<description><![CDATA[ The new launch sets a benchmark for inclusive sun protection in India
by combining broad-spectrum SPF protection, skincare actives and buildable
coverage all in one formula

Kolkata, 25 August, 2026 : Dot &amp; Key, India&#039;s
fastest-growing D2C skincare brand, announced the launch of its new Strawberry
Dew Tinted Sunscreen range featuring 15 flexible shades, making it the first
Indian skincare brand to offer the widest range of tinted sunscreen shades
tailored for Indian skin tones.

Powered by new-age UV filters, the formula delivers broad-spectrum UVA
and UVB protection while helping shield skin from blue light exposure. Its
waterlight and quick-absorbing texture leaves a natural dewy finish with no
white cast and offers buildable coverage that helps even out skin tone. The
sunscreen is also enriched with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid,
niacinamide and panthenol, which help hydrate, strengthen the skin barrier and
support overall skin health for all skin types.

“While
tinted sunscreens have gained global traction, there was a persistent gap
wherein Indian consumers had to choose between sun protection, shades that
complement rich Indian undertones, and functional skin benefits. With the
Strawberry Dew Tinted Sunscreen range, we are bringing together all three in a
format that eliminates the need for multi-step routines and makes it feel like
a second skin. As the category evolves, we remain focused on creating solutions
that make skincare accessible, enjoyable and inclusive for the Indian
skin,&quot; said Anisha Agarwal Saraf, Co-Founder
&amp; Chief Innovation Officer, Dot &amp; Key Skincare.

The new range, created with the diversity of Indian skin tones in
mind, features lighter tones such as Peony, Porcelain, Rose, Warm Ivory and
Peach; medium tones including Sand, Honey, Almond, Beige and Cinnamon; and
richer tones across Caramel, Hazelnut, Mocha, Fudge and Espresso.    

Complementing the product&#039;s innovative formulation is a distinctive
new heart-shaped tube packaging designed to transform sunscreen application
from a daily necessity into a more enjoyable ritual. By combining efficacy with
a playful and aesthetically appealing format, the brand aims to make daily sun
protection a habit consumers look forward to, true to Dot &amp; Key&#039;s
philosophy of enjoyable skincare. 

The Dot &amp; Key Strawberry Dew Tinted Sunscreen range is available
across the brand&#039;s website, leading e-commerce and quick-commerce platforms,
and retail outlets nationwide. For more information, visit https://www.dotandkey.com

<title>Inflow Technologies Partners with 1Kosmos to Deliver Identity Verification and Passwordless Security Across India</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Collaboration combines Inflow&#039;s reach across more than 50 locations
with the 1Kosmos platform to help enterprises reduce identity fraud

BENGALURU, India, 25th August : Inflow Technologies, a leading value-added distributor of ICT infrastructure
solutions, and 1Kosmos, a leader in unifying identity proofing and
passwordless authentication, today announced a strategic distribution
partnership to bring the 1Kosmos platform to organizations across India.
Together, the companies will help enterprises verify a person&#039;s identity before
issuing credentials, replace password-dependent access, and reduce identity
impersonation, account takeover, and fraud.

The partnership combines Inflow&#039;s channel reach and technical
expertise with 1Kosmos&#039; capabilities for remote identity verification and
passwordless multi-factor authentication. Inflow operates across more than 50
locations in South Asia and works with channel partners throughout the
technology sales cycle. Inflow will introduce the 1Kosmos platform to customers
and channel partners seeking stronger identity assurance for workforce and
customer access.

Organizations often treat successful authentication as proof that the
person using a credential is its legitimate owner. Stolen passwords,
compromised recovery processes, AI impersonation, and fraudulent enrollment can
break that connection. Establishing identity during onboarding and carrying
that verified identity into each authentication gives organizations a stronger
basis for deciding who receives access to applications and data.

“Identity has become the new perimeter and organizations need
stronger, simpler, and more secure ways to protect digital identities while
enabling seamless access. This partnership with 1Kosmos enables us to bring
their innovative identity verification and passwordless authentication
capabilities to our customers and channel partners,” said Rajesh Kumar, Senior
Vice President, Tech BU, Inflow Technologies. “Together, we are well-positioned
to accelerate the adoption of modern identity security solutions across the
region, helping enterprises strengthen their security posture while delivering
a superior user experience.”

“A passwordless credential is only as trustworthy as the identity
enrolled behind it,” said Siddharth Gandhi, Co-Founder and COO - APAC of
1Kosmos. “Inflow brings the regional relationships and technical resources needed
to help more organizations verify users at enrollment and preserve that
assurance when they access critical systems. This partnership extends a
practical defense against impersonation and account takeover to enterprises
across India.”

Verified Identity from Enrollment Through Access

The 1Kosmos platform unifies identity proofing, credential
verification, and passwordless multi-factor authentication. Organizations can
remotely verify users through government-issued identity documents, biometric
matching, and liveness detection, then bind that verified identity to a
reusable digital credential. At login, live biometrics confirm that the person
requesting access is the individual enrolled to the credential, reducing
reliance on passwords, one-time codes, and knowledge-based checks that can be
phished, shared, or socially engineered.

The same foundation can support workforce onboarding, customer account
opening, account recovery, and access to sensitive applications. Configurable
workflows allow organizations to adapt proofing and authentication requirements
to the risk of each user journey while preserving user control over personal
information.

Availability

The 1Kosmos platform is available immediately in India through Inflow
Technologies and its channel partners. For more information visit www.inflowtechnologies.com.

the Hon&#039;ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Shri Nara Chandrababu Naidu,

hybrids, developed at Gourmet Popcornica’s Research Farms

Krisna459 and Godari234, dedicated to the

and lower import dependence

●       
From value-added contract farming to owning
the seed itself – Gourmet Popcornica’s next step in building complete, lasting
self-reliance for India’s popcorn farmers

Musunuru, Andhra
Pradesh, August 25, 2026 : In a moment India&#039;s popcorn industry has
waited for over a decade, the Hon&#039;ble Vice-President of India, Shri C. P.
Radhakrishnan, today launched Krisna459 and Godari234, India&#039;s first
high-expansion non-GMO popcorn maize hybrid seeds, bred to match the popping
quality of the world&#039;s finest corn. The launch took place at Gourmet
Popcornica&#039;s factory in Musunuru, in the presence of the Hon&#039;ble Governor of
Andhra Pradesh, Shri S. Abdul Nazeer, and the Hon&#039;ble Chief Minister of Andhra
Pradesh, Shri Nara Chandrababu Naidu. The event concluded with the felicitation
of the best-performing farmers and partners from eight states across the
country.

Shri Pattabhi Rama Rao,
Managing Director, Gourmet Popcornica explains the process of popcorn maize
processing to Hon&#039;ble Vice President of India, Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan, and
Shri N. Chandrababu Naidu, Hon&#039;ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, at the
launch of Gourmet Popcornica&#039;s pioneering non-GMO, high-expansion popcorn maize
seed at Musunuru, Andhra Pradesh on August 24, 2026.

The launch marks the
next step in a longer journey with India’s farmers. Gourmet Popcornica first
moved growers out of commodity maize and into value-added, contract-based
popcorn corn farming, offering assured offtake and better prices for a
specialised crop. With Krisna459 and Godari234, farmers now gain something more
fundamental ownership of the genetics itself. Rather than depend on imported
hybrid seed, they grow a hybrid bred, tested, and owned in India, built to
deliver higher yields, processor-grade quality, and a far greater share of the
value their crop creates.

&quot;Today, we take a
small but firm step toward Atmanirbhar Bharat – not a slogan, but a seed. Every
acre cultivated with this indigenous hybrid is an acre that no longer needs an
imported alternative, and every such acre is a saving redirected into the
pockets of our own farmers, and the economic development of our great
country.&quot; - Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan, Hon&#039;ble Vice-President of India

For years, India&#039;s
premium popcorn, the kind sold in cinemas and gourmet retail, depended heavily
on seed and grain imported from the USA, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, etc.

Krisna459 and Godari234
are the homegrown answer to dependence on imports. Bred and trial-tested across
five growing seasons in partnership with India&#039;s leading maize research
institutions, both hybrids match the kernel size and popping expansion of the
leading imported benchmark, while offering the pest tolerance, short duration,
and yield Indian farmers need. Together, they represent Gourmet Popcornica&#039;s
most significant contribution yet to India&#039;s Atmanirbhar Bharat mission in
agriculture.

&quot;This hybrid is
precisely the kind of agri-tech innovation our Swarnandhra 2047 vision calls
for, technology that does not replace the farmer, but empowers him. When our
farmers succeed, Andhra Pradesh succeeds, and when Andhra Pradesh succeeds,
India moves closer to a Viksit Bharat.&quot;, Shri Nara Chandrababu Naidu,
Hon&#039;ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh

Over 17,500 farmers
across eight states, cultivating nearly 40,000 acres with Gourmet Popcornica, stand
to benefit directly. With average yields of 4.5 tonnes of wet cob per acre and
popping quality that meets processor-grade specifications, farmers growing
Krisna459 and Godari234 gain access to assured offtake and contract pricing
that were, until now, largely reserved for imported grain. This is expected to
lead to a direct and lasting improvement in income for small and marginal
farming families, reinforcing Gourmet Popcornica&#039;s commitment to the growth and
prosperity of farmers across India.

&quot;This is not the
story of a company – it is the story of over 17,500 farmers across eight states
who chose to believe a better harvest was possible. Krisna459 and Godari234 are
our answer to their faith in us, and our tribute to every farmer who partners
with Gourmet Popcornica. We are witnessing a moment that Indian agriculture has
waited for, the day India&#039;s own soil, India&#039;s own science, and India&#039;s own
farmers gave birth to our first non-GMO, high-expansion Popcorn Maize Hybrid
seed. For me, and for everyone at Gourmet Popcornica, this is not a corporate
milestone; it supports the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.&quot; Shri S.B.P.
Pattabhi Rama Rao, Managing Director, Gourmet Popcornica

The Indian economy
stands to benefit, as well. India&#039;s popcorn maize market has grown from around
50,000 tonnes in 2014-15 to roughly 1.3 lakh tonnes in 2025-26, with domestic
production now meeting close to 70 percent of national demand. This is a
dramatic reversal from a market once dependent almost entirely on imports. The
shift to local production has saved the country an estimated ₹810 crore in
foreign exchange in 2025-26 alone. With hybrids like Krisna459 and Godari234
entering wide cultivation, India remains on track to end popcorn imports
altogether by 2030, keeping that value within Indian farms and villages rather
than sending it abroad.

and Shri N. Chandrababu Naidu, Hon&#039;ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, at the
launch of Gourmet Popcornica&#039;s pioneering non-GMO, high-expansion popcorn maize
seed at Musunuru, Andhra Pradesh on August 24, 2026.

&quot;I&#039;ve spent my
life growing popcorn in Nebraska, and I can tell you – what Gourmet Popcornica
has built here matches anything we grow back home. India now has the genetics,
the farmers, and the scale to become one of the great popcorn-growing nations
of the world, and we&#039;re proud to be part of that journey.&quot; Mr. Norm Krug,
Founder &amp; CEO, Preferred Popcorn, USA

Until now, India has
been primarily a consumer of world-class popcorn genetics developed elsewhere.
With Krisna459 and Godari234 meeting the same quality benchmarks as leading
international varieties, India moves from being an importer of quality popcorn
to a producer of it – with the scale of farmland and farmers to eventually
compete on the global stage alongside traditional popcorn-growing nations.

For the millions of
Indians who enjoy popcorn at the cinema, at home, or on the go, the experience
does not change – the same big, fluffy, satisfying popcorn remains exactly as
it should be. What changes is where it comes from: an Indian farm, an Indian
hybrid, and a supply chain far less exposed to global shipping costs, tariffs,
or disruption.

<title>Puravankara Enters JDA for 7.83&#45;acre Land Parcel in South&#45;East Bengaluru with Rs 1,247 Crore GDV Potential</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 25th August 2026, Bengaluru : Puravankara Limited
(NSE: PURVA | BSE: 532891), one of India&#039;s most trusted and admired real estate
developers, has entered into a joint development agreement (JDA) for a
7.83-acre land parcel in South-East Bengaluru, with an estimated Gross
Development Value (GDV) of Rs 1,100 crore. The project has a saleable area of
approximately 0.89 msft and will be developed as a residential community,
adding to Puravankara&#039;s presence in this established South Bengaluru corridor.

This marks Puravankara’s fifth land transaction in Bengaluru for FY27,
underscoring the calibrated approach and the pace at which the company
continues to build its development pipeline in the city.

Commenting on the development, Ashish Puravankara, Managing
Director, Puravankara Limited, said, &quot;Bengaluru remains the anchor
of our growth story, and South-East Bengaluru&#039;s employment-led corridors
continue to give us conviction to deploy capital. This JDA is consistent with
how we have approached every addition to our pipeline this year: disciplined
structuring, a capital-light approach, and a clear focus on markets with
consistent end-user demand. This is the kind of steady business development
that underpins our FY27 growth ambitions, and we will continue to move on such
opportunities as they come.&quot;

Strategically located in South-East Bengaluru, the site benefits from
its proximity to the Electronic City employment corridor and access to Hosa
Road and Hosur Road. The micro-market also benefits from connectivity via Namma
Metro’s operational Yellow Line and has emerged as an established residential
catchment for professionals working in Electronic City and nearby employment
hubs. Improving infrastructure and sustained demand for quality housing
continue to strengthen the corridor&#039;s long-term residential potential.

Mallanna Sasalu, CEO-South, Puravankara Limited,
added, “This land parcel gives us close to a million square feet of saleable
area in a corridor that&#039;s already proven its value. Electronic City has strong
housing demand due to employment opportunities, robust social infrastructure,
and good road and metro connectivity. With this transaction, we have added five
land parcels in Bengaluru this fiscal, bringing our cumulative FY27 business
development to around 49.76 acres, approximately Rs 6,300 crore in potential
GDV, and about 5.12 msft of saleable area. It is a clear signal of the pace and
consistency we are bringing to our business development, while maintaining a
strong focus on capital efficiency.”

Through such partnerships, Puravankara continues to optimise capital
deployment, strengthen the quality and depth of its development pipeline, and
expand its presence across Bengaluru&#039;s key growth corridors.

<title>Real Estate Marketing Strategies: A Complete Guide for Developers in India</title>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/real-estate-marketing-strategies-a-complete-guide-for-developers-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

India&#039;s property buyers no longer start their search at a sales
office. They start on Google, Instagram, and property portals, often weeks
before they speak to anyone from the project. For a developer, this means
digital visibility isn&#039;t a support function anymore. It&#039;s the first sales
conversation happening with every buyer, whether you&#039;re part of it or not.

This is why more developers are choosing to work with a dedicated real estate digital marketing agency
instead of a general marketing team. Real estate has its own rules: RERA
compliance, long sales cycles, and buyers who compare five or six projects before
making a single call. A team that understands this space gets the strategy
right from day one, instead of learning it on your project&#039;s budget.

This guide breaks down what actually works for real estate marketing
strategies in India today, from getting found on search to turning enquiries
into booked site visits.

connected ecosystem, from SEO to CRM, is the only way to prevent lead leakage
and maximize ROI.

●      Local
micro-market keywords convert far better than broad city-level terms.

●      Premium
housing is outperforming the wider market. Homes priced above ₹1 crore grew
close to 30% year-on-year in Q1 2026, even as overall sales moderated,
according to JLL&#039;s
Residential Dynamics report. That shift makes strong positioning essential for
mid to premium projects.

●      Real
estate marketing strategies should be judged on cost per site visit, not just
cost per lead.

1. Why Real Estate Marketing Strategies Matter More Than Ever

Buying a home in India is a big decision, and buyers now research it
the same way they research anything expensive. Someone comparing 2 BHK options
in Kandivali or Bhandup will check RERA status, price trends, connectivity, and
reviews across several sources before shortlisting anything.

The market itself is shifting toward more considered, higher-value
purchases. Premium housing (above ₹1 crore) posted close to 30% year-on-year
growth in Q1 2026, per
JLL, even as overall sales across India&#039;s top 7 cities moderated. Buyers are
pickier and better informed, which raises the bar for how a project shows up
online.

Here&#039;s what that means for a developer today:

●      Buyers
expect floor plans, pricing, and project details to show up within seconds of a
search.

●      Transparent
RERA details and genuine reviews now influence a buyer&#039;s trust as much as the
amenities list.

●      Most
enquiries come through mobile, often on WhatsApp, so reply speed matters as
much as the ad itself.

●      Site
visits are increasingly booked online, so the digital journey has to work
smoothly from ad to appointment.

2. Win Local SEO in Your Micro-Market

Real estate search is hyper-local. Buyers usually search for
properties in specific localities rather than entire cities. Ranking for these
location-specific searches attracts serious buyers and requires content built
around the project&#039;s exact micro-market.

A solid real estate SEO plan usually includes:

●      Location-specific
pages built around the neighbourhood, connectivity, and nearby landmarks.

●      Google
Business Profile optimization so the project shows up correctly on Maps and
local search.

●      RERA-compliant
content that stays honest while still ranking well.

●      Simple
FAQ content answering what buyers actually type into search, like carpet area,
possession date, and loan eligibility.

3. Run Channel-Specific Performance Campaigns

For most developers, paid campaigns still bring in the bulk of
qualified enquiries. Good performance
marketing for real estate doesn&#039;t mean running the same
ad on every platform. Each channel plays a different role:

●      Google
Search Ads catch buyers actively typing a project or locality name, the
highest-intent group.

●      Meta
Ads (Facebook and Instagram) work well for awareness and retargeting,
especially with video walkthroughs and drone shots.

●      WhatsApp
Ads convert faster than email in India, since buyers reply to a message quicker
than they fill out a form.

●      LinkedIn
Ads work best for premium or commercial projects targeting working
professionals.

4. Creative, Social Media, and Influencer Marketing Ideas

Real estate advertising has moved past static, brochure-style images.
What&#039;s working now:

●      Short
video walkthroughs and drone footage that show scale and location clearly.

●      Reels-style
content covering amenities, sample flats, and the neighbourhood around the
project.

●      Local
micro-influencers in real estate, finance, or lifestyle, who add third-party
credibility.

●      Construction-update
content for ongoing projects, which builds trust with buyers watching progress
before possession.

5. Close the Loop with CRM and Sales Automation

Getting leads is only half the job. Real estate sales cycles run long,
sometimes months, so leads need to be captured, tagged, and followed up on time
or they go cold. This is where CRM and sales automation
stops being optional and becomes core infrastructure.

A well-set-up CRM for a real estate project typically handles:

●      Automatic
lead capture from every channel, ads, website forms, and WhatsApp, into one
pipeline.

●      Lead
scoring so your pre-sales team calls the buyers closest to a decision first.

●      Automated
follow-up sequences for leads that aren&#039;t ready to visit yet.

●      Site
visit scheduling and reminders that cut down no-shows.

6. Build Reputation with Digital PR and Trust-Building Tactics

Trust is the biggest factor in real estate, and much of it is built
outside the ad itself. Media mentions, founder interviews, and third-party
coverage make a project easier to find and easier to believe when a buyer
searches for it by name. Genuine reviews and testimonials add to that trust
layer, and for many buyers, third-party validation is what turns hesitation
into a booking.

7. Choose the Right Partner for Your Real Estate Marketing Strategies

Altois
is one such team working specifically in this space, running full-fledged real
estate campaigns across Mumbai and Pune for developers like Ashray Group, Royal
Realtors Group, and V Raheja Realty, with over ₹100 crore in real estate
revenue generated and outcomes tied directly to site visits and bookings, not
just clicks.

Real estate marketing has a lot of moving parts: SEO, paid media,
creative, CRM, and compliance. Most developers are better served by a
specialist than a general marketing agency. A team with real estate experience
already understands MahaRERA disclosure rules, micro-market dynamics, and the
sales-visit funnel that generalist agencies often get wrong. That&#039;s why Altois
builds lead qualification, walk-in tracking, and CRM automation into every
campaign from day one, not as an afterthought.

The Real Takeaway for Developers

Digital marketing for Indian real estate isn&#039;t one tactic. It&#039;s a
connected system


 
  
  Stage
  
  
  What It Does
  
 
 
  
  Local SEO
  
  
  Gets your project found
  
 
 
  
  Performance Marketing
  
  
  Brings in qualified interest
  
 
 
  
  Creative &amp; Social
  
  
  Builds the trust buyers need before they commit
  
 
 
  
  CRM Automation
  
  
  Makes sure none of that effort goes to waste
  
 


Most developers don&#039;t fail at real estate marketing because one
channel underperforms. They fail because these pieces are handled separately,
by different vendors, with no one connecting the dots between an ad click and a
signed booking.

If you&#039;re a developer trying to get more bookings from your marketing
spend, start by fixing that connection first. A team that has already run this
system for other real estate projects can save you months of trial and error
and get your next launch to site visits faster. ]]></description>

By bringing together services, amenities and community engagement into a
single, intuitive platform, we are simplifying everyday experiences for our
tenants while enabling more connected workplaces. We will continue to enhance
the platform with new innovations, including in-app experience personalisation,
smartwatch building access, and exclusive tenant access to deals, promotions
and priority booking for event experiences.&quot;

Aryoman Langrana, Vice President – Transformation &amp; Product
Strategy, Cowrks, said “Converge was built with a clear objective -
to simplify how employees interact with the workplace by bringing together
services, amenities, access, and engagement into a single digital experience.
The platform has been designed to integrate seamlessly with multiple campus
systems while remaining intuitive and scalable for users. As workplace
expectations continue to evolve, our focus remains on leveraging technology to
create more connected, efficient, and experience-led environments for our
tenant communities.”

The platform has witnessed strong growth across BGRE’s portfolio, with
monthly active user engagement reaching up to 75% across fully adopted
campuses, reflecting its increasing relevance in day-to-day workplace interactions.

Converge has also become a key enabler of workplace services within
BGRE campuses. The platform currently powers food ordering across 100+
restaurant partners, with deliveries scaling to over 3,000 orders per month,
demonstrating strong adoption driven by convenience and integrated service
offerings. Combining food orders and other in-app purchases, Converge
facilitated over ₹17 crore in transactions annually, improving convenience for
tenants across our campuses.

It also supports seamless campus operations through its integrated
digital infrastructure, maintaining a system uptime of ~99.99% while delivering
a reliable, scalable experience for tenant employees across BGRE’s campuses.

With continued investments in technology and user experience, Converge

experience-led workplaces for global and Indian enterprises.

Kolkata, August 24, 2026 : In a significant step
towards strengthening the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ecosystem in
West Bengal, CSRBOX and the Finance Department, Government of West Bengal, have
come together in a strategic collaboration to advance meaningful corporate
engagement around the State’s development priorities.

development. It seeks to strengthen the interface between public priorities and
responsible corporate action, while enabling more structured engagement across
the State’s CSR ecosystem.

meaningful value where it is most relevant.”

The collaboration will focus on strengthening stakeholder engagement,
enabling greater alignment of CSR efforts with sectoral and geographic
priorities, and fostering stronger linkages among Government departments,

<title>Beyond the Messaging Vendor: Why Enterprises Are Rethinking Communication Infrastructure</title>

<description><![CDATA[ VeUp Technologies
launches Velocity Middleware, an intelligent control layer designed to bring
order, resilience, and visibility to enterprise communication at scale

Enterprise communication was never meant to be this complicated. A
single OTP, payment confirmation, or delivery alert can pass through half a
dozen systems — an SMS gateway here, a WhatsApp Business API there, a voice
provider on standby — before it ever reaches a customer. Each of those systems
has its own uptime record, its own failure modes, and its own blind spots. For
most large organizations, this patchwork has quietly become one of the most
fragile parts of the technology stack.

VeUp Technologies,
a Bengaluru-based provider of communication infrastructure for Indian
enterprises, is addressing this growing complexity through Velocity
Middleware , an intelligent control layer designed to work above an
enterprise’s existing communication vendors and systems. Rather than replacing
existing infrastructure, it brings these disparate platforms together to
orchestrate, monitor, and optimize communication traffic in real time, giving
enterprises greater control, visibility, and resilience across their customer
communication ecosystem.

The Hidden Cost of Communication Sprawl

Ask any CIO at a bank, insurer, or fintech how many communication
vendors sit behind their customer-facing notifications, and the answer is
rarely a single number. It is usually a list: one SMS aggregator for reach, a
second as backup, a voice provider for IVR and OTP fallback, a WhatsApp
Business Solution Provider for rich messaging, and email infrastructure running
in parallel. Each was likely onboarded to solve a specific problem at a
specific point in time. Together, they form a system nobody fully owns.

This sprawl carries real operational weight. Vendor outages — even
short ones — can stall OTP delivery during login or payment flows, a failure
mode with outsized consequences in BFSI and fintech, where a delayed one-time
password can mean an abandoned transaction or a compliance-relevant delay. SMS
delivery rates fluctuate by circle, by telecom operator, and by time of day,
often without warning. Scaling for a festive-season sale or a policy-renewal
cycle means renegotiating throughput with multiple providers simultaneously.
And because each vendor reports success and failure differently, enterprises
frequently lack a single, trustworthy view of what is actually happening to
their messages after they leave internal systems.

The operational cost compounds the technical one. Engineering teams
end up building and maintaining custom logic — retry rules, fallback sequences,
load distribution — inside their own application layer, essentially reinventing
infrastructure that should not be application-specific in the first place. It
is a pattern VeUp&#039;s leadership has observed repeatedly across its enterprise
client base.

A Different Category: Middleware, Not Another Vendor

Velocity Middleware is built on a distinction that VeUp considers
central to its design philosophy: it does not compete with an enterprise&#039;s
existing communication vendors — it manages them.

Where a typical messaging provider offers a single channel and a
single point of failure, Velocity sits between the enterprise application layer
and the vendor ecosystem, making real-time decisions about which vendor, route,
or channel should carry each message based on live performance data. If one
vendor&#039;s delivery rates dip in a particular telecom circle, Velocity can
redirect traffic automatically. If a primary gateway goes down entirely,
failover to a secondary provider happens without manual intervention and,
ideally, without the end customer ever noticing.

This orchestration layer approach reflects a broader shift already
underway in enterprise IT. Just as businesses stopped managing individual
servers in favor of orchestration platforms, and stopped manually routing
network traffic in favor of intelligent load balancers, communication
infrastructure is following the same trajectory — from manual, vendor-by-vendor
management toward a coordinated, policy-driven layer that sits above the
providers themselves.

Inside the Architecture: Intelligent Routing and Real-Time Control

At the core of Velocity is an intelligent routing engine that
continuously evaluates vendor performance — delivery success rates, latency,
and cost — and routes each message accordingly, rather than relying on static,
pre-configured rules that go stale the moment a vendor&#039;s network conditions
change.

Several architectural principles support this:

Vendor orchestration. Velocity treats each connected vendor as one
node in a managed network rather than a standalone dependency, allowing
enterprises to add, remove, or rebalance vendors without re-architecting their
own systems.

Automatic failover and load balancing.
When a route degrades or fails, traffic shifts to healthy alternatives within
the existing vendor mix, distributing load to avoid overwhelming any single
provider during peak periods — a distinction that matters for e-commerce
platforms managing flash sales or insurers processing renewal-season volumes.

Delivery optimization. By continuously
learning which routes perform best for a given operator, region, or message
type, the system aims to improve delivery consistency over time rather than
treating every message identically.

High-throughput capacity. Velocity is engineered
to sustain high transactions-per-second volumes, a requirement for banks and
fintechs processing OTPs and alerts at scale during peak transaction windows.

Real-time monitoring and visibility.
Rather than reconciling delivery reports from multiple vendor dashboards after
the fact, enterprises get a consolidated, real-time view of communication
health across every connected channel and provider.

High availability by design. The architecture
assumes vendor failure is inevitable and is built to route around it, rather
than treating downtime as an exception to be handled manually when it occurs.

For a healthcare provider sending appointment reminders and lab result
alerts, this means fewer missed notifications during peak clinic hours. For an
e-commerce platform, it means order and delivery updates that hold up during
flash sales, when message volume can spike tenfold in minutes. For a bank or
NBFC, it means OTP and transaction alerts that are less likely to fail silently
at the exact moment a customer is trying to complete a payment.

Why Middleware Is Becoming Infrastructure, Not an Add-On

For years, communication vendor selection was treated as a procurement
decision — pick a reliable provider, sign a contract, integrate an API. That
model assumed a single vendor could reliably serve an enterprise&#039;s full
communication load. At scale, across regions, channels, and use cases, that
assumption increasingly breaks down.

&quot;Enterprises don&#039;t fail because they chose the wrong
communication vendor,&quot; said Pankaj Jain, CEO of VeUp Technologies.
&quot;They fail because they never built a layer that could manage vendors
intelligently in the first place. Velocity exists to close that gap — not by
replacing what enterprises already use, but by making it work harder, more
reliably, and with far greater visibility than any single vendor can offer on
its own.&quot;

That framing — control layer rather than replacement — is deliberate.
VeUp designed Velocity to integrate with an enterprise&#039;s existing SMS, voice,
WhatsApp, and email vendors rather than requiring a rip-and-replace migration,
an approach intended to lower the barrier to adoption for organizations that
have already invested years and budget into their current vendor relationships.
Integration happens at the orchestration layer, leaving existing contracts,
compliance approvals, and vendor relationships intact while adding a
coordinating intelligence above them.

A Control Layer for the Next Phase of Enterprise Communication

As digital transaction volumes continue to grow across Indian BFSI,
fintech, healthcare, and retail, the tolerance for communication failure is
shrinking in parallel. A missed OTP is no longer a minor inconvenience — it is
a customer experience failure with measurable business impact, and in regulated
sectors, a potential compliance concern.

VeUp&#039;s positioning of Velocity as a control layer rather than a vendor
reflects a broader wager: that the next competitive advantage in enterprise
communication will not come from any single channel or provider, but from the
intelligence that sits above all of them — deciding, in real time, how to deliver
every message with the highest possible reliability.

For enterprise architects and digital transformation leaders
evaluating their communication stack, the question Velocity poses is a pointed
one: not which vendor should we choose next, but whether vendor choice should
be a manual decision at all.

VeUp Technologies is headquartered in Bengaluru and serves enterprise
clients across banking, financial services, insurance, fintech, retail, and
healthcare. More information is available at veup.io. ]]></description>

<title>Beyond the Booth: The Brandologist Co. Captures 35 Founder Stories at Bharatiya Vyapar Mahotsav (BVM) 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Brandologist Co. independently recorded
conversations with 35 founders, directors and business leaders through its BVM
Founder Stories initiative during Bharatiya Vyapar Mahotsav 2026 at Bharat
Mandapam, New Delhi.

New Delhi : Bharatiya Vyapar Mahotsav (BVM)
2026 brought together Indian businesses, entrepreneurs and homegrown brands
across sectors at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, from August 12–15, 2026.
Positioned as “India’s Largest Multi-Sectoral Business Expo of Bharatiya
Brands” and a major Make in India multi-sectoral trade expo, the event carried
the spirit of “Made in India. Made for India. Made for the World.”

The theme also reflected the broader
national focus on Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India — encouraging stronger
indigenous enterprise, self-reliance and globally competitive Indian
businesses. Against this backdrop, The
Brandologist Co. chose to spotlight a part of the exhibition story that
often remains unseen: the people behind the businesses.

Through its independent BVM Founder Stories
initiative, The Brandologist Co. recorded conversations with 35 founders,
directors and business leaders during the four-day expo.

The series featured business leaders
associated with organisations including Shriram
Finance , Harrison Locks , Omaxe Group , Cellecor , TRV Sports , Kranti Soaps , Geo Spar Developers , RCM
, NP AV Cyber Security , Bupati Steels , Bay Breeze Coolers , Marsin
Technology , KLW Masale , Drool , Prodot , Green Planet India
, Glory Infocomm , GTC Pots , 1to3 Foods and Spar Geo
Infra , among several others.

Rather than focusing only on products,
stalls or company pitches, BVM Founder Stories explored how these businesses
were built, the challenges their leaders faced, defining turning points,
lessons learnt over the years and the thinking behind what they are building
next.

The Story
Behind the Business

Exhibitions naturally put companies in the
spotlight. Visitors see products, displays, brochures, teams, innovations and
brand communication. What often remains invisible is the journey of the person
or team that built the business.

That became the core idea behind BVM
Founder Stories.

Across the 35 conversations, industries and
business models differed, but several themes kept returning — starting small,
navigating uncertainty, building teams, earning customer trust, adapting to
changing markets and continuing to grow through difficult phases.

For The Brandologist Co., the conversations
reflected the depth of experience that exists within India’s MSME and business
ecosystem but often remains limited to boardrooms, internal teams and personal
networks.

“Exhibitions are full of company stories,
but very few founder stories. Behind many of these businesses are 10, 20 or
even 30 years of experience, struggle, decisions and learning. Through BVM
Founder Stories, we wanted to bring that side of business into the spotlight.”

— Sudhir Makhija, Founder, The Brandologist Co.

The initiative also connected naturally
with the spirit of Bharatiya Vyapar Mahotsav 2026. If BVM 2026 showcased what
Bharatiya businesses are building, BVM Founder Stories sought to capture the
people, experiences and thinking behind those businesses.

From
Experience to Visible Authority

The initiative also reflects a wider shift
in B2B communication.

For years, many successful business owners built
strong companies while remaining relatively invisible outside their immediate
business networks. Today, customers, partners, employees and other stakeholders
increasingly want to understand the people behind the companies they engage
with — their experience, thinking, values and point of view.

The Brandologist Co. works with established business
owners through Founder Personal Branding and 360° Marketing, helping turn years
of experience and credibility into stronger visibility, authority and business
opportunities.

Experience creates credibility. Visibility creates authority. And
authority can create opportunity.

For founders who have spent years building
companies, that visibility is not about becoming an influencer. It is about
making hard-earned business experience more visible, discoverable and useful to
the ecosystem around them.

Beyond Lead
Collection: The Exhibition ROI Question

The company believes a similar gap exists
in exhibitions.

For many exhibitors, success is still
measured by a familiar question: “How many leads did we collect?”

The bigger question is: “How many of those
leads actually converted into business?”

After an exhibition, potentially valuable
opportunities can easily get scattered across visiting cards, WhatsApp
conversations, spreadsheets, quotations, CRM systems and individual
salespeople. Without a structured follow-up and accountability process, even
strong enquiries can gradually lose momentum.

The Brandologist Co. also works on Exhibition ROI and
Lead Conversion, helping exhibitors build structured follow-up and
accountability systems around serious opportunities so that exhibition activity
has a better chance of translating into measurable business.

“For us, visibility is only half the job.
Whether it is personal branding or an exhibition, attention eventually has to
translate into measurable business.”

— Sudhir Makhija

35
Conversations. 35 Different Journeys.

For The Brandologist Co., Bharatiya Vyapar
Mahotsav 2026 became an opportunity not only to observe businesses, but to
document the people building them.

The 35 conversations represented different
sectors, stages of growth and entrepreneurial journeys. Yet one thing remained
common — years of experience, decisions and lessons that rarely get captured
through a stall, brochure or product catalogue.

The BVM Founder Stories initiative aims to
bring those journeys to a wider business audience through digital platforms,
allowing people to discover not just what these companies do, but also the
thinking and experiences of those who built them.

For audiences, the series offers a closer
look at the people behind familiar and emerging businesses. For founders and
business leaders, it creates an opportunity to share not just their products or
services, but the lessons, convictions and turning points that shaped their
journey.

And for The Brandologist Co., the
initiative reflects a broader belief that some of the strongest business assets
already exist within an organisation — in the experience, credibility and
journey of the people behind it.

Behind every stall is a business.
Behind every business is a journey.
And every journey has a story worth
telling.

The BVM Founder Stories series will be
released across digital platforms over the coming weeks.

<title>Hafeez Contractor raises urban concerns at CWAB Awards</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/hafeez-contractor-raises-urban-concerns-at-cwab-awards</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/hafeez-contractor-raises-urban-concerns-at-cwab-awards</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, August 24, 2026 : “India is now building
hyperscale data centres, semiconductor facilities, giga battery plants and
sophisticated Global Capability Centres. These demand extraordinary
precision in power, cooling, clean-room environments, fire safety, structural
systems and services coordination. You cannot build the infrastructure of
the future with yesterday&#039;s processes. These projects require technology.
And they require high-grade skills. That is why we have integrated the
Construction Technology Summit with the Construction World Architect &amp; Builder
Awards (CWAB) Awards to create The ConTech Show,” stated Pratap
Padode, Founder, FIRST Construction Council while kicking off India’s first
construction technology expo, conference and awards platform which integrates
the entire ecosystem of architects, builders, developers, startup innovators,
funds, banks and technology companies.

The Construction Technology Show (CTS) 2026 with the 21st
CONSTRUCTION WORLD Architect &amp; Builder Awards (CWAB) 2026, was held on
August 19 and 20 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai.

CTS 2026, themed “From Blueprint to Build: Making Construction
Technology Work on Ground”, brought together developers, contractors,
architects, consultants, technology companies and industry leaders to examine
how technologies such as AI, BIM, digital twins, robotics and analytics can
address real challenges in project execution.

The discussions focused on the gap between technology&#039;s potential and
its adoption at construction sites, the use of technology in large
infrastructure projects, and AI&#039;s transition from experimentation to practical
implementation. The exhibition showcased a growing ecosystem of solutions
across digital engineering, AI, robotics, visualisation, analytics and project
management.

CTS 2026 also marked the debut of the ConTech Awards, recognising
startups and innovators transforming the construction technology ecosystem.
Winners included RDash and Inkers Technology for ConTech Startup of the Year;
SitePace.AI and Bandhoo Solutions and Services for Best AI Solution for
Construction; Aasaan Tech and RDash for Best Project Management/SaaS Platform;
5D VDC Services and Bandhoo Solutions and Services for Best BIM/Digital Twin
Solution; and Zenalyst and Aasaan Tech for the Industry Adoption Award.

The conversation then moved from how India is building to what and
who are shaping the built environment, as the 21st CWAB recognised
excellence across architecture, impactful projects, construction technology,
sustainability and real estate.

The awards, built around the theme of Materiality, brought
together leading architects, developers, builders and industry experts. Winners
were evaluated by eminent jury panels representing architecture, engineering,
construction, real estate, finance and sustainability.

“The credibility of an award lies in the rigour behind it. CWAB has
always been built on a robust evaluation process and the collective expertise
of our eminent juries. This year, we have recognised excellence across
generations, disciplines and scales of the built environment,” said Falguni
Padode, Co-founder and Group Managing Editor, ASAPP Info Global Group.

A key highlight was the CWAB Legacy Recognition – Editor&#039;s Choice
Award, presented to URC Construction for 70 Years of Trust,
Technology and Timely Delivery.

The evening also saw the presentation of the Hafeez Contractor
Awards for Young Architects, recognising four emerging professionals: Nikhil
Gyan Bhandari, Vishwas Venkat, Shashank Shahabadi and Ravideep Singh. The
awards highlighted the next generation of architects bringing new approaches to
design, context and technical execution. Speaking at the occasion, expressing
concern Hafeez Contractor stated, “Earlier, years ago, I believed that vertical
growth was the way to go but of late after observing all concerning elements, I
feel that we cannot encroach upon forests and green spaces and we must provide
for them adequately for a good ecological balance.”

Two new recognitions further connected the themes of CWAB and CTS. HAACE
– Tailor Made Bespoke Construction won the Construction Technology
Innovation Award 2026 for its M-80 Concrete Monolith Construction solution,
while Bhawanipur House, Kolkata, won the Sustainable Project of the
Year for its adaptive reuse of a century-old structure.

The awards also recognised India&#039;s Most Impactful Projects across
architecture and interiors, alongside leading architectural practices and
real-estate companies. In the interiors categories, winners included AMRUT,
The Atrium House, Mercury EV Tech Pvt Ltd Office Building Interior, JGMM
Library, Celestial Manor and Gulmohar Lane Flagship Store.

Among the major real-estate companies recognised were Sunteck
Realty, Raymond Realty, Kalpataru, Signature Global, Ajmera Realty, Sobha,
Godrej Properties, Brigade Enterprises and Prestige Estates, reflecting
different growth and scale stories across India&#039;s real-estate sector.

Together, CTS and CWAB 2026 reflected an industry in transition. While
CTS focused on making technology work at scale and demonstrating measurable
returns from innovation, CWAB celebrated the architects, projects, builders,
developers and institutions translating innovation into India&#039;s evolving built
environment.

The combined CTS and CWAB platform was supported by Zenalyst as AI
Innovation Partner; HAACE as Bespoke Construction Specialist Partner; RIB as
Technology Partner; HDFC Capital as Knowledge Partner; Highbar Technocrat as

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India] : The wait is over! The much-awaited inspirational song “Maya Moh” is now out, marking a significant musical milestone ahead of the release of the film Children of God. Inspired by the timeless wisdom and philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita, the song is being presented as a musical offering to Lord Krishna ahead of Janmashtami.Sung by Aushim Khetarpal, “Maya Moh” brings together spirituality, devotion and contemporary music, with a message that goes beyond language and geographical boundaries. The music has been composed by Rupesh Mishra and Shailendra Mishra, while the lyrics have been penned by Shailendra Mishra.One Krishna. One Message. One World.The release of “Maya Moh” carries a larger vision — “One Krishna. One Message. One World.” The makers aim to take the song’s spiritual message to audiences not only across India but around the world. The Hindi version is now available, while five additional language versions are planned subsequently. Aushim Khetarpal will also lend his voice to the different language versions, making “Maya Moh” an ambitious multilingual musical journey.With Janmashtami around the corner, the release of “Maya Moh” comes at a significant time. Drawing inspiration from the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, the song touches upon themes of faith, surrender, inner strength and finding a higher purpose.Rather than being positioned merely as a devotional track, “Maya Moh” attempts to connect the spiritual philosophy of Krishna with contemporary listeners. Its message of hope, courage and faith is intended to resonate with audiences across generations.Aushim Khetarpal’s Devotional VoiceAushim Khetarpal brings an emotional and soulful quality to the song through his vocals. The musical team, comprising composers Rupesh Mishra and Shailendra Mishra and lyricist Shailendra Mishra, has created a composition that blends spiritual thought with a contemporary musical sensibility.The Musical Prelude to Children of God “Maya Moh” forms an important part of the musical journey leading up to Children of God. By releasing the song before the film, the makers are giving audiences an early glimpse into the spiritual and emotional world of the movie.The song also sets the tone for a film that explores themes of spirituality, humanity, faith and the Divine, building anticipation for its theatrical release. With “Maya Moh” now out, the makers are looking beyond a conventional film-song release and envisioning a global musical journey inspired by Lord Krishna.One Krishna. One Message. One World.Because while language may change and music may evolve, the message of Krishna continues to remain universal. ]]></description>

<title>Hyderabad Edtech Edwisely Powers SASTRA.AI, Betting India&amp;apos;s Universities Are Ready to Move Past the LMS</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/hyderabad-edtech-edwisely-powers-sastraai-betting-indias-universities-are-ready-to-move-past-the-lms</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/hyderabad-edtech-edwisely-powers-sastraai-betting-indias-universities-are-ready-to-move-past-the-lms</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Hyderabad-based edtech Edwisely (Hakate Technologies Private
Limited) has gone live with SASTRA.AI, an AI-driven learning initiative built
for SASTRA Deemed University, marking one of the more visible bets yet that
Indian higher education is ready to replace not just augment its legacy learning
management systems (LMS) with what the company calls &quot;intelligent learning
infrastructure&quot; (ILI).

SASTRA.AI was one of six new institutional
schemes unveiled at SASTRA&#039;s Ruby &amp; Silver Jubilee Valedictory Celebrations
on August 17, 2026, in Thanjavur a lineup that also included a cybersecurity
and communications tie-up with Tata Communications, a faculty research fund
(SASTRA STRIDE), an internationalisation initiative (SASTRA MAITRI), and a
digital learning access programme (DRISHTI). Vice President C. P. Radhakrishnan
delivered the valedictory address and launched all six schemes, with Tamil Nadu
and Kerala Governor R. V. Arlekar and Tamil Nadu Higher Education Minister P.
Viswanathan attending as guests of honour.

That SASTRA.AI was positioned alongside a
Tata Communications partnership as one of the university&#039;s six flagship
priorities rather than announced as a standalone initiative is itself a signal
of how seriously the institution is treating the shift, at a time when most
AI-in-education headlines are still about chatbots bolted onto existing
systems.

&quot;SASTRA.AI is intelligently designed
to empower faculty and students with deeper, actionable insights fostering a
culture of continuous improvement in teaching and learning,&quot; said Harsha
Kankanala, Founder, Edwisely.

The category bet

Edwisely&#039;s pitch is a deliberate departure
from how most institutions have approached AI so far. Instead of adding an AI
chatbot or tool on top of the university&#039;s existing systems, Edwisely built a
new foundation underneath teaching, assessment, mentoring and student outcomes
one designed to connect and make sense of academic data that usually sits
scattered across separate systems.

In practice for SASTRA, that means faculty
get AI support across lesson planning, assessment design and progress tracking,
with earlier visibility into students who may need additional help while the
university gets a unified view of academic data that a traditional LMS, built
primarily for content delivery and administration, was not designed to provide.

Not a cold start

The SASTRA deployment follows more than a
year of faculty development work between the two organisations, focused on
applying AI to lesson planning and assessment suggesting the anniversary launch
formalises an existing relationship rather than announcing a new one.

Edwisely says the underlying technology is
proprietary, built specifically for higher education rather than adapted from
general-purpose AI tools a claim backed by an Indian patent granted to Hakate
Technologies on August 17, 2026, the same day SASTRA.AI was launched.

Where this fits

Indian universities have spent roughly two
decades digitising administration, records and content delivery through LMS
platforms. SASTRA.AI is a bet that the next wave of edtech spending shifts from
managing education digitally to making the learning process itself measurably
more effective.

Whether that bet pays off at scale will
likely depend on institutions with large in-house tech teams some of whom may
consider building similar systems themselves rather than buying one. For now,
SASTRA.AI gives Edwisely a marquee, high-visibility reference point to make its
case to the rest of the sector.

About Edwisely Edwisely (Hakate
Technologies Private Limited) is a Hyderabad-based higher-education technology
company building Intelligent Learning Infrastructure (ILI) for AI-enabled
campuses. Founded in 2017 by IIT Madras and TU Delft alumni, Edwisely works
with more than 60 institutions and has more than 2.1 lakh students and 8,000+
faculty on its platform. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, 22nd August 2026: LuLu
Mall, Lulu Hypermarket and Funtura Bengaluru brought the spirit of
Varamahalakshmi Habba to life this week with a series of festivities that
blended tradition, community participation and shopping, drawing hundreds of
visitors between 17th and 21st August. The celebrations culminated on 19th
August with a live rangoli competition, a felicitation ceremony for winners,
and an evening Kannada Jam Session on 21st August that had families
singing along to beloved Kannada favourites.

The festivities opened with a dedicated Varamahalakshmi Habba mini
market at the mall, where shoppers browsed pooja essentials, festive décor and
traditional finds to prepare for the auspicious occasion. Visitors, many
dressed in traditional silk sarees and festive attire, were seen shopping
together with family through the specially decorated corridors, adorned with
banana leaf borders, marigold garlands and festive signage around the stalls.

A highlight of the week was the large scale rangoli competition held
on the mall&#039;s atrium floor, which saw over 126 participants from young girls to
homemakers and senior citizens meticulously sieving coloured powders and hand
crafting intricate floor art. A panel of judges toured the numbered entries
before announcing Winner and Runner-Up titles on stage, with prizes presented
amid confetti to jubilant participants and their families.

Underlining the scale of the celebration, LuLu Hypermarket, LuLu Mall
Bengaluru and Funtura together dedicated significant space to exclusive festive
offers for customers through the week, alongside special festive combos at LuLu
Hypermarket timed to the Varamahalakshmi shopping season.

The celebrations closed on the evening of 21st August with the Kannada
Jam Session, a live music evening that brought together performers for a night
of melody celebrating Kannada culture. Visitors gathered on the atrium floor to
sing along to popular Kannada favourites, turning the mall into a community
stage for the festival&#039;s closing hours.

“Varamahalakshmi Habba is one of the most cherished festivals for
Kannadiga families, and it was heartening to see that spirit come alive at LuLu
Mall Bengaluru from the dedication of our rangoli participants to families
shopping together and singing together at the jam session. Bringing LuLu
Hypermarket, LuLu Mall and Funtura together to create space for exclusive
festive offers was our way of making the celebrations a little more rewarding
for our customers, this is part of our continued commitment to celebrate
festivals like these throughout the year and we look forward to bringing many
more such celebrations to Bengaluru” said Mr. Noman Aziz
Khan, Director of Karnataka Region, LuLu Group India.

The Varamahalakshmi Habba celebrations reaffirm LuLu Group&#039;s continued

<title>Akhil Bharatiya Yadav Mahasangh Organises Mahaprasadi and Pure Bottled Water Distribution at Ujjain Mahakal on Nag Panchami and Sawan Somwar</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh) [India] : On the auspicious occasion of Nag Panchami and Sawan Somwar, the Akhil Bharatiya Yadav Mahasangh organised a special service initiative at Ujjain Mahakal, offering Mahaprasadi and pure bottled drinking water to devotees visiting the sacred city.Sawan holds immense religious significance for devotees of Lord Shiva, while Nag Panchami is another important occasion marked by devotion and traditional worship. During these auspicious days, Ujjain witnesses a large gathering of devotees who arrive from different parts of the country to seek the blessings of Baba Mahakal.Keeping the needs of devotees in mind, the Akhil Bharatiya Yadav Mahasangh arranged Mahaprasadi and pure bottled water as part of its service initiative. The effort was aimed at providing support and convenience to devotees during their visit to the holy city.The initiative was led by Amar Singh Yadav, Founder of Akhil Bharatiya Yadav Mahasangh. Under his leadership, the organisation has focused on promoting the spirit of service and community participation during important religious and social occasions.Speaking about the initiative, Amar Singh Yadav emphasised the importance of serving devotees during such sacred occasions. According to him, religious festivals are not only about prayers and worship but also provide an opportunity to contribute to society and extend support to people in need.The distribution of Mahaprasadi reflects the traditional spirit of devotion and community service associated with Indian religious celebrations. At the same time, providing pure bottled drinking water was intended to address an essential need of devotees, particularly those spending extended periods at the temple and surrounding areas.Ujjain holds a special place in India&#039;s spiritual landscape, with the Mahakaleshwar Temple attracting devotees throughout the year. The number of visitors increases significantly during the holy month of Sawan and on important occasions such as Sawan Somwar and Nag Panchami. In such circumstances, initiatives by social organisations can play a meaningful role in supporting devotees and contributing to the overall spirit of the occasion.The Akhil Bharatiya Yadav Mahasangh&#039;s initiative brought together religious devotion and social service, reflecting the organisation&#039;s commitment to community participation. Through the distribution of Mahaprasadi and drinking water, the organisation sought to make the pilgrimage experience more comfortable for devotees visiting Baba Mahakal.For Amar Singh Yadav and the Akhil Bharatiya Yadav Mahasangh, the initiative represents a broader message of seva, compassion and collective responsibility. Serving people during a sacred occasion is seen as an opportunity to strengthen community bonds and encourage others to participate in social welfare activities.The programme at Ujjain Mahakal on Nag Panchami and Sawan Somwar thus became an expression of faith combined with service. The initiative highlighted how religious occasions can also serve as platforms for community engagement, cooperation and helping fellow devotees.Through such activities, the Akhil Bharatiya Yadav Mahasangh continues to underline the importance of service alongside devotion, with the objective of contributing positively to society and supporting people during significant religious gatherings.https://www.instagram.com/abymofficial?igsh=a3I1bHB4cmh3djh1 ]]></description>

<title>ITW Universe Highlights India&#45;Afghanistan T20I Series as a Cricket Springboard into the Festive Season</title>

<description><![CDATA[ ~ The three-match series presents brands with an opportunity to build
visibility ahead of India&#039;s festive advertising season ~

New Delhi, 21st August 2026 : As India’s festive
season approaches, the upcoming three-match India–Afghanistan T20I
series is set to offer brands and media planners a timely opportunity to engage
with cricket audiences ahead of one of the busiest consumption periods of the
year.

Beginning in September, with the first T20I at the Arun Jaitley
Stadium in Delhi, the series will see Afghanistan host reigning T20 World
Champions India. In a rare arrangement, India will be the designated away team
despite the series being played in India, creating a unique commercial
proposition alongside the on-field appeal of a contest featuring some of the
biggest names in T20 cricket.

The series is positioned at the start of the festive advertising
cycle, a period when brands traditionally look to increase visibility and
consumer engagement. With an expected combined reach of approximately 100
million viewers across linear television and OTT, the series is expected to
deliver an audience cutting across key consumer demographics.

What makes the series particularly relevant from a media and marketing
perspective is the range of commercial opportunities it opens up. As an
Afghanistan-hosted series, brands can explore on-ground sponsorships and
broadcast integrations that may otherwise be restricted during India&#039;s home
cricket calendar due to existing sponsorship commitments and category
exclusivities. 

This creates an opportunity for marketers and brands to think out of
the box in terms of bespoke activations and customised integrations that are
possible during the series. Moreover, from an execution viewpoint, it is one of
the first series where all such activations, campaigns and media integrations
are being facilitated through a single-window touchpoint, making campaign
planning more agile and efficient. 

Cricket has traditionally been an important platform for brands
looking to build momentum ahead of the festive season, when advertising and
consumer activity typically intensify. The India-Afghanistan series provides an
early opportunity for brands to begin that conversation with consumers, using a
high-engagement sporting property to build awareness and visibility before the
festive period reaches its peak.

Bhairav Shanth, Co-Founder, ITW Universe, said: “The
most valuable opportunities for brands are often those that allow them to enter
a conversation before the clutter builds. This series gives marketers a strong
moment to start engaging consumers as the festive season approaches, while also
thinking beyond conventional advertising. Whether the objective is building
awareness, driving consideration or creating meaningful consumer experiences,
cricket offers brands a highly relevant cultural platform to build momentum at
a time when attention and intent are beginning to rise.”

With the festive season set to drive heightened competition for
consumer attention, the India-Afghanistan T20I series presents an opportunity
for brands to get ahead of the curve, using cricket as a springboard to build
visibility and engagement before the wider festive marketing rush begins.

<title>A Leading Man With Genuine Acting Range</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/a-leading-man-with-genuine-acting-range</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/a-leading-man-with-genuine-acting-range</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

In Hollywood, reaching
the highest level requires far more than simply looking good on camera. The
modern leading actor must combine emotional depth, physical capability,
technical awareness, versatility, discipline, and an unmistakable screen
presence. Rish Sinha has deliberately built his skill set around that complete
package.

 

His greatest advantage
is not one individual ability—it is the combination of abilities he can bring
to a production.

 

A
Leading Man With Genuine Acting Range

 

At the center of Rish’s
strengths is versatility as a performer.

 

His acting range
extends from romance and emotionally nuanced performances to larger-than-life
mass-entertainment characters and action heroes. He is comfortable approaching
performances through method-based preparation while also understanding the
importance of spontaneity and improvisation.

 

That flexibility
matters in Hollywood because today’s leading roles are rarely one-dimensional.
An action hero may also need vulnerability. A romantic lead may need intensity.
A dramatic protagonist may suddenly be required to carry humor, physical
action, or psychological complexity.

 

Rish’s objective is to
be the actor who can move convincingly between those worlds rather than being
restricted to a single genre.

 

An
Actor Who Understands the Camera

 

Performance does not
exist independently of filmmaking.

 

Rish brings an
understanding of camera blocking, lighting setups, positioning, continuity, and
emotional authenticity on set. Knowing how to adapt a performance to the lens
can make an actor significantly more effective during production.

 

A close-up demands
something different from a wide action sequence. A complicated camera move may
require an actor to reproduce precisely the same physical and emotional beats
across multiple takes.

 

That technical
awareness allows Rish to think not only as a performer but as part of the
filmmaking process.

 

Built
for Action

 

One of Rish’s most
significant competitive advantages is the breadth of his action capabilities.

 

His skills include
high-performance driving, stunt work, fight sequences, wire work, stage combat,
firearms handling, swordplay, and horse riding.

 

For action-oriented
Hollywood projects, that creates substantial versatility.

 

Instead of approaching
an action character only through acting, Rish can understand the physical
language of the character as well—the movement, timing, coordination,
aggression, control, and precision required to make action believable.

 

His experience around
motorcycles, road cars, jet skis, motocross, track driving, ATVs, and
four-wheel-drive vehicles further expands the types of sequences and characters
he can potentially portray.

 

These are particularly
valuable abilities for franchises involving espionage, military characters, superheroes,
crime thrillers, racing, adventure, and large-scale action cinema.

 

Physical
Storytelling

 

Rish’s movement
background provides another dimension.

 

His experience includes
Bollywood dance, contemporary movement, break dance, pole movement, and freestyle.

 

Dance training is about
far more than choreography. It develops rhythm, spatial awareness, balance,
timing, body control, coordination, and confidence—all qualities that translate
directly into acting and action performance.

 

A performer who understands
movement can communicate character even without dialogue.

 

That becomes especially
important in cinematic roles where posture, walking style, fighting movement,
romantic chemistry, and physical presence can define a character before a
single word is spoken.

 

International
Versatility

 

Hollywood has
increasingly become an international industry, and actors capable of crossing
cultural and stylistic boundaries have an important opportunity.

 

Rish’s ability to
perform using American and British dialects gives him additional flexibility
when approaching characters created for international productions.

 

Combined with his
physical and dramatic range, this expands the spectrum of roles for which he
can prepare.

 

The goal is not simply
to fit one category.

 

It is difficult to
categorize.

 

The Advantage Is the
Combination

 

Many performers possess
one exceptional quality.

 

Some are strong
dramatic actors.

 

Some are convincing
action performers.

 

Some can dance.

 

Some have excellent
physical presence.

 

Some understand stunt
work.

 

Some understand the
technical requirements of filmmaking.

 

Rish’s potential
advantage lies in developing all of those disciplines simultaneously.

 

That creates the
foundation of a modern cinematic leading man: someone capable of carrying
romance, drama, action, spectacle, movement, and emotional storytelling within
the same career—and potentially within the same character.

 

Why
Hollywood Could Be the Right Arena

 

Hollywood’s biggest
leading roles increasingly demand actors capable of operating across genres.

 

Think of the
requirements behind a major spy franchise, superhero film, action thriller,
historical epic, romantic drama, or adventure franchise. The actor may have to
deliver an emotionally demanding scene in the morning, execute choreographed
combat later that afternoon, ride or drive during another sequence, and still
command the screen during an intimate close-up.

 

Rish has been
developing precisely the type of multidisciplinary foundation such roles
demand.

 

His combination of
acting range, action capability, physical movement, technical on-set knowledge,
dialect flexibility, driving ability, and performance discipline gives him a
distinctive platform from which to pursue major Hollywood opportunities.

 

There is no shortcut to
becoming one of Hollywood’s leading actors. It requires the right projects,
exceptional performances, professional relationships, strategic career
decisions, persistence, timing, and years of continued development.

 

But the foundation
matters.

 

And Rish Sinha is
building a foundation designed not merely for participation in Hollywood—but
for leading-man territory.

 

His ambition is larger
than appearing on screen.

 

It is to become the kind
of performer audiences believe when he falls in love, when he breaks
emotionally, when he walks into danger, when he fights, when he takes control
of an action sequence—and when the camera simply stays on his face.

 

That combination is
what creates a cinematic star.

 

The objective is not
simply to become another Hollywood actor.

 

It is to develop the
range, physical command, discipline, and screen presence required to compete
for the very top.

<title>Putting Patients at the Heart of Innovation: Voices Across Asia Pacific Help Shape the Future of Structural Heart Care</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/putting-patients-at-the-heart-of-innovation-voices-across-asia-pacific-help-shape-the-future-of-structural-heart-care</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/putting-patients-at-the-heart-of-innovation-voices-across-asia-pacific-help-shape-the-future-of-structural-heart-care</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Patients from Australia, India, Indonesia, South Korea and Singapore
gathered at Edwards Lifesciences&#039; annual APAC Patient Experience event to share
their stories and help advance more patient-centered care.

SINGAPORE, 20 August 2026 : As structural heart disease
continues to impact a growing number of people across Asia Pacific amid a
rapidly ageing population, Edwards Lifesciences (Edwards) brought together
patients for its annual Asia-Pacific Patient Experience event. The programme
created a platform for patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals and
employees to share perspectives, foster meaningful connections and deepen
understanding of the patient journey.

More than 80 million people worldwide live with some type of heart
valve disease, according to the American Heart Association. With Asia Pacific
ageing faster than any other region in the world, a substantial rise in
degenerative valvular heart disease across the region is expected in the coming
years. Recent research highlights valvular heart disease as a growing health
burden across Asia Pacific, driven by demographic changes and increasing life
expectancy. These trends underscore the importance of understanding patient
experiences and ensuring patient perspectives help inform future care. 

The Patient Experience event is a cornerstone of Edwards&#039;
patient-focused culture and reflects the company&#039;s belief that patient voices
should help shape the future of care. By listening directly to patients&#039;
experiences, from diagnosis and treatment through recovery, Edwards gains
valuable insights into the realities of living with structural heart disease.
These perspectives help strengthen patient engagement and advocacy efforts,
inspire innovation rooted in real-world needs, and reinforce the company&#039;s commitment
to improving outcomes and quality of life for patients.

While each patient&#039;s journey was unique, common themes emerged across
the event: unexpected diagnoses, uncertainty and fear following life-changing
news, reliance on family and caregivers for support, and the opportunity to
regain quality of life through timely treatment. Together, their stories
highlighted the importance of greater awareness, earlier intervention,
innovation and patient-centred care.

For Jai Arora, 47, from India, it began with fear. 

&quot;I was in the best shape of my life,&quot; Arora said.
&quot;Finding out I had a serious heart condition was a shock, I never saw
coming. The idea that something could be wrong with my heart, when I felt
invincible, was terrifying.&quot;

For Haehun Choi, 72, from South Korea, the diagnosis came completely
without warning.

&quot;I had no symptoms at all, I felt completely fine,&quot; Choi
said. &quot;It was only because of a routine check-up, and because my daughter
booked me to see a specialist, that we found out how serious it was. If I
hadn&#039;t gone for the check-up, I don&#039;t know when we would have caught it.”

For Qi Le Ee, 17, from Singapore — the diagnosis came completely out
of the blue, beginning with nothing more than a persistent fever.

“It started with just a fever, we thought it was dengue,” said Ee. “I
was quite shocked when we found out how serious it actually was. Nothing about
it seemed like a heart problem, until suddenly it was.”

For Hermani, from Indonesia, it meant leaning on his family.

&quot;This journey was never something I faced alone,&quot; Hermani
said. &quot;I trusted my son to help me make the right decisions, and I trusted
the team who cared for me. Having them by my side made all the
difference.&quot;

For Geoff Lewis, 75, from Australia, it meant returning to spending
more time with his family.

&quot;Every day I just seem to feel a little better,&quot; Lewis said.
&quot;It&#039;s been like a second wind. “The first effect after the operation was
phenomenal. I&#039;m able to do so much more, and I&#039;m not slowing down the way I
used to and able to spend more time with my family.”

Turning Patient Insights into Action

Beyond their personal journeys, the stories shared during the event
offered valuable insights into the realities of living with structural heart
disease. From recognizing symptoms and navigating diagnosis to making treatment
decisions and recovering with the support of family and caregivers, these
experiences highlighted opportunities to better support patients throughout the
care journey.

&quot;At Edwards, innovation begins with understanding the people we
serve,&quot; said Amit Raheja, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific, Edwards
Lifesciences. &quot;The Patient Experience gives us the opportunity to learn
directly from patients and caregivers about the realities of living with
structural heart disease. Their experiences remind us that behind every
innovation is a person, a family and a journey, and they help guide us as we
work to improve outcomes for patients around the world.&quot;

Beyond patient sharing sessions, the programme included a tour of
Edwards&#039; Singapore facility and demonstrations showcasing the craftsmanship
involved in developing structural heart technologies, offering patients a
closer look at the people, expertise and care behind every innovation.

By bringing together patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals
and employees, Edwards hopes to foster greater awareness of structural heart
disease while ensuring patient voices continue to inform the future of care
across Asia Pacific.

heart innovation company, driven by a passion to improve patient lives. Through

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/skyesports-partners-with-the-giant-hunt-to-power-a-global-anime-movement-from-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The partnership will see Skyesports lead the end-to-end execution of
The GIANT Hunt in India, a global anime initiative featuring a ₹3 crore prize
pool and an official attempt at the Guinness World Records title for the
world’s largest anime art contest.

Chennai — August 20, 2026: Skyesports, a leading
esports and gaming IP plus community builder, has joined hands with The GIANT
Hunt, the flagship anime intellectual property from IMAGE Infotainment Limited,
as its end-to-end execution partner.

At the heart of The GIANT Hunt is a global anime and manga art contest
featuring a ₹3 crore prize pool, alongside an official attempt at the Guinness
World Records title for the world’s largest anime art contest, culminating in a
two-day anime festival and prize distribution ceremony . The initiative aims to
bring together artists, students, creators and anime enthusiasts from across
the world, while building a global platform for creative talent from India.

What makes The GIANT Hunt a unique competition is that, in addition to
giving creators a grand opportunity to showcase their work, it also provides
non-creator anime fans with a platform to learn, build their skills and
confidently create their own original characters and stories. Through
structured learning, guided tutorials and expert-led masterclasses, the
initiative aims to nurture the next generation of creators and give aspiring
artists the confidence and skills to take their first steps towards creating
original intellectual property.

Adding further global credibility to the initiative is its
international jury, comprising accomplished professionals and experts from the
anime and manga space. Their experience and expertise will bring an
international perspective to the evaluation of entries and provide participants
with an opportunity to have their work assessed by established voices in the
field.

As part of the partnership, Skyesports will work closely with IMAGE
Infotainment Limited to plan, manage and execute The GIANT Hunt in India. The
mandate will encompass event operations, production, gaming activations,
sponsor deliverables, creator engagement, on-ground logistics and other key
elements of the festival experience.

The partnership comes at a time when anime, gaming and creator culture
are increasingly converging to shape India&#039;s youth and entertainment landscape.
By bringing these communities together through a large-scale platform, The
GIANT Hunt aims to create meaningful opportunities for emerging creators while
contributing to the growth of India&#039;s wider AVGC and digital entertainment
ecosystem.

Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO, Skyesports,
said, “Anime and gaming are becoming defining pillars of youth culture in

<description><![CDATA[ Two-day
MMA spectacle to feature 13 professional bouts, including India vs Philippines
and India vs Russia matchups

Mumbai, 20th August 2026: WDS,
India’s largest, fastest-growing and most consistent premier Mixed Martial Arts
(MMA) promotion, has announced Fight Night 18, scheduled to take place on
August 28 and 29, 2026, at CIDCO Convention Centre, Mumbai. The two-day event
will feature official weigh-ins and a press conference for professional
fighters on August 28, followed by the main Fight Night on August 29, with 13
professional bouts featuring fighters from across India and Asia. The event is
expected to attract approximately 1,000 spectators and will be listed on
BookMyShow, District by Zomato and SortMyScene.

The 18th edition will bring together leading professional fighters
from India and across Asia, alongside carefully selected rising talent. The
fight card will include Three India vs Philippine’s matchups and Two India vs
Russia bout, further strengthening WDS’s vision of creating a platform where
Indian fighters can compete against international talent. The main bout will
see Jeko Laishram of India take on Kimbert Alintozon of the Philippines in a
Fly Weight bout (56.7 kg). The co-main event will feature Tarun M Hiremath
against Gaganpal Singh Dua in the Light Heavy Weight division (93 kg).

Fight Night 18 leans hard into WDS&#039;s founding vision: give Indian
fighters a stage where they can test themselves against the best the region has
to offer. The organisers are focused on building WDS to global standards, with
greater emphasis on professional fight curation, athlete development, event

Dream Series, said: “Every edition is a chance to raise the bar. Fight
Night 18 brings stronger international competition onto Indian soil, real
opportunity for our athletes, and a card our fans will remember. Thirteen
bouts, fighters flying in from across Asia this is another serious step in
building the scale and credibility of MMA in this country. We&#039;re building
something Indian fighters can truly call their own.”

Sudhanshu Srivastav, Co-Founder &amp; Promoter, Warriors Dream Series,
added: “Fight Night was never meant to be a one-off. We&#039;re building a
consistent platform that brings athletes, fans and partners back edition after
edition. With every card, the scale grows and the international field gets
deeper. The ambition is simple and it is big: build a globally recognised MMA
promotion out of India one that can one day stand shoulder to shoulder with the
biggest names in the sport.”

<title>CAREERIPA Launches One of India&amp;apos;s First Science&#45;Backed, AI&#45;Powered Career Counselling and Guidance Platform</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/careeripa-launches-one-of-indias-first-science-backed-ai-powered-career-counselling-and-guidance-platform</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Structured assessments across Interest, Personality and
Ability are fused by an AI mapping engine into ranked, explainable career
recommendations — moving people from career confusion to career clarity.

Bengaluru, India — August 20, 2026 :  CareerIPA Innovation Pvt Ltd today announced the launch of CareerIPA (careeripa.com), a science-backed, AI-powered
career guidance platform built to help students, graduates, working
professionals, parents, counsellors, schools, colleges, universities and
corporates make more informed, personalised career decisions. The platform
unifies three validated assessment models — Interest, Personality and Ability
(IPA) — and uses a proprietary AI engine to convert the results into a ranked,
fully explained career shortlist.

The Problem: 

Every year, millions of students and professionals in
India — and worldwide — choose a stream, a degree, or a next career move based
on academic marks, family pressure, peer influence or a single one-dimensional
aptitude test, rather than structured, evidence-based guidance. According to
CareerIPA, this produces a predictable and costly chain reaction: students
enrol in wrong-fit courses, graduates emerge disengaged and under-skilled,
professionals remain stuck in careers they never truly chose, and parents,
institutions and employers are left to manage the fallout without dependable
tools to prevent it.

This cycle underscores the need for a decision-making
framework grounded in psychometric evidence, real-time career-demand data and
structured stakeholder support — precisely the gap CareerIPA has been built to
close.

The Solution: One Framework, Three Sciences, One Certain
Answer

CareerIPA replaces guesswork with a single online
assessment journey built on three complementary, scientifically grounded models
— the first platform to score all three signals simultaneously: what drives
you, who you are, and what you can master.

Derived RIASEC Model (DRM) — Interest : An evolution of Holland&#039;s
globally established RIASEC theory, recalibrated for today&#039;s career landscape
to reveal what genuinely drives a person.

Behavioural Dynamics Model (BDM) — Personality : Grounded in Big Five
and OCM research, mapping work style, decision-making, collaboration and
resilience to reveal who a person is

Ability Identification Model (AIM)— Ability : A multi-aptitude
assessment across reasoning domains, converted into career-weighted strengths
to reveal what a person can master.

All three assessments are completed online, at the
user&#039;s own pace — no exam hall, no added pressure. CareerIPA&#039;s proprietary AI
mapping engine then cross-references the DRM, BDM and AIM signals and deliver a
ranked, explainable shortlist of careers, each recommendation accompanied by
the reasoning behind it — never a generic, black-box list. Certified
counsellors and an AI copilot (to assist the counsellors) then help turn that
insight into a concrete action plan covering admissions, certifications and
next steps.

One Platform, Every Stakeholder

CareerIPA unifies distinct user journeys on a single
platform. 

3 - Science-Backed Assessment Models

11 - Stakeholder Types Served

1 - Unified AI + Human Guidance Platform

School Students (Class 8–12)
Challenge: Stream and course choices shaped by marks,
popularity, or peer pressure.
How CareerIPA Helps: Personalised, evidence-based recommendations before the
choices become expensive.

College Students &amp; University Graduates
Challenge: Difficulty connecting a degree to a suitable
career pathway.
How CareerIPA Helps: Links strengths and interests to career paths, higher
education, and skill-development areas.

Working Professionals
Challenge: Uncertainty around role fit, growth, or a
career transition.
How CareerIPA Helps: Identifies transferable strengths and data-backed
directions for pivot and growth.

Corporates &amp; Organisations
Challenge: Role–person mismatch affecting hiring,
mobility, and retention.
How CareerIPA Helps: Ability and behavioural profiling for smarter recruitment,
mobility, and development.

Institutions (Schools, Colleges, Universities)
Challenge: Too few counsellors to guide every student
meaningfully.
How CareerIPA Helps: Centralised assessment administration and cohort-level insights
for guidance at scale.

Why CareerIPA Stands Apart

●       
Integrated, not isolated: combines Interest + Personality + Ability rather than relying on
marks, interests or personality alone.

●       
Explainable by design: every recommendation is ranked and comes with the reasoning
behind it — never a generic list.

●       
Human-backed AI: certified counsellors and an AI copilot ensure no one interprets
a report alone.

●       
Built to scale: from a single learner&#039;s free assessment to institution-wide
dashboards for schools, colleges, universities and corporates.

●       
Engineered for global reach: calibrated for India&#039;s education landscape, with multi-language
support and international geo-IP routing for adoption beyond India.

Leadership Perspective

“Career decisions are among the
most consequential decisions a person makes, yet they are so often shaped by
marks, social expectations and limited information. CareerIPA was created to
bring structure and personalisation to this process. By integrating Interest,
Personality and Ability through DRM, BDM and AIM, and combining these insights
with AI-powered career mapping, our goal is simple — help every individual
understand themselves better, explore relevant possibilities, and move forward
with real confidence.”

— Muthukumar Rajaram, Founder &amp; CEO, CareerIPA Innovation Pvt Ltd

Global Outlook

While calibrated for India&#039;s education landscape,
CareerIPA has been architected for global scale. The platform supports multiple
Indian and International languages positioning it for adoption by learners and
institutions beyond India.

Availability

CareerIPA is live today at careeripa.com. Individuals can begin with a
free sample assessment; schools, colleges, universities, counsellors and
corporates can explore customised institutional and enterprise plans, subject
to product availability.

About Onam 

Onam, the harvest festival of Kerala, commemorates the annual visit of
the much-loved mythical ruler of ancient Kerala, King Mahabali. According to
folklore, after his defeat, the Gods granted King Mahabali his only wish- to
visit his kingdom every year for 10 days. These 10 days are celebrated with
great feasting and fervour. Also considered the harvest festival, this is the
time of year when special dishes are prepared using the season&#039;s bounty. Onam
is a universal festival in Kerala and is not associated with any one religion.
The special meal prepared during the festival is called the Sadhya, a 25-course
feast. The Onasadhya, a grand multi-course vegetarian banquet that celebrates
the harvest through its seasonal ingredients- is truly the pride of every
Malayali. Speciality cooks from Kerala prepare a feast that is truly befitting
a King. Pookkalam - creating intricate floral arrangements in different designs
on the floor is one of the most iconic traditions associated with Onam.

<title>Urbounce Puts Emotion on the Fitness Map with Emoscape</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/urbounce-puts-emotion-on-the-fitness-map-with-emoscape</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/urbounce-puts-emotion-on-the-fitness-map-with-emoscape</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Pune, 19 August 2026: Premium fitness brand Urbounce has integrated
Emoscape, the medical-grade Emotion AI platform developed by Nihilent Ltd.,
into its member fitness journey, introducing emotional state tracking as a new
dimension of holistic fitness. The integration brings emotional state alongside
physical fitness parameters, marking a significant step towards holistic
fitness that recognises the relationship between emotional state and physical
performance. 

For decades, the fitness industry has measured progress through
visible metrics such as calories burned, weights lifted, workout duration, step
count and heart rate. While these indicators provide valuable insights into
physical activity, they capture only one part of the fitness journey. The
body’s internal emotional environment plays an equally important role in
influencing performance, recovery, resilience, motivation and consistency.
Through the integration of Emoscape’s advanced Emotion AI platform, Urbounce
members will now be able to understand and track their daily emotional states,
gaining deeper insights into how emotions impact their overall fitness
progress. Following the assessment, the findings will be interpreted by a
psychologist, with the psychologist and fitness counsellor recommending
appropriate interventions aligned with the member’s emotional state and fitness
goals.

Emotional states have a significant influence on fitness outcomes.
Emotional imbalance and chronic stress affect cortisol levels, sleep and
recovery, while lower energy and consistency disrupt fitness routines and limit
progress. These emotional factors influence key outcomes such as fat loss,
muscle building, performance, recovery and injury risk. By making emotional
state measurable, Emoscape helps members better understand how their emotions
influence their fitness journey. 



Dipak Sanghavi, Co-Founder, Urbounce Gym - When
we started Urbounce, our ambition was never to just create another gym. We
wanted to build a community that inspires people to take ownership of their
health and sustain that commitment over time. Today, as we bring Emotion AI
into the fitness journey, we are taking that philosophy to a deeper level.
Physical fitness is only one dimension of human wellbeing; our emotions,
mindset, and psychological resilience influence how consistently and
meaningfully we pursue a healthier life. Technology can give us a new level of
awareness, but the real value lies in what people do with that awareness. By
combining technology with human expertise, professional psychological support,
and a strong community environment, Urbounce is moving towards a more complete
understanding of fitness . For us, the future of fitness is
not simply about building stronger bodies, it is about enabling healthier,
happier and more resilient human beings.”

Anand Pandya, Co-Founder, Urbounce Gym, said,
“At Urbounce, we have always believed that true fitness extends far beyond the
physical. Our emotional support 
vertical, supported by experienced professional counsellors, reflects
our commitment to addressing the person as a whole. The integration of Emotion
AI takes this philosophy further by creating greater awareness around an
often-unseen aspect of fitness: an individual’s emotional state. Emoscape  creates a bridge between awareness,
professional guidance and action. By helping people better understand the
relationship between emotional wellbeing and physical health, we aim to
encourage a more conscious, preventive and sustainable approach to holistic
fitness, where physical fitness, emotional state and emotional resilience are
considered together as interconnected dimensions of human performance.”

As part of the collaboration, Emoscape’s Emotion AI-powered emotional
state tracking will be introduced across multiple Urbounce fitness centres in
Pune, including Baner-Pashan, Hinjawadi, Punawale, Pimple Saudagar, FC Road,
Kharadi and Kothrud. The rollout will enable members to better understand the
relationship between their emotional state and physical fitness, bringing
a  holistic dimension to their overall
health and fitness journey.

Mr. Sandeep Pendurkar, Business Director of
Emoscape at Nihilent, said, “The
future of fitness is about understanding the complete human experience,
physical and emotional. Emoscape introduces a powerful new dimension to
holistic fitness by helping individuals recognise how their emotions influence
motivation, recovery, resilience and performance. Through our collaboration
with Urbounce, we are bringing objective emotional assessment into the fitness
journey, with professional interpretation and appropriate interventions
creating a pathway from emotional insight to action. This collaboration
demonstrates how objective emotion detection brings an important new dimension
to holistic fitness and contributes to the evolution of the fitness industry.”


The integration further strengthens Emoscape’s growing presence across
healthcare, education, sports, and human performance, reinforcing its
vision of making emotions measurable and actionable in every part of our lives.  By bringing Emotion AI into mainstream
fitness, the collaboration places human emotions at the centre of better
decision making, holistic fitness and enhanced performance.

<title>Denver Hydra Boost Face Wash Brings Simple, Everyday Acne Care to Men’s Grooming</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/denver-hydra-boost-face-wash-brings-simple-everyday-acne-care-to-mens-grooming</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/denver-hydra-boost-face-wash-brings-simple-everyday-acne-care-to-mens-grooming</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, August 2026: For many
men, skincare still starts and ends with a face wash. Long hours at work, gym
sessions, pollution, sweat and changing weather, however, can leave the skin
feeling oily, dull and prone to breakouts. Recognising the need for a simple
product that addresses these everyday concerns, Denver has launched its Hydra
Boost Face Wash, a 2-in-1 salicylic acid face wash designed for men with
normal, oily and acne-prone skin.

The idea behind Hydra Boost is straightforward: give men an effective
face wash that cleans properly without making skincare feel complicated.
Powered by Salicylic Acid (BHA), the face wash helps clear excess oil, dead
skin and impurities from the pores, while targeting common concerns such as
pimples, blackheads and breakouts.

For men who spend considerable time outdoors, commute through polluted
environments or regularly work out, excess oil and sweat can often become part
of the daily struggle. Hydra Boost is designed to fit easily into that routine
— whether it is being used in the morning before work, after a workout or at
the end of a long day.

The face wash contains Salicylic Acid (BHA), an ingredient widely used
in skincare for oily and acne-prone skin. It helps unclog pores and remove
excess oil, making it particularly suited to men who experience frequent shine
and breakouts. At the same time, the formulation is designed to cleanse without
leaving the skin feeling excessively dry.

Dermatologically tested and formulated at Denver Labs, Hydra Boost is
suitable for all skin types and can be incorporated into a daily grooming
routine. The product is also cruelty-free and comes with the grooming legacy
and consumer trust associated with Denver.



Denver Hydra Boost Face Wash is positioned as an accessible everyday
skincare product for young men looking to take better care of their skin
without adding unnecessary complexity to their routine.

Price &amp; Availability: 100ml
for ₹299/-

Denver Hydra Boost Face Wash is available through the Denver website
and leading e-commerce platforms including Amazon and Flipkart.

<title>Choosing the Right Travel Stroller: Expert Insights from Loopie</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/choosing-the-right-travel-stroller-expert-insights-from-loopie</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/choosing-the-right-travel-stroller-expert-insights-from-loopie</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Loopie shares what Indian
parents should look for in a travel stroller: safety, compact folding, and
everyday durability, and how its EN 1888-2 tested Hop is built for life on the
move.

As more Indian families travel
with young children, from weekend getaways to airport runs and city outings,
the humble stroller has become one of the most important purchases a parent
makes. Yet choosing the right travel stroller can be confusing, with looks and
price often overshadowing what really matters. Loopie, India&#039;s first premium baby-gear brand, is helping parents cut
through the noise with expert guidance on what actually makes a travel stroller
worth buying. Founded by Akriti Gupta and featured on Shark Tank India, Loopie
has quickly become one of the country&#039;s most talked-about parenting brands,
trusted by over 5,000 families and backed by ₹7.2 crore in funding led by Sauce
VC.

According to Loopie, the first
thing parents should check in any travel stroller is safety certification, not
styling. A stroller used for constant travel faces uneven pavements, ramps,
kerbs, and crowds, so its frame and brakes need to be genuinely dependable.
Loopie&#039;s flagship stroller, the Loopie Hop, is rigorously tested to meet
EN 1888-2 international safety standards, the European benchmark for baby
strollers, giving parents the reassurance that safety has been engineered in,
not assumed.

Beyond safety, Loopie points to
a handful of features that separate a good travel stroller from a frustrating
one: an effortless one-hand fold for when you&#039;re holding a baby and a boarding
pass at once, a lightweight yet sturdy aluminium frame that lifts easily into a
boot or overhead bin, and shock-absorbing EVA-Rubber wheels whose diamond tread
and 360° swivel glide through tight cafés and over gravel alike, with the
ground clearance to shrug off uneven kerbs. The Hop brings these together with
the touches that matter most in Indian conditions: a UV-protective UPF 50+
canopy for the harsh sun, OEKO-TEX certified Oxford Cotton fabric that&#039;s gentle
on sensitive skin, and 4-way ventilation for hot, humid days, plus a seat that
adapts as a baby grows and a built-in mosquito net, delivering baby comfort and
parent convenience in equal measure.

For families who travel by car,
Loopie&#039;s guidance extends to pairing the right stroller with the right car
seat. The brand&#039;s convertible car seat, the Loopie Lap, is R44 (ECE) certified,
the European safety standard for child restraints, with side-impact protection
and dual installation through both ISOFIX with top tether and the standard seat
belt, making it compatible with the full range of cars on Indian roads.

&quot;A travel stroller is
tested in real life, not by a showroom,&quot; said Akriti Gupta, Founder of
Loopie. &quot;Parents shouldn&#039;t have to choose between something safe and
something that&#039;s actually easy to carry, fold, and push through a crowded
station. We built the Hop so that safety, comfort, and convenience travel
together, because a stroller isn&#039;t just gear; it&#039;s part of a parent&#039;s day,
every single day.&quot;

The philosophy extends across
Loopie&#039;s growing ecosystem, from the Hop stroller to the Lap car seat to the
Robin diaper bag, all built as design-led baby gear that moves seamlessly from
crib to car to café. With a rapidly expanding community of parents across the
country and an experiential retail store in Pune, Loopie is building more than
a product line; it is setting a new standard for what premium, safety-first
parenting gear looks like in India.

With its blend of internationally recognised
safety, thoughtful design, and everyday practicality, Loopie is helping Indian
parents make smarter, more confident choices about the gear they travel with.
Alongside its products, the brand shares practical parenting guides for families on the go. As families continue
to prioritise safety and convenience on the move, expert-led brands such as
Loopie are expected to play a key role in shaping the future of modern,
family-first parenting in India.

Loopie&#039;s full range, including
the Hop stroller, the R44-certified Lap car seat, and the Robin diaper bag, is
available at the Loopie website and Loopie retail locations.

<title>The Invitation Still Matters: How King of Cards Is Keeping Physical Wedding Cards Relevant in a Digital Age</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-invitation-still-matters-how-king-of-cards-is-keeping-physical-wedding-cards-relevant-in-a-digital-age</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-invitation-still-matters-how-king-of-cards-is-keeping-physical-wedding-cards-relevant-in-a-digital-age</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Every few years, someone declares that the printed wedding
invitation is finished. The argument is always the same: WhatsApp is faster,
digital invites are cheaper, and the younger generation does not care about
paper the way their parents did.

At King of Cards, the stores keep getting busier.

&quot;What we have seen, consistently, is that families come
back to a physical card,&quot; - Team King of Cards.

&quot;They may send a digital message first. But the card
still goes out. Because there are people in every family who the message does
not reach the same way. Grandparents, elders, relatives from smaller towns. For
them, receiving a card in the post is part of feeling included in the
occasion.&quot;

From One Store to South India&#039;s Largest Wedding Card
Destination

King of Cards began with a clear conviction: Indian families
deserved better options when choosing a wedding invitation. The gap between
affordable and beautiful was wider than it needed to be.

That conviction drove an early decision to build
manufacturing and printing in-house, keeping complete control over quality and
timelines under one roof. Today, the brand operates 11 exclusive stores across
Bangalore, Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Mysore, Hubballi, and Chitradurga, with a
twelfth opening in Hyderabad shortly. Over 40,000 customers served, 800+
dealers across India, and worldwide shipping to NRI families in the UK, USA,
Middle East, Australia, and beyond.

Wedding cards start from under Rs 5 for simple well-printed designs and go up to Rs 500 and
beyond for premium acrylic and luxury formats. The catalogue stands at over
4,000 designs spanning every format, finish, and budget. Wedding cards for Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and interfaith are all core
to the collection, each with dedicated designs that reflect the specific
symbols and wording conventions of that tradition.

The Shift in What Customers Want

Something has changed in what families ask for, and it tells
a larger story about how Indian weddings are evolving.

A decade ago, most customers arrived knowing exactly what
they wanted. Today, the conversations are more layered. A couple who wants
something minimal but whose parents want religious symbols and family names in
full. A family hosting an interfaith wedding finding a card that honours both
sides. A groom&#039;s family in the UK ordering for relatives across three
countries.

&quot;The diversity of what families need has grown
significantly,&quot; - Team King of Cards. &quot;Acrylic invitations, MDF
formats, QR code integration. Customers are more informed and more specific,
and we have had to keep pace with that.&quot;

Multilingual printing across English, Kannada, Telugu,
Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, Marathi, Urdu, and other regional languages has become
a standard expectation rather than a special request.

What the Physical Card Still Does That Digital Cannot

There is a moment that happens regularly in every King of
Cards showroom. A customer picks up a padded invitation, or a scroll, or a
laser-cut design, and something shifts. The card is held, turned over, felt,
opened.

&quot;You cannot replicate that with a screen,&quot; - Team
King of Cards. &quot;When a grandmother holds the card and says this is the
one, that is the decision. Not the image on the phone. The physical object in
the hand.&quot;

The showroom experience remains central even as online
ordering has grown into an equally important channel. Orders now come through
the website from customers across India and abroad, with the full process
handled digitally, browsing, personalising, approving proofs, and receiving
cards at home. For NRI families in the UK, USA, Middle East, and Australia, the
website is often the only route, and it handles the same complexity as an
in-store order.

King of Cards also maintains an active presence on Instagram
and YouTube, showcasing the catalogue through reels and design walkthroughs.
Many buyers discover the brand on social media first, then either order online
or visit the nearest showroom to hold the card before deciding. The 800+ dealer
network adds a third channel for families in towns where a showroom is not
nearby.

An Invitation Is the First Chapter

The invitation is the first thing a guest holds. It tells
them what kind of occasion they are walking into before they arrive. King of
Cards has spent years making the case that getting this right sets the tone for
everything that follows.

That belief, backed by a catalogue and service model that
gives families real choices at every price point and tradition, is what has
carried King of Cards from a single store to where it stands today. The
invitation still matters. And the families ordering them every day are proof of
that. ]]></description>

<title>From Export Houses to Wardrobes: How FYVA Is Making Global Fashion More Accessible to Indian Consumers</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-export-houses-to-wardrobes-how-fyva-is-making-global-fashion-more-accessible-to-indian-consumers</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-export-houses-to-wardrobes-how-fyva-is-making-global-fashion-more-accessible-to-indian-consumers</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 19 August 2026,
India:  India
has long been recognised as one of the world&#039;s largest manufacturing hubs for
leading global fashion brands. Every year, factories across the country produce
garments that meet stringent international quality standards for renowned
labels sold across Europe, the US, and other global markets. Yet, for many
Indian consumers, premium-quality fashion often comes with premium price tags.

Traditional retail
models and online fashion stores, which involve multiple intermediaries,
distribution layers, and high retail markups, have historically made
global-standard apparel less accessible to everyday shoppers. As Gen Z and
millennials become increasingly value-conscious without compromising on
quality, a new generation of fashion platforms is reshaping how India shops.

India&#039;s Most Curated
Fashion Platform Bringing International Styles to Indian Wardrobes

Launched in March
2024, Founders Shweta Gupta and Shanmugam Krishnasamy built FYVA
as India&#039;s first value-focused curated fashion marketplace designed to bridge
the gap between premium manufacturing and affordable Indian clothing brands.
Built around intentional curation, the online shopping platform brings
together Indian homegrown clothing brands, export-grade apparel, and factory
direct clothing collections, enabling shoppers to access premium-quality
fashion without paying inflated retail prices.

Shweta Gupta,
the CEO, is a fashion industry veteran with over two decades of experience
across garment manufacturing, exports, sourcing, and consumer trends, FYVA is
built on deep industry expertise. Before launching FYVA, Shweta worked with one
of India&#039;s leading garment export houses, Gupta &amp; Co, serving
internationally recognised brands including Zara, Mango, and Bestseller Group.
Drawing from years of manufacturing insight, she created FYVA, a multi brand
fashion store, to make export-quality fashion more accessible to Indian
consumers while supporting homegrown Indian clothing brands and
manufacturers.

Unlike conventional
fashion online shopping marketplaces that focus primarily on volume, FYVA
positions itself as India&#039;s most curated fashion platform, where every
collection is selected based on quality, design, value, and contemporary
relevance.

Understanding What
&quot;Export Quality&quot; Really Means

The phrase &quot;export
quality&quot; is frequently used in Indian fashion conversations, but few
consumers fully understand what it represents.

Garments manufactured
for international clothing brands in India typically undergo rigorous
quality checks involving premium fabrics, superior stitching techniques,
durable construction, colour-fastness testing, and strict manufacturing
standards. These specifications are often significantly higher than those
followed for conventional mass-market apparel.

Across India&#039;s
manufacturing ecosystem, production overruns, cancelled export orders, and
surplus inventory for online fashion clothing often include products
originally intended for global retail shelves. Traditionally, these pieces
remained confined to fragmented surplus markets with limited accessibility and
inconsistent shopping experiences.

Today,
technology-enabled online shopping in India is helping to organise this
largely unstructured ecosystem by bringing carefully selected export-grade
collections online through transparent, consumer-friendly platforms.

Curating Value Rather
Than Chasing Discounts

FYVA&#039;s online
shopping site model extends beyond offering discounted apparel. They use a
sustainable limited stock model instead.

The FYVA brand platform
curates a diverse portfolio of fashion categories ranging from premium cotton
shirts and elevated everyday essentials to utility-inspired cargos,
contemporary streetwear, and wardrobe staples sourced from trusted
manufacturing partners and emerging Indian labels.

This emphasis on
curation allows consumers to discover products that combine
international-quality craftsmanship with accessible pricing, while also helping
manufacturers unlock value from premium inventory from affordable clothing
brands in India that may otherwise remain underutilised.

The result is a
shopping experience focused on quality, design, and discovery rather than endless
scrolling through thousands of unrelated listings.

Smart Fashion with a
More Conscious Approach

The growing
conversation around sustainability has also transformed how consumers evaluate
fashion purchases.

By giving production
overruns, manufacturing surplus, and export-grade inventory a structured retail
channel, curated marketplaces contribute towards reducing textile waste and
improving inventory utilisation. Rather than allowing high-quality garments,
including dresses, jeans and shirt for
men to remain unsold or discarded, these products
are given a second opportunity to reach consumers who appreciate both quality
and value.

Additionally, its
limited-drop approach and FYVA reviews create a dynamic shopping
online experience where collections evolve regularly, encouraging shoppers
to discover unique styles while supporting a more efficient fashion ecosystem.

Redefining the Future
of Fashion Retail

India already
manufactures apparel that meets the expectations of some of the world&#039;s most
demanding fashion brands. The opportunity now lies in making that same level of
craftsmanship more accessible within the country itself.

As consumer preferences
continue shifting towards quality, transparency, and value, curated marketplace
models are creating a more efficient connection between manufacturers and
shoppers.

With its focus on
intentional curation, homegrown brands, and export-grade fashion, FYVA
clothing represents this evolving retail landscape—one where premium
fashion no longer depends on international labels or luxury budgets, but on
making budget clothing brands in India directly available to Indian
wardrobes.

<description><![CDATA[ India&#039;s pioneering hotel art fair returns on August 22 and 23 with 21
immersive gallery spaces, a tribute to K. G. Subramanyan, the launch of &#039;Artist
in Focus&#039;, and an exciting line up of leading galleries, artists and brands

New Delhi, 2026 : ARTIX, India&#039;s pioneering hotel art fair, returns
with its fifth edition on August 22 and 23, 2026, at The Claridges, New Delhi.
Bringing together leading galleries, artists, designers, jewellers and
creative brands, this year&#039;s edition will transform 21 hotel rooms into
immersive exhibition spaces, offering visitors an intimate way to
experience art beyond the traditional gallery format.

ARTIX 5.0 will feature a distinguished line up of
participants including Lotus Arts de Vivre, 108 Art Projects, Golf Green
Gallery, Aura Art Gallery, Gallery Vision Art, Jagat Jewels, Arushi Arts,
Taranaksh, Bharati Shah, Aanchal Garg and Art &amp; You, with more
participants to be announced in the coming weeks.

One of the key highlights of this year’s edition will be a special
showcase celebrating the life and legacy of K. G. Subramanyan, one of
India’s most influential modern artists, educators and thinkers. Bringing
together a focused presentation of his works, the showcase will offer visitors a
closer look at his distinctive visual language and the enduring influence of
his practice. 

ARTIX 5.0 will also introduce &#039;Artist in Focus&#039;,
a new initiative dedicated to supporting emerging artists. The platform will
present a curated selection of works by promising contemporary talent, creating
opportunities for greater visibility and meaningful engagement with collectors,
galleries, curators and art enthusiasts.

Founded by Malvika Poddar, Payal Kapoor and Sethu Vaidyanathan,
ARTIX was conceived as an alternative to the conventional art fair. Inspired by
international hotel art fairs, it transforms hotel rooms into curated
exhibition spaces, allowing every participant to create a unique environment
that reflects their artistic vision while encouraging closer interaction
between artists, galleries and audiences.

Since its debut in 2023, ARTIX has grown into one of India&#039;s
most distinctive multidisciplinary art platforms, bringing together art,
design, jewellery, textiles, fashion and craft through editions in New
Delhi and Hyderabad. The fair has created a unique space where established
names and emerging voices come together, reflecting the evolving landscape of
India&#039;s creative industries.

Alongside the exhibitions, ARTIX 5.0 will host a curated
programme of panel discussions, artist talks and guided walkthroughs,
bringing together artists, collectors, gallerists and industry experts to
explore conversations around contemporary art, collecting, design and culture.

Speaking about the fifth edition, the founders of ARTIX said,

&quot;As ARTIX enters its fifth edition, our vision remains the same
to create a platform where art can be experienced in a more personal and
engaging way. Every edition has helped build a growing community of artists,
galleries, collectors and audiences, and this year we are excited to introduce
new initiatives that celebrate both artistic legacy and emerging talent while
continuing to expand conversations around contemporary creative
practices.&quot;

ARTIX 5.0 will take place on August 22 and 23, 2026, at The Claridges,
New Delhi.

<title>SUGOI: Rare’Z by The House of Rare’s New Sneaker Collection Finds the Extraordinary in Everyday Movement</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/sugoi-rarez-by-the-house-of-rares-new-sneaker-collection-finds-the-extraordinary-in-everyday-movement</link>

<description><![CDATA[  

Four premium sneaker silhouettes, each with a
character of its own.

Priced at:
₹5,999 onwards across categories 
Available at: Sugoi exclusively available in stores, Rare.in and
Myntra

August 2026 : There are some things you don’t quite know
how to describe. You simply react to them.

In Japanese, “Sugoi” is an expression of that instinctive
reaction - amazing, incredible, extraordinary. It is what you say when
something catches you off guard, when the feeling comes before the explanation.

It is this feeling that gives SUGOI, the latest sneaker collection
from Rare’Z by The House of Rare (makers of Rare Rabbit
&amp; Rareism), its name.

Designed around the idea that extraordinary can look different to
everyone, SUGOI brings together four distinct sneaker personalities with SUGOI
STILL, SUGOI MEMBO, SUGOI TUG and SUGOI NATURE. Each has its own character,
materiality and aesthetic, while sharing a common foundation of premium
craftsmanship, considered design and modern movement.

Inspired by Japanese footwear design and reinterpreted for today, the
collection is anchored by an iconic flat-sole silhouette, clean lines and
thoughtful detailing. From quiet minimalism and retro-inspired energy to
utility-driven design and organic textures, SUGOI offers four different
interpretations of what an exceptional everyday sneaker can be.

SUGOI STILL

SUGOI STILL is an expression of quiet luxury - minimal
and monochromatic. Crafted in premium leather and suede, its clean low-profile
sole, tonal detailing and refined single-tone palette create a silhouette that
feels understated yet unmistakable.

A dual-lacing system offers classic and ribbon-printed lace options,
while a detachable leather hang tag with an embossed monogram adds a
subtle signature.

Still is for those who believe the most memorable things are often the
ones that don’t ask to be noticed.

SUGOI MEMBO

Taking its cues from classic varsity footwear, SUGOI MEMBO
brings a more expressive energy to the collection.

A premium combination of smooth leather and suede meets bold colour
blocking, oversized ‘R’ branding and a distinctive studded sole that
adds texture, depth and character. Membo brings a contemporary edge.

SUGOI TUG

There is beauty in something built to keep moving.

SUGOI TUG takes a rugged, utility-inspired approach to
contemporary sneaker design, combining durable construction with premium
detailing and refined finishing.

Performance-inspired aesthetics meet lifestyle versatility in a
silhouette designed around everyday movement. Tug is built for those who don’t
stay in one place for long.

SUGOI NATURE

Some of the most beautiful things are found in their natural state.

SUGOI NATURE draws inspiration from the natural world
through earthy colour palettes, and an organic design language. Soft
textures and understated detailing create a grounded yet contemporary
silhouette.

Nature blends naturally into modern, neutral wardrobes while
maintaining a character of its own.

Together, the four silhouettes explore the many ways extraordinary can
be expressed. While their personalities differ, each is
grounded in Rare’Z’s belief that perfection lies in the details, in the
materials selected, the proportions considered and the craftsmanship behind
every element.

Commenting on Sugoi, Mr. Manish Poddar, Founder &amp; Creative
Director, The House of Rare &amp; Rare&#039;Z, says:

“I have always believed that great design is felt before it is
explained. With SUGOI, we obsessed over the details that make a sneaker
desirable beyond its function - its proportions, materials, textures,
silhouette and finishing. Every element has a reason to exist.

What excites me is that we haven’t created four variations of the same
sneaker, but four distinct design personalities. Still is quiet and precise,
Membo expressive, Tug utilitarian and dynamic, while Nature is softer and
organic. Yet all four are unmistakably SUGOI. For me, that is what great design
should do - create that instinctive feeling that something is truly special.”

<title>Personal Loan Prepayment Charges: What RBI Rules Say in 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Let&#039;s say a decent
year-end bonus just landed in your bank account, or maybe a smart business
investment finally paid off. For most folks, the very first instinct is to wipe
the slate clean and pay off any existing debt. But for a long time, trying to
close out a Personal Loan ahead of schedule usually
came with a nasty shock—heavy foreclosure penalties.

Getting punished
for being financially disciplined never made much sense to everyday borrowers.
Thankfully, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) saw the friction this was causing
and decided to step in. Now that the updated Pre-payment Charges on Loans
Directions are actively enforced in 2026, the rules of the game have
genuinely shifted to protect you, the borrower, ensuring a lot more
transparency across the board.

The 2026
Regulatory Shift: What You Actually Need to Know

When you make
everyday financial choices, you really need clear facts, not confusing banking
jargon. The recent RBI Directions stop lenders from levying prepayment charges
on qualifying floating-rate loans. If an individual borrower has a floating-rate
loan for a non-business purpose, sanctioned or renewed on or after January 1,
2026, the lender cannot charge a prepayment fee for part or full repayment.

However, the
protection does not extend to every type of loan. Since the RBI&#039;s
prepayment-charge protection specifically covers qualifying floating-rate
loans, a fixed-rate Personal Loan may still carry a prepayment or foreclosure
charge, depending on the lender&#039;s policy and the terms of the loan agreement.

Fixed vs.
Floating Rates: Breaking Down the Impact

Knowing exactly how
your interest is calculated is half the battle when it comes to managing your
debt effectively.

Take this common
scenario: A small business owner grabs an instant personal loan to handle a
sudden cash crunch at the shop Because a fixed-rate
loan may carry prepayment charges, clearing the debt six months early could
involve an additional cost. The applicable charge should be checked in the loan
agreement and other relevant loan documents before making the repayment.

 

Why Picking the
Right Financial Institution Matters

When cash gets
tight or an emergency pops up, it is incredibly tempting to just click on the
first flashy loan advertisement that appears on your phone. That is exactly
where expensive mistakes happen. Teaming up with a solid, tested Financial
Institution like Muthoot Finance changes the whole experience.

Muthoot Finance
offers online personal-loan applications along with features such as minimal
documentation, quick processing and digital loan tracking, subject to
eligibility and applicable terms. These services can make the borrowing and
repayment process more convenient for customers considering an instant personal
loan.

For borrowers
managing a Personal Loan, convenient digital services such as loan tracking and
an EMI calculator can also make it easier to monitor repayments and plan
finances during the loan tenure.



Smart Moves to
Make Before Closing Your Debt

Don&#039;t just drain
your hard-earned savings to wipe out a debt ledger without checking a few
things first. A quick financial health check is always a good idea before
making a bulk payment.




 Double-check the Rate Type: Dig out that
     original loan agreement. Check if the personal loan interest rate is
     labeled as fixed or floating. That one specific detail decides if the 2026
     RBI penalty protections cover your account directly.
 Use a personal loan EMI calculator: to
     compare the interest that could be saved with any applicable prepayment
     charges. If the cost of prepayment outweighs the potential interest
     savings, continuing with the scheduled repayment may be more suitable
 Review the Loan Terms: Before making an
     early repayment, check the applicable prepayment conditions, outstanding
     principal and any other charges mentioned in the loan documents. This
     helps determine the actual financial benefit of closing the loan early.


 

Tips &amp;
Caveats: Dodging the Common Traps

●     
Don&#039;t assume you are
automatically exempt: The 2026 rules do not magically
wipe away fees on every single loan out there. The exact structure of your
credit dictates what rules apply to you.

●     
Check the applicable charges: Before making a prepayment, review the sanction letter, loan agreement
and KFS, where applicable, to confirm whether any prepayment charge applies

●     
Keep an eye out for illegal
lock-in periods: For those floating-rate loans that
qualify, the RBI has banned forced lock-in periods altogether. Borrowers now
have the absolute right to shut the account down once they have the cash to do
so.

 

Stepping Forward
with Total Confidence

The borrowing
ecosystem in India is finally tilting in favor of the consumer, but you still
have to know your rights to actually benefit from them. The era of getting hit
with obscure, last-minute penalty fees is fading out. Today, informed borrowers
hold the cards.

This is where
choosing a Financial Institution with convenient loan-management services can
make a practical difference. Muthoot Finance offers features such as online
loan applications, loan tracking and an EMI calculator, which can help
borrowers manage their Personal Loan and keep track of repayment obligations.

Before making an
early repayment, review the loan documents, confirm the applicable prepayment
conditions and use a personal loan EMI calculator to estimate
the potential interest savings. This can help make the final repayment decision
with greater clarity. ]]></description>

<title>R.K. Pilot&amp;apos;s hand rule simplified understanding of wind direction in Cyclones and Anticyclones</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/rk-pilots-hand-rule-simplified-understanding-of-wind-direction-in-cyclones-and-anticyclones</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/rk-pilots-hand-rule-simplified-understanding-of-wind-direction-in-cyclones-and-anticyclones</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Understand
wind rotation direction in seconds using the right- and left-hand rule—a simple
visual method for students.

Dausa,
Rajasthan. Remembering the direction of wind rotation in cyclones and
anticyclones across the Northern and Southern Hemispheres used to be a complex
and confusing task for students; however, this concept has now become very easy
to grasp thanks to a new rule. R.K. Pilot, a resident of Nangal Lotwara village
in Rajasthan&#039;s Dausa district, developed the ‘Right and Left Hand Rule’ to help
understand and memorize wind directions. This educational concept was published
in the International Educational Scientific Research Journal.

What
is R.K. Pilot’s Hand Rule?

The
basis of this rule is remarkably simple. The right hand is used for the
Northern Hemisphere, and the left hand for the Southern Hemisphere. The
direction of the thumb indicates whether the air is rising or sinking, while
the curled fingers show the direction of wind rotation.

In
the Northern Hemisphere-

 

●      Point your right hand&#039;s thumb straight up and
curl your fingers towards the palm, the thumb indicate rising air, while the
fingers represents the rotation of wind in a cyclone, which rotate in an
anti-clockwise. 

●      Point your right hand&#039;s thumb straight down and
curl your fingers towards the palm, the thumb indicate sinking air, while the
fingers represents the rotation of wind in an anticyclone, which rotate in a
clockwise.   

In the
Southern Hemisphere-

●      Point your left hand&#039;s thumb straight up and curl
your fingers towards the palm, the direction of the thumb indicate rising air,
while the direction of the fingers represents the wind circulating within a
cyclone—which rotate clockwise. 

●      Point your left hand&#039;s thumb straight down and
curl your fingers towards the palm, the direction of the thumb indicate sinking
air, while the direction of the fingers represents the wind circulating within
an anticyclone—which rotate anti-clockwise. 

Why
is this method important in meteorology?

Meteorology
encompasses the study of weather, climate, and the Earth&#039;s atmosphere. Cyclones
and anticyclones are key components of this field. In competitive exams as well
as in school and college curricula, students are frequently asked questions
regarding wind directions in both hemispheres.

R.K.
Pilot&#039;s method emphasizes visually grasping the concept using one&#039;s hand rather
than relying on rote memorization. This approach can help students remember
wind directions associated with cyclones and anticyclones in both the Northern
and Southern Hemispheres.

The
concept is linked to the Coriolis effect.

This
rule serves as an educational tool to help remember the scientific concepts of
rising and sinking atmospheric air and the Coriolis effect—which influences
wind direction due to the Earth&#039;s rotation. Its purpose is not to alter
scientific theory but to facilitate the understanding and retention of complex
directional patterns.

Why
did R.K. Pilot devise this rule?

According
to R.K. Pilot, students and researchers often get confused about wind
directions in cyclones and anticyclones across the Northern and Southern
Hemispheres. To address this issue, he developed a method that allows these
patterns to be easily remembered simply by observing hand positioning.  He believes that once students grasp this
rule, they can determine the direction of wind circulation in both hemispheres
simply by observing the orientation of their thumb and the curvature of their
fingers.

Promoting
Visual and Hands-on Learning

Visual
and hands-on activities in teaching can be instrumental in helping students
understand complex scientific concepts. &quot;R.K. Pilot’s Hand Rule&quot; is
one such method that uses the direct application of one&#039;s hand to explain the
direction of cyclones and anticyclones.

This
rule by R.K. Pilot was first published in the International Educational
Scientific Research Journal in August 2017.

R.K.
Pilot’s orginal name is Ramkrishan. After undergoing pilot training for the
airline industry, he has been working in the field of research. His parents are
Smt. Rukmani Devi and Shri Lallu Ram.

According
to the Global Science Journal, R.K. Pilot’s educational rule—utilizing the
right and left hands—offers a simple and memorable way to understand wind
directions associated with cyclones and anticyclones in meteorology. Such
straightforward educational methods can help students easily grasp complex
scientific concepts.

<title>The Next Promotion in Operations May Depend Less on Experience and More on AI</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-next-promotion-in-operations-may-depend-less-on-experience-and-more-on-ai</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-next-promotion-in-operations-may-depend-less-on-experience-and-more-on-ai</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Professionals who can combine operational expertise with AI
capabilities are increasingly commanding a premium in today&#039;s job market.
According to PwC&#039;s 2025 Global AI Jobs Barometer, workers with AI skills
earn an average 56% wage premium over peers in comparable roles, while
industries adopting AI are seeing three times higher growth in revenue per
employee than less AI-exposed sectors. The research also found that the
skills required for AI-exposed jobs are evolving 66% faster, signalling
a rapid shift in what employers value. 

For operations and supply chain professionals, the message is becoming
difficult to ignore. Traditional expertise in procurement, inventory
management, production planning, and logistics remains essential, but
organisations are increasingly rewarding leaders who can apply AI, analytics,
and predictive technologies to improve decision-making and build resilient
supply chains.

Artificial intelligence is already transforming how global businesses
operate. Demand forecasting is becoming more accurate through machine learning.
Predictive analytics is helping organisations anticipate supply chain
disruptions before they occur. Digital twins are enabling manufacturers to
simulate production scenarios, while autonomous planning systems are reshaping
inventory, procurement, and distribution decisions.

In this new environment, operational excellence is no longer defined
solely by efficiency. Increasingly, it is defined by intelligence—the ability
to combine operational expertise with data, analytics, and AI to make faster,
smarter, and more strategic decisions.

Recognising this evolution, IIM Lucknow has introduced the Strategic Operations and Supply Chain Analytics with AI
programme, a 10-month executive programme designed to help working
professionals build capabilities at the intersection of operations management,
supply chain strategy, analytics, and artificial intelligence. 

Rather than treating AI as a standalone technology topic, the
programme positions it as a practical management capability. Participants
explore how analytics, predictive modelling, Agentic AI, and digital
technologies can strengthen operational decision-making, improve supply chain
visibility, and create more resilient business systems. The curriculum also
examines supply chain digital transformation, analytical tools and techniques,
and retail and e-commerce operations, reflecting the realities of today&#039;s
interconnected business environment. 

Perhaps the most significant aspect of the programme is its emphasis
on application over theory.

Operations leaders rarely solve textbook problems. They manage
supplier uncertainty, fluctuating demand, inventory volatility, production
bottlenecks, transportation disruptions, and evolving customer
expectations—often simultaneously. Reflecting this reality, the programme
integrates industry case studies throughout the learning journey, allowing
participants to analyse real operational challenges faced by organisations and
evaluate how data-driven decision-making influences business outcomes. Learning
culminates in a faculty-guided capstone project that enables participants to
apply concepts to a real business problem. 

The programme also acknowledges an important truth about executive
education: most professionals cannot step away from work to learn.

Delivered through live online sessions by IIM Lucknow faculty over ten
months, the programme enables participants to continue leading teams and
managing operations while immediately applying classroom insights within their
organisations. A campus immersion further complements the online learning
experience by providing opportunities for deeper faculty interaction and peer
networking. 

Equally valuable is the diversity of the participant cohort.
Professionals from manufacturing, logistics, retail, e-commerce, consulting,
and other sectors contribute different operational perspectives, creating
discussions that mirror the complexity of modern supply chains. As
organisations increasingly collaborate across ecosystems rather than operate in
isolation, exposure to diverse approaches has become an important part of
management learning. 

This broader perspective reflects a larger transformation taking place
across global operations.

Supply chains are no longer viewed as back-office functions focused
solely on cost control. They have become strategic assets capable of
influencing customer experience, business resilience, sustainability, and
competitive differentiation. Recent global disruptions have reinforced the
importance of building networks that are not only efficient but also agile,
predictive, and technology enabled.

That evolution is also changing leadership expectations.

Operations managers are increasingly expected to interpret data,
evaluate AI-driven recommendations, lead digital transformation initiatives,
and make faster, more informed decisions in environments where uncertainty has
become the norm. The professionals who thrive will be those who can bridge
traditional operational expertise with emerging technologies rather than
treating them as separate disciplines.

As AI continues to redefine how goods are produced, moved, and
delivered, the future of operations will belong not simply to those who
understand supply chains, but to those who understand how technology can make
them smarter, faster, and more resilient.

In the years ahead, operational excellence may no longer be measured
solely by efficiency. It may well be defined by intelligence. ]]></description>

<title>CarePass Launches This Independence Day, Bringing Healthcare Savings Across India&amp;apos;s Top and Premium Hospitals</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/carepass-launches-this-independence-day-bringing-healthcare-savings-across-indias-top-and-premium-hospitals</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/carepass-launches-this-independence-day-bringing-healthcare-savings-across-indias-top-and-premium-hospitals</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ CarePass, an exclusive healthcare savings membership card from RxN
Network, launches on 15 August - offering discounts of up to 30% at India&#039;s
leading and premium hospitals and healthcare brands, pan India, with no claim
processing, no waiting and no paperwork. The CarePass plan is free through 31
August.

Bengaluru, India : This Independence Day, RxN Network has launched CarePass, an exclusive
healthcare savings membership card built to make quality healthcare more
affordable for Indian families. The card&#039;s core promise is access, at a
discount, to the hospitals and healthcare brands families actually want to be
treated at - India&#039;s top and premium names, not just the nearest clinic. Live
from 15 August 2026, CarePass delivers instant savings at the point of billing,
with no claim processing, no waiting periods and no paperwork. To mark the
occasion, the CarePass plan is free to join through 31 August 2026.

Member rates at institutions that rarely offer them

India&#039;s leading hospitals do not compete on price, and they rarely
need to. Securing preferential rates at that tier of institution takes
negotiation, scale and standing - which is why almost no consumer product
offers it. CarePass has built a pan-India network of 100+ of the country&#039;s top
and premium healthcare brands - multi-speciality and quaternary care hospitals,
leading diagnostics and pathology chains, dental and vision specialists,
dermatology and hair &amp; skin clinics, and IVF &amp; maternity centres - with
member rates of up to 30% across the network.

For families, that is the difference between a nominal saving and a
meaningful one. A single planned procedure, a maternity package or a year of
specialist consultations at a premium hospital can run into lakhs. A single
annual CarePass membership can save a family up to ₹50,000 a year across more
than ten care categories. Members simply show their digital CarePass at a
partner and the discount is applied instantly at billing.

The bills insurance leaves behind

Most of what an Indian family spends on health in a year never reaches
an insurer. Consultations at a specialist, diagnostics, dental procedures,
vision care, a planned procedure that falls outside a policy&#039;s terms - these
are paid out of pocket, in full, at the counter. Retail insurance has largely
stayed away from this everyday layer of care, and with medical inflation in
India running at some of its highest levels on record, the shortfall grows
heavier each year. CarePass is built for exactly these bills, and for the
premium institutions where they are largest.

RxN Network has partnered with Truworth Wellness exclusively for the
distribution of CarePass in India, taking the card to both corporate clients
and retail consumers nationwide.

&quot;Anyone can find a discount on everyday spending. Almost no one
can walk into one of India&#039;s top hospitals and get 30% off - those are the
bills that actually hurt, and they are the hardest place in the country to find
a saving. That is what CarePass is built for: real discounts at the premium
hospitals and healthcare brands families genuinely trust with their health,
applied instantly at billing, with no claim processing and no paperwork. With
medical inflation at an all-time high and outpatient care still largely
uncovered in retail, this is a meaningful step towards making quality care
affordable. Launching on Independence Day felt right: this is about freedom
from healthcare bills, made simple and accessible,&quot; said Rohit Chohan,
Co-Founder &amp; CEO, Truworth Wellness.

CarePass is available in four membership tiers - CarePass, Prime,
Essential and Advantage - so families can choose the level that suits them.
Higher tiers add benefits such as unlimited GP tele-consultation and an annual
health check-up.

CarePass is available now at carepass.in, where families can compare
the four membership tiers and join online in minutes.

About CarePass

CarePass is an exclusive healthcare savings membership card that gives
Indian families discounted access to a pan-India network of 100+ of the
country&#039;s top and premium healthcare brands, across hospitals, diagnostics,
dental, vision, dermatology and maternity care. CarePass is a discount
membership and not an insurance product. Learn more at carepass.in.

About RxN Network

RxN Network is the creator and operator of CarePass, building a
pan-India network of premium healthcare partners to make quality care more
affordable for Indian families. ]]></description>

The collaboration gives students access to Triple Crown-accredited
business education from a school ranked among the world&#039;s top 1%, with
faculty-led learning, international certification and academic immersion in
Milan.

New Delhi, 17th August: In a move that
reflects the changing landscape of management education, Pearl Academy School
of Business has entered into a strategic collaboration with POLIMI Graduate
School of Management (POLIMI GSoM), Italy, becoming its exclusive
Academic Partner in India. The collaboration brings one of Europe’s
globally recognised business schools directly into Indian classrooms through
faculty-led academic modules, international certification, and an immersive
learning experience in Milan. 

Moving beyond traditional student exchange programmes, the partnership
integrates POLIMI GSoM&#039;s
academic expertise into the curriculum through in-person modules delivered by
its faculty in areas such as Luxury Management, Digital Transformation,
Strategy and Marketing. Students will receive official POLIMI GSoM
certifications upon module completion. Selected cohorts will also participate
in a structured academic immersion in Milan, including lectures, corporate
visits and networking opportunities, providing first-hand exposure to one of
Europe&#039;s leading business and innovation ecosystems. 

The partnership will strengthen all existing and emerging programmes
offered by Pearl Academy School of Business,
ensuring every BBA and MBA student benefits from sustained international
academic engagement as part of their academic journey.

This alliance comes at a pivotal moment as India and Italy deepen
their Special Strategic Partnership under the 2025–2029 Joint Strategic Action
Plan. As both nations advance the proposed Indo-Mediterranean Economic
Corridor, strengthening academic collaboration and youth mobility has become a
shared priority. By combining Pearl Academy’s creative ecosystem with POLIMI
GSoM’s management expertise, this partnership bridges Italy’s legacy of
design-led business excellence with India’s dynamic innovation and
entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Amod Vijayvargiya, Director, Pearl Academy School of Business,
said, “Our vision has always been to democratise world-class education and
prepare our students for a borderless global economy. By becoming the exclusive
Academic Partner of POLIMI GSoM in India, we are bringing Europe’s most
sophisticated business thinking directly to our campuses. Both institutions sit
at the intersection of creativity, innovation, and a deeply futuristic outlook
on business. By uniting Pearl’s disruptive, industry-first approach with POLIMI
GSoM’s prestigious European heritage, we are creating a new paradigm for Indian
business education that prepares leaders for the future.”

Headquartered in Milan, one of the world’s leading centres for luxury,
fashion, advanced manufacturing, entrepreneurship and design, POLIMI Graduate
School of Management is among the select group of business schools worldwide to
hold the prestigious Triple Crown accreditation (EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA),
placing it within the top 1% of business schools globally. 

Prof. Tommaso Agasisti, Associate Dean for International Relations at
POLIMI Graduate School of Management said, “We are very
pleased to launch this collaboration with Pearl Academy School of Business. Our
institutions share a common vision of combining academic rigor with innovation
and industry engagement. Together, we look forward to offering students an
enriching international learning experience and to further developing academic
cooperation between Italy and India.”

Looking ahead, the collaboration is expected to create opportunities
for curriculum innovation, faculty engagement, knowledge exchange and future
academic initiatives, reinforcing both institutions’ commitment to shaping
globally relevant business education. ]]></description>

marks one8&#039;s multi-brand e-commerce debut on Myntra, with Seam XVIII returning
as one of its hero products — the sneaker sold out within seven minutes on its
first release

●      The
collection will be available on Myntra and one8.com from 12 pm on 18 August
2026. The wishlist is already open on Myntra.

Bengaluru, 17 August 2026: Myntra is set to give
consumers complete access to one8&#039;s 180-SKU collection, including footwear,
apparel and accessories on 18 August, marking 18 years since Virat Kohli&#039;s
debut for India. For 18 hours, the complete collection will be available on
Myntra and one8.com, making the milestone a moment to experience one8 through
product.

The entire collection will be available for 18 hours on Myntra and
one8.com from 18 August 2026 starting 12 pm. The collection is already
open for wishlisting on Myntra.

At the centre of the collection is Seam XVIII, co-created by Virat and
making a comeback after selling out within seven minutes on its first release.
Returning in red and white, the sneaker takes inspiration from the two balls
associated with cricket’s formats: deep red for the long form and white for
limited overs cricket. Stitched seams and season-ball finishes carry the
language of cricket into a lifestyle sneaker, reflecting one8&#039;s idea of being
&quot;born in cricket, stitched in culture.&quot;

The 180-SKU collection spans footwear, apparel and accessories across elite
performance, training and active lifestyle, for men and women. Cover Drive
18 anchors the performance end, while Boom Rush brings the brand into training
as a multiactivity trainer built for running and the gym. Seam XVIII and the
wider Seam franchise sit at the intersection of cricket and everyday lifestyle,
translating the codes of the game into contemporary sneakers and apparel.
Beyond footwear, the collection includes T-shirts, polos, jackets, shorts and
other everyday styles, alongside the Flo family of unisex lifestyle caps,
including Prime Flo, Zen Flo and Ease Flo. Together, the collection brings
one8’s three worlds — elite performance, training and active lifestyle — into a
single drop.

For Myntra, the partnership brings a differentiated brand to its
growing sneaker and sportswear portfolio, at the intersection of performance,
everyday style and culture.

Ritesh Mishra, SVP and Head of Category and Revenue, Myntra, said,
&quot;Bringing one8 to Myntra to mark 18 years of Virat Kohli&#039;s cricket journey
is a fitting celebration of our partnership. At a time when we are seeing
growing interest in sneakers and sport-led styles on Myntra, one8 brings a
distinctive mix of performance, design, and cultural relevance. With Myntra&#039;s
scale and personalised discovery capabilities, we look forward to taking this
collection to a wider audience across the country and further strengthening our
sneaker and sportswear portfolio.&quot;

Prashant Kohli, one8 Brand Director, said, “Eighteen
years back, on 18 August 2008, Virat walked onto the field for the first time.
And he’s inspired millions across the world. He has done it before, he has done
it consistently, and he will continue doing it. one8 came out of that
excellence. We have never made this brand widely available, and that is
deliberate. Limited pieces, limited places. And what better day to open it up
than the day we celebrate eighteen years of number 18. For eighteen hours, the
entire world of one8 lands on Myntra. Performance, training, lifestyle, all of
it in one drop, and then it’s gone. When we launched Seam XVIII the first time,
it was gone in seven minutes. Let’s see what happens now.”

one8’s direction across elite performance, training and active
lifestyle is underpinned by the belief that sport and culture should
continually influence each other. Virat, as co-founder and co-creator,
remains deeply involved in the creative process behind what one8 builds. ]]></description>

<title>Emperium Titan Brings Gurugram&amp;apos;s Next Multi&#45;Crore Opportunity at the Convergence of Three Growth Corridors</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/emperium-titan-brings-gurugrams-next-multi-crore-opportunity-at-the-convergence-of-three-growth-corridors</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/emperium-titan-brings-gurugrams-next-multi-crore-opportunity-at-the-convergence-of-three-growth-corridors</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Gurugram, Haryana: 17th August : In real estate, the biggest returns are rarely created by luxury
alone. They are created by a prime location. Recognising this, Emperium
Group has introduced Emperium Titan, an ultra premium residential
development strategically positioned at one of Gurugram&#039;s most significant
infrastructure intersections.

Located in Sector 88A, Emperium Titan sits at the convergence
of Dwarka Expressway, Southern Peripheral Road
(SPR) &amp; Pataudi Road, three of the region&#039;s most influential
growth corridors. This unique positioning forms the foundation of the project&#039;s
proposition: &quot;Multi-Corridor Intersection. Multi-Crore
Opportunity.&quot;

As Gurugram continues to expand, infrastructure-led development is
reshaping the city&#039;s real estate landscape. Areas connected by multiple transport
corridors have consistently emerged as preferred destinations for homebuyers
and investors, owing to enhanced accessibility, commercial development, and
long-term appreciation potential.

Emperium Titan has been designed to capitalise on this evolution by
offering residents not just a premium home, but a location that is poised to
become one of Gurugram&#039;s most valuable residential addresses.

Speaking on the significance of the project, Ravi Saund, Founding
Director, Emperium Group, said:

&quot;A
residence is only as valuable as the location it stands on. At Emperium Titan,
homeowners benefit from the convergence of three of Gurugram&#039;s most important
corridors, creating unmatched connectivity today and stronger appreciation for
tomorrow. We believe this is where ultra premium living and smart investing
come together.&quot;

The project&#039;s strategic location offers seamless connectivity to
Delhi, IGI Airport, Cyber City, Golf Course Extension Road, and the rapidly
developing commercial hubs of New Gurugram. With large-scale infrastructure
investments, corporate expansion, and residential demand transforming the
surrounding region, the location is expected to remain a key growth driver in
the years ahead.

Complementing its location advantage, Emperium Titan is an exclusive
development comprising only 74 premium residences, ensuring privacy,
exclusivity, and a low-density living experience. The project features spacious
residences, the signature Club360 lifestyle experience, premium retail
frontage, double basement parking, and thoughtfully curated amenities that
reflect contemporary luxury.

The development is further strengthened by Emperium Group&#039;s legacy of 100%
on-time project delivery, providing homebuyers with confidence that their
investment is backed by timely execution and trusted delivery.

With infrastructure shaping the future of urban living, Emperium Titan
presents a compelling opportunity for those seeking a residence that combines
premium living with long-term value creation.

As Gurugram&#039;s next growth chapter unfolds, Emperium Titan stands at
the very intersection where connectivity, lifestyle, and appreciation come
together, making it not just a premium address, but a multi-crore opportunity. ]]></description>

<title>Zeus Hygia’s Metaberine® Clinical Study Published, Demonstrating Metabolic Health Benefits at just 200 mg Daily</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/zeus-hygias-metaberine-clinical-study-published-demonstrating-metabolic-health-benefits-at-just-200-mg-daily</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/zeus-hygias-metaberine-clinical-study-published-demonstrating-metabolic-health-benefits-at-just-200-mg-daily</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The study reports improvements in glycemic control, GLP-1 response and
lipid markers with bio-optimised berberine

Hyderabad : Zeus Hygia
Lifesciences, an innovator in nutraceutical solutions, today announced the
publication of a clinical study evaluating Metaberine®, its bio-optimised
berberine formulation developed using proprietary BioSOLVE® Technology.
Published in the International Journal of Clinical Trials, the
randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial found that
Metaberine® at 200 mg per day significantly improved multiple markers of
metabolic health in adults at metabolic risk.

The study evaluated 36 healthy adults with fasting glucose levels of
100-125 mg/dL. Participants received Metaberine® 200 mg or placebo once daily
for 14 days, followed by a seven-day washout period. The findings demonstrated
significant improvements in fasting and postprandial glucose levels, along with
enhanced GLP-1 response and favourable changes in lipid parameters.

Notably, fasting glucose decreased by 9.08 mg/dL with Metaberine®
compared with 1.36 mg/dL with placebo, while glucose exposure and peak glucose
levels also declined significantly. The study further reported a 29% increase
in fasting GLP-1 and 22% increase in postprandial GLP-1 with Metaberine®. Total
cholesterol and LDL-C also decreased, while HDL-C increased. The study reported
100% participant retention and no supplement-related adverse events during the
trial.

“The publication of this clinical study marks an important milestone
for Metaberine® and for our efforts to develop next-generation metabolic health
solutions. The findings demonstrate that bio-optimised berberine can deliver
meaningful metabolic benefits at just 200 mg per day, addressing one of the key
limitations associated with conventional berberine formulations, high dosage
requirements,” said Dr. Arunkanth Krishnakumar,
Co-founder and CEO, Zeus Hygia Lifesciences.

Berberine has been widely studied for its role in glucose and lipid
metabolism, but conventional formulations are limited by poor bioavailability
and the need for substantially higher daily doses. Metaberine® uses Zeus
Hygia’s BioSOLVE® Technology, a proprietary aqueous processing technology
designed to enhance solubility and bioavailability, enabling a lower-dose
formulation.

The findings support the potential of Metaberine® as a functional
nutritional ingredient for metabolic wellness, particularly as demand grows for
accessible and effective solutions supporting healthy glucose and lipid
metabolism. The authors conclude that the results warrant further investigation
of bio-optimised berberine in metabolic health applications.

Metaberine® is available for B2B applications across nutraceuticals,
dietary supplements, functional foods and beverages, OTC health products,
pharmaceuticals, and contract manufacturing, enabling partners to develop
next-generation metabolic wellness solutions.

The study is available in the International Journal of Clinical
Trials:

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/rakhi-gift-for-sister-2026-sylvi-watches-early-rakhi-sale-up-to-18-off</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Surat, Gujarat — August
2026 : As Raksha Bandhan approaches, the search for a Rakhi gift for sister and
for brothers too is well underway. This year, Sylvi Watches, the Surat-based,
Make in India D2C watch brand known for its &quot;Race with Time&quot;
philosophy, is stepping into the festive spirit early with a dedicated Rakhi
Sale 2026, running 18th–19th August, offering up to 18% off across
selected men&#039;s and women&#039;s collections.

Whether you&#039;re a sister
looking for a Rakhi gift for your brother or a brother looking to
surprise his sister with something she&#039;ll wear every day, Sylvi&#039;s early Rakhi
sale brings together style, precision, and value at sylvi.in.

Why a Watch as a Rakhi
Gift

Rakhi gifting has
evolved. Where sweets and traditional tokens once dominated, many siblings
today are looking for gifts that carry meaning beyond the occasion, something
functional, stylish, and built to last. A watch fits that description. It sits
on the wrist every day, a reminder of the bond shared on Raksha Bandhan, long
after the festivities are over.

This is where Sylvi Watches for women
operates. Built on the promise of &quot;Race with Time,&quot; the brand
positions itself as a Make in India D2C watch label, offering collections
priced between ₹1,299 and ₹4,999.

Sylvi Rakhi Sale 2026:
The Discount Structure

Sylvi&#039;s Rakhi Sale 2026
is structured across multiple discount tiers, covering multiple styles
and price points, from minimalist dress watches to bold skeleton dials.

Men&#039;s Watches — Up to
16% Off

Collections:
Iconic, Pulse Skeleton, Frist, Core X, Gravitas, Bolt, Ocean, Rig One O One WT
Max, Timegrapher, Urbane, Imperial, Opus, Urbane Moon, Elegare, Blade, Spectre,
Urbanic, Blade DualTime, TimeShift, Starboard, Professional Edge

Men&#039;s watches
are available across four discount tiers, from 10% to 16% off, spanning 21
collections. The range includes everyday and sport-oriented styles such as Bolt
and Ocean, and formal and dress-watch designs such as Elegare and Urbane. The
range also includes function-oriented designs such as Blade DualTime, while the
Professional Edge collection brings a sportier approach to everyday wear.

Women&#039;s Watches — Up to
18% Off

Collections:
Timeora, Serene, Dazzle, Bella

The steepest discount
of the sale applies to Sylvi&#039;s women&#039;s watches collections. The Timeora
collection features clean dials and refined straps, while Serene offers soft,
rounded silhouettes for everyday wear. Dazzle includes sparkle and shimmer
detailing, and Bella offers a versatile, feminine design suited to both daily
wear and festive occasions.

At 18% off, these
collections carry the largest discount in the sale, positioning them as an
option for a Rakhi gift for sister.

A Sale Built for Both
Sisters and Brothers

While Rakhi gifting conversations
often centre on what a brother should buy his sister, Raksha Bandhan is,
at its core, a two-way celebration. Watches can also serve as a practical Rakhi
gift for brothers, without the sizing considerations that come with clothing or
footwear.

Sylvi&#039;s Rakhi Sale 2026
covers this dual audience. The four-bucket discount system across men&#039;s
collections offers brothers a range of styles and price points, while the 18%
off women&#039;s tier applies across the Timeora, Serene, Dazzle, and Bella
collections.

Shopping the Sale: What
to Expect

Sylvi&#039;s early Rakhi
Sale 2026 goes live on 18th August and runs through 19th August, giving
shoppers a two-day window to shop and allowing additional time for delivery
before Raksha Bandhan, which falls on 28th August 2026.

All 25 participating
collections will be available on sylvi.in, the brand&#039;s D2C platform. Sylvi
Watches carries a one-year warranty on its products; terms apply.

The Sylvi Promise: Make
in India, Built to Last

Sylvi Watches operates
under a Make in India positioning, giving the campaign a distinctly domestic
relevance during the festive season, particularly for a gift tied to a cultural
occasion like Raksha Bandhan.

Final Thoughts

Sylvi Watches&#039; early
Rakhi Sale runs 18th–19th August, with discounts up to 18% off, across its
men&#039;s and women&#039;s collections. From the sporty Bolt collection to the Timeora
line, from the dual-timezone Blade DualTime to the Dazzle collection&#039;s sparkle
detailing, Sylvi&#039;s Raksha Bandhan 2026 spans a range of styles available across
different price points.

Shoppers can explore
the sale, browse collection-wise discounts, and place orders at sylvi.in
starting 18th August 2026.

reflecting the Group’s commitment to creating world-class sporting platforms,
nurturing emerging talent and building communities where ambition can thrive.

The partnership with Mumbay FC comes at a meaningful time  for the club and for the city’s footballing
culture. Launched in 2024, Mumbay FC has been building its presence through
local competition and community engagement; its participation in the 2026
Durand Cup marks an important step onto a national stage. The club’s recent
progress, including its success in the Maharashtra State League and subsequent
promotion to I-League 3, has added momentum to its ambitions. For Rubics Group,
the association is rooted in a belief that potential needs the right
environment to flourish. This is central to its ‘Homes That Build Champions’
philosophy—an approach that sees communities not simply as physical spaces, but
as environments that can foster healthier, more active and aspirational lives.

“Sport is one of the strongest ways to build confidence, discipline,
resilience and a sense of community. We believe that talent can only reach its
potential when it has the right environment and opportunities around it. That
belief is at the heart of our ‘Homes That Build Champions’ philosophy. Through
our association with Mumbay FC, we are supporting not just a team, but the
ambition of young players and the larger football community in Mumbai. We
believe the city has tremendous potential to build a stronger football
ecosystem, and we are proud to contribute to that journey,” said Suhan
Shetty, Founder, Rubics Group.

Football provides a natural extension of this philosophy. Mumbai has
always been one of India’s major sporting hubs, with a sporting culture built
around participation, competition and ambition. While cricket has traditionally
dominated the city’s sporting identity, football has maintained deep roots
through its maidans, neighbourhood clubs, academies and grassroots communities.
Today, it is also finding resonance with a younger, digitally connected
audience.

Mumbay FC’s growing profile reflects this changing landscape. The club
has attracted interest from audiences beyond traditional football circles,
including through the involvement of actor and football enthusiast Tiger
Shroff, who has been associated with the club since its launch and has
participated in the Mumbai District League and training sessions. His
involvement illustrates how football can connect with wider youth culture and
bring new audiences into the sport. To build a lasting football ecosystem calls
for investment in talent, infrastructure, access and opportunity. That is where
Rubics Group sees an important role for corporate participation.

The Durand Cup, Asia’s oldest football tournament, provides Mumbay FC
with a significant platform to compete and gain national exposure. Led by
captain Mohammed Kaif Khan, the squad brings together emerging Indian
footballers across defence, midfield and attack, giving them an opportunity to
compete at one of the country’s most historic football tournaments.

For Rubics Group, backing Mumbay FC is consistent with its larger
commitment to building communities where health, ambition, discipline and opportunity
can coexist. Sport, in this context, becomes a way of creating pathways,
connecting communities and giving young people the confidence to pursue their
potential. ]]></description>

reported a strong start to FY27, backed by improving realisations and
disciplined execution across its residential and commercial portfolio. 

Puravankara reported a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹25 crore in Q1FY27,
compared to a loss of ₹69 crore in Q1FY26, while EBITDA margin expanded to 25%
from 15%. The company handed over 745 homes covering 0.94 msft during the

crore. The pipeline is supported by a redevelopment portfolio of five projects
in Mumbai, representing 2.23 msft of saleable area on the company&#039;s share.

Editorial note on reported profitability

Under Ind AS 115 accounting norms, revenue and profit from residential
projects are recognised only when homes are handed over, not when they are
sold. As a result, there is usually a lag between sales performance and reported
earnings.

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/six-days-to-himtex-2026-a-closer-look-at-difact-and-this-years-partners</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad, 14 August 2026: A week before opening
day, work at HITEX Exhibition Centre has moved from planning to
building. Stall frames are up, and the first machines are starting to arrive
ahead of HIMTEX 2026, which opens 20 August and runs through 24
August.

With the exhibitor line-up now finalised, organisers turned their
attention this week to DiFact – the Digital Factory &amp; Connected
Technologies Pavilion, giving visitors a closer look at what to expect. At
its heart is the Digital Factory Experience Zone (DFEZ), developed in
collaboration with the Automation Industry Association (AIA), the
pavilion’s Knowledge Partner. Designed as a live production line, the zone will
take a component through turning and milling, inspect it on a CMM, and track
its progress through a real-time monitoring dashboard that visitors can watch
update at every stage.

“We spent months deciding how much of this should be a demo and how
much should actually work,” said Mr. Vinoth Sasidharan, Project Head, HIMTEX.
“We ultimately decided that the entire pavilion should be genuinely connected.
That felt like the right way to demonstrate what connected manufacturing really
means.”

This year&#039;s show also carries a longer list of partners than earlier
editions. MRS Equipment Trading Private Limited joins as Powered By
Partner. Manav Marketing Pvt. Ltd. and Suresh Indu Lasers Private
Limited are Diamond Partners. Gold Partner status goes to KTM Technology
&amp; Innovations India Pvt. Ltd. and Cromwell Industrial Supplies
Private Limited, while GMT Engineers Pvt. Ltd. and Nbeson Tools
International join as Silver Partners. Zoho Corporation Private Limited
is this year&#039;s Digital Factory Enablement Partner, Lokesh Machines Limited
is Visitor Engagement Partner, and Komter Equipment Pvt. Ltd. joins as
Compressor Partner.

“A show of this size runs on the strength of its partners,” Mr.
Kuna Shankar, Director, HITEX said. “Each of these companies chose to back
this edition, and we value that as a great deal.”

Visitor registrations have picked up noticeably over the past week,
according to the organising team, with a good share coming from outside
Telangana. Organisers see this as an early sign that this edition&#039;s reach
matches the numbers on paper.

HIMTEX 2026 runs daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM between 20–24
August 2026 at HITEX Exhibition Centre, 1st Floor, Izzat Nagar,
Hyderabad – 500084. Entry is open to registered business visitors aged 18
and above, and organisers recommend registering online ahead of time for a
quicker entry at the gate.

HIMTEX 2026 is supported by the Ministry of Micro, Small &amp;
Medium Enterprises (MSME) and the Machine Tool Manufacturers&#039;
Association, Rajkot. Registration and the exhibitor list are both available
at www.himtex.in.

The Hyderabad International Machine Tool &amp; Engineering Expo
(HIMTEX) is the flagship biennial exhibition dedicated to machine tools, manufacturing
technologies, industrial automation, and engineering solutions. Bringing
together leading manufacturers, technology providers, buyers, and industry
professionals, HIMTEX serves as a catalyst for innovation, collaboration, and
business growth while supporting the advancement of India&#039;s manufacturing
sector. ]]></description>

<title>IDFC FIRST Bank secures its first international rating with Investment Grade from S&amp;amp;P Global Ratings</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/idfc-first-bank-secures-its-first-international-rating-with-investment-grade-from-sp-global-ratings</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/idfc-first-bank-secures-its-first-international-rating-with-investment-grade-from-sp-global-ratings</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, August 14, 2026: IDFC FIRST Bank is pleased to announce that S&amp;P Global
Ratings has assigned the Bank its inaugural international investment-grade
issuer credit ratings of ‘BBB-’ long-term and ‘A-3’ short-term, with a Stable
Outlook.

Commenting on the rating, Mr.
Sudhanshu Jain - Chief Financial Officer &amp; Head Corporate Centre, said, &quot;We
are delighted to receive our first international investment grade Rating from
S&amp;P with a Stable Outlook.

We view this rating as an important
milestone in our progress. The investment-grade rating is expected to enhance
the Bank&#039;s standing with global investors and financial institutions, support
access to international funding markets, facilitate Standby Letter of Credit
(SBLC) lines, strengthen foreign currency funding at the Bank&#039;s GIFT City
International Banking Unit, support mobilisation of FCNR(B) deposits, and
deepen correspondent banking and cross-border trade finance relationships.”

Key excerpts from S&amp;P Global
Ratings&#039; rating rationale:


 Expects IDFC FIRST Bank to maintain strong capitalization over
     the next 18-24 months, with its Risk-Adjusted Capital (RAC) ratio
     projected at 10.0%-10.5%, supported by regular capital raising, improving
     profitability and a low dividend payout policy. 
 The agency also noted the Bank&#039;s demonstrated ability to access
     equity markets and raise capital to support growth.  
 S&amp;P Global Ratings expects further improvement in the
     Bank&#039;s profitability, supported by healthy revenue growth, declining
     credit costs and improving operating leverage. The agency expects the
     Bank&#039;s cost-to-income ratio to improve to 65%-70% from 75% in FY2026 over
     the next two years. 
 S&amp;P expects the Bank&#039;s asset quality to remain stable,
     supported by technology-driven underwriting, portfolio diversification and
     a growing focus on lower-risk lending segments. The Stable Outlook
     reflects the agency&#039;s expectation that the Bank will maintain strong capitalization,
     manageable asset quality risks and a granular retail funding profile over
     the next two years. 
 S&amp;P noted the Bank&#039;s experienced management team and strong
     digital capabilities, which have supported the expansion of a scalable
     retail banking franchise with nationwide reach. 
 S&amp;P further highlighted the Bank&#039;s strong funding profile,
     with a CASA ratio of 50.8% as of June 30, 2026.  


The investment-grade rating is expected to
strengthen the Bank&#039;s access to international markets and funding sources,
support trade and SBLC lines, foreign currency funding, FCNR(B) deposit
mobilisation, correspondent banking relationships and cross-border trade
finance activities. ]]></description>

<title>BEYOND THE FLAGS: THE FORGOTTEN SOUL OF OUR INDEPENDENCE | BY KARISHMA</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-the-flags-the-forgotten-soul-of-our-independence-by-karishma</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-the-flags-the-forgotten-soul-of-our-independence-by-karishma</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Every year
when 15th August arrives, our country turns into a beautiful painting of
saffron, white and green. Patriotic songs echo in the streets, children run
with the flags, and our phones are flooded with “Happy Independence Day”
messages. It is a day of immense joy and pride. 

But in the
middle of this loud celebration, a quiet and uncomfortable question hides: Have
we forgotten what freedom actually cost, and what we have turned it into
today? 

We have
reduced our freedom struggle to a few famous names in school books. But worse
than forgetting our past is how we are misusing our present.


 The Cost We
     Forgot : When People Bled for Tomorrow


When we
talk about freedom, we treat it like a gift that was handed down easily. We
forget the oceans of blood, the broken families, and the young lives cut short
so that we can breathe free air.


 A bookbinder
     by profession from Patna, Peer Ali Khan played a monumental role in
     the 1857 revolt by secretly organizing and leading a network of freedom
     fighters. Even when captured and offered his life in exchange for
     betraying his comrades, he proudly chose the gallows, declaring that no
     threat could shake his loyalty to the motherland.



 Leading a
     massive procession of protesters during the Quit India Movement in 1942, Matangini
     Hazra (73) refused to back down even when security forces opened fire.
     Bleeding from her wounds and holding the tricolor high, she chanted ‘Vande
     Mataram’ until her final breath, proving that true courage knows no age.



 During the
     1942 Quit India Movement, Kanaklata Barua bravely led a procession
     to hoist the national flag at a local police station. She took a bullet
     straight to her chest with unwavering courage, making the ultimate
     sacrifice at such a tender age to keep our flag flying high.


They did
not suffer, bleed, or walk to the gallows so that we could take our rights for
granted and waste them today. Their sacrifices remind us that the foundation of
our nation was laid with absolute selflessness, resilience, and an unbreakable
love for the motherland that asked for nothing in return.

2. The
Misunderstanding we live In: What Freedom means Today 

Think about
those brave heroes who gave their lives for us, and then look at how we treat
our freedom in the present. Today, a dangerous misconception has taken
root where freedom is mistaken for a license to act without any accountability: 


 We often think
     a free society means we can litter public spaces, ignore our civic duties,
     and behave entirely selfishly. 
 We believe
     freedom of speech gives us the right to spread hatred, abuse others online
     behind a screen, and tear down social harmony.
 We treat our
     rights purely as an entitlement, completely forgetting that every single
     right comes paired with an equal duty to our nation 
 The Hypocrisy
     of Convenience : True freedom is heavily disrespected when people commit
     shameful acts, harass others, or show complete disregard for the law and
     safety, only to transform into overnight ‘patriots’ every 15th of August
     just to post pictures online with hashtags like #Azaadi.


This is not
true independence. That is pure entitlement, ego, and a complete disrespect for
our history. True freedom means we all share responsibility, when we break
society apart through carelessness, unfair judgment, or division, we destroy
the very freedom we celebrate.

3. Bridging
the Past and the Present 

When we
misuse our freedom for petty selfishness, online abuse, or civic
irresponsibility, we dishonor the young heroes who gave up their entire future
for us.

True
freedom is not freedom from rules or responsibilities, it is the freedom to
build a fair, kind, and fearless nation where everyone can live with dignity,
equality, and mutual respect.

How to Honor them this day 


 Remember their sacrifice: Look past the holiday celebrations and
     remember the unyielding courage of people like Peer Ali Khan, Matangiri
     Hazra, and Kanaklata Barua.
 Redefine your Freedom: Whenever you are about to misuse your
     rights, whether by wasting resources, ignoring duties, or spreading
     negativity, stop and ask yourself: Is this what millions bled for?
 Act with Purpose: Be a responsible citizen and help build the
     nation they dreamed of through your character, kindness, and integrity.


Our
ancestors gladly gave away their “Today” so that we could have our “Free Tomorrow”.
Let us stop treating freedom as a free pass, and start treating it as the
sacred duty it truly is.

Jain Hind!

<title>Deeksha Vedantu Veteran of 15 Years Creates History: Dr. Krishna B S Felicitated for Record&#45;Breaking Umling La Expedition</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/deeksha-vedantu-veteran-of-15-years-creates-history-dr-krishna-b-s-felicitated-for-record-breaking-umling-la-expedition</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/deeksha-vedantu-veteran-of-15-years-creates-history-dr-krishna-b-s-felicitated-for-record-breaking-umling-la-expedition</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Bengaluru,
August 13, 2026 : Deeksha Vedantu&#039;s KMWA PU College in Mahalakshmipuram played
host to a proud moment for the Deeksha Vedantu family today, as Dr. Krishna B
S, an educator who has spent 15 years shaping students at Deeksha, was
felicitated for setting a new India Book of Records title: the Longest Car
Journey to Umling La by a Specially Abled Individual.

The
ceremony was graced by Mr. Harish R, representing the India Book of Records
team, who presented Dr. Krishna with the official India Book of Records
certificate recognizing his title for the Longest Car Journey to Umling La by a
Specially Abled Individual, in the presence of dignitaries, students, faculty,
and members of the Deeksha community.

Dr.
Krishna&#039;s expedition covered over 1,261 kilometers across ten days, taking him
from Chandigarh through some of the most demanding terrain in the country —
Zojila Pass, Kargil, Leh, and Hanle — before reaching Umling La at 19,024 feet,
the highest motorable pass on Earth. He completed the entire journey behind the
wheel himself, without a support driver.

For
those who know him at Deeksha Vedantu, the achievement is consistent with a
career built on the same conviction. Alongside his role as an educator, Dr.
Krishna is an accomplished bodybuilder who has competed at a national level, a
life shaped, in his own words, by refusing to let assumptions about his body
define what he could do.

Dr.
Krishna B S said: &quot;Deeksha Vedantu has been home for 15 years. It&#039;s where
I found that teaching and proving are the same act. I didn&#039;t take on this drive
to set a record. I took it on because I wanted everyone to see, not just hear,
that disability is not inability. Every pass, every kilometre of that journey
was a lesson that I will carry my entire life and I hope it inspires my
students never to set limits to their dreams.”

The
recognition places Dr. Krishna&#039;s name among India Book of Records&#039; roster of
&quot;extraordinary feats by extraordinary people.” It’s a title earned not in
a studio or a stadium, but across ten days and 1,261 kilometres of some of the
country&#039;s most unforgiving terrain. For Deeksha Vedantu, where he has spent the
last 15 years shaping students, it&#039;s a milestone that means something more: a
living example of the belief the institution has always tried to instil in its
own students. ]]></description>

<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/fnp-celebrates-sisters-with-a-rakhi-collection-designed-around-what-they-love</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/fnp-celebrates-sisters-with-a-rakhi-collection-designed-around-what-they-love</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ From personalised keepsakes and
fragrances to contemporary gift sets, the collection brings together thoughtful
gifting options for brothers looking to make Rakhi special for their sisters.

New Delhi, August 2026 : Raksha Bandhan has always been about the bond between siblings, but
the way brothers choose to celebrate their sisters is becoming increasingly
personal. Reflecting this shift, FNP, India’s leading gifting brand, has
unveiled its rakhi gifts for sister collection,
bringing together personalised gifts, fragrances, contemporary gift sets and
thoughtfully curated hampers designed around different personalities,
preferences and budgets.

At the heart of the collection is a
simple insight: the best gift for a sister is one that feels chosen
specifically for her. From something she can use every day to something
that carries a shared memory, brothers today are looking beyond conventional
gifting and choosing products that are personal, relevant and expressive.

The collection features products such as
the Personalised Queen of Hearts Gift Notebook, FNP Aura Euphoria Perfume
Gift, Pastel Pop Rakhi Gift for Sister, Personalised Gift Set for Her, and Best
Sis Personalised LED Tabletop, with options ranging from ₹449 to ₹1,099.

Speaking about the collection, Avi
Kumar, Chief Marketing Officer, FNP, said, “Rakhi is one of those
occasions where the gift is never just about the product—it is about how well
you know your sibling. When brothers shop for their sisters today, they are
looking for something that reflects her personality, her taste and the
relationship they share. At FNP, our focus has been to make that choice easier
with a collection that brings together thoughtful design, personalisation and
variety across price points. Whether she loves fragrances, personalised gifts
or something for her everyday space, there is something that feels distinctly
hers.”

The FNP Aura Euphoria Perfume Gift,
priced at ₹1,099, brings fragrance into the Rakhi gifting mix with notes of
peony, osmanthus, rose, sandalwood and patchouli. For sisters who love
something more personal, the Personalised Queen of Hearts Gift Notebook
turns an everyday essential into a gift made specifically for her through
customisation.

The Pastel Pop Rakhi Gift for Sister
brings a younger, contemporary design language to the occasion, while the Best
Sis Personalised LED Tabletop combines personalisation with décor. The Personalised
Gift Set for Her brings multiple gifting elements together in one
coordinated set, making it an easy yet thoughtful choice for brothers looking
for a more complete Rakhi present.

Beyond individual products, FNP has also
curated hampers that bring together fragrances, personalised products and other
gifting favourites. The assortment has been created to give brothers more
choice depending on their sister’s personality—whether she prefers something
stylish, practical, personalised or indulgent.

With its extensive delivery network and
personalisation capabilities, FNP is also enabling brothers separated by
distance to remain part of the celebration. The collection can be ordered for
sisters across India as well as internationally, bringing the same focus on
quality, design and timely delivery to long-distance Rakhi celebrations.

The Rakhi Gifts for Sister collection
is available on FNP’s website and across select FNP retail stores, with same-day
delivery available for rakhi online
along with other categories across select cities and international delivery to
major markets.

Through the collection, FNP continues to
build on its larger Rakhi proposition - making it easier to find a gift that
feels right for every kind of sibling and every kind of bond. ]]></description>

<title>Unlimit Mobile Ties Up with ICICI Bank Canada, RBC Royal Bank to Add Mobile Connectivity Benefits to Student GIC Journey</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/unlimit-mobile-ties-up-with-icici-bank-canada-rbc-royal-bank-to-add-mobile-connectivity-benefits-to-student-gic-journey</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/unlimit-mobile-ties-up-with-icici-bank-canada-rbc-royal-bank-to-add-mobile-connectivity-benefits-to-student-gic-journey</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

India,
August 13, 2026 :   Unlimit Mobile, a
global eSIM connectivity brand owned by Zetexa Global, an India-based travel
ancillary company, has established a referral partnership with ICICI Bank Canada
and RBC Royal Bank for Indian students applying to study in Canada. Under this
partnership, Unlimit Mobile connectivity credits will be packaged along with a
Student Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) - a crucial part of the student
GIC application process - offering students a convenient, referral-linked
solution for their entire study permit journey.

How
the Program Works

A
Student GIC is a financial product accepted by Canadian immigration authorities
as proof of funds for a student visa application. Indian students enrolling for
higher education in Canada can register using Unlimit Mobile&#039;s
referral link, which leads them to ICICI Bank Canada&#039;s SPP (Student Partners
Program) online portal. During the application process, students would have the
option to select if they have been referred by a consultant/agent. By answering
&#039;yes&#039; and providing the tracking codes, the referral can be traced and the
award allotted.

Once
the student provides their documents and submits the application, ICICI Bank
Canada provides the account number and remittance instructions instantly. Most
provinces require a remittance amount of CAD 23,120, according to the student
GIC guidelines, although this may vary province wise. Following the KYC
completion the bank permits a funding of up to CAD 50,000.

A
payment may be made from either the student&#039;s bank account in India or their
parent/spouse&#039;s bank account. The payment may be divided into a maximum of two
transactions.

It
generally takes 2 to 4 days for funds to reflect in the student&#039;s ICICI Bank
account, post which the ICICI Bank Canada Certificate is provided in another
day.

The
mandatory KYC can be done with documents such as Aadhar card, PAN card, driving
licence, voter ID, birth certificate and recent utility bills/bank statement
not older than two months as long as these have been issued under the students
name and the address/ DOB match is provided to the bank.

The
RBC Phase and Arrival Actions

The
second phase commences upon arrival in Canada. The student may activate their
account online via the ICICI Bank Canada SPP app/website using their account number,
passport number and date of birth provided during the ICICI application process
and then open an RBC Royal Bank account by using the provided Referral Document
from the previously mentioned stages. Post this, all GIC installments would be
directly transferred and credited to the student&#039;s RBC bank account.

Students
opening an RBC student account are provided a student credit card with a credit
limit of CAD 2,000, no prior Canadian credit history required, and no annual
fee, alongside 2% cashback on groceries and 1% cashback on other eligible
transactions. Students also get a nationwide network of over 1,200 branches and
4,200 ATMS. Students can opt to have their GIC money transferred into their RBC
bank account in a single tranche or installments based on their setup of the
ICICI GIC. Following 12 months, the ICICI Bank Canada account will continue as
a no-fee remittance account for ongoing India-Canada bank transfers, as
provided in Unlimit Mobile&#039;s partners page.

The
Connectivity Incentive

The
reward component of the partnership where Unlimit Mobile holds brand identity:
CAD 120 is given as redeemable Unlimit Mobile credits (coins) to the Unlimit
Mobile wallet upon opening, funding and verification of the student&#039;s GIC
account. These credits are non-redeemable and can only be used against Unlimit
Mobile&#039;s phone bills (up to 50% off the monthly bill amount); for example,
students with a CAD 40 monthly bill will have CAD 30 from the coin balance
applied, using up to 50% of the bill amount and paying the remaining CAD 20 by
cash or card, leaving CAD 10 of credits for future use.

The
referral benefit is applicable for applicants from India, China, The
Philippines, Vietnam, Morocco, Senegal and Nepal. The Indian student market
represents one of the top origin countries in Canada&#039;s GIC program.

Zetexa&#039;s
standpoint

Zetexa
Global, through its brands Unlimit Mobile, ZetSIM (B2B, white label and API
based B2B eSIM platform) and its various airport ancillary services like Meet
&amp; Greet, Fast Track and Business lounge access now extends their reach
beyond travel planning and into the pre-departure, student-centric application
journey. This partnership comes as the outcome of a noticeable shift where
ancillary services providers are beginning to bundle services such as SIM
connectivity, remittance and travel document management alongside visa
consultation rather than offering these separately.

&quot;While
the GIC and visa application are only the first milestone for most students
from India, maintaining connectivity and secure banking facilities upon arrival
are a primary concern for them. By integrating Unlimit Mobile into the
onboarding and banking processes with ICICI Bank Canada and RBC Royal Bank, we
are assisting students even before they complete the formalities of leaving
India,&quot; commented Amit Agarwal, Founder &amp; CEO, Zetexa Global.

&quot;This
partnership is a natural extension of our approach to travel ancillary
services, where banking, connectivity and on-ground support should not be independent
decisions. We are excited to be part of the ICICI Bank Canada and RBC ecosystem
for outbound students,&quot; said Amit Agarwal, Founder &amp; CEO, and Srujan
Yeleti, Founder &amp; COO, of Zetexa Global.

ICICI
Bank Canada also provides a digital refund service through the SPP portal if a
visa application is rejected after the GIC has been funded, as stated in the
program&#039;s published terms.

Global is an India based travel auxiliary company that owns international eSIM
brands such as ZetSIM and Unlimit Mobile and provides white label and API based

<title>Voice of Healthcare and National Medical Leaders Partner to Advance Mechanism&#45;Driven Care in Persistently Uncontrolled Hypertension</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/voice-of-healthcare-and-national-medical-leaders-partner-to-advance-mechanism-driven-care-in-persistently-uncontrolled-hypertension</link>

<description><![CDATA[ NEW
DELHI, INDIA, 13 August 2026 : Voice of Healthcare (VOH) today announced
the conclusion of its milestone national roundtable summit, bringing together
leading national healthcare experts to address the critical public health
challenge of persistently uncontrolled hypertension. The summit, titled
“Persistently Uncontrolled Hypertension: From Recognition to Mechanism-Driven
Care in India,” held at Le Méridien, New Delhi, established a scalable,
evidence-informed framework for national hypertension care.

Hypertension
remains a leading driver of chronic kidney disease (CKD), stroke,
cardiovascular events, and premature mortality in India. As healthcare systems
evolve, clinical experts and leading medical bodies are calling for a vital
paradigm shift from a purely blood-pressurenumber-driven approach to
personalized, mechanism-driven care to halt progressive organ damage.

The
roundtable featured distinct keynotes and insight addresses from national
scientific, digital health, and state administrative leaders, framing the scale
of the challenge and establishing the policy directions for intervention.

The
roundtable commenced with a context-setting session moderated by Dr. P.
Ganeshkumar, Scientist E and Head, Division of Non-Communicable Diseases
(NCDs), ICMR–National Institute of Epidemiology. Setting the tone for the
discussions, Dr. Ganeshkumar highlighted the growing burden of persistently
uncontrolled hypertension in India, noting that despite significant progress
under the India Hypertension Control Initiative (IHCI), blood pressure control
remains suboptimal. He emphasised that &quot;It is time we move beyond merely
identifying the problem. Our focus must now shift to mechanism-driven
diagnosis, implementation research, and evidence-based interventions that can
translate into better long-term outcomes for patients with persistently
uncontrolled hypertension”.

Following
up, offering a state-level perspective, Dr. Suman Singh, Director of Health
Services and Managing Director, NHM Chandigarh, highlighted Chandigarh&#039;s
progress in strengthening primary healthcare through universal enrolment under
the National Programme for Prevention and Control of NCDs and routine blood
pressure screening for all OPD patients. She also noted the rising incidence of
hypertension among younger adults and shared Chandigarh&#039;s innovative 24×7
Geriatric Care mobile ambulance model, which delivers screening, treatment, and
counselling to elderly and homebound patients. She concluded that,
&quot;Hypertension is no longer a disease of old age. We are increasingly
seeing younger individuals presenting with uncontrolled blood pressure, making
early screening and accessible community-based care more important than ever”.

Highlighting
the role of digital health in improving hypertension care, Dr. Pankaj Arora,
Director of Adoption, National Health Authority (NHA), showcased how the
Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) and AI-enabled Clinical Decision Support
Systems (CDSS) are strengthening clinical decision-making. He explained that
the platform provides healthcare professionals with real-time, evidence-based
treatment recommendations and safety alerts, enabling more personalized,
accurate, and safer hypertension management across healthcare settings.
&quot;Digital health is no longer just about digitizing records—it is about
enabling clinicians to make timely, evidence-based decisions that improve
patient safety and longterm outcomes,&quot; said Dr. Pankaj Arora.

To
provide a health systems perspective, Dr. Roopa Shivashankar, Scientist-F,
Division of Delivery Research, ICMR Headquarters, highlighted that hypertension
control in India remains low due to clinical inertia, treatment adherence
challenges, and systemic barriers. She emphasized the need for patient-centric
care models, including longer medication refill cycles for stable patients, and
outlined ongoing ICMR research initiatives focused on strengthening primary
care, community engagement, and digital implementation to improve hypertension
outcomes. &quot;Improving hypertension control requires addressing not only
patient-related factors but also clinical inertia and health system gaps
through evidence-based implementation research and patient-centric care
models,&quot; said Dr. Roopa Shivashankar.

Dr.
Vimal Mehta, Professor, Department of Cardiology, Maulana Azad Medical College,
Govt. of NCT of Delhi, highlighted the need to shift the focus from managing
established disease to preventing its progression. He emphasized that greater
attention must be given to people with prediabetes and prehypertension,
particularly younger populations, through early screening and preventive
interventions. He concluded that, ‘’We are looking in the wrong direction if we
focus only on treating diabetes and hypertension. The real opportunity lies in
identifying prediabetes and prehypertension early and preventing their
progression. We need to start screening younger populations and build
prevention into the way we approach these growing health challenges’’.

The
subsequent panel discussion, featuring Dr. Ashwani Gupta, Dr. Sanjeev Gulati,
Dr. Sandeep Bansal, Dr. Vimal Mehta, Mr. Aseem Garg, Dr. Sandeep Arora, Dr. V.
Prakash, Dr. K. Madan Gopal, Mr. Shantanu Saha, Ms. Nupur Lalvani, and Mr. Ram
Khandelwal, explored the clinical, economic, and patient-centred dimensions of
persistently uncontrolled hypertension.

The
experts collectively emphasized the need for earlier identification of
secondary hypertension, particularly primary aldosteronism, strengthened
cardiorenal risk assessment, wider adoption of validated blood pressure
measurement practices, evidence-based treatment pathways, and greater
participation in India-specific clinical research.

The
discussion also highlighted the importance of investing in preventive
healthcare, improving referral systems, leveraging digital health solutions,
and generating robust local evidence to support mechanism-driven hypertension
management.

The
panel further underscored that sustainable hypertension control requires active
patient participation through improved health literacy, treatment adherence,
routine health screening, supportive communities, and collaborative action
between clinicians, policymakers, researchers, and patient advocacy groups to
reduce the growing burden of cardiovascular and kidney diseases.

<title>Penguin Random House announces The Story Map by Sandeep Nair</title>

A Proven
Storytelling System That Makes Your Audience Listen, Believe, and Act

By Sandeep Nair | Penguin Random House |
August 2026

ABOUT THE
BOOK

When Sandeep Nair was thirteen, he entered an
extempore competition at school. About forty-five seconds into his speech, his
mind went completely blank. He stood on stage, unable to find the next word,
while his teachers and classmates waited. Eventually, he walked off before his
time was up.

It was an unusual starting point for someone
who would go on to spend much of his career working with stories.

Over the last fifteen years, Sandeep has worked
across engineering, marketing and brand strategy, with companies including
P&amp;G, Reckitt Benckiser, the Tata Group and Swiggy, across India, the UK and
Singapore. He has built marketing campaigns, presented ideas in boardrooms,
worked with founders and marketers, and run storytelling sessions for senior
executives.

That experience taught him something valuable.


The people who appeared to be naturally gifted
storytellers were rarely working without a framework. They had simply used
certain patterns so often that they no longer had to think consciously about
them. What looked like instinct was, at least partly, learnt.

The Story Map grew out
of Sandeep’s attempt to give a shape to those patterns.

The book is written especially for people who do
good work but struggle to make other people care about it: the founder who
understands the business but cannot explain the opportunity to an investor; the
manager whose feedback does not land; or the consultant with the right answer
who nevertheless fails to convince the client. 

Sandeep’s argument is that this is not
necessarily due to a lack of charisma or an absence of some elusive
“storytelling gene”. Storytelling can be studied, practised and improved.

The Story Map provides a
practical system for doing that.

THE IDEA
BEHIND THE BOOK

The book begins with the story of Ignaz
Semmelweis, a nineteenth-century physician who discovered that something as
simple as handwashing could dramatically reduce deaths among women giving
birth.

Semmelweis had the evidence to back up his
observations. After he introduced handwashing with chlorinated lime, mortality
in his clinic fell sharply. But he could not adequately explain why it worked,
and his attempts to persuade the medical establishment largely failed. He was
eventually confined to a mental asylum where he perished from, ironically, an
infection. 

Louis Pasteur later helped make the idea of germ
theory easier to understand. Microorganisms gave physicians an enemy they could
picture: invisible agents that could travel from one person to another and
cause disease. Pasteur is hailed as a hero today whereas Semmelweis is largely
forgotten. 

It’s one of Sandeep’s favourite stories
because it illustrates a common problem that appears far beyond medicine.
Having the right information does not guarantee that other people will
understand it, believe it or act on it.

Much of modern working life has the same issue.
We are trained to gather information, make presentations, analyse numbers and
defend recommendations. We spend far less time learning how to decide what
another person needs to hear, how much context they need, what is getting in
the way of belief, or how an idea should be presented depending on the room in
which it is being presented.

The Story Map is an
attempt to provide a practical way of thinking through those questions.

HOW THE
STORY MAP WORKS

At the centre of the book are three parts of a
story: Soul, Body and Spirit.

Soul is the
meaning of the story. It starts with three questions: Who is this story really
about? What do they want? And what is standing in their way?

Sandeep describes these as Character, Goal
and Challenge. A founder pitching a company, for example, does not
automatically have to make herself the hero of the story. The more important
character may be the customer trying to solve a problem. Once that choice
changes, the rest of the story often changes with it.

Body deals with
how the story is built. It covers structure, tension and connection: how
information should be ordered, what will make somebody keep listening, and what
will help an abstract idea become easier to understand or remember.

The book draws on nine master story structures
as well as storytelling techniques ranging from ticking clocks and “what if”
scenarios to anecdotes, confession and visual metaphor.

Spirit deals with
the part of storytelling that is easiest to overlook: the audience and the
situation.

A story that works in a keynote may not work
in a boardroom. An argument that motivates an existing employee may be entirely
wrong for a sceptical investor. The same facts can require a different order,
tone or emotional register depending on who is listening and what they already
believe.

Spirit therefore asks three further questions:
Who is the Audience? What should they feel? And what Context are you speaking
in?

Together, Soul, Body and Spirit contain 81
storytelling patterns. The reader, however, is not expected to memorise or use
all of them.

Instead, the book starts with a simple
question: What are you trying to achieve?

From there, readers can choose from seven
common storytelling missions: Convince, Lead, Explain, Connect, Motivate,
Honour and Repair. Each has its own Story Path through the larger system
(and hence the name The Story Map), allowing someone to build a story for the
situation at hand without first having to master the entire framework.

The book applies these ideas to pitches,
presentations, leadership communication, difficult conversations, interviews,
public speaking and other situations in which the way an idea is communicated
can affect what happens next.

WHY
STORYTELLING MATTERS IN THE AGE OF AI

The timing of the book is significant because
the mechanics of communication are changing quickly.

AI can already help people organise notes,
summarise information, prepare presentations, draft emails and generate
reasonably fluent prose. It can also produce hooks, metaphors, scripts and
emotional language in seconds.

But fluency is only one part of communication.

Someone still has to decide what the real
problem is. Someone has to understand the audience, choose what information
matters, work out what evidence will be credible, decide which emotion is appropriate
and judge how the message should change when the context changes.

Those are questions of judgment rather than
simply language generation.

Sandeep sees AI as a useful collaborator in
the storytelling process, particularly for exploring possibilities and
improving drafts. But he argues that the ability to generate more communication
makes the underlying choices more important, not less so. A polished story
built around the wrong character, the wrong problem or the wrong understanding
of the audience is still the wrong story.

This is one reason the book focuses on
thinking before writing. Before reaching for a clever opening or an emotional
line, it asks the storyteller to understand the Character, Goal, Challenge,
Audience and Context.

“I AM NOT A
NATURAL STORYTELLER”

Sandeep is deliberately open in the book about
his own relationship with storytelling.

“I am not a natural storyteller,” he writes
near the beginning.

The thirteen-year-old who froze on stage did
not disappear when he became an executive. Even after years of presenting ideas
and speaking to large groups, Sandeep describes still feeling some trace of
that anxiety whenever he stands in front of a room What changed was that he
gradually developed structures he could rely on.

That experience also shaped the kind of book
he wanted to write. The Story Map is not intended only for professional
speakers, advertising people or people who already enjoy performing in front of
an audience. It is meant for people who have something useful to say and would
like a more reliable, confident way of saying it.

“Most people do not fail at storytelling
because they have nothing interesting to say. They fail because they start with
what they want to say, instead of asking what the room needs to hear. I wrote
this book for people who are good at their work but bad at making others care
about it,” says Sandeep.

ADVANCE
PRAISE FOR THE STORY MAP

“Sandeep proves that facts don’t move people,
stories do. The Story Map gives you a system to make anyone listen, care
and act.”

— Ankur Warikoo, bestselling author

“Finally, a framework that turns storytelling
from instinct into a repeatable, learnable skill. Sandeep Nair knows how to
tell great stories and it shows.”

— Arindam Paul, CBO, Atomberg

“We navigate the world through stories. And
being a good storyteller is an invaluable skill to have. The good thing is that
it can be learnt—and Sandeep is a fantastic guide!”

— Amit Varma, two-time Bastiat Prize-winning
journalist and host of The Seen and The Unseen podcast

“I preach to founders that storytelling is one
of their most important skills—every stakeholder wants to join a great story
that’s unfolding. Sandeep’s book offers a sharp set of frameworks to shape
one’s storytelling, an invaluable guide to founder journeys.”

— Karthik Reddy, co-founder and managing
partner, Blume Ventures

WHO THE
BOOK IS FOR

The Story Map is written
for people who regularly find themselves in situations where their words affect
what happens next.

That includes founders pitching investors,
hiring teams or explaining a new idea; leaders trying to take people through
change; marketers and communications professionals building brands and
campaigns; consultants and specialists explaining complicated subjects; and
speakers, teachers and coaches trying to hold the attention of a room.

It is particularly aimed at people who already
know their work well. Their problem is usually not a shortage of information.
It is deciding what part of that information matters to the person sitting
across from them, and finding a form in which it can be understood and
remembered.

ABOUT
SANDEEP NAIR

Sandeep Nair has spent fifteen years working
across engineering, marketing, brand strategy and storytelling.

He began his career at Tata Motors, working on
the engine assembly line in Pune. An early engineering problem there
unexpectedly taught him something that would shape the rest of his career.
After technical experts had struggled to resolve an issue with an RFID system, Sandeep
spoke to the mechanics who actually used it every day. Their perspective helped
uncover the problem and save the project.

The experience made him increasingly
interested in the human side of problems. He subsequently completed his MBA at
IIM Bangalore and moved into marketing.

Sandeep went on to work with companies
including P&amp;G, Reckitt Benckiser, the Tata Group and Swiggy, building
brands across India, the UK and Singapore. He writes regularly about marketing,
strategy and storytelling, and conducts workshops for founders, marketers and
senior executives.

The Story Map brings
together the structures, mistakes and lessons he accumulated while learning how
to make ideas clearer, more memorable and more useful to the people hearing
them.

<description><![CDATA[  Team launched in the presence of cricket
legend Kapil Dev; Jain Sports announced as Team Partner as Bangalore Blasters
set ambitious vision for the JPL Season 1

Bengaluru,
12th August 2026: Navrathan Jewellers, owners of the Bangalore
Blasters, on Tuesday unveiled the team ahead of the inaugural JITO
Premier League (JPL) Season 1, marking the beginning of an ambitious
sporting journey that brings together cricket, community, entrepreneurship and
a shared pursuit of excellence.

The
team was launched in the presence of Indian cricket legend Kapil Dev,
who gave the players an inspiring pep talk in his iconic style. The event was
also attended by IPL star Vaishak Vijaykumar, adding further cricketing
pedigree to the launch.

The
inaugural JITO Premier League will be held from 24 August to 5 September
2026 at the CCC Cricket Ground in Colombo, Sri Lanka, with the inaugural
ceremony scheduled for 24 August.

For
Navrathan Jewellers, the Bangalore Blasters is much more than a
participation in a community cricket tournament. The franchise represents the
owners&#039; ambition to build a professionally managed, competitive and
values-driven sporting property that can create a lasting identity within the
JITO ecosystem.

Speaking
on the launch, Mahendar Bafna, Team Owner, Bangalore Blasters, said:
“For Navrathan Jewellers, the Bangalore Blasters is an opportunity to bring our
passion for sport, our commitment to excellence and our belief in community
together on one platform. We have a larger vision for this team than simply
competing in a tournament. We want to build a professionally managed sporting
property that people can identify with, support and be proud of. Our ambition
is to make the Bangalore Blasters one of the most competitive and respected
teams in the JITO Premier League, while representing Bengaluru with pride.”

He
added: “The inaugural season in Colombo is the first step in what we believe
can become a much bigger journey. We want the Blasters to stand for excellence,
professionalism, teamwork and integrity, both on and off the field. We are also
delighted to have Jain Sports as our partner in this journey. Their association
strengthens our vision of creating a meaningful sporting ecosystem around the
team. Having a legend like Kapil Dev at our launch makes this occasion even
more special, and we are equally excited to welcome Vaishak Vijaykumar.”

The
Bangalore Blasters will represent Bengaluru and its community with an
emphasis on professionalism, teamwork, discipline, integrity and excellence.
The franchise&#039;s vision is to use the JPL as a platform to bring together
accomplished professionals, entrepreneurs and cricket enthusiasts while
creating a culture that combines competitive sporting ambition with community
bonding.

Jain
Sports has been announced as a key Partner of the Bangalore Blasters,
bringing its experience and commitment to sports to the team&#039;s journey. The
partnership reflects the shared vision of building a strong sporting ecosystem
and using cricket as a platform to promote participation, performance,
community and the development of sport.

Dr
Chenraj Roychand, founder chairman of Jain Group and Chancellor of Jain
deemed-to-be-University said:

“Sport
has the unique ability to bring people together, create aspirations and build a
culture of excellence. The Bangalore Blasters is an exciting initiative because
it combines that sporting spirit with the larger values of community and
collaboration that JITO represents. At Jain Sports, we are delighted to partner
with the team and support its vision. We believe the Blasters can become a
strong platform for competitive cricket while also inspiring greater
participation in sport and creating meaningful connections within the
community.”

Speaking
as Chief Guest at the launch, Kapil Dev said:

“Cricket has always had the power to bring people
together, and that is what makes initiatives like the JITO Premier League
special. It is not only about winning matches; it is about discipline,
teamwork, friendships and creating a culture of sporting excellence. The
Bangalore Blasters have the opportunity to build something special, it is the
vision of the team and your passion that is important. I wish the team and the entire
JITO Premier League the very best for a successful inaugural season.”

Vicky
Ostwal, Chairman, JITO, said: “It is always exciting
to see new platforms that bring cricket closer to communities and give players
an opportunity to compete, learn and enjoy the game. The Bangalore Blasters has
a strong vision and I am sure the team will bring a competitive mindset to the
JITO Premier League. What makes tournaments like this special is the
combination of cricket, teamwork and the relationships built around the game. I
wish the Bangalore Blasters the very best for their inaugural season.”

The
JITO Premier League is JITO&#039;s flagship community cricket tournament,
bringing together cricket and the values of fitness, discipline,
sportsmanship, brotherhood, networking and community bonding. The inaugural
edition in Colombo is expected to bring together cricketing talent and members
of the JITO community in a celebration of sport and camaraderie.

For
the Bangalore Blasters, the tournament is also an opportunity to demonstrate
that community sport can be driven with the same professionalism, preparation
and competitive intensity associated with elite sport.

The
team&#039;s partnership with Jain Sports further strengthens this approach,
bringing together the ownership vision of Navrathan Jewellers and the sporting
expertise and ecosystem of Jain Sports.

The
launch also marks the beginning of a broader ambition for the Bangalore
Blasters — to create a team that is not defined only by its results, but by the
culture it builds, the community it represents and the sporting aspirations it
inspires.

With
the inaugural JITO Premier League commencing on 24 August 2026, the
Bangalore Blasters will now travel to Colombo determined to make a strong first
impression and lay the foundation for a long-term sporting journey.

India&#039;s
pioneering hotel art fair returns on August 22 and 23 with 21 immersive gallery
spaces, a tribute to K. G. Subramanyan, the launch of &#039;Artist in Focus&#039;, and an
exciting line up of leading galleries, artists and brands

New
Delhi, 2026: ARTIX, India&#039;s pioneering hotel art fair, returns with its
fifth edition on August 22 and 23, 2026, at The Claridges, New Delhi.
Bringing together leading galleries, artists, designers, jewellers and
creative brands, this year&#039;s edition will transform 21 hotel rooms into
immersive exhibition spaces, offering visitors an intimate way to
experience art beyond the traditional gallery format.

ARTIX
5.0 will feature a distinguished line up of
participants including Lotus Arts de Vivre, 108 Art Projects, Golf Green
Gallery, Aura Art Gallery, Gallery Vision Art, Jagat Jewels, Arushi Arts,
Taranaksh, Bharati Shah, Aanchal Garg and Art &amp; You, with more
participants to be announced in the coming weeks.

One
of the key highlights of this year’s edition will be a special showcase celebrating
the life and legacy of K. G. Subramanyan, one of India’s most influential
modern artists, educators and thinkers. Bringing together a focused
presentation of his works, the showcase will offer visitors a closer look at
his distinctive visual language and the enduring influence of his practice.

5.0 will also introduce &#039;Artist in Focus&#039;,
a new initiative dedicated to supporting emerging artists. The platform will

international hotel art fairs, it transforms hotel rooms into curated
exhibition spaces, allowing every participant to create a unique environment
that reflects their artistic vision while encouraging closer interaction
between artists, galleries and audiences.

Since
its debut in 2023, ARTIX has grown into one of India&#039;s most distinctive
multidisciplinary art platforms, bringing together art, design, jewellery,
textiles, fashion and craft through editions in New Delhi and Hyderabad.
The fair has created a unique space where established names and emerging voices
come together, reflecting the evolving landscape of India&#039;s creative
industries.

Alongside
the exhibitions, ARTIX 5.0 will host a curated programme of panel
discussions, artist talks and guided walkthroughs, bringing together
artists, collectors, gallerists and industry experts to explore conversations
around contemporary art, collecting, design and culture.

Speaking
about the fifth edition, the founders of ARTIX said,

&quot;As
ARTIX enters its fifth edition, our vision remains the same to create a
platform where art can be experienced in a more personal and engaging way.
Every edition has helped build a growing community of artists, galleries,
collectors and audiences, and this year we are excited to introduce new
initiatives that celebrate both artistic legacy and emerging talent while
continuing to expand conversations around contemporary creative
practices.&quot;

ARTIX
5.0 will take place on August 22 and 23, 2026, at The Claridges, New Delhi.

<title>ForthFocus Founder V Gautham Navada Joins WordCamp Bengaluru 2026 Organizing Team</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Kundapura,
Karnataka: V Gautham Navada, Founder and Director of
ForthFocus, has joined the organizing team of WordCamp Bengaluru 2026,
marking another milestone in a WordPress journey that began in 2011.

WordCamp
Bengaluru 2026 will be held on November 21 and 22, 2026, at St. Joseph’s
Boys’ High School, Museum Road, Bengaluru. The community-run, not-for-profit
event is being organized entirely by volunteers and is expected to bring
together around 400 participants from the WordPress and open web
ecosystem.

Navada is
part of the 16-member organizing team behind the 2026 edition. His involvement
follows his role on the Sponsor Team of WordCamp Asia 2026, held in
Mumbai earlier this year. While the two events differ in scale, the progression
reflects his continued involvement in the WordPress community, from
contributing to a major regional event to helping organize a community
gathering closer home in Karnataka.

A WordPress journey that began in 2011

Navada
first began exploring WordPress through blogging in 2011. His interest in web
publishing gradually developed into freelance web development and later
entrepreneurship.

In 2015, he
founded ForthFocus, a digital solutions company based in Kundapura,
Karnataka.

The company
has since grown to serve more than 350 clients across eight countries,
working across WordPress, WooCommerce, eCommerce, business websites and custom
digital solutions.

Alongside
building ForthFocus, Navada has remained active in the WordPress ecosystem
through community participation, speaking, organizing, and open source
contribution.

What began
as using WordPress for publishing eventually evolved into building professionally
with the platform and contributing time and experience back to the community
around it.

Regularly invited speaker at technology and business
forums

Navada is
also a regularly invited speaker at WordCamps, educational institutions,
technology events, and industry forums.

His
sessions have covered subjects including WordPress, digital privacy, remote
team management, entrepreneurship, sustainable business and long-term digital
growth.

His
speaking engagements draw from more than a decade of experience in technology,
entrepreneurship and managing distributed teams, often exploring the
intersection of technology, people and business rather than technology in
isolation.

Travel and Millennial Duo

Outside
technology, Navada is an avid traveller. Together with his wife, Mrs. Keerthi
Prabhu, a software testing professional, he runs Millennial Duo® (https://millennialduo.com), where the couple documents their travel
experiences and practical destination insights.

They have
travelled to 15 countries and counting and have also shared a WordCamp
stage together, combining perspectives from web development and software
testing.

WordCamp Bengaluru 2026 to bring together around 400
participants

WordCamp
Bengaluru 2026 is positioned as Bengaluru’s own gathering for people who use,
build and contribute around WordPress and the open web.

The event
will feature two tracks and a Contributor Day, bringing together
developers, designers, founders, agencies, content creators, students,
educators and open source contributors.

The two day
programme will include talks, discussions, practical sessions and opportunities
for attendees to contribute directly to the WordPress open source project.

With
approximately 400 participants expected, the event aims to create a platform
for learning, collaboration and strengthening connections across Bengaluru and
India’s WordPress community.

For Navada,
becoming part of the organizing team represents another opportunity to
contribute to an ecosystem closely connected with his professional journey.

“WordPress
played an important role in shaping my professional journey. Contributing time
and experience back to the community is a natural continuation of that
relationship,” said V Gautham Navada.

His
involvement in WordCamp Asia and WordCamp Bengaluru during the same year
reflects a journey that has evolved from discovering WordPress as a blogger, to
building a digital business around the web, speaking at community events and
now helping organize WordCamps at both regional and local levels.

<title>THE MOUNTAINS WITHIN: WHAT NIMSDAI TAUGHT US ABOUT BENDING LIMITS | BY KARISHMA</title>

<description><![CDATA[ “Giving
up is not in the blood, sir. It&#039;s not in the blood”. 

Nirmal
“Nimsdai” Purja 

The
world recently lost a true hero, Nirmal “Nimsdai” Purja, the legendary
mountaineer known worldwide from his famous story, 14 Peaks: Nothing Is
Impossible. Nimsdai did not just climb mountains but he changed what people
thought a human being could do. He climbed the 14 highest mountains in the
world in just six months and six days, a record experts swore was completely
impossible.

Recently,
Nimsdai’s legendary journey ended on the mountains he loved so deeply. But a
life lived so bravely leaves behind a blueprint for all of us.

As
parents and grandparents, when we look at someone with so much courage, the
question arises: What can our children learn from a climber of giants?
How do his lessons from the ice and snow help our kids navigate the big
feelings and tough days down here? 

Here
are five beautiful lessons Nimsdai left for our children: 


 “When you feel like you are broken, you are only 45 percent
     done”.


When
Nimsdai was climbing, his body would hurt, the cold would bite, and exhaustion
would creep in. Yet, he taught a powerful mental trick: When your mind tells
you that you are completely out of energy and want to quit, you actually still
have more than half your strength left.

For
our kids who often want to give up the moment something feels too hard whether
it is a tough school project or a complex game. This teaches them that being
tired is just a feeling, not a stop sign. When we think we have nothing left,
we are actually much stronger than we know.


 A Smile can be your strongest tool 


If
you watch 14 peaks you will notice something amazing. No matter how freezing it
got, or how dangerous the climb was, Nimsdai was always smiling, joking, and
even dancing at Base Camp with his team because he knew that panic drains your
energy while joy gives you strength. This is a wonderful reminder for our
children that when things get hard, a heavy, angry heart only makes the climb
tougher, whereas keeping a positive mind and laughing with friends can give us
the magic push we need.


 True Strength means turning back to help others 


Even
though Nimsdai was racing against time to break world records, whenever he saw
a fellow climber struggling or stuck in danger on the ice, he stopped, sharing
his own oxygen and risking his big goals to save them because winning meant
nothing if no one was left standing beside him. 

Through
this, our kids learn that being the “best” is never just about winning a
trophy, true heroes are the ones who look back and lift a friend when the trail
gets steep, and kindness and courage go hand in hand.


 The Mountain doesn&#039;t care who you are 


Nimsdai
famously said that nature doesn&#039;t care about your frame, your money, or how
important you think you are. The mountain treats everyone the exact same way.
If you are arrogant, the mountain will humble you. You have to respect the
rules, stay calm, and stay grounded.

This
teaches our children that life will always throw tests at us that do not care
how smart or special we feel, and while pride makes us careless, humility keeps
us safe, grounded, and always ready to learn.


 You can&#039;t stop the storm, but you can choose how to stand 


High
up in the “death zone”. The weather changes in seconds. Heavy winds and
whiteouts strike without warning. Days before his final climbs, Nimsdai shared
a gentle reminder: “I take zero mountains for granted. Not one”.

He
respected the scary power of nature, but trusted his own heart to weather the
storm which teaches our children that while we cannot stop bad days, meltdowns,
or sudden disappointments from happening, they can learn to pause, take a deep
breath, and tell themselves, “ I can handle this storm”.

An
Inspiration that Never fades 

Nimsdai’s
physical journey ended where his heart always lived among the tallest, most
beautiful peaks in the world. Though he is gone, his spirit stays behind like a
shining star to light the way for anyone who dares to dream big.

He
leaves behind a simple, unbreakable truth for our children to hold onto
forever:The highest mountains in life are not conquered by running away
from hard things, but by finding the extraordinary strength hidden inside
yourself to reach the top. 

Rest
in peace, Nimsdai. Thank you for showing us how to touch the sky.

<title>From Perfect Ads to Real Stories: Why Authentic Storytelling Is Changing Brand Videos</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-perfect-ads-to-real-stories-why-authentic-storytelling-is-changing-brand-videos</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-perfect-ads-to-real-stories-why-authentic-storytelling-is-changing-brand-videos</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Pune: Audiences today have become increasingly
difficult to impress and perhaps even more difficult to convince.

They have grown up watching films, streaming shows, creators,
reels and behind-the-scenes content that feel immediate, personal and real.
Highly polished advertising still has its place, but audiences are increasingly
drawn towards stories that feel human rather than manufactured.

That shift is changing the way brands approach video.

For Motion Canvas,
a Pune-based video production company working across real estate,
manufacturing, FMCG, hospitality and healthcare, the future of brand
communication lies somewhere between cinematic production and authentic
storytelling.

The idea is simple: brands don&#039;t always need to look
perfect. They need to feel real.

The End of the &quot;Perfect Corporate Video&quot;

For years, corporate videos followed a familiar formula,
carefully written scripts, perfectly positioned executives, polished voiceovers
and predictable shots of offices, factories and products.

But audiences today can recognise advertising almost
instantly.

They are exposed to an enormous amount of professionally
produced content every day. At the same time, social media has created an
appetite for spontaneous moments, genuine conversations, behind-the-scenes
footage and stories that don&#039;t feel overly rehearsed.

This has created a new challenge for brands.

How do you maintain production quality without losing
authenticity?

Motion Canvas believes the answer lies not in making content
less sophisticated, but in making the storytelling more human.

“People don&#039;t connect with a brand because everything looks
perfect. They connect when something feels genuine,” says Kshitij Kulkarni,
Director, Motion Canvas.

“Technology and production quality can make a film visually
impressive, but the story, emotion and authenticity are what make people
remember it.”

Storytelling That Doesn&#039;t Feel Like Advertising

The changing audience behaviour is particularly relevant for
businesses entering the digital content ecosystem.

A real estate developer, for example, is no longer
communicating only through brochures and newspaper advertisements. Its audience
may first discover a project through a short video, a creator-led walkthrough,
a cinematic project film or an Instagram reel.

Similarly, an FMCG consumer may see a product through a
digital advertisement before encountering it on a supermarket shelf.

The opportunity is to make these interactions feel less like
interruptions and more like stories worth watching.

Motion Canvas develops
brand films, corporate videos, TVCs, DVCs, CGI content and digital videos with this
philosophy in mind.

The objective isn&#039;t simply to showcase a product or company.

It is to find the human story behind it.

Real Estate Is Selling More Than Buildings

Real estate is a good example of how storytelling can change
perception.

A property can be photographed beautifully, but photographs
alone may not communicate the experience of living there.

A cinematic real estate film can capture the morning light
entering a home, children playing, the energy of a neighbourhood, the
architecture, the people and the small details that make a place feel like
home.

For premium developments, the story is often less about
square footage and more about aspiration, lifestyle and belonging.

Motion Canvas works with real estate brands to bring these
elements together through project films, developer films, architectural videos,
CGI visualisation and digital campaigns.

The intention is to make the audience imagine the experience
rather than simply observe the property.

Finding Stories Inside Manufacturing

Manufacturing may seem like an industry built around
machines, processes and numbers.

But behind every factory are people, ideas and years of
expertise.

The engineer solving a complex problem. The employee
operating a machine with precision. The entrepreneur who built the company from
scratch. The technology that transformed a production process.

These are stories.

Motion Canvas creates manufacturing and industrial videos
that can showcase technology and capabilities while bringing the people and
thinking behind the business into the narrative.

This human layer can make even highly technical B2B
communication easier to understand and more memorable.

FMCG and the Fight for Attention

For FMCG brands, authenticity has become particularly
important.

Consumers don&#039;t simply encounter brands through traditional
advertisements anymore. They see products through creators, reviews, social
media conversations, demonstrations, short-form videos and everyday experiences.

The most effective content often doesn&#039;t feel like an
advertisement at first glance.

It feels like entertainment, information or a story.

Motion Canvas works with FMCG brands on product films,
digital campaigns, social media content and advertising, creating visual assets
that can adapt across platforms.

The objective is to capture attention quickly without losing
the personality of the brand.

Hospitality Is About Feeling, Not Just Seeing

Hospitality has always been an emotional business.

A hotel doesn&#039;t simply sell a room. A resort doesn&#039;t simply
sell a swimming pool.

It sells a feeling.

The anticipation of a holiday. The quietness of a weekend
away. A meal shared with family. A sunset at a resort. The feeling of entering
a beautiful space after a long journey.

Video can communicate these moments in a way that static
communication often cannot.

Motion Canvas creates hospitality films, resort videos, food
and beverage content, destination films and digital campaigns designed to
communicate the experience behind the property.

The emphasis is on making audiences feel like they are
already there.

Healthcare Needs Authenticity More Than Hype

Healthcare requires a different kind of storytelling.

Hospitals and healthcare brands cannot rely on exaggerated
claims or overly dramatic communication. Trust is fundamental.

Patients want to see the people behind the institution —
doctors, nurses, specialists and support teams — as well as the technology and
infrastructure.

Motion Canvas works on healthcare corporate films, doctor
profiles, facility videos, awareness campaigns and patient-focused content that
combines professional credibility with human stories.

Here, authenticity isn&#039;t simply a creative choice.

It is essential to communication.

The New Relationship Between Brands and Audiences

The larger change is happening beyond individual industries.

The traditional boundary between advertising and
entertainment is disappearing.

Brands are increasingly becoming content creators.

And audiences are increasingly deciding which stories
deserve their attention.

This is creating a new role for production companies.

The job is no longer simply to arrange a shoot, operate
cameras and deliver an edit.

It is to understand the audience, discover the story and determine
how that story should be told across different platforms.

Motion Canvas combines video production with creative
development, CGI, branding and digital communication to help brands build this
broader visual ecosystem.

“Production is only one part of the equation. The real value
comes when the content continues to work for the brand after the shoot is
over,” Kshitij Kulkarni says.

The Future May Belong to Stories That Feel Real

The next generation of brand communication may not
necessarily be defined by bigger sets, bigger celebrities or bigger production
budgets.

It may be defined by better stories.

Stories that reveal rather than exaggerate.

Stories that show people rather than simply products.

Stories that acknowledge imperfections instead of hiding them.

And stories that give audiences a reason to stop scrolling.

For Motion Canvas,
this represents an opportunity to bring the craft of filmmaking into a world
where authenticity is becoming one of the most valuable creative currencies.

Whether it is a home waiting for its first family, an
engineer building something extraordinary, a consumer discovering a new
product, a traveller experiencing a destination or a doctor changing someone&#039;s
life, every business has stories that can connect with people.

The challenge is finding them.

And telling them honestly.

Because in an age where almost everything can be produced,
edited and polished, the stories that feel real may ultimately be the
ones people remember.

<title>&amp;apos;Don’t Give Divyang Athletes Donations — Give Them Sponsorships&amp;apos;: Aushim Khetarpal</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/dont-give-divyang-athletes-donations-give-them-sponsorships-aushim-khetarpal</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/dont-give-divyang-athletes-donations-give-them-sponsorships-aushim-khetarpal</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Aushim Khetarpal with Divyang athletesAgra (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 11: The Divyang Cricket Board of India organised a grand Cricketers &amp; Athletes Awards Ceremony in Agra, celebrating the extraordinary achievements, determination and sporting spirit of Divyang and para-athletes from across the country.The prestigious event was graced by Aushim Khetarpal, Head of the Shirdi Sai Baba Foundation, a well-known spiritual leader in India and internationally, as the Chief Guest, along with Smt. Meenakashi Lekhi, who joined the celebrations and felicitated the remarkable sporting talent present at the ceremony.The event brought together athletes representing different categories, including blind and differently abled cricketers and para-athletes, who were recognised for their achievements, commitment and contribution to Indian sport.“DON’T GIVE THEM DONATIONS. GIVE THEM SPONSORSHIPS.”The highlight of the evening was an impassioned and memorable address by Aushim Khetarpal, which received enthusiastic applause from the audience.Speaking about the Divyang athletes, Aushim Khetarpal said that society should not look at disability through the lens of pity or charity.He described the athletes present at the ceremony as an inspiration to the entire country, particularly at a time when people are increasingly conscious of fitness, physical strength and healthy living.He observed that many of these athletes have overcome extraordinary physical challenges and have nevertheless chosen the path of sport, discipline and determination.Their strength and achievements, he said, should inspire every individual to remain fit, active and mentally strong.The defining moment of his speech came when he made a direct appeal to sponsors and corporate India:“Do not give these cricketers and para-athletes donations. Give them sponsorships.”Explaining his position, Aushim Khetarpal said that treating accomplished athletes as recipients of charity can unintentionally undermine their confidence and dignity.“By giving them donations, you are just making them feel weak. Give them sponsorship. Give them an opportunity. Let them stand on their own strength and earn through their talent.”The statement was met with loud applause across the hall, with the audience strongly responding to his call for a change in the way Divyang athletes are supported.His message was clear: Divyang athletes do not need pity; they need platforms, opportunities, professional recognition and equal sporting opportunities.ATHLETES HONOURED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTSDuring the ceremony, awards were presented to several outstanding athletes and cricketers who have demonstrated exceptional courage and sporting excellence.The awardees represented the immense diversity and talent within India&#039;s para-sports movement, including athletes from the blind and other Divyang categories.The ceremony recognised not merely their sporting performances but also the discipline, resilience and determination that brought them to the sporting arena.Aushim Khetarpal and Smt. Meenakashi Lekhi congratulated the award winners and encouraged them to continue pursuing excellence and becoming role models for the younger generation.A NEW APPROACH TO DIVYANG SPORTThe Agra event also highlighted the need for a fundamental change in the way society and institutions support Divyang sport. The Divyang Cricket Board of India emphasised that sponsorship should be viewed as an investment in sporting talent rather than charity. Supporting Divyang athletes is not only about providing financial assistance but also about creating opportunities for them to compete, grow and build sustainable sporting careers.Corporate houses, institutions and individuals were encouraged to support athletes through professional sponsorships, equipment and training support, tournament sponsorship, travel and accommodation assistance, sports scholarships, media and promotional opportunities, and employment and professional opportunities. Such support can give athletes the confidence, independence and resources they need to pursue their sporting ambitions and compete at higher levels. ]]></description>

<title>Nine Days Out, HIMTEX 2026 Exhibitor List Locks In at 350&#45;Plus</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/nine-days-out-himtex-2026-exhibitor-list-locks-in-at-350-plus</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/nine-days-out-himtex-2026-exhibitor-list-locks-in-at-350-plus</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad,
11 August 2026: Stall allotments for the 9th edition of the
Hyderabad International Machine Tool &amp; Engineering Expo (HIMTEX 2026)
are now settled, with organisers confirming 350+ exhibitors and 1,000+
live machines for the show, which runs 20–24 August at the HITEX
Exhibition Centre, Hyderabad. At 18,500 sqm, this is the largest edition
HIMTEX has staged so far.

What
stands out this year is where the exhibitors are coming from. Companies are
travelling in from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu,
Maharashtra, Gujarat and Punjab, a spread that organisers say shows how far
HIMTEX has grown beyond a Hyderabad-only event.

Mr.
Vinoth Sasidharan, Project Head, HIMTEX, put
it simply: “The evolution of HIMTEX—from a regional exhibition to an event that
industry stakeholders deliberately plan to attend—is a clear indicator that we
are building something with real industry value.”

The
exhibitor mix is broad this year. CNC machining centres, VMCs, HMCs, sheet
metal and forming presses, cutting tools, welding equipment, robotics, and
material handling all feature, alongside a growing number of companies working
in industrial software and connected manufacturing.

That
last group ties into one of the biggest draws on this year&#039;s show floor: DiFact
– the Digital Factory &amp; Connected Technologies Pavilion. Built around
the Digital Factory Experience Zone (DFEZ), developed with Knowledge
Partner Automation Industry Association (AIA), the pavilion will run
live demonstrations of turning and milling operations, CMM inspection,
AMR-based material movement, cobot-assisted handling, and machine monitoring
dashboards through the week. It is built to be walked through and seen working,
rather than just read about on a brochure.

“MSMEs
hear the words ‘Industry 4.0’ all the time, but seeing it actually running on a
shop floor is still rare for most of them,” said Mr. Kuna Shankar, Director,
HITEX. “That is exactly what DFEZ is built to show. We would rather let
people see it running.”

Several
exhibitors who confirmed their participation this week said scale was the main
reason. A single large show tends to bring stronger footfall than several
smaller regional ones, and HIMTEX&#039;s growing reach across states came up often
as the reason for signing up.

HIMTEX
2026 continues to be backed by the Ministry of Micro, Small &amp; Medium
Enterprises (MSME) and the Machine Tool Manufacturers&#039; Association,
Rajkot, along with its Diamond, Gold and Silver partners.

Business
visitor registration is open now at www.himtex.in. Entry is free for
registered visitors aged 18 and above.

The
Hyderabad International Machine Tool &amp; Engineering Expo (HIMTEX) is the
flagship biennial exhibition dedicated to machine tools, manufacturing
technologies, industrial automation, and engineering solutions. Bringing
together leading manufacturers, technology providers, buyers, and industry
professionals, HIMTEX serves as a catalyst for innovation, collaboration, and
business growth while supporting the advancement of India&#039;s manufacturing
sector. ]]></description>

<title>FSFTI President Dr Anshu Kataria Urges UGC, AICTE to Extend Admission Deadline to October 30th</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/fsfti-president-dr-anshu-kataria-urges-ugc-aicte-to-extend-admission-deadline-to-october-30th</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/fsfti-president-dr-anshu-kataria-urges-ugc-aicte-to-extend-admission-deadline-to-october-30th</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ August 2026 : The
Federation of Self-Financing Technical Institutions (FSFTI) has urged the University
Grants Commission (UGC), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE),
Ministry of Education and other regulatory authorities to extend the admission
deadline for technical and professional courses from August 14 to October 30th,
2026.

 

While
the current admission deadline for UGC and AICTE-regulated courses is August
14, the Pharmacy Council of India has allowed admissions until September 15,
2026.

 

Dr.
Anshu Kataria, President, FSFTI and Punjab Unaided Colleges Association (PUCA),
and Chairman, Aryans Group of Colleges, said the admission session has been
disrupted by uncertainty surrounding NEET, examination-related controversies,
re-examinations, delayed results and prolonged counselling. Many students
waited for medical and healthcare counselling before considering engineering,
pharmacy, management, allied healthcare and other professional programmes,
leaving them with little time to make informed career decisions.

 

Dr.
Kataria said students seeking admission to allied and healthcare programmes
have been particularly affected by frequent changes, directions and
clarifications under the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare
Professions (NCAHP) framework. Uncertainty over eligibility, entrance
requirements, course nomenclature, sanctioned intake, institutional recognition
and the regulatory status of colleges has caused confusion among students,
parents and institutions.

 

Kataria
added that delays in Polytechnic results and CBSE Class XII re-evaluation
results have also affected students, including those seeking lateral-entry
admission in engineering and other technical programmes. ITI examinations have
only recently concluded, the results are not expected before 14th August,
students aspiring to take admission into Polytechnic through LEET will not be
able to complete their admission process within the existing AICTE admission
timeline, he mentioned.

 

Adv.
Amit Sharma, Senior Vice President, PUCA, said several NCAHP provisions and
norms have neither been implemented uniformly nor communicated clearly. The
absence of a fully functional and transparent mechanism has made it difficult
for students to identify duly recognized courses and institutions.

 

Dr.
K.V.K. Rao, General Secretary, FSFTI, said floods related disruptions in Assam,
Odisha, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and other states have further affected
admissions. Displacement, damaged road and internet connectivity, financial
hardship and difficulties in obtaining academic documents have prevented many
students from completing counselling, travelling to institutions and finalizing
admissions.

 

PUCA
members S. Manjit Singh, S. Gurmeet Singh Dhaliwal, Ashwani Garg, Ashok Garg,
Mohit Mahajan, S. Gurkirat Singh, S. Gurpreet Singh and H.S. Kanda have urged
UGC, AICTE, the Ministry of Education and other concerned authorities to extend
the deadline to October 30th, 2026, so that deserving students are not deprived
of higher education opportunities due to circumstances beyond their control.

 

It
is to be mentioned that on PUCA petitions in Supreme Court, admission deadlines
for technical courses were extended to October 30 in 2025, October 23 in 2024
and October 30 in 2023. In 2022, admissions were allowed until October 25 for
first-year courses and October 30 for lateral-entry programmes.

<title>iNvent Rolls Out 24&#45;Month No&#45;Cost EMI on Apple Devices Ahead of Independence Day</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

‘Freedom
to Upgrade’ combines extended No-Cost EMI, exchange benefits and special
savings across iPhone, MacBook and iPad

New
Delhi, August 2026: Ahead of Independence Day, premium Apple
partner iNvent has announced ‘Freedom to Upgrade’, a consumer initiative that
makes upgrading to select Apple devices easier through 24-month No-Cost EMI,
exchange bonus of up to INR 12,000 and special savings across iPhone, MacBook
and iPad.

The
initiative is aimed at making technology upgrades easier to plan by reducing
the upfront financial commitment typically associated with premium devices. By
bringing together extended payment flexibility and additional value on
exchange, iNvent is giving consumers more flexibility to decide when and how
they move to their next device.

Under
the Freedom Deals, customers can upgrade to an iPhone with monthly payments
starting from INR 2,371, depending on the model and applicable offer. For
instance, the iPhone 17 is available from INR 3,412 per month under the
applicable offer. Customers can also avail an exchange bonus of up to INR
12,000 on eligible devices, further bringing down the effective cost of
upgrading.

The
Independence Day proposition also extends across MacBook and iPad. Eligible
MacBook models are available with 8% discount and cashback of up to INR 15,000,
while eligible iPad models carry 5% discount with cashback of up to INR 6,000.
Special student and education benefits are also available on select MacBook and
iPad models for eligible customers.

Swarn
Bajaj, Founder, P3S Ventures Pvt. Ltd. said, “For
many consumers today, the decision to upgrade is not simply about the price of
a device; it is about whether that purchase fits comfortably into their monthly
spending. With Freedom to Upgrade, we wanted to make that decision simpler. By
combining 24-month payment flexibility with exchange benefits and meaningful
savings, consumers have greater choice in deciding when and how they move to
their next Apple device.”

As
premium technology becomes increasingly integral to how consumers work,
communicate and access entertainment, the decision to upgrade is also becoming
more considered. Price remains important, but so does the flexibility to manage
the purchase in a way that works for individual budgets.

Through
Freedom to Upgrade, iNvent is looking to address this by combining product
choice, exchange value, payment flexibility and in-store guidance, particularly
for consumers who may have been considering an Apple upgrade but were hesitant
about the upfront spend.

The
Freedom Deals will be available across participating iNvent stores for a
limited period, subject to product availability and applicable bank and offer
terms. ]]></description>

<title>iTokri Opens Its Largest Rakhi Season Yet: 2,300+ Handmade Rakhis, 20+ Artisan Groups, and a Range Built to Outlive the Festival</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/itokri-opens-its-largest-rakhi-season-yet-2300-handmade-rakhis-20-artisan-groups-and-a-range-built-to-outlive-the-festival</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/itokri-opens-its-largest-rakhi-season-yet-2300-handmade-rakhis-20-artisan-groups-and-a-range-built-to-outlive-the-festival</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Raksha
Bandhan lands late this year, on 28 August. The Gwalior-based handmade platform
leads with reusable rakhis, Dokra brass to blue pottery to crochet, each sold
by the name of its craft and shipped worldwide.

Gwalior,
India, August 2026 : Raksha Bandhan falls on Friday, 28 August
this year, nearly three weeks later than last year, because the Hindu lunar
calendar carried an extra month. iTokri.com,
India&#039;s largest curated direct-to-consumer platform for handmade textiles and
handicrafts, enters the longer window with the largest Rakhi range in its
history: more than 2,300 handmade rakhis in stock as of this week, made in
small batches by more than 20 named artisan groups and clusters across India,
with list prices from Rs 180 for a plantable seed rakhi to about Rs 1,350 for
premium copper-enamel and Meenakari sets.

Every
rakhi on the platform is sold by the name of its craft: Patwa threadwork from
Rajasthan, Dokra brass from Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal, Jaipur blue pottery
beads, Bishnupur handpainted fabric, chikankari and tribal hand embroidery,
crochet, beadwork, bamboo, upcycled handloom weave, and plantable seed rakhis
that go into the soil after the festival. Every product page names the group
that made it, among them Samoolam, Ekibeki, Miharu, Khamir, Kamli, Neeli Titlee
and Vishnu Kumar Patwa.

The
centre of the 2026 range is a bet the company first tested last year: reusable
rakhis that live on after the festival, a felt toy a child keeps, a Dokra brass
or copper-enamel keepsake, pieces that can be turned into a keychain or fridge
magnet, and potlis and wooden doll boxes built for a second life. The 2025
trial collection sold well, so 2026 scaled it into the main range. In-stock
examples include a Reusable Tribal Dokra Brass Rakhi with a Banaras wood doll
box by Miharu at Rs 590, a Reusable Copper Enamel Rakhi with potli by Ekibeki
at Rs 850 to Rs 1,350, a Reusable Crochet Kids Rakhi by Samoolam at Rs 490, and
a Patwa Threadwork Blue Pottery Beads Rakhi with potli by Vishnu Kumar Patwa at
Rs 390.

&quot;The
Rakhi market is huge and we are a small player in it, and that is fine, because
nobody assembles what we assemble. This is India&#039;s largest curation of handmade
rakhis: small batches from artisan groups across the country, sold by the name
of the craft,&quot; said Nitin Pamnani, co-founder, iTokri.com. &quot;On iTokri
you do not buy a generic designer rakhi. You buy a Patwa threadwork rakhi or a
Dokra brass rakhi, and the group that made it is named right on the page. The
artisan is the designer.&quot;

Rakhi
is iTokri&#039;s oldest proven seasonal engine. The company has run the window every
year since 2019 and has repeated it as a win since 2022; the range has grown
roughly five to seven times over from those early years. August is now iTokri&#039;s
single biggest month of the year by order volume, and the Rakhi window brought
the platform more than 5,000 first-time customers in August 2024 alone.
International orders also peak in August, with the United States, the United
Kingdom and Canada the platform&#039;s largest overseas Rakhi markets. The whole
season runs, as everything at iTokri has since 2012, without a single price
cut.

&quot;A
rakhi should not become waste on the second day of September. Last year we
tried a small reusable collection and it took off, so this year the biggest
share of the new range is built to be kept: a felt toy a child holds on to, a
brass or copper-enamel keepsake, potlis and little wooden boxes that get a
second life,&quot; Pamnani added. &quot;Raksha Bandhan is late this year, on 28
August. Use the extra weeks to send something that lasts.&quot;

The
collection is live at itokri.com/collections/send-rakhi.
The company advises ordering by around 22 August within India and by around 15
August for the UAE, Singapore and Malaysia; the advised date for the United
States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia has just passed, so buyers there
should order immediately and check the tracked-delivery estimate at checkout.
Every order ships from Gwalior with a handwritten note.

About
iTokri.com

iTokri.com
is India&#039;s largest curated D2C platform for authentic handmade textiles and
handicrafts. Founded in 2012 by Nitin and Jia Pamnani in Gwalior, the platform
works directly with 10,000+ artisan-creators across 500+ craft clusters,
listing 100,000+ products spanning handwoven fabrics, block-printed textiles,
sarees, dupattas, stoles, home textiles, and craft supplies. iTokri ships to
125+ countries and adds 500+ new products daily. The artisan is the designer.

<title>In Nalkheda, Acharya Pandit Deepak Sharma Ji Continues the Sacred Tradition of Maa Baglamukhi Havan for Devotees Worldwide</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/in-nalkheda-acharya-pandit-deepak-sharma-ji-continues-the-sacred-tradition-of-maa-baglamukhi-havan-for-devotees-worldwide</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/in-nalkheda-acharya-pandit-deepak-sharma-ji-continues-the-sacred-tradition-of-maa-baglamukhi-havan-for-devotees-worldwide</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As
modern life becomes increasingly demanding, many people continue to find
strength in traditions that have guided generations before them. Whether
someone is beginning a new chapter, navigating uncertainty, or simply seeking
spiritual peace, prayer remains an important part of that journey. Among the
most revered forms of Shakti worship is Maa Baglamukhi Havan and
Anushthan, a sacred practice that devotees believe
helps them pray with focus, faith, and purpose.

At
the renowned Maa Baglamukhi Temple in Nalkheda, Madhya Pradesh, Acharya
Pandit Deepak Sharma Ji has dedicated more than 15 years to helping devotees
perform these traditional rituals with authenticity and devotion. From Havan
and Anushthan to mantra jaap and specialised pujas, his services are available
to devotees across India and abroad who wish to undertake worship with a
meaningful sankalp.

The
Enduring Significance of Maa Baglamukhi Worship

Maa
Baglamukhi, one of the ten Mahavidyas, is revered as the goddess of strength,
protection, wisdom, and spiritual stability. Also known as Pitambara Devi,
she is worshipped by devotees who seek courage during challenging times and
wish to cultivate clarity and confidence through prayer.

Unlike
everyday worship, Maa Baglamukhi rituals follow a structured Vedic tradition.
They involve sacred mantras, offerings, fire rituals, and a deeply personal
intention known as sankalp. While these ceremonies may appear complex to
first-time devotees, they become far more meaningful when performed under
proper guidance.

For
Acharya Pandit Deepak Sharma Ji, every ritual is more than a religious
ceremony—it is a spiritual experience rooted in devotion, discipline, and
tradition.

Every
Devotee Arrives With a Different Prayer

No
two people approach Maa Baglamukhi worship for the same reason.

A
young professional may pray for confidence before an important career
opportunity. An entrepreneur may seek blessings while expanding a business.
Families often perform pujas for harmony, while others simply wish to express
gratitude and deepen their spiritual connection with the divine.

This
is why sankalp forms the foundation of every Havan and Anushthan.

Before
the ritual begins, the devotee&#039;s name, gotra (where known), place of residence,
and purpose of the worship are included in the sankalp. Rather than offering a
one-size-fits-all ceremony, Acharya Pandit Deepak Sharma Ji takes time to
understand each devotee&#039;s intention and guides them toward the most appropriate
form of worship.

That
personal interaction makes the ritual more meaningful and helps devotees
understand not only how the puja is performed, but why it is
performed.

Traditional
Havan and Anushthan With Authentic Guidance

Among
the most sought-after services at Nalkheda are Maa Baglamukhi Havan and Maa
Baglamukhi Anushthan.

A
Havan is a sacred fire ritual where mantras are recited while offerings are
made into the holy fire. The ceremony combines sankalp, mantra jaap, ahuti, and
traditional Vedic procedures to create a deeply devotional experience.

Anushthan,
on the other hand, is a more intensive spiritual practice. It involves
disciplined mantra recitation, prescribed rituals, and a longer period of
devotional observance. Many devotees choose an Anushthan when they wish to
dedicate focused time to prayer and spiritual growth.

For
those performing these rituals for the first time, Acharya Pandit Deepak Sharma
Ji explains the process in simple terms and ensures that every ceremony follows
traditional scriptures while remaining accessible to modern devotees.

Special
Puja for Political Success and Raj Karya

One
of the unique services offered is the Maa Baglamukhi Rajneetik Vijay Mahavishesh Puja,
performed for individuals associated with politics, public life,
administration, and leadership responsibilities.

This
specialised worship includes the sacred Brahmastra and Khadga Mala
traditions and is conducted with a focused sankalp for confidence, stability,
favourable circumstances, and success in important public responsibilities.
Many devotees undertaking elections, administrative roles, or significant
public initiatives seek Maa Baglamukhi&#039;s blessings through this traditional
Mahavishesh Puja.

Rituals
Designed Around Different Spiritual Needs

Maa
Baglamukhi worship has evolved over centuries to include rituals for different
life situations, allowing devotees to choose a form of worship that reflects
their personal prayer.

Acharya
Pandit Deepak Sharma Ji offers a range of traditional Maa Baglamukhi rituals,
including Havan and Anushthan, Court Case Havan, Job and Career Havan,
Vyapar Vriddhi Havan, Sarva Badha Nivaran,
Nazar Dosh Nivaran, Vaivahik Badha Nivaran, Competitive Examination Havan,
Mirchi Havan, Shatru Stambhan Anushthan, Ucchatan-related rituals, Mantra Jaap,
and special festival pujas. Each ritual is undertaken according to
traditional practices and the devotee&#039;s specific sankalp.

Each
ritual is performed as part of traditional devotional practice, with the
devotee&#039;s personal faith and sankalp remaining at the centre of the ceremony.

For
many people, these rituals become a source of hope, positivity, and spiritual
strength while they continue working toward their goals in everyday life.

Why
Devotees Continue to Choose Havan

The
significance of Havan goes beyond ritual.

For
a few hours, the sound of sacred mantras, the warmth of the holy fire, and the
discipline of prayer create an atmosphere that feels entirely different from
everyday life. It offers devotees an opportunity to pause, reflect, and
reconnect with their inner self.

In
today&#039;s fast-paced world, where people constantly balance careers, businesses,
financial responsibilities, and family commitments, this dedicated time for
devotion often becomes deeply meaningful.

For
devotees of Maa Baglamukhi, Havan is not only a prayer—it is a moment of
surrender, gratitude, and renewed faith.

Nalkheda:
A Sacred Destination for Maa Baglamukhi Devotees

Located
in Madhya Pradesh, Nalkheda has long been regarded as one of the most
significant centres of Maa Baglamukhi worship. The temple attracts devotees
from across India who visit to perform Havan, seek blessings, and participate
in traditional rituals.

Recognising
that many devotees are unable to travel, Acharya Pandit Deepak Sharma Ji also
assists families and individuals connecting from other cities and countries.
Through phone and WhatsApp consultations, devotees can discuss their sankalp,
understand the appropriate ritual, and coordinate their worship while remaining
connected to the temple&#039;s sacred traditions.

This
accessibility has made authentic Maa Baglamukhi worship available to devotees
around the globe without compromising its traditional foundation.

Celebrating
Sacred Occasions Through Worship

Certain
periods of the Hindu calendar hold special significance for Maa Baglamukhi
devotees.

Navratri,
particularly Chaitra and Shardiya Navratri, is one of the most auspicious times
for Shakti worship. Maha Ashtami, Maha Navami, Gupt Navratri, and Maa
Baglamukhi Jayanti also inspire thousands of devotees to undertake special
Havans, mantra jaap, and Anushthans.

During
these occasions, Acharya Pandit Deepak Sharma Ji conducts festival-specific
pujas, allowing devotees to renew their spiritual journey through traditional
worship.

Tradition
Meets Modern Accessibility

While
the rituals themselves remain rooted in ancient Vedic traditions, the way
devotees connect with spiritual guidance has naturally evolved.

Today,
someone living in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Dubai, London, or New York can learn about
Maa Baglamukhi worship, consult with an experienced Acharya, and understand the
appropriate ritual before making any arrangements.

Acharya
Pandit Deepak Sharma Ji&#039;s official platform serves as an educational and
devotional resource, helping devotees explore different puja options,
understand their significance, and connect with the temple in a simple and
respectful manner.

Faith
That Complements Everyday Life

For
many devotees, spirituality is not separate from daily life—it strengthens it.

A
Havan does not replace hard work, and prayer does not replace responsibility.
Instead, spiritual practice gives people the confidence to face life&#039;s
challenges with greater patience, positivity, and determination.

A
student still prepares for examinations. An entrepreneur continues building a
business. A professional works toward career growth. Alongside these efforts,
prayer becomes a source of inner balance and hope.

That
harmony between faith and action is what continues to make Maa Baglamukhi
worship meaningful for countless devotees.

A
Tradition That Continues to Inspire

The
world continues to change, but the desire for peace, blessings, and spiritual
connection remains timeless. People still visit temples to begin new journeys,
seek strength during uncertain moments, and express gratitude for the blessings
they have received.

At
the heart of this enduring tradition is Acharya Pandit Deepak Sharma Ji,
who continues to guide devotees through Maa Baglamukhi Havan, Anushthan, mantra
jaap, and other sacred rituals at the Maa Baglamukhi Temple in Nalkheda.

Whether
someone visits the temple in person or connects from another part of the world,
the journey always begins with the same foundation—a sincere prayer, a
meaningful sankalp, and unwavering faith in Maa Baglamukhi&#039;s blessings.

For
devotees seeking to learn more about Maa Baglamukhi Havan, Anushthan, political
victory pujas, mantra jaap, and other traditional rituals, Acharya Pandit
Deepak Sharma Ji&#039;s official platform provides complete information about the
available services and ways to connect with the temple.

<title>Kolkata&amp;apos;s Keyline Digitech Launches EfforTrak, Bringing Enterprise&#45;Grade HR Processes Within Reach of Indian SMEs</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/kolkatas-keyline-digitech-launches-effortrak-bringing-enterprise-grade-hr-processes-within-reach-of-indian-smes</link>

<description><![CDATA[ For
most small and medium enterprises in India, &quot;HR process&quot; often means
a stack of Excel sheets, a chat group for leave requests, and a payroll cycle
run on manual calculations and hope. Kolkata-based Keyline Digitech Pvt Ltd, a
digital solutions company with over 23 years of experience building web,
mobile, and AI products for businesses across the globe, wants to change that
with EfforTrak — a homegrown HRMS, attendance, payroll, and field-force
platform built for Indian MSMEs.

A
Problem Every Growing Business Recognizes

India&#039;s
SME sector is often called the backbone of the economy. Yet as these businesses
grow from a handful of employees to fifty or a hundred, most hit the same wall:
the informal systems that worked when everyone knew everyone start to break
down. Attendance gets disputed, salary calculations have errors, leave
approvals get lost in chat threads, and compliance deadlines are missed — often
at the cost of a labour notice, or a good employee who left because payroll was
late for the third month running.

Large
enterprises solved this problem decades ago with HRMS platforms, but most were
priced and designed for companies with dedicated IT and HR departments — not a
40-person manufacturing unit in Howrah or a retail chain expanding across three
cities. That gap is where EfforTrak is positioned.

What
EfforTrak Actually Does

EfforTrak
is built around a simple premise: an MSME shouldn&#039;t need a battery of
consultants and a six-figure IT budget to run its people operations properly.
The platform brings together the modules a growing business actually needs, in
one connected system:

Biometric
and face-recognition attendance. Instead of manual registers
or attendance that can be gamed, EfforTrak supports kiosk-based biometric
devices and face-recognition attendance, giving owners an accurate,
tamper-resistant record of who was present, when, and where.

A
mobile app with geofencing attendance. For
teams not tied to one office, employees can mark attendance from their phone
within a defined geofenced radius — a reliable check-in system for multi-site,
field, or hybrid teams without a biometric device at every location.

Payroll
built for Indian compliance. Payroll in India involves gratuity rules,
full-and-final settlement timelines, wage structuring under the new Labour
Codes, and details that catch owners off guard. EfforTrak&#039;s payroll engine is
designed around these specifics rather than being a generic global tool
retrofitted for India.

Field-force
and GPS tracking. For sales teams, technicians, or delivery
staff, EfforTrak offers location tracking that balances accountability with
practicality, without excessive battery drain.

Leave,
recruitment, and the employee lifecycle.
From the moment a candidate is shortlisted to onboarding, and every leave
application after, EfforTrak keeps the employee journey in one place instead of
scattered across spreadsheets and emails.

Simple
asset management. Laptops, phones, and tools have a way of
quietly disappearing as a business grows. EfforTrak includes a straightforward
module to track what&#039;s been issued to whom.

Basic
lead management. Many MSMEs run their sales pipeline out of a
notebook, losing leads in the process. EfforTrak&#039;s built-in lead management
lets smaller sales teams capture, assign, and follow up on leads, adding a
first layer of structure to revenue operations alongside HR.

Unit
cost analysis. Beyond attendance and payroll, EfforTrak
breaks down the overhead cost of people by project and task type, letting
owners see what each project actually costs to staff — a level of visibility
most MSMEs currently have no easy way to track.

Why
It Matters for the &quot;Process&quot; Conversation

Keyline
Digitech&#039;s pitch for EfforTrak isn&#039;t just &quot;software that tracks
attendance.&quot; It&#039;s framed around a bigger idea: process as a growth
enabler. A business that can trust its attendance data, calculate payroll
correctly the first time, and onboard employees with a defined workflow is one
that can expand into a new city, take on a larger client, or pass a
due-diligence check during fundraising without scrambling to reconstruct
records — increasingly important as more MSMEs formalize operations to qualify
for institutional credit or meet vendor-compliance audits from larger corporate
clients. A structured HRMS isn&#039;t a luxury in that context; it&#039;s closer to
infrastructure.

Built
by a Team That Understands the Indian MSME Context

Keyline
Digitech is not a new entrant experimenting with SaaS. The company has spent
over 14 years developing web, mobile, and AI-driven solutions for clients
across the globe, giving it a vantage point on how Indian businesses actually
operate — including the ones that don&#039;t fit templates built for Silicon Valley
startups or multinational enterprises. That shows up in EfforTrak&#039;s design
choices: a mobile-first attendance experience, affordable, locally serviceable
biometric devices, and a payroll engine built around Indian labour law rather
than adapted from a Western product. The company has also brought in domain
expertise beyond its own engineering team, working with HR compliance
specialists to ensure the payroll and labour-law logic reflects real regulatory
requirements — an important distinction in a country where compliance rules
vary by state and change with each Labour Code rollout.

What&#039;s
Next

EfforTrak
continues to evolve as a platform rather than a fixed product, with new modules
— including a dedicated recruitment workflow and desktop productivity
monitoring — in active development. The roadmap follows a phased approach:
start with a manageable core a small business can adopt without friction, then
add capability as it grows.

For
India&#039;s MSME sector, central to the country&#039;s employment and growth story,
tools like EfforTrak represent a quieter but important trend: enterprise-grade
discipline in HR and operations, built and priced for businesses previously
locked out of it.

is a product of Keyline Digitech Pvt Ltd, a digital solutions company
headquartered in Kolkata, serving clients across the globe. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ -Greenply
disrupts Indian Plywood market, sets new benchmark in termite protection,
durability &amp; lifetime assurance with innovative Termivax, powered by
proprietary Nano- Technology.

Kolkata,
11th August 2026: 
Greenply Industries Limited, one of India&#039;s leading interior
infrastructure companies, has introduced TermiVax one of India&#039;s first
Vaccinated anti-termite plywood powered by advanced nanotechnology with a
patent application filed. With this innovation, Greenply plywood will now come
with superior lifetime protection against termites, a problem highlighted under
damp &amp; wet conditions &amp; gets accelerated in monsoon season.

This
innovation is much ahead than usual surface treatment &amp; comes with advanced
solution that prohibits growth of termites &amp; subsequent damage to your
furniture &amp; home interiors. It’s nanotechnology compound penetrates deep
into every corner of plywood besides surface ensures that every corner of
plywood is fully covered by this protection. 

For
decades, anti-termite protection has primarily relied on surface coatings and
post-installation chemical treatments. While these methods offer temporary
protection, they often remain limited to the surface and can gradually lose
effectiveness over time due to cutting, drilling, moisture exposure and regular
wear and tear.

By
integrating protection directly into the plywood during manufacturing, Greenply
aims to provide a more reliable and long-lasting solution for homes, commercial
spaces and institutional projects. This new product is thoroughly tested &amp;
approved by IPIRTI (Indian Plywood industry’s research &amp; training Institute).

Commenting
on the launch, Sanidhya Mittal, Joint Managing Director, Greenply Industries
Limited, said: &quot;At Greenply, innovation has
always been guided by one simple objective to solve real consumer challenges
through meaningful technology. Termite damage continues to be one of the
biggest concerns for homeowners, particularly in a country like India where
climatic conditions often accelerate infestations. This innovation reflects our
commitment to continuously raising industry benchmarks by delivering advanced, more
dependable and future-ready solutions for consumers which make your interior
&amp; home interior long last.”

This
new technology solution will be available across the entire Green Range –

<title>Bangalore&amp;apos;s Luxury Apartment Boom: What&amp;apos;s Driving the Demand for Premium Interior Design</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/bangalores-luxury-apartment-boom-whats-driving-the-demand-for-premium-interior-design</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/bangalores-luxury-apartment-boom-whats-driving-the-demand-for-premium-interior-design</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ On the fourteenth floor of a residential
tower off Sarjapur Road, a young couple is redrawing the boundaries of a 1,450
square foot 3BHK. What used to be a formal, rarely-used dining room is now a
fold-away home office. A boxy foyer has become a shoe-and-storage wall
disguised behind fluted panelling. Their story is an increasingly familiar one
across Bengaluru&#039;s high-rises, where the challenge is no longer simply
decorating an apartment, but re-engineering how a family actually lives inside
it.

This quiet redesign of everyday life is why
demand for apartment interior
designers in Bangalore has climbed steadily over the past years — not
as a luxury indulgence, but as a practical response to how the city itself has
changed.

The Vertical Living Paradox

Bengaluru&#039;s apartment stock has grown
taller and denser even as household needs have grown more complex.
Multi-generational families, work-from-home professionals, and young couples
raising children are frequently sharing the same 3BHK and 4BHK floor
plans, each carrying different, sometimes conflicting, expectations of the
same rooms. A living room must double as a play area by day and a formal
reception space by evening. A study must serve one parent&#039;s video calls while a
child does homework at the same desk an hour later.

This is the paradox of vertical living:
more people are living in less footprint per person than a generation ago, yet
expectations for comfort, privacy, and aesthetics have only risen. Developers
optimise floor plans for saleable area, not for how a specific family actually
spends its day — which is precisely the gap that apartment interior
design has stepped in to close.

Designing Around the New Indian
Household

Perhaps the most significant shift is the
return of the multi-generational home. Many Bengaluru families now
house grandparents, working professionals, and school-going children under one
roof — a configuration that older apartment layouts, built around the nuclear
family, were never designed to support.

Interior designers are responding with
layered privacy: a grandparent&#039;s room positioned away from evening traffic and
noise, ensuite bathrooms with grab rails built in discreetly rather than added
later, and lighting schemes that shift from bright task lighting for study
corners to warmer, gentler tones in shared lounges. None of this is visible
from a floor plan; it only emerges once a designer maps how each family member
actually moves through the home across a single day.

The other defining brief of the past two
years has been the home office. What began as a pandemic-era
compromise — a laptop balanced on a dining table — has matured into a genuine
design category. Owners now ask for acoustic separation from the rest of the
home, dedicated storage for files and equipment, and a backdrop considered enough
for video calls, all folded into rooms that must revert to guest bedrooms or
family space on weekends.

Storage as the New Status Symbol

Ask any Bangalore-based designer what
apartment owners request most often, and the answer is rarely a statement chandelier
or an accent wall — it is storage solutions. In compact floor
plans, a well-planned utility, a full-height wardrobe system, or a modular
kitchen with intelligent pull-out units has become the real luxury, because it
is what allows a home to look calm rather than cluttered.

This has pushed modular furniture
and bespoke carpentry to the centre of most apartment briefs. Furniture that
folds, nests, or converts — a study desk that becomes a dressing unit, a dining
table that extends only when guests arrive — allows a single room to serve two
or three purposes without ever feeling temporary or improvised.

Borrowed Light, Considered Materials

High-rise apartments also bring a recurring
physical constraint: limited natural light on lower and mid-level floors, and
narrow balconies that receive harsh western sun on others. Designers are
increasingly working with light-reflective materials, strategically
placed mirrors, and glazed partitions between rooms to borrow daylight across a
floor plan rather than trapping it in a single space. Balconies, meanwhile, are
being reimagined as usable extensions of the home — shaded, planted, and
furnished — rather than leftover utility areas.

Why Bangalore Homeowners Are Choosing
Professional Design Over DIY

With online inspiration readily available,
many owners begin by attempting a DIY approach, only to run into the same wall:
an apartment&#039;s plumbing points, electrical layout, and structural columns are
fixed, and a Pinterest board rarely accounts for them. Aishwarya Interiors, the
Bangalore-based residential
design studio founded in 2004 by Yogesh and Laxmi Deshmukh, notes that most
enquiries now begin not with a mood board, but with a specific problem — too
little storage, an awkward corridor, a room that never gets used.

&quot;People aren&#039;t looking for a designer
to make their home look nice in photographs anymore,&quot; the studio observes.
&quot;They&#039;re looking for someone to make the apartment work the way their
family actually lives — which is a far more technical brief than it
sounds.&quot;

That shift — from aesthetics-first to
function-first — is arguably the defining trend in home interiors in Bangalore
today. As apartment sizes plateau and household compositions grow more varied,
the designers best positioned to win trust are not necessarily those with the
boldest portfolios, but those who can translate a family&#039;s daily routine into a
floor plan that quietly, invisibly, just works.

For a city adding vertical housing faster
than almost any other in India, that invisible engineering — more than any
single finish or fixture — is what will define the next decade of apartment interior design in Bangalore. ]]></description>

<title>When Skincare Became a Teen Problem: Why Belletique Wants to Make Skin Education Fun, Trustworthy and Pressure&#45;Free</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/when-skincare-became-a-teen-problem-why-belletique-wants-to-make-skin-education-fun-trustworthy-and-pressure-free</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/when-skincare-became-a-teen-problem-why-belletique-wants-to-make-skin-education-fun-trustworthy-and-pressure-free</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ By Dr. Mohammad Afzal Siddiqui

A few conversations with colleagues
recently made me think about something that is becoming increasingly common
among teenagers.

One colleague, Ms. Norin, shared an
interesting story. She has to keep her skincare products away from her younger
sister—not because she doesn&#039;t want her sister to use them, but because she is
unsure whether those products are actually suitable for her sister&#039;s skin.
There is another practical concern too: many skincare products are simply too
expensive to experiment with.

Another colleague, Parerna, shared a
similar experience. Her younger sister has become fascinated by Korean skincare
and the idea of achieving &quot;glass skin.&quot; The desire is understandable.
Teenagers today are exposed to thousands of perfectly polished faces on
Instagram, YouTube and other social platforms. But the information they receive
doesn&#039;t always tell them what is appropriate for young skin—or whether they
need those products at all.

These conversations led us to a larger
question:

Are we teaching teenagers how to
understand their skin, or are we simply teaching them what to buy?

That question became one of the
reasons we started Belletique.in.

Teenagers Don&#039;t Need Another Lecture

Today&#039;s teenagers are surrounded by
information.

They learn at school. They attend
tuition classes. Parents and family members constantly advise them. Friends
have their own opinions. And then there is social media—an endless stream of
advice about skincare, acne, sunscreen, serums, face masks, Korean beauty and
&quot;glow-ups.&quot;

The problem isn&#039;t a lack of
information.

The problem is knowing what
information to trust—and making learning interesting enough that teenagers
actually want to engage with it.

If we simply create another website
full of long articles telling teenagers what they &quot;should&quot; and
&quot;shouldn&#039;t&quot; do, we may be adding one more classroom to their already
crowded lives.

That isn&#039;t what we wanted Belletique
to become.

We wanted to create something that
feels more like a community of friends learning together.

A place where a teenager can ask,
&quot;Why do I suddenly have pimples?&quot;

Or:

&quot;Do I really need
sunscreen?&quot;

&quot;Why are my friends&#039; skin
routines so complicated?&quot;

&quot;Can I use my sister&#039;s
serum?&quot;

&quot;Is glass skin actually healthy
skin?&quot;

&quot;Why is my skin darker than my
friends&#039;?&quot;

These are not silly questions.

For a teenager, they can be very real
concerns.

Confidence Shouldn&#039;t Have a Skin Colour

There is another issue that is equally
important to us.

The beauty industry has historically
created very narrow ideas of what &quot;beautiful&quot; skin should look like.
Fair, flawless, poreless, glowing and increasingly &quot;glass-like.&quot;

But healthy skin doesn&#039;t have one
colour.

It can be fair, brown, dusky, deep,
wheatish or anything in between.

A teenager shouldn&#039;t have to believe
that they need to change their natural skin colour to feel attractive or
confident.

At Belletique, our vision is simple:

To help teenagers feel confident in
their own skin.

That means helping them understand
that skincare isn&#039;t about becoming someone else. It is about learning how to
take care of the skin they already have.

We want to move the conversation from &quot;How
can I look perfect?&quot; to &quot;How can I keep my skin healthy?&quot;

That may sound like a small change in
words, but for a teenager, it can represent a completely different way of
looking at themselves.

The Skinfluencer Problem

There is another challenge that cannot
be ignored.

Social media has democratized skincare
information. Anyone can create a video, share a routine and call themselves an
expert.

Some creators provide genuinely useful
information. But others promote complicated routines, unnecessary products or
unrealistic expectations. Sometimes the recommendation is influenced by a
commercial relationship or a desire to sell something.

A teenager may see a video with
millions of views and naturally assume:

&quot;If millions of people are
watching it, it must be true.&quot;

Unfortunately, popularity is not the
same as medical credibility.

This is why we believe teenagers need
a different kind of source—one where medical credibility comes before
commercial interests.

Dermatologist-Guided, Not Product-Driven

Belletique is being built around a
simple principle:

Education first. Products second.

We want teenagers to understand their
skin before they start buying products for it.

Our educational content is designed
with dermatologist guidance, with an emphasis on evidence-based, practical and
age-appropriate information.

The objective isn&#039;t to convince a
teenager that they need ten skincare products.

In fact, sometimes the most useful
advice may be:

You don&#039;t need another product.

For young skin, understanding the
basics can often be more valuable than following complicated beauty trends.

We also want to create a clear
distinction between education and product promotion. Teenagers should be able
to learn about acne, sunscreen, skin hygiene, pigmentation and other common
concerns without feeling that every piece of information is ultimately leading
them toward a purchase.

Learning Through Friends, Not From a Podium

This is perhaps the most important
part of our approach.

Teenagers naturally learn from each
other.

They discuss what they use. They share
experiences. They ask questions anonymously. They challenge each other&#039;s
beliefs. They follow trends. They laugh about embarrassing skin moments that
adults may not fully understand.

Why not use that natural behaviour to
create a healthier learning environment?

Belletique is therefore being
developed as a teen skin health community, where education can happen
through questions, conversations, challenges, polls, quizzes, myths versus
facts, relatable stories and dermatologist-guided answers.

Instead of saying:

&quot;Here is another lesson about
skincare.&quot;

We want to say:

&quot;Hey, your friend asked this.
Have you ever wondered the same thing?&quot;

That difference matters.

Because teenagers don&#039;t necessarily
reject learning.

They reject being preached to.

From &quot;Glow-Up&quot; to &quot;Grow-Up&quot;

The beauty industry often talks about
a &quot;glow-up.&quot;

We believe teenagers need something
slightly different: a healthy grow-up.

Growing up means understanding that
acne doesn&#039;t make you unattractive.

It means knowing that having darker
skin doesn&#039;t make you less beautiful.

It means understanding that social
media photos aren&#039;t reality.

It means learning that a celebrity&#039;s
skincare routine may not be appropriate for a 14-year-old.

It means knowing when a skin concern
can be managed with basic care and when it is time to speak to a dermatologist.

And perhaps most importantly, it means
developing a healthy relationship with your appearance at an age when
self-confidence is still being formed.

Why Belletique?

Belletique.in was born from these
everyday conversations—not from a desire to create another beauty marketplace.

Our ambition is to build India&#039;s
teen skin health platform, where teenagers can learn about their skin in a
language and environment that feels natural to them.

The platform brings together three
things we believe are urgently needed:

Fun —
because learning shouldn&#039;t always feel like homework.

Friends
— because teenagers learn naturally through communities and shared experiences.

Trusted guidance — because health information should not be determined by likes,
views or product sales.

We are still at the beginning of this
journey.

There is a lot to learn, and there is
a lot to build.

But our fundamental belief is clear:

Every teenager deserves the opportunity
to understand their skin without feeling pressured to change who they are.

The goal isn&#039;t perfect skin.

The goal isn&#039;t fairer skin.

The goal isn&#039;t &quot;glass skin.&quot;

The goal is healthy skin—and the
confidence to feel good in your own skin.

That is the idea behind Belletique.

And perhaps, in a world where
teenagers are constantly being told how they should look, the most important
message we can give them is a simple one:

You already own the skin you need to be confident
in. Learn how to take care of it.

spaces and amenities, makes it relevant for buyers considering apartments in
Kollur, Hyderabad, as well as those comparing premium apartments in Hyderabad.

With
2 BHK homes continuing to attract interest from end-users seeking a balance of
space, value and connectivity, the offer is aimed at buyers evaluating 2 BHK
flats in Hyderabad for self-use or long-term ownership.

<description><![CDATA[ National,
August 10, 2026 : Season 3 of the Global e-Cricket Premier
League (GEPL), conceptualised by JetSynthesys, a global leader in digital
entertainment and technology, concluded with a high-stakes finale. The
defending champions Chennai Falcons, jointly owned by Gopal Srinivasan,
Madhusudana R., Arjun Santhanakrishnan, retained their crown in a
spectacular fashion after quelling a strong challenge from Sara
Tendulkar-owned Mumbai Grizzlies in the final of the third season of the
JetSynthesys’ Global e-Cricket Premier League (GEPL) on Sunday. In the title
clash, Chennai Falcons endured some nervous moments on their way to a 2-1
victory over Mumbai Grizzlies in a best-of-three title clash. With the teams
tied at 1-1 following the second final, the Falcons won the third and final contest
by two wickets to retain the title. 

Peyush
Bansal-owned Delhi Sharks ended the tournament as the second runners-up
while Bengaluru Badgers, co-owned by Nikhil Kamath, Ankit Nagori and
Prashanth Prakash, went home after finishing fourth.

Mumbai
Grizzlies’ Jetha Ram finished the tournament as the leading
run-scorer with 488 runs, earning him the Orange Cap. Nadeem of
Chennai Falcons claimed the Purple Cap after topping the bowling
charts with 19 wickets.

Chennai
Falcons’ Deepak, who also finished as the tournament’s
third-highest run-scorer, was named the Emerging Player of the Tournament.

Jetha
Ram capped his impressive campaign by also being
named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the Tournament, having
contributed 488 runs and 14 wickets for the Mumbai Grizzlies.

Powered
by Real Cricket™, GEPL has consistently attracted some of India’s most
prominent business founders, investors, and cultural figures, owners who have
backed the league not as a sponsorship play, but as franchises to build a
long-term institution. 

The
finale drew participation from a strong slate of stakeholders, including Sara
Tendulkar (owner of Mumbai Grizzlies), Prashant Prakash (co-owner of Bengaluru
Badgers), Dr. Cyrus Poonawalla, Chairman of Poonawalla Group, Sean Sohn, CEO,
Krafton India, and famous Indian actor &amp; television presenter, Mandira
Bedi.

Rajan
Navani, Chairman of JetSynthesys, said, &quot;Season
3 has been the biggest proof yet of what GEPL set out to do - build a genuine
sport, not just a tournament. Eight franchises, our first international
broadcast, and a final as closely fought as this one are all signs that the
ambition behind GEPL is real and only growing. My congratulations to Chennai
Falcons on a hard-fought title defence, and to every franchise that made this
season bigger than anything we&#039;ve done before.&quot;

Jogesh
Lulla, Senior Vice President - Sports, JetSynthesys, said, &quot;This
has been our most competitive season yet, and a final this tight is the best
possible proof of that. Chennai Falcons have shown once again what it takes to
win under pressure, and performances like Jetha Ram&#039;s all-round campaign are
exactly the kind of stories we set out to tell this season. We&#039;re already
looking ahead to Season 4.&quot;

Sara
Tendulkar, who has been involved since the early stages of Season 2, and owner
of the Mumbai Grizzlies, shared, “Growing up
surrounded by on field cricket my whole life, GEPL was something completely new
for me, and there was so much to learn. What struck me most is how much
dedication and hard work goes into e-cricket, just like the game I&#039;ve grown up
around. I couldn&#039;t be prouder of what the Mumbai Grizzlies achieved this
season. Chennai Falcons played brilliantly and thoroughly deserve the win”.

Gopal
Srinivasan, Co-owner, Chennai Falcons said,
“Congratulations to the Chennai Falcons on defending the title. Doing it in a
season with eight incredibly competitive franchises makes this all the more
special, and it&#039;s something we&#039;re genuinely proud of. GEPL keeps raising the
bar every year, and it&#039;s exciting to see our team innovate with new strategies
and capabilities to continue to be best in class.”

Prashant
Prakash, Co-owner, Bengaluru Badgers, said, &quot;Finishing
fourth in a field this competitive tells you how much stronger GEPL has become
as a league. Every franchise this season had real depth, and the standard of
play across all eight teams was noticeably higher than what we saw before. As
an investor, that&#039;s exactly the trajectory you want to see - a league getting
harder to win, not easier.&quot;

Mandira
Bedi, who was present at the Grand Finale, said, &quot;The
growth of GEPL every year is something else - the organisation, the venue, the
standard of play, all of it keeps getting better. What stands out most is how
accessible it is - all you need is a phone and reflexes, and that&#039;s exactly
what &#039;Yeh Hamara Cricket Hai&#039; means to me. Congratulations to Chennai Falcons,
and JetSynthesys for building something this special.&quot;

After
a successful second season, the Season 3 had expanded to eight full franchises
with the addition of Kolkata Hawks (owned by music icon Sonu Nigam) and
Gujarat Wolves (owned by veteran esports player Scout – Tanmay Singh),
along with the existing six franchises, -- Delhi Sharks (Peyush Bansal),
Bengaluru Badgers (Nikhil Kamath, Ankit Nagori, Prashanth Prakash), Chennai
Falcons (Gopal Srinivasan, Madhusudanan R, Arjun Santhanakrishnan), Mumbai
Grizzlies (Sara Tendulkar), Pune Stallions (Suniel Shetty), and Hyderabad
Rhinos (Amit Mehta), marking a milestone in this year’s journey into a
mainstream, franchise-led sports and entertainment property.

With
Season 3 setting new benchmarks in scale, viewership and international reach,
JetSynthesys has confirmed that GEPL will return for a fourth season, with
plans already underway to deepen the league&#039;s community and grassroots
footprint.

<title>With a ₹16.47 LPA average, a new&#45;age B&#45;school is being compared to the IIMs | HiveSchool of Business sets new placement transparency benchmark to back the claim</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The
Gurugram-based revenue B-school, which recently went viral on LinkedIn for
outperforming 50% of IIMs on placements, has responded to public scepticism
with a first-of-its-kind verification initiative and founder Nikhil Gaur
committing to personally answer every placement query

Gurugram
(Haryana) [India], August 10 : Weeks after going viral
on LinkedIn for a placement record that outperformed 50% of IIMs, HiveSchool - India’s only revenue-focused business school
- has announced a set of transparency measures rarely seen in Indian education:
a placement report and video that name every single placed student along
with their story, the ability for prospective students to reach out to any of
them directly and independently of the institution, and a commitment from its
founder to personally answer every placement-related question.

Key
highlights:

●       
Average CTC of ₹16.47 LPA and highest package
of ₹27.8 LPA for the 2025-26 cohort

●       
Median CTC of ₹15 LPA - a figure most
institutes decline to publish

●       
Top 25% average of ₹21.93 LPA; Top 50% average
of ₹18.63 LPA; Top 75% average of ₹17.65 LPA

●       
Placement season led by marquee recruiters
including Adobe, Yatra and Payoneer, with 50+ companies participating in the
process

●       
Every placed student named in the official
placement report and ‘Placement Decode’ video each with their individual story:
the role, the company, the journey

●       
Prospective students can reach out to any placed
student directly  independent of the
institution, with no counsellor or school representative involved

The
announcement follows a familiar pattern in Indian education strong numbers met
with public scepticism. When HiveSchool’s placement statistics circulated on
LinkedIn, drawing comparisons with half the IIM list, the most common response
was disbelief that a young institution could post such figures.

HiveSchool’s
answer was not a rebuttal. It was a disclosure.

Unlike
conventional placement reports built on anonymous averages, HiveSchool’s report
and its official ‘Placement
Decode’ video account for every single placed student
of the cohort by name - along with each one’s story: the role they landed, the
company that hired them, and the journey through the season. There are no
aggregates hiding individual outcomes; every number in the report traces back
to a named person.

The
school has gone a step further on verification. Prospective students can pick
any name from the report and reach out to that student directly -  independent of the institution. No counsellor
arranges the call, no school representative sits in, and the conversations
happen entirely outside HiveSchool’s involvement.

Alongside
this, Nikhil Gaur will personally respond to every placement-related query from
prospective students - on roles, companies, or compensation - without routing
them through a counsellor or admissions team.

“We’re
a young institution, and scepticism towards our numbers is fair,” said Nikhil
Gaur, Founder and CEO, HiveSchool. “We can’t expect students to simply take our
word for it nor should they. The most honest thing we could do was put every
name and every story on record, and let people speak to our students without us
in the picture. Trust in education has to be earned, and it has to go beyond
audits.”

“If
a student is going to invest a year of their life with us, they deserve to
verify everything first,” he added. “We’d rather be questioned openly than
doubted quietly.”

The
school attributes its outcomes to its pedagogy. The 9-month, full-time program
is built backward from the roles technology companies actually hire for -
Sales, GTM, Growth, Founder’s Office and Program Management with a curriculum
co-designed alongside recruiters and taught by practising revenue operators
from leading technology companies rather than career academics.

Students
spend the majority of the program on live work rather than case studies alone:
building and carrying real pipelines, running outbound and GTM projects for
operating startups, and training on the AI-native selling stacks used by modern
revenue teams - with a deliberate orientation toward US-facing B2B markets,
where a majority of the cohort’s roles were based. Assessments mirror the job
itself: capstones are pitched to and evaluated by senior revenue leaders, so
students graduate with work recruiters can examine, not just grades.

The
move lands amid a wider debate on placement reporting in Indian management
education, where institutes routinely publish averages without distributions,
and outcomes remain difficult for applicants to independently confirm. By
naming every student behind its numbers, publishing its complete percentile
staircase including the median and opening direct, unmediated access to its
placed cohort, HiveSchool hopes the disclosure sets a new benchmark for
placement transparency in the industry.

Founded
by Nikhil Gaur, Prabal Monga and Simar Sekhri, HiveSchool of Business
runs a 9-month full-time Post Graduate Program building revenue talent for the
global economy. The school, which featured on Shark Tank India, counts
operators from leading technology companies among its mentors.

Admissions
for the next cohort are now open. Prospective students can apply at www.hiveschool.co ]]></description>

<title>Innefu Labs: India&amp;apos;s Palantir Building the Sovereign AI Backbone for National Security</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/innefu-labs-indias-palantir-building-the-sovereign-ai-backbone-for-national-security</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/innefu-labs-indias-palantir-building-the-sovereign-ai-backbone-for-national-security</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As
nations increasingly treat data sovereignty as a matter of national security,
one name comes up consistently among those tracking the space in India: Innefu
Labs, the artificial intelligence company in the space of national security
that industry watchers regularly describe as India&#039;s Palantir. Over more than a
decade, its platforms have become embedded across the country&#039;s defence,
intelligence, law enforcement, and revenue intelligence establishments, not as
a single system, but as the sovereign technological backbone of India&#039;s most
sensitive institutions.

Innefu
Labs, founded in 2010, has spent much of its history working inside classified,
air-gapped operational environments, which has kept its work largely out of
public view even as its footprint across India&#039;s security establishment has
grown.

A
Familiar Function: What Makes Innefu India&#039;s Palantir

Palantir&#039;s
contribution to national security technology was proving that artificial
intelligence could operate at government scale, that the fragmented, high-stakes
data problems inside defence and intelligence agencies were solvable with the
right software architecture. That premise reshaped how governments around the
world think about national security technology.

Innefu Labs
was built on the same premise, applied to a different geography and a different
set of constraints. Its platform ingests fragmented data from across a security
organization and converts it into real-time, actionable intelligence, the same
core capability that made Palantir central to US defence operations. The
difference lies in sovereignty: every layer of Innefu&#039;s stack, from its large
language models to its edge infrastructure, is built and run entirely within
Indian, air-gapped systems, with no external data or cloud dependencies of any
kind.

Where
the Platform Actually Runs

In
national security technology, deployments are the credential that matters most,
and by that measure Innefu has built a footprint with no domestic parallels.
Its systems are in operational use across the defence forces; inside
investigative and intelligence agencies; across state police departments in
multiple states; and within paramilitary and revenue intelligence agencies.

Innefu
is also the only Indian company to have simultaneously stood up Intelligence Fusion Centres
across defence, law enforcement, and revenue intelligence, each a sovereign,
self-contained environment where real-time intelligence fusion happens entirely
within the boundaries of the deploying organization. It is this footprint, more
than any single product, that has earned Innefu Labs its reputation as India&#039;s
Palantir.

Over
fifteen years, the company has accumulated a list of firsts that trace the
buildout of India&#039;s indigenous security technology capability: the country&#039;s
first National Terrorism Data Fusion Center; Southeast Asia&#039;s largest
Intelligence Fusion Center, built for the Indian Army; India&#039;s first indigenous
OSINT platform for intelligence and law enforcement use; the
country&#039;s first indigenous multi-factor authentication platform; and India&#039;s
first indigenous intelligence monitoring system deployed at state scale.

The
company has also built what it describes as the world&#039;s first large language
model designed specifically for defence and intelligence use, trained,
deployed, and run entirely within air-gapped infrastructure, with no external
model or connectivity dependencies.

A
Different Kind of Vendor for a Different Set of Needs

Palantir&#039;s
expansion, from US defence and intelligence into enterprise markets globally,
is a well-documented success story. At the same time, many governments handle
intelligence sensitive enough that any foreign platform, however capable,
raises questions their own regulations don&#039;t allow them to set aside. For these
governments, the requirement is a sovereign one, built and operated entirely
within their own borders.

India&#039;s
Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India mandates have formalized what Innefu&#039;s
founders assumed from the start: that the country&#039;s security infrastructure
should run on Indian technology, built and operated by an Indian company. Those
procurement mandates have accelerated demand for exactly the kind of
sovereign-by-design platform Innefu has spent over a decade building. The
company&#039;s 100+ installations across India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia
point to both the depth of that domestic adoption and the outline of an
international market taking shape around the same need.

Fifteen
Years in the Making

The
reputation as India&#039;s Palantir didn&#039;t happen overnight. Innefu&#039;s early years
were spent winning contracts against larger foreign vendors at a fraction of
their price, then delivering at a standard that made the next contract easier
to win. That compounding credibility has since translated into scale: the
company has crossed ₹100 crore in annual revenue, reportedly the first Indian
company with indigenously developed AI products to hit that milestone in the
national and cyber security domain, and now employs more than 400 professionals
managing a client portfolio across some of India&#039;s most sensitive sectors.

That
track record recently drew fresh capital: a USD 30 million Series B round. The
company says the funding will go toward physical AI and robotics, sovereign
large language model infrastructure at international scale, and expansion into
geographies where demand for a credible national security AI platform that is
neither American nor Chinese is no longer a niche requirement but a strategic
necessity. ]]></description>

<title>Athulya Senior Care Becomes Bengaluru&amp;apos;s Largest Assisted Living Provider with Launch of its Third Geriatric Care Centre in Mathikere</title>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/athulya-senior-care-becomes-bengalurus-largest-assisted-living-provider-with-launch-of-its-third-geriatric-care-centre-in-mathikere</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
August 10, 2026: Athulya Senior Care, India&#039;s largest assisted
living provider, today inaugurated its third Integrated Geriatric Care Centre
in Mathikere, Bengaluru, further expanding access to comprehensive senior
healthcare services in the city. With over 300 dedicated senior care beds
across Bengaluru, Athulya is now the city&#039;s largest provider of integrated
geriatric care. The facility was inaugurated by Hon&#039;ble Shri U.T. Khader,
Minister for Health &amp; Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, in the
presence of the founders of Athulya Senior Care, healthcare professionals, and
senior citizens.

In
Karnataka, the need for dedicated elder care has become particularly
significant, with older adults accounting for 9.2% of the state&#039;s population,
one of the highest proportions in India, according to the Sample Registration
System (SRS) 2021 published by the Office of the Registrar General and Census
Commissioner under the Ministry of Home Affairs. This demographic shift is
accompanied by a growing burden of age-related health conditions: an
international study has estimated the prevalence of dementia among adults aged
60 years and above in the state at 7.6%, marginally higher than the national
average. 



With
India&#039;s elderly population expected to nearly double over the coming decades,
the need for specialised geriatric healthcare that goes beyond conventional
hospital-based treatment is only set to grow. Recognising this emerging public
health challenge, the Government of Karnataka has declared dementia a public
health priority through initiatives such as the Karnataka State Dementia Action
Plan and the Brain Health Initiative, aimed at strengthening awareness, enabling
early diagnosis, and improving integrated care for cognitive disorders.

The
launch of Athulya&#039;s new centre aligns with these broader efforts by expanding
access to specialised geriatric healthcare, cognitive care and long-term
support services for the elderly.

Hon&#039;ble
Shri U.T. Khader, Minister for Health &amp; Family Welfare, Government of
Karnataka, said “As Karnataka prepares for the healthcare
needs of an ageing society, strengthening geriatric care infrastructure will
play an increasingly important role in ensuring healthy ageing and improving
quality of life for senior citizens. Facilities that provide integrated
healthcare, rehabilitation and long-term support complement the government&#039;s
efforts to enhance elder care across the state. I congratulate Athulya Senior
Care on this important addition to Bengaluru&#039;s healthcare ecosystem and wish
them success in their continued service to our senior citizens.”

Mr.
Srinivasan G., Founder &amp; CEO, Athulya Senior Care,
said, “Bengaluru has emerged as one of India&#039;s fastest-growing destinations
for specialised senior care, driven by increasing life expectancy, changing
family structures, and greater awareness of assisted living. Karnataka is a key
market in our long-term growth strategy, and the launch of our Mathikere centre
marks another significant milestone in strengthening our presence in the state.
We remain committed to building an integrated senior care ecosystem that
combines clinical excellence, technology-enabled rehabilitation, and
compassionate caregiving to meet the evolving needs of older adults and their
families.”

Dr.
Karthik Narayan R., Founder &amp; Managing Director, Athulya Senior Care,
said, “India&#039;s healthcare ecosystem must evolve to meet the needs of an ageing
population. Senior care today extends far beyond medical treatment- it requires
an integrated approach that combines clinical excellence, rehabilitation,
emotional wellbeing and dignified living. Our new Mathikere facility has been
designed with this philosophy at its heart. As Bengaluru continues to grow as a
global city, we believe specialised geriatric care will become an essential
component of its healthcare infrastructure. This centre reflects our commitment
to building world-class senior care ecosystems that enable older adults to age
with dignity, independence and purpose.”

Located
in Mathikere, one of Bengaluru&#039;s well-connected residential neighbourhoods, the
purpose-built geriatric care centre has been developed exclusively for senior
citizens and offers a comprehensive continuum of care under one roof.  The state-of-the-art facility with around 100
beds, designed exclusively with geriatric support and comfort features spacious
and well-appointed living spaces, dedicated therapy and rehabilitation zones,
technology-enabled physiotherapy services including virtual reality-based
rehabilitation, specialised memory care infrastructure, emergency medical
support, nutritious diet management and recreational spaces that promote active
ageing and holistic wellbeing.

Athulya
Senior Care has established itself as India&#039;s leading provider of integrated
senior care services, offering assisted living, transition care,
rehabilitation, memory care, palliative care and home healthcare across
multiple cities. The launch of the Mathikere facility marks another milestone
in the organisation&#039;s mission to redefine elder care by combining clinical
expertise, compassionate caregiving and purpose-built infrastructure tailored
exclusively for senior citizens.

<title>The Hospitals of the Future Won&amp;apos;t Be Led by Doctors Alone, They Will Be Led by Healthcare Strategists</title>

<description><![CDATA[ As AI transforms
hospital operations and value-based care becomes the new benchmark, healthcare
professionals are discovering that clinical expertise alone is no longer
enough. Leadership, operational excellence, and AI-enabled decision-making are
emerging as the defining capabilities of tomorrow&#039;s healthcare leaders.

India&#039;s healthcare
sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Artificial intelligence is
moving beyond diagnostics into hospital operations. Digital health platforms
are redefining patient engagement, while healthcare organisations face mounting
pressure to improve outcomes, optimise costs and deliver better patient
experiences.

Healthcare is no longer
driven solely by medicine; it is increasingly being shaped by management.

The National Health
Authority continues to expand India&#039;s digital health ecosystem through the
Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, accelerating the adoption of digital
infrastructure across the healthcare landscape. Globally, organisations such as
the World Economic Forum and Deloitte have highlighted AI&#039;s growing role in
clinical operations, workforce planning and healthcare delivery.

This changing landscape
is redefining what it means to lead in healthcare.

The Rise
of the Healthcare Strategist

Today&#039;s healthcare
leaders are expected to balance clinical priorities with business realities.
Alongside delivering quality care, they must improve operational efficiency,
manage multidisciplinary teams, oversee financial performance, adopt emerging
technologies and lead organisational change.

Artificial intelligence
is becoming an important enabler in this transformation, helping healthcare
organisations optimise resource allocation, strengthen decision-making and
enhance patient outcomes.

As these
responsibilities expand, professionals across the sector are recognising the
value of combining healthcare expertise with management capabilities.

Preparing
Healthcare Professionals for Leadership

To address this growing
need, ISB Online, the digital learning arm of the Indian School of
Business (ISB), has announced admissions for Batch 24 of the Healthcare Management Programme.

Delivered in
collaboration with the Max Institute of Healthcare Management (MIHM),
the programme is designed for doctors, clinicians, hospital administrators,
healthcare entrepreneurs and allied healthcare professionals looking to
strengthen their leadership and management capabilities.

The curriculum combines
healthcare management with contemporary themes such as HealthTech, value-based
care, hospital operations, healthcare strategy, financial management,
quality improvement, leadership, digital transformation, and AI-driven healthcare management.
Participants gain a comprehensive understanding of how technology, data, and
management intersect to improve patient outcomes while driving operational
excellence across modern healthcare organisations.

Learning
Backed by Healthcare Expertise

A defining feature of
the programme is its collaboration with the Max Institute of Healthcare
Management, one of India&#039;s leading centres for healthcare management
education and research.

The partnership
combines ISB&#039;s management expertise with healthcare-focused insights, allowing
participants to engage with industry-relevant case studies, practical
frameworks and faculty who understand the realities of today&#039;s healthcare
ecosystem.

Complementing the core
curriculum is a series of live masterclasses led by industry experts, designed
to expose participants to some of healthcare&#039;s fastest-evolving applications of
AI. These sessions explore how AI and Generative AI are transforming hospital
operations, patient management, healthcare supply chains, finance and revenue
cycle management. Participants gain practical insights into areas such as
predictive analytics for patient care, AI-powered demand forecasting,
intelligent procurement, fraud detection, financial forecasting, virtual
patient engagement and operational optimisation. By connecting emerging
technologies with real-world healthcare challenges, the masterclasses offer a
contemporary perspective on how AI is reshaping healthcare leadership beyond
the classroom.

Professionals
Driving Real Career Transformation

Learners from previous cohorts
describe the programme as an opportunity to broaden their perspective beyond
patient care and develop a stronger understanding of healthcare strategy,
finance and operations.

Many highlight
increased confidence in leading teams, managing organisational challenges and
making strategic decisions, while also valuing the opportunity to learn
alongside a diverse cohort of healthcare professionals from across the
industry.

These experiences
reflect a broader shift taking place across healthcare, where leadership
increasingly requires a blend of clinical expertise, business acumen and
digital fluency.

Leading
the Next Chapter of Healthcare

As AI, digital
platforms and data-driven operations continue to reshape healthcare, leadership
expectations will only continue to evolve.

The organisations that
succeed will be those led by professionals who can connect clinical excellence
with operational excellence and strategic decision-making.

Admissions are now open
for Batch 24 of the ISB Online Healthcare Management Programme,
delivered by ISB Online, the digital learning arm of the Indian School
of Business, in collaboration with the Max Institute of Healthcare
Management, ISB.

Healthcare professionals
looking to build future-ready leadership capabilities and prepare for the next
phase of healthcare transformation can learn more and apply through the programme website. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

Navi Mumbai, India –
August 10, 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 first Quarter period ended 30th June 2026
(Q1FY27).

The company reported a
total revenue of INR 35.2 Cr, a 33% YoY growth, of which operating revenues
contributed to a robust 30% YoY growth. Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), a key
metric in the RegTech business, grew 7% during Q1FY27, and was up 11% as of
July 31, 2026, compared with March 31, 2026, underscoring continued momentum in
the enterprise SaaS business. The company posted an EBITDA of INR 0.8 Cr
despite the first quarter traditionally being a softer quarter for the
business.

Commenting
on the Q1FY27 results, K. Balachandran, Co-Founder and CEO, IRIS RegTech
Solutions Ltd., said:

“Our focus remains on
growing recurring revenue through accelerated investments in sales, marketing,
and product innovation. We are seeing encouraging momentum in enterprise ARR,
with our flagship SaaS platform, IRIS Carbon, adding several significant new
customers in the disclosure management space. Our SupTech business continued to
perform strongly, delivering 20% YoY growth this quarter while maintaining healthy
operating margins. We also successfully extended a key contract in South
Africa.

With the launch of new
modules across our SupTech and Banking RegTech platforms, we have strengthened
our end-to-end reporting capabilities and expanded opportunities across both
offerings. To accelerate growth and unlock value in these segments, we have
strengthened our leadership team with the appointment of Mr. Shailesh Gupta. He
brings over 25 years of experience in enterprise technology and RegTech, deep
SupTech domain expertise, and a proven entrepreneurial track record.”

Key Performance
Highlights:

●       
Revenue from SupTech witnessed a growth of 20%
YoY in Q1FY27 and higher profitability, led by large-scale regulatory
digital-reporting implementations across Africa and the Middle East.

●       
RegTech was the fastest-growing segment, with
revenue up 51% YoY, led by the continued expansion of the IRIS CARBON
disclosure management platform.

●       
Consolidated EBITDA for the quarter stood at
INR 0.8 crore, against INR 1.4 crore in Q1FY26. The moderation reflects a
deliberate step-up in sales and marketing investment, as the Company continues
to expand its footprint in international markets.

Deepta
Rangarajan, Co-Founder and Director, IRIS RegTech Solutions Ltd., said:

“IRIS Carbon continues
to win marquee customers in a competitive market. We are pleased to share that
ARR from our new disclosure management solution has now surpassed US$1 million,
reflecting the strength of our value proposition with an industry-leading
product and exceptional customer support. We are also encouraged by the
emergence of strong strategic partnerships, including our collaboration with
several Big4 accounting firms across Europe, which we believe will help
accelerate our market expansion.”

<title>KARAM Safety Partners with PHDCCI to Strengthen School Safety at National Summit on Safe Schools Leadership 2026</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/karam-safety-partners-with-phdcci-to-strengthen-school-safety-at-national-summit-on-safe-schools-leadership-2026</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/karam-safety-partners-with-phdcci-to-strengthen-school-safety-at-national-summit-on-safe-schools-leadership-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Supports the launch of the PHDCCI National Model School Safety Toolkit
to advance safer, more resilient and future-ready educational institutions

New
Delhi, August 10, 2026: Reinforcing its commitment to promoting a
culture of safety beyond workplaces, KARAM Safety partnered with the PHD
Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) for the National Summit on Safe
Schools Leadership 2026, bringing together over 400 participants, including
representatives from more than 90 schools across Delhi NCR, senior
policymakers, government officials, school leaders, academicians, safety
professionals and industry experts, to deliberate on strengthening
institutional safety, governance and leadership across India&#039;s education
ecosystem.

The
Summit served as a collaborative platform to address the growing need for
schools to adopt a more structured and integrated approach to safety.
Discussions centred on embedding safety into institutional governance and
leadership while strengthening preparedness across physical infrastructure,
emergency response, cyber resilience, student well-being and transport safety.

A
defining milestone of the Summit was the launch of the PHDCCI National Model
School Safety Toolkit (Proposed Framework), developed under the aegis of the
PHDCCI Safety &amp; Fire Committee. The voluntary implementation framework
provides schools with practical guidance, assessment mechanisms and best
practices across five critical pillars: Fire &amp; Infrastructure Safety, Cyber
Safety, Transport Safety, Mental Health &amp; Well-being, and Emergency
Preparedness. The Toolkit aims to help educational institutions move beyond
regulatory compliance to build a proactive culture of safety and resilience.

As
the supporting industry partner, KARAM Safety reaffirmed its commitment to
advancing safety awareness and preparedness across educational institutions.
With decades of expertise in safety solutions and risk prevention, the company
believes that creating safer learning environments requires collective action
involving policymakers, educational institutions, industry and the wider
community.

Commenting
on the initiative, Hemant Sapra, President – Global Sales &amp; Marketing,
KARAM Safety, and Co-Chairman at the PHD Chamber of Commerce Uttar Pradesh
Chapter, said:

&quot;At
KARAM Safety, we believe that safety is a shared responsibility and must be
embedded into every institution that shapes the future of our society. Schools
are where children learn, grow and thrive, making it essential to create
environments that are not only conducive to learning but also safe, secure and
resilient. Our partnership with PHDCCI for the National Summit on Safe Schools
Leadership 2026 reflects our commitment to supporting initiatives that
strengthen preparedness, encourage collaboration and foster a long-term culture
of safety across educational institutions.&quot;

The
inaugural session of the Summit was graced by Sardar Taranjit Singh Sandhu,
Lieutenant Governor of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, who emphasised
that school safety must become an integral component of educational governance
rather than merely a statutory requirement. He described the National Model
School Safety Toolkit as a timely initiative capable of strengthening
institutional preparedness and promoting a preventive safety culture across
schools. He also stressed the importance of regular safety audits, emergency
preparedness, cyber awareness, technology-enabled monitoring and coordinated
stakeholder engagement.

The
Guest of Honour, Shri Sunil Kumar Jha, IPS, Director General, Fire Services,
Civil Defence &amp; Home Guards, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India,
highlighted the importance of institutional fire safety and outlined the six
essential pillars of fire safety governance while introducing the Directorate
General&#039;s publication, Fire Safety – A Guide for Students, aimed at
strengthening awareness among school children.

As
part of the Summit, Ms. Lalita Tekchandani, K-Teck Head, KARAM Group, moderated
the technical session on Strengthening Emergency Preparedness for Safer
Schools, which explored infrastructure resilience, fire and earthquake
preparedness, safety audits, evacuation planning and institutional coordination
with disaster management agencies. The discussions highlighted the importance
of preparedness, accountability and collaboration in building safer school
ecosystems.

The
Summit also featured focused discussions on mental well-being, cyber safety,
transport safety, disaster preparedness and the role of technology in
strengthening institutional resilience. Participants deliberated on leadership
responsibilities, governance frameworks and collaborative approaches required
to build future-ready schools equipped to respond to emerging safety
challenges.

The
event concluded with a collective commitment from stakeholders across
government, education and industry to advance a proactive, inclusive and
sustainable culture of school safety. Through its partnership with PHDCCI,
KARAM Safety continues to support initiatives that strengthen institutional
preparedness and contribute to building safer, more resilient and
child-centric learning environments across the country.

<description><![CDATA[  

Chennai,
INDIA, 10th August, 2026 : The Chennai Angels (TCA), one of India&#039;s
leading angel investment networks, has announced an investment in LogiXair, a
Hyderabad-based aerospace and logistics technology company building automated,
hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft for middle-mile cargo movement. The round also
saw participation from the Kerala Angel Network and Lead Angels.

Founded
by Bhanu Teja Chidura and Pulla Kapil, LogiXair is addressing a critical gap in
India’s logistics ecosystem: Fast and reliable movement of cargo across sub-600
km routes, particularly between metros and Tier II and Tier III cities. Its
proposed cargo aircraft platform is designed to carry up to 300 kg over a range
of 600 km, enabling faster, infrastructure-independent delivery without
dependence on roads, rail networks or conventional airport infrastructure. The
company is addressing critical logistics challenges across sectors including
e-commerce, healthcare, manufacturing, defence, humanitarian relief, and remote
connectivity.

As
supply chains demand greater speed, resilience, and efficiency, LogiXair&#039;s
technology has the potential to reshape how critical cargo moves across regions
where traditional logistics infrastructure is limited. For LogiXair, the
investment will support the company&#039;s journey as it advances the development
and commercialisation of its autonomous cargo aviation platform, contributing
to the evolution of India&#039;s logistics infrastructure and reinforcing the
country&#039;s growing leadership in deep-tech innovation.

Commenting
on the fundraise, The Founder, Bhanu Teja Chidura said “We are excited to have
The Chennai Angels join us on this journey. Their support strengthens our
mission to build the next generation of short-haul aerial logistics
infrastructure. This investment strengthens our ability to accelerate product
development, validate key aircraft systems, and move closer to building a
scalable autonomous cargo aviation platform for India and global markets.

Investment
Director from The Chennai Angels (TCA), Ashish Mehta added, “Bhanu Teja Chidura
and the LogiXair team are taking a distinctive approach to autonomous
hybrid-electric cargo VTOL aircraft for middle-mile logistics. They have made
strong technical progress toward full-scale flight while securing commercial
interest across multiple routes in India. With growing opportunities in both
commercial logistics and defence, we believe LogiXair is well positioned to
lead the next generation of autonomous cargo aviation.”

<title>After accountability gains, AI puts education quality to the test: Gopalkrishna Gandhi at Vidyashilp University’s first convocation</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Former
West Bengal governor urges universities to treat AI as an instrument, not a
master, and produce ideal citizens not mere graduates

Bengaluru,
August 10, 2026 : After gains in making education accountable,
India must now confront the quality of learning as AI-enabled shortcuts
threaten students’ ability to think independently, former West Bengal
governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi said at Vidyashilp University’s first
convocation.

“A
great victory has been achieved in making education accountable,” Gandhi said,
“but there is something else called the quality of education.”

“Our
ability to think for ourselves is being benumbed by the automatic availability
of digital, cyber and artificially created options,” he said. “That is not
education. It is deception. You have to be very conscious of this.”

Gandhi
said AI should be regarded “not as a master, only as an instrument” and urged
students to “let education come from life, not its artificial equivalent.” He
also called on universities to help students develop the ability to reason and
the spirit of democracy, and to produce ideal citizens, not merely ideal
graduates.

Reflecting
on Karnataka’s legacy, Gandhi told the graduates, “What a privilege it is for
you to belong to the state of Karnataka.” Marking National Handloom Day, he
invoked Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay’s contribution to the freedom movement and her
commitment to handlooms, gender equity, gender justice and human rights.

He
also referred to constitutional adviser B. N. Rau and Justice K. S. Hegde,
adding, “Becoming guardians of the Constitution is a responsibility that
automatically comes to you today.”

The
university conferred undergraduate degrees at a ceremony held on August 7 at
the Dr. P. Dayananda Pai Auditorium, Vidyashilp Academy, Bengaluru.

The
graduating cohort comprised 42 students from the School of Engineering and
Technology, 21 from the School of Business and Entrepreneurship, five from the
School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and two from the School of Design.

Aman
Kumar, who secured the highest CGPA in the B.Tech (Hons.) Computer Science and
Engineering (Data Science) programme, received the Chancellor’s Medal and
delivered the valedictory address.

The
graduating cohort’s work also included AI applications designed for public
systems. Aman Kumar and Amar Singh received special recognition from the jury
for an AI and machine-learning system that converts voice complaints into
categorised tickets, designed to help Indian Railways process customer
grievances. Olavu Chaluvaraju, Shreya Bikshavarthy Math and Joshitha S
developed a predictive AI model for GST analytics during a national hackathon.

Vice-Chancellor
Prof. P. G. Babu said the university had designed its
curriculum to prevent disciplinary silos. “At VU, our interdisciplinary way of
teaching is our greatest strength. Our students do not study in silos,” he
said.

The
university’s academic model combines a liberal arts core with majors, minors
and interdisciplinary centres, allowing students to connect fields including
AI, psychology, economics, law, finance, design and data science.

Addressing
the graduating students, Chancellor Dr. P. Dayananda Pai urged them to
become self-reliant, create jobs and remain relevant as the nature of work
changes. He said their aim should not simply be to consume knowledge, but to
create knowledge and new forms of thinking.

Dr.
Pai said Vidyashilp University had grown from 70 students in 2022 to
approximately 650 students, while its faculty strength had increased from 22 to
82 and its staff from 23 to 170. Around 70 per cent of its faculty members now
hold PhDs, he said.

The
ceremony was also attended by Pro-Chancellor Dr. Kiran Pai, Registrar T. R.
Ramakrishnan, members of the Board of Governors and Academic Council, faculty,
students, parents and other guests.

<title>Reimagining Rural Education: Hon&amp;apos;ble Governor of West Bengal Visits Help Us Help Them&amp;apos;s (HUHT) Adhigam Bhoomi to Witness Scalable NEP 2020 Implementation</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/reimagining-rural-education-honble-governor-of-west-bengal-visits-help-us-help-thems-huht-adhigam-bhoomi-to-witness-scalable-nep-2020-implementation</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/reimagining-rural-education-honble-governor-of-west-bengal-visits-help-us-help-thems-huht-adhigam-bhoomi-to-witness-scalable-nep-2020-implementation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ August
10, 2026 : In a major initiative aimed at transforming
rural education across the region, His Excellency Shri R. N. Ravi, Hon&#039;ble
Governor of West Bengal, visited Adhigam Bhoomi, the flagship residential
Centre of Excellence established by non-profit organization Help Us Help Them
(HUHT). The visit highlighted an innovative, field-tested model that
operationalizes the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020,
bridging mainstream academic curricula with practical rural skills to advance
the mission of Viksit Bharat 2047.

 The Hon&#039;ble Governor interacted directly with
1,000 tribal and rural girl students receiving 100% free residential education
as well as parents visiting from several districts across West Bengal. The
Governor toured live student-led learning spaces demonstrating 18 integrated
skill domains, centered on the Roti (Agriculture), Kapda (Textiles), and Makaan
(Rural Architecture) framework alongside renewable energy, technology, and
entrepreneurship, showing how experiential education is embedded directly into
core subjects like Mathematics, Science, and Languages.

Beyond
serving as a standalone residential campus, Adhigam Bhoomi functions as an
educational laboratory designed for systemic expansion. Help Us Help Them’s
contextual learning approach, titled &quot;Apni Mitti Se Judi Shiksha,&quot;
has already achieved proof of scale through its 100 Schools Project (Adhigam
Gram Shiksha Abhiyan), impacting over 10,000 students across low-cost private
schools in West Bengal.

To
support wider adoption, Help Us Help Them (HUHT) has developed a comprehensive,
ready-to-deploy implementation package, including teacher manuals, student
resources, assessment tools, and monitoring systems, designed to integrate
smoothly into existing State Board syllabi without displacing standard
academics.

Highlighting
the vision behind the initiative, Ms. Mukti Gupta, Managing Director at
Mukti Group &amp; Founder of Help Us Help Them (HUHT), stated: &quot;Our
core philosophy of &#039;Apni Mitti Se Judi Shiksha&#039; aims to provide an education
deeply rooted in local culture and traditional skills while preparing children
for modern livelihoods. By integrating practical, hands-on learning with
academic excellence, we are building a scalable ecosystem that fosters rural
innovation and self-reliance. These children will grow into rural entrepreneurs
who will return to their villages and communities to establish enterprises,
strengthen the rural economy, create local employment, and ultimately
contribute towards the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. We firmly believe that
skill-centric academics can transform rural India by empowering children to
become creators of opportunities rather than seekers of jobs.&quot;

As
the National Education Policy 2020 places strong emphasis on skill-integrated
learning over the coming decade, Help Us Help Them (HUHT) now aims to
collaborate with both the Central and State Governments to support its
effective implementation. With more than 12 lakh government schools across
rural India, including nearly 4 lakh schools serving Grades 6 to 10, the
organization envisions working through central-level advocacy, state-level
partnerships, and collaborations with local non-profit organizations to scale
this model. Help Us Help Them (HUHT) has already developed a comprehensive
roadmap and implementation framework, which it intends to present to the
Government to facilitate the integration of contextual, skill-based education
into government schools across the country with institutional support.

With
a long-term goal of empowering rural government schools across India by 2031,
HUHT&#039;s engagement with state leadership serves as a strategic step toward
strengthening civil society-government partnerships and supporting the
nationwide implementation of NEP 2020. By aligning grassroots learning with
national education priorities, the initiative seeks to nurture self-sustaining
learners, rural entrepreneurs, and future community leaders capable of driving
sustainable development in rural India. ]]></description>

<title>How Indian Craftsmanship Is Finding a Place in Modern Homes Through Thoughtfully Designed Solid Wood Furniture</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-indian-craftsmanship-is-finding-a-place-in-modern-homes-through-thoughtfully-designed-solid-wood-furniture</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-indian-craftsmanship-is-finding-a-place-in-modern-homes-through-thoughtfully-designed-solid-wood-furniture</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Indian homes have
evolved, and so have the expectations about furniture. While earlier buyers
looked at cost alone, consumers now ask if the furniture will last and look
good after twenty years.

This is exactly what
has motivated the formation of Lakkadhaara, a furniture brand that uses only
solid wood based on the tradition of woodworking in the Ramgarh Shekhawati
region and aims at growing this dream into reality by making a mark in
Rajasthan first and then in India’s solid wood furniture market.

According to the
company&#039;s expectations, the revenue will grow from above Rs 10 crore to Rs
22-25 crore in the coming fiscal year, with a longer-term target of Rs 100
crore in 2028-29.

Trusted by Thousands of Customers Across India

Founded in 2017,
Lakkadhaara has reached more than 10,000 customers, delivering over 15,000
wooden furniture units to Indian homes. The brand is slowly but surely making
its mark through a combination of old-world craftsmanship and contemporary
design and customer experience. Its growing presence in the premium solid wood
furniture segment has also been recognized through a feature in Forbes India Brand Connect.

India&#039;s premium
furniture market is shifting toward durable, thoughtfully crafted products over
mass-produced alternatives. The company Lakkadhaara was founded by Prashant
Meena, Subrat Bishnoi, and Kunal Meena and realizes the typical issues faced by
customers, including poor quality and ambiguous pricing. 

Through the integration
of age-old woodwork techniques along with the latest technology in
manufacturing, Lakkadhaara provides quality solid wood furniture along with
direct customer pricing, transparency in manufacturing processes, and
customization options for their valuable customers.

How Our Solid Wood Furniture Is Crafted for Long-Term Value

Handmade furniture has
become relevant again for a reason. Mass-produced furniture items apply the
same design over and over using machinery, fitting joints and materials for
their intended purpose but rarely for their longevity. Lakkadhaara takes the
opposite approach. 

The brand makes its
furniture items only with genuine solid wood, without any plywood or MDF, and
with no imitation wood that is made to look very fancy. The products use
materials based on their longevity instead of being chosen for their economy.

Every furniture item is
properly seasoned before it enters production and joined using traditional
techniques such as mortise and tenon and dovetail joinery, the same methods
craftsmen have relied on for generations, rather than nails, screws, or
adhesives doing most of the work.

&quot;At Lakkadhaara,
we do not just build furniture; we build pieces that outlive trends and get
passed down. Every joint, every grain, is a promise that this piece is meant to
last generations,&quot; said Prashant Meena, Founder of
Lakkadhaara.

Why Every Furniture Item Goes Through Rigorous Quality Checks

Every Lakkadhaara
furniture item is designed, crafted, and quality-checked in-house before it
reaches the customer. Design, production, and quality control all happen
in-house, across the brand&#039;s own units in Ramgarh Shekhawati and Jaipur, with
nothing outsourced along the way. 

That structure means
the margin usually claimed by retail middlemen goes back into better wood and
better craftsmanship instead, and it means every single furniture article is
seen by the same eyes from the first sketch to the final polish.

Before anything leaves
the facility, it works through a multi-point check: wood moisture and seasoning
verification, a joinery and structural stability check, surface finish and
polish inspection, hardware and fitting checks, and one last visual check
against the original order. Nothing gets boxed up until it has earned that.

Personalized Furniture for Modern Indian Homes

Not every home wants
the same table. Along with its already existing stock that includes lines like
the classic and traditional Marwari Antique collection, along with the modern
mid-century and minimalistic lines, Lakkadhaara also offers custom-made
furniture according to a client’s requirements. 

Its portfolio includes coffee tables,
sofas, study chairs, cabinets, cupboards, dining tables, beds, wardrobes, and
more. The brand also offers custom-made furniture, giving clients the freedom
to choose designs, dimensions, and finishes that work best for their space. 

This involves the
client working with a designer to decide upon the dimensions, the finish, and
other details, but since the process begins from scratch, it usually takes four
to six weeks. This is not considered a delay but rather the amount of time required
by quality craftsmanship.

The care continues past
the workshop door. A complete process has been laid down by Lakkadhaara for
each order, including order confirmation, production status updates, shipping,
tracking during logistics, and post-delivery assistance, in case something is
not right with the process. Free shipping, safe packaging, and replacement for
any damage in shipment complete the package.

According to the
company, two things come up again and again in customer feedback: solid wood
that holds up for years without warping or sagging, and honest, direct pricing
with none of the inflated MRP-then-discount routine common elsewhere in
furniture retail.

Discover New Arrival Furniture Items That Reflect Your Style

Every visit to Lakkadhaara
brings the promise of discovering something new. Alongside its signature
antique and heritage-inspired furniture, the brand&#039;s New Arrivals
collection introduces artistic handcrafted and hand-painted pieces designed for
today&#039;s homes.

Created by skilled
artisans, every piece celebrates the beauty of handcrafted and hand-painted
furniture, where age-old techniques find fresh
expression through thoughtful design. Through rich coloring, intricate designs,
and fine detailing, ordinary furniture is turned into art pieces that have the
unique appeal of being handcrafted.

Introducing the latest
collection of artistically designed furniture that is hand-painted especially
for the new contemporary homes. The unique cabinets along with the decorative
pieces of furniture speak volumes about the rich tradition of crafts that exist
in India.

How We Preserve Traditional Craftsmanship Through Modern Furniture

Lakkadhaara’s skill
sets involve the traditional craft community of Ramgarh Shekhawati artisans,
where these crafts were handed down to generations by uncles to their nephews
and fathers to sons. The company recognizes that there is now a threat from
mass-produced furniture and its growth will be linked to sustaining the
tradition instead of relegating it to oblivion.

In growing its
operations, Lakkadhaara plans to increase its production capacity in Rajasthan
and build stronger customer relationships in India directly while doing away
with retailing in between.

Meeting the Growing Demand for Timeless Furniture

Handmade and solid wood
furniture is not just a trend. There&#039;s a bigger story here too, one about
India&#039;s woodworking traditions, kept alive for generations by artisan
communities whose skills are at risk of being overshadowed by mass
manufacturing.

Brands that choose to
build around these traditions, instead of around speed and volume, help keep
that craftsmanship alive and economically viable. For Lakkadhaara, that would
imply sticking to its roots in tradition and designing products that are not
only functional but also ageless.

With Indian homes
constantly changing, it might happen that their furniture will be evaluated not
for its aesthetics, but rather by its ability to stand the test of time, and
also by the people who created it.

<title>Sara Tendulkar&amp;apos;s Mumbai Grizzlies Rise to Second, Peyush Bansal&amp;apos;s Delhi Sharks Stay on Top of Global E&#45;cricket Premier League Season 3</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

National, August 8, 2026:
The penultimate day of the league stage of Season 3 of the JetSynthesys’
Global e-Cricket Premier League (GEPL) witnessed exciting action with Sara
Tendulkar-owned Mumbai Grizzlies thrashing defending champions Chennai
Falcons to rise to the second spot while Nikhil Kamath’s Bengaluru
Badgers kept their chances alive by winning a last-ball thriller against Sonu
Nigam’s Kolkata Hawks even as Peyush Bansal-owned Delhi Sharks
continued to rule the roost at the top of the standings.

Season 3 marks the biggest edition of GEPL yet, expanding
from six to eight franchise teams with a marquee ownership line-up. Played
on Real Cricket™, which has crossed 400 million lifetime downloads, the
league carries a ₹3.1 crore prize pool and is being broadcast live on Star
Sports Select and Star Sports Khel, streamed on JioHotstar, while also
making its international debut across the United States and Canada through
Willow TV, via Willow Sports (its FAST platform) and Willow&#039;s
direct-to-consumer platforms in both markets.

The Sharks have 18 points from 12 games, two more than the
Grizzlies. Chennai Falcons are also on 16 points but trail last season’s
runners-up Mumbai by Net Run-rate (NRR). The day also witnessed the elimination
of Pune Stallions, Gujarat Wolves and Hyderabad Rhinos from the race to
the playoffs.

In the opening match of the day, skipper Mukesh Dodwani
produced an impressive all-round performance to help Hyderabad Rhinos Mumbai
Grizzlies a four-wicket defeat. Batting first, Mumbai posted 70/2 in their five
overs, with Jetha top-scoring with an unbeaten 24 off 11 balls.

Amit Mehta’s Hyderabad made a strong start to the chase,
with Sachin smashing 28 off 11 before he was caught while attempting another
big shot. His dismissal, however, did little to slow down the Rhinos as Mukesh
stayed till the end, scoring an unbeaten 38 to guide his side to a comfortable
victory. Mukesh also picked up a wicket with the ball and was named Player of
the Match for his all-round contribution.

The second game of the day produced a major upset as Sonu
Nigam-owned Kolkata Hawks stunned league leaders Peyush Bansal-owned
Delhi Sharks by 50 runs to strengthen their position in the top four.
Batting first, Kolkata posted the tournament&#039;s highest total of 89/2,
with Aditya leading the charge with a sensational unbeaten 58 off just 15
balls. He took the Delhi bowling apart with a power-packed display and signed
off the innings in style with a six. Aditya then completed a superb all-round
performance with the ball, claiming two wickets as Kolkata restricted the
league leaders to 39.

The third match of the day produced a thrilling finish as
bottom-placed Pune Stallions edged past Scout’s Gujarat Wolves by three
wickets. The Suniel Shetty-owned Pune&#039;s chase was set up by Koli, who smashed
31 off 12 balls, while Ankit chipped in with 22 off eight.

The fourth match of the day produced another thrilling
finish, with defending champions Chennai Falcons edging past Bengaluru Badgers
by two wickets to stay among the top four. Chasing, Deepak smashed an unbeaten
40 off just 15 balls and held the innings together despite losing wickets at
regular intervals. With nine runs needed from the final two balls, Player of
the match Deepak delivered under pressure, smashing a six followed by a
four to seal a dramatic victory for Chennai.

Already out of playoff contention, Pune Stallions registered
their second win of the day with a clinical five-wicket victory over Hyderabad
Rhinos, ending their playoff hopes. After restricting Hyderabad to 66/3, with
skipper Mukesh anchoring the innings with a 44 off 16 balls, Pune made light
work of the chase. Openers Sagar (24 not out of 8 balls) and Player of the
Match Anuradh Koli (43 not out of 17 balls) stayed unbeaten to guide the
Stallions home comfortably and complete a dominant day for Pune.

The next match, which was being billed as the &#039;El Classico&#039;
of the league, turned out to be an anticlimax as Sara Tendulkar’s Mumbai
Grizzlies outclassed defending champions Chennai Falcons by four wickets.
The Mumbai bowlers dominated the contest, restricting the Falcons to 43/4
before their openers Jetha (16 off 9 balls) and Davinder Singh (29 not out of
12 balls) batted the Falcons out of the game.

The last contest of the day saw Bengaluru Badgers survive a
thriller against Sonu Nigam’s Kolkata Hawks, securing a dramatic one-run
win off the final delivery. Batting first, Bengaluru posted 65/4, powered by
skipper and Player of the Match Manmeet Singh’s 34 off 13 balls. Kolkata
appeared to be on course for victory after losing their first wicket off the opening
ball, with Golden Kumar smashing an unbeaten 43 off 17 to keep the chase alive.
However, Bengaluru held their nerve in a tense final over to restrict the Hawks
to 64/3 and seal a win by the barest of margins.

<title>Punjab Takes a Landmark Step Towards Value&#45;Based Education</title>

Ludhiana Launches Maitri Sanskar
Value Education Programme in 12 Government Schools

Ludhiana, Punjab | August 8, 2026: In
a significant initiative to strengthen character development and holistic
education among school children, the District Administration, Ludhiana, has
approved the implementation of the Maitri Sanskar Value Education Programme in
12 Government Schools on a pilot basis for a period of three academic
years.

The initiative reflects Punjab&#039;s commitment to ensuring that
education goes beyond academic excellence to nurture values, emotional
well-being, responsible citizenship, and life skills that prepare children to
become compassionate and responsible members of society.

Recognising that education must develop both competence and
character, Ludhiana has emerged as a frontrunner in introducing a structured,
research-based Value Education Curriculum within government schools, in
alignment with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

The Maitri Sanskar Value Education Programme is an
initiative of MaitriBodh Parivaar Charitable Trust, founded under the
guidance of Maitreya Dadashreeji, whose vision of building a peaceful
and compassionate society places values at the heart of individual and societal
transformation. Rooted in the ethos of &quot;One World, One Family, One
Truth,&quot; the Trust has been working across education, social
transformation, health, environment, and community development to nurture
conscious and responsible citizens.

Today, the Maitri Sanskar Value Education Programme is
operational across 8 states, benefiting more than 20,000 students through
a structured curriculum that integrates values into everyday learning. The
programme combines student workbooks, experiential activities, storytelling,
reflective practices, teacher capacity building, and continuous mentoring to
help children develop qualities such as respect, empathy, responsibility,
integrity, gratitude, peace, self-discipline, and service.



As part of the Ludhiana initiative, participating schools
will receive student learning materials, comprehensive teacher training,
academic mentoring, classroom support, and ongoing monitoring and assessment
throughout. The programme has been designed to

integrate seamlessly with the existing academic timetable
without disrupting regular classroom teaching.

The District Education Officer will coordinate
implementation across participating schools, while teachers will receive
specialised orientation and continuous support to effectively deliver the
curriculum.

Teacher Capacity Building: To ensure effective
implementation, over 50 teachers from the participating Government Schools
underwent an intensive Value Education Training Programme conducted by the
Maitri Sanskar team. The immersive training introduced teachers to the
programme&#039;s experiential, child-centric pedagogy and the deeper meaning of its
five core values. They were equipped to deliver engaging values sessions
through storytelling, activities, reflection, and real-life application, while
seamlessly integrating digital resources and student workbooks to enrich
learning. Ongoing mentoring, classroom support, and academic guidance will continue
throughout the programme to ensure quality delivery and lasting impact.

Shri Himanshu Jain, IAS - Deputy Commissioner, Ludhiana,
Punjab -

&quot;Education must nurture not only capable minds but also
responsible and compassionate citizens. This initiative reflects our commitment
to holistic education and creating school environments where values become a
way of life. We look forward to this partnership making a meaningful difference
in the lives of our children and serving as a model for wider
implementation.&quot;

Mitra Jeev, Mentor - Maitri Sanskar and Direct Disciple of
Maitreya Dadashreeji -

&quot;At MaitriBodh Parivaar, values are not taught merely
as concepts, they are lived as a way of life. Through Maitri Sanskar, we seek
to create learning environments where children naturally imbibe compassion,
responsibility, integrity, and respect in their daily actions. We are honoured
to partner with the Ludhiana District Administration in this visionary
initiative and look forward to nurturing young citizens who will contribute to
a more peaceful, harmonious, and value-driven India.&quot;

This partnership represents a shared commitment between the District
Administration, Ludhiana and MaitriBodh Parivaar Charitable Trust to invest
in the holistic development of children and contribute towards building a
future generation guided by strong values, responsible leadership, and active
citizenship.

<title>Khushboo Guru Maa Turns Personal Struggles into a Mission of Compassion and Service for India’s Underprivileged</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/khushboo-guru-maa-turns-personal-struggles-into-a-mission-of-compassion-and-service-for-indias-underprivileged</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/khushboo-guru-maa-turns-personal-struggles-into-a-mission-of-compassion-and-service-for-indias-underprivileged</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi: In a society
where success is often measured by personal achievement, Khushboo Guru Maa has
chosen a different path—one defined by compassion, service and a commitment to
empowering people living on the margins of society. A member of the (Kinnar)
community, her journey from Bihar to Delhi and her subsequent work for
underprivileged communities reflect a life dedicated to restoring dignity,
opportunity and hope.

 

Born in Bihar,
Khushboo Guru Maa moved to Delhi at the age of 12, where she came under the
care and guidance of her Guru Maa. Growing up while experiencing social
challenges firsthand, she developed a deep understanding of the difficulties
faced by vulnerable communities.

 

Instead of
allowing those experiences to limit her, she transformed them into a mission of
service. Over the years, she has sought to channel the support she received
from society towards helping people in need, with her efforts extending beyond
the transgender community to underprivileged women, children and senior
citizens.

 

Her initiatives
have included providing shelter and support to homeless transgender individuals,
helping facilitate marriages for underprivileged young women, and supporting
vulnerable families during times of crisis. During the COVID-19 pandemic and
the floods in Punjab, she also led relief efforts across Bihar, Delhi and
Kolkata, providing assistance to people affected by difficult circumstances.

  

Bludoor
Foundation: Building a Platform for Social Impact

 

With a vision to
expand her humanitarian work and create sustainable avenues of support,
Khushboo Guru Maa established the Bludoor Foundation. The foundation
focuses on education, elderly care and support for vulnerable children and
communities.

 

One of its key
initiatives is Khushboo Gurukul, which aims to provide free educational
support to children raised by single-earning or widowed mothers. The programme
offers coaching across core subjects, English-language fluency classes and
basic computer training, helping children gain access to skills and educational
opportunities that can strengthen their future prospects.

 

The foundation is
also working in the area of elderly care. In Motihari, Bihar, an old-age home
is being established to provide shelter, food and medical care to approximately
40 abandoned senior citizens, offering them a secure, caring and dignified
environment.

 Expanding the
Mission Through New Infrastructure

 

As part of its
next phase of social initiatives, the Bludoor Foundation is developing a series
of facilities in Bettiah, Bihar, with a target completion timeline of December
2026.

 

The planned
projects include:

●     
Khushboo Gurukul, Bettiah: A
large-scale educational centre designed to serve up to 1,000 underprivileged
students with access to education and skill-development opportunities. 

●     
Khushboo Guru Maa Vridh Ashram,
Bettiah: A planned modern 40-bed facility dedicated to providing
shelter, food, care and dignity to destitute elderly individuals. 

●     
Khushboo Guru Maa Orphanage: A
proposed facility intended to provide parentless children with a safe
environment along with education, care and opportunities for personal
development. 

 

Through these
initiatives, Khushboo Guru Maa aims to create a support system that addresses
not only immediate needs but also the long-term development and dignity of
vulnerable individuals.

 

A Message Beyond
Social Barriers

 

Khushboo Guru
Maa’s journey represents more than an individual story of philanthropy. It
challenges conventional perceptions about the transgender community and
demonstrates how lived experiences can become a source of empathy, leadership
and social change.

Her work reflects
a simple but powerful belief: compassion should not be limited by gender,
social status or circumstance.

 

By directing her
efforts towards education, elderly care, child welfare, disaster relief and
support for marginalized communities, Khushboo Guru Maa continues to work
towards building a more inclusive society—one where vulnerable individuals are
given not merely assistance, but dignity, opportunity and a chance to build a
better future.

 

Through the
Bludoor Foundation and its expanding network of initiatives, her vision is
gradually taking shape as a broader movement of service, with the potential to
touch thousands of lives across India.

21 crore in Q1 FY26. EBITDA margins were at 21.2% in Q1 FY27 compared
to 23.7% in Q1FY26, this temporary compression was due to targeted
R&amp;D investments required to capture revenue expansion; margins will
stabilize as programs reach steady-state.

Our overall performance was bolstered by increased
production for leading global OEMs and product portfolio expansion.
Furthermore, easing supply chain headwinds, paired with our expanded capacity,

Precision Technology &amp; Auto Components:

Generated ₹ 444 crore in revenue in Q1 FY27, a 11.5% increase from ₹ 398 crore in Q1 FY26. This

headwinds, our strategic resilience allowed us to maintain steady growth. EBITDA

42 crore in Q1 FY26 on account of higher sales and operating leverage. The
EBITDA margin stood at 13.8% for the quarter vs. 10.6% in Q1 FY26. This
margin expansion was on account of volume growth, an improved product mix,
enhanced operating leverage and targeted cost reduction initiatives.

industrial sectors, capitalizing on the &#039;China Plus One&#039; tailwinds. By
combining integration synergies with sharpened operational efficiencies, we are
capturing significant business momentum both domestically and globally.

Raymond
Realty’s financial performance in Q1 FY27 continued with its robust momentum
and significant scale, with Total Income of ₹ 536 Cr in Q1
FY27 vs ₹ 392 Cr in Q1 FY26, a robust growth of 37% Y-o-Y, driven by
strong demand and a healthy delivery pipeline across all our projects. EBITDA
surged to ₹ 70 Cr in Q1 FY27 vs ₹ 41 Cr in Q1 FY26, a 70%
Y-o-Y growth driven by an optimized product mix. EBITDA margins were at
13% vs 11% in Q1 FY26, on account of expected seasonality and in line with
our expectations. Our margins naturally fluctuate by project phase and launch
timing, as initial profitability reflects upfront marketing and construction
setup costs. Margins will progressively normalize over subsequent quarters as
project construction crosses revenue-recognition thresholds. We remain
firmly on track to meet our EBITDA margin guidance of 17% - 19% for the FY27.

Strategic Portfolio &amp; Operational Review

Aligned with our strategic roadmap, securing the landmark
~ ₹8,500 Crore JDA project in Parel reflects our strategic
transition to an asset-light growth model. This milestone agreement accelerates
our expansion into South Mumbai, demonstrating strong confidence in the
enduring value of the city’s high-end housing sector. Our total portfolio is
now ~ ₹52,000 Crore in Gross Development Value (GDV), reflecting a
diversified and high-growth asset base across the MMR.

100 Acre Thane Land Parcel: Cornerstone
of our initial success, with a ~ ₹25,000 Crore revenue potential.

representing ~6.7 million sq. ft. of RERA carpet area and a revenue potential
of ~ ₹16,500 Crore

●     
Sales Milestones: Performance remains robust with ~ ₹9,400 Crore already
sold and Collections reaching ~ ₹7,460 Crore to date

JDA
Portfolio: The Structural Pivot to Asset-Light Growth,
which now comprises eight projects with a combined revenue potential of ~
₹27,000 Crore.

●     
Development Velocity: 4 JDA projects have been launched in Bandra, BKC, Wadala and
Sion, representing ~ 2.8 million sq. ft. of RERA carpet area and a
revenue potential of ~ ₹11,500 Crore. These marquee developments are the
flagship pillars of our JDA portfolio and a testament to our ability to scale
with speed and sophistication.

●     
Sales Milestone: Performance remains strong with ~ ₹2,900 Crore already
sold and collections reaching ~ ₹692 Crore to date

●     
Pipeline Visibility: The recent signings of two new JDA projects in Kandivali (~
₹3,000 Crore) &amp; Parel (~ ₹8,500 Crore) will further
solidify our presence in prime MMR micro-markets.

Performance
&amp; Liquidity

●     
Booking Momentum: In Q1FY27, we secured a booking value of ₹700 Crore,
propelled by unwavering demand for the Ten X, The Address by GS and
Invictus by GS brands across Thane, Bandra, BKC, Wadala and Sion continuing
to demonstrate exceptional market pull and buyer loyalty.

●     
Prudent Leverage: Maintaining a healthy balance sheet, we concluded the

0.7x comfortably below our 1.0x ceiling, providing headroom for future
expansion.

stable at ~9.60%.

For FY27
Guidance, Raymond Realty remains committed to a robust growth trajectory,
targeting ~20% growth in both pre-sales and revenue. We
are also focused on achieving a Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of ~20%,
and we remain firmly on track to deliver an EBITDA margin profile in the
range of 17%–19%.

entered FY27 with strong operational momentum, carrying forward the scaled

<description><![CDATA[ A new generation of
consumers is building fragrance wardrobes, discovering scent layering, and
choosing perfumes that reflect different moods, seasons and personalities.
They&#039;re looking for fragrances that feel elevated, memorable and emotionally
connected without necessarily carrying a luxury price tag.

The VANESA French
Collection is born from this cultural shift. Luxury fragrance is no longer
reserved for special occasions. Milk and &quot;lactonic&quot; perfumes are
trending because people want cozy, warm, and personal scents. Instead of sharp
flowers or heavy spices, these perfumes smell like cream, coconut, rice, or
warm skin. They melt into your body for a soft, comforting aura. The collection
brings globally inspired fragrances to the Indian consumer through scents that
feel contemporary, wearable and effortlessly feminine.

Jardin Des Rêves refers
to “Garden Of Dream” that  opens
with fresh notes of Pear Blossom, Red Berries, and Mandarin, before blooming
into Gardenia, Jasmine, and Frangipani. As it settles, Brown Sugar, Patchouli,
and Amber add a soft, warm finish. The result is a fresh floral fragrance with
a subtle gourmand touch—light, feminine, and easy to wear from day to night.

Jardin Des Reves Eau De
Parfum is crafted with a 15–20% fragrance oil concentration for a long-lasting
scent experience. The formula is IFRA compliant, made using French fragrance
ingredients by international perfumers, and is skin-friendly, cruelty-free, and
paraben-free, reflecting VANESA&#039;s commitment to quality and suitable for evening
&amp; date-night wear

Fragrance family: Fresh
Floral

Top Note: Pear Blossom,
Red Berries, Mandarin

Middle Note: Gardenia,
Jasmine, Frangipani

Base Note: Brown Sugar,
Patchouli, Amber

<title>7billboards Is Redefining the Boutique Agency Model for Modern Brands</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/7billboards-is-redefining-the-boutique-agency-model-for-modern-brands</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/7billboards-is-redefining-the-boutique-agency-model-for-modern-brands</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Noida, India  : Businesses today have more creative partners
to choose from than ever before. Global agency networks, boutique studios,
freelancers, and independent consultants all promise strategic thinking and
creative excellence. Yet many brands continue to face the same
challenge—finding a partner that combines strategy, execution, speed, and
accountability.

Large
agencies often bring scale and specialist expertise but can introduce multiple
layers between clients and the people shaping their brands. Boutique agencies
and freelancers offer agility and flexibility but may not always provide the
integrated capabilities growing businesses require.

Recognising
this gap,  7billboards  has built a
founder-led creative agency designed to combine the strategic depth of larger agencies
with the agility and ownership of a boutique studio.

Founded
by  Baljeet
Singh , 7billboards was created with the belief that businesses shouldn&#039;t
have to compromise between strategic thinking and personalised collaboration.
As the agency evolved,  Vaishnavi Agrawal  joined as 
Co-founder , strengthening
its strategic capabilities through her corporate brand experience. A graduate
of the  Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development
(SCMHRD), Pune , she previously worked as a 
Brand Manager at Titan Company
Limited , contributing to brands including 
Titan Raga  and  Zoop by Titan .

&quot;The challenge
isn&#039;t finding an agency anymore—it&#039;s finding one that&#039;s genuinely invested in
your business,&quot; says  Baljeet
Singh , Founder of 7billboards. &quot;Many
businesses feel theyhave to choose between strategic depth and personalised
attention. We believed there was an opportunity to bring both together.&quot;

Unlike
conventional agency structures, every engagement at 7billboards remains  founder-led
. Clients work directly with the leadership team from strategy through
execution, enabling faster decisions, clearer communication, and greater
accountability.

Today,
the agency offers integrated services across 
brand strategy, branding,
websites, UI/UX, content production, commercial photography, ad films, social
media, influencer marketing, public relations, SEO, and performance marketing
. By combining these capabilities under one strategic vision, 7billboards helps
businesses build stronger and more consistent brands without coordinating
multiple creative partners.

The
agency has collaborated on projects for brands including  Titan,
Fastrack, Purplle, Zomato, VIP Industries, and Atomberg , while also
working with businesses across  India and international markets .

&quot;Modern brands
don&#039;t just need vendors—they need partners who understand their business and
stay involved throughout the journey,&quot; says  Vaishnavi Agrawal , Co-founder of
7Billboards. &quot;That&#039;s the model we&#039;ve
built, and it&#039;s why we believe the future of boutique agencies lies in closer
collaboration, strategic thinking, and integrated execution.&quot;

As
the creative industry continues to evolve, 7Billboards believes businesses will
increasingly choose agencies not by their size, but by their ability to think
strategically, execute seamlessly, and build lasting partnerships.

About 7billboards

7billboards
is a founder-led creative agency based in 
Noida, India , working with
brands across India and global markets. The agency specializes in brand
strategy, branding, websites, UI/UX, content production, photography, films,
social media, PR, SEO, influencer marketing, and performance marketing.

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/galgotias-university-launches-future-ready-btech-and-bba-programs-with-accenture-learnvantage</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Greater
Noida, India : Galgotias University has entered into a
strategic industry-academia collaboration with Accenture LearnVantage to launch
a portfolio of industry-integrated undergraduate programs designed to equip
students with the technology, business and professional skills needed to
succeed in the age of AI. The collaboration brings together Galgotias
University&#039;s academic foundation and vibrant campus ecosystem with Accenture LearnVantage&#039;s
industry-led learning expertise to help bridge the gap between classroom
learning and evolving workforce requirements.

As
organisations increasingly adopt artificial intelligence, cloud, data and
digital technologies, employers are seeking graduates who can combine strong
foundational knowledge with practical, industry-relevant capabilities. To
address this need, the collaboration will introduce specialised BTech and BBA
degrees and establish an Accenture Centre of Advanced Studies on campus to support
these industry-integrated programs. The initiative is designed to provide
students with greater exposure to emerging technologies, contemporary industry
practices and experiential learning opportunities that enhance career
readiness.

The
program portfolio includes four BTech specialisations - Cloud and AI,
Full Stack Development with AI, Data Science, AI and Machine Learning, and
Design Engineering - and two BBA specialisations: AI-Integrated General
Management and AI-Powered Sales and Marketing. Students will benefit from a
structured blend of academic learning, industry-led content, hands-on projects,
virtual labs, interactions with industry experts, assessments and
certifications alongside the degree from Galgotias University on successful
completion of the program. The curriculum is designed to help students connect
classroom concepts with real-world applications while developing capabilities
aligned to the needs of modern enterprises.

A
key differentiator of the collaboration is its focus on developing
industry-ready talent through a holistic learning experience. In addition to
academic and technical learning, students will have access to career-readiness
interventions, including professional skills development, workplace
communication, industry mentoring, interview preparation and placement support.
This integrated approach is intended to help students build the professional
competencies, confidence and adaptability required to transition successfully
from university to the workplace.

Dr.
Dhruv Galgotia, CEO, Galgotias University,
said, “The future belongs to students who can adapt, innovate and apply
knowledge in real-world contexts. Our collaboration with Accenture LearnVantage
represents an important step in reimagining undergraduate education by
integrating academic rigor with industry relevance. Through these future-ready
programs, students will gain access to contemporary learning experiences,
emerging technologies and professional development opportunities that will help
them build successful and meaningful careers.”

Anurag
Bansal, Managing Director, Accenture LearnVantage, Asia Oceania,
said, &quot;AI is transforming every industry, increasing the demand for
graduates who combine domain expertise with AI fluency. Through these newly
launched academic programs, we are bringing industry-relevant learning into
engineering and management education, helping bridge the gap between classroom
learning and the evolving needs of employers. By combining technical, business
and professional skills with industry perspectives, we aim to prepare students
to apply their learning and create value in the workplace from day one.&quot;

<title>Peyush Bansal&#45;Owned Delhi Sharks Register Season&amp;apos;s Biggest Win to Storm Ahead in GEPL Season 3</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/peyush-bansal-owned-delhi-sharks-register-seasons-biggest-win-to-storm-ahead-in-gepl-season-3</link>

<description><![CDATA[ National,
August 7, 2026 : As Season 3 of the JetSynthesys’ Global
e-Cricket Premier League (GEPL) heads towards the business end, every point
has become crucial. Day 6 delivered some of the closest contests of the
tournament, as Peyush Bansal-owned Delhi Sharks cemented their spot at
the top of the leaderboard with the biggest win of the season so far against
defending champions Chennai Falcons. 

Season
3 marks the biggest edition of GEPL yet, expanding from six to eight
franchise teams with a marquee ownership line-up. Played on Real
Cricket™, which has crossed 400 million lifetime downloads, the league
carries a ₹3.1 crore prize pool and is being broadcast live on Star Sports
Select and Star Sports Khel, streamed on JioHotstar, while also making its
international debut across the United States and Canada through Willow TV,
via Willow Sports (its FAST platform) and Willow&#039;s direct-to-consumer
platforms in both markets.

The
Sharks - who won both their matches - humiliated the Falcons by 55 runs to take
their tally to 18 points from 11 games. Sara Tendulkar’s Mumbai Grizzlies
had a mixed outing but ensured the second spot with 14 points from 11 matches.
Third placed Falcons, who have played 10 matches, are also on 14 points, but
trail the Grizzlies on net run rate.

Nikhil
Kamath-owned Bengaluru Badgers brought the fans onto their feet by pulling
off a dramatic one-run win over Gujarat Wolves in a last-over thriller in the
opening match of the day.

After
being asked to bat, Bengaluru Badgers posted a competitive 70/2, with Rituraj
providing a brisk start with a 17 off just five balls before Player of the Match
Soumyadipta Biswas anchored the innings with an unbeaten 29 off 15 deliveries. Scout’s
Gujarat Wolves fought hard in the chase but were restricted to 69/2, as
Bengaluru held their nerve to seal a thrilling one-run victory and collect two
crucial points.

The
second match of the day produced another thrilling contest as Suniel
Shetty-owned Pune Stallions and Sonu Nigam-owned Kolkata Hawks battled to
break free from the mid-table logjam. Asked to bat, Pune looked set for a
massive total after Sagar (39 off 15) and Koli (29 off 10) stitched together a
69-run opening stand in just four overs. However, Player of the Match
Shubhankar turned the game on its head in the final over with the
tournament&#039;s fourth hat-trick, helping Kolkata restrict Pune to 70/4. Chasing
71, the Hawks held their nerve in a tense finish, with Aman (21 off 9), Golden
Kumar (32 off 13) and Jayesh (15 off 7) producing vital knocks to seal a
dramatic three-wicket victory off the final ball.

The
third match of the day gave Gujarat Wolves the perfect opportunity to bounce
back, and they grabbed it with a convincing three-wicket win over Amit
Mehta-owned Hyderabad Rhinos. Batting first, Hyderabad posted a competitive
67/2, with Sachin (18), Mukesh (24) and Manish (22) making useful contributions.
Gujarat made light work of the chase as Player of the Match Vikas smashed 39
off just 13 balls, while JD Bairad hammered 22 off seven deliveries in a
blistering 60-run opening stand. Vishal and Razin then completed the chase in
style to hand the Wolves an important victory.

The
fourth match of the day saw Delhi Sharks climb to the top of the leaderboard
with a four-wicket victory over Sara Tendulkar-owned Mumbai Grizzlies. Player
of the Match Akshat starred with an all-round performance, claiming two
wickets before smashing 37 off just 14 balls to lead Delhi&#039;s chase. The skipper
was well supported by Rohan (19 off 7) and Phani Kiran (18 off 8) as the Sharks
chased down 73 in style.

Sonu
Nigam&#039;s Kolkata Hawks completed their second win of the day with a
dominant five-wicket victory over Hyderabad Rhinos in the fifth match. After
bowling the Rhinos out for a paltry 34 in just 4.2 overs, the Kolkata side made
light work of the chase, with opener and Player of the match Aditya blasting 34
off only 12 balls to seal the win with 16 balls to spare. The defeat left
Hyderabad Rhinos&#039; playoff hopes hanging by a thread.

Sara
Tendulkar’s Mumbai Grizzlies bounced back strongly in their second match
of the day, registering a comfortable three-wicket win over Bengaluru Badgers.
Bhupendra laid the foundation with an impressive spell of 2/5 as Mumbai
restricted Bengaluru to a modest 50/3, with Rituraj (21) and Manmeet Singh (16
off 9) the only notable contributors. Chasing 51, Player of the Match Jetha Ram
anchored the innings with an unbeaten 36 off 16 balls as the Grizzlies cruised
to victory in the sixth contest of the day.

A
massive surprise was in store for the fans in the seventh game, a top of the
table clash between league leaders Peyush Bansal-owned Delhi Sharks and
second placed Chennai Falcons as the former dominated with both bat and ball to
humiliate the defending champions by 55 runs.

Batting
first, Delhi scored 69/3 before bundling out Chennai for 14 runs. Delhi openers
Akshat and Rohan gave the Sharks a promising start with some big hits early on
before the former offered a skier in the deep. Rohan continued to go after the
Chennai bowling to put Delhi in good stead before Nadeem took two wickets in
the final over to deny a strong finish for the Sharks. 

The
Chennai chase had a nightmarish start as Delhi spinner Chetan left them reeling
at 3/2 after the opening over. Phani Kiran picked up another two wickets in the
second over to virtually knock Chennai out of the game. A Delhi win was only a
matter of time from there on.

<title>Understanding Gold Loan Interest Rates: A Complete Guide to Smarter Borrowing with Muthoot Finance</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/understanding-gold-loan-interest-rates-a-complete-guide-to-smarter-borrowing-with-muthoot-finance</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/understanding-gold-loan-interest-rates-a-complete-guide-to-smarter-borrowing-with-muthoot-finance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Picture a small
business owner in Delhi who catches an unexpected shot at a discounted
inventory deal—provided three lakh rupees can be wired within two hours.
Parting with family gold ornaments at a jeweller&#039;s counter means losing an
appreciating asset forever. Immediate funding needs often require a financing
option that combines speed with a simple application process.

Pledging gold
jewellery for immediate cash offers a far more sensible path. Still, a gold loan depends entirely on the math
behind it. Interest is only one part of the picture. RBI guidelines, loan
terms, and the lender&#039;s valuation process also play an important role in the
overall cost of a gold loan.

 

What Determines
a Gold Loan Interest Rate in 2026?

A gold loan interest rate isn&#039;t a fixed,
one-size-fits-all figure. Lenders weigh market shifts and Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) mandates before pricing asset-backed credit.

Market valuation
serves as the primary anchor. Lenders track benchmark prices using standard
22-karat valuation formulas, taking whichever is lower between the previous
day&#039;s closing price and a 30-day moving average. Checking the published gold
rate today gives prospective borrowers a realistic preview of credit
eligibility before stepping into a branch, after appraisers account for stone
weights and purity variations.

Regulatory
Loan-to-Value (LTV) limits set strict caps on how much cash can be released
against assessed gold value. Official guidelines organize loan sanctions into
distinct tiers:

●     
Loans up to ₹2.5 lakh: Eligible for up to an 85% LTV ratio, giving small-ticket borrowers
maximum capital access.

●     
Loans between ₹2.5 lakh and ₹5
lakh: Capped at an 80% LTV ratio.

●     
Loans above ₹5 lakh: Capped at a 75% LTV ratio, requiring income verification and formal
proof of fund usage.

Keeping these
brackets in mind helps borrowers structure funding requests effectively.
Understanding the applicable LTV bracket beforehand helps borrowers estimate
the likely loan amount and plan funding requirements more effectively.

 

Repayment
Options: Bullet Payments vs. Monthly Servicing

The ultimate
interest bill on any loan depends heavily on the repayment route selected
upfront. 


 
  
  Feature
  
  
  Monthly Interest Servicing
  
  
  Bullet Repayment Scheme
  
 
 
  
  Payment Schedule
  
  
  Regular monthly interest payments
  
  
  Single lump sum at tenure end
  
 
 
  
  Tenure Cap
  
  
  Flexible up to 12-36 months
  
  
  Capped strictly at 12 months (RBI rule)
  
 
 
  
  LTV Calculation
  
  
  Calculated on principal amount
  
  
  Calculated on principal + total interest
  
 
 
  
  Total Borrowing Cost
  
  
  Lowest total accrued interest
  
  
  Higher compounding accumulation
  
 


Bullet repayment
plans allow a borrower to clear both principal and accumulated interest in one
check at maturity. While convenient for short-term liquidity, the hidden math
adds up fast. RBI regulations cap bullet repayment tenures for consumption
loans at 12 months. Under the revised regulatory framework, the overall loan
exposure considered for LTV compliance may reduce the amount that can be
disbursed under certain repayment structures.

Paying interest at
regular intervals can help reduce the accumulation of outstanding interest over
the loan tenure, depending on the repayment structure offered. Running numbers
through a digital gold loan calculator makes this contrast
crystal clear. A quick pass through a gold loan calculator shows exactly how
monthly servicing slashes effective borrowing costs compared to end-of-term
payouts.

Why
Institutional Trust Matters: The Muthoot Finance Edge

Pledging family
gold involves deep personal trust. Speed alone shouldn&#039;t decide where a gold
loan comes from. A fair valuation, clear loan terms, and secure storage of
pledged gold are just as important.

Working with a
regulated Financial Institution guarantees transparent appraisal receipts,
standardized interest schedules, and vault-grade safety. As an established
Financial Institution, Muthoot Finance remains a deeply trusted partner for
gold-backed credit across India, backed by decades of operational history and
strict regulatory compliance.

Beyond physical
vault security, Muthoot Finance provides tailored features designed for
practical borrowing needs:

●     
Online Gold Loan (OGL) &amp;
iMuthoot App: Borrowers can link pledged gold to an
active digital credit line. This enables 24/7 interest servicing and instant
top-up disbursements directly into bank accounts without visiting a branch.

●     
Muthoot Ultimate Gold Loan
(MUL) Scheme: Built for cost-conscious borrowers, this
plan grants direct interest rate rebates when payments are cleared on or before
monthly due dates.

●     
Complimentary Asset Insurance: Ornaments pledged with Muthoot Finance stay locked in high-security,
fireproof vaults backed by full insurance coverage at zero added cost.

Practical
Action Plan for Smart Borrowers

A systematic
approach keeps borrowing costs minimal while ensuring complete financial
control:


 Check
     Daily Benchmark Rates: Review the published gold rate today to estimate realistic
     borrowing limits based on net ornament weight.



 Model
     Outflows Early: Run projected numbers through a
     gold loan calculator to compare monthly interest servicing against bullet
     lump-sum choices.



 Look for
     Timely Rebates: Select incentive-driven plans
     like Muthoot&#039;s Ultimate Loan scheme to lock in lower net interest rates
     through punctual monthly payments.



 Insist on
     Itemized Appraisal Receipts: Make sure the lender
     provides an explicit purity certificate showing net weight, stone
     deductions, and exact karat ratings prior to signing.



 Set
     Payment Reminders: Servicing interest on time
     protects credit records and ensures pledged gold is returned within 7
     working days of final loan closure under RBI rules.


Conclusion

A gold loan
remains one of the most transparent, accessible, and fast-moving credit options
across Indian personal finance. By keeping track of live metal valuations,
utilizing a gold loan calculator to test repayment routes, and working
alongside a reliable Financial Institution like Muthoot Finance, borrowers can
secure quick capital without risking precious assets. Smart planning, clear mathematical
comparisons, and trusted institutional partners turn idle gold into a
dependable source of financial strength.

<title>How Sikar Hostels Is Transforming Student Accommodation in Sikar</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-sikar-hostels-is-transforming-student-accommodation-in-sikar</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-sikar-hostels-is-transforming-student-accommodation-in-sikar</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For
thousands of students arriving in Sikar every year to pursue their academic and
competitive exam aspirations, finding the right accommodation is often one of
the biggest initial challenges. From comparing facilities and locations to
verifying contact details, the process can be both time-consuming and
uncertain. As digital solutions continue to simplify everyday decisions,
platforms dedicated to student housing are becoming increasingly valuable,
helping students and parents make informed choices with greater confidence.

Launched
in  2023
,Sikar
Hostels is one such
platform designed to streamline the search for student accommodation in Sikar.
The platform brings together verified listings of boys&#039; hostels, girls&#039;
hostels, PGs, and other student accommodations, enabling students and parents
to explore multiple options through a single, easy-to-use portal. By
consolidating essential information in one place, the platform seeks to remove
the hassle traditionally associated with searching for accommodation in an
unfamiliar city.

With
more than  165 verified hostel listings , the platform caters to students
seeking accommodation near Sikar&#039;s major coaching institutes and educational
hubs. Each listing includes essential information such as direct hostel contact
numbers, Google Maps locations, available amenities, and other key details that
help users compare options based on their individual requirements and budget.

One
of the platform&#039;s key strengths lies in its focus on accessibility and
transparency. Rather than relying on multiple sources or intermediaries,
students and parents can directly connect with hostel owners, making the entire
accommodation search process more efficient. Regular updates ensure that users
have access to the latest listings and information, allowing them to plan their
stay with greater certainty before arriving in the city.

As
Sikar continues to strengthen its position as one of Rajasthan&#039;s leading
education destinations, attracting students from across India for competitive
exam preparation and higher education, the demand for organized and trustworthy
accommodation resources has grown significantly. Digital platforms dedicated to
student housing are now playing an increasingly important role in supporting
this growing ecosystem by making verified information readily available.

Beyond
serving as a hostel directory,  Sikar Hostels  aims to simplify one of the most important
aspects of a student&#039;s educational journey—finding a comfortable, safe, and
convenient place to stay. The platform covers a wide range of accommodation
options, including boys&#039; hostels, girls&#039; hostels, PGs, and student residences
located close to coaching institutes and educational centers, helping students
choose accommodations that best suit their lifestyle and academic needs.

Since
its inception, the platform has earned the trust of  more
than 10,000 students and parents , reflecting its growing role in Sikar&#039;s
student accommodation landscape. As more students turn to digital platforms for
everyday decisions, Sikar Hostels continues to bridge the gap between
accommodation providers and students by offering a reliable, user-friendly
experience.

<title>INA Solar rolls out &amp;apos;Azaadi Mahotsav 2026&amp;apos; campaign to push solar adoption</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/ina-solar-rolls-out-azaadi-mahotsav-2026-campaign-to-push-solar-adoption</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/ina-solar-rolls-out-azaadi-mahotsav-2026-campaign-to-push-solar-adoption</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Jaipur. Insolation Energy Ltd., known in the market as INA Solar, has kicked off a countrywide drive to get more Indians running their homes and businesses on the sun. The campaign, called &#039;Azaadi Mahotsav 2026 – Bijli Bill Se Azaadi Ka Jashn&#039;, is pitched squarely at households, businesses and industries looking to cut their power bills.
The company, one of India&#039;s bigger solar panel makers, says the effort is about spreading awareness on clean energy and spelling out the money that switching to solar can save. The larger goal, according to INA Solar, is to nudge consumers toward renewable power as a lasting route to energy independence.
Chairman Manish Gupta and Managing Director Vikas Jain framed the launch in the context of the country&#039;s wider energy shift. &quot;India is moving rapidly towards energy self-reliance, and solar energy is playing a pivotal role in this transformation,&quot; they said. &quot;Through &#039;Azaadi Mahotsav 2026&#039;, we aim to encourage more homes, businesses and industries to adopt clean energy solutions that reduce electricity costs while contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.&quot;
The two also pointed to the company&#039;s scale. INA Solar currently runs an annual solar module manufacturing capacity of 5.5 GW, and it&#039;s building on that. A new facility is coming up in Narmadapuram, Madhya Pradesh, which will add 4.5 GW of solar cell manufacturing capacity along with 18,000 metric tonnes a year of aluminium frame production. The company says the expansion sits neatly with the government&#039;s Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat push, and strengthens the domestic solar supply chain in the process.
On the product side, INA Solar makes TOPCon solar modules in the 500 Wp to 635 Wp range. These serve a broad set of buyers, from rooftop residential users to commercial and industrial projects, solar parks and solar pumps. According to the company, the modules are built for high efficiency, reliable long-term output and strong performance across different kinds of installations.
The campaign itself won&#039;t stay confined to advertising. INA Solar plans a mix of digital outreach and on-ground activities under the Azaadi Mahotsav 2026 banner, aimed at walking consumers through both the financial and environmental case for going solar. The idea is to reach people where they already are, online and in their neighbourhoods, and turn general interest in clean energy into actual installations.
For a sector that has leaned heavily on subsidies and policy signals, moves like this reflect a shift toward direct consumer persuasion. Whether the messaging translates into wider adoption will depend on how households and small businesses weigh the upfront cost against the promise of lower bills down the line. ]]></description>

<title>Beyond the Balance Sheet: Why the Modern CFO Must Focus on Enterprise Transformation</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-the-balance-sheet-why-the-modern-cfo-must-focus-on-enterprise-transformation</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-the-balance-sheet-why-the-modern-cfo-must-focus-on-enterprise-transformation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Not
too long ago, the Chief Financial Officer was viewed as the organisation&#039;s
financial custodian; the executive responsible for budgets, compliance, capital
allocation and financial stewardship. Today, that definition is rapidly
becoming obsolete.

As
enterprises accelerate their investments in AI, digital banking, blockchain,
intelligent automation and platform-based business models, finance leaders are
increasingly expected to shape enterprise strategy rather than simply report on
it. The CFO has evolved into one of the most influential voices in the
boardroom, balancing fiscal discipline with digital transformation, innovation
and long-term value creation.

It
is this changing mandate that has prompted Indian Institute of Management
Calcutta (IIM Calcutta) to launch the 8th batch of its Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Programme—a
reflection of both the programme&#039;s growing legacy and the continued demand for
finance leaders who can navigate an increasingly technology-led business
landscape.

A
programme that has evolved with the CFO role

As
the responsibilities of finance leaders expand, executive education must evolve
alongside them.

The
latest edition of IIM Calcutta&#039;s CFO Programme
introduces an enhanced curriculum designed around the realities of modern
financial leadership. While the programme continues to strengthen participants&#039;
expertise across corporate finance, governance, competitive strategy and
business leadership, it also places greater emphasis on the technologies
redefining the finance function.

Participants
are introduced to themes such as digital transformation, Industry 4.0,
Generative AI, design thinking and technology-enabled business models—subjects
that increasingly influence how finance leaders evaluate investments, manage
enterprise risk and enable organisational growth.

The
evolving curriculum also reflects the wider transformation taking place across
financial services. As digital banking ecosystems mature, blockchain applications
move beyond experimentation, and AI reshapes forecasting, compliance and
decision-making, finance leaders require capabilities that extend well beyond
traditional accounting and treasury functions.

Rather
than treating technology as a specialist domain, the programme positions it as
a strategic leadership capability.

Learning
from one of India&#039;s most respected institutions

The programme&#039;s sustained success over
eight cohorts is closely tied to the academic standing of IIM Calcutta itself.

Established
in 1961, IIM Calcutta remains one of India&#039;s foremost management institutions
and is recognised globally for its academic rigour and leadership in management
education. It is India&#039;s first business school to earn the coveted Triple
Crown accreditation—AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS—placing it among a select group
of business schools worldwide recognised for excellence across teaching,
curriculum and institutional quality.

The
programme also grants participants Executive Education Alumni Status,
connecting them to a growing network of more than 300 finance leaders from
previous cohorts. Combined with live faculty-led learning and campus
immersions, the experience extends well beyond classroom instruction into peer
learning and executive networking.

Preparing
finance leaders for what&#039;s next

Industry
research increasingly suggests that tomorrow&#039;s finance leaders will spend as
much time shaping business transformation as they do manage financial
performance.

Recognising
this shift, the programme&#039;s curriculum integrates
modules spanning organisational leadership, corporate governance, digital
transformation, business strategy, deep finance and design thinking. Through
case discussions, simulations and a capstone project, participants are
encouraged to apply these frameworks to complex business challenges,
strengthening their ability to lead across functions rather than within finance
alone.

As
organisations continue to navigate AI adoption, evolving regulatory
environments and technology-driven disruption, the expectations from CFOs will
only continue to expand.

The
launch of the eighth cohort is therefore more than another edition of a
successful executive programme. It reflects the continuing evolution of one of
the C-suite&#039;s most critical leadership roles, and the growing need for finance
leaders who are equally fluent in business strategy, emerging technologies and
enterprise transformation.

<title>60 Years of Empowering Women | 39 Years of Building an Ecosystem Where Entrepreneurs Thrive</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai,
(Maharashtra) [India], August 6 : For six decades, the IMC Ladies&#039; Wing has been
at the forefront of empowering women, nurturing entrepreneurship, and creating
platforms that enable women to transform their aspirations into successful
enterprises.

As
the IMC Ladies&#039; Wing celebrates its Diamond Jubilee year, it proudly presents
the 39th edition of the IMC Ladies&#039; Wing Women Entrepreneurs&#039; Exhibition
2026, to be held on 25th and 26th August 2026 at the Jio World
Convention Centre, Mumbai.

(Co-Chairperson), Radhika Kaji (Vice President), Anita Chouhan (President),
Pallavi Sahney Sharma (Chairperson), Jyoti Doshi (Past President), Rekha
Jhunjhunwala (Member). Standing left to right, Mithila Akre (Joint Director),
Preeti Rajadhyaksha (Member), Ayushi Gupta Mehra (Member), Alka Samant
(Member), Tarana Masand (Member), Poonam Bhambhani (Member), Chandni Kumar
Mehra (Member), Zarine Sanjana (Deputy Director).

Over
the last 39 years, the Women Entrepreneurs&#039; Exhibition has grown into one of
India&#039;s most prestigious and sought-after platforms for women-led businesses.
More than an exhibition, it is a vibrant ecosystem where ideas take shape,
collaborations are forged, and women entrepreneurs are empowered to flourish.

This
year&#039;s theme for the exhibition, &quot;Bees and the Hive,&quot;
beautifully captures the spirit of the IMC Ladies&#039; Wing&#039;s journey.

One
bee begins the journey. Together, they build a hive where extraordinary things
happen.

A
single bee may start the journey, but it is the collective strength of the hive
that creates something remarkable. Every bee contributes its unique abilities
to build a thriving and resilient community. In much the same way, every woman
entrepreneur brings her own vision, creativity, and determination to a larger
ecosystem of enterprise.

The
hive symbolizes the very essence of the IMC Ladies&#039; Wing—a community where
women come together to support, mentor, collaborate, and inspire one another.
It is a celebration of the belief that success is never achieved alone; it is
built through partnerships, shared experiences, and the extraordinary power of
women uplifting women.

This
philosophy resonates deeply with the Presidential theme for the year, &quot;Multiplying
Impact.&quot; Women have always been natural multipliers of knowledge,
connections, and influence. When women come together, conversations rarely
remain transactional; they become meaningful exchanges of lived experiences,
perspectives, challenges, and solutions. A single story shared by one woman can
spark confidence, ignite new ideas, or transform the journey of another,
creating a ripple effect that reaches far beyond the individual.

&quot;Multiplying
Impact&quot; celebrates this unique ability of women to
amplify value through meaningful connections. It recognizes women as catalysts
for transformation—within families, businesses, communities, and society. It
reframes women&#039;s influence as exponential rather than incremental,
acknowledging that every empowered woman has the potential to empower many
others and create lasting change across generations.



“Together,
‘Bees and the Hive’ and ‘Multiplying Impact’ represent the spirit of the
IMC Ladies’ Wing. Just as every bee strengthens the hive, every woman
entrepreneur strengthens our ecosystem through collaboration, mentorship,
innovation, and shared success. When women come together, they do not merely
build businesses—they multiply opportunities, knowledge, confidence, and
ultimately, multiply impact.”

This
year&#039;s Exhibition promises to be our most vibrant edition yet, bringing
together over 300 women entrepreneurs from across India, showcasing a
carefully curated blend of fashion, lifestyle, artisanal crafts, home décor,
gourmet delights, wellness products, and innovative brands that celebrate both
heritage and contemporary design.”

–
Ms. Anita Chouhan, President, IMC Ladies’ Wing

“Further
strengthening our commitment to nurturing talent and innovation, the IMC
Ladies&#039; Wing is proud to collaborate with the Fashion Design Council of
India (FDCI) to facilitate participation from eligible women members and
students, creating opportunities for emerging entrepreneurs and designers to
showcase their creativity while connecting with the industry.

The
Exhibition has always been about creating impact beyond business. In keeping
with this philosophy, the IMC Ladies&#039; Wing continues to support NGOs and social
enterprises by providing complimentary stalls, giving them a valuable platform
to showcase their products, initiatives, and causes. This initiative reflects
our belief that entrepreneurship must be inclusive and that empowering
communities goes hand in hand with building successful enterprises.”

–
Ms. Pallavi Sahney Sharma, Chairperson, WE Exhibition 2026 Committee

“Entrepreneurship
has the power to shape not just economies, but the future we leave behind. At
the heart of this year&#039;s Exhibition is a commitment to sustainability,
conscious innovation, and responsible business. From vegan and eco-conscious
brands to eco-printed textiles and environmentally responsible products, we are
celebrating entrepreneurs who are proving that purpose and profitability can go
hand in hand. The Exhibition itself reflects these values through the use of
green energy, responsible waste management, recycling initiatives, and efforts
to offset our carbon footprint. We hope every visitor leaves inspired by the
belief that meaningful change begins with the choices we make every day.”

–
Ms. Juveca Panda Chheda, Co-Chairperson, WE Exhibition 2026 Committee

As
the IMC Ladies&#039; Wing celebrates 60 years of empowering women and 39
years of building an entrepreneurial ecosystem, the Women Entrepreneurs&#039;
Exhibition stands as a testament to the transformative power of community. It
is a tribute to every woman who dared to begin, to every entrepreneur who
persevered, and to every dream that found wings through the support of the
hive.

Because
when women come together with purpose and passion, they do more than build
businesses. They build communities, create opportunities, and shape a future
where extraordinary things happen. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Featuring
Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh, the latest film under the &#039;Bharosa Tum Ho&#039;
brand campaign encourages Indians to embrace retirement as a new chapter,
supported by thoughtful planning.

New
Delhi, August 6, 2026 : Axis Max Life Insurance Limited, formerly
known as Max Life Insurance Company Limited (“Axis Max Life”/ “Company”),
recently announced the launch of its retirement campaign, encouraging

launching pad for their long-deferred dreams.

Anchored
by the brand’s tagline ‘Bharosa Tum Ho’, this retirement campaign highlights
how early, structured planning with Axis Max Life Pension Plans offers
guaranteed lifelong income, empowering individuals to step into their second

film featuring the brand ambassadors Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh in an
everyday moment discussing plans for future. By grounding the narrative in the

lifelong income provide the financial security individuals need to pursue
post-career goals.

Commenting
on the launch, Rahul Talwar, Chief Marketing Officer, Axis Max Life Insurance,
said: &quot;For many Indians, retirement planning centres strictly on basic
financial security, often overlooking personal aspirations. With this campaign,
we want to encourage people to view retirement as a beginning filled with
possibilities. Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh are the perfect fit to lead this
campaign as a couple who embody trust and partnership. Their genuine chemistry
brings the film to life, showing how a guaranteed lifelong income gives people

<title>Sara Tendulkar&amp;apos;s Mumbai Grizzlies Script Perfect Day as Chennai Falcons, Delhi Sharks Tighten Grip on GEPL Season 3 Playoffs</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/sara-tendulkars-mumbai-grizzlies-script-perfect-day-as-chennai-falcons-delhi-sharks-tighten-grip-on-gepl-season-3-playoffs</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sara-tendulkars-mumbai-grizzlies-script-perfect-day-as-chennai-falcons-delhi-sharks-tighten-grip-on-gepl-season-3-playoffs</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ National,
August 6, 2026: Sara Tendulkar-owned Mumbai Grizzlies’ Jetha starred
with two Player of the Match performances as the team enjoyed a perfect
Day 5 in Season 3 of the JetSynthesys Global e-Cricket Premier League,
while Chennai Falcons and Delhi Sharks strengthened their position at
the top.

Season
3 marks the biggest edition of GEPL yet, expanding from six to eight
franchise teams with a marquee ownership line-up. Played on Real
Cricket™, which has crossed 400 million lifetime downloads, the
league carries a ₹3.1 crore prize pool and is being broadcast live on Star
Sports Select and Star Sports Khel, streamed on JioHotstar, while also
making its international debut across the United States and Canada through
Willow TV, via Willow Sports (its FAST platform) and Willow&#039;s
direct-to-consumer platforms in both markets.

On
Day 5, defending champions Chennai Falcons are at the top of the leaderboard
with 14 points. They are ahead of second placed Delhi Sharks, owned by
Peyush Bansal, who are on the same number of points - due to a superior net
run rate.

In
the opening match of the day, table toppers Delhi Sharks saw off a spirited
fight by Suniel Shetty-owned Pune Stallions to carve out a nine-run win.
Batting first, Delhi Sharks posted 72/4 before dismissing Pune Stallions for 63
runs. Delhi lost their first wicket of the second of their innings. However,
Akshay and Player of the Match Phani Kiran (21 off 11 balls) produced some big
hits before the former was caught on the boundary. Although they continued to
wickets at regular intervals, the Sharks kept up the big hits to end at a
healthy total.

Pune
had a poor start, losing their first wicket in the opening over but Sagar and
Koli ensured a good foundation for the chase with a 30-run stand before the
former holed out in the deep. However, with Koli also returning to the pavilion
in the next over, things started to look bleak for Pune as they eventually fell
short by 9 runs.

In
the second match, Sara Tendulkar-owned Mumbai Grizzlies dominated with
both bat and ball to thrash Sonu Nigam’s Kolkata Hawks by 35 runs.
Despite a hattrick by Mayank - the third of the season - Mumbai rode excellent
batting by Player of the Match Jetha (33 from 12) and Sonu (36 off 10) to post
a challenging total of 77/4 after being invited to bat.

Kolkata
never got going in the chase, with only Aditya offering some resistance through
a brisk 26 off 11 balls. Regular wickets and the mounting required rate kept
the Hawks under pressure as they were restricted well short of the target.

Pune
Stallions&#039; playoff hopes were all but dashed after they suffered their second
defeat of Day 5, going down by three wickets to defending champions Chennai
Falcons in the third match of the day. Batting first, the Suniel Shetty-owned
Stallions posted a competitive 62/2, with Koli anchoring the innings with an
unbeaten 39 off 15 balls, while Ankit chipped in with a brisk 12 off six.

In
response, the Gopal Srinivasan-owned Chennai got off to a blistering
start, with captain and Player of the Match Sukhpreet Singh hammering 28 off
just 12 balls and stitching together a 42-run opening stand with Deepak (19
off 6). Even after Sukhpreet&#039;s dismissal, Deepak kept the momentum going
alongside Shivam, whose unbeaten 13 off six deliveries helped the defending
champions seal a three-wicket victory.

The
fourth match of the day saw Mumbai Grizzlies continue their impressive run with
a comfortable four-wicket win over Gujarat Wolves in the Western Derby. Batting
first, the Tanmay Singh-scouted Gujarat posted a competitive 67/4, thanks
to Vikas&#039; 31 off 13 balls and a late flourish from Vishal, who smashed 19 off
just five deliveries.

Mumbai
made light work of the chase as captain Davinder Singh (23 off 10) and Player
of the Match Jetha (40 not out off 15) stitched together a
blistering 50-run opening partnership to put the result beyond doubt before the
Sara Tendulkar-owned Grizzlies cruised home.

Chennai
Falcons completed a perfect day with a commanding 25-run victory over Amit
Mehta’s Hyderabad Rhinos in the Southern Derby. Riding on Deepak&#039;s
explosive 43 off just 19 balls, the Falcons posted a competitive 64/3 before
producing a disciplined bowling performance to skittle the Rhinos for just 39
and seal their second win of the day.

In
the final game, Kolkata Hawks humiliated Gujarat Wolves by four wickets to stay
alive in the competition. Batting first, Gujarat put up 66/2 in their five
overs. Vikas smashed 37 runs off 14 balls to put Gujarat on the way to a big
total.

In
response, Sonu Nigam’s Kolkata overcame some tense moments to run away with a
big win. Aman (27 off 10) gave the Kolkata chase a good start. Although
the Gujarat bowlers tried their best, it was not enough to stop the Hawks.

Therapy (HBOT), Cold Plunge, Infrared Sauna and expert-led care under one roof,
expanding Biopeak&#039;s personalised and longitudinal approach to preventive
healthcare. 

Bengaluru,
6th August 2026: India is still one of the world&#039;s youngest
large economies, with a median age of under 38. But beneath that demographic
advantage, a quieter shift is already underway. Fertility rates have fallen to
nearly 1.5 nationally, with some states recording rates as low as 1.2; lower
than Japan&#039;s. As birth rates decline, the conversation around healthcare is
beginning to shift from simply living longer to living healthier for longer.

Against
this backdrop, Biopeak, India&#039;s first full-stack precision health
and longevity company, has been building the infrastructure it believes this
shift will require. With the opening of its 14,500 sq. ft. flagship centre in
Indiranagar, the company brings together advanced diagnostics, regenerative
therapeutics, personalised, preventive and longitudinal care within one
integrated ecosystem. Building on the foundation laid at its Millers Road
centre, the flagship brings Biopeak&#039;s full-stack longevity model under one
roof.



The
centre&#039;s health optimisation and regenerative therapy suite is designed around
health outcomes rather than a standard wellness menu. It brings together
interventions such as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Cold Plunge,
Infrared Sauna, aquatic conditioning, Cell Gym and VO₂ max assessments,
each selected to address specific biological goals such as recovery,
inflammation, mobility, metabolic health and cardiovascular performance. Rather
than offering one-size-fits-all treatments, every intervention is prescribed as
part of a personalised, continuously evolving protocol informed by an
individual&#039;s biology and guided by Biopeak&#039;s multidisciplinary team of doctors,
systems biologists and health experts, helping optimise and sustain healthspan
over time.

&quot;India
is at the start of its own healthspan revolution, and Biopeak is building the
model this shift will demand,&quot; said Rishi Pardal,
Co-founder &amp; CEO, Biopeak.&quot;Healthcare has traditionally stepped in
once something goes wrong. But what we&#039;re learning through our growing client
cohort is that biology begins changing much earlier than symptoms appear, and
maintaining health requires continuous optimisation rather than episodic
intervention. In fact, fewer than 5% of the individuals we&#039;ve assessed
presented with completely normal biological profiles. That wasn&#039;t just an
interesting statistic; it reinforced our belief that the future of healthcare
lies in helping people understand, optimise and effectively manage their
biology over time. That&#039;s the philosophy we&#039;ve built into our flagship centre
and the model we intend to scale.&quot;

Shiva
Subramanian, Co-founder &amp; Chief Innovation Officer, Biopeak,
added: &quot;A flagship centre has to demonstrate the full model; not just
one part of it. Diagnostics, clinical interpretation and therapies work
together within the same ecosystem, allowing us to understand how a person&#039;s
biology changes over time rather than at a single point. Every recommendation
is informed by the latest scientific evidence, interpreted by a multidisciplinary
clinical team and adapted as an individual&#039;s biology evolves. Our commitment
isn&#039;t simply to provide diagnostic answers; it&#039;s to deliver one of the most
comprehensive understandings of an individual&#039;s health so they can optimise
their healthspan and quality of life over the long term.&quot;

The
expansion reflects Biopeak&#039;s Detect. Optimise. Regenerate. framework,
where diagnostics are the starting point of an individual&#039;s health journey. As
the company&#039;s flagship centre, Indiranagar will serve as the blueprint for
Biopeak&#039;s expansion into cities across India, bringing together diagnostics,
health optimisation, regenerative therapies and expert-led care within one
integrated model. Through this approach, Biopeak aims to make personalised,
science-led preventive healthcare more accessible while continuing to build a
deeper understanding of Indian biology and its role in shaping the future of
healthcare.

<title>BLUE unveils AI&#45;first video analytics infrastructure, targets 10X revenue growth by FY30</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/blue-unveils-ai-first-video-analytics-infrastructure-targets-10x-revenue-growth-by-fy30</link>

<description><![CDATA[  

Bengaluru-headquartered
AI startup BLUE (KGraph AI Solutions Pvt. Ltd.) today unveiled its
AI-native enterprise video infrastructure platform, built on the world&#039;s first
semantic codec for videos. Sematic codec is an AI driven compression technology
that encodes the meaning (semantics) of the video data. Designed for organizations
managing large-scale camera deployments, the platform transforms conventional
CCTV infrastructure into a searchable, AI-ready data layer, reducing bandwidth
consumption by up to 90%, lowering video storage costs by up to 10x,
and cutting compute requirements for semantic video retrieval by 5–10x, resulting
in up to 30-40% lower operational expenses. With enterprises increasingly
looking to operationalize video data using AI, BLUE expects the launch to
accelerate its growth trajectory and is targeting 10X revenue growth by FY30.


In
its first six months, BLUE has achieved production deployments with leading
conglomerates in India and the US, while piloting solutions in Africa and Sri
Lanka. In India, its solutions have been deployed across enterprises including
Britannia, Haldiram&#039;s, HPCL, CPRL (the McDonald&#039;s licensee for North and East
India), and Mumbai Aviation Fuel Farm Facility Private Limited (MAFFFL), among
others. The strong pace of adoption and positive customer response underscore
the platform&#039;s early market traction.

The
innovation comes at a time when statutory compliance mandates are driving a
sharp increase in enterprise video recording, thereby growing demand for
storage infrastructure, bandwidth, GPU compute, and energy efficiency. Industry
estimates indicate that video storage accounts for 40–60% of the total
surveillance lifecycle cost, while energy and cooling contribute another 10–20%.
AI-enabled surveillance deployments can further increase infrastructure
expenditure by 2–5x, depending on deployment scale and sophistication.
Therefore, managing high-resolution, multi-site surveillance environments has
become as much a networking and infrastructure challenge as a security one,
placing increasing pressure on enterprise IT teams to balance performance,
cost, governance, and compliance.

BLUE
addresses these challenges by fundamentally redesigning the enterprise video
infrastructure. Rather than treating CCTV footage as files that need to be
stored, streamed and manually reviewed, the platform transforms video into a
machine-queryable intelligence layer. Combining AI-native compression at
source, AI-optimised streaming, intelligent semantic storage, Retrieval
Augmented Generation (RAG)-enabled semantic indexing and an agent-first
architecture, BLUE significantly reduces storage, bandwidth, and compute
requirements while creating an interoperable AI-native video data lake that
seamlessly integrates with enterprise security and operational workflows.

Commenting
on the launch, Kunal Kislay, CEO, BLUE (KGraph AI Solutions Pvt. Ltd.) said,
“Today, more than a billion CCTV cameras are deployed worldwide, yet the
vast majority of video generated by these systems remains an untapped source of
enterprise intelligence. We believe this represents one of the largest
opportunities for AI to transform enterprise operations. What gives us immense
pride is that this breakthrough has been built in India, for the world. To
ensure transparency in our claims we have released a reproducible benchmarking
against public CCTV video databases results convincingly proving the BLUE
codec’s superiority over compression mechanisms like H264 and H265, reinforcing
the strength of India&#039;s research ecosystem in developing globally relevant AI
innovations. As enterprise adoption of this solution accelerates, we believe
BLUE is well positioned to support our ambition of achieving 10X revenue growth
by FY30, making the BLUE semantic codec the defacto codec for CCTV cameras
globally.&quot;

Mr.
Pradeep V., Group Manager - IT, Britannia Industries Limited touched upon the
versatility of the solution, saying “At Britannia, we
are using BLUE vision AI solution for applications in manufacturing and
warehouse operations. The compression technology within BLUE is helping us
onboard hundreds of cameras across sites on a common platform.”

Beyond
infrastructure optimization, BLUE also addresses two strategic priorities for
enterprises adopting AI at scale: data sovereignty and regulatory readiness.
As organizations increasingly centralize surveillance data and build AI-driven
operations, where critical video data is stored, processed and governed has
become a key business consideration. Developed in India, BLUE is DPDP-aligned
and enables enterprises to retain greater control over sensitive operational
data while supporting evolving data governance, privacy and security
requirements. By helping organizations process and operationalize video within
a controlled enterprise environment, BLUE supports India&#039;s broader ambition to
build indigenous AI capabilities and trusted digital infrastructure.

About
BLUE (KGraph AI Solutions Pvt. Ltd.): Founded in 2023 and
headquartered in Bengaluru, KGraph AI Solutions is an enterprise
video-intelligence company building AI-native infrastructure for large-scale
video and multimodal data. The company focuses on environments where CCTV usage
is extensive, including warehouses, retail stores, quick service restaurants,
logistics hubs, manufacturing facilities and public infrastructure, amongst
others. Its flagship platform, BLUE, is an AI-native video data lake
that combines semantic compression with domain-specific AI agents, enabling
organizations to transform CCTV and operational footage into compressed,
searchable and actionable intelligence for multiple use cases across
operations, compliance and decision-making.

<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
Maharashtra, 5 August 2026: Chandukaka Saraf Jewels, India&#039;s oldest
heritage jeweller, has announced the commencement of its bicentennial
celebrations, marking an extraordinary milestone of 200 years in the jewellery
industry. Commemorating two centuries of trust, craftsmanship and enduring
customer relationships, the company will host a special anniversary celebration
across its stores from 6 August to 16 August 2026, accompanied by
exclusive customer offers and the launch of a limited edition commemorative

<description><![CDATA[ National,
August 5, 2026: With the playoff race heating up, Day 4 of
Season 3 of the JetSynthesys’ Global e-Cricket Premier League delivered
seven high-intensity clashes that reshaped the points table with Peyush
Bansal-owned Delhi Sharks winning both their matches to displace defending
champions Chennai Falcons at the top of the points table. 

Delhi
are currently on 12 points while second placed Chennai are hot on their heels
with 10. Nikhil Kamath’s Bengaluru Badgers, who were fighting for
survival going into the fourth day, also won both their matches to jump three
rungs to the fourth spot on the eight-team table.

The
day’s action began with defending champions Chennai Falcons edged last season&#039;s
runners-up Mumbai Grizzlies by four wickets in a last-ball thriller to move to
10 points. Batting first, the Sara Tendulkar-owned Mumbai Grizzlies
posted 67/4 despite losing skipper Davinder Singh early, with Jetha smashing 36
off 12 balls and Subhendu remaining unbeaten on 21. Chennai&#039;s chase was
anchored by Player of the Match Shivam&#039;s composed 46. Mumbai fought back
brilliantly in the closing stages, but the Falcons held their nerve to seal
victory off the final ball.

In
the second match of the day, Bengaluru Badgers registered a comfortable
five-wicket victory over Suniel Shetty-owned Pune Stallions. Asked to
bat, Pune posted a competitive 63/3, built around Sagar&#039;s explosive 33 off 13
balls and Ankit&#039;s useful 17. Bengaluru made light work of the chase as captain
and Player of the match Manmeet Singh smashed an unbeaten 41 off 19
balls, while Rituraj chipped in with an unbeaten 23 off 10. The duo stitched
together a match-winning 64-run partnership to guide the Ankit Nagori-owned
Badgers home with ease.

The
third match of the day produced another nail-biting finish as Mumbai Grizzlies
survived a late scare to edge past Amit Mehta-owned Hyderabad Rhinos by
two wickets in a low-scoring contest. Opting to field, Mumbai&#039;s bowlers
dominated from the outset, with Bhupendra conceding just two runs in an over
and skipper Davinder Singh claiming two wickets to bundle Hyderabad out for
just 38 in 4.3 overs, one of the lowest totals of the tournament. Manish was
the lone bright spot for the Rhinos with 21 runs. In reply, Sara Tendulkar’s
Mumbai made heavy weather of the chase by losing wickets at regular intervals,
but Player of the match Rohit Rathod (19 off 9) and Sonu (11 off 10) combined
to take their side over the line.

The
fourth match of the day saw Delhi Sharks produce a commanding all-round
performance to outclass Scout’s Gujarat Wolves. Riding on a blistering
unbeaten 47 off just 15 balls from Player of the Match Akshat Koundal,
Delhi raced to 46 in the first two overs — the second-highest powerplay score
of the tournament — before finishing on 77/2. Gujarat responded aggressively,
smashing 40/2 in the powerplay to stay in the hunt. But Akshat returned with
the ball to claim two crucial wickets at the right time, swinging the momentum
back in Delhi&#039;s favour and sealing an impressive 18-run victory.

Bengaluru
Badgers continued their winning momentum with a convincing four-wicket victory
over Sonu Nigam-owned Kolkata Hawks in the fifth match of the day. The
win was set up by a sensational bowling spell from Player of the Match Swapnil
Superkar, who took a hat-trick, the second for the team this season, to return
outstanding figures of 3/3 and bowl Kolkata out for just 53 in 4.2 overs.
Bengaluru then made light work of the chase, reaching the target losing just
one wicket in only 3.3 overs to register their second successive win of the
day.

Despite
remaining at the bottom of the leaderboard, Gujarat Wolves kept their slim
playoff hopes alive with a hard-fought 13-run victory over Suniel Shetty-owned
Pune Stallions in the penultimate match of the day. Vishal led the charge with
an unbeaten 36 off just 14 balls as the Wolves posted a challenging 79/2. Pune
fought back through Koli&#039;s valiant unbeaten 47 off 18 deliveries, but the
target proved out of reach. Needing 20 off the final over, the Stallions lost
wickets in heaps against the experienced Saurabh, eventually finishing on 66/4.
Saurabh was adjudged the Player of the Match, for a hat-trick, and his decisive
spell of 3/4.

The
final match of the day saw Delhi Sharks complete a perfect outing with their
second win, defeating Kolkata Hawks by four wickets while chasing down a
competitive total. Asked to bat, Kolkata posted 67/2, courtesy of useful
contributions from Aman Vishwakarma (18 off 10), Golden Kumar (26 off 12) and
Aditya, whose unbeaten 21 off just seven balls provided the late flourish. In
reply, the Peyush Bansal-owned Sharks made light work of the chase as openers
Rohan (31 off 14) and captain Akshat (38* off 13) stitched together an unbroken
64-run stand to guide Delhi home comfortably.

<title>The &amp;apos;Underrated Club&amp;apos; Gen Z: Why the Most Misunderstood Generation Is Driving Fashion</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-underrated-club-gen-z-why-the-most-misunderstood-generation-is-driving-fashion</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Founder Abhishek Teri shares how Underrated Club was built
on the belief that today&#039;s generation isn&#039;t difficult to understand they simply
value authenticity, individuality, and quality more than ever before.

PUNE, INDIA, August
2026 : Every brand has a story behind its name. For Underrated
Club, that story begins long before the first t-shirt was designed or the
first order was shipped. It began with an observation.

Founder Abhishek
Teri noticed that one generation was constantly being defined by assumptions.
Gen Z was often described as impatient, distracted, or impossible to
understand. Yet the more he observed how they expressed themselves, the more he
realised those labels missed the bigger picture.

&quot;They&#039;re not
difficult to understand,&quot; says Abhishek. &quot;They&#039;re simply more aware
of what they want. They don&#039;t follow something because everyone else is doing
it. They question it first.&quot;

That belief became the
foundation of Underrated Club.

For Abhishek, the name
was never just about standing out. &quot;Underrated&quot; represents
people whose value isn&#039;t always recognised immediately. People who quietly keep
building until their work speaks for itself. &quot;Club&quot; represents
a community of people connected by that mindset. Together, the name reflects a
generation that is often underestimated but continues to shape culture in its
own way.

This philosophy
naturally influenced the kind of brand Underrated Club would become.

Instead of chasing
fast-changing trends or loud designs, the focus has always been on creating
clothing that people genuinely enjoy wearing. Oversized t-shirts, premium denim, cargos, shirts, and
everyday essentials are designed to balance comfort, quality, and versatility.
The goal isn&#039;t to create pieces that disappear after one season but products
that become part of someone&#039;s everyday wardrobe.

Abhishek believes this
reflects how young consumers shop today.

&quot;People often
assume Gen Z buys everything they see online. Our experience has been very
different. They&#039;re probably the most informed customers we&#039;ve seen. They
compare products, read reviews, notice fabrics, check the fit, and think
carefully before spending their money.&quot;

That shift has changed
the way Underrated Club approaches product development. Every collection begins
with a simple question: Would someone actually want to wear this again
tomorrow? If the answer isn&#039;t clear, the product goes back to the drawing
board.

The approach has helped
build something that every growing brand hopes for: trust.

Today, around 30% of
Underrated Club&#039;s customers return to shop again. For the team, repeat
purchases say far more than a one-time sale. They show that customers are
satisfied with the quality, fit, and overall experience, making loyalty one of
the brand&#039;s strongest indicators of growth.

The numbers reflect
that trust. In FY26, Underrated Club recorded 400% year-on-year
growth, with revenue increasing from ₹2 crore in FY25 to more than ₹10
crore. Denim, oversized t-shirts, and cargos emerged as the brand&#039;s
best-performing categories, while Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Pune became
its strongest markets. The brand also recorded an average order value of ₹2,500,
reflecting growing confidence in homegrown premium fashion.

For Abhishek, however,
those milestones are the outcome of staying consistent rather than trying to be
everywhere at once.

 &quot;We&#039;ve never tried to build a brand
that appeals to everyone. We&#039;ve focused on building for people who value
quality, comfort, and authenticity. When customers feel that a product
genuinely delivers on what it promises, they come back. That&#039;s how trust is
built, and that&#039;s been our biggest achievement.&quot;

The founder also
believes Indian fashion is entering a new phase. Consumers are no longer choosing
brands based only on logos or popularity. They&#039;re paying closer attention to
quality, design, and whether a product fits naturally into their lifestyle.
This has created space for homegrown brands that understand local preferences
while offering products that meet global standards.

For Underrated Club,
that shift is an opportunity to keep building with purpose rather than chasing
short-term trends. As the brand expands into new categories, reaches more
cities, and grows its customer base, the focus remains the same: creating
products that people are proud to wear and confident enough to return to.

In many ways, the name
still captures everything the brand stands for.

Underrated Club
isn&#039;t about being overlooked forever. It&#039;s about believing that recognition
follows consistency. It&#039;s about creating for people who define success on their
own terms, trust their own style, and don&#039;t feel the need to fit into someone
else&#039;s idea of who they should be.

Because sometimes, the
people who are underestimated the most are the ones quietly shaping what comes
next.

About Underrated Club

Underrated Club is a
homegrown Indian streetwear brand built around quality, comfort, and everyday
style. Known for its oversized essentials, premium denim, shirts, cargos, and
modern streetwear staples, the brand creates clothing designed for real life. Every
piece is made with a focus on strong fits, dependable fabrics, and long-term
wearability. With a growing community across India, Underrated Club continues
to make premium fashion more accessible while staying true to quality, comfort,
and thoughtful design.

New
Delhi, India:  In
an era governed by technology,  Mr. Gagandeep Singh built a clean web
platform. It joins tech, hotels, and deep customer service. This makes it easy
to find a wedding venue. He spent his career on this goal. He wants venue
selection to be easy, fast, smooth, and stress-free for families.

He
completed schooling from Kanpur. He finished his studies at Dayanand
Academy of Management Studies (DAMS). It is linked to CSJM University (Kanpur
University). He loves work and growth. So, he went for a PGDM in Retail
Management (Batch of 2012) at Jagan Institute of Management Studies (JIMS),

At
JIMS, he studied consumer behavior, retail plan, branding, marketing, sales,
and client care. After his post-graduation, Gagandeep saw how tech changed old
business models and user expectations.

Besides,
he comes from a family who runs a successful wedding and event decoration
firm in Kanpur. Even though he had experience, still he pointed out
certain flaws in the venue discovery process. It was not well organized,
and not available online.

Gagandeep
combined traditional skills with advanced technology. Back in 2013, even when
there was no online venue discovery system, he had this vision of creating one.

What
started in Delhi, has now become a popular wedding venue discovery site for
Indian families. VenueInDelhi helps family members search, view, and

ADOT by GNH, ZORA Convention, Nevaeh, Primulas and many other luxury banquet
halls, resorts, farmhouses and convention centres.

VenueInDelhi  puts
the client first.This helps the company establish long-term relationships with
its customers and hospitality partners.

it went beyond Delhi NCR. It is now available in Gurugram, Noida, Greater
Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Sonipat, Panipat, Ramnagar (Jim Corbett), Goa,
Jaipur, Udaipur, Pushkar, Alwar, Neemrana and many wedding destinations.

During
his career path, Mr. Gagandeep Singh shared:

«&quot;We
have always strived to help every family find the right venue for their special
day with transparency, expert advice and sanity. Technology should be used to
make things easier, not harder.

Gagandeep
believes retail is all about understanding people. He understood that trust,
user care, and relationships are very important. These are the core values of
VenueInDelhi.

He
has over 10 years of experience as an entrepreneur contributing towards
 the wedding and hospitality sector across the country.

With
time VenueInDelhi emerged as one of the trusted wedding venue consultation
platforms. It is backed by digital innovation, AI-powered venue discovery, and
partnerships towards a smarter booking experience.

He
believes that not every innovation is a new invention. It is about finding a
real problem and solving it with care, tech, and user focus.

He
penned this beautiful message for all the aspiring entrepreneurs:

&quot;Stay
curious, embrace technology, never stop learning from your customers, and never
underestimate the strength of your roots. With vision, integrity, consistency,
and perseverance, every challenge can become an opportunity to create
meaningful impact.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad - August 5, 2026: Creativity, art,
and digital entertainment... this is the new future of India&#039;s Orange Economy.
To accelerate Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#039;s Orange Economy vision, Gradiente
infotainment ltd, a leading entertainment and digital media company, has taken
a significant decision. The company is investing approximately ₹5,000 crore in
a phased manner to accelerate the Orange Economy vision.

 

At a meeting of the Board of Directors in
Hyderabad, the first phase of this ambitious plan was authorised. The company
will raise $110 million (about 1,050 crore) during the first round to improve
its digital infrastructure and content.

 

*Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Vimal Raj
Mathur, Managing Director (MD), Gradiente infotainment ltd, said, &quot;This
₹5,000 crore investment will be a game changer in making India a global
creative hub, taking the country&#039;s art and digital content to every corner of
the world, and creating new jobs. Amidst the ongoing digital revolution in the
country, the Orange Economy will become the biggest source of economic growth
in the times to come. Our special focus is on establishing a strong foothold
for Indian content in the emerging markets of Africa and Europe.&quot;*

 

*Announcement of construction of 200 new
projects:*

 

The company has announced two major projects,
expanding its content portfolio in which:

 

*100 vertical micro-dramas with a budget of
₹15 crore*

 

To satisfy the increasing demand for
short-form entertainment on social media, OTT platforms, and mobile apps, 100 vertical
micro-dramas will be produced. By March 31, 2027, the projects, which will be
filmed in places in Europe, Africa, and India, are anticipated to bring in
about ₹25 crore for the business.

 

*100 international music videos with a budget
of ₹50 crore*

 

One hundred new music videos will be produced
in order to increase its visibility on both domestic and international music
platforms. For this, a budget of ₹50 crore has been approved. By the end of
FY27, the business projects that these videos will generate about ₹75 crore in
revenue.

 

In total, the company will invest ₹65 crore on
these two projects and aims to generate a total revenue of ₹100 crore from them
by the end of FY2027.

 

According to Dr. Mathur, this large investment
will boost &quot;Brand India&#039;s&quot; visibility abroad in addition to giving
Indian inventors additional job prospects. Movies, OTT platforms, fashion,
advertising, music, and live events are all part of his vision for an
entertainment supermarket. The corporation hopes to improve &quot;Brand India&#039;s&quot;

<description><![CDATA[  

• The Group commits ₹150 crore investment
and plans 100 Daewoo Experience Stores across India by 2027

New Delhi, 04th August 2026: EBG Group has today marked a significant milestone in India’s
premium consumer appliances retail landscape with the launch of India’s first
Daewoo Experience Store in Ghaziabad. The state-of-the-art flagship showroom
signals the beginning of Daewoo’s next phase of growth in the country, bringing
the iconic South Korean brand’s legacy of innovation, technology, and
reliability closer to Indian consumers.

Spread across 3,200 sq. ft., the flagship
store has been inaugurated in the presence of representatives from POSCO
International, senior leadership from EBG Group, industry partners, dealers,
and customers.

Strategically located in Indirapuram,
Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh), the store has been designed as an immersive retail
destination where consumers can explore Daewoo’s extensive portfolio of major
home and kitchen appliances under one roof. The showroom showcases a
comprehensive range of products including refrigerators, washing machines, air
conditioners, dishwashers, microwave ovens, televisions, kitchen appliances,
and other consumer electronics—blending Korean technology with innovative
design and dependable performance.

The experience centre enables customers to
engage with products through live demonstrations, personalised consultations,
and dedicated after-sales support, reflecting EBG Group’s vision of building a
seamless and customer-centric retail ecosystem.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Irfan
Khan, Founder, EBG Group, said:
“The opening of India’s first Daewoo Experience Store marks an important
milestone in our journey to build Daewoo into one of India’s most trusted major
consumer appliance brands. We are proud to bring the legacy, innovation, and
technology of this iconic South Korean brand closer to Indian consumers through
an immersive retail experience. This store reflects our long-term commitment to
strengthening Daewoo’s presence in India while delivering world-class products
and superior customer experiences.”

The launch builds on EBG Group’s strategic
brand licensing agreement with POSCO International for Daewoo’s Major Domestic
Appliances business in India. Under this partnership, EBG Group is leading the
brand’s development, manufacturing, distribution, and retail expansion across
the country.

As part of its long-term growth strategy, EBG
Group has committed an investment of ₹150 crore towards product development,
retail expansion, strengthening distribution networks, localisation
initiatives, and the introduction of new appliance categories tailored to the
evolving needs of Indian consumers.

The Ghaziabad store marks the first step in
the Group’s ambitious retail expansion roadmap. EBG Group plans to establish
approximately 100 Daewoo Experience Stores across India by 2027, supported by a
robust omnichannel ecosystem that includes company-operated outlets,
direct-to-consumer platforms, e-commerce marketplaces, quick commerce channels,
general trade outlets, and leading electronics retail partners.

Aligned with the Government of
India’s Make in India vision, Daewoo products will be assembled
in India by EBG under licence using imported components, with localisation
levels expected to increase progressively. This initiative is aimed at
strengthening domestic manufacturing while generating employment opportunities
across manufacturing, retail, distribution, logistics, and after-sales
services.

Further strengthening its innovation
roadmap, EBG Group also plans to introduce DAEWOO One, an
integrated smart home ecosystem that will seamlessly connect multiple
appliances through AI and IoT-enabled technologies. The company will continue
expanding its portfolio of energy-efficient products, delivering smarter, more
connected, and more sustainable living solutions for Indian consumers.

<title>Collaboration, Inclusion and Entrepreneurship: How SIDBI MSME Samvaad Is Shaping the Future of India’s MSME Ecosystem</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/collaboration-inclusion-and-entrepreneurship-how-sidbi-msme-samvaad-is-shaping-the-future-of-indias-msme-ecosystem</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/collaboration-inclusion-and-entrepreneurship-how-sidbi-msme-samvaad-is-shaping-the-future-of-indias-msme-ecosystem</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

From
strengthening industry associations to empowering women entrepreneurs, SIDBI
MSME Samvaad explores how collaboration, knowledge-sharing and
institutional support are helping India’s MSMEs build resilient, future-ready
businesses.

India’s
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are central to the country’s
economic growth, contributing significantly to employment, manufacturing,
exports and innovation. Yet, building a sustainable enterprise continues to
present several challenges, including limited market access, technology
adoption, access to finance, business expansion and mentorship.

Addressing
these evolving needs, SIDBI MSME Samvaad brings together industry
leaders, policymakers and entrepreneurs to share practical insights and
real-world experiences that can help MSMEs navigate an increasingly dynamic
business landscape. Across its latest episodes, the programme explores two
interconnected pillars of India’s entrepreneurial ecosystem: the role of
industry collaboration in strengthening businesses and the growing contribution
of women-led enterprises in driving inclusive economic development.

Industry Associations:
Building Stronger Businesses Together

One
of the recent episodes, Industry Associations &amp; the Power of
Collaboration, explores how greater collaboration can unlock new growth
opportunities for India’s MSMEs. While many businesses possess strong technical
capabilities, operating independently can often limit their ability to scale,
negotiate better commercial terms and respond effectively to evolving market
demands.

The
episode examines how industry associations serve as structured platforms that
enable businesses to collaborate, exchange knowledge and collectively address
common challenges. By providing access to networking opportunities, policy
advocacy, business intelligence, skill development programmes, shared
infrastructure and market linkages, these associations help create a stronger
ecosystem for sustainable business growth.

It
also highlights the practical benefits of collaborative business ecosystems.
Collective procurement can improve bargaining power and reduce costs, shared
logistics enhance operational efficiency, while industry networks open doors to
new partnerships and business opportunities. The discussion further explores
how industry associations support MSMEs in leveraging digital commerce
platforms, improving export readiness and strengthening institutional
connections.

A
notable case study featured in the episode is Tekmak Industrials of
Coimbatore, illustrating how participation in industry networks helped the
company enhance its technical capabilities, adopt advanced manufacturing
practices and expand its export footprint.

The
episode also introduces the Development of Industry Associations (DIA)
initiative, a national digital platform designed to connect industry
associations across the country, encouraging knowledge-sharing, adoption of
best practices and stronger institutional support for MSMEs.

Empowering Women
Entrepreneurs to Lead India’s Next Growth Story

Another
recent episode focuses on Women Entrepreneurship, highlighting the
importance of creating an enabling ecosystem that encourages more women to
establish and grow successful enterprises.

The
discussion emphasises that entrepreneurship begins with identifying market
opportunities, developing business capabilities and making informed decisions.
It also explores the role of mentorship, continuous learning and professional
networks in helping women entrepreneurs navigate business challenges and build
resilient enterprises.

The
episode encourages aspiring women entrepreneurs to actively engage with industry
associations, entrepreneurial communities and institutional support systems
that provide guidance, networking opportunities and access to structured
learning programmes.

It
also showcases the range of government initiatives, capacity-building programmes
and institutional support mechanisms available to women-led enterprises. Beyond
financial assistance, these initiatives aim to strengthen entrepreneurial
capabilities, improve business decision-making and help women founders scale
their businesses in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

Building an Inclusive
and Collaborative MSME Ecosystem

Together,
the two episodes reinforce a common message: sustainable entrepreneurship is
built on collaboration, continuous learning and access to the right ecosystem.

Whether
through industry associations that strengthen business competitiveness or
initiatives that encourage greater participation of women entrepreneurs, the
focus remains on creating an environment where partnerships, knowledge-sharing
and institutional support become catalysts for long-term growth.

As
India moves towards becoming a globally competitive manufacturing and
innovation hub, initiatives such as SIDBI MSME Samvaad continue to
provide entrepreneurs with practical insights, real-world examples and expert
perspectives that support business growth. By promoting stronger industry
networks, encouraging inclusive entrepreneurship and fostering capability
building, the programme highlights how collaboration and empowerment can
together shape the future of India’s MSME sector.

<title>JetSynthesys’ Global E&#45;Cricket Premier League Season 3 Heats Up on Day 3: Chennai Falcons Stay on Top</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

National,
August 4, 2026: The third day of the Season 3 of
JetSynthesys’ Global e-Cricket Premier League (GEPL) witnessed seven
action-packed matches, producing dominant victories, dramatic finishes and
standout individual performances. Chennai Falcons continued to rule the
leaderboard with eight points followed by Delhi Sharks (8), separated by
net-run rate, while Sara Tendulkar-owned Mumbai Grizzles moved up to third with
six points followed by Sonu Nigam’s Kolkata Hawks and Amit
Mehta-owned Hyderabad Rhinos completing the top five.

The
day’s action began with the Southern Derby, where Chennai Falcons extended their
winning run with a four-wicket victory over Bengaluru Badgers, thanks to
an impressive all-round performance from captain and Player of the Match
Sukhpreet Singh.

Asked
to bat, the Nikhil Kamath-owned Bengaluru got off to a flying start
through a 50-run opening stand in just three overs. However, Sukhpreet turned
the game around in the final over, claiming two wickets for just four runs to
restrict the Badgers to 62/3. He then anchored the chase with an unbeaten 44
off 15 balls as Chennai reached the target with more than an over to spare.

The
second match saw Hyderabad Rhinos cruise to a five-wicket win over Scout’s
Gujarat Wolves. Gujarat managed 52/2 from their five overs after opting to
bat first, but Hyderabad made light work of the chase. Player of the match
Sachin Chavan set the tone with three successive sixes at the start of the
innings to slam 31 off 10 balls before skipper Mukesh joined in, helping the
Rhinos race to the target in only three overs.

Peyush
Bansal’s Delhi Sharks produced a dominant all-round performance to
outclass Chennai Falcons by 36 runs in the third match of the day. Put in to
bat, the Sharks posted a commanding 83/3, built around a blistering 52-run
opening partnership between Player of the Match Rohan Patel (44 off 12
balls) and Akshat (21 off 8) - the second-highest opening stand of
the tournament. Nadeem eventually broke the partnership, but Delhi had already
seized control. In reply, the Falcons struggled to get going against a
disciplined bowling attack and were bundled out for just 47, handing the Sharks
a comprehensive victory.

The
fourth match of the day produced a thrilling finish as Bengaluru Badgers edged
Mumbai Grizzlies by four wickets. Mumbai posted 69/3 after openers Davinder
(27) and Jetha (24) gave them a flying start with a 40-run stand in the
first two overs. Arnab&#039;s twin strikes checked their momentum in the latter half
of the innings.

Bengaluru&#039;s
chase was powered by a 68-run partnership between Player of the Match
Rituraj Giri (37) and Manmeet (30), putting them on course for
victory. Although Rituraj fell with one run still needed off the final ball,
Soumya kept his composure to score the winning run and seal a dramatic
four-wicket victory.

The
fifth match of the day produced an edge-of-the-seat thriller as Suniel
Shetty-owned Pune Stallions edged Hyderabad Rhinos by two runs to defend
the lowest score of 50 in this season. After being asked to bat, Pune suffered
an early collapse as Siddharth struck thrice in the second over to dismiss
openers Sagar (17) and Sourabh, before removing Ankit for a duck. Reduced to
23/3, the Stallions recovered through Netha and Koli, whose 25-run stand lifted
them to a competitive 50/4.

Hyderabad&#039;s
chase also got off to a shaky start, with captain Mukesh and Sachin Chavan
falling inside the powerplay to leave the Rhinos at 21/2. Manish (11) and Amit
(16) revived the innings with a 22-run partnership, but 22-year-old Kirti Lal
changed the course of the game by dismissing Manish before Amit was run out at
a crucial stage. With Hyderabad needing three runs off the final ball, Kirti
Lal kept his composure to secure a thrilling two-run win for Pune.

In
the next match, Mumbai Grizzlies registered a comfortable 17-run victory
over Delhi Sharks after posting 70/4 and restricting their opponents to
53/4. Player of the match Davinder gave Mumbai a flying start with a flurry of
boundaries, but Chetan struck twice in consecutive deliveries to halt the
momentum. Davinder continued to anchor the innings before Azan removed him for
a brisk 39 and picked up another wicket in the same over. Rohit Rathore then
provided the late flourish with an unbeaten 18 off just five balls, powering
Mumbai to a competitive total. Delhi never recovered from the loss of regular
wickets, slipping further after two wickets in the third over before finishing
well short at 53/4.

The
final match of the day saw Kolkata Hawks cruise to a five-wicket win over
Pune Stallions. Pune raced away with Sagar smashing 20 runs in the opening
over, but Kolkata captain Surjit turned the game on its head by striking with
the first two deliveries of the second over. Two more wickets in the final over
restricted Pune to 59/4. In reply, Golden Kumar (21) and Aman (39) made light
work of the chase, sharing an unbeaten stand to guide Kolkata home with three
balls to spare.

<title>The Rise of the Enterprise CHRO: Why HR Leadership Is Entering a New Era</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-rise-of-the-enterprise-chro-why-hr-leadership-is-entering-a-new-era</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-rise-of-the-enterprise-chro-why-hr-leadership-is-entering-a-new-era</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

As
AI reshapes work and talent becomes the defining competitive advantage, the Chief Human Resources Officer
is emerging as one of the most influential voices in the boardroom.

For
decades, business strategy revolved around capital, technology, and market
expansion. Today, another force has moved to the centre of every boardroom
conversation: people.

Artificial
Intelligence is redefining jobs. Hybrid work has rewritten employee
expectations. Skills are becoming obsolete faster than organisations can
replace them. Leadership pipelines are under pressure, while talent shortages
continue to challenge businesses across industries.

In
this new reality, the organisations that outperform won&#039;t simply be those with
better technology. They will be those that build stronger leadership, more
agile cultures, and future-ready workforces.

That
responsibility increasingly rests with the Chief Human Resources Officer.

The CHRO Has Entered the Boardroom

The
role of the CHRO has undergone one of the most significant
transformations in the modern enterprise.

Once
viewed primarily as the custodian of talent acquisition, employee relations,
and compliance, today&#039;s CHRO is expected to influence business strategy, shape
organisational design, lead enterprise transformation, develop leadership
pipelines, strengthen culture, and enable long-term business resilience.

As
organisations embrace AI, automation, and new operating models, HR leaders are
being asked questions that extend far beyond people management.

How
should work be redesigned for an AI-enabled workforce? Which skills will define
the next decade? How can organisations balance productivity with employee
wellbeing? What kind of culture sustains innovation during continuous
disruption?

These
are no longer HR questions alone. They are business questions.

People
Strategy Has Become Business Strategy

Technology
may create competitive advantage, but people determine whether organisations
can sustain it.

The modern CHRO sits at the
intersection of business, leadership, technology, and culture. They are
increasingly responsible for helping organisations navigate workforce
transformation, organisational agility, succession planning, mergers, digital
disruption, and leadership development while ensuring that talent strategies
remain aligned with long-term business objectives.

Success
in this role demands more than functional HR expertise. It requires business
acumen, analytical thinking, financial understanding, organisational influence,
and the ability to lead enterprise-wide change.

The
next generation of CHROs will not simply manage talent. They will shape
business outcomes.

Preparing
HR Leaders for Enterprise Leadership

Recognising
this evolution, XLRI Jamshedpur has introduced the Senior Executive Development Programme in Building Future CHROs,
an eight-month executive programme designed for experienced HR leaders aspiring
to take on broader strategic leadership responsibilities.

Designed
for professionals with at least ten years of HR experience, the programme
combines more than 100 hours of live online faculty-led learning with two
campus immersions, real-world case studies, business simulations,
cross-industry peer learning, and a capstone project focused on contemporary
organisational challenges. Participants who successfully complete the programme
also receive an XLRI certificate and become eligible to apply for Executive
Education Alumni Status.

The programme curriculum
reflects the changing expectations of the CHRO role, covering strategic HR
leadership, workforce planning, organisational design, talent strategy,
performance and rewards, leadership development, HR analytics, business
finance, operations, change management, industrial relations, and enterprise
decision-making. Rather than viewing HR as a standalone function, the programme
equips participants to connect people strategy with business performance.

A Legacy
That Has Shaped Generations of HR Leaders

Few
institutions have influenced HR education in India as profoundly as XLRI.

With
more than seven decades of excellence in management education and a
longstanding reputation as one of the country&#039;s most respected institutions for
human resource leadership, XLRI has consistently developed business leaders
who have gone on to shape organisations across industries.

That
legacy gives the programme relevance beyond the classroom. Participants become
part of an institution recognised for combining academic rigour with practical
leadership development, supported by experienced faculty, industry-focused
learning, and a powerful executive network.

The Next
Great Business Leader Can Come from HR

As
organisations continue to navigate AI, workforce disruption, and changing
business models, leadership itself is being redefined.

The
future belongs to executives who can align talent with strategy, culture with
transformation, and people with long-term business value.

In
many organisations, that leader will not simply be the CEO.

It
will be the CHRO.

<title>AI Will Enhance Human Capabilities, While Patient Capital Can Build Better Startups, Says Rakesh Sidana, Founder of Sidana Ventures, on The InCraze Podcast</title>

<description><![CDATA[ GURUGRAM, India, Aug 04, 2026 : Artificial
intelligence will fundamentally enhance human capabilities rather than
eliminate jobs, entrepreneur and investor Rakesh Sidana said
in a recent episode of The InCraze Podcast, hosted by Shivansh
Karanwal, where he also
discussed the growing role of family offices in startup investing and urged founders to prioritize
building sustainable businesses over pursuing higher valuations.

Speaking with the host on the episode, Sidana said concerns that AI will replace large sections
of the workforce overlook how previous waves of technological innovation have expanded
human productivity and created new opportunities.

“Every major technological shift has increased human capability. AI is no different. AI will
not vanish jobs, it will enhance human capabilities.” said the founder
of Sidana Ventures, and explained further that “AI should be viewed
as a productivity multiplier that enables entrepreneurs, professionals, and
businesses to solve larger problems more efficiently”. He has given an example
of “escalator in a high rising building” without which you can not reach the
40th floor of the building. He explained with examples about technologies that
have changed our lives.

Reflecting on India’s technological
evolution—from the early internet era to today’s AI-driven
economy—he said the current wave of innovation presents one of the biggest opportunities for
entrepreneurs and technology companies.

The discussion also focused on startup financing, where Sidana highlighted the increasing
importance of family offices as long-term investors.

Unlike traditional venture capital funds that typically operate within fixed investment cycles,
family offices can provide what he described as patient capital,
allowing founders greater flexibility to build businesses with a longer-term
perspective.

The conversation is part of an ongoing InCraze series
in which Shivansh Karanwal sits down
with founders, investors, qualified professionals, and people driving real change in their fields to
talk through how they actually built what they built, rather than the polished
version usually heard on stage. “I put a mic in front of people who’ve actually
done things, and ask the questions everyone’s thinking but nobody asks on
stage,” Karanwal said. “Rakesh has raised capital, built businesses, and now
backs founders directly—that’s exactly the kind of conversation InCraze exists
for.”

“Patient capital allows founders to focus on creating enduring businesses rather than
optimizing for the next funding milestone.” Sidana added
that while valuation often dominates fundraising discussions, founders should
instead concentrate on product development, customer acquisition, and
execution.

“Founders should focus more on building their business than negotiating valuation.
Strong businesses ultimately command strong valuations.”

According to Sidana, investors
increasingly evaluate startups based not only on financial
metrics but also on founder resilience, execution capability, governance, and long-term vision.

The episode also covered the impact of
AI on entrepreneurship, investment trends, venture studios, and how family offices assess early-stage startups—part of the wider range of founder
and investor conversations InCraze has been building out through 2026.

Rakesh Sidana, who has spent nearly
three decades building technology businesses and investing in startups, said AI represents another transformational technology comparable
to the internet revolution, creating opportunities for founders who embrace it
early.

<title>Tomorrow, Delivered Today: Amazon NOW brings the promise of speed to life</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/tomorrow-delivered-today-amazon-now-brings-the-promise-of-speed-to-life</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/tomorrow-delivered-today-amazon-now-brings-the-promise-of-speed-to-life</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The brand delivered Tomorrow&#039;s News Today.
Literally.

MUMBAI, 04 August 2026 : In keeping with its promise of instant
delivery, Amazon Now delivered tomorrow’s news today through a partnership with
HT City Foodies and Times Life.  The innovative initiative, conceptualised and
brought to life by GREY 82.5, transformed the brand&#039;s speed proposition into a
tangible experience, demonstrating how Amazon NOW is making &quot;tomorrow,
today&quot; a reality. 

For instant-need moments, Amazon NOW is
helping customers get everyday essentials delivered within minutes. The service
is designed around the growing expectation that shopping should fit seamlessly
into people&#039;s lives, making it easier to access what they need, exactly when
they need it.

The idea taps into a larger shift already
underway in how Indian consumers shop. Quick commerce has moved from convenience
to expectation, with more shoppers turning to instant delivery for spontaneous
and urgent needs, from groceries and fresh produce to everyday essentials. As
daily life gets busier, the gap between wanting something and getting it keeps
shrinking. Amazon NOW is built specifically for those in-between can’t-wait
moments, helping customers navigate every day with greater ease.

&quot;Business impact comes from ideas that
are both strategically sound and culturally relevant. By reinventing a familiar
consumer habit, we created a memorable expression of Amazon Now&#039;s promise&quot;, said Kamala Venkateswaran, EVP &amp; Head of
Business, Grey 82.5 Communications Pvt. Ltd

Anuraag Khandelwal, Chief Creative Officer,
Grey 82.5 Communications Pvt. Ltd. adds, &quot;The highest form of
advertising is when the medium itself becomes undeniable proof of the promise.
We didn’t just tell people Amazon Now is fast, we made tomorrow arrive today in
real life.&quot;

Looking
ahead, Amazon NOW plans to keep finding creative, tangible ways to bring its
speed proposition to life. As customer demand increases and India’s quick
commerce landscape matures, the brand remains focused on closing the gap
between desire and fulfilment, making convenience faster, simpler and more
within reach. ]]></description>

<title>A First for India: Vimal Wellness Launches India&amp;apos;s First 30ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil Pouch, Exclusively on Zepto</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/a-first-for-india-vimal-wellness-launches-indias-first-30ml-extra-virgin-olive-oil-pouch-exclusively-on-zepto</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/a-first-for-india-vimal-wellness-launches-indias-first-30ml-extra-virgin-olive-oil-pouch-exclusively-on-zepto</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Vimal
Wellness is betting that the biggest thing standing between Indian kitchens and
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is not taste or health awareness—it&#039;s the size of the
bottle. Its answer is a 30ml pouch, priced at ₹50, designed to let consumers
experience authentic Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil without the commitment of
purchasing a full-sized bottle.

Marking
an industry first, Vimal Wellness has introduced India&#039;s first 30ml Extra
Virgin Olive Oil pouch, launching exclusively on  Zepto
. Imported directly from Spain, the innovative single-use pack offers
approximately two servings and is designed to make premium olive oil more
accessible and convenient for Indian consumers.

A Familiar Name Enters a New
Category 

Vimal
Healthy Oils has spent more than thirty years earning a place in Indian
kitchens. Over the past three decades, consumer preferences, health trends and
the edible oil market have evolved significantly. Through it all, one thing has
remained unchanged—the trust millions of Indian households continue to place in
Vimal Oil’s name.



Now,
through Vimal Wellness—its wellness-focused brand and a growing name in India&#039;s
premium cold-pressed and gourmet oils category—the brand is expanding that
legacy into Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Rather than simply introducing another
premium product, Vimal Wellness is rethinking how consumers discover and
experience the category. Rather than asking consumers to make a significant
upfront purchase, the 30ml pouch is designed to make authentic Extra Virgin
Olive Oil easy to discover, experience and adopt.

The Problem Nobody Was
Solving 

Extra
Virgin Olive Oil has occupied an odd space in Indian kitchens for years. It&#039;s
respected — most people know it is considered healthier than many alternatives
— but it&#039;s rarely used daily. Yet in India, it continues to occupy a niche
position—respected for its quality but used sparingly, often reserved for
salads or continental dishes instead of becoming a regular part of everyday
cooking.

Two things have kept there.

The
first is price. For many first-time buyers, purchasing a 500ml or 1-litre
bottle of authentic Extra Virgin Olive Oil can be a difficult decision, especially
when they are unsure how frequently they will use it. The second is perception.
Many Indian consumers have grown up associating olive oil with Western or
continental cooking. That perception alone has kept an entire product category
on the sidelines of daily cooking, regardless of how health-conscious a
household might otherwise be.

Vimal
Wellness&#039;s approach to this problem is refreshingly literal instead of trying
to convince people to change how they shop, the brand changed the product to
match how people already shop.

What&#039;s Actually in the
Pouch?

The
innovation is in the format, not the quality. Every 30ml pouch contains the
same authentic Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil found in the full-sized bottle,
delivering premium quality in a compact, convenient pack designed for today&#039;s
consumers. It&#039;s imported directly from Spain, the world&#039;s largest olive oil
producer, and made from a blend of two olive varieties chosen specifically for
how they work together.

Arbequina  olives 
bring a smooth, fruity character with a mild sweetness — the kind of
gentle, rounded flavour that does not overwhelm a dish.  Hojiblanca 
olives add fresh herbal notes, giving the blend some depth and character
without tipping into the bitterness that puts off first-time olive oil users.

Together,
the two create a flavour profile that&#039;s deliberately built for the Indian
palate: balanced enough to feel approachable, but authentic enough to satisfy
anyone who already knows what real Extra Virgin Olive Oil should taste like.

Why a Pouch, and Why Now 

&quot;Indian consumers are
becoming more health-conscious, but they also value practicality. Our 30ml
pouch is designed for the way people actually cook and shop today — small,
convenient, and affordable without compromising on quality,&quot; says Priyanshi
Patel founder of Vimal Wellness.

This
philosophy lies at the heart of the product. As India&#039;s quick-commerce
ecosystem continues to reshape consumer behaviour, convenience, smaller pack
sizes and low-commitment purchases have become defining characteristics of
modern shopping. Consumers increasingly seek products that fit immediate needs
rather than requiring large upfront investments, and Vimal Wellness believes
premium olive oil should evolve in the same direction. Vimal Wellness is
applying that same shopping logic to olive oil, treating a 30ml pouch not as a
compromise but as the right-sized product for how people behave. 

At its
core, this launch reflects a broader shift in the way Indian consumers discover
and adopt premium products. The rapid growth of quick commerce has accelerated
demand for formats that reduce the barriers to trial—offering greater
convenience, lower upfront commitment and immediate accessibility. By
introducing a 30ml pouch, Vimal Wellness is applying this evolving consumer-first
approach to the premium olive oil category, making authentic Spanish Extra
Virgin Olive Oil easier to experience than ever before.

The
entry into the Extra Virgin Olive Oil category is not simply about introducing
another imported product. Instead, it reflects a different way of thinking
about how consumers discover, experience and adopt premium food products.

Rather
than asking consumers to adapt to the category, Vimal Wellness has adapted the
category to consumers.

The
launch reflects the direction in which premium food categories are
evolving—towards greater accessibility, convenience and consumer-first
innovation. But as a product decision, it reflects where many Indian consumer
goods are heading — smaller commitments, faster access, and a willingness to
meet consumers exactly where their shopping habits already are.

Exclusively on Zepto

The
30ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil pouch is available exclusively on Zepto. Consumers
can have the convenient single-use pouch delivered to their doorstep in
minutes, making premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil as effortless to purchase as any
everyday kitchen essential.

Vimal
Wellness&#039;s mission is to redefine how consumers experience healthier choices by
making premium wellness products more approachable and seamlessly integrated
into everyday life. ]]></description>

<title>The AI Revolution Has a Leadership Challenge No Algorithm Can Solve</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-ai-revolution-has-a-leadership-challenge-no-algorithm-can-solve</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-ai-revolution-has-a-leadership-challenge-no-algorithm-can-solve</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Artificial
intelligence has become the defining force behind today&#039;s business
transformation. From streamlining operations and enhancing customer experiences
to accelerating decision-making, AI is reshaping how organisations compete.
Yet, amid this technological shift, one reality is becoming increasingly clear:
the success of AI initiatives depends less on the technology itself and more on
the quality of leadership behind it.

While
AI can automate processes and generate insights at unprecedented speed, it cannot
define strategy, inspire people through uncertainty, or build organisations
capable of adapting to constant disruption. Those responsibilities remain
firmly in the hands of leaders.

This
is why leadership, not technology, is emerging as the true competitive
differentiator in the AI era.

The
Leadership Mandate Has Changed

For
decades, senior executives were expected to drive operational excellence,
financial performance, and business growth. Today, those expectations have
expanded significantly.

Leaders
are now tasked with steering enterprise-wide digital transformation, navigating
rapid technological change, preparing workforces for new ways of working, and
making strategic decisions amid increasing uncertainty.

The
challenge extends beyond adopting AI tools. Executives must determine where AI
creates genuine business value, how it should be governed responsibly, and how
organisations can embrace innovation without losing sight of culture, ethics,
and long-term resilience.

In
short, the modern leadership agenda is as much about transformation as it is
about performance.

AI
Fluency Is No Longer Optional

Contrary
to popular perception, AI fluency isn&#039;t about learning to build algorithms or
write code. It is about understanding the strategic implications of emerging
technologies and making informed business decisions around them.

Senior
leaders need the ability to evaluate AI investments, interpret data-driven
insights, assess risks, and identify opportunities that strengthen competitive
advantage. Equally important is the ability to communicate a compelling vision
that brings employees, stakeholders, and customers along on the transformation
journey.

As
organisations increasingly embed AI into core business functions, these
capabilities are rapidly becoming essential executive competencies.

Experience
Alone Isn&#039;t Enough

Many
experienced professionals have successfully navigated market cycles, economic
uncertainty, and organisational growth. However, the AI era demands an expanded
leadership toolkit.

Strategic
thinking must now coexist with digital awareness. Financial acumen must be
complemented by technology-enabled decision-making. People leadership must
evolve to manage hybrid teams, continuous reskilling, and organisational
change.

This
shift has fuelled growing demand for executive education that equips leaders
with contemporary business perspectives while strengthening the strategic,
financial, and organisational capabilities needed to lead through disruption.

Preparing
Leaders for the Next Decade

Institutions
such as the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow are responding to this
evolving leadership landscape through programmes designed specifically for
experienced professionals.

The Senior Leadership Programme
from IIM Lucknow, offered in collaboration with Emeritus, focuses on helping
senior executives strengthen strategic leadership, financial decision-making,
organisational transformation, innovation, and leadership effectiveness,
capabilities that are becoming increasingly critical in an AI-driven business
environment.

Beyond
academic learning, participants engage with accomplished peers across
industries, gaining exposure to diverse leadership perspectives and practical
approaches to solving complex business challenges. This collaborative learning
environment reflects the cross-functional leadership required in today&#039;s
organisations.

Leadership
Will Define the Winners of the AI Economy

Technology
may be advancing at an unprecedented pace, but sustainable competitive
advantage will continue to be created by leaders who know how to translate
innovation into business impact.

The
organisations that succeed over the next decade will not necessarily be those
with access to the most advanced AI tools. They will be those led by executives
who can align technology with strategy, balance innovation with responsible
governance, and build agile, future-ready organisations. As AI continues to
redefine industries, leadership itself is entering a new chapter, one where
strategic judgement, adaptability, and continuous learning will matter more
than ever.

For
senior executives, the question is no longer whether AI will transform
leadership. It already has. The real question is whether today&#039;s leaders are

<description><![CDATA[  

NEW
DELHI, INDIA : Innefu Labs, India&#039;s leading artificial
intelligence company in the space of National Security and creator of
indigenous platforms and multi-modal fusion systems currently deployed across
defence, intelligence, law enforcement, revenue intelligence, and large
enterprise clients, launched Sarvagata AI, a sovereign, on-premise Agentic AI platform
built for organisations where sensitive data cannot leave the building.

Designed
for defence establishments, law enforcement agencies, revenue intelligence
units, and large enterprises, Sarvagata AI is not a conventional AI assistant.
It is an autonomous intelligence infrastructure. One that thinks, plans, and
takes action, entirely within the secure boundaries of an organisation&#039;s own
environment.

&quot;The
most powerful AI tools in the world have, until now, been inaccessible to the
organisations that need them most. Not because the technology wasn&#039;t good
enough, but because it required something these organisations simply cannot
give: their data. Sarvagata AI was built to change that equation
permanently.&quot; - Tarun Wig, Co-Founder and CEO, Innefu Labs

The
Intelligence Gap That Sarvagata AI Was Built to Close

Across
every sector that Sarvagata serves, the challenge is the same. Organisations
sit on data powerful enough to transform how their most critical work gets
done, but cannot hand that data to any public AI system. The result is that the
most consequential decisions in the country, investigations, intelligence
assessments, financial crime detection, continue to rely on manual processes
that were never designed for the volume or complexity of the problems they face
today.

Defence
commands process all-source intelligence from SIGINT, HUMINT, satellite
imagery, field reports, etc. in formats and languages that outpace what any
analytical team can handle manually. Law enforcement agencies build
chargesheets from hundreds of evidence items, track case dates across national
databases, and profile criminal networks. Financial intelligence units face
thousands of transactions, complex money trails, and alert volumes that no team
can review comprehensively.

In
every case, the data exists. The intelligence exists. The answers exist. They
are simply buried under a volume and complexity that manual processes were
never built to handle.

What
Sarvagata AI Is

Sarvagata
AI is Innefu Labs&#039; sovereign, self-contained Agentic AI in a box platform that
delivers advanced AI capabilities entirely on-premise, with no cloud
dependency, no data leaving the organisation&#039;s boundary, and full air-gap
support. Deployed as a ruggedised hardware-software stack, it brings natural
language Q&amp;A, document summarisation, multilingual OCR, generative AI,
video analytics, speech-to-text, and OSINT processing into classified
environments including forward operating bases, naval vessels, and secure
intelligence facilities.

Coordinated
AI agents autonomously interpret intent, decompose complex tasks, and
orchestrate multiple AI capabilities across text, image, audio, and video, all
within the organisation&#039;s own infrastructure. Built on a modular microservices
architecture with end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and
domain-specific model fine-tuning support, Sarvagata ensures complete sovereignty
at every layer: compute, data, model, and output. 

Applications
Across India&#039;s Most Critical Sectors

Defence
and Intelligence: For defence establishments and intelligence
agencies operating in classified, air-gapped environments, Sarvagata AI
delivers what no cloud platform can. Agents ingest field reports, intercepts,
and multi-source intelligence simultaneously, producing complete situation
reports in minutes. Logistics agents predict supply and equipment requirements
for forward units before shortfalls occur. Infrastructure monitoring agents
continuously analyse satellite and field data, detecting changes in critical
border areas and surfacing adversary signals before they translate into
operational action.

Law
Enforcement: For Indian police forces, Sarvagata AI
addresses the documentation burden that keeps officers at their desks when they
are needed in the field. Agents correlate evidence across FIRs, witness
statements, call records, and forensic reports to generate court-ready
chargesheet drafts with the correct legal sections applied. A second agent,
assigned the role of defence counsel, stress-tests every argument before it
reaches court. Criminal profiling agents unify CCTNS, NCRB, and case diary
data, matching suspects through facial recognition and mapping associate
networks in seconds. Predictive policing agents generate crime heatmaps and
deployment recommendations, shifting law enforcement from reactive response to
strategic positioning.

Financial
and Revenue Intelligence: For financial intelligence and revenue
agencies, Sarvagata AI operates at the intersection of volume and precision.
Agents read filings, cross-reference income data, GST returns, and transaction
records simultaneously, surfacing every discrepancy automatically in clean, structured
format. When a money trail needs to be followed, agents trace transactions
across accounts, entities, and jurisdictions, mapping exactly how money moved
and through which hands. Integrated with Innefu&#039;s deep web intelligence
capability, hawala networks, cryptocurrency trails, and underground financial
communications are monitored continuously, surfacing intelligence no manual
investigation could reach at scale.

Built
for Every Workflow. Limitless in Scope.

What
makes Sarvagata AI fundamentally different from any other platform is not any
single capability. It is the architecture that makes any capability possible.

Agents
can be assigned any role, any persona, any domain expertise, and built to
collaborate in teams that plan, execute, validate, and deliver across any
workflow an organisation runs. The platform arrives as a complete,
plug-and-play hardware-software stack, operational from day one.

Through
MCP server integration, Sarvagata&#039;s capabilities extend to any tool or API.
Through its integration with Innefu&#039;s broader intelligence platforms, it
becomes a unified operational intelligence layer across every data type an
organisation works with. Learn more about Sarvagata AI.

<title>BullishStocks.in Introduces a Data&#45;Driven Approach to Market Analysis, Shifting Focus from Labels to Probability</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/bullishstocksin-introduces-a-data-driven-approach-to-market-analysis-shifting-focus-from-labels-to-probability</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/bullishstocksin-introduces-a-data-driven-approach-to-market-analysis-shifting-focus-from-labels-to-probability</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

India,
August 3, 2026: As retail participation in India&#039;s stock
markets continues to grow, BullishStocks.in is advocating a more objective
approach to understanding market trends by encouraging traders and investors to
rely on probability and data instead of conventional &quot;bullish&quot; or
&quot;bearish&quot; labels.

Founded
on the belief that one of the biggest challenges in trading is filtering market
noise rather than predicting every price movement, BullishStocks.in aims to
help market participants make informed decisions through data-backed insights.
The platform is built around the idea that market trends should be quantified
using probability, enabling traders to evaluate market conditions with greater
clarity and consistency.

The
philosophy behind BullishStocks.in emerged from the founder&#039;s own trading
journey, which revealed that successful investing begins with understanding
what the market is actually doing rather than reacting to opinions, news,
social media discussions or predictions. By focusing on objective analysis,
traders can build stronger strategies and improve their execution while
adapting to changing market conditions.

Speaking
about the vision behind the platform, the founder of BullishStocks.in said:

&quot;When I began
trading, I believed the hardest part was predicting the market. Over time, I
realised the real challenge was understanding what the market was actually
doing without getting influenced by the constant flow of opinions and noise.
That led me to move beyond simply calling markets bullish or bearish and
instead focus on measuring trends using probability. BullishStocks.in was
created to help traders and investors evaluate market conditions objectively
and validate their own market thesis through data.&quot;

The
platform is designed around a three-layer framework that emphasises objective
market understanding, strategy development and disciplined execution. According
to the company, the first layer—understanding the market objectively—is the
foundation upon which successful trading decisions are built. Without it, even
well-designed strategies may struggle to deliver consistent outcomes.

BullishStocks.in
leverages technology and artificial intelligence to simplify the growing volume
of market information available to investors. Rather than replacing human
judgment, the platform seeks to reduce information overload by providing
structured, probability-based insights that help users independently assess
market conditions.

The
company emphasises that BullishStocks.in is not intended to provide buy or sell
recommendations. Instead, it is designed as a market intelligence platform that
enables traders and investors to ask a more meaningful question: &quot;Does
the data support my market thesis?&quot;

By
encouraging a data-first mindset, BullishStocks.in aims to contribute to the
broader community of serious market participants seeking greater clarity,
disciplined decision-making and a more systematic approach to investing.

As
financial markets continue to evolve, the company believes that while
uncertainty will always remain a defining characteristic of investing, the way
investors understand and interpret market conditions can become significantly
more objective through the intelligent use of data and probability.

About
BullishStocks.in

BullishStocks.in
is a market intelligence platform focused on helping traders and investors
analyse market trends through data, probability and technology-driven insights.
By combining quantitative analysis with AI-powered tools, the platform seeks to
reduce market noise, improve decision-making and empower users to independently
validate their investment ideas instead of relying solely on market opinions. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
August 03: The 190-year-old Bombay Chamber of Commerce
&amp; Industry announced the winners of the fourth edition of the Bombay
Chamber Inclusion Awards 2026 at a glittering Nite last evening at ITC Grand
Central Parel Mumbai, With Deloitte as its Knowledge Partner for the Awards,
the Chamber reinforced its continued commitment to fostering a culture of
diversity, equity, and inclusion within corporate India.

Amazon
Seller Services Ltd, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd and Godrej Properties Ltd won
the Marquee Best of the Best Award. Other leading organisations who won included
Tech Mahindra, Axis Bank, Deutsche Bank Group, India, The New India Assurance
Company Limited, Oil India ltd, HDFC Life Insurance Company Limited, CG Power
and Industrial Solutions Limited, The Indian Hotels Company Limited. In the
MSME sector Harkesh Rubber LLP, The Vits Kamats Group, HAB Pharmaceuticals
&amp; Research Ltd and Ubisoft India Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. This year the
Awards were segmented sectorwise – Tech, Media &amp; Telecom; BFSI; Consumer
&amp; Life Sciences; Energy, Resources &amp; Industrials; and MSME.

In
his Welcome Address at the Awards, Rajiv Anand, immediate past President,
Bombay Chamber, and MD &amp; CEO, IndusInd Bank Ltd said, “When the Bombay
Chamber instituted these Awards four years ago, we did so with a clear
conviction: that inclusion is not an act of charity, nor a compliance
requirement — it is a strategic imperative for building stronger businesses,
resilient institutions, and a more equitable society. Today, as we gather for
the fourth edition, it is heartening to see how this vision has grown into a
vibrant community of changemakers who are proving that inclusive organisations
are also more resilient, innovative and future-ready.”



The
Awards Nite saw two powerhouse panel discussions. The Inclusion Dialogue was
led by Meenakshi Priyam, Chair, DEI Committee, Bombay Chamber &amp; SVP and
Head of HR, Auto, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Ltd had Rajiv Anand; P.D. Singh, CEO
– India &amp; South Asia, Standard Chartered Bank and Sathish Gopalaiah,
President, Consulting Business, Deloitte South Asia as the panelists. Singh,
who was on the Jury panel for the Awards pointed out that, “The most inspiring
part of this journey was seeing organisations move beyond good intentions to
measurable business impact. Inclusion today is not a social initiative—it is a
business priority.&quot;  Gopalaiah, who
was also on the Jury panel, observed, &quot;Organisations are moving beyond
accommodating diversity to integrating inclusion into innovation, culture and
competitive advantage. That is where the real transformation begins.&quot;

The
second panel brought together two extraordinary people who through their work,
have challenged perceptions and broken barriers. Zainab Patel is an independent
DEIB consultant, social entrepreneur, and plays a visible role in India’s
transgender rights movement. Alina Alam, winner of the National Award for the
Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities and a four time TedX speaker, is the
founder CEO of Mitti Cafe, the world’s largest chain of cafes (including one at
the Mumbai International Airport), managed by physical, intellectual &amp;
psychiatric disabilities. The conversation touched on challenging norms in DEI,
the importance of sustained inclusion beyond individual leaders, and addressing
disability in perceptions.

Welcoming
delegates to the Bombay Chamber Inclusion Forum 2026 which was held prior to
the Awards, Meenakshi Priyam, Chair, DEI Committee, Bombay Chamber &amp; SVP
and Head of HR, Auto, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Ltd. said, “Belonging is at the
heart of inclusion. It is that feeling of longing to be in a place because it
allows you to be your authentic self. When people truly belong, they are
empowered to contribute, grow, and succeed. The Bombay Chamber Inclusion Awards
celebrate organisations that have moved beyond measuring representation to
creating workplaces where every individual feels valued, heard, and empowered
to contribute. May our community of inclusion continue to grow—bringing
together leaders, organisations, and changemakers committed to building
workplaces where everyone can belong, express themselves, and thrive.”

The
Inclusion Forum also celebrated the successful completion of the third edition
of the Bombay Chamber Mentoring for Enrichment (ME) Program—another milestone
in the Chamber&#039;s commitment to developing and empowering women professionals
and allies through mentorship. This year, the ME program brought together 36
mentor-mentee pairs, each embarking on a journey of learning,
collaboration, and professional growth. They were felicitated at the Forum. ]]></description>

alongside live sport in India, generating over 174 million impressions - a
benchmark Season 3 is positioned to build on.

Rajan
Navani, Chairman, JetSynthesys, said, “Season
3 is GEPL&#039;s biggest leap yet, growing from six teams to eight, with a marquee
ownership mix and expanded broadcast footprint, that reflects how far this
journey has come. What started as a community of aspiring e-cricketers has
grown into the world&#039;s only franchise-based e-cricket league - a sporting IP
built in Bharat, for the world to watch. Over the next few days, that ambition
will unfold one match at a time as our athletes showcase the depth of talent
emerging from Bharat on a truly global stage.”

sponsors line-up - led by Official Partner Lenskart, alongside Skyesports
and Global Music Junction as Strategic Partners, Cellbell as Official Gaming
Chair Partner, eeken as Official Footwear Partner, BookMyShow as Ticketing
Partner, Dailyhunt and myKhel as Digital Promotional Partners, and Pitaara as

<description><![CDATA[  

National,
August 03, 2026: Defending champions Delhi Sharks and Chennai
Falcons won their respective matches on the second day of Season 3 of JetSynthesys’
Global e-Cricket Premier League (GEPL) to displace Kolkata Hawks at the top
of the points table. Both teams are on six points apiece.

In
the opening match of the day, Sara Tendulkar’s Mumbai Grizzlies stamped
their class all over Kolkata Hawks, owned by Sonu Nigam, with a 24-run victory.
Batting first, Mumbai posted 62/1 before bowling Kolkata out of the game. This
was the first defeat of the season for Kolkata.

In
the second match of the day, Chennai got the better of Gujarat Wolves.
Gujarat were off to a steady start with 15 runs in the first over but Chennai
roared back into the game with a wicket off the second delivery of the next
over. The fourth over turned out to be a nightmare for Gujarat as Chennai
picked up two wickets. The Falcons kept up the pressure in the last over as the
Wolves finished their innings at 43/4.

Chennai
gave their chase an explosive start, smashing the Gujarat bowling to all
corners of the ground. Although the Wolves managed to claim a wicket in the
third over, it hardly affected the Chennai batting as the Falcons claimed a
well deserved four-wicket win with more than a over to go.

The
third match saw Suneil Shetty’s Pune Stallions lose their first wicket
in the opening over. Delhi Sharks continued to pick up wickets at regular
intervals as Pune finished their innings at 54/4. Delhi came under pressure
early in the chase with Pune claiming a wicket in the opening over before
producing an economical second over. However, Delhi held their nerves to carve
out a four-wicket win.

The
next match saw Chennai Falcons take on Hyderabad Rhinos. Batting first,
Chennai took control with an opening stand of 62 runs which came in just 4
overs. Two wickets fell in the last over as Chennai finished with a formidable
total of 78/3. It proved to be a bridge too far for Hyderabad as they could
manage 62/4, handing Chennai a 16-run win.

Gujarat
came back for a second time in the day in the fifth match of the day, but
failed to get over the line after scoring 56/3 as Bengaluru Bangers lost little
sweat to overhaul the target with an over and four wickets to spare.

The
sixth match of the day witnessed a Maharashtra derby with Pune setting a new
record for the opening partnership this season with a massive total of 79/0,
which is also the highest score for the current season. In response, Mumbai
could only manage 62/4. 

In
the final match of the day, Delhi rode on Akshat Koundal&#039;s scintillating
unbeaten 55 off just 17 balls, anchoring a commanding 58-run opening stand
as they posted 83/2 in their five overs. Hyderabad came up with a thrilling
chase but fell short by 16 runs, losing four wickets along the way.

<title>Hiplex 2026, Building India&amp;apos;s Plastics Future Through South India</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/hiplex-2026-building-indias-plastics-future-through-south-india</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/hiplex-2026-building-indias-plastics-future-through-south-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Every industry has people
who spot where things are headed well before everyone else catches up. In
India&#039;s plastics and polymers space, that kind of forward thinking has gone
into shaping what&#039;s now becoming one of the country&#039;s most talked-about industrial
gatherings. Set to take place at Hyderabad&#039;s HITEX Exhibition Centre, this expo
has grown into a meeting point for manufacturers, suppliers, government bodies,
entrepreneurs and everyone else who plays a part in the plastics value chain.More Than Just Booths and
Banners

This isn&#039;t your average
trade fair. It&#039;s really a strategic push to fuel innovation and investment in
an industry that&#039;s been on a steady climb in India. Visitors can expect to see
the newest machinery, manufacturing techniques, recycling solutions, raw
material options, automation tools and packaging breakthroughs all under one
roof. The idea has always been simple, give businesses a place to discover new
technology, build relationships and find fresh opportunities. That belief, that
industries thrive when people share knowledge and work together, is really what
makes this gathering tick. Suppliers, processors, machine makers, recyclers,
packaging specialists and tech innovators all show up, and between live
demonstrations, B2B meetings and technical talks, there&#039;s no shortage of ways
to engage.

&quot;It connects
visionaries, technologies and businesses, turning possibilities into lasting
partnerships.&quot;

An Industry on the Move

India&#039;s plastics
manufacturing sector is going through a real shift right now. Demand is
climbing across packaging, automotive, medical, infrastructure, agriculture and
consumer goods, and that&#039;s opened up massive potential. There&#039;s been a strong
push toward modern technology and sustainable practices, with the goal of helping
India become one of the world&#039;s leading manufacturing hubs. The recycling
pavilion at this event is a good example of where the industry&#039;s head is at
these days, environmentally conscious and looking ahead.

Why Hyderabad

The choice of location
isn&#039;t an accident; Hyderabad has become one of India&#039;s most promising
industrial cities thanks to forward-looking policies, solid infrastructure and
strong connectivity. Pharma, food processing, engineering, electronics and
plastics all have a foothold here, and Telangana&#039;s business-friendly
environment has made the city a magnet for investors, both local and
international. That groundwork has helped pull in participants from across
India and beyond.

Numbers That Actually
Mean Something

What sets this gathering apart
is the real business it generates. Past editions have shown just how effective
the platform is for striking deals and attracting investment. Industry insiders
point to a strong turnout of major manufacturers, suppliers and technology
providers, with plenty of business actually getting done on the floor. That
track record has earned it a reputation as one of the standout plastics shows
in the country, and today it&#039;s considered the leading trade event for the
plastics sector across South and Central India.

“Success here isn&#039;t
measured by footfall alone.”

Where Collaboration Takes
the Industry Next

As India works toward
becoming a manufacturing powerhouse, events like this one will only grow more
important in shaping how industries move forward. What&#039;s needed is closer
collaboration between industry players, faster adoption of new technology and a
genuine commitment to sustainability. That mindset is what&#039;s expected to keep
bringing together industry leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers and innovators
for years to come, building toward a stronger and more sustainable sector. With
HIPLEX 2026 or  Hyderabad International
Plastics Expo   bringing together some of
the sharpest minds in plastics manufacturing, the event stands as proof of what
good planning, clear vision and steady leadership can achieve. Behind much of
that vision is  Anil Reddy ,
Chairman of Publicity and Social Media for the show, whose efforts have helped
turn it into a true engine for growth across the industry.

The Body Behind the
Movement

None of this momentum
exists in a vacuum, and a lot of the credit for organizing the region&#039;s
plastics community goes to TAAPMA, the Telangana and Andhra Plastics
Manufacturers Association. Established back in 1969, The Organisation has grown
into the leading trade body for the sector, representing roughly 90 percent of
the plastics industry&#039;s turnover across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Over the
decades it has worked as a bridge between industrial units and government
departments, helping sort out everything from policy concerns to ground level
operational issues. It&#039;s this kind of steady institutional backing that gives
events on the scale of this exhibition the credibility and reach they need to
actually move the needle for the industry.

&quot;Great industries
are not built by machines alone, They are built by visionaries who dare to
imagine what comes next.&quot;

As things stand today,
this platform continues to act as a reliable gateway to innovation, drawing in
top technologies, products and industry experts to build new knowledge
together. Its growing footprint in the market says a lot about how much it&#039;s
contributed to the industry&#039;s development, especially through the business
networking opportunities it creates. It remains a key piece of the puzzle in
shaping where India&#039;s plastics industry goes next.

A Gesture That Sets the
Bar Higher

What really stands out
about this exhibition is the way it goes the extra mile for its exhibitors, and
the free power, air and water facility for live machinery is a perfect example
of that thoughtfulness. Offering compressed air, water connections and
electricity at no cost, with only a small connection charge attached, shows a
genuine understanding of what manufacturers actually need on the ground. It&#039;s
the kind of support that takes the operational stress off exhibitors and lets
them put their full energy into showcasing their machines and engaging with
buyers. Touches like this are exactly why the show continues to earn the trust
and loyalty of the industry year after year.

Limited demonstrated a sustained momentum in Q1 FY27, delivering a Total
Income of ₹ 1,560 Cr, representing a ~6% Y-o-Y growth compared
to ₹ 1,475 Cr in Q1 FY26. This performance was led by premiumization in the
domestic business and significant volume recovery in the Garmenting business,
buoyed by the US – India Tariff rationalisation and the implementation of UK
FTA, resulting in a robust order book. This year’s revenue of Branded Textile
and High Value cotton shirting segment was lower compared to the previous year
due to a base effect. EBITDA for Q1 FY27 was at ₹135 Cr, representing
a 11% Y-o-Y growth with an EBITDA margin of 8.6%.

in Q1 FY27 as compared to ₹ 107 Cr in Q1 FY26, with EBITDA margin
of 13.9% in Q1 FY27 vs 15.3% in Q1 FY26 due to scale
deleverage. In spite of inflationary pressures affecting raw material prices,

revenue stood at ₹ 349 Cr in Q1 FY27 as compared to ₹
335 Cr in the same quarter last year, reflecting a growth of 4% Y-o-Y,
however, the growth in our casual brands was in double digits. LFS and online
channels demonstrated a robust performance with a high double-digit growth. The
segment reported an EBITDA of ₹ 18 Cr in Q1 FY27 as compared to ₹
26 Cr in Q1 FY26 with an EBITDA margin of 5.1% in Q1 FY27 vs
7.8% in Q1 FY26 on account of adverse channel mix. 

Garmenting segment reported
a stellar performance with revenue of ₹ 296 Cr in Q1 FY27 as
compared to ₹ 197 Crin the same quarter previous year,reflecting a robust
growth of 50% Y-o-Y. Thisimpressive growth was driven by order book
execution following the US-India Tariff rationalisation &amp; onboarding of new
global clients. The segment reported an EBITDA of ₹ 22 Cr in Q1 FY27 as
compared to (₹8 Cr) in Q1 FY26, with an EBITDA margin for the quarter of
7.3% in Q1 FY27 vs (4.1%) in Q1 FY26. 

High
Value Cotton Shirting segment reported revenue of ₹ 195 Cr in Q1
FY27as compared to ₹205 Cr in Q1 FY26 on account of previous year’s base
effect. The segment reported an EBITDA of ₹ 19 Cr in Q1 FY27 as
compared to ₹19 Cr in Q1 FY26 due to scale deleverage. EBITDA margin was
at 9.7% in Q1 FY27 vs 9.1% in Q1 FY26, due to improved product
mix despite increased raw material prices.

Innerwear, Chairman’s Collections and Sexual Wellness) reported revenue of ₹
79 Cr in Q1 FY27 as compared to ₹ 73 Cr in the same quarter previous
year, reflecting a growth of 9% Y-o-Y. We continue with our tactical
investment strategy for this segment to drive long-term growth. 

Retail
Footprint &amp; Network Optimization: Our store count at the end of the quarter was 1,627
stores vs. 1,675 stores on June 30, 2025. We are also actively
optimizing our broader network, while, our recently opened stores continue to
mature and build momentum. This ongoing evaluation enables us to maintain a
high-performing retail footprint that directly contributes to our long-term
financial objectives. 

Financial Position &amp; ESG Roadmap

Limited has a net-cash position of ₹ 154 Cr in Q1FY27 as
compared to a net debt of ₹ 55 Cr in Q1FY26.

remains a top priority. Driven by robust governance, these initiatives
reinforce our commitment to sustainable growth and long-term stakeholder value.


Commenting
on the performance, Satyaki Ghosh, Wholetime Director &amp; CEO of
Raymond Lifestyle Limited said; “Building on our solid foundation from FY26,
Q1 FY27 has delivered steady performance marked by strong international
traction and sustained domestic demand. Our Garmenting business achieved an
exceptional 50%+ growth, demonstrating the strategic advantages of global trade
tailwinds like the US-India Tariff rationalisation and upcoming FTAs with the
UK and EU. While short-term macroeconomic pressures and elevated raw material costs
have weighed on overall margins, our resilient product mix, debt-free balance
sheet, and strong net-cash position of ₹154 Cr give us immense operational
flexibility. As we navigate the year ahead, we remain focused on strengthening
our brands, innovating on our premium and casual offerings, driving retail
maturity, and executing our long-term ESG and digital priorities to create
sustainable stakeholder value”

<title>TrustLine Announces Successful  Closing of Intrinsic Deep Alpha AIF&#45;II With INR 260Cr  Commitments</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/trustline-announces-successful-closing-of-intrinsic-deep-alpha-aif-ii-with-inr-260cr-commitments</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/trustline-announces-successful-closing-of-intrinsic-deep-alpha-aif-ii-with-inr-260cr-commitments</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai : TrustLine Holdings,  the
leading Equity Research and Asset Management firm has announced the successful
final close of its  Intrinsic Deep Alpha
AIF-II . The fund has received a total commitment of  INR 260Cr 
across its closes from existing and new investors, well ahead of what it
had internally set out at the beginning. 
This Category III AIF Fund’s mandate is to focus predominantly on micro
and small cap space in the sub-2000cr market cap segment and to aim at
early-stage investing in the listed space. TrustLine is among the top
discretionary asset managers in India with industry leading performance.

TrustLine
raises well over the target corpus for the new AIF Cat III offering. 

Investor
response has exceeded our expectations. The level of interest and confidence
from both our existing investors and new prospects reinforces our conviction in
this strategy.  

Building
on the success of its first fund, TrustLine’s new offering is designed to focus
on early- stage PE style (Private Equity) investing in the listed space,
specifically targeting micro and small-cap space. The fund aims to identify
high-growth businesses in their formative stages, with the potential to deliver
substantial long-term returns. The alpha generation in this fund arises from
two key sources - higher level of concentration and focus on the under-owned
and under-researched market spectrum at lower end of the small-caps.  With a minimum investment size of ₹1 crore,
Intrinsic Deep Alpha AIF – II is a closed-ended scheme with a 6-year tenure
(from first close), extendable by up to 2 years as per SEBI AIF Regulations,
2012. 

Commenting
on the successful closing, Mr. ArunaGiri N, Founder, CEO &amp; Chief Investment
Officer of TrustLine Holdings, said: 

“More
than the quantum of money raised, what really gives us immense satisfaction is
the profile of the investors.  Over 90%
of the commitments raised, has come our existing investors who are from C-level
leadership profile. That speaks volume for us. It reflects the trust our
investors have placed in us, in our investment philosophy and the relationships
nurtured over the years. Further, the entire quantum has been raised through
the direct route. Not a single investment has come through distribution
channel. In today’s context, this is no mean accomplishment” 

He
further added, “The fund’s objective is to build &quot;rich portfolios from
small gems&quot; - by identifying high-quality micro-cap companies with
superior return metrics such as high ROCE, strong operating margins, low
leverage, and consistent performance track record. The investment approach
remains rooted in contra deep value investing with a sharp focus on capital
preservation” ]]></description>

<title>Breaking Into Product Management in 2026: Why Most Professionals Struggle and How to Get It Right</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/breaking-into-product-management-in-2026-why-most-professionals-struggle-and-how-to-get-it-right</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Product
management roles are expanding as organisations prioritise product-led growth
and digital transformation. Yet, readiness continues to lag. According to
McKinsey &amp; Company Project Management Index, 2025, fewer than half of
product managers feel fully prepared for their roles, highlighting a critical
capability gap. At the same time, Deloitte Digital Project Management 2025
report notes that 43% of new product launches fail to meet business goals due
to execution challenges. This reflects a broader issue: demand for product
talent is high, but clarity on how to enter or grow in these roles remains
limited. 

Common
barriers professionals face include: 

●       
Lack of hands-on experience in real product
environments 

●       
Unclear understanding of required skills across
business, technology, and user domains 

●       
No structured pathway to transition into or
grow within product roles 

●       
Difficulty applying product thinking,
data-driven decision-making, and stakeholder management in practice

To
address this, ISB Online, the digital arm of Indian School of Business
(ISB) offers a structured pathway: the Professional Certificate in Product Management (28 weeks)
which provides a guided, application-led learning to help professionals build
relevant skills and navigate product management careers with clarity. 

The
28-week Professional Certificate in Product Management is
designed for professionals seeking deeper expertise and long-term growth in
product leadership. Now in its 22nd batch, the programme focuses on driving
advanced and strategic capabilities. 

The
programme enables participants to build end-to-end product strategies across
markets and platforms. It covers product-led growth, pricing, and business
model design, while strengthening technical product management skills.
Participants learn to apply advanced AI and Generative AI across product discovery, design,
and scaling. A strong focus is placed on stakeholder
management and data-backed decision-making through hands-on projects, case
studies, and masterclasses. 

Starts
on September 26, 2026, | Duration: 28 Weeks | Fee: INR 2,71,900 + GST   

Learners
have highlighted its practical relevance: 

●

<description><![CDATA[ Blending
mythology, adventure, and life lessons to help children discover India&#039;s rich
cultural heritage through entertaining storytelling.

Mumbai,
July 31st, 2026: Kayhan Entertainment, an
integrated IP-led ecosystem with a strategic focus on IP ownership and creative
exports, has launched Shivlok Ke Kundakka Mandakka, its latest original
animated mythology series. The series has debuted with its first four episodes,
while the remaining episodes will be released in phases. Set in the mystical
world of Shivlok, the series follows mischievous Asura twins Kundakka and
Mandakka as they embark on extraordinary adventures that blend humour, action,
mythology, and life lessons. The launch further strengthens Kayhan&#039;s vision of
building original entertainment franchises from India for audiences across the
world.

Unlike
traditional mythology adaptations, Shivlok Ke Kundakka Mandakka introduces
children to Indian mythology through original characters, engaging
storytelling, and immersive world-building. The series transforms legendary
Asuras, mythical creatures, and ancient lore into entertaining adventures that
encourage curiosity, teamwork, courage, and emotional growth, making mythology
an accessible learning experience rather than a classroom lesson.

Founded
by Arushi Govil and Dalbir Singh, Kayhan Entertainment is built on a creative
partnership where life and storytelling come together. Partners in life and
partners in creation, the creator-director duo has dedicated itself to building
original Indian intellectual property that can resonate with audiences across
the world. Their shared vision led them to see extraordinary potential in
Kundakka and Mandakka, two lesser-known characters from acclaimed author Anand
Neelakantan&#039;s work, at a time when few imagined they could become the heart of
a children&#039;s entertainment franchise. Believing that every great universe
begins with compelling characters, they reimagined the mischievous Asura twins
into a vibrant world of adventure, humour, and mythology. Their complementary
strengths in storytelling, direction, and production continue to shape Kayhan
into an integrated creative ecosystem focused on creating original Indian
stories with global appeal.

Speaking
about the launch, Dalbir Singh, Co-Founder, Kayhan Entertainment - With
every IP we create, our ambition is to make Indian storytelling more relevant
for the next generation. Smart KidZ helped children navigate everyday life
through emotional intelligence, while Shivlok Ke Kundakka Mandakka introduces
them to the richness of Indian mythology through adventure and imagination. We
believe mythology is one of India&#039;s greatest storytelling treasures, and when
presented in a fun, contemporary way, it can inspire curiosity, values, and
creativity while building globally scalable entertainment franchises rooted in
our own culture.&quot;

Adding
to this, Arushi Govil, Co-Founder, Kayhan Entertainment, said
&quot;Children learn best when they are emotionally invested in a story. Our
approach has never been to recreate mythology as history lessons, but to
transform it into experiences children genuinely enjoy. Through Kundakka and
Mandakka&#039;s adventures, we want young audiences to discover the fascinating
world of Indian mythology while naturally learning about friendship, courage,
responsibility, and teamwork. Today&#039;s children are growing up in a
digital-first world, and we believe it is equally important for them to stay
connected to the stories, values, and cultural heritage that define us. At
Kayhan, we are reimagining India&#039;s timeless mythology through original storytelling
that feels exciting, relatable, and relevant for the next generation, ensuring
every story entertains first while inspiring curiosity and meaningful learning

At
the heart of Shivlok Ke Kundakka Mandakka are two mischievous Asura twins whose
endless curiosity and playful antics lead them into extraordinary adventures
across the mystical world of Shivlok. What begins as harmless pranks at the
Asur Gurukul soon unfolds into an epic journey through ancient legends,
forgotten warriors, magical creatures, and hidden secrets of the Asura kingdom.
Watched over by Lord Shiva (Mahadev) and Goddess Parvati, whose witty and warm
conversations guides the narrative, Kundakka and Mandakka encounter legendary
asura figures such as Raktbeej and Dhoomralochan. Along the way, they forge
unexpected friendships and discover that true strength lies not in power alone
but in courage, loyalty, trust, and teamwork. Through humour, action, and
immersive storytelling, every episode introduces children to the richness of
Indian mythology while naturally weaving in timeless values and life lessons.
With Shivlok Ke Kundakka Mandakka, Kayhan Entertainment continues its vision of
building culturally rooted, globally relevant original IP that inspires the
next generation through meaningful entertainment.

The
launch of Shivlok Ke Kundakka Mandakka comes at a time when audiences worldwide
are increasingly embracing stories inspired by culture, mythology, and local
heritage. As India&#039;s animation and children&#039;s entertainment ecosystem continues
to evolve, there is a growing opportunity to transform the country&#039;s rich
mythological legacy into engaging, globally relevant content for young
audiences. Rather than retelling mythology as history, Shivlok Ke Kundakka
Mandakka reimagines ancient legends through original characters, humour,
adventure, and contemporary storytelling, enabling children to connect with
their cultural roots in a way that feels exciting and relatable. The series
reflects Kayhan Entertainment&#039;s broader vision of creating original Indian IP
that preserves timeless stories while shaping them into modern entertainment
franchises with global appeal, positioning India not only as a producer of
content but as a creator and exporter of culturally significant intellectual
property. The series reflects Kayhan Entertainment&#039;s broader vision of bringing
timeless Indian stories to life through modern entertainment franchises with
global appeal, positioning India not only as a producer of content but as a
creator and exporter of culturally significant intellectual property.

<title>PeopleWorks Shares Insights on the Future of HR Automation and the Evolving Role of Human Resources</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/peopleworks-shares-insights-on-the-future-of-hr-automation-and-the-evolving-role-of-human-resources</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/peopleworks-shares-insights-on-the-future-of-hr-automation-and-the-evolving-role-of-human-resources</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Leading HR tech
innovator outlines how artificial intelligence, mobile accessibility, and
automated payroll systems are elevating HR teams from administrative support to
key strategic partners across India

Bangalore, Karnataka,
India, July 31:  Human
Resource Management (HRM) is undergoing a major fundamental shift in a business
environment that is increasingly driven by technology. Modern HR automation
systems and artificial intelligence (AI) are dramatically transforming the
traditional administrative functions, which have always been associated with
manual record-keeping and repetitive task execution. PeopleWorks, the pioneer in HRMS
software, has released key industry insights that
highlight how digital HR transformation, automated workflows, and data-driven
intelligence are changing workforce dynamics.

With the scaling of
enterprise operations and distributed hybrid work models becoming the norm
across India, the demands on HR departments have increased exponentially. 

 HR leaders are now not limited to being
administrative personnel; instead, they are handed the role to serve as a
central strategic partner driving business agility, workplace culture, and
long-term competitive advantage.

Transitioning
from Operational Burden to Strategic Influence

This ongoing transition
is strategically supported by the adoption of enterprise-grade HRMS software.
Historically, routine HR administrative tasks such as manual attendance
verification, leave tracking, and complex statutory reporting consumed up to
eighty percent of an HR team’s daily operational bandwidth. Modern automation
tools help streamline repetitive workflows, lower human error, and build
cloud-powered, centralized data ecosystems.

“Technology is
developing fast, and it is transforming how organizations look at human
resources,” said a senior spokesperson at PeopleWorks. “When companies harness
powerful human resource automation, they don’t just increase productivity; they
unlock human potential. By reducing administrative friction, human resource
teams are freed up to focus on strategic goals like talent preservation,
leadership growth, employee involvement, and long-term workforce planning.”

The Impact
of AI, Predictive Analytics, and Mobile Accessibility

Artificial intelligence
and predictive analytics are driving a shift from reactive support to a
proactive workforce approach. Modern HRMS software tools provide management
with real-time analysis to identify skill gaps, evaluate team collaboration,
and detect signs of burnout before it results in unexpected turnover.

Performance management
is also changing similarly. Companies are moving away from the annual review to
more frequent feedback that encourages ongoing development and a skills-based
work environment.

Mobile access, along
with analytics, has emerged as a requirement for the modern enterprise. HR
software with mobile app functionality ensures remote teams, frontline workers,
and travelling managers have immediate access to core self-service functions such
as leave requests, expense claims, and company announcements. Mobile-first
platforms break down silos, increase engagement, and deliver a seamless
employee experience wherever they are.

Ensuring
Accuracy and Compliance Through Advanced Payroll Automation

Among all traditional
HR functions, compensation management remains one of the most critical and
complex operational tasks. Miscalculations or payment delays can damage
employee trust and may even cause organizations to face legal liability.  Contemporary businesses depend significantly
on dedicated payroll software to streamline intricate tax deductions, mandatory
contributions, and layered salary frameworks.

To ensure real-time
synchronization of attendance, leave records, tax calculations, and payroll processing,
integrating PeopleWorks, one of the best payroll software in Bangalore, India
into a centralized HR ecosystem is essential. This automation eliminates manual
data transfers, ensures compliance with state and national regulations, and
enables accurate, timely salary processing.

Addressing
the Governance and Human Factors of AI Adoption

PeopleWorks notes that
digital HR transformation offers unprecedented opportunities, yet organizations
need to be deliberate in their governance regarding the inclusion of
technology. Key issues such as employee data privacy, algorithmic recruitment
bias, and upskilling HR teams to interpret complex analytical results must be
handled thoughtfully.

Effective digital
transformation must find an equilibrium between advanced technological
efficiency and human-centric empathy. Businesses must consider AI and
automation as tools to enhance, rather than supplant, human decision-making,
keeping ethics and trust at the forefront of adoption.

Recognized as the top
supplier of Best HRMS Software in Bangalore,
India, PeopleWorks stands as a pioneer in HRMS
innovation, continuing to empower enterprises across India with flexible,
cloud-powered HRMS software built for the future of work.

About PeopleWorks

cloud-based HRMS software provider that simplifies, automates, and transforms
workforce operations for modern enterprises. Headquartered in Bangalore and led
by Varghese Vincent D, CEO &amp; Managing Director, the company delivers

<title>Butterfly Learnings Launches First NACCR Centre in Gurgaon, Introduces Integrated BLISS Model</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Gurgaon, July 31, 2026: Asia&#039;s only BHCOE (Behavioral Health Center
of Excellence ) accredited pediatric behavioral health platform brings therapy,
schooling, and early screening under one roof for NCR families.

Good news for parents in NCR - support for children with developmental
needs is now closer and easier to access.

Many
parents struggle to manage multiple therapy visits, different specialists, and
separate schooling. This often leads to gaps in a child&#039;s progress. Butterfly
Learnings aims to solve this by bringing everything under one roof with its new
centre in Gurgaon.

The centre is designed for children with autism, speech and language
delays, developmental delays, and learning disabilities.

Parents who notice signs like:

●      Delayed
speech or difficulty communicating

●      Lack
of eye contact or social interaction

●      Hyperactivity
or difficulty focusing

●      Challenges
in learning or following instructions

●      Repetitive
behaviours

can
now access structured support in one place. What the centre offers:

●      Applied
Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy – helps improve communication, behaviour, and
learning through step-by-step teaching.

●      Speech
and Language Therapy – helps improve speaking, understanding, and expressing.

●      Occupational
Therapy – helps build everyday skills like sitting, writing, eating, and
managing sensory sensitivities.

●      Developmental
Assessments – evaluates a child&#039;s overall development to understand strengths,
challenges, and the right support needed.

●      Integrated
Schooling (BLISS) – combines therapy and schooling into one system, covering communication,
behaviour, academics, sports, and daily life skills.

The
centre caters to children aged 2 to 10 years and provides a safe, engaging,
daycare-like environment where children can learn, play, and build life skills
through the day.

What makes it different:

Each child gets a personalised plan created by therapists, educators,
and specialists working together. Parents are actively involved through regular
meetings and home plans, and can track their child&#039;s progress through a mobile
app with regular updates.

Dr. Sonam Kothari, Founder C Clinical Director, Butterfly Learnings

Founder Quote - “As a clinician, I believe families deserve more than
good intentions - they deserve evidence. Every child at Butterfly Learnings is
supported through standardized assessments, protocol-driven therapy, and
transparent progress tracking, so parents always know exactly how their child
is developing and why. That same rigor and transparency is what we&#039;re bringing
to NCR with our new Gurgaon centre.”

With presence in 10+ cities, this launch marks Butterfly Learnings&#039;
entry into NCR. The organization plans to expand further across Gurgaon and
nearby areas.

About Butterfly Learnings

Learnings is India&#039;s leading pediatric behavioral health platform, building an
end-to-end continuum of care for neurodiverse children - from early screening

<title>THE ACTION GUIDE HOW TO CO&#45;REGULATE WHEN YOUR CHILD IS OVERWHELMED  BY KARISHMA</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-action-guide-how-to-co-regulate-when-your-child-is-overwhelmed-by-karishma</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-action-guide-how-to-co-regulate-when-your-child-is-overwhelmed-by-karishma</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ “In my
previous pieces Connection over Correction and The Co- Regulator Parent, we
explored how our reactions shape our children&#039;s inner voice and why an
overwhelmed brain needs our calm, regulated energy. But how do we take
co-regulation and turn it into lifelong independence/ How to cross the bridge
between needing us to calm down to managing their own big emotions on their
own? Today we will look at the psychology of Scaffolding&quot;

Lev
Vygotsky’s psychology of ‘Scaffolding’

A famous
developmental psychologist named Lev Vygotsky introduced a concept called
Scaffolding to explain how children master complex life skills.

When
builders construct a tall building, they put up temporary metal frames i.e.
scaffolding, to hold everything up while the structure is being built. As the
building gets stronger and can stand on its own, the scaffolding is slowly
taken down piece by piece.

In child
development, your co-regulation is that scaffolding. Let’s understand step by
step:


 Stage 1 is Full support: Your child&#039;s emotional brain cannot
     support itself yet. You act as the temporary frame, sharing your calm to
     keep them safe. 



 Stage 2 is Guided Practice: The parents teach them the tools to
     recognize and name their feelings as they calm down with you.



 Stage 3 is Self-regulation: Over time, as your child absorbs your calm
     presence, you slowly remove the scaffold. They handle emotional speed
     bumps on their own.


Expecting a
child to self- regulate without first offering co-regulation is like expecting
a building to stand without a frame while the concrete is still wet.

Three
Phases to Build Lasting Emotional Maturity: 

Phase 1:
Co- Regulation which means building the frame 

When your
child is drowning in big emotions, be their anchor


 Before
     speaking, take a deep breath and get down to their eye level.
 Instead of
     issuing orders or shouting ‘calm down’, say simple, grounding words “I see
     this is really hard right now. I am here. We’ll get through this”


Phase 2:
Strengthening the Structure

Once the
storm has passed and their logical brain is back online, teach the tools.


 Help them
     label the feeling for example, “You felt angry because it was time to turn
     off the T.V.”
 When they are
     happy and relaxed, practice simple grounding habits together like taking
     slow ‘flower breaths’ (inhaling deeply) and ‘candle breaths’ (exhaling
     gently), or resting in a corner filled with soft toys where they can feel
     calm.


Phase 3:
Removing the Frame 

With
consistent practice, you will start seeing the scaffold come down
naturally: 


 Your child
     takes a deep breath before reacting in frustration.



 They step away
     to a quiet space on their own when feeling overwhelmed.



 They handle
     unexpected changes or losing a game with resilience rather than a complete
     breakdown.


For the
Parents 

If you take
away one message from this three phase journey, let it be this: You do not
have to be a perfect parent to raise an emotionally strong child.

Parenting
is not about never losing your temper, it is about showing up with gentleness,
offering your presence, and repairing the bond when things go wrong. Every
single time you choose to offer your calm instead of adding to their storm, you
are building the invisible frame your child will stand on for the rest of their
life.

A message
until next time 

Thank you
for walking this journey of connection with me through this series!

While we
have covered the heart, the brain, and the blueprint of co-regulation, every
parent knows that real life happens in specific daily moments like bedtime,
morning rushes, and screen time transitions.

In my
upcoming articles, we will be exploring The Daily Resets.

Until then,
give yourself grace, hold the frame with love and remember you are building
something beautiful, one calm moment at a time.

<description><![CDATA[  

Healthy skin and hair are not just about appearance—they reflect
overall well-being and confidence. With growing awareness around dermatological
health, more people are choosing expert-led, evidence-based treatments over
temporary fixes. This shift has made selecting the right skin clinic more
important than ever.

Dermapuritys has steadily built a reputation as one of Delhi&#039;s trusted
destinations for advanced skin and hair treatments by combining experienced
dermatologists, modern technology, and personalized patient care. Rather than
offering one-size-fits-all solutions, the clinic focuses on understanding each
individual&#039;s concerns before recommending a customized treatment plan.

The clinic provides comprehensive care for a wide range of skin and
hair conditions, including acne, acne scars, pigmentation, premature ageing,
uneven skin tone, hair fall, dandruff, and scalp-related concerns. Every
treatment begins with a detailed consultation and skin assessment, enabling
dermatologists to identify the underlying cause of the condition and recommend
the most suitable course of action.

Dermapuritys offers a broad spectrum of advanced aesthetic and
dermatological procedures, including laser skin rejuvenation, chemical peels,
anti-ageing therapies, skin-brightening treatments, laser hair reduction, PRP
therapy, GFC therapy, Exosome Hair Therapy, stem cell-based treatments,
mesotherapy, and scalp restoration procedures. These treatments are supported
by advanced technologies and are performed under the supervision of qualified
specialists, ensuring safety and consistent results.

A key differentiator for Dermapuritys is its emphasis on ethical
practice and patient education. The team believes in recommending treatments
based on medical necessity and realistic expectations, allowing patients to
make informed decisions about their skin and hair health. This transparent
approach, coupled with a strong focus on hygiene, comfort, and follow-up care,
has helped the clinic earn the trust of patients across Delhi and the NCR.

As the demand for non-invasive and medically backed aesthetic
procedures continues to grow, Dermapuritys remains committed to delivering high
standards of dermatological care through innovation, clinical expertise, and
individualized attention. Whether someone is seeking preventive skincare,
corrective treatments, or long-term hair restoration solutions, the clinic aims
to provide effective care tailored to every stage of the patient&#039;s journey.

By combining medical excellence with a patient-first philosophy,
Dermapuritys continues to strengthen its position as a preferred destination
for those seeking reliable skin and hair care solutions in Delhi.

<title>Why Paid Visibility Alone Is No Longer Enough for Sustainable Growth Says BrandLoom</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-paid-visibility-alone-is-no-longer-enough-for-sustainable-growth-says-brandloom</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-paid-visibility-alone-is-no-longer-enough-for-sustainable-growth-says-brandloom</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, India :  Businesses that rely solely on visibility and paid reach will face
diminishing returns, according to BrandLoom, a Strategic Brand, Digital, Design &amp; Intelligence
Partner helping businesses build scalable, measurable, and
trust-driven growth systems.

Brands that once depended on aggressive
media buying and platform algorithms to drive growth now face a harder reality.
In an AI-driven economy where information is abundant and attention is
fragmented, brand authority, not visibility alone, is emerging as the strongest
multiplier of marketing performance.

“Too many businesses are confusing
attention with trust,” said Avinash Chandra, Founder and CEO of BrandLoom. “You
can buy visibility, but you cannot buy authority. In a world increasingly
shaped by AI-driven recommendations, search summaries, and automated discovery,
the brands people trust are the brands that continue to win.”

Visibility Alone No Longer Guarantees
Growth

For years, digital growth strategies
rewarded brands that could dominate impressions, increase frequency, and
outspend competitors across advertising platforms. But the economics of attention
are changing.

Consumers today encounter brands through a
fragmented mix of search results, social media, expert reviews, customer
communities, newsletters, podcasts, and AI-assisted discovery experiences.
Visibility may create awareness, but awareness without trust increasingly fails
to convert.

The result is a widening gap between brands
that are simply seen and brands that are believed.

The Shift From Rented Attention to Owned
Authority

BrandLoom argues that one of the most
overlooked strategic risks facing modern businesses is overdependence on rented
platforms.

Social algorithms shift. Paid acquisition
costs fluctuate. Search rankings evolve. Platform rules change overnight.
Brands built entirely on borrowed reach often find themselves rebuilding momentum
every quarter.

In contrast, businesses investing in owned
media, original insights, educational content, email ecosystems, customer
communities, and category leadership are creating durable trust assets that
compound over time.

The distinction is increasingly important
as AI systems surface and prioritize brands based not only on visibility but on
authority signals, consistency, expertise, and credibility across digital
ecosystems.

“Rented attention creates temporary
momentum,” Chandra said. “Owned authority creates resilience. The brands that
invest in thought leadership, clear positioning, and trust-building content are
building an asset competitors cannot easily replicate.”

Brand Trust Signals Are Becoming
Competitive Infrastructure

BrandLoom highlights a growing set of trust
signals that increasingly influence both consumer confidence and performance
outcomes: consistent messaging across channels, expert-led content, customer
proof points, brand mentions, educational resources, transparent communication,
and demonstrated expertise.

These signals shape how brands are
evaluated long before a customer speaks to sales or clicks on an ad.

A strong reputation lowers friction.
Familiarity increases confidence. Trust improves conversion efficiency.

According to BrandLoom, this is where many
organizations underestimate the connection between branding and performance.
Brand authority is not a vanity metric. It directly influences acquisition
efficiency, customer confidence, referral behavior, and long-term revenue
performance.

“Performance marketing works best when
trust already exists,” Chandra said. “The strongest brands are not just
optimizing campaigns. They are reducing resistance before the campaign even
starts.”

Why AI Makes Brand Authority More
Important, Not Less

The rise of AI is often framed as a race
for automation, faster execution, and content scale. But BrandLoom argues that
the bigger shift is strategic.

As AI lowers barriers to content production
and campaign execution, sameness increases. Generic messaging becomes easier to
produce. Differentiation becomes harder to maintain.

This changes what matters.

When every competitor can generate content
faster, launch campaigns cheaper, and optimize media more efficiently,
authority becomes the signal that separates noise from trust.

BrandLoom’s Authority-First Growth
Framework

Within BrandLoom’s AIM Growth Architecture,
authority-building is treated as a strategic growth layer, not a brand
awareness exercise. The firm emphasizes a structured approach centered around


 Positioning clarity 
 Trust signals 
 Owned media ecosystems 
 Thought leadership 
 Consistent messaging across customer touchpoints. 


The objective is not simply to generate
reach but to build credibility that compounds over time and strengthens performance
across every marketing channel.

“Brand authority acts as a performance
multiplier,” Chandra said. “When people trust you, every ad performs better.
Every sales conversation becomes easier. Every piece of content works harder.
Authority does not replace performance marketing. It amplifies it.”

About BrandLoom

BrandLoom is a Strategic Brand, Digital, Design &amp; Intelligence
Partner helping businesses build scalable, measurable, and
trust-driven growth systems.

brands move beyond fragmented marketing activities by integrating brand

<title>Last Opportunity to Own a Home at Landmarc by Saheel as Final Tower Launches</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/last-opportunity-to-own-a-home-at-landmarc-by-saheel-as-final-tower-launches</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/last-opportunity-to-own-a-home-at-landmarc-by-saheel-as-final-tower-launches</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Pune, Maharashtra: After the overwhelming response to its first two towers, Landmarc by
Saheel has announced the launch of its final tower, marking the concluding
chapter of one of Hinjawadi&#039;s most sought-after residential developments. More
than just another tower release, this launch represents the final opportunity
for homebuyers to become part of a community that has already earned the trust
of hundreds of families through its thoughtful planning, prime location and
lifestyle-focused living.

Situated in Hinjawadi Phase 3, Landmarc by
Saheel has steadily established itself as a preferred address for homebuyers
seeking the perfect balance between connectivity, convenience and modern
living. The successful response to the earlier towers reflects growing
confidence in the project&#039;s vision, making the final tower launch a significant
milestone for both the developer and aspiring homeowners looking to secure a
future-ready address.

What sets Landmarc by Saheel apart is its
understanding that today&#039;s homebuyers seek more than just square footage. They
are looking for experiences that enhance everyday living. The project has been
thoughtfully designed around this philosophy, offering spaces that seamlessly
blend wellness, recreation, work and leisure into one vibrant community.

Residents will enjoy access to an impressive
collection of lifestyle amenities spread across a thoughtfully planned 1.5-acre
amenity floor, creating dedicated spaces for recreation, wellness and social
interaction. Sports enthusiasts can experience Pune&#039;s first personal pickleball
court, while families can unwind at the beautifully designed Cabana Lounge or
enjoy quality time at the dedicated Children&#039;s Play Park. Fitness remains an
integral part of everyday life with a fully equipped Gymnasium, while the thoughtfully
designed Flexi Me Spaces provide adaptable environments for working
professionals embracing hybrid work culture.

Adding another unique dimension to the
development is the Mini Golf Course, creating recreational opportunities within
the community itself. For those who enjoy entertainment under the open sky, the
Movie Under the Stars experience transforms evenings into memorable family
moments. Residents can also enjoy an elevated lifestyle through the spectacular
300-metre Connected Skywalk, including an extraordinary stretch soaring 100
metres above the ground, offering panoramic views and a distinctive walking
experience unlike anything else in Pune. Complementing this lifestyle is a
vibrant High Street on the ground floor, bringing shopping, dining and everyday
conveniences just a few steps from home.

Connectivity continues to remain one of
Landmarc by Saheel&#039;s strongest advantages. Located close to the Rajiv Gandhi
Infotech Park, the project provides excellent access for professionals working
across Hinjawadi&#039;s thriving IT corridor. The upcoming Metro connectivity
further strengthens its long-term appeal by making daily commuting easier while
enhancing future accessibility across Pune&#039;s rapidly growing western region.

Beyond location and amenities, the project has
been designed to support evolving lifestyles. Every aspect reflects careful
planning, from spaces that encourage community interactions to facilities that
cater to professionals, children and senior citizens alike. This holistic
approach has helped Landmarc by Saheel build not just residential towers but a
neighbourhood where convenience and lifestyle coexist naturally.

The launch of the final tower also carries a
sense of exclusivity. With two successful towers already becoming home to a growing
community, the remaining inventory represents the last chance for buyers to be
part of a development that has already proven its value in the market. For many
prospective homeowners, this is no longer simply about purchasing an apartment.
It is about joining a community that has already established its identity and
earned the confidence of discerning buyers.

As Pune continues to expand towards its
western growth corridor, Hinjawadi remains one of the city&#039;s most promising
residential destinations, driven by employment opportunities, infrastructure
development and evolving lifestyle aspirations. Landmarc by Saheel brings these
advantages together in a thoughtfully planned environment that complements the
needs of today&#039;s professionals and families.

With the final tower now officially open, this
is the closing opportunity to own a home in a development that has already
become a landmark destination in Hinjawadi. Homebuyers looking for a
future-ready lifestyle are invited to visit the project, experience its
thoughtfully curated amenities firsthand and explore the final residences now
available. To know more or schedule a site visit, visit https://saheelproperties.com/project/ongoing/landmarc-by-saheel/.

<description><![CDATA[  

Located
in Hinjewadi Phase 1, the project brings together contemporary design,
expansive residences and the convenience of integrated township living.

in Hinjewadi Phase 1, Pune. Blue Ridge has evolved into one of Pune&#039;s most
established integrated communities, bringing together residential
neighbourhoods, commercial spaces, an award-winning ICSE school, a
state-of-the-art sports club, high street shopping, cafés, restaurants and a
9-hole golf course in a self-sustained ecosystem. Inspired by a vision to
shape a lifestyle rather than merely build homes, The Promenade Residences

Amit

Ltd., said, &quot;Today&#039;s homebuyers are looking
for destinations that offer not just premium homes, but an elevated lifestyle
supported by strong infrastructure, connectivity and long-term value. Over the
last two decades, Hinjewadi Phase 1 has evolved significantly from being a
market driven by smaller ticket-size homes to one that is increasingly attracting
discerning homebuyers seeking premium living. Post-pandemic, the neighbourhood
has matured into a well-established residential destination with world-class
social infrastructure, leading schools, healthcare facilities and a vibrant
community. Improved regional connectivity, including the Missing Link that has
reduced travel time to Mumbai to nearly 2.5 hours. The location today also
commands one of the highest residential rental values per sq. ft. in Pune,
reflecting its growing desirability and value appreciation. The Promenade
Residences has been thoughtfully conceived to build on this transformation by
offering premium riverfront residences within the established Blue Ridge
Township, setting a new benchmark for premium integrated township living in Hinjewadi.&quot;

Residents
will enjoy access to Blue Ridge&#039;s extensive lifestyle ecosystem featuring a 9-hole
golf course, swimming pool, fitness and dance studios, business hub, retail
avenue, work pods, community pavilion, indoor and outdoor play areas, art studio,
celebration hall, meeting lounges, nature deck, crèche, recreation lounge and
landscaped open spaces.

Designed
with a focus on space, privacy and functionality, The Promenade Residences
combines contemporary architecture with premium specifications and a
comprehensive lifestyle ecosystem. The residences feature open layouts,
expansive living and dining spaces, walk-in wardrobes, exclusive guest entry
and private decks overlooking the Mula River, creating homes that are both
functional and refined. Every aspect of the development from its spacious
residences and exclusive floor planning to its integrated amenities and
strategic location has been envisioned to offer residents a future-ready
address within one of Pune&#039;s most celebrated townships. With the launch of The
Promenade Residences, Paranjape Schemes further strengthens the Blue Ridge
legacy while reaffirming its commitment to creating thoughtfully planned
communities that seamlessly integrate homes, workplaces, recreation and social
infrastructure for generations to come.

<description><![CDATA[  

-
VYLOY is the first and only CLDN18.2-targeted treatment approved in the India
for adult patients with HER2 negative gastric and gastroesophageal junction
(GEJ) adenocarcinoma whose tumors are CLDN18.2 positive -

-
Central Drugs Standard Control Organization approval was based on the
global Phase 3 trials GLOW &amp; SPOTLIGHT where the combination treatment
extended median overall survival and progression free survival outcomes1 -

Mumbai,
India, 30th Jul 2026 : Astellas Pharma India today
announced that VYLOY (zolbetuximab) in combination with chemotherapy is now
available for the first-line treatment of adult patients with gastric or
gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma whose tumors are HER2 negative and CLDN18.2 positive in
India. This is the first and
only approved therapy in India to offer extended survival benefit in
combination with chemotherapy, the current standard of care for first-line
treatment of adult gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma whose
tumors are HER2 negative and CLDN18.2 positive.

The approval by Central
Drugs Standard Control Organization was supported by results from the
Phase 3 GLOW &amp; SPOTLIGHT clinical trials. The SPOTLIGHT study evaluated
VYLOY plus mFOLFOX6 (a combination chemotherapy regimen that includes
oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and fluorouracil) compared to placebo plus mFOLFOX6.
The GLOW study evaluated VYLOY plus CAPOX (a combination chemotherapy regimen
that includes capecitabine and oxaliplatin) compared to placebo plus CAPOX.
Both trials met their primary endpoint, progression-free survival (PFS), as
well as a key secondary endpoint, overall survival (OS), in patients treated
with VYLOY plus chemotherapy compared to placebo plus chemotherapy. Across the
SPOTLIGHT and GLOW trials, the most common all-grade treatment-emergent adverse
events (TEAEs) reported in the VYLOY treatment arms were nausea, vomiting and
decreased appetite.1

An FDA-approved test is used to identify
patients who may be eligible for VYLOY. The VENTANA CLDN18 (43-14A) RxDx Assay
from Roche is an FDA-approved IHC test used to help determine CLDN18.2 status.6

ABOUT GLOW &amp; SPOTLIGHT TRIALS

SPOTLIGHT is a Phase 3, global,
multi-center, double-blind, randomized study, assessing the efficacy and safety of
zolbetuximab plus mFOLFOX6 (a combination chemotherapy regimen that includes
oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and fluorouracil) compared to placebo plus mFOLFOX6 as
a first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced unresectable or
metastatic HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma whose tumors were
CLDN18.2 positive. The study enrolled 565 patients at 215 study locations in
the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Europe, South America, and Asia.
The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) in participants treated
with the combination of zolbetuximab plus mFOLFOX6 compared to those treated
with placebo plus mFOLFOX6. Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS),
objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), safety and
tolerability, and quality-of-life parameters.2

In SPOTLIGHT, median PFS was 10.6 months
(95% CI: 8.9, 12.5) in the zolbetuximab clzb/chemotherapy arm and 8.7 months
(95% CI: 8.2, 10.3) in the placebo/chemotherapy arm (hazard ratio [HR] 0.751
[95% CI: 0.598, 0.942]; 1-sided p-value=0.0066). Median OS was 18.2 months (95%
CI: 16.4, 22.9) and 15.5 months (95% CI: 13.5, 16.5), respectively, (HR 0.750
[95% CI: 0.601, 0.936]; 1-sided p-value=0.0053).2

Serious adverse reactions occurred in 45%
of patients treated with VYLOY in combination with mFOLFOX6; the most common
serious adverse reactions (≥2%) were vomiting (8%), nausea (7%), neutropenia
(2.9%), febrile neutropenia (2.9%), diarrhea (2.9%), intestinal obstruction
(3.2%), pyrexia (2.5%), pneumonia (2.5%), respiratory failure (2.2%), pulmonary
embolism (2.2%), decreased appetite (2.1%) and sepsis (2.0%). Fatal adverse
reactions occurred in 5% of patients who received VYLOY in combination with
mFOLFOX6 including sepsis (1.4%), pneumonia (1.1%), respiratory failure (1.1%),
intestinal obstruction (0.7%), acute hepatic failure (0.4%), acute myocardial
infarction (0.4%), death (0.4%), disseminated intravascular coagulation (0.4%),
encephalopathy (0.4%), and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (0.4%). Permanent
discontinuation of VYLOY due to an adverse reaction occurred in 20% of
patients; the most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation (≥2%)
were nausea and vomiting. Dosage interruptions of VYLOY due to an adverse
reaction occurred in 75% of patients; the most common adverse reactions leading
to dose interruption (≥5%) were nausea, vomiting, neutropenia, abdominal pain,
fatigue, and hypertension.2

GLOW is a Phase 3, global, multi-center,
double-blind, randomized study, assessing the efficacy and safety of zolbetuximab plus
CAPOX (a combination chemotherapy regimen that includes capecitabine and
oxaliplatin) compared to placebo plus CAPOX as a first-line treatment in patients
with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or GEJ
adenocarcinoma whose tumors were CLDN18.2 positive. The study enrolled 507
patients at 166 study locations in the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Europe,
South America, and Asia. The primary endpoint is PFS in participants treated
with the combination of zolbetuximab plus CAPOX compared to those treated with
placebo plus CAPOX. Secondary endpoints include OS, ORR, DOR, safety and
tolerability, and quality-of-life parameters.3

In GLOW, median PFS was 8.2 months (95%
CI: 7.5, 8.8) in the zolbetuximab/chemotherapy arm and 6.8 months (95% CI: 6.1,
8.1) in the placebo/chemotherapy arm (hazard ratio [HR] 0.687 [95% CI: 0.544,
0.866]; 1-sided p-value=0.0007). Median OS was 14.4 months (95% CI: 12.3, 16.5)
and 12.2 months (95% CI: 10.3, 13.7), respectively (HR 0.771 [95% CI: 0.615,
0.965]; 1-sided p-value=0.0118).3

About
VYLOY (zolbetuximab)

VYLOY™
(zolbetuximab) is a claudin 18.2-directed cytolytic antibody that is approved
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in combination with
fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy for the first-line
treatment of adults with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic human
epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative gastric or gastroesophageal
junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma whose tumors are claudin (CLDN) 18.2 positive as
determined by an FDA-approved test. As a first-in-class monoclonal antibody
(mAb), VYLOY targets and binds to CLDN18.2, a transmembrane protein. VYLOY
depletes CLDN18.2-positive cells via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity
(ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).1

Indication

VYLOY,
in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy, is
indicated for the first-line treatment of adults with locally advanced
unresectable or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2
(HER2)-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma whose
tumors are claudin (CLDN) 18.2 positive.6

About
Locally Advanced Unresectable Metastatic Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction
Cancer

Gastric
and gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer is the fifth most commonly
diagnosed cancer worldwide. GEJ adenocarcinoma is a cancer that starts at the
area where the esophagus joins the stomach. In India, it is estimated that
68,548 people are living with G/GEJ cancer with a mortality of 45,392 annually.4
Signs and symptoms can include indigestion or heartburn, pain or discomfort in
the abdomen, nausea and vomiting, bloating of the stomach after meals and loss
of appetite. Signs of more advanced G/GEJ cancer can include unexplained weight
loss, weakness and fatigue, and vomiting blood or having blood in the stool.
Risk factors associated with gastric and GEJ cancer can include older age, male
gender, family history, H. pylori infection, smoking, and gastroesophageal
reflux disease (GERD). Because early-stage gastric cancer symptoms frequently
overlap with more common stomach-related conditions, G/GEJ cancer is often
diagnosed in the advanced or metastatic stage, or once it has spread from the
tumor’s origin to other body tissues or organs. The five-year relative survival
rate for patients at the metastatic stage is 8.1%.5

<description><![CDATA[ Chennai
| July 2026: Hotel Growth Hub, founded by Arunkumar Raman, successfully
concluded Hotel Growth Summit – IGNITE 2026,
bringing together hotel owners from 65 cities across India for a premium
two-day learning and networking experience focused on the future of independent
hospitality.

Designed
exclusively for hotel owners, the summit provided practical strategies to help
hotels increase direct bookings, leverage Artificial Intelligence, strengthen
digital visibility, improve guest experiences and build sustainable businesses
with reduced dependence on Online Travel Agencies (OTAs).

Unlike
traditional conferences, the summit was built around implementation and
collaboration. Participants openly shared their business challenges, exchanged
successful strategies and worked together to develop practical action plans for
their hotels.

The
event featured 12 expert speaker sessions and four interactive breakout
workshops, covering topics such as 100 Doors of Hotel Growth, Anatomy of a
Winning Call, Hotel Owner Mirror, Breakthrough Moment, and the 90-Day Hotel
Growth Blueprint. Every session focused on practical implementation, enabling
hotel owners to return with clear strategies they could immediately apply to
their businesses.

The
summit also celebrated excellence within the Hotel Growth Hub community through
the presentation of 28 Hotel Growth Awards across four categories: Hotel Growth
Warrior, Hotel Growth Icon, Hotel Growth Inspirer and Hotel Growth Champion.

Several
community members shared inspiring success stories during the event,
demonstrating how the strategies learned through Hotel Growth Hub have helped
them improve occupancy, expand their businesses and accelerate growth. Their
experiences reinforced the community&#039;s collaborative approach, where hotel
owners openly learn from and support one another.

Speaking
after the summit, Arunkumar Raman,
Founder of Hotel Growth Hub, said:

&quot;Hotel Growth
Summit was never created to be another conference. It was created as a movement
where hotel owners help hotel owners. When knowledge, experiences and successful
strategies are shared openly, every hotel becomes stronger. Our mission is to
build a collaborative ecosystem where independent hotel owners can learn,
innovate and grow together.&quot;

Following
the overwhelming response to IGNITE 2026, Hotel Growth Hub announced that the
next edition of Hotel Growth Summit will be held in Delhi during the first week
of December 2026, with the venue and registration details to be announced
shortly.

With
a mission to empower 100,000 hotel owners, Hotel Growth Hub continues to
support independent hospitality businesses through coaching, consulting,
Artificial Intelligence, automation and implementation-focused learning
experiences, helping hotel owners build future-ready businesses and increase
direct bookings.

<title>Future Lawyers Must Become Innovators: Dr. Abhishek M. Singhvi at JGU’s 15th Convocation</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/future-lawyers-must-become-innovators-dr-abhishek-m-singhvi-at-jgus-15th-convocation</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Sonipat,
29 July 2026: Calling upon the next generation of legal professionals to
embrace innovation, uphold constitutional values and lead with integrity in an
era of unprecedented global transformation, Dr. Abhishek M. Singhvi, Senior
Advocate, Supreme Court of India and Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha),
delivered the Convocation Address as the Chief Guest at the 15th Convocation
Ceremony of O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU).

The
convocation marked a significant milestone in JGU’s academic journey as 5,604
students graduated across undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes.

Addressing
the graduating class, Dr. Singhvi congratulated the students on reaching a
defining milestone and reminded them that their achievements were part of a
much larger journey. “Each one of you has travelled a unique journey of
aspiration, sacrifice, perseverance and achievement. Today, your
accomplishments become part of a larger story—the story of an institution, a
profession, a nation, and indeed humanity’s enduring quest for justice,” he
said.

Describing
every convocation as both a culmination and a beginning, Dr. Singhvi reflected
on the role played by families, mentors and teachers in shaping every
graduate’s journey. “Every convocation marks the completion of an academic
journey, but the finest convocations remind us that they are, in truth, new
beginnings. Behind every graduate stands a story of encouragement, sacrifice
and unwavering faith. Long before success was certain, families invested their
time, energy and hope. They celebrated achievements, overcame disappointments
and quietly carried burdens that often went unseen.”

He
underscored that professional success must always be anchored in wisdom, ethics
and public service. “Knowledge alone will never be enough. Knowledge tells us
what is possible; wisdom reminds us what is desirable. Skills enable us to earn
a livelihood, but values determine whether that livelihood serves society.
Universities can impart knowledge, but character is shaped collectively through
experiences, institutions and the people who inspire us. Curiosity is the
engine of progress and humility is its compass.”

The
Founding Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University, Shri Naveen Jindal said,
“The Convocation is a day of great hope that each one of you will carry forward
the ideals of justice, constitutional values and public service that define the
noblest traditions of the legal profession. We are deeply privileged to be
joined by one of India&#039;s most distinguished constitutional lawyers,
parliamentarian and a public intellectual. Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi. For more
than four decades, Dr. Singhvi has stood at the forefront of India&#039;s
constitutional and legal discourse as one of the country&#039;s foremost senior
advocates. He has appeared in many of the most significant constitutional
cases, helping shape our constitutional jurisprudence through his scholarship,
advocacy, and unwavering commitment to the rule of law.”

Dr.
Abhishek M. Singhvi further praised JGU for creating an academic ecosystem that
champions research excellence, intellectual freedom and the fearless exchange
of ideas. “One of the most distinguished features of this university is its
unwavering commitment to research, something unfortunately lacking in many
parts of the Indian higher education system. JGU has one of the highest
research quotients in terms of scholarly publications and ensures that ideas
are transmitted from one generation to another. Equally important is the
university’s extraordinary commitment to diversity of thought, freedom of
speech and academic expression.” Highlighting JGU’s vibrant intellectual
culture, he observed that the university has become a national platform where
judges, diplomats, ministers, parliamentarians, scholars, activists and
policy-makers engage in meaningful dialogue. “Disagreement is not hostility.
Universities have a special responsibility to preserve the culture of debate.
Intellectual confidence is demonstrated not by avoiding different opinions but
by engaging with them thoughtfully and respectfully.”

Prof.
(Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, the Founding Vice Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global  University welcomed Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi
and said, “We are duly honoured by the distinguished
presence of India’s eminent jurist, senior Supreme Court advocate, a renowned
author and leading voice for jurisprudence and champion for the rule of law.
JGU’s  journey began with the vision to
bring world-class education to India. What started in 2009 as an idea with a
single school has evolved into a 12-school multidisciplinary institution. As we
have grown stronger with over 16,000 students, we have also ensured a
consistent expansion of our academic community to bring quality education to
our students. We are delighted to welcome Dr. Singhvi as the Chief Guest to
confer the qualifying degrees on JGU”s graduating law students. ” 

Reflecting
on the defining characteristics of great universities, Dr. Singhvi said
institutions must ultimately be judged by the ideas they cultivate and the
confidence they instil in their students. “Universities are built on minds and
values. Institutions become great because teachers inspire, administrators
enable and every member of the academic community contributes to a shared
vision. Rankings, infrastructure and placements certainly matter, but they
never tell the complete story. The true measure of a university lies in the
questions it encourages, the ideas it nurtures and the confidence with which it
prepares students to engage with a rapidly changing world.”

Paying
tribute to the late Shri O.P. Jindal, Dr. Singhvi hailed his legacy as one of
India’s great institution-builders and acknowledged the vision of Shri Naveen
Jindal, Founding Chancellor of JGU, for transforming that legacy into a
globally respected university. “Across history, societies have advanced not
only because of entrepreneurs, but because of visionaries who recognised that
the highest purpose of wealth is to create opportunities for others. Shri O.P.
Jindal belonged to that rare tradition of institution-builders who understood
that education is perhaps the greatest instrument of social transformation ever
created. The most enduring legacy of any great philanthropist is not the
buildings they leave behind, but the dreams they make possible. Every graduate
receiving a degree today is part of that extraordinary legacy. Philanthropy,
when practised with vision, is nation-building.”

Dr.
Singhvi also applauded JGU’s pioneering initiatives in preserving India’s
constitutional and judicial heritage through its museums and centres of
excellence. “Each time I visit this remarkable campus, I am struck by its
imagination and creativity. The Constitution Museum and the Chief Justices’
Museum are pioneering institutions that combine originality, technology and
scholarship to make India’s constitutional history accessible to future
generations.”

He
also recalled Shri Naveen Jindal’s landmark constitutional battle that secured
every Indian citizen’s right to fly the National Flag with dignity and pride.
“He was standing up for a constitutional principle—that love for one’s country
should find expression through the National Flag. His determination, clarity of
purpose and quiet persistence transformed an individual grievance into a
constitutional milestone.”

Emphasising
the indispensable role of universities in strengthening democracy, Dr. Singhvi
observed: “Universities perform their highest function when they become spaces
where ideas compete rather than identities collide. Democracies flourish when
arguments are stronger than echo chambers. As a constitutional lawyer, I have
always believed that disagreement is not democracy’s weakness. Courts function
through the adversarial process because opposing arguments are heard with equal
seriousness. Universities must fulfil that same mission by encouraging students
to question respectfully, disagree intelligently and change their minds when
persuaded by better evidence.”

Turning
to the graduating law students, Dr. Singhvi reflected on the profound
transformations reshaping the legal profession and urged them to become
architects of change. “You belong to a world where artificial intelligence is
reshaping professions, constitutional democracies are confronting new
challenges, climate change ignores national borders, digital technologies are
redefining privacy, liberty and accountability, and where law itself is being
asked questions, previous generations could scarcely have imagined. This is a
defining era. Your generation must therefore become innovators.”

He
concluded by encouraging graduates to uphold justice with courage, integrity
and compassion, reminding them that the future of the legal profession would
belong to those who combine intellectual excellence with ethical leadership,
constitutional commitment and an unwavering dedication to public service. ]]></description>

<title>Sustainable Logistics:  How Savy Infra &amp;amp; Logistics Limited is Powering the Future of Heavy&#45;Duty EV Transportation</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/sustainable-logistics-how-savy-infra-logistics-limited-is-powering-the-future-of-heavy-duty-ev-transportation</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sustainable-logistics-how-savy-infra-logistics-limited-is-powering-the-future-of-heavy-duty-ev-transportation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

India&#039;s logistics sector is undergoing a
notable transformation. The businesses are focussed on not only improving
operational efficiency, but also embracing cleaner, more sustainable practices.
Amid this environment of change, the movement of goods is gradually witnessing
a shift from conventional fuel-powered transportation towards electric mobility.
This is a massive change and an important one. 

While the adoption of electric vehicles
has gathered momentum in passenger transport and last-mile delivery, the
heavy-duty logistics segment remains relatively untapped. Is there an
opportunity, here, therefore? 

Now, it is in this evolving landscape
that Savy Infra &amp; Logistics Limited is steadily carving out a distinctive
place for itself.

A Gujarat-based, listed company with over
a decade and a half of experience in logistics and supply chain solutions, Savy
Infra &amp; Logistics Limited has built its reputation by delivering reliable
services to clients across India. 

The firm is committed to advancing
sustainable logistics solutions that contribute to a cleaner and greener
future.

Today, the company, already on a journey
defined by growth, is taking another important step by expanding its operations
in the strategically significant Gandhidham region of Gujarat.

Located close to one of India&#039;s busiest
port ecosystems, Gandhidham serves as a crucial logistics hub where the
seamless movement of goods is essential for industries and businesses operating
in and around the region. 

Recognising both the opportunity and the
responsibility that comes with operating in such an environment, Savy Infra
&amp; Logistics Limited has deployed 15 pure electric trucks insofar to support
logistics and transportation requirements for a respected corporate client.

This is a significant step for more than
one reason. 

Port-centric logistics typically involve
frequent movement of cargo over relatively short distances, with trucks making
multiple trips every day between ports, warehouses and industrial facilities.
Traditionally, these movements have relied heavily on diesel-powered vehicles.
While effective, they also contribute to tremendous fuel consumption and carbon
emissions. 

All of this, therefore, makes
sustainability an increasingly important consideration for businesses. A factor
that modern businesses must never ignore and take actionable steps toward! 

So by introducing electric trucks into
this ecosystem, Savy Infra &amp; Logistics Limited is demonstrating how cleaner
transportation solutions can be integrated into mainstream logistics operations
without compromising efficiency. 

At present, the company is focusing on
routes of up to approximately 100 kilometres, a distance well suited to the
current capabilities of heavy-duty electric vehicles. 

As charging infrastructure continues to
improve and technology advances, the scope for expanding these operations is
expected to grow further.

Government support for electric mobility
is also playing a vital role in accelerating this transition. 

Continued investments in charging
infrastructure and policy support- and the firm hopes more shall come in the
imminent future- are creating an environment where commercial electric
transportation is becoming increasingly practical. 

For companies prepared to embrace this
change early, the opportunity extends beyond operational efficiency to
contributing meaningfully towards India&#039;s broader sustainability goals.

Heavy-duty electric trucking continues to
be an emerging segment with relatively few organised players. In such a
developing market, Savy Infra &amp; Logistics Limited&#039;s early focus on pure EV
logistics reflects both foresight and a willingness to invest in solutions that
align with the future of transportation. 

As more corporates look to strengthen
their environmental commitments and reduce the carbon footprint of their supply
chains, sustainable logistics is steadily moving from being an aspiration to
becoming a business imperative.

For Savy Infra &amp; Logistics Limited,
the expansion into Gandhidham represents more than the addition of a new
operational footprint. It reflects a long-term vision of combining dependable
logistics expertise with responsible innovation. 

By strengthening its presence in one of
Gujarat&#039;s key logistics corridors while championing cleaner freight movement,
the company is positioning itself as a trusted partner for businesses seeking
efficient, future-ready and environmentally conscious logistics solutions.

As India&#039;s logistics landscape continues
to evolve, initiatives such as these underline an important reality. It’s that
the future of freight transportation will not be defined solely by speed and
scale, but equally by sustainability. 

Through measured expansion and purposeful
adoption of electric mobility, Savy Infra &amp; Logistics Limited is excited to
reach a place where that future moves closer to reality. And this is a very
exciting place for the company to be contributing to.

<title>A Proud Milestone for Nexodus, Satyam Exim &amp;amp; P.S.R.K Global Trade</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/a-proud-milestone-for-nexodus-satyam-exim-psrk-global-trade</link>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi : National territory of India: A
significant milestone has been achieved as Nexodus, Satyam Exim, and P.S.R.K
Global Trade continue their mission of empowering entrepreneurs and transforming
businesses across India and beyond. The leadership behind the three brands was
recently honoured with the Certificate of Excellence at the Bharat Export
Summit 2026, recognising their contribution towards business development,
international trade, and entrepreneurial empowerment.

While the recognition marks an important
achievement, the founders believe it is far more than an award—it is a reminder
of the responsibility they have taken upon themselves to help aspiring
entrepreneurs build successful businesses and compete confidently in both
domestic and international markets.

The journey of Nexodus, Satyam Exim, and
P.S.R.K Global Trade began with one simple vision: to make entrepreneurship
accessible to everyone.

Across India, thousands of talented
individuals have innovative ideas, valuable skills, and the determination to
build something meaningful. Yet many hesitate to take the first step because
they believe that business, manufacturing, branding, or exports are
opportunities reserved only for large corporations or established business
families.

The leadership team believes that this
perception has prevented countless entrepreneurs from reaching their true
potential.

Their mission is to bridge this gap.

Not just by offering services—but by building
an ecosystem where every aspiring entrepreneur receives the right guidance,
professional support, industry network, and practical execution required to
transform an idea into a successful business.

Each of the three brands plays a unique
role in achieving this mission.

Nexodus serves as the starting point for
entrepreneurs and businesses looking to build a strong foundation. The company
specialises in Business Advisory, Brand Development, Digital Marketing,
Marketing Strategy, Business Consulting, Product Positioning, Market Research,
and Growth Planning. Rather than simply promoting businesses online, Nexodus
focuses on creating brands with a clear identity, a sustainable business model,
and long-term growth strategies.

Once a business is prepared for expansion,
Satyam Exim takes the next step by helping entrepreneurs enter international
markets. The company provides Export Consulting, Product Development,
International Market Research, Buyer Development, Export Documentation,
Compliance Guidance, Manufacturing Support, Quality Management, and Export
Readiness Solutions. Its objective is to simplify exports for Indian businesses
and enable them to compete confidently on a global stage.

Completing the ecosystem is P.S.R.K Global
Trade, which focuses on the execution side of international business. The
organisation supports entrepreneurs through Export Execution, Shipment
Coordination, Customs Procedures, International Logistics, Supply Chain
Guidance, and Global Trade Operations, ensuring that businesses successfully
move from planning to execution.

Together, Nexodus, Satyam Exim, and P.S.R.K
Global Trade provide an integrated business ecosystem that supports
entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey.

From identifying the right business
opportunity…

To validating ideas…

Developing products…

Building brands…

Creating marketing strategies…

Finding buyers…

Completing export documentation…

Executing international shipments…

And ultimately scaling businesses globally.

The vision has always been much larger than
providing individual services. The objective is to become a trusted business
growth partner that walks alongside entrepreneurs from idea to execution and
from local markets to global opportunities.

Over the past few years, the organisations
have worked closely with manufacturers, farmers, startups, MSMEs, exporters,
business owners, and aspiring entrepreneurs through consulting, practical
training programmes, business advisory sessions, and export development
initiatives.

One of their most impactful initiatives has
been the Exports &amp; Imports Training Program, where participants receive
practical exposure to international trade rather than only theoretical
knowledge. Entrepreneurs learn about export documentation, buyer development,
logistics, customs procedures, international markets, compliance, shipment
processes, and business execution through real-world examples and hands-on
learning experiences.

Beyond training, the organisations are
actively building an entrepreneurial ecosystem where manufacturers, suppliers,
farmers, logistics partners, customs professionals, exporters, and industry
experts can collaborate, exchange knowledge, and create long-term business
opportunities together.

Today, Nexodus, Satyam Exim, and P.S.R.K
Global Trade are extending their business support across Visakhapatnam,
Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, and Dubai, helping entrepreneurs access professional
services in business advisory, branding, digital marketing, export consulting,
international trade, and execution support. As the organisations continue to
expand, their long-term vision is to reach entrepreneurs across many more
cities and international markets.

Speaking on the occasion, the leadership
team expressed heartfelt gratitude to every entrepreneur, client, manufacturing
partner, mentor, supplier, and business associate who has trusted them
throughout this journey.

“This recognition belongs to every
entrepreneur who believed in our vision,” the team shared. “Awards inspire us,
but our real achievement is seeing businesses grow, creating employment, and
helping entrepreneurs build companies they are proud of.”

Looking ahead, the organisations plan to
introduce more business advisory programmes, expand their export community,
strengthen international partnerships, and launch new initiatives focused on
manufacturing, branding, business strategy, and global trade.

Their ambition is clear—to build one of
India’s most trusted business ecosystems where entrepreneurs can access
everything they need under one roof, including Business Advisory, Digital
Marketing, Branding, Manufacturing Support, Product Development, Export
Consulting, Documentation, Buyer Development, Logistics, International Trade,
and Export Execution.

The Certificate of Excellence received at
the Bharat Export Summit 2026 represents an important milestone in this
journey. More importantly, it reinforces the organisations’ commitment to
empowering entrepreneurs, creating opportunities, and contributing to India’s
growing global presence.

For Nexodus, Satyam Exim, and P.S.R.K
Global Trade, this recognition is not the destination—it is the beginning of a
much bigger mission.

A mission to ensure that no entrepreneur
gives up on a dream simply because they lacked the right guidance, the right
strategy, or the right network. A mission to bridge the gap between ideas and
execution. A mission to help businesses grow from local to global.

Because every successful company once
started with a single idea—and this is only the beginning.

<title>The LEGO Group marks another milestone in India with its first LEGO Certified Store in Mumbai</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-lego-group-marks-another-milestone-in-india-with-its-first-lego-certified-store-in-mumbai</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
28 July 2026: The LEGO Group expanded its retail footprint
in India with the opening of its first LEGO Certified Store in Mumbai on July
25. Located at the R City Mall in Ghatkopar, and launched in collaboration with
the Ample Group, the new store brings the world of LEGO creativity and play to
the city. The launch marks the fifth LEGO Certified Store in India, just over a
year after the company opened its first store at Ambience Mall, Gurugram,
followed by two stores in Bengaluru and one in Chennai. 

 

With
the opening of the store, LEGO fans in Mumbai will now have access to more than
250 LEGO sets, including sought-after products such as the LEGO® Technic™
Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear Megacar or the LEGO® Icons Arcade Pinball Machine,
which are only available at LEGO Certified Stores. The store opening was
attended by popular actors and digital creators, including Rannvijay Singha, Ayush Mehra,
Agasthya Shah, Raunaq
Rajani and Ishpreet
Balbbir, who joined fans in a day of building
challenges, live interactions, and creator-led games.

A
world record, built brick by brick

The
launch celebrations invited LEGO fans of Mumbai to become part of history as
they joined Ritam Bhatnagar, a famous Adult LEGO Fan in India, in setting a
Guinness World Records™ feat for the world&#039;s largest LEGO brick mosaic
(Multiple Panels). Built live using 738,000 LEGO bricks, each face of the cube
brought iconic elements synonymous with Mumbai to life in brick form, from the
Bandra-Worli Sea Link to the city&#039;s taxis and coastline, with a &quot;Hello
Mumbai&quot; mosaic crowning the build.



Inspired
by Mumbai, built for play

Spanning
2,310 sq. ft., the store is home to unique experiences like India&#039;s first LEGO
vertical Play Wall. Visitors can discover Mumbai-themed models and mosaics,
including a LEGO Dabbawala model built with 29,000 bricks and vibrant pop-art
designs inspired by local landmarks such as the Gateway of India, Marine Drive,
the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the iconic Kaali Peeli taxi. Inspired by Mumbai&#039;s
rich culture and creativity, the store reflects the imagination and hands-on
play at the heart of the LEGO brand.



Bhavana
Mandon, Country Manager, LEGO India said,
&quot;Mumbai was built from seven islands joined into one—a city quite
literally assembled piece by piece. We could imagine no more natural home for
the LEGO brand in India. We took play to the streets with a LEGO Play Truck
roaming across the city, a LEGO Kaali Peeli taxi delighting passers-by, and a
LEGO Metro guided fans to their destination: The LEGO Store. That same playful
spirit came to life inside the store through never-before-seen play experiences
and brick-built tributes inspired by the city. We&#039;re thrilled to have the Ample
Group as our partner on this journey and, as we look ahead, we remain committed
to bringing the joy of play to more people, in more cities, across India.&quot;

Rajesh
Narang, Founder &amp; CEO, Ample Group said &quot;The
launch of our first LEGO Certified Store in Mumbai is another significant
milestone in Ample&#039;s journey of bringing world-class retail experiences closer
to consumers across India. At Ample, we have always believed that great retail
goes beyond transactions - it creates moments of discovery, connection, and
lasting memories. This store reflects that vision. We are excited to offer
Mumbai a destination where families, children, and LEGO fans of all ages can imagine,
create, and experience the joy of play in an immersive environment. As we
continue to expand our premium retail footprint, we remain committed to
creating experiences that inspire, engage, and bring communities
together.&quot;

Anuradha
Singh, Head of Retail, Runwal Realty said “We are delighted
to welcome the first LEGO Certified Store to R City Mall, further strengthening
our commitment to bringing iconic global brands and flagship retail experiences
to Mumbai. As a one-stop destination for shopping, dining, entertainment and
lifestyle, R City continually evolves its portfolio to offer customers
differentiated, experience-led destinations. The addition of the LEGO store
enhances our family-focused retail offering, bringing a globally loved brand
that inspires creativity and play while reinforcing our position as a preferred
destination for consumers. We are confident this partnership will enrich the
customer experience, attract new audiences and add significant value to our
retail portfolio.&quot;

On
launch day, Mumbai showed up to play 

The
celebrations kicked off with over 300 children from across the city coming
together for a day of creativity, building and play. Excitement continued to
grow as popular digital creators Rannvijay Singha, Ayush Mehra, Agasthya Shah,
Raunaq Rajani, and Ishpreet Balbir joined the festivities, adding to the buzz
across the store. From high-energy activities to hands-on building experiences
across the LEGO display areas, children and adults alike came together to
celebrate the limitless possibilities of LEGO play. Fans of all ages explored
the store, discovered their favourite LEGO sets and took home a piece of the
experience as Mumbai officially welcomed its first LEGO Certified Store.

Taking
the joy of play beyond launch day

The
launch weekend continues with initiatives that extend the joy of LEGO play
beyond the store. On 26 July, families came together to build specially

process. The completed builds will be donated to hospitals. The LEGO Group has

<description><![CDATA[  

Founder
&amp; CEO Nikhil Gaur says the numbers validate a bet no other Indian B-school
was willing to make: treating revenue as a discipline in its own right.

Gurugram
(Haryana) [India], 28th July: Hive School of Business - India&#039;s first
dedicated Revenue B-School, as seen on Shark Tank India - has closed its
2025–26 placement season with an average CTC of ₹16.47 LPA and a
highest package of ₹27.8 LPA (Annual Placement Report 2025–26).
The average places the young Gurugram institution in the same bracket as
several of India&#039;s newer IIMs!

But
the numbers are the outcome. The story is what produced them.

Placement
Report 2025–26 — key numbers: Average - ₹16.47 LPA, Median - ₹15 LPA,
Highest - ₹27.8 LPA, Top 25% Average - ₹21.93 LPA, Top 50% Average - ₹18.63
LPA, Top 75% Average - ₹17.65 LPA

The
gap every B-school left open

For
three decades, Indian management education has taught sales through a single
lens: FMCG. Distribution networks, territory management, the retail beat -
frameworks built for an economy where selling meant moving boxes through kirana
stores. Meanwhile, the highest-paying revenue roles in the country quietly moved
somewhere else entirely: B2B SaaS and go-to-market. Pipeline design,
enterprise sales cycles, revenue operations, customer success economics - the
functions Indian tech companies struggle hardest to hire for are precisely the
ones no traditional classroom prepares students for. At most B-schools, sales
was never treated as a core discipline at all; it survives as an elective.

Outcome
first, curriculum second

Hive
School attacked the problem from the other end. Instead of starting with a
syllabus, it started with the roles - Founder&#039;s Office, GTM, Growth, Strategy,
Program Management -  studied what
companies actually need from a hire on day one, and built its entire 9-month
Postgraduate Program in Revenue, AI, and Entrepreneurship backwards from
those outcomes. Delivered fully offline, the program runs on weekly business
challenges, live simulations, sprints and founder-led workshops, with a
curriculum designed alongside startup leaders and operators, and students
mentored by people currently doing these jobs at leading tech companies.

This
season&#039;s recruiter list reflects the thesis. Established, globally recognised
names - Adobe, Yatra and Payoneer - hired alongside fast-scaling
startups, for high-ownership roles across Founder&#039;s Office, GTM, Growth, Strategy
and Program Management. In all, Hive School ran placement processes with over
50+ recruiters, spanning BlinkIt, Google and LinkedIn alongside D2C
brands and established enterprises. (View the full list of recruiters)

Why
more money can&#039;t copy it

Could
established B-schools simply replicate the model tomorrow? Hive School&#039;s bet is
that budget was never the constraint - design is. The edge sits in granular
decisions: a curriculum rebuilt cohort by cohort from live industry work,
taught by active operators rather than career academics, and planned by asking
what industry will need five years from now rather than what an
accreditation checklist required five years ago. That is not a problem more
money solves; it is a problem a different operating model solves.

&quot;The
future of education is highly targeted outcomes and only the inputs that
produce them. We looked five years ahead at what the industry will hire for,
built backwards from those roles, and the market has now priced that bet. Our
goal remains to be among India&#039;s Top 20 B-Schools by 2030,&quot; said Nikhil
Gaur, Founder, Hive School.

Learning
stays on the ground throughout, with students taken for industry immersions to
brands like Big Boy Toyz, PeeSafe and Culture Circle.

With
admissions open for its next cohort,
Hive School of Business is doubling down on a model it believes previews where
Indian education is headed - highly targeted outcomes, engineered input by
input - giving freshers and early-career professionals a credible, high-return
alternative to the traditional MBA path.

About
Hive School: Hive School is India&#039;s first dedicated
Revenue B-School. Its flagship 9-month Postgraduate Program in Revenue, Technology,
and Entrepreneurship is delivered fully offline and led by top startup
operators, and now spans an AI Marketing Fellowship and Undergraduate Programs.
Backed by a growing placement track record and a strong community of founders
and investors, Hive School is redefining business education for the next
generation. ]]></description>

<title>K&#45;Pra Foods Gives Maharashtra&amp;apos;s Legendary Flavours a Contemporary Twist with Its New Chutney Range</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Backed
by a legacy dating to 1948, the home-grown food brand is reimagining authentic
Marathi flavours for the way India eats today. 

Pune,
Maharashtra : Food habits are evolving, but India&#039;s love
for bold flavours has never been stronger. 

From
Schezwan noodles and spicy sandwiches to Korean ramen and fiery street-food
creations, younger consumers are actively experimenting with intense, global
flavours. As Korean cuisine continues to gain popularity across India, it
reflects a broader shift towards bold, spicy and flavour-rich food experiences
among younger consumers. 

But
long before international chilli sauces entered Indian kitchens, Maharashtra
had already perfected the art of spice through its legendary red and green
chilli thechas, fiery chutneys and Kolhapuri flavours.

Seeing
this shift in consumer behaviour, K-Pra Foods, one of Maharashtra&#039;s most
trusted food brands, identified an opportunity to bring regional flavours into
modern eating habits. The result is its new range of Achaari Chutney and
Kolhapuri Chutney, created to make authentic Marathi flavours more
versatile, contemporary and relevant for today&#039;s generation.

From
a Home Kitchen to Over 25,000 Retail Stores

K-Pra&#039;s
journey began in Pune in 1948, in a traditional family kitchen where authentic
Maharashtrian recipes were lovingly prepared. What started with one
generation&#039;s passion has been carried forward and strengthened by the next,
evolving into a trusted food brand that offers spices, flours, pickles,
ready-to-cook products, premixes, and everyday kitchen essentials.

Today,
K-Pra Foods reaches over 25,000 retail stores across Maharashtra, staying true
to its founding mission:

&quot;Marathi
Chav Gharoghar&quot; - Taking Marathi taste to every Home

The
Market Was Asking for Spice. K-Pra Answered in Marathi.

The
idea for the new category emerged from changing consumption patterns observed
across households, street-food counters and food-delivery platforms.

Schezwan
chutney had moved beyond Chinese food. It was being added to Maggi, sandwiches,
rolls, dosas, fried snacks and home-cooked meals. Children and young adults had
begun asking for it almost instinctively.

This
raised an important question for K-Pra:

When
Maharashtra already has such rich and legendary spices, why should its flavours
remain limited to traditional meals?

“We
saw younger consumers embracing bold international flavours in almost
everything they ate,” said Kedar Bhat, Director, K-Pra Foods. “But
Maharashtra already has its own powerful language of spice. Our purpose was not
to compete with changing food habits but to place authentic Marathi flavour at
the centre of them.”

That
insight became the foundation of Meri Wali Chutney, a range designed for
modern eating occasions while staying connected to K-Pra’s culinary roots.

Dip
It. Spread It. Cook with It.

Meri
Wali Chutney was not created as an accompaniment that quietly sits in the
corner of a plate.

It
was developed as a versatile, ready-to-use product that can be enjoyed as a dip,
used as a spread or added while cooking. From samosas, pakodas and
sandwiches to rolls, noodles, Maggi and everyday meals, the chutney allows
familiar Maharashtrian spice to travel across cuisines and occasions.

The
ambition was clear: to encourage a shift from automatically reaching for
international sauces to discovering a distinctly Maharashtrian alternative.

Not
by asking young consumers to change what they eat, but by giving them a new way
to enjoy it.

Turning
a Chutney into Something Personal

 “Meri Wali.”

The
phrase immediately made the product feel personal. It sounded less like a
conventional advertising claim and more like something consumers would
naturally say at a dining table or street-food counter.

This
led to the campaign’s signature expression:

“India
Maange… Meri Wali Chutney Maar Ke!”

People
do not build emotional connections with categories. They build them with things
they can call their own. The idea of ‘Meri Wali’ gave the chutney an identity
that was familiar, conversational and highly adaptable. It transformed the
product from another condiment into a personal preference.”

more details, please visit: https://meriwalichutney.in/

Packaging
That Refused to Blend In

In
a category crowded with similar visual codes, traditional imagery and competing
claims, the packaging needed to create immediate shelf impact.

Instead
of adding more decorative elements, the team focused on what mattered most: visibility,
recall and relevance.

A
clean design language, bold typography and vibrant colours gave the range a
contemporary personality created especially for younger consumers. The
packaging was designed not merely to contain the product, but to become the
first conversation between K-Pra and the shopper.

The
communication extended across digital campaigns, AI-led videos, retail
danglers, product dispensers, outdoor media and bus shelters, creating
visibility at multiple consumer touchpoints.

Building
a Category, Not Just Launching a Product

With
Meri Wali Chutney, K-Pra is not simply adding another product to the condiment
aisle. It is seeking to create a new habit around regional flavour.

The
brand’s larger vision is to make Marathi chutneys as accessible, versatile and
culturally relevant as the international sauces now found in modern kitchens.

Because
the most memorable campaigns do not always teach people entirely new
behaviours. Sometimes, they understand an existing habit and give consumers a
more meaningful choice.

For
a new generation that loves experimenting with food, K-Pra is bringing
Maharashtra’s spice legacy into sandwiches, rolls, snacks, noodles and
everything in between.

And
after nearly eight decades of preserving Marathi taste, the brand is now ready
to make it personal.

Not
just any chutney.

Meri
Wali Chutney.

<title>IIT Jodhpur&amp;apos;s MBA Technology Programme Attracts Experienced Professionals Across Diverse Sectors</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/iit-jodhpurs-mba-technology-programme-attracts-experienced-professionals-across-diverse-sectors</link>

<description><![CDATA[  

National,
28th July 2026 : As artificial intelligence and data-driven
decision-making reshape leadership expectations across sectors, a growing
number of highly experienced professionals, some with over a decade of work
experience, are choosing to formally upskill, even in fields long considered
insulated from this kind of pressure.

IIT
Jodhpur&#039;s MBA Technology program was designed to widen access to management
education, reducing the minimum work-experience requirement from the
industry-standard three-plus years to two. The program takes a technology-first
approach, offering two specialization tracks - Analytics &amp; AI, and Digital
Product Management. Admitted students also gain access to the institution&#039;s IIT
alumni network.



The
programme&#039;s positioning reflects this shift, built around a technology-centric
curriculum, focused specialization tracks in Analytics &amp; AI and Digital
Product Management, and flexibility designed for working professionals. This
structure allows candidates to build capabilities that align closely with contemporary
industry requirements, without stepping away from their current roles and
responsibilities.

What
was intended as a program to lower the barrier to entry has instead attracted a
cohort defined by unusually deep professional experience. Early admissions
include a business owner running an export business, an army officer, and a
practicing doctor preparing to eventually run his own business. None of these
professionals needed this degree to keep their jobs, they chose it to change
how they make decisions.

Within
the program, one trend stands out, enrollment in the Analytics &amp; AI track
is significantly outpacing Digital Product Management. &quot;What we&#039;re seeing
is a direct response to an identified gap,&quot; said Prof. Avinash Kumar
Agarwal, Director, IIT Jodhpur. &quot;Professionals across fields are
recognizing that better decisions, not just better products, are what will
differentiate them going forward. That&#039;s why Analytics &amp; AI is resonating
so strongly.&quot;

Taken
together, these patterns reflect a broader shift toward continuous learning as
a defining feature of professional growth today. Upskilling is increasingly
seen not as a decision tied to career stage or job security, but as an ongoing
investment in staying relevant within a fast-evolving, technology-driven
landscape.

About

Jodhpur), established in 2008, is an Institute of National Importance committed
to advancing education, research, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Located on

Board declares first

have begun the year with strong momentum — growing revenue and profit by over a
third year-on-year while improving our asset quality. Our capital position
remains robust, and we are deploying it into disciplined growth: diversifying
our product suite, deepening our EV and rural presence, and taking our first
steps into South India. The interim dividend reflects both our confidence in
the business and our commitment to rewarding shareholders as we scale. This
year, we project our AUM to grow by 35–40%.”

The Company’s statutory
auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the results for the quarter.
Manba continued to maintain full asset cover on its listed secured
non-convertible debentures and reported no transfer of non-performing assets
during the quarter. ]]></description>

<title>Innefu Labs Pushes the Frontier of Sovereign AI for National Security with I3C&#45;IIT Jammu Research Alliance</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/innefu-labs-pushes-the-frontier-of-sovereign-ai-for-national-security-with-i3c-iit-jammu-research-alliance</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/innefu-labs-pushes-the-frontier-of-sovereign-ai-for-national-security-with-i3c-iit-jammu-research-alliance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, July 2026 : Innefu Labs Limited, India&#039;s pioneering
Sovereign AI-native Company for National Security, has entered into a strategic
MoU with the Institute Incubation &amp; Innovation Council (I3C) of IIT Jammu,
an Institute of National Importance. The collaboration extends Innefu&#039;s
research frontier across some of the most sensitive domains in applied AI for
National Security, from Intelligence Fusion to Drone Forensics to zero-trust
systems architecture, reinforcing its position as the country&#039;s foremost
builder of AI capability for National Security Agencies.

The
partnership arrives at a pivotal moment for India&#039;s technology sovereignty
ambitions. As global powers race to indigenize their most sensitive AI
capabilities rather than depend on foreign platforms, this collaboration
signals a deliberate move to build that capability at home, anchoring
cutting-edge research inside Indian institutions and translating it into
deployable, mission-ready systems for the country&#039;s Defence, Intelligence, and
Law Enforcement establishments.

A
Research Agenda Built for the AI-Native Era

The
scope of collaboration spans a deliberately ambitious set of technical domains:
Intelligence Fusion AI-based algorithms and applications, Secure System Design
and Zero-Trust Architectures, Identity and Key Management Systems, AI-based
Cyber Forensics, Drone Forensics, and Open Source Intelligence analysis,
including deep and dark web environments. Each of these represents a capability
area where India&#039;s security establishment has historically leaned on fragmented
or externally-sourced tooling. This MoU is a step toward changing that, with
Innefu setting the technical direction.

&quot;India&#039;s
national security establishment cannot afford to build its future on borrowed
infrastructure,&quot; said Tarun Wig, Co-Founder and CEO,
Innefu Labs. &quot;This collaboration with I3C-IIT Jammu is about doing
the hard, foundational research, in intelligence fusion, in zero-trust systems,
in drone and cyber forensics, inside Indian institutions, with Indian talent,
for Indian security needs. We are not interested in incremental improvements to
existing tools. We are building the next generation of sovereign AI capability
from first principles, and partnerships like this one are how that gets done.&quot;

Why
This Matters Now

Drone
forensics and OSINT-driven intelligence fusion sit at the leading edge of
applied AI research globally, with direct relevance to counter-terrorism,
border security, and law enforcement operations. Few Indian companies have the
combination of applied R&amp;D depth and operational deployment experience with
government and defence clients that Innefu brings to a collaboration of this
kind, and few academic institutions carry the research rigor and national
mandate that IIT Jammu, as an Institute of National Importance through I3C-IIT
Jammu, offers as a partner.

By
formalizing this collaboration, Innefu Labs continues to position itself as a
builder of the underlying research and technology base that India&#039;s security
apparatus will depend on in the years ahead, a distinction that matters as the
country moves deeper into what industry observers are increasingly calling the
AI-native era of National Security.

Raised

Regiment, the oldest risala and the senior-most regiment of the Indian Armed
Forces. For more than two and a half centuries, it has stood as a symbol of
honour, courage, discipline and selfless service to the nation. Its soldiers
are uniquely trained as both paratroopers and tankmen, balancing ceremonial
excellence with operational readiness, while continuing to serve in some of the
country’s most challenging environments, including annual deployments to the
Siachen Glacier. The inaugural President’s Bodyguard Soldierathon pays tribute
to pays tribute to the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of this

in honour of the personal troops of the Hon’ble President of India. By doing
so, participants can become part of a proud legacy that has safeguarded the

exemplifies the highest traditions of courage, discipline, and selfless
service. It is an even greater honour that the Hon&#039;ble President of India is

significance and making it a truly defining moment in the legacy of The
President&#039;s Bodyguard.”

Speaking
about the initiative, Shilpa Bhagat, Co-founder of Fitistan, added: “The

distinguished military regiments and honour a legacy that represents courage,
discipline and service. Through fitness, we are bringing citizens and soldiers
together while supporting causes that make a meaningful difference to the lives
of our Armed Forces. We are proud that the inaugural edition celebrates the
remarkable 253-year journey of The President’s Bodyguard.”

The
Soldierathon movement has, over the years, inspired thousands of Indians to
embrace the ideals of service before self, resilience, discipline and national
pride. Guided by the vision of visionary leaders including Dr APJ Abdul Kalam,
General Bipin Rawat and its current Patron, General VK Singh, the movement
continues to strengthen the connection between citizens and the Armed Forces
through fitness and purposeful action. Wonder Cement’s participation as
Principal Partner and Bhutani Infra as the Powered by Partner reflecting the

<title>Sugee Group Marks its Debut in Thane with a 50+ Acres Waterfront Development</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/sugee-group-marks-its-debut-in-thane-with-a-50-acres-waterfront-development</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sugee-group-marks-its-debut-in-thane-with-a-50-acres-waterfront-development</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The waterfront development is envisioned as an
integrated, globally benchmarked ecosystem around Siddheshwar Lake

Mumbai, July 27, 2026: Sugee Group, a Mumbai
based global developer with an expanding footprint from Mumbai, Lisbon and the
United Arab Emirates, has marked its strategic entry into Thane, signalling a
significant new chapter in its growth journey. Known for its strong execution
and premium developments across high-impact locations in Mumbai like
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Park, Dadar, Matunga, Worli and Mulund, Sugee’s
foray into Thane is part of a strategic expansion into one of the region’s most
dynamic and fast-maturing markets, reinforcing its commitment to developing
future-ready business ecosystems beyond traditional city hubs.

Marking its commercial debut, Sugee Group will develop a marquee
project in Thane West, envisioned as a landmark business destination offering
premium workspaces and advancing Thane as New India’s City of Economic Growth — Thane is N.I.C.E.™

Positioned as a Grade A+ commercial offering, the project answers
rising demand for premium commercial space in an emerging business district – a
compelling value proposition for New India’s enterprises, delivering superior
workspaces with seamless connectivity to the city and its industrial belts. It
bridges a critical market gap for MSMEs, MNCs and growing enterprises that
aspire to scale within professional, well-planned infrastructure but are
constrained by the high entry barriers of Mumbai&#039;s commercial real estate. This
momentum is underwritten by Thane&#039;s transforming infrastructure: upcoming metro
lines including Maharashtra’s first ring metro, Thane-Borivali twin tunnels,
the Thane coastal road, planned waterways and ports the Mumbai–Ahmedabad
High-Speed Rail (Bullet Train) corridor and seamlessly access to the airport –
all fuelling demand from businesses and consumers alike.

Drawing inspiration from globally recognised business districts such
as Canary Wharf in London and Hudson Yards in New York, where integrated
planning, seamless connectivity and premium infrastructure combine to create
thriving ecosystems. Anchoring this vision is Siddheshwar Lake in Thane West,
the defining natural waterbody around which the expansive 50+ acres development
is planned, creating a distinctive waterfront destination that seamlessly
blends urban infrastructure with the surrounding landscape. The project&#039;s
architectural vision has been developed under the guidance of Padma Bhushan
recipient Ar. Hafeez Contractor, reinforcing Sugee&#039;s commitment to creating a landmark
commercial destination that combines design excellence with long-term urban
value.

Commenting on the development, Nishant Deshmukh, Founder and Managing
Partner Sugee Group said, “Thane has emerged as a strong
residential-led market, and its commercial ecosystem is now entering an
exciting new phase of growth. We saw a powerful opportunity to introduce a new
standard for commercial spaces that not only serve existing demand but also
catalyses the city’s next phase of growth through real estate. This is more
than a market entry for us; it is a long-term commitment to Thane&#039;s rise as New
India&#039;s City of Economic Growth – Thane is N.I.C.E.™, and we intend to deliver
it with the premium positioning, disciplined execution and timely delivery that
define everything we build.”

Commenting on the architectural vision, Ar. Hafeez Contractor said,
“Siddheshwar Lake gives this site a rare natural anchor, and our design allows
the waterfront to shape the identity and experience of the district rather than
simply remain at its edge. The vision is to create a commercial destination of
international quality that feels open, human and enduring, where connectivity,
landscape and built form come together seamlessly as one integrated
environment. More than a workplace, it is designed to make the everyday work
experience more engaging and more connected to nature. I believe there is no
commercial development of this kind in Thane, Mumbai or even in India today.
Thane deserves architecture that reflects its scale, ambition and future, and
we are designing for how the city will live, work and grow over the decades
ahead.”

With over 50 million square feet of completed and ongoing
developments, and a diversified portfolio spanning over 60 projects across
India and global markets, including the UAE and Portugal, Sugee Group is now
poised to tap into Thane’s rapidly evolving urban ecosystem, drawing on deep
expertise across the entire real estate lifecycle. Having received over 28
industry-recognised awards and supported by a workforce of more than 400
employees, Sugee Group has established a strong presence in the real estate
sector. The company has successfully delivered all its projects, on time
reflecting its consistent focus on time delivery and quality.

Sugee Group aims to leverage all the tailwinds to build a development
that meets today&#039;s commercial needs while meaningfully contributing to Thane&#039;s
long-term economic and urban growth. More than a commercial address, Sugee’s
maiden project in Thane is part of a larger vision to create an integrated,
globally benchmarked development designed to evolve into a dynamic mixed-use
ecosystem, and to help shape the next chapter of the city itself.

About Sugee Group:

Established in 1986, the journey of Sugee Group spans over four
decades, evolving into one of Mumbai&#039;s fastest-growing real estate groups. With
a presence in Mumbai, UAE, and Portugal&#039;s most sought-after locations, we
specialize in premium developments in high-impact locations. Guided by a
customer-first philosophy, Sugee Group is built on the pillars of perseverance,
integrity, and transparency — consistently delivering homes on time, every
time.

<title>Modern Farming Needs Modern Protection: A Farmer Speaks</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/modern-farming-needs-modern-protection-a-farmer-speaks</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/modern-farming-needs-modern-protection-a-farmer-speaks</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Arm Me for the Battle, Don&#039;t Tie My Hands

The pests grow fiercer with every changing season, labour
has vanished, and yet many still insist that the farmer&#039;s tools are the
problem. A farmer speaks about what he truly needs to protect his crop and his
future.

As told by a farmer of rural India

I am not a scholar, and I will not pretend to be one. I do
not attend seminars or understand complicated debates. I know only one thing—my
field. From before sunrise until sunset, my life depends on protecting it. So I
ask the country for one simple thing: help me fight the pests, weeds and
diseases that threaten my crop every season.

That battle is much harder today than it was in my father&#039;s
time. The weather has changed. Rains are uncertain, summers are harsher, and
every season seems to bring new insects and diseases. Whether it is pink worm
in cotton or new caterpillars in maize, the threats keep growing while I still
fight them with the same two hands.

So I say this plainly: arm me. A soldier guarding the border
is given the best weapons available. I too stand on a frontline that feeds this
nation. Give me modern crop-protection solutions, quality seeds and timely
access to them. Do not ask me to fight today&#039;s problems with yesterday&#039;s tools.

When a crop fails, I lose far more than a harvest. I lose
the loan I took, my family&#039;s security and sometimes even hope. We all know that
failed crops and debt have pushed too many farmers to take their own lives.
Protect my crop, and you protect my life.

Yet people who have never worked in a field often tell me
that my farming methods are wrong. They ask me to give up crop-protection
products and return to manual farming. Let me tell you what that means. It
means my wife and children spending days bent over in the heat pulling weeds by
hand. Labour has become scarce, wages keep rising, and hand weeding often costs
more than the crop itself. When young people see only hardship in farming, they
leave for the cities. Farming cannot survive on nostalgia alone.

I also want to acknowledge those who have stood beside
me—the crop protection industry. When new pests appeared, they developed
solutions and taught us how to use them safely, from the right dosage to
protective equipment. They are not perfect, and I expect fair prices and
quality, but at least they work with me in the field instead of judging me from
a distance.

I also believe that farmers benefit greatly when modern
agricultural research, scientific innovation and quality crop-protection
solutions reach the field quickly and are accompanied by proper guidance on
their safe and responsible use. Continued collaboration among farmers,
scientists, industry and policymakers can help Indian agriculture become more
resilient against evolving challenges.

I welcome the Government&#039;s efforts to modernise outdated
pesticide and seed laws. India needs science-based regulations that allow safe
and effective technologies to reach farmers while ensuring proper training and
responsible use. Equally important is maintaining high standards of product
quality and authenticity so that farmers can rely on the solutions they use to
protect their crops.

I have no quarrel with safety. I want my family to be safe
more than anyone else does. I simply ask for the best science, proper training,
protection from substandard products and laws that match today&#039;s realities.
Trust the farmer. Equip the farmer. Stand with the farmer. A farmer who is
empowered with knowledge and modern tools is not a threat to the nation—he is
its strongest protector.

<description><![CDATA[  

Partnerships
are playing an important role in accelerating sustainable commercial EV
adoption in India. DRIVN’s collaborations with vehicle manufacturers, mobility
operators, and energy solution providers bring together different capabilities
required to deploy electric trucks and buses at scale.

By
connecting vehicles, financing, charging support and fleet operations, these
partnerships help address key challenges and enable more efficient sustainable
EV solutions in India.

What
Roles Do Different Partners Play in Commercial EV Adoption?

A
successful commercial EV ecosystem depends on coordination between multiple
stakeholders. Each partner contributes towards making electric mobility more
practical and scalable.


 
  
  Partner
  
  
  Partnership Focus
  
  
  Deployment Details
  
  
  Role in Sustainable EV Adoption
  
 
 
  
  JBM Electric Vehicles
  
  
  Electric bus deployment
  
  
  MoU signed for the supply of 500 electric buses. The deployment is
  planned in phases over the next year, with the initial rollout focusing on
  luxury intercity electric coaches across India.
  
  
  Supports large-scale electric bus adoption by combining vehicle supply
  with financing, maintenance and charging support for fleet operators.
  
 
 
  
  Switch Mobility
  
  
  Electric commercial vehicle supply
  
  
  Partnership focuses on access to Switch Mobility’s electric
  commercial vehicle portfolio for fleet deployment.
  
  
  Helps expand access to electric buses and commercial vehicles
  designed for urban and employee mobility applications.
  
 
 
  
  Montra Electric
  
  
  Electric commercial vehicle deployment
  
  
  Partnership supports access to Montra Electric’s commercial EV
  portfolio.
  
  
  Strengthens DRIVN’s ability to offer electric commercial vehicles
  for different fleet requirements, including freight and logistics use cases.
  
 
 
  
  Energy in Motion (EIM)
  
  
  Electric truck ecosystem and battery solutions
  
  
  EIM focuses on battery-swapping and charging solutions for
  heavy-duty electric trucks. Its network plans include 22 swapping stations at
  major logistics hubs, with each station designed to service up to 100
  electric trucks per day.
  
  
  Supports heavy commercial EV adoption by addressing charging
  downtime and enabling efficient operations for high-utilisation fleets.
  
 
 
  
  BillionE Mobility
  
  
  Electric truck fleet deployment
  
  
  Partnership focuses on accelerating electric truck adoption through
  fleet deployment and mobility solutions.
  
  
  Supports the transition of logistics and freight operations towards
  electric mobility through ecosystem collaboration.
  
 


These EV partnerships in India
demonstrate why collaboration between vehicle manufacturers, mobility
operators, energy providers and fleet solution companies is becoming a key
requirement for commercial electrification.

How
DRIVN’s Partnerships Support Sustainable EV Adoption

DRIVN
is building a connected commercial EV ecosystem by bringing together vehicle
manufacturers, fleet operators, mobility companies and energy solution providers.
Instead of viewing EV adoption only as a vehicle purchase decision, DRIVN
focuses on creating integrated fleet solutions that address deployment,
operations and long-term usability.

Its
partnership with JBM Electric Vehicles supports electric bus deployment, while
collaborations with Switch Mobility and Montra Electric strengthen access to
commercial electric vehicles. DRIVN has also partnered with Energy in Motion
and BillionE Mobility to support electric truck adoption through fleet
deployment and energy solutions.

These
collaborations represent some of the key EV partnerships in India that are
helping address challenges around vehicle availability, charging
infrastructure, and fleet operations.

Key
Factors That Make Commercial EV Partnerships Successful

Strong
partnerships require more than agreements between companies. They need clear
responsibilities and long-term coordination across the ecosystem.

Important
factors include:

●     
Vehicle suitability:
Electric trucks and buses should match route requirements, payload needs, and
operating conditions. 

●     
Charging coordination:
Fleet deployment should align with available charging or battery-swapping
infrastructure. 

●     
Maintenance support:
Reliable service networks are important for reducing downtime and improving
vehicle availability. 

●     
Flexible financing models:
Leasing structures should support different fleet sizes and business
requirements. 

●     
Operational monitoring:
Tracking utilisation, energy consumption and vehicle performance helps improve
efficiency. 

●     
Lifecycle planning:
Battery management, vehicle redeployment and long-term asset use should be
considered from the beginning. 

These
factors help partnerships create practical commercial EV solutions in India
rather than simply increasing the number of electric vehicles on roads.

To
Conclude

Collaboration
across the commercial EV ecosystem is playing a key role in driving sustainable
commercial EV solutions in India. Partnerships between manufacturers, fleet
operators, energy providers and leasing companies help address challenges such
as high upfront costs, charging infrastructure and operational efficiency.

Through
its ecosystem-driven approach, DRIVN brings together key stakeholders to
support scalable and flexible electric fleet adoption. As demand for electric
trucks and buses grows, commercial EV partnerships in India will play an
important role in building reliable and scalable mobility solutions.

FAQs

1.
How does DRIVN support businesses in adopting commercial EVs?

DRIVN
supports businesses through leasing solutions and partnerships with EV
manufacturers, mobility operators and energy providers, enabling fleet adoption
without high upfront costs.

2.
Why are partnerships important for scaling commercial EV adoption in India?

Partnerships
bring together different capabilities required for EV adoption, including
vehicle supply, charging infrastructure, financing and fleet management. This
collaborative approach helps overcome operational challenges and makes electric
mobility more accessible for businesses.

3.
What makes DRIVN’s partnership-led model effective for sustainable EV
solutions?

DRIVN’s
model is effective because it integrates multiple ecosystem players into a
single solution. By working with manufacturers, energy companies, and fleet
operators, DRIVN ensures that businesses receive end-to-end support, improving

<title>&amp;apos;BEDA BRO&amp;apos; – LULU MALL BENGALURU JOINS HANDS WITH BENGALURU CITY POLICE FOR ANTI&#45;DRUG AWARENESS RALLY</title>

<description><![CDATA[ “Say No to Drugs” campaign
draws Bengaluru City Police officials, Lulu Group Karnataka staff and citizens together
for a rally at LuLu Mall, Rajajinagar.

Bengaluru, 25th July 2026: LuLu Mall, Rajajinagar, in association with
the Bengaluru City Police, today hosted “Beda Bro, Say No to Drugs”
a large-scale drug awareness campaign aimed at sensitising the city’s youth and
residents to the dangers of substance abuse. The event, which began at 10 a.m.,
brought together senior police officials, LuLu Group Karnataka leadership,
staff and members of the public in a collective call for a drug free community.

The campaign was graced by IPS Yathish N,
Deputy Commissioner of Police, West Division, Bengaluru City, as Chief Guest,
along with Bhoothe Gowda V.S, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Vijayanagar Sub-Division,
Bengaluru City and Shankaragowda Basanagowdar, Inspector, Magadi Road Police
Station, Bengaluru City. The dignitaries were felicitated by Mr. Noman Aziz
Khan, Director, LuLu Group Karnataka; Mr. Jamal K P, Regional Manager, LuLu
Group Karnataka. The event was also supported by the students from Government
Homoeopathic Medical College Hospital and Research Center.

Following addresses from the police
officials and LuLu leadership on the importance of steering young people away
from drugs, alcohol and substance abuse, the Chief Guests and LuLu dignitaries
flagged off the Drug Awareness Rally from LuLu Mall at 11 a.m. Participants,
wearing campaign T-shirts and carrying “Beda Bro” placards, walked through the
neighbourhood carrying the message “Your Future is in Your Hands”.

The highlight of the campaign was a 5-kilometre
awareness rally that wound through key stretches around Rajajinagar, with
participants holding placards and raising slogans against drug and substance
abuse. The rally aimed to take the anti-drug message beyond the mall premises
and directly into the neighbourhood, encouraging residents, shopkeepers and
passers-by to join the pledge for a drug-free Bengaluru. Volunteers distributed
awareness pamphlets along the route, reinforcing the campaign’s core themes of
staying strong, making smart choices and living healthy.

IPS Yathish N, Deputy Commissioner of Police, West
Division, Bengaluru City, added 

“The fight against drug abuse cannot be
won by the police alone; it needs the active participation of institutions like
LuLu Mall, families and citizens working together. Campaigns such as ‘Beda Bro’
help us reach young people directly with a message of hope and better choices.
Bengaluru City Police remains committed to working with community partners to
keep our neighbourhoods safe and our youth protected from the menace of drugs.”

 

The event repeatedly cautioned that the
drug trap often begins innocuously through peer pressure, curiosity or the
false promise of a quick escape from stress before spiralling into dependency
that is far harder to break. The campaign urged young people to recognise these
early warning signs, resist experimentation and lean on family, friends and
community support systems rather than substances, reiterating that the surest
way to stay safe is to never take the first step into the trap.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Noman Aziz
Khan, Director, LuLu Group Karnataka, said “At LuLu, we believe
our responsibility extends beyond retail to the well-being of the communities
we serve. Partnering with the Bengaluru City Police for the ‘Beda Bro’ campaign
reflects our commitment to standing with our youth at a critical time in their
lives. We hope this rally sends a clear message that a healthy, drug-free
future is a choice worth making, and that LuLu will continue to support such
initiatives that build a stronger, safer Bengaluru.”

<description><![CDATA[ Founded by entrepreneur A. Fahad Jahangir, BURN-OUT Fitness
Studio has expanded to 30+ franchise locations across India, combining a proven
operational model, premium fitness experience, and investor focused growth
strategy.

Chennai : As India&#039;s fitness and wellness
industry continues to evolve into one of the country&#039;s fastest growing consumer
sectors, BURN-OUT
Unisex Fitness Studio is emerging as a compelling
franchise opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to participate in this
expanding market. Founded in 2016 by entrepreneur A. Fahad Jahangir,
the company has built a rapidly growing network of 30+ franchise locations
across India, while establishing a strong presence in Chennai with more
than 15 operational branches within a relatively short period.

The company&#039;s growth reflects changing consumer preferences
towards preventive healthcare, structured fitness programmes, and
professionally managed wellness centres. At the same time, it demonstrates the
increasing demand for organised fitness brands that offer both a superior
member experience and a scalable business model for franchise partners.

Designed to cater to first time entrepreneurs as well as
experienced investors, BURN-OUT Unisex 
Fitness Studio offers franchise opportunities with investments starting

support, scalable business systems and attractive return potential, BURN-OUT
Unisex Fitness Studio is increasingly emerging as one of the preferred fitness
franchise choices among investors seeking opportunities in India&#039;s organised
wellness sector.

Unlike conventional gym businesses that primarily focus on
equipment and memberships, BURN-OUT has developed an integrated operating
system that combines professionally designed fitness programmes, certified
trainers, premium infrastructure, imported equipment, brand-building support,
marketing assistance and operational guidance. This structured ecosystem
enables franchise partners to focus on business growth while benefiting from
established processes and ongoing support.

more than a traditional gym experience. Its centres offer an extensive

operational excellence across multiple locations while maintaining service
quality and customer engagement. This growth has further strengthened investor
confidence in the company&#039;s franchise led expansion strategy.

Biriyani, and KAS Food Catering, expanding into hospitality and food

infrastructure, technology education and business consulting. As Managing
Partner of Tackle Futsal, he has contributed to the development of
premium multi sport arenas and coaching facilities that offer football, cricket
and recreational sports infrastructure. Through TechPanda, he supports
technology education by providing industry oriented training programmes, real
time project exposure and placement assistance for aspiring professionals in
fields such as DevOps, Full Stack Development, Python, Data Analytics and

planning, software development, startup support and end to end business
implementation. Collectively, these ventures span fitness, hospitality, sports
infrastructure, technology education and business solutions, reflecting a
diversified entrepreneurial ecosystem built around operational excellence, innovation
and long term value creation.

This cross sector experience has played an important role in
shaping BURN-OUT Unisex  Fitness Studio&#039;s
franchise philosophy. Rather than simply licensing a brand name, the company
seeks to provide franchise partners with structured business systems, marketing
expertise, operational processes and continuous support designed to improve
execution and scalability.

Commenting on the company&#039;s journey, A. Fahad Jahangir,
Founder of BURN-OUT Unisex Fitness Studio, said:

network, entering new markets and building long term partnerships with investors

Milano Gelato Truck is quickly becoming a popular stop across Bengaluru. With
its eye-catching design, gelato-inspired watches and exclusive flavours, the
truck is drawing crowds across locations including Indiranagar and Lulu Mall.
Each stop is seeing 500–600 visitors, with limited-edition gelato flavours
selling out, consumers engaging with games and challenges, and the truck
gaining traction through reels and shares on Instagram. As it continues its
journey across Fastrack stores, colleges, malls and IT parks, the truck is
giving more consumers across Bengaluru a chance to experience the Gelato
Maxxing Collection.

Talking about the gelato truck, The Milano team said, &quot;Fastrack
has long been a brand that understands and shapes youth culture, making this
collaboration a natural fit. By combining exclusive flavours with an on-ground
experience, we wanted to create a fun and innovative way for consumers to
experience, share and celebrate both brands.”

Staying true to its &quot;Never Same, Never Sane&quot;
philosophy, Fastrack turns hyperfixations into unexpected experiences.
Featuring brand ambassador Siddhant Chaturvedi, the Gelato Maxxing campaign
transforms the obsession for gelato into a cultural moment that extends beyond
the watch through fashion, flavour and immersive experiences.

&quot;Never Same, Never Sane has always been about
celebrating individuality and encouraging young people to express themselves
without holding back. Young consumers today don&#039;t separate what they wear from
what they eat, where they hang out or what they post, it&#039;s all part of one
continuous identity. Gelato Maxxing is our interpretation of that cultural
shift, turning a familiar obsession into a campaign and collection that feels
playful, expressive and unmistakably Fastrack. A watch launch that ends at the
watch is a missed opportunity,&quot; said Danny
Jacob, Head of Marketing, Fastrack Watches.

Watches Never Looked This Delicious
Inspired by the colours, textures
and playful details of gelato, the collection brings the indulgence of gelato
to the wrist. Featuring 20 SKUs across five styles for men and women, the
collection combines pastel hues, glossy finishes, gelato-inspired dials and
playful details for a fresh, expressive take on everyday style.

The Gelato Collection is available across Fastrack
stores and online at fastrack.in, with prices starting at ₹2,695
and going up to ₹6,695.

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>India&amp;apos;s Most Gifted: FNP&amp;apos;s Rakhi Gifting Report from 2025</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-most-gifted-fnps-rakhi-gifting-report-from-2025</link>

<description><![CDATA[ “Bangalore
Led Rakhi Gifting, Sisters Splurged on Their Brothers and the Longest Delivery
Travelled 13,000 km”   

New
Delhi, July 2026 :  What does India&#039;s
Rakhi gifting habit actually look like? FNP (Ferns N Petals), the country&#039;s
leading gifting brand, has crunched the data from last year&#039;s Rakhi season to
find out. And the answers are as quirky as they are telling. From the city that
ordered the most rakhis to the one rakhi-and-chocolate combo every sibling
apparently couldn&#039;t resist, India&#039;s Most Gifted is FNP&#039;s first data-led look
back at Rakhi 2025; a season that saw thousands of people celebrate Rakhi with
FNP, many of them coming back for the third year running.

So
who actually wins at Rakhi? Going purely by order volume, Bangalore took the
trophy for India&#039;s most enthusiastic Rakhi-gifting city last year, ordering 7%
more rakhis than Delhi, which came in a close second, with Mumbai trailing
close behind.  

If
there was one trend that stood out this Raksha Bandhan, it was India&#039;s love for
the last-minute save. While the earliest Rakhi order arrived nearly two months
before the festival, August 8, just one day before Raksha Bandhan, saw the
highest number of orders placed in a single day. The busiest hour was 8 PM,
when customers across the country turned to FNP for those final festive
surprises. It paints a familiar picture of Indian celebrations where intentions
are heartfelt, even if the planning comes at the last minute.  

When
it came to gifting, Indians stayed loyal to an all-time favourite.  Rakhi with chocolates  remained the top choice, not just in 2025 but
across every Rakhi season FNP has tracked. The Meenakari Marvel Rakhi with
Chocolate Joy  was the most ordered product of the year,
showing that this classic combination continues to win hearts. At the premium
end,  more than 24 sisters spent over
₹12,000 each on Rakhi gifts for their brothers , reflecting how many chose to
celebrate the occasion in a big way. 

For
siblings separated by continents, FNP continued to bridge the distance. The
longest Rakhi delivery of the season travelled nearly  13,000 km to the United States , while the US
and Canada emerged as the top international destinations. The trend highlights
the growing trust customers place in FNP&#039;s international delivery network to
ensure their Rakhi reaches loved ones, regardless of geography. That confidence
was reflected in the number of customers who placed multiple orders across
destinations, from Melbourne to Bangalore and Delhi NCR, making sure no sibling
or loved one was left out of the celebration. 

Avi
Kumar, CMO at FNP, summed it up best: &quot;Rakhi 2025 was an absolute
whirlwind for us; the volumes, the last-minute orders, rakhis flying out to the
US and Canada right up to the last minute. Going through the data afterward was
honestly so much fun, it really captured how Indian siblings show up for each
other, planners and last-minute heroes alike. That&#039;s exactly why we built
India&#039;s Most Gifted. And we can&#039;t wait for Rakhi 2026 because if last year is
anything to go by, this one&#039;s going to be even bigger.&quot; 

FNP&#039;s
Rakhi 2026 collection,
including same-day and midnight delivery across India and key international
cities, is now live; just in time for anyone planning ahead, and anyone
planning to plan ahead later.

About FNP

N Petals (FNP) is India&#039;s leading gifting brand, offering a thoughtfully
curated range of flowers, cakes, plants, personalised gifts, festive hampers,
and celebration essentials for every occasion. With over three decades of

through its extensive same-day, midnight, and international delivery network. ]]></description>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/iiris-consulting-acquires-publicly-listed-fintech-company-dion-global-solutions</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Acquisition
combines IIRIS&#039;s technology-led risk management capabilities with Dion&#039;s
fintech platform serving over 250 banks, brokers and wealth managers.

New Delhi, 24 July
2026 : IIRIS
Consulting (Indus IntelliRisk and IntelliSense Services Private Limited), a
technology-driven firm specialising in digitisation, tech-enabled risk
management solutions and knowledge process outsourcing, has acquired Dion Global
Solutions Limited, a publicly listed fintech company that has served banks,
stockbrokers and wealth managers in India and international markets for over
three decades. The acquisition follows the approval of IIRIS&#039;s resolution plan
by the National Company Law Tribunal on 21 July 2026, and implementation is now
underway.

The
acquisition marks IIRIS&#039;s entry into the listed company space and gives its
IntelliFuture suite of AI-enabled products an immediate route to market. Dion&#039;s
customer base of over 250 institutions includes HDFC Bank, Canara Bank,
Sharekhan, JM Financial, Indiabulls Ventures, IIFL, Jhaveri Securities, Equitas
Small Finance Bank and BgSE Financials Limited, precisely the market these
products are built to serve.

Mr Garry Singh,
President, IIRIS Consulting, said, “Every
conversation we have with a bank, a broker or a wealth manager today is about
digitisation. Institutions want automation for transactions, risk and
compliance with clear auditable trail and accountability. IIRIS is committed to
not only take Dion to the international geographies where IIRIS is operating
but also create new products under Dion umbrella.”

At
the centre of the combined offering is the IntelliFuture suite, a family of
seven AI-enabled products built from IIRIS’s investigation and risk experience.


 IntelliTracker digitises fraud complaint and
     criminal case monitoring in line with RBI reporting requirements.



 AI Fraud Classification
     Assistant classifies
     fraud cases using each bank’s own procedures and frameworks.



 Asset Tracing Automation converts land and property
     records into actionable recovery intelligence.



 Risk Dashboard gives institutions
     multi-tenant, location-wise visibility of risk across their entire
     network.



 DPDP Consent Management
     Platform manages
     data protection consent and compliance obligations end to end.



 IIRIS Audit digitises audit operations from
     planning through to reporting.



 DigiMemoir is a digital visitor book that
     preserves the messages of dignitaries as institutional memory.


Ms Sagarika
Chakraborty, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, IIRIS Consulting, said, “IIRIS built its name on
investigations, forensic intelligence and risk advisory delivered as a service,
and we converted that experience into the IntelliFuture suite of AI-enabled
products covering fraud classification, case tracking, asset tracing and risk
visibility. Dion completes the picture. Its platforms already sit inside more
than 250 banks, brokers and wealth managers, which means the intelligence we
once delivered as reports can now live as a capability inside our clients&#039; own
systems. Our immediate focus is a seamless transition for Dion&#039;s clients and
employees.”

IIRIS
also brings an international footprint, with offices and products deployed
across India, the Middle East, Europe and Asia. This opens markets that Dion’s
platforms have not yet reached, and IIRIS is committed to taking Dion into
these new geographies while investing in the next generation of products for
the combined client base. ]]></description>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/abhay-bhutada-foundation-awards-rs-21-lakh-in-scholarships-to-300-students</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Pune, July 24, 2026 : The Abhay
Bhutada Foundation has contributed Rs 21 lakh towards the ‘Deva Bhau School
Scholarship’ programme. Under it, 300 school students from financially weaker
households in Pune received scholarship assistance. The scholarships were
handed over at a ceremony on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, organised jointly with
Hindu Garjana Pratishthan.

The
programme identified deserving students through Hindu Garjana Pratishthan’s
network of schools and community workers, who had seen these children excel
academically while their families struggled to keep them in school.

Maharashtra’s
Higher and Technical Education Minister, Shri Chandrakant Patil, personally
handed over the scholarships to the students. The ceremony was graced by Shri
Dheeraj Ghate, President of Hindu Garjana Pratishthan, BJP Pune City President
and Corporator, and Shri Umesh Shelke, President of the Labour Union, along
with Smt. Smita Vaste, Shri Amar Aawale, Smt. Manisha Ghate, Smt. Priyanka
Shendge, and office bearers and volunteers of Hindu Garjana Pratishthan.

Speaking on
the initiative, CA Abhay Bhutada, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, and Chairman of
Abhay Bhutada Foundation and TAB Global Ventures, said,

“Behind
every child’s education is a family striving to keep their dreams alive. This
scholarship of Rs 21 lakh for 300 students is our small token of support to
ease that journey and to show that society stands with them. Education is every
child&#039;s equal right and should never be a privilege reserved for a few.
Supporting these students is a collective responsibility, and we are glad to be
part of an initiative that does exactly that.”

The Abhay
Bhutada Foundation works across education, healthcare, sports, cultural
preservation and relief efforts. In education, it has supported hands-on STEM
learning kits in rural and under-resourced schools along with scholarships for
students in higher education. Beyond the classroom, it has backed sports
tournaments that bring more players into the game and initiatives such as
Shivsrushti in Pune that make cultural and historical learning accessible to
more families. During floods in the state, the Foundation contributed ₹5 crore
to the Maharashtra Chief Minister’s Relief Fund to support families in need.

About
Abhay Bhutada Foundation

Founded in
2023, the Abhay Bhutada Foundation is dedicated to the upliftment, education,
and growth of underprivileged sections of society. With a focus on long-term
impact rather than short-term aid, the Foundation ensures that every project is
designed for sustainability and measurable results. Fully funded by CA Abhay
Bhutada without external fundraising, the Foundation supports initiatives in
education, sports, and cultural preservation. Over a short span, its efforts
have impacted lakhs of lives across Maharashtra, creating meaningful and
lasting change.

<title>Craquelure Inspired Surfaces &amp;amp; New Campaign Launch Dominate Aludecor’s 24th Foundation Day</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/craquelure-inspired-surfaces-new-campaign-launch-dominate-aludecors-24th-foundation-day</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/craquelure-inspired-surfaces-new-campaign-launch-dominate-aludecors-24th-foundation-day</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

24 July, Kolkata : Aludecor, a leading façade product manufacturer which is known for
trendsetting innovations in the industry, utilized its 24th
foundation day to launch a new series and the second phase of its
industry-first Test Nahi Toh Trust Nahi TVC campaign.

True to its wont, the company introduced
another “never-seen-before” reengineered aluminium composite panel surface that
interprets one of nature’s wonders. This time it was the craquelures of stones
formed by geological aging. Christened Stonic, this series is positioned by the
company through its catalogue as revealing “the poetry of ageing through
delicate craquelure and layered depth.” The series is said to draw inspiration
from the stone heritage of Harappan and Mohejo-daro, transforming an ancient
legacy into a contemporary surface.

Available in seven shades, the series has been
developed using what the company describes as its proprietary Spray Fusion
technology. Stonic is expected to find applications across commercial,
residential, hospitality and mixed-use spaces, including facades, feature
walls, entranceways, soffits, balcony fascia and ceilings. 

Having created a flutter by being the first in
the ACP industry to launch a TVC campaign – Test Nahi Toh Trust Nahi -
in the beginning of the year, Aludecor used the foundation day occasion to
launch an extension of the campaign. Called The Fikar-Free ACP, the
campaign is informed by the most practical pain points of contractors and
architects, hammering home that by imbibing the culture of using tested ACP sheets one can be free of stress or fikar. The campaign is anchored
by a surreal Fikar-Meter, the readings of which are influenced by
real-world stress scenarios in fabrication. A series of quirky videos and
on-ground activations have been rolled out.

Ashok Kumar Bhaiya, the Founder and CMD of
Aludecor said, “The Fikar-Free campaign is yet another expression of our
unrelenting effort to sensitize the industry to the long-term benefits of using
tested ACPs. Through humour we try to highlight the very legitimate problems
the fabricator and the designer communities face like fading, delamination and
fire, and how tested ACPs can be the answer to all those problems.” 

On how the industry is expected to respond to
the campaign, Saurav Kabra, Director, Aludecor said: “Our Test Nahi Toh
Trust Nahi is already a major success and now with Fikar-Free we are
going to further strengthen our position as the thought leader. The fact is
that we have long grown out of claiming to be better – we believe in proving.
We are arguably the most tested brand in the world, conducting an unmatched
number of 205 in-house tests in our fully equipped R&amp;D centre which houses
the only NABL reaction-to-fire lab in the country.”

The Stonic Series according to Saurav Kabra is
going to catch on too. “Our innovations are backed by industry inputs, and
Stonic is no exception. The industry will certainly accept the series as much
awaited.”

The day was capped by felicitation of faces of
Aludecor across different departments whose long-term stint according to the
company played a major part in upholding the company’s ethos of quality and
innovation. ]]></description>

<title>Appraisal Season: Half of India&amp;apos;s Professionals Are Already Job&#45;Hunting, foundit Appraisal Survey Finds</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/appraisal-season-half-of-indias-professionals-are-already-job-hunting-foundit-appraisal-survey-finds</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/appraisal-season-half-of-indias-professionals-are-already-job-hunting-foundit-appraisal-survey-finds</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ More than 1 in 4 surveyed professionals
hadn&#039;t been appraised as of June 2026. Among respondents who had an appraisal,
most increments came in under 10%. Just 4% of surveyed respondents planned to
stay put in their current organisation.

Bengaluru, 24th July 2026 :  Appraisal
season is the fixed point in India&#039;s professional calendar. This year,
appraisals are running late, and more than half of the professionals surveyed
are already job-hunting.

foundit&#039;s
Appraisal Survey 2026 drew on responses from professionals across industries,
tenures and work locations in India, with fieldwork closing in June 2026. More
than one in four respondents ( 28% )
had still not been appraised at that point. Among those who had, more than half
received an increment below  10%
.

June
sits past the point at which most Indian organisations have closed their annual
cycle. 
As the survey indicates, among respondents, the waiting has a cost.  96% 
of professionals surveyed are open to switching jobs.  52% 
respondents reported that they are actively looking right now.
Just  4%  plan to stay put.

&quot;The market prices talent every day. When
appraisals run late, the gap between what someone earns and what they could
earn has more time to widen, and people notice. Closing an appraisal on schedule
is a far smaller undertaking than replacing the people who leave because of a
delayed salary hike.

The second finding
that struck me was how many said their manager did little for them through the
appraisal process. The number at the end of an appraisal matters. So does
knowing someone made a case for you. That part, the speaking up, costs an
organisation nothing,&quot;
said Tarun Sinha, CEO, foundit.

Appraisal outcomes as
of June 2026 


 No appraisal yet  – 27.9% (largest group, over a quarter
     of respondents)
 Appraisal, no increment  – 7.7%
 1–5% increment  – 14.5%
 6–10% increment  – 19.3%
 11–15% increment  – 11.6%
 16–20% increment  – 7.4% (smallest group)
 More than 20% increment  – 11.5%


The mood in the appraisal
cycle is one of indifference

When
asked how they felt about their appraisals,  56%  of surveyed
professionals landed in the middle of the satisfaction scale — &#039;neutral&#039;,
&#039;somewhat satisfied&#039; or &#039;somewhat dissatisfied&#039;.

&#039;Neutral&#039;
was the single largest response, logged by  35%  of respondents.

A
sizeable share did feel strongly, and they leaned toward the positive:  29% 
logged &#039;very satisfied&#039; against  15%  &#039;very dissatisfied&#039; —
close to two to one.

As
the survey indicates, this was an appraisal cycle that satisfied a minority,
disappointed a smaller group, and left everyone else unmoved.

Appraising the
appraisers

The
survey asked professionals how well their manager had represented them during
the appraisal — whether the person who set their goals also made their case
when the ratings were decided.

Roughly
half ( 49% ) said their manager
represented them well — either advocating for them actively or being involved
without pushing. But one in three ( 32%
) said their manager did little or nothing, ranging from limited involvement to
no involvement at all. Another  20%  couldn&#039;t say either way.

Among
those who felt well represented,  37%  survey respondents said their manager
actively advocated for them, against just  11%  who described a manager
was involved but not proactive.
Among those who didn&#039;t feel well represented,  22%  survey respondents said
their manager did nothing at all, against  10%  who said their manager
did little.

What employees are
expecting from the job market

Survey
respondents were also asked how large an increment they would expect from a new
employer. Those expectations sit well above what this cycle delivered for the
group surveyed.
70% 
expect a hike of 21% or more to change jobs. The most common expectation
is 21–30% ( 27% ), with 31–40% and
11–20% close behind at  23%  each. More than one in five ( 20% ) expects a salary bump upwards of
40%.

At
the other end, just  7%  would move jobs for less than 10% — the band
into which most of this year&#039;s reported increments actually fell.

The
gap between appraisals received and salary hikes respondents expect on
switching jobs is roughly threefold. The most common salary increment in this
appraisal cycle was 6–10%. However, most survey respondents expect a 21-30%
hike on switching jobs. 
One in five  candidates say
they are holding out for a  salary
hike of 40% and above  while switching jobs. 

Why are employees
looking to switch?

Asked
what would pull them out of their current role, survey respondents gave mixed
answers — no single reason commands a majority.

Grouped
together, compensation-driven reasons — better pay available elsewhere ( 23% ) and an increment lower than
expected ( 17% ) — account for
nearly  40% .

Growth-and-learning
reasons — no promotion or visible growth path ( 20% ) and not enough to learn or grow ( 16% ) — account for nearly  37% .

Between
them, they cover roughly three-quarters of all survey respondents.

Work
culture or management issues account for a smaller share, at  14% .

Main reason to switch


 Better pay available elsewhere  – 22.8% (top reason cited)
 No promotion or visible growth
     path  – 20.4%
 Increment lower than expected  – 16.9%
 Not enough to learn or grow  – 15.9%
 Work culture or management
     issues  – 13.5%
 Other  – 10.5% (smallest group)

<title>SOBHA Inizio: Bringing a New Standard of Luxury Living to South&#45;Central Mumbai</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/sobha-inizio-bringing-a-new-standard-of-luxury-living-to-south-central-mumbai</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sobha-inizio-bringing-a-new-standard-of-luxury-living-to-south-central-mumbai</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai&#039;s luxury housing market is evolving. While location
remains a key consideration, today&#039;s homebuyers seek more than premium
amenities, they value superior craftsmanship, thoughtful design, uncompromising
quality and, above all, the credibility of the developer behind the project.

Located along the Eastern Waterfront at the cusp of the
Atal Setu, SOBHA Inizio is strategically positioned in one of South-Central
Mumbai&#039;s fastest-transforming neighbourhoods. The project enjoys seamless
connectivity to Lower Parel, Worli, BKC, Nariman Point and Navi Mumbai, while
the recently inaugurated Navi Mumbai International Airport is just a short
drive away. Upcoming infrastructure, including the Sewri-Worli Connector, Metro
Lines 3 and 11, the Orange Gate Tunnel and the Eastern Waterfront Development,
is set to further enhance accessibility, livability and long-term appreciation.
Combined with leading educational institutions, healthcare facilities and
lifestyle destinations, the location presents a compelling proposition for both
homebuyers and investors.

Designed around SOBHA&#039;s philosophy of quality and
precision, SOBHA Inizio reflects meticulous planning, elegant design and
exceptional craftsmanship. Spacious sea-facing residences, expansive private
decks, premium finishes and thoughtfully curated lifestyle amenities come
together to create homes that seamlessly balance sophistication, comfort and
functionality. Landscaped open spaces and wellness-focused recreational
facilities further enhance the living experience, offering residents an
exclusive urban retreat.

A defining strength behind every SOBHA development is its
pioneering backward integration model, which enables complete control over
quality, precision and execution by managing key aspects of construction and
manufacturing in-house. This globally recognised approach earned international
acclaim through a Harvard University case study, making SOBHA the first and
only Indian real estate developer to receive this distinction. For homebuyers,
it provides the assurance of consistent quality, timely delivery and lasting
value.

Today&#039;s buyers are increasingly interested in
understanding how their homes are built and the values of the developer they
choose. Recognising this shift, SOBHA has introduced a first-of-its-kind Sales
Gallery and Mumbai&#039;s first developer museum, transforming the homebuying
journey into an immersive experience.

While the Sales Gallery showcases the project&#039;s design and
lifestyle proposition, the SOBHA Museum offers a behind-the-scenes look at the
company&#039;s legacy, engineering expertise, craftsmanship, design philosophy and
rigorous quality processes. It enables buyers to appreciate not only the
finished home but also the meticulous journey behind its creation.

Luxury today is defined not only by design and amenities
but also by transparency, trust and long-term value. Buyers increasingly seek
developers who openly demonstrate their expertise, construction standards and
commitment to quality, empowering them to make informed investment decisions with
confidence.

SOBHA Inizio brings together a landmark waterfront
location, transformative infrastructure, world-class craftsmanship and an
unmatched commitment to quality. Complemented by its innovative Sales Gallery
and Mumbai&#039;s first developer museum, it offers a homebuying experience that
extends beyond choosing a residence - it allows buyers to experience the
legacy, precision and values behind every SOBHA home. For those seeking an
address that combines luxury living with long-term investment potential, SOBHA
Inizio represents a compelling choice in the next chapter of Mumbai&#039;s growth.

<description><![CDATA[  

Industry experts deliberate on
AI-ready infrastructure, sustainability and investment at the AI-Powered Data
Centre Conference 2026 in Mumbai.

Mumbai, 23 July 2026:
As artificial intelligence reshapes global digital infrastructure, industry
leaders gathered in Mumbai today at the AI-Powered Data Centre Conference
2026 to discuss how India can build the capacity, technology and ecosystem
required to emerge as a global AI infrastructure hub. Organised by ASAPP Info
Global Group and conceptualised by FIRST Construction Council, the conference
revolved around the theme, “From Capacity Gap to AI Superpower: Building
India&#039;s Digital Backbone for the Intelligence Economy.” 

Bringing together developers, technology providers,
enterprise users, consultants and policymakers, the conference explored the
opportunities and challenges shaping India&#039;s next generation of AI-ready data
centres. Discussions ranged from investment trends and capacity creation to
power infrastructure, advanced cooling technologies, sustainability and
enterprise expectations, reflecting the industry&#039;s growing focus on building
resilient digital infrastructure. 

Welcoming delegates, Pratap Padode, Founder &amp; MD,
ASAPP Info Global Group, said: “India’s own data centre capacity has grown
from about 375 MW in 2020 to around 1.8 GW currently. The
Ministry of Power has estimated that electricity demand from data centres in
India could reach 13.56 GW by 2031–32. AI is no longer just a software
story—it is a compute story, a power story, a cooling story, a water story and
a data-governance story. India’s opportunity lies not only in building more
data centres, but in building them responsibly. As we compete for investment,
we must create green lanes for responsible investors while setting clear red
lines that protect our infrastructure, our environment and our citizens.”

A common thread across the sessions was that India’s AI data
centre opportunity extends far beyond building server capacity. Shrinivas R.
Deshingkar, Founder and Chairman, Shree Tech Data, said such forums are
essential for bringing the ecosystem together to identify practical challenges
and develop collaborative solutions. While describing the sector as a
tremendous opportunity for manufacturers, SMEs and the wider supply chain, he
cautioned that power availability and skilled manpower remain pressing
concerns. He urged the industry to invest in workforce development and
indigenous manufacturing so that India is prepared for the next wave of
AI-driven data centre growth.

Discussions on India’s expanding AI infrastructure market
highlighted the urgency of accelerating project execution. Jay Bhurse, Chief
Vision Officer, Prasa, observed that demand for AI infrastructure is
significantly outstripping supply, creating immense opportunities for companies
capable of delivering solutions faster. However, he noted that the same
opportunity also presents the industry&#039;s biggest challenge, with shortages of
transformers, generators, construction materials and critical commodities
threatening project timelines unless addressed through coordinated planning
across the value chain.

Echoing the conference’s technical focus, Amit Agrawal,
President, Techno Digital, said the gathering brought together every key
stakeholder in the AI infrastructure ecosystem, enabling meaningful discussions
around the practical challenges involved in building AI factories and
next-generation data centres. He noted that India is poised for exponential
growth in installed capacity and stressed that the country has an opportunity
to learn from international markets and proactively address issues before they
become barriers to long-term growth.

Sustainability remained central to the day’s discussions. Tanveer
Ahmed, Business Head – Wet &amp; Dry Cooling Solutions, Cooling Business,
Thermax, said sustainability is fundamental to the long-term viability of
AI infrastructure. He highlighted efficient cooling technologies, knowledge
sharing and innovation as critical enablers for the industry while calling for
stronger policy support, improved grid infrastructure and greater use of
recycled water to ensure environmentally responsible expansion of India’s data
centre capacity.

MK Uang, General Manager, APAC Business Group, Graid
Technology, said AI data centres worldwide are
increasingly constrained by power availability and thermal management rather
than computing capability alone. He explained that improving data I/O
efficiency can significantly enhance GPU utilisation, enabling operators to
achieve higher AI performance while reducing energy consumption and easing
power and cooling limitations.

Looking ahead, industry leaders remained optimistic about
India’s global competitiveness. Rahul Sharma, Data Centre Expert,
described the coming decade as India’s decade for data centres, while
emphasising that execution excellence and delivery credibility will determine
long-term success. Jagat Ram, Head – Data Centre Operation and Delivery,
L&amp;T, echoed this sentiment, calling for deeper collaboration across the
ecosystem and greater investments in captive power, battery energy storage
systems and advanced cooling infrastructure to deliver world-class AI-ready
facilities.

The conference concluded with a forward-looking discussion
on India’s AI infrastructure ambitions through 2030, examining future
investment requirements, ownership models, enterprise demand and the country’s
potential to become a global destination for AI infrastructure.

The conference was supported by Shree Tech as Gold
&amp; Delegate Bag Partner, Graid Technology Inc. and Suroj as
Silver Partners, Prasa as Associate Partner, and IMPACCT as
Business Intelligence Partner. Construction World and Infrastructure Today
served as the official media partners. ]]></description>

<title>What Began as a Two&#45;Man Mission in Surat Is Now One of India’s Biggest Financial Distribution Platforms</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/what-began-as-a-two-man-mission-in-surat-is-now-one-of-indias-biggest-financial-distribution-platforms</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/what-began-as-a-two-man-mission-in-surat-is-now-one-of-indias-biggest-financial-distribution-platforms</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  In 1994, inside a modest home office in Surat, Gujarat, two fresh
university graduates sat down with a vision that most people at the time found
borderline absurd. The mutual fund industry in India was in its absolute
infancy, and the general public viewed capital market investments with heavy
skepticism. Yet, Mr. Neeraj Choksi and Mr. Jignesh Desai shared an unshakeable
faith in a simple concept: the transformational power of disciplined, long-term
investing. They didn&#039;t start by selling products; they started by teaching.
Battling low awareness and immense initial hurdles, the duo traveled from
neighborhood to neighborhood, focusing entirely on financial literacy and
investor empowerment. By building a foundation rooted strictly in transparency
and trust, they quietly laid the groundwork for what would become an empire.

As India&#039;s economy liberalised and equity markets matured, the
grassroots network built by the two founders gathered momentum. What began as a
local investor education initiative steadily evolved into NJ Group, today one
of India&#039;s leading financial services groups. Over the past three decades, the
organisation has diversified into asset management, insurance broking, NBFC,
technology, FMCG, and other businesses. Its flagship financial distribution
platform, NJ Wealth, today facilitates over ₹2,94,487 crore in assets
mobilised across various asset management companies (Data as of 31 May 2026;
Assets managed by various AMCs, mobilised by NJ). Supported by a workforce
of more than 2,640 employees, the Group has established a presence
across 236+ locations in 23 states while empowering a nationwide network
of over 54,381 active independent financial distributors. Together, they
serve more than 45.72 lakh investors, helping expand access to financial
products and long-term wealth accumulation across India. 

Despite managing a staggering multi-crore empire, Neeraj and Jignesh
remain grounded in the reality of the Indian market. Even today, a remarkably
small percentage of India’s population actively invests in mutual funds
compared to Western economies. Rather than viewing this as a limitation, the
founders see it as an extraordinary frontier. They are passionately committed
to empowering a new generation of young entrepreneurs and independent professionals
to build their own distribution practices.

&quot;Building wealth, transforming lives&quot; isn&#039;t just a marketing
slogan for the company; it is the literal operating philosophy that drives
their mission to take wealth building to the deepest corners of the country. By
providing independent distributors with institutional-grade technology, robust
training, and a trusted brand backbone, NJ Wealth continues to lead India&#039;s
financial revolution, turning a two-man dream into a nation-wide legacy of
prosperity.

Approval marks a significant milestone
in the Company&#039;s journey towards its proposed public issue, supporting its next

23rd, 2026: Shree TNB Polymers Limited, a
manufacturer of polymer-based piping systems and industrial plastic products,
has secured the in-principle approval from BSE Limited for its proposed Initial

proposed public issue. The proposed IPO comprises a fresh issue of up to
60,00,000 equity shares of face value ₹10 each through the book-building
process.

As disclosed in the DRHP, the net proceeds
from the proposed issue are proposed to be utilized towards the purchase of
plant and machinery, installation of a solar rooftop power generation system,
construction of a pre-engineered building for manufacturing operations,
repayment or prepayment of certain borrowings.

itself as a trusted manufacturer of polymer-based piping systems and industrial
plastic products catering to a diverse range of industries. Its product
portfolio includes HDPE and PP pipes, PPH pipes and fittings, DWC pipes and

registered Noble brand. The Company also manufactures solid polymer sheets
under the registered Tirupati brand and corrugated flute boards under the
registered Wellpack brand. Its products serve customers across water
infrastructure, irrigation, agriculture, industrial, chemical,
telecommunication and construction sectors.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Vijay
Thosani, Chairman of Shree TNB Polymers Limited, said, &quot;Securing the BSE
SME in-principle approval is a significant milestone in the evolution of Shree
TNB Polymers Limited. It reflects the strength of our business model, our
commitment to manufacturing excellence and the confidence we have built with
our customers over the years. The proposed IPO will support our vision of
expanding our manufacturing capabilities, investing in modern infrastructure
and strengthening our market presence while maintaining our focus on quality,
innovation and sustainability. We believe this will further enhance our ability
to create long-term value for our customers, employees, business partners and
future shareholders.&quot;

infrastructure, irrigation, urban development and industrial projects across
India, the demand for high-quality polymer-based piping solutions continues to
grow. Shree TNB Polymers Limited is well positioned to capitalize on these
opportunities through its diversified product portfolio, manufacturing
expertise and customer-centric approach.

The proposed IPO remains subject to the

regulatory approvals and prevailing market conditions. The issue opening and
closing dates, price band and other details of the proposed public issue will
be announced in due course in accordance with applicable laws.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai 23rd June 2026:
Gandhar Oil reported its highest-ever quarterly net profit, crossing Rs
200 crs. This record performance was driven by healthy revenue growth and
robust gross margin spreads despite operating in a dynamic and challenging
external environment.

2026-27, up 92% YoY.

A blockbuster quarter with exceptional growth across all key
financial metrics. The company delivered a remarkable jump in revenue, margins,
and profitability, indicating a significant improvement in business performance
during the quarter.

The operating environment during the quarter remained
dynamic, shaped by geopolitical developments in West Asia, crude oil price
volatility, and periodic supply chain disruptions. Company’s ability to respond
swiftly through agile sourcing, prudent inventory management, and a favourable
product mix translated into strong financial performance.

Strong performance was supported by healthy demand across
key end-user industries and sustained momentum across product categories.
Continued focus on value-added offerings, efficient procurement practices, and
cost optimisation initiatives enabled us to achieve superior margins while also
supporting volume growth.

The PHPO segment continued to anchor company’s growth,

pharmaceutical sectors. The quarter also witnessed encouraging traction in the
PIO business, reflecting healthy demand across transformer, power &amp; rubber
manufacturers.

While Gandhar Oil remains watchful of global macroeconomic
developments and geopolitical uncertainties, the underlying demand environment
continues to remain encouraging. With a strong business foundation, a

<title>ISTITUTO MARANGONI MUMBAI PRESENTS ITS 2026 STUDENT SHOWCASE — ‘ASTITVA’</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/istituto-marangoni-mumbai-presents-its-2026-student-showcase-astitva</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/istituto-marangoni-mumbai-presents-its-2026-student-showcase-astitva</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, July, 2026 : On
Saturday evening, 18th July 2026, Istituto Marangoni Mumbai, the renowned
Italian fashion and design school, unveiled &#039;Astitva’, its annual student
showcase featuring the work of its second-year Fashion Design students. More
than a fashion presentation, the showcase brought together deeply personal
narratives expressed through contemporary fashion, celebrating the journeys,
experiences and perspectives that shape each designer&#039;s creative voice.

Derived from the
Sanskrit word meaning identity or existence, ‘Astitva’ invited
audiences to reflect on the many influences that define who we are. Through
nine distinctive collections, students explored themes ranging from memory and
family to resilience, grief, heritage and transformation, demonstrating how
fashion can become a powerful medium for personal storytelling.

Inspired by Mumbai — a
city where cultures, traditions and aspirations coexist — the showcase
reflected the dialogue between heritage and modernity, intimacy and ambition.
This year’s runway installation echoed that spirit, juxtaposing raw industrial
materials with reflective surfaces and sculptural lighting to create an
immersive environment where fashion, architecture and emotion converged.

“With Astitva, our
students have demonstrated that great design begins with authenticity,” said
Mr. Tarun Pandey, COO — Istituto Marangoni, Mumbai. “This year&#039;s showcase is a
celebration of identity, not as something fixed, but as something continually
shaped by memory, culture, lived experience and transformation. Each collection
reflects a deeply personal journey while speaking to universal ideas of
belonging, resilience and self-discovery. At Istituto Marangoni Mumbai, we
encourage our students to look inward before they look outward, because the
strongest creative voices are those rooted in individuality. As they graduate
into an increasingly global fashion landscape, Astitva is a testament to their
ability to translate personal narratives into contemporary design with
confidence, purpose and originality” he added.

The collections
showcased at Astitva reflected the culmination of each student&#039;s creative
evolution at Istituto Marangoni Mumbai, nine emerging designers unveiled three
looks each, translating deeply personal narratives into distinctive
contemporary fashion expressions. Rooted in themes of identity, belonging and
transformation, the showcase celebrated not only technical excellence and
creative innovation, but also the emergence of a new generation of designers
ready to contribute to the global fashion conversation.

The students who
showcased their collections at ‘Astitva’ were [in alphabetical order]:


 Anshika Yadav [Ecdysis]: The
     collection explores transformation through the symbolic journey of a bird,
     tracing five stages—origin, expectation, conflict, struggle and
     liberation. As the bird evolves from nest to flight, it becomes a metaphor
     for human growth, resilience and the pursuit of self-definition.
 Anushka Puranik [Anchors of Immanence]:
     The collection explores how family remains as anchor despite physical
     distance. Inspired by the balance between isolation and support, it
     translates their presence into life-sustaining elements of nature.
     Structured silhouettes and layered forms reflect a deeply personal journey
     of finding strength, stability and belonging, even from afar.
 Diya Gupta [Unfinished Rooms]:
     Inspired by the designer’s childhood room, Unfinished Rooms
     explores how the spaces we grow up in continue to shape us. Though the
     room remains unchanged, she has evolved within it. The collection reflects
     a journey of quiet growth, self-discovery and becoming—where unfinished is
     not incomplete, but a state of continual transformation.
 Drishti Bachwani [Alexithymia]:
     Inspired by the psychological condition that makes it difficult to
     identify and express emotions. It reflects her experience of carrying
     countless thoughts and feelings that rarely find words. Through this
     collection, the designer explores the disconnect between what she feels
     and what she shows—a deeply personal expression of everything I&#039;ve kept
     inside.
 Natalia Kumar [Inheritance Adorned]: Inspired
     by Indian jewellery and precious gemstones, Inheritance Adorned traces the
     evolution of adornment through five acts—from innocence to quiet radiance.
     Rooted in the bridal world, each ensemble explores how ornament transforms
     into an expression of identity, memory and personal evolution.
 Paarvi Khullar [Learning to Breathe
     Again]: The collection draws from the designer’s journey through
     anxiety, self-doubt and emotional loss over the past two years. Inspired
     by the feeling of holding everything in, it traces a gradual path towards
     healing, vulnerability and self-acceptance.
 Pallavi Singh [REVIVE]: Inspired
     by the resilience of Kutch after the 2001 Bhuj earthquake, REVIVE celebrates
     the revival of Bhujodi weaving, Ajrakh block printing and Kumaoni
     hand-knitting. Reimagined through contemporary winter wear, the collection
     honours India&#039;s living craft traditions and the communities whose
     determination continues to preserve them.
 Tarini Kakar [La Révolution]:
     Inspired by the phrase, “From dust you are and to dust you shall return,” La
     Révolution explores transformation as a continuous cycle of creation,
     rupture, renewal and transcendence. Through evolving forms and textures,
     the collection celebrates impermanence, not as loss, but as an essential
     passage towards resilience, beauty and becoming.
 Vanya Gupta [Fleeting Grief]: The
     collection explores the lasting impact of losing her mother to cancer at
     sixteen. Through light, fluid silhouettes and a muted palette, it traces a
     journey from grief to acceptance, transforming a deeply personal
     experience into a story of resilience, healing and becoming.


Talking about this
year&#039;s showcase, Kristian Steinberg, Director of Education — Istituto Marangoni
Mumbai, said, &quot;At Istituto Marangoni Mumbai, we encourage our students
to embrace their own stories and cultural identities as the foundation of their
creative practice. ‘Astitva’ reflects that philosophy beautifully, with
each collection demonstrating how personal experiences can be transformed into
contemporary fashion that is both locally rooted and globally relevant.&quot;

Pallavi Singh was
awarded Istituto Marangoni Mumbai’s ‘The Designer of the Year 2026’ for her
‘REVIVE’ collection that she showcased at the event.

Additionally, this year
for the first time, Istituto Marangoni Mumbai conferred Anushka Puranik with
the ‘The Sustainability Award 2026’ for her collection, ‘Anchors of
Immanence’, which explores the enduring value of craftsmanship, conscious
creation, heirloom design, and mindful luxury. 

The excellent
reputation enjoyed by the school lies in the distinctive elements that have
marked its identity since its foundation; first of all, the enhancement and
promotion of ‘Made in Italy’ values, combined with a strong international
vocation, and expressed through an educational system of proven quality and
effectiveness, which makes use of the contribution of, and the established
collaboration with, the most prominent fashion companies of the world.

<title>College Dropout Saurabh Singh Builds Captiviz Digital, Transforming Adversity Into Entrepreneurial Success</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/college-dropout-saurabh-singh-builds-captiviz-digital-transforming-adversity-into-entrepreneurial-success</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/college-dropout-saurabh-singh-builds-captiviz-digital-transforming-adversity-into-entrepreneurial-success</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Delhi, July 22, 2026: Entrepreneurial success is often associated with access to capital,
influential networks, or a family business. For Saurabh Singh, Founder of
Captiviz Digital Private Limited, the journey began with none of these
advantages. A college dropout with no business background, financial backing,
or established connections, Singh relied solely on self-learning, resilience,
and determination to build a performance marketing company that today helps
businesses accelerate growth through data-driven digital advertising.

His entrepreneurial journey was shaped not
only by financial and academic challenges but also by a significant personal
health setback. Singh spent nearly a year bedridden due to health issues, an
experience that profoundly changed his outlook on life and success. The
difficult phase reinforced a belief that has remained central to his
journey—that good health is the foundation upon which every ambition is built.

“When you’re healthy, you have the
opportunity to dream, work, and build. But when your health is taken away,
everything else takes a back seat. Being bedridden for almost a year taught me
that health is life’s greatest asset. Once I recovered, I promised myself that
I would never take that second chance for granted. That experience gave me the determination
to keep moving forward, no matter how difficult the journey became,” said
Saurabh Singh, Founder of Captiviz Digital Private Limited.

Following his recovery, Singh immersed
himself in mastering performance marketing, paid advertising, customer
acquisition, lead generation, and digital growth strategies. With no financial
safety net or professional network to rely on, he started independently,
handling every aspect of the business himself—from acquiring clients and
designing campaigns to executing strategies, analysing performance, preparing
reports, and managing customer relationships.

What began as a one-person operation
gradually evolved into Captiviz Digital
Private Limited, a performance marketing company that works with businesses
across multiple industries. The company delivers growth-focused marketing
solutions through platforms including Google Ads, Meta Ads, and other digital
acquisition channels, helping brands improve visibility, generate qualified
leads, and achieve measurable business outcomes.



As the business expanded, Singh
transitioned from being a freelancer to building an organisation. The journey
required him to develop leadership capabilities, establish operational systems,
manage client relationships, and build a team capable of delivering consistent
results while maintaining a customer-first approach.

One of the milestones he values most is
creating employment opportunities through the company’s growth.

“Building a team has been one of the most
fulfilling achievements of this journey. It represents far more than business
growth—it means creating opportunities for others to learn, contribute, and
build meaningful careers while growing together,” he added.

Singh also credits his family and his
fiancée for being his strongest pillars of support throughout the journey.
While they could not provide financial resources or business infrastructure,
their constant encouragement gave him the confidence to persevere during
periods of uncertainty and self-doubt.

His story reflects the growing rise of
first-generation entrepreneurs who are building successful businesses through
practical skills, adaptability, and continuous learning rather than traditional
career paths or inherited advantages. At the same time, Singh believes
entrepreneurship should never be romanticised. Building a business without
financial backing requires discipline, calculated risk-taking, relentless
learning, and an unwavering commitment to delivering value to clients while
supporting a growing team.

Looking ahead, Singh aims to further
strengthen Captiviz Digital by
expanding its capabilities, building scalable systems, and enabling businesses
to achieve sustainable growth through performance-driven marketing. Alongside
growing the company, he also plans to build his personal brand to inspire
aspiring entrepreneurs, freelancers, and young professionals who may believe
that unconventional beginnings limit their potential.

From overcoming academic setbacks and
financial constraints to recovering from a year-long health challenge and
building a growing digital marketing company, Saurabh Singh’s journey
demonstrates that resilience, continuous learning, and disciplined execution
can turn adversity into opportunity. His story serves as a reminder that while
success may begin with ambition, it is sustained by perseverance—and that good
health remains the foundation upon which every meaningful achievement is built. ]]></description>

The
lithium-ion battery is the heart of an electric three-wheeler and typically the
single largest recurring expense for its owner-operator, with a working life
materially shorter than that of the vehicle itself. For lakhs of e-3W drivers
across India, a battery nearing end-of-life directly threatens daily earnings.
Manba&#039;s new product is designed to bridge exactly this gap — enabling customers
to replace their battery at the point of need through an affordable,
small-ticket, short-tenure loan, and get back on the road without disruption to
their livelihood.

Key
highlights of the offering:

●       
Purpose-built financing for replacement
lithium-ion batteries (with charger kits) for electric three-wheelers.

●       
Small-ticket, short-tenure loans designed
around the earning cycle of e-3W owner-operators.

●       
Batteries sourced only from empaneled,
quality-certified OEMs with warranty and service-network support.

●       
Technology-led process — digital onboarding,
e-mandate based repayments and IoT-enabled batteries.

●       
Phased rollout, beginning with Manba&#039;s
existing electric three-wheeler customer base, followed by a wider market
rollout in due course.

Commenting
on the launch, Mr. Manish Shah, Managing Director, Manba Finance Limited, said:
&quot;A customer with a dead battery is a customer who stops earning.
Battery replacement financing is a natural extension of our vehicle finance
franchise — it protects our customers’ livelihoods, strengthens our existing
portfolio and positions Manba deeper in the fast-growing EV ecosystem. We are
starting with our own customers, whom we know and understand best, and will
scale the product to the wider market in a calibrated manner.&quot;

The
launch reflects Manba&#039;s strategy of building products around the full lifecycle
of the vehicles and customers it finances. With India&#039;s electric three-wheeler
segment continuing to lead EV adoption in the country, battery replacement
represents a large, recurring and underserved financing need — one that Manba
is well placed to address through its branch network, dealer relationships and
deep understanding of the last-mile mobility customer.

The
product will be rolled out in a phased manner across select locations within
Manba&#039;s existing footprint, with expansion linked to portfolio performance and
market response. ]]></description>

<title>FSFTI &amp;amp; PUCA President Dr Anshu Kataria Seeks Uniform Implementation of Allied Healthcare Norms across India</title>

<description><![CDATA[  



Chandigarh, July 22: The Federation of Self Financing Technical Institutions (FSFTI) and
the Punjab Unaided Colleges Association (PUCA) have urged the National Commission
for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP) to ensure the uniform
implementation of the newly notified regulations for paramedical and allied
healthcare education across the country.

 

Dr. Anshu Kataria, President, FSFTI &amp; PUCA &amp; Chairman, Aryans
Group of Colleges, Rajpura Near Chandigarh stated that the new rules introduced
for paramedical and allied health courses should be implemented uniformly
across all states. He pointed out that State Allied and Healthcare Councils
have not yet been constituted in 10 states and requested the National
Commission to establish these State-level Councils so that these states can
also be brought under the ambit of National Allied and Healthcare regulatory
framework.

 

Dr. Kataria further urged that, before the implementation of the new
norms, the sanctioned intake of all private universities, deemed universities
and affiliated colleges across the country should be uploaded on the portal. He
also requested that the approved intake for the academic session 2026 be uploaded
so that students can verify the sanctioned intake of every college and
university before taking admission.

 

Raising the issue of land norms, Dr. Kataria said that the Commission
had initially prescribed a 10-acre land requirement for Bachelors of Physiotherapy
(BPT) institutions, which was later reduced to 5 acres, whereas Maharashtra
follows a 2-acre requirement. He requested the Commission to adopt and
implement one uniform land policy across the country.

 

DR. Rev K. V. K. Rao, General Secretary, FSFTI said that the
Commission had initially made NEET mandatory for paramedical courses.
Subsequently, the requirement was restricted to only 3–4 courses, and later
even this provision was deferred, resulting into ambiguity in the minds of
lakhs of students in India.

 

Adv Amit Sharma, Senior Vice President, PUCA stated that I.K. Gujral
Punjab Technical University (IKG-PTU) has not yet granted affiliation to any
college in Punjab and is awaiting directions from the UGC. He requested the
National Commission to ensure that these norms are implemented uniformly across
the country through the UGC among all allied colleges of India.

 

S. Manjit Singh, Patron, PUCA, said Allied Healthcare has emerged as
one of India&#039;s fastest-growing healthcare sectors, with over 2,500 institutions
offering more than 2 lakh seats annually, playing a crucial role in
strengthening the country&#039;s healthcare delivery system.


 

HPS Kanda, Executive
Member, PUCA, said transparent regulations and policy stability are essential
to safeguard the interests of students, institutions and universities while
ensuring quality Allied Healthcare education across the country. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai, July 21, 2026 : In one of the most significant
developments in Indian entertainment this year, visionary producer Humayun

<title>Aiviue wants to Make Frontline Hiring Predictable, Not Just Faster</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/aiviue-wants-to-make-frontline-hiring-predictable-not-just-faster</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/aiviue-wants-to-make-frontline-hiring-predictable-not-just-faster</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ BENGALURU,
India — [21st July] : Aiviue, the agentic
hiring platform built for frontline workforces, today unveiled its long-term
vision for frontline recruitment: a world where hiring is no longer a volume
problem solved by speed, but a prediction problem solved by intelligence.

Frontline employees power India&#039;s
economy. They run retail floors, move supply chains, serve customers across
hospitality, and drive field operations across sectors. Yet hiring remains one
of the most fragmented, manual, and unpredictable functions employers manage.
Recruiters process hundreds of applications per role, chase candidates who
never respond, and watch confirmed joiners disappear before their first shift.

Aiviue&#039;s vision reframes the problem
entirely. Rather than asking how recruiters can move faster, Aiviue asks a
different question: what if employers could know, before making an offer, who
would actually show up and stay?

“Frontline hiring in India has always
been treated as a volume problem,” said Sudev Das, Founder and CEO of Aiviue.
“We believe it is a prediction problem. The industry has spent years trying to
process applications faster. We are building something different: a hiring
system that identifies candidates most likely to join, perform, and stay before
recruiters ever pick up the phone.”

At the centre of this vision is Aivi,
Aiviue&#039;s AI hiring agent. Aivi engages candidates through conversations instead
of forms, screens them in 22 Indian languages, and assesses the signals that
predict outcomes. Recruiters receive a ranked shortlist based on fit and
joining probability, rather than an undifferentiated pile of applications.

Early results demonstrate the impact of
this approach. Across deployments, Aiviue has helped employers reduce
time-to-hire from 7–10 days to as little as 72 hours, lower no-show rates by
30%, and increase selection rates from 6–8% to 25% and above.

In one recent high-volume deployment, it
generated more than 3,000 applications, shortlisted 592 qualified candidates,
and enabled approximately 95–110 successful hires across multiple locations,
reducing hiring timelines to a fraction of the employer&#039;s previous process.

“The candidates were always there,” said
Sudev. “What was missing was a system that could engage them in a language they
recognised, on platforms they already trusted, and reliably identify who was
serious. That is the gap we exist to close.”

Aiviue&#039;s approach reflects how frontline
talent actually applies for jobs: through video job shorts, social media,
WhatsApp, QR codes, referrals, and geo-targeted campaigns rather than lengthy
forms. Hiring happens conversationally, in vernacular languages, and within the
catchment area of each location, helping employers reach the right candidate in
the right neighbourhood.

The goal is not simply to automate
recruitment. The goal is to make recruitment more predictable.

Built on experience serving more than 1.2
million job seekers and hundreds of employers across India, Aiviue has observed
that the strongest hiring outcomes often depend on signals traditional
recruitment systems fail to capture early enough in the process.

Aiviue’s system is designed around this
reality, focusing on intent, commitment, and probability rather than just
qualifications.

As workforce demands intensify across
retail, logistics, manufacturing, hospitality, BFSI, and field services,
employers face growing pressure to build reliable frontline teams while
controlling costs and protecting candidate experience. Aiviue&#039;s vision
positions predictability, not just automation, as the next frontier of hiring.

“Speed alone was never the answer,” Sudev
added. “An employer who hires in 24 hours but loses half those hires to
no-shows has not solved anything. The future of frontline hiring is not just
fast. It is predictable. That is the future we are building.”

About Aiviue

Aiviue is an agentic hiring platform for
frontline workforce recruitment in India. Through its AI hiring agent, Aivi,
the platform combines conversational screening, vernacular video job
descriptions, hyperlocal sourcing, and predictive candidate scoring to help
employers hire faster, smarter, and more predictably. Its mission is to make
frontline hiring a prediction problem solved by intelligence, rather than a
volume problem solved by manual effort.

Aiviue is currently working with
employers across 5 core sectors - Retail, QSR &amp; Hospitality, Logistics
&amp; Delivery, Automotive, and BFSI and is onboarding new companies through a
free trial.

Employers can begin hiring with Aiviue at
no cost for the first 30 days.

<title>CONNECTION OVER CORRECTION: RAISING CHILDREN WHO TRUST THEMSELVES</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/connection-over-correction-raising-children-who-trust-themselves</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/connection-over-correction-raising-children-who-trust-themselves</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

BY KARISHMA 

We don&#039;t even realize it, but every time we speak to our
children, we are writing the script for their inner voice. Long after a child
leaves home, the way their worst moments were handled becomes the echo they
hear when they face their own failures.

Yet, in the thick of an exhausting day, it is so easy to
forget this. Imagine a common scene played out in countless households: A
parent standing over a child during a stressful standoff, watching tiny
shoulders tense up under the full weight of adult authority. Voices get raised,
threats are issued, and demands for absolute obedience echo through the room
until, tear-eyed and defeated, the child finally breaks.

In that moment, a hollow surge of victory can wash over a
parent. The behavior stopped. The child listened.

But as the quiet of the evening settled in, a heavy,
heartbreaking realization often took its place. Looking back at those
interactions, a profound question emerges that every parent must eventually
face: When we win every battle with our child, do we actually win?

Success is often measured by immediate compliance. If the
bad behavior stops, it is assumed discipline works. But traditional discipline
methods like hitting, shouting, and shaming might halt an action in the moment,
while the invisible internal price children pay is far too high.

The Hidden Lessons of Control

Let&#039;s dive deep into the gap between what adults think they
are teaching and what a child actually internalizes:

●     
When a child bites, and a parent
hits back to “teach them it hurts”. The
intention is to teach empathy. But inside, the child learns that ‘their big
feelings are too much. When they’ll lose control, they deserve pain’.

●     
When a child refuses homework, and
adults resort to shouting and punishment:
The goal is to build a work ethic. But the child hears ‘Making mistakes
makes me unworthy. Fear gets me moving, not confidence’.

●     
When a child takes something they
shouldn&#039;t and the reaction is a slap: The
intention is to correct their character. In reality, it teaches them ‘Hide
better next time. Don’t tell the truth if the truth brings shame’.

●     
When a teenager fails an exams,
disappointment is unleashed by listing everything they do wrong: The hope is to prepare them for the harsh realities of life.
What they hear loud and clear is ‘I am a failure’.

Giving
Space for Real Learning

Real accountability doesn’t happen in a split second under
pressure rather it requires space to process. When a child makes a mistake,
forcing an immediate, insincere apology teaches compliance, not empathy.

Instead children need time to cool down, realize the impact
of their actions, and genuinely feel ready to repair the situation. More
importantly, they learn how to repair things by watching adults do it. When
parents show the way by practicing patience, managing their own big emotions,
and sincerely apologizing when they lose their cool, children naturally copy
what they see. If we practice accountability, our kids will do the same.

The Power of Choice over Force

True independence grows from small moments of autonomy. When
parents constantly impose, dictate or force every detail, a child either breaks
down or learns to resist.

Giving children the space to make small decisions like
choosing their own outfit, deciding between two healthy snack options, or
managing their own routine, builds self-trust. Guidance is not about forcing
control, it is about setting safe boundaries while honoring their voice. When
children feel heard and respected in small choices, they are far more likely to
cooperate when big decisions matter.

The Toll of Quick Obedience 

Years down the road, parents may find themselves looking at
a child who obeys quickly, never talks back, and walks on eggshells. On the
outside, it looks like a parenting victory. But looking deeper, it is critical
to ask if that approach raised a child who can actually: 

●     
Trust themselves

●     
Repair their own mistakes

●     
Ask for help when they are drowning 

●     
Handle failure with resilience

●     
Feel worthy even they are imperfect

If a child
only complies out of fear, they never learn the actual skills required to
navigate life. Science tells us that while fear can abruptly halt a behavior in
the moment, it is the connection that teaches the lasting skills behind
the behavior.

Shaping their Inner Voice 

Children do not need pain to learn empathy, they need steady
guidance to build it. The ultimate goal of parenting is not to raise a child
who fears consequences or grows up hiding their true selves to keep the peace.

The real goal is to raise a child who carries a parent&#039;s
voice as their inner strength. 

When children make a mistake in the future, they shouldn&#039;t
have an angry parental voice shouting in their head, telling them they are a
failure. They need to remember a voice of safety that tells them ‘You messed
up, but you are strong enough to fix this’.

The message for today&#039;s parents is to lay down the weapons
of control, anger, and shaming. Children are not adversaries to be conquered in
a battle of wills. By choosing connection over correction, parents
ensure that they don&#039;t just win the argument today, but that they keep their
child&#039;s heart for a lifetime. Also read (Beyond the Spoon: Why connection is the secret ingredient)

<title>Gaurav Gupta’s ‘Light Song’ Comes Alive on the Road, as MG SELECT Unveils the Couture Editions of the MG M9 and Cyberster</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/gaurav-guptas-light-song-comes-alive-on-the-road-as-mg-select-unveils-the-couture-editions-of-the-mg-m9-and-cyberster</link>

<description><![CDATA[  

●       
The limited Couture Edition of MG M9 and MG
Cyberster will be produced in 50 units each, available exclusively through MG
SELECT. Pre-reservations end with the price announcement on August 3, 2026.


Mumbai
| July 20, 2026 : Internationally acclaimed couturier Gaurav
Gupta unveiled Light Song, his latest couture collection, at the Jio World
Convention Centre in Mumbai. Developed over nine months by more than 200
artisans across 6,000 hours of hand craftsmanship, the collection presented
over 70 couture looks spanning cocktail dressing, occasion wear, bridal couture
and menswear. As the Official Automobile Partner of the showcase, MG SELECT,
the luxury brand channel of JSW MG Motor India, marked the occasion with the
unveiling of the MG M9 and Cyberster Couture Editions, India’s first
couture-edition luxury vehicles, bringing the House’s design language off the
runway and onto the road.

Extending
the creative universe beyond the runway, the Couture Edition of the MG M9 and
MG Cyberster, both envisioned by Gaurav Gupta were unveiled at the show.
Inspired by his signature Serpent Infinity motif, a recurring symbol of
continuity, transformation and quiet power, the bespoke vehicles reinterpret
automotive design through the lens of haute couture, bringing together craftsmanship,
innovation and rarity in two highly exclusive collector editions.



The
collaboration between the two Houses builds on a partnership that began earlier
this year at the opening of Gupta’s menswear flagship in New Delhi, where an
early, exploratory take on the Cyberster first hinted at what couture and
automotive design might build together. For this chapter, that dialogue moved
from suggestion to statement: both the M9 and the Cyberster now carry Gupta’s
Serpent Infinity motif, a recurring signature in his work associated with
continuity, transformation and quiet power, realised through the same
embroidery artistry, tonal layering and hand-finished detailing that defined
the silhouettes on Light Song’s runway — lending each vehicle a sense of movement
and depth that shifts with the light, much as fabric does. The Cyberster,
designed by Gaurav Gupta, also featured on the runway itself, extending the
collection’s narrative into motion.

Speaking
on the occasion, Milind Shah, Head - MG SELECT, JSW MG Motor India said,
“We believe the future of luxury lies in creating experiences that people
connect with emotionally. The MG M9 and Cyberster Couture Editions are a
celebration of that belief. They bring together the artistry of couture to
create vehicles that are as expressive as they are innovative. They reflect our
vision of building automobiles as enduring symbols of individuality,
craftsmanship and modern luxury.”

Speaking
on the collaboration, Gaurav Gupta said, “Every design begins with a
vision of how people experience movement. With the MG M9 and Cyberster Couture
Edition, we translated the craftsmanship and sculptural philosophy of couture
into the world of luxury mobility. It represents a new benchmark where design,
technology and artistry coexist, redefining what a premium automotive
experience can be.”

The
limited Couture Edition of MG M9 and MG Cyberster will be produced in 50 units
each, available exclusively through MG SELECT. Pre-reservations end with the
price announcement on August 3, 2026, giving a select circle of patrons a
narrow window to secure one of these vehicles ahead of their formal arrival.

With
Light Song and its extension onto the M9 and Cyberster, Gaurav Gupta and MG
SELECT together reaffirm a shared belief: that couture is not confined to
fabric, and luxury is best expressed as a continuous, evolving craft — one that
now moves as fluidly across a vehicle’s surface as it does across a silhouette. ]]></description>

The
Company has reported an approximate revenue of ₹42.64 crore for the quarter
ended June 30, 2026, representing a robust 59% year-on-year growth
over the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. The strong
quarterly performance reflects continued demand from marquee clients, expanding
premium media inventory, growing digital capabilities and disciplined execution
across its business verticals.

As part of its digital transformation
strategy, SIMCA is converting three strategically located static hoardings at Agadi
MT (40x40), Nagda Pump House (40x40) and JP Road (20x20) into LED
media assets. In addition, the Company has successfully completed the

further increasing the proportion of premium digital inventory within its media
portfolio.

The Company has also completed the transfer of
two premium media assets under SIMCA Advertising Limited, further consolidating
its listed entity’s operating portfolio and strengthening its long-term

Adding further momentum to its growth, SIMCA
has secured a ₹10 crore work order from a leading BFSI client for the month
of July, reflecting the Company’s strong relationships with marquee clients
and continued demand for its premium outdoor and digital advertising solutions.


Commenting on the development, Mr. Fahim
Batliwala, Chairman, Managing Director and Promoter of SIMCA Advertising
Limited, said: “Our post-listing expansion reflects our
commitment to building one of India’s strongest premium outdoor media networks.
Alongside adding high-quality media assets and accelerating our transition
towards Digital Out-of-Home, we are equally pleased with our strong financial
performance during the first quarter of FY27, with revenue growing by
approximately 59% year-on-year. This growth reflects the trust of our clients,
the strength of our premium media portfolio and our ability to consistently
execute at scale. The continued addition of strategic media assets, recurring
business from marquee clients including the BFSI sector, and our growing digital
footprint position us well for sustained long-term growth. We remain committed
to creating a future-ready media platform that delivers value to advertisers,
shareholders and all our stakeholders.”

This development builds on the strong business
momentum announced earlier, when SIMCA had secured business worth approximately
₹15.26 crore from a leading financial services client at the start of FY27,
providing strong revenue visibility for the current financial year. The
continued addition of premium media assets, expansion of its DOOH network and
repeat business from marquee clients further reinforces the Company’s strategy
of creating sustainable, recurring revenue streams while strengthening
long-term shareholder value.

With a growing client base of 221 clients,
including 217 private sector clients and 4 government sector clients,
SIMCA continues to build long-term partnerships across industries. The
Company’s ability to retain 64 repeat clients highlights the trust it
has earned through consistent execution, premium inventory and measurable
campaign outcomes. Today, SIMCA’s expanding media portfolio comprises 216
media assets, including 74 traditional static hoardings, and 142
Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising slots, reinforcing its position as
one of the leading outdoor media companies focused on premium digital
infrastructure.

SIMCA continues to strengthen its position in
India’s rapidly evolving outdoor advertising landscape through strategic
investments in premium media infrastructure, digital innovation and

<title>Bilingual Poet Anish Kanjilal&amp;apos;s New masterpiece &amp;apos;Ami Nari O Onnanno Prosongo&amp;apos; Explores Women, Love, Identity and the Human Condition</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Kolkata,
July 20 : Renowned bilingual poet, author and educationist Anish Kanjilal has
launched his latest Bengali poetry collection, &quot;Ami Nari O Onnanno
Prosongo &quot;(I, Woman and Other Contexts) , a work that offers an evocative
exploration of love, memory, identity, mortality and the complexities of human
existence. The collection was formally introduced at a press conference held at
the Kolkata Press Club on July 15, 2026, with celebrated filmmaker and actor
Goutam Ghose attending as the chief guest.

Born
in Kolkata on June 23, 1976, Kanjilal has established himself as one of the
distinctive voices in contemporary Bengali and English literature. A bilingual
poet writing in both Bengali and English, he is also the Director of EDUCARE
The Institute and Head of its Department of English. His literary works,
academic contributions and research have consistently reflected a commitment to
human values, philosophical inquiry and social consciousness.

Published
by Dey&#039;s Publishing, Ami Nari O Onnanno Prosongo is more than a collection of
poems. It is an introspective literary journey that traverses the emotional,
philosophical and social landscapes of contemporary life. The volume brings
together poems that contemplate love, loss, death, dreams, freedom, memory, hope
and the search for meaning, while inviting readers to engage with fundamental
questions of identity and existence.

The
collection charts an expansive poetic journey—from the microscopic world of
&quot;Pipre&quot; (The Ant) to the contemplative finality of
&quot;Bisorjon&quot; (Immersion)—symbolically leading readers from the smallest
forms of life to universal consciousness, and from personal emotions to shared
human experience. Throughout the volume, Kanjilal presents poetry not merely as
an artistic medium but as an instrument for understanding life itself.

Love
remains one of the central threads running through the collection, though never
in a singular or romantic sense. Poems such as Likhechhinu Lipikhani
Priyotamake, Prem O Biplab and Premer Samadhi Tire explore affection, longing,
separation, transformation and emotional resilience. These works are balanced
by poems that interrogate society and identity, including Mukhosh, Mondo Narir
Pandulipi Theke and Ami Feminist, where the poet raises compelling questions
about gender, power structures and the evolving discourse surrounding
womanhood.

Mortality
occupies an equally significant place in the volume. Rather than presenting
death as an end, Kanjilal approaches it as a profound philosophical reality
that illuminates the meaning of life. Poems such as Duare Mrityu Asa Bhalo,
Ekti Chuchor Mrityu and Mrityumichhil examine the inevitability of death from
multiple perspectives, while Swapna Holeo Satyi and Mokshalabh suggest
spiritual awakening, liberation and self-realisation beyond material existence.

The
poet&#039;s imaginative landscape seamlessly blends mythology with modernity. Poems
including Medusar Grahan, Brindaban and Brihannala reinterpret mythological and
historical symbols to address contemporary concerns, while works such as E
Shohor Ghumiye Ache Kobore and Madhyanna portray urban alienation, emotional
fatigue and the existential anxieties of modern society.

Stylistically,
the collection moves effortlessly between simplicity and complexity. At times
intimate and lyrical, at others symbolic and philosophical, Kanjilal&#039;s language
remains emotionally authentic throughout. Poems such as Akibuki, Album and
Kabyer Smritite delicately reconstruct memory, time and personal history,
transforming individual experiences into universal reflections.

The
volume also bears the imprint of the poet&#039;s deeply personal experiences.
Several poems are inspired by memories of his mother, lending the collection
emotional depth and an unmistakable sense of intimacy. Together, these personal
narratives enrich the broader philosophical concerns that define the work.

According
to the publishers, Ami Nari O Onnanno Prosongo is not simply a poetry
collection but an invitation to self-discovery. It brings together imagination,
resistance, compassion and hope, encouraging readers not only to appreciate
poetry aesthetically but also to encounter it as a mirror of their own lives.
Every poem presents questions, conflicts, silences and possibilities, inviting
reflection rather than offering definitive answers.

Speaking
about the spirit of the collection, Kanjilal encourages readers to experience
the poems beyond their literal meanings. &quot;Do not merely read these
poems,&quot; he says. &quot;Feel them. Listen to the quiet music beneath every
word, and discover your own life reflected within them.&quot;

Ami
Nari O Onnanno Prosongo is published by Dey&#039;s Publishing and is now available
for readers.

<title>Gera PRRR July 2026: Pune home sales rebound 7%, but record ₹92,110 crore unsold inventory highlights demand concerns</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/gera-prrr-july-2026-pune-home-sales-rebound-7-but-record-92110-crore-unsold-inventory-highlights-demand-concerns</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
July 20, 2026: Gera Developments Private Limited (GDPL),
pioneers in premium residential and commercial real estate in Pune, Goa,
Bengaluru, and California, today released the July 2026 edition of its
bi-annual report, The Gera Pune Residential Realty Report. Now in its
15th year, it remains Pune&#039;s only census-based real estate study of its kind,
covering over 2,900 active projects and more than 3.4 lakh under-construction
homes citywide, and presents an authoritative, data-driven view of market dynamics
for the 12 months ended June 2026.

Key
Highlights:

●     
Sales rebound: Residential
sales grew 7% year-on-year, rising from 86,666 units in June 2025 to 92,341
units in June 2026 — the first annual recovery after three consecutive years of
decline.

●     
Supply outpaces demand: New
launches surged 14%, from 88,941 units to 101,085 units — nearly double the
pace of the sales recovery.

●     
Price growth cools: Average
prices rose 4.8% to a record ₹7,082 per sq. ft. Prices are still rising, but
the pace of increase has slowed by roughly a third, down from 7.3% growth a
year ago.

●     
Unsold inventory value hits an all-time high: The
value of unsold stock jumped 28% to ₹92,110 crore, the highest ever recorded.

●     
Inventory overhang rises: Overhang
increased to 11.3 months from 10.8 months, with the replacement ratio at 1.09 —
confirming that supply is growing faster than sales.

●     
Affordability improves for a third straight
half-year: The affordability index eased to 3.94x annual
income from 3.98x, as salary growth outpaced home price growth for the first
time in five years.

●     
Homes get bigger: Average
home size hit a record 1,275 sq. ft. The 1,401–1,600 sq. ft. band grew 33%,
while compact 600–800 sq. ft. homes fell 19%.

●     
Stress concentrated in Premium Plus: Inventory
overhang in the Premium Plus segment reached 13.5 months, the highest in the
city, while Budget homes remained the tightest at 10.1 months.

This
year&#039;s edition captures a market at an inflection point. After three years of
declining sales, Pune&#039;s residential real estate market staged a recovery, with
offtake rising 7% to 92,341 units in the 12 months ended June 2026 — the first
clear rebound after three soft cycles. However, the shape of this recovery
matters as much as its scale: it was led almost entirely by mid- and large-format
homes. The 1,401–1,600 sq. ft. band grew by a third and the 1,201–1,400 sq. ft.
band rose 17%, while the 600–800 sq. ft. segment — long the market&#039;s volume
backbone — fell 19% for the seventh consecutive year. The upgrader, rather than
the first-time buyer, is driving this cycle.

Developers
have responded to the demand revival with considerable conviction. New launches
climbed 14% to 101,085 units, outpacing the sales recovery and pushing the
replacement ratio to 1.09 — meaning more homes are being added to the market
than are being sold. The clearest expression of this imbalance is the value of
unsold inventory, which rose 28% to an all-time high of ₹92,110 crore.
Inventory overhang across the city rose to 11.3 months from 10.8 months a year
ago, with the strain concentrated in the Premium Plus segment, where overhang
reached 13.5 months — the highest of any price band — while Budget homes
remained the tightest at 10.1 months.

Even
as inventory built up, price growth moderated meaningfully. The city-wide
average rate touched a record ₹7,082 per sq. ft., but grew just 4.8%
year-on-year, down from 7.3% growth in the previous year — meaning prices are
now rising roughly a third more slowly than they were a year ago. This cooling
in prices, combined with income growth of approximately 5.9%, allowed the
affordability index to improve for the third consecutive half-year, easing to
3.94 times annual income from 3.98x a year earlier. This marks the first time
in five years that salary growth has outpaced the rise in home prices — a
meaningful shift for the salaried home buyer.

Speaking
about the findings, Mr Rohit Gera, Managing Director, Gera Developments Private
Limited, said:“After three years of slowing sales, we are
finally seeing the market turn a corner. Home sales are up 7% year-on-year, and
importantly, this recovery has come even as price growth eased to 4.8% from
7.3% a year ago — proof that a moderation in price increases, rather than
discounting, is what&#039;s bringing buyers back. At the same time, the market is
undergoing a clear structural shift in buyer preferences. Demand has steadily
moved away from smaller homes towards larger formats over the past few years.
While homes up to 1,000 sq. ft. have witnessed a sharp decline in sales, larger
homes above 1,400 sq. ft. have recorded the strongest growth, indicating that
today&#039;s market is increasingly being driven by upgraders rather than first-time
homebuyers. However, developers have responded to this recovery with
considerable enthusiasm; new launches are up 14%, comfortably outpacing sales.
This has pushed the value of unsold inventory to an all-time high of ₹92,110
crore, a build-up the industry needs to watch carefully. On the affordability
front, there is genuinely good news: for the first time in five years, salary
growth has outpaced the rise in home prices, pulling our affordability index
back below 4x annual income. Homes remain well within reach of the salaried buyer.
My caution to the industry, however, is this — we cannot let supply continue to
outrun demand indefinitely. Excess inventory, if left unchecked, is good for no
one; it slows cash flows for developers and can delay project execution, which
ultimately hurts the very home buyers it appears to benefit.”

He
added, “The challenge for the industry is that price growth has moderated at
precisely the time construction costs have risen sharply, driven by input and
commodity price pressures. While some of the pressure on material and labour
costs has eased with the improving geopolitical situation, costs remain well
above pre-March levels. If they were to revert to those earlier levels,
developers would largely be able to absorb the impact. However, the more likely
scenario is that costs will settle somewhere in between, in which case some
increase in home prices will be warranted to maintain project viability.
For home buyers, this may translate into some excellent buying opportunities,
particularly in segments like Premium Plus where inventory is highest — but as
always, the financial strength and track record of the developer matters more
than ever.”

Market
Trends and Analysis:

●     
Supply concentrates in two corridors: Zone
6 (PCMC) and Zone 4 (West / IT corridor) together accounted for over 60% of the
city&#039;s new supply. West Pune commands the highest prices at ₹8,592 per sq. ft.,
while PCMC remains the affordability anchor at ₹5,773 per sq. ft.

●     
Configuration mix shifts decisively: 3-BHK
homes now make up 33% of new launches, while 1-BHK launches have fallen to just
10% — a near-complete reversal from six years ago that structurally narrows
choices for entry-level buyers.

●     
Ready stock remains genuinely scarce: Despite
record overall inventory, only about 2,065 ready-to-move-in units are currently
available city-wide out of 86,954 unsold homes — buyers seeking immediate
possession still face a thin market.

Looking Ahead:

Pune&#039;s
residential market enters the second half of 2026 in one of its healthiest
overall balances in years, but its next chapter will be shaped chiefly by
developer discipline. In Gera&#039;s base-case view, sales should hold broadly in
the 92,000–95,000 unit range as the recovery matures, price growth should stay
in the 5–6% range, and developers are expected to moderate the pace of new
launches in response to the current overhang, allowing the replacement ratio to
ease back towards 1.0 over coming cycles. Should launches continue to outpace
absorption, however, overhang could push past 12 months city-wide, potentially
forcing price corrections in the already-stretched Premium Plus segment. For
now, the data does not point to a downturn — rather, to a market whose
stability will depend squarely on developers exercising restraint on the timing
and scale of new supply.

Residential Realty Report:

Gera Pune Residential Realty Report is a bi-annual initiative by Gera

functional Agentic AI Bot, showcasing advanced capabilities in autonomous
reasoning, intelligent decision-making, workflow automation and real-world
problem solving.

technologies that will shape the future. He remarked that such initiatives perfectly
align with Tamil Nadu&#039;s vision of becoming India&#039;s leading AI innovation hub
and inspire the next generation to become creators of technology rather than
consumers. 

World
Record Officially Declared 

Amid thunderous applause from thousands of
students, faculty members and invited dignitaries, Mr. Christopher Taylor
Craft, Records Manager, World Record Union, officially

declared the successful creation of the World

The announcement was greeted with a standing
ovation, symbolizing the collective achievement of 1,000 young innovators whose
passion, determination and technical excellence transformed an ambitious vision
into a world-record accomplishment. 

A
Vision Beyond a World Record 

While the world record remains a historic
milestone, AI NEXUS 2026 was conceived with a much larger purpose—to inspire
students to embrace Artificial Intelligence as a force for innovation,
entrepreneurship and nation building.

emphasized that the world record is not merely a certificate but a symbol of
what young minds can accomplish when they are empowered with the right vision,
mentorship and opportunities. 

A
Campus Alive with AI Innovation 

Following the inaugural
ceremony, the entire Rajalakshmi Engineering College campus transformed into an
innovation arena with multiple AI-focused events taking place simultaneously

<title>Business Round&#45;Up: Innovation Is Creating New Opportunities Across India&amp;apos;s Consumer Economy</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/business-round-up-innovation-is-creating-new-opportunities-across-indias-consumer-economy</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/business-round-up-innovation-is-creating-new-opportunities-across-indias-consumer-economy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

India&#039;s consumer economy is entering a new
phase of growth, driven by evolving lifestyles, rising aspirations, and a
growing preference for experience-led, convenience-focused, and
wellness-oriented solutions. From hospitality and entertainment to beauty, food
service, healthcare, and real estate, emerging brands are creating new
categories while responding to changing consumer expectations.

This week&#039;s business round-up highlights
companies that are not only expanding their footprint but also contributing to
the evolution of India&#039;s consumer landscape through innovation, accessibility,
and differentiated experiences.

RollsKing
expanding in Grab and Go Category, growing the Modern India
As urban lifestyles accelerate, RollsKing is redefining the quick-service
restaurant (QSR) experience for modern India. By crossing 3.5 lakh monthly
orders across 135+ outlets, the brand proves that high-speed dining doesn&#039;t
mean compromising on taste, affordability, or quality. RollsKing isn&#039;t just
feeding a moving nation; it is building the foundational infrastructure for
India’s evolving food culture.
&quot;Consumer expectations have fundamentally shifted. Today, true convenience
isn’t just about speed—it’s about delivering uncompromised quality,
consistency, and value in every single bite. At RollsKing, we aren’t just
keeping up with modern India; we are fueling it. By crossing 3.5 lakh monthly
orders across 135+ outlets, we’ve proven that grab-and-go culture can be both
high-speed and high-quality. Our mission remains focused on scaling a proudly
homegrown brand that evolves seamlessly with the hustle, taste, and lifestyle
of the modern Indian consumer.&quot;- Arjun Toor, Co-Founder RollsKing

Rolling
Fresh Is Strengthening India&#039;s Delivery-First Comfort Food Ecosystem
India’s cloud kitchen space is booming, but
the real magic happens at the intersection of high quality and student-friendly
value. The modern QSR landscape is crowded, yet a massive gap remains for food
that is simultaneously filling, affordable, and optimized for delivery. Enter Rolling
Fresh—the ultimate rising star in this segment, rapidly spreading its wings
across India&#039;s premier student and tech hubs, including galuru, Hyderabad, and
the Delhi-NCR region. By perfecting a delivery-first infrastructure, Rolling
Fresh has cracked the code on what young, campus-going, and early-career
consumers actually want. The brand’s growth is fueled by a deep understanding
of its core demographic&#039;s lifestyle: late-night study sessions, tight budgets,
and a craving for hearty, nostalgic comfort food.

Taste Of
Sikkim Is Bringing Regional Culinary Heritage Into India&#039;s Mainstream Dining
Culture
India’s food scene is undergoing a beautiful
evolution, driven by a deep desire for authenticity and cultural connection.
Consumers are looking beyond generic menus for dishes that tell a story. Taste
Of Sikkim is innovating at the intersection of tradition and modern
dining—taking the soulful, intricate flavors of the Himalayas and seamlessly
translating them into accessible, immersive experiences for urban diners. They
aren’t just serving food; they are opening a vibrant cultural gateway to the
Northeast.
“Regional food has officially taken center stage in India’s dining
culture, but the true depth of Himalayan cuisine remains largely undiscovered.
Taste Of Sikkim is filling this gap by bringing the comforting, unpretentious
essence of a Sikkimese home kitchen to urban diners. Innovation here isn&#039;t
about fusion or flashy presentation; it’s about the culinary logistics of
preserving delicate, authentic homestyle recipes and rare regional ingredients,
delivering them with consistent warmth at scale”- Pooja Sharma, Founder TOS

Glued Supercharged Is Benefiting From India&#039;s
Experience Economy

As discretionary spending increasingly shifts
towards experiences, destination entertainment centres are becoming an
important part of India&#039;s urban leisure ecosystem.

Spread across 32,500 sq. ft., Glued
Supercharged features seven dedicated Super Zones with more than 100 games and
attractions, making it one of Noida&#039;s largest integrated gaming and
entertainment destinations. From birthday celebrations and family outings to
corporate team-building events, the venue reflects the growing demand for
social, activity-led entertainment under one roof.&quot;Consumers today are
looking for destinations where they can celebrate, connect, and create memories
together. Our vision has always been to build an entertainment destination that
offers something meaningful for families, friends, and corporate groups
alike.&quot;-  Hemant Gulati, CEO
Glued Supercharged

Trusmile Labs Is Encouraging A More
Personalised Approach To Oral Wellness

Consumers are increasingly embracing
preventive healthcare and personalised wellness routines, creating
opportunities for innovation across everyday healthcare categories.

Trusmile Labs is responding to this shift with
India&#039;s first smart AM/PM toothpaste system, encouraging consumers to adopt
purpose-built oral care routines tailored to different times of the day.&quot;Wellness
is becoming increasingly personalised, and oral care should be no different. We
wanted to move beyond conventional toothpaste by creating routines that support
changing oral health needs throughout the day.&quot; Vibhanshu Baisla,
Founder Truesmile Labs

Adorable Bliss Is Making Premium Fragrances
More Accessible For Indian Consumers

India&#039;s fragrance market is witnessing rapid
premiumisation, with consumers increasingly seeking products that combine
quality, longevity, and affordability.

Adorable Bliss is addressing this demand
through premium- Eau De Parfum fragrances created exclusively for women, making
everyday luxury more accessible without compromising on performance or
sophistication.&quot;Luxury should feel inclusive rather than exclusive. Our
goal has always been to create fragrances that allow women to express
confidence and individuality through premium-quality products at accessible
price points.&quot;- Akanksha Pandey, Founder Adorable Bliss

Belihode Is Reimagining Home Furnishings
Through Thoughtful Product Innovation

India&#039;s home furnishing market is increasingly
shifting towards products that combine aesthetics with functionality, as consumers
look for solutions that enhance everyday living rather than simply decorate
their homes. Belihode is responding to this evolution by rethinking one of the
most overlooked essentials in Indian households—fitted bedsheets.

Founded by Harshit Arora, a third-generation
entrepreneur from a family with over three decades of experience in the textile
industry, the brand challenged the industry&#039;s conventional one-size-fits-all
approach by introducing fitted bedsheets tailored to multiple Indian mattress
sizes. By combining premium pure cotton fabrics, OEKO-TEX® certified textiles,
AZO-free dyes, and thoughtful engineering, Belihode has transformed an everyday
household necessity into a product designed around comfort, quality, and
functionality.

Building on this philosophy of purposeful
design, the company has expanded into premium soft furnishings, with its
designer cushion covers emerging as one of its fastest-growing categories.
Featuring original contemporary designs brought to life through intricate hand
embroidery by skilled Indian artisans, Belihode is blending modern aesthetics
with traditional craftsmanship while helping preserve India&#039;s rich textile
heritage.&quot;Innovation doesn&#039;t always require creating something entirely
new—sometimes it begins by improving products people use every single day. At
Belihode, we questioned why consumers should compromise on something as
essential as a bedsheet. That same philosophy now guides everything we create,
from perfectly tailored bedding to handcrafted soft furnishings, where
thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and everyday functionality come
together to make homes more beautiful and comfortable.&quot; Harshit
Arora, Managing Director Belihode

Kingsway Is Driving Innovation In India&#039;s
Automotive Accessories Market

As India&#039;s automotive aftermarket continues to
expand alongside rising vehicle ownership, consumers are increasingly seeking
premium accessories that enhance comfort, protection, and the overall driving
experience. This shift is creating new opportunities for manufacturers focused
on quality, customization, and functionality.

Kingsway, a division of KK Motors, is
capitalising on this growing demand with a wide portfolio of Made-in-India
automotive accessories, including its flagship 7D Car Floor Mats, body covers,
magnetic sunshades, memory foam cushions, door visors, and other vehicle
protection solutions. Recognised as one of India&#039;s leading manufacturers and
exporters of car accessories, the company combines advanced manufacturing
capabilities with customer-centric product development to deliver accessories
tailored for Indian driving conditions. Its custom-fit 7D Car Floor Mats,
engineered with premium seven-layer PVC construction, waterproof protection,
and vehicle-specific designs, exemplify the brand&#039;s focus on combining
durability, aesthetics, and everyday practicality.&quot;The automotive
accessories market is evolving beyond aesthetics. Today&#039;s consumers expect
products that enhance comfort, protect their vehicles, and deliver long-term
value. At Kingsway, our focus is on developing high-quality, Made-in-India
solutions that combine innovation, precision, and durability, ensuring every
journey is safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable while strengthening
India&#039;s position as a global manufacturing hub for automotive
accessories.&quot; Nitin Khanna, Founder &amp; CEO of Kingsway Car Accessorise

The Bigger Picture

Across industries, a common thread is
emerging—Indian consumers are making more intentional choices based on
convenience, experiences, wellness, authenticity, and long-term value.
Businesses that successfully understand these evolving preferences are not merely
responding to demand; they are creating entirely new categories for the future.

Whether through destination-led real estate,
smarter commercial kitchens, experience-driven entertainment, regional cuisine,
accessible luxury, or preventive wellness, these emerging brands are
demonstrating how innovation continues to unlock new opportunities across
India&#039;s rapidly evolving consumer economy.

<description><![CDATA[  Santa
Clara, 20th July 2026 : FirstHive today
announces the launch of ‘Eddie’ – The Agentic AI engine that autonomously
transforms data into decisive revenue actions. This signals the company&#039;s
evolution from a customer data platform into a full-stack Enterprise Data
Decisioning and Intelligence Engine, that not only understands an
organisation&#039;s data, but reasons through it, makes decisions, and drives
outcomes autonomously.

The
launch represents a fundamental shift in what enterprise data infrastructure
can do. FirstHive is no longer a platform that just consolidates data or
bridges systems, it is one that can think &amp; act for the enterprise. Eddie
operates at the core of this evolved platform, bringing together deep vertical
intelligence, real-time identity resolution, and autonomous decisioning into a
unified omni-channel capability that enterprises can deploy to achieve their
most complex, high-stakes business growth objectives.

&quot;This
is not just an upgrade - it is an entirely new category,&quot; said Aditya
Bhamidipaty, Founder and CEO of FirstHive. &quot;Enterprises need partners that
deliver revenue outcomes, not more tools. Eddie is the autonomous intelligence
layer that turns FirstHive into the Agentic Growth Platform. Built natively on
our unified customer knowledge graph with vertical context, business
objectives, real-time behavior, intent, and propensity, Eddie acts as the brain
of the CDP, proactively orchestrating decisions and optimizing growth across
fragmented enterprise stacks with built-in governance, data security and
oversight.&quot;

Enterprises working with Eddie&#039;s agentic capabilities are expected to
see a 10x acceleration in time-to-activation, a 25–40% lift in
cross-sell and upsell conversion, and a reduction in preventable churn
of up to 35%through autonomous early-signal detection and intervention. 

What
makes Eddie distinct is that it is not a layer added on top of existing
infrastructure - it is the very core of the platform itself. Eddie draws from
FirstHive&#039;s vertical AI models, its enterprise-grade identity intelligence, and
its compliance architecture to make decisions that are contextually informed,
industry-specific, and explainable.

&quot;Enterprises
have spent years investing in data. Eddie is what makes that investment finally
pay off at the speed and scale the business actually needs,&quot; said Vishal
Sukheja, CPO at FirstHive.

Eddie
is now LIVE. To explore what the platform can do for your enterprise, visit

<title>TCG CREST Launches One&#45;Year MSc in Frontier Intelligence and Autonomous Agents to Prepare Future AI Leaders</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/tcg-crest-launches-one-year-msc-in-frontier-intelligence-and-autonomous-agents-to-prepare-future-ai-leaders</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/tcg-crest-launches-one-year-msc-in-frontier-intelligence-and-autonomous-agents-to-prepare-future-ai-leaders</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Kolkata, India : As Artificial Intelligence
continues to redefine industries worldwide, TCG CREST has announced the launch
of its pioneering One-Year Master of Science (MSc) in Frontier Intelligence and
Autonomous Agents (FIAA)—an advanced postgraduate programme designed to equip
the next generation of researchers, innovators and technology professionals
with deep expertise in intelligent systems.

Applications are now open for the
programme, with classes scheduled to commence in September 2026 at the TCG CREST
campus in Kolkata.

Unlike conventional AI courses that
primarily focus on tools and applications, the MSc in FIAA has been designed
around a research-first philosophy. The programme offers rigorous academic
training in mathematical and computational foundations while enabling students
to explore cutting-edge domains such as intelligent systems, autonomous agents,
reasoning architectures and emerging paradigms of artificial intelligence.

From AI Tools to Agentic AI Systems

Agentic AI represents a major shift in how
organisations will use artificial intelligence. Unlike traditional automation
or assistive copilots, agentic systems can be designed to pursue goals, break
tasks into steps, call tools, interact with data systems, coordinate with other
agents and escalate exceptions to humans. This makes Agentic AI especially
relevant for enterprise workflows, scientific discovery, digital operations,
customer service, supply chains, industrial processes and knowledge work.

However, building reliable agentic systems
requires more than prompt engineering. Enterprise agents must be grounded in
the process being transformed: data flows, business rules, domain constraints,
compliance requirements, exception handling, risk controls, performance metrics
and return on investment. The MSc in FIAA has therefore been positioned to
develop professionals who can connect technical depth with business and process
understanding.

A Research Institute Advantage with Global Knowledge
Exchange

TCG CREST brings the programme to life through
its identity as a research-driven institution. As a deemed-to-be university
with a research orientation, it is focused on knowledge creation, knowledge
application and knowledge dissemination. The Institute for Advancing
Intelligence

(IAI) creates an academic environment
where students can engage with frontier research, advanced computational
thinking and interdisciplinary problem-solving.

The programme is also strengthened by TCG
CREST’s collaboration-led approach. The institution focuses on building
networks with reputed universities, research institutions, technology-driven
global corporations and academic communities. This global knowledge-exchange
orientation - through research interactions, joint projects, workshops,
seminars and academic engagement - gives students access to perspectives that
are current, research-backed and aligned with the way AI is evolving
internationally.

Industry-Academia Bridge Through the TCG Ecosystem

A key differentiator of the FIAA programme
is the opportunity to connect learning with the diversity of the TCG ecosystem.
The Chatterjee Group has interests across knowledge-intensive sectors such as
petrochemicals, materials technology, digital technology, life sciences,
financial services, real estate and technology-led enterprises. This breadth
creates a rare learning context for Agentic AI: students can be exposed to
business problems where data, process, domain rules and operational judgement
matter as much as algorithms.

Through industry-academia interactions,
expert sessions, applied problem statements and capstone possibilities,
students can learn how Agentic AI frameworks may be applied to real-life
challenges.

Responding to a Critical AI Talent Gap

The demand for AI-ready professionals is
expanding rapidly in India and globally. As organisations explore autonomous
agents and AI-led transformation, there is a growing need for talent that can
combine AI, data, domain understanding, governance and business impact. The
FIAA programme is TCG CREST’s response to this gap - preparing students not
only to understand frontier AI concepts, but also to build reliable,
responsible and value-oriented Agentic AI solutions.

Key Programme Highlights

· One-Year Intensive Format: A highly
focused, immersive academic experience designed for accelerated, deep
engagement.

· Research-Driven Curriculum: Built upon
exceptionally strong mathematical and computational foundations.

· Frontier Intelligence Focus: In-depth
exploration of intelligent systems, autonomous agents, reasoning architectures,
and next-generation AI paradigms.

· Industry Integration: Seamlessly
designed with strong industry linkage and exposure to applied problem-solving.

· Capstone Project: A hands-on opportunity
to solve complex, real-world challenges through expert-guided, project-based
learning.

Who Should Apply &amp; Eligibility Criteria

TCG Crest welcomes applications from
forward-thinking minds looking to lead the AI revolution. The programme is
perfectly suited for:

· Final-year undergraduate and
postgraduate students.

· Early-career professionals looking to
pivot or upskill.

· Industry-sponsored candidates aiming to
drive innovation within their organizations.

Admission Requirements:

· A minimum of 16 years of formal
education (e.g., a 4-year Bachelor&#039;s degree or a relevant postgraduate
qualification).

· Minimum qualifying marks as per the
official university admission guidelines.

How to Apply

Applications are officially open. Aspiring
candidates and industry professionals are invited to register their interest
today by visiting the official portal at https://fiaatcgcrestdtbu.in/.

<title>Vyrona.io The AI Platform That Pays You to Chat, Built on Real Revenue</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/vyronaio-the-ai-platform-that-pays-you-to-chat-built-on-real-revenue</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/vyronaio-the-ai-platform-that-pays-you-to-chat-built-on-real-revenue</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

In an era where every
major AI assistant costs a monthly subscription, vyrona.io has taken a path no
one else dared to take. It gives away six powerful AI agents completely free
and actually pays users every single day for using them. This isn&#039;t a gimmick.
It&#039;s not a limited-time trial. It&#039;s a business model that generates real
revenue from decentralized finance trading and shares the profits with the
people who use the platform. Here&#039;s exactly how it all works

Vyrona.io is the only
major AI platform that doesn&#039;t charge users a cent and instead rewards them
with coins backed by actual trading revenue. The business earns from the
market, not from people

Six AI Agents Under One
Roof

Most AI companies give
you one chatbot and call it innovation. Vyrona.io delivers six specialized AI
agents, each built for a different purpose. AI Chat handles everything from
coding help and writing assistance to research and brainstorming a true
general-purpose assistant. AI Finance provides market insights, investment
education, and portfolio analysis in plain English, making complex financial
concepts accessible to everyone. AI Travel is the standout type any destination
like &quot;Bali,&quot; &quot;Tokyo,&quot; or &quot;Paris&quot; and receive a
complete day-by-day travel itinerary with local tips, budget estimates,
mustvisit spots, and cultural recommendations in seconds. Planning a two-week
international trip used to take hours of research; Vyrona&#039;s AI Travel agent
does it before you finish your coffee.

AI Astrology generates
detailed birth chart readings using your exact birth date, time, and location.
It provides daily horoscopes, love compatibility analysis, career predictions,
gemstone recommendations, and yearly forecasts the kind of personalized
astrological service that typically costs $50-100 per session from a
professional. AI Health creates customized nutrition plans, fitness routines,
sleep optimization strategies, and evidencebased wellness guidance. It doesn&#039;t
replace a doctor, but it gives you practical, actionable direction for everyday
health decisions. AI Education rounds out the platform, offering interactive
lessons in math, programming, languages, and science  adapting to your skill level and providing
step-bystep explanations. All six agents support English, Vietnamese, Korean,
and Chinese, with the AI automatically detecting and responding in whatever
language the user types.

The Reward System How
Users Earn Every Day

This is where Vyrona.io
separates itself from every AI company on the market. Users earn Vyrona coins
through simple daily activities that require zero financial investment. The
system is transparent and consistent:

Daily Check-in: +5
coins. Open the app or website once per day. That&#039;s it. Five coins credited
instantly. 

10 Daily Questions: +10
coins. Ask ten questions across any of the six AI agents in a single day. Hit
the milestone and earn the bonus.

Referral Program: +20
coins per friend who joins. No cap. Share your invite link widely every new
user adds to your balance. 

Login First time: +10
coins when you login first time. The more time you spend learning and exploring
with the AI agents, the more rewards accumulate.

A moderately active
user who checks in daily and asks ten questions earns 30+ coins per day, over
900 coins per month, and more than 15,000 coins by 2028 all at absolutely no
financial cost. Everything on the platform is free, and the coins are a bonus
for being part of the ecosystem. These aren&#039;t vanity points that disappear they
represent a pre-launch token allocation for the upcoming VYR token

Where the Money
Actually Comes From

The question everyone
asks: how can Vyrona.io afford to give away premium AI for free while also
paying users? The answer sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence
and decentralized finance. Vyrona.io operates a proprietary MEV (Maximal
Extractable Value) trading bot an automated system that scans blockchain
transactions in real-time across multiple decentralized exchanges like Uniswap,
PancakeSwap, and others.

Here&#039;s how it works in
practice: when someone executes a large cryptocurrency trade on a decentralized
exchange, price differences briefly appear between exchanges before the market
corrects itself. This creates an arbitrage window the same asset is momentarily
priced differently on two exchanges. Vyrona&#039;s MEV bot detects these gaps, buys
low on one exchange, and sells high on another within the same blockchain
block, capturing the spread as profit. The bot operates 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, scanning millions of pending transactions and executing trades at
machine speed.

days a week, scanning millions of pending transactions and executing trades at
machine speed.

These trading profits
flow into four channels: they cover the infrastructure and API costs of running
six AI agents (which would otherwise require a subscription fee to sustain),
they fund every coin reward distributed to users, they build the treasury that
will back the VYR token at its 2028 launch, and they finance platform growth
including the upcoming Android app, AI model upgrades, and new feature
development . Finance web : fin.vyrona.io

The VYR Token and the
2028 Launch

The Vyrona ecosystem is
building toward a major milestone the launch of the VYR utility token in 2028.
The token has a total supply of 10 billion VYR,with 40% allocated to community
rewards and airdrops, 20% to ecosystem development, 15% to the treasury, 10% to
the team and advisors (locked for 24 months with gradual vesting), 10% to
strategic partners and marketing, and 5% to liquidity and exchange listings.

The window between now
and the 2028 launch is the accumulation phase. Every day of activity builds a
user&#039;s position at zero cost. The iOS app is already live on the App Store, and
an Android version is in active development. Visit vyrona.io in your browser or

and Medium Enterprises to participate in global value chains and strengthen
India&#039;s position as a trusted business partner worldwide.

international economic partnerships through innovation, investment,

economic transformation and emphasized the importance of creating mutually
beneficial opportunities for businesses from both countries. His address
reinforced India&#039;s commitment to promoting global collaboration while
encouraging greater participation of Indian enterprises, including MSMEs, in
international markets.

As reflected in the event visuals, the Indian
business delegation participated alongside senior government officials and
industry representatives under the theme &quot;Honoured to be Part of the
Indian Business Delegation to Athens, Greece&quot;, symbolizing the growing
strategic and commercial relationship between India and Greece. The
delegation&#039;s participation highlighted efforts toward strengthening
partnerships across borders, exploring new business opportunities, and building
a stronger India–Greece economic relationship.

The programme concluded with closing remarks
by Mr. Ioannis Bratakos, followed by a networking reception that enabled
government representatives, business leaders, and investors from both countries

Throughout the forum, discussions emphasized
the importance of international dialogue in promoting trade, investment,
innovation, and sustainable development. Participants examined opportunities to
enhance business connectivity, facilitate knowledge exchange, encourage
responsible investment, and strengthen cooperation across multiple industries
that contribute to long-term economic progress.

The forum also highlighted the growing
importance of collaboration between governments, financial institutions,
industry associations, and private enterprises in addressing emerging global economic
opportunities. By bringing together policymakers and business leaders under one
platform, the event fostered meaningful discussions on technology,
infrastructure, supply chains, digital transformation, and investment-led
growth.

As India and Greece continue to deepen their
economic engagement, the India–Greece Business Forum 2026 stands as an
important milestone in strengthening bilateral relations. Through
sector-focused dialogue, government leadership, and industry collaboration, the
forum reinforced a shared vision for sustainable economic progress while
opening new avenues for trade, innovation, and international business
cooperation.

<title>Bangalore&amp;apos;s AI Revolutionaries: Turning Bold Ideas into India&amp;apos;s Next Growth Story</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/bangalores-ai-revolutionaries-turning-bold-ideas-into-indias-next-growth-story</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/bangalores-ai-revolutionaries-turning-bold-ideas-into-indias-next-growth-story</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bangalore
has spent three decades earning its reputation as India&#039;s technology capital,
but the city&#039;s latest chapter is being written by a different kind of pioneer —
the AI entrepreneur. Across co-working spaces, incubators, and boardrooms, a
wave of founders, mentors, and institutions is converging on one idea:
artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic buzzword, it is the
foundation of the next generation of Indian business.

Encouraging new
business ideas to grow

What
sets this moment apart is not just the technology — it is the ecosystem built
to nurture it. Investors, accelerators, and academic institutions across
Bangalore are actively backing first-time founders willing to experiment with
AI-driven solutions, whether in fintech, healthcare, retail, or enterprise
software. The city&#039;s culture of mentorship — pairing seasoned entrepreneurs
with early-stage teams — has become a quiet but powerful engine for turning raw
ideas into investable businesses. Rather than gatekeeping innovation, Bangalore&#039;s
institutions are opening doors: hosting demo days, funding pilot projects, and
giving young companies room to fail fast and iterate faster.

New business ideas
driving market growth

That
encouragement is translating into results. Startups are no longer just building
AI features — they are building entire business models around automation,
predictive analytics, and intelligent decision-making. From AI copilots for
small businesses to platforms that reimagine customer service, the ideas
emerging from Bangalore are increasingly aimed at solving real market problems
rather than chasing hype. This shift — from experimentation to execution — is
what&#039;s starting to move the needle on market growth, as more of these ventures
find paying customers and scale beyond the pilot stage.

Academia&#039;s role: IIM
Bangalore&#039;s Leading Digital Transformation programme

A
significant part of this momentum can be traced back to institutions like the
Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB). Its Leading Digital
Transformation (LDT) programme — run in partnership with Germany&#039;s
Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and the Fraunhofer Institute
— has been quietly shaping how India&#039;s business leaders think about
technology-led growth. The programme pushes working executives to move beyond
simply adopting new tools and instead build transformational business models,
blending classroom learning with real industry projects and intrapreneurship
case studies. By training managers and entrepreneurs to think like founders
within their own organisations, IIMB&#039;s LDT cohort feeds a steady stream of
digitally fluent leaders back into Bangalore&#039;s business landscape — many of
whom go on to champion AI adoption in their companies or launch ventures of
their own.

A rising star to watch

Amid
this churn of ideas and institutions, one name increasingly finding its way
into conversations about Bangalore&#039;s AI future is NARA AI — still early in its
journey, but already being spoken of as one of the names worth watching as the
city&#039;s AI story continues to unfold.

The road ahead

Bangalore&#039;s
advantage has never rested on any single breakthrough company — it has always
been the density of its ecosystem: capital, talent, mentorship, and academic
rigour, all operating in close proximity. As AI reshapes what a &quot;new
business idea&quot; even looks like, the city&#039;s real revolution may be less
about any one startup and more about how effectively it keeps turning ideas
into scalable, market-ready businesses.

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
India&#039;s 2025 Digital Government Index score
stands at 58.2, reflecting a period of consolidation following years of
foundational digital investment

●       
AI-readiness scores across assessed ministries
range from 51.1 to 73.1, highlighting growing preparedness for AI-powered
citizen engagement

●       
Personalization scores reached as high as
81.5, with leading ministries ranking among Asia Pacific leaders

New
Delhi – July 18, 2026: Adobe - the global technology leader that
unleashes creativity, productivity and customer experiences through innovative
tools and platforms — today released its 2025 Digital Government Index (DGI) for India.
The report reveals India&#039;s score stands at 58.2, reflecting a transition from
foundational digitization toward more integrated, accessible and AI-ready
citizen services.

The
DGI evaluates how government websites deliver citizen experiences across
customer experience, site performance and digital self-service. The 2025 India
edition also introduces new assessments of AI readiness and personalization
capabilities, reflecting the growing role of AI-powered experiences in public
service delivery.

“India&#039;s
digital government journey is entering a new phase. The focus is no longer just
digitizing services, but making them more intuitive, accessible and AI-ready.
By improving discoverability, personalization and content quality, ministries
can deliver better citizen experiences while ensuring trusted government
information remains visible in an AI-first world.&quot;
said Venu Juvvala, Head, Customer Experience Orchestration business,
Adobe India.

Strong
digital foundations, new opportunities to elevate citizen experience

India&#039;s
digital transformation continues to be shaped by initiatives such as Digital
India, India Stack and Gati Shakti. While progress varies across ministries,
mobile experience improved by 1.1%, reflecting India&#039;s mobile-first approach
and the growing adoption of platforms such as UMANG and DigiLocker. Customer
Experience declined 3.7%, highlighting opportunities to strengthen
accessibility, readability and overall usability.

Personalization
in focus: Driving more relevant citizen journeys

Personalization
scores ranged from 50 to 81.5, with leading ministries ranking among the
strongest performers across Asia Pacific. The report found stronger
capabilities in areas such as services, updates and login experiences, enabled
by Digital India initiatives including Aadhaar, UMANG and DigiLocker. The
Ministry of Railways demonstrated moderate to high levels of personalization
across citizen journey stages, including through its voice-enabled virtual
assistant, Disha 2.0, which supports AI-powered ticketing in multiple languages
and provides context-aware responses.

Digital
self-service gains momentum

Digital
Self-Service was the strongest-performing dimension, improving 2% to 62.2, driven
primarily by advances in multilingual access and language translation. The
report also highlights how Indian Railways has integrated Bhashini, the
national AI-powered language platform, to support conversational chatbots that
help citizens navigate services and enquiries across Indian languages.

Despite
these gains, accessibility and readability remain areas for improvement.
Accessibility declined 4.1%, while readability dropped 23.7%, underscoring the
need to simplify content, improve structure and embed accessibility checks into
design, content and engineering workflows. 

AI readiness: A new
benchmark for digital government 

The
report also introduces AI readiness as a new benchmark, reflecting the growing
role of generative AI, AI-powered search and digital assistants in how citizens
access information with assessed ministries scoring between 51.1 and 73.1.
While official government websites demonstrate strong trust and authority,
improvements in technical structure and discoverability will help ensure
reliable public information remains visible in AI-powered search and digital
assistants. Personalization scores ranged from 50 to 81.5, with leading
ministries ranking among the strongest performers across Asia Pacific.

More
about the Adobe Digital Government Index methodology

To
provide a holistic view of current digital performance and future readiness,
the analysis combined user testing, third-party technical audits and content
assessments. The 2025 Digital Government Index for India assessed the official
websites of the following Government of India ministries: Ministry of
Cooperation, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Ministry of
External Affairs, Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Road Transport and
Highways, and Ministry of Tourism.

<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai : Dancer, choreographer and Rapper Sharma G turned his
birthday celebration into an unforgettable evening as he launched his debut rap
single, *&quot;Delhi Se Bombay&quot;, while paying a heartfelt tribute to his
late brother. The event, attended by his parents, friends, colleagues, and
several television personalities, was a blend of celebration, gratitude, and
raw emotion.

Presented by The Power House Media , &quot;Delhi Se
Bombay&quot; was unveiled during a grand birthday celebration in Mumbai. The
rap-inspired track, packed with energy and vibrant beats, is being positioned
as a party anthem and has already started receiving a positive response from
audiences.



The evening became especially emotional when Sachin spoke
about the loss of his brother. Reflecting on his journey and the family&#039;s
grief, he said,

&quot;We are deeply saddened by the passing of my brother. I
have lost my brother. But I promise that even though one brother is gone, the
other will do something truly memorable.

The emotional moment was followed by another touching scene
as Sachin&#039;s mother broke down during the song launch. The MTV personality
embraced himself on stage, drawing heartfelt applause from those present.

Speaking about his musical debut, Sharma G shared that
releasing his first song in the presence of his parents made the milestone even
more meaningful.

&quot;My first song has been released today, and it is a
truly exciting moment. My parents are here, and launching this song in their
presence is a matter of pride for me. It took me 12 to 13 years to reach this
point,&quot; he said.&quot;

Sharma G also revealed that &quot;Delhi Se Bombay&quot; is
inspired by his own journey from Haryana to Mumbai in pursuit of his dreams. He
described the song as a reflection of ambition, passion, and perseverance,
while crediting director Himanshu Sharma for bringing the project to life.

With the launch of his first song, Sachin is now expanding
his creative horizons beyond dance and stepping into music full-time. Looking
ahead, he aims to bring together the dance and rap communities, blending both
art forms to create a larger cultural movement

<title>HSNC University Vice Chancellor Challenges Every Student to Solve One Real&#45;World Problem Before Graduation</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/hsnc-university-vice-chancellor-challenges-every-student-to-solve-one-real-world-problem-before-graduation</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/hsnc-university-vice-chancellor-challenges-every-student-to-solve-one-real-world-problem-before-graduation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Degrees.
Jobs. Placements. For generations, these have been the milestones that students
associate with a successful university education. But on the opening day of
HSNC University&#039;s Master Induction Series 2026, Vice Chancellor Col. Prof.
Hemlata K. Bagla challenged that belief with a question that lingered long
after her address had ended.

&quot;When
you leave this University,&quot; she asked, &quot;will you carry only a
degree... or will you leave behind a legacy?&quot; That single question became
the defining theme of an inspiring keynote that urged students to become
problem-solvers, innovators, ethical leaders and compassionate changemakers
rather than merely successful professionals.

Addressing
a packed auditorium of incoming students, Dr. Bagla delivered a thought-provoking
inaugural address titled &quot;The Journey Begins: My Expectations from
Every HSNCian.&quot; Far from being a conventional orientation, the session
challenged students to rethink the very purpose of higher education in a world
being reshaped by technology, uncertainty and rapidly evolving careers. It also
set the tone for the Master Induction Series 2026, a seven-day immersive
programme designed to welcome incoming students into a culture of excellence,
innovation and purpose.

Drawing
inspiration from the ancient universities of Takshashila and Nalanda, she
reminded students that education has always been about far more than acquiring
knowledge. It is about nurturing wisdom, character, values and the ability to
contribute meaningfully to society. She encouraged students to become lifelong
learners who continuously reinvent themselves in an ever-changing world.

Speaking
about the future of work, Dr. Bagla observed that while technical
expertise may help students secure opportunities, qualities such as integrity,
emotional intelligence, resilience, creativity and ethical leadership will
determine how far they 

ultimately
go. In an age where artificial intelligence is transforming industries, she
urged students to cultivate the uniquely human abilities that technology cannot
replicate, including compassion, critical thinking, collaboration and
responsible decision-making.

A
packed auditorium, eager minds and an inspiring vision. The inaugural session
of HSNC University&#039;s Master Induction Series 2026 marked the beginning of an
exciting journey of learning, leadership and limitless possibilities.

She
also reminded students that success cannot be measured solely through grades,
titles or salaries. True fulfilment, she said, is built upon self-awareness,
discipline, empathy and continuous personal growth.

To
illustrate these ideas, Dr. Bagla turned to timeless wisdom from the
Panchatantra. Through the story of the Blue Jackal, she demonstrated how
appearances and borrowed identities eventually crumble under pressure. &quot;When
pressure tests you,&quot; she remarked, &quot;what comes out should be
competence, not panic.&quot; The lesson resonated as a reminder that genuine
capability and strong character will always outlast superficial success.

She
followed this with the story of The Monkey and the Crocodile,
highlighting that intelligence is not merely about acquiring knowledge but
about applying it wisely in moments of uncertainty. Presence of mind, sound
judgement and ethical decision-making, she said, are qualities that distinguish
outstanding leaders. She also encouraged students to embrace failure as an
inevitable and invaluable part of growth, reminding them that resilience often
becomes the defining trait of those who achieve lasting success.



Curiosity
took centre stage as students actively engaged with Vice Chancellor Dr. Bagla
posing thoughtful questions and sharing their aspirations during an interactive
Q&amp;A session. The lively exchange reflected HSNC University&#039;s commitment to
fostering open dialogue, critical thinking and lifelong learning.

Rejecting
the traditional divide between science and the humanities, Dr. Bagla
called upon students to embrace interdisciplinary thinking. Innovation, she
explained, flourishes when analytical thinking meets creativity, technology
meets empathy and knowledge transcends conventional boundaries.

Calling
human talent India&#039;s greatest resource, she urged students to think beyond
conventional career paths and aspire to become researchers, innovators,
entrepreneurs and nation-builders. &quot;If Indian minds can build world-class
institutions and companies across the globe,&quot; she asked, &quot;why can&#039;t
we build the next world-class enterprise from India?&quot;

Dr.
Bagla then invited students to reimagine their years at HSNC University as an
innovation journey. Every meaningful breakthrough, she explained, begins with
observation, followed by questioning, research, collaboration, experimentation
and continuous improvement before culminating in innovation, patents, start-ups
and tangible societal impact. &quot;Great innovators are not born
overnight,&quot; she observed. &quot;They are shaped by curiosity, perseverance
and the courage to ask better questions.&quot; Summing up this four-year
journey in a mantra, she encouraged students to explore in the first year,
experiment in the second, innovate in the third and launch their ideas in the
fourth, making each academic year a stepping stone towards entrepreneurship and
societal impact.

She
then presented what may well become the defining philosophy of the University: One
Student. One Problem. One Solution. One Impact. Every student, she said,
has the potential to identify a real challenge within society and work towards
solving it. If every graduate leaves campus having addressed one meaningful
problem, the collective impact could transform communities and contribute
significantly to nation-building.

Continuing
this powerful theme, she challenged students to redefine success itself. Rather
than asking, &quot;What career will you build?&quot; she encouraged them to
ask, &quot;What kind of person will you become?&quot; She envisioned every
HSNCian graduating not only with a degree, but also with research experience,
innovative thinking, industry exposure, publications, patents, entrepreneurial
ventures and, above all, a commitment to creating positive social impact. She
concluded this segment with another thought-provoking question that echoed
throughout the auditorium: &quot;Why should history remember you?&quot;

Among
the most moving moments of the address was Dr. Bagla&#039;s ardent appeal for
educational inclusion. She urged students to identify deserving young people
from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and members of the transgender
community who aspire to pursue higher education but lack access to
opportunities.

Reaffirming
HSNC University&#039;s commitment to inclusive education, she assured students that
deserving candidates would be supported through full scholarships, ensuring
that financial hardship or social disadvantage never becomes a barrier to
quality higher education.



A
memorable beginning to the Master Induction Series 2026, featuring a ceremonial
Guard of Honour. The programme was eloquently anchored by Dr. Soumya Dubey,
culminating with a heartfelt vote of thanks delivered by Registrar Dr. Bhagwan
Balani, who encouraged students to make the most of the opportunities awaiting
them at HSNC University.

The
session concluded with an engaging interaction, as students enthusiastically
shared their aspirations and posed thoughtful questions to the Vice Chancellor,
reflecting the University&#039;s culture of openness, intellectual curiosity and
dialogue.

The
week-long Master Induction Series 2026 featured distinguished speakers from
government, academia, industry and civil society, exploring themes such as
inclusive leadership, cyber-security, sustainability, scientific communication,
health and well-being, disaster preparedness and personality development.

As
students left the auditorium, they carried with them far more than an
introduction to university life. They carried a challenge to build character,
to solve problems, to change lives and perhaps, in the process, create a
legacy. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Munnar, Kerala : The Grand Cliff
Resort, Munnar developed by GF Hotels and Resorts Pvt Ltd, has been awarded the
Government of India&#039;s 5-star classification, placing it among the highest-rated
hospitality properties in Kerala, India. Located near Lakshmi estate in Munnar
town, the resort earned the distinction following a rigorous, multi-stage
evaluation by the country&#039;s official classification authorities.

A Rating
Earned, Not Assumed

India&#039;s star classification system assesses properties against a
wide range of benchmarks, including service quality, operational standards,
available facilities, sustainability practices, human resource efficiency, and
guest satisfaction. The process includes multiple committee reviews and direct
on-site inspections designed to ensure consistency and fairness across the
country&#039;s hospitality sector. The 5-star tier sits at the top of this
framework, reserved for properties that meet the highest standard across every
parameter assessed.

For The Grand Cliff, the classification formalises what the resort
has positioned itself to deliver since opening: a property built to a scale and
standard rarely seen in this part of the Western Ghats. Spread across forest,
tea garden, and plantation land, the resort&#039;s 68 rooms, suites, and villas are
anchored by a central Palace Block, with interiors inspired by European
classical architecture set against Munnar&#039;s colonial-era hill station
character. This luxury resort in
munnar has gained consistent 5 star reviews with facilities that include an infinity
pool overlooking waterfall and tea estate views, a dedicated Western spa, sauna
and fitness facilities, forest-set yoga sessions, and the Eagle Park — an
in-resort theme park built by around 300 artisans over three years.

 A Platform for
Gender-Inclusive, Responsible Tourism

The Grand Cliff, an officially classified 5-star resort recognized
by the Government of India, hosted the International Women&#039;s Conference on
Gender-Inclusive and Responsible Tourism, organized by the United Nations. The
conference was attended by delegates from several countries to discuss and
promote gender-inclusive, safe, and responsible tourism practices. During the
conference, Kerala was recognized as a safe destination for women-only travel.

Rooted in
the Community

The Grand Cliff, an officially classified 5-star resort in Munnar
has undertaken various initiatives to support the tribal communities in the
region by promoting tourism as a sustainable source of livelihood. By helping
preserve their traditional homes and way of life, the resort contributes to
safeguarding the knowledge, skills, and cultural heritage that have been passed
down through generations.

The various Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives
undertaken by this officially classified 5-star resort in Munnar include
supporting children through emotional and technical development programs and
creating greater awareness about waste management. The resort team has
conducted numerous plastic removal campaigns on a regular basis to promote
environmental conservation.

The resort&#039;s Green Club initiative focuses primarily on skill
development and creating cleaner, healthier living spaces for the community.

On the global stage, the property has hosted
high-profile international engagements, including the UN World Women Conference
on Sustainable Tourism and Safe Travel, and has welcomed visiting dignitaries
such as Viktor Orbán,  Hungarian
Prime Minister to the grand cliff resort, Munnar, kerala. He stayed in our
luxurious resort during the period of  12/01/2025 to 14/01/2025.

With such distinguished guests gracing its
address, The Grand Cliff Resort, Munnar has emerged as a hub for international
dignitaries and premium guests visiting India.

What the
5-Star Classification Signals

A government 5-star rating is a recognised marker of trust for
both Indian and international travellers, particularly for high-value occasions
such as weddings, honeymoons, and corporate events, where guests and planners
look for assurance on facilities, service, and operational standards before
booking. Combined with its role in advancing responsible and gender-inclusive
tourism, and its ongoing commitment to the communities of Munnar, the
classification positions The Grand Cliff to compete directly with the country&#039;s
established luxury addresses states TravTalk India — while offering a
property and price point still new to Munnar&#039;s market.

&quot;This classification reflects years of planning translated
into a working standard of service,&quot; said a Grand Cliff Resort
spokesperson. &quot;It&#039;s a benchmark we intend to build on, not just hold
onto.&quot;

About The
Grand Cliff Resort

rooms, suites, and villas, located in Viripara on the Kallar–Mankulam Road in

<description><![CDATA[ Company
bags ₹23.99 crore of new solar project orders in the first fortnight of July
2026, lifting its total order book to approximately ₹248 crore

₹23.99 Cr - NEW ORDERS (1–15 JUL ’26)

●

ORDERS

Ahmedabad,
July 17, 2026 : GRE Renew Enertech Limited (BSE SME: GRERENEW)
today said its consolidated order book has climbed to approximately ₹248
crore, after the company secured fresh orders aggregating ₹23.99 crore
in the first half of July 2026. The continued inflow underscores GRE’s
accelerating momentum in the utility-scale solar segment and its firm shift
toward larger, higher-value contracts.

The
fresh orders comprise a ₹3.49 crore, 0.7728 MWp captive solar project
for a domestic industrial customer, and two orders from a domestic renewable
energy developer — a ₹10.97 crore, 2.91648 MWp solar project under the
DREBP scheme and a ₹9.54 crore, 2.49988 MWp solar project under a
third-party-sale arrangement. All three are grid-connected, ground-mounted
single-axis tracker solar power plants, together adding about 6.19 MWp of
fresh capacity to the company’s execution pipeline.

The
additions build on a book already anchored by a ₹175 crore turnkey order
for a 50 MW (AC) / 65 MW (DC) utility-scale solar project in Maharashtra — a
single contract that alone exceeds GRE’s entire FY25-26 consolidated revenue of
₹122.9 crore. The momentum builds on an operational base that has crossed 100
MWp of cumulative solar installations, with profitability compounding at a
three-year CAGR of 147% to a Profit After Tax of ₹13.6 crore for the year ended
March 31, 2026.

“Our
steady stream of new order wins reflects the trust our customers place in GRE’s
execution capabilities. As we push to strengthen our presence in the
utility-scale solar segment, our order book has grown significantly compared to
our previous year&#039;s operational revenue, providing strong business visibility
and reinforcing our confidence in driving sustained, profitable growth for all
our stakeholders.”

Mumbai,
India: Cinépolis India, one of the country&#039;s leading

<title>India&amp;apos;s Declining Fertility Rate Raises Concern; Xenith Advanced Fertility Centre Launches Free Fertility Health Camp to Promote Awareness</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-declining-fertility-rate-raises-concern-xenith-advanced-fertility-centre-launches-free-fertility-health-camp-to-promote-awareness</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-declining-fertility-rate-raises-concern-xenith-advanced-fertility-centre-launches-free-fertility-health-camp-to-promote-awareness</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune : India&#039;s Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has declined to 1.9, falling
below the replacement level of 2.1 required to maintain a stable population.
Fertility specialists believe that delayed marriages, career priorities,
lifestyle changes, rising stress levels, and a lack of awareness about
reproductive health are contributing to a growing incidence of infertility
among couples. Against this backdrop, Xenith Advanced Fertility Centre has
launched a Free Fertility Health Camp from July 15 to August 1, 2026, with the
objective of creating awareness and encouraging timely fertility evaluation.

The initiative
goes beyond providing medical consultations. It seeks to address the social
stigma associated with infertility, educate couples about the importance of
timely family planning, and encourage them to seek expert medical advice
without hesitation. Many couples postpone fertility assessment due to social,
emotional, or psychological barriers, often losing valuable reproductive years.
The camp aims to reinforce the message that infertility is a medical
condition—not a social stigma—and that timely diagnosis and treatment can
significantly improve the chances of parenthood.

The camp will be
held at Xenith Advanced Fertility Centre&#039;s Wakad and Koregaon Park centres,
where couples will receive expert consultation, fertility assessment, essential
diagnostic guidance, and complimentary semen analysis for men. Those interested
can obtain further information by visiting www.xenithivf.com.

The initiative
is being conducted under the guidance of Dr. Mamata Dighe, Founder and Director
of Xenith Advanced Fertility Centre. A pioneer in reproductive medicine, Dr.
Dighe has been practising medicine since 1992 and has over 28 years of
experience in infertility management and IVF. She established the IVF
Department at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital in Pune and is among India&#039;s first
board-certified specialists in Reproductive Medicine.

According to Dr.
Dighe, many couples today delay parenthood while pursuing higher education,
career growth, or financial stability. However, fertility naturally declines
with age, particularly in women after the age of 30 and more significantly
after 35. She emphasises that timely fertility evaluation and pre-conception
counselling can help couples make informed decisions and improve their chances
of a healthy pregnancy.

Dr. Dighe
further noted that remarkable advances in In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and
reproductive medicine have transformed infertility treatment over the past two
decades. Modern IVF technology has enabled successful pregnancies even in
complex cases involving PCOS, endometriosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, male
infertility, and advanced maternal age. She stressed that IVF should not be
viewed as a last resort but as a scientifically proven, safe, and highly
effective treatment when recommended at the appropriate time by experienced
fertility specialists.

Through this
awareness initiative, Xenith Advanced Fertility Centre hopes to foster open
conversations about infertility, improve reproductive health awareness, and
encourage couples to seek timely medical guidance. The centre has appealed to
couples across Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad to participate in the camp and take a
proactive step towards achieving their dream of parenthood.

<title>As Diamond Self&#45;Purchase Rises, Joules By Radhika Positions Polki&#45;Inspired Jewellery as a Premium Expression of Modern Indian Celebration</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/as-diamond-self-purchase-rises-joules-by-radhika-positions-polki-inspired-jewellery-as-a-premium-expression-of-modern-indian-celebration</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/as-diamond-self-purchase-rises-joules-by-radhika-positions-polki-inspired-jewellery-as-a-premium-expression-of-modern-indian-celebration</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi [India], July 17: Indian women are increasingly rewriting the reasons they buy jewellery. What was once primarily associated with weddings, inheritances and gifting is becoming part of a more personal ritual: recognising a promotion, celebrating a first home, marking a birthday, rewarding a business milestone or simply choosing something beautiful for oneself. Polki necklace sets have become the latest trend recently among Indian buyers.The rise of diamond self-purchase has brought this changing jewellery mindset into sharper focus. Recent coverage by Vogue India, citing the BoF–McKinsey State of Fashion 2026 report, notes that 42% of women say they are buying more jewellery for themselves than they did a few years ago. In India, the shift is particularly significant because jewellery has always carried cultural and emotional meaning. Today, women are retaining that meaning while becoming the decision-makers behind the purchase.Diamonds remain a powerful part of this story. They continue to represent aspiration, achievement and enduring personal style for women who are financially independent and increasingly confident about buying luxury for themselves. However, the underlying trend is larger than one category. It is about the desire for jewellery that feels considered, expressive and worthy of an important moment.For women who want visual impact alongside a connection to Indian design heritage, Polki- and Kundan-inspired jewellery offers a compelling choice. These styles bring together the warm glow of gold-tone finishes, the luminosity associated with Polki detailing, pearl drops, coloured stones and ornate silhouettes that have long been integral to Indian occasion dressing. They are designed to be noticed, remembered and worn as part of a personal story.Joules By Radhika, a Mumbai-based luxury fashion-jewellery brand, sees this evolution as a meaningful opportunity to make heritage-led design feel more personal and contemporary. The brand has spent more than 15 years in the jewellery business, including export work with wholesalers internationally. Its founder and creative force, Radhika Chitalia, comes from a diamond-jewellery background and has studied design, conceptualisation and manufacturing for over eight years. Joules By Radhika operates a design studio and manufacturing unit in Mumbai, combining artistic direction with an understanding of how statement jewellery is worn today.The result is a collection of premium fashion-jewellery designs created for wedding celebrations, festive occasions and the personal milestones that increasingly shape modern purchasing behaviour. Rather than treating jewellery as something that must be saved for one defining day, the collection encourages women to select pieces that can become part of many moments.Chokers remain central to this point of view. The Alluring Choker is designed for women who prefer a bold, close-to-the-neck statement with a clean contemporary silhouette. It pairs naturally with an open-neck blouse, a modern sari drape or a minimal lehenga, allowing the jewellery to become the focal point of the look. The Polki-Pearl Classic Choker Necklace offers a softer interpretation, bringing together Polki-inspired detailing and pearls for occasions where the mood is polished rather than overtly dramatic. The Polki-Pearl Elegant Choker Necklace and Lavya Choker Necklace Set similarly provide a refined option for wedding guests, bridesmaids and women dressing for intimate festive gatherings.For larger celebrations, Joules By Radhika’s layered and cascading designs bring a sense of depth and occasion. The Regal Cascade Necklace Set and Savya Layered Necklace Set are suited to events where a more expressive look is welcome: a sangeet, reception, cocktail celebration or family wedding. Layered necklaces work particularly well with clean, solid-coloured outfits because they allow the details of pearls, stonework and gold-tone finishing to stand out without competing with heavy embroidery.Colour is another way the collection reflects modern self-expression. The Ruby Teardrop Halo Necklace Set brings warmth and richness to festive dressing, making it a natural choice for evening celebrations and jewel-toned Indian wear. The Firoza Cascade Polki Necklace Set offers a fresher, more playful colour direction, suited to destination weddings, mehendi functions and daytime celebrations. The Gold Tone Kundan Polki Biege Necklace Set, enhanced with pearl drops and green accents, gives women a versatile option that can be styled with ivory, beige, soft pink, rust or emerald-green palettes.For women looking for a more elevated statement, the Noor-e-NazaakatPolki Necklace Set, Royal Necklace Sets, Aariniini Necklace Set and Anaya Necklace Set offer pieces made for occasions that carry emotional weight. Whether worn for a sibling’s wedding, one’s own festive hosting moment or a long-awaited personal celebration, these designs are intended to feel special without being restricted to a single use.That repeat-wear potential is central to the self-purchase mindset. A woman may choose a necklace to celebrate a promotion, then wear it for Diwali, a close friend’s wedding or an anniversary dinner. Over time, the jewellery becomes associated with more than its first outing. It becomes a reminder of progress, confidence and the life she was building when she chose it.For Joules By Radhika, premium jewellery is therefore not defined only by occasion. It is defined by the feeling a piece creates: the confidence of wearing something that reflects one’s taste, the pleasure of honouring a personal win and the connection that comes from choosing Indian design with intention.As diamond self-purchase continues to signal a more independent and expressive jewellery buyer, Polki- and Kundan-inspired designs offer another meaningful route into premium occasion dressing. They carry the drama of celebration, the familiarity of heritage and the freedom of self-choice.Joules By Radhika stands at that intersection, creating premium fashion jewellery for women who are not waiting to be gifted a reason to celebrate. ]]></description>

including White, Black, Light Grey, Light Blue, and Light Yellow. Combining
understated aesthetics with everyday functionality, the sneakers transition
effortlessly from workdays to weekends, making them a versatile addition to the
modern wardrobe.

Mr.
Manish Poddar, Founder &amp; Creative Director, The House of Rare &amp; RARE’Z,
comments, &quot;The hardest products to design are often the
simplest. When you are working with a clean silhouette, every millimetre
matters - the height, the proportions, the toe shape, the sole, and the way the
upper sits on the foot. OTIMO is the result of continuously refining those
details until the product felt balanced. That process is what makes the
collection meaningful to me.&quot;

The
launch campaign embraces a restrained creative direction, allowing the product
itself to take centre stage. Through clean compositions, minimal styling and
thoughtful visual storytelling, the campaign highlights the craftsmanship,
silhouette and detailing that define OTIMO.

<description><![CDATA[  

NEW DELHI,
India  : A new consultancy platform, i.e., Fssailicence.com, streamlines FSSAI Basic Registration, FSSAI State Licence, and FSSAI Central Licence applications
for emerging food entrepreneurs, helping them navigate the regulatory landscape
of India.

Fssailicence.com, a food safety compliance consultancy based in
New Delhi, announced the extension of its services to enable food businesses
operating in India to get their FSSAI
Registration faster and more accurately. 

Recently, many entrepreneurs have faced challenges for many
entrepreneurs to get through the complex layers of the Food Safety and
Standards Authority of India&#039;s licensing system. The Regulations are frequently
updated, and this has been creating difficulties during the registration
process. Delays or rejections have become a common issue, and the platform aims
to solve that problem by providing dedicated support for the different
categories of FSSAI registration, namely , , and  categories.

The Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, mandates all food
business operators, which include businesses ranging from domestic catering
firms to large exporters, to obtain FSSAI certification from the Food Safety
and Standards Authority of India before they begin their operations. However,
many businesses get stuck on the question “What type of FSSAI licence do I need
for my business?” The answer to this depends on the turnover, geographical
size, and nature of the business. Therefore, a wrongly filled application may
lead to delays in processing, fines, or require re-submission of the
application.

To solve this, fssailicence.com has come up with a 4-step process: consultation to determine the appropriate licence class, documentation preparation &amp; verification, application submission with regulatory
compliance followed, and delivery of
the licence. So far, the company has assisted more than 10,000 food business
operators and facilitated over 11,000 approved food licenses, which include
food businesses from small home-based units to medium-sized manufacturers in
various regions across the country.

The company&#039;s service levels are commensurate with the layers of
regulation itself. FSSAI Basic
Registration is for small and start-up food businesses with an annual
turnover of up to INR 1.5 crore. FSSAI
State Licence is applicable for medium-scale operators that have an annual
turnover between INR 1.5 crore and 50 crore within a single state. This
includes manufacturers, processors, distributors, and other similar
businesses. FSSAI Central Licence
is designed for bigger companies, such as those that operate across multiple
states, have import-export businesses, or act as suppliers to government
institutions. The firm also provides support for licence renewals and changes,
which can help businesses prevent any disruption that might arise.
Fssailicence.com assists in preventing business disruptions that might occur
due to the expiration of the licence, or when there are changes to the
requirements for the business.

The company’s services extend beyond  FSSAI Registration; the company sees compliance management as part
of its core business, ensuring that food businesses are audit-ready all year
long instead of just on the day of FSSAI approval.

“If you
are looking for a consultancy that provides you with the best FSSAI
Registration service, your search ends here. I&#039;m overall satisfied with the
service that FSSAI License provides to its
clients.”

<description><![CDATA[  A
refillable luxury fragrance accessory co-curated by Shah Rukh Khan, crafted for
men who carry confidence wherever they go

New Delhi, India: DENVER, one of India&#039;s leading men&#039;s grooming
brands, presents the DENVER Autograph Perfume Atomiser—a premium
refillable fragrance accessory that brings luxury, convenience and personal
style together in a compact, travel-friendly format.

Created for men who appreciate the finer details of personal grooming,
the DENVER Autograph Perfume Atomiser offers a sophisticated way to carry
fragrance wherever life takes them. Compact enough to slip into a pocket,
briefcase or cabin bag, the atomiser is designed for effortless, on-the-go
use—making it the perfect companion for workdays, travel, social occasions and
everyday touch-ups.

The atomiser is available with a choice of three luxury fragrances
from the premium DENVER SRK Autograph Collection, co-curated by Shah Rukh Khan.
Each fragrance blend is imported from France and bottled in India, combining
global perfumery craftsmanship with contemporary Indian aspirations.

As men&#039;s grooming and personal style continue to evolve, fragrance is
increasingly becoming an extension of identity. The DENVER Autograph Perfume
Atomiser addresses this shift by offering a product that is not only functional
but also aspirational—a personal signature that travels with its owner and
reflects his individuality.

Designed with a minimalist yet premium aesthetic, the atomiser draws
inspiration from the refillable travel fragrance formats offered by some of the
world&#039;s most prestigious perfume houses. With its sleek design and reusable
format, it delivers a luxury experience that feels both modern and accessible.

The launch also reimagines men&#039;s gifting in India. While traditional
gifting options such as wallets, belts, apparel and gadgets remain commonplace,

prestige in a single package. The DENVER Autograph Perfume Atomiser aims to
fill that gap, offering a thoughtful and stylish gift for fathers, brothers,
husbands, boyfriends, partners and friends who appreciate refined living.

Built for contemporary lifestyles, the atomiser can be refilled within

<title>Bespoke Interior Design in Bangalore Begins With a Conversation</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/bespoke-interior-design-in-bangalore-begins-with-a-conversation</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/bespoke-interior-design-in-bangalore-begins-with-a-conversation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Arpita
Subbaiah, Founder and CEO of IMARAA Designs, on why the most important thing a
designer can do — before touching a material, a floor plan, or a finish — is
stop talking and start listening. 

Most conversations about bespoke interior design in Bangalore begin
with aesthetics — the mood board, the material palette, the references a client
arrives with after weeks on Instagram. Arpita Subbaiah, Founder and CEO of
IMARAA Designs, tends to begin somewhere else entirely.

Before a single finish is discussed, before a floor plan is opened,
she listens. Not to the brief — every client has a brief — but to the life
behind it. The way a household actually moves through its day. Which rooms
carry the most traffic and which sit quietly underused. What gets placed on the
kitchen counter every morning without thinking. The objects that accumulate
near a favourite chair.

It is, she acknowledges, a slower way to start. It is also, she
maintains, the only way to arrive at something genuinely bespoke. &quot;Bespoke
is not a finish or a price point,&quot; she says. &quot;It is the degree to
which a space reflects the people who live in it. You cannot get there by
looking at a mood board. You get there by understanding a life.&quot;

Bespoke
is not a finish or a price point. It is the degree to which a space reflects
the people who live in it.

WHAT
LISTENING ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

IMARAA&#039;s design process is structured around what Arpita calls the
narrative phase — a period of deliberate, unhurried conversation before any
creative work begins. The questions she asks are not design questions. They are
life questions. How does this family eat together? Where does the day begin and
where does it end? What does the home need to hold that it does not hold now?

The answers, accumulated over multiple conversations, become the brief
that actually matters. The aesthetic decisions that follow are not imposed —
they are derived. A client who needs quiet in the morning gets a bedroom that
earns it through material choices and spatial orientation, not just soft furnishings.
A family that gathers in the kitchen gets a kitchen designed for gathering, not
for photography.

This approach shapes what bespoke interior design in Bangalore looks
like at its best — not the application of a premium aesthetic to a given space,
but the creation of a space so specific to its occupants that it could not
reasonably exist anywhere else. That degree of specificity, Arpita argues, is
the actual measure of luxury.

A
home is only truly finished when every element within it has been considered —
including the objects that live on the shelves, the pieces arranged on a table,
the way a collection of ceramics sits together in a room.

THE
DETAIL THAT COMPLETES A SPACE

At IMARAA, the design process does not end when the civil work is done
and the furniture is placed. It ends considerably later — when the space has
been styled to the level of finish that Arpita considers complete. That level
is specific and, to clients encountering it for the first time, occasionally
surprising.

A home, in her view, is not finished until its objects have been
considered with the same rigour as its architecture. The ceramics on a shelf
are not decorative afterthoughts — they are part of the argument the room is
making. The way a dining table is dressed, the objects that sit together on a
sideboard, the particular arrangement of pieces near a window: these details
are what separate a designed space from a styled one, and a styled one from a
space that has been genuinely finished.

&quot;Styling is not decoration applied at the end,&quot; she says.
&quot;It is the final sentence of a long piece of writing. You can have a
beautifully constructed piece that ends badly. We don&#039;t hand over until the
sentence is complete.&quot; For clients seeking bespoke interior design in Bangalore
at a level where the attention to detail holds all the way to the last object
in the room, it is a commitment that is both unusual and, in the end, exactly
what bespoke means.

CRAFT,
SOURCING, AND THE INDIAN DESIGN TRADITION

The listening philosophy extends to how IMARAA sources. Arpita has
spent years building relationships with artisans and craft communities across
India — weavers, ceramicists, metalworkers, stone-carvers — whose work carries
a depth of making that standard procurement channels do not offer. The objects
and materials that result from these relationships are not interchangeable.
They are specific, in the way that bespoke things are specific.

This approach to sourcing is, in part, a reflection of Arpita&#039;s
broader conviction that the most considered spaces are ones where every element
has been chosen rather than selected. There is a difference, she suggests,
between a material that was available and a material that was right. The
process of finding the latter takes longer. The result is a room that holds its
quality across years rather than seasons.

For Bangalore&#039;s luxury homeowners — a generation of clients who have
built high standards into every other area of their professional lives — this
degree of consideration is increasingly what they arrive at IMARAA looking for.
The bespoke interior design market in Bangalore has matured. The clients within
it have too. 

Arpita Subbaiah has been doing this work long enough to know that the
rooms she is most proud of are rarely the ones that photograph best. They are
the ones where, six months after handover, the client mentions almost in
passing that the house has started to feel like theirs. That is, she would say,
the point at which the listening paid off. Everything else followed from that.

<title>Why EV Partnerships in India Are Essential for Commercial EV Adoption</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-ev-partnerships-in-india-are-essential-for-commercial-ev-adoption</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-ev-partnerships-in-india-are-essential-for-commercial-ev-adoption</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

EV
partnerships in India are essential because fleet electrification requires more
than electric trucks or buses. Operators also need access to financing,
charging, or battery-swapping, maintenance support, and route planning. Drivn
Transition, as a commercial EV leasing platform, works by connecting these
elements through strategic collaborations, helping translate these requirements
into practical deployment models.

How
Do Commercial EV Partnerships in India Reduce Financial and Operational Risk?

Commercial EV partnerships in India reduce
risk by distributing responsibilities across manufacturers, leasing companies,
energy providers and fleet operators. Each partner manages the area in which it
has the right expertise.

Drivn
follows this model by working with commercial EV manufacturers, mobility
companies and energy infrastructure providers. As an electric commercial
vehicle leasing platform, it connects vehicle supply with financing,
maintenance, charging support and deployment.

This
approach can address several risks:

·       High upfront
investment: Leasing allows operators to access electric trucks and buses
without purchasing the entire fleet. 

·       Technology
uncertainty: OEM partnerships provide vehicles suited to defined commercial
applications. 

·       Charging
limitations: Energy partners can develop charging or swapping systems around
fleet routes. 

·       Maintenance
concerns: Long-term service support can reduce unexpected downtime. 

·       Utilisation risk: Mobility
partners can connect vehicles with confirmed routes and transport demand. 

What
Do Drivn’s Commercial EV Partnerships Cover?

Drivn’s commercial EV partnerships cover
vehicle supply, leasing, charging, battery swapping, maintenance and fleet
deployment. Each collaboration addresses a different requirement within the
commercial EV ecosystem:

  Combines
  electric bus supply with leasing, financing, maintenance and charging support
  
 


Why
Are Vehicles Alone Not Enough for Commercial EV Adoption?

Vehicles
alone are not enough because commercial fleets also need reliable charging,
financing, maintenance and energy planning. Careful planning and specialised
expertise are essential because each vehicle must match its payload, distance
and operating schedule.

Drivn
shows how commercial EV partnerships in India can connect vehicle leasing with
infrastructure and operational support, helping electric trucks and buses
remain productive on high-use routes.

To
Conclude

Commercial
EV adoption depends on how well businesses integrate vehicles, financing,
energy access, maintenance and demand. Drivn’s collaborations with Energy in
Motion, BillionE Mobility, Switch Mobility and JBM Electric Vehicles show how
specialised partners can address these needs. Together, these partnerships
combine vehicle supply with leasing, charging, battery swapping and operational
support, helping shift the sector from isolated purchases to coordinated fleet
deployment. Their long-term impact will depend on making electric trucks and
buses practical to finance, operate and scale.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Why
are EV partnerships important for commercial fleets?

EV
partnerships help fleets access vehicles, finance, charging, maintenance and
operational support through a coordinated model. This reduces the burden of
managing each requirement independently.

Which
areas do Drivn’s commercial EV partnerships cover?

Drivn’s
partnerships cover electric trucks, electric buses, leasing, financing, battery
swapping, charging infrastructure, maintenance and fleet deployment.

How
does Drivn support commercial EV adoption?

Drivn
supports commercial EV adoption by leasing electric trucks and buses and
working with manufacturers, energy providers and mobility companies to create
practical deployment models. ]]></description>

information and are structured around four focus areas—love and relationships,
career and finance, spiritual growth, and energetic clearance.

According to Psychic Medium Daksh, professionals from
Gurgaon, particularly those working in corporate and consulting roles, have
shown significant interest in the career and finance category.

Daksh Kakkar, known professionally as Psychic Medium Daksh,
said he has been practising as an evidential spirit medium and Akashic Records
reader for more than ten years, offering sessions both in person from Delhi and
remotely for clients across India.

According to the practice, many Gurgaon-based clients seek
appointments while evaluating career transitions, business decisions,
promotions or relocations, often requesting sessions at short notice ahead of
important professional decisions.

The practice further stated that remote consultations have
become increasingly popular among working professionals with demanding
schedules, allowing clients to participate without travelling to Delhi. It
added that the structure and duration of sessions remain the same regardless of
whether they are conducted in person or remotely.

In addition to Akashic Records readings,
the practice offers mediumship sessions, psychic readings and a combined Life
Soul Path session. According to the practice, some clients who initially book
Akashic Records sessions later return for other spiritual consultation services
based on their individual interests.

The practice also stated that clients from Gurgaon
frequently ask whether business partners or co-founders can attend
career-focused readings together. According to Daksh, sessions are conducted
individually, although clients may choose to share their personal insights with
others afterwards at their own discretion.

Commenting on the nature of client interactions, Daksh said
that professionals from corporate backgrounds often approach consultations with
focused and specific questions.

&quot;Many of the Gurgaon clients I
meet are at important career crossroads and are trying to make sense of
decisions that may not be easy to discuss in a workplace setting,&quot; said Daksh. &quot;The sessions often help them explore
those questions from a personal and spiritual perspective.&quot;

He added, &quot;Professionals from corporate environments
generally ask very direct and specific questions, which often leads to more
focused discussions during the session.&quot;

According to the practice, it does not differentiate session
duration or pricing based on a client&#039;s profession, designation or industry,
and follows the same consultation format for all clients.

About Psychic Medium Daksh

Daksh Kakkar, professionally known as Psychic Medium Daksh,
is a Delhi-based practitioner of evidential spirit mediumship and Akashic
Records reading. According to the practice, he has over ten years of experience
and has delivered two TEDx talks. The practice also states that he has been
featured in various media publications, including The Times of India and
Pinkvilla.

<title>ESDS Launches Swaraj Nandi and Swaraj Hansa, Two Sovereign Enterprise Security Platforms Built Entirely in India</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Two
of the most exploited weaknesses in enterprise security, unwatched privileged
access and unread security alerts, get closed at once, by a platform built for
governance and a platform born inside a live security operations centre.
Launched in the presence of economist and Swadeshi Jagaran Manch National
Co-Convener Dr. Ashwani Mahajan.

Mumbai,
India, 16th July 2026:   ESDS Software Solution
Limited, a sovereign cloud and data centre provider in India, today announced
the general availability of two enterprise-grade platforms built entirely on
Indian soil: Swaraj Nandi, a Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform that
governs the credentials, sessions and audit trails behind an organisation&#039;s
most sensitive systems and Swaraj Hansa, an AI-powered autonomous SIEM platform
designed to close the gap between threat detection and action. Together, the
two launches address the two failure points that consistently sit at the centre
of enterprise security incidents in India: who has access to what and who is watching
what happens once they have it. The launch was held in the presence of Dr.
Ashwani Mahajan, National Co-Convener of the Swadeshi Jagaran Manch and noted
Indian economist, as chief guest.

Swaraj
Nandi and Swaraj Hansa join Swaraj AIOPS, Swaraj Garuda and Swaraj Jatayoo as
the newest members of ESDS&#039;s portfolio of indigenous enterprise technology
platforms, each engineered, built and supported entirely on Indian soil. Taken
together, the platforms reflect a deliberate, sustained programme to build the
security and infrastructure layer Indian enterprises depend on from within
India, rather than import it.

Swaraj
Hansa did not begin as a product idea. It began inside ESDS&#039;s own security
operations centre, where analysts were living with the exact problem the
platform now solves for clients: alert volumes no team can keep pace with,
detections that arrive without an explanation attached and every new data
source meaning weeks of manual rule-writing before it is even usable. Swaraj
Hansa was built by the people who felt that pain first, to fix it for
themselves, before ESDS decided to bring it to market.

Dr.
Ashwani Mahajan, National Co-Convener, Swadeshi Jagaran Manch, said:

&quot;India has demonstrated on the global stage
that we have built world-class capabilities in defence, space and digital
public infrastructure. The next frontier is digital sovereignty. As we
strengthen our indigenous cloud, AI, and cybersecurity ecosystems, we are not
only reducing strategic dependence but also creating globally competitive technologies.
As we continue to build indigenous digital infrastructure, our cloud, data, and
critical technologies must remain under India&#039;s control. Only through
self-reliance in digital infrastructure can we secure India&#039;s technological
future and emerge as a trusted global technology leader. This is the commitment
required to build a truly self-reliant Digital India”.

Manch

 

Piyush
Somani, Promoter, Managing Director and Chairman, ESDS Software Solution
Limited, said:

“Every
organisation we serve banks, government bodies, hospitals, large enterprises
carry the same exposure, in two forms. Somewhere inside its infrastructure sits
a handful of credentials that, in the wrong hands, unlock everything. And
somewhere in its security operations, a signal is arriving that no one has the
time to notice. Both risks have historically been managed the same way:
informally, and on trust alone. That is no longer adequate for the systems
India now depends on.”

“Swaraj
Nandi addresses the first. Every credential is vaulted, rotated and governed
under Zero Trust principles. Swaraj Hansa addresses the second and it was built
with the discipline of people who have worked inside a security operations centre
themselves, not designed at a distance from the problem. What both platforms
share is a conviction we hold across our portfolio: that India&#039;s most sensitive
infrastructure deserves security that is built, owned and accountable within
India.”

Piyush
Somani, Promoter, Managing Director and Chairman, ESDS Software Solution
Limited

Two
Gaps, One Root Cause

On
privileged access, the failure is silence: no session audit trail to answer who
accessed which system and when, credential sprawl across servers and databases
left unmanaged, no kill-switch to terminate a session once it turns malicious
and vendor access granted with no accountability once an engagement ends.

On
security operations, the failure is noise: analyst teams buried under alert
volumes with no reliable way to separate signal from real threat, a nationwide
shortage of Tier-1 analysts to triage what comes in, weeks of manual work to
onboard every new data source and a deepening distrust of AI-driven detection
that cannot explain its own decisions.

Tightening
RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and PCI-DSS mandates now expect auditable, real-time control
over both  a bar most enterprises
currently have no way to clear.

&quot;India&#039;s
digital leadership will ultimately be defined by the technologies we create,
own and govern ourselves. The emergence of sovereign digital platforms reflects
the maturity of India&#039;s innovation ecosystem. Initiatives by our BDIA members
like ESDS are enabling the nation&#039;s Digital Sovereignty vision while laying the
foundation for trusted, resilient and globally competitive digital
infrastructure.&quot;

—
Mr. Abhishek Bhatt, Secretary General - Bharath Digital Infrastructure
Association (BDIA)

Swaraj
Nandi

Swaraj
Nandi functions as a single control plane for privileged credential management,
session governance and compliance reporting, deployable entirely on-premise or
within a private cloud, with no agents required on target systems and no
dependency on foreign cloud infrastructure. The platform vaults and
automatically rotates every privileged credential root passwords, service
accounts, API keys, SSH keys and database credentials so that no human ever
sees a production password in plain text. Every privileged session runs through
a Zero-Trust session manager requiring explicit approval and multi-factor
authentication, with no standing privileges. Every session is recorded down to
the keystroke in a tamper-resistant, searchable audit trail, and built-in behavioural
analytics flag anomalous commands before damage occurs.

Swaraj
Hansa

Swaraj
Hansa is an AI-powered autonomous SIEM platform built on a simple premise:
AI-driven detection, human-owned decisions. Where Swaraj Nandi governs access,
Swaraj Hansa governs visibility collecting, correlating and triaging security
signals across an organisation&#039;s infrastructure and closing the gap between
detection and action rather than stopping at another dashboard of unread
alerts. Every alert Hansa surfaces arrives with a plain-language explanation of
why it was flagged, so an analyst can act on it rather than take a black-box
score on faith. New data sources are onboarded through a guided, largely
no-code setup instead of weeks of custom rule-writing and repetitive triage and
reporting work runs on autopilot so analysts spend their time on the alerts
that actually need a human judgment call. The platform continuously monitors
its own health, runs in a high-availability configuration with no single point
of failure and is built to operate standalone in an air-gapped or private-cloud
environment for organisations that cannot depend on foreign infrastructure a
requirement Swaraj Hansa was designed around from day one, not retrofitted for
later.

Komal
Somani, Whole-time Director, CMO and CHRO, ESDS Software Solution Limited,
said:

“Trust
inside an enterprise has always been an assumption rather than a control, and
that is precisely what a privileged access breach or a missed security alert
relies on. It is rarely a stranger breaking in and rarely a total absence of
warning. It is someone already inside doing something no one was watching for,
or a signal that fired and was lost in the volume. Swaraj Nandi and Swaraj
Hansa are not built to make organisations trust less. They are built to give
them something to verify.”

Komal
Somani, Whole-time Director, CMO and CHRO, ESDS Software Solution Limited

Regulatory
Compliance Architecture

Both
platforms&#039; compliance architecture is mapped directly to the frameworks
governing India&#039;s most regulated sectors including the RBI IT Framework, SEBI&#039;s
CSCRF, the DPDP Act, PCI-DSS v4.0, ISO 27001 and NIST CSF. Swaraj Nandi&#039;s
access approval workflows, session recordings, credential rotation logs and
risk-scoring reports, alongside Swaraj Hansa&#039;s alert triage records and audit
trails, are structured to satisfy each framework&#039;s specific audit and
incident-reporting requirements giving organisations a direct path to
compliance on both access governance and security monitoring without building
custom infrastructure for either from scratch.

Availability

Swaraj
Nandi and Swaraj Hansa are available with immediate effect across On-Premise,
Private Cloud and as-a-Service deployment models. Swaraj Nandi supports Linux
and Windows servers, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, and Cisco and Juniper
network devices. Swaraj Hansa is built to deploy standalone, including in
air-gapped environments, for organisations that require full data sovereignty
over their security operations. ESDS is offering structured POC and pilot
engagements for qualified organisations across banking, government, insurance,
healthcare and large enterprise sectors. Enterprises may request a technical
demonstration or compliance assessment consultation through ESDS&#039;s enterprise
engagement team.

<description><![CDATA[ July 16, 2026, Pune :
Priyadarshani Group of Schools, one of Maharashtra&#039;s leading educational
institutions committed to providing quality, affordable and holistic education,
celebrated its 43rd Founders&#039; Day at Ramkrishna More Natyagruha in Pune.The
occasion also witnessed the presentation of the Samajratna Puraskar 2026, with
the awards being conferred by acclaimed actor Pravin Tarde and eminent
educationist Shri Dattatray Ware Guruji, along with the Managing Trustees of
Priyadarshani Group of Schools.

The celebration commemorated the vision and enduring legacy of the
institution&#039;s founder, Late Shri Indraman Singh Ji, whose journey from a small
village near Varanasi to establishing one of Maharashtra&#039;s leading educational
institutions had continued to inspire generations. Founded on 15 August 1982
with just five students, Priyadarshani Group of Schools had grown to educate
over 17,000 students across Pune and PCMC while remaining committed to
accessible and value based education.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Vinay Singh, Admin Head,
Priyadarshani Group of Schools, said, &quot;Our founder, Late Shri Indraman
Singh Ji, believed that education was not just about academic excellence but
about nurturing responsible, compassionate and ethical citizens. Through
Founders&#039; Day, we reaffirmed our commitment to carrying forward his vision by
shaping future generations who contribute meaningfully to society.&quot;

Reflecting the founder&#039;s lifelong commitment to social welfare, the
institution also honoured individuals and organisations through the Samajratna
Puraskar 2026 for their outstanding contributions towards community
development, education and social service. The Jeevan Gaurav Award was
presented to Adv. Nandu Phadke for his exemplary lifetime contribution
to society.

(Purnkuti Foundation), Vidyadeep Foundation, Sahara Social Foundation, Rahul
Deshmukh, Prajakta Rudravar, Shridhar Iyer and several other inspiring
changemakers who had made significant contributions in their respective fields.

Addressing the gathering, Pravin Tarde said, &quot;Late Shri
Indraman Singh Ji&#039;s journey from Varanasi to Mumbai and finally Pune was truly
inspiring. His vision went beyond educating students. He dreamed of building
responsible individuals with strong values. Students of Priyadarshani were
fortunate to be part of an institution built on such a remarkable vision.&quot;

Shri Dattatray Ware Guruji said, &quot;I was deeply inspired by the vision of Late Shri Indraman
Singh Ji. It was heartening to see that Priyadarshani was not only imparting
education but also shaping children into responsible individuals. The
institution&#039;s strong foundation and values would continue to guide students
towards a brighter future.&quot;

The celebration brought together educators, community leaders,
students, parents, alumni, distinguished guests and well wishers to honour the
institution&#039;s legacy while recognising individuals whose work had created a
meaningful impact on society.

As Priyadarshani Group of Schools celebrated Founders&#039; Day, it paid
tribute to the extraordinary life and legacy of Late Shri Indraman Singh Ji (14
July 1946 – 6 June 2020), whose ideals of accessible education, integrity,
compassion and excellence continued to inspire every classroom, every educator
and every student. More than a remembrance, the celebration reaffirmed the
institution&#039;s commitment to carrying forward his dream with purpose, innovation
and unwavering dedication.

<title>360 ONE unveils landmark brand installations at Mumbai&amp;apos;s Terminal 2</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

360
ONE partners with WPP Media to establish a strategic presence at Mumbai
Terminal 2

Mumbai,
India, July 16 2026: 360 ONE, one of India&#039;s leading wealth and
asset management firms, with over US$74 bn in assets under management, has
partnered with WPP Media to establish a strategic presence at Mumbai&#039;s
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, unveiling the largest
airport brand installations in India at Gates 1 and 8 of Terminal 2 (T2).

As
India&#039;s financial capital, Mumbai provides the ideal backdrop for the
initiative. Together, Gates 1 and 8 welcome approximately 25 lakh travellers
annually, and are frequented by leading business families, entrepreneurs,
institutional leaders, and emerging wealth creators, placing 360 ONE in an
environment defined by movement, global connectivity, and the pursuit of
opportunities.

For
360 ONE, the choice of location is a statement of ambition and an affirmation
of the ecosystem the firm has served for the last 18 years. The installations
carry the firm&#039;s identity across its three businesses: Wealth Management, Asset
Management, and Capital Markets. For WPP Media, the collaboration demonstrates
how strategic media placements can help brands create meaningful visibility in
premium environments where context strengthens brand relevance.

Commenting
on the brand’s installations, Bhavika Kotak, Head of Marketing, 360 ONE,
said, &quot;The airport is amongst those prime locations where India&#039;s most
ambitious journeys begin, and global opportunities become tangible. Every day,
entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, and families pass through these
gates carrying ideas and aspirations across the world. At 360 ONE, our role is
to help those ambitions travel further. These installations place our brand
where ambitions naturally converge.”

Ajay
Mehta, Head, Media Solutions, WPP Media India, said, “By combining strategic
placement, premium formats, and contextual relevance, we have created an
experience that delivers both visibility and meaning. It is a strong example of
how WPP Media is helping brands transform high-value physical spaces into
powerful consumer engagement ecosystems. The most effective media experiences
today are built at the intersection of audience understanding, environment, and
creativity. With 360 ONE, the opportunity was to reimagine airport
infrastructure as a living brand platform rather than a traditional media asset.”

Watch
how the installations were built: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDXv4tmvrDI


Details
about the structures:

The
installations took close to eight months from planning to completion. They were
designed, approved, fabricated, and assembled inside one of India&#039;s most
complex and continuously operating environments, without disrupting a single
departure.

Two
installations are currently placed at Gates 1 and 8, with a third installation
scheduled to be unveiled soon. Together, the three structures weigh 25.5 tonnes
and cover 166 square metres of freestanding installation. Gate 1 spans 46 feet
and weighs 7.5 tonnes, while Gate 8 spans 33 feet and weighs 4.8 tonnes.

The
structures at each gate are built not against a wall or column but rather rise
from a single engineered connection to the floor at each gate. That connection
was the central engineering  challenge,
as airport floors, by design, expand and contract with temperature. The base
plates were redesigned to enable the structure above to stand perfectly still
while the floor beneath it breathed.

The
upper sections were fabricated off-site and transported in modular sections,
while the bases were constructed and installed on-site. Precision was critical
throughout the process, as even a one-millimetre deviation at the base could
result in a six-millimetre misalignment at the top of these tall structures.
The largest installation is engineered to withstand wind loads of up to 34
kilonewtons—equivalent to the continuous sideways force exerted by three cars.
To ensure structural integrity and engineering precision, an eight-step quality
control process was followed across every stage of fabrication, transportation,
and on-site assembly, from the factory floor to the terminal gate.

The
initiative highlights WPP Media’s continued focus on creating innovative,
audience-first media experiences that go beyond traditional formats. By
combining planning, premium environments, and creative execution, WPP Media is
enabling brands to build stronger connections with consumers in moments that
matter most.

<title>How Aludecor Expanded Sustainable ACP Sheet Manufacturing with Two Solar Power Plants</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-aludecor-expanded-sustainable-acp-sheet-manufacturing-with-two-solar-power-plants</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-aludecor-expanded-sustainable-acp-sheet-manufacturing-with-two-solar-power-plants</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Aludecor took another significant step towards sustainable
manufacturing with the inauguration of two solar power plants at its
manufacturing facilities in 2026. The company inaugurated its first solar power
plant at Factory Unit 2 on 19 April, coinciding with Akshaya Tritiya, followed
by the commissioning of the second plant at Factory Unit 3 on 14 May. The
initiative reflects Aludecor&#039;s continued focus on renewable energy, responsible
manufacturing, and environmental stewardship.

With a combined installed capacity of 1,766.25 KWp—998.75
KWp at Unit 2 and 767.5 KWp at Unit 3—the solar power plants were
developed in partnership with BECIS and Solken Power under the OPEX model. The
installations represent an important milestone in integrating clean energy into
the company&#039;s manufacturing ecosystem.

For an ACP sheet manufacturer, energy efficiency plays a
crucial role in building a sustainable production environment. By harnessing
solar power, Aludecor aims to reduce its dependence on conventional electricity
while supporting cleaner and more efficient manufacturing of ACP sheets and
advanced metal composite panel solutions.

The combined installations are expected to offset nearly 2,000
tonnes of CO₂ emissions every year, an environmental impact comparable to
planting more than 90,000 trees. Beyond lowering carbon emissions, the
initiative reinforces the company&#039;s long-term commitment to reducing the
environmental footprint of its manufacturing operations.

Commenting on the occasion, Ashok Kumar Bhaiya, Founder
&amp; CMD, Aludecor, said:

&quot;The inauguration of the solar power plants is more
than an infrastructure milestone; it is a reflection of our long-term vision to
build a future where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. We believe
that responsible manufacturing is the way forward, and this initiative
strengthens our resolve to create a greener tomorrow.&quot;

The solar power initiative forms part of Aludecor&#039;s broader
sustainability strategy, which focuses on responsible manufacturing, efficient
resource utilisation, and continuous investment in environmentally conscious
technologies. As demand grows for sustainable building materials, the company
continues to strengthen its manufacturing practices while delivering
high-performance façade solutions.

Today, Aludecor is recognised as a leading ACP sheet manufacturer in India
offering premium ACP sheets, fire-retardant panels, and innovative metal
composite panel solutions for commercial, residential, institutional, and
industrial applications. Investments in renewable energy not only support
cleaner manufacturing but also reinforce the company&#039;s vision of delivering
façade solutions that combine performance, innovation, and sustainability.

As the construction industry moves towards greener buildings
and lower-carbon materials, initiatives such as these demonstrate how
manufacturing excellence and environmental responsibility can progress
together.

About Aludecor

Aludecor is one of India’s leading manufacturers of premium
aluminium composite panels and innovative façade solutions. Known for quality,
innovation, and sustainability, the company continues to redefine architectural
possibilities while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental stewardship. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

Bangalore, India :
A merit-only, simulation-based program training students and early-career
professionals for Founder&#039;s Office, Strategy, and Product roles at high-growth
startups, and backing them into the room.

Founder&#039;s Find opened applications for the next cohort of its
flagship 8-week program built to place ambitious students and early-career
professionals into Founder&#039;s Office, Strategy, and Product Management roles at
India&#039;s fastest-growing startups.

Founder&#039;s Find is not a course, it&#039;s a selection process.
Only 25 merit-filtered seats open per cohort. Every week, participants solve a
real Founder&#039;s Office problem and are evaluated on how they think, not on
multiple-choice tests. &quot;This is not learning about startups. It&#039;s working
inside one, before you have the job,&quot; says the program.

The credibility sits with its operators. Sessions are led by
people who have actually done the job, including founder Abhisht Abhivyakti
Pathak (ISB alum; ex-Founder&#039;s Office at MyCaptain, which raised $4M+ and hit
₹40Cr revenue; ex-CRED, Josh Talks, &amp; Sociowash), CA Neelam Purohit
(Director of Finance, Hiver), Md. Zeeshan (SVP M&amp;A, Imarticus; co-founder
&amp; CEO of MyCaptain), and product and strategy leaders from Top startup and
a $3B-AUM real-estate-tech firm.

What makes it different is the exit. Every participant
leaves with a simulation portfolio of documented Founder&#039;s Office decisions, a
rebuilt resume that speaks the language FO hiring managers respond to, 100+
applications sent during the program, FO-specific mock interviews, personalised
interview opportunities, &amp; preparation for each interview and direct
relationships with the CFOs, VCs, and PMs who taught them.

Results back the model: members work at Flipkart, Swiggy,
Zepto, Zomato, Urban Company, CRED, and Zerodha, with a median first package of
₹8 LPA and a high of ₹15.6 LPA.

Access is earned, not bought. Applicants apply, solve three
real problems, and receive a scholarship decision within 48 hours, scholarship
up to ₹10,000  the ₹34,999 fee based
purely on the quality of their thinking. The program carries a 10-day
no-questions-asked refund.

Applications for the next cohort are open now.

About Founder&#039;s Find

Founder&#039;s Find is a live, cohort-based program preparing
India&#039;s next generation for Founder&#039;s Office, Strategy, and Product roles at
high-growth startups.

<title>Beyond the Rebrand: How Athox India Is Building a Community&#45;First Fitness Movement India’s fitness industry is evolving</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-the-rebrand-how-athox-india-is-building-a-community-first-fitness-movement-indias-fitness-industry-is-evolving</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-the-rebrand-how-athox-india-is-building-a-community-first-fitness-movement-indias-fitness-industry-is-evolving</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The conversation is no longer limited to gyms, marathons or
competitive sports. Across the country, people are increasingly seeking
experiences that combine wellness, movement and meaningful social connections.
As the experience economy continues to grow, community-led fitness is emerging
as one of the sector’s most promising opportunities.

It is within this changing landscape that Athox India has unveiled its new identity, marking the evolution
of Ground Bharat into a community-driven fitness and lifestyle platform focused
on making athletic experiences more accessible across India.

The new identity was officially introduced during a
specially curated International Yoga Day and Father’s Day celebration at Ubique
Hotel, Barrackpore, bringing together more than 120 participants and guests,
including athletes, wellness experts, digital creators, partner brands and
members of the local community. More than a ceremonial launch, the event
reflected the platform’s long-term vision of creating spaces where movement,
wellness, entertainment and community engagement naturally come together.

Throughout the day, participants experienced guided yoga
sessions, Father’s Day celebrations, networking opportunities, interactive
community games and the official unveiling of the Athox India brand identity
and merchandise.

The wellness sessions were led by Rittika Naskar, Yoga &amp;
Mindfulness Coach, Adeem Ansari, Fitness &amp; Lifestyle Coach, and Avishek
Das, Fitness Trainer, who encouraged participants to embrace healthier
lifestyles through movement, mindfulness and sustainable habits.

For Athox India, the rebranding represents a strategic
evolution rather than simply a change in name.

Derived from “Athletes and On-Ground Experiences,” the name Athox
reflects the platform’s ambition to create immersive experiences where sport,
wellness and entertainment intersect. Guided by its philosophy, “Feel the Win,”
the platform encourages participation, personal growth and community over
competition alone.

Unlike many fitness brands that primarily focus on
memberships or products, Athox India is positioning itself around experiences.
Its objective is to create professionally curated events that bring together
athletes, fitness professionals, creators, families and local communities
through shared moments of movement and connection.

This approach reflects a broader shift within India’s
wellness ecosystem. While metropolitan cities continue to host large-scale
sporting events, demand for professionally organised fitness experiences is
growing rapidly in emerging cities and towns. Athox India aims to help bridge
that gap by expanding community-led athletic experiences across Tier 1, Tier 2,
Tier 3 and Tier 4 India.

Speaking about the platform’s vision, Dr. Sourabh Haldar,
Founder of Athox India, said

“This is a pivotal moment for Athox India as we plan on
making Athox experiences accessible across Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4 regions of
Bharat. We believe every community deserves opportunities to participate in
inspiring athletic experiences that encourage healthier lifestyles, stronger
relationships and a greater sense of belonging.”

Co-Founder Tanisha Haldar believes the platform’s long-term
success will be measured by the opportunities it creates for young people and
grassroots talent.

“Athox India is emerging as a platform that inspires youth
to embrace movement, community and opportunity. Our vision is to create spaces
where sports, wellness and entertainment come together while providing
grassroots athletes with greater exposure and meaningful experiences.”



The launch was supported by Ace Blend as the Official
Nutrition Partner, Skintution as the Official SkincarePartner, and Headlines
Salon, Barrackpore, together with Melting Pot Barrackpore, as Experience Partners,
reinforcing Athox India’s holistic approach to wellness.

As India’s fitness economy continues to evolve, the brands
that succeed may not necessarily be those with the largest infrastructure, but
those capable of creating genuine communities around shared experiences.

Athox India’s transition from Ground Bharat reflects that
philosophy. It is less about introducing a new logo and more about building a
platform where athletic experiences become more inclusive, accessible and
community- driven. For a brand guided by the philosophy “Feel the Win,” success
will ultimately be measured not only by the events

it organises, but by the communities it empowers, the
grassroots talent it nurtures and the culture of movement it helps build across
India.

<title>Monsoon Reinforces the Value of Strategic Connectivity: Why Dwarka Expressway Is Emerging as Gurugram&amp;apos;s Smartest Residential Corridor</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/monsoon-reinforces-the-value-of-strategic-connectivity-why-dwarka-expressway-is-emerging-as-gurugrams-smartest-residential-corridor</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/monsoon-reinforces-the-value-of-strategic-connectivity-why-dwarka-expressway-is-emerging-as-gurugrams-smartest-residential-corridor</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Gurugram, Haryana: Every
monsoon, Gurugram&#039;s residents prepare for the same challenges, traffic
bottlenecks, waterlogging and significantly longer commute times across several
established city corridors. While these disruptions have become an annual
concern, they have also shifted homebuyers&#039; priorities from simply owning a
premium residence to choosing one that offers seamless connectivity and
everyday convenience. 

Among the city&#039;s
emerging growth corridors, Dwarka Expressway has steadily established
itself as one of the most resilient and well connected locations. Designed to
decongest traffic between Delhi and Gurugram, the corridor offers smoother
mobility, wider roads and multiple access points, making daily travel
significantly more predictable, even during the monsoon season. 

For professionals commuting between Delhi and
Gurugram, the expressway has transformed the travel experience, reducing travel
time to nearly 20 minutes across several key destinations while avoiding many
of the congestion-prone stretches traditionally associated with the city. 

Located in Sector 88A, Dwarka Expressway,
Emperium Titan reflects this evolving preference for strategically
connected luxury living. The development combines premium residences with an
address that places residents within easy reach of Delhi, IGI Airport, Cyber
City, commercial hubs, reputed schools, healthcare institutions and
entertainment destinations. 

Beyond location, Emperium Titan has
been thoughtfully planned to deliver a refined lifestyle with exclusivity at
its core. Featuring just 74 spacious residences, the project offers
lower density living, enhanced privacy and a carefully curated ecosystem
complemented by premium amenities, landscaped spaces and modern infrastructure.


“At Emperium Group, we believe luxury is measured
not just by the home itself, but by the quality of life it enables. Our focus
has always been to create residences that make everyday living effortless
through thoughtful planning, strategic locations and seamless connectivity.
Emperium Titan on Dwarka Expressway embodies this vision, giving residents the
advantage of saving time, avoiding congestion and enjoying a more connected
lifestyle,&quot; said Ravi Saund, Founding Director,
Emperium Group. 

With
infrastructure-led growth accelerating and the expressway witnessing rapid
commercial and residential development, industry experts believe the corridor
is poised to remain one of the strongest long-term investment destinations in
NCR. 

As Gurugram continues to expand, developments
located on future-ready infrastructure corridors are expected to deliver not
only a superior lifestyle but also greater resilience against

everyday urban challenges. For homebuyers
seeking luxury without compromising accessibility, Emperium Titan offers an
address where connectivity becomes one of life&#039;s greatest conveniences. ]]></description>

<title>Dil Deewana Ho Gaya to Release on July 31; Producer Ishpaul Singh Chawla Introduces Three New Faces</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/dil-deewana-ho-gaya-to-release-on-july-31-producer-ishpaul-singh-chawla-introduces-three-new-faces</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/dil-deewana-ho-gaya-to-release-on-july-31-producer-ishpaul-singh-chawla-introduces-three-new-faces</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A romantic family drama centred on love, emotions and
family relationships, &quot;Dil Deewana Ho Gaya&quot; is all set for a
nationwide theatrical release on July 31. Produced by Ishpaul Singh Chawla
under the Grandway Productions banner, the film reflects the producer&#039;s
decision to introduce three fresh faces in his debut Hindi production.
Positioned as a clean family entertainer, the film is designed to be enjoyed by
audiences of all age groups.

Producer Ishpaul Singh Chawla says he has always looked
at films from the perspective of an ordinary moviegoer, and &quot;Dil Deewana
Ho Gaya&quot; has been made with the same approach. According to him, the real
strength of a film lies not in big stars but in a compelling story, melodious
music and good performances. That philosophy led him to cast actors who best
suited their characters. Chawla expressed complete faith in debut feature film
director Rajiv Shamlal Soni, saying the filmmaker gave 100 percent to the
project. He also praised music composer Vishnu Narayan, stating that the film&#039;s
five songs have turned out exceptionally well and are likely to stay with
audiences. Chawla further appreciated the supporting cast, saying every actor
has done complete justice to their role and that the entire team worked with
total dedication and sincerity.

The film&#039;s promo and music were recently launched in
Mumbai, where members of the media and invited guests were given their first
glimpse of the project. The promo and songs received an enthusiastic response
from both the media and the audience at the very first screening, generating
excitement ahead of the film&#039;s release.



The film is directed by Rajiv Shamlal Soni. While
&quot;Dil Deewana Ho Gaya&quot; marks his feature film directorial debut, he
has previously directed several successful television serials for leading
entertainment channels. The film has been shot across the picturesque locations
of Mumbai and Manali.

Another highlight of the project is the launch of three
new actors. Popular television actress Kajal Chauhan makes her Bollywood debut
with the film, while Bhanuj Sood and Shubhkaran Bhopal also make their first
appearance in a Hindi feature film.

Kajal Chauhan said that stepping into films after years
of working in television is a dream come true. She thanked producer Ishpaul
Singh Chawla for believing in a newcomer and giving her the opportunity. She
also added that every member of the cast gave their 100 percent, and that
dedication will be visible on screen.

Bhanuj Sood, who has previously appeared in several
major advertising campaigns, said that &quot;Dil Deewana Ho Gaya&quot; is his
first feature film. Thanking the producer, he said receiving such an
opportunity as a newcomer is very special and that the entire team worked with
complete honesty and commitment throughout the project.

Manali-based actor Shubhkaran Bhopal revealed that he
immediately accepted the film after director Rajiv Shamlal Soni narrated the
story and informed him that the shooting would take place in Manali and Mumbai.
He said it became an unforgettable experience because his family was able to
visit the sets in his hometown and watch him perform. Shubhkaran also credited
the entire cast and technical crew for working with complete dedication.

The film also features Mushtaq Khan, Aroon Bakshi, Raju
Kher, Brij Gopal, Mehul Buch, Garima Agrawal, Anjali Gupta and Diveyaa Dwivedi
in important roles.

According to the producer, &quot;Dil Deewana Ho
Gaya&quot; is a wholesome family entertainer that can be enjoyed together by
mothers and sons, fathers and daughters, grandparents with their grandchildren,
and even groups of friends.

The film will be released across India by JB Pictures, headed
by Karan Bhatia. With its fresh cast, engaging story, melodious music,
beautiful locations and family-oriented entertainment, &quot;Dil Deewana Ho
Gaya&quot; is set to arrive in cinemas across the country on July 31. ]]></description>

<title>Sylvi End of Season Sale 2026: Up to 20% Off Men&amp;apos;s, Women&amp;apos;s and Couple Watches, 16–17 July</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/sylvi-end-of-season-sale-2026-up-to-20-off-mens-womens-and-couple-watches-1617-july</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sylvi-end-of-season-sale-2026-up-to-20-off-mens-womens-and-couple-watches-1617-july</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

There is a specific kind of watch you have
been circling for weeks. You have opened the product page more than once. You
have shown a friend the photo and asked, &quot;What do you think?&quot; You
haven&#039;t bought it yet, because the price felt like it deserved one more
thought.

For two days — Thursday, 16 July, and Friday,
17 July, 2026 — that thought gets a little easier.

The Sylvi End of Season Sale 2026
brings men&#039;s watches, women&#039;s watches, and matching couple
watches up to 20% off on selected collections. Not everything, and
not the same percentage across the board, but a genuine season sale on the
collections people have actually been wearing. This year&#039;s edition is wrapped
in a theme that fits the mood perfectly: Alarm Mode — dark backgrounds,
signal-yellow highlights, a ticking countdown. It feels less like a typical
sale banner and more like a wake-up call, which is exactly what an
end-of-season sale should feel like.

What
Is the Sylvi End of Season Sale 2026?

The Sylvi End of Season Sale 2026 is a
two-day watch sale, running 16 to 17 July 2026, offering up to 20% off on
selected men&#039;s and women&#039;s watch collections, including ten curated couple
watches. It&#039;s Sylvi&#039;s official season sale event, timed for the monsoon
season sale window — the point in the year when a lot of India resets its
wardrobe.

If you&#039;ve been searching for an watches end
of season sale in India, this is the one worth bookmarking.

Why
Shop This Season Sale

A season sale is only worth your time if
what&#039;s discounted is worth owning in the first place. Every watch in Sylvi&#039;s
range — whether analog, automatic, or analog-digital — goes through quality
checks before it ships, sale or no sale. The discount changes the price. It
does not change the standard.

Discounts in this sale are not uniform across
the catalogue. Some collections are included at a smaller percentage, others at
the full 20% off, so it&#039;s worth checking the specific collection you want
against the list below rather than assuming one number applies everywhere.

Watches
for Men and Women — What&#039;s Actually on Sale

The Sylvi End of Season Sale 2026
includes 21 selected collections in total — 14 for men, 7 for women.

Men&#039;s collections on sale:
Iconic, Pulse Skeleton, Frist, Core X, Imperial, Opus, Urbane-Moon, Elegare,
Blade, Specter, Blade DualTime, TimeShift, Starboard, and Professional Edge.

Women&#039;s collections on sale:
Velvetine, Bella, Dazell, Timeora, Serene, Ellore, and Riva.

That&#039;s 21 collections, each carrying its own
discount up to 20% off. Check the product page of any collection above for its
exact sale price during the two-day window.

Couple
Watches: This Season&#039;s Real Highlight

Some gifts are forgotten. A matching pair on
two wrists is not.

This sale includes ten curated couple-watch
pairings — a men&#039;s and women&#039;s watch styled to sit together, whether that&#039;s
a shared steel finish, a rose gold echo, or a deep black-on-black pairing. Each
watch in a pairing is drawn from a collection already included in this sale, so
both pieces carry a sale price — not a smaller &quot;combo-only&quot; saving
stacked on top.

Is the Sylvi End of Season Sale in India?

The sale runs for exactly two days: Thursday,
16 July 2026, and Friday, 17 July 2026 — a short, fixed window on a specific,
named list of collections, rather than a vague &quot;sale ends soon&quot;
banner that quietly extends itself. Sale pricing on the included collections is
only valid for these two days.

What
Comes With Every Sylvi Watch

Every Sylvi watch — sale or full price — is
designed and quality-checked in India, out of Surat. Two things sit behind
that: the Prototype Program, where customers help shape upcoming designs
before they launch, and Certified Imperfect, where watches with minor
cosmetic flaws are sold openly at a lower price instead of quietly set aside.

On warranty: every Sylvi watch carries a
one-year warranty in total, made up of a six-month manufacturing warranty from
the date of purchase and an additional six-month extended warranty on free
registration, subject to applicable terms and conditions. That coverage applies
the same way during this sale as it does at full price — a discount on the
price tag, not on what&#039;s backing the watch.

The
Story Behind Sylvi Watches

Sylvi Watches was founded in Surat, Gujarat,
in 2015 by Krushna Ghevariya and Ishan Kukadia — two founders who built the
company without external funding, growing it the slow, deliberate way:
bootstrapped, profitable, and reinvested back into the product. The brand
introduced its first in-house collection in 2016, and has continued expanding
its Made-in-India watch portfolio since, including analog-digital innovations
highlighted in 2020.

A
Quick Word on Buying During This Sale

It&#039;s easy to get caught up in a countdown and
buy the first thing that catches your eye, so here&#039;s a simple way to shop this
one well. Start with intent — are you buying for yourself, gifting, or
replacing a watch that&#039;s finally given up? That alone narrows 21 collections
down to two or three worth actually browsing.

Check the details that matter beyond the dial
too — strap material, water resistance, and case size — since a discount is
only a good deal if the watch fits how you actually live. And if you&#039;re
shopping the couple-watch pairings for two people, it&#039;s worth checking both
watches individually rather than assuming &quot;matching&quot; means identical
fit for both wrists.

Timed
for the Season, Not Just the Calendar

There&#039;s a reason this sale lands in mid-July
rather than at some arbitrary point in the year. The monsoon stretch is when a
lot of India naturally resets its wardrobe — swapping out what&#039;s been worn all
summer for something that&#039;ll carry through the next few months. Watches don&#039;t
usually top that list the way clothes or footwear do, but they&#039;re exactly the
kind of purchase that benefits from a nudge like this one. A well-timed
discount on a collection you&#039;d have bought anyway, at full price, eventually,
is a better deal than most flash sales that show up unannounced and disappear
just as fast.

That&#039;s also part of why the window here is
only two days. A shorter sale forces a decision instead of an indefinite
&quot;I&#039;ll get to it.&quot; If there&#039;s a men&#039;s collection, a women&#039;s
collection, or a couple pairing you&#039;ve been meaning to check out, mid-July is
the moment Sylvi has built specifically for that.

Final
Word

Sylvi Watches&#039; End of Season Sale 2026 is
trying to be the most useful sale you&#039;ll see this month, for the two days it
runs. Whether you&#039;re after a men&#039;s collection, a women&#039;s collection, or one of
the ten curated couple pairings, it&#039;s structured to get you there quickly
instead of making you dig for it.

16 to 17 July 2026. Two days, 21 collections,
up to 20% off. This one&#039;s worth marking on the calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the Sylvi End of Season Sale 2026? The
sale runs for two days — Thursday, 16 July, and Friday, 17 July, 2026. Sale
pricing on included collections applies only during this window.

How much discount is on men&#039;s watches?
Fourteen men&#039;s collections are included, with discounts up to 20% off — the
exact percentage varies by collection, so check the product page for the
specific style you want.

How much discount is on women&#039;s watches?
Seven women&#039;s collections, including Velvetine, Serene, and Ellore, are
included with discounts up to 20% off on selected styles.

Are couple watches included in the sale?
Yes. All ten couple-watch pairings are built from collections included in this
sale, so both pieces in each pairing carry sale pricing.

Is this a clearance sale or a planned Sylvi
sale? This is Sylvi&#039;s official End of Season Sale — a dated, two-day event
across a defined list of collections.

What warranty comes with a Sylvi watch bought
on sale? Every Sylvi watch carries a one-year warranty in total — a six-month
manufacturing warranty plus a six-month extension on free registration — the
same coverage as a full-price purchase.

Can I buy a couple watch as a gift? Yes
— it&#039;s one of the most common uses for this edit. Choose a pairing from the ten
above, and each watch is ready to give, not just ready to wear.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
July 2026: Following the remarkable success of Ishqan
De Lekhe, one of the only sleeper hits of the year, Panorama Studios has
significantly expanded its Punjabi film slate by acquiring the worldwide
theatrical distribution rights for three big Punjabi films slated for release
in 2026 — Argentina, Thaapi and Ranjheya.

The
acquisitions include three highly anticipated Punjabi films featuring some of
the industry&#039;s most celebrated stars—Argentina, starring Ammy Virk
and Sargun Mehta; Thaapi, starring Neeru Bajwa and Sunny Singh; and Ranjheya,
featuring Harrdy Sandhu and Simrat Kaur. Together, these films represent a
diverse and exciting slate that underscores Panorama Studios&#039; commitment to
backing strong content and marquee talent in Punjabi cinema.

Since
joining Panorama Studios earlier this year, Anshu Kapoor has been
spearheading the company&#039;s efforts to deepen its presence in Punjab and expand
its regional cinema portfolio. Under this strategic vision, Panorama Studios is
actively building a robust Punjabi slate encompassing diverse stories, marquee
talent and wide audience appeal.

In
addition to these newly acquired titles, Panorama Studios&#039; upcoming Punjabi
releases include Kankaan De Ole, scheduled to release on 31st July and 70
Syaal, an emotional horror-folklore film based in Punjab, which is slated
for release in the coming months.

Kumar
Mangat Pathak, Chairman, Panorama Studios, said, &quot;Punjabi
cinema today enjoys a strong cultural connect not only within India but also
across international markets where Punjabi-speaking audiences are significant.
At Panorama Studios, we have always believed in the power of regional
storytelling, and the success of Ishqan De Lekhe has further strengthened our
conviction. With Argentina, Thaapi and Ranjheya, we are partnering with films
that combine compelling narratives with some of the most loved stars of Punjabi
cinema. We remain committed to supporting quality content and expanding the
reach of Punjabi films to audiences worldwide.&quot;

Murlidhar
Chhatwani, CEO – Distribution &amp; Syndication, Panorama Studios,
said: &quot;These acquisitions of Argentina, Thaapi and Ranjheya are an
important step in our strategy to build a strong and consistent Punjabi film
slate. We see tremendous growth potential in the market, both domestically and
internationally. Our focus is on identifying films with strong theatrical
appeal and ensuring they receive the scale of release and marketing support
they deserve. With an exciting mix of established talent, engaging stories and
upcoming releases, we are confident that our Punjabi slate will continue to
create value for audiences, filmmakers, exhibition partners and all
stakeholders across the content ecosystem.&quot;

“Alongside
the strength of Punjabi theatrical rights, the digital market is also
witnessing remarkable growth, with regional OTT platforms creating new
economics for digital rights. At the same time, Punjabi music has evolved into
a global phenomenon, significantly enhancing the value of audio rights and
opening up additional revenue opportunities for content owners.” Adds
Murlidhar.

Anshu
Kapoor, Head - Punjabi Production &amp; Acquisition, Panorama Studios, said, &quot;Punjabi
cinema is going through a rediscovery phase, with audiences seeking fresh
stories to explore new genres. Since joining Panorama Studios, my focus has
been on building meaningful relationships with producers, filmmakers and talent
across the industry and creating a strong pipeline of films that can travel
beyond traditional markets. Argentina, Thaapi and Ranjheya are excellent
examples of the scale, diversity and quality we want to champion. Along with
Kankaan De Ole and 70 Syaal, these films reflect our long-term commitment to
strengthening Panorama&#039;s presence in Punjab and taking Punjabi cinema to newer
audiences across the globe.&quot;

With
a carefully curated slate and a long-term vision for regional cinema, Panorama
Studios continues to invest in compelling stories and strong creative
partnerships, further cementing its commitment to bringing quality Punjabi
content to audiences across India and worldwide. ]]></description>

<title>Liebherr Appliances India Marks One Year of Fully Integrated Refrigeration in India, Reinforces Vision for the Future of Luxury Kitchens</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/liebherr-appliances-india-marks-one-year-of-fully-integrated-refrigeration-in-india-reinforces-vision-for-the-future-of-luxury-kitchens</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/liebherr-appliances-india-marks-one-year-of-fully-integrated-refrigeration-in-india-reinforces-vision-for-the-future-of-luxury-kitchens</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
July 13, 2026: One year after introducing its Fully
Integrated Refrigeration range in India, Liebherr Appliances India, the
subsidiary of the globally renowned €14.6 billion Liebherr Group, convened its
All India Fully Integrated Partners on 25 June 2026 to celebrate a significant
milestone in its journey of shaping India&#039;s premium kitchen landscape. The
gathering reflected on the progress made in establishing the built-in
refrigeration segment while outlining the company&#039;s long-term vision for
accelerating the adoption of integrated luxury kitchen solutions across the
country.

The
event brought together architects, kitchen specialists, channel partners and
the company&#039;s leadership, including Mr. Steffen Nagel, Managing Director –
Sales &amp; Marketing, Appliance Division; Mr. Roman Schaefer, Head of Business
Area India, Appliance Division; Ms. Stéfanie Wohlfarth, Vice President, Administrative
Board; and Mr. Kapil Agarwal, Managing Director – Sales, Liebherr Appliances
India. The discussions centred on strengthening collaborations that are
redefining how premium refrigeration integrates into India&#039;s evolving luxury
homes.

Mr.
Steffen Nagel, Managing Director – Sales &amp; Marketing, Appliance Division,
Liebherr, said, &quot;India is emerging as one of the most
exciting luxury markets globally. As kitchens continue to evolve into the heart
of modern homes, Fully Integrated refrigeration is becoming an essential
element of contemporary kitchen design. We are proud of the progress achieved
over the past year and remain committed to supporting this category through
continuous innovation, strong partnerships and German engineering
excellence.&quot;

Mr.
Kapil Agarwal, Managing Director – Sales, Liebherr Appliances India, added, &quot;The
past year has been an important milestone for Liebherr Appliances India as we
introduced and nurtured the Fully Integrated refrigeration segment in the
country. Our partners have played a pivotal role in educating consumers and
bringing world-class kitchen solutions closer to Indian homes. Together, we
remain committed to shaping the future of luxury kitchens through innovation,
design and seamless integration.&quot;

Over
the past year, Liebherr Appliances India has worked closely with architects,
interior designers, kitchen studios and channel partners to build awareness
around Fully Integrated refrigeration and demonstrate how it complements
contemporary living. As premium housing, bespoke interiors and modular kitchens
continue to gain momentum, the company sees increasing demand for appliances
that seamlessly integrate with architecture while delivering uncompromising
performance.

Unlike
conventional refrigeration, Fully Integrated solutions are designed to
disappear into cabinetry, creating clean, uninterrupted kitchen aesthetics
without compromising on storage or functionality. At the partner meet, Liebherr
addressed some of the most common misconceptions surrounding integrated
refrigeration, highlighting how intelligent interior layouts maximise usable
storage space while enhancing design flexibility for modern homes.

A
key highlight of the event was Liebherr Appliances India&#039;s portfolio of nine
Fully Integrated refrigerator models—one of the most comprehensive offerings
available in the Indian market. The range is manufactured at the company&#039;s
state-of-the-art facility in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (Aurangabad), built to
global Liebherr standards and combining German engineering with local manufacturing
excellence to deliver premium refrigeration solutions tailored for Indian
consumers.

The
showcase also highlighted the advanced technologies that distinguish Liebherr&#039;s
integrated refrigeration portfolio. At its core is BioFresh, which maintains

<description><![CDATA[ July
13, 2026 - Bengaluru, India: Puravankara Limited (NSE: PURVA | BSE:
532891), one of India’s most trusted and admired real estate developers,
reported pre-sales of ₹1,439 crore in Q1FY27, marking a 28% YoY growth.
Collections rose 40% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹1,199 crore, reflecting sustained
customer confidence and strong execution of delivery timelines. Sales area for
the quarter stood at 1.36 million square feet (msft), a 9% increase over the
same period last year, while average price realisation improved 18% YoY to
₹10,589 per sq ft.  During the quarter,
Puravankara handed over 0.94 msft, delivering 745 homes.

Further,
the company entered into a definitive agreement with ICICI Prudential AMC for
the sale of its commercial property, Purva Zentech. The transaction values the
asset at an enterprise value of ₹625.94 crore. Of the total consideration, ₹145
crore will be received through the sale of shares of the SPV, while the balance
will be realised through agreed balance sheet adjustments in accordance with
the transaction structure.

Commenting
on the company&#039;s performance, Ashish Puravankara, Managing Director,
Puravankara Ltd., said, “Q1 FY27 marks a strong start to the year and
reaffirms the resilience and depth of our business strategy. Sales value grew,
and we saw a corresponding improvement in collections. The 18% YoY increase in
average price realisation is a clear indication that our strategic shift
towards premiumisation and well-located, high-quality developments is
translating into tangible value for both our customers and shareholders.

We
also remained active on the business development front, announcing four land
transactions during the quarter with a cumulative Gross Development Value (GDV)
of ₹5,200 crore. These additions strengthen our project pipeline and support
our objective of sustaining long-term, profitable growth. 

With
this strong start to the year, we remain firmly on track to achieve our FY
2026–27 sales guidance of ₹11,200 crore across the Southern and Western
regions, and we are confident of building on this momentum through the
remainder of the year.&quot;

Business
Development for Q1 FY27

In
Q1 FY27, Puravankara announced four land transactions spanning approximately
41.93 acres, with a cumulative development potential of around 4.23 msft and a
total estimated GDV of ₹5,200 crore. 

Sarjapura,
Bengaluru: Entered into a joint development agreement
for a 6.4-acre land parcel with a potential GDV of over ₹1,000 crore and
saleable area of 0.8 msft.

Doddagubbi,
North Bengaluru: Entered into a joint development agreement
for an 11.23-acre land parcel with a potential GDV of over ₹1,100 crore and
saleable area of 0.74 msft.

Sanna
Ammanikere, North Bengaluru: Acquired a 9.73-acre land parcel in the
fast-developing airport corridor, with a GDV potential of approximately ₹800
crore, with a saleable area of 0.89 msft.

Mandur,
Bengaluru: Secured a 14.57-acre land parcel with a GDV
of ₹2,300 crore, offering 1.8 msft of development potential.

Outlook

India&#039;s
real estate sector continues to show resilience even as the broader economy navigates
a more cautious growth environment. The Reserve Bank of India&#039;s June 2026
policy review held the repo rate steady at 5.25%, while moderating its FY27 GDP
growth forecast to 6.6% amid elevated inflation projections of 5.1%. A stable
rate environment, combined with steady office leasing demand from IT, BFSI, and
GCC occupiers, continues to support healthy residential absorption in the
premium segment.

With
a robust launch pipeline, disciplined balance sheet management, and increasing
average price realisation reflected in Q1FY27, Puravankara remains confident of
sustaining its growth trajectory and delivering on its FY27 guidance. ]]></description>

<title>Kubera Temple in Kanchipuram &#45; Om Sri Raja Kuberar Siddhar Peedam</title>

<description><![CDATA[  







Chennai
, 13th July 2026 : Kanchipuram has long been celebrated as one of India&#039;s
most sacred temple cities, drawing pilgrims who seek blessings, peace, and
spiritual wisdom. Today, this ancient city is home to another significant place
of worship with the establishment of Om Sri Raja Kuberar Siddhar Peedam, the
first temple in Kanchipuram dedicated to Sri Raja Kuberar. Located at
Kuberapattinam on the Chennai Bengaluru National Highway near Vellagate, the
temple has become a destination for devotees from across Tamil Nadu and beyond.

The
temple is known for the divine presence of Sivasaga Om Sri Raja Kuberar, a rare
form that represents the union of Lord Shiva&#039;s grace and Lord Kubera&#039;s
blessings. At the sanctum, devotees worship Lord Vaithyanatha Swami along with
Sri Raja Kuberar, seeking good health, prosperity, happiness, and spiritual
growth. This rare combination makes the temple unlike any other Kubera shrine
in the region.

The
origin of the temple is deeply rooted in a sacred vision experienced by Raja
Kubera Siddhar. During one of his regular Pournami Girivalam pilgrimages around
the holy Arunachala Hill, he received divine guidance from a Siddhar at
Kuberalingam to establish a temple for Sri Raja Kuberar. The same message
appeared repeatedly in his dreams, leading him first to establish a small
shrine in Chennai before the divine path led him to Vellagate near Kanchipuram.
In 2019, the sacred land was consecrated, and the temple was established. The
surrounding area later came to be known as Kuberapattinam.

One
of the most distinctive features of the temple is the Navanidhi Steps. These
nine sacred steps represent the nine treasures associated with Lord Kubera
while symbolising the spiritual journey of every devotee. As visitors ascend
each step, they are reminded of the values of faith, wisdom, prosperity, and
inner growth before reaching the sanctum where they receive the blessings of
Lord Vaithyanatha Swami and Sri Raja Kuberar.

The
temple also houses several rare shrines that add to its spiritual significance.
Sri Ucchishta Ganapathy is worshipped for wisdom and the removal of obstacles.
Sri Selva Murugar is revered as the giver of prosperity, courage, and success.
Sri Triyambikai Nathar represents the divine union of Shiva and Shakti, Brahma
and Saraswathi, and Mahavishnu and Mahalakshmi, symbolising harmony in
creation. The sacred presence of Sage Agathiyar and the eighteen Siddhars
brings another unique dimension to the temple, making it a place where devotees
seek healing, meditation, and spiritual wisdom.

Today,
Om Sri Raja Kuberar Siddhar Peedam stands as a significant spiritual landmark
in Kanchipuram. Every visit offers an opportunity to experience devotion,
peace, and divine blessings in one sacred space. As the first Kubera temple in
Kanchipuram, it has become a place where faith and spirituality come together,
welcoming everyone who 

seeks
health, prosperity, and a deeper connection with the Divine.

<title>Orca Security Report: 99.9% of Fixable AI Vulnerabilities Remain Unpatched as AI Moves</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/orca-security-report-999-of-fixable-ai-vulnerabilities-remain-unpatched-as-ai-moves</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/orca-security-report-999-of-fixable-ai-vulnerabilities-remain-unpatched-as-ai-moves</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

PORTLAND,
Ore. – [July 13, 2026] : Orca Security, a leader in cloud and AI
security, today released its 2026 State of AI Security Report,
offering a first-hand view into how AI is being deployed across more than 1,200
production cloud environments. The findings show AI is no longer limited to
isolated pilots or developer experiments. Organizations are embedding AI into
production applications, cloud services, and autonomous workflows faster than
security programs can adapt.

More
than half (56%) of organizations have already deployed AI agents into
production, while 51% use AI to build custom applications. At the same time,
Orca found that 81% of organizations run vulnerable AI packages, and 99.9% of
fixable AI vulnerabilities remain unpatched, highlighting how quickly AI has
become operational infrastructure without corresponding security maturity.

The
report also reveals that AI environments are rapidly becoming more
interconnected and business critical. Among organizations adopting AI, 64% now
run vector databases, 55% operate four or more AI services simultaneously, and
between 87% and 98% of AI workloads across the three major cloud providers lack
customer-managed encryption. Together, these findings show that organizations
are no longer securing standalone AI tools. They are securing complex AI
ecosystems connected to enterprise data, cloud services, identities, and
production workflows.

&quot;What
surprised us wasn&#039;t simply how fast AI adoption has grown. It was how deeply AI
is now woven into production cloud environments,&quot; said Gil Geron, CEO and
Co-Founder of Orca Security. &quot;We aren&#039;t just seeing isolated models. We&#039;re
seeing AI agents connected to enterprise data, interacting with identities, calling
cloud services, and becoming part of business-critical workflows. AI is no
longer an experiment. It&#039;s production infrastructure. The number of builders
has increased exponentially and organizations need security that provides
complete visibility and the confidence to innovate at AI speed without
introducing unnecessary risk.&quot;

AI
Has Become Production Infrastructure Before Security Was Ready

The
report finds AI has evolved beyond standalone models into an interconnected
production ecosystem spanning cloud services, AI agents, vector databases,
development tools, and autonomous workflows. While this transformation enables
organizations to innovate faster, it also expands the attack surface in ways
traditional security programs were never designed to address.

Among
the report&#039;s key findings:

●       
81% of organizations using AI packages have at
least one known vulnerability, up from 62% in Orca&#039;s 2024 report.

●       
50% of AI package vulnerabilities now have a
publicly available exploit, a 250-fold increase over 2024.

●       
99.9% of AI vulnerabilities with an available
fix remain unpatched.

&quot;AI
has introduced an entirely new operational layer into cloud environments,&quot;
said Nir Mashal, Chief Information Security Officer at Orca Security.
&quot;Organizations now have agents making decisions, vector databases
connected to enterprise data, and AI services spread across multiple cloud
providers. Security teams need unified visibility across that entire
environment, paired with automated prevention, to understand where risk
actually exists and stop attackers before damage is done.&quot;

Progress
Is Measurable When Organizations Treat AI Like Production Infrastructure

Despite
persistent gaps, the research also highlights meaningful progress where
organizations have focused security investments. Since Orca&#039;s previous AI
report, the percentage of Amazon SageMaker environments running with root
access has declined from 98% to 76%, while insecure IMDSv2 configurations
dropped from 77% to 48%. These improvements demonstrate that applying
production-grade operational discipline to AI environments produces measurable
security gains.

The
report recommends organizations treat AI as production infrastructure by
extending existing security practices across the AI lifecycle, including
vulnerability management, credential protection, least-privilege access,
encryption, AI-specific monitoring, and governance. The urgency is increasing as
new regulations take effect, including the EU AI Act&#039;s high-risk obligations
beginning August 2, 2026, and Colorado&#039;s amended AI law taking effect January
1, 2027.

“The
organizations making the most progress are treating AI like every other
critical production system,&quot; added Geron. &quot;That means applying
consistent visibility, governance, least-privilege access, and remediation
across the entire AI lifecycle. Security can&#039;t be something you add after
deployment. It has to be built into how teams develop and scale AI.”

The
2026 State of AI Security Report analyzes aggregated, anonymized telemetry from
more than 1,200 production organizations collected during Q2 2026. The research
examines AI cloud services, AI package vulnerabilities, identities and secrets,
AI agents, vector databases, encryption, and governance across AWS, Microsoft
Azure, and Google Cloud. The full report is available at: https://orca.security/lp/2026-state-of-ai-security-report/.

<description><![CDATA[  

Los Angeles / Kathmandu — July 13, 2026 : Following an
acclaimed international festival run, the award-winning Nepali drama Shakti is
now streaming free worldwide on Plex and Fawesome, with availability on Tubi in
the United States and Canada. The release marks the film&#039;s widest global
rollout to date, making it accessible to audiences around the world.

Directed by Kathmandu-born, Los Angeles-based filmmaker and
Academy Award winner Nani Sahra Walker, Shakti is her narrative feature debut.
The film follows Durga, a single mother whose search for answers after her
daughter begins exhibiting troubling behavior draws her into Kathmandu&#039;s worlds
of spirituality, caste, and justice. Inspired in part by Nepal&#039;s former 35-day
statute of limitations for sexual violence cases, the film explores resilience,
healing, and accountability through the lens of a mother-daughter relationship.

Since its world premiere, Shakti has received international
recognition, winning the Best Narrative Premiere Award and Richard D. Propes
Narrative Social Impact Award at the Heartland International Film Festival, as
well as the Best Nepali Panorama Award at the Nepal America International Film
Festival. The film also screened at the Santa Barbara International Film
Festival, CAAMFest, the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) Goa, the
Hawai&#039;i International Film Festival, the Female Eye Film Festival, and the
Tasveer Film Festival. Most recently, Walker was named Best New Filmmaker at
the 2026 Best of NewFilmmakers Los Angeles Awards.

&quot;Shakti is an invitation to start conversations about
justice, resilience, and healing. Every festival screening reminded us that
stories rooted in one place can resonate far beyond borders. Making the film
available to watch for free around the world allows those conversations to
continue.&quot;

Distributed by Buffalo 8, Shakti is now streaming free on
Plex and Fawesome worldwide and on Tubi in the United States and Canada. The
film is also available to rent or purchase on Amazon Prime Video in the United
States and United Kingdom.

Developed with support from organizations including ARRI
International Support Program and the Gerbode Foundation&#039;s Advancing Truth
initiative, Shakti is a Nepal-U.S. co-production that examines the intersection
of caste discrimination, gender-based violence, and institutional injustice
while celebrating the resilience of women who challenge those systems.

Shakti is written, directed, produced, and edited by Nani
Sahra Walker. The film stars Laxmi Bardewa, Menuka Pradhan, Shristi Shrestha,
Maotse Gurung, Akash Nepali, Prakash Ghimire, and introducing Polina Oli. ]]></description>

<title>Best Akashic Records Reading in Gurgaon Now Available with Psychic Medium Daksh</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/best-akashic-records-reading-in-gurgaon-now-available-with-psychic-medium-daksh</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/best-akashic-records-reading-in-gurgaon-now-available-with-psychic-medium-daksh</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

NEW DELHI, July 2026 : Psychic Medium Daksh, a Delhi
NCR-based Akashic Records reader and evidential spirit medium, is seeing a
growing share of clients from Gurgaon booking Akashic Records sessions for
career, relationship, and spiritual concerns, according to his practice.

The Akashic Records reading, offered without requiring prior
background information from the client, is structured around four focus areas:
love and relationships, career and finance, spiritual growth, and energetic
clearance. Gurgaon-based clients, many working in corporate and consulting
roles, have gravitated toward the career and finance track in particular, Daksh
said.

Daksh has practiced as an evidential spirit medium and Akashic Records reader
for more than 10+ years, working with clients in person from his Delhi base and
remotely for those unable to travel, including a growing number from Gurgaon&#039;s
business community.

According to Daksh, Gurgaon clients often book sessions
around specific career inflection points, such as a pending job change or a
business decision under time pressure, rather than as a general check-in. He
has said this has shaped how he schedules sessions for clients from the area,
with some requesting appointments on short notice ahead of a decision deadline.

Daksh has said the remote format has been particularly
relevant for Gurgaon clients balancing demanding work schedules, allowing a
session to take place without requiring travel into Delhi. He has said the
content and structure of the reading remain the same whether conducted in
person or remotely.

Beyond Akashic Records work,
Daksh&#039;s practice includes mediumship, psychic readings, and the combined Life
Soul Path session. He has said a portion of Gurgaon clients who first book an
Akashic Records reading for career concerns later return for a mediumship or
psychic reading addressing a separate matter.

Daksh has said Gurgaon&#039;s concentration of corporate offices
and consulting firms has meant a steady stream of clients weighing decisions
tied to promotions, relocations, or business ownership, and he has said these
sessions sometimes involve more than one professional decision under
consideration at the same time. According to Daksh, he does not adjust his fee
structure or session length based on a client&#039;s industry or seniority, and the
format for a Gurgaon-based executive is the same as for any other client
booking the career and finance track.

Daksh has said Gurgaon clients occasionally ask whether the
career and finance reading can be booked jointly with a business partner or
co-founder facing a shared decision, and he has said each session is still
conducted individually, with the client free to share relevant portions of the
reading with a partner afterward at their own discretion. According to Daksh,
this has not changed how the session itself is structured.

Daksh has said the corporate and consulting backgrounds common
among his Gurgaon clients sometimes lead to more direct, specific questions
during the session compared with clients from other parts of the region, a
difference he has said he has adjusted to over time rather than treating as
unusual.

“A lot of the Gurgaon clients I see are mid-career, weighing
a decision they can&#039;t quite explain to their colleagues,” Daksh said. “The
reading gives them language for it.”

“People coming from a corporate background tend to ask
sharper, more specific questions,” Daksh said. “I don&#039;t mind that. It usually
makes the session more focused.”

About Psychic Medium Daksh: Daksh
Kakkar, known professionally as Psychic Medium Daksh, is a Delhi-based
evidential spirit medium and Akashic Records reader with over ten years of
practice. He is a two-time TEDx speaker and has been featured in Times of India
and Pinkvilla, among other publications. He can be reached through

<title>RK Ecran Emerges as South India’s One&#45;Stop Destination for Complete Mosquito Protection Solutions with 1,00,000+ Installations</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/rk-ecran-emerges-as-south-indias-one-stop-destination-for-complete-mosquito-protection-solutions-with-100000-installations</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/rk-ecran-emerges-as-south-indias-one-stop-destination-for-complete-mosquito-protection-solutions-with-100000-installations</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Mosquitoes are more than just a seasonal nuisance. They
disrupt sleep, affect comfort, and can pose serious health risks to families.
Whether you need mosquito nets for doors and windows in a single bedroom, a large balcony opening, a villa, an
apartment complex, a commercial building, or an institutional project, finding
the right mosquito protection solution often becomes a challenge.

Homeowners frequently struggle to identify the right
product, coordinate installations, and ensure long-term reliability.

This is where RK Ecran stands apart.

For over 20 years, RK Ecran has been helping customers
create healthier, safer, and more comfortable living spaces through
high-quality mosquito protection systems. With over 1,00,000 successful
installations and a reputation built on quality, innovation, and service, RK
Ecran has become one of the most trusted names in mosquito protection
solutions.

What truly sets RK Ecran apart is its ability to provide
complete, end-to-end solutions for every mosquito-related problem. No matter
the size of the project, the complexity of the space, or the type of opening
that needs protection, RK Ecran has a solution designed to fit.

One Brand, Multiple Solutions

Every home and building has unique requirements. A standard
mosquito net may work for one window but may not be suitable for a balcony,
ventilator, or large sliding door.

RK Ecran understands these differences and offers a wide
range of mosquito protection systems to address every need.

Customers can choose from:

●     
Swing Net Systems

●     
Sliding Net Systems

●     
Pleated Mosquito Screens

●     
Barrier-Free Pleated Solutions

●     
Ventilator Mosquito Nets

●     
Window and Door Mosquito Protection
Systems

This
extensive product portfolio ensures that customers do not have to compromise.
Whether the requirement is for a compact kitchen window or a large balcony
entrance requiring balcony
mosquito nets, RK Ecran offers a tailored
solution that delivers effective protection while maintaining the aesthetics of
the space. 

The result is simple: complete mosquito protection
throughout the property without sacrificing ventilation, visibility, or
convenience.

Solving Every Mosquito Problem Under One Roof

Many customers begin their search for mosquito protection
only to realise that different suppliers offer different products. One vendor
may specialise in windows, another may provide balcony solutions, while someone
else may handle installation.

This fragmented approach often leads to delays, coordination
challenges, inconsistent quality, and additional costs.

RK Ecran eliminates these problems by serving as a complete
solutions provider.

Instead of dealing with multiple vendors, customers can rely
on a single trusted company for consultation, product selection, manufacturing,
installation, and after-sales support.

From the first site visit to the final installation, every
stage is handled by RK Ecran&#039;s experienced team. This streamlined approach not
only saves time but also ensures consistency in quality and service.

For homeowners, architects, builders, and project managers,
this means greater convenience and complete peace of mind.

Turnkey Installation – No Third Parties Needed

One of the biggest advantages of choosing RK Ecran is its
turnkey installation model.

In many projects, customers often find themselves
coordinating between different contractors, fabricators, technicians, and
suppliers. Managing multiple stakeholders can be stressful and time-consuming.

RK Ecran removes this burden entirely.

Customers do not need to hire separate architects for
mosquito protection planning. They do not need to source external workers or
coordinate installation teams. They do not need to supervise different vendors
or worry about project execution.

RK Ecran manages the entire process from start to finish.

The company&#039;s trained professionals assess the site,
recommend suitable products, take accurate measurements, manufacture the
required systems, and complete the installation with precision.

This integrated approach ensures:

●     
Faster project completion

●     
Consistent quality standards

●     
Professional workmanship

●     
Reduced coordination effort

●     
Better customer experience

For
customers, it is a simple and hassle-free process. One company. One point of
contact. One complete solution.

Proven Capability for Large-Scale Projects

While many mosquito net suppliers focus only on small
residential installations, RK Ecran has built the infrastructure and expertise
required to execute projects of every scale.

The company has successfully delivered solutions for
residential developments, villas, apartments, commercial buildings, educational
institutions, healthcare facilities, hospitality projects, and industrial
establishments.

Its strong manufacturing capabilities, skilled workforce,
and organised operations enable it to handle large orders efficiently while
maintaining consistent quality standards.

A major factor behind this capability is RK Ecran&#039;s
impressive annual production and installation capacity of 9,00,000 square feet.

This capacity is more than just a number. It reflects the
company&#039;s readiness to take on large-scale assignments and deliver them within
committed timelines.

For builders, developers, architects, and institutional
buyers, this provides confidence that RK Ecran can manage projects of
significant size without compromising quality or delivery schedules.

The company&#039;s centralised manufacturing facility,
experienced workforce, and established processes further strengthen its ability
to execute projects reliably across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka.

When customers choose RK Ecran, they are partnering with a
company that has both the expertise and the resources to deliver.

Quality That Supports Long-Term Performance

Effective mosquito protection requires more than just a
mesh.

The durability of the frame, the quality of the components,
the strength of the mesh, and the precision of installation all contribute to
long-term performance.

RK Ecran focuses on every aspect of product quality.

Its mosquito protection systems are designed using
high-quality aluminium frames and premium mesh options that offer durability,
functionality, and visual appeal.

The products are engineered to withstand daily use while
maintaining smooth operation and effective protection.

Additional features such as sturdy hinges, weather-resistant
components, elegant handles, and precision manufacturing further enhance
product performance.

This commitment to quality ensures that customers receive
solutions that continue to perform reliably year after year.

Multiple Colour Options for Better Aesthetics

Modern homeowners want products that complement their
interiors and architectural style.

Mosquito protection should not look like an afterthought.

RK Ecran addresses this need by offering mosquito protection
systems in multiple colour and finish options.

Customers can select from a variety of shades that blend
seamlessly with their windows, doors, furniture, and overall interior design.

Whether the preference is for classic white, contemporary
grey, elegant black, warm wood finishes, or other frame colours, RK Ecran
provides flexibility without compromising functionality.

This allows customers to maintain a consistent design theme
throughout their homes while enjoying complete mosquito protection.

The combination of aesthetics and performance makes RK
Ecran&#039;s solutions suitable for both modern and traditional spaces.

A Trusted Brand with a Strong Track Record

Trust is earned through consistent performance.

Over the years, RK Ecran has built a reputation for
delivering dependable mosquito protection solutions backed by quality products
and professional service.

The company&#039;s growing presence, extensive dealer network,
and large customer base reflect the confidence that customers place in the
brand.

With more than 1,00,000 installations completed and a
history spanning over 20 years, RK Ecran continues to set high standards in the
mosquito protection industry.

Its focus on innovation, customer satisfaction, and
operational excellence has helped it become a preferred choice for both
residential and commercial customers.

Your One-Stop Shop for Complete Mosquito Protection

Choosing mosquito protection should not involve multiple
vendors, complicated coordination, or uncertainty about product quality.

Customers deserve a solution provider that can handle
everything under one roof.

That is exactly what RK Ecran offers.

From healthcare institutions and educational campuses to
manufacturing facilities and hospitality establishments, RK Ecran has proudly
served reputed organisations including Aravind Eye Care, Sri Krishna Sweets,
Stanes, AVT Foods &amp; Beverages, and Bannari Amman Sugars, demonstrating its
expertise across multiple sectors.

From windows and doors to balconies and ventilators, from
small homes to large commercial projects, RK Ecran provides comprehensive
mosquito protection solutions designed to meet every requirement.

With turnkey installation, large-scale execution capability,
multiple colour options, premium-quality products, and an annual capacity of
9,00,000 square feet, RK Ecran delivers both convenience and confidence.

<title>International High School for Young Musicians: A New Pathway to Global Music Education</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Furtados
School of Music and Corvuss American Academy introduce an exclusive
international high school residential programme for students committed to
pursuing music with purpose, discipline and global ambition.

The world&#039;s
finest institutions have long understood a simple truth: extraordinary talent
deserves an education designed around it. Yet for generations, young musicians
have been asked to fit their aspirations around conventional schooling,
treating artistic excellence as an extracurricular pursuit rather than a
serious academic discipline.

The
partnership between Furtados School of Music (FSM) and Corvuss American Academy
challenges that convention with a new kind of educational experience—an
exclusive high school programme created for students whose commitment to music
extends far beyond the classroom.

Designed
for a carefully selected cohort of students in Grades 8 to 12, the programme
combines a WASC-accredited American high school with the Advanced
Placement (AP) curriculum from the College Board, alongside an immersive
music specialisation that places artistic development at the centre of everyday
learning.

Students
pursue rigorous training in performance, musicianship, music theory,
composition, ensemble practice and creative expression while building the
academic credentials, professional portfolios and artistic maturity expected by
leading universities and conservatories around the world. As part of their journey,
students prepare for the highly demanding AP Music Theory
examination alongside internationally recognised Trinity College London
and ABRSM practical examinations. Individual mentorship,
international pathways and curated performance opportunities ensure that every
student&#039;s journey is as purposeful as it is personal.

Rooted in
the enduring 150 years legacy of Furtados Music &amp; FSM and strengthened by
the internationally accredited academic excellence of Corvuss American Academy,
this collaboration represents a new benchmark for specialist education in
India. It is an environment where ambition is recognised early, talent is
cultivated with intention, and excellence is expected—not exceptional.

Admission
is intentionally selective. For those ready to commit to their craft, this is
more than a school. It is the beginning of a life shaped by artistry, purpose
and possibility.

<title>The Man Behind Mumbai’s Rising Skyline: Meet Hasan Barday, The Architect of ‘Impossible Made Possible’</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-man-behind-mumbais-rising-skyline-meet-hasan-barday-the-architect-of-impossible-made-possible</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-man-behind-mumbais-rising-skyline-meet-hasan-barday-the-architect-of-impossible-made-possible</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai doesn’t grow by
accident. It grows because people like Hasan Barday make it happen.

 

We honor a specialist
whose name might not be on the building, but whose technical precision and
regulatory mastery are in every foundation, every approval, every inch of
progress. Mr. Hasan Barday isn’t just a phenomenal civil engineer and
liaisoning architect — he’s the vital bridge between vision and reality.

 

Where grand blueprints
meet hard regulations, Hasan steps in. He speaks the language of BMC, MHADA,
and SRA so fluently that red tape turns into green signals. Complex files,
critical NOCs, multi-agency clearances — he navigates them with the same
accuracy he brings to structural drawings.

 

In a city where one
delay can stall dreams, Hasan keeps Mumbai moving. His incredible work
doesn’t make headlines, but it makes skylines. From slum rehab projects that
restore dignity, to high-rises that redefine luxury, to infrastructure that
connects millions — if it’s shaping the city, chances are Hasan’s expertise
shaped it first.

 

He doesn’t just
liaison. He translates ambition into compliance, and compliance into
construction. He ensures that the architect’s dream and the citizen’s need
both meet the law’s letter — and still rise, floor by floor.

 

Mumbai evolves every

<title>From Global Trade to ‘Made in India’: Mustafa Bundiwala Powers a New Chapter in Rubber Manufacturing</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-global-trade-to-made-in-india-mustafa-bundiwala-powers-a-new-chapter-in-rubber-manufacturing</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-global-trade-to-made-in-india-mustafa-bundiwala-powers-a-new-chapter-in-rubber-manufacturing</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In an era where ‘Make
in India’ is more than a slogan, Mr. Mustafa Bundiwala, Partner at Indian
Rubber Industry, is turning vision into reality.

 

An entrepreneur with
over five years in the power tools sector, Mr. Bundiwala first made his mark as
a trader. Working hand-in-hand with international brands, he sourced and
imported products from across the globe — an experience that sharpened his eye
for global quality standards, customer expectations, and fast-shifting market
demands.

But trading was only
the beginning.

 

Today, Mr. Bundiwala
has taken a bold leap — from importing to innovating. With a clear mission to
manufacture world-class industrial rubber products in India, he’s
bridging the gap between global benchmarks and local capability. His move
reflects a deeper belief: India doesn’t just consume quality, it can create it.

 

By setting up advanced
manufacturing, he aims to serve industries that demand precision, durability,
and trust — all while generating jobs and reducing import dependency.

 

For Mr. Bundiwala, this
isn’t just business. It’s a commitment to self-reliance, to Indian engineering,
and to the next generation of homegrown excellence.

 

The
next era of industrial rubber isn’t coming from overseas. It’s rising from
India — and Mustafa Bundiwala is leading the charge.

 

The message is clear:
The future of industrial rubber isn’t just imported. It’s proudly made in
India.

<title>Rustomjee Introduces an exclusive payment plan &#45; Own a Rustomjee Home at just 10% Now</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
10 July, 2026: Rustomjee, one of Mumbai&#039;s leading real estate
developers, has announced the launch of its limited period exclusive payment plan.
Designed to make buying a property more accessible and financially convenient,
the campaign allows customers to own a Rustomjee home by paying just 10%
upfront.

Available
across select Rustomjee properties, the offer caters to first-time homebuyers,
young professionals, growing families, and investors seeking long-term value.
By lowering the entry barrier and allowing customers to spread their financial
commitments over time, the campaign provides a timely opportunity to enter the
real estate market.

Mukesh
Singh, Chief Sales Officer, Rustomjee, added, “Today’s
homebuyers are seeking both aspiration and financial flexibility and
increasingly, they expect both from the same proposition. Purchasing a home
remains one of the most significant financial decisions a family will ever
make, and we recognise that the biggest hurdle is often not the willingness to
buy, but the weight of upfront financial commitment that comes with it.

Our ‘10% Now’ payment plan
directly addresses this reality allowing customers to secure their preferred
home today with minimal immediate outlay, while deferring the balance payment
until closer to project completion. This gives families the financial
flexibility and confidence to plan their transition into a new home without
immediate financial strain.

The
plan has been thoughtfully designed to cater to different buyer segments. For
NRIs, it provides the opportunity to make a lower upfront investment while
potentially benefiting from currency fluctuations or continued participation in
equity markets. For UHNIs with significant investments in equity markets, it
allows them to remain invested for potential short to long-term upside. For
end-users, it offers the flexibility to time the sale of their existing asset
closer to the completion of our project, potentially enabling better value
realisation. By significantly reducing the upfront financial commitment, the
plan empowers customers to optimize their capital while making one of life&#039;s
most important investments.”

The
campaign is also rooted in a philosophy that places families and human
experiences at the centre of every home. While the world often measures success
through achievements and titles, home remains the one place where people can
simply be themselves, surrounded by those who matter most. It is this belief
that informs everything Rustomjee builds.

As
families invest in their future and celebrate new milestones, Rustomjee’s exclusive payment plan
offers a compelling opportunity to turn the dream of homeownership into reality
with greater ease, confidence, and peace of mind.

About

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

<title>Topline&amp;apos;s Winter Expo Draws Strong Retailer Response, Sets Stage for Upcoming Season</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/toplines-winter-expo-draws-strong-retailer-response-sets-stage-for-upcoming-season</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/toplines-winter-expo-draws-strong-retailer-response-sets-stage-for-upcoming-season</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

New Delhi: With retailers preparing for the upcoming festive and
winter shopping season, Topline Clothing LLP successfully concluded its latest
Winter Expo, attracting buyers looking to stock fresh collections and
strengthen their seasonal inventory. The exhibition witnessed an enthusiastic
response from retailers, making it bigger and more successful than last year’s
edition.

Known for organising sourcing events for the retail community, Topline
Clothing LLP has built a loyal following over the years. Many retailers now
wait for the company&#039;s exhibitions, considering them an important opportunity
to explore new collections, discover market trends and place orders ahead of
the season. This year&#039;s event once again lived up to those expectations,
receiving widespread appreciation for its product range, organisation and
overall experience.

The expo featured an extensive collection of girls&#039; and children&#039;s
apparel, offering retailers a wide variety of styles, designs and price points
suited to different customer segments. With seasonal demand expected to rise in
the coming months, buyers were keen to source fresh merchandise that would
appeal to customers while helping them maintain healthy business margins.

Retailers attending the exhibition appreciated the carefully curated
collections and the convenience of being able to evaluate multiple options
under one roof. Many visitors described the expo as a valuable business
platform that simplifies sourcing and helps them prepare well in advance for
the busy shopping season. The positive feedback reflected the growing trust
that Topline has earned among apparel retailers.

The latest edition also marked a significant step forward for the
company, with participation and business activity surpassing last year&#039;s event.
The larger turnout highlighted the increasing popularity of the exhibition and
reinforced Topline&#039;s position as a preferred sourcing destination for retailers
seeking quality products and reliable business partnerships.

Rather than being a one-time initiative, such exhibitions are
organised regularly by Topline Clothing LLP to support retailers with timely
access to new collections before every major season. The company&#039;s continued
focus on understanding market requirements and delivering relevant product
offerings has helped create long-term relationships with retailers across
different regions.

Founded by Siddhanth Bharti, Topline Clothing LLP has steadily
expanded its presence by focusing on quality, variety and value for its retail
partners. His vision has been to create a platform where retailers can source
the latest collections efficiently while staying ahead of changing consumer
preferences.

As the retail industry becomes increasingly competitive, exhibitions
such as the Winter Expo provide businesses with an opportunity to plan their
inventory strategically and respond to evolving fashion trends. The success of
this year&#039;s event demonstrated not only strong retailer confidence in the brand
but also the growing importance of organised B2B sourcing platforms in the
apparel sector.

With another successful edition completed, Topline Clothing LLP has
once again strengthened its reputation among retailers who eagerly await its
exhibitions season after season. The overwhelming response, larger scale
compared to last year and appreciation from attendees reaffirm the company&#039;s
commitment to helping retailers enter every season with fresh collections,
wider choices and renewed business confidence.

For retailers, exhibitions like these serve as an important platform
to make informed buying decisions before the season begins. Instead of relying
solely on catalogues or online selections, buyers get an opportunity to examine
product quality, understand the latest fashion trends and choose collections
that best suit the preferences of their customers. The event also created a
space for meaningful interactions between the company and its retail partners,
allowing discussions on evolving consumer demand and business requirements.
With fresh arrivals unveiled ahead of the festive and winter season, retailers
were able to plan their inventory early, ensuring they are well-equipped to meet

<title>Axis Max Life Deploys GreyLabs’ Voice AI Suite, Achieving ~15% Uplift in Sales Conversions</title>

<description><![CDATA[ By
analyzing over 6 lakh customer conversations - totalling over 1.4 Cr minutes of
call time across 700+ agents, with GreyLabs AI’s Voice AI Suite, Axis Max Life
is driving measurable improvement in sales conversion, agent performance, and
product design

New
Delhi, July 10, 2026: Axis Max Life Insurance Ltd., formerly
known as Max Life Insurance Company Limited (“Axis Max Life”/“Company”),
has deployed GreyLabs AI&#039;s Voice AI Suite, purpose-built for BFSI enterprises,
to unlock deeper customer intelligence and drive sales effectiveness. The
deployment has enabled Axis Max Life to move beyond limited, selective call
reviews to 100% AI-led assessment of all meaningful calls, surfacing actionable
intelligence that has contributed to a nearly 15% uplift in sales conversions.

One
of the most significant discoveries from the deployment: the first 90-120
seconds of a sales conversation predicts conversion propensity more powerfully
than any customer demographic profile. This insight helps Axis Max Life
identify high-intent customers and guides its telesales teams, shifting sales
strategy from who the customer is to what they say on the call.

Axis
Max Life has built advanced digital life insurance business over the past five
years. Its online business has grown 10x during this period, with digital
channels now contributing around 15% of the company&#039;s Annualised Premium
Equivalent (APE). Today, one in three new customers is acquired digitally, and
the online business continues to grow at approximately 4x the industry growth
rate, making Axis Max Life one of the digitally advanced life insurance
businesses in India.



As
Axis Max Life&#039;s digital business scaled rapidly, the volume and complexity of
telesales conversations grew beyond what traditional review processes could meaningfully
analyse. Recognising the untapped intelligence within these conversations, Axis
Max Life partnered with GreyLabs AI to build a more systematic, AI-led approach
to understanding customer intent at scale.



With
GreyLabs AI, Axis Max Life now analyses all meaningful conversations across
more than 700 agents, covering over 6 lakh calls and 1.4 Cr. minutes of
customer interactions. Post-conversation, contextual follow-up messages built
around what customers actually said rather than where they dropped off, have
driven click-through rates significantly higher. Even product design decisions
are now driven directly by customer voice.

Speaking
on the development, Aman Goel, Founder &amp; CEO, GreyLabs AI, said, “Axis
Max Life Insurance has been an exceptional partner, a team that was willing to
fundamentally rethink how customer intelligence should work in a regulated
industry. BFSI as a sector has historically been cautious about AI adoption and
rightly so. But what this deployment demonstrates is that when AI is
implemented with the right guardrails, the right intent, and a genuine focus on
business outcomes rather than technology for its own sake, the results are
transformative. What Axis Max Life has shown is that in regulated industries,
AI does not need to replace human judgment, it needs to inform it. That is the
model we are building across BFSI.&quot; 

Vaibhav
Kumar, Head – Products, E-Commerce and Enterprise COE, Axis Max Life Insurance,
said, &quot;At Axis Max
Life, our digital business is built on the principle of understanding what our
customers need. GreyLabs AI&#039;s Voice AI Suite has given us an ability to listen
to our customers at scale - not just what they say, but what they mean. The
intelligence we&#039;ve gained has helped us serve customers better, design more
relevant products, and build more meaningful conversations at every touchpoint.
This is exactly the kind of partnership that helps us deliver on our promise to
customers.&quot;

Building
on these results, Axis Max Life and GreyLabs AI are exploring expanded applications
of AI across the sales lifecycle including a Voice AI Calling Agent being
implemented to proactively engage prospects, guide them through their purchase
journey. This collaboration reflects a broader shift underway across India&#039;s
BFSI sector demonstrating that regulated financial institutions can deploy AI
with confidence, compliance, and measurable business impact.

<description><![CDATA[  Anchored by the trust and legacy of BIG FM, the pioneering initiative
integrates Radio, Multi-Format News Network, Digital Entertainment Platforms,
Digital OOH, and Live Experiences to create India’s most connected media &amp;
entertainment ecosystem.

MUMBAI, JULY 2026 : Reliance Broadcast Network Limited (RBNL)

entertainment powerhouse with the official launch of ONE BIG WORLD.
Built on the iconic BIG FM legacy, ONE BIG WORLD marks a strategic shift from
standalone verticals to a fully integrated ecosystem designed to accompany
consumers across every physical and digital touchpoint of their daily lives.

monthly users through 67 BIG FM radio stations, BIG News Network, 100
million+ lifetime BIG LIVE users, 20 million+ social media reach, and 5,000+

platform — it is a philosophy. By eliminating silos between content,
distribution, audiences, and brand experiences, RBNL is building an
unprecedented multi-platform network optimized for deep consumer engagement,
community building, commerce, and measurable outcomes for advertisers.

Commenting on the launch, Sahil Mangla,

across Landaa Giraavaru and Kuda Huraa for a summer of skill-building,
discovery and island adventure

At the heart of the experience is a growing line-up of celebrated
figures from sport, adventure and environmental science, each bringing their
expertise, stories and energy to the islands.

The program unfolds across the distinct yet complementary islands of Four Seasons Resort Maldives at
Landaa Giraavaru and Four Seasons Resort Maldives at
Kuda Huraa. Here, expert coaching across football,
surfing, mixed martial arts and conservation blends with immersive island
living, offering a balance of activity, discovery and relaxed evening
gatherings.

Designed to nurture confidence, curiosity and a sense of global
connection, the summer camp creates an environment where learning feels natural
and joyfully unforced; passions are sparked, perspectives broadened, and
memories created to last far beyond the summer.

Where Legends Lead

The first wave of confirmed mentors includes former German captain
Arne Friedrich, former England captain Casey Stoney, England centurion Jill
Scott and championship-winning English midfielder Steve Sidwell, who will lead
football sessions at Landaa Giraavaru. At Kuda Huraa, former elite professional
surfer and world-class coach Ross Williams will be joined by South African
former Championship Tour surfer Travis Logie, bringing technical insight and
ocean energy to the waves.

Across martial arts and movement, Angela Lee Pucci, former six-time
world champion and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, joins at Landaa Giraavaru
alongside Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and coach Bruno Pucci. Leo Vieira,
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu pioneer and multiple-time world champion, leads sessions at
Kuda Huraa, while Indian Shaolin monk and Kung Fu master Hurssh Verma and
national Kungfu champion Guo Jing bring discipline, philosophy and movement to
both islands.

Award-winning filmmaker and ocean storyteller Craig Foster, best known
for My Octopus Teacher, and world-record explorer Ash Dykes will join both
resorts, sharing rare perspectives on the natural world through storytelling
and field-based exploration. At Landaa Giraavaru, oceanographer Dr Phil
Hosegood will bring added scientific depth through marine research and
ocean-focused discovery.

With just a few more legends due to be announced, stay tuned for
further updates or visit www.fourseasons.com/maldives/summer

Two Islands, Infinite Possibilities

The program comprises a complimentary schedule of workshops, coaching

numbers and subject to availability. Young guests can gain pro-level insights
from an ex-England football captain, ride waves with an elite former
Championship Tour surfer, master techniques with a multiple-time Jiu-Jitsu
Champion, and join field trips with an award-winning ocean storyteller.

For those seeking a more tailored experience, private one-to-one
coaching sessions are also available, subject to availability and additional
charge.

Inspiration at the Highest Level

“Learn with Legends offers a fresh perspective in luxury family
travel, where world-class talent, meaningful experiences and exceptional
surroundings come together to create something truly transformative,” says Armando Kraenzlin,
Regional Vice President of Four Seasons Resorts Maldives. “What makes this
program so powerful is the human connection: guests aren’t simply learning
skills and participating in activities. They are engaging with some of the
world’s leading figures in their fields and accessing high-level inspiration
that will resonate well beyond their stay.&quot;

Stay Longer Offer

Families can make the most of the summer with the Stay Longer offer at

<title>Pidilite’s Fevicryl Launches Children’s Art Range ‘Fevicryl YUDU’</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/pidilites-fevicryl-launches-childrens-art-range-fevicryl-yudu</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/pidilites-fevicryl-launches-childrens-art-range-fevicryl-yudu</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India,
09th June 2026: Pidilite Industries’ arts and crafts brand
Fevicryl has unveiled its new digital video campaign, ‘Fevicryl YUDU - Banao
Apni Stories’, marking its foray into the premium children’s art category.
Rooted in the belief that every child has a story waiting to be told, the
campaign celebrates imagination as the beginning of every story and creativity
as the language through which children express who they are.

The
Fevicryl YUDU range includes a thoughtfully curated portfolio of child-safe
creative tools such as brush pens, poster colours, 3-in-1 pencils and more.
Designed to work across multiple surfaces, the range gives children the freedom
to draw, paint, mould and create without boundaries. Every product is non-toxic
and made to encourage limitless exploration.

Speaking
about the launch, Mr. Kashyap Gala, Senior Vice President, Consumer Products
Division, Pidilite Industries Ltd., said, &quot;With Fevicryl YUDU - Banao
Apni Stories, we wanted to create more than an art range, we wanted to create a
brand that believes every child deserves the freedom to imagine, express and
tell stories in their own unique way. Fevicryl YUDU equips children with the
right creative tools to turn everyday thoughts, ideas and dreams into stories,
helping them discover the joy of self-expression without limits.&quot;

At
the heart of the campaign lies a simple belief: stories are an extension of who
children are. Whether it’s a dinosaur flying to school, a house in the clouds
or animals that talk, children’s imaginations know no rules. Through colours,
clay and creative play, they build worlds that are wonderfully their own.

Fevicryl
YUDU is an invitation for children to imagine freely, explore fearlessly and
express themselves in their own unique way. The campaign positions creativity
not as an outcome to perfect, but as a journey where every scribble, colour and
creation becomes part of a child’s own story. With creative tools that work
across multiple surfaces, Fevicryl YUDU ensures that imagination is never
confined by the canvas.

 The campaign also introduces a vibrant
character-led universe that accompanies children on their creative adventures,
making storytelling even more engaging while inspiring them to keep creating
stories wherever their imagination takes them.

The
campaign will be amplified across digital platforms and reflects Pidilite&#039;s
continued commitment to building meaningful connections in the children&#039;s art
and craft category.

With
&#039;Fevicryl YUDU - Banao Apni Stories&#039;, the brand continues to inspire children
to imagine freely and tell stories that are uniquely their own.

UP
plans 22 expressways, 8,000-acre industrial land pipeline; NHAI outlines
technology-driven future of Indian highways.

Mumbai,
9 July 2026: Uttar Pradesh’s ambitious infrastructure-led
growth strategy took centre stage on Day 2 of the 16th RAHSTA Expo, where
senior government officials outlined how expressways, industrial corridors and
technology-driven governance are transforming the state into one of India&#039;s
most attractive investment destinations.

Delivering
the keynote address, Srihari Pratap Shahi, IAS, Additional Chief Executive
Officer, Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA),
highlighted the state&#039;s long-term vision of integrating world-class expressways
with industrial development to accelerate manufacturing, logistics and regional
economic growth. He explained how Uttar Pradesh is leveraging its expanding
expressway network to create new industrial ecosystems, improve connectivity
and attract large-scale investments across sectors.

Speaking
on building industrial growth engines in UP, Deeksha Jain, IAS, Additional
Chief Executive Officer, Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority
(UPSIDA), said the state’s infrastructure push is backed by strong
manufacturing growth and investor-friendly policies.

“UP
is witnessing nearly 15 per cent annual growth in manufacturing, while exports
continue to expand steadily. Infrastructure has become the biggest catalyst
behind this transformation,” she said.

She
highlighted that Uttar Pradesh now has 22 expressways under various stages of
planning and development, with nine already operational, alongside five
international airports, dedicated freight corridors, an extensive industrial
land bank and one of India’s largest MSME ecosystems.

Emphasising
UPSIDA’s role in supporting industrialisation, Jain said the authority has
developed 167 industrial areas across the state, has over 5,000 acres of
readily allottable land, and is creating an 8,000-acre pipeline for future
industrial development. She noted that UPSIDA is adopting EPC-based execution
models, digital project monitoring, transparent online land allotment systems,
third-party quality audits, drone-based monitoring and sustainable
infrastructure practices to improve project delivery.

She
also highlighted the state’s focus on sector-specific industrial clusters,
including automobile manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, logistics and advanced
manufacturing, supported by plug-and-play infrastructure and investor
facilitation through single-window clearance systems.

Calling
for closer collaboration between government and industry, Jain said Uttar
Pradesh is committed to creating transparent, technology-enabled systems that
make investments faster, easier and more efficient.

Organised
by ASAPP Info Global Group, RAHSTA Expo, Asia’s largest road exhibition,
will host its 17th edition on May 20-22, 2027, in Mumbai.
Expressing satisfaction over the completion of the expo, Pratap Padode,
Founder, ASAPP Info Global Group, said, “We have been able to bring diverse
solutions with products, technologies, materials and equipment for the road
ecosystem and our 30-year experience in the sector and the relationships with
contractors has been one the key success factors in delivering returns for our
exhibitors and sponsors.”

Addressing
the conference, Mridul Dubey, Chief General Manager (Finance), National
Highways Authority of India (NHAI), outlined the next phase of India’s
highway development strategy centred on better planning, asset quality, digital
technologies and innovative financing.

He
said NHAI’s priorities for 2026-27 include 4,000 km of project awards and 5,000
km of highway construction, supported by comprehensive project preparation,
digital planning tools and integrated infrastructure development under the PM
Gati Shakti framework.

Dubey
noted that India’s highway sector is increasingly adopting advanced
technologies such as drone surveys, AI-enabled traffic management systems,
digital inspections and Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling to improve
efficiency and user experience. He added that FASTag has already reduced
average toll waiting time by nearly 90 per cent while generating valuable
mobility data for infrastructure planning.

Highlighting
the financing strategy for future highway expansion, Dubey said NHAI has
successfully leveraged asset monetisation through Toll-Operate-Transfer (TOT)
projects, Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) and project-specific
financing models, enabling capital recycling for new highway development.

The
discussions during the conference reinforced the importance of integrating
highways, industrial corridors, logistics infrastructure and digital
technologies to create faster, safer and more sustainable transportation
networks while strengthening India’s manufacturing competitiveness.

The
second day of RAHSTA Expo brought together policymakers, infrastructure
developers, consultants, contractors, technology providers and industry leaders
to deliberate on the next phase of India’s road and industrial infrastructure
growth, with Uttar Pradesh emerging as one of the key examples of
infrastructure-driven economic transformation.

<title>Roots of Change: How Mustafa Yusufali Gom Planted a Revolution at the Buddha Peace Awards</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Some people win awards.
Mustafa Yusufali Gom
wins hearts and wakes up minds.

The Biswa Bangla
Convention Centre in Kolkata wasn’t just filled with dignitaries last week. It
was filled with purpose. The hall at Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, Kolkata
wasn’t silent because of protocol. It was silent because every word mattered.

 

At the International
Buddha Peace Award felicitation ceremony, organized by the Maitry Peace
Foundation under President Surajit Barua, leaders gathered not just
to honor peace, but to define it for a new generation. With Hon’ble Minister
Mr. Dilip Ghosh, Government of West Bengal, as guest of honor, the evening
was already powerful.

 

Then Mustafa
Yusufali Gom took the stage.

 

Invited for his
tireless work in environmental sustainability, Mustafa didn’t deliver a speech.
He delivered a wake-up call. His theme “Saving the Earth through Local Tree
Plantation” stripped away excuses and global abstractions. His message was
simple, urgent, and unstoppable: The fight against climate change isn’t in
conference rooms. It’s in your colony, your street, your soil.

 

He spoke of peace not
as the absence of war, but as the presence of green. Of shade for children. Of
clean air for elders. Of responsibility for all of us. The room didn’t just
clap — it committed.

 

When Mr. Dilip Ghosh
honored him with the International Buddha Peace Award, it was more than
recognition. It was confirmation that real change-makers don’t wait for policy.
They pick up a sapling.

 

As Surajit Barua put
it: “Mustafa doesn’t preach sustainability. He lives it. And today, he made
all of us want to live it too.”

 

One
man. One message. Millions of possible trees. The revolution won’t be televised
— it’ll be planted. And leading it is Mustafa Yusufali Gom, Founder of Care Taker.
Will you join him? ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Chennai,
9th July 2026: Recognition in the branding industry is not
measured solely by awards, it is earned through consistent innovation,
measurable business impact, and the ability to shape the future of marketing.
Birth Marque has steadily built this reputation by introducing pioneering
branding concepts, embracing emerging technologies ahead of the curve, and
helping businesses navigate an increasingly AI-driven marketplace.

Today,
Birth Marque stands as one of
India&#039;s emerging AI-powered
branding and digital transformation agencies,
and its growing recognition as a Super Brand Partner in AI reflects a
significant milestone in its journey of technology-led brand innovation. Guided
by founder Shailendra Shivakumar and Partner Varsha Sanjay, the Chennai-based
agency has transformed itself from a creative branding consultancy into an
integrated AI marketing automation Company in Chennai,
and digital intelligence company serving more than 1,200 clients across diverse
industries.

Over
the past decade and a half, Birth Marque has consistently demonstrated that
successful branding is no longer driven by advertising alone. Modern brands
require Artificial Intelligence, predictive analytics, automation, immersive
customer experiences, intelligent content creation, and data-driven
decision-making. Recognising this transformation early, the agency invested in
building AI-powered capabilities that enhance every stage of the customer
journey from market research and brand positioning to campaign optimisation,
lead generation, customer engagement, and business intelligence.

This
forward-thinking approach has enabled Birth Marque to create several
category-defining initiatives that distinguish it within India&#039;s branding
ecosystem. The agency has successfully delivered India&#039;s First Digital Pongal
campaign for the logistics sector, India&#039;s First Creative Real Estate Campaign,
India&#039;s First NFT-powered CSR initiative, India&#039;s First Digital Rehabilitation
Pongal programme, India&#039;s First Metaverse-based launch campaign for the
transport and logistics industry, India&#039;s First AI-integrated auction property
marketplace, AI-enabled IoT marketing initiatives, and immersive technology
experiences that combine Artificial Intelligence, Web3, IoT, and Metaverse
platforms. These projects illustrate the company&#039;s ability to anticipate future
marketing trends and convert emerging technologies into competitive business
advantages.

Beyond
innovation, Birth Marque&#039;s success lies in its integrated service model.
Businesses today increasingly seek partners capable of delivering end-to-end AI
transformation rather than isolated marketing campaigns. The agency&#039;s
comprehensive portfolio includes AI-powered lead generation, AI marketing
automation, AI SEO and AEO services, AI consulting and implementation,
enterprise intelligence solutions, AI-powered CRM and WhatsApp automation,
performance marketing, public relations, digital transformation, branding
strategy, custom software development, and Web3 solutions. This integrated
capability positions Birth Marque among the best AI agencies in Chennai and
strengthens its reputation as one of the top digital marketing agencies in India
serving AI-first enterprises.

The
company&#039;s growth also reflects a broader shift occurring across the Indian
business landscape. Organisations evaluating the top AI agencies in India or
searching for AI development services in Chennai increasingly prioritise
agencies that understand both technology and business strategy. Birth Marque
addresses this need by combining creative excellence with measurable commercial
outcomes. Every engagement is designed to improve brand visibility, customer
acquisition, operational efficiency, and long-term business growth through
intelligent automation and strategic innovation.

Founder
Shailendra Shivakumar , Indian branding Guru
believes that Artificial Intelligence should enhance creativity rather than
replace it. This philosophy has shaped Birth Marque&#039;s
evolution into a company where technology serves as a strategic enabler for
stronger storytelling, better customer experiences, and smarter business
decisions. As AI continues to redefine branding, marketing, and enterprise
growth, the agency remains committed to building future-ready solutions that
empower businesses to stay competitive in rapidly evolving markets.

Recognition
as a Super Brand Partner in AI  therefore represents more than an industry
milestone, it symbolises Birth Marque&#039;s aim at innovation, leadership, and
continuous transformation. By blending human creativity with Artificial
Intelligence, automation, and strategic insight, Birth Marque is helping the
future of branding in India while establishing itself as a trusted partner for
businesses seeking intelligent, scalable, and sustainable growth. ]]></description>

<title>Road Minister Ajay Tamta presents RAHSTA Awards to MMRDA, BRO, Haryana PWD</title>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/road-minister-ajay-tamta-presents-rahsta-awards-to-mmrda-bro-haryana-pwd</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Winners include GHV Infra Projects, Ceigall, Welspun, L&amp;T, Rajpath
Infracon, Dineshchandra R Agrawal Infracon, J Kumar Infraprojects among road
builders. OEMs like Tata Hitachi, Dynapac, Terex Powerscreen, Escorts Kubota
and other product manufacturers like Zydex, Tata Steel among others.

Mumbai, 9 July 2026: “Technology is becoming central to highway
development”, stated Shri Ajay Tamta, Union Minister of State for Road
Transport &amp; Highways while presenting RAHSTA Awards to 24 companies at
the RAHSTA Expo on July 8th at Jio World Convention Centre,
Mumbai. Some winners included Mhari Sadak from Haryana Public Works
Department, Border Roads Organisation, GHV Infra Projects, Ceigall, Welspun,
L&amp;T, Rajpath Infracon, Dineshchandra R Agrawal Infracon, J Kumar
Infraprojects among road builders. OEMs like Tata Hitachi, Dynapac, Terex
Powerscreen, Escorts Kubota and other product manufacturers like Zydex, Tata
Steel among others. 

RAHSTA Awards were held on the sidelines of 16th RAHSTA
Expo where exhibitors include Terex, Caterpillar, Tata Hitachi, Dynapac,
Liugong, Alltech, SRMB, Elegant, Electrotherm, Tata Steel, Jindal Steel,
Maccaferri, UP Invest, MMRDA, Monte Carlo, Zydex and many more.

Emphasising priorities set for the government, the minister Ajay Tamta
stated that “Technology is becoming central to highway development. However,
not all technologies are suitable for all ecosystems. Technologies like TBM
used by MMRDA in Mumbai cannot be used in fragile terrains and hilly regions.
There we must use blasting which also needs to be tempered to protect the
ecology.”

Bidur Kant Jha, Director, New Technology for Highway Development,
Ministry of Road Transport &amp; Highways,
highlighted how innovation and emerging technologies are transforming the way
India’s highways are designed, built and managed, making them safer, smarter
and more resilient.

Highlighting the Ministry’s approach to innovation, Jha said MoRTH has
established a structured framework for adopting proven technologies,
alternative materials and innovative designs. New technologies must obtain
Indian Roads Congress (IRC) accreditation and demonstrate their performance
through pilot projects before wider implementation.

Founder, FIRST Construction Council, Pratap Padode,
expressed that, “What has been most satisfying for us is the discovery of
outstanding work being done across the country. Many companies, some well-known
and some quietly doing exceptional work, have demonstrated remarkable
achievements in execution, technology, innovation, materials, safety,
sustainability and project delivery.” He also informed that RAHSTA Expo would
be held on May 20-22 in 2027.

The discussions reinforced a common message: creating safer roads
requires more than infrastructure investment—it demands visionary leadership,
engineering excellence and continuous innovation. It was this spirit that the
RAHSTA Awards 2026 sought to recognise.

Among the evening’s highest honours were the Special Recognition
Awards, presented to 

Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee (IAS), Metropolitan Commissioner, Mumbai
Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), for
his exemplary leadership in advancing the underground tunnel network across the
Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). His leadership has helped shape projects that
combine rapid development with sustainable and people-centric planning,
demonstrating how effective governance can drive safer infrastructure.

Dr. Mukherjee underscored the importance of integrated urban planning
and multimodal mobility, noting that Mumbai&#039;s infrastructure success has been
driven by coordinated efforts across engineering, planning and execution teams.
He highlighted the city&#039;s historic underground water and sewerage network, the
role of technology in improving civic infrastructure, and the need to integrate
roads with metro and bus systems to create seamless urban mobility.

<description><![CDATA[ Supported
by the global performance brand, the ultra-endurance athlete completes a
remarkable 4200+ kilometre journey spanning mountains, highways, cities, and
changing terrains in 67 days.

Mumbai :  Skechers, The Comfort Technology Company®,
proudly celebrates the successful completion of Project K2K as ultra-endurance
athlete Kartik Joshi concluded his historic run from Kargil to Kanyakumari,
covering 4200+ kilometres across India in 67 days.

The
journey, which began at the iconic Kargil War Memorial and culminated at the
southern tip of the country in Kanyakumari, stands among India&#039;s most ambitious
long-distance running feats. Over the course of the challenge, Kartik traversed
diverse terrains and climatic conditions, navigating high-altitude mountain
roads, highways, urban landscapes and changing weather patterns while pushing
the limits of physical and mental endurance.

Reflecting
on the completion of the challenge, Kartik Joshi said,&quot;Crossing
the finish line in Kanyakumari is a moment that is difficult to put into words.
This journey tested me every single day. From the mountains of Kargil to the
roads leading into Kanyakumari, every kilometre demanded resilience and belief.
Over thousands of kilometres and changing terrains, my Skechers AERO Series
shoes became an integral part of the journey, providing the comfort, cushioning
and support I needed to keep moving forward day after day. What kept me going
was also the encouragement I received from people across the country and the
purpose behind this run. Completing K2K is a dream realised, and I am grateful
to Skechers for standing beside me throughout this incredible experience.&quot;



For
the entire expedition, Kartik ran in Skechers Performance footwear, primarily
in the Skechers AERO Burst® and Skechers AERO Spark®, relying on the brand&#039;s
innovative running technology as he undertook one of the most demanding
endurance challenges attempted in the country.

The
completion of Project K2K marks a significant milestone for India&#039;s growing
endurance sports ecosystem and serves as a powerful reminder of the limitless
potential of human determination. Along the route, Kartik connected with
runners, fitness enthusiasts and local communities across multiple cities,
inspiring thousands through his unwavering commitment to the challenge.

Commenting
on the achievement, Rahul Vira, CEO, Skechers South Asia Pvt. Ltd.,
said, &quot;Kartik&#039;s completion of the Kargil-to-Kanyakumari run is a
phenomenal achievement and a powerful example of what can be accomplished through
perseverance, discipline and an unwavering mindset. At Skechers, we are
passionate about supporting athletes who challenge convention and push
boundaries, and Kartik&#039;s journey embodies those values perfectly. We are
equally proud that throughout this extraordinary challenge, he relied on our
Skechers AERO Series running footwear, which are designed to deliver
lightweight cushioning, responsiveness and comfort over long distances. We
believe his achievement will inspire countless individuals to embrace running
and pursue their own goals, no matter how ambitious they may seem.&quot;

Born
and raised in Indore, Kartik Joshi has established himself as one of India&#039;s
emerging endurance athletes through his dedication to long-distance running and
his ability to take on extreme physical challenges. The successful completion
of Project K2K further cements his position among a new generation of Indian
runners redefining the possibilities of endurance sport in the country.

Through
Project K2K, Skechers reinforced its commitment to India&#039;s growing running
culture by supporting grassroots communities and promoting participation in

<title>Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai Unveils ‘Constellar’, the Name and Design Story Behind its 10,000&#45;Square&#45;Foot Ballroom Facility</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/four-seasons-hotel-mumbai-unveils-constellar-the-name-and-design-story-behind-its-10000-square-foot-ballroom-facility</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/four-seasons-hotel-mumbai-unveils-constellar-the-name-and-design-story-behind-its-10000-square-foot-ballroom-facility</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Four
Seasons Hotel Mumbai unveils ‘Constellar’, the official name and
identity of its expansive 10,000-square-foot ballroom facility. This reveal
marks a defining moment for the space, bringing together design, symbolism, and
a distinct narrative that reflects the hotel’s architectural language and its
legacy of refined hospitality.

Introduced
earlier this year, the ballroom has already emerged as one of Mumbai’s most
sophisticated and versatile venues for weddings, celebrations, and corporate
gatherings. With the unveiling of ‘Constellar’, the space now carries a name
and visual identity that deepen its presence and meaning .

The
Design Story Behind Constellar

The
name ‘Constellar’ is inspired by constellations, evoking a sense of connection
and timeless beauty. The logo translates this inspiration into a refined visual
form. At its core, the four-circle icon draws from the ballroom’s architectural
detailing, particularly the repeated circular patterns seen at its grand
entrance. These circles create a harmonious and elegant motif, bridging
interior design with visual identity. A subtle star formed between the shapes
reflects the idea of constellations in the night sky, reinforcing the name. The
four circles also reference the Four Seasons legacy, embedding the brand’s
essence into the design itself. The name and logo position ‘Constellar’ as a
space where moments align and celebrations come together with effortless grace.

“Constellar,
inspired by constellations, redefines how we envision celebrations coming
together with intention, beauty, and meaning. With Constellar, we have given
our ballroom a distinct character rooted in contemporary design, advanced
technology, culinary craftsmanship, and a passionate team. It is ultimately
brought to life by our esteemed guests, who make each celebration unique and
memorable,” shares Nitesh Gandhi, General Manager, Four Seasons Hotels
Mumbai

A
Ballroom Designed for Grand Celebrations

‘Constellar’
reflects the many elements that come together to create something truly
extraordinary. Each star, formed through the interplay of design, represents
what makes the space distinctive. Located in the heart of Worli, the
10,000-square-foot event facility combines scale with elegance, beginning with
a 500-square-foot private arrival foyer that leads into a 1,300-square-foot
pre-function area, and culminating in a 7,000-square-foot banqueting space
anchored by a 5,700-square-foot pillarless hall with a 19-foot ceiling. Modern
and contemporary interiors set a sophisticated tone, while a 1,000-square-foot
LED wall, digital signage, and modular configurations introduce advanced
technology and creative flexibility. Seamless connectivity to The Great Room
ensures sleek transitions across weddings, soirées, and large-scale launches.

Every
event is shaped by Four Season’s signature approach to personalised service,
where dedicated specialists and meticulous details ensure each celebration
feels intimate and memorable. With ‘Constellar’, this vision is brought to life
through refined design and architecture, complemented by a deeper sense of
meaning.

<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai,
July 08, 2026: Liebherr Appliances India brought together
its key distributor partners from across the country at its Annual Partner
Meet, reaffirming its long-term confidence in India&#039;s rapidly evolving premium
refrigeration market. The annual gathering served as a strategic platform to
exchange market insights, strengthen partnerships, and unveil the company&#039;s
innovation roadmap as it continues to shape the future of premium refrigeration
in India.

The
event brought together key distributor partners from across India in the
presence of Mr. Steffen Nagel, Managing Director – Sales &amp; Marketing,
Appliance Division, Mr. Roman Schaefer, Head of Business Area India, Appliance
Division, and Mr. Kapil Agarwal, Managing Director – Sales, Liebherr Appliances
India.

Commenting
on the occasion, Mr. Steffen Nagel, Managing Director – Sales &amp; Marketing,
Appliance Division, Liebherr, said, &quot;India continues to be one of the most
exciting growth markets for premium refrigeration. As consumer expectations
evolve beyond functionality towards design, freshness and efficient technology,
we remain committed to delivering innovations that enhance everyday living. Our
distributor partners play a pivotal role in bringing these innovations closer
to consumers, and we value their continued trust and collaboration as we
strengthen Liebherr&#039;s presence in India.&quot;

Mr.
Kapil Agarwal, Managing Director – Sales, Liebherr Appliances India, added,
&quot;India&#039;s refrigeration market is entering an exciting phase of
transformation, driven by changing lifestyles, premium housing and increasing
consumer aspirations. Our focus remains on introducing meaningful innovations
that address evolving household needs while creating long-term value for our
channel partners. The Annual Distributor Meet enables us to align on this
shared vision and collectively drive the next phase of growth.&quot;

Despite
a challenging start to 2026 for the appliance industry, Liebherr Appliances
India has remained focused on strengthening its portfolio through meaningful
innovations rooted in German engineering, purposeful innovations and an
in-depth understanding of Indian consumer lifestyles.

Leading
this innovation journey is the FreshBreeze range, a breakthrough technology
that redefines freshness in refrigeration. Going beyond conventional cooling,
FreshBreeze releases a fine, cool mist into the vegetable compartment to
maintain optimal humidity, helping leafy vegetables and fruits retain their
natural moisture, texture and freshness for significantly longer. Now available
across 316L, 380L, 400L and 420L capacities.

Complementing
FreshBreeze is a suite of consumer-centric innovations designed specifically
for Indian households. In the past, innovations like Handsfree Opening feature
in Direct Cool refrigerators, allowing users to open the refrigerator
effortlessly using a foot pedal when their hands are occupied; Hot to Cool
technology in double-door models, enabling freshly boiled milk to be safely
stored inside the refrigerator while delivering up to three times faster
cooling; and ergonomically engineered lever handles that make opening even
heavily loaded refrigerator doors remarkably effortless. Together, these
innovations reflect Liebherr&#039;s commitment to making everyday living more at
ease and efficient through thoughtful engineering.

The
company has also launched 380L and 400L refrigerators. Volumes to cater to a
wider market’s needs, four newly curated premium finishes to complement
contemporary kitchen interiors.

The
innovation roadmap received an encouraging response from the distributor
community, reinforcing confidence in Liebherr Appliances India&#039;s long-term
strategy and continued focus on delivering differentiated premium refrigeration
solutions tailored to the evolving needs of Indian consumers.

While
sharing an experience of this meet, distributor partner said, &quot;The Annual
Distributor Meet offered valuable insights into Liebherr Appliances India&#039;s
long-term vision for the Indian market. FreshBreeze is a truly differentiated
innovation; it solves the problems of most households that store leafy
vegetables, while the introduction of the new 380L and 400L refrigerator
volumes enables us to serve a much wider customer base. These innovations
strengthen our confidence in the brand and create exciting opportunities for
growth in our region.&quot;

As
India&#039;s premium home appliance market continues to evolve, Liebherr Appliances
India remains focused on driving category growth through innovation, design
excellence and strong channel partnerships. Backed by an expanding portfolio of

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/gong-opens-in-bandra-as-speciality-restaurants-limited-unveils-its-new-age-pan-asian-flagship-in-mumbai</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Speciality Restaurants Limited, one of
India’s most established hospitality groups and the company behind iconic
brands such as Mainland China, Oh! Calcutta and Asia Kitchen by Mainland China,
announces the launch of Gong in Bandra, its latest premium dining destination
in Mumbai.

The launch of Gong marks a strategic new
chapter for Speciality Restaurants Limited as it continues to evolve its
portfolio through contemporary, innovation-led formats designed for the next
generation of diners. Rooted in progressive Pan Asian cuisine, immersive
interiors, and elevated hospitality, Gong reflects the group’s forward-looking
approach while staying anchored in the strong operational foundations and
culinary legacy that have defined the company for decades.

From Avik Chatterjee, Director &amp; CEO
- Speciality Restaurants Limited, &quot;Gong represents the future of
hospitality experiences where food, design, culture, emotion and sound come
together seamlessly. To me, hospitality has never been just about the plate,
it&#039;s about how a space makes you feel the moment you walk in, and that
philosophy has shaped everything we&#039;ve built at Speciality Restaurants over the
years. Today&#039;s diners are looking for more than a meal, they are looking for
energy, identity and memorable experiences. With Gong, we wanted to build a
concept that feels globally relevant yet deeply connected to Mumbai&#039;s dynamic
dining culture. It is a strong reflection of how we see the next phase of
growth for Speciality Restaurants Limited, through innovation, relevance and
long-term brand building.&quot; 

Speciality Restaurants Limited: A Legacy Reinventing
for the Future

With a strong legacy in Indian
hospitality, Speciality Restaurants Limited has built some of the country’s
most recognisable restaurant brands across multiple dining formats. From
pioneering premium Chinese dining with Mainland China to celebrating regional
Indian cuisine through Oh! Calcutta, the company has consistently shaped
consumer dining preferences through quality, consistency and category leadership.

Now, with Gong, the group enters a new
phase focused on design-led concepts, modern consumer behaviour, and globally
benchmarked dining experiences.

Gong: A New Benchmark in Premium Pan Asian Dining

Located in the heart of Bandra, Gong has
been envisioned as a high-energy yet refined Pan Asian dining destination where
cuisine, design and atmosphere come together seamlessly. Designed by Sumessh
Menon Associates and inspired by the philosophy of Asian [Sound] Soul,
the restaurant features a contemporary setting with brass and bronze accents,
earthy textures, bespoke lighting, and distinct indoor and outdoor spaces
tailored for Mumbai’s premium dining audience.



The culinary programme is led by Chef
Sahil Singh, Chief of Culinary &amp; Operations – Innovation &amp; New Formats
at Speciality Restaurants Limited. With experience across India and
international markets, Chef Sahil brings a globally informed perspective
focused on progressive Pan Asian cuisine, bold flavours, clean execution, and a
modern guest-centric sensibility.

Strategic Growth Through New Formats

The launch of Gong highlights Speciality
Restaurants Limited&#039;s continued investment in future-ready hospitality concepts
under the leadership of Avik Chatterjee. Gong also marks a new, efficient
format for the company, designed for higher APC, optimised space and faster
table turnarounds, making it a scalable model for the future. As changing
consumer behaviour drives demand for experiential dining, the company is
focused on building formats that combine culinary credibility, strong brand
identity and scalable long-term potential.

With an existing portfolio that includes
Mainland China, Oh! Calcutta, Asia Kitchen by Mainland China, Sigree,
Hoppipola, Episode One, Sweet Bengal, Walters and other concepts across India
and international markets, the company remains uniquely positioned to serve
multiple audience segments while expanding into new categories.

A Vision for the Next Era of Dining

Gong has been created for the modern
diner who values experience as much as cuisine. With its combination of
progressive Pan Asian influences, thoughtful design and premium hospitality,
the restaurant signals the direction in which Speciality Restaurants Limited
sees the future of urban dining in India.

<title>Mumbai Witnesses a Night of Honour: Mustafa Yusufali Gom Receives Vagdhara Samman 2026 from Telangana Governor</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/mumbai-witnesses-a-night-of-honour-mustafa-yusufali-gom-receives-vagdhara-samman-2026-from-telangana-governor</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/mumbai-witnesses-a-night-of-honour-mustafa-yusufali-gom-receives-vagdhara-samman-2026-from-telangana-governor</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

When service meets
vision, the nation takes notice and Mumbai felt that pulse last evening at the
Mukti Auditorium, Andheri West, as social worker and author Mustafa Yusufali Gom was
conferred the prestigious Vagdhara Samman 2026 by His Excellency Shri
Shiv Pratap Shukla, Governor of Telangana.

 

A
Welcome Fit for Changemakers

The evening opened with
ceremony and warmth. Governor Shukla was received at the gates by a reception
committee of Acharya Pawan Tripathi, media stalwart Upendra Rai, and Mustafa
Yusufali Gom himself — a powerful frame of governance, media, and grassroots
service standing together.

 

Words
That Shape a Nation

On stage, the moment
turned literary. Mr. Gom presented the Governor with his acclaimed book “Narendra Modi Samvad: Naye
Bharat Ka Sankalp”. The exchange wasn’t just symbolic it was a
passing of ideas. The Governor lauded the work for capturing the spirit of a
transforming India, drawing applause from the packed hall of intellectuals and
citizens.

 

The
Honour That Mattered

The high point came as
Governor Shukla presented the Vagdhara Samman 2026 to Mr. Mustafa
Yusufali Gom. The award celebrates relentless community service, social
upliftment, and an unwavering commitment to national progress. For years, Gom’s
welfare initiatives have touched lives across Mumbai, and this honour cements
his role as a bridge between compassion and action.

 

In his thank-you note,
Mr. Gom credited Dr. Vageesh Saraswat, President of Vagdhara, and the
management team for orchestrating an event that was equal parts grand and
meaningful.

 

Power,
Purpose, and People All Under One Roof

The auditorium hosted a
galaxy of voices shaping India’s narrative:

Shri
Shiv Pratap Shukla – Hon’ble Governor, Telangana

Acharya
Pawan Tripathi – Treasurer, Shri Siddhivinayak Temple Trust
&amp; Gen Sec, BJP Mumbai

Shri
Upendra Rai – CMD &amp; Editor-in-Chief, Bharat Express
News Network

Dr.
Vageesh Saraswat – President, Vagdhara

Adv.
Bhargav Tiwari – General Secretary, Vagdhara

 

Why
This Matters

The Vagdhara Samman
isn’t just an award. It’s a spotlight on those who choose service over self. With
this recognition, Mustafa Yusufali Gom emerges not only as a leading voice in
Mumbai’s social and literary circles, but as a call to action for India’s youth
— to write, to serve, to build.

 

In a city that never
sleeps, last night Mumbai paused — to honour a man who works while others
dream.

<title>Arunkumar Raman&amp;apos;s Hotel Growth Hub Leads India&amp;apos;s AI&#45;Powered Hotel Growth Summit&#45; IGNITE 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Chennai
| July 2026: India&#039;s hospitality industry is entering a new
era.

Artificial
Intelligence, Google Search, changing traveller behaviour, and increasing
dependence on Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) are redefining how hotels attract
guests and grow their business. While large hotel brands continue to invest
heavily in technology and digital marketing, thousands of independent hotels
are searching for practical ways to remain competitive.

To
address this growing need, Hotel Growth Hub,
one of India&#039;s fastest-growing learning communities for hotel owners, is
bringing together hospitality leaders, hotel owners and innovators from across
the country at Hotel Growth Summit – IGNITE 2026,
to be held on 20–21 July 2026 at Trident Chennai.

The
summit is expected to welcome hotel owners, entrepreneurs, general managers and
hospitality professionals representing hotels from different parts of India.
Unlike conventional hospitality conferences that primarily focus on operations,
IGNITE 2026 has been designed to help hotel owners build future-ready
businesses through technology, Artificial Intelligence, digital marketing,
guest experience, automation, reputation management and direct booking
strategies.

The
event will feature successful hotel owners from within the Hotel Growth Hub
community sharing practical case studies, proven growth strategies and real
business transformations that other hoteliers can implement in their own
properties.

Speaking
about the vision behind the summit, Arunkumar Raman,
Founder of Hotel Growth Hub and Hotel Growth Coach, said:

&quot;India has some of
the world&#039;s most passionate hotel owners. But passion alone is no longer
enough. Hotels need visibility, technology, automation and a strong direct
booking ecosystem to succeed. Our mission is to help independent hotel owners
build businesses that are future-ready, profitable and less dependent on
third-party platforms.&quot;

Founded
with a mission to empower 100,000 hotel owners, Hotel Growth Hub has
grown into a collaborative learning community where hospitality professionals
share knowledge, implement modern growth systems and support one another in
adapting to the rapidly evolving hospitality landscape.

Members
of the community are already implementing strategies such as improving Google
Business Profile visibility, increasing guest reviews, creating AI-generated
marketing content, automating guest communication, strengthening their online
reputation and generating more direct enquiries.

IGNITE
2026 will also serve as a platform for networking, collaboration and
recognition, celebrating hotel owners who are embracing innovation and leading
change within the hospitality industry.

As
India&#039;s tourism sector continues to grow, initiatives such as Hotel Growth
Summit are helping independent hotels embrace digital transformation and
prepare for the future of hospitality.

Registrations
for the summit are currently open for Hotel Growth Hub community members.

About Hotel Growth Hub

Hotel
Growth Hub is a leading learning community dedicated to empowering independent
hotel owners across India. Founded by Hotel Growth Coach Arunkumar Raman,
the community helps hotels increase visibility, improve Google rankings,
generate direct bookings, implement AI-powered marketing, automate sales
processes and build sustainable long-term growth through practical education,
coaching and collaboration.

Raman is a Hotel Growth Coach, hospitality
entrepreneur, and Founder of Hotel Growth Hub. With over 25 years of
experience in the hotel industry across India and the Middle East, he is on a

<title>US Staffing Firm PTP Introduces Rebecca AI in India to solve hiring challenges</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/us-staffing-firm-ptp-introduces-rebecca-ai-in-india-to-solve-hiring-challenges</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/us-staffing-firm-ptp-introduces-rebecca-ai-in-india-to-solve-hiring-challenges</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Peterson Technology Partners (PTP), a
Chicago staffing firm with more than three decades of experience supporting
employers across the globe, has launched an AI recruitment agent in India,
Rebecca AI following successful deployments with U.S. clients. Rebecca AI, PTP’s all-star AI
recruiter, helps hiring teams automate first-round interviews, applicant
evaluation, and reporting at scale. PTP has launched their agent to India now,
providing businesses, IT staffing agencies and recruiting agencies with a
method to compress first-round screening from many weeks down to one single
day.

Three
Decades of Hiring Experience, One Agent to Change It

Founded
in 1997 by CEO Nick Shah, Peterson Technology Partners (PTP) has spent nearly
three decades connecting technology talent with Fortune 100 companies in
Chicago and across the United States. Over that time, the company has also
expanded its recruiting and consulting footprint globally, supporting clients
and hiring programs across the world. That broader exposure has given PTP
firsthand experience with the scale, urgency, and volume-driven complexity that
define hiring in markets like India.

Today,
job postings often receive between 400-600 applications within 24 hours. The
time to fill an open position can vary from 30-60 days. India is experiencing
record levels of people applying for jobs in the IT sector due to the sheer
size of the Indian IT workforce, making them able to handle volumes that most other
job markets cannot. Recruiters often find themselves hitting a wall while
manually processing large volumes of applications; therefore, the queue
continues to increase without end.



To
solve these challenges, PTP built Rebecca AI, its AI recruiting platform shaped
by 30 years of talent acquisition experience, with two core workstreams:
AI-generated video interviews customized to suit each candidate, and automated
hiring processes for candidate outreach, text message follow-ups,
pre-qualifying phone calls, and video interviews with selected candidates. It
enables companies to have a timely and uniform experience from first touch to
deemed categories of hires.

“Rebecca
AI is most effective when it’s part of a broader AI strategy and integrated
tech stack that automates and improves hiring workflows,” said Nick Shah, CEO
and founder of Peterson Technology Partners. “When AI conducts video interviews
on your behalf, you’re no longer limited to evaluating a paper resume. You are
seeing and hearing from the individual about their work experience in their own
words. When you get results of communication skills, presentation skills,
technical skills, or strengths and weaknesses, the data adds value over the
traditional resume format. AI will not be replacing humans but will allow you
to focus on the 20% of daily activity that provides 80% of results,” said Nick.

Rebecca
AI Recruiting Agent Simplifies First-Round Hiring Workflows

Rebecca
is a voice AI-powered interview tool that offers a personalized solution to help
automate and perform interviews at scale. When an individual applies for a
position, the system will automatically create a unique, customized interview
tailored to the job description and applicant&#039;s resume. Once the interview has
been created, Rebecca AI sends the applicant an individual interview link that
allows them to conduct the interview on their own time, rather than having to
work with a recruiter. 

During
the interview process, Rebecca AI utilizes conversations as the primary format
of conducting interviews and adjusts its follow-up questions on-the-fly, based
on the answers provided by the applicant. Following the conclusion of the
interview process, Rebecca AI creates a report that includes all the data
collected in the interview process. This report includes a score indicating how
well the applicant matches the job position being interviewed for, a full audio
recording of the interview, and a PDF report supplementing the previously
described data.

In
addition to creating personalized interviews, the Rebecca AI can conduct live
coding assessments for technical positions. The platform integrates with more
than 42 ATS systems including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, Oracle
Taleo, Lever, Ashby, and Rippling.

The
Data Behind Rebecca AI

Rebecca
AI has processed 11,833 candidates and delivered measurable recruiting
efficiency at scale:

●       
5,096 candidates advanced as qualified 

●       
6,358 candidates screened out 

●       
4,891 candidate phone calls triggered 

●       
2,005 interviews scheduled 

●       
746 interviews completed without a recruiter
present 

Across
other Rebecca AI deployments, the platform has reduced time to hire by up to
80% and costs to hire by up to 60%.

Candidates
who have engaged with Rebecca AI, rate their experience consistently at 4.6 out
of 5 stars and frequently comment on her being very natural and non-intrusive
compared to many of the previous human-led screens. 

Rebecca
AI also addresses one of today’s biggest recruiting challenges: the application
“black hole.” With Rebecca AI, candidates will get timely updates on their
application along with a structured screening process and clear communication
regarding their status. It leads to fewer drop-offs for employers and a more
organized candidate&#039;s pipeline. Candidates can track their progress at every
stage of the hiring pipeline, that creates greater visibility into their
application status while creating a more transparent experience and strengthens
the employer brand.

Built
to Be Trusted

Rebecca
AI is SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, and ISO 27001 certified. Peterson Technology Partners
also complies with the applicable requirements of India&#039;s Digital Personal Data
Protection (DPDP) Act, ensuring that candidate personal data is collected,
processed, stored, and managed in accordance with India&#039;s evolving privacy and
data protection framework. Every candidate is evaluated against the same
structured rubric, in the same order, without fatigue-driven variation between
a Monday morning and a Friday afternoon. Candidates are informed at the start of
every call that the interviewer is AI, and consent is logged throughout.

About
Peterson Technology Partners

Peterson
Technology Partners LLC (PTP) was founded in 1997 by CEO Nick Shah, who named
the company after Chicago’s historic Peterson Avenue. Since then, PTP has grown
to one of the leading Information Technology consulting and staffing firms in
the world, with close to 30 years of experience recruiting Technology
Professionals for Fortune 100 companies and many rapidly growing companies. PTP

and Asia and employs over 350 employees globally. Services include expertise in
the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Data Science,

<title>He Patient Capital Shift: Why Princess Jahanvi Kumari Mewar’s Endorsement of Bihar Matters</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/he-patient-capital-shift-why-princess-jahanvi-kumari-mewars-endorsement-of-bihar-matters</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/he-patient-capital-shift-why-princess-jahanvi-kumari-mewars-endorsement-of-bihar-matters</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In the world of high
finance, presence is often confused with prestige. Yet, at GTRi 6.0’s opening
session on the &quot;Financial Architecture of Bihar&quot; in Patna, the most
significant contribution came not from a physical presence, but from a
deliberate, strategic message. Princess Jahanvi Kumari Mewar, a prominent
investor and family office strategist, chose to lend her voice to the discourse
on Bihar’s economic future.

As analyst Aditi Nandan
notes, in the ecosystem of wealth management, a family office does not move on
headlines or hype; it moves on conviction. Unlike the &quot;impatient&quot;
capital of venture funds that chase rapid exits, family office capital is
defined by its long-term horizon. It is institutional in discipline but
personal in its multi-generational scope. When a strategist of Princess Jahnavi
stature chooses to publicly associate with Bihar’s financial narrative, it is
not merely a gesture—it is a calculated signal to the private wealth circles of
India.

Moving Beyond the
&quot;Developmental&quot; Register

For years, the
discourse around Bihar has been trapped in a binary: either purely
developmental (schemes and subsidies) or defensive (justifying what the state
is not). Aditi Nandan highlights that Bihar has long needed a third register:
the language of &quot;investability.&quot;

This transition
involves shifting the focus to balance sheets, sectoral depth, logistics
corridors, and capital markets participation. By participating in this
dialogue, Princess Jahnavi has helped shift the lens from &quot;opportunity
theatre&quot; to &quot;structural analysis.&quot; For an investor whose day job
is to allocate patient capital, Bihar is no longer just a geography to ignore;
it is becoming a territory for long-duration portfolio consideration.

The Power of
Institutional Conviction

Why does this matter?
Because wealth networks are notoriously private and word-of-mouth. A public
endorsement from a figure like Princess Jahanvi Kumari Mewar acts as a
catalyst. It tells other family offices—the most selective, slowest, and
smartest money in the country—that the thesis for Bihar is maturing.

As Aditi Nandan
articulates, this is the difference between a compliment and a commitment of
attention. When patient capital begins to &quot;look east,&quot; it signals
that the structural risks are being mitigated and the foundation for long-term
growth is being laid. The message sent by the Princess Jahnavi in Patna was
clear: Bihar’s financial architecture is no longer a peripheral topic; it is an
emerging reality in the Indian investment landscape.

A New Chapter for Bihar

The audience at GTRi
6.0 witnessed a pivotal moment. By aligning her professional reputation with
Bihar’s growth story, Princess Mewar has provided the state with the most
valuable currency in finance: credibility.

As the narrative
shifts, the question for domestic and global investors is no longer &quot;Why
Bihar?&quot; but rather &quot;Who else is paying attention?&quot; The
groundwork has been laid, the patient money is taking note, and the new
financial story of Bihar is being written not just by bureaucrats, but by those
who understand the value of long-term, durable wealth.

This analysis is rooted
in the perspectives and detailed observations of Aditi Nandan. To explore more

<description><![CDATA[ Tenkasi,
Tamil Nadu : PUTHIYASARAL FOUNDATION, a nonprofit
organization dedicated to inclusive and sustainable community development, has
announced an extensive roadmap of initiatives aimed at improving the lives of
underprivileged and marginalized communities across rural India. Through a
comprehensive approach encompassing rural development, education, healthcare,
yoga, meditation, de-addiction and social welfare, the Foundation seeks to
create long-term socio-economic transformation at the grassroots level.

Operating

FOUNDATION is focused on empowering communities by creating opportunities for
education, livelihood generation, health awareness, and holistic well-being.
The organization is actively working to bridge developmental gaps by
implementing programs that address some of the most pressing challenges faced
by rural populations.

As
part of its rural development and livelihood initiatives, the Foundation is
promoting skill development and vocational training programs for youth, women,
and unemployed individuals. Entrepreneurship development projects, employment
generation efforts, and support for self-help groups are being undertaken to
encourage self-reliance and economic empowerment. The Foundation is also
supporting rural infrastructure development, including access to clean drinking
water, sanitation facilities, housing assistance, road connectivity, and
renewable energy solutions.

Recognizing
the importance of sustainable agriculture in rural prosperity, PUTHIYASARAL

<title>Pharmed Limited Enters Asia Book of Records with 10,451 Doctors Pledging to Screen and Manage Sarcopenia</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/pharmed-limited-enters-asia-book-of-records-with-10451-doctors-pledging-to-screen-and-manage-sarcopenia</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/pharmed-limited-enters-asia-book-of-records-with-10451-doctors-pledging-to-screen-and-manage-sarcopenia</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

On
this World Sarcopenia Day, observed annually on 4th July, Pharmed Limited, a
leading pharmaceutical company based in Bengaluru, India, has set a new
benchmark in healthcare, earning a place in the Asia Book of Records. As
India&#039;s elderly population grows at an unprecedented pace, the record
recognises an extraordinary commitment from 10,451 doctors to screen and manage
Sarcopenia — the progressive, age-related loss of muscle mass and strength — in
their elderly, chronic disease, and patients post-surgery .

The
record-breaking pledge marks a significant milestone in the company&#039;s efforts
to promote healthy ageing and improve quality of life nationwide. The award was
presented at Pharmed&#039;s corporate office in Bengaluru, with Dr Manohar KN, a
renowned Consultant Physician and Diabetologist from Bangalore, attending as
the guest of honour, alongside the Asia Book of Records team and members of
Pharmed.

On
the importance of early sarcopenia screening, Dr Manohar said, &quot;Sarcopenia
is one of the most under-recognised yet clinically significant conditions
affecting adults, particularly the elderly. While its impact on ageing,
frailty, falls, fractures, and loss of independence is well established, its
pivotal role in metabolic disease is only now coming into sharp focus. Skeletal
muscle is increasingly recognised as an endocrine organ, making muscle health
central to metabolic health. The future of metabolic medicine will extend
beyond controlling blood sugar or body weight to preserving and restoring
muscle mass and strength. Emerging therapies that target muscle health are
likely to transform the management of diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic
disorders.&quot;

&quot;This
record commitment from 10,451 doctors is not just a number; it represents a
collective commitment to the health and independence of our ageing population.
At Pharmed, we believe in driving meaningful change in healthcare. This
initiative reflects our dedication to addressing critical, under-recognised
health issues like sarcopenia and our continued efforts to support muscle
health, healthy ageing, and better recovery — working hand in hand with
healthcare professionals to make a real difference,&quot;
added Kashmiri Lal Kapoor, Director of Operations at Pharmed.

India
is home to one of the world&#039;s fastest-growing elderly populations, and with
this demographic shift comes a rising burden of sarcopenia. According to the
first Indian consensus on sarcopenia, published in 2025, the prevalence of
primary sarcopenia ranges from 14.2% to 39.2% in adults — meaning roughly four
out of 10 adults, and three out of 100 young adults, are affected. Ageing,
combined with India&#039;s high prevalence of diabetes, a sedentary lifestyle,
chronic inflammation, and poor nutritional status, places millions at risk of
significant muscle loss, which can lead to falls, prolonged hospital stays,
poorer surgical outcomes, and reduced quality of life. With the consensus
recommending screening for all patients with comorbidities, monitoring every
three to six months depending on severity, and resistance training combined
with oral nutritional supplementation to prevent and manage the condition,
early intervention has become an urgent public health priority.

Pharmed
is leading the way in India — supporting effective sarcopenia management
through evidence-based, quality nutritional supplementation and patient
education initiatives such as its Care for Muscles programme, while
collaborating with doctors to promote the right screening techniques,
sarcopenia awareness, exercise modules, and more. This recognition marks an
important milestone in its mission. By securing commitments from so many
doctors, Pharmed aims to make muscle health screening a routine part of care
for elderly, diabetic, and post-surgical patients, and to create a significant
impact on healthy ageing across the country. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Expanding
access to certified PPE across Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets while advancing
workplace safety awareness nationwide

New
Delhi, 07 July, 2026: KARAM Safety,
a global leader in personal protective equipment (PPE) and fall protection
solutions, has achieved a significant milestone by expanding its retail
footprint to over 800 stores across India. Building on this momentum, the
company has announced plans to expand its reach to over 2 lakh hardware and
paint shops nationwide, further strengthening access to certified workplace
safety products across urban, semi-urban, and rural markets.

Since
launching its Retail Division in 2021, KARAM Safety has steadily expanded its
presence nationwide, with a strong focus on Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. Over the
past five years, the company has built a robust retail ecosystem spanning
hardware, tools, welding, sanitary ware, and paint stores, helping make
workplace safety products more accessible to workers, contractors, and small
businesses. Supported by a dedicated network of Sales Executives, Area Sales
Managers, and Regional Sales Managers, the company continues to strengthen
market development, customer engagement, and product availability across India.

KARAM
Safety offers a comprehensive portfolio of PPE solutions, including safety
helmets, protective eyewear, safety shoes, industrial gloves, cut-resistant
sleeves, safety harnesses, and lanyards, catering to the safety needs of
workers across industries.

Commenting
on the milestone, Mr. Hemant Sapra, President, Global Sales and Marketing,
KARAM Safety, said, &quot;Reaching 800 retail stores is a significant
milestone in KARAM Safety&#039;s journey to make workplace safety more accessible
across India. Safety should not be limited to large industrial centres; it must
reach every worker, irrespective of location. Our retail expansion has enabled
us to bring certified safety solutions closer to underserved markets, helping
strengthen safety awareness and encouraging the adoption of quality PPE at the
grassroots level. This achievement reinforces our commitment to building a
stronger safety culture across the country.&quot;

Further
strengthening its omnichannel approach, KARAM Safety has expanded access to
workplace safety products through KARAM Safety Online,
its dedicated e-commerce platform.
The online store offers a wide range of certified PPE products, including
safety helmets, gloves, eyewear, footwear, and fall protection equipment,
enabling customers across India to access industrial-grade safety solutions
with greater convenience. By complementing its growing retail network with a
digital platform, the company is ensuring wider availability of safety products
while supporting informed purchasing decisions and safety awareness among
individual users, small businesses, and enterprises alike.

The
retail expansion supports KARAM Safety&#039;s vision of building a sustainable and
scalable B2C business model. Unlike traditional industry players that primarily
rely on industrial distributors and B2B procurement channels, the company has
focused on expanding access to industrial-grade PPE through hyper-local retail
networks. This approach has also helped create awareness and adoption among
non-traditional customer segments, including pesticide dealers, rural brick
manufacturers, and cement dealers.

Speaking
on the achievement, Mr. Rajesh Nigam, President, Technical, KARAM Safety,
said, &quot;Our retail expansion has been driven by a clear objective to make
industrial-grade safety products easily available where people work and live.
The support of our channel partners, distributors, and retailers has been
instrumental in helping KARAM Safety scale rapidly and reach new customer segments.
Beyond traditional industrial markets, we have successfully expanded awareness
among diverse customer groups, significantly broadening the reach of workplace
safety products across the country.&quot;

The
company continues to strengthen retailer engagement through initiatives such as
its loyalty rewards programme while working closely with channel partners,
dealers, and distributors who have played a critical role in expanding its
retail footprint.

The
800-store milestone marks another important step in KARAM Safety&#039;s mission to
advance a Zero Harm culture by making certified safety solutions accessible to
every worker. As the company works towards its goal of reaching over 2 lakh
hardware and paint shops across India, it remains committed to fostering a
culture of prevention, protection, and progress across the nation&#039;s workforce.

<title>Shark Tank India Fame GAON Raises Rs10 Crore to Build India&amp;apos;s Largest Regional Food Brand</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/shark-tank-india-fame-gaon-raises-rs10-crore-to-build-indias-largest-regional-food-brand</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/shark-tank-india-fame-gaon-raises-rs10-crore-to-build-indias-largest-regional-food-brand</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi | July 2026 : GAON, the regional food startup that captured national attention after
its appearance on Shark Tank India Season 4, has announced the successful
closure of a funding round of nearly ₹10 crore, marking the largest fundraise
in the company&#039;s journey and one of the most significant investments into an
emerging regional Indian food brand.

The round has been led by a UAE-based Family Office, with
participation from a former senior executive of the Indian Angel Network (IAN)
at 50 crore valuation, alongside institutional debt from Indifi, InCred,
Velocity and Yes Bank. The fundraise follows GAON&#039;s investment on Shark Tank
India by Vineeta Singh and Anupam Mittal, reinforcing investor confidence in the
company&#039;s long-term vision.

For founder Alok Ranjan, however, this milestone represents far more
than capital.

&quot;This isn&#039;t just a funding announcement. It&#039;s validation of a
dream we&#039;ve spent almost a decade rebuilding.&quot;

Founded with the belief that India&#039;s regional cuisines deserve the
same scale and recognition as global fast-food brands, GAON has grown from a
single regional food concept into one of the country&#039;s fastest-growing regional
food startups.

To date, the company has generated more than ₹50 crore in lifetime
sales, served over one million customers, sold more than two million Littis,
and helped introduce authentic Bihari cuisine to urban consumers across India.

The fresh capital will accelerate GAON&#039;s transformation into a
QSR-led, D2C-first regional food company, while expanding its packaged foods
portfolio and experience-led retail formats.

A Decade of Starting Over

GAON&#039;s story has never been a straight line.

Founded in 2017, the company crossed its first major revenue
milestones before nearly losing everything in its early years.

It rebuilt.

Then COVID-19 disrupted the business once again.

It rebuilt again.

By 2025, GAON had crossed ₹9 crore in annual revenue, emerging as one
of India&#039;s fastest-growing regional food brands.

Now, with fresh capital in place, the company believes it is entering
its strongest chapter yet.

&quot;Every time we fell, people assumed it was the end. Every setback
forced us to build a better business. This funding isn&#039;t the finish line—it&#039;s
the beginning of our biggest chapter.&quot;

Building India&#039;s Largest Regional Food Company

The company will deploy the new capital across four strategic
priorities:

●Expanding experience-led QSR outlets across selected Indian cities.

●Building a national D2C business.

●Launching packaged regional food products including Litti, Sattu,
Thekua, Chutneys and other traditional Indian foods.

●Strengthening technology, manufacturing and supply-chain
capabilities.

GAON believes India is witnessing a structural shift in consumer
demand, with increasing preference for authentic, convenient and trustworthy
traditional foods. Yet regional Indian cuisines remain significantly
underrepresented compared to other food categories.

The company sees this gap as one of the country&#039;s largest untapped
consumer opportunities.

&quot;We don&#039;t just want to build restaurants. We want to build
India&#039;s largest regional food company.&quot;

More Than Just Litti

While GAON first became known for popularising Litti Chokha, the
company today is building a much broader platform around regional Indian foods.

Its long-term ambition is to become the most trusted national brand
for authentic foods from Bihar, Purvanchal and other underserved culinary
regions.

The founders believe products such as Sattu, Thekua, traditional
chutneys, ready-to-cook mixes and everyday regional staples have the potential
to create entirely new categories within India&#039;s packaged food market.

&quot;Our dream has never been to sell one product. Our dream has
always been to make regional Indian food mainstream.&quot;

Why Investors Backed GAON

According to the company, the investment reflects confidence not only
in the market opportunity but also in the team&#039;s resilience.

Over nine years, GAON has navigated operational challenges, the COVID
pandemic, changing consumer behaviour and multiple business pivots, using each
setback to refine its business model rather than pursue unsustainable growth.

&quot;We&#039;ve made mistakes. We&#039;ve learned from them. The business we&#039;re
building today exists because of those lessons.&quot;

Looking Ahead

Over the next few years, GAON plans to significantly expand its
omnichannel presence across QSR, D2C and FMCG, while strengthening its
manufacturing and distribution network.

Alongside GAON, the founders are also developing DUMARA, an Indianised
biryani QSR concept designed for younger consumers.

The company&#039;s mission remains unchanged:

To make Litti the next Samosa of India while building India&#039;s most
loved regional food brand.

&quot;This funding allows us to dream bigger, but our purpose remains
exactly the same—to take the authentic flavours of rural India to every city,
every home and, one day, every corner of the world.&quot;

About GAON

Founded in November 2017 by Alok Ranjan along with his brothers Rajesh
Chandra, Aryan Raj and Deepak Kumar, with Shashank Shree later joining the
founding team, GAON was created to bring authentic regional Indian food into
the mainstream.What began in Champaran, Bihar, has grown into one of India&#039;s
most inspiring food brand success stories. GAON rose to national prominence by
getting a multi shark deal on shark tank india last year and  scaling to
over ₹9 crore in revenue within just four years, proving that regional flavors
can achieve mainstream commercial success while staying true to their roots.

<description><![CDATA[  

New York–born, lab-grown diamond
fine jewellery brand Verlas is now in India with a luxe, modern, design-led,
and digital-first experience at www.verlas.in

National,
July 07, 2026: Verlas, a New York–born fine jewellery brand
launches its India operations, bringing design-led and modern lab-grown diamond
jewellery in gold to one of the world’s most dynamic jewellery markets.
Entering as a digital-first brand, Verlas aims to redefine how Indians
discover, wear, and value diamonds, moving the conversation beyond wedding
lockers to designs crafted for real, everyday life.​

Launching at a time when India is emerging as
a global leader in lab-grown diamonds and digital luxury, Verlas positions
itself as a global, design-led brand rather than a traditional Indian jeweller.
The brand focuses on clean, minimal, internationally inspired designs crafted
in fine gold, using certified lab-grown diamonds to offer fine jewellery
that is aspirational yet accessible. With online-first pricing starting from ₹3,000, Verlas is built for
the generation that shops, researches, and builds trust primarily online.​

“India does not need just another lab-grown
diamond brand; it needs a global, design-first diamond brand that understands
how people actually live, dress, and express themselves today,”
said the Founder of Verlas. 

The founder further added that, “Today&#039;s
Indian consumers are ready for diamond jewellery that fits their lives, not
just their lockers. They want elegant, dainty designs they can wear to a
meeting, a brunch, a flight, or a dinner date, without waiting for a big
occasion. We are entering India not to sell lab-grown diamonds as a novelty,
but to show how beautifully designed, certified lab-grown diamond jewellery
styles can become part of daily wardrobes. Our New York design sensibility,
combined with India’s deep connection to diamonds, allows Verlas to offer
something truly new: modern, global luxury made for everyday wear.’’

The aim behind the India launch is to present
Verlas as a New York–born fine jewellery brand with a modern lab-grown diamond
vision tailored for India. Spotlighting IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds, BIS
hallmarked fine gold craftsmanship, and a smooth e-commerce experience that
makes buying diamonds clearer and more transparent. Early conversations will
centre on India’s growing appetite for wearable diamond jewellery, the rise of
lab-grown diamonds as aspirational luxury, and how Verlas’ digital-first model
fits new buying habits. 

 

The brand’s credibility is further
strengthened by its independent sustainability recognitions, including the
Butterfly Mark from Positive Luxury and SCS Global Services certification,
reinforcing its commitment to responsible sourcing and verified standards.

 

Verlas’ entry also taps into a broader shift
in the Indian market, where lab-grown diamonds are gaining traction as a
responsible, value-driven, and design-forward choice. By normalising lab-grown
diamonds firmly within the fine jewellery category rather than as a compromise,
Verlas aims to help shape the next chapter of India’s diamond story.

About Verlas

Verlas was born in New York with a simple
belief: fine jewelry should feel personal, meaningful, and right for today’s
world. At its heart are IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds created with care,
clarity, and purpose set in solid 9K/14K gold. Each Verlas design is designed
not as a distant treasure, but as something to live with daily to mark small
moments, big milestones, and everything in between. The brand’s design language
mirrors the city it comes from: intuitive, modern, and deeply considered. By
working directly with its community, Verlas redefines the traditional jewelry
experience, making it more transparent, approachable, and aligned with
conscious values. As Verlas steps into its next phase of growth, it is quietly
preparing to make its presence felt in new markets, with India soon to welcome
the brand. We proudly bear the Butterfly Mark by Positive Luxury—the global
gold standard for sustainable excellence.

<title>Expert Awareness: The Impact of Modern Stress on Your Brain</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/expert-awareness-the-impact-of-modern-stress-on-your-brain</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Understanding the Hidden Neurological Impact of Chronic Stress at Sri
Ramakrishna Hospital: Modern medicine is
increasingly recognizing a powerful truth: chronic stress does not stay only in
the mind. It affects the brain, nervous system, hormones, sleep cycles,
immunity, memory, emotional regulation, and even long-term physical health.

At Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, our specialists are witnessing a growing
rise in stress-related neurological symptoms among people from all walks of
life — students struggling with academic pressure, professionals facing
burnout, homemakers carrying emotional overload, entrepreneurs under constant
performance stress and elderly individuals silently cope with anxiety,
loneliness, and sleep disturbances.

The Brain under Constant Stress

Neurology experts now understand that prolonged stress can keep the
brain in a persistent “high-alert mode.” Over time, this may affect
concentration, emotional stability, sleep quality, decision-making, memory
processing, and overall neurological functioning.

What begins as “stress” may gradually present as:


 Forgetting simple
     things more often? 
 Feeling mentally
     exhausted even after sleep? 
 Constant
     headaches or heaviness in the head? 
 Sudden dizziness
     during stressful situations? 
 Difficulty
     concentrating at work or studies? 
 Feeling
     emotionally overwhelmed for no clear reason? 
 Irritability,
     over thinking, or panic sensations? 
 Disturbed sleep
     despite physical tiredness? 
 Neck tightness,
     body pain, or unexplained fatigue? 
 Feeling “switched
     on” all the time and unable to relax? 


Many individuals continue to push through these symptoms until their
work, relationships, productivity, or quality of life begins to suffer.



The Modern Brain is Overloaded

Today’s lifestyle keeps the brain constantly stimulated:


 Continuous mobile
     phone and screen exposure 
 Poor sleep
     routines 
 Long working
     hours 
 Social media
     comparison and emotional burnout 
 Academic
     competition among students 
 Pressure to constantly
     perform and succeed 
 Emotional
     suppression and unresolved trauma 
 Lack of
     meaningful relaxation and connection 


Expert-Led Integrated Neurological Wellness

At Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, we strongly believe that stress-related
neurological care should never be limited to symptom suppression alone. Our
integrated and holistic care philosophy focuses on understanding:


 What the brain is
     experiencing 
 How emotional
     stress affects neurological functioning 
 The role of
     sleep, lifestyle, and emotional health 
 The hidden impact
     of chronic stress on the body and nervous system 
 Preventive
     strategies that support long-term wellness 


Our multidisciplinary team brings together neurological expertise,
emotional wellness support, rehabilitation guidance, and lifestyle-focused
interventions to create personalized recovery pathways for every patient.

Early Intervention Can Protect Long-Term Health

Experts warn that ignoring persistent stress-related symptoms may
eventually affect both mental and physical health outcomes. Seeking timely
support can help reduce the risk of deeper neurological and emotional
complications while significantly improving daily functioning and quality of
life.

Why Integrated Neurological Care Matters

At Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, we believe neurological health cannot be
separated from emotional well-being. Our Integrated Neurological Care approach
focuses on understanding the complete picture — not just treating symptoms
temporarily.

Our multidisciplinary team helps patients through:


 Neurological
     assessment 
 Stress and
     emotional health evaluation 
 Sleep and
     cognitive wellness support 
 Lifestyle and
     burnout management 
 Psychological
     counseling and coping strategies 
 Preventive brain
     health care 
 Rehabilitation
     and wellness planning 


Why Sri Ramakrishna Hospital

Sri Ramakrishna Hospital has earned a strong reputation for excellence
in neurosciences, advanced neurological care, and integrated patient-centered
treatment. The hospital was recognized as the “Best Hospital for Cardiology
and Neurology in the Kongu Region” at the prestigious Maruthuva Viruthugal
2025 awards, highlighting its outstanding contribution to neurological and
neurocritical care services.

The hospital’s Neurosciences Centre is supported by experienced
neurologists, neurosurgeons, advanced stroke care services, rehabilitation
expertise, and modern neuro-diagnostic technology, making it one of the leading
destinations for comprehensive brain and nervous system care in the region.
Further strengthening its commitment to neurological excellence, Sri
Ramakrishna Hospital has also been certified as an Advanced Stroke Centre,
reflecting its high standards in stroke diagnosis, emergency neurological
intervention, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation care.

Your Brain Deserves Care Too

Taking care of stress is not weakness — it is preventive healthcare.
Whether you are a student struggling with pressure, a working professional
facing burnout, a caregiver carrying emotional strain or someone silently
coping with stress-related symptoms, support is available.

At Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, we are committed to helping individuals
restore balance through compassionate, evidence-based, integrated neurological
and emotional wellness care.

Because a healthier mind supports a healthier life. ]]></description>

<title>Cities are built not only through concrete, but through culture: Municipal Commissioner Ashwini Bhide at Bombay Chamber&#45;BMC Namaste Mumbai Conclave</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
July 6th, 2026: In a first-of-its-kind initiative celebrating
Mumbai&#039;s creative spirit and innovation ecosystem, the Bombay Chamber of
Commerce &amp; Industry, in collaboration with the Brihanmumbai Municipal
Corporation (BMC), hosted the Namaste Mumbai Conclave 2026 and The Grand
CivicTech Fund Quest on July 02, 2026. The day-long event brought together
senior government officials, industry leaders, academicians, creative
professionals, investors and entrepreneurs to chart a roadmap for transforming
Mumbai into a globally recognised creative capital and innovation hub.

Welcoming
the gathering, Sudhanshu Vats, President, Bombay Chamber of Commerce &amp;
Industry and Managing Director, Pidilite Industries, reflected on the Chamber&#039;s
nearly 190-year association with Mumbai&#039;s evolution and called for the city&#039;s
next phase of growth to be driven not only by infrastructure but also by
culture, tourism and collaboration.

&quot;Bombay
Chamber&#039;s story is closely interlinked with the story of Mumbai. As the city
undergoes an unprecedented infrastructure transformation, we must now equally
invest in its cultural identity, tourism and quality of life. Through Namaste
Mumbai, we hope to bring together ideas, innovation and partnerships that will
help build a more liveable, globally competitive and culturally vibrant
Mumbai,&quot; he said.

Delivering
the keynote address, Smt. Ashwini Bhide, IAS, Municipal Commissioner, BMC, said
that while Mumbai is witnessing one of the country&#039;s largest infrastructure
transformations, its next phase of growth must equally focus on strengthening
the city&#039;s creative identity, cultural vibrancy and public spaces.

&quot;Cities
are built not only through concrete but through culture. Ease of doing
business, ease of living and ease of movement are important, but a truly
liveable city also requires ease of expression. People need spaces where they
can express themselves, experience the creativity of others and participate in
the city&#039;s cultural life,&quot; she said.

Highlighting
Mumbai&#039;s unique character, she added, &quot;Creation comes out of chaos. Mumbai
has always turned its challenges into innovation and creativity. The new
infrastructure we are building must now become a foundation for nurturing the
next generation of artists, entrepreneurs and innovators.&quot;

Referring
to projects such as the Coastal Road and Metro network, she said these
investments should not only improve mobility but also create new public spaces
that enrich civic life. She called for stronger collaboration between
government and industry to build a city that is more beautiful, culturally
vibrant and globally attractive, adding that infrastructure alone cannot define
Mumbai&#039;s future.

The
conclave featured two engaging panel discussions that examined Mumbai&#039;s
identity and future opportunities.

The
first session, &quot;Branding Mumbai – One City, Many Identities,&quot;
moderated by Priyanka Sinha Jha, COO, Screen Academy; Indian Express Screen
Foundation for Excellence in Motion Pictures and Arts Technology, featured Smt.
Ashwini Bhide, IAS, Jamnadas Majethia, Actor, Director &amp; Producer, Ajit
Andhare, Chief Operating Officer, Viacom18 Motion Pictures, and Gajendra Ahire,
Producer &amp; Director. The panellists explored how Mumbai can build a unified
global brand by strengthening its heritage, theatre, cinema, public spaces and
cultural infrastructure.

The
second session, &quot;Mumbai 3.0 – The Creative Capital Opportunity,&quot;
moderated by Latha Venkatesh, Executive Editor, CNBC-TV18, brought together
Shri Vishwas Mote, Deputy Municipal Commissioner, Zone III, BMC, Dr. Indu
Shahani, Founding President &amp; Chancellor, ATLAS SkillTech University, Shri
Rajiv Jalota, Retd. IAS, Former Chairperson, Mumbai Port Authority, and Uday
Khanna, Past President, Bombay Chamber of Commerce &amp; Industry and former
Independent Director of Kotak Mahindra Bank, Castrol India, Pfizer
and Pidilite Industries.
The discussion highlighted the importance of integrating infrastructure with
culture, education, tourism and industry partnerships to position Mumbai among
the world&#039;s leading creative cities.

The
afternoon session transitioned from dialogue to action with The Grand CivicTech
Fund Quest, organised jointly by the Bombay Chamber and the BMC. Designed as a
platform to connect promising CivicTech startups with investors and civic
leaders, the initiative showcased innovative, technology-driven solutions to
address Mumbai&#039;s urban challenges.

Representing
the BMC, Shashi Bala, Chief – Business Development and Director, SMILE Council
– CivicTech Incubator of BMC, outlined the vision of the Society for Mumbai
Incubation Lab to Entrepreneurship (SMILE) Council, which was created to
nurture entrepreneurs, transform innovative ideas into sustainable businesses
and contribute to Mumbai&#039;s growth as an international business and innovation
hub. She shared that SMILE focuses on developing solutions that strengthen
civic infrastructure and public services and currently supports 24 startups,
with another 17–18 startups in the pipeline.

Highlighting
what makes the incubator unique, she said, &quot;Our vision is to nurture
entrepreneurs, transform innovative ideas into sustainable businesses and
contribute to Mumbai&#039;s growth as an international business and innovation hub.
What makes SMILE different is that startups don&#039;t just receive mentoring—they
get the opportunity to test and refine their technologies in real-life civic
situations by working closely with BMC departments, enabling solutions that can
create a meaningful impact for the city.&quot;

Ashith
Kampani, Chair, PE &amp; VC Committee, Bombay Chamber and Chairman,
CosmicMandala 15 Securities Pvt. Ltd., welcomed the finalists and jury members,
noting that the Fund Quest was conceived to bridge the gap between innovative
CivicTech startups, investors and government, enabling promising solutions to move
from ideas to implementation.

Ten
shortlisted startups presented their innovations before an eminent jury of
investors and industry leaders and were evaluated on four
parameters—Opportunity, Scalability, Capability and Monetisability. Niramai
Health Analytix Pvt. Ltd., led by Dr. Geetha Manjunath, emerged as the
CivicTech Champion, while EcoBio Consulting Pvt. Ltd. and Saltech Design Labs
Pvt. Ltd. were declared the First and Second Runners-up, respectively. In
addition to cash prizes, the top three startups will receive structured
mentorship from industry leaders to support their growth and market adoption.

The
Namaste Mumbai Conclave 2026 and The Grand CivicTech Fund Quest together
showcased a unified vision for Mumbai&#039;s future—one where creativity, culture,
innovation and entrepreneurship work hand in hand to shape the city&#039;s next
chapter. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, July 6, 2026 : Sansaar,
D&#039;Decor’s conscious luxury soft furnishings brand, has expanded into the
bedding category with the launch of its new campaign, &#039;A Great Day Starts the
Night Before,&#039; featuring Ranveer Singh. Known as the ultimate showman and
generational performer, Ranveer Singh has been the face of Sansaar since its
launch in 2024, embodying its philosophy of conscious living, exceptional
quality and purposeful design. 

Following the
successful unveiling of Sansaar’s next phase of growth at the brand’s annual
event in April 2026 at JWCC, Mumbai, the new campaign builds on that momentum
by extending the brand’s vision into the bedding category with a thoughtfully
designed collection that is lightweight, breathable and crafted to support
restful sleep. Crafted to blend comfort, quality and style, the range reflects
the brand&#039;s commitment to bring conscious luxury into everyday living. 

The
campaign highlights the importance of conscious living in one of the most
essential aspects of everyday life; sleep. As consumers increasingly seek
products that combine comfort, quality and sustainability, Sansaar&#039;s
thoughtfully crafted bedding collection encourages them to make more mindful
choices that contribute to better rest and overall well-being. 

The TVC reinforces the idea that quality sleep
begins with the choices we make every day. By placing comfort, craftsmanship,
and conscious living at its core, it brings Sansaar’s philosophy into the
bedroom. Ranveer Singh anchors the narrative, reinforcing Sansaar’s vision
through a story that is both engaging and relatable.

category, Sanjana Arora and Sarah Arora, Co-Founders, Sansaar, added,
&quot;As we enter the bedding category, this campaign brings our philosophy of
conscious living into one of the most important spaces in every home.&quot;

agency, StevePriya said, &quot;The idea was simple, a great day starts
the night before. Through Ranveer, we wanted to make conscious sleep feel
relatable, memorable and inspiring.”

<title>India&amp;apos;s Enterprise Messaging Has a New Rising Star, And It&amp;apos;s Not SMS or WhatsApp</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-enterprise-messaging-has-a-new-rising-star-and-its-not-sms-or-whatsapp</link>

<description><![CDATA[ As
businesses struggle with SMS limitations and rising WhatsApp costs, VeUp
Technologies introduces VeUp Omnichannel; a unified platform that brings SMS,
WhatsApp, and RCS together into a single intelligent messaging engine.

Bengaluru,
India: For more than a decade, enterprise messaging
has revolved around two familiar channels: SMS and WhatsApp. One offered reach.
The other offered engagement. Neither offered both.

SMS
became the default communication channel for businesses because every mobile
phone could receive it. Banks used it for OTPs, fintech companies for alerts,
healthcare providers for appointment reminders, and e-commerce brands for
delivery updates.

But
SMS came with a limitation that enterprises have been forced to work around for
years: 160 characters. As customer communication became more detailed,
personalised, and experience-driven, that limitation became increasingly
difficult to ignore.

WhatsApp
solved many of those challenges by enabling businesses to send rich media,
documents, buttons, and conversational experiences. Customer engagement
improved significantly, and enterprises embraced the platform as a modern
communication channel.

However,
as messaging volumes grew, so did costs. For businesses sending millions of
messages every month, WhatsApp&#039;s conversation-based pricing model has become a
growing operational expense.

Today,
enterprises face a difficult trade-off:

●       
Choose SMS and sacrifice richness.

●       
Choose WhatsApp and absorb higher costs.

Increasingly,
businesses are asking whether there is a better alternative.

The Answer Is RCS

Often
described as the next evolution of business messaging, RCS (Rich Communication
Services) combines the reach of carrier networks with the rich experiences
customers have come to expect from modern messaging platforms. It enables
businesses to send branded messages, images, carousels, action buttons, and
detailed content directly through the native messaging application on supported
devices.

More
importantly, it bridges the gap between SMS and WhatsApp.

Want
to see what RCS can do for your business? Contact us for a personalised
consultation with our messaging experts.

Introducing VeUp
OmniChannel

Recognising
this shift, VeUp Technologies has launched VeUp OmniChannel, a unified
communication platform that brings SMS, WhatsApp Business, and RCS together
under a single API, a single dashboard, and an intelligent routing engine.

Instead
of forcing businesses to manage multiple messaging platforms independently,
VeUp OmniChannel allows organisations to orchestrate communication across
channels from one central platform.

&quot;Businesses
shouldn&#039;t have to choose between reach, customer experience, and cost
efficiency. Modern communication requires all three, and that is exactly what
VeUp OmniChannel is designed to deliver.&quot; — VeUp Technologies
spokesperson.

See
what VeUp OmniChannel can do for your business → Request a Demo.

Intelligent Routing:
Zero Blind Spots

The
platform intelligently routes messages across SMS, WhatsApp, and RCS
based on delivery availability, business rules, and channel performance. If one
channel becomes unavailable, the platform automatically reroutes communication
through an alternative, ensuring critical customer interactions are never lost.

●       
If a WhatsApp message fails → automatically
retries through RCS or SMS

●       
If RCS is unavailable on a device → instantly
falls back to SMS

●       
If SMS delivery encounters issues → WhatsApp
or RCS step in as backup

Already Operating at
Enterprise Scale

The
platform is live and processing:

●       
150M+ messages every month

●       
5,000 transactions per second at peak load

●       
99% platform uptime

●       
99.9% OTP success rate for business-critical
authentication

A Complete
Communication Stack

VeUp
OmniChannel gives enterprises a comprehensive set of capabilities in one
environment:

●       
WhatsApp Business messaging

●       
RCS campaigns with rich media and interactive buttons

●       
DLT-compliant SMS infrastructure

●       
Campaign automation

●       
Role-based access controls

●       
Real-time analytics and detailed audit trails

Instead
of managing multiple vendors, dashboards, and APIs, enterprises gain a unified
environment for planning, executing, monitoring, and optimising customer
communication.

Business Impact Across
Industries

A
missed message doesn&#039;t just fail to deliver; it fails a customer, a
transaction, or a moment that mattered.

●     
Banks and financial institutions:
Message delivery drives onboarding, transaction verification, and repayment
collections.

●     
Healthcare providers:
Timely alerts improve patient engagement and appointment adherence.

●     
E-commerce brands:
Every delivered update or promo contributes to experience and revenue.

●     
Insurance companies:
Renewals, claims, and premium reminders depend on messages landing on time.

●     
NBFCs and lenders: EMI
reminders and collections communication affect repayment cycles.

●     
Retail and D2C:
Order and delivery updates shape post-purchase experience.

●     
Travel and logistics:
Booking and shipment alerts reduce failed deliveries and support the load.

Different
sectors, same stakes; communication has to reach the right person, at the right
time, without fail. VeUp is built to serve that need across virtually every
industry.

The Future Is
Omnichannel

As RCS adoption
continues to grow across India, VeUp Technologies believes the future of
enterprise messaging will not be defined by a single channel.

It
will be defined by how intelligently businesses use all of them together.

With
VeUp OmniChannel, that future is already here.

<title>The Rise of AI&#45;Ready Businesses: Why Having a Website Is No Longer Enough in 2026</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-rise-of-ai-ready-businesses-why-having-a-website-is-no-longer-enough-in-2026</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Primotech,
Austin’s award-winning global technology company ranked among the top 3.5% of
54,000+ IT firms worldwide by TechBehemoths, explains what an intelligent
digital presence truly means for Indian and US businesses adapting to AI.

Mohali,
India — 2026: Ten years ago, the business that had a
website had an advantage. Five years ago, the business that ranked on Google
had an advantage. 

In
2026, the business that gets cited by AI, surfaced by intelligent search, and
embedded into automated decision-making systems has the advantage. 

This
is where Primotech is leading and has been preparing its clients since the
early signals of the AI cycle became impossible to ignore. This is why they are
sharing this directly with business owners across India and the United States
about what digital presence genuinely means today, and what it needs to become.

The Problem With
&quot;Just Having a Website&quot; in 2026

The
website was the minimum viable digital presence for two decades. That model
worked because discovery happened through search engines, and search engines
rewarded the things marketers had learned to produce keyword-optimized pages,
backlinks, structured content hierarchies. That mode of discovery is now being
replaced by AI optimized pages, backlinks, structured content hierarchies. That
mode of discovery is now being replaced by AI.

Today,
AI-powered platforms including Google&#039;s AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT,
Perplexity, Grok, Claude, and Gemini are answering questions directly,
surfacing brands through citation rather than ranking, and making
recommendations without ever sending a user to a results page.

The
businesses appearing in those answers aren&#039;t there because they ranked highest.
They&#039;re there because their digital infrastructure was built to be understood,
trusted, and cited by AI systems.

What AI-Ready Actually
Means

Primotech
works with clients across the globe, and the gap between businesses that are
AI-ready and those that aren&#039;t is becoming visible in performance data faster
than most marketing teams expected.

AI-ready
businesses share a set of characteristics that go far beyond having a modern
website. Their content is structured for direct-answer formats, not just
keyword density. Their technical infrastructure includes schema markup that
makes entity relationships clear to AI systems. Their brand presence extends
across credible third-party sources, building the authority that AI platforms
recognize as trustworthy. Their customer experience layer leverages intelligent
automation to personalize interactions, qualify intent, and respond at a speed
that human-only workflows cannot match.

This
is what Primotech calls an Intelligent Business Ecosystem: a connected
architecture of technology, content, data, and AI that positions a business to
be discovered, engaged with, and acted upon across both traditional and
AI-mediated channels simultaneously.

The AI Solutions
Primotech Is Building Right Now

Building
AI-ready businesses is the active practice the company has been developing and
delivering across real enterprise engagements.

Primotech&#039;s
AI practice spans conversational AI and agent development using large language
models, RAG-based knowledge intelligence systems built on vector database
architecture, AI avatar and multimodal intelligence platforms, enterprise
content distribution infrastructure at clinical scale, AI-powered talent
intelligence and automated evaluation frameworks, and intelligent IT automation
through tool-calling and workflow orchestration systems.

In
healthcare technology, Primotech has delivered enterprise-grade AI
infrastructure serving tens of thousands of institutions across the US,
combining real-time content distribution systems, point-of-care communication
technology, and cloud-scale backend architecture built for the operational demands
of the US healthcare ecosystem.

In
enterprise AI, the company has designed and architected conversational AI
platforms that combine LLM intelligence, speech processing, behavioral
analytics, and structured scoring systems into unified hiring and employee
support ecosystems. These systems leverage RAG architecture, Pinecone vector
databases, AI avatar interfaces, and automated workflow engines to deliver the
kind of always-on, context-aware intelligence that replaces fragmented manual
processes at scale.

In
AI-powered marketing, Primotech&#039;s Generative Engine Optimization practice
builds the content infrastructure, entity authority, and structured data
frameworks that position brands to be cited inside AI-generated answers across
Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.

This
is the full-spectrum AI capability that earned Primotech recognition as a
TechBehemoths 2025 Award Winner, placing the company in the top 3.5% of over
54,000 global IT and digital firms evaluated across 68 countries.

The Opportunity for Indian
Businesses

India&#039;s
business environment in 2026 is one of the most dynamic anywhere in the world.
Digital adoption has accelerated across every sector. And the gap between
businesses operating with AI-powered infrastructure and those still running on
legacy digital models is widening every quarter.

For
Indian businesses, this creates both urgency and opportunity. The urgency is
that the window to build AI-ready infrastructure before competitors do is
shrinking. 

And
the opportunity is utilizing India&#039;s technology talent base, combined with the
kind of cross-market operational experience that companies like Primotech have
built over a decade, means Indian businesses have access to the strategic and
technical capabilities needed to compete not just domestically but globally.

Primotech&#039;s
delivery infrastructure in Mohali and its strategic headquarters in the US give
Indian clients a partner that understands the Indian market deeply, has built
for global standards consistently, and can position Indian businesses for
visibility and growth in the US and global markets as confidently as it serves
them at home.

The Opportunity for US
and Global Businesses

For
businesses in the United States and globally that are evaluating offshore or
white-label technology solutions and marketing partnerships, this AI shift
presents an opportunity to leverage the full-spectrum capabilities offered by
Primotech. 

The
companies winning in 2026 are the ones with the most effective partnerships,
combining domestic strategic leadership with offshore delivery depth,
AI-powered execution with human strategic oversight, and cost-efficient
infrastructure with genuine technical quality.

Primotech&#039;s
white-label and offshore partnership model is built for exactly this. US and
global agencies, consultancies, and growth businesses can access Primotech&#039;s
full capability stack including AI development, RAG systems, conversational AI
agents, data engineering, DevOps, full-stack development, and AI-powered
marketing, under their own brand or as a named technology partner, with the
flexibility to scale engagements up or down as needs evolve.

The Next Ten Years

Primotech
was founded in 2015 on the belief that technology should be easy, accessible,
accountable, and genuinely useful to the businesses it serves. A decade later,
that belief hasn&#039;t changed. What has changed is the scale of what&#039;s possible,
and the urgency of getting the infrastructure right.

The
businesses that will define their categories over the next ten years are
building their AI-ready foundations now. Not next year. Not after the next
funding round. Now!

Primotech
is the partner building those foundations.

consulting company specializing in development-driven growth, with delivery

<title>O.P. Jindal Global University Hosts the 3rd India–Japan Higher Education Forum 2026 in Tokyo</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/op-jindal-global-university-hosts-the-3rd-indiajapan-higher-education-forum-2026-in-tokyo</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/op-jindal-global-university-hosts-the-3rd-indiajapan-higher-education-forum-2026-in-tokyo</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Tokyo,
Japan, 6 July 2026 : O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU)
successfully convened the 3rd India–Japan Higher Education Forum 2026 on the
theme “Shaping Universities of the Future in the Era of Human and Artificial
Intelligence.” The Forum in Tokyo brought together senior
university leaders, diplomats, policymakers, academics and students from India
and Japan for a substantive dialogue on higher education, academic mobility,
research collaboration, technology, sustainability and education diplomacy. The
Forum brought together a former Prime Minister of Japan, a distinguished Indian
parliamentarian, diplomats and senior leaders of Japan’s leading universities
to shape the future of higher education in the age of artificial intelligence
at a defining moment in the India–Japan Special Strategic and Global
Partnership.

It
assumed special significance in the larger context of the India–Japan Summit
between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, which
reaffirmed the depth and future direction of the India–Japan Special Strategic
and Global Partnership. At a moment when both nations are advancing cooperation
in technology, innovation, artificial intelligence, economic security,
resilience and people-to-people exchanges, the Tokyo Colloquium underscored the
indispensable role of universities in giving intellectual, institutional and
human depth to this partnership.

The
Inaugural Session opened with a Welcome Address by Professor (Dr.) C. Raj
Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor of JGU, followed by a Special Address by H.E. Mr.
Hatoyama Yukio, Former Prime Minister of Japan. In his reflective address, Mr.
Hatoyama remarked: “Japan and India share a relationship that
goes beyond diplomacy and contemporary cooperation. It is rooted in a deeper
civilisational bond shaped over centuries by Buddhism, ethical thought and
spiritual exchange. The philosophy of Yu-ai, or fraternity, speaks to mutual
respect, mutual understanding and mutual assistance, and finds a natural
resonance with Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals of Ahimsa (Non-Violence) and Sarvodaya
(The Welfare of All). In this shared inheritance, Japan and India have the
opportunity to offer the world a vision of harmony, human dignity and
coexistence, inspired by the timeless Indian wisdom that the world is one
family.”

He
concluded by saying, “Education for young people is inseparable from the
creation of our future, and I sincerely hope that deeper collaboration between
JGU and Japanese universities will enable more students to participate in
mutual exchange, strengthening Japan–India relations in academia, economics and
culture.”

Professor
(Dr.) C. Raj Kumar then delivered the Inaugural Address, confirming JGU’s
long-term commitment to Japan and its vision of universities as enduring
bridges between the two nations. A Special Address was delivered by H.E. Mr.
R. Madhu Sudan, Chargé d’Affaires, Embassy of India, Tokyo, who conveyed
the Mission’s warm support for deeper academic and institutional cooperation
between India and Japan and welcomed the Forum as a timely contribution to the
two countries’ Special Strategic and Global Partnership.

This
was followed by the Keynote Address, delivered by Professor (Dr.) Tomohiko
Taniguchi, Former Special Advisor to the Cabinet of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,
who offered a considered perspective on the strategic dimensions of the
India–Japan relationship and the role of knowledge, innovation and higher
education in shaping the future of the Indo-Pacific and the world at large.

A
key highlight was the Distinguished Public Lecture by Dr. Shashi Tharoor,
Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha, India, and Chairman of the Parliamentary
Standing Committee on External Affairs.
Addressing a full and distinguished audience of university leaders, diplomats
and students, Dr. Tharoor reflected on the evolving relationship between India
and Japan and the role of higher education, ideas and people-to-people
engagement in shaping the future of Asia in an age of rapid technological
change. In the course of his remarks, he warmly appreciated JGU’s sustained and
meticulous efforts in building deep and enduring academic ties with Japan,
observing that institutional initiative of this kind embodies the very
people-to-people foundations on which lasting bilateral relationships are
built.

The
session also witnessed the launch of the JGU Sustainability Report 2026 by
Professor Padmanabha Ramanujam, Dean, Office of Academic Governance, JGU.

The
Forum’s Panel Discussion brought together an esteemed gathering of senior
leaders from Japan’s leading universities on a single stage. Moderated by
Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor of JGU, the panel
featured Professor (Dr.) Kaori Hayashi, Executive Vice President, University of
Tokyo; Professor (Dr.) Shoichiro Iwakiri, President, International Christian
University; Professor (Dr.) Noriyuki Takahashi, President, Musashi University;
Professor (Dr.) Miki Sugimura, President, Sophia University; Professor (Dr.)
Nobuo Haruna, President, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies; Professor (Dr.)
Matthew Wilson, President and Dean, Temple University, Japan Campus; Professor
(Dr.) Masahiko Gemma, Vice President, Waseda University; and Hon’ble Mr.
Justice Michael D. Wilson, Former Judge, Supreme Court of Hawaii.

The
Forum also hosted a Certificate Distribution Ceremony for nearly 200 JGU students
who completed Short-Term Study Abroad Programmes (ST-SAPs) at JGU’s partner
universities across Japan in Summer 2026,
including Chuo University, Kyorin University, Musashi University, Temple
University, Japan Campus, the University of Tokyo and the University of
Yamanashi. The ceremony was presented by Professor Hinaho Kishi, Assistant
Professor and Assistant Director, Office of International Affairs and Global
Initiatives, JGU, and Ms. Ananya Lall, student of the Bachelor of Business
Administration (Hons.) programme at the Jindal Global Business School, JGU.

Speaking
on the occasion, Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor, JGU,
said: “The 3rd India–Japan Higher Education Forum
reflects JGU’s abiding commitment to building enduring bridges between India
and Japan through higher education, research, innovation, student mobility and
sustained dialogue on the future of universities in the age of artificial
intelligence. As we embrace the extraordinary possibilities of technology,
universities have a responsibility to ensure that artificial intelligence
deepens human understanding, advances the public good and strengthens global
cooperation. Universities must remain custodians of human values, critical
thinking, ethical judgment and public purpose even as they prepare future
generations for a rapidly changing world. It is in this union of technological
ambition and humanistic purpose that the universities of the future will be
shaped, and India and Japan are natural partners in that endeavour.”

Professor
(Dr.) Akhil Bhardwaj, Executive Dean and Director, Office of International
Affairs and Global Initiatives, JGU, said: “JGU’s
engagement in Japan extends far beyond a single event. The Forum reflects a
larger institutional effort to create meaningful partnerships, deepen student
and faculty mobility, and build enduring platforms for sustained academic
collaboration between Indian and Japanese universities. The Forum, our study
abroad programmes and the breadth of our engagements with partners across Japan
together represent a long-term investment in the people-to-people foundations
of the India–Japan relationship.”

The
3rd India–Japan Higher Education Forum 2026 affirmed that the future of the
India–Japan relationship will not be shaped by governments and markets alone,
but also by universities, scholars and students who build trust across
cultures, generate new knowledge, and prepare the next generation of leaders in
both countries to learn with and from one another. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ With Indian luxury real
estate market surging to record heights, smart home buyers and investors are
now shifting their focus to high-end residential markets in Gurgaon and
Bangalore.The luxury real estate market in India is on a roll, and smart home
buyers and investors are now focusing on premium residential markets in Gurgaon
and Bangalore. To meet the growing demand, Luxury Roof has emerged as a
platform that pairs buyers with some of the most coveted luxury property in
these two booming metropolitan areas.

Gurgaon and Bangalore
have become major markets for luxury homes over the last few years due to
robust economic development, an increasing number of corporate firms,
world-class infrastructure and the rising number of high-net-worth individuals.
New opportunities for investors that are looking for long-term value
appreciation have emerged as the demand for premium residences, gated
communities, penthouses, branded developments and more have grown.

Luxury
Roof caters to buyers looking for carefully selected luxury property in Gurgaon
that is a perfect fit for their lifestyle and investment goal in Gurgaon with
its carefully curated collection of luxury properties. The platform offers
access to projects by some of India&#039;s top real estate brands which range from
ultra-luxury apartments on Golf Course Road to premium villas and integrated
townships in fast-growing corridors.

Likewise, a wide
selection of property in Bangalore is available on the platform that includes
prime property areas like Whitefield, Sarjapur Road, North Bangalore,
Electronic City, and other emerging investment hot spots. As Bangalore
continues to be a hub for technology firms, startups, and international companies,
the premium housing sector in the city stands out as one of the most robust and
desirable real estate markets in the country.

According to a Luxury
Roof spokesperson, &quot;Modern buyers are looking for more than a property,
they&#039;re looking for a lifestyle, security, connectivity, and long term
investment value, and our job is to make it easy for them to find a verified
listing, get information about the market and help them make an informed
choice.

It prioritizes
transparency, quality, and customer-centric service to help users make informed
decisions about projects, the opportunities they present, the pricing trends,
and location benefits to consider, all in line with their investment
objectives. Luxury Roof can make the home-buying or real estate investing
process smooth for people looking for their dream home or considering
high-growth real estate assets.

Luxury real estate
demand in Gurgaon and Bangalore is expected to stay robust with the ongoing
infrastructure development, commercial growth and making of wealth, says
industry experts. This has led investors to diversify their portfolios by
investing in residential properties with a strategic location, where they can
enjoy a lifestyle as well as the capital appreciation potential.

With the changing
times, Luxury Roof is not only expanding its portfolio, but is also proving to
be a reliable go-to place for any property buyer in Gurgaon and Bangalore.

<description><![CDATA[ Jaipur: Entrepreneur Outreach, a digital business media platform dedicated to India&#039;s rapidly growing startup and MSME ecosystem, is steadily expanding its editorial coverage and content offerings. The platform aims to provide entrepreneurs, startup founders, investors, and small business owners with reliable business news, industry insights, market analysis, and valuable information to support entrepreneurial growth.
According to the company, Entrepreneur Outreach has developed an editorial strategy focused on highlighting entrepreneurs and businesses that often receive limited attention in mainstream business media. Special emphasis is being placed on startups, MSMEs, and innovation-driven enterprises from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, showcasing their success stories, challenges, and contributions to local economic development.
The platform publishes a wide range of business-focused content, including startup funding updates, industry trends, founder profiles, expert interviews, fact-based business reports, company profiles, business event listings, gadget reviews, and podcasts. Through this diverse content portfolio, Entrepreneur Outreach seeks to equip entrepreneurs with actionable knowledge while creating opportunities to connect with investors, industry experts, and the broader business community.
The company believes that although India&#039;s startup and MSME sectors are experiencing remarkable growth, the achievements of regional entrepreneurs often remain underrepresented. Addressing this gap, Entrepreneur Outreach is committed to bringing forward businesses and founders who are driving innovation, generating employment, and creating a meaningful impact at the grassroots level.
Founder Junjaram Thory stated that millions of inspiring entrepreneurial journeys across India deserve national recognition. He emphasized that Entrepreneur Outreach aims to become more than just a business news platform by building a trusted media destination that promotes entrepreneurship, innovation, and positive stories contributing to India&#039;s economic development.
Looking ahead, the company plans to introduce new content sections, in-depth industry analysis, exclusive interviews, data-driven reports, and additional digital resources. These initiatives are intended to further strengthen Entrepreneur Outreach as a comprehensive information and networking platform for India&#039;s startup, MSME, and business communities. ]]></description>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sharkninja-launches-their-first-campaign-in-india-with-ananya-panday-and-chunky-panday</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ BENGALURU,
INDIA (04 July, 2026) : SharkNinja APAC has unveiled its first
local marketing campaign in India featuring Bollywood father-daughter duo
Ananya Panday and Chunky Panday. The multi-phase campaign introduces the Ninja
Blast Portable Blender and the Ninja Combi 14-in-1 Multicooker from Ninja,
America’s No. 1 Small Kitchen Appliance Brand*, staying true to the brand’s
philosophy of solving real-world problems that others miss.

Built
around the Pandays’ natural chemistry, the campaign uses familiar household
tensions to bring Ninja’s problem-solving innovation closer to Indian
consumers. For the Ninja Blast Portable Blender, the brand deployed a two-phase
teaser playing on Ananya being “tired of chunky,” shifting the conversation
from social buzz to the uneven output and fuss of bulky blenders, before
revealing the power and convenience of on-the-go blending. For the Ninja Combi
14-in-1 Multicooker, Chunky turns into a “Cooking Ninja,” surprising Ananya
with a variety of dishes, from samosas and cake to dhoklas and idlis, all
cooked in one versatile appliance.

The
campaign marks the next step in SharkNinja’s India journey following its April
2026 market entry. By combining global product innovation with local cultural
relevance, SharkNinja is using its first India campaign to build salience,
familiarity, and consideration for Ninja’s kitchen portfolio.



“As
we build SharkNinja’s presence in India, it was important for our first
campaign to feel culturally relevant while staying true to our problem-solving
approach. The natural dynamic between Ananya and Chunky Panday mirrors the
energy of modern Indian homes, making them a strong fit for this launch.” said
Mrunmay Mehta, MD &amp; Country Head - India, SharkNinja APAC. 

Speaking
on the partnership, Ananya Panday shared, “I really enjoyed working
on this campaign because it brought out the relationship I share with my father
in such a natural way. We got to be ourselves while doing something we both
genuinely enjoy, which is spending time around food and cooking. I’m
delighted to be associated with such an iconic global brand in this space.”

Chunky
Panday added, “For me, the kitchen has always
been a place for conversation, laughter, and shared moments. Doing this
campaign with Ananya made it even more special, because our equation brought
that same sense of warmth and fun to the screen. I’m thrilled to be associated
with Ninja, such an iconic and trusted global brand”

The
campaign brings together the portability of the Ninja Blast and the versatility
of the Ninja Combi to address the pace and variety of modern Indian cooking.
From fresh blends on the go to complete meals prepared across two levels, Ninja
is helping Indian homes make room for everyone’s favourites.

About
SharkNinja APAC: SharkNinja APAC refers to the licensed APAC
operations for the Shark and Ninja brands. Focused on bringing globally
recognised, problem-solving products to local consumers, SharkNinja APAC

About GIVA

GIVA disrupted the
jewellery space by making high-quality, certified silver jewellery accessible
to all. The brand expanded into gold and lab-grown diamonds in 2023, ensuring
that affordability and accessibility remained at its core. In 2022, GIVA opened
its first exclusive offline store in Bangalore, and within just a few years,
its retail network grew exponentially. Alongside its brick-and-mortar
expansion, GIVA has made strategic partnerships with multiple e-commerce and
quick commerce sites.

While GIVA outsources
manufacturing to trusted partners in various countries such as China, Thailand,
Turkey, and Italy,  a significant portion
of its production is based in India. To maintain quality standards, the company
set up its first in-house plating facility in Jaipur. Today, GIVA serves over 2
million customers (in India alone) and has achieved steady business growth,
with a consolidated revenue from operations increasing by 66% in FY 2023-24,
reaching ₹273.6 crores. The company’s overall revenue is expected to cross ₹500
crores, further cementing its position as one of India’s most prominent fine
jewellery brands. ]]></description>

portfolio will be available at special prices starting from Rs. 30,999,

plays an important role, we also wanted to add greater long-term value to every
purchase. By extending the warranty on our Mini LED range to three years at no

<title>India’s SMEs Don’t Need More Training. They Need Transformation</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-smes-dont-need-more-training-they-need-transformation</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-smes-dont-need-more-training-they-need-transformation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ JAIPUR, [3rd July 2026] :  For
years, the answer offered to a struggling small business has been the same:
more training. A workshop here, a motivational session there, a slide deck full
of frameworks. Yet the businesses keep hitting the same wall. A new initiative
believes it knows why — and that the conventional answer has been solving the
wrong problem.

A new
venture, The Ascend Academyy, argues that the real ceiling on small-business
growth isn’t opportunity or ambition — it’s understanding. And understanding
can be designed

The Ascend Academyy, launched by Leadership &amp; Business
Transformation Strategist Bharatesh Suvarna and MSME growth strategist Gaggan
Jain, starts from an uncomfortable premise: most corporate training fails not
because the content is wrong, but because information was never the bottleneck.
“People rarely act differently because they were handed more facts,” the
founders argue. “They act differently when their mindset, their confidence, and
their conversations change.”

It is a quiet but significant reframing. Across India, millions of
Small and Medium Enterprises sit at the same inflection point — the moment a
founder who once knew every customer by name must now lead through managers,
systems, and culture. The instinct is to add headcount or chase a new market. The
harder, more durable work is to change how the organisation thinks. That work,
the Academyy contends, is a business strategy, not an HR expense.

From
knowing to doing

The distinction the founders keep returning to is the one between knowing
and doing. A manager can recite every principle of delegation and still
not delegate. A sales team can name every objection-handling technique and
still lose the deal on trust.



“The gap between
knowing and doing is where performance is actually won or lost. So we test
every programme against one question: what will someone do differently
tomorrow?”  — Bharatesh
Suvarna, Co-Founder



That test produced an unusually concrete recent engagement. Asked to
train teams on the FOFO (Franchise Owned, Franchise Operated) model, the
Academyy refused to simply explain the structure. Instead it taught teams to
read the investor’s mind — the high-capital-at-risk anxiety of a franchisee,
the fears that shape every decision, the questions that build or break trust.
The lesson generalised: most growth is bottlenecked not by what a business can
offer, but by how well its people understand the person across the table.



“Business growth is
rarely limited by opportunity. It is limited by understanding. When teams learn
to identify what stakeholders actually fear and want, the conversations change
— and when conversations change, outcomes change.”  — Gaggan Jain, Co-Founder



The conviction is backed by experience rather than theory. Suvarna
spent more than three decades in retail leadership, business transformation,
and people development. Jain leads the Academyy’s MSME practice and the
development of Dhandha 360°, its complete business operating system for owners
in manufacturing and retail, built on the Academyy’s ASCEND Framework — Acknowledge,
Shift, Create, Evaluate, Now, Daily — the same six-step discipline that
gives the Academyy its name.

Their broader thesis fits a pattern visible across Indian business:
the most valuable interventions are no longer the loudest or the most
content-heavy, but the ones that change behaviour and quietly compound. Markets
shift, customers evolve, competition sharpens. Organisations that keep learning
keep growing; those that stop learning eventually stop evolving.

Which is why the Academyy resists the label of trainer altogether,
preferring growth partner. Its founding line doubles as its argument:
growth is not an accident — growth is designed.

About The
Ascend Academyy

The Ascend Academyy is a leadership, business, and organisational
development initiative committed to helping individuals, teams, and businesses
unlock their next level of growth. Through customised interventions, workshops,
coaching programmes, and transformation initiatives, the Academyy helps
organisations convert potential into performance, and ambition into
achievement. Its guiding belief is simple: growth is not an accident — growth
is designed.

About the
Founders

Bharatesh Suvarna is a
Business Transformation Strategist, leadership coach, and co-founder of The
Ascend Academyy, with more than three decades spent inside the realities of
Indian business. His career spans retail leadership, business transformation,
and people development — the disciplines of moving an organisation from
founder-dependence to professional structure, and from individual effort to
repeatable system. Across that arc he has built and mentored leadership teams,
professionalised operations, strengthened customer-facing cultures, and
prepared managers to carry larger responsibilities as their businesses scale.

His approach is defined by a refusal to separate learning from
results. Rather than deliver theory, he designs interventions around the
specific decisions, conversations, and behaviours a business needs to change —
measuring every programme against a single test: what will people do
differently tomorrow? It is this practical, business-first philosophy, grounded
in years on the shop floor and in the boardroom, that he brings to The Ascend
Academyy and to the SME owners it serves.

Gaggan Jain is a
business educator, MSME growth strategist, and co-founder of The Ascend
Academyy. He leads the Academyy’s MSME practice, including the development of
Dhandha 360° — the Academyy’s flagship business operating system and education
programme for owners in manufacturing and retail — and the Academyy’s
proprietary ASCEND Framework (Acknowledge, Shift, Create, Evaluate, Now,
Daily). His work is grounded in real Indian business contexts and the
day-to-day operating realities of founder-led enterprises, translating large-business
discipline into practical tools that small and medium businesses can actually
use.

Indian data residency and minimal foreign infrastructure dependency.

The
platform addresses a regulatory and operational gap that has grown more acute
with the enforcement of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023,
MeitY&#039;s Cloud Selection Framework for government workloads and RBI cloud
guidelines governing data residency in the banking sector. Indian enterprises
in regulated industries banking, government, healthcare and public services
have been required to meet increasingly stringent data sovereignty obligations
while operating on infrastructure not subject to Indian legal jurisdiction.
Swaraj Cloud is built to resolve that gap at the infrastructure level, not
through contractual overlays or data processing agreements.

&quot;India
stands at the defining inflection point of its digital century. Over the last
decade, India has built one of the world&#039;s largest Digital Public
Infrastructure ecosystems, yet the foundation powering our digital economy
continues to rely on foreign cloud platforms, foreign AI ecosystems, and
imported compute. Today, over 70% of India&#039;s workloads continue to run on
foreign infrastructure , resulting in significant economic outflows and
strategic dependence on technologies beyond our control. The cost of inaction
as a nation is reflected in geopolitical risks, compliance obligations and the
increasing need for digital self-reliance.

It
is this vision that inspired the creation of Swaraj Cloud - India&#039;s AI
Autonomous Architect Cloud Platform, built in India, governed in India, and
engineered for global scale. Purpose-built to deliver sovereign cloud
capabilities through autonomous intelligence, hyper-scale architecture and
AI-driven automation, Swaraj Cloud harnesses a comprehensive sovereign AI
digital IT ecosystem that brings together 30+ services and 80+ integrated
intelligent capabilities, enabling organizations to scale their digital
transformation through a single, unified sovereign platform.

A
defining capability of Swaraj Cloud is its Prompt-to-Production architecture ,
powered by an integrated Solution Generator that enables organizations to
transform a business requirement into a production-ready live environment. 

Built
on five foundational pillars - AI Intelligence, Scalability, Security,
Compliance and Data Sovereignty  - Swaraj
Cloud seamlessly unifies Cloud Service Provider (CSP) and Managed Service Provider
(MSP) capabilities into a single sovereign ecosystem. 

The
path ahead for India lies unequivocally in Digital Sovereignty , where our
data, cloud, AI, compute, cybersecurity and critical digital infrastructure are
developed, governed and continuously innovated within India. This is a
collective national responsibility and ESDS is committed to enabling this
vision by delivering a sovereign end-to-end AI and IT ecosystem that empowers
large enterprises, governments and BFSI institutions. Our purpose extends to
enabling the AtmaNirbhar Bharat mission and building sovereign digital
foundations through platforms like Swaraj Cloud that will enable India&#039;s
Sovereign AI future and strengthen its leadership in the age of Artificial
Intelligence&quot;— Piyush Somani Promoter, Managing Director and Chairman ESDS
Software Solution Ltd.

ESDS
owns and operates the physical servers, storage and networks that Swaraj Cloud
runs on. It is not a rebranded or resold foreign cloud service. Workloads
processed on Swaraj Cloud are designed to remain within Indian borders, under
Indian law, seeking to minimise foreign legal exposure on data.

Prompt
to Production: Redefining How Cloud Infrastructure Is Built

The
defining capability of Swaraj Cloud at launch is its Prompt-to-Production
Solution Generator, a deployment engine designed to be a distinctive
offering among Indian cloud platforms. An enterprise describes its requirement
in plain language or through a guided input wizard. Swaraj Cloud&#039;s AI layer
translates that input into a validated cloud architecture, maps it against
applicable compliance frameworks including BFSI regulatory requirements,
generates a complete Bill of Materials with line-item INR pricing and
auto-deploys the entire environment in a single, uninterrupted automated run.

The
complete workflow runs across six automated stages: requirements input,
architecture recommendation with a visual preview, Bill of Materials generation
in INR, compliance mapping and validation, auto-deployment of all components in
sequence and a live billing preview the moment the environment goes live. The
enterprise sees the architecture before a single resource is provisioned. It
sees the cost before a single rupee is charged. And it receives a fully
operational, compliance-validated cloud environment without a single
infrastructure configuration step performed manually.

For
Indian enterprises where procurement cycles, infrastructure provisioning
timelines and compliance validation have historically been multi-week
exercises, Prompt-to-Production is designed to compress that journey into
minutes. It is a highly differentiated capability of the platform at launch and
a clear expression of Swaraj Cloud&#039;s AI-autonomous design philosophy.

&quot;Every
regulated enterprise in India has been navigating a difficult trade-off,
capable cloud infrastructure that does not meet sovereignty requirements, or
sovereign infrastructure that does not meet capability requirements. Swaraj
Cloud is built to remove that trade-off. With Prompt-to-Production, built-in
compliance monitoring, and a sovereign AI platform, enterprises now have a
single platform that meets regulatory obligations and operational demands
without compromise.&quot;

Komal
Somani, Whole-time Director, ESDS Software Solution Ltd.

Beyond
the Solution Generator, Swaraj Cloud launches with a service portfolio spanning
the full enterprise cloud stack. The Enlight AIOps platform provides
GPU-enabled virtual machines for AI model training, managed Jupyter Notebooks,
fine-tuning-as-a-service, automated MLOps pipelines, model governance, drift
detection, built-in AI safety controls and a [library of 20+ pre-built industry
models all running on Indian infrastructure. Infrastructure services include a
multi-hypervisor IaaS platform with Software-Defined Networking, DDoS
protection and elastic IP management; Managed Kubernetes Service; an
OCI-compliant Container Registry with automated vulnerability scanning; and
agentless VM backup with point-in-time restore. Security operations are
supported by a built-in SIEM platform with MITRE ATT&amp;CK threat
categorisation and CERT-In breach notification integration.
Compliance-as-a-Service is embedded natively into the platform providing
continuous monitoring against PCI DSS, NIST and TSC (Trust Service Criteria)
frameworks, automated compliance scoring across all provisioned resources and
one-click audit evidence export. Billing is managed entirely in Indian Rupees,
with real-time usage dashboards, resource-level cost breakdowns and an
in-platform billing calculator. A cloud marketplace with one-click deployment
and a developer platform with multi-language SDKs, CLI tooling and an
interactive API documentation portal complete the launch offering.

Swaraj
Cloud is available immediately to Indian enterprises across Government, PSU,
BFSI and regulated sectors. The platform is MeitY-empanelled and DPDP
Act-aligned. Enterprises can access the platform at www.esds.co.in/swaraj-cloud

<title>KOSMODERMA OPENS IN BASAVESHWARA NAGAR, World&#45;Class Cosmetic Dermatology. Right in Your Neighborhood</title>

<description><![CDATA[ KOSMODERMA
— A LEGACY IN NUMBERS

For
two decades, Kosmoderma has redefined aesthetic medicine in India — not through
marketing, but through measurable outcomes, clinical discipline, and the quiet
trust of over two lakh patients. The numbers below speak to a standard of care
that is now arriving in Basaveshwara Nagar.

20
Yrs of Clinical Excellence — Est. 2006 by Dr. Chytra V Anand

2.26
L+ Clients Served — Across Bangalore &amp; India

600+

90%+
Happy Customers — Verified satisfaction rate

#1
Cosmetic Derm Brand — India&#039;s most trusted

BASAVESHWARA
NAGAR — WHO WE ARE COMING TO SERVE

Basaveshwara
Nagar is not simply a pin code on a map. It is one of West Bangalore&#039;s most
established, educated, and aspirational residential neighborhoods — home to
multi-generational families, working professionals, and a growing base of
health-aware individuals who have long sought expert dermatological care
without the burden of cross-city commutes.

Kosmoderma&#039;s
own patient data reveals that West Bangalore — spanning Basaveshwara Nagar,
Rajajinagar, Vijayanagar, and Malleshwaram — has generated a significant and
consistent volume of new patient registrations over the past five years. The
opening of this clinic is a direct response to that demonstrated demand.

Skin
&amp; Hair Concerns:

●       
Melasma &amp; pigmentation aggravated by
Bangalore&#039;s changing UV index

●       
Hormonal acne &amp; post-acne scarring among
working-age adults

●       
Hair thinning &amp; hair fall worsened by hard
borehole water

●       
Fine lines &amp; early ageing in the 30–45 age
cohort

●       
Laser hair reduction — highest demand among
women aged 22–40

●       
Body concerns: localized fat, skin laxity
post-pregnancy &amp; weight fluctuation

OUR
FOOTPRINT IN WEST BANGALORE — BEFORE WE EVEN OPENED

Even
before a single appointment was booked at the Basaveshwara Nagar clinic, the
community had already found Kosmoderma — travelling across the city to visit
our existing locations. The data from our CRM and patient records tells a story
of trust extended across distance.

7,890+
Patients from West Bangalore — Treated at existing Kosmoderma clinics

90%+
Satisfaction Rate — Rated treatment outcome as &#039;Excellent&#039; or &#039;Very Good&#039;

78%
Repeat Visits — Patients who returned for additional treatments

4.8
/ 5 Average Rating — Google &amp; internal patient feedback

62%
Referral-Driven Walk-ins — Came via family or friend recommendations

3x
Growth in West BLR Demand — Patient registrations over last 3 years

These
are not abstract statistics. They represent 7,890 individuals who trusted Kosmoderma
enough to travel for pigmentation treatments, for hair restoration protocols,
for the confidence that only certified dermatologist-led care can deliver. The
new clinic simply removes the distance from that trust.

THE
MARKET OPPORTUNITY — INDIA&#039;S AESTHETIC MEDICINE LANDSCAPE

India&#039;s
aesthetic medicine industry is at a genuine inflection point. The convergence
of rising incomes, digital awareness, reduced social stigma around cosmetic
care, and a post-pandemic shift toward personal well-being has created
conditions for extraordinary market expansion.

USD
3B+ India Aesthetics Market — Projected size within 3–4 years

13–15%
Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) — One of Asia&#039;s fastest-growing sectors

USD
11B Asia-Pacific Market — By 2028, India will be among the top contributors

68%
Patients Under 45 — Younger demographic driving demand

40%+
Market in Tier-1 Cities — Bangalore among the top 3 markets nationally

3x
Dermatology Visits — Increase in urban India since 2020

Bangalore
represents one of the three most significant aesthetic medicine markets in
India, alongside Mumbai and Delhi. West Bangalore alone — historically
underserved by premium cosmetic dermatology brands — represents a catchment
area of approximately 8–10 lakh residents with demonstrably high healthcare
expenditure and aesthetic awareness. The Basaveshwara Nagar clinic positions
Kosmoderma to capture and serve this market with the clinical authority that no
other brand in India currently matches.

LEADERSHIP
VISION — THE FUTURE WE ARE BUILDING

What
does it mean to lead India&#039;s most trusted cosmetic dermatology brand into the
next decade? Four leaders. Four distinct visions. One shared conviction: that
every person — regardless of where they live — deserves access to world-class,
dermatologist-led skin and hair care.

Dr.
Chytra V Anand

Founder
&amp; Chief Executive Officer, Kosmoderma

&quot;To
be the Cosmetic Dermatology Brand That India — and the World — Trusts
Most&quot;

When
I founded Kosmoderma in 2006, the vision was never simply to build a chain of
clinics. It was to raise the standard of what patients could expect from
cosmetic dermatology — in India and eventually beyond.

Today,
as we open our 13th clinic in Bangalore, I think about what the next 20 years
must look like. My vision is global — not in the sense of geography alone, but
in the standard of care we deliver. The world&#039;s best aesthetic clinics —
whether in Seoul, London, or New York — share one thing: an uncompromising
commitment to clinical outcomes over commercial shortcuts.

My
vision for Kosmoderma is to be in that global conversation — not as a brand
trying to match international standards, but as the institution that sets them
for a billion-person market that the world has underestimated.

Every
clinic we open — including this one — must answer one question: Are we making
the patient safer, better-informed, and more confident in their outcome? If the
answer is yes, we expand. If not, we pause and improve. That discipline has
kept us India&#039;s No. 1 for 20 years. It will take us to the world stage in the
next 20.

The
Basaveshwara Nagar clinic is not just the 13th dot on a Bangalore map. It is
one more proof point that clinical integrity and business growth are not in
conflict — they are, in fact, the same thing.

Tanuushka
K Lal

Chief
Operating Officer, Kosmoderma

&quot;Operational
Excellence as a Patient Right — Not a Brand Promise&quot;

In
global healthcare leadership, we often speak of scalability. The harder
question — the one most organizations avoid — is: how do you scale without
diluting? My vision for Kosmoderma is to answer that question definitively and
to do so at a standard that would be recognized in any boardroom in Singapore,
Switzerland, or San Francisco.

We
have already done something that very few aesthetic brands in Asia have
achieved: we earned NABH accreditation for our Lavelle Road clinic — the first
aesthetic clinic in India to do so. That was not a marketing decision. It was
an operational declaration. It said, &quot;We hold ourselves to the same
accountability frameworks as the best hospitals in the world.&quot;

My
vision is an organization where every clinical protocol, every hygiene check,
every staff training, and every patient interaction is governed by systems so
robust that no individual clinic can fall below the standard — no matter which
city, which floor, or which team.

Internationally,
we are watching healthcare brands like Mayo Clinic and Apollo Hospitals
demonstrate that scale and quality are not enemies. They are partners when the
infrastructure behind them is built with rigor. That is the Kosmoderma I am
building.

●       
Standardized clinical SOPs across all 13+
Bangalore clinics and national locations

●       
Real-time patient outcome tracking integrated
into every treatment pathway

●       
A talent development pipeline that produces
India&#039;s finest aesthetic dermatology practitioners

●       
Operational systems capable of supporting 50
clinics with the same discipline as one

Basaveshwara
Nagar opens under that vision. And every clinic that follows will carry it
forward.

Dr.
Soumitra Das

National
Head — Marketing &amp; Sales, Kosmoderma

&quot;Making
India the Global Benchmark for Accessible, Expert Aesthetic Care&quot;

When
we look at the global aesthetics market — USD 15+ billion and growing — the
narrative has long been dominated by Western and East Asian players. South
Korea has built a dermatology tourism empire. The United States leads in
technology adoption. The United Kingdom is in regulatory benchmarking.

India
has been conspicuously absent from that global leadership conversation. I
believe Kosmoderma is positioned to change that — and not in a decade, but now.

My
vision is for India to become the world&#039;s most respected destination for
evidence-based aesthetic dermatology — and for Kosmoderma to be the brand that
puts India on that map. We have the clinical talent. We have the technology. We
have the patient volumes that no single market in the world can match. What we
now need is the confidence to own that position globally.

West
Bangalore is a microcosm of that larger ambition. With 7,890+ patients already
trusting us from this catchment area, a 90%+ satisfaction rate, and a 3x growth
in demand over three years, the data does not lie. People are not looking for
cheap options. They are looking for expert care. And Kosmoderma is the only
brand in India currently delivering that at this scale.

My
vision for the next five years encompasses three strategic pillars:

●       
National Reach: Expanding to 100+ clinics
across Tier-1 and Tier-2 Indian cities by 2030

●       
Global Visibility: Positioning Kosmoderma as a
reference brand in international dermatology and aesthetic medicine forums

●       
Digital Leadership: Building India&#039;s most
trusted cosmetic dermatology platform — education, diagnosis, and care —
integrated seamlessly for the modern patient

The
Basaveshwara Nagar clinic opening is the latest chapter in that story. But it
is far from the last.

Dr.
Nistha

Medical
Head, Kosmoderma

&quot;Outcomes
That Speak. Patients Who Return. Science That Never Compromises.&quot;

In
clinical medicine, the only currency that truly matters is outcome. Not the
elegance of a clinic&#039;s interior. Not the brand value of the equipment
installed. Not the price of a treatment package. The question that keeps me
committed to this work — every single day — is simple: Did this patient&#039;s life
genuinely improve because they chose Kosmoderma?

With
over 2.26 lakh patients treated, a 90%+ satisfaction rate, and a return patient
rate of 78% from West Bangalore alone, the clinical answer is yes. But my
vision demands that we never become comfortable with that answer. Outcomes must
improve. Science must evolve. And our protocols must reflect both.

I
envision a Kosmoderma Medical Practice that is internationally peer-reviewed —
where our treatment outcomes, our complication rates, our patient satisfaction
indices, and our clinical protocols are published, compared, and respected in
dermatology literature worldwide. Where our medical heads are not just skilled
practitioners but contributors to the global science of skin and hair.

That
vision begins at the patient level — at the first consultation. Here is what
every patient who walks into the Basaveshwara Nagar clinic will experience,
without exception:

●       
A certified dermatologist — never a technician
— conducts the initial consultation and diagnosis

●       
A personalized treatment plan built around the
individual&#039;s medical history, skin type, lifestyle, and goals

●       
US FDA-approved technologies, applied with
protocols that minimize risk and maximize efficacy

●       
Structured follow-up to track outcomes — not
assumed, but documented and measured

●       
Zero upselling. If a treatment is not
clinically indicated, it is not recommended.

Hair
fall treated without understanding its cause is not treatment — it is a delay.
Pigmentation addressed without understanding its trigger will return within
months. My vision is a clinic where patients never have to return because a
problem was mismanaged. They return because they trust us completely — and
because they see results that justify that trust.

That
is the standard. That is the service outcome. That is Kosmoderma.

<description><![CDATA[ Leaving behind a stable corporate career, this woman decided to do
something for her hometown. Guided by her mother’s teachings, Deepika is now a
successful entrepreneur- a name that echoes in the travel industry!

Deepika Negi was denied vendor contracts. &quot;How will a woman survive in a
male-led industry?&quot;

Recalls Deepika, the foundation behind one of the most successful
travel operators. She says it is very odd for people to accept a woman in the
male-led travel industry. Building a business is not the issue, but the
unyielding ratio of male to female is. Nobody believes in you, neither the
vendors nor the travellers. 

One such journey belongs to Deepika Negi, Founder of BizareXpedition, whose path from Pauri Garhwal to a successful company reflects
persistence and quiet leadership. 

This story takes a closer look at Deepika’s resilience. What went
behind the idea, the roadblocks, and the experiences that helped shape her
journey. How she conquered the mountains (quite literally). 

From Humble Hills to Entrepreneurship Heights



Growing up, I have always seen my uncle and elder brothers doing the
negotiations, travel bookings, and never in my life had I met a travel agent
who was a woman. I was always taken by the idea of a woman in charge of others’
trips. But that was never the case. 

These intrusive questions went blurry when I lost my father at a
tender age, and after that, life took a U-turn, says Deepika.

For me, now the focus was on completing my studies and getting a good
job to help my mother back at home. She was a Government teacher, and it was
her ideologies that instilled this self-confidence in me.

I did a double master&#039;s, the first time in history, and then a
master&#039;s in Tourism at the HNB Garhwal University. And soon landed a job in Cox
and Kings, Kuoni, and SITA. But that question remained in my head, and finding
the answer led me here. 

The personal connection with the hills, the will to help locals get
work, and the belief to shatter male-networked industry became essential for
Deepika, and thus began the BizareXpedition journey. 



The Road to the Dream

The transition from a high-paying job to square one was a thrilling
one. But had I not left it, I wouldn’t be here employing hundreds of dreamers
just like me, says Deepika. Her colourful career gave her an upper hand in
inbound tourism, which she later used in building her own brand.

Driven by a desire to explore beyond the familiar, she founded
BizareXpedition in 2014, a time when most people were unsure of starting
something of their own. Establishing and running a women-led travel operator
was more than an achievement for a girl from a small town in Uttarakhand. 

On Uneven Roads: How Challenges Shaped a Woman’s Journey in the Travel
Industry 

Deepika’s travel brand strives for smooth journeys and hassle-free
travel itineraries. But for her, the road to building this brand was never an
easy one, both literally and metaphorically. 


Coming from a small town posed geographical and logistical challenges
in the initial years. While the region offered a closer connection with hill
tourism, it also meant slower networks and limited access. And for a woman in a
gender-skewed industry, these issues were even more amplified. 

“I was judged for who I was and not what I can do”, says Deepika.
There was one time when a vendor cancelled on me because he found it odd to do
business with a woman. She is now working with more than a dozen vendors who
not only believe in her vision but also stand by it. Being in the male-centric
industry comes with skepticism, which challenged my credibility, but I never
gave up. 

She explains that challenging times moulded her journey. Be it vendor
negotiations or on-ground operations, I was put to the test time and again. But
the only thing that persisted during these harsh situations was my
‘determination’ to become a successful woman entrepreneur. My mother’s words
echoed in my ears whenever I wanted to give up, and I am happy I never did!

A Journey Beyond Destinations 

Deepika’s story highlights the truth behind every profession which
runs on gender roles and not capabilities. After struggling for almost a
decade, she is now a proud CEO. She not only answered the questions she had as
a child, but also defied gender norms. 

“When a traveller comes back with not only photographs, but also with
stories, emotions, and a sense of belonging, that is when I realise that we
have really created value”, says Deepika.

The same girl who never saw a female travel agent is now the reason
many young girls are choosing entrepreneurship in the region. She is now an
icon for many like her.

<title>Jaipur&#45;Based EV Charging Startup ChargeJet Launches App&#45;Free Charging, Letting Drivers Scan, Pay, and Charge Instantly Without Downloads</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/jaipur-based-ev-charging-startup-chargejet-launches-app-free-charging-letting-drivers-scan-pay-and-charge-instantly-without-downloads</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/jaipur-based-ev-charging-startup-chargejet-launches-app-free-charging-letting-drivers-scan-pay-and-charge-instantly-without-downloads</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Jaipur, Rajasthan : ChargeJet, a Jaipur-based
ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) charging network startup, has officially
announced the launch of its App-Free Charging feature, enabling electric
vehicle owners across India to charge their vehicles without downloading a
mobile application. The new feature is designed to eliminate the friction
points associated with public EV charging and deliver a faster, simpler, and
more intuitive experience for all EV users.

A Seamless Three-Step Experience: Scan,
Pay, Charge

At the heart of ChargeJet&#039;s new innovation
lies a simple, three-step process designed for convenience. Upon arriving at a
ChargeJet charging station, EV drivers simply connect the charging gun, scan
the QR code displayed on the charger using their phone camera, and complete a
secure payment via any UPI or digital payment platform.

Once the payment is completed, charging
begins instantly without the need to download an app, create an account, fill
out lengthy forms, or maintain a pre-loaded wallet balance. The entire process,
from arrival to active charging, takes only a few seconds, making public EV
charging as seamless and effortless as any everyday digital payment
transaction.

This approach draws directly from one of
India&#039;s most transformative digital shifts, the mainstream adoption of QR-based
payments. With hundreds of millions of Indians already comfortable scanning QR
codes for everyday transactions, ChargeJet is leveraging a familiar behavioural
habit to remove one of the most cited barriers in public EV charging.

Addressing a Critical Gap in India&#039;s
Growing EV Ecosystem

India&#039;s electric mobility landscape is
expanding at a remarkable pace. Fuelled by rising fuel prices, increasing
environmental awareness, and robust government support for EV adoption through
initiatives such as the FAME India programme, the number of electric vehicles
on Indian roads has grown significantly in recent years. However, this rapid
growth has also cast a spotlight on a persistent and unresolved challenge: the
inconvenience of accessing public charging infrastructure.

Traditional EV charging networks typically
require users to download a dedicated mobile application, register with
personal information, complete identity verification, and in many cases
pre-load a wallet balance before they can initiate even their very first
charging session. For a driver who needs to urgently charge their vehicle, or
who is using a particular network for the first time, this multi-step
onboarding process can be deeply frustrating. In certain scenarios, the effort
required to register on a new charging platform is enough to deter first-time
users from public charging altogether, creating a tangible barrier to wider EV
adoption across the country.

ChargeJet&#039;s App-Free Charging directly
addresses this challenge by removing all onboarding requirements and granting
users immediate, frictionless access the moment they arrive at a station.

Founder&#039;s Vision: Simplicity as the
Foundation for EV Adoption

Anirudh Krishan Vaishnav, Founder of
ChargeJet, has long maintained that the future of EV infrastructure must go
beyond simply adding more stations; it must also ensure those stations are
genuinely easy to use for every driver, regardless of technical comfort or
familiarity with digital platforms.

&quot;At ChargeJet, we believe EV charging
should be as simple as making a digital payment. Our App-Free Charging feature
removes unnecessary steps and allows users to start charging instantly. This
innovation is aimed at making charging infrastructure more accessible and
improving the overall EV ownership experience across India,&quot; said
Vaishnav.

He also spoke about the broader
significance of this development for India&#039;s electric mobility goals. &quot;The
future of EV charging lies in simplicity and accessibility. By eliminating the
need for app downloads, we are reducing barriers for first-time users and
making public charging easier for every EV owner,&quot; he added.

By aligning the ChargeJet experience with
payment habits that Indians already practise daily, the company aims to make EV
charging feel less like a technical process and more like a seamless, everyday
transaction, familiar, frictionless, and fast.

Key Benefits of the App-Free Charging
Feature

The newly launched App-Free Charging
feature delivers a range of practical advantages designed to benefit drivers at
every stage of their charging journey:


 Instant QR-Based Access: Users scan
     the QR code at the charger to initiate a session without prior
     registration or account setup. 
 Secure Digital Payments: All
     transactions are processed through trusted digital payment gateways,
     ensuring reliable and safe payments every time. 
 No App Downloads Required: Drivers
     can access ChargeJet&#039;s network without installing any application or
     consuming storage space on their devices. 
 No Wallet Balance to Maintain:
     Unlike many platforms, ChargeJet does not require users to pre-load or
     track a dedicated wallet balance, simplifying the payment experience
     considerably. 
 Faster Session Start Times: The
     streamlined process significantly cuts the time between a driver arriving
     at the station and actively charging their vehicle. 


ChargeJet&#039;s Expanding Presence in
India&#039;s EV Infrastructure Space

Founded in Jaipur, Rajasthan, ChargeJet has
steadily built its standing as one of India&#039;s emerging ultra-fast EV charging
startups. Driven by a strong commitment to technology, reliability, and
customer convenience, the company has positioned itself at the intersection of
smart infrastructure and user-centred design. Its expanding network of charging
stations reflects a deliberate focus on strategic location placement,
high-performance charging speeds, and a consistently smooth user experience
from arrival to departure.

The launch of App-Free Charging marks a key
milestone in ChargeJet&#039;s growth, reinforcing the company&#039;s conviction that
building great EV infrastructure is as much about removing barriers as it is
about adding stations. As India presses forward on its journey toward cleaner
and greener transportation, ChargeJet&#039;s latest innovation makes a clear
statement: the next chapter of EV charging in India will be defined not only by
speed and coverage, but by simplicity and inclusivity for every driver on the
road.

About ChargeJet

ChargeJet is a Jaipur-based ultra-fast EV
charging network focused on building reliable, accessible, and high-performance
charging infrastructure across India. The company is committed to accelerating
electric mobility adoption through innovative technology solutions, strategic
partnerships, and a growing network of charging stations designed for the
modern EV user. ]]></description>

<title>Prof C. Raj Kumar &amp;amp; Dr. Shashi Tharoor Address Japan’s Parliament National Diet as JGU Deepens Academic Ties</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 1
July 2026 | Tokyo, Japan :  In
a rare honour reflecting the growing depth, maturity, and strategic importance
of India–Japan relations, Professor C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor of
O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU), and Dr. Shashi Tharoor, Member of
Parliament, India, addressed a distinguished bipartisan gathering of Members of
the National Diet of Japan at the National Diet Building in Tokyo. Their
addresses highlighted the complementary roles of higher education and
parliamentary diplomacy in advancing one of Asia’s most important democratic
partnerships through research, innovation, academic collaboration, and
people-to-people engagement.

The
significance of the interaction was heightened by coinciding with the official
visit of the Prime Minister of Japan  Ms
Sanae Takaichi to India and the India–Japan Annual Summit with Prime Minister
Narendra Modi. As both governments continue to deepen their
Special Strategic and Global Partnership at the highest political level, the
discussions in Tokyo demonstrated that enduring bilateral relationships are
strengthened not only by governments but also by parliaments, universities,
scholars, students, industry, and civil society.

The
interaction was chaired by Mr. Fukushiro Nukaga, the 80th Speaker of
the House of Representatives of Japan, and brought together an exceptional and
bipartisan gathering of Members of the National Diet representing both the
House of Representatives and the House of Councillors. The
meeting was attended by senior parliamentary leaders, former ministers, government
representatives, eminent diplomats, distinguished academics, policy experts,
and industry leaders from across Japan. The breadth of participation reflected
Japan’s strong bipartisan commitment to strengthening parliamentary dialogue,
educational cooperation, democratic engagement, innovation, and institutional
partnerships with India.



Professor
C. Raj Kumar spoke of the indispensable role of universities in shaping the
future of international relations. He observed that institutions of higher
learning today are far more than centres of education. They are global
platforms where ideas cross borders, innovation flourishes, research addresses
common challenges, and future leaders learn to work together across cultures
and nations.

“Asia’s
evolving geopolitical landscape demonstrates that the strongest international
partnerships are patiently built through sustained investments in education,
research, technology, human capital, institutional cooperation, and innovation.
India and Japan, he said, possess a unique opportunity to deepen their
relationship further by investing in universities, scientific collaboration,
entrepreneurship, academic mobility, and knowledge partnerships,” He said. He
called for a future in which Indian and Japanese universities work even more
closely together, researchers jointly address global challenges, students move
more freely between both countries, and governments, industry, and academia
collectively develop solutions for the Indo-Pacific and beyond. Such
investments, he argued, create relationships that are resilient because they
are founded not only on policy but also on people.

Highlighting
JGU’s own engagement with Japan, Professor Raj Kumar noted that the
University’s partnerships with 27 leading Japanese institutions and the
participation of nearly 200 students in study abroad programmes across Japan
reflect a sustained institutional commitment to building long-term academic
cooperation. These partnerships have strengthened student mobility, faculty
collaboration, joint research, innovation, and intercultural understanding,
demonstrating how universities can serve as enduring bridges between nations.

Professor
Raj Kumar observed that higher education has become one of the defining pillars
of contemporary India–Japan relations because universities cultivate trust,
mutual understanding, leadership, and lifelong friendships that strengthen
bilateral cooperation across generations. 

Concluding
his address, Professor Raj Kumar remarked that if the 20th century
laid the foundations of trust between India and Japan, the 21st  century must become one in which that trust
is transformed into a comprehensive partnership driven by knowledge,
technology, sustainability, innovation, entrepreneurship, and shared democratic
values. Sharing the platform with Dr. Shashi Tharoor, he described the occasion
as a powerful affirmation of the complementary roles that higher education and
parliamentary diplomacy can play in advancing one of Asia’s most significant
strategic partnerships.

Dr.
Shashi Tharoor reflected on the equally important role of parliamentary
diplomacy and observed that diplomacy is not merely about negotiating interests
or responding to crises. At its finest, he said, diplomacy preserves
memory, reflects mutual respect, and inspires nations to imagine and build a
better future together.

Reflecting
on the centuries-old relationship between India and Japan, Dr. Tharoor said,
“The friendship between the two countries has been nurtured through Buddhism,
cultural exchange, democratic values, and deep civilisational respect. This
shared history, is not only a source of pride but also a responsibility. The
challenge before both nations is not to create a new friendship but to
continually renew and strengthen an enduring one through institutions capable
of serving future generations. While governments create strategic partnerships,
it is ultimately people who sustain them. The future of India–Japan relations
will depend as much upon the relationships built among students, scholars,
parliamentarians, entrepreneurs, artists, innovators, scientists, and citizens
as upon agreements signed by governments. These enduring human connections
transform strategic cooperation into lasting partnership.” 

Members
of the National Diet spoke warmly of their longstanding engagement with India
and expressed admiration for India’s civilisational heritage, democratic
traditions, constitutional institutions, economic transformation, and expanding
global role. They reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening parliamentary
exchanges, educational partnerships, academic collaboration, scientific
research, innovation, and people-to-people ties between the two democracies.

The
discussions reflected a shared conviction that the future of India–Japan
relations will not be shaped solely by diplomacy, economics, or security
cooperation but equally by the strength of democratic institutions,
universities, research collaborations, cultural understanding, and the
opportunities created for young people to learn from one another.

At
a time when India and Japan are engaging at the highest political level to
shape the future of their Special Strategic and Global Partnership, the
interaction in Tokyo served as a timely reminder that governments alone cannot
build enduring international relationships. Universities, parliaments,
scholars, researchers, entrepreneurs, and civil society together provide the
institutional foundations that enable strategic partnerships to flourish across
generations.

The
addresses delivered by Professor C. Raj Kumar and Dr. Shashi Tharoor marked
another important milestone in the expanding relationship between India and
Japan. They reaffirmed the central role of democratic institutions, higher
education, research, innovation, and people-to-people engagement in advancing
peace, prosperity, sustainability, and stability across the Indo-Pacific and
beyond.

Distinguished

The
interaction was chaired by Mr. Fukushiro Nukaga, the 80th Speaker of
the House of Representatives of Japan, and brought together an exceptionally
distinguished and bipartisan gathering of Members of the National Diet of
Japan, senior parliamentary leaders, former ministers, government

<title>AVPN Announces New Strategy to Mobilise Capital for Asia’s USD 26&#45;Trillion Social and Environmental Transformation</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Strategy
underscores its call for Asia’s leaders to shift from participation to
leadership in advancing Asia-led solutions

INDIA,
1 JULY 2026  :  AVPN,
Asia’s largest platform for social impact, today announced a strategic
evolution of its products and community models, in response to shifts in the
global macro landscape and the growing urgency in Asia’s impact needs. The
region faces a USD 26-trillion financing need through 2030 to maintain growth,
eradicate poverty and respond to climate changes. AVPN is calling on Asia’s
philanthropists, capital holders, and government leaders to take transformative
action by shaping an Asia-led framework for how capital must be designed,
deployed and coordinated – to meet Asia’s social and environmental needs. 

India
sits at the heart of this call. As the world’s most populous country and one of
Asia’s fastest-growing economies, India’s total
funding grew at a 13% CAGR between FY20 and FY25 to roughly INR 27 lakh crore
(USD 310 billion) and is projected to reach INR 50 lakh crore (USD 570 billion)
by FY30, yet a USD 180 billion
remains between current spending and need. As a priority market, India’s
integrated capital ecosystem is increasingly driving scalable social investment
solutions throughout Asia.

Entering
its 15th year of moving capital towards Impact for Asia, this
evolution affirms AVPN’s role as an Asia-led platform that builds an impact
ecosystem rooted in on-ground realities, drives a more prosperous and inclusive
Asia, and strengthens the region’s influence on global impact action.

“Asia
can no longer be a passive participant in global impact conversations,” said Achal Agarwal,
Chair, AVPN. “This USD 26‑trillion gap is not just a
financing shortfall; it is an opportunity for Asia to design its own playbook
and lead with frameworks grounded in our realities, while shaping global
approaches for a more equitable, inclusive and prosperous future.”

Asia’s
impact landscape is entering a phase of greater complexity and urgency, with
capital pools growing, but deployment remaining fragmented across markets,
sectors and stakeholder priorities. Official Development Assistance (ODA) fell by 23.1% in
2025 with a further decline projected for 2026,
even as needs continue to rise. Global frameworks, while useful, often fail to
capture Asia’s diversity, complexity and context. Within the region’s broader
financing need, it also faces a USD 1.5 trillion annual
SDG financing gap, underscoring the need for more coordinated
capital.

Meeting
India’s SDG commitments requires an estimated  6% of GDP annually,
while climate ambitions imply over USD 22 trillion
in cumulative financing through 2070. In 2025, USD 5.29 billion in equity capital was deployed
across 256 impact-driven enterprises,
reflecting steady sectoral growth. India now has over 300 family offices
managing more than USD 30 billion in assets,
alongside expanding high-net-worth wealth creation. CSR continues to channel
billions annually into social priorities. These capital pools are growing in
scale and sophistication but require stronger systems for coordinated
deployment.

Building
on this, AVPN’s strategic evolution introduces its community model, previously
known as membership tiers, redesigned for impact at scale. This is to expand
its engagement with the impact ecosystem, such that coordination and
collaboration can be multiplied.

The
Vantage and Discovery pathways are designed to
balance breadth with depth.

●     
Vantage: A
paid, relationship-led experience designed for organisations seeking deeper
strategic engagement, dedicated support, curated connections, and leadership
opportunities.

●     
Discovery: A
flexible engagement pathway that enables organisations to access the AVPN
ecosystem and engage through a combination of complimentary and pay-per-use
opportunities.

AVPN’s
product portfolio remains focused around four thematic priorities – Climate
Action, Health Impact, Gender Equality and Economic Inclusion, which will be
activated through dynamic cross‑cutting levers such as AI, policy, impact
investing and faith‑based giving. These impact levers ensure AVPN and its
impact ecosystem continually unlock new forms of capital and innovation to meet
the rising needs of the region.

The
new strategy reinforces AVPN’s mission of translating intent into impact by
bringing together people, ideas and resources for Asia, and its vision of a
thriving impact ecosystem that drives a prosperous and inclusive Asia. AVPN
delivers this strategy through flagship convenings such as the AVPN Global
Conference and summits, pooled funds, policy dialogues and thematic‑specific
initiatives, AVPN will amplify community voices, connect unlikely allies and
catalyse coalitions that can drive systems‑level change. Current initiatives
include partnerships with Indonesia on health impact, with India on energy
transition, collaborations with the ASEAN Business Advisory Council on
corporate CSR, and work with ASEAN Ministries of Education on economic
inclusion enabled by AI and technology.

“When
Asia leads with its own frameworks, informed by local realities and grounded in
trust, partnership and mutuality, we can turn challenges into opportunities for
generations to come. Asia’s leaders must now step up. There is no time to
waste. We should not be participants in our own region; we need to be
architects of our Asia-led blueprint for impact. And, AVPN’s role as a trusted
impact ecosystem is to provide the connective tissue that allows capital to
move with confidence across borders, sectors and instruments, so that ambition
becomes action,” added Naina Subberwal Batra,
CEO, AVPN.

This
August, AVPN brings the Global Conference to India for the first time in its
thirteen-year history, convening more than 2,000 delegates at Bharat Mandapam
in New Delhi from 25 to 27 August. The decision to host in India signals AVPN&#039;s
intent to anchor the region&#039;s impact agenda where the financing challenge is
most acute and where the solutions developed carry the broadest relevance for
Asia.

Solving
Asia&#039;s social and environmental challenges demands the full continuum of
capital, where grants, debt, and equity are intentionally aligned to move
solutions from innovation to scale. Asia needs more than just diverse forms of
capital but also shared accountability among partners that reduces perceived
risk and enables actors across sectors to converge around collective outcomes.
With over 700 organisations across 43 markets, and a 15-year track record of
building Asia’s impact ecosystem, AVPN is committed to meet this challenge with
clarity and purpose for the hundreds of millions of people whose futures depend
on the region getting this right.

About
AVPN

AVPN
is Asia’s largest platform for social impact, where over 700 resource
providers, innovators and intermediaries from across 43 markets collaborate to
mobilise capital.  Grounded in deep
regional expertise and partnerships, AVPN is building a thriving ecosystem that
accelerates measurable progress toward inclusive growth, empowering Asia to
lead the way in global impact. AVPN’s mission is to translate intent into
impact by bringing together people, ideas, and resources for Asia. We do this
by strengthening partnerships, fostering open collaboration, and enabling the
coordinated flow of resources across markets and borders. Together with our
community, AVPN is building a thriving impact ecosystem that drives a
prosperous and inclusive Asia.

<title>Flipick Launches AI Video Platform That Creates, Personalizes, Delivers and Measures Effectiveness of Cinematic Video at Scale</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/flipick-launches-ai-video-platform-that-creates-personalizes-delivers-and-measures-effectiveness-of-cinematic-video-at-scale</link>

<description><![CDATA[  One
platform turns a brief into a finished, on-brand film, delivers it personally
to every viewer, and measures who watched.

Pune,
India, July 1, 2026 : Flipick,
a learning-technology company, today announced the launch of its AI video platform, an
end-to-end studio that creates cinematic, studio-grade video, distributes it
personally to every viewer, and measures the effectiveness. Where most AI tools
stop at a single clip and a download, Flipick runs the whole production job -
from a written screenplay through personalized delivery to audit-ready proof of
who watched, who finished, and who acted.

&quot;Most
tools stop at the download. We don&#039;t,&quot; said Ravi Dugal, Founder &amp;
CEO of Flipick while describing the platform. Flipick has deep roots in
enterprise learning. For 15+ years, Flipick LMS and video content creation
services have powered enterprise learning across many global companies like
Pearson, Jindal Steel, Clarivate, Indian Institute of Banking &amp; Finance
(IIBF), and more.

A
real production pipeline, run by AI

Every
Flipick video runs the same nine-stage pipeline on a single platform: write,
storyboard, generate, hold consistency, overlay, edit, localize, deliver, and
measure. The approach is deliberately storyboard-first — teams approve the
story before spending a single credit. The Screenplay Creator structures a
brief into a scene-by-scene script; the storyboard locks every shot for
sign-off; only then does the platform render. Revisions happen on the page, not
on the render bill.

Inside
the studio, five tools do
the heavy lifting:

Screenplay
Builder turns a brief into a production-ready,
scene-by-scene script with narrative arc, shot breakdowns, voiceover and
dialogue, and selectable campaign styles and pacing.

Video
Builder generates each approved shot, renders the
beats and assembles the cut, with the ability to regenerate a single beat or
shot without disturbing the rest.

Asset
Library lets organizations build a brand world once —
ambassadors, products, characters and locations — and reuse it across every
project.

Ingredients
store static building blocks such as logos, backgrounds and product shots for
assembly into personalized frames.

Overlays
composite text, logos, pricing, disclaimers and CTAs on top of the generated
video.

Consistency
raw AI can&#039;t match

Flipick&#039;s
central differentiator is consistency - the thing raw generators struggle to
do. The platform holds a presenter&#039;s face, wardrobe and a brand&#039;s products
steady across an entire film, from scene one through scene nine. Lock them
once, and they stay consistent throughout, branded and localized into any
language without re-recording.

The
Overlays system turns one master video into hundreds of variants. Teams define
variables in a spreadsheet - brand name, price, logo - and produce a named file
for each row. Because financial values live on the overlay rather than being
baked into the AI video, regulated content stays accurate and auditable, and a
single master can generate 500 brand variants for a fraction of the cost of
producing 500 separate videos.

Delivered
personally, then measured



Beyond
creation, Flipick&#039;s distribution product (VVP) renders a personal cut for each
recipient - mapping fields such as name, role, branch and language - and
delivers it by link, email, in-app, or directly through an LMS. The platform
authenticates viewer identity before playback, then tracks per-viewer
completion, drop-off and re-watch, and ties every overlay CTA to the action
that followed. The result is audit-ready proof rather than impressions: knowing
who watched, who finished, and who acted.

Transparent,
credit-based pricing

Flipick
is priced entirely in credits across its two products - AI Video Creation and
VVP Distribution — with one credit equal to ₹1, and a live calculator that
estimates any campaign before a customer spends a thing. Creation is priced per
finished minute, starting from a base of 3,300 credits per minute, while
distribution is priced per recipient and grows cheaper at scale, falling from
50 credits per recipient down to 20 at high volume. As a worked example, a
one-minute, moderately edited film delivered to 500 viewers comes to roughly
24,250 credits (about ₹24,250).

Quote
from Founder

“For
years, teams could generate a video clip but not a result - they couldn’t keep
it on brand, personalize it at scale, or measure effectiveness. We built
Flipick around the whole job.” said Ravi Dugal, Founder &amp; CEO of
Flipick.

Availability
of the Platform

The
Flipick AI video platform is available from 1st July 2026. Teams can book a
demo to take one of their own briefs from screenplay to a measured campaign. To
learn more, visit Flipick at www.flipick.com

<title>AI Era Leadership Framework Gains Global Attention as Forbes&#45;Recognized Influential Leader Harsh Sanghvi Launches Your Leadership Advantage</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/ai-era-leadership-framework-gains-global-attention-as-forbes-recognized-influential-leader-harsh-sanghvi-launches-your-leadership-advantage</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Innovative
leadership thinker, author, and business scientist introduces Experiential
Leadership® framework designed to help professionals thrive in an AI-driven
world.

As
artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries, organizations are
increasingly confronting a critical question: what will distinguish exceptional
leaders when technology can automate intelligence, processes, and
decision-making at unprecedented scale?

According
to Harsh Sanghvi, a Forbes-recognized Influential Leader with Global Impact,
the answer lies in human experience.

An
alumnus of HEC Paris, IIM Calcutta, Amity, and Manipal, Sanghvi has built a
distinguished career across global enterprises, startups, and government
engagements spanning India, Europe, the United States, and the GCC. Currently
serving as Vice President, Strategy, Delivery &amp; People at Incrivelsoft LLC
and leading The Harsh Sanghvi Network (THSN) Group, he is widely recognized for
combining enterprise execution with research-driven leadership practices.

His
latest work, 

Your Leadership Advantage

,
introduces Experiential Leadership®, a proprietary framework developed to
address one of the most pressing challenges in modern workplaces: the gap
between leadership capability and leadership experience.

Experiential
Leadership® is endorsed and promoted by leaders from the United Nations (UN),
the World Economic Forum (WEF), Ernst &amp; Young (EY), JPMorgan Chase, and
Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD), among many others.

From
Corporate Experience to Leadership Framework

The
concept of Experiential Leadership® emerged from Sanghvi’s observations across
organizations of varying sizes and sectors. While companies continue to invest
heavily in skills, technology, and operational excellence, many professionals
still struggle with engagement, collaboration, fulfillment, and sustainable
performance.

The
framework presents a different perspective by defining leadership not as
authority or hierarchy, but as the experience people create for themselves and
others. It focuses on how individuals influence the way people think, feel,
decide, and act.

Drawing
from global academic research, practical leadership experience, and timeless
wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita, Experiential Leadership® bridges professional
success with meaningful human experience. Supported by scientific research from
institutions including Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, HEC Paris, Yale, Wharton, and
IIM Bangalore, the framework is designed to be practicable across generations
while leveraging the neuroscience of happiness to help individuals and
organizations flourish.

Designed
for the AI Generation

As AI
adoption accelerates, discussions around the future of leadership have
intensified. While artificial intelligence can improve productivity and support
decision-making, Sanghvi believes that empathy, trust, purpose, emotional
intelligence, and authentic human connection will become even more valuable.

Experiential
Leadership® addresses this shift by helping individuals strengthen what Sanghvi
calls Experiential Intelligence (XI). The framework emphasizes that the future
belongs not to AI alone, but to the powerful combination of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Experiential Intelligence (XI), creating enhanced human
intelligence and deeper human connection.

The
framework also introduces the concept of a Leadership Guardrail, reinforcing
the idea that intelligent systems should remain guided by human values, ethics,
and intentional decision-making.

Who
Can Benefit from the Book?

Unlike
many traditional leadership books aimed primarily at executives, Your
Leadership Advantage is written for a broad audience, including:

•
Working professionals seeking career growth
• Managers and team
leaders
• Entrepreneurs and
startup founders
• Students and
emerging leaders
• Individuals seeking
greater purpose, fulfillment, and impact

The
framework is especially relevant during periods of change, leadership
development initiatives, organizational growth, career transitions, and
AI-driven workplace transformation.

The
Head–Heart–Soul–Hand Practice

At
the heart of the book lies the Head–Heart–Soul–Hand model:

•
Head: Think with clarity and intention
• Heart: Lead with
empathy and connection
• Soul: Stay anchored
in purpose and meaning
• Hand: Act with
discipline and consistency

According
to Sanghvi, Head–Heart–Soul–Hand is an integrated approach that enables individuals
to learn, adopt, and practice leadership in real time, transforming it into a
daily habit that strengthens people, process, and product capabilities
effortlessly.

More
than a framework, it serves as a way of being, a way of living, and a way of
doing—a practical operating system for life and leadership.

The
model helps individuals:

•
Bridge their leadership experience gap
• Design better
experiences for themselves and others
• Build stronger
people, processes, and products
• Create environments
where growth feels natural rather than forced
• Achieve both
Leadership Excellence and Leadership Experience Excellence

Global
Availability

Your
Leadership Advantage is available globally in paperback, hardcover, eBook, and
audiobook formats across more than 150 countries.

Readers
can access the book through Notion Press, Amazon India, Amazon Global, Amazon UK, Amazon Kindle, Flipkart, Kobo, Audible, Google Play Books, and Apple Books.

Why
Readers Are Taking Notice

As
organizations navigate rapid technological transformation, professionals are
increasingly searching for practical ways to remain relevant, respected, and
impactful.

The
book combines leadership science, behavioral insights, and actionable practices
to help readers strengthen influence, improve workplace relationships, enhance
credibility, build collaboration, adapt to the AI era, and create meaningful
experiences that drive long-term success.

By
integrating AI-era realities with deeply human leadership principles,
Experiential Leadership® offers a contemporary framework for individuals and
organizations seeking sustainable growth and impact.

Looking
Ahead

As
conversations around artificial intelligence continue to dominate boardrooms
and business strategy, leadership experts increasingly agree that technical
capability alone will not define future success.

The
ability to create trust, meaning, purpose, and positive human experiences may
become the defining leadership advantage of the coming decade.

Through
Your Leadership Advantage, Harsh Sanghvi seeks to advance a larger mission he
describes as “democratizing leadership to democratize happiness.”

Global recognition from T4 Education’s World’s
Best School Prizes honours Inventure’s work in community collaboration and
public-private school partnerships, to create opportunities for all children to
thrive. 

Bengaluru, July 01,
2026 : Inventure Academy, Bengaluru (India Learning
Foundation) has been named among the Top 10 schools globally for the World’s
Best School Prize for Community Collaboration 2026 by T4 Education, recognising
the school’s efforts to build partnerships that strengthen learning, community
impact and nation building, creating a meaningful impact beyond its own campus.


Established in 2022,
the World’s Best School Prizes celebrate schools that are transforming lives
and sharing practices that can help improve education around the world. 

The recognition
highlights a philosophy that has shaped Inventure Academy since its founding in
2005: that schools do their best work when they learn and grow alongside the
communities they serve. 

These
collaborations have taken many forms, from initiatives such as the Change Maker
Challenge and Our Voice to musical productions, community outreach,
internships, and partnerships with civic organisations, researchers and public
institutions. Together, they have created opportunities for students and educators
to engage meaningfully with issues of public importance, contributing insights
and lived experiences to conversations around child safety and wellbeing,
educational equity, the implementation of India’s National Education Policy,
and the Right to Learn. They have also encouraged greater civic awareness of
the opportunities and challenges facing the city, including questions of
mobility, infrastructure and access, helping elevate the voices of young people
in discussions about the future of their communities. Through performances,
campaigns and community events, the Inventure community has also helped
mobilise awareness and resources for its partner schools, extending learning
and social impact beyond the classroom.

One of the most
significant examples of this approach has been its partnership with the
Government Higher Primary School, Ramagondanahalli (RGH), launched in 2019 in
collaboration with the Karnataka Department of Public Instruction and
Whitefield Rising. 

Over the past five
years, enrolment at the school has increased from fewer than 200 to almost
1,200, with a further 350 students on the waitlist. The first three Grade 10
cohorts recorded a

100 per cent board
examination pass rate, while independent ASER assessments showed learning
outcomes well above State averages and, in some grades, among the highest in
the country. Over this period, Inventure enabled the recruitment of 40 teachers
at RGH and today sustains a total of 64 teachers across its community schools. 

In 2024, the Ramagondanahalli partnership was
extended for a further 10 years, with Inventure committing more than ₹44 crore
(approximately US$5.1 million) towards the programme’s operations and
implementation over the next decade. Building on this success, in 2025,
Inventure, together with Prestige Group and the Navodaya Foundation, expanded
the model to three additional government schools in partnership with the
Karnataka Department of School Education: Government Tamil Higher Primary
School, Thimmaiah Road, Shivajinagar; Government Urdu Model School,
Siddahosanahalli, near the Yeshwanthpur campus; and Government Higher Primary
School, Kodathi, near the Whitefield-Sarjapur campus. Prestige Group has
committed ₹62.28 crore (approximately US$7.2 million) over the next decade
towards these partnerships, while the Navodaya Foundation has committed ₹1.5
crore (approximately US$175,000) over the first three years. Together, these
commitments take the combined long-term investment across Inventure’s community
school ecosystem to more than ₹108 crore (approximately US$12.6 million). 



Beyond its community school partnerships,
Inventure’s wider ecosystem includes collaborations with civic organisations,
research institutions and global networks, including B.PAC, Whitefield Rising,
IIT Gandhinagar, the New York Academy of Sciences, Prayoga, Round Square and
the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN). These partnerships
create opportunities for students and educators to engage with real-world
questions and contribute to communities beyond the classroom. 

Commenting on the recognition, Irfan Razack,
Founder &amp; Chairman, Inventure Academy, (India Learning Foundation) and
Chairman &amp; Managing Director, Prestige Group, said: 

“This recognition is a reminder that the true
measure of a school lies not only in the success of its own students, but in
the difference it makes to the communities around it. From the very beginning,
Inventure was envisioned as an institution that would contribute beyond its own
campus, and our work with community schools reflects that enduring commitment.
Seeing that vision recognised on a global stage is deeply gratifying, but even
more importantly, it strengthens our resolve to continue building partnerships
that expand opportunity for every child.” 

Nooraine Fazal, Founder
and Managing Trustee of Inventure Academy (India Learning Foundation), added: 

&quot;This recognition belongs to the many
communities that have shaped and strengthened Inventure over the years. We have
always believed that schools can be far more than places where children learn.
They can be catalysts for connection, opportunity and positive change. When
schools, families, communities and public institutions come together around a
shared purpose, extraordinary things become possible for our youth.

This recognition affirms our belief that
education achieves its greatest impact when it extends beyond the walls of a
school and contributes to the well-being and success of the wider community. We
are honoured to share this recognition with the students, educators, families,
partners and communities who have made this journey possible. We hope it
encourages more schools and communities to work together to strengthen
educational ecosystems, nurture changemakers, and create a more equitable and
sustainable future for all.” 

The Top 10 shortlist was selected from
thousands of applications worldwide. Winners of the five World’s Best School
Prizes will be announced later this year by T4 Education’s Judging Academy. 

The
shortlisted schools are also eligible for the Community Choice Award,
determined through a public vote.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, India, 30 June 2026: After announcing its India entry with a ₹100 crore investment
commitment, US-headquartered Evolution Cloud Services (EVOCS)’ Indian entity
Velloe hosted an exclusive leadership roundtable and launch event in Mumbai,
bringing together government representatives, technology leaders, channel
partners and industry stakeholders to discuss the future of AI infrastructure
and digital transformation in India.

The event was graced by Shri Ashish Shelar, Hon’ble Minister of
Information Technology and Cultural Affairs, Government of Maharashtra, who
congratulated the Velloe leadership team on bringing global technology
expertise to India and creating new-age employment opportunities across
Maharashtra and the country.

Speaking at the event, Shri Ashish Shelar highlighted Maharashtra’s
commitment towards strengthening its technology ecosystem and enabling faster
adoption of digital solutions. He also spoke about the launch of the Maha AI
platform, an initiative aimed at empowering administrative teams with
AI-enabled capabilities to improve efficiency, accelerate workflows and create
a faster internal governance ecosystem.

“Technology and AI will play a critical role in shaping the future of
governance, businesses and employment opportunities. Maharashtra continues to
focus on creating an ecosystem that encourages innovation, improves efficiency
and attracts global technology capabilities. We welcome organisations like
Velloe that bring international expertise, investment and skilled employment
opportunities to Maharashtra and India,” said Shri Ashish Shelar, Hon’ble
Minister of Information Technology and Cultural Affairs, Government of
Maharashtra.

Velloe’s Mumbai roundtable focused on the increasing need for AI-ready
infrastructure as organisations move beyond traditional digital transformation
towards intelligent, scalable and secure technology ecosystems. Industry
leaders discussed how AI adoption will require strong foundations across cloud
infrastructure, data centres, cybersecurity, automation and skilled technology talent.

Speaking on the occasion, Thomas Joseph Marcin, Co-Founder and CEO,
EVOCS APAC, said, “India represents one of the most exciting technology
opportunities globally. The country has the right combination of talent,
innovation capability and digital ambition to become a global leader in
AI-driven transformation. Through Velloe, our objective is to bring EVOCS’
global expertise and work closely with Indian enterprises to build future-ready
technology ecosystems.”

EVOCS recently announced its India expansion through Velloe with a
₹100 crore investment towards strengthening AI infrastructure capabilities,
building technology talent and expanding its presence across the country. As
part of this expansion, Mr. Marcin recently launched the company&#039;s new Noida
Innovation Centre. Starting with this Noida hub and a team of over 100

help enterprises accelerate innovation, improve efficiency, and unlock
meaningful outcomes from their digital transformation journeys. A vital pillar
of this vision is our new Offshore Development Center (ODC) in Jaipur. By
establishing this hub, we are not only scaling our technological capabilities
but also investing deeply back into our roots, empowering local talent and
driving sustainable innovation from the heart of Rajasthan. As AI adoption
accelerates globally, data centres and intelligent infrastructure are becoming
the backbone of the digital economy. Velloe aims to support enterprises with
cloud modernisation, AI-driven observability, automation, cybersecurity,
managed operations and next-generation infrastructure solutions.”

Highlighting the technology roadmap, Sumit Kumar, Chief Technology
&amp; Innovation Officer, EVOCS India, said, “AI is fundamentally an
infrastructure challenge before it becomes an application opportunity.
Enterprises today require scalable, secure and intelligent digital foundations
that can support the next generation of AI-driven businesses. Velloe brings
together global expertise, automation and intelligent operations to help
organisations become truly AI-ready.”

Speaking about Velloe’s business vision, Yogesh Sahu, Chief Product
&amp; Business Officer, EVOCS APAC, said, “The organisations that will lead

data-driven transformation, and continuous innovation.

<title>Brands That Don&amp;apos;t Fix Their Positioning Will Continue to See Their CAC Rising, Says BrandLoom</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/brands-that-dont-fix-their-positioning-will-continue-to-see-their-cac-rising-says-brandloom</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/brands-that-dont-fix-their-positioning-will-continue-to-see-their-cac-rising-says-brandloom</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, India — June 30, 2026  : The CAC crisis gripping digital marketers today is being fundamentally
misdiagnosed, argues BrandLoom, a growth-focused
branding and digital consulting firm.
Brands with weak, undifferentiated positioning will see their CAC continue to
rise, and their margins shrink, says BrandLoom.

A study shows that 84% of companies are stuck in a brand
&quot;doom loop,&quot; a cycle in which underfunded measurement leads to
unclear impact, rising skepticism, and tighter budgets.

&quot;Businesses keep looking for the answer in their
channel mix or their bid strategy,&quot; said Avinash Chandra,
Founder and CEO of BrandLoom.
&quot;But when positioning is unclear, you end up talking to everyone and
converting no one. The media spend becomes a tax on the absence of
differentiation.&quot;

The CAC Inflation Is a Brand Problem, Not A Media Problem

Google and Meta CPCs have been rising sharply year on year.
Average conversion rates across industries sit at just two to three percent.
B2B purchase decisions now involve six to ten decision-makers, stretching sales
cycles and compounding acquisition costs at every stage.

But BrandLoom points to a less visible force driving CAC
inflation that media optimization cannot fix. When brands carry generic
messaging, compete on price by default, and chase channel performance before
establishing what they stand for, they create a structural inefficiency that
compounds over time.

Every rupee spent on reach amplifies a message that does not
differentiate. Every conversion arrives harder and costs more than it should.

&quot;The real CAC culprits are strategic, not
tactical,&quot; Chandra said. &quot;Talking to everyone, competing on price,
chasing channels before clarifying the message, these are positioning failures.
And you cannot solve a positioning failure by optimizing your CPM.&quot;

Strong Positioning Helps Reduce CAC and Improve Revenue Over
Time

The financial case for brand positioning is more concrete
than most marketing conversations acknowledge.

Strongly positioned brands command price premiums over
undifferentiated competitors. Companies with clearly defined positioning grow
faster.

Referrals, the most direct output of brand trust, carry a
significantly higher lifetime value than leads from other channels.

These are acquisition economics, not vanity metrics.

&quot;Brand authority is a CAC multiplier,&quot; Chandra
said. &quot;It does not just make your marketing feel better. It makes your
entire acquisition engine structurally more efficient. The best-positioned
brands are also, almost without exception, the most capital-efficient acquirers
of customers.&quot;

The Positioning Failures Driving CAC Up

BrandLoom has identified a consistent set of positioning
failures it sees across growth-stage and enterprise organizations. Broad
audience profiles with no defined Ideal Customer Profile. Messaging built
around features and capabilities rather than measurable outcomes.

Inconsistent communication across platforms erodes brand
recognition rather than building it. Bold claims with no proof points attached.
And perhaps most damaging, a heavy investment in reach before establishing what
the brand actually stands for.

&quot;If you removed your logo from your website, your
social media, and your sales deck, would anyone know it was you?&quot; Chandra
said. &quot;If the answer is no, you do not have a media problem. You have a
positioning problem. And that is what is driving your CAC.&quot;

BrandLoom&#039;s Five-Step Positioning Framework: From Brand
Clarity to CAC Reduction

BrandLoom&#039;s approach to reducing CAC through positioning is
built on a five-step framework: Research, Define, Articulate, Align, and
Measure, beginning with a rigorous audit of customer interviews, win-loss
analysis, the competitive landscape, and internal surveys to establish the
strategic foundation.

Critically, BrandLoom treats positioning not as a marketing
deliverable but as a company-wide strategic anchor. When positioning is clear,
it aligns sales, product, marketing, and leadership around a single coherent
narrative, creating a fundamentally more efficient growth system, not just
better advertising.

Within BrandLoom&#039;s AIM Growth Architecture, positioning
clarity is the prerequisite for strategic alignment. Without it, integration
amplifies noise. With it, every initiative, paid, organic, and content referral
compounds toward the same outcome.

&quot;Positioning is not a tagline or a logo refresh. It is
the strategic declaration of the unique space your brand owns in the customer&#039;s
mind,&quot; Chandra said. &quot;When that space is clearly held, the entire
economics of growth changes.&quot;

About BrandLoom

BrandLoom is a Strategic Brand, Digital, Design &amp;
Intelligence Partner helping businesses build scalable, measurable, and
trust-driven growth systems.

We help growth-focused and enterprise brands move beyond
fragmented marketing activities by integrating brand strategy, digital growth,
customer experience, analytics, and AI-enhanced intelligence into connected
growth systems designed to improve visibility, customer acquisition, customer
experience, operational efficiency, and measurable ROI.

Through its integrated growth approach, BrandLoom combines
strategy, creativity, digital performance, design, analytics, and AI-powered
intelligence to help businesses scale more effectively in the evolving digital
economy.

<title>Sudhanshu Vats Assumes Office as President of the Bombay Chamber, Unveils Vision for an AI&#45;Powered, Future&#45;Ready Chamber</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
June 30th , 2026: The Bombay Chamber of Commerce &amp;
Industry, India&#039;s oldest chamber of commerce, ushered in a new chapter at its
190th Annual General Meeting, with Sudhanshu Vats, Managing Director, Pidilite,
assuming office as President for 2026–27. Outlining a bold roadmap centred on
artificial intelligence, MSME transformation, and Mumbai&#039;s global
competitiveness, Vats called for the Chamber to evolve into a &quot;capability
engine&quot; that accelerates business growth while strengthening its role in
shaping public policy.

Addressing
members, Vats said, &quot;As we celebrate the 190th year of the Bombay Chamber,
one thing stands out clearly: our relevance has never come from standing
still—but from evolving with purpose.&quot;

Building
on the Chamber&#039;s existing theme of Innovation, Inclusion and Impact, Vats
outlined three strategic priorities for the year ahead: placing Mumbai and
Maharashtra at the centre of the Chamber&#039;s agenda, empowering MSMEs through
artificial intelligence, and transforming the Chamber itself through AI-enabled
member services and policy engagement.



Highlighting
Mumbai&#039;s importance to India&#039;s growth story, he said, &quot;Our ambition is
clear: to make Mumbai one of the world&#039;s most competitive and future-ready
economic centres of the 21st century.&quot;

On
MSMEs, Vats emphasised that while Maharashtra&#039;s one crore MSMEs are the
backbone of the state&#039;s economy, they must now become technology-enabled
enterprises. &quot;Our vision is to help MSMEs compete not as small players,
but as intelligent, tech-enabled enterprises,&quot; he said, announcing
initiatives to simplify compliance, improve access to finance, and democratise
enterprise-grade capabilities using artificial intelligence.

He
also announced that the Chamber itself would embrace AI by deploying
intelligent digital agents to provide continuous member engagement, deliver
data-driven policy insights and create an always-on advisory ecosystem.
&quot;As we call upon industry to transform, we must transform ourselves,&quot;
he remarked.

Paying
tribute to outgoing President Rajiv Anand, Managing Director and CEO, IndusInd
Bank, Vats acknowledged his leadership during a challenging global environment,
stating, &quot;Your clarity of purpose coupled with your humility and passion
helped the Bombay Chamber continue to build on its momentum as we navigated the
year successfully.&quot;

In
his farewell presidential address, Rajiv Anand reflected on a year defined by
Innovation, Inclusion and Impact, built around five strategic
pillars—sustainable economic growth, technology and innovation, human capital,
public-private partnerships, and modernising the Chamber.

Over
the past year, the Chamber organised more than 100 conferences, conclaves,
seminars, workshops and training programmes, while strengthening its voice in
policy advocacy, fostering industry-government collaboration, and expanding
international partnerships.

Reflecting
on his tenure, Anand said, &quot;The Bombay Chamber is far more than India&#039;s
oldest chamber of commerce. It is a respected institution that has, for nearly
two centuries, championed enterprise, shaped economic thought, and contributed
meaningfully to the nation&#039;s development.&quot;

Expressing
confidence in the Chamber&#039;s future, he added, &quot;Leadership is temporary,
but the impact of collective purpose endures,&quot; as he formally passed the
baton to Vats.

The
AGM&#039;s Chief Guest, Shri Sivasubramanian Ramann, Chairperson, Pension Fund
Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), delivered the keynote address on
the role of pension funds in building a developed India by 2047. He emphasised
that economic progress must be measured not only by growth but by long-term
resilience and social security.

&quot;A
nation does not become developed merely by growing large. It becomes developed
when growth is matched by resilience,&quot; Shri Ramann said.

Describing
pension systems as both an instrument of human dignity and a source of
long-term nation-building capital, he noted that pension funds can play a
transformative role in financing infrastructure, technology, innovation and
social development while providing financial security for India&#039;s ageing
population.

The
evening concluded with a Vote of Thanks by Sandeep Khosla, Director General of
the Bombay Chamber, who thanked the Chief Guest, Chamber leadership, past
presidents, board members, committee leaders, members and stakeholders for
their continued support. He also acknowledged the Chamber Secretariat for
successfully organising the landmark Annual General Meeting and reaffirmed the
Chamber&#039;s commitment to building on its rich legacy while embracing innovation
and future-ready growth. ]]></description>

Foundation said, &quot;‘Infinite Saree’ was created to amplify the
voices of women seeking legal protection and justice. This recognition reflects
the strength of collective action and the ability of creative storytelling to
bring critical social issues into mainstream discourse. We are honoured to see
this message resonate on a global stage.&quot;

Rich
Levy, Chief Creative Officer, Klick Health,
added, &quot;Every campaign we&#039;re celebrating exists because someone,
somewhere needed to be seen. The fact that this work is being recognised,
especially with the inaugural Grand for Women&#039;s Health created specifically to
recognise work fighting for women&#039;s safety on a global stage, tells me the
industry understands that the most powerful creative comes from the most urgent
truths.&quot;

Dinesh
Chindarkar, Co-Founder &amp; Director of MediaMedic Communications, said,
&quot;We are proud to be partners for the ‘Infinite Saree’ campaign that
brought together purpose, culture and advocacy to create meaningful impact. The
recognition at the Clio Health Awards and Cannes Lions International Festival
of Creativity 2026 reinforces the power of strategic communications, PR  and creative collaboration in bringing global
visibility to important social issues.&quot;

The
global recognition of ‘Infinite Saree’ underscores the growing role of
purpose-driven creativity in advancing social change. As conversations around
women’s safety, equality, and legal rights continue to evolve, the campaign
stands as a testament to the power of collective voices and creative advocacy
in driving awareness and action. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

India, June 30, 2026: In
modern India, the number of cases of obesity and lifestyle-related disorders is
growing day by day. Most of the healthcare professionals focus on and try to
warn the patient about metabolic surgery in the treatment of conditions such as
type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity-related thyroid
complications. 

One of the most advanced and highly effective
methods to deal with this condition is metabolic weight loss surgery. This
surgical method involves a process in which the digestive system of the patient
undergoes several treatment processes, which help to lose weight in a healthier
and faster process. Some of the Best Metabolic and Bariatric weight loss surgeons in Jalandhar say
that these methods also help the body to regulate hormonal and metabolic
functioning. 

Metabolic
Surgery: More Than Weight Loss

Metabolic weight loss surgery includes a wide
range of processes and methods that are designed to help the patient achieve
sustainable weight loss and a healthy lifestyle by altering the digestive
system. Medical research shows these procedures trigger helpful hormonal and
metabolic changes, which positively affect obesity-related diseases. Experts
say obesity frequently lies at the root of many chronic illnesses, so managing
weight is crucial for controlling these issues long-term.

How It
Helps Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

The type 2 diabetes condition is linked to
obesity and the insulin disorder in the body. Metabolic surgery helps people
regulate blood sugar by boosting insulin sensitivity and altering gut hormones.


“Many patients experience significant
improvement in their blood sugar levels after metabolic surgery, and in
selected cases, diabetes remission may also be possible when combined with
proper lifestyle modifications and medical supervision,” said Dr Amit Sood,
a bariatric and metabolic surgery expert.

Healthcare professionals believe that
surgeries should not be considered as an alternate option for healthy habits,
but a part of the treatment process.

Benefits
for High Blood Pressure and Thyroid-Related Issues

Too much body weight puts a lot of strain on
the heart and cardiovascular system, which often leads to hypertension. Many
studies show that the weight loss after metabolic bariatric surgery helps
regulate blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart-related complications. 

Obesity also causes thyroid-related
conditions, and through metabolic weight loss and bariatric surgery, this can
also be controlled indirectly. This surgical method does not cure thyroid
disorders, but the improved metabolic function and weight management can help
alleviate symptoms associated with obesity and support overall endocrine
health.

Importance
of Choosing the Right Treatment Path

Doctors advise a full check-up before
metabolic surgery. They look at BMI, current health issues, past treatments, and
general health. Qualified experts need to examine all these factors first. As
obesity awareness grows, more patients are looking for top-notch treatment and
consulting the experienced professional and some of the best bariatric surgeons
in Jalandhar.

With increasing scientific evidence supporting
its effectiveness, metabolic surgery is emerging as a valuable option for
patients struggling with obesity and related metabolic disorders, offering the
potential for improved health outcomes and a better quality of life.

<description><![CDATA[ Artificial intelligence has become one of
the most sought-after skills in the modern workforce. Organisations across
industries are investing heavily in AI, machine learning, automation, and
data-driven transformation initiatives. Yet, as AI adoption matures, a new
challenge is emerging. While many professionals can build models and generate
insights, far fewer know how to translate those outputs into structured
decisions that drive measurable business outcomes.

This gap is becoming increasingly
important as organisations move from AI experimentation to AI implementation.
Predictive models can forecast demand, identify risks, and recommend actions. Generative AI can summarise information, automate
workflows, and accelerate analysis. But business value is ultimately created
when organisations make better decisions. The ability to evaluate alternatives,
optimise outcomes, manage uncertainty, and act on AI-generated insights is
rapidly becoming a critical professional capability.

Recognising this shift, the Indian
Institute of Technology Delhi (CEP) has launched the Applied AI, ML and Decision
Science Programme, an
8-month live online programme designed to help professionals build capabilities
that extend beyond AI modelling. The programme combines Applied AI and Machine
Learning with Decision Science and Optimisation, creating an integrated
learning experience that prepares participants to move from building models to
driving real-world business impact.

At the heart of the programme is a simple
but increasingly relevant idea: AI generates insights. Decision Science
enables action. While many AI programmes focus on algorithms, coding, and
model development, CEP IIT Delhi&#039;s programme introduces Decision Science as a
dedicated pillar. This enables learners not only to build AI-powered solutions,
but also to apply structured decision-making frameworks, forecasting
techniques, optimisation models, and analytical methods that help organisations
make better choices.

The programme is among the few offerings
in India that explicitly combine Applied AI, Machine Learning, and Decision
Science within a single learning journey. Participants develop expertise
across data preparation, machine learning, cognitive AI, Generative AI, and
agentic systems, while also learning statistical decision-making, predictive
modelling, simulation techniques, optimisation frameworks, and business
decision methodologies. The result is an end-to-end capability stack that spans
building systems, interpreting outputs, and creating impact.

The curriculum has been designed with
practical application at its core. Through case studies, quizzes, hands-on
exercises, industry-relevant projects, and a comprehensive capstone,
participants learn how AI and decision-making techniques can be applied to real
business challenges. Exposure to tools such as Python, Tableau, Solver, and
LINGO ensures that learning remains grounded in real-world implementation rather
than theory alone.

Delivered through live online sessions
led by IIT Delhi faculty, the programme combines academic rigour with practical
relevance. Participants benefit from direct interaction with faculty while
developing skills that can be applied immediately within their organisations.
An optional campus immersion at IIT Delhi* in the final month
(*Travel and accommodation cost for the campus immersion will be borne by the
participants) provides an opportunity to experience the institute environment
and engage with peers, with no additional programme fee. 

The programme is designed for early- and
mid-career professionals across data, analytics, technology, engineering,
product, consulting, operations, and business functions. As organisations
increasingly seek professionals who can connect AI capabilities with business outcomes,
demand is rising for individuals who can not only build intelligent systems but
also understand how to use them to guide decisions.

This growing relevance is already
reflected in the diversity of professionals exploring the programme. Past
participants and applicants include software engineers, analytics
professionals, consultants, product managers, business analysts, and technology
leaders looking to strengthen their ability to apply AI in decision-making
contexts. Many are seeking to move beyond technical execution and develop the
strategic capabilities needed to influence business outcomes.

For professionals, the value of this
integrated approach lies in its practical relevance. Graduates of the programme
are equipped to build AI and machine learning solutions, evaluate and interpret
outputs, apply optimisation and forecasting frameworks, and translate insights
into action. These capabilities are becoming increasingly important as
organisations look for talent that can bridge the gap between technology and
business performance.

As AI continues to reshape industries,
technical expertise alone is unlikely to be enough. The next generation of
professionals will be distinguished not just by their ability to build models,
but by their ability to make better decisions because of them. With the launch
of the Applied AI, ML and Decision Science Programme, IIT Delhi is
responding to this need by preparing professionals for a future where
intelligence and decision-making must work hand in hand.

Programme Details

Programme: Applied AI, ML and Decision Science
Programme
Institution: Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (CEP)
Duration: 8 Months
Format: Live Online
Fee: INR 1,60,000 + GST

<description><![CDATA[  ~
Hon’ble Governor Thiru. Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar Inaugurated the 60 bed
Facility at Valasaravakkam

Chennai, June 30, 2026 :
Athulya Senior Care, India’s largest assisted living provider, today
inaugurated Athulya Geriatric Care Hospital, its first exclusive hospital
dedicated to geriatric care, at Valasaravakkam, Chennai. The facility marks a
significant milestone in the senior care landscape, completing Athulya’s 360°
elder care continuum spanning specialised Geriatric Hospital Care, Assisted
Living, and Home Care under one integrated ecosystem.The facility was inaugurated
by Thiru. Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, Hon’ble Governor of Tamil Nadu,
in the presence of Dr. Karthik Narayan, Founder and Managing Director,
Athulya Senior Care, Mr. Srinivasan. G, Founder and CEO, Athulya Senior Care,
and Miss. Krishna Kavya, Founder and Director, Athulya Senior Care,
healthcare professionals, senior care experts, industry leaders, and
distinguished guests.

The launch comes at a critical inflection
point as India’s elderly population projected to reach 193.4 million by 2031
(NSO). Yet country’s geriatric healthcare infrastructure lags far behind
against a projected need for 4,00,000 senior care beds, where only around
20,000 are currently available. The organised assisted living sector covers
fewer than 4,500 units nationally. Tamil Nadu alone has around 10 million
people above the age of 55, a figure that makes the gap in specialised
geriatric healthcare infrastructure impossible to ignore.

Athulya Geriatric Care Hospital offers
comprehensive medical services supported by over 20 doctors across 10+
disciplines, with specialised Centres of Excellence spanning Geriatric
Intensive Care, Orthopedics &amp; Rehabilitation, General &amp; Laparoscopic
Surgery, Neurology, Urology, and Psychiatry. The hospital brings together
multidisciplinary expertise across medical specialities including cardiology,
oncology, nephrology, and rehabilitation medicine, enabling coordinated care
for the complex and evolving healthcare needs of older adults. 

The integrated model focuses on managing
complex multi-morbidity cases, chronic disease management, recovery,
rehabilitation, and long-term care requirements, enabling continuity of care
rather than episodic treatment.

Commenting on the new facility launch, Mr.
Srinivasan G., Founder &amp; CEO, Athulya Senior Care, said, “Over the
years, Athulya has built a strong eldercare ecosystem through Assisted Living,
Home Care, and transitional care services. The launch of our dedicated
Geriatric Care Hospital is a natural and necessary expansion of that vision,
completing the continuum of care for seniors. Elderly individuals often require
healthcare systems that go beyond episodic treatment and instead offer
continuity, rehabilitation, safety, and specialised geriatric expertise. This
hospital has been designed to address those needs comprehensively while
preserving the dignity and quality of life of every senior we serve.”

Adding
perspective on the clinical significance of the facility, Dr. Karthik
Narayan, Founder and Manging Director, Athulya Senior Care said, “The
healthcare needs of seniors are often complex and require a care model that
goes beyond traditional treatment approaches. Effective geriatric care involves
addressing multiple dimensions of ageing, including medical conditions,
mobility, recovery, cognitive health, and long-term care requirements. With
Athulya Geriatric Care Hospital, our focus has been to create a specialised
clinical framework supported by dedicated infrastructure, geriatric expertise,
and multidisciplinary care teams. The facility is designed to establish a
structured approach to geriatric healthcare, supporting personalised treatment
pathways, better clinical decision-making, and improved quality of care for
seniors.”

As Tamil Nadu and the nation prepare for an
unprecedented ageing reality, Athulya’s Geriatric Care Hospital stands as both
a clinical milestone and a call to action for the broader healthcare sector to
put the needs of seniors at the centre of care design.

About Athulya Geriatric Care Hospital

It is a multi-specialty healthcare institution
in Chennai, purpose-built exclusively for older adults. The hospital combines
advanced medical expertise with age-friendly infrastructure and compassionate
care. Organized through six Centres of Excellence - Geriatric Intensive Care,

From
utility scale solar farms to rooftop systems lighting up homes along with
catering to Solar component manufacturing plants, Lauritz Knudsen’s
seven-decade legacy in energy infrastructure is helping extend the benefits of
clean energy to communities across markets

Mumbai,
June 30th , 2026: Lauritz Knudsen Electrical and Automation,
a leading player in India’s electrical and automation sector, today
announced that its electrical and digital technologies have powered over 50 GW
of solar capacity across India and global markets.

This
milestone underscores Lauritz Knudsen’s clear focus on enabling solar energy
to move beyond capacity creation to meaningful, widespread access, reaching
factories, farms, homes, and underserved communities, while supporting the
scale required for national energy transition goals.

India’s
solar journey is no longer limited to large utility parks. It is increasingly
visible at the last mile, powering irrigation through PM-KUSUM, enabling
households under PM Surya Ghar, and extending reliable electricity access to
communities beyond traditional grid reach.

The
pace of this transformation has been rapid. India has steadily added solar
capacity, with solar now accounting for nearly 55% of installed renewable
energy capacity, surpassing 154 GW. This expansion spans two parallel tracks:
large-scale utility projects that adds capacity to the grid reducing dependency
on fossil fuels, and distributed deployments that deliver direct economic and
social impact.

Lauritz
Knudsen operates across three segments, which are Utility scale power plants,
Commercial and Industries (C&amp;I), and residentials, delivering advanced AC
solutions, DC switchgear, Smart metering and cloud based remote monitoring
solutions that ensure solar installations are safe, reliable, and built for
long-term performance. This capability is rooted in over seven decades of
experience in India’s electrical infrastructure ecosystem. The company has
supported more than 2,350 solar projects, partnered with over 350 EPCs and 300+
developers, and trained over 300 system integrators,  building local capacity critical to
sustaining the sector’s growth.

Naresh
Kumar, Chief Operating Officer, Lauritz Knudsen Electrical and Automation,
said: “When a farmer moves away from diesel-based irrigation
or a household gains dependable access to electricity, that is when the energy
transition becomes real. The significance of the 50 GW milestone lies not just
in scale, but in how widely its benefits are felt. Our focus has been to ensure
that solar infrastructure is dependable, accessible, and built to serve every
segment of society.”

As
India’s solar ecosystem has expanded, so has its technical complexity. Higher
capacities, evolving grid dynamics, and the growth of distributed generation
models are driving the need for more advanced, application-specific electrical
solutions.

Lauritz
Knudsen supports the entire solar value chain, from power
generation  to evacuation and integration
into the grid. The company’s portfolio reflects this shift, with strong growth
across renewable-linked products, including medium-voltage solutions, AC and
DC Switchgear solutions, software and services.

The
renewable surge is also accelerating the scale of domestic manufacturing.
India’s solar manufacturing capacity expanded significantly from FY2025 to
FY2026, strengthening the country’s self-reliance. Lauritz Knudsen has
supported this evolution by equipping manufacturing facilities with robust,
future-ready electrical systems tailored to emerging requirements

As
India progresses towards its target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by
2030, the focus is shifting from quantity to quality of transition, ensuring
that energy access is not only expanded but also equitably distributed.

Lauritz
Knudsen’s role in this journey remains anchored in its core purpose: to build
the electrical backbone that makes solar energy dependable, scalable, and
accessible across every layer of India’s growth story.

<title>Subrata Mitra and Pankaj Mishra Launch Down But Not Out, Chronicling the Near&#45;Death Moments Behind India&amp;apos;s Entrepreneurial Rise</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/subrata-mitra-and-pankaj-mishra-launch-down-but-not-out-chronicling-the-near-death-moments-behind-indias-entrepreneurial-rise</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, June 29, 2026: Over the last two
decades, entrepreneurship has emerged as one of the most powerful forces
shaping modern economies. In India, founders have built category defining
companies that have transformed how millions live, work, transact, travel, and
consume. Yet, behind every celebrated success story lies a less visible journey
marked by uncertainty, failure, resilience, and the determination to begin
again.

Capturing these rarely documented stories, Subrata
Mitra, Founding Partner at Accel, and Pankaj Mishra, entrepreneur, journalist
and Founder of FactorDaily, have co-authored Down
But Not Out: Gritty Comebacks of India&#039;s Diehard Founders, a
compelling exploration of the human side of entrepreneurship.

Drawing from extensive conversations with founders across sectors,
the book chronicles the journeys of entrepreneurs behind companies
including BlueStone, Tejas Networks, Ninjacart, GreyOrange, Capillary
Technologies, HyperVerge, Zolve, Uniqode, and ZopNow. 

At a time when conversations around entrepreneurship are often
dominated by valuations, funding rounds, and exits, Down But Not Out shifts the
focus to the less visible realities of building companies. 

Here are just some of the key moments detailed in the book:


 How
     BlueStone went from cutting its team from around 150 staff to just six in
     2017 to scaling into one of India&#039;s leading jewellery platforms, later
     backed by Ratan Tata.
 How
     TaxiForSure went from an idea scribbled on a tissue at a Bangalore pub
     (~2011) to a ~$200 million sale to Ola in 2015.
 How
     MobStac went back to square one in 2015 after six years, then pivoted to
     Beaconstac - which became one of FedEx India&#039;s larger SME customers.
 How
     Tejas Networks survived Lehman&#039;s crash, Nortel&#039;s bankruptcy, a 2G freeze,
     a flood, and a fire that gutted its R&amp;D labs - revenue collapsing from
     ₹676 crore to ₹208 crore — before listing in 2017 as India&#039;s first pure
     deep-tech IPO and powering BSNL&#039;s 100,000-base-station 4G rollout.
 How
     HyperVerge turned down a $10–12 million acquisition offer with just six
     months of cash left, then went on to verify over a billion users for 75+
     banks and lenders.


The book also reflects on Subrata Mitra&#039;s own
entrepreneurial and investing journey, including lessons from failure,
conviction and what he describes as the pursuit of &quot;truth and long-term
greed&quot; - the belief that enduring value is built through patience, trust
and long-term thinking rather than short-term gains. 

Commenting on the book, Subrata Mitra, said: &quot;Over
the last two decades, I&#039;ve had the privilege of working closely with founders
through some of the highest highs and lowest lows of their journeys. What
struck me was that the defining moments were rarely the successes that made
headlines, but the setbacks, doubts, and failures they quietly endured. Down
But Not Out is an attempt to bring those untold stories to light. It is a
tribute to the resilience of founders who chose to keep going when walking away
would have been easier. In entrepreneurship, as in life, success is rarely a
straight line. What matters is the courage to take one more turn, stand up one
more time, and remain, in every sense of the phrase - Not Out.&quot;

Pankaj Mishra, co-author of the book, “I’ve
always thought of entrepreneurship as a trapeze act — you let go before you
know if anyone will catch you. I’ve lived a version of that myself with
FactorDaily, which is partly why these stories pulled at me. Working on this
book with Subrata was a gift. He’s spent over two decades with founders in
their hardest hours, and learning to read those moments alongside him taught me
more than I expected.”

Combining candid founder accounts with personal reflections
and visual storytelling, Down But Not Out explores the decisions, setbacks and
turning points that shaped both individual entrepreneurs and India&#039;s startup
ecosystem. The book offers insights not only for founders and investors but for
anyone seeking to build, persevere and adapt in the face of uncertainty. 

Published by Harper Business, Down But Not Out: Gritty
Comebacks of India&#039;s Diehard Founders is now available across leading online
and offline bookstores.

<title>THE QUIET ART OF HEALING: COMING HOME BY KARISHMA</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-quiet-art-of-healing-coming-home-by-karishma</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-quiet-art-of-healing-coming-home-by-karishma</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

We have all been told that healing is a project to be
finished, that we are broken machines waiting for a final repair. We treat it
like a destination, a finish line where we are finally ‘fixed’ and perfect. But
I have found that the truth is much simpler and kinder. Healing is not a
transformation into something new but it is homecoming. It is the
steady, quiet act of reclaiming the parts of ourselves we left behind in the
dark, and shedding the heavy, borrowed armor that never actually belonged to
us.

The Language of the Heart

We often get tripped in our healing journey because we lack
the vocabulary to name our own pain. We label everything as stress or sadness
and wonder why the feeling never fades.

I lived in a loop for a long time, constantly running on
fumes, telling everyone and myself that I was ‘busy’. I thought I just needed
to be more productive or manage my time better. But one day, I realized I
wasn&#039;t just ‘busy’. I was over functioning because I felt responsible
for everyone else’s comfort and emotional stability. The moment I stopped
calling it ‘busyness’ and named it over-responsibility, everything changed. I
stopped trying to do more, and I started learning how to let other people carry
their own weight. That wasn&#039;t a time management issue, it was a boundary issue,
and finally naming it gave me the power to shift it.  

So, when you feel a sharp emotion just, pause. If you feel
‘sad’, look closer. Are you betrayed? Are you disillusioned? When you can
accurately label an emotion, you stop being a prisoner to a feeling that you do
not understand. This feels like you busted an overwhelming cloud into a clear,
manageable path. 

Solve what you can 

Once you have named the feeling, you must deal with the
cause. The best solutions are rarely the most complicated ones. Life requires a
bit of cleverness, an innovative, simple and sometimes unconventional way to
protect your peace. When your energy is being spent on the wrong things, you
don&#039;t need a massive overhaul. You need a small, clever adjustment that may be
a kind of deliberate change that turns a drain into a boundary. A firm
boundary, a change in routine, or a simple ‘no’ can often be the most effective
medicine. When you identify the cause, you move from being a victim of your
emotions to being the person who can manage them.

Respect your own pace 

The most common mistake people make is comparing their
healing journey to someone else’s. We see someone moving on quickly and we
judge ourselves for lagging behind. But just as everyone has a different
physical metabolism, everyone has a different mental metabolism. Some process a
loss in a week, others may take a season. Your timing is not wrong to process
your emotions, it is simply yours. Trust that you are moving at the exact speed
required for your growth.

A Note on True Clarity

Before we try any rituals, we have to be honest,
sitting in silence is not a substitute for solving your problems. If you close
your eyes and meditate without acknowledging what is actually wrong, you are
merely taking a mental painkiller. It might dull the ache for a moment, but it
leaves the root cause untouched. Healing requires the courage to feel the
weight of your experience, and the wisdom to solve the problem causing it.
Silence should be a space to see the truth, not a place to hide from it.

Unpacking: A Simple Ritual 

At the end of each day, instead of carrying your emotional
baggage into your sleep, take two minutes to ‘unpack’.

●     
Empty the Bag: Ask yourself, what heavy things are you carrying from
today? Maybe it was a sharp comment, a worry about the future, or an old
frustration that flared up. 

●     
Label it: Don&#039;t
just call it ‘stress’, identify the specific item (emotion). Is it regret?
Worry? Exhaustion? Just naming them makes them feel smaller. 

●     
Set it down: Imagine yourself physically taking those items out of your
bag and setting them on the floor beside your bed. Tell yourself, ‘These things
happened today, but they do not belong in my tomorrow’. 

Taking
Back the Controls

Healing is not about becoming a new person, it is about
finally meeting the person who has been waiting patiently beneath your armor
all along. You are the sole pilot of your life. When you take the steering
wheel back from the past traumas and outside expectations, you are not just
recovering but you are coming back.

You were always there. You were just waiting to come home!

I know it doesn&#039;t always feel like a win. Some days, it
feels like stumbling in the dark, wondering if you are actually making
progress.

I have spent many nights asking myself if I was moving
forward or just stuck in the same place. But I have learned that this doubt
isn&#039;t a sign that you are failing, it is just the sound of your old, heavy
habits trying to hold on.

Remember, you were never broken, you were only hidden. You
are the architect of your own peace, and you get to decide what your
‘homecoming’ looks like. Every small change you make, every boundary you set,
every ‘no’ you say, and every moment of kindness you give yourself is a brick
in the foundation of the life you are building. It&#039;s a life where you no longer
just survive the storm, but slowly and steadily, learn to choose your own path.
(Also read ‘Beyond the easy child: Is your child confident or
just surviving?’

<title>Pocket HRMS releases India&amp;apos;s First smHRt Agentic HR Solution</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/pocket-hrms-releases-indias-first-smhrt-agentic-hr-solution</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/pocket-hrms-releases-indias-first-smhrt-agentic-hr-solution</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, India - June 29th, 2026 : Pocket HRMS,
India&#039;s popular AI-powered cloud-HR software, announced the launch of India&#039;s
first ‘smHRt Agentic HR solution’, built to think, act, and collaborate across
the entire employee lifecycle.

With this release, Pocket HRMS’ HR chatbot smHRty® and HR assistant HRMS Copilot™ will be
powered by Agentic AI, which brings together a coordinated team of specialized
AI agents, where each agent will be responsible for a specific HR job. They
work together to finish tasks, find useful information, and solve problems,
helping HR avoid repetitive work and focus on other strategic initiatives.

Unlike a single assistant that only answers questions, the
smHRt Agentic HR solution coordinates multiple agents that each own a job, like
payroll, leave, attendance, and employee records. The Employee Management Agent
will take the lead and talk to the user in plain English, working out what
needs to happen, and hand the task to the right specialist agent. The user sees
one conversation while a team of agents does the work behind it.

For HR teams, this changes how daily work is done. Instead
of clicking through different screens, HR personnel can just give instructions
in plain English. With the smHRt agentic HR solution, HR teams can:

●     
Get instant answers and flagged data
discrepancies, so issues are caught before they reach payroll.

●     
See leave and attendance trends with
a simple message, and plan staffing and approvals.

●     
Receive automatic reminders for
statutory deadlines like PF returns, quarterly TDS, PT filings, and more.

●     
Turn raw payroll and attendance data
into charts and summaries on request, without building MIS reports manually.

Internal
tests show that our HR teams spend nearly 70% of their time doing repetitive computer
work. By having one main agent understand what users need and manage the other
agents, the smHRt Agentic HR solution turns long processes into one simple
command. This frees up HR leaders to focus on company culture and big-picture
goals instead of manual data entry.

Jitendra Somani, Co-Founder of Pocket HRMS, shared, “With
our smHRt Agentic HR Solution, we are bringing a digital workforce of AI agents
to Pocket HRMS. In our beta tests, HR teams reported 54% increase in their
productivity with the help of Agentic AI. So, we are implementing the shift to
Agentic AI for both chatbot smHRty® and HRMS Copilot™, enhancing their
versatility. This is our vision for agentic HR: a system that hides the complex
work and completes HR tasks with just a simple command.”

Key Features of smHRt Agentic HR Solution

●     
Team of AI Agents: Different agents handle payroll, leave, attendance, and employee management.
They focus on their own jobs but stay coordinated through the main agent.

●     
One Simple Chatbox: The main Employee Management AI Agent talks directly with
users and hands tasks to the right specialized agent. Users don&#039;t have to
switch between different software screens.

●     
Natural Language Processing: HR teams can ask the system to do complicated everyday HR
tasks using normal language, and the agents will complete the work behind the
scenes.

●     
Smart Data Insights: The AI agents can help HRs reveal hidden trends in payroll
and attendance data to help managers make better decisions.

●     
Automatic Problem Solving: The AI agents can also help spot mistakes in HR data, like
payroll errors or mismatched attendance, helping HR in fixing them before they
become major issues.

The smHRt
Agentic HR solution is the next big step for Pocket HRMS. It creates a smart
system where multiple specialized agents work together behind one easy-to-use
screen. This launch supports the goal of making Agentic AI easy to use for HR
teams all over India.

AI-first HRMS software, catering to hire-to-retire needs for startups to

<description><![CDATA[  Founder
&amp; CEO Nikhil Gaur says the path to becoming one of India&#039;s Top 20 B-Schools
by 2030 looks stronger and on track.

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], 29th June: Hive School of Business - India&#039;s first dedicated Revenue
B-School, as seen on Shark Tank India has released its Annual Placement Report 2025–26, registering an average CTC of ₹16.47 LPA and a
highest package of ₹27.8 LPA. The average places the institution ahead
of nearly half of India&#039;s IIMs - a notable marker for a B-school.

The defining story of this year&#039;s cohort is the calibre of
recruiters. This season drew established, globally recognised names including Adobe,
Yatra and Payoneer alongside fast-scaling startups, hiring for
high-ownership roles across Founder&#039;s Office, GTM, Growth, Strategy and Program
Management. Their entry signals a shift: Hive School&#039;s job-ready talent is no
longer the preserve of early-stage startups alone, but is now being absorbed by
mature, brand-name employers.

In all, Hive School ran placement processes with over 50
recruiters this season spanning high-growth consumer, tech and D2C brands
such as Swiggy, Google and LinkedIn, alongside fast-scaling startups and
established enterprises. The breadth of the funnel reflects widening employer
interest in revenue-first, job-ready talent across functions. (View the full list of recruiters)


Hive School&#039;s flagship 9-month Postgraduate Program in
Revenue, AI, and Entrepreneurship is delivered fully offline, with students
working through weekly business challenges, live simulations, sprints, and
founder-led workshops. The curriculum is designed in collaboration with startup
leaders and operators, covering go-to-market, growth and strategy, founder-led
revenue, and modern operating functions, with students mentored by active
operators from leading tech companies.

This year also marks Hive School&#039;s expansion beyond its
flagship postgraduate program. The institution has launched an AI Marketing Fellowship
built to create a new generation of marketers fluent in AI-driven growth
alongside new Undergraduate Programs that bring its industry-first,
outcome-focused model to students earlier in their journey. The expansion
signals Hive School&#039;s intent to build a broader, multi-program B-School as it
scales toward its 2030 goal. 

&quot;Our model is built to deliver outcomes that rival and
now beat established programs, and to put job-ready talent into high-ownership
roles from day one,&quot; said Nikhil Gaur, Founder, Hive School. “An
average of ₹16.47 LPA, ahead of nearly half of India&#039;s IIMs, tells us the
thesis is working. Our goal remains to be among India&#039;s Top 20 B-Schools by
2030.”

Average - ₹16.47 LPA, Median - ₹15 LPA, Highest - ₹27.8 LPA,
Top 25% Average - ₹21.93 LPA, Top 50% Average - ₹18.63 LPA, and Top 75% Average
- ₹17.65 LPA

With students learning on ground, first taken for industry
immersions to places like Big Boy Toyz, PeeSafe, Culture Circle and other D2C
brands. 

With admissions open for its
next cohort, Hive School of Business is doubling down on its mission to
redefine education in India giving freshers and early-career professionals a
credible, high-return alternative to the traditional MBA path.

About Hive School : Hive School
is India&#039;s first dedicated Revenue B-School. Its flagship 9-month Postgraduate
Program in Revenue, Technology, and Entrepreneurship is delivered fully offline

<title>Puravankara Announces JDA for 6.4&#45;acre Land Parcel in Sarjapur, Bengaluru with Potential GDV of Rs 1,000 Crores</title>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/puravankara-announces-jda-for-64-acre-land-parcel-in-sarjapur-bengaluru-with-potential-gdv-of-rs-1000-crores</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru : Puravankara Limited (NSE: PURVA |
BSE: 532891), one of India&#039;s most trusted and admired real estate developers,
has entered into a joint development agreement (JDA) for a 6.4-acre land parcel
in Sarjapur, Bengaluru, with an estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) of Rs
1,000 crore. The project has a saleable area of approximately 0.8 msft and will
be developed as a residential community catering to the growing demand in this
emerging corridor. This latest addition further strengthens Puravankara&#039;s development
pipeline in the city, bringing the company&#039;s total potential GDV from
acquisitions and JDAs in Q1FY27 to Rs 5,200 crore.

Commenting on the development, Ashish Puravankara,
Managing Director, Puravankara Limited, said, &quot;Bengaluru continues
to be one of our most important growth markets, and this joint development
reinforces our commitment to deepening our presence across high-potential urban
corridors. As we pursue our FY27 growth agenda, our focus remains on securing
quality land parcels in markets backed by infrastructure, employment density,
and sustained homebuyer demand, while creating long-term value for our
stakeholders.”

Strategically located in Kaggalipura Village, Sarjapura
Hobli, the site is well-positioned for growth, with excellent connectivity via
Sarjapur Road and the Outer Ring Road. It also enjoys good connectivity to the
Electronic City technology corridor and other key employment hubs. The corridor
has emerged as a preferred destination for IT professionals and homebuyers
seeking quality housing, supported by the limited availability of organised
residential projects from reputed developers.

Mallanna Sasalu, CEO, Puravankara Limited, added, &quot;The mix of outright acquisitions and joint
development agreements across key Bengaluru micro-markets reflects our
calibrated growth strategy, combining scale creation with capital efficiency.
The pace, scale, and quality of these additions indicate that the company is
moving in the right direction and steadily strengthening its development
pipeline in Bengaluru. Notably, in Q1FY27 alone, Puravankara announced four
land transactions in quick succession, underlining the company’s strong
business development momentum and the ability to consistently add
high-potential projects to its portfolio. Together, these deals span
approximately 41.93 acres, with a cumulative development potential of around
4.23 msft and a total estimated GDV of Rs 5,200 crore.”

Sarjapur represents a micro-market where strong end-user
demand, improving connectivity, and limited branded supply create a compelling
opportunity for value creation. Through such partnerships, Puravankara is able
to optimise capital deployment, expand across multiple high-growth corridors,
and strengthen the overall quality and depth of its project pipeline.

<description><![CDATA[  

National, June 26th, 2026:
With schools reopening across the country, kitchens are once again buzzing with
an age-old morning ritual: packing lunchboxes before the school bell rings. But
today&#039;s lunchbox looks very different from a decade ago. Alongside traditional
favourites, parents are increasingly reaching for convenient foods that balance
taste, quality, and nutrition.

Tapping into this seasonal shift, Noice, a premium food
brand dedicated to reviving authentic recipes through small-batch
craftsmanship, has launched a specially curated Back-to-School Range
featuring spreads, juices, dips, yogurts, cookies, protein snacks, and pantry
staples designed for busy mornings, recess breaks, and after-school hunger
pangs. The range is available across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, and
Chennai.

Bringing together everyday essentials and kid-friendly
favourites, the collection includes Peanut Butter &amp; Jam, Mango, Orange,
Pomegranate and Litchi Juices, Coconut Water, Avocado Dip, Yogurt (Regular and
Protein variants), Cookies, Dry Fruits, Jaggery Peanut Chikki, and Protein Bars.
Crafted using thoughtfully sourced ingredients and made without added
preservatives, the range is designed to fit seamlessly into modern family
routines.

Whether it&#039;s a quick PB&amp;J sandwich before the school bus
arrives, a juice packed for recess, or a protein snack after football practice,
the collection aims to make snack planning a little easier for parents while
keeping mealtimes enjoyable for children.

Commenting on the launch, Royan Mody, Vice President - Noice,
said, &quot;Back-to-school season is one
of the biggest food moments for families. Every morning, parents are looking
for options that are quick, convenient, and something their children genuinely
enjoy eating. We built this range around those everyday occasions, from
lunchbox sandwiches and recess breaks to after-school snacking. The idea was to
create products that fit naturally into family routines while staying true to
our commitment to thoughtfully sourced ingredients, small-batch craftsmanship,
and great taste.

As Indian households increasingly seek convenient foods that
don&#039;t compromise on ingredient quality, the modern lunchbox is evolving beyond
traditional staples. With products spanning spreads, beverages, dairy, dips,
and protein-rich snacks, Noice&#039;s Back-to-School range reflects a growing demand
for everyday foods that are both practical and thoughtfully made. The range is
available on Instamart across major metros, making it easy for families to
stock up on school-season essentials in minutes.

<title>Vidyavriti Launches Nationwide Centre&#45;Based Mock Exams for SSC CGL &amp;amp; IBPS PO</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/vidyavriti-launches-nationwide-centre-based-mock-exams-for-ssc-cgl-ibps-po</link>

<description><![CDATA[  

Hyderabad, June
27, 2026 : In a landmark
moment for India&#039;s competitive exam preparation ecosystem, Vidyavriti a
next-generation EdTech platform today goes live with India&#039;s first-ever All
India CBT (Computer-Based Test) Mock Examination. Launching simultaneously for
two of the country&#039;s most competitive government recruitment exams i.e. SSC
CGL and IBPS PO. This initiative marks the first time any EdTech
company has brought the actual exam experience to aspirants across Pan India,
not on their laptops at home, but at the real physical examination centres
where these tests are officially administered.

Registrations
for both the SSC CGL and IBPS PO All India CBT Mock Exams are now open at vidyavriti.com/allindiacbt.

What Is Vidyavriti And Why It Is Different

Vidyavriti is an
integrated EdTech platform built on a singular, powerful vision: &quot;To build India&#039;s largest learning-to-earning
ecosystem powered by performance data.&quot;

While
dozens of online test platforms offer mock exams that students take on their
phones and home computers, Vidyavriti recognised a critical, unaddressed gap:
aspirants spend months preparing for competitive exams but walk into the actual
exam centre on the day of the test having never experienced the real CBT
environment - the unfamiliar hardware, the strict non-pausable section-wise
countdown, the pressure of sitting under invigilation among other candidates.
That adjustment cost, on the most important day of their lives, shows up as a
measurable drop in accuracy.

Vidyavriti
eliminates that gap entirely. Its flagship CBT Mock Exam Platform delivers mock
examinations at the very same centres where the actual government exams are
conducted replicating the exact interface, the same hardware, the same
protocols, and the same invigilated, no-pause environment. The result:
aspirants walk into their actual exam day having already been there before.

EXAM
SCHEDULE AT A GLANCE

IBPS
PO All India CBT Mock Exam: Between 6th - 10th August 2026

SSC
CGL All India CBT Mock Exam: Between 13th - 17th August 2026

Registration
Fee: IBPS PO - ₹599  |  SSC CGL - ₹499

Pan India Reach - The Real Exam Centre, Near
You

Vidyavriti
has forged partnerships with accredited physical examination centres across
India the same Tier I, II, and III city venues where actual government competitive
exams are conducted. Aspirants from across the country can select their
preferred exam centre from a curated list while booking their mock exam online.

Once
a booking is confirmed, aspirants will receive their Admit Card containing
their assigned exam date, shift, and centre details via email, one week before
the exam. This mirror of the actual government exam process is intentional:
Vidyavriti wants every step of the experience to feel like the real thing.

Beyond the Score: AI-Powered Performance Intelligence

The
mock exam is just the beginning. What truly separates Vidyavriti is what
happens after the test. Every aspirant receives a comprehensive AI-powered
performance analysis that goes far deeper than a mere scorecard. The platform&#039;s
post-exam intelligence engine breaks down performance across multiple critical
parameters:

·      
Identification of strong areas and weak
areas so aspirants know exactly where to invest more time and where they
already have an edge.

·      
Time-per-question analysis revealing
which question types consume disproportionate time and are silently costing
rank.

·      
Accuracy under pressure assessing how
performance shifts as the exam progresses and time pressure builds.

·      
Eliminate-to-win insights highlighting
what to avoid and stop doing to immediately improve chances of clearing the
cutoff.

·      
Strategy validation data-backed guidance
on which attempt strategy will work and which won&#039;t, personalised to the
individual aspirant&#039;s pattern.

·      
Percentile benchmarking showing where
the aspirant stands against peers across the country, not just within their
coaching institute.

·      
Focus-to-success roadmap a personalised,
prioritised list of what to work on next to maximise the probability of
clearing the actual exam.

This level of granular, actionable intelligence
is what transforms a mock exam from a mere practice session into a
career-defining diagnostic.

Just the Beginning: A Roadmap for India&#039;s
Competitive Exam Universe

While
SSC CGL and IBPS PO are Vidyavriti&#039;s inaugural offerings, the platform has
ambitious plans to rapidly expand the All India CBT Mock Exam series to cover
the full spectrum of India&#039;s competitive examination landscape. Upcoming exams
slated for inclusion include:

 CAT • XAT • GATE • IIT
JEE • NEET • UPSC • Railways (RRB) • CUET • NDA • CDS

These
All India CBT Mock Exams will be conducted annually, creating a structured,
recurring preparation calendar that aspirants can rely on year after year
regardless of which exam they are targeting.

Win Big: Vidyavriti Announces Prize Money for
All India Top Rankers

In a
move that underscores its commitment to recognising merit and excellence,
Vidyavriti has announced cash prizes for
the Top 5 All India rank holders in each exam separately for SSC CGL and
IBPS PO. This is not just a mock exam; it is a national-level competitive event
where performance is rewarded.

PRIZE MONEY - PER EXAM
(SSC CGL &amp; IBPS PO)

All India Rank 1 
-  ₹1,00,000 (1 Lakh)

All India Rank 2 
-  ₹50,000 (50K)

All India Rank 3 
-  ₹25,000 (25K)

All India Rank 4

With
a combined prize pool of ₹4,00,000
across both exams, Vidyavriti is sending a clear message: serious
preparation deserves serious recognition. For lakhs of aspirants who give
everything to crack these exams, this is more than a mock test, it is the first
national stage where they can prove themselves and be rewarded for it.

In Conversation with the Founder

When
we spoke with Mr. DK Jha, Founder and CEO of Vidyavriti and a veteran
academician with multiple decades of experience coaching students for India&#039;s
most demanding competitive examinations, his conviction was unmistakable.

&quot;Vidyavriti is not just a mock test platform.
It is going to fundamentally change the way aspirants approach examinations.
For too long, students have been preparing in isolation, with no real sense of
what the exam environment feels like, no honest measure of where they stand
nationally, and no data to guide their final weeks of preparation. We are
changing all of that.&quot;

 

- Mr. DK Jha, Founder &amp; CEO, Vidyavriti

 

Mr. Jha, who has
spent over two decades designing academic systems and coaching students across
JEE, NEET, and government
recruitment exams expressed a deep personal commitment behind the venture:
&quot;Every aspirant who deserves to succeed should succeed. That is what
Vidyavriti is built for.&quot;

Bullish about
the platform&#039;s trajectory, Mr. Jha is confident that Vidyavriti&#039;s data-powered,
centre-based simulation model will soon be seen as the new standard for serious
competitive exam preparation across India.

<title>Sri Ramakrishna Hospital Certified as first Comprehensive Chest Pain Center in Tamil Nadu</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/sri-ramakrishna-hospital-certified-as-first-comprehensive-chest-pain-center-in-tamil-nadu</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sri-ramakrishna-hospital-certified-as-first-comprehensive-chest-pain-center-in-tamil-nadu</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  The American Heart Association
recognizes Sri Ramakrishna Hospital in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu for its
commitment to evidence-based, quality care for patients with chest pain and
heart attacks.

COIMBATORE, 27 June 2026: Sri Ramakrishna Hospital has been recognized by the American
Heart Association, the world&#039;s leading nonprofit organization dedicated to
improving heart and brain health for all, as first Comprehensive Chest Pain
Center in Tamil Nadu. This prestigious certification signifies the hospital&#039;s
role as a critical component in the nation&#039;s healthcare system, helping bridge
gaps that delay heart attack patients from receiving timely access to
appropriate, life-saving treatment.

 

The certification was officially
announced and unveiled today during a press meet organized by Sri Ramakrishna Hospital. The event was led by Dr. Sundar
Ramakrishnan, Managing Trustee, SNR Sons Charitable Trust, and was attended by
Shri. C. V. Ramkumar, Chief Executive Officer, SNR Sons Charitable Trust; Shri.
D. Maheshkumar, Chief Administrative Officer, SNR Sons Charitable Trust; and
Dr. S. Rajagopal, Medical Director, Dr. S. Alagappan, Medical Superintendent, Sri Ramakrishna
Hospital, along with senior consultants and specialists from the Department of
Cardiology. The experts highlighted the significance of this international
certification and reaffirmed the hospital&#039;s commitment to delivering
world-class cardiac care.

 

Cardiovascular disease remains one
of the leading causes of death in Tamil Nadu, accounting for approximately 36%
of all deaths among people aged 30 to 69 years. Furthermore, the most recent
available data indicates a 12.5% year-on-year increase in heart attack-related
deaths. The growing burden of cardiovascular disease and its associated
disability underscores the importance of continually improving the treatment of
ST-elevation myocardial infarction (Heart Attack) - the most severe type of
heart attack.

 

The American Heart Association&#039;s
Comprehensive Chest Pain Center Certification recognizes hospitals that meet or
exceed rigorous quality standards in the treatment of patients experiencing
Heart Attack. This certification is awarded to healthcare institutions that
demonstrate excellence in promptly diagnosing heart attacks and delivering
advanced treatment.

 

A Comprehensive Chest Pain Center is
equipped with the expertise, infrastructure, and advanced technology required
to provide rapid intervention for Heart Attack patients, including Percutaneous
Coronary Intervention (PCI) - a life-saving mechanical procedure used to
restore blood flow to the heart. Certified centers must also demonstrate an
organizational commitment to evidence-based protocols, continuous quality
improvement, and coordinated care for patients presenting with chest pain.

 

&quot;Worldwide, heart disease
remains the leading cause of death - when someone suffers a heart attack, time
is critical,&quot; said., Incoming Co-Chair persons of the American Heart
Association&#039;s International Committee. &quot;Hospitals and health care
providers need to be prepared to coordinate care quickly and efficiently. We
developed the Comprehensive Chest Pain Center Certification to help hospitals
create an integrated and collaborative approach to cardiovascular care, improve
outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease, and provide certified care
to patients with Heart Attack and Non- Heart Attack.”

 

The American Heart Association&#039;s
goal through this certification initiative is to significantly reduce cardiac
deaths by increasing public awareness of heart attack symptoms, encouraging
timely medical intervention, reducing delays in receiving life-saving
treatment, and improving the accuracy and effectiveness of care.

 

Dr. Sundar Ramakrishnan, Managing
Trustee, SNR Sons Charitable Trust, said, &quot;This certification is a significant milestone
in the continued growth of Sri Ramakrishna Hospital and a proud achievement for
our Department of Cardiology. It reflects our commitment to building a
healthcare ecosystem that combines advanced technology, clinical excellence,
and international quality standards. Our focus remains on ensuring that every
patient receives timely, evidence-based cardiac care of the highest
standard.&quot;

<title>Former Entertainment Journalist Neeru Sharma&amp;apos;s Debut Film ‘Bandra Boy’ Heads to Film Festivals</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/former-entertainment-journalist-neeru-sharmas-debut-film-bandra-boy-heads-to-film-festivals</link>

<description><![CDATA[  

Entertainment
journalist-turned-filmmaker Neeru Sharma has stepped into filmmaking with her
debut film Bandra Boy, which has been submitted to several national and
international film festivals in the competition category.

After
spending more than two decades in journalism and closely covering the Indian
film and television industry, Sharma has now shifted her focus to screenwriting
and direction. She completed the Direction Program at Subhash Ghai&#039;s Whistling
Woods International and is also an alumna of the institute.

Apart
from direction, Sharma has been associated with screenwriting since 2015. A
diploma holder in Screenwriting, she trained under veteran actor Boman Irani
and acclaimed screenwriters Anjum Rajabali and Mayur Puri. The training helped
her develop a deeper understanding of screenplay structure, character
development and cinematic storytelling.

Her
debut directorial venture, *Bandra Boy*, is a thriller that explores the impact
of media narratives, public perception and social prejudices. The story
examines how public opinion is often formed before facts are fully known—a
theme that has gained relevance in the age of social media and instant
judgments.

The
film stars Ahvaan Kumar in the lead role, while noted Gujarati and Marathi
actor Dharmendra Gohil plays a pivotal character. The cast also includes
Whistling Woods alumnus Lochan Barsagde, theatre actor Yash Pednekar, and
television actors Pawan Tiwari and Sham Thomre.

Industry
observers note that transitions from journalism to filmmaking remain relatively
rare. Having spent years reporting on films, celebrities and the entertainment
business, Sharma now finds herself on the other side of the camera, developing
stories of her own.

According
to people associated with the project, Bandra Boy has already begun its
festival journey and is expected to be screened before international audiences
in the coming months. The film&#039;s subject, centred on perception versus reality,
reflects issues that continue to spark debate in contemporary society.

With
Bandra Boy, Sharma joins a growing list of media professionals who have moved
from reporting stories to creating them, bringing with them years of
observation and industry insight.

Maj Maroof Raza (1959-2026) spent decades shaping informed conversations on
security, preparedness, and national interest, firstly as an Indian Army
officer, and then as an insightful commentator, teacher, writer, and strategic
advisor to IIRIS.

Mrs Anis Raza, wife of Maj Raza remembers him as “The quintessential soldier - scholar — who embodied the rare
union of intellect and valour. A patriot whose life was defined by honour,
character, and unwavering devotion to his beloved India. His legacy endures
through his work for the nation, and through the principles of integrity,
character, and duty that he upheld above all else. A true officer and gentleman,
who inspired respect by the values he lived by - that was Maroof Raza.”

Mr Garry Singh, President, IIRIS Consulting, while
commenting on the launch of MRCSS, said,
“Maroof Raza Sahab believed that informed strategic thinking was essential not
only for governments and security institutions, but for society as a whole.
Through this Centre, we hope to create a lasting platform that encourages
research, dialogue, and leadership development on issues that will shape
India&#039;s security future.”

The centre aims to keep the principles he promoted alive
by prompting intellectual rigour, clear strategy, well-informed dialogues, and
the never-ending commitment towards India&#039;s security environment. The centre
intends to gather policymakers, army leaders, academics, business
professionals, students, and researchers together to address issues impacting
India&#039;s strategic future. As part of its activities, the Centre will promote
research, thought leadership, academic engagement, scholarships, institutional
collaborations, and youth-focused initiatives designed to encourage a deeper
understanding of security and geopolitical affairs. The centre will also invest
in the next generation of strategic thinkers through the IIRIS Scholarships
programme, with a flagship commitment to sponsor one PhD scholar annually,
dedicated to research that carries forward the rigour and purpose that defined
Maroof Raza&#039;s life&#039;s work.

A key pillar of the Centre will be the Maroof Raza
Memorial Annual Dialogue. This flagship event will bring together key
figures from various fields to discuss national security, geopolitical
developments, strategic risks, and public policy. The dialogue will serve as a
living tribute to Maroof Raza&#039;s lifelong dedication to encouraging meaningful
discourse.

The establishment of this Centre marks the beginning of
a long-term effort to empower strategic awareness, encourage informed
discussions, and add real value to India&#039;s evolving security environment. ]]></description>

<title>Is It Time to Recognise Corporate Communication as the Fifth Estate?</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/is-it-time-to-recognise-corporate-communication-as-the-fifth-estate</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/is-it-time-to-recognise-corporate-communication-as-the-fifth-estate</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

NEW
DELHI : As businesses face unprecedented scrutiny
from stakeholders, investors, regulators, communities and digital audiences,
Corporate Communication has evolved beyond its traditional role and deserves
recognition as The Fifth Estate, according to Corporate Communication
&amp; Reputation Advisor Pavan Kaushik, whose new book The Fifth
Estatemakes the case for elevating the profession to institutional status.

Drawing
on more than 35 years of experience across mining, metals, energy,
infrastructure, manufacturing and sustainability sectors, the book argues that
while organisations have transformed their operations, technology and
governance, many promoters, founders and CXOs continue to underestimate the
strategic importance of Corporate Communication.

Positioned
as a boardroom guide for chairpersons, promoters, founders, CEOs, CXOs and
communication leaders, The Fifth Estate examines why communication is
often excluded from strategic decision-making and how this oversight can expose
organisations to reputation, stakeholder and business risks.

“The
Fifth Estate status of Corporate Communication has not been granted; it has
been earned. More than 125 years of evolution, institutional relevance,
stakeholder dependence and professional contribution have made Corporate Communication
deserve recognition as an institution shaping trust, reputation and stakeholder
confidence,” said Pavan Kaushik.

The
book argues that organisations today are increasingly judged not only by what
they produce or achieve, but by what employees, investors, customers,
regulators, communities and other stakeholders understand, believe and trust
about them.

“Organisations
are increasingly judged by what stakeholders understand, believe and trust
about them. Operational excellence alone is no longer sufficient in an
environment shaped by constant visibility, digital scrutiny and rising
stakeholder expectations,” Pavan Kaushik said.

According
to the book, Corporate Communication today extends well beyond media relations
and publicity to encompass leadership communication, stakeholder engagement,
crisis preparedness, governance communication, reputation management and
institutional credibility.

“Corporate
Communication is no longer a support function operating at the margins of
organisations. It is increasingly influencing leadership credibility,
governance perception, stakeholder acceptance and long-term organisational
continuity,” Pavan Kaushik added.

The
book further argues that the growing relevance of Corporate Communication is no
longer confined to large corporations but is equally important for startups,
unicorns, MSMEs, SMEs and rapidly growing enterprises navigating increasingly
transparent and digitally connected business environments.

“Performance
creates results. Communication creates understanding. Understanding creates
trust. Trust ultimately determines whether organisations earn acceptance,
credibility and long-term sustainability,” said Pavan Kaushik.

Through
The Fifth Estate, Pavan Kaushik calls for a broader conversation
among business leaders, boards and communication professionals on recognising
Corporate Communication not merely as a business function, but as an
institution that has earned its place as The Fifth Estate. ]]></description>

<title>Love Bomb Wants to Build India&amp;apos;s Next Wellness Category: Relationship Wellness</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/love-bomb-wants-to-build-indias-next-wellness-category-relationship-wellness</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/love-bomb-wants-to-build-indias-next-wellness-category-relationship-wellness</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The
startup is betting that modern couples need more than gifts — they need
experiences that help them reconnect.

Mumbai, India – June 2026 : India
has wellness brands for fitness, sleep, nutrition, mental health, and skincare.
But when it comes to relationship wellness, one category remains largely
untouched. Love Bomb, an Indian startup, believes relationship wellness could
become one of the next major consumer wellness categories in India.

The
company has launched a line of premium dark chocolates formulated with
ingredients such as Ashwagandha, Shilajit, and Saffron, designed not merely as
a confectionery product but as a wellness experience for couples.

Its
mission is ambitious: Create India&#039;s first mainstream relationship wellness
brand.

&quot;We
are not building a chocolate company,&quot; says Shweta Sawant, Co-Founder of
Love Bomb.

&quot;We
are building products that help couples reconnect. Chocolate is simply our
first medium.&quot;

The
founders observed a growing contradiction in modern relationships. Couples
today are more digitally connected than ever, yet many report feeling
emotionally disconnected because of demanding careers, stress, endless screen
time, and increasingly busy lifestyles.

While
consumers can buy products for better sleep, improved fitness, healthier skin,
or enhanced productivity, there are surprisingly few mainstream products
focused on helping couples nurture their relationships.

Love
Bomb sees this gap as the beginning of an entirely new consumer category.

The
startup&#039;s flagship product combines premium dark chocolate with traditional
Ayurvedic ingredients that have long been associated with vitality, mood
enhancement, and overall well-being.

More
importantly, the brand positions its products as shared rituals rather than
consumables.

The
company has already sold over 60,000 units, validating demand among urban
Indian couples seeking unique experiences and meaningful gifting alternatives.

The
founders believe relationship wellness could follow the same trajectory as
fitness and mental wellness, categories that were once niche but have since
become mainstream consumer markets.

Industry
experts estimate India&#039;s chocolate market exceeds ₹19,000 crore, while the
broader relationship wellness sector continues to witness rapid growth as
cultural attitudes evolve.

Love
Bomb plans to expand beyond chocolates into games, gifting experiences, and
relationship-focused wellness products, creating an ecosystem centered around
connection and shared experiences.

&quot;We
believe relationship wellness is where mental wellness was ten years ago,&quot;
says Shweta.

&quot;It&#039;s
under-discussed, underserved, and incredibly important. The brands that help
people build stronger relationships will define the next decade of
wellness.&quot;

Love
Bomb products are available through multiple consumer channels, making them
accessible to couples across India. Customers can purchase directly from the
brand&#039;s official website, lovebomb.co.in, as well as leading e-commerce
marketplaces such as Amazon. The brand has also expanded into the fast-growing
quick-commerce ecosystem through Blinkit, enabling customers in select cities
to receive their orders within minutes. By combining direct-to-consumer sales,
marketplace reach, and instant delivery platforms, Love Bomb aims to make
wellness and gifting products more convenient and accessible than ever before.



Love
Bomb&#039;s long-term vision extends far beyond chocolate. The Brand aims to build
India&#039;s leading premium relationship and gifting brand, spanning chocolates,
curated gift boxes, couple games, wellness products, and experiential
offerings. The brand also plans to tap into the growing premium corporate
gifting market, where companies are increasingly seeking memorable and
differentiated gifting solutions. Looking ahead, Love Bomb intends to establish
flagship stores in premium high-street locations across major Indian cities,
creating immersive retail experiences that blend wellness, gifting, and modern
relationship culture under one brand ecosystem.

As
conversations around relationships, emotional health, and personal well-being
continue to become more open across India, Love Bomb is positioning itself at
the intersection of wellness, gifting, and modern relationships.

And
if the founders are right, they may not be creating a chocolate brand at all —
they are creating an entirely new category.

About Love Bomb

Love
Bomb is an Indian wellness company creating products and experiences designed
to help couples reconnect. Starting with premium dark chocolates infused with
traditional Ayurvedic ingredients, the company aims to build India&#039;s leading
relationship wellness brand.

<title>Schneider Electric Green Yodha ‘One Unit Mission’ Crosses 250,000+ Milestone</title>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
~250,000+ Citizens take the pledge to join the
One Unit Mission within three months 

●       
Expanding Green Yodha into a nationwide
people-led movement, Schneider Electric is encouraging Indians to take everyday
&#039;Energy Saving Actions&#039; and directly contribute towards India’s sustainability
acceleration 

New
Delhi, 26 June 2026 : Schneider Electric, a global energy
technology leader, has announced that 2,50,000 citizens have joined the One
Unit Mission which is part of its flagship Green Yodha sustainability
movement. The One Unit mission, a unique initiative which was launched
couple of months back, encourages citizens to save at least one unit of
electricity every day through smarter energy usage. 

As
India’s energy demand continues to rise, demand-side actions are emerging as a
critical lever in accelerating the country’s energy and sustainability
transition. Industry estimates suggest that every rupee saved on the demand
side, can reduce supply-side investments by a factor of 3, highlighting the
role of energy efficiency technologies and solutions in accelerating India’s
sustainability ambitions. 

Mr.
Deepak Sharma, Zone President – Greater India, MD &amp; CEO, Schneider Electric
India, said, “As India continues to grow, so will
our energy needs. At Schneider Electric, we believe the transition to a more
sustainable future is not only about producing cleaner energy but also about
using energy more efficiently. The cleanest, most sustainable unit of energy is
the one we don’t waste. If everyone saves even one unit of electricity a day,
the collective impact will be huge. Through the ‘One Unit Mission’, we hope to
inspire simple everyday actions that can together create a larger movement
towards sustainable living.” 

Through
the ‘One Unit Mission’, Schneider Electric is encouraging citizens to adopt

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sustainable-ev-solutions-in-india-that-are-changing-commercial-mobility</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Sustainable EV solutions in India, such as
Drivn Transition Pvt Ltd, Zypp Electric, Euler Motors, and Switch Mobility, are
helping businesses shift from diesel-based fleets to electric trucks, buses,
cargo vehicles, and delivery fleets. For fleet operators, this shift makes
everyday transport cleaner and more cost-aware. It also gives businesses a
practical way to modernise commercial mobility without moving away from core
operations.

  Electric buses, trucks and commercial

  Brings scale, service reach and product
  depth to commercial EV adoption
  
 


Drivn
Transition Pvt Ltd

Drivn
Transition Pvt Ltd, an emerging sustainable EV leasing solutions provider,
operates in the commercial EV space with a focus on electric buses and medium
to heavy-duty trucks. Instead of selling vehicles outright, the company builds
its model around ownership and leasing.

For fleet operators and logistics
businesses, this approach removes the need for large upfront investments. It
allows companies to integrate electric vehicles into their operations while
gradually reducing reliance on diesel-based fleets.

Zypp Electric

Zypp Electric operates in the last-mile
delivery ecosystem, offering electric scooters and loaders on a rental basis.
Its services are widely used by e-commerce, grocery, food delivery and
hyperlocal logistics businesses that require consistent daily movement.

Because last-mile fleets operate at high
frequency in dense urban routes, the shift to electric mobility has a visible
sustainability impact. Zypp Electric supports the growth of sustainable EV
companies in India by enabling an asset-light rental model that removes
ownership barriers for delivery partners and businesses. This makes EV adoption
easier in high-usage urban logistics networks.

Euler Motors

Euler Motors develops electric vehicles
tailored for cargo movement and business transport. Its portfolio includes
three-wheelers, four-wheelers and cargo-focused EVs designed specifically for
commercial use cases across logistics and distribution networks.

The company plays an important role among
emerging commercial
sustainable EV companies in India, especially in the cargo and last-mile
delivery segment. By replacing diesel cargo vehicles with electric
alternatives, it helps businesses reduce emissions while maintaining
operational efficiency.

Switch Mobility

Switch Mobility, part of the Hinduja Group,
focuses on electric buses and light commercial vehicles. Drawing from Ashok
Leyland’s engineering strength and Optare’s global expertise, it develops
zero-emission solutions for both urban and intercity mobility.

Its offerings position it strongly within
the ecosystem of sustainable EV companies in India, particularly in public
transport electrification. The focus on buses and light commercial vehicles
makes it relevant for large-scale fleet transition projects.

Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles

Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles has been
steadily expanding its electric portfolio across passenger transport, freight
and logistics segments. As one of India’s largest commercial vehicle
manufacturers, it plays a central role in scaling EV adoption across
industries.

Its manufacturing scale, service network
and product range make it a key player among commercial sustainable EV
companies in India. It supports fleet electrification across buses and trucks, where
long-term reliability and uptime are critical.

Benefits of Switching to Sustainable EV
Solutions in India

Switching to sustainable EV solutions in
India helps businesses cut fuel costs, run cleaner operations and manage fleet
expenses more predictably over time.

Some specific benefits include:


 Lower fuel dependence: Electric
     fleets reduce daily reliance on diesel and petrol, which can help
     businesses manage fuel cost pressure. 
 Cleaner commercial operations: EVs
     produce no tailpipe emissions, making them useful for city logistics,
     employee transport and public mobility. 
 Better cost visibility: Sustainable
     EV leasing solutions can help fleet operators plan monthly costs more
     clearly instead of making large upfront vehicle investments. 
 Easier fleet expansion: Leasing
     and rental-led EV models allow businesses to test electric vehicles on
     selected routes before scaling further. 
 Reduced maintenance needs: EVs
     have fewer moving parts than diesel vehicles, which may help lower
     maintenance complexity over time. 
 Support for ESG goals: Commercial
     EV adoption can help businesses show progress on cleaner transport and
     lower-emission supply chains. 


To Conclude

Sustainable
EV companies in India are becoming important for businesses that
depend on daily fleet movement. Drivn, Zypp Electric, Euler Motors, Switch
Mobility and Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles show how commercial EV adoption
can work through leasing, rentals, electric cargo vehicles, buses and trucks.
For fleet operators, these solutions offer a practical path to cleaner
transport, lower fuel dependence and better long-term fleet planning.

Which are the leading
sustainable EV companies in India for commercial mobility?

among Indian audiences. 

Written by S. Sridhar, Super Yoddha follows the

filled with warrior clans, supernatural abilities, rival kingdoms, betrayals,
epic battles, and a relentless pursuit of redemption. Across thousands of
episodes, listeners have followed Dhruv&#039;s evolution from a fallen prodigy to a
legendary warrior fighting to protect his realm from forces that threaten its
very existence. The show&#039;s blend of fantasy, mythology, action and emotional
storytelling has helped it build a passionate listener community across India.
Its success also highlights a larger shift in audience consumption habits,
where immersive audio storytelling is increasingly creating fandoms.

consistent world-building and loyal fandoms can transform an audio title into a
large-scale entertainment franchise.

<title>Century Real Estate Unveils Century Immencity, a 50+ Acre Globally benchmarked Urban Lifestyle Destination in North Bengaluru’s Jakkur</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/century-real-estate-unveils-century-immencity-a-50-acre-globally-benchmarked-urban-lifestyle-destination-in-north-bengalurus-jakkur</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/century-real-estate-unveils-century-immencity-a-50-acre-globally-benchmarked-urban-lifestyle-destination-in-north-bengalurus-jakkur</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Spread across 11 million sq. ft.,
Century Immencity is envisioned as a five-district lifestyle destination in
North Bengaluru, featuring 5 unique districts, including homes, offices,
hospitality, retail and F&amp;B

Bengaluru : Century Real Estate, one of Bengaluru’s leading real estate
developers, has announced Century Immencity, a 50+ acre mixed-use development
in Jakkur, North Bengaluru, designed to become a landmark lifestyle address on
the International Airport Road corridor. The project brings together commercial
spaces, premium residences, high-street retail, hospitality, food, culture,
open spaces and curated lifestyle experiences within one integrated urban
ecosystem.

North Bengaluru is moving beyond being a
connectivity-led corridor to becoming one of Bengaluru’s most important
business, residential and lifestyle growth centres. This transformation is
being supported by airport-led development, improvements to road
infrastructure, and planned metro connectivity. Key infrastructure initiatives
such as the Satellite Town Ring Road, Bengaluru Business Corridor and improved
connectivity to Kempegowda International Airport are further strengthening the
region’s long-term potential. Jakkur’s strategic location, proximity to
established and fast-growing catchments such as Hebbal, Yelahanka, Thanisandra,
Sahakarnagar and Hennur, and access to large contiguous land parcels create a
rare opportunity to shape a destination of this scale and ambition.

Century Immencity has been envisioned as an
integrated destination where business, living and lifestyle work together from
the outset. Being developed in collaboration with DP Architects, Singapore and
BDP Landscape, London, the project brings global design thinking and mixed-use
benchmarking to North Bengaluru. Inspired by leading international urban districts
such as Hudson Yards, Canary Wharf and other modern global ecosystems.

In terms of scale, Century Immencity will
comprise close to 10 million sq. ft. of commercial leasing, alongside expansive
residential and high-street retail development, complemented by a proposed
5-star hospitality development. The development will be introduced in phases,
with Phase 1 comprising approximately 1 million sq. ft. each of residential and
commercial development already under construction. Planned as a high-intensity business
and lifestyle destination, Century Immencity is expected to attract a strong
mix of Fortune 500 companies, GCCs, global enterprises, premium couture,
F&amp;B and hospitality brands. The campus will also include a planned metro
station within the development, further strengthening access for professionals,
residents and visitors. At maturity, Immencity is expected to support over 1
lakh professionals, while creating a strong economic and social anchor for one
of Bengaluru’s fastest-growing corridors.



Designed as a city within a city, Century
Immencity brings together the key elements of modern urban life within one
integrated destination. With premium residences, Grade A commercial spaces,
high-street retail, hospitality, dining, open spaces and curated lifestyle
experiences planned within a single ecosystem, the development is intended to
offer residents, professionals and visitors the comfort of having work,
leisure, convenience and community close at hand. The idea is to create a
self-sustaining urban environment where the everyday experience is elevated,
seamless and complete, reducing the need to step out frequently for workday
conveniences, social engagements or lifestyle needs.

Its location in Jakkur on North Bengaluru’s
Airport Road corridor further strengthens its appeal as a premium business and
lifestyle address. With Kempegowda International Airport located within a
convenient driving distance, Immencity is well-positioned for global
enterprises, senior leadership teams, business travellers and expatriate
professionals who require efficient airport access while avoiding the city’s
heavier traffic corridors. The development also offers strong connectivity to
Bengaluru’s established business districts, with the CBD reachable in
approximately 45 minutes. The upcoming Blue Line metro is expected to
significantly improve access between North Bengaluru, the airport corridor,
Whitefield and the IT hubs along Outer Ring Road. This combination of airport
proximity, future metro connectivity and integrated mixed-use planning
positions Century Immencity as a world-class urban destination for businesses,
residents and visitors alike.

The residential component will feature an
intentionally limited collection of 334 Neo Luxe residences, including 3&amp;4
bed homes ranging from 2,200 sq. ft. to 3,020 sq. ft., along with exclusive
penthouses. 

Speaking on the announcement, Mr P.
Ravindra Pai, Managing Director, Century Real Estate, said, “Century Immencity is envisioned as a landmark development
for North Bengaluru, shaped by the scale and momentum of the airport corridor.
We intend to create an ecosystem inspired by the world’s finest global
campuses, where the best of international design, commerce, hospitality and
lifestyle converge in one destination. Our vision is to build a future-ready
urban environment that supports how businesses scale, how professionals spend
their day, and how families experience a more connected way of living. With its
location, scale and planning approach, Century Immencity reflects Century Real
Estate’s commitment to building future-ready urban communities that create
long-term value for Bengaluru.”

The commercial component of Century
Immencity is designed for leading global and domestic enterprises, including
Fortune 500 occupiers and GCCs. The development draws from a human-centric
planning philosophy, where business, mobility, landscape and everyday
experiences are designed to work seamlessly together. With a largely
vehicle-free campus, pedestrian-first movement, shaded walkways, electric
internal transport and thoughtfully planned public realms, the project
prioritises comfort, accessibility and ease of movement. Sustainability is
embedded into the planning logic, with 75% open spaces, including over 35 acres
of curated open space for residents, professionals and visitors, along with
native tree retention, green buffers and climate-responsive design. Guided by
Platinum LEED-aligned development principles, Century Immencity is being
planned as an efficient, responsible and future-ready urban environment.

As North Bengaluru enters its next phase of
growth, Century Immencity is positioned to become a defining urban anchor,
drawing businesses, residents, visitors and communities into a destination
designed for both daily convenience and long-term value creation.

<title>Bridging Heritage and Modernity: Amrsy Home&amp;apos;s Design Story Across India</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/bridging-heritage-and-modernity-amrsy-homes-design-story-across-india</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/bridging-heritage-and-modernity-amrsy-homes-design-story-across-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ With roots in Assam and
a growing presence in Gurgaon&#039;s evolving design landscape, Amrsy Home is
blending craftsmanship, manufacturing expertise and personalised design to
create furniture that is tailored to modern Indian living.

India&#039;s furniture
industry is witnessing a shift. Homeowners are increasingly moving away from
standardised solutions and embracing spaces that reflect their individual
lifestyles. As this demand for personalised interiors grows, brands with strong
manufacturing foundations are finding new relevance in the market.

Among them is Amrsy
Home, a bespoke furniture and interior solutions company whose journey spans
two distinct regions of the country — Assam and Gurgaon.

While
Gurgaon has emerged as one of India&#039;s most dynamic hubs for architecture,
luxury residences and contemporary interiors, Assam has long been associated
with craftsmanship, material knowledge and a culture that values handmade
excellence. Amrsy Home&#039;s story brings these two worlds together.

As homes become
increasingly personal, furniture is no longer viewed as just a functional
element within a space. It has become a reflection of lifestyle, personality
and the way people choose to live. This shift has fuelled the demand for
customised interiors, and brands like Amrsy Home are responding with furniture
that is designed around the individual rather than the trend.

Built
on more than three decades of manufacturing experience, Amrsy Home has steadily
established itself as a destination for homeowners seeking thoughtfully crafted
furniture and tailored interior solutions. The brand&#039;s approach is simple:
every home is different, and the furniture within it should be too.

At a time when
mass-produced designs dominate the market, Amrsy Home focuses on creating
pieces that feel personal. Whether it is a statement dining table, a custom
wardrobe, a sophisticated living room setup or a complete home interior, each
project begins with understanding the client&#039;s vision. The goal is not simply
to fill a space, but to create something that naturally belongs within it.

What makes the process
unique is the balance between craftsmanship and modern manufacturing. While
advanced technology ensures precision and consistency, skilled artisans bring
character and detail to every piece. This combination allows Amrsy Home to
create furniture that is both functional and refined, designed to withstand
everyday use while maintaining its visual appeal over time.



The
brand believes that great furniture should evolve with the lives of the people
who use it. Rather than following short-lived design trends, its focus remains
on timeless aesthetics, practical functionality and quality materials. The
result is furniture that feels relevant today and continues to do so for years
to come.

Personalisation remains
at the heart of the Amrsy Home experience. We encourage exploring layouts,
finishes, materials and design details that align with their preferences and
lifestyle needs.

This collaborative
process often leads to spaces that feel more authentic, where every element
contributes to a cohesive and meaningful living environment.

In recent years, Indian
homeowners have become increasingly conscious about the quality and
individuality of their interiors. There is a growing appreciation for furniture
that tells a story and adds depth to a space rather than simply serving a
purpose. Amrsy Home&#039;s design philosophy aligns closely with this evolving
mindset, offering solutions that combine aesthetics with everyday practicality.

Beyond standalone
furniture pieces, the company also provides end-to-end interior solutions,
helping clients create homes with a consistent design language. From
conceptualisation and design development to manufacturing and installation, the
process is managed with careful attention to detail, ensuring that every space
feels thoughtfully considered.

Material selection
plays an equally important role. Each project is approached with a focus on
durability, comfort and visual harmony. Premium finishes, carefully chosen
materials and meticulous execution come together to create furniture that not
only enhances a space but also enriches the experience of living within it.

As design preferences
continue to move towards personalised and meaningful spaces, the role of
bespoke furniture is becoming increasingly significant. Homeowners today are
looking for more than standard solutions; they are seeking pieces that reflect
who they are and how they live.

For Amrsy Home, that
idea has been central to its journey. Drawing inspiration from its roots in
Assam while serving a new generation of homeowners in Gurgaon and beyond, the
brand continues to create furniture that is defined not by trends, but by the
people who live with it.

By combining
craftsmanship, technology and a customer-first approach, the brand continues to
create furniture and interiors that feel uniquely connected to the people who
use them. The result is not just a beautifully designed home, but a space that
feels genuinely personal from the moment one steps inside. In an industry often
driven by standardisation, Amrsy Home&#039;s journey demonstrates the value of
craftsmanship, personalisation and a strong connection to place — proving that
great furniture is not just made, but thoughtfully created.

<title>It’s Time to Recognise Corporate Communication as ‘The Fifth Estate’, Says Pavan Kaushik in New Book</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/its-time-to-recognise-corporate-communication-as-the-fifth-estate-says-pavan-kaushik-in-new-book</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/its-time-to-recognise-corporate-communication-as-the-fifth-estate-says-pavan-kaushik-in-new-book</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ NEW DELHI: At
a time when organisations face unprecedented scrutiny from stakeholders,
investors, regulators, communities and digital audiences, Corporate
Communication &amp; Reputation Advisor Pavan Kaushik has
released his fourth book, The Fifth Estate, arguing that Corporate
Communication has evolved into an institution shaping organisational trust,
credibility and acceptance.

Positioned as a boardroom guide for
chairpersons, promoters, founders, CEOs, CXOs and communication leaders, The
Fifth Estate explores where organisations often go wrong on
communication, why communication is frequently excluded from strategic
decision-making, and how this oversight can create reputation, stakeholder and
business risks.

Drawing on more than 35 years of experience
across mining, metals, energy, infrastructure, manufacturing and sustainability
sectors, the book examines why many organisations continue to underestimate
communication despite operating in an era of heightened visibility, digital
scrutiny and growing stakeholder expectations.

The book is based on Pavan Kaushik’s
long-held belief that while businesses invest heavily in operations, finance
and technology, they often underestimate the strategic value of communication
until a reputation challenge, stakeholder conflict or crisis emerges.

At the centre of the book is Pavan
Kaushik’s proposition that Corporate Communication deserves recognition as “The
Fifth Estate” because of its expanding influence on governance, stakeholder
alignment and organisational resilience.

“The Fifth Estate status of Corporate
Communication has not been granted; it has been earned. More than 125 years of
evolution, institutional relevance, stakeholder dependence and professional
contribution have made Corporate Communication deserve recognition as an
institution shaping trust, reputation and stakeholder confidence,” said Pavan
Kaushik.

The book argues that many promoters,
founders and CXOs continue to view communication as a support activity even as
reputation, trust and stakeholder perception increasingly influence business
outcomes.

“Organisations are increasingly judged by
what stakeholders understand, believe and trust about them. Operational
excellence alone is no longer sufficient in an environment shaped by constant
visibility, digital scrutiny and rising stakeholder expectations,” Pavan
Kaushik said.

The book examines leadership communication,
crisis preparedness, stakeholder engagement, reputation management, community
relations and the growing importance of communication in governance and
institutional credibility. It presents Corporate Communication as a strategic
discipline that influences how organisations are understood, trusted and
accepted by stakeholders.

“Corporate Communication is no longer a
support function operating at the margins of organisations. It is increasingly
influencing leadership credibility, governance perception, stakeholder
acceptance and long-term organisational continuity,” Pavan Kaushik added.

According to the author, the growing
significance of Corporate Communication is no longer limited to large
corporations but is increasingly relevant for startups, unicorns, MSMEs, SMEs
and rapidly scaling enterprises navigating complex stakeholder environments.

“Performance creates results. Communication
creates understanding. Understanding creates trust. Trust ultimately determines
whether organisations earn acceptance, credibility and long-term
sustainability,” said Pavan Kaushik.

Through The Fifth Estate, Pavan
Kaushik seeks to initiate a broader conversation among business leaders on why
communication deserves a seat at the leadership table and why it should be
viewed as a strategic leadership capability essential to modern organisational
success.

The Fifth Estate argues that while businesses compete through products,
technology and capital, their long-term licence to operate increasingly depends
on trust, understanding and stakeholder confidence. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ BBA and MBA programme students to gain

New Delhi, June 25, 2026 : Pearl Academy School of Business has announced a strategic

exposure to real-world business challenges while building leadership,

<title>RAHSTA 2026 Maps the Future of India’s Roads</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/rahsta-2026-maps-the-future-of-indias-roads</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/rahsta-2026-maps-the-future-of-indias-roads</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Asia’s largest roads and highways platform to showcase
innovations, policy dialogue and industry excellence on July 8-9

Mumbai: India’s road infrastructure sector
is approaching a defining moment. After years of record highway construction,
the focus is shifting from building more roads to building better ones—roads
that are more durable, technology-enabled, sustainable and capable of
delivering greater lifecycle value.

These priorities will take centre stage at the 16th
RAHSTA Expo 2026 (Roads and Highways Sustainable Technologies &amp;
Advancement), to be held on July 8-9, 2026, at the Jio World
Convention Centre, Mumbai.

Organised by ASAPP Info Global Group, in association
with the FIRST Construction Council, the 16th RAHSTA will build on these
discussions by bringing together the complete roads and highways ecosystem to
explore solutions for India&#039;s next phase of infrastructure development.

With the theme “Roads, Highways, Bridges &amp; Tunnels –
Connecting Sustainably, Safely, Smartly,” the event will showcase how
innovation, digitalisation, advanced construction equipment, sustainable
materials and collaborative policymaking are reshaping the country’s transport
infrastructure.

At a time when India’s infrastructure ambitions are
accelerating under Vision 2047, the industry is also confronting new realities.
Contractors are becoming more selective, project financing models are evolving,
technology adoption is gathering pace, sustainability is becoming integral to
infrastructure development, and lifecycle performance is increasingly taking
precedence over lowest-cost construction.

These issues formed the basis of two high-level industry roundtable
discussions organised in the run-up to RAHSTA 2026, bringing together leading
contractors, infrastructure developers, equipment manufacturers, consultants,
technology providers and policymakers.

“What this has done is create a 360-degree attack. Materials,
equipment, labour, capital—everything is being affected simultaneously. Our
industry already works on very thin margins, and this has added another layer
of pressure,” said Pratap Padode, Founder, FIRST Construction Council,
while discussing the impact of rising global uncertainties on India’s road
construction sector. “How sustainable is road construction when input costs are
rising but bids are still falling? On one hand, negative bids show appetite. On
the other, they also indicate serious inherent risk in project execution,
quality and completion,” he added.

Lt Gen Rajeev Chaudhry (Retd.), Former Director General,
Border Roads Organisation and Chairman, RAHSTA Committee, cautioned that India’s infrastructure ambitions must be
supported by better procurement practices and long-term thinking. “The ‘easy’
highway projects are largely behind us. The future lies in technically
demanding projects across difficult terrains. Success will depend on stronger
collaboration between policymakers, contractors, financiers and technology
providers.”

Highlighting the growing importance of RAHSTA as a national
infrastructure platform, Deepak Kumar, IAS, Infrastructure &amp; Industrial
Development Commissioner, Government of Uttar Pradesh, commented in a video
interview, “RAHSTA provides an excellent platform for states to showcase our
infrastructure progress and investment ecosystem. Uttar Pradesh has transformed
significantly over the past decade, backed by more than 34 investor-friendly
industrial policies, and platforms like RAHSTA help communicate these
developments to industry stakeholders from across the country.”

A comprehensive industry platform

RAHSTA Expo 2026 will showcase the latest innovations across
the entire roads and highways ecosystem, including road construction equipment,
earthmoving and paving machinery, bridge and tunnel technologies, intelligent
transport systems, road safety solutions, geosynthetics and advanced
construction materials, digital construction technologies, asset management and
maintenance solutions, and sustainable and green infrastructure technologies.

Leading companies exhibiting include Caterpillar, Tata
Hitachi, Volvo, LiuGong India, Electrotherm India, Kaushik Engineering Works,
Suntech Geotextile, Kataline Infra Products, Lysaght Taperline Poles, Alcolite
India Road Safety, Shakambhari Group, among several other national and
international exhibitors.

RAHSTA Conference

Running alongside the exhibition, the RAHSTA Conference
will feature thought leaders from government, industry, academia and
infrastructure institutions discussing the future of India’s road sector.

Among the distinguished speakers are Sanjay Sethi,
Additional Chief Secretary (Transport), Government of Maharashtra; Deepak
Kumar, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary &amp; Infrastructure &amp;
Industrial Development Commissioner, Government of Uttar Pradesh Bidur Kant
Jha, Director – New Technology for Highway Development, MoRTH; Dr Sanjay
Mukherjee, Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA; Dr Brijesh Dixit, Managing
Director, Maharashtra State Infrastructure Development Corporation ,
Anilkumar Gaikwad, Vice Chairman &amp; MD, MSRDC; Dr Brijesh Dixit,
MD, MSIDC; Sandeep Singh, MD, Tata Hitachi; Ajay Hans, Managing
Director, GHV Infra Projects, Bovin Kumar, CEO, Cube Highways; TR Rao,
Whole Time Director, PNC Infratech; to name a few.

Recognising excellence

The event will also host the RAHSTA Awards 2026, recognising
excellence across the roads and highways ecosystem. The awards will honour
outstanding achievements across 24 categories, covering road developers,
contractors, construction equipment manufacturers, technology innovators,
material suppliers, sustainability initiatives, smart mobility solutions and
project execution excellence.

The awards aim to recognise organisations and professionals
driving innovation, quality, safety and sustainability across India&#039;s rapidly
expanding road infrastructure sector.

RAHSTA 2026 has received extensive support from industry
stakeholders.

in shaping careers across Animation, Visual Effects (VFX), Gaming, Digital
Content Creation, AR/VR, Multimedia, and related creative disciplines,
empowering over 5 lakh students worldwide to pursue opportunities in the global
creative economy.

The
milestone marks three decades of Arena Animation&#039;s commitment to nurturing
talent, driving innovation, and building a skilled workforce for the rapidly
evolving AVGC-XR (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comics and Extended
Reality) sector. Today, as India emerges as a global hub for digital content
creation and creative technologies, Arena Animation continues to strengthen its
position as a leading talent development partner for the industry.

Over
the years, Arena Animation has expanded its footprint having over 210 centres
across 100+ cities &amp; towns globally, building one of the country&#039;s largest
creative education networks. Backed by Aptech Limited&#039;s 40-year legacy in
education and skilling, the brand has consistently evolved its curriculum to
align with emerging technologies, industry requirements, and changing career
aspirations. Recently, Arena also successfully launched its Academic
Advisory Board in Mumbai, marking a significant step towards strengthening
industry-academia collaboration in India’s AVGC-XR and creative sectors. At
Arena Animation, staying aligned with evolving industry needs has always been a
priority. Guided by the philosophy of &quot;Learn from the Leader,”
Arena believes students learn best from professionals who are actively shaping
the industry. The Academic Advisory Board has been established to bring
this expertise directly into the learning journey, ensuring curriculum remains
relevant, future-focused, and validated by leading industry practitioners.

Interestingly,
while Indian studios have traditionally served as production partners for
global projects, the success of homegrown IPs such as The Legend of Hanuman and
the global reception of Netflix&#039;s Kurukshetra signal a significant shift in the
industry. With audiences increasingly embracing diverse, locally rooted
stories, demand for original content across genres continues to grow.
Recognising this opportunity, Arena Animation is expanding its focus beyond
skill development to nurture the next generation of creators, storytellers, and
entrepreneurs. Through initiatives such as Arena Animation Originals, students
and alumni are encouraged to conceptualise, develop, and showcase original
intellectual properties, fostering innovation, creative entrepreneurship, and
participation in the rapidly growing creator and orange economies.

Arena
Animation&#039;s alumni have gone on to make significant contributions across
leading studios, production houses, gaming companies, broadcasters, and digital
content organisations, including DNEG, Rockstar Games, Zebu Animation, Green
Gold Animation, ILM, NYVFXWALA, Network18, Digitoonz, and many others. Several
alumni have been credited on internationally acclaimed and Oscar-nominated
film projects, while others have distinguished themselves at prestigious
platforms such as the IndiaSkills Competition and proudly represented
India at the WorldSkills Competition. Many have also received
recognition and accolades from state governments and dignitaries, including
Chief Ministers, for their outstanding achievements in the creative sectors.
Their success stories stand as a powerful testament to the brand&#039;s focus on
industry-aligned learning and career excellence.

 Speaking on the
occasion, Mr. Sandip Weling, Whole-time Director &amp; Chief Business
Officer, Aptech Limited said, “As Arena Animation celebrates 30 years,
we take immense pride in the impact our students, alumni, faculty, franchise
partners, and industry collaborators have created together. This milestone is

the future. As the creative economy continues to expand, our focus remains on
empowering aspiring creators with industry-relevant skills, fostering

<description><![CDATA[  

 “Pause. Think. Act.” -  A new-age animated edutainment IP helping
children navigate real-life situations through smart thinking, emotional
awareness, and practical learning.

Mumbai,
June 24th, 2026 : Kayhan Entertainment,
an integrated IP-led ecosystem with a strategic focus on IP ownership and
creative exports, has announced the launch of its latest premium animated
edutainment IP, Smart KidZ, exclusively on ZEE5 Kidz. Designed for children
aged 7 to 13, the series combines fast-paced storytelling, humour, emotional
intelligence, and practical life learning to help children navigate real-world
situations through entertainment-led storytelling. Built around the simple
philosophy of “Pause. Think. Act.”, the show transforms everyday childhood challenges
into engaging animated adventures designed for today’s digitally native
children. Starting June 5, 2026, the series will roll out in an initial batch
of 5 to 10 episodes.

Smart
KidZ focuses on situations children experience every day but are rarely taught
how to handle, from friendship conflicts, peer pressure, comparison anxiety,
and emotional reactions to practical moments like power cuts, digital
behaviour, stranger awareness, responsibility, and decision-making. Instead of
relying on preachy messaging or traditional moral-based storytelling, the
series uses humour, magical mentors, action, and visual problem-solving to
allow children to naturally arrive at the learning through the story itself.
Designed for both children and parents, the show blends entertainment with
Thoughtful meaningful and practical takeaways that young viewers can apply in
real life.

Founded
by Dalbir Singh and Arushi Govil, Kayhan is being built through a distinctive
creative partnership that brings together vision and execution in equal
measure. As one of India’s most defining IP-creator couple, the two founders
combine storytelling ambition, worldbuilding expertise, and production
discipline to create and scale original IP from India. Their complementary
strengths are shaping Kayhan into an integrated creative ecosystem designed to
accelerate India’s shift from execution-led services to ownership-driven
storytelling.

Speaking
about the launch, Dalbir Singh, Co-Founder, Kayhan Entertainment, said,
“Smart KidZ represents an important step in our larger IP expansion strategy
where storytelling becomes emotionally useful while remaining entertaining at
its core. Children today are growing up in a world that moves faster than ever
before, and many of the challenges they face are emotional, behavioural, and
practical rather than academic. Through Smart KidZ, we wanted to create stories
that help children slow down, think clearly, and respond better to situations
around them. Our focus continues to be on building original Indian IP that can
create long-term value while also connecting meaningfully with modern
families.”

Adding
to this, Arushi Govil, Co-Founder, Kayhan Entertainment, said, “Children
today are emotionally aware much earlier, but they are also exposed to
confusion, pressure, comparison, and information overload at a very young age.
Smart KidZ was designed to support both children and parents through stories
that feel warm, relatable, practical, and Life-skills focused.We did not want
the show to feel like teaching. We wanted the learning to happen naturally
through humour, adventure, and relatable situations. The idea is to help
children become more Self-aware ,confident, thoughtful, and prepared for
everyday life.”

At
the heart of Smart KidZ are recurring mentor characters who guide children
through emotional and practical situations using curiosity, teamwork, calm
thinking, and empathy-led problem-solving. Anand and the Fab 5 bring humour,
energy, and practical thinking into everyday chaos, while Tara and his team,
including Darmiya and Saku, step in during moments that require courage,
emotional clarity, safety, and confidence. Every episode is designed around
relatable childhood experiences and leaves viewers with one simple takeaway
they can remember and apply in real life, whether it is pausing before
reacting, asking questions before assuming, respecting boundaries, apologising
properly, staying calm during stressful moments, or making smarter decisions.
With Smart KidZ, Kayhan Entertainment continues to expand its vision of
building emotionally relevant, culturally rooted, and scalable Indian IP
designed for the next generation of digital audiences.

The
launch of Smart KidZ comes at a time when children&#039;s content is emerging as one
of the most promising segments within the global media and entertainment
industry. With India home to one of the world&#039;s largest youth populations and
its digital video audience continuing to expand rapidly, the demand for
high-quality, culturally relevant, and digitally native children&#039;s programming
continues to grow across OTT platforms, YouTube, connected TV, and gaming
ecosystems. Globally, animation continues to grow as a scalable
family-entertainment category, driven by increasing consumption of family
entertainment and franchise-led storytelling. Against this backdrop, Smart KidZ
reflects Kayhan Entertainment&#039;s broader vision of creating culturally rooted
entertainment that combines meaningful storytelling with long-term franchise
potential, positioning India not only as a content production hub but as a
creator and exporter of globally relevant intellectual property.

<title>India’s First AI&#45;Powered Land Management Platform ‘The Land Bankers’ Launched to Resolve Property Disputes</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-first-ai-powered-land-management-platform-the-land-bankers-launched-to-resolve-property-disputes</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-first-ai-powered-land-management-platform-the-land-bankers-launched-to-resolve-property-disputes</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ BHUBANESWAR, INDIA : In a significant move to tackle the legal complexities of land
ownership and transactions in India, &#039;The Land Bankers&#039; (thelandbankers.com) has officially launched its innovative, first-of-its-kind
Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered platform at a premier hotel in
Bhubaneswar. Strengthening its physical roots in the state, the company has
established its first office at the IIT Research and Entrepreneurship Park in
Bhubaneswar, along with a second branch at Telengapentha in Cuttack.

 

Property transactions in India are
frequently hindered by fraudulent documentation, incorrect records, and illegal
encroachments, creating prolonged disputes that cause mental distress and deter
investors. &#039;The Land Bankers&#039; addresses these critical issues by leveraging
advanced technology to provide a seamless, secure, and permanent solution.

 

The platform enables users to
verify the actual status of land, analyze and monitor legal documents using AI,
obtain accurate property valuations, and access expert legal counsel. With just
a single click, citizens can view a transparent summary of official government
land records, incorporating a user-friendly tool to easily navigate portals
like Bhulekh Odisha (thelandbankers.com/bhulekh-odisha). This prevents future fraud and empowers locals to understand
their property data easily. Additionally, the digital transparency serves as a
robust tool for state and central governments to detect deed forgery, halt
illegal encroachments, and expedite dispute resolution.

 

The visionary platform is founded
by Amarendra Sahu, who conceived the idea after witnessing firsthand
howproperty disputes tear families apart. &quot;Land disputes and partitioning
destroy relationships. My primary mission is to make property ownership simple,
transparent, and completely dispute-free,&quot; Sahu
stated. The core team also features AI Head Bikash Patra and UI/UX Specialist
Shanavas Baiju.



According to Sahu, almost every
family in India has dealt with a land headache at some point. &quot;Whether
it&#039;s a delayed sale, a family dispute, messy records, or the constant fear of
someone else claiming your property,&quot; Sahu shared. &quot;We spent almost
two years building The Land Bankers so property owners can finally have clear
information, transparency, and peace of mind.&quot;

 

Before officially launching, the
company did a three-month test run with about 1,100 customers across all 30
districts of Odisha. The strong response proved that people really need help
securing their land titles and making property transactions smoother. Right now,
the startup is focusing on growing its roots in Odisha, with plans to
eventually expand into Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.


Soobhankar Pati, the CEO of IIT Bhubaneswar Research and Entrepreneurship Park,
pointed out that land is one of the most important sectors in India, yet it has
largely been left behind by modern tech. He praised TLB for taking on such a
massive and complicated problem by blending modern technology, AI, and expert
knowledge.

 

While rooted in Odisha, &#039;The Land
Bankers&#039; plans to rapidly expand its operations to other major states, with
Karnataka and Tamil Nadu targeted in the next phase. The launch event saw
widespread praise from prominent real estate developers, early consumers, and
journalists, who collectively emphasized that the platform is set to ignite a
golden era for the real estate and land management sector in Odisha.

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/bengaluru-to-host-500-founders-and-launch-dedicated-startup-fund-at-india-startup-week-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ BENGALURU,
June 24, 2026 : India Startup Week 2026 (ISW26) officially
launched on 20th June 2026 in Bengaluru, unveiling an ambitious three-day
startup festival designed to connect founders, investors, mentors, policymakers
and ecosystem leaders under one roof.

Scheduled
from August 21–23, 2026, ISW26 is expected to bring together 500+ founders,
100+ investors, family offices, venture capital firms and startup enablers,
reinforcing Bengaluru&#039;s position as India&#039;s leading startup hub.

The
event was launched at a Curtain Raiser hosted by Official Festival Partner
DoubleTree by Hilton, where organizers unveiled a series of initiatives aimed
at addressing some of the biggest challenges faced by startups—access to
capital, mentorship, governance support and sustainable growth.

Speaking
on the vision behind the initiative, Ujjwal Mukhia, Founder, India Startup
Week, said &quot;India Startup Week was born from a simple belief—that every
founder deserves access to opportunities, guidance and capital regardless of
where they start. We are creating a platform that brings together
entrepreneurs, investors, mentors and industry leaders to help transform ideas
into scalable businesses. Our vision is to make ISW one of India&#039;s most
influential startup ecosystem platforms and a catalyst for the next generation
of entrepreneurs.&quot;

One
of the key announcements at the launch was the introduction of a 360-Degree
Startup Support Platform, unveiled by Ramani Iyer, Partner &amp; Advisor, India
Startup Week, Co-Founder of Justdial and Founder of Elephant God Accelerator.
The platform will support startups with compliance, governance, financial
planning, mentorship, investor readiness and business growth.

ISW26
also announced the launch of the ISW Fund in partnership with World 5 Fund,
aimed at facilitating access to Seed, Series A and growth-stage capital through
a curated network of investors, venture capital firms, family offices and HNIs.

Commenting
on the initiative, Ramani Iyer,  Partner
&amp; Advisor, India Startup Week, said &quot;India has no shortage of
brilliant entrepreneurs. What many founders need is structured access to
capital, mentorship, governance support and the right ecosystem at the right
stage of growth. India Startup Week has been designed as a platform that brings
all these elements together, helping startups move from idea to scale with
confidence and clarity.&quot;

The
event will also introduce the India Startup Week Club (ISWC), a year-round
founder and investor community designed to foster networking, learning,
mentorship and business opportunities beyond the festival.

As
Official Workspace Partner, BHIVE will host a series of Startup Roadshows
across Bengaluru, offering startup audits, mentorship sessions and
funding-readiness support in the lead-up to the event.

Speaking
about the future vision of the platform, Vikram Shah, Director, India Startup
Week, said &quot;India Startup Week is not just another startup conference. We
are building a founder-first ecosystem that combines capital access,
mentorship, networking and year-round community engagement. Our vision is to
grow ISW into a national platform that connects founders, investors and
ecosystem leaders across India&#039;s leading startup cities. Bengaluru is just the
beginning, and we are excited to announce Hyderabad as the next destination in
our journey to build a stronger and more connected entrepreneurial
ecosystem.&quot;

Organizers
also announced that following the Bengaluru edition, India Startup Week will
expand to Hyderabad later this year, marking the beginning of a multi-city
strategy aimed at creating stronger regional startup communities and deeper
founder-investor engagement across India.

Unlike
traditional startup conferences, ISW26 will feature Founder Mentoring Zones,
Investor Connect Sessions, Startup Showcase Areas, Innovation Experiences,
Wellness Programs and curated networking opportunities. The three-day festival
will include a Startup Networking Summit, Masterclasses, Startup Excellence
Awards, Investor Connect Sessions and the India Startup Week Awards.

The
launch event was attended by startup founders, investors and ecosystem leaders
including Rakesh Meghani, Kashish Mukhia, Sri Krishna Chaitanya Swami (ISKCON
GBCM) and Shyam Kumar, General Manager, DoubleTree by Hilton.

With
Bengaluru already, home to one of the world&#039;s most vibrant startup ecosystems,
India Startup Week 2026 aims to create a powerful platform that accelerates
innovation, investment and entrepreneurial growth across the country. For

<description><![CDATA[ June
24, 2026, Hyderabad, India : Strengthening access to specialized

newest Rainbow Children&#039;s &amp; BirthRight Clinic in Kompally,
offering consultant-led outpatient care for women, newborns, children and
adolescents in one convenient location.

The
new clinic is designed to meet the growing healthcare needs of families in
Kompally and the surrounding neighbourhoods by bringing together Rainbow&#039;s
trusted expertise in pediatrics and BirthRight&#039;s comprehensive women&#039;s
healthcare under one roof. Patients can now access specialized consultations,
preventive care, vaccinations, developmental assessments, pregnancy care, fetal
medicine services, gynecological consultations, management of high-risk
pregnancies, well-woman health services and follow-up care, while also
benefiting from seamless access to Rainbow Children&#039;s Hospital&#039;s extensive

With
an emphasis on early diagnosis, preventive healthcare and continuity of care,
the clinic enables families to receive expert medical guidance closer to home
without having to travel across the city for routine consultations. Whether it
is a child&#039;s first vaccination, managing chronic pediatric conditions,
supporting adolescent health, monitoring a high-risk pregnancy or providing
advanced fetal assessments, the clinic offers comprehensive care through every
stage of a family&#039;s healthcare journey.

The
launch reflects Rainbow Children&#039;s Hospital&#039;s continued commitment to expanding
access to high-quality pediatric and women&#039;s healthcare through
neighbourhood-based centres that combine clinical excellence with convenience.
Backed by a multidisciplinary team and standardized clinical protocols, the
clinic ensures that patients receive the same quality of care that Rainbow has
been known for over the past 26 years.

offering advanced neonatal and pediatric intensive care, quaternary care and
highly specialized pediatric services in a child-friendly environment. Through
BirthRight by Rainbow, the group also provides comprehensive care for women
across every stage of life, from adolescence and fertility to pregnancy,
childbirth and menopause.

<title>Matunga–Sion corridor emerges as Mumbai’s next high&#45;growth real estate destination</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/matungasion-corridor-emerges-as-mumbais-next-high-growth-real-estate-destination</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/matungasion-corridor-emerges-as-mumbais-next-high-growth-real-estate-destination</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Matunga and Sion are part of central Mumbai
and regarded to being among Mumbai’s most established residential
neighbourhoods.  Be it for the educational institutions, strong community
fabric and central location, this micro-market has developed into a mature
residential market. Beyond headline-grabbing real estate projects, the
Matunga-Sion corridor is part of a quiet but significant transformation. It has
emerged into one of the city’s most compelling urban growth stories and is
attracting renewed attention from developers, investors and homebuyers. The
corridor is peaking interest through the promise of redevelopment, modern
housing and long-term value creation.

A large stock of ageing residential
buildings forms the core of this evolution. The older buildings are
increasingly making way for contemporary developments designed to meet the
expectations of a new generation of Matunga-Sion’s urban residents. The
transformation is being further accelerated by a wave of infrastructure
upgrades that are reshaping mobility across Mumbai. Coupled with the corridor’s
strategic position between South Mumbai, the western suburbs and key commercial
districts, new urban infrastructure developments are enhancing accessibility
and reinforcing the area&#039;s appeal. 

Viewed as a desirable destination for both
end-users and long-term investors, industry experts point to a rare combination
of factors that is driving this momentum. Unlike several peripheral growth
corridors that depend largely on future infrastructure projects on paper,
Matunga and Sion benefit from mature social infrastructure, established
residential communities and seamless connectivity to key business districts.
Redevelopment projects taking shape alongside are giving the area&#039;s housing
landscape a new dimension.

According to Suhan Shetty, Founder of
Rubics Group, the corridor offers a combination that is increasingly difficult
to find elsewhere in Mumbai. “Very few areas in Mumbai offer the rare
combination of centrality, connectivity and neighbourhood character that the
Matunga–Sion corridor does today. Along with seamless access to key business
districts, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, lifestyle
destinations and major transport networks, the area has constantly found a
place among the city&#039;s most coveted residential addresses,” he said.

The Matunga and Sion corridor’s appeal
extends beyond connectivity. Matunga, has managed to retain its cultural
identity, tree-lined streets and strong sense of community. These are strong
attributes that are increasingly valued by homebuyers as they seek a balance
between urban convenience and quality of life.

Shetty noted that a combination of heritage
and modernisation had led to the creation of demand for a new generation of
residential developments. “There is a unique balance here that has attracted
demand and opened opportunities for luxury residential developments that place
equal emphasis on design, sustainability and quality of life,” he added.

Another real estate trend that has ushered
the blending of contemporary designs with sustainability and livability that
underpins the corridor&#039;s growth story is redevelopment. Much of the housing
stock across Matunga and Sion is over five decades old, and has opened up a
significant opportunity for urban renewal. Developers are looking at replacing
ageing buildings with contemporary projects featuring larger homes, organised
parking, premium amenities and modern lifestyle offerings.

Chintan Sheth, Chairman and Managing
Director of Sheth Realty, believes this redevelopment cycle is becoming one of
the most powerful catalysts for growth in the corridor. “Among Mumbai&#039;s most
compelling real estate locations today is the Matunga–Sion corridor. It is
driven by a rare convergence of legacy, redevelopment potential and transformative
infrastructure leading to its rapid growth,” he said.

According to Sheth, the established
residential character of Matunga combined with Sion&#039;s ongoing transformation is
creating renewed confidence among both homebuyers and investors. “Much of the
housing stock in the corridor is over five decades old and offers a significant
redevelopment opportunity that is already translating into strong market demand
and renewed confidence in the corridor&#039;s long-term growth prospects,” he said.

The investment case is further strengthened
by the area&#039;s strategic positioning within Mumbai&#039;s transportation network. The
Matunga-Sion corridor sits at the intersection of the Central, Western and
Harbour railway systems, providing residents with direct access to virtually
every part of the city. This rail connectivity is complemented by major road
infrastructure projects that are reshaping travel patterns across the Mumbai
Metropolitan Region.

Recent upgrades such as the Sion-BKC
elevated connector, the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (Atal Setu), the Coastal Road
and the expanding Metro network have significantly improved accessibility to
major commercial centres including Bandra-Kurla Complex, Lower Parel, Worli,
South Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.

“The corridor&#039;s appeal is further
strengthened by its strategic location connected to the Central, Western and
Harbour railway networks. This advantage is further amplified by transformative
infrastructure projects such as the Sion-BKC elevated road, along with the Atal
Setu, Coastal Road and the expanding Metro network,” Sheth said.

For a large section of homebuyers, the
attraction lies in the ability to access key business districts while avoiding
the premium pricing associated with locations such as Bandra, Lower Parel and
parts of South Mumbai. This positioning has broadened the corridor&#039;s appeal
among professionals, entrepreneurs and families seeking both connectivity and
long-term value.

Rajendra M. Rajan, Founder of TransIndia
Group, believes the strength of the Matunga-Sion belt lies in the combination
of connectivity, infrastructure access and constrained housing supply. “The
Sion–Matunga corridor sits at the intersection of connectivity, infrastructure
upgrades, commercial access and limited housing supply, which come together to create
enormous growth potential,” he said.

Rajan highlighted how recent transport
upgrades have improved access to major employment centres while reinforcing the
area&#039;s role as a strategic gateway. “The Sion–Matunga corridor enjoys a unique
advantage as a central gateway between Mumbai&#039;s two transformational
infrastructure projects, namely the Mumbai Coastal Road and Atal Setu. With
seamless access to South Mumbai, BKC, Navi Mumbai, JNPT and the recently opened
Navi Mumbai International Airport, the corridor is increasingly emerging as a
high-connectivity residential and investment destination,” he said.

Market performance indicators suggest that
buyers and investors are already responding to these advantages. Industry
estimates indicate that residential values across parts of the corridor have
witnessed strong appreciation over recent years, supported by rising rental
demand and limited supply of quality housing stock.

Rajan noted that property values along the
corridor increased by approximately 37 per cent between 2021 and 2025, while
rental growth in locations such as Sion and neighbouring areas reflects growing
occupier demand. He attributes this resilience to the area&#039;s mature
neighbourhood ecosystem and limited availability of developable land, factors
that continue to support long-term capital appreciation.

Beyond infrastructure and real estate
fundamentals, the corridor benefits from a rich social ecosystem that few
emerging markets can replicate. Residents enjoy proximity to leading
educational institutions such as Don Bosco High School, SIES College, Ruia
College and KJ Somaiya College, along with established healthcare facilities,
recreational spaces including Five Gardens and Shivaji Park, and convenient
access to commercial hubs across the city.

This combination of connectivity, social
infrastructure and redevelopment-led transformation is steadily repositioning
Matunga and Sion from established residential neighbourhoods into one of
Mumbai&#039;s most strategically positioned and future-ready micro-markets.

As redevelopment gathers pace and
infrastructure projects continue to simplify accessibility, the Matunga–Sion
corridor appears well placed to emerge as one of Mumbai&#039;s most attractive
locations for end-users seeking an elevated lifestyle and investors looking at

<title>iTokri&amp;apos;s 95% women team: building India&amp;apos;s largest handmade platform from Gwalior</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/itokris-95-women-team-building-indias-largest-handmade-platform-from-gwalior</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/itokris-95-women-team-building-indias-largest-handmade-platform-from-gwalior</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  A workforce of
women professionals in Gwalior manages cataloguing, quality control, and
logistics for 100,000+ handmade products from 500+ craft clusters across India

Gwalior, India, June 2026 : iTokri.com runs its core operations through a team that is 95%
women, most from economically disadvantaged backgrounds in Gwalior. They are
not symbolic hires. They run the daily operations of a platform that ships
handmade products from 10,000+ artisan partners to customers across India and
30+ countries.

The team handles cataloguing, product
photography, quality checks, packaging, dispatch, and customer support for over
100,000 products across 150+ craft techniques. With 500+ new products listed
daily, the work demands speed, precision, and real knowledge of materials and
techniques.

What the team actually does

Each product that reaches a customer passes
through multiple hands in the Gwalior operations centre. Quality inspectors check
weave density, colour fastness, and finishing. Cataloguers identify craft
techniques, name materials accurately, and write product descriptions that
distinguish a Maheshwari silk-cotton from a Chanderi. Packaging teams handle
textiles that range from delicate chiffon dupattas to heavy handloom
bedspreads. Customer support staff field questions about fabrics, sizing, and
care, often for crafts most people have never heard of.

This is skilled, detail-intensive work. The
women doing it have built their expertise on the job, learning to identify 150+
craft techniques across clothing, home textiles, jewellery, and accessories.
Many started with no prior formal work experience. Today they manage
departments.

Founded in Gwalior, scaled from Gwalior

iTokri was founded in 2010 by Nitin and Jia
Pamnani. The decision to build operations in Gwalior, rather than relocating to
a metro city, was deliberate. It allowed the company to hire locally and build
a team that has stayed and grown with the company.

&quot;We didn&#039;t set out to build a
women-led team. We hired the best people who showed up, trained hard, and
stayed. That turned out to be almost entirely women from this city,&quot; said
Nitin Pamnani, co-founder, iTokri.com. &quot;Some of them started sorting
packages. Now they run departments. They know more about Indian textiles than
most people in the industry, because they handle thousands of products every
month.&quot;

About iTokri

iTokri.com is India&#039;s largest curated
direct-to-consumer platform for authentic
handmade textiles and handicrafts. Founded in 2010, the platform works with
10,000+ artisan partners across 500+ craft clusters, offering over 100,000
products that span clothing, accessories, home textiles, and decor. iTokri
ships across India and to 30+ countries. Headquarters: Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh.

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sugee-celebrates-completion-of-sugee-marina-bay-with-an-evening-of-gratitude</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai, 23rd June, 2026 : Sugee Group hosted an intimate celebration at the Jio
World Convention Centre, Mumbai, over the weekend of June 2026 to
mark the completion of Sugee Marina Bay, one of their landmark
luxury residential developments, bringing together homeowners, partners,
consultants, financiers, and project teams who played a pivotal role in
transforming a shared vision into reality.

It was more than just a residential
development. The occasion celebrated a journey defined by trust, collaboration,
and unwavering commitment. The event served as a heartfelt expression of
gratitude to the many individuals and organizations whose contributions helped
shape Sugee Marina Bay from concept to completion.

The evening commenced with a mesmerizing
performance by celebrated sitarist Shivang Mishra, setting an
elegant and reflective tone for the celebrations. The acclaimed actor,
television presenter, and author Mandira Bedi was the host for the
evening, for whom the evening carried a special sense of coming full circle,
having also hosted the launch event of Sugee Marina Bay in February 2021.

The showstopper of the evening was a
captivating live performance by renowned singer Padma Shri Sonu Nigam,
whose soulful repertoire created memorable moments for guests and elevated the
celebratory atmosphere.

Among the key moments of the evening was
the unveiling of three BMW i7 cars, a token of gratitude and a mark
of the emotional connection from the construction &amp; execution team at
Sugee. These BMW I7s will be available exclusively for use by the residents of
Sugee Marina Bay. It underscored Sugee&#039;s focus on creating a truly elevated
residential experience, combining luxury living with thoughtfully designed
conveniences for homeowners. 

Speaking on the occasion, Nishant
Deshmukh, Founder and Managing Director, Sugee Group, said, &quot;The
completion of Sugee Marina Bay is a deeply emotional and proud moment for all
of us at Sugee. Every project begins with a vision, but it is the trust of our
homeowners, the commitment of our partners, consultants, contractors, and the
perseverance of our team that transforms that vision into reality. Today, as we
celebrate this milestone, we are not simply handing over homes—we are
celebrating a community and relationships built over the years. Sugee Marina
Bay represents our unwavering commitment to quality, thoughtful design, and
creating exceptional living experiences for our residents.&quot; 

At the heart of the celebration were the
homeowners who placed their faith in the project from its earliest stages.
Their confidence and trust formed the foundation upon which the development was
built and remain among the most valued aspects of the project&#039;s success.

The evening brought together a diverse
community of stakeholders, including homeowners and their families, architects
and consultants who helped shape the vision, construction teams who brought it
to life, bankers and investors who supported the journey, and the facility
management professionals who will now steward the community into its next
chapter.

As homeowners prepare to begin a new
chapter and the community comes to life, this much-awarded iconic development
of Mumbai, Sugee Marina Bay, stands as a lasting symbol of partnership, trust,
and collective achievement—marking not an end, but the beginning of a vibrant
new future for all those connected to it.

About Sugee Group:

Established in 1986, the journey of Sugee
Group spans over four decades, evolving into one of Mumbai&#039;s fastest-growing
real estate groups. With a presence in Mumbai, the UAE, and Portugal&#039;s most

<description><![CDATA[ The ‘Best New Brand’ honour in the
Consumer Choice category celebrates Kay Beauty’s effortless rise from a
homegrown success story to an emerging global beauty name

India, June 23 2026: Kay
Beauty, the beauty brand co-founded by Actor and Global Icon Katrina Kaif and
Nykaa, India’s leading beauty and lifestyle company, has been recognized with a
prestigious honour at the CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women) UK Beauty Awards
2026. The recognition marks a significant milestone in Katrina Kaif’s core
vision of building a globally relevant beauty brand rooted in inclusivity and a
deep understanding of diverse beauty needs across the South Asian community. 

The brand was awarded ‘Best New Brand’ in the Consumer
Choice Awards category, held in partnership with Superdrug. CEW is a
professional organization that promotes the British beauty industry, driving
its dynamic growth in the global beauty economy. Founded in 1954, CEW connects
all corners of the beauty industry via its members worldwide. The CEW Beauty
Awards were launched in 2006 to recognize outstanding product innovation and
creativity. Voted for by over 1,000 CEW members in the UK, including industry
professionals and experts in the field of beauty, as well as consumers’ votes,
the CEW Beauty Awards are recognized as one of the most coveted awards in the
industry. 

When Kay Beauty launched with Space NK last year, it
marked a significant moment in the brand&#039;s international growth journey and
Katrina&#039;s vision of taking an India-born beauty brand to a global audience.
With its highly discerning beauty consumer and vibrant South Asian community,
the UK represented an important market for its global expansion. As the first
Indian-founded beauty brand to retail with Space NK, the launch signalled the
increasing demand for South Asian representation on a global stage. Less than a
year later, this recognition reflects the warm reception Kay Beauty has
received from UK consumers.

Since its launch in 2019, Kay Beauty has championed
high-performance beauty infused with skin-loving ingredients and thoughtfully
developed for diverse skin tones, including the needs of South Asian consumers.
The brand&#039;s UK launch with Space NK introduced this approach to a new audience
and has since been met with strong consumer and industry response, culminating
in this latest recognition.

Katrina Kaif, Co-Founder, Kay Beauty said, “When we created Kay Beauty, our vision was to
build a brand that truly understood and celebrated diverse beauty while
delivering products that perform without compromise. From the very beginning,
we wanted to create beauty solutions that were rooted in a deep understanding
of South Asian beauty needs, while being relevant to a global audience. To
receive recognition from both consumers and beauty industry insiders in the UK
within such a short time of launching there is incredibly special. It’s
especially meaningful because it reflects not just the strength of our
products, but the connection we’ve built with our community over the years.
Seeing Kay Beauty resonate with consumers beyond India is a proud moment for
all of us, and we’re grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey.
The CEW UK Beauty Award for the ‘Best New Brand’ inspires us to continue
creating innovative, high-performance beauty that is inclusive, thoughtful and
made with care.”

Adwaita Nayar, Co-Founder &amp; Executive Director of Nykaa
and CEO, House of Nykaa, said “Kay Beauty&#039;s journey has
always been rooted in the love and trust of its consumers. To receive the CEW
UK Consumer Choice Award for Best New Brand, less than a year after our UK
debut, is a remarkable milestone for the brand. As we continue to take Kay
Beauty to new audiences around the world, it is incredibly rewarding to see
consumers in the UK embrace the brand and everything it stands for. This
recognition belongs to every consumer who has been a part of our journey and
believed in our vision from the very beginning.”

The award marks an exciting milestone in Kay Beauty&#039;s
international growth journey and reinforces the brand&#039;s ambition of taking
Katrina Kaif&#039;s vision for inclusive, high-performance beauty to consumers
around the world.

Space NK offline stores and on spacenk.com, and on the Nykaa app, nykaa.com,
and at Nykaa retail stores across India.

<title>Bengaluru Startup gOGig Introduces AI&#45;Powered Verification and Real&#45;Time Visibility for India&amp;apos;s Offline Marketing Ecosystem</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/bengaluru-startup-gogig-introduces-ai-powered-verification-and-real-time-visibility-for-indias-offline-marketing-ecosystem</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/bengaluru-startup-gogig-introduces-ai-powered-verification-and-real-time-visibility-for-indias-offline-marketing-ecosystem</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Bengaluru-based field execution
intelligence startup gOGig has unveiled a technology platform aimed at
improving transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency across
India&#039;s offline marketing landscape. The platform enables brands, agencies, and
campaign managers to monitor field activities in real time and access
verifiable proof of execution for outdoor advertising, below-the-line (BTL)
activations, retail branding initiatives, merchandising programs, surveys,
audits, and other on-ground marketing campaigns.

Despite rapid digital transformation across
the advertising and marketing industry, a significant portion of offline
campaign execution continues to rely on manual reporting, delayed updates,
fragmented communication channels, and limited visibility into field-level
operations. This can make it challenging for brands and agencies to
independently verify campaign deployment, monitor progress across multiple
locations, and measure execution quality at scale.

gOGig&#039;s platform seeks to address these
challenges through a combination of GPS-enabled tracking, geo-tagged images,
timestamped reporting, centralized dashboards, automated workflows, and
AI-assisted verification tools. According to the company, the system allows
stakeholders to track campaign progress as it happens, review execution data
from multiple locations, and access digital records that can help strengthen
compliance, reporting accuracy, and operational oversight.

The launch comes at a time when India&#039;s
advertising industry continues to expand across both digital and traditional
channels. Industry estimates cited by organizations such as MAGNA and the India
Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) project India&#039;s advertising market to exceed
₹1.3 lakh crore, with traditional media and offline advertising formats
continuing to account for a substantial share of total advertising expenditure.
Outdoor advertising, retail promotions, experiential marketing, and field
activation programs remain important components of brand-building strategies
across sectors including consumer goods, retail, automotive, telecommunications,
financial services, healthcare, education, and e-commerce.

“Digital marketing didn&#039;t win because it
was online it won because it was measurable. We at gOGig are bringing that same
principle to offline advertising, making OOH transparent, verifiable, and
data-driven. We are the Google Analytics of offline marketing, giving brands
real-time visibility into campaign execution and the confidence to invest in
traditional media with measurable outcomes.&quot;

- Founded by Deepak Bansal, Devjit
Neogi, and Devleena Neogi, gOGig (Aivorae Technologies Pvt. Ltd.)

As brands increase investments in physical
consumer engagement, there is growing demand for technologies that provide
greater visibility into campaign execution and measurable outcomes. Industry stakeholders
have increasingly emphasized the need for real-time reporting, standardized
verification mechanisms, and data-driven decision-making to complement
traditional field operations.

According to gOGig, its platform is
designed to support a wide range of offline marketing and field execution use
cases. These include outdoor advertising deployments, in-store branding
initiatives, merchandising audits, market surveys, retail compliance checks,
promoter management programs, product sampling campaigns, event activations,
and franchise or distribution network monitoring. By consolidating field data
into a centralized system, organizations can gain a more comprehensive view of
campaign performance across geographies and operational teams.

The company states that AI-assisted
capabilities built into the platform can help identify duplicate submissions,
flag anomalies in reporting, and improve the accuracy of campaign
documentation. Combined with geo-verification and timestamped records, these
capabilities are intended to strengthen confidence in field reports and reduce
reliance on manual validation processes.

One of the key objectives of the platform
is to create a digital audit trail for field activities. Such records can help
brands and agencies demonstrate campaign execution, evaluate operational
efficiency, and support internal governance requirements. In large-scale
campaigns that span multiple cities and vendors, centralized visibility may
also contribute to faster decision-making and more effective resource
allocation.

The increasing adoption of technology in
offline marketing reflects a broader trend toward data-driven management of
physical operations. While digital advertising platforms have long provided
real-time analytics and performance measurement, many offline marketing
activities have historically lacked comparable levels of visibility. Technology
providers are now working to bridge that gap by introducing tools that enable
more structured monitoring and reporting of on-ground execution.

gOGig positions itself within this evolving
ecosystem by focusing on field execution intelligence and verification. The
company believes that as marketing teams seek greater operational transparency
and accountability, the use of real-time monitoring, automated reporting, and
AI-enabled verification will become increasingly important components of
offline campaign management.

With brands placing greater emphasis on
measurable outcomes, operational efficiency, and governance standards,
platforms that combine field intelligence with digital verification
capabilities are expected to play an increasingly significant role in the
future of offline marketing and on-ground campaign execution in India. ]]></description>

its launch in 1898, GS Tea has built a strong legacy rooted in authentic taste,
quality, and the warmth of everyday moments. This collaboration with Sai

come alive through an integrated campaign, including a new TVC that captures
the essence of genuine taste and individuality. The campaign aims to deepen GS
Tea’s bond with its audience by highlighting how every cup reflects not just
flavour, but also personal style and emotion.

Speaking on the
association, Sai Tamhankar said:

“I’ve always believed
that the simplest things, when they’re real, create the strongest connections,
and chai is one of them. ‘Asli Swaad, Asli Andaaz’ goes beyond just tea. It
celebrates being real, and that’s what I connect with the most.”

connection that goes beyond business. With Sai, we are confident of taking our
message of ‘Asli Swaad, Asli Andaaz’ to a wider and more connected
audience.&quot;

Echoing this sentiment,
Rajesh Shah, Managing Director of GS Group, said:

&quot;GS Tea has always
stood for uncompromised quality and a taste that feels like home. With Sai on
board, we are strengthening our commitment to staying true to our roots while
evolving with the times. Her strong connection with the audience will help us
reinforce the emotional bond people share with their everyday cup of
chai.&quot;

Adding to this,
Ravikant Banka, Founder &amp; Managing Director of Eggfirst Advertising, said:

“‘Asli Swaad, Asli Andaaz’ is more than a
campaign thought; it’s a reflection of how people connect with tea in their
everyday lives. Sai brought an effortless honesty and warmth to the
communication, making her the perfect face for the brand. Our focus was to
create something rooted, relatable, and emotionally memorable for consumers
across generations.” 

This
campaign, crafted by Eggfirst Advertising, aims to continue building the
brand’s legacy while embracing a contemporary voice, one that reflects the
evolving preferences of its consumers without losing sight of what makes its
taste truly authentic. Eggfirst, with decades of experience in building brands
for the Indian heart, understood the assignment well.

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, 23 June
2026 : On the occasion of International Yoga Day, SR
Capital Senior Secondary School, Delhi, organised a yoga programme in the
school premises. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from students
and teachers, who came together to practise various yoga asanas, pranayama, and
meditation.

The programme aimed to
spread awareness about the importance of yoga in daily life and its role in
promoting physical fitness, mental balance, concentration, discipline, and
overall well-being. Students were encouraged to adopt yoga as a regular
practice to lead a healthy, stress-free, energetic, and positive life.

Addressing the
participants, the Manager of the school, Mrs. S. K. Yadav, said that yoga is
India’s priceless cultural heritage, which has now been embraced by the entire
world. She emphasised that yoga is not merely a physical exercise, but a
holistic way of life that helps in the all-round development of students. She
further stated that S. R. Capital Senior Secondary School gives equal
importance to education, health, values, and life skills.

The school stands as a
model institution for innovative educational practices and is affiliated with
the Bhartiya Shiksha Board. The Board is a frontrunner in implementing the
National Education Policy 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework 2023,
which provide innovative and transformative guidelines for bringing meaningful
change in the education system of our country.

The event reflected the
school’s commitment to nurturing students not only academically, but also physically,
mentally, culturally, and morally. The active involvement of teachers and
students made the programme meaningful and inspiring.

At the end of the
programme, all students and teachers took a pledge to practise yoga regularly
and to promote a healthy and balanced lifestyle. ]]></description>

<title>TAEKWONDO MASTER SHREEPADA R. RAO SECURES LANDMARK IT APPELLATE TRIBUNAL VICTORY FOR YAKSHIT YUVA FOUNDATION AND SPORTS EDUCATION IN INDIA</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/taekwondo-master-shreepada-r-rao-secures-landmark-it-appellate-tribunal-victory-for-yakshit-yuva-foundation-and-sports-education-in-india</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Without Formal Training
in Law or Taxation, Taekwondo Master Shreepada Ravi Rao Personally Researched,
Prepared and Argued a Case That has Influenced the Future of Sports Education
and Grassroots Sports Organisations Across India

Belagavi/Panaji, March
2026 : When Taekwondo Master
Shreepada R. Rao appeared before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal on behalf of
Yakshit Yuva Foundation, few could have imagined that the proceedings would
result in a significant judicial ruling with implications extending far beyond
a single charitable organisation.

The decision, delivered
by the Panaji Bench of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal
(ITAT), directed the grant of registration under Sections 12AB and 80G of the
Income-tax Act to Yakshit Yuva Foundation. More importantly, the ruling
recognised that organised SPORTS TRAINING does constitute
&quot;education&quot;  and charitable
activity under Indian law.

For India&#039;s sports
ecosystem, grassroots sports organisations, martial arts institutions and
sports education programmes, the judgment has become an important reference
point.

Yet what makes the case
truly remarkable is not only the outcome, but the individual behind it.

Unlike most tax appals,
which are argued by Advocates, Chartered Accountants or specialised tax
practitioners, this case was personally researched, prepared and argued by
Taekwondo Master Shreepada R. Rao, Founder and Chairman of the Board of
Trustees of Yakshit Yuva Foundation.

A sports administrator,
governance consultant and research scholar in Sports Management and Governance,
Taekwondo Master Rao had no formal professional background in law, taxation,
accountancy or courtroom litigation. Nevertheless, he undertook the challenge
of studying the relevant legal provisions, judicial precedents and policy
frameworks after the Foundation&#039;s renwal applications were rejected by the
Income Tax Department.

What followed was an
extraordinary journey from the dojang to the Tribunal.

FROM SPORTS
ADMINISTRATION TO LEGAL RESEARCH

The rejection of
Yakshit Yuva Foundation&#039;s renewal applications presented a challenge that many
grassroots sports organisations face across the country.

The Department deemed
that the activities such as Taekwondo training, self-defence education and
sports development does not qualify as charitable activity under the Income-tax
Act.

For many organisations,
such a setback marks the end of the matter.

For Taekwondo Master
Shreepada R. Rao, however, it became the beginning of a much larger question.

Why cant organised
sports training be recognised as education under Indian law?

The answer was not
merely important for Yakshit Yuva Foundation. It carried implications for
thousands of sports academies, martial arts institutions, self-defence
programmes, athlete development initiatives and community sports organisations
throughout India.

Determined to pursue
the issue, Taekwondo Master Rao immersed himself in legal research despite
having no formal legal training.

He studied judicial
precedents, analysed statutory provisions and examined how courts had
interpreted education within the charitable framework.

Over time, he developed
a legal argument that connected sports education with long-established
principles recognised by Indian courts.

BUILDING THE LEGAL
FRAMEWORK FOR SPORTS EDUCATION

At the heart of the
appeal was a simple but powerful proposition.

Education is not
confined to classrooms, textbooks and examinations.

Organised sports
training teaches discipline, develops skills, builds character, improves
decision-making, strengthens leadership qualities and promotes self-confidence.

Taekwondo Master Rao
argued that these outcomes fall squarely within the broader understanding of
education recognised by Indian jurisprudence.

Drawing upon
established judicial principles, he contended that structured Taekwondo
training is a process of teaching and learning that contributes to the
development of knowledge, skill, mind and character.

The Tribunal carefully
examined these submissions.

In a significant
finding, it accepted the position that systematic sports training aimed at
developing knowledge, skill, mind and character falls within the scope of
education for the purposes of charitable registration under the Income-tax Act.

For many observers,
this aspect of the judgment represents its most important contribution to
Indian sports and charitable jurisprudence.

CONNECTING SPORTS WITH
MODERN EDUCATIONAL POLICY

Another distinctive
feature of the case was its connection to contemporary educational thinking.

Taekwondo Master Rao
highlighted the growing recognition of sports as an important component of
holistic education and personal development.

The proceedings drew
attention to the broader vision reflected in the National Education Policy 2020,
which emphasises experiential learning, life skills, character development and
well-rounded education.

The Tribunal recorded
that the objectives of Yakshit Yuva Foundation were consistent with these
principles.

By doing so, the ruling
reinforced the idea that &quot;sport is not merely a recreational activity but
a meaningful educational tool capable of shaping young lives&quot; .

RECOGNITION OF
TAEKWONDO AND SPORTS DEVELOPMENT

The appeal also
addressed the importance of promoting recognised sports.

Taekwondo Master Rao
argued that activities undertaken for the development and promotion of
Taekwondo should be viewed in light of the sport&#039;s recognised status within the
applicable legal framework.

The Tribunal examined
the relevant provisions and accepted that promotion of such recognised sporting
activities possesses charitable characteristics.

This finding
strengthened the Foundation&#039;s case while also recognising the wider social
value of organised sports development.

EVIDENCE OF IMPACT
BEYOND TRAINING HALL.

The success of the
appeal was not based solely upon legal arguments.

The Tribunal reviewed
extensive evidence relating to the activities of Yakshit Yuva Foundation across
Karnataka and Maharashtra.

Among the programmes
examined was the Foundation&#039;s &quot;Kick &amp; Shout&quot; initiative, through
which the underprivileged girls received self-defence training through over 72
workshops.

The Foundation also
conducted sports education programmes, awareness initiatives and community
outreach activities that reached thousands of students.

These efforts
demonstrated that the organisation&#039;s work extended beyond competitive sport and
encompassed youth development, self-defence education, community empowerment
and social welfare.

A RARE EXAMPLE of
SELF-REPRESENTATION

Perhaps the most extraordinary
aspect of the case is that the legal framework accepted by the Tribunal was
completely drafted, developed and presented by Taekwondo Master Shreepada R.
Rao himself.

The Tribunal records
him as the Authorised Representative of the appellant organisation.

In specialised tax
litigation, such appearances are typically undertaken by trained legal or tax
professionals.

Taekwondo Master Rao&#039;s
achievement therefore extends beyond securing registration for Yakshit Yuva
Foundation.

Without formal training
in law, taxation or litigation, he successfully navigated a complex appellate
process, researched judicial precedents, formulated legal arguments and secured
a ruling that influences future treatment of sports education under Indian
charitable law.

It is this unusual
combination of sports leadership, self-learning, public policy understanding
and legal reasoning that makes the case exceptional.

A Victory Beyond
Yakshit Yuva Foundation

While the immediate
beneficiary of the judgment is Yakshit Yuva Foundation, its implications are
much wider.

Across India, numerous
sports academies, martial arts institutions, grassroots sports programmes,
self-defence initiatives and charitable sports organisations often face
questions concerning their legal status and eligibility for charitable
recognition.

The Tribunal&#039;s
reasoning provides important support for the proposition that organised sports
education serves a genuine educational and public purpose.

For the grassroots
sports ecosystem, the decision represents a significant step towards greater
recognition of sport as a vehicle for education, character-building, youth
development and social advancement.

FROM THE DOJANG TO A
LANDMARK PRECEDENT

For Yakshit Yuva Foundation,
the ruling represents validation of years of work dedicated to sports
education, model sports governance policies and community development.

For India&#039;s sports
sector, it strengthens the status of an organised sport obtaining recognition
as a legitimate educational activity capable of creating lasting social impact.

For Taekwondo Master
Shreepada R. Rao, however, the judgment stands as something even more
distinctive.

It is the story of a
sports administrator and martial arts instructor who entered a field far
removed from his professional background, taught himself the fundamentals
necessary to challenge an adverse legal decision, and ultimately helped shape a
significant judicial precedent affecting thousands of sports organisations
across the country.

The significance of the
case therefore lies not only in the registrations granted to a single
organisation, but also in the remarkable journey of Taekwondo Master Shreepada
R. Rao, whose determination transformed a simple tax dispute into a wider
recognition of sports education within India&#039;s National charitable and
educational framework.

From the dojang to the
Tribunal, it is a journey that demonstrates how conviction, research and
perseverance can sometimes create change far beyond the boundaries of sport
itself. ]]></description>

<title>Business Round&#45;Up: How Emerging Indian Brands Are Creating New Opportunities Across Industries</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/business-round-up-how-emerging-indian-brands-are-creating-new-opportunities-across-industries</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/business-round-up-how-emerging-indian-brands-are-creating-new-opportunities-across-industries</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ From destination-led real estate and experiential hospitality to
scalable food brands, wellness innovation, and consumer lifestyle products, a
new generation of Indian businesses is reshaping traditional industries through
differentiated offerings, stronger consumer insights, and category-first
thinking. This week&#039;s round-up highlights brands that are building momentum by
addressing evolving consumer preferences across sectors.

Trusmile Labs Is Reimagining Oral Care Through Purpose-Built Daily
Routines

 

Consumers are becoming more aware of what goes into their everyday
care products, creating space for brands that combine science, routine design,
and clear formulation logic. Trusmile Labs is responding to this shift with
what it describes as India’s first smart AM/PM oral care system.

 

The brand has introduced separate formulations tailored for morning
and nighttime oral care needs. Morning Energy wakes up your smile with
long-lasting freshness and fluoride-based enamel support, while Night Recovery
is designed for gentle nighttime brushing and recovery-focused care, powered by
probiotics and xylitol.

 

By encouraging consumers to view oral care as a structured daily
wellness routine rather than a one-size-fits-all habit, Trusmile Labs is
helping shape a new conversation within preventive oral health.

 

Dosa Is Taking Over India’s Food Scene, and NGPL Is Quietly Building
the Tech Behind the Country&#039;s Biggest Culinary Brands

 

For three consecutive years, data from food delivery giants Swiggy and
Zomato has confirmed an undeniable shift: the humble dosa has transcended its
breakfast roots to become one of India’s most ordered all-day dishes. As South
Indian cuisine takes absolute control of the national food scene, a silent
operational revolution is happening back-of-house. Bengaluru-based Novartous
Global Private Limited (NGPL) has emerged as the foundational force driving
this scale, quietly engineering the back-end culinary solutions that power the
country&#039;s largest food brands and commercial kitchens.

 

The traditional method of commercial batter preparation is, at its
core, an unpredictable gamble. Kitchens across the country still rely on a
fragile sequence of overnight soaking, manual morning grinding, and volatile
atmospheric fermentation. It is a workflow where a single spike in ambient
temperature or the absence of a lone, skilled batter-maker can cause an entire
menu to collapse before the lunch rush even begins. For major corporations and
rapidly expanding food chains managing tight margins, this lack of
predictability represents a significant operational vulnerability.

 

Recognizing this systemic bottleneck, NGPL has engineered a solution
specifically designed to transition the hospitality industry away from manual
dependency through a revolutionary powder format. By utilizing proprietary
dry-milling technology, they have created a commercial-grade premix where
kitchen staff simply need to add water for the batter to be instantly ready.
This breakthrough completely eliminates the cumbersome, messy, and labor-intensive
process of traditional grinding, while also solving the heavy inventory
wastages typically associated with short-shelf-life frozen batters.

 

Unlike consumer retail products simply repackaged in bulk, this
HoReCa-grade formulation was built from the ground up for the rigors of
high-volume commercial environments, ensuring uniform texture and reliable
fermentation behavior. For restaurant operators, cloud kitchen networks, and
hospitality groups, this shift in food technology addresses long-standing
operational headaches. By integrating this standardized powder, kitchens can
completely eliminate overnight preparation times and remove their reliance on
specialized labor. The day-to-day variables that typically alter food quality
are neutralized, ensuring that regional specialties like Benne Dosa, Thatte
Idli, and Crispy Vada taste identical across different cooking shifts and
changing staff.

 

Ultimately, the true value of this culinary evolution lies in its
capacity for seamless scalability. Whether a company is operating a single
neighborhood outlet or expanding a franchise across fifty cities, the
engineered batter performs consistently across the board. As India&#039;s top food
brands face rising input costs and fierce competition, NGPL provides the hidden
infrastructure that makes national expansion possible.

culinary solutions can be found at novartousglobal.com 

Adorable Bliss Is Democratizing Premium Fragrance Experiences For
Indian Women

 

As India&#039;s beauty and personal care market continues to evolve,
fragrance is emerging as a key category driven by self-expression and
affordable luxury. Adorable Bliss is tapping into this opportunity with a
portfolio of long-lasting Eau De Parfum fragrances created exclusively for
women.

 

Founded by Akanksha Pandey, the brand focuses on delivering premium
scents that combine sophistication, confidence, and everyday wearability
without the premium price tag. Available across leading marketplaces including
Amazon, Myntra, Flipkart, and Blinkit, Adorable Bliss is steadily building a
loyal consumer base among women seeking accessible luxury and quality fragrance
experiences.

 

RollsKing Is Scaling India&#039;s
Fast-Growing QSE and Convenient Forward Economy

 

As urban lifestyles become increasingly fast-paced, convenience-led
food formats are witnessing significant growth across India. Homegrown QSR
chain RollsKing is emerging as a defining force in this shift, anchored by the
Kathi Roll — one of India’s most beloved and timeless street-food staples.
Rooted in centuries of culinary culture, the Kathi Roll is the original one-hand
meal: portable, filling, flavour-packed, and suited to any hour of the day — a
quick breakfast on the commute, a power lunch, a post-gym refuel, or a
late-night bite. RollsKing has built its entire brand around this “A Complete
Meal-in-1” truth, operating across a dual-format model of high-footfall QSR
outlets and agile cloud kitchens designed to capture hyperlocal delivery
demand. Its innovation pipeline — including Khameri Wraps, Crispy Shawarmas,
and Tandoori Tacos - extends the wrap-format playbook while speaking to India’s
evolving, experience-driven palate. In a market crowded with Western format
imports, RollsKing stands apart as a homegrown brand built on authentic Indian
food culture, engineered for the speed of modern urban life. Treading over 3.5L
orders a month, RollsKing proves that anytime meals are something that are here
to stay with the new lifestyle of the Nation.


Taste Of Sikkim Is
Bringing Authentic Himalayan Culinary Culture To Urban India

As regional cuisines continue gaining popularity among Indian diners,
Taste Of Sikkim is helping introduce authentic Himalayan food traditions to a
wider audience through immersive dining experiences.

With outlets in Noida and Gurgaon, the brand has built its identity
around preserving and showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Sikkim and the
Northeast. Beyond serving traditional dishes, Taste Of Sikkim focuses on
creating cultural experiences that allow guests to explore lesser-known
Himalayan flavours, ingredients, and hospitality traditions, helping bridge
regional food cultures with mainstream urban dining.

 

Rolling Fresh Continues To Expand
In India&#039;s Delivery-First Comfort Food Market

Consumer demand for convenient, flavour-forward meals continues to
fuel growth within India&#039;s cloud kitchen ecosystem. Rolling Fresh is
strengthening its footprint across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and NCR through a
delivery-first model centred around comfort food favourites.

Offering an extensive menu of rolls, momos, sliders, beverages, and
quick-service snacks, the brand caters to younger consumers looking for
affordable indulgence and variety. By combining operational efficiency with
menu innovation, Rolling Fresh is positioning itself within one of the
country&#039;s fastest-growing food delivery segments.

 

Glued Supercharged Is Capitalising On The Growing Demand For
Experience-Led Entertainment

 

As consumers increasingly prioritise experiences over traditional
leisure spending, destination entertainment centres are emerging as a
fast-growing category across urban India. Glued Supercharged is tapping into
this shift through its large-format entertainment venue in Noida, designed to
bring gaming, celebrations, dining, and social experiences together under one
roof.

 

Spread across 32,500 sq. ft., the destination features seven dedicated
Super Zones and over 100 games and experiences catering to families, children,
young adults, and corporate groups. Beyond gaming, the venue has become a
popular choice for birthday celebrations, family outings, team-building activities,
and corporate events, reflecting the growing demand for multi-experience
entertainment destinations.

 

As experiential spending continues to gain momentum among urban
consumers, integrated entertainment hubs such as Glued Supercharged are
benefiting from the increasing preference for social, immersive, and
activity-driven experiences that bring people together beyond conventional
dining and movie outings. 

 

Closing Note

Across sectors ranging from food, wellness, and beauty to hospitality,
entertainment, and real estate, these emerging brands are demonstrating how
category innovation, consumer-centric thinking, and experience-led offerings
are creating fresh growth opportunities in India&#039;s evolving business landscape.
As consumer expectations continue to shift, businesses that successfully blend
convenience, authenticity, lifestyle, and innovation are likely to define the
next phase of growth across industries.

<title>How Vimal Wellness Is Democratising Premium Olive Oil for India</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-vimal-wellness-is-democratising-premium-olive-oil-for-india</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-vimal-wellness-is-democratising-premium-olive-oil-for-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ June 22, 2026 : For
decades, olive oil in India occupied a peculiar position. It was aspirational,
recommended by nutritionists, stocked by modern trade retailers, and admired by
health-conscious consumers. Yet for most Indian households, it remained a niche
purchase rather than a kitchen staple.

The challenge was never
awareness.

The challenge was
accessibility.

Premium imported olive
oils often carried the perception of being products reserved for affluent urban
consumers. High price points, limited availability, and a positioning rooted in
exclusivity kept the category from reaching the broader Indian market.

Vimal Wellness believes
that equation can be rewritten. As part of its broader wellness portfolio,
Vimal Wellness offers a range of Cold-pressed and Gourmet oils designed for
consumers who are increasingly looking for healthier, cleaner, and more
conscious choices in their everyday cooking. Its Extra Virgin Olive Oil sits
within this larger vision: to make premium-quality wellness products more
accessible to Indian households without making them feel out of reach.

Vimal Wellness Extra
Virgin Olive Oil represents a larger shift underway in India&#039;s
food and wellness landscape: the movement of premium nutrition from luxury
shelves to everyday consumption.

The Rise of Conscious
Consumption

India&#039;s wellness
economy has evolved dramatically over the last decade.

Consumers today are
reading labels, comparing ingredients, questioning processing methods, and
actively seeking products that align with long-term health goals. The modern
Indian shopper is no longer purchasing solely on price. Value, transparency,
nutrition, and trust have become equally important considerations.

This shift has created
a new category of demand.

Consumers want premium
products, but they do not want premium products that feel inaccessible.

They want better
ingredients without unnecessary complexity. They want healthier alternatives
without compromising convenience. Most importantly, they want brands that
respect both their aspirations and their budgets.

Vimal Wellness has
positioned its Extra Virgin Olive Oil precisely at this intersection.

Premium Without
Pretension

What makes a product
premium?

Traditionally,
companies have answered that question through scarcity, exclusivity, and
elevated pricing.

The emerging generation
of Indian consumers sees it differently.

Today, premium is
increasingly defined by quality of sourcing, purity of ingredients, nutritional
integrity, and trust in the brand.

For years, the olive
oil category in India carried a pricing perception problem. Several brands
positioned extra virgin olive oil at significantly higher price points,
creating the belief that quality olive oil had to be expensive. Vimal Wellness
is challenging that mindset. The brand’s approach is simple: deliver the same
premium quality consumers expect from extra virgin olive oil, but at a price
point that makes everyday adoption possible.

Made from carefully
selected Spanish Arbequina and Hojiblanca olives, Vimal Wellness Extra Virgin
Olive Oil combines global sourcing standards with a commitment to everyday
wellness. Naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats, it
reflects the brand&#039;s vision of bringing premium-quality nutrition to Indian
households at an accessible price point.

The objective is not to
create a product consumers admire from a distance. The objective is to create a
product consumers incorporate into their daily routines.

In many ways, this
represents the future of premiumisation in India: not making products more exclusive,
but making quality more inclusive.



From General Trade to
Quick Commerce

One of the strongest
advantages behind Vimal Wellness is the trust and credibility built by Vimal
Oils over the last three decades. Headquartered in Gujarat, a state known for
its deep-rooted food and edible oil culture. Vimal Oils has emerged as one of
the leading names in India&#039;s edible oils category, with a diverse portfolio
that has made it a familiar presence in Indian households.

Over the years, the
company has built a strong presence across Gujarat and several key markets
through its edible oil portfolio, earning consumer trust through a consistent
focus on quality, nutrition retention, and value. This long-standing expertise
in the oils category has enabled Vimal Oils to understand evolving consumer
preferences and adapt to changing lifestyles.

The launch of Vimal
Wellness is a natural extension of this journey. As Indian consumers
increasingly seek healthier and more conscious food choices, the brand is
leveraging its category expertise to bring premium wellness products to a wider
audience.

Health-conscious
consumers no longer plan wellness purchases weeks in advance. They discover
products online, compare options instantly, and expect delivery within minutes.
The gap between awareness and purchase has never been smaller.

Vimal Wellness
recognized this shift early and built a strong omnichannel presence spanning
traditional retail, modern trade channels, direct-to-consumer channels, and
leading quick commerce platforms. By ensuring availability across Blinkit,
Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart, alongside its wider retail network, the brand has
positioned itself wherever today&#039;s consumers choose to shop, whether through a
neighborhood store or a smartphone screen.

This strategy is
particularly relevant for olive oil.

A consumer researching
healthier cooking alternatives today can move from discovery to purchase in the
same browsing session. Availability becomes a competitive advantage.

In the quick commerce
era, shelf space has become screen space.

Brands that are present
at the moment of intent are the brands that win.

Building a Category,
Not Just a Product

The most successful
consumer brands rarely focus solely on market share.

Instead, they focus on
category expansion.

India&#039;s olive oil
market remains significantly underpenetrated compared to many developed
economies. This creates an opportunity larger than simply competing with
existing players.

The opportunity lies in
converting first-time users.

Every household that
transitions from viewing olive oil as a specialty product to considering it a
regular part of their kitchen represents growth for the entire category.

This is where Vimal
Wellness&#039; positioning becomes strategically important.

By combining premium
sourcing with broader accessibility, the brand is helping reduce the
psychological barrier that often accompanies premium health products.

Consumers are not being
asked to adopt an elite lifestyle.

They are simply being
offered a better choice.

The Future of Wellness
Is Inclusive

Perhaps the most
important lesson from the Vimal Wellness story is that the future of premium
consumption in India may look very different from the past.

Historically, premium
brands created distance.

Tomorrow&#039;s premium
brands will create reach.

They will deliver
better ingredients, superior quality, and stronger health credentials while
remaining relevant to everyday consumers.

Vimal Wellness Extra
Virgin Olive Oil reflects that philosophy. It is a product rooted in premium
quality and global sourcing, yet designed for Indian kitchens, Indian cooking
habits, and Indian consumers.

In a market
increasingly defined by conscious consumption, convenience, and accessibility,
that may prove to be the most powerful premium strategy of all.

<title>Beyond Placements: Why Bengaluru&amp;apos;s New Business School Is Betting On Founders And Family Businesses</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-placements-why-bengalurus-new-business-school-is-betting-on-founders-and-family-businesses</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
22nd June, 2026 : With new programs for Future Founders and
Family Business Successors, Bengaluru-based EIMR Business School is rethinking
what business education can look like.

For
decades, business education in India has largely followed a familiar formula:
classrooms, case studies, examinations, and degrees. Yet as India&#039;s startup
ecosystem grows and family-run enterprises prepare their next generation of
leaders, a larger question is emerging: is traditional management education
evolving fast enough to keep pace with changing ambitions?

Few
cities reflect that shift better than Bengaluru.

Home
to one of India&#039;s largest startup ecosystems and a thriving community of
family-managed businesses, the city has become a hub for founders, innovators,
investors, and next-generation business leaders. It is within this environment
that EIMR Business School has launched its MBA for Future
Founders and MBA for Family Business Successors, two programs
designed around entrepreneurship, execution, mentorship, and real-world
business exposure.

The
institution&#039;s foundation comes from Educesta, an educational
organization founded in 2011 that has contributed to the learning journeys of
more than 4,000 MBA alumni while designing and delivering higher education
programs for leading universities across India. Over the years, that experience
revealed a recurring gap: while management education was producing graduates,
aspiring founders and family business successors needed greater exposure to
real-world decision-making, execution, and business-building.

That
insight ultimately led to the creation of EIMR.

Today,
the institution is coaching more than 700 students through
entrepreneurship-focused learning experiences and has built an ecosystem that
extends well beyond traditional academics. Early outcomes are already visible.
A student venture emerging from EIMR&#039;s undergraduate program has already
secured seed funding within the institution&#039;s first three years, highlighting
the institution&#039;s early focus on entrepreneurship and venture creation.

One
of EIMR&#039;s defining strengths is its emphasis on networks and exposure. Through
its Global Immersion Program, students gain first-hand exposure to
business ecosystems across France, Switzerland, and Germany, interacting with
innovation hubs, startups, global brands, and manufacturing leaders. The
objective is simple: broaden perspective by understanding how businesses are
built, operated, and scaled across international markets.

Another
pillar is Bold Moves, EIMR&#039;s weekly founder interaction platform that brings
entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders into direct conversations with
students. Speakers and mentors associated with EIMR engagements have included
Austin Prakesh, Founding Angel and Director of Strategy at Zerodha; Siddharth R
Dungarwal, Founder &amp; CEO, Snitch, Vivek Aithal, Alumni of Y-Combinator
&amp; Founder, MinusX and Dr. Govindraj Laxminarayan Dempo, among other
business leaders and founders.

For
aspiring entrepreneurs, EIMR has also introduced the Soonicorn Fund, a
student venture-support initiative connected to a larger ₹21 crore+ venture
ecosystem designed to help promising ideas access mentorship, incubation,
networks, and funding opportunities.

The
launch of these programs reflects two powerful shifts shaping India&#039;s business
landscape. The first is a growing number of young Indians who want to build
startups rather than simply join them. The second is the rise of
next-generation family business leaders seeking to modernise, scale, and
future-proof enterprises built over decades.

Student
founders Arvind and Diwakar, whose venture ‘Storyphy’ emerged from EIMR&#039;s
entrepreneurial ecosystem and later secured funding, represent that shift. As
the founders describe it, &quot;Storyphy began as an idea to make
AI-storytelling more accessible and meaningful. EIMR gave us the exposure,
mentorship, and confidence to take it beyond the classroom.&quot; Aryan,
another student entrepreneur, is currently building ‘CTRL’, a functional coffee
brand focused on enhancing focus and calm, with plans to serve corporate workplaces
across India.

Speaking
about the vision behind EIMR, founder Deepakk Kummar said:

&quot;India
is entering a defining decade. As initiatives like Startup India and the vision
of Viksit Bharat encourage innovation and value creation, education must evolve
alongside ambition. At EIMR, we believe entrepreneurship is not something that
can be learned only through theory, it must be experienced. Our goal is to help
students build the confidence, capability, and networks required to create
meaningful businesses and contribute to India&#039;s growth story.&quot;

For
Deepakk Kummar, EIMR is the culmination of a journey that began with Educesta,
where years of working closely with students, universities, entrepreneurs, and
business families shaped his vision for a business school centred around
entrepreneurship, innovation, and experiential learning.

At
a time when students are increasingly looking for more than just a degree, EIMR
is reimagining business education for a generation that wants to build
ventures, scale legacy businesses, create impact, and shape industries of their
own.

About
EIMR Business School

EIMR
(Educesta Institute of Management &amp; Research) is a Bengaluru-based business
school built for future founders, family business successors, and emerging
business leaders. Backed by the legacy of Educesta, an education organisation
founded in 2011 with over 4,000 MBA alumni, EIMR combines academic foundations
with entrepreneurship, industry exposure, global immersion, founder mentorship,
venture funding support, and real-world business challenges. With a mission to
create the next generation of business builders and innovators, EIMR is
reimagining management education through experiential learning and
entrepreneurial execution.

<description><![CDATA[  

Over 550 delegates, government leaders and industry
stalwarts unite around the vision — “One Fraternity, One Vision: Logistics
Driving India Towards Viksit Bharat”

Mumbai, 20 June 2026 : The Brihanmumbai Custom Brokers’ Association (BCBA), established in 1939, successfully hosted the second
edition of The India Logistics Conclave 2026 at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai,
drawing more than 550 delegates, invitees and guests from across the customs,
ports, shipping, trade and logistics ecosystem. Anchored in the theme “One
Fraternity, One Vision — Logistics Driving India Towards Viksit Bharat,” the
day-long Conclave brought senior government leadership and industry stalwarts
onto one platform to chart the road to a developed India by 2047.

The proceedings began at 09:45 a.m. with the ceremonial
inauguration of the CBIC Pavilion, followed by the Inaugural Session. In a
defining moment, Shri Vivek Chaturvedi, Chairman, Central Board of Indirect
Taxes &amp; Customs (CBIC), delivered the welcome address live online, sharing
the Board’s vision for a modern, trust-based and technology-led customs
administration — received by the fraternity as a source of great strength and
inspiration.

The inaugural dais featured an eminent gathering of
dignitaries. These included Shri Yogendra Garg, Member (Customs), CBIC; Shri
Anupam Prakash, Joint Secretary, Customs; Shri Sushil Mansing Khopde, IPS,
Additional Director General of Shipping; Shri Sunil Jain, IRS, Director General
of Valuation; Capt. BVJK Sharma, Chief Executive Officer, Navi Mumbai
International Airport; Capt. Deepak Tiwari, Managing Director, MSC India and
Chairman, CSLA; Shri Om Hisaria, Senior Executive Vice President, Reliance
Industries Limited; and Mr Mukesh Oza, Group President &amp; CEO, Samsara
Group. They were joined on the dais by BCBA President Mr Sanjeev Harale and
Senior Vice President Mr Paresh Thakkar.

“To see this fraternity stand shoulder to shoulder with the
highest offices of government and industry, under one roof and one vision, has
been deeply humbling,” said Mr Paresh Thakkar, Senior Vice President, BCBA.
“What we have built over two editions is not merely an event, but a platform
where the customs broker’s voice is heard, respected and woven into the
national agenda. That is the legacy we intend to carry forward.”



The intellectual heart of the Conclave lay in its four
business sessions, each a moderated plenary of national stature.

“Custom Brokers are now playing a nodal role in India’s EXIM
Logistics, they are quiet backbone of India’s trade, and forums like this one
finally give that contribution the recognition it deserves,” said Mr Dushyant
Mulani, Immediate Past President, BCBA. “Keeping National interest of being
Globally Competitive it is imperative that government and trade sit at the same
table as partners to conceptualise further trade facilitation measures to
ensure the entire ecosystem moves faster — and that partnership is the real
achievement of this Conclave.”

Session 3, “Geopolitics and the New Geometry of Trade,” was moderated by Mr Tej Contractor and featured Dr Pritam

reflected on conviction, reinvention and the logistician’s role in nation
building.

“This Conclave reaffirmed that the customs broker and
freight forwarder are not mere facilitators, but true partners in India’s
growth story,” said Mr Sanjeev Harale, President, BCBA. “The participation of
the highest echelons of government and industry, and the warmth of over 550
delegates, is a powerful testament to the strength of our fraternity and our
shared resolve to drive India towards Viksit Bharat.”

The Conclave was made possible by the generous support of
its partners. The BCBA extends profound gratitude to the Jawaharlal Nehru Port

<title>Best 10 Rugs and Carpet Brands in India for Luxury Homes &#45; The Ambiente</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The best rugs and
carpet brand in India is The Ambiente, offering unparalleled bespoke handmade rugs from Bhadohi. Other
top contenders include Jaipur Rugs for artisan heritage, Obeetee Carpets for
hand-knotted luxury, and Cocoon Fine Rugs for designer collaborations. Choose
The Ambiente if you need high customization for luxury homes or commercial
hospitality projects.

Finding the perfect
floor covering transforms an empty room into a curated living space. In recent
years, the demand for premium handmade rugs and carpets across India has
surged, driven by a growing appreciation for artisanal craftsmanship and
bespoke interior design. Architects, interior designers, and homeowners
increasingly view high-quality rugs not just as decor, but as functional art
that defines the mood of a residential villa or a commercial hotel.

Selecting the right carpet
brand requires careful consideration. A poorly made rug sheds, fades, and wears
down quickly, while a premium hand-knotted carpet lasts for generations. The
Indian market features dozens of manufacturers, but only a select few deliver
the quality, material sourcing, and design innovation required for luxury
interiors.

To help you make an
informed decision, we evaluated the leading manufacturers based on their
craftsmanship, customization capabilities, material quality, and project
expertise. Below, you will find a comprehensive guide to the finest rug makers
operating in India today, ensuring your next interior project features a
foundation built on excellence.

How We Selected the Top 10 Rug Brands in India

Evaluating luxury
carpet manufacturers requires strict criteria. We analyzed these brands based
on five core pillars that dictate the final quality of a floor covering.

Craftsmanship
and Heritage

True luxury lies in the
hands of the artisan. Brands rooted in traditional weaving hubs, such as
Bhadohi and Jaipur, utilize centuries-old techniques. Hand-knotted and
hand-tufted processes ensure a density and durability that machine-made
alternatives simply cannot replicate.

Material
Quality

The longevity of a
carpet depends directly on its raw materials. We prioritized brands that use
premium New Zealand wool, pure natural silk, bamboo silk, and durable natural
fibers. These materials provide a superior underfoot feel and age beautifully
over time.

Customization
Capabilities

Luxury interior design
demands flexibility. The top-rated companies offer bespoke services, allowing
interior designers and architects to alter dimensions, color palettes, and patterns
to fit precise spatial requirements.

Hospitality
and Commercial Experience

Commercial spaces
require floor coverings that withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining an
upscale aesthetic. Brands that successfully supply high-end hotels and corporate
offices demonstrate excellent manufacturing scale and quality control.

Customer
Reviews and Industry Reputation

A brand’s standing
among top-tier architects, home stylists, and interior designers serves as a
reliable indicator of quality. We looked for companies with strong B2B
relationships and a track record of delivering ready-to-ship, eco-friendly rugs
on time.

Luxury Handmade Rugs vs Machine-Made Carpets

Understanding the
structural differences between handmade luxury rugs and machine-made carpets is
essential for making a sound investment.

Durability Comparison

Handmade rugs,
particularly hand-knotted varieties from brands like The Ambiente, feature
individual knots tied to the warp threads. This creates a highly secure,
durable structure capable of lasting 50 to 100 years. Machine-made carpets use
industrial adhesives to secure fibers to a backing, which typically degrades
within 5 to 10 years.

Design Flexibility

A handmade rug offers
limitless design flexibility. Artisans can adjust dye lots, knot density, and
pile height. Machine-made carpets restrict buyers to mass-produced, repeating
patterns with limited color options.

Sustainability

Premium brands utilize
natural, biodegradable materials like wool, cotton, and silk. Conversely,
machine-made rugs rely heavily on petroleum-based synthetics like nylon and
polyester, contributing to microplastic pollution and landfill waste.

Long-Term Value

While machine-made
carpets depreciate instantly, a high-quality hand-knotted rug retains its
value. Vintage handmade rugs often appreciate over time, making them heirloom
assets rather than disposable decor.

How to Choose the Best Rug Brand in India

Selecting the ideal
brand requires aligning your specific needs with a manufacturer&#039;s core
strengths.

Consider Project Type

●     
Residential:
For living rooms and bedrooms, prioritize comfort and aesthetics. Brands like
The Ambiente and Cocoon Fine Rugs excel here.

●     
Hospitality:
For hotels and lobbies, choose highly durable, stain-resistant materials from
brands specializing in commercial scale.

●     
Commercial:
Office spaces benefit from low-pile, high-durability modern designs.

Consider Material

●     
Wool: Choose wool for
high-traffic areas; it is naturally stain-resistant, durable, and retains color
beautifully.

●     
Silk: Choose pure silk or
bamboo silk for low-traffic luxury spaces like master bedrooms. It provides an
unmatched sheen and softness.

●     
Viscose:
Opt for viscose as an affordable silk alternative, though it requires careful
maintenance and avoids moisture.

●     
Cotton:
Ideal for casual spaces, flatweaves, and summer rugs.

Consider Customization Requirements

If your project
features unusual room dimensions or requires a highly specific color match to
existing upholstery, select a brand like The Ambiente that offers end-to-end
bespoke services, from digital rendering to final weaving.

Consider Budget and ROI

Assess whether you are
purchasing a temporary decor item or a generational investment. Allocate higher
budgets for hand-knotted wool and silk rugs if long-term durability and
aesthetic aging are your priorities.

Why Luxury Projects Prefer Handmade Rugs

Top-tier architects and
interior designers consistently specify handmade rugs over manufactured
alternatives.

Superior Craftsmanship

The human element in a
handmade rug introduces subtle variations—known as abrash in the dyeing
process—that give the piece character and depth. Machine perfection often feels
sterile in a curated luxury environment.

Unique Designs

Because each piece
takes months to weave, no two handmade rugs are entirely identical. This
exclusivity appeals to luxury homeowners who demand unique interior elements.

Long-Term
Durability

The structural
integrity of a hand-knotted carpet ensures it survives decades of use without
the backing deteriorating or the pile matting down permanently.

Sustainability
Benefits

Handmade rug production
relies on human energy rather than fossil fuels. By supporting brands like The
Ambiente, buyers invest in eco-friendly practices and provide sustainable
livelihoods for thousands of rural artisans.

<title>Never Have to Miss Them Again: Inside the AI Startup Building the World&amp;apos;s First Immortal, Emotional Technology for Love and Connection</title>

<description><![CDATA[ In a small but growing corner of the
artificial intelligence industry, a category of products is emerging with no
real precedent: physical devices that let people interact with AI-generated
avatars of loved ones, whether those individuals live thousands of miles away
or are no longer alive. At the centre of this category is iAVATARS, a startup
registered in Michigan, United States, that has spent the last two years
quietly building what it calls &quot;the world&#039;s first AI human avatar
device,&quot; and what the company describes as the first AI smart and
healthcare tech gadget of its kind anywhere in the world. iAVATARS is founded
and led by Indo-Canadian entrepreneur Dr Krishna.

The
company&#039;s emergence comes at a moment when India&#039;s AI startup ecosystem is
experiencing unprecedented momentum. According to industry estimates, India is
now home to thousands of AI-focused startups, with investment in the sector
accelerating sharply over the past three years. Yet within this crowded
landscape, most ventures cluster around a handful of familiar categories:
enterprise productivity tools, generative content platforms, customer service
automation, and large language model applications. iAVATARS has taken a
markedly different path, one that combines hardware, proprietary AI software,
and an emotionally driven use case that few companies have been willing to
address: human grief, distance, and memory.

&quot;Most
AI companies are solving for efficiency,&quot; said Dr Krishna, the company&#039;s
founder. &quot;We set out to solve for something that technology has never
really tried to solve: the feeling of absence.&quot; For families separated by
distance, and for those who have lost someone they love, Dr Krishna says
iAVATARS is built around a simple promise: the ability to talk to them again,
not as a recording, but as a responsive, living presence that offers emotional
support and comfort on demand. As of 2026, the company believes it remains the
only solution of its kind built specifically around that promise.

That
ambition is now backed by intellectual property protection across five
jurisdictions. iAVATARS holds a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application
pending simultaneously in the United States, the European Union, India,
Australia, and New Zealand, a relatively rare achievement for an early-stage
startup, and one that signals both the novelty of the underlying technology and
the seriousness with which the company is approaching global expansion. PCT
filings of this breadth are typically associated with companies several funding
rounds ahead of where iAVATARS currently sits, and the company says the
decision to file early was deliberate.

&quot;When
you build something that has never existed before, protecting it becomes as
important as building it,&quot; Dr Krishna said. &quot;We did not want to spend
three years validating a product category only to have it replicated by a
larger company with more capital.&quot;

At the core
of iAVATARS&#039; offering is iSoul 1.0, the company&#039;s proprietary AI engine, which
powers a small lineup of hardware devices: the iA VLA Basic and iA VLA Pro,
both tabletop displays designed for everyday family use. Unlike most consumer
AI products on the market, iAVATARS&#039; devices are designed to function fully
offline, with all personal data, including voice recordings, video, and
interaction history, stored locally on the device rather than in the cloud. The
company positions this as both a privacy safeguard and a practical necessity,
given that many of its target users are elderly individuals in regions with
inconsistent internet connectivity.

The business
case driving iAVATARS rests on a demographic reality that is reshaping
economies across the world, India included. The country is home to an estimated
140 million citizens aged 60 and above, a number projected to more than double
by 2050. Simultaneously, India&#039;s diaspora, now estimated at over 18 million
people living abroad and part of a broader global figure of roughly 270 million
people living away from their country of origin, has created a structural gap
between ageing parents and adult children separated by geography. Add to this a
broader global trend: the World Health Organisation has flagged loneliness as a
significant public health concern, with research linking chronic loneliness in
older adults to accelerated cognitive decline. iAVATARS is positioning itself
directly at the intersection of these trends, betting that the AI companion
device market, projected by several industry analysts to reach roughly USD 12
billion by 2030, still lacks a category-defining hardware player.

&quot;There
is no shortage of software assistants,&quot; Dr Krishna said. &quot;What does
not exist yet is a dedicated physical device built specifically around
presence, memory, and emotional continuity. That is the gap we are
filling.&quot;

For now,
iAVATARS remains a small company by most conventional startup metrics. Its team
is lean, its devices are not yet mass-distributed, and its primary visibility
has come through grassroots outreach rather than large-scale marketing. The
company has, for instance, been visiting old-age homes across Mumbai this
month, not to sell its product but to engage directly with elderly residents,
document their stories, and lay the groundwork for future demonstrations of its
technology in institutional care settings.

This
ground-level approach is, according to Dr Krishna, intentional rather than
incidental. &quot;You cannot understand whether something genuinely helps an
elderly person feel less alone by running a lab demo,&quot; he said. &quot;You
have to sit with them, listen to them, and see how they respond when it is
real.&quot; Rather than launching through traditional e-commerce or large
retail partnerships, the company is exploring institutional channels first:
senior living communities, hospice care networks, and potential tie-ups with
NRI-focused service providers who already work with families managing care for
ageing parents from abroad.

India&#039;s
broader AI investment climate offers both an opportunity and a challenge for a
company positioned the way iAVATARS is. Capital flowing into Indian AI startups
has grown substantially over the past few years, with several funds explicitly
seeking differentiated, IP-backed ventures rather than incremental software
wrappers built atop existing large language models. iAVATARS&#039; PCT filing across
five jurisdictions is likely to be a meaningful talking point in future
fundraising conversations, given how few seed-stage companies secure such broad
patent coverage. At the same time, hardware-driven startups generally face
longer development cycles and higher capital requirements than pure software
companies, a reality that has made many Indian investors cautious about
hardware bets in the past.

Dr Krishna
acknowledges the trade-off but argues that the category iAVATARS justifies the
longer build cycle. &quot;If this were easy to build quickly, someone would
have built it already,&quot; he said. &quot;The fact that nobody has combined
offline AI, personalised avatars, and dedicated hardware into one coherent
product is precisely the opportunity. But it does mean we have had to be
patient and disciplined about how we spend capital.&quot;

That
discipline is visible in the company&#039;s current operating structure. Rather than
scaling headcount aggressively, iAVATARS has kept its core team small and
cross-functional, with each senior member covering a wide remit. Swatika&#039;s role
spans strategic partnerships and broader business operations, reflecting the
realities of an early-stage team where rigid departmental boundaries are a
luxury it cannot yet afford. Sundeep has driven much of the company&#039;s
go-to-market thinking, including early conversations with potential
institutional partners, while Rohit has focused on building the operational
systems needed to track device deployment, customer feedback, and after-sales
support ahead of a wider release. Bhargava&#039;s work on product strategy has
involved frequent direct interaction with prospective users, including elderly
residents and family members engaged with during the company&#039;s outreach visits,
feeding that input back into product design decisions.

On the
technical side, Arjit, who serves as Head of Technical and R&amp;D Lead, has
overseen the development of iSoul 1.0 and the broader engineering roadmap
behind the company&#039;s device lineup, an effort spanning AI model development,
hardware integration, and the offline-first architecture that distinguishes
iAVATARS from cloud-dependent competitors. Building an avatar system that can
render a recognisable, emotionally resonant likeness of a real person, while
keeping all processing local to the device, has required Arjit&#039;s team to balance
model size, processing efficiency, and visual fidelity in ways that
cloud-dependent rivals do not need to consider.

For Dr
Krishna, though, the calculus remains rooted less in market timing than in a
personal conviction that has driven the company since its earliest days.
&quot;I am not trying to build a faster way to chat with an AI,&quot; he said.
&quot;I am trying to build a way for someone to feel less alone, even briefly,
even imperfectly. If we get the business right, that is a bonus. But the reason
this company exists is the feeling, not the forecast.&quot;

<title>Commission Mukt Bharat Movement Gains Nationwide Momentum, Amplifying Voices of Lacs of Workers, Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

New Delhi, June 2026 : As concerns around rising commissions and shrinking margins
continue to affect workers and businesses across India, the Commission Mukt
Bharat movement is witnessing growing public participation from delivery
partners, drivers, freelancers, self-employed professionals, small business
owners, and entrepreneurs seeking greater transparency and fairness in the
digital economy.

The movement has attracted
significant engagement from people across the country, reflecting growing
concerns over commission-driven business models that many believe are impacting
the sustainability of small enterprises and individual livelihoods. Industry
observers note that lacs of small shops and local businesses have struggled to
remain competitive in an increasingly commission-dependent marketplace, leading
to financial pressure on business owners as well as service providers operating
on digital platforms.

Commission Mukt Bharat has
positioned itself as a public-awareness and grievance-redressal platform where
individuals can share their experiences related to excessive commission
deductions, unfair earning structures, payment disputes, and other challenges
affecting their income. Through its digital platform, citizens can register
grievances, highlight challenges faced in their professions or businesses, and
seek guidance and possible solutions from the movement’s support network.

The initiative has emerged as a
forum for discussions around fair income, worker rights, earning transparency,
entrepreneurship, and financial empowerment. By bringing together voices from
different sectors of the economy, the movement seeks to encourage constructive
dialogue on creating a more balanced ecosystem for workers, service providers,
and small businesses.

As India’s gig economy and digital
commerce sectors continue to expand, conversations around sustainable growth,
equitable opportunities, and income protection have become increasingly
relevant. Advocates associated with the movement believe that long-term
economic growth must also address the concerns of those who contribute directly
to the functioning of these ecosystems.

“Millions of workers,
entrepreneurs, delivery partners, drivers, freelancers, and business owners
across the country are affected by commission structures in one way or another.
Our objective is to create awareness, provide a platform where people can raise
their concerns, and work towards practical solutions that support fair
earnings, business sustainability, and economic empowerment,” said Jigar,
associated with the Commission Mukt Bharat movement.

With growing public participation,
the movement plans to further strengthen its outreach efforts through awareness
campaigns, educational initiatives, and community engagement programmes focused
on financial justice, income transparency, and economic empowerment.

The initiative’s continued
expansion highlights the increasing importance of conversations around fair
business practices, sustainable entrepreneurship, and the future of work in
India’s rapidly evolving digital economy.

<title>Young Entrepreneur Gungun Upadhyay Brews an Indian Coffee Revolution with Gun² Coffee Nationwide</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/young-entrepreneur-gungun-upadhyay-brews-an-indian-coffee-revolution-with-gun%C2%B2-coffee-nationwide</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/young-entrepreneur-gungun-upadhyay-brews-an-indian-coffee-revolution-with-gun%C2%B2-coffee-nationwide</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In India&#039;s rapidly
evolving coffee industry, multinational brands have long enjoyed a strong
foothold. From premium café chains to supermarket shelves, global names have
largely shaped consumer preferences and market trends. Yet, amid this
competitive landscape, a young entrepreneur from Jodhpur, Rajasthan, is
challenging the status quo with a bold vision—to build a proudly Indian coffee
brand that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with international players.

At just 22 years old,
Gungun Upadhyay, founder of Gun² Coffee, represents a new generation of Indian
entrepreneurs who are redefining ambition, resilience, and the meaning of
&quot;Made in India.&quot;

Choosing
Entrepreneurship Over Convention

While many young
graduates focus on securing jobs and building careers within established
organizations, Gungun chose a different path. She set out not to seek
opportunities but to create them.

Entering the coffee
sector was far from an easy decision. The industry is highly competitive, with
well-funded international brands commanding significant market share and
consumer recognition. Yet Gungun believed that a strong commitment to quality,
authenticity, and customer trust could help a homegrown brand carve out its own
identity.

That belief became the
foundation of Gun² Coffee, a brand that has rapidly expanded its footprint and,
according to company information, reached a network of more than 2100+
retailers across India.

More Than Coffee: A
Vision for Indian Brands

For Gungun, Gun² Coffee
is not merely a business venture. It is part of a larger vision—one that
reflects the aspirations of a new India increasingly confident in its ability
to create world-class brands.

At a time when
consumers are surrounded by foreign labels and international marketing
campaigns, she is working to prove that Indian brands can compete on quality,
innovation, and customer experience. Her mission is to encourage consumers to
place the same trust in homegrown products that they traditionally reserve for
global names.

In many ways, Gun²
Coffee represents more than a beverage company; it symbolizes the growing
confidence of young Indian entrepreneurs who believe that the future of
consumer brands can be built within India, by Indians, for the world.

Turning Challenges into
Strength

Every entrepreneurial journey
comes with setbacks, and Gungun&#039;s story is no exception. What sets her apart is
her ability to transform adversity into motivation.

She firmly believes
that sustainable success is never achieved overnight. Every successful brand is
built through countless hours of effort, difficult decisions, continuous
learning, and the courage to keep moving forward despite obstacles.

This mindset has become
one of the defining characteristics of her entrepreneurial journey and a source
of inspiration for many young people looking to pursue their own ambitions.

Recognition at the
National Level

Gungun&#039;s efforts have
not gone unnoticed. Her work and entrepreneurial spirit have drawn appreciation
beyond the business community.

Union Agriculture and
Farmers Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has acknowledged her dedication
and entrepreneurial initiative. She has also been associated with projects
aimed at encouraging innovation and enterprise, reflecting the growing
recognition of young founders who are contributing to India&#039;s vision of
self-reliance and economic growth.

Such recognition is
particularly significant for a young entrepreneur, as it highlights the broader
impact of her work beyond commercial success.

A New Face of Women-Led
Entrepreneurship

India&#039;s startup
ecosystem has witnessed remarkable growth over the past decade, yet women
entrepreneurs remain underrepresented in many sectors. Gungun Upadhyay&#039;s
journey stands as a powerful example of what is possible when vision,
determination, and hard work come together.

She is emerging as a
role model for young women who aspire to build businesses, lead organizations,
and create their own identities in competitive industries.

Her story demonstrates
that age is not a barrier to achievement. What matters is clarity of purpose,
willingness to learn, and the courage to take risks.

The Journey Has Only
Begun

Despite her
achievements, Gungun views her current success not as a destination but as the
beginning of a much larger journey.

Her ambition is to
establish Gun² Coffee as one of India&#039;s most respected homegrown coffee brands
and eventually expand its presence on a larger national and international
stage.

In an era where
consumers increasingly value authenticity, quality, and local innovation, her
vision aligns perfectly with the changing aspirations of modern India.

At just 22, while many
are still discovering their professional path, Gungun Upadhyay is building a
brand, creating opportunities, and contributing to a larger movement that
celebrates Indian entrepreneurship.

Her story is a reminder
that great brands are not born in big cities alone—they are built through bold
ideas, relentless effort, and an unwavering belief in what is possible.

And perhaps that is the
true essence of Gun² Coffee: not merely a cup of coffee, but a symbol of
youthful ambition, resilience, and the rising confidence of a new generation of
Indian entrepreneurs.

<title>12 Spots on This Cruise Ship That Will Fill Your Camera Roll Before You Even Reach the First Port</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/12-spots-on-this-cruise-ship-that-will-fill-your-camera-roll-before-you-even-reach-the-first-port</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/12-spots-on-this-cruise-ship-that-will-fill-your-camera-roll-before-you-even-reach-the-first-port</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ There
are selfies. There are great selfies. And then there are cruise selfies
- where the backdrop changes every few hours, the light behaves differently
than it does on land, and the setting is so good your friends assume you hired
a photographer.

Norwegian
Luna, one of Norwegian Cruise Line’s
newest ships at sea, is proof that some vacations are built differently. The
backdrop is constantly shifting. Sunrise over open water looks nothing like
noon, noon nothing like golden hour, and golden hour nothing like a night on a
glowing deck.  You’ll never capture the
same moment twice.

Here
are 12 spots on board worth every frame in your camera roll.

1.
The Hull - Before You Even Step Aboard

Some
ships are forgettable on the outside. This one isn&#039;t. Norwegian Luna&#039;s hull
carries ‘La Luna’ - a sweeping mural by New York-based street artist ELLE, a
bold, colourful exploration of humanity&#039;s connection to the moon and celestial
forces. Spanning nearly a thousand feet, it’s a statement in itself. Get the
shot from the dock before you board. It sets the tone for everything that
follows.

2.
Oceanwalk Glass Bridge - For the &quot;I&#039;m Walking on Water&quot; Selfie

Not
a morning person? You might just want to become one for this. Oceanwalk is a
glass-bottomed, glass-walled bridge that extends over the open ocean - sea
below your feet, sky above, nothing else in the frame. This is the best place
on the ship for that one slow, no-crowd selfie, in the early hours when the
light is soft and the deck is quiet. The drama is entirely built in. No filter
required.

3.
The Penrose Atrium - The Indoor Shot That Isn’t Indoor

Step
inside and look up. The three-story glass-walled atrium is anchored by a
three-tonne crystal chandelier inspired by constellations - the kind of centrepiece
that makes every photo look intentional. Natural light shifts throughout the
day. Morning here feels different from evening, but both are worth the shot.
There&#039;s also a professional photography studio set up in the evenings if you
want to give away the camera entirely.

4.
Infinity Beach – Golden Hour No Compromise

Two
infinity pools sit at either side of the ship, designed to visually merge with
the horizon. You know the shot - water appearing to spill into the ocean
beyond. It&#039;s a perspective you cannot imitate on land. Both, sunrise and sunset
lovers win here. Pick your hour, find your angle, and let the setting do the
work.

5.
Ocean Boulevard – The Promenade That Goes Everywhere

Ocean
Boulevard wraps 360 degrees around the ship, so the view is always evolving.
Morning light on one side, the wake of the ship from the other, noon feels
completely different from dusk. Along the way is The Concourse - an outdoor
sculpture garden with installations designed specifically for photo moments,
with metal artworks by Alexander Krivosheiw and David Harber. It&#039;s a selfie
spot that doesn&#039;t announce itself as one, which makes it even better.

6.
Vibe Beach Club - When Even Your Candids Look Composed

The
adults-only Vibe Beach Club is the kind of space that captures the way a good
vacation feels. Think Plush loungers, infinity hot tubs and uninterrupted ocean
viewsIt&#039;s the sort of setting where you&#039;re not trying to chase the perfect shot
- it happens naturally.

7.
The Aqua Slidecoaster - Chaos, But Make It Content

Hear
us out. The Aqua Slidecoaster is a hybrid waterslide and roller coaster that
wraps around the ship&#039;s funnel in two brightly coloured tubes, launching riders
through uphill sections, drops, and twists across three decks. The visual -
neon tracks against the open sky and the expression on someone&#039;s face
mid-launch is genuinely great content. Get the POV in a waterproof case or
stand on the deck and capture the moment. Either way, it makes the camera roll.

8.
The Drop - Ten Stories of Pure Expression

If
the Slidecoaster is chaos, The Drop is commitment. A ten-story free-fall dry
slide - one of the only ones at sea, where the only way is straight down. The
photo opportunity here is all about the expression.

9.
Glow Court - The Night Shift Selfie

By
day, it is a high-tech LED sports floor. By night, it transforms into something
that looks like it belongs in a music video - colour underfoot, the deck lit
up, the ocean dark beyond the rails. It&#039;s the spot for the photo that says “the
night was good” without needing a caption. This is what low-light phone
photography was made for.

10.
Indulge Food Hall - Where the Food Is the Story

Open-air,
set on Ocean Boulevard, and running ten global cuisine stations, Indulge Food
Hall is made for food content. Whether is a bowl of noodles with the ocean
behind it or a dessert plated against the sky, the backdrop changes with every
meal. -Bbreakfast, lunch or al fresco dinner - if you’re a food content
creator, this is your part of the ship.

11.
The Haven - No Crowds, No Compromises

For
the selfie that requires nothing additional, The Haven is the answer. This
private enclave within the ship has its own sun decks, dedicated elevators, and
a slower pace.  No crowds, unobstructed
views and understated elegane. It feels less “I&#039;m on a cruise”,
more “I live here now”.

12.
At Every Port - The &quot;Let&#039;s Take a Selfie&quot; Shore Excursion

The
camera roll doesn’t stop when the ship docks. Across many of Norwegian Cruise
Line’s destinations - from the colourful plazas of Cozumel to the blue-domed
churches of Santorini to the iconic landmarks of Rome, a dedicated *Let’s Take
a Selfie* shore excursion takes guests to the most photogenic spots in each
port, with a selfie tutor to help with angles, lighting and composition. It’s
sightseeing along with a masterclass in photography. And when you return to the
ship you have captured an entire destination, not just visit it.

June
21 is National Selfie Day. Currently, Norwegian Luna is sailing seven-day
itineraries to the Caribbean from Miami.

Norwegian
Luna is a state-of-the-art, 3,565-passenger cruise
ship and the newest vessel in Norwegian Cruise Line&#039;s
premium Prima-Plus class. Sailing primarily in the Caribbean, it is highly
celebrated for its fast-paced activities, high-end design, and vibrant onboard
atmosphere ]]></description>

<title>The Real Cost Gap Between AI Voice Agents and Human Telecallers: VoxTurn Crunches the Numbers</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-real-cost-gap-between-ai-voice-agents-and-human-telecallers-voxturn-crunches-the-numbers</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-real-cost-gap-between-ai-voice-agents-and-human-telecallers-voxturn-crunches-the-numbers</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ While India&#039;s technology conversation has
spent the last two years on sovereign LLMs, benchmark comparisons, and AI
summits, VoxTurn has been doing something quieter: deploying voice AI in
production for Indian enterprises, at scale, in regional languages, on outbound
and inbound phone operations that run around the clock.

The company today is putting its experience
on record. After two-plus years of building voice AI systems for clients across
real estate, healthcare, and consumer businesses, VoxTurn is making a direct
claim: for high-volume phone operations in India, AI voice agents are not just
comparable in cost to human telecallers. When you do the full math, they are
often cheaper.

The problem, VoxTurn says, is that most enterprises are not
doing the full math.

The typical procurement comparison sets an
AI vendor&#039;s per-minute rate against a telecaller&#039;s monthly salary. On the
surface, this makes the human look cheaper. But this comparison measures two
different things. A monthly salary does not tell you the cost of a productive
talk-minute once you load in what a contact centre floor actually costs to run.

Across Indian enterprise operations, a
standard outbound telecaller logs roughly 90 to 120 minutes of actual talk time
per day, after accounting for no-pickups, call setup, wrap-up, breaks, and the
recovery time that follows a run of rejections. At a base salary of Rs 15,000 a
month across 24 working days, and productive talk-time of 120 minutes a day,
base cost works out to approximately Rs 5.20 per productive minute, before a
single additional cost is applied.

By the time you add PF, ESI, and gratuity
at 15% to 20% on base, outbound telephony at Rs 0.30 to Rs 0.80 per minute,
seat and infrastructure costs, team lead and QA overhead, and the cost of
attrition that runs at 30% to 60% annually across most Indian contact centre
floors, the picture changes. Based on conversations with contact centre
operators and VoxTurn&#039;s own deployment
data, the fully loaded cost of a productive talk-minute runs Rs 6 to Rs 10 in
Tier-2 cities, and Rs 12 to Rs 17 in metro operations. AI voice agents on a
comparable deployment run at Rs 2 to Rs 6 per minute.

“We didn’t build VoxTurn to replace
salespeople. We built it because we kept seeing talented sales professionals
spend their best hours on tasks that had little to do with selling. Qualifying
leads, chasing callbacks, updating CRMs, these activities can consume the
majority of a salesperson’s day, while the conversations they were actually
hired, take a back seat. The moment you take qualification off their plate, you
give them back the part of the job that drives results: meaningful customer
conversations. That’s the fundamental idea behind VoxTurn,” says Gaurav
Vishwakarma, Founder, VoxTurn.

AI belongs in the part of the funnel that
is high in volume, repetitive in nature, and hard to staff effectively:
first-touch qualification calls, outbound reminders, follow-up sequences,
off-hours inbound, and regional language coverage across shifts that no human
team can cost-effectively maintain. Human agents, freed from that grind, spend
their time on warm, qualified conversations where judgment and relationships
determine the outcome.

The same economics extend well beyond
sales. Utility helplines, loan reminders, appointment follow-ups, government
outreach programs: the constraint is identical across all of them. Too many
people to reach, not enough agents, and an attrition problem that never goes
away.

This, VoxTurn says, is where India&#039;s real
AI economy is being built.

About VoxTurn

VoxTurn is the voice and conversational
AI product line of Invorto RealTech Pvt. Ltd., a Bengaluru-based company
building AI voice agents for Indian enterprises. Since 2023, VoxTurn has
deployed voice AI in production across financial services and consumer
businesses, handling outbound and inbound phone operations in regional
languages at scale. The company was featured on Shark Tank India Season 5. ]]></description>

<title>Priyanka Prasad Impresses in Her Powerful Debut, standing tall alongside Sai Kumar</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/priyanka-prasad-impresses-in-her-powerful-debut-standing-tall-alongside-sai-kumar</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/priyanka-prasad-impresses-in-her-powerful-debut-standing-tall-alongside-sai-kumar</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai : For any newcomer, sharing
screen space with an experienced performer such as Sai Kumar is a challenge.
Yet Priyanka Prasad approaches her role with remarkable confidence and
sincerity.

 

As Goyya Lakshmi Prasanna, Priyanka delivers a performance
rooted in natural expression rather than exaggerated dramatics. Her portrayal
reflects innocence, emotional vulnerability, and strength in equal measure.
What stands out most is her ability to remain believable in emotional scenes
while maintaining a strong screen presence.

 

Her expressive eyes, subtle body language, and controlled
emotional graph allow her scenes to feel organic. Rather than attempting to
dominate the screen, she focuses on serving the story, a quality often
associated with performers who enjoy long careers in cinema.

Industry observers often note that a debut performance is judged
not merely by dialogue delivery but by how comfortably an actor inhabits a
character. In Pranaya Godari, Priyanka succeeds in making her character feel
authentic and relatable to audiences.

One of the film&#039;s strengths is the chemistry between the lead
pair.

 

Veteran actor Sai Kumar is known for commanding performances and
powerful dialogue delivery. Sharing meaningful scenes with such an accomplished
actor can be intimidating for a newcomer.

However, Priyanka Prasad demonstrates commendable maturity.
While Sai Kumar provides dramatic weight and authority, Priyanka complements
the narrative with emotional depth and sincerity. The contrast between
experience and youthful energy works effectively for the film and enhances her
credibility as an actress.

 

Following the film&#039;s release, audience discussions highlighted
the performances of the cast, particularly the fresh pairing and emotional
storytelling. Viewer feedback on entertainment platforms frequently mentioned
the acting performances and overall presentation of the film.

 

For a debut actress, generating positive conversation among
Telugu audiences is often the first step toward a sustainable career, and
Priyanka appears to have achieved exactly that.

 

After establishing herself through Pranaya Godari, Priyanka
Prasad is increasingly being viewed as a performer capable of handling both
commercial and content-driven cinema.

 

Industry circles indicate growing interest in seeing her explore
projects beyond Telugu cinema, including Hindi-language films and digital
content. Her combination of screen appeal, performance-oriented acting, and
adaptability positions her well for opportunities in Mumbai and Hyderabad.

 

There is particular curiosity regarding her association with
creative ventures being developed by Orbit Media Studio and Childhood Dreams
Production, both of which are known for nurturing fresh storytelling and
emerging talent. While official announcements are being on the floor soon.
Industry watchers believe Priyanka has the potential to become a strong bridge
between Telugu entertainment markets.

 

Every few years, an actress arrives whose greatest strength is
not glamour alone but the ability to make audiences believe in the character
she portrays.

 

If her debut is any indication, Telugu cinema may have
discovered a performer capable of building a long and meaningful career across
regional and national platforms. Her journey has only begun, but the confidence,
poise, and emotional honesty displayed in Pranaya Godari make her an actress
worth watching in the years ahead.

<title>World&amp;apos;s Largest 5,211&#45;kg Parad Shivling Created by Raghunath Guruji; Grand Pran Pratishtha Held in Haridwar</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/worlds-largest-5211-kg-parad-shivling-created-by-raghunath-guruji-grand-pran-pratishtha-held-in-haridwar</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/worlds-largest-5211-kg-parad-shivling-created-by-raghunath-guruji-grand-pran-pratishtha-held-in-haridwar</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The three-day Pran Pratishtha (consecration ceremony) of
the world&#039;s largest 5,211-kilogram Parad Shivling was successfully conducted at
Shri Sai Shiv Ganga Dham in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, amid devotion, Vedic
rituals, and a spiritually charged atmosphere. More than 2,000 devotees,
seekers, saints, and distinguished guests from across India participated in the
grand event.

The massive Parad Shivling was created by Dhyan Guru
Raghunath Guruji after nearly ten years of spiritual practice, research, and
in-depth study of Parad science. Mercury, silver, gold, and extracts of 108
herbs were used in its creation. Spiritual scholars describe it as the world&#039;s
largest Parad Shivling and a remarkable confluence of India&#039;s spiritual
heritage, Parad science, and meditation traditions.

Beyond his spiritual work, Raghunath Guruji is also
widely recognized as a renowned palmist and life guide who has counselled
several prominent personalities from the film industry, business world, and
public life. Over the years, he has guided celebrities including Bollywood
actors Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon, as well as public figures such as Member
of Parliament Raghav Chadha and actress Parineeti Chopra. His unique blend of
spiritual wisdom, palmistry, meditation, and personal mentoring has earned him
a respected place among both spiritual seekers and members of the entertainment
industry.

The Pran Pratishtha ceremony was held under the
blessings of Guru Gorakhnath Maharaj&#039;s tradition, revered Pir Yogi Mahant
Somnath Bapu of Girnar, and the guidance of Padma Bhushan Dr. Vijay Bhatkar.
The event aimed to spread the message of world peace, human welfare, and
positive energy.

Raghunath Guruji stated that the Shivling is not merely
a religious symbol but a center for meditation, self-reflection, and positive
consciousness. He added that the Shivling, created after years of research and
spiritual practice, represents a message of human welfare and spiritual
awakening. Earlier, in 2019, he had organized a grand Ashwamedh Yagya attended
by nearly 10,000 people.

Known for his work across spirituality and personal
transformation, Raghunath Guruji has built a following that extends beyond
traditional religious circles. His interactions with actors, filmmakers,
entrepreneurs, and political leaders have often highlighted the growing
interest in spiritual guidance and holistic well-being among public figures.
This unique connection with the entertainment industry has also made him a
familiar name among film journalists and Bollywood observers.

Several eminent saints and dignitaries attended the
ceremony, including Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Ji Maharaj, Shri Sudhanshu
Ji Maharaj, Swami Kailashanand Giri Ji Maharaj, Swami Avdheshanand Giri Ji
Maharaj, Swami Ravindra Puri Ji Maharaj, Shri Dinesh Chandra Ji, senior
representatives of the Vishva Hindu Parishad, Sadhvi Ritambhara Ji, Acharya
Manish Ji (HIIMS), MP Raghav Chadha, and State Minister and Ganga Sabha
President Nitin Gautam.

Industrialist and social worker Rajeev Bansal played a
significant role in organizing the event. He said, &quot;I am a devotee of Sai
Baba. By Baba&#039;s blessings, I received the opportunity to be a part of this
divine mission. For me, this was an opportunity for service and devotion.&quot;

At the conclusion of the ceremony, Raghunath Guruji
expressed gratitude to all saints, devotees, volunteers, and supporters. He
specially acknowledged the contribution of Rajeev Bansal, whose dedicated
efforts helped ensure the success of the grand event.

The success of the ceremony was also supported by
Adarniya Dadashree, Manoj Toshniwal Family, Manoj Gohad, IG Takwale, Mamta
Jiwal, Tarun Bhandari, Amit Agarwal, Ramesh Sanwarthiya, Dollarbhai Kotecha,
Sudhir Agarwal, Raju Oswal, Jitendra Rathi, and many other devotees and
well-wishers.

Alongside spiritual activities, Raghunath Guruji is
actively involved in disability empowerment, women farmers&#039; welfare,
environmental awareness, and innovation-based social initiatives. Through
DICCAI (Divyang Indian Chamber of Commerce &amp; Industry), efforts are being made
to promote self-employment and economic empowerment among persons with
disabilities, with CEO Amit Agarwal playing a key role.

The event concluded with the message: &quot;Meditation
leads to Peace, Peace leads to Harmony, and Harmony leads to Global Welfare.&quot;
Devotees described the ceremony as a historic confluence of spirituality,
science, service, and human welfare. ]]></description>

Munnar, Kerala  : A
century-old planter&#039;s bungalow launches as the best five-star luxury resort in
munnar, kerala, offering guests restored colonial
architecture, Ayurveda wellness, and curated tea-estate experiences.

1924 Clock House, a
restored colonial-era stone bungalow near Attukad Waterfalls in Pallivasal, has
opened as a five-star luxury resort amid Munnar&#039;s tea valleys. The property
retains its hand-built stone walls, original chimneys, and iconic clock
tower—once the estate&#039;s timekeeper and now the resort&#039;s signature landmark.

bungalow stands the Grand Fireplace, a century-old centerpiece around which
guests gather on misty evenings. Individually restored rooms, including the
Churchill Bridge and Ladies Bridge, offer luxury colonial interiors with views
over the tea plantations and historic chimneys. The resort&#039;s infinity pool
extends toward the valley horizon, creating a seamless visual merge with the
surrounding hills.

Dining is anchored by
the Victorian Borma, a heritage cooking experience inspired by early
20th-century plantation kitchens, alongside a fireplace-lit restaurant serving
Kerala and continental cuisine. Wellness offerings include traditional Ayurveda
therapies and yoga set against the tea gardens making it the luxurious wellness retreat in kerala.

Guests can also enjoy
guided tea plantation walks, heritage storytelling sessions, bonfire evenings,
nature trails, bird watching, and a dedicated children&#039;s activity zone. For
events, The Planters&#039; Theatre banquet hall combines stone walls and Burma teak
interiors for weddings and private gatherings.

Three curated stay packages are available: the Tea
Garden Love Escape, Tea Garden Colonial Escape, and Family Delight Package,
catering to couples, families, and heritage-seeking travellers alike.



Guests experiences at 1924 Clockhouse reviews
state that they seek more than just a place to stay. Visitors look for destinations
that offer history, ethnicity, culture, and authentic local experiences. When
you travel to a heritage bungalow that carries the stories and memories of a
bygone era, where the British once used it as their summer retreat, the
experience becomes truly special.

Recognized as a
historic and exotic stay by Incredible India and featured on several renowned
travel websites, this heritage property offers a unique glimpse into the past
while providing modern comfort.

So, when you stay in
Munnar, make it a different experience. Choose a place that is not just

<description><![CDATA[  

Kuthambakkam,
Chennai, June 2026: 
Kuthambakkam is rapidly emerging as one of Chennai&#039;s most promising real
estate destinations, attracting both investors and homebuyers looking for
long-term value. Strategically located along the Chennai–Bangalore Highway, the
locality offers excellent connectivity, growing infrastructure, and strong
appreciation potential. With Kuthambakkam Bus Terminal, proposed metro
connectivity, and easy access to major industrial hubs, educational
institutions, healthcare facilities, and commercial centers, Kuthambakkam has
become a preferred destination for those searching for the best plots for sale in Kuthambakkam.
Its affordability compared to other developing locations in Chennai further
enhances its appeal as a future-ready investment corridor.

[Commenting
on the growth potential, Mr. Sachin Mehta, Managing Director of Jain Housing
&amp; Constructions Ltd., said, &quot;Kuthambakkam has already delivered nearly
30% appreciation in the last 12 months, reflecting the strong growth momentum
of Kuthambakkam. With ongoing infrastructure development and improved
connectivity, we anticipate a further 20% appreciation in the near future,
making it an attractive investment opportunity.&quot;]

Building
on the success of the project, Jains Adarsh Avenue Phase 1 has
been successfully sold out, highlighting the strong demand for quality plotted
developments in the region. Following this response, Jain Housing has launched
Phase 2, offering only 56 exclusive plots. For buyers seeking the best plot in
Kuthambakkam, this limited availability presents an excellent opportunity to
invest in a fast-growing location with significant future potential.

Jains Adarsh Avenue is
a premium gated community offering CMDA-approved plots in Kuthambakkam with
thoughtfully planned infrastructure and lifestyle-focused amenities. The
project features wide blacktop roads, avenue plantations, landscaped
surroundings, street lighting, and a secure gated environment. Its strategic
location is very close to the bus terminal, with seamless connectivity to schools,
colleges, hospitals, employment hubs, and major transportation networks, making
it an ideal choice for both end-users and investors in Thirumazhisai. ]]></description>

Leadership Voices

Vanakkam, Chennai!

So many people from Adyar and across South
Chennai have already been a part of the Kosmoderma family for years, and the
love and trust you have given us mean everything to us.

Today, with our new Adyar clinic, we are
simply extending our hands to serve you closer to home with the same care,
expertise, and trust that Kosmoderma is known for.

We are truly happy to welcome Adyar even
more closely into the Kosmoderma family. Thank you, Chennai, for always being a
part of our journey.”

— Dr. Chytra V Anand, Founder &amp; CEO,
Kosmoderma

Franchise Partner

The Adyar clinic is led by Ms. Anitha Koti,
a passionate entrepreneur who brings both business acumen and a deep belief in
accessible, quality healthcare to this venture. Her decision to partner with
Kosmoderma reflects a shared commitment that the people of South Chennai
deserve world-class aesthetic care, right in their own neighborhood.

Partnering with Kosmoderma was a clear
choice for me. This is a brand built on trust, clinical excellence, and genuine
care for its clients. Bringing that to Adyar is something I am truly proud of,
and I look forward to welcoming this community into the Kosmoderma family.

— Ms. Anitha Koti, Franchise Owner,
Kosmoderma Adyar

For us, the Adyar launch reflects one clear
priority: bringing the Kosmoderma standard of care closer to more people
without ever diluting the quality of the experience.

Every Kosmoderma clinic is built on the
same foundation — strong systems, dermatologist-led consultations,
hospital-grade processes, and a patient journey designed around safety,
consistency, and comfort. That is what allows us to deliver the same level of
trust whether a patient visits us in Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, or Chennai.

Our responsibility is not only to expand
but also to expand responsibly. Adyar gives South Chennai access to premium
aesthetic care that is structured, reliable, and designed to meet the
expectations of today’s informed patients. 

— [Tanuushka K Lal], COO, Kosmoderma

Chennai has consistently emerged as one of
India’s most aware and quality-conscious markets in aesthetic dermatology, with
patients placing increasing importance on medically guided treatments, safety
standards, and trusted clinical expertise.

What makes the Adyar expansion especially
meaningful for us is the strong relationship Kosmoderma has already built with
patients and families across South Chennai. Many of them have travelled
considerable distances to seek our care, and this clinic allows us to bring the
Kosmoderma experience significantly closer to their everyday lives.

Today’s consumers are more informed than
ever before. They are no longer influenced by exaggerated promises alone; they
want transparency, expertise, personalized guidance, and confidence in the
medical credibility behind every treatment they choose. That shift strongly
reflects the values Kosmoderma has stood for since its inception.”

— Dr. Soumitra Das, National Head –
Marketing &amp; Sales, Kosmoderma

“In aesthetic dermatology, meaningful and
safe outcomes are determined long before a procedure begins. They come from
accurate diagnosis, clinical judgment, ethical decision-making, and choosing
the right treatment plan for the right patient.

At Kosmoderma, every treatment
recommendation begins with a detailed dermatologist-led assessment because we
strongly believe no two individuals should ever be approached with the same
treatment strategy. Every skin type, hair concern, lifestyle factor, and
aesthetic goal requires careful evaluation and personalized planning.

The Adyar clinic has been developed around
that same medical philosophy — evidence-based dermatology, scientifically
validated technologies, ethical treatment practices, and patient safety
integrated into every stage of care. For us, responsible aesthetic medicine
will always matter more than trend-driven treatments.”

— Dr. Nistha, Medical Head, Kosmoderma

WHY IT MATTERS

Most aesthetic clinics in India operate
with no accreditation, no dermatologist on staff, and equipment that carries no
regulatory approval. Patients often have no way to tell the difference until
something goes wrong. Kosmoderma’s focus on safety protocols, treatment
standards, and exclusive use of US FDA-approved technologies helps remove that
guesswork for patients. 

For Adyar residents, the choice used to be
between convenience and quality. That trade-off is gone. The clinic is built to
the same standard as every other Kosmoderma location across Bangalore, Mumbai,
and Delhi — and it is now a ten-minute drive away.

ABOUT KOSMODERMA

Founded in 2006 by globally known Celebrity
Cosmetic Dermatologist Dr. Chytra V. Anand, Kosmoderma Skin, Hair &amp; Body
Clinics is a premium cosmetic dermatology and aesthetic healthcare brand built
on strong clinical expertise, continuous training, and a knowledge-first
approach to care. At Kosmoderma, the belief is simple: we do not serve services
first—we serve knowledge first, and that knowledge flows into every treatment
recommendation and care plan.

Each individual is carefully understood,
guided, and personalized through every stage of their aesthetic journey, with
treatment plans tailored to their unique concerns and goals. More than a
clinic, Kosmoderma strives to be a family, where trust, care, and guidance
extend beyond the individual to the people they care about as well.

<title>Anmol Pushjai Goel: Prominent Indian Entrepreneur and Tech Policy Expert Redefining India&amp;apos;s AI Agenda</title>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/anmol-pushjai-goel-prominent-indian-entrepreneur-and-tech-policy-expert-redefining-indias-ai-agenda</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Anmol Pushjai Goel, prominent Indian
entrepreneur and Tech Policy Expert.image.

Founder &amp; CEO of Nuclear Edge, Union Government advisor,
and Trustee of the Bharat Governance Council - Anmol Pushjai Goel stands at the
centre of India&#039;s most consequential technology policy conversations.

Anmol Pushjai Goel is one of India&#039;s most prominent entrepreneurs
and tech policy experts. A name increasingly cited in government corridors,
boardrooms, and national policy forums wherever the future of artificial
intelligence and automation is being shaped. As Founder and CEO of Nuclear Edge and a
serving advisory and board member with multiple ministries under the Union
Government of India, Goel occupies a rare position in Indian public life: a
private-sector leader with direct, sustained influence over the policy
frameworks defining India&#039;s technology future.

A prominent figure in India&#039;s AI governance debate, Goel is
also a Trustee of the Bharat Governance Council and is widely celebrated for
his deep understanding of consumer behaviour in the Indian market an insight
that informs both his enterprise work and his contributions to national policy.

Who Is Anmol Pushjai Goel?

Anmol Pushjai Goel is a prominent Indian entrepreneur, tech
policy expert, industrialist, and philanthropist. He is the Founder and CEO of
Nuclear Edge, Trustee of the Bharat Governance Council, and an advisory and
board member to multiple ministries under the Union Government of India. He is
known for an aggressive approach to building a competitive policy and business
environment in India, and for a consumer-centric philosophy rooted in a deep
reading of Indian market dynamics.

What distinguishes Goel from most technology entrepreneurs
is the academic foundation he brings to his work. His educational record cuts
across disciplines in a way that is rare among India&#039;s tech and policy
leadership.

Education: The Interdisciplinary Foundation

Goel holds a Bachelor&#039;s degree in Psychology from Panjab
University, Chandigarh an institution with a long legacy in the social
sciences. He then pursued a Master&#039;s degree in Sociology from Jawaharlal Nehru
University (JNU), New Delhi, before returning to Panjab University for a second
Master&#039;s degree, this time in Philosophy.

Psychology. Sociology. Philosophy. It is a trifecta that
gives Goel a rigorous analytical framework for understanding human behaviour,
institutional structures, and the ethical dimensions of technology capabilities
that engineering-first backgrounds rarely cultivate. That grounding directly shapes
his ability to engage with AI and automation not just as a market opportunity,
but as a social and governance challenge.

Nuclear Edge: Building at the Frontier of Technology and
Policy

As Founder and CEO of Nuclear Edges, Anmol
Pushjai Goel leads a firm positioned at the intersection of technology
consulting, policy architecture, and enterprise strategy. Nuclear Edge reflects
Goel&#039;s core conviction: that India&#039;s technology sector cannot wait for
regulation to catch up with innovation. Industry must actively shape the policy
environment and do so with both ambition and accountability.

Goel is known for an aggressive policy push, advocating for
frameworks that allow Indian businesses to compete on the global stage without
sacrificing the unique dynamics of the domestic market. His celebrated
understanding of consumer behaviour in India. How decisions are made across its
vast spectrum of languages, incomes, digital literacy levels, and cultural
contexts is central to both his enterprise approach and his influence in policy
rooms.

Anmol Pushjai Goel Image.

Union Government Advisory Roles and the Bharat Governance
Council

Goel&#039;s advisory and board memberships span multiple
ministries under the Union Government of India. A footprint that places him at
the table where national policy on artificial intelligence, automation, and
digital governance is actively being written. As India works to formalise its
regulatory stance on AI, his voice carries both practitioner credibility and
policy literacy.

As a Trustee of the Bharat Governance Council, Goel works
toward a parallel but complementary goal: strengthening the institutional
architecture through which India governs itself. The Council&#039;s mandate to build
more adaptive, responsive governance frameworks aligns closely with his
conviction that good policy and good business are not in opposition, but are
mutually dependent.

Business Philosophy: Aggressive, Grounded, Indian-First

Those who have worked with Anmol Pushjai Goel consistently
describe a business philosophy that is aggressive without being reckless, and
ambitious without losing sight of India&#039;s structural realities. He pushes hard
for a policy and business environment that empowers domestic entrepreneurs,
resists regulatory overreach, and positions India as a rule-maker, not a
rule-taker in the global AI economy.

At the same time, he brings to every enterprise engagement a
sociologist&#039;s patience with complexity. India is not one market. Its consumers
behave differently across states, income levels, and digital access tiers.
Goel&#039;s celebrated understanding of that complexity is what makes him effective
not just as a CEO, but as a policy interlocutor who can translate ground-level
market realities into language that governments can act on.

Philanthropy: Governance and Equitable Access

Goel&#039;s philanthropic work is an extension of his
professional convictions. Through the Bharat Governance Council and affiliated
initiatives, he has championed equitable access to digital education and skills
development ensuring that India&#039;s AI-driven growth is not confined to its
metropolitan elite. His approach to philanthropy, like his approach to policy,
is structural: fix the systems, not just the symptoms.

<title>TransIndia unveils ‘Meridian’ in Sion&#45;Matunga Corridor</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/transindia-unveils-meridian-in-sion-matunga-corridor</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/transindia-unveils-meridian-in-sion-matunga-corridor</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai, June 18, 2026: TransIndia Group announced the launch of TransIndia Meridian,
a landmark residential development in the Sion-Matunga Corridor, a
neighbourhood where Mumbai&#039;s rich cultural heritage, strong community fabric,
and urban connectivity converge. Conceived as an integrated residential
destination, Meridian seeks to complement this unique setting with contemporary
design, curated lifestyle experiences, and modern luxury.

Located in the Sion-Matunga Corridor, one
of the most sought after locations in Central Mumbai, the project is spread
across 3.2 acres. The corridor has witnessed consistent real estate price
appreciation over the years, driven by its central location, established social
infrastructure, and growing connectivity upgrades. Meridian has been designed
as a destination in the heart of this stretch that reflects the evolving
aspirations of urban homebuyers. With its blend of spacious residences,
landscaped environments, lifestyle amenities, and strategic connectivity, the
project aims to offer a contemporary living experience while benefiting from
the enduring appeal of a neighbourhood that has long been synonymous with
culture, education, and community living.

Meridian comprises six elegant towers
featuring spacious 2 and 3-BHK residences, expansive views of the city and bay,
multi-level parking, premium retail frontage, and Vastu-aligned layouts. Every
aspect of the development has been envisioned to create a living experience
that is both sophisticated and deeply connected to its environment.

At the heart of the project lies a
carefully curated lifestyle ecosystem designed to enrich everyday living.
Landscaped podium greens, inviting social spaces, and over 50 lifestyle
amenities have been woven into the development to create opportunities for
recreation, wellness, and community engagement.

The grand clubhouse serves as a vibrant
social and wellness hub, offering a fitness plaza, gymnasium, multipurpose
hall, banquet facilities, indoor games room, mini theatre, VR room, salon and
spa, alongside dedicated spaces for children and families. Across the podium level,
residents will discover a series of thoughtfully designed experiences,
including a Zen garden, cricket turf, movie lounge, BBQ area, swing-climb
plaza, trampoline garden, and landscaped walkways that encourage connection and
leisure.

Elevating the experience further are
Meridian&#039;s sky-level amenities. Here, residents can unwind amid open skies and
sweeping views, with access to a yoga lawn, swimming pool, party lawn, cabana
seating, hammock plaza, crossfit gym, and a star-gazing deck that transforms everyday
moments into memorable experiences.

The Sion-Matunga Corridor remains one
of Mumbai&#039;s most distinctive residential districts, and as
infrastructure upgrades and urban renewal gather pace, the neighbourhood is
increasingly emerging as a sought-after location that combines the comfort of
an established locality with the promise of future growth.

Meridian is strategically positioned within
this ecosystem, offering easy access to landmarks such as Five Gardens, Shivaji
Park, Phoenix Palladium, and R City malls, leading institutions including Don
Bosco High School, SIES College, KJ Somaiya Hospital and Medical College, VJTI
Institute, and ICT Mumbai. Situated at one of Mumbai&#039;s most centrally connected
locations, Meridian benefits from proximity to the Central, Western, and
Harbour suburban railway corridors, enabling effortless travel across the city.
Its strategic location is further reinforced by connectivity through the
Eastern and Western Express Highways, Sion-Dharavi Link Road, Sion-BKC Flyover,
and onward access to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, ensuring smooth travel to major
commercial hubs, including BKC, Lower Parel, Fort, and SEEPZ-MIDC. Upcoming
metro corridors and proximity to both Mumbai and Navi Mumbai airports further
add to its connectivity advantage.

Commenting on the launch, Rajendra M.
Rajan- Founder, TransIndia Group said, “Certain
neighbourhoods possess a timeless quality that cannot be recreated.
The Sion-Matunga Corridor is one such belt that has a deeply rooted
sense of belonging. Meridian has been envisioned as a natural extension of this
aspect. Rather than simply building residences, our objective with Meridian has
been to create an address that celebrates the spirit of the neighbourhood while
introducing a lifestyle that reflects the aspirations of a new generation of
homeowners. We believe the finest developments are those that become part of a
locality&#039;s story, and this is a project designed keeping that very philosophy
in mind.”

The TransIndia Group has, over the past 15
years, built a reputation based on its foundation of credibility, consistency,
and customer-centric development. It has delivered over 12 lakh sq. ft., has
more than 55 lakh sq. ft. under development, has served over 1,000 families,
and has rehabilitated approximately 2,500 tenements. The group continues to
expand its footprint across Mumbai through projects that prioritise both
quality and long-term value creation.

The TransIndia Meridian represents the
latest expression of that vision of creating a landmark address where the
heritage of Sion-Matunga, the aspirations of contemporary homebuyers, and
the promise of Mumbai&#039;s future come together to create a truly distinctive
address.

<title>FNP Unveils Its Father’s Day 2026 Collection ‘He’s The Reason’ — A Thoughtful Celebration of Love, Legacy, and Everyday Moments</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, June 2026:
India’s leading gifting brand FNP (Ferns N Petals) announces the launch of its
Father’s Day 2026 Collection, built around the evocative theme “He’s The
Reason.”

At the heart of this
theme lies a simple yet powerful insight—fathers are often the quiet force
behind who we become. From shaping our values and resilience to influencing our
ambitions, humour, and sense of security, their presence is deeply felt, even
if not always openly expressed. With “He’s The Reason,” FNP aims to
bring this unspoken gratitude to the forefront, encouraging people to
acknowledge and celebrate the man who has been the reason behind so many
defining moments in their lives.

This thought directly
informs the collection, where every product has been curated as a medium of
expression—designed not just to be gifted, but to communicate emotion, memory,
and personal connection. The collection moves beyond transactional gifting to
enable more meaningful gestures that reflect individual relationships and
shared experiences.

This year, FNP approaches
Father’s Day with a more editorial and emotionally driven lens, transforming
the occasion into a deeply expressive celebration. The collection brings
together a diverse and contemporary assortment of gifts across categories
including elegant floral arrangements, Father’s Day cakes, personalised gifts,
plants, gourmet hamper, accessories, and thoughtfully designed combos—each
crafted to blend emotion with utility.

Among the highlights is
FNP’s distinct blue-themed floral collection, created to give Father’s
Day a unique and contemporary visual identity. Featuring arrangements such as The
Blue Classic Tribute, Dad’s Blue Smile Bouquet, and Blue Orchid Tribute
for Dad, these designs symbolise calm strength, dependability, and quiet
elegance—qualities often associated with fatherhood—thereby reinforcing the
central theme.

Personalisation
continues to play a key role in bringing the idea of “He’s The Reason”
to life. The collection includes a wide range of customised products such as
photo mugs, LED lamps, table clocks, and cakes that allow customers to add
names, photographs, and personal messages. These memory-led offerings are
designed to help express emotions that often go unsaid, making each gift a
reflection of a unique story.

Further elevating the
experience, the collection also features premium offerings under FNP Luxe,
including artisanal cakes, gourmet hampers, and refined gift sets such as The
Gilded Gentleman, The Coffee Table, and Blue Velvet. Crafted with a
focus on elegance, storytelling, and craftsmanship, the Luxe range caters to
customers seeking an aspirational yet meaningful gifting experience.

Reflecting evolving
consumer behaviour, FNP has observed a clear shift in Father’s Day gifting
trends. Customers today are moving towards more intentional and expressive
choices—seeking gifts that capture shared memories, celebrate individuality,
and create lasting moments. The idea of gifting is no longer just about the
product, but about the emotion and story it carries—making “He’s The Reason”
both a campaign thought and a consumer truth.

The Fathers day gift collection has
been thoughtfully curated across multiple price points, ranging from ₹249 to
₹9,000, ensuring accessibility for a wide spectrum of customers. In
addition, FNP offers customised corporate gifting solutions, enabling
organisations to celebrate employees who are fathers through curated hampers,
personalised merchandise, and branded gifting experiences.

Supported by seamless
ordering and reliable delivery services, FNP continues to make celebration
convenient and effortless, helping customers express love and gratitude
regardless of distance.

Commenting on the
launch, Avi Kumar, CMO, FNP, said, “Father’s Day is an important
occasion that gives us an opportunity to celebrate the silent strength and
unwavering support that fathers provide. With ‘He’s The Reason,’ we wanted to
bring alive a thought that resonates deeply with people—acknowledging fathers
as the reason behind so many of our values, memories, and milestones. This
collection has been designed to help customers express that gratitude in a way
that feels personal, meaningful, and memorable.”

With this launch, FNP
reinforces its position as a trusted gifting partner and the leading
destination for celebrations across the country, backed by one of the widest
and quickest delivery networks. The Father’s Day 2026 Collection encourages
consumers to celebrate and thank the fathers who shape their lives every day.

<title>EXIM Logistics Promotes Health &amp;amp; Sustainability Through Steel Water Bottle Distribution Drive for Local Drivers</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Bhubaneswar, June 2026 : In a meaningful step towards
promoting public health and environmental sustainability, EXIM Logistics
Private Limited has undertaken a Pan-India initiative to distribute stainless
steel water bottles among local drivers operating at transport hubs, industrial
locations, and logistics corridors across various working sites.

Company Website - http://www.eximlogistics.in/

The initiative was launched in response to increasing
awareness regarding the potential health concerns associated with the prolonged
use of low-quality plastic water bottles, especially during the scorching
summer months. By encouraging the use of durable steel bottles, EXIM Logistics
aims to support healthier hydration practices while reducing plastic waste in
the transport ecosystem.

As part of the campaign, hundreds of local truck drivers and
transport workers were provided with reusable stainless steel water bottles at
various operational locations. The initiative has been widely appreciated by
the driver community, who spend long hours on roads and at loading and
unloading points under challenging weather conditions. 

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Himadri Keshari Pattanaik,
Managing Director, EXIM Logistics Private Limited, said: 

&quot;At EXIM Logistics, we believe that businesses have a
responsibility beyond operations. Drivers play a vital role in keeping India&#039;s
supply chain moving, and their health and well-being deserve attention and
support. Through this initiative, we are encouraging healthier alternatives to
plastic bottles while promoting sustainable habits among the transport
community.&quot;

Linkedin - https://in.linkedin.com/company/exim-logistics-private-limited 

He further added:

 &quot;A simple steel
water bottle can make a meaningful difference. It helps reduce plastic
consumption, encourages safe drinking water practices, and contributes to a
cleaner environment. We are pleased to take this initiative across multiple
locations in India and remain committed to creating a positive impact in the
communities where we operate.&quot;

The campaign reflects EXIM Logistics&#039; continued commitment
to social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and community welfare. By
addressing a small yet significant aspect of daily life, the company hopes to

<description><![CDATA[ Monticle Glamps,
Kerala’s first 5-star luxury glamping resort nestled in the mist-laden hills of
Vagamon, has emerged as one of the most sought-after and highly rated
experiential stays in South India. Guests across travel platforms are
consistently awarding the property top scores, citing its rare combination of
unbridled natural beauty, world-class comfort, and deeply personalised
hospitality as the defining reason for their glowing testimonials.

Since its launch,
Monticle Glamps quickly became the top resort in vagamon and
has received a steady stream of five-star reviews on Google and TripAdvisor,
with guests repeatedly highlighting the uniqueness of staying inside a geodesic
dome glamp set against panoramic views of Vagamon’s green valleys, or
retreating into a Bali-inspired Eagle Eye Private Pool Villa that brings
the warmth of island luxury to the cool mountain air of Kerala. Reviewers
consistently describe the experience as “unlike anything else in Kerala” — a
sentiment that speaks to the resort’s deliberate vision of redefining what a
hill resort can be.

Guests Celebrate the
Stay, the Experiences, and the People

Customer reviews about Monticle
Glamps across platforms point to a consistent theme:
the experiences at Monticle Glamps go far beyond the rooms. Guests praise the
resort’s curated activity menu — from guided tea leaf plucking in the
estate’s own plantation, to off-road jeep safaris through Vagamon’s
iconic viewpoints including Kurisumala, Parunthumpara, and Pine Valley. Guests
on honeymoon packages frequently highlight private campfire evenings paired
with candle-lit dinners under the open Vagamon sky as moments they will carry
with them forever.

The resort’s team —
described by multiple reviewers as “warm, attentive, and genuinely caring” —
has emerged as a standout element of the guest experience. From the chefs who
conduct interactive cooking demonstrations using fresh, locally sourced
ingredients, to the hosts who go out of their way to customise birthday and
anniversary setups, the people of Monticle Glamps are as much a part of the
story as the landscape itself.

A Luxury Destination
for Couples, Families, and Corporate Groups in Vagamon, Kerala

What is striking about
the guest feedback at Monticle Glamps is the breadth of its appeal.
Honeymooners arrive seeking romance and seclusion; they find it in the Luxury rooms
and cottages -Jacuzzi Glamps and private pool villas and the resort’s Moonspell
Romance package. Families come looking for wholesome
adventure; they discover it through cycling trails, tea garden nature walks,
and the swimming pool positioned at the heart of a working tea plantation.
Corporate groups seeking offsite retreats are drawn by the resort’s
team-building activity programmes and the rare serenity of the Vagamon hills.

“We built Monticle
Glamps around a single belief — that the hills of Vagamon deserve a stay
experience as extraordinary as the landscape itself. The love our guests are
showing us is the validation that we got it right. Every review is a reminder
of why we do what we do.”

— Management, Monticle
Glamps

<title>Equanimity Learning Unveils ‘EquaL’: A Structured School Audit Framework Built for Sustainable Growth</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/equanimity-learning-unveils-equal-a-structured-school-audit-framework-built-for-sustainable-growth</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/equanimity-learning-unveils-equal-a-structured-school-audit-framework-built-for-sustainable-growth</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Equanimity
Learning launches ‘EquaL School Audit’, a structured framework to evaluate
institutional performance on the philosophy of ‘Rate. Realign. Rise.’

Pune, 18th June 2026 : As schools across India strive to align with the National Education
Policy (NEP) 2020 and evolving quality benchmarks, Equanimity Learning has
introduced EquaL (School Audit and Rating), a comprehensive
framework designed to help educational institutions assess, strengthen and
sustain excellence through evidence-based evaluation and strategic improvement.
Equanimity Learning is a forward-thinking educational platform co-founded by
Mr. Siddharth Rajgarhia and Mr. Gautam Rajgarhia, is on a mission to transform
the global education landscape.

Built on the philosophy of &quot;Rate.
Realign. Rise.&quot;, EquaL offers schools an independent, practitioner-led
audit that evaluates institutional performance across eight critical domains,
including Governance &amp; Strategic Leadership, Teaching-Learning Design &amp;
Delivery, Assessment &amp; Academic Progress, Student Wellbeing &amp; School
Culture, Parent &amp; Community Partnership, Operations &amp; Compliance,
Admissions &amp; School Experience and Continuous Improvement &amp;
Professional Development.

Equanimity Learning has successfully
completed audits across schools in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh. This
initial phase serves as a vital blueprint for a broader expansion.

Speaking about the initiative, Siddharth
Rajgarhia, Co-Founder, Equanimity Learning said, &quot;Running a school
demands constant attention and effort. But in the midst of managing everything,
it becomes difficult to pause and notice the gaps that quietly hold the school
back. EquaL is designed to bring structured clarity and actionable insights
that help schools grow with intention.&quot;

Recognising that academic excellence
extends beyond classroom instruction, EquaL adopts a 360-degree diagnostic
approach that examines the systems influencing student outcomes, leadership
effectiveness, teacher development, school governance, infrastructure, admissions
and community engagement. The framework is designed to help schools move from
reactive functioning to intentional, evidence-driven improvement.

Unlike conventional assessments that focus
solely on outcomes, EquaL evaluates whether schools are built on sustainable
systems rather than individual efforts. Through a blended audit methodology
comprising online document reviews, classroom walkthroughs, data triangulation
and stakeholder interviews, the framework provides a holistic picture of
institutional effectiveness while identifying institutional strengths,
operational blind spots and opportunities for long-term growth.

Gautam Rajgarhia, Co-Founder, Equanimity Learning added, &quot;Strong schools are
built on intent and effort. Sustainable growth happens when that effort is
translated into clear systems that work consistently beyond individuals. EquaL
empowers school leaders with a roadmap for long-term institutional
excellence.&quot;

The audit culminates in a five-tier rating
scale—Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond and Platinum, allowing schools to benchmark
their current standing while identifying clear pathways for improvement.

Beyond evaluation, EquaL offers a
structured 12-month improvement partnership that includes quick-win action
plans, domain-specific reports, aligned scorecards, strategic roadmaps,
periodic reviews and dedicated assessor support to ensure continuous progress.
The initiative aims to strengthen governance, teaching-learning practices,
student well-being, teacher development, admissions and parent-community
partnerships through measurable and actionable interventions.

Equanimity Learning believes that stronger
board results and better student outcomes are achieved by strengthening the
ecosystem around learning. By providing an evidence-backed audit, a scored
improvement roadmap and implementation support, EquaL enables institutions to
build consistency across classrooms, leadership, and the overall student
experience.

Grounded in NEP 2020, SQAAF, NABET
standards and international best practices, Equanimity Learning combines
educational expertise with practical implementation support, enabling schools
to build resilient systems, improve governance, enhance teaching-learning
practices and deliver sustained institutional excellence. By moving beyond compliance
to continuous improvement, EquaL aims to become a trusted quality assurance and
institutional development partner for schools seeking measurable and
sustainable growth.

About Equanimity Learning

Equanimity Learning is dedicated to
redefining education through a unique approach that emphasizes 1% daily
improvements. With a focus on AI integration, leadership development and
personalized training, the platform empowers educators and institutions to
achieve long-term sustainable growth. Its innovative programs are designed to
cater to diverse educational contexts, ensuring scalability and impact.

our interactive Messi mural - creating spaces where fans can come together and
celebrate their passion for the game. Our focus is on showing up in ways that
feel authentic, relevant, and true to the spirit of collective celebration that
defines the FIFA World Cup.”

<title>The Future of Lending Lies in Balancing Technology with Trust: Seeds Fincap MD on India&amp;apos;s Evolving Credit Landscape</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-future-of-lending-lies-in-balancing-technology-with-trust-seeds-fincap-md-on-indias-evolving-credit-landscape</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-future-of-lending-lies-in-balancing-technology-with-trust-seeds-fincap-md-on-indias-evolving-credit-landscape</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As India accelerates towards becoming a digitally
empowered economy, Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) are playing an
increasingly important role in expanding access to credit, particularly in
underserved and rural markets. In this interview with IANS, Mr. Subhash
Chandra Acharya, Managing Director and CEO of Seeds Fincap Private Limited,
shares his perspective on the future of India&#039;s lending ecosystem, the rise of
AI and climate finance, the importance of financial inclusion, and how Seeds
Fincap is working to bridge the country&#039;s credit gap through a combination of
technology, local engagement, and responsible lending.

1.What trends do you believe will define the next
decade for India&#039;s NBFC sector?

The next decade for India’s NBFC sector will be shaped
by four key trends:  technology, wider
product offerings, smarter workforce talent, and theme-based financing.

At SEEDS, we believe technology creates the greatest
value when it is combined with a human touch. Digital tools can improve speed
and efficiency, but trust and customer understanding will continue to be
critical, especially in financial inclusion.

We also see growing demand for more tailored financial
solutions that meet the specific needs of different customer segments. At the
same time, building agile and skilled will be essential as the sector evolves. 

Another important trend will be climate finance.
Financing clean energy, sustainable livelihoods, and climate-resilient smart
agriculture solutions will not only create 
social impact but also become an important growth opportunity for
responsible lenders. 

2. With increasing competition from fintech players,
how can traditional NBFCs stay relevant and agile?

 Traditional
NBFCs can stay relevant by embracing technology while preserving the strength
of their local presence. Fintech have brought speed and convenience, but many
customers still value personal relationship and local understanding. At SEEDS,
we believe in a ‘tech plus touch’ approach. Technology helps us improve
efficiency and customer experience, while our field presence helps us better
understand customer needs and local market realities. 

In my view, the institutions that successfully combine
digital innovation with human connection will be best positioned for the
future. 

3.If you had to identify one major opportunity and one
major challenge for India&#039;s lending ecosystem today, what would they be? 

One of the biggest opportunities in India’s lending
ecosystem is the huge untapped credit demand among individuals,
micro-enterprises, and underserved communities.

As India’s economy continues to grow, the need for
accessible and timely credit will increase significantly.

The biggest challenge is ensuring responsible lending
in an increasingly digital environment. Lenders must use technology wisely,
while maintaining strong risk management, data privacy and customer trust. At
SEEDS, we believe sustainable growth comes from expanding credit access
responsibly and keeping the customer at the centre of every decision. 

4.India&#039;s credit landscape is changing rapidly. What
do you believe will separate successful lenders from the rest over the next
decade? 

I believe successful lenders will be those that
balance technology with trust. While technology can improve efficiency and
reach, but customer still value relationship and reliability. 

Lenders that understand customer needs and serve
underserved markets responsibly will be best positioned for long term growth.
At SEEDS, we see sustainable lending as a combination of innovation, trust and
customer focus. 

5.There is a growing conversation around financial
inclusion, but are we truly reaching the last mile? What more needs to be done?


India has made meaningful progress in financial
inclusion through initiatives like Jan Dhan, Aadhar and Mobile Connectivity. It
has enabled the ground for financial empowerment now. We are certainly moving
closer to the last mile. However, in a country as vast and diverse as ours,
there is still significant ground to cover.

At SEEDS, we are consciously deepening our presence in
Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets and strengthening our local connect by hiring talent
from the communities we serve. 

We believe, true financial empowerment requires
localized financial solutions, customer trust and the right balance of
technology and human engagement. The opportunity is immense, and so is the
responsibility.

6.What advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs
looking to build businesses in the financial services sector? 

My advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is to remember
that financial services are an enabler to realize the potential of individual.
In long run you have to understand people and financial inclusion should not be
limited to numbers. Products and portfolios matter, but trust, empathy, and
integrity matter even more. Start with a vision, but remember that institutions
are built through discipline, consistency, and resilience. Use technology to
improve efficiency, but never lose the human touch. 

Most importantly, create value for your customers. In
financial services, trust is your most valuable asset, and long-term success
comes from building it consistently. At SEEDS, we strongly believe that
inclusion and profitability can go hand in hand when the intent is to create
meaningful and lasting impact.

7.AI is increasingly becoming a part of financial
services. How do you see emerging technologies shaping the future of lending?

 AI and emerging
technologies are set to make lending faster, smarter, and more efficient. They
improve credit assessment, risk management, fraud detection and customer
services.

At SEEDS, we are already leveraging AI-enabled
solutions in lead generation, customer support and collections to improve
efficiency and responsiveness. 

However, technology should complement, not replace,
human judgment. We believe the future of lending lies in combining technology
with trust and a strong human touch.

8.India is witnessing a rapid transformation in the
financial ecosystem. How do you see the role of NBFCs evolving in bridging the
country&#039;s credit gap? 

As India’s economy grows, NBFCs will have an
increasingly important role in bridging the country’s credit gap. A significant
section of the population, still lacks adequate access to formal finance. 

NBFCs have stronger local reach, and a deeper
understanding of customer needs. This allows them to serve segments that are
often overlooked by traditional lenders. 

At SEEDS, we believe the future lies in combining
technology with strong local engagement. NBFC that do this well will drive
financial empowerment and support India’s economic growth.

9.What have been some of the key milestones in Seeds
Fincap&#039;s journey so far? 

SEEDS  has
achieved several important milestones in a short period of time. 

Our cumulative disbursements have grown from ₹71 crore
in FY22 to over ₹1,600 crore in FY26, and our Assets Under Management has
crossed ₹700 crore. We have expanded our branch network from 24 to over 160
branches, significantly expanding our footprint in Tier 2, Tier 3, and rural
markets.

Today, we serve around 69,000 active clients through a
team of nearly 1,900 employees. 

We have also invested in technology and built moderate
in-house capabilities across key functions, including Business Analytics and
IT. For us, these milestones reflect not just growth, but our commitment to
delivering responsible finance. 

10.What sectors or customer segments are driving
growth for the company today? 

MSMEs continue to be the primary  growth drivers for SEEDS. We remain focused
on supporting small enterprises that create livelihoods and contribute to local
economic development. In addition, we are seeing growing opportunities in dairy
financing, climate finance (particularly rooftop solar installation) and WASH
infrastructure financing.  We are also
exploring new opportunities in EV financing and cluster-based financing for
non-agricultural livelihood sectors. At SEEDS, our focus is on providing
responsible finance that supports both economic growth and social impact. 

11.Seeds Fincap has been rapidly expanding its
footprint across rural and semi-urban India. Which new states or regions are
you targeting next, and how do you see this expansion helping small businesses
that banks usually overlook?

At SEEDS, we see significant growth opportunities in
East and South India. 

However, our expansion is never driven by geography
alone. We take a calibrated approach based on area surveys, on-ground
assessments, state-level performance indicators, and market data to better
understand local credit needs and business potential.

Our current focus is also on strengthening existing
operations. We aim to develop all our branches into full-service hub branches,
offering our complete range of loan products and serving customers more
effectively. 

Along with MSME financing, we are expanding into
climate finance, WASH infrastructure and gender-focused lending. 

SEEDS aims to provide timely finance that sustains
lives and livelihoods.

12.Looking ahead over the next few years, what is your
ultimate vision for Seeds Fincap’s role in bridging India&#039;s rural credit gap? 

Our vision is to make responsible finance accessible
to underserved communities across India. We want to support livelihoods, small
businesses and local economic growth. 

We will continue expanding our reach, strengthening
customer relationships and using technology responsibly. 

We aspire to be more than a lender. We want to be a
trusted financial partner that bridges the 
credit gap, sustains lives and livelihoods, and contributes meaningfully
to inclusive and sustainable growth. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Recognised
in the Power (Renewable) Sector for Excellence in Occupational Health &amp;
Safety Across its 4.8 GW Manufacturing Operations

Gurugram,
17 June 2026 : Saatvik Green Energy Limited, one of India&#039;s
leading integrated renewable energy companies, has been conferred the Golden
Peacock Occupational Health &amp; Safety Award 2026 in the Power (Renewable)
Sector by the Institute of Directors (IOD), India. The award is among the
country&#039;s most prestigious recognitions for corporate excellence and
acknowledges organizations that demonstrate outstanding commitment to workplace
safety, employee well-being, and continuous improvement in occupational health
and safety performance.

The
recognition reflects Saatvik&#039;s unwavering commitment to fostering a
safety-first culture across its solar PV module manufacturing operations in
Ambala, Haryana. With a large workforce comprising employees and contract
workers operating in a highly dynamic manufacturing environment, the Company
has consistently embedded safety into every aspect of its operations through
strong leadership commitment, robust governance systems, employee engagement,
and technology-enabled risk management.

Commenting
on the recognition, Mr. Prashant Mathur, CEO, Saatvik Green Energy Limited,
said: &quot;At Saatvik, safety is not a compliance
requirement or a business priority, it is a core value embedded in every
decision we make. As we continue to expand our manufacturing footprint and
contribute to India&#039;s clean energy transition, our foremost responsibility is
to ensure that every employee and contractor returns home safely each day. This
recognition reflects the collective efforts of our workforce in building a proactive
safety culture driven by leadership commitment, employee participation,
continuous learning, and technology-led risk management. From AI-enabled safety
monitoring and predictive maintenance to robust governance systems and
extensive workforce training, we are committed to setting new benchmarks in
occupational health and safety. We are honoured to receive the Golden Peacock
Occupational Health &amp; Safety Award 2026 and remain steadfast in our pursuit
of a zero-harm workplace.&quot;

at Saatvik is supported by a comprehensive Occupational Health &amp; Safety
Management System aligned with ISO 45001 standards and integrated into the
Company&#039;s overall governance framework. Occupational health and safety
performance is regularly reviewed by senior leadership and forms an integral
part of the Company&#039;s ESG governance architecture.

The
Company has adopted a technology-driven approach to workplace safety.
Digital-enabled visual inspection systems help identify manufacturing defects
that could potentially lead to electrical or fire-related risks. Real-time
video analytics monitor PPE compliance and unsafe behaviours, while predictive
maintenance systems identify equipment-related risks before they escalate into
incidents. These initiatives are further supported by structured processes such
as Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA), Job Safety Analysis (JSA),
Permit-to-Work systems, Behaviour-Based Safety programmes, and Management of
Change protocols.

Employee
participation remains central to Saatvik&#039;s safety culture. Through safety
committees, suggestion schemes, toolbox talks, recognition programmes, and
continuous training initiatives, employees and contract workers actively
contribute to hazard identification, risk reduction, and workplace
improvements. The Company also maintains 100 percent safety training coverage
across its workforce, reinforcing competency and awareness at all
organizational levels.

Saatvik&#039;s
safety performance has delivered measurable outcomes. Over the last two years,
the Company has maintained Zero Lost Time Injuries (LTI), achieved a
significant reduction in Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR), reduced
incident-related downtime, and strengthened workforce capability through more
than 4,700 annual training hours. The Company has also reported zero
compensation claims, zero equipment damage incidents, and no regulatory
penalties or notices related to occupational health and safety.

The
Company&#039;s safety systems and performance have been independently validated
through ISO 45001 certification and a Bronze Medal from EcoVadis, placing the
Company among the top-performing organizations globally on ESG parameters.

The
Golden Peacock Occupational Health &amp; Safety Award is conferred annually by
the Institute of Directors (IOD), India, and is widely regarded as a benchmark
for excellence in workplace health and safety. The selection process involves a
rigorous multi-stage assessment, including independent evaluation, peer review,
and final adjudication by an eminent jury chaired by Hon&#039;ble Justice Uday U.
Lalit, Former Chief Justice of India, along with distinguished leaders from
public administration, industry, law, sustainability, and governance.

<description><![CDATA[ &quot;A
Single Donation Can Make a Life-Changing Difference&quot; Bengaluru Responds
with an Outpouring of Generosity

Bengaluru,
June 17, 2026 : In a heartfelt demonstration of community
spirit and civic responsibility, Lulu Mall Rajajinagar, Bengaluru and Msquare
Groups successfully hosted a Blood Donation Camp on June 14, 2026 World Blood
Donor Day at its South Atrium, commencing at 11:00 AM. The event witnessed an
enthusiastic response from shoppers, mall staff, and residents of Rajajinagar
and surrounding neighbourhoods, all united by a single powerful purpose: to
give the gift of life.

With
200+ units of blood collected, customers also engaged themselves with the live
band performance and evening filled with fun and entertainment. Aligned with
the global theme of World Blood Donor Day which honours voluntary, unpaid blood
donors and highlights the critical need for safe blood supplies the camp
reaffirmed Lulu Mall Bengaluru&#039;s commitment to using its platform as a force
for social good, beyond retail and commerce.

Blood
is one of the most precious resources in modern healthcare and one that cannot
be manufactured. Every two seconds, someone in India requires blood. Patients
undergoing surgeries, accident victims, mothers during childbirth, and
individuals battling chronic illnesses such as thalassaemia and cancer are
among the millions who depend on the generosity of voluntary blood donors each year.

India
faces a significant annual blood deficit, with demand consistently outpacing
supply. Voluntary blood donation especially through community-level drives such
as the one hosted at Lulu Mall Rajajinagar plays a decisive role in bridging
this critical gap and ensuring hospitals and blood banks are adequately
stocked.

The
camp was strategically positioned at the mall&#039;s North Atrium to maximise public
visibility and accessibility, allowing walk-in donors to participate
conveniently alongside their visit to the mall. A dedicated medical team
managed the donation process, ensuring the highest standards of safety,
hygiene, and donor welfare throughout the day.

The
response from Bengaluru&#039;s citizens was both heartening and inspiring. Donors
ranged across age groups from young professionals and college students to
homemakers and senior citizens all stepping forward to contribute to a cause
that transcends boundaries of community, caste, and creed. Mall staff and LuLu
Group employees also participated in large numbers, setting a spirited example
for visitors.

First-time
donors were especially welcomed and guided through the process by the medical
team on site, helping dispel myths and anxieties around blood donation, and
fostering a culture of regular, voluntary giving.

&quot;Blood
donation is an act of pure humanity one that costs nothing but a few minutes of
your time, yet can mean the difference between life and death for someone in
need. At Lulu Mall, we are proud to provide a space where our community comes
together not just to shop, but to serve. Today&#039;s overwhelming turnout is a
testament to the generous spirit of Bengaluru&#039;s people, and we are committed to
making such initiatives a regular part of our community engagement.&quot; Said Mr.
Kiran V Puthran, General Manager, Lulu Mall Bengaluru.

The
Blood Donation Camp is part of Lulu Mall Rajajinagar&#039;s ongoing calendar of
community driven initiatives. In recent months, the mall has hosted a range of
impactful events including the &#039;My Step Towards Education 2026&#039; child labour
awareness event in partnership with the Karnataka Labour Department and Sparsha
Trust, the &#039;Rooted at LuLu&#039; World Environment Day sustainability initiative
featuring the &#039;Kasa = Kaasu&#039; recycling programme, and various cultural and
wellness drives all reflecting the Group&#039;s deep-rooted belief that great retail
destinations must also be responsible community anchors.

Lulu
Mall Bengaluru continues to invite citizens, organisations, and institutions to
collaborate in creating a healthier, more compassionate city.

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, India – June 17, 2026 : Alethea
Advisors, a fast-growing independent strategic transaction and corporate
advisory firm, has appointed Gyanendra N Pati (Gyan) as Chief Growth and
Marketing Officer (CGMO) and Gaurav Jain as Director, Head of M&amp;A and
Global Delivery, as the firm builds out its M&amp;A and cross-border advisory
capabilities.

Gyanendra, who brings 22 years of
experience across technology, BFSI, fintech, and global capability centres,
will lead the firm&#039;s growth strategy, brand positioning, and market expansion
in India and international markets. Gaurav, with more than two decades in
investment banking operations and M&amp;A advisory, will lead transaction
execution and the firm&#039;s offshore delivery operations across domestic and cross-border
engagements.

The appointments come as Alethea expands
beyond traditional advisory into integrated transaction execution, valuation,
IPO readiness, and global delivery — a model the firm is betting on as clients
increasingly seek execution capability alongside strategic counsel.

“The advisory industry is undergoing a
fundamental transformation. Clients today expect far more than traditional
consulting or transaction support — they seek strategic partners who can
combine execution capability, global delivery excellence, growth intelligence,
and market insight into one integrated model.” said Sumit Kumar,
Founder and Managing Director of Alethea Advisors, who was earlier associated
with Global Firms like Deloitte, KPMG, BDO &amp; Grant Thornton. “Gyan and
Gaurav bring exceptional leadership experience and complementary strengths that
significantly enhance our ability to scale globally while delivering measurable
value to clients.”

Gyan joins from a career spanning Acuity
Analytics, Moody’s, Infosys, and HP Inc., where he led global marketing
transformation and enterprise go-to-market programmes. &quot;Businesses today
want sharper guidance and execution certainty, especially as markets get more
complex,&quot; said Gyanendra N Pati as Chief Growth and Marketing
Officer. &quot;The opportunity here is to build an advisory brand that
helps organisations unlock value and scale with confidence.&quot;

Gaurav previously held leadership roles at
Moody&#039;s Corporation and Acuity Analytics, with experience across North America,
Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. &quot;There&#039;s real
opportunity for firms that pair institutional-quality analytics with agile
execution,&quot; said Gaurav Jain as Director, Head of M&amp;A and
Global Delivery. &quot;That&#039;s especially true in cross-border and growth-market
deals, where clients need a partner across the full transaction
lifecycle.&quot;

As part of its next phase of growth,
Alethea Advisors plans to further strengthen its capabilities across
cross-border M&amp;A advisory, strategic finance, valuation services, IPO and
capital markets readiness, offshore delivery and India market-entry advisory.
The firm also continues to expand its support for founders, growth-stage
businesses, investors and corporate clients pursuing growth, transformation and
expansion opportunities.

Headquartered in Bengaluru, Alethea
Advisors serves clients across industries and markets, partnering with
corporates, founders, investors and institutions on strategic transactions,
capital initiatives and business transformation programmes.

About Alethea Advisors

Alethea Advisors is an independent
strategic transaction and corporate advisory firm providing services across
M&amp;A advisory, valuation, fundraising, financial diligence, strategic
finance, IPO readiness, India market-entry strategy and transaction support.

create long-term business value through strategic advice and execution-focused

<title>‘Jagar Stri Shakticha, Samman Aaicha’ Pays Moving Tribute to Late Smt. Naval Indraman Singh on Her 78th Birth Anniversary</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Honouring every mother and woman who have
shaped family and community through love, simplicity, and selfless devotion

Pune,
17 June 2026 : Acharya Atre Rangmandir in Pune came alive as Priyadarshani
Group of Schools, one
of Maharashtra’s leading educational institutions, dedicated to delivering
quality, affordable, and holistic education hosted ‘Jagar Stri Shakticha,
Samman Aaicha’, an event commemorating what would have been the 78th birthday
of Late Shrimati Naval Indraman Singh. The morning was equal parts tribute and
celebration: a gathering of community to honour one woman’s remarkable life
and, through it, to recognise every mother and woman who has shaped a family, a
home, and a generation through quiet strength, unconditional love, and
extraordinary grace.

Held
as part of the 78th Birth Anniversary celebrations of Late Mrs. Naval Indraman
Singh, the event brought together students, parents, educators, community
members and distinguished guests at Acharya Atre Rangmandir, Pimpri, Pune. The
event was graced by Ms Taruna Indraman Singh, Founder, Priyadarshani Group of
Schools, Managing Trustees of Priyadarshani Group of Schools, including Dr.
Rajendra Singh, Dr. Jitendra Singh, Mr. Mahendra Singh, Mr. Narendra Singh and
Ms. Sarita Singh, along with educators, community leaders, parents and
students. 

The
programme featured renowned Marathi actors and performers Kushal Badrike and
Shreya Bugade, who have earned widespread popularity through the acclaimed
comedy show ‘Chala Hawa Yeu Dya’. Their presence added a celebratory and
engaging dimension to the occasion, drawing enthusiastic responses from the
audience. Reflecting the theme ‘Jagar Stri Shakticha, Samman Aaicha’ (Celebrate
Women’s Empowerment, Honour Mothers), the event paid tribute to the invaluable
contributions of women and mothers who shape families and communities through
love, resilience and selfless dedication. 

The
programme also showcased videos highlighting the growth and vision of
Priyadarshani Group of Schools, including Bramhapriya World School in New
Kalyani Nagar, which was launched last year, and Priyadarshani Learning Womb in
Charoli, which commenced operations this year. The presentations offered
attendees a glimpse into the institution&#039;s ongoing efforts to expand access to
quality education and holistic learning experiences for young learners. 

Addressing
the gathering, Mr. Vilas Madigeri, Former Corporator, PCMC, paid tribute to the
life and values of Late Smt. Naval Indraman Singh and emphasised the importance
of recognising and honouring the contributions of women and mothers who play a
pivotal role in shaping families, communities and society. 

Dr. Rajendra Indraman
Singh, Educationist &amp; Managing Trustee, Priyadarshani Group of Schools, “What
we witnessed today was something rare: a room full of people honouring not
power, not position, but pure human warmth. That is the truest measure of a
life well lived, and by that measure, Late Smt. Naval Indraman Singh lived
extraordinarily well.”

Throughout
the event, speakers reached into their memories of Late Smt. Naval Indraman
Singh to paint a portrait of a woman defined by genuine human connection. They
recalled how she could sit with a five-year-old child and enter that world
completely, and spend the same afternoon in warm, sincere conversation with an
eighty-year-old elder. Age was never a barrier for her because she recognised
what each person was truly seeking: to feel seen, to be heard, and to know that
they mattered. She gave that without hesitation to everyone she met.

Stories
from the tribute brought back her love of feeding people and her habit of
turning every meal into an act of welcome. Her choice to travel by
autorickshaw, despite having a car and driver at her disposal, was recalled as
a quietly telling detail. It was not a sacrifice. It was a statement of values,
offered without words and without effort, because for her, remaining grounded
and connected to ordinary life was as natural as breathing.

The
gathering of more than 600 attendees, including parents, students, teachers and
community members, responded with sustained applause and the atmosphere
throughout carried something that formal events rarely achieve: a sense of
genuine feeling, of a community honouring not an institution or an office, but
a person who had made their lives better simply by being in them. 

‘Jagar
Stri Shakticha, Samman Aaicha’ closed with a feeling of collective gratitude
for a life that had touched so many and a renewed appreciation for the women
and mothers who, like Late Smt. Naval Indraman Singh, give quietly and
completely, and ask for nothing in return.

<description><![CDATA[ Pune
(Maharashtra) [India], June 2026 : As consumer
preferences increasingly shift towards lightweight, versatile jewellery that
balances style and affordability, Chandukaka Saraf Jewels has unveiled RITI
2.0, the latest edition of its lightweight gold necklace collection,
alongside special festive offers for the auspicious occasions of Vat Purnima
and Guru Pushyamrut.

The
launch comes at a time when demand for contemporary gold jewellery is
witnessing steady growth, particularly among younger consumers seeking designs
that can transition seamlessly from festive celebrations to everyday wear. With
nearly two centuries of heritage in the jewellery industry, Chandukaka Saraf
Jewels continues to evolve its offerings in line with changing market trends
while preserving traditional craftsmanship.

RITI
2.0 features a curated range of contemporary gold necklaces, including both
long and short designs, with each piece weighing under 15 grams. The collection
has been designed to cater to modern consumers who value lightweight jewellery
without compromising on elegance, quality, or craftsmanship.

According
to the company, the collection blends heritage-inspired artistry with
contemporary aesthetics, offering designs suited for festive occasions, family
celebrations, professional settings, and daily wear. The emphasis on
lightweight formats also aligns with the growing preference for practical and
investment-friendly jewellery purchases.

To
mark the festive period, Chandukaka Saraf Jewels has announced a flat 30%
discount on making charges on gold jewellery purchases. The offer will be
valid from 18 June to 22 June 2026 across all Chandukaka Saraf Jewels
showrooms in Maharashtra, enabling customers to make purchases during one of
the most significant periods in the traditional jewellery-buying calendar.

Speaking
on the launch, a spokesperson for Chandukaka Saraf Jewels said, “Today’s
jewellery buyers seek a combination of design, versatility, value, and trust.
RITI 2.0 has been thoughtfully created to address these evolving expectations
while staying true to the craftsmanship and heritage that define our brand.
Launching the collection during Vat Purnima and Guru Pushyamrut allows us to
offer customers jewellery that complements both the festive spirit and modern
lifestyles.”

Industry
observers note that lightweight gold jewellery has emerged as one of the
fastest-growing segments within the organised jewellery market, driven by
rising gold prices, changing lifestyle preferences, and increasing demand for
wearable designs that offer both aesthetic appeal and long-term value.

With
its contemporary styling, lightweight appeal, and festive offers, RITI 2.0 is
expected to attract customers looking for jewellery that combines tradition,
practicality, and modern elegance.

The acquisition reinforces Puravankara’s strategy of
strengthening its presence across high-growth Bengaluru micro-markets through a
balanced mix of outright purchases and capital-efficient partnerships. The
upcoming residential development will cater to the growing demand for
thoughtfully designed homes in well-connected urban growth corridors.

Commenting on the development, Ashish Puravankara, Managing
Director, Puravankara Limited, said, “Bengaluru continues to be at the
centre of India’s residential growth story, supported by a strong economic
base, expanding infrastructure and sustained end-user demand. This acquisition

connectivity, planned infrastructure upgrades and expanding social amenities
are expected to further strengthen the corridor’s appeal as a residential and
commercial growth destination.

Mallanna Sasalu, CEO - South, Puravankara Limited, added, “This acquisition further consolidates our presence in
Bengaluru, our largest and most strategic market. North Bengaluru is

and genuine end-user demand. This project gives us the opportunity to create a
well-planned residential community that brings together scale, connectivity,
amenities and the quality of living that discerning homebuyers expect from
Puravankara.”

<description><![CDATA[ Forward this to someone who still hasn&#039;t figured out what to
gift their father. Father&#039;s Day 2026 is 21
June. You have days, not weeks.

There is a photograph sitting in my phone that I keep coming
back to.

My father, at a family lunch last year, glancing down at his
wrist mid-conversation. Nothing dramatic. He was just checking the time. But
that watch — a simple analog with a worn leather strap — was given to him by my
mother seventeen years ago. He has worn it almost every single day since.

He cannot tell you the movement type or the case diameter. What
he knows is who gave it to him, and why.

That is what a men&#039;s watch actually carries when it is given
with intention.

Why an Analog or
Automatic Watch Makes the Perfect Father&#039;s Day Gift

Men get ties. They get wallets. They get things they put in a
drawer.

A watch is different. It is on his wrist at 7am when he is
getting the kids ready, and at 10pm when he finally sits down. A watch from his
family is not a gift he opens once — it is something he looks at every single
day. Something he will mention, without any drama, when someone asks.

The best watches for men are not
the most expensive ones. They are the ones chosen for the specific man. This
guide covers every father type and every budget starting at Rs 4,999 — so you
leave knowing exactly what to buy.

Watch Trends for Men in 2026: Top Styles Under Rs 5000

Here is every gifting style worth considering this year, with
the father type each one fits.

1. Automatic Watch for Men

The automatic watch for men is the most searched and most gifted
category in men&#039;s watches right now. It runs on no battery, no charging, no app
— only on the movement of the wrist wearing it. The same engineering principle
has powered men&#039;s automatic wrist watches for over a century, unchanged because
it does not need to be.

The men&#039;s automatic wrist watch is made for
the father who fixed things rather than replacing them. Who taught you that
anything worth keeping requires attention. Who still owns tools from twenty
years ago because they were built right.

Sylvi&#039;s automatic watch for men collection
brings genuine mechanical movement to prices starting at Rs 4,999 — a price
point that once belonged only to imported brands. Up to 16% off this Father&#039;s
Day 2026.

Best for:
The father who values craftsmanship over convenience.

2. Skeleton Face Watch

The skeleton face watch — dial cut open to
reveal the movement working beneath — is one of the fastest-growing search
categories for watches for men in India this year. Every gear visible. Every
component turning. Nothing hidden behind a face.

For the father who spent years explaining how
engines work, how circuits connect, how systems run, a skeleton watch speaks
his language without you having to say a word.

This style used to live in the luxury watches
for men bracket only. Sylvi has brought the skeleton face watch under Rs 5,000
without sacrificing the dial transparency that makes it worth choosing. Up to
16% off through 21 June.

Best for:
The curious father. The engineer. The man who still reads the manual.

3. Analog Watch for Men 

The analog watch is having a quiet, confident
year in 2026. Men buying analog watches for men are not buying them out of
nostalgia. They are buying them because a watch that tells time clearly, looks
right in most situations, and asks nothing from the wearer is increasingly rare
— and increasingly valuable.

A clean men&#039;s watch analog from Sylvi —
readable dial, proportioned case, strap that sits properly on the wrist — works
at a job interview, a wedding, a school event, a Saturday lunch. The analog
wrist watch for men in Sylvi&#039;s Father&#039;s Day collection runs from slim dress
styles to sportier builds.

All starting at Rs 4,999. All up to 16% off,
ending 21 June.

Best for:
Any father. This is the most versatile pick in the entire guide. 

4.
Vintage Mens Wrist Watches

Thinner cases. Smaller dials. Leather or
canvas straps. Typography that references another era without announcing it.

Vintage mens wrist watches are for one
specific kind of father: the one who has dressed the same way for twenty years
because he figured it out early. Who owns good things and looks after them. Who
has never followed a trend and has never been behind one.

A vintage-inspired men&#039;s watch analog from
Sylvi matches how he already moves through the world. No update required. Up to
16% off this Father&#039;s Day.

Best for:
The father with permanent style. He will recognize it immediately.

5. Digital Watch for Men

Not every father wants a dial and two hands.
Some want the time — now, clearly, without reading anything. That is a completely
valid way to live, and an honest gift guide says so directly.

Sylvi&#039;s digital watch for men range has
improved significantly in case quality and display legibility. If your father
has worn a digital watch his whole life, do not talk him out of it. Get him a
noticeably better one — starting at Rs 4,999, up to 16% off.

Best for:
The father who has no patience for ambiguity — including on his wrist.

The First Real Watch for Your Son

Father&#039;s Day is also about watching your children grow.

The first proper men&#039;s watch a young man receives — at 16, at
graduation, when he starts his first job — is not just a watch. It is the watch
he measures every other watch against for years.

Sylvi&#039;s entry-level watch for men collection is built for
exactly this moment: clean designs that do not look like they were made for a
teenager, durable enough for daily wear, priced so the person giving it does
not have to stretch. If your son is starting out this year, a Sylvi watch is a
gift he will still have when he is your age.

Quartz vs Automatic: Which Watch Fits Your Father?

Most watches for men underRs 3,000 are quartz. That is not a
weakness.

A quartz watch keeps better time than most automatic watches,
runs on a battery, and needs almost no maintenance. For a father who wants a
watch that simply works every day without any input from him, quartz is the
practical answer.

The men&#039;s automatic wrist watch, on the other hand, is for the
father who appreciates what is inside — the movement, the engineering, the
craft of something mechanical.

The choice between quartz and automatic is not about quality. It
is about which man is wearing it. Both are in Sylvi&#039;s Father&#039;s Day 2026
collection, both under Rs 5,000, both up to 16% off through 21 June.

Stock on automatic watches and skeleton face watches moves fast
as 21 June approaches. If you are reading this now, you are in time — but only just.

Why Sylvi — and Why Made in India Matters

Sylvi is not a name that needs a foreign country behind it to
earn credibility. The brand has been designing and building watches for men in
Surat since 2015. What it has built over that decade is not just a product
range — it is a design approach that puts daily wearability above everything
else.

A Sylvi watch is not made to sit in a display case. It is made
to be on your father&#039;s wrist at 7am and at 10pm and everywhere in between.
Indian conditions. Indian wrists. A price point — starting at Rs 4,999 — that
fits the gifting decision most families are actually making.

Stop defaulting to imported names your father will not
recognize. Choose something built with the kind of craft that shows up in
everyday wear.

What a Good Watch Does After 21 June

The gifts that last are not the ones that photograph well at the
unwrapping. They are the ones still present six months later, on a regular
Tuesday afternoon, doing something small and useful.

Your father checking the time before a meeting. Glancing at his
wrist before he calls you back. Showing someone the watch when they ask, and
saying — without making anything of it — that his family gave it to him.

Your father gave you years. A watch that stays is a fair place
to start.

part of Navi Mumbai benefitted by infrastructure, connectivity and being high
on the social infrastructure rankings. The accessibility that Nova Ark has

<title>Why Dermatology&#45;Led Sunscreens Like UV Doux Are Reshaping India’s Skincare Conversations</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-dermatology-led-sunscreens-like-uv-doux-are-reshaping-indias-skincare-conversations</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-dermatology-led-sunscreens-like-uv-doux-are-reshaping-indias-skincare-conversations</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Science-backed sun care is becoming central
to modern preventive skincare in India.

For a long time, sunscreen occupied a
relatively limited space in Indian skincare routines. Most consumers associated
it with summer holidays, outdoor activities, or occasional protection from
tanning. Today, that perception is steadily changing. Across urban India,
sunscreen is increasingly being viewed through the lens of preventive skincare,
skin health, and long-term wellness.

This shift is being shaped by greater
awareness around pollution, rising UV exposure, pigmentation concerns,
premature ageing, sun sensitivity, and skin barrier protection. Dermatologists
and skincare professionals have consistently highlighted the impact of everyday
environmental exposure on skin health, encouraging consumers to adopt sunscreen
as a daily habit rather than a seasonal product.

At the same time, consumers are becoming
more selective about the kind of sunscreen they use. Texture, comfort,
ingredient philosophy, makeup compatibility, and dermatological credibility now
matter as much as SPF numbers. This has created growing interest in brands that
combine scientific formulation with everyday usability.

Among the leading dermatologist-recommended
sunscreen brands driving this evolution is UV Doux, positioned as India’s No.1
Dermatologist-Recommended Sunscreen Brand*. The brand reflects a broader
movement within Indian skincare toward evidence-based, dermatologist-led
product development.

Designed for modern skincare layering and
everyday wear, UV Doux formulations are increasingly recognised for their
lightweight textures, invisible finish, no white cast experience, and
suitability across Indian climatic conditions.

IQVIA secondary sales audit – MAT (Aug
2024 – Sept 2025)

The Shift Toward Preventive Skincare

The rise of preventive skincare has become
one of the defining trends within India’s beauty and wellness industry. Younger
consumers in particular are approaching skincare with greater awareness and
consistency, often focusing on maintaining skin health over corrective
treatments alone.

Sun protection has naturally become part of
this conversation. Concerns around tanning and pigmentation continue to drive
sunscreen adoption, but awareness has expanded to include broader issues such
as photoageing, environmental stress, pollution exposure, and overall skin
maintenance.

This growing awareness is also influencing
purchasing behaviour. Consumers are increasingly looking for daily sunscreen
products that suit Indian skin tones and weather conditions while remaining
comfortable enough for everyday use.

Heavy textures, white cast, excessive
oiliness, and layering issues are becoming less acceptable to consumers who now
expect sunscreen to integrate seamlessly into modern skincare routines.

Dermatology Credibility Is Influencing
Consumer Choice

One of the noticeable changes in India’s
skincare ecosystem is the increasing role of dermatologists in shaping consumer
trust. As skincare information becomes more accessible online, many consumers
are also becoming cautious about exaggerated beauty claims and trend-driven
formulations.

This has led to stronger demand for
products associated with dermatological credibility, formulation safety, and
scientific research. Brands that focus on clinically informed development are
increasingly finding relevance among consumers seeking dependable and
skin-compatible skincare solutions.

According to Dr. Kiran Sethi, cosmetic
dermatologist, “Patients today are increasingly looking for sunscreen
formulations that are lightweight, non-greasy, and suitable for long daily wear
across Indian weather conditions. Consistency improves significantly when
sunscreens feel comfortable and blend easily into everyday skincare routines.”

UV Doux has built its identity within this
dermatology-led segment through formulations designed around both efficacy and
user experience. Its sunscreen range includes
matte and fluid textures aimed at addressing different skin preferences and
daily wear expectations.

The brand’s formulations are designed to
support a wide range of skin concerns, including oily skin, acne-prone skin,
sensitive skin, and combination skin - categories that continue to influence
sunscreen purchasing decisions among Indian consumers.

Recognised as a non-greasy sunscreen
suitable for humid weather conditions, UV Doux also focuses on cosmetic
elegance and wearability, helping support better sunscreen compliance among
consumers.

Global Research and Expanding
International Presence

The brand also draws from global formulation capabilities,
including research support from UK-based labs, reflecting the growing
intersection between international skincare science and Indian consumer needs.

Its product development philosophy is
aligned with globally benchmarked skincare standards while remaining tailored
for Indian climatic conditions and skin concerns.

Beyond India, UV Doux has expanded its
presence across 63+ countries, highlighting the growing international relevance
of Indian dermo-cosmetic innovation backed by scientific research and dermatologist-led
skincare development.

Texture and Wearability Are Driving
Modern Sunscreen Innovation

The premium sunscreen category today is
evolving beyond basic protection claims. Increasingly, consumers are evaluating
sunscreens based on how they feel on the skin and how consistently they can be
used in everyday life.

This has made texture innovation a major
focus area across the skincare industry. Lightweight finishes, breathable
formulations, invisible finish technology, and non-greasy wearability are becoming
key markers of modern sunscreen development.

The growing popularity of matte and fluid
sunscreens also reflects changing consumer lifestyles, where skincare products
are expected to perform effectively while remaining cosmetically elegant and
easy to wear throughout the day without disrupting makeup compatibility or
skincare layering routines.

The Future of Sun Care in India

India’s broader skincare market is
witnessing a visible movement toward evidence-based beauty and dermatology-led
innovation. Consumers today are paying closer attention to ingredients,
research, safety standards, and long-term skin health outcomes.

As sunscreen adoption continues to grow,
brands operating within the scientific skincare space are likely to play a
larger role in shaping how Indian consumers approach preventive skincare in the
years ahead.

In many ways, the conversation around
sunscreen is no longer only about protection from the sun. It is increasingly
becoming part of a larger shift toward informed, consistent, and health-focused
skincare habits.

<description><![CDATA[  

Gadhinglaj (Maharashtra) [India], June
2026: Strengthening its retail presence in
Maharashtra, Chandukaka Saraf Jewels has announced the inauguration of its new
Prime Store in Gadhinglaj, Kolhapur district, on June 18, 2026. The new outlet
marks the brand’s 21st showroom and reflects its continued expansion strategy
aimed at bringing premium jewellery offerings closer to customers across
emerging markets.

With a legacy spanning nearly two
centuries, Chandukaka Saraf Jewels has established itself as one of the
region’s trusted jewellery brands, known for its craftsmanship, design
innovation, and customer-centric approach. The launch of the Gadhinglaj
showroom is expected to enhance access to a wide range of gold, diamond, and
precious jewellery collections for customers in the town and neighbouring
areas.

Located at Nehru Chowk, opposite SBI Bank,
the new Prime Store has been designed to provide a modern jewellery shopping
experience, combining contemporary retail infrastructure with personalized
customer service. The showroom will showcase an extensive portfolio of
traditional and contemporary jewellery designs catering to diverse consumer
preferences and occasions.

To commemorate the inauguration, the
company has announced a series of limited-period launch offers aimed at
enhancing customer engagement during the opening week. Customers purchasing
gold jewellery can avail a flat 20% discount on making charges, while diamond
jewellery buyers will receive a flat 100% discount on making charges.

In addition, customers making purchases
worth ₹50,000 or more will become eligible for a mega lucky draw featuring
prizes such as a TVS scooter, smartphones, and gift vouchers. The promotional
campaign will run from June 18 to June 22, 2026, across the newly launched
showroom.

The company has also introduced special
benefits for participants in its jewellery savings schemes. Investors enrolled
in these schemes, as well as jewellery purchasers during the inaugural period,
will receive assured gifts as part of the celebrations.

Commenting on the expansion, Directors
Siddharth Shah and Aditya Shah said that the new showroom reflects the
company’s commitment to strengthening its customer reach while delivering a
jewellery-buying experience built on trust, transparency, quality, and
innovation. They noted that the brand remains focused on offering customers a
wide selection of jewellery backed by superior craftsmanship and service
excellence.

The launch comes amid continued growth in
demand for organised jewellery retail in Tier-II and Tier-III markets, where
consumers are increasingly seeking branded jewellery backed by quality assurance
and transparent pricing practices. Industry trends indicate that expanding
retail networks and localized customer engagement initiatives are becoming key
growth drivers for established jewellery brands.

Customers can explore the new collection
and avail the festive benefits at Chandukaka Saraf Jewels showrooms across
Maharashtra and Karnataka during the offer period.

With the inauguration of its Gadhinglaj
Prime Store, Chandukaka Saraf Jewels aims to further deepen its connection with
customers in western Maharashtra while reinforcing its position in the region’s

<description><![CDATA[  

77 years. One family. One obsession. One
cup. — South India’s most loved filter coffee house is honoured for three
generations of unbroken craft, from a single blend in 1949 to homes, stores and
tables across the world.

National, 16th June, 2026: Cothas
Coffee Co., the Bengaluru-rooted filter coffee house that has been part
of South India’s mornings since 1949, has been awarded the Legacy Continuity
Award at the FKCCI MSME Excellence Awards 2026. The honour
celebrates a rare achievement in Indian enterprise — three generations of
unbroken craft, carried forward without ever losing the taste, warmth and trust
that founder Sri Krishnaiah Chetty built the name on more than seven decades
ago.

The award was presented by the Union
Minister of State for MSME Smt. Shobha Karandlaje and former Karnataka
Deputy Chief Minister Dr. C.N. Ashwath Narayan at the FKCCI MSME Excellence
Awards 2026 — Industry’s flagship platform recognising the state’s most
distinguished micro, small and medium enterprises.

Cothas Coffee Co. began in 1949, when Sri
Krishnaiah Chetty set out to make a filter coffee so consistent that families
would come to know it by its aroma alone. Seventy-seven years on, that promise
is kept the same way it always has been — with beans sourced from the estates
of Kodagu and Chikmagalur, the heart of Karnataka’s coffee country, and roasted
and blended at the company’s 1,00,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Jigani,
on the outskirts of Bengaluru.

Today, Cothas Coffee Co. serves customers
through more than 75 company-owned (COCO) stores, general and
modern trade, quick commerce and its own retail network, with a product range
spanning filter coffee powder, decoctions, instant coffee and cold beverages.
Its Liqcaf vending machine business brings freshly brewed coffee,
extending the brand into the everyday spaces where people pause for a cup.

“When Sri Krishnaiah Chetty founded
Cothas Coffee Co. in 1949, his idea was  simple— an honest cup of filter
coffee, made with care and offered with warmth. Seventy-seven years and three
generations later, that idea is still what gets us going. We are deeply
honoured by the Legacy Continuity Award, but we do not see it as ours alone. It
belongs to our founder, to the growers in Kodagu and Chikmagalur who have stood
with us for decades, and above all to the millions of families who have made
Cothas a part of their daily ritual. Their trust is the real legacy we are
continuing,” said Mr. C.K. Sreenathan,
Chairman, Cothas Coffee Co.

“Inheriting a 77-year-old name teaches
you that tradition is not preserved by keeping it under glass — it stays alive
only when it stays relevant. The filter coffee in the cup is exactly what it
has always been. What has changed is how we put it in your hands: a fresh pack
delivered through quick commerce in minutes, a familiar taste reaching an
Indian household in Toronto or Dubai, a freshly brewed cup from a Liqcaf
machine in between office meetings or a cold beverage that carries the same
Cothas soul in a form the next generation reaches for. Honouring where we come
from while meeting the next generation where they are — that is the balance
this award recognises, and the one we hold ourselves to,” said Mr. C.S. Nitin, Managing Partner, Cothas Coffee
Co., (representing the third generation of the family business.)

The brand carries the taste of South India
well beyond its shores. Cothas Coffee Co. exports to the United States, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the UAE and Malaysia, keeping the global
Indian diaspora connected to a flavour that, for many, simply tastes like home.
For Cothas Coffee Co., the Legacy Continuity Award is not just a recognition
but a reminder to keep three generations of craft alive in every cup, for the
generations still to be served.

Nainital, Uttarakhand : Nainital-based
singer and devotee Narendra Kumar has released a devotional bhajan titled “Dil
Main Hai Sabke,” paying tribute to the revered spiritual master Neeb Karori
Baba, whose teachings continue to inspire millions of followers across India

associated with Baba&#039;s teachings. Through its lyrics and devotional
composition, the song conveys a message of universal love and spiritual unity.

 

Neeb Karori Baba&#039;s influence extends far
beyond India. His ashram at Kainchi Dham in Uttarakhand has become a globally
recognized spiritual destination, attracting devotees and seekers from across
the world. Over the years, the saint&#039;s legacy has drawn international attention
through its association with prominent figures such as Steve Jobs and Mark
Zuckerberg, both of whom have spoken about the significance of Kainchi Dham in
their spiritual journeys.

 

Speaking about the release, Narendra Kumar
said, &quot;‘Dil Main Hai Sabke’ is my humble offering at the sacred feet of
Baba. His teachings remind us that love and service are universal values that
connect people beyond all boundaries. Through this bhajan, I hope listeners
experience the peace, faith, and compassion that continue to inspire millions
of devotees.&quot;

 

The release follows the recent Foundation
Day celebrations of Neeb Karori Baba, during which thousands of devotees
gathered at Kainchi Dham and other associated centres to pay tribute to the
revered saint.

 

With “Dil Main Hai Sabke,” Narendra Kumar
aims to share Baba&#039;s timeless message with a wider audience through the medium

cultural heritage.

<title>TourGrids Launches Free Travel Leads Platform to Empower Travel Agencies Across India</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/tourgrids-launches-free-travel-leads-platform-to-empower-travel-agencies-across-india</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/tourgrids-launches-free-travel-leads-platform-to-empower-travel-agencies-across-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India : TourGrids today announced the launch of a free travel
leads platform designed to connect travel agencies across India with genuine,
ready-to-book customers. The new marketplace gives agencies of every size
direct access to verified travel inquiries at no cost, removing one of the
biggest barriers to growth in the travel industry.

About TourGrids

TourGrids is a technology-driven travel company on a
mission to make customer acquisition simple, transparent, and affordable for
travel businesses. By bridging the gap between travelers seeking trusted
experts and agencies seeking new clients, TourGrids aims to become India&#039;s
go-to destination for high-quality travel agency leads.

How the Free Travel
Leads Platform Works

The platform enables travel agencies to sign up, create
a profile, and, upon verification, start receiving travel leads tailored to
their services. Once onboarded, agencies gain access to a steady stream of
travel inquiries, including domestic holidays, family vacations, international
tours, honeymoons, and group travel packages.

Each lead represents a real customer actively looking to
plan a trip, helping agencies focus their time on conversions rather than cold
outreach. The marketplace is built to match the right inquiries with the right
agencies, ensuring relevance and improving the likelihood of successful
bookings. With no subscription fees or hidden charges, agencies can scale their
pipeline of free travel leads without upfront financial risk.

Solving an Expensive
Industry Problem

Lead acquisition has long been a costly challenge for
travel agencies. Many businesses spend heavily on digital advertising,
third-party portals, and pay-per-lead services—often paying significant sums
for leads that may never convert. Smaller agencies, in particular, struggle to
compete against larger players with bigger marketing budgets.

TourGrids addresses this pain point head-on by offering
travel leads completely free of cost. This levels the playing field, enabling
independent agents and established agencies alike to grow their customer base
without draining their marketing spend.

Leadership
Perspective

&quot;Travel agencies shouldn&#039;t have to choose between
expensive marketing and business growth,&quot; said a TourGrids spokesperson.
&quot;Our free travel leads platform was built to remove that burden entirely,
so agencies can focus on what they do best—creating unforgettable journeys for
their customers.&quot;

&quot;We believe access to quality travel inquiries
should be open to everyone in the industry,&quot; the spokesperson added.
&quot;By making travel agency leads free, we&#039;re helping thousands of agencies
across India unlock new opportunities.&quot;

Get Started Today

Travel agencies interested in receiving free travel
leads can sign up now and begin connecting with potential customers right away.
To learn more or register, visit:

•

With its commitment to transparency, affordability, and
meaningful connections, TourGrids is poised to transform how travel agencies
across India find and serve their customers. ]]></description>

<title>Manba Finance Expands Its Footprint in Southern India, Enters into Strategic Partnership with Sreesastha (Nammaloan)</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/manba-finance-expands-its-footprint-in-southern-india-enters-into-strategic-partnership-with-sreesastha-nammaloan</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/manba-finance-expands-its-footprint-in-southern-india-enters-into-strategic-partnership-with-sreesastha-nammaloan</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  Manish
Shah, Managing Director, Manba Finance Limited

Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to lead the entry this financial
year, ahead of a phased expansion across other South Indian states — powered by
a leadership team carrying over 100 years of combined automobile-lending
experience

Mumbai, 16th June, 2026 : Manba Finance Limited, one of India’s established
vehicle-financing NBFCs, today announced its entry into the South Indian market
through a strategic partnership with Sreesastha (Nammaloan). The
partnership marks a significant milestone in Manba’s national growth journey
and lays the foundation for a phased expansion across all South Indian states
in the period ahead.

The collaboration will begin in Karnataka, followed
by Tamil Nadu within the current financial year, with a phased entry
into other South Indian states planned thereafter. As part of this effort, the
partnership has identified over 100 potential locations across these
regions, which it intends to activate progressively in the coming periods in
line with market readiness and operational priorities.

What distinguishes this partnership is the depth of
expertise behind it. The venture is led by a core team of four senior leaders
who together bring more than 100 years of combined experience in automobile
lending spanning origination, credit, collections, and on-ground
distribution across the vehicle-finance value chain.

This concentration of domain knowledge is intended to give
the South India business a running start: local market understanding,
established dealer and ecosystem relationships, and a disciplined credit
culture from day one.

The partnership will offer Manba’s range of vehicle-finance
products in the region, with a sequenced launch beginning with the company’s
core strengths:

●     
New two-wheeler loans

●     
Used two-wheeler loans

●     
Three-wheeler loans

●     
Used car loans

The phased
approach starting with Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and a focused product set, then
widening both geography and offering over time is intended to build the
business on a foundation of sound underwriting and operational readiness rather
than speed alone.

Underpinning the offering is the customer experience Manba
is known for. The company’s lending platform is designed to deliver in-principle
approvals in as little as one minute and a fully digital, paperless
customer journey from application through documentation to disbursal.

For South India’s customers and dealer partners alike, this
means faster decisions, less friction, and a financing experience that keeps
pace with the point of sale a meaningful differentiator in a market where speed
and convenience increasingly decide where business goes.

Commenting on this Manish
Shah, Managing Director, Manba Finance Limited said “South India is one of
the most dynamic vehicle markets in the country, and entering it the right way
matters more to us than entering it quickly. Partnering with Sreesastha (Namma
loan) gives us something money can’t buy on its own a team that has financed
vehicles in these markets for decades. That experience, combined with Manba’s
products, balance sheet, and technology, is what gives us confidence in this
expansion.” 

Monil Shah, Chief Business Officer &amp; Executive Director,
Manba Finance Limited said “This is a big step for Manba, and we intend to
do it with discipline. We are starting in Karnataka with the products we know
best, and we will expand state by state as we earn the right to. Our focus is
on building a durable, well-underwritten book in the South not a quick one.” 

V Gopalakrishnan, Director, Sreesastha Ins-Corp Advisory
Private Ltd (Nammaloan) told “We are delighted to associate with Manba
Finance, a leader known for its robust product suite and customer-first
approach. This strategic tie-up aligns perfectly with our vision of bridging
the gap between quality financial products and underserved customers in South
India. Our team’s decades of hands-on experience in tech enabled retail finance
distribution will help accelerate high quality disbursements while upholding
the highest standards of service and compliance. Together, we aim to empower
individuals and businesses with reliable credit solutions that drive growth and
financial inclusion.”

<title>BiteSpeed Partners with Razorpay to Launch Unified AI Conversion and Retention Stack for D2C Brands</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/bitespeed-partners-with-razorpay-to-launch-unified-ai-conversion-and-retention-stack-for-d2c-brands</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/bitespeed-partners-with-razorpay-to-launch-unified-ai-conversion-and-retention-stack-for-d2c-brands</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  BiteSpeed and
Razorpay Company Logos

The partnership brings together
BiteSpeed’s AI-powered customer engagement platform with Razorpay&#039;s
high-converting one-click checkout experience, enabling D2C brands to drive
higher conversions, reduce drop-offs, and maximise customer lifetime value.

Bengaluru, India — BiteSpeed has partnered
with Razorpay to bring a unified conversion and retention stack to D2C brands,
combining AI CRM and one-click checkout capabilities to enable seamless
cross-channel commerce journeys. 

The partnership combines BiteSpeed&#039;s
AI-powered engagement platform with Razorpay Magic Checkout&#039;s one-click
checkout experience and conversion capabilities, enabling brands to build
high-converting customer journeys across Web, WhatsApp, SMS, Email and Voice.
By connecting customer engagement, payments, and retention into a single
experience, brands can recover lost sales by upto 15%, drive repeat purchases,
and maximise customer lifetime value.

Leading D2C brands, including Comet, Nish
Hair &amp; Safari Bags, are already leveraging the integrated experience to
improve conversions by an average of 10%, reduce checkout friction, and deliver
more personalised customer journeys.

&quot;Checkout today is much more than a
payment layer; it&#039;s becoming one of the most important conversion and retention
touchpoints for D2C brands,&quot; said
Vinayak Aggarwal, CEO, BiteSpeed. &quot;Brands increasingly want
the freedom to choose category-leading products without creating fragmented
customer experiences. Through this partnership, we&#039;re bringing together
best-in-class checkout and customer engagement capabilities in a seamless
experience that helps brands convert, retain, and grow customers more
effectively.&quot;

What makes this partnership uniquely
valuable is the combination of intelligence, trust, compliance, and conversion
across the entire customer journey. Unlike fragmented setups that stitch
together separate checkout and payment providers, Razorpay offers unified
checkout and payments infrastructure — pairing its understanding of shopper
behaviour across millions of payment interactions with BiteSpeed&#039;s precision
targeting and engagement, for richer insights, fewer integration dependencies,
and a smoother path from intent to purchase.

The stack is built on a consent-first
foundation aligned with India&#039;s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act,
enabling brands to personalise responsibly. As a regulated payments entity,
Razorpay brings security and compliance by design, while trust signals — the
Trusted Badge, Order Milestone Badge, Money Back Promise, and Login with
Razorpay&#039;s consent-led authentication — help shoppers buy with greater
confidence. Together, these capabilities help brands convert more customers
while building lasting trust.

Khilan Haria, CPO, Razorpay, said, “At Razorpay, we&#039;re focused on helping brands improve the
customer journey through seamless and trusted commerce experiences. Through
partnerships with leading commerce enablement platforms such as BiteSpeed,
we&#039;re extending the value merchants can derive from our checkout and payments
offerings. By bringing together checkout, payments, and customer engagement
capabilities, we&#039;re helping D2C brands drive better conversions, improve
retention, and create more connected customer experiences.”

The partnership comes at a time when D2C
brands are increasingly investing in owned channels, retention infrastructure,
and conversion optimisation as customer acquisition costs continue to rise.
With several more brands expected to come on board, the partnership is poised
to become the default agentic commerce stack for India&#039;s fastest-growing D2C
brands. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

Chandigarh is
witnessing a growing culture of disciplined investing, driven by a new
generation of Mutual Fund Distributors who are helping families build long-term
financial security. Backed by NJ Wealth’s technology-driven platform, research
capabilities, training ecosystem, and partner-first approach, professionals
from diverse backgrounds have successfully built thriving practices while
creating meaningful impact in the lives of investors. Their journeys
demonstrate how the right support system can transform ambition into
achievement.

The stories of Punita
Sharma, Pradeep Kumar, Kapil Garg, and Chandra Veshu reflect this
transformation. Coming from varied professional backgrounds, each has leveraged
NJ Wealth’s robust digital infrastructure, learning opportunities, and
client-centric approach to build trust, scale their practice, and help
investors achieve important life goals. Together, they manage hundreds of
crores in assets, serve thousands of families, and continue to strengthen
Chandigarh’s position as a growing hub of financial awareness and wealth
creation. Their success is a testament to the power of perseverance, continuous
learning, and a shared commitment to helping investors create a better
financial future.

Punita Sharma: A Woman
Redefining Financial Confidence With NJ Wealth’s Technology

With an AUM
of ₹72 crore, a monthly SIP book of ₹72 lakh, and over 700 client families,
Punita Sharma has emerged as one of Chandigarh’s inspiring NJ Wealth Partners.
Her journey reflects determination, family support, and the transformative role
of NJ Wealth’s technology-driven ecosystem.

Coming from
a non-finance background, Punita initially had limited understanding of mutual
funds and SIPs. Encouraged by her husband, she decided to explore the
profession and gradually stepped into the world of investments with confidence
and dedication.

Her
association with NJ Wealth became the turning point in her journey. Through its
advanced digital platform, paperless onboarding, automated transactions,
real-time portfolio tracking, E-Wealth services, and intelligent reporting
tools, NJ Wealth simplified operations and made client servicing seamless. The
technology eliminated manual hurdles and allowed Punita to focus on
understanding client needs and building long-term relationships.

Today,
Punita is known for her sincerity, clarity, and ability to simplify financial
decisions for families. Several of her clients have fulfilled important life
goals such as purchasing homes, funding children’s education, and planning comfortable
retirements through disciplined investing and systematic withdrawal planning.

With NJ
Wealth’s robust technology and her family’s constant support, Punita Sharma
continues to create meaningful financial impact, empowering families to build a
secure future with confidence.

From Uncertainty to Excellence: NJ Wealth’s Support Fuels Pradeep
Kumar’s 700+ Client Journey

Pradeep
Kumar’s journey from an LIC consultant to a trusted NJ Wealth Partner reflects
resilience, adaptability, and a strong commitment to client-focused wealth
creation. Today, he manages ₹60 crore in AUM, serves over 700 clients, and has
built a growing monthly SIP book of ₹74 lakh.

Pradeep
began his career with LIC in the early 2000s, initially part-time before moving
into the profession full-time. In 2013, when traditional LIC methods underwent
major changes, he saw an opportunity to guide clients toward diversified
investment solutions through mutual funds. In January 2014, he joined NJ
Wealth, a decision he describes as transformational.

“I consider
myself fortunate. NJ Wealth came into my life at the right time with the right
guidance,” says Pradeep. With NJ Wealth’s structured systems, research support,
and mentorship, he smoothly transitioned into the investment space. Such was
the trust of his clients that nearly 90% continued their journey with him.

NJ Wealth’s
technology-driven ecosystem further accelerated his growth. From paperless
onboarding and digital transactions to real-time dashboards and remote
servicing, the platform enabled seamless client management, even during the
COVID-19 lockdown.

For
Pradeep, the biggest satisfaction comes from helping families achieve
milestones like children’s education, home ownership, and retirement security.
His message to aspiring professionals remains simple: “Patience is the real
compounding.”

A Conversation That Sparked Kapil Garg’s Journey into Shaping
Financial Futures with NJ Wealth

What began
as a simple conversation at his family’s department store evolved into a
remarkable 17-year journey in financial services. Today, Chandigarh-based NJ
Wealth Partner Kapil Garg manages an AUM of ₹110 crore, a live SIP book of ₹96
lakh, and serves more than 700 clients across India and overseas.

Kapil’s
entry into the profession was unplanned. After graduation, he met an NJ Wealth
Partner who encouraged him to clear the AMFI exam in 2007. While he later
pursued an MBA, worked briefly with ICICI Lombard, and supported his family
business, the idea of building a career in financial services stayed with him.

In 2012, he
launched Garg Financial Services, initially focusing on insurance. At the time,
his mutual fund AUM stood at just ₹40 lakh. Recognizing the long-term value
mutual funds could create for investors, he committed himself to learning and
growing in the profession. Over the years, his AUM grew to ₹110 crore through
disciplined efforts, continuous learning, and client trust.

Kapil
credits NJ Wealth’s technology platform for enabling seamless onboarding,
transactions, KYC, and portfolio reviews, helping him serve clients across
India and internationally.

“What
motivates me most is helping families achieve their goals,” says Kapil. “There
is no greater satisfaction than seeing clients succeed because of disciplined
investing.”

5,000 Crorepatis with NJ Wealth

In a short
span of time, Chandigarh-based Mutual Fund Distributor Chandra Veshu has built
an impressive practice with ₹50 crore in AUM, over 400 clients, and a monthly
SIP book exceeding ₹1 crore. His journey is one of reinvention, ambition, and a
commitment to helping investors create long-term wealth.

An
electronics and communication engineer from Thapar College, Chandra began his
career with companies such as Wipro, Zscaler, and British Telecom as a network
security engineer. He later moved into the insurance sector with LIC and PNB
MetLife while also completing an MBA in Investment and Corporate Banking from
Symbiosis. His growing interest in wealth creation led him to enter the mutual
fund profession in 2019, with full-time focus beginning in 2021.

Chandra
credits NJ Wealth’s structured training, learning ecosystem, and partner
network for helping him scale his practice. Inspired by successful peers, he
set an ambitious goal of overseeing ₹5,000 crore in AUM and creating 5,000
crorepati investors.

Known for
his need-based approach, he serves both retail and HNI clients alike. One of
his proudest moments was seeing a tea seller build a home through disciplined
investing. For Chandra, this profession is not about transactions—it is about
transforming lives. ]]></description>

<title>ZAKH: Building a Modern Fashion Brand with Entrepreneurial Strength and Customer&#45;First Vision</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/zakh-building-a-modern-fashion-brand-with-entrepreneurial-strength-and-customer-first-vision</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/zakh-building-a-modern-fashion-brand-with-entrepreneurial-strength-and-customer-first-vision</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Indian fashion industry continues to
evolve rapidly, driven by changing consumer preferences, digital commerce, and
the growing demand for affordable yet stylish apparel. Amid this
transformation, ZAKH has emerged as
a promising new entrant with a clear vision of making contemporary fashion
accessible to a wider audience. Founded in September 2025 and operational since
April 2026, the Delhi-based brand is steadily building its presence in the
highly competitive fashion market through a combination of entrepreneurial
expertise, customer understanding, and operational efficiency. Through its
online platform, www.zakh.in, the company is creating a seamless shopping
experience for consumers seeking trend-driven fashion at accessible price
points.

What makes ZAKH’s journey particularly
interesting is the diverse professional background of its founders. The company
was established by four brothers, each bringing experience from different
industries, including banking, information technology, manufacturing, and
wholesale fast fashion. This blend of expertise has helped create a strong
foundation for the business, allowing it to approach fashion retail from
multiple perspectives. While banking experience contributes to financial
discipline and strategic planning, knowledge from the technology sector
supports digital growth and customer engagement. Manufacturing insights help
streamline operations, while experience in wholesale fashion provides a deep
understanding of sourcing, pricing, and market trends.

The idea behind ZAKH was born from a simple observation.
Fashion-conscious consumers increasingly seek trendy and high-quality apparel,
yet many struggle to find products that strike the right balance between
affordability and style. Recognising this gap, the founders envisioned a brand
that could deliver fashionable clothing while maintaining competitive pricing
and a seamless shopping experience. Their goal was not merely to sell garments
but to create a brand that resonates with the aspirations and lifestyles of
modern Indian consumers.

Since commencing operations in April 2026,
ZAKH has demonstrated encouraging momentum. Within its very first month, the
company successfully fulfilled more than 200 orders, a significant achievement
for a newly launched fashion venture. More importantly, this early success
reflected strong market acceptance and validated the founders’ belief in their
business model. As customer awareness has grown, order volumes have continued
to increase, indicating a positive response from consumers and strengthening
confidence in the brand’s long-term potential.

A key factor behind ZAKH’s growth is its
commitment to understanding customer preferences. Fashion trends evolve
quickly, and consumers today expect brands to remain relevant, responsive, and
innovative. By closely monitoring market trends and customer feedback, ZAKH
aims to ensure that its collections remain aligned with evolving tastes and
expectations. This customer-centric approach enables the company to adapt
quickly while maintaining consistency in quality and service.

Operating in the digital era has also
allowed ZAKH to embrace a direct-to-consumer approach. This model not only
improves accessibility but also allows the company to gather valuable insights
into consumer behaviour, helping it make informed decisions regarding product
development and inventory planning. By leveraging technology and digital
engagement, the company is working towards creating a more personalised and
convenient shopping experience for its growing customer base.

The founders believe that sustainable
growth requires more than just strong sales numbers. It demands a clear vision,
disciplined execution, and the ability to build lasting relationships with
customers. As a result, ZAKH continues to focus on strengthening its
operational capabilities, expanding its product offerings, and enhancing customer
satisfaction. Every stage of the business, from sourcing and merchandising to
fulfilment and support, is guided by a commitment to delivering value.

Looking ahead, ZAKH aims to establish
itself as a trusted fashion destination for consumers seeking quality,
affordability, and contemporary design. While still in the early stages of its
journey, the company has already demonstrated the entrepreneurial spirit and
adaptability needed to succeed in today’s dynamic retail environment. Backed by
the collective experience of its founders and driven by a clear understanding
of market needs, ZAKH is positioning itself as a brand with the potential to
make a meaningful impact on India’s fashion ecosystem. As it continues to
expand its reach and strengthen its market presence, the company remains
committed to its vision of delivering accessible fashion to customers across
the country through www.zakh.in.

As the company continues to grow, its story
serves as an example of how diverse expertise, a shared vision, and a strong
customer focus can come together to create a modern fashion brand built for the
future. ]]></description>

<title>iCreate and Hauts&#45;de&#45;France Announce Bilateral Deep Tech Innovation Corridor to Accelerate India&#45;France Startup Collaboration</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/icreate-and-hauts-de-france-announce-bilateral-deep-tech-innovation-corridor-to-accelerate-india-france-startup-collaboration</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/icreate-and-hauts-de-france-announce-bilateral-deep-tech-innovation-corridor-to-accelerate-india-france-startup-collaboration</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Nice,
France | June 15, 2026 :  iCreate,
India&#039;s leading deep tech startup incubator, has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with the Hauts-de-France Regional Council to establish the
India–Hauts-de-France Bilateral Corridor for Deep Tech Innovation, creating a
direct pathway for startup collaboration, market access, pilot deployments, and
technology commercialisation between the two regions.

The
partnership was announced in Nice at Bharat Innovates 2026, the Government of
India&#039;s flagship innovation initiative, being jointly inaugurated by Prime
Minister Narendra Modi and President Emmanuel Macron on June 14, 2026. The MoU
forms part of a broader set of India–France institutional agreements being
concluded at the summit.

Focused
on sectors such as HealthTech, ClimateTech, AgriTech, FoodTech, e-Mobility,
Aerospace and Defence, and Physical AI and Deep Tech Systems, the corridor will
enable startups from both regions to access new markets, industry partnerships,
research collaborations, and pilot opportunities. The initiative aims to accelerate
innovation adoption, strengthen supply-chain resilience, and unlock co-funded
investment opportunities across strategic sectors.

Over
the next 18 months, the partnership aims to support more than 12 startups in
pursuing cross-border expansion, facilitate at least three joint pilot
deployments across Indian and European markets, and launch the first bilateral
startup cohort comprising innovators from both ecosystems.

A
key differentiator of the corridor is its implementation-led structure. While
iCreate and the Hauts-de-France Regional Council are the principal partners,
execution will be supported by EuraTechnologies, one of Europe&#039;s leading
startup and innovation hubs, and Nord France Invest, the region&#039;s investment
promotion agency. A Joint Steering Committee comprising representatives from
both sides will oversee implementation and drive measurable outcomes.

Speaking
on the occasion Mr. Avinash
Punekar, CEO, iCreate said, “As
India and France deepen their collaboration in technology and innovation, there
is a unique opportunity to connect talent, research, and entrepreneurship
across borders. This corridor is more than a partnership; it is a platform to
help deep tech startups access global markets, forge meaningful industry
collaborations, and accelerate the journey from innovation to impact. We
believe it will empower entrepreneurs from both ecosystems to solve global
challenges and build globally competitive ventures.&quot;

François
Decoster, Regional Vice-President, Hauts-de-France, said, &quot;Hauts-de-France
has built a strong ecosystem for deep tech innovation, backed by world-class
research, industrial capabilities, and investment networks. Through this
partnership with iCreate, we are creating new opportunities for startups from
both regions to collaborate, scale internationally, and accelerate the
commercialisation of cutting-edge technologies. We believe this corridor can
serve as a model for future innovation partnerships between France and
India.&quot;

The
partnership combines Hauts-de-France&#039;s strengths in research, industry,
investment, and European market access with iCreate&#039;s deep tech ecosystem and
India’s manufacturing prowess, creating a powerful platform for startups to
innovate, collaborate, and scale across global markets.

The
initiative builds on iCreate&#039;s proven track record of supporting deep tech
startups across mobility, energy, healthcare, aerospace, defence, artificial
intelligence, and advanced manufacturing. Some notable startups supported by
iCreate include ChargeZone, Clean Electric, Integra Robotics, Vijigi, Naxatra
Labs, BioScan, Biokraft, and Zero Drag. In addition, through its
partnership-led initiatives, iCreate has also enabled high-potential ventures such
as Carbonstrong Technologies, Green Aero Propulsion, and Urjanovac, which were
recognised under the AVAANA–Startup India–NITI Aayog AIM Grand Challenge for
Frontier Tech Innovation. Together, these ventures reflect the quality,
diversity, and global potential of India&#039;s deep tech ecosystem, demonstrating
how strategic support, industry partnerships, and innovation-led programs can
help startups compete, collaborate, and scale in international markets.

The
India–Hauts-de-France corridor is the first bilateral deep tech partnership
between an Indian incubator and a French region. The collaboration is expected
to serve as a scalable model for future India-Europe innovation partnerships,
enabling startups, researchers, investors, and industry leaders to collaborate
across borders and accelerate the global growth of emerging technologies.

<title>From Adults to Babies: Sunkey&amp;apos;s SPF 50 PA++++ and Pediatrician&#45;Approved Baby Sunscreen Make Mineral Sun Care Effortless</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-adults-to-babies-sunkeys-spf-50-pa-and-pediatrician-approved-baby-sunscreen-make-mineral-sun-care-effortless</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-adults-to-babies-sunkeys-spf-50-pa-and-pediatrician-approved-baby-sunscreen-make-mineral-sun-care-effortless</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ From Chalky to Chic: The Mineral Sunscreen Upgrade. For too long, mineral
sunscreen has felt like a compromise; the safety of physical blockers traded
for a chalky residue and a heavy, mask-like finish.

Sunkey
Skincare challenges that narrative, proving that mineral protection can deliver
both clinical performance and elevated sensorial experience. By bridging the
gap between efficacy and elegance, Sunkey is redefining what modern, everyday
sun protection should feel like.

1. The High-Performance Shield: Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++

At
the core of Sunkey’s innovation is its Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++,
engineered specifically for Indian skin needs and environmental conditions. Unlike
traditional mineral sunscreens that sit heavily on the skin, Sunkey utilises
advanced non nano oxide dispersion technology sourced from leading laboratories
in Korea and Europe, enabling seamless blendability across skin tones.

Key Highlights:

•
The Finish: A refined moist matte texture that visibly blurs pores without
clogging them

•
The Feel: Lightweight, breathable, and doubles as a smooth primer base

•
The Science: Broad spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ protection against UVA, UVB, and blue
light without any white cast
This is mineral sunscreen reimagined, delivering high performance protection
with a cosmetically elegant finish.

2. The Pediatrician Approved Essential: No Tan Baby Mineral Sunscreen SPF
43 PA+++

Sunkey
extends its philosophy of safe, effective sun care to its most sensitive users
with the No Tan Baby Mineral Sunscreen SPF 43 PA+++. Developed with a
paediatric first approach, this formulation prioritises barrier protection,
skin comfort, and long term safety.

Key Highlights:

•
Botanical Care: Enriched with Olive Squalane and Oatmeal Extract to deeply
moisturise and calm delicate, reactive skin

•
Advanced Protection: Broad spectrum UVA, UVB, and infrared heat protection,
essential for India’s harsh climate

•
Safety Assurance: Formulated in accordance with Australian UV filter standards,
among the most stringent globally

•
Gentle Formulation: 100% mineral, fragrance free, and designed for babies,
toddlers, and highly sensitive skin

A
sunscreen designed not just to protect, but to actively support and soothe
developing skin.

Why Sunkey is the Modern Choice

Every
Sunkey formulation is built on a foundation of transparency, safety, and skin
first innovation, without unnecessary additives or compromises.

What sets Sunkey apart:

•
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Safe: Non nano mineral filters that remain on the
skin’s surface

•
Antioxidant Rich Formulations: Powered by Jeju and Tomato extracts to combat environmental
stressors

•
Dermatologist Tested: Developed with expert guidance for real world skin
concerns

•
Fragrance Free Philosophy: No added fragrances, reducing risk of irritation or
sensitisation 

Sunkey
does not just protect the skin, it enhances its resilience over time.

The Complete Routine

While
mineral sunscreens provide superior protection, proper removal is essential. Use
the Sunkey cleansing oil to effectively dissolve mineral filters, excess oil,
and impurities at the end of the day, ensuring skin remains balanced, clean,
and healthy.

<description><![CDATA[  

On
17 June 2026, government, ports, customs and industry leadership will convene
under the theme “One Fraternity, One Vision — Logistics Driving India Towards
Viksit Bharat”

The
Brihanmumbai Custom Brokers&#039; Association (BCBA) : the apex body of the customs-broking fraternity in Mumbai — will host the
second edition of its flagship policy forum, the India Logistics Conclave
2026, on 17 June 2026 at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai. Building on
the success of the inaugural 2024 edition, which drew more than 550
stakeholders from across government, trade and industry, this year&#039;s Conclave
will convene senior policymakers, port and customs leadership, trade economists
and industry principals under the theme “One Fraternity, One Vision —
Logistics Driving India Towards Viksit Bharat.”

The
single-day gathering is designed as a coherent dialogue on the forces reshaping
India&#039;s trade-and-logistics ecosystem — from the long-horizon roadmap for
Viksit Bharat 2047 to the immediate realities of digital customs, shifting
geopolitics, infrastructure delivery, and the evolving role of the licensed
intermediary. The programme reflects the BCBA&#039;s conviction that the customs
broker and freight forwarder are no longer back-office facilitators but
front-line growth partners in the nation&#039;s trade story.

Inaugural
Session. The Conclave will open with an inaugural
session bringing together the senior leadership of Indian Customs and the
country&#039;s ports ecosystem. The dais is expected to feature Shri Yogendra
Garg, Member (Customs), CBIC; Shri Gaurav Dayal, IAS, Chairman, JNPA;
Dr M Angamuthu, IAS, Chairman, Mumbai Port Authority; Shri Shyam
Jagannathan, IAS, Director General of Shipping; Capt. Deepak Tiwari,
Managing Director, MSC India and Chairman, CSLA; Capt. BVJK Sharma, CEO,
Navi Mumbai International Airport; and Shri Niraj Ambani, Group
President — Supply Chain, Reliance Industries, among other dignitaries. Shri
Vivek Chaturvedi, Chairman, CBIC, is expected to address the gathering
online. The session will also felicitate industry veterans for their
distinguished contribution to the EXIM community.

Speaking
ahead of the Conclave, Mr Sanjeev Harale, President, BCBA, said: “In a
landscape marked by geopolitical shifts and supply-chain realignment, India has
emerged as a balanced and credible voice. With logistics costs falling and
policy maturing, the sector now sits at the heart of national development. The
need of the hour is not merely to respond to change, but to shape it — and that
is precisely what this Conclave seeks to do.”

Mr
Dushyant Mulani, Immediate Past President, BCBA,
under whose stewardship the inaugural edition of the India Logistics Conclave
was held in 2024, added: “What began as an idea in 2024 has grown into a
movement. This second edition reaffirms that the customs-broking fraternity is
ready to sit at the high table of national logistics policy and contribute as
an equal partner.”

Mr
Paresh Thakkar, Senior Vice President, BCBA,
said: “The customs broker is the silent force that keeps India&#039;s Exim trade
moving. As the key stakeholder coordinating between Customs, Ports,
Participating Government Agencies, shipping lines, CFSs and every link in the
EXIM chain, the broker is the thread that holds the trade ecosystem together.
This Conclave is our declaration that we will lead, we will innovate, and we
will help build the Viksit Bharat of 2047.”

The
Association is especially encouraged by the participation of speakers and
dignitaries from across India, together with key members of the Federation of
Freight Forwarders&#039; Associations in India (FFFAI) from other cities — a
reflection of the Conclave&#039;s growing national stature.

Four
Plenary Sessions. The day will be structured around four themed
plenaries. The first, “India 2030, 2035, 2047 — A Roadmap for Viksit
Bharat,” will frame the logistics agenda across three horizons of
structural transformation. The second, “Building India&#039;s Digital Spine —
Customs &amp; Trade,” will examine the move toward a unified national
customs platform, 24-hour clearance and AI-driven risk management. The third, “Geopolitics
and the New Geometry of Trade,” will address FTA utilisation, sea-lane risk
and the China Plus One opportunity. The fourth, “Policy and Infrastructure —
Building India&#039;s Futuristic Logistics Ecosystem,” will turn to the policy
architecture that converts hard infrastructure into a future-ready,
interoperable logistics network.

The
panels will draw an eminent cross-section of voices from policy, ports,
industry and academia, including senior representatives of the Central Board of
Indirect Taxes &amp; Customs, the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority, the Land
Port Authority of India, leading economists and thinkers, technology providers
powering the customs interface, and principals from across the shipping,
terminals and freight-forwarding ecosystem. The discussions will be moderated
by senior leaders of the customs-broking and freight-forwarding fraternity.

Valedictory.
The Conclave will conclude with a valedictory session, “Custom
Brokers and Freight Forwarders — Growth Partners,” featuring a concluding
keynote address by Mr Dhimant Parekh, Founder, The Better India, alongside
reflections from senior BCBA leadership on repositioning the profession as a
recognised trade-facilitation partner within the CBIC, DGFT and PGA framework.

<title>RBI Repo Rate Pause Provides Stability Amid Global Cost Pressures;  Emperium Group Highlights Strong Financial Planning and Execution Continuity</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/rbi-repo-rate-pause-provides-stability-amid-global-cost-pressures-emperium-group-highlights-strong-financial-planning-and-execution-continuity</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/rbi-repo-rate-pause-provides-stability-amid-global-cost-pressures-emperium-group-highlights-strong-financial-planning-and-execution-continuity</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India’s
real estate sector is navigating a dynamic macroeconomic environment following
the Reserve Bank of India’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25%, even
as geopolitical tensions in West Asia continue to drive volatility in global
crude oil prices and construction linked input costs.

Industry
estimates indicate that ongoing global uncertainty has led to a 2-5% rise in
construction costs, driven by increased raw material prices, logistics
disruptions, and supply chain pressures. This has prompted developers across
the sector to strengthen financial planning frameworks and execution strategies
to maintain project timelines and cost efficiency.

The
RBI’s decision to hold rates is being seen as a stabilising measure, ensuring
continuity in credit conditions and offering relief to homebuyers by keeping
Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs) stable amid global volatility. This is
expected to support sustained demand in the residential housing market.

Ravi
Saund, Founding Director, Emperium Group said, “ At Emperium Group, we don&#039;t
just plan for stability, we engineer it. Volatile markets, rising input costs,
global headwinds, none of these has depleted our progression at any stage.
There are variables we account for, long before a customer signs on the dotted
line. Our financial systems, procurement strategy, and construction timelines
are built with exactly these scenarios in mind. We have never missed a
commitment. And we don&#039;t intend to start now.”

He
added, at Emperium Group, 100% ahead of time is not a tagline. It is a standard
we hold ourselves to, on every project, in every market condition.

Reaffirming
its operational strength, Emperium Group confirmed that construction activity
across its portfolio including Emperium Prime, Emperium Premio, Emperium Resortico
Villas, and Emperium Titan continues at full momentum.

The
projects, located across Gurugram, Panipat, and Yamuna Nagar, reflect the
group’s diversified presence across key growth corridors in Haryana and NCR
adjacent markets.

The
company emphasised that its execution model is built to absorb external cost
fluctuations without impacting construction quality or delivery timelines,
supported by strong procurement systems and financial discipline.
Industry experts note that developers with strong balance sheets and execution
driven strategies are better positioned to navigate macroeconomic volatility,
particularly in infrastructure-led corridors witnessing sustained long-term
demand.

As
India’s real estate sector adjusts to global economic shifts, Emperium Group
stated that its focus remains unchanged, ensuring customer satisfaction through
financial prudence, construction continuity, and consistent delivery excellence
across its entire portfolio. ]]></description>

<title>THE REAL CURRICULUM: LESSONS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM BY KARISHMA</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-real-curriculum-lessons-beyond-the-classroom-by-karishma</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-real-curriculum-lessons-beyond-the-classroom-by-karishma</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

The traditional
school system is a master at teaching us how to follow instructions, memorize
facts, and compete for grades. But once the final bell rings and you step into
the world of adulthood, you quickly realize that the ‘test’ has changed.

The real world
doesn&#039;t care if you can recite textbook theories or complete standardized
assignments on a deadline. It cares about your ability to handle adversity,
manage your own mind, and navigate the messy, unpredictable terrain of life.
The traits that define true survival are resilience, grit and the courage to
fail which are rarely found in a syllabus. 

If we want to
prepare the next generation for the ‘real battles of life’, we need to start
teaching what truly matters.

The ‘Who vs. the
‘What’

Schools operate on
a model of compliance. They focus on the what (facts, dates and
formulas) and the how (how to memorize, how to follow instructions, and
how to pass a test) but they consistently ignore the who. Here, who
is focusing on building the person underneath the grades which means learning
how to trust your own judgment, how to manage your own stress, and how to make
smart choices when no one is watching. Life doesn&#039;t ask you to recite facts, it
asks you to solve problems. To do that, you have to develop your own character,
your own voice, your own strength.

To truly be ready
for the real world, you need to understand three things that are usually left
out of the classroom: 

 Facts
silently missing in school curriculum: 

●     
The Fear of Failure: Schools teach us that failure is a permanent mark on record. In
reality, failure is the only reliable ‘diagnostic tool’ which shows us what to
change. When we are afraid to make mistakes, we stop taking the risks needed to
grow and succeed.

●      Emotional Navigation: You might have the
highest grades in your class, but if you don&#039;t know how to handle stress,
anger, or disappointment, you will struggle because success in life depends on
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) which is the ability to identify how you feel,
manage your stress, and work well with others even when things get difficult.

●     
System Literacy: Life doesn&#039;t come with a schedule once you leave school. Nobody will
tell you when to study, when to save money, or when to speak for yourself.
Taking charge of your life is very important and that will be done when you
learn how to budget, how to operate your bank account, and how interest works.

You have to be your
own representative. If you need help, ask for it. If you disagree with
something, speak up respectfully. Nobody can advocate for your future as well
as you can.

THE SKILLS YOU
ACTUALLY NEED 

To succeed on your
own terms, stop being a ‘student of the system’ and start being the architect
of your own life let’s see how: 

●     
Radical Resilience: Think of resilience as your internal ‘bounce back’ muscle. It’s not
about never falling. It&#039;s about what you do once you&#039;re on the ground. When
life knocks you down it will remember that your value isn&#039;t tied to the mistake
or the setback. Your value is defined entirely by your response.

●     
Self- Advocacy &amp;
Initiative: The world outside is not going to hand you
a syllabus or tell you when your next assignment is due. Outside of school,
there is no pre-set schedule to follow. You have to become the person who spots
the problem, hunts down the resources to fix it, and has the courage to speak
up for what you need, whether that&#039;s asking for help on a project, negotiating
for your future, or taking a moment to protect your mental health. Initiative
is about moving from ‘waiting to be told’ to ‘deciding to act’.

●     
Practical Adaptability: The world changes much faster than any textbook can be updated. True
intelligence today isn&#039;t about memorizing all the answers but it is about the ability
to unlearn what is no longer useful and quickly adapt to new technology,
changing environments, and unexpected surprises. Think of it like a ‘mental
software update’ you must be willing to let go of old methods when they stop
working so you can embrace the new skills needed to thrive.

ALWAYS REMEMBER
YOU ARE THE ARCHITECT OF YOUR FUTURE 

Your education
doesn&#039;t stop the moment you walk out of the classroom. School may have given
you a starting point, but it is not the limit of what you can achieve.

If you feel like
you aren&#039;t ready for ‘real life’ don&#039;t worry almost everyone feels that way.
The secret isn&#039;t knowing everything but it is realizing that you don&#039;t need a
teacher to tell you how to grow. Stop waiting for someone else to grade your
progress. Instead, treat your life, your own personal expedition, your
mistakes as data, your emotions as a compass and stay relentlessly curious.

The world isn&#039;t
looking for more people who can just follow orders. It is looking for people
who can solve problems, navigate uncertainty, and create their own path. You
have everything, you need to start doing that right now.

academic programs and curricula to address the convergence of AI, advanced
computing, energy technologies and sustainability dominated the conversation,
ways to contribute to national missions on Semiconductors, AI, Quantum etc were
also discussed.

Key
topics also included how private universities could ensure skill integration to

<title>The Convergence of AI and Cybersecurity Is Creating a New Talent Imperative</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-convergence-of-ai-and-cybersecurity-is-creating-a-new-talent-imperative</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-convergence-of-ai-and-cybersecurity-is-creating-a-new-talent-imperative</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Artificial
Intelligence is rapidly transforming the cybersecurity landscape, creating a
high-stakes race between attackers and defenders. While organisations are
leveraging AI to automate threat detection and strengthen cyber resilience,
threat actors are using the same technologies to launch increasingly
sophisticated attacks at unprecedented scale.

The
cybersecurity profession is therefore entering a new era. Security teams are no
longer defending against conventional threats alone; they are confronting AI-generated
phishing campaigns, deepfake-enabled social engineering attacks, adaptive
malware, and highly automated attack frameworks capable of evolving in real
time.

As
organisations race to build AI-powered security capabilities, the demand for
professionals who understand both cybersecurity and artificial intelligence is
accelerating. To address this emerging skills gap, IITM Pravartak has launched
the Professional Certificate Programme in Cybersecurity and AI,
a comprehensive programme designed to help professionals develop expertise
across modern cyber defence, offensive security, AI-driven threat detection,
cloud security, digital forensics, and cybersecurity architecture.

According
to the 2024 ISC2 Cybersecurity Workforce Study, the global cybersecurity
workforce gap has reached nearly 4.8 million professionals. Closer to home,
industry reports indicate that more than 28,000 cybersecurity positions remain
unfilled in India, while 75% of organisations report challenges in hiring
skilled cybersecurity talent. At the same time, IBM&#039;s Cost of a Data Breach
Report 2024 estimates the average global cost of a breach at USD 4.88
million—the highest recorded to date.

Against
this backdrop, the role of the cybersecurity professional is evolving rapidly.

The New Cybersecurity
Battlefield

Today&#039;s
threat landscape is being reshaped by AI on both sides of the security equation

Cybercriminals
are increasingly leveraging AI to:

●       
Generate highly personalised phishing
campaigns at scale

●       
Create convincing deepfakes for identity fraud
and social engineering

●       
Develop adaptive malware capable of bypassing
traditional controls

●       
Automate reconnaissance and attack execution

●       
Increase the speed and volume of cyberattacks

Meanwhile,
organisations are deploying AI-powered security capabilities to improve
detection, response, and resilience.

As
India accelerates initiatives such as Digital India, 5G deployment, smart
cities, API-driven digital infrastructure, and cloud adoption, the need for
AI-ready cybersecurity talent is becoming increasingly urgent. Industry
estimates suggest India&#039;s cybersecurity market is expected to grow at more than
18% CAGR through the decade, creating significant demand for specialised
talent.

Why Cybersecurity
Professionals Need AI Expertise

Modern
cybersecurity roles extend far beyond network monitoring and infrastructure
protection.

Security
teams are increasingly expected to work with:

●       
AI-powered anomaly detection systems

●       
User and Entity Behaviour Analytics (UEBA)

●       
Machine learning-driven threat detection
models

●       
Security automation through SIEM and SOAR
platforms

●       
AI governance and explainability frameworks

●       
Adversarial AI defence mechanisms

Recognising
this shift, IITM Pravartak&#039;s Professional Certificate Programme in Cybersecurity and AI
incorporates a dedicated AI in Cybersecurity curriculum that explores how AI
can both strengthen and threaten modern security systems.

Participants
gain exposure to areas such as:

●       
Deep Learning and NLP for Cybersecurity

●       
AI-Driven Anomaly and Malware Detection

●       
Adversarial Attacks and Model Robustness

●       
AI Integration with SIEM and SOAR

●       
Threat Hunting using MITRE ATT&amp;CK

●       
Ethics and Governance in AI Security

The
objective is to help professionals understand not only how AI can be used for
defence, but also how attackers are increasingly weaponising it.

Building Defenders Who Understand Attackers

While
AI is transforming cybersecurity operations, strong security fundamentals
remain critical.

Effective
cybersecurity professionals must understand how attacks are planned, executed,
and investigated before they can build effective defence strategies.

To
address this requirement, the programme delivers practical exposure across both
offensive and defensive security disciplines, including ethical hacking,
vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT), cloud security,
Security Operations Centre (SOC) operations, digital forensics, incident
response, and security architecture.

Participants
also gain hands-on experience with more than 10 widely used cybersecurity tools
including Nmap, Metasploit, SEToolkit, OpenVAS, Nessus, Wireshark, and SQLMap,
helping bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and operational capability.

This
dual perspective helps learners develop a more complete understanding of modern
cyber risk while strengthening their ability to identify, assess, and mitigate
threats.

From Learning to
Industry Readiness

Cybersecurity
employers increasingly seek professionals who can contribute immediately in
operational environments.

The
programme places significant emphasis on practical application
through:

●       
Hands-on projects

●       
Real-world case studies

●       
Expert-led live sessions

●       
Applied tool-based learning

●       
A comprehensive capstone project

Learning
is reinforced through practical scenarios such as AI-driven SOC automation,
security breach investigations, secure cloud IAM configurations, phishing
detection using NLP, and digital forensics exercises.

The
programme is delivered through a blended learning format featuring weekly
recorded content and select masterclasses from IITM Pravartak guest faculty,
combined with live sessions led by domain experts. Successful participants also
have the opportunity to attend a two-day optional immersion at IIT Madras
Research Park, enabling deeper engagement with the broader technology
ecosystem.

This
focus on applied capability development is particularly relevant as cyber
threats continue to escalate. Recent industry reports indicate more than 369
million malware detections across 8.44 million endpoints in India, highlighting
the scale of the challenge facing organisations.

Building Strategic
Cybersecurity Expertise for the Age of AI

Cybersecurity
has become a strategic business issue rather than a purely technical function.

Today&#039;s
professionals must increasingly navigate:

●       
Cyber risk management

●       
Security governance

●       
Regulatory compliance

●       
Enterprise security architecture

●       
AI risk management

To
support this evolution, the programme integrates CISSP training aligned with
one of the world&#039;s most respected cybersecurity credentials. The curriculum
covers key domains including security and risk management, security
architecture and engineering, communication and network security, identity and
access management, security operations, and software development security.

The
learning experience is further strengthened through three IBM certifications
focused on:

●       
Generative AI Skills for Cybersecurity
Professionals

●       
Fundamentals of Encryption and Quantum-Safe
Techniques

●       
Cybersecurity Forensic Analysis and Incident
Response

Combined
with certification from IITM Pravartak, these credentials help participants
build both technical depth and broader cybersecurity expertise relevant to
modern organisations.

Building the Next
Generation of Cybersecurity Talent

The
future of cybersecurity belongs to professionals who can combine deep security
expertise with AI-powered defence capabilities.

As
cybercriminals continue to weaponise AI and organisations increasingly deploy
intelligent security systems, the need for hybrid cybersecurity talent will
only intensify.

The
Professional Certificate Programme in Cybersecurity and AI
by IITM Pravartak has been designed to meet this moment. Through integrated
CISSP training, AI-powered cybersecurity modules, hands-on exposure to industry
tools, three IBM certifications, applied projects, and expert-led learning, the
programme equips professionals with the knowledge and practical skills required
to secure the next generation of digital enterprises. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Genetidoc Platform Now Brings
Together 10 Top Genetics Doctors, Serving Families Across India with a Combined
Experience of Over 1,00,000 Families and 65,000 Genetic Tests

 

Thiruvananthapuram,
Kerala : Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA
Testing Lab has expanded its specialist panel with ten newly joining Clinical
Geneticists, further strengthening its position as India&#039;s largest network of
online genetics specialists.

The doctors joining
Genetidoc bring, between them, clinical experience at some of India&#039;s most
respected medical institutions and a combined exposure of over 1,00,000
families and 65,000 genetic tests across every major area of the
discipline, from prenatal diagnosis and rare childhood syndromes to hereditary
cancers and adult genetic disorders.

A Platform Built Around Access

Genetidoc was founded
on a straightforward observation: most families in India who need a genetics
specialist cannot reach one. The platform&#039;s response has been practical. All
consultations take place online so patients do not need to travel to a metro
city or wait months for a tertiary centre appointment. The platform serves patients
directly and supports referring physicians (general practitioners,
obstetricians, paediatricians, oncologists, and neurologists) who need reliable
genetics specialist input for their patients.

Pan-India Sample Collection for
Genetic Testing

Genetidoc coordinates
DNA sample collection from homes and clinics across India from Chandigarh to
Kerala, from Punjab to West Bengal, through a network of trained collection
partners. Samples are processed at NABL and CAP accredited partner
laboratories, with all clinical interpretation carried out by Genetidoc&#039;s own
qualified genetics specialists. For families in districts far from a diagnostic
centre, this end-to-end arrangement removes one of the most persistent barriers
to genetic testing: the difficulty of arranging a sample in the first place.

Consultations in Ten Indian
Languages

The platform&#039;s
specialist panel collectively consults in English, Hindi, Malayalam,
Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi, and Rajasthani, covering
patient communities across the length and breadth of the country. Genetics
consultations often carry high-stakes information: recurrence risks,
inheritance patterns, cancer surveillance decisions, and reproductive options.
Receiving that information in one&#039;s own language, from a doctor familiar with
the local and familial context, makes a measurable difference to how it is
understood and acted upon.

The Specialists Joining the Panel

The ten joining doctors
are active consultants and clinicians whose work spans the full spectrum of
genetic medicine:

 

Dr. Chakshu Chaudhry
specialises in prenatal genetics and neurodevelopmental conditions, and
independently consults at Motherhood Hospital and Chaitanya Hospital in the
Tricity region. Dr. Devi Saranya S, who holds additional certification in
cancer genetics from Harvard Medical School, independently consults at Rajagiri
Hospital, Kochi. Dr. Muhammed Shabeer P focuses on metabolic disorders and
neurogenetics, with independent practice at Meitra Hospital and Baby Memorial
Hospital across Kozhikode and Kannur. Dr. Sarath R S is an active medical
educator and independent consultant at multiple centres across Angamaly,
Bhubaneswar, Guwahati, and Visakhapatnam. Dr. Kathirvel M specialises in
oncogenetics and complex genomic reanalysis, and independently consults at a
centre in Chennai.

 

Dr. Selvamanojkumar S,
who has presented research at SSIEM Porto 2024 and serves as a biocurator for
the ClinGen international consortium, independently consults at centres in
Mumbai including Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children and P.D. Hinduja
Hospital. Dr. Shifali Gupta, independently is a lead Clinical Geneticist at
PRAGMA Hospital, Bathinda, also runs a widely followed public genetics
education channel on YouTube. Dr. Vishaka Kothiwale focuses on deep phenotyping
and rare paediatric disorders, and independently consults at the Institute of
Child Health, Apollo Clinic, and Manipal Hospitals in Kolkata. Dr. Robert
Patrick Selvam, trained at KMC Manipal and St. John&#039;s Medical College
Bangalore, brings a rare dual background in pathology and medical genetics,
with research presented at ESHG 2025 in Milan. Dr. Roshan Daniel continues as
the founding Geneticist of the platform, and independently heads the Department
of Medical Genetics at KIMSHealth, Trivandrum.

 

All ten specialists
hold DM or DrNB qualifications in Medical Genetics, with training backgrounds
including AIIMS New Delhi, PGIMER Chandigarh, Kasturba Medical College Manipal,
St. John&#039;s Medical College Bangalore, and Harvard Medical School. This is a distinction
that matters: in a genetics testing market where patients are frequently guided
by unqualified counsellors or commercially driven recommendations, Genetidoc&#039;s
model is built entirely around doctors who have spent years training
specifically in this field.

A Note from a Referring Physician

Dr. Amandeep Kaundal,
Pediatrician, Shimla, said:

&quot;In Shimla, there
is no clinical geneticist. When I see a child with a suspected genetic
condition or an unusual developmental profile, I need a referral pathway that
is both credible and practical. Genetidoc has been exactly that, my patients
get a proper genetics consultation promptly, their families are counselled in a
language they understand, and sample collection is arranged locally. It has
changed how I manage these cases.&quot;

Founder&#039;s Statement

Dr. Roshan Daniel, Clinical Geneticist, Founder of Genetidoc,
and Head of the Medical Genetics Department at KIMSHealth, Trivandrum, said:

&quot;India has a
significant shortage of qualified genetics specialists, and the burden falls
hardest on families outside the major cities. Genetidoc was built to bridge
that gap, through online consultations, doorstep sample collection, and a panel
that speaks the patient&#039;s language. The doctors joining us are active
clinicians with deep experience across the country, and they share a commitment
to making genetics accessible. This expansion allows us to serve more families,
in more languages, from more parts of India.&quot;

About Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and
DNA Testing Lab

Genetidoc is India&#039;s
largest network of online genetics specialists, founded by Dr. Roshan Daniel.
The platform offers online consultations, genetic counselling, and DNA testing
across all areas of clinical genetics (prenatal, paediatric, oncological,
metabolic, and neurological) with pan-India sample collection and reporting by
qualified genetics specialists. Testing is processed through NABL and CAP
accredited partner laboratories. You can read more on the

<title>AI risk intelligence startup Privue raises angel round to expand dealer intelligence application</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/ai-risk-intelligence-startup-privue-raises-angel-round-to-expand-dealer-intelligence-application</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/ai-risk-intelligence-startup-privue-raises-angel-round-to-expand-dealer-intelligence-application</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Privue, a startup focused on AI-powered
risk intelligence for enterprises, has raised an angel round of funding. The
round saw participation from owners of large manufacturing companies, along
with senior leaders from real estate, wealth management, and insurance.

Gurugram-headquartered Privue, which
operates under Nexvue Technologies Private Limited, will use the capital to
deepen its AI capabilities and expand its go-to-market presence across sectors
including pharma, MedTech, consumer electricals, agro, chemicals, and other
manufacturing segments.

Founded by Saurabh Verma and Snehil Vijay,
Privue is building a web-based AI risk analytics application that converts
fragmented data—credit bureau records, GST signals, financial filings, and
legal records—into predictive intelligence on dealers and distributors, helping
CFOs, credit heads, and channel managers make faster, data-backed decisions.

Saurabh, Co-founder and CEO, is an alum of
SRCC and ISB Hyderabad, and brings two decades of financial risk management
experience, including seven years at Moody&#039;s, where he worked on data solutions
and risk assessment for banks and financial institutions across the US and the
UK. Snehil, Co-founder and CPO, is an IIT Roorkee alum who worked at HSBC and
JP Morgan before starting Privue.

The startup says most mid-to-large Indian
enterprises still depend on weeks of manual data collection and informal credit
judgments to manage dealer and distributor networks, with collection problems
often surfacing too late to act on.

At the core of the application is an
analytics engine that ingests data across public and proprietary sources to
score dealer risk and algorithmically generate credit terms. The startup
applies this across three stages of the dealer relationship. For dealer
discovery, companies can search from a database of over one million dealers,
filtered by HSN code and location, with each dealer assigned a quality score
derived from publicly available information using a heuristic model—enabling
better dealer selection driven by data rather than field referrals alone.
Before onboarding, the application runs assessments covering GST turnover-based
capacity, compliance, and credit bureau profiles, and recommends credit
terms—advance percentage, credit period, and credit limit—calibrated to the
dealer&#039;s risk profile and the company&#039;s policy. It also sources geo-tagged
facility photographs for physical verification, reducing the need for onsite
visits.

Once a dealer is onboarded, the application
applies analytics to invoicing and collections data to detect early signals of
dealer stress before they turn into bad debt, and automates reminders for
post-dated cheque and bank guarantee due dates.

Two of the application&#039;s agentic AI
capabilities have found particular resonance with clients, according to the
startup. A conversational workspace allows CFOs and Business Development heads
to query their dealer portfolio in natural language and get specific answers in
minutes, instead of waiting days for teams to compile reports. An AI calling
agent handles follow-up calls for overdue collections, cutting the time finance
teams spend chasing payments without adding headcount.

&quot;Saurabh understood the problem from
every angle. Snehil knew exactly how to build the solution,&quot; said one of
the company&#039;s angel investors. &quot;That combination is exactly what a
platform like this needs.&quot;

The startup plans to target enterprises
across pharma, MedTech, Consumer Electricals, Agro, chemicals, and other
manufacturing sectors, where dealer and distributor networks form the backbone
of distribution.

<description><![CDATA[ Assures
cab support within 45 minutes in case of mid-journey bus breakdowns

Hyderabad/Gurugram,
India, 12th June 2026 : AbhiBus (ixigo’s bus business), one of
India’s leading online bus ticketing platforms, today announced the launch of
an industry-first Roadside Assistance program designed to support travellers in
the event of a bus breakdown during their journey.

Under
this initiative, if a bus booked through AbhiBus experiences a breakdown en
route, the platform will arrange a cab within 45 minutes, ensuring
passengers can continue their journey with minimal disruption and greater peace
of mind. The service will be provided at no additional cost to travellers, with
AbhiBus bearing the entire cost of the alternate transport.

Bus
travel has witnessed significant growth across India, particularly in Tier II

occur. With the launch of Roadside Assistance, AbhiBus is extending its
responsibility beyond ticket confirmation and stepping in when travellers need
support the most.

By
introducing guaranteed cab support within 45 minutes during breakdowns, AbhiBus
aims to address one of the biggest anxieties associated with bus travel-being
stranded on the highway. The initiative reflects the company&#039;s continued focus
on building greater reliability, accountability and trust in intercity bus
travel across India.

Commenting
on the launch, Rohit Sharma, COO, AbhiBus, said, &quot;Consumer
empathy is at the heart of everything we do. We go to great lengths to partner
with trusted operators and help travellers make informed choices through
quality and safety-focused features. At the same time, we recognise that
unexpected disruptions like bus breakdowns can be stressful, especially during
long or late-night journeys. With Roadside Assistance, we&#039;re ensuring that our
customers are never left stranded. For us, the travel experience doesn&#039;t end at
booking- it continues throughout the journey, and we&#039;re committed to being
there when our customers need us the most.&quot; 

The
company has also launched a new campaign featuring iconic dancer and actor
Prabhu Deva to promote its Roadside Assistance service.

<title>How PB Fintech is building a trust&#45;first ecosystem across insurance and healthcare</title>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-pb-fintech-is-building-a-trust-first-ecosystem-across-insurance-and-healthcare</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  - Shruti Pal

As
India moves towards its ambitious vision of becoming a developed economy by
2047, one question becomes increasingly important: what needs to change in the
country&#039;s financial ecosystem to make that journey possible?

To
explore that question, Why Not Mint Money and Policybazaar brought together
some of the most influential voices shaping India&#039;s financial future. The
series examined the structural challenges, opportunities and reforms needed to
build a more inclusive, trusted and resilient financial system.

The
first episode featured Monika Halan in conversation with Yashish Dahiya,
Chairman and Group CEO of PB Fintech, the parent company of Policybazaar and
Paisabazaar. What began as a discussion around insurance and financial services
quickly expanded into a larger conversation about trust, data, regulation,
healthcare and the road to Viksit Bharat.

India&#039;s
Financial Story And Its Missing Piece

One
of the central themes of the discussion was that India has made tremendous
strides in payments and mutual funds because they are relatively simple
products.Growth &quot;gets stuck&quot; when dealing with products involving
risk, specifically credit and insurance. Yashish mentioned that Regardless of
whether it is credit cards (fewer than 50 million), retail health insurance (60
million insured), or term insurance (15 million insured), the penetration
consistently sits at roughly 3% of the population at a family level.To become a
developed country, the next 30% of the population - representing half a billion
people - must be served.

Why
Data Will Define Financial Inclusion

A
recurring theme throughout the episode was the role of data in expanding
financial access. Yashish believes that India&#039;s next phase of financial
inclusion would depend on the ability to assess risk more accurately and
fairly. Better access to data can make loans, insurance and other financial
products available to millions who are currently excluded because institutions
lack sufficient information to evaluate them. The discussion also underscored a
broader shift that India may need to make from decisions based on institutional
capacity to decisions driven by data and risk assessment. As Yashish put it,
India must move from a &quot;capacity approach&quot; to a &quot;data
approach&quot;, using information, transparency and scientific underwriting to
expand access at scale.

Building
Trust in Insurance

Despite
growing awareness of insurance, India&#039;s consumers continue to approach
financial products with caution, particularly insurance. While customers are
willing to pay premiums for years, many remain uncertain whether their claims
will be honoured when they need support the most.&quot;Claims are
non-negotiable,&quot; he said, once an insurer has assessed and accepted a
customer, the promise made to that customer must be honoured.

As
we went ahead in the conversation, the issue of mis-selling and product
suitability was also discussed. As per Yashish, financial products cannot be
sold using a one-size-fits-all approach. The right product depends on a
person&#039;s age, goals, risk appetite and financial circumstances. Instead of
focusing solely on distribution, the industry must place greater emphasis on
understanding customer needs before making recommendations.

PB
Health and the Next Phase of India&#039;s Healthcare Evolution

The
episode also touched upon PB Fintech’s foray into healthcare through PB HEALTH
and the role of technology, insurance and healthcare providers in improving
patient outcomes. He outlined his vision of creating more integrated healthcare
networks that align incentives between insurers, hospitals and patients,
reducing friction and improving outcomes. The discussion also highlighted the
scale of the healthcare opportunity that Policybazaar expects to serve nearly
40 million health insurance customers by 2030-31. At current healthcare
utilisation rates, the customer base would require access to approximately
32,000 hospital beds, underscoring the need for more efficient and coordinated
healthcare delivery models.

Looking
Beyond 2047 

The
conversation with Yashish Dahiya raises questions that go well beyond insurance
and healthcare. It is ultimately about the kind of financial system India wants
to build over the next two decades, one that is driven by data rather than
discretion, suitability rather than sales, and long-term trust rather than
short-term transactions. As this five-episode series unfolds, those questions
will remain central to understanding what it will take to build a truly Viksit
Bharat. ]]></description>

<title>Unimech Aerospace rebounds from a tariff&#45;hit year; order book triples to ~Rs. 314 crore as scale becomes its competitive moat</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/unimech-aerospace-rebounds-from-a-tariff-hit-year-order-book-triples-to-rs-314-crore-as-scale-becomes-its-competitive-moat</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/unimech-aerospace-rebounds-from-a-tariff-hit-year-order-book-triples-to-rs-314-crore-as-scale-becomes-its-competitive-moat</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru : Unimech Aerospace &amp; Manufacturing Ltd., a
Bengaluru-based high precision engineering solutions provider, has returned to
growth after a year of temporary disruption in global customer ordering. Its
consolidated order book has tripled to approximately ₹314 crore as of 26 May,
2026, from about ₹100 crore a year earlier, and the fourth quarter marked a
decisive turn.

Through
much of FY26, a wave of CY2025 tariff measures, baseline US duties, and
reciprocal tariffs, led global buyers to pause and defer orders. For FY26,
Unimech’s total revenue stood at ₹287.5 crore. EBITDA of ₹75.1 crore and PAT of
₹63.3 crore moderated largely by design: the company front-loaded investment in
capacity, capability and talent to build ahead of the recovery.

For
Q4 FY26, total revenue rose to ₹96.6 crore, up 116% sequentially and 23%
year-on-year; EBITDA recovered to ₹35.2 crore from ₹1.5 crore in Q3 FY26, and
PAT to ₹26.1 crore from ₹2.4 crore in Q3 FY26. More than 200 first-article
qualifications completed during the year, some of which are now converting into
production. Collectively, the current order book, provides strong revenue
visibility over the next 12 months and beyond. 

Unimech’s
advantage rests on a deeply integrated manufacturing and qualification platform
— spanning nearly 6,000 SKUs, a qualification engine that approved over 200
first articles last year and is targeting a meaningful scale-up in FY27, and a
manufacturing footprint exceeding 600,000 sq. ft. Each qualified part
strengthens Unimech’s integration within customer supply chains, gradually
increasing switching costs over time. In precision engineering, particularly
within aerospace, energy and high-spec industrial applications, supplier
qualification is a long and rigorous process involving process validation,
repeatability checks, documentation standards and customer approvals. Once a
supplier is qualified and embedded into an OEM or Tier-1 programme, replacement
becomes both time-consuming and operationally expensive.

As
seen with some of India’s strongest precision-engineering suppliers, durable
competitive advantages are not built purely on production volume, but on the
breadth of qualified capabilities, process reliability and customer embedment.
Every additional approved component expands the company’s relevance within existing
programmes while opening adjacencies across platforms and customers. Over time,
this creates a compounding moat driven by qualification depth, engineering
credibility and execution consistency rather than scale alone.

The
acquisition of Hobel Bellows was also aligned with Unimech’s long-term growth
and capability strategy. The transaction strengthens the group’s manufacturing
depth and engineering capabilities, enabling Unimech to offer larger and more
integrated solution packages to customers while increasing wallet share across
existing relationships. The acquisition also enhances the company’s positioning
in high-precision and critical application segments, where customers
increasingly prefer integrated suppliers with broader manufacturing capabilities.
Additionally, during the year, the company received about ₹87 crore of nuclear
orders tied to the Tarapur and Madras stations, positioning Unimech for India’s
Nuclear Energy Mission target of 100 GW by 2047 (from under 9 GW currently).

Building
on the capabilities, Unimech’s associate entity Dheya Engineering Technologies
is developing indigenous micro gas turbine engines under the Make in India
initiative, strengthening its position in advanced propulsion technologies.
Unimech’s exclusive manufacturing partnership for several of these offerings
creates meaningful long-term opportunities for Unimech in advanced propulsion
and defence applications.

The
company is also expanding its international footprint through a joint venture
with the Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Group in Saudi Arabia. Phase I of the project,
involving a planned investment of US$30 million, is already underway, with
investment approvals secured and facility finalisation and machine procurement
activities initiated. The platform is expected to emerge as an important
long-term growth driver for the company.

Unimech
enters FY27 against a supportive backdrop, as global manufacturers accelerate
sourcing from India, with utilisation expected to substantially improve from
its current 50% levels over the next 30 to 36 months.

<title>Bengaluru Hospital Builds One of the World&amp;apos;s Largest English&#45;Language Gastroenterology Education Channels on YouTube</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/bengaluru-hospital-builds-one-of-the-worlds-largest-english-language-gastroenterology-education-channels-on-youtube</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/bengaluru-hospital-builds-one-of-the-worlds-largest-english-language-gastroenterology-education-channels-on-youtube</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  
With more than 100,000 subscribers and over 18 million views, Bangalore Gastro
Centre Hospitals has transformed patient education into one of the largest
digestive-health knowledge libraries online.

For many hospitals, a YouTube channel serves as little more than a digital
brochure—a place for welcome videos, doctor introductions, and occasional event
highlights. Bangalore Gastro Centre (BGC) Hospitals took a different approach.

The Bengaluru-based gastroenterology hospital viewed digital education as an extension
of patient care itself. Over the years, that vision has grown into an
extraordinary achievement. Today, BGC&#039;s English-language YouTube channel has
crossed 100,000 subscribers, accumulated over 18 million views, and published
more than 524 educational videos focused on digestive health.

Based on publicly available channel data, the hospital believes it has built
one of the largest English-language YouTube channels operated by a
gastroenterology hospital anywhere in the world.

What makes the milestone particularly noteworthy is that it has been achieved
not through entertainment-driven content or viral trends, but through
consistent, evidence-based patient education delivered by practising
specialists.

Patient Education, One Question at a Time

The success of the channel stems from a simple principle: answer the questions
patients ask every day.

What happens during an endoscopy? When should someone undergo a colonoscopy?
What are the warning signs of liver disease? How serious is persistent acidity?
What dietary changes can improve digestive health?

These are the concerns that bring patients to gastroenterology clinics, and
they are the same questions addressed across BGC&#039;s growing video library.

Procedures that often sound intimidating are explained calmly and clearly by
the specialists who perform them. Common digestive disorders are discussed in
straightforward language. Nutrition, preventive healthcare, liver health,
gastrointestinal cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, and advanced endoscopic
procedures are all covered in a manner designed to empower patients rather than
overwhelm them.

Over time, this steady commitment to education has created a trusted resource
for viewers seeking reliable digestive-health information.

Expanding Access Through Regional Languages

BGC&#039;s educational mission extends beyond English.

The hospital&#039;s dedicated Kannada-language YouTube channel has grown to more
than 80,000 subscribers and features hundreds of educational videos tailored
specifically for Kannada-speaking audiences.

Together, BGC&#039;s English and Kannada channels now reach more than 1.80 lakh
subscribers, making digestive-health education accessible to diverse
communities across Karnataka and beyond.

For many patients and families, receiving healthcare information in their
native language improves understanding, reduces anxiety, and empowers informed
decision-making. By investing in separate channels rather than simply
translating content, BGC has been able to serve audiences more effectively and
authentically.

Expertise Beyond Hospital Walls

The authority of the channels reflects the expertise of the institution behind
them.

Bangalore Gastro Centre Hospitals is led by Dr. Yogananda Reddy, Director and
Chief Gastroenterologist, who trained in the United Kingdom and brings more
than two decades of experience in digestive healthcare.

The hospital is NABH accredited and supported by a multidisciplinary team
comprising gastroenterologists, GI surgeons, oncologists, nutritionists,
psychologists, and allied specialists.

Beyond its hospital-based services, BGC has distinguished itself through its
commitment to community healthcare. The institution pioneered Karnataka&#039;s First
Gastroenterology on Wheels initiative, bringing super-speciality
gastroenterology services free of cost to underserved communities and ensuring
that expert digestive healthcare reaches patients beyond the boundaries of
traditional hospitals.

The hospital has also undertaken extensive rural outreach initiatives,
conducting awareness programmes, educational campaigns, health camps, and
preventive-health activities in communities where specialist digestive-health
services may otherwise be difficult to access.

These efforts reflect the same philosophy that drives BGC&#039;s digital platforms:
quality healthcare and trusted medical information should be accessible to
everyone, regardless of geography.

&quot;Trust Travels&quot;

&quot;We never set out to build a large channel. We set out to answer our
patients&#039; questions properly—and it turns out lakhs of people had the same
questions. If a video helps someone understand a symptom earlier, seek medical
attention sooner, or walk into an endoscopy without fear, that is the real
outcome. The subscriber count is simply a reflection of the trust people place
in reliable medical information.&quot;

— Dr. Yogananda Reddy
Director &amp; Chief Gastroenterologist
Bangalore Gastro Centre Hospitals

Why It Matters

Digestive symptoms are among the most commonly ignored and self-medicated
health concerns. Delayed diagnosis, misinformation, and fear often prevent
patients from seeking timely treatment.

By providing free, evidence-based educational content online—and by extending
specialist services through rural outreach programmes and Karnataka&#039;s First
Gastroenterology on Wheels initiative—BGC has expanded its impact far beyond
traditional hospital walls.

Whether through a YouTube video watched at home, a family learning about
nutrition, or a screening initiative conducted in a rural community, the goal
remains the same: making digestive healthcare more accessible, understandable,
and timely.

In this sense, the hospital&#039;s digital platforms represent more than
communication channels. They are an extension of its healthcare mission.

Looking Ahead

The milestone aligns with BGC&#039;s broader vision of becoming a globally
recognised centre for excellence in digestive healthcare.

As the hospital continues to expand its clinical services, research
initiatives, outreach programmes, and educational platforms, it remains
committed to ensuring that trustworthy healthcare information reaches as many
people as possible.

For now, the achievement stands as a remarkable example of how a specialist
hospital from Bengaluru has built a global audience—not through spectacle, but
through consistent education, clinical expertise, and a commitment to answering
the questions patients have always wanted answered.

About Bangalore Gastro Centre Hospitals

Bangalore Gastro Centre (BGC) Hospitals is a leading gastroenterology and
digestive-health institution based in Bengaluru, India. The hospital provides
advanced care across medical gastroenterology, surgical gastroenterology, GI
oncology, liver diseases, nutrition, preventive digestive healthcare, and
related specialties.

Led by UK-trained gastroenterologist Dr. Yogananda Reddy, BGC is NABH
accredited and recognised for its commitment to clinical excellence, patient
education, rural outreach, innovation, and community-focused digestive
healthcare.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
India : A&amp;H Finverse, the next chapter in
the journey of one of India&#039;s most trusted financial services firms, today
announced its formal presence as the evolved identity of A&amp;H Capital — a
name that has stood for integrity, responsible lending, and transformative
business finance since July 2014. Built on a foundation of over a decade of
excellence, A&amp;H Finverse is now positioned to deliver strategic, customized
financial solutions tailored for large-ticket clients with complex, high-value

over 24 years in underwriting and risk management — A&amp;H Capital disbursed
more than ₹10,000 Crores across its decade-long journey, serving 5,000+
clients spanning MSMEs, textiles, infrastructure, real estate, agriculture,
and beyond. That legacy of trust and expertise is now the bedrock upon which
A&amp;H Finverse stands.

India&#039;s ambitious businesses deserve to have solved.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ 11
June 2026 | New Delhi : Innefu Labs, India’s leading Artificial
Intelligence company in the space of National Security, founded by Tarun Wig
and Abhishek Sharma, has raised USD 30M from Panthera Growth Partners, marking
one of the most significant milestones in India&#039;s National Security technology
sector. The company has been at the forefront of creating indigenous platforms
and multi-modal fusion systems currently deployed across defense, intelligence,
law enforcement, revenue intelligence, and large enterprise clients.

The
capital injection, completed through a combination of primary and secondary
transactions from Panthera’s second fund, positions Innefu for an IPO and
accelerates its push into international markets after Innefu’s initial
successful forays in Middle East.

The
investment comes as India&#039;s sovereign defense initiatives drive sharply
increased domestic procurement of critical security technologies. Building on
consistent revenues above ₹100 crore, Innefu’s momentum is reflected in a
growing pool of multiple ₹100 crore+ contracts spanning defense, intelligence,
law enforcement, and revenue intelligence operations.

The
proceeds will fund Innefu&#039;s next phase of scaling and global expansion,
alongside deep-tech R&amp;D anchored in its AI-first, sovereign capabilities.
This includes advancing its proprietary Agentic AI platform, establishing a
dedicated Physical AI (robotics) wing, and developing sovereign AI
infrastructure with secure, domain-specialized language models built for
high-trust environments.

Tarun
Wig, Co-Founder and CEO of Innefu Labs, stated:
&quot;When we started Innefu, our vision was clear: India should never have to
depend on external technologies to secure its people, its institutions, or its
digital future. Over the last fifteen years, we have transformed that vision
into reality, building indigenous AI-powered platforms that protect critical
national assets, empower decision-makers, and strengthen the country&#039;s security
ecosystem.

We
now intend to scale our innovations faster, deepen our investments in advanced
AI and further enhance our autonomous decision-support systems. We believe the
next wave of technological leadership will belong to nations that own their
intelligence capabilities, and Innefu is committed to ensuring that India
stands at the forefront of that transformation.

What
excites us most is that we are still at the beginning of our story. The
foundations have been laid, the talent is in place, and the mission has never
been clearer. With this new chapter, we are not just building a company, we are
helping build the technological backbone of a secure, self-reliant, and
AI-powered India for generations to come.&quot;

Shilpa
Kulkarni, Founder and Managing Partner of Panthera Growth Partners, stated:  &quot;Innefu has built native, AI-powered
software that solve critical challenges in national defense and enterprise
security infrastructure. Our investment decision is based on their proprietary
technology, deep domain expertise, and a proven track record in high-stakes,
mission-critical environments. We are partnering with Innefu to support their
growth ambitions as they prepare for public markets.&quot; 

Operational
Footprint and Market Context

The
domestic security technology market involves complex technical requirements
historically met by international defense vendors. Innefu&#039;s deployments include
several national scale AI intelligence fusion centres including India&#039;s first
National Terrorism Data Fusion Centre, Southeast Asia&#039;s largest operational
Intelligence Fusion Centre, Revenue Intelligence Fusion Platforms, Predictive
Policing Platforms, Indigenous open-source intelligence (OSINT) and Deep Web
Fusion Platform for Law Enforcement &amp; Defense Agencies.

Abhishek
Sharma, Co-Founder and CTO of Innefu Labs, added:
&quot;For over a decade, we&#039;ve solved mission-critical challenges for defense,
intelligence, and investigative agencies. As governments worldwide move toward
AI-driven decision-making, our mission is to build trusted, AI-first indigenous
platforms that strengthen national security and keep critical data &amp; platforms
sovereign. This funding accelerates our next chapter: advancing our Agentic AI
capabilities, venturing into Physical AI and robotics, and expanding globally,
building the full sovereign AI stack that high-trust environments demand&quot;

Krishan
Kant Rathi, Managing Partner at First Bridge Investment Managers, stated: “We
are proud to have backed Innefu Labs in 2017, recognizing its vision to build
AI-driven platforms for India’s critical sectors. It is immensely satisfying to
see Innefu emerge as a key technology partner for national intelligence and
investigative agencies. This funding round will further accelerate its growth
and global expansion.”

Panthera’s
second fund, backed by institutional investors from India, the European Union,
and the United States, focuses on growth-stage companies with established
product-market fit, deploying an average capital allocation of USD 20 million
per company across India and Southeast Asia. The firm’s historical portfolio
across its fund vehicles includes allocations in FoxTale, OfBusiness, Zivame,
Travelstack Tech, EMotorad, Flipspaces etc.

<title>Inside Akutee: How A Long&#45;Standing Painting Practice Found Its Way Into Clothing And Home</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/inside-akutee-how-a-long-standing-painting-practice-found-its-way-into-clothing-and-home</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/inside-akutee-how-a-long-standing-painting-practice-found-its-way-into-clothing-and-home</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

India, 11 June 2026 : For Urmila
Ghatge and Sagarika Z Ghatge, Akutee did not begin with a business plan, a
collection, or an intention to build a brand. It began much earlier, through a
relationship with painting, textiles, and the objects that gradually became
part of everyday life.

 

What
began as a personal artistic practice eventually became part of the visual
environment Sagarika grew up around. For over four decades, Urmila Ghatge has
painted by hand. Amongst her many artistically rich craftsmanship, her floral
motifs appeared on garments she wore, fabrics around the home, and objects
collected over time. 

 

When
Akutee was
established, that practice naturally found expression through clothing.
Hand-painted garments became the first extension of a language that had already
existed within the family for generations.

 

Over
time, the same sensibility extended beyond the wardrobe. Through Akutee
Home, hand-painting now appears across
furnishings, lampshades, textiles, and bespoke pieces created for homes and
hospitality environments.

 

Rather
than approaching clothing and home as separate categories, Akutee sees both as
part of the same continuum - shaped by material, memory, and the way people choose
to live with the things around them.

 

Speaking
about the evolution of the practice, Sagarika Z Ghatge said, “A lot of what
informs Akutee already existed around us long before we thought of creating a
brand, whether it was my mother&#039;s paintings, the fabrics we grew up with, or
the way spaces and objects were lived with over time. We simply continued what
felt natural to us. There was never a deliberate distinction between clothing
and home because both came from the same place. The paintings, the textiles,
the objects, the spaces - they were always part of the same environment.”

 

Today,
Akutee continues across both clothing and home through a shared artistic
language shaped by hand-painting, conversance, and a practice that has evolved
gradually over time.

 

About Akutee

 

Founded
by Urmila Ghatge and Sagarika Z Ghatge, Akutee brings together clothing and
home through a long-standing hand-painting practice. Across Akutee Store and
Akutee Home, the work draws from textiles, paintings, objects, and references
that have remained part of everyday life across generations. The result is a
body of work that extends across wardrobes, interiors, and hospitality spaces
while remaining rooted in the same artistic foundation. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

Hyderabad,
June 11, 2026 : Building on themes highlighted around World
Environment Day, the Indian School of Business (ISB) continues to spotlight
research on climate resilience, sustainable development, and environmental
governance through its knowledge platform, ISB Discover.

As
climate change, water scarcity, biodiversity loss, and environmental
degradation pose growing challenges globally, the research featured on ISB
Discover highlights how effective environmental action requires integrating
sustainability with livelihoods, financial inclusion, resource governance, and
climate adaptation.

ISB
Discover translates rigorous academic research into accessible and actionable
insights for practitioners, policymakers, business leaders, and journalists,
helping to bridge the gap between scholarship and real-world impact.

Key
insights from ISB Discover&#039;s research include:

●       
Forest conservation must prioritise people,
not just trees: Community-centred approaches can improve the
effectiveness and long-term sustainability of conservation efforts.

●       
Financial inclusion can strengthen climate
resilience: Expanding access to financial services can
help vulnerable communities manage risk and recover more effectively from
climate-related disruptions.

●       
Millets can support sustainable agriculture:
Crop diversification can improve farm profitability while enhancing resource
efficiency and resilience to climate-related risks.

●       
Himalayan farmers offer lessons in climate
adaptation: Local knowledge and community-led innovation
can play an important role in building resilience to environmental change.

●       
India&#039;s forest economy needs greater
visibility: Better measurement of forest-based economic
activity can support more informed policy, investment, and sustainability
decisions.

●       
Women bear a disproportionate burden of
climate change: More inclusive decision-making can strengthen
the effectiveness of climate adaptation and resilience strategies.

●       
Groundwater governance requires urgent reform:
Sustainable water management depends on stronger institutions, better
incentives, and more effective coordination among stakeholders.

Professor
Karthik Balakrishnan, Deputy Dean - Faculty and Research, ISB,
said, &quot;Environmental challenges do not exist in isolation — they are
deeply interconnected with questions of livelihoods, governance, equity, and
economic development. As a business school, ISB sits at the intersection of
these forces, and we believe the private sector has both the responsibility and
the capability to be part of the solution. Through rigorous research, we seek
to generate insights that help policymakers, businesses, and practitioners
design strategies that are both sustainable and commercially viable.&quot;

The
research featured on ISB Discover reflects ISB&#039;s commitment to addressing
complex societal challenges through interdisciplinary scholarship. By bringing
together expertise in public policy, economics, sustainability, technology, and
management, the school continues to contribute to evidence-based discussions on
India&#039;s development priorities.  

Through
articles, explainers, videos, podcasts, and expert commentary, ISB Discover
makes cutting-edge research accessible to a wider audience and supports
informed decision-making across sectors.

About
the Indian School of Business (ISB)

The
Indian School of Business (ISB) is India’s highest-ranked business school and
features in the top league of several global business school rankings. A
vibrant pool of research-oriented resident faculty, robust academic
partnerships, a thriving alumni network, the backing of an influential board,
and the guidance of the industry’s thought leadership have enabled ISB to fast

<title>The Indian E&#45;Commerce Bet Nobody Made: Letting People Bargain | Gajab.com</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-indian-e-commerce-bet-nobody-made-letting-people-bargain-gajabcom</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-indian-e-commerce-bet-nobody-made-letting-people-bargain-gajabcom</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

11 June 2026 :  Walk through any market in India (the wholesale gullies of Surat, the morning
mandis of Pune, the kirana lanes of Lucknow, the crowded electronics markets of
Chennai) and you will hear the same low hum of commerce. Prices being named.
Countered. Pushed back on. Adjusted. And finally, with some performance of
reluctant agreement on both sides, landed on. The transaction completes.
Everyone moves on.

This is not a habit
that is fading. According to a joint report by Boston Consulting Group and the
Retailers Association of India, more than 80% of
India&#039;s $940 billion retail market is still unorganised: the local
stores, street markets and neighbourhood vendors where bargaining is simply how
things work. The same report confirms that over
58% of all Indian retail purchases still happen offline, even as
India has become the world&#039;s third-largest market for online shoppers.

A separate PwC Global Consumer Insights Pulse Survey, India perspective
(June 2023) finds that around 66% of Indian consumers, well above the global
figure of 56%, almost always or frequently use their smartphone to research
products for competitive prices, special offers and availability before
purchasing. India is not price-passive online. It is actively searching for a
better deal. It just cannot ask for one.

India&#039;s e-commerce
industry, valued at $125 billion in 2024 and among the fastest-growing in the
world, has not found a way to include any of it.

That is the gap a new
platform called Gajab.com is now attempting to close.

What
E-Commerce Took Away

The story of Indian
e-commerce is largely a story of convenience. Faster delivery, cleaner
interfaces, one-click payments, next-day fulfilment; every major improvement
has been about removing friction from the path between buyer and product.

What did not survive
this process was the buyer&#039;s voice in setting the price.

In traditional Indian
retail, pricing is not a finished statement; it is the opening of a
conversation. The seller names a number. The buyer reacts. Something happens in
between that gives both sides a sense of having arrived at a fair outcome
together. This is what Indian shoppers mean when they talk about a bargain. Not
the discount. The process.

“The
buyer can accept or leave, but they cannot participate. That layer of the
transaction has been designed out of existence.”

Indian e-commerce
replaced this process entirely. Discounts are real, but they are the platform&#039;s
decisions. Coupons exist, but they appear when the platform decides. Flash
sales create urgency, but not agency. The power to influence the final price
has never passed to the buyer&#039;s side of the screen.

What makes this more
notable is that it was not inevitable. International platforms like eBay had
built pricing flexibility into their models through bidding and offer
mechanisms long before Indian e-commerce scaled. A buyer in Germany or
Singapore could submit an offer on a listing and bargain toward a price. That
feature never made it into the Indian shopping experience, despite India being,
by most measures, the world’s most price-sensitive large consumer market.

The
Founder

Shahnawaz Merchant, who
founded Gajab, spent years as a seller on international e-commerce platforms
including eBay, trading with buyers across Singapore, the United States, the
Middle East and Germany. The contrast he observed there was direct.
International buyers on those platforms could make offers. They could submit a
number and wait to see what happened. That back-and-forth (the digital
equivalent of the bazaar exchange) was built into the experience as a standard
feature.

Indian e-commerce
offered none of this. The platforms had chosen speed and scale over
participation. Merchant watched the industry move further in that direction,
more automated, more frictionless, more fixed, while the country’s actual
retail behaviour stayed stubbornly unchanged in its preference for the bargain.

The
Platform

Gajab, available on
Android, iOS and at gajab.com, is built on a single premise: give the buyer a
say in the price.

The platform lets
buyers submit what they consider a fair price for any listed product (what
Gajab calls the buyer’s &quot;Mera Right
Price&quot;), a deliberate play on MRP (Maximum Retail Price), the
printed figure that has always told Indian consumers what a product costs,
without ever asking what they think it should.

An automated bargaining
engine evaluates each offer against the seller’s pre-set floor price and
parameters and responds, without any direct interaction between buyer and
seller being required. Sellers define their floor and their bargaining range at
the time of listing. Buyers submit an offer. The platform handles the exchange.
The average bargain completes in under 30
seconds, faster than checking prices across two competing apps.

Gajab has launched in
beta across India with 5,000 SKUs across three
categories: toys and games, home and kitchen, and stationery. The
company is targeting 25,000 SKUs before the end
of the current quarter, more than doubling its opening catalogue
within 90 days of going live.

The category choices
carry a logic. Toys and games are bought for occasions (birthdays, festivals,
gifts), making buyers particularly price-conscious and motivated to seek a
better deal. Home and kitchen and stationery are repeat-purchase categories
where comparison shopping is already standard behaviour. These are buyers who
are, in effect, already looking for their right price. Gajab is the first
platform to let them say it.

What
Early Users Found

Among buyers who tried
the beta, Goutham from Bangalore described his first experience plainly. &quot;Finding
a bargain feature like this online was a complete surprise,&quot; he said.
&quot;I loved my first bargain and placed my order right away.&quot;

On the seller&#039;s side,
Sagar Navapara, Proprietor of Unique International, said the speed of his first
conversion stood out. &quot;I got my first order within three days of going
live on Gajab. It is the easiest marketplace I have listed on.&quot;

The Larger Bet

The problem Gajab is
attempting to solve is hard to dismiss. Deloitte and FICCI data shows that Tier
2 and Tier 3 cities now account for over 60% of e-commerce transactions in
India. These are markets where bargaining has not retreated into nostalgia. It
is a current behaviour, practised daily in physical retail. As digital commerce
expands deeper into Bharat, the gap between how those consumers shop offline
and what online platforms offer them is not closing. It may, in fact, be
widening.

Indian e-commerce has
spent a decade asking India to shop differently.

“Gajab
is asking India to shop like itself.”

<title>Entrepreneur S M Tehseen Expands Advisory Practice as Founders Move Toward Lean, AI Driven Operations</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Founder of Cozystayz, Fedorino and Geekynd
opens a limited set of consulting and micro investment engagements for early
stage businesses focused on efficiency over headcount

India, [11/06/2026] : Entrepreneur, micro
investor and growth partner S M Tehseen has expanded his advisory practice,
opening a limited number of consulting and micro investment engagements for
early stage founders who want to scale without the weight of oversized teams
and fixed costs. The move responds to a clear shift among founders who are now
judged on efficiency as much as on growth.

The change reflects a wider correction
across markets. After a prolonged funding slowdown and rising operating costs,
the familiar pattern of hiring quickly and repairing operations later has
become difficult to sustain. The alternative gaining ground is to build leaner
from the outset, with documented systems and artificial intelligence handling
work that once demanded steadily growing headcount.

&quot;Most early founders do not have a
growth problem, they have a leverage problem,&quot; said S M Tehseen, founder
of Geekynd. &quot;They are doing too much by hand and hiring too early to cover
for systems that were never built properly. The work I do with them is about
fixing that order, building lean operations, applying AI where it genuinely
saves time, and getting the backbone right before scale, not after something
breaks.&quot;

Tehseen&#039;s view is grounded in operating
experience across three very different sectors. He is the founder of Cozystayz,
a boutique hospitality venture, Fedorino, a haute couture label, and Geekynd,
an AI powered growth partner that runs customer support, virtual assistance and
backend operations for fast moving brands through dedicated remote teams.
Building companies in hospitality, fashion and digital services has produced an
unusually broad view of what slows businesses down, which is seldom a shortage
of ambition and more often operational drag: unclear processes, premature
hiring, scattered tools and a founder who has quietly become the bottleneck.

That diagnosis shapes the practice. In
place of generic strategy decks, the focus stays on the operating layer of a
business, how work moves, where time leaks, which tasks belong to automation,
which belong to a remote team, and which a founder should stop doing
altogether. The intended outcome is leverage, allowing revenue to rise without
cost and complexity climbing at the same rate.

Artificial intelligence runs through the
approach, though with a deliberate qualification. The opportunity for a smaller
business, in this framing, is practical rather than theatrical.

&quot;AI is not about replacing a team with
a chatbot,&quot; Tehseen said. &quot;For a small business it is leverage. The
right tools let a lean team deliver more, respond faster and spend their hours
on the work that actually moves the business, instead of the work a system
should be handling on its own.&quot;

Alongside consulting and advisory
engagements, Tehseen remains an active micro investor, backing a select group
of early stage founders. Those investments are paired with hands on operational
support rather than capital alone, an approach built on the belief that first
time founders gain more from a partner inside the work than from funding by
itself.

The same body of work has positioned
Tehseen as a speaker on entrepreneurship, operations and the everyday
application of AI in lean businesses, with attention to the less glamorous
fundamentals: cash discipline, operating systems, timing a hire correctly, and
the distance between motion and genuine progress.

The timing is intentional. As more founders
set out to do more with less, a gap is widening between businesses that treat
operations and AI as an afterthought and those that design them in from the
first day. The expanded practice is aimed squarely at the second group. A
limited number of consulting, advisory, micro investment and speaking
engagements are open at present.

About S M Tehseen S M Tehseen is an
entrepreneur, micro investor, business consultant, speaker and author based in
India. He is the founder of Cozystayz (boutique hospitality), Fedorino (haute
couture) and Geekynd (an AI powered growth partner for fast moving brands).
Drawing on operating experience across hospitality, fashion and digital
services, he works with early stage and growing founders on growth strategy,
operational design, remote team structures and the practical use of AI in lean
businesses. Learn more at https://smtehseen.com

<title>Rainbow Children&amp;apos;s Hospital Achieves One of India&amp;apos;s Longest duration Pediatric ECMO Air Retrievals, Saves 8&#45;Year&#45;Old Boy After 36 Days on Life Support</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/rainbow-childrens-hospital-achieves-one-of-indias-longest-duration-pediatric-ecmo-air-retrievals-saves-8-year-old-boy-after-36-days-on-life-support</link>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Rainbow&#039;s ECMO Retrieval Team flew over 3,600
km to bring a critically ill child from Guwahati to Hyderabad, marking the
first reported pediatric ECMO from North East India

●       
Child survived severe Influenza B pneumonia
after spending 36 days on ECMO, making it one of the longest pediatric ECMO
support cases involving air transport in the country

Hyderabad, 11th
June, 2026 : An 8-year-old boy from Guwahati who was
fighting for every breath after a severe Influenza B infection has made a
remarkable recovery following a complex cross-country rescue mission by Rainbow
Children&#039;s Hospital, Hyderabad, India&#039;s leading pediatric multi-specialty and
perinatal care hospital chain. The child was airlifted on ECMO support from
Guwahati to Hyderabad and went on to survive 36 days on advanced life support,
making it one of the country&#039;s most extraordinary pediatric ECMO recoveries.

The child was admitted
to a hospital in Guwahati with severe pneumonia caused by Influenza B
infection. Despite being on a ventilator for nearly a week, his condition
continued to deteriorate, and his oxygen levels remained critically low. With
conventional treatment options exhausted, Rainbow Children&#039;s Hospital activated
its specialized ECMO Retrieval Team to undertake a highly complex rescue mission.

The mission was led by
Dr. Kapil B. Sachane, Pediatric ECMO Specialist at Rainbow Children&#039;s Hospital,
Hyderabad. The team travelled from Hyderabad to Guwahati, where they
established and initiated ECMO support at the referring hospital itself, demonstrating
the capability to deliver advanced life support directly at the bedside, even
in distant locations.

The team initiated
Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV ECMO), an advanced
life-support therapy used when the lungs can no longer provide adequate oxygen
to the body. Once the child was stabilized on ECMO, he was airlifted nearly
1,800 kilometres to Hyderabad for advanced critical care.

The retrieval operation
involved a total travel distance of more than 3,600 kilometres by the Rainbow team
and approximately 24 hours from ECMO initiation to successful handover in
Hyderabad. To the hospital&#039;s knowledge, this represents one of the
longest-duration pediatric ECMO air retrievals reported in India and the first
pediatric ECMO from North East India.



What followed was an
equally challenging battle. The child remained on ECMO support for over five
weeks, requiring round-the-clock multidisciplinary care from pediatric
intensivists, ECMO specialists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, perfusionists,
nurses, respiratory therapists and rehabilitation specialists. During his stay,
he developed a difficult-to-treat infection, further complicating his recovery.

Despite the odds, the
young patient gradually improved. After 36 days on ECMO support, he was successfully
weaned off ECMO and continued to make steady progress. He is now clinically
stable and ready to return home to his family.

&quot;When we first
evaluated the child in Guwahati, his lungs had been severely damaged by the
infection and conventional ventilation was no longer enough to sustain him.
ECMO was his only chance. Transporting a critically ill child on ECMO across
such a long distance is a highly complex operation that requires coordination
at every step. Our team was able to establish ECMO support directly at the
referring hospital before transport, which is critical in such time-sensitive
situations. What makes this case even more remarkable is that the retrieval was
only the beginning. He remained on ECMO for 36 days and battled several complications
before gradually recovering. Watching him walk out of the hospital and prepare
to return home is the greatest reward for our entire team,&quot; said Dr.
Kapil B Sachane, Pediatric Intensivist and ECMO Specialist, Rainbow Children&#039;s
Hospital, Hyderabad.

Rainbow Children&#039;s
Hospital, Hyderabad, has developed India&#039;s only dedicated Pediatric ECMO
Retrieval Programme capable of initiating ECMO support in critically ill
children at remote locations and safely transporting them over long distances
to specialized centres. The programme is designed to bridge critical gaps in
access to advanced pediatric life support, ensuring that geography does not
limit a child&#039;s chances of survival during medical emergencies.

We have done 42
Paediatric &amp; Newborn ECMO in our centre and our outcomes are comparable to
best centres in world said Dr Farhan AR Shaikh, HOD-Paediatric Intensive
Care, Rainbow Children’s Hospital, Hyderabad. 

Because of excellent
PICU team work, nursing staff and support from Paediatric subspecialist we are
able to save such sick children &amp; newborn. We have best survival rates in
Paediatric Neuro Critical Care patients and also post Liver and BMT patients
said Dr Dinesh Kumar Chirla, Director – Intensive Care Services, Rainbow
Children’s Hospital, Hyderabad.

The case underscores
how advanced pediatric retrieval services are transforming access to critical
care in India, enabling children in distant parts of the country to receive
highly specialized treatment that was once available only in a handful of centres.
For families facing life-threatening medical emergencies, geography no longer
has to determine outcomes.

<description><![CDATA[  

Sonipat,
June 11, 2026: Jindal Global Business School (JGBS) of O.P.
Jindal Global University (JGU) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
with the Chetak Foundation, the skill-development and social initiative of the
Chetak Group. The partnership will anchor a new industry course on transport
operations, designed to take JGBS students out of the lecture hall and into
Chetak’s live operations across warehouses, fleet control centers and freight
corridors. It is the latest in a series of industry-integrated electives JGBS
is building as part of its wider effort to root management education in real
industry settings.

Headquartered
in New Delhi, the Chetak Group is one of India’s established multimodal
logistics players, with operations spanning road transport, warehousing, freight
forwarding and integrated supply chain solutions for a wide cross-section of
Indian industry. The Chetak Foundation, set up by the Group, focuses on
building employability and industry-ready skills for India’s young workforce.
JGBS, on its part, is India’s top ranked private university B-school in the QS
World University Rankings by Subject 2026, and sits among the top 200 business
schools in the world in the same ranking.

The
course arrives at a meaningful moment for the sector. The global multimodal
transport market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of
roughly six to seven percent over the next decade. This growth is expected to
create immense career and growth opportunities for students and budding
entrepreneurs and requirement for managerial talent that understands both the
operations and the analytics of modern logistics. The JGBS-Chetak course is
built for exactly that demand. The pedagogical design of the course has been
structured to ensure JGBS students develop analytical readiness in the
classroom before stepping into live field environments. The intent is to move
JGBS students from knowing to doing, and then to learning from doing.

Professor
(Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor, JGU said:
“Logistics is not a peripheral story in India’s development today; it sits
at the centre of how the country grows, trades and creates jobs, and a business
school has to prepare its students to navigate that reality. Our partnership
with the Chetak Foundation gives our management students access to an
operational environment where they can observe the inner workings of supply
chains and logistics networks, ask the questions that practitioners confront
every day and propose solutions that will be evaluated in real-world
operations. As an Institution of Eminence, JGU is dedicated to contributing to
national growth by training a skilled youth workforce for the nation’s talent
pool and this partnership reaffirms our steadfast commitment to that mission.”

Under
the terms of the MoU, JGBS students will get structured access to Chetak’s
operational ecosystem through internships, on-site visits to warehouses,
transport yards and freight hubs, and industry-led sessions delivered by senior
logistics and supply chain professionals from the Chetak Group.

Mr.
Mukesh Haritash, Managing Director, Chetak Group, said: “We
are thrilled to partner with Jindal Global Business School to bridge the gap
between academic excellence and practical industry needs. By combining Chetak
Group’s deep logistics expertise and Chetak Foundation’s commitment to skill
development with JGU’s world-class education, we aim to equip the next
generation of leaders with real-world skills. This collaboration reflects our
shared vision of empowering youth and driving sustainable, knowledge-led growth
for the nation.”

Professor
(Dr.) Dabiru Sridhar Patnaik, Registrar, JGU said: “The
Chetak Foundation’s skill-development mandate sits well with the kind of
long-running student engagements we want to build, and we look forward to seeing
this work mature across cohorts. JGU and JGBS have been working to integrate
its curriculum closely with industry requirements, and tie-ups of this depth
are how we make that direction concrete for our students.”

Key
areas of cooperation under the agreement include a knowledge partnership for
courses in supply chain, logistics and allied areas, industry guest lectures
delivered on the JGU campus, and joint research between Chetak professionals
and JGBS faculty members.

The
Dean of the Jindal Global Business School, Professor (Dr.) Mayank Dhaundiyal
said: “I am very pleased about this association
with the Chetak Foundation. Multimodal logistics is one of the most exciting
parts of the Indian growth story right now, and our students will work on live
problem statements drawn directly from Chetak’s operations, the kind of issues
that supply chain managers are working through on any given day. The exposure
complements the case work, simulations and other experiential pieces we are
building into the classroom, and it helps students see how the ideas they study
actually play out in practice. We want our graduates leaving JGBS with more
than a strong transcript. We want them leaving with the judgement and the
industry sense that this kind of partnership is uniquely placed to build.”

For
JGBS students, the partnership is finally about getting closer to how the
logistics industry actually works on the ground. They will work on live problem
statements with professionals from the Chetak Group, taking ideas like network
design, fleet utilization, warehousing efficiency and last-mile delivery out of
the classroom and into real business settings. Beyond the live projects and
site visits, the collaboration will also bring Chetak’s senior leadership to
the JGU campus for guest sessions, giving students a sense of how operating
decisions are actually made inside a working logistics business. ]]></description>

<title>Group Pharmaceuticals Launches ‘Abledent’ &#45; India’s First Inclusive Oral Care Ecosystem Designed for Real&#45;World Needs</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/group-pharmaceuticals-launches-abledent-indias-first-inclusive-oral-care-ecosystem-designed-for-real-world-needs</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/group-pharmaceuticals-launches-abledent-indias-first-inclusive-oral-care-ecosystem-designed-for-real-world-needs</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bangalore,
11th June 2026 : Group Pharmaceuticals, a trusted name in the
oral healthcare industry with over 45 years of expertise, recently announced
the launch of Abledent in Bangalore. The
launch event brought together healthcare professionals, caregivers, and
industry stakeholders, underscoring the urgent need for more inclusive and
patient-centric oral care solutions in India. 

In
India, the need for assisted daily care, including oral hygiene, is rapidly
growing across age groups. While 1 in every 20 elderly individuals live with
some form of disability and nearly 40% of those aged 60+ face functional or
health-related limitations, children and adults with disabilities,
neurodivergent individuals, and those with special healthcare needs along with
the caregivers who support them continue to face significant barriers to safe
and accessible oral care. Despite this growing need, access to specialised and
user-friendly oral care solutions tailored for assisted care remains limited in
the country. Abledent has been developed with a clear purpose: to make daily
oral hygiene safer, simpler, and more accessible for children and adults with
disabilities, neurodivergent individuals, the elderly, hospitalised patients,
individuals with temporary or permanent mobility challenges, and those
dependent on caregivers.

Developed
through extensive clinical insight and real-world research by Group
Pharmaceuticals, Abledent offers safe if swallowed, non-foaming toothpastes for
those unable to rinse or spit; fluoride-free and remineralising formulations
for sensitive and medically vulnerable users; mouthwashes for enhanced enamel
protection; and no-rinse oral care wipes for hospitalised and dependent care
settings. The range also features inclusive packaging such as easy-open caps
and braille and is built to overcome practical challenges including gag reflex,
sensory sensitivities, mobility limitations, and caregiver-assisted routines -
gaps long ignored by conventional oral care. 

Speaking
about the launch, Mr. Nikhil Kaushik, CEO- Group Pharmaceuticals said,
“Healthy smiles are a birthright-not a privilege. With Abledent, we are
addressing a critical gap in oral care by creating solutions that are not only
clinically relevant but also empathetic to the real-world challenges faced by
individuals with disabilities, children with special needs, patients and
caregivers. For far too long, people with special oral care needs have had to
adapt to products that were never designed for them. Abledent changes that by
putting their dignity, comfort, and independence at the center of innovation.”

India’s
oral care market has long overlooked the needs of dependent and special-care
populations. The initiative is further strengthened by the Able Smile Community, an
effort to build awareness, share resources, and create a supportive ecosystem
for caregivers and individuals navigating assisted oral care. With this launch,
Group Pharmaceuticals aims to introduce a new category of oral care in India,
and spark greater awareness and conversation around inclusive healthcare, where
accessibility and dignity are built into everyday solutions.

About
Abledent

Guided
by its philosophy, ‘Enabling Healthy Smiles for Everyone,’ Abledent is an
inclusive oral care range by Group Pharmaceuticals designed for individuals
with assisted and adaptive oral hygiene needs. Built on the promise of ‘More
Easy. More Effective. More Able.’, the range combines clinical innovation with
real-world usability to deliver safer, simpler, and more accessible oral care
solutions for people across different life stages and health conditions.

About
Group Pharmaceuticals Ltd

Founded
in 1980 and is one of India’s leading oral care companies, driven by the belief
that Healthy Smiles Matter. The company is widely recognised for launching many
pioneering oral care products in India, including Potassium Nitrate Toothpaste
Bioactive glass Technologies. Its brands Shy NM, Omnident, Pediflor, Elsenz
among others are trusted by dental professionals and consumers. Its
research-led innovations are developed in collaboration with globally reputed
institutions including Queen Mary University of London, Columbia University,
and JSS Academy of Higher Education &amp; Research. Through science-backed
innovation and a strong commitment to preventive oral healthcare, Group
Pharmaceuticals continues to strengthen its position as a trusted name in India’s
oral care landscape. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ MuscleBlaze latest campaign, &quot;Lighter Gut,
Better Gut Feeling,&quot; created for Biozyme Performance Whey. The
campaign seeks to move beyond traditional conversations around protein quantity
and place greater emphasis on smoother digestion and protein absorption.

To bring the idea to life, MuscleBlaze has released a
humorous film featuring Ashneer Grover known for his sharp business
instincts and surprisingly invests. In the film, Grover follows his
instincts and backs an absurd business idea, only to discover that his &quot;gut
feeling&quot; was completely wrong. The narrative cleverly connects a
familiar phrase with a conversation about smoother digestion and higher protein
absorption.

According to the brand, many consumers experience
bloating, heaviness and digestive discomfort after consuming protein
supplements. However, these symptoms are often accepted as normal rather than
being recognised as signs that the body may not be optimally processing the
product.

The campaign positions Biozyme Performance Whey as a
science-backed solution designed to improve protein absorption and digestive
comfort. It is independently blind tested by Labdoor (USA), Informed Choice
(UK), and Trustified (Asia), more third-party certifications than any other
whey brand in the market.  More
importantly, it attempts to educate consumers about the role the gut plays in
determining the overall effectiveness of sports nutrition products.

&quot;Bloating and heaviness after a protein shake are
not new complaints, consumers have been talking about this for years. What&#039;s
been missing is a brand willing to back that conversation with real science.
Biozyme Performance Whey is built on two US patents for 50% higher protein
absorption and independently tested by four global certification bodies. That&#039;s
not a marketing claim, that&#039;s a credential no other whey brand in India holds.
But science alone doesn&#039;t change behaviour. We chose humour and a culturally
loaded personality like Ashneer Grover because we wanted this message to
travel.  to reach people who&#039;ve never
thought about protein absorption, not just those who already care about it.
Sometimes the most serious insight lands hardest when it makes you laugh
first.&quot; mentioned Kaustuv Paliwal, Senior Vice President, Bright
Lifecare  (parent company of
MuscleBlaze).

By combining humour with education, MuscleBlaze hopes
to make a technical conversation more relatable and accessible to everyday
consumers.

<title>Building More Than a Portfolio Tracker: How Kanisk Bora Is Creating Capitallytics, an AI&#45;Powered Investment Intelligence Platform</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/building-more-than-a-portfolio-tracker-how-kanisk-bora-is-creating-capitallytics-an-ai-powered-investment-intelligence-platform</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/building-more-than-a-portfolio-tracker-how-kanisk-bora-is-creating-capitallytics-an-ai-powered-investment-intelligence-platform</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

The
world has no shortage of investment apps.

Investors
can buy stocks with a few taps, track portfolios across multiple brokers, and
access endless streams of financial news. Yet despite the explosion of fintech
products, one major problem remains unsolved: investors still struggle to see
the complete picture of their financial world in one place.

That
challenge is what inspired 25-year-old entrepreneur Kanisk Bora to build
Capitallytics.

Rather
than creating another stock market application, Bora’s vision is to build an
AI-powered investment intelligence platform that helps investors track,
analyze, and understand their investments through a single ecosystem. At a time
when financial information is scattered across multiple platforms,
Capitallytics aims to bring everything together and transform raw market data
into actionable insights.

The
Idea Behind Capitallytics

Modern
investors often use several different tools simultaneously. One platform is
used for portfolio tracking, another for stock research, another for market
news, and yet another for analytics.

While
these tools solve individual problems, they rarely provide a unified
experience.

Kanisk
Bora saw an opportunity to change that.

His
goal with Capitallytics is to create a platform where investors can monitor
portfolios, track market performance, receive AI-powered insights, and stay
informed about global markets without switching between multiple applications.

Instead
of focusing solely on data, the platform focuses on helping investors
understand what that data means.

Building
an AI-Powered Financial Ecosystem

Capitallytics
is being developed around a simple philosophy: investing should be intelligent,
accessible, and efficient.

The
platform is designed to cover multiple asset classes, allowing users to track
investments across:

●       
Indian Stocks (NSE &amp; BSE)

●       
US Stocks (NYSE &amp; Nasdaq)

●       
ETFs

●       
Mutual Funds

●       
Bonds and Fixed Income Securities

●       
Major Global Indices

With
thousands of financial instruments available across different markets,
investors often face information overload. Capitallytics seeks to solve this
problem by combining real-time market data with artificial intelligence to
deliver insights that are easy to understand and act upon.

One
of the platform’s most ambitious features is its AI CFO, an intelligent
assistant that helps users analyze portfolios, understand market movements,
compare investments, and gain deeper insights into their financial decisions.

The
objective is not simply to display information but to make that information
useful.

Why
This Matters Now

Retail
investing has experienced tremendous growth over the last decade.

Millions
of new investors have entered financial markets, driven by greater access to
technology and financial education. However, while investing has become more
accessible, the tools available to investors have often become increasingly
fragmented.

Today’s
investors want more than portfolio tracking.

They
want real-time insights, personalized analysis, intelligent alerts, and a
clearer understanding of risk and opportunity.

Artificial
intelligence is making these capabilities possible.

As
AI continues to reshape industries worldwide, its impact on investing is
becoming increasingly significant. From portfolio analysis to market research,
AI-powered tools are helping investors process information faster and make more
informed decisions.

Capitallytics
is being built at the intersection of these trends.

The
Founder Behind the Vision

Kanisk
Bora’s entrepreneurial journey is rooted in identifying problems and building
practical solutions.

As
the founder of Capitallytics, Bora is focused on creating technology that
empowers investors rather than overwhelming them.

At
just 25 years old, he represents a new generation of founders who view
artificial intelligence not as a replacement for human decision-making but as a
tool that can enhance it.

His
vision for Capitallytics extends beyond portfolio tracking.

The
long-term goal is to create a complete investment intelligence ecosystem where
investors can access market data, portfolio analytics, AI-driven insights, and
financial education from a single platform.

Looking
Ahead

The
future of investing will likely be shaped by platforms that combine real-time
data, intelligent analytics, and personalized experiences.

As
markets become more complex and investors gain access to a wider range of
financial products, the demand for smarter tools will continue to grow.

Capitallytics
is positioning itself to meet that demand.

By
combining global market coverage, advanced analytics, and artificial
intelligence, the platform aims to simplify investing while helping users make
better-informed decisions.

For
Kanisk Bora, the mission is clear: build a platform that gives investors
clarity in a world overloaded with financial information.

While
the journey is still in its early stages, Capitallytics reflects a growing
shift within fintech—one where technology is not only helping people invest but
helping them understand their investments in a completely new way.

And
that is the opportunity Kanisk is betting on.

<title>MKU Becomes a Name to Watch in Military&#45;Grade Electro&#45;Optics</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/mku-becomes-a-name-to-watch-in-military-grade-electro-optics</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/mku-becomes-a-name-to-watch-in-military-grade-electro-optics</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As
modern conflicts increasingly shift toward around-the-clock operations, the
ability to see, identify, and engage threats in challenging environments has
become a decisive battlefield advantage. Night dominance is now a fundamental
operational requirement for soldiers, special forces, vehicle-mounted crews,
aviators, and security forces alike.

Against
this backdrop, MKU Limited
has built a comprehensive electro-optics portfolio through its dedicated
optronics division, Netro Optronics. The company provides advanced multi-sensor
electro-optic solutions for situational awareness, surveillance,
reconnaissance, and target acquisition across soldier and platform domains. Its
portfolio spans night vision, thermal, fusion, day-channel systems, driver
night sights, Vision-360 see-through armour, and bespoke EO integrations
powered by MKU’s indigenous thermal core technology.

Building a Complete
Optronics System

Under
the Netro brand, MKU offers solutions covering night enablement and situational
awareness systems for armoured vehicles, thermal weapon sights and target
acquisition systems, aviation-focused night vision solutions, night upgrade
kits for weapons and air defence systems, and night vision systems for infantry
and special operations forces.

These
solutions enable operators to maintain effectiveness across urban operations,
dense forests, deserts, mountains, maritime zones, and extreme winter
conditions.

MKU
places a strong emphasis on platform optronics, where persistent surveillance
and 360-degree situational awareness are redefining armoured warfare. The TD
5100 Driver Night Sight for AFVs and APCs enables safe manoeuvring in
zero-light conditions, while the TDP 5200 Vision 360 See-Through Armour system
provides a stitched mixed-reality view through a head-mounted display, allowing
crews to navigate and detect threats without exposure.

Its
soldier optronics suite extends these capabilities to the tactical edge. Thermal
weapon sights such as the TW 4006, TW 4000 and TW 4100 enable rapid target
acquisition across lighting conditions and engagement ranges. The MW 5000
Sighting System enhances one-shot hit accuracy and target visibility, while the
NB 3300 dual-tube binocular and NM 3200 ultra-compact monocular provide
mobility and clarity during low-light operations.

Together,
these systems form a unified combat vision ecosystem, connecting platforms,
weapons, and soldiers into a seamless operational network. At Eurosatory 2026, MKU is demonstrating
how this integration is turning darkness into operational dominance, enabling
forces to detect earlier, decide faster, and respond with precision.

Backed
by One of India&#039;s Largest Electro-Optics Contracts

 Military electro-optics are only as good as
their performance in real-world conditions. Armed forces require systems
capable of functioning reliably in extreme cold, desert heat, high humidity,
dust-laden environments, heavy rainfall, and rugged battlefield conditions.

MKU’s
electro-optical products undergo extensive environmental qualification,
performance validation, and field trials before entering service. The Netro NW
3000, for example, underwent rigorous evaluation and extensive field testing
across varied operational environments before being selected by the Indian
Army.

The
company’s growing prominence was reinforced in 2025 when it secured one of the
largest electro-optics procurements ever placed by the Indian Army, winning a
contract worth ₹660 crore (around €70 million) for the supply of 29,000+ Netro
NW 3000 Night Vision Weapon Sights. Conducted under India’s Indigenously
Designed, Developed and Manufactured (IDDM) category, the procurement
represents a major endorsement of the company’s technological maturity.

MKU&#039;s
electro-optics capabilities have gained traction across both domestic and
international markets. The company has signed a contract with the Indian Army
for 5,000 Thermal Weapon Sights and has already delivered over 1,000 Thermal
Weapon Sights to the Moroccan Army, underscoring the operational relevance and
growing acceptance of its night-fighting solutions.

Aksion: The Thermal
Core That Changes the Equation

At
the core of MKU’s optronics journey is sustained investment in research and
development. The company has built multidisciplinary engineering teams
specialising in thermal imaging, sensor technologies, image processing,
embedded systems, optics, electronics, mechanical design, and battlefield
integration. This approach enables MKU to control key aspects of the
development cycle, from concept and design through prototyping, validation, and
production.

Perhaps
the most significant milestone in MKU’s electro-optics evolution is the
development of its own thermal imaging core, Netro Aksion. Thermal cores are
often described as the “engine” of thermal imaging systems, determining image
quality, detection range, processing capability, and overall system
performance.

Built
around a 12-micron sensor architecture, Aksion is engineered to deliver
superior image clarity, advanced image processing, faster target detection, and
low-latency performance under demanding mission conditions. Beyond technical
performance, indigenous thermal core technology strengthens intellectual
property ownership, improves supply-chain security, and enables future product
development across a wide range of defence and security platforms.

As
armed forces increasingly seek technology sovereignty alongside operational
superiority, MKU’s expanding electro-optics portfolio, indigenous innovation
capabilities, and large-scale deployment experience are positioning the company
as a name to watch in the global military electro-optics sector. ]]></description>

for Technical Education (AICTE), while also holding accreditation from the
National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). These recognitions
underscore the institute’s commitment to maintaining high academic standards
and delivering a holistic educational experience.

One
of JIIT’s key strengths continues to be its strong placement performance. The
institute has reportedly recorded the highest placement package of ₹94.25 lakhs

package of approximately ₹11.10 lakhs. Students have secured opportunities with
some of the world’s most prestigious organizations, including Google,
Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, Deloitte, and several other leading multinational

engagement initiatives, skill-building programs, aptitude training, career
guidance, and recruitment preparation. The institute’s proactive approach
ensures that students are well-prepared to transition successfully from campus

domains shaping the future of engineering.

The
Institute’s academic offerings are complemented by a robust ecosystem of
advanced research and innovation infrastructure. Students benefit from access
to state-of-the-art facilities, including the Ramanujan Universe Supercomputing

<title>Rahul Mishra, Masaba Gupta and Jayanti Reddy on Human Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Creative Careers at Pearl Academy</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/rahul-mishra-masaba-gupta-and-jayanti-reddy-on-human-intelligence-artificial-intelligence-and-the-future-of-creative-careers-at-pearl-academy</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/rahul-mishra-masaba-gupta-and-jayanti-reddy-on-human-intelligence-artificial-intelligence-and-the-future-of-creative-careers-at-pearl-academy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ At
Pearl Academy&#039;s Global Icons Series, three of India&#039;s leading creative
entrepreneurs and designers shared why originality, craftsmanship,
entrepreneurial thinking and technological fluency will become the defining
skills of the AI era.

India,
June 2026 : At a time when artificial intelligence is
reshaping industries and challenging long-held assumptions about the future of
creative work, three of India&#039;s most influential creative entrepreneurs and
designers arrived at the same conclusion: the next generation will need far
more than talent alone to succeed. Internationally acclaimed couturier Rahul
Mishra, entrepreneur and business leader Masaba Gupta, and luxury bridal
designer Jayanti Reddy shared candid insights with students at Pearl Academy’s
Global Icons Series, emphasising that the future will belong to professionals
who can combine creativity, craftsmanship, business acumen and technological
fluency.

For
Rahul Mishra, the first Indian designer to become a regular presence on
the Paris Haute Couture calendar, AI represents a powerful collaborator, but
not a replacement for originality or craftsmanship. “We never design alone.
AI is simply another assistant, faster and wider in perspective. But the
physical making, the craftsmanship, the human hand, that remains irreplaceable.
Work on your craft. Nobody can take that away from you.” Mishra encouraged
students to use AI to accelerate research, challenge assumptions and test
originality, while investing more deeply in skills that machines cannot
replicate.

Masaba
Gupta, Founder of House of Masaba and LoveChild,
encouraged students to embrace AI as a tool that can unlock greater
productivity and creative possibilities. “AI will not replace you. It will
replace the person who doesn&#039;t embrace AI. People fear AI because it reveals
your true potential. The question is no longer whether something can be done
faster. The question is whether your thinking is sharp enough to make the most
of it.”

Jayanti
Reddy, whose label has grown from a single tailor
and sewing machine into one of India&#039;s leading luxury bridal businesses
supported by hundreds of artisans, highlighted an often-overlooked reality of
creative success: business discipline. “I spend only ten per cent of my time
creating today. The other ninety per cent is business. Designers often prepare
for the creative side but underestimate the importance of building systems,
teams and sustainable businesses.”

Beyond
the insights themselves, the sessions offered students a rare opportunity to
engage directly with some of the industry&#039;s most accomplished practitioners.
Through candid conversations and personal reflections, students at Pearl
Academy gained firsthand exposure to the realities of building brands,
navigating uncertainty, embracing innovation and sustaining creative careers at
the highest level.

The
Global Icons Series forms an important part of Pearl Academy’s experiential
learning approach, connecting students with industry leaders, entrepreneurs and
changemakers whose experiences help bridge the gap between classroom learning
and industry realities.

Aditi
Srivastava, President, Pearl Academy, said:
“The Global Icons Series reflects our belief that some of the most
meaningful learning comes from direct interactions with people who have built
their craft through lived experience and are candid about the realities of the
journey. Rahul, Masaba, and Jayanti offered students valuable perspectives to
reflect on their own aspirations and career paths. Combined with the skills and
AI literacy integrated across our programmes, this helps shape complete
professionals.”

The
conversations also reflected a broader transformation underway at Pearl
Academy. With a legacy of more than 33 years, the institution has reimagined
its academic framework around a Human Intelligence + Artificial Intelligence
philosophy that positions AI as a collaborator capable of enhancing creativity,
innovation and problem-solving.

At
the centre of this evolution is Pearl Academy&#039;s partnership with OpenAI and an
academic model in which more than one-third of the curriculum is AI-integrated.
Students engage with generative AI tools and AI-assisted workflows across
disciplines, preparing to be Domain Ready, AI Ready, Life Ready and Future
Ready. This ecosystem is further strengthened through initiatives such as the
Runway Incubator, which encourages experimentation, innovation and
entrepreneurial thinking.

As
conversations around AI continue to focus on automation and disruption, the
message from Rahul Mishra, Masaba Gupta, and Jayanti Reddy was notably
optimistic. The professionals who thrive in the years ahead will be those who
can combine the possibilities unlocked by technology with the imagination,
judgment, resilience and entrepreneurial mindset needed to turn ideas into
impact.

For
the next generation of creators, that future is already taking shape. ]]></description>

<title>Agami Realty Unveils Ultra Luxury Residential Address Agami Legends in Kalanagar, Endorsed by Sunil Gavaskar</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/agami-realty-unveils-ultra-luxury-residential-address-agami-legends-in-kalanagar-endorsed-by-sunil-gavaskar</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/agami-realty-unveils-ultra-luxury-residential-address-agami-legends-in-kalanagar-endorsed-by-sunil-gavaskar</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
June 09, 2026 : Mumbai-based developer Agami Realty has
announced its upcoming ultra-luxury residential address, Agami Legends, in
Kalanagar, Bandra (East), located directly facing the iconic MIG Cricket Club
and overlooking Mahim Bay. The development will also be endorsed by cricket
legend Sunil Gavaskar, who has recently joined the developer as its brand
ambassador. Widely regarded as one of the most respected figures in Indian
cricket, Gavaskar’s legacy closely mirrors the values that the developer seeks
to bring to its developments.

“I
have always believed that legacy is built through discipline, consistency and
integrity. What stood out to me about Agami Legends is the philosophy behind
it. The project draws inspiration from the spirit of cricket and from
institutions like the MIG Cricket Club, which have shaped generations of
players. I’m delighted to be associated with a development that celebrates
legacy in such a thoughtful way,” said Sunil Gavaskar, cricket legend and
brand ambassador of Agami Realty.

For
Agami Realty, development has always been closely tied to the cultural and
historical identity of a neighbourhood. Nowhere is this more evident than in
Kalanagar, one of Mumbai’s most established residential neighbourhoods known
for its artistic and cultural legacy. The developer has previously contributed
to the area with Agami Eternity, a development that drew inspiration from art
and creative expression while celebrating the character of its surroundings.

With
Agami Legends, the narrative evolves even further. If Eternity drew from the
language of art, Legends finds its inspiration in cricket. Located directly
facing the iconic MIG Cricket Club, the project reflects the discipline,
strategy and enduring legacy associated with the game. The association with
Sunil Gavaskar, therefore, emerges as a natural extension of the philosophy
behind the development, bringing together the legacy of a sporting icon with a
residential address conceived around similar ideals.

At
Agami Legends, the philosophy draws inspiration from the qualities that define
a legend. Strategy comes first. Every element of the home is thoughtfully
planned to maximise space, clarity, and long-term adaptability. Column-free
layouts and carefully designed residences ensure that every corner serves a purpose.
Expansive decks open up to views of the MIG Cricket Club and Mahim Bay.
Alongside strategy comes style. It is not loud or showy, but is defined by
quiet confidence, comfort, and thoughtful design that leaves a lasting
impression.

A
legend is also an all-rounder, adapting effortlessly to different roles and
evolving circumstances. In the same spirit, Agami Legends brings together
connectivity, lifestyle and everyday convenience within one address in
Kalanagar, Bandra (East), close to Bandra Kurla Complex and the city’s emerging
legal and commercial district. Finally, it is about becoming an icon, a
benchmark for excellence that stands the test of time. Overlooking the historic
MIG Cricket Club, the development brings together the legacy of the game and
the making of a new residential landmark.

Planned
as a standalone residential tower, Agami Legends follows a deliberately
low-density approach with only 67 residences, ensuring privacy and a quieter
living environment. The development will feature a bespoke collection of
expansive three and four-bedroom homes designed around column-free layouts that
allow open and uninterrupted living spaces.

The
project will also include a private wellness suite along with spaces designed
for quiet reflection and creative pursuits, including a room designed with high
acoustic insulation to create a quieter, more contemplative environment within
the development.

Located
in Kalanagar, Bandra (East), Agami Legends sits at the heart of what is rapidly
emerging as Mumbai’s new legal district, anchored by the upcoming Bombay High
Court complex at Bandra East. The address also enjoys strong connectivity to
Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), the Western Express Highway and Mumbai Metro Line 3
(Aqua Line), while remaining within close reach of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
International Airport.

“We
believe that every development should respond to the character of the place it
belongs to. With Agami Legends, the idea was to create homes that reflect both
the legacy of Kalanagar and the discipline and stature associated with the game
of cricket. Sunil Gavaskar represents these ideals in their truest form, and
his association with the project felt like a natural extension of the
philosophy behind it,” said Prashant Khandelwal, Director and CEO of Agami
Realty and Joint Secretary of CREDAI MCHI. ]]></description>

<title>Open F&amp;amp;O Trading Account on Bajaj Broking Platform</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/open-fo-trading-account-on-bajaj-broking-platform</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/open-fo-trading-account-on-bajaj-broking-platform</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Futures and Options
(F&amp;O) trading is a segment of the stock market that allows traders to take
positions based on price movements without directly owning the underlying
asset. To participate in this segment, you need to activate F&amp;O trading in
your account.

With Bajaj Broking, you
can open and activate an F&amp;O trading
account online through a structured and digital process. This
blog explains how F&amp;O activation works, the steps involved, required
documents, and applicable charges.

Understanding F&amp;O
Segment Activation

F&amp;O trading is not
enabled by default in a standard trading account. It requires separate
activation because it involves higher risk and regulatory requirements. Before
activation, the platform typically checks:

●       
Your KYC details

●       
Income proof to assess eligibility

●       
Acceptance of risk disclosure documents

F&amp;O includes the
following.

Futures contracts: Agreements
to buy or sell an asset at a future date at a fixed price. 

Options contracts: Rights
(not obligations) to buy or sell at a predetermined price

Since these are
leveraged products, proper verification is required before activation.

Step-by-Step Guide to
Open F&amp;O Account Online

To activate Futures and
Options trading on Bajaj Broking is a fully digital process.

Step 1: Open a Trading
and Demat Account

Start by registering on
the Bajaj Broking platform if you do not already have an account.

Step 2: Log In and
Select Segment Activation

After account creation,
log in and choose the option to activate the F&amp;O segment.

Step 3: Submit Required
Details

Provide additional
information such as:

●       
Income range

●       
Trading experience

●       
Financial details

Step 4: Upload
Documents

Upload income proof and
other required documents for verification.

Step 5: Accept Terms
and Risk Disclosures

Review and accept
F&amp;O risk disclosure agreements digitally.

Step 6: e-Sign the
Application

Complete the process
using Aadhaar-based e-signature.

Step 7: Verification
and Activation

Once verified, the
F&amp;O segment is activated in your account.

After activation, you
can begin trading in futures and options through the platform.

Documents Required for
F&amp;O Trading Account

F&amp;O trading
requires additional documentation compared to a basic demat account. Commonly
required documents include:

●       
PAN Card (mandatory)

●       
Aadhaar Card or valid address proof

●       
Bank account details

●       
Income proof, such as salary slips, bank
statements, Income Tax Returns (ITR), Net worth certificate

Income proof is
essential because F&amp;O trading involves leveraged positions and higher
exposure.

Why Choose Bajaj
Broking for Futures and Options?

Bajaj Broking provides
a structured environment for F&amp;O trading with plan-based pricing and
integrated tools. Some key advantages include:

●       
Online account opening and activation

●

and derivatives

●

●       
Research-backed insights

●       
Integrated trading platform for execution and
tracking

Additionally, users can
select from different subscription plans depending on trading frequency and
cost preference.

Charges for F&amp;O
Trading on Bajaj Broking

F&amp;O trading
involves multiple cost components, including brokerage and statutory charges.

1. Brokerage Charges

Brokerage depends on the
selected subscription plan:

Freedom Pack: ₹20
per order

Professional Pack: ₹10
per order

Signature Plan: Customised
or percentage-based pricing

2. Margin Trading

Professional &amp;
Signature Plans: 11.99% per annum

3. Transaction Charges

●       
Charged by stock exchanges

●       
Applicable on every trade

●       
Vary based on futures or options contracts

4. Statutory Charges

Mandatory charges
include:

●       
Securities Transaction Tax (STT)

●       
GST on brokerage

●       
SEBI charges

●       
Stamp duty

5. Other Charges

●       
Clearing and settlement charges

●       
DP charges (for delivery-based transactions,
if applicable)

●       
These charges are part of the overall trading
cost.

Conclusion

Opening and activating
an F&amp;O trading account on Bajaj Broking is a simple digital process. Once
activated, you can trade in futures and options using a plan that matches your
trading style.

By understanding the
activation steps, required documents, and cost structure, you can approach

<description><![CDATA[ Hyderabad,
India: Tech Leads IT, a Hyderabad-based IT
Training, Staffing, and IT Consulting organization, has announced a major
milestone of over 30,000+ Trained Students and 12000+ Placements
across India and International markets, reinforcing its position as a
significant contributor to India’s and the Global enterprise technology
workforce development ecosystem.

The
achievement comes after 14 years of operations during which the
organization has delivered more than 1,000+ batches training out of
which 300+ batches by Lead Trainer Krishna and 100+ corporate
trainings and expanded from an ERP-focused training institute into a
multi-vertical enterprise encompassing Training, Staffing, IT consulting, and
Project Implementation services.

The
milestone is particularly significant at a time when organizations worldwide
continue to grapple with a shortage of skilled professionals in enterprise
technologies, especially Oracle Fusion. As businesses accelerate cloud
transformation initiatives and modernize legacy ERP environments, demand for
implementation-ready talent has increased substantially across sectors.

Founded
in 2012, Tech Leads IT
has built specialized expertise in Oracle Fusion, SAP, Cloud Technologies,
Enterprise Applications, and ERP Consulting. The institute serves fresh
graduates, working professionals, and career-transition candidates through
industry-focused programs designed to align with evolving employer
requirements.

One
of the company’s key focus areas has been addressing the persistent shortage of
Oracle Fusion professionals in the market. With Oracle Fusion adoption
continuing to grow across enterprise resource planning, Oracle Fusion human
capital management ( HCM ), Oracle Fusion supply
chain management (SCM ), Oracle Fusion Financials and Oracle
Fusion Technical and OIC organizations frequently face challenges in sourcing
qualified consultants capable of supporting implementation and transformation
projects.

“Organizations
today are not just looking for certified professionals; they need talent that
can contribute from day one in live enterprise environments,” said Krishna V
, Founder &amp; CEO of Tech Leads IT, is an Oracle Fusion SCM Lead Trainer and
Subject Matter Expert (SME), recognized for his expertise in Oracle Fusion
Supply Chain Management, Corporate Training, Consulting, and Workforce
Upskilling.

“Oracle
Fusion talent is genuinely scarce, and bridging that gap has been the driving
purpose behind everything we do. Over 300 batches, I have seen professionals
completely reinvent themselves - from Oracle EBS consultants to Fusion
specialists, from supply chain professionals to Oracle Fusion practitioners.
Every placement is a career transformed, and every transformation adds real
value to the businesses that hire them.” said by Krishna V

A
major contributor to the institute’s growth has been its emphasis on practical
learning delivered by industry practitioners. The training model incorporates
project-based exposure, implementation scenarios, business process
understanding, and enterprise workflows, enabling learners to develop job-ready
capabilities beyond theoretical knowledge.

The
organization has also played a significant role in facilitating career
transitions for experienced professionals. Over the years, numerous Oracle
E-Business Suite consultants including Oracle EBS Supply Chain Management (SCM)
Consultants, Oracle EBS Human Capital Management (HCM) Consultants, Oracle EBS
Financials Consultants, Oracle EBS Technical Consultants, and other ERP
professionals have successfully transitioned into Oracle Fusion Consultant
Roles through its training programs.

End
to End Placement Support is a dedicated placement infrastructure that includes
Resume Building, Mock Interviews, Technical Assessments, Career Counseling and
roadmap planning for both fresh graduates and experienced professionals, and
Direct hiring assistance through an established Recruiter and employer
engagement initiatives. The company maintains relationships with multinational
corporations, consulting firms, staffing partners, and mid-sized enterprises to
help connect Oracle Fusion and ERP Trained candidates both Freshers and
Experienced professionals with employment opportunities.

Unlike
traditional training institutions, Tech Leads IT operates through an integrated
three-pillar model comprising Training and Education, Staffing and Recruitment,
and IT Consulting and Project Implementation. While the training division
develops enterprise technology talent, the staffing arm facilitates hiring
opportunities across its employer network. The consulting division further
creates opportunities for high-performing candidates to gain hands-on
experience through live implementation projects.

This
integrated approach enables the organization to support candidates throughout
the professional lifecycle, from skill development and placement to real-world
project exposure.

In
addition to individual training programs, Tech Leads IT has conducted more than
100+ corporate training engagements, helping organizations strengthen internal
capabilities and accelerate enterprise technology adoption. These programs focus
on practical implementation strategies, workforce readiness, and digital
transformation requirements.

According
to the company, the next phase of growth will focus on emerging enterprise
technology areas, including AI-enabled business applications, cloud-native ERP
ecosystems, and next-generation digital transformation platforms.

“My
vision has always been bigger than running a training center. I want to build
something that truly transforms lives 
where a student who comes to us for Oracle Fusion training can
eventually find a job through our staffing network, get placed on a real
project through our consulting arm, and grow into a professional who transforms
other careers in turn. That cycle of transformation is what I am working to
create, with Krishna’s grace, one batch at a time.&#039;&#039;  said by Krishna V

 Tech Leads IT aims to further expand its
training portfolio with new-age technology programs aligned with evolving
enterprise hiring trends — including AI-integrated workflows, cloud-native ERP
implementations, and next-generation enterprise platforms. With a robust
14-year foundation, a growing network of placed professionals, and an
unwavering focus on outcomes-driven learning, Tech Leads IT is well positioned
to continue shaping the future of India’s technology workforce.

<description><![CDATA[ A
Community-Driven Sustainability Initiative Encouraging Greener Habits and
Celebrating Local Biodiversity

Bengaluru,
8th June 2026 : LuLu Mall Bengaluru
marked World Environment Day, 5th June 2026, with the celebration of Rooted
at LuLu a community focussed sustainability initiative designed to
inspire small, mindful actions that collectively drive meaningful environmental
impact. The event was held at the Upper Ground (UG) Floor of LuLu Mall
Bengaluru, commencing at 5:00 PM, inaugurated by Mr. Rahuldev Rajguru Nature
and Wildlife Photographer, along with Mr. Guruprasad K R Nature lover, bird
enthusiast and conservation advocate.

initiative was launched in collaboration with Green Mic, Weknewrenew, Ataavi
Foundation  and Brand partners who joined
hands with us for the  cause are
Rajdhani, Sreeraj Lassi Bar, Joker &amp; Witch,Smooth Gelato, underscoring LuLu
Mall’s commitment to building a greener, more responsible retail experience for
the residents of Bengaluru.

The
main highlights of the Event were Kasa = Kaasu, Plastic Bottle Recycling
Drive. Visitors were invited to bring empty plastic bottles to the event and
exchange them for reward points redeemable at participating food and beverage
outlets within the mall. The programme’s name, Kasa = Kaasu (meaning

thriving alongside them. Also, this will be open to public for 3 months.

<description><![CDATA[  

London-headquartered healthcare
company, which has served over 20 Lakh patients globally, launches Voy India to
make evidence-based obesity treatment accessible nationwide

New Delhi, India : Voy, the London-headquartered digital healthcare company and market
leader in GLP-1 obesity care in the UK, Germany, and Brazil, today announced
its entry into India through the 100% acquisition of EarlyFit, one of India’s
leading online weight loss platforms.

Voy is emerging as a global multi-country
leader in preventive healthcare, especially GLP-1-led weight loss. Voy entered
Germany through the acquisition of Formel Skin ($40M raised) and has also
acquired Morelife, Menopause Care, Optimale, and now EarlyFit.

This acquisition marks Voy’s entry into one
of the world’s largest and fastest-growing healthcare markets with the goal to
serve 150M obese Indians. This brings Voy’s global clinical expertise,
research, and technology to India, making this the first international D2C
Health player to enter India.

Voy India will continue to serve patients
across the country through a network of more than 20 endocrinologists and
nutritionists, led by Dr. Saptarshi Bhattacharya (DM Endocrinology,
AIIMS), along with EarlyFit co-founders Parth Chopra and Saloni Paliwal. Voy
India will initially focus on weight loss and obesity care, leading with
affordable generic semaglutide offerings that became more accessible after
Ozempic’s patent expired in India in March 2026. while gradually expanding into
broader therapeutic areas using Voy’s global clinical expertise. Eventually,
they’re expected to launch hair loss, dermatology, menopause, hormone, and
testosterone replacement therapy, bringing learnings from global markets to
India.

George Pallis, Founder and CEO of Voy,
added, “We are incredibly excited to
welcome the Early Fit team to Voy. This acquisition marks our entry into the
most populous country globally, a really meaningful step towards building Voy
into a truly global platform. It has been wonderful to see what Parth Chopra
and Saloni Paliwal have built in the short time since they founded the business
and to see the alignment in underlying values of patient centricity and quality
of care.”

Saloni Paliwal, co-founder of EarlyFit,
now Voy India, added, “Through this
partnership, we are bringing world-class obesity treatment to India at a
pivotal moment when awareness is rising and access is expanding rapidly. By
combining global expertise, advanced technology, and clinically proven systems,
we are proud to launch India’s most trusted and safety-first platform for
obesity care.”

In a peer-reviewed study involving more
than 125,000 patients, Voy users achieved an average of 24% weight loss over 12
months, compared with 19% with medication alone. Ninety percent of patients
reached their self-defined health goals while maintaining a market-leading
clinical incident rate of less than 0.2%, significantly lower than the
approximately 4% seen in standard care. University of Cambridge, Harvard
University, Imperial College London, and UCL have shown that Voy’s integrated
care model delivers superior outcomes.

About Voy:

Founded in 2018, Voy is redefining how
healthcare is delivered and accessed globally. With a strong presence in the
UK, Brazil, and Germany, Voy has already served over 2 million patients
globally. The company combines market leading clinical quality and safety,
behavioural support, and ongoing care into a single, seamless experience. Voy
helps people to address some of the most life-impacting conditions, from
obesity and hormonal health to hair loss and menopause, as well as preventative
care through its Do Health offering.

About Voy India (formerly EarlyFit)

Voy India (formerly EarlyFit) is a digital
obesity and weight management platform serving patients nationwide through a
network of specialist endocrinologists and clinicians. The platform provides
evidence-based treatment plans, including GLP-1 therapies where clinically
appropriate, combined with ongoing medical supervision and behavioural support.

<title>Why Leasing Is Driving Sustainable EV Solutions in India for Commercial Fleets</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-leasing-is-driving-sustainable-ev-solutions-in-india-for-commercial-fleets</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-leasing-is-driving-sustainable-ev-solutions-in-india-for-commercial-fleets</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Leasing is driving sustainable EV solutions
for commercial fleets in India, with providers like Drivn, Sun Mobility, and
Vertelo enabling businesses to adopt electric buses and trucks without high
upfront costs. This model offers financial flexibility, reduces emissions, and
allows companies to scale their fleets efficiently while transitioning to
greener operations.

How Leasing Is Making Sustainable EV
Solutions in India Work

Leasing is making sustainable EV solutions
in India work by helping companies like Drivn, Sun Mobility, and Vertelo
address the high upfront costs of electric buses and trucks. This model spreads
payments over time and often includes operational support, making fleet
electrification financially feasible even for smaller operators.

By reducing capital strain, leased EVs
allow businesses to adopt cleaner transport technology faster, maintain cash
flow, and scale their fleets according to demand. With growing focus on
environmental impact, this approach helps companies align operational
efficiency with sustainability goals.

Leading Commercial EV Leasing Solutions In
India

Here’s an overview of some of the leading EV leasing solutions for
commercial fleets in India:

Environmental and Operational Benefits of
Leasing EV Fleets

With June 5 being World Environment Day,
emphasising sustainability, adopting leased electric fleets can have an
immediate and long-term impact. Reduced reliance on diesel vehicles lowers
emissions and helps businesses align with environmental targets.

The operational advantages are equally
compelling:


 Leased EVs allow faster integration of new technology into
     fleets 
 Maintenance responsibilities can be simplified, as many leases
     include servicing 
 Fleet size can be adjusted according to demand, reducing idle
     vehicles 


Companies such as Drivn, Sun Mobility,
Vertelo, and SwitchLabs are supporting the adoption of leased EV fleets,
showing how businesses can gradually transition to cleaner transport while
managing costs and operations.

Scaling Sustainable EV Solutions Across
India

Leasing electric fleets has the potential
to expand the top sustainable
EV solutions in India beyond large corporates. By making EVs
financially accessible, smaller logistics operators could gradually integrate
electric vehicles into their operations, helping reduce overall emissions over
time.

With flexible lease programs from companies
like Drivn, Sun Mobility, Vertelo, and SwitchLabs, there’s an opportunity for
fleets of different sizes to adopt cleaner transport at a manageable pace. As
more operators explore this model, it could play a significant role in
improving urban air quality and supporting India’s shift toward greener
commercial transport.

Summary

Leasing is emerging as a practical way for
businesses to adopt top sustainable EV solutions in India. By reducing upfront
costs and offering operational support, it allows fleet operators to gradually
transition to electric trucks and buses while managing expenses and scaling
fleets efficiently. Flexible lease programs from providers such as Drivn, Sun Mobility, Vertelo, and
SwitchLabs make cleaner, low-emission transport more achievable for companies
of all sizes, contributing to a greener commercial transport ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is leasing preferred for electric
commercial fleets?

Leasing from providers like Drivn, Sun
Mobility, Vertelo, and SwitchLabs reduces upfront costs and allows fleet
operators to scale their electric vehicles gradually, making the adoption of
top sustainable EV solutions in India financially manageable.

How do leased EVs help reduce environmental
impact?

Leased electric vehicles replace diesel
trucks and buses, reducing emissions and fuel consumption. Over time, this
contributes to cleaner air in cities and supports businesses in meeting
sustainability goals.

Is EV leasing suitable for small or
medium-sized fleet operators?

Yes. Leasing provides a low-risk way for
smaller operators to adopt electric fleets. It allows them to start with a few
vehicles, test operational efficiency, and expand gradually as business needs
and budgets allow. ]]></description>

the vast expanse of the open ocean at Racha Noi Island, Phuket, Thailand, where
every descent pushes the limits of endurance and engineering, a team of five
certified technical divers set out to demonstrate the limits of precision and
performance. Reaching 50 metres within seven minutes and eventually attaining a
maximum depth of 52.1 metres, the divers completed a highly specialised
underwater photoshoot with an arsenal of cameras in a 20-minute operational
window under authentic open-ocean conditions.

Speaking
on the achievement, Kuruvilla Markose, CEO, Watches Division, Titan Company
Limited, said, &quot;Zero Hour was built on the belief that
Indian watchmaking can compete on the world&#039;s most demanding stages. Every
benchmark we have achieved- from ISO 6425 compliance and PADI validation to the
Guinness Book of World Records, lies at the intersection of engineering
conviction, innovation and craftsmanship. In essence, proving capability
through action. As we continue to advance our capabilities and build on this
momentum, achievements like these furthers our ambition to build world-class
performance timepieces that earn credibility with an intent to elevate Indian
watchmaking on the global stage. This has been the vision for Zero Hour since
its very inception, and the Guiness World Record accomplishment is an important
step in that journey.&quot;

Introduced
earlier this year, Zero Hour is Titan&#039;s dedicated performance sports watch
sub-brand, with the Divers’ collection as its first chapter. Zero Hour
represents the defining moment before action begins, where precision and
reliability allow no margin for error. The successful execution of the deepest
underwater product photoshoot under real open-ocean conditions serves as a
powerful expression of the philosophy that gives Zero Hour its name.

The
Titan Zero Hour collection spans twelve timepieces, ranging in depth capability
from 100 metres to 500 metres, and is priced between INR 15,795 and INR 77,995.
It is available at Titan World stores, large format retail destinations,
premium watch retailers, e-commerce platforms and at www.titan.co.in.

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/priyadarshani-group-of-schools-hosts-teacher-wellness-and-professional-development-initiative</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
June 8, 2026: Reinforcing its commitment to the growth and
well-being of educators, Priyadarshani Group of Schools
organised a full-day professional development programme for teachers at Acharya
Atre Rang Mandir, Sant Tukaram Nagar, Pimpri-Chinchwad. The programme brought
together experts across mindfulness, nutrition and education to equip teachers
with practical tools for personal well-being and classroom impact. The session
was attended by more than 500 teachers from all branches of Priyadarshani
Schools, bringing together educators from across the institution&#039;s network.

A
key highlight of the programme was the address by Dr. Rajendra Singh, who spoke
about the importance of critical thinking in today’s rapidly evolving world and
the role teachers play in nurturing thoughtful, responsible individuals.

“Education
must go beyond textbooks. Schools must encourage curiosity, questioning and
independent thinking while helping students develop ethical values, civic
responsibility and discipline through everyday habits,” said Dr. Rajendra
Singh.

Session
I: Unlock Your Potential – Mindfulness for Success

The
first session was conducted by Ms. Shaveta Gupta, Certified Yoga Teacher and
Reiki Master, and focused on mindfulness, emotional balance and self-awareness
for educators. Through practical yoga and mindfulness techniques, she
introduced participants to practices such as gratitude journaling, forgiveness,
meditation, and positive visualisation to help teachers manage stress and
maintain balance in their professional and personal lives.

“Mindfulness
is not a luxury for teachers, it is an essential tool. A calm and self-aware
teacher naturally creates a more positive classroom environment,” said Ms.
Gupta.

Session
II: Nutrition and Health Education

The
second session was led by Dr. Prachee Bohra, PhD, Head of Technical Quality at
Juvenate Wellbeing, who spoke about the connection between nutrition, lifestyle
choices and overall well-being. The session focused on how healthy eating
habits, physical activity and sustainable routines can improve energy, focus
and long-term health for educators.

“Good
nutrition directly impacts energy, focus and emotional well-being. Small
lifestyle changes can make a significant difference in how educators feel and
perform every day,” said Dr. Bohra.

Teachers
attending the programme described the sessions as insightful and practical,
highlighting how the learnings could positively influence both their personal
well-being and their interactions with students.

Ms
Pawani Muradi, Teacher at Priyadarshani Indrayani School said, “This session
offered valuable insights into balancing physical and mental well-being. The
learnings will help us both personally and professionally and we can
effectively pass these lessons on to our students. I appreciate Priyadarshani
Schools for organizing such a meaningful and enriching session for teachers.”

Sonali
Jamgade, Teacher at Priyadarshani Indrayani Nagar,&quot;Today&#039;s session
provided a simple yet impactful introduction to mindfulness and was highly
motivating for all teachers. It highlighted the importance of mindful living,
healthy eating habits and proper hydration. These learnings will benefit us
personally and help us guide our students by planning mindful food and water
breaks while fostering greater awareness of overall well-being.&quot;

The
programme concluded with an engaging interaction among participants and
speakers, reinforcing the important role teachers play in shaping not only
academic outcomes but also the emotional and social development of students. By
investing in educator well-being and professional growth, Priyadarshani Group
of Schools aims to foster healthier, more supportive and more engaging learning
environments that ultimately benefit students and the larger school community.

have contributed towards building a culture of excellence, innovation, and
responsible leadership. At ISME, we remain committed to creating future-ready
professionals equipped with global perspectives, ethical values, and
industry-relevant capabilities.”

The

learning ecosystem that combines academic rigor with industry relevance and
global exposure. Over the years, ISME has strengthened its emphasis on
experiential learning, innovation-led pedagogy, entrepreneurship, international
collaborations, and industry integration to prepare its PGDM students for the
rapidly evolving global business environments.

Speaking
on the accreditation, Dr. Rony G. Kurien, Dean, International School of
Management Excellence, said, “EFMD’s perspective has also helped us realign our
mission and recognize ISME’s distinctive strength in Internationalisation at
Home. For students, this recognition opens the door to enhanced global exposure
and wider academic and industry opportunities. In today’s interconnected world,
students increasingly look for institutions that are aligned with international

<title>Capability, Not Just Capital, Emerges as the Key Differentiator for BFSI Leaders at People Matters BFSI Talent &amp;amp; Tech Summit 2026</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/capability-not-just-capital-emerges-as-the-key-differentiator-for-bfsi-leaders-at-people-matters-bfsi-talent-tech-summit-2026</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/capability-not-just-capital-emerges-as-the-key-differentiator-for-bfsi-leaders-at-people-matters-bfsi-talent-tech-summit-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Key
Highlights:

●       
Skills intelligence, AI governance, and
leadership reinvention emerged as the sector&#039;s top workforce imperatives.

●       
In 10 hours of leadership sessions, 210+
leaders agreed that capability, not capital alone, will define competitive
advantage in the next decade of BFSI growth.

●       
Success requires dynamic skill architectures,
agile operating models, and robust human oversight of AI.

●       
Trust, institutional resilience, and
psychological safety emerged as the competitive advantage in a digital-first
financial ecosystem.

Mumbai,
June 8, 2026 : India’s US$1+ trillion BFSI sector is
expanding rapidly, fueled by digital transformation and an 8.7% hiring growth
rate. Yet, organisations face a 42% skills gap in high-growth roles,
while one in three employees considers leaving amid ongoing uncertainty. A
global drop in entry-level hiring further strains the sector’s future
leadership pipeline.

At
this intersection of extraordinary opportunity and structural urgency, People
Matters convened the inaugural BFSI Talent &amp; Tech Summit 2026 at
Taj Santacruz, Mumbai on June 4. The event brought together more than 210
CHROs, business leaders, and digital strategists from leading banks, insurance
companies, NBFCs, fintechs, and wealth management firms, under one defining
conviction: Capability is the New Currency.

In
his keynote address, Pushkar Bidwai, CEO, People Matters, highlighted
the growing gap between technology adoption and workforce readiness.

&quot;Technology
transformation is moving faster than workforce transformation. The organisations
that will lead the next decade will not be those that simply deploy more AI,
but those that design work around humans so AI can work at scale. In a world
where skills change faster than ever, capability has become the new currency of
growth. The real challenge is no longer technology adoption; it is building the
leadership systems, cultures, and frameworks where people and technology truly
augment each other. That is where the next chapter of workforce transformation
will be won or lost,&quot; said Bidwai.

Throughout
the day, discussions centred on how BFSI organisations can build future-ready
talent architectures in an environment shaped by AI, changing customer
expectations, regulatory complexity, and new workforce dynamics.

In
an insightful leadership dialogue, Dinesh Khara, Board Chairman,
PeopleStrong and Former Chairman, State Bank of India, directly links the
survival and expansion of the BFSI industry to a combination of human
resource skills, technology, and AI, emphasising that the workforce must change
and adapt.

“To
truly achieve the scale of growth our sector aspires to by 2047, we will need
more than just skilled human resources, we must also harness technology and
artificial intelligence. Success will depend on our ability to leverage every
available tool, integrating people, technology, and AI to meet the ambitions of
the Indian economy as it transforms for the future,” said Khara. 

Addressing
the critical need for executive accountability in people strategy, Anil
Khandelwal, Former Chairman and Managing Director, Bank of Baroda,
remarked:

&quot;The
real challenge before HR is not the employees. The challenge is dealing with
higher management, especially the CEO and the board. Unless leaders recognise
that owning human resources is a core business responsibility, organisations
risk managing tomorrow with yesterday&#039;s mindset. In a decade defined by
disruption, that is a risk no institution can afford.&quot;

Sharing
Kotak Life&#039;s approach to cultivating these future-ready capabilities, Ruchira
Bhardwaja, CHRO, Kotak Life, said:

&quot;The
question is no longer whether organisations are investing enough in learning.
The real question is whether that learning is helping people solve tomorrow&#039;s
business problems. Capability building must move beyond training hours and
certifications towards creating experiences, leadership readiness, and
organisational agility at scale.&quot;

A
Gathering of the Industry&#039;s Foremost Minds

The
summit’s high-impact dialogue was shaped by an extensive lineup of top
transformation leaders, including Madhavi Lall (Managing Director, Head - HR
India, Deutsche Bank), Vishal Kukreja (CHRO, RBL Bank), Suresh Kumar Sivaraj
(CHRO, Muthoot Fincorp Ltd.), Nisha Rodi (Head - HR, NPCI BHIM), Manmeet Sandhu
(Chief People Officer, PhonePe), Dr Harpreet Singh Anand (CHRO, Protean eGov
Technologies), Ganapathi Subramanian (CHRO, Sundaram Home Finance), T Mark
Fernandes (Head HR - Corporate, Kotak Life), Manjul Tilak, (CHRO, Piramal
Finance Ltd.) and many more.

The
summit concluded that enduring BFSI institutions are built on social and
cultural capital, not just financial performance. Leaders warned that playing
it safe with AI or resisting cultural evolution is the greatest risk, and that
the future belongs to agile, customer-centric organizations that
institutionalise psychological safety, renew capability, and make trust their
competitive edge.

<title>HUFT Express: Now Live In Bengaluru 3000+ pet care essentials, delivered to your doorstep</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/huft-express-now-live-in-bengaluru-3000-pet-care-essentials-delivered-to-your-doorstep</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/huft-express-now-live-in-bengaluru-3000-pet-care-essentials-delivered-to-your-doorstep</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ There’s a very
particular kind of panic every pet parent knows.

The
kind that hits when you realise the cat litter is almost over at 10 PM. Or when
your dog’s food packet suddenly feels far lighter than expected. Or when your
pet’s favourite treats, supplements, or calming essentials run out, right
before a long day begins.

When
it comes to pets, these aren’t just purchases. They are daily essentials tied
to routines, comfort, health, and trust. Our pets don’t understand delayed
deliveries, they only know breakfast time, walk time, mealtime, comfort time.

And
for years, pet parents across India have turned to Heads Up For Tails
for exactly that trust: thoughtfully curated products, high-quality essentials,
and expert-backed care designed around the real needs of pets and the people
who love them.

Now,
we&#039;re bringing that trust even closer.

HUFT
Express, Heads Up For Tails’ fast-delivery service for pet essentials, is now
live across all pincodes in Bengaluru, helping pet parents access over 3,000
products from their nearest Heads Up For Tails  store with same-day delivery.

Built
around a simple insight that pet parenting rarely happens according to plan,
HUFT Express is designed for the everyday moments when essentials simply can&#039;t
wait. Whether it&#039;s a last-minute food refill, an urgent litter restock,
grooming essentials before a trip, or replacing a toy that was enthusiastically
played with (read: destroyed) within hours of unboxing it. 

The
service offers access to a wide assortment of products across food, treats,
toys, litter, grooming, healthcare, walk gear, accessories and everyday pet
essentials for dogs and cats, making it easier for pet parents to get what they
need, when they need it.

But
beyond faster delivery, HUFT Express is really about something deeper:
reliability.

Every
order is fulfilled directly from the nearest HUFT store. The same stores pet
parents already visit, rely on, and trust for their pets&#039; needs. This not only
enables same-day delivery across Bengaluru, but also gives pet parents greater
confidence in the quality, availability and reliability of the products
arriving at their doorstep.

Speaking
about the initiative, Nishad Vishwas Kenkre,
Chief Business Officer, Heads Up For Tails, said:

&quot;HUFT
Express is a natural extension of what Heads Up For Tails
has always stood for - trust, quality, and thoughtful pet care. For nearly two
decades, Indian pet parents have relied on us for products and experiences
designed around the real needs of pets, and now we&#039;re bringing that same
confidence and curation to online shopping with the speed and convenience that
modern pet parenting demands. We&#039;re incredibly excited about building this
omni-channel experience where the warmth and reliability of our stores can
reach pet parents at their doorstep.&quot;

The
response from Bengaluru&#039;s pet parent community has been overwhelmingly
positive. Pet parents have embraced the convenience of getting trusted pet
essentials delivered faster, while continuing to enjoy the confidence that
comes with shopping from Heads Up For Tails.

The
experience has also resonated strongly across the wider pet community, with
several leading pet influencers sharing their appreciation for HUFT Express
across social media platforms.

HUFT
Express is now available across Bengaluru. Pet parents can place orders on headsupfortails.com
or by downloading the HUFT App.

Because
sometimes it&#039;s not just a bag of food or a box of litter.
It&#039;s tomorrow morning&#039;s breakfast. Or tonight&#039;s routine.
And when it comes to pets, every little moment matters. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Messe
Frankfurt Trade Fairs India and Virtual Info Systems partners with ITS India
Forum to bring India’s premier Intelligent Transportation Systems forum to
Transport + Traffic Infratech Expo, creating a unified platform for innovation,
dialogue, and business in mobility and transport infrastructure.

Mumbai,
Maharashtra, 8 June 2026:  In
a landmark development for India’s rapidly evolving mobility, transportation,
and digital infrastructure ecosystem, Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India and
Virtual Info Systems (VIS Group), organisers of Transport + Traffic Infratech
Expo and its co-located shows Road Infratech Expo and Parking Infratech Expo,
have entered into a long-term strategic alliance with ITS India Forum to
organise the ITS India Congress alongside Transport + Traffic Infratech Expo
commencing with the 2026 edition scheduled to take place on 7–8 October 2026
and continuing in subsequent editions.

At
a time when India is making unprecedented investments in highways, urban
transit, logistics, and digital infrastructure, the need for intelligent,
safe, efficient, and sustainable mobility solutions has never been greater. As
home to the world&#039;s second-largest road network and one of the fastest-growing
automotive markets globally, India faces increasing challenges related to
congestion, road safety, urban mobility, and logistics efficiency making the
adoption of Intelligent Transportation Systems a national imperative.

Against
this backdrop, India&#039;s growing investments in smart mobility, AI-driven
transportation systems, intelligent traffic management, digital tolling,
multimodal connectivity, and sustainable infrastructure present a unique
opportunity to accelerate the transformation of the country&#039;s mobility
ecosystem. It is this shared vision that underpins the integration of the ITS
India Congress, an initiative of the ITS India Forum and India&#039;s premier annual
forum for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), combined with Transport +
Traffic Infratech Expo, the country&#039;s leading trade exhibition for traffic,
transport, road infrastructure, parking, and smart mobility solutions, will
establish one of India&#039;s most comprehensive platforms for innovation, policy
dialogue, knowledge exchange, and business engagement across the transportation
and mobility ecosystem.

Commenting
on the strategic alliance, the leadership teams of Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs
India, Virtual Info Systems (VIS Group) and ITS India Forum highlighted the
importance of creating a unified platform that will drive innovation, policy
dialogue, and industry collaboration across India&#039;s rapidly evolving mobility
and transportation ecosystem.

Mr
Raj Manek, Executive Director &amp; Board Member, Messe Frankfurt Aisa Holdings
Ltd, said:  &quot;India
is at a pivotal stage in the evolution of its transportation and mobility
ecosystem, driven by significant investments in infrastructure, digital transformation,
and smart mobility initiatives. As these sectors continue to converge, the need
for a comprehensive platform that facilitates dialogue, innovation, business
engagement, and cross-sector collaboration has become increasingly important.
The strategic integration of the ITS India Congress with Transport + Traffic
Infratech Expo reflects our commitment to creating high-value industry
platforms that address emerging market needs and support sectoral growth. By
bringing together policymakers, government authorities, technology providers,
infrastructure developers, academia, and industry leaders, we are creating a
unique platform that not only showcases innovation but also fosters meaningful
conversations around the future of mobility and transportation.”

Mr.
Akhilesh Srivastava, President, ITS India Forum, added: &quot;A
flagship event of this scale demands the right blend of domain leadership and
world-class event production, and that is precisely the value this joint
venture unlocks,&quot; said Mr. Akhilesh Srivastava, President, ITS India
Forum. &quot;The ITS India Forum brings the technical depth, credibility, and
stakeholder network; Traffic Infra brings the production expertise to deliver a

<title>Indian Students Returning Home See 8.4x Income Growth as India Hits Record $135 Billion in Remittances: MPOWER Financing 2026 Social Impact Report</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/indian-students-returning-home-see-84x-income-growth-as-india-hits-record-135-billion-in-remittances-mpower-financing-2026-social-impact-report</link>

<description><![CDATA[  

Global
education lender marks 12 years, $1 billion in tuition funded, India remains
among the largest sources of high-intent international students

Delhi/Bengaluru,
8th June 2026: MPOWER Financing, the leading provider of
no-cosigner education loans for international students, released its 2026
Social Impact Report, a twelve-year data study covering 25,000+ students from
183 countries. For Indian students and families, the data tells a compelling
story: Indian graduates who return home see their income grow 8.4 times, while
India as a nation recorded a record $135 billion in remittances in FY2025, up
14% year on year, partly fuelled by students who studied abroad.

India
remains the largest source of international graduate students in the United
States, with enrollment rising 19% to nearly 200,000 students. Within this,
MPOWER-supported students from India represent a high-ambition, career-driven
segment largely pursuing postgraduate degrees in engineering, data science,
business, and healthcare, fields that align directly with North America&#039;s
critical skills shortages.

MPOWER&#039;s
data puts a human face to these numbers: 77% of its graduates who are employed
full-time send money home, averaging $6,000 annually. For families earning
$15,000 or less per year, that single contribution represents a 40–50% increase
in total household income.

A
central finding of the 2026 report is that access to financing is not a
secondary concern for Indian students, it is the primary one. Across MPOWER&#039;s
global borrower base, 93% said they would not have been able to study abroad
without MPOWER&#039;s support, a figure that is highly relevant for Indian students,
who face significant collateral and cosigner barriers in accessing
international credit.

MPOWER&#039;s
model evaluates students on future earning potential rather than family wealth,
removing requirements for collateral or a cosigner. The results speak for
themselves: 92% of students supported are enrolled in postgraduate programs,
57% are first-generation college students, and 76% come from households earning
under $15,000 per year.

&quot;When
I co-founded MPOWER in 2014, my thesis was simple: the single biggest barrier
between brilliant young people and a global education was not talent nor
ambition, but capital,&quot; said Manu Smadja, Co-Founder and CEO of MPOWER
Financing. &quot;Twelve years of data later, that thesis has only solidified.
When you remove financial barriers, the rest of the system bends. Universities
fill seats, employers gain talent, and communities in origin countries receive
vital remittances. The students themselves achieve socioeconomic mobility and
they pay it forward.” 

MPOWER
graduates who return to India still see an average income increase of 8.4x
compared to pre-study earnings. Those who remain abroad send capital, share learnings,
and professional networks back home. The report highlights that India&#039;s IT
revolution was itself partly catalysed by this cycle of Indian professionals
gaining experience in U.S. technology companies and channelling investment,
expertise, and global business relationships back into the domestic economy.

&quot;International
education and mobility are not losses, but multipliers,&quot; the report
states. &quot;When empowered with opportunity, today&#039;s students become
tomorrow&#039;s innovators, investors, and changemakers, uplifting not just
themselves, but their families, communities, and nations.&quot;

About
MPOWER Financing

MPOWER
Financing, headquartered in Washington, D.C., and
Bengaluru is a mission-driven fintech company and the leading provider of
global education loans. Its proprietary algorithm leverages both historical and
forward-looking data to finance high-potential international students without
requiring collateral or a cosigner. MPOWER is dedicated to &quot;borderless
loans for borderless minds.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ NEW DELHI,
India  : Regulatory compliance
has become an important aspect when it comes to industrial operations. Getting
a factory licence approval and dealing with documentation management is the
first thing that businesses look into now. With the evolving compliance
requirements and complications associated with each step, FactoryLicence.in
provides compliance assistance and licensing support that assists businesses in
simplifying all the regulatory requirements for industrial units and growing
businesses. The platform offers services such as Factory Licence Registration,
Factory Licence Renewal, Fire NOC, Pollution NOC, Labour Law Compliance, Fire
Safety Approvals, and Industrial Licensing Support across major industrial
regions such as for Pollution NOC services in Haryana, Delhi, and Uttar
Pradesh.

With the
rapid growth of manufacturing and industrial activities in India, regulatory
compliance has become an important criterion for businesses operating
production and industrial units. The Factories Act, 1948 stipulates the
conditions for obtaining a Factory Licence for businesses that undertake all
manufacturing operations involving a specified number of employees and plants.
The licence is basically a document that establishes eligibility for
manufacturing units to operate in the sectors of health, safety, welfare, and
environmental standards. This is required by the government and establishments
are obliged to comply with it.

The factory
licence registration and renewal process, however, can be quite document-heavy,
with numerous inspections, approvals from various departments, and compliance
standards to be adhered to. Understanding the different state-wise regulations
and keeping up with timely compliance can be a complicated and time-consuming
task for many businesses, especially emerging manufacturers, MSMEs, and
industrial startups. A slowdown in the approval process or a lack of
documentation could also affect the business expansion strategies and the
continuity of operations.

To ease
these processes, FactoryLicence.in offers assistance in Factory Licence
Registration, Renewals, Compliance with labour laws, Fire and Safety Approvals,
Pollution NOCs, and document support for all industrial establishments. It also
helps businesses to connect with other departments to facilitate inspection and
approval processes and to support manufacturers in maintaining continual
compliance requirements.

Thus,
factorylicence.in also provides location-specific compliance support for
businesses that operate in the industrial hubs across the Northern part of the
country. This platform assists manufacturers and industrial establishments in
obtaining their factory licence, Fire NOC, Pollution NOC Uttar Pradesh. In a
gist, the company supports factories, warehouses, food manufacturing units,
chemical plants, and MSMEs with better compliance guidance, and provides
approval coordination.

As
awareness about industrial safety, operational legalities, and regulatory
preparedness grows, companies are keen to have structured compliance support in
order to carry out their licensing process more efficiently. As a firm
committed to assisting manufacturing industries in complying with factory
license regulations, FactoryLicence.in offers manufacturers the necessary
documentation guidance, procedural support, and regular regulatory support.

“FactoryLicence.in
made the entire process of obtaining our factory licence smooth and
stress-free. Their team was responsive, knowledgeable, and highly professional
throughout the process.”

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, June 2026 : Amid recent discussions surrounding a
preliminary inquiry initiated by the Competition Commission of India (CCI),
Mrs. India Inc has reiterated its confidence in the legal process while
highlighting the platform&#039;s long-standing contribution to women&#039;s empowerment
and international representation.

Over
the years, Mrs. India Inc has emerged as one of India&#039;s leading pageant
platforms for married women, providing opportunities for personal development,
leadership, mentorship, and international representation. As the matter remains
under investigation, former winners and participants have come forward to share
their experiences and support for the platform.

Exclusive
Interview with Mohini Sharma

Q:
With recent allegations and the ongoing CCI inquiry attracting public
attention, what would you like to say to participants, titleholders, and
stakeholders who have placed their trust in Mrs. India Inc.?

Mohini
Sharma, Founder &amp; National Director, Mrs. India Inc:

&quot;For
over a decade, Mrs. India Inc. has been committed to empowering married women
and providing them with opportunities to grow, lead, and represent India on
global platforms. Every year, we witness remarkable women step out of their
comfort zones, discover their potential, and achieve milestones they once thought
impossible.&quot;

&quot;We
respect the regulatory process and have complete faith in the institutions that
govern it. The current order is only a preliminary procedural step, and we are
confident that once all facts are examined objectively, the truth will prevail.
We believe it is important for everyone to understand that allegations are not
findings, and investigations are meant to establish facts.&quot;

&quot;Our
focus remains unchanged to continue supporting women, maintaining the highest
standards of professionalism, and creating a platform that celebrates
confidence, leadership, and personal growth. The trust of our participants,
titleholders, partners, and supporters is our greatest strength, and we remain
committed to upholding that trust every step of the way.&quot;

&quot;The
Platform Changed My Life&quot; — Navdeep Kaur

Former
Mrs. India World 2021 winner Navdeep Kaur credits the platform with
opening doors that transformed her personal and professional journey.

&quot;Mrs.
India World 2021 was a life-changing experience that gave me opportunities far
beyond the crown. From representing India internationally to learning from some
of the finest mentors in the industry, every aspect of the journey reflected
professionalism, discipline, and empowerment.&quot;

She
highlighted the extensive mentorship and equal opportunities provided to
participants.

&quot;What
stood out most was that every participant was given equal respect and equal
opportunity to grow. The platform encouraged authenticity and rewarded
dedication, hard work, and commitment.&quot;

According
to Navdeep, the experience reinforced her belief in the values of integrity and
transparency that she witnessed throughout her journey.

 &quot;A Reputation Built Through Years of
Dedication&quot; — Monalisa Hazarika

Monalisa
Hazarika, Mrs International World Runner up, also
spoke about her experience.

&quot;My
journey with Mrs. India Inc was marked by transparency, discipline, and a
genuine commitment to empowering women. The organization invests considerable
effort and resources into helping participants build confidence and prepare
themselves for larger opportunities.&quot;

She
believes the platform&#039;s reputation has been earned through years of dedication
and successful participant outcomes.

&quot;The
achievements of countless women who have gone on to represent India globally
are a testament to the work done by the organization. I believe any institution
should be judged on facts and its long-term contributions rather than
unverified allegations.&quot;

Mrs.
India Inc has maintained that all agreements entered into with participants are
lawful, voluntary, and aligned with accepted industry practices. The
organization also emphasized that its primary objective has always been to
safeguard the credibility of the competition, the dignity of titleholders, and
the integrity of international affiliations.

The
platform&#039;s leadership remains confident that the ongoing inquiry will provide
clarity and allow the facts to be examined in their entirety.

For
thousands of women who have participated in the platform over the years, Mrs.
India Inc represents more than a beauty pageant it represents an opportunity
for growth, confidence, leadership, and global recognition.

As
the process continues, the organization says it remains focused on its mission
of empowering married women across India and helping them represent themselves
and the country with confidence, talent, and pride on the world stage. ]]></description>
