership, supported by the continued partnership of sponsors and
collaborators,” said Anand. 





The Foundation Day also saw
the  unveiling of a book capturing DEI
journeys authored by the winners of the third edition of the Bombay Chamber DEI
Forum &amp; Awards, held in June. Building on the momentum of the Awards, the
initiative seeks to advance DEI conversations by presenting these journeys as
practical and inspirational case studies for industry. The book titled DEI
Dynamics in India Inc 2025 was unveiled in the presence of Arundhati
Bhattacharya, Rajiv Anand, Latha Venkatesh, Executive Editor, CNBC TV18;
Sudhanshu Vats, Senior Vice President, Bombay Chamber and Managing Director,
Pidilite Industries Ltd.; Meenakshi Priyam, Chair, DE&amp;I Committee, Bombay
Chamber and Senior Vice President &amp; Head – Human Resources (Automotive
Division), Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Ltd.; Pinky Mehta, immediate Past President,
Bombay Chamber and CFO, Aditya Birla Capital; Dr Indu Shahani, Founding
President &amp; Chancellor, Atlas Skilltech University; and Sandeep Khosla,
Director General, Bombay Chamber, reaffirming the Chamber’s commitment to
diversity, equity, and inclusion as a cornerstone of responsible and
future-ready business.





This was followed by a highly
illuminating fireside chat that seamlessly blended personal experience with
visionary thinking. Bhattacharya, a pioneering leader who has transformed
banking and now leads Salesforce South Asia, shared a compelling perspective on
technological transformation, with a particular focus on artificial
intelligence and its implications for India’s economic landscape. Moderated by
Latha Venkatesh, the conversation explored the intersections of technology,
banking, and societal progress, anchored in a clear message, “Technological
change is not something to fear—it is something to engage with thoughtfully and
strategically.”

Addressing concerns around job
loss, Bhattacharya reframed the debate and noted, “This is not a question of
jobs going away, but of jobs changing.” While acknowledging that transition
periods are always painful,” she emphasised the importance of preparedness,
adding “What will differentiate people in the future is multidisciplinary
capability, experience, and human judgement.” AI, she observed, enhances
productivity by enabling faster, more informed decision-making. “Today, AI can
point out discrepancies instantly,” she said, citing examples such as loan

<description><![CDATA[ Under the visionary leadership of the Hon’ble Prime Minister, the Cabinet Secretariat, Government of India, initiated the Compliance Burden Reduction and Deregulation exercise for all states. As part of this national reform agenda, the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Rajasthan provided active leadership for the state’s participation and ensured effective and timely implementation through multiple meetings chaired by the Chief Secretary of Rajasthan.As a result, Rajasthan emerged among the leading states that achieved full compliance in all 23 priority areas identified by the Government of India. These reforms were systematically implemented, thereby creating a strong and efficient ecosystem that reinforced Ease of Doing Business. The regulatory framework was simplified and modernised, laying a robust foundation for the grounding and effective implementation of the Memoranda of Understanding signed during the Rising Rajasthan Investment Global Summit.Rajasthan demonstrated its commitment to strengthening the Ease of Doing Business ecosystem by implementing several transformative reforms. To promote the MSME sector, the state amended Rule 90 to simplify the land conversion process in urban areas, reducing the timeline from 60 to 30 working days, after which automatic approval is granted. This has reduced project delays and accelerated the establishment of new enterprises.In the field of pollution control, Rajasthan has made remarkable progress. For MSMEs, the timeline for Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) was reduced from 120 days to 21 days, and for red/large category enterprises to 60 days. Additionally, the Pollution Control Board introduced system-generated auto-renewal of CTOs for units complying with environmental laws based on self-certification. Moreover, amendments to Water and Air Pollution Rules expanded the list of non-polluting White Category industries from 104 sectors to 877 sectors, exempting more non-polluting industries from regulatory requirements. This has accelerated project approvals and promoted industrial growth.To reduce regulatory burden on micro-enterprises, the Rajasthan Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1958, was amended to increase the employee limit from 0 to 10. Furthermore, to strengthen Ease of Doing Business and make establishments more convenient, the state issued an ordinance increasing permissible working hours under the Act. According to the ordinance, daily working hours were raised from 9 to 10, with a minimum 30-minute break after 6 hours of work, and the quarterly overtime limit was increased to 144 hours.Additionally, the Rajasthan government amended Rule 100 of the Rajasthan Factory Rules, 1951, allowing women workers (except pregnant women and mothers) to work in all hazardous tasks, including 15 tasks previously prohibited for women.Fire safety compliance was streamlined by introducing third-party fire inspections through empanelled agencies and extending the validity period of Fire NOC certificates, thereby reducing procedural delays while ensuring safety standards.Rajasthan also became a leading state in rationalising minimum road width requirements for rural industries. Road width was fixed at 9 meters in areas with layout plans and 4.5 meters in areas without layout plans. The state implemented significant reforms to optimise land use in industrial and commercial areas. The Urban Development and Housing Department and RIICO amended building standards to ensure optimal land utilisation and rationalised parking norms. The earlier restriction of 50% ground coverage on commercial plots was removed, providing greater flexibility in urban planning.In the field of urban development, the Rajasthan government issued the Transit-Oriented Development Policy, aimed at promoting compact, pedestrian-friendly, and transport-centric urban growth. This policy encourages high-density mixed-use development around metro corridors, BRTS, and major transportation routes, helping to reduce traffic congestion, control horizontal urban sprawl, increase public transportation usage, and build cleaner, more efficient cities.In the area of decriminalisation, the state notified the Rajasthan Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Ordinance, 2025, amending provisions of 11 state laws to decriminalise minor offences. Under this ordinance, criminal provisions were replaced with monetary penalties, penalties were rationalised, and criminal proceedings were reduced, making it easier for citizens and businesses to operate.To further strengthen investor facilitation, the state’s single-window system, RajNivesh, was empowered with an AI chatbot that integrates information from various departments to provide seamless and effective assistance to investors.Through these comprehensive and visionary reforms, Rajasthan has reaffirmed its position among India’s leading states in compliance reduction, deregulation, and investor facilitation, highlighting its continued commitment to ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/fatakpay-launches-fatakudaan-to-enable-credit-building-for-millions-of-indians</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  FatakPay, a digital lending startup,
today announced the launch of FatakUdaan, a digital credit-building product
aimed at helping millions of credit-underserved Indians build and strengthen
their credit scores through a simple, structured journey. The product is
designed for first-time borrowers, gig workers and blue-collar workers in Tier
2 and Tier 3 cities with no or low credit history.

 

FatakUdaan provides users access to their credit
bureau report along with an in-depth credit analysis that helps them understand
their credit history, current score, and key factors impacting their
creditworthiness. The product offers guided, actionable steps to help users
assess liabilities, correct past issues, and adopt healthier credit behaviours
over time.

 

As part of the journey, users gain access to a secured
credit card through FatakPay’s banking partners by depositing a nominal amount
in a fixed deposit, which becomes their credit limit. The low FD threshold
ensures broad participation and enables users to build repayment discipline
through regular usage. Select eligible users may also receive a micro instant
personal loan, repayable within three months, with timely repayments reported
to credit bureaus to further improve credit scores.

 

Commenting on the launch, Abhishek Gandhi, Co-Founder,
FatakPay, said, ‘Approximately 451 million Indians have limited or no access to
formal credit, restricting their financial opportunities. FatakUdaan is
designed to help individuals take their first step toward building a credit
history, improving low scores, and unlocking access to formal financial
products, creating meaningful social impact and greater inclusion.’

 

Gaurav Keskar, VP Marketing, FatakPay, added,
‘FatakUdaan focuses on a behaviour-led, habit-forming approach to credit
building rather than a one-time transaction. By enabling small, structured
actions such as timely repayments, we help users build confidence, stronger
credit habits, and long-term financial stability.’

 

With FatakUdaan, FatakPay continues to innovate in
digital lending by combining awareness, education, and practical
credit-building tools to help users transition from being credit-invisible to
credit-ready.

 

About FatakPay

 

FatakPay is redefining financial access for India’s
semi-urban and rural workforce through a holistic digital ecosystem that goes
beyond credit to help users save, invest, protect their wealth, and build
financial confidence. With FatakUdaan, its credit-building product, and
FatakSecure, its IRDA-licensed insurance platform, FatakPay empowers
underserved Indians to establish credit, protect assets, and take control of
their financial journey.

 

The platform also offers instant, collateral-free
loans up to ₹5 lakh, AI-driven underwriting, free CIBIL monitoring,
micro-investment options, curated upskilling programs, career opportunities,
and lifestyle rewards,creating a truly Bharat-centric financial experience.
Since its inception, FatakPay has disbursed over ₹2,500 crore, onboarded more
than 2 crore users, and partnered with 150+ enterprises, supported by a 500+
strong team from fintech, banking, and NBFC backgrounds. Led by Amit Lodha

monthly disbursements by FY26 while building India’s most trusted financial
wellness brand.

<title>BMW presents the sixth edition of Kochi&amp;Muziris Biennale</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Since its very first edition in
2012, BMW has been official partner of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB).

Kochi :  Since its very first edition
in 2012, BMW has been official partner of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB). For
the sixth Kochi-Muziris Biennale, the Kochi Biennale Foundation is curated by Nikhil
Chopra with HH Art Spaces featuring 66 artists projects from more than 25
countries. The biennale opened to public on 12 December 2025 and will last
for a period of four months.

Mr. Hardeep Singh Brar, President &amp; CEO, BMW Group India
said, “The BMW Group India is proud to continue its partnership of the sixth
edition of Kochi-Muziris Biennale, a platform that celebrates creativity,
dialogue and new perspectives. Art has the power to inspire progressive
thinking, and this partnership reflects our belief in innovation that moves
both people and culture forward. The Biennale’s spirit of openness and
exploration mirrors, BMWs philosophy of redefining possibility, and we are
delighted to be a part of a movement that enriches India’s cultural landscape.”

The exhibition, the largest contemporary art biennale in South
Asia and the first of its kind in India, unfolds across 29 venues in Fort
Kochi, Mattancherry, Willingdon Islands and Ernakulam. It sits in conversation
with a constellation of exhibitions, performances, and discursive programmes
which are set in close dialogue with Kochi’s unique geographical, social and
cultural ecology.

Embracing process as methodology, this edition places ‘freindship
economies’ as the very scaffolding of the exhibition. The curatorial vision
acknowledges bodies as a landscape of time, a vessel of labour, joy, and loss,
and invites the visitors to think through ‘embodied histories of those that
came before us and continue to live within us in the form of cells, stories and
techniques.

BMW Group India Cultural Engagement
Since its inception, BMW India has participated in
leading cultural engagements across the country. In 2007, two BMW Art Cars
created by world renowned artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein were
presented at the Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai. BMW Art Cars by Andy Warhol,
Jeff Koons, Sandro Chia and Cesar Manrique have been exclusively showcased at
various editions of the India Art Fair. “The Future is Born of Art” is a unique
initiative by BMW India and India Art Fair which aims to propel emerging Indian
artists and further BMW Group’s commitment to promote art, sustainability, and
innovation. In 2012-13, the innovative BMW Guggenheim Lab came to India. Based
at Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum and conducted at six different sites in Mumbai, the
lab organised six weeks of free programme with diverse audience and communities
addressing the challenges and conditions of the urban city.

Since 2012, BMW has partnered with the Kochi-Muziris Biennale,
the contemporary art exhibition, which brings international artists to India
and creates a global platform for Indian artists. This vital and dynamic
partnership has been instrumental in shaping the Biennale into a global
cultural landmark. BMW Group’s continued commitment, even in uncertain times,
highlights the profound belief in the power of art and culture to unite and
inspire.

About the Kochi-Muziris Biennale

Kochi-Muziris Biennale is India’s ﬁrst ever biennial of
international contemporary art and its story is unique to India’s current
reality—its political, social and artistic landscape. It began as a government
initiative, when the Department of Cultural Aﬀairs of Government of Kerala
approached two artists—Riyas Komu and Bose Krishnamachari—to help organize an
international platform for art in India. The challenge was proportionate to the
ambition of the project. A biennial had never gotten past the conceptual stage
in India before. There was no existing infrastructure necessary for an
exhibition of this scale—no spaces and no institutional support structures.

With the support of the government, private patrons, and local
businesses the Biennale found the spaces and opened them up for art. The Indian
art community has been growing rapidly and has been emerging onto the world
stage, and the international arts community oﬀered their support in sending art
and artists to participate in Kochi. Artists became the spokespersons and
activists for the biennale.

About Nikhil Chopra

Nikhil Chopra’s artistic practice interweaves live art, drawing,
photography, sculpture and installations. His performances, in large part
improvised, dwell on identity and its construction, autobiography and
authorship, the pose and

self-portraiture. Nikhil combines everyday life, memory and
collective history; daily acts such as eating, resting, washing and dressing,
in tandem with the act and discipline of making large scale drawings in situ
become the process of making an artwork.

Nikhil’s works have been included in major exhibitions including

<title>Can Airbnb Villas Be a New Investment Class? This Startup Founded by IITians Thinks So &amp; and Has the Numbers to Prove It</title>

<description><![CDATA[ For
decades, real estate has been a slow-moving, capital-heavy investment vehicle -
often limited to HNIs and institutional players. But what if you could earn
25%+ IRR from luxury homes, without owning them?

A
new Indian startup, Spacez,
has introduced its platform EDGE, which is redefining how people invest
in physical assets - not by buying property, but by backing Airbnb-style villa
businesses that generate high-yield cash flows in metro cities.

This
isn’t real estate investing. Its fractional investing in profitable homestay
operations - and Edge by Spacez has the playbook (and numbers) to prove it
works.

The
New Play: Villas as Micro-Hospitality Businesses

Founded
in 2024 by IITians, Spacez leases villas in prime urban locations, transforms
them into luxury homestays, and sells on a per-night basis on its own website,
apps, and other platforms like Airbnb, MMT, and for private bookings.

Each
villa is designed for premium use cases: family stays, corporate off-sites,
brand shoots, weekend getaways, and more. You invest in the capex and setup,
and share the profits.

“We’re
not buying the villas. We lease, renovate, operate, and split the profits with
fractional investors. You’re not owning land, not investing crores but you
still get a chance to earn more than the average rental yield - you’re owning a
piece of a business,” says Hardik Lodha, CEO of Spacez.

Investors
typically come in with ₹3-5 lakhs, taking 1 of 4 slots per villa project, with
returns starting within 3 months of go-live and quarterly pay-outs thereafter.

Over
100 people have already trusted Spacez Edge, and this model, coming from
diverse backgrounds, including early-stage founders, doctors, finance and tech
professionals, and even family offices, all looking for diversification and
high-yield returns without property ownership risk.

Addressing
the most common investor question around consistency of returns, Hardik adds,
“Our edge lies in operational control. We take complete ownership of pricing,
cost efficiency, and day-to-day execution. This allows investors to remain
fully passive while we focus on delivering stable and predictable outcomes
through disciplined operations.” 

“I
didn’t have crores to invest but wanted regular cash flow. Spacez offered
exactly that - a high-yield hospitality model with full transparency,” says
Dixit Jain, an early investor in multiple Spacez Villas.

“This
is the perfect moment for an alternative-yield model like ours,” says Hardik.
“Airbnb-style travel is exploding across Indian cities, and more people now prefer
private villas over hotels for privacy, space, and flexibility. The demand
curve has shifted permanently, and we’re building right at the centre of that
change”.

Scaling
with Precision: 40 Villas and Counting

Spacez
started operations in 2024 and, in just over a year, has scaled to 40 fully
managed villas across Mumbai and Bangalore, with 75%+ occupancy.

The
team is now targeting 400 managed villas across India’s top six cities and is
actively raising capital through fractional investments to fuel the next phase
of growth.

A
New Category: Yield from Branded Hospitality

Spacez
isn’t just a hospitality company. It’s building a new investment category -
where anyone can co-invest in operational luxury villas, access structured
returns, and track performance like a portfolio.

The
team believes this model can unlock financial participation in real assets for
a broader investor base - without the friction and stagnation of traditional
real estate.

<title>IndiaRF Acquires Majority Stake in Shree Digvijay Cement from True North, Marking Entry into Cement Sector</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indiarf-acquires-majority-stake-in-shree-digvijay-cement-from-true-north-marking-entry-into-cement-sector</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, India |
December 19, 2025 : India Resurgence Fund (“IndiaRF”), a leading
India-focused investment platform promoted by Piramal Group &amp; Bain Capital,
has completed the acquisition of a 45.01% equity stake in Shree Digvijay Cement
Company Limited (“SDCCL”). SDCCL is listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE)
and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), and the stake has been acquired from True North
Fund VI LLP (“True North”), for a consideration of up to INR 579 crores. 

IndiaRF has also announced an open offer for
up to 26% equity stake, which is currently awaiting approval from the
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Post completion of transaction
and the open offer, IndiaRF intends to own a controlling stake in Shree
Digvijay Cement. 

IndiaRF currently manages assets and
commitments of approximately US$1.5 billion across diverse sectors. These
investments focus on key India-centric themes such as domestic consumption,
export-driven strategies, and core infrastructure and manufacturing. The
investment in SDCCL is IndiaRF’s second investment from its second fund, which
is presently under fund-raising. 

SDCCL operates a 3.0 million tonnes per annum
(MTPA) cement capacity in Sikka, Gujarat. To strengthen its market presence,
SDCCL has entered into a strategic alliance with Rajkot-based Hi-Bond Cement
(India) Private Limited (“HIBOND”) which has a cement capacity of 2.2 MTPA.
Under the alliance, SDCCL has signed a 10-year exclusive brand usage, supply
&amp; distribution agreement with HIBOND. Further, SDCCL and the promoters of
HIBOND have also entered into an agreement which provides the parties with an
option wherein SDCCL can acquire 100% ownership of HIBOND in the future. Access
to a combined 5.2 MTPA cement capacity in Gujarat positions SDCCL among the
leading cement players in the state.

The acquisition, following approval from the
Competition Commission of India for the SDCCL–Hi-Bond transaction, marks
IndiaRF’s entry into the growing sector and represents the first cement
platform investment by an alternate asset manager in India.

Commenting on the transaction, Shantanu
Nalavadi, Managing Director of IndiaRF, said, “The
Indian cement sector is poised for significant growth, backed by sustained
government-led infrastructure spending and strong housing demand. Given
cement’s strong regional dynamics, this deal firmly positions us in Gujarat,
enabling us to market and sell 5.2 MTPA through SDCCL and Hi-Bond. We aim to
scale this presence through more capacity upgrades, operational improvements,
and dealer network expansion to enhance utilization and competitiveness”

Anil Singhvi, Executive Chairman, Shree
Digvijay Cement Company Limited, added, “With
multiple brands, a 5.2 MTPA footprint, and a legacy dating back to 1944, the
business is well positioned to scale and expand its presence in Gujarat.
Building on the foundation laid by True North and leveraging IndiaRF’s
financial and operational expertise, we are poised to grow SDCCL into a major
regional cement player” 

Srikrishna
Dwaram, Partner, True North said, “Our six-year
partnership with Shree Digvijay Cement has been marked by consistent
operational excellence and disciplined growth. The Indian cement industry is
currently experiencing robust growth; driven by significant infrastructure
projects and rising housing demand. We believe IndiaRF brings the right
resources to guide the company through its next growth phase. We wish the team
all the best as they continue to build on this foundation.”

With
cement demand at approximately 450 MTPA and projected 7–8% CAGR growth, the
industry is undergoing significant consolidation. M&amp;A has long been a
defining feature of the sector, as leading players pursue greater scale and
competitive advantage.

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad,
December 19, 2025 : GHR Infra, Lakshmi Infra, and Urbanblocks
Realty developers further strengthened their realty leadership in Hyderabad by
jointly securing Neopolis Plot 15, a premium 4.03 acre northeast corner land
parcel with two 150 ft road frontages, at the highest bid of ₹151.25 crore per
acre. This bid was part of Phase 3 auction conducted recently by the Hyderabad
Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA). While this is Telangana’s second
highest bid till date and the highest ever in Neopolis so far, the only other higher
bid the state recorded was in October this year, which was in Raidurg,
Hyderabad Knowledge City, at ₹177 crore per acre. 

This
successful bid further consolidates the developers’ presence in Neopolis,
Hyderabad’s futuristic and most closely watched growth corridor. In June this
year, they announced the launch of &quot;The Cascades Neopolis,&quot; a
₹3169-Crore luxury residential project that is set to redefine opulent living
in Hyderabad. This project, with its five 63-storey towers and 217m in height,
is poised to become an iconic landmark, offering a sublime blend of
contemporary design, sustainable living, and home automation systems. Since the
launch, it has seen strong reception from homebuyers and channel partners, who
recognise Neopolis as the next address for high-rise luxury living in
Hyderabad.

“As
responsible and visionary realty developers, with this second successful bid in
Neopolis, we aim to further strengthen our vision for Neopolis and contribute
to this beautiful city, which is certainly ready for realty that prioritises
wellness, sustainability, and design excellence. Three sides of open views,
north-east corner land parcel, dual 150 ft road frontages, easy access, and
ultra-urban context make Neopolis Plot 15 (our newly acquired land parcel) a
rare canvas on which we can explore differentiated product configurations and
deepen our commitment to future-ready realty. Master planning and concept
development for Plot 15 are currently in progress. Details of the proposed
mixed-use development, configurations, and timelines will be shared after
design finalisation and completion of statutory processes,” read a joint
statement released by Mr. Karteesh Reddy M (representing GHR Infra), Mr.
Lakshmi Narayana G (representing Lakshmi Infra), and Mr. Sharat V,
(representing Urbanblocks Realty).

For
the uninitiated, in August 2023, the same developers created a joint
consortium, GHR Lakshmi Urbanblocks Infra LLP, which had won the bid for Plot
14 in Neopolis, a sprawling 7.34 acres land parcel for ₹70 crore per acre. The
Cascades Neopolis, the mega residential project is being built at the same
location with targeted handover to buyers by March 2030. After extensive
research, the leading global realty consultants, UHA London (Concept
Architect), Coopers Hill Singapore (Landscape Architect), Studio HBA Singapore
(interior design – amenities), Buro Happold (UK) (Structural Engineering), and
international concierge services by Quintessentially were roped in with a
vision to create a masterpiece, especially in the areas of social spaces,
wellness, lifestyle, architecture, engineering, landscaping, interiors, and
concierge services.

About
GHR Lakshmi Urbanblocks Infra LLP: GHR Lakshmi
Urbanblocks Infra LLP is a dynamic joint consortium formed by three seasoned
developers – GHR Infra, Lakshmi Infra, and Urbanblocks Realty. Each developer
brings high trust, a strong track record, and extensive expertise in
Hyderabad’s real estate landscape – they are collectively committed to
delivering iconic and sustainable developments that redefine urban living. The
launch of The Cascades, their first project, aligns perfectly with Hyderabad&#039;s
impressive real estate market, particularly within the luxury segment. The
project aims to be unlike no other and will be a testament to harmonious blend
of luxury, technology, sustainability, and an evolved and enriching lifestyle. ]]></description>

•     
Indian Car of the Year 2026 (ICOTY) – Maruti
Suzuki Victoris

•     
Indian Motorcycle of the Year 2026 (IMOTY) –
TVS Apache RTX 300


 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 

 


Dr. Raghupati Singhania, CMD, JK Tyre &amp; Industries and
jury members presented the Indian Car of the Year 2026 Awards

New Delhi,
December 19, 2025 : The ICOTY and IMOTY Awards 2026,
presented by JK Tyre, the long-standing promoter of India’s most
respected automotive awards, took centre stage in New Delhi at one of the
industry’s most anticipated evenings. Widely regarded as the highest benchmarks
of credibility and distinction in the Indian automotive sector, the ICOTY
Awards, now in their 21st year, and the IMOTY Awards, in their 19th year,
recognized vehicles that have most significantly shaped and advanced the
nation’s mobility landscape over the past year.

Dr. Raghupati
Singhania, Chairman and Managing Director, JK Tyre &amp; Industries, along
with ICOTY Chairman Pablo Chaterji, IMOTY Chairman Kartik Ware and the jury,
presented the awards to the winners in the presence of prominent industry
leaders and members of the automotive fraternity.

The Maruti
Suzuki Victoris has been named Indian Car of the Year (ICOTY)
2026, with the TVS Apache RTX 300 taking top honours as
the Indian Motorcycle of the Year (IMOTY) 2026. 


 


Dr. Raghupati
Singhania, Chairman &amp; Managing Director, JK Tyre &amp; Industries Limited,
said, “The evolution of India’s automotive industry is gaining
remarkable transition, as the focus shifts toward sustainable technologies,
intelligent mobility and stronger engineering capabilities. ICOTY and IMOTY
recognises the machines that carry this vision into reality. JK Tyre is
honoured to stand with a platform that rewards forward-looking innovation. What
we have seen this year signals an industry preparing thoughtfully and
confidently for the mobility of tomorrow.” 

The jury also
announced Volkswagen Golf GTI as the winner of the Premium
Car Award 2026, a category introduced in recognition of the growing
premiumisation of India’s automotive industry. Mahindra XEV 9e emerged
as the sixth recipient of the Green Car Award 2026, a category
instituted to spotlight the rising prominence of electric mobility in the
country.

Proudly presented
by JK Tyre since their inception, the ICOTY and IMOTY Awards are evaluated by a
distinguished 27-member jury comprising senior automotive journalists from
India’s most respected publications with a cumulative experience of over 300
years. Inspired by globally renowned awards such as the World Car Awards,
American Car of the Year and the European Car of the Year, each shortlisted car
and motorcycle is assessed through an extensive process covering design,
engineering, safety, performance, comfort, efficiency, technology, value and
overall suitability for Indian conditions. This rigorous methodology continues
to uphold ICOTY and IMOTY as the most trusted and authoritative recognitions of
automotive excellence in the country. 


 


Mr. Pablo
Chaterji, Chairman, ICOTY, said, “There are many automotive awards
in the country, and each has its undoubted merits. Ever since the ICOTY award
was instituted, however, it has taken its place at the top of the podium, in no
small part due to the support of JK Tyre. This is because the jury consists of
the finest automotive journalists in the country, with a combined reviewing
track record of over 300 years. The award process is thoroughly vetted by our
knowledge partner, Deloitte, and is thus scrupulously fair and transparent.
Every OEM is also clear that this award - and its associated awards, IMOTY,
Premium Car and Green Car - is the one that matters most, and I think it would
not be out of place to say that cars in India have become better in part
because OEMs want to win ICOTY, and make every effort to manufacture vehicles
that are worthy of that title.”

Mr. Kartik Ware,
Chairman, IMOTY, said, “IMOTY 2026 has been as diverse and
accomplished as possible, with a number of firsts, including the first-ever
electric motorcycle in the finalists. To celebrate the best motorcycle from
among a lineup of such fantastic machines is not an easy task, but the IMOTY
jury is equal to it - a big thank you to each and every one of them, old and
new. Of course, due credit must also be given to our partner in this
spectacular journey, JK Tyre, for its constant and unwavering support. All of
these attributes make IMOTY the 17-year-old institution it has become, and the
most cherished two-wheeler award in India. Here&#039;s to many more!”

On winning the
ICOTY 2026 Award, Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director &amp; CEO,
Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “We are honoured to receive the
‘Indian Car of the Year 2026’ award for VICTORIS. This SUV was designed to
provide all possible features to today’s new-age customers. It brings togeth ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Mr. Pablo Chaterji, Chairman, ICOTY,</b> said, <i>“There are many automotive awards in the country, and each has its undoubted merits. Ever since the ICOTY award was instituted, however, it has taken its place at the top of the podium, in no small part due to the support of JK Tyre. This is because the jury consists of the finest automotive journalists in the country, with a combined reviewing track record of over 300 years. The award process is thoroughly vetted by our knowledge partner, Deloitte, and is thus scrupulously fair and transparent. Every OEM is also clear that this award - and its associated awards, IMOTY, Premium Car and Green Car - is the one that matters most, and I think it would not be out of place to say that cars in India have become better in part because OEMs want to win ICOTY, and make every effort to manufacture vehicles that are worthy of that title.”</i></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Mr. Kartik Ware, Chairman, IMOTY,</b> said, <i>“IMOTY 2026 has been as diverse and accomplished as possible, with a number of firsts, including the first-ever electric motorcycle in the finalists. To celebrate the best motorcycle from among a lineup of such fantastic machines is not an easy task, but the IMOTY jury is equal to it - a big thank you to each and every one of them, old and new. Of course, due credit must also be given to our partner in this spectacular journey, JK Tyre, for its constant and unwavering support. All of these attributes make IMOTY the 17-year-old institution it has become, and the most cherished two-wheeler award in India. Here's to many more!”</i></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On winning the ICOTY 2026 Award, <b>Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director &amp; CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited,</b> said, <i>“We are honoured to receive the ‘Indian Car of the Year 2026’ award for VICTORIS. This SUV was designed to provide all possible features to today’s new-age customers. It brings together style, technology, safety, and a host of smart innovations. With the strong customer pull and now the coveted ICOTY award, VICTORIS lives up to its promise of ‘Got It All’. We are grateful to the ICOTY jury for this prestigious recognition.”</i></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On winning the IMOTY 2026 Award, <b>Mr. Vimal Sumbly, Head Business - Premium, TVS Motor Company,</b> said, “<i>Being recognised with the JK Tyre’s Indian Motorcycle of the Year award 2026 (IMOTY). This honour reflects a performance legacy shaped by over 40 years of racing excellence and 35 years of rally experience, where every insight has been earned through real-world competition.

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, India – December, 2025 : BrandLoom is proud to
announce that it has won the prestigious MartechAi Awards 2025 for its
exceptional work on the AI-Driven Bridal Launch for Ashley Stewart.

This
award recognises the most innovative, high-impact marketing campaigns executed
using Martech and acknowledges BrandLoom’s exceptional achievement in
delivering the transformative “I Said Yes” bridal launch for Ashley
Stewart, the leading U.S.-based plus-size fashion brand.

The Challenge:
Zero-to-One in a High-Stakes Category

When
Ashley Stewart decided to introduce a bridal line, the brand confronted three
major barriers:

1.
No Bridal Legacy: No history or visibility in bridalwear, a
category rooted in sentiment, trust, and tradition.

2.
Category Saturation: A landscape dominated by entrenched players
with loyal communities and substantial emotional equity.

3.
Urgency of Market Penetration: The launch required immediate traction,
high-intent traffic, and measurable conversions.

BrandLoom’s
role was not just to execute a product debut but to create cultural relevance
and tell every plus-size bride: You belong here, too.

The Award-Winning
Strategy

BrandLoom
engineered a full-funnel, Martech-first strategy that powered the “I Said
Yes” movement. The campaign blended intelligence, precision, and paid media optimization
across every touchpoint:


 AI-Led Insights &amp; Audience Mapping: Advanced tools such as SEMrush, Surfer SEO, and SparkToro were
     used to uncover emotional triggers, search opportunities, and behaviour
     patterns among plus-size brides.
 High-ROAS Paid Media Execution: Programmatic A/B testing, granular Meta segmentation,
     emotion-based creatives, and real-time dashboards delivered exceptional
     returns, including 18.69 ROAS and a $2.88 CPC, powered by
     rigorous paid media optimization.
 Omnichannel Martech Ecosystem: SEO-driven category creation, schema markup, local search optimization, automated GMB updates, behaviour-triggered email flows, and
     affiliate-backed influencer systems integrated seamlessly into a single
     growth engine.
 Tech-Backed Influencer Marketing: BrandLoom deployed tech-backed influencer marketing to select creators based on trust metrics, demographic
     alignment, and niche relevance across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube,
     supported by robust analytics and ROI governance.
 PR, Guest Posts &amp; Backlink
     Syndication: High-authority editorial placements in
     bridal, lifestyle, and fashion categories amplified trust and accelerated
     organic growth.


The Impact: A
Disruptive Category Entry that Won Industry Recognition

The
campaign delivered industry-leading performance and customer engagement results
that ultimately secured the award:

●     
18.69 ROAS on
paid campaigns is remarkable for a new bridal collection

●     
226,000+ unique visitors
to the bridal category pages

●       
Strong online and in-store bridal sales within
the first month

●     
Rapid visibility driven by content, SEO, and local
search optimization

●     
Exceptional social engagement resulting from
authentic, tech-backed influencer marketing

BrandLoom
didn’t just help Ashley Stewart enter the bridal category; it helped the
brand dominate it, earning recognition as the Campaign of the Year.

is validated through impact. Winning the MartechAi Award is a testament to our
belief in uniting Martech, creativity, and emotion to build culturally powerful
brand moments,” said Avinash Chandra, CEO, BrandLoom.

He

launch wasn’t just about metrics. It was about representation, confidence, and
giving plus-size brides the visibility they deserve.”

<description><![CDATA[ Palghar’s Vishal Valvi wins men’s category,
Rakhi Rai tops women’s category at SRTL 100 km Ultra Marathon



Pune : The SRTL Ultra Marathon, organised amid the historic forts of Sinhagad–Rajgad–Torana–Lingana
(SRTL), bearing witness to the legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, concluded
successfully. This year marked the eighth edition of the international-standard
event. In the 100 km men’s category, Vishal Valvi of Palghar clinched the title
with a new record time of 10 hours 09 minutes 40 seconds, while Rakhi Rai
secured first place in the women’s category with a record-breaking performance.
Last year’s 100 km men’s champion Hemant Limbu finished second this year.
Runners from India and abroad delivered impressive performances across various
distance categories, further raising the stature of the race.

 

Held annually along an ancient route starting
from the foothills of Sinhagad and passing through Rajgad and Torana to the
foothills of Lingana, the marathon witnessed participation from athletes
representing nine countries—India, France, England, the United States, South
Korea, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway and Estonia. More than 950 runners
from 24 Indian states and 55 cities took part. The competition was conducted
across four distance categories: 100 km, 53 km, 25 km and 11 km.

 

In the 100 km women’s category, Rakhi Rai
finished first in 18 hours 54 minutes 37 seconds, followed by Snehal Yogita in
second place with 19 hours 39 minutes 55 seconds, and Hema Awale in third with
23 hours 23 minutes 48 seconds. In the 53 km men’s category, Som Bahadur Thami
won with a time of 5 hours 50 minutes 59 seconds, while Sanjay Negi secured
second place and Dnyaneshwar Naik finished third. In the 53 km women’s
category, Summaya Limbu finished first, followed by Urmila Bane in second and
Veena Tadsare in third. In the 25 km category, Raunak Shekhawat topped the
men’s race and Samjna Rai won the women’s race. In the 11 km category, Tanay
Kachare emerged victorious among men, while Surabhi Merukar claimed the women’s
title.

 

Organised by the Western Ghats Running
Foundation, the event featured special arrangements for runner safety, primary
medical care and essential facilities. Winners were felicitated with idols of
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and special mementoes. Foundation president
Digvijay Jedge informed that the Western Ghats Running Foundation is a member
of the International Trail Running Association, and runners who complete the
SRTL Ultra Marathon earn qualifying points for the UTMB in France.

 

The route passing through the forts of
Sinhagad, Rajgad, Torana and Lingana—historic witnesses to the valour of
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his Mavalas—was once used for travel, trade and
agriculture. Today, the marathon inspires people to take time out from busy
lives to run for health and happiness, offering a unique blend of culture,
history and fitness. The event is held annually with the cooperation of the
Maharashtra State Archaeology Department, Forest Department, Tourism
Department, Pune Police and the Pune District Collector’s Office.

 

For the successful organisation of the event,
Foundation president Digvijay Jedhe, trustees Anil Pawar, Mahesh Malusare,
Mandar Mate, Adv. Maruti Gole, Amar Dhumal, Adv. Rajesh Satpute, along with
around 500 volunteers from Daund, Haveli, Rajgad, Mulshi, Shirur talukas and
Pune city, worked tirelessly for 48 hours. The Athletes Training Programme was
led by coach Yogesh Sanap with support from coaches Anant Kachare, Shyamal
Mondal, Chaitanya Velhal and runner Anand Hatwalne. Renowned ultra-runner Taru
Mateti and accomplished runner Padmaraj Doshi were invited as chief guests and
flagged off the race at 6 a.m. from Golewadi.

<description><![CDATA[  

 


 This
     contract represents final engineering milestone, as project advances
     towards beginning of construction 

National, 19 December, 2025 : Loop Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: LOOP), today announced that its
India joint-venture Ester Loop Infinite Technologies Private Limited (ELITe),
formed in partnership with Ester Industries Limited (NSE: ESTER), has awarded
the detailed engineering contract for its Infinite Loop™ India project to Toyo
Engineering India Private Limited, a globally recognized EPC firm with over
four decades of experience executing large-scale industrial and petrochemical
projects across India. This step follows the successful completion of front-end
engineering design (FEED) by Tata Consulting Engineers, and represents the
final engineering phase ahead of construction. 

 

The contract will cover the full scope of detailed
design, procurement engineering, and technical documentation. 

 

The Infinite Loop™ India manufacturing facility is
strategically positioned to address demand in the packaging and textile
sectors, designed with an annual production capacity of 70,000 metric tonnes of
PET resin. The project is maintaining its anticipated construction timeline,
with completion projected for end of 2027. The joint venture recently announced
a multi-year offtake agreement signed with Nike, which is positioned as the
facility’s anchor customer. 

 

Project economics remain strong and confirm prudent
capital discipline; specifically, realized savings of USD 5 million from land
acquisition efforts ensure the facility is trending on budget. Further
signaling strong market confidence, the debt financing process is running as
per schedule, with multiple term sheets received from international lenders,
representing a strong endorsement of the project&#039;s attractive economics. 

 

“We are excited to collaborate with Toyo on this
critical phase as we deliver India’s first Infinite Loop facility, a model for
true circularity, engineered to convert low-value textile and plastic waste
into virgin-quality resin, enabling both textile-to-textile and food-contact
packaging.” said Adel Essaddam, Chief Operating Officer of Loop. “With FEED
complete, land secured, Nike signed as anchor customer and detailed engineering
now underway, we are on schedule to complete construction by end of 2027
efficiently and competitively deploying our technology in the world&#039;s
fastest-growing major economy.” 

 

Commenting on the development, Mr. Arvind Singhania,
Chairman &amp; CEO, Ester Industries Limited, said, “Our detailed engineering
partnership with Toyo marks a meaningful step forward in delivering India’s
first Infinite Loop facility. With the land secured and Nike confirmed as our
anchor customer, the project now stands on a strong technical foundation with
clear commercial visibility. Toyo brings proven engineering expertise, and
together we are moving closer to building a world-class plant that can redefine
PET recycling in India. This phase reinforces our commitment to driving
circular economy solutions at scale.” 

 

“Toyo-I is genuinely delighted to be associated with
ELITe in the execution of the Chemical Recycling PET Project at Bharuch,
Gujarat”, commented Kishor Salunke, Chief Operating Officer (SSBU) of Toyo
Engineering India. “The recycling of PET into monomers and then back to a
virgin quality PET, is a distinctive initiative. It’s a new beginning and in
line with our mission i.e. engineering for sustainable growth of the global
community. We will turn this project into a legacy while strengthening our
business relationship with ELITe.”

<description><![CDATA[  India&#039;s leading blue and grey-collar job platform secures Series B investment
to expand operations and accelerate growth

National,
19 December 2025 : WorkIndia, India&#039;s largest
recruitment platform for blue and grey-collar workers, has raised ₹97
crore in its latest funding round. Aavishkaar Capital led the round
with ₹75 crore, while existing investor BEENEXT Capital invested ₹22
crore.

This
Series B fundraise will be used to upgrade WorkIndia&#039;s technology
platform, improve job matching between employers and candidates, expand into
new high-demand regions, and drive innovation. With sustained profitability,
WorkIndia further cements its position as the category builder in the
blue-collar recruitment space.

Since
its launch, WorkIndia has revolutionised how millions of Indians find work. The
platform connects workers across 50+ job categories, including delivery,
retail, telecalling, field sales, and warehouse operations, with employers
seeking reliable talent.

Beyond
matching job seekers with opportunities, WorkIndia has emerged as a key enabler
for India’s MSMEs, specialising in fast, high-quality hiring solutions tailored
to small businesses. The company operates within a 100M+ blue- and grey-collar
workforce segment that continues to face structural information asymmetry,
particularly in Tier 2/3/4 cities, making WorkIndia’s role even more crucial.

&quot;This
funding comes at the perfect time as we enter our next growth phase,&quot; said
Mr. Nilesh Dungarwal, Co-founder and CEO of WorkIndia. &quot;Blue and
grey-collar workers are the backbone of India&#039;s economy. Our mission is simple,
create a transparent, tech-driven job platform for this workforce. With this
investment, we&#039;ll reach millions more people across the country and make
finding reliable work easier than ever.&quot;

Sanchayan
Chakraborty, Partner at Aavishkaar Capital,
said, &quot;WorkIndia has built a phenomenal, scalable, technology-first
platform that solves a real problem for millions of workers and thousands of
employers. Finding productive jobs for the large and growing blue-collar
workforce is critical for sustained growth and social stability in India, and
WorkIndia is leading the charge in transforming this space. We are excited to
partner with them as they scale nationwide and create meaningful employment
opportunities across India.&quot;

Teruhide
Sato, Founder at BEENEXT, said, we’ve backed WorkIndia since its early
days, and witnessing their journey has been truly remarkable. The team has
executed with discipline, grown responsibly, and has now achieved
profitability. WorkIndia has proven both the strength of its business model and
the depth of its impact, while staying true to its mission. We strongly believe
in their next phase of growth and the path ahead.

WorkIndia
has built a strong investor base since 2015, including BEENEXT Capital, Beenos,
Xiaomi, Persol Venture, SBI Tokyo, Insitor Impact Fund, and Yamauchi Family
Office. In January 2023, the company raised $12 million in a Pre-Series B round
led by SBI Holdings, Yamauchi No.10 Family Office (the founding family of
Nintendo), Persol, and Insitor.

WorkIndia
serves millions of workers across India. With sustained profitability,
WorkIndia is proving that impact and business growth go hand in hand. As the
first profitable startup in the blue-collar recruitment category, the company
is setting new standards for the industry.

With
this fresh capital, WorkIndia is accelerating its expansion across India,
committed to building the country&#039;s most trusted job platform for blue and
grey-collar workers and uplifting millions of livelihoods.

<description><![CDATA[ 19
December 2025 :

●       
Electric vehicles (EVs), solar powered
modernized kitchen facilities to strengthen school nutrition delivery, under
the PM POSHAN programme and state level mid-day meal initiatives

●       
HSBC marks presence in Uttar Pradesh with
launch of the Lucknow branch

●       
HSBC India expands its collaboration with The
Akshaya Patra Foundation in Lucknow, aiming to deliver meals annually to 32,000
students

HSBC
India has expanded its collaboration with The Akshaya Patra Foundation, an
implementing partner of the PM POSHAN programme, to strengthen its ongoing
efforts to support school nutrition delivery for low-income students in
Lucknow. The Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister, Shri. Brajesh Pathak, together with
leadership teams from HSBC India and Akshaya Patra, inaugurated Solar powered
upgraded kitchen and distribution facilities designed to enhance sustainability
and efficiency under the PM POSHAN programme and state-level mid-day meal
initiatives. 

The
initiative was flagged off by the Deputy CM at the newly opened branch of HSBC
India at Vibhuti Khand, Gomti Magar, in the presence of Sandeep Batra, Head of
International Wealth and Premier Banking, HSBC India, and Anil Swarup, Trustee,
the Akshaya Patra Foundation.

The
upgraded facilities include the installation of a 150-kW solar plant, which
provides uninterrupted power, reduces reliance on the grid, and lowers
long-term operating costs. Additionally, five electric vehicles have been
deployed to deliver meals to nearly 1,500 schools, helping to reduce emissions,
cut operational expenses, and ensure reliable distribution. The kitchen has
also been equipped with modern grinders, roti machines, vegetable washing
machines, and rice batching systems, which collectively boost production
capacity, improve food safety and hygiene, and help maintain rigorous
nutritional standards for every meal.

These
upgrades are projected to deliver a carbon reduction of 10,115 kg over the
next decade, aligning with broader environmental goals and setting a
benchmark for sustainable social impact in the region.



Aloka
Majumdar, MD and Head of Sustainability, HSBC India,
said “At HSBC, we believe that nourishing young minds is fundamental to
building a brighter future. Our partnership with The Akshaya Patra Foundation
reflects our commitment to driving positive change, combining innovation,
sustainability, and compassion to ensure that every child has the opportunity
to learn and grow. By investing in sustainable energy, modern transport, and
upgraded kitchen facilities, we’re not just improving operations—we’re
investing in the future of Lucknow’s children.”

Anil
Swarup IAS (Retired), Trustee – The Akshaya Patra Foundation, Former Secretary,
Ministry of Human Resource Department (MHRD), Government of India,
said, &quot;HSBC’s enduring support over the years has enabled us to expand our
reach, enhance operational efficiency, and adopt sustainable practices in our
kitchens. This year’s kitchen upgrades in Lucknow reflect a shared vision—to
nourish children while reducing our environmental footprint. Through this partnership,
we are fostering healthier children, stronger communities, and a more
sustainable future.&quot;

HSBC
India and Akshay Patra Foundation’s partnership has grown year on year. In
2024–25, HSBC India supported the serving of 1,303,324 nutritious mid-day meals
to 29,621 children across 20 locations, including Vadodara, Udaipur, Delhi,
Chittorgarh, Surat, Nathdwara, Srikakulam, Silvassa, Vizag, Varanasi, Bhilwara,
Hyderabad, Nayagarh, Panvel, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhavnagar, Bhubaneshwar, and
Dehradun. In 2022–23, the collaboration facilitated 8,575,829 mid-day meals
across 13 locations, ensuring thousands of children received the daily
nutrition essential for their growth and learning. ]]></description>

<title>Women Entrepreneurs at the Centre of Uttar Pradesh’s Technology&amp;led Livelihood Transformation</title>

<description><![CDATA[  Development Alternatives convenes special exhibition in Lucknow
showcasing women lead enterprises in collaboration with UPSRLM, SEED, DST and
Vigyan Ashram

Lucknow
| 19 December 2025 : Married at a young age in Jhansi, Uttar
Pradesh, Suman Gautam spent years struggling with poverty and limited
opportunities. Through a women&#039;s self-help group, she started small trading
ventures but recognised mobility as her biggest constraint. Learning to drive
an e-rickshaw became her breakthrough - defying social norms to expand her
reach and earning a decent livelihood while building a sanitary pad
distribution network across 30 villages. Suman now is a serial entrepreneur
determined to empower more women, exemplifying how technology has enabled women
to dismantle barriers and create opportunity-driven enterprises.

Suman&#039;s
journey reflects a larger transformation underway across Uttar Pradesh - one shaped
by intentional ecosystem building where government, financial institutions,
technology developers, civil society, and women&#039;s institutions work in concert.
Government initiatives including one of the biggest national schemes ‘Lakhpati
Didi’ mark a progressive approach to development, recognising women drivers
of economic transformation and local growth. These programmes are creating
pathways from subsistence to scalable enterprise through diversified
livelihoods, clean technologies, and access to non-traditional sectors. 

On
18 December 2025, a convening on ‘Livelihood-Centric Technologies for
Promotion of Women-Led Entrepreneurship in Uttar Pradesh’ brought together
diverse actors including government, technology developers, women
entrepreneurs, and sector experts to explore how enterprise-ready technologies
can scale women-run businesses across the state. The event was organised in
collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh State Rural Livelihood Mission (UPSRLM),
the Science for Equity, Empowerment and Development (SEED) Division of the
Department of Science and Technology (DST), Development Alternatives (DA), and
Vigyan Ashram (VA), at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, Lucknow. The event focused on
affordable, adaptable, and scalable solutions across energy, food processing,
water, sanitation, building materials, waste management, and agriculture. An
exhibition showcased innovations including a Biomass Cookstove and Solar Fridge
by Sardar Patel Renewable Energy Research Institute (SPRERI), Solar Hydro
Distiller by IIT Bombay-Rural Technology Action Group (RuTAG), Sabjee Cooler by
RuKart, and Multi-Purpose Food Processor by Kisaan Dharambir, technologies
designed for local conditions, demonstrating practical pathways for value
addition and enterprise growth.

&quot;जब
मैंने शुरुआत की, तो किसी को विश्वास नहीं था कि एक महिला ई-रिक्शा चला सकती है या
व्यवसाय चला सकती है,&quot; shared Suman Gautam, speaking at the event. &quot;लेकिन
तकनीक ने मुझे आज़ादी दी—ई-रिक्शा ने मुझे गतिशीलता दी और सैनिटरी पैड का व्यवसाय ने
मुझे उद्देश्य दिया। आज मैं 30 गांवों में काम करती हूं, लेकिन मेरा सपना बड़ा है।
मैं चाहती हूं कि हर महिला जाने कि गरीबी स्थायी नहीं है, कि हम ऐसे व्यवसाय बना सकते
हैं जो हमारे परिवारों और समुदायों का समर्थन करें।&quot;

Her
voice was one of many women entrepreneurs who shared experiences of building
technology-based businesses, surfacing practical learnings and real-world
challenges during the event. These narratives revealed what works: technology
adoption succeeds when innovations address real constraints women face -
mobility, time poverty, capital intensity, market access. Scaling from pilots
to widespread adoption requires aligning support systems, market linkages, and
financial products with the realities of women-led enterprises. 

Chief
Guest Smt. Deepa Ranjan, IAS, Mission Director, UPSRLM, toured the exhibition
and engaged with women entrepreneurs, exploring how technologies can be
effectively integrated into livelihood programmes. The roundtable discussion on
&quot;Scaling Innovations and Breaking Barriers&quot; examined what it takes to
move innovations from pilots to adoption at scale. The conversation underscored
that technology alone is insufficient; sustainable transformation requires the
alignment of institutional finance, skills development, peer networks, and
market access around women&#039;s entrepreneurial potential.

The
event advanced this agenda by strengthening collaboration between UPSRLM and
the SEED Division of DST, connecting rural livelihood institutions with
socially relevant technologies supported under the national TAP-RISE (Technology
Acceleration Platform for Rural Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship)
initiative. Technology spotlight sessions offered insights into
enterprise-ready solutions across energy, water and sanitation, and
agriculture, while networking interactions built concrete linkages between
women&#039;s institutions, technology providers, and support organisations.

Women

<p><span>Development Alternatives convenes special exhibition in Lucknow showcasing women lead enterprises in collaboration with UPSRLM, SEED, DST and Vigyan Ashram</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Lucknow | 19 December 2025</span></b><span lang="EN"><b> :</b> Married at a young age in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, Suman Gautam spent years struggling with poverty and limited opportunities. Through a women's self-help group, she started small trading ventures but recognised mobility as her biggest constraint. Learning to drive an e-rickshaw became her breakthrough - defying social norms to expand her reach and earning a decent livelihood while building a sanitary pad distribution network across 30 villages. Suman now is a serial entrepreneur determined to empower more women, exemplifying how technology has enabled women to dismantle barriers and create opportunity-driven enterprises.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Suman's journey reflects a larger transformation underway across Uttar Pradesh - one shaped by intentional ecosystem building where government, financial institutions, technology developers, civil society, and women's institutions work in concert. Government initiatives including one of the biggest national schemes ‘<i>Lakhpati Didi’</i> mark a progressive approach to development, recognising women drivers of economic transformation and local growth. These programmes are creating pathways from subsistence to scalable enterprise through diversified livelihoods, clean technologies, and access to non-traditional sectors. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">On 18 December 2025, a convening on <b>‘Livelihood-Centric Technologies for Promotion of Women-Led Entrepreneurship in Uttar Pradesh’</b> brought together diverse actors including government, technology developers, women entrepreneurs, and sector experts to explore how enterprise-ready technologies can scale women-run businesses across the state. The event was organised in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh State Rural Livelihood Mission (UPSRLM), the Science for Equity, Empowerment and Development (SEED) Division of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Development Alternatives (DA), and Vigyan Ashram (VA), at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, Lucknow. The event focused on affordable, adaptable, and scalable solutions across energy, food processing, water, sanitation, building materials, waste management, and agriculture. An exhibition showcased innovations including a Biomass Cookstove and Solar Fridge by Sardar Patel Renewable Energy Research Institute (SPRERI), Solar Hydro Distiller by IIT Bombay-Rural Technology Action Group (RuTAG), Sabjee Cooler by RuKart, and Multi-Purpose Food Processor by Kisaan Dharambir, technologies designed for local conditions, demonstrating practical pathways for value addition and enterprise growth.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">"जब मैंने शुरुआत की, तो किसी को विश्वास नहीं था कि एक महिला ई-रिक्शा चला सकती है या व्यवसाय चला सकती है," shared Suman Gautam, speaking at the event. "लेकिन तकनीक ने मुझे आज़ादी दी—ई-रिक्शा ने मुझे गतिशीलता दी और सैनिटरी पैड का व्यवसाय ने मुझे उद्देश्य दिया। आज मैं 30 गांवों में काम करती हूं, लेकिन मेरा सपना बड़ा है। मैं चाहती हूं कि हर महिला जाने कि गरीबी स्थायी नहीं है, कि हम ऐसे व्यवसाय बना सकते हैं जो हमारे परिवारों और समुदायों का समर्थन करें।"</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Her voice was one of many women entrepreneurs who shared experiences of building technology-based businesses, surfacing practical learnings and real-world challenges during the event. These narratives revealed what works: technology adoption succeeds when innovations address real constraints women face - mobility, time poverty, capital intensity, market access. Scaling from pilots to widespread adoption requires aligning support systems, market linkages, and financial products with the realities of women-led enterprises. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Chief Guest Smt. Deepa Ranjan, IAS, Mission Director, UPSRLM, toured the exhibition and engaged with women entrepreneurs, exploring how technologies can be effectively integrated into livelihood programmes. The roundtable discussion on "Scaling Innovations and Breaking Barriers" examined what it takes to move innovations from pilots to adoption at scale. The conversation underscored that technology alone is insufficient; sustainable transformation requires the alignment of institutional finance, skills development, peer networks, and market access around women's entrepreneurial potential.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The event advanced this agenda by strengthening collaboration between UPSRLM and the SEED Division of DST, connecting rural livelihood institutions with socially relevant technologies supported under the national TAP-RISE (Technology Acceleration Platform for Rural Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship) initiative. Technology spotlight sessions offered insights into enterprise-ready solutions across energy, water and sanitation, and agriculture, while networking interactions built concrete linkages between women's institutions, technology providers, and support organisations.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Women like Suman are not just participating in Uttar Pradesh's economy - they are reshaping it. By bringing together science, technology, and rural enterprise systems, the convening demonstrated that when government, technology developers, financial institutions, and women entrepreneurs work as partners, innovation translates into sustainable livelihoods and inclusive economic growth.</span></p>

the ‘Central Customer Walkway’. A dedicated single entry ensures
a clear entry point, making it easier to navigate the dealership seamlessly to
address sales or service queries. Visitors entering the showroom receive a
personal and warm welcome at the Welcome Stand instead of a traditional
reception counter, thus reducing the physical barrier between them and
dealership staff. The Multifunction Counter acts as a secondary interactive
spot in addition to welcome stands and can be used for Parts &amp; Accessories
sales or as a cashier desk for new or pre-owned car sales. TheCentral
Customer Walkway helps visitors navigate the showroom through an impressive
array of premium luxury vehicles. The Central Customer Hospitality area
– The BMW Bar &amp; Lounge in the center provides a perfect area to
relax and grab a drink during the visit. Retail.NEXT integrates Parts &amp;
Accessories and Lifestyle collection in the showroom and is now placed close to
the Central Hospitality. Additionally, a fully accessorized highlight car
creates a ‘Wow-Effect’ at the dealership.

The Customer Consultation Stages are located
strategically throughout the showroom. The service consultation takes place
where the client wants it and what fits the situation. The unique living
room atmosphere and the cozy positioning of the seating close to cars
creates a relaxed environment for consultation. Personal Service Advisor
(PSA) and BMW Geniuses are equipped with innovative digital sales
tools to provide comprehensive information on product features and services.

The Sales and Service Consultancy Lounges offer dedicated
areas for situations that require a higher degree of privacy for discussion on
different aspects such as financing, leasing, aftersales service, etc.

The Multifunctional Handover Bay is dedicated to all
handover processes for new cars, pre-owned cars, and is also an ideal starting
point for test drives. Its relaxed lounge atmosphere is designed to make new
car deliveries a memorable experience.

The back-office setup provides the dealership staff a dedicated
space for effectively carrying out the administrative work and phone calls.

Additionally, the Retail.NEXT showroom is a perfect
orchestration of various measures such as lighting, sound, temperature, product
staging, and décor. Different lighting experiences and décor elements create a
cozy homely atmosphere across all touchpoints such as furniture, cars, etc.

<title>Axis Max Life Insurance partners with Khyaal to Strengthen Retirement Readiness for Senior Citizens in Mumbai</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
December 19, 2025 : Axis Max Life Insurance Limited (“Axis Max
Life” / “Company”), formerly known as Max Life Insurance Company Limited,
strengthened its commitment to building a retirement-ready India by partnering
with Khyaal, an app for senior citizens, as an investment and insurance
partner for Khyaal 50Above50 event held recently in Mumbai. 

The
two-day celebration brought together over 5,500 senior citizens and their
families, a vibrant hub of engagement, education, and empowerment for India&#039;s
50+ community. Axis Max Life supported Khyaal’s initiative by engaging senior
citizens and educating them about the importance of financial preparedness,
long-term planning and the role of life insurance in enabling a secure and
confident retirement. 

The
event also focused on comprehensive financial readiness for retirement,
featuring interactive activities and information about long-term planning. It
highlighted the opportunities available to seniors looking for a &quot;Grand
Transition&quot; into their next great chapter, inviting them to become Life
Advisors and offering the interactive ‘Ring Your Retirement’ game. 

The
event generated considerable lead interest for retirement planning solutions
and advisor recruitment, demonstrating the strong synergy between Axis Max
Life&#039;s offerings and Khyaal’s engaged community. Building on this shared
commitment to retirement preparedness, Axis Max Life recently released the
fifth edition of its India Retirement Index Study (IRIS), a proprietary study
conducted in partnership with Kantar that evaluates retirement readiness across
financial, health and emotional pillars. 

According
to the findings, Western India’s Retirement Index rose to 50 in IRIS 5.0, up
from 46 in IRIS 2.0. This growth was driven by proactive health management,
greater financial product adoption and earlier planning behaviour among the
population. However, the study also noted that emotional readiness remains a
significant concern, with 70% of respondents in Western India expressing
anxiety around loneliness and financial dependence during retirement. 

Khyaal’s
community-led event supported this need by combining annuity education with
meaningful in-person social experiences. 

Anurag
Gupta, Chief Business Officer and Head of Retirement, Axis Max Life Insurance,
said: “IRIS 5.0 clearly shows that consumers are beginning to view retirement
in a more holistic manner, with stronger focus on early planning, disciplined
investing and overall wellbeing. What matters equally is the environment in
which these conversations take place. Through our partnership with Khyaal, we
have been able to engage senior citizens in a warm and personal setting that
blends retirement awareness with genuine community connection. This is the kind
of engagement that creates lasting impact and strengthens our commitment to
building a purpose-led retirement ecosystem for India.” 

Hemanshu
Jain, Founder &amp; CEO of Khyaal, added: “Khyaal 50Above50 event was about
celebrating the vibrancy and potential of India&#039;s senior community. Partnering
with Axis Max Life allowed us to combine this celebration with critical
financial education, ensuring our senior citizens have both the confidence and
the knowledge to design their next great chapter. This is exactly the kind of
meaningful partnership that enriches the Khyaal ecosystem.” 

Axis
Max Life Insurance Limited, formerly known as Max Life Insurance Company
Limited, is a joint venture between Max Financial Services Limited (“MFSL”) and
Axis Bank Limited. Axis Max Life Insurance offers comprehensive protection and
long-term savings life insurance solutions through its multi-channel
distribution, including agency and third-party distribution partners. It has
built its operations over two decades through a need-based sales process, a
customer-centric approach to engagement and service delivery and trained human
capital. As per annual audited financials for FY2024-25, Axis Max Life
Insurance has achieved a gross written premium of INR 33,223 Cr. Axis Max Life
Insurance has recently transitioned to a new domain https://www.axismaxlife.com
as part of its rebranding exercise. This migration has no impact on existing
policyholders who will continue to receive all policy benefits and services as
earlier. 

About
Khyaal:

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Mumbai, December 19, 2025 </span></b><span lang="EN"><b>:</b> Axis Max Life Insurance Limited (“Axis Max Life” / “Company”), formerly known as Max Life Insurance Company Limited, strengthened its commitment to building a retirement-ready India by partnering with <b>Khyaal,</b> an app for senior citizens, as an investment and insurance partner for Khyaal <i>50Above50 </i>event held recently in Mumbai. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The two-day celebration brought together over 5,500 senior citizens and their families, a vibrant hub of engagement, education, and empowerment for India's 50+ community. Axis Max Life supported Khyaal’s initiative by engaging senior citizens and educating them about the importance of financial preparedness, long-term planning and the role of life insurance in enabling a secure and confident retirement. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The event also focused on comprehensive financial readiness for retirement, featuring interactive activities and information about long-term planning. It highlighted the opportunities available to seniors looking for a "Grand Transition" into their next great chapter, inviting them to become Life Advisors and offering the interactive ‘Ring Your Retirement’ game. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The event generated considerable lead interest for retirement planning solutions and advisor recruitment, demonstrating the strong synergy between Axis Max Life's offerings and Khyaal’s engaged community. Building on this shared commitment to retirement preparedness, Axis Max Life recently released the fifth edition of its India Retirement Index Study (IRIS), a proprietary study conducted in partnership with Kantar that evaluates retirement readiness across financial, health and emotional pillars. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">According to the findings, Western India’s Retirement Index rose to 50 in IRIS 5.0, up from 46 in IRIS 2.0. This growth was driven by proactive health management, greater financial product adoption and earlier planning behaviour among the population. However, the study also noted that emotional readiness remains a significant concern, with 70% of respondents in Western India expressing anxiety around loneliness and financial dependence during retirement. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Khyaal’s community-led event supported this need by combining annuity education with meaningful in-person social experiences. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Anurag Gupta, Chief Business Officer and Head of Retirement, Axis Max Life Insurance, said: “IRIS 5.0 clearly shows that consumers are beginning to view retirement in a more holistic manner, with stronger focus on early planning, disciplined investing and overall wellbeing. What matters equally is the environment in which these conversations take place. Through our partnership with Khyaal, we have been able to engage senior citizens in a warm and personal setting that blends retirement awareness with genuine community connection. This is the kind of engagement that creates lasting impact and strengthens our commitment to building a purpose-led retirement ecosystem for India.” </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Hemanshu Jain, Founder &amp; CEO of Khyaal, added: “Khyaal 50Above50 event was about celebrating the vibrancy and potential of India's senior community. Partnering with Axis Max Life allowed us to combine this celebration with critical financial education, ensuring our senior citizens have both the confidence and the knowledge to design their next great chapter. This is exactly the kind of meaningful partnership that enriches the Khyaal ecosystem.” </span></p>

<title>Rahul Chakrapani Is Building Scalable Business Models for Farmers in South India</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rahul-chakrapani-is-building-scalable-business-models-for-farmers-in-south-india</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rahul-chakrapani-is-building-scalable-business-models-for-farmers-in-south-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For over a decade, conversations around Indian farmers have
largely revolved around distress, debt, and dependence. Rahul Chakrapani chose a different path—one that moves beyond sympathy and into sustainable
economic empowerment.

Today, Rahul Chakrapani is recognized as a leading voice for farmers across Kerala,
Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, not because he speaks about them, but
because he has spent the last 12 years building businesses that work for
them. He currently serves as the President of SEFAI (Self Employed
Farmers Association of India), one of the prominent farmer associations in
South India, representing thousands of farmers across agriculture, fisheries,
dairy, and allied rural sectors.

A Mission
Rooted in Agriculture

Rahul’s commitment to farmers is deeply personal. Born into a
family with strong agricultural roots in rural Kannur, Kerala, he grew
up witnessing the realities of farming—hard labour, unpredictable income, and
limited market access. Farming was not merely an occupation in his household;
it was an inherited responsibility passed down through generations.

From an early age, Rahul developed a belief that would later
define his life’s work: when farmers stop farming, humanity cannot survive.
For him, agriculture was never just an economic activity—it was the foundation
of society itself.

As a young entrepreneur, Rahul found early success in business.
But instead of separating success from social responsibility, he chose to align
the two. He understood early on that charity could not solve structural
problems in farming. Sustainability requires systems, markets, and long-term economic participation.

From
Advocacy to Action

Rather than limiting himself to activism or representation, Rahul
focused on building enterprises that address specific gaps within farming
communities. Over the years, he identified high-impact segments where
intervention could create measurable change.



Empowering
Hill Farmers Through Direct Market Access

Farmers in the hilly regions of South India often struggle with
market isolation and poor pricing due to logistical challenges. To bridge this
gap, Rahul established Hill Producers Outlet Units—a model designed to
directly source hill produce from farmers and connect them to reliable markets.

Today, these units have scaled to 14 operational locations
across Kerala and Karnataka. Beyond procurement, the model supports farmers
with pricing stability, logistics coordination, and market facilitation. For
many hill farmers, this initiative has meant predictable income and reduced
dependence on intermediaries.

Supporting
Fisherfolk and Women-Led Communities

Rahul’s work also extends to coastal communities. Recognising the
vulnerability of fisherfolk—particularly women—he built a business ecosystem to
support fishing communities in Kerala and Karnataka.

This initiative focuses on end-to-end support, including financial
assistance, direct procurement, marketing, and export of dried fish products.
Special emphasis is placed on women empowerment, enabling women from
fishing communities to participate actively in income-generating activities
rather than remaining on the economic margins.

Strengthening
Inland Fish Farming

Inland and tank-based fish farming has emerged as a significant
livelihood across South India. Rahul’s enterprises support farmers engaged in
this segment by providing market access and business support.

Currently, the initiative works with more than 3,000 customers
involved in fish farming, helping them scale production while ensuring
sustainable market linkages.

Transforming
Dairy Farming Economics

Dairy farmers often operate under cost pressure and fluctuating
returns. To address this, Rahul developed a support system for livestock and
dairy farmers across 14 units in Kerala, with a particular focus on South
Kerala.

Through the distribution of cattle feed at subsidised rates and
consistent procurement models, his initiatives support over 10,000 dairy
farmers, helping them reduce input costs and stabilise income.

To further strengthen value creation, Rahul launched Cochin
Dairy, a farmer-first brand focused on traditional dairy products. The
brand sources directly from 150+ active milk producers, producing
homemade ghee from real cow milk while ensuring ethical pricing and transparent
sourcing.

Building
Farmer-Centric Retail Networks

Completing the ecosystem is a network of Farmer’s Mart
supermarkets across Kerala and Karnataka. These supermarkets operate on a
simple but powerful principle—local farmers supply local markets.

With seven operational Farmer’s Marts, the model supports
approximately 700 to 1,000 farmers every month, offering them direct
retail access and better margins while supplying consumers with traceable,
locally sourced products.

Leadership
That Delivers Results

Across agriculture, fisheries, dairy, and r ]]></description>

<title>Inside Rajasthan’s First ZED Gold Food Manufacturing Unit: The Qoot Success Story</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Alwar (Rajasthan) [India], December 18: Rajasthan has emerged as an important contributor to India’s expanding food manufacturing sector, and at the centre of this transformation is Qoot Food Limited. As the first food company in the state to earn the prestigious ZED Gold Certification under the MSME Sustainable ZED Scheme, Qoot represents a new benchmark in quality, compliance, and responsible food production. The company’s journey reflects how the right systems, standards, and manufacturing discipline can elevate both traditional Indian snacks and modern healthy formats for growing consumer demand in India and abroad.A Manufacturing Philosophy Rooted in Quality and ResponsibilityQoot Food Limited has built its reputation on a clear principle: good food must balance taste, nutrition, safety, and consistency. Achieving ZED Gold Certification is a direct reflection of this philosophy. The certification assesses multiple dimensions of manufacturing excellence, including hygiene, sustainability practices, waste reduction, process control, and quality assurance. For a food company, these parameters are especially significant. They determine whether a product remains safe across batches, travels well across markets, and offers consumers the same experience every time.At its manufacturing facility in Alwar, Qoot operates with documented processes that ensure each step of production, from raw material handling to final packaging, follows strict quality norms. The company’s compliance culture extends to globally recognised frameworks such as ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System and FDA registration. These layers of quality governance allow Qoot to confidently serve not only domestic markets but also export-focused partners looking for reliable manufacturing depth.A Wide and Evolving Product Range Designed for Modern ConsumersQoot’s manufacturing strength is evident in its diverse product portfolio, which blends bakery tradition with the rising preference for healthier, functional snacking. The company produces classic bakery cookies, a popular category in both mass and premium segments. Alongside these, Qoot has built specialised capabilities in healthy cookies, including gluten-free variants, sugar-free lines, and millet honey cookies crafted to align with modern nutritional habits.Beyond cookies, Qoot has invested in the rapidly expanding category of healthy baked puffs. This includes high-protein millet puffs, low sodium chickpea puffs, multigrain puffs, and quinoa puffs, each formulated to offer healthier alternatives to conventional fried snacks. These products require precision-driven production methods where roasting profiles, moisture levels, and ingredient integrity must be managed with scientific accuracy. Qoot’s facility is equipped to maintain this level of consistency, ensuring that baked snacks remain crisp, nutritionally stable, and free from processing-related imbalances.How ZED Gold Certification Shapes Everyday ManufacturingThe ZED Gold framework is not just an achievement but an operational guide that influences how Qoot runs its day-to-day manufacturing. It encourages disciplined sourcing, reduced wastage, improved energy efficiency, and data-backed decision-making on the factory floor. For food manufacturing, this leads to cleaner transitions between batches, better allergen handling, and more predictable shelf stability.For products like gluten-free cookies or chickpea-based puffs, even a minor deviation in ingredient quality or moisture handling can impact texture, taste, and longevity. ZED-aligned processes reduce this risk by establishing clear parameters and continuous monitoring. As a result, Qoot can confidently serve brands that expect consistent results across large-scale orders and diverse product lines.A Trusted Partner for Private Label and Contract ManufacturingThe rise of new snack brands in India has created high demand for manufacturing partners that can offer not just capacity but credibility. Qoot Food Limited has become a preferred choice for many retailers and D2C brands because its systems are built to support long-term scalability. Private-label clients rely on Qoot for controlled production, clean processing, and the ability to develop products across categories without compromising quality.The company supports recipe development, packaging integration, and compliance management for its partners. This end-to-end approach allows brands to introduce new variants, enter modern trade, or expand into export markets without the operational burden of handling manufacturing themselves. Qoot’s experience with both established retailers and emerging startups has given the company a deep understanding of how product formulations must adapt to diverse consumer segments and retail channels.Where Innovation Meets Traditional StrengthsIndian consumers increasingly expect snacks that combine familiar flavours with better nutritional profiles. This is where Qoot’s R&amp;D capabilities play ]]></description>

<h2 dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">How ZED Gold Certification Shapes Everyday Manufacturing</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">The ZED Gold framework is not just an achievement but an operational guide that influences how </span><a href="http://qoot.food/"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Qoot</span></a><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> runs its day-to-day manufacturing. It encourages disciplined sourcing, reduced wastage, improved energy efficiency, and data-backed decision-making on the factory floor. For food manufacturing, this leads to cleaner transitions between batches, better allergen handling, and more predictable shelf stability.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">For products like gluten-free cookies or chickpea-based puffs, even a minor deviation in ingredient quality or moisture handling can impact texture, taste, and longevity. ZED-aligned processes reduce this risk by establishing clear parameters and continuous monitoring. As a result, Qoot can confidently serve brands that expect consistent results across large-scale orders and diverse product lines.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">A Trusted Partner for Private Label and Contract Manufacturing</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">The rise of new snack brands in India has created high demand for manufacturing partners that can offer not just capacity but credibility. Qoot Food Limited has become a preferred choice for many retailers and D2C brands because its systems are built to support long-term scalability. Private-label clients rely on Qoot for controlled production, clean processing, and the ability to develop products across categories without compromising quality.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">The company supports recipe development, packaging integration, and compliance management for its partners. This end-to-end approach allows brands to introduce new variants, enter modern trade, or expand into export markets without the operational burden of handling manufacturing themselves. Qoot’s experience with both established retailers and emerging startups has given the company a deep understanding of how product formulations must adapt to diverse consumer segments and retail channels.</span></p>
<p><span><span> </span></span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Where Innovation Meets Traditional Strengths</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Indian consumers increasingly expect snacks that combine familiar flavours with better nutritional profiles. This is where Qoot’s R&amp;D capabilities play a meaningful role. Whether it is creating millet honey cookies, developing sugar-free formulations, or perfecting high-protein puffs, innovation within Qoot’s facility relies on scientific testing rather than trial-and-error methods. Shelf-life studies, sensory evaluation, and controlled production trials ensure that new products remain viable across real-world conditions.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">At the same time, Qoot stays anchored to India’s culinary traditions, ensuring that products inspired by regional tastes retain their authenticity. This balance between tradition and innovation has allowed the company to build strong internal competencies that few manufacturing units in the region possess.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">A Model for Sustainable and Compliant Food Manufacturing</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Sustainability is an important part of the ZED Gold framework, and Qoot has embedded it into production planning, waste management, and energy use. The company monitors material utilisation closely to reduce losses during mixing, shaping, and baking. Efficient heat management in ovens and controlled airflow systems contribute to lower energy consumption per batch. Packaging selection is also managed responsibly to maintain product stability while minimising environmental impact whenever feasible.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Compliance remains a parallel priority. With ISO 22000 FSMS and FDA registration in place, Qoot ensures traceability from raw ingredients to finished goods. This builds trust among export-oriented clients that depend on consistent documentation, clean processing, and audit-ready systems.</span></p>
<p><span><span> </span></span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">A Growth Story That Reflects India’s Evolving Snack Market</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">India is now one of the world’s most dynamic markets for baked and healthy snacks. The shift toward multigrain cookies, millet-based products, and protein-rich puffs mirrors a deeper preference for foods that offer both enjoyment and nourishment. Qoot’s specialised capabilities position the company at the centre of this transformation.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Its production of gluten-free cookies, millet honey cookies, sugar-free options, and healthy baked puffs aligns directly with rising consumer expectations across urban markets, export destinations, and modern trade formats. The company’s combination of strong compliance, controlled processes, and product innovation has made it a benchmark for manufacturing excellence in Rajasthan and beyond.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Conclusion</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://qoot.food/"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Qoot Food Limited</span></a><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">’s journey as Rajasthan’s first ZED Gold food manufacturing unit highlights what modern Indian food companies can achieve when quality systems guide operational decision-making. The company’s ability to produce a broad range of bakery cookies, healthy cookies, and nutrient-forward baked puffs reflects both technical capability and a clear understanding of market needs. As consumer demand continues to shift toward cleaner, healthier, and more reliable snack options, Qoot stands as an example of how disciplined manufacturing can support long-term industry growth. Its success story is not just about certifications or capacity but about building a manufacturing foundation that consistently delivers safe, thoughtful, and well-crafted products to the market.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, 18 December 2025:  India’s job market closed 2025 on a strong note, recording a
+23% year-on-year increase in hiring activity, according to the foundit
insights tracker (fit) by leading jobs and talent platform, foundit. This surge
reflects robust employer confidence, steady recruitment across major
industries, and the rising prominence of Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities as strategic
talent hubs. However, growth in the second half of the year moderated to +4%
over six months, indicating a shift toward more calibrated, productivity-led
hiring.

 

“2025 shaped up as a year of strong expansion but
disciplined hiring. We witnessed the decentralisation of talent, with Tier-2
hubs becoming operational anchors for tech, BFSI, logistics and retail,” said Anupama Bhimrajka, VP, Marketing, foundit. “As
we head into 2026, demand for AI-ready skills, strategic leadership, and
mid-career digital talent will keep momentum high despite measured intake in
some sectors.”

 

HIRING TRENDS FOR 2025

 

NPOs, Consumer Electronics, and Healthcare &amp;
Pharmaceuticals Emerge as the Fastest-Growing Industries (YoY)

 

With 24 out of 27 industries reporting a surge in
recruitment activity over the past year, the data points to a broad-based
revival in hiring sentiment. 

 

•        
Non-Profit Organisations
(NPOs) emerged as the fastest-growing sector, with
hiring up 55% YoY, reflecting rising demand for impact-led roles

•        
Consumer Electronics (+53%) and Healthcare &amp; Pharmaceuticals (+45%) saw
strong momentum, driven by manufacturing expansion and healthcare demand

•        
Core sectors such as Manufacturing
(+39%), Logistics &amp; Transportation (+37%), and Construction
&amp; Engineering (+34%) recorded steady growth, signalling infrastructure
and supply-chain strength

•        
Services-led sectors
including Media &amp; Entertainment (+36%), Retail
(+34%), and BFSI (+27%) continued to expand alongside consumer
demand and digital adoption

 

Beyond the headline growth sectors, this momentum
underscores how India’s job market is being powered by a mix of impact-led
roles, manufacturing expansion and digital-first business models reflecting a
labour market that is not just recovering but evolving at speed.

 

Senior Management and IT Lead India’s Functional
Hiring Growth

 

With 11 of 13 functions reporting sustained annual
growth, 2025 marks a clear revival in demand for specialised and leadership
talent. Senior Management and IT roles are seeing the strongest momentum,
driven by digital transformation, strategic expansion and the rise of
AI-enabled business models. 

 

•        
Senior Management roles saw the strongest growth at +39% YoY,
highlighting demand for strategic and transformation leadership

•        
IT hiring rose 30% YoY, supported by digital modernisation
and AI-led initiatives

•        
Corporate support functions
recorded healthy growth, led by HR &amp; Admin (+33%) and Finance
&amp; Accounting (+25%)

•        
Sales &amp; Business
Development (+23%) remained resilient as companies
focused on revenue and market expansion

•        
Creative and specialist roles,
including Marketing &amp; Communications (+14%) and Legal
(+12%), saw steady but selective hiring

 

The surge in mid-to-senior level hiring across HR,
Finance and Sales indicates that companies are prioritising experienced
professionals who can steer execution, strengthen governance and accelerate
technology adoption in a rapidly evolving market.

 

Tier-2 Cities Lead India’s Next Wave of Job Market
Growth

 

India’s job market in 2025 shows strong geographic
momentum, with Tier-2 cities like Coimbatore and Ahmedabad emerging as
high-growth talent hubs.  

 

•        
Tier-2 cities emerged as high-growth talent hubs, led by Coimbatore
(+24%) and Ahmedabad (+19%), reflecting decentralised hiring
strategies

•        
Bengaluru (+23%) and Hyderabad (+21%) continued to anchor
national hiring, driven by tech, manufacturing, and BFSI demand

•        
Mumbai (+22%) and Pune (+19%) reinforced their strength in finance,
consumer-facing, and enterprise roles

 

Overall, 2025 saw hiring momentum spread beyond
traditional metros, signalling a more distributed and cost-optimised talent
model. The varied growth patterns across cities reflect a more distributed
hiring landscape, with companies widening their talent search beyond
traditional metros to support scale and regional market penetration.

 

Experience Levels: Mid-Senior Talent Gains Ground

YoY, underscoring demand for execution-ready talent

years) grew 19% YoY, reflecting
continued entry-level intake

•        
Hiring for 4–6 years
experience roles rose 15% YoY, indicating steady mid-level demand

•

<title>Where Winter Meets Luxury: Indians Turn to Switzerland for Dream Getaways</title>

<description><![CDATA[  Switzerland
Tourism reports 10.6% growth from India in 2024, with 660,640 overnight stays
making India into the top 10 of the foreign markets 

Mumbai, Wednesday 18th December 2025: Switzerland is witnessing a powerful surge in winter travel from
India, emerging as one of the most aspirational seasons for Indian
holidaymakers. Strengthened by a 10.6% year-on-year growth in 2024,
India generated 660,640 overnight stays in Switzerland last year, a
clear sign of the country’s rising appeal across all seasons. With Indian
travellers increasingly seeking meaningful, luxurious, and immersive journeys,
winter is fast becoming the favourite time to experience Switzerland’s pristine
alpine magic.

 

More Indians are now choosing Switzerland’s
snow-draped landscapes, luxurious alpine stays, iconic winter traditions, and
exclusive outdoor adventures over conventional holiday hotspots. The
December–March period is particularly seeing strong traction as we observed a
growth of +21.8% in hotel overnights from Indian guests last winter season,
fuelled by demand for powdery ski slopes, festive Christmas markets, charming
alpine villages, and serene nature-led escapes.

 

Travellers are also venturing beyond classics
like Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken, St. Moritz, Engelberg Titlis, and
Zermatt, exploring quieter winter gems such as LAAX, Crans-Montana
and Gstaad, destinations that offer world-class experiences away from
crowds, along with rich local culture and sustainable, slow-paced travel.

 

This rising fascination with Switzerland’s winter
season perfectly mirrors India’s growing appetite for luxury experiential
travel. Post-pandemic, the luxury segment has expanded rapidly, with the latest
TMS survey revealing that 17.7% of individual Indian guests now opt for
five-star hotels, compared to 8.4% of overall guests in Switzerland. The desire
for indulgent yet meaningful journeys balancing exclusivity with nature,
wellness, and culture is shaping how Indians engage with Switzerland in winter.

Today’s Indian traveller seeks personalised
itineraries and high-comfort luxury, and Switzerland delivers some of its most
indulgent experiences during winter. From private chalets with panoramic alpine
views, world-class wellness sanctuaries, Michelin-starred mountain dining, and
glacier adventures to luxury watch ateliers, premium shopping, and scenic train
journeys, the country offers an unforgettable blend of thrill and tranquillity.

 

Switzerland’s most sought-after winter luxury
experiences include:


 Iconic
     five-star alpine hotels in St. Moritz, Zermatt, Lucerne, and Zurich
 Private
     chalets and exclusive ski-in ski-out resorts
 Curated
     winter sports: skiing, snowshoeing, glacier hikes, sledging
 Michelin-starred
     dining and gourmet mountain restaurants
 Luxury
     watch ateliers and boutique shopping experiences
 Bespoke
     winter excursions and premium guided adventures
 Scenic
     luxury trains such as the Glacier Express and Bernina Express


 

“Winter is a season where travellers can slow down,
savour local culture, and indulge in festive mountain traditions. For many
Indian guests, this deeper connection to nature, wellness, and outdoor
adventure is what makes Switzerland unforgettable in winter. We’ve noticed a
growing appetite for outdoor thrills combined with high-comfort luxury and
Switzerland’s winter season delivers this balance perfectly. It’s exciting to
see Indians embracing a more immersive and diverse way of experiencing the
country, not just as a holiday, but as a full alpine lifestyle experience,”
said Christian Schoch, Director, India, Switzerland Tourism.

 

Switzerland Tourism continues to champion sustainable,
high-quality travel experiences, encouraging longer stays, responsible tourism
practices, and deeper immersion in local culture. Central to this effort is the
Swiss Travel System, powered by the Swiss Travel Pass, which offers seamless,
eco-friendly mobility across the country and enables visitors to explore
Switzerland’s winter wonders at a relaxed and responsible pace.

<title>From the Orchards of Europe to the Heart of India — The Timeless Taste of French Apples</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/from-the-orchards-of-europe-to-the-heart-of-india-the-timeless-taste-of-french-apples</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/from-the-orchards-of-europe-to-the-heart-of-india-the-timeless-taste-of-french-apples</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, 18.12.2025 : Representing the shared values of Europe’s rich agricultural heritage, the
Interprofessional Association for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (INTERFEL)
proudly brings the spirit of European orchards to India through one of its most
iconic treasures — the French apple. Bathed in sunshine and born from the
richness of French soil, these apples embody the excellence, sustainability,
and savoir-faire that define Europe’s fruit-growing tradition. This year,
INTERFEL invites Indian consumers to celebrate a new season defined by
resilience, flavor, and respect for nature. Despite the ongoing challenges of
climate change on global agriculture, French apple growers continue to
cultivate with innovation and dedication, ensuring that fruit lovers in India
can once again enjoy the sweetness of French orchards this autumn.

 

In 2025, French apple production continues to
demonstrate impressive stability and growth, reaching an estimated 1.485
million tons — a 4% increase from 2024 and 3% higher than the
three-year average. This strong performance underscoreshe resilience and
adaptability of the French apple industry, which continues to thrive despite
the challenges faced by other producing regions. It is a testament to the
professionalism and expertise of French growers, whose dedication to quality
ensures that every apple meets France’s high standards for taste and quality
consistency.

This season’s French apple crop is also more diverse and vibrant than ever.


Classic international varieties such as Gala, Golden, Granny,
Fuji, and Rouges remain stable, with only a slight 1% decrease.
Popular club varieties, including Pink Lady®, Jazz, Joya, and Juliet®,
are expected to increase by 2%, while traditional French favorites
like Chantecler, Canada, and Boskoop will grow by 3%,
continuing to delight consumers in the domestic market.


Even more impressive, emerging new varieties are gaining strong momentum,
expected to reach 145,000 tons in 2025, representing a
remarkable 51% increase compared to last year. This rapid expansion
underscores France’s innovative spirit and its commitment to offering consumers
a broader, richer Apple experience.

 

Behind this success lies over 25 years of
commitment to sustainable and environmentally responsible farming.


French growers use precision irrigation, advanced soil management, and
eco-friendly pest control systems, ensuring orchards thrive in harmony with
nature.


These practices not only protect ecosystems and water resources but also
preserve fertile land for future generations, producing apples that are as
ethical as they are delicious.

 

 To celebrate the new season, European
campaign will host a series of engaging events in India. 

 

The campaign kicked off with a media
workshop on 17th December at Food Square, where guests explored the charm
of French apples and the elegance of French living. The event featured a lively
atmosphere where guests could sample a variety of French apples and experience
creative culinary inspirations that showcased the versatility of the fruit
through workshops, drinks and food.

 

Following the media launch, French Apples will embark
on a series of public promotions throughout the city — including in-store
tastings, interactive games, and roadshows, providing families
with the opportunity to experience the distinct flavor of French apples
firsthand. Popular varieties such as Royal Gala, Granny Smith &amp;
Pixie will soon be available at major supermarkets, bringing the
freshness and sweetness of French orchards to every part of India.

 

Today, more than 1,300 French apple growers
remain passionately dedicated to growing fruit that blends quality, flavor, and
sustainability. Each apple showcases their respect for the land and dedication
to their craft — crisp on the outside, juicy inside, and full of the elegance
and vitality of France. Through this resilient 2025 harvest, INTERFEL once
again shares with India the pure flavor and heartfelt story of French apples —
a sweet gift from nature itself.

In an era where sustainability meets
luxury, ABD Diamonds is setting a new benchmark for the jewelry industry by
introducing a curated line of sustainable wholesale lab-grown diamonds tailored
for ethical jewelers. As more retailers and designers seek conflict-free,
environmentally responsible alternatives, ABD Diamonds positions itself as a
trusted partner providing certified, high-quality lab-grown diamonds that combine
ethical sourcing with unmatched brilliance.

The Growing Demand for Ethical Jewelry

Consumers today are more conscious than
ever about the environmental and social impact of their purchases. Ethical
sourcing has moved from a niche concern to a mainstream expectation.
Traditional diamond mining often involves ecological disruption, excessive
carbon emissions, and questionable labor practices. In contrast, lab-grown
diamonds offer a sustainable solution, created with minimal environmental
footprint while retaining the natural beauty, durability, and elegance of mined
diamonds.

For jewelers and retailers, sourcing
sustainable diamonds is no longer just a trend—it’s a business imperative.
Ethical jewelry appeals to the modern consumer, boosts brand reputation, and
aligns with global sustainability goals. By supplying wholesale lab-grown
diamonds, ABD Diamonds empowers jewelers to meet this growing demand while
maintaining profitability and design flexibility.

What Makes ABD Diamonds’ Wholesale
Lab-Grown Diamonds Unique

ABD Diamonds prides itself on delivering
diamonds that are IGI, SGL, and BIS certified, ensuring quality and
authenticity. Each diamond undergoes rigorous testing for cut, color, clarity,
and carat, allowing jewelers to select from a wide range of options for their
collections.

Our lab-grown diamonds are available in
popular shapes including Round, Princess, Cushion, Oval, Pear, Marquise,
Emerald, Heart, Asscher, Radiant, Trillion, and Baguette, catering to diverse
design preferences. Jewelers can choose from color grades D to I, clarity
levels from VVS1 to VS2, and carat weights ranging from 0.25ct to 3ct+, making
it ideal for everything from everyday jewelry to luxury statement pieces.

In addition to ethical sourcing and
rigorous quality standards, our lab-grown diamonds offer affordable pricing at
wholesale levels, enabling retailers to maximize margins without compromising
on quality or sustainability.

Why Lab-Grown Diamonds Are the Future of
Ethical Jewelry

Lab-grown diamonds are identical to mined
diamonds in their chemical composition and visual appeal but come with
significant advantages for the ethical jeweler:


 Environmental Responsibility: Lab-grown diamonds require
     significantly less water and energy than traditional mining and produce zero
     ecological disruption.
 Conflict-Free Assurance: Each diamond is guaranteed free from
     the ethical concerns sometimes associated with mined diamonds, ensuring
     transparency and peace of mind for both jewelers and consumers.
 Traceability and Certification: Wholesale buyers can rely on
     full certification and provenance documentation, meeting the highest
     industry standards.
 Design Flexibility: With availability in multiple shapes,
     colors, and sizes, lab-grown diamonds offer creative freedom for jewelers
     to design modern, sustainable collections.


This combination of sustainability,
quality, and flexibility makes lab-grown diamonds an ideal choice for retailers
looking to align with modern ethical standards while still delivering luxury
products.

Wholesale Opportunities for Jewelers

ABD Diamonds’ wholesale lab-grown diamonds
open up new avenues for jewelers who want to expand their offerings without
compromising their values. By partnering with ABD Diamonds, jewelers gain
access to:


 Bulk Diamond Orders: Flexible order quantities suitable for
     boutiques, large retailers, and custom designers.
 Customizable Options: Tailor diamonds by shape, color, clarity,
     and carat to match specific design requirements.
 Reliable Supply Chain: Streamlined processes ensure timely
     delivery and consistent stock availability.
 Sustainability Credentials: Promote your brand as
     environmentally conscious and socially responsible.


By choosing ABD Diamonds as a wholesale
partner, jewelers can confidently market their products as eco-friendly, conflict-free,
and ethically sourced, strengthening their brand appeal and customer trust.

How Ethical Jewelers Can Benefit from
Lab-Grown Diamonds

Sustainability is not just about
environmental impact—it’s a strategic business advantage. Jewelers integrating
lab-grown diamonds into their collections can:


 Attract Conscious Consumers: Millennials and Gen Z buyers
     prioritize sustainable luxury and are more likely to purchase ethically
     sourced jewelry.
 Enhance Brand Image: Aligning with sustainable practices positions

<title>Clarity, Not Campaigns, Emerges as the Real Growth Lever for Businesses</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/clarity-not-campaigns-emerges-as-the-real-growth-lever-for-businesses</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/clarity-not-campaigns-emerges-as-the-real-growth-lever-for-businesses</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, India :  As competition intensifies
across industries and digital noise reaches unprecedented levels, businesses
are discovering that sustained growth is no longer driven by the sheer volume
of marketing campaigns, but by strategic clarity. Organisations
across India and global markets continue to invest heavily in platforms, tools,
and content. Yet many struggle with fragmented brand positioning, unclear
go-to-market (GTM) direction, and disconnected execution factors that
limit scale, weaken trust, and dilute returns.

In an environment shaped by
AI-driven content proliferation, shrinking attention spans, and rising customer
expectations, growth is steadily shifting away from execution-heavy marketing
toward clarity-led strategy. Companies that fail to articulate who
they serve, what they stand for, and why they exist are finding it increasingly
difficult to shorten sales cycles, strengthen brand recall, or differentiate
meaningfully in crowded markets.

This shift is accelerating demand
for integrated, strategy-first consulting partners, rather than
execution-only agencies. Consulting firms such as True North Sage
Consultants (TNSC) (https://www.truenorthsage.com) are responding by helping
organisations align positioning, branding, go-to-market strategy, and digital
infrastructure before execution begins.

Unlike traditional marketing
vendors, TNSC operates as a full-stack growth consultancy, working
at the intersection of strategy, technology, and execution. Its integrated
scope includes:

●       
Brand
strategy, positioning, and GTM frameworks

●       
Marketing
strategy and performance marketing systems

●       
Social
media management and LinkedIn profile &amp; page management

●       
Website
strategy, design, and development

●       
In-house
video and photo shoots for leadership and brand storytelling

●       
Technical
and thought-leadership content creation

●       
Motion
graphics and visual systems

●       
Cybersecurity
readiness for marketing and digital assets

●       
AI
automation and workflow optimisation for scalable growth

TNSC also extends its
clarity-first philosophy through its podcast channel, The Long Game
Show, https://www.youtube.com/@TRUENORTHSAGE where business owners, brand
leaders, and entrepreneurs share real stories, long-term thinking, and insights
into building meaningful, sustainable businesses moving beyond short-term
tactics toward enduring impact.

By ensuring that every brand
touchpoint digital, creative, technical, and operational communicates a unified
narrative, businesses are able to move away from isolated campaigns and
toward structured growth systems. These systems improve recall,
reduce wasted spend, strengthen credibility, and create consistency across
channels.

At the same time, modern growth
increasingly depends on the seamless integration of technology with
strategy. As organisations adopt AI tools, automation platforms, and
complex marketing stacks, risks around data security, system fragmentation, and
operational inefficiency continue to rise. Forward-looking companies are
therefore prioritising cybersecurity and AI automation not as add-ons,
but as foundational enablers of sustainable growth.

Strategy-led firms like TNSC
position cybersecurity and AI automation as supports for clarity not
substitutes for critical thinking. Secure systems, intelligent workflows, and
automated processes are designed to amplify strategic intent, not
replace it.

“In a market where noise is
abundant and trust is scarce, clarity has become a competitive advantage,”
said Pragya Saxena Mohan, Founder, True North Sage Consultants.

“Brands that align their
positioning, execution, and digital infrastructure are emerging as category
leaders, while those relying solely on campaigns struggle to be remembered.”

As businesses navigate
increasingly complex and competitive landscapes, clarity-led strategy
supported by disciplined execution, secure digital systems, and intelligent
automation is proving to be the defining growth lever for the next phase of
brand building.

<description><![CDATA[ 18 December 2025, Mumbai : IDFC
FIRST Private Banking and Hurun
India launched the third edition of ‘IDFC FIRST Private &amp; Hurun
India’s Top 200 Self-made Entrepreneurs of the Millennia 2025’, a list
of the 200 most valuable companies in India founded after the year 2000. These
companies are ranked according to their value, defined as market capitalisation
for listed companies and valuations for non-listed companies. The cut-off date
to arrive at this list was 25th September 2025. This list refers to
companies headquartered in India only (state-owned companies and subsidiaries
of foreign companies are not included).

 

The combined value of all companies on
the “India’s Top 200 Self-made Entrepreneurs of the Millennia
2025” list stands at INR 42 lakh crore and features
entrepreneurs from 51 cities across India. For the first time since the
list’s inception, Deepinder Goyal (42), founder of Eternal, has overtaken
R K Damani (70) of DMart to claim the No. 1 spot. Bengaluru leads with 88
entrepreneurs, followed by Mumbai with 83 and New Delhi with 52, together
accounting for more than half the list. Financial services top the sectors
with 47 companies, followed by Software &amp; Services (28), Healthcare (27)
and Retail (20). Notably, 189 companies — nearly 95% of the list — have
external investors, with the rest bootstrapped.

 

Mr. Vikas Sharma, Head-Wealth Management &amp;
Private Banking, IDFC FIRST Bank said: “India
stands tall as one of the world’s leading nations for the quality of its
entrepreneurship ecosystem. The Third Edition of IDFC FIRST Private &amp; Hurun
India’s Top 200 Self-made Entrepreneurs of the Millennia 2025 marks another
year of celebrating India’s vibrant startup and entrepreneurial journey. This
report honours the extraordinary stories of visionary leaders who are reshaping
the country’s economic landscape. Their resilience, innovation, and relentless
pursuit of excellence reflect the very values we at IDFC FIRST Bank deeply
resonate with. Through this publication, we proudly spotlight these
trailblazers and reaffirm our commitment to nurturing the entrepreneurial
spirit that continues to power India’s growth story.”

 

Anas Rahman Junaid, Founder and Chief Researcher,
Hurun India, said: &quot;The IDFC FIRST
Private &amp; Hurun India’s Top 200 Self-made Entrepreneurs of the Millennia
2025 showcases the extraordinary impact of self-made entrepreneurs
on India&#039;s economy, with a total business value of USD 469 billion—equivalent
to a quarter of the value of India’s 300 Most Valuable Family Businesses, despite
being founded within the last 25 years compared to the latter&#039;s 73-year average
age. Five companies founded post-2020 are now collectively valued at INR 78,000
crores. These entrepreneurs are driving growth and contributing to
nation-building, with employee benefits increasing from INR 54,000 crores to
INR 57,200 crores this year, reflecting their investment in people.&quot;

 

Methodology

 

The ‘IDFC FIRST Private &amp; Hurun India&#039;s Top 200
Self-made Entrepreneurs of the Millennia 2025’ is a list that recognises the
200 most valuable companies based in India, established on or after 2000. This
list focuses on the exceptional achievements of self-made Indian entrepreneurs
who have built and nurtured the most valuable companies during this
millennium. The ranking of this list is in the order of the value of
the enterprises created by the Founders and not the net worth of the Founders
themselves.

 

For listed companies, the market cap is based on the
price of the respective companies as of the cut-off date. For unlisted
companies, Hurun Research’s valuation is based on a comparison with their
listed equivalents using prevailing industry multiples such as Price to
Earnings, Price to Sales, EV to Sales, and EV to EBITDA. Financial information
is from the latest annual reports or audited financial statements.

 

The Hurun research team has relied on the most recent
valuations based on significant funding rounds to maintain consistency in
valuations. Additionally, in some instances, we have considered
investor-reported markdown valuations to provide a comprehensive analysis.

Since then, Hurun India has pursued celebrating the stories of India’s transparent wealth creation, innovation and philanthropy. The five core pillars of Hurun India are:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">First, we spotlight Value Creation by companies, the heartbeat of a developing India. It's through their innovation and excellence that economic growth is fueled, paving the way for a prosperous tomorrow. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Next, we focus on Wealth Creation. As these companies thrive, wealth is generated, birthing a new era of affluent entrepreneurs and businesses. This wealth is not just financial; it's a wealth of knowledge, experience and opportunity, essential for India's next 10-15 years. For exponential growth, disruption is key. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Enter our third pillar: Start-Ups. These engines of innovation are the primary source of leapfrog growth, challenging the status quo and opening new doors of possibilities. While economic development is crucial, philanthropy plays an equally vital role in ensuring broader prosperity.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Our fourth pillar, Philanthropy, is about giving back and creating a balanced ecosystem where everyone progresses together.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Lastly, we celebrate our rich heritage with the fifth pillar: Culture. India, home to one of the oldest civilisations, boasts a myriad of artists. Yet, they remain undervalued on the global stage. </span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Oren, a leader in enterprise ESG and
sustainability solutions, recently announced the launch of its free, AI-Powered
ESG Maturity Assessment Tool. This
innovative tool is designed to help companies globally, from MSMEs to
established enterprises, instantly understand and strategically improve their
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance.

 

Addressing the Need for Accessible ESG Intelligence

In an era of accelerating
regulatory requirements (such as India’s BRSR and the EU’s CSRD) and increasing
stakeholder and customer expectations through frameworks like EcoVadis and CDP,
understanding an organisation’s true ESG maturity is essential yet often
complex and expensive. Oren’s new assessment tool eliminates these barriers by
delivering instant,

expert-level insights at no cost.

 

“At Oren, we believe ESG
intelligence should be accessible to every organisation, not just those with
large budgets,” said Arooshi Dahiya, CEO of Oren. “With this free AI-powered
tool, companies can instantly understand their ESG maturity and identify clear
priorities. As regulations and expectations rise, we’re enabling businesses to
take the right first steps with confidence and clarity.”

 

Key Features and Benefits of the Assessment Tool

Oren’s ESG Maturity Assessment
Tool leverages proprietary AI models to analyse company inputs and generate a
robust, comprehensive report:

●     
Comprehensive Scorecard: Users receive a single, overall ESG Maturity Score, alongside
individual, detailed scores for the Environmental (E), Social (S), and
Governance (G) pillars. This granular breakdown quickly highlights areas of
strength and immediate focus.

●     
AI-Driven, Tailored
Recommendations: Moving beyond mere scoring, it
also generates personalised, strategic recommendations. These are specifically
tailored to the company’s current maturity level, industry, and geographical
context, focusing on practical steps to build upon existing strengths and
address critical gaps.

●     
Universal Design: The tool is meticulously engineered to be relevant and useful for
organisations of all sizes, operating in any industry, and across all
geographies, ensuring regulatory considerations and best practices are contextually
applied.

●     
Free and Immediate Access: The assessment tool is permanently free to use, providing an
essential baseline and continuous monitoring tool for ESG professionals.

 

A Critical
Tool for Key Stakeholders

This solution is a vital resource
for professionals managing corporate sustainability and compliance, including:

●     
ESG and Sustainability Leaders: To benchmark current performance and develop data-driven strategy.

●     
Compliance Teams: To quickly identify regulatory readiness and risk exposure across
E, S, and G factors.

●     
Finance and Risk Teams: To understand how ESG maturity impacts financial risks, capital
access, and stakeholder confidence.

●     
Board Members: To ensure robust governance structures and compliance are in
place.

●     
Company Secretaries: To be confident that the company has complied with ESG
regulations.

Oren is committed to providing the
tools necessary for businesses to navigate the complex sustainability landscape
successfully. The AI-Powered ESG Maturity Assessment Tool is available starting
today.

AI-Powered ESG Maturity Assessment Tool immediately at http://orennow.com/esg-maturity-tool.

<title>Chennai Metro Selects IntelliRail’s Automated Wheel Profile Measurement System to Transition to Condition&amp;Based Maintenance</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/chennai-metro-selects-intellirails-automated-wheel-profile-measurement-system-to-transition-to-condition-based-maintenance</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/chennai-metro-selects-intellirails-automated-wheel-profile-measurement-system-to-transition-to-condition-based-maintenance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ IntelliRail, which
designs, builds and implements AI-based diagnostic products for the railways,
has been selected by Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) to deliver its “Make in
India” Automated Wheel Profile Measurement System (AWPMS) at Madhavaram Depot of
the Chennai Metro.

The installation of
the AWPMS will be overseen by the NKBAB Consortium, a delivery partner for
CMRL, responsible for the expansion of Phase II, Corridor 4. The wayside wheel
profile measurement system will be implemented at Madhavaram Depot, the largest
depot for the Chennai Metro’s Phase II project. The depot also serves
as a critical maintenance and stabling facility for trains on corridors 3,
4, and 5. The AWPMS will be installed and implemented under the supervision of
BEML, which is responsible for providing the complete package of diagnostic
systems at this depot.

 

Why IntelliRail’s
AWPMS Stood Apart From the Rest

IntelliRail’s automated wheel profile measurement system (IntelliWPMS) is a cutting-edge wayside system, powered by
machine vision and edge computing. The product has been developed through a
technology collaboration with Spain-based Visiona Control Industrial S.L., a
company that has implemented AWPMS systems in Europe since 2015.



The AWPMS is a
perfect fit for the Indian government’s “Make in India” mandate and the shift
of Metro operations to condition-based maintenance (CBM) and Unmanned Train
Operations (UTO). Automated, remote monitoring and real-time data analytics are
critical for seamless CBM and UTO. Earlier this year,
IntelliRail successfully delivered the first Make in India Automated Wheel
Profile Measurement System (AWPMS) for Mumbai Metro.

 

The wheel is one of the most important
components of a train, and its profile forms the rail-wheel interface. It
becomes critical to monitor wheel parameters so that defects are identified
early and maintenance can be done on time. An automated system ensures that
wheel monitoring can be done even while the wagons are moving. This ensures the
smooth running of trains, while extending the life of both wheels and tracks. 

 

IntelliWPMS enables
contactless, cloud-based wheel health monitoring of trains moving at speeds of
up to 120 kmph. It uses a system of lasers and cameras to capture accurate data
on a wide range of parameters, including the flange thickness, flange height,
wheel diameter, back-to-back gauge and more, of each wheelset. Human dependency
is minimised with machine vision, a technology that “sees,” interprets and
gathers visual information. This leads to improved accuracy, efficiency
and speed of inspection.

 

IntelliRail’s wayside
wheel profile measurement system uses 6 modules, instead of the 4 modules used
by most other WPMS systems. The extra modules provide additional data to
increase the accuracy of wheel diameter measurements.

 

A proprietary edge
computing-powered Control Panel is installed at the wayside, in proximity to
each laser and camera module. The data collected by the modules are directly
sent to the Control Panel for initial analysis (cleaning and optimisation of
images). The optimised data is sent to the Cloud (IntelliCloud) for further
processing, analysis and reporting. This meaningfully lower the cost of data
transmission, while preventing data lags and delays.

 

The analysed data is
shared in near real-time in graphical form for easy identification of
deviations from the standard wheel parameters.



With IntelliWPMS,
Chennai Metro will be able to ensure proactive repair and replacement decisions
without affecting the availability of its assets. The automated wheel profile
measurement system will play a crucial role in upholding safety and extending
the life of one of the most expensive railway assets.

 

“Metros across India are in the process of

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">IntelliRail, which designs, builds and implements AI-based diagnostic products for the railways, has been selected by Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) to deliver its “Make in India” Automated Wheel Profile Measurement System (AWPMS) at Madhavaram Depot of the Chennai Metro.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The installation of the AWPMS will be overseen by the NKBAB Consortium, a delivery partner for CMRL, responsible for the expansion of Phase II, Corridor 4. The wayside wheel profile measurement system will be implemented at Madhavaram Depot, the largest depot for the Chennai Metro’s Phase II project. The depot also serves as a critical maintenance and stabling facility for trains on corridors 3, 4, and 5. The AWPMS will be installed and implemented under the supervision of BEML, which is responsible for providing the complete package of diagnostic systems at this depot.</span></p>

<h2><b><span lang="EN">Why IntelliRail’s AWPMS Stood Apart From the Rest</span></b></h2>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">IntelliRail’s </span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://intellirail.in/wheel-profile-measurement-wpms/"><span>automated wheel profile measurement system</span></a><span> (IntelliWPMS) is a cutting-edge wayside system, powered by machine vision and edge computing. The product has been developed through a technology collaboration with Spain-based Visiona Control Industrial S.L., a company that has implemented AWPMS systems in Europe since 2015.</span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_g86kshmxi6l0"></a><span lang="EN">The AWPMS is a perfect fit for the Indian government’s “Make in India” mandate and the shift of Metro operations to condition-based maintenance (CBM) and Unmanned Train Operations (UTO). Automated, remote monitoring and real-time data analytics are critical for seamless CBM and UTO. <span>Earlier this year, IntelliRail successfully delivered the first Make in India Automated Wheel Profile Measurement System (AWPMS) for Mumbai Metro.</span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The wheel is one of the most important components of a train, and its profile forms the rail-wheel interface. It becomes critical to monitor wheel parameters so that defects are identified early and maintenance can be done on time. An automated system ensures that wheel monitoring can be done even while the wagons are moving. This ensures the smooth running of trains, while extending the life of both wheels and tracks. </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">IntelliWPMS enables contactless, cloud-based wheel health monitoring of trains moving at speeds of up to 120 kmph. It uses a system of lasers and cameras to capture accurate data on a wide range of parameters, including the flange thickness, flange height, wheel diameter, back-to-back gauge and more, of each wheelset. Human dependency is minimised with machine vision, a technology that “sees,” interprets and gathers visual information. This leads to improved accuracy, efficiency and speed of inspection.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">IntelliRail’s wayside wheel profile measurement system uses 6 modules, instead of the 4 modules used by most other WPMS systems. The extra modules provide additional data to increase the accuracy of wheel diameter measurements.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">A proprietary edge computing-powered Control Panel is installed at the wayside, in proximity to each laser and camera module. The data collected by the modules are directly sent to the Control Panel for initial analysis (cleaning and optimisation of images). The optimised data is sent to the Cloud (IntelliCloud) for further processing, analysis and reporting. This meaningfully lower the cost of data transmission, while preventing data lags and delays.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The analysed data is shared in near real-time in graphical form for easy identification of deviations from the standard wheel parameters.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">With IntelliWPMS, Chennai Metro will be able to ensure proactive repair and replacement decisions without affecting the availability of its assets. The automated wheel profile measurement system will play a crucial role in upholding safety and extending the life of one of the most expensive railway assets.</span></p>

     proving that 2025 was the year niche obsessions went national
 Air
     fryers won the great kitchen showdown with 18 lakh searches,
     narrowly beating microwaves to the top spot
 The
     most-shipped product of the year clocked its highest demand in cities like
     Cuttack, Godavari, and Medinipur
 Gen
     Z made 3 AM the new primetime, with over 40% 10-minute
     deliveries turning impulse scrolls into instant checkouts
 The
     year’s costliest cart came from a shopper who checked out with a ₹30
     lakh order featuring TCL 115 inch Smart TV


 

Bengaluru - December 17, 2025 : Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, today unveiled #FlipTrends2025,
its annual insights report capturing the definitive shifts in the nation’s
digital economy. With Gen Z dictating a new era of scroll-led discovery, tier 2
cities bypassing basics to lead the demand for premiumisation and convenience
moving from an occasional occurrence to an everyday reflex, FlipTrends
unpacks the behaviors that hijacked group chats, broke search bars, and turned
everyday interactions into a nationwide shopping revolution.

 

Rajneesh Kumar, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer,
Flipkart, said, “The insights from #FlipTrends2025
tells the story of a confident digital nation. It was the year shopping became
muscle memory, Gen Z turned viral scrolls into instant trends, and Tier 2
cities led the charge in premiumisation. This clearly shows that the lines
between content and commerce have blurred. As video shopping and quick commerce
transition from novelties to daily habits, #FlipTrends2025 confirms that
we have moved beyond mere adoption; in fact, India is now defining the global
playbook for digital consumption.&quot;  

 

Gen Z Turned 21 Lakh Searches into Trends
Overnight!

 

A viral Y2K reel sent more than 21 lakh shoppers
hunting for the look on Flipkart, with Korean-inspired styles quickly
following as creator-led discovery shaped what Gen Z searched for on Flipkart.
Their carts told the same story, filled with crop tops, oversized hoodies
and baggy jeans, while mouth tape for sleeping unexpectedly became
one of the most saved items of the year. Gaming emerged as their biggest habit,
with 58% of purchases coming from the 15–24 age group led by Delhi and
Kolkata, climbing to 60% in Tier 2 plus cities. In metros like Mumbai
and Hyderabad, shoppers aged 25–34 drove the most of gaming purchases,
and headsets made up 85% of all gaming accessories sold on Flipkart,
redefining how immersive, social-first play defined Gen Z’s shopping identity
in 2025.

 

Orders Delivered Before You Can Say ‘Dhaniya’

 

2025 was the year India treated quick commerce like
muscle memory. The ₹9 fruits and vegetables on Flipkart Minutes became
one of the most talked about offerings with reels and customer reviews hailing
it as the ultimate hero of daily convenience. But it wasn’t just veggies or
groceries that got the spotlight. Midnight shoppers made vegetables, milk,
chips, ice-creams and chocolates the most-added products after dark, while
mood-based buys and “I need this now” moments turned Flipkart Minutes
into a go-to reflex across metros and emerging cities. Products like cashews,
health drink mixes, biscuits, savouries, namkeens, chips, ice-creams and
aerated drinks saw a sharp lift as shoppers used Minutes not just to
restock but to experiment, indulge, and solve sudden cravings. With demand
peaking after 7 PM, 2025 proved that India doesn’t plan its quick
commerce orders. It feels them.

 

When Non-Metro India Started Shopping Like
Metros!

 

Tier 2 and 3 cities powered Flipkart’s strongest
momentum this year, with Bardhaman, Cuttack, East Godavari, Krishna,
and Medinipur emerging as top growth hubs. Shoppers here drove demand
across key categories from face serums to dishwashers and electric
bikes, signalling a clear shift toward premium choices. Fashion continued
to anchor their carts while accessories and personal care gained traction among
younger buyers. The creator economy also expanded beyond metros, with microphone
sales rising 1.3 times as more users began setting up content spaces at
home. In 2025, Bharat wasn’t just catching up; it was leading the growth curve.

 

Smart Nation, Smarter Buys: Tech That Defined
Shopping in 2025 

 

India’s festive shopping in September and October saw
record engagement on Flipkart, with 10.3 million users interacting with
video commerce every day and shoppers generating 345 million product page
views daily as they browsed and compared offers. Livestream shopping
continued to build momentum, with over 3 lakh orders placed during live
sessions and 3.8 million users engaging with Flipkart’s Infinite Feed
each day to surface products through endless scroll formats. Co-branded credit
card penetration also increa ]]></description>

<title>Three&amp;Day International Conference &amp;apos;Rushabhayan 02&amp;apos; on the Pioneer of Indian Civilization, King Rushabhdev, to be Held from December 19 to 21</title>

<description><![CDATA[ This three-day international conference, dedicated to
an in-depth exploration of the life and contributions of King Rushabhdev, will
be held at Kora Kendra Ground 4, Borivali (West), Mumbai. The event is being
organized by Labdhi Vikram Janseva Trust (LVJST). Numerous historical documents
and archaeological findings establish that we are inheritors of a civilized
social culture that was founded thousands of years ago by King Rushabhdev. He
is, in fact, the original propounder of Indian civilization.


Through Rushabhayan 02, it will also be demonstrated and established that
concepts such as modern startups, sustainable development, and skill-based
education are not borrowed from the Western world, but are deeply rooted in our
own civilizational heritage. The name of our nation, “Bharat,” is derived from
Chakravarti Emperor Bharat, the illustrious son of King Rushabhdev - an
assertion also mentioned in the Shrimad Bhagavat Purana.


On the first day (19 December), a ceremonial procession (Shobhayatra) will be
held in the morning, followed by the inauguration of the Kalamandap and
Kesariyaji Darbar by Maharaja Shri Lakshyaraj Singh of Mewar. Jain
Gachchhadhipati Yashovarmasuriji Maharaj will deliver blessings and a spiritual
discourse. The Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis, will
inaugurate the Dharma Parishad, which will feature distinguished spiritual
leaders including P. P. Acharya Bhagwant Shri Ratnasundarsurishwarji Maharaj,
1008 Mahamandaleshwar Swami Rajendra Anandgiri Ji, P. P. Kothari Shri
Dharmanand Swami Maharaj, Dandi Swami Jitendra Saraswati Maharaj, P. P. Mahant
Dayalpuri Maharaj, Bageshwardham Sarkar Shri Dhirendra Shastri Ji Maharaj,
Shantigiri Maharaj, Guru Mauli Dindori, and many other saints, all of whom will
share their perspectives on King Rushabhdev.


On the second day of the Parishad, Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) will be
signed with several universities and institutions. 


On 20 and 21 December, scholars from over 150 institutions across India and
abroad will present their research papers on King Rushabhdev and the systems
established by him, including Asi, Masi, Kasi, trade and commerce, Brahmi
script, mathematics, 72 skills, and 64 fine arts. These research papers will be
compiled and released as the Rushabhayan 02 Research Volume.


A historic release of 1,111 books will also take place, including handwritten
manuscripts dating back 200 to 500 years, along with other rare texts based on
Indian culture, art, and civilizational studies—an achievement that will set a
global record.

Rushabhayan 02 is not merely an event or a festival; it is a thought movement.
Without understanding our roots, we cannot comprehend our present, and without
clarity about the present, we cannot shape our future. The objective of this
conference is to help build a society that remains deeply connected to the
roots of its culture.

The message and philosophy of King Rushabhdev will be explained and interpreted
by saints and spiritual leaders from all religions and sects, along with
political leaders and senior thinkers. Jain Acharyas, eminent scholars of
Sanatan culture and national thought, policymakers, historians, educators, and
youth representatives will actively participate and present their views.

The conference will facilitate an exchange of ideas on Indian knowledge
systems, sciences, and intellectual traditions. Various cultural programs will
present the essence of Sanatan culture. During his life as a householder, King
Rushabhdev taught the art of living and succeeding in life. During his reign,
through 72 vocational skills, 64 fine arts, and 100 crafts, he empowered 18
occupational groups and 36 communities, guiding professions such as
blacksmiths, carpenters, potters, and others with remarkable systems of
livelihood and self-reliance. An interactive exhibition on all these ancient
arts and skills will be showcased. Special dialogues will be held to promote
indigenous skills, and the event is expected to witness the presence of over
one lakh participants.

Dignitaries expected to attend include Gujarat Deputy CM and Home Minister Shri
Harshbhai Sanghavi, Union Commerce Minister Shri Piyush Goyal, Union Minister
of Culture Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Maharashtra Minister for Higher and
Technical Education Shri Chandrakant Dada Patil, Skill Development Minister
Shri Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Minister for Culture and IT Shri Ashish Shelar, Shri
Sanvegbhai Lalbhai of Anandji Kalyanji Pedhi, Dr. Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, JMDFC
Chairman Shri Lalitbhai Gandhi, entrepreneur Shri Niranjan Hiranandani, Shri
Uttambhai Jain of Neon Laboratory Group, Shri Hiteshbhai Doshi of Vari Group,
and social leaders including Girishbhai Shah, Atul Jain (Vice President,
Deendayal Research Institute), JITO Chairman Prithviraj Kothari, Rameshji Mutha
of MM Export, along with many other eminent social workers and industrial ]]></description>

<title>Razorpay POS Launches ‘Growth DQR’, A Checkout Device Unifying Offers, Loyalty &amp;amp; UPI on a Single Screen</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/razorpay-pos-launches-growth-dqr-a-checkout-device-unifying-offers-loyalty-upi-on-a-single-screen</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ INDIA, Bengaluru – 17th December 2025 : In its continued effort to simplify and elevate the in-store payment
experience, Razorpay POS, the
offline payments arm of the fintech major, today launched Razorpay
Growth Dynamic QR (DQR), a next-generation POS device that aims to
make the retail checkout experience smoother. Designed for high-volume
retail stores, Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs), and premium stores, Growth DQR
brings deals and discounts, joining the store’s rewards program, using or
claiming reward points, and UPI payments onto a single,
customer-facing screen that handles everything.

 

Staff juggle billing, reward points, discount
discovery, and payments while queues build up, leading to skipped rewards
journey and undiscovered offers at the checkout counter. In
conversations with retailers, a consistent theme emerges around loyalty
programmes not delivering their full potential. While customers do accumulate
rewards, many never end up using them because redemption is either not visible
or feels cumbersome at the checkout. Retailers also point to crowded counters
and manual processes slowing down operations and adding avoidable strain on
staff. Especially in quick-service environments, merchants often feel forced to
make a trade-off at the point of payment - either move customers through
quickly or take the extra moment to acknowledge loyalty - rarely able to do
both seamlessly.

 

With a sleek and premium 10-inch dynamic
display, Razorpay Growth DQR shows personalised offers and reward
options in real time, alongside a Dynamic QR for UPI payments. Instead of
multiple devices, standees, and manual prompts, customers see everything they
need on one screen, enter their own details, and complete payment on the same
device. By bringing all checkout workflows onto one intelligent,
customer-facing display, Growth DQR POS devices aim to reduce errors, speed up
the process, and ensure that no opportunity is missed at the last mile.

 

Growth DQR enables retailers to move from a
“payment-only” counter to a checkout that consistently drives
measurable outcomes:
 


 Better
     discovery at the counter: Real-time,
     personalized offers are surfaced directly on the dynamic display, instead
     of being buried in apps, SMSes, or post-payment scratch cards, where they
     are often overlooked and rarely redeemed
 Lower
     cost, less clutter: Replaces multiple
     devices with one sleek unit, reducing the cost of buying and maintaining
     multiple systems
 Fewer
     errors, smoother ops: Customers
     self-enter details and pay on one screen, improving accuracy and reducing
     queue spillover
 Faster
     checkout at scale: Parallel cashier and
     customer workflows speed up queues and serve more customers during peak
     hours


 

Commenting on the launch of Growth DQR, Rahul
Kothari, Chief Operating Officer, Razorpay, said, “Anyone who has stood behind a retail counter knows how much happens
in those few seconds, billing, offers, reward checks, payments, all while a
queue waits. Store teams do their best, but the experience often becomes
rushed, and meaningful engagement gets lost.”

 

Kothari further added, “Razorpay Growth DQR is designed to support that frontline reality.
By bringing offers, rewards, and UPI payments onto one simple, intelligent
screen, we’re helping businesses focus on serving customers, not managing
devices. We want every checkout to feel smoother, more personal, and ultimately
more rewarding, for both customers and the businesses that serve them.”

 

With Growth DQR, Razorpay POS continues its momentum
towards an efficient in-store checkout experience for India’s businesses.
Together with recent launches like India’s first Self-healing POS
devices, industry-first AI-powered Razorpay Recon to automate reconciliation
for businesses, Q-Zap, a queue-busting suite for zero queues and faster
checkouts, it reflects a continued focus on reliability and better customer
experiences.

 

About Razorpay POS: Razorpay POS, the
offline payments arm of Razorpay, is a comprehensive payment solution that
empowers businesses to streamline their offline payment processes, enhance
customer satisfaction, and enable businesses to give their customers a superior
in-store checkout experience. With state-of-the-art devices like mPOS, Dynamic
Soundbox, Android Smart POS, POS Mini, and Pin-on-Mobile, Razorpay POS focuses
on helping businesses operate effectively. Through the acquisition of Ezetap
(now Razorpay POS) in August 2022, Razorpay forayed
into the world of offline payments. With this vertical, Razorpay has
evolved into an omnichannel payment and banking platform for businesses
that helps Indian businesses with comprehensive and innovative solutions built
over robust technology to address the entire length and breadth of the payment
and banking journey for any business. ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">INDIA, Bengaluru – 17th December 2025 : </span></b><span lang="EN-IN">In its continued effort to simplify and elevate the in-store payment experience, <a href="https://razorpay.com/pos/"><b>Razorpay POS</b></a>, <b>the offline payments arm of the fintech major, </b>today launched <b>Razorpay Growth Dynamic QR (DQR)</b>, a <b>next-generation POS device that aims to make the retail checkout experience smoother. </b>Designed for high-volume retail stores, Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs), and premium stores, Growth DQR brings deals and discounts, joining the store’s rewards program, using or claiming reward points, <b>and UPI payments </b>onto <b>a single</b>, customer-facing screen that handles everything.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Staff <b>juggle billing, reward points, discount discovery, and payments while queues build up, leading to skipped rewards journey and undiscovered offers at the checkout counter. </b>In conversations with retailers, a consistent theme emerges around loyalty programmes not delivering their full potential. While customers do accumulate rewards, many never end up using them because redemption is either not visible or feels cumbersome at the checkout. Retailers also point to crowded counters and manual processes slowing down operations and adding avoidable strain on staff. Especially in quick-service environments, merchants often feel forced to make a trade-off at the point of payment - either move customers through quickly or take the extra moment to acknowledge loyalty - rarely able to do both seamlessly.</span></p>

<p></p>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">With a sleek and premium 10-inch dynamic display, <b>Razorpay Growth DQR shows personalised offers and reward options in real time, alongside a Dynamic QR for UPI payments</b>. Instead of multiple devices, standees, and manual prompts, customers see everything they need on one screen, enter their own details, and complete payment on the same device. By bringing all checkout workflows onto one <b>intelligent, customer-facing display, Growth DQR POS devices aim to reduce errors, speed up the process, and ensure that no opportunity is missed at the last mile.</b></span></p>

<title>India’s Retail Workforce Poised for Structural Shift as Sector Nears USD 2 Trillion by 2030</title>

<description><![CDATA[  New V5 Global report highlights Tier-2 hiring
surge, rise in women’s participation, and growing demand for digital and
analytics talent

New Delhi, India:
India’s retail sector is entering a phase of rapid transformation, set to
nearly double in size over the next decade while fundamentally reshaping
employment across the country, according to India’s Retail Workforce: Entering
a Decade of Disruption, a new report developed by V5 Global, a brand of
FirstMeridian Business Services Limited.

 

The report projects India’s retail market to expand
from US$1.18 trillion in 2025 to nearly US$2 trillion by 2030, driven by
formalization, technology adoption, and the accelerated growth of organized
retail. Retail already employs 35 million people, making it India’s
second-largest job creator, and is expected to add 25 million new jobs by the
end of the decade.

 

As the sector scales, workforce capability is emerging
as a defining differentiator. “India’s retail story is no longer about store
counts—it’s about skill counts,” said Manmeet Singh, CEO, FirstMeridian Global,
noting that the next decade will belong to retailers who can turn frontline
associates into experience creators while building future-ready talent.

 

Tier-2 Cities and Women Power the Next Wave of
Growth

 

One of the most significant shifts highlighted in the
report is the acceleration of hiring beyond metros. Tier-2 cities such as
Lucknow, Jaipur, Coimbatore, and Nagpur are recording over 40% hiring growth,
outpacing traditional urban centers and emerging as critical consumption and
employment hubs.

 

Reflecting on this trend, Amit Jain, Chief Evangelist,
FirstMeridian Global, said India’s hiring landscape is being reshaped by the
rapid rise of Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, unlocking inclusion, aspiration, and
productivity at scale. According to him, this transition marks the
democratization of India’s workforce and will power the next phase of national
growth.

 

Women’s participation in retail has also increased by
23%, supported by flexible schedules, gig formats, and expanding opportunities
in customer-facing roles across fashion, beauty, and e-commerce. While progress
is evident, the report notes that gender representation and wage parity remain
areas requiring sustained focus.

 

Digital Skills Emerge as the New Talent Bottleneck

 

While frontline roles will continue to account for
70–75% of retail employment, the report flags a growing demand-supply gap in
mid- and high-skill roles. Demand for analytics, CRM, omnichannel management,
and AI-led personalization is expected to grow 2.5× by 2030, even as supply
lags.

 

With 73% of purchase decisions digitally influenced
and e-commerce projected to reach US$325 billion by 2030, retailers are
increasingly seeking talent that blends customer engagement with data and
technology. As Mani Kumar Sharma, COO, FirstMeridian Global, observes, trade
marketing in India is entering a phase “where creativity meets data and execution
meets intelligence,” with analytics-led insights, loyalty ecosystems, and
technology-enabled engagement defining competitive advantage at the point of
sale.

 

Festive Hiring Becomes Strategic, Not Seasonal

 

The report estimates that over 2.16 lakh seasonal jobs
will be created in H2 2025, underscoring that festive hiring has evolved into a
structural workforce lever rather than a short-term spike. Retail also accounts
for 38–40% of India’s gig workforce, reinforcing its role as the backbone of flexible
employment in the digital economy.

 

About the Report

 

India’s Retail Workforce: Entering a Decade of
Disruption draws on internal workforce data, market intelligence, and
sector-level analysis across organized retail, trade marketing, logistics, and
the gig economy in India. It offers a forward-looking assessment of workforce
trends through 2030, with implications for retailers, brands, policymakers, and
talent leaders.

<title>Klook Partners with Indian Creator Ajay Pandey to Showcase Japan Through a Fresh, Road&amp;Led Travel Lens</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/klook-partners-with-indian-creator-ajay-pandey-to-showcase-japan-through-a-fresh-road-led-travel-lens</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/klook-partners-with-indian-creator-ajay-pandey-to-showcase-japan-through-a-fresh-road-led-travel-lens</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai:
Global travel experiences platform Klook has partnered with
Indian content creator Ajay Pandey to present a fresh, creator-led
travel content series that explores Japan beyond its well-known cityscapes. The
collaboration highlights how immersive, self-driven travel—enabled by Klook—can
unlock a deeper, more authentic way of discovering the country.

Through
the Klook × Ajay Pandey travel series, Japan is presented not just as a
destination of iconic landmarks, but as a country best experienced on the
road—through highways, countryside routes, small towns, and everyday local
moments. The series stands out for its focus on road trips, long-distance
drives, and offbeat locations, a format rarely explored in Indian travel
content about Japan.

Ajay
Pandey is the first creator to collaborate with Clock to create a new history
and experience.



A
Collaboration Rooted in Experiential Travel

The
Klook × Ajay collaboration brings together Klook’s expertise in seamless
travel experiences and Ajay Pandey’s creator-first storytelling style.
Instead of following fixed itineraries, the series captures spontaneous discoveries—scenic
drives through mountainous regions, quiet townships, roadside food stops, and
real interactions with local culture.

Visuals
from the series feature:

●       
Wide-angle highway shots cutting through rural
Japan

●       
On-road driving sequences showcasing Japan’s
driving culture

●       
City-to-countryside transitions highlighting
lesser-seen regions

●       
Ground-level travel moments rather than
scripted sightseeing

These
visuals reinforce Klook’s positioning as a platform that enables travelers to
explore destinations at their own pace.

Reimagining
Japan for Indian Audiences

For
Indian viewers, Japan is often perceived as a complex destination due to
language, transport systems, and cultural differences. The Klook × Ajay
Pandey series addresses this by presenting travel through a practical,
accessible lens—demonstrating how independent exploration, supported by Klook’s
curated experiences, can make Japan approachable and enjoyable.

Ajay
Pandey’s road-trip-driven format positions him among the first Indian
creators to explore Japan extensively through self-driven travel, while
Klook’s role as the enabler remains central throughout the journey.

A
Visual-First, Platform-Agnostic Series

The
collaboration spans long-form video content and short-form social storytelling,
ensuring consistent engagement across platforms. While Ajay leads the narrative
as the on-ground creator, Klook’s presence is integrated throughout the
experience—highlighting activities, local experiences, and the ease of planning
travel through the platform.

This
balanced approach allows the content to resonate not just as influencer travel,
but as a shared storytelling effort between a global travel brand and an
Indian creator.

Setting a
New Benchmark for Brand–Creator Travel Content

The
Klook × Ajay Pandey Japan series reflects a larger shift in travel
marketing—where creators don’t just promote destinations but discover them
in real time, and brands act as facilitators of meaningful experiences
rather than passive sponsors.

By
focusing on roads, regions, and real moments, the collaboration showcases Japan
as a destination that rewards curiosity, independence, and immersive
travel—values that align strongly with both Klook and Ajay Pandey. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, December
2025 : FNP, India’s leading gifting platform, today
announced two strategic festive collaborations with Starbucks and House of
Candy. The partnerships—both national and digital-first—mark a strategic step
in FNP’s 2025–26 vision of building a culture-driven gifting ecosystem powered
by design, personal expression, and collaborations with brands young India
already loves. These associations reflect FNP’s commitment to reimagining
modern gifting in ways that inspire emotional connection and align more deeply
with the cultural codes of younger audiences.

As young consumers
increasingly gravitate toward culturally relevant brands, limited-edition
drops, and expressive formats, FNP’s latest collaborations are crafted to
deepen affinity among Gen Z and young adults. Both partnerships introduce
collections that tap into seasonal desire, nostalgia, and premium lifestyle
cues—drivers shaping the next chapter of India’s evolving gifting landscape.

Through its association
with Starbucks, FNP is launching a curated Christmas collection gift
inspired by the warmth and emotional rituals of global café culture. The
digital-first partnership brings together Starbucks’ signature festive mugs and
FNP’s hallmark curation to create gifts that feel personal, seasonal, and
socially expressive. Designed for Secret Santa exchanges as well as year-end
birthdays, anniversaries and intimate celebrations, the collection taps into
high-engagement festive moments popular among urban young consumers.

Simultaneously, the
collaboration with House of Candy brings a burst of colour, nostalgia and
playfulness to FNP’s festive portfolio. 
The collection features specially curated candy hampers, themed bundles,
and candy bouquets designed to appeal to the aesthetic preferences and
emotional cues of Gen Z. Beginning with a Christmas drop, the range will extend
into New Year, Valentine’s
Day, and other key seasonal moments to maintain
year-round relevance.

Speaking on the
collaborations, Mr Avi Kumar, CMO at FNP said, “These partnerships
strengthen our role as the celebration brand by creating culturally relevant
festive moments that resonate with young India. Starbucks adds the warmth and premium
cues of global café culture, while House of Candy brings the visual joy and
nostalgia today’s youth connect with. Together, they elevate the aspirational
value of our gifting collections and make them more expressive, desirable, and
shareable.”

Both collections are
available exclusively online on FNP.com and will be supported by an integrated
marketing rollout featuring targeted digital outreach, influencer-led
storytelling, and immersive social-first content. Limited-edition availability
will further enhance the drop-culture appeal of these collaborations, aligning
with young consumers’ preference for exclusivity and culturally expressive
products.

These collaborations
underscore FNP’s strategic push to premiumise the gifting category, introduce
brand-led curations, and build a future-facing ecosystem rooted in design,
personal storytelling and cultural relevance. By integrating brands with strong
emotional equity among young consumers, FNP is reinforcing its positioning as
India’s most relevant and progressive gifting brand.

About FNP

FNP (Ferns N Petals) is
India’s leading gifting platform with a legacy of over 30 years. With a
presence in 450+ cities and growing global reach, FNP offers over 100,000

What Makes Kotak

The Kotak Flexicap Fund is designed to offer investors an all weather
investment approach. While markets move through phases of volatility,
corrections and rallies the fund’s ability to dynamically shift between large
cap, mid cap and small cap stocks gives it a unique advantage

exposure of nearly 19% and small cap allocation of 4–5% provide an additional
growth kicker creating an optimal balance between return potential and risk

expense ratio compared to the regular plan. This reduction in annual
expenses leads to better long term returns.

cost efficiency compounds meaningfully boosting the overall wealth creation
potential

<description><![CDATA[  




 By
     Ruchi Sharma, Nutritionist, In collaboration with Organic India

Winter is that time of year when every other home
seems to be filled with coughs, colds, and sniffles. The sudden change in
weather, the cool breeze, and shorter days can quietly lower our immunity, even
when we feel we are doing everything right. As a mother and a nutritionist,
I’ve learned that the secret to staying healthy in winter lies in consistency
and quality of nourishment. It’s not about quick fixes but about strengthening
the body from within.

 

Health begins with balance, and balance comes from
daily habits that align with nature. Strengthening inner defence, nature’s way
is good for you. When you choose organic, whole herbs you bring into your
kitchen nature’s purity and potency – grown without the use of chemical
fertilizers, herbs with high antioxidants that retain the plants complete
actives and are absorbed better in the body. 

 

I often find myself returning to the same time-tested
ingredients my dadi and my mother used to trust, only now these are pure,
certified organic, in whole herb form and in a convenient to use format. These
are my winter essentials — Tulsi, Turmeric, Amla, Ginger— each of which has
stood the test of time and now fits perfectly into our contemporary lifestyle.

 

The first and most important ingredient for me is
Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil. It supports respiratory health, helps reduce
congestion. My day begins with a cup of Organic India Tulsi Original Infusion,
which feels like a comforting ritual from my childhood but with nature’s purity
and convenience. Every cup carries the 100% Whole Herb Shakti of real Vana,
Krishna, Rama Tulsi, not synthetic flavours. I often enjoy it in the morning
sunlight, and in the evening my kids love it with a drizzle of honey, a simple,
soothing family habit that helps us stay protected through the season.

 

Next comes Turmeric, the golden healer. I still
remember my grandmother insisting on a cup of warm haldi doodh every time I got
a cough or cold. Today, I carry that same wisdom forward in a convenient way
through Organic India Turmeric Formula Capsules. Each capsule delivers the
power of whole turmeric root, rich in curcuminoids, resins, and essential oils
that support healing and immunity. Made with whole herbs that offer full range
of plant actives for better absorption and benefit utilization by the body.

 

Amla, or Indian Gooseberry, is my next essential for
winter. It’s naturally rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and minerals that
strengthen immunity. It can be incorporated into your routine in so many ways –
powders that can be added to smoothies or warm water or in the form of
chyawanprash. I personally use the certified organic, organic India amla powder
and Organic India Chyawanprash, being organic its free from harmful chemicals
and has the goodness organic herbs retain their full nutritional value.

 

Ginger is another ingredient I simply cannot do
without. It warms the body, and supports respiratory health. It’s that one
spice that instantly brings comfort, especially when combined with Tulsi. I
often brew a cup of Organic India Tulsi Ginger Infusion in the evenings for my
family. It’s soothing, aromatic, and a perfect way to unwind while supporting
immunity naturally.

 

Immunity is built right when it is built the natures
way – with whole organic herbs full of natures purity. These winter staples are
more than herbs; they are habits of care passed down through generations.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

Kolkata, 16th December, 2025: The radiology market in India is thriving, driven by increasing
chronic diseases, an aging population and tech adoption. At the Grand Radiology
Meet 2025, organised by Suraksha Diagnostic Limited (Suraksha Clinic and
Diagnostics) in collaboration with United Imaging and Medika Bazaar, experts
discussed how a radiologist is no longer a person who sees an image and just
writes a report. It has come a long way and radiologists need to become good
data handlers also.  Radiologists pointed out that AI enhances subtle
diagnoses that radiologists miss, because of the load of work. AI helps in case
prioritisation, but AI will never replace radiologists. Human intelligence and
artificial intelligence may go hand in hand to make things much faster and
advanced. 

 

The Grand Radiology Meet 2025 announced the
launch of UAcademy Learning Center, a new platform for clinical skill
enhancement and continuous education for radiologists, and unveiled its logo.
It is an initiative aimed at strengthening the radiology community and
fostering collaboration across the diagnostic and imaging landscape. It brought
together over 150 radiologists with a panel discussion on ‘Where Does Radiology
stand today?’ and a keynote address on ‘Radiology in Suraksha....present
scenario and our vision?, along with the unveiling of the Newsletter.  The
purpose of the event was to enable insightful reporting through latest
advancements in AI and imaging technology, supporting continuous medical
education for radiology professionals. The meet brought together the leading
imaging and radiology experts from across West Bengal, creating a platform for
knowledge sharing, networking and discussions on advancement of radiology
practice.

 

The panelists discussed how radiology has progressed a
lot over time and how cross-sectional imaging has brought in a new paradigm.

 

Dr. Srijita Ghosh, Consultant Radiologist at Apollo
Gleneagles Hospital, shared: “In present day
radiology, theme of sub-specialised radiology has come. Previously the same
radiologists used to do everything together, but with advancement of high-tech
machines, modalities and so much to read, a specialisation has come up
such as a MSK radiologist, so that they can concentrate on that only, the
reporting also gets standardised and there is more of clinico-radiological
correlation in one’s reports. And one of the operational problems that most of
the centres, hospitals have are a shortage of radiologists, as well as an
increased requirement for cyber-security. Again there is the advent of tele-radiology
which has gone into periphery and many of the peripheral hospitals also are
getting the best of radiology reports. MSK imaging has evolved a lot, and as
the launch of UAcademy, we will have the first pilot course of MSK organised by
Dr. Krishanu Saha.”

 

“Intervention radiology is an integral part of
radiology. In medical speciality, the mother specialities are general medicine,
general surgery and there are ramifications like neurology, cardiology,
muscular skeletal, and rheumatology. However there is no term called general
radiology. We are supposed to answer all superspeciality by doing radiology.
There is no ramification in radiology. The way gastroenterologists see a
patient, they also do endoscopy, colonoscopy and others. They are expanding
their horizon, so we should also incorporate intervention in radiology field.
There has been a huge paradigm shift in surgical field or medical science to
make a surgery safer and easier. There is a growing patient awareness that
one does not need a big surgery. In that shift the open abdominal surgery is
converted into laproscopy, open heart surgery is converted mostly into
angioplasty and now robotic surgery. Thus all efforts are going towards making
a surgery a small incidence surgery” shared Dr. Avik Bhattacharya,
Vascular and Interventional Radiologist at CK Birla Hospitals and Belle Vue
Clinic.

 

Experts discussed how ultrasound is the very basic of
radiology. In the current times, science has advanced manifold and medical
science is not a back-bencher. Experts stressed on how a mechanism should
be found out to make the advancement in science affordable to the people
at large who are not in a position to afford the luxury of the well-advanced
machines. Experts also pointed out how radiology is no longer just imaging, but
is successfully avoiding people’s discomfort and many surgeries are being
avoided by interventional radiology.

 

Unveiling the UAcademy learning
centre, representatives from Suraksha Clinic and Diagnostics and United
Imaging informed that the new learning center will offer three day courses for
radiologists to upskill them. It will provide training programs which offer
regular skill-enhancement sessions designed to keep doctors and technical teams
updated with the latest technologies, reportin ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The future of radiology is shaped by AI coupled with technological advancements, patient-centric care. Imaging is not limited to detection, it assists in predicting the development of diseases, helps to create personalized treatment strategies, and tracks responses to treatment procedures. Radiology has also transformed from cloud-based storage to remote reporting, adapting to the ‘anytime, anywhere’ model and becoming more accessible. Tele Radiology supported by 5G translates to scans being sent, read and reported in real time, reducing turnaround times. However challenges include regulatory obstacles for AI approvals, ethical concerns surrounding automation, and cybersecurity risks in cloud based systems.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Artificial intelligence is a significant part of the present radiology scenario, assisting with scan triage, which prioritizes urgent cases, detection of anomalies, and further helps to increase reporting efficiency. Teleradiology, supported by faster networks, helps in bridging the gap in underserved or rural areas by enabling remote reporting and access to global specialists. In the radiology landscape, AI is not going to be a replacement for radiologists but will become an aid for accurate and faster report delivery. </span></p>

<title>‘Whispers of the Infinite’ Leaves Delhi and Mumbai Spellbound</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/whispers-of-the-infinite-leaves-delhi-and-mumbai-spellbound</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/whispers-of-the-infinite-leaves-delhi-and-mumbai-spellbound</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai :  India’s
first-ever ghazal symphony, ‘Whispers of the Infinite’ by Nisschal
Zaveri’, concluded its Delhi and Mumbai showcases to standing ovations. The
opening leg of the tour reaffirmed that when tradition is approached with
sensitivity and imagination, it can feel both evergreen and contemporary. Conceptualised
and led by ghazal singer and composer Nisschal Zaveri, the 90-minute
production unfolded as an immersive musical dialogue, one that united
the grandiosity of 30 musicians with the timeless soul of Hindustani gayaki.
The performance resonated equally with the seasoned audience and younger
generation discovering the form with fresh curiosity.

 

Whispers of the Infinite - A Ghazal Symphony is an immersive experience that takes you into a world where Hindustani
melodies rise on orchestral wings, telling stories of longing, devotion,
celebration, and the infinite human spirit. “The orchestration is like
the clothes we dress the music in richer, layered, more textured, but the body
and soul remain purely ghazal,” Zaveri explains. “I&#039;m not trying to
change the essence; I&#039;m simply giving it a new experience, a new space to
breathe.”

 

With Delhi and Mumbai setting a strong foundation,
Whispers of the Infinite is now poised for expansion. Zaveri has
confirmed plans to take the symphony to multiple Indian cities, followed by an
international tour. “There&#039;s a global audience today that is hungry
for authenticity wrapped in a contemporary experience”, says Zaveri. If the
response so far is any indication, ‘Whispers of the Infinite - A Ghazal
Symphony’ is not just a concert; it is the beginning of a larger
cultural movement led by Zaveri, one that gently but confidently reclaims space
for the ghazal in today’s listening culture.

 

The Delhi premiere at the India International Centre
drew an eminent gathering of cultural custodians, diplomats, industry veterans,
and prominent voices from politics, art, and fashion. Presented by Sotheby’s
International Realty, the evening received a warm and deeply appreciative
response. Many noted the purity of Nisschal Zaveri’s gayaki (style of singing)
and the restraint of the orchestration, where even silence spoke as powerfully
as the music itself.

 

Mumbai’s public unveiling on December 5th at the Nehru
Centre Auditorium carried that momentum forward with an added layer of energy.
The audience was strikingly diverse, with young listeners filling the hall
alongside seasoned rasikas (connoisseurs). For many first-time ghazal
listeners, Zaveri’s storytelling became the gateway. His gentle
introductions, contextual cues, and seamless weaving of ghazals, nazms, and
Sufi originals made it feel personal. By framing each composition as a lived
emotion rather than a distant classical form, Zaveri enabled younger audiences
to connect instinctively with the music, presented with an elevated aesthetic
approach.

 

The TBZ Entertainment production brought together 30
musicians on-stage from around the world, including a symphony orchestra featuring
a string chamber, choir, and a core Indian classical ensemble. Under the
baton of conductor Shantanu Patel(APD), with arrangements by
Japjisingh Valecha, the soundscape felt both rooted and refreshingly
global. 

 

The ambition was evident. Zaveri trains under Pt.
Dayal Thakur of the Patiala Gharana and Pt. Shirish Shah,
having previously studied under Ustad Mubarak Ali Khan of the Kirana Gharana.
His Western classical training at KM Music Conservatory (founded by
A.R. Rahman) and the Los Angeles College of Music gives him the technical
vocabulary to orchestrate complex arrangements while maintaining the emotive
core of Hindustani gayaki. It&#039;s this duality of classical rigour meeting
contemporary sensibility that makes Whispers of the Infinite a rare
proposition in India&#039;s live music landscape.

<title>CLARIFICATION REGARDING REGISTRATION OF FOREIGN MEDICAL GRADUATES (FMGs)</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/clarification-regarding-registration-of-foreign-medical-graduates-fmgs</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/clarification-regarding-registration-of-foreign-medical-graduates-fmgs</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Chennai, 16th December 25 :  The Tamil Nadu Medical Council (TNMC) wishes to clarify
recent media reports regarding an alleged delay in the registration of Foreign
Medical Graduates (FMGs).

 

TNMC follows a well-defined verification process
before issuing provisional eligibility and provisional registration
certificates to FMGs. This process includes scrutiny of screening test
certificates, passport and travel details, embassy verification, and
authentication of medical qualification certificates from the concerned
universities. Each of these verification steps involves coordination with
multiple agencies and naturally requires time. Through this due process, TNMC
has also identified several cases of fake or invalid certificates, which were
appropriately rejected in the interest of patient safety and public trust.

 

It is important to note that TNMC’s role is limited to
issuing provisional eligibility certificates and provisional registration
certificates after verification. The Council does not control internship
allotment or policy decisions related to training.

 

For FMGs who pursued online courses or appeared for
examinations during the COVID-19 pandemic or due to war-related disruptions,
the National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued specific circulars governing
their eligibility and the duration of Compulsory Rotatory Medical Internship
(CRMI). TNMC strictly follows these NMC guidelines while processing
applications.

 

As per the current 7.5% quota prescribed by NMC, the
Directorate of Medical Education (DME) is responsible for allotting CRMI
postings in NMC-recognized medical colleges across Tamil Nadu. It is also
clarified that vacancies are still available in certain medical colleges under
this quota.

 

TNMC is working towards acting in a responsible,
transparent, and balanced manner, facilitating genuine FMGs while firmly
preventing unqualified or fake practitioners from entering the medical system,
thereby safeguarding public health and welfare. ]]></description>

<title>Mansore Makes His Hindi Film Debut with Neeraj Tiwari’s Juliet — Teaser Poster Unveiled</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/mansore-makes-his-hindi-film-debut-with-neeraj-tiwaris-juliet-teaser-poster-unveiled</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/mansore-makes-his-hindi-film-debut-with-neeraj-tiwaris-juliet-teaser-poster-unveiled</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Some collaborations are strategic. Some are creative. And then there
are those rare unions that feel inevitable.

Like when National Award–winning vision meets legacy, scale, and
destiny.

Acclaimed filmmaker Mansore, one of India’s most respected voices in
contemporary cinema, now steps into Hindi cinema with Juliet — a film that
marks his Hindi debut and the beginning of an exclusive creative collaboration
with Neeraj Tiwari, the visionary producer and founder of Aagaaz Entertainment
Pvt. Ltd.

The unveiling of Juliet’s teaser poster signals more than a film
announcement. It announces a meeting of two cinematic philosophies — Mansore’s
uncompromising storytelling integrity and Neeraj Tiwari’s legacy-backed,
future-facing vision.

Mansore’s journey is already etched into Indian cinema history. A
filmmaker celebrated for his emotional honesty and social depth, he is the
recipient of three National Film Awards, two Filmfare Awards, an International
NETPAC Award, and a State Gold Medal. His cinema has never chased applause — it
has earned it. With Juliet, Mansore brings his rare, rooted voice into Hindi
cinema, promising a film driven by soul, substance, and quiet power.

At the heart of Juliet stands Neeraj Tiwari — producer, distributor,
entrepreneur, and a man whose understanding of cinema spans generations.
Carrying forward a family legacy in film and entertainment since the 1960s,
Neeraj’s early years in distribution helped shape the success of some of Indian
cinema’s most iconic and commercially defining films, including Kabhi Khushi
Kabhie Gham, Rang De Basanti, Apaharan, Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Jai Veeru, Shaadi
Mein Zaroor Aana, and Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi.

That instinct for scale and storytelling naturally evolved into
production under Aagaaz Entertainment, where Neeraj backed films such as Ek
Jhalak, Saath Tareekh (Filmfare-nominated), Iccha: The Lust, Tibba, and
Postman. His creative universe expanded further with Aagaaz Music,
collaborating with leading playback singers and delivering chart-worthy tracks.

Yet Neeraj Tiwari’s stature goes far beyond cinema. A formidable
entrepreneur, he is the owner of Ace Ship Navigation Pvt. Ltd., operating
across India and Dubai with a fleet that includes five oil tankers, and the
founder of a maritime college, bridging industry, education, and global trade.
It is this rare synthesis of creativity and command that defines Neeraj — a
producer who understands both emotion and enterprise, art and ambition.

Juliet is produced by Neeraj Tiwari, Mukesh Gupta, and Rohit K, with
Chitra Vakil Sharma and Kavita Sshibag Kapoor as co-producers. Discussions are
currently underway with well-known actors to lead the film, with announcements
expected soon.

The project also aligns with Aagaaz Entertainment’s rapidly expanding
global footprint. Recently, the banner announced a global action-comedy
starring Sanya Malhotra, co-produced with Ratpack Stories and Travelin’ Bone
Entertainment (USA) — reaffirming Aagaaz’s commitment to internationally
resonant, story-first cinema.

With a power-packed slate of five films planned for 2026, Juliet
stands tall as Aagaaz Entertainment’s flagship statement — a film that reflects
intent, integrity, and imagination.

When Mansore’s cinema of conscience meets Neeraj Tiwari’s cinema of
legacy and scale, the result is not just a film — it is a moment.

And Juliet is only the beginning…. ]]></description>

at a ceremony held at 10:00 AM, marking a significant milestone in the city&#039;s
environmental governance. BigCloudy, a leading technology solutions provider,
today launched its Tree Plantation Mobile App ‘Hareet Nashik, Smart Nashik’ in
partnership with Nashik Municipal Corporation. 

Key
Features:


 Digital identity for every planted tree
     with geo-tagged location tracking
 Real-time selfie upload and timestamp
     documentation
 Live counter tracking total trees planted
     citywide
 Trilingual interface in Marathi, Hindi,
     and English
 Order form for requesting a minimum of 25
     free saplings from the Nashik Municipal Corporation
 Centralized municipal dashboard for
     survival rate monitoring
 Free download available by clicking
     on https://app.bigcloudy.com/hareet-nashik.apk


Solving
Urban Forestry Accountability

The ‘Hareet
Nashik’ mobile application is hosted on BigCloudy’s server itself. BigCloudy is
a web
hosting provider. 

BigCloudy’s
Hareet Nashik application addresses critical challenges in urban tree
plantation programs, where survival rates and accountability have historically
remained difficult to track. The platform creates a permanent digital solution
to record each sapling, enabling citizens to document their environmental
contributions while providing municipal authorities with actionable data on
plantation activities citywide.

&quot;Every
tree planted through our app receives a digital identity complete with planter
photograph, GPS coordinates, and growth tracking capabilities,&quot; said
a BigCloudy representative. “This transforms tree plantation from a ceremonial
event into a measurable, transparent process.”

How It
Works

Users
simply plant a sapling, capture a selfie with the tree, and upload the
geo-tagged photograph through the app. The information automatically enters
Nashik&#039;s digital green registry, creating a living document that tracks the
tree&#039;s journey from sapling to maturity. Citizens can monitor real-time
plantation counts and progress across neighbourhoods. Community groups and
organizations can request bulk saplings through the integrated order form, with
Nashik Municipal Corporation providing a minimum of 25 plants free of cost.



Supporting
Green Nashik, Smart Nashik

Nashik,
known for its historic temples, vineyards, and as the host city of Kumbh Mela,
is strengthening its environmental legacy through this digital initiative.
Developed specifically to support the Nashik Municipal Corporation&#039;s Green
Nashik, Smart Nashik movement, the platform underwent intensive development to
ensure accessibility across all demographics. The trilingual interface enables
participation from all sections of society.

Minister
Mahajan&#039;s participation provides governmental endorsement and aligns with
Maharashtra&#039;s strategy of leveraging technology for environmental governance.

<description><![CDATA[  


 Modular
     Design &amp; Build offering within Table Space’s full
     lease–design–build–operate portfolio
 DESYN
     replaces traditional Design &amp; Build model through a Design – Build –
     Deliver &amp; Evolve partnership approach 

Bengaluru, December 16, 2025 : Table Space, one of India’s foremost full-lifecycle workspace
operators, announced the launch of DESYN, an intelligent, modular
Design &amp; Build ecosystem for enterprises seeking fast, flexible fit-outs
without a full managed commitment. A modular offering within Table Space’s
broader lease–design–build–operate portfolio, DESYN enables project-based
design-and-build engagements while leveraging the advantages of a full-scale
workspace operator. 

 

Derived from “Design in Sync,” DESYN introduces a new
Design–Build–Deliver &amp; Evolve framework that moves beyond the traditional
deliver-and-transfer approach, addressing the growing demand for high-quality,
cost-effective, and rapidly deployable modular workspaces. Building on this
next-generation framework, DESYN delivers a continuous, AI-powered,
technology-led partnership that replaces fragmented vendor execution with
integrated agility, keeping workspaces responsive and aligned with organisational
growth.

 

“We are constantly evolving our portfolio to
capture market opportunities, and DESYN is a major strategic addition - filling
the critical gap for intelligent, modular design-and-build solutions that
enterprises demand without full operations,” said Karan Chopra,
Chairman &amp; Co-CEO, Table Space. “Leveraging our ecosystem built
over eight years, DESYN delivers unprecedented speed, precision, and
scalability - modular today, enterprise-ready tomorrow, and perpetually
evolving with our clients’ ambitions.” 

 

Backed by over 9.9 million sq. ft. of
enterprise workspace under management, DESYN leverages Table Space’s
proprietary technology platform and national partner network for seamless
access to the full ecosystem - including ~500,000 sq. ft. of shared
amenities such as meeting rooms, training zones, lounges, and event spaces
across India. Clients also benefit from large-scale procurement efficiencies,
best-cost solutions, and a suite of proprietary tools for workspace management,
facility operations, and a white-labelled enterprise app.

 

Powered by the same intelligence platform managing
Table Space’s portfolio, DESYN integrates AI-driven design tools, digital
twin visualization, and modular construction technology to
reduce timelines and cost variability. It transforms one-time projects into
long-term capabilities, uniting design precision, delivery control, and
sustained performance. 

 

Enterprises can begin with DESYN’s modular solutions
and seamlessly transition into ready-to-move-in Suites by Table Space
or fully custom-built managed offices, all within a single connected platform
built designed for continuity and scalability. 

 

About Table Space: Table Space is one of India’s leading providers of
enterprise-managed workspace solutions, serving over 315 global corporations
with a strong emphasis on quality, scalability, and customization. Founded in
2017 by former commercial real estate professionals, the company manages more
than 9.9 million sq. ft. across 33 key clusters in India, as of March 31,
2025.  


With a solution-oriented approach, Table Space caters to a diverse client
base, including top US-headquartered MNCs and GCCs. Its offerings span from
ready-to-move-in premium managed workspaces through Suites by Table Space to
fully customized, end-to-end solutions powered by an in-house Design Studio and

<title>Inventure Academy Learners Win 5 Cambridge Outstanding Learner Awards, Including 4 Top&amp;in&amp;the&amp;World Titles</title>

<description><![CDATA[   

Bengaluru, December 2025 : Inventure Academy today announced that its students have won five
Cambridge Outstanding Learner Awards for the 2024–25 examination series,
including four Top in the World distinctions and one Top in India recognition.
These global honours place Inventure among a select group of schools worldwide
whose learners have achieved the highest possible performance at an
international level.

 

The Top in the World awards were secured by:

·      
Akshaj Goel for Cambridge IGCSE
Mathematics (Without Coursework), November 2024

·      
Akshaj Goel for Cambridge IGCSE
Additional Mathematics, June 2025

·      
Avni Agarwal for Cambridge
IGCSE Chemistry, March 2025

·      
Vittal Iyengar for Cambridge
IGCSE Mathematics (Without Coursework), November 2024

 

The Top in India award was secured by:

·      
Sohan Chakravarthy Talla for
Cambridge International AS Level Computer Science, June 2025

 

With these results, Inventure Academy’s total
Cambridge Outstanding Learner distinctions now stand at 61 since 2010, a
milestone that reflects consistent academic strength over more than a decade.

 

“These results matter deeply to us because they
reflect what we’re striving to do at a much larger level,” said Nooraine Fazal,
Founder and CEO, Inventure Academy. “Our goal is to transform education in
India while nurturing a genuine love for learning in every learner — students
and teachers alike. When learning is rooted in depth, clarity and intellectual
curiosity, excellence becomes a natural outcome.”

 

While Inventure Academy is widely recognised for its
leadership programs, entrepreneurship, innovation, arts, sports and service
learning, the school has made intentional investments over the years to build
deep academic rigour. Excellence is built through strong curriculum design,
inquiry-driven classrooms, continuous teacher development and clear
expectations of conceptual mastery.

 

In recent years, Inventure has strengthened core
academics through a set of focused initiatives. The Mathematics curriculum
across Primary and Middle School has been revitalised through the Centre of
Excellence. At the Secondary and Senior Secondary levels, scientific thinking
has been deepened through the Science Beyond Curriculum programme, which
enables Grades 9–12 students to undertake guided research projects. Some of
these are published in Scientific Inventurer, our in-house research
journal. In addition, several student research initiatives are supported
through collaborations with external organisations such as the Prayoga
Institute of Education Research, whose Anveshana programme empowers high-school
students to pursue original scientific inquiry. In parallel, the Computer
Science curriculum has been redesigned to reinforce computational thinking,
practical application and industry relevance across grades.

These Cambridge honours come in the same academic year that Inventure Academy
achieved top national recognition in the EducationWorld India School Rankings
2025–26. The Whitefield–Sarjapur campus was ranked the #1 Ivy League Day School
in India with a 5-star rating. The Yeshwanthpur campus was named the #1
Emerging High-Potential School in the country. Inventure’s partner government
school, Ramagondanahalli Government School, was ranked the #1 Government School
in Karnataka. These independent national rankings further reaffirm the school’s
academic and institutional strength.

 

Together, the Cambridge Outstanding Learner Awards and
the EducationWorld rankings underline a simple reality. Inventure Academy’s
education model does not separate strong academics from broader learning. It
builds both with equal seriousness.

 

As Inventure celebrates its learners and faculty for
these global achievements, the school continues to invest in a learning culture
where rigour, relevance and joy coexist, and where academic excellence is a
natural outcome of purposeful education.

 

About Inventure Academy



Inventure Academy, founded in 2005 and ranked #1 Day
School in India in 2024 and 2025 by the EducationWorld India School Rankings,
is committed to nurturing 100,000 changemakers through holistic education,
innovation labs, changemaker and community outreach programs. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[    

Surat-based career tech startup introduces adaptive
difficulty engine, statistical AIR estimation, and personalized study plans
targeting government job aspirants across India

 

SURAT, GUJARAT – KarmSakha, India&#039;s emerging career
technology platform, has announced the launch of its enhanced Mock Test
Platform featuring intelligent features designed to transform government job
exam preparation for millions of aspirants across India.

 

The platform introduces an Adaptive Difficulty Engine built
on Item Response Theory (IRT) that dynamically adjusts question difficulty
based on real-time candidate performance. This personalized approach ensures
each aspirant receives a tailored learning experience, maximizing preparation
efficiency without expensive coaching center subscriptions.

 

Platform Scale and Offerings

 

The KarmSakha Mock Test Platform now offers:

- Free mock tests covering SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, IBPS PO, IBPS
Clerk, SBI PO, RRB NTPC, and NRA CET preparation

- 50,000+ active government job listings updated daily from
central and state governments

- Support for 10 Indian languages including Hindi, Tamil,
Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, and Punjabi

- AI-powered interview preparation with voice and text modes

- ATS-optimized resume builder for government job

NRA CET 2026: First-Mover Advantage

 

A key differentiator is KarmSakha&#039;s dedicated NRA CET 2026
Preparation Hub. With the National Recruitment Agency set to conduct the Common
Eligibility Test as a unified preliminary screening for Group B and C posts—replacing
multiple examinations by SSC, IBPS, and RRB—the platform has invested in
creating comprehensive preparation resources.

 

The hub includes complete syllabus breakdown covering
Quantitative Aptitude, General Intelligence &amp; Reasoning, and General Awareness,
along with CET-aligned practice tests based on expected exam patterns.

 

Technology-Driven Features

 

Statistical AIR Estimation: After completing any mock test,
candidates receive an estimated All India Rank based on the performance of the
entire test-taker pool. The system provides percentile calculations, rank
brackets (Top 1%, 5%, 10%, 25%), and historical trend analysis showing
improvement over multiple attempts.

 

Adaptive Difficulty Engine: Similar to CAT (Computer
Adaptive Testing) used in exams like GMAT, the engine tracks real-time
performance and adjusts question difficulty accordingly. When candidates answer
correctly, difficulty increases; incorrect answers trigger easier questions to
build foundational understanding.

 

Dynamic Current Affairs Integration: The platform
automatically generates quiz questions from curated current affairs articles
relevant to UPSC, SSC, Banking, and Railway examinations, addressing one of the
most challenging aspects of government exam preparation.

 

Personalized Study Plan Generator: Based on test
performance, target exam date, and available study hours, the platform
generates customized weekly schedules with daily focus topics, priority areas
based on exam weightage, and milestone checkpoints.

 

PYQ Topic Frequency Analysis: Historical analysis reveals
which topics appear most frequently across major examinations, helping
candidates prioritize study efforts based on actual exam patterns and weightage
data.

 

Real-time Pacing Alerts: During mock tests, candidates receive
intelligent feedback on their time management, including pace indicators and
motivational elements to maintain engagement during the critical exam
simulation.

 

Addressing Digital Divide

 

The platform&#039;s multilingual support for 10 Indian languages
ensures accessibility for aspirants across linguistic demographics. The design
optimizations enable users with varying internet connectivity to access
preparation resources effectively.

 

&quot;Every year, over 10 million aspirants appear for
government job examinations across India, yet access to quality preparation
resources remains concentrated in metropolitan areas. With these features,
we&#039;re bringing coaching-center-quality preparation tools directly to aspirants&#039;
smartphones, regardless of where they live. Our mission is to ensure that a
student in Jhansi has the same preparation advantages as one in Delhi,&quot;
said Yaman Khetan, Founder, KarmSakha.

 

Business Model

 

All mock tests are available free of charge with no
registration required for basic features. Premium subscribers gain access to
advanced analytics, unlimited test attempts, and priority support. The freemium
model is designed to maximize accessibility while building a sustainable
business.

<title>Raghunath Yemul Guruji urges the Prime Minister to declare December 10 as ‘Researcher Day’ or ‘Scientist Day’</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune, December 10 : Research is a process shaped through
years of dedication, struggle and sacrifice, and behind the easy availability
of various objects used in daily life lies a long history of efforts made by
researchers. While days like Children’s Day, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day and
Valentine’s Day are celebrated, there is a growing demand to honour researchers
who contribute significantly to improving the quality of life. Therefore,
December 10 should be declared as ‘National Researcher Day or Scientist Day’, a
request that has been submitted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This demand
has been made through a letter by RANCHO and DICCAI founder Raghunath Yemul
Guruji.

Since 2013, this initiative has been consistently pursued
with the aim of securing global recognition and respect for researchers. Guruji
Yemul stated that Nobel Prizes are awarded to researchers worldwide on December
10, and on this very day in 1930, Indian scientist Dr. C. V. Raman received the
Nobel Prize. Hence, the date has historical significance. As November 21 is
also observed as Dr. Raman’s death anniversary, it has been proposed that
either of these two dates be declared as “National Researcher and Scientist
Day.”

According to Guruji Yemul, researchers and innovators form
the foundation of India’s scientific progress. Celebrating Researcher
Day—similar to Teachers’ Day, Doctors’ Day and Engineers’ Day—would greatly
encourage science, research, innovation and young researchers. He emphasized
that researchers deserve national honours, awards and recognition, and such
initiatives would inspire India to move towards the goal of a Developed India
2047.

 

RANCHO’s initiative ‘Research India Research’ aims to
develop scientific curiosity and experimental thinking among school students.
Through scientific models, presentations and animations, students are motivated
towards research. The organization seeks to promote knowledge-sharing between
researchers and industry leaders. It has appealed to the public and the
government to recognize December 10 as ‘Researcher Day’ at the global level.

Under the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative, DICCAI celebrated
Researcher Day on December 10. Researchers who made notable contributions in
the field were felicitated during the event. Organizers mentioned that letters
requesting official recognition have been sent to the central and state
governments. Guruji Yemul stated that since researchers and scientists are
fundamental pillars of society, there is a strong need for a National
Researcher Day to honour their work.

The letter sent to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requests
that either November 21 or December 10 be officially declared as “Researchers
&amp; Innovators Day.” Highlighting Dr. Raman’s contribution, the global
recognition of the Raman Effect and the crucial role of researchers, the letter
states that such a day would promote science, innovation, startup culture and
young researchers. The letter also mentions that honouring researchers is an
essential step for India’s progress.

The Young Researcher Sir C.V. Raman Award, presented by the Researchers and
Naturally Clever Human Organization (Rancho) and the Divyang Indian Chamber of
Commerce and Industry (DICCAI), was conferred upon researcher Vicky Modi and
scientist &amp; Torchit founder Honey Bhagchandani. The award was presented by
social worker Dinesh K. Bhal, Rancho and DICCAI founder &amp; chairman
Raghunath Yemul, and CEO Amit Agrawal. Organisers stated that both awardees
were selected for their significant contributions to the fields of disability
empowerment, research, innovation, and assistive technology. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], December 15: Navrachana University, Vadodara, successfully concluded its 13th Convocation Ceremony on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at Navrachana International School, commemorating the achievements of its graduating students. The event was attended by students, parents, faculty members, trustees and senior academic leadership.A total of 844 students from the Schools of Business &amp; Law (SBL), Engineering &amp; Technology (SET), Science (SoS), Environmental Design &amp; Architecture (SEDA), and Liberal Studies &amp; Education (SLSE) under 25 programmes were awarded degrees, marking a graduation success rate of 96%. The graduating cohort comprised 451 female and 393 male students, including 7 PhD awardees and 19 Gold Medallists, making the ceremony a significant academic milestone for the University.

Drawing inspiration from ideas he has explored in his academic and motivational writings, he spoke about the importance of coordinated purpose—much like the precision and harmony required when multiple entities move together towards a shared trajectory—and the value of intentional pauses in one’s journey that allow reflection, recalibration and renewed momentum. He encouraged interdisciplinary learning, humility and urgency in life, remarked that “AI minus I is just A,” and called upon graduates to give back to society and work towards building a developed India with integrity and commitment—every day.Leadership RemarksCongratulating the graduating class, Shri Rahul Amin, President, Navrachana University, encouraged students to carry forward the values of discipline, excellence and responsible leadership as they embark on their professional journeys.Smt.

<title>D2C brand Casekaro announces free N95 masks with every order</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/d2c-brand-casekaro-announces-free-n95-masks-with-every-order</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/d2c-brand-casekaro-announces-free-n95-masks-with-every-order</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a groundbreaking initiative blending customer
wellness with premium mobile accessories, direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand Casekaro has launched an exclusive offer of
N95 masks absolutely free with every purchase. This is a limited-time offer
from CaseKaro, featuring its popular ₹69 mobile cover and other offerings.

 

With the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching an
all-time high and rising consumer awareness about breathing healthy air, the
company positions itself not just as a market leader for tech accessories but
also as a customer-centric brand that cares for its customers.

Casekaro is an emerging D2C brand that offers
high-quality, customisable mobile back covers and other mobile accessories.
Casekaro has disrupted the mobile accessory market with its affordable,
high-quality cases. 

Its N95 mask offer has created a buzz in the industry.
Customers can simply add their favourite accessories from casekaro.com to their
cart, and the masks ship free, ensuring seamless protection on the go.



What is Casekaro actually offering?

The timing couldn’t have been more apt. As the AQI of
Delhi and many metros have crossed hazardous standards and the flu season
begins with no end in sight, N95 masks have shifted from a pandemic product to
a daily necessity. It was an opportunity that Casekaro capitalised on as they
began offering high-quality N95 masks that meet Indian standards to their buyers,
ensuring that they are not just selling products; they are also concerned about
their customers&#039; health.

This health-tech fusion sets the company apart from
its competition and establishes loyalty and brand value among its customers
within a highly competitive D2C market.

Casekaro&#039;s core strength lies in its high quality,
unique back covers, designed for the latest flagships. Its iPhone 17
back cover collection stands out for its high-quality, stylish, and
functional cases, providing iPhones with a style statement. Its iPhone cases
are crafted from shock-absorbent TPU and polycarbonate hybrid material, which
provides military-grade drop protection and features dynamic prints ranging
from matte black designs to some unique Indian designs.  

It includes features like raised bezels that protect
the screen and camera from breakage, MagSafe compatibility, and anti-yellowing
technology.

Android loyalists aren&#039;t left behind. The
company’s Google Pixel 9 back cover lineup offers a perfect fit for
Google&#039;s camera-centric beast, with textures that will not let it slip and
wireless charging capabilities, using scratch-resistant materials that protect
it from various daily stresses like fingerprints and scratches. Google Pixel
enthusiasts have appreciated the company’s mobile cases&#039; slim profile and
360-degree coverage to provide protection under all circumstances.

Apart from this, the company offers affordable and
luxe cases for a wide range of models across brands.

 

Casekaro’s a customer-centric approach

As a pure-play D2C brand, Casekaro eliminates
middlemen, passing savings directly to customers&#039; pockets. It offers
premium-quality mobile cases at factory pricing, with no minimum order value
restriction. The free N95 mask limited-time offer is now live across all
categories on the casekaro platform, be it on Instagram or its website.

“We began the mask campaign as part of our ongoing
commitment to social welfare and our desire to positively impact people’s
lives. Recognising the growing threat due to rising pollution levels, we saw an
opportunity to provide free masks to the community. Along with distribution, we
want to raise awareness about the health risks associated with pollution and
encourage proactive measures to protect public health,” stated Rahul Parmar,
Founder of Casekaro.

It is not just the phones that Casekaro is
protecting. It’s you. Protect your phone and your health with Casekaro. ]]></description>

<title>CurlSek Secures Funding from Capital3 to Scale Its AI&amp;Powered Continuous Pentesting Platform</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/curlsek-secures-funding-from-capital3-to-scale-its-ai-powered-continuous-pentesting-platform</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/curlsek-secures-funding-from-capital3-to-scale-its-ai-powered-continuous-pentesting-platform</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ CurlSek,
a next-generation AI-powered cybersecurity company, announced it has raised an
undisclosed angel funding round from US-based VC Capital3. The investment will
accelerate the deployment of the CurlSek Intelligence Suite, an
autonomous Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) platform designed to close
the critical gap between the velocity of modern software engineering and the
speed of security assessments.​

As
enterprises increasingly integrate AI into their development stacks,
traditional security testing - often manual, periodic, and slow - has struggled
to keep pace. CurlSek addresses this challenge with a &quot;continuous
offensive security&quot; model. The company’s flagship platform utilizes a
modular, agentic architecture where autonomous AI agents (Threatmesh, Probe,
Vulnauts, and Fixly) perform real-time penetration tests, validating
vulnerabilities with a precision that rivals human experts.

&quot;The
security market is shifting from manual testing to intelligent, autonomous
systems, and we are building the infrastructure for that future,&quot; said Mohd
Sohaib, Co-Founder and CEO of CurlSek. &quot;Companies are adopting AI
across their stacks, yet their security assessment processes remain reactive.
CurlSek is closing that gap. This investment accelerates our roadmap and helps
us bring continuous, AI-driven pentesting to a global market that demands
speed, precision, and reliability&quot;.​

Validated Precision at
Machine Speed

Unlike
traditional scanners that flood developers with false positives, CurlSek’s
platform focuses on validated exploitability. The company reports that
its agents have achieved over 90% accuracy across eight major categories
of the OWASP Top 10 benchmarks. By simulating real-world attacker behavior, the
platform can identify and validate complex business logic flaws that
conventional tools often miss.

The
platform’s capabilities were recently demonstrated during the emergence of the
&quot;React2Shell&quot; vulnerability. CurlSek’s engine rapidly deployed a
Proof of Concept (PoC) to detect the flaw, showcasing the system&#039;s ability to
adapt to new threats instantly - a critical advantage over static testing
schedules.

Rinkish
Khera, Co-Founder and Chief Information Officer,
emphasized the operational impact: &quot;We see a clear inflection point:
organizations want deeper security coverage without increasing operational
overhead. With CurlSek, we are delivering validated offensive security at
scale, not just scan results. The support from Capital3 is a strong signal that
the market is ready for autonomous security testing that actually reflects
attacker behavior&quot;.

Backed by Deep
Technical Expertise

CurlSek
was founded by industry veterans with deep roots in offensive security and
large-scale system design. Sohaib, a former Director of Engineering at a
high-growth fintech startup, brings expertise in building AI-driven risk
platforms. Rinkish, a recognized security researcher featured in the Google
Hall of Fame, has secured mission-critical systems for major financial
institutions across the Middle East and Asia.​

Capital3
LLC, known for investing in deep tech startups, cited the team’s technical
maturity as a key driver for the deal. &quot;CurlSek stood out to us for two
reasons: the strength of the founding team and the maturity of the product at
this stage,&quot; said a representative from Capital3. &quot;Achieving this
level of accuracy and exploit validation with autonomous agents is incredibly
difficult, yet CurlSek has done it with a lean, highly technical team&quot;.

Availability

CurlSek
is currently working with select design partners in India and the US and will
begin broader customer onboarding in January 2026. The platform supports
seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines, allowing engineering teams to
automate security within their existing workflows.

About CurlSek

CurlSek
is an AI-first cybersecurity company redefining web vulnerability assessment
through autonomous Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS). Headquartered in
Uttar Pradesh (India) with a focus on the global market, CurlSek combines the
rigor of manual red teaming with the speed of AI to deliver continuous,
validated security for modern enterprises.

<description><![CDATA[ In today’s competitive digital ecosystem, Facebook advertising is no longer
about boosting posts or chasing vanity metrics. It’s about performance, scalability,
and real business growth. This is exactly where Rahul Social Advertising
has carved its niche and earned recognition as the Best
Facebook Ads Agency in India.

By combining
data-driven strategies, creative excellence, and a deep understanding of the
Indian market, Rahul Social Advertising has helped brands consistently turn ad
spend into revenue. Here’s how the agency built its reputation and why
businesses across India trust it for Facebook advertising success.

 

 

A Performance-First Approach That Delivers Real Results

Unlike many
agencies that focus on impressions and clicks, Rahul Social Advertising is
built on a performance-first mindset. Every campaign is designed with
clear business goals—whether it’s lead generation, eCommerce sales, app
installs, or brand scaling.

The team
prioritizes:

●     
High-quality leads instead of
cheap traffic

●     
Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) over
reach

●     
Sustainable growth over
short-term wins



This
results-oriented philosophy has played a key role in positioning Rahul Social
Advertising as the Best Facebook Ads Agency in India for
growth-focused brands.

Data-Driven Strategies Backed by Continuous Optimization

What truly
separates the best agencies from the rest is how they use data. Rahul Social
Advertising doesn’t rely on guesswork. Every decision is backed by insights
from real-time performance data.

Key optimization
practices include:

●     
Daily performance monitoring

●     
A/B testing of creatives,
copies, and audiences

●     
Funnel-level conversion
analysis

●     
Cost-per-result and ROAS
optimization



This
data-centric execution ensures that clients always get maximum value from their
Facebook ad budgets.

 

Creative That Converts, Not Just Looks Good

In Facebook
advertising, creative is king—but only when it converts. Rahul Social
Advertising blends performance psychology with compelling visuals and
copywriting to create ads that stop the scroll and drive action.

The agency
focuses on:

●     
Audience pain-point driven
messaging

●     
Platform-native creatives

●     
Short-form video ads optimized
for conversions

●     
Clear CTAs aligned with user
intent



This creative
strategy has helped brands achieve higher click-through rates, lower
acquisition costs, and better overall campaign performance.

 

Transparent Communication and Client Trust

One major reason
Rahul Social Advertising is trusted as the Best Facebook Ads Agency in India
is its commitment to transparency. Clients always know:

●     
Where their money is being
spent

●     
How campaigns are performing

●     
What’s working and what needs
improvement



Regular
reporting, honest insights, and proactive recommendations build long-term
client relationships rather than short-term contracts.

 

Proven Success Across Multiple Industries

From startups to
established brands, Rahul Social Advertising has successfully managed Facebook
ad campaigns across industries such as:

●     
eCommerce

●     
Real estate

●     
Education

●     
Healthcare

●     
Service-based businesses



This diverse
experience allows the agency to customize strategies based on industry behavior
and customer buying patterns, leading to consistent results.

 

Founder-Led Vision Focused on Results

At the core of
the agency is Rahul Rana, whose hands-on involvement ensures every
campaign meets high performance standards. The vision is simple yet powerful:
 Deliver measurable growth, not
marketing fluff.

This founder-led
approach has helped Rahul Social Advertising stand out in a crowded agency
market and build a strong reputation nationwide.

 

Why Brands Call Rahul Social Advertising the Best Facebook Ads
Agency in India

To summarize,
Rahul Social Advertising earned its reputation by delivering:

●     
ROI-focused Facebook ad
strategies

●     
Advanced Meta Ads expertise

●     
Data-driven campaign execution

For brands
serious about growth, partnering with the Best Facebook Ads Agency in India
isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/involute-metal-powders-breakthrough-in-strengthening-indias-manufacturing-self-reliance</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/involute-metal-powders-breakthrough-in-strengthening-indias-manufacturing-self-reliance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, 15, December 2025 : Involute Metal Powders Technologies
(IMPT), a pioneering force in metal powder manufacturing, today announced a
comprehensive portfolio of indigenous technologies and products aimed at
transforming India’s powder metallurgy landscape. With decades of expertise,
patented processes, and proven industrial setups, IMPT is positioned to
accelerate India’s shift from dependency on imports to global leadership in
advanced powder materials.

For over 40 years, IMPT has led the establishment of metal powder
manufacturing units across the country, enabling production of copper, bronze,
tin, diluted bronze, sponge iron powders, ferrous powders, and partial alloys. 

The company’s proprietary reduction technologies and indigenous
furnace designs significantly enhance material performance and reliability for
powder metallurgical applications, addressing one of the most critical gaps in
India’s automotive, engineering, and sintered components industries.

Despite rising domestic demand, India continues to import a large
share of metal powders. IMPT’s proven technology creates a
powerful import-substitution opportunity, particularly in the non-ferrous
segment, where its patented partially alloyed bronze powder delivers superior
performance with reduced operational complexity and production costs.

. Indigenous Products Ready for Deployment

●     
Sponge Iron &amp;
Carbon-Free Iron Powders – Import substitution for
automotive and sintered components; aligns with green metallurgical standards.

●     
High-Purity Magnetite &amp;
Tailings-Derived Magnetite – Supports coal
washeries, ammonia production, and sustainable mining via “waste-to-resource”
recovery.

●     
Copper, Bronze, Diluted
Bronze &amp; Cobalt Powders – Critical for
electricals, electronics, renewables, and high-performance alloys.

●     
Manganese Powder – High-temperature solid-state reduction for domestic production.

R&amp;D Pipeline in Strategic Materials

Titanium powder, rare-earth magnet materials (Neodymium oxide
route), nickel powders, and advanced manganese reduction technologies.

These align with national missions in EVs, renewable energy,
electronics manufacturing, defence materials, and advanced metallurgy.

Key Advantages for Government &amp; Public Sector Adoption


 Strong Import Substitution Potential across automotive, defence, mining, and green energy sectors.
 100% Indigenous Technology — Patented reduction methods and furnace designs developed in
     India.
 Circular Economy Impact — Recovery of magnetite from iron ore tailings and scrap-based
     raw material utilization.
 Scalable Manufacturing — Integrated facility capacity of 160 tonnes/year, expandable
     to 500 tonnes/year in Year 2.
 Sustainability Alignment — Carbon-free sponge iron powder and low-emission processes
     meeting green manufacturing norms.
 Job Creation &amp; Skill Development — In-house training programs for plant operation, design,
     layout, and technology deployment.
 Proven Track Record — Over 40 years of metal powder expertise and successful
     commercial setups.
 Strategic Material Security — Reducing dependence on global supply chains for cobalt,
     copper, bronze, and magnetite.


These  technologies are
directly aligned and  support key
Government of India initiatives:

●     
Make in India

●     
National Green Hydrogen
Mission

●     
Mining &amp; Mineral
Resource Efficiency Policy

By replacing imports with high-quality indigenous powders, IMPT
strengthens India’s industrial resilience and accelerates domestic value
creation in critical sectors.

<description><![CDATA[ Under the guidance of Defence Minister Rajnath
Singh Ji, the collaboration advances safety, mobility and livelihoods

New Delhi, 15 December 2025 : In line with its #BrighterLivesBetterWorld vision, Signify, the world leader in lighting,
announces the street LEDification of 100 villages along the Indo–Nepal border,
in collaboration with Tarq Foundation. This transformative initiative is
being undertaken under the guidance of Shri Rajnath Singh Ji, Hon’ble
Defence Minister of India, whose vision for safer, empowered, and
better-connected border communities anchors this effort.

 

Stretching across 1700 km, the Indo–Nepal border is
home to resilient and vibrant communities whose daily lives often unfold
against infrastructural and safety-related constraints. Limited street lighting
has long impacted mobility, economic activity, and community safety after dusk.
The introduction of energy-efficient LED streetlights across these villages
marks a significant step towards addressing these ground realities, creating
safer evenings, supporting local livelihoods, and promoting stronger community
networks. 

 

Mr. Nikhil Gupta, Head of Marketing, Strategy,
Govt. Affairs &amp; CSR - Signify, Greater India said, “At Signify, we believe in bringing the best of
innovations to the communities across India, through our Har Gaon Roshan CSR
initiative. Through this initiative, we aim to bring long-term safety,
sustainability, and confidence to border communities. This partnership reflects
our commitment to using light to positively impact lives in India, fostering
sustainable growth and community empowerment.” 

 

Building on this vision, the project has been designed
to meet practical ground-level needs. Each village was identified
based on community input, footfall patterns, and specific safety
concerns. 

 

Manoviraj Singh and Lakshana Asthana, Founding
Partners at Tarq Foundation, stated, “Real
development starts by listening to the people it is meant to serve. Border
communities have their own unique rhythms: evening markets, long walks home
from school, and the daily movement of women whose sense of safety is directly
shaped by how well-lit their surroundings are. This initiative responds to
these lived realities. In these villages, light is not symbolic; it is
practical, protective, and deeply empowering.”

 

The LED streetlighting of 100 Indo–Nepal border
villages stand as a significant milestone in improving rural safety and
community well-being. The partnership reinforces a long-term commitment to
building resilient border communities. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Wodehouse
Capital leads transaction advisory, supporting OIC’s strategic entry into India

Medi-Mold,
a leading manufacturer of medical-grade molds and precision tooling based
within the Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ), has entered into a strategic
partnership with OIC International (USA) and AddUp (France) to establish a
state-of-the-art 3D printed orthopaedic implant manufacturing facility in
Vizag, India.

The
memorandum of understanding for this strategic collaboration was signed in New
Delhi in the presence of Mr. Ajay Sood, Principal scientific adviser to the
Government of India (PMO Office, New Delhi).

The
partnership brings together US-based OIC’s FDA-approved implant technology,
French additive manufacturing systems, and India’s largest MedTech ecosystem
(AMTZ). A dedicated manufacturing line will be set up within AMTZ to produce
3D-printed orthopaedic implants across trauma, spine, hip, and other segments.

Shri
Shetty, Co-Founder &amp; CEO, OIC International said, “This partnership strengthens our commitment
to India and enables us to bring world-class, FDA-approved, 3D printed
orthopaedic implants to one of the fastest-growing markets globally.”

As part of
the transaction, Medi-Mold has agreed to an investment outlay of INR over 100
crores towards OIC International’s setup, India entry, manufacturing, and
expansion plans. The capital will be deployed to set up and scale the 3D
printed implants facility and localize production, thereb y reducing India’s
reliance on imports. It will also support the transfer of proprietary
technology, patents, and manufacturing SOPs, and the development of a
specialized workforce for advanced MedTech manufacturing.

The facility will leverage AMTZ’s advanced testing labs, machining
centres, and regulatory infrastructure to produce high-quality implants
at globally competitive costs. This entire initiative is well supported by Dr.
Jitendra Sharma, AMTZ.

Dr.
Teja, Chief Executive Officer from Medi-Mold added, “AMTZ and Medi Mold are proud to host this technologically
advanced facility, aligning with India’s vision of becoming a global MedTech
manufacturing hub.”

Wodehouse
Capital Advisors acted as the exclusive financial and India market entry
advisor to OIC for this transaction. The firm supported the evaluation of
suitable partners, the structuring of the commercial arrangement, and the
overall approach for OIC’s expansion into India. This marks Wodehouse Capital’s
fifth healthcare transaction in the last 12 months, reflecting its continued
work across the healthcare sector in segments such as medical devices,
diagnostics, and single-specialty healthcare services.

Sraboni
Haralalka, Executive Director, Wodehouse Capital Advisors said, “We are delighted to have advised on
this marquee cross-border transaction. This collaboration sets the stage for
India to emerge as a global center for advanced orthopaedic implant
manufacturing.”

<description><![CDATA[ Gurugram, [December,15, 2025]: Vahani Scholarship Trust hosted the screening of its documentary ‘Right
to Dream’ in Gurugram, bringing together educators, policymakers,
public health leaders, and philanthropists to reflect on access, equity, and
aspiration in India’s higher education landscape.

The documentary traces Vahani’s work over the years in
supporting first-generation learners and students from marginalized
backgrounds, highlighting how financial aid, mentorship, and sustained
institutional support can alter educational trajectories that are often shaped
by structural disadvantage. Through a student’s narrative, the film positions
higher education not merely as an endpoint, but as a continuum influenced by
schooling, policy choices, and social context.

The screening was followed by a panel discussion
featuring; Dr. Virander S. Chauhan, Padma Shri Awardee Scientist; Former
Chairman, UGC &amp; NAAC; Secretary Rhodes India; Member of INLAKS and
Felix Selection Committees, New Delhi; Ms. Reeva Misra, Founder &amp;
Chairperson, Vahani Scholarship Trust; Mr. Anish Gawande, Honourable National
Spokesperson, Nationalist Congress Party, and Dr. Ayesha Chaudhary, India
Director at WomenLift Health. The panel was moderated by Dr. Sukriti Chauhan,
INLAKS Scholar and CEO, ETI.  

During the discussion, Dr. Virander S. Chauhan noted
that back in 60s and 70s having access to education itself was a big challenge,
and year later, despite making progress, “scholarships remain highly
competitive and unevenly accessible,” Appreciating the key work Vahani
does, he added that real scale would require “not one Vahani, but a hundred.”.
Reflecting on Vahani’s decade-long journey, Ms. Reeva Misra reiterated
that “access to education and health are the basic tenets of an
equitable life,” She highlighted the paradox that exists- that despite
advancements in technology, the gap remains in making the best use of these.
She urged young people to combine purpose with action, and truly be the change
they want to see in the world. Mr. Anish Gawande stressed that “equity and
access are deeply political issues,” calling for mental health and
technology to move beyond elite institutions and have a wide reaching impact.
He emphasised the key role that both government as well as private entities
need to play truly address the crisis between merit and access.  Dr.
Ayesha Chaudhary, using her experience of navigating through PhD admissions
highlighted the leadership gap for women that stems from the ‘first impression’
selection committees have of them and noted that while policies matter, “leaders
create systems,” and emphasised the need for mentorship and institutional
empathy. 

The discussion examined why representation in academic
and decision-making spaces remains limited, and how scholarship models, policy
intent, and institutional practices must work together to create pathways that
are not only accessible, but sustainable and dignified.

The conversation underscored a shared recognition that
access to higher education must be approached as a continuum shaped by policy,
institutional intent, leadership, and sustained support. As the panellists
noted, expanding opportunity at scale will require transparent systems,
inclusive leadership, and collective responsibility to ensure that aspiration
is met with dignity and possibility.

Vahani Scholarship Trust continues its mission to
bridge structural gaps in the education system by supporting students beyond
financial assistance accompanying them through the academic, social, and
emotional realities of higher education. ]]></description>

<title>From Global Marketing to Ayurveda: How Rohan Seth Is Restoring Trust in Traditional Wellness</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

New Delhi: At a time
when fast-acting wellness hacks and mass-market supplements dominate consumer
preferences, one Ayurvedic brand is charting a different course rooted in
authenticity, slow-crafted formulations, and scientific validation. Khayal Health, backed by over four decades
of Ayurvedic manufacturing legacy, is emerging as a purpose-driven brand
focused on restoring trust in traditional Indian wellness systems.

Founded by 25-year-old entrepreneur Rohan Seth, Khayal Health
was born not out of trend-driven ambition, but from a deeper realisation during
the COVID-19 pandemic one that reshaped Seth’s understanding of health,
heritage, and long-term well-being.

 

A Pandemic-Era Turning Point

Before entering the Ayurvedic space, Seth was working
in global marketing and managing large-scale international events in Dubai.
During the pandemic, he returned to India, where a conversation with a family
member introduced him to an Ayurvedic manufacturing legacy that had existed
within his own family for decades.

The manufacturing unit among India’s earliest
GMP-certified Ayurvedic facilities and inaugurated by His Holiness the Dalai
Lama exposed Seth to traditional processes that emphasized purification,
time-intensive formulation methods, and a holistic approach to health.

Reflecting on this shift, Seth said, “My
generation often knows more about imported supplements than about Ayurveda. Yet
the real answers to long-term health have always existed in our own history,
within a 5,000-year-old science.”

This realisation led to the launch of Khayal Health,
with a mission to make Ayurveda relevant, reliable, and trustworthy for modern
consumers.

 

Building a Purpose-Led Ayurvedic Brand

Khayal Health focuses on limited, carefully curated
formulations such as Suryatapi Shilajit, Shilajit Gold, and Sampoornprash
designed to support sustained wellness rather than instant results. The brand’s
philosophy is anchored in three core principles:

 


 Accessibility: Reintroducing Ayurveda as a daily essential rather than a
     niche or aspirational practice
 Transparency: End-to-end in-house manufacturing with strict oversight of
     sourcing, purification, and testing
 Education: Actively addressing misconceptions around Ayurvedic
     ingredients, particularly Shilajit


 

Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for purity,
heavy metals, and potency, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to quality and
accountability.

 

Global Collaborations to Strengthen Credibility

In an increasingly competitive wellness market, Khayal
Health has distinguished itself through international collaborations with
institutions such as the European Institute of Scientific Research on Ayurveda
(EISRA) and Ayurvedic Gezondheidscentrum Nederland (AGN).

These partnerships aim to integrate Khayal Health’s
formulations into global research initiatives, helping bridge traditional
Ayurvedic knowledge with modern scientific evaluation.

 

Reviving the Suryatapi Tradition (India&#039;s Purest Suryatapi
Shilajit)

One of Khayal Health’s flagship offerings, Suryatapi
Shilajit, is produced using the traditional Suryatapi Vidhi a sun-based
purification method followed over 90 to 120 days through a nine-step process.
Unlike the commonly used Agnitapi (fire-based) technique, this method relies on
gradual solar exposure to preserve potency and purity.

The result is a small-batch resin endorsed by
Ayurvedic practitioners and manufactured under expert supervision.

The brand also offers Sampoornprash, a formulation
made using Amla, Saffron, Suryatapi Shilajit, and selected herbs, designed to
support immunity, digestion, and overall vitality.  

 

Challenging Modern Wellness Myths

Education remains a central focus for Khayal Health,
particularly in addressing misconceptions surrounding Shilajit. Contrary to
popular belief, Ayurvedic texts describe Shilajit as beneficial for all
genders, supporting energy, hormonal balance, cellular repair, and stress
response.

The brand also advocates for resin-based Shilajit as
the purest form, distancing itself from highly processed alternatives such as
flavored gummies and synthetic blends increasingly prevalent in the market.

 

A Return to Ayurveda’s Original Philosophy

As the wellness industry becomes more commercialized
and complex, Khayal Health positions itself as a return to Ayurveda’s
foundational values patience, precision, and integrity.

Rather than reinventing ancient practices, the brand
focuses on preserving them with honesty and care.

As Khayal Health continues to expand across India and
international markets, its guiding mission remains unchanged: to bring
Ayurveda back into modern life with purity, transparency, and respect for
tradition. ]]></description>

economic growth, as infrastructure development and economic expansion go hand
in hand. This edition of EXCON showcased several forward-looking innovations,
particularly in the areas of sustainability and green energy, underscoring the
industry’s readiness for the future. Industry reports also indicate significant
headroom for growth, with the construction equipment sector well-positioned to
catch up with other manufacturing industries in the coming years.”

advancing Atmanirbhar Bharat in construction.​​

&quot;The 13th edition of EXCON has set new benchmarks
in scale and participation, making it the largest construction equipment
exhibition ever organized by CII. EXCON continues to serve as a vital industry-led
platform that brings together manufacturers, policymakers, and global
stakeholders, while showcasing India’s growing capabilities in construction
equipment and infrastructure solutions. The strong participation, innovative
products and technologies on display, and increasing international engagement
reflect the sector’s growing maturity and its alignment with India’s long-term
economic and sustainability priorities,&quot; said Chandrajit Banerjee,
Director General, CII. 

“EXCON truly represents the ‘festival of construction
equipment,’ and it is heartening to once again see records being broken through
collective industry effort. India today is the world’s third-largest
construction equipment market, and I am confident that we have the potential to
move to second position within the next five years. EXCON will continue to be a
vital platform for showcasing cutting-edge products and solutions that support
infrastructure development in India and across global markets,” said
Deepak Shetty, Co-Chairman, EXCON 2025.  

The event accelerated mechanization, targeting a $25
billion construction equipment market by 2030 with exports to over 135
countries, while reinforcing Bengaluru&#039;s emergence as a construction tech hub
driving India&#039;s $30 trillion economy goal by 2047.

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/finnable-wins-etbfsi-digital-lending-innovation-excellence-award-2025</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, December 15, 2025 : Finnable has been honored with the Digital Lending Innovation
Excellence Award at the ETBFSI Exceller Awards 2025, reinforcing its position
among India’s most forward-looking and disciplined lenders. The award
acknowledges our ability to combine advanced technology with strong on-ground
operations to responsibly expand credit access for India’s young salaried
workforce.

Finnable has emerged as a trusted lender for
mid-income professionals earning ₹15,000–₹50,000, a segment that
continues to remain underserved by traditional financial institutions despite
stable incomes and strong repayment behaviour. Through our differentiated
underwriting approach and customer-first design, we are helping this segment
access credit with confidence.

 

The Tech Behind the Win: Fintelligence

At the core of Finnable’s lending engine is Fintelligence,
a proprietary credit intelligence platform that unifies risk models,
behavioural insights, and operational workflows into a single, integrated
environment. Instead of depending solely on bureau data, our system evaluates
contextual signals that reflect an individual’s financial stability and intent
to repay.

The platform powers faster decisions, reduces
uncertainty in first-time borrower segments, and strengthens Finnable’s ability
to scale responsibly while maintaining asset quality that ranks among the best
in the industry.

 

Finnable’s Strong Fundamentals

Finnable’s operations are intentionally designed to
blend digital convenience with human reliability. This includes:


 Tech-enabled
     onboarding with clear, transparent journeys
 On-ground
     verification that builds credibility and reduces fraud
 On-payroll
     collections teams that ensure accountability and long-term borrower
     relationships


 

This hybrid structure has become one of Finnable’s
biggest strengths, allowing us to grow rapidly while keeping GNPA
at 1.1%—a benchmark for sustainable digital lending “India’s salaried
workforce deserves credit experiences that feel fair, intuitive, and reliable,”
said Amit Arora, Co-Founder. “This recognition reinforces our
belief that responsible technology and disciplined lending can go hand in hand.
We’re proud to build a platform that supports millions of working professionals
as they progress in their financial lives.”

Commenting on the award, Finnable’s CEO, Nitin
Gupta added, “Innovation in lending must always align with long-term
asset quality. Our approach has been to design systems that understand the
customer deeply while protecting the integrity of the loan book. This award is
a meaningful acknowledgement of that philosophy.”

About the ETBFSI Exceller Awards

The ETBFSI Exceller Awards celebrate breakthroughs
that are shaping the future of banking, financial services, and insurance in India.
Finnable’s win in the Digital Lending Innovation Excellence category
highlights its role as a leader in building transparent, technology-led credit
solutions for a new generation of consumers.

The Road Ahead for Finnable

With a mission to empower India’s rising
professionals, Finnable aims to
strengthen its technology stack, expand its reach across more cities, and
develop products that support customers across different stages of their
financial journey. The company remains focused on building a lending model that
is sustainable, data-led, and deeply aligned with customer wellbeing. ]]></description>

<title>Brandcare Globally Recognised as India&amp;apos;s Health Agency of 2025 by TopFICE</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/brandcare-globally-recognised-as-indias-health-agency-of-2025-by-topfice</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/brandcare-globally-recognised-as-indias-health-agency-of-2025-by-topfice</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The
only Indian specialised healthcare agency to receive the honour

Mumbai, 15th, 2025 : Brandcare has been named India&#039;s Health Agency of 2025 by TopFICE,
an independent global ranking platform. This is a big deal for Indian
healthcare communications. This recognition places Brandcare alongside the
world&#039;s most acclaimed healthcare specialist agencies, including Klick Health
(Canada), Igloo Lab (Colombia), VML Health (Spain and Italy), and Area 23
(USA).

The recognition is based on Brandcare&#039;s exceptional
performance across the world&#039;s leading international creativity and
effectiveness festivals during 2024-25. TopFICE&#039;s ranking looks at 72 award
shows and more than 11,000 trophies won around the world, making it a complete
measure of creative excellence.

 

About Brandcare

Brandcare is India&#039;s pioneering independent healthcare
advertising agency, established with a singular mission: to give healthcare
communication the creativity, sensitivity, and impact it deserves. Over the
years, the agency has become synonymous with campaigns that transform mindsets
across Southeast Asia.

What sets Brandcare apart is its ability to blend
scientific accuracy with creative storytelling, making complex medical concepts
simple to understand. 

With offices in India and Singapore, Brandcare has
evolved from a creative agency into a full-service healthcare communications
partner, incorporating digital capabilities, analytics, and even health tech
investments. This change shows that the agency is dedicated to its core of
health and wellness. 

 

Campaign Excellence: Award-Winning Work

The recent TopFICE recognition as the Healthcare
Agency -India is based on Brandcare’s performance in the world’s leading
international creativity and effectiveness festivals in 2024-25. The ranking
evaluates 72 award shows and more than 11000 trophies earned worldwide. 

Some recognised campaigns from Brandcare are: 

 

1. Edema Pranaam: Culture Drives Awareness

Brandcare transformed the traditional Indian gesture
of pranaam into a powerful screening cue for edema awareness. Pedal
edema—commonly dismissed as an age-related condition—can signal early heart
risk and requires timely treatment. This campaign for a leading edema brand of
Cipla, encourages younger generations to observe these signs when they bend for
pranaam, turning a cultural practice into an opportunity for health screening.

 

2. Drain Edema: Making the Invisible Urgent

A doctor’s desk overflowing with charts, risk scores,
and endless medical diagrams. It’s important to break this visual clutter. This
campaign leverages a striking and unconventional metaphor—a gumboot filled with
water, as a part of the actual foot. The image creatively brings the science of
edema to life, illustrating the accumulation of excess fluid in the body in a
way that is instantly relatable.

Supported by in-clinic materials and edema risk
scores, the campaign reframed pedal edema.

 

3. Gram Health Locket: Wearable Health Records for
Tribal Communities

In partnership with Keshav Srushtee, Brandcare
developed a secured, digitized wearable health device for tribal communities in
Western India. 

The Gram Health Locket, designed with local tribal art
sensibilities, has reached 31 tribal villages and touched 11,000 families,
receiving acclaim at the African National Rural Development Organization.

 

About TopFICE

TopFICE is a global ranking system that is not
connected to any one company. It rates and honours advertising agencies,
networks, and producers based on how well they do at major international
creative festivals and how many awards they win. It gives an unbiased, overall
picture of the best people in the industry, celebrating creativity and strategy
excellence in a number of categories.

This year marks a milestone for TopFICE as its first
edition evaluates agencies from Asia and Africa, completing the platform&#039;s goal
of offering a truly global evaluation of creative excellence. TopFICE consolidates
results from more than 60 major international festivals, with no ties to
festivals, media, brands, or holding companies, ensuring a neutral,
transparent, and unbiased ranking.



Leadership Perspective

&quot;The TopFICE global rankings recognition for
Brandcare as India&#039;s Health Agency of the Year is a testament to Indian
creativity and effectiveness,&quot; said Rashmi Thosar, Founder,
CEO, &amp; CCO of Brandcare. &quot;As an independent agency from India,
we are proud to stand amongst the best in the world. This award confirms our
belief that healthcare communication needs special care, cultural sensitivity,
and creative excellence. Our campaigns show that we can make communications
that not only inform but also change health outcomes when science and
sensitivity come together.&quot;

 

Looking Ahead

Brandcare has won awards on global platforms
like One Asia, Spikes Asia, New York Heal ]]></description>

January 10, 2026.  

Founded by industry veteran Giridhar Pai, GPA has
established a strong foothold in the Asian pest management industry, focusing
on sustainable solutions inspired by organic farming principles.

A Visionary Journey

After 25 years in corporate roles, including a pivotal
tenure as a food safety manager and as the business head of India’s largest
pest control company, Pest Control India Pvt. Ltd. (PCI), Giridhar Pai embarked
on a mission to revolutionise structural pest management (performed inside
buildings).  

Motivated by Masanobu Fukuoka’s renowned book, The One
Straw Revolution, he sought to offer pesticide-free alternatives, leveraging
his 25 years of experience and contacts in the food and pest control
industries.  

His hands-on experience establishing Pestinct Pro
Solutions Pvt. Ltd. in 2007 and growing it into India’s second-largest pest
control company over about a decade stood him in good stead in nurturing and
growing his own start-up between 2020 and 2026.

In partnership with his wife, Padmakshi Pai, Giridhar
launched GPA on January 10, 2020, to offer innovative pest management solutions
free of chemical pesticides.  

Starting with a single global partnership, the firm
has expanded its product portfolio to include products of seven international
partners, serving markets across India and the rest of Asia.  

GPA operates as a self-funded micro-enterprise using a
working capital loan from HDFC Bank and has made significant strides in the
domestic market, pan-India, and export markets, with overseas customers in the
Middle East, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

 

Key Partnerships Fuelling Growth

GPA’s first collaboration began in 2020 with
Singapore’s Pestroniks Innovations Pte. Ltd. (Pestroniks Innovations),
introducing their patented bio-visual enhancer (bio-VE+) technology through the
FLYght trap range and the Aedes-X Smart Gravitrap.  

While FLYght Traps provide effective indoor fly
monitoring, aesthetically and unobtrusively, Aedes-X is an outdoor trap that
requires only a water top-up to control Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
that cause chikungunya and dengue.  

GPA launched the FLYght One in 2020, the FLYght Duo in
2021, and the FLYght Deco in 2025, and established them as the only India-made
UV LED Insect Light Traps, proudly made in India by its partner, Pestroniks
Innovations.  

GPA is Pestroniks Innovations’ leading distributor and
has contributed immensely to the design, development and marketing of its
FLYght Trap range.  

FLYght traps are a highly sustainable fly monitoring
solution that uses very low energy and feature UV LEDs that last 50,000 years
(or more than 6 years).  

FLYght Traps are a radical replacement to conventional
UV fluorescent tube insect light traps (that consume nearly five times the
energy of FLYght Traps), require annual fluorescent tube replacement and
generate hazardous waste containing mercury.  

FLYght Traps are glass-free and a perfect substitute
for glass fluorescent UV tube containing insect light traps in the food
industry, which mandates restrictions in the use of glass in food handling
areas.

The company’s growth trajectory continued in 2022 with
a partnership with Denmark’s RodeXit N.A.  ApS, offering India’s first
custom-made rodent-proofing solution, the RodeXit All-In-One rodent seal
(RodeXit).  

GPA made India the second country in the world to
introduce RodeXit, after the United States of America.  RodeXit remains
India’s only custom-made rodent-proofing product to eliminate gaps below doors
and shutters that mice and rats commonly use to enter buildings.  

RodeXit has become a revenue generator for Pest
Control Operators (PCOs), who now offer rodent-proofing services to their
customers.  GPA has sold thousands of metres of RodeXit in India and other
countries to widely enhance product adoption, far from its country of origin,
Denmark.

In 2023, GPA expanded its offerings by teaming up with
Trece, Inc. (Trece), from the USA, and Fuji Flavours Company Ltd. (Fuji
Flavours), from Japan, making their leading stored-product insect (SPI)
monitoring tools available to Indian food companies.  Pheromone traps are
SPI monitoring tools that attract insects through odour and trap them in a
sticky glue or oil-like substance.  

Trece’s Storgard Dome Traps and moth traps are
globally the best and are now available with expert guidance on their use
through GPA’s expertise.  Fuji Flavours New Serrico Trap is a tool used to
monitor cigarette beetles in the tobacco, food, and other industries.  It
has a four-decade legacy as the gold standard of cigarette beetle
monitoring.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Complementing RodeXit, the rodent-fill fabric (branded Rodent Proof by GPA) provides another revenue-generating opportunity for PCOs to offer rodent-proofing services to building owners.  </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">GPA is the only marketer of two custom-made rodent-proofing products, RodeXit All-In-One rodent seal and Rodent Proof fill fabric in India.  </span></p>

<title>AILET 2026 Exam Analysis by LegalEdge: Difficulty Level, Good Attempts &amp;amp; Expected Cut&amp;Off</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/ailet-2026-exam-analysis-by-legaledge-difficulty-level-good-attempts-expected-cut-off</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/ailet-2026-exam-analysis-by-legaledge-difficulty-level-good-attempts-expected-cut-off</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The AILET 2026 examination for admission to NLU Delhi was
successfully conducted, with the paper being easy to moderate in overall
difficulty and closely aligned with the difficulty level observed last year. As
per LegalEdge’s initial analysis,
the exam maintained a predictable structure and tested concepts that were
largely in line with standard AILET expectations. 

Overall Difficulty Level 

The paper was balanced and manageable, with no major surprises in
terms of structure or question types. LegalEdge observed
that most sections were scoring for well-prepared candidates; however, the
General Knowledge section emerged as the key differentiator and is expected to
play a crucial role in determining ranks. Based on LegalEdge’s student
feedback and faculty review, performance in GK is likely to decide the
final edge in the merit list. 

Section-wise AILET 2026 Exam Analysis 

English Language


The English section was easy, featuring straightforward questions on
reading comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar. Candidates with consistent
preparation were able to attempt a high number of questions with strong
accuracy. 

Logical Reasoning


The Logical Reasoning section ranged from easy to moderate and
remained well within the prescribed syllabus. Questions were asked from: 

Syllogism 

Blood relations 

Coding–decoding 

Series and pattern-based reasoning 

Additionally, around four questions were based on Legal Principle–Fact
application, testing candidates’ logical interpretation in legal contexts. 

General Knowledge


The General Knowledge section was easy to moderate, though several
students found it slightly tricky, making it the deciding factor. While many
questions were direct, the blend of static GK and current affairs posed
challenges for a section of aspirants. 

Expected Cut-off and Rank Trends 

Based on the overall difficulty level, student feedback, and previous
year trends, the expected cut-off for AILET 2026 is likely to be around 120
marks out of 150. 

For reference, the closing rank for NLU Delhi last year was AIR 61,
highlighting the intense level of competition for the limited seats. 

Conclusion 

Overall, AILET 2026 can be described as a student-friendly paper,
where accuracy, composure, and strong General Knowledge preparation are
expected to play a decisive role in final rankings. 

All the best to all students!

preparedness in India by Axis Max Life Insurance in partnership with Kantar, a
leading global marketing data and analytics company. 

The Summit also provided a platform for diverse

featured senior industry leaders including Sumit Madan, Managing Director &amp;
CEO, Axis Max Life; Soumya Mohanty, Managing Director &amp; Chief Client
Officer – South Asia, Kantar; Munish Sharda, Executive Director at Axis Bank
and Non-Executive Director at Axis Max Life Insurance; Rohit Kumar Agrawala,
Director – Finance, Chennai Petroleum Corporation; and Sanjiv Bajaj, Joint
Chairman &amp; Managing Director, Bajaj Capital, who shared cross-sectoral
perspectives on financial preparedness, consumer behaviour, and long-term
wellbeing.

This was followed by a focused discussion with Rachana
Ranade, Financial Influencer and Educator, and Rahul Talwar, Director &amp;
CMO, Axis Max Life, which explored the retirement readiness among key
demographic segments such as Gen Zers, homemakers, and millennials.

Rahul Talwar, Director &amp; CMO, Axis Max Life,
said, “With increasing life expectancy ratio in
India, retirement planning will play a critical role in sustaining individual
financial security in the long term. At Axis Max Life, we have taken the lead
in building India’s one of the most comprehensive and consistent view of
retirement readiness through the India Retirement Index Study (IRIS), which is
part of our brand platform, Bharosa Talks. This survey, now in its fifth
edition, has emerged as one of the country’s most credible research platforms
in this space, offering data-driven insights into how India is preparing for
life after retirement. The India Retirement Insights Summit brings this
research to life by turning insight into action. By bringing together
leaders, experts, and influencers, we aim to drive meaningful conversations
that encourage and inspire Indians to make informed decisions and move toward a
more secure, healthier second innings.&quot;

 

IRIS 5.0: India’s Retirement Readiness at a Glance

Now in its fifth consecutive year, the India
Retirement Index Study (IRIS) continues to serve as India’s most
comprehensive benchmark on retirement preparedness, assessing financial
security, health readiness, and emotional wellbeing across Indian consumers.
The 2025 edition reflects steady progress, with the national index rising from 44
in 2022 to 48 in 2025, driven by stronger fitness habits, increased preventive
health check-ups, and higher insurance adoption. While financial confidence
remains steady, awareness around the required retirement corpus continues to be
low, with 7 in 10 respondents believing that ₹1 crore would be
sufficient for a comfortable retirement.

<description><![CDATA[  Mumbai, December 2025: The
Institute of Mass Media under the Mumbai Educational Trust (MET) brought
together imagination, industry expertise and emerging creative talent at the
Portfolio Showcase Day 2025. The inaugural event served as an exhibiting
platform for MET IMM’s advertising, PR, Entertainment, Journalism and Digital
Marketing students. Organised by MET Media Collective, Mumbai’s first
student-led campus agency, the showcase reflected MET’s emphasis on
experiential learning, where students apply classroom insights to real-world
briefs and present their work to seasoned professionals. 

This year’s event gained extraordinary significance
with the presence of Grand Master Pops KV Shridhar, Global Chief Creative
Officer at Nihilent, who reviewed student portfolios and presented the coveted
Piyush Pandey Spark Award. A towering figure in the advertising world, Pops
spent time engaging with students, offering clarity on craft and purpose. His
reflections reminded the gathering that true creativity emerges from
questioning the ordinary and embracing the unfamiliar with confidence.

The showcase also received strong support from Hon.
Trustee Shri Pankaj Bhujbal, whose encouragement continues to reinforce MET’s commitment to
nurturing industry-ready graduates. Senior Management Representative Smt.
Vishakha Bhujbal attended the event as well, appreciating the depth, quality
and professional polish reflected in the student portfolios and reaffirming the
institute’s mission to develop future-focused media talent.

Throughout the day, students presented both digital
and physical portfolios that captured their academic journeys and creative
evolution. The distinguished jury featured senior leaders from SoCheers,
Tantraa, ADfactor PR, NewsDanka, Jio Creative Labs, Burson/WPP, Capsmash Media,
Janta Cinema, ABFRL, MSL, GroupM Wavemaker, Mindshare Fulcrum and EHR Branding
&amp; GTM Consulting. Their open-ended interactions with students provided
genuine industry insight while reinforcing the importance of storytelling,
strategic clarity and execution discipline.

The most anticipated moment arrived when the Piyush
Pandey Spark Award was presented to Geeta Patel, whose portfolio
stood out for its originality, conceptual strength and meticulous detailing.
Several other students were honoured for discipline-specific excellence. Rajvi
and Anoushka received the Advertising Excellence Award, Priyanka was
recognised for Public Relations Excellence, Vaishnavi for
Digital Marketing Excellence, Bhavesh for Journalism
Excellence, and Aradhya for Entertainment and Events
Excellence. The Trustees Roll of Honour additionally acknowledged the
consistent efforts of Lionel, Karuna and Antara.

Dr. Priya Menon Nair, Director of MET Institute of
Mass Media, addressed the audience by
stating, “This portfolio showcase is not just a collection of projects.
It is a collection of memories, mistakes, rejections, conflicts, unlearning and
learning. It reflects growth, resilience and the courage to tell the world:
This is my work, and I am ready for the world to see it. And that courage is
far more valuable than any grade.”

Industry visitors including Prashant Vyas, Harsh Shah,
Shrinivasan Alley, Kalpana Rane, Ajanta Kumar, Kaveri Roy, Yusuf Shaikh, Nidhi
Laddha, Aziz Khan, Tejashree Deshmukh, Runal Mehta and Pranita Mithbaonkar
spent time with the students, offering constructive insights and reinforcing
the value of mentorship in shaping new talent.

As conversations continued into the evening, Portfolio
Showcase Day 2025 concluded on a hopeful and energising note. For the students,
the event marked a milestone in their creative journeys, encapsulating the
confidence, curiosity and courage that the media industry demands.

<title>FYERS American Gambits Welcome S45 as Co&amp;Sponsor for Global Chess League Season 3</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/fyers-american-gambits-welcome-s45-as-co-sponsor-for-global-chess-league-season-3</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, December 12, 2025 : The FYERS American Gambits, one of the Global Chess League’s most
analytics-led and innovation-driven teams, have onboarded S45, India’s first
AI-native investment bank founded by Deepank Bhandari, Pankaj Harlalka, Aman
Singh and Tushar Sharma, as a Board Co-Sponsor in a multi-year deal.

S45 joins the franchise at a time when the FYERS
American Gambits are doubling down on data, precision and high-performance
systems, values that align seamlessly with S45’s technology-first approach to
running IPOs end to end.

With deep expertise built by bankers, entrepreneurs
and engineers, S45 has already executed five IPOs since the beginning of its
operations in March 2025.

The collaboration brings together two ecosystems where
strategy, discipline and decision-making under pressure define success, capital
markets and competitive chess.

Welcoming S45 to the franchise, Prachura PP, Co-owner,
FYERS American Gambits, said, “S45 fits perfectly into the ethos of the FYERS
American Gambits: clarity, precision and bold execution. Chess is evolving into
a modern, analytics-powered sport, and having India’s first AI-native
investment bank partner with us reinforces that direction. We are thrilled to
have S45 join the Gambits family through this unprecedented three-year partnership
as we continue building a franchise that stands for intelligence, innovation
and ambition.”

Speaking about the partnership, Deepank Bhandari,
Founder, S45, said, “At S45, we believe in backing disciplined thinkers and
high-performing systems, the same values that define the FYERS American
Gambits. Chess mirrors the challenges of taking companies public: you prepare
deeply, you think ahead, and you execute with conviction. That is how we run
IPOs and how the Gambits approach every game.

We are excited to support a young, ambitious team and
to bring the worlds of capital markets, technology and competitive chess closer
for fans and founders alike. This association goes beyond sponsorship. It is a
multi-year partnership built around intelligence, structure and clarity, the
same pillars that guide S45’s work in the public markets. Together with the
FYERS American Gambits, we look forward to building a franchise that inspires
the next generation of strategic thinkers and contributes to a season that
pushes the sport forward.”

The Global Chess League returns to Mumbai from
December 13 to 24, 2025, where the FYERS American Gambits will once again field
one of the strongest and youngest analytical squads in the competition. ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">Bengaluru, December 12, 2025 : </span></b><span lang="EN-IN">The FYERS American Gambits, one of the Global Chess League’s most analytics-led and innovation-driven teams, have onboarded S45, India’s first AI-native investment bank founded by Deepank Bhandari, Pankaj Harlalka, Aman Singh and Tushar Sharma, as a Board Co-Sponsor in a multi-year deal.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">S45 joins the franchise at a time when the FYERS American Gambits are doubling down on data, precision and high-performance systems, values that align seamlessly with S45’s technology-first approach to running IPOs end to end.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">With deep expertise built by bankers, entrepreneurs and engineers, S45 has already executed five IPOs since the beginning of its operations in March 2025.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[  

Hyderabad, December 12, 2025 : Ramky Infrastructure Limited (RIL), one of India’s leading
sustainable infrastructure development companies, was recently recognised with
the prestigious &quot;Excellence in Wastewater Management&quot; award at The
Economic Times Infra Leadership Awards 2025. This accolade was presented for
the company&#039;s groundbreaking work on the Legacy Leachate Treatment Facility at
Jawahar Nagar, Hyderabad. The award was conferred during a grand ceremony in
New Delhi, celebrating innovation and excellence in infrastructure across India.

RIL&#039;s Legacy Leachate Treatment Facility, with a
capacity of 2 MLD (Million Litres Per Day), is the largest of its kind in
India, setting new standards in environmental management and sustainability.
The plant, developed using advanced Low Temperature Evaporator (LTE) technology
integrated with the Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) System, provides a
robust solution for the treatment and disposal of legacy leachate at the
Jawahar Nagar landfill site. The project underscores Ramky&#039;s commitment to environmental
sustainability and its leadership in leveraging cutting-edge technology to
tackle critical waste management challenges.

The Legacy Leachate Treatment Facility plays a crucial
role in mitigating environmental risks by efficiently treating leachate, a
by-product of solid waste, preventing soil and groundwater contamination in the
surrounding areas. The facility&#039;s innovative technology also ensures minimal
environmental footprint, further demonstrating Ramky&#039;s dedication to
responsible infrastructure development.

<title>New Intelics Cloud Analysis Indicates Potential 30–40% Cost Optimisation for Indian Enterprises Through Domestic Cloud Adoption</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/new-intelics-cloud-analysis-indicates-potential-3040-cost-optimisation-for-indian-enterprises-through-domestic-cloud-adoption</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/new-intelics-cloud-analysis-indicates-potential-3040-cost-optimisation-for-indian-enterprises-through-domestic-cloud-adoption</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The analysis highlights how locally
hosted cloud infrastructure can improve cost visibility, compliance alignment
and operational efficiency.

12 December 2025, Mumbai : Intelics Cloud today
released a data-driven industry analysis indicating that Indian enterprises may
achieve 30–40% cost optimisation by adopting domestic cloud platforms that
offer transparent pricing, INR-based billing and locally governed
infrastructure. The analysis evaluates the operational and financial impact of
foreign cloud dependency, including indirect costs related to FX exposure,
egress fees, proprietary service layers and mandatory support models.

The findings show that many Indian organisations
experience unpredictable year-on-year cost escalations on global platforms,
particularly in workloads requiring high I/O performance, storage-intensive
environments and AI computation. Domestic cloud providers, by comparison, offer
local data residency, lower-latency compute performance and simplified
compliance alignment with the DPDP Act 2023—factors increasingly relevant for
organisations operating in regulated or data-sensitive sectors.

The analysis also points to the operational benefit of
integrated CSP/MSP models, which reduce reliance on multiple third-party
partners and provide consolidated visibility across infrastructure, security
and governance.

Sharing his insights, Satyamohan Yanambaka, CEO, Intelics Cloud, commented, “Enterprises
are reassessing the total cost of cloud ownership, particularly as compliance
and governance frameworks evolve. Our analysis indicates that domestic cloud
infrastructure can provide both financial and operational advantages, supported
by transparent billing models and locally governed data environments. The
intention is not to compare providers, but to help organisations make
well-informed decisions based on their long-term digital priorities.”

With growth in data-intensive workloads and AI-led
processes, predictable resource allocation and governance-led performance have
become central to enterprise cloud planning. Local cloud infrastructure enables
organisations to maintain stronger oversight on data movement and regulatory
alignment, supporting broader digital transformation initiatives.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p><b><i><span lang="EN-IN"> The analysis highlights how locally hosted cloud infrastructure can improve cost visibility, compliance alignment and operational efficiency.</span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-IN">12 December 2025, Mumbai : </span></b><span lang="EN-IN"><a href="https://www.intelicscloud.com/"><b>Intelics Cloud</b></a><b> </b>today released a data-driven industry analysis indicating that Indian enterprises may achieve 30–40% cost optimisation by adopting domestic cloud platforms that offer transparent pricing, INR-based billing and locally governed infrastructure. The analysis evaluates the operational and financial impact of foreign cloud dependency, including indirect costs related to FX exposure, egress fees, proprietary service layers and mandatory support models.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The findings show that many Indian organisations experience unpredictable year-on-year cost escalations on global platforms, particularly in workloads requiring high I/O performance, storage-intensive environments and AI computation. Domestic cloud providers, by comparison, offer local data residency, lower-latency compute performance and simplified compliance alignment with the DPDP Act 2023—factors increasingly relevant for organisations operating in regulated or data-sensitive sectors.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The analysis also points to the operational benefit of integrated CSP/MSP models, which reduce reliance on multiple third-party partners and provide consolidated visibility across infrastructure, security and governance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Sharing his insights, Satyamohan Yanambaka, CEO, <a href="https://www.intelicscloud.com/"><b>Intelics Cloud</b></a>, commented, “<i>Enterprises are reassessing the total cost of cloud ownership, particularly as compliance and governance frameworks evolve. Our analysis indicates that domestic cloud infrastructure can provide both financial and operational advantages, supported by transparent billing models and locally governed data environments. The intention is not to compare providers, but to help organisations make well-informed decisions based on their long-term digital priorities.</i>”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">With growth in data-intensive workloads and AI-led processes, predictable resource allocation and governance-led performance have become central to enterprise cloud planning. Local cloud infrastructure enables organisations to maintain stronger oversight on data movement and regulatory alignment, supporting broader digital transformation initiatives.</span></p>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/iihmr-university-naming-the-school-of-development-studies-as-the-ml-mehta-school-of-development-studies</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ National, 12th December 2025 : The Board of Management of IIHMR University, in its 33rd meeting
approved the proposal to rename its School of Development Studies as the ML
Mehta School of Development Studies. In recognition of Shri ML Mehta’s enormous
contributions to public service, social development, institutional leadership,
and his formative role in the growth of IIHMR, the University accomplished a
significant milestone with the naming of its School of Development Studies as
the “M.L. Mehta School of Development Studies”.

Dr P.R. Sodani, President of IIHMR University, shared,
“Naming of School of Development Studies as the &#039;M.L. Mehta School of
Development Studies is an expression of our profound respect for Shri M.L.
Mehta Ji’s life and work. It symbolises our commitment to carrying forward his
values—service to society, evidence-based development, ethical governance, and
unwavering dedication to nation-building. His legacy will continue to inspire
our students, scholars, and faculty to build institutions and systems that
serve society with integrity, compassion, and innovation. Shri M.L. Mehta, as
one of the founding members of the Institute of Health Management Research
(IIHMR) and its former Trustee Secretary, played a pivotal role in shaping the
institution’s vision, values, and strategic thinking.&quot; 

Shri M. L. Mehta’s distinguished career as an Indian
Administrative Service officer, culminating in his tenure as Chief Secretary to
the Government of Rajasthan, stands as a beacon of integrity, vision, and
commitment to public welfare. His transformative contributions—ranging from
strengthening state institutions to pioneering livelihood initiatives such as
the Rajasthan Mission on Livelihoods—have had a profound impact on governance
and inclusive development across Rajasthan and beyond. His initiatives have
uplifted countless lives and continue to shape the country&#039;s developmental
thinking. ]]></description>

<title>JIWYA RAISES USD 350,000 FOLLOWING LONDON FASHION WEEK DEBUT TO SCALE ITS 100% PLANT&amp;BASED FASHION ECOSYSTEM</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai / Nashik, India — December 2025 : Jiwya Textiles Pvt. Ltd. (JIWYA), a sustainable luxury
brand pioneering a 100% plant-based, soil-to-soil fashion model, has raised USD
350,000 from UAE-based Kiara Luxe Holdings. The investment follows Jiwya’s
debut at London Fashion Week, marking a significant milestone for fully
plant-based fashion on a global runway.

In September 2025, Jiwya presented its SS26 ‘Katidha’
Collection for the
London Fashion Week at Devonshire Square with Oxford Fashion Studio,
featuring garments crafted entirely from plant-based fibres and dyes. The show
reinforced the brand’s commitment to regenerative fashion while showcasing
India’s textile heritage and artisan craftsmanship.

Founded by textile scientists Adhiraj Shinde and
Aishwarya Lahariya, Jiwya has developed a soil-to-soil ecosystem where every
material—from fibres and dyes to trims and packaging—is fully plant-derived and
biodegradable. The brand works with 150+ artisan clusters across India and
follows a strict zero-waste production model, upcycling all offcuts to ensure
no waste is generated.

Adhiraj
Shinde, Co-Founder, Jiwya, said:

“Partnering with Kiara Luxe Holdings strengthens our
ability to take plant-based fashion to global markets. This investment allows
us to scale our regenerative supply chain and establish Jiwya in major cities
worldwide.”

Aishwarya Lahariya,
Co-Founder and Designer, Jiwya, added:

“Our London Fashion Week debut marked the beginning of
a meaningful shift toward soil-positive fashion. With this funding, we can
accelerate innovation in plant-based textiles and expand the reach of our
artisan-led ecosystem.” 



The funds will be used to expand Jiwya’s global market
presence, enhance production capabilities, deepen environmental and social
impact initiatives, strengthen artisan partnerships, and accelerate R&amp;D in
plant-based fibres and dyes. These funds will enable Jiwya to be a pioneer in
global fashion with their soil-to-soil ecosystem and weave a regenerative
future of fashion.

Redbrick Capital Advisors served as the sole financial
advisor for this fundraising round. Redbrick is an 18-year-old Investment bank
with offices in Mumbai and Singapore focused on supporting SMEs in their
fund-raising journey.

<description><![CDATA[  


 As a young and disruptive brand, Rubics Group believes the
     association is representative of their ethos, values and perception
 The high-profile sponsorship heralds Rubics Group’s maiden
     foray into Mumbai’s premium real estate market early next year through
     their fresh new brand, Rubics Realty

Bold, disruptive and aspirational: the latest
announcement from Rubics Group, which is aiming to reinvigorate Mumbai’s luxury
real estate market through their upcoming brand Rubics Realty, bears all the
hallmarks of their fresh and dynamic approach to the industry. Prior to the
official debut of Rubics Realty, Rubics Group have announced their support and
sponsorship for the eagerly anticipated G.O.A.T. India Tour 2025, featuring the
acclaimed Argentine footballer, Lionel Messi. 

The four-city G.O.A.T. India Tour is one of the most
eagerly anticipated features on India’s year-ending social and cultural
calendar, bringing together a global icon, an aspirational, memorable and
world-class sporting experience, and high-profile stars and events. The tour
will kick off on December 13, and fans will not only have the opportunity to
interact with their idol in person but also relive some of the most legendary
moments from Messi’s football career. Rubics Group’s support cements their
sensational foray into the city’s premium real estate segment, where they will
shatter the monotony of traditional property offerings and set a new benchmark
in lifestyle living. In that, Rubics Group aspires to elevate the home-buying
experience by creating homes that go beyond dwellings and become expressions of
their occupants’ taste, status and desire for refined living.

“Partnering with this iconic tour signals our
commitment to associating with legendary brands and personalities whose values
align with ours. We find common ground in our shared ideals of excellence,
sophistication, and global appeal. This collaboration is more than an
endorsement: it is a declaration of who we are and who we aspire to serve —
discerning individuals who seek more than just a house, but a statement and a
lifestyle upgrade. Just as Lionel Messi has forever changed the face of the
sport, Rubics Realty is about redefining expectations. We curate exceptional
living spaces and craft experiences that speak to ambition, elegance, and
premium living,” says Suhan Shetty, Managing Director of Rubics Group.

Rubics Group will mark its official debut in the
premium luxury real estate segment early next year through the launch of Rubics
Realty. The group will also foray into the hospitality and mining sectors in
the near future.  ]]></description>

<title>Dr. Morepen Pharmacy Brings Quality &amp;amp; Affordable Medicines closer to Every Indian Home</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/dr-morepen-pharmacy-brings-quality-affordable-medicines-closer-to-every-indian-home</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/dr-morepen-pharmacy-brings-quality-affordable-medicines-closer-to-every-indian-home</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Gurugram, December 12, 2025 :  In a move that marks one of the most
strategic expansions in its 25-year consumer-health journey, Dr Morepen is
strengthening its presence in India’s fast-evolving pharmacy market through the
growing footprint of Dr Morepen Pharmacy — a tech-enabled retail
and digital pharmacy platform designed to make reliable, affordable healthcare
more accessible for every Indian household. 

While India’s pharmacy landscape remains nearly 85%
unorganised, consumer expectations are rapidly shifting. People today
want trusted brands, transparent pricing, easy access to quality
medicines, and dependable delivery. Dr Morepen Pharmacy responds to these
needs with a clear and timely promise: quality generics, honest
savings, and doorstep service backed by a legacy of trust that millions of
families already rely on.

“Dr Morepen Pharmacy is built on a simple belief —
quality healthcare should be accessible, affordable, and trustworthy for every
Indian. With this venture, we are combining Dr Morepen’s legacy with a modern,
digital-first experience that puts consumers at the centre. Our focus is on
quality generics, smart savings, and reliable delivery that truly makes health
easier and more convenient for every household.”
— Varun Suri, CEO, Consumer Division, Dr Morepen

Indian households spend nearly half of their
healthcare budgets on medicines — an expense that can be significantly lowered
with high-quality generics. Yet barriers around trust, inconsistent quality,
and limited access have prevented many from benefiting. Dr Morepen Pharmacy is
built to break these barriers by offering pharma-grade generics,
scientifically validated OTC essentials, and genuine prescription medicines —
all available through the Dr Morepen Pharmacy App and website, with delivery
across India.

Whether it is a chronic therapy refill, a last-minute
prescription, or daily wellness essentials, the platform is designed to give
consumers a smooth, dependable, and transparent experience. Every
product is curated through stringent quality checks, reflecting the same
discipline that has defined Dr Morepen’s leadership in diagnostics and wellness
for decades. 

Through its mobile app and website, Dr
Morepen Pharmacy brings the convenience of a modern, intuitive pharmacy
experience directly into consumers’ hands. Customers can easily:


 Upload
     and verify prescriptions
 Explore
     genuine medicines and high-quality generics
 Access
     Dr Morepen’s trusted OTC range
 Receive nationwide
     doorstep delivery
 Benefit
     from personalised support and smart savings on essential therapies


 

Rather than being just another digital storefront, Dr
Morepen Pharmacy is designed as a consumer-first healthcare partner
— where affordability never compromises authenticity, and convenience never
dilutes care.

 

India has one of the world’s highest out-of-pocket
health spends, making pharmacy affordability a national priority. Generic
medicines can reduce treatment costs dramatically, but consumers increasingly
seek trusted brands to guide their choices. Meanwhile, digital-pharmacy
adoption has surged across Tier 2–5 towns, signalling a clear demand for
structured, reliable pharmacy access.

 

By expanding into this category, Dr Morepen becomes
one of the few established consumer-health brands delivering a full-stack
experience — spanning diagnostics, OTC wellness, and now, pharmacy access.
This positions the company to play a pivotal role in shaping how India
experiences healthcare: simpler, more trustworthy, and more affordable.

 

Dr Morepen Pharmacy extends the brand’s long-standing
philosophy of “Health in Your Hands” into a new era of consumer empowerment.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"> <b>Gurugram, December 12, 2025</b> :  In a move that marks one of the most strategic expansions in its 25-year consumer-health journey, Dr Morepen is strengthening its presence in India’s fast-evolving pharmacy market through the growing footprint of <b>Dr Morepen Pharmacy</b> — a tech-enabled retail and digital pharmacy platform designed to make reliable, affordable healthcare more accessible for every Indian household. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">While India’s pharmacy landscape remains nearly 85% unorganised, consumer expectations are rapidly shifting. People today want <b>trusted brands, transparent pricing, easy access to quality medicines, and dependable delivery</b>. Dr Morepen Pharmacy responds to these needs with a clear and timely promise: <b>quality generics, honest savings, and doorstep service backed by a legacy of trust that millions of families already rely on</b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-IN">“Dr Morepen Pharmacy is built on a simple belief — quality healthcare should be accessible, affordable, and trustworthy for every Indian. With this venture, we are combining Dr Morepen’s legacy with a modern, digital-first experience that puts consumers at the centre. Our focus is on quality generics, smart savings, and reliable delivery that truly makes health easier and more convenient for every household.”</span></i><span lang="EN-IN"><br>— <b>Varun Suri, CEO, Consumer Division, Dr Morepen</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Indian households spend nearly half of their healthcare budgets on medicines — an expense that can be significantly lowered with high-quality generics. Yet barriers around trust, inconsistent quality, and limited access have prevented many from benefiting. Dr Morepen Pharmacy is built to break these barriers by offering <b>pharma-grade generics, scientifically validated OTC essentials, and genuine prescription medicines — all available through the Dr Morepen Pharmacy App and website, with delivery across India.</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Whether it is a chronic therapy refill, a last-minute prescription, or daily wellness essentials, the platform is designed to give consumers a <b>smooth, dependable, and transparent experience</b>. Every product is curated through stringent quality checks, reflecting the same discipline that has defined Dr Morepen’s leadership in diagnostics and wellness for decades. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Through its <b>mobile app and website</b>, Dr Morepen Pharmacy brings the convenience of a modern, intuitive pharmacy experience directly into consumers’ hands. Customers can easily:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"><span lang="EN-IN">Upload and verify prescriptions</span></span>

</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Rather than being just another digital storefront, Dr Morepen Pharmacy is designed as a <b>consumer-first healthcare partner</b> — where affordability never compromises authenticity, and convenience never dilutes care.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">India has one of the world’s highest out-of-pocket health spends, making pharmacy affordability a national priority. Generic medicines can reduce treatment costs dramatically, but consumers increasingly seek trusted brands to guide their choices. Meanwhile, digital-pharmacy adoption has surged across Tier 2–5 towns, signalling a clear demand for structured, reliable pharmacy access.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">By expanding into this category, Dr Morepen becomes one of the few established consumer-health brands delivering a <b>full-stack experience</b> — spanning diagnostics, OTC wellness, and now, pharmacy access. This positions the company to play a pivotal role in shaping how India experiences healthcare: <b>simpler, more trustworthy, and more affordable</b>.</span></p>

<title>HalfPe.com: The Platform Transforming India’s Shopping Culture With Discounts Starting at 50% and Going Up to 90% Off</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/halfpecom-the-platform-transforming-indias-shopping-culture-with-discounts-starting-at-50-and-going-up-to-90-off</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A New Kind of Shopping Experience : Imagine
opening an ecommerce platform and seeing that every single item—no
matter what you want—already comes with 50% to 90% off. No festival
needed. No midnight sale. No waiting for “the right day.” Just real discounts.
Every. Single. Day.

That’s exactly what HalfPe.com
offers, and that’s why it’s grabbing attention everywhere. At a time when
everything around us feels expensive, HalfPe.com stepped in with a simple idea:
make products truly affordable for the middle class.

Why HalfPe.com Feels Different

We’re used to a world where discounts come
with drama—big banners, countdown timers, and emotional blackmail like “ONLY
TODAY!” or “LAST FEW HOURS!” HalfPe.com quietly breaks all those rules.

There are no tricks. There are no temporary
drops. There are no fake MRPs.

This platform works on a simple promise: “Whatever
you want, you’ll find it at a fair price - every day.”

Whether you check in April, September, a
weekday, or a weekend, the discounts stay the same. Shopping suddenly becomes
peaceful. You don’t need to rush. You don’t need to compare ten apps. You don’t
even need a coupon. The deal is always on.

Born From a Simple Thought

HalfPe.com didn’t start with a fancy boardroom
idea. It started with a very real daily-life question:

“Why should an Indian middle-class family wait
for a festival just to afford something basic?”

Why wait for Diwali to upgrade your kitchen?
Why wait for New Year to buy home decor?
Why wait for a mega-sale to pick a gift?

This one thought turned into a mission—to make
things affordable every day, not occasionally.

The Heart of HalfPe.com: Real Affordability

One thing that stands out about HalfPe.com is
how deeply it understands middle-class India.
Money doesn’t stretch easily these days. Salaries stay the same, prices rise,
and families are constantly adjusting their budgets. HalfPe.com steps in as a
solution, not just a shopping platform.

This platform 
makes people feel something surprising: relief.

●       
It takes away the stress of waiting.

●       
It removes the guilt of spending.

●       
It respects the idea that every rupee matters.

That’s why shoppers feel comfortable here. It
feels like the platform is built for them, not against them.

How HalfPe Keeps Prices So Low

There’s no magic behind the discounts—it’s all
practical choices. HalfPe avoids costly marketing, celebrity ads, and
unnecessary expenses. Instead, they focus on direct sourcing, honest
margins, and keeping operations lean.

This means no inflated MRPs, no “fake 80%
off,” and no gimmicks. Just clean, honest pricing that stays stable. It’s a
simple model, but it works beautifully.

The Joy of Smart Shopping

Buying something at a fair price gives a
different kind of happiness.

●       
It makes you feel smart. 

●       
It makes you feel respected. 

●       
It removes the fear of being overcharged.

HalfPe.com 
brings back that joy—where shopping is simple, honest, and satisfying.
And this feeling is becoming a new habit for thousands of Indians.

Changing the Way India Shops

For years, Indians built their shopping
calendars around:

●       
Diwali

●       
New Year

●       
Big online sales

●       
Flash deals

●       
Pay Day offers

HalfPe.com quietly changed that pattern.
People now shop whenever they want, not when a sale tells them to. That
shift - shopping without pressure - is one of the biggest impacts HalfPe.com
has created.

A Platform With Purpose, Not Ego

HalfPe.com isn’t trying to look elite or
fancy. There’s no ego here. The platform doesn’t care about being the loudest
or the biggest. Its purpose is simple:

“If this price helps someone, it stays.” That’s
it.

In today’s world, where profit and hype
dominate everything, this kind of simplicity feels refreshing and rare.

The Road Ahead

The team behind HalfPe.com knows they’re just
getting started.  More products, more
categories, more choices - they want to expand quickly but without compromising
the idea of honest pricing.

The dream is to make every product,
from essentials to lifestyle items, available at prices that middle-class
families can comfortably afford.If they continue on this path, HalfPe.com won’t
just be another e-commerce site - it will become a daily companion for
millions of Indian shoppers.

A Quiet Revolution

HalfPe.com may not scream with flashy ads or
celebrity faces. But it is winning hearts quietly.

●       
One family at a time. 

●       
One order at a time.

●       
One honest price at a time.

In a world where everything feels overpriced,
HalfPe brings hope.

●       
It brings fairness.

●       
It brings a sense of “Finally, someone gets
it.”

Because at its core, HalfPe.com stands for one
simple belief: “You shouldn’t have to wait for a sale to afford the things you

come together to reimagine urban development and co-create solutions that truly
serve our communities and our future.”

A Platform Built for Collaboration and Real-World
Change

AndPurpose Forums were created with a simple
belief: collective progress requires collective spaces. Each edition
brings together diverse stakeholders - industry, government, finance,
grassroots innovators, and global leaders to learn from one another and
co-create solutions to India’s most urgent challenges.

Panels at the Forum are intentionally curated
for diversity of thought, ensuring that perspectives that rarely meet in
the same room come together for meaningful dialogue and practical
problem-solving. 

A core pillar of AndPurpose is to serve as a matchmaking
platform for funders, innovators, and ecosystem builders, enabling new
partnerships, shared learning, and pathways for action.

What began as a small community has now grown into a
network of 1,300+ members across India and globally - united by the
belief that sustainability and equity must go hand-in-hand.

 

Leadership Perspectives

Kamna Hazrati, Founder of AndPurpose, shared:
 “The Mumbai Forum is built on the belief that real progress happens
when leaders come together with intent and purpose. India is entering a
defining decade of social and climate transition, and collaboration is no
longer optional - it is essential. This platform aims to inspire collective
action, spotlight innovation, and unlock partnerships that can meaningfully
shift outcomes for communities and the planet.”

 

A Day Designed for Depth, Dialogue, and Action

Participants engaged in cross-sector panels, interactive
workshops, curated networking, and the Purpose Pitch innovation
showcase-designed to help leaders walk away with immediately applicable
insights, new collaborations, and clear action pathways. 

The Forum emphasised systems thinking,
practical solutions, and shared action over isolated, siloed approaches.

<title>Bhawar Group Enters the D2C Space To Change How Indians Buy Premium Products</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai/Delhi/Hyderabad/Bangalore, December 2025 : As a consumer, it becomes tricky to shop online. While the Indian
online retail market has shown commendable growth, at the same time, it is also
seeing a steep rise in fake and unreliable sellers that are damaging consumers&#039;
trust and experience.


To bypass that, we have to scan through several websites, check ratings,
reviews, their return policies, shipping time, and even then, we’re not sure if
we’ll get what we paid for.

It is easier when we are dealing with a well-established and known brand
because we have the trust that, if nothing else, at least our money will come
back to us. But how often does it happen that we find a seamless, all-in-one
shopping platform? From scrolling and sifting through multiple websites, we
usually have to buy from different places. It is an entirely different
challenge when we are looking to buy premium brands.

About 1970 Store 


To change the narrative once and for all, the 1970 Store has officially entered
the D2C space. It is the official authorized reseller and distributor for a
host of globally acclaimed brands, including Casio, Jio, Garmin, and
more. 

Powered and backed by the Bhawar Group, the 1970 Store is a multi-brand retail
platform dedicated to bringing authentic international products to Indian
consumers. In the market since the 1970s, the Bhawar Group brings over five
decades of experience, deep industry knowledge, and practical expertise.
Building on this enduring legacy, the Group now steps into the D2C space after
having long championed and shaped the B2B ecosystem.

About The Bhawar Group
Before entering the D2C space, the Bhawar Group had created a name for itself.
The Group has collaborated with 70+ brands, including Samsung, Puma,
Baskin-Robbins, CK, OnePlus, Fabindia, The Body Shop, and many more. With
offices in five countries, they have operational networks to serve a larger
market. The Group has enabled global brands to scale across India through its
trusted network and deep consumer understanding.

“The Bhawar Group was built on a mission, and we carry that same emotion
into the 1970 Store. We want every customer to feel assured that when they shop
with us, they’re choosing fairness, ethics, and products that are truly
original,” said Vinod Lunked, Director of The Bhawar Group. 

Considering the 1970 Store as its Bhawar Group official online
store, they have partnered with renowned brands such as Casio, Garmin,
Jio, Weber, Zippo, Echolac, and many more spanning categories like watches,
smart wearables, BBQ grills, windproof lighters, travel gear, and lifestyle
accessories. 

The 1970 Store, as the authorised
reseller and distributor, offers 100% original products, all warranty-backed
and sourced directly from official brand channels. It is through The 1970 Store
that Bhawar Group continues its pursuit to bridge the gap between Indian
consumers and global brands while safeguarding the authenticity of the products
they represent.  

 

Over the years, the Bhawar Group has built a robust
distribution network, which is time-tested and handpicked. Sensing the pulse of
the consumers, the Group has catered to areas that needed the most attention -
dedicated after-sales support responding in 24 hours to establish transparency,
free pan-India shipping for accessibility, and informed customer advisors for
credibility. 

Brands in Association with The 1970 Store and The Bhawar Group
One of the reasons to buy from the 1970 Store is its diverse collection of
brands. With the plan to add more such acknowledged brands under their belt,
they have partnered with the following brands: 

1. Casio
Think of watches, think of Casio. Well-known for its
craftsmanship and attention to detail, Casio has become a household name across
everything from analog to smartwatches. 

2. Garmin

Garmin
is a leading brand in performance-driven smartwatches and wearables. 

3. Weber 

Weber
offers premium BBQ grills and outdoor cooking equipment. 


4. Zippo 
Ever heard of lighters that are both windproof and beautiful? Well, Zippo has mastered
this space with its design and innovative thinking. 

5. Echolac
High-quality luggage is durable, travel-friendly, and stylish. Echolac has perfected the
formula and is leading the market.

The 1970 Store is in the midst of adding more brands
to its portfolio. 

Conclusion 
The present digital landscape offers many loopholes for scams, counterfeits,
and unreliable sellers. To find a genuine product is to invest a considerable
amount of time and still involves taking certain risks. The entry of the Bhawar Group into the D2C space through the
1970 Store can offer reassurance to consumers who value authenticity and
ethical commerce. 

With the platform continually expanding to include globally iconic brands, it
would be safe to say that the 1970 Store is here to change the market.

<title>Gaurav Dwivedi Leads Emotional Celebration of ‘Rajni 2.0’ and the Legacy of Priya Tendulkar</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/gaurav-dwivedi-leads-emotional-celebration-of-rajni-20-and-the-legacy-of-priya-tendulkar</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/gaurav-dwivedi-leads-emotional-celebration-of-rajni-20-and-the-legacy-of-priya-tendulkar</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a moment steeped in nostalgia and renewed
purpose, IAS Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO of Prasar Bharati, addressed the press
conference of filmmaker Karan Razdan’s Rajni 2.0 on DD National and WAVES OTT,
reaffirming the cultural significance and enduring relevance of India’s most
iconic social crusader. The evening stood as a stirring tribute to the late
Priya Tendulkar, whose fearless portrayal of Rajni reshaped Indian television
and awakened a generation to injustice.

Produced by Karan Razdan under the Lord Shiva
Entertainment banner, Rajni 2.0 follows Rama Rajni Prabhakarr, who walks in the
footsteps of her mother and continues her legacy with unwavering resolve.

The new season boldly confronts urgent,
real-world issues — fraudulent builders and RERA challenges, VVIP racism,
malpractice in private hospitals, misuse of bypass surgeries, entitlements
under Ayushman Bharat and PMJAY, workplace harassment under the POSH Act, chit
fund scams, drug de-addiction, and the fast-growing menace of digital arrest
frauds targeting senior citizens.

Reflecting on the same, IAS Gaurav Dwivedi,
CEO, Prasar Bharati, said, “My takeaway from the promo today was three phrases
— women empowerment, consumer rights, and the safety of women in the workplace.
Rajani was conceptualised, executed, and broadcast before  the issues entered common language,  which shows how much the show was ahead of
its time. It is unfortunate we could not find the episodes to re-telecast such
great work, much as we would have loved to. But we searched and found Karan
Razdan to bring the show back as Rajni 2.0, and we are elated that Rajni is
back!”

Speaking at the event, Karan Razdan shared
that the show seeks not just to highlight societal problems but to empower
citizens with solutions. “Priya Tendulkar made Rajni a movement. Rajni 2.0
honours her legacy by giving today’s viewers the clarity, courage, and
information they need to stand up once again,” he said.

The evening also resonated with heartfelt
sentiments from distinguished guests. Anupam Kher spoke warmly of his deep
friendship with Karan Razdan, his profound respect for Priya Tendulkar, and the
need for socially relevant shows like Rajni 2.0 to find space on the DD
National platform and WAVES OTT. Harman Baweja expressed pride in standing
behind a show aired on DD National and WAVES, adding that his presence also
honoured the cherished bond his father, filmmaker Harry Baweja, shared with
both Karan Razdan and Anupam Kher.

Actress Aradhana Sharma spoke with disarming
candour, saying that working on the series was not only a powerful learning
experience but also an eye-opener that deepened her understanding of the social
realities portrayed — something she feels proud to voice both as an individual
and as an artiste.

The press conference concluded with an
emotional remembrance of Basu Chatterjee and Priya Tendulkar, followed by a
celebratory cake-cutting that marked the growing success of Rajni 2.0 — a
series that continues to honour a formidable legacy while inspiring India to
stand up, speak up, and demand a better tomorrow.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In a moment steeped in nostalgia and renewed purpose, IAS Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO of Prasar Bharati, addressed the press conference of filmmaker Karan Razdan’s Rajni 2.0 on DD National and WAVES OTT, reaffirming the cultural significance and enduring relevance of India’s most iconic social crusader. The evening stood as a stirring tribute to the late Priya Tendulkar, whose fearless portrayal of Rajni reshaped Indian television and awakened a generation to injustice.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Produced by Karan Razdan under the Lord Shiva Entertainment banner, Rajni 2.0 follows Rama Rajni Prabhakarr, who walks in the footsteps of her mother and continues her legacy with unwavering resolve.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The new season boldly confronts urgent, real-world issues — fraudulent builders and RERA challenges, VVIP racism, malpractice in private hospitals, misuse of bypass surgeries, entitlements under Ayushman Bharat and PMJAY, workplace harassment under the POSH Act, chit fund scams, drug de-addiction, and the fast-growing menace of digital arrest frauds targeting senior citizens.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Reflecting on the same, IAS Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO, Prasar Bharati, said, “My takeaway from the promo today was three phrases — women empowerment, consumer rights, and the safety of women in the workplace. Rajani was conceptualised, executed, and broadcast before<span>  </span>the issues entered common language,<span>  </span>which shows how much the show was ahead of its time. It is unfortunate we could not find the episodes to re-telecast such great work, much as we would have loved to. But we searched and found Karan Razdan to bring the show back as Rajni 2.0, and we are elated that Rajni is back!”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Speaking at the event, Karan Razdan shared that the show seeks not just to highlight societal problems but to empower citizens with solutions. “Priya Tendulkar made Rajni a movement. Rajni 2.0 honours her legacy by giving today’s viewers the clarity, courage, and information they need to stand up once again,” he said.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The evening also resonated with heartfelt sentiments from distinguished guests. Anupam Kher spoke warmly of his deep friendship with Karan Razdan, his profound respect for Priya Tendulkar, and the need for socially relevant shows like Rajni 2.0 to find space on the DD National platform and WAVES OTT. Harman Baweja expressed pride in standing behind a show aired on DD National and WAVES, adding that his presence also honoured the cherished bond his father, filmmaker Harry Baweja, shared with both Karan Razdan and Anupam Kher.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Actress Aradhana Sharma spoke with disarming candour, saying that working on the series was not only a powerful learning experience but also an eye-opener that deepened her understanding of the social realities portrayed — something she feels proud to voice both as an individual and as an artiste.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The press conference concluded with an emotional remembrance of Basu Chatterjee and Priya Tendulkar, followed by a celebratory cake-cutting that marked the growing success of Rajni 2.0 — a series that continues to honour a formidable legacy while inspiring India to stand up, speak up, and demand a better tomorrow.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Agreement brings leading active nutrition
brands—C4®, XTEND®, and Cellucor®—to India through a locally driven
manufacturing and distribution model


 Nutrabolt®,
     a global performance nutrition leader, enters India with a locally driven
     manufacturing and commercialization model through Nutraprep India Pvt. Ltd
 C4®
     Original, XTEND® Original, and Cellucor® COR-Performance Creatine to be
     made in India and distributed nationally by BRIGHT Performance Nutrition
     Pvt. Ltd
 Local
     manufacturing, global-grade testing, and authenticated supply-chain
     practices aim to deliver trusted, high-quality products at more accessible
     price points

India, December 11th, 2025: Nutrabolt®, a global leader in active health and wellness, today
announced a strategic agreement with Nutraprep India Pvt. Ltd. Under this
arrangement, Nutraprep will serve as the exclusive licensee for manufacturing
and distribution of select Nutrabolt products in India. 

Designed to bring internationally trusted formulations
to India, this agreement focuses on local manufacturing built to global
standards. As a part of this collaboration, Nutraprep will manufacture C4®
Original Pre-Workout, XTEND® Original, and Cellucor® COR-Performance Creatine
in India. Distribution will be led by Bright Performance Nutrition Pvt. Ltd.,
headed by Parag Bhatia, one of India’s premier distributors in the sports
nutrition and wellness sector, recognized for its robust pan-India retail and
omnichannel expertise.

“The sports nutrition market continues to evolve
rapidly across India, and the need to adapt is evident,” said Justin Becker, SVP International at Nutrabolt. “Ultimately,
feedback from Indian consumers drove us to forge a new route to market—one that
ensures we can meet scaling demand while maintaining our high standards for
quality and value. We’re thrilled to deepen our role in India alongside the
Nutraprep and Bright teams.”

“This partnership is a step forward for India’s
performance-nutrition market,” said Amit
Dhirwani, Founder and Director, Nutraprep. “Manufacturing locally
allows us to meet global quality benchmarks while building the consistency and
transparency consumers expect from this category. Our work with Nutrabolt helps
us bring proven and established formulations to India, and Bright ensures that
they are available where demand is growing. The category is expanding quickly,
and our focus is on strengthening its foundation, trust, quality, and access.”

 

Tapping Into India’s High-Growth Performance
Nutrition Ecosystem

India is now one of the most dynamic
performance-nutrition markets globally, driven by expanding fitness adoption,
growing discretionary spending, and increasing demand for science-backed supplements.
This collaboration enables Nutrabolt, Nutraprep, and Bright to deliver globally
aligned products at scale, tailored for India’s evolving fitness ecosystem.

NutraPrep’s manufacturing unit leverages advanced
processing technologies aligned with Nutrabolt’s Quality and Food Safety
standards. Its quality assurance system includes 300+ internal and third-party
tests, covering microbiology, heavy metals, allergens, pesticides, and other
contaminants, all in accordance with FSSAI regulations and Nutrabolt’s global
quality benchmarks. The brand has also integrated a dual-QR, product-level
authentication system through a leading verification technology partner, adding
an enhanced layer of consumer trust. All ingredients are sourced from suppliers
who comply with various internationally-recognized quality and food safety
standards to ensure consistency in formulation, taste, and performance in line
with Nutrabolt&#039;s international portfolio.

XTEND® Original was launched in India in October 2025,
with C4® Original and Cellucor® Creatine expected to follow in early 2026.
Distribution will begin with major metros and Tier-1 markets, followed by a
strategic expansion to build a pan-India footprint across offline retail,
e-commerce, quick-commerce, and specialty nutrition channels. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad, 11th December 2025 : Gravton Motors Pvt Ltd (“Gravton Motors”) has signed a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Telangana during the Telangana
Rising Global Summit 2025 at Bharat Future City. This collaboration marks a
significant step in advancing the State’s vision to build a strong and
future-ready clean-mobility ecosystem.

Through this MoU, Gravton Motors will establish

of driving innovation, generating new opportunities and strengthening its
position as one of India’s most progressive destinations for
emerging-technology industries. The collaboration is expected to encourage
research-focused manufacturing, nurture skilled talent and support the
evolution of next-generation mobility solutions.

Benefits of the partnership include the creation of a
technology-rich environment for EV development, opportunities for high-skilled
employment and a positive contribution toward sustainable transportation goals.
The project is also poised to support the local supplier ecosystem, encourage
ancillary manufacturing and stimulate innovation across electric and autonomous
vehicle technologies.

Mr. Parshuram Paka, Founder &amp; MD, Gravton Motors
said, “We are proud to join hands with the Government of Telangana at a summit
that reflects the State’s bold ambition for the future. This MoU is the start
of a shared journey to build a strong base for electric mobility and advanced
manufacturing in Telangana. The State’s proactive governance and focus on
innovation create the ideal foundation for companies like ours to build, scale
and contribute meaningfully. We look forward to developing future-ready
technology that not only benefits Telangana but strengthens India’s position in
the global EV landscape.”

The MoU serves as a guiding framework for cooperation
between the parties, with formal agreements to be signed in the coming months.
Both Gravton Motors and the Government of Telangana are aligned in their goal
of promoting industrial growth rooted in sustainability, technology and
long-term value creation. ]]></description>

<title>EAZY Announces CRM 4.0: A Unified, KPI&amp;Driven Platform for B2B Sales and Service</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/eazy-announces-crm-40-a-unified-kpi-driven-platform-for-b2b-sales-and-service</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/eazy-announces-crm-40-a-unified-kpi-driven-platform-for-b2b-sales-and-service</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ EAZY, one of the pioneers in India’s enterprise
software space, has announced the rollout of EAZY CRM 4.0, its
latest and most comprehensive upgrade to date. The new version is claimed to be
built on a modern, scalable technology stack and is aimed squarely at B2B
organisations that rely on structured sales processes, distributor networks,
and long customer lifecycles. With a refreshed interface, stronger automation,
and real-time visibility into performance, CRM 4.0 is designed to help sales
and service teams work as one, without the usual silos between systems.

CRM 4.0 brings
with it a dashboard-first experience where you experience core performance
indicators including lead conversion rates, opportunity pipeline velocity,
customer engagement, and service case resolution, all tracked LIVE. The new
version has been designed keeping critical KPIs at the centre, ensuring that
every screen, workflow and insight aligns with how B2B organisations measure
performance on the ground. These not only enable sales leadership, but also
bring together frontline teams to make data-driven decisions. From supporting
complicated B2B sales cycles, the platform’s advanced workflow engine facilitates
multi-stage approvals, quote generation, contract renewal &amp; escalation.
This helps in enforcing process rigor through reduced administrative overhead
costs. This new version leverages a cloud-native architecture, focusing not
just on performance, security, and extensibility but also on maintaining a
clean and responsive UI that works equally well on web and mobile.

A key differentiator of CRM 4.0 is
its seamless integration within the EAZY enterprise ecosystem: the CRM is
tightly connected with EAZY ERP for real-time view of operations, EAZY’s DMS
for distributor visibility, and with EAZY’s SFA (Recibo) for field-sales data
and order execution. This integrated EAZY ecosystem ensures
that sales, distribution, and service teams are all working on a unified data
source. This favors more transparency, accountability, and a cohesive customer
experience across the entire business network.

Looking forward, Kunal Singhal, Founder &amp; Managing
Director, mentioned that they plan to extend CRM 4.0’s capabilities in
the coming quarter with a marketplace of pre-built integrations. This
will also bring AI-powered forecasting into play for better pipeline management
and churn risk. These upcoming releases are focused on making EAZY CRM a comprehensive
business platform for B2B sales enterprises.

EAZY anticipates
that CRM 4.0 will significantly improve operational efficiency
of the organizations, reduce dependency on manual tasks, and provide greater
visibility and more transparency into the entire sales and service lifecycle.
By aligning both via a single unified system, businesses can drastically reduce
silos through improved accountability and eventually delivering better outcomes
at the customer’s end.

“CRM 4.0 is not just about updating software, it’s
about transforming how B2B organisations connect sales, distribution and
service in real time,” said Kunal Singhal, Managing Director, EAZY.
“We have architected this version with a performance-first mindset, focusing on
KPIs that matter, while building the foundation for a truly unified enterprise
ecosystem.”

“This release is just the beginning,” added Singhal.
“As we roll out further integrations in our CRM and focus on advanced service
workflows, companies using EAZY will be able to operate with unprecedented
agility and connectivity.”

CRM 4.0 is available immediately to both new and
existing EAZY customers. They also provide dedicated migration support,
onboarding guidance, and training resources to foster IT teams to adopt the new
version seamlessly.

and field sales automation platforms tailored for mid-sized and large

<title>Rustomjee Scales Up Climate&amp;Aligned Development with Net Zero Clubhouses at Belle Vue, Kasara Hills</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, 11th December 2025 : Rustomjee Group has announced a significant milestone in its
sustainability journey with the launch of two Net Zero Carbon
Clubhouses at Rustomjee Belle Vue, marking its first plotted development
project in Kasara, near Igatpuri. The project also has been
recognized by IGBC for its commitment to sustainability with a Carbon Net Zero
Certification (Design) for its clubhouses and allied services. This
recognition reflects the company’s focus on low embodied carbon materials,
renewable energy, and eco-friendly design set amidst the serene Sahyadri Hills.

Set against the natural terrain of Kasara, Belle Vue
is a thoughtfully planned gated community that redefines residential living by
placing environmental stewardship at the core of its design and operations.
From solar-powered infrastructure to responsible water and waste systems, Belle
Vue reflects the Group’s long-term commitment to climate-conscious
development. Through these initiatives, the Group continues to shape a
greener future by advancing innovative and responsible real estate development.

 

Speaking on this initiative, Mr. Boman Rustom Irani,
Chairman and Managing Director, Rustomjee Group,
said, &quot;As a company that has always believed in building for the
future, Belle Vue represents a deliberate and focused shift toward responsible
development. Our goal was never just to construct homes, but to build
environments that align with the needs of tomorrow. The net zero carbon
clubhouses at Belle Vue are an outcome of that philosophy, a model of how
sustainability can be embedded at every level, starting with the everyday
spaces people gather in.&quot;

The Clubhouses are designed to be fully powered by
solar energy, with passive ventilation strategies, energy-efficient HVAC
systems, and green roofs that blend into the natural slope of the landscape.
The design and construction have been guided by a Green Procurement Policy,
favouring eco-labelled and Green-Pro certified materials to minimise embodied
carbon.

Mrs. Namrata Nulwalla, Chief Sustainability Officer
at Rustomjee Group, added, &quot;At Belle
Vue, sustainability isn’t a checklist, it is a design principle. Every element,
from material sourcing to water reuse and energy generation, has been
approached with purpose. The Clubhouses demonstrate that it’s possible to
combine ecological intelligence with human comfort without compromise. Our
effort is to continue making meaningful shifts in how we approach the built
environment.&quot;

Belle Vue’s broader sustainability blueprint goes
beyond energy efficiency to address critical aspects of water, waste, and
infrastructure management. The development is designed to reduce freshwater
dependency through the use of low-flow fixtures, rainwater collection ponds to
collect and store freshwater, and onsite treatment systems including bio-STPs.
Treated wastewater is reused for landscape irrigation, ensuring water is conserved
and recycled at source. On the waste front, a Zero Waste to Landfill strategy
is in place, with organic waste compactors, garden waste mulching, and dry
waste segregation embedded into daily operations. Complementing these efforts,
all essential community infrastructure including water pumps, street lighting,
and security systems will run entirely on solar energy, significantly reducing
the project’s operational carbon footprint.

In future phases, Belle Vue will extend its green
bungalow certification to sample villas and other shared amenities, reinforcing
the vision of a sustainable project. Located within easy reach of both Mumbai
and Pune, Belle Vue offers residents the rare advantage of climate-resilient
living amidst natural beauty, making it not just a destination to build a home,
but to build a conscious legacy.

<description><![CDATA[ From 3 km community runs to 100 km ultras, Pinkathon
2025–26 will begin its Hyderabad chapter on February 15 at People&#039;s Plaza,
Hyderabad

Hyderabad…December 11, 2025 : Pinkathon, India’s biggest women’s run, today announced the 6th
edition of Pinkathon Hyderabad, joining hands with global innovation-led
healthcare company Zydus Lifesciences Ltd. to strengthen breast cancer
awareness in India. The press conference was graciously hosted by Park Hyatt,
the Hospitality Partner for the event, adding prestige and warmth to the
occasion. The run, scheduled for February 15, 2026, at People’s Plaza in
Hyderabad, marks another milestone in Pinkathon’s mission of inspiring women to
embrace fitness, community, and preventive health.

 

Launched in 2012 in Mumbai by actor, entrepreneur and
fitness advocate Milind Soman, Pinkathon has grown into a
nationwide movement empowering women through sport. Over the years, it has
reached more than half a million women, facilitated free breast screenings for
thousands, raised over ₹1 crore for underprivileged cancer patients, and built
a strong community of ambassadors across India. With Zydus’ preventive-first
approach powering its mission, the Pinkathon 2025–26 season continues across
Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai, and Delhi. 

 

This year in Hyderabad, the run proudly celebrates a
diverse and inspiring group of mascots who embody strength, resilience, and the
spirit of community running. Leading the lineup is Poonam Metta, representing
the 100K category, followed by Devyani Haldar for the 75K and Leena Roy for the
50K distance. The event also honours Mardaku Anitha, a visually impaired runner
symbolizing the 10K category, and Sarita Sarkar, a cancer survivor representing
the Lifelong 5K run. Preety Khanna, a dedicated babywearing mother, stands as
the mascot for the 3K category. Together, these remarkable women reflect the
run’s ethos of inclusivity and courage. With categories ranging from 3
km, Lifelong 5 km, 10 km, all the way up to ultradistances, the event
encourages participation from both first-time runners and seasoned athletes,
making it a true celebration of endurance, empowerment, and community spirit.

 

Addressing the media at the Hyderabad press
conference, Milind Soman, Founder of Pinkathon, said, “Pinkathon
is a celebration of women choosing themselves — their health, their fitness,
and their wellbeing. Hyderabad has always shown tremendous spirit and support,
and this edition gives us another opportunity to amplify conversations around
breast cancer. With the partnership of Zydus, we continue our commitment to
ensuring that every woman understands the critical importance of early
detection and self-care.”

 

This year’s Hyderabad announcement also spotlighted
the growing presence of Invincible Women, an initiative founded
by Ankita Konwar to support endurance running for women. Speaking
at the event, Ankita Konwar said, “Pinkathon has always been a safe and
empowering space for women from every walk of life. Invincible Women is about
pushing boundaries and proving to ourselves that we are capable of more than we
think. With Zydus joining hands in this mission, we hope to inspire women
across Hyderabad to prioritise their health, learn the importance of
self-examination, and show up for themselves.”

 

Built on pillars of women’s health, empowerment, and
inspiration, Pinkathon’s 2025–26 edition aligns strongly with Zydus’ belief in
preventive healthcare. Through its Easiest Exam campaign, Zydus encourages
women to adopt a simple three-minute monthly breast self-exam — a critical step
in improving early detection in a country where lakhs of women are diagnosed
with breast cancer each year.

 

At the Hyderabad announcement, Dr. Mohana
Vamsy, Surgical Oncologist, said, “Breast cancer still ranks as one
of the major cancers that are common in women, and it is indeed unfortunate
that a large number of cases are still identified at the late stages. The
result of a check that takes not more than three minutes and is done once every
month is what would change the face of the outcomes in a great measure. It is
therefore very important to have such events as Pinkathon, which provides
education to women, makes them comfortable with the issue and thus, making it
possible for them to go to the clinic early if they want a test, in the end,
giving chances to live.”

 

Speaking on this, Dr. Sharvil Patel, Managing
Director, Zydus Lifesciences Ltd said, “With
the Easiest Exam campaign, we seek to empower women with the knowledge that a
simple 3-minute self-examination each month can make a life-saving difference.
Joining hands with Pinkathon, we aim to reach many more women, raise awareness,
and inspire collective action in the fight against breast cancer. We believe
that raising awareness on women’s health and Breast cancer remains equally
vital, as early detect ]]></description>

<title>The 5 Must&amp;Haves for Modern Creators, Featuring Smart Solutions from StudioBackdrops</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India], December 10 : Every creator knows the moment: you finish filming, review your footage, and realise your idea was strong, but your setup wasn’t. The lighting’s off, your audio is fuzzy, the background looks chaotic — and suddenly your content doesn’t match the vision in your head.  And in a landscape where creator-influenced spending is expected to surpass $1 trillion globally by 2030, production quality has become a competitive advantage.So, the real question isn’t “Should I start?” — it’s “What do I start with?” The new creator’s essentials aren’t a checklist to buy, but the right toolkit to make your ideas land. It will just not improve your content — they give you control, save time, and prevent frustration before it even starts. With so many options out there, it is important to understand which tool is the correct one for you. And which one will help your content stand out?Stability That Speaks Volumes: Tripods that supportA shaky video can ruin even the most engaging content. Tripods, supports, and rigs are basic but essential tools for creators. Whether you’re filming with a smartphone or a DSLR, having a reliable tripod ensures smooth, professional-looking footage. With StudioBackdrops’ range of tripods and rigs, creators can shoot anywhere, your living room, a park, or a bustling street, without compromising quality.&quot;For us, it’s always been about giving creators the tools that instantly elevate their content,&quot; says Archisman Misra, Founder of StudioBackdrops. &quot;Even a simple tripod can make a huge difference in the end result.&quot; New content creators can just start with the AriesX Flex Mobile Tripod Stand or the AriesX Ace Professional Camera Tripod Stand, perfect for Phones and Cameras.Clear Audio: Wireless MicrophonesNo one likes videos where the background noise overpowers the speaker. A wireless microphone is a must-have for creators talking to their audience or doing tutorials. Unlike phone mics, wireless options pick up clean audio, eliminating distractions and enhancing viewer engagement. StudioBackdrops’ wireless microphones strike the perfect balance between quality and affordability with its Synco Wmic – TS Mini 1-to-1 UHF Wireless Microphone, Synco Wmic – T1 16-Channel UHF Wireless Lavalier Mic System with Tx and Rx and more.Setting the Stage: BackdropsThe backdrop you choose can define the look and feel of your content. One aesthetic corner in your house can only keep your audience hooked for so long. If you keep changing your backdrop and shooting location, your audience will be intrigued. Fabric backdrops are cost-effective, paper backdrops give a polished finish, and innovative options like the Twistflex backdrop combine the best of both worlds—professional aesthetics at a creator-friendly price. A clean, well-chosen backdrop immediately focuses attention on your content and adds a professional touch that viewers subconsciously appreciate.Twistflex backdrops from StudioBackdrops come in a range of versatile colors and fabric options. Designed for creators on the move, they’re lightweight, easy to set up, and fold neatly into themselves. Their highlight absorption fabric eliminates unwanted reflections, giving your photos and videos a clean, professional finish—wherever you shoot.Mastering the Light: Quix Light Modifiers &amp; Portable Studio LightsLighting can transform mundane content into visually striking creations. Quick-setup softboxes like Quix Light Modifiers let you shape and control light effectively, giving a soft, natural glow to the photos and videos. For creators needing portability and versatility, the Xtreme Portable Light series is perfect—small, powerful, and ideal for both photography and video setups. Good lighting isn’t a luxury; it is a necessity in this time, where it is difficult to stand out.  The correct product will last you for a long time and give you the best return on investment.Choosing the Right Tools: Beyond the ChecklistArchisman Misra adds, “It&#039;s not about the price point; it&#039;s about choosing the correct tool that serves your purpose. Many new creators buy the cheapest product available without understanding how it will affect their content. Start with research, pick one problem to solve at a time, and find the best product that solves that problem while being a good value for money. The right tools deliver real ROI by improving content quality, engagement, and monetisation potential. They also last much, much longer than the cheap gimmicky products, thus saving you money in the long run. We want every creator to feel empowered to tell their story with clarity and confidence.&quot;By choosing the right gear early on, new creators can avoid unnecessary spending later down the line. The right gear will maintain consistent quality and stay focused on what truly matters—making content that resonates. And with recent insights from a BCG report showing India’s creator economy rapidly expanding beyond metros into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the timin ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mother India Forming unveiled its Humanoid and
Quadruped Robots at EXCON Bengaluru, advancing precision cold-roll forming. The
humanoid ensures high-accuracy production, while quadrupeds provide continuous
factory surveillance. These AI-driven systems enhance efficiency, and support
the “Made in India” vision, reinforcing the company’s leadership in smart,
sustainable manufacturing

Bangalore, December 10 :
Mother India Forming, a leading Indian manufacturer in the business of
precision cold-roll formed components, showcased its pioneering Humanoid and
Quadruped Robots at EXCON Bengaluru to further enhance operational efficiencies.
This marks one of the most advanced robotic deployments in India’s precision
sheet-metal cold-roll forming industry.

 

Speaking at the occasion, Dhirendra Sankhla, Director
– Mother India Forming explained that – “Mother India Forming is stepping into
a new era of smart manufacturing with the introduction of a state-of-the-art
humanoid robot on the shop floor, alongside quadruped robotic systems for
autonomous surveillance. This marks an important milestone in our journey
toward a highly automated, AI-driven ecosystem. The newly deployed humanoid
robot has been engineered to execute operations that require extreme
consistency and micron-level precision. Beginning with automated
pick-and-place, process safety checks, factory vigilance &amp; enabling continuous
monitoring of restricted zones and standardized material handling, the humanoid
enhances every stage where repeatability defines product performance.”

 

“As global OEMs tighten quality checks, safety, and
delivery benchmarks, India is rapidly strengthening its engineering
capabilities. Our latest robotic integration signifies a decisive step toward
creating smart, autonomous, and globally competitive manufacturing ecosystems —
fully aligned with the national vision of Made in India,” Dhirendra Sankhla
added.

 

The induction of the humanoid robot is expected to
significantly cut inspection cycles, reduce manual dependencies, bring
autonomous dimensional &amp; profile verification, online defect identification
through image intelligence, real-time accuracy logging, analytics, and
data-driven corrections, ultimately leading to zero-defect manufacturing – the
company said.

 

“Our goal is to integrate robotics not just as an
automation tool, but as a partner in precision, helping us deliver the
best-in-class components to the industry. The future belongs to robotics,
automation, and data intelligence and this will shape the manufacturing sector
of tomorrow. Mother India Forming is proud to contribute to India’s journey
toward global leadership in precision cold-roll forming,” says Dhirendra
Sankhla.

 

Mother India Forming has developed a fully integrated,
360-degree manufacturing ecosystem where sheet metal cold-roll forming,
fabrication, finishing, and powder coating all operate under one roof. This
consolidation drastically reduces multi-vendor logistics and associated Scope-3
emissions for primary equipment manufacturers. The company is also expanding
its renewable energy capacity from 150 kilowatt to 1.25 megawatt of solar
power, complementing its already low-carbon operational model.

 

Global industry outlooks project a 7–9% compound
annual growth rate in demand for precision-formed components through 2030.
Growth is being driven by sectors such as automotive and electric vehicles,
renewable energy, infrastructure, engineered structures, warehousing systems,
construction, and electrical equipment—industries increasingly requiring
lightweight, high-strength, dimensionally stable components with low
environmental impact. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Landmark
report “Signal vs Noise: Decoding the SME Market” unveiled at
the inaugural Bharat Trilogy Summit 2025.

Mumbai, 10 December 2025 : Indorient Financial Services Limited on Saturday launched its
innovative research study, “Signal vs Noise: Decoding the SME Market”, which
documents a decisive post-COVID structural shift in India’s SME capital markets 

The report identifies several game-changing trends
reshaping India&#039;s SME investment landscape:


 Fundraising
     Shift: Sharp surge in ₹25-35 crore+ deals
     post-2020, marking a departure from smaller ticket sizes that dominated
     the pre-COVID era
 Performance
     Divergence: Widening gap between sustained
     outperformers and one-time gainers, with post-listing performance
     increasingly tied to governance quality and operational fundamentals
 Sector
     Leadership: Energy and Financials sectors
     record strongest revenue expansion, while Industrials (Capital Goods,
     Commercial &amp; Professional Services, Transportation) lead in issuance
     volumes
 Quality
     Over Hype: Track record, profitability, and
     operational depth emerging as key differentiators in a market previously
     dominated by high-growth, loss-making narratives

The report was based on an exhaustive analysis of all
1,345 SME listings from platform inception until 14 November 2025. As retail
participation in SME IPOs grows and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, the report
provides timely guidance for investors, policymakers, and entrepreneurs
navigating this evolving landscape. The emphasis on governance and sustainable
value creation aligns with SEBI&#039;s ongoing efforts to enhance market quality and
investor protection.

The study was unveiled at the inaugural Bharat Trilogy
Summit 2025, a culturally rich, invitation-only forum curated by Etherwire.Ai,
supported by RubyWorks and powered by Indorient under the theme “Viksit
Bharat with Values.” 

The summit integrates India&#039;s classical value systems
with modern financial discourse to promote responsible growth, governance-led
enterprise building and long-term investor confidence. Ideated as an
invitation-only forum, the Summit spotlights credible, well-governed SMEs while
enabling distraction-free dialogue between serious investors and proven
entrepreneurs.

Rooted in the theme &quot;Viksit Bharat with
Values”, the Summit challenges the prevailing market narrative by
redirecting attention toward SMEs with proven profitability and operational
depth—companies often overshadowed by loss-making, high-growth stories.

The summit began on a high-energy note with celebrated
voice-over legend Mr. Abhinav Sharma — the iconic voice behind 200+ Indian
brands — delivering the opening montage of famous brand jingles, setting an
electrifying tone before masterfully emceeing the entire day.

In a deliberate departure from conventional events,
there were no formal pitches. Instead, nine carefully curated, governance-first
companies presented directly to the room of 50+ investors which included QIB
and Family offices:

The summit was graced by Chief Guest Mr. Subhash V.
Thakrar, Mentor to Indorient, who delivered the welcome note. Distinguished
speakers included bestselling author Akshat Gupta; Mr. V. Srinivasan,
Chairperson, eMudhra; Mr. K. Sudarshan, Managing Director, EMA Partners; and
Mr. Neil Bahal, Founder &amp; CEO, Negen Capital. 

 

Supporting the initiative were thought leaders,
investors 

 

- Mr. Zulfiquar Ghadiyali, executive director-
Royal office of His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Saeed Al Nahyan and Managing
Director of One world Business Venture

- Mr. Prashant Khanchandani, Vyom Partners LLP
(Polycab Family Office)  

- Mr. Nilesh Vikamsey, Past President, Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India &amp; Independent Director in several listed
companies  

- Ms. Riddhi Vyas Shah, Founder, LumenCap
Ventures  

Mr. Neil Bahal, Founder &amp; CEO, Negen Capital,
said:  

“The SME market is finally maturing. Credibility and
execution discipline are the new currency. A data-rich study paired with a
culturally anchored platform like the Bharat Trilogy Summit helps serious
investors discover tomorrow’s compounders today.”

Ivor Misquith, Joint MD &amp; CEO, Indorient
Financial Services Limited remarked on the
Summit “The BTS event and our sector research reinforces our commitment and
confidence in the SME sector - SME&#039;s will be the prime catalyst in the goal of
Vikshit Bharat 2047”

Mr. Soumya Padhi, Managing Director, Indorient
Financial Services Limited stated

“The Bharat Trilogy Summit is an ecosystem built on a
dharma-guided way of working. For Viksit Bharat 2047 to become reality, every
stakeholder must chip in — and every investor matters. Today we saw exactly
that spirit in action.”

Ms. Jyoti Rai, Founder – Etherwire Ai,
said:  

“This research is the Kalash — the sacred container of
all the intense Manthan that ]]></description>

<title>FinBox launches Journey Studio to enable lenders to launch digital credit products in 3 days</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

 


 An
     early adopter went live with an education loan in under three weeks,
     surpassing ₹300 crores in three months.
 The
     GenAI platform helps launch complex digital journeys in just days using
     no-code AI.

Bangalore, December 10 : FinBox, a leading digital credit infrastructure and risk
intelligence provider, today announced the launch of Journey Studio - a
platform that allows banks, NBFCs, and Lending Service Providers (LSPs) to
launch new digital journeys for products like personal loans, business loans,
loan against property, credit cards etc in three days, instead of the usual 3–6
months required by traditional engineering-led development cycles.

 

Across the lending ecosystem, teams struggle with slow
and resource-heavy development processes. Even simple updates such as adding a
new verification step or adjusting eligibility logic can take weeks because of
backend integration requirements, multi-team coordination, and rigorous
testing. Launching a completely new loan product often becomes a lengthy,
multi-sprint effort, limiting experimentation and delaying
time-to-market. 

 

“Launching or changing lending journeys has become
one of the slowest parts of digital credit,” said Rajat Deshpande,
Co-Founder &amp; CEO, FinBox. “Journey Studio removes the dependency on
long engineering cycles.Our lender partners have already launched education
loans, credit card journeys, personal loans, and even complex secured loans for
business and housing using FinBox Journey Studio in weeks instead of months.” 

 

At the core of Journey Studio is a no-code,
GenAI-driven system that enables teams to design and deploy lending journeys
using natural language and visual configuration. Instead of relying on backend
builds, API stitching, or engineering sprints, business and product teams can
build, test, and iterate journeys independently - accelerating launch timelines
significantly.

 

“Journey Studio is already proving what rapid
go-to-market can look like in digital lending,”
said Srijan Nagar, Co-Founder, FinBox. “We’ve helped a lender
launch an entire education loan product in under three weeks and surpass ₹300
crores in disbursals within just three months, a leap that traditional
development cycles could never support. Another large super-app deployed a
multi-lender journey in days and now manages lender updates and nuances through
Journey Studio with ease,” he adds. 

 

Journey Studio also includes real-time behavioural
analytics and native A/B testing, allowing lenders to see exactly where users
drop off and refine journeys instantly. With its omnichannel capability, you
can deploy a single journey configuration across mobile apps, web interfaces,
assisted field apps and partner environments with no need to build duplicates.

 

The industry is moving faster, and so must the
infrastructure behind it. Journey Studio equips lenders and LSPs to keep pace -
building, iterating, and scaling digital user journeys with the speed and
precision modern lending demands.

 

About FinBox: FinBox is
a leading credit infrastructure FinTech working with over 130 banks, NBFCs,
FinTech lenders and large consumer platforms, including HDFC Bank, Kotak
Mahindra Bank, Poonawalla Fincorp, Aditya Birla Capital, Muthoot Fincorp and
Tata Capital. Its solutions power seamless omnichannel onboarding, instant
underwriting and embedded credit distribution across a wide range of lending
ecosystems. The company recently raised $40 million in Series B funding, led by
WestBridge Capital with participation from A91 Partners and Aditya Birla
Ventures. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India] : PM Publishers Pvt. Ltd. (PMP), a leading name in school education since 2009, has announced a collaboration with Google, to integrate Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, with the traditional textbook learning experience, transforming the act of learning into an interactive journey.Launched for the upcoming 2026-27 academic year, PMP will integrate Google Gemini across 250+ book titles covering Computer Science, English, Hindi, Art &amp; Craft, General Knowledge, and Foundation subjects — from Nursery to Class 10. This initiative is expected to reach over 2 million students across 2,000+ schools in its first phase. Designed for age-appropriate use, the tool empowers older students to learn independently, while serving as a digital companion for parents of younger children, helping them simplify concepts and foster curiosity at home.Each PMP book will feature specific QR codes linked to a custom Gemini Gem. These are custom versions of Gemini that have been fine-tuned on the specific content of that textbook which will offer chapter summaries, interactive activities, and additional learning resources. This ensures that when a student asks a question, the AI tool provides an answer that is context-aware and grounded in the curriculum.Rajesh Bajaj, Managing Director, PM Publishers Pvt. Ltd., said:“Our goal is to make learning more engaging, interactive, and future-ready. With Google Gemini, we are giving students and teachers a powerful tool that amplifies curiosity, supports creativity, and promotes the responsible use of AI in education.”Sanjay Jain, Head of Google for Education, India said:“At Google, we believe AI should be a learning companion that sparks curiosity, rather than just a tool for retrieving answers. By integrating Gemini directly into PM Publishers’ curriculum, we hope to give students and parents a personal AI tutor that is grounded in the textbooks they trust and enhance the classroom experience.” ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Reimagining luxury living for
India’s design leaders and enhance overall customer experience

Mumbai, December 10, 2025 : Liebherr Appliances India Pvt. Ltd, part of the €14.6 billion
Liebherr Group – the global leader in premium home refrigeration renowned for
its innovation and precision engineering, in partnership with News18 Network,
hosted Innovate &amp; Evolve – Privé, an exclusive experiential evening that
brought together India’s leading architects, interior designers, real estate
visionaries, hospitality leaders, and luxury tastemakers. The event provided a
premium platform for networking, thought leadership, and dialogue, exploring
how design, innovation, and craftsmanship are redefining modern living and
aspirational luxury homes in India.

Kapil Agarwal, Managing Director –
Sales India, Liebherr Appliances India, set the tone for the evening by
reflecting on India’s dynamic growth and Liebherr’s journey in shaping the
future of refrigeration. He highlighted the company’s global legacy, founded by
Dr. Hans Liebherr, and its precision-led German engineering with manufacturing
across Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Malaysia, and India. Speaking about the
brand’s vision for India, he remarked, “India is changing at an unprecedented
pace, and so are consumer expectations. At Liebherr, our purpose is simple—use
real innovation to make everyday life easier. Whether it is mist-based
freshness systems, intuitive hands-free operations, or intelligent solutions
like Hot-to-Cool, our focus is to bring global advancements to Indian homes
while deeply understanding how India lives, cooks, and grows.” He further
emphasised the country’s rising discretionary spending, the shift toward
premium living, and the importance of seamlessly integrating technology into
modern design and architecture.

The evening featured a Liebherr
Foundational Fireside chat with Steffen Nagel, Managing Director Sales and
Marketing Appliance Division–Liebherr Appliances, and Roman Schaefer, Head
of Business Area India Appliances Division-Liebherr Appliances, in
conversation with CNBC-TV18’s Manisha Gupta, discussing engineering precision,
sustainability, and consumer-first innovation. Their exchange explored how
global innovation is contextualised for India, the future of refrigeration for
home chefs and health-conscious consumers, design-forward appliances for luxury
residences, and the growing role of automation and digitalisation in
kitchens. 

Steffen Nagel highlighted
Liebherr’s responsibility toward sustainable engineering, stating, “The
refrigerator is the only appliance that runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
which makes our responsibility toward energy efficiency even more meaningful.
At Liebherr, we engineer every product with long-term sustainability in mind,
combining precision, durability, and innovation to reduce consumption while
elevating everyday living.” 

Roman Schaefer emphasised India’s
strategic importance to Liebherr, noting, “India is one of the fastest-growing
markets in the world and a core part of our global growth story. Indian
consumers have pushed us to rethink, adapt, and engineer appliances
specifically for their needs, supported by a strong local partner network. This
market keeps us agile, customer-centric, and ultimately strengthens Liebherr’s
global strategy.”

Another session of fireside
conversations continued with Abhinandan Lodha, Chairman, House of
Abhinandan Lodha (HoAL), centred around the theme “From Square Feet
to Smart Living – Why tomorrow’s luxury is engineered, not embellished.” He
spoke about the evolution of Indian homeownership, the shift from traditional
notions of luxury to technology-enabled living, and how next-generation homes
will be defined by intelligent design, sustainability, and seamless integration
of smart infrastructure. His insights reflected the aspirations of a rapidly
modernising India and the growing demand for thoughtful, future-ready living
spaces.

An engaging panel moderated by
CNBC-TV18’s Manisha Gupta included Rajiv Mishra (Architect &amp; Urban Planner;
Principal, Sir J.J. College of Architecture), Sumisha Gilotra (Editor,
Architect &amp; Interiors India), Brinda Miller (Chairperson, Kala Ghoda
Festival), Nisha JamVwal (Celebrity Columnist, Equal Rights Activist &amp;
Luxury Brand Consultant), and Neelam Sonavane (Chief Design Officer, Bonito
Design). The panellists discussed the evolving meaning of luxury, the
integration of AI and technology for comfort and personalisation, and the
balance of tradition and modernity in shaping India’s urban design language.
They also underscored how brands like Liebherr, with their innovation-driven
and design-led appliances, are integral to future-ready homes.

The evening also featured A

<description><![CDATA[  A Complimentary 3-Month Head Start
for Pre-Nursery and Nursery

Bangalore, 10-12-2025 :  Hi-Kalpaa, an award-winning preschool chain, has announced the launch of its
Preschool Readiness &amp; Settling Program, a three-month initiative designed
to support new families enrolling for the 2026–27 academic year. The program
reflects Hi-Kalpaa’s focus on creating a positive, confident start for every
child entering formal learning.

The Preschool Readiness &amp; Settling Program,
running from January to March 2026, gives Pre-Nursery and Nursery
children the chance to ease into school routines well before the academic year
begins. Through short, thoughtfully planned sessions, children gradually get
comfortable with their teachers, peers, and surroundings, making the transition
smoother and less overwhelming.

“We created the Readiness &amp; Settling Program to
help children enter school life without pressure,” said Shalini Sharma, CEO
and Founder of Hi-Kalpaa. “These early weeks set the tone for a child’s
emotional comfort and readiness to learn. Offering this program at no
additional charge is our way of supporting families and ensuring that every
child starts their journey feeling secure, confident, and excited.”

The program will officially begin from 12th
January 2026, with daily 2-hour sessions. To confirm admission
and secure a place in the readiness program, parents are required to complete
the first installment, which will be adjusted toward the 2026–27
annual fees, along with a one-time Readiness Kit Fee.

This early settling period helps children:

·      
Adjust to the school
environment

·      
Build routine, independence,
and confidence

·      
Develop early learning,
communication, and social skills

·      
Transition into the main
curriculum with ease

The launch of this program strengthens Hi-Kalpaa’s
mission to offer thoughtful, child-centered support to families and ensure that
every young learner receives the best possible start.

 

About Hi-Kalpaa: 

Hi-Kalpaa is a School of Experiential Learning,
dedicated to providing an environment where children can explore, learn, and
grow with confidence. Backed by a team of exceptionally experienced educators,
Hi-Kalpaa is committed to nurturing the individual potential of each child
through innovative and hands-on learning experiences.

<title>Star&amp;Studded Affair: Aanandam Valleey&amp;apos;s Foundation Ceremony Draws Spiritual Leaders, Top Ministers &amp;amp; Bollywood icons to Barsana for its Bhumi Pujan ceremony</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Barsana, Mathura : The
sacred town of Barsana became the center of attention as Kadamshree Developers
India LLP orchestrated a spectacular foundation stone ceremony for Aanandam
Valleey, the region&#039;s pioneering RERA-registered spiritual township.
Spiritual leader Shri Gyananand Ji Maharaj conducted sacred
rituals, and leading real estate advisors from Faridabad attended to witness
this transformative moment.

 

 The occasion was graced by the presence of
dignitaries including Cabinet Minister MP Shri Krishan Pal Gurjar Ji, alongside
Bollywood personalities Chunky Pandey, Kainaat Arora, Bhagyashree, and Aman
Verma. The response has exceeded all expectations, with the township achieving
one of the fastest booking rates ever seen in Braj&#039;s real estate sector—a
testament to the growing appetite for spiritually anchored residential
communities.

 

India&#039;s home buying landscape is experiencing a
paradigm shift. Families now prioritize sanctity, wellness infrastructure, and
cultural resonance over conventional urban amenities. Against this backdrop,
Barsana has positioned itself as the Braj heartland&#039;s most dynamic property
destination, fueled by the state&#039;s ambitious ₹30,000 crore infrastructure
blueprint and surging interest in pilgrimage-linked living spaces.

 

The Architect Behind the Revolution: Parmod Kumar
Gupta

 

Spearheading this venture is Parmod Kumar
Gupta, whose name resonates across Faridabad as a trailblazer who redefined
urban development standards. His journey reads like a masterclass in real
estate innovation—pioneering residential floor systems through Spring Field and
Green Fields in the mid-90s, unveiling Crown Plaza as Faridabad&#039;s first mall in
1999, and delivering iconic projects like RPS Green Valley and Paras Apartments
that remain coveted addresses today. His portfolio expanded with World Street
also Known as the Whitehouse of faridabad, the city&#039;s mammoth commercial
corridor in 2010, followed by Aagman&#039;s 1,500 affordable homes in 2015, and the
sprawling 102-acre Townfit 70 in 2021. Now in 2025, he unveils Aanandam
Valleey, where faith meets contemporary comfort—merging traditional values with
progressive planning to create living environments that resonate with both
emotion and practicality.

 

Decoding the Unprecedented Demand

 

Real estate veterans attribute the exceptional market
reception to three converging factors:

 

1. Spiritual Living Goes Mainstream

Metropolitan buyers from Delhi-NCR and beyond are
actively pursuing properties near pilgrimage destinations. Barsana&#039;s identity
as Radha Rani&#039;s celestial abode places it at the epicenter of this movement.

 

2. Infrastructure Renaissance Underway

Enhanced connectivity to Mathura, Vrindavan,
Govardhan, and Nandgaon, coupled with the planned Ropeway Project, is
catapulting Barsana into investment limelight. Government-backed heritage
initiatives and road network upgrades promise sustained appreciation.

 

3. Aanandam Valleey&#039;s Compelling Proposition

Situated merely 5 minutes from the revered
Shri Radha Rani Temple, the development presents an exceptional fusion of
devotional proximity and lifestyle sophistication. 

 

Offerings include Vastu-aligned plots spanning
120 to 180 sq yards, complemented by:


 On-site
     temple for daily worship
 Broad
     thoroughfares (9m, 12m &amp; 18m specifications)
 Fortified
     entry and perimeter security
 Botanical
     gardens with water features
 Barrier-free
     senior pathways and tree-lined promenades
 Premium
     clubhouse with gathering spaces
 Dedicated
     children&#039;s activity zones
 Yoga
     pavilions, meditation gardens &amp; reflexology tracks
 Aquatic
     facilities including lap and children&#039;s pools
 Multi-sport
     infrastructure: cricket, tennis, basketball, skating rinks
 Uninterrupted
     water availability through storage systems


 

This comprehensive approach to holistic wellness has
positioned the project as Barsana&#039;s most coveted residential launch.

 

Reshaping Barsana&#039;s Tomorrow

 

The foundation ceremony marks more than construction
commencement—it inaugurates a lifestyle philosophy where ancestral traditions,
communal bonds, natural serenity, and spiritual equilibrium converge into daily
experience.

 

Market analysts predict Aanandam Valleey&#039;s success will
catalyze Barsana&#039;s evolution into a premier destination for spacious living,
devotional tourism residences, retreat properties, and strategic wealth
building.

 

&quot;What Rishikesh became for the Ganga, Barsana is
becoming for Braj—the ultimate sanctuary where spirituality meets
modernity,&quot; remarked a prominent real estate consultant.

 

The momentum suggests accelerating property
valuations, expanded infrastructure networks, and intensified investor
focus—cementing Barsana&#039;s status among India&#039;s most meaningful investment
landscapes.

<description><![CDATA[ Chennai, 9th Dec. 2025 : Texvalley,
one of Tamil Nadu’s significant integrated marketplaces with a built-up area of
20 lakh sq. ft., is undergoing a decisive shift in its trajectory as it
prepares to emerge as a comprehensive retail, lifestyle and family
entertainment destination. 

Located strategically at Erode and promoted by the Lotus
Group and URC Group, Texvalley has built a strong legacy as a
textile and wholesale powerhouse all these years. 

The transformation aims to expand this strength into a
broader, future-ready consumer ecosystem that reflects the aspirations of young
millennials and Gen Z shoppers who are driving the new wave of retail growth in
Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets, especially in the Kongu region.

Reflecting on the transformation, Mr. Kabilan
Devarajan, Chief Executive Officer of URC Group, said “Texvalley has been
a symbol of Erode’s pride, reflecting entrepreneurial spirit and textile
heritage. The current phase marks a forward-looking step, designed to ensure
that Texvalley remains relevant and competitive for the next decade by tapping
into the consumer demand emerging across Western Tamil Nadu”. 

Texvalley’s makes it uniquely placed to serve a vast
and diverse consumption catchment. In addition to Erode’s residential and
commercial clusters, the destination draws potential footfalls from
Gobichettipalayam, Bhavani, Perundurai, Sangagiri &amp; Tiruchengode, along
with key pockets of the larger Tiruppur region such as Avinashi, Palladam,
Kangeyam and Vellakoil. 

Its influence additionally extends to the
Karur–Paramathi-Velur belt, Aravakurichi, Namakkal and important nodes across
Salem including Rasipuram, Omalur, Yercaud and Mettur. 

This depth of catchment, coupled with the absence of
large integrated retail and entertainment destinations in the region, positions
Texvalley to evolve into a landmark of regional consumption.

The transformation is being led by Miles2Go Consulting
Services, a Chennai-based retail consulting and consumer strategy firm founded
by retail industry veteran Mr. S. Shriram. 

Under this collaboration, Miles2Go is anchoring
Texvalley’s comprehensive rebranding, long-term strategic roadmap, improved
zoning and modern layout planning, diversification of the retail mix, creation
of entertainment and leisure districts, and development of a strong marketing
and events framework aligned with regional cultural and festive cycles. 

The mandate includes a 10–15-year vision plan that
aims to enhance visitor experience, increase dwell time, improve navigation and
introduce curated interactive elements that appeal to youth and families while
retaining Texvalley’s strengths in trade-driven retail

Speaking about the repositioning, S. Shriram,
Founder and CEO of Miles2Go Consulting Services, observed “Tier-2 India
today demands modern retail environments that balance aspiration with
affordability and accessibility. 

Texvalley’s scale, location and deep-rooted trade
ecosystem gives it an incredible advantage unmatched by most regional
destinations, and that the vision is to reshape Texvalley into an
influential retail and leisure landmark that seamlessly integrates shopping,
dining, entertainment and cultural experiences”. 

 

Kabilan emphasised
“With Miles2Go’s strategic guidance, the development is not just being upgraded
but is being thoughtfully reimagined to serve both traders and consumers”.

 

Shriram added that the
transformation is intended to be data-driven and evolutionary, allowing
Texvalley to adapt to consumer expectations while building long-term loyalty.

 

A dozen F&amp;B opportunities are in the anvil,
alongside interesting events for women, men and kids during the upcoming
holiday and festival seasons in Dec. ’25 &amp; Jan. ’26.

 

Over 2,000 persons are currently employed directly and
indirectly at the Texvalley premises and this number is expected to double by
exit FY 2027.



What Retailers have to say

A senior leader of a national apparel brand evaluating
Texvalley’s ready to-launch Avenue Malls spread over 3 lakh sq. ft.
said that Tier-2 India has become one of the industry’s strongest growth
engines. He noted that shoppers outside metros today expect the same quality,
service &amp; brand experience, and destinations like Texvalley provide the
scale and infrastructure retailers look for.

A family entertainment operator who has completed
fit-outs at the ready-to launch Avenue Malls added that Texvalley’s
upcoming redevelopment will further catalyse demand and improve cross-category
conversions.

The retail community within Texvalley has responded
positively too, to the new direction. 

An existing tenant at the Global Market -
the B2B and B2C shopping centre at Texvalley campus, said, “footfalls are
increasingly driven by young families and aspirational consumers and that the
renewed focus on brand visibility, entertainment and food offerings is e ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ India, National, 9th December 2025 : Savills India announced today that the brand will host a curated
Gurugram property expo in London on 13–14 December 2025 at Hilton,
London, Metropole, from 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM, bringing
together seven leading developers of India -BPTP, Shapoorji Pallonji, Birla
Estates, Krisumi Corporation, Experion Developers, Indiabulls Developers and
Signature Global. The platform is designed to highlight the strength and
long-term potential of Gurugram’s real estate market to NRI investors and
global citizens, backed by Savills’ global advisory expertise and legacy of
trust.

 

NRI confidence in India’s real estate continues to
strengthen as the country enters a period of stable economic expansion,
improved transparency, and sustained demand for premium housing. This
combination has positioned India as a preferred long-term investment market for
global Indians.

 

At the forefront of this momentum is Gurugram,
now one of India’s most aspirational residential and commercial hubs. Home
to Fortune 500 companies, the city has emerged as a powerhouse of
corporate activity with one of the highest office leasing volumes in
the country, driven significantly by the expansion of Global
Capability Centres (GCCs). This vibrant workplace ecosystem supported by
high-quality residential supply and robust social infrastructure including
schools, hospitals, dining, retail, entertainment, and mobility makes Gurugram
one of the most desirable cities to live, work, and invest in. Its
superior connectivity and globally aligned lifestyle infrastructure, combined
with high-growth micro-markets such as Dwarka Expressway, Golf Course
Road, Golf Course Extension, and SPR, further position Gurugram as the
natural choice for NRI investors seeking quality, trust, and long-term
appreciation potential.

 

NRI preferences are also shifting towards future-ready
and emerging asset classes such as branded residences, senior living
communities, and leisure or wellness-led homes. These formats offer governance,
services, and design standards comparable to global markets, making them
increasingly attractive to affluent Indian families abroad.

 

Speaking on this, Shveta Jain, Managing Director
&amp; Head, Residential Services, Savills India, said, “Gurugram has firmly established itself as the city that
reflects India’s growth energy and global mindset. NRIs today are looking for
clarity, confidence, and long-term value, and that is exactly what this market
offers. Our upcoming Gurugram showcase is an opportunity to present this story
directly to global Indians. At Savills, our focus is to guide them with
transparent, research-backed insight, ensuring they invest with trust and
conviction.”

 

With its international footprint, research strength,
and advisory-first approach, Savills continues to be the preferred partner for
NRIs engaging with India’s most promising real estate opportunities, with
Gurugram at the forefront of this growth story.

<title>Rite Water Emerges as Fast&amp;Growing Solar Pump Player, Contributes 2,497 Installations to Maharashtra’s Guinness World Record</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rite-water-emerges-as-fast-growing-solar-pump-player-contributes-2497-installations-to-maharashtras-guinness-world-record</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rite-water-emerges-as-fast-growing-solar-pump-player-contributes-2497-installations-to-maharashtras-guinness-world-record</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a historic feat
that has put Maharashtra on the global clean-energy map, Mahavitaran (MSEDCL)
has officially entered the Guinness World Records by installing an astonishing
45,911 solar agricultural pumps in just 30 days under the state’s flagship
“Magel Tyala Saur Krushi Pump” scheme. Amid this extraordinary achievement, one
name has risen rapidly through the ranks: Nagpur-headquartered cleantech
company Rite Water Solutions.

 

Though Rite Water
entered the solar pumping segment less than two years ago, it delivered 2,497
installations during the record-breaking month, placing it comfortably among
the top ten contributors to this landmark initiative.

 

The company’s
meteoric rise has caught the attention of industry watchers. Rite Water has
already surpassed 25,000 solar pump installations across Maharashtra and
Rajasthan, establishing itself as one of the fastest-scaling players in a
highly competitive sector.

 

“This Guinness
World Record is a testament to the collective resolve of the Maharashtra
government, MSEDCL, farmers, and every implementing partner,” said Abhijeet
Gaan, Founder and Managing Director of Rite Water Solutions. “We are proud to
have played a meaningful role in such a short timeframe. For us, solar-powered
irrigation is far more than a renewable energy intervention; it is a powerful
tool that is transforming rural livelihoods, eliminating electricity and diesel
costs, and bringing income stability to thousands of farming families.”

 

The solar pumps
deployed under the scheme deliver reliable daytime irrigation without
dependence on erratic grid supply, wipe out recurring electricity bills,
eliminate diesel expenses, boost crop productivity, and significantly reduce
wear and tear on rural feeders and transformers. Engineers and field teams
worked round-the-clock across remote and dispersed villages to meet the
aggressive 30-day target, often under challenging terrain and logistical
conditions.

 

Beyond its
immediate benefit to farmers, the programme carries deep financial significance
for distribution companies. By shifting agricultural load to decentralized
solar solutions, DISCOMs substantially lower power purchase costs, reduce
transmission and distribution losses, and ease the strain on an already
overburdened rural grid. Analysts view the initiative as a strategic win-win
that strengthens both farmer economics and the financial health of power
utilities.

 

Rite Water’s
broader vision extends well beyond solar pumps. With a strong existing
footprint in drinking water purification, wastewater treatment, and rural IoT
platforms serving over 25,000 villages, the company is evolving into an
integrated rural technology provider. Gaan added that Rite Water is gearing up
to enter additional states and bundle complementary solutions such as smart
water management, remote monitoring, and predictive maintenance to create even
greater value for rural communities.

 

The Guinness World
Record has been hailed as a milestone moment for India’s clean energy movement.
As the country accelerates agricultural solarisation through national and
state-level schemes, innovative and agile companies like Rite Water are poised
to play a pivotal role in delivering scalable, high-quality, decentralized
energy solutions to the last mile.

 

With demand for
solar pumping set to surge in the coming years, Rite Water’s proven execution
capability and rapid growth trajectory position it firmly among the rising
stars of India’s rural clean-energy ecosystem. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Noida, India – December 9, 2025 : MetaApply IE, a leading study abroad EdTech, proudly announces
its partnership with United States Global University (USGU). Together,
they are set to redefine how students in India perceive education through the
groundbreaking Satellite Campus Initiative, a first-of-its-kind model
designed to merge global expertise with local opportunities. Classes begin on 15th
December 2025, marking the start of an incredible learning journey.

 

This collaboration isn’t just about setting up
classrooms; it’s about transforming aspirations into action. By
combining USGU’s globally recognised curriculum with MetaApply IE’s robust
infrastructure and student-focused services, the initiative will deliver career-ready
education that is accessible, relevant, and future-focused.
 

A Vision for Change

 

USGU has long championed the mission of delivering
industry-aligned programs that empower students to thrive in global markets.
With India’s young, ambitious population and rapidly evolving industries, this
strategic move creates an unmatched opportunity to build a skilled,
workforce-ready generation.

 

MetaApply IE, known for simplifying the overseas
education journey, will ensure students in India benefit from international-quality
learning without leaving their home country, bridging global aspirations
with local accessibility.
 

What is the Satellite Campus Initiative?

 

The initiative will establish hybrid campuses
in India in MetaApply IE Study Abroad Centres, starting with Noida and
Hyderabad, that blend online delivery with in-person academic and
administrative support. These satellite campuses will feature:

 

Flexible hybrid formats (Live-online learning +
localised support)

 

Modern classrooms with 15+ student capacity per batch

 

On-ground staff for tutoring, student services, and
career placements

 

Internship tie-ups with local businesses and community
organisations
 

Programs Designed for Tomorrow

 

Each program is designed to meet the demands of
India’s growing industries, offering practical, hands-on learning. Proposed
certifications include:

 

Social Media Marketing with Artificial Intelligence – Learn cutting-edge digital tools and AI-driven strategies.

 

Prompt Engineering with Artificial Intelligence – Practical guidance on starting and scaling AI ventures.

 

Business &amp; Accounting – Specialised programs such as Bookkeeping, Payroll, and Tax
Preparation

 

More industry-relevant certificate programs will be
introduced soon, aligned with current and emerging market standards.
 

Why It Matters

 

This model isn’t just about education; it’s about
access, empowerment, and opportunity. Students will gain globally recognised
qualifications, industry-relevant skills, and pathways to both local and
international careers. Upon certificate completion, students become eligible
for a Pathway to the M1 Visa, opening doors to advanced study and
professional opportunities in the US. For USGU, it’s an expansion of global
presence; for MetaApply IE, it’s another step towards making world-class
education accessible to everyone.

 

Looking Ahead

 

Together, USGU and MetaApply IE are reimagining
education delivery. This partnership marks the start of a sustainable,
student-first ecosystem that blends technology, industry, and academia to fuel
India’s growth story.

<description><![CDATA[  Mumbai, India – December 8, 2025 : The Tata Group and The New York
Academy of Sciences gathered at the historic Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai on
Friday, December 5, to celebrate the 2025 Tata Transformation Prize Winners
with an inspiring ceremony and dinner. Launched in 2023, the Tata Transformation
Prize identifies and supports visionary scientists in India who
are developing breakthrough technologies that address India’s most
significant societal challenges in Food Security, Sustainability, and
Healthcare. 

The 2025 Tata Transformation Prize Winners, selected
from 212 entries from 27 Indian states by an international jury of leading
experts, are: 

•     
Food Security Winner: Padubidri
V. Shivaprasad, PhD, from the National Centre for Biological Sciences, has
developed rice varieties that could reduce the need for fertilizers and
pesticides, cut farming costs, and offer more nutritious food for millions. By
using advanced gene-regulation tools in rice, India’s main agricultural staple,
his innovation boosts stress tolerance and improves nutrition. By fine-tuning
how certain genes are switched on or off, his method goes beyond traditional
breeding, which can be slow and uncertain. His work also provides a sustainable
model for strengthening staple crops worldwide due to global warming and
climate change. Watch his film HERE
 

•     
Sustainability Winner: Balasubramanian Gopal,
PhD, from the Indian
Institute of Science has created a green chemistry
platform that uses specially engineered E. coli bacteria to produce
necessary chemicals for medicines, cosmetics, and agriculture. By combining AI
with lab experiments, his team quickly designs better enzymes and improves
bacteria to produce high yields, without antibiotics or harmful additives. This
sustainable approach can replace traditional, polluting chemical processes,
strengthen India’s domestic production, and help position the country as a
leader in environmentally friendly biomanufacturing. Watch his film HERE

 

•     
Healthcare Winner: Ambarish Ghosh, PhD, from
the Indian Institute
of Science, 
is developing magnetic nanorobots—tiny, screw-shaped devices that can be safely
guided through the body to target cancer. These nanorobots can navigate complex
tissues, deliver drugs directly to tumors, and distinguish cancer cells from
healthy ones. His team is also building imaging tools to track and control them
in real time. This approach could offer more precise, less invasive cancer
treatments with fewer side effects, and make advanced therapies more accessible
and affordable in India and other low- and middle-income countries. Watch
his film HERE 

Harish Bhatt, former brand custodian for Tata Sons, served as the
ceremony presenter. The evening&#039;s Guest of Honour, Prof. S. Bruce Dowton,
Vice-Chancellor of Macquarie University (Australia), gave the keynote address. Other distinguished guests attending the
ceremony include Krishnaswamy Vijayraghavan, Emeritus Professor and Former
Director, National Centre for Biological Sciences; M. Lakshmi Kantam, Dr. B.P.
Godrej Distinguished Professor of Green Chemistry and Sustainability
Engineering, Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai; and Chandrika Tandon,
Indian-American businesswoman, philanthropist, and
Grammy-winning musical artist.

In his opening remarks, N. Chandrasekaran, Chairman of the Board of Tata
Sons, said, “The prize is part of the Tata Group&#039;s commitment to invest in
India’s next generation of scientific leaders and to champion vital
research at every stage of its evolution. To our Winners, we
celebrate your discoveries, your ambitions, and above all, your
determination to make life better for millions of people.”

Prof. Nicholas B. Dirks,
President and CEO of The New York Academy of Sciences, followed the Chairman’s
remarks commenting on the growth of the program: &quot;Since its
founding just three years ago, the Tata Transformation Prize has grown remarkably
in both scope and impact, gaining nationwide visibility and elevating the work
of its recipients. This heightened recognition has helped propel past Winners
onto the international stage, opening doors to future honours and new
opportunities to translate their innovations into real societal benefit.” Prof.
Dirks highlighted achievements by Tata Transformation Prize Winners from 2023
and 2024. He also recognized this year’s jury, which included eminent
scientists, clinicians, technologists, and engineers from world-renowned
organizations and academic institutions across five continents, and the role of
the Prize’s Scientific Advisory Council, who serve as ambassadors for the
program.

To drive transformative innovation and scale up the implementation of
high-reward research, each Winner received INR 2 crores (approximately
US$228,000) in prize money and was honoured with a Tata Transformation Prize
medal at the ceremony.

<title>CLAT 2026 Exam Analysis by Shahnawaz Rayeen, CLAT Expert with 10+ Years of Experience – LegalEdge by Toprankers</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/clat-2026-exam-analysis-by-shahnawaz-rayeen-clat-expert-with-10-years-of-experience-legaledge-by-toprankers</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/clat-2026-exam-analysis-by-shahnawaz-rayeen-clat-expert-with-10-years-of-experience-legaledge-by-toprankers</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The CLAT 2025 cycle — marked by errors, ambiguity, last-minute
clarifications, and a general sense of procedural chaos — had created deep
apprehension among students, parents, and institutions alike. The anxiety
heading into this year’s exam wasn’t just about difficulty; it was about trust.
After 2025, everyone walked into CLAT 2026 hoping for stability, predictability,
and a paper that wouldn’t collapse under scrutiny.

In that context, CLAT 2026 came as a relief. It was structured,
coherent, and far more disciplined in its design. While sections like Logical
Reasoning did push students, the paper avoided the unpredictability and
confusion that had defined the previous year. Most importantly, students did
not have to battle avoidable errors — a significant improvement given how the
2025 experience had shaped expectations.

Yes, pressure was extremely high this year, but it was pressure
created not by the exam itself, rather by the shadow of CLAT 2025. And in that
sense, CLAT 2026 restored confidence. It reassured students that their effort
either during self study or at their CLAT
Coaching would be evaluated fairly and that the exam
could still deliver a transparent, academically sound test.

Section Wise Analysis

English was easy to moderate, driven by literature-style passages
resembling works like Sapiens and Animal Farm, with answers that
demanded close attention to vocabulary and context.

Current Affairs continued its recent trend and stayed easy to
moderate, dominated by predictable, well-known topics such as taxation, SCO,
Air India, and Pahalgam — rewarding students who had revised consistently
throughout the year.

Legal Reasoning was balanced and accessible, a mix of principle-based
questions and a few direct legal-knowledge prompts around themes like same-sex
marriage and governance; nothing out of scope and scoring for anyone with
strong fundamentals.

Quantitative Techniques was also easy to moderate but slightly
calculative, with questions driven by percentages, ratios, and proportions —
straightforward for students comfortable with arithmetic.

The biggest shift — and the single largest differentiator — was
Logical Reasoning. Instead of the traditional CLAT-style critical reasoning
passages, the section tilted heavily toward Analytical Reasoning, with puzzles,
seating arrangements, blood relations, sequences, caselets, and
data-arrangement sets. ]]></description>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In that context, CLAT 2026 came as a relief. It was structured, coherent, and far more disciplined in its design. While sections like Logical Reasoning did push students, the paper avoided the unpredictability and confusion that had defined the previous year.

<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Yes, pressure was extremely high this year, but it was pressure created not by the exam itself, rather by the shadow of CLAT 2025.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span lang="EN">Section Wise Analysis</span></u></b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">English was easy to moderate, driven by literature-style passages resembling works like <i>Sapiens</i> and <i>Animal Farm</i>, with answers that demanded close attention to vocabulary and context.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Current Affairs continued its recent trend and stayed easy to moderate, dominated by predictable, well-known topics such as taxation, SCO, Air India, and Pahalgam — rewarding students who had revised consistently throughout the year.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Legal Reasoning was balanced and accessible, a mix of principle-based questions and a few direct legal-knowledge prompts around themes like same-sex marriage and governance; nothing out of scope and scoring for anyone with strong fundamentals.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Quantitative Techniques was also easy to moderate but slightly calculative, with questions driven by percentages, ratios, and proportions — straightforward for students comfortable with arithmetic.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The biggest shift — and the single largest differentiator — was Logical Reasoning. Instead of the traditional CLAT-style critical reasoning passages, the section tilted heavily toward Analytical Reasoning, with puzzles, seating arrangements, blood relations, sequences, caselets, and data-arrangement sets.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ 20 Customised
Wheelchairs and Wheelchair-Accessible Bus has been donated to Divyangs of CRPF
to support their efforts in para-sports pursuits after major service-related
injuries.

Secunderabad,
8th November 2025 : Renault Nissan Technology &amp; Business
Centre India (RNTBCI), has launched a new Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
initiative aimed at enhancing para-sport opportunities and improving mobility
access for Divyang personnel at the National Centre for Divyang Empowerment
(NCDE). This initiative supports individuals who have sustained mobility
limitations while serving and protecting our country. Implemented in
collaboration with India Cares Foundation, the project has delivered 20
customized mobile wheelchairs - including 5 sports wheelchairs, and a
wheelchair-accessible bus to the CRPF Group Centre in Secunderabad.

The handover ceremony
was graced by the Director General - CRPF, Shri. G.P. Singh, who formally
received the equipment on behalf of the Divyang personnel. The occasion was
attended Akira Hanzawa Senior Vice President - Nissan Engineering and Costing
and Binu Nair, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility and Head  –
Administration and Physical Security from RNTBCI, along with senior leadership
from CRPF. The ceremony concluded with a walkthrough of the wheelchair
specifications and the accessibility features of the newly inducted vehicle.

Speaking at the
ceremony, Binu Nair Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, General
Administration and Physical Security, RNTBCI said, “This project is an
emotional and deeply meaningful initiative for all of us at RNTBCI. The
wheelchairs represent hope and a second chance for the young men who have
sacrificed so much for our country. We believe that this mobility will restore
their independence and instil pride in continuing to serve the nation.”

Sharing his
remarks at the ceremony, Shri. G.P. Singh, Director General - CRPF, noted,
“Standing in support of persons with disabilities is yet another milestone in
our journey. The National Centre for Divyang Empowerment has been equipping our
divyang friends with vital skills in computers and para-sports, opening doors
to independence and achievement. Today, with the generous support of Renault
Nissan and India Cares Foundation, we are proud to add a special bus and
wheelchairs to our resources. These contributions strengthen our mission of
advancing parasports and ensuring that every divyang friend has the opportunity
to thrive with dignity and pride.”

This initiative
is expected to improve daily functioning, internal mobility and medical transit
for personnel, reinforcing long-term accessibility and rehabilitation capacity
within the Centre.   As Divyangs   are already pursuing different
games and sporting fields and have received 67 Medals in para sports, namely
Constable Toman Kumar captured gold in 2025 Para world Championship and Manvendra
Singh has clinched titles in International and National level in rifle
shooting. The Donation will make them more empowered to achieve many more
medals at national and international events.  ]]></description>

<title>HiveSchool Gains Strong Traction Among CAT Aspirants With 15 LPA Average Placement and 30 LPA Highest Offer</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 08 December, Gurugram (Haryana)
[India] : As CAT aspirants across India prepare for yet another competitive
admission season, many are also pausing to ask a bigger question: What
truly guarantees strong career outcomes after business school? 

Stepping into this conversation with striking early results is HiveSchool,
India’s first specialised Sales Business School, which has announced an average
placement of ₹15 LPA and a highest package of ₹30 LPA in just its very
first placement cycle.

In its inaugural placement season
(2024–25), HiveSchool recorded an average CTC of ₹14.76 LPA,
with 33 students receiving 38 offers. Over 70% of these
roles came from US-facing B2B startups, many backed by leading firms and
hiring for critical revenue, sales, and GTM leadership roles. The numbers have
already begun outperforming several Tier-2 MBA colleges and even select Mini
IIMs drawing increasing attention from CAT aspirants looking beyond
traditional MBA pathways.

With this early momentum, HiveSchool
has now set a bold long-term vision: to become one of India’s Top 20
B-Schools by 2030.

“We’re not building a B-school to
win brochure battles or chase legacy rankings,” said Nikhil Gaur,
Founder of HiveSchool. “We’re building a school focused entirely on
outcomes. If CAT aspirants are putting in two years of preparation, they
deserve a direct line to real-world success. That’s the gap we exist to fill.”

A New Destination for Serious CAT
Aspirants

HiveSchool is now scaling its fully
offline, 9-month Postgraduate Program in Sales, Technology &amp;
Entrepreneurship, based in Gurugram. At a time when most CAT-driven MBA
programs remain theory-heavy, HiveSchool’s model is deeply execution-first.

Students work on:


 Live business simulations
 Weekly founder-led problem statements
 Role-specific sales and GTM sprints
     Direct exposure to high-growth startup environments


The objective is simple: to
create job-ready revenue leaders from Day 1.

“The online model helped us validate
demand and placements,” added Nikhil Gaur. “Going offline allows us to build
culture, peer learning, and intensity at an entirely different level. CAT
aspirants today don’t just want degrees they want proof of outcomes.”

The Three Pillars of the
HiveSchool Model

HiveSchool’s academic and placement
framework rests on three core pillars:

1. Curriculum Built by Operators,
Not Academics
Modules include founder-led sales strategy, sales operations, full-funnel GTM,
revenue tech, and enterprise sales systems.

2. Mentorship by Startup Leaders
Students are mentored by senior operators from companies such as LinkedIn,
MakeMyTrip, Zomato, and fast-scaling SaaS startups.

3. Outcome-Driven Placements
Students are placed into real revenue-critical roles like Account
Executive, Founder’s Office, Revenue Analyst, and GTM Strategist often
working directly with founders, CROs, and GTM heads.

HiveSchool is also expanding
its VC and startup partner network to actively support talent from
underrepresented backgrounds and build a sustainable pipeline of
next-generation sales leaders.

From Shark Tank to Offline Campus

HiveSchool’s real-world learning
philosophy gained national attention following its appearance on Shark
Tank India, where Aman Gupta, Co-founder of boAt, advised the
founders to move into a more immersive offline model. The team had already
begun acting on this advice even before the episode aired and formally launched
its offline Gurugram campus shortly thereafter.

What’s Next for CAT Aspirants?

With admissions now open for
its first full-scale offline PGP cohort, HiveSchool is positioning itself
as a high-ROI alternative for ambitious CAT aspirants who care as much
about placements and live exposure as they do about brand names.

About HiveSchool

HiveSchool is India’s first
business school dedicated to building elite Sales, GTM, and Startup
talent for the global tech economy. Its flagship 9-month
Postgraduate Program in Sales, Tech &amp; Entrepreneurship is delivered
fully offline in Gurugram and led by top startup operators. With a fast-growing
placement record, strong VC and founder backing, and a sharply outcome-driven
model, HiveSchool is redefining what business education can look like for
India’s next generation of operators.

<title>A Beginner’s Guide to Studying in the United States</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/a-beginners-guide-to-studying-in-the-united-states</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/a-beginners-guide-to-studying-in-the-united-states</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The United States is known around
the world for its wide and flexible higher education system. What makes it
especially appealing to students both local and international is the freedom to
choose from a huge range of colleges and courses. Whether you want to focus on
academics, gain practical job skills, or explore different subjects, the U.S.
has something for everyone.

Types of
Institutions in U.S. Higher Education

There are nearly 4,000 accredited higher education institutions
in the U.S. Unlike many countries where the education system is controlled by
the government, U.S. colleges and universities work independently. These
institutions are reviewed and approved by national or regional accrediting
bodies to ensure quality.

Here’s a breakdown of the main
types of colleges:

●       
Liberal Arts Colleges
These
colleges focus on a broad education in areas like arts, humanities, languages,
social sciences, and physical sciences. Most of them are private and smaller in
size. They may also have religious ties or be only for one gender. Liberal arts
colleges help students become critical thinkers and good communicators.



●       
Private Colleges and Universities
These
are funded through tuition fees, donations from former students (alumni),
research grants, and private funds. While they may be more expensive, they
often offer smaller class sizes and more personal attention.



●       
Community Colleges
Community
colleges offer two-year associate degree programs. They are a great option for
students who want to transfer to a four-year college later or those who want to
get job-ready quickly with vocational training.



●       
Public Colleges and Universities
Also
known as state universities, these are funded by state governments. They are
usually larger, offer a wide range of programs, and are more affordable,
especially for in-state residents. These universities also focus heavily on
research and accept a diverse student population.

How the U.S. Education
System Works

In the U.S., students earn credits
for each course they complete. These credits add up to meet the requirements of
a degree. Most programs are made up of:

●       
Core Courses: Basic subjects that form the foundation of your degree.

●       
Major Courses: Focused subjects that you choose to specialize in.

●       
Elective Courses: Extra subjects based on your interests, allowing you to explore
new topics or develop other skills.

This system allows students to
customize their education based on their interests and career goals.

Academic
Calendar and Terms

Most U.S. colleges follow an
academic calendar that begins in September and ends in May. The year is
usually split into two main terms called semesters, each lasting 16–18
weeks. Some colleges, however, use a quarter or trimester system,
with shorter terms of around 10–12 weeks.

Why the U.S.
Education System Stands Out

The biggest strength of the U.S.
system is its flexibility and variety. Whether you want a small, private
liberal arts college or a large public university, you can
find a place that fits your budget, interests, and career plans. This freedom
helps students grow both personally and professionally, making their education
experience truly well-rounded.

Choosing to study in the United
States means more than just earning a degree. It’s about finding the right path
for your personal, academic, and professional growth. With thousands of
colleges to choose from, a flexible course structure, and multiple degree
types, the U.S. offers an educational journey that fits every student&#039;s unique
needs.

<title>Rajeev Bhatt: The Architect of India’s Neurodiversity and Inclusion Revolution</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rajeev-bhatt-the-architect-of-indias-neurodiversity-and-inclusion-revolution</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rajeev-bhatt-the-architect-of-indias-neurodiversity-and-inclusion-revolution</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ On 3 December 2025, when Rajeev Bhatt stepped
forward to receive the National Award for Empowerment of Persons with
Disabilities, the thunderous standing ovation that filled the auditorium
signified far more than recognition of a single achievement. It was a
collective tribute to three decades of unwavering dedication—a quiet yet
powerful revolution that transformed how India understands, accepts, and
supports children with learning differences. For over thirty years, Rajeev
Bhatt has been one of the most influential figures shaping India’s discourse on
learning disabilities, neurodiversity, and inclusive education. In an era when
stigma overshadowed science and parents struggled with confusion, he offered
clarity, compassion, and credibility.

A Visionary Ahead of His Time

Long before terms like autism, dyslexia, or
ADHD became part of mainstream conversation, Rajeev Bhatt was already
interpreting their complexities for the nation. His pioneering books Decoding
Autism and Decoding Dyslexia became foundational resources for parents,
educators, and practitioners across India. These works bridged the often
intimidating gap between scientific research and real-life application, making
the subjects accessible and relatable. For thousands of families, these books
became lifelines—sources of answers during times of uncertainty.

A defining moment in his early career came
through his mentorship of Aditya Bawa, the first CBSE student to receive
academic recognition despite severe learning disabilities. Aditya’s recognition
by then–Prime Minister Shri I. K. Gujral marked a historic shift: it brought
the challenges faced by children with learning differences into national focus.
This milestone did not merely change the course of one child’s life—it ignited
a movement. Rajeev Bhatt emerged from that moment as a national torchbearer for
inclusive education.

Transforming Lives, One Child at a Time

Since the early 1990s, Rajeev Bhatt has been at
the forefront of India’s fight against stigma and misconception. At a time when
many children were misdiagnosed or dismissed, he traveled across the
country—cities, towns, and rural communities—spreading awareness that was
rooted in empathy as much as expertise. Under the umbrella of the Inclusive
India initiative, he conducted a wide range of programs, including awareness
sessions, sensitization workshops, parent guidance modules, teacher training
seminars, and community advocacy campaigns.

His approach has always been gentle but firm.
Instead of battling stigma through confrontation, he dismantled it through
knowledge. He replaced fear with understanding, shame with acceptance, and
hopelessness with possibility.

Adhyayan Inclusive Learning Centre: A Model
for True Inclusion

One of Rajeev Bhatt’s most enduring
contributions is the Adhyayan Inclusive Learning Centre, an institution he
founded and continues to lead. Adhyayan is widely recognized as one of India’s
most effective models of Individualized Education Program (IEP)-driven
learning. Here, every child’s unique pace, strengths, and needs shape their
educational pathway.

Adhyayan has flourished into a nurturing,
innovative ecosystem where children with autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and other
learning needs experience genuine inclusion. The centre is built on three
fundamental pillars: educators who adapt teaching methods to the child, mentors
who build confidence, and a community that celebrates differences instead of
merely accommodating them.

The impact of this environment is visible in
the diverse career paths pursued by its students. Many have found their calling
in hospitality, culinary arts, retail, customer-facing services, digital
design, fine arts, sports, fitness, music, and audio production. These success
stories are not accidental—they are the result of consistent, strength-oriented
guidance. Rajeev Bhatt’s belief echoes through every achievement: “Destiny is
never defined by disability—only by opportunity.”

Empowerment Through Strengths, Not Deficits

Rajeev Bhatt’s philosophy represents a
paradigm shift. Instead of focusing on what a child struggles with, he
champions an education system built around what a child does naturally well.
This has led to the creation of a broad, robust framework centered on four key
components:

1. Strength-Oriented Education

Children are encouraged to tap into their
innate abilities—creativity, memory, visual perception, rhythm, or analytical
thinking. Learning is shaped around these strengths so that children experience
success before struggle.

2. Real-World Skill Training

Practical learning forms a major part of their
education. Students engage in customer interaction simulations, culinary tasks,
digital literacy sessions, and creative exploration in art and music. These
experiences instill both confidence and competence.

3. Social and Emotional Development

<title>PANORAMA STUDIOS PARTNERS WITH PEN STUDIOS TO ACQUIRE WORLDWIDE THEATRICAL AND DIGITAL RIGHTS OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED MALAYALAM FILM— DRISHYAM 3</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/panorama-studios-partners-with-pen-studios-to-acquire-worldwide-theatrical-and-digital-rights-of-the-most-anticipated-malayalam-film-drishyam-3</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, 6 December 2025 : In one of the
biggest Pan-India film acquisition deals of the year, Panorama Studios in
collaboration with Pen Studios has secured the worldwide theatrical &amp;
digital rights to the highly anticipated Malayalam film Drishyam 3.
Written and Directed by Jeethu Joseph and headlined by legendary actor
Mohanlal, the film is produced by Aashirvad Cinemas, led by Antony Perumbavoor.

 

Drishyam stands among the most influential and
celebrated cinematic franchises in Indian cinema. With its legacy of
record-breaking box office milestones, extraordinary fan engagement, and
multiple acclaimed remakes — including the Hindi adaptations produced by
Panorama Studios, with Drishyam 2 directed by Abhishek Pathak — the
franchise remains one of the most compelling and widely discussed s of
contemporary storytelling.

 

For Panorama Studios, the acquisition is both
sentimental and strategic. Kumar Mangat Pathak, Chairman, Panorama
Studios, said, “For me, Drishyam is more than a film — it has been a
transformative journey for Indian cinema. Acquiring these worldwide rights to
the original Malayalam franchise is a proud and emotional moment. With our
global distribution strength, we intend to make Drishyam 3 one of India’s
biggest international releases.”


 


 

Echoing industry optimism, Dr. Jayantilal
Gada, Director, Pen Studios, said, “With Drishyam 3, we continue our
mission of taking exceptional Indian stories to the world. Our partnership with
Panorama Studios strengthens this vision and ensures the film reaches the
global platform it truly deserves.”

 

Producer Antony Perumbavoor added, “With
Panorama Studios and Pen Studios coming together, the Malayalam Drishyam 3 will
now reach audiences at a scale we always believed it deserved. It’s truly
gratifying to see the story move forward with such support and shared vision.”

 

Actor Mohanlal shared, “Georgekutty has
stayed with me for years — in my thoughts, in the audience’s emotions, and in
the silence between the lines. Returning to him feels like meeting an old
friend with new secrets. I’m excited for the audience to see where his journey
leads.”


Director Jeethu Joseph added, “Stories like Drishyam don’t end — they
evolve. And seeing this partnership come together feels like the right step for
the journey ahead. We’ve always believed this story deserved a global stage,
and now, with this collaboration, it feels like the world is finally ready for
Georgekutty’s next move.”

 

The announcement also aligns with Panorama Studios’
expansion into Kerala as part of its long-term commitment to Malayalam
storytelling. The studio is actively collaborating with acclaimed talent and
emerging filmmakers, strengthening its mission to take Malayalam cinema to
national and global audiences. ]]></description>

<title>From DOOH to Real Estate, Virkaran Singh Unveils the Next Big Leap in Industry Innovation</title>

<description><![CDATA[  


 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 

 


Virkaran Singh,
Founder of Skuka Solutions Pvt. Ltd., is preparing for yet another
category-defining launch that is set to transform India’s real estate market.
After introducing It’s Spotlight, one of India’s fastest-growing technology and
data-driven DOOH networks, Virkaran is now getting ready to unveil It’s
Spotlight Rewards, a breakthrough the industry has never seen before.

In just seven
months, Virkaran has built It’s Spotlight from a new entrant into one of the
most trusted and intelligent DOOH ecosystems in the country. The platform has
deployed tech-enabled digital screens, delivered real-time data insights for
brands, and partnered with leading names such as Toyota, Honda, Apple, BMW,
Audi, ACC, Reliance and Vodafone Idea. It’s Spotlight also created digital
interactive zones during the Radhika Das India Tour, showing how digital
out-of-home media can evolve into a highly experiential and engaging touchpoint
for audiences.

Now, Virkaran Singh
is ready to take his vision into the real estate space.

While It’s
Spotlight continues to grow in media, data and brand engagement, It’s Spotlight
Rewards will focus on bringing much-needed transparency, structure and fairness
to India’s broker community. The platform introduces a reward system that the
industry has never formally recognised before and aims to bring clarity to
incentives while strengthening trust between developers and channel partners.

Sharing the thought behind this move,
Virkaran Singh says,
 “For years, people have earned rewards for almost everything they do,
whether it is buying groceries, booking flights or simply recharging their
phones. Yet real estate, which is India’s largest and most high-value sector,
has never offered a structured reward system. What we are about to launch, will
change the real estate market forever.”

With the launch of
It’s Spotlight Rewards, Virkaran Singh is introducing a shift that will
redefine how the real estate market operates. For the first time, transparent,
predictable and supported by technology.

<title>Transgender Nandini Sindhi Wins National Gold in Ice Stock Sport</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/transgender-nandini-sindhi-wins-national-gold-in-ice-stock-sport</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/transgender-nandini-sindhi-wins-national-gold-in-ice-stock-sport</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Transgender athlete Nandini Sindhi rises from struggle to national glory in Ice Stock Sport and now dreams of representing India at the international level.Born and raised in Jaipur, Nandini Sindhi, a proud member of the transgender community, has become an inspiring symbol of courage, determination, and sporting excellence. Her life—marked by hardship, discrimination, and relentless struggle—has transformed into a story of resilience after she won multiple medals in Ice Stock Sport, including the prestigious National Gold Medal in 2025.Nandini’s early life was filled with challenges. She lost both her parents at a very young age, leaving her responsible for supporting her entire family. While other children enjoyed carefree lives, she carried emotional and financial burdens far beyond her age. Growing up as a transgender child in a conservative society, she faced taunts, humiliation, exclusion, and discrimination. She was denied dignity, denied acceptance, and even denied employment opportunities simply because of her gender identity. With no support and no job prospects, she was forced to beg on trains just to survive.During one of her most difficult phases, a member of the transgender community helped her understand the realities of society and the importance of inner strength. She later found shelter through Garima Greh NGO, but when the center shut down unexpectedly, she again faced uncertainty. Eventually, she joined the broader transgender community, yet the discrimination did not stop.Determined to create a life of dignity for herself and others, Nandini began taking care of displaced transgender children and youth through the space earlier managed by Garima Greh’s Sartar Home. During this time, she met Msk Pankaj, a mentor from Garima Greh who played a crucial role in transforming her life. He introduced her to dance training and continued to guide her with genuine care.Nandini recalls this turning point with deep gratitude:“It was Msk Pankaj Sir who first told us about Ice Stock and took us to learn it. We all first met at the Garima Greh shelter home, where he used to train children for free in dance, singing, and other activities. Later, he called Manish Sir to teach us this sport and spoke to the Ice Stock Director to waive our fees. He gave us a chance to move forward and requested the association to support us. I thank him from my heart—no one does this much for transgender people.”— Transgender athlete Nandini SindhiThrough this support system, Nandini met Ice Stock Director Sakshi Sharma and coaches Sameer and Manish Bhati, who believed in her potential. Their guidance became the bridge between her struggles and her rising sports career.Her journey in Ice Stock Sport began in 2024 when she won a Silver Medal at the District Championship. She soon advanced to the State Championship, winning Gold, and later competed in the 11th National Ice Stock Championship 2025 in Gulmarg, Jammu &amp; Kashmir, where she secured Silver and Bronze among participants from 22 states.But Nandini’s dream was clear—she wanted national gold.On 12 August 2025, at an Ice Stock State Championship hosted by Vivekananda Global University, she achieved two Gold Medals. With renewed confidence, she competed in the Samar Stock National Championship 2025 in Agra, where athletes from 14 states participated. In a tough final match against Gujarat, Nandini and her team secured a spectacular victory by 8 points, finally winning the National Gold Medal she had worked so hard for.Today, Nandini aims to represent India on the international stage and bring home a gold medal for the country. She expresses heartfelt gratitude to the Ice Stock Association, Director Sakshi Sharma, Manish Bhati, Sameer Sir, and especially Msk Pankaj, whose support changed the direction of her life.Nandini’s journey is a powerful reminder that resilience can overcome prejudice, and determination can break every barrier. Her story serves as an inspiration for every individual who dares to rise above society’s limitations and fight for their dreams. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], December 5 : Avdhesh Industries, a long-established engineering company with more than 30 years of experience in die making, pattern development, precision machining, and reverse engineering, has announced significant advancements in its manufacturing ecosystem to support modern OEM requirements across India. Driven by a commitment to technology adoption and high-accuracy machining, the company now offers an integrated approach to tooling — combining digital engineering, CNC/VMC production, and advanced inspection methods under one workflow.At the core of Avdhesh Industries’ manufacturing system is its expertise in metal and aluminum pattern engineering, including split patterns, match plates, core boxes, cope and drag molds, shell core dies, investment casting dies (lost wax),  investment casting services and lost foam dies designed for high-precision foundry applications. Digital simulation helps identify shrinkage, flow defects, weak points, and machining collisions before manufacturing begins, reducing rework and improving first-time casting accuracy. This approach has helped foundries and OEMs achieve predictable production planning and better component consistency.Over the years, Avdhesh Industries has expanded beyond the pump industry to serve automotive, locomotive, defence, medical implant, industrial machinery, agriculture equipment, and valve casting manufacturers. This multi-sector capability has been built on investments in 3D scanning, CNC/VMC machining centers, CAD/CAM systems such as Siemens NX, Powermill, and SolidWorks, and simulation-guided design validation. These tools enable faster development cycles, improved casting outcomes, and repeatable accuracy for both prototype and production requirements.The company’s 3D scanning and reverse-engineering division provides high-resolution digital data capture for worn-out, discontinued, or legacy parts where drawings are unavailable. Converting STL data to CAD, generating casting deviation reports, and recreating complex geometries allow OEMs to upgrade critical components without depending on imported spares. This capability has been especially valuable in the automotive and defence sectors, where high dimensional standards, material control, and documentation traceability are mandatory.With growing demand for local sourcing and engineering reliability, Avdhesh Industries is strengthening internal quality processes through 3D inspection, CMM support, and export-ready packaging standards, ensuring dimensional stability during transit for heavy dies and machined components. While the company currently supplies across India, leadership has stated that it is actively preparing for long-term export-capable production, focusing on surface finish norms, tolerance control, simulation-based machining planning, and documentation for international RFQ eligibility.“As we move forward, our objective is to combine our heritage in tooling craftsmanship with digital manufacturing technology,” the management team shared. “We are building systems that support faster development, stronger accuracy, and sector-specific engineering requirements for OEM partners.”With continued investment in infrastructure, automation, talent development, and inspection, Avdhesh Industries aims to reinforce its position as a dependable precision engineering partner and a future-ready supplier for global manufacturing needs. ]]></description>

<title>Winter and Pollution: An Emerging Health Hazard – Can Nutrition Help Counter This Threat</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Satya Dev Tiwari, MD &amp; CEO at Voll Sante Functional Foods &amp; Nutraceuticals Pvt. Ltd Every winter, millions of people in north and western India wake up to a thick grey blanket of smog. From November to February, the air often becomes dangerous to breathe. The AirQuality Index (AQI) regularly crosses 400–500 (anything above 300 is considered “severe”). Crop burning in Punjab and Haryana, millions of vehicles, factory smoke, and cold air that traps everything close to the ground turn the season of festivals and weddings into a silent health emergency.Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 5 : This isn’t just “fog” that makes your eyes water. It’s a direct attack on your lungs that can harm you as much as years of smoking, even if you’ve never touched a cigarette. A major 2023 study in The Lancet showed that lung cancer in Delhi’s non-smokers has shot up because of air pollution.Here are the eight main ways this polluted air hurts your lungs and body:Instant irritation: Within hours of breathing bad air, your throat and chest feel tight, you cough, and you wheeze. Harmful gases irritate the airways like chilli powder in your nose.Tiny invisible particles (PM2.5) slip deep into the lungs and create “free radicals” - angry molecules that damage lung cells, almost like rust eating metal.Over weeks, the airways get thick and scarred. Even non-smokers start coughing up phlegm every morning - an early sign of COPD (chronic lung disease).The tiny air sacs that put oxygen into your blood start breaking, just like in heavy smokers. Many Delhi patients lose 15-20% of their lung power every year.Lungs slowly turn stiff and fibrous, making every breath feel harder.Cancer risk increases: Chemicals stuck to the pollution particles can change DNA and cause lung cancer. City residents are 2-3 times more likely to get it.Your lungs’ natural cleaning system (tiny hair-like sweepers called cilia) stops working properly, so colds, coughs, and pneumonia become common and last longer.The damage doesn’t stay in the lungs. Those tiny particles enter the blood and raise the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and in children, permanently smaller lungs.This is happening right now to millions of us.The good news? You can fight back from the inside.Your lungs depend on a strong immune system, and the right food gives your body the tools it needs. Vitamins C and E, Zinc, Omega-3 fats, and good protein act like an internal shield - they calm inflammation, repair damage, and keep the lung cleaners working.But in most Indian cities, getting enough of these nutrients is tough. Fast food, stress, lack of sleep, and expensive vegetables mean 7 out of 10 urban Indians are low on Vitamin C and Zinc. On top of that, pollution itself uses up these protective nutrients faster. It’s a losing battle unless you do something extra.This is where smart, targeted nutrition supplements can help fill the gap.One Indian company, Voll Sante, has created two products specially designed for people breathing polluted air:Voll Pro Respi is a plant-based, protein-powered lung support formula designed to help people breathe easier in polluted and post-illness conditions. It contains NAC (a compound doctors use in hospitals to thin stubborn mucus), turmeric, ginger, bromelain, and quercetin.Together, these ingredients help open the airways, reduce inflammation, and clear out trapped smoke and dust particles from the lungs. The protein component supports stronger respiratory muscles, which play a key role in better breathing capacity. The formula also helps boost glutathione, the lungs’ most important natural antioxidant.Many users report coughing less, feeling less heaviness in the chest, and breathing more comfortably within a few days - without any of the side effects associated with steroid-based options.Vollcee Z – a plant-based daily immunity tablet that gives 100% of your daily vitamin C from real amla (Indian gooseberry), proper doses of zinc and magnesium, plus black pepper extract that helps absorb these ingredients 20 times better. It keeps your defence system strong when pollution is trying to weaken it.Voll Pro Respi Protein Powder and Vollcee Z are widely available on Voll Sante Website and platforms like Amazon as well.Winter smog may be outside your control, but how hard it hits your body is not. A few small daily habits - eating more colourful fruits and vegetables when you can, staying hydrated, and adding science-backed nutritional support - can make a real difference.This year, don’t just wait for the air to get better. Give your lungs the backup they desperately need.Disclaimer: This press release is for general information purposes only and should not be construed as professional medical advice.

<description><![CDATA[ Milestone
achieved under the Mamta &amp; Madhusudan Agrawal Foundation; Chairman pledges
₹70 crore for Pain-Free Maharashtra

Mumbai, December 5 : The Mamta
&amp; Madhusudan Agrawal Foundation, led by philanthropist Shri Madhusudan
Agrawal, Vice Chairman &amp; Co-founder, Ajanta Pharma and Hon. Consul of the
Republic of Uganda, has set a Guinness World Records title for conducting the
highest number of knee screenings in 24 hours as part of its Pain-Free
Maharashtra initiative.

The record was officially certified by Ms. Sonia Ushirogochi, Guinness
World Records adjudicator from Japan, in Mumbai today, where medical teams
worked continuously to screen 512 patients from underserved communities across
Maharashtra. The achievement follows an intensive screening initiative
conducted from November 27–28, 2025 in Risod, one of the most economically
challenged regions of Washim district.

The record-setting event builds on a week-long Free Joint Health
Screening Camp held in Risod, Washim district, where patients from over 10
districts — including Washim, Akola, Amravati, Buldhana, and Yavatmal —
received free hip and knee evaluations. The camp concentrated on identifying
those needing knee or hip replacement while offering mobility and gait
evaluations. Alongside medical counselling and planning for next steps, free
medicines were distributed to all attendees. Crucially, every patient
recommended for replacement surgery will have the operation fully funded by the
Foundation. This initiative strengthens early diagnosis and access to joint
care across underserved regions.

Speaking about the initiative, Shri Madhusudan Agrawal,
said: “Achieving a Guinness World Records title is an honour, but the
true success lies in reaching people who often have no access to specialised
joint care. At 70, I consider it my responsibility to give back meaningfully,
and this initiative reflects our commitment to ensuring mobility, dignity, and
better health for every citizen—regardless of their financial background. I am
deeply grateful to our doctors, volunteers, and partners who worked tirelessly
to make this historic milestone possible.”

Launching the Pain Free Maharashtra campaign, he added,
“The true significance of this achievement lies in drawing attention
to the joint health challenges faced by underserved communities. With Pain Free
Maharashtra, we aim to build awareness, encourage early care and support people
in maintaining their mobility and dignity. I am sincerely grateful to our
doctors, volunteers and partners whose dedication has made this milestone
possible.”

To mark his 70th birthday, Shri Madhusudan Agrawal has pledged ₹70
crore to be deployed to enhance healthcare access across rural Maharashtra. The
funding will support expanded joint care services, improved diagnostic
facilities, and mobility-related interventions for underserved communities.
This commitment is set to significantly improve the quality of life for
thousands suffering from chronic joint conditions. It underscores his
long-standing dedication to social healthcare development.

Ms. Sonia Ushirogochi, Guinness
World Records adjudicator from Japan, said, “On behalf of Guinness World
Records, I would like to congratulate Mamta Madhusudan Agrawal Memorial
Foundation and Sanjeevani Mamta Hospital and Research Center on this remarkable
achievement. Guinness World Records has always been proud to support and
recognize initiatives that advance health—whether through preventive care,
raising awareness, or promoting community wellbeing. I am honored to present
this certificate today which exemplifies helping humanity and making the world
a better, healthier place.”

The Mamta &amp; Madhusudan Agrawal Foundation
has strengthened community healthcare across Maharashtra through 214
free medical camps, reaching 39,000+ people with essential and
often life-changing support. Its wide-ranging medical initiatives include 300+
subsidized joint replacements, 150+ cancer surgeries and
chemotherapy treatments, 1,500+ cataract surgeries, 150+
artificial limbs, 50 ENT surgeries, 6,500+ dialysis
sessions, and 50 paediatric orthopaedic corrective procedures.
These impactful interventions reflect the Foundation’s clear focus on
delivering equitable, affordable, and high-quality healthcare to those who need
it most, while consistently bridging critical gaps in access for underserved
communities.

 

The foundation has delivered healthcare
support at scale, conducting 214 free medical camps and benefiting nearly
39,000 people. Its interventions include subsidized joint replacements, cancer
surgeries, cataract procedures, artificial limbs, and dialysis support. These
services address critical medical gaps for economically weaker communities
across Maharashtra. The Foundation’s impact reflects a sustained commitment to
accessible and affordable healthcare.

The camp concentrated on identifying those needing knee or hip replacement while offering mobility and gait evaluations. Alongside medical counselling and planning for next steps, free medicines were distributed to all attendees. Crucially, every patient recommended for replacement surgery will have the operation fully funded by the Foundation. This initiative strengthens early diagnosis and access to joint care across underserved regions.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Speaking about the initiative,<b> Shri Madhusudan Agrawal</b>, said: <i>“Achieving a Guinness World Records title is an honour, but the true success lies in reaching people who often have no access to specialised joint care. At 70, I consider it my responsibility to give back meaningfully, and this initiative reflects our commitment to ensuring mobility, dignity, and better health for every citizen—regardless of their financial background. I am deeply grateful to our doctors, volunteers, and partners who worked tirelessly to make this historic milestone possible.”</i></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span>Launching the Pain Free Maharashtra campaign, he added,</span></i><br><i><span>“The true significance of this achievement lies in drawing attention to the joint health challenges faced by underserved communities. With Pain Free Maharashtra, we aim to build awareness, encourage early care and support people in maintaining their mobility and dignity. I am sincerely grateful to our doctors, volunteers and partners whose dedication has made this milestone possible.”</span></i></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>To mark his 70th birthday, Shri Madhusudan Agrawal has pledged ₹70 crore to be deployed to enhance healthcare access across rural Maharashtra. The funding will support expanded joint care services, improved diagnostic facilities, and mobility-related interventions for underserved communities. This commitment is set to significantly improve the quality of life for thousands suffering from chronic joint conditions. It underscores his long-standing dedication to social healthcare development.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>Ms. Sonia Ushirogochi</span></b><span>, Guinness World Records adjudicator from Japan, said,<i> “On behalf of Guinness World Records, I would like to congratulate Mamta Madhusudan Agrawal Memorial Foundation and Sanjeevani Mamta Hospital and Research Center on this remarkable achievement. Guinness World Records has always been proud to support and recognize initiatives that advance health—whether through preventive care, raising awareness, or promoting community wellbeing. I am honored to present this certificate today which exemplifies helping humanity and making the world a better, healthier place.”</i></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The Mamta &amp; Madhusudan Agrawal Foundation has strengthened community healthcare across Maharashtra through <b>214 free medical camps</b>, reaching <b>39,000+ people</b> with essential and often life-changing support.

Its interventions include subsidized joint replacements, cancer surgeries, cataract procedures, artificial limbs, and dialysis support. These services address critical medical gaps for economically weaker communities across Maharashtra. The Foundation’s impact reflects a sustained commitment to accessible and affordable healthcare.</span></p>

<title>AWS ProServe unveils ‘Artham’ at AWS re:Invent 2025 &amp; India’s first Small Language Model (SLM) for Capital Markets built by Raise Financial Services</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Artham,
     a 7-billion-parameter Small Language Model (SLM) trained
     exclusively on Indian Financial &amp; Capital Markets, was unveiled first
     time at AWS re:Invent 2025
 Built
     by Raise Financial Services and hosted in India, Artham already
     powers fuzz (https://askfuzz.ai/) and ScanX
     (https://scanx.trade/) with source-backed insights, real-time news and
     contextual understanding for Long-Term Investors, Finance and Capital
     Market Professionals
 Developed
     over 9 months by Raise AI, Artham uses a curated 70:30
     blend of public and proprietary Indian financial data and
     supports native tool-calling for secure access to real-time
     data and analytics


LAS VEGAS /
MUMBAI – December 5, 2025 : At its flagship
event - AWS re:Invent 2025 conference currently underway in Las Vegas, Amazon
Web Services (AWS) unveiled Artham - India’s first Small Language Model
(SLM) trained exclusively on Indian Financial &amp; Capital Markets and
built by Raise Financial Services. Raise is the company owning and operating
India’s fastest-growing stock trading platform Dhan, and AI-powered
financial markets research assistant fuzz. 

The announcement
was made in a keynote address by Dr. Swami Sivasubramanian,
Vice President, AWS Agentic AI, with Raise being showcased as a standout
example of how forward-thinking customers are building domain-specific AI
products on AWS. This event marks a rare recognition and milestone for Raise
Financial and the broader Indian fintech ecosystem for an Indian startup to
feature on re:Invest keynote stage on the global platform. Earlier, AWS
CEO Matt Garman in his keynote address introduced DevOps Agent (https://aws.amazon.com/devops-agent/)
recognising Dhan as an early customer and adopter of this platform
globally. 

Positioned as “The
Financial Brain, Built for India,” Artham is India’s first dedicated Small
Language Model (SLM) for capital markets. It is designed to understand the
structure, vocabulary and regulations of India’s capital markets, and to power
intelligent, context-aware financial experiences for serious investors,
traders, capital market enthusiasts as well as  financial professionals.

“AI in financial
services needs to be precise, explainable and deeply contextual to local
markets. With Artham, we are building an India-first financial AI
layer that strengthens fuzz and ScanX for serious investors and market participants,
while staying fully aligned with the responsibilities of operating regulated
platforms like Dhan as part of Raise Ecosystem.” said Pravin
Jadhav, Founder &amp; CEO, Raise Financial Services.

Built entirely in
India and hosted on cloud infrastructure located within the country, Artham has
been engineered to build causal relationships between events spanning Indian
companies, macro developments and their impact on the financial landscape,
specifically to help connect the dots between India’s vast financial data
points. It is tuned on Indian market data, regulatory content, company
disclosures and financial knowledge focused on India’s listed universe and its
ecosystem of participants, rather than generic global internet text.

Artham is a 7-billion-parameter
model that has been in development for around nine months, led
by Raise AI. The training corpus combines both public and proprietary data from
the Indian financial ecosystem; roughly 70% is public data
and 30% is proprietary. Over time, the share of proprietary data is
expected to increase as Raise deepens Artham’s coverage. Artham is also
built with native tool-calling capabilities, allowing it to securely invoke
internal data services and workflows, such as real-time market data, analytics
and retrieval systems, when responding to user queries.

“We
wanted a small, efficient model that we could tune deeply on Indian financial
data, evaluate rigorously and run with strong controls around data sovereignty,”
said Alok Pandey, Co-founder and CTO, Raise Financial Services. “Working
with a lean internal team at Raise AI has helped us move from experimentation
to production-grade financial AI in a very short time, with Artham now quietly
powering experiences across fuzz, ScanX and Dhan.”

The model is already
live in production across the Raise ecosystem. A share of real-time financial
news on ScanX and Dhan is generated using Artham, and
some conversations on fuzz are also powered by the model, helping
users uncover insights on Indian markets faster, with answers grounded in facts
and backed by verifiable insights in the form of source links,
official announcements and references.

Every experience
powered by Artham is built with clear guardrails: it offers information
and educational insights, not investment advice or recommendations. Raise
and its products do not provide investment advice, and users remain fully
responsible for their own investment decisions.

Artham is a
foundation ]]></description>

<title>Galebal Debuts in the Health and Wellness Industry, Welcoming the UK&amp;apos;s Flowmode Fitness to India</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, December 2025 : Galebal Enterprises, an India-based new-age conglomerate,
has debuted with a &quot;10-year Quality of Life Vision&quot;, marking its
long-term commitment to transform the health and wellness industry. The first
pillar of this vision is their partnership with the UK’s revolutionary fitness
brand, Flowmode Fitness. Galebal Enterprises is introducing the Flowmode’s
globally recognised Flow Theory to India, which is a centric approach on
activating one’s inner flow, the natural rhythm of energy sustained through
consistency in movement.

 Galebal
Enterprises promotes the idea that health and wellness in India are more of a
lifestyle choice. People are trying to adopt Western-style workout routines,
which is not apt, as the Indians have a unique body type and daily rhythms. We
hit our peak potential before burning calories. In Galebal&#039;s opinion, what
India truly needs is a revolutionary fitness movement that recognises all the
physiological aspects. In Galebal&#039;s view, Flowmode Fitness goes well with this vision. The
distinction of the Flowmode Fitness is to provide 24/7 personalised training
that fits each individual&#039;s body type, work pattern and lifestyle behaviour. It
does not force members into a specific routine; instead, it encourages members
to create their own fitness routine based on their lifestyle. It is committed
to creating a supportive community by offering fitness sessions tailored to our
members. 

The
women-first environment is one of the most significant aspects. Since Indian
women experience hesitation, discomfort, or judgment when entering conventional
gyms, the brand has created a safe space environment, based on the concept of
emotional and physical security. Its ‘Zero-Compromise’ and ‘Zero-Stare’
commitment makes women feel empowered, honoured and fully comfortable during
the workout sessions. Also, every member is being trained with high-tech
machines and equipment, imported from Precor and Ziva, to build a promising
future .

The
Senior spokesperson stated, “We believe that India is experiencing a silent
health and wellness epidemic. That is why people are being overworked and
emotionally strained. At Flowmode Fitness, we have redefined our approach for
India based on how we move, what we feel, and what our bodies genuinely need.
Our vision is to create environments where we feel motivated, supported, and
seen, guided by our personalised Flow Coaches, tailored plans, and globally
trusted equipment.”

Flowmode
Fitness is a major step towards the vision of Galebal, which is to create a
comprehensive health and wellness ecosystem in India. Their launch of the
first-ever franchise is in Preet Vihar, Delhi, India. The ease of access and a
well-connected environment strengthen their commitment to develop the health and
wellness facilities that are meant to support the modern urban lifestyle. 

The
Senior Spokesman said, &quot;At Galebal, there is only one value that drives every decision we make; that is
&#039;trust&#039;.&quot;It is at the core of every choice. In our journey towards
creating a &#039;Viksit Bharat&#039;,  we are expanding into multiple industries,
from health and wellness to pet care. We are dedicated to continuous growth
through the expansion of our current franchise network in India. So,
&quot;Before building smart cities, let&#039;s build the smartest version of
you.”  ]]></description>

<title>A New AI Assistant Steps In To Guide India’s Building Industry</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/a-new-ai-assistant-steps-in-to-guide-indias-building-industry</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/a-new-ai-assistant-steps-in-to-guide-indias-building-industry</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai :
A new digital assistant entered India’s building materials sector this week.
The tool, called MatGenie, made its first public appearance at the ZAK Expo in
Mumbai. Its creator, Aludecor, says the assistant can help architects,
developers, contractors and fabricators make faster and clearer material
decisions at a time when construction projects face constant pressure on cost,
safety and performance.

The
launch drew steady crowds at the expo as distinguished personalities and
visitors from different parts of the industry tried to understand how an AI
assistant could fit into their everyday work. Many asked if an app could really
guide someone through choices that often depend on site conditions, climate,
design rules and budget limits.

Saurav
Kabra, Director at Aludecor, said MatGenie aims to cut through confusion that
often surrounds material selection. “Every project must meet climate needs,
safety rules and performance targets,” he said at the launch. “The industry
faces these pressures every day. MatGenie aims to bring clarity and speed to
these decisions.”

The
tool works through simple prompts. A user describes a problem or project
condition, and MatGenie produces an explanation that connects material features
to real-world constraints. The app also allows comparisons across cladding
materials, insulation choices and façade systems. Its guidance relies on
building codes, fabrication know-how and basic architectural logic.

Visitors
at the expo tested the tool with questions that often slow down early-stage
planning. One architect asked which cladding material performs best near a
coastal site. Another asked how ACP panels differ from other façade systems
when long-term maintenance becomes a concern. Others explored questions about
thermal performance, acoustic outcomes and wind load effects.

MatGenie
produced step-by-step answers without heavy jargon. It explained trade-offs and
cited factors like climate exposure, fire rating classes, structural load paths
and cost ranges. Many users said they valued the way the app broke down a
problem into parts.

Several
senior industry voices also shared early reactions at the expo. 

Ar.
Prasanna Wategaonkar of HOSMAC India said the tool brings structure to material
decisions that often feel scattered. “Our industry waited for support that can
sort complex choices,” he said.

Vicky
Vora, a façade consultant with V3 Facade Design Studio, said the tool offers
clarity on material behavior, which he called essential for façade engineering.

Architects
Harsh Pote and Gaurav Sanghvi from Pentaspace said MatGenie can speed up
material exploration at the design stage and help teams base choices on
reasoning rather than assumptions. 

Ar
Gaurav Sanghavi and Ar Harsh Pote of Pentaspace, Mumbai based Architecture and
Design firm said the tool helps narrow the gap between design intent and
conditions at the job site. MatGenie can speed up material exploration at the
design stage and help teams base choices on reasoning rather than assumptions,
said Ar Sanghavi. 

What
sets MatGenie apart, according to Aludecor,
is its attempt to act as a neutral guide for the wider building materials
space. Although the company created it, the tool covers a wide range of
materials beyond ACP sheets. It answers questions about concrete, steel, tiles,
insulation types, cladding options and façade systems.

The
company also says the tool will remain in a continuous training mode. That
means MatGenie will evolve as new standards, materials and methods enter the
market. Aludecor calls it a contribution to the larger building materials
industry rather than a brand-exclusive product.

The
tool also aims to include every stakeholder. Architects can use it for design
logic. Fabricators can receive support on installation steps and safety norms.
Contractors can use it to check the feasibility of systems before committing to
them. Even homeowners or first-time buyers can ask about maintenance needs or
cost ranges while planning interiors or exteriors.

MatGenie
attempts to bring all this information into one simple chat interface. The
company says this reduces guesswork and encourages choices that support
compliance and long-term performance.

The
launch also reflects a broader shift. Digital tools in construction are no
longer limited to drawing software or project trackers. Around the world, AI
systems now help with energy models, structural analysis and lifecycle
optimization. MatGenie joins this trend with a focus on material intelligence.

Subash
Gaijes of Nippon Paints India said that MatGenie sets a new benchmark for how
the building materials ecosystem accesses knowledge, and this initiative from
Aludecor raises the digital maturity of the entire industry.

Similarly,
Prasanna Bhakre of PPG Paints India also mentioned that AI app like MatGenie
can speed up material exploration at  ]]></description>

<title>Tata AIA Premier SIP Bridges the Gap Between Mutual Fund Investing and Life Insurance</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/tata-aia-premier-sip-bridges-the-gap-between-mutual-fund-investing-and-life-insurance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Tata AIA Life Insurance offers an
innovative investment plan, the Tata AIA Premier SIP, which seamlessly blends
systematic investing with life and health insurance protection. With this
unique offering, individuals can grow their wealth steadily while ensuring the
financial well-being of their families.

Key Highlights

·      
The Tata AIA Premier SIP
combines mutual fund investment growth potential with life and health insurance
coverage to meet both investment and security needs.

·      
Ensures that 100% of the
premiums are invested toward fund growth, and policyholders can switch funds at
any time.

·      
Future premiums are waived when
the policyholder dies or becomes disabled, keeping the investment protected
without additional financial burden.

·      
Supports women&#039;s financial
growth and empowerment by giving 0.5% additional fund units on the first-year
premium.

Tata AIA Premier SIP, a combination of the
Tata AIA Smart SIP, a Non-participating, Unit-linked, Individual Life Insurance
Savings Plan (UIN: 110L174V01), and Tata AIA Health Buddy, a Non-participating,
Non-linked, Individual Health Product (UIN: 110N183V01,) is a great bridge
between mutual fund investing and life insurance. Investing in mutual funds
allows investors to grow their wealth by participating in the market, but they
do not provide any financial protection against life&#039;s uncertainties.
Alternatively, traditional life insurance does not offer market-linked growth,
but it does provide security. Through its ULIP
plan structure, Tata AIA Premier SIP offers market-linked returns along
with life cover and health benefits.

Tata AIA Premier SIP combines the benefits
of Tata AIA Smart SIP with Tata AIA Health Buddy. With them, you get a
comprehensive solution that covers wealth creation, asset protection, and
holistic well-being.

As a ULIP, it enables customers to invest
in top-performing, market-linked funds while enjoying life insurance coverage
under the same plan. By combining these advantages, individuals can
systematically create wealth, while also making sure their loved ones remain
protected in difficult times. The plan eliminates allocation charges, ensuring
every rupee of premiums is invested to maximise long-term wealth creation.

A zero allocation charge and unlimited fund
switch give policyholders complete transparency and control. They can change
their investment dynamically to adapt to changing market conditions or
financial goals without incurring extra fees. Upon death or disability, the
Waiver of Premium Benefit automatically waives all future premiums, protecting
your investment.

Moreover, Tata AIA Health Buddy offers
optional covers like Terminal Illness with Term Booster (TTB), Accidental Death
Benefit (ADB), and Accidental Total and Permanent Disability (ATPD). With these
features, your plan adapts to real-life contingencies and offers holistic
financial protection.

Apart from market-linked returns and
protection, Tata AIA Premier SIP includes health and wellness support, which
sets it apart. With teleconsultations, medical second opinions, and preventive
health check-ups, policyholders can stay proactive about their health. Plus,
customers get discounts on diagnostics, vaccinations, and medicines, making
healthcare management easier and more affordable.

A Smart Lady Benefit gives women
policyholders 0.5% extra fund units on their first-year premium (under Limited
and Regular Pay). The addition of this simple yet impactful feature will
facilitate the growth of wealth for women investors and help them achieve
greater financial independence.

After the initial lock-in period,
policyholders may access their funds through various withdrawal options, such
as the Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP), Chosen-rate Withdrawal Plan (CWP), or
Index-based Withdrawal Plan (IWP). With these smart methods, investors can
generate secondary income streams while keeping their core investments intact –
just like mutual funds but with insurance coverage.

This investment
plan is open to individuals aged 18 to 50 years, with flexible policy terms
up to 50 years. Depending on the customer&#039;s preference, Limited Pay (5 to 20
years) and Regular Pay (10 to 50 years) options are available.

Tata AIA Premier SIP offers tax benefits
under prevailing laws on both premiums paid and returns received, enabling
policyholders to enhance savings while building wealth over time.

With these benefits, Tata AIA Premier SIP serves
as a complete solution for customers who are seeking more than just traditional
investment and insurance products. In one convenient plan, you get the security
of life and health insurance and the growth potential of mutual funds.

Bengal, India :  Dibyajyoti Sarkar, an Indian martial artist and

World Records as the Guinness World Records Title Holder for the category:

“Most Full Extension Punches
in One Minute While Holding Two Eggs”

Sarkar received official confirmation of his achievement
from Guinness World Records via email on the evening of December 1, 2025.
The historic attempt took place on November 26, 2025, at the Gymnasium of
Friends’ Association, Krishnanagar Road, Barasat, West Bengal, India, in
the presence of distinguished expert witnesses and timekeepers during the
attempt. He was 23 years old at the time of the attempt.

Sarkar delivered an extraordinary, Record-breaking

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Monsoons in India bring their fair share of challenges for car owners, with heavy rains, unpredictable weather and sudden floods affecting nearly every region. In fact, over <a href="https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2023/Jul/06/over-90-per-centindian-cities-are-facing-waterlogging-and-flooding-problems-2592012.html">90% of Indian cities</a> face waterlogging and flooding problems during the monsoon season, making vehicle protection a major priority. According to a recent survey, <a href="https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2023/Jul/06/over-90-per-centindian-cities-are-facing-waterlogging-and-flooding-problems-2592012.html">68%</a> of respondents highlighted that these seasonal issues lead to significant vehicle wear and tear and related costs.</p>

<title>Maharashtra Takes Major Leap Towards Blockchain Governance with MoU Signed with Infraledger Labs</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai : The Maharashtra Institution for Transformation
(MITRA) has taken a major step toward implementing the Hon’ble Chief Minister
Devendra Fadnavis’ vision of a state-wide Asset Tokenization Framework, aimed
at unlocking nearly ₹50 trillion worth of public and private assets. In a
significant development, MITRA has entered into a strategic partnership with
Infraledger Labs (Venkateshwara Advisory Private Limited), a global blockchain
infrastructure company with operations across India, UAE, Singapore, and the U.S.,
and with more than $1 billion worth of real-world assets tokenized worldwide.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was
signed by Sunil Sharma, CEO, Infraledger Labs, and Aman Mittal, Joint CEO,
MITRA. The ceremony was graced by senior government and regulatory officials,
including Shree Praveen Pardeshi, Chief Economic Advisor to the Chief Minister,
Maharashtra &amp; CEO, MITRA, Executive Directors and General Managers from
SEBI ,Chairman of REITs/InvITs, as well as a World Bank delegation.

Under the MoU, both sides will collaborate to
pilot blockchain-based land registry solutions and tokenization of public
assets. The partnership covers designing secure asset registries, verification
frameworks, and data governance models, along with conducting technical
research and providing policy advisory to ensure alignment with central
financial authorities. The collaboration also includes developing digital
ledger systems aimed at improving transparency, enhancing revenue generation,
and upgrading citizen services across the state.

Through this initiative, MITRA aims to explore
how tokenization and digital workflows can help Maharashtra optimize revenue,
reduce systemic leakages, strengthen compliance, and expand financial access at
the district level. Maharashtra is now the first Indian state to commit to a
comprehensive blockchain and asset tokenization roadmap, aligning itself with
global technological trends in public governance. This initiative is expected
to accelerate asset monetization cycles, improve auditability of public
records, and prepare the state for future regulatory sandboxes and digital
governance reforms.

Speaking on the occasion, Sunil Sharma, CEO,
Infraledger Labs, said: “We are honored to partner with MITRA during this
transformative moment for Maharashtra. Tokenization is not just a technological
milestone—it is a framework to unlock capital, improve public services, and
build the next generation of digital governance. Our global experience in
tokenizing over $1 billion worth of assets will directly support Maharashtra’s
long-term vision.&quot;

<title>Asiania Logistika Officially Launches in India: Aims to Redefine India&amp;Russia&amp;China Trade Logistics</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/asiania-logistika-officially-launches-in-india-aims-to-redefine-india-russia-china-trade-logistics</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, 04 Dec 2025 : Asiania Logistika, an
international multimodal logistics provider with more than two decades of
freight experience, announced its official entry in the Indian market. Founded
by Tatyana Kulyabina and currently being led by Director Sergei Poliakov
globally, Asiania Logistika aims to bring its expertise in cross-border
logistics to support Indian manufacturers, importers, and exporters. Their
entry into the Indian market is well-timed because of the rapidly growing trade
flows between the three countries in the recent years.

In India, Managing Director Ajay Choudhary,
will lead the company’s local operations. He is an international logistics
professional with a long experience in the global freight, customs compliance,
and cross-border trade sectors. The initial goal of Asiania Logistika is to
solve some of the biggest challenges faced by the corridor, like unpredictable
freight costs, complex customs procedures, volatile transit duration, delayed
documentation, and limited visibility across long routes. The company’s biggest
asset is its fully-equipped teams and operational presence in the three
countries, integrating seamless door-to-door logistics through sea freight
(FCL/LCL), air freight, inland transport, multimodal transport, and last-mile
delivery.

Strengthening a High-Growth Trade Sector

Over the years, India and Russia have seen
significant trade growth, particularly in pharmaceutical, engineering goods,
machinery, textiles, chemicals, agro commodities, and metals. Russia’s exports
to India, including coal, fertilisers, minerals, industrial machinery, and wood
products, have been expanding at a strong rate.

At the same time, China continues to be one
of India’s biggest trade partners across automotive components, electronics,
consumer goods, and industrial machinery. The company is planning to leverage
the multimodal routes through International North-South Transport Corridor
(INSTC) as well to optimize its transit time and cost.

Speaking about the launch, Founder Tatyana
Kulyabina said that “Asiania Logistika is entering India at an important time
when India-Russia-China corridor needs transparent, reliable, and
professionally managed logistics partner.”

“We have built this company on a vision of
connecting businesses across borders through trust, efficiency and operational
excellence,” he added.

What Comes Next for India?

One of the biggest tasks that Asiania
Logistika is going to undertake in the next 12 to 18 months is to scale its
presence among major Indian trade hubs, onboard exporters from priority
industries, and strengthen its air and sea freight capacity. At this time, the
company already boasts of partnerships across major logistics gateways
including Mundra, Nhava Sheva, Chennai, and Kandla ports. It also has a strong
presence at Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai airprots.

“Our goal is to build a future-ready
logistics ecosystem in India, with strong compliance, clear documentation
processes and complete price transparency. With our own teams in Russia and
China, we offer total shipment control from the factory gate to the
destination” said Director Sergei Poliakov.

Ensuring Transparent Pricing and
Shipment Control

One of the things that sets Asiania
Logistika apart is its all-inclusive and transparent pricing model. This helps
the clients in understanding every milestone of the delivery and the upfront

countries which helps in simplifying cross-border regulatory processes. To
bring higher efficiency, Asiania Logistika is also prioritising digital
adoption, including real-time tracking, milestone visibility, digital
documentation and transparent cost breakdowns.

support, and direct partnerships with shipping lines and ports allows us to
provide a smooth, reliable, and predicable logistics experience to our
clients.”

He added that their goal is to ensure that
Indian exporters and importers enjoy the same reliability as they plan to
expand into these markets with no worry about facing logistical bottlenecks.

rewriting how cross-border trade happens between India, Russia, and China,” he
added.

<description><![CDATA[ Tadashi Chiba - Managing Director &amp;
CEO, Panasonic &amp; MS Dhoni.

National, 04 December 2025 : ITW Universe, one of the world’s most prominent sports,
entertainment, and media consulting firms, announced today that it has stitched
a partnership between former India captain and cricket icon MS Dhoni and
Panasonic Life Solutions India, one of India’s leading consumer electronics
companies. The partnership will see the cricketer endorse Panasonic’s latest
line of technologically advanced ACs, loaded with AI capabilities and other
smart features to provide superior and efficient cooling solutions. Keeping it
cool is something often associated with MS Dhoni as a cricketer and captain
because of his ability to remain calm under pressure in tense situations. 

ITW Universe, which works with leading
brands and major rightsholders in the high impact platforms of sports and
entertainment, including marquee properties such as the IPL, the ICC World Cup
and more, has previously worked with Dhoni on a variety of campaigns onboarding
him as the ambassador for multiple iconic brands. 

Mr Bhairav Shanth, Co-founder, ITW
Universe, said: “We are delighted to have
stitched this collaboration and look forward to seeing this partnership
flourish. Our philosophy at ITW Universe has always been to provide solutions
that significantly move the needle for our clients, and we have an illustrious
history of working with MSD - he is someone whose appeal and impact as an
ambassador is always spectacular.” 

Mr Dhiraj Sharma, Marketing Head of
Panasonic, said: “We are excited to have MS
Dhoni on board. He is an icon in the truest sense of the term and a part of
India’s sports and pop culture fabric, and the values he represents - trust,
reliability, efficiency, and adaptability - are the ones that, as a brand,
Panasonic always strives to uphold. It is a partnership that I believe will
find strong emotional resonance and establish Panasonic firmly as one of
India’s most admired consumer tech brands.” 

Commenting on his latest association, Mr
Mahendra Singh Dhoni shared: “It’s great to
join hands with a brand that reflects shared values like reliability, trust,
and a constant drive to improve. I have enjoyed working with the team at ITW
Universe and look forward to this latest journey and to see what path
Panasonic’s technology and innovative products chart in the future.”

In bringing the partnership to life, ITW’s
talent management vertical, ITW Influence, and ITW’s Integrated Marketing
Services (IMS) division helped map the attributes that best described Dhoni and
the key brand attributes of Panasonic to draw out the strategy for the brand
and facilitated the onboarding.

<p data-end="1471" data-start="1080">Organiser <strong data-end="1110" data-start="1090">Virendra Agrawal</strong> and Show Director <strong data-end="1149" data-start="1129">Rachna Choudhary</strong> shared that this year’s edition is themed <strong data-end="1222" data-start="1192">‘The Gateway to Bollywood’</strong>, emphasising the pageant’s commitment to bridging talented young women with mainstream entertainment opportunities. The theme aims to empower aspiring models from across the country with a direct pathway to the glamour and creative world of cinema.</p>
<p data-end="1960" data-start="1473">During the Jaipur auditions, participants between <strong data-end="1541" data-start="1523">17 to 28 years</strong> showcased their confidence, stage presence, and modelling skills. Dressed in a unified black one-piece dress code, the contestants walked the ramp with poise as they underwent various performance and personality assessment rounds.

<p data-end="3753" data-start="3412">With the growing recognition of Miss Urvashi across India, the organisers reaffirmed their commitment to offering genuine talent exposure, professional training, and opportunities beyond the conventional boundaries of beauty pageants.

<description><![CDATA[  “Magical Wallet” Poster out :   Jimmy Shergill, Sanjay Mishra &amp; 
Anchal GS Singh Come Together for a Mystical Varanasi Story, “In the film Magical Wallet, audiences will get to see a 2,000-year-old Varanasi.” Director 
The poster of the Hindi film Magical Wallet, starring  Jimmy 
Shergill, Sanjay Mishra &amp; Aanchal GS Singh and Ishtiyak Khan, was 
unveiled at Film Bazaar in Goa in the presence of director Nitin N 
Kushwaha, Excutive  producer Hifazat Ali and co-producer Gaurav Daagar. 
Industry delegates and film enthusiasts gathered to witness the first 
look of this intriguing Varanasi-based story, and the response at the 
venue was warm and enthusiastic. Varanasi has become a favourite
 backdrop for Hindi cinema in recent years, and Sanjay Mishra’s earlier 
films shot in the city have received strong appreciation from audiences.
 Continuing this connection, Magical Wallet brings yet another 
compelling narrative set against the spiritual and atmospheric charm of 
Varanasi. The announcement poster, revealed at Film Bazaar, features 
Sanjay Mishra standing on the steps of the Varanasi ghats, holding a 
wallet overflowing with currency notes. Behind him, Jimmy Shergill and 
Aanchal GS Singh are seen rushing toward him, while Ishtiyak Khan 
appears with a confused and questioning expression. The Ganga, the 
ancient temples, and the sunset tones in the background add a mystical 
depth to the poster, making it a standout moment at the even. Director
 Nitin N Kushwaha, earlier worked extensively in various VFX and 
filmmaking before stepping into direction, shared his excitement, 
saying, “For me, Magical Wallet is more than a film—it is an experience 
shaped by Varanasi itself. In the film  audiences will get to see 2,000-year-old Varanasi. The
 city becomes a character, its energy flows through the story, and its 
spirit adds depth to every moment. Launching our poster at Film Bazaar 
is a very special milestone for us.”Produced by Naresh &amp; 
Brothers and co-produced by Gaurav Daagar, Kalakaars entertainment, 
movie Magical Wallet blends emotion, mystery and the cultural soul of 
Varanasi in a way that promises to offer audiences a refreshing 
cinematic journey. The unveiling at Film Bazaar marks the film’s first 
official step into the public eye and has already sparked curiosity 
among industry members present at the event. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Zen Crafart unveils a powerful reimagining of femininity in Mumbai from
December 2–8, 2025

Mumbai, India | December 3, 2025 : Zen Crafart a young and committed art company
in India, proudly announces the opening of SACRED GESTURES, a
striking solo exhibition by acclaimed contemporary
artist Viveek Sharma, inaugurated today by renowned novelist, author and
columnist Shobhaa De at Jehangir Art Gallery, Kala Ghoda,
Mumbai.

The exhibition will run from 2–8 December 2025,
daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The Mumbai showcase follows the
successful completion of Sharma’s New Delhi exhibition Silence Please,
which received exceptional appreciation from art patrons, collectors and
cultural influencers. With this exhibition Zen Crafart, further
marks an important moment in its commitment to showcasing powerful voices
shaping India’s artistic landscape.

Sacred Gestures presents
a visually compelling body of work that redefines femininity through a dynamic
blend of traditional references and contemporary visual language. Drawing from
Lavani-inspired movement, divine feminine symbolism, and iconic motifs from
popular culture, Sharma creates vivid, emotionally charged works marked by his
signature dramatic lighting, saturated hues, and meticulous detail. The
exhibition celebrates realism, rhythm, sensuality, mythology, and the enduring
force of feminine energy.

Speaking at the opening, Chief Guest of
the event- Ms. Shobhaa De, shares her admiration for Viveek
Sharma’s artistic evolution, she adds: “Viveek’s artistic journey is one
I have followed with admiration for many years. His new body of work, Sacred
Gestures, honours the feminine with a tenderness and strength that deeply
resonates with me. Viveek’s women are not mere subjects — they are powerful
presences, embodiments of resilience, grace, and inner fire. As someone who has
long championed women’s voices and empowerment, I find his portrayal a powerful
testament to his maturity and intuition. Each work resonates with emotion,
discipline, and quiet strength. It is a joy and a privilege to support an
artist whose voice continues to deepen and inspire.”

Artist Viveek Sharma
continues to push the boundaries of contemporary Indian art, bringing together
emotion, form, and storytelling with remarkable mastery. Sharing his
excitement, Rashmin Majithia, Partner at Zen Crafart LLP, says: “For
many years, the Zen Group has been my family’s way of giving back to society
through creative and cultural initiatives such as Coconut Media Box, Zen Music
and Zen Opus. ZenCrafart’s association with Viveek Sharma has been since quite
some time and a meaningful one, and we have had the privilege of supporting his
artistic journey over the years. After a successful presentation of Silence
Please at Delhi, we are really excited to bring this show for our Mumbai
audiences. 

According to a 2023–24 report, modern artists continue
to dominate sales, while the pre-modern and contemporary segments are
witnessing significant growth at approximately 31.5 percent and 31.8 percent.
Rising interest in mid-career and emerging artists indicates a maturing market
that balances legacy and innovation. The price bracket between ₹5 lakh and ₹25
lakh remains the fastest-growing collector segment, signalling expanded
participation and increased confidence.

Commenting on this shift, Majithia explains, “The
Indian art market continues to mature, supported by cultural significance,
consistent price performance, and growing collector confidence. Younger
collectors, design-forward buyers, corporate patrons, and premium gifting
audiences are bringing fresh energy, driving demand for sculptures,
installations, and limited editions. The market is evolving into a more diverse
and immersive space.”

About Zen Crafart

Zen Crafart LLP is a progressive art promotion
platform dedicated to elevating Indian visual culture. Founded on Rashmin
Majithia’s long-standing commitment to the arts, the organisation supports both
emerging and established artists by offering visibility, patronage, and
meaningful engagement across India’s cultural landscape.

About Viveek Sharma

Viveek Sharma’s practice explores the emotional,
social and philosophical dimensions of contemporary Indian life. His
narratives—deeply rooted in the modern urban experience—address themes of
identity, duality, belonging, and cultural transition. Recognised for his
dramatic lighting, narrative depth, and painterly precision, Sharma stands as a
significant voice in Indian contemporary art.

<description><![CDATA[ It’s Spotlight, an
AI-driven experiential DOOH innovator, has launched India’s first
gesture-powered concert experience zones, introducing a groundbreaking shift in
how audiences engage with live events. Debuting during spiritual musician
Radhika Das’s inaugural India tour in Chandigarh, the activation showcased how
technology, smart data, and immersive digital design can transform devotional
gatherings into highly interactive and emotionally resonant experiences.

The initiative
offered thousands of attendees a new way to connect with the music and
atmosphere, marking a defining moment where traditional devotion met
next-generation digital innovation. At the venue, It’s Spotlight installed
multiple experiential zones designed to elevate audience participation. The
Gesture-Powered Music Wall, the first of its kind in India that allowed
attendees to trigger visual and audio elements using simple hand movements,
creating a personal and meditative interaction with the performance. A
dedicated interactive playlist zone enabled fans to explore music from Radhika
Das’s journey, extending the concert experience beyond the venue with a
personalized digital touch. Additional activity zones encouraged reflection,
expression, and community involvement, deepening the collective spiritual
energy of the gathering.

To add measurable
value to the experience, It’s Spotlight implemented a custom survey system to
capture real-time audience insights, including behavioral patterns,
preferences, and emotional responses. These findings provide a deeper
understanding of how attendees engage with devotional music and interactive
environments, guiding the development of more personalized and emotionally
aligned enhanced experiences in the future.

Virkaran Singh,
Founder of It’s Spotlight, said,
“Live experiences reach their full potential when technology and smart data
work in harmony. Our gesture-powered zones did more than engage the audience,
they revealed how people interact, respond, and connect on a deeper level.
These insights empower us to continuously refine and elevate future
experiences, making them more intuitive, immersive, and emotionally resonant.
At It’s Spotlight, we are building a future where every DOOH experience evolves
with the audience, becoming smarter, more personal, and truly driven by
real-time intelligence.”

<title>Piramal Realty Delivers Phase 1 of Piramal Revanta, Marking a Significant Milestone in Mulund’s Residential Landscape</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/piramal-realty-delivers-phase-1-of-piramal-revanta-marking-a-significant-milestone-in-mulunds-residential-landscape</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/piramal-realty-delivers-phase-1-of-piramal-revanta-marking-a-significant-milestone-in-mulunds-residential-landscape</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 03 Dec, 2025 Mumbai: At
the edge of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, where Mulund’s skyline meets the
greens of Mumbai’s largest urban forest, Piramal Realty has completed Phase 1
of Piramal Revanta, its 12-acre residential development. With Tower 4 receiving
its Occupation Certificate, all four towers in the first phase now stand
delivered — a milestone that moves the project from construction to community.

With over 1,100 homes delivered, Piramal Revanta is
steadily evolving into an active residential neighbourhood at the city’s
eastern edge. The developer has also delivered Club RASA, a ~20,000 sq.ft.
clubhouse designed around wellness and social engagement. Alongside it, the
podium-top amenities including a swimming pool, children’s play zones, an
amphitheatre &amp; landscaped courts are now operational.

“This milestone reflects the trust of our residents
and our commitment to bringing the design vision to life at Piramal Revanta,”
said Abhijeet Maheshwari, CEO, Piramal Realty.

With Phase 1 complete, the development now shifts
focus to the recently launched Towers 5 and 6, part of Phase 2 (Vana). This
upcoming phase will also introduce Club RAHA (~10,000 sq.ft.), the
development’s second clubhouse, along with ground-level amenities, adding
another layer to the precinct’s evolving social and residential fabric.

Strategically located, Piramal Revanta overlooks the
expansive ~25,000 acres of Sanjay Gandhi National Park and is seamlessly
connected via the Eastern Express Highway, LBS Road, the upcoming
Goregaon–Mulund Link Road (GMLR), and emerging metro networks. The 12-acre
development integrates nature, accessibility, and modern infrastructure —

<description><![CDATA[ December 03, INDIA : The
tournament culminated in 840 golfers from across the globe playing for ten
spots each month from May to October to secure a position in the year end
finale fought out between the 60 qualifiers. 

340 guests were entertained post the golf tournament
this year with entertainment and a fantastic food and beverage offering. 

This year’s finale saw the Golfshire layout bare its
teeth and the scoring was surprisingly low. Local knowledge was paramount and
as such it was not surprising to see two members of the Golfshire Club finish
first and second. 

The eventual winner with 39 points was four time Club
Champion at Golfshire, Mr David D’Souza who had just come off a win on the AVT
Tour in Mumbai two weeks earlier. D’Souza won a trip to Spain with four rounds
of golf at some of Spain’s finest golf courses as well as first class
accommodation. 

Finishing runner up with 34 points was Abhilash Nair
who took home a trip to Dubai to play golf at the Al Hamra golf course for two
days with accommodation on site.

In third place was Anantha Sridhar Reddy with 33
points, who took home an array of Bose Home Sound Systems units. 

The Prestige Masters Series was formed eleven years
ago by Mr Faiz Rezwan from the Prestige Group and is one of India’s biggest
open amateur events attracting golfers from as far and wide as the USA, Europe,
Korea and Australia. 

In 2026 the event will begin in May and go through to
November.  ]]></description>

<title>Kloudfuse 3.5 Unifies AI and Traditional Observability While Achieving Federal Security Compliance</title>

<description><![CDATA[  One
platform for complete visibility, control, and AI-ready operations

BENGALURU, India, December 03, 2025 : As enterprises
race to deploy AI applications, they&#039;re discovering that their observability
infrastructure can&#039;t keep pace. Traditional monitoring tools built for
cloud-native workloads don&#039;t understand LLM behavior, token consumption, or
prompt-response patterns. Adding AI-specific monitoring creates new silos.
Observability costs spiral unpredictably, and compliance becomes a maze of
fragmented data policies across disconnected platforms.

Kloudfuse
today launched Kloudfuse 3.5 to solve this fragmentation. The unified
observability platform introduces Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for
natural language queries, FIPS 140-2/3 validated cryptographic modules for
regulated industries, and comprehensive platform engineering controls,
delivering complete visibility across traditional and AI workloads without
separate tools or unpredictable costs.

&quot;The observability industry created this problem
by treating every new technology as a separate product,&quot; said Ashish
Hanwadikar, CTO and Co-Founder of Kloudfuse. &quot;We took the opposite
approach: integrate LLM telemetry directly into APM using OpenTelemetry
standards. Platform teams get the same operational control over AI workloads as
traditional services. Our MCP server unifies signals across metrics, logs,
traces, and events for comprehensive insights through natural language queries,
one platform, one instrumentation approach, predictable costs.&quot;

Since launching Kloudfuse 3.0 in November 2024,
Kloudfuse has shipped over 50 major capabilities, proving that unified
observability doesn&#039;t require fragmented tools, vendor lock-in, or choosing
between AI capabilities and cost control.

AI-Native Observability: Natural Language Queries Meet
LLM Monitoring

Kloudfuse 3.5 introduces  natural
language access to observability data through the Model Context Protocol.
Instead of constructing complex queries or navigating multiple dashboards,
engineers can ask questions in plain language: &quot;Show me services with
elevated error rates in the last hour,&quot; or &quot;Which deployments caused
memory spikes today?&quot; The MCP server translates these requests into
FuseQL, queries across metrics, logs, and traces, and returns comprehensive
insights linking application behavior to infrastructure impact.

Platform teams can leverage this for automated
workflows, building agents that trigger incident responses, analyze capacity
trends, or identify cost anomalies. The standards-based implementation works
across LLM providers, avoiding vendor lock-in at the AI layer just as OpenTelemetry
avoids it at the observability layer.

Kloudfuse 3.5 also integrates
LLM monitoring directly into APM.. It tracks prompt and completion tokens
across providers, monitors model latency and error rates, and correlates AI
requests with backend service performance, all through unified OpenTelemetry
instrumentation. Teams deploying AI applications get full-stack visibility
without adding separate monitoring tools or duplicate agents.

 

Federal Security Certifications for Regulated
Industries

&quot;For enterprises in regulated sectors, FIPS
validation isn&#039;t optional, it&#039;s contractually required,&quot; said Pankaj
Thakkar, CEO and Co-Founder of Kloudfuse. &quot;Major observability vendors
haven&#039;t pursued these certifications, leaving enterprises choosing between
comprehensive monitoring and compliance requirements. Kloudfuse 3.5 eliminates
that trade-off.&quot;

Kloudfuse 3.5 implements
FIPS 140-2/3 validated cryptographic modules across data
ingestion, storage, queries, and API access. Building on FIPS validation, the
platform establishes a clear FedRAMP authorization pathway with NIST 800-53
security controls and automated compliance reporting. Combined with VPC
deployment, organizations retain complete data sovereignty, as observability
data never leaves customer infrastructure.

&quot;At Zscaler&#039;s scale, observability must be both
robust and compliant,&quot; said Kishore Thakur, Senior Director, Cloud
Platform Engineering at Zscaler. &quot;Kloudfuse handles our massive data
volumes while meeting FIPS 140-2 compliance and FedRAMP pathway requirements.
For enterprises with strict compliance needs, this combination of flexibility,
security, and innovation is exceptional.&quot;

 

Data Governance: Managing Access and Compliance

Enterprise data governance requires more than
encryption. It demands control over who accesses what data, how long it&#039;s
retained, and how changes are tracked. Kloudfuse 3.5 delivers comprehensive
data governance across all telemetry streams with data scrubbing that lets
teams preview records before deletion, apply filters targeting specific data,
and maintain audit trails for GDPR, HIPAA, and internal compliance
requirements.

Stream-specific
RBAC and identity management implement granular access control through
labels a ]]></description>

The standards-based implementation works across LLM providers, avoiding vendor lock-in at the AI layer just as OpenTelemetry avoids it at the observability layer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN">Kloudfuse 3.5 also <a href="https://www.kloudfuse.com/blog/ai-monitoring-built-native-not-bolted-on?utm_source=pressrelease&amp;utm_medium=pressrelease&amp;utm_campaign=kloudfuse3.5&amp;utm_id=kloudfuse3.5">integrates LLM monitoring directly into APM</a>.. It tracks prompt and completion tokens across providers, monitors model latency and error rates, and correlates AI requests with backend service performance, all through unified OpenTelemetry instrumentation. Teams deploying AI applications get full-stack visibility without adding separate monitoring tools or duplicate agents.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-IN">Federal Security Certifications for Regulated Industries</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN">"For enterprises in regulated sectors, FIPS validation isn't optional, it's contractually required," said Pankaj Thakkar, CEO and Co-Founder of Kloudfuse. "Major observability vendors haven't pursued these certifications, leaving enterprises choosing between comprehensive monitoring and compliance requirements. Kloudfuse 3.5 eliminates that trade-off."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN">Kloudfuse 3.5 <a href="https://www.kloudfuse.com/blog/achieving-fips-validation-for-regulated-enterprises?utm_source=pressrelease&amp;utm_medium=pressrelease&amp;utm_campaign=kloudfuse3.5&amp;utm_id=kloudfuse3.5">implements FIPS 140-2/3 validated cryptographic modules</a><u> </u>across data ingestion, storage, queries, and API access. Building on FIPS validation, the platform establishes a clear FedRAMP authorization pathway with NIST 800-53 security controls and automated compliance reporting. Combined with VPC deployment, organizations retain complete data sovereignty, as observability data never leaves customer infrastructure.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-IN">"At Zscaler's scale, observability must be both robust and compliant," said Kishore Thakur, Senior Director, Cloud Platform Engineering at Zscaler.

<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
02 Dec,2025  :  Ardent Privacy, an end to end privacy technology solutions
provider, today announced the launch of TurtleShield 4.0, the latest version of
its flagship privacy and data security automation platform. The release comes
at a critical moment as organizations seek to operationalize the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA)
and automate compliance. 

Ardent
Privacy is supporting leading enterprises in India for over 3 years such as
HDFC Bank, Anchanto,  HPCL  and others 
reinforcing its position as a 
trusted provider of security and privacy automation solutions for India.

Understanding the
DPDPA: India’s New-Age Privacy Law

The
Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), passed in 2023 and being enforced
in phases starting Nov 13, 2025, marks India’s first comprehensive data
protection framework. The law governs how organizations collect, process,
store, and handle personal data of Indian citizens. The Act introduces
significant financial penalties, with fines up to ₹250 crore for
non-compliance, improper consent mechanisms, or failure to implement security
safeguards.

Operationalizing DPDPA:
The Challenge

As
organizations prepare for DPDPA compliance, moving from regulatory awareness to
actionable  operational technology and
automation has become a significant priority. Operationalization requires
translating legal obligations into repeatable processes across departments,
including:

●       
Conducting Privacy Impact assessments ensuring
organizationwide accountability and maintaining unified compliance posture

●       
Automated Data
Discovery (Data Bill of Materials) and Classification
of personal data to enabling Data Principal Rights such as right to know, right
to erasure 

●       
Unified Consent Management for lawful consent
and purpose for data collection 

●       
Establish data retention, deletion mechanisms
aligned to legal requirements 

●       
Implement Data Breach Management for
preparedness to respond 

Organizations
are facing challenges due to lack of personal data inventory (DBoM - Data Bill
of Material), fragmented processes, manual assessments, and lack of
automation.Operationalizing DPDPA is not just about meeting regulatory
requirements, it is about embedding privacy into business operations to reduce
risk and ensure consistent compliance.

“We
are really happy to make a new platform available today to both Indian and  global enterprises to meet unique
requirements of DPDPA” said Sameer Ahirrao, CEO of Ardent Privacy. “TurtleShield”  is built on the strong foundation of most
efficient data discovery capabilities and implementing a Data Bill of Materials
for enterprise data which is essential to meet end-to-end privacy compliance
requirements. Along with collecting and storing the consent, it needs to be
implemented throughout the data life cycle where TurtleShield helps immensely.

How
to operationalize DPDPA with TurtleShield with six steps

(© 2025 Ardent Privacy. All rights reserved)

TurtleShield
new Features and Enhancements:

With
TurtleShield 4.0, Ardent Privacy is enabling enterprises to operationalize
DPDPA end-to-end through a unified automation platform. New features include:

●       
Enhanced Support for India’s DPDPA Compliance

TurtleShield 4.0 tailored specifically for
India’s DPDPA. The platform now provides updated DPDPA-aligned templates,
workflows, and assessment structures to help Indian organizations
operationalize obligations such as consent management, data principal rights,
DPIAs, and lawful processing.

●     
Common Control Framework (CCF)

With CCF, responses from previously completed
assessments are auto-filled across templates with similar questions, reducing
redundancy and supporting compliance across jurisdictions. Users can also
manually adjust imported responses where necessary, ensuring both consistency
and flexibility. This helps business owners avoid repetitive work and saves
significant time by consolidating similar controls across multiple regulations.

●       
AI Governance Capabilities 

○     
Data Lineage:
Track and monitor the flow of sensitive data across systems to ensure
governance and accountability.

○     
Sensitive Data Monitoring for AI:
Detects and manages sensitive data used in AI processes, minimizing risks of
non-compliance or misuse.

●     
Revamped Compliance Dashboard

A completely redesigned dashboard delivers
real-time visibility into compliance by framework, risk levels, and assessment
stages. The enhanced interface provides detailed insights at both the
departmental and user levels, representing a significant upgrade from version
3.0.

●     
Template Gallery and Global Question Library

Privacy Automation introduces an improved
template gallery with a premium template upload feature and a Global Question
Library in TurtleShield 4.0 version. Users can import ]]></description>

<title>TechBiz9: How a Father–Son Duo Built a Rising Hindi Tech Platform from Scratch</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/techbiz9-how-a-fatherson-duo-built-a-rising-hindi-tech-platform-from-scratch</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/techbiz9-how-a-fatherson-duo-built-a-rising-hindi-tech-platform-from-scratch</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The story of how a simple idea
evolved into entrepreneurship and grew into the Hindi tech platform TechBiz9 is
fascinating because it didn’t start as an idea at all. Rupesh Jain, a mutual
fund distributor for twenty years, often attributed his success to mere luck.
Although his profession was in finance, his genuine interest always leaned
toward technology. He observed a simple truth: most of the tech news
circulating in his community was either too complicated, delayed, or available
only in English.

One day, while discussing this
with his son Ronak, he casually asked, “Why don’t we create a Hindi tech
website that explains everything clearly?” That question planted the first
seed. Rupesh had no knowledge of technology and had never attempted to create a
website before. Still, he kept the idea to himself and eventually took small
step…buying a domain, learning about hosting, and understanding basic website
management. It wasn’t perfect, but all genuine beginnings are imperfect,
uncertain, and full of hope. He didn’t envision creating a massive media house;
he simply wanted to build a place where Hindi speakers could find simple and
timely tech news.

Things changed when Ronak Jain
stepped in and took charge. A young man with a strong curiosity about
technology, Ronak brought the website to life in an unconventional yet
determined way. He began by planning content, keeping up with daily tech
updates, coordinating with writers, and learning how news websites operate. For
Ronak, TechBiz9 wasn’t just a side project. Despite limited experience, he
treated it as something personal —

something
he wanted to see grow every day. He ensured the platform maintained a friendly
tone, simple language, and timely updates. Over time, his consistent efforts
helped TechBiz9 evolve from an aspiring blog into a trusted space readers could
trust.

The Team Behind the Work

The journey, of course, wasn’t
just about a father and son. All team members including writers, editors, and
support staff worked hard and remained patient. When news broke late at night,
someone always stayed awake to cover it. On mornings when multiple launches
occurred simultaneously, the team still managed to handle them all. Whenever
the website needed updates or adjustments, someone always stepped forward.
Every article on TechBiz9 bears the mark of genuine human effort, which is one
of the reasons readers connect with it so deeply.

Where TechBiz9 Stands Today

Six months may seem like a
short period, but for TechBiz9, this time has been intense, challenging, and incredibly
rewarding. Today, the website covers a wide range of topics, including mobile
launches, app updates, laptops, smartwatches, gadgets, AI trends, and other
significant tech developments, all presented in clear, easy-to-understand
Hindi.

TechBiz9 is more than just a
website; it embodies a father’s vision, a son’s determination, and a team’s
hard work. The platform is the result of late-night efforts, countless
revisions, small victories, and a shared belief that Hindi readers deserve
better, faster, and clearer technology information. What began as a simple idea
has now evolved into a thriving Hindi tech platform with strong roots and a
promising future.

The Road Ahead

Looking ahead, TechBiz9 is
preparing to expand beyond mobiles and gadgets. The team is currently
developing a dedicated section focused on machinery, industrial technology, and
artificial intelligence. This will include coverage of industrial automation
equipment, smart manufacturing machines, and easy-to-understand AI guides for
everyday readers. The goal is to help Hindi readers stay informed not only
about consumer technology but also about the broader technological changes
shaping industries, factories, businesses, and the digital world. This next
phase will position TechBiz9 as a future-ready platform capable of explaining
complex subjects such as machinery, robotics, and artificial intelligence in
simple, relatable Hindi.

<title>Automoto Launches Inspekt AI to Build India’s Buyer&amp;First Trust Layer in the USD 36bn Used&amp;Car Market</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, India — 02 December 2025 : Automoto, the Bengaluru -based mobility startup focused on
customer-first innovation, today announced the launch of Inspekt AI,
an AI-powered, buyer-centric vehicle inspection platform designed to bring
transparency, trust, and intelligence to India’s rapidly growing used-car
ecosystem.

India’s used-car market, valued at over USD 36
billion and projected to exceed USD 70–100 billion in
the coming years, now outsells new cars and is expanding at well over double-digit
CAGR. Yet, despite this momentum, buyers continue to face significant trust
gaps ranging from incomplete vehicle history to unclear mechanical condition
and inconsistent inspection standards.

While large players like Spinny and Cars24 have
streamlined seller operations, the buyer’s side of the transaction
remains underserved. Inspekt AI was built specifically to solve this.

InspektAI: A New Standard for Buyer Protection

Inspekt AI combines AI-assisted diagnostics with
expert inspections to provide buyers with unbiased, platform-agnostic
vehicle assessments, regardless of where they are purchasing marketplaces,
dealers, or individual sellers.

Key capabilities include:

 


 AI-augmented
     damage and anomaly detection
 Deep
     mechanical &amp; structural health reports
 Easy-to-understand
     risk summaries and purchase recommendations
 Completely
     independent, non-inventory model ensuring zero conflict of interest

“From day one, Automoto was built to eliminate
customer compromise,” said Sreeraj PV, Founder &amp; CEO of Automoto. “With
Inspekt AI, we’re bringing a neutral, AI-backed trust layer to the buyer
something the market has needed for years. Our goal is simple: empower buyers
with clarity, confidence, and control.”

Launch &amp; Roadmap

Inspekt AI is now live for bookings in
Bengaluru, with plans to expand to major metros in the coming quarters.
Automoto is also exploring partnerships with banks, NBFCs, insurers,
and mobility platforms to integrate Inspekt AI as an underwriting and
risk-assessment layer.

About Automoto

Automoto is a customer-obsessed automotive startup
dedicated to bringing transparency and intelligence to India’s mobility
landscape. Inspekt AI is its flagship buyer-first inspection platform, designed
to set a new benchmark for trust in the used-car ecosystem.

<description><![CDATA[  

New Delhi, December 2nd, 2025 : In a landmark initiative to promote inclusive financial security
for Indian families, ICICI Prudential Pension Funds Management Company
Ltd. (ICICI PFM) announced the launch of its latest offering under the
National Pension System (NPS), &#039;My Family My Future&#039;. The new
scheme was unveiled during the NPS Diwas Conference on ‘Inclusive
Pensions, Innovative Solutions: Strengthening Retirement Security in India’
organised by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority
(PFRDA), in the august presence of Union Finance Minister Smt.
Nirmala Sitharaman.

Designed especially for women, homemakers, and
parents, this pioneering pension solution under the Multiple Scheme
Framework (MSF) aims to empower families to build long-term, disciplined
savings that secure their loved ones’ future milestones, from education and
marriage.

Empowering Families through Financial Discipline

At the launch, Mr Sumit Mohindra, CEO of
ICICI PFM, highlighted the vision behind the initiative:

“My Family My Future is more than just a pension
plan; it&#039;s a step towards empowering women and families to take control of their
financial destiny. It encourages disciplined savings, offers flexibility
through smart asset allocation, and ensures a sustainable income stream for the
family&#039;s future.&quot;

This innovative scheme bridges the gap between
traditional savings instruments and modern investment needs by combining market-linked
growth with long-term financial stability under the trusted NPS
framework.

Smart Asset Allocation for Growth and Stability

The My Family My Future scheme offers a diversified
mix of asset classes designed to balance growth and safety:


 Equity: 50–85%
 Debt: Up to 50%
 Alternate
     Assets: Up to 5%
 Money
     Market Instruments: Up to 10%

This balanced allocation offers the opportunity
for inflation-beating returns while maintaining prudent
risk management, enabling families to grow their wealth with confidence.

Key Features and Highlights


 Tailored
     for women, homemakers, and parents seeking a
     secure second income post-vesting.
 Vesting
     period: 15 years or until age 60 (whichever is
     earlier).
 Flexible
     withdrawal: Allowed post-vesting, at age 60,
     or upon retirement.
 Switching
     options: Flexibility to move between schemes
     after vesting.
 Low-cost
     and transparent structure: Fund management
     fees and distribution charges capped at 0.30%.
 Regulatory
     oversight: Managed under PFRDA guidelines,
     ensuring strong governance and transparency.


 

Championing Women’s Financial Empowerment

The scheme&#039;s distinct women-centric design recognises
the role of mothers and homemakers as financial anchors of Indian households.
By encouraging small, consistent investments, it enables women to build
financial independence and long-term security for their families.

<title>Ramkumar Sankarapandian Makes Major Entry Into India’s Textile Sector With Strategic Surat Acquisitions</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/ramkumar-sankarapandian-makes-major-entry-into-indias-textile-sector-with-strategic-surat-acquisitions</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi : India’s textile sector is witnessing a significant
development as a new wave of consolidation begins in Surat, the country’s
largest textile manufacturing hub. Market sources confirm that a major
investment move is underway, marked by the acquisition of more than eight
textile manufacturing companies in the city. The combined output of these units
is estimated to cover nearly 0.8 percent of the national textile market,
signalling one of the most notable expansion steps in the sector this year.

The acquisitions have already created a ripple effect across Surat’s
wholesale markets. Traders say the impact is visible in early shifts in demand,
competitive pricing, and supply-chain expectations. Analysts describe the
development as a “clear disruption” led by a new entrant with significant
financial strength and long-term intent. Early assessments suggest that this
move could alter competitive dynamics, especially for mid-sized textile
producers.

Industry sources add that negotiations are now progressing for the
acquisition of multiple large-scale fabric manufacturing units, which would
further expand the footprint created by the recent Surat purchases. In
parallel, the investor is reportedly exploring extensive land procurement for
cotton cultivation, hinting at a fully integrated value chain that spans raw
materials, production, and distribution. Such a model, if executed, could
reshape cost efficiencies and manufacturing capabilities in the region.

The investment push is being led by Ramkumar Sankarapandian, Founder
and CEO of Qpay and SpaceQ. Known for steering Qpay’s expansion across
international markets and shaping SpaceQ’s progress in the space-technology
domain, Ramkumar is now directing his strategic vision toward textiles. His
entry has attracted industry-wide attention due to his track record of scaling
industries with technology, operational discipline, and global networks. Sector
analysts say his involvement signals a long-term transformation. One expert
noted, “Ramkumar is not entering for a marginal presence. His strategy reflects
the foundation of a future textile empire.”

With more transactions expected in the coming months, the textile
industry is watching closely as this expansion unfolds, anticipating broader
shifts in manufacturing capacities, supply chains, and market competitiveness
across India.

<title>Ahmedabad 2030: The Moment That Could Change the City Forever</title>

<description><![CDATA[ On 15 October 2025, the
Commonwealth Games Federation formally confirmed that Ahmedabad will host the 2030
Commonwealth Games. The confirmation has already altered the development
direction of the city, with investors, developers and hospitality operators
preparing for one of the largest coordinated infrastructure expansions in
Ahmedabad’s recent history. The anticipation is not speculative. Global
research on similar events shows how cities experience structural economic
shifts when long-term investments align with major sports tournaments.

Evidence from the London 2012
Olympics is one of the strongest indicators of what Ahmedabad may be
entering. In the study The Impact of the London Olympics Announcement on
Property Prices, authored by Stephen Gibbons, Teemu Lyytikäinen and
Henry Overman, and released through the Spatial Economics Research
Centre Discussion Paper Series in 2010, researchers found that properties
around the Olympic Park experienced 2.1 percent to 3.3 percent immediate
price growth after the announcement. Additional long-term analysis by the Research
and Analytics Division of Lloyds Banking Group in 2022 reported that
Waltham Forest, one of the Olympic boroughs, recorded a 122 percent rise in
house prices over ten years, compared with 61 percent across Greater
London. These findings established that major events create hyper-local
corridors of appreciation linked directly to infrastructure and connectivity
upgrades.

A second international benchmark comes
from the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia’s Gold Coast. The official
post-event study titled Economic Impact Assessment of the Gold Coast 2018
Commonwealth Games, published by Griffith University in 2019,
estimated a total economic impact of A$2.5 billion across the
preparation, event and short-term legacy periods. The same report documented
how the Parklands Athlete Village was designed for immediate conversion
into a mixed-use residential and commercial district, creating long-term value
after the Games.

Ahmedabad is now positioned to
replicate elements of these success stories. Several anchor projects are
already in motion. The 236-acre Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave in
Motera was sanctioned through a Government of Gujarat resolution issued
in 2021, with project details published through official state planning
documents. The upcoming Naranpura Sports Complex, spread over
approximately 143 acres of restructured institutional land, has been cleared
through the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority’s town-planning approvals.
The expansion of the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport,
including a major terminal upgrade, is documented in the Airports Authority of
India’s infrastructure expansion filings.

As a result, multiple regions in
Ahmedabad are emerging as strong development corridors. Motera and Naranpura
will anchor the sports infrastructure. Their positioning resembles London’s
Stratford and Hackney Wick, which saw early uplift once venue plans were locked.
The Sabarmati riverfront corridor, expected to include the athlete
village and aquatic facilities, is well-placed for hospitality, residential and
mixed-use activity, similar to the waterfront-led developments in the Gold
Coast.

In South-West Ahmedabad, the Manipur,
Godhavi and Shela belt is undergoing zoning transitions connected to the
South-West Ahmedabad Sports Arena (SWASA), cleared under Ahmedabad Development
Plan provisions. These zoning changes reflect early groundwork for wider roads,
public infrastructure and recreational precincts. Comparable patterns were seen
in the Carrara to Southport corridor during the Gold Coast Games.

There is also a second ring of
localities that are strategically positioned for spillover benefits. This group
includes Vaishnodevi, Gota, Jagatpur and New Ranip, which sit along
expanding north and north-west transit networks that connect to SP Ring Road,
the airport zone and the Motera sports hub. These areas already have strong
residential traction, and their location offers more affordable entry points
for buyers who want access to upgraded infrastructure without being inside
high-density venue zones. Research on London’s second-tier Olympic belts, such
as Leyton and Plaistow, showed that such peripheral-but-connected areas often
experience strong mid-cycle appreciation.

Further west, the Sanand to SP Ring
Road corridor, including Shilaj, Palodia, Godhavi, Nidhrad and Kaneti, has
undergone formal land-use conversion approved through the Ahmedabad Urban
Development Authority. More than 200 hectares have been designated for
mixed-use and sports-linked development. This mirrors the zoning approach used
in Manchester before the 2002 Commonwealth Games, where peripheral corridors
became long-term growth engines.

Across past global events, the
development arc typically unfolds in three stages. First comes the announcement
phase, during w ]]></description>

Next comes the construction phase, where cities experience higher demand for rental housing, serviced apartments and mid-scale hotels. Finally comes the legacy phase, where outcomes depend on whether the infrastructure created is fully integrated into the city’s long-term urban plan. A comprehensive review by <b>Bent Flyvbjerg and Allison Stewart in the 2020 Oxford Olympics Study</b> found that cities such as Barcelona, London and the Gold Coast benefited significantly because they designed their infrastructure with post-event reuse in mind.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">For Ahmedabad’s residents and businesses, the opportunities now depend on geography and readiness. Individuals who own or plan to invest in Motera, Naranpura, Shela, Shilaj, Godhavi, Vaishnodevi, Gota, Jagatpur and New Ranip are located within or near mapped infrastructure corridors. Hospitality players near the airport and riverfront can gear up for expanded demand from officials, spectators and post-Games business tourism. Service-sector companies in logistics, facility management, events and transport can anticipate rising activity long before 2030.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[ Noida, Uttar Pradesh, 1st December, 2025 : EOSGlobe, India&#039;s
leading business process management and customer experience management company,
announced the launch of its new 30,000 sq. ft. delivery centre in Noida,
marking a significant expansion of its national operations and reinforcing
NCR’s position as one of India’s fastest-growing hubs for advanced digital and
customer experience (CX) services. The centre will create over 500 jobs in its
first phase across CX operations, digital support, automation-led workflows,
and back-office processes. 

EOSGlobe plans to steadily scale the centre’s capacity
over the next few years as demand grows for digitally empowered customer
operations and automation-driven business processes. EOSGlobe&#039;s investment is
expected to generate significant economic multiplier effects in the region,
including indirect employment for 2,000+ individuals through facilities
management, transportation, food services, and local vendors. 

The new facility is designed as EOSGlobe’s northern
flagship for AI-enabled CX, digital operations, and modern BPM services,
supporting clients across insurance, banking, retail, healthcare, and emerging
tech. With this expansion, the company deepens its delivery footprint to serve
both domestic and global enterprises looking for scalable, high-quality digital
services from India.

The Noida centre will also house EOSGlobe&#039;s Innovation
Lab, focusing on developing proprietary solutions for process automation,
predictive analytics, and conversational AI. The lab will collaborate with
Indian startups and technology partners to co-create solutions for global
markets.

Abhinav Arora, MD &amp; CEO, EOSGlobe, said, &quot;Noida has emerged as a strategic talent
corridor for the services economy — the mix of digital skills, multilingual
capability, and strong domain knowledge makes it a natural fit for our next
phase of growth. This centre strengthens our ability to deliver future-ready CX
and automation-led solutions at scale.&quot;

The move adds momentum to Noida’s position as one of
the country’s most active service-sector corridors. The city’s connectivity,
steady inflow of trained professionals, and growing commercial ecosystem have
made it a preferred base for companies expanding in the NCR.

The expansion provides a meaningful boost to the
regional economy, adding opportunities for youth, early-career professionals,
and specialists across customer operations and digital workflows. Noida’s
growing infrastructure, strong connectivity, and business-friendly environment
have accelerated the region’s rise as a preferred destination for BPM, GCCs,
and digital services firms. 

“We are committed to investing in NCR’s talent
ecosystem and contributing to the region’s economic momentum,” Arora added.
“Our Noida centre will support long-term client delivery, reskilling, and
expansion into next-generation digital services.”

EOSGlobe will also be partnering with leading
universities and technical institutions in the NCR region to establish
internship programs, campus hiring initiatives, and continuous learning
pathways. The company&#039;s &#039;Future Skills&#039; program will provide free training
through various internship programs in digital technologies, data analytics,
and AI tools to 1,000+ young professionals over the next three years. As part
of its corporate social responsibility initiative, EOSGlobe will also sponsor
digital literacy programs to underprivileged youth through its tie-ups with
NGOs in the NCR region.

<description><![CDATA[ India’s
largest Decathlon store blends multi-sport arenas, coaching programmes,
circular services and immersive retail for a 360° sport experience

 


 60,000
     sq. ft. flagship brings all sports under one roof, redefining Bengaluru’s
     sporting experience.
 Largest
     store in India combining innovation, sustainability and community
     engagement
 Coaching
     programs and community spaces turn the store into an experiential sports
     ecosystem.

Bengaluru, December 01 2025 : Decathlon, one of the
world’s leading multi-sports brands, today unveiled its revamped flagship store
in Whitefield, a future-ready, holistic sport ecosystem designed to transform
how Bengaluru plays, learns and experiences sport. As the largest store in
India, the new 60,000 sq. ft. flagship integrates multi-sport infrastructure,
expert coaching, community spaces, sustainable circular services and next-gen
retail innovation under one roof. This investment reinforces Decathlon’s
commitment to making sport accessible for all and building affordable,
community-centric sports infrastructure across India.

The store features a comprehensive Omni Services Zone
offering Second Life, a Level 3 Workshop, personalisation, and design stations.
It also includes enhanced trial areas, immersive showrooms, and dedicated
Try-Buy zones for hands-on exploration. Designed as a community sports hub, the
store will host coaching sessions for kids and adults across Basketball,
Football, Skating, Pickleball, and Gymnastics, along with workshops, a kids’
zone, a yoga and dance studio, weekly cycling and running meetups, sports
birthday parties, and workshops across various sports. 

The first floor of the two-storey retail store
features 29,000 sq ft. of state-of-the-art, fully air-conditioned multi-sport
arenas, surrounded by immersive product showrooms that encourage customers to
try, test, and experience products before they buy. As a testing ground for
innovation, the flagship integrates next-gen retail experiences including
RFID-enabled journeys, mobile checkouts, and a unified commerce model that
seamlessly connects the Decathlon app, website, and store — ensuring an
effortless and integrated sporting experience for every customer.

Commenting on this milestone, Sankar
Chatterjee, CEO, Decathlon India, said, “Sports has evolved significantly
in India over the last ten years, and we have witnessed this transformation
closely. The KPMG report notes that the pay-and-play facilities (‘turfs’)
industry is growing strongly. With more people actively choosing to play
sports, our larger objective of strengthening the sports ecosystem through our
playgrounds is further amplified. Through this, we create inclusive,
multi-sport spaces that bring families and neighbourhoods together.

Speaking about the store, he further added,
“Through this revamp, we are redefining what modernisation means for us. Our
approach goes beyond technological and architectural upgrades; it blends our
physical retail strength with our growing digital and circular capabilities,
including repair, resale, and buy-back. It’s about making every Decathlon
outlet smarter, more sustainable, and deeply aligned with the evolving needs of
our customers and the planet.”

Gilles Gaudemard, India Retail Leader, Decathlon India, said, “India’s sports retail sector is
evolving rapidly, driven by a new generation of users who expect accessibility,
expertise, and immersive in-store experiences. This store revamp is a step
towards that future, where we are bringing an elevated retail format that
prioritises experience, expert guidance, and omnichannel convenience. Bangalore
has always been ahead of the curve, and this expansion strengthens our
commitment to serve this dynamic and fast-growing sporting community” 

Through Decathlon’s Circular Business Initiatives, the
store unites eco-conscious services under one roof: a buyback and Second Life
program that gives pre-loved gear a new purpose, expert repair. The maintenance
services also encourage a “repair, not replace” mindset, and eco-mobility
features that promote walking and cycling. Supported by responsible operations
in waste management and energy use, these efforts make sustainable choices
simple, accessible, and rewarding, reflecting Decathlon’s vision for a truly
circular and inclusive future for sport.

The Whitefield store, first opened in 2012 as one of
the brand’s earliest stores in India, has welcomed more than 1.1M
customers, each part of Decathlon’s journey to make quality, affordable
gear accessible to everyone.

both, the product and service fronts.

<title>Three Cheers and a Hat&amp;trick for Inclusion! MullenLowe Lintas Group Named Among India’s 100 Best Companies for Women by Avtar and Seramount</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The
only advertising agency to score a hattrick at strengthening its commitment to
gender diversity and inclusion

Mumbai, 28th November 2025 : MullenLowe Lintas Group India has once again been recognized as one
of the ‘100 Best Companies for Women in India’ (BCWI) by Avtar and Seramount —
marking its third consecutive year on this prestigious list. The recognition
underscores the Group’s unwavering commitment to building a workplace where
women can thrive, lead, and grow — year after year.

The annual BCWI study, conducted by Avtar, India’s
leading Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion (DEI) consulting firm, and Seramount,
a US-based professional services and research organization, identifies
companies setting industry benchmarks in gender diversity. MullenLowe Lintas
Group’s continued presence in the 2025 edition is a testament to its sustained
efforts in fostering inclusion and creating equal opportunities for women at
every level.

Expressing his pride in the recognition, S. Subramanyeswar (Subbu), Group
CEO &amp; CSO-APAC, MullenLowe Global said, “This hat-trick is
special because it reflects the culture we’ve built together, one where women
have the space to lead boldly and shape what comes next. At MullenLowe Lintas
Group, inclusion is not just a priority, it’s a promise we renew every day. I’m
proud of our people for turning that promise into progress and for creating a
future where equality fuels excellence, creating a future that welcomes every
voice that dares to dream, to challenge, and to make a difference.”

For over eight decades, MullenLowe Lintas Group has
been at the forefront of shaping a diverse and progressive work culture. Today,
with women comprising over 47% of its workforce, the Group
continues to lead the conversation on gender equality in the advertising
industry. Its Apex DEI Council, School of leader’s program,
and Gender-Neutral Parental Leave Policy are among several
initiatives that position it as one of the industry’s most progressive and
people-first employers.

Emphasizing the importance of inclusive workplaces,
Garima Pant, Group Chief HR Officer, MullenLowe Lintas Group said, “We
are incredibly proud to be recognized as a Best Place to Work for Women. For us
at Lintas, gender equality moves beyond our walls; it is a movement that
defines the future of our economies and our culture. We fundamentally believe
that when women are seen, heard, hired, and paid equitably across the value
chain, we don’t just create more inclusive advertising - we build more
inclusive economies. This recognition affirms that our continuous endeavor is
making a tangible difference.”

The Group offers comprehensive support for employees
through policies such as 26 weeks of universal primary caregiver leave, preferential
parking for expectant and new mothers, mother’s rooms, crèche
benefits, extended hybrid work options for new mothers,
and OPD coverage for vaccinations. 

Beyond gender inclusion, MullenLowe Lintas Group has
also prioritized the overall well-being of its people with thoughtful
initiatives such as scheduled downtime, holiday homes,
and funded vacations, fostering both mental and physical wellness
across teams. 

The Group has immense focus on learning for
growth and career development; they provide educational scholarships to
support employees and their children in pursuing higher studies.

Additionally, the Group offers financial assistance to

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 28 : Indian creator and songwriter Jake Joss has achieved two global firsts in the field of AI-assisted music and video, marking a significant milestone for independent creativity in the country. By blending personal storytelling with generative technology, he has created two projects that have no prior global equivalent, both completed within the span of a single year.The first achievement is the world’s first fully AI-generated music video where both the song and the visuals were produced using prompt engineering. Titled Daddy, the project began with lyrics Jake wrote himself, inspired by personal memories. He then used AI tools to generate the musical composition and build the entire visual narrative through text-based prompts. Each frame was crafted through written instructions and assembled into a cohesive story, demonstrating a new way of creating music videos without traditional production infrastructure.The India Book of Records has formally recognised him as an IBR Achiever for this feat, noting the uniqueness of Daddy as the first music video created using this method.Building on this, Jake created another global first: the world’s first Human AI collaborative patriotic music album with complete AI-generated music videos for every track. The five-track album, titled Azaadi, explores themes of identity, belonging and contemporary patriotism. Each song is paired with its own AI-generated video, developed through detailed scene-level prompts and structured into five distinct visual narratives. This makes Azaadi the first patriotic album globally where every track has been visually realised through generative AI.Jake’s creative journey has always been rooted in real-life memories and everyday moments that shaped his early musical experiments. Doosra Pyaar, his first song, was written for his daughter. Birdie captured lighthearted childhood humour. His Hindustani fusion piece Eri Aali, created with his daughter, brought together classical influences and modern expression.Another meaningful part of Jake’s evolution is Electric Current. Originally a playful tune he created as a child, it became a small family favourite among his cousins. Years later, with access to generative AI tools, he was finally able to bring the melody to life as a full, high-energy English track. Its revival reflects how AI can help artists revisit old ideas and develop them into complete works.These experiences shaped Jake’s philosophy of combining emotion, curiosity and experimentation. Technology, for him, is not a replacement for human creativity but a means of expanding what a single creator can make without a large team or traditional resources. “My music did not begin with AI. It began with personal memories and moments. AI simply helped me express those feelings differently. The heart remains human. The tool is just new,” he says.Jake’s accomplishments arrive at a time when India is rapidly strengthening its position as a hub for digital creativity, storytelling and technological innovation. As generative AI continues to influence music, film and design worldwide, his work illustrates how independent Indian creators can shape new formats without institutional support or large budgets. It also highlights the possibility that major creative breakthroughs may increasingly emerge from individual innovators rather than large studios.With two world-first achievements completed in less than a year and a growing portfolio that spans personal storytelling, childhood ideas and modern AI-driven experimentation, Jake represents a new wave of Indian creators exploring what becomes possible when imagination and technology work together. His work demonstrates how Indian storytellers can pioneer new creative formats and contribute meaningfully to the global evolution of AI-enabled art.Jake shares his creative work and upcoming releases on Instagram at @original.sing  ]]></description>

<title>The Compelling Case for Multi&amp;Asset Allocation Funds</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-compelling-case-for-multi-asset-allocation-funds</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/the-compelling-case-for-multi-asset-allocation-funds</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The perspectives shared
by Madhu Lunawat (Founder and MD, The Wealth Company)

In today&#039;s dynamic and
often volatile financial landscape, investors are increasingly seeking
strategies that can provide both growth and stability. While traditional
investment avenues have their merits, the need for a more resilient and
diversified approach has never been more apparent. This is where multi-asset
allocation funds emerge as a powerful solution, offering a balanced and
disciplined approach to wealth creation. Think of a multi-asset allocation fund
as a well-balanced cricket team. 

You need aggressive
batsmen (equity) who can score quick runs and take the game forward, steady
middle-order players (debt) who stabilize the innings when wickets fall,
all-rounders (gold) who contribute in multiple ways, and a reliable
wicketkeeper (cash) who catches opportunities. A team with only aggressive
batsmen might score quickly but collapse under pressure. Similarly, a portfolio
needs different “players” with different strengths to win the long game.

Key Message: “Champions
aren’t built on star players alone. A winning portfolio, like a winning team,
needs balance across all positions.”

The Need for
Multi-Asset Allocation

The primary challenge
for most investors is not a lack of options, but rather the complexity of
choosing the right mix of assets. Equities offer high growth potential but come
with significant volatility. Debt instruments provide stability and regular
income but may offer limited capital appreciation. Gold and other commodities
act as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty, but their
performance can be cyclical. A multi-asset allocation fund simplifies this
complex decision-making process by investing in a diversified portfolio of at
least three asset classes, with a minimum allocation of 10% to each, as
mandated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). This ensures
that the fund is not overly reliant on any single asset class, thereby
mitigating risk and providing a more stable investment journey.

The Role in Asset
Allocation

Multi-asset allocation
funds play a crucial role in strategic asset allocation by providing a
professionally managed, diversified portfolio within a single investment. The
fund manager actively monitors market conditions and economic trends,
dynamically adjusting the allocation between different asset classes to
optimize risk-adjusted returns. For instance, during a bull market, the fund
may increase its equity exposure to capitalize on rising stock prices.
Conversely, in a bear market, the allocation may shift towards debt and gold to
preserve capital and cushion the portfolio from steep declines. This active
management and automatic rebalancing save investors the hassle of constantly
monitoring their portfolios and making tactical allocation decisions.

Who Should Invest?

Multi-asset allocation
funds are particularly well-suited for a wide range of investors:

●       
First-time investors: These funds provide a
simplified and diversified entry point into the world of investing, eliminating
the need to pick individual stocks or bonds.

●       
Investors with a low to moderate risk
tolerance: The diversified nature of these funds helps to smooth out returns
and reduce volatility, making them ideal for those who are not comfortable with
the high-risk nature of pure equity funds.

●       
Long-term investors: By providing a balanced
exposure to different asset classes, these funds are well-positioned to deliver
steady, long-term growth.

●       
Investors seeking a hassle-free investment
experience: The active management and automatic rebalancing features of these
funds make them a convenient, &quot;invest and forget&quot; solution.

Hybrid Multi-Asset
Funds vs. Equity-Heavy Funds

It is important to
distinguish multi-asset allocation funds from their more aggressive
counterparts, such as aggressive hybrid funds. While both fall under the hybrid
category, their risk-return profiles are significantly different.

Aggressive hybrid
funds, with their high equity allocation, tend to outperform in bull markets
but are also more susceptible to sharp declines during market downturns.
Multi-asset allocation funds, on the other hand, provide a more stable and
consistent performance across market cycles. The 10-year average return for

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Multi-asset allocation funds play a crucial role in strategic asset allocation by providing a professionally managed, diversified portfolio within a single investment. The fund manager actively monitors market conditions and economic trends, dynamically adjusting the allocation between different asset classes to optimize risk-adjusted returns. For instance, during a bull market, the fund may increase its equity exposure to capitalize on rising stock prices. Conversely, in a bear market, the allocation may shift towards debt and gold to preserve capital and cushion the portfolio from steep declines. This active management and automatic rebalancing save investors the hassle of constantly monitoring their portfolios and making tactical allocation decisions.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Who Should Invest?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Multi-asset allocation funds are particularly well-suited for a wide range of investors:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><!-- [if !supportLists]--><span>●        </span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN">First-time investors: These funds provide a simplified and diversified entry point into the world of investing, eliminating the need to pick individual stocks or bonds.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Aggressive hybrid funds, with their high equity allocation, tend to outperform in bull markets but are also more susceptible to sharp declines during market downturns. Multi-asset allocation funds, on the other hand, provide a more stable and consistent performance across market cycles. The 10-year average return for aggressive hybrid funds is slightly higher at 12.12% CAGR compared to 11.12% for multi-asset funds. However, it is interesting to note that the top-performing multi-asset funds have delivered returns that are comparable to, and in some cases, even better than their aggressive hybrid counterparts, but with lower volatility.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Volatility During Crises like COVID-19</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The COVID-19 pandemic served as a stark reminder of the importance of portfolio resilience. During the market crash of 2020, many equity-heavy portfolios suffered significant losses. Multi-asset allocation funds, however, demonstrated their ability to weather the storm. The inclusion of debt and gold in the portfolio helped to cushion the impact of the sharp decline in equity markets. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">As a result, these funds experienced lower drawdowns and recovered more quickly than their equity-heavy counterparts. This ability to provide stability during times of crisis is one of the most compelling reasons to include multi-asset allocation funds in any investment portfolio.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN">Conclusion</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In a world of increasing uncertainty, multi-asset allocation funds offer a compelling proposition for investors seeking a balanced and disciplined approach to wealth creation. By providing a diversified portfolio of different asset classes, these funds can help to mitigate risk, reduce volatility, and deliver steady, long-term growth. As the first Indian woman to establish a mutual fund house, I am committed to empowering investors with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve their financial goals. I believe that multi-asset allocation funds are an essential component of any well-diversified investment portfolio, and I encourage all investors to consider them as a part of their wealth creation journey.<span>   </span></span></p>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/indias-hydropower-industry-a-decade-of-progress-and-a-storage-led-future</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Over the past ten years, India’s hydropower sector has
undergone a quiet resurgence. Once seen as slow, high-risk and environmentally
constrained, it has evolved into a critical pillar of India’s clean-energy
architecture—providing flexible, peak-shaving and long-duration storage for a
grid increasingly dominated by solar and wind. India now has ~50 GW of large
hydro capacity, with long-delayed projects finally moving forward. FY2025-26
alone saw major breakthroughs in projects: Parbati-II (800 MW) achieved full
commercial operation, while Lower Subansiri (2,000 MW)—India’s largest
hydropower project—entered wet commissioning after years of delay.

A Power System That Outgrew Old Assumptions

Between 2015 and 2025, India’s hydro capacity
increased modestly—from the mid-40 GW range to ~50 GW. But the system around it
changed dramatically. By 2025, India’s total utility-scale capacity touched
~500 GW, with 48–50% from non-fossil sources. Hydro’s share remained 10–11%,
but its strategic importance soared because it is dispatchable—providing
peaking power, frequency stabilisation and seasonal firming in a solar- and
wind-heavy grid.

A New Era of Safety and Climate Resilience

Greater awareness of Himalayan climate risks — glacial
lake outburst (GLOFs), extreme rainfall, landslides—has elevated safety and
design standards. Early-warning systems (EWS), dam-safety upgrades and stricter
design reviews are now embedded across high-altitude projects, improving trust
and governance in hydropower development.

Decade-Defining Projects

Lower Subansiri (2,000 MW)

Straddling Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, Subansiri
overcame an eight-year suspension (2011–2019) and saw rapid progress in the
last few years. Spillway gates, steel liners and mechanical systems were
completed; two 250 MW units entered wet commissioning in October–November 2025.
Full commissioning is targeted for 2026, supplying peaking power to 17 states.

Parbati-II (800 MW)

In Himachal Pradesh, Parbati-II achieved full
commercial operation, delivering India’s longest head race tunnel (31.6 km) and
world-record inclined pressure shafts built with Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs)
— demonstrating India’s tunnelling and underground engineering capabilities.

Pakal Dul, Teesta VI and the Chenab Cascade

 


 Pakal
     Dul (1,000 MW): Complex Himalayan geology tackled with dual long Head Race
     Tunnels (HRTs) and multiple TBMs; L&amp;T commissioned its second TBM in
     April 2024. Completion expected post-2027.
 Teesta
     VI (500 MW): Revival continued through June 2025, reaching 11,000 m of HRT
     excavation and 6,000 m of lining.
 Chenab
     cascade: Kiru (624 MW) and Kwar (540 MW) being executed by Patel
     Engineering advanced steadily, forming a strategically important
     hydropower cluster.


 

Conventional Hydro’s Second Wave

India is preparing for a fresh round of large hydro
construction:


 J&amp;K:
     Sawalkote (1,856 MW) and Kirthai (930 MW) set to begin construction; Kiru,
     Kwar and Pakal Dul heading toward commissioning.
 East:
     Teesta basin projects—including Teesta-IV and expansions of Teesta-V and VI—are
     being revived.
 Arunachal
     Pradesh: Mega projects such as Kamala (1,720 MW), Subansiri Upper (1,605
     MW) and Dibang (2,880 MW) progressing through clearances; the state holds
     over 50 GW of untapped potential.
 Uttarakhand:
     New projects planned using existing reservoirs.

Together, these additions will deliver tens of
gigawatts of firm, dispatchable power essential for balancing renewables.

The Pumped Storage Pivot: Hydro Becomes India’s
Storage Engine

While conventional hydro is rebounding, pumped-storage
hydro (PSH) is emerging as the defining technology of the next decade—acting as
massive, grid-scale “gravity batteries.”

Policy Momentum

Hydro ≥25 MW is now classified as renewable, with PSH
supported by Inter-State Transmission Systems (ISTS) waivers, tariff reforms,
viability support and fast-tracked Detailed Project Report (DPR) approvals.
India has 224 GW of identified PSH potential and aims for ~50 GW by 2032.
Annual capacity additions are projected to climb from ~3 GW (2025–27) to 10–13
GW/year post-FY2028–29.

A Pipeline of Unprecedented Scale

As of May 2025, 125 PSH projects (~151.7 GW) were in
the environmental-clearance pipeline, though only ~13% had received
Environmental Clearances (ECs) or begun construction—highlighting both ambition
and execution pressure.

PSH in Action

On May 30, 2024, when India’s peak demand hit 249.8
GW, hydro generation was strategically conserved for evening
peaks—demonstrating how conventional hydro and PSH work together to stabilise a
renewables-heavy grid.

Execution Capacity: A Critical Constraint

<title>A Day of Healing, Hope and Precision: Three Women, Three Countries, One Destination—CARE Banjara</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/a-day-of-healing-hope-and-precision-three-women-three-countries-one-destinationcare-banjara</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/a-day-of-healing-hope-and-precision-three-women-three-countries-one-destinationcare-banjara</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad : In what senior
clinicians described as “a deeply meaningful day for women’s health,” CARE
Hospitals, Banjara Hills successfully performed three complex robotic
gynecological surgeries in a single day, bringing together the journeys of
three women from Singapore, Dubai, and India under one roof of advanced care.

The coincidence of all three cases aligning on the
same day created what hospital leadership called “an extraordinary reminder of
why women across the world place their trust in Indian healthcare.” The
surgeries were led by Padma Shri awardee and globally renowned robotic surgeon
Dr. Manjula Anagani, who also holds a Guinness World Record for removing the
highest number of fibroids in a single operation. 

The first patient, a 40-year-old woman from Singapore,
had been experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding due to a submucosal fibroid and
dense adhesions. She underwent a Robotic Hysterectomy with Bilateral
Salpingectomy and Adhesiolysis, offering her long-awaited relief and anatomical
restoration.

The second patient, a 50-year-old woman from Dubai,
had post-menopausal endometrial hyperplasia. After a D&amp;C and Frozen Section
Biopsy, she underwent a Robotic Hysterectomy with Bilateral
Salpingo-Oophorectomy, combining oncologic safety with minimally invasive
precision.

The third patient, a 37-year-old woman from India,
presented with severe abdominal pain caused by a large ovarian hemorrhagic
cyst, bilateral hydrosalpinges, and dense adhesions from a previous abdominal
incision. She underwent a complex multi-step robotic procedure involving
Hysterectomy, meticulous Adhesiolysis, restoration of anatomy, Ovarian
Cystectomy, and Bilateral Salpingectomy—one of the most technically demanding
surgeries performed that day.

Reflecting on the day’s significance, Padma
Shri awardee Dr. Manjula Anagani, Clinical Director &amp; Head of
Department, CARE Vatsalya Women &amp; Child Institute said, “Robotic surgery
allows us to treat complex gynecological conditions with remarkable precision
and minimal trauma. What stood out yesterday was not just the complexity of the
cases, but the trust women from different parts of the world placed in CARE
Banjara. Their journeys remind us why advancing women’s health remains our
deepest commitment.”

Hospital leadership highlighted the symbolic
importance of the milestone. Biju S. Nair, Zonal COO, CARE
Hospitals, noted, “We are grateful to Dr. Manjula for her unwavering commitment
to advancing our robotics programme. Days like this reflect CARE Banjara’s
growing capability and the trust patients place in us from across the world.”

The hospital stated that the successful completion of
these surgeries marks not just a clinical achievement, but a moment of pride as
CARE Banjara strengthens its robotics programme and expands its global footprint
in women’s health.

About CARE Hospitals:

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p><b>Hyderabad :</b> In what senior clinicians described as “a deeply meaningful day for women’s health,” CARE Hospitals, Banjara Hills successfully performed three complex robotic gynecological surgeries in a single day, bringing together the journeys of three women from Singapore, Dubai, and India under one roof of advanced care.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The coincidence of all three cases aligning on the same day created what hospital leadership called “an extraordinary reminder of why women across the world place their trust in Indian healthcare.” The surgeries were led by Padma Shri awardee and globally renowned robotic surgeon Dr. Manjula Anagani, who also holds a Guinness World Record for removing the highest number of fibroids in a single operation. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The first patient, a 40-year-old woman from Singapore, had been experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding due to a submucosal fibroid and dense adhesions. She underwent a Robotic Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingectomy and Adhesiolysis, offering her long-awaited relief and anatomical restoration.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The second patient, a 50-year-old woman from Dubai, had post-menopausal endometrial hyperplasia. After a D&amp;C and Frozen Section Biopsy, she underwent a Robotic Hysterectomy with Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy, combining oncologic safety with minimally invasive precision.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The third patient, a 37-year-old woman from India, presented with severe abdominal pain caused by a large ovarian hemorrhagic cyst, bilateral hydrosalpinges, and dense adhesions from a previous abdominal incision. She underwent a complex multi-step robotic procedure involving Hysterectomy, meticulous Adhesiolysis, restoration of anatomy, Ovarian Cystectomy, and Bilateral Salpingectomy—one of the most technically demanding surgeries performed that day.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Reflecting on the day’s significance, <b>Padma Shri awardee Dr. Manjula Anagani</b>, Clinical Director &amp; Head of Department, CARE Vatsalya Women &amp; Child Institute said, “Robotic surgery allows us to treat complex gynecological conditions with remarkable precision and minimal trauma. What stood out yesterday was not just the complexity of the cases, but the trust women from different parts of the world placed in CARE Banjara. Their journeys remind us why advancing women’s health remains our deepest commitment.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">Hospital leadership highlighted the symbolic importance of the milestone. <b>Biju S. Nair</b>, Zonal COO, CARE Hospitals, noted, “We are grateful to Dr. Manjula for her unwavering commitment to advancing our robotics programme. Days like this reflect CARE Banjara’s growing capability and the trust patients place in us from across the world.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IN">The hospital stated that the successful completion of these surgeries marks not just a clinical achievement, but a moment of pride as CARE Banjara strengthens its robotics programme and expands its global footprint in women’s health.</span></p>

setup, hospitality lounges, merchandising, and digital screens, ensuring
continuous engagement with participants and spectators throughout the
day. 

Commenting on the association, Mr. Amar Sinha,
Chief Operating Officer, Radico Khaitan, said: “Golf is a natural extension
of Royal Ranthambore’s premium identity. The NDTV Golf ProAm provided an ideal
space to showcase our brand’s craftsmanship to a community that values
excellence, authenticity, and refined experiences. Our on-ground activation
allowed guests to interact with Royal Ranthambore in a setting that truly

Looking ahead, the NDTV–PGTI Golf ProAm will continue
its journey across major Indian cities, offering Royal Ranthambore further
opportunities to deepen its engagement with premium audiences. The upcoming
editions of the tournament are scheduled to take place in Mumbai, Bengaluru,
Hyderabad, and Kolkata, allowing the brand to amplify its presence and connect with

<description><![CDATA[ Chhatral, Gujarat | 27th November 2025 : Arfin India Limited (Arfin) (NSE: ARFIN | BSE: 539151), a leading
manufacturer of aluminium and ferro-alloy products, reported a strong financial
and operational performance for FY 2024–25, reaffirming its positive long-term
growth trajectory. The year marked one of the company’s most successful
periods, underscoring healthy demand, improved product mix, and disciplined
execution across operations.

Arfin delivered record performance during the year,
supported by strong domestic and export demand, efficiency improvements, and a
sharper focus on high-margin products.

Key Financial Highlights (FY 2024–25):


 Gross
     Sales: ₹709.2 crs (14% YoY growth)
 Net
     Sales: ₹615.75 crs
 EBITDA: ₹38.3 crs (19% YoY growth)
 Profit
     After Tax: ₹9.2 crs 
 Export
     Sales: ₹138.2 crs (27% YoY growth)
 Net
     Worth: ₹156.8 crs (62% YoY growth)

The company’s strong financial performance reflects
enhanced profitability, improved working capital management, and continued
strength across aluminium wire rods, aluminium deoxidisers, and other
value-added product lines.

Arfin had won a substantial aluminium supply order of
approximately ₹180 crore from JFE Shoji India in September. The order was for
supplying aluminium ingots, wire rods and cubes/shots aggregating about 6,900
metric tonnes. The execution will be between October 2025 and March 2026, with
an average run rate of about 1,150 MT per month, which amounts to about ₹30
crore monthly revenues for Arfin India. The company expects that the topline
and bottom line will easily beat industry growth rate in the coming quarters
due to the strong developments happening in the company.

Jatin M. Shah, Managing Director, Arfin India
Limited, said, “FY 2024–25 vindicates our
belief in our business ethos. We have made significant strategic progress,
resulting in a solid financial performance and stronger balance sheet. As we
continue to optimise our product mix, enhance manufacturing efficiencies, and
expand our global footprint, we remain committed to building a future-ready,
sustainable organisation that creates consistent long-term value for our
investors.”

Arfin’s long-term roadmap is anchored in strengthening
competitiveness, improving cost structures, and expanding technical
capabilities to support sustainable earnings growth. Key focus areas include:


 Product
     Mix Premiumisation: Scaling high-margin,
     value-added aluminium products to improve profitability.
 Operational
     Efficiency: Intensifying cost optimisation,
     lean manufacturing, and digital integration to enhance productivity.
 Capacity
     Utilisation: Leveraging its 71,000 MTPA
     installed capacity for higher throughput and economies of scale.
 Export
     Market Expansion: Building on a 27% rise in
     exports, supported by a long-standing 14-year strategic distributorship
     with JFE Shoji India Pvt. Ltd.
 Sustainability
     Focus: Increasing renewable energy use through
     captive solar installations, reducing long-term power costs and carbon
     footprint.
 Innovation
     &amp; R&amp;D: Developing customer-driven
     solutions, particularly in the steel, automotive, and power sectors, to
     strengthen market relevance.

These strategic levers reinforce Arfin’s strong
positioning to capitalise on opportunities in domestic and international
markets, while maintaining financial discipline.

Arfin’s robust outlook, reflected through its healthy
capital structure, strong net worth, and stable operational profile, has
resulted in Crisil Ratings reaffirming the company’s credit ratings at:


 Long-Term: CRISIL
     BBB / Stable
 Short-Term: CRISIL
     A3+

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi – November 2025 : ARE Infra Heights, a Delhi-based real estate developer, today
unveiled its aggressive growth and expansion strategy for 2026, planning new
residential developments across the National Capital Region (NCR), Uttarakhand
and Gujarat. The move marks a strategic shift for the company — from focusing
only on Delhi’s west zone to emerging as a pan-India builder with a diversified
housing portfolio.

 

The Expansion Plan: Delhi, Uttarakhand &amp;
Gujarat


 Delhi
     NCR (West Delhi — Dwarka, Niranjan Park, Dwarka Mor, Ranaji Enclave, etc.): Continued focus on delivering 1/2/3/4-BHK flats and
     independent homes with modern amenities and transparent documentation. ARE
     Infra Heights aims to accelerate delivery timelines and enhance design
     &amp; quality standards to meet growing demand for affordable ownership
     housing in West Delhi. 
 Uttarakhand
     (Hill &amp; Holiday Homes / Farm-Plot Projects): For the first time, the company plans to enter the
     Uttarakhand market, targeting buyers seeking second homes, nature-oriented
     living or long-term asset value — particularly holiday-home seekers and
     families.
 Gujarat
     (Including Emerging Smart-City &amp; Industrial Regions): ARE Infra Heights will launch residential plot and
     plotted-housing projects, offering prospective homeowners and investors an
     opportunity to own homes or assets in growth corridors in Gujarat.


 

This multi-state strategy reflects the company’s
belief in diversified real-estate demand — from value homes in Delhi to holiday
homes and investment-oriented plots outside NCR.

About ARE Infra Heights Pvt. Ltd.

 

Founded in 2016, ARE Infra Heights has
established itself as a trusted real-estate builder primarily operating in West
Delhi (Uttam Nagar, Dwarka Mor, Ranaji Enclave). The company specializes in
delivering quality 1-BHK to 4-BHK apartments and independent builder-floors,
with emphasis on affordability, transparent dealings, timely delivery, and
loan-assistance for buyers. Under the guidance and mentorship of Mr. Deepak
Garg, ARE Infra Heights has successfully delivered 2,500+ homes to happy families,
with many more milestone projects underway.

 

Over the years, the firm has helped hundreds of
families move from rented living to home ownership — delivering homes that
balance budget and comfort, often in localities with good metro connectivity and
city-wide transport access. 

 

With the 2026 expansion plan, ARE Infra Heights aims
to evolve from a local Delhi builder into a multi-region real-estate developer
— delivering value-driven housing across North and West India.

 

Leadership – Vision &amp; Commitment

 

Deepak Garg, Founder
&amp; Managing Director, ARE Infra Heights Pvt. Ltd., said: “2026 marks
a watershed year for ARE Infra Heights. Our mission has always been to offer
honest, affordable and quality homes to deserving buyers. As the real-estate
landscape evolves, we are responding with a diversified vision — expanding
beyond Delhi, entering new geographies, and offering a range of housing
options: from budget flats to holiday homes and plotted developments. Our
commitment remains unchanged: transparency, timely delivery and long-term value
for homeowners.”

 

Under Garg’s leadership, the company aims to combine
its experience in Delhi’s residential market with the potential of newer
markets to deliver homes that meet the aspirations of modern Indian families.

 

What Buyers &amp; Investors Can Expect

 


 Transparent
     pricing and documentation — without hidden brokerage or charges.
 Quality
     construction and modern amenities (modular kitchens, branded fixtures,
     secure gated layout, 24×7 utilities, etc.).
 Diverse
     offerings — ready-to-move flats, independent floors, plotted developments,
     holiday / second-home options.
 Flexibility:
     from affordable 1/2 BHK homes for first-time buyers to larger homes and
     plotted realty for families and investors.


 

Looking Ahead

 

ARE Infra Heights plans to launch its first projects
outside Delhi by early 2026, with formal launches in Uttarakhand and Gujarat.
The company is also strengthening its project-management, documentation, and
customer-support teams to ensure a smooth home-buying experience across
regions.

firm led by retail veteran S. Shriram, has formalised a business collaboration
with Texvalley Erode, one of South India’s largest integrated marketplaces
spanning 20 lakh sq. ft. 

Texvalley – promoted by Erode-based Lotus Group and
URC Group – is currently undergoing a major transformation from a predominantly
wholesale textile hub into a full-fledged destination offering fashion, food
and beverage, electronics, sports, entertainment and a wide range of
family-oriented leisure experiences. 

This repositioning aims to enhance Texvalley’s appeal
across consumer groups, particularly Gen Z and millennials, by creating a
trend-led, aspirational and experience-driven destination aligned with evolving
lifestyle and retail expectations.

Speaking on the collaboration, S. Shriram,
Founder &amp; CEO of Miles2Go Consulting Services, said, “Texvalley
stands at a unique intersection — a rich textile legacy on one side and a
fast-growing demand for organised retail and lifestyle experiences on the
other. By repurposing Texvalley into a next-generation destination, our vision
is to create a compelling ecosystem that appeals to traders, families, youth,
Gen Z and millennial consumers alike. 

The aim is to build not just a marketplace, but a
vibrant retail and leisure landmark for the entire region.” 

Shriram brings deep category experience, having been
the first Indian to establish airport retail spanning 46,000 sq. ft. at India’s
first private greenfield airport in 2006, and having served on the founding
team of Central, India’s first seamless mall by the Future Group.

Miles2Go was formed in 2014 and has hence worked with
scores of small and medium business owners &amp; entrepreneurs, helping them
scale their business, with a deep focus on improving PAT. The firm aims to
become the first Management Consulting Firm in India to go for an IPO by
2030. 

Located in Erode at the heart of Tamil Nadu’s textile
belt, Texvalley is easily accessible to key trade and residential clusters
including Gobichettipalayam, Bhavani, Perundurai, Sangagiri and Tiruchengode,
while also drawing visitors from the wider Tiruppur region such as Avinashi,
Kangeyam, Palladam and Vellakoil. It further connects to catchments from
Karur—Paramathi-Velur, Aravakurichi and Namakkal—and from major pockets of
Salem such as Rasipuram, Mettur, Omalur and Yercaud. 

This diverse and high-potential catchment uniquely
positions Texvalley to evolve into a large-scale retail, lifestyle and
entertainment destination complementing its wholesale strengths.

Under this collaboration, Miles2Go will steer
Texvalley’s comprehensive rebranding, long-term planning and strategic
repositioning. This will include the development of a 10–15-year master
roadmap, phased infrastructure upgradation, modernised zoning and layout
improvements, and the creation of lifestyle and entertainment districts.

A refreshed tenant mix featuring fashion, lifestyle,
dining and leisure brands will be curated alongside strengthened leasing
strategies. The collaboration also includes building a year-round marketing and
events calendar aligned with regional cultural and festive cycles, and
introducing experience-led initiatives designed to deepen consumer engagement
and drive sustained footfall. 

Structured performance reviews will track metrics such
as footfall, sales trends and consumer response to ensure the transformation
remains agile, data-driven and consumer-centric. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

Indian professional wrestler, motivational
icon, and one of India’s most admired entertainment personalities, Sangram
Singh, has officially been announced as the Global Brand Ambassador for OneX
Property, a rapidly growing international real-estate ecosystem with roots in
Canada and expansions across Dubai, India, and new global markets. The
association marks a powerful moment for both Sangram and OneX, aligning a
global sports icon with a brand that stands for trust, transparency, and
long-term wealth creation.

Sangram Singh, celebrated nationwide for his
honesty, grit, and extraordinary journey from adversity to global recognition,
has long been a symbol of discipline and resilience. His inspirational life
story — from overcoming severe health challenges to becoming one of India’s
most respected wrestlers and motivational speakers — makes him a natural fit
for OneX Property’s vision of empowering individuals and families to build
secure futures with clarity and confidence. His presence adds emotional and moral
credibility to the brand, elevating it far beyond the transactional nature of
traditional real estate.

OneX Property is redefining the real-estate
landscape by going well beyond property sales. It is a complete, future-ready
real-estate ecosystem that blends investment, education, income-generation and
professional development on a single global platform. While the company offers
verified and transparently curated projects across Canada, Dubai, and India,
its differentiator lies in its OneX Certification Program, OneX Certification,
Kings Global Academy UK, Program designed to empower fresh brokers with
industry-standard training and credibility. Alongside this, its innovative OneX
Affiliate Program allows everyday individuals to create a sustainable second
income by participating in a structured, ethical, multi-level real-estate
income model — something very few global companies offer.

As real-estate markets surge across major
investment corridors, buyers today are seeking clarity: verified inventory,
trustworthy advisory, simplified decision-making, and a human touch that guides
them through complex investment cycles. Sangram Singh’s association with OneX
comes at the perfect time. His reputation as a national icon of integrity
strengthens the brand’s promise of transparency, fairness, and reliability —
values that young investors, NRIs, first-time buyers, and families deeply
resonate with.

Speaking about the collaboration, Sangram
Singh said, “Real estate is one of the most important decisions people make.
They don’t just invest money; they invest dreams. What people seek today is a
brand that is honest, transparent, and committed to their future. OneX Property
represents these values, and I am proud to join a company that focuses on
empowering people, not just selling to them.”

The leadership at OneX emphasised that Sangram
Singh’s universal appeal — across age groups, professions, and geographies —
makes him the ideal face for a brand that is expanding into multiple countries.
They added that Sangram’s life philosophy of strength, truth, and perseverance
mirrors OneX’s core DNA of ethical advisory, responsible real-estate practice,
and growth through credible community-building.

With Sangram’s global presence backing the
brand, OneX Property is now poised to accelerate its investor education
initiatives, strengthen its certification pathways for new brokers, and expand
its wealth-building framework across India, the UAE, Canada, and upcoming
markets in Southeast Asia and Europe. The collaboration also positions OneX as
a youth-forward, future-forward company — modern, transparent, and committed to
long-term transformation rather than short-term gains.

For OneX Property, Sangram Singh is not just a
Brand Ambassador — he is the global symbol of trust, the personification of
transparency, and the emotional bridge connecting the brand with millions
seeking secure, confidence-driven real-estate opportunities.

<title>Fleetx Launches AI&amp;Powered Truck Routes, Delivering Advanced Routing Intelligence for Commercial Vehicle Fleets</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/fleetx-launches-ai-powered-truck-routes-delivering-advanced-routing-intelligence-for-commercial-vehicle-fleets</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  AI-powered
routing intelligence built on millions of real trips helps fleets choose the
safest, fastest, and most cost-efficient paths

National, 27th Nov 2025 : Fleetx.io, India’s
leading logistics SaaS platform, today announced the launch of AI-Powered
Truck Routes, a first-of-its-kind routing intelligence engine built
specifically for the country’s commercial vehicle ecosystem. The new product
enables enterprises to identify the safest, fastest and most cost-efficient
routes for their trucks, using insights generated from millions of real
trips across more than five lakh connected commercial vehicles on the
Fleetx platform.

For years, enterprises have struggled with fragmented
route planning processes that rely heavily on driver intuition, limited
internal data and subjective judgement. While Google Maps serves passenger
vehicles, it does not offer truck-specific guidance—leaving logistics teams
without a credible, data-backed view of actual movement of commercial vehicles
on key freight lanes. Fleetx’s ‘Truckable Routes’ closes this gap by
delivering Google-style routing intelligence trained entirely on real
commercial vehicle behaviour.

The product analyzes historical trip patterns of
vehicles LIVE on the Fleetx platform to identify the routes trucks actually
take and why. It shows the percentage of vehicles using each route,
average time with stoppages, expected delays, safety indicators, risky halts
and overall route efficiency. It also reveals toll and trip economics
for each route, helping enterprises balance speed, safety and cost.

Truckable Routes also enables real-time
deviation detection, allowing logistics teams to ensure drivers follow
recommended paths- avoiding delays, unsafe corridors, or unplanned
stoppages. This directly improves safety, enhances risk mitigation, and
strengthens OTIF performance. Standardized routing across plants,
vendors and transport partners brings greater predictability and discipline to
logistics operations.

Truckable Routes is powered by one of India’s largest
datasets of commercial vehicle movement. With more than half a million
commercial vehicles generating continuous telemetry and trip-level data, the AI
models keep learning and improving from every journey, making the routing
engine increasingly accurate, context-aware and reliable.

Speaking on the launch, Vineet Sharma, Founder
&amp; CEO of Fleetx, said:

“Enterprises in India have never had access to
Google-like routing intelligence for their commercial vehicles. Route decisions
have often depended on driver preference or incomplete internal knowledge. With
AI-powered Truckable Routes, we are giving logistics teams a data-backed view
of which routes are truly optimal, based on millions of real trips across our
network of over five lakh commercial vehicles. We believe this will
fundamentally transform how freight is planned, monitored, and optimized in the
country.”

The launch reinforces Fleetx’s mission to empower
enterprises with end-to-end visibility, predictive insights, and AI-driven
tools that help reduce operational costs, improve reliability, and enhance
safety standards across fleet &amp; logistics operations.

 

About Fleetx: 

Fleetx is an AI-powered fleet and logistics
optimization platform on a mission to revolutionize physical operations for
businesses. By unifying data, IoT, and artificial intelligence into a single
platform, Fleetx empowers organizations to digitize their logistics, enhance

<description><![CDATA[ Aspect Hospitality, one
of India’s fastest-growing F&amp;B groups, announces the launch of Akina in Worli,
its latest fine-dining destination in Mumbai. This marks a significant step in Aspect
Hospitality’s expansion journey as it continues to redefine India’s culinary
landscape across fine dining and casual dining restaurants. The new outpost
brings a refined expression of modern Asian cuisine and an exceptional
bar program to the heart of the city, combining design, culinary
artistry, and craftsmanship to create an immersive dining experience that’s not
limited to pan-Asian but brings in nuances from Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, and
Peru and relooks at a whole new chapter in its Worli edition by considering it
through an Indian lens. 

From Aksha Kamboj, Executive Chairperson,
Aspect Global, “Akina in Worli represents the next phase of our
growth strategy, where India’s rising appetite for nuanced, design-led dining
meets our commitment to building brands with long-term equity. At Aspect
Hospitality, we are not focused on expansion for scale alone. We are shaping an
ecosystem where culinary innovation, operational excellence, and cultural
relevance move in complete alignment. Akina in worli stands as a clear
statement of intent, reflecting how we plan to redefine India’s premium dining
landscape with depth, discipline, and vision. As we enter new markets and
strengthen our portfolio, our priority remains consistent value creation,
sustainable growth, and a business model that endures.” 

Hitesh Keswani, Managing Director, Aspect
Hospitality, added, “In the last year,
Aspect Hospitality has delivered one of its most transformative phases yet,
achieving record footfalls across its flagship restaurants, expanding its QSR
footprint at unprecedented speed, and successfully relaunching key brands such
as Opa Kipos in Mumbai which is Dubai’s iconic Greek fine-dining concept with
its signature blend of Hellenic gastronomy, dramatic
performances, and the iconic plate-smashing ritual synonymous
with the brand. With multiple new locations in the pipeline, concept-driven
ventures, and growing demand for its brands across India, the group’s
exceptional performance over the past year has laid a solid foundation for its
next chapter for growth.” 

 

Aspect Hospitality: A Growth Story of Scale and
Strategy 

Aspect Hospitality has quickly grown into one of
India&#039;s most dynamic and diverse F&amp;B businesses. It started as a single
restaurant and has since grown into a multi-brand powerhouse with over ten
marquee concepts in fine dining, casual dining, and quick service formats. It
has also expanded to Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, and many more other cities
spanning across India. 

At the heart of Aspect’s success lies its ability
to grasp the evolving urban consumer behaviour and balance
aspirational dining experiences with accessibility, consistency, and brand
distinction. Their brands are built on a unified vision: to create hospitality
ecosystems that deliver experience end-to-end, which corner authenticity
and design-led storytelling while maintaining unmatched quality.

 

Portfolio Snapshot: Multi-Segment, Multi-Format
Strength 

·      
Fine Dining: Ākina and Opa Kipos anchor
the group’s luxury portfolio—both are high-design experiential
destinations that blend global influences with regional authenticity.
They represent the new wave of India’s premium dining evolution,
where gastronomy meets storytelling and experience rules. 

·      
Casual Dining: Radio Bar, Brunch &amp; Cake, Nom Nom, Silver Beach Café,
Tuya’s, and The Coconut Boy together
represent India’s thriving mid-premium market that is built on
community-centric dining where the brands thrive on high repeatability,
effortless familiarity, and strong neighborhood connections, so consistency is
mainly at the forefront. 

·      
QSR: Nom Nom Express and The
South Table form the backbone of Aspect’s scalable growth story. Both
are fast-delivery-first and expansion-ready brands, engineered
for rapid replication through efficient operating models, strong branding, and
a prompt data-led location strategy. 

Key Growth Highlights: Building for Scale and
Longevity 

·      
Rapid QSR Expansion: 

Nom Nom Express, the
group’s flagship quick-service format, has achieved 50+ outlets across
Mumbai and pune, supported by a centralized production and
distribution model that ensures standardization and speed-to-market.

·      
New Flagships Launching
Soon: 

The group is now entering a new wave of strategic
flagship openings with Ākina and Radio
Bar slated for Vashi and Malad West, alongside new Radio
Bar outlets in Pune and Worli. Each new location is
positioned to tap into high-growth micro-markets driven by a
mix of residential affluence and commercial density. 

·      
Franchise
Acceleration: 

Radio Bar, one of Aspect’s
most recognized social dining brands, has entered ]]></description>

At Worli, the highlight she carries with her is a robust creative section of Modern Asian flavours through an Indian lens. The Indian-influenced menu is a collection which celebrates the cultural melting pot that defines Mumbai, a city where global influences and local tastes coexist seamlessly. The cocktail philosophy centers around the five elements of nature, earth, water, fire, air, and void. This forms the backbone at Akina as it offers guests curations that are calm yet powerful, elegant yet deeply rooted in intention. </span></p>

<description><![CDATA[   An
Inclusive Mobility Initiative by the Government of Maharashtra, FUPRO,
Michelin and Tarq Foundation

27 November 2025 | Pune : In a landmark collaborative effort toward inclusive mobility, the
Government of Maharashtra, Michelin Tyres, FUPRO, and Tarq Foundation have
jointly launched the Precision Mobility Health Camp for Persons with Locomotive
Disabilities. The initiative enables scientific hand and foot measurements to
design custom-fit mobility aids advancing not only physical movement, but also
greater independence, participation, and everyday dignity.

Recognised nationally after its appearance on Shark
Tank India, FUPRO is leading innovation in adaptive mobility
solutions designed for underserved communities. This camp marks a significant
expansion of their mission of bringing high-quality, personalized mobility
support directly to individuals who need it most.

Speaking at the launch, Hon. Minister Shri
Chandrakant Patil Ji, Minister of Higher &amp; Technical Education,
Parliamentary Affairs, Government of Maharashtra &amp; MLA, Kothrud
Constituency, emphasised the inclusive vision
behind the initiative:

“Maharashtra is committed to building a state where
innovation reduces barriers. This health camp is a promise that every citizen,
regardless of ability, has the right to dignity, opportunity, and mobility.”

Nimish Mehra, Co-Founder, FUPRO Innovation Pvt.
Ltd., shared the personal roots of this effort:

“FUPRO was born from a very real, emotional place
in my own life. I’ve seen what limited mobility can mean — not just physically,
but emotionally and socially. Mobility is not a device; it is dignity, it is
freedom. This health camp brings solutions built for people, not just around
them.”

Pune Municipal Commissioner, Shri Naval Kishore Ram
Ji, highlighted the role of governance and empathy:

“True development is not measured by infrastructure
alone, but by how we care for people who need greater support. Empathy must
guide every policy, every system, and every partnership like the one we see
here today.”

Lakshana Asthana, Founding Partner, Tarq
Foundation, shared the collective vision behind the
platform:

“People are not defined by what they lack, but by
the opportunities we help unlock. This initiative is a step towards a future
where accessible mobility is not a privilege, but a right. With the Government
of Maharashtra, Michelin, and FUPRO, we’re building an ecosystem that places
dignity and personhood at the center of design.”

The Precision Mobility Health Camp serves
as the foundational step toward building a statewide mobility accessibility
ecosystem. Key components of the initiative include:


 Structured
     mobility assessments
 Individualized
     hand and foot measurements
 Design
     of custom-fit mobility aids to enhance daily movement

By aligning government vision, corporate
innovation, technological design, and community mobilisation, the
initiative presents a scalable model for inclusion that can be replicated
across India.

</ol>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">International Validation: Global Experts, Indian Solutions</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">The International Technical Session featured luminaries:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><span>Dr. Peter Phiri (UK):</span><span> AVATAR VR-assisted therapy expert</span></p>

</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Their unanimous observation:</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> India's frameworks are more comprehensive than many Western equivalents—particularly UDAAN's emphasis on cultural adaptation, linguistic diversity, and community-centered care.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Dr. Phiri's Remark: </span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">"The UK's AI in health regulation is fragmented. India has the opportunity to leapfrog by building integrated, sector-specific frameworks from the start. UDAAN AI is that framework."</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Outcome-Oriented: Beyond Talk, Toward Action</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">What distinguished this summit from routine conferences was its actionable outputs:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">1. Frameworks Ready for Deployment:</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> UDAAN AI and Bharat Responsible AI Charter aren't aspirational—they're implementation-ready with defined assessment criteria, certification processes, and institutional homes.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">2. Institutional Commitments:</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> The Centre of Excellence, Emerging Technology Council, and AMHIF Fellows program have dedicated budgets, timelines, and leadership teams.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">3. Policy Pathways:</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> NHA's interest in MHAIMM certification creates a clear government adoption route—not hypothetical but probable.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">4. Ecosystem Activation:</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> 30-40 startups registering for Phase 1 of the Centre of Excellence network means implementation begins immediately, not in a distant "Phase 2."</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">5. Research Pipeline:</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> AMHIF's call for students generated enthusiastic response—fellowships will launch by Q1 2026, producing India's first cohort of AI-mental health governance experts.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Positioning The Summit as the Apex Platform</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Several factors establish the Global Summit on AI for Mental Health 2025 as the definitive annual gathering on this theme in India:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">1. Unmatched Convening Power:</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> No other forum has assembled Former Cabinet Secretaries, serving IAS officers, NHA/NITI Aayog/WHO leadership, international experts, and startup founders under one roof for a full day of structured deliberation.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">2. Concrete Deliverables:</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> Unlike talk-shops, this summit launched frameworks, signed charters, announced fellowships, and constituted councils.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">3. Government-Ecosystem Bridge:</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> By positioning bureaucratic wisdom (Shri Balvinder Kumar), ethical advocacy (Yash Arya), and futurist execution (Aman Bandvi) as co-leaders, the summit achieved legitimacy across constituencies.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">4. Bharat-Centric Discourse:</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> In an era of imported frameworks, the summit's India-native, culturally rooted approach resonated—filling a vacuum in policy discourse.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">5. Institutional Permanence:</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> With IC Centre for Governance as anchor and annual plans declared, this becomes a recurring national dialogue, not a one-off event.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Corporate &amp; Startup Ecosystem: From Spectators to Stakeholders</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">The summit succeeded in converting corporate and startup players from passive attendees to active governance partners.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Bank of Baroda (Presenting Partner):</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> India's leading PSU bank's participation signals growing recognition that mental health impacts workforce productivity—and AI-driven Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) need quality standards.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">CMR Green Technologies (Presenting Partner):</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> Their involvement reflects the sustainability-mental health nexus—climate anxiety, eco-distress—emerging areas where AI can play a role.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">Startup Signatories (WYSA, MindPeers, Lisners, TalktoAngel, UDAAN AI):</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> By signing the Bharat Responsible AI Charter, these companies voluntarily submitted to ethical scrutiny—a maturity rare in startup ecosystems typically averse to regulation.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">HR Association of India (represented by Dr. Vikas Vats):</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> The Association's presentation on </span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">"Human Intelligence 3.0"</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">—integrating AI, psychology, and ancient Indian cognitive science—demonstrated India's unique capacity to blend tradition with technology.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">BharatGPT's Vision:</span><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif"> Shri Taresh Verma's presentation positioned India as a global hub for multilingual, sovereign AI—aligning with the summit's Bharat-first ethos.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">The Global Summit on AI for Mental Health 2025 has unequivocally positioned itself as the apex forum on the subject. It successfully moved beyond deliberation to deliver a consensus-driven action plan, setting a definitive course for a future where India’s technological advancement is synonymous with its ethical commitment to the mental well-being of its billion-strong population.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span face="&quot;Gill Sans&quot;, sans-serif">The organizers are also thankful to gifting partners, KIWI Kisan Window and Indian Nurserymen Association.</span></p>

<title>From the Andes to the Atacama: Chile Beckons as Bollywood’s Next Cinematic Playground</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India], November 26 : For decades, Bollywood has chased beauty across the world — from the snow-laden Alps and the tulip fields of Europe to the turquoise coasts of Turkey and Thailand. But as Indian cinema continues to push boundaries, filmmakers are looking for new geographies that feel both cinematic and unexplored.Enter Chile — a South American gem where deserts meet glaciers, where volcanoes stand beside fjords, and where the landscape seems purpose-built for storytelling.The Land Where Every Frame is a SceneStretching across more than 4,200 kilometres of Pacific coastline, Chile’s geography reads like a director’s storyboard. Its slender mainland unfolds a cinematic range — from the world’s driest desert, the Atacama, with its red dunes and alien-like rock formations, to the lush valleys and vineyards of Central Chile, and down to the icy blues of Patagonia, one of the most photogenic corners of the planet. Whether you’re shooting a sci-fi thriller, a sweeping period drama, or a dreamy romantic sequence, Chile offers a visual spectrum that can double for multiple countries — all within one nation.The country’s diverse terrains have already caught the attention of global filmmakers, with productions such as Quantum of Solace, The Motorcycle Diaries, and The 33 filmed on Chilean soil. And now, Bollywood seems to be next in line.Behind this growing appeal lies an institutional effort to connect cultures through cinema. ProChile, the Government of Chile’s Export Promotion Bureau, has been actively promoting creative collaborations between Chile and India, highlighting film, fashion, and food as new pillars of partnership. “Chile isn’t just offering locations — it’s offering creative partnership. We want Indian filmmakers to see Chile as a country that understands storytelling, not just as a backdrop but as a co-creator of visual magic”, shares Trade Commissioner JORGE ANDRES LOYOLA CASTRO.A 35% Incentive to Bring Stories to LifeIt’s not just nature’s canvas that’s attracting attention — it’s the country’s proactive film policy. Through the Fondo de Inversión Audiovisual (Audiovisual Investment Fund), Chile offers financing of up to 35% of locally incurred production costs. This incentive is available to foreign production companies that cover the remaining budget, making it a strong financial motivator for international filmmakers.In addition, the Chilean Congress is in the process of approving new legislation that will include VAT reimbursement for foreign film projects, further reducing the overall cost of shooting in the country. Combined with a skilled local crew base, modern infrastructure, and government support, Chile is positioning itself as one of the most filmmaker-friendly destinations in Latin America.Why Bollywood Should Look SouthBollywood’s visual grammar thrives on scale, drama, and natural beauty — three things Chile has in abundance. The Atacama Desert alone offers backdrops unlike any other location in the world:Mars-like terrains are perfect for futuristic films or music videos.The Andes mountains are ideal for intense, high-altitude storytelling.Coastal cities like Valparaíso, with their colourful houses and steep hills, are ideal for romantic sequences or cultural montages.The southern region of Patagonia is a pristine wilderness made for grand, emotional cinema.Moreover, Chile’s time zone proximity to the U.S. West Coast and its English-speaking production support teams make coordination easier for global studios — an advantage for Indian producers exploring international co-productions and OTT projects.The New Frontier for Indian StorytellingAs Indian cinema evolves beyond borders — from Pathaan in Spain to Tiger 3 in Austria — producers are constantly seeking locations that feel fresh yet globally relevant. Chile fits this perfectly: it’s exotic but accessible, cinematic yet affordable. The combination of stunning natural diversity, government-backed financial incentives, and a welcoming production ecosystem makes Chile a logical next destination for Indian filmmakers ready to explore new visual languages. From Bollywood blockbusters to OTT originals and ad films, Chile offers a landscape that could redefine how India sees and shoots cinema abroad.For more information, please visit: https://www.prochile.gob.cl/en/herramientas/film-commission-at-prochile ]]></description>

New Delhi, November 26, 2025 : Masters’ Union, one of
India’s leading business and technology schools released its audited Placement
Report for the Post Graduate Programme in Technology &amp; Business Management
(PGPTBM) Cohort of 2025, reporting its strongest outcomes to date. The highest
annual compensation touched INR 1.28 crore, with 4 students
breaching the INR 1 crore annual compensation mark. The cohort’s INR
33.39 LPA average (median of INR 27.78 LPA) places Masters’ Union among the
highest across Tier-1 Indian business schools this year with the school also
securing 30 international offers, exceeding the combined
international offer count at Top IIMs.

Students received 1.42 offers on average,
reflecting strong hiring momentum across sectors. The top quartile of the
cohort reported an average of INR 54.80 LPA, underscoring depth in
compensation outcomes. A total of 64 campus drives were

Abdul Latif Jameel, IndusInd Bank, KPMG India, Reliance Infrastructure, Alvarez
&amp; Marsal, Accenture, and Kotak, extending offers to Masters’ Union

On the domestic front, compensation outcomes remained
strong, with a domestic average of INR 30.72 LPA, indicating
consistency across roles and sectors. Hiring spanned consulting, product
management, banking and financial services, consumer tech, venture capital, and
Founder’s Office positions across high-growth companies. A total of 23 students
stepped into strategic leadership-track roles across Founder’s Office, Chief of
Staff, and Entrepreneur-in-Residence portfolios, including 11 placed as Chief
of Staff. More than 90% of students accepted full-time offers before
the penultimate term, highlighting early and sustained recruiter demand.

Manoj Kohli, Chairman to the Board at Masters’
Union, said: “For a five-year-old
business school to surpass institutions like IIM Ahmedabad in key employment
outcomes, especially global placement opportunities, is a signal of a
structural shift in how industry perceives talent. This year, the number of
international offers generated even surpassed those of IIM Ahmedabad,
Bangalore, and Calcutta combined, a milestone that reflects the confidence
global employers place in our model. Our practitioner-led approach enables
students to build, experiment, and solve real problems. This year’s results
from the INR 1.28 crore annual compensation to unprecedented international
mobility and entrepreneurial outcomes reinforce that India is ready for a new
kind of B-school, one built for the future of work.”

Pratham Mittal, Founder, Masters’ Union, said: “This year, Masters’ Union has continued to raise
the bar, securing memberships in AACSB, EFMD Global and the BSIS Label, and
expanding our venture ecosystem alongside our global footprint. Our students
stepped into some of the most strategic roles in India and abroad, from
Founder’s Office to Chief of Staff. Quick Commerce companies alone extended 39
offers, while dropshipping revenues crossed INR 3.38 crore. As we look ahead,
our ambition is clear: attract more AI-focused companies, enable 30% of our
students to become job creators, and position Masters’ Union among the Top 10
global B-schools by 2030.

Abhishek Kaul, Director, Masters’ Union, added: “Our global presence reached new heights this year,
with 30 international offers across key economic corridors including the Middle
East, Europe, and North America. The highest annual compensation touched INR
1.28 crore, m ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/devx-launches-capital-one-touted-as-the-single-largest-managed-office-space-campus-across-tier-ii-cities</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The asset, spread across 19 floors
has already achieved 95% occupancy even before its official launch

Ahmedabad (Gujarat), 26th November 2025 : Dev Accelerator Limited (NSE: DEVX; BSE: 544513),
one of India’s leading enterprise-focused managed office space provider, today
announced the launch of Capital One in Ahmedabad, a 3.15 lakh sqft managed
office campus, that marks a defining moment in India’s commercial real estate
landscape. As the country’s single largest managed office space campus in a
Tier II city, Capital One demonstrates the accelerated shift of GCCs and
high-growth enterprises towards emerging business destinations like Ahmedabad.

Despite the scale of the development, Capital
One has already achieved 95% occupancy with technology, accounting and media
firms leading the pack. This robust pre-launch traction highlights the
rising demand for high-quality, flexible workplace solutions in Tier II cities
and underscores the growing confidence of global and domestic companies in
Ahmedabad’s talent base, infrastructure, and cost advantages. 

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Umesh
Uttamchandani, Managing Director, Dev Accelerator Limited, said,
“Capital One strengthens DevX’s position at the forefront of workplace
transformation across India’s emerging cities. With modern design principles,
advanced technology integration, and a focus on experience-led environments,
this campus represents the next wave of workspaces that enterprises
increasingly seek beyond Tier I hubs. With this launch, we are paving the way
for the next chapter of commercial real estate in Tier II India, offering
companies a scalable, future-ready, and high-value workplace ecosystem, with a
significant cost advantage.”

Designed as a holistic workplace ecosystem, the 3.15
lakh sq. ft. campus integrates a thoughtfully curated range of amenities aimed
at enhancing convenience, wellbeing and day-to-day productivity for its
tenants. DevX has incorporated multiple lifestyle and wellness-led elements,
including a fully managed cafeteria, coffee lounge, breakout zones, an on-site
creche, game zone, gymnasium and dedicated yoga area, to create an environment
that supports both work and rejuvenation. The campus further offers shared
conference and meeting facilities, an event space, prayer and medical rooms, as
well as added conveniences like an in-house salon and car wash area, ensuring a
seamless and experience-driven workspace for all occupants.

As India’s business geography becomes more
distributed, enterprises are prioritizing integrated, experience-led work
environments that support productivity and help attract and retain talent.
Capital One has been crafted for this demand, combining scale with the
advantages of a fully managed workspace model that reduces operational burdens
for occupiers.

<title>For the First Time in Maharashtra, 59 Mumukshus Receive Auspicious Jain Diksha Muhurat; Over 5,000 Devotees Attend</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Maharashtra witnessed a historic spiritual moment on
23 November, as 59 Mumukshus received the auspicious Muhurat for Collective
Diksha for the first time in the state. The grand ceremony was held in the
divine presence of Jain Acharya Somsoondersurisji, Shreyansprabhsurisji, and
Yogatilaksurisji. More than 200 Shraman Bhagwants and 500+ Shramani Bhagwants
graced the occasion.

Over 5,000 devotees gathered inside a massive 14,000
sq. ft. pandal, with several dignitaries including Mangal Prabhat Lodha and Bharat
Shah, along with many guests, marking their presence. The event was sponsored
by renowned philanthropist Shri Babulalji Mishrimalji Bhansali.

The 5-day Diksha Ceremony will be organised from 4
February 2026 to 8 February 2026 in Borivali (West), Mumbai, by the
organisation Adhyatma Parivar. The Mumukshus have come from Gujarat,
Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and even from the United
States. Among them are 18 men and 41 women, all inspired by the teachings and
spiritual guidance of Acharya Yogatilaksurisji.

The youngest among them is 7-year-old Tahtiben
Sameerbhai Shah, while the oldest Mumukshu is 70-year-old Harkchandji Bachraji
Bhansali, a stainless-steel businessman. More than 15 highly educated
youngsters, including NRI seekers, have also chosen to renounce worldly
life—among them are Sujataben Rajanbhai Vohra (66 years, USA) and Sangeetaben
Sanjaybhai Shah (63 years). From Raipur, members of a single family—Ashishbhai,
Aryanbhai, Ayushbhai (14 years) and Rituben—will take Diksha. Other notable
names include Harshilbhai (Mumbai CA), Jainambhai (IT Engineer, Mumbai), and
Sakshiben (PhD Physics, Hinganghat, Nagpur).

Acharya Yogatilaksurisji holds a uniquely revered
place in the Jain community. He is the only Jain Acharya to have bestowed over
350 Dikshas in the past 10 years, and currently has more than 100 disciples,
considered an extraordinary accomplishment in Jain Dharma.

With the presence of Mumukshus from various Indian
states and the USA, thousands of devotees, and highly respected Jain Acharyas,
this collective Diksha Muhurat became a moment of pride, devotion, and
spiritual radiance for the entire Jain community. ]]></description>

<title>Love in the Layers: HUFT’s Winter Collection Is Here to Make Life Magical for Pets and Their People</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

New Delhi, November 2025 : India’s gearing up for a colder winter, and the change is already
in the air. From your dog’s misty breath during early morning walks, your cat
curled up by the window soaking the sunlight, or the sound of sweaters being
pulled from the cupboard, everything feels a little crisper, a little cosier,
and a lot more magical. For pet parents, these are the moments that define the
season. 

This year, Heads
Up For Tails (HUFT) invites families to turn those simple moments into
cherished memories with its new Make It Magical Winter
Collection, designed to celebrate everything we love about this season, and
everyone we share it with.

Built around the idea that winter isn’t just a season,
but a stage for everyday magic, the collection brings together comfort, care,
and a touch of wonder. Think lightweight sweatshirts, perfect for those crisp
morning garden walks, soft knit sweaters for lazy chai-time snuggles, padded
jackets for the four-legged adventurers who insist on one more round through
the park, and then slowly doze off on comfy, snug, dog beds and
blankets. 

Every piece in the range has been thoughtfully
designed to fit Indian dogs and cats’ real winter routines, so pets can move
easily, stay warm, and look effortlessly stylish through it all.

“This winter, we wanted to create a design-forward
collection where style meets comfort. Every piece is thoughtfully crafted to
keep pets cosy, with a variety of fits to suit every pet parent’s preference,
from high or low necklines and sleeveless to full-sleeve sweaters, to
sweatshirts with or without hoods. 

Our jackets offer optimal coverage without
restricting movement, perfected with adjustable straps and zip guards for added
safety. For winter snuggles, we’ve designed ultra-soft blankets, beds with
raised edges, and cushioned mats made with pet-friendly fabrics that balance warmth,
breathability, and comfort,” says Geetanjali Rastogi, Creative
Director, Heads Up For Tails.

Beyond clothing, the Make It Magical line
extends into a world of soft-touch comfort with plush beds, velvet mats, and
fleece-lined blankets, turning every nap into a little luxury. From curling up
under the heater during family cricket matches to dozing through a Sunday
picnic, each design reflects HUFT’s signature balance of style, warmth, and
pet-first design thinking.

“Winter has this quiet beauty that’s best
experienced together, like the walks, the cuddles, the little rituals that make
life feel warmer,” says Rashi Narang, Founder of Heads Up For Tails.
“We wanted this collection to capture that feeling, to help pet parents
create those everyday moments of magic. Because winter isn’t just about the
cold, it’s about connection, love, and all the ways our pets make the season
come alive.”

With Make It Magical, each piece, whether
it’s a sweatshirt, sweater, or blanket, becomes a small way to say, I
see you, I love you, stay warm. Because when it comes to our pets, the most
magical winter moments aren’t found, they’re made together.

collection by Heads Up For Tails, download the catalogue here.  ]]></description>

<title>Rampur 1943 Virasat: Radico Khaitan&amp;apos;s Tribute to Heritage and Tradition</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rampur-1943-virasat-radico-khaitans-tribute-to-heritage-and-tradition</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/rampur-1943-virasat-radico-khaitans-tribute-to-heritage-and-tradition</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, November 26, 2025 : Radico Khaitan Limited,
one of India’s most respected and pioneering distillers, proudly announces the
launch of Rampur 1943 Virasat. The brand literally carries forward the soul of
Rampur Distillery, an institution with a legacy since 1943, where tradition and
innovation come together to create spirits of depth, warmth, and character.

Where Tradition Meets Modernity 

Crafted at the foothills of the Himalayas, Rampur 1943
Virasat is made from carefully selected six-row Indian barley, known for its
bold flavour and richness. Distilled in newly designed pot stills with
intelligent refinements, the spirit retains Rampur’s signature DNA while evolving
a refined and contemporary identity.

The spirit is first matured in American Bourbon
Barrels and then finished in Ruby Port Pipes, yielding layers of complexity
shaped by Rampur’s dramatic North Indian climate, from 45°C summers to 2°C
winters, accelerating maturation and imparting unmatched depth.

Rampur 1943 Virasat matures in carefully selected
casks that cradle the liquid as the Indian seasons weave their magic: the
monsoons temper, the scorching summers deepen, and the crisp winters refine.
Each passing year adds another dimension, enriching the spirit and honouring
the legacy it represents.

 

A Journey Through Flavour and Heritage

Rampur 1943 Virasat opens with sweet vanilla, caramel,
and toasted oak, followed by richness and tropical fruits, before culminating
in red berries, stewed fruits, silky spice and lingering, elegant sweetness
from its Ruby Port Pipe finish. The result is an elegant, full-bodied spirit
that celebrates both nature and craftsmanship, a legacy distilled.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Abhishek Khaitan, Managing
Director, Radico Khaitan, said: “Rampur 1943 Virasat represents the timeless
heritage of our distillery and the enduring passion that defines Indian spirit
craftsmanship. It pays tribute to our journey since 1943, a story of
authenticity, innovation, and excellence, while inviting spirit lovers to
experience India’s heritage in every sip.”

Reflecting on the craftsmanship behind the new launch,
Mr. Amar Sinha, Chief Operating Officer, Radico Khaitan, added: “With Rampur
1943 Virasat, we wanted to make the artistry of Indian heritage spirits
accessible to a broader audience. Every element, from barley to barrel,
reflects our commitment to quality and innovation. This spirit is shaped by the
extremes of Rampur’s climate and the dedication of our people.”

Priced between ₹3,500 and ₹4,500 per bottle, this
heritage spirit will be first rolled out in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Delhi
before expanding nationwide. Rampur 1943 Virasat celebrates India’s rich
distilling heritage while embodying a new era of artistry and craftsmanship
from the house of Rampur. ]]></description>

<title>Naushad Academy of Hindustani Sangeet Hosts a Mesmerising Flute &amp;Tabla Jugalbandi</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/naushad-academy-of-hindustani-sangeet-hosts-a-mesmerising-flute-tabla-jugalbandi</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/naushad-academy-of-hindustani-sangeet-hosts-a-mesmerising-flute-tabla-jugalbandi</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  From Left to
Right: Anutosh Degharia, Rehman Naushad, Uttam Singh, Gurmeet Singh and Rakesh
Chaurasia

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 24: On 21st November 2025, Naushad Academy of Hindustani Sangeet
presented an evening that felt more like a gentle invocation of the timeless
soul of Indian classical music than a concert. In a world increasingly shaped
by technology, speed, and distraction, the Academy once again illuminated its
purpose - quietly, steadfastly, and with an almost devotional sincerity by
creating a space where purity of sound and depth of tradition could breathe.

The stage belonged to two acclaimed maestros: legendary
flautist Pandit Rakesh Chaurasia and distinguished tabla
virtuoso Anutosh Degharia. Their jugalbandi unfolded like a
conversation between wind and earth - serene, responsive, and alive
with artistic brilliance.

The evening commenced with the flute emerging softly, as
though rising out of silence itself. Each note carried clarity and warmth,
drawing listeners inward. The opening alap unfurled with the tenderness of dawn
stretching across a quiet horizon. Subtle inflexions of breath and tone created
an atmosphere where music felt less like performance and more like emotion
taking form - reminiscent of raindrops meeting the earth - delicate, unhurried,
yet profoundly moving.

When Anutosh Degharia’s tabla entered, it did so with grace
and intentional restraint, offering rhythm not as support but as dialogue.
At times it mirrored the flute’s flow, at times it questioned it, and at
times it lifted it into new textures. Together, the duo demonstrated the
pure essence of jugalbandi - two voices in conversation, co-creating,
responding, and elevating one another.

The recital journeyed through three classical
Raagas, each chosen to evoke its own emotional universe:


 Raag Madhuvanti opened
     the evening with a sense of peace, evoking the mellow tenderness of late
     afternoon light.
 Raag Desh followed,
     stirring warmth and nostalgia, its phrases reminiscent of monsoons,
     homeland, and centuries of living tradition.
 The programme concluded
     with Raag Bhairavi, a meditative finale that offered closure - not through
     silence, but through serenity.


A highlight of the performance was an improvised rhythmic
interplay where the flute’s high, crystalline phrases intertwined with
agile tabla bols in a vibrant, almost playful conversation. As the
tempo slowly ascended from contemplative to spirited, the audience
responded with palpable appreciation - a testament to the mastery and
chemistry of both musicians.

In a deeply emotional moment, Shri Rehman Naushad shared a
cherished memory from family history: a young Naushad, merely thirteen, walking
with his maternal uncle to the “Urs” of “Haji Waris Ali Shah” in Barabanki,
Uttar Pradesh. Amidst the spiritual fervour, a lone flautist played a melody
gentle yet unforgettable. Young Naushad first listened with curiosity, then was
entranced, and then finally changed forever. It was in that moment that Rehman
Naushad reflected that the seed of a future music maestro was planted.

Legendary Music Composer Shri Uttam Singh shared a warm
tribute to Rakesh Chaurasia, noting how his tone, artistry, and musical
brilliance carry forward the grace of his uncle, the legendary Pandit
Hariprasad Chaurasia. With fondness, he recalled having both maestros perform
for him over the years – an association he cherishes deeply.

Esteemed Music Composer-Producer, son of Uttam Singh, Shri
Gurmeet Singh, added his reflections, recalling that Rakesh had performed
plenty of solos in his compositions since 1999. What began as a collaboration
evolved into a bond he described as a family friend. He noted that Rakesh’s
artistry has only grown richer with time and stands today at an exceptional
zenith.

As the final note dissolved into stillness, the
audience held a reflective silence - the kind that lingers only
when music touches something beyond the senses. It was not just a
performance, it was an experience that reaffirmed Mumbai’s connection to
classical tradition and the enduring transformative power of live music.

In an era dominated by fast-changing trends and
technology-driven consumption, Naushad Academy continues to serve as a
custodian of heritage, holding its flame steadfastly even in the winds of
modernity.

Through consistent events and artist collaborations, the
Academy has become a sanctuary for lovers of Hindustani classical music. This
unwavering commitment is made possible by the dedication of its trustees, who
carry forward the vision with sincerity and perseverance.

The
event was presented under the guidance and expertise of the

Academy’s permanent trustees:


 Shri Rehman Naushad –
     President
 Shri Uttam Singh –
     Secretary
 Shri Gurmeet Singh –
     Treasurer
 Smt Shehnaaz Parveen
     Mutiur Rehman – Trustee ]]></description>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p><em><span lang="EN-US">From Left to Right: Anutosh Degharia, Rehman Naushad, Uttam Singh, Gurmeet Singh and Rakesh Chaurasia</span></em><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 24</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">: On 21st November 2025, Naushad Academy of Hindustani Sangeet presented an evening that felt more like a gentle invocation of the timeless soul of Indian classical music than a concert. In a world increasingly shaped by technology, speed, and distraction, the Academy once again illuminated its purpose - quietly, steadfastly, and with an almost devotional sincerity by creating a space where purity of sound and depth of tradition could breathe.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">The stage belonged to two acclaimed maestros: legendary flautist Pandit Rakesh Chaurasia and distinguished tabla virtuoso Anutosh Degharia. Their jugalbandi unfolded like a conversation between wind and earth - serene, responsive, and alive with artistic brilliance.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">The evening commenced with the flute emerging softly, as though rising out of silence itself. Each note carried clarity and warmth, drawing listeners inward. The opening alap unfurled with the tenderness of dawn stretching across a quiet horizon. Subtle inflexions of breath and tone created an atmosphere where music felt less like performance and more like emotion taking form - reminiscent of raindrops meeting the earth - delicate, unhurried, yet profoundly moving.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">When Anutosh Degharia’s tabla entered, it did so with grace and intentional restraint, offering rhythm not as support but as dialogue. At times it mirrored the flute’s flow, at times it questioned it, and at times it lifted it into new textures. Together, the duo demonstrated the pure essence of jugalbandi - two voices in conversation, co-creating, responding, and elevating one another.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><span lang="EN-US">The recital journeyed through three classical Raagas, each chosen to evoke its own emotional universe:</span></strong><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">Raag Madhuvanti opened the evening with a sense of peace, evoking the mellow tenderness of late afternoon light.</span></span>
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">Raag Desh followed, stirring warmth and nostalgia, its phrases reminiscent of monsoons, homeland, and centuries of living tradition.</span></span>
<p></p>
</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">The programme concluded with Raag Bhairavi, a meditative finale that offered closure - not through silence, but through serenity.</span></span>
<p></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span lang="EN-US">A highlight of the performance was an improvised rhythmic interplay where the flute’s high, crystalline phrases intertwined with agile tabla bols in a vibrant, almost playful conversation. As the tempo slowly ascended from contemplative to spirited, the audience responded with palpable appreciation - a testament to the mastery and chemistry of both musicians.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">In a deeply emotional moment, Shri Rehman Naushad shared a cherished memory from family history: a young Naushad, merely thirteen, walking with his maternal uncle to the “Urs” of “Haji Waris Ali Shah” in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh. Amidst the spiritual fervour, a lone flautist played a melody gentle yet unforgettable. Young Naushad first listened with curiosity, then was entranced, and then finally changed forever. It was in that moment that Rehman Naushad reflected that the seed of a future music maestro was planted.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Legendary Music Composer Shri Uttam Singh shared a warm tribute to Rakesh Chaurasia, noting how his tone, artistry, and musical brilliance carry forward the grace of his uncle, the legendary Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. With fondness, he recalled having both maestros perform for him over the years – an association he cherishes deeply.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[  

Bangalore, India : Aditi
Aggarwal (GTM Unbound), in collaboration with Shivam Desai
(CorridorX) and Phalgun Chidanand (The Drafting Room),
successfully hosted the US–India AI Summit: Bangalore on 21 November at
Workhome, bringing together 250+ founders and investors shaping the future of
AI across the US–India corridor.

The summit witnessed an energetic turnout from the AI
community and facilitated cross-border conversations, product showcases, and
high-value networking reinforcing Bangalore’s position as a growing hub in the
global AI landscape. 

Event Highlights

The summit opened with a series of product
demonstrations from six emerging AI founders, three of which
travelled from the US. The demos offered a first look at AI-native
solutions being built for enterprise adoption, productivity acceleration and
global expansion.

Then came the surprise segment of the night — The Investor Pitch where
gears were reversed by 180 degrees from the sessions held just before.


Senior leaders from Antler, Stellaris, Avataar
Venture Partners, Let’s venture and several
respected angels stood up and spoke with a level of honesty and clarity that is
rarely seen in public settings. It shifted the tone of the evening in
the best possible way, offering founders a candid look into how leading
investors evaluate opportunities, build conviction, and differentiate
themselves beyond capital. The room featured founders from Finstackk, XFlow,
and Efficient Capital Labs alongside 19 VCs shaping AI-driven innovation across
the US–India corridor, including Peak XV Ventures, Bajaj Ventures, Chiratae
Ventures, Leo Capital, LVX Ventures, Sangam Ventures, Axilor, 2.2 Club, and
Tykhe Block Ventures.

This was followed by an investor panel featuring Aakash Kumar
(Z47/Matrix), Ankit Chowdhary (South Park Commons) and Varsha Jalan
(Khaitan Legal Associates). The panel examined current shifts in AI
funding, emerging opportunities across the US–India corridor, and the types of
companies best positioned to shape the next wave of AI adoption. The discussion
offered practical insights for early-stage founders planning global expansion.
The evening concluded with a networking session that enabled founders and
investors to exchange perspectives and explore potential collaborations. The
conversations underscored Bangalore’s growing importance as a centre for
AI-first innovation.

 

A Collaborative Effort

The summit was presented by GTM Unbound, CorridorX,
and The Drafting Room, in collaboration with AWS,
Newsreach, Brandstory Digital, Commenda, Khaitan Legal Associates and Proposal
GPT.

<title>Axis Max Life launches BSE 500 Dividend Leaders 50 Index Pension Fund to drive long&amp;term, dividend&amp;led retirement corpus</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, November 25, 2025 : Axis Max Life
Insurance Limited, formerly known as Max Life Insurance Company Limited
(“Axis Max Life”/“Company”), has launched the BSE 500 Dividend
Leaders 50 Index Pension Fund (SFIN: ULIF04017/11/25PENDIVLEAD104), a
passively managed pension fund designed to help customers build retirement
wealth through a transparent, factor-based equity strategy. The fund taps into
a portfolio of companies that have demonstrated consistent cash flows and the
ability to navigate market cycles.

The fund is available to new policyholders of
the Axis Max Life Forever Young Pension Plan (A Unit-Linked
Non-Participating Individual Pension Plan) (UIN:  104L075V07),
enabling them to combine life cover with disciplined market-linked retirement
wealth creation under a single integrated solution. The Index Fund will be
available at a Net Asset Value (NAV) of ₹10 per unit during the New Fund Offer
(NFO) period until December 1, 2025.

At a time when long-term retirement planning is
gaining urgency, this passive pension fund offers customers a rules-based,
bias-free approach by tracking the BSE 500 Dividend Leaders 50 Index. The index
comprises 50 companies from the BSE 500 that rank highest on a normalized
dividend yield score and meet stringent eligibility criteria including
decade-long dividend track records and stable listing history. The index
strategy is transparent, diversified across sectors like Energy, Information
Technology, and Commodities, and mandates an equity allocation of 80% to 100%,
positioning it perfectly for long-term value creation. The result is a
portfolio tilted towards financially disciplined businesses that have
historically delivered sustained value creation.

Sachin Bajaj, Executive Vice President and Chief
Investments Officer, Axis Max Life, said, “Dividend-yield
leaders have historically shown resilience across economic cycles, and this is
particularly relevant in today’s uncertain macro environment. By focusing on
high dividend yield, a metric often indicative of solid fundamentals, we are
providing our policyholders with a long-term equity allocation that offers the
potential for outperformance and downside protection compared to the broader
market, making it an ideal anchor for a truly secured retirement journey. We
believe this fund will strengthen our customers’ ability to stay invested
through cycles and build a dependable corpus for their later years.”

The new offering draws strength from the underlying
index - the BSE 500 Dividend Leaders 50 Index, which has historically
demonstrated its potential to generate superior returns. The fund thereby presents
a compelling option for customers seeking long-term equity exposure for
retirement, while balancing concentration risk through sectoral and stock-level
diversification.

<title>Tata AIA Introduces Param Raksha Life Pro+ with Advanced Features for Comprehensive Protection</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/tata-aia-introduces-param-raksha-life-pro-with-advanced-features-for-comprehensive-protection</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/tata-aia-introduces-param-raksha-life-pro-with-advanced-features-for-comprehensive-protection</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  


Tata AIA Life Insurance, one of India&#039;s
renowned life insurers, presents Param Raksha Life Pro+, a comprehensive life
and wealth solution. Designed for today’s customers, the plan addresses the
evolving life protection and investment needs of individuals. It also includes
valuable incentives for wellness. Param Raksha Life Pro+ combines life coverage
with market-linked returns. This combination offers a dual benefit structure.
It secures the future while offering potential wealth growth.



Key Highlights of Param Raksha Life
Pro+

Market-linked Wealth Creation: Invest in a
wide range of Tata AIA Funds (Equity, Debt, Balanced) to grow your wealth based
on your risk appetite. 

Unlimited Free Fund Switching: Flexibility
to switch between funds at no additional cost, anytime during the policy term.

Comprehensive Life Cover: Get financial
protection to secure your family with a high sum assured in case of unfortunate
demise.

Terminal Illness Cover: Advance payout of
10% of sum assured on diagnosis of a terminal illness with term booster

Accidental Disability Cover: Comprehensive
cover in case of disability due to an accident

Accidental Death Cover: Comprehensive cover
in case of death due to an accident



Param Raksha Life Pro+, a well-designed life
insurance plan, which ensures
comprehensive financial protection. It ensures that the policyholder’s family
is safeguarded. The plan includes a substantial life cover benefit. This cover
provides a crucial lump sum payment. This is paid if the life insured passes
away during the policy term.



This lump sum amount helps families
immediately replace lost income. It ensures that they can maintain their
current quality of life. The funds can also help settle outstanding debts or
loans. This vital benefit ensures the family’s long-term financial stability
remains secure.

In addition to life cover, the plan also
includes accidental disability protection. A lump sum is payable if a total and
permanent disability occurs. This financial aid can help cover costs such as
long-term care. It may also assist with recovery expenses or loss of income.



A special feature is the Terminal Illness
benefit. This benefit pays out a portion of the death sum assured early. This
occurs upon the diagnosis of a specified terminal illness. This early payment
offers critical financial support and helps reduce immediate family medical
costs during a difficult time, much like the flexibility offered by
comprehensive term insurance products. This payment helps bring down the financial
burden when it is needed most. 



Policyholders can select from various
limited premium payment terms. Payment terms may start as low as five years.
This flexibility helps align payments with the customer’s earnings.

The maximum maturity age for life cover is
up to 100 years of age. Entry is allowed for individuals between 18 and 65
years. This makes the plan accessible to a wide customer base. It serves young
professionals and middle-aged individuals planning long-term security.



The investment component of the plan is
linked to market performance. Premiums paid toward the investment portion are
allocated to funds professionally managed by Tata AIA Life Insurance. This
offers policyholders the opportunity to build wealth over time. Depending on
the fund&#039;s selection and market performance, this component can generate
potential returns and help meet future financial goals like retirement or a
child’s education.



The premiums paid towards this policy may
qualify for tax deductions. The tax benefits will be applicable as per the
prevailing tax laws. Customers should consult a tax advisor on the latest
benefit rules.

All these benefits together make Param
Raksha Life Pro+ a comprehensive offering. It provides protection in the event
of an unforeseen incident. It also offers wealth generation potential. The
added wellness incentives encourage customers to maintain good health. 



Param Raksha Life Pro+ is designed for
combination of benefits of following individual and separate products named (1)
Tata AIA Smart Sampoorna Raksha Supreme Unit Linked, Non-Participating
Individual Life Insurance Plan (UIN: 110L179V02) and (2) Tata AIA Health Buddy,
Non-Participating, Non-Linked, Individual Health Product (UIN: 110N183V01).
These products are also available for sale individually without the combination
offered/ suggested. This benefit illustration is the arithmetic combination and
chronological listing of combined benefits of individual products. The customer
is advised to refer the detailed sales brochure of respective individual
products mentioned herein before concluding sale.

<title>Director Sammir I. Patel Unveils ‘Sansani’: A Thriller&amp;Comedy Built for the Digital Age</title>

<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/director-sammir-i-patel-unveils-sansani-a-thriller-comedy-built-for-the-digital-age</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai :
As digital platforms reshape Indian cinema, acclaimed writer-director Sammir I.
Patel announces his boldest project yet: Sansani (Bachelorette Party Gone
Wild), a thriller-comedy crafted to redefine entertainment for a new
generation. Presented by SIP Productions, the film exemplifies Patel’s
visionary approach to storytelling in the OTT era.

A
Director Rooted in Classics, Driven by the Future
“My heart still belongs to the timeless classics of Hrishikesh Mukherjee —
Chupke Chupke remains my eternal favourite,” says Patel. “At the same time, I’m
deeply inspired by modern masters like Sriram Raghavan; his Andhadhun is the
gold standard of thriller-comedy. Sansani lives in that sweet spot where
laughter and suspense collide.”

The
Birth of a ‘Gen-Z Don’
The film introduces one of the year’s most original characters — a
slang-slinging ‘Gen-Z Don’ played by veteran actor and co-producer Brijendra
Kala. “We wanted to shatter every gangster stereotype,” Patel explains.
“Imagine a wannabe politician who speaks in memes, calculates every move, and
rules with ice-cold swag. Writing this role for Brijendra ji — our eighth
collaboration since our theatre days — has been pure magic.”

Jinnal:
An Actor to Watch
Newcomer Chetsi Rene plays the glamorous yet ghost-phobic Jinnal. “My first
audition take was embarrassing,” she laughs, “but Sammir Sir’s guidance turned
it around. When I came back to read for Jinnal, everything just clicked.”
Rene adds, “Working with Sir is unique — he lets actors co-create their
characters. He spotted my dance background and even trusted me to choreograph
my sequences. Jinnal is everything I’m not — I’m not scared of ghosts at all! —
yet everything I understand. She&#039;s a nerdy fashionista who’s both dramatic and
vulnerable.”

Two
High-Impact Films Every Year
Sansani marks a strategic pivot for SIP Productions. “The digital space demands
pace and freshness,” Patel declares. “We’re now committed to producing two
tight-budget, high-impact films annually — with limited locations, fresh
talent, and insane schedules. These constraints are our rocket fuel.”
The project also launched the careers of four debutantes — Chetsi Rene, Richa
Jain, Shatakshi Kiran, and Hunar Thethi — through an intensive two-month acting
and personality bootcamp. “We didn’t just teach acting; we built fire,
attitude, and consistency,” says Patel.

When
Music Tells the Story
True to form, Patel also serves as the film’s composer and lyricist. “The songs
in Sansani aren’t add-ons — they’re narrative engines. The music was born
alongside the script.”

Sansani
(Bachelorette Party Gone Wild) — produced by SIP Productions and co-produced by
Brijendra Kala, Zoheb Patel, and Satya Super Sound — will premiere exclusively
on a leading OTT platform in 2026.

A
storyteller who effortlessly juggles writing, directing, composing, and
producing, Patel’s career spans hit theatre productions (Baat Baat Mein Bigdey Halaat),
iconic television shows (Yeh Chanda Kanoon Hai, co-creator of Bhabhiji Ghar Par
Hai), and films like Hotel Beautifool, PFA: Love Mom &amp; Dad, and the
award-winning Milenge Jannat Mein. With Sansani, he continues to create
addictive, generation-next narratives. ]]></description>

<title>Viral #WashTheDabba campaign brings global recognition for Bengaluru’s waste pickers</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/viral-washthedabba-campaign-brings-global-recognition-for-bengalurus-waste-pickers</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/viral-washthedabba-campaign-brings-global-recognition-for-bengalurus-waste-pickers</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, 24 November 2025 : #WashTheDabba campaign, which captured the hearts and minds of the
city, has now earned international acclaim by winning the prestigious Anthem
Awards. This behaviour change communication initiative was honoured in the 5th
edition of the Anthem Awards with a Gold in the Sustainability,
Environment, and Diversity category, and a Silver in Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion.

Created by BBC Media Action, #WashTheDabba—encouraging
people to empty, rinse, and dry plastic food containers before disposal—turned
into a city-wide movement. It sparked vital conversations about the impact of
unclean food containers on waste pickers and the recyclability of dry waste.
The campaign highlights the critical role of waste pickers in the waste value
chain and demonstrates how small, mindful actions can prevent tonnes of
recyclable material from ending up in landfills. It was echoed, amplified and
referenced by leading actors, artists, influencers, institutions, municipal
bodies and leading businesses and corporate leaders.

Described by The New York Times as the
“Internet’s highest honour,” the Anthem Awards are presented by the
International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences and judged by a
distinguished jury. This year’s honourees also included notable figures such as
Paris Hilton, athlete Frances Tiafoe, and philanthropists Tim Gill and Scott
Miller. The awards celebrate excellence, setting a new benchmark for social
impact work that inspires action within communities.

Speaking about the win, Soma Katiyar,
Executive Creative Director, BBC Media Action India, said: “The
Anthem Awards are an ode to our waste pickers and a tribute to them, who
despite their valuable contributions have remained under the shroud of
invisibility. #WashTheDabba flips that story by restoring their dignity,
reshaping perceptions and shifting power. It is time that we ensure that waste
pickers are treated as environmental stewards and equal partners in city’s
waste management.”

#WashTheDabba was an integrated campaign that
positioned food as the protagonist, reaching an estimated 3.2 million people
across Bengaluru. The campaign combined social media, out-of-home activations,
reminder messages on 136,000 food containers, digital screens in 65 apartment
complexes, and direct outreach. A third-party evaluation conducted at the end
of 2024 revealed that 44% of respondents in Bengaluru could recall the campaign
without prompting, and 60% of them reported adopting the behaviour of washing
plastic food containers before disposal. Waste pickers at Dry Waste Collection
Centres also confirmed a noticeable improvement in the cleanliness of food
boxes they received.

Maria Bystedt, Programme Director, H&amp;M
Foundation, said, “This award is a powerful
call to action. Waste pickers are not just critical to the waste value chain;
they are key enablers of a circular economy. As we move toward decarbonising
our systems, we must ensure that this transition is inclusive and just. Waste
pickers deserve not only recognition but also a voice and a seat at the table.
#WashTheDabba exemplifies how circular solutions can be both inclusive and
equitable.”

Speaking about BBC Media Action’s mission to use the
power of communication to help people and communities make informed choices,
challenge harmful norms, and build resilience, Varinder Kaur Gambhir,
Country Director, India, BBC Media Action, said,
“#WashTheDabba is a powerful example of how creative storytelling and
community-designed communication can spark everyday behaviour change. We are
deeply grateful to the Anthem Awards for this recognition, and to the H&amp;M
Foundation for their sustained faith and partnership. Their support makes it
possible for us to keep pushing the boundaries of inclusive, people-first
development.

BBC Media Action’s campaign is part of its #Invaluables
initiative under Saamuhika Shakti—a first-of-its-kind collaborative effort,
where 11 partners, with funding support from the H&amp;M Foundation, have
joined forces to enable waste pickers to have greater agency to lead secure and
dignified lives.

“This has been a challenging year for the impact
sector, but the Winners of the 5th Annual Anthem Awards have shown their
resilience and continued commitment to a better tomorrow,” said
Anthem Awards General Manager, Patricia McLoughlin. “This year’s
winners are a source of hope, and I am excited to celebrate their work with the
world today.”

<title>NimbleEdge Contributes to Microsoft’s Foundry Local, Unlocking Next&amp;Gen On&amp;Device AI for Android</title>
<link>https://www.indiadazzle.com/nimbleedge-contributes-to-microsofts-foundry-local-unlocking-next-gen-on-device-ai-for-android</link>
<guid>https://www.indiadazzle.com/nimbleedge-contributes-to-microsofts-foundry-local-unlocking-next-gen-on-device-ai-for-android</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, 24 November, 2025 : NimbleEdge, the on-device AI infrastructure company reshaping how
intelligence runs on mobile, today announced its collaboration with Microsoft
in bringing Foundry Local to Android, revealed on stage at Microsoft
Ignite 2025 in San Francisco. The launch marks a major leap for the
global developer community, enabling truly powerful, low-latency,
privacy-preserved AI to run directly on smartphones at scale.

One of India’s largest digital payments platforms has
become the first enterprise to adopt Foundry Local for Android, enabling it to
bring agentic experiences into everyday consumer applications while preserving
user privacy. 

Foundry Local introduces optimized small language
models to Android, allowing developers to build agentic apps that reason,
respond, and collaborate with users in real time. By executing models locally
through a unified, optimized runtime, Foundry Local ensures that intelligence
stays on the device, resulting in low-latency performance, offline reliability,
and privacy-aware architecture.

Rajat Monga, CVP, AI Frameworks, Microsoft, stated, “At Microsoft, we believe the next breakthrough
in AI lies not only in building smarter models, but in making AI scalable,
efficient, and accessible. With Foundry Local for Android, built with
contributions from NimbleEdge, we’re unlocking a future where developers can
build real-time AI native app experiences with powerful, low-latency
intelligence on users’ phones.” 

NimbleEdge is contributing in shaping Microsoft’s
Foundry Local into a secure, on-device AI layer - described as a “mini AI
server inside your phone.” The two companies have a long-standing
collaboration, starting from the ONNX runtime to scaling deployments to 30M+
devices. NimbleEdge architected the background service that handles robust
long-running SLM downloads, shared resources, and inference over a secure-bound
AIDL service with mutual certificate verification, across diverse Android
devices. NimbleEdge’s DeliteAI works with Foundry Local to simplify deployment
and scaling challenges, while orchestrating real-time agentic workflows on user
interactions.

Neeraj Poddar, Co-founder &amp; CTO,
NimbleEdge, shares that “This
collaboration brings our core mission to life: enabling real-time, on-device AI
for billions of users. With Foundry Local on Android, developers can offer
secure and personalized experiences without the cost and latency of cloud-based
inference. We’re excited to see global developers across the world build the
next generation of mobile AI applications.”

Baked from witnessing high-frequency event streams on
edge devices, DeliteAI, by working with Foundry Local provides developers with
key advantages in:


 In-session
     Context Engineering: Capture and process event
     streams directly from the user interface for real-time context.
 Advanced
     Agent Orchestration: Facilitate agent
     orchestration, prompt templating, tool calling, persistent memory, and
     voice interactions.
 Unified
     Performance: Ensure consistent performance
     across various hardware, along with cross-compatible cloud-edge inference
     APIs.

“The next wave of AI will be driven by agents that
collaborate in real time with humans and other AI agents alike - and that
requires an on-device architecture,” said Varun
Khare, Co-founder &amp; CEO, NimbleEdge. “At
NimbleEdge, we’ve been building the infrastructure catering to the needs of
mobile and edge devices. By unifying fragmentation across devices, chipsets,
and operating systems, Foundry Local and DeliteAI support developers in
deploying AI agents locally while upholding user privacy.” 

On-device intelligence is, by design, more supportive
of a dynamic, evolving environment found in modern mobile applications. The
collaboration envisions a global shift toward AI that is faster, more
efficient, and fundamentally user-centric.

<description><![CDATA[ In a defining moment for India-Singapore deep-tech
collaboration, Dr. Durga Das, Founder &amp; CEO of Aeronero Global, has secured
a landmark victory at NEXTLEAP 2025 — the flagship startup acceleration
initiative proudly presented by the ICAI Singapore Chapter in collaboration
with BeyondSeed, commemorating 60 years of India–Singapore diplomatic relations.

From an elite field of 50 high-potential startups,
only 10 were selected to pitch before Union Ministers, sovereign investors,
global family offices, and industry leaders. Aeronero Global emerged as one of
the top winners, its atmospheric water generation (AWG) technology recognised
as mission-critical infrastructure for a water-stressed Asia-Pacific and
beyond.

This triumph is a strategic inflection point. The win
fast-tracks Aeronero’s establishment of Aeronero Singapore as its Asia-Pacific
headquarters and centre of excellence, enabling rapid scaling across ASEAN,
Australia, Japan, Korea, and the Pacific Islands — delivering decentralised,
renewable water at nation-state velocity.

Dr. Durga Das stated: “Winning NEXTLEAP 2025 is rocket
fuel for a vision that turns humidity into sovereignty. Establishing Aeronero
Singapore positions us at the heart of Asia-Pacific’s climate-resilience
capital stack and allows us to make water independence an engineered
non-issue.”

Ravi Karkara, Global Chief Strategic Officer and
Co-Founder of the Global Air Water Generation Initiative, added: “Dr. Durga Das
and Aeronero are not building a company — they are building the
operating system for water resilience in the 21st century.”

“When Indian deep-tech founders like Durga choose
Singapore as their springboard, the Global South doesn’t just adapt to climate
reality — it redefines it.”

With priority access to Singapore government grants,
EDB introductions, and BeyondSeed’s growth ecosystem now unlocked, Aeronero
Singapore will commence operations in Q1 2026, targeting multi-year frameworks
with defence, disaster-response, and smart-city authorities across the region.

The future of water in Asia-Pacific will be
decentralised, renewable, and — decisively — Indian-origin. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ On Children’s Day, ADM and HarvestPlus Solutions
proudly launched Nutri Pathshala, a collaborative initiative dedicated to
improving child nutrition, nutrition literacy, and community well-being across
India.

The program seeks to nurture young minds by
integrating consumption of nutrient-enriched foods with engaging, school-based
learning experiences that promote healthier lifestyles among children. Nutri
Pathshala goes beyond the provision of nutritious meals, it empowers children,
parents, and teachers with the knowledge and resources to make informed choices
about food and health, while fostering local livelihoods through the production
of biofortified crops.

Speaking about the initiative, Arun Khera,
Head- Public Policy &amp; Government Relations, ADM said “ADM is proud to
partner with HarvestPlus Solutions on the Nutri Pathshala initiative, which
aligns strongly with our commitment to expanding access to safe, nutritious and
affordable food. This collaboration reflects our belief that meaningful,
sustainable progress comes from working together across the nutrition
ecosystem, and we are excited to support this important step toward a healthier
future.”

Ravinder Grover, COO, HarvestPlus Solutions, said:
“Nutri Pathshala gives children the superpower of understanding what truly
nourishes them. When nutrition literacy becomes part of daily learning, it
shapes stronger, healthier generations. Our partnership with ADM amplifies this
impact for every child we reach.”

Aligned with Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra
Modi’s recent emphasis on the incorporation of biofortified crops to address
malnutrition, Nutri Pathshala contributes directly to the vision of a
nutrition-secure India. The initiative embodies the spirit of Children’s Day,
celebrating growth, learning, and the right of every child to a healthy,
nourished life.

The ADM–HarvestPlus Solutions partnership exemplifies
how collaboration between science, industry, and community can drive
sustainable, scalable solutions for a healthier, nourished future. As Nutri
Pathshala expands its footprint across India, it will continue to empower
children and communities with the knowledge and nourishment needed to build
stronger, brighter futures.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  
Mumbai, November 24, 2025 : Rustomjee Group, one of Mumbai’s most trusted
real estate developers, has announced the launch of Tower D at La Vie, Thane,
further strengthening its presence in the city’s premium residential landscape.
The new tower marks the fourth addition to La Vie, an 8.5-acre gated community
within Rustomjee’s 100+ acre integrated township in Thane, which is redefining
resort-style living with expansive green spaces, curated amenities, and
design-led homes for modern families. The township functions as a complete
ecosystem, featuring a fully operational fire station, Rustomjee Cambridge
International School, an upcoming hospital, Tri Mandir, and well-planned
commercial and retail spaces.

Designed by Architect Hafeez Contractor and landscape
architecture by COEN Design, Singapore, La Vie offers a resort-style living
experience amidst thoughtfully curated open spaces and lush green landscapes.
Tower D stands 55 storeys tall, offering 2 BHK residences ranging from 648 to
718 sq. ft. and 3 BHK residences of 858 sq. ft., each featuring private decks
and layouts crafted for space optimization and comfort.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Anupam Verma,
CEO, Rustomjee Urbania, said, “Rustomjee has always believed in shaping
communities that balance aspiration with accessibility. La Vie at Thane
represents this philosophy where design, functionality, and nature come
together to create a resort-style living experience for modern families. With
the launch of Tower D, we are not only expanding our footprint but also
reinforcing our vision of building integrated neighbourhoods that redefine
urban living.”

Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Ho Kiam
Kheong, Chief Representative, India, Keppel Ltd., said, “Our collaboration
with the Rustomjee Group brings together Keppel’s expertise in delivering
innovative and sustainable urban solutions with Rustomjee’s deep understanding
of the Indian residential market. Together, we are building communities that
exemplify thoughtful design and smart infrastructure, aimed at elevating the
quality of life in our integrated township. La Vie reflects our shared vision
of bringing world-class planning and a resort-style living experience to
Thane.”

The launch of Tower D underscores Rustomjee’s
commitment to evolving Thane’s residential landscape through homes that
seamlessly blend design intelligence, comfort, and community. The project
offers thoughtfully planned apartments with butterfly layouts for enhanced
space efficiency, along with select residences offering dual views and
dedicated foyer spaces for added privacy. Every home includes a spacious deck
and larger windows for ventilation and natural light, complemented by 6+1
high-speed elevators for convenience.

At the heart of La Vie lies a 2.2-acre green Central
Park, complemented by three levels of lifestyle amenities: the Ground Level,
Recreational Floor, and Rooftop. Residents can enjoy an Olympic-sized swimming
pool, water features for kids, Jacuzzi pods, elderly fitness zones, party hall,
fully equipped gymnasium, and sunrise and sunset decks, among several other
experiences designed to foster community, well-being, and leisure.

La Vie enjoys excellent connectivity with Majiwada
Junction (1.3 km), Eastern Express Highway (500 m), Airoli and Navi Mumbai (8.3
km), and BKC (25 km). The location is further enhanced by upcoming
infrastructure including Metro Line 4 (Thane-Wadala), Metro Line 5
(Thane-Kalyan), the proposed Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train, and Thane-Borivali
and Airoli-Dombivli tunnel roads, along with GMLR connectivity, positioning
Thane as one of the most well-connected and future-ready residential
destinations in the MMR.

Since its inception, La Vie has set a new benchmark
for premium living in Thane, driven by intelligent design, community-focused
planning, and holistic lifestyle integration which reflects Rustomjee’s
enduring vision of creating homes that go beyond four walls to nurture
meaningful living experiences. ]]></description>

<title>Understanding Dermatology Coverage in Health Insurance Plans</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Dermatology is the
branch of medicine that concentrates on diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and
nail conditions. From common issues like acne and eczema to more serious
concerns like psoriasis, skin cancer, and other dermatological disorders, these
conditions can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. As a result,
many people are interested in ensuring that their health insurance covers
dermatological treatments. However, the extent to which dermatology is covered
by health insurance policies can vary depending on the provider, plan, and
specific needs of the patient.

Let us understand what
dermatology coverage typically includes in medical insurance plans, how
critical illness insurance fits into the equation, and what to look for when
selecting the best health insurance company for dermatological care.

What is Dermatology Coverage in Health
Insurance?

Dermatology
coverage refers to the extent to which a health insurance plan covers the costs
of medical services provided by a dermatologist. This includes consultations,
diagnostic tests, surgeries, and treatments for a wide variety of skin-related
issues.

While
many health insurance
coverage for basic dermatological consultations and treatments, the specifics
of the coverage can vary greatly from one insurance provider to another.
Patients should understand what is covered and whether it’s part of their
standard health insurance policy or if it falls under specific riders or
add-ons.

Common Dermatological Conditions Covered by
Health Insurance

Health
insurance plans typically cover a range of dermatological conditions, though
the type and extent of coverage depend on the nature of the condition and the
insurance policy. Below are some common dermatological conditions that are
generally covered:

Acne and Acne Scars

Acne
is a common skin condition, especially among teenagers and young adults.
Treatments for acne, such as topical medications, oral antibiotics, and
sometimes laser therapy, may be covered by health insurance policies. However,
treatments for acne scars, which are often considered cosmetic, may not always
be covered unless they are medically necessary or linked to a significant
condition.

Psoriasis and Eczema

Psoriasis
and eczema are chronic skin conditions that can cause significant discomfort.
These conditions often require long-term management and can involve treatments
such as topical steroids, phototherapy, and systemic medications. Most medical
insurance plans cover the treatment of these conditions, but it’s important to
review the details of your policy to ensure that all forms of treatment are
included.

Skin Cancer and Pre-cancerous
Lesions

Skin
cancer, including melanoma and non-melanoma types, is one of the most serious
dermatological conditions. Treatments for skin cancer, such as biopsies,
excisions, and reconstructive surgery, are typically covered by health
insurance policies. Early detection and treatment are critical, so most
insurance plans provide coverage for diagnostic tests, such as biopsies and
imaging, to identify suspicious skin growths.

Skin Infections

Bacterial,
viral, and fungal infections can affect the skin, requiring treatments like
antibiotics, antifungal creams, or antiviral medications. Health insurance
policies generally cover treatments for these infections, but some policies may
have restrictions on the number of doctor visits or the types of treatments
covered.

Types of Health Insurance Coverage for
Dermatology

The
extent of dermatology coverage in a health insurance policy will depend on the
specifics of the plan. There are several ways in which dermatological care may
be included in health insurance coverage:

Basic Health Insurance Coverage

Many
standard health insurance policies offer coverage for essential dermatology
treatments, such as consultations, diagnostic tests, and treatments for common
conditions. However, this coverage may be limited to medically necessary
treatments and exclude elective or cosmetic procedures. For example, the
insurance may cover the cost of a dermatologist’s consultation for eczema but
may not cover elective cosmetic treatments like Botox or chemical peels.

Critical Illness Insurance

Critical
illness insurance is a specialised type of insurance designed to provide
coverage for serious, life-threatening conditions, such as cancer, heart
attack, and stroke. While critical insurance typically does not cover routine
dermatological consultations or treatments for conditions like acne, it may
provide coverage for more serious dermatological issues like skin cancer. 

Cosmetic Dermatology Coverage

Most
health insurance policies focus on medically necessary treatments rather than
cosmetic procedures. As such, cosmetic dermatological treatments such as
facelifts, rhinoplasty, Botox injections, and non-medical laser procedures may
not be co ]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">When selecting a health insurance policy that includes dermatology coverage, there are several factors to consider:</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><a name="_c4jt3o4ncmk3"></a><b><span lang="EN">Coverage for Pre-existing Conditions</span></b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">Some insurance providers exclude coverage for pre-existing conditions, such as chronic eczema or psoriasis, for a certain waiting period. It’s important to check whether your plan includes coverage for these conditions from day one or whether there is a waiting period involved.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><a name="_51sdwf385dbr"></a><b><span lang="EN">In-Network Providers</span></b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">Insurance plans often work with a network of approved providers. Check whether your dermatologist is part of your insurer’s network to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits and minimise out-of-pocket costs. If you have a preferred dermatologist or need a specialised treatment centre, verify that they are covered under the medical insurance plan.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><a name="_tdvmjmar0k8h"></a><b><span lang="EN">Policy Exclusions</span></b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">Be sure to review the list of exclusions in your health insurance policy. Many policies do not cover treatments that are considered cosmetic or elective. If you are seeking coverage for a particular dermatological treatment, such as hair restoration surgery, it’s important to check whether that specific treatment is covered or if additional riders are required.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><a name="_hxdp53s6alw3"></a><b><span lang="EN">Conclusion</span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">Dermatology coverage in health insurance policies is an essential consideration for anyone seeking medical treatment for skin, hair, and nail conditions. Whether you need treatment for acne, psoriasis, or more serious conditions like skin cancer, it’s important to understand the coverage options available under your medical insurance plans.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">In addition, critical illness insurance can provide supplementary coverage for life-threatening conditions such as skin cancer, helping to alleviate the financial burden of major treatments. By thoroughly reviewing your policy’s inclusions and exclusions, you can ensure that you have the right coverage for your dermatological needs.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN">For the best dermatology coverage, consider policies from leading insurers like </span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://www.nivabupa.com/"><b><span>Niva Bupa</span></b></a></span><span lang="EN">, which offer comprehensive plans that include a wide range of treatments and conditions, ensuring you have the coverage you need when it matters most.</span></p>

<title>Spandan AI&amp;ECG by Sunfox Wins Top Innovation Honour and Gold at ICMR&amp;DHR Summit</title>

<description><![CDATA[  



Dehradun : At a time when heart attacks are on the rise
across the country, In a proud moment for Indian med-tech, Dehradun-based
Sunfox Technologies bagged the Gold Award in Innovation at the 2nd DHR-ICMR
Research Excellence Summit. The honour was awarded for its breakthrough
product, Spandan AI-ECG, a pocket-sized cardiac diagnostic device that is fast
becoming a lifeline in heart healthcare across the country. Built entirely in
India, Spandan is now recognised as India’s No.1 Made-in-India ECG AI
innovation for both home and clinic use.

Spandan is disrupting the ECG landscape with its
portability, accuracy, and affordability. What sets it apart is not just its
advanced technology, but its deeply human goal: making heart health accessible,
even in the remotest corners of India.

With cardiovascular diseases continuing to be the
leading cause of mortality in India, and recent trends showing a rise in heart
attacks among younger demographics, the ability to conduct rapid and reliable
ECGs in non-clinical settings has gained urgency.

“Most heart attacks in India are preventable if
diagnosed early.Too many people in India suffer because ECGs aren’t available
when they’re needed most. We built Spandan to change that. We wanted to make a
heart device that could be used by anyone, anywhere. To be recognised by ICMR
and DHR shows that this idea matters and is proof that Indian innovation can save
lives” said the Sunfox CEO Rajat Jain. “Spandan was built to close that gap
between the advanced medical infra and patients. This recognition is a win for
the idea that healthcare innovation can come from India, for India.”

The award, presented by the Department of Health
Research (DHR) and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), comes as a
strong endorsement for India’s growing deep-tech healthcare ecosystem. Sunfox
also acknowledged the support of ICMR Chief Dr Bahl and Dr Suchita Markan, the Medical
Device and Diagnostics Mission Secretariat, Medtech Mitra and entire ICMR team,
whose push for locally driven innovations has made such breakthroughs possible.

Spandan is already used by thousands of doctors across
the country, in rural clinics, urban hospitals, ambulances, and by the Indian
Army, making Spandan as India’s #1 homegrown, ECG innovation. It became widely
known after receiving an all-investor deal on Shark Tank India, and has since
been praised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bill Gates for making heart
care more affordable and accessible. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

Bengaluru, November 24, 2025 : Dr. Ganesh Shenoy, Director of Surgical Gastroenterology and
Robotic Surgery at Kauvery Hospital, Electronic City, Bengaluru, has set a
world record of completing the most number of robotic hernia surgeries-13, by a
single surgeon using a single da Vinci surgical system in a single day. This
achievement showcases Dr. Shenoy’s extraordinary surgical skill, consistency
and mastery over the advanced robotic technology.

&quot;This achievement is not just about
numbers”, , but about demonstrating what is possible when
technology and skill converge. Each one of the 13 patients received
individualized attention with a commitment to safety, and all procedures were
completed with zero errors or complications. The use of robotic-assisted
surgery was pivotal. It allowed for exceptional precision and greatly reduced
surgeon fatigue, which would have been difficult, if not impossible, had these
cases been performed laparoscopically. My priority in every case is patient
safety and optimal outcomes.&quot; said Dr.
Shenoy, Director of Surgical Gastroenterology and Robotic Surgery-Kauvery
Hospital, Electronic City, Bengaluru

The remarkable surgical marathon was witnessed
firsthand by Dr. Deepraj Bhandarkar, Former President of the Hernia Society of
India, who was visiting the hospital. His presence lends authoritative
credibility to this milestone, confirming the safe, precise, and efficient
execution of these complex procedures.

“Dr. Ganesh Shenoy’s accomplishment is a testament
to his dedication and technical excellence,” said
Dr. Bhandarkar. “Performing robotic hernia repairs at this scale in a day,
with full focus on patient safety and surgical precision, is truly outstanding
and inspiring for the surgical community. The robotic system’s ability to
reduce surgeon fatigue significantly enhances the precision and safety
achievable during such a marathon, which would otherwise be unthinkable
laparoscopically.” Says Dr. Deepraj Bhandarkar, Former
President of the Hernia Society of India.

The record has also been recognized by Intuitive, the
makers of the da Vinci surgical robot, who played a key supporting role by
providing robotic instrumentation, workflow planning, and rapid system
turnaround, enabling seamless transitions between cases. Rohit Mahajan, Vice
President and General Manager, Intuitive India, said, “This
achievement highlights the impact created when highly organized surgical teams
adopt best-in-class surgical technologies like the da Vinci robotic-assisted
surgery platform to maximize throughput and reduce variability in patient
outcomes. By prioritizing care team training and streamlining operational
workflows, the Kauvery Hospital team has demonstrated what’s possible in
expanding patient access to consistent, high-quality surgical care. We are
proud to support this exceptional team in their pursuit of this milestone in
patient care.” 

Kauvery Hospital continues its commitment to
delivering unparalleled patient safety, zero surgical errors, and excellent
clinical outcomes by combining cutting-edge technology with exceptional
surgical talent. This feat underlines the institution’s status as a Centre of
Excellence in Hernia Surgery, accredited by the Asia Pacific Hernia Society and
the Hernia Society of India.

About Kauvery Hospitals: Founded in 1999, Kauvery Hospital is one of Southern India’s
fastest-growing healthcare providers, operating 12 multispecialty hospitals
across six cities. With over 2,200 beds, the group offers excellence in renal

<title>Tata AIA Premier SIP Sees Rising Interest as SIP&amp;Linked Insurance Gains Ground Among Young Professionals</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
India  :  One of
India&#039;s leading life insurance companies, Tata AIA Life Insurance, is witnessing
remarkable growth for its Tata AIA Premier SIP, a market-linked,
insurance-plus-investment solution. The unique SIP plan provides an innovative
offering that enables young professionals to grow their wealth while ensuring
their families&#039; financial security.



Key Highlights of Tata AIA Premier SIP

·      
Tata
AIA Smart SIP combines market-linked investment growth with health protection
benefits into a single plan.

·      
With
zero premium allocation charges, you can invest a larger share of your premium
in your chosen fund option.

·      
Future
premiums are waived off in case of an unforeseen event, so the policyholder can
still reach his financial goals. The Waiver of Premium benefit is exclusively
available under the Future Secure plan option.

·      
Provides
teleconsultations, medical second opinions, preventive health checkups, and
discounts on vaccinations, medicines, and diagnostic tests.



Tata AIA Premier SIP bundles
a host of benefits, enabling investors to build long-term wealth by taking
advantage of a ULIP (Unit Linked Insurance Plan) — a
market-linked product that combines investment and insurance in one plan. A
portion of your insurance premium goes toward life and health insurance
coverage, and the remainder is invested in market-linked funds. Over time, your
investment could bring you higher returns over time, helping you achieve your
financial goals while ensuring protection as well. The plan is designed to help
working professionals achieve a &quot;fikar-free future&quot; through
consistent savings and investing.

A unique feature of
Tata AIA Premier SIP is its Zero Allocation Charges, which ensure that 100% of

fees or taxes. This enables them to rebalance their portfolios based on market
conditions or evolving financial goals.
