journeys, and thought leadership that inspire growth beyond conventional
success.

White Coat, Red Heart: Dr. Ashwini
Kumar Aiyangar Blends Medicine, Compassion &amp; Storytelling 

Dr. Ashwinikumar Aiyangar
is a senior Consultant Nephrologist with Apollo Hospitals, Secunderabad,
endurance athlete, musician and debut author whose first novel, White Coat
Red Heart, has drawn attention for its deeply human portrayal of medicine
and life within hospital walls. With over seventeen years of experience in
nephrology, dialysis and organ transplantation, he brings authentic emotional
insight into the world of doctors, medical students, patients and caregivers. 

Blending the discipline of medicine with the sensitivity of
storytelling, Dr. Ashwin’s writing explores themes of compassion, resilience,
sacrifice and emotional healing. White Coat Red Heart has resonated with
readers for presenting healthcare not merely as a profession, but as a
profoundly human journey shaped by relationships, struggles and hope.

Beyond medicine, he is a full Ironman triathlete, marathon runner and
musician, experiences that have influenced his perspective on endurance,
empathy and personal growth. Through his work, he hopes to inspire readers to
look beyond achievements and recognise the emotional heartbeat that connects
all people.

Dr. Mustafa Yusufali Gom
on the AI Revolution in Business &amp; Branding

Dr. Mustafa Yusufali Gom
believes that Artificial Intelligence is no longer just an automation tool, but
a collaborative force transforming creativity, decision-making, and predictive
business strategies across industries. As reflected in his book Samvad: Naye
Bharat Ka Sankalp and implemented through the vision of CARE TAKERS Exterior
&amp; Interior Pvt Ltd, he emphasizes that true innovation lies in balancing technology

emerged as a pioneering name in building restoration, modernization, and

Rethinking Success in the
India We Dreamed Of - Anshu Joshi Singh

Anshu Joshi Singh-  Author, Author coach, Life coach, NLP
practitioner, Motivational Public Speaker, and Founder-Director of Snow Finch
Publishing, who has spent years helping people rewrite their inner stories,
find their voice, and step into their fullest potential.

We may be India&#039;s most
aspirational generation and its most directionless. The problem isn&#039;t ambition
itself, but ambition severed from conscience: one that fills balance sheets
while emptying the soul. India once gave the world nishkama karma  selfless action without hunger for reward.
Today, we&#039;ve outsourced the very definition of success to systems built without
Indian civilisational values in mind. We chase valuations, percentile ranks,
and LinkedIn endorsements.

 That&#039;s a civilisational failure of
imagination. The India that resisted the empire wasn&#039;t powered by personal
wealth  it was powered by people who
measured themselves against a larger idea. Somewhere between liberalisation and
the startup boom, individual excellence decoupled from national purpose.

True success echoes. It
either widens the world for those behind you or narrows it. So after &quot;How
do I succeed?&quot; ask: &quot;What does my success make possible for
others?&quot; The real success story of this century won&#039;t be written in
unicorn valuations  but in whether a
billion people chose to rise together.

Where Lines Cross: A
Story of Partition, Integrity &amp; Humanity 

Where Lines Cross by Arun
Kaul is a multigenerational tale set against the backdrop of the 1947
Partition, exploring how loss, choices, and challenges shape human lives. The
story follows two resilient women, Phoolrani and Sona Jigri, who endure
violence, displacement, and personal tragedy, yet rebuild their lives with
dignity and strength.

Years later, their sons-
Dr. Arjun, an ambitious doctor driven by success, and Maj. Vijay, a principled
army officer guided by ethics; cross paths in a hospital that gradually becomes
a battleground of conflicting values. Through themes of greed, morality, and
human resilience, the novel questions the true meaning of success and the cost
of losing humanity in its pursuit. Blending history with ethical dilemmas, the
book stands as a compelling tribute to integrity, womanhood, and conscious
living.

Ms. Reetwika Banerjee:
Shaping the Future of AI &amp; Cybersecurity

Ms. Reetwika Banerjee,
Managing Director of Fly High Group, is a distinguished cybersecurity leader
advancing AI-powered Information Technology and Security services. As a woman
leader, she provides strategic direction to enterprises on cyber resilience
while championing secure digital ecosystems. With over 18 years of experience
as a cyber strategist, she also serves as the President of Public Safety and
Security Council Bengal and advises global enterprises on data privacy. Her
contributions have been recognized with honours including the Symbiosis Hall of
Fame and India’s #AIReady CISO Award 2025.

Conclusion 

Together, these stories
encourage readers to reflect on the evolving relationship between humanity,
technology, ethics, emotional well-being, and purpose; reminding us that true
progress is not only measured by achievement, but by the positive impact we
create in the lives of others.

<title>Backed by Science: Indulekha Bringha Hair Growth Serum Completes Second Clinical Trial, Proves New Hair Growth in 90 days</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Clinical
trials show the Ayurvedic hair growth serum grows over 11,000 new hair strands
in 90 days while improving hair density and root strength.

MUMBAI,
India, May 18, 2026 :  Indulekha has announced the successful
completion of its second large clinical study on the Indulekha Bringha Hair
Growth Serum, further strengthening its position as the most clinically
validated hair growth serum in India.

Key
findings from the latest trials, conducted in 2025 following an earlier study
in 2024:


 11,000 new hair strands grown in 90 days validated through a rigorous scientific study.
 Grows 2x more hair than serums containing 3% Redensyl
 74% improvement in the Anagen-to-Telogen
     (A:T) ratio establishing the products ability to
     restore healthier hair growth cycle.


The
studies were conducted through registered Clinical Research Organisations under
the supervision of dermatologists and Ayurvedic practitioners.

Our
approach has always been to combine authentic Ayurvedic formulations with
rigorous clinical validation. By conducting two independent clinical trials
across two years, we aim to give consumers complete transparency and confidence
in the product’s efficacy and its ability to deliver real, measurable results,”
said Sairam Subramanian, VP, Haircare, Unilever.

The
findings indicate that the formulation supports the natural hair growth cycle
by delivering results at a follicular level. It observed that 97% agreed that
the serum increases thickness and visibly improves hair volume.

The
hair growth market, particularly the scalp serum category, has become
increasingly cluttered with several brands offering similar 3% Redensyl-based
formulations. In the interest of the consumers we serve, it was therefore
essential for us to rigorously evaluate the efficacy of 3% Redensyl through a
comparative clinical study against Indulekha Hair Growth Serum, ensuring a more
robust, credible, and science-backed assessment of performance.

The
dual studies were conducted during 2024 and 2025 on participants aged between
20 and 45 years, including both men and women experiencing early and moderate
hair thinning. The trials evaluated multiple parameters associated with hair
growth and scalp health, including new hair growth, hair shedding, follicle
strength, and scalp barrier function.

Participants
in the study also reported strong visible outcomes:


 100% observed thicker-looking hair
 97% reported a noticeable reduction in
     hair fall
 97% experienced improvement in hair
     density


The
findings from the 2024 clinical trial have already been published, while the
2025 trial results have been submitted for publication in the International
Journal of Research in Dermatology.

Indulekha’s
efforts reflect a broader effort to bridge traditional Ayurvedic knowledge with
modern dermatological science. All clinical studies are conducted on Indian
participants with real hair fall conditions, ensuring the results are relevant
to Indian scalp characteristics and hair density patterns. With multiple
clinical trials conducted across its portfolio to date, Indulekha continues to
invest in scientific validation of Ayurvedic formulations.

About
Indulekha

Indulekha
is a heritage Ayurvedic brand known for its science-backed expert scalp care
solutions that blend time-tested Ayurvedic wisdom with modern science. The
brand’s iconic Bringha Hair Oil is one of India’s most trusted solutions for
hair growth and Bringha Hair Serum is a natural progression in its promise of
authentic, efficacy driven &amp; clinically proven Ayurveda.

<description><![CDATA[ Oracle Communications to
support Indian ICT leader’s goal to optimize operations and expedite delivery
of new digital services

Mumbai - May
18, 2026 :  Ishan Technologies,
a rapidly evolving information and communication technology (ICT) company, has
selected Oracle Communications to
drive an ambitious, end-to-end digital transformation initiative. The
collaboration aims to modernize charging and billing, enabling faster
time-to-market for new offerings, more flexible pricing and discount models,
and improved operational efficiency across Ishan’s portfolio. The program will
also help establish a unified digital backbone to support Ishan Technologies’
continued expansion. 

“Partnering
with Oracle Communications marks a significant milestone for Ishan
Technologies,” said Pinkesh Kotecha, CMD, Ishan Technologies. “This
initiative gives us an integrated monetization foundation and flexibility for
complex business models, enabling us to develop solutions tailored to evolving
customer demands, boost operational efficiency, and accelerate our journey
towards full digitalization. Most importantly, it reflects our ongoing
commitment to providing our customers with exceptional digital experiences.”

Ishan Technologies operates across five
high-growth service lines, including enterprise internet and ISP/NLD
connectivity over 100,000+ km of fiber, surveillance and networking
integration, cybersecurity and compliance services, managed cloud and data
center solutions, and smart city command centers.

As
demand for agile, data-driven infrastructure grows, Ishan Technologies is
evolving from a standalone
telecom services model to an AI-enabled, digital-first infrastructure and experience
platform. Anchored in a commitment to superior service and long-term value
creation, this transformation reshapes how the company will engage with
customers. By deploying Oracle Cloud Scale Monetization
and Oracle Unified Operations,
Ishan Technologies can leverage solutions that combine advanced monetization
and closed-loop automation via Oracle’s order orchestration, inventory, and
service fulfilment functions on a telco-grade platform. 

Automated orchestration will help
accelerate time to revenue as the company transitions to modern connectivity
services, integrating data networks, cloud interconnect, MPLS, SASE, and
bandwidth-on-demand under a single umbrella. With Oracle, Ishan Technologies
will be able to deliver end-to-end service lifecycle management for
faster service provisioning, automatic identification, and mapping of network
resources through integration with network monitoring and management tools, and
end-to-end network and service topology views for better insight and
troubleshooting. Machine
learning (ML)-driven advanced root cause analysis capabilities will help Ishan
Technologies’ operations teams swiftly identify and prioritize
service-impacting issues and initiate targeted actions to quickly resolve them.

Advanced
monetization will also help Ishan Technologies reduce custom development,
improve billing accuracy, and accelerate new service launches. Built-in
charging and billing plus payment and collections experiences are integrated
across digital channels using TM Forum APIs. In tandem, Ishan Technologies can
support unified rating across prepaid and postpaid customers using a single
rating/calculation function, with flexible charging, discounts, and billing
adjustments for campaigns, agreements, and differentiated offers. Complex
enterprise billing model support includes multi-organization/legal-entity
billing, enterprise hierarchies, single bill, and cross-line-of-business
discounts.

“As
service providers face increasing competition and disruption, they’re turning
to real-time, scalable digital platforms to simplify and automate business
operations,” said Andrew Morawski, executive vice president and general
manager, Oracle Applications, Regulated Industries. “Innovative operators like Ishan
Technologies are leading the way in creating connected digital experiences that
respond to customer expectations and market demands.”

Aarav Solutions was chosen as the
delivery partner based on more than 13 years of Oracle Communications
implementation experience.

<title>From AI Awareness to AI Leadership: The Outlook Tech Professionals Need in 2026</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-ai-awareness-to-ai-leadership-the-outlook-tech-professionals-need-in-2026</link>

<description><![CDATA[ AI
is no longer a niche capability. It is becoming a baseline expectation across
roles, functions, and industries. If we look at today’s highly competitive
labor market, AI and machine learning roles are growing significantly faster
than most other professions globally, creating a strong demand for
professionals with both technical depth and strategic capability, but the real
shift is deeper. Organizations are no longer just experimenting with AI. They
are trying to scale it. And that reveals a critical gap. The challenge is not
access to tools, but the ability to either build them at depth or lead them at
scale.

This
shift is creating two clear career paths in the AI economy. One for
professionals who want to build AI systems, and another for those who need to
lead AI transformation within organizations. Both require very different skill
sets. And increasingly, both require structured, high-quality learning to move
beyond surface-level understanding. This is where UC Berkeley Executive
Education’s AI programs are becoming relevant, offering distinct pathways for
both builders and leaders.

Duration:
9 Months
Starts: 30 June 2026
Mode: Online + Live Online
Credential: UC Berkeley Executive Education Certificate of Completion

The
Road Ahead

AI
is becoming universal. Expertise is not.

The next phase of
careers in technology will not be defined by who can access AI, but by who can
build it or lead it effectively. Surface-level familiarity is quickly becoming
insufficient. Organizations are looking for professionals who can translate AI
into real systems, real strategies, and real outcomes. Because in 2026, knowing
AI won’t set you apart, what you do with it will.

<description><![CDATA[  

●     
A high-profile collaboration with
celebrity interior designer Sussanne Khan sets the tone for the one-of-a-kind
luxuriance this project will offer


●     
Expansive layouts and a completely
personalised living experience elevate Platinum Stellar: Bespoke Presidential
Suites to a league of its own  

●     
Located on Main Avenue, one of
Mumbai’s most coveted residential neighbourhoods, the project exudes
timelessness and understated elegance


 Mumbai, May 18, 2026: The future of
luxury is bespoke. And Platinum Corp., a developer acclaimed for creating
expansive, immersive living experiences for the city’s most discerning
homebuyers and investors, is embodying this ethos in its latest launch –
Platinum Stellar: Bespoke Presidential Suites.

A first-of-its-kind project that stems from the developer’s
deep and forward-looking understanding of Mumbai’s vibrant residential
landscape, Platinum Stellar: Bespoke Presidential Suites is underpinned by a
distinct design-first approach and understated approach to luxury, as
underscored by a design collaboration with celebrity interior designer Sussanne
Khan. Her expert touch permeates the depth and character of the project’s
distinct design language, while Platinum Corp.’s vast experience spanning more
than 15 years of trust and 1.75 million sq. ft delivered across Mumbai’s prime
suburbs is evident in how effortlessly the project distinguishes itself in
Mumbai’s crowded luxury landscape.

Described by Platinum Corp. as an expression of luxury that
is emotional, experiential and deeply intentional, the project has design
integrated into its very core – from spatial planning and proportions to
arrival experience and amenities, every aspect is curated to deliver a
cohesive, elevated lifestyle. Positioned as a timeless Art Deco-inspired landmark
for contemporary living, Platinum Stellar: Bespoke Presidential Suites is a
quiet statement of confidence in an otherwise fast-evolving, trend-driven
market. Inspired by the philosophy of Alison Duncan, it reinterprets the
precision, rhythm, and detail of 1920s Art Deco into a modern, highly
functional living experience. Whether in its refined, rhythmic detailing; deep,
elegant material palette that reinforces identity; or fluid layouts that
seamlessly accommodate contemporary living, the project is not just another
luxury development but rather a modern-day landmark, built to endure.

Amenities are woven into the project’s DNA as extensions of
lifestyle rather than an afterthought. From elegant hosting spaces and a
private party lounge to tranquil wellness zones with the calming presence of
water, every element is designed for balance and indulgence. Dedicated spaces
for yoga, aerial fitness, and a spa–salon experience ensure everyday wellness
feels effortless, even as the common areas are crafted to reflect identity and
stature. Equally compelling is Stellar’s location in Main Avenue, which offers
the rare balance of exclusivity and connectivity with seamless access to
Bandra, Khar, and key arterial routes. Proximity to premium social
infrastructure, high-street retail, fine dining, and business districts ensures
that residents are always at the centre of convenience, without compromising on
privacy.

Commenting on the project’s launch, Vishal Ratanghayra,
Founder &amp; CEO of Platinum Corp., said, “Platinum Stellar: Presidential
Suites is not just another address in Santacruz. It is a rare expression of
status, design and elevated living for evolved homeowners who regard homes as
more than just living spaces but as extensions of their identity and stature.
This differentiation is apparent in every element of the project, which was
intentionally designed as a low-density, high-end residential development. Our
decision to offer a limited number of residences on a premium land parcel is an
intentional one. Strategically, it is a flagship project for Platinum Corp.,
not only due to its design-led approach but also its collaboration with
Sussanne Khan, which elevates it into a marquee offering within our portfolio.
It sets the tone for a larger pipeline of premium launches planned by our
company, making it a key project that defines our current positioning and
future direction.”

Sussanne Khan, celebrity interior designer, remarked:
“Platinum Stellar: Bespoke Presidential Suites celebrates luxury, modernity and
speed – hallmarks of the rapidly developing environment it inhabits. The
project is swathed in momentum and scale; to me, the design had to evoke and
reflect its confidence instantly. That led us to envision the structure as a
timeless Art Deco landmark. It is a design movement that celebrates detail over
excess, and sophistication over ostentation.”

Platinum Stellar: Bespoke Presidential Suites features
spacious residences encompassing 2,500 sq. ft and upwards, extending to
expansive full-floor homes. The project will attract discerning buyers,
including HNIs, business owners, and legacy Bandra-Khar-Santacruz residents who
value design, privacy and refined living. Its boutique, design-led positioning
will resonate with individuals and families who view their home as an extension
of their identity, not just a purchase. Platinum Corp. has also been receiving
expressions of interest from investors who recognise the long-term value of
scarce, high-quality assets in prime micro-markets.

About Platinum Corp.

Platinum Corp. is a professionally managed, forward-looking
real estate development group anchored in Mumbai’s dynamic redevelopment
landscape. Recognized as one of the city’s most promising, location-driven
brands, the company is distinguished by its commitment to timely delivery,
thoughtful planning, and a deeply customer-centric philosophy. Platinum Corp.
goes beyond constructing buildings, to create living experiences that reflect
modern aspirations, urban sensibilities, and long-term value.

<title>Why Punawale is Pune’s Fastest Growing Residential Hub</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-punawale-is-punes-fastest-growing-residential-hub</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-punawale-is-punes-fastest-growing-residential-hub</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
Maharashtra : Pune’s real estate market continues to expand
at a remarkable pace, with emerging locations redefining urban living. Among
these, Punawale has quickly risen to prominence as one of the fastest-growing
residential hubs in the city. Backed by strong infrastructure, seamless
connectivity, and the presence of reputed developers like Siddhashila Group,
the locality is attracting both homebuyers and investors looking for long-term
value and lifestyle upgrades. Notably, Siddhashila Group, the makers of Eela,
brings its trusted legacy into this evolving micro-market, strengthening buyer
confidence from the very beginning.

Strategically located
near Hinjawadi, Pune’s largest IT hub, Punawale offers a clear advantage for
working professionals. The area ensures shorter commute times and better
work-life balance, which has become a key priority in modern homebuying
decisions. Its connectivity to the Mumbai Pune Expressway further enhances
accessibility, making travel across the city and beyond highly convenient. This
strategic positioning has significantly contributed to Punawale’s rapid
transformation into a preferred residential destination.

Adding to this growth
story is the launch of premium developments like Eevva by Siddhashila Group.
Positioned as a modern residential offering in Punawale, Eevva features
thoughtfully designed 2 and 3 BHK homes within elegantly planned towers. The
project comprises three high-rise towers with contemporary architecture and
spacious layouts that focus on comfort and functionality. Spread across a
well-planned layout, Eevva reflects the aspirations of today’s urban homebuyers
who seek a blend of design, convenience, and lifestyle amenities.

Interestingly, Eevva is
also recognized as the evolved vision of the well-known Eela development,
making it a significant milestone for Siddhashila Group. The group has already
established a strong presence in Punawale with projects that offer
well-designed homes supported by modern amenities and strategic location
advantages. Building on this legacy, Eevva represents a new phase of premium
living with enhanced design sensibilities and upgraded residential experiences.

Punawale’s growth is
also fueled by continuous infrastructure development. The area is witnessing
improved road networks, better civic amenities, and upcoming metro connectivity
that will further boost its accessibility. The presence of reputed schools,
healthcare centres, and retail hubs ensures that residents enjoy a well-rounded
lifestyle without needing to travel far. This holistic development is
transforming Punawale into a self-sustained residential ecosystem.

Another major factor
driving demand in Punawale is the changing mindset of homebuyers. Today’s
buyers are not just looking for a home but an enhanced lifestyle. Spacious
interiors, green surroundings, and community-focused living are becoming
essential requirements. Projects like Eevva cater to these expectations by
offering thoughtfully curated spaces that align with modern living standards.

From an investment
perspective, Punawale presents a strong opportunity. The steady appreciation in
property values, combined with increasing demand, makes it a promising choice
for long-term investments. The presence of reputed developers like Siddhashila
Group further strengthens buyer confidence, ensuring quality construction and
timely delivery. As the area continues to develop, the potential for higher
returns remains strong.

Moreover, Punawale
offers a rare balance between urban convenience and peaceful living. Unlike
crowded city centres, it provides a relatively calm environment with open
spaces and better air quality. This makes it an ideal choice for families,
professionals, and even investors seeking rental opportunities in a growing market.

Siddhashila Group&#039;s
contribution to this transformation cannot be overlooked. With a legacy of
delivering quality homes through projects like Eela and now introducing Eevva,
the developer continues to shape the residential landscape of Punawale. Their
focus on innovation, design, and customer satisfaction positions them as a
trusted name in Pune’s real estate sector.

As Pune expands
further, Punawale is set to play a crucial role in accommodating the city’s
evolving housing needs. With projects like Eevva leading the way, the locality
is not just growing but redefining modern living standards. For homebuyers and
investors looking to be part of Pune’s next big growth story, Punawale stands
out as a destination full of potential and promise.

living opportunities and learn more about Eevva, visit https://siddhashilaeevva.com/ and

<description><![CDATA[ Sonipat,
May 18, 2026 : In a step towards strengthening industry
integration in management education, Jindal Global Business School (JGBS) of
O.P. Jindal Global University, Sonipat, has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with Skyways Air Services Ltd., through its training arm
MyLogistics Gurukul. 

Skyways
Air Services, India&#039;s No. 1 and globally Top 50 Air Freight forwarder, offers
integrated first-to-last mile supply chain solutions across Air, Ocean, Road,
Express and Warehousing. JGBS is India’s top ranked private university-based
B-school as per the latest QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026. 

As
part of this partnership, the students of JGBS will get practical, hands-on
experience on India&#039;s growing logistics industry. This initiative also ties
perfectly into the Government of India&#039;s Skill India Mission, helping impart
young people the employable skills they need to make India a global talent hub.
The MoU provides JGBS students hands-on exposure through internships, facility
visits, industry sessions and certified modules from MyLogistics Gurukul,
bridging learning with real-world operations.

Professor
(Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor of O. P. Jindal Global University
(JGU), stated: “Over the past 17 years, JGU has
established itself as an unparalleled and pioneering institution, setting the
benchmark for global higher education in India. In our quest for academic
excellence, we have ensured that our students are exposed to a diverse and
inclusive learning environment with suitable exposure to industry. The business
school of the university, JGBS, is forging strategic partnerships with major
players in the industry. This helps create meaningful avenues for our
management students to understand and work on the opportunities and challenges
faced by the industry, helping them become employable and future-ready. As an
Institution of Eminence, JGU remains committed to contributing to national
growth by adding a skilled youth workforce to the national pool.”

Under
the terms of the MoU, JGBS students will gain access to Skyways&#039; operational
ecosystem through structured internships, facility visits to warehousing and
freight hubs, and industry-led sessions conducted by senior logistics
professionals from Skyways Air Services.

On
the occasion, Mr. Yashpal Sharma, CMD, Skyways Air Services stated:
&quot;We are delighted to partner with JGBS, who has been contributing
immensely to the academic world and bringing great talent to the Indian
workforce. We are looking to work with them and together nurture talent that
will propel Indian Logistics as the engine of economic vitality. Logistics is
fast-tracking global trade through e-commerce and quick commerce, thrusting
academic talent into logistics-ready professionals so India can compete
worldwide, create effective supply chain solutions, and be most
cost-competitive for Logistics. This alignment with JGBS will contribute hugely
to the national vision for a skilled and competitive India.&quot;

Key
areas of cooperation include knowledge partnership for courses offered in the
areas of supply chain, logistics and allied areas, industry guest lectures, and
research related collaboration between Skyways professionals and JGBS faculty
members.

JGBS
Dean Professor (Dr.) Mayank Dhaundiyal said:
&quot; I am thrilled about this industry partnership with the Skyways group.
Through this partnership, our students will get to experience the logistics
sector first-hand and work on real problem statements and actual challenges
that companies like Skyways are solving today. These activities complement well
the other pedagogical interventions we are doing inside the classroom including
simulations, case studies and experiential activities that help students with
the course and program learning objectives. As India&#039;s top-ranked private
university business school, we will keep pushing to ensure our students
graduate not just with a degree but with the skills and industry exposure that
make them industry-ready.&quot;

For
JGBS students, this partnership is about getting closer to how the industry
actually works. The business school students at O P Jindal Global University
will work on live problem statements along with professionals from the Skyways
Air Services Ltd., taking concepts like supply chain strategy and operations
management and optimization out of the classroom and into real business
settings. Beyond live projects and industry visits by students of JGBS, the
collaboration also brings Skyways experts to the JGU campus for industry guest
lectures thereby adding a layer of practical insight that textbooks alone
cannot provide.

<title>UPSC Prelims 2026 Last&#45;Minute Preparation Tips: NEXT IAS CMD B. Singh Shares Expert Exam&#45;Day Strategy</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/upsc-prelims-2026-last-minute-preparation-tips-next-ias-cmd-b-singh-shares-expert-exam-day-strategy</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/upsc-prelims-2026-last-minute-preparation-tips-next-ias-cmd-b-singh-shares-expert-exam-day-strategy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, May 2026 :
With the UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination 2026 scheduled for Sunday,
May 24, 2026, lakhs of aspirants across India are entering the most crucial
phase of their preparation. As the countdown begins, experts advise students to
focus on smart revision, disciplined execution, and calm decision-making rather
than attempting entirely new topics at the last minute.

In the latest
development, the UPSC Prelims 2026 admit cards have been released for
download, and candidates can access them through the official UPSC online
portal at https://upsconline.nic.in/.
Aspirants are advised to download their admit cards immediately, verify their
details, check exam centre information carefully, and read all instructions
thoroughly to avoid any last-minute complications.

The UPSC Prelims
2026 examination will be conducted in two shifts — General Studies Paper
I from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM and CSAT (Paper II) from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM.
For lakhs of civil services aspirants, these final hours can significantly
influence performance.

According to B.
Singh, CMD, NEXT IAS, success in UPSC
depends not only on knowledge but equally on temperament, strategy, and
disciplined execution.

“UPSC Prelims success
depends not only on preparation but also on calm decision-making, confidence,
and disciplined execution inside the examination hall. The final 24 hours
should be about clarity—not panic,” said B. Singh, CMD,
NEXT IAS.

UPSC Prelims 2026 Exam
Timing and Important Details

Candidates appearing
for the UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination 2026 should keep the
examination schedule clearly in mind. General Studies Paper I will be
held in the morning session from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM, while CSAT
(Paper II) will be conducted from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM.

Aspirants are strongly
advised to reach their examination centres well in advance, as entry gates
close before the commencement of the examination, and delays may lead to
unnecessary stress or disqualification from entry.

UPSC Prelims 2026
Last-Minute Preparation Tips

Revise Notes, Avoid New
Topics

One of the most common
mistakes candidates make before the UPSC examination is attempting to study
entirely new material in the final hours. 

Experts advise
aspirants to focus only on their personal revision notes, short summaries, mind
maps, important factual areas, and previously studied concepts.

Starting unfamiliar
topics at this stage often increases anxiety, reduces confidence, and creates
confusion instead of improving preparation.

Organize UPSC Exam
Essentials in Advance

Candidates should
prepare all required materials at least a day before the examination to avoid
unnecessary stress on exam morning.

Essential items include
the UPSC admit card, valid photo identity proof, black ballpoint pen for OMR
marking, a simple analog wristwatch, transparent water bottle, and any other
permitted materials.

Carefully reading all
instructions mentioned on the admit card is equally important.

Verify the Exam Centre
Location

Aspirants should visit
or verify the location of their examination centre in advance to avoid delays
caused by traffic, unfamiliar routes, or confusion regarding directions.

This simple precaution can
significantly reduce exam-day anxiety and help candidates arrive in a composed
frame of mind.

UPSC Exam Day
Guidelines: What Candidates Must Remember

Candidates should aim
to reach the examination centre at least 45 to 60 minutes before reporting
time. Wearing simple, comfortable clothing is advisable, as heavy
accessories or complicated attire may delay security checks.

UPSC guidelines
strictly prohibit candidates from carrying mobile phones, smartwatches,
Bluetooth devices, calculators, or other electronic gadgets into the
examination hall. Following these instructions carefully is essential to avoid
complications.

Mental and Physical
Readiness Before UPSC Prelims

Performance in
competitive examinations is influenced not only by preparation but also by
physical and mental readiness. Experts recommend that candidates get at least seven
to eight hours of sleep before the examination, consume light and
nutritious meals, stay hydrated, and avoid oily or heavy foods that may cause
discomfort. Stress management is equally important. Simple breathing exercises,
meditation, or a short walk can help improve concentration and emotional
balance before the examination.

UPSC Prelims 2026 Exam
Strategy: Accuracy Over Guesswork

Negative marking makes
reckless guessing a risky approach in UPSC Prelims.

Candidates should focus
on answering questions they can approach with reasonable confidence rather than
attempting aggressive guessing under pressure. Maintaining a steady pace,
staying calm, and making measured decisions often improves scores more
effectively than emotional over-attempting.

Intelligent Elimination
Strategy for UPSC Prelims MCQs

Since the UPSC
Preliminary Examination follows a multiple-choice question format,
experts recommend that aspirants use the strategy of intelligent elimination
wherever appropriate.

When candidates are
uncertain about the correct answer, eliminating clearly incorrect options based
on logic, conceptual clarity, or contextual clues can significantly improve the
probability of selecting the right response.

However, experts
caution that intelligent elimination should be used as a strategic academic
skill rather than blind guesswork, especially because negative marking can
reduce overall scores.

Common OMR Sheet
Mistakes to Avoid in UPSC Prelims

Incorrect OMR marking
remains one of the most avoidable reasons for score loss in the UPSC
Preliminary Examination.

Candidates should
carefully match question numbers, mark responses neatly and accurately using a
black ballpoint pen, and reserve the final 10 to 15 minutes for
reviewing OMR entries.

Even well-prepared
candidates can lose marks through avoidable clerical errors.

UPSC CSAT Strategy
2026: Do Not Take Paper II Lightly

Although CSAT is
qualifying in nature, experts continue to caution aspirants against
underestimating it.

Several candidates in
previous years have faced setbacks due to overconfidence regarding Paper II. A
practical strategy would be to solve easier questions first, secure qualifying
marks comfortably, and avoid spending excessive time on difficult sections.

Common Mistakes to
Avoid One Day Before UPSC Prelims

Candidates should avoid
common last-minute mistakes such as comparing preparation levels with peers,
engaging in stressful discussions around expected cut-offs, solving excessive
mock tests, staying awake late into the night, or attempting entirely new
topics.

The final day should
focus on consolidation, confidence-building, and mental composure rather than
information overload.

Expert Message from
NEXT IAS CMD B. Singh

Sharing his message for
aspirants, B. Singh, CMD, NEXT IAS,
said:

“The Civil Services
Examination is not merely a test of information recall. It is equally a test of
patience, emotional control, decision-making, and strategic execution. Trust
your preparation and remain mentally composed.”

Final Word

As lakhs of aspirants
prepare for UPSC Prelims 2026, experts emphasize that success depends
not just on months of preparation, but also on calm execution in the final
hours.

With disciplined
revision, strategic time management, intelligent question selection, and a
composed mindset, aspirants can maximize their chances of clearing the first
stage of India’s most prestigious examination.

NEXT IAS
extends its best wishes to all candidates appearing for the UPSC Civil Services
Preliminary Examination 2026.

<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/arpita-chowdhury-crowned-indias-universal-woman-set-to-represent-the-nation-on-the-international-stage</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/arpita-chowdhury-crowned-indias-universal-woman-set-to-represent-the-nation-on-the-international-stage</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ MUMBAI, INDIA :  In a moment that celebrates ambition,
individuality, and the relentless spirit of modern womanhood, Arpita
Chowdhury has been officially announced as India’s representative for Universal
Woman, a premier international platform celebrating women of influence,
purpose, and impact.

A Journey Forged in Grit

The announcement marks a significant milestone in a
journey built on far more than just grace. For Arpita, this path began in the
quiet landscapes of small-town India, where the seeds of her ambition were
first sown. Her rise to the national spotlight was not a stroke of luck, but a
hard-fought battle; having struggled since her teenage years,  every achievement has been earned through
unwavering perseverance and a refusal to be defined by her circumstances.

As she prepares to represent India, Arpita steps
into a role that goes beyond titles, embodying the aspirations of self-made
women who redefine success through authenticity and grit.

From Elite Stages to Global Frontiers

Today, based in Kolkata, Arpita stands as one of the leading
emcees in India’s live experiential industry. A seasoned globe-traveller,
she has spent years commanding stages across the world, turning her voice into
a tool for connection and leadership. Her evolution continues as a budding
entrepreneur, currently building her venture, Latitude 24—proving
that she is as much a strategist as she is a storyteller.

Her selection is a celebration of the changing face of
global representation, where personal history and professional substance take
center stage.

“Arpita’s journey is deeply moving because it reflects
true resilience,” said Mohini Sharma, National Director of Mrs. India Inc.
“From her early days in small towns to her struggle through her teens, she has
shown the courage to dream bigger at every turn. She represents the strength of
today’s Indian women who are ready to make a mark globally while staying rooted
in their values. We are proud to have her represent India.”

A New Chapter of Influence

The announcement highlights the growing global presence of
Indian leaders who have become voices of confidence and cultural
representation. As preparations begin, Arpita is set to showcase India’s
spirit, diversity, and professional elegance on a platform that honors women
making a meaningful impact beyond borders.

Expressing her gratitude, Arpita Chowdhury shared:

&quot;Representing India at Universal Woman is both an
honor and a profound responsibility. My journey—from the struggles of my youth
to the stages of the world—has taught me that success is built through
consistency and the courage to pursue aspirations fearlessly. I look forward to

<title>HR Expert Arghya Sarkar Expects Strong Growth in West Bengal Job Market Under New State Government</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/hr-expert-arghya-sarkar-expects-strong-growth-in-west-bengal-job-market-under-new-state-government</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/hr-expert-arghya-sarkar-expects-strong-growth-in-west-bengal-job-market-under-new-state-government</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Kolkata : West Bengal’s
job market could witness a significant growth phase during 2026–27 under the
newly formed state government, according to HR expert and Recruitment Mantra
Founder Arghya Sarkar. In a recent interaction, Sarkar shared his views on how
policy direction, administrative reforms, industrial confidence, and
infrastructure development may positively influence employment generation
across the state.

According to Sarkar,
sectors such as IT, manufacturing, infrastructure, healthcare, logistics,
digital services, and startups are expected to see major hiring growth over the
next two years.

“The overall market
sentiment appears more optimistic after the formation of the new government.
Whenever industries and investors see stability, faster decision-making, and a
growth-oriented administration, hiring activities automatically increase,”
Sarkar said during the interview.

He further explained
that industrialists and business houses generally prioritize factors such as
law and order, policy transparency, administrative efficiency, and ease of
doing business before making long-term investments in any state.

“In today’s competitive
economic environment, investors look for stable governance, smooth business
operations, transparent systems, and strong accountability. If the government
continues focusing on improving administrative efficiency and maintaining a
strict stance against corruption, it can naturally attract more industrial
investments into West Bengal,” Sarkar observed.

According to him,
increased investments from corporate groups and manufacturing companies could
create large-scale direct and indirect employment opportunities across Kolkata,
Howrah, Durgapur, Haldia, Siliguri, Kharagpur, and Dankuni.

Sarkar also believes
Kolkata’s Salt Lake Sector V and New Town are steadily emerging as major
technology and startup destinations in Eastern India. He expects strong demand
for professionals in AI, Cloud Computing, Full Stack Development, Data Analytics,
Cybersecurity, Digital Marketing, and BPO operations.

“West Bengal already
has a strong talent pool and comparatively lower operational costs than many
metro cities. If policy execution remains industry-friendly, many companies may
consider expanding operations here in the coming years,” he added.

Discussing changing
work trends, Sarkar highlighted that remote and hybrid work culture is creating
opportunities for candidates from smaller towns and districts across the state.
He noted that digital hiring models are helping companies recruit skilled
professionals without geographical limitations.

He also emphasized the
importance of skill-based recruitment in the modern employment ecosystem.
“Companies today are focusing less on degrees alone and more on practical
skills, communication ability, AI adaptability, and professional mindset.
Candidates who continuously upgrade themselves will have a clear advantage in
the future job market,” Sarkar said.

Arghya Sarkar is the
Founder of Recruitment Mantra, a leading Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)
firm and free job placement consultancy based in Kolkata. He is also known as a
TEDx Speaker, Author of ‘Recruitopia’, HR &amp; AI Hiring Specialist, Ethical
Hiring Specialist, Public Figure, and Influencer.

Employment analysts
believe that if industrial investments, infrastructure development, startup
growth, and governance reforms continue positively, West Bengal could emerge as
one of Eastern India’s fastest-growing employment markets during 2026–27.

<title>SHAKIRA AND BURNA BOY RELEASE  &amp;apos;DAI DAI,&amp;apos; THE OFFICIAL SONG OF  THE FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 LINKED TO THE FIFA GLOBAL CITIZEN EDUCATION FUND</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/shakira-and-burna-boy-release-dai-dai-the-official-song-of-the-fifa-world-cup-2026-linked-to-the-fifa-global-citizen-education-fund</link>

<description><![CDATA[ SHAKIRA
TO CO-HEADLINE THE FIFA WORLD CUP 2026™ FINAL HALFTIME SHOW

Miami,
FL : Today, GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY®
Award-winning artist Shakira and Burna Boy have released new
track “Dai Dai” via Sony Music Latin. Listen HERE

Shakira
will co-headline the FIFA World Cup 2026™Final Halftime Show on Sunday, July
19, alongside Madonna and BTS. For the first time in FIFA World Cup™ history,
the final will feature a halftime show, bringing together global artists for a
singular moment at the intersection of sport, culture, and purpose, to support
the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.

As
announced today at Global Citizen NOW in New York, &#039;Dai Dai&#039; will be the
official anthem of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise
USD $100 million by end of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ to provide children around
the world with access to quality education and sports. Shakira is partnering
with Global Citizen and FIFA to provide access to education for children in
underserved communities with Shakira’s royalties from &#039;Dai Dai&#039; being donated
to the Education Fund, and Sony Music will match the first $250,000 raised with
a donation. Additionally, Shakira is donating $1 from every ticket sold to her
upcoming &#039;Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran&#039; tour to the Education Fund.

“The World Cup is one
of the few things the entire world experiences together,” said Burna Boy.
“Football and music speak the same language. They bring people together no
matter where you’re from and being part of this moment through music means a
lot to me.” 

This
summer, Shakira will hit the road for a special limited run of U.S. dates on
her record-breaking Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, giving
fans a rare chance to

see
her electrifying production up close in more intimate arena settings this
summer. Tickets are available at shakira.com. In October, Shakira will headline a 11 night stadium European
residency based in Madrid, with a stadium named ‘Shakira Stadium’ being built
especially for her, and has already sold more than half a million tickets.

In
early May, Shakira captivated an audience of more than 2 million fans at
Copacabana Beach for this year’s Todo Mundo No Rio concert. Shakira, in
a triumphant return to Brazil, where she first began her international touring
career, addressed the crowd in Portuguese throughout the concert and played an
electrifying set filled with her greatest hits spanning her entire career
including “Hips Don’t Lie,” “La Tortura,” and “La Bicicleta.” Shakira’s
historic show paid homage to Brazil as she brought out special guests,
including Anitta, for the debut performance of their new single “Choka Choka,”
“O Leãozinho” with Caetano Veloso, “O Que É, O Que É” with Maria Bethânia and
Unidos da Tijuca, “Waka Waka” with dance group Mare Dance, “Objection” with
Unidos da Tijuca and “País Tropical” with Ivete Sangalo.

Known
as being “the largest concert in the world,” Todo Mundo No Rio is a landmark
event for Rio de Janeiro, celebrating music, culture, and community, for a
completely free price tag. This dazzling spectacle shattered records, becoming
one of the highest attended concerts of all time with 2 million plus people
there to witness this historic moment. Shakira’s performance also broke the
record, generating a large financial impact for the local economy, with a projected
800 million in economic benefits, including a 123% increase in travel bookings

Most
recently, Zara Larsson tapped Shakira to collaborate with her on “Eurosummer”
featured on the deluxe edition of her album Midnight Sun: Girls Trip.

On
top of this, Shakira was crowned by Billboard this year as having
the “highest-grossing Hispanic tour of all time” with her recent Las Mujeres Ya
No Lloran World Tour, achieving a gross revenue of $421.6 million, inclusive of
82 stadium shows all across the US and Latin America with over 3.3 million
people in attendance.

For Burna Boy, the collaboration marks another
defining global moment in a career that continues to bridge music, sport, and
culture on an unprecedented scale. Widely recognised as one of the most influential
African artists of his generation, Burna Boy has become synonymous with
stadium-level performance, global musical fusion, and the international rise of
African music and culture. From headlining arenas and stadiums across the world
to performing at the NBA All-Star Game and building major partnerships at the
intersection of music and sport, Burna Boy continues to redefine what global
African artistry looks like at the highest level. Burna Boy is currently in the
midst of an expansive international run that continues to cement his position
as one of the world’s leading live performers and cultural voices.

<title>BAYARD VACATIONS UNVEILS INDIA’S FIRST FULL&#45;LOOP AI&#45;POWERED PREMIUM TRAVEL TECH PLATFORM</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/bayard-vacations-unveils-indias-first-full-loop-ai-powered-premium-travel-tech-platform</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/bayard-vacations-unveils-indias-first-full-loop-ai-powered-premium-travel-tech-platform</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, 16 May 2026 : Bayard Vacations, headquartered in Nandini Layout, Bengaluru, today formally
announced its brand positioning as India’s first full-loop AI-powered premium
travel tech platform — a milestone that reframes the company’s identity from a
Bengaluru tour operator to a nationally scaled, technology-led travel company
operating at the frontier of artificial intelligence and personalised human
service.

The announcement marks a defining moment in
India’s travel industry: an Indian-built travel company designing and rolling
out a proprietary AI stack covering the entire customer journey — from first
inquiry to post-trip review — without sacrificing the human depth that premium
travel demands. Three core AI products are already live and serving travellers;
two further modules and the company’s public Book Now experience are in
final-stage development and entering public release in the coming weeks.

With over 25,000 travellers served, a 4.8-star
average customer rating, access to 100+ destinations, and 500+
curated travel packages, Bayard Vacations has built a strong reputation for
delivering personalised and seamless travel experiences at scale.

The Founder’s Vision:
Technology and Human Care as One Promise

At the heart of Bayard Vacations’ identity is
its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Chethan Kumar NP, whose
founding philosophy is both simple and disruptive: the best travel experience
is not one where artificial intelligence replaces the human touch — it is one
where AI makes human expertise extraordinary.

Chethan Kumar NP built Bayard Vacations around
the conviction that India’s travel industry was leaving its most valuable
customers underserved — not because of a lack of talent, but because of a lack
of infrastructure that could scale personalisation without sacrificing warmth.
His answer was a ground-up proprietary AI ecosystem, designed so that every
client receives a response that feels individually crafted, not algorithmically
generated.

“Indian travellers are
no longer willing to choose between speed and depth. They want an itinerary
built precisely for them — and they want to know there is a real expert on the
other end who genuinely understands what matters. At Bayard, AI does not
replace our people. It makes them extraordinary. That is not a feature. That is
our entire philosophy.”

— CHETHAN KUMAR NP |
FOUNDER &amp; CEO, BAYARD VACATIONS

“Most operators are forced to choose a lane,”
Chethan Kumar NP has noted. “Either they go fully digital and lose the human
connection that makes travel meaningful, or they stay relationship-driven and
can’t scale. We refused that trade-off from day one. The entire architecture of
Bayard is built to hold both — simultaneously, without compromise.”

This refusal to compromise is the defining
thread running through every product, every client interaction, and every
operational decision at Bayard Vacations. It is, in Chethan Kumar NP’s words, “not
a positioning exercise — it is the only way we know how to build.”

India’s First Full-Loop
AI Travel Ecosystem: Five Integrated Products

Bayard Vacations operates what it defines as
the Full-Loop AI Ecosystem — a proprietary suite of five integrated
technology products covering every stage of the travel customer journey. Three
products are currently live in production; two further modules are in
final-stage development and entering public release imminently.

1. AI
ITINERARY HUB — PERSONALISED TRAVEL PLANS IN 60 SECONDS (Live)

Bayard’s signature product generates fully
customised, beautifully formatted travel itineraries within 60 seconds of a
traveller entering their preferences — complete with day-by-day breakdowns,
hotel options across star categories, transparent pricing tables, and
downloadable PDFs. A lead converts to a buyer the moment they see a plan built
specifically for them.

2. BAYARD
BUDDY — 24/7 AI CHATBOT FOR INSTANT TRAVEL QUERIES (Live)

Embedded across the Bayard platform and
website, Bayard Buddy answers package queries, checks availability, captures
traveller preferences, and qualifies leads around the clock — escalating to a
human expert only when the conversation requires it. For Gen Z travellers,
Buddy is the entry point. For the sales team, it is the first-line qualifier
that makes every human conversation more productive.

3. CRM
INTELLIGENCE LAYER — ZERO LEADS, ZERO CONTEXT LOST (Live)

The operating backbone of Bayard Vacations.
Every lead is captured, every client interaction is logged, and every follow-up
is contextually rich. No client falls through. No conversation starts cold.

4. BAYARD
VOICE — AI VOICE AGENT FOR SEAMLESS FOLLOW-UP (Launching Soon)

Bayard Voice, the company’s proprietary AI
voice agent, is currently in final-stage development and will enter public
release in the coming weeks. Powered by advanced voice AI, the module is built
to manage outbound pre-sales follow-up, lead nurturing, and post-booking
support at scale — freeing human travel experts to focus entirely on high-value
consultation and relationship building.

5. BAYARD
APP — THE SELF-SERVE TRAVEL COMMAND CENTRE (Launching in 1–2 Months)

The Bayard App, the client-facing mobile
experience, is in final build and scheduled for public launch within the next
one to two months. The app will enable self-serve package browsing, AI
itinerary customisation, booking progress tracking, and real-time support
access for travellers who want speed and control.

New: Public Book Now
Rollout — Three Booking Paths on One Platform

In line with the upcoming app launch, Bayard
Vacations will shortly open its Book Now experience to public access,
giving travellers a choice between three booking paths on the same platform —
designed to serve every kind of traveller, from the AI-native self-planner to
the traveller who wants the comfort of a curated, ready-to-book package.

1.    
AI-Driven Itinerary Booking
— Travellers receive a fully personalised itinerary in 60 seconds via the AI
Itinerary Hub and can book directly from the generated plan.

2.    
Traditional Book Now —
One-click booking on Bayard’s 500+ curated, expert-built packages, for
travellers who want a faster, more conventional path.

3.    
DIY Customisation —
Build-your-own journey, where travellers configure destinations, durations,
hotel tiers, and inclusions before confirming.

This three-path approach is a deliberate
design decision: rather than forcing every traveller into a single funnel,
Bayard’s platform meets them where they are.

The Full-Loop Promise —
From First Enquiry to Final Memory

Bayard Vacations is building an end-to-end
AI-enabled travel ecosystem that streamlines the entire customer journey —
AI-powered lead qualification and expert-assisted sales, intelligent itinerary
creation, booking support, pre-travel assistance, on-ground operations, in-trip
concierge services, review capture, and automated customer re-engagement. With
three products live and two more launching imminently, the full loop will be
operational end-to-end within the coming weeks.

Riding India’s Most
Powerful Travel Technology Wave

Bayard Vacations’ positioning arrives at a
defining inflection point for global travel technology. The AI-driven travel
experience personalisation market — growing at a CAGR of 21.8% — is projected
to expand from USD 2.74 billion in 2024 to USD 16.23 billion by 2033. Online
travel platforms leveraging AI for hyper-personalised experiences are growing
at the fastest rate in the industry, at a CAGR of 24.32% through 2032.

India’s domestic travel market is experiencing
a parallel surge, with Gen Z’s global purchasing power expected to reach $12
trillion by 2030 and over 85% of Gen Z travellers actively seeking personalised
travel offers. Bayard Vacations’ dual-audience platform serves both Gen Z
Explorers who want AI-crafted speed and self-serve control, and Millennial
Experience Seekers who demand premium depth and end-to-end handling —
capturing both on one platform, without compromise.

How Bayard Vacations
Stands Apart From Every Competitor

Bayard Vacations occupies a defensible
position that no single competitor currently matches. The competitive moat is
not any one product — it is the integrated full-loop AI ecosystem running on
top of proven Indian ground operations.

Bayard Vacations positions itself at the
intersection of technology and personalised travel by combining a
phased-rollout AI-powered travel ecosystem with expert human support. Unlike
traditional tour operators and large OTAs, the company delivers faster,
smarter, and highly customised travel planning while retaining a dedicated
human touch for complex itineraries. Its India-rooted operational strength
further differentiates it from international AI travel platforms, enabling
seamless on-ground execution alongside premium, concierge-style experiences
delivered at scale.

<title>HOAG and BITS BioCyTiH Foundation Launch Applied AI Program for Students Aged 12 to 17</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/hoag-and-bits-biocytih-foundation-launch-applied-ai-program-for-students-aged-12-to-17</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/hoag-and-bits-biocytih-foundation-launch-applied-ai-program-for-students-aged-12-to-17</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

India,
16th May, 2026: HOAG, in collaboration with BITS BioCyTiH
Foundation (BBF), the deep-tech and innovation initiative of BITS Pilani, has
announced the launch of the Certificate Program in Applied Artificial
Intelligence, a fully online, three-month immersive program designed for
students aged 12 to 17. This online program falls under HOAG’s Future
Essentials category which focuses on future-forward critical competencies for
young learners.

Despite
growing awareness around AI, structured and application-driven learning opportunities
for school students remain limited to basic theory and simplified exposure that
yield no real outcome. Students rarely gain access to environments that
introduce them to the architectures, workflows, systems thinking, and
real-world applications that power modern Artificial Intelligence today.

HOAG
and BITS BioCyTiH Foundation developed the program to bridge this gap through a
rigorous and future-facing learning model that mirrors the way AI increasingly
operates across universities, innovation ecosystems, startups, and professional
environments. The curriculum enables students to understand the fundamentals of
machine learning, train and evaluate models, and build practical AI solutions
through hands-on learning experiences and contemporary no-code and low-code
platforms.

The
Applied AI program launches a transformative 50-hour curriculum designed
to evolve teenagers from AI consumers into active creators through a
structured framework. The journey begins with basics of how machines see and
learn, progresses into generative AI and intelligent automation , and
culminates in a Capstone Incubator where they turn their own ideas into working
prototypes. Our unique pedagogy emphasizes &quot;hand-holding&quot; over
passive assistance wherein expert mentors facilitate breakout rooms to
guide students as they independently construct their own models, prompts, and
workflows. This immersive environment blends collaborative design thinking with
innovative brainstorming, empowering students and faculty to transform conceptual
ideas into tech prototypes for a final professional showcase.

This
online program positions AI as a multidisciplinary field that intersects with
creativity, communication, ethics, design thinking, entrepreneurship, systems
analysis, and decision-making. Students will engage with concepts and workflows
that typically remain inaccessible at the school level, including intelligent
automation systems, generative media creation, AI-assisted workflows, prompt
structuring, model behavior, responsible deployment, and human-centered
innovation.

Adetya
VN Chopra, Founder of HOAG, said: “Young learners today are capable thinkers
and builders and not passive recipients of simplified technological education.
They interact with Artificial Intelligence constantly, but very few get the
opportunity to understand how these systems actually function, how they
influence industries, or how they can be applied creatively and responsibly. We
designed this program to create a level of depth, structure, and practical
engagement that students in this age group rarely encounter. The objective is
to expose learners to the realities of modern AI systems through serious,
application-oriented learning that encourages experimentation, independent
thinking, and innovation.”

Dr.
Anil Wali, CEO of BITS BioCyTiH Foundation, said: “Artificial Intelligence will
shape the future academic, professional, and entrepreneurial journeys of
today’s students across disciplines and industries. Meaningful exposure to AI
at an early stage requires far more than theoretical awareness. Students must
engage with systems, experimentation, application, and responsible innovation
in structured ways. This program creates an intellectually engaging environment
where learners can explore how modern AI technologies operate and how they can
contribute thoughtfully to a rapidly evolving world.”

The
inaugural cohort of the program will commence on August 1st, 2026. Applications
for the program will open in mid-June 2026.

National, 15 May 2026 : Canon India, a leader in digital imaging
solutions, today announced the launch of the imageFORCE C3150, a
high-performance A3 colour multifunction device purpose-built for enterprises,
SMEs, government organisations and copy shop owners. Offering high-speed colour
output of up to 50 pages per minute, the imageFORCE C3150 delivers consistent
quality, reliability and media flexibility to support demanding, high-volume
print environments. Through this launch, Canon aims to expand its footprint
across key verticals and new markets, drive incremental market share, and build
on its No.1 position in the laser copier market for 10 consecutive years.

Further strengthening its document digitisation portfolio,
Canon India also launched the imageFORMULA DR-C340 and DR-C350 ultra-compact
high-speed document scanners. Designed for fast, accurate and reliable capture,
the scanners enable enterprises, SMEs and government organisations to
efficiently digitise high volumes of documents and streamline information
workflows. With seamless system integration and advanced image processing, the
DR-C340/DR-C350 support faster decision-making and enterprise-wide digital
transformation.

Speaking on the launch,
Mr. Toshiaki Nomura, President &amp; CEO, Canon India, said, “At

portfolio to stay ahead of the evolving needs of enterprises, institutions and
businesses across India. The launch of the imageFORCE C3150 A3 colour MFD

accelerating document digitisation and information workflows. Together, these
solutions reflect our future-ready approach to driving productivity, expanding
our presence across key verticals and strengthening our market share in India’s
laser copier segment.”

Sharing his views on
the new launches, Mr. C. Sukumaran, Vice President, Canon India, said, “In
India’s highly competitive business and commercial print environment, colour
quality, speed and consistency directly influence customer trust and long-term
growth. The imageFORCE C3150 has been developed with a deep understanding of
these market realities, enabling enterprises, SMEs and commercial print
customers to deliver reliable, high-quality colour output across everyday jobs
while expanding their application capabilities.”

He further added, “Complementing
this, the imageFORMULA DR-C340 and DR-C350 scanners address the accelerating
demand for document digitisation across government, enterprise and SME
segments. Together, these solutions help organisations streamline document
workflows, improve operational efficiency and build scalable, future-ready
information environments aligned with India’s digital transformation journey.”

imageFORCE
C3150: Key Features and Capabilities

Smarter Colour Printing
with D² Exposure Technology

A key differentiator of
the imageFORCE C3150 is Canon’s D² Exposure (Defined &amp; Detailed)
Technology, which uses an advanced OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode)
exposure system instead of conventional laser technology.

●       
Extreme resolution for professional output: The
OLED-based exposure system delivers a class-leading resolution of up to 4,800
× 2,400 dpi, producing sharper text, smoother gradations, and finely
detailed lines.

●       
Reliable and consistent colour reproduction: Precise
alignment of CMYK layers minimises colour variation, ensuring deep blacks,
vibrant tones, and stable colour output across repeat jobs.

Media Versatility for
Expanded Print Applications

The imageFORCE C3150 is
designed to maintain colour integrity across a range of professional media
types.

●       
Support for heavy and coated stocks: Handles
paper weights of up to 300 gsm, enabling in-house production of premium
brochures, flyers and promotional materials.

●       
SRA3 support: Enables
printing on SRA3 sheet sizes, allowing full-bleed A3 output with crop
marks—an important requirement for commercial print businesses.

High-Speed Colour
Scanning for End-to-End Workflows

The imageFORCE C3150
also supports high-performance scanning to address integrated document
workflows.

●       
Single-pass duplex scanning: Capable
of scanning at speeds of up to 270 images per minute, enabling fast
digitisation without compromising clarity.

●       
High-fidelity colour capture: Maintains
accurate colour reproduction even during high-volume scanning.

imageFORMULA
DR-C340 &amp; DR-C350: Key Features and Capabilities

Further strengthening
Canon India’s business imaging ecosystem, the imageFORMULA DR-C340 and
DR-C350 document scanners are designed to support fast, accurate, and
space-efficient document digitisation.

●       
High-speed scanning for improved productivity:
The DR-C340 delivers scanning speeds of up to 40 pages per minute and
80 images per minute, while the DR-C350 offers up to 50 pages per minute and
100 images per minute, supported by a 100-sheet automatic document feeder. This
enables organisations to handle higher document volumes efficiently, addressing
productivity requirements in enterprise and government environments.

●       
Flexible document handling across sectors: The
scanners support a wide range of document types including receipts, ID cards,
passports and long documents, making them suitable for use across sectors such
as government, financial services, healthcare, hospitality and education, where
document diversity and accuracy are critical.

●       
Compact design for space-constrained environments:
Built with a compact footprint, the scanners are designed for small
offices, branch locations and front-office environments. With intuitive
controls and advanced image processing capabilities, they ensure ease of use
while delivering clear and accurate scans.

Together, these
additions reinforce Canon India’s focus on expanding its business imaging
portfolio and addressing evolving customer needs across segments. By combining
high-quality output, media flexibility and efficient digitisation, Canon aims
to enable businesses to improve productivity, expand capabilities and drive
growth.

<title>G Square Group officially hands over 19.43 acres of land in Coimbatore to the TTD Board for the proposed temple project</title>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/g-square-group-officially-hands-over-1943-acres-of-land-in-coimbatore-to-the-ttd-board-for-the-proposed-temple-project</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Coimbatore,
15th May 2026 : In a significant development for devotees in
Tamil Nadu, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Trust Board officials today
(14th May 2026) received the land handover documents from G Square Group at G
Square Seven Hills City in Kovaipudur, Coimbatore, marking a major milestone in
the establishment of a proposed temple project in the region.

This
follows the TTD Board&#039;s recent approval of the acquisition of 19.43 acres of
land, valued at ₹388 crore, generously donated by G Square Group for the
construction of the new temple in Coimbatore. The resolution was passed during
a Board meeting convened at Annamayya Bhavan, Tirumala, under the chairmanship
of Sri B.R. Naidu. With the land handover now completed, the property will
officially become part of the Board’s assets, and work related to planning and
developing the temple project is expected to begin soon.

The
proposed temple is expected to emerge as one of the most significant spiritual
landmarks in western Tamil Nadu, strengthening Coimbatore’s position as a growing
spiritual and cultural destination. For lakhs of devotees across Coimbatore,
Tiruppur, Erode, Nilgiris and neighbouring districts, the development is seen
as a moment of immense devotional and emotional significance. 



Over
the years, Coimbatore has steadily evolved into a city that blends industrial
growth with spirituality and wellness. Known for iconic spiritual destinations
such as Isha Yoga Center, Marudamalai Murugan Temple, Perur Pateeswarar Temple
and Adiyogi, the city continues to attract pilgrims, tourists, seekers and
international visitors throughout the year. The addition of a proposed TTD
temple is expected to further enhance the city’s spiritual ecosystem and
reinforce its reputation as a prominent pilgrimage hub in South India.

Industry
observers believe the project could also create a strong ripple effect across
tourism, hospitality, infrastructure and local commerce in the region.
Large-scale temple developments often contribute to increased visitor footfall,
improved connectivity, rise in small businesses, employment generation and the
growth of supporting sectors such as hotels, restaurants, retail outlets and
transport services.

Experts
point out that spiritual tourism has become one of India’s fastest-growing
travel segments, with temple towns witnessing consistent growth in both
domestic and international visitors. In Tamil Nadu particularly, cities with
strong spiritual and cultural identities continue to attract investments,
infrastructure upgrades and commercial activity driven by sustained pilgrim
movement.

With
the handover formalities now completed, anticipation is steadily building
around the next phase of the project, which is expected to include planning,
design and development activities in the coming months. ]]></description>

<title>Leading through uncertainty: How UWA’s global MBA along with IIMK Certificate is helping managers navigate today&amp;apos;s dynamic business landscape</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

According to a 2025
report on the State of AI by McKinsey, nearly 88% of organisations are
investing and reporting active AI use cases in at least one business function,
yet very few are seeing meaningful business impact. The gap isn’t in access to
technology. It’s in how professionals think, decide, and lead. For early and
mid-career professionals, this shift is already visible. Roles are expanding
faster than skills, and expectations are moving beyond execution into strategy,
judgement, and cross-functional thinking. Leadership is no longer something you
grow into overtime. It’s something you need to actively build. This is where
global MBA programs are becoming increasingly relevant, offering a structured
way to develop the strategic outlook needed to stay ahead.

The
University of Western Australia’s (UWA) global MBA, delivered with
IIM Kozhikode certification, is built around this reality.
Designed for working professionals, it allows you to step back without stepping
away from your career. The program combines global academic rigour with
practical insight drawn from real business situations. Instead of focusing on
theory alone, it helps you understand how decisions are made in environments
shaped by data, AI, and global markets. The learning is designed to fit into
your work, so what you gain can be applied immediately, not later. For
professionals in the early stages of their career, the program helps build
strong business fundamentals and a global perspective that would otherwise take
years to develop. For mid-career professionals, often at a transition point, it
sharpens strategic thinking and strengthens their ability to take on leadership
responsibilities. Many find that it helps them move from being functional
experts to broader business leaders, with opportunities that extend beyond
their current scope.

What does the learning
journey look like?

Learners begin with a
Professional Certification in Advanced Business Management from IIM Kozhikode,
building strong foundations in strategy, leadership, and managerial
decision-making. 

Upon successful
completion, the learning experience progresses to the global MBA offered by UWA, where this foundation is
extended into a truly international context. UWA’s global MBA broadens
perspective through strategy, leadership, and decision-making frameworks,
enabling learners to operate confidently across markets, cultures, and complex
global organisations.

Global credibility you
can trust

The program’s track record adds to its credibility. With 13
cohorts consisting of more than
1,800 participants across industries and regions, it reflects sustained demand
from working
professionals. UWA is ranked #1 in Western Australia and 77th in the
world (QS 2026), reinforcing the program’s global standing. On completion, you
also earn UWA alumni status, connecting you to a global network of over 155,000
professionals. This becomes a long-term asset, offering access to
opportunities, insights, and connections beyond the program itself.

What makes this
learning experience different?

A key part of the
experience comes from the cohort. You learn alongside professionals from
different industries, roles, and geographies, which adds depth to every
discussion. Real challenges from the workplace become part of the learning
process, making it practical and relevant. This exchange often becomes one of
the most valuable aspects of the program, helping you see problems from multiple
perspectives and make better decisions in your own role.

The next growth phase
for managers

Management education is
no longer about taking a break from work. It’s about building the capability to
perform better within it. UWA’s global MBA reflects this shift.
It focuses on helping you think more strategically, act with greater clarity,
and stay relevant in a business environment that is constantly changing.

We often search for
the secrets to a balanced life in textbooks or expensive seminars, but the most
profound guidance is actually waiting right outside our window. Birds navigate
the world with an effortless yet disciplined rhythm that we have largely forgotten
in our modern rush. By observing how they build, nurture and eventually let go,
we can rediscover something simpler, more natural way to raise our children and
protect our own well-being.

Let us explore the
“Nest Strategy” which is a realistic, bird inspired approach to build a
strong foundation and raise capable and independent children:

 


 One Small Step: The Single Twig concept - A bird’s nest is a miracle of engineering, yet it is built one
     tiny piece at a time. It doesn&#039;t worry about the whole nest at once, it
     only focuses on the one twig in its beak. When we face an overwhelming
     goal may be a career shift or a difficult parenting phase, stop looking at
     the mountain. Focus on the single twig i.e. the one small, manageable task
     you can do today. Thousands of small steps eventually create a home that
     can withstand a storm.
 Letting
     Go - We often try to smooth the path for our
     children but birds do the opposite, they eventually make the nest
     uncomfortable or physically push the fledgling out. They know that a bird
     that is never challenged will never trust its own wings. 


Children need to face small challenges to grow
strong. For instance, if your child is struggling to tie their shoe laces or
clean their room, do not jump in immediately to do it for them. Let them try
the task for a few minutes. This small frustration is exactly how they learn to
trust their own hands.


 Following
     Nature&#039;s Clock - Birds don&#039;t use alarm clocks or
     cell phones, they simply follow the sun. When the sun goes down, they
     settle in and rest so they have energy for the next day. At night, our
     homes are often filled with bright overhead lights, TVs and tablets. This
     ‘fake sunlight’ tricks our brains into staying awake, making everyone
     tired and grumpy. 


So parents, once it is dark outside, start dimming
the lights inside and put the screens away. This tells your body and your
child&#039;s body that it is time to wind up. It makes falling asleep much easier
and helps everyone wake up feeling refreshed.

 


 Life
     Skills Over Material World - A bird with a
     golden nest but weak wings is a sitting duck for predators. Similarly, a
     child with every material advantage but no practical life skills lacks the
     “wings” necessary to navigate a changing economic or social
     landscape. 


Spending time with children, teaching them real
life skills. These wings (their skills) will help them for the rest of their
lives, while twigs (their toys) will eventually be forgotten or broken.


 Focusing on the Essentials - Birds don&#039;t hoard more food or materials than they can use, they
     take just enough to stay strong and keep the nest safe. They don&#039;t weigh
     themselves down with extra stuff. As parents we often feel pressured to
     give our kids everything: every toy, every trendy clothes and every
     expensive gadget, thinking it makes their life better.


Focusing
on the essentials is very important. A child who has ‘just enough’ high quality
attention and basic needs met is often happier and less distracted than a child
overwhelmed by too many possessions. By keeping life simple, you teach them to
value experiences and people over ‘things’.

 

The ultimate goal
of ‘Nest Strategy’ is its own obsolescence - the moment the nest is
empty, the sky is full. As parents, we shouldn&#039;t just build a comfortable house
but raise a child who is strong enough and skilled enough to leave the nest and
fly on their own.

individuality, comfort, and elevated presentation for one of the country’s
most-watched live sporting broadcasts.

Speaking about the
collaboration, Sairam Krishnamurthy, CEO, Bombay Shirt Company, said, “Cricket
today exists far beyond the game itself. It sits at the intersection of
culture, entertainment, and personality. JioStar has built an incredibly
engaging cricket viewing experience, and we saw this as an opportunity to

audiences. 

The partnership
reflects JioStar’s continued focus on elevating every aspect of the viewer
experience, where presentation, personality, and storytelling come together
to create deeper audience engagement beyond the game itself. 

Speaking about the
partnership, Siddharth Sharma, Content Head – Sports, JioStar, said, “Great
storytellers need to tell their stories from the very first moment audiences
lay their eyes on them. Styling adds sharpness, credibility, and personality,
making the viewing experience more engaging. At JioStar, we wanted our on-air
talent to reflect the premium energy of this summer cricket carnival - a time
when summer fashion truly comes alive. It felt like a very natural fit to bring
BSC on board at the intersection of sports and culture.”

To bring the
partnership alive, the BSC team worked closely with the broadcast talent to
understand individual personalities, preferences, and on-screen presence.
Each look was thoughtfully curated to feel authentic to the wearer while
maintaining a cohesive visual identity across the broadcast.

As the season unfolds,
audiences will continue to see a more elevated and immersive viewing experience
where style, personality, and storytelling become as engaging as the action
itself.

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/a-new-intellectual-voice-on-indias-future-dr-monica-b-sood-debuts-with-the-economic-dna-of-bharat</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ABOUT THE
BOOK

Simon &amp; Schuster
India and The Sunflower Seeds are proud to
announce the release of The Economic DNA of Bharat, a landmark
work by Dr. Monica B. Sood that transcends conventional economic
analysis to offer a sweeping vision of India&#039;s past, present, and future. Part
civilisational biography, part strategic blueprint, and part personal
testament, the book charts a bold course for Bharat&#039;s emergence as a global
superpower by the centenary of its independence in 2047. 

Endorsed by Hon’ble
Ministers, Policy Makers and Senior Bureaucrats including featuring a Foreword
by Sh. Arjun Ram Meghwal Union Minister of Law and Justice, Sh. Gulab Chand
Kataria, Hon’ble Governor of Punjab &amp; Administrator Chandigarh,  Sh. Kiren Rijiju Union Minister of
Parliamentary Affairs, and Prof. S.P. Singh Baghel Minister of Dairying,
Animal Husbandry &amp; Panchayti Raj, the book arrives at a pivotal moment
in the nation&#039;s history, when India is already the world&#039;s fastest-growing
major economy and is poised to reshape the global order.

CRITICAL
ACCLAIM

The book has also
received endorsements from senior members of the Union Cabinet, including Sh.
Gulab Chand Kataria, Hon’ble Governor of Punjab &amp; Administrator
Chandigarh, Sh. Arjun Ram Meghwal, Hon’ble Union Minister for Law and
Justice who has written the Foreword for the book; Sh. Kiren Rijiju,
Hon’ble Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Minority Affairs; and Sh.
Prof. S.P. Singh Baghel, Hon’ble Union Minister of State for Fisheries,
Animal Husbandry and Dairying &amp; Panchayti Raj and Sh. Jatinder Pal
Malhotra, State President BJP, Chandigarh. The book arrives at a pivotal
moment in India’s growth story, as the nation continues to emerge as the
world’s fastest-growing major economy.

&quot;The Economic DNA
of Bharat is not just a work of economics—it is a vision document that fuses
history, policy, spirituality, and civilisational wisdom into a deeply personal
and nationalistic narrative.&quot; — Dr A.S. Chawla, IPS

&quot;It&#039;s a rare
work—heartfelt, insightful, and deeply rooted in India&#039;s essence.&quot; —
Kiren Rijiju, Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs 

“I am pleased to see
the publication of “The Economic DNA of Bharat-At a time when the nation is
moving forward with the goal of Viksit Bharat@2047. The Book clearly explains
the journey of India’s Economy”- Jatinder Pal Malhotra, State President BJP,
Chandigarh 

AUTHOR&#039;S
VISION 

&quot;Economic freedom
is not measured by immediate headline numbers, but by the dignity of labour,
the resilience of institutions, and the ability of every citizen to chart a
life of purpose,&quot; writes Dr. Sood, drawing on the
intellectual legacy of her late father, the visionary economist and diplomat Paramjit
Kumar—who engaged with Mahatma Gandhi on the eve of Partition and served as
a special envoy under His Holiness the Dalai Lama. 

Dr. Sood&#039;s
central argument is that Bharat&#039;s economy is not a manufactured system borrowed
from elsewhere, but a living organism whose roots extend into prehistory. True
development, she insists, must be measured not only in GDP but in how well it
honours civilisational heritage, social equity, and holistic human well-being.

A WORD
FROM THE COLLABORATORS

Speaking about the
publication of the book, Preeti Chaturvedi, the Founder &amp; CEO, At the
Sunflower Seeds, said, “We believe publishing should create space for
new voices that can contribute meaningfully to India’s literary and
intellectual culture. The Economic DNA of Bharat stood out to us because
it explores how government policies have created real economic impact while
also reflecting the spirit and identity of the nation. As a debut author, Monica
B. Sood brings a fresh and thoughtful perspective, and we are proud to
support writers who are shaping important contemporary conversations through
their work.” 

Ambika Sharma,
the editor of the book at Simon &amp; Schuster India, acquired the
manuscript because “It is deeply insightful book that traces the tapestry of
our nation’s emergence on the global forefront while charting the roadmap of a
superpower in the making.”

WHAT THE
BOOK COVERS

Spanning ten richly
researched chapters, The Economic DNA of Bharat examines India&#039;s
economic journey from the Indus-Saraswati Civilisation and the principles of
Kautilya&#039;s Arthashastra, through colonial extraction and post-Independence
socialism, to the transformative reforms of liberalisation and the digital
revolution of the 21st century.

Key themes include:

Economy and Finance:
India&#039;s path from the ₹500 lakh crore aspiration to a $5 trillion economy,
tackling unemployment, inflation, and skill mismatches through Skill India,
Make in India, and Digital India.

Defence and Security:
How indigenous defence manufacturing, advanced technology, and
strategic partnerships are reshaping India&#039;s security posture for 2047.

Education and Human
Capital: The imperative of
converting India&#039;s demographic dividend into an innovation engine capable of
global leadership.

Technology and
Innovation: India&#039;s AI, fintech, and space-exploration
ecosystem as instruments of civilisational confidence.

Agriculture and
Sustainability: A regenerative economic model that balances
growth with ecological stewardship.

Geopolitics and Global
Influence: India&#039;s soft power—from Ayurveda and yoga to
diplomatic alliances—as strategic assets in a multipolar world.

A final chapter, &#039;India
at 2047: The Final Leap to Global Leadership&#039;, synthesises short-term,
mid-term, and long-term roadmaps into a unified vision of Viksit Bharat.

<title>Goregaon East Emerges as Mumbai’s Next Growth Epicentre in MMR’s Evolving Urban Landscape</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai, May 15, 2026 : Micro-markets
backed by strong infrastructure, seamless connectivity, and expanding business
ecosystems are reshaping Mumbai’s real estate landscape. As the city continues
to emerge beyond its traditional commercial spaces, Goregaon East has emerged
as one of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region’s (MMR) most promising locations for
mixed-use and commercial development. Driven by a wave of integrated projects
spanning office spaces, retail, hospitality, and residential offerings, the
micro-market is rapidly turning into a dynamic destination for businesses,
investors, and urban consumers.

In the past few years, Goregaon East has seen rapid growth
as it has turned into a prominent mixed-use and commercial hub, anchored by
strong social and business infrastructure. The micro-market is home to many
established commercial landmarks, premium hotels, large-format retail
destinations, and entertainment hubs. This has helped in creating a
well-rounded urban ecosystem with Goregaon East that supports both business and
lifestyle needs.

Strategically located along the Western Express Highway,
coupled with connectivity through Mumbai Metro Lines 2A and 7 and the suburban
railway network, has further strengthened its appeal among corporates,
developers, and investors. The presence of integrated developments combining
office spaces, retail, hospitality, and residential components is also
redefining the area as a high-growth destination within Mumbai’s evolving real
estate landscape.

Goregaon’s connectivity matrix is being strengthened by
transformative projects such as the Goregaon–Mulund Link Road and coastal road
extensions, which are expected to significantly reduce travel time to key
business districts. Time taken to reach the office blocks within Bandra-Kurla
Complex (BKC) is projected to fall to under 20 minutes, while South Mumbai
could be accessible within 40 minutes, making Goregaon East a compelling choice
for the working-class seeking proximity without compromising on liveability.

Beyond connectivity, Goregaon East is witnessing a surge in
redevelopment projects and integrated township developments. The presence of
commercial hubs such as NESCO IT Park and its proximity to Film City are
catalysing employment generation, further fuelling residential demand. Rental
yields are estimated to be 20–25% higher than several central suburbs, as the
micro-market is increasingly attracting both investors and end-users seeking
mid-to-luxury housing options available in Goregaon East.

Commenting on the urban evolution of Goregaon East, Hardik
Pandit, Director, APICES Studio Pvt. Ltd, says, “This
is a suburb that represents a critical shift in how Mumbai is approaching high-density
growth. The focus in Goregaon East pocket is not just on vertical expansion,
but on creating integrated, human-centric environments. This is a location that
thrives on mobility, open spaces, and sustainable coexistence. Such
planning-led development ensures that Goregaon remains resilient and adaptable
as urban pressures continue to rise.”

From a development perspective, the suburb’s growth story is
being further reinforced by projects that align with modern urban aspirations. Ruchit
Mehta, Partner, Mehta Realty, highlighted Goregaon East’s evolving residential
appeal, stating, “Having been closely involved in Mumbai’s evolving real
estate landscape, we have witnessed how infrastructure-led growth can transform
micro-markets into thriving urban ecosystems. Today’s homebuyers seek
well-connected, highly liveable neighbourhoods that seamlessly integrate work,
lifestyle, and community. Goregaon East stands out as a shining example of this
shift. It has rapidly emerged as one of Suburban Mumbai’s most desirable
residential destinations, supported by a strong social infrastructure of
reputed schools, healthcare, retail hubs, and green spaces. The strategic
location it is in ensures seamless connectivity via the Western Express
Highway, key arterial roads, and expanding metro corridors, ensuring effortless
access across the city. I see Goregaon East at a decisive point where
liveability, connectivity, and future-ready infrastructure are converging to
create a premium residential ecosystem, with strong long-term value. The
momentum we are witnessing today reinforces our confidence that Goregaon East
will play a pivotal role in shaping Mumbai’s next phase of urban renewal.”

From an advisory standpoint, the investment potential of the
micro-market remains strong. Porush Jhunjhunwala, CEO, Banke International
Properties, notes, “Observing from an investment lens, Goregaon East has
moved into a more stable and growth-oriented cycle. This is supported by
tangible infrastructure delivery rather than future projections alone. This is
attracting a more discerning investor base, with a focus on long-term capital
preservation and steady appreciation, which is a strong indicator of Goregaon’s
market maturity.”

From a commercial real estate perspective, Goregaon East
continues to gain traction as a preferred mixed-use business hub, supported by
strong connectivity and evolving premium commercial infrastructure.

Commenting on this trend, Mr. Vikash Kawar, Director of
AGM Vijaylaxmi Group said, “Goregaon East is increasingly emerging as a
preferred destination for businesses and HNI investors, driven by strong
infrastructure upgrades, seamless metro and road connectivity, and the
evolution of integrated mixed-use developments. The micro-market is witnessing
growing interest from occupiers seeking high-quality office spaces with
superior accessibility and operational efficiency, while investors are
recognising its potential for long-term capital appreciation and stable
returns. As commercial, retail, hospitality, and residential ecosystems
continue to develop in tandem, Goregaon East is well-positioned to evolve into
a future-ready business district aligned with the changing preferences of
corporates and discerning investors. We believe the micro-market will witness
sustained growth in Grade-A office leasing and investment activity over the
coming years.”

In addition to the advantages that infrastructure and
economics have to offer, Goregaon East delivers a balanced lifestyle with
access to green pockets, social infrastructure, and evolving urban amenities.
It represents a transformation that reflects a broader shift in Mumbai’s real
estate growth trajectory based on prioritising decentralisation, connectivity,
and sustainable urban planning.

As infrastructure projects advance and redevelopment
momentum accelerates, Goregaon East is set to emerge as a defining chapter in
Mumbai’s next phase of urban expansion, where it excels by offering an
attractive blend of connectivity, liveability, and long-term investment value,
creating a perfect space for mixed-use and commercial developments. ]]></description>

Family
holidays today are no longer about ticking off one sightseeing spot after
another. Instead, families are choosing to slow down, reconnect and spend
meaningful time together through immersive experiences that broaden their
horizons. It’s this shift, that’s fuelling the growing appeal of holidaying at
sea – where lively entertainment, world-class dining, extensive activities and
multiple destinations come together seamlessly in one effortless getaway.

On
board, every member of a multigenerational family can find something they love,
without the stress of managing travel plans or daily logistics.

If
you’re considering your very first family cruise this year, here are a few
smart NCL tips that will make this holiday a pleasure from start to finish:

Start
Planning Early

One
of the biggest advantages of a cruise holiday is the time it gives you to plan
ahead. Cruise lines typically announce sailings months in advance, so if you
have a destination on your wish list or a particular itinerary in mind, it’s
worth exploring the sailing dates across NCL’s fleet early. Start with your
visa and passport applications and ensure all your travel documents are valid
well in advance.  Planning early not only
gives you peace of mind, but also unlocks the best choice of cabins, your
choice of flight timings, and access to sought after onboard experiences. This
is especially important for families – larger staterooms and connecting cabins
do tend to book out quickly during peak holidays and festive travel periods.
Securing these early can make a huge difference to your overall comfort and
holiday experience.

Choose
an Itinerary That Matches Your Family’s Travel Style

FOMO
(Fear of Missing Out) is real but when it comes to choosing your cruise
itinerary, it’s important not to follow the crowd.  The most popular itinerary isn’t always the
perfect fit for your family. Instead, focus on selecting a cruise experience
that aligns with your family’s interests, pace, and travel style.  Those travelling with younger children may
prefer shorter sailings with more relaxation time onboard, while those with
teenagers may enjoy port-intensive itineraries packed with adventure and
excursions.

Europe
is a popular cruise destination among Indians and NCL’s Summer 2026 deployment
is thoughtfully designed especially to help families explore more of Europe
while managing less, without the hassles of constant packing and unpacking.

Through
November 2026, eight NCL ships — including one of the brand’s newest vessels,
Norwegian Viva — will sail across the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and the
Greek Isles departing from 11 embarkation ports across 10 European countries.
NCL also offers several seven-day itineraries with fewer sea days, allowing
families to wake up in a new destination almost every day while still enjoying
the flexibility and ease that cruising provides. Select sailings also include
overnight stays in cities like Reykjavik, Copenhagen, and Istanbul, allowing
travellers more time to explore at a relaxed pace.

Prioritise
Comfort

When
travelling far from home on a cruise vacation comfort becomes essential - both
onboard and in your accommodation. For first-time cruisers, cabin selection
plays a key role. After a day of exploring ashore, returning to a spacious,
well-appointed stateroom can make all the different in helping you rest,
recharge and make the most of each day.

For
families, especially those travelling across generations, options such as
connecting rooms, family mini-suites, or balcony cabins are ideal. Booking
cabins closer to dining areas or activity zones can also make moving around the
ship much easier when travelling with children or elderly family members.

The
onboard experience also plays a huge role in ensuring a seamless and enjoyable
holiday. Aboard NCL’s award-winning fleet, families can enjoy flexible dining
options, non-stop entertainment, and activities designed for every generation.
While younger travellers can spend time at Aqua Parks, waterslides, or the
racetrack, adults may prefer relaxing at the award-winning Mandara Spa or
unwinding at quieter adults-only spaces like the Vibe Beach Club. This balance
allows every family member to enjoy the vacation their own way while still
coming together for shared experiences.

Balance
Activities with Downtime

One
of the best parts about cruising is the flexibility it allows you to do as
much, or as little, as you want. 

While
it’s tempting to fill your itinerary with back-to-back shore excursions, a
non-stop schedule can quickly become overwhelming for both children and adults

.
So, make sure you mix busy days with slower moments like quiet family dinners,
live entertainment, pool time, or simply sitting by the deck or balconies
soaking in the ocean views. Cruise holidays work particularly well for families
because everyone can enjoy the trip differently while still spending quality
time together.

Pack
Smart and Pre-Book Key Activities

Cruise
vacations offer a diverse mix of activities from excursions and pool days to
dinners and entertainment, often across multiple climates and time zones, so
packing versatile essentials is a must. Comfortable footwear, lightweight
layers, warmers, sunscreen, chargers, swimwear, and a compact  excursion bag are must-haves for a seamless
trip. It’s also important to reserve popular dining experiences, activities and
shore excursions in advance especially during peak travel periods.  Pre-booking allows you spend less time
logistics onboard and more time to enjoy the experiences.

Start
a New Family Tradition

Choose
this International Day of Families to begin planning your next getaway together
with Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) and begin a new tradition 

Of
discovering the world, one cruise at a time

<description><![CDATA[ Noida,
India | May 2026 : As engineering
aspirants across India evaluate institutions for B.Tech admissions in 2026,
Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT), Noida, is gaining strong
consideration for its academic credibility, industry-aligned curriculum, and
consistent placement performance. Located in the National Capital Region (NCR),
JIIT offers a balanced ecosystem of academic rigor, innovation, and corporate
exposure.

Academic Excellence Backed by Accreditations

JIIT Noida has
established a solid academic foundation with its NAAC ‘A’ Grade accreditation,

governance. Several of its B.Tech programmes are also accredited by the
National Board of Accreditation (NBA), further reinforcing the institute’s
commitment to outcome-based education and continuous improvement.

These recognitions play
a critical role for students and parents seeking credible institutions that
meet national quality benchmarks while delivering industry-relevant learning.

Placement Outcomes Attracting Top Talent

Placement performance
continues to be a major factor influencing student decisions, and JIIT has
demonstrated strong outcomes in this area. The institute has reported placement
packages reaching approximately ₹94.25 Lakhs , with participation from leading
global and Indian recruiters.

Companies such as
Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, Google, Atlassian, Intel, Pepsico, Accenture, Goldman
Sachs, and Deloitte are among the recruiters that have engaged with JIIT
students. This consistent placement visibility reflects both the technical
preparedness of students and the institute’s industry connect.

Student-Driven Learning and Technical Communities

Beyond classroom learning,
JIIT promotes active student engagement through technical societies and
professional chapters such as IEEE, ACM, and CSI. Participation in hackathons,
coding competitions, and peer-led initiatives helps students build practical
skills, collaborate on real-world challenges, and stay aligned with evolving
industry trends.

This culture of peer

the technology sector.

Hands-On Learning Through Advanced Facilities

as the AICTE IDEA Lab enable students to prototype and experiment with
innovative solutions, while the Ramanujan Universe High-Performance Computing

complex problem-solving.

Such resources play a
critical role in bridging the gap between academic concepts and real-world
application.

Innovation

<description><![CDATA[ Bhubaneswar : The
announcement of the CBSE Class 12th Result 2026 has brought immense joy and
pride to the ODM Educational Group family as students delivered exceptional
performances across Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams. Continuing its
strong legacy of academic excellence and holistic education, ODM students once
again achieved remarkable results, reflecting the institution’s consistent
focus on nurturing confident, capable, and future-ready learners.

This year’s performance stands as a celebration of hard
work, discipline, and collective effort. More than 173 students scored above
90% in the CBSE Class 12th examinations, highlighting students&#039; dedication and
the continued support of teachers and parents throughout the academic journey.

Medhansh Gupta emerged as the overall topper with an
outstanding 97.8%, setting a remarkable benchmark for academic achievement. He
was closely followed by six students, each of whom secured an impressive 97.6%:
Armaan Kamal Patra, Subham Narayan Sahoo, Sanjana Agrawal, Shanpriyam Behera,
Sukritee Pradhan, and Shradha Suman Swain. Their success reflects not only
academic consistency but also determination, resilience, and focused
preparation.

Expressing his happiness on the occasion, Dr Satyabrata
Minaketan, Chairman of ODM Educational Group, said, “The success of our
students in the CBSE Class 12th Result 2026 reflects their dedication,
determination, and belief in their abilities. Every achievement represents the
combined efforts of students, teachers, and parents who worked together
throughout this journey.”

This year also marked the introduction of CBSE’s On-Screen
Marking (OSM) system for Class XII evaluations, where answer scripts were
digitally scanned and assessed by examiners through computer-based evaluation
platforms. Focusing on the new marking system, Dr Minaketan said, “While
digital evaluation marks a progressive move towards modernising the assessment
process, the outcome this year has left many stakeholders seeking greater
clarity and balance in evaluation standards. We believe every new system
evolves through experience and refinement, and we remain hopeful that future
assessment mechanisms will become more transparent, student-friendly, and
aligned with learners&#039; genuine academic efforts.”

The results once again reflect the strength of ODM’s
CPX methodology, centred on Character, Potential, and Excellence. Through
personalised mentoring, structured academic support, regular assessments, and
continuous doubt-clearing sessions, ODM has consistently nurtured confident
learners prepared to excel both academically and personally. 

Congratulating students and educators across campuses,
Mr Swoyan Satyendu, CEO of ODM Educational Group, stated, “These achievements
reaffirm ODM’s vision of nurturing future leaders equipped with knowledge,
values, and purpose. We are proud of every student who has contributed to this
success story, and we remain committed to empowering young minds to achieve
even greater milestones in the future.”

As celebrations continue across ODM campuses following
the CBSE Class 12th Result 2026, the institution once again reinforces its
philosophy, “Grow with ODM,” inspiring students to move ahead with confidence,
ambition, and a strong sense of purpose.

The Fire That Remakes You: Finding
Strength in an Age of Silent Burnout

By Dr. Siidarth Bhattacharya

In a culture that celebrates constant
achievement yet rarely speaks about emotional collapse, many people today are
carrying invisible exhaustion. Behind professional success, social smiles, and
everyday routines often lie anxiety, heartbreak, burnout, loneliness, and the
quiet struggle to remain emotionally whole. It is within this deeply human
reality that The Fire That Remakes You finds its voice.

More than a conventional self-help title,
the book is a reflective exploration of healing, resilience, and inner
reconstruction. Through the recurring metaphor of fire, Dr. Bhattacharya
examines how painful experiences can either consume an individual or become the
very force that reshapes identity with greater awareness and strength.

“Pain changes people. Conscious healing
remakes them.”

Drawing upon themes of self-awareness,
emotional recovery, and intentional living, the book encourages readers to
pause and examine the parts of themselves often hidden beneath fear, pressure,
or personal disappointment. Rather than offering loud motivational promises,
the writing remains calm, compassionate, and introspective — allowing readers
to engage with difficult emotions in an honest and grounded way.

What makes The Fire That Remakes
You particularly relevant today is its understanding that healing is
not linear. In an age of instant gratification and curated perfection, the book
acknowledges that personal growth often emerges slowly through reflection,
acceptance, and emotional courage. The reflective exercises and
thought-provoking insights woven throughout the chapters transform the reading
experience into a personal dialogue rather than passive consumption.

At its heart, the book carries a timeless
reminder: adversity does not solely define human beings; the meaning they
create from it does. Thoughtful, emotionally resonant, and quietly powerful, The
Fire That Remakes You stands as both a companion for difficult seasons
and an invitation toward deeper self-understanding and renewal.

<title>Why Indian Homes and Offices Are Switching to NAS Storage? Why TPSTech.in Is Where They’re Buying From?</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-indian-homes-and-offices-are-switching-to-nas-storage-why-tpstechin-is-where-theyre-buying-from</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-indian-homes-and-offices-are-switching-to-nas-storage-why-tpstechin-is-where-theyre-buying-from</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Every few months, the
same notification appears on millions of Indian smartphones: “Your storage
is almost full.” The default response has always been to pay for another
month of Google One or upgrade an iCloud plan. But a growing number of Indian
households and small businesses are choosing a different path entirely. They’re
buying NAS devices.

A Network Attached Storage
(NAS) device is a personal storage server that sits in your home or office and
connects to your Wi-Fi network. Once set up, every device on your network,
phones, laptops, tablets, and smart TVs, can access, back up, and share files
through it. No monthly subscription. No recurring fees. No data leaving your
premises.

The global NAS market
was valued at approximately $47 billion in 2025, with a projected compound
annual growth rate of over 15 per cent through the next decade. The
Asia-Pacific region, led by India and China, accounts for the largest and
fastest-growing share. Within India, the consumer NAS segment is being driven
by over 900 million internet users and an explosion of digital content creation
at every level.

The Subscription Trap

Google offers 15 GB of
free storage per account, a limit most users exhaust within a year. After that,
a Google One 2 TB plan costs ₹6,500 annually. Apple’s iCloud 2 TB plan runs at
₹749 per month. For a family with two or three members on paid plans, the
combined annual cost can touch ₹15,000 to ₹25,000. Over five years, that’s
₹75,000 to ₹1,25,000 spent on storage they will never own. If a subscription
lapses or the provider changes terms, as Google did when it ended unlimited
Photos storage in 2021, users have no recourse.

A NAS device flips this
equation. A 2-bay NAS enclosure from Synology or QNAP costs between ₹18,000 and
₹35,000 as a one-time purchase. Pair it with two 4 TB NAS-rated hard drives
(₹8,000 to ₹12,000 each), and a household has 4 to 8 terabytes of storage for
₹35,000 to ₹55,000 total. That investment pays for itself within two to three
years, and the storage remains yours indefinitely.

Privacy and Security:
Why Keeping Files Local Matters More Than Ever

India’s cybersecurity
landscape has grown increasingly alarming. According to CERT-In, cyber
incidents surged from 1.03 million in 2022 to over 2.27 million by 2024. Cloud
misconfigurations remain among the most common causes of data exposure. In
2025, multiple Indian financial institutions suffered breaches due to
misconfigured cloud storage, with the average breach cost reaching ₹220 million
according to IBM’s annual report.

A NAS device changes
this fundamentally. Files sit on hard drives physically inside your home. They
do not traverse the public internet unless you explicitly enable remote access,
and modern NAS operating systems from Synology (DiskStation Manager) and QNAP
(QTS) include built-in encryption, two-factor authentication, and automatic
security updates. There is no cloud provider reading metadata, training AI
models on your content, or serving targeted advertisements based on your stored
files.

India’s Digital
Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP), enforced through Rules notified in late
2025, has further heightened awareness around data sovereignty. A NAS provides
a straightforward answer to where personal data should live: at home, under the
owner’s control.

How Indian Households
Are Actually Using NAS Devices

School and college
projects: Families accumulate years of academic work
across multiple children’s devices. A NAS provides a shared drive where every
child can save and access projects from any device. Synology Drive and QNAP
File Station sync folders automatically, so a presentation started on a laptop
can be reviewed on a tablet without USB drives or email attachments.

Content creators and
freelancers: A single 4K video consumes 30 to 50 GB of raw
footage. Cloud storage at this scale is prohibitively expensive and slow on
typical Indian broadband. A NAS offers local gigabit-speed access (over 100
MB/s on wired connections), letting editors work directly off the device.
QNAP’s multimedia NAS models include hardware transcoding for streaming 4K to
multiple devices simultaneously.

Smartphone backups: With
over 750 million smartphone users in India, this is the most universal use
case. Both Synology Photos and QNAP QuMagie automatically back up every photo
and video the moment a phone connects to home Wi-Fi, identical to Google Photos
or iCloud backup, except files stay on your own hardware with no compression,
no fees, and no third-party scanning.

Home offices and small
businesses: Chartered accountants, architects, and design
studios use NAS units with RAID configurations for data redundancy, meaning
even if one hard drive fails, no data is lost. For firms handling sensitive
client information, this is far more controlled than a shared cloud plan.

Surveillance and media
streaming: Synology’s Surveillance Station supports IP
cameras directly, while apps like Plex turn a NAS into a personal streaming
server for movies and music across all household devices.

Where to Buy a NAS in
India: The TPSTech.in Advantage

NAS devices are
speciality hardware that most large e-commerce platforms carry in limited
stock, often from third-party sellers with inconsistent pricing and
questionable authenticity. This is the gap that TPSTech.in (TPS Technologies)
has filled.

Based in Bengaluru and
delivering to 19000+ pin codes in India, TPSTech is India’s leading specialist
technology retailers with over 5000 SKUs, a decade+ experience in eCommerce,
and their claim of having experience of 15 lakh orders. The company is an
authorised seller of both Synology and QNAP NAS systems, meaning every unit
comes with a valid manufacturer warranty, genuine firmware, and access to
official support.

TPSTech provides
pre-sales consultation via phone, email, and WhatsApp, helping first-time
buyers choose the right NAS model and compatible hard drives for their specific
use case. The company offers express delivery (paid options) across India
besides standard free shipping. The NAS category on TPSTech.in
(tpstech.in/collections/nas-device) covers the full range, from entry-level
1-bay units to enterprise rackmount solutions, alongside NAS-rated drives from
Seagate IronWolf and Western Digital Red series.

Setting Up a NAS at
Home: Easier Than You Think

Setting up a Synology
DiskStation involves three steps: insert the hard drives (tool-free on most
modern models), connect to your router with an Ethernet cable, and run the
guided setup wizard from any browser. The entire process takes under 20
minutes. Synology’s DSM and QNAP’s QTS both present intuitive, desktop-like
interfaces where creating shared folders, setting up phone backups, and
installing applications are all point-and-click operations. Both platforms
support secure remote access without requiring technical knowledge of port
forwarding or DNS configuration.

Luckily for buyers
unsure about the process, TPSTech.in also offers remote guidance that goes
beyond model selection. Their team walks first-time buyers through what to
expect after unboxing, which drives are compatible, and how to configure essentials
like phone backups and shared folders. This hands-on support is a key reason
why many Indian households choose to buy their first NAS through TPSTech rather
than navigating a generic marketplace alone.

The Bigger Picture:
Data Independence in a Subscription-Driven World

In a world where nearly
every digital service operates on a subscription model, NAS represents one of
the few remaining areas where users can own infrastructure outright. There is
no monthly toll, no algorithmic curation of your files, and no terms of service
that can change overnight.

As retailers like
TPSTech.in continue to make NAS hardware accessible, affordable, and
well-supported across India, the NAS device is steadily moving from niche
product to household essential. The question for most families is no longer
whether they need one, but when they’ll finally set one up.

<description><![CDATA[  

●       
Agentic AI platform targets India&#039;s 70% loan
application dropout rate

●       
Atlas Origin helps lenders easily underwrite
complex secured loans in 1 day

●       
15+ lenders already onboard the platform
through co-build, POCs and deployment programs 

●       
Company expects 30% revenue contribution in
FY27 from AI platforms 

National, May 14, 2026 : Leading
credit infrastructure FinTech FinBox today announced the launch of Atlas, an
AI-native lending infrastructure suite that helps lenders reduce loan
processing timelines from three weeks to 24 hours. The platform replaces manual
lending workflows with AI agents that manage borrower onboarding, document
validation, and operational decision-making across the credit journey.

The launch comes as India’s digital lending
ecosystem scales rapidly, placing increasing pressure on lenders to reduce
turnaround times, operational costs, and borrower drop-offs. Despite the growth
of digital lending, most delays still come from operational inefficiencies such
as incomplete documentation, manual verification, internal handoffs, and
repeated rework loops rather than underwriting decisions themselves. 

In early deployments, Atlas Flow has delivered
application completion rates of 85%, with most applications completed in under
ten minutes. Atlas Origin has reduced credit turnaround time from an industry
norm of around 21 days to as little as one day, lowered file send-backs by 60%,
and increased first-time-right rates to over 95%. These metrics are crucial
indicators of efficiency in the lending industry and lenders work hard to
optimize these to improve business profitability and processing capacity.

“AI cannot be retrofitted onto a broken
origination process. It has to be built into it,” said Rajat Deshpande,
Co-founder and CEO of FinBox. “The question for lenders is no longer how
to add AI on top of legacy workflows, but how to make origination AI-led from
the first borrower interaction, with policy, audit, and institutional control
intact at every step. Atlas is built for that.”

Atlas Flow conducts the full application
journey across WhatsApp chat, voice, video, and RM-assisted channels, replacing
static forms with conversational interfaces that adapt to the borrower’s
language, pace, and available documents. The platform also allows journeys to
resume seamlessly across channels if borrowers drop off midway through an
application.

Atlas Origin operates at the point of document
capture, autonomously classifying, extracting, cross-validating, and assembling
loan files from scanned, handwritten, and vernacular documents. The platform
flags discrepancies while the applicant is still present, allowing issues to be
resolved immediately instead of triggering days of back-and-forth and
resubmissions.

“Lenders don’t need another dashboard or
another point solution. What they need is for the operational core of credit to
work differently: fewer sendbacks, faster decisions, and fraud caught at
origination rather than after disbursal,” said Srijan Nagar, Co-founder
of FinBox.

The platform is being released in modules,
beginning with Atlas Flow for borrower onboarding and Atlas Origin for document
management. Five financial institutions are currently implementing Atlas, with
ten additional lenders participating in early proof-of-concept and co-build
programs. Both products operate within the lenders’ secure environment and
maintain a full audit trail across every extraction, classification, and
workflow decision to support compliance and explainability requirements.

Furthermore, Atlas modules covering credit
appraisal, fraud detection, and institutional configuration are currently in
development and will be released over the coming months. 

The launch has already drawn positive
reactions from leaders across the lending ecosystem. Sridhar Gopalakrishnan,
National Product Head, Muthoot highlighted, “Agentic AI in loan
origination is something the industry has been moving toward for a while, and
it&#039;s great to see a team that actually understands lending be the ones to build
it properly. Excited to watch this one unfold.” 

Nischal Puri, 
Sr. Vice President, Retail Assets - Auto Loans,  HDFC Bank, further added  - “Putting agentic AI at the heart of loan
origination - It&#039;s an exciting development for the industry, and we look
forward to seeing the impact it creates.”

About FinBox: 

FinBox is a leading credit infrastructure
FinTech working with over 130 banks, NBFCs, FinTech lenders and large consumer
platforms, including HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Poonawalla Fincorp, Aditya
Birla Capital, Muthoot Fincorp and Tata Capital. Its solutions power seamless
omnichannel onboarding, instant underwriting and embedded credit distribution
across a wide range of lending ecosystems. The company raised $40 million in
Series B funding, led by WestBridge Capital with participation from A91
Partners and Aditya Birla Ventures.

<title>The Era of Informal Influence Is Over: India&amp;apos;s Creator Economy Is Entering Its Institutional Age</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Kofluence&#039;s
Decoding Influence 2026 maps how AI, regulation, creator commerce, and
performance accountability are reshaping the business of influence in India.

Bengaluru,
India, 14th May 2026 : Kofluence, India&#039;s leading Ad-Tech influencer
marketing platform, today released Decoding Influence: Annual Research Report
2026. Drawing on data from over 2 million creators, 1,000+ surveys, and
in-depth interviews with 50+ industry professionals, the flagship study
documents a structural shift in India&#039;s creator economy. The landscape has
transitioned entirely from an experimental phase into a formalised industry
defined by infrastructure, standardised processes, and regulatory governance.

India&#039;s
influencer marketing sector is valued at ₹3,000-3,500 Cr in 2025, sustaining a
22% CAGR from that base, and is projected to reach ₹4,500-5,000 Cr by 2027,
driven by deeper brand integration, creator professionalisation, and the
institutionalisation of influencer marketing initiatives. This expansion is
driven by the formalisation of influence -- transforming creator partnerships
into measurable, business-critical operations.

Leadership
Quotes

&quot;What
this report captures is a market that has crossed a structural threshold. With
15% of India&#039;s active creator base now registered as formal business entities,
and brands linking influencer marketing directly to revenue targets, influence
is no longer a soft channel. India is not following global best practices in
creator commerce -- it is writing them.&quot; -- Sreeram Reddy Vanga, CEO and
Co-Founder, Kofluence

&quot;AI
has done what most technology promises and rarely delivers: it has compressed
the production overhead that was preventing India&#039;s creator class from
operating at business scale. The governance question is now the defining one.
ASCI disclosures, SEBI scrutiny, DPDP compliance -- these are not obstacles.
They are the structural filters that will separate the durable from the
disposable.&quot; -- Ritesh Ujjwal, Co-Founder, Kofluence

Key
Insights from the Annual Research Report 2026

1.
The Formalisation of the Creator Class

India&#039;s
creator base spans 4.0M-4.4M+ active professionals, with Instagram serving as
the primary infrastructure for 3.3-3.7 million creators. The defining metric of
2026 is business incorporation: 15.2% of creators are now registered as a
business entity or GST individual. This establishes a new entry barrier for
institutional brand partnerships, making the GST-registered creator the new
baseline for enterprise engagement. Within this expanding base, 61.1% of all surveyed
creators operate in the Nano tier (1K-10K followers), providing highly targeted
community engagement. Specifically, 15.2% of India&#039;s active creators are now
registered as a business entity or GST individual, representing the new minimum
threshold for institutional brand partnerships.

2.
Regional Infrastructure Driving Growth

With
India having crossed 900 million internet users, Tier 2, 3, and 4 cities have
become the operational centre of gravity for the creator economy. Over 62% of
creators report an increase in regional and vernacular language briefs from
brands, signalling a systematic shift toward hyper-local strategies. The
performance case is direct: In Metro cities, average engagement rates range
from 3% to 4%, with average cost per campaign between ₹3.8L and ₹4.5L. In Tier
2 cities, average engagement rates improve to 3.5% to 4.5%, with average cost
per campaign dropping to ₹1.3L to ₹1.6L. In Tier 3 and 4 cities, average
engagement rates reach their highest at 4.5% to 5.5%, while average cost per
campaign falls to ₹35K to ₹90K. This data is sourced from Kofluence ARR 2026
Platform Data and BCG India Consumer Markets Report.

3.
Brand Accountability and Revenue Integration

Brand
accountability for influencer spend is accelerating. 13.3% of brands now
directly link influencer marketing spend to formal revenue targets, with a
further 46.4% applying performance accountability on a campaign-by-campaign
basis. 62% of brand professionals confirm that long-term creator partnerships
deliver superior ROI compared to one-off campaigns. Platform investment remains
heavily concentrated: 93.1% of brands prioritise Instagram as their primary
influencer channel, with e-commerce leading sectoral spend at 23%, followed by
FMCG at 19%. Specifically, 93.1% of brands prioritise Instagram as their
primary influencer marketing channel, making it the non-negotiable platform for
any scaled creator programme in India.

4.
AI as Operational Infrastructure

Technology
has standardised content production and campaign management at scale. Among
creators, 59% regularly or sometimes use AI tools for content ideation,
creative design, trend analysis, and scheduling. Only 17.3% of creators never
use AI tools -- a figure that continues to decline as technology becomes
embedded in daily workflows. Brands are deploying AI across creator discovery,
performance forecasting, and automated reporting, with 61% of brands actively
exploring tech platforms to streamline influencer campaigns. Specifically, 59%
of India&#039;s active creators regularly or sometimes use AI tools, with content
ideation leading adoption at 64.4%, followed by creative design at 31.9% and
trend analysis at 28.1%.

5.
Regulation Formalising the Industry

SEBI&#039;s
crackdown on finfluencers, ASCI&#039;s updated disclosure mandates, and the Digital
Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act are collectively separating professionals
from participants and pushing the industry toward accountability. Compliance is
no longer a constraint on creativity -- it is the foundation for institutional
trust. Brands and creators who internalise this early will build durable
advantages as enforcement tightens.

<description><![CDATA[  

A few years back, ₹70,000 for 10
grams of 24-karat gold sounded like a stretch. Not impossible, just unlikely
anytime soon. Now it has crept up to levels that would have felt unrealistic
then, and the gold price today is sitting close to those highs across most Indian
cities. The change is not abstract anymore. It is showing up in real decisions.
Wedding budgets are shifting, and for many business owners, jewellery in
lockers is no longer just sitting there, it is starting to feel like something
that can actually be used. Which leaves a straightforward question hanging in
the air: what is pushing prices up like this?

 

The rise in the gold price is not
random. It comes from broader economic shifts building over the past three
years. Knowing what is behind this matters when deciding to buy, hold, or use
gold for liquidity.

 

Unpacking the Surge: What is
Driving the Market?

 

Several interconnected factors
have aligned to push prices to these historic highs. The movement is driven
largely by institutional behaviour rather than retail consumption. 

 

●     
Aggressive
Central Bank Purchases:
Central banks across the world are changing how they manage their reserves.
Seeking to reduce their reliance on the US dollar, institutions across emerging
economies have accumulated record tonnage of the yellow metal. This persistent
demand provides a solid floor for the market.

●     
Currency
Depreciation and Inflationary Pressures: The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the US
Dollar directly dictates local retail rates. Since India imports the vast
majority of its domestic supply, a weaker rupee directly increases the gold
price in India. Furthermore, inflation numbers make fiat currency less
attractive for wealth preservation. 

●     
Geopolitical
Safe-Haven Demand:
Supply chains are still all over the place, and trade ties keep shifting, so
there is constant uncertainty. When things get like this, big investors start
putting money into gold since it tends to hold value better. 

 

What This Means for Everyday
Borrowers and Investors

For everyday individuals and
business operators, these record highs present a unique financial opportunity.
The jewellery sitting idle at home has essentially doubled in collateral value
over a short time period. These dynamics change the approach to securing
personal or business finance.

When borrowing through traditional
personal loans becomes slower or stricter, involving rigorous credit checks,
extensive documentation, and lengthy approval times. In sharp contrast,
leveraging an appreciating physical asset avoids these steps. By taking out a
gold loan, borrowers can access a significantly larger pool of capital than
they could have just two years ago, utilizing the exact same collateral. 

 

However, capitalizing on this
valuation requires careful partner selection. Lenders calculate loan amounts
based on the gold price today, but the borrowing costs remain a critical
factor. The gold loan interest rate determines the feasibility of the
debt, heavily impacting the repayment burden over the tenure.

 

Navigating Liquidity: Choosing the
Right Lending Partner

 

Selecting exactly where to pledge
family assets requires properly assessing both the financial terms and the
long-term institutional reliability. Established corporate entities with
decades of market presence offer highly standardized evaluation protocols that
local, unorganized lenders simply cannot match. For instance, Established NBFCs
such as Muthoot Finance operate under strict regulations and follow
standardised processes for gold loan evaluation. They utilize advanced, entirely transparent
assaying methods to ensure borrowers receive loan amounts aligned with current
market rates.

Security is another non-negotiable
factor in this process. Pledging valuables inherently means transferring
physical custody of items that carry heavy sentimental weight. A trusted
Financial Institution like Muthoot Finance maintains secure storage systems
designed to protect pledged assets during the loan period. Relying on an
organized sector lender also guarantees clear contractual terms and a highly
structured repayment schedule with clearly defined terms.

Evaluating the Financial Mechanics

Understanding the distinct
structural differences between secured asset lending and traditional consumer
credit quickly clarifies why asset-backed borrowing is seeing such massive
domestic uptake in 2026.

Tips and Caveats for Prospective
Borrowers

Before utilizing physical assets
to generate fast liquidity, financial advisors strongly recommend keeping these
operational parameters in mind:

●     
Compare
the specific borrowing costs:
The advertised gold loan interest rate is not universally fixed across the industry.
Lenders offer various distinct slabs based entirely on the total loan amount
and the chosen repayment frequency. Always calculate the total out-of-pocket
interest outgo rather than just glancing at the advertised monthly percentage.

●     
Verify
the valuation process:
Ensure the selected lender uses standard, non-destructive testing methods to
accurately assess purity without damaging the ornaments. The final valuation
should strictly reflect the current market highs.

●     
Plan
the repayment structure:
Defaulting on any secured loan puts your physical assets at immediate risk of
auction. Opt for flexible repayment schemes where you can pay the interest
monthly and comfortably clear the principal at closure, or choose a steady
Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) model. Plan timing carefully if capital is
needed for time-sensitive business inventory, as the current market highs
provide optimal borrowing limits right now.

 

Conclusion

The current historical trajectory
of precious metal markets highlights a massive fundamental shift in global
finance, a shift that is directly impacting the net worth of ordinary
households across India. While rapidly rising acquisition costs may deter heavy
retail buying in the short term, they simultaneously empower existing asset
holders with unprecedented borrowing capacity. If you are a small enterprise
owner or an individual needing immediate emergency funds, this is a highly
advantageous time to evaluate your liquidity options. Review your exact capital
needs, consult the daily market rates, and partner with a reputable,
established lender to safely unlock the financial power of your idle assets.
Review lender eligibility criteria before making a decision.

This unique offering transforms the

high-net-worth individuals, the venue will bring together:


 Leading businessmen 
 Political figures 
 Influencers and social elites 


This carefully curated audience adds to the
event’s prestige, making it one of the most sought-after social gatherings of
the season.

Powered by Vision and Relationships

Driving this large-scale experience is
organiser Keval Jasoliya, whose 12+ years of experience and strong network
across Surat’s business and social circles have been instrumental in shaping OG
Navratri’s premium identity.

Backed by The Memories Event’s execution
expertise, his vision continues to turn Navratri into a refined lifestyle
experience.

Redefining Festivities in Modern India

With its seamless blend of luxury
infrastructure, curated experiences, and digital-first engagement, OG
Navratri—under the leadership of The Memories Event—is setting a new benchmark
for festive celebrations in India.

This is no longer just Garba. It is an

aspiration, and celebration meets sophistication.

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/volo-health-services-and-medix-global-partner-to-transform-corporate-healthcare-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, 13 May 2026 : Volo Health Services Pvt. Ltd.  and Medix Global, a leader in
personalised medical management and healthcare navigation with an established
presence in India, today announced a strategic partnership to introduce a
variety of comprehensive, outcome-driven healthcare solutions for corporate
clients in India.

The collaboration brings together Volo’s strong
corporate reach, healthcare knowledge and claims management expertise with
Medix’s globally recognised clinical capabilities, and its proven experience in
the Indian market, where it has been delivering medical management services

Together, they aim to redefine how corporate healthcare is accessed and
experienced.

annually, significantly above general inflation, placing increasing pressure on
employers and corporate insurance programs. At the same time, nearly 70% of
healthcare expenses in India are linked to hospitalization and specialised
treatments, highlighting the need for early intervention, care navigation, and expert-led
medical management.

Through this partnership, corporate
employees will also gain access to the Medix App, a digital platform that
enables medical record management, expert consultations, and personalised
health navigation. Volo and Medix will leverage advanced analytics and
AI-driven insights to support corporates with better program planning,
treatment validation for employees, and ongoing care coordination all while
optimising medical and financial outcomes.

<title>Nivasa Finance Raises $3 Million to Narrow India’s Secured Credit Gap</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/nivasa-finance-raises-3-million-to-narrow-indias-secured-credit-gap</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Investors:
Prime Venture Partners, Blume Ventures, Whiteboard Capital

Bengaluru,
13 May : Nivasa Finance, building access to
secured housing credit for underserved borrowers across non-metro India,
has raised INR 25 crore in seed funding from Prime Venture Partners,
Blume Ventures, Whiteboard Capital, and a group of angel investors.

India’s
affordable housing segment, particularly loans under ₹25 lakh, represents a ₹1.4
trillion annual market with over 1 million loans disbursed each year, yet a
significant portion of demand remains unmet due to gaps in credit access for
informal and semi-formal borrowers. Borrowers in this segment, often
self-employed, gig workers, or small business owners, typically lack formal
income documentation or clear property records, making them difficult to
underwrite through traditional lending systems. At the same time, lenders face challenges
in sourcing verified, loan-ready customers from these markets, limiting
distribution of affordable home loans and Loan Against Property (LAP).

Nivasa
Finance is building a full-stack distribution and
fulfilment layer to address this gap. It supports borrowers across the
entire loan journey, from initial assessment and documentation readiness to
lender matching and disbursal, through a hybrid model that combines
technology-led workflows with on-ground field execution. The company
currently works with more than ten lending partners including banks, Small
Finance Banks (SFBs), Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) and Non-Banking Finance
Companies (NBFCs), enabling borrowers to access suitable loan options while
helping lenders receive verified, disbursal-ready cases.

Since
its launch in 2025, Nivasa has facilitated hundreds of loans worth over ₹20
crore, piloting the model in Mysore and Mandya districts of Karnataka.
Nivasa’s model is particularly focused on borrowers building homes on rural and
semi-urban markets, an increasingly important segment as housing demand shifts
beyond metro cities. Rising aspirations, improving income formalisation, and
increased lender appetite for secured lending in these markets are expected to
drive sustained growth in this category.

Unlike
traditional DSAs or branch-led sourcing, Nivasa combines remote onboarding,
assessment and matchmaking, with doorstep service to improve conversion rates
and the experience of both borrowers and lenders. The company also emphasises
transparency and a zero-commission approach for customers, addressing
long-standing trust gaps in the DSA segment. Nivasa has built customer-facing
digital interfaces, WhatsApp-led and app-based journeys, to simplify onboarding
and improve accessibility for borrowers in non-metro markets.

Nivasa
Finance was founded by Samit Shetty and Hitesh Saraf, combining deep
experience across microfinance and digital lending. Samit previously founded
and scaled Chaitanya India Fin Credit, which was later acquired by Navi
Technologies, and went on to lead Navi Finserve as its first CEO. His
experience working with underserved borrowers highlighted a persistent gap in
access to housing finance and loans against property. Hitesh has spent his
career building digital lending and underwriting systems across fintechs and
financial institutions. The founding team is now focused on building a scalable
distribution and fulfillment layer for secured credit in India.

Nivasa
is also exploring the path to securing an NBFC license to further strengthen
its role within the secured lending ecosystem. The
company plans to use the fresh capital to scale significantly over the next 12
months as it expands geographically and strengthens its distribution network
and partnerships with banks, NBFCs and housing finance companies. In parallel,
the company will continue to expand its field execution network.

Supporting
Quotes

Samit
Shetty, Founder &amp; CEO, Nivasa Finance

“India
doesn’t have a credit problem, it has a mortgage debt problem. Our mortgage
debt to GDP ratio is at 20% of the levels in developed economies and below 40%
of most developing countries, while on unsecured we are mostly on par. There is
a large segment of borrowers across India who are building homes and own
property but remain excluded from formal secured credit systems, not because of
lack of intent or repayment ability, but because the access and fulfillment
mechanisms are non-transparent and very complex. At Nivasa, we are building a
distribution and fulfilment layer that gives customer clarity on viable loan
options and keeps fulfilment simple for the customer, while enabling lenders to
participate in this segment with greater confidence and efficiency.”

Sanjay
Swamy, Managing Partner, Prime Venture Partners

“100% of households in more than 600,000
villages in India aspire to transform from semi-permanent to permanent homes
and we see a lot of this happening in the next decade. Samit, Hitesh and team
are committed to driving this transformation with fair and affordable financing
and we&#039;re thrilled to partner with them in this journey.”

Karthik
Reddy, Managing Partner, Blume Ventures

“Nivasa
is building critical infrastructure for expanding access to secured finance in
underpenetrated markets. Their focus on execution, customer readiness, and
lender alignment positions them well to scale in this segment.”

Anshu
Prasher, Partner, Whiteboard Capital 

“India’s
credit ecosystem is evolving rapidly, but large segments of borrowers still
remain underserved because access and execution continue to be fragmented. What
stood out to us about Nivasa is its ability to combine technology with deep
on-ground understanding to simplify the secured lending journey for customers.
We’re excited to partner with them as they build a category-defining platform
in this space.”

<title>Plant A Billion Trees (PABT) Leading a Collective Movement to Restore India’s Green Cover</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Chennai,
13th May 2026 :  As
environmental concerns continue to grow and cities expand rapidly, restoring
green cover has become a critical priority for a sustainable future. Taking a
proactive step in this direction, Plant A Billion Trees (PABT) is driving
large-scale tree plantation initiatives aimed at creating long-term
environmental impact across India.

Plant
A Billion Trees (PABT) is a mission-driven NGO dedicated to planting and
protecting trees while building sustainable ecosystems. The organisation works
with schools, corporates and communities to conduct structured plantation
drives that focus not only on planting saplings but also on ensuring their
long-term growth and survival.

Recognised
among the top NGOs for tree plantation fundraising near Chennai, PABT has been
actively mobilising communities, institutions and businesses to support
environmental restoration. With increasing awareness around climate change, the
need for responsible environmental action has become a priority. PABT’s
initiatives focus on creating green spaces in urban and semi-urban areas,
encouraging biodiversity, and promoting environmental awareness among younger
generations.

Through
its outreach programs with educational institutions, the organisation also aims
to inspire students to become active participants in protecting the
environment. This has helped position PABT among the top tree plantation NGOs
in Chennai and nearby regions, working closely with schools, resident
communities and volunteers to build greener neighbourhoods.

Corporate
partnerships form an important part of this initiative. As a CSR tree planting NGO in Chennai,
PABT collaborates with organisations that wish to support sustainability
through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs. These collaborations
include sponsored plantation drives, employee engagement initiatives and
long-term environmental sustainability projects. Such programs allow companies
to actively contribute to environmental conservation while creating measurable
social impact.

The
organisation also encourages donations for tree plantation and supports
fundraising for tree plantation NGOsthrough community campaigns, school
initiatives and corporate partnerships. These efforts help expand plantation
activities while ensuring that every tree planted is monitored and nurtured for
long-term survival.

Several
brands have already come forward to support the mission, including Birth
Marque, 10 Sports Club, Golden Keys, Tracole, Rajamata, Krishko, Horicul, APM
Group, Dawntown, Ceramic Pro, Namma Vetri IAS Academy and Klin Space, helping
expand plantation efforts across different communities.

Looking
ahead, PABT aims to scale its plantation drives across multiple cities, schools
and public spaces with the vision of creating self-sustaining green zones and
urban forests. The organisation remains committed to long-term care and
monitoring of planted trees to ensure that every plantation effort contributes
to a healthier ecosystem.

Speaking
about the initiative Mr  Shailendra  Shivakumar , Founder &amp; Chairperson Plant A Billion Trees
(PABT) said “Our goal is not just to plant trees but to nurture them into
thriving forests that support communities and ecosystems. We believe
sustainability requires collective action, and we invite corporates and
institutions to partner with us through CSR initiatives to create meaningful
environmental impact.”

As
India faces the growing consequences of climate change, initiatives like Plant
A Billion Trees (PABT) highlight the power of collective action in shaping a
greener future. Every plantation effort today contributes to cleaner air,
healthier ecosystems and stronger communities tomorrow. By bringing together
responsible businesses, institutions and citizens, PABT is building a movement
that goes beyond environmental awareness to real, measurable change—reminding
us that the future of the planet depends on the choices and actions we take
today.

<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, May 11 : Avaa
Wellness Pvt. Ltd. officially announced the launch of Sadhya Studio, its
premium wellness and mindful movement brand, during the inauguration of its
11th Anytime
Fitness India club at Anytime Fitness Delta 1.

The launch event brought together members

movement brand focused on alignment, mobility, recovery, movement quality, and
sustainable lifestyle practices.

The brand aims to bridge the gap between
fitness and holistic well-being by combining Yoga, Pilates, breathwork,
recovery practices, and nutrition-led experiences under one integrated
platform.

Reflecting on the launch, CEO Neha
Kapur said, “Sadhya was created with the vision of building a
wellness space that goes beyond conventional fitness. Our focus is on helping

Further elaborating on the concept, Narender
Kumar, Co-founder ARC said, “Sadhya has been envisioned as much
more than a Yoga or Pilates studio. The idea is to create a premium wellness
ecosystem where movement, recovery, nutrition, and mindful living come together
seamlessly. We believe the future of wellness lies in experience-driven,
community-focused spaces that genuinely prioritize the member journey. Through
Sadhya, we aim to build a brand that sets new benchmarks in the wellness and

<title>Green Mark Infra Limited Strengthens Focus on Technical Infrastructure Design &amp;amp; Expressway Development</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/green-mark-infra-limited-strengthens-focus-on-technical-infrastructure-design-expressway-development</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/green-mark-infra-limited-strengthens-focus-on-technical-infrastructure-design-expressway-development</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India’s infrastructure
sector is rapidly evolving with the expansion of expressways, smart
transportation systems, and high-speed rail corridors. As the country moves
toward faster connectivity and modern transportation infrastructure, companies
involved in technical engineering, roadway systems, electrical infrastructure,
and structural development are playing a critical role in shaping future
mobility projects.

Among the emerging
infrastructure-focused companies, Green Mark Infra Limited is strengthening its
position through technical infrastructure planning and development support
related to expressway projects, highway systems, and future transportation
concepts.

The company has recently
shifted its major focus toward technical infrastructure execution, roadway
support systems, highway durability planning, electrical installations, and
transportation infrastructure development associated with projects such as the
Delhi–Mumbai Expressway and the Agra–Lucknow Expressway corridors.

According to the company,
modern infrastructure development requires more than conventional road
construction. Large-scale transportation projects demand advanced engineering
coordination, structural planning, safety systems, environmental understanding,
electrical infrastructure management, and durable execution methods capable of
supporting long-term operational performance.

Green Mark Infra Limited
highlighted its involvement in multiple technical infrastructure activities
related to expressway development support. These activities include material
handling operations, roadside grilling systems, electrical and lighting
installations, lower construction support work, plantation development,
manpower deployment, and infrastructure coordination across several kilometers
of highway zones.

 

The company emphasized
that roadway durability remains one of the most critical aspects of expressway
infrastructure development. Proper groundwork preparation, soil stabilization,
drainage engineering, structural layering, and environmental protection systems
are essential to maintaining long-term highway performance under heavy traffic
movement and changing weather conditions.

According to project
insights shared by the company, several traditional highway developments often
face long-term maintenance issues due to weak lower-layer preparation, poor
drainage systems, and lack of advanced waterproofing support. Green Mark Infra
Limited stated that technical planning and infrastructure quality management
play a major role in extending the life cycle and operational reliability of
expressway corridors.

The company also
explained the importance of roadside infrastructure systems such as highway
grilling installations, lighting infrastructure, electrical cable management,
and traffic safety planning. These systems are essential for maintaining
highway safety, improving nighttime visibility, and supporting organized
vehicle movement on high-speed transportation corridors.

Environmental
infrastructure has also become a key focus area in modern highway development.
Green Mark Infra Limited highlighted its work related to plantation support and
green corridor infrastructure aimed at improving environmental sustainability
around major roadway projects. The company stated that modern expressway
projects should balance transportation efficiency with ecological
responsibility and landscape restoration.

Apart from expressway
development, Green Mark Infra Limited has also presented technical concepts
associated with high-speed rail and bullet train infrastructure systems.
According to the company, future transportation infrastructure in India will
depend heavily on elevated rail engineering, advanced signaling technologies,
structural safety systems, and internationally compliant high-speed rail
corridors.

The company outlined
several technical specifications for bullet train infrastructure, including
elevated aerodynamic rail systems, ETCS (European Train Control System)
signaling technology, earthquake-resistant structures, advanced fire safety
systems, and transportation corridors designed to support train speeds of up to
350 km/h.

Green Mark Infra Limited
stated that high-speed rail systems require precision engineering, advanced
structural alignment, intelligent electrical systems, and long-term
infrastructure durability planning to ensure passenger safety and operational
efficiency.

Industry observers
believe that India’s future infrastructure growth will increasingly depend on
companies capable of supporting technically advanced projects involving
transportation engineering, expressway systems, railway infrastructure, and
smart mobility development.

With increasing
investment in national highway corridors, logistics infrastructure, and future
transportation networks, the demand for technically skilled infrastructure companies
continues to rise across the country.

Green Mark Infra Limited
stated that its long-term objective is to contribute toward technically strong,
durable, and future-ready infrastructure systems capable of supporting India’s
growing transportation and connectivity demands through modern engineering
practices and efficient project execution. ]]></description>

<title>Why NCR’s Affluent Buyers Are Moving Towards Low Density Communities</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-ncrs-affluent-buyers-are-moving-towards-low-density-communities</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-ncrs-affluent-buyers-are-moving-towards-low-density-communities</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

The luxury housing
landscape in NCR is undergoing a major transformation as affluent homebuyers
increasingly shift towards low density communities that prioritise privacy,
exclusivity, wellness, and curated lifestyle experiences over conventional high
rise density. 

Ravi
Saund, Founding Director, Emperium Group said


“The definition of
luxury has evolved significantly in recent years, with modern buyers seeking
sustainability, emotionally enriching environments, open spaces, and
community-focused living rather than simply large residential towers and
crowded developments.” 

This shift is visible
across the Dwarka Expressway corridor, which has rapidly emerged as one of
NCR’s most promising luxury real estate destinations. According to recent
market reports, Gurugram recorded over ₹24,120 crore worth of residential sales
in the ₹10 crore plus category, overtaking Mumbai as India’s fastest growing
ultra luxury residential market. The trend reflects growing demand among
affluent buyers for larger homes, premium ecosystems, and future ready
residential communities. 

Industry studies
further indicate that India’s luxury housing segment is expected to maintain
strong momentum throughout 2026, driven by rising HNI wealth, infrastructure
growth, and increasing demand for premium residential developments. Analysts
have noted that buyers are increasingly prioritising privacy, wellness-led
planning, sustainability, and hospitality-inspired experiences while evaluating
luxury homes. 

The growing preference
for low-density residential formats is also being influenced by changing
post-pandemic lifestyles. Homebuyers today are increasingly conscious about
mental wellness, healthier surroundings, air quality, and larger open spaces.
As a result, projects with fewer residences, expansive layouts, and lower
resident-to-amenity ratios are witnessing stronger demand among affluent
families and investors. 

Responding to this
evolving market trend is Emperium Titan, a lifestyle crafted for Titans. The
ultra premium residential development is located in Sector 88A on Dwarka
Expressway. Designed as a low density luxury community
with only 74, 3BHK fully air conditioned residences, the project has been
conceptualised to deliver a more private and refined lifestyle experience. The
development combines spacious planning, wellness-oriented amenities,
hospitality inspired infrastructure, and a club 360 to offer a modern ultra
premium lifestyle aligned with evolving buyer aspirations.

The project has further
strengthened its premium positioning through its prestigious IGBC Platinum
Certification, reflecting its commitment towards sustainable and
environmentally responsible development. Sustainability and wellness have
emerged as important differentiators within NCR’s luxury &amp; ultra premium
housing segment as buyers increasingly seek future-ready and environmentally
conscious homes. 

The credibility of the
development is further reinforced by the strong market presence and execution
track record of Emperium Group. The company has steadily emerged as one of
Haryana’s most trusted real estate developers with a growing portfolio of
residential communities focused on quality construction and 100% before time
delivery. 

Over the years,
Emperium Group has received multiple recognitions that reflect its growing
credibility and industry presence. The company has been honoured with the ET
Real Estate Award for ‘Iconic Project of the Year’, the Jewels of Haryana
Award, the Jagran Achievers Award for Excellence in Real Estate, and more. 

Speaking about changing
luxury housing preferences, Ravi Saund added “Emperium Group stated
that today’s potential buyer is increasingly prioritising privacy, wellness,
exclusivity, and meaningful everyday experiences. The spokesperson added that
low density living is steadily becoming one of the defining aspirations among
affluent homebuyers seeking a balanced and 

elevated
urban lifestyle and that the company remains fully committed to delivering a
360 degree living experience that offers a complete legacy worthy lifestyle.”


Recent reports by
Knight Frank India and JLL India highlight Dwarka Expressway as one of NCR’s
most rapidly evolving luxury residential corridors, witnessing strong demand
from buyers seeking elevated, low-density, and lifestyle-driven communities. ]]></description>

“Simply create, market and scale your
brand, in minutes.”

21 year old founder Yash Kesharwani is
building Lyner, an Al
powered platform designed to simplify the complexity of building a business and
presence online, by turning hours of work into minutes.

The startup is already being discussed at a
reported valuation of ₹53 crore and is currently in talks to raise ₹8 crore in
funding.

Built with the vision of “One App. Zero
Complexity. Higher Efficiency,” Lyner aims to help MSMEs, creators,
influencers, brands, and startups manage everything from content creation and
PR campaigns to delivery systems and digital operations through a single
AI-powered ecosystem.

The company claims it wants to
revolutionize:


 Traditional marketing
 PR and news-channel marketing
 Influencer marketing
 Business operations
 Shipping and delivery systems


while turning complex workflows into a fast,
one-tap experience.

time managing disconnected tools, agencies, and systems. Lyner’s mission is to
simplify that process and help businesses save time, money, and effort while
maintaining high quality execution.

The founder also claims the company could
create millions of jobs over the next decade through its future ecosystem of
“Lyner Experts.”

While still in its early stages, Lyner
represents a new wave of AI startups being built by young founders aiming to
reshape how modern businesses operate.

<title>Appeal to PM Modi to Establish National Organisation for Empowerment of Women in Agriculture</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/appeal-to-pm-modi-to-establish-national-organisation-for-empowerment-of-women-in-agriculture</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/appeal-to-pm-modi-to-establish-national-organisation-for-empowerment-of-women-in-agriculture</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune :
On the occasion of World Mother’s Day, an appeal was made to Prime Minister
Narendra Modi to establish a national organisation dedicated to the empowerment
of women in agriculture. The appeal was submitted via email by the “Bharat
Krishi Nari Samridhi Sangh” and the “Krishi Nari Abhiyan Samiti” for the
welfare and upliftment of women farmers, women agricultural labourers, women fruit
and vegetable vendors, and women engaged in food processing and agro-based
industries. The memorandum urged the government to provide special recognition,
dignity and independent national-level schemes for women under the vision of
Viksit Bharat 2047 through the message “Krishi Nari — Samridhi Nari.”

 

The
concept of the initiative was proposed by Raghunath Yemul. Through “My Kisan
Mart,” farmers and consumers have been directly connected for the last 12
years. During interactions with thousands of farmers, the challenges faced by
women farmers, women agricultural labourers and women vendors selling fruits
and vegetables came to the forefront. He stressed the need for a nationwide
organised movement to strengthen rural women who still struggle for market
access, fair pricing, training and financial support.

 

The
guiding force behind the “Bharat Krishi Nari Samridhi Sangh” and “Krishi Nari
Abhiyan Samiti” is Vidyabhushan Dr. Prashant Pagare. The committee also
includes Rashmi Maurya, former APMC administrator B. J. Deshmukh, Kamini
Balasaheb Deshmukh, Varsha Paigwar and Sushila Singh.

 

According
to the memorandum, India has more than 3.6 crore women cultivators and over 6
crore women agricultural labourers. More than 10 crore women are directly
connected with agriculture through dairy, animal husbandry, horticulture and
food processing sectors. The committee stated that over 75 percent of working
rural women are engaged in agriculture and women contribute nearly 60 to 80
percent of the country’s food production. However, only 13.9 percent of women
own agricultural land.

 

The
committee has proposed organising one crore women farmers over the next five
years, establishing 10 lakh women-led agro-based micro enterprises, connecting
self-help groups with farm-to-market supply chains, and creating market access
through digital platforms. The proposal also includes skill development in
organic farming and food processing, establishment of “Krishi Nari Mandals”
across states, district-level women agricultural leadership centres, and a
dedicated digital app providing government schemes, market prices, weather
updates and agricultural guidance.

 

The
memorandum further proposed healthcare, maternity, nutrition and insurance
support for women farmers, microfinance assistance, Mudra loans, awareness
regarding land rights and Agri-Startup opportunities for young women in the
agricultural sector.

 

According
to the committee, the initiative could significantly increase the income of
rural women, create employment opportunities, strengthen the Agri-MSME sector
and accelerate the vision of “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and “Viksit Bharat 2047.” The
memorandum stated that true national prosperity would only be possible when
women farmers and women associated with agriculture receive dignity, identity
and economic self-reliance.

<title>India Emerges as a Key Hub for AI&#45;Led Mortgage Operations as Moder Scales Global Delivery</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/india-emerges-as-a-key-hub-for-ai-led-mortgage-operations-as-moder-scales-global-delivery</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/india-emerges-as-a-key-hub-for-ai-led-mortgage-operations-as-moder-scales-global-delivery</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
May, 2026 : Moder, a tech-enabled outsourcing firm
serving the mortgage, banking, and insurance sectors, is expanding its AI-led
capabilities in mortgage operations, with India emerging as its largest
delivery hub, as financial institutions increasingly focus on reducing costs
and improving turnaround times. Founded in 2021, the company has grown to over
7,400 employees globally, including more than 5,000 in India, and supports over
65 clients across key financial services markets.

As
lenders navigate rising cost pressures, evolving regulatory requirements, and
the need for faster loan processing, mortgage operations are undergoing a shift
from manual, document-heavy workflows to more standardised, technology-led
systems. Moder is aligning its operating model to this transition by combining
domain expertise, global talent, and automation to streamline processes across
the mortgage lifecycle, including loan origination, underwriting, servicing,
and customer operations.

To
support this shift, the company has been investing in AI-led capabilities
through modeIQ, a platform developed in partnership with Palantir
Technologies. The platform integrates data, decisioning, and workflow
orchestration to translate policies into structured, auditable processes,
enabling lenders to reduce manual intervention, improve consistency, and
enhance predictability in outcomes across high-volume environments. This
approach is helping financial institutions move toward more scalable and
efficient operating models while maintaining compliance and control.

“Mortgage
operations are at an inflection point, where traditional, labour-intensive
models are no longer sustainable in a high-volume, high-compliance environment,”
said Erik Anderson, President and Chief Executive Officer, Moder. “What
we are seeing is a shift toward integrated systems that bring together data,
automation, and human expertise to deliver faster and more consistent outcomes.
The role of AI in this transformation is not just to automate tasks, but to
enable standardisation and control in processes that have historically been fragmented.
India’s scale and capability make it central to how this transformation is
being executed globally.”

Over
the past five years, Moder has expanded its global footprint across India, the
Philippines, Guatemala, Chile, and the United States, with India continuing to
serve as its largest and fastest-growing hub. The company has also strengthened
its technology ecosystem through partnerships with firms such as Gateless,
ServisBOT, and Xpanse, enhancing capabilities across underwriting intelligence,
customer engagement, and operational scalability. In parallel, Moder has
developed internal automation capabilities through its Automation Foundry,
including co-pilots, analytics dashboards, process mining tools, and workflow
orchestration systems aimed at improving efficiency and reducing rework across
the mortgage value chain.

Marking
its five-year milestone, Moder has also announced a sustainability initiative
involving the plantation of nearly 5,000 saplings across Karnataka, including
Chikmagalur, Koppal, and Chikkaballapur districts, expected to be completed by
July. The initiative reflects the company’s focus on responsible growth
alongside its business expansion.

As
Moder enters its next phase of growth, the company will continue to invest in
AI-led capabilities, global delivery infrastructure, and talent, as financial
institutions increasingly prioritise efficiency, resilience, and
technology-driven transformation. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

Chandigarh,
May 11, 2026 : As India and the global
workforce shift decisively towards a skill-first economy, Chandigarh University
Online is reinforcing its core brand promise of enabling learners to “Move Up”
with the launch of five industry-backed, future-ready online degree programs.
Moving beyond traditional, theory-led education, these programs are designed to
build real, job-ready capabilities that help learners grow, stay competitive,
and advance in an AI-driven world.

The five programs are
designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world
application, with a sharp focus on employability, hands-on exposure, and
industry relevance. As AI, digital transformation, and product-led innovation
redefine workforce needs, they equip learners with the skills required not just
to adapt—but to confidently move up in their careers.

Among the key offerings
is an Online Master of Science in Data Science (MSDS),  the only online master of science program
that covers areas such as Generative AI, Applied AI, and Agentic AI, aiming to
provide learners with comprehensive exposure to the end-to-end AI ecosystem,
from foundational concepts to deployment. The university is also the first to
introduce an Online MCA in Agentic AI, focusing on advanced areas
including natural language processing, multi-agent systems, retrieval-augmented
generation (RAG), and large language model engineering.

In the management
domain, Chandigarh University Online has launched an Online MBA in Product
Management, designed to equip learners with future-ready product thinking,
strategy, and execution skills. Alongside this, the university is offering a
Premium Online MBA with triple industry certification, bringing together
credentials from PwC India, Project Management Institute, and Harvard
Business Publishing Education within a single program. Combined with CU
Online’s curriculum and faculty, the program is designed to equip learners with
strong business and leadership capabilities backed by globally recognised
certifications.

The portfolio also
includes an Online MCA program in collaboration with Microsoft, designed to
deliver dual value for learners. Through a single, integrated curriculum,
students not only earn an MCA degree from Chandigarh University Online but also
prepare for in-demand Microsoft certifications such as Azure Fundamentals
(AZ-900) and Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204). This combined approach ensures
learners graduate with both academic credentials and industry-recognised
certifications, strengthening their readiness for real-world technology roles.

Talking about the new courses, Dr. Raviraja N. Seetharam, Hon’ble
Vice-Chancellor, Chandigarh University,
said, “The expansion in our courses reflects a shift in higher education
towards outcome-driven learning. There is a growing demand for programs that
go beyond theoretical knowledge and directly contribute to career growth. These
programs have been developed with a strong focus on industry integration,
ensuring that learners are prepared for evolving job roles in an AI-driven
economy.”

With a focus on
accessibility and industry relevance, the university aims to cater to
individuals seeking better job opportunities, higher income potential, and
faster career progression.

Chandigarh University
Online stated that the programs are structured to combine academic rigor with
practical application, reflecting broader industry trends where skills,
certifications, and hands-on experience are becoming increasingly critical for
career advancement.

About
Chandigarh University Online:

<description><![CDATA[  Following the success of its debut IP, the studio continues to build India-born
stories for digital-first audiences

Mumbai,
May 11, 2026 : Kayhan Enterprises,
an integrated IP-led ecosystem with strategic focus on IP ownership and
creative exports has launched its second original IP, FAB 5, on Zee5 Kids,
further strengthening its vision of building culturally rooted stories from
India for audiences across digital platforms. The launch marks another key
milestone in the studio’s journey as an IP-led storytelling company focused on
creating scalable, character-driven content with long-term franchise potential.

The
launch follows the success of Kayhan’s debut original IP, “Chote Tara Ka Bada
Gadar,” which premiered on Zee Kids. Centered around the adventures of a
spirited young protagonist navigating playful chaos and imaginative challenges,
the show introduced audiences to Kayhan’s signature blend of humour, emotion,
and culturally rooted storytelling. Its successful reception established the
studio’s ability to translate original Indian narratives into engaging
mainstream kids’ entertainment.

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 couples, 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,“FAB 5 represents the direction we have always envisioned for Kayhan,
building stories that are rooted in Indian imagination while being universally
engaging. India has already proven its execution capabilities in animation and
VFX for global productions. The next step is ownership, and that is where our
focus lies. Through FAB 5, we are continuing our effort to build original IP
that can travel across platforms, formats, and audiences.”

Adding
to this, Arushi Govil, Co-Founder, Kayhan Entertainment,
said, “For us, children’s storytelling is about more than entertainment it is
about sparking imagination and encouraging young minds to think creatively. FAB
5 has been designed to immerse kids in a world where curiosity,
problem-solving, and courage come naturally through storytelling. At Kayhan,
our focus is on building stories that not only engage children in the moment,
but also inspire how they imagine, explore, and create.”

FAB
5 follows Anand, a kind ten-year-old who discovers a set of magical wooden toys
crafted years ago by a legendary, kind-hearted village toymaker known as
Dadaji. These toys: Rikki, Mimmi, Mitthu, and Mayur… are alive, infused with
the magical energy of Aranyavann after Dadaji bravely intervened to save a
powerful guardian, Zee. Chosen by a sacred Rudraksh left behind to find a true
hero, Anand transforms into ‘Super Anand,’ merging his spirit with his new toy
companions. But FAB 5 is not just a story about magical battles; it is a
coming-of-age journey rooted in universal emotions. Whether he is learning that
true strength lies in taking responsibility for careless mistakes, realizing
that clever teamwork outshines brute force, or discovering the power of empathy
to calm a frightened creature, Anand’s adventures mirror the everyday emotional
growth of a child. Each fast-paced eleven-minute episode blends action,
sophisticated humour, and heart, creating an emotionally intelligent world that
resonates far beyond the screen.

The
launch of FAB 5 further advances Kayhan’s long-term strategy of building an
integrated IP-led ecosystem spanning animation, gaming, digital storytelling,
education through Macra, and immersive experiences including AR and VR.
Conceived as Kayhan’s talent-development engine, Macra is focused on
identifying and nurturing the right creative talent across animation, VFX,
gaming, and digital storytelling equipping emerging creators with industry-led
mentorship, production exposure, and practical skills needed to build globally
relevant IP from India.

As
the studio expands its original content slate, its focus remains firmly on
building stories that can evolve across multiple formats and create lasting
value through transmedia storytelling.

About
Kayhan Entertainment

Kayhan
Entertainment is a next-generation storytelling studio focused on building
original IP rooted in Indian culture and designed for global audiences.
Operating across animation, VFX, gaming, and digital storytelling, the studio
combines creative vision with world-class production expertise to create
culturally resonant stories with transmedia potential.

IP ownership at the core of its strategy, Kayhan is committed to building

<title>CREDAI&#45;MCHI honours Channel Partners as Key Drivers of 60% of Real Estate Sales in MMR at its first&#45;ever exclusive Property Expo for Channel Partners</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/credai-mchi-honours-channel-partners-as-key-drivers-of-60-of-real-estate-sales-in-mmr-at-its-first-ever-exclusive-property-expo-for-channel-partners</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/credai-mchi-honours-channel-partners-as-key-drivers-of-60-of-real-estate-sales-in-mmr-at-its-first-ever-exclusive-property-expo-for-channel-partners</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  First-of-its-kind expo unites 48 associations and 50+ developers to accelerate
collaboration, transparency, and business growth in the real estate market

Mumbai,
May 11, 2026 : Under the visionary leadership of Sukhraj
Nahar, CREDAI-MCHI,
the apex body of real estate developers in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region
(MMR), hosted its first-ever exclusive Property Expo for Channel Partners at
the Jio World Convention Centre, bringing together over 5,000+ channel partners
and 48 channel partner associations on a unified platform created to strengthen
the critical bridge between developers and homebuyers. Recognising that nearly
60% of real estate sales are driven through the channel partner ecosystem, the
initiative was conceptualised to reinforce ease of doing business, recognise
the contribution of channel partners, and foster stronger partnership across
the real estate value chain.

The
expo was conceptualised as a recognition platform for channel partners,
bringing together the entire real estate ecosystem to deepen engagement and
create a more seamless pathway for homebuyers. The event witnessed participation
from channel partners across Mumbai, the wider MMR region, Pune and Nasik
reflecting the growing scale, reach and interconnectedness of the real estate
brokerage ecosystem across key markets .With the Mumbai Metropolitan Region
today comprising an estimated 45,000–60,000 active channel partners nearly
12,000–18,000 of whom operate as highly active institutional and semi-organised
players their contribution has become central to market movement, influencing
nearly 50–60% of residential transactions across MMR. By enabling direct
engagement between developers, channel partners and project teams, the
initiative simplifies the homebuying journey, enhances transparency and
reinforces trust. This integrated approach not only improves ease of doing
business for industry stakeholders but also contributes to ease of living by
helping homebuyers make more informed and confident decisions.

At
the same time, the initiative reinforces CREDAI-MCHI’s commitment to empowering
channel partners by creating a dedicated platform for business acceleration.
With the ecosystem estimated to be growing at 10–15% annually, and organised
institutional channel partner firms expanding at 18–25% year-on-year, this
momentum is being fuelled by rising residential demand, redevelopment activity,
infrastructure-led growth and digital lead generation across key micro-markets
such as Thane, Navi Mumbai, Central Suburbs and extended Western suburbs. By
bringing leading developers and channel partners together under one roof, the
expo enables faster knowledge exchange, stronger business networking, real-time
inventory access and smoother partnership, helping channel partners engage more
effectively while driving higher quality transactions across MMR’s residential
market, which continues to account for over 30,000 quarterly housing sales as
India’s largest housing market.

Emphasising
the importance of trust and awareness, Mr. Boman Irani, Chairman, CREDAI
National, said: “Trust remains the most critical currency in real estate,
and Platforming that trust requires deeper partnership across the ecosystem.
This initiative addresses a critical missing link by bridging the gap between
homebuyers and developers through channel partners, creating a stronger and
more transparent connection across the transaction journey. The more informed
and closely connected channel partners are with developers, their teams and
their service ethos, the greater the trust they can build with customers.
Today’s homebuyers seek confidence and credibility before making one of the
most significant investments of their lives, and that trust can only be built
through deeper knowledge, transparency and stronger relationships across the
ecosystem”

Speaking
on the vision behind the initiative, Mr. Sukharaj Singh Nahar, President,
CREDAI-MCHI, said: “Channel partners are the true ambassadors of our
industry, acting as the vital bridge between developers and homebuyers and
driving nearly 60% of residential transactions. This first-of-its-kind expo has
been created to recognise their contribution, deepen ease of doing business and
bring together a fragmented ecosystem on one unified platform. By enabling
direct engagement with over 50 leading developers, we are creating an
environment of greater trust, sharper market understanding and stronger
collaboration that will help drive the next phase of growth for Mumbai’s real
estate sector.”

Highlighting
the trust-led nature of today’s real estate market, Mr. Rushi Mehta,
Secretary, CREDAI-MCHI, said: “For us, it is ultimately about maintaining
the trust factor and strengthening a process built on transparency. With RERA,
today’s homebuyer has access to accurate and verified information from project
approvals and sale agreements to available inventory and units already sold.
Buyers today are extremely informed and cannot be misled. While technology and
AI are enabling faster engagement, real estate transactions still depend on
human trust, and channel partners remain central to building that confidence.”

Speaking
on the evolving nature of the sector, Mr. Nikunj Sanghavi, Treasurer,
CREDAI-MCHI and Exhibition Co- Convener, said: “Real estate today is not
just about driving business; it is about enabling long-term growth and
empowering buyers to make smarter decisions. Today’s customer is not simply
choosing a home they are choosing a home that fits their aspirations, lifestyle
and long-term value expectations. MMR continues to hold tremendous potential
for this growth. Pricing is ultimately a function of demand and supply, and
today’s customers are highly particular, informed and detail-oriented when
evaluating projects.”

Adding
perspective on broader market growth, Mr. Jitendra Mehta, Senior Vice
President, CREDAI-MCHI, said: “India’s real estate growth story continues
to remain strong, driven by rising aspirations and increasing purchasing
capacity. While global uncertainties may create short-term sentiment shifts,
their impact remains only a temporary blip. For India to unlock greater NRI and
reverse migration-led investments, regulatory support around ease of buying,
selling and fund repatriation will be critical. We are not competing with
global markets; we are focused on building better products and creating a
stronger, more future-ready real estate ecosystem.”

The
event was graced by Mr. Sukharaj Singh Nahar, President, CREDAI-MCHI; Mr. Rushi
Mehta, Secretary, CREDAI-MCHI; Mr. Boman Irani, Chairman, CREDAI National; Mr.
Nikunj Sanghavi, Joint Secretary, CREDAI-MCHI and Exhibition Convener; Mr.
Jitendra Mehta, Senior Vice President, CREDAI-MCHI, Mr. Mayur Shah, Mr.
Shailesh Sanghvi, Mr. Prashant Khandelwal, Mr. Sunny Bijlani along with senior
office bearers, leading developers, and Presidents of all participating channel
partner associations, who were felicitated during the event for their contribution
to strengthening Mumbai’s real estate ecosystem

Additionally
the expo held projects from more than 51 leading developers were showcased at
the expo, spanning offerings from ₹100 crore developments to premium residences
priced at ₹1 lakh per sq. ft., ensuring opportunities across every category and
buyer segment. This assumes greater significance considering that the Mumbai
Metropolitan Region accounts for nearly ₹2.5 lakh crore in residential sales
approximately 40% of India’s total residential market. With India’s real estate
sector projected to contribute 15% to GDP in a $5 trillion economy, the
industry is steadily progressing toward becoming a $1 trillion market, making
stronger channel partner collaboration essential to sustaining this momentum.

A
key highlight of the event was the felicitation of all 48 participating channel
partner associations, including representatives such as Chandresh Vithalani and
Ashish Mehta from National Association of Realtors, Jatin Shah from South
MetroCity Association of Realtors, and Raju Achpilia from The Association of
Real Estate Agent, recognising their invaluable role in market outreach,
customer engagement and transaction enablement. The overwhelming participation
further reinforced the growing need for dedicated, relationship-driven business
platforms that foster trust, transparency and long-term industry growth.

Designed
as a recurring initiative, the expo marks a defining step in CREDAI-MCHI’s
commitment to building a more organised, collaborative and efficient real
estate ecosystem where channel partners continue to remain at the centre of
business acceleration and homebuyer confidence.

text tokens without degradation in audio quality.

This
move delivers 3.6× lower infrastructure cost with higher throughputs and faster
response times than leading GPU alternatives. For enterprises running voice AI
at scale, this is not an incremental improvement. It is a structural shift in
what voice AI costs to deploy and operate.

Lightning
V2 is the first TTS system in the world to achieve production-quality audio
under aggressive low-precision compute — and it is available now, exclusively
on Tenstorrent, AI compute for any scale.

Built
for How Real-Time AI Actually Works

Tenstorrent&#039;s
architecture was designed for continuous, low-latency inference — the kind of
work that real-time voice demands. Data moves directly between compute cores
on-chip, without routing through external memory. For a voice model that
generates speech through iterative refinement, this translates into faster
responses and significantly more efficient execution.

Its
native support for low-precision formats such as BlockFloat8 makes it a natural
fit for the level of optimisation Lightning V2 requires — hardware and model
working in concert, not in compromise.

&quot;Traditional
GPUs are built around massively parallel streaming multiprocessors — powerful
for throughput, but for single-stream, real-time inference like TTS, the
bottleneck isn&#039;t compute, it&#039;s memory movement. Tenstorrent&#039;s architecture is
fundamentally different. 

We
use a Network-on-Chip connecting cores directly with large distributed SRAM,
and data moves core-to-core without round-tripping through DRAM. We&#039;ve built
efficient AI hardware that reduces the cost of existing workflows and unlocks
applications previously not economically feasible.&quot;

—
Amr Elashmawi, VP of Strategy &amp; Business Development, Tenstorrent

The
Engineering Behind This

This
is not just a port. Lightning V2 was rebuilt from the ground up for how
Tenstorrent moves data. Over 95% of the model now runs in reduced-precision
arithmetic (LoFi), with more than 80% operating in BlockFloat8 — achieving zero
audible degradation at production quality. It is the first TTS system in the
world to combine both at this scale without compromising voice.

Optimising
a voice model is a different problem from optimising a language model. A
language model produces tokens — discrete outputs where small numerical errors
are naturally absorbed. A voice model produces a continuous audio waveform:
tens of thousands of data points per second, each one shaping what a listener
hears.

Push
the wrong part of the model into lower precision and the result isn&#039;t a
slightly worse output – it&#039;s robotic distortion, background hiss, or pitch that
collapses mid-sentence. The human ear catches what standard engineering metrics
completely miss.

During
development, the team encountered a layer that scored perfectly on every
numerical test and was still causing audible breakage. Finding it took over a
month. That depth of work — custom compute routines, layer-by-layer
experimentation, perceptual validation — is what makes the result possible.
Lightning V2 wasn&#039;t optimised until it broke. It was co-designed with the
hardware until both performed at their best.

&quot;Tenstorrent&#039;s
architecture is fundamentally different than existing paradigms. Working with
the NoC and larger SRAM that define the data movement fluidity, we unlocked 4x
gains, driving a structural shift in inference economics.&quot;

—
Ranjith, Senior AI Inference Performance Engineer, Smallest.ai

The
Performance in Numbers

Supporting
550 simultaneous voice calls (assuming zero idle time between requests):

•  On NVIDIA L40S: 11 GPUs — approximately
$100,000

•  On Tenstorrent P100: 27 accelerators —
approximately $27,000 — 3.6× lower cost

Voice
AI at Population Scale- Finally Possible

In
a future where billions of people speak to voice AI every day, the economics of
how it runs matters as much as the quality of how it sounds. Until now, the
organisations with the most to gain from deploying voice AI at scale have faced
the steepest barrier to doing so.

Regulated
industries — Financial services, healthcare, and telecoms companies that need
data to stay on their own infrastructure can now meet GDPR, HIPAA, and
sovereign data requirements without the hardware cost making it impractical.

Growth-stage
companies — Teams that couldn&#039;t previously justify the capital spend can now
access the same quality of voice infrastructure as the largest players in their
market.

High-volume
operations — Contact centres, voice agents, and multilingual support operations
can scale without infrastructure cost becoming the ceiling on what&#039;s possible.

&quot;Voice
AI has always been held back by the assumption that you need expensive
infrastructure to do it well. What we&#039;ve built with Tenstorrent proves
otherwise.&quot;

—
Akshat Mandloi, CTO, Smallest.ai

Lightning
V3 Is Already on the Horizon

Smallest.ai&#039;s
next model, Lightning V3, already outperforms OpenAI, Cartesia, and ElevenLabs
on key voice quality benchmarks. The same co-design methodology is now being
applied to bring V3 to Tenstorrent — with early optimisation work pointing to
gains that could surpass what V2 has achieved.

Note:
Lightning V3 is not part of this release. Lightning V2 is available on
Tenstorrent now, with usage-based pricing and no upfront commitments.

for its calm nature and ability to adapt to life on the seabed.

The
successful breeding at VGP Marine Kingdom reflects the aquarium’s high
standards of aquatic care, habitat management, and the expertise of its marine
specialists. The shark eggs are currently being carefully monitored and
protected in a dedicated quarantine and incubation system managed by the
aquarium’s marine team to ensure safe development.

Visitors
to VGP Marine Kingdom will also have the unique opportunity to witness the
incubation process and learn more about shark species, marine ecosystems, and
conservation practices. The aquarium plans to use this milestone as an
educational platform to raise awareness about the importance of protecting
marine biodiversity.

Captive
breeding initiatives like this play an important role in reducing reliance on
wild populations and promoting sustainable aquarium practices. Such efforts
also contribute to research, species understanding, and long-term conservation
strategies.

Speaking
about the achievement, Mr. VGPR Premdas, Director, VGP Marine Kingdom, said,
“The successful breeding of the Brownbanded Bamboo Shark is a proud and
significant moment for VGP Marine Kingdom. It reflects the dedication and
expertise of our marine team and our commitment to marine conservation and
education. Achievements like this place VGP Marine Kingdom among the few
aquariums contributing to captive marine breeding efforts in India, while also
helping create greater awareness about protecting our ocean ecosystems.”

11. Aadivasi Welfare
Foundation

Reimagining CSR in
India: From Plantation Drives to Ecosystems

Environmental CSR in
India is shifting from symbolic tree plantation drives to long-term, measurable
sustainability models. Companies are now prioritizing biodiversity restoration,
community ownership, and livelihood integration over one-time activities.

Traditional
plantation efforts often struggled due to low survival rates and lack of local
involvement. In response, newer approaches focus on native species, ecological
alignment, and sustained monitoring. Organizations like Aadivasi Welfare
Foundation (AWF) exemplify this shift through landscape-based restoration,
geo-tagged tracking, and community participation.

Innovative models
such as Aadivasi.org combine afforestation with tribal handicrafts, linking
environmental impact with income generation. Meanwhile, IMPCA integrates carbon
credits with rural livelihoods, turning plantations into long-term economic
assets.

Today, CSR success is
measured not by saplings planted, but by survival rates, biodiversity impact,
carbon outcomes, and community benefits—marking a decisive move toward
scalable, accountable ecosystem building.

<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/solrato-joined-hands-with-solaire-to-penetrate-5-billion-market-of-north-india</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/solrato-joined-hands-with-solaire-to-penetrate-5-billion-market-of-north-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ​In a major
development for the renewable energy sector, Solrato Power has officially announced a
strategic partnership with Solaire, a proud &quot;Make in India&quot; brand
backed by the 30-year legacy of Kerala’s esteemed Lagnuvo Group. The
collaboration is designed to aggressively target and capture a significant
share of the rapidly expanding $5 billion green energy market across North
India.

​The alliance
leverages Solrato Power&#039;s deep regional roots and localized deployment
expertise alongside Solaire&#039;s high-efficiency, advanced solar infrastructure
solutions. Together, the two entities aim to transform the energy landscape for
residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial consumers throughout
Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi NCR, and surrounding regions.

Government
Schemes and &#039;Make in India&#039; Driving Unprecedented Growth

​The North Indian
solar market is on the brink of exponential expansion, heavily catalyzed by
landmark government initiatives such as the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana and
the PM KUSUM Scheme. These programs are drastically lowering the barrier to
entry for residential homeowners and the agricultural sector, creating massive,
unprecedented demand for reliable power generation.

​Simultaneously,
industry experts project a rapid surge in growth for domestic manufacturers due
to the anticipated introduction of ALMM (Approved List of Models and
Manufacturers) regulations for solar inverters, mirroring the existing mandates
for solar panels. As the market shifts to favor domestic manufacturing, an
Indian brand armed with a 30-year legacy of trust is the perfect choice for
consumers seeking genuine &quot;Make in India&quot; products.

​Solaire
perfectly addresses this need, offering a highly versatile product lineup that
encompasses both Low Voltage and High Voltage segments within its state-of-the-art
On-Grid and Hybrid inverter ranges.

Voices from the
Leadership

​The leadership of
both companies expressed immense optimism about the joint venture&#039;s potential
to disrupt the traditional energy grid and champion domestic manufacturing.

​Nabeel Firoz,
Director of Solrato Power:

&quot;This
collaboration with Solaire marks a pivotal milestone for our company. The North
Indian market, currently valued at $5 billion, presents an incredible
opportunity for scalable and sustainable energy implementation. Furthermore,
with the anticipated ALMM regulations for inverters, aligning with a trusted
&#039;Make in India&#039; brand is a strategic imperative. Solaire&#039;s 30-year legacy
through the Lagnuvo Group gives our customers the ultimate assurance of quality
and longevity, providing the perfect solution whether they require low voltage
residential setups or high-capacity commercial hybrid inverters.&quot;

​Yasif Eqbal, VP
Sales of Solaire:

&quot;At
Solaire, our core objective has always been to democratize access to clean
energy through world-class, indigenous technology. Partnering with Solrato
Power gives us the vital, localized market penetration required to rapidly
scale our distribution across North India. As a proud &#039;Make in India&#039; brand
backed by three decades of engineering excellence from the Lagnuvo Group, we
are uniquely equipped to meet the surging demand driven by the PM Surya Ghar
and KUSUM schemes. Solrato’s aggressive on-ground strategy perfectly
complements our comprehensive low and high voltage inverter portfolios.&quot;

​Key Focus Areas
for the Partnership

​To effectively
penetrate the $5 billion market, the Solrato-Solaire alliance will prioritize
the following initiatives over the next 12 to 18 months:

​Agricultural
and Residential Accessibility: Capitalizing on the PM
Surya Ghar and KUSUM schemes by launching simplified, cost-effective home and
farm solar setups with seamless financing options.

​Commercial and
Industrial (C&amp;I) Integration: Providing
end-to-end, high-voltage installations for manufacturing hubs and corporate
parks using advanced Hybrid and On-Grid inverters.

​After-Sales
Excellence: Establishing localized service centers to ensure rapid
maintenance, maximizing the lifespan and efficiency of the deployed solar power
grids.

​With operations
already scaling up in key cities, this partnership is set to heavily impact
regional market shares. As Solrato Power and Solaire synchronize their efforts,
North India&#039;s transition toward a sustainable, domestically-powered solar
future appears more accelerated than ever. ]]></description>

<title>Yes Securities&amp;apos; Demat account App is Part of India&amp;apos;s 21.6 Crore Demat Boom as CDSL Adds 76 Lakh New Accounts in Q3 FY26 Alone</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/yes-securities-demat-account-app-is-part-of-indias-216-crore-demat-boom-as-cdsl-adds-76-lakh-new-accounts-in-q3-fy26-alone</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/yes-securities-demat-account-app-is-part-of-indias-216-crore-demat-boom-as-cdsl-adds-76-lakh-new-accounts-in-q3-fy26-alone</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India’s
financial markets have witnessed a steady rise in retail participation,
supported by increasing awareness and digital accessibility. This trend is
reflected in the growing number of Demat accounts, which have crossed 21.6
crore, indicating a broad expansion of the investor base. In addition, CDSL
added around 76 lakh new accounts in Q3 FY26 alone, highlighting continued
momentum in new account openings. The rise in participation suggests that more
individuals are exploring equity and market-linked investments as part of their
financial planning. Digital platforms and simplified onboarding processes have
played an important role in enabling this shift. In this article, we examine
the factors contributing to this growth and the role of Demat account apps in
supporting new investors.

Expansion
of Retail Investor Participation

The
increase in Demat accounts reflects a broader shift in how individuals approach
investing. Traditionally, participation in equity markets was limited to a
smaller segment of investors. However, with easier access to information and
digital tools, more individuals now open Demat account
and consider equities and related instruments.

Key
factors contributing to this expansion include:

●       
Increased financial literacy and awareness

●       
Availability of online investment platforms

●       
Growth of mobile-based financial services

●       
Greater access to real-time market data

This
shift has made investing more inclusive, allowing individuals from different
regions and backgrounds to participate in financial markets.

Role
of CDSL in Account Growth

Depositories
such as CDSL play a central role in maintaining electronic records of
securities. The addition of 76 lakh new accounts in a single quarter reflects
the scale at which new investors are entering the system.

This
growth may be linked to several developments:

●       
Increased IPO activity attracting new
investors

●       
Rising interest in equity markets during
periods of market movement

●       
Simplified account opening processes

●       
Expansion of digital financial services

As
the number of Demat accounts grows, the supporting infrastructure continues to
evolve to manage higher transaction volumes and user activity.

Digital
Onboarding and Accessibility

One
of the primary drivers of this growth is the shift towards digital onboarding.
Investors can now open Demat accounts through online platforms without the need
for physical documentation or branch visits.

Most
platforms offer:

●       
Online KYC verification

●       
Paperless documentation

●       
Quick account activation timelines

●       
Mobile app-based onboarding

These
features reduce the time and effort required to open an account, making it
easier for first-time investors to enter the market. In many cases, the entire
process can be completed within a short duration, depending on verification
requirements.

Importance
of Demat account Apps

Demat
account apps have become a central tool for managing investments in the digital
era. These apps provide a unified interface where investors can monitor their
holdings, track market movements, and execute transactions.

Common
features of a Demat account app
include:

●       
Real-time tracking of stock prices

●       
Portfolio overview and performance monitoring

●       
Buy and sell order execution

●       
Transaction history and reporting

●       
Alerts and notifications

Such
features help investors stay informed and manage their investments efficiently,
especially in fast-moving market conditions.

Changing
Profile of Investors

The
growth in Demat accounts also reflects a shift in the demographic profile of
investors. Younger individuals, including first-time earners and early
professionals, are increasingly participating in financial markets.

This
group typically prefers:

●       
Mobile-first investment platforms

●       
Simple and intuitive user interfaces

●       
Quick onboarding processes

●       
Access to learning resources

As a
result, digital platforms are adapting their offerings to cater to these
preferences, making investing more accessible and user-friendly.

Integration
of Research and Tools

While
ease of access is important, the availability of research tools and market
insights also plays a role in supporting investor decisions. Many platforms now
integrate research reports, charts, and analytics within their apps.

These
tools may help investors:

●       
Analyse market trends

●       
Evaluate investment opportunities

●       
Track portfolio performance over time

In
this context, platforms such as YES Securities offer Demat account apps that
combine digital onboarding with access to investment tools and market insights,
supporting users as they navigate the investing process.

Impact
on Market Participation

The
rise in Demat accounts has contributed to broader market participation. With
more individuals able to access investment platforms, trading volumes and
investor engagement have increased.

At
the same time, the availability of digital tools has made it easier for
investors to:

●       
Monitor market developments

●       
Execute trades quickly

●       
Manage portfolios in real time

However,
increased participation also highlights the importance of informed
decision-making and understanding market risks.

Conclusion

The
growth to over 21.6 crore Demat accounts, along with the addition of 76 lakh
new accounts by CDSL in Q3 FY26, reflects the expanding base of retail
investors in India. Digital platforms, simplified onboarding processes, and
mobile investment apps have made it easier for individuals to participate in
financial markets. As this trend continues, access to user-friendly tools and
structured investment platforms remains important. Platforms like YES
Securities are part of this evolving ecosystem, offering digital account
opening and investment access through app-based solutions. As participation
increases, a balanced and informed approach to investing becomes essential for
long-term financial planning.

<title>iNvent Returns to Moti Nagar with New Apple Authorised Reseller Store, Brings Premium Apple Experience Closer to West Delhi</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/invent-returns-to-moti-nagar-with-new-apple-authorised-reseller-store-brings-premium-apple-experience-closer-to-west-delhi</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/invent-returns-to-moti-nagar-with-new-apple-authorised-reseller-store-brings-premium-apple-experience-closer-to-west-delhi</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, 9th May 2026 : iNvent has expanded
its presence in Delhi NCR with the launch of a new Apple Authorised Reseller
(AAR) store in Moti Nagar, marking a return to a location the brand was
associated with nearly a decade ago.

Located
at Ground Floor, DLF Mid Town Plaza, Shop No. SH-14, the 900 sq. ft.
store is positioned to serve one of West Delhi’s fast-evolving residential and
commercial catchments, where access to premium tech retail and guided purchase
experiences has remained limited.

For
iNvent, this isn’t just another store opening but a strategic move to deepen
its presence in neighbourhoods where demand for Apple products is growing but
retail experience hasn’t kept pace.

Moti
Nagar today sits at the intersection of new luxury housing, emerging commercial
hubs, and a growing base of young professionals and business owners. With DLF
Midtown and surrounding developments reshaping the area, iNvent sees an
opportunity to bridge a clear gap not just in product availability, but in how
Apple devices are experienced and purchased.

Interestingly,
the brand had a footprint in this area as early as 2013, making this launch
something of a full-circle moment.

The
store offers the full range of Apple products including iPhones, MacBooks,
iPads, Apple Watch, AirPods and Apple Original Accessories. But the focus
is clearly on experience, where the customer can access:

Hands-on
product demos 

Apple-trained
experts for guided purchase decisions 

Assistance
with device setup, data transfer, and troubleshooting 

Multiple
affordability options including instant cashback, no-cost EMI and financing

The
idea is simple to move beyond transactional selling and create a space where
consumers can explore, understand, and make informed decisions.

Swarn
Bajaj, Founder &amp; CEO, P3S
Ventures Pvt. Ltd. said, “This launch is special for us because Moti
Nagar is where our journey had roots nearly a decade ago. Coming back here, at
a time when the neighbourhood is transforming into a premium residential and
commercial hub, feels like a natural progression. At iNvent, we are not just
opening stores, we are building spaces where people can truly understand and
experience Apple products before they buy. For us, it’s about combining
accessibility with the right guidance, so customers can make confident choices.&quot;

Launch
Offers: To mark the opening, iNvent has rolled out
aggressive launch offers across categories:

iPhone
17 (256GB) available at an effective price of INR 74,900


iPhone
Air (256GB) at INR 90,900 after combined benefits 

iPhone
17 Pro Max at INR 1,38,900 

iPhone
16 (128GB) at INR 63,900

Across
categories:

MacBooks:
Flat 12% student discounts + cashback up to INR 7,000 

iPads:
Flat 10% student discounts + cashback up to INR 3,000 

Apple
Watch Ultra 3: Flat INR 10,000 off + cashback up to INR
3,000

AirPods
range: Discounts with additional cashback benefits 

Additionally,
customers can avail exchange bonuses of up to INR 10,000, making
upgrades more accessible.

With
this launch, iNvent continues to build a retail model that makes premium
technology more approachable through guidance, affordability, and a stronger
on-ground presence.

As
the Apple ecosystem continues to grow in India, the real differentiator is no longer
just access to products, but the quality of the buying experience and that’s
where iNvent is clearly placing its bet. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Across India’s dynamic professional landscape, mothers are
redefining strength with resilience, ambition, and grace. From leading
boardrooms and building startups to excelling in creative, healthcare, and
grassroots sectors, they are breaking stereotypes while nurturing both families
and careers. Their journeys reflect not just multitasking, but transformation -
of workplaces, mindsets, and future generations. These women embody
perseverance, adaptability, and purpose, proving that motherhood is not a limitation
but a powerful force of leadership. As they rise across diverse industries,
they inspire a new narrative - one where strength is compassionate, success is
inclusive, and every challenge becomes a stepping stone to greater impact.

Blending heritage with modern purpose, Priyadarshini Raje
Scindia is redefining what it means to lead with intention. As the visionary
behind Aaranya, a conscious luxury label inspired by nature, she curates
thoughtfully crafted fashion and lifestyle pieces that celebrate India’s rich
artisanal heritage while embracing sustainability. The name Aaranya; meaning
‘forest’ and inspired by her children, Mahanaaryaman and Ananya Raje, reflects
both personal roots and a philosophy grounded in growth, continuity, and
mindful living.

Motherhood has been a defining influence in her journey,
shaping her sense of responsibility, perspective, and purpose over the years.
As a mother to two grown children, she brings a deep-rooted understanding of
nurturing, patience, and legacy into her work. Through Aaranya, she champions
artisanal excellence while creating meaningful opportunities for local
communities, especially women artisans, extending the same values of care and
strength beyond her home into a larger social impact.

<title>ABB India posts solid start to CY2026 led by strong demand in Jan&#45;Mar quarter</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/abb-india-posts-solid-start-to-cy2026-led-by-strong-demand-in-jan-mar-quarter</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/abb-india-posts-solid-start-to-cy2026-led-by-strong-demand-in-jan-mar-quarter</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, India – May 9, 2026 : ABB India today announced a strong beginning to the calendar year
2026, marked by robust order momentum and continued revenue growth. For the
first quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company posted a 25 percent
year-on-year increase in orders, totaling ₹4,280 crore, which demonstrates
resilient demand across key industrial segments. During this period, revenues
grew by 6 percent to ₹3,184 crore, while the Profit After Tax stood at ₹342
crore. The company’s executable order backlog has reached ₹11,094 crore,
representing a 17 percent increase compared to the previous year and providing
solid visibility for future performance.

The company&#039;s order intake for the quarter
reflected strong demand conditions, with the Electrification and Motion
businesses delivering robust growth fueled by sustained industrial activity.
This was particularly evident in emerging sectors such as data centers and
renewable energy, alongside steady contributions from railways and metros.
While revenues increased to ₹3,184 crore, profitability was impacted by an
adverse revenue mix, the execution of lower-margin orders, and elevated input
costs amid forex volatility. Additionally, geopolitical tensions in West Asia
led to increased logistics complexity and higher costs.

During the quarter, ABB India also
announced a significant USD 75 million investment aimed at expanding its
manufacturing and R&amp;D capabilities for critical segments including
renewable energy, metro rail, and data centers. Key operational milestones
included the dispatch of the first locally manufactured wind power converter
from the Nelamangala facility, the launch of the ARTU Formula next-generation
low-voltage switchgear platform, and the completion of a major automation and
cybersecurity upgrade for BPCL’s 937km Vadinar–Bina crude pipeline.

“ABB India has built a strong and resilient
foundation, anchored in our product, service and technology capabilities. This
strength was reflected in a solid first quarter of CY2026, with healthy order
traction and revenue growth driven by demand momentum across emerging and core
industries. Our effective conversion of market opportunities into higher order
inflows has further strengthened our diversified order book and enhanced
revenue visibility. Backed by disciplined execution, strong customer engagement
and loyalty to ABB India’s offerings, I am confident in our people and
operating model as we continue to deliver consistent performance. With these
strengths, ABB India is well positioned to capitalise on India’s next
industrial capex cycle, even as we navigate a dynamic operating environment,”
said Sanjeev Sharma, Country Head and Managing Director, ABB India.

Looking ahead, ABB India remains
well-positioned to leverage resilient domestic demand, supported by
government-led investments in infrastructure, grid modernization, and
renewables. As a global technology leader in electrification and automation
with over 140 years of history, ABB continues to enable a more sustainable and
resource-efficient future by connecting engineering and digitalization
expertise to help industries run at high performance.

<title>ConfirmTkt Launches AI Seat Finder, Rolls Out Unconventional Campaign with RCB Players</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/confirmtkt-launches-ai-seat-finder-rolls-out-unconventional-campaign-with-rcb-players</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/confirmtkt-launches-ai-seat-finder-rolls-out-unconventional-campaign-with-rcb-players</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ -The
new conversational AI-powered feature helps train travellers find confirmed
tickets - even when their preferred train is waitlisted; now available in Hindi
and English

-Rolls
out a new campaign with Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Venkatesh Iyer highlighting
AI Seat Finder in action

Gurugram/Bengaluru,
8th May 2026 : ConfirmTkt, India’s leading train-ticketing
platform and the Official Train Ticketing Partner of Royal Challengers
Bengaluru (RCB) for 2026, today announced the launch of AI Seat Finder (powered
by TARA, which is an AI native agent developed by ixigo), an intelligent,
in-app feature designed to help users find confirmed train tickets with ease.

Integrated seamlessly
into the ConfirmTkt app, AI Seat Finder (powered by TARA) is a conversational
AI-powered feature which activates as soon as a user begins searching for
trains, analysing real-time availability to guide them towards the best
possible travel options. It highlights trains with confirmed seats, suggests
train alternatives across routes, boarding points and departure times, and
allows users to interact conversationally with queries such as “Show me
confirmed train tickets after 5 PM” or “Which trains with confirmed seats will
reach the earliest?” In doing so, it transforms what has traditionally been a
fragmented, multi-step and uncertain booking experience into a simple, guided
journey.

In a category where
millions of users drop off due to waitlists or lack of clarity, AI Seat Finder
(powered by TARA) introduces a fundamentally new and innovative way to discover
and book train tickets. By combining real-time data with conversational AI, it
removes the guesswork from the process and makes finding a confirmed train seat
faster, more intuitive and significantly more seamless for travellers across
India. 

Available in Hindi and
English, the feature is designed to serve travellers across India, including
those in non-metro and high train-traffic regions.

The launch is amplified
by ConfirmTkt’s new campaign, ‘Talk
Travel Repeat – AI Seat Finder Dilayega Seat’, as
it marks its third consecutive year as the Official Train Ticketing Partner of
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The campaign comes alive through a
high-energy, humour-led ad film featuring RCB players Virat Kohli, Rajat
Patidar and Venkatesh Iyer highlighting AI Seat Finder and how it is making it
easier for train travellers to find confirmed tickets or same train alternate
options. The campaign will be amplified across television, digital platforms,
social media, and in-stadium integrations throughout the season, extending
across digital, social, OOH and PR.

Commenting on the
launch, Dinesh Kumar Kotha, CEO, ConfirmTkt &amp; ixigo Trains, said, “Getting
a confirmed train ticket in India has always involved a degree of uncertainty
and effort. With AI Seat Finder (powered by TARA), we are reimagining this
experience by making it conversational and outcome-driven. Instead of
navigating multiple options and screens, users can now simply express their
intent and let the app guide them to the best possible journey. This is a
significant step in our vision of building an AI-first travel experience that
is simpler, more accessible and truly built around the needs of Indian
travellers. We’re also excited to continue our partnership with RCB for the
third year, bringing this innovation to millions of fans during the cricket
season.”

<description><![CDATA[  

India’s commercial EV ecosystem is steadily evolving from
early-stage adoption towards larger-scale deployment, particularly within
logistics and fleet operations. The EV Fleet &amp; Logistics Forum 2026, hosted
by EV Update Media, brought together stakeholders from across the EV value
chain to discuss financing, infrastructure, operational challenges, and the
future of sustainable mobility in India.

Which Industry Leaders and EV Companies Participated in the
Forum?

The forum brought together key players from across the EV
value chain, including EV manufacturers, fleet operators, and financiers. Some
notable participants included:

●     
Ms Alpna Jain - Co-Founder &amp;
Chief Business Officer, Drivn Transition Pvt Ltd

Among the
participating leaders, Alpna Jain, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at Drivn Transition
Pvt Ltd, contributed valuable insights during discussions on commercial EV
adoption, financing models, and operational scalability. Her presence at the
forum underscored the critical role of EV fleet logistics companies in India,
as they continue to shape conversations around sustainable fleet deployment and
infrastructure readiness.

The forum also reflected the industry’s shift towards
building a commercially viable EV ecosystem. Rather than focusing solely on
vehicle adoption, discussions are increasingly centred on infrastructure
integration, operational efficiency, and leasing-led deployment models.

What Key EV Fleet Solutions Trends Were Discussed During the
Event?

A major focus area at the forum was the changing nature of
EV fleet financing and operations in India. Industry experts discussed how
conventional underwriting methods are gradually evolving due to factors such as
battery lifecycle management, residual value uncertainty, telematics-based
performance tracking, and fleet utilisation analytics.

The discussions also reflected how EV fleet solutions
are becoming more integrated, with companies increasingly focusing on leasing
models, charging infrastructure support, route optimisation, and operational
efficiency alongside vehicle deployment.

  support
  
 
 
  
  Logistics Adoption
  
  
  Stronger EV adoption across last-mile and intra-city
  logistics
  
 


Another
important discussion point was the role of capital markets and institutional
investments in accelerating EV adoption. Participants highlighted how platforms
such as NSE India and NSE Emerge could support EV-focused companies seeking
access to long-term growth capital.

Why Is the EV Fleet &amp; Logistics Forum Important for
India’s EV Ecosystem?

The forum illustrated how India’s EV ecosystem is evolving
from isolated efforts to a connected, collaborative industry, with key players
from across financing, infrastructure, logistics, software, and fleet
operations joining forces to solve scalability and operational challenges. 

For EV fleet companies in India,
such as Drivn Transition Pvt Ltd, represented by Alpna Jain, the forum provided
invaluable opportunities to share insights on EV adoption, discuss best
practices in financing models, and explore long-term growth avenues. It was not
just a chance for Drivn, but for all participants, to align on common objectives,
collectively address industry challenges, and accelerate the journey towards a
sustainable, greener future for India’s logistics sector.

Summary

The EV Fleet &amp; Logistics Forum 2026 highlighted the
growing maturity of India’s commercial EV sector, particularly within logistics
and fleet operations. With stronger financing discussions, increasing
collaboration across the ecosystem, and rising interest in scalable EV fleet
solutions, the industry is steadily moving towards broader commercial adoption
across India’s mobility landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lifespan of an EV battery?

The lifespan of an EV battery generally ranges between 8 and
15 years, depending on vehicle usage, charging patterns, driving conditions,
and battery management systems. Advancements in battery technology and thermal
management are also helping improve long-term battery performance and
efficiency.

Why is financing important for EV fleet solutions?

Financing plays an important role in EV fleet solutions
because commercial electric vehicles often involve higher upfront costs
compared to conventional vehicles. Structured financing models, leasing
options, and green funding support help fleet operators adopt EVs while
managing operational expenses and long-term scalability.

What challenges do EV fleet companies in India face?

EV fleet companies in India continue to face challenges
related to charging infrastructure expansion, battery lifecycle management,
standardisation, and financing structures. Companies such as Drivn Transition
Pvt Ltd are part of the growing ecosystem working towards scalable EV fleet
solutions that address operational efficiency and long-term commercial
adoption.

L’ORÉAL
PARIS, FESTIVAL DE CANNES PARTNER FOR THE PAST 29 YEARS REAFFIRMS ITS
LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING WOMEN IN CINEMA

INDIA,
8th May 2026 : L&#039;Oréal Paris, the world’s No. 1 beauty
brand, proudly returns as the Official Beauty Partner of the Festival de Cannes
for the 29th consecutive year, reaffirming its longstanding commitment to
celebrating women’s empowerment, inclusivity and self-worth on one of the
world’s most iconic global stages. Held from 12th May to 23rd
May 2026, this year’s Festival once again brings together cinema, culture and
beauty in a powerful tribute to female voices and representation worldwide. The
world’s leading beauty brand also presents the sixth edition of the L’Oréal
Paris Lights on Women’s Worth Award, with actress and L’Oréal Paris ambassador
Gillian Anderson as the Juror.

Representing
India at this year’s Festival de Cannes are L&#039;Oréal Paris ambassadors - Aishwarya
Rai Bachchan, Alia Bhatt and Aditi Rao Hydari each embodying a
distinct expression of confidence, ambition and individuality. Together, they
reflect the rising prominence of Indian talent on the international stage while
reinforcing L&#039;Oréal Paris’ vision of championing women who inspire through both
achievement and authenticity.

Indian
actor, producer, and entrepreneur Alia Bhatt is
returning to Cannes in her role as Global Ambassador for L’Oréal Paris for the
second consecutive year. Speaking about her return to the Festival, Alia said, &quot;It
feels incredibly special to return to Cannes with L’Oréal Paris for the second
time. Last year was such an unforgettable experience and I am truly excited to
be back for what feels like an even bigger celebration this year. There is a
beautiful energy here, one of sisterhood and the celebration of female voices,
and it is a privilege to be part of this journey with a brand that so strongly
champions women’s worth and empowerment.&quot;

This
year, Aditi Rao Hydari’s Cannes presence adds a fresh layer to India’s global
story, reflecting a blend of aspiration, elegance, and confident
self-expression that goes beyond cinema.

Speaking
about her Cannes journey, Aditi Rao Hydari said, &quot;I am honoured
to represent L&#039;Oréal Paris at the Festival de Cannes. For me, true beauty lies
in embracing who you are unapologetically and owning your individuality with
confidence. Cannes is such an iconic global platform, and being part of this
journey with a brand that has consistently championed women’s empowerment makes
it incredibly meaningful. I believe every woman deserves to feel seen, valued
and worthy and that message resonates deeply with me.&quot;

Further
commenting on this year’s participation, Dario Zizzi, General Manager, L&#039;Oréal
Paris India, said: &quot;Twenty-nine years at Cannes has shown us
how profoundly this stage can amplify voices that deserve to be heard globally.
This year feels particularly meaningful with Indian creativity and beauty
reflected on the world&#039;s most iconic red carpet is a testament to how far we&#039;ve
come together. For L&#039;Oréal Paris, Cannes has never just been about glamour;
it&#039;s about championing the women who are rewriting the rules of culture, cinema
and beauty on their own terms”

As
part of a strategic collaboration, L’Oréal Paris has partnered with the Indian
beauty e-commerce platform Nykaa as its “Beauty Partner” in India this year.
Through this partnership, Nykaa is bringing the glamour of Cannes to the Indian

<title>thefinebox launches nickel&#45;safe jewelry in India with a promise of affordable luxury, quality craftsmanship and accessibility</title>

<description><![CDATA[ NEW DELHI
May 8, 2026 :  thefinebox, India&#039;s first accessible jewelry brand built entirely on
certified skin-safe materials, has officially launched with a mission to end
what its founder calls the industry&#039;s most persistent silence: the undisclosed
use of nickel in everyday gold-plated jewelry. The brand offers two certified
materials — 925 hallmarked sterling silver and 18k gold vermeil over sterling
silver — both completely nickel-safe, and backed by a one-year wear warranty; a
first in India&#039;s accessible jewelry market.

India has questioned fast fashion,
scrutinised skincare ingredients, and led one of the world&#039;s most active
conversations on lab-grown diamonds. Yet jewelry — worn against the skin every
single day — has remained exempt from scrutiny. Most accessible jewelry sold
across India uses nickel-based alloy as its base metal beneath a thin gold
plating. Nickel is one of the most common contact allergens in the world. The
resulting rashes have long gone unnamed, undiagnosed, and unreported — women
blaming themselves for sensitive skin, when the cause was in the metal.

thefinebox addresses this with gold vermeil — pronounced ver-may — the
global standard for accessible fine jewelry, widely available across Europe and
North America, and now introduced to India&#039;s accessible market for the first
time. Vermeil is defined as 18k gold plated over a hallmarked sterling silver
base. The result is jewelry that meets international skin-safety standards,
lasts significantly longer than conventional plated pieces, and carries a
warranty the industry has never offered.

Material
Standard: Industry vs. thefinebox








Most Indian Brands

●      
Material:
Uses thin gold plating over a nickel alloy base.

●      
Skin
Safety: Often contains nickel, which is a very common skin allergen that can
cause irritation or rashes.

●      
Longevity:
Typically comes with no warranty, meaning if the plating fades or breaks,
you&#039;re on your own.

thefinebox

●      
Material:
Uses 18k gold vermeil (a significantly thicker layer of gold) over 925
hallmarked sterling silver.

●      
Skin
Safety: Guaranteed 100% nickel-safe, making it ideal for those with sensitive
skin or metal allergies.

●      
Longevity:
Includes a 1-year wear warranty, offering peace of mind regarding the
durability of the finish.

 

 

“I grew up in a village where
jewelry sat behind glass — for other people. I moved to Canada at 19 with
nothing, built franchises, real estate, and Michelin-recognised restaurants.

Through every industry, the
question was always the same: what does this person deserve? When I got into
manufacturing, I saw what the jewelry industry had quietly chosen — nickel
alloys, thin plating, no accountability. Women were getting rashes and blaming
themselves. India’s young women question everything now — except what touches
their skin every day. That ends with thefinebox.”

— Mitul Kakadiya, Founder,
thefinebox

 

About
the Founder

Mitul Kakadiya was raised beside
Gujarat’s Gir forest. At 19, he left India to build a future across
franchising, manufacturing, and hospitality in Canada, earning the Michelin Bib
Gourmand recognition consecutively in 2022 and 2023. thefinebox marks his
return to India with a single conviction: quality is not a luxury — it is a
right.

 

Collections:
Design Built on Meaning

thefinebox launches with six
collections across three distinct design philosophies, each developed to move
away from trend-chasing and toward enduring intention:

•  Sculptural &amp; Statement: Architectural forms, bold ear
cuffs, and oversized pendants designed to command a room.

•  Nature-Led &amp; Symbolic: Dragonflies, birthstones, and
botanicals. Designs rooted in nature, which does not follow trends.

•  Everyday Essentials: Clean, stackable, quietly distinctive
pieces — the kind she forgets she is wearing, until someone asks.

 

About
thefinebox

thefinebox is India’s first
accessible jewelry brand built on 925 hallmarked sterling silver and 18k gold
vermeil. All pieces are 100% nickel-safe and carry a one-year wear warranty.
The brand operates under the philosophy “Honestly Flawed, Perfectly Fine” — a
commitment to radical material transparency in a category that has long avoided
it. thefinebox is available exclusively online at thefinebox.com.

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, India — May 07, 2026 : Innefu Labs, an AI-driven company providing
cutting edge Data Analytics and Information Security solutions to National
Security agencies, today announced its empanelment with the National
e-Governance Division (NeGD) under the Government of India’s flagship Digital
India programme. Innefu Labs has been selected among only 6 agencies
shortlisted from over 80 applicants, marking a significant milestone in its
mission to drive large-scale AI innovation for governance.

As part of its broader
vision to strengthen digital governance, the National e-Governance Division
(NeGD) is advancing a structured approach to harness Artificial Intelligence
(AI) and Machine Learning (ML) across ministries and departments. The
initiative focuses on building a dedicated ecosystem to address AI-driven
problem statements through empanelled partners who can provide qualified AI/ML
manpower and support implementation across key domains such as natural language
processing, computer vision, predictive analytics, and generative AI. By enabling
standardized engagement models and transparent resource deployment, this effort
aims to create a national framework that accelerates AI adoption while ensuring
consistency, scalability, and efficiency across government projects.

As an empanelled partner,
Innefu Labs will contribute to building a future-ready AI enablement framework
aligned with national priorities. The company will support government entities
with highly skilled AI/ML professionals, including AI architects, data
scientists, ML engineers, and MLOps specialists, enabling faster deployment of
AI-driven solutions across critical domains.

&quot;Being empanelled
by NeGD is not just a business milestone, it&#039;s a recognition of fifteen years
of work building AI systems that operate in some of the most demanding and
sensitive environments in the country,” commented Tarun Wig, Co-founder and
CEO, Innefu Labs. “We have built intelligence fusion platforms for national
security agencies, predictive analytics systems for law enforcement, financial
fraud detection tools for tax authorities, and much more. This empanelment
tells us that the same rigour, the same commitment to security and
accountability, and the same belief in sovereign indigenous AI capability is
exactly what India&#039;s governance systems need as they scale their AI adoption.
We are honoured to contribute to that mission.&quot;

Founded in 2010, Innefu
Labs has built a track record of deploying AI at scale across some of India&#039;s
most critical institutions. Key deployments include the largest Intelligence
Fusion Centre in Southeast Asia, the National Terrorism Data Fusion and
Analysis Centre, OSINT and facial recognition platforms for various law
enforcement agencies, predictive policing infrastructure for the Ahmedabad Safe
City initiative, and advanced financial analytics tools for financial
intelligence agencies.

The NeGD empanelment
framework is designed to eliminate the friction of repeated, time-consuming
procurement processes for government agencies seeking AI solutions. Central
ministries, state governments, and PSUs can now access Innefu&#039;s AI capabilities
and manpower through a streamlined, pre-approved mechanism, either through NeGD
facilitation or directly at the standardised rates discovered under this
framework, accelerating deployment timelines while maintaining the security,
compliance, and responsible AI standards that government systems demand.

<title>This summer, PLAY gets an upgrade: The LEGO Playground returns for its fifth edition</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/this-summer-play-gets-an-upgrade-the-lego-playground-returns-for-its-fifth-edition</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/this-summer-play-gets-an-upgrade-the-lego-playground-returns-for-its-fifth-edition</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

MUMBAI,
INDIA, MAY 07, 2026 : This summer, playtime takes on a whole new
dimension, brick by brick. The fifth edition of the LEGO Playground is coming
to malls across Ahmedabad, Pune, Hyderabad, Lucknow, and Gurgaon, bringing
unique LEGO play experiences for children aged 5 to 14.

Built
around the idea that play unlocks something incredible within every child, the
LEGO Playground 2026 invites young explorers to journey through five distinct
skill-based zones, each championing a future-ready skill: Resilience,
Problem-Solving, Creativity, Curiosity, and Social Skills. 

Launching
in Ahmedabad for the first time ever, the event will kick off at Nexus Alpha
One Mall. The Playground will then travel to Mall of Millennium, Pune; Inorbit
Mall, Hyderabad; and Phoenix Palassio, Lucknow, before concluding its 2026 run
at Ambience Mall, Gurgaon. The multi-city event will run from 8th May to the
end of June.

Here
is a glimpse into the adventure that awaits: 

●     
Brick Balance: A
counterweight challenge invites children to balance a see-saw, putting their
focus, patience, and perseverance to the test.

●     
Brick Mix: A
“playful” test of problem-solving where the first cube reveals a mystery
challenge, and the second and third reveal two numbers. Children add them up to
find the minimum number of LEGO bricks they need to build their solution with.

●     
Brick Seek:
Armed with a Flash Card featuring a mystery animal, young participants must
hunt through discovery boxes to find the right pieces and assemble their
creature on the activity table.

●     
Brick Carousel:
Children get to design and build their own garden-themed creations and place
them proudly on a rotating carousel for the world to admire.

●     
Speed Build:
Participants team up to race against the clock, taking turns to build a shared
creation while aiming to clock the fastest time of the day. 

Every
challenge completed earns a Play Skills stamp in the Champion&#039;s Playbook. Once
all five are collected, children head to the centrepiece of the entire
Playground: the magnificent Tower of Play, where they assemble a
personalised LEGO minifigure that represents the champion they&#039;ve become, and
place it proudly at the tower&#039;s base as a testament to their journey.

Speaking
about the experience, Bhavana Mandon, Country Manager, The LEGO Group, India,
said “At The LEGO Group, we believe play is one
of the most powerful forces in helping children learn, grow, and discover who
they are. The LEGO Playground brings this belief to life at scale, creating a
space that is joyful, immersive, and purposeful. Every experience is designed to
go beyond just building with bricks, encouraging children to develop
resilience, creativity, and the ability to problem-solve and collaborate. And
it is these qualities, nurtured through play, that will shape the builders of
tomorrow.&quot;

As
a special bonus, families who purchase LEGO sets worth ₹3,000 and above at the
event location will receive an exclusive free gift, available only on-site. 

Tickets
are now available on BookMyShow! Don&#039;t miss the chance to watch your child
build their own story, brick by brick.

technology converts unsorted waste into Automotive-Grade Fuels

In a major step towards “Atmanirbhar Bharat

breakthrough converting unwashed, unsorted and difficult-to-recycle plastic
waste into automotive-grade fuels like diesel, petrol, kerosene and valuable
chemicals.

Today, plastic waste continues to pile up
in landfills and oceans while countries continue to heavily depend on imported
crude oil. This innovation offers a simple yet powerful idea: instead of
discarding plastic, convert it into energy – reducing air, water, land and
ocean pollution supporting energy independence.

This technology is developed by an Indian
Scientist and his team, supporting the vision of The Honourable Prime Minister
of India towards Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat 2047 (India@100) and
demonstrates how Bharat is now ready to solve global problems - from land
decontamination to tackling plastic islands and ocean pollution.

A Departure from Conventional Methods

At the core of HVPL’s solution is a
depolymerisation process. Unlike traditional methods like incineration or
catalytic pyrolysis, which rely on combustion and often release harmful
emissions, HVPL’s system operates as a closed-loop, pollution-free platform.

The technology achieves complete mass
balance, ensuring that every unit of plastic waste fed into the system is
converted into usable output. Remarkably, the process requires no catalysts and
generates no secondary waste streams, making it a &quot;clean&quot; alternative
to existing industrial recycling practices.

HVPL is not merely a waste management
solution, it is a company that converts plastic waste into automotive grade
fuels reducing India’s dependence on crude oil imports and contributing to the
national economy.

Solving the &#039;Unsorted&#039; Waste Problem

One of the biggest barriers to global
plastic recycling is the requirement for pre-segregated or homogeneous
feedstock. Most current technologies fail when faced with the dirty, mixed and
contaminated plastics found in municipal landfills. HVPL’s technology is
designed to solve this problem.

This company breaks this barrier by being
technology engineered specifically to handle heterogeneous waste streams. This
capability is particularly vital for developing economies like India, where
waste segregation at the source remains a logistical challenge. By processing
low-value and landfill-derived plastics, the technology transforms what was
once considered a liability into high-quality fuels, specialty chemicals and
hydrocarbon products.

The technology is advanced enough to
operate without burning plastic or any other material. It runs at room pressure
without any noise, without releasing any harmful emissions and without wasting
any water during the process—ensuring a clean, controlled and
environment-friendly processing of plastic.

Scalability and Energy Efficiency

The system’s modular design allows flexible
deployment ranging from small decentralized units in rural and urban areas of
India to large-scale industrial facilities globally. Moreover, the process is
&quot;energy-positive&quot; meaning the energy produced from the resulting
outputs significantly exceeds the energy required to run the operation.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF HVPL


 Patented Thermal Depolymerisation:
     Zero-combustion, catalyst-free process.
 Versatile Feedstock: Handles
     unsorted and contaminated mixed plastics.
 Energy Positive: Output energy
     exceeds operational input.
 Circular Economy: Converts waste
     into fuels and industrial chemicals, achieving a 100% mass balance.


The company has commenced its commercial
operations and in a short span, established a global footprint by obtaining a
license from the Australian Government to operate 150 TPD facility. By bridging
the gap between indigenous innovation and sustainable development goals, HVPL
is setting a new standard for how technology can foster a climate‑positive
future while simultaneously driving economic growth.

<title>A Multi&#45;Domain Leader Steps into the Sporting Arena: Tapan Acharya and the Rise of Rowing in India</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/a-multi-domain-leader-steps-into-the-sporting-arena-tapan-acharya-and-the-rise-of-rowing-in-india</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/a-multi-domain-leader-steps-into-the-sporting-arena-tapan-acharya-and-the-rise-of-rowing-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi : In an increasingly specialized professional world, Tapan
Acharya presents a contrasting narrative—one that moves across industries
with calculated balance. Recognized as one of the influential personalities
in Goa, he has built a career spanning filmmaking, real estate,
hospitality, and animation &amp; VFX. His journey reflects how influential
personalities in Goa are shaping multiple industries with vision and
leadership.

 

With a profile that combines creative insight with
entrepreneurial execution, Tapan Acharya has steadily emerged as a
prominent personality in Goa. His work has largely focused on developing
platforms—whether in business or creative ecosystems—while maintaining a strong
connection with grassroots engagement. This consistent presence has also earned
him recognition among the prominent personalities in films and business
circles.

 

In recent years, this multi-industry experience has extended
into the sporting domain, where Tapan Acharya has taken on a key
administrative role in rowing. His entry into sports has strengthened his
reputation as a prominent personality in sports, bringing fresh
perspective and practical leadership into a developing discipline.

 

Understanding Rowing: A Sport Finding Its Space in India

 

Rowing, one of the oldest Olympic sports, is centered on
strength, endurance, and synchronized team effort. Traditionally practiced on
rivers and lakes, the sport has evolved globally with the introduction of
coastal formats such as Beach Sprint Rowing—shorter, faster races designed to
suit modern audiences and challenging water conditions.

 

In India, rowing has historically remained limited in
visibility compared to mainstream sports. However, the landscape is gradually
changing. With increasing institutional support, improved infrastructure, and
exposure to international formats, the sport is beginning to attract attention
among young athletes. Coastal states, in particular, offer natural advantages
for the expansion of rowing, especially in its newer formats.

 

Despite this potential, challenges remain—ranging from
limited awareness and training facilities to the need for structured grassroots
programs. It is within this evolving environment that leaders like Tapan
Acharya are stepping forward. As one of the influential personalities in
Goa, his focus on opportunity creation is being closely observed.

 

From Election to Execution: Tapan Acharya’s Role in Rowing

 

Tapan Acharya’s entry
into rowing administration came through his election as President of the Rowing
&amp; Sculling Association of Goa. His involvement marked a shift towards
integrating planning, infrastructure, and outreach in the state’s rowing
ecosystem. His appointment further highlighted him as a prominent
personality in sports with a clear development-driven approach.

 

One of the key developments during his tenure has been
the hosting of India’s first Beach Sprint National Rowing Championship in Goa.
The event introduced athletes and audiences to a globally recognized coastal
format while demonstrating the feasibility of organizing such competitions
along India’s coastline. This achievement added another milestone to the
journey of Tapan Acharya, already known among prominent personalities
in Goa.

 

His approach has largely been practical—focusing on utilizing
existing natural resources like Goa’s beaches, aligning with national and
international sporting formats, and encouraging local participation. Observers
note that the emphasis has been on creating entry points for young athletes,
rather than limiting the sport to elite competition. Such initiatives continue
to strengthen his image as a prominent personality in sports.

 

At the same time, Tapan Acharya continues to remain
active in his other professional sectors. His experience in filmmaking and animation
contributes to how the sport is presented and communicated, while his
background in real estate and hospitality aligns with logistical and
infrastructure needs. This overlap of skills has influenced a more integrated
approach to sports administration. It is also why many consider him among the prominent
personalities in films who successfully diversified into public leadership.

 

A Journey Shaped by Diverse Foundations

 

The trajectory of Tapan Acharya’s career reflects a
gradual and layered progression. Beginning in filmmaking, he developed a
foundation in storytelling and creative collaboration. This phase later
expanded into animation and VFX, aligning with the technological evolution of
content creation. These accomplishments placed him among the prominent
personalities in films who embraced innovation early.

 

Parallel to his creative pursuits, he established
himself in real estate and hospitality—sectors that demanded operational
discipline and long-term planning. These experiences contributed to a broader
understanding of infrastructure, management, and regional development. Such
versatility is why Tapan Acharya is frequently regarded as one of the influential
personalities in Goa.

 

His transition into sports administration, particularly
rowing, can be seen as an extension of this journey—where earlier experiences
in building systems and engaging communities are now applied to a developing
sport. Today, his growing role continues to define him as a prominent
personality in sports with long-term vision.

 

As rowing continues to find its footing in India, the
involvement of professionals from diverse backgrounds adds a new dimension to
its growth. Tapan Acharya, counted among the prominent personalities
in Goa, reflects this intersection—where varied experiences converge to
shape emerging opportunities in the country’s sporting landscape. ]]></description>

<title>Koosia launches in India to bring function&#45;first luxury to modern handbags</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/koosia-launches-in-india-to-bring-function-first-luxury-to-modern-handbags</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/koosia-launches-in-india-to-bring-function-first-luxury-to-modern-handbags</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, India:
The Indian handbag market has no shortage of options. What it lacks is honesty.Most handbags are built
to look good for a moment, not to support a woman through her day. They
prioritise trends over function, logos over usefulness, and aesthetics over the
realities of modern life. Koosia,
a new Indian direct-to-consumer handbag brand, is launching to challenge that
norm head-on. It positions itself in a largely ignored middle space accessible
luxury handbags designed around real life, not runway fantasy.

Founded by Ekta Agarwal
and Priyanka, Koosia is built on a clear motive: to design handbags that work
as hard as the women who carry them.

“Women don’t live
single-moment lives,” says co-founder Ekta Agarwal. “We move between roles
constantly, work, travel, family, personal time, and yet handbags are designed
as if we exist in one scene at a time. That disconnect is what we wanted to
address.”

The idea for Koosia
came from lived experience rather than trend forecasting. Ekta grew up seeing
how one dependable handbag could quietly support a woman through daily life. As
she moved through different phases herself, she noticed the same reliance
remain, what mattered was not decoration, but certainty.

Priyanka reached the
same understanding through exposure to different cultures. Having lived and
studied across Europe and travelled extensively, she observed how women
everywhere chose bags based on purpose rather than popularity. A moment during
international travel, when she realised she had left her handbag behind, reinforced
how deeply women rely on their bags as personal systems of readiness.

That shared
understanding became Koosia’s foundation.

Koosia designs handbags
around this belief. Each piece is created to function as a structured,
dependable companion, balancing form, space, and flexibility, so women don’t
have to constantly switch bags or compromise between style and usability. The
brand uses vegan leather and focuses on durability, intuitive organisation, and
calm, understated design.

In a market where many
“branded” handbags rely heavily on borrowed icons, Koosia takes a different
approach. Every bag is originally designed from the ground up, with careful
attention to silhouette, proportions, detailing, and everyday usability, moving
away from copy culture and closer to true design culture.

“We’re not chasing
trends or building ‘occasion bags,’” the founders explain. “We’re building
everyday tools that quietly support women through complex, layered lives.”

This philosophy extends
to pricing as well. Koosia avoids inflated brand markups, focusing instead on
high-quality materials, strong fittings, premium finishes, and thoughtful
construction, offering value rooted in substance rather than hype.

The brand also follows
limited, controlled production runs, prioritising design integrity and
uniqueness over mass production. By keeping quantities intentional, Koosia
ensures its designs do not feel common, while maintaining consistency and
quality across every piece.

In a market dominated
by fast fashion on one end and aspirational luxury on the other, Koosia
positions itself deliberately in between, accessible luxury with intent. The
brand also aims to shift how Indian handbag brands are perceived globally: not
as imitators, but as original, design-led, purpose-driven creators.

While Koosia currently
works with global manufacturing partners to meet strict quality benchmarks, its
long-term vision includes building design-led manufacturing capabilities in
India, without compromising on quality.

Looking ahead, the
brand is exploring how technology can quietly enhance everyday handbags,
through features that improve security and traceability, while keeping design
simple and intentional.

Koosia is now available
online, marking the start of a brand that believes women deserve products that
understand them, not just decorate them.

About
Koosia

Founded in 2025, Koosia is an Indian direct-to-consumer handbag brand
founded by Ekta Agarwal and Priyanka. Built on a women-to-women philosophy, the
brand designs vegan leather handbags that prioritise functionality, original
design, and emotional relevance. Koosia focuses on limited production and
honest pricing, creating handbags designed to support women across different
phases of life. ]]></description>

<title>Surprise Visit! Gujarat Titans Stars Drop in on HCG Cancer Survivors to Honor Their Fight</title>

<description><![CDATA[  Champions on the
field, supporters at heart. Standing together with cancer patients at HCG -
because every moment of encouragement counts.

Ahmedabad, India | 7th May,
2026 : In the middle of the high-intensity,
players from the Gujarat Titans took a meaningful pause from the field to
engage in a different kind of battle—the fight against cancer.

In a unique collaboration with HealthCare
Global Enterprises Ltd. (HCG), India’s largest dedicated cancer care network,
members of the franchise surprised patients and long-term survivors at HCG
Aastha Cancer Centre, Ahmedabad. What began as a routine day of treatment
transformed into an uplifting experience, as players spent time listening to
patient journeys, sharing conversations, and offering encouragement.

Moving beyond traditional meet-and-greet
formats, the interaction focused on genuine human connection—bringing moments
of normalcy, joy, and inspiration to individuals navigating physically and
emotionally demanding cancer treatments.

“Medicine treats the disease, but
moments like these help heal the spirit,” said Dr. Manish Mattoo, Executive
Director &amp; CEO, Healthcare Global Enterprises, Ltd. “The presence of the Gujarat Titans created a sense of
collective encouragement. It reinforces an important truth in oncology that
recovery is not just clinical, but deeply emotional. At HCG, we are committed
to building an ecosystem where care extends beyond treatment into support,
resilience, and human connection.”

The visit is part of HCG’s broader approach
to cancer care, which integrates clinical excellence with emotional and
psychological well-being—an area gaining increasing recognition globally as a
critical component of patient outcomes.

For many patients, particularly younger
individuals, the interaction offered a rare break from the clinical environment
allowing them to reconnect with a sense of normalcy and optimism.

“You can visibly see the shift in
patients when they experience unexpected moments of joy,” said Dr. Bharat
Gadhavi, Regional Director, HCG Hospitals Gujarat &amp; Rajasthan. “Cancer treatment can be exhausting, both mentally and physically.
Interactions like these especially with figures they admire help ease anxiety
and build renewed strength alongside medical care.”

Executing such an initiative within an
active oncology environment requires careful coordination and sensitivity.

“This was not just a visit it was a
thoughtfully planned experience,” said Sudarshan Bhamare, Chief Operating
Officer, HCG Aastha Cancer Centre, Ahmedabad. “The
Gujarat Titans players were extremely mindful and empathetic in their
interactions. The focus was always on the patients, their comfort, and their
journey.”

As healthcare continues to evolve, such
collaborations signal a broader shift—where institutions and communities come
together to address not just the disease, but the human experience of healing.

HCG Aastha Cancer Centre, Ahmedabad

<title>&amp;apos;Running Is Not Just a Sport — It Is the Most Honest Conversation You Will Ever Have With Yourself&amp;apos;</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Sufiya Sufi Runner
recently broke her own Guinness World Record on the Manali–Leh route. On May
12, she begins her most ambitious undertaking yet — 5,000 km from Kanyakumari
to Karakoram Pass, a tribute to the Indian Armed Forces. We sat down with her
to understand what running really is, and what it demands of the person who
stays with it long enough.

Everyone
starts running for the same reason: fitness, weight loss, a doctor&#039;s advice.
Where did it begin for you, and where did it take you?

For me, it all began
with frustration.

I
was stuck in a robotic airport routine, living the same day again and again,
searching for a way out. I didn’t start running with big dreams—I just started
with 3 km in a park, looking for a little fitness and a little peace.

But
something changed.

Running
became my form of meditation. With every step, I could feel a shift within
myself—mentally, emotionally, physically. I kept showing up every day, not
knowing where it would lead.

And somewhere along the way, it stopped being
just a habit. It became my passion.

It
became my purpose.

It took me to heights I never imagined—into
the world of ultra running. And I never stopped.

You&#039;ve described
running as the most honest conversation you&#039;ll ever have with yourself. What
does that mean?

When I started, I
wasn’t chasing distance or records—I was searching for a purpose. I needed
something that could bring me peace, especially mentally.

And
running gave me that.

With every step, there are no distractions, no
noise—just me and my thoughts. It feels like meditation in motion, where I
connect with myself on a deeper level.

Out
there, I can’t hide. I face my doubts, my fears, my strength—everything. And in
that silence, I find clarity.

India&#039;s top CEOs and
founders are increasingly turning to running. Why do you think

that is?

And
I think there’s a simple reason behind it.

Running
is one of the purest sports—there’s no dependency, no complex setup. You don’t
need a team, a ground, or special resources. It’s just you, your running shoes,
and the open road.

For
people leading intense professional lives, every day can become a fixed
routine—meetings, decisions, pressure. Running gives that space.

It
clears your mind, brings you back to yourself, and creates a sense of freedom
that’s hard to find anywhere else. Out there, titles don’t matter—everyone is
just a runner.

And
the most beautiful part is this: once you truly start enjoying every step, every
breath, every moment—you don’t want to stop.

It stops being just
exercise. It becomes a part of who you are.

You often say the
fitness fades, but the resilience doesn&#039;t. Can you explain that?

For
me, “fitness fades, but resilience doesn’t” comes from everything I have lived
through on the road.

Fitness
is temporary. It goes up and down—injuries happen, fatigue builds, the body has
limits. There are days when the pace drops, when the legs feel heavy, when the
body simply doesn’t respond.

But
resilience is different.

Resilience
is what makes me show up again the next day. It’s what keeps me moving when I
am already exhausted, when conditions are harsh, when nothing feels easy. It’s
built through every early morning, every long kilometre, every moment where quitting
feels like an option—but she chooses to continue.

In
my journey—from starting with just 3 km runs to taking on extreme endurance
challenges across countries—fitness helped me begin.

But
resilience is what kept me going.

Because at the highest level of endurance,
it’s never just about how strong your body is. It’s about how strong your mind
becomes when your body starts to give up.

And
that strength doesn’t fade.

On May 12, you begin a
5,000 km run from Kanyakumari to Karakoram — the first civilian to attempt this
route. Is this about a sixth Guinness World Record?

It has always been my
dream to run on the Karakoram. And now, I finally have the opportunity to turn
that dream into reality through this 5000 km journey from Kanyakumari to
Karakoram.

Yes,
this attempt is also for my sixth Guinness World Record—but for me, it’s more
than just a record.

Every
time I take on a high-altitude challenge, it’s my way of paying tribute to the
Indian Armed Forces. What we call an “adventure,” they live every single day in
the harshest conditions, at extreme altitudes, far away from their families.

We
can run for passion. They stand there for the nation. Through this run, I carry
both my dream and my respect.

This
journey is not just about breaking records, it’s about running with purpose,
pride, and gratitude for the country.

You will be the first
Indian to touch Karakoram . What does that mean to you?

Starting
from Kanyakumari and finishing at the Karakoram - it gives me goosebumps every
time I think about it.

From
the southern edge of India to one of the highest, toughest points in the
country… it’s not just a run, it’s a complete journey across extremes.

By
the time I reach Karakoram, I know my body will be completely drained. I can’t
even imagine the level of exhaustion—but this will be the first time I finish a
run at 18,000 feet, in the lap of the Karakoram range.

That
thought alone fascinates me.

It’s
not just about reaching the destination. It’s about what it represents.

Running
across the entire country, pushing beyond limits, and finishing where very few
can even stand—it’s a matter of pride.

Running
for the country. Running for a dream.

What is the one thing
you want every Indian to take away from this run?

If
there’s one thing I want every Indian to take away from this run, it’s
this—step out of your own limits.

We
all live inside boundaries we create in our minds. But the moment you break
that shell, everything changes.

With
a positive mindset, hard work, self-belief, and unbreakable faith, you can
reach heights you never even imagined.

That’s
exactly what happened with me. I just kept believing, kept showing up, and kept
breaking my own limits.

And
beyond personal success, I want people to feel pride in our country.

Because
serving the nation isn’t only about wearing a uniform - it’s also about being a
responsible, strong, and positive citizen.

If
we all grow, we all rise—together as a nation.

Last question — what do
you want someone who just started running to know?

To
anyone who has just started running, I’d say this - Start slow and build
gradually. There’s no rush.

Run
for yourself, not for anyone else. Keep a positive mindset and allow the
process to unfold.

Running
has a way of giving you peace, clarity, and relief—if you stay consistent.
Trust the process. Be patient with yourself.

And
most importantly, enjoy every single step of the journey. Because that’s where
the real magic is.

Sufiya
extends her gratitude to College Mentor in association with Bharath University,
Health Partner Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences(SLIMS) and
every sponsor who believed in this journey and in the idea that an individual
run can become a national movement.

Run
for Dreams begins May 12 from Kanyakumari, passes through
11 states and every war memorial on the route, and concludes at Karakoram Pass
on August 6. She arrives at Kargil War Memorial on Kargil Vijay Diwas, July 26.

<title>Demand for Virtual CFO Services Surges Among Indian SMEs, Startups, and E&#45;Commerce Businesses as Financial Complexity Grows</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/demand-for-virtual-cfo-services-surges-among-indian-smes-startups-and-e-commerce-businesses-as-financial-complexity-grows</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/demand-for-virtual-cfo-services-surges-among-indian-smes-startups-and-e-commerce-businesses-as-financial-complexity-grows</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Noida,
India, May 07, 2026 : Lekhakar, a Noida-based accounting and
financial advisory firm, today highlighted a sharp and sustained rise in demand
for Virtual CFO (Chief Financial Officer) services across India’s SME, startup,
and e-commerce segments. The firm, which has provided Virtual CFO services to
growing businesses across India, reports a 55% year-on-year increase in
enquiries for the service, a trend it attributes to the growing financial
complexity facing businesses that have outgrown basic bookkeeping but cannot
yet justify a full-time CFO.

A Virtual
CFO provides businesses with access to senior-level financial strategy, cash
flow planning, investor reporting, compliance oversight, and MIS reporting, on
a part-time or retainer basis. For a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO
(typically ₹18-25 lakh per annum), businesses can access comparable expertise,
making the model particularly attractive to companies with annual turnover
between ₹1 crore and ₹50 crore.

Why Demand Is Growing

Several
converging factors are driving the rapid adoption of Virtual CFO services
across India:

• 
Startup funding pressure: Investors
and lenders now require structured financial reporting, cash flow forecasts,
and audit-ready books before committing capital, standards that most
early-stage teams cannot meet without external financial leadership.

•  GST
and compliance complexity: With over 13 GST
return types, mandatory e-invoicing, and TDS reforms introduced in the Union
Budget 2025-26, SMEs face a compliance burden that goes well beyond what a traditional
accountant handles.

• 
E-commerce growth: Online sellers
managing multi-platform revenue, marketplace TDS deductions, and inventory
reconciliation require structured financial oversight that basic bookkeeping
cannot provide.

• 
Scaling without overhiring: Mid-sized
companies growing their teams and entering new markets need financial modelling
and working capital management, but are not yet ready for the fixed cost of a
full-time senior hire.

•  Bank
credit access: Lenders increasingly demand 12–24 months of
clean MIS reports and projected financials. Businesses without organised
financial systems are routinely denied credit, regardless of their actual
performance.

 

Founder’s Perspective

“The businesses coming to us for Virtual CFO services are not
struggling; they’re growing,” said Mr Ankit, Founder of Lekhakar. “A startup
preparing for its Series A needs the same quality of financial reporting as a
listed company. An e-commerce business managing ₹5 crore in annual sales needs
cash flow visibility and working capital planning. These are CFO-level
problems, and our Virtual CFO service gives businesses access to that expertise
at a cost that actually makes sense for their stage.”

What Lekhakar’s Virtual CFO
Service Covers

Lekhakar’s
Virtual CFO engagement is structured around six pillars:

• 
Financial Planning &amp; Analysis (FP&amp;A): Monthly MIS reports, budget vs. actuals, and financial forecasting.

•  Cash
Flow Management: 13-week rolling cash flow forecasts, working
capital optimisation, and debtor management.

• 
Investor &amp; Lender Reporting:
Pitch-deck financials, due diligence support, CMA data for bank loans, and
projected P&amp;L.

• 
Compliance Oversight: GST, TDS, ROC
filings, and statutory audit coordination managed end-to-end.

•  Cost
&amp; Margin Analysis: Unit economics, product/channel
profitability, and cost reduction identification.

• 
Strategic Advisory: Business plan review,
pricing strategy, and financial scenario modelling for key decisions.

 

A Growing Market Opportunity

India has
an estimated 63 million MSMEs, of which fewer than 5% employ a dedicated
finance professional at the management level, according to industry estimates.
With the government’s push toward formalisation, digital taxation, and
credit-linked subsidy schemes, the need for structured financial management is
no longer optional; it is a prerequisite for growth. The Virtual CFO model
addresses this gap directly, offering scalable, affordable access to financial
expertise that was previously available only to large enterprises.

Lekhakar’s Virtual CFO service is
available immediately to businesses across India on a monthly retainer.
Engagements are customised based on business size, sector, and reporting
requirements. To schedule a complimentary discovery call, visit www.lekhakar.in or contact +91 8800445497.

<title>Roundtable on Impact of Paraquat on Public Health in India</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/roundtable-on-impact-of-paraquat-on-public-health-in-india</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/roundtable-on-impact-of-paraquat-on-public-health-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ May
7, 2026, New Delhi : A high-level roundtable on the “Impact of
Paraquat on Public Health in India” convened on 6th of May at the India
Habitat Centre, bringing together Members of Parliament, policymakers, public
health experts, clinicians, agricultural specialists, and civil society
representatives to deliberate on the urgent need for action on one of the most
hazardous herbicides still in use in the country.

Organised
by ETI Services in collaboration with The University of Edinburgh, the
convening focused on aligning evidence, policy, and on-ground realities to
address the significant public health risks associated with paraquat.

In
her opening remarks, Dr. Sukriti Chauhan, CEO, ETI Services, underscored the
human and systemic dimensions of the issue, stating, “Public health is
ultimately a question of justice; of whose lives are protected and whose risks
are overlooked. Paraquat poisoning is not just a clinical issue; it has deep
social consequences for rural families, pushing households into cycles of
distress. Addressing this requires alignment across different sectors and
collaborative action that is grounded in both evidence and lived realities.”

Dr.
Dalbir Singh, a renowned senior policymaker, President of the Global Coalition
Against TB and President, Policymakers Forum for Mental Health said, “The issue
of Paraquat sits at the intersection of agricultural policy, public health and
suicide prevention in view of its high toxicity and rampant accessibility
resulting in agonizing deaths. It is therefore time to evolve a data-driven
strategy to invest in safer alternatives.”

Shri
Rapolu Ananda Bhaskar, Honourable Former Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha
highlighted the need for taking the issue from states like Telangana to the
Centre.  “As we achieved the Endosulfan
ban in 2011” he noted, “now we can achieve a ban of Paraquat Herbicide.
Paraquat exposure is fatal and the Parliament and Government have started
responding to the issue. Farmers’ leaders, scientists, doctors and activists,
with ETI’ initiative, shall deepen the understanding of the need for removing
the manufacture of paraquat, taking its toxicity and immediate and long-term
impact into consideration. Platforms like Amazon have removed the sale of
Paraquat, likewise, the Union Government must also impose a ban on the paraquat
herbicide.” 

Bringing
a global and policy perspective forward, Bhawesh Jha, Project and Policy
Officer, The University of Edinburgh highlighted emerging regulatory trends:
“Paraquat stands out as one of the most lethal pesticides in use today, with no
effective antidote. Encouragingly, steps taken by states like Odisha and
Telangana, including moves towards restricting or banning its use, point in the
right direction. Evidence from India and globally shows that limiting access to
highly hazardous pesticides can significantly reduce preventable deaths without
harming agriculture.”

Speakers
also highlighted the scale of the problem and the feasibility of transitioning
away from paraquat without compromising agricultural productivity. Dr. G.V.
Ramanjaneyulu, Executive Director, Centre for Sustainable Agriculture,
emphasised that, “India can phase out paraquat without affecting agricultural
production by strengthening integrated weed management practices that Indian
farmers have traditionally used, including inter-cultivation, mulching, cover
crops, crop rotation, and mechanical weeding. Several states and farming
communities across India are already successfully reducing dependence on
hazardous herbicides through ecological and low-cost alternatives. Continued
reliance on paraquat poses serious risks to farm workers, rural families, and
public health, while safer and practical weed management options are readily
available for Indian agriculture. A phased national ban, combined with farmer
support, custom hiring centres, and extension services, can protect both
agricultural productivity and the health of farming communities.”

Bringing
in clinical evidence, Prof. Peter Victor John, Senior Professor at the
Department of Medicine/Critical Care, Christian Medical College, Vellore, noted
the severity of paraquat poisoning outcomes: “In this era of innovative
agriculture, an old herbicide, paraquat, is resulting in countless deaths due
to deliberate or accidental ingestion. In the absence of an antidote and with
death rates of over 75% in paraquat poisoning despite appropriate medical care,
it is time to consider the ban of this compound in India and replace it with
safer alternatives. This would result in lives saved without the loss of crop
productivity.”

Dr.
Mahesh Reddy Marri from the Association of Doctors Against Paraquat stressed the
urgency of regulatory action, stating: “Paraquat must be banned. It is a highly
toxic poison with no antidote, and far too often, exposure, whether accidental
or intentional, which result in death. Allowing its continued use, despite the
existence of safer alternatives, is an avoidable risk that no public health
system should accept. It’s time for us to take collective action.”

Dr.
Shankar Ramchandani, Assistant Professor, VIMSAR Odisha and Founder, One-Rupee
Clinic emphasised “As there is no antidote to paraquat, and the fatality is
high, putting a ban is the only solution. Human lives are much more precious
than business, and today’s platform offers a splendid combination of doctors,
agriculturists, law makers, and farmers for advocacy to ban paraquat in India.”


Discussions
throughout the roundtable emphasised the need for a phased national ban on
paraquat, supported by farmer-centric transition strategies, strengthened
surveillance systems, and integrated policy action across agriculture and
health sectors. ]]></description>

<title>Hackers are using AI to build fake SBI, IRCTC and Zepto sites in under 5 minutes. Here is the AI fighting back</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/hackers-are-using-ai-to-build-fake-sbi-irctc-and-zepto-sites-in-under-5-minutes-here-is-the-ai-fighting-back</link>

<description><![CDATA[   India lost Rs. 22,812 crore to cybercrime in 2024. Behind more than 8 out of
every 10 phishing attacks was artificial intelligence. The threat is real. The
good news is that AI can fight back.

By
CyberCheck360 Research Team | May 2025 : India&#039;s cybercrime reporting portal
received 19.18 lakh complaints in 2024. Total financial losses crossed Rs.
22,812 crore, nearly three times the Rs. 7,496 crore lost in 2023. These are
not abstract statistics. They come from ordinary people across India who
clicked a link that looked completely legitimate.

What
changed so dramatically in one year? One word: AI.

According
to the State of AI-Powered Cybercrime Report 2025 by GIREM and Tekion, 82.6% of
phishing content targeting Indians last year was generated using machine
learning. These sites are not obviously fake. They carry perfect grammar,
pixel-perfect design and logos that match the real thing exactly. Even security
professionals struggle to tell the difference.

WHY
YOUR ANTIVIRUS CANNOT SAVE YOU ANYMORE

Most
security tools, including antivirus software and browser warnings, rely on
databases of known bad sites. But scammers now create a site, run their fraud
for a few hours and delete it before any database has recorded it. This is what
cybersecurity professionals call a zero-day phishing threat. Brand new. Unknown
to every database. And invisible to every reputation check.

Research
from Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 shows that over 70% of newly registered domains
are malicious or suspicious, roughly 10 times higher than established domains.
Critically, 41% of phishing domains are weaponised within just 14 days of
registration. The window between a domain going live and active fraud has
collapsed to hours.

Menlo
Security&#039;s State of Browser Security Report, published in March 2025,
documented a 140% increase in browser-based phishing attacks in 2024, along
with a 130% year-on-year rise in zero-hour phishing attacks specifically.
SlashNext tracked a 1,265% surge in malicious phishing emails in the year
following the public launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. Researchers at IIT Jammu
confirmed in 2025 that even users with no technical background can now run
complete phishing campaigns using freely available AI tools.

The
barrier to cybercrime has not just lowered. It has nearly disappeared.

THE
BRANDS SCAMMERS COPY MOST IN INDIA

Fraudsters are not
random. They target platforms Indians trust most for money and personal data.

Fake
SBI and major bank portals are used to harvest login credentials and OTPs. An
RTI disclosure revealed nearly 16,000 cyber fraud incidents at SBI alone
between January 2024 and October 2025. Fake IRCTC booking pages are timed deliberately
to tatkal rushes and peak travel seasons. Fake UPI payment portals redirected
Rs. 2,100 crore in fraud in 2024. Fake government portals impersonating
Aadhaar, PAN and income tax services are used to steal identity documents.

The
timing of these attacks is deliberate. During a sale, a tatkal rush or an IPO
announcement, people move quickly. Scammers count on exactly that.

THREE
LAYERS OF PROTECTION, THE LAST ONE BEING AI

CyberCheck360
Link Inspector is a free browser extension built specifically for this threat.
It applies three layers of protection to every link clicked, silently and in
real time.

The
first layer checks every link against global databases of known phishing and
malicious URLs at the moment of clicking. The second layer checks the domain&#039;s
age, registration details and patterns that are common to fraudulent
infrastructure, flagging sites that were registered days or hours ago. The
third and final layer uses AI to analyse the actual live page in real time,
looking for phishing behaviour that no database has ever recorded. This is the
layer that catches zero-day threats, sites that are hours old and completely
invisible to every other security tool.

No
single tool is enough. Each layer catches what the others miss. Together they
protect against the full range of threats targeting Indian users today. 

When
the extension identifies a site as malicious, it blocks access immediately
before any personal or financial information can be entered. The site shown in
this example was just 2 days old at the time of blocking. No antivirus, no
Google Safe Browsing alert and no reputation blacklist had recorded it. Domain
intelligence and AI together caught what everything else missed.

When
the extension detects a newly registered domain showing phishing signals, it
raises a clear warning in plain language, showing the domain age, the flagged
URL and the reason for the alert. The user can choose to go back safely without
interacting with the page at all. No technical knowledge is required to
understand the warning.

INSTALL
IN 30 SECONDS. COMPLETELY FREE.

You
cannot always spot a fake site yourself. These sites are built by professionals
whose full-time job is to fool you. The only reliable protection is a tool that
checks every link before you act on it.

CyberCheck360
Link Inspector takes 30 seconds to install and works silently in the
background. There is no account required and no personal data collected. It
checks every site visited using reputation checking, domain intelligence and
AI, and raises an alert before any damage is done.

The
extension is available free at: https://cybercheck360.com/products/browser-extension/


About
CyberCheck360

CyberCheck360 helps organisations protect their employees from
phishing attacks. If your team receives emails and clicks on links every day,
CyberCheck360&#039;s Email Click Protection ensures every single click is checked
and dangerous links are blocked before any damage is done. No technical setup
needed for employees. No change to how they work. Just silent protection on
every click, across the entire organisation.

<title>Acculink CPAs Marks Five Years of Zero Data Breaches: Setting the Standard for Outsourced Accounting Services</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/acculink-cpas-marks-five-years-of-zero-data-breaches-setting-the-standard-for-outsourced-accounting-services</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/acculink-cpas-marks-five-years-of-zero-data-breaches-setting-the-standard-for-outsourced-accounting-services</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ALBUQUERQUE,
NM : Five years ago, Acculink CPAs was built on a simple
but demanding promise: that offshore accounting staffing could be secure,
compliant, and genuinely useful to U.S. CPA &amp; Accounting firms without the
usual headaches. Five years and zero data breaches later, that promise has held.

For U.S. CPA, EA, and
accounting firms navigating a real talent shortage and rising operational
costs, finding outsourced accounting services that are genuinely secure and
scalable has been harder than it should be. Acculink CPAs, headquartered in New
Mexico with a delivery center in India, was built specifically to change that.

Five Years. Zero
Breaches. Full Compliance.

Security
in offshore accounting is not just about having the right certifications
on paper. It is about what happens on the floor every single day. Acculink
holds full ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and IRS Section 7216 compliance - and behind
those certifications sits a dedicated internal IT security team whose only
responsibility is protecting client data at every stage of delivery.

The controls are
physical as much as they are digital. No phones or personal devices are
permitted on the delivery floor. All staff submit personal devices before
entering. CCTV surveillance runs across all work areas at all times. USB drives
and external storage are strictly prohibited. No data leaves the building on
paper or device - period.

IRS Section 7216 -
which governs how tax return information can be shared in offshore engagements
- remains the number one legal concern for CPA firms considering offshore
staffing. Acculink&#039;s engagement workflows are built around 7216-compliant
consent processes from the very first interaction, removing this barrier before
it becomes a problem.

Five years. Zero breaches.
Every CPA firm should be asking their offshore partner if they can say the
same.

Here is what five years
of focused execution looks like at Acculink:

●       
300+ accounting professionals across
accounting, tax, and bookkeeping

●       
63% of talent are from Big Four and top-20
U.S. accounting firm backgrounds

●       
100+ CPA firms, accounting practices, and
businesses currently served

●       
45% reduction in time-to-close and turnaround
time reported by client firms

●       
Zero data breaches across five years of
operation

●       
Full ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and IRS Section
7216 compliance

The
Right Talent, Ready From Day One

Staffing
is only as good as the people behind it. Acculink
gives CPA firms access to professionals across accounting, tax,
audit and bookkeeping at every experience
level -- each one already trained on the tools U.S. firms rely on daily: QuickBooks, Xero, CCH Axcess, UltraTax, ProConnect, Lacerte,
Drake, Karbon, TaxDome, and more.

There are no training
cycles.. Every professional integrates into the firm&#039;s existing workflow from
day one - plug-and-play. Firms get the capacity they need without absorbing
quality risk at any level.

&quot;Our clients are
not signing up for a trial run,&quot; said Agam Shah, Operational Head at
Acculink CPAs. &quot;They get certified, secure professionals who fit in
from day one - and feel the difference within two weeks.&quot;

More
Than Staffing

Amanda Williams,
Managing Partner at a New York-based CPA firm,
put it simply: &quot;We came for staffing help. What we got was a business
partner. Our turnaround time dropped by 45% after Acculink helped us
restructure our workflows and bring in automation where we needed it
most.&quot;

Every Acculink
engagement includes alongside staffing:

●       
SOP development tailored to the firm&#039;s
existing processes

●       
Workflow automation to reduce manual effort
and review cycles

●       
AI integration advisory to increase throughput
without increasing headcount.

<description><![CDATA[ May
6, 2026 : Binance today announced the launch of
“Withdraw Protection,” a new user-centric security feature that gives users
greater control over the safety of their digital assets. As part of Binance’s
ongoing commitment to proactive user protection and education, the new feature
adds an extra layer of account security that users can activate at any time.

Withdraw
Protection enables users to place a temporary lock of their digital assets,
preventing on-chain withdrawals for a user-defined period of one to seven days.
During this time, assets cannot be withdrawn from the exchange, helping users
add an extra layer of control when they want to exercise extra caution. Users
can also choose whether early unlocking is permitted, and if so, both an
authenticator app and a security key must be enabled, while email confirmation
and phone/SMS authentication can be added as optional verification methods.

For
users who prefer maximum certainty, Withdraw Protection offers a strict
lockdown option that disables early unlocking entirely. In both cases, the
selected lock period cannot be overridden by the exchange, ensuring users
retain full control over their chosen security settings. This reflects
Binance’s goal of giving users clear and enforceable security controls.

“User
protection is important across all digital and financial platforms, and
security is most effective when it is both proactive and user-driven,” said
Jimmy Su, Chief Security Officer at Binance. “Withdraw Protection is
designed as a proactive control that gives users more choice over account
security, and it reflects the evolution of digital asset services toward
stronger user safeguards.”

Binance
emphasizes that Withdraw Protection is part of a broader approach to
responsible asset management and not a substitute for good cyber hygiene and
vigilance. Users are encouraged to follow best practices such as whitelisting
withdrawal addresses in advance, maintaining strong authentication methods, and
exercising discretion while discussing their crypto holdings. By combining
education with practical tools like Withdraw Protection, Binance aims to help
build a safer and more resilient ecosystem for all users.

Availability:
Withdraw Protection is progressively rolled out across all regions. iOS users
must be on iOS 16 or above and Binance app version 3.14.0 or above to use this
feature. Users can learn more about the new feature here.

<title>Tramontina Celebrates 115 Years of Unique Cooking Experiences</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/tramontina-celebrates-115-years-of-unique-cooking-experiences</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/tramontina-celebrates-115-years-of-unique-cooking-experiences</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Known globally for its
stellar knives and health-first cookware, the brand strengthens its foothold in
India

Mumbai,
06th May, 2026 : Tramontina, a global
leader in Houseware, completes 115 successful years of designing and
manufacturing innovative cookware, kitchen tools and home essentials that have
found a place in kitchens across the world.

Founded
in Brazil in 1911, the brand has grown on a simple belief: cookware should
combine safety, performance and longevity. For over a century, Tramontina has
focused on creating products that are not only efficient in the kitchen but
built to last, supporting generations of home cooks and professionals alike.

In
2024, Tramontina brought this legacy to India, a country where food is emotion,
tradition and celebration all at once. Recognising the uniqueness of the Indian
kitchen, the company introduced a specially curated portfolio that goes beyond
its global bestsellers. Alongside its internationally known knives and premium
cookware, the India range includes staples such as tawas, kadhais, pressure
cookers and other region-specific utensils rarely used elsewhere.

The
company is setting up manufacturing units for kitchenware in Hubbali, India,
thereby bringing its globally acclaimed craftsmanship in manufacturing in
partnership with Aequs Pvt. Ltd. for the first time outside of the Americas.
Tramontina plans to leverage the manufacturing unit to support the India
business and also export to multiple countries.

Today,
Tramontina offers over 500 SKUs in India, where cookware accounts for nearly
80% of the share, while knives and kitchen tools contribute the remaining 20%.
Across categories, the brand brings globally benchmarked quality standards,
including products with NSF certification offering added assurance on hygiene,
food-contact safety and reliable, non-reactive cooking surfaces in its premium
stainless steel triply ranges, ceramic coated cookware, cast-iron and more.

As
consumers increasingly move away from disposable purchases and invest in
cookware that performs better and lasts longer, Tramontina’s philosophy of
durability and safety resonates strongly with modern Indian households.

Tramontina recently ventured into waste management with the
launch of a premium and ergonomic range of trash cans. The brand has also
unveiled a new range of cookware and buffet solutions for the hospitality
segment. As part of its next phase of growth, Tramontina plans to introduce its
garden and farming equipment, along with DIY tools, as its upcoming categories.

Since its launch, Tramontina has expanded to over 2,500 retail
touchpoints across India, supported by a strong omni-channel strategy spanning
general trade, modern retail and e-commerce platforms, including deep presence
in Reliance Retail, LULU Hypermarket, Shopperstop, Freshpik and Metro. The
brand has grown significantly in Amazon and today has a substantial presence
across the top 3 quick commerce platforms. The response signals a growing
appetite for global quality rooted in practical, everyday functionality.

As
Tramontina marks 115 years, the milestone is less about numbers and more about
sustenance; of craftsmanship, of innovation, and of being part of moments that
matter. Because long after the meal is over, what remains are the conversations
around the table and the tools that helped create them.

About Tramontina:

Founded in 1911 in Brazil, Tramontina is an
international brand with more than 115 years of high-end housewares
manufacturing experience. Tramontina products, delivering premium quality,
innovation, and functionality, are available in over 120 countries. Tramontina
is dedicated to being a leading manufacturer of cookware, cutlery, kitchen
accessories, and housewares items. One of the company&#039;s core values is
environmental responsibility and sustainable development.

<title>Carysil, The Largest Emerging Global Force in Kitchen Manufacturing, Accelerates Its Expansion in India</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/carysil-the-largest-emerging-global-force-in-kitchen-manufacturing-accelerates-its-expansion-in-india</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/carysil-the-largest-emerging-global-force-in-kitchen-manufacturing-accelerates-its-expansion-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The
modern kitchen has undergone a fundamental shift in how it is conceived,
designed and experienced. Once defined primarily by utility, it has become one
of the most deliberate spaces in the contemporary home; a reflection of how
people live, what they value, and the standards they hold their environments
to. The materials chosen, the appliances integrated, the way form and function
are made to coexist; each decision now carries a level of intent it simply did
not before.

For
a brand that has spent over three decades at the intersection of manufacturing
precision and design ambition, this shift is not a challenge to navigate, but a
direction to lead. At Innovaxpo 2026, Carysil presents a portfolio that meets
this moment directly; a considered body of work shaped by technology, material
innovation, and design integrity, and reflective of where the category is
heading next.

Built
on decades of growth and driven by a forward-looking mindset, Carysil continues
to scale with clarity and conviction. On display across sinks, appliances,
faucets and integrated kitchen concepts is the outcome of a development
philosophy that remains consistent even as the portfolio expands: start with
the consumer, follow the design, and invest deeply in material and technology.

At
the core of this showcase is Carysil’s advancement in next-generation quartz
and granite sinks, engineered for superior durability, resistance, and
finish consistency, while aligning with increasingly refined aesthetic
expectations. Complementing this is the brand’s evolution in integrated
stainless steel worktops, designed to create seamless, joint-free surfaces
that enhance both hygiene and visual continuity; bringing precision
manufacturing into everyday usability.

Innovation
extends into everyday functionality through Carysil’s RO faucet systems,
which integrate purified drinking water directly into the primary tap
architecture. By combining dual water channels within a single, design-led
unit, these faucets eliminate the need for separate fixtures, improving
efficiency while maintaining a clean, uncluttered kitchen aesthetic. The RO
faucets are designed to make clean drinking water easily accessible through
every household tap across India.

Within
appliances, the introduction of the CX Range marks a significant step
forward. Conceived as an ultra-premium line rooted in European design
philosophy, the range of hobs is defined by minimalism, precision and intuitive
control. Each unit is engineered for powerful, consistent performance,
supported by advanced safety systems and responsive interfaces that bring
accuracy and ease into everyday cooking. Extending beyond hobs, Carysil’s
built-in appliance portfolio; including microwaves, combi ovens, electric and
gas ovens, and warming drawers; creates a cohesive ecosystem across collections
such as Linear, Eclipse, Matrix and Classic, where technology and design
operate in complete alignment.

Material
innovation finds further expression in Carysil Blue; Developed for
high-performance environments, it reflects Carysil’s continued investment in
proprietary technologies that elevate both durability and finish. Carysil Blue
represents the brand’s considered move beyond the kitchen, extending its
design-led, innovation-driven approach into the bathroom space. Conceived as a
curated suite rather than a standalone offering, it reflects Carysil’s evolving
vision of becoming a holistic solutions provider; where kitchen and bath are
not treated as separate categories, but as part of a cohesive, elevated living
environment. Through Carysil Blue, the brand brings the same rigour of quality,
materiality, and thoughtful integration to the bathroom, creating a more
seamless and refined residential experience.

These
product innovations come together within Carysil’s integrated kitchen
solution concepts, where sinks, faucets, appliances and surfaces are
designed not as individual components, but as part of a unified system. The
result is a kitchen environment defined by cohesion, efficiency, and design
continuity; reflecting the way contemporary consumers increasingly expect their
spaces to function. Sustainability-led processes further underpin this
approach, with responsible manufacturing and material optimisation embedded
into long-term product development.

The
business context reflects strong and deliberate momentum. Export markets
continue to perform, with North America, Europe, and the Middle East remaining
central to Carysil’s international strategy. At home, India is emerging as a
growth engine of genuine scale; driven by urbanisation, premium housing, and
the increasing adoption of modular kitchens. This shift is matched by Carysil’s
expanding distribution, wider product reach, and a brand proposition aligned
with the Indian consumer’s growing design awareness.

Carysil’s
competitive strategy has never been built on price. It is anchored in design
intelligence, manufacturing excellence, and the ability to deliver integrated
solutions rather than fragmented offerings. As the category moves further
toward premiumisation, smart living, and sustainability, the gap between brands
built on long-term investment and those driven by short-term gains will only
widen. Carysil continues to operate firmly in the former, with a focus on
enduring value.

Innovation
and design sit at the centre of Carysil’s approach, but they are not pursued in
isolation. They are supported by a strong foundation of discipline, resilience,
and consistency, enabling the brand to participate meaningfully in segments
where consumers prioritise craft, aesthetic coherence, and lasting quality.
This is further strengthened by a distribution model that spans expanded dealer
networks, deeper engagement with architects and developers, and a considered
retail presence aligned with premium, experience-led categories.

Innovaxpo
2026, for Carysil, is as much a dialogue as it is a showcase. It brings
together the architects, designers, partners, and industry voices who will
shape the next phase of growth, across India and the more than 55 countries
where Carysil is present. The portfolio introduced this year reflects not only
where the brand stands today, but the clarity with which it continues to move
forward.

About
Carysil

Founded
in 1987, the Carysil Group has evolved into Asia’s premier quartz kitchen sink
manufacturer and the fourth largest producer globally. Headquartered in India,
with subsidiaries in the UK, Germany, and the UAE, Carysil’s presence spans
more than 55 countries.

Rooted
in discipline, resilience, and consistency, Carysil’s journey reflects a
long-term commitment to building with intent and precision. Under the
leadership of Chairman and Managing Director Chirag Parekh, the company has
expanded its portfolio beyond quartz sinks to include stainless steel sinks,
faucets, and a refined range of built-in kitchen appliances.

With
a strong emphasis on technology-led innovation and continuous advancement,
Carysil continues to shape the future of integrated kitchen living while
maintaining the integrity and depth that define its global presence. ]]></description>

<title>BEYOND THE MELTDOWN: HOW TO MOVE FROM DISCIPLINE TO CONNECTION WITH YOUR CHILD BY KARISHMA</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-the-meltdown-how-to-move-from-discipline-to-connection-with-your-child-by-karishma</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-the-meltdown-how-to-move-from-discipline-to-connection-with-your-child-by-karishma</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ When a child is screaming, throwing a toy, or
shutting down in silence, our parental instinct is often to fix the behavior.
We reach for discipline by taking away the toy or give stern lectures because
we fear that if we don&#039;t correct the action immediately, we are falling behind
as parents. But modern neuroscience tells a different story. To change a
behavior, we must first address the nervous system.

Science behind why discipline often fails?

When a child is in the middle of a meltdown, their
logical brain has effectively gone offline and what dominates is the emotional
center.

The reality behind is when a child is in fight, flight
or freeze mode at that time they are physically incapable of learning a lesson.
Here major mistakes we make as parents, we punish them in this state, and we
add more stress to an already overloaded system. This does not teach them how
to behave rather it teaches them that they are alone when they are at their
worst. 

How to Co-Regulate?

Co-regulation is the process where the parent or an
adult uses their own calm, regulated state to help anchor a child who is
drowning in emotion. It is the bridge that helps a child move from chaos back
to clarity. At this stage a parent is the thermostat, not the thermometer, you
set the temperature rather than just reflecting it.

How to move from discipline to connection: 

1.The Pause before the Push - Before addressing the
child&#039;s behavior it is important to check your own temperature. If you are
angry, your child&#039;s nervous system will see a threat and stay in survival mode.
Taking one deep breath and reminding yourself ‘My child isn&#039;t giving me a hard time,
my child is having a hard time’, will change the situation completely. 

 

2.Connection vs. Isolation - We want our children to
reflect on their choices but they can&#039;t do that when they are alone and upset.
Sending a child away to a room to think about what they did usually makes them
feel resentful, not thoughtful. So instead of scolding and isolating them, hold
them to calm down with you nearby. Your physical presence sends a signal to
their system that they are safe. Once they are calm, they are finally in a
mental space where they can actually think about what they did wrong. 

 

3.Naming the feeling not just the action - Help them name
the emotion so they can understand it. By addressing the behavior e.g. stop
hitting, stop yelling we ignore the emotion they are trying to express. If you
name that feeling or emotion you are helping them decode their own internal
mess. This helps their thinking brain to be active again because they suddenly
feel seen and understood. 

 

4.Setting firm boundaries - Connection is not about
letting things slide. If a child is hurting others or themselves, step in. Use
a calm and firm voice to stop the behavior then get back to connection. The
goal isn&#039;t just to stop the crying but it is to teach your child how to handle
their own big feelings. Every time you stay calm while they are storming, you
are teaching their brain how to eventually calm itself down. 

What is the key ingredient then?

If we want to teach our child a new habit or a skill, we
must be consistent and firm.

Children always crave predictability. When we are
consistent in our responses and firm with the boundaries, the child will feel
secure. They will learn that they can count on you to keep the rules clear,
even when you will be their supportive co - regulator. Consistency is what
turns a lesson into a habit.

The most vital part of this is separating your moods
from your parenting. It is natural to have
difficult days, but your child’s boundaries shouldn’t change just because you
had a stressful afternoon. If we scold them only when we are in a bad mood, or
let things slide when we are in a good one, it creates confusion. Your child
needs to know that the rules are steady, regardless of how you are feeling that
day. By keeping your reactions predictable and steady, you create a safe,
stable foundation they can trust.

To all the parents, you won&#039;t be perfect. There will be
days you lose your cool. When that happens just repair the bond. Apologizing to
your child, it is the most powerful way to show your child how to own their
mistakes. Discipline is about control while connection is
about growth. When we stop being the judge and start becoming the
co-regulator we don&#039;t just see better behavior but also we build a bond that
can withstand the storm.

<description><![CDATA[ Rajalakshmi Medical College Hospital and Research
Institute (RMCHRI) has successfully performed a complex, minimally invasive
surgery for advanced stomach cancer in a post chemotherapy patient, marking a
significant step forward in its commitment to delivering cutting-edge cancer
care.

Gastric cancer remains one of the more aggressive
malignancies, often requiring a multidisciplinary treatment approach that
integrates chemotherapy with surgical intervention for optimal outcomes. The
team performed a total gastrectomy with lymph node dissection and
reconstruction, a technically demanding procedure traditionally carried out
through open surgery.

 

Dr. Haree Shankar Meganathan, Vice chairman of
Rajalakshmi Group, stated:

&quot;This procedure is a testament to our focus on
accessible healthcare to all while adopting evidence-based surgical techniques

<description><![CDATA[  

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, skincare has become
more than a beauty ritual; it is a daily act of self-care. With pollution,
changing weather, stress, sunscreen, makeup, and excess oil affecting the skin
every day, the need for a gentle yet effective cleanser has become more
important than ever. Understanding this everyday skincare requirement, Blossom
Kochhar Aroma Magic offers two nature-inspired cleansing solutions: White Tea &amp; Chamomile Face Wash and Lavender Face Wash.

Designed to support fresh, clean, and healthy-looking
skin, these face washes bring together botanical extracts, essential oils, and
aromatherapy-led care. For consumers looking for a Natural Face Wash, a Face
Wash for Glowing Skin, a natural face wash for dry skin, a Face
Wash for Oily Skin, or a natural face wash for glowing skin, Aroma
Magic’s gentle cleansers offer an effective way to upgrade daily skincare
routines.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Daily Cleanser

Cleansing is the foundation of every skincare routine.
It helps remove dirt, sweat, excess sebum, pollution, sunscreen residue, and
daily impurities that settle on the skin. However, the right cleanser should
not only clean the skin but also maintain its comfort and natural balance.

A harsh face wash may leave the skin feeling stretched,
dry, or irritated. This is why consumers are increasingly looking for skincare
products that are gentle, nature-inspired, and suitable for daily use.

A good face wash should help:

●     
Remove
impurities and excess oil 

●     
Keep
the skin feeling fresh and clean 

●     
Support
a healthy-looking glow 

●     
Prepare
the skin for moisturiser, sunscreen, or serum 

●     
Cleanse
without stripping the skin’s natural moisture 

●     
Make
everyday skincare simple and effective 

With this approach, Aroma Magic’s White Tea &amp;
Chamomile Face Wash and Lavender Face Wash are positioned as everyday
essentials for clean, calm, and naturally radiant skin.

soothed.

White tea is known for its antioxidant-rich skincare
benefits and helps protect the skin from environmental stress. Chamomile
essential oil adds a calming touch, making the cleanser suitable for those who
want a gentle yet refreshing daily wash.

<title>Crafting Bharat: Season 3 — From Idea to &amp;apos;Super Startups&amp;apos; Presented by AWS Startups and an initiative by NewsReach</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/crafting-bharat-season-3-from-idea-to-super-startups-presented-by-aws-startups-and-an-initiative-by-newsreach</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/crafting-bharat-season-3-from-idea-to-super-startups-presented-by-aws-startups-and-an-initiative-by-newsreach</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Ten years ago, Startup India was a government policy.
Today, it is a movement. India has crossed 200,000 registered startups — not
just in Bengaluru or Mumbai, but emerging out of every state, every tier, every
community that dared to think differently. What began as a push to unlock
entrepreneurship has become something far more significant: the birth of an
entirely new class of company — the Super Startup.

A Super Startup is not defined by its valuation or its
venture backers. It is defined by clarity of purpose, speed of execution, the
depth of its technological backbone, and its ability to build businesses that
endure. It sees the market not as it is — but as it could be. It moves before
the window opens. And it scales not just in revenue, but in real-world impact.

It is this question — What does it take to build a Super
Startup? — that sits at the heart of Crafting Bharat: Season 3.

An initiative by NewsReach, presented by AWS Startups,
with production partner HT Smartcast, Crafting Bharat: Season 3 returns with
its most ambitious lineup yet — a front-row seat to the minds, methods, and
defining moments behind India’s next generation of breakout companies. Across
ten episodes, the series brings together founders who are not just building
businesses; they are engineering category leaders across healthcare, financial
services, wealth management, cybersecurity, entertainment, and e-commerce.

This season, the lens sharpens. Where earlier seasons
illuminated the journey of building in India, Season 3 goes deeper — into the
architecture of scale. Every founder conversation unpacks one central idea: how
does a bold idea, forged in the furnace of Indian market realities, evolve into
a Super Startup? The answers lie in the intersection of visionary thinking,
technology leverage — particularly AI and cloud — and the kind of relentless
decision-making that separates companies that survive from companies that
define their category.

Hosting the conversations once again is Gautam
Srinivasan, Consulting Editor across CNBC India, CNN-News18, Forbes India, and
The Economic Times — one of India’s most respected business journalists, whose
ability to get founders to speak candidly has become a signature of the
Crafting Bharat experience.



 



Speaking at the launch, Darshan Shah, Co-Founder and CEO
of NewsReach, reflected on the evolution of the series and what this season
represents:



“When
we launched Crafting Bharat, we believed India’s most powerful startup stories
were being left untold. Three seasons later, that belief has become a
conviction. Season 3 raises the bar — because the founders we’re spotlighting
this year aren’t just building companies. They are building infrastructure for
the next decade of India. The concept of the Super Startup — built on clarity,
speed, and technological depth — is not aspirational. It is already happening.
And Crafting Bharat is where those stories will live. I’m deeply grateful to
AWS Startups for being the partner that has made this vision possible, season
after season.”—
Darshan Shah, Co-Founder &amp; CEO, NewsReach





 



Echoing this vision, Sriram Santhanam, Head of Startups,
India at AWS, highlighted why this season marks a pivotal moment in India’s
startup story:



“From the first line of code to global expansion, AWS is
committed to supporting every stage of a founder’s journey. In India, we are
witnessing a pivotal shift where startups are becoming more resilient and
globally competitive than ever before. Crafting Bharat: Season 3 is a
celebration of this &#039;Think Big&#039; mindset. By partnering with NewsReach, we aim
to spotlight the innovators who are utilizing AI and cloud technology to
redefine what’s possible on a global stage”. - 
Sriram Santhanam, Head of Startups, India at AWS

<title>VOH National Stroke Conclave 2026: Driving Systems, Policy &amp;amp; Innovation for Stroke Care in India</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/voh-national-stroke-conclave-2026-driving-systems-policy-innovation-for-stroke-care-in-india</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/voh-national-stroke-conclave-2026-driving-systems-policy-innovation-for-stroke-care-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, May 6, 2026: India’s
stroke care landscape is at a critical juncture, with nearly 1.8–2 million new
cases reported annually and less than 15% of patients reaching hospitals within
the golden treatment window. Stroke remains a leading cause of death and
long-term disability, reflecting significant gaps in awareness, timely access,
and healthcare infrastructure.

Addressing this challenge, the VOH National Stroke
Conclave, endorsed by the Indian Stroke Association and supported by the
India Hypertension Control Initiative and Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital,
brought together leading neurologists, policymakers, and healthcare experts in
New Delhi. The conclave, an initiative by Voice of Healthcare, focused on
driving actionable strategies to strengthen stroke care across India.

Setting the tone, Dr. Naveen Nishchal, Founder, Voice
of Healthcare, highlighted infrastructure gaps, stating, “There remains a
significant gap in stroke care across tier 3 cities, driven by a shortage of
neurologists and specialised infrastructure… many regions still lack even basic
facilities like CT scan machines.”

Highlighting the scale of the challenge, Dr. Vikram Huded,
President, Indian Stroke Association, said, “India records nearly 1.8
million stroke cases annually, yet access to timely treatment remains
critically limited. Fewer than 5% of eligible patients receive thrombolysis.”
He emphasized the need for faster response systems to improve outcomes.

Dr. Arvind Sharma,
Secretary, Indian Stroke Association, stressed that “advancing stroke care
in India demands the convergence of innovation, strategic partnerships, and
supportive policy,” while calling for a more coordinated, system-wide
approach.

Offering a global perspective, Dr. Jeyaraj Pandian,
President, World Stroke Organization, highlighted regional disparities and
pointed to telemedicine and AI as key enablers in expanding access.

From an industry standpoint, Amit Singh, Group CEO,
Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital, stated, “stroke is increasingly
affecting younger populations,” underscoring the need for awareness, early
recognition, and scalable care models.

Discussions at the conclave spanned the full continuum of
stroke care—from policy and prevention to acute management and long-term
recovery. Experts emphasized integrating stroke into national NCD programs,
strengthening financing frameworks, and addressing the gap between policy
intent and implementation.

A strong focus was placed on prevention and early diagnosis,
including better control of hypertension and diabetes, improved screening, and
FAST awareness. In line with this, Voice of Healthcare has also launched a
nationwide hypertension awareness campaign under the banner ‘BP Ko Halke
Mai Na Le’, highlighting the silent risks of uncontrolled blood pressure,
which can lead to serious conditions such as stroke, cardiac arrest, and kidney
failure, while encouraging people to take early action.

Clinical discussions addressed reducing treatment delays,
improving access to thrombolysis and thrombectomy, and strengthening emergency
response systems and care pathways. Experts also highlighted the growing role
of digital health, with AI and tele-stroke networks improving access,
particularly in underserved areas.

A key highlight was the launch of the National Stroke
Patient Support Network, led by Dr. Kunal Bahrani, aimed at creating
a structured continuum of care from emergency response to long-term recovery.

Dr. Bahrani noted, “Stroke care does not end at
discharge. A structured recovery pathway is essential to improving long-term outcomes
and quality of life for patients.”

The conclave concluded with a strong consensus on the need
for coordinated action across policy, clinical practice, innovation, and
patient-centric care systems to improve stroke outcomes in India. ]]></description>

<title>Most Eminent Startups of India 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[  Proud moments from the ecosystem —
Awards | Funding | Recognition.

India’s startup
ecosystem in 2026 reflects a powerful shift beyond conventional tech-led
narratives, showcasing a diverse wave of ventures redefining industries through
innovation, scalability, and purpose. From design-driven brands like Art N
Vintage that reinterpret heritage craftsmanship, to food and supply-chain
disruptors such as The Chatpata Affair and Sukhna Foods, and emerging platforms
in IP exchange, AI-led education, compliance, and digital ecosystems, these
startups represent the breadth of new-age entrepreneurship. What unites them is
a strong focus on solving real-world problems—whether through technology,
sustainability, community enablement, or premium product innovation—while
building scalable, future-ready models. Together, they highlight how India’s
next generation of startups is not only driving economic growth but also
setting new benchmarks across sectors, both domestically and on the global
stage.

1. ART N VINTAGE

Recognised with the “Brand
Creation Award” by the Council for Leather Exports in 2024,

Art N Vintage stands
among a new generation of Indian labels shaping global relevance from within
their own cultural ground. Founded by NIFT alumni Priti Kumari and Shailendra
Kumar, the brand manipulates traditional leatherwork, fusing it in ways that go
beyond finish or form. The material used absorbs time and handling, where every
mark and surface carries continuity. As Priti Kumari puts it, “Leather should
not feel new for long, it should settle into you, as it has always belonged.”

One of its most
distinctive expressions is the interpretation of Indian heritage through design
and materials, and one such design is the collection inspired by the Hawa
Mahal, where the structure&#039;s rhythm is translated into leather. It&#039;s a
wonderful tribute to the richness of tradition and creativity!

At a time when
international brands draw inspiration from India&#039;s rich techniques, Art N
Vintage thrives within this ecosystem, showcasing a design language rooted in
history and materials with a distinct perspective. The brand has introduced a
global design language to the Indian market, effectively blending with local
contexts. This approach has allowed the brand to expand internationally while
staying true to its origins.

2. Chatpata Affair

In a startup
ecosystem largely dominated by technology led ventures, The Chatpata Affair is
emerging as a powerful outlier redefining how India builds and scales food
brands. Founded in 2020 amid unprecedented uncertainty, the brand has
transformed adversity into momentum, rapidly growing into a multiformat
vegetarian QSR chain that blends the nostalgia of Indian street food with the
structure and hygiene of modern retail.

What truly
differentiates The Chatpata Affair is its sharp focus on scalability and
inclusivity. Instead of limiting growth to company owned outlets, the brand has
created flexible, plug and play formats ranging from compact kiosks and food
carts to high street cafés allowing first time entrepreneurs to step into the
F&amp;B space with relatively low risk and strong backend support. This model
not only fuels expansion but also builds a community of partners growing
alongside the brand.

3. Sukhna Foods 
     

Sukhna Foods is a
leading food production company that serves as a thorough back-end partner to
notable brands like Blinkit Bistro, Biryani By Kilo, and many others. It
provides customised frozen and chilled solutions across multiple savouries like
kebabs, momos, gravies, biryanis, stuffed paranthas and much more.

Founded by Satvik
Ahuja, Sukhna was built on an idea of running kitchens in a chef-less and
foolish friendly model, a much needed requirement by hotels, restaurants, QSR
chains, caterers, and modern retailers.

This empowers
management to not be held back by staff dependency, volatile raw material
prices, hygiene gaps, inconsistent batches, or the constant trade-off between
speed and quality. Everything is designed to taste fresh and most importantly,
gourmet.

Every product is made
in FSSC 22000-certified facility and locked in for freshness using food-grade
technologies like Modified Atmosphere Packaging and Blast Freezing. From a
5-star buffet line to a 120-outlet QSR brand, Sukhna Foods gives kitchens many
things to stop worrying about and one thing to celebrate - amazingly
great-tasting food.

4. Arogyam Home Stay

5. ProducerBazaar

ProducerBazaar, a
Fipchain Venture, Closes Pre-Series A to Build Global IP Trade Infrastructure

CHENNAI / SINGAPORE -
Fipchain, parent of ProducerBazaar, has closed its Pre-Series A round, led by
Singapore-based accelerator River Ventures, with strategic participation from
Venture Forge Labs, angel investor Mr. Chandu Nair, and a consortium of
investors from India, UAE, and Germany. Panya Capital advised the transaction.

The capital advances
Fipchain&#039;s pursuit of meaningful share in the global TV, film, video, and AI
content IP marketplace valued at US$28 billion and projected at US$47 billion
by 2029 (19% CAGR). India is forecast as the second fastest-growing market at
22% CAGR; the broader digital creative economy is set to surpass US$7 trillion
by 2030.

Despite India&#039;s
content-producing scale, global IP trade remains fragmented, with no dominant
Indian-origin integrated IP exchange. ProducerBazaar - a marketplace for film,
series, and media IP discovery, licensing, and monetization—connects creators,
studios, OTTs, and international broadcasters. Fipchain envisions an integrated
IP lifecycle spanning governance, rights intelligence, discovery, and
transaction enablement.

marks a defining moment in building a transparent, scalable IP marketplace,&quot;
said Founder &amp; CEO G K Tirunavukarasu.

Co-Founder &amp; CBO
Vijay D added: &quot;Global demand for high-quality IP accelerates; our focus
is seamless, high-value cross-border transactions.&quot;

Proceeds will
strengthen core technology, AI-driven IP discovery, and expansion across Asia,
the Middle East, and Europe.

7. SecureNet

Reimagining
Surveillance and Premium Tech: The Rise of Shiv Shankar Singh

In an industry often
driven by price wars and commoditization, Shiv Shankar Singh is taking a
contrarian path—one that prioritizes precision, performance, and long-term
trust over short-term scale.

Hailing from
Prayagraj, Singh is emerging as a new-age entrepreneur who is not just building
businesses, but reshaping how entire categories operate.

At the center of this
transformation is SecureNet, his surveillance-focused venture that aims to
redefine the standards of safety infrastructure in India.

www.securenetindia.com

Rebuilding a
Fragmented Industry

India’s surveillance
market has long been dominated by inconsistent quality, fragmented
distribution, and heavy reliance on price-based competition. Singh identified
this gap early—and chose not to compete within it, but to change it.

Through SecureNet, he
is working toward building a trust-led surveillance ecosystem, where
performance and reliability are non-negotiable.

His guiding
philosophy, “Aap Surakshit Toh Desh Surakshit,” reflects a broader
vision—positioning security not merely as a product, but as a national
responsibility.

Rather than chasing
volume, SecureNet is focused on elevating product quality, after-sales support,
and long-term reliability, setting a new benchmark in a category that has
historically lacked standardization.

Entering the
High-Performance Gaming Market with SILOED

In a strategic
expansion, Singh is now entering India’s rapidly growing gaming hardware
segment with the launch of SILOED—a premium brand aimed at delivering high-end,
performance-first gaming products.

Unlike the
mass-market approach prevalent in the segment, SILOED is being positioned as a
high-performance, siloed ecosystem, catering to users who prioritize quality,
durability, and elite performance.

The move signals a
larger ambition—to not only participate in high-growth industries, but to
create differentiated, premium-first categories within them.

A Philosophy Rooted
in Discipline and Execution

Beyond his ventures,
Singh is also known for his work in mindset and personal development. As the
author of “Why Ordinary” and “How to be Extraordinary”, he advocates for a
disciplined approach to success—one that moves beyond motivation and focuses on
consistent execution.

His digital presence
further amplifies these ideas, where he shares practical insights on growth,
leadership, and building long-term value.

https://www.youtube.com/@shivshankarsinghmotivation

Building for the Long
Term

At a time when many
startups prioritize rapid scaling and visibility, Shiv Shankar Singh’s approach
stands out for its clarity and restraint.

His focus remains on:

Building
category-defining brands

Creating premium,
performance-driven products

Establishing trust as
a core business asset

As he expands across
surveillance and gaming technology, Singh represents a shift in Indian
entrepreneurship—where success is not just measured by scale, but by the
ability to set new standards in existing industries.

In a market crowded
with players, Shiv Shankar Singh is building something rarer—

not just businesses,
but benchmarks.

10. Leads Swap AI

Swagat Gathibandhe is
one of the most growing names in the field of lead generation. The transition
of India’s digital economy from volume-based marketing to technical precision
represents a significant structural shift. As the traditional
&quot;mass-outreach&quot; model reaches a point of diminishing returns, the
industry is moving toward more sophisticated, data-backed frameworks. At the
forefront of this evolution is Swagat, one of the youngest lead generation
experts in India, who is introducing a more clinical approach to client
acquisition.

At 19, Swagat’s work
centers on intent-based lead finding solutions and the development of LeadSwap
AI. This methodology moves away from generic broadcasts, focusing instead on
identifying a company’s specific requirements and internal &quot;buying
signals&quot; before any contact is initiated. This high-level logic is
currently utilized by firms supporting major Indian entities such as Tata
Communications, Croma, and UPL.

By identifying
verifiable indicators of a company&#039;s actual needs, the goal is to eliminate
cold prospecting in favor of solving problems for businesses already seeking
solutions. Swagat emphasizes the distinction between a qualified prospect and a
simple list:

&quot;If you still
have to &#039;sell&#039; to a lead despite them showing an intent to buy, then it isn&#039;t a
lead—it is just raw data.&quot;

For businesses
looking to scale, the choice to move beyond traditional methods is becoming a
necessity. Aligning with Swagat’s intent-driven systems ensures that a mutual
match is established before the first conversation begins. In an industry often
defined by abstract promises, Swagat is re-engineering the fundamental way
businesses connect, making him the definitive choice for those serious about
growth.

<title>HUFT’s New Summer ‘26 Collection Turns Everyday Moments into Little Tales of Joy</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/hufts-new-summer-26-collection-turns-everyday-moments-into-little-tales-of-joy</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/hufts-new-summer-26-collection-turns-everyday-moments-into-little-tales-of-joy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, April 2026 : Summer arrives quietly at first. In the
golden stretch of sunlight across your living room floor. In the slower
mornings, where your dog lingers a little longer by your side, and your cat
claims the coolest corner of the house as their own. Soon, it’s everywhere; in
the warmth of late afternoon walks, the hum of ceiling fans, and the easy
rhythm of days that feel just a bit more unhurried.

For
pet parents, summer is a season made up of these small, fleeting moments. The
kind that don’t ask for much, yet stay with you long after they’ve passed.

This
year, Heads Up For Tails
(HUFT) brings those moments to life with its Summer ‘26 collection, a
thoughtfully designed range that draws from the charm and whimsy of storybooks,
where the ordinary turns magical, and every day holds a little adventure.

Built
around the idea that the best stories aren’t always told, but lived, the
collection blends comfort, functionality, and playful design into pieces that
fit seamlessly into your pet’s summer routine. Picture dresses and tees, in
picnic gingham and sweet strawberries to safari inspired harnesses and cheerful
floral prints that makes every moment feel like a stroll through a sunlit page.

At
home, the story continues in quieter ways. Plush beds designed for afternoon
naps, cushioned mats that stay cool against the summer heat, and fabrics chosen
to be breathable, gentle, and pet-friendly, creating spaces where pets can
truly unwind. Whether it’s a lazy post-lunch nap or a pause between play
sessions, each piece is made to support the slower, softer rhythm of the
season.

“This
collection was inspired by the idea that summer, much like a storybook, is
filled with moments of lightness, curiosity, and joy,” says Geetanjali
Rastogi, Creative Director at Heads Up For Tails. “We wanted to create
designs that feel playful yet purposeful…pieces that not only look beautiful
but are also tailored for the realities of Indian summer. From breathable
fabrics and easy fits to thoughtful construction that allows for movement and
comfort, every detail has been carefully considered to ensure pets feel as good
as they look.”

True
to HUFT’s design philosophy, the collection balances aesthetics with
functionality. The silhouettes are easy, the materials are season-appropriate,
and every product is crafted keeping in mind how pets actually live, move, and
rest through the warmer months. The result is a range that feels intuitive and
naturally belongs in your pet’s day-to-day life.

But
beyond design and detail, Summer ‘26 is really about
something simpler. It’s about the joy of shared routines: the quiet
companionship of a nap, the excitement of an evening walk after the sun dips,
the comfort of simply being together. These are the moments that don’t need
embellishment, yet somehow feel a little more special when seen through a
softer, more imaginative lens.

“Summer
has a way of slowing things down and bringing us closer to the moments that
matter,” says Rashi Narang, Founder of Heads Up For Tails. “With the
Summer ‘26 collection we wanted to celebrate that feeling, the everyday
experiences we share with our pets that often become our most cherished
memories. It’s about finding magic in the ordinary, and creating a world where
our pets are right at the heart of every story.”

With
this collection, each detail, from a thoughtfully designed harness to a
perfectly cosy mat becomes part of a larger narrative. One where comfort meets
creativity, and where even the simplest moments can feel a little more meaningful.

Because
in the end, the best summer stories aren’t the ones we plan. They’re the ones
we stumble into: in sunlit corners, quiet afternoons, and the gentle, constant
presence of our pets.

<title>Rare Life&#45;Saving Cardiac Procedure by Dr. Gautam Naik Offers Hope to Patient with Advanced Right&#45;Sided Heart Failure</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/rare-life-saving-cardiac-procedure-by-dr-gautam-naik-offers-hope-to-patient-with-advanced-right-sided-heart-failure</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/rare-life-saving-cardiac-procedure-by-dr-gautam-naik-offers-hope-to-patient-with-advanced-right-sided-heart-failure</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, 5th May, 2026 : A 58-year-old Kenyan woman with advanced
right-sided heart failure has been successfully treated at Indraprastha Apollo
Hospital, New Delhi, in what doctors describe as a rare and pathbreaking
cardiac procedure, marking one of the early such interventions in India.

The patient had
previously undergone surgical tricuspid valve replacement in 2011 using a bioprosthetic
valve (Perimount 29 mm) in the context of a right atrial mass. Over time, the
valve degenerated, as is typical with bioprosthetic valves, occurring in her
case after nearly 15 years. When she presented again, she was found to have
torrential tricuspid regurgitation along with significant valve gradients
(peak/mean: 16/10 mmHg) and severe right ventricular dysfunction, placing her
in a very high-risk category.

Given the complexity of
her condition, she had been declined for further intervention at multiple
leading centres across the country.

At Indraprastha Apollo
Hospital, New Delhi, the Heart Valve team, led by interventional cardiologist
Dr Gautam Naik as the primary operator, undertook a transcatheter
valve-in-valve procedure, an advanced, minimally invasive technique. Surgical
expertise and post-procedural intensive care support were provided by Dr Mukesh
Goel and Dr Deepa Sarkar respectively, in conjunction with the hospital’s
cardiac intensive care team.

A Sapien Ultra Resilia
29 mm transcatheter heart valve was successfully implanted within the failing
surgical valve. Intra-procedural transesophageal echocardiography confirmed
complete elimination of the regurgitation, with an excellent immediate
post-procedural gradient of just 2 mmHg.

The post-operative
period, however, posed significant challenges. The patient continued to have
right ventricular dysfunction, accompanied by low blood pressure and reduced
urine output in the initial days. She required intensive care support,
including inotropes and careful fluid management.

Over the following
days, her condition steadily improved. Right ventricular function began to
recover, urine output normalized, and her blood pressure stabilised, allowing
gradual withdrawal of inotropic support.

She was discharged
within six days in stable condition. At one-week follow-up, she reported
dramatic symptomatic improvement and has since returned to her home country.

Doctors at Apollo
described the case as a “grand success,” highlighting not just the technical
achievement but the meaningful clinical recovery in a patient who had exhausted
conventional options.

“This case underscores
the evolving role of transcatheter therapies in managing complex valvular heart
disease, especially in patients considered inoperable,”
said Dr Naik. “What makes this especially rewarding is
the patient’s recovery despite significant pre-existing right ventricular
dysfunction.”

The case adds to the
growing body of evidence supporting minimally invasive valve-in-valve therapies
and reinforces the capability of Indian centres in performing cutting-edge
structural heart interventions.

<title>Banza Raises USD 1 Million to Help People Build and Own Their Personal AI Twin</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/banza-raises-usd-1-million-to-help-people-build-and-own-their-personal-ai-twin</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/banza-raises-usd-1-million-to-help-people-build-and-own-their-personal-ai-twin</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
India | 5th May 2026 : Funding
led by Campus Fund with participation from Avalanche and leading angel
investors to back a more personal future for AI. Banza today announced it has
raised $1 million USD in a pre-seed funding round led by Campus Fund, with
participation from Avalanche and a group of leading angel investors.

Banza is
building toward a future where every person can build and own a personal AI
Twin that becomes more useful, more personal, and more human over time. While
much of today’s AI still feels broad and interchangeable, Banza is built on a
different belief: the next important chapter of AI will be shaped by personal
relevance.

Across
digital platforms, recommendations are often influenced by platform incentives,
siloed systems, and fragmented context. Food delivery apps prioritize
visibility within their own marketplace. Streaming platforms can only recommend
from within their own libraries. Generic AI tools respond intelligently, but
often without truly understanding the person behind the prompt. The result is
an internet full of suggestions that are useful to platforms, but not always
aligned with the individual.

Banza is
building a different model. Its AI Twin is designed to learn from a user’s
preferences, habits, and context over time, helping them make better decisions
across everyday life, and often acting ahead of them. From what to eat and
watch to where to go, what to buy, and how to plan experiences, the goal is to
create AI that works in the user’s favor, not the platform’s.

“Most
recommendations today are shaped by what works for the platform, not what truly
works for the person,” said Aditya Vijaykumar, CTO at Banza. “Each service sees
only a fragment of who you are, which makes the experience biased, siloed, and
incomplete. We believe people should be able to build and own an AI Twin that
understands them more deeply over time and works in their favor across everyday
decisions.”

The funding
will be used to accelerate product development, deepen the user experience,
grow the team, and strengthen the foundation for this new category of personal
AI. Banza also sees this as an important step toward a future where AI becomes
a layer individuals can shape around their own lives, rather than a system they
must constantly adapt to.

With over
200,000 users already on the platform, Banza is entering this next chapter at a
time when AI is becoming part of everyday life, yet still often feels impersonal.
The company’s long-term vision is to build a personal intelligence layer for
everyday life that helps people turn fragmented digital behaviour into
something that works in their favor.

About Banza

Banza is building a future where every person can build and own a
personal AI Twin that becomes more useful over time. By helping users turn
fragmented digital behaviour into AI that works in their favor, Banza is
shaping a more personal and human layer for everyday life.

The company is remote-first, with the team spread across states and united by a
shared belief that AI should work for people, not platforms.

Banza was founded by Mehdi Abdi (CEO), Suraj Mulla (CBO), and Aditya Vijaykumar

<title>Why PF Claims Get Stuck for Years—And How Kustodian.life Has Helped Recover Over ₹150 Crore</title>

<description><![CDATA[ For three years, Rohan had Rs. 6.8 lakh in his EPF account.
He had already submitted four claims. It was turned down each time - with no
apparent reason.

In another case, Priya was rejected five times due to a
discrepancy between her Aadhaar and EPF records- an initial and full name
discrepancy which she, herself, did not know about. Nearly Rs. 8.4 lakh was
stuck.

The two claims were processed successfully in weeks after
the correction of the underlying records.

These cases are more common than many people might think.
Over 150 crore of such funds have been recovered in the past two years, with Kustodian helping
families, on average, 12 lakh of the money per user. The trend is a sign of
larger issue within the Indian financial system; money that exists, but is not
accessible due to fragmented records and process dependencies.

The problem begins with small discrepancies in the majority
of situations. The inability to process claims may be caused by a mismatch
between systems in the name, inaccurate date of birth, or missing KYC data.
Employer or institution reliance can be prone to aggravate these problems, and
a misplaced update or delay halts the entire process.

This is especially evident in EPF withdrawals. Claims are
frequently rejected without clear justification or are awaiting weeks. The
users will also be likely to reclaim the same claim, hoping for a different
outcome. However, when a claim is started, it is not resolved until the records
are amended.

Other cases reflect how easily this can happen. Individuals
who have switched multiple jobs often find their PF spread across accounts,
with incomplete transfers blocking withdrawals entirely. In some instances,
funds remain unclaimed for years because exit records were never updated,
leaving the system to treat the individual as still employed.

Based on an internal analysis of these cases, the actual
withdrawal request is rarely the root problem—it only accounts for 17.8% of the
hurdles. The real roadblocks lie much deeper in the underlying records. The
biggest blockers aren’t withdrawals—they’re deeper system issues. Transfers
account for 22.3% of cases, followed by contribution mismatches (18.9%), KYC
discrepancies (18.6%), and account-level issues like incorrect joining or exit
details (14.8%).

In most cases, the money is already there—it’s just locked
behind incorrect or incomplete records.

Kustodian
was built to address this gap by helping users identify and fix such issues in
a structured, system-aligned way. Instead of bypassing processes, it works
within existing frameworks—correcting records across EPFO and related
institutions so that claims can be processed as intended. This ensures that
outcomes remain compliant, verifiable, and permanent.

While EPF is often the starting point, similar patterns
extend to insurance claims, dormant bank accounts, and inheritance-linked
funds, where documentation gaps or fragmented records create comparable
barriers. Together, they point to a broader challenge around accessing money
that rightfully belongs to individuals and families.

There are often early signs that something may
be wrong—claims that remain unresolved beyond a few weeks, repeated rejections,
or inconsistencies in account details. At that stage, simply retrying the
process usually doesn’t help unless the underlying records are corrected. In
such cases, repeated attempts rarely change the outcome. In many situations,
once the right checks are applied across systems, the issue becomes clear
fairly quickly.

Kustodian offers a quick PF check
that helps surface these issues—often within minutes—before they turn into
long-term blockers

As India’s financial ecosystem continues to evolve, much of
the focus has been on enabling investments and wealth creation. But accessing
that wealth, especially when systems don’t align, remains a separate challenge.
In a system where growing wealth has become easier, accessing it shouldn’t
remain this difficult.

If your claim has been delayed, rejected, or feels stuck,
it’s worth checking what’s actually blocking it—because in most cases, the
issue won’t resolve until the underlying records are fixed.

About Kustodian.life

Kustodian is a platform that helps individuals identify and
resolve issues across EPF, Shares, Real Estate and other financial claims
through a structured, end-to-end process

<title>One Platform. Every Channel. VeUp Technologies Redefines How Enterprises Communicate at Scale</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/one-platform-every-channel-veup-technologies-redefines-how-enterprises-communicate-at-scale</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/one-platform-every-channel-veup-technologies-redefines-how-enterprises-communicate-at-scale</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Bengaluru,
India: VeUp Technologies,
the enterprise communication infrastructure company, today announced it has
crossed 300 million messages delivered per month. The milestone marks the
platform’s emergence as a core layer of India’s digital business
infrastructure, handling the critical, invisible routing of OTPs, transaction
alerts, customer onboarding flows, and real-time notifications that underpin
India’s fastest-growing digital businesses.

The
company reports 99.99% platform uptime and a 99% success rate for OTP delivery,
figures that carry direct, measurable consequences for any business where
customer onboarding, transactions, or authentication depend on real-time
communication reaching its destination.

To
see how VeUp can power your business-critical communication flows, connect with our team
and get started with a tailored solution.

The Communication Layer
Most Enterprises Don’t Know Is Broken

India’s
digital economy runs on communication. Every fintech onboarding, every
e-commerce transaction alert, every lending disbursement, every healthcare
appointment, each is held together by a thread of messages that must reach the
right person, on the right channel, without fail. Yet the most critical
failures don’t happen at the channel level. They happen in the middleware layer
that routes, prioritises, and delivers those messages.

This
invisible infrastructure layer is typically fragmented across multiple vendors,
manually managed, and largely opaque to the enterprises that depend on it. A
single delivery failure can translate directly into customer churn, failed
authentication, or compliance risk. VeUp was built to replace that
fragmentation with a single, intelligent, always-on communication backbone.

&quot;Businesses
don&#039;t lose customers because they don&#039;t communicate. They lose them because
communication fails,&quot; said Pankaj Jain, Founder of VeUp Technologies. “We
built VeUp to ensure that every message reaches, every time.”

A Unified, Intelligent
Communication Backbone Built for India’s Complexity

VeUp’s
platform consolidates SMS, WhatsApp, and RCS into a single API and centralised
management interface, eliminating the fragmented vendor stack that defines most
enterprise communication setups today. At its core is an intelligent routing
engine that evaluates user behaviour patterns, device preferences, network
conditions, and historical delivery performance before every send,
automatically selecting the channel and provider with the highest probability
of successful delivery.

When
one provider experiences congestion or failure, the system reroutes instantly,
with no manual intervention and no impact to the end user. The platform is
architected specifically for the Indian regulatory and infrastructure
environment: DLT compliance is built in, high-volume burst scenarios are
handled natively, and local telecom network characteristics are factored
directly into routing logic, challenges that global platforms routinely
underestimate.

Enterprises
looking to simplify and strengthen their communication stack can connect with VeUp Technologies
to explore a solution tailored to their scale and
complexity.

Velocity: High-Performance
Middleware for Enterprise-Scale Traffic

Beyond
its unified CPaaS suite, VeUp offers Velocity, a purpose-built high-performance
messaging middleware and intelligent load balancer designed for enterprises
managing millions of messages and API requests in real time. Velocity enables
businesses to route communication traffic across multiple vendors through a
single control layer, eliminating single-provider dependency and maintaining
consistent throughput at peak demand.

The
platform’s architecture, designed for India’s scale, diversity, and regulatory
complexity from inception, positions it equally well for expansion into other
high-growth emerging markets that share similar infrastructure and compliance
characteristics.

Built for
India. Designed to Scale.

VeUp
serves enterprises across the BFSI, fintech, healthcare, logistics, e-commerce,
and digital lending sectors where regulatory adherence is non-negotiable and a
single delivery failure can translate directly into customer churn or
compliance risk. With channels spanning SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, email, and voice,
and infrastructure capable of processing over millions of API calls per day for
individual enterprise clients, the platform is engineered for the realities of
operating at India’s digital scale.

The
Road Ahead

As
businesses continue to expand their digital presence, the demand for scalable
and reliable communication infrastructure is expected to grow. Organisations
are increasingly looking for solutions that not only provide access to channels
but also simplify management and ensure consistent performance.

VeUp
is positioning itself to meet this demand through its full-stack approach,
combining CPaaS services, omnichannel capabilities, and infrastructure-level
control.

Behind
this momentum is the VeUp Technologies team, working tirelessly to make
communication faster, more reliable, and ensure every message reaches where it
matters.

About VeUp Technologies

VeUp Technologies
is an enterprise communication infrastructure company headquartered in
Bengaluru, India. The company’s unified platform connects businesses to their
customers across SMS, WhatsApp, and RCS through a single intelligent API, with
a routing and orchestration layer that ensures reliability, compliance, and
performance at scale. VeUp serves 200+ enterprises across BFSI, fintech,
healthcare, logistics, and e-commerce, processing over 300 million messages
every month with 99.99% uptime and a 99% OTP delivery success rate.

<title>Abhay Bhutada Foundation Extends Support to Shivsrushti, Offers Free Access for Women and Students</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/abhay-bhutada-foundation-extends-support-to-shivsrushti-offers-free-access-for-women-and-students</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/abhay-bhutada-foundation-extends-support-to-shivsrushti-offers-free-access-for-women-and-students</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune, India, 5 May 2026 : The Abhay Bhutada Foundation, led by its founder and chairman, CA
Abhay Bhutada, has announced an initiative to enable free entry at Shivsrushti
from May 1 to June 27, 2026, improving access to cultural and historical
learning. Shivsrushti, dedicated to the life and legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji
Maharaj, offers an experiential journey through history using storytelling,
exhibits, and interactive environments.

Under this initiative, women and students
under the age of 18 can visit the immersive historical theme park at no cost,
making it an ideal summer outing for mothers and children to explore together.
Supported by the Foundation’s financial contribution, the effort aims to reduce
access barriers and encourage families to spend meaningful time engaging with
India’s cultural heritage. Parents and guardians accompanying children can plan
their visits through structured bookings, ensuring a smoother and more
accessible experience during the holiday period.

This initiative builds on the Abhay Bhutada
Foundation’s continued financial support for the project. In 2025, the
Foundation contributed INR 50 lakh, followed by an additional INR 75 lakh,
which helped reduce ticket prices to INR 50 for a limited period. This led to
over 1.5 lakh visitors experiencing Shivsrushti, demonstrating how improved
affordability can significantly increase participation. The current initiative
takes this effort further by enabling completely free access for women and
children.

CA Abhay Bhutada, Entrepreneur,
Philanthropist, and Chairman of TAB Global Ventures and Abhay Bhutada
Foundation, said, “Our continued support to Shivsrushti is driven by a simple
objective: To make cultural learning more accessible. After seeing the strong
response last year, we felt it was important to take this a step further by
enabling free entry for women and children. We hope this allows more families,
particularly mothers and children, to visit during the summer and engage with
history in a more experiential and meaningful way.”

The Shivsrushti team expressed gratitude
for the Foundation’s support, which has enabled free access for women and
children under 18, creating a meaningful summer outing for mothers and their
children. This initiative reflects the Foundation’s continued commitment to
expanding access to cultural spaces, with its contributions playing a key role
in making experiences like Shivsrushti more inclusive and accessible to a wider
audience.

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. ]]></description>

<title>Nirbhay Arya from Arya Samaj Movement, Engages in Scriptural Debate with Puri Shankaracharya in Kashi, Draws Attention</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/nirbhay-arya-from-arya-samaj-movement-engages-in-scriptural-debate-with-puri-shankaracharya-in-kashi-draws-attention</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/nirbhay-arya-from-arya-samaj-movement-engages-in-scriptural-debate-with-puri-shankaracharya-in-kashi-draws-attention</guid>
<description><![CDATA[                        

Varanasi,
May 04, 2026: A remarkable instance of youthful scholarship
and confidence was witnessed in Kashi when Nirbhay Arya, a young Arya Samaj
preacher, engaged in a direct scriptural discussion with Swami Nischalananda
Saraswati at the Dakshinamurti Math.                    

Swami
Nischalananda Saraswati is the Shankaracharya of the Govardhan Math, one of the
four principal monastic institutions of the Advaita Vedanta
tradition.Nishchalananda Saraswati is an Indian Hindu spiritual leader and
scholar in the Advaita Vedanta tradition. He is the 145th Jagadguru
Shankaracharya of the Purvamnaya Sri Govardhana Peetha of Puri, Odisha, India 

The
discussion was part of an open religious interaction where Audience were
invited to seek explanations on scriptural matters directly from the Puri
Shankaracharya. In this setting, Nirbhay Arya stepped forward to present his
questions and viewpoints on key philosophical subjects.

Nirbhay
Arya is a young religious preacher affiliated with the Arya Samaj Movement, As
the interaction progressed, the discussion gradually evolved into a more
intense and structured debate. Nirbhay Arya raised thoughtful and systematic
questions related to concepts such as divine incarnation, liberation (moksha),
and the nature of an omnipotent God.

Observers
present at the event noted that the depth and sharpness of his questions
appeared to momentarily surprise and challenge the Shankaracharya, drawing
heightened attention from the audience. His confidence and continuity in
presenting counter-arguments further strengthened the intensity of the
exchange.                                   

The
moment also carried historical significance. Kashi has long been a center of
scriptural debates, and it is remembered that Swami Dayanand Saraswati, the
founder of the Arya Samaj, had also engaged in similar debates in the city.
Many observers viewed Nirbhay Arya’s participation as a continuation of that
tradition, symbolically returning to the same intellectual ground.

The
interaction highlighted a rare instance where a young participant actively
engaged in traditional scriptural discourse with an established religious
authority, creating an atmosphere of inquiry, debate, and philosophical
exchange. Following the discussion, the event continued to generate
conversations among attendees and on social platforms, with many noting the
significance of youth participation in classical philosophical traditions.  This episode has brought renewed attention to
the enduring culture of debate in Kashi and the role of young scholars in
engaging with long-standing intellectual traditions. While speaking to the
press, Nirbhay’s associate and Arya Samaj preacher from West Bengal, Sandeepan
Roy, stated that this marks a significant victory for the ideas of the Arya Samaj. ]]></description>

<title>Indian Railways Embraces AI&#45;Driven Workforce Verification System&amp;apos; 1.2 Million Employees</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/indian-railways-embraces-ai-driven-workforce-verification-system-12-million-employees</link>

<description><![CDATA[ India&#039;s
largest employer begins deployment of offline facial verification and
tamper-proof blockchain records across its 1.2 million-strong workforce,
building on technology that cut ghost employee fraud by 90% in prior government
deployments

5th
May 2026 : Indian Railways has commenced the
implementation of DRISHTI, an AI and blockchain-powered Smart Workforce
Management System that uses facial recognition and tamper-proof digital records
to verify worker attendance and prevent fraud, being rolled out across the
railway network, beginning with operations in Prayagraj.

The
system, developed by ChainCode Consulting LLP
in collaboration with Billions Network, the
universal human and AI verification platform, and Aptos Foundation,
can verify entire teams from a single group photograph, works without internet
connectivity, and creates permanent, tamper-proof records of every attendance
event. It is designed for both field and office personnel across Indian
Railways&#039; operations.

Indian
Railways is one of the world&#039;s largest employers, with more than 1.2 million
personnel operating across 7,300 stations and 18 zones. The rollout begins in
Prayagraj, with completion of the initial regional deployment expected within
three months and expansion across the wider network to follow.

Where
previous government deployments of the same technology, eliminated ghost employee fraud by up to 90%,
reduced payroll costs by 30-40%, and halved payment delays, the Indian Railways
implementation brings those proven standards to a new, high-profile use case
with the potential to set a global precedent for workforce governance at scale.

Managing
attendance verification across a workforce this large and geographically spread
has historically been vulnerable to ghost employee fraud and
administrative inefficiencies, challenges that DRISHTI is designed to address
directly.

The
system works offline, a critical requirement for railway operations in remote
and rural areas where internet connectivity is unreliable. It can identify
multiple workers simultaneously from a single photograph and locks every record
on the Aptos blockchain, making it impossible to alter after the fact. The
platform also handles supervisor approvals, real-time reporting dashboards,
task allocation, and leave management.

&quot;AI-driven
smart solutions with blockchain security are key to good governance. By combining
facial recognition with blockchain&#039;s permanent, traceable records, we eliminate
major security risks and give organizations greater control over workforce data
integrity,&quot; said Alok Gupta, Founder and CEO, ChainCode Consulting LLP.

ChainCode
Consulting has previously pioneered blockchain-based attendance and identity
platforms for different India&#039;s Government Bodies and contributed digital
verification infrastructure for MahaKumbh 2025, one of the world&#039;s largest
gatherings.

&quot;Every
worker in a system this vast deserves to be accurately identified and fairly
compensated without that requiring handing over sensitive personal data. That&#039;s
the problem we&#039;re solving: identity verification that works for people. What
India is building here shows how the world&#039;s largest institutions can operate
with both accountability and dignity,&quot; said Evin McMullen, CEO and
Co-Founder of Billions Network.

Billions
provides the decentralized identity and reusable identity infrastructure
underpinning DRISHTI, building on the company&#039;s proven track record in
high-stakes verification, including joint proofs-of-concept with Deutsche Bank
and HSBC for advanced KYC solutions.

Ashwin Pampati, SVP and Head of Ecosystem
at Aptos Foundation, added:
“Reliable, high-performance blockchain infrastructure is essential for
nation-scale public-sector systems like DRISHTI, where data integrity, security
and auditability are non-negotiable. Aptos provides a strong blockchain
foundation that supports exactly these requirements.”

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Generic Semaglutide Injection developed by
Orbicular receives Notice of Compliance from Health Canada — our second G-7
Approval by stringent regulatory authority (SRA) to greenlight the program
after the U.S. FDA’s Tentative Approval

●       
A fully indigenous Indian innovation: API, pen
device, formulation, manufacturing and analytical technology developed
end-to-end within India

Orbicular
Pharmaceutical Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a specialty pharmaceutical company
focused on complex generics and peptide-based therapeutics, today announced
that a generic version of Ozempic (semaglutide injection), developed in
partnership with Apotex, has received a Notice of Compliance (NOC) from Health
Canada. The product will be marketed and commercialized in Canada by Apotex Inc.,
the applicant of record and Canada’s largest pharmaceutical company.

The market
authorization covers two presentations — 2 mg / 3 mL (0.68 mg/mL) and 4
mg / 3 mL (1.34 mg/mL) — matching the concentration and fill-volume profile
of the reference product, which patients and prescribers in Canada are already
familiar with. This approval marks the Health Canada Notice of Compliance
issued for a generic semaglutide injection. With diagnosed diabetes affecting
an estimated 3.9 million Canadians and Canada recognised as the world’s
second-largest market for semaglutide, immediate availability is expected to be
a meaningful differentiator for patients, payers and the healthcare system.

Back-to-back G7
approvals — scientific rigor translated into delivery

The Health Canada NOC
follows the U.S. FDA’s Tentative Approval of the same program earlier this
year. Securing back-to-back authorizations from two of the world’s most
demanding regulators — for a product class where peptide stability, device
compatibility and analytical comparability have historically delayed generic
entry — underscores the scientific and quality robustness of Orbicular’s
program. Health Canada itself has noted that semaglutide is a complex synthetic
peptide whose generic versions must demonstrate equivalence in safety, efficacy
and quality without any differences that could affect those parameters — a bar
that has slowed the broader competitive field. The program reflects Orbicular’s
integrated development model, which combines advanced analytical capabilities,
deep peptide and process understanding, and disciplined regulatory execution to
bring technically complex products to global regulated markets.

Dr. M. S. Mohan, Managing Director, Orbicular
Pharmaceutical Technologies, said: “Receiving Notice of Compliance from
Health Canada, following the U.S. FDA&#039;s Tentative Approval, is a significant
milestone for Orbicular and reflects the depth of capability we have built in
complex peptide development. This outcome is driven by the strength, rigor, and
resilience of our teams, whose integrated approach across formulation,
analytics, and regulatory strategy enables us to convert complexity into speed
and certainty. It further validates our model of delivering high-value, IP-led
assets in challenging therapeutic segments. Peptides remain a strategic growth
area for Orbicular, with Semaglutide the first of several programs in our
pipeline targeted at global regulated markets. With commercial inventory in
place and Apotex as our market partner, we are well positioned to support
timely access for Canadian patients.”

Martin Arès, President, Apotex Canada and Rest
of World (ROW), said: “This approval reflects our Canadian
roots and our commitment to improving access to medicines. As a Canadian-based
global health company, we are proud to bring forward a high-quality, affordable
alternative that supports patients, prescribers, and the long-term
sustainability of our healthcare system. We look forward to bringing this
product to market in the very near future.”

<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/titan-debuts-divers-watch-collection-in-mumbai-at-khimani-watch-company</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/titan-debuts-divers-watch-collection-in-mumbai-at-khimani-watch-company</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, May 4, 2026 : Titan, India’s leading watchmaker, has launched its Diver’s Watch
Collection in Mumbai, marking its entry into the performance-driven dive watch
category. The collection was introduced at Khimani Watch Company, a
well-established destination for watch enthusiasts in the city. This
association ensures that the collection is available through a trusted retail
destination with a strong understanding of the local watch market and its
consumers.

The Diver’s Collection is priced between
₹15,795 and ₹77,995 and comprises twelve models across four water-resistance
levels including 100m, 200m, 300m, and 500m offered in both quartz and
automatic variants. The range has been developed to address varied usage
contexts, from everyday aquatic activity to more demanding underwater
conditions, marking Titan’s entry into a segment defined by precision and
durability.

At the forefront of the lineup is the 500m
professional diver’s watch, representing Titan’s most advanced offering in this
category. Crafted from Grade 2 Titanium, the watch features the Aqua Lock
mechanism designed to prevent unintended bezel movement during dives. Each
piece is built in line with ISO 6425 standards, underscoring its credentials as
a purpose-built dive instrument. The watch also includes a sapphire
unidirectional bezel, helium escape valve, sapphire crystal with
anti-reflective coating, and Titan’s in-house 7AC0 automatic movement with a
40-hour power reserve.

Commenting on the launch, Atul Khimani, Owner,
Khimani Watch Company, said, “Over the past
few years, we’ve seen a clear shift in Mumbai toward watches that are backed by
strong engineering and purpose, not just design. Titan’s Diver’s Collection
enters at the right moment, offering credible dive specifications while
remaining versatile for everyday wear. It’s a category that has been gaining
interest, and this collection makes it far more accessible to a wider set of
consumers.”

Across the collection, Titan has combined
functionality with a distinctive design approach. The watches feature textured
gradient dials inspired by underwater depth, complemented by clean finishing
details and high-performance X1-C3 Swiss Super-LumiNova for enhanced
visibility. While the 300m and 500m variants are equipped with automatic
movements and advanced dive features, the 100m and 200m models focus on
reliability and ease of use through quartz precision and robust stainless steel
construction.

With this launch, Titan enters the
professional dive watch segment, presenting a collection that blends technical
performance with contemporary design for a new generation of watch enthusiasts. ]]></description>

<title>‘Nourish the Future’ strengthens maternal and child nutrition outcomes in Dantewada and Bastar through community&#45;led action</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/nourish-the-future-strengthens-maternal-and-child-nutrition-outcomes-in-dantewada-and-bastar-through-community-led-action</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/nourish-the-future-strengthens-maternal-and-child-nutrition-outcomes-in-dantewada-and-bastar-through-community-led-action</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Dantewada: Under its flagship Nourish the Future initiative, Rise Against
Hunger India organised a large-scale community engagement programme in
Katekalyan block of Dantewada district, Chhattisgarh, bringing together over
350 pregnant women, lactating mothers, Poshan Mitras, adolescents, and
community volunteers.

The initiative adopts a
community-led approach, where Community Resource Persons and local volunteers
drive planning, outreach, and service delivery. The initiative focused on
extending essential maternal and child health support to under-served populations
who fall outside the coverage of existing Community Kitchen Centers (CKCs). Despite
being newly introduced, the model received strong participation and acceptance
from local communities

A key focus of the programme has
been last-mile service delivery through convergence with government
departments, including health and ICDS. This collaboration has enhanced access
to ANC and PNC services, growth monitoring, and institutional delivery support,
ensuring that vulnerable populations are better connected to essential public
health systems.

The programme has resulted in
notable improvements across key indicators in Dantewada and Bastar, where
baseline levels were initially low. Maternal nutritional status (BMI,
weight-for-age, and haemoglobin levels) improved from 58.19% to 60.34%. Over
85% of women and 91% of children participating in growth monitoring reported
weight gain. The initiative also contributed to increased completion of recommended
ANC visits, strengthened referral and follow-up systems, and improved early
identification of high-risk cases. Additionally, the program facilitated 78
institutional deliveries.

As part of the programme, baby
care kits and mother care kits were distributed to support maternal and child
wellbeing. Mass level awareness programs organised through street plays in
local context. A convergence meeting was also organised with participation from
key government stakeholders, recognising the contributions of frontline
workers, Community Resource Persons, and volunteers in strengthening the
initiative.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Dola
Mohapatra, CEO, Rise Against Hunger India, emphasised the importance of
collective action: “Sustainable improvements in maternal and child nutrition
are only possible when communities lead the change and systems respond
effectively. Our approach integrates nutrition support with health services,
behaviour change, and community engagement to ensure long-term impact.”

The event concluded with a joint
commitment from community members, frontline workers, and government
representatives to further strengthen coordination and sustain the progress
achieved.

Nourish the Future is a signature
programme of Rise Against Hunger India, focused on improving maternal and child
health and nutrition during the first 1,000 days. Implemented across under-served
regions in Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha, the programme continues
to bridge critical gaps in nutrition, healthcare access, and community
awareness through an integrated, outcome-driven approach.

The initiative
forms part of the organisation’s broader Hunger-Free Village
model, which seeks to ensure sustainable food security and aligns with its goal
of empowering communities to end hunger by 2030.

<title>Hebbevu Genetics Partners ACN Agropecuária at ExpoZebu, Marks First Indian Presence at ABCZ in 70 Years</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/hebbevu-genetics-partners-acn-agropecuaria-at-expozebu-marks-first-indian-presence-at-abcz-in-70-years</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/hebbevu-genetics-partners-acn-agropecuaria-at-expozebu-marks-first-indian-presence-at-abcz-in-70-years</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India, May 04, 2026 :
Hebbevu Genetics, a cattle genetics company driving productivity through
science-led breeding systems, has initiated a global collaboration with ACN
Agropecuária at ExpoZebu 2026, positioning India at the centre of a renewed
global focus on elite desi cattle genetics. The announcement was made at the
premises of ABCZ (Associação Brasileira dos Criadores de Zebu), marking the
first time in over 70 years that an Indian organisation has hosted a formal
engagement at the venue.

This collaboration brings together India, the
origin of Zebu cattle, and Brazil, known for its long-standing work in
scientific breeding, with a shared focus on advancing structured breeding
practices, strengthening indigenous bloodlines, and improving on-ground
outcomes for dairy farmers. The initiative is centred on knowledge exchange,
access to globally benchmarked breeding systems, and the integration of proven
genetic lines within Indian farm conditions.

Through this effort, Indian farmers will gain
exposure to performance-proven bloodlines such as Gir Leiteiro, Girolando,
Ongole, and Red Sindhi, alongside structured breeding approaches that focus on
consistency, reproductive efficiency, and long-term herd improvement. At the
same time, the collaboration creates a pathway for Indian-origin desi cow
genetics to gain wider global recognition as resilient, high-value genetic
resources suited for evolving climate and productivity needs.

The initiative addresses long-standing
challenges in India’s dairy ecosystem, including uneven milk yield and
fragmented breeding practices. By promoting structured breeding programs,
including the use of sex-sorted semen and advanced reproductive techniques such
as IVF and embryo transfer, the effort aims to make outcomes more predictable
and scalable at the farm level.

For farmers, the focus remains on improving
productivity, strengthening herd quality, and building long-term asset value
through more reliable and scientific breeding systems. The broader intent is to
move towards a more organised, systems-led approach where genetic potential is
effectively translated into real-world performance.

A spokesperson from Hebbevu Genetics said: “This
collaboration is about taking Indian desi cow genetics to global markets in a
structured and scalable way, while simultaneously transforming productivity at
the farm level. By introducing performance-proven bloodlines through structured
breeding programs, farmers can achieve multi-fold improvements in milk yield
under the right management conditions. At the same time, we are building direct
export pathways to position Indian genetics as a global asset.”

A representative from ACN Agropecuária added:“This
partnership creates a strong bridge between Indian-origin genetics and global
breeding systems, enabling long-term value creation across markets.”

In the coming months, the focus will be on
strengthening these exchange frameworks, validating breeding approaches under
Indian conditions, and expanding access for farmers. Over time, the initiative
aims to contribute to a more sustainable, productivity-led dairy ecosystem,
while reinforcing India’s position as a global leader in elite desi cattle
genetics.

This move reflects iNvent’s broader retail strategy making premium
Apple products more  accessible while
enhancing the in-store purchase experience with real, immediate value. 

Unlike typical launch promotions that rely only on
visibility, iNvent is focusing on conversion led retail, where pricing,
bundling, and timing come together to drive footfall and sales from  Day 1. 

Customers who pre-book will be among the first to collect
their devices at the Moti Nagar  store on
launch day, turning early adoption into a more rewarding, experience-led
purchase.

With Delhi NCR continuing to see strong demand for premium
tech, iNvent’s Moti Nagar store  is
positioned as a key addition to its expanding retail footprint bringing Apple’s
ecosystem  closer to consumers through a
mix of accessibility, experience, and value.

<title>Total Sports &amp;amp; Fitness expands footprint with Pune flagship store, eye’s India’s rising sports and fitness demand</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
May 2, 2026 : Total Sports &amp; Fitness,
India’s leading multi-brand sports and fitness retail chain, has announced the
launch of its flagship store in Pune, marking a strategic expansion into one of
the country’s fastest-growing sports, fitness and lifestyle markets. Located at
Rise Alta Prime Plaza, Bhumkar Chowk in Pimpri-Chinchwad, the new flagship
store is designed as a comprehensive destination for sports enthusiasts,
fitness seekers, and active lifestyle consumers, offering a curated range of
global and domestic brands under one roof.

The
Pune flagship store by Total Sports &amp; Fitness is designed as a
comprehensive destination for sports and fitness enthusiasts, bringing together
a wide range of equipment, gear, and active lifestyle products across
categories under one roof. Spread across 5000 sq. ft., the store offers
over 5,000+ unique products from 100+ leading brands, catering to
everyone from beginners to serious athletes. With a legacy dating back to 2003
and a growing base of over 6,00,000+ happy customers, the brand is focused
on delivering a truly complete shopping experience—where expert guidance,
product knowledge, and personalised assistance come together to replicate the
role of a trusted coach. The Pune store reflects this philosophy, combining
depth of assortment with a passionate, well-trained team to ensure every
customer finds the right solution for their fitness journey.

Commenting
on the launch, Niteen Shah, Founder &amp; Managing Director, Total Sports
&amp; Fitness, said “India’s fitness journey is at a pivotal inflection
point, where awareness is translating into action. As consumers become more
conscious about health and performance, there is a clear shift towards quality
products, guided experiences, and specialised retail environments. Our Pune
flagship store is designed to bridge this gap—bringing together global brands,
expert guidance, and a community-led approach under one roof.”

The
launch comes at a time when India’s fitness and sports retail ecosystem is
witnessing strong momentum. The country’s sports and fitness goods market,
valued at approximately USD 2.5 billion in 2025, is projected to grow to over
USD 4 billion by 2034, driven by rising health awareness, urbanisation, and
increasing disposable incomes. At a broader level, India’s fitness industry—currently
estimated at ₹16,200 crore—is expected to more than double by 2030, reflecting
a sustained shift towards preventive healthcare and active living.

Despite
this growth, penetration remains relatively low, with less than 1% of India’s
population actively engaged in organised fitness ecosystems—highlighting a
significant opportunity for organised retail players such as Total Sports to
shape consumer behaviour and access. Against this backdrop, Total Sports &amp;
Fitness is positioning itself as a key enabler in India’s evolving sports
retail landscape, moving beyond transactional retail to create a more
experiential and accessible ecosystem for consumers.

The
choice of Pune as a flagship market reflects its emergence as one of India’s
most dynamic fitness hubs, driven by a large base of young professionals,
students, and an increasingly health-conscious population. The city has
witnessed a sharp rise in participation across running, cycling, gym fitness,
and recreational sports, with community-led movements such as marathons. Pune
has evolved into a city where fitness is now a lifestyle. Coupled with strong
consumer spending in West India—which contributes over 30% of the country’s
sports and fitness goods market—Pune presents a compelling opportunity for organised,
experience-led sports retail.

Niteen
Shah further added “Our Pune flagship store is designed as more than just a
retail space—it’s an experience-led hub that reflects how consumer expectations
in sports and fitness are evolving. Today’s customers are looking for
personalised, immersive experiences, not just products, as fitness increasingly
becomes a part of everyday lifestyle. Through this store, we aim to enable
discovery, informed choices, and deeper engagement, while also building strong
connections with Pune’s vibrant sports and fitness community through local
collaborations and grassroots initiatives. Moreover, Pune has emerged as a
larger market than Mumbai for sports retail presenting a significant growth
opportunity for us.”

As
India’s fitness ecosystem continues to expand—from organised gyms and home
fitness to community sports and lifestyle-driven wellness—retail is expected to
play a critical role in shaping access, aspiration, and participation. With its
Pune flagship launch, Total Sports &amp; Fitness is looking to strengthen its
footprint in high-growth urban markets while contributing to the broader
evolution of India’s sports and fitness culture.

<title>From Early Criticism to Quiet Resilience: Suzzane’s Evolving Journey in Splitsvilla 16</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-early-criticism-to-quiet-resilience-suzzanes-evolving-journey-in-splitsvilla-16</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-early-criticism-to-quiet-resilience-suzzanes-evolving-journey-in-splitsvilla-16</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai: Reality television rarely
offers contestants the space to grow without scrutiny, and in MTV Splitsvilla
Season 16, Suzzane’s journey reflects exactly that tension between perception
and persistence.

 

Entering the show as one of the youngest contestants this
season, Suzzane initially found herself at the receiving end of criticism—both
within the villa and from sections of the audience. Early impressions painted
her as inexperienced, and her reserved demeanor was often misread as
indecisiveness in a format that rewards immediate impact.

However, as the episodes progressed, a different narrative began
to take shape.

 

Within the high-pressure environment of Splitsvilla, where
confrontations and alliances often define screen time, Suzzane was seen
navigating moments of isolation and, at times, being targeted in group dynamics
that bordered on exclusion. Despite this, she maintained a notable composure,
choosing restraint over reaction—an approach that set her apart in a space
driven by heightened emotions.

Rather than engaging in constant conflict, Suzzane appeared to
focus on understanding the dynamics of the game. Her strategy evolved
gradually, marked by selective participation in alliances and a clearer sense
of positioning as the competition advanced.

 

What makes her journey compelling is not dramatic dominance, but
quiet endurance. In a show where louder personalities often take center stage,
Suzzane’s measured responses and emotional control have started to reshape
audience perception. Conversations around her on social media increasingly
reflect a shift—from early criticism to acknowledgment of her resilience.

 

Her trajectory also highlights a broader aspect of reality
television: the tendency to form quick judgments, especially about younger
contestants. Suzzane’s experience underscores how narratives can change when
contestants are given time to adapt and assert themselves on their own terms.

As Splitsvilla 16 moves forward, Suzzane’s journey stands as a
reminder that not all strong gameplay is loud. Sometimes, it is the ability to
stay composed under pressure, absorb setbacks, and quietly recalibrate that
leaves a lasting impact.

 

In a format built on instant reactions, Suzzane’s  slow-burn evolution may well be her biggest
strength.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
May 02, 2026: Under the visionary leadership of Sukhraj
Nahar, President of CREDAI-MCHI, the association is
set to launch a first-of-its-kind initiative — Nahar Group presents the
CREDAI-MCHI First-Ever Property Exhibition exclusively for Channel Partners.

The
event will be held on Wednesday, 6th May 2026 at the iconic Jio World
Convention Centre, with expo timings from 10:30 AM to 8:00 PM.

This
pioneering platform has been conceptualized with a clear objective — to
strengthen the connection between developers and channel partners, who are the
true ambassadors of the real estate industry. Recognizing the growing
importance of channel partners in today’s dynamic market, CREDAI-MCHI aims to
create a focused, high-impact ecosystem that drives real business outcomes.

Adding
perspective on the initiative, Sukhraj Nahar, President, CREDAI-MCHI, said,
“This initiative is a significant step towards recognizing and empowering
channel partners, who play a pivotal role in the real estate ecosystem. By
creating a dedicated platform exclusively for them, we aim to facilitate direct
engagement with developers, accelerate deal closures, and unlock greater
business opportunities. This expo reflects our commitment to building a more
collaborative, efficient, and growth-oriented industry.”

Rushi
Mehta, Secretary, CREDAI-MCHI, added, “The concept of a channel
partner-exclusive expo is both timely and strategic. It allows us to streamline
interactions, improve conversion efficiency, and create a focused environment
where genuine business can take place. We believe this platform will not only
benefit channel partners but also help developers reach the right audience more
effectively.”

Unlike
traditional exhibitions, this expo is exclusively curated for channel partners,
ensuring meaningful interactions, faster decision-making, and higher conversion
opportunities. The event is expected to witness 5,000+ channel partners, along
with leading developers from across Mumbai and MMR, making it one of the most
powerful sales-driven platforms in the industry.

The
initiative is being held in association with National Association of Realtors
India and is supported by leading realtor and channel partners associations
across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, reflecting strong industry-wide
alignment towards empowering the channel partner ecosystem.

Leading
Real estate brands participating in the expo include Nahar Group, Ajmera Realty
&amp; Infra, Rustomjee, GVP Realty, Supreme Universal, Sattva Group, Embassy
Developments Ltd., House of Hiranandani, Veena Group, Neelyog Group, Adani
Realty, Hubtown, Summit Woods, S Raheja Realty, Dosti Group, Marathon Realty, K
Raheja Corp, TGL, Viceroy Properties, Mehta Group, ID group, Romell Group, D
Kappor and many  more prominent
developers.

The
core purpose of the expo is to create strong business opportunities for channel
partners. They will get direct access to new project launches, high brokerage
opportunities, ready-to-close inventory, and exclusive deals at one place.
Participating developers are offering special benefits such as higher
brokerage, incentive slabs, faster payouts, and limited-period schemes,
enabling channel partners to close deals faster and grow their business.

To
avail these exclusive opportunities, channel partners are encouraged to visit
the expo. Entry to the expo is free for them; however, registration is
mandatory at www.mchichannelpartners.com.

This
initiative reinforces CREDAI-MCHI’s role as a catalyst between developers and
channel partners, ensuring that both sides benefit through structured
engagement and stronger collaboration.

In
the lead-up to the event, a Leadership Meet is scheduled with presidents and
secretaries of various channel partners associations along with CREDAI-MCHI
leadership. The meeting aims to further strengthen this initiative and explore
long-term collaboration opportunities to make such platforms even more
impactful in the future.

With
this landmark event, CREDAI-MCHI is setting a new benchmark in the real estate
industry by giving channel partners the recognition, access, and business
opportunities they truly deserve.

<description><![CDATA[  

Sydney, Australia: The Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) Australia continues
to expand its footprint and community impact under the leadership of its
President, Mr. Manoj Sheoran, who is driving a focused vision of unity,
service, and structured growth for the Indian diaspora across the country.

Over recent months, IOC Australia has emerged as a
proactive platform working closely with Indian-origin communities, students,
and professionals. Through consistent outreach and grassroots engagement, the
organization has been building strong connections and addressing the evolving
needs of the diaspora.

Mr. Manoj Sheoran’s leadership has been marked by a
clear emphasis on expansion and inclusivity. New chapters are being formed
across different regions of Australia, enabling wider participation and
stronger coordination at the community level.

As part of strengthening the youth wing, Mr. Manoj
Sheoran has appointed Mr. Gurjinder Singh Gavy as Indian Overseas Youth
Congress Australia Chairman.

Beyond structural growth, IOC Australia has been
actively involved in meaningful initiatives that go beyond traditional
engagement. These include:

students and new migrants in settling into Australian society

●      Promoting cultural identity
while encouraging integration within the broader community

●      Organizing community events
that foster unity and collaboration

empowered Indian community in Australia. We are focused on building long-term
structures that will continue to serve people and bring positive change.”

<title>Envu India Supports National Conclave Uniting India&amp;apos;s Public Health Leadership to  Advance Urban Vector&#45;Borne Disease Control</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/envu-india-supports-national-conclave-uniting-indias-public-health-leadership-to-advance-urban-vector-borne-disease-control</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/envu-india-supports-national-conclave-uniting-indias-public-health-leadership-to-advance-urban-vector-borne-disease-control</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Two-day scientific conclave,
organised by the Indian Society for Malaria and Other Communicable
Diseases  (ISMOCD) in collaboration with
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), examines advances in urban pest  management and charts a science-led path
forward for India&#039;s cities. 

01st May 2026 | Ahmedabad: A national technical conclave on advances in urban pest
management and vector control  concluded
in Ahmedabad on 28 April 2026, bringing together senior public health leaders,
government officials, armed  forces
medical specialists, and scientific institutions for two days of focused
scientific exchange. The conclave addressed 
the growing burden of dengue, malaria, and chikungunya in India&#039;s
rapidly expanding cities, and the need for systematic,  evidence-based, integrated strategies to
manage them effectively. 

Organised by the Indian
Society for Malaria and Other Communicable Diseases (ISMOCD) in
collaboration with  Ahmedabad
Municipal Corporation (AMC) and supported by Envu India, the
conclave drew participants from national 
and state public health programmes, the Armed Forces Medical College
(AFMC), Pune, academic institutions, and 
international scientific contributors. Sessions covered the epidemiology
of dengue, malaria, and chikungunya in 
Ahmedabad&#039;s urban setting; advances in surveillance, including
ovitrap-based monitoring with AI-assisted analysis; the  WHO-aligned Integrated Vector Management
framework; the Urban Malaria Scheme and National Urban Health Mission;  preparedness for vector-borne disease control
during mass-gathering events; and some innovations in public health  insecticides. Envu contributed an international
perspective on integrated urban vector management, drawing on  experience from the iDEM (Integrated Dengue
Epidemiology and Management) programme in Malaysia. 

Envu India&#039;s support for this
conclave is grounded in a conviction the company holds about the significant
opportunity to  advance mosquito control
in Indian cities. Research by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE),
India, found that  the standard
municipal thermal fogging mixture is 95 per cent diesel and 5 per cent
insecticide, with Delhi alone  estimated
to consume 4.5 lakh litres of diesel in a single fogging season, comparable to
the daily fuel use of over 2,000  cars.
The WHO&#039;s guidance on Integrated Vector Management recommends going
further: addressing larvae and  interrupting
the breeding cycle for sustained, measurable impact, rather than relying on
adult mosquito knockdown  alone. Envu
believes Indian cities are ready for that more complete approach, and offers
water-based, WHO Pre-Qualified  vector
control formulation combined with safer larvicidal solutions that make it
possible. Envu welcomes engagement  from
public health authorities, urban local bodies, and state vector control
programmes on what that transition could 
mean in practice for their city or district.  

&quot;Vector-borne diseases,
caused by viruses, bacteria, and parasites, account for over 17% of infectious
diseases globally,  all transmitted
through vectors. India has made remarkable progress in controlling these diseases.
Malaria deaths have  declined from eight
lakh annually at independence to just 83 in 2023. Kala-azar cases dropped from
9,241 in 2014 to  449 in 2024, nearing
elimination, while over 100 districts have eliminated lymphatic filariasis as a
public health  problem. Dengue mortality
has also reduced significantly. These achievements reflect India&#039;s sustained
commitment to  disease control,&quot;
said Padma Shri Prof. Dr. Aditya Prasad Dash, former Vice Chancellor,
Central University of Tamil  Nadu, and
former WHO Adviser. 

He added, &quot;India aims to
eliminate malaria, lymphatic filariasis, and kala-azar by 2030. Achieving this,
especially in  urban areas, requires
stronger collaboration among scientific institutions, government bodies, and
municipal agencies.  Growing partnerships
between academia, industry, and research organisations in innovation,
technology transfer, and  policy are key
to this effort. Strengthening such collaborations will be critical for
achieving India&#039;s Sustainable 
Development Goals.&quot; 

Dr. Bhavin Solanki, Medical
Officer of Health, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, said, &quot;Ahmedabad Municipal 
Corporation has always believed that public health outcomes improve when
institutions invest in the right science, the 
right partnerships, and the right people. Our vector control teams are
trained, equipped, and committed to adopting 
approaches that deliver real, measurable results for the communities we
serve. The scientific inputs and global 

experience
that Envu brought to this conclave added meaningful depth to the discussions
and helped broaden our  perspective on
integrated vector management. Conclaves like this one, which bring together
national scientific  expertise,
government experience, and industry knowledge, considerably strengthen that
work. We look forward to  continuing to
build on the collaborations that have emerged from this platform.&quot;  

M. Arun
Kumar, Managing Director, Envu India, said, &quot;India&#039;s cities are at the centre of the vector-borne
disease risks,  and this conclave brought
the right people into this conversation at exactly the right time. As a
company, our  commitment goes beyond
supporting events like this. We believe the way mosquito control is practised
in Indian cities  today has room to
advance, and Envu is here for the long term, alongside India&#039;s public health
institutions, to help make  that
happen.&quot; ]]></description>

<title>Pune Leads the Way with Launch of City Chapter for Mental Health Action</title>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/pune-leads-the-way-with-launch-of-city-chapter-for-mental-health-action</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
May 01, 2026 : The first meeting to
launch the Pune City Chapter of the Policymakers’ Forum on Mental Health was
convened at the ILS Conference Room, ILS Law College, bringing together leaders
from government, public health, academia, and civil society. Organised by the Centre
for Mental Health Law &amp; Policy (CMHLP) and ETI Services, the convening
marked a key step toward building a city-led model for mental health action.

The
session was led under the guidance of Smt. Vandana Chavan, former Member of
Parliament and former Mayor of Pune. She welcomed the Honourable leadership and
dignitaries of the Pune Municipal Corporation, elected representatives, and
stakeholders, while acknowledging Dr. Mohan Agashe for his contributions in the
mental health space as a former advisor to the Government of Maharashtra.

The
meeting was also attended by Shri Naval Kishore, (Municipal Commissioner, PMC),
Shri Shrinath Bhimale (Honourable Chairman, Standing Committee, PMC), Shri
Sanjiv Wavare, Assistant Medical Officer of Health, Pune Municipal Corporation,
whose leadership was central to bringing the conversation together, Dr. Mohan
Agashe (Former Advisor, Govt. of Maharashtra on Mental Health Education and
Service) along with many representatives from civil society and technical
experts.  The session included a
presentation by Mr. Arjun Kapoor (CMHLP) and Dr. Sukriti Chauhan (ETI
Services), outlining the data landscape, policy frameworks, and actionable
pathways for Pune.

Shri
Naval Kishore, Municipal Commissioner, Pune Municipal Corporation, in his
address said:

“The
social environment we build shapes how people think and respond. Mental health
is not limited to hospitals; we must strengthen ecosystems both within and
beyond them. This is an area where the PMC is committed to act.”

Shri
Shrinath Bhimale, Chairman, Standing Committee, Pune Municipal Corporation
added:

“We
are working on initiatives such as ‘Pink Rooms’ for adolescent girls and
improving the quality of government hospitals. We are committed to supporting
efforts that advance suicide prevention and mental wellbeing in the city.”

Smt.
Vandana Chavan addressing the gathering threw light on how;

“Pune,
as a city of young people and institutions, is uniquely positioned to lead this
effort. While India has made progress, the challenge before us is to translate
policy into coordinated, on-ground action. This meeting aims to bring the power
of local leadership together to shape practical solutions to the issue at hand
today,” she said.

Speaking
at the event, Dr. Mohan Agashe, Former Advisor noted:

“What
institutions need is strong motivation and sustained effort. Mental health
policy must remain independent of political cycles. Education and health
require long-term commitment, and every individual has a right to access care.”

Dr.
Sukriti Chauhan, CEO, ETI Services, emphasised:

“We
are no longer dealing with isolated incidents, this is a systemic crisis
unfolding across our schools, institutions and communities. If we don’t embed
mental health into everyday governance now, we risk failing an entire
generation asking to be heard and supported.”

Arjun
Kapoor, Co-Director and Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Mental Health Law
&amp; Policy, Indian Law Society mentioned

“Youth
mental health and suicide prevention in schools, colleges, workplaces and the
broader community requires cross-sectoral interventions and action. With its
vibrant youth population, Pune has become an economic and educational hub. In
collaboration with city leadership and wider civil society, the city stands to
become national model of effectively embedding mental health in all aspects of
social, health and economic development.”

The
discussion focused on feasible, city-level interventions, including awareness
campaigns, strengthened counselling systems, school-based programmes, and
cross-sector partnerships. The Pune Chapter aims to serve as a pilot for a
scalable model, demonstrating how municipal leadership can drive integrated
mental health action across systems. ]]></description>

<title>With Prada, LIDCOM Puts Kolhapuri inspired Indian Craft on Global Fashion Luxury Map</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/with-prada-lidcom-puts-kolhapuri-inspired-indian-craft-on-global-fashion-luxury-map</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/with-prada-lidcom-puts-kolhapuri-inspired-indian-craft-on-global-fashion-luxury-map</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Global luxury house Prada, on Monday
launched its Limited Edition Collection of Sandals inspired by the Indian
Kolhapuri Chappals, across 40 select Prada stores worldwide and on its
e-commerce platform as a part of it’s ‘PRADA Made in India x Inspired by Kolhapuri
Chappals’ project. Manufactured in India by artisans from Maharashtra and
Karnataka — the heartland of traditional Kolhapuri handcraft — the launch marks
more than a commercial milestone.

“It is a moment of global
recognition for a centuries-old Indian craft, and for the institution that has
worked for decades to protect, promote and dignify it” said Smt. Prerna
Deshbhratar, IAS, Managing Director, of ‘Sant Rohidas Leather Industries and
Charmakar Development Corporation’ — better known as LIDCOM — which was
established on 1 May 1974 under the Social Justice Department of Maharashtra,
with mandate to protect the dignity and livelihood of Maharashtra’s leather
artisan communities.

One of LIDCOM’s best product, the
Kolhapuri chappal is a living tradition — carried, refined and passed down by
generations of artisans. Notably, it has received GI tagging in 2009 — a
distinction that underscores the scale of LIDCOM’s achievement.

Maharashtra’s Chief Minister Shri.
Devendra Fadnavis described the launch as a moment of national pride, – “This
global launch Inspired by the Indian Kolhapuri Chappals”is a proud moment for
Maharashtra and for India. Born in the hands of Maharashtra’s leather artisan
community and protected by LIDCOM, the Kolhapuri chappal is now a global luxury
fashion product showcased in 40 Prada stores worldwide. This is Maharashtra
showing the world what ‘Made in India’ truly means.”

The collaboration extends well
beyond the limited-edition collection. As part of the agreement, Prada will
fully fund a three-year structured training programme at the National Institute
of Fashion Technology (NIFT) and the Karnataka Institute of Leather and Fashion
Technology (KILT) — building the design and technical skills of artisans whose
craft has already proven itself on the world stage. The finest among them will
go further: selected for advanced training at Prada&#039;s own Academy in Italy.

As rightly said by Shri. Sanjay
Shirsat, Minister of Social Justice and Special Assistance, Maharashtra –
“Today, the hard work of our artisans and their traditional craft has received
real respect. Kolhapuri chappals are not just footwear — they are the pride of
our land. Social justice means giving people strength to stand on their own and
honouring their labour”. In his message to the artisans, he added: “This honour
— this pride — comes from your hard work, your sweat, and your tradition. We
are truly happy that this craft has now reached the world stage. The respect
for our people has gone across the world.”

Those familiar with the
collaboration say the credit for the partnership belongs firmly to LIDCOM — the
institutional backbone that identified the opportunity, brokered the
conversation, and structured every clause to keep artisan welfare at its core.
“There was meticulous planning behind this collaboration. Things were not easy,
given the involvement of a global brand like Prada, international laws, and the
wider canvas of our global relations. All of this had to be factored into the
negotiations — while always keeping in mind the rightful ownership of the
intellectual property of generations of our artisans.”— says Dr. Harshadeep
Kamble, IAS, Principal Secretary, Ministry of Social Justice and Special
Assistance

The partnership between Prada and
LIDCOM crystallised in the months following an online backlash over the
Kolhapuri-inspired leather sandals shown at Prada’s Spring 2026 menswear
presentation. The collection featured sandals bearing an unmistakable
resemblance to the GI-tagged Kolhapuri chappal. Prada issued a statement. Then
it did something more meaningful: it sent a delegation to Kolhapur, to LIDCOM&#039;s
facility, to the hands that had been making this craft long before any runway
discovered it.

After several rounds of detailed
discussions led by Smt. Deshbhratar, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed
between Prada and LIDCOM at the Consulate General of Italy in Mumbai. She
subsequently travelled to Italy for further negotiations, paving the way for
the collaboration in its current form. As she

puts it “This collaboration will
enable the sustainable global positioning of our traditional craftsmanship,
fostering cross-cultural design dialogue and long-term value for artisans.”The
operative phrase is long-term value for artisans — a commitment LIDCOM received
from Prada as a non-negotiable condition of the partnership.

For India’s craft sector, the LIDCOM
model offers a powerful lesson: protect the craft, build institutional
credibility, negotiate from strength, and keep artisan welfare non-negotiable.
This is what makes the partnership meaningful. ]]></description>

entrepreneurship. It explores the loneliness, discipline, responsibility, fear,
and quiet strength required to build something meaningful from the ground up.

struggles entrepreneurs often face while choosing a difficult path and staying

calm endurance, restraint, and integrity—making it a powerful read for
entrepreneurs and anyone creating their own path in life.

10. When Gods Created
Us by Manya Jha

When Gods Created Us
is a mythological-philosophical work that explores what was originally placed
within human beings, what civilization gradually taught them to forget, and why
that forgetting matters today. Through the recurring presence of a cosmic
council, the book traces the evolution of human consciousness—awareness,
instinct, emotion, curiosity, compassion, imagination, courage, and
purpose—before logic, systems, and external structures began to dominate human
identity. It does not present myth as fantasy or technology as an enemy;
instead, it uses both to ask a deeper question: what truly makes us human in an
age where artificial intelligence can calculate, predict, and analyze? The book
argues that humanity was never designed merely to survive, perform, compete, or
outthink its own inventions, but to awaken to the full depth of the mind it
carries. Serious, reflective, and timely, When Gods Created Us invites
readers to rediscover the wisdom, compassion, meaning, and inner architecture
that remain at the heart of being human.

All the books featured

<title>The Keshav Konnect Season 2: Inside the lives of India’s Next&#45;Gen Family Business Leaders</title>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-keshav-konnect-season-2-inside-the-lives-of-indias-next-gen-family-business-leaders</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ National, 1st May 2026 : Earning
the trust of experienced hands is a struggle every next-generation leader  in a family business knows too well. The
Keshav Konnect Season 2, going on air from 1st May 2026, sets  out to unravel exactly this. Keshav
Maheshwari, a second-generation entrepreneur and scion of ALLEN  Career Institute - one of India’s most
respected career coaching institutions - engages with next generation leaders
as they share their journeys and boardroom insights.

Unlike conventional business interviews, The
Keshav Konnect Season 2 moves away from metrics and  milestones to delve into the lives of
next-generation leaders. It spotlights the years spent proving  themselves before being recognised, the
weight of legacy, and how they carved unique spaces for  themselves. Each episode is an unfiltered
conversation, offering a window into the distinctive mindset of  India’s young business scions.

Speaking about the series, Keshav
Maheshwari, host and the mind behind The Keshav Konnect, said: “There are
many conversations around first-time entrepreneurs - how they build, the
challenges they face,  and how they
navigate different situations. However, despite the significant contribution of
family  businesses to India’s GDP,
conversations around next-generation leaders and how they chart their  journeys remain few and far between. Through
this series, I want to bring a first-hand account from these  leaders on what it truly means to lead a
family business and transform it from the inside. I am confident  the series will add value not just to those
within family businesses, but also to first-time entrepreneurs,  as these are deeply personal journeys -
highlighting real challenges, learnings, and triumphs.”

About Keshav Maheshwari:

Keshav Maheshwari is the Managing Director of
ALLEN Career Institute Overseas and a second-generation  entrepreneur from the family behind one of
India’s most respected education brands. With experience  across startups, multinationals, and now
leading international operations, he brings a blend of inherited  wisdom and fresh thinking. His leadership is
defined by purpose, agility, and empathy - focused on making  legacy institutions future-ready while
preserving their core values. Keshav represents the voice of a new generation
leader redefining what it means to build on inheritance. ]]></description>

“My
travels have inspired me. Whether it’s singing or acting, I’ve soaked in so
much from places I’ve visited. I believe travel and food and joy must be
shared. And to share my travel stories with millions of radio listeners on “Get

Ramesh
Menon, CEO, Fever Network said: 

“The
continued love that Get Some Sun receives from listeners across the country is
a testament to the enduring appeal of travel storytelling on radio. What makes
this property truly special is how it goes beyond destinations to create a

<title>Meet the 17&#45;Year&#45;Old Behind a USD 2.8 Million Deal at AVP Industries Private Limited &#45; Saachi Pasari, she is now set to launch her own Fashion Brand Hangover</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/meet-the-17-year-old-behind-a-usd-28-million-deal-at-avp-industries-private-limited-saachi-pasari-she-is-now-set-to-launch-her-own-fashion-brand-hangover</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/meet-the-17-year-old-behind-a-usd-28-million-deal-at-avp-industries-private-limited-saachi-pasari-she-is-now-set-to-launch-her-own-fashion-brand-hangover</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
India: In a fashion industry where legacy is often
inherited but influence is earned over time, 17-year-old Saachi Pasari is fast
emerging as a force who embodies both. With a sharp instinct for design, a
global cultural lens, and an ability to translate observation into impact, she
represents a new generation that is not waiting in the wings but actively
reshaping the narrative.

Raised
within the ecosystem of AVP Industries Private Limited, Saachi’s understanding
of business has been deeply immersive rather than traditionally academic. Her
early exposure to international environments from Hill Spring International
School in Mumbai to Fettes College in Edinburgh, shaped a worldview rooted in
cultural fluidity, independence, and creative curiosity. Now studying at DSB
International School, she continues to bridge formal education with hands-on
industry experience.

Inside
AVP Industries, Saachi has moved beyond observation to contribution. Beginning
with the men’s apparel division, she has been involved in design selection and
visual direction, bringing a distinct perspective that blends global influences
with a sharp understanding of the Indian consumer. Her approach reflects an
intuitive grasp of both aesthetics and market demand, an ability that is
increasingly rare, and even more so at her age. That instinct has already
translated into tangible business outcomes. In a significant milestone, Saachi
played a key role in supporting a $2.8 million international deal alongside her
father, Abhishek Vinod Pasari, Founder and Director of AVP Industries,
expanding the company’s presence across South American markets including Panama
and Mexico. The moment marks not just early exposure to global business, but
meaningful participation in it.

About
AVP Industries Private Limited

Operating
at the intersection of fashion, manufacturing, and global distribution, AVP
Industries Pvt. Ltd. has steadily positioned itself as a trusted partner for
both established and emerging brands. Under the leadership of Abhishek Vinod
Pasari, the company has built a reputation for delivering design-led,
high-quality apparel at scale, serving both domestic and international markets.
With a strong infrastructure and a deep understanding of evolving consumer
preferences, AVP Industries seamlessly integrates global trends with local
sensibilities. Its capabilities span private labels, brand collaborations, and
product innovation, while supporting an ecosystem that empowers over 3,500
livelihoods across India. As it expands its global footprint, the company
continues to focus on craftsmanship, efficiency, and long-term value creation.

Now,
Saachi Pasari is stepping into a space of her own. She is currently developing
Hangover, an independent fashion venture that aims to carve a niche in
elevated, high-quality party wear, an underserved segment in the Indian market.
Conceived as a reflection of her personal aesthetic and cultural perspective,
the brand signals a shift from participation to authorship. At 17, Saachi
Pasari is not simply part of the next generation of fashion, she is part of the
reason it is evolving. Her journey underscores a larger industry movement: one
where youth is no longer synonymous with potential alone, but with presence,
perspective, and power.

<description><![CDATA[ A
joint initiative to train underprivileged youth, as certified Solar PV
Installers in Najafgarh, Delhi

New
Delhi, India, April 30, 2026  : Sungrow, the global leading PV inverter and
energy storage system provider, has collaborated with the Centre for CSR &amp;
Sustainability Excellence (CCSE), the social arm of Fiinovation, to launch a
Solar PV Installer Training Programme in Najafgarh, New Delhi. This initiative,
under Sungrow’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mandate, aims to empower
underprivileged youth with technical skills and create green employment
opportunities in India’s growing solar sector.

The
partnership signing ceremony was officially held at the Fiinovation’s Delhi
office. Representatives in attendance included Mr. Varun Haritash from Sungrow,
Mr. Debopam Mukherjee and Mr. Diwan Faiz from CCSE, as well as Father George
and Mr. Pardeep Jindal from Don Bosco Tech Society.

Targeting
youth aged 18 to 30 from economically weaker sections – including women and
those without formal education – the programme will deliver 360 hours of
structured training per batch (30 participants) in Najafgarh, with outreach
extending to peri-urban and rural areas of South-West Delhi. The curriculum
covers solar PV installation, system operations, and maintenance, aligned with
national skill standards and complemented by practical field exposure,
certification, and placement support. A core target is to achieve at least 70%
employment or self-employment for participants within 3–6 months of course
completion.

As
part of its CSR commitment, the initiative focuses on expanding access to
industry-relevant vocational training, enabling inclusive livelihood
opportunities, and building a skilled workforce to support India’s transition
to clean energy. By prioritizing underserved communities, the programme aims to
bridge opportunity gaps and create pathways for sustainable income and
long-term economic mobility.

 “At Sungrow, we believe that the shift to
clean energy must also create real opportunities for  communities. Varun Haritash, Senior
Manager-Marketing at Sungrowskilled workforce that can meaningfully contribute
to India’s solar sector while improving livelihoods for those who need it
most.”

—
Mr. Varun Haritash, Senior Manager-Marketing at Sungrow India

With
a strong track record in CSR implementation spanning livelihood, health,
education, and environmental sustainability, CCSE contributes a structured,
outcome-driven methodology to the initiative. It is responsible for monitoring,
tracking progress and delivering measurable results across the programme cycle.

“Skill
development in the clean energy sector is no longer an aspiration — it is a
present-day need. Through this collaboration, we are creating meaningful
opportunities for young people who have historically been outside the formal
economy. Our focus is on outcomes that extend well beyond the duration of the
programme.”

— Debopam Mukherjee,
CCSE – Centre for CSR &amp; Sustainability Excellence

On
the ground, the programme is being implemented in partnership with Don Bosco
Tech Society, a nationally recognized organization with extensive experience in
vocational training and youth skilling initiatives across India. With a strong
track record in delivering industry-aligned training programmes and
facilitating employment linkages, Don Bosco Tech Society will support
beneficiary mobilization, community outreach, and local implementation of the
project.

“Quality
vocational training must be both accessible and aligned with industry demand.
Through this initiative, we aim to equip young people with practical skills and
connect them to real employment opportunities in the growing solar sector.”

—
Father George, Executive Director, Don Bosco Tech Society

India’s
solar energy sector has expanded considerably over the past decade, driven by
national policy targets and growing private investment. Yet the availability of
trained technicians at the grassroots level continues to lag behind industry
demand. This initiative directly addresses that gap by building a pool of
certified solar installers from communities that are geographically close to
the work but have had limited access to formal training.

By
combining the industry expertise of Sungrow, the implementation capabilities of
CCSE, and the grassroots reach of Don Bosco Tech Society, the initiative
creates a scalable model for skill-based livelihood generation in India’s clean
energy sector. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai : People have fallen victim to
stress and are unable to live life to the fullest. Amidst these circumstances,
Director Adhish Rana makes a remarkable film, &quot;Jeena Dil Se&quot;. The
film acts like a true friend—one who makes you laugh when you are stressed and
reminds you that life isn&#039;t quite as serious as we often perceive it to be.
This sentiment is perfectly encapsulated in the film&#039;s tagline: “Zindagi chhoti
hai… tension badi kyun?” or the line
“Serious hone ka nahi… haske jeene ka!

 

&quot;Jeena Dil Se&quot; is scheduled to be released in theaters
on May 29th, 2026. The film&#039;s teaser has received an excellent response, and
the movie&#039;s song, &quot;Madhubala,&quot; is becoming immensely popular. Lakhs
of people are watching Kriti Verma&#039;s spectacular dance performance in this item
number. The song has been sung by Soumee Sailesh. You can watch this fantastic
song by clicking on the link provided below.

The film beautifully weaves together humor, emotion, and
relatable life experiences—making it particularly relevant to today&#039;s youth. It
encourages audiences to pause, laugh at life&#039;s ups and downs, and savor the
journey itself rather than focusing solely on the destination.

While romantic films typically feature a higher number of songs,
&quot;Jeena Dil Se&quot; stands apart from conventional comedies by also
serving as a spectacular musical film; it features six magnificent tracks that
add vibrant color and depth to the narrative. Featuring a cast of over 15
talented actors, the film is packed with powerful performances, impeccable
comic timing, and memorable dialogues.The Title song of the movie, sung by the
maestro Javed Ali &amp; beautifully penned by the legendary Amardeep Rana truly
describes and fully justifies the storyline.

 

The film is directed by Adhish Rana, a filmmaker whose journey
began in childhood with frequent visits to the theater and a deep-seated love
for Bollywood classics. For him, &quot;Jeena Dil Se&quot; is not merely a film;
it is a passion project born from years of cinematic devotion. From renting
DVDs to studying global storytelling styles, the director brings a unique
perspective that shines through in every single frame of this film. Filmmaker
Adhish Rana states, &quot;‘Jeena Dil Se’ is not merely a film; it is an
emotion! My objective is to convey a message to the audience regarding the
importance of friendship and the pursuit of happiness. This film is very close
to my heart because it beautifully blends two genres—comedy and romance. Based
on a true story set in Haryana, North India, the film aims to resonate with
today&#039;s youth. Its excellent dialogues, musical album, and social message set
it apart from the rest.&quot;

 

Shot across the beautiful and culturally rich landscapes of
Haryana, the film&#039;s most memorable moment was filming at the renowned Brahma
Sarovar Aarti in Kurukshetra. With its exceptional script, impeccable comic
timing, and a heartwarming storyline, &quot;Jeena Dil Se&quot; is poised to
carve a special place for itself in the hearts of the audience.

 

The film&#039;s music has been composed by Rahul Jain, Prashant
Ingole, and Vishal-Akash (Dhaneliya Brothers), while the beautiful songs have
been voiced by Shreya Ghoshal, Armaan Malik, Javed Ali, Asees Kaur, and Saumee
Shailesh. The lyrics have been penned by Amardeep, Prashant Ingole, Arafat
Mahmood, and Kunaal Verma.

 

The film&#039;s notable cast members include Lakshya Handa, Abhishek
Singh, Yash Purohit, Tejender Singh, Kunal Chhabra, Ruma Sharma, Shradhha
Joshi, Deeksha Sooryavanshi, Kiara Diwan, Shivani Wazir, Kanchan Singh, Mehak
Jain, Muskan Varshney, Priyanka Modgill, Kushagra Saxena, and Umakant
Chaudhary. Kriti Verma makes a special appearance in an item song. The film is

Rana, and written by Sanjay Prajapati.

<title>From Clean Energy to Stronger Livelihoods: Sachin Tendulkar and Schneider Electric India Transform Guhir Village through Spreading Happiness InDiya Foundation</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-clean-energy-to-stronger-livelihoods-sachin-tendulkar-and-schneider-electric-india-transform-guhir-village-through-spreading-happiness-indiya-foundation</link>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Community-led clean energy model enables
sustainable livelihoods, women-led enterprises, and climate resilience in rural
Maharashtra

●       
The partnership delivers reliable solar power,
boosts agricultural productivity, and empowers women and communities through an
integrated Climate Smart Village model

Palghar,
Maharashtra, 30 April 2026 : Spreading Happiness InDiya Foundation
(SHIF), a non-profit collaboration between Sachin Tendulkar, Sachin Tendulkar
Foundation (STF)and Schneider Electric India, has transformed Guhir village in
Maharashtra into a Climate Smart Village to drive clean energy access and
sustainable livelihoods in rural India. The initiative focuses on enabling
reliable energy access and strengthening rural livelihoods through an
integrated, community-led model. 

In
an event today, Sachin Tendulkar was joined by Sara Tendulkar, and Saaniya
Tendulkar, where they interacted with the beneficiaries, met women farmers and
took stock of the diverse agricultural, craft, as well as horticulture products
showcased by the village self-help groups.

At
its core is a 40-kW solar array integrated with Schneider Electric
IoT-enabled smart power management system that optimises energy use based
on demand. The system powers irrigation pumps and agro-processing units,
including paddy threshers, rice mill machines and spice processing units, which
are operated through a women-led Farmer Producer Organization (FPO) managing
local produce and strengthening the village’s value chain. It also supports
113 households, around 25 streetlights, and essential services, while
electrifying the local Anganwadi, benefiting over 30 children.

Talking
about the initiative, Mr. Sachin Tendulkar said, “Real change is
often simple and grounded, and in Guhir we have seen a glimpse of that. When
children, women, and youth take the lead, development becomes sustainable and
meaningful. I hope this inspires many more villages to follow. I congratulate
everyone involved in this initiative, and I am glad that SHIF was able to bring
together like-minded teams to achieve this.”

On
stage, Sachin was impressed by the brilliant oratory of the school children
from the village. He added that these children will go on to put the name of
their region on to the global stage. Noting that the village also houses a
smart school under the SHIF, in cricketing terms, he wants to see the scorecard
of such an integrated sustainable village model multiply.

Speaking
on the occasion, Mr. Deepak Sharma, Zone President – Greater India and MD
&amp; CEO, Schneider Electric India, said, &quot;Clean Energy and
Sustainable Livelihoods is the foundation on which communities build better
lives. Guhir is a powerful demonstration of what becomes possible when
technology, purpose, and partnership come together. Through SHIF, we are
enabling farmers to grow more, empowering women to lead enterprises, and giving
young people a reason to build their futures right where they belong.”

Reliable
and sustainable energy access is critical to enabling livelihoods,
strengthening rural infrastructure, and improving quality of life. However,
many rural regions continue to face challenges due to inconsistent power supply
and dependence on traditional energy sources. Climate Smart Villages aim to
address these challenges by integrating clean and advanced energy technologies
to support sustainable and inclusive development.

Implemented
in partnership with the BAIF Institute for Sustainable Livelihoods and
Development (BISLD), the initiative combines renewable energy technologies with
community-led interventions to enhance agricultural productivity, strengthen
livelihoods, and build climate resilience.

Building
on BAIF’s foundation, SHIF has adopted a holistic model focused on
socio-economic upliftment, doubling irrigated land through solar-powered pumps,
enabling solar-based agro-processing for higher farmer incomes, and ensuring
24x7 clean energy for households and street lighting. The initiative promotes
community ownership through a women-led, community-managed approach. 

The
inauguration of Guhir as a Climate Smart Village marks a defining milestone,
celebrating not just infrastructure but the power of collective purpose.
Bringing together communities, civil society, and industry, this initiative
demonstrates how clean energy can drive inclusive growth and lasting climate
resilience. With the Guhir model poised for replication across India, Schneider
Electric remains committed to enabling energy access and driving sustainable
development, contributing to the nation’s vision of a Viksit Bharat.

<title>Sajid Qureshi: The Mastermind Behind Landmark Film Deals Now Eyes ‘Varanasi’ as Indian Cinema’s Next Global Phenomenon</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/sajid-qureshi-the-mastermind-behind-landmark-film-deals-now-eyes-varanasi-as-indian-cinemas-next-global-phenomenon</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sajid-qureshi-the-mastermind-behind-landmark-film-deals-now-eyes-varanasi-as-indian-cinemas-next-global-phenomenon</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, April 2026 : Sajid Qureshi, Founder and Chairman of
Inbox Pictures, continues to cement his position as one of Indian
entertainment’s most influential deal-makers. Fresh from orchestrating a
landmark rights acquisition for the global blockbuster RRR, Qureshi is now
strategically positioning himself to play a pivotal role in S. S. Rajamouli’s
ambitious next venture, Varanasi, slated for a grand 2027 release. 

In a strong validation of his expertise, DVV Entertainment,
the producers of RRR, formally commended Sajid Qureshi for successfully closing
a major multi-rights deal with Pen Studios, led by Chairman Mr. Jayantilal
Gada. The agreement encompasses world OTT rights, world satellite rights, and
Hindi world theatrical distribution rights. This strategic move has
significantly extended RRR’s global reach and revenue potential well beyond its
theatrical run. Mr. Qureshi personally spearheaded the high-level negotiations,
ensuring seamless coordination across structuring, documentation, and final
execution. DVV Entertainment highlighted his professionalism, transparency, and
instrumental contribution to the deal’s success.

Qureshi’s achievement with RRR marks a notable shift in
industry dynamics. While earlier pan-Indian epics such as Baahubali: The Beginning
and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion were traditionally associated with established
distribution giants, he boldly facilitated RRR’s alignment with Pen Studios.
This unconventional yet highly effective partnership not only proved
commercially successful but also demonstrated his sharp understanding of
evolving market trends, his ability to identify emerging powerhouses, and his
confidence in forging strategic alliances over legacy systems.

Building on this momentum, Sajid Qureshi has delivered a
series of high-impact deals in recent years. In 2026, he successfully brokered
a groundbreaking agreement for Kantara 2 between Hombale Films and Zee
Entertainment Enterprises. This landmark collaboration marked a significant
departure from Hombale’s previous partnerships and created a powerful new
alliance, substantially expanding the franchise’s media presence and market
reach. In 2025, he further strengthened his portfolio by acquiring rights to
several major Tamil blockbusters and star-driven projects, including Lal Salaam
starring Rajinikanth, the high-budget entertainer Vettaiyan, and Aranmanai 4
directed by Sundar C. These acquisitions underscore his consistent focus on
high-value content backed by strong star power and commercial scalability.

The spotlight is now firmly on Varanasi, S. S. Rajamouli’s
forthcoming magnum opus. Starring a stellar ensemble cast featuring Mahesh
Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film is being
heralded as a ₹1000+ crore global action-adventure spectacle that masterfully
blends mythology, time-travel, and deep Indian cultural narratives.

Expressing his strong conviction in the project, Sajid
Qureshi said, “Varanasi will not just match history — it will rewrite it. I
strongly believe this masterpiece will cross all previous records of Indian
cinema, both past and future. Only S. S. Rajamouli can break his own
benchmarks.” He added, “After being part of RRR, I am extremely keen and
actively working towards associating with Varanasi. It’s a project that
represents the pinnacle of Indian storytelling, and I would be proud to
contribute to its journey.”

Widely regarded as a multifaceted force in Indian
entertainment ; filmmaker, producer, writer, composer, and strategist, Sajid
Qureshi has built Inbox Pictures into a fully integrated entertainment studio
with a diversified portfolio spanning film production and distribution, digital
and streaming content, hospitality, and large-scale events. His leadership is
defined by strategic clarity, deep market intelligence, and exceptional
execution.

From redefining rights strategies with RRR to forging
transformative partnerships with Kantara 2, Sajid Qureshi is now poised to
script yet another historic chapter with Varanasi. In an industry experiencing
rapid transformation, one thing is certain: Sajid Qureshi is not merely
participating in the future of cinema , he is actively shaping it.

<description><![CDATA[ Kerala
2026 : Kerala-based direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand Kidulan.com
has introduced a 30-minute delivery service for baby and kids’ essentials,
beginning with select pin codes in Malappuram district. The move reflects a
growing focus on convenience-driven retail, particularly for young parents
managing time-sensitive needs.

Founded
by cousins Shabas Bin Ummer and Nujaid Bin Saif, the platform has, over the
past two years, built a customer base by offering affordable and comfortable
products for children aged between 0 and 8 years. With a Kerala-first approach,
the brand has gradually expanded its reach, positioning itself as a reliable
option for early childhood essentials.

The
company was recently recognized as ‘India’s Best Kids Apparel D2C Brand of the
Year’ at the IReC Awards, a milestone that underscores its growing presence in
the segment.

The
newly launched rapid delivery model is aimed at addressing a common challenge
faced by parents — the urgent need for essentials. While the service is
currently limited to parts of Malappuram, the company plans to expand it to
other regions in phases.

In
addition, Kidulan.com has introduced a ‘try at home’ feature for its apparel
category. Initially available for dresses, the feature allows customers to
order multiple options, try them at home, and keep only what suits their
preference, returning the rest. The initiative is intended to make online
shopping more flexible and reduce hesitation around sizing and fit.

Looking
ahead, the company plans to scale both its quick delivery and trial services
across Kerala over the next two years. It is also preparing to enter offline
retail through large-format stores, signaling a shift towards an omnichannel
presence.

As
competition intensifies in the early childhood category, Kidulan.com appears to
be focusing on a combination of curated products, faster delivery, and
customer-friendly services to strengthen its position in the market.

To
know more, connect with kidulan.com for all your baby and kids’ essentials. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, 30th
April 2026 : In a decisive move to bridge academia with
real-world relevance and future skills, the Gokula Education Foundation (Medical),
which manages the Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences, Ramaiah Medical
College, and the Ramaiah Memorial Hospital has now partnered with University at
Albany, State University of New York, a premier public research university, to
launch Ramaiah Institute of Science and Management (RISM), a
deemed-to-be university in Bangalore. Envisioned as a next-generation STEM and
Management institution, RISM will deliver globally benchmarked,
industry-aligned education with a strong emphasis on research and real-world
application preparing students for a rapidly evolving global landscape. The
university will commence its first academic session in August 2026.

Building
on over six decades of excellence in education, research, and healthcare, the
Gokula Education Foundation (Medical) is extending its experience through RISM,
reimagining higher education with a global-first, industry-aligned approach.
The university will offer undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes
across the engineering, business, and science disciplines, with the initial
programmes including B. Tech in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence,
Aerospace Engineering, and Electrical Sciences, alongside BBA and MBA
programmes. Its academic model is anchored in a co-created curriculum developed
with industry and academic partners, integrating interdisciplinary learning,
industry-sponsored Centres of Excellence, and hands-on exposure through
internships, live projects, and capstone assignments to build real-world
capabilities.

At
RISM, “Relevance” will be designed into the foundation through an integrated
business and management-led approach across programs. Each course will embed
real industry exposure from the outset, ensuring learning stays applied and
outcome driven. Students will also engage with ‘Mentor Professors,’ ‘Professors
of Practice from amongst senior industry leaders embedded within each
department in formal faculty roles, a first-of-its-kind model. Complementing
this, translational research anchors the university’s academic framework,
shaping both curriculum design and tangible impact. With this integrated
approach, RISM aims to build a learning ecosystem where industry context,
academic rigor, and translational research converge seamlessly.

Speaking
on the launch, Mr. Gurucharan Gollerkeri, Executive Director and Chief Strategy
Officer, Gokula Education Foundation (Medical) said,
“We are operating in a fast-changing, deeply interconnected global environment
where the boundaries between disciplines, industries, and geographies are
rapidly dissolving. Traditional education models are no longer sufficient to
prepare students for this new reality. With RISM, we are addressing this shift
by building an ecosystem that integrates technology, business, and applied
learning in a way that mirrors how the real-world functions and is evolving.
While job market relevance is critical, our larger focus is on strengthening
core knowledge, critical thinking, and learning agility, thereby equipping
students not just for the jobs of today, but for an unpredictable future where
the ability to continuously learn and adapt will define success.”

The
School of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence will equip students to
operate at the forefront of technological change, building strong foundations
in programming, algorithms, and data, with applied exposure to machine
learning, automation, and human-robot interaction. The School of Aerospace
Engineering will offer a rigorous pathway across aeronautical and astronautical
domains, covering flight systems, spacecraft design, satellite technologies,
and space exploration. The School of Business will focus on developing
analytical, managerial, and strategic capabilities for modern enterprises, with
industry-sponsored learning centres on campus enabling early, hands-on
engagement with real-world business challenges, including managing
tech-entrepreneurship. What differentiates RISM is how these disciplines are
brought together within a globally connected, industry-embedded learning
ecosystem, anchored in its knowledge partnership with University at Albany.
Through year-abroad opportunities, immersive learning formats, and
corporate-sponsored Centres of Excellence, students move beyond siloed
education to continuously apply cross-disciplinary thinking in the real-world
contexts. 

Speaking
on the launch, University at Albany President Havidán Rodríguez said,
“The University at Albany is proud to be entering into a new knowledge
partnership with the Ramaiah Institute of Science and Management. By harnessing
our collective expertise in teaching, research, and industry-aligned approaches
to education, RISM, in collaboration with UAlbany, will advance education in
key areas like computer science, engineering, business, and nanotechnology. As
UAlbany endeavors to educate engaged global citizens, partnerships like these
are essential to our success.”

The
university’s main residential campus is being developed in Bengaluru’s
Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR) near Devanahalli, placing it in
proximity to key industrial and innovation hubs such as the Aerospace Park,
Special Economic Zone, Global Financial District, and the upcoming Foxconn
facility. This location is expected to foster strong industry-academia
collaboration, particularly across STEM disciplines. RISM will commence
academic operations from a transit campus in Yelahanka in August 2026, with the
main campus expected to be fully operational by September 2027.

All
programmes at RISM will follow a fully residential model designed to enable holistic
student development beyond the classroom, including structured sports, cultural
engagement, wellness initiatives, leadership development, and entrepreneurship
support, creating a well-rounded and immersive learning environment.

About
RISM: Ramaiah Institute of Science and Management
(RISM) is a greenfield institution focused on STEM and Management education,
conceived as a forward-looking centre for academic excellence. Established by
the Ramaiah Group, RISM is designed to serve students seeking high-quality,

engagement, RISM is committed to developing future-ready graduates equipped

<title>Trivana by GHR USM South Hyderabad’s Boutique Villa Community Earns IGBC Pre&#45;Certified Gold Rating</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/trivana-by-ghr-usm-south-hyderabads-boutique-villa-community-earns-igbc-pre-certified-gold-rating</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/trivana-by-ghr-usm-south-hyderabads-boutique-villa-community-earns-igbc-pre-certified-gold-rating</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Hyderabad, April 29, 2026 : Trivana, a boutique villa community in South Hyderabad, has now
been awarded the IGBC Pre-Certified Gold rating, setting a significant
benchmark for the city&#039;s villa projects that aim for wellness- and
sustainability-led planning, thoughtful design, and future-conscious
development. Nestled in Almasguda, Tukkuguda, Trivana offers low-density living
and seamless access to Nehru Outer Ring Road and Rajiv Gandhi International
Airport. 

The project is developed by GHR USM
Developers, which brings together GHR Infra&#039;s 35+ years of founders&#039; legacy in
Hyderabad real estate and USM MyCity, a USA-based real estate firm and a part
of the diversified USM group, headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia (with
branches in Texas and California), it brings a technology-driven approach to
real estate, with a focus on quality, efficiency, and sustainable development.

The villa project stood out for its
emphasis on renewable energy systems, ventilation, and nature integration, with
east and west-facing orientations, and layouts designed to enhance daylight
exposure. The project&#039;s amenities include a swimming pool, gymnasium,
clubhouse, skating rink, sports courts, step gardens, and dedicated children&#039;s
play areas — designed as everyday infrastructure that supports wellness.

Sustainability Framework to Create
Lasting Value for Residents and Environment

Trivana is projected to reduce water
consumption by 37% through efficient plumbing fixtures, while also harvesting
100% of rainwater and treating 100% of wastewater generated on site through dedicated
treatment systems. Nearly 30% of the site area has been reserved for native
vegetation, enhancing the ecological character of the project while promoting
responsible water use.

The project&#039;s energy strategy is equally
forward-looking. A proposed 18.9 kWp renewable energy system has been planned
to support 50% of the common area lighting load, complemented by 100% LED
lighting in common spaces and building envelope measures that help reduce heat
gain and improve thermal comfort. To foster healthier indoor environments, the
development also incorporates low-VOC paints and adhesives, natural
ventilation, daylight-conscious design, HCFC-free refrigerants, and halon-free
fire systems.

Further strengthening its environmental
credentials, Trivana integrates GreenPro-certified materials accounting for 53%
of the total material cost, alongside recycled-content materials, eco-friendly
wood, and an organic waste converter system with a capacity of 100 kg per day
to process 100% of wet waste. Together, these initiatives shape a community
that is as mindful as it is modern, and as responsible as it is refined.

Commenting on the achievement, Mr.
Karteesh Reddy M, CEO, GHR Infra, said, &quot;The IGBC Pre-Certified Gold
recognition stands as a testament to our project&#039;s thoughtful approach to green
living. It highlights Trivana&#039;s alignment with progressive building principles
across water conservation, energy efficiency, site planning, sustainable
materials, waste management, and occupant well-being. The future of housing is
certainly about excelling in design and providing quality living experience —
all done with a responsible commitment towards sustainability.&quot;

About GHR Infra:

GHR Infra is a Hyderabad-based real estate
developer built on the core philosophy of Building Responsibly. Backed by 35+
years of legacy through our founders in residential, villa, commercial, and
hospitality developments, GHR Infra has independently constructed over 41.5

customers through a growing portfolio of 2,869 apartments and 150+ villas in

Positioned as Maharashtra’s

The initiative was led

litigation and dispute resolution, alongside Mr. MJ  Srikant, Managing Partner, Pune Bar &amp;
Bench News LLP, a seasoned strategist, communication  expert, and serial entrepreneur with over

courtroom skills.

The initiative was
guided by Mr. Kunwarsingh Singhel, Deputy Law Secretary, and
further  strengthened by an address from Adv.
(Dr.) Rajendra Ambhule, who highlighted the importance  of aligning academic learning with real-world
legal practice. The event was also graced by Mr.  Priyesh Shah, Joint Commissioner, Customs,
Excise &amp; Service Tax, Government of India, and  Adv. Pritisingh Pardeshi, Vice President,

across the state.” 

Emphasizing
the vision behind the initiative, Advocate Vishal Vijayrao Kale said “Legal
education  must evolve beyond theoretical
learning—it must translate into real courtroom capability. Maha  Bar Bench is a decisive step towards
nurturing professionals who are skilled, confident, and ready  to lead within the legal system.” 

Highlighting
the larger purpose, Mr. MJ Srikant added “This is not merely a
program, but the  beginning of a movement
in legal skilling and employability. It is about creating structured  pathways where classrooms connect
meaningfully with courtrooms.” 

The Maha Bar Bench
Conclave 2026 marks the beginning of a new era in legal education,
aligned  with the national vision of
Viksit Bharat — laying a strong foundation for skilled, employable,  and responsible legal professionals who

<description><![CDATA[ Authored
by a seasoned clean energy/EV systems analyst

Every
clean energy project that reaches financial close—whether a solar portfolio in
Puerto Rico, a battery storage deployment in Massachusetts, or an EV charging
rollout in central Mexico—ultimately converges in a financial model. Behind
every announcement, tariff, or ribbon-cutting lies a set of assumptions,
algorithms and risk calibrations that determine whether a project is viable.

In
2025, many of those decisions within Redaptive, the Denver-based
Energy-as-a-Service firm backed by Honeywell, CBRE and the Canada Pension Plan
Investment Board, were driven by financial modelling architecture developed by
Kshitiz Raj.

An
Energy Finance Specialist with an M.S. from Duke University Fuqua School of
Business, Raj structured transactions totalling nearly $70 million in 2025
alone. These ranged from a $32.7 million equipment financing deal and long-term
solar PPAs in California to battery storage systems in Massachusetts,
distributed solar portfolios in Puerto Rico, and multi-site deployments across
the UK education sector.

Yet
the real innovation did not lie in the deals themselves—it lay in how they were
made possible.

From
Fragile Spreadsheets to Scalable Systems

Renewable
energy finance has long depended on spreadsheet-based models—typically built in
Excel, iteratively copied, modified and repurposed across transactions. While
functional in early stages, such models tend to fragment over time, creating
multiple versions with embedded inconsistencies and opaque logic.

Redaptive’s
internal pricing engine had reached precisely this point. Five separate
macros—each performing near-identical optimisation tasks across variables such
as EPC costs, PPA pricing, escalation curves and operating expenses—had become
difficult to maintain and prone to silent errors.

Raj’s
intervention was architectural rather than incremental. He consolidated these
disparate macros into a unified solver capable of dynamically handling multiple
variables through parameterised inputs. Circular reference resolution was
re-engineered, convergence logic strengthened, and robust error-handling
mechanisms introduced—transforming a brittle spreadsheet into a scalable
financial engine.

The
result was not just efficiency, but reliability. The rebuilt model supported a
significant portion of Redaptive’s 2025 portfolio—spanning solar, storage, EV
infrastructure and multi-asset deployments across North America, Europe and
emerging markets.

Why
Battery Innovation Changes Financial Engineering

This
transformation comes at a time when battery technologies themselves are
evolving rapidly.

The
global solid-state battery market, valued at $1.67 billion in 2025, is
projected to grow exponentially, with Toyota targeting higher energy density
and sub-10-minute charging capabilities. In parallel, sodium-ion technologies
are gaining traction, with CATL scaling production and BYD investing in
large-scale manufacturing capacity.

These
shifts are not merely technological—they are financial. Lower capital costs,
longer cycle lives and evolving warranty structures directly affect project
cashflows, risk allocation and debt structuring. Financial models must
therefore evolve in tandem with hardware innovation, translating
electrochemical progress into bankable economics.

EV
Charging as an Asset Class

The
same modelling flexibility proved critical in Redaptive’s partnership with
Invisible Urban Charging, where EV infrastructure is deployed under a
charging-as-a-service framework.

Unlike
traditional assets, EV charging combines elements of infrastructure, mobility
and energy systems. Revenue depends on utilisation rates, fleet behaviour and
tariff structures rather than fixed generation outputs. Integrating these
variables into a single financial model requires a modular yet unified
approach—precisely what Raj’s redesign enabled.

This
capability became central to a $500 million EV infrastructure commitment in
Mexico’s Bajío region, reported by Bloomberg. The project integrates fleet
charging, grid infrastructure and long-term service contracts—requiring
simultaneous pricing of demand certainty, capital costs and operational risk.

Projected EV Charging
Infrastructure Market Size (2030)

(USD
Billions)

●       
India : $12B

●       
Mexico : $3B

EV Outlook, Expert Market Research, BloombergNEF

Implications
for Emerging Markets

The
modelling framework has begun attracting attention beyond North America.

At
IIT Roorkee, Professor Pradeep Bhargava notes that such consolidated financial
engines could significantly reduce project development time in India, where EV
adoption is often constrained more by infrastructure gaps than by demand.

Similarly,
infrastructure firms like S P Singla Constructions see potential in bundling
charging, storage and ancillary systems into unified financing
structures—particularly along high-growth transport corridors.

While
companies such as Tata Power and ChargeZone are expanding charging networks,
the next phase may depend less on deployment capability and more on financial
structuring efficiency.

What
Actually Scales

Clean
energy technologies are often discussed in terms of hardware—solar panels,
batteries, chargers. Yet hardware does not scale in isolation. It depends on
regulatory alignment, supply chains and, critically, financial viability.

What
travels most efficiently across geographies is not equipment, but logic.

A
well-designed financial model can price a solar PPA in California, a battery
contract in Massachusetts, an EV fleet network in Mexico or a hybrid
infrastructure project in India with the same underlying framework. It
abstracts complexity into structured inputs and outputs—making scalability
possible.

This
is the often-overlooked layer of the energy transition. Engineers design
systems. Policymakers shape markets. But financial models determine what
actually gets built.

In
that sense, the most consequential infrastructure of the clean energy
transition may not be visible on the ground at all. It may reside instead in
the code and logic that quietly decide which projects move from concept to
reality—and which do not. ]]></description>

<title>The Future of AI Citations and Search Visibility – Insights from BrandStory, a Leading SEO Agency in Bangalore</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Search
behaviour is undergoing structural change worldwide. AI driven search systems
are redefining how information is discovered, evaluated and presented.
Traditional ranking models are no longer the sole indicators of visibility.
BrandStory, a leading SEO
agency in Bangalore, observes a rapid shift toward citation-based
visibility, where authority and contextual relevance determine inclusion in
AI-generated responses across platforms like Google&#039;s AI Overviews, Perplexity
and Microsoft Copilot, each with distinct indexing behaviours that businesses
must understand separately.

AI
systems prioritise information derived from credible and structured sources.
These systems analyse semantic meaning, topical depth and cross-platform
consistency. Brands with strong digital ecosystems gain higher probability of
being referenced within generative search outputs. This shift introduces a new
competitive layer beyond conventional optimisation.

Citation
Visibility as Digital Trust

When
a brand appears within AI-generated summaries, user perception of authority
increases significantly before users even reach a website. Early influence now
happens within search interfaces rather than landing pages. This exposure also
carries risk as inaccurate AI citations about a brand can spread quickly.
Monitoring brand mentions across generative platforms and maintaining
consistent, factually precise content across all digital assets is essential
for managing this effectively.

Building
Entity-Based SEO- Practically

BrandStory
emphasises entity-based SEO as a foundational requirement for modern
visibility. Search systems evaluate entities rather than isolated pages. Brands
benefit from claiming and optimising their Google Business Profile, maintaining
consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) data across directories, building
Wikipedia or Wikidata presence where eligible and creating structured knowledge
hubs, pillar pages supported by interconnected topic clusters. Clear brand identity
and authoritative content clusters directly improve citation likelihood.

Technical
Implementation

Structured
data markup using Schema.org, implemented through JSON-LD and semantic HTML
architecture help AI models interpret content accurately. Key schema types
include Organisation, Article, FAQPage and HowTo, depending on content type.
Clean heading hierarchies, logical information flow and fast-loading pages
further improve extractability. Poorly structured websites reduce inclusion in
generative responses. For local businesses in India, LocalBusiness schema with
region-specific attributes strengthens visibility in geographically contextual
AI queries.

Content
Quality and Format

AI
systems prioritise clarity, completeness and informational value. Long form
content performs effectively when structured with intent-focused depth and
logical progression. Surface-level content loses relevance within AI-driven
environments. Content freshness plays a major role as AI systems favour
recently updated and accurate information. Regular content review cycles
therefore become essential. Multimodal assets – structured videos with
transcripts, images with descriptive alt text and podcast content with text
summaries expand citation surface area beyond written pages alone.

EEAT
signals covering Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness
are increasingly influential. Author bios with verifiable credentials,
first-hand case studies and data-backed claims all strengthen AI citation
probability. User generated content such as verified reviews and community
Q&amp;A also contributes positively to authority signals.

Competitive
and Citation Gap Analysis

Understanding
why competitors receive AI citations requires structured analysis. Reviewing
which content formats, schema types and backlink profiles competitors use
reveals actionable gaps. Unlinked brand mentions- instances where a brand is
referenced online without a hyperlink represent low effort citation
opportunities. Outreach to convert these mentions into linked references
strengthens entity recognition across the web.

Measurement
in the AI Era

Traditional
metrics, including keyword rankings and organic traffic provide only partial
visibility. New indicators include citation frequency across AI platforms, AI
mention presence in zero-click responses and semantic visibility scores. Tools
such as SE Ranking, Semrush&#039;s AI tracking features and manual prompt testing
across AI search tools help businesses benchmark progress. Establishing a
measurement baseline now positions organisations to track ROI as these metrics
continue to mature.

Industry
and Scale Considerations

Citation
strategies are not one-size-fits-all. E-commerce brands benefit from structured
product schema and review aggregation. Healthcare and legal businesses must
prioritise authoritative sourcing and compliance aligned content. SaaS
companies gain from technical depth and integration focused documentation. For
businesses operating locally across India, regional language content and
location specific entity signals offer additional discoverability advantages
within AI systems serving those audiences.

Strategic
Foresight for Long Term Visibility

Search
ecosystems are becoming increasingly autonomous. BrandStory notes a rising
demand for adaptive content systems capable of responding to evolving query
patterns. Organisations investing early in structured knowledge frameworks,
consistent authority signals and technical precision are likely to secure
stronger long term visibility across generative platforms.

As
a reputable digital marketing agency in Bangalore,
BrandStory integrates technical SEO, content architecture, entity optimisation
and authority building into unified strategies. This approach enables brands to
transition from indexed presence to cited authority. In the AI era, brand
visibility depends on structured expertise, consistent messaging and strategic
execution. Early adaptation defines competitive advantage as search continues
its shift toward generative intelligence. For brands aiming to strengthen
AI-driven search visibility and organic growth, connect with BrandStory to
build a structured, citation-ready SEO strategy. ]]></description>

<title>From Shooting Range to Political Spotlight: Vikram Kakade, NCP’s Emerging Frontrunner For MLC</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-shooting-range-to-political-spotlight-vikram-kakade-ncps-emerging-frontrunner-for-mlc</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-shooting-range-to-political-spotlight-vikram-kakade-ncps-emerging-frontrunner-for-mlc</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a landscape where legacy often defines entry, Vikram
Kakade’s journey stands out for the way he has blended inheritance with
individual pursuit. While he carries forward the name of his father, former MP
Sanjay Kakade, his early years were marked less by public life and more by
discipline, focus, and sport.

 

Kakade trained at the Gun for Glory Shooting Academy, the
high-performance centre founded by Olympic medalist Gagan Narang. It was here
that he honed a temperament built on precision and patience, qualities
essential to competitive shooting. His efforts translated into tangible success
when he secured a gold medal in the double trap event at the G.V. Mavlankar
Shooting Championships in 2013, marking his presence on the national stage.

 

Those who have followed his journey often point to this
phase as formative, not just for the accolades, but for the mindset it
instilled. Shooting, after all, is as much about mental control as it is about
skill, and Kakade’s sporting years appear to have laid a strong foundation for
the roles he would gradually step into.

 

Over time, his focus expanded beyond the shooting range into
the world of business. Based in Pune, he has been closely associated with
infrastructure and real estate ventures linked to family-run enterprises. In a
sector that demands both long-term vision and on-ground execution, Kakade has
quietly built experience, staying largely away from the limelight while
strengthening his operational understanding.

 

While several names have already been put forward, attention
is steadily shifting toward Vikram Kakade. The Nationalist Congress Party is
yet to formally announce its choice, but within internal discussions, Kakade
has emerged as a strong contender for MLC elections 2026. Sources suggest that
his growing visibility is not incidental. His name has gained momentum in
recent days, aided by support from Rajya Sabha MP Parth Pawar, placing him
within a closely watched circle of younger leaders. Amid a broader field of
candidates, this backing has helped bring Kakade into sharper focus, signalling
a possible next step in his evolving public profile.

 

In recent years, his public visibility has grown, driven not
just by lineage or business, but also by his associations within emerging
circles of leadership. He is often seen as part of the younger network around
Parth Pawar, a grouping that reflects a more contemporary, next-generation
outlook within Maharashtra’s evolving socio-political landscape. This
association has added a new dimension to his profile, positioning him among a
cohort that is increasingly being watched for future roles and
responsibilities.

 

What makes Kakade’s trajectory noteworthy is this
intersection of worlds: sport, enterprise, and public engagement. Each phase
seems to have contributed a different layer, the discipline of sport, the
pragmatism of business, and the visibility that comes with larger networks and
affiliations.

 

As conversations around his next steps continue to gather
pace, Vikram Kakade represents a familiar yet evolving archetype, the
second-generation entrant who is not merely defined by legacy, but is actively
shaping a path that reflects both continuity and change. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
29th April 2026 : What if your life insurance actually helped
you stay healthy and grew your money while doing it?

Most
of us only think about protection or health coverage when something goes wrong.
By then, it is often too late to plan. Tata AIA Life Insurance is changing that
with Shubh Health Criti, A first of its kind unit-linked life insurance plan
that lets you build a dedicated health fund over time. It earns market-linked
returns, covers 60+ critical illnesses, and allows tax-free withdrawals for
treatment so when you need it most, the money is already there. More
information is available at www.tataaia.com.

A
fund, not just a policy

Shubh
Health Criti reimagines what life insurance and protection can look like.
Instead of a traditional payout triggered by diagnosis, this plan lets
policyholders accumulate a health fund that earns market-linked returns and can
be drawn upon, tax-free, for critical illness treatment, procedures, or
associated costs. The plan covers 60+ critical illnesses, locks in premiums for
30 years, and includes a premium waiver in the event of death or disability, so
the fund keeps growing even when life doesn&#039;t go as planned. Customers can
explore coverage flexibility, eligibility conditions and wellness programme
details at www.tataaia.com.

Built

planning has always been reactive- a safety net for when things go wrong. Shubh
Health Criti flips that equation. It&#039;s a fund you build, a future you plan for
and a wellness ecosystem that keeps you healthier along the way,” said Jeelani

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-emerging-startup-powerhouse-2026-from-deep-tech-innovation-to-lifestyle-brands-a-new-wave-of-disruptors-reshaping-multiple-industries</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India’s startup ecosystem in 2026 reflects a
striking blend of innovation, ambition, and sectoral diversity, spanning deep
technology, real estate, digital marketing, aviation training, consumer brands,
and experiential lifestyle ventures. From AI-driven defence systems and
next-generation marketing platforms to curated dining experiences and scalable
consumer goods brands, a new generation of founders is redefining how value is
created and delivered across industries.

capabilities, and market impact—showcasing how India’s entrepreneurial
landscape continues to evolve beyond traditional boundaries into globally
competitive, innovation-led growth stories.

actionable principles to help readers overcome challenges, build resilience,

3) Astroc

SreeHarsha Pandula, Founding Director &amp;
CTO, Astroc As Tech

deployable, real-world systems that function where others fail.

His work integrates AI, machine learning, and

deployments spanning agriculture, infrastructure, and defence.

“We are building systems that function where

Pandula, Founding Director &amp; CTO, Astroc As Tech.

4) Mykos craft kitchen &amp; bar

South Bangalore’s top dining and cocktail
destination, Mykos is redefining the city’s scene with its blend of global
cuisine and ambience. Designed as a Greek-themed escape, the space features

From sushi to salads and kebabs to kheema, the
global cuisine at Mykos is a seamless journey across cultures, built to indulge
every craving. This is topped off with a thoughtfully curated selection of
crafted cocktails that elevate the overall experience.

setting for date nights? Not to mention, it’s as stunning by day with a sunlit
open-air ambience.

So whether you’re just visiting or call
Bangalore home, Mykos is a spot you don’t want to miss! 

5)Cohort

Across India&#039;s leading organizations, a silent
career crisis is unfolding. Highly competent professionals, managers, senior
leaders, and domain experts are being consistently overlooked for roles they
are objectively qualified for.

The reason is rarely performance. It is
presence.

India has built one of the world&#039;s most
technically sophisticated workforces. Decades of rigorous STEM education have
produced exceptional analytical talent. What that system did not build: the
ability to command a room, influence a boardroom, and lead through language
with the same precision applied to technical work.

Research consistently shows that beyond a
certain career level, communication and executive presence become the primary
drivers of progression, not technical output. In an era where AI is rapidly
absorbing analytical functions, this gap is no longer a soft concern. It is a
strategic liability that compounds silently with every passing year.

Standard corporate training programs have
consistently failed to address this. Designed for scale, they offer generalized
frameworks that do not account for individual communication patterns, industry
context, or leadership level.

Cohort Learning Space was built specifically
to close this gap. Through structured one-on-one coaching, mid-to-senior
professionals develop the communication precision, stakeholder influence, and
executive presence that organizations are actively seeking and rewarding.

The results speak for themselves: ceilings
broken, boardrooms commanded, trajectories permanently changed.

Your technical excellence got you the seat at
the table. Your communication will determine how long you keep it.

Take the first step. www.cohortlearningspace.com

6) The Pilot

India is producing more commercial pilots than
at any point in its aviation history — and demand is only accelerating. With
over 1,000 aircraft on order across Indian carriers, the question is no longer
whether aviation careers are viable. It is whether aspiring pilots are choosing
the right path to get there.

Pilot courses in India broadly fall into two
tracks. The first is the conventional CPL route — where a student selects a
flying training organisation (FTO), completes DGCA-approved ground school, logs
the required flying hours, and earns a Commercial Pilot Licence. The second is
the airline cadet programme, where carriers like Air India and IndiGo directly
induct candidates, issue a Letter of Intent, and complete the programme through
approved training vendors.

Both paths require DGCA ground school
clearances across subjects including Air Navigation, Meteorology, Air
Regulations, and Technical General. These examinations are the foundation — and
the filter. Students who treat them casually rarely progress cleanly.

For anyone researching pilot courses in India,
choosing the right FTO matters more than most students acknowledge. Training
quality, aircraft availability, instructor standards, and completion rates vary
significantly across schools in India and abroad. Decisions made at the
school-selection stage have a direct impact on how long the journey takes and
what it ultimately costs.

ThePilot.in works with cadets
across both tracks — conventional CPL training and airline cadet programmes —
guiding aspiring pilots from zero experience to airline cockpits.

7) OneClickDrive

OneClickDrive, a UAE-based mobility
marketplace, has added more seller listings to its pre-owned vehicle segment.
Buyers in Dubai now have a single place to browse options, check vehicle
details, and contact sellers without bouncing between platforms. The timing
makes sense. Demand for pre-owned vehicles has been climbing, driven by a large
expat population and the steady churn of vehicles from corporate fleets and
short-stay visitors. 

Dubai is one of the more active second-hand
markets in the region, vehicle turnover in Dubai is unusually high. Corporate
lease returns, departing expats, and fleet rotations push well-maintained cars
into the second-hand market regularly. and OneClickDrive has responded by
broadening its listings. 

What sets it apart is the structure.
OneClickDrive does not own any of the vehicles listed. Buyers connect directly
with independent sellers and dealers who manage their own inventory and handle
transactions themselves.  Budget-friendly
sedans share space with high-end SUVs and luxury cars, which says a lot about
who is actually shopping here. The market is not one type of buyer. For anyone
searching for used cars in Dubai,
the appeal is simple: one interface, multiple sellers, no showroom runs.

Buyers now expect price visibility and direct
seller access. The platform is built around that, keeping both sides in
control. Search improvements and better listing quality are on the agenda, with
the goal of staying useful as more of the buying process moves online.

10) Zzeeh

In an industry where execution allows no
margin for error, longevity is the clearest measure of credibility. Zzeeh
Productions Pvt Ltd, a Bangalore-based event company, marks 20 years in the
industry, a journey built on trust, consistency, and execution across corporate
events and luxury weddings.

Founded in February 2006, Zzeeh has grown
alongside a transforming industry. In the corporate space, the company has
worked with Adobe, Oracle, Accenture, and others, delivering conferences,
product launches, and large-scale gatherings. In the luxury wedding segment,
Zzeeh has managed high-profile celebrations including the Sandur Princess
wedding and IPL cricketer Shreyas Gopal&#039;s wedding.

A defining strength has been execution
ownership, integrating planning and production to ensure concepts translate
seamlessly on ground.

&quot;Events were always about trust. Clients
rely on us for moments that cannot be repeated.&quot; ~ Zubair Abdul Waheed

Twenty years in, Zzeeh&#039;s credibility reflects
one consistent truth: trust is built one event at a time.

11) Brew Mill

Located on Neeladri Road in Electronic City,
Brew Mill is redefining Bangalore’s craft beer scene with an experience that
blends industrial nostalgia and modern design. Positioned in one of the city’s
fastest-growing hubs, the brewery stands out as a visual and social landmark,
drawing attention for both its ambience and its brewing craft.

At its core, Brew Mill offers eight beers on
tap—Brew Mill Bock, IPA, Kolsch, Lager, Mead, Pilsner, Rosella, and Wheat—each
brewed to deliver a distinct profile while maintaining balance and consistency.

caters to both craft beer enthusiasts and a broader social crowd.

<title>RB Falcon Developers Strengthens Its Position as a Legally Trusted Gateway to Dholera Special Investment Region Investments</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Ahmedabad : As investor interest
steadily grows around India’s first planned greenfield smart city, Dholera, one
Ahmedabad-based real estate firm is distinguishing itself through a
legal-first, transparency-driven approach. RB Falcon Developers is increasingly
being recognized as a structured and credible gateway for individuals and
institutions seeking secure participation in the long-term growth story of
Dholera.

Building Trust Through Legal Clarity
With rising attention on Dholera, concerns around land legality, documentation,
and approval processes continue to influence investor decisions. Addressing
this critical gap, RB Falcon Developers has built its foundation on strict
legal compliance.

The
company emphasizes that it strictly deals only in legally verified properties,
backed by clear land titles, NA (Non-Agricultural) approvals, NOCs, and all
required regulatory documentation. In cases where certain approvals are under
process, the firm maintains complete transparency with clients, ensuring they
are fully informed before making any investment decision.

This
legal-first approach has positioned RB Falcon Developers as a company widely
recognized for facilitating legally compliant and verified real estate
transactions in Dholera.

Founder-Led Credibility and Experience
RB Falcon Developers is led by its founders, Arun Chawda and Ravi Mittal, whose
combined leadership continues to shape the company’s credibility-driven
approach. Arun Chawda brings over 20 years of experience in the real estate
sector, offering deep market insight and a strong ethical foundation that
reinforces trust among investors.

The
broader leadership team brings diverse, on-ground experience across multiple
real estate markets, including Noida (ready-to-move villas – 7+ years),
Faridabad (plotting – 18+ years), and Sirsa (plotting – 18+ years), along with
an overall plotting experience of 5+ years and Dholera experience – 5+ years.
This collective exposure contributes to a well-rounded and practical
understanding of land investment dynamics.

“In
emerging markets like Dholera, trust is built on clarity and legality. Our
focus has always been to ensure that every investor—whether retail or
institutional—gets access to verified opportunities with complete transparency.
We believe long-term value comes from doing things the right way, not the fast
way,” says Arun Chawda.

Their
leadership has been instrumental in building RB Falcon Developers into a
trusted advisory-led platform rather than just a transactional real estate
firm.

Specialized Focus on Land Parcels
RB Falcon Developers specializes in land parcel transactions within Dholera,
with a strong emphasis on making retail investment opportunities accessible
while also catering to high-value clients.

The
company has developed capabilities to handle transactions ranging from
individual buyers to large-scale investments between ₹300 crore and ₹4000
crore, reflecting its operational strength across segments.

Simplifying a Complex Investment Landscape
Understanding the challenges faced by first-time investors, RB Falcon
Developers offers a structured, end-to-end process—including site visits, legal
due diligence, documentation verification, and final registry.

This
approach ensures that investors are not just buying land, but making
well-informed, secure investment decisions backed by verified information and
proper compliance checks, in line with the company’s advisory-driven model.

Aligned with Dholera’s Long-Term Vision
With major infrastructure developments such as the upcoming international
airport, expressway connectivity, and industrial zones underway, Dholera
continues to attract forward-looking investors.

RB
Falcon Developers aligns its offerings with this growth by focusing on
strategically located land parcels within planned development zones and infrastructure
corridors. Projects such as Semicon Square, along with other developments in
its portfolio, reflect this forward-looking investment approach and alignment
with the region’s industrial and economic expansion.

Advisory-Driven Approach Over Transactional Selling
In contrast to conventional real estate practices, RB Falcon Developers adopts
a consultative, education-focused approach. The company actively guides clients
on zoning regulations, infrastructure developments, legal compliance, and realistic
investment expectations.

This
experience-driven advisory model has helped build long-term trust, particularly
among investors entering the Dholera market for the first time.

A Reputation Built on Compliance and Transparency
As the Dholera real estate ecosystem evolves, credibility is becoming the
defining factor. RB Falcon Developers continues to strengthen its reputation
through its legal-first approach, transparent communication, and structured
investment facilitation.

The
company is increasingly recognized for its commitment to secure, compliant, and
well-documented deals, positioning itself as a reliable partner for long-term
real estate investment in Dholera.

<title>Lists, Lanterns, and Ledgers: Stepping into Contrasting Literary Worlds with Rheaa Noor</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/lists-lanterns-and-ledgers-stepping-into-contrasting-literary-worlds-with-rheaa-noor</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/lists-lanterns-and-ledgers-stepping-into-contrasting-literary-worlds-with-rheaa-noor</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Books and Ideas |
2026 : In her two novels, Blame It On The Wedding
Season and The Library That Remembers, Rheaa Noor explores a shared question
through very different worlds, what does it take to stop pretending that you
are fine?

While one story unfolds
in the vibrant setting of a Jaipur wedding, the other is rooted in the quiet,
reflective atmosphere of a rain soaked town. Together, they offer contrasting
yet connected emotional journeys.

Weaving Stories Through
Two Worlds

The Wedding

Blame It On The Wedding
Season presents itself as a romantic story but carries deeper emotional
undercurrents.

Aanya Kapoor arrives
with structure and certainty, relying on lists and planning. Advay Mehra brings
spontaneity and presence. Their dynamic reflects two different ways of
navigating life, control versus acceptance.

Set within the layered
environment of an Indian wedding, the narrative captures both celebration and
social complexity. A single rumour becomes a turning point, highlighting how
fragile emotional journeys can be in such spaces.

The story ultimately
asks whether safety lies in predictability or in taking emotional risks.

The Library

The Library That
Remembers moves in a quieter, more introspective direction.

Sunita’s arrival at
Elderganj’s library introduces a setting where truth becomes difficult to
avoid. Subtle elements such as a steady flame and a shifting ledger create a
sense of quiet magical realism without overwhelming the narrative.

At its core is the
evolving relationship between Sunita and Maya. Their connection, rooted in
shared vulnerability, explores grief, identity, and same sex love with
restraint.

The novel does not
offer easy closure. Instead, it presents healing as something that continues
beyond the final page.

Two Stories, One
Emotional Thread

Read together, the two
novels reflect a consistent thematic focus. Both protagonists must confront the
lives they have built to protect themselves.

Whether through
celebration or solitude, both narratives arrive at the same point, the choice

<title>Ketaki Nikam Transforms Pressure into Prestige with Tirumala Designers’ Landmark Campaign</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, April 29, 2026 : Renowned Mumbai-based commercial
photographer Ketaki Nikam, founder of Piccturemint, has shared the remarkable
behind-the-scenes story of how a last-minute assignment became the most
successful campaign in Tirumala Designers’ history, a powerful testament to her
signature ability to transform brand narratives through creative vision and technical
excellence.

When Tirumala Designers’ campaign landed on her desk with
just 2-3 days to go, the project was already in crisis: the original
photographer had stepped away, leaving the agency in a tight spot. The agency
briefed Ketaki with pre-decided shots and a tight timeline that left little
room for redesigns. True to her professional ethos, she delivered the required
creative exactly as directed. But midway through the shoot, inspiration struck.

“I got some shot in mind,” Ketaki recalls. “I told the
agency person, ‘I have an idea. Can I try it? If you like it, great; otherwise
we continue with the original plan.’” They gave her the green light. She
repositioned the model, crafted dramatic lighting, and added a striking
dripping effect. One click later, the image that would become the campaign’s
hero shot was born.

The result was extraordinary. That single photograph was
rolled out across more than 150 hoardings in Mumbai and became the central
visual for Tirumala’s entire campaign. It was printed on shopping bags, carry
bags, coffee mugs, and promotional merchandise; instantly turning the campaign
into a city-wide sensation. To this day, it remains Tirumala Designers’ biggest
and most impactful campaign.

“Photography is more than capturing images, it’s about
creating a brand’s soul,” says Ketaki Nikam. “With Piccturemint, we strive to
elevate every client’s story, making it unforgettable. The Tirumala campaign
was a perfect example of how one creative spark, even under pressure, can
redefine a brand’s visual identity.”

A Sophia Polytechnic alumnus with a foundation in Commercial
Arts and specialisation in analogue and digital photography, Ketaki Nikam has
spent over 15 years (celebrated in late 2025) reshaping brand identities across
fashion, food, lifestyle, corporate, jewellery, automotive, and architectural
sectors. Her client roster includes Tata Croma, celebrity chefs such as Sanjeev
Kapoor, Ranveer Brar, Harpal Singh Sokhi and Amrita Raichand, fashion labels
like Vita Moderna and Kalki Fashion, as well as high-profile projects including
the 2024 inauguration shoot for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and performances
at the Bollywood Music Project.

Through Piccturemint; her full-service production house
specialising in commercial photography, ad films, and brand films, Ketaki
continues to deliver end-to-end visual storytelling that blends aesthetic
precision with authentic emotional resonance. The Tirumala success story is yet
another milestone in her journey of turning challenges into iconic brand moments.

Ketaki Nikam is available for interviews and new brand
collaborations.

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/iim-kozhikodes-design-thinking-with-ai-programme-is-attracting-professionals-from-across-the-country-heres-why</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ According
to a recent report by McKinsey, generative AI alone could add up to $4.4
trillion annually to the global economy, yet most organisations are still
struggling to convert that potential into tangible business outcomes.

This
is where IIM Kozhikode’s Design Thinking and Innovation with AI
programme addresses a critical need gap. As organisations begin to push for
real outcomes over theoretical knowledge, a new expectation is emerging.
Professionals must not just understand AI, they must apply it to create
products, solve business challenges, and directly impact the bottom line. This
shift is visible across industries, from product teams reimagining customer
journeys to consultants building AI-led solutions and marketers leveraging data
for sharper decision-making. The era of passive learning is giving way to a
builder mindset, where execution and impact define relevance.

Unlike
conventional AI programmes that focus heavily on in-demand tools and theory, IIM
Kozhikode’s approach is fundamentally different: it is designed for builders,
not just learners. The programme equips professionals to apply AI across
real-world business contexts - from product innovation and customer experience
to marketing and business model design. By combining AI capabilities with
human-centred design thinking, participants learn how to identify real customer
problems, prototype solutions, and create tangible business value, bridging the
critical gap between knowledge and execution.

Key
Programme Outcomes

●       
Create innovative market research strategies,
product concepts and customer engagement campaigns using Generative AI.

●       
Design innovative business models and service
delivery systems by integrating Agile design principles and AI technologies.

●       
Analyse the impact of AI on consumer behaviour
and service design.

This
transition from learning to building is reinforced through a deeply practical,
application-driven curriculum. With immersive case studies, hands-on
frameworks, and a capstone project rooted in real business challenges,
professionals don’t just understand AI, they apply it. Participants gain the
confidence to experiment, iterate, and implement AI-led solutions within their
organisations, transforming abstract concepts into actionable strategies that
drive growth and competitive advantage. 

What
further sets the programme apart is its relevance across roles and industries.
Mid- to senior-level professionals; from product managers and marketers to
consultants, founders, and strategy leaders, come together in a diverse, cross-functional
cohort. This collaborative environment mirrors real-world business dynamics,
enabling participants to learn how AI can be leveraged across functions while
developing a builder mindset focused on rapid prototyping, structured
problem-solving, and outcome-driven innovation.

Programme
Details:

●       
Starts on: June 30th, 2026

●       
Mode: Online

●       
Duration: 25 Weeks

●       
Fee: INR 1,39,000 + GST

●       
Eligibility: Minimum graduate or diploma
holder (10+2+3)

Backed
by IIM Kozhikode’s academic excellence—ranked #3 in India (NIRF 2025) and
globally recognised with EQUIS and AMBA accreditations, the programme delivers
both credibility and cutting-edge relevance. Having trained over 44,000
professionals across 1,400+ programmes, the institution continues to shape
future-ready leaders.

<title>Brands Make a Beeline for Music Licences As IPL Season Kicks Off</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/brands-make-a-beeline-for-music-licences-as-ipl-season-kicks-off</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/brands-make-a-beeline-for-music-licences-as-ipl-season-kicks-off</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ IPL
teams, fashion labels, D2C brands, and FMCG majors rush to clear music rights
as the season begins ; Driven by better ROI on licensed music and tighter
enforcement from labels

The
IPL season has begun and with it, a question making its way through the legal
and marketing departments of some of India&#039;s biggest brands: is our music
licensed? For Chennai Super Kings, one of the tournament&#039;s most commercially
active franchises, the cost of not asking that question arrived in the form of
a legal notice from Sun TV, triggered by the unauthorised use of music from the
Rajinikanth films Jailer, Jailer 2, and Coolie in their
IPL 2026 jersey launch promo video.

Sun
TV moved the Madras High Court, seeking ₹1 crore in damages and disclosure of
revenues generated from the campaign. CSK, for its part, removed the content
and gave the court an undertaking that it would not use such music without
obtaining a proper licence in the future. One promo video. One jersey launch.
One courtroom reckoning and a signal sent across the industry that resonated
far beyond the franchise itself.

If
it can happen to CSK, a franchise with an entire commercial and legal
infrastructure behind it, it can happen to any brand. That is the calculation
marketing teams across fashion, D2C, FMCG, and e-commerce are now making as IPL
campaigns go live. Music licensing, long buried at the bottom of a production
checklist, has moved sharply up the agenda.

&quot;If
CSK can receive a legal notice for a single song during IPL, no brand running a
campaign this season is immune. Music licensing is no longer optional.&quot; -
Gaurav Dagaonkar, CEO and co-founder of Hoopr

The
pattern extends well beyond cricket. In early 2025, Sony Music Entertainment
filed a petition in the Bombay High Court against Myntra, alleging that the
fashion e-commerce platform had been illegally using and exploiting Sony&#039;s
sound recordings and synchronising copyrighted tracks with videos for the
purposes of advertising products, promoting its brand, and for its own
commercial benefit, on both its app and website. Sony cited over 21 songs used
without a licence and sought ₹5 crore in damages claiming that despite a
cease-and-desist notice, Myntra had continued using the content.

Industry
insiders say hundreds of such legal notices, from labels large and small are
issued every year, almost always settled quietly. Brands pay up, sign a
licensing agreement, and move on without public acknowledgement. The cases that
do surface do so precisely because the parties are high-profile enough that the
dispute cannot be contained.

Labels
have significantly upgraded their enforcement capabilities. Major music
companies and increasingly indie labels too now deploy content identification
systems that scan social platforms in real time, detecting unlicensed use
within hours of a post going live, regardless of whether audio has been
speed-shifted, pitch-changed, or layered with voiceover. During IPL season,
when brands post at high frequency across Instagram, YouTube, and Meta, the
exposure from a single unlicensed track can cascade across hundreds of pieces
of content simultaneously.

The
compliance story, compelling as it is, tells only half the picture. Brands
using popular licensed songs in their reels are seeing 60 to 70 per cent higher
engagement compared to content using generic or royalty-free tracks, a
difference showing up directly in campaign ROI.

&quot;The
question brands used to ask was &#039;do we need to license this?&#039;&quot; says
Gaurav. &quot;Today the question is &#039;how quickly can we get this cleared?&#039; The
ROI argument has done what the legal argument alone never could.&quot;

Hoopr,
India&#039;s B2B music licensing platform, says it has signed agreements with four
to five IPL franchises for the 2026 season, covering walk-out anthems, stadium
activations, and digital campaign content. Its enterprise client base spans
fashion, D2C, e-commerce, and FMCG with Libas, Myntra, and Frido among the
180-plus brands now on annual licensing agreements. The platform has seen
inbound brand queries triple since February.

What
is notable about the current wave of activity is the breadth of music being
sought. Bollywood remains the dominant request, but brands are increasingly
chasing pop and indie artists including Aditya Rikhari, Badshah, Karan Aujla,
and AP Dhillon are among the most searched names on the Hoopr platform. The
Punjabi pop crossover in particular has become a reliable engagement driver for
fashion and lifestyle brands targeting younger, digitally-native audiences.

The
demand extends well beyond Hindi music. Regional and national brands targeting
regional audiences are actively seeking licences from labels like Merchant
Records and Madhura Audio, the Telugu music label whose catalog has become s  ought-after for campaigns in Andhra Pradesh
and Telangana. International English music is also seeing a surge in interest,
driven by D2C and e-commerce brands skewing toward globally-influenced
consumers.

&quot;We
are seeing brands think about music the way they think about influencer
selection,&quot; says Dagaonkar. &quot;They are asking which artist connects
with which audience, which sound drives purchase intent in which category. That
sophistication simply did not exist three years ago.&quot;

Hoopr&#039;s
enterprise licensing model gives brands pre-cleared access to music from UMG,
YRF, IPRS, Merchant Records, Madhura Audio, and international labels. Pricing
starts at ₹6 lakh for smaller brand packages and scales to ₹75 lakh and above
for large enterprises. As the IPL season moves into full swing, brands that
have not yet resolved their music licensing position are finding that the CSK
case was not an anomaly, it was a warning.

&quot;Music
is no longer a creative afterthought. It is a performance variable and now, a
legal one too. Brands that understand both are seeing it in their
numbers.&quot; — Gaurav Dagaonkar, CEO and co-founder, Hoopr ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
April 29, 2026 : Liebherr Appliances
India continues to bring its legacy of German precision and engineering
excellence to Indian consumers, while steadily strengthening its local
presence. As part of this commitment, the company has established its
manufacturing footprint in India with its facility in Ch.Sambhaji Nagar,
marking a significant step towards catering more closely to the needs of the
Indian market. Building on this strong foundation of local manufacturing and
deeper market integration, Liebherr is now accelerating its focus on innovation
tailored for Indian households.

At
the forefront of its innovation journey is the FreshBreeze range, launched in
August 2025, which has been well received by consumers for redefining freshness
in refrigeration. Designed to go beyond conventional cooling, the technology
releases a fine, cool mist into the vegetable compartment, helping maintain
optimal humidity levels and ensuring that leafy vegetables and fruits retain
their natural moisture, texture, and freshness for longer durations. Initially
introduced in 420 L and 316 L capacities, the range has now been expanded with
two additional volume options – 400L and 380L, strengthening its appeal across
a wider set of households.

Kapil
Agarwal, Managing Director – Sales, Liebherr Appliances India, said,
“India remains a key growth market for us, and our continued investments—from
local manufacturing in Ch.Sambhaji Nagar to expanding our FreshBreeze
range—reflect our long-term commitment to the country. With FreshBreeze, we are
reimagining refrigeration by going beyond conventional cooling to actively
preserve freshness, aligned with the evolving needs of Indian households. The
strong consumer response encourages us to further strengthen our portfolio with
solutions that combine German engineering with deep local insights.”

In
the last few years, Liebherr Appliances India has consistently focused on
developing innovations tailored to Indian lifestyles and usage patterns.
Features such as Handsfree Opening technology in single-door refrigerators
allow consumers to open the refrigerator door with a foot paddle even when
hands are full, while the Hot to Cool feature in double-door models allows
consumers to directly store freshly boiled milk inside the refrigerator for 3X
rapid cooling with no compromises. Complementing this are ergonomically
designed lever handles that ensure ease of use where by heavy vaccume doors
weighing ~10Kgs can be opened effortlessely even with single finger, reflecting
the brand’s commitment to intuitive and user-friendly design. This weight
includes not just the door structure (approximately 4Kgs) but also the typical
load carried within the door compartments, such as bottles and other stored
items, demonstrating ease of operation even under everyday usage conditions.

With
the FreshBreeze range, Liebherr moves beyond the idea of refrigeration as mere
storage, towards creating an environment that actively preserves
freshness—bringing consumers closer to the experience of market-fresh food
within their homes.

As
Liebherr Appliances India continues to expand its portfolio and strengthen its
presence in the country, it remains committed to delivering high-performance
refrigeration solutions that are thoughtfully engineered for Indian consumers.

<title>80% Investors Begin Wealth Creation Before Securing Insurance, Revealing Critical Protection Gap: BlissMoney Insights</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru, India – 28th
April : 2026 A majority of aﬄuent investors continue to prioritize wealth
creation over risk protection, leading to signiﬁcant gaps in ﬁnancial security,
according to insights shared by a mutual fund distribution platform, BlissMoney Fintech Pvt. Ltd.

An internal analysis by
BlissMoney found that nearly 80% of clients began their investment journey
before securing adequate insurance coverage, indicating a widespread tendency
to focus on returns before establishing a ﬁnancial safety net. The ﬁndings also
revealed that 80% of clients rely primarily on employer-provided insurance,
which may not be suﬃcient for long-term ﬁnancial security. Corporate insurance
policies are typically limited in coverage, non-portable, and contingent on
employment status, exposing individuals and families to potential ﬁnancial risk
during job transitions or unforeseen life events.

Behavioural
economists describe this tendency as the illusion of coverage, a deeply human
inclination to mistake proximity to a safety net for the possession of one.
While employer-provided insurance creates a sense of security, it often leaves
individuals structurally exposed.

“Many
investors focus on building assets without ﬁrst securing the foundation that
protects those assets,” said Rajesh Kumar, Founder and CEO, BlissMoney Fintech
Pvt. Ltd. “Without adequate protection, even well-constructed portfolios remain
exposed to unforeseen risks.”

What
makes this pattern persistent is not a lack of awareness, but optimism. The
same mindset that enables individuals to take long-term investment bets also
leads them to defer protection. Returns are visible and compounding is
compelling, while insurance is often viewed as a product one hopes never to
use. As a result, it gets postponed until the moment it can no longer be
deferred. The analysis further highlighted that even among ﬁnancially active
clients, 2% currently have no insurance coverage whatsoever. While this may
appear marginal, it points to a deeper concern that even individuals who are
actively engaging with their ﬁnances and making deliberate investment decisions
may still lack basic protection.

BlissMoney emphasized
that insurance should not be treated as a parallel product category, but as the
starting point for any wealth-building strategy. Adequate protection, including
life and health coverage along with emergency preparedness, forms the base upon
which sustainable long-term investments can be built. Without this foundation,
portfolios remain vulnerable to disruption.

With
rising healthcare costs, increasing market volatility, and evolving employment
dynamics, the importance of insurance as a risk management tool is becoming
more pronounced, particularly for aﬄuent investors with higher ﬁnancial
responsibilities.

“True wealth is not just about accumulation,
but about protection and continuity,” added Kumar. “A disciplined approach
begins with safeguarding income and family security before pursuing growth
opportunities.”

<title>No Maps. No Science. Just Instinct: 43,000&#45;Year&#45;Old Mining Site Redefines Origins of Human Enterprise</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/no-maps-no-science-just-instinct-43000-year-old-mining-site-redefines-origins-of-human-enterprise</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/no-maps-no-science-just-instinct-43000-year-old-mining-site-redefines-origins-of-human-enterprise</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Delhi,
India :  In a discovery that reshapes our
understanding of early human capability and economic behavior, archaeological
evidence from Ngwenya Mine in the western highlands of Eswatini
suggests that humans were practicing organized mining as early as 43,000 years
ago.

At
the heart of this revelation lies the Lion Cavern, where prehistoric
communities deliberately excavated hematite—an iron-rich mineral used to
produce red ochre. This activity predates previously understood timelines of
structured resource extraction, pointing to a far earlier origin of organized
human enterprise.

A
Defining Human Decision

Long
before formal science, maps, or advanced tools, early humans made a pivotal
decision—to dig beneath the surface in search of value.

“Mining
did not begin with tools—it began with judgment,” says Pavan Kaushik,
Corporate Communication &amp; Reputation Advisor and author of We All Have
Zinc in Our Lives.

“Someone
looked at an ordinary rock face and made a non-obvious decision—that something
valuable lay within. That leap—from observation to belief—is the foundation of
every resource-driven industry today.”

Beyond
Survival: The Role of Ochre

The
extracted hematite was processed into red ochre, a pigment widely used in
prehistoric societies for body adornment, cave art, rituals, and possibly
burial practices.

What
makes this significant is that ochre was not essential for immediate survival.

“The
extraction of ochre marks a shift from survival to symbolic value,” Kaushik
explains. “It reflects an early transition from utility to identity—arguably
one of the most defining moments in human evolution.”

Early
Technology, Structured Thinking

Despite
the absence of modern tools, prehistoric miners used hammerstones and
rudimentary picks to extract material with surprising consistency.

This
process required:

●       
Site selection

●       
Material understanding

●       
Repetition and refinement

●       
Knowledge transfer

“What
we see is not primitive activity—it is structured execution,” Kaushik notes.
“This is early process engineering. Technology, at its core, is not
complexity—it is consistency.”

Risk
and Resilience in the Unknown

Mining
conditions at the time were extreme—dark, confined spaces, no safety systems,
and complete uncertainty.

Yet,
early humans continued.

“This
reflects a remarkable risk appetite,” Kaushik adds. “Even in high-risk
environments, there was a willingness to act on belief—something that continues
to define leadership in modern industries.”

The
Birth of Economic Thinking

Evidence
suggests that ochre was transported beyond its extraction site, indicating
early forms of exchange and interaction.

“The
moment a material moves beyond its origin, a system begins to form,” Kaushik
explains. “You see the early architecture of supply chains—origin, demand,
movement, and usage.”

This
positions Ngwenya not just as a mining site, but as one of the earliest indicators
of organized economic behavior.

From
Pigment to Progress

Over
millennia, the understanding of minerals evolved—from pigments like ochre to
metals such as iron, which would go on to shape agriculture, infrastructure,
and civilization itself.

Yet,
the foundation remains unchanged:
the decision to explore what lies beneath.

A
Timeless Human Instinct

While
modern mining relies on data, automation, and advanced technology, its core
principle remains deeply human.

“Every
mine still begins with belief,” Kaushik says. “Technology enhances the process,
but it does not replace instinct.”

About
the Insight

This
perspective is part of ongoing thought leadership by Pavan Kaushik, who
works closely with promoters and CXOs across mining, metals, and infrastructure
sectors, focusing on strategic communication and reputation advisory. ]]></description>

<title>India’s Defence Forces Have a Uniform Problem. Uniformer Is Solving It</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-defence-forces-have-a-uniform-problem-uniformer-is-solving-it</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-defence-forces-have-a-uniform-problem-uniformer-is-solving-it</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Kanpur, April 2026 : Uniformer,
India’s institutional uniform brand under Mahavir Spinfab Pvt. Ltd., marks one
year of its landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Indian Coast
Guard — and is signalling its next chapter of growth. In the very first month
of the MOU signed in April 2025, Uniformer delivered 3,000 uniforms on time and
to specification. A year later, the brand has several more MOUs in active
process across the defence, police and paramilitary space.

The Coast Guard
partnership was Uniformer’s first formal entry into institutional defence
procurement — a sector long plagued by fragmented vendors, inconsistent quality
and the absence of an organised player at scale. The successful delivery of
that first order validated Uniformer’s factory-direct manufacturing model, bulk
customisation capabilities and end-to-end supply chain as genuinely fit for the
demands of India’s uniformed services.

Uniformer is now
actively pursuing institutional partnerships across central armed police
forces, state police departments and paramilitary organisations, with the
ambition of becoming India’s most trusted and standardised uniform supplier to
the security establishment.

Leadership Statement

“The
Indian Coast Guard MOU was our first step, and it proved that the Uniformer
model works at scale. But it is only the beginning. We currently have several
MOUs in active process across the defence, police and paramilitary space, and
announcements are coming. Our larger mission is to bring genuine uniformity to
India’s uniform procurement — standardised quality, reliable supply, organised
delivery — across every force in the country. This is a deeply unorganised
market and we intend to change that, one institution at a time.”

— Rakesh
Jain, Director, Mahavir Spinfab Pvt. Ltd.

About Uniformer

Uniformer is a uniform
brand by Mahavir Spinfab Pvt. Ltd., a Kanpur-based textile manufacturing
company. The brand serves defence, paramilitary, police, hospitality,
healthcare, industrial and salon sectors with factory-direct uniforms, bulk
customisation and pan-India delivery. Uniformer is the Official Uniform Partner
of the Indian Coast Guard and is available on Amazon and Blinkit.

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, April 2026: Entrepreneurs across India now have a
dedicated platform to access practical, expert-led business insights. The Small
Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), in collaboration with Prasar
Bharati, has launched ‘SIDBI MSME Samvaad’- a knowledge-driven television
programme designed to support MSMEs in making informed and confident business
decisions.

As
India advances towards its vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, MSMEs continue to play
a pivotal role in driving employment, innovation, and exports. At the same
time, challenges such as access to timely finance, regulatory compliance,
digital adoption, and market expansion remain critical. ‘MSME Samvaad’
addresses these realities through practical, solution-oriented discussions
tailored to the needs of entrepreneurs.

Real
Insights. Real Business Impact.

Each
episode brings forward real-life case studies that demonstrate how MSMEs are
overcoming challenges and scaling effectively. From optimising working capital
through TReDS platforms to achieving significant growth by strengthening cash
flow management, leveraging digital lending, and expanding market linkages- the
programme highlights strategies that are practical, relevant, and replicable.

Covering
key themes such as access to finance, compliance, innovation, sustainability,
digital transformation, and enterprise growth, the programme features insights
from SIDBI officials, policymakers, industry experts, and successful
entrepreneurs- offering clarity on decisions that directly impact business
performance.

Engage.
Learn. Grow.

A
distinctive feature of ‘MSME Samvaad’ is its interactive “Ask the Expert”
segment, where viewers can submit their queries and receive guidance from
domain experts. This ensures the programme remains closely aligned with
real-world business challenges faced by MSMEs.

Each
episode delivers actionable insights you can apply immediately- whether it’s
identifying new financing avenues, improving operational efficiency, or
unlocking new growth opportunities. For instance, one episode may highlights
how a manufacturing MSME reduced its working capital cycle by using TReDS
platforms for invoice discounting, while another may showcase how a small
enterprise scaled its turnover from ₹20 crore to over ₹100 crore by improving
cash flow management, adopting digital lending solutions, and strengthening
market access.

With
‘MSME Samvaad’, SIDBI extends its role beyond financial support to fostering a
more informed, empowered, and resilient MSME ecosystem-enabling entrepreneurs
to navigate challenges and accelerate growth with confidence.

The
programme airs every second and fourth Saturday at 7:00 PM on Doordarshan
National and regional channels, ensuring wide accessibility across the country
- making it a must-watch for MSMEs seeking timely and actionable guidance. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

GURUGRAM,
INDIA  : Unlimit, the global financial
infrastructure for the borderless economy, has partnered with Brevistay to
rebuild the financial nervous system for India’s high-velocity travel market.
By plugging into Unlimit’s unified programmable layer, Brevistay is eliminating
the structural friction of India’s fragmented payment landscape, gaining
instant, frictionless access to UPI and global card networks through a singular
infrastructure integration.

In a unique
global paradox, financial infrastructure is rapidly consolidating into primary
layers, yet consumer payment methods are becoming more hyper-localised and
fragmented than ever. For a high-frequency platform like Brevistay, where
micro-stays demand micro-precision, the challenge is maintaining global-standard
reliability across these fragmented local rails. Unlimit solves this by
abstracting the complexity of the Indian ecosystem into a high-octane operating
layer, turning geographical and technical barriers into a seamless stream of
value.

“For
Brevistay, payments are not a service; they are the critical circulatory system
of their business,” said Irene Skrynova, CEO, Global Payments at Unlimit.
“By providing Brevistay access to our primary financial infrastructure, we are
enabling scale across borders without the operational debt of fragmented
systems.”

Brevistay’s
model, offering flexible, on-demand room bookings, requires a payment
experience that matches the speed of the modern traveller. Unlimit’s
architecture ensures that time-to-market collapses from months to configuration
time, allowing Brevistay to operate with the precision of a global leader while
mastering the local friction of the Indian market.

“Payments
must move at the speed of the booking journey itself,” said Nikhil Kumar
Pathak, CTO &amp; Co-Founder at Brevistay. “Unlimit provides the powerful
infrastructure rails we need to simplify India’s payment complexity. They have
given us the architectural freedom to scale without being held back by the
limitations of legacy financial stacks.”

As
Brevistay prepares for its next phase of expansion, Unlimit’s hard-won
regulatory depth and global license portfolio ensure that international growth
is no longer a matter of geography, but a matter of code.

About
Brevistay
Brevistay is redefining the way India books hotel rooms by introducing the
concept of micro-stays—allowing travelers to reserve premium hotel spaces for
just a few hours instead of an entire night. Designed for modern, on-the-go
consumers, the platform caters to a wide range of needs, from business meetings
and transit layovers to leisure breaks and couple-friendly stays. By combining
flexibility, affordability, and a curated network of trusted hotel partners,
Brevistay is unlocking unused hotel inventory while delivering a smarter, more
efficient hospitality experience for today’s time-conscious traveler.

About
Unlimit

Unlimit is
the global financial infrastructure for the borderless agentic economy.
Designed to bridge the gap between fragmented local markets and the future of
autonomous commerce, Unlimit provides the programmable operating layer for the
world’s most ambitious businesses.

Through an
integrated technology stack, the platform unifies global payment acceptance,
programmable financial accounts, and digital asset rails into a singular financial
layer. By mapping hyper-local payment ecosystems directly into its
architecture, Unlimit enables businesses to move value and settle transactions
instantly across continents.

Built on
decades of hard-won regulatory depth and an extensive global license portfolio,
the platform provides direct access to a massive global infrastructure. With
major hubs in London, San Francisco, Singapore, São Paulo, and Mexico City,
Unlimit is building the infrastructure that makes global expansion a matter of
code, not geography.

<description><![CDATA[  April
2026, INDIA - Rareism marks its seventh year as a
reflection of sustained design thinking rather than a singular moment in time.
From The House of Rare, the brand has evolved steadily, guided by an instinct
for fluidity, restraint, and an understanding of the modern woman that goes
beyond seasonal narratives. Over the years, Rareism has established a distinct
design language, one defined by emphasis on wearability without compromise. It
is this consistency of intent that continues to shape the brand, allowing it to
remain relevant while never being transient.

The
Rareism Wardrobe, Seven years on

Rareism
continues to champion a philosophy rooted in ease, expression, and quiet
confidence. Designed for the free-spirited woman who values substance over
show, the brand reimagines relaxed sophistication through silhouettes that move
with purpose, colours that speak without excess, and craftsmanship that stands
the test of time.

From

<title>Vector Consulting Group Welcomes 26 Summer Interns from India’s Leading B&#45;Schools</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/vector-consulting-group-welcomes-26-summer-interns-from-indias-leading-b-schools</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/vector-consulting-group-welcomes-26-summer-interns-from-indias-leading-b-schools</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Vector Consulting Group
has onboarded 26 Management Summer Interns from IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta,
IIM Lucknow, IIM Indore, and XLRI Jamshedpur. The intake reflects the firm’s
continued engagement with top campuses and its focus on building a strong pipeline
of consulting talent.

At Vector, the internship
experience is rooted in groundwork and real exposure. Interns are not confined
to the headquarters or limited to internal assignments. Instead, they work on
live projects, where they engage directly with business challenges and see how
sustainable solutions are designed from first principles and implemented on the
ground. The intent is to give them a clear, unfiltered view of implementation
consulting as a career, beyond presentations and frameworks.

The firm places strong
emphasis on preparing interns for long-term roles. Through close guidance,
regular feedback, and hands-on involvement in execution, Vector aims to
identify and extend Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) to a significant portion of the
group. The focus remains on helping interns build practical understanding, take
ownership, and contribute meaningfully during their time with the firm.

Commenting on the
development, Sayan Chakrabarty, CHRO, Vector Consulting Group, said:

&quot;We are pleased to
welcome this group of interns to Vector. What matters to us is that they
experience consulting as it actually is. That means stepping into client
environments, understanding problems at close quarters, and being part of
execution, not just analysis. We spend time guiding them through this journey
so they can see if this is a path they want to pursue. Our goal is to identify
and nurture people who thrive in this setting and bring them back as full-time
consultants through our PPO programme.”

<title>Jain Housing: A Brand Built by Real Customers, Not Celebrities</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/jain-housing-a-brand-built-by-real-customers-not-celebrities</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/jain-housing-a-brand-built-by-real-customers-not-celebrities</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Chennai,
April 2026 : In Chennai&#039;s competitive real estate market,
where developers compete aggressively for buyer attention through celebrity
endorsements and high-budget campaigns, Jain Housing has chosen a different
path, one that has proven far more enduring.

For
over 35 years, Jain Housing has built its
reputation not on borrowed fame, but on the honest voices of the families it
has served. With more than 21,000 families housed across Chennai, the brand&#039;s
most powerful spokesperson has never been a celebrity. It has always been a
real homeowner with a real story.

Real
Customers. Real Credibility.

In
a city where homebuyers research extensively before committing, good customer reviews in Chennai carry
extraordinary weight. A detailed, specific account from a genuine resident
describing their purchase journey, possession experience, and life inside a
Jain Housing community influences buying decisions in ways that no
advertisement can match.

Jain
Housing&#039;s customer reviews across platforms reflect a consistency that is
difficult to manufacture: honest accounts spanning multiple years and dozens of
projects, written by buyers across different income segments and life stages.
The recurring themes are trust, quality, and a builder that remains accountable
long after the sale is closed.

What
Sets Jain Housing Apart as a Real Estate Builder in Chennai

As
a real estate builder in Chennai
with over three decades of active project delivery, Jain Housing has developed
a reputation built on operational standards rather than marketing messages.

Transparent
sales conversations where project limitations are disclosed honestly.
Construction quality that holds up years after possession. Post-possession
service that treats residents as long-term relationships. These commitments,
maintained consistently across 21,000+ families, have turned satisfied buyers
into voluntary brand advocates recommending Jain Housing to colleagues,
referring family members to new projects, and sharing their experiences
publicly without any prompting.

A
Legacy Written by Homeowners

While
trends in real estate marketing will continue to shift from print to digital,
from celebrities to influencers, Jain Housing&#039;s brand foundation remains
unchanged. It is written not by marketing teams, but by the families who chose
this builder, moved into their homes, and found that the promise made during
the sale was the promise delivered at possession.

In
Chennai&#039;s real estate market, that kind of trust is rare. For Jain Housing, it
has been the standard for 35 years.

<description><![CDATA[ 28th
April 2026, Mumbai, Maharashtra : Smart Home Expo 2026 organised by Messe
Frankfurt Trade Fairs India and World Media &amp; Expo LLP opened today at the
Jio World Convention Centre, reflecting the growing depth and maturity of
India’s smart living ecosystem.

Demand
is being driven across the value chain from real estate developers integrating
automation and energy-efficient systems offering security and comfort into new
projects, to architects and interior designers prioritising seamless,
design-led technology and consumers increasingly seeking connected, secure and
experience-driven homes. At the same time, as India advances towards smarter
infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities, the market is opening
significant opportunities for both domestic production and global
collaborations. 

The show was
inaugurated in the presence of distinguished dignitaries, which included:

●     
CHIEF GUEST - Mr
Jimmy Mistry, Chairman, Della Group who noted: 

●       
Ar Jignesh Modi, President, Indian Institute
of Interior Design (IIID) &amp; Principal Architect at Jignesh Modi &amp;
Associates

●       
Ms Wendy Griffiths, Senior Vice President
Membership &amp; Global Development at (CEDIA) Custom Electronic Design and
Installation Association

●       
Mr Ketan Sheth, Chairperson, Indian Institute
of Interior Design, Mumbai Chapter (IIID) &amp; Founder of Goldmine Project
Consultant

●       
Mr Pushkar Gokhale, Executive Vice President
&amp; Business Head, Godrej Enterprises Group

(AVP), Havells India

●       
Mr Sumant Bhatia, General Manager, Havells
India

●       
Mr Raj Manek, Executive Director &amp; Board
Member, Messe Frankfurt Asia Holdings Ltd

●       
Mr Winston Pereira, Executive Director, Messe
Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt Ltd 

Speaking at the
inauguration, Chief Guest Mr Jimmy Mistry, Chairman, Della Group, noted:
“Technology and automation are interwoven for human-centric design, and what is
today’s luxury is going to be tomorrow’s necessity. This is only the beginning,
with mass adoption of automation now reaching rural India. India is very good
at leapfrogging, and no manufacturers can afford to overlook India as we move
rapidly at scale. Smart Home Expo is far bigger than imagined and is only going
to grow exponentially. It is unfair to judge it by footfalls, as the
transactions that will happen through this be far more significant. I think
this industry is poised for 20%–25% YoY growth and will continue to scale
ahead.”

Commenting
on the opening, Mr Sandeep Singh, Director, Smart Home Expo, shared: Smart Home
Expo has evolved into a comprehensive platform that reflects how technology,
design and user experience are converging in the smart living space. The strong
industry participation this year underscores the growing demand for integrated,
future-ready solutions in India.”

Adding
to this Mr Raj Manek, Executive Director &amp; Board Member, Messe Frankfurt
Asia Holdings Ltd, noted: “India represents one of the fastest-growing markets
for smart home technologies globally, driven by rapid urbanisation and digital
adoption. Smart Home Expo 2026 highlights this momentum by bringing together
global innovation and domestic expertise under one roof.”

The
convergence of the industry where integrated automation systems, intelligent
lighting, immersive AV and smart security solutions highlight the shift towards
fully connected, future ready living environments. Bringing together 450+
brands and over 8,000 products, the expo highlights the rapid evolution of
India’s smart living ecosystem across home automation, lighting, security and
high-end audio-visual solutions. Participation from global markets such as
Belgium, China, Germany, United Kingdom, the United States of America,
Switzerland and Turkey further underscores India’s growing importance as a
high-growth destination for smart home technologies. 

The
show floor features a wide spectrum of innovations – from integrated control
systems and KNX-based automation to immersive AV experiences, intelligent
lighting and energy management solutions. A key focus this year is the shift
towards seamless, design-led and invisible technology, where smart systems are
embedded into the architecture of homes, enhancing comfort, efficiency and user
experience without compromising aesthetics.

The
show also features dedicated experience zones, including the KNX-pavilion and
AV demo rooms, allowing visitors to engage with real -world applications of
smart living – cinematic home theatres to fully automated living environments.

Supported
by leading industry bodies such as the CEDIA and Indian institute of Interior
Designers, Smart Home Expo 2026 continues to serve as a vital platform for
knowledge exchange, collaboration and business opportunities across the
architecture, interior design and technology communities.

With
a strong lineup of partners and curated showcase of next-generation products,
the 2026 edition sets the tone for the future of connected living in India,
where innovation, design and functionality come together to shape smarter homes.

<title>JRST Technology &#45; led Silicon Ingot Technology completes first pilot batch in Nagpur, marking a major step for Maharashtra’s first silicon ingot manufacturing unit</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/jrst-technology-led-silicon-ingot-technology-completes-first-pilot-batch-in-nagpur-marking-a-major-step-for-maharashtras-first-silicon-ingot-manufacturing-unit</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/jrst-technology-led-silicon-ingot-technology-completes-first-pilot-batch-in-nagpur-marking-a-major-step-for-maharashtras-first-silicon-ingot-manufacturing-unit</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Nagpur, Maharashtra, India — April 28, 2026 : Silicon Ingot Technology, led by JRST Technology, has successfully completed
its first pilot batch in Nagpur under the supervision of CTO Ahmed Ali Taherali
Siyahiwala. The milestone marks a significant step in establishing
Maharashtra’s first silicon ingot manufacturing unit and strengthens India’s
growing capabilities in semiconductor and solar manufacturing.

The development aligns with India’s broader
industrial vision under Narendra Modi’s “Make in India” initiative,
highlighting the country’s push toward self-reliance and advanced
manufacturing.

Through this initiative, JRST Technology and
Silicon Ingot Technology aim to contribute to India’s self-reliance, industrial
depth, and long-term manufacturing leadership in strategically important
sectors.

“This first pilot batch
validates the core engineering of our silicon ingot lines—from furnace design
to process control,” said Siyahiwala. “It demonstrates that India can build and
operate high-precision CZ-based production systems that meet global standards.”

The
Nagpur facility is designed to serve both semiconductor and solar industries,
including applications in TOPCon and Mono PERC technologies. It also enables
critical in-house value addition through tariff transformation (CTH 2804 61 00
to 3818 00 10), strengthening domestic processing capability while reducing
reliance on imports.

A key strategic advantage of the project is
its ability to support DCR-compliant cell manufacturing, helping Indian
manufacturers align with domestic-content requirements while building a
stronger homegrown supply chain. “By enabling DCR-compliant cell manufacturing,
the facility supports the policy direction set by the Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy (MNRE) to promote domestic manufacturing in India’s solar
value chain.”

Asif
Rangoonwala, Director,

“My background in
mining, geology and industrial operations tells me this is the right time to
anchor a high-purity, high-volume ingot base in India.”

JRST
Technology played the lead role in the turnkey setup of Silicon Ingot
Technology, bringing its industry experience to bear across planning,
execution, sourcing, integration, and operational readiness. JRST Technology’s
service focus includes turnkey silicon ingot plant setup, MCG/CZ

machine supply, consumables and spares, and
bespoke consulting for the semiconductor and solar manufacturing sectors
further adding institutional and academic operations.

The
company’s stated ambition is to serve the semiconductor and DCR solar
industries with focused, specialized support, helping meet Indian manufacturing
demand through technical execution and customized consulting. JRST Technology
also aims to demonstrate globally what India can achieve through technology,
precision manufacturing, and disciplined industrial delivery under the Make in
India framework.

JRST
Technology, in parallel, aims to establish itself as a pioneer in this industry
in India and to work with major industry players as the project grows.

Founders of the company
emphasized the broader significance of the achievement.

Tayeb Tahir Ali noted that the pilot batch
reflects India’s growing ability to develop advanced silicon manufacturing
capabilities domestically for both solar and semiconductor sectors.

Mohammed
Saif Zaveri added that the project demonstrates what disciplined execution and
engineering excellence in India can achieve, calling it a step toward building
a globally relevant manufacturing ecosystem.

Harsh
Maloo highlighted the company’s focus on supporting domestic industry, reducing
import dependence, and creating a scalable base for high-value silicon
manufacturing.

About
Silicon Ingot Technology

Silicon Ingot
Technology is expected to be ready to serve from June 2026, with a long-term
target of reaching at least 5 GW capacity by June 2028. The company states that
its mission is to combine cutting-edge technology with sustainability to
deliver reliable, high-performance solutions for the next era of electronics
and clean innovation.

<title>Top EV Leasing Companies in India Driving the Commercial Fleet Revolution</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/top-ev-leasing-companies-in-india-driving-the-commercial-fleet-revolution</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/top-ev-leasing-companies-in-india-driving-the-commercial-fleet-revolution</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The top EV leasing companies in India,
including Drivn, MoEVing, Alt Mobility, Lithium Urban Technologies, and
Vertelo, are driving the transition to electric commercial fleets. The adoption
of electric vehicles in India’s commercial fleet sector is growing steadily,
supported by the need for cost-effective and sustainable mobility. EV leasing
is emerging as a practical approach, allowing businesses to scale without high
upfront investment. Here’s a closer look at some of the top EV leasing
companies in India shaping this shift.

Top EV Leasing Companies in India


 Drivn Transition Pvt Ltd 
 MoEVing 
 Alt Mobility 
 Lithium Urban Technologies 
 Vertelo 


Drivn Transition Pvt Ltd

As one of the top EV leasing companies in India, Drivn
specialises in electric trucks and buses, offering an asset-owning,
operating-lease model. The company purchases and owns the vehicles, then leases
them to fleet operators under long-term contracts, eliminating the need for
high upfront investment.

Fleet owners benefit from predictable
monthly payments, the flexibility to scale their operations, and corridor-based
charging infrastructure integrated directly into the lease. This makes Drivn&#039;s
offering one of the most complete EV leasing solutions available for heavy
commercial fleets in India today.

MoEVing

MoEVing is a prominent player in India&#039;s EV
leasing landscape, offering flexible leasing solutions for electric three-wheelers
and commercial cargo vehicles. Their business model is centred on making EV
adoption financially accessible for fleet operators by reducing the capital
expenditure associated with purchasing vehicles outright.

They further strengthen their offering with
tailored fleet management services, including maintenance and charging
infrastructure support, acting as an end-to-end mobility partner for businesses
transitioning to electric. With partnerships with leading EV manufacturers such
as Tata Motors, MoEVing is contributing to the broader adoption of electric
vehicles across India&#039;s logistics and delivery sectors.

Alt Mobility

Alt Mobility provides comprehensive EV
leasing solutions for the logistics and transportation sectors. Their business
model is built around a full-stack leasing and asset management approach,
bundling vehicle access, maintenance, insurance, and charging support into a
single package, allowing businesses to transition to electric without any
upfront investment.

This subscription-style structure helps
fleet operators optimise cash flow while benefiting from lower operating costs
and reduced environmental impact. Operating across 30+ cities with a network of
7,000+ charging stations and 150+ service garages, Alt Mobility stands out as one
of the top EV leasing companies in India ensuring seamless on-ground support at
scale.

Lithium Urban Technologies

Founded in 2014, Lithium Urban Technologies
is India&#039;s first 100% electric fleet operator, and one of the most established
players in the corporate EV mobility space. Their business model revolves
around owning and operating fully electric vehicle fleets and providing them to
corporate clients on a fixed monthly or per-trip lease basis, with dedicated
charging infrastructure and trained drivers included.

Operating across 15+ cities in India, their
technology platform covers telemetry, fleet scheduling, rostering, and
analytics-based optimisation, making the entire fleet management experience
seamless for businesses.

Vertelo

Vertelo is a technology-driven EV leasing
platform providing solutions for both commercial vehicle and passenger
transport fleets. Their business model combines affordable leasing with
integrated services, covering charging infrastructure, energy management, fleet
management, and end-of-life asset management, giving fleet owners everything
they need to transition to electric with minimal risk.

Backed by Macquarie Asset Management with a
$1.5 billion investment target, Vertelo is one of the most well-capitalised
platforms among the top EV leasing companies in India. Over its planned
ten-year period, Vertelo aims to deliver an estimated lifetime reduction of
around 9.5 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions.

To Conclude

The top EV leasing companies in India, such
as Drivn, MoEVing, Alt Mobility, Lithium Urban Technologies, and Vertelo, are
making fleet electrification accessible and scalable. Each offers a unique
model, but the common trend is clear: leasing is becoming the most effective
path to electric adoption. With the Indian EV leasing market expected to grow
from USD 1.19 billion in 2025 to USD 5.33 billion by 2030, businesses that
adopt EV
leasing solutions now will lead the way in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is leasing an EV a good option?

Yes. Leasing means no high upfront cost;
you simply pay a fixed monthly amount and get the vehicle, maintenance, and
charging support bundled in. It’s a practical and financially smart way to go
electric, especially for businesses managing multiple vehicles.

What happens to EV after 8 years?

After 8 years, the battery may be
repurposed for energy storage, and the vehicle is either refurbished or
recycled. When you lease, this is the leasing company’s responsibility, not
yours, which is one less thing to worry about.

What are the advantages of leasing an
electric vehicle in India?

Leasing an EV in India, through companies
like Drivn, means lower running costs, no large upfront investment, and
services like maintenance and charging bundled into one monthly payment.
Additionally, it offers flexibility to upgrade to newer models, making it a
smart, long-term choice for businesses looking to go green without the
financial strain.

<description><![CDATA[  Liebherr showcases cutting-edge
refrigeration design and innovation at Milan Design Week 2026

Mumbai... April 27, 2026 : Liebherr Appliances

2026 with the unveiling of its exclusive Experience Showroom—an immersive space
that brought together advanced refrigeration technologies and refined
aesthetics under the theme “Moments to savour.”

Located in the heart of Milan, the temporary showroom served
as a compelling expression of Liebherr’s philosophy—where precision engineering
meets contemporary design to elevate everyday living. Through a curated
portfolio of fully integrated, freestanding, and compact solutions, the brand
demonstrated how refrigeration is evolving into a seamless, design-led element
of modern kitchens.

Design Week reflects Liebherr’s global commitment to design excellence and
technological innovation. For us in India, this is a strong inspiration as the

witnessing a clear shift in consumer preferences—from standalone appliances to
seamless, built-in solutions that complement modern kitchen aesthetics while
delivering superior performance.”

enhanced energy efficiency, and refined elements such as LightTower
illumination and SmartSteel interiors. The integration of advanced technologies
like VarioTemp, NoFrost, IceMaker, and SmartDevice connectivity further

storage and ergonomic freezer systems with NoFrost technology, these solutions

<title>&amp;apos;The Road Just Got Tastier&amp;apos;: IKF Brings Malpani’s Bakelite to Life</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-road-just-got-tastier-ikf-brings-malpanis-bakelite-to-life</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-road-just-got-tastier-ikf-brings-malpanis-bakelite-to-life</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune, India : For generations, the crunch of a Malpani cream roll and
khaari have been the heart of Pune’s tea-time. Now, “that legendary taste” is
officially taking its first road trip. On April 10, 2026, Malpani
officially inaugurated its first-of-its-kind highway outlet, strategically
designed to cater to the thousands of travelers who already consider these
snacks their favorite travel companions.

Turning Consumer Insight into a Pit-Stop Reality

The inspiration for the outlet didn&#039;t come from a
boardroom, but from the customers themselves. Malpani noticed a recurring
trend: travelers were &quot;stocking up&quot; on their products (including
muthri, toast, and mawa cake) before heading out of the city.

Recognizing a gap in the market for high-quality,
trusted dry bakery goods on long-distance routes, Malpani sought to create a
dedicated destination that combined convenience with the brand&#039;s long-standing
heritage.

The Architecture of an Experience

To bring this vision to life, Malpani partnered with
IKF, the Best Digital Marketing Agency in Pune. Together, they reimagined the outlet as more than just
a point of sale, crafting a brand journey driven by strategic storytelling,
integrated branding, and IKF’s expertise in building customer experiences that
gives top recall value.

The new outlet features a meticulously planned
environment designed to capture attention at high speeds and retain it through
storytelling:

●      High-Visibility Branding: From strategic poll posts for long-distance spotting to
vibrant storefront signage, the outlet is designed for maximum &quot;stopping
power.&quot; 

●      The Mascot and Legacy Wall: To bridge the gap between Malpani’s rich history and
its modern expansion, the store features a &quot;Legacy Wall&quot; documenting
the brand&#039;s journey, alongside a new, friendly mascot that serves as a memorable
face for the next generation of snackers. 

●     
Strategic
Identity: Every color and design element
was curated to reflect the warmth of a traditional bakery while meeting the
sleek standards of modern retail. 

A New Benchmark for Retail

The response since the launch has been immediate.
Travelers have noted the ease of access and the comfort of finding a familiar,
quality-controlled brand amidst the unpredictability of highway dining.

&quot;This outlet is more than a store; it’s a milestone
in our journey. It’s about being where our customers need us most,&quot; says
the Malpani team.

By merging Malpani’s product excellence with IKF’s
expertise in integrated branding and on-ground execution, the project
demonstrates how traditional brands can successfully evolve into
experience-driven retail powerhouses.

As Malpani continues to grow, this highway outlet stands
as a testament to the power of insight-led design, ensuring that no matter how
far you travel, a taste of home is never too far away.

About the Visionaries Behind the Project

This transformation was powered by IKF, a
powerhouse with over 25 years of excellence in the industry. Renowned
and widely recognized as one of the Best Website Development Company in Pune, IKF specializes in building future-ready brand
identities. By blending a quarter-century of legacy with cutting-edge digital
strategies, IKF continues to help iconic brands like Malpani bridge the gap
between tradition and modern retail innovation.

<title>Campaign&#45;Based Marketing Can Stagnate Businesses&#45; BrandLoom Warns</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/campaign-based-marketing-can-stagnate-businesses-brandloom-warns</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/campaign-based-marketing-can-stagnate-businesses-brandloom-warns</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

New Delhi, India — April 27, 2026 : Businesses
still running on episodic, campaign-oriented marketing are risking stagnation
as the market moves toward continuous, compounding Growth Architecture models,
warns BrandLoom, a growth-focused
branding and digital consulting firm.

The company defines Growth Architecture as a system that
ties every marketing initiative directly to revenue outcomes, and says that their
observation comes on the back of the shifts they are noticing in the way
leading global companies are now doing their marketing.

“Campaigns deliver bursts. Growth architecture delivers
compounding momentum- and that is something we are seeing global market leaders
embrace,” said Avinash Chandra, Founder and CEO of BrandLoom.

“When marketing is designed as a system, each initiative
reinforces the next, creating consistent impact and measurable business
outcomes.”

How Organizations Should Respond to the Shift- According to
BrandLoom

According to BrandLoom, the transition from campaign
thinking to Growth Architecture requires more than a change in tactics — it
demands a structural reset.

●     
BrandLoom recommends that
organizations begin by auditing their existing marketing ecosystem. 

●     
From there, the priority should be
integration — unifying CRM, analytics, and advertising infrastructure into a
single, coherent system that tracks engagement, pipeline contribution, and
revenue attribution in real time. 

●     
Finally, organizations need to
establish executive-level visibility into marketing performance — not vanity
metrics, but contribution margins, customer acquisition cost, and lifetime
value. 

Three
Pillars of Growth Architecture

Avinash says that companies should embrace the 3-pillared
AIM (Alignment-Integration-Momentum) Growth Architecture framework, which it
has proven beneficial for its clients:

1. Strategic Alignment Across Business Objectives

Marketing initiatives are mapped directly to revenue
outcomes, from customer acquisition cost (CAC) to lifetime value (LTV) and
contribution margins. BrandLoom starts by auditing the customer journey and
identifying opportunities where marketing can create measurable business
impact. This ensures every campaign or content asset contributes to the broader
growth engine rather than short-term spikes.

2. Integrated Marketing Systems

Rather than operating in silos, BrandLoom unifies CRM,
analytics, advertising platforms, and content ecosystems. This integration
creates a cohesive infrastructure that tracks engagement, pipeline
contribution, and revenue attribution in real time. Disconnected systems, which
often hinder campaign performance, are replaced with a continuous, scalable
framework.

3. Compounding Momentum and Performance Visibility

Unlike traditional campaigns that start and stop, BrandLoom
designs marketing efforts to reinforce one another over time. Creative assets,
performance campaigns, and content initiatives build on past insights,
generating cumulative impact across the customer journey.

Leadership teams receive dashboards showing multi-touch
attribution, contribution margins, CAC, and LTV, ensuring every investment is
tied to measurable growth.

A Leadership-Level Perspective on Marketing

BrandLoom emphasizes that Growth Architecture is not just a
tactical change; it requires leadership-level decisions on structure,
accountability, and system design.

Organizations that implement Growth Architecture demonstrate
measurable impact, structural alignment, and the ability to scale growth
predictably.

“Those who adopt growth as a system gain clarity,
consistency, and measurable advantage. Growth Architecture transforms marketing
from a cost-center activity into a driver of sustained business performance”,
Avinash said.

About BrandLoom

BrandLoom is a strategic
branding and digital consulting firm
that specializes in growth architecture, revenue alignment, and category
leadership. The firm partners with growth-stage and enterprise organizations to
design integrated marketing systems that generate measurable, compounding
growth. By combining proprietary frameworks, integrated data infrastructure,
and systemized execution, BrandLoom positions marketing as a strategic driver

help professionals build next-generation intelligent systems with real-world
applications.&quot;

Avnish Singhal,
Executive Vice President, Head India &amp; APAC, Emeritus, added,
&quot;We are witnessing a major pivot in AI from chat-based LLMs towards
highly intelligent agentic systems that perform complex functions. Through this
collaboration with IITM Pravartak, we aim to empower professionals to lead in
this shift, armed with advanced skills and real-world application.&quot;

<title>UNMADHAM: KUNCHACKO BOBAN AND LIJOMOL JOSE STARRER SET FOR AUGUST 7 RELEASE; FIRST LOOK POSTER OUT NOW</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/unmadham-kunchacko-boban-and-lijomol-jose-starrer-set-for-august-7-release-first-look-poster-out-now</link>

<description><![CDATA[  T-Series
&amp; Panorama Studios Drop ‘UNMADHAM’ First Look Poster Today; Film to Hit
Theatres on August 7

The title of the much-anticipated Malayalam production,
previously referred to as Panorama Studios Production No. 3, has now been
officially revealed as UNMADHAM. The film is all set to release in theatres on
7th August 2026. Presented by T-Series and Panorama Studios,
UNMADHAM translates to “frenzy,” perfectly capturing the unsettling and intense
world the film promises to explore.

Helmed by Kiran Das, the film is headlined by Kunchacko
Boban and Lijomol Jose, bringing together two performers known for their
emotional depth and nuanced portrayals.

UNMADHAM follows a police constable battling a fragile
family life as he reopens a long-unsolved case believed to have supernatural
undertones. As he digs deeper, the mystery intensifies, blurring the line
between reality and delusion.

Presenting the film, Bhushan Kumar, Chairman and
Managing Director of T-Series said, “UNMADHAM is the kind of story that
stays with you; it’s layered with psychological intensity and emotionally
grounded narrative. The film’s unique blend of suspense with human conflict,
set against a gripping investigative backdrop is what makes it a compelling
cinematic experience, and we at T-Series are proud to back such films that are
bold in their vision and tell a story not said before.”

Speaking about the film, producer Kumar Mangat Pathak,
Chairman of Panorama Studios said, “With UNMADHAM, we wanted to create an
experience that keeps the audience constantly questioning what is real and what
isn’t. It’s a film that builds tension in a very grounded way. Collaborating
with T-Series on this slate has allowed us to scale these stories and reach a
wider audience.”

Abhishek Pathak, producer at
Panorama Studios, added, “What excited me about UNMADHAM is the tension at
its heart — a simple police constable reopening a forgotten case that slowly
begins to consume his life and sanity. At Panorama Studios, we believe in
backing stories that challenge and engage viewers, and UNMADHAM is exactly that
— gripping, unpredictable, and rooted in powerful performances.”

Known for his award-winning performances, Kunchacko Boban
said, “UNMADHAM is about the frenzy that builds quietly within a person. My
character is torn between responsibility and doubt, and as the case unfolds,
his world begins to shift in unexpected ways. It’s a role that demanded
emotional intensity and restraint at the same time.”

Speaking about the atmosphere that defines the story, Lijomol
Jose shared, “The title itself suggests a state where fear, confusion,
and truth collide. The story draws you into the life of ordinary people facing
extraordinary circumstances. What I love most is how grounded and real the
emotions feel, even when the situation spirals.”

Marking his directorial debut, Kiran Das, one of
Malayalam cinema’s most acclaimed editors, shared his thoughts on the title: “UNMADHAM
reflects a state of frenzy — not just in the events of the story, but in the
experience of the central character. We want the audience to feel the
uncertainty he feels. Is what he’s chasing truly supernatural, or is something
else at play? That tension drives the film.”

Kiran Das, a Kerala State Film Award winner for Ishq, has
edited several landmark films including Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum, Joji,
Moothon, Romancham, Rorschach, Joseph, and Ela Veezha Poonchira.

The film is written by National Award-winning writer Shahi
Kabir (Nayattu, Joseph), who reunites with Kunchacko Boban for UNMADHAM
after the commercial success of Officer On Duty. Music is composed by
Mujeeb Majeed (Kishkindha Kandam), with action by Kalai Kingson (Marco,
Bhramayugam).

UNMADHAM is presented by Gulshan Kumar, Bhushan Kumar,
T-Series Films and Panorama Studios, and produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak and
Abhishek Pathak. The film is co-produced by Ram Mirchandani and Rajesh Menon,
with Abhinav Mehrotra serving as creative producer.

With a compelling title, a powerhouse creative team, and a
story that promises to keep audiences questioning what is real and what lies
beneath the surface, UNMADHAM is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing
Malayalam films to watch out for. Further updates, including the film’s first
look and release plans, will be announced soon.

<title>Köche Launches India’s First Portable BLDC Chimney, Port 60</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/koeche-launches-indias-first-portable-bldc-chimney-port-60</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/koeche-launches-indias-first-portable-bldc-chimney-port-60</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ National, 24th April, 2026: Köche, one of India’s fastest
growing kitchen appliance brands, has launched India’s first portable BLDC
chimney, the Port 60. The
product is designed for urban homes, offering a combination of convenience,
performance, and energy efficiency in a compact and extremely easy-to-install
format. 

With more people living in rented
apartments, installing traditional chimneys with  ducting and core cutting
is often difficult. The Port 60 solves this problem by requiring no
ducting or structural changes. It is fully portable and can be
installed within minutes by individuals themselves, making it suitable for
today’s flexible living spaces. 

The chimney runs on a BLDC motor, which
helps reduce noise by 40%, consumes less electricity (40% more energy savings),
and lasts longer compared to regular motors. It also comes with a hydroponic
filter that absorbs smoke, oil particles, and odours, and releases cleaner air
back into the kitchen. This makes it well-suited for Indian cooking.

The Port 60 also includes features like
gesture control and a suction capacity of 1400 m3/hr, helping keep the kitchen
clean and odour-free. 

Speaking about the launch, Founder Bharath
Sankhla said, “There are many ductless chimneys in the market today, but we
wanted to make one better by using an energy-efficient BLDC motor. This makes
the chimneys more convenient and also helps save up to 40% of the energy
consumed, which is extremely important for Indian homes.”

With the launch of the Port 60, Köche aims
to offer a practical and easy-to-use solution for every Indian kitchen. ]]></description>

<title>How Indian Drivers Are Customising Car Insurance Policies</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-indian-drivers-are-customising-car-insurance-policies</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-indian-drivers-are-customising-car-insurance-policies</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Indian car owners are steadily moving away from
one-size-fits-all motor insurance in 2026, opting instead for policies that
align with their driving habits, vehicle usage, and local conditions. This
shift is being driven by digital adoption, rising vehicle ownership, and the
growing availability of flexible policy structures.

From usage-based pricing to modular add-ons, insurers are
now offering solutions that allow customers to build coverage tailored to their
needs. As a result, motor insurance is evolving from a standard purchase into a
more personalised financial decision.

What This Means for Car Owners

For today’s drivers, this shift translates into greater
flexibility and cost efficiency. Usage-based insurance (UBI) models, such as
pay-as-you-drive and pay-how-you-drive, are gaining traction, especially among
younger drivers and urban commuters. These models link premiums to factors like
distance travelled and driving behaviour, offering potential savings for
low-mileage or safe drivers.

At the same time, add-ons are becoming a key part of
decision-making. Features like roadside assistance and zero depreciation cover
continue to see strong adoption, particularly among new car owners seeking
comprehensive protection from day one.

Different driving profiles are shaping coverage choices.
Occasional users are leaning towards mileage-based plans, while frequent
highway drivers prioritise support services like roadside assistance. Urban
commuters, on the other hand, are opting for a balanced mix of affordability
and convenience-driven add-ons.

Shubham Moondra, Chief Product Officer at Royal Sundaram
noted: &quot;We&#039;re seeing a clear shift as Indian drivers demand policies that
match their real-world driving patterns, from urban commutes to weekend
getaways. Usage-based models are empowering safe drivers to save up to 30% on
premiums.&quot;

A More Personal Approach to Protection

Customisation today goes beyond basic coverage; it reflects
how and where vehicles are used. Increasingly, car owners are selecting add-ons
based on real-world risks and regional conditions.

Engine Protection is recommended for car owners in regions that
experience heavy monsoons, such as Kerala and Mumbai, as well as those in
coastal areas where water-related damage to the engine is a common risk.

Tyre Protection is suited
for drivers who frequently travel on poor roads and pothole-prone routes,
covering damage to car tyres or tubes even when the car is not involved in any
accident.

Return-to-Invoice cover is
particularly useful for car owners in urban areas, or those at higher risk of
theft, ensuring they receive the full invoice value of their vehicle in case of
a total loss.

Consumables Cover is ideal
for urban areas and should be taken along with a depreciation cover.

Personal Belongings Protection
is best suited for urban areas and theft-prone zones.

Daily Allowance is
recommended for those with heavy daily commuting needs or business use, as it
provides a daily cash benefit that helps cover alternative transport costs when
your car is in the garage for repair.

Key Replacement cover
addresses general comprehensive needs.

Emergency Medical Expenses
cover serves general comprehensive needs and is especially relevant in
situations where 24-hour hospitalisation is required for the occupants of the
car due to an accident.

Wrong Fuel Protection
covers general comprehensive needs and comes into play when your car is
accidentally filled with the wrong type of fuel.

Many buyers are also choosing their preferred insurer at the
time of vehicle purchase, ensuring seamless coverage from day one while
aligning policy features with their immediate needs.

Backed by Strong Market Growth

This move towards customisation is supported by robust
growth in India’s motor insurance sector. Valued at USD 30.7 billion in 2025,
the market is projected to reach USD 88.8 billion by 2034, driven in part by
increased demand for comprehensive and add-on-rich policies.

Rising repair costs, up by an estimated 15–20% in recent
years due to advanced vehicle technology, are also influencing buying
behaviour. Although insurance primarily covers accidental damages rather than
routine wear and tear, add-ons such as consumables coverage and
return-to-invoice help reduce out-of-pocket expenses during claims.

Digital platforms are further accelerating this shift.
Customers are increasingly comparing, customising, and purchasing policies
online, with adoption growing across both metro and emerging Tier 2 cities.

Shubham Moondra, Chief Product Officer at Royal Sundaram
noted: &quot;With more vehicles on the road and needs varying across
geographies, from monsoon-prone regions to urban congestion, offering ample
add-ons lets customers customise and have wider coverage to fit their
individual risks and budgets, without unnecessary extras.&quot; 

Taking the Next Step

As motor insurance becomes more flexible, car owners have an
opportunity to reassess their coverage and align it with their actual usage
patterns. Choosing the right mix of base policy and add-ons can help optimise
both protection and cost, avoiding unnecessary coverage while addressing real
risks.

Insurers such as Royal
Sundaram are responding to this demand by
expanding their range of add-ons and offering modular plans that allow
customers to tailor policies to their needs. As preferences continue to evolve,

<title>Dr. Prashant Rathod Pioneers Revolutionary Leech Therapy for Varicose Veins</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai,
India – April 24, 2026 : Internationally acclaimed Ayurveda Physician and Leech
Therapy Expert Dr. Prashant Rathod is transforming the treatment landscape for
varicose veins with his groundbreaking, natural leech therapy protocol. With
the medical industry increasingly recognizing the limitations of conventional
surgical and laser options, Dr. Rathod’s innovative approach is emerging as a
highly effective, minimally invasive alternative that is drawing global
attention for its remarkable clinical outcomes.

Varicose
veins, caused by venous valve insufficiency, lead to blood pooling, swelling,
pigmentation, night cramps, and in advanced stages, severe complications
including knee joint degeneration. Traditional treatments such as open surgery
or laser vein sealing merely block damaged veins without restoring natural
circulation. In contrast, Dr. Rathod’s Doppler-guided leech therapy leverages
the natural healing properties of medicinal leeches to suck out stagnant,
impure blood, dissolve clots through hirudin in leech saliva, reduce
inflammation, and dramatically improve blood flow—all while allowing patients
to resume daily activities immediately.

In
his 13 years of dedicated practice, Dr. Rathod has successfully treated over
2,000 patients with excellent long-term results. A standout achievement
underscoring his excellence is the significant improvement in Grade 4 valve
insufficiency in a patient, as observed in follow-up sonography reports,
confirmed by multiple independent sonography reports, an outcome that is
considered uncommon in conventional management and has contributed to Dr.
Rathod’s growing recognition in integrative vein care.

“Leech
therapy is not just an ancient remedy; it is a scientifically supported,
result-oriented solution that addresses the root cause of venous congestion
particularly in cases where patients seek non-surgical or complementary
treatment options,” said Dr. Prashant Rathod. “We use precision Doppler mapping
to apply leeches exactly where needed, delivering natural anticoagulation,
improved circulation, and tissue regeneration with minimal side effects and no
hospitalization. The medical community is now taking serious note because
patients have reported meaningful clinical improvements beyond symptomatic
relief in several cases.”

One
patient who experienced life changing results, shared:

“After
suffering from painful Grade 3 varicose veins, constant night cramps, and ankle
pigmentation for years, I was skeptical about non-surgical options. Dr.
Rathod’s leech therapy changed everything. Within weeks, the swelling and
discoloration reduced dramatically, my cramps disappeared, and follow-up
Doppler scans showed healthy valve function returning. I can now walk freely
without pain, it feels like a remarkable natural recovery experience,”.

With
its cost-effectiveness, natural mechanism, and proven track record, Dr.
Rathod’s leech therapy is being hailed as a paradigm shift in phlebology. As
more healthcare professionals and patients seek alternatives to invasive
procedures, his work continues to set new benchmarks in integrative medicine.

Note
- Results may vary depending on individual patient conditions.

(All
Leech Therapy Procedures Should be performed under Expertedical supervision
only)

<title>Nihilent announces the launch of nSEPIA Beta, the world’s first emotional wellness platform built to measure and improve emotional state</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

Mr.
L. C. Singh, Founder and Executive Chairman, Nihilent, addressing the audience
at the launch of nSEPIA Beta.

 


 nSEPIA Beta opens its first phase of market testing 
 The platform combines emotion measurement, personalised
     intervention, and outcome validation within one system


 

Pune – 24/04/2026: Nihilent has announced the launch of nSEPIA Beta,
marking the first market testing phase of the world’s first emotion
wellness platform designed to help users measure their
emotional state objectively and improve it through personalised interventions
within minutes. The beta is now available for market testing.

The opening of nSEPIA’s private beta was
marked with a symbolic ribbon-cutting ceremony by Mr. Kiran Deshpande,
Executive Council Member, SemiX IIT Bombay and Board Member, 14Trees
Foundation, signifying the beginning of a transformative journey in emotional
wellness. The evening also brought together the first “Founding Circle”, a
select group of early participants who will actively engage with the platform
and contribute to shaping its evolution.

Built as a closed loop system and grounded
in a clear belief that emotional wellness should be accessible, understood, and
available on demand, nSEPIA has been developed to bring structure and
measurability to emotional wellness. The platform first detects a user’s
emotional state through a quick scan, then recommends interventions aligned to
that state and finally enables the user to validate change through a rescan. In
doing so, it moves emotional wellness away from assumption and subjective
interpretation toward clearer understanding and measurable response.

At a time when stress, anxiety, burnout,
worry and emotional strain are becoming a growing part of everyday life, nSEPIA
addresses a gap that has remained largely unresolved. While physical health can
be assessed through established indicators, emotional health has continued to
rely on self-report, expression or broad wellness content. nSEPIA has been
built to change that by enabling users to understand, track, and improve their
emotional state in a clear and consistent way.

The platform begins with a 30 second
scan that captures emotional state in real time. Powered by Emoscape,
a clinically validated emotion AI engine that objectively extracts emotional
signatures independent of expression, language and culture the scan is intended
to give users a more objective understanding of how they actually feel.
Following this, users are presented with a visual representation of their
emotional state in the form of an emotion orb, and observation-based
guidance that explains the state in simple language.

At its core is the Emoscape engine. An
AI-led system that scans the face for subtle, involuntary signals to map
emotional state in real time, independent of expression or language. The goal
is simple: to help people understand what they truly feel, and work with it
more effectively.

Based on the emotional state detected,
nSEPIA offers exclusive, science backed emotion interventions including music,
breathwork, yoga, and meditation. These are not generic wellness options,
but experiences aligned to the user’s current emotional state. The platform
also includes an emotion scale, progress tracking, and
a rescan option that allows users to observe whether their
emotional state has shifted after an intervention.

This combination of emotional clarity,
personalised action, and measurable proof defines nSEPIA’s value and sets it
apart from existing offerings in the wellness space. Rather than functioning as
a meditation app or a therapy alternative, nSEPIA introduces a new category
that combines emotion measurement, personalised intervention, and outcome
validation within one system.

The beta launch will allow Nihilent to test
nSEPIA in the market, understand how users engage with the platform, and gather
feedback that will help shape the next stage of its development. The beta phase
is expected to offer early insight into user behaviour, intervention
preferences, and the role such a platform can play in everyday emotional
wellbeing.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. L. C. Singh,
Founder and Executive Chairman, Nihilent, said, “Technology has measured
almost everything around us, but very little within us. nSEPIA is a step toward
changing that. nSEPIA Beta represents an important step in bringing a new way
of looking at emotional wellness into the market. While emotional health
affects everyday life in profound ways, it has largely remained outside the
reach of structured measurement and response. nSEPIA has been built to address
that gap. It gives users a way to understand their emotional state more
clearly, act on it through relevant interventions, and track change over time.
With the beta now available for market testing, we look forward to seeing how
this platform begins to shape real world use.

With the launch of nSEPIA Beta, Nihilent
takes an important step in opening early market access to a platform built
around clarity, response, and measurable progress, while introducing a new
approach to emotional wellness.

About Nihilent

Nihilent is a global consulting, products
and solutions company specializing in business transformation, digital
innovation, data analytics and technology solutions. Founded in 2000, it
operates in multiple countries, helping businesses enhance efficiency and
customer experience.  nSEPIA is one of Nihilent&#039;s pioneering emotional
wellness  platforms, reflecting the company’s focus on creating
category-defining solutions that bridge technology, human behaviour and ancient
wisdom.

<title>Binance Research: AI Captures 80% of Q1 Venture Funding as Crypto Emerges as an Early Execution Layer</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/binance-research-ai-captures-80-of-q1-venture-funding-as-crypto-emerges-as-an-early-execution-layer</link>

<description><![CDATA[  New
commentary explores the shift from AI co-pilots to agents and why crypto is
becoming a natural environment for autonomous execution

 

Binance Research, the
market research arm of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance, has recently
published a new weekly market commentary titled “From Co-Pilots to
Agents.” The commentary examines how AI is evolving
from an assistive tool into an execution layer, and why crypto is emerging as
one of the earliest environments where that transition is becoming visible.

 

Binance Research notes
that AI is now becoming a major macro capital allocation signal. According to
Gartner, global AI spending is projected to rise from US$1.76 trillion in 2025
to US$2.52 trillion in 2026, before reaching US$3.34 trillion in 2027. AI
infrastructure is expected to account for the largest share of total spending.

 

Moreover, Binance
Research highlighted that private market data points in the same direction.
According to Crunchbase, AI companies raised approximately US$242 billion in Q1
2026, accounting for around 80% of global venture funding during the quarter.
The commentary suggests this concentration of capital is increasingly
influencing strategic priorities across adjacent sectors, including crypto.

 

The report also
highlights how AI is becoming more deeply embedded in crypto’s product and
infrastructure stack. Silicon Valley Bank found that for every venture capital
dollar invested into crypto companies in 2025, 40 cents also went to a firm
that is also building AI products. This is up from 18 cents just the year
before. It suggests that AI is increasingly entering crypto not as a separate
narrative, but as part of its core stack.

 

According to Binance
Research, crypto is emerging as an early execution layer for agentic AI because
it already offers many of the structural features agents need. This includes
on-chain data, programmable rails, composability, and 24/7 markets. Compared
with traditional finance, where execution still depends on intermediaries,
market-hour constraints, and legacy systems, crypto provides a more direct path
from insight to action.

 

The commentary also
points to early product-level evidence of this shift. Using Binance Ai Pro
(Beta) as one reference point, Binance Research found that 45.7% of
conversations in a single day were system-triggered rather than user-initiated.
It suggests that a meaningful share of users have already set up persistent AI
agents that operate in the background.

 

In the commentary,
Binance Research concludes: “...AI is moving from a discovery tool toward an
execution layer. As the value chain from intelligence to action compresses,
competition may increasingly shift from who has an AI feature to who owns the
user’s decision loop. Platforms closer to execution may gain an advantage in
retention, monetization, and order-flow capture.”

 

The full report, “From Co-Pilots to
Agents,” is now available on Binance Research.

 

About
Binance:

global blockchain ecosystem behind the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange

<description><![CDATA[ Gurugram, 24th April 2026 : ixigo Trains, India’s leading AI-based train ticketing platform,
has secured the branding rights for New Delhi Metro Station, as part of a
high-impact marketing initiative to drive stronger brand recall at one of the
national capital’s busiest transit hubs. As part of this initiative, New Delhi
Metro Station will now be known as “ixigo New Delhi Metro Station,”
along with in-metro announcements informing commuters “The next station is New
Delhi, ixigo” and “Agla station New Delhi, ixigo hai.”

The New Delhi Metro Station is a vital
interchange connecting the Yellow Line and Airport Express Line. It serves as a
key access point for passengers travelling via New Delhi Railway Station
(Ajmeri Gate side), while also offering seamless connectivity to IGI Airport
(T2 and T3), major tourist attractions, and commercial hubs like Connaught
Place. By securing branding at this location, ixigo Trains is tapping into a
high-frequency audience of daily commuters and intercity travellers,
reinforcing top-of-mind recall at a moment when travel decisions are often
made.

Commenting on this, Dinesh Kumar
Kotha, CEO, ixigo Trains and ConfirmTkt, said, “New Delhi Metro
Station is one of the most critical transit points in the national capital
region, connecting millions of train and air travellers every day. By bringing
ixigo Trains into this ecosystem, we are meeting users exactly where their
journeys begin. This move also builds on our recent launch of metro ticket
booking on ixigo Trains, including Delhi Metro and Mumbai Metro QR-based
ticketing for seamless travel. This campaign is a natural extension of our
brand promise - making train travel simpler, smarter, and more accessible. With
this, we aim to strengthen recall and ensure that when it comes to train
tickets, ixigo Trains is the first choice.”

This on-ground integration reflects ixigo
Trains’ focus on embedding itself into users’ daily journeys, extending beyond
train bookings to become a constant travel companion across touchpoints.

<description><![CDATA[ Gwalior, India - April
22, 2026 : SkillOps.ai, an AI-powered workforce and
work intelligence platform built to empower global enterprises with
unparalleled visibility into skills and gaps, today announced it has been positioned
as an Aspirant in Everest Group’s Skills Intelligence Platforms PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026
report. This independent evaluation assesses 25 leading skills intelligence platforms
worldwide on market impact, vision, and capability amid AI-driven workforce
transformation.

Born in Gwalior, a
Tier-2 city far from India&#039;s startup metros, SkillOps.ai challenges the status
quo, proving world-class enterprise AI doesn&#039;t need a metro postcode. Global enterprises are under pressure to shift from
role-based to skill-based organisations, but their data lives in silos across
ATS, LMS, HRIS, and project systems. Leadership can&#039;t answer - &quot;Do
we have the skills for this project? Where&#039;s our talent productivity leaking?
What&#039;s our skill gap in six months?&quot; The result? Bloated budgets, poor
staffing, underused talent, and missed outcomes.

SkillOps.ai changes
that with a first-of-its-kind SkillOps (Skill + Operations) platform,
the strategic intelligence layer unifying skill intelligence, workforce
planning, and work execution with AI-driven skill
matching and agentic decision support for HR, L&amp;D, and delivery leaders.
Key differentiators include:

●     
Skill Intelligence: An
AI-powered skill engine builds a dynamic enterprise skill graph, infers skills
from live enterprise data, validates proficiency using AI-driven assessments,
and forecasts skill gaps in real time to benchmark
skill gaps against industry/project demands.

●     
Workforce Intelligence:
Match talent to work to enable internal mobility, simulate hire v/s upskill
decisions, slash over-hiring, and forecast utilization and skill demand-supply
gaps in real time. Real-time performance insights and career path mapping.

●     
Work Intelligence:
Dynamically align verified skills with workloads/projects, tasks, and project
requirements. Orchestrate capacity in real-time, and simulate resource
allocation &amp; utilisation scenarios with minimal friction to boost project
speed.

●     
AI Agents Breaking Silos:
Shared visibility for HR, L&amp;D, and delivery—making skills the single source
of truth and linking skills with business impact &amp; ROI.

As a
skill-first economy accelerates in IT services, financial services,
manufacturing, and GCCs, SkillOps.ai equips enterprises to reduce attrition
losses or over-hiring, deliver AI transformations, and operationalize their
people&#039;s skills for agility and cost efficiency.

&quot;From Gwalior&#039;s
heartland, we&#039;re building the backbone of India&#039;s enterprise AI revolution,
proving deep-tech innovation thrives anywhere. This Everest Group recognition
affirms our mission: turn invisible skills into visible business wins, helping
enterprises plan, predict, and align talent to outcomes in a world reshaped by
AI.&quot; said Gaurav Dixit, Founder of SkillOps.ai.

<description><![CDATA[ New Range of Room Air Conditioners for 2026Blue Star Limited has announced the launch of its new range of Room Air Conditioners for Summer 2026, further strengthening the Company’s presence in India’s residential and commercial cooling segments. The comprehensive portfolio comprises 125 models of Room Air Conditioners, including a flagship premium range, catering to a wide spectrum of customer requirements and usage environments. All models comply with the new Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) standards that came into effect on January 1, 2026. The expanded lineup has been strategically developed to address the growing demand for energy-efficient, high-performance cooling solutions across diverse applications.India’s room AC industry is witnessing sustained structural growth, supported by rising affluence, rapid urbanisation, and increasing climate intensity. The category is projected to expand from approximately 14 million units to 30 million units by FY30, driven by strong first-time adoption in low-penetration markets as well as replacement demand in more mature urban centres. Tier 3, 4 and 5 markets are emerging as key growth engines, outpacing Tier 1 and 2 cities, albeit on a smaller base.The portfolio includes inverter, fixed-speed, and window air conditioners, catering to diverse customer segments across multiple price points. A key highlight is the launch of ‘Iconia’, a premium range in an elegant Midnight Silver finish, designed to appeal to discerning consumers.The Company has launched a formidable range of flagship models, including ‘Super Energy-Efficient ACs’, ‘Heavy-Duty ACs’, ‘Hot &amp; Cold ACs’ and ‘ACs with Anti-Virus Technology’. Blue Star’s ‘Super Energy-Efficient ACs’ feature a unique Dynamic Drive Technology to achieve enhanced energy efficiency with optimised cooling by delivering high airflow volumes. As a result, the 1TR inverter split ACs achieve an ISEER of 6.25, making it 45% more energy efficient than a 3 star inverter AC. The ‘Heavy-Duty ACs’ range is built with superior specifications and delivers exceptional cooling power and comfort, even in scorching heat of up to 56°C. Featuring a robust air throw of up to 55 feet, the ACs maintain full cooling capacity even at 43°C, ensuring optimal performance in extreme conditions.The Company’s ‘Hot &amp; Cold ACs’ are engineered to provide year-round comfort across diverse climates. Blue Star offers a specialised model that operates at ambient temperatures as low as -15°C, ideal for extreme winter markets like Srinagar, along with models designed to perform efficiently down to -5°C for regions experiencing harsh winters.The range of ‘Anti-Virus Technology ACs’ enhances indoor air quality by filtering harmful microbes and particulate matter. These units can also operate in air purification mode, offering added protection, particularly during the winter season.Nearly 50 models are Smart WiFi enabled, offering features such as AI-driven adaptive cooling, customised sleep modes, voice command technology and energy management features. The range also incorporates advanced multi-layer filtration systems to enhance indoor air quality, along with convertible cooling modes, self clean and defrost clean technology, DigiQ Octa Sensors, and Nano BluProtect technology for superior anti-corrosion protection. The Company offers a lifetime warranty on the inverter compressor, a five-year warranty on PCBs, and attractive financing options to enhance affordability and accessibility.Expanding Manufacturing FootprintTo support the growth of its Room Air Conditioners business, Blue Star has strengthened its manufacturing footprint across multiple facilities. The Company’s current production capacity is approximately 1.4 million units, scalable to 1.8 million units to meet rising demand. Blue Star operates a state-of-the-art plant at Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, along with two plants in Himachal Pradesh, all dedicated to room AC production. These facilities feature advanced automation technologies, including modern assembly lines and automated material handling systems, complemented by IoT integration and digitalisation initiatives to enhance efficiency, quality, and scalability.Sustainable Technologies and R&amp;D InfrastructureBlue Star continues to strengthen its advanced R&amp;D infrastructure, backed by accredited testing laboratories and dedicated product development facilities. The Company is integrating eco-friendly refrigerants and energy-efficient systems across its portfolio in line with evolving environmental standards. Through sustained investments in innovation, IoT integration, and digitalisation, Blue Star aims to deliver technologically advanced and environmentally responsible cooling solutions that meet the evolving needs of consumers.Expanding Distribution and Service NetworkBlue Star has established a strong pan-India presence, spanning 900 towns and retailing through more than 10000 outlets across the country. Its Gold Standard Service programme, supported by an extensive service network of over 2100 partners and robust digital platforms, ensures dependable after-sales support.Comprehensive Range of Commercial Refrigeration Solutions As part of the Unitary Cooling products portfolio, Blue Star also offers an extensive range of commercial refrigeration products designed to meet diverse industry requirements. The portfolio includes deep freezers, storage water coolers, bottled water dispensers, visi coolers and freezers, cold rooms, supermarket refrigeration systems, kitchen refrigeration equipment and healthcare refrigeration products such as ultra-low temperature freezers and vaccine transporters. Together, these solutions cater to a wide range of sectors, including Horticulture, Floriculture, Banana Ripening, Dairy, Ice Cream, Poultry, Processed Foods, Quick Service Restaurants, HoReCa, Sericulture, Marine, Pharmaceuticals, and Healthcare. The commercial refrigeration business is witnessing strong structural momentum, driven by the growth in out-of-home consumption, expansion of food retail and quick commerce, and the increasing need for reliable temperature-controlled storage and logistics solutions. Rising disposable incomes, higher consumption of fresh and frozen foods, and the rapid expansion of modern trade and convenience formats are further supporting segment growth.Future ProspectsSpeaking on the announcement, B Thiagarajan, Managing Director, Blue Star Limited, said, “India’s cooling demand is at an inflection point, supported by favourable demographics and structural shifts in consumption. Nearly 150 million households in India are expected to be able to afford air conditioners in the future, indicating significant headroom for penetration. The new range of Unitary Cooling products, including a comprehensive portfolio of commercial refrigeration solutions, further strengthens our ability to capitalise on the growing opportunities and expand our presence across both residential and commercial segments. By aligning our product strategy with key structural shifts, from first-time AC adoption to evolving refrigeration needs, Blue Star is well positioned to lead in the next phase of cooling demand.” ]]></description>

<title>Mandarr Kaadam: The Indian Filmmaker Building Cinema on Research, Visual Identity and Historical Authenticity</title>

<description><![CDATA[  How a Kolhapur-based director is reshaping Indian historical cinema
through Rudransh and OthBrok Production

In an era where quick visibility often overshadows
substance, one filmmaker from Maharashtra is taking a different approach.
Mandar Kadam, professionally known as Mandarr Kaadam, is carving out a
distinctive space in Indian cinema — one defined not by hurried releases, but
by meticulous research, visual storytelling, and long-term creative vision.

As director, writer, producer, and entrepreneur behind
OthBrok Production, Kaadam represents a new generation of Indian filmmakers who
see cinema as more than entertainment. For him, it is a discipline that demands
preparation, historical rigor, and the patient construction of worlds that feel
both credible and emotionally resonant.

From Fine Arts to Film: The Visual Foundation

Kaadam&#039;s journey began far from film sets. After
completing his education at R.S. Gosavi Kalaniketan Mahavidyalaya in Kolhapur —
a respected institution for fine arts in Maharashtra — he developed what would
become the cornerstone of his filmmaking philosophy: a deep understanding of
visual composition, mood, and design.

&quot;His background in art is not incidental to his
cinema,&quot; observes one industry colleague familiar with his work. &quot;It
shapes how he sees every frame, every character design, every historical
costume. You can see it in the way he approaches Rudransh — this isn&#039;t
decoration. It&#039;s structure.&quot;

The Brand Development Years: Learning to
Build Ideas

Before fully transitioning to cinema, Kaadam spent
formative years working in brand development and creative strategy. This phase,
often overlooked in profiles of filmmakers, proved essential in shaping his
approach to storytelling and audience engagement.

In brand development, Kaadam learned how ideas are
refined, tested, and presented to audiences. He came to understand that
creative work and commercial clarity are not opposing forces — they are two
parts of a single process. This insight would later inform how he positions his
films, builds his production house, and crafts narratives that are both
artistically serious and publicly legible.

Rudransh: A Historical Film Built on
Scholarship

At the center of Mandarr Kaadam&#039;s current work is
Rudransh, a historical film project developed under OthBrok Production. The
project has drawn attention not for spectacle alone, but for its insistence on
historical depth and visual authenticity.

Kaadam&#039;s approach to Rudransh reflects a filmmaker who
respects the complexity of historical storytelling. Rather than treating
history as backdrop, he treats it as structure — something that requires
consultation with scholars, examination of manuscripts, and engagement with the
decades-long work of Indian historians who have dedicated their careers to
archival research, battlefield documentation, and oral history preservation.

&quot;There are historians in India who have spent 30,
40, even 50 years studying single events, single regions, single
dynasties,&quot; Kaadam has noted in industry conversations. &quot;Their work
deserves to be honored in how we build these stories on screen. Historical
cinema is not just about costumes and swords. It&#039;s about credibility.&quot;

A Filmmaker With an Entrepreneurial Lens

What sets Kaadam apart in the Indian independent film
landscape is his dual identity as filmmaker and entrepreneur. Through OthBrok
Production, he has built an infrastructure that allows for sustained creative
development — a rarity in an industry often dependent on project-by-project
financing.

Industry observers note that Kaadam&#039;s entrepreneurial
discipline shows in his project timelines. Where many independent filmmakers
announce projects that vanish within months, Kaadam&#039;s development of Rudransh
has been steady, methodical, and transparent about the time required to do
historical storytelling properly.

&quot;He&#039;s not rushing to release,&quot; says a
collaborator familiar with the production. &quot;He&#039;s building something that
can last. That&#039;s rare.&quot;

Looking Ahead: A Model for Thoughtful Cinema

As the Indian film industry continues to expand its global
reach, filmmakers like Mandarr Kaadam represent a crucial counterbalance to the
pressure for constant output. His work suggests that there is space — and
audience appetite — for cinema built on research, visual literacy, and respect
for historical scholarship.

With Rudransh moving through production and OthBrok
Production establishing itself as a serious creative enterprise, Kaadam&#039;s
journey offers a model for emerging filmmakers: one where artistic foundation,
intellectual rigor, and entrepreneurial sustainability are not contradictory,
but complementary.

For a filmmaker from Kolhapur quietly building a body of
work that values substance over speed, the path ahead looks deliberate — and
promising.

About Mandarr Kaadam Mandar Kadam
(Mandarr Kaadam) is a director, writer, producer and entrepreneur based in
Kolhapur, Maharashtra. He is the founder of OthBrok Production and is currently
developing Rudransh, a historical film project. His work is characterized by
research-driven storytelling, visual design literacy, and respect for
historical scholarship.

<description><![CDATA[ Cricket
Stars MS Dhoni, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya along with Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra
Jadeja, Tilak Varma and Sai Sudharsan come on board as Investors; the funding
round drew investments from Blume, V3 Ventures, MIXI and Times Internet.

Bengaluru,
India, April 23, 2026:  LightFury
Games (LFG), a AAA-focused game-tech studio, today
announced it has raised US$11 million in its Pre-Series A. The
100-member studio spans deep creative talent and advanced technical capability
to build premium, globally competitive games. Its backers include Blume, V3
Ventures, MIXI, Times Internet and strategic investments from top
members of the Indian cricket team. 

In
a defining endorsement for the company and its debut title ‘eCricket’,
some of the biggest names in the world of cricket - MS Dhoni, Jasprit
Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, along with Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja,
Tilak Varma and Sai Sudharsan have joined the round as
investors. 

At
a time when cricket remains one of the world’s most-followed sports, the
backing of iconic and leading cricketers gives LightFury Games a rare
athlete-backed momentum as it builds ‘eCricket’, a AAA title from
India with global ambitions, slated for release in 2026 on mobile. 

The
fresh capital will be primarily deployed to complete game development and
strengthen its live operations (live ops) capabilities. This includes the
post-launch infrastructure content pipelines and systems designed to deliver a
high-quality, continuously evolving player experience at scale. With cricket
commanding a global audience estimated to be over 2.5
billion, LightFury aims to address a significant gap
in the sports gaming category by delivering a technically advanced,
competitive, and live-service-driven Cricket e-game Franchise from India. The
100-strong studio combines creative vision with technical innovation to create
high-quality, globally competitive games.

“We’ve backed LightFury
from inception, in their mission to pioneer a new generation of Indian gaming
studios, building IPs with global ambition. Building a AAA game is neither easy
nor quick - it takes sustained creative excellence, deep technical expertise,
and long-term discipline. In LightFury, we’ve seen a team come together from
different parts of the world, with a shared passion and incredible attention to
detail, depth and creativity. Supercharged by natively built AI tools, we are
excited for the world to experience eCricket very soon. We would like it to be
the Dhurandhar of Indian gaming history,” said Karthik Reddy, Co-founder and
Managing Partner, Blume Ventures. 

Arjun
Vaidya, Managing Partner of V3 Ventures, added,
“I&#039;m a die-hard cricket fan, and today it is one of the biggest sports in
the world. Yet it still does not have a definitive game in the way football,
basketball or American football do. That is the gap. What gives us confidence
is not just the size of the market, but the quality of gameplay, overall
experience and player associations that LightFury has been building behind the
scenes with real intent. Cricket is a uniquely complex sport, and its place at
the intersection of culture, community and technology for nearly a quarter of
the world’s population makes the opportunity around eCricket even more
exciting. We’re excited to back LightFury as they work to build an impactful,
category-defining global title and give our favourite sport the game it
deserves.”

The
global gaming market is projected to surpass US $400 billion in the coming years,
and India’s gaming ecosystem is expected to reach US $9.89 billion by 2031
(growing at a CAGR of 14.55% between 2026 and 2031). LightFury Games is
positioning itself at the forefront of India’s rise as a global game
development hub. The company has invested over the past two years in core
development capabilities, infrastructure, and analytics systems to enable
continuous content, deep player engagement and long-term operational
excellence.

“India has long been
one of the world’s biggest gaming markets. Yet it has not been able to build a
truly world-class AAA sports title. With eCricket, we want to change that. We
are building from India for the world, with a very high bar on quality, deep
competitive gameplay, and true-to-sport authenticity. This partnership ensures
that we deliver on that vision and bring eCricket to fans soon in 2026. For us,
this is much bigger than a game launch. It is about proving that India can
build premium gaming IPs for the world, and not just play it.” says Karan
Shroff, Co-Founder &amp; CEO, LightFury Games

On what stood out to
him about this collaboration, MS Dhoni said, “I’ve seen a lot of
cricket games over the years, and there’s always been something missing. When
LightFury showed me what they were working on, I felt they were trying to close
that gap. It’s a big undertaking, building something like this out of India for
a global audience. I’m here to contribute what I can from my time in the game,
and make sure the details hold up. The rest is up to them, and from what I’ve
seen, they’ll do a good job.”

Speaking about the
challenge of capturing the depth of cricket in a game, Jasprit Bumrah who is
exclusively managed by RISE Worldwide, added, “Cricket is a game of fine
margins, and that’s what stood out to me about eCricket. The focus on detail
and authenticity is impressive. I’m happy to back a team that is thinking deeply
about the sport and building something meaningful from India.”

Sharing his perspective
on cricket’s scale and fan energy, Hardik Pandya said, “Cricket is
pressure, skill, and entertainment all at once. Fans want to feel that energy.
What excites me about eCricket is that it is not trying to make cricket smaller
for gaming. It is trying to make gaming rise to the scale of cricket. That is a
bold idea, and I was very excited when the LightFury team approached me to be a
part of  the game.”

eCricket,
built on Unreal Engine 5 and designed for mobile-first play, delivers a
progression-driven experience with evolving player journeys shaped by real-time
decisions. Its physics-led gameplay, combined with strategic batting and
bowling systems, authentically captures real-world styles and match dynamics,
while dynamic AI commentary and broadcast-style presentation ensure no two
matches feel the same. Earlier this year, LightFury Games had also announced
securing the global player roster license of over 600 professional
cricketers featuring stars like Chris Gayle, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Kane
Williamson, Pat Cummins, Jos Buttler, Travis Head and Andre Russell,
marking one of the largest rosters in cricket gaming. eCricket reflects
LightFury’s vision to build a definitive, globally competitive cricket gaming
franchise, positioning India at the forefront of premium sports game
development.

<description><![CDATA[ Setting the stage
for innovation and industry collaboration, Die &amp; Mould India International
Exhibition 2026 (DMI 2026) commenced at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Goregaon,
Mumbai, on April 21, 2026. Organised by the Tool &amp; Gauge Manufacturers
Association of India (TAGMA), DMI 2026 promises to showcase various technological
developments for the booming die and mould industry. It highlights the
opportunities and challenges and provides a platform for toolmakers to learn
from the user industry. 

The four-day event
has brought together leading toolmakers, technology providers, and user
industries to highlight advancements in die and mould technology, CNC
machining, automation, and additive manufacturing, all aimed at strengthening
the ‘Make in India’ initiative. 



The exhibition’s
inauguration ceremony was graced by Mr. Manoj Kolhatkar, MD and CEO, Tata
AutoComp Systems Ltd., who was the event&#039;s Chief Guest. Mr. F. R. Singhvi,
Joint Managing Director, Sansera Engineering Ltd. and President, Aerospace
India Association; Mr. Vinamra Mishra, Joint Secretary, Ministry of MSME, Government
of India; and Mr. Hector U. Villanueva, Chairman, FADMA, were the Guests of
Honour. Mr. Devaraya M. Sheregar, President, TAGMA India, and Mr. D.
Shanmugasundaram, Vice President, TAGMA India, were also present alongside
other dignitaries. The ceremonial lighting of the lamp by the esteemed guests
marked the auspicious beginning of the exhibition. 

Addressing the
Audience 

Extending a warm
welcome to everyone present at the inauguration ceremony, Mr. Sheregar said,
“This year’s Die &amp; Mould India is our largest edition so far. We have over
350 exhibitors participating across three halls; we are expecting 35,000+
visitors over the next three days. Die &amp; Mould India is not just an
exhibition. It is a platform where the entire ecosystem comes together to
showcase capabilities, exchange ideas, and build partnerships that will shape
the future of our industry.” 

Talking about the
opportunities in the tooling industry, Mr. Sheregar added, “Over the past year,
the industry has experienced a positive momentum. Many toolmakers have
witnessed robust business growth, improved order books, and better capacity
utilisation. At the same time, we are seeing increased investments in advanced
technologies, automation, and modern machining capabilities. Many Indian toolmakers
are now not only serving domestic customers but are also exporting to global
markets. There is also a strong focus on skill development, which is very
important for the future of our industry.” 

Highlighting the
importance of skill development, Mr. Singhvi said, “The government expects the
industry to do well, and industry expects the government to support it. Over
the last 40 years, many have perished, some have remained small, but many of us
have grown in the same environment. The difference lies in the people who run
the industry. In my 30-year journey, skill development has been the single most
impactful focus. Salaries have risen from INR 18,000 to INR 35,000, but is that
enough? Growth depends on people. Ten employees can take you so far; a hundred
can take you ten times further; five hundred can take you a hundred times
further. Retaining and nurturing employees is the real growth engine.”

Mr. Singhvi added,
“We fail to give employees an extra INR 3,000–5,000 or a clear roadmap for
their future. That’s how we lose our best people. Skill is the foundation. We
face a paradox: millions of young people struggle for jobs, while industries
struggle to fulfil orders due to a lack of skilled manpower. Train them, retain
them, and in 2–3 years, they will become experts who drive your business
forward.”

“The government
will support MSMEs, but don’t wait for them to start. If India wants to lead in
manufacturing, we must first lead in tooling. That is the foundation of modern
industry,” Mr. Singhvi concluded. 

Speaking about the
contributions of MSMEs, Mr. Mishra noted, “MSMEs have made immense
contributions to the country’s economic growth, whether it is exports, where we
contribute 45%, or manufacturing GVO, where our share is 37%. The MSME
ecosystem today employs close to 8.1 crore people. Clearly, these are the
growth drivers. But within this, the tooling industry is the precision gear
that drives the entire ecosystem.” 

Mr. Mishra added,
“The government has set its goal on supporting the manufacturing ecosystem. We
need to ideate together and let the government know what works. For example, in
the innovation sector, India rose from around 80–90th in the Global Innovation
Index to the early 30s within a decade. This was possible because of
investments in R&amp;D and supportive frameworks. Similarly, manufacturing can
be strengthened with the right steps.” Focussing on the importance of
innovation, Mr. Villanueva said, “Die &amp; Mould India has established itself
as a premium platform for motivation, innovation, and excellence in the tooling
and die industry… We are witnessing a transformative moment in manufacturing.
Smart manufacturing, CNC technologies, additive manufacturing, and integrated
automation are redefining how industry operates. These innovations are enhancing
productivity and precision while enabling more sustainable and efficient
production systems. I commend TAGMA India for its unwavering commitment to
advancing the tooling industry by bringing together stakeholders from
automotive, aerospace, consumer goods, and packaging.” 

The opportunities
for the tooling industry are expanding. Highlighting the opportunities in the
auto industry, Mr. Kolhatkar said, “The Indian economy today is among the
brightest in the world, and the auto industry has had its best year ever. In
2025–26, India recorded production of 5.5 million passenger cars, nearly 27
million two-wheelers, and over a million each of commercial vehicles, tractors,
and three-wheelers. Auto components, as an industry, crossed $90 billion, and
for the first time, exports slightly exceeded imports— showing how far we have
matured. Yet, in the tool and die fraternity, we still import about 35%. Every
new car model requires tooling investments of around INR 4,000 crore in India,
and billions overseas. While frugal engineering helps us keep costs lower, the
scope for growth in tooling remains immense.”

Mr.
Shanmugasundaram then concluded the ceremony with a Vote of Thanks. He said,
“As we inaugurate Die &amp; Mould India 2026, I would like to share a broader
perspective on our industry— where we stand today and where we are headed. This
is not just the inauguration of an exhibition; it is a reflection of where we
have come from in the last 10 years, and where we are going in the next 10.” 

He also extended a
warm welcome to members of the Federation of Asian Die and Mould Associations
(FADMA). “We are honoured to host around 20 delegates from Hong Kong, Japan,
Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand. It is a matter of pride
that the FADMA Annual General Meeting is being hosted in India this year,
immediately following this exhibition. Your presence strengthens global
collaboration, and we truly value this association. I would like to offer a
special thanks to all exhibitors, partners, sponsors, and the TAGMA team for
creating this outstanding platform,” he said. 

DMI: Powering
India’s Tooling Future 

TAGMA India
introduced the Die &amp; Mould India Exhibition series in 1998 to encourage and
strengthen the die and mould fraternity. Over the years, the exhibition has
grown into India’s largest platform for the tooling industry. It covers a wide
spectrum of products and services, including dies and moulds, press tools,
mould bases, hot runner systems, tool steel, heat treatment, gauges, CAD/CAM
solutions, additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, CNC machining centers,
EDM, moulding and die-casting machines, polishing equipment, cutting tools,
measuring systems, and related accessories. The exhibition provides
participants with opportunities to explore new business potential, gain
insights into industry challenges, witness live demonstrations, and stay
updated with global innovations. The show also serves as a meeting ground for
the tooling fraternity. 

The 2024 edition of
Die &amp; Mould India International Exhibition was a major success. The event
featured 300+ exhibitors from 15+ countries and drew more than 38000 visitors
across 15 sectors. Its highlights included 35+ product launches, strong
participation in the B2B Pavilion, an engaging Korea Pavilion, and delegations
from more than 25 companies. The scale and response reaffirmed the exhibition’s
importance as a global hub for tooling excellence and its role in shaping the
future of India’s die and mould industry. ]]></description>

<title>Tamara Leisure Experiences puts responsible hospitality and community at its core</title>

<description><![CDATA[ From
conscious design and circular operations to community-first practices, the
brand is shaping a more considered approach to luxury travel, where
sustainability is built into every experience

National,
23rd April 2026: Tamara Leisure Experiences has, since
inception, embedded Responsible Hospitality into its core, guided by a
clear vision of people, planet, and profit thriving in tandem. Across its
portfolio of nine properties, from luxury resorts in Coorg and Kodaikanal to
upscale O by Tamara hotels in Coimbatore and Trivandrum, mid-scale Lilac
hotels, and its flagship wellness offering Amal Tamara, a NABH-accredited
Ayurveda hospital, this philosophy translates into an elevated form of
eco-conscious hospitality where design, service, and setting come together to
deliver immersive, low-impact luxury. The flagship property, The Tamara Coorg,
holds the Global Sustainable Tourism Council certification, underscoring its
alignment with global sustainability standards, with a clear roadmap to extend
this benchmark across all Tamara properties.

Samir
MC, CEO, Tamara Leisure Experiences, said,
“Our nine property portfolio is aligned to GSTC principles. And I want to be
honest about what that distinction means, because the certification is the
outcome, but the real value is in the discipline the journey instills across
your entire organisation. This is not a badge. It is a framework to make your
circular systems auditable, measurable, and accountable. Our goal is to make
that the portfolio standard, not a novelty at one property.” 

“Earth
Day serves as a timely reminder of shared responsibility towards the planet,
and at Tamara Leisure Experiences, this is reflected through on-ground actions
across its properties, from farm to table experiences and community clean-up drives
to sustainability-led engagements. These efforts extend into Earth Week (22–28
April) through nature-led activities, conscious dining, and community
participation, where sustainability is not an add-on but the experience itself.
At Tamara, responsible hospitality is foundational, shaping every stage from
design and conceptualization to operations and guest experience. For us,
sustainability is not a seasonal campaign, but a part of our daily operating
philosophy.” 

Here’s
how this philosophy comes to life across key pillars:

Sustainability
in Design 

Each
Tamara property is planned with the local environment in mind, designed to
retain and work with its natural surroundings, allowing the ecosystem to shape
how the space is built and experienced. For example, At The Tamara Coorg,
sustainability is a design decision guided by a clear ethos, build less to
preserve more. Set across 28 acres of largely untouched landscape, the resort
was developed with minimal ecological disruption, felling just 17 trees and
consciously scaling down from 60 to 56 cottages to protect even more. Elevated
on stilts, each structure sits lightly on the land, allowing the forest to
remain undisturbed, where trees are not cleared but seamlessly woven into the
architecture and experience.

Rooted
in Community care, designed for continuity 

At
Tamara, sustainability extends to the people who shape the experience,
expressed through local immersion, farm to table practices, and menus rooted in
regional flavours and wellness, from Kodava cuisine in Coorg to place-led
dining across properties. This continues at Verandah, the in-house boutique,
where locally inspired crafts, natural wellness products, and plantation-grown
spices offer a tangible extension of the region’s heritage.

Guided
by community and circular thinking, nearly half the workforce is locally hired
and close to 40% of procurement is regional, strengthening livelihoods while
keeping operations rooted. This comes through most tangibly in the organic
minibar, where every product is local, organic, and traceable, and in the
kitchen, where menus are shaped by what is locally and seasonally available,
ensuring procurement drives the plate. Ongoing support for education and local
institutions reinforces a long-term commitment to community development.

Zero
Waste Living 

Across
Tamara properties, 15-40 tonnes of waste is reimagined as a resource through a
closed loop system where nothing is discarded and everything is repurposed.
100% food waste is recycled in house through low impact processes like Bio
Manthan, plastic is replaced with glass bottles, stainless steel dispensers and
refillable amenities, while circular practices extend to repurposed linen,
reused bottles, kitchen gardens, greenhouses and seed saving, with food waste
reduced to 0.54 kg per head. With zero significant chemical spills in FY
2024-25, this carries into the guest experience, with leaf coasters, bamboo
alternatives, towel reuse, alternate linen changes, and sapling takeaways
ensuring the philosophy is both visible and lived.

Mindful
use of every resource

Resource
conservation is deliberate and deeply local. Natural waterfalls and stream
water are left untouched to preserve community sources. While rainwater
harvesting systems and tap aerators reduce consumption, LED lighting, heat
pumps, lithium battery buggies, key tag controls, EV infrastructure, solar
panels and emission management ensure energy optimisation. Behind the scenes,
efficiency is engineered into every system, smart laundry and advanced STP and
ETP plants enable reuse, while continuous monitoring of water, energy, and
carbon, along with thoughtful material reuse, keeps operations tightly
optimised and low impact.

Quiet
design and conscious tech

Throughout
properties, impact is reduced through thoughtful restraint. The absence of DJ
music and harsh lighting limits noise and light pollution, while low lux
pathways, timers, and sensors minimize ecological disturbance. A seamless tech
enabled journey with digital check ins, e-bills, and paperless feedback reduces
waste, supported by in-house water systems over plastic. From horn free EV
buggies to reusable linen elements and locally rooted touches, every detail is
intentional and quietly conscious

At
Tamara, responsible hospitality shapes how we think, design, and operate across
the portfolio. It brings sourcing, consumption, and recovery into careful
alignment, ensuring that sustainability is quietly built into everyday
operations

About
Tamara Leisure Experiences

Established
in 2005, Tamara Leisure Experiences (TLE) stands as a paragon of
&quot;Responsible and Memorable Hospitality.&quot; The organization harmonizes
Profit, People, and Planet through its signature ‘touch-the-earth-lightly’
architectural philosophy, ensuring each destination honours its natural surroundings

<title>A Shift Towards Experiential Education in Schools with CognoSpace</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/a-shift-towards-experiential-education-in-schools-with-cognospace</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/a-shift-towards-experiential-education-in-schools-with-cognospace</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Ahmedabad (Gujarat)
[India], April 23 : CognoSpace, an education solutions provider
focused on experiential and technology-enabled learning, has expanded its
footprint to over 150 schools across more than 9 states in India, impacting
upwards of 100,000 students on a weekly basis. They also boast an excellent
program renewal rate of over 98%

The company specialises
in designing and implementing Composite Skill Labs that aim to bridge the gap
between theoretical classroom instruction and real-world application. With
increasing emphasis on skill-based education under the National Education
Policy (NEP) 2020, CognoSpace’s offerings are positioned to support schools in
transitioning towards more practical and outcome-driven learning environments.

Founded by Santosh
Ballu and Satish Garla, alumni of BITS Pilani with over 15 years of corporate
experience, the company has scaled its operations within three years of
inception to become a national-level education solutions provider. CognoSpace
follows a research and development-driven approach, designing and manufacturing
its own learning tools and lab infrastructure.

The company’s product
ecosystem includes a portfolio of over 600 structured activities across 30
modules covering STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and
life skills (Financial Literacy &amp; Personality Development). These modules
incorporate emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI),
Robotics, Augmented reality (AR), Drones, and 3D modelling, enabling students
to gain early exposure to future-focused domains.

CognoSpace’s Composite
Skill Labs are designed as plug-and-play solutions that combine physical
infrastructure, curriculum, and teacher training into a single integrated
system. This allows schools to deploy the labs with relatively low operational
complexity while ensuring alignment with evolving education standards.

In addition to physical
labs, the company offers a digital ecosystem through its Learning Management
System (LMS), which supports structured curriculum delivery, performance
tracking, and engagement monitoring. This integrated approach enables schools
to systematically implement skill-based learning while maintaining academic
continuity.

According to the
company, its solutions are aligned not only with NEP 2020 but also with the
National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023. The platform
is also designed to support schools in meeting upcoming requirements related to
Composite Skill Labs, as outlined by education boards.

Schools have also
reported smoother adoption of skill-based frameworks through structured
implementation models.

CognoSpace’s
multidisciplinary approach extends beyond STEM to include life skills such as
financial literacy and personality development, aiming to create a more
holistic learning experience for students.

With continued
expansion plans, the company aims to further strengthen its presence across
India and support schools in building innovation-driven ecosystems that prepare
students for future academic and professional challenges.

<title>Genetidoc Genetic Clinic Expands Services to Major Cities Across India, Enabling Wider Access to Genetic Testing and Expert Care</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/genetidoc-genetic-clinic-expands-services-to-major-cities-across-india-enabling-wider-access-to-genetic-testing-and-expert-care</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/genetidoc-genetic-clinic-expands-services-to-major-cities-across-india-enabling-wider-access-to-genetic-testing-and-expert-care</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala :
Genetidoc Genetic Clinic and DNA Testing Lab has announced the expansion of its
services to all major cities across India, covering nearly 500 locations.
Patients and doctors across the country can now access genetic testing and
expert consultations through a centralized system.

As part of this expansion, individuals from
anywhere in India can reach the clinic directly via phone or WhatsApp at +91-808-606-7838
to ask questions, speak to a genetic counsellor, order tests, or book
consultations with a clinical geneticist.

This expansion comes at a time when awareness
about genetic conditions is increasing, but access to trained specialists and
proper interpretation remains limited in many regions. By extending its reach,
Genetidoc aims to make expert-led genetic services more accessible.

The clinic works with NABL and CAP accredited
partners for wet-lab processing under defined quality checks. Interpretation,
reporting, and clinical guidance are handled by its in-house team of experts.
This is in contrast to many labs which are often led by unqualified staff.

Founded by Dr Roshan Daniel (MBBS, MD, DM
Medical Genetics), the clinic follows a model where medical decision-making is
central to every test. He is one of the leading clinical geneticists in the
country and among the few in India who are European board certified.

“Many people think genetic testing is just
about getting a report,” said Dr Roshan Daniel. “But the real value lies in
choosing the right test and understanding what the result means for that person
and their family.”

Dr Roshan Daniel has managed more than ten
thousand cases across his career and several of them highlight the importance
of correct diagnosis and interpretation. The following examples from the
Genetidoc Genetic Clinic are anonymised and names have been changed.

“In one case, a family came to us after having
a child with autism. He was 4 years old, Virat (name changed),” said Dr Roshan
Daniel. “They had been told earlier that it was unlikely to happen again in the
next pregnancy. But based on clinical features, we suspected a genetic cause.
Testing confirmed Fragile X syndrome in Virat, which has about a 25% chance of
recurrence. This changed counselling completely. In their next pregnancy, we
guided them with appropriate testing, and they were able to have an unaffected
child.”

In
another case involving cancer risk, a lady—Priya (name changed)—approached the
clinic after her mother had breast cancer, with a history of multiple family
members having early breast and ovarian cancers. “She was very anxious,” said
Dr Roshan Daniel. “We tested her mother and found a BRCA2 gene variant. We then
tested Priya and found that she did not carry the same variant. This ruled out
the inherited risk for her and avoided unnecessary interventions.”

Adult conditions with family history were
another area where genetics helped. “We evaluated Mohit (name changed) from a
family with multiple early heart attacks and sudden deaths,” said Dr Roshan
Daniel. “On examination, we noticed features of Marfan syndrome. Genetic
testing confirmed it. He was started on medication and underwent preventive
surgery, which minimised his risk of any serious cardiac events.”

The clinic has also worked with couples facing
infertility. “In one couple, we identified a balanced chromosomal translocation
in the wife, Kavya (name changed),” said Dr Roshan Daniel. “This explained
their difficulty in having a healthy pregnancy. They did not want to use donor
options. We guided them for IVF with PGT-SR, where embryos are tested before transfer.
They were able to have a healthy baby.”

According to the clinic, such outcomes depend
on choosing the correct test and interpreting it properly.

Dr Roshan Daniel also highlighted the issue of
unclear results such as variants of uncertain significance (VUS). “These are
findings where the meaning is not clear,” he said. “Most lab  reports mention them without explanation. Our
role is to help understand whether it is relevant and what to do next.”

The clinic focuses on scientifically validated
testing only. Many tests that claim to predict diet, fitness, or general
wellness lack strong evidence, especially due to the absence of large,
well-established reference data from the Indian population. Genetidoc therefore
limits its services to areas where genetic testing has a clear role in
diagnosis, treatment, or prevention. 

It also notes that practices like diluted
reagents, overloading sequencing cartridges, or using low-quality software can
affect test quality. Instead of high volumes, the clinic focuses on reliability
by working with accredited partners under strict quality checks and internal
review. Doctors are involved in each step, supported by genetic counsellors and
analysts.

The team includes clinical geneticists, genome
analysts, and genetic counsellors who evaluate each case. Patients are also
offered free counselling to understand their reports.

Commenting on the expansion, Dr Vijay Kumar, a
Bangalore-based neonatologist, said, “Access to trained clinical geneticists
and good quality genetic testing has been limited. Services like this across
cities will help both doctors and patients make better decisions.”

With expansion to major cities, systems for
sample collection, logistics, and reporting have been set up so patients do not
need to travel. Doctors can also connect for help with test selection and
interpretation. Genetidoc will continue to work with hospitals and clinicians
to integrate genetic testing into routine care where needed.

“Genetics is becoming an important part of
modern medicine,” said Dr Roshan Daniel. “Our aim is to make high quality
genetic testing and services by qualified clinical geneticists accessible,
actionable, and useful for people across the country.” You can read more on the services offered by Genetidoc Genetic Clinic
and DNA Testing Lab here.

<title>HOUSE OF NIVEDITA UNVEILS ‘AUREA’ &#45; A CELEBRATION OF LIGHT, POWER, AND MODERN COUTURE</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/house-of-nivedita-unveils-aurea-a-celebration-of-light-power-and-modern-couture</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/house-of-nivedita-unveils-aurea-a-celebration-of-light-power-and-modern-couture</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, April 2026 : The House of
Nivedita presents Aurea, its latest couture collection - an
evocative exploration of light as both a universal force and an intimate human
experience. Rooted in the philosophy of unseen energies that bind us, Aurea
translates the ethereal language of auras into a powerful visual narrative of
craftsmanship, form, and emotion.

At the heart of this showcase is actor Harshvardhan
Rane, who embodies the spirit of Aurea as both muse and
showstopper. Known for his quiet intensity and refined presence, Rane mirrors
the collection’s core - strength tempered with sensitivity, and luminosity
expressed through restraint. His association brings alive the modern muse:
grounded, powerful, and effortlessly transcendent.

A true pioneer of Indian fashion, Nivedita -
Founder and Creative Director of the House of Nivedita - has consistently
redefined the dialogue between heritage craftsmanship and contemporary design.
With Aurea, she furthers this vision, presenting a collection that
moves beyond couture into a deeper, almost philosophical realm of expression.

Drawing inspiration from the spectrum of human
auras, the collection journeys through a palette that transitions from
crystalline sage, frosty blues, and cosmic golds to the warmth of earthen
browns, fiery reds, and molten metallics. It culminates in a twilight of
shimmering sapphire, soft mauves, and stone hues - each tone reflecting a
distinct emotional frequency.

The silhouettes are sculpted with architectural
precision, echoing the geometry of sacred forms. Ethereal chiffons, lustrous
organzas, rich silk satins, and structured textiles come together in a
harmonious interplay of fluidity and strength. Signature techniques such as
precision quilting, intricate embroidery, custom digital prints, and delicate
laser-cut patterns elevate each ensemble into a work of art.

Speaking about the collection, Nivedita
shares, “Aurea is an
exploration of the invisible energies that define us. It is about recognising
the light within and around us our strength, our unity, and our individuality.
Through this collection, we wanted to create pieces that don’t just adorn, but
resonate.”

More than a collection, Aurea is a
celebration of confidence, craftsmanship, and the evolving identity of the
modern wearer. With a seamless blend of heritage and innovation, the House of
Nivedita continues to position Indian couture on the global stage - where every
creation is not just fashion, but a story of purpose and precision.

About House of Nivedita
The House of Nivedita is a globally celebrated luxury couture label known for
its distinctive blend of Indian artistry and contemporary silhouettes. With a
commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, the brand empowers over 300
artisans and continues to shape the future of design through its ateliers and
flagship presence in India.

<description><![CDATA[ Bhubaneswar  : ODM Educational Group today announced that 57
of its students have successfully cleared JEE (Main) 2026 and qualified for JEE
Advanced examination. The qualifiers represent three campuses within the ODM
group, with 52 students from ODM Public School (OPS), 4 from ODM Global School
(OGS), and 1 from ODM International School, Angul
(OIS), reflecting a culture of academic excellence that runs consistently
across the entire institution.

Beyond the top ranks, a
significant number of students from across ODM campuses delivered commendable
performances, with many achieving high percentiles and securing eligibility for
JEE Advanced. The collective achievement reflects the depth of preparation
across batches and the strong academic pipeline nurtured within the
institution.

Swayam Prakash Sethy of ODM Public School led
the institution’s results, securing an All India Category Rank of 35 in JEE
(Main) 2026, placing him among the top performers nationally in his category.
His 99.87% percentile across both sessions reflects remarkable consistency and
depth of preparation. Vedant Verma followed closely with a remarkable 99.90
percentile, achieving near-perfect scores across all three subjects. Armaan
Kamal Patra secured 99.86 percentile, completing a strong trio at the top of
ODM’s results. Notably, sixteen students from the school have secured above the
99 percentile.

The success is
attributed to a structured preparation ecosystem that includes concept-driven
teaching, regular mock assessments, personalised mentoring, and continuous
academic feedback. Students are guided through a rigorous yet supportive
learning process designed to strengthen conceptual clarity and exam
temperament.

Commenting on the
results, Dr Satyabrata Minaketan, Chairman of ODM Educational Group, said:
&quot;ODMians have performed with exceptional consistency. This is a result
that fills every member of the ODM family with genuine pride. But I want to say
something clearly: at ODM, every student is a valued asset. The students whose
names appear at the top of this list matter to us deeply, and so does every
student who worked hard and gave this examination everything they had. We are
proud of all of them, without exception.”

Mr Swoyan Satyendu, CEO
of ODM Educational Group, added: &quot;Results like these do not
happen by chance. They are the outcome of a deliberate, student-centric
approach to preparation, one built on concept clarity, personalised mentoring,
and honest, ongoing assessment. To see students from across the ODM schools all
contributing to this result tells us that ODM&#039;s academic culture is not the
product of any single campus. It is part of who we are as a group. We
congratulate every student who qualified, and we remain equally proud of every
student who was part of this journey.&quot;

The JEE (Main) result
2026 highlights ODM Educational Group&#039;s continued performance in national
competitive examinations, driven by its structured academic framework,
concept-based instruction, and sustained student mentoring across campuses.

<description><![CDATA[ Noida, April 20, 2026 : Ciffly Pvt. Ltd., an AI solutions and workflow automation
company, is positioning itself within the emerging field of multi-agent
artificial intelligence systems, focusing on building coordinated AI agent
frameworks designed to help enterprises automate and scale complex operations.

The company, founded and led by CEO Khushi Pandey, is
working on what it describes as a shift in enterprise AI adoption—from
standalone AI tools to structured systems of AI agents operating in
coordination, often referred to as “AI teams.”

According to the company, this approach is aimed at enabling
organisations to move beyond task-based automation and instead adopt end-to-end
intelligent workflows managed through interconnected AI systems supervised by
human operators.

SHIFT FROM TOOLS TO AI AGENT SYSTEMS

Ciffly’s core positioning is built around the idea that the
next phase of artificial intelligence in business will be defined by
multi-agent systems rather than isolated tools.

The company stated that businesses are increasingly
exploring AI-driven systems where multiple specialised agents handle different
functions such as operations, analysis, communication, and process
automation—working together to execute workflows with minimal manual
intervention.

Ciffly emphasises that its solutions are designed to help
organisations reduce operational complexity, improve efficiency, and scale
processes without proportional increases in headcount.

ENTERPRISE FOCUS AND GLOBAL EXPOSURE

The company said it has engaged with enterprise-level
clients, including work involving a global financial organisation, where it
contributed to workflow automation systems powered by AI agents.

While the company did not disclose specific client details,
it noted that its deployments are focused on high-complexity operational
environments where automation and structured decision flows are critical.

FOUNDER’S PERSPECTIVE

Speaking on the evolving role of artificial intelligence in
enterprises, Ciffly CEO Khushi Pandey said AI should be viewed as an
augmentation layer rather than a replacement for human capability.

“Artificial intelligence should augment human
decision-making and productivity, not replace it. The future of work will be
defined by humans managing intelligent systems of AI agents that execute complex
workflows collaboratively,” Pandey said.

She further added that the shift from manual processes to
intelligent automation represents a structural change in how businesses will
operate over the next decade.

BROADER VISION

Ciffly believes that India is transitioning from being
primarily a global IT services hub to becoming a contributor in foundational AI
system design and deployment.

The company stated that emerging startups in India are
increasingly building solutions for global markets, particularly in areas such
as AI orchestration, automation systems, and enterprise intelligence platforms.

Ciffly added that its long-term vision is to build scalable
AI agent infrastructure that can be deployed across industries including
finance, operations, and enterprise services.

“AI agents will redefine how businesses operate—and
companies like Ciffly are working toward building that future,” the company
said.

ABOUT CIFFLY PVT. LTD.

Ciffly Pvt. Ltd. is an AI solutions company focused on
workflow automation and multi-agent artificial intelligence systems. The
company develops AI-driven architectures designed to help enterprises
streamline operations, automate processes, and scale efficiently through
coordinated AI systems.

<title>International Students Need Support, Not Uncertainty: A Message from Student Union Ind&#45;Aus</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/international-students-need-support-not-uncertainty-a-message-from-student-union-ind-aus</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/international-students-need-support-not-uncertainty-a-message-from-student-union-ind-aus</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Australia has long been known as a welcoming
destination for international students,

offering world-class education, multicultural
communities, and strong career opportunities.

However, in recent times, many students are
facing growing challenges from rising living

costs to visa uncertainties and work
restrictions.

 

As President of Student Union Ind-Aus, Gurjinder
Singh Gavy believes it is important to raise the voice of students and
ensure their concerns are heard at every level.

 

International students contribute billions of
dollars to the Australian economy each year. They also strengthen communities,
bring cultural diversity, and build long-term ties between Australia and
countries like India and around the world. Despite this, many students are
struggling with high rents, limited work hours, and confusion around visa
policies. Some students are working long hours just to pay rent. Others face
delays in visa processing, uncertainty about future pathways, and mental stress
due to financial pressure and isolation.

 

The Student Union Ind-Aus has identified
several key concerns raised by students across different states:

• Rapidly increasing rental prices in major
cities

• Difficulty finding safe and affordable
accommodation

• Limited work hours despite high living
expenses

• Exploitation in some workplaces

• Mental health challenges and social
isolation

• Confusion around new visa rules and policy
changes

 

These issues are not just personal struggles;
they affect students’ academic performance,

well-being, and prospects. When young
individuals carry emotional, financial, or social

burdens, it becomes increasingly difficult for
them to concentrate on their studies,

participate actively in class, or maintain
consistent attendance. Stress and anxiety can reduce

motivation, weaken memory retention, and
ultimately lead to declining grades. Over time,

these academic setbacks may create a cycle of
frustration and self-doubt, making it even

harder for students to regain confidence in
their abilities.

 

Beyond academics, such challenges also impact
students’ overall well-being. Persistent pressure can lead to mental health
concerns, strained relationships, and a sense of isolation.

If left unaddressed, these struggles may
influence career choices, limit opportunities, and shape long-term aspirations
in unintended ways. “Supporting students through guidance, counselling, and a
nurturing environment is therefore not just helpful—it is essential to ensuring
they grow into resilient, capable individuals prepared to build a secure and
successful future.”

 

Student Union Ind-Aus is urging universities,
state governments, and federal authorities to collaborate more closely to enhance
the overall experience of international students. 

The call to action focuses on improving access
to affordable student housing, ensuring fair and safe working conditions,
providing clearer visa policies with faster processing timelines, expanding
mental health and wellbeing services, and strengthening support programs for
new international students.

 

Australia’s strength as an education
destination depends on how it treats its students. A supportive environment
will attract genuine students and strengthen the country’s global reputation.

 

“International students come to Australia with
dreams — dreams of education, growth, and

a better future. As a society, the student
union Ind-Aus must ensure that these dreams are supported, not burdened by
uncertainty and hardship. The organisation stands with every student, and we
continue to advocate for fairness, dignity, and opportunity for all, says Gurjinder
Singh Gavy, President, Student Union Ind-Aus. 

 

About Student Union Ind-Aus

Student Union Ind-Aus is a student-led
organisation dedicated to support international students across Australia by
promoting cultural unity, student welfare, and fair opportunities. The
organisation is led by President Gurjinder Singh Gavy, supported by three board
members and a core team of around 100 active members, with a wider network of
more than 7,000 students connected across different states. 

 

Students associated with the organisation come
from every state of India, reflecting a diverse and inclusive national
representation. Student Union Ind-Aus works closely with students, community
groups, and institutions to address key challenges such as accommodation,
employment rights, visa concerns, and mental wellbeing. Its main support
services include airport pickup for new arrivals, job guidance, accommodation
assistance, and general settlement support. 

 

Through advocacy, awareness campaigns, and
practical initiatives, the organisation aims to create a safe, inclusive, and
supportive environment where international students can succeed academically,
socially, and professionally while building strong ties between Australia and
their home countries. ]]></description>

<title>Where Storytelling Meets Influence: Third Eye Blind Productions is Elevating Digital Brand Experiences</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/where-storytelling-meets-influence-third-eye-blind-productions-is-elevating-digital-brand-experiences</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/where-storytelling-meets-influence-third-eye-blind-productions-is-elevating-digital-brand-experiences</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In today’s digital era, where content is consumed and
forgotten quickly, brands are constantly on the edge to create communication
that not just gets attention but also drives real engagement. As audiences&#039;
perspectives change with time and platforms become more consumer-based, the
need for top-quality, culturally relevant, and ROI-focused content has never
scaled so much. 

Where storytelling, influence, and production intersect, Third Eye Blind Productions, a Mumbai-based production
house founded in 2016, is flipping the way brands approach content
creation and distribution.

With a successful blueprint in video production, as an
agency, the production house has evolved into a leading influencer marketing agency in Mumbai, expanding its horizon
across celebrity endorsements and talent management, thus
positioning itself as the best choice for brands looking for end-to-end
campaign execution.     

A Distinctive Approach towards Content.

Old-school content production often functions in silos with
separate teams looking after conceptualization, execution, and distribution.
Yet, in a creator-led digital ecosystem powered by creators and communities,
this siloed approach can reduce the impact.

Third Eye Blind Productions fills this void with stories
that drive reach and results. The agency focuses on producing visually stunning
content and also ensures it reaches the target audience through the right
voices. 

From conceptualization and scripting to post-production and
influencer-led distribution, the agency delivers end-to-end services tailored
for every brand. 

Explore some of our best campaigns for brands:
1. Upstox - Managed more than 500 influencers, providing end-to-end
service. 

2. Hindustan Times - Executed a campaign for Hindustan
Times, produced 200+
videos with 30+ creators, featuring trendy topics and multiple IPs. 

3. Happn - Captured the essence of modern dating with creative storytelling. 


Driving the Creator Economy Forward

The creator economy has fundamentally changed the way
brands communicate through different media. Consumers today trust creators and
influencers more than TV commercials; they need someone like them to persuade,
making influencer-led storytelling one of the best marketing techniques.

Identifying this rapid shift early, Third Eye Blind
Productions has built a high-impact network of influencers, digital creators,
and talent across categories. This empowers the agency to embed influencer-led
narratives into brand campaigns with ease, delivering content that
resonates deeply with audiences.

Be it working with micro-influencers for niche audiences or
working with celebrities for large-scale visibility, the agency taps into its
talent ecosystem to amplify the brand message.

Powering Brands with End-to-End Solutions 

Third Eye Blind Productions caters to diverse brand
requirements, making it a reliable partner for businesses across sectors. Our
services include:

●     
Video Production: Best-in-class ad films, corporate videos, and digital
content designed to capture attention, thus delivering high-quality video
production services in Mumbai.

●     
Influencer Marketing: Thoughtfully curated influencer campaigns that boost
engagement, earn trust, and improve brand recall value.

●     
Talent Management: A diverse creator network connecting brands with the right
faces for their campaigns.

●     
Celebrity Endorsements: Being one of the best houses providing
the best celebrity endorsement services, from onboarding to content production
and rollout.

This holistic approach helps brands go beyond content to
create impactful campaigns that resonate with their target audience.

From Visibility to Measurable Impact

In a world flooded with content, visibility isn’t the only
thing that matters. Brands need communication that converts attention into
measurable impact. Third Eye Blind Productions focuses on delivering service,
where every piece of communication is synced with the brand’s larger
perspective. By blending creativity with strategy, the agency ensures content
is not only aesthetically pleasing but also fulfills business goals.

This crystal clear &amp; creative approach has helped the
production house-cum-agency build credibility among brands looking for 360°
campaign services. Leading publications have also recognized the agency’s
growing impact. 

Adapting to the New Consumer Mindset.

Today’s audience isn’t just scrolling; they’re filtering.

They don’t want Ads. 

They want real, relatable, story-driven content that feels
like it belongs on their feed, not like it is interrupting it.

That’s exactly where most traditional marketing falls
short.

At Third Eye Blind Productions, the approach flips.

Instead of forcing Brand messaging in formats, the content
is designed for the platform first and the audience second - always.

●      Short form that actually hooks
within 3 secs.

●     
Influencer-led storytelling that feels organic.

●     
Long-form branded content that people choose to watch.

 

Because in
today’s world,

If it doesn’t
feel native, it doesn’t work.

The Power of Integration

Most Brands today are stuck juggling:

●     
Production house

●     
Influencer agency

●     
Talent managers

Result?

Delayed execution. Broken communication. Inconsistent
storytelling.

Third Eye Blind Productions solves this with one clear
advantage - Integration.

Everything lives under one roof:

●     
Production.

●     
Influencer marketing.

●     
Talent management.

●     
Celebrity collaborations.

This means:

●     
Faster turnarounds.

●     
Strong brand voice consistency.

●     
Seamless execution from ideation to distribution.

No back-and-forth chaos.

Just a clean, cohesive storytelling that performs.

 

Building for
What’s Next.

 

Content isn’t
just marketing anymore; it is Brand Identity.

 

And as the
digital space evolves, only those who can blend Creativity + Strategy +
Execution + Distribution will stay ahead.

 

Third Eye Blind
Productions is built exactly for that shift.

 

With a strong
focus on:

●     
Audience first thinking.

●     
Cultural relevance.

●     
Constant experimentation.

 

The agency is not
just adapting,

It’s actively
shaping how brands show up in the digital world.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, April 22nd, 2026 : Skechers, The Comfort
Technology Company®, accelerates its cricket journey with the signing of
Suryakumar Yadav—one of the most accomplished and influential batsmen of the
Indian Cricket Team and recent captain of the 2026 T20 World Cup champions.
Renowned for his consistency, composure, and match-defining performances,
Suryakumar Yadav is now playing in Skechers Cricket footwear and will be
featured in the brand’s marketing campaigns supporting cricket and other
performance footwear collections.

Speaking on the
association, TEAM INDIA’S T20 WORLD CUP CAPTAIN, SURYAKUMAR YADAV said, “At
the highest level of cricket, comfort plays a critical role in helping you stay
focused and consistent. Skechers’ approach to combining comfort with
performance truly stands out and that’s what made the brand a natural fit for
me. Whether it’s match day or training, their footwear supports the demands of
the game, and I’m excited to be part of the Skechers family.”

RAHUL VIRA, CEO OF SKECHERS
SOUTH ASIA PVT. LTD., said, “Suryakumar Yadav embodies the spirit of modern Indian
cricket – dynamic, resilient and fearless. After captaining Team India with
confidence and clarity to victory at the World Cup this year, he brings the
same energy and intent that defines Skechers’ approach to performance and
innovation. His journey, driven by movement, adaptability and self-belief,
aligns strongly with our roster of elite players like Jasprit Bumrah, as well
as our ongoing association as Official Kit Sponsor for the Mumbai Indians.
These partnerships illustrate our commitment to cricket by creating footwear
that enables every athlete to perform at their best.”

Born in Mumbai, Suryakumar
Yadav at age 35 has established himself as a dynamic right-handed T20 batter
renowned for his 360-degree shot-making and explosive strike rates. Nicknamed
“SKY”, Yadav rose through Mumbai domestic club cricket ranks, captaining them
in Ranji Trophy, before reaching Indian Premier League stardom after signing
with the Mumbai Indians in 2012. He also spent four seasons with Kolkata Knight
Riders before returning to the Indians in 2018 where he continues today.
Internationally, since his 2021 T20I debut, he has been key to India&#039;s T20
gameplay and earned back-to-back ICC T20I Cricketer of the Year accolades
(2022-23). SKY captains India&#039;s T20I side, boasting a stellar record, including
winning the World Cup earlier this year. His calm demeanor and tactical acumen
have solidified India&#039;s white-ball dominance.

With this announcement,
Suryakumar Yadav joins a strong Skechers roster in India that includes
cricketers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Ishan Kishan and Yastika Bhatia,
along with legendary forward Sunil Chhetri for Skechers Football.

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Strengthens its private brand portfolio with
the new launch

Mumbai, India – April
22, 2026 : JSW One Platforms, a tech-first B2B
e-commerce marketplace serving India’s manufacturing and construction MSMEs,
today announced the launch of One Helix Pipes &amp; Tubes, its latest private
brand designed to deliver high-quality, reliable steel pipes and tubes for
industrial and construction applications.

The launch marks
another step in JSW One Platforms’ strategy to expand its private brand
portfolio, aimed at providing Individual House Builders (IHBs), MSMEs &amp;
industrial buyers with trusted materials supported by strong supply chains and
competitive pricing.

India’s steel pipes and
tubes market is estimated at ~11 million tonnes annually, driven by demand from
infrastructure projects, construction activity, water distribution networks,
and industrial applications. According to a study by Grand View Research,
the sector is projected to reach USD 12.8 billion by 2033, expanding at a
compound annual growth rate of 7.1% between 2026 and 2033, supported by
continued urbanisation and government-led infrastructure investments.

Against this backdrop,
One Helix Pipes &amp; Tubes aims to address the needs of customers seeking
consistent quality, dependable supply, and transparent pricing across
construction, infrastructure, engineering, and fabrication sectors.

Parth Jindal, Chairman,
JSW One Platforms, said, &quot;India’s infrastructure growth
is highlighting persistent inefficiencies in how construction materials are
sourced, particularly in fragmented categories where consistency and
reliability remain uneven. The next phase of expansion will require more
organised, transparent, and scalable supply ecosystems. By combining
manufacturing strength with a technology-led distribution model, JSW One is
working to address this shift. The launch of One Helix Pipes &amp; Tubes
reflects our effort to bring greater standardisation and trust to critical
material categories.&quot;

Initially available in
the southern states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu,
One Helix Pipes &amp; Tubes will cater to MSMEs, IHBs, distributors,
fabricators, contractors, and EPC companies. The product range includes ERW
structural hollow sections in rectangular, square, and round profiles, with plans
to expand the portfolio across India over time.

Gaurav Sachdeva, Joint
Managing Director &amp; CEO, JSW One Platforms,
added, &quot;Pipes and tubes remain a category where customers often face
inconsistencies in quality, pricing, and availability. With One Helix Pipes
&amp; Tubes, we aim to reduce that uncertainty by integrating assured
manufacturing, tighter supply-chain control and platform-led distribution. Our
focus is to deepen such categories, so procurement becomes more predictable and
efficient for MSMEs, contractors, and industrial buyers.&quot;

Products under One
Helix Pipes &amp; Tubes will be manufactured using 100% primary steel
hot-rolled coils and will conform to stringent quality norms, including BIS
standards such as IS 4923 and IS 1161.

The brand will leverage
JSW One’s digital marketplace and supply chain network to provide consistent
availability, quality assurance and timely delivery across markets.

JSW One currently
serves 90,000+ MSMEs and businesses across India, providing access to
industrial materials, financing solutions, and supply chain services through
its digital platform.

About
JSW One Platforms

and manufacturing MSMEs with a comprehensive suite of offerings ranging from
procurement and credit to fulfilment and private brands. The platform leverages

<title>ChargeZone Marks One Year of SHWA, Turning EV Charging Stations into Public Art Spaces Across India</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/chargezone-marks-one-year-of-shwa-turning-ev-charging-stations-into-public-art-spaces-across-india</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/chargezone-marks-one-year-of-shwa-turning-ev-charging-stations-into-public-art-spaces-across-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 10
installations live across key corridors, with 50+ planned in FY26, embedding
public art into India’s growing EV infrastructure

India,
April 22, 2026 : On the occasion of Earth Day, SHWA, the
public art platform transforming EV charging stations into cultural spaces,
marks its first anniversary. Initiated by ChargeZone, one of India’s leading
electric vehicle charging infrastructure companies, SHWA reflects a growing
commitment to integrating sustainability with art and public engagement.  Over the past year, 10 SHWA installations
have gone live  and over 50 installations
planned in FY26, including murals and redesigned instruction boards, the
platform is expanding from standalone artworks to a broader, network-led
intervention across EV corridors.

While
ChargeZone continues to scale its EV charging network to support cleaner
mobility, SHWA acts as the experience layer across these sites—anchoring them
in local culture and ecological context, and making sustainability more visible
through art and place. Aligned with the spirit of Earth Day, which highlights
the need for more conscious engagement with the environment, SHWA translates
environmental themes into everyday infrastructure

Spanning multiple
states and high-traffic routes, SHWA is gradually building a distributed public
art presence across India’s highway network, rather than being limited to a
single city or site. Through large-scale murals and installations, SHWA
integrates themes of biodiversity, water conservation and food systems
into charging hubs, turning them into spaces that reflect local ecology and
regional identity while creating meaningful engagement for travellers.

The initiative is currently
live across key corridors including the Hyderabad–Vijayawada route
(Suryapet, Pullur, Rajahmundry), Chennai–Bengaluru (Vellore, Chittoor,
Krishnagiri, Ambur), Chennai–Villupuram (Villupuram), Vadodara–Bharuch/Mumbai
(Karjan), and Delhi–Chandigarh (Ambala)—creating a growing network of
charging sites where infrastructure, sustainability and public art come
together.

The initiative brings
together a set of emerging artists and collectives whose practices engage with
ecology, identity and public space, including 
Aravani Artist Collective, Mounica Tata, Elwin Charly, Trespassers, A
Kill 108 Collective, Sadhna Prasad, Paperplane Studio, Neha Shetty and Sayan
Mukherjee,with each installation developed in response to its local
context, surrounding ecology and community narratives, 

Commenting on the
initiative, Devbrat Hariyani said, “As EV infrastructure expands, we
see an opportunity to build spaces that go beyond functionality. Over the past
year, SHWA has helped us integrate art and sustainability into our charging
network in a way that reflects local contexts. Through SHWA, we are integrating
art and sustainability into our charging network to reflect local contexts and
create more meaningful public spaces. With plans to scale significantly, we aim
to make our stations not just accessible, but culturally relevant and
environmentally conscious.”

By blending infrastructure
with culture and sustainability, SHWA reflects a new approach to EV
ecosystems in India—where charging stations double as public spaces that
inform, engage, and connect communities.

About ChargeZone

ChargeZone is India’s largest EV charging network and among the few
global players with fully integrated tech and engineering capabilities to build
and scale high-speed charging networks for electric cars, buses, and trucks.
Headquartered in Vadodara, Gujarat, the company specializes in high-speed,
smart-grid-enabled charging infrastructure across enterprise and retail
segments. With over 13,500 charging points at 1,200+ locations in
India and the UAE, ChargeZone is on a mission to establish one million
charging points, driving India’s EV revolution through scalable,
interoperable, and sustainable infrastructure. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Comprises of 3 BHK Fully Air conditioned
residences on 1.03 acres in Sector 88A, priced at ₹2.45 crore each 

●       
The company upholds a strong commitment to
100% ahead-of-schedule delivery, with a proven track record across 1.68 million
sq. ft., as it continues to expand its premium footprint in Haryana. 

Gurugram 21 April 2026 : Emperium Group, Haryana’s most trusted realty brand, announced
the launch of its newest residential development, Emperium Titan, situated
in Sector 88A on the Dwarka Expressway. Designed to set a new benchmark for
ultra premium living, the 1.03-acre land parcel has an estimated top
line revenue potential of ₹170 crore. 

The project features a
low density configuration of fully air conditioned 3BHK apartments, each
measuring 1,906 sq. ft., along with 20 high street retail units.
Emperium has implemented a flat pricing structure for the project, with all
residential units fixed at ₹2.45 crore. 

Mr
Ravi Saund, Founder &amp; Director of Emperium Group,
discussed the thinking behind Emperium Titan. &quot;We&#039;ve always worked with
three principles at Emperium: Apnapan, Sustainability, and Innovation. They
drive our decisions on design, construction, and delivery timelines. For Titan,
we&#039;re using Mivan construction technology because it gives us better
structural quality and helps us stick to deadlines. But the bigger goal isn&#039;t
just good engineering, it&#039;s creating homes where people feel they belong. We
want spaces that last, that are legacy worthy. That&#039;s what Titan represents for
us. 

The launch of Titan
significantly strengthens Emperium&#039;s footprint in Haryana. Since its inception,
the company has maintained a 100% before-time delivery record, handing
over 1.68 million sq. ft. of real estate across 14+ projects to over
6,000 residents in Gurugram, Panipat, and Yamuna Nagar. Following the Titan
launch, Emperium is targeting the delivery of an additional 3.23 million sq.
ft. of development over the next three years. 

Emperium
Titan stands out as an IGBC Platinum-rated development, the highest
green building certification in India. Solar panels power the common areas.
There&#039;s rainwater harvesting, EV charging infrastructure, and low-VOC materials
throughout to keep the air quality decent indoors. Project amenities include Club
360, featuring a gym, yoga studio, pool, pickleball court, rooftop running
track, and a restaurant. The development is equipped with 24/7 security and
full power backup. 

Sector 88A is right on
a corridor that&#039;s seen heavy infrastructure investment ready. Emperium Titan’s
location advantage is of great value to the buyer. You can reach Cyber City or
the airport in 16-20 minutes. Medanta is 10 minutes away. The proposed metro
station is 8 minutes out.

<description><![CDATA[  National,
20th April, 2026: Titan Watches, India’s most iconic watchmaker
furthers India’s ascent in the world of fine watchmaking with the launch of its
new sub-brand, Zero Hour. Conceived for extreme conditions, the performance
sports segment is defined by precision-driven timepieces where durability,
reliability and technical integrity are non-negotiable. 

A
term often associated with the exact moment an operation or mission is set into
motion, Zero Hour captures the decisive point between preparation and action,
where timing is absolute and permits no margin for error. The philosophy finds
expression in the launch of the 500M professional Diver’s Automatic
Watch unveiled against the stunning backdrop of the Arabian Sea in Goa. Born
at the intersection of precision engineering, enduring performance and the
spirit of exploration, the 500M professional Diver’s Automatic Watch defined
this new chapter.

The
collection features twelve distinct timepieces each crafted to perform across
depths ranging from 100M to 500M. 

At
the pinnacle of the collections’ depth capability lies the Titan 500M
Professional Diver’s timepiece. Built as a true tool watch for extreme underwater
performance, the 500M Professional Diver’s watch meets ISO 6425, the global
standard for professional dive watches while embodying Titan’s growing mastery
in mechanical horology. At the core lies Titan’s in-house automatic Calibre
7AC0, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). Regulated to an
accuracy of –10/+30 seconds per day, the calibre offers a reliable
performance even in the most challenging conditions.

Beyond
the surface where pressure intensifies and precision is paramount, the Titan
500M Professional Diver finds its form. At 15.5 mm in thickness, the case is
constructed from Grade 2 Titanium, built to withstand the rigours of
deep diving while retaining a refined equilibrium on the wrist. Every element
is calibrated to ensure uncompromised sealing and structural integrity. 

A
120-click unidirectional bezel secured by an Aqua Lock mechanism,
ensures accurate time tracking even under prolonged underwater pressure. The sapphire
crystal insert lends resilience while the dial protected by a sapphire
crystal with triple-layer anti-reflective coating, remains clear and
composed in shifting light.

In
these environments, legibility is crucial. This is achieved through bold
hands treated with Super-LumiNova X1 grade lume which come alive
with a distinctive blue-green glow, ensuring clarity that persists long after
the light begins to fade.

Extending
the language of the case, the timepiece is paired with Grade 2 Titanium
bracelet defined by links inspired by the Titan logo. An additional FKM strap
introduces a more flexible, relaxed expression. Both bracelet and strap are
equipped with a quick-release system, enabling effortless interchangeability.



Speaking at the launch, Rahul Shukla,
Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Titan Watches, Titan Company Limited, said, “For
over four decades, Titan has shaped Indian watchmaking, through design,
craftsmanship and a spirit of innovation. With the introduction of Zero Hour,
we take a decisive step into the sports and performance watch segment,
expanding the boundaries of what we create and stand for. As Titan’s first
500-meter automatic diver, built to ISO 6425 standards, this made in India for
the world timepiece reflects our growing capability in mechanical watchmaking
and high precision engineering. It is an important milestone in our ongoing
pursuit to position Indian horology among the world’s leading watchmaking
traditions”

Titan Watches and Professional Association of
Diving Instructors (PADI) have collaborated to bring together the brand’s
design and watchmaking innovation with PADI’s global authority in diving,
adding authenticity, cultural relevance and aspiration to Titan’s Diver&#039;s
portfolio. With access to a vast diving ecosystem, expertise, and community,
the collaboration unfolds through immersive, experience-led storytelling that
captures the spirit of the ocean, adventure, and exploration, resonating with
not just divers but anyone inspired by that mindset. 

Limited to 500 units each across two variants
of the Titan 500M Professional Diver’s timepiece, the collection is envisioned
for collectors, connoisseurs and those Ready for the Unknown. The 500M
limited edition watches are priced between INR 75,995 – INR 77,995 and the 300M
Automatic, 200M and 100M watches are starting from INR 15,795. The
collection is available at Titan World stores, large format retail
destinations, premium watch retailers, e-commerce platforms and online at www.titan.co.in

<title>Beyond Renewables: How Motivus is Hard&#45;Coding Circularity into India’s Energy Grid</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-renewables-how-motivus-is-hard-coding-circularity-into-indias-energy-grid</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-renewables-how-motivus-is-hard-coding-circularity-into-indias-energy-grid</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  New
Delhi - 21st April, 2026: India’s renewable energy expansion has
reached over 200 GW of installed capacity as of 2025, yet persistent challenges
like urban heat islands, air pollution, water stress, and mounting battery
waste highlight that generation alone falls short. For a nation of 1.5 billion
facing some of the planet&#039;s most acute climate pressures, the path forward
demands data-driven decarbonisation—a practical, economically sound approach
that integrates measurement, circularity, and infrastructure to deliver
measurable results without straining balance sheets.

Motivus,
a climate-tech firm incubated at IIT Guwahati, is addressing this challenge
through a three-layered approach to sustainable energy. It begins with data and
insights, where advanced carbon accounting and ESG intelligence platforms
convert emissions data into clear, actionable inputs for decision-making.
Building on this, the second layer focuses on circularity in energy storage,
led by its patented battery regeneration technology that extends asset life and
reduces waste. The third layer brings these efforts together through on-ground
infrastructure integration, where modular energy systems combine renewables
with intelligent storage to deliver reliable, efficient power solutions.
Together, these three layers create a connected framework that moves from
measurement to optimisation and finally to real-world implementation.

At the heart lies
Motivus&#039;s internationally patented AI/ML-enabled battery regeneration
technology, which restores lead-acid batteries without opening, dismantling, or
adding chemicals. By targeting hardened lead sulphate crystals and reactivating
material, the process extends battery lifespans with warranty-backed
performance, reduces hazardous waste streams, minimises fresh lead extraction,
achieves up to 80% emission-free regeneration, and sidesteps the need for
scarce mineral mining. This creates tangible economic value—lower replacement
costs and optimised assets—while tackling India&#039;s massive installed base of
lead-acid batteries in real time.

Completing
the framework is green infrastructure integration through modular energy
ecosystems that pair renewables with intelligent storage, optimised for Tier 2,
Tier 3 cities, and rural areas. These solutions support critical applications
like telecom towers, semi-urban healthcare, MSMEs, agricultural irrigation,
e-rickshaws, off-grid solar setups, and domestic backups. Unlike lithium-based
alternatives, which struggle with high costs, heat sensitivity, import
dependencies, and infrastructure demands in Indian conditions, Motivus
leverages existing lead-acid infrastructure to enable energy
sovereignty—cutting capital expenditure on new procurement, operational
expenses via extended lifecycles and digital monitoring, import risks,
recycling burdens, and waste generation.

In
this context, initiatives like the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana—launched in
February 2024 with a ₹75,021 crore outlay to provide up to 300 units of free
monthly electricity to 1 crore households—stand to benefit significantly from
such asset preservation technologies. By improving battery reliability,
extending lifespan, and reducing maintenance challenges, Motivus’s solutions
can help ensure more consistent and dependable power for rural households,
strengthening trust in rooftop solar systems and enhancing long-term adoption.

“India’s
climate challenge isn’t about installing more panels; it’s about execution
efficiency, asset longevity, and turning sustainability into a financial
advantage for businesses and communities alike. Motivus is proving that
circularity can regenerate batteries, restore economic viability, and power
energy sovereignty across rural Bharat—bridging policy ambition with on-ground
reality in a way that strengthens balance sheets, not burdens them,” said Mr. Probal
Ghosal, Chairman &amp; Mentor - Motivus Innovation; Founder &amp; Chairman,
Ghosal Catalyst Ventures (GCV); Co-Founder &amp; Former Chairman - Ujala Cygnus
Healthcare.

This
model reframes the energy transition: lithium storage often requires heavy
upfront investments and specialised support, yet falters in high-temperature
environments. By contrast, Motivus reduces Cap-Ex through regeneration and
annuity models, trims Op-Ex with AI oversight, and avoids import-heavy
chains—making green progress accessible for cost-sensitive sectors. As global
climate finance hits $10 trillion by 2030 and ESG pressures mount, such
innovations signal how India can achieve net-zero goals through smarter
utilisation, not just expansion. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Chennai/Mumbai, April 21, 2026: In a landmark political
development that promises to reshape the contours of Tamil Nadu politics, the
Republican Party of India (Bhimrao Ambedkar), deeply rooted in the
revolutionary ideals of Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, has forged a historic
tripartite alliance with the All India Puratchi Thalaivar Makkal Munnetra
Kazhagam led by V.K. Sasikala and the faction of Pattali Makkal Katchi (Ayya
PMK) led by veteran leader Dr. S. Ramadoss. This powerful coming together of
forces committed to social justice is set to contest the Tamil Nadu Legislative
Assembly Elections scheduled for 23rd April 2026, offering a bold and inclusive
alternative to the people of Tamil Nadu.

Guided by the timeless principles of Babasaheb Dr. B.R.
Ambedkar; liberty, equality, and fraternity, this alliance seeks to annihilate
caste-based discrimination, empower the marginalized, and build a society where
every individual enjoys dignity and opportunity. Ambedkar’s vision of “educate,
agitate, and organize” resonates strongly in this partnership, as the parties
have come together not merely for electoral gains but to create a new social
and political equation that uplifts Dalits, backward classes, Vanniyars, and
all deprived sections of Tamil society. The alliance stands as a living
embodiment of Ambedkar’s dream of a casteless and just India, now being
realized on the soil of Tamil Nadu through unified action and shared commitment
to people’s welfare.

Bhimrao Yashwantrao Ambedkar, grandson of Nation Builder Dr
Babasaheb Ambedkar and the architect of this alliance, expressed his deep
satisfaction with the arrangement and stated, “As the representative of
Republican Party of India, I bring the proud legacy of Babasaheb Dr. B.R.
Ambedkar to Tamil Nadu. We have found strong common ground with both the
parties led by V.K. Sasikala and Dr. S. Ramadoss. I am truly excited to promote
Ambedkar’s core values of justice, equality, and empowerment through this
alliance. This partnership is a visionary achievement of our political ambition
and will prove to be a historic turning point in the politics of Tamil Nadu.”

The Republican Party of India (Bhimrao Ambedkar) will field
two dedicated and experienced leaders as its candidates in this crucial
election. K. Raja, General Secretary of the party, will contest from Tirumayam
Assembly Constituency (No. 181), while K. Thangaraj, President of RPI Tamil
Nadu, will contest from K.V. Kuppam Assembly Constituency (No. 45). Both
candidates bring with them a strong grassroots connection, unwavering
dedication to Ambedkarite ideology, and a proven track record of advocating for
the rights of the oppressed. Their participation underscores the party’s
resolve to carry the voice of the voiceless directly into the Tamil Nadu
Legislative Assembly.

V.K. Sasikala, leader of the All India Puratchi Thalaivar
Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam, expressed her vision for the alliance by stating, “We
are forging a new path of unity and people’s welfare. This alliance with RPI
and Dr. Ramadoss will ensure that every working hand gets employment and no one
is forced to migrate from villages to cities in search of jobs. Together, we
will build a Tamil Nadu where social justice and development walk hand in
hand.”

Dr. S. Ramadoss, the founder of Pattali Makkal Katchi and a
tireless champion of backward communities, particularly the Vanniyars,
highlighted the deeper purpose of this collaboration: “For decades, I have
fought for the rights of backward sections and social justice. This alliance
represents a powerful union committed to reservation, equity, and a liquor-free
Tamil Nadu. We will work tirelessly to create a prosperous state that truly
uplifts every section of society and moves beyond empty promises.”

Echoing Babasaheb Ambedkar’s call for political power as the
master key to social progress, K. Raja declared, “This is far more than an
electoral understanding, it is a historic social and political awakening.
Inspired by Babasaheb’s ideals of equality and justice, we will take the
concerns of Dalits, backward classes, and the deprived straight to the Tamil
Nadu Assembly. We appeal to all justice-loving citizens of Tamil Nadu to join
us in building a brighter, more equitable future.”

The alliance partners firmly believe that elections are not
won through announcements alone but through the active cooperation, support,
and participation of the people. They have called upon supporters across the
state to unite wholeheartedly and strengthen this front so that the dreams of
Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar can be turned into reality on Tamil soil.

This tripartite alliance is expected to significantly
influence the political landscape of Tamil Nadu by consolidating the votes and
aspirations of Dalit, backward, and Vanniyar communities. It offers a fresh,
principled alternative centered on employment generation, skill development,
caste annihilation, and inclusive growth; values that lie at the very heart of
Ambedkar’s philosophy.

Together, under the guiding light of Babasaheb Ambedkar’s
principles, the alliance marches forward with the resolve to create a Tamil
Nadu where liberty, equality, and fraternity are not mere words but lived
realities for every citizen.

For a Just, Equitable, and Inclusive Tamil Nadu

<title>Alive App Survey: 75% of Urban Consumers Turn to Local Experiences as Travel Costs Rise</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/alive-app-survey-75-of-urban-consumers-turn-to-local-experiences-as-travel-costs-rise</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/alive-app-survey-75-of-urban-consumers-turn-to-local-experiences-as-travel-costs-rise</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Rising
airfares and uncertainty push consumers toward local experiences, with 75%
actively opting for experiences and 35% spending more 

Bengaluru,
21 April 2026 : More than 75% of urban consumers are
engaging in local experiences this summer, with 1 in 3 increasing their
spending, according to a survey by Alive App, as rising airfares and
travel uncertainty reshape leisure behaviour in India.

The
survey also found that 67% of respondents reported higher travel costs compared
with last year, reinforcing growing cost pressures during the peak travel
season. Despite continued interest in travel, booking behaviour reflects
caution. About 34% of respondents said they have booked travel for the
March-May period, while 33% are still planning but have not yet booked,
indicating a wait-and-watch approach. Another 33% said they do not plan to
travel this season.

The
findings come at a time when India’s aviation sector is witnessing elevated
fares and operational pressures. Airlines have been grappling with higher input
costs, including aviation turbine fuel, while capacity constraints and
peak-season demand continue to impact pricing and availability.

Globally,
trends highlighted by the International Air Transport Association point to
ongoing demand-supply imbalances and cost pressures across the aviation
ecosystem, contributing to fare volatility and periodic disruptions.

Against
this backdrop, the ‘experience economy’, spanning events, activities,
wellness and immersive leisure, has been expanding globally, as consumers
increasingly prioritise flexible, experience-led spending over traditional
travel formats.

Alive’s
survey suggests this shift is now playing out in India in a meaningful way. As
travel becomes more expensive and less predictable, consumers are increasingly
opting for alternatives closer to home. The survey found that 39% of
respondents are engaging in more local experiences than before, while 36% are
maintaining similar levels of participation.

This shift is also
reflected in how consumers are allocating their budgets. About 35% of
respondents said they are spending more on local experiences, indicating a
gradual reallocation of discretionary leisure spending.

Among
the most preferred formats are adventure and outdoor activities and cultural
experiences, highlighting demand for immersive and social formats that
replicate elements of travel within urban environments.

Importantly,
the shift is not driven by disruption alone. Respondents cited convenience
(22%) and time constraints (19.8%) alongside high travel costs (21.6%) and
flight uncertainty (20%) as key factors influencing their choices.

The
findings point to a broader evolution in leisure consumption, where local
experiences are increasingly becoming a core part of how urban consumers plan
their time and spending.

The
survey was conducted among five lakh urban consumers across Bengaluru,
Hyderabad and Goa in March-April 2026.

Supporting
Quote

Vivek
Kumar, Founder, Alive App

“Travel
demand remains strong, but consumers are becoming more flexible in how they
plan their leisure. Rising costs and unpredictability are prompting more people
to explore high-quality experiences closer to home. Importantly, this shift is
not only disruption-led. Convenience, time flexibility and the growing
availability of curated experiences are playing an equally important role,
indicating a more structural change in how urban consumers engage with
leisure.”

<title>Antas 2 Jaipur Premiere Lights Up Raj Mandir Cinema</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/antas-2-jaipur-premiere-lights-up-raj-mandir-cinema</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/antas-2-jaipur-premiere-lights-up-raj-mandir-cinema</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Image: Star Cast at Raj MandirJaipur, April 17, 2026 (SCNWire): The much-awaited Hindi film Antas 2 made a grand impression at its star-studded premiere held at the iconic Raj Mandir Cinema in Jaipur on Friday evening. The historic theatre echoed with thunderous applause and enthusiastic cheers as the audience warmly embraced the film’s heartfelt narrative.
Produced under the banner of Sonam Tele Films, Antas 2 is the sequel to the successful first installment. The premiere screening turned into a memorable celebration of cinema, with prominent guests from the film industry and Rajasthan’s social circles in attendance. The hall was filled with excitement as viewers reacted positively to the on-screen chemistry and emotional storytelling.
Director Surendra Swami, Producer Suresh Kumar, lead actress Shreya Khanna, actor Alok Bhardwaj, writer Mahesh Runiwal, along with Hinodun MLA Anita Jatav, ACP Amjad Khan, and noted Rajasthani actors including Raj Jangid, Shravan Sagar, RK Sara, Rajveer Gurjar Bassi, Charan Singh Pathik, Radheshyam Piplawa, and Ganesh Maharaj graced the event.
For director Surendra Swami, this marks his first major cinematic venture. Speaking at the premiere, he expressed deep emotion: “The premiere of Antas 2 at Raj Mandir in Jaipur feels like a dream come true. Seeing the love and appreciation from Rajasthani stars and the audience has left me overwhelmed. This film will touch every heart. Our love story, shot on the streets of Jaipur, is ready to captivate viewers.”
The story of Antas 2 unfolds against the breathtaking backdrop of Rajasthan — the bustling streets of Jaipur, the serene lakes of Rajsamand, and the picturesque waters of Udaipur. It narrates a simple yet touching tale of love. Shreya Khanna plays a young woman who arrives in Jaipur in search of her beloved and crosses paths with a humble taxi driver, portrayed by Alok Bhardwaj. Impressed by his simplicity and sincerity, she gradually falls in love with him.
Audiences at the premiere particularly appreciated the natural chemistry between Shreya Khanna and Alok Bhardwaj. Building on the success of the original Antas, this sequel promises to deliver the same emotional connect with fresh charm.
Shreya Khanna shared her thoughts after the screening: “The energy at the Jaipur premiere was incredible. Meeting Rajasthani stars was truly an honour. The audience loved my character and the chemistry with Alok. Shooting in Jaipur taught me the real meaning of simplicity. Antas 2 is a milestone in my career.”
Alok Bhardwaj, who essayed the role of the ordinary taxi driver, said: “Portraying the simplicity of a common man was challenging, but it became a memorable experience under Surendra Sir’s guidance. Hearing appreciation from Rajasthani artists at Raj Mandir brought me immense joy. This is a story of an everyday person that will resonate with every heart.”
Producer Suresh Kumar reflected on the successful evening: “We are proud that Antas 2 received such wonderful support from Rajasthan’s cinema veterans. After the success of Antas, creating this sequel has been a matter of great pride for the team. We left no stone unturned in maintaining quality. The love of the audience remains our ultimate goal.”
Writer Mahesh Runiwal described the film as a beautiful fusion of Bollywood storytelling and Rajasthan’s rich cultural essence. He highlighted how the authentic locations played a vital role in bringing the narrative to life.
Guests at the premiere praised Surendra Swami’s clear vision and the natural performances delivered by the lead pair. Many noted that the film successfully captures the warmth and innocence of a pure love story.
Following the grand response at the Jaipur premiere, the team expressed confidence in the film’s wider appeal. Producer Suresh Kumar also reiterated the commitment to continue filmmaking in Rajasthan and to encourage local talent in the future.
The enthusiastic reception at Raj Mandir Cinema has set a positive tone ahead of Antas 2’s theatrical release. With its roots firmly in Rajasthan’s soil and culture, the film is poised to offer audiences a refreshing and emotionally engaging cinematic experience.
As the lights dimmed and the credits rolled, the sustained applause reflected the audience’s genuine appreciation for this simple, heartfelt tale of love. Antas 2 is now ready to win hearts across theatres nationwide.- (SCNWire) ]]></description>

<title>Pebbles Turn into Poetry: Rajkumar Gupta’s Heartwarming Stone Art Exhibition Ends Successfully at Jaipur’s Hawa Mahal</title>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/pebbles-turn-into-poetry-rajkumar-guptas-heartwarming-stone-art-exhibition-ends-successfully-at-jaipurs-hawa-mahal</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Jaipur: Ordinary stones, often overlooked in daily life, came alive with profound emotions at Rajkumar Gupta’s pebble art exhibition held at the historic Hawa Mahal in Jaipur. The two-day show, which concluded recently, left a lasting impression on art lovers and tourists alike by turning simple pebbles into vibrant narratives of love, motherhood, and human sensitivity.The exhibition, hosted in the Exhibition Hall at Hawa Mahal, featured more than 40 meticulously crafted pebble artworks. From morning 10 AM to evening 6 PM, visitors streamed in to witness how the artist had breathed life into these humble stones using colours and delicate brushwork. What struck everyone was the remarkable realism and emotional depth — many found it hard to believe at first glance that the pieces were created entirely from pebbles.Rajkumar Gupta, a legal professional by training, has pursued pebble art as a passionate medium of expression for several years. According to him, every stone carries within it an unspoken story and feeling; the artist’s role is simply to recognise and reveal it. This philosophy shone brightly through the displayed works.The exhibition beautifully captured universal human emotions. One of the most touching pieces portrayed the tender bond between a mother and child, with the innocent face of the baby resting in the mother’s lap. Viewers often paused emotionally before this artwork, their faces reflecting both warmth and a hint of nostalgia. Another standout creation depicted the expression of love, evoking memories of timeless romantic tales. A third piece explored the thoughtful introspection of a young mind navigating life’s complexities.What made the artworks truly special was the extraordinary level of detail. The stones were painted and arranged with such finesse that they appeared almost three-dimensional, drawing visitors into a quiet, reflective experience. Many attendees stood mesmerised for long moments, absorbing the feelings conveyed through these unlikely canvases.The show also highlighted Rajkumar Gupta’s growing recognition in the art world. Just weeks earlier, in March 2026, his works had received widespread appreciation at an international art exhibition in Noida. Bringing the same artistic excellence to Jaipur’s iconic Hawa Mahal added a special charm, blending the grandeur of heritage architecture with the simplicity and beauty of pebble art.Local art enthusiasts, families, and tourists who visited described the exhibition as refreshing and deeply moving. Several remarked that the display changed their perspective, making them realise that even the most ordinary objects can hold extraordinary beauty when seen through an artist’s sensitive eye. “It felt as if the stones were actually speaking,” one visitor shared.The two-day pebble art exhibition successfully concluded at Hawa Mahal, leaving behind fond memories and renewed appreciation for this unique art form. For those who missed it, the show served as a gentle reminder that art has no boundaries — it can emerge from the simplest materials and touch the deepest corners of the heart.Rajkumar Gupta’s effort proved once again that creativity lies not in expensive tools or rare mediums, but in vision, patience, and emotional connect. By giving voice to silent stones, he invited everyone to look closer at the world around us and discover hidden stories waiting to be told.The exhibition may have ended, but the impressions it created will continue to resonate with those who experienced it. In a fast-paced world, such artistic pauses that celebrate simplicity and emotion remain truly valuable. ]]></description>

<title>Paranjape Schemes &#45; Athashri marks 25 Years and 6,000 residents in India’s senior living story with a future ready vision</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/paranjape-schemes-athashri-marks-25-years-and-6000-residents-in-indias-senior-living-story-with-a-future-ready-vision</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/paranjape-schemes-athashri-marks-25-years-and-6000-residents-in-indias-senior-living-story-with-a-future-ready-vision</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
Maharashtra | April 20, 2026 :  Paranjape Schemes (Construction) Ltd.,
a legacy developer known for pioneering new-age residential formats, marks 25
years of Athashri, its senior living platform that has played a
defining role in shaping the evolution of organised senior living in India.
What began as a forward-looking idea has today evolved into a well-established
ecosystem centred around dignity, independence, and community living.

Marking
this milestone, Athashri celebrated the handover to its 6000th resident in
Vadodara, bringing together residents, leadership, and partners that reflected
the spirit of the community. Today, the Athashri platform spans close to 16
senior living communities, supporting over 3000 seniors across multiple cities.
The event began with an address by Mr. Shrikant Paranjape, Chairman, Paranjape
Schemes (Construction) Ltd., followed by Shashank Paranjape, Managing Director,
Paranjape Schemes, who reflected on Athashri’s journey and its growing
relevance. This was followed by performances by Athashri residents, showcasing
the vibrancy and active lifestyle that defines the community.

Building
on this, Amit Paranjape, Director, Business Development, Paranjape Schemes
(Construction)Limited also announced a series of upcoming tie-ups across
healthcare, wellness, emergency support, and community engagement, aimed at
further strengthening the integrated ecosystem around senior living. These
include partnerships with leading healthcare institutions enabling them access
to OPD, ICU support, minor OT facilities, and emergency services including
cardiac ambulance transfers and on-call paramedic support. The initiative also
includes the introduction of health monitoring systems with fall detection and
real-time tracking of key vitals, with data accessible to doctors and family
members. On the wellness front, collaborations with a leading yoga institute
and specialised trainers will support structured yoga and fitness programmes,
while partnerships with organisations like FUEL School (Friends Union for
Energising Lives), Camlin, Origami Mitra, and concierge services will focus on
creative engagement, learning, and homecare support for residents.

Following
the ceremony, a special felicitation was held to honour distinguished Athashri
residents whose lifelong contributions have left a lasting impact across
fields. Among those recognised were Dr. Mohan Phadnis, a renowned scientist
associated with institutions such as BARC, TIFR, and IIT, known for his
pioneering work in nuclear science and signal processing; Mr. Sanjay Govind
Dhande, Padma Shri awardee and former Director of IIT Kanpur, who has played a
transformative role in shaping India’s technical education ecosystem; Wing
Commander Suresh Karnik, a decorated Indian Air Force officer and Veer Chakra
awardee for his exemplary service during the 1971 war; Dr. Rita Mulherkar, a
leading figure in cancer research and former senior scientist at Tata Memorial
Centre, recognised for her extensive academic and research contributions; and
Vandana Gupte, a celebrated name in Marathi theatre and cinema, admired for her
powerful performances and enduring contribution to the arts. The felicitation
reflected the depth of experience and achievement within the Athashri
community, reinforcing its positioning as a space where legacy, excellence, and
active living come together.

Shashank
Paranjape, Managing Director, Paranjape Schemes (Construction) Limited
said, “This moment is deeply meaningful for us. What started as a simple
thought to create a space where seniors could live with dignity and
independence has today evolved into a reality that so many people trust and are
a part of. There is an immense sense of pride in seeing this vision come to
life as a thriving community. With the celebration coinciding with Akshay
Tritiya, a time that symbolises new beginnings and positivity, it makes this
occasion even more special. It reinforces our belief that senior living is not
just about creating homes, but about building environments where people truly
belong where ageing is not just about living, but about experiencing joyful
moments that truly matter. We are also seeing strong growth in Tier 2 and Tier
3 cities, driven by the rising senior population, evolving family structures,
and increasing awareness around organised senior living. The need for such
communities is steadily growing across markets such as Nashik, Kolhapur,
Nagpur, as well as Ahmedabad and Jaipur, among other emerging locations, making
senior living a need of the hour and indicating stronger adoption across Indian
cities in the years ahead.”

The
growth of senior living in India is closely linked to the rise of the silver
economy, where the needs, aspirations, and lifestyle choices of an ageing
population are beginning to shape new housing formats. With increasing life
expectancy, changing family structures, and a stronger preference for
independent living, senior living communities are steadily moving from a niche
offering to an integral part of the broader residential ecosystem.

Amit
Paranjape, Director, Business Development, Paranjape Schemes (Construction)
Limited said, “Senior living is entering a new phase
of growth in India. What was once seen as a need-driven decision is now
becoming a more planned and conscious choice. We are increasingly seeing
millennials actively investing in such communities for their parents, driven by
the need for structured care, safety, and a sense of community. The recent
framework on senior living introduced by Maharashtra State Housing Policy 2025
marks a decisive moment in how senior living is being institutionalised in
India. The introduction of a dedicated senior living category, along with
measures such as a nominal ₹1,000 stamp duty, will fundamentally change the
accessibility and attractiveness of this segment for both homebuyers and
developers. We welcome this move as it will play a key role in shaping the future
of the senior living housing sector in Maharashtra when it’s implemented.”

As
India’s demographic and social landscape continues to evolve, communities like
Athashri are playing an increasingly important role in redefining how ageing is
experienced—moving beyond traditional perceptions to create spaces that combine
care, independence, and connection. In doing so, they are not just responding
to a growing need, but actively shaping the future of senior living in the
country.

Private Limited has emerged as one of the first companies in India to
introduce a structured and organized approach to car cleaning, detailing, and
restoration services.

Breaking
away from the grey market approach, Ola Car Wash Private Limited chose
to build its foundation on trusted brands, transparency, and professional
service, understanding that true car lovers value quality over budget. This
vision led to the creation of India’s first multi-branded car care ecosystem,
where The Detailing Gang has become a trusted name, known as one of the best
car detailing studios in India for services like ceramic coating and the
best PPF for cars. Customers searching for the best car detailing near me
or reliable PPF coating for car services are increasingly choosing such
professional platforms, setting a new benchmark for reliability and excellence
in the Indian car detailing industry

A
Unique Multi-Brand, Multi-Vertical Ecosystem

Ola
Car Wash Private Limited uniquely operates four strong verticals, each designed
to serve a specific type of customer needs. This multi-brand concept ensures
that all car care services are available under one ecosystem. First in India,
all car care business verticals are under a single channel.

Door2Door Car Wash
(D2D):
This service focuses on doorstep car cleaning. Customers can get their
cars washed at home without visiting any center. It is widely popular in Tier

studios in India. It offers advanced services like ceramic coating, graphene
coating, and Paint Protection Film (PPF). Customers searching for the best
car detailing near me or PPF coating for car solutions prefer TDG
due to its trained professionals and branded product range.

●     
Ola Car Wash
(OCW):

customers who prefer quick and efficient services at a dedicated location.

●     
Carnama:
This vertical focuses on body shop work, car modification, and
restoration. It is ideal for customers looking to repair or upgrade their

All
Leading Brands Under One Roof

One
of the company’s biggest strengths is its ability to bring together multiple
leading car care brands under one roof. Today, customers searching for trusted
names such as 3M Car Care, Garware Application Studio, or Authorized
Saint-Gobain PPF can find professionally managed solutions within the Ola
Car Wash ecosystem. The company holds official associations and authorizations
with several renowned brands, including 3M, Garware, Saint-Gobain, Rodim,
Nippon, Eclipse, Paint-Guard, Cosmo, XPEL, Llumar, Ultraguard, and others.
This makes it one of the few companies in India to offer such a wide branded
portfolio through a single organized platform.

<title>Ethika’s 4.9&#45;Star Playbook: Inside a Closed&#45;Door Founder Room Redefining Profitability in Bengaluru</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/ethikas-49-star-playbook-inside-a-closed-door-founder-room-redefining-profitability-in-bengaluru</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/ethikas-49-star-playbook-inside-a-closed-door-founder-room-redefining-profitability-in-bengaluru</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
April 2026 : At a time when the startup ecosystem is undergoing a fundamental
shift from chasing valuations to building sustainable businesses Ethika
Insurance Broking is quietly emerging as a case study in doing things
differently.

With
an industry-leading 4.9-star rating backed by 3,500+ Google reviews, Ethika has
built something rare: credibility at scale. In a space often driven by
promises, this level of consistent customer validation signals something deeper
operational excellence, strong systems, and a culture that delivers.

And
it is precisely this foundation that formed the core of a recent closed-door
workshop titled “Profitability by Design,” hosted at Taj Vivanta, Bengaluru.

A
Room Built for Real Conversations, Not Optics

The
session brought together 30+ founders and operators from Bengaluru, many
leading companies with teams crossing the 100-employee mark a stage where
growth complexity often begins to outpace clarity.

Unlike
traditional startup events filled with panels and presentations, this was a
5-hour working session. No pitches. No networking theatrics. Just focused,
high-signal conversations around one critical question:

How
do you build a company that scales without depending on the founder for
everything?

From
Ratings to Reality: Why 4.9 Stars Matter

Ethika’s
4.9-star rating from 3,500+ reviews is not just a vanity metric it is a
reflection of systems that work consistently across hundreds of clients.

In
most service businesses, quality tends to dilute as scale increases. But Ethika’s
journey serving 600+ enterprise clients and over 2,00,000 lives while remaining
EBITDA profitable from Day 1 suggests a different approach.

The
workshop unpacked this underlying philosophy:

Profitability
is not an outcome. It is a design choice.

The
“70% Illusion” Every Founder Recognizes

One
of the most talked-about concepts in the room was the “70% Illusion.”

As
organizations grow, a significant portion of teams operate below their actual
potential not due to lack of talent, but due to unclear ownership, dependency
loops, and inefficient systems.

The
result:

●       
Founders become bottlenecks

●       
Decision-making slows down

●       
Productivity drops despite increasing
headcount

●       
The Hidden Cost: The “2% Problem”

Another
key discussion focused on the “2% Toxic Fraction.”

A
small portion of the team often consumes disproportionate leadership bandwidth
not because of incompetence, but due to misalignment.

For
founders, this sparked honest reflection on:

●       
Energy drains

●       
Delayed decisions

●       
The cost of avoiding tough calls

●       
From Founder-Driven to System-Driven

At
its core, the session focused on one transition:

From
founder-dependent companies to system-driven organizations.

Ethika’s
operating philosophy referred to as F.L.O.W. Architecture centers on building
teams that think, act, and execute with ownership.

This
enables:

●       
Reduced firefighting

●       
Faster execution

●       
Sustainable scale

●       
Why This Matters Now

The
Indian startup ecosystem is clearly shifting:

●       
Profitability over burn

●       
Efficiency over expansion

●       
Real outcomes over vanity metrics

In
this environment, Ethika stands out not just for what it says, but for what it
has consistently demonstrated.

A
bootstrapped, EBITDA-profitable company with a 4.9-Star  rating from 3,500+ customers is not theory
it’s proof.

The
Bigger Takeaway

What
stayed with attendees was simple yet powerful:

Scaling
is not about doing more it’s about building systems where more happens without
you.

Ethika’s
4.9-star credibility is not accidental. It is the outcome of designing the
business right from the ground up.

And
as more founders begin to rethink how they build, operate, and scale
conversations like “Profitability by Design” are likely to become far more
central to the ecosystem.

<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/drink-technology-delhi-and-debut-edition-of-ifat-delhi-set-to-open-in-the-capital-targeting-key-industry-priorities</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/drink-technology-delhi-and-debut-edition-of-ifat-delhi-set-to-open-in-the-capital-targeting-key-industry-priorities</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New Delhi, April 2026 :  As India’s capital prepares to host a new
set of industry conversations, IFAT Delhi 2026 and drink technology
Delhi 2026 will open from April 22–24 at the Bharat Mandapam, bringing
together two distinct sectors under a shared exhibition format.

The co-location will enable visitors to
explore solutions spanning wastewater treatment, solid waste management,
recycling, and resource efficiency, as well as technologies tailored for
beverage and liquid food production. By bringing these interconnected sectors
together, the platform will allow stakeholders to assess integrated systems,
engage with a wider supplier base, and gain a more comprehensive understanding
of operational requirements. This convergence is expected to streamline
decision-making by providing a consolidated view of technologies and partners,
ultimately supporting faster evaluations and more informed investment choices.

The debut edition of IFAT Delhi comes at a
time when the National Capital Region is under increasing strain from water
scarcity, groundwater depletion, and evolving waste management regulations.

Katharina Schlegel,
Global Industry Lead IFAT,
noted: “The Delhi NCR represents one of the most complex urban environments in
terms of water and waste challenges. Bringing IFAT to North India allows us to
connect global technologies with local decision-makers at a point where solutions
are urgently needed and actively being implemented.”

Running alongside IFAT Delhi, drink
technology Delhi, a summit for the beverage and liquid food industry powered by
drinktec India, promises to be a high-impact, business-driven platform for the
beverage and liquid food sector.

IFAT Delhi 2026 and drink technology Delhi will bring
together 100+ exhibitors showcasing over 1,000 products and solutions.
It is expected to attract 6,000+ trade buyers from segments including
packaged water, soft drinks, juices, breweries, and alcoholic beverages,
alongside decision-makers from water and wastewater management, municipal
bodies, utilities, recycling, and environmental services.

Markus Kosak,
Executive Director, drinktec Cluster, highlighted the regional focus, “We are very much looking
forward to drink technology Delhi, which serves as a key touch point for
knowledge exchange and networking, and which in particular strengthens and
connects the North Indian market. At the same time, we are gaining valuable
insights from users in North India, which can be further developed at drinktec
India in Mumbai this October.”

Beyond the Show Floor

The Innovation Exchange Forum at IFAT Delhi
2026 will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, and experts for two
days of focused dialogue on pressing environmental and industrial challenges.
The programme opens with an inauguration ceremony, followed by high-level
plenary discussions on urban water security and advancements in sludge
management. Sessions will explore practical pathways for turning waste into
value, including opportunities in compressed biogas and strategies for
addressing legacy waste. A strong emphasis is placed on global collaboration
through initiatives such as the India–EU Water Partnership led by GIZ.

In parallel, drink technology India Delhi will
host a one-day conference titled “Decoding India’s sustainable drive in
beverage production,” bringing together industry leaders from companies
such as The Coca-Cola Company, Pernod Ricard India, and Bisleri
International, among others. To further support business outcomes, a
dedicated Buyer–Seller Zone will be organised to enable structured, direct
interactions between solution providers and procurement-focused visitors.

The co-located format reflects a
pragmatic approach to industry engagement.

Bhupinder Singh,
President IMEA, Messe München and CEO, Messe Muenchen India, said:
 “Both IFAT Delhi and drink technology
Delhi are built as focused platforms for their respective industries. By
bringing them together at one venue, we are enabling greater accessibility
while ensuring that each sector continues to have its own dedicated space for
business, technology exchange, and decision-making.”

As regulatory frameworks tighten and
industries adapt to new operational realities, both events are expected to
serve as practical business platforms—not just for showcasing solutions,
but for enabling conversations that lead to adoption and partnerships.

<title>India’s Trusted fire fighting and Industrial Mineral Powder Manufacturer | Speciality Geochem</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-trusted-fire-fighting-and-industrial-mineral-powder-manufacturer-speciality-geochem</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/indias-trusted-fire-fighting-and-industrial-mineral-powder-manufacturer-speciality-geochem</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

India’s expanding industrial infrastructure
and dense residential development continue to increase demand for dependable
fire protection systems and consistent mineral processing materials. Speciality Geochem
operates in both sectors. Founded in 1996 in Udaipur, Rajasthan, the company
manufactures fire safety equipment and industrial mineral powders with more
than twenty eight years of production experience, supplying buyers across India
and export markets under ISO certified manufacturing systems.

Fire
Fighting Equipment

Industrial and commercial facilities require
reliable suppression systems that activate quickly and meet regulatory
standards. Speciality Geochem manufactures fire protection systems designed for
practical deployment across buildings, machinery, and vehicles, operating as a fire fighting equipment manufacturer that
focuses on compliance, mechanical reliability, and controlled suppressant
quality.

Automatic Fire Extinguisher Ball

Immediate response often determines whether a
small flame grows into a serious fire. The Automatic Fire Extinguisher Ball activates when flames touch its outer shell,
bursting and dispersing dry chemical powder that interrupts combustion. Homes,
warehouses, electrical rooms, and vehicles use it as a passive protection
device. CE marking and relevant IS testing standards confirm operational
reliability.

Fire Extinguisher Cylinders

Industrial fire protection relies heavily on
pressurized extinguishers matched to specific fire classes. ABC powder
extinguishers discharge monoammonium phosphate that interrupts the chemical
chain reaction behind Class A, B, and C fires, making them the most versatile
type across factories and warehouses. Monoammonium phosphate itself comes from mineral
processing, which connects directly with the company’s expertise in mineral
powders such as calcite and soapstone. CO2 extinguishers release carbon dioxide
that displaces oxygen and cools electrical equipment fires, though operators
should avoid outdoor open environments and ordinary combustibles. Water
extinguishers cool burning solids such as wood or paper but must never operate
near electrical equipment. Foam extinguishers form a smothering film over
flammable liquids, which makes them suitable for fuel storage areas and
chemical facilities. 

Automatic Fire Suppression Tube

Enclosed machinery compartments often ignite
where portable extinguishers cannot reach quickly. The Automatic Fire
Suppression Tube uses linear heat detection built into the tube wall. Rising
temperature ruptures the pressurized tube and releases extinguishing gas
directly at the ignition point. Electrical control panels, CNC machines,
battery racks, and vehicle engine bays commonly use this protection system.

Fire Safety Combo (3 in 1)

Smaller facilities often require a simple yet
layered safety setup. The Fire Safety Combo kit combines an extinguisher ball,
a fire blanket, and a compact extinguisher in one package. Retail shops, fleet
vehicles, workshops, and homes store the kit for immediate fire containment
before emergency responders arrive.

Industrial
Mineral Powder Manufacturing

Industrial production processes rely heavily
on mineral powders that maintain consistent particle size, purity, and chemical
composition. Speciality Geochem operates as a mineral powder manufacturer sourcing materials from
the Rajasthan mineral belt, where high quality deposits support controlled
processing and steady industrial supply.

Soapstone Powder (Talc)

Ceramic manufacturers, paint producers, rubber
processors, and paper plants use talc because of its lubricity and thermal
resistance during forming and coating processes. Paint applications require
carefully controlled mesh size so particles disperse evenly in coatings and
maintain surface smoothness.

Dolomite Powder

Steel production, construction materials,
agriculture amendments, and glass manufacturing use dolomite as a stabilizing
mineral. Metallurgical buyers evaluate the calcium to magnesium carbonate ratio
because furnace chemistry and slag behavior depend on that balance.

Calcite Powder

Paint, plastics, rubber, and paper industries
rely on calcite as a functional filler that improves opacity and structural
stability. Buyers prioritize whiteness index and consistent particle size
because both factors influence surface finish and compound performance.

Silica Powder

Glass production, foundry casting, filtration
systems, and construction materials depend on silica for hardness and chemical
stability. Industrial procurement teams examine silicon dioxide purity
percentage since SiO2 concentration affects melt behavior and casting quality.

Anti Moisture Powder

Moisture damage during storage and transport
creates major risk for packaged goods. Anti moisture powder absorbs atmospheric
humidity inside cartons and shipping containers, which makes hygroscopic
absorption rate the critical specification for electronics, food processing,
and pharmaceutical packaging logistics.

Quicklime Powder

Water treatment plants, steel furnaces, paper
mills, and construction sites use quicklime for chemical reactions that
neutralize impurities or stabilize soil. Calcium oxide reactivity grade
determines how efficiently the powder reacts with water and contaminants.

Factories, chemical plants, warehouses,
automotive fleets, pharmaceutical packaging facilities, construction companies,
and residential complexes depend on dependable safety equipment and stable
mineral supply chains. Speciality Geochem manufactures these materials directly
rather than distributing third party products, maintaining more than twenty
eight years of production continuity.

<description><![CDATA[ Mulmul Co-Ord Set for Women

New Delhi [India], April 17: When‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ summer comes to India, getting comfortable is our
biggest concern. Thick clothes are a hassle, and if the clothes fit tightly,
they can make things worse. This is when a mulmul co-ord set can
prove to be your dearest companion. Besides being lightweight, breathable, and
looking good, it is a complete package for summer clothing. You can explore a
variety of breezy styles in this curated collection of co-ord sets for women. 

In this article, the first thing we will do is figure
out what is mulmul cotton. Then we&#039;ll dive into the reasons
why co-ord sets women have fallen for this fabric and consider their
suitability for summer ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌wear.

What is
Mulmul Cotton?

First,let us know about the fabric before we discuss the
style.

Mulmul is a cotton fabric that is not only soft and
fine but also breathable. Because of its light feel on the skin, it is often
called “woven air”. Although the mulmul fabric has been used in India from
ancient times, the natural texture and comfort of the fabric have made it
widely loved till today.

Here are some of the Main Characteristics of Mulmul:


 Very soft and kind to
     the skin
 Light and airy
 Quickly soak up sweat
 Help to stay cool in the
     heat
 Become even softer after
     each wash


Therefore, mulmul is very suitable for everyday wear,
particularly during the summer time.

If you want to wear light and breathable clothes this
summer, then start with Mulmul Co-Ord Sets from Rangmanch Collection. ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌

Why Mulmul
Co-Ord Set is Perfect for Summer

A‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ mulmul Co-Ord set is a wonderful
combination of the fabric&#039;s comfort and the simplicity of coordinated outfits.
You don&#039;t have to invest time figuring out what to style.

1.
Breathability To Keep You Fresh

The sun can be a brutal source of heat during summer.
Mulmul is capable of letting the air pass through it easily. This not only
maintains your body&#039;s coolness but also cuts down on perspiration.
A mulmul co-ord set for women will still feel nice and airy on an
especially hot afternoon.

2.
Fashion Without Problem

One of the biggest advantages of a Co-Ord set is
that you get a fully styled look with zero effort. Tops and bottoms with the
same design and color result in a neat outfit immediately. It does not matter
if you are going out or planning to stay in; it will suit your presence at any
time.

3.
Fabric That Nurtures Your Skin

Mulmul is a fabric that suits sensitive complexions very
well. It is unlikely to irritate their skin or give them any rashes. That is
why it is very convenient to wear it throughout the whole day.

4. A
Range Of Uses

Depending on what you want to do, a mulmul Co-Ord
set can be your companion anywhere you go, from your casual outdoor
activities to your laid-back work days. Combine it with simple shoes to get the
minimalistic look, or use some small accessories if you want to look more
formal and elegant.

5.
User-Friendly

Mulmul is a fabric that is very easy to clean and care for.
It does not take long to dry, and it is also rarely subjected to heavy ironing.
Hence, from the point of view of regular use, it is extremely ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌suitable.

Styling
Tips for Mulmul Co-Ord Sets

A‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ mulmul Co-ord set for women is not only
comfortable but also stylish and versatile. So here are a few easy style tips:

     want the casual look
 Carry a sling bag for a
     trendy appearance
 Put on a thin shawl in
     the form of a shrug if you want to go out in the evening


One of the reasons why cord sets women fall in love with is
that they can be worn in different ways. Moreover, the individual pieces can be
combined with other garments ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌too.

Why
Mulmul is Trending in India

Mulmul‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ is making a comeback, especially in summer

<title>How House of Khalsa Founder Danny Singh Built Singh &amp;amp; Kaur Into a Cultural Luxury Expression</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-house-of-khalsa-founder-danny-singh-built-singh-kaur-into-a-cultural-luxury-expression</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-house-of-khalsa-founder-danny-singh-built-singh-kaur-into-a-cultural-luxury-expression</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Luxury
is no longer defined solely by opulence or visual appeal. In today’s evolving
global landscape, it is shaped by meaning, identity, and emotional resonance.
Consumers are increasingly drawn to brands that tell stories—stories that
reflect heritage, belief systems, and cultural pride. Within this shift, House
of Khalsa, founded
by Danny Singh, has emerged as a powerful voice, introducing the Singh &amp;
Kaur perfume collection as a deeply rooted cultural luxury expression inspired
by Sikhism and Punjabi tradition. 

 

Rather
than following the conventional path carved by Western fragrance houses, House
of Khalsa places Sikh heritage at the centre of its identity. The Singh &amp;
Kaur collection is not just about scent—it is about storytelling, symbolism,
and a spiritual connection that transforms fragrance into a reflection of self.
In doing so, the brand redefines luxury as something that is not only worn, but
also felt and lived.

http://www.houseofkhalsa.com

 

House of Khalsa: From Spiritual Roots to Modern Luxury

 

The
origins of House of Khalsa, a world famous luxury brand are closely tied to a
moment of global introspection—the pandemic era. As the world slowed down, people
began to seek deeper meaning in their choices, including what they consumed.
Luxury, once associated with aspiration alone, began to evolve into something
more personal and purposeful.

 

It
was during this time that Danny Singh envisioned a brand that would move beyond
trend-driven aesthetics and instead draw strength from Sikh values. His
lineage, tracing back to the legendary Sikh general Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa,
plays a defining role in shaping this vision. Known for his courage,
leadership, and unwavering spirit, Nalwa’s legacy becomes a guiding force
behind the brand’s philosophy.

 

These
principles of courage (himmat), dignity (izzat), resilience, and spiritual
awareness are not abstract ideas within the House of Khalsa. They are carefully
woven into every layer of the brand, from fragrance creation to visual
storytelling. This alignment ensures that the product is not detached from its
roots, but instead becomes a continuation of a rich and living heritage.

 

Singh &amp; Kaur: Names That Carry the Spirit of Sikh Identity

 

At
the heart of the collection lies the profound significance of the names “Singh”
and “Kaur.” In Sikhism, these are not merely surnames but powerful declarations
of identity. “Singh,” meaning lion, symbolises bravery, strength, and leadership,
while “Kaur,” meaning princess, represents sovereignty, grace, and equality.

 

By
building an entire fragrance line around these names, House of Khalsa taps into
a deeply emotional and cultural reservoir. The choice is intentional; it
creates immediate recognition within the Sikh community while also
communicating universal values of empowerment and equality to a global
audience.

 

The
dual fragrance concept reflects this balance. It offers masculine and feminine
expressions that complement one another, yet remain distinct in character. In
doing so, the collection mirrors the Sikh philosophy of equality, where
strength and grace coexist without hierarchy.

 

Singh: The Fragrance of the Warrior Spirit

 

Singh,
the men’s fragrance, is an olfactory tribute to the warrior ethos deeply
embedded in Sikh history. Encased in a bold gold and black bottle, the design
itself evokes authority, discipline, and timeless nobility.

 

The
fragrance unfolds with rich woody notes layered with warm spices and deep amber
accords. These elements are reminiscent of ceremonial spaces, the scent of
earth and armour, and the quiet strength of a leader grounded in purpose. There
is a sense of depth and intensity that aligns with the identity of the
Khalsa—the initiated Sikh community known for its courage and spiritual
commitment.

However,
Singh is not positioned merely as a masculine scent. It is presented as an
extension of identity, a reminder of one’s roots and responsibilities. It
speaks to individuals who carry their heritage with pride while navigating the
complexities of the modern world.

 

Kaur: A Celebration of Feminine Sovereignty

 

Kaur,
in contrast, draws its inspiration from the strength and grace of Sikh
women—figures who have historically embodied resilience, leadership, and
unwavering faith. The fragrance is housed in a striking red and gold bottle,
colours that signify celebration, royalty, and spiritual energy.

 

The
composition blends delicate florals with soft spices and warm resinous
undertones, creating a fragrance that is both elegant and powerful. It
challenges conventional notions of femininity by moving beyond softness alone
and embracing a more holistic expression of strength.

 

Kaur
becomes a tribute to the idea of sovereignty—not just in a cultural sense, but
also in a personal one. It is designed for women who honour tradition while
defining their own paths, embodying independence alongside cultural pride.

 

Narrative-Led Fragrance Architecture

 

What
truly distinguishes the Singh &amp; Kaur collection is its narrative-driven fragrance architecture. Each scent
is carefully crafted as a sensory story, drawing from elements deeply rooted in
Indian and Sikh traditions.

 

Ingredients
such as spices, woods, resins, and florals are chosen not only for their
olfactory appeal but also for their cultural associations. They evoke memories
of gurudwaras, festive gatherings, and sacred rituals, creating a multi-layered
experience that goes beyond the surface.

 

 

This
storytelling approach transforms fragrance into a medium of cultural
expression. It allows wearers to connect with their heritage in an intimate and
personal way, making the experience of wearing perfume both emotional and
meaningful.

 

Packaging as a Reflection of Heritage

 

In
luxury, packaging is often the first point of connection, and House of Khalsa
treats it as an extension of its storytelling. The use of Khalsa symbols,
intricate paisley motifs, and regal colour palettes such as royal blue and
saffron elevates the visual identity of the collection.

 

The
unboxing experience is designed to feel ceremonial, echoing the richness of
Sikh traditions and celebrations. It is not just about opening a product—it is
about engaging in a ritual that reinforces cultural connection.

 

At
the same time, the brand remains mindful of modern values by incorporating
eco-conscious materials and refillable concepts. This balance between tradition
and sustainability reflects a forward-thinking approach to luxury.

 

Cultural Luxury Reimagined

 

Through
Singh &amp; Kaur, Danny Singh has demonstrated that heritage is not a
limitation—it is a powerful foundation for innovation. By bringing Sikh
identity into the world of perfumery, House of Khalsa creates a narrative that
is both deeply personal and globally relevant.

 

The
collection stands as a testament to a new era of luxury—one where authenticity,
spirituality, and cultural pride define value. In this space, fragrance is no
longer just an accessory; it becomes a story, a memory, and a living expression
of identity carried forward into the modern world.

<title>ODM Educational Group Records 100 Percent Pass Rate Across 685 Students in CBSE Class X 2026</title>

<description><![CDATA[  

BHUBANESWAR, April 17,
2026 : ODM Educational Group recorded a 100 percent
pass rate in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class X Annual
Secondary School Examination (AISSE) 2025-26, with all registered students from
the group successfully passing the board examination.

The results place ODM
among prominent school groups in India to achieve complete success at this
scale of student participation in the CBSE Class 10th Board Examination. Of the
685 students who appeared, 243 scored 90 percent and above. Within this group, 104
students secured more than 95 percent, while 14 students scored 99 percent or
higher. The group recorded an overall average of 81.6 percent.

School-Level
Performance

At the school level,
ODM Public School, Bhubaneswar, posted an average score of 86.45 percent,
contributing significantly to the overall performance of the group. The CBSE
Class X examination is regarded as an important academic milestone, as the
results influence stream selection for Classes XI and XII as well as admissions
to senior secondary programmes.

Academic Framework

Education observers
note that outcomes of this nature across the group are typically the result of
sustained academic systems rather than individual effort alone. ODM’s
consistent academic success is driven by a nurturing learning environment that
focuses on every student’s overall growth. With experienced teachers,
structured support, and engaging learning programmes, ODM creates a positive
environment where students are confidently prepared for examinations and future
opportunities.

Commenting on the
results, Dr Satyabrata Minaketan, Chairman of ODM Educational Group, said,
“Every child who walked into our classrooms carried a potential that our
teachers believed in unconditionally. This result belongs to them and to the
families who trusted us with their children&#039;s futures.”

Context:

The CBSE Class X AISSE
2026 was conducted across the country earlier this year, with results declared
in April. The examination assesses students across five core subjects, and
final scores are calculated based on board examinations combined with internal
assessments, as per the current CBSE evaluation framework.

As schools and parents
across Odisha review this year&#039;s outcomes, ODM&#039;s Class X results serve as a
data point on what structured, system-driven academic preparation can achieve
across a large and diverse student body.

<title>On&#45;Time Delivery as a Brand Promise: Siddhashila’s Track Record</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/on-time-delivery-as-a-brand-promise-siddhashilas-track-record</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/on-time-delivery-as-a-brand-promise-siddhashilas-track-record</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune, Maharashtra :
In the dynamic world of real estate, trust is often built not only through
architectural excellence but through the ability to deliver what is promised,
on time. For homebuyers and investors, timely possession is one of the most
crucial factors when choosing a developer. In Pune’s competitive real estate
landscape, Siddhashila has steadily earned a reputation for making on-time
delivery more than a commitment; it is a defining brand promise.

For decades, Siddhashila has been associated with
thoughtfully designed residential and commercial developments that combine
quality construction with efficient execution. Known for meticulous planning
and attention to detail, the developer has consistently delivered projects that
align with buyer expectations and timelines. This approach has helped
Siddhashila establish itself as a trusted real estate brand in Pune, recognized
for both quality homes and dependable project completion.

In an industry where delays are often considered
inevitable, Siddhashila has demonstrated that disciplined project management
and transparent planning can change the narrative. Every development begins
with a clear vision and a structured execution plan, ensuring that construction
milestones are carefully monitored and achieved. From design conceptualization
to the final finishing touches, the focus remains on maintaining efficiency
without compromising on quality.

The secret behind Siddhashila’s track record lies in a
combination of intelligent design, experienced teams and a strong operational
framework. Each project is built on the foundation of thorough research,
strategic location selection and high construction standards. This systematic
approach enables the developer to streamline processes, minimize delays and
maintain consistent progress across projects. As a result, homebuyers gain the
confidence that their dream home will be delivered within the promised
timeframe.

Siddhashila’s developments across Pune showcase how the
brand integrates timely delivery with lifestyle-focused planning. Residential
projects such as Samaira in Bibwewadi, Madhusagar in Model Colony and Treasure
Troves in Wakad highlight the developer’s ability to create thoughtfully
designed homes in well-connected locations. In Punawale, the developer has
delivered two residential projects, Eira and Eela, with timely possession,
reinforcing its commitment to reliability and quality construction. Across
these developments, the projects are planned to offer modern amenities,
comfortable living spaces and easy accessibility while ensuring the
construction process remains efficient and deadline-driven.

The commitment to timely delivery is not merely a
construction goal; it is deeply rooted in Siddhashila’s customer-first
philosophy. For many families, purchasing a home is a once-in-a-lifetime
milestone that comes with financial planning and emotional investment. Delays
can disrupt these plans, making reliability an essential factor in a
developer’s credibility. Siddhashila understands this responsibility and has
consistently prioritized transparent communication and disciplined execution
throughout the project lifecycle.

Another aspect that strengthens the brand’s credibility
is its focus on quality alongside speed. Delivering on time does not mean
cutting corners; instead, it reflects the developer’s ability to manage
resources effectively while maintaining high standards. Siddhashila’s projects
are known for their meticulous construction practices, innovative architecture
and thoughtful layouts that cater to modern urban lifestyles.

This balanced approach has enabled Siddhashila to build
lasting relationships with homeowners, investors and the wider community. Many
buyers view Siddhashila not just as a developer but as a reliable partner in
their homeownership journey. Over the years, the trust built through consistent
performance and responsible development has strengthened the brand’s position
in Pune’s evolving real estate market.

As Pune continues to grow as a major residential and
commercial hub, the demand for dependable developers is only increasing.
Homebuyers today are more informed and discerning, seeking builders who can
deliver both quality and reliability. Siddhashila stands out by consistently
meeting these expectations and setting higher standards for project delivery.

Looking ahead, Siddhashila remains committed to
maintaining its reputation for timely project completion while continuing to
develop thoughtfully designed living and commercial spaces. With every project,
the developer reinforces its core promise, delivering homes that combine
quality construction, intelligent design and on-time possession.

delivery, Siddhashila continues to be a name worth considering. To learn more

<title>BEYOND ‘THE EASY CHILD’: Is Your Child Confident or Just Surviving? BY KARISHMA</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-the-easy-child-is-your-child-confident-or-just-surviving-by-karishma</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/beyond-the-easy-child-is-your-child-confident-or-just-surviving-by-karishma</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In the world of
parenting, we often celebrate the ‘easy’ child, the one who never argues,
always agrees, and seems perfectly happy to go with the flow. But as parents,
we must develop a deeper intuition. Sometimes, an easy child isn&#039;t ‘easy’
because they are naturally laid back, they are easy because they have learned
that being difficult costs them the love and safety they crave.

To raise truly
resilient and healthy adults, we must learn to distinguish between a child who
is confident and a child who is a people-pleaser (or developing such traits).

There are two paths
to a quiet home. One is built on safety and the other is built on performance.
Let’s understand both:

●      The confident child: This child is easy
because they feel secure. They know that even if they make a mistake or
disagree, your love for them will never change.

●      The People pleasing child: This child is
surviving. They have internalized the message that ‘big feelings’ are a burden
to their parents. To keep the peace, they hide their true selves and give you
the version they think you can handle.

How to spot the
difference: Recognizing the signs of pleasing people
is vital for a child&#039;s long term emotional health:


 Handling Mistakes: A confident child
     makes a mistake and comes to tell you because they see you as a safe
     harbor. A people pleasing child makes a mistake and disappears, gripped by
     the fear of disappointment or reaction.
 The Power of ‘No’: When a confident child
     says ‘no’ they stay calm, they are simply stating a boundary. When a
     People-Pleasing child tries to say ‘no’, they often panic or immediately
     fold the moment they face the slightest pressure.
 Conflict and Disagreement: Confident
     children will hold their ground even when they disagree with you. A child
     trending towards codependency will mirror your emotions and options just
     to avoid the friction of a disagreement.


How can we shape
this Behavior?

It is a hard truth
for parents to swallow, but we often accidentally create these performers. It
happens in small and normal parenting moments for example:

●      We withdraw affection when a child is difficult or disappointed.

●      We react with anger to feelings like crying, frustration or anger.

●      We generally make a mistake by overpraising a child specifically for
being easy.

When we do this, we
unknowingly teach them that their real self is too much and we ask them for a
version that we can handle.

What Parents can
do:

The Dos:

●     
Allow the ‘no’: Let the child disagree with you on small things. It will teach them
that their voice has value.

●      Reward Honesty, not perfection: When they come
to you with a mistake, focus on their courage in telling you rather than the
mistake itself. 

●     
Be their safe place: Ensure that when they go wrong or fail, they find you waiting there
with support not criticism.

●      Validate their feelings: Even if a tantrum is
inconvenient, acknowledge the emotion behind it. Show calmness by saying ‘I see
that you are frustrated’ rather than saying ‘Stop crying’.

The Don&#039;ts:

●     
Don&#039;t withdraw Love as
Punishment: Avoid using the silent treatment or
emotional distance to control the child&#039;s behavior.

●      Don&#039;t value ease over connection: If a child
thinks being no trouble is the only way to be loved, they will stop sharing
their real needs with you.

●      Don&#039;t fear disagreement: Don&#039;t view a child&#039;s
‘no’ as a challenge to your authority, view it as a practice run for them
standing up for themselves in the real world.

Our children should
know that they are already loved. By allowing our children to be difficult, to
make mistakes, and to disagree with us, we give them the greatest gift which a
parent can offer, that is the freedom to be their true selves.

<title>alt.f coworking Expands in Hyderabad with New Centre at Meenakshi Tech Park, Gachibowli</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/altf-coworking-expands-in-hyderabad-with-new-centre-at-meenakshi-tech-park-gachibowli</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/altf-coworking-expands-in-hyderabad-with-new-centre-at-meenakshi-tech-park-gachibowli</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Hyderabad | April 17, 2026 : alt.f
coworking has launched its
newest workspace at Meenakshi Tech Park, Gachibowli, marking a significant step
in its Hyderabad expansion strategy. The centre, with a seating capacity of
nearly 800, is now operational and witnessing strong interest from growing
businesses across the city.

 

The launch reflects Hyderabad’s rising demand
for ready-to-move-in office spaces that support faster setup, operational
efficiency, and scalable team growth.

 

Demand Driven by
Growing Teams

In the lead-up to the launch, demand has been
highly focused rather than exploratory. Most enquiries have come from companies
with team sizes ranging between 15 and 50 employees, with a clear preference
for private cabins over open coworking layouts.

 

This shift indicates a growing need for
structured and focused work environments.

 

“Teams today are making faster decisions when
it comes to office spaces,” said Yogesh Arora, Co-founder at alt.f coworking.
“The expectation is clear-move in quickly, begin operations immediately, and
scale without disruption.”

 

To meet this requirement, the Gachibowli centre offers a significant inventory of 15 to 50-seater private
cabins designed to support productivity and team efficiency.

 

Faster Decision-Making
and Clear Expectations

 

One of the key trends observed during the
pre-launch phase has been the speed of decision-making. Businesses are
shortlisting fewer options and closing deals faster, largely driven by hiring
timelines and ongoing project commitments.

 

Instead of focusing on visual appeal,
companies are prioritising practical factors such as:

●      
Immediate
operational readiness

●      
Predictable
and transparent monthly costs

●      
Flexibility
to expand teams

●      
Reliable
infrastructure

 

This trend is becoming increasingly evident
across the coworking space in Hyderabad, particularly in high-demand
micro-markets such as Gachibowli and Financial District.

 

Designed for
Functionality

The new centre has been built with a strong
focus on day-to-day usability. It features lounge areas, café spaces,
high-speed WiFi, and dedicated hospitality services to support smooth business
operations.

 

The workspace follows a European-inspired
design approach, offering a clean and professional environment without
unnecessary complexity. The emphasis remains on comfort, efficiency, and
usability.

 

Strengthening Hyderabad
Presence

With this launch, alt.f coworking continues to
strengthen its footprint in Hyderabad. The company already operates centres in
the Financial District and Begumpet and is actively expanding its presence in the city.

 

Looking ahead, alt.f coworking plans to launch
two additional centres in Hitech City by the end of 2026, driven by consistent
demand from growing teams and startups.

 

A Market Moving Towards
Clarity

The response to the Gachibowli centre
highlights a broader shift in how businesses approach office spaces. Companies
are becoming more decisive, cost-conscious, and focused on execution.

 

Office spaces are no longer treated as a
statement.

 

They are now seen as essential infrastructure
that enables business growth.

 

About alt.f coworking

alt.f coworking offers premium yet accessible coworking spaces in Delhi, Noida, Hyderabad, Gurgaon and
soon will be available in Pune and Mumbai only.
The company focuses on

private team offices designed for growing
businesses, delivering flexible, well-designed

workspaces that prioritise efficiency,
reliability, and cost transparency. alt.f coworking was also featured on Shark
Tank India Season 4.

<title>Adani Healthcare, Medikabazaar and United Imaging to Host ‘uNexGen’ in Wardha</title>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Adani Healthcare, Medikabazaar and United
Imaging Healthcare will host uNexGen, a two-day programme in Wardha,
Maharashtra.

●       
The initiative bridges gaps between medical
education and rapidly evolving AI-driven diagnostic imaging technologies.

●       
The event reflects Adani Healthcare’s
integrated model with DMIHER, supported by the Adani Foundation.

Wardha
(Maharashtra), 17 April 2026 : Adani Healthcare, in association with
Medikabazaar, a leading digital healthcare supply chain platform, and United
Imaging Healthcare, a global provider of advanced medical imaging and
radiotherapy equipment, will host ‘uNexGen’ (Next Generation Medical Imaging
with Advanced Technologies and Artificial Intelligence), a two-day educational
programme on April 16–17 at the Datta Meghe Auditorium, Wardha, Maharashtra.

The
programme is designed to equip medical students, residents and young doctors
with early, hands-on exposure to advanced diagnostic technologies, including
artificial intelligence-enabled workflows, and their real-world clinical
applications. It seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical training and
evolving clinical practice in a rapidly digitising healthcare environment.

Over
two days, participants will engage in expert-led sessions, case-based
discussions and live demonstrations across modalities such as Magnetic
Resonance (MR), Computed Tomography (CT) and molecular imaging. The focus will
be on improving diagnostic precision, enhancing clinical decision-making and
strengthening patient outcomes through responsible use of technology.

Dinesh
Lodha, Group Chief Executive Officer (Group CEO) and Managing Director (MD) of
Medikabazaar, said, “uNexGen reflects our commitment to empowering the next
generation of healthcare professionals. By bringing together academia and
industry, we aim to create a platform that enhances learning and prepares
students for real-world challenges.”

Dr
Jusong Xia, President, International Business, United Imaging Healthcare, said,
“The integration of artificial intelligence with imaging is redefining
diagnostics. Through uNexGen, we are enabling students to understand these
advancements firsthand and encouraging them to be part of this technological
evolution.”

The
initiative also reflects a broader shift towards structured collaboration
between academia and industry, enabling meaningful engagement with emerging
technologies at an early stage in medical training.

uNexGen
is part of Adani Healthcare’s long-term vision to transform healthcare delivery
by integrating clinical care, education and research within a single,
patient-first ecosystem, anchored in purpose and philanthropy.

This
vision was formalised on June 26, 2025, when the Adani Foundation, the social
welfare and development arm of the Adani Group, collaborated with the Datta
Meghe Institute of Higher Education and Research (DMIHER) to establish a global
Centre of Excellence (CoE) in healthcare education, with a focus on advancing
affordable and accessible care. Announced in Nagpur, the partnership marked a
significant step in building a future-ready healthcare ecosystem aligned with
real-world clinical needs.

Within
this framework, DMIHER serves as the academic cornerstone, advancing an applied
model of medical education that integrates undergraduate, postgraduate and
advanced clinical training with live care environments, research and emerging
technologies. The emphasis is on developing clinicians who are clinically
strong, technologically adept and ethically grounded.

Conceived
as a scalable platform, uNexGen extends this approach by aligning education,

     and technology-enabled higher education. 


NCR, India | April 16th, 2026: Bennett University has
opened admissions for its Online MBA programme, aimed at working professionals, early-career individuals,
and aspiring managers seeking flexible, high-quality management education.

The programme
represents a significant step in the university’s ongoing efforts to expand
access to its academic offerings beyond the physical campus. Bennett
University, based in Greater Noida, holds a NAAC A+ accreditation and is
approved by UGC-DEB to offer online programmes under the UGC Entitled Category.

Designed to reflect the evolving nature of careers and workplaces,
the Online MBA covers core management areas such as strategy, marketing, finance,
operations, and people management, along with emerging domains including
business analytics and digital communication. It is delivered through a blend
of live and recorded sessions, enabling learners to balance professional
commitments with structured academic engagement.

In an increasingly complex
and fast-evolving business environment, management education continues to play
a critical role in developing strategic thinking, leadership capability, and
data-driven decision-making. At the same time, as careers become more dynamic,
professionals are seeking learning pathways that integrate seamlessly with
their work lives. 

This shift is
increasingly reflected in both hiring patterns and workforce expectations.

According to the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) Corporate Recruiters Survey, nearly 90% of global
employers plan to hire MBA graduates, with 76% expecting to hire as many or
more MBA graduates compared to previous years. 

The report also
highlights growing acceptance of flexible learning formats, with 55% of
employers indicating that they value graduates of online or hybrid
programmes on par with traditional formats, particularly in remote and hybrid
work environments.

Online MBA programmes therefore address this shift by offering flexibility without
compromising academic structure, enabling learners to continue working while
building skills aligned with evolving industry needs.

This need for
continuous learning is further reinforced by broader workforce trends.

According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report, nearly 50% of all
employees will require reskilling by 2025, as rapid technological and
business transformation continues to reshape job roles and skill requirements
across industries.

Speaking on the
initiative, Mr. Vineet Jain, Chancellor, Bennett University, said:

“As the nature of
work continues to evolve, education must evolve alongside it. Professionals
today are looking for opportunities to grow without stepping away from their
careers. With Bennett Online, we are extending the university’s academic
strengths into a flexible format that allows learners to access high-quality,
future-ready education from anywhere. This initiative is also shaped by the
legacy of the Times Group, which has, for over 180 years, remained closely
connected with India’s evolving economy and aspirations.”

The programme
offers specialisations across key management domains, including Sales &amp;
Marketing, Finance, Human Resource Management, Logistics &amp; Supply Chain
Management, Business Analytics, and Media Management, allowing learners to
align their education with specific career pathways.

Prof. (Dr.) Raj
Singh, Vice Chancellor, Bennett University, added:

“The Online MBA has
been designed to combine academic rigour with practical relevance. The
curriculum emphasises critical thinking, data-driven decision-making, and
real-world application through case studies and projects. Our focus has been to
ensure that learners not only gain knowledge but are able to apply it
effectively in professional contexts.”

As demand for flexible, employer-recognised learning pathways continues
to grow, the Online MBA seeks to offer a structured yet adaptable learning experience supported
by technology-enabled delivery and academic mentorship.

Applications are
currently open for the upcoming cohort.

<title>How Small and Regional FMCG Brands Can Break Into Quick Commerce Platforms in 2026</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-small-and-regional-fmcg-brands-can-break-into-quick-commerce-platforms-in-2026</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-small-and-regional-fmcg-brands-can-break-into-quick-commerce-platforms-in-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Quick
commerce is no longer a metro-only trend or a niche convenience channel. Across
India, consumers are increasingly ordering groceries, personal care products,
and household essentials in under 10 minutes, and doing so as part of their
everyday routine. What began as an urban experiment has quickly become one of
the fastest-growing retail formats in the country.

According
to Mordor Intelligence, India’s quick commerce market is projected to reach
$3.65 billion, with platforms now expanding across more than 80 cities. At the
same time, grocery and FMCG categories are seeing nearly 38 percent
year-on-year growth on these platforms, as per SaaSUltra. This shift is not
just scale-driven. It is behavioural and structural.

The Perception Problem

For
many small and regional FMCG brands, quick commerce still feels out of reach.
There is a lingering perception that platforms like Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy
Instamart are built primarily for large national or well funded D2C brands.

That
assumption is rapidly becoming outdated.

As
the platforms expand into Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, including cities like
Cuttack, Raipur, Patna, Guwahati, Shillong, and Agartala, they are actively
looking for products that resonate with local consumers. This includes regional
snack brands, local spice manufacturers, and state level personal care labels
that already enjoy strong loyalty in their home markets.

The
demand is there. The gap lies in access.

What Actually Makes Quick Commerce Hard for Smaller Brands

The
barriers to entry into quick commerce are real, but they are not
insurmountable.

Unlike
traditional distribution, quick commerce requires consistent supply, strict
packaging and labelling compliance, and the ability to manage high-frequency
inventory replenishment. Operations become more complex when brands attempt to
scale across multiple cities at once.

Working
capital also becomes a constraint. Faster inventory cycles and platform-driven
payout structures can put pressure on cash flows, especially for growing
businesses. In addition, most regional brands do not have dedicated teams to
manage platform operations, compliance, and performance tracking.

This
combination of operational and financial challenges has historically kept
smaller players on the sidelines, leading to the rise of quick commerce
enablement platforms.

How Quick Commerce Enablement Brands like PickQuick Are Changing the
Equation

PickQuick,
built specifically to reshape the landscape by solving this problem for brands
that lack quick commerce infrastructure. Instead of building capabilities from
scratch, the partner brands can simplify entry and scale.

Through
PickQuick, a regional brand can get listed on Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart,
and JioMart across multiple cities without setting up separate operations for
each, acting as an operational bridge, enabling brands to go live across these
platforms through a single integrated system.

The
onboarding process is structured and efficient; it involves managing listings,
compliance, and platform integrations centrally, allowing brands to launch
across multiple cities simultaneously rather than expanding one location at a
time. This is especially valuable for regional brands looking to move beyond
their home markets.

Simplifying Operations and Financial Barriers

Once
live, PickQuick continues to handle inventory tracking, replenishment, and
performance monitoring. This reduces the need for brands to build large
internal teams and allows them to focus on product quality and demand
generation.

Importantly,
PickQuick’s working model also addresses the financial barrier. By operating on
a structure that reduces upfront inventory burden, it makes participation in
quick commerce far more accessible without requiring significant capital
investment.

This
is a critical advantage for businesses in emerging markets across Odisha, the
Northeast, and other Tier 2 and Tier 3 regions. With over 47 brands already
onboarded across more than 31 cities, PickQuick is demonstrating that scale in
quick commerce is no longer reserved for large enterprises alone.

Why 2026 Is the Right Time to Move

Timing
plays a crucial role in any new distribution channel.

Quick
commerce is still in its expansion phase. Coverage is increasing, consumer
adoption is accelerating, and category depth is improving. According to
DemandSage, the sector is also expected to generate over 2.4 million
blue-collar jobs by 2027, indicating the scale at which infrastructure is being
built.

For
regional brands, this creates a window of opportunity with the oncoming of
quick commerce enablement platforms.

Those
with strong local recall already understand their consumers and have proven
demand. Products like packaged namkeen, regional masalas, and herbal personal
care ranges are well suited to the high-frequency, convenience-driven nature of
quick commerce.

The Road Ahead for Regional Brands

With
operational complexity and financial barriers reducing, entry into this channel
is no longer dependent on size alone. It is increasingly about readiness and
execution.

As
PickQuick and other quick commerce enablement platforms expand, 2026 could be
the year regional brands finally get their fair share of the quick commerce
boom. ]]></description>

<title>72&#45;Hour Fixed Teeth Solution by Dr. Vikas Gowd Revolutionizes Dental Care in India</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/72-hour-fixed-teeth-solution-by-dr-vikas-gowd-revolutionizes-dental-care-in-india</link>

<description><![CDATA[ HYDERABAD,
April 2026 : For millions of Indians struggling with
missing or damaged teeth, the prospect of a full, confident smile has long
seemed distant and expensive. Dr. Gowd Dental Hospitals, one of India&#039;s most
celebrated dental institutions with an unbroken legacy of nearly six decades,
is changing that narrative, offering complete full-mouth dental implantation
with fixed temporary teeth ready in just 72 hours.

With 59 years of dental
excellence and globally trained specialists, Hyderabad&#039;s most trusted implant
centre now delivers full-mouth rehabilitation with temporary fixed teeth within
three days, transforming smiles across India and beyond.

Rooted in Hyderabad and
trusted across South India, Dr. Gowd Dental Hospitals operates three
state-of-the-art branches in Hitech City, Banjara Hills, and Secunderabad.
Under the leadership of the internationally acclaimed Dr. Vikas Gowd,
the first EDA (European Dental Association) Expert from India, the hospital has
built its reputation on precision, patient comfort, and long-lasting results.
For those considering a permanent solution to tooth loss, explore the range of the best dental implants in Hyderabad now
available at the hospital.

 

&quot;Missing
teeth no longer have to hold you back. We give patients their confidence and
their lives back in just three days.&quot;

 

— Dr. Vikas Gowd,
Founder &amp; India’s Best Implant Specialist, Dr. Gowd Dental Hospitals

 

WHAT
IS FULL MOUTH DENTAL IMPLANTATION?

Full Mouth Dental
Implantation replaces all missing or severely damaged teeth using titanium
implants, small posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as
artificial tooth roots. Through a natural process called osseointegration,
these implants fuse with the bone over time, providing a foundation for a full
set of teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. This is the
gold standard for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth due to
decay, injury, gum disease, or ageing, and for those exhausted by the
limitations of removable dentures.

 

THE
72-HOUR PROCESS: STEP BY STEP

 

●       
Step 1 — Consultation &amp; Planning: A
detailed examination using 3D imaging and digital scanning precisely maps the
patient&#039;s dental structure before any procedure begins.

●       
Step 2 — Implant Placement:
Titanium implants are placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia or
sedation, ensuring complete patient comfort throughout.

●       
Step 3 — Fixed Temporary Teeth in 72 Hours: Within
three days of implant placement, temporary fixed teeth are attached. Patients
eat, speak, and smile with full confidence almost immediately.

●       
Step 4 — Healing Period (3–6 Months):
The implants gradually fuse with the jawbone. Patients follow a simple care
routine and attend regular follow-up visits during this phase.

●       
Step 5 — Permanent Teeth:
Once healing is complete, the temporary teeth are replaced with permanent ones,
offering superior strength, comfort, and a natural appearance built to last for
decades.

This rapid turnaround
is particularly valuable for working professionals and international patients
who cannot afford extended time away from their routines. Dr. Gowd Dental
Hospitals has become a destination of choice for patients travelling from
across India and abroad, a testament to its global standards of care. Learn
more about the hospital&#039;s international recognition at global standards, local care: Dr. Vikas Gowd representing India
in the EU &amp; UK Digital Dentistry Consensus.

 

TECHNOLOGY
THAT SETS DR. GOWD APART

The hospital&#039;s
investment in cutting-edge dental technology underpins every procedure:

●       
Digital Scanning —
Precise, comfortable impressions with no messy moulds.

●       
CAD/CAM Technology — Teeth
designed and fabricated on the same day.

●       
Guided Implant Surgery — Highly
accurate and safe placement for every patient.

●       
Laser Dentistry —
Minimal pain, reduced bleeding, and faster healing.

●       
3D Imaging &amp; Treatment Planning —
A comprehensive view of dental structure before any procedure begins.

<title>From Sai Baba Stories to Social Truths: Aushim Khetarpal Brings ‘Children of God’ to the Big Screen</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Aushim Khetarpal’s ‘Children of God’ Poster Out; Sai Baba Creator Champions a Bold Social NarrativeAushim Khetarpal Backs ‘Children of God’; Sai Baba Filmmaker Turns Spotlight on Identity and AcceptanceThe first poster of the upcoming Hindi film Children of God has been unveiled, marking a significant new chapter for Aushim Khetarpal—widely known for his work on Sai Baba–based films and television content. With this project, Khetarpal shifts from spiritual storytelling to a hard-hitting social narrative, bringing focus to themes of identity, rejection, and acceptance within the LGBTQIA+ community.The film has been made under the guidance of Aushim Khetarpal—an actor and spiritual influencer known for backing socially relevant cinema. He has also been associated with projects based on Sai Baba, reflecting his inclination towards meaningful and inspirational storytelling.Speaking about the film, Khetarpal said, “Children of God is not just a film—it represents countless unheard voices. It highlights that identity is not defined by society but discovered within. Accepting oneself is the greatest act of courage.”Directed by Ashish Saxena, the film tells the story of Amit, a young man who faces rejection from his family and society due to his identity. In search of survival and anonymity, he moves to Bhopal, where he finds acceptance within a transgender community and begins to embrace his true self as Amita. However, just as life begins to offer hope, a betrayal threatens to disrupt his journey, until a chance encounter with a mentor helps him rediscover inner strength and self-worth.The screenplay and dialogues are penned by Rajan Lyallpuri, while the music has been composed by Raja Ali, Rupesh Mishra, and Akshay Raju Saxena. The film features Aushim Khetarpal along with Akash Verma, who plays the dual role of Amit/Amita, and Raadhika Khetarpal in the lead. The supporting cast includes Sarthak Kapoor, Prince Rajeev, NK Singh, Bhavya Singh, Raj Chaudhary, Ranesha Agarwal, Abhishek Sinha, Shobhna Khatri, and Annu Sharma.Positioned as a social drama with elements of inspiration and coming-of-age storytelling, Children of God aims to highlight issues of identity, dignity, and human rights through an emotionally engaging narrative. ]]></description>

<title>Why Global Events Are Driving Gold Rates Higher in 2026</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-global-events-are-driving-gold-rates-higher-in-2026</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-global-events-are-driving-gold-rates-higher-in-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The sound of gold
bangles at a neighborhood jeweler often carries more meaning than a simple
purchase. For years, these pieces have quietly held family savings against
uncertain times. By mid-2026, that steady dependability starts to show up in a
more practical way. For someone running a shop in Ludhiana or a small unit in
Coimbatore, checking the gold rate today
doesn’t feel like just looking at a number anymore. It reflects a stronger
safety net built over the past year. This rise is not random. It comes from
deeper global shifts that have pushed gold to the center of financial security.

The Global Pulse: Why
2026 is Different

In 2026, global trade
and financial trust are under pressure. For many households in India,
understanding why gold prices are rising has become practical, not theoretical.
It now shapes decisions around weddings, business needs, and emergency
planning.

When international
relations get strained or when the dominant global currencies show signs of
instability, the world’s smartest money flows into &quot;safe havens.&quot;
Gold does not rely on any government or currency system. Its value comes from
its physical nature and long history of trust. In uncertain times, this makes
it a preferred store of value.

Geopolitical Friction
and the Search for Security

The primary engine
driving the current price hike is the heightened state of tension between major
global powers. In an era where trade sanctions and currency wars have become
common, investors have moved away from &quot;paper assets&quot; like
international stocks and bonds. These assets are vulnerable to political
decisions, whereas gold remains neutral.

1. Central Banks
Leading the Charge

One of the most
powerful drivers has been the silent but massive buying spree by central banks.
From Asia to Eastern Europe, national banks have been loading up on gold
reserves. By reducing their dependence on foreign currencies and filling their
vaults with bullion, these institutions provide a solid floor for prices. When
the world’s most powerful financial bodies show such high conviction in gold,
it sends a clear signal to the rest of the market.

2. The Battle Against
&quot;Sticky&quot; Inflation

Despite various
attempts to cool down the global economy, the cost of living has remained
stubbornly high in 2026. Historically, gold is the ultimate hedge against
inflation. When the purchasing power of paper money drops, the value of gold
typically climbs. This is one of the main reasons people closely track the Gold
rate today, as it reflects how well their savings are holding value against
rising costs.

Transforming Gold into
a Strategic Tool

With gold prices at
higher levels, it becomes easier to access funds without selling assets. A gold loan allows the use of
existing jewelry to meet short term financial needs, while still retaining
ownership. This liquidity can be used to clear high-interest debts, fund a new
business venture, or manage a sudden medical crisis.

In such a high-stakes
environment, the choice of a partner is the most critical decision. A well-established
financial institution reduces risks around valuation, storage, and processing.
Organizations such as Muthoot Finance follow structured processes, provide
secure storage, and ensure standardized valuation practices. This helps avoid
common issues seen in unorganized lending setups. Their specialized
vaults and insurance policies ensure that gold is as safe as it would be in a
fortress, while their streamlined processes provide cash in hand in a matter of
minutes.

Comparing Options: Why
Gold Loans Lead the Way

●       
Gold loans offer significantly faster access
to funds, usually being processed in under 30 minutes, whereas unsecured
personal loans typically take between 2 to 7 working days.

●       
When it comes to interest calculation, gold
loans often have lower interest rates because they are secured against an
asset, while personal loans carry higher interest rates due to the lack of
collateral.

●       
In terms of repayment variety, gold loans
provide flexible options such as bullet payments or monthly repayment
structures, whereas personal loans usually follow a rigid system with fixed
EMIs.

●       
Credit history is not the primary factor for
gold loans, making them more accessible to a wider range of borrowers. In
contrast, personal loans require strict CIBIL score checks before approval.

●       
Lastly, gold loans allow you to retain
ownership of your gold asset, while personal loans do not involve any asset
ownership at all.

Debunking Common Myths
in the 2026 Market

With gold prices at
record highs, several misconceptions have started to circulate. It is important
for a responsible borrower to distinguish fact from fiction:

●       
Myth: &quot;Gold is just for hoarding in a
locker.&quot;

○     
Fact: In
2026, gold will be the most versatile financial tool. A Gold loan allows a
person to use the capital &quot;locked&quot; in the jewelry without actually
losing the jewelry itself.

●       
Myth: &quot;The gold rate will crash soon, so
I should sell now.&quot;

○     
Fact:
Markets do fluctuate. However, current global trends behind why gold prices are
rising, such as central bank demand, indicate continued strength in the near
term. Borrowing against it allows one to benefit from future price rises while
using the money today.

●       
Myth: &quot;Every lender offers the same
deal.&quot;

○     
Fact:
Security and transparency vary wildly. A reputable Financial Institution
provides a clear &quot;per gram&quot; valuation and does not have hidden
&quot;valuation fees&quot; that eat into the loan amount.

Steps to Optimize Your
Financial Position

For anyone looking to
navigate this high-price era, here are three expert recommendations:


 Leverage the Higher LTV:
     When the Gold rate today is high, the loan amount available against the
     same gold increases due to a better Loan-to-Value ratio.
 Check for Overdraft Facilities:
     For small business owners, some institutions offer an overdraft against
     gold. This means you only pay interest on the money you actually use,
     which is a game changer for managing cash flow.
 Prioritize Safety Above All: At higher gold values, proper storage and documentation become
     more important. Choosing a regulated institution ensures safety, insurance
     coverage, and proper records.


Conclusion: Empowering
Your Financial Future

In 2026, gold became
both more expensive and more relevant as a financial tool. Understanding why
gold prices are rising allows better financial planning instead of reactive
decisions.

The secret to financial
success in 2026 is not just owning gold, however, knowing how to use it wisely.
By partnering with a stalwart like Muthoot Finance,
one ensures that their family’s hard-earned wealth is protected while also
remaining productive.

Your Action Plan:
Don&#039;t wait for the next global shock to react. Review current gold values,
compare lending options, and make decisions based on immediate financial needs
while ensuring asset safety. Use the strength of your gold to fuel your dreams
today, while keeping your assets secure for tomorrow.

<title>Auraska Ventures launches India’s first integrated platform for alternate investments, advisory, and venture building in the cultural economy</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The Mumbai-based platform, founded by Vishal Mahajan, Founder
and Chief Executive Officer, Auraska Ventures, along with Stuti Shetty, Chief
Business Officer, Auraska Ventures, combines a ₹500 crore Category II AIF, a
USD 3Bn+ advisory team’s track record, and active ventures in celebrity digital
rights, legal tech, and consumer IP—betting that India’s soft power is its most
under-capitalised opportunity.

Mumbai, April 16, 2026: Auraska Ventures Pvt Ltd today announced its launch as a new-age
alternate investments and strategic advisory platform designed to invest in,
advise, and build businesses across India’s cultural economy — spanning media,
entertainment, sports, gaming, fashion, content IP, and celebrity-driven
consumer brands.

The platform brings together three integrated businesses: a
strategic advisory practice with a leadership track record of over USD 3
billion in transactions; the Auraska Opportunities Fund, a planned ₹500 crore
SEBI-registered Category II AIF; and an active venture-building arm currently
incubating businesses in celebrity digital rights protection, legal tech, and
consumer IP-driven brands.

Auraska is led by Vishal Mahajan, Founder and CEO, who brings 27
years of experience in alternate investments and investment banking, closing over
USD 2 billion in deals including pioneering M&amp;A transactions and
investments in the Consumer sectors including ORRA diamonds and Kisankonnect
e-grocery. He has been a founding team member at YES Bank Investment Banking,
EY across Mumbai/New York and focuses on new-age businesses.

The CBO of Auraska Ventures, Stuti Shetty, has a background in
legal studies in England &amp; Wales. Being recognized as a dynamic young
leader, Stuti has built strong expertise in client relationship management
across sectors. She has successfully cultivated relationships with
High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) across the UAE, India and the UK.

Auraska’s launch comes at a moment when India’s cultural and
creative economy is receiving unprecedented policy attention, institutional interest,
and global recognition. India’s media and entertainment sector reached ₹2.5
trillion in 2024 and is projected to cross ₹3 trillion by 2027. The online
gaming sector is growing at 28% CAGR, projected to reach ₹33,243 crore by FY28.
Between 2 to 2.5 million digital creators now influence over ₹29.6 lakh crore
in annual consumer spending. India’s esports sector has collectively raised
$825 million, with over 200 active companies.

The Union Budget 2026-27 formally recognised the ‘Orange
Economy’ as a national growth priority, announcing AVGC Content Creator Labs in
15,000 schools and 500 colleges. Meanwhile, India’s AIF industry has crossed
₹15.7 trillion in commitments, growing at nearly 30% CAGR over five years.
Indian family offices have pushed alternative allocations past 40% — the
highest in Asia-Pacific. Yet there is virtually no dedicated institutional
capital vehicle designed to back the sectors where India’s cultural influence
is generating the most global traction.

The Auraska Platform: Three Businesses, One Conviction

Strategic Advisory. Auraska’s
advisory platform operates across deal advisory, M&amp;A, fundraising, and
cross-border strategic partnerships in consumer, media, sports, gaming, real
estate, healthcare and IP businesses. The leadership team has collectively
advised on over USD 3 billion in transactions.

Auraska Opportunities Fund. A planned ₹500 crore SEBI-registered Category II AIF, investing
in 10–15 companies from seed to Series B across consumer, media, sports,
gaming, fashion, and IP businesses. The fund blends equity with select
high-yield debt opportunities. The LP base HNIs, celebrities, sports
personalities, family offices, and corporates — creates a model where investors
also serve as cultural amplifiers for portfolio companies.

Venture Building. Auraska
is actively incubating businesses in celebrity digital rights protection and
monetisation in an AI content world, legal tech solutions for the Indian legal
services industry, and consumer IP-driven brands. The celebrity digital rights
venture is particularly timely: India’s IT Amendment Rules 2026 mandate 3-hour
takedowns of AI-generated deepfake content, and landmark lawsuits by prominent
Indian celebrities have established judicial precedent around personality
rights in the AI age.

The three businesses are designed as a self-reinforcing
flywheel. Advisory relationships generate proprietary deal flow for the fund.
Fund investments create advisory mandates. Venture building gives the team
operator-level insight into the sectors they invest in.

Speaking on the launch, Vishal Mahajan, Founder and Chief
Executive Officer, Auraska Ventures, said: “India’s cultural economy — its
media, entertainment, sports, gaming, and creator ecosystem — is generating
global influence at a scale that has no precedent. The government’s recognition
of the Orange Economy, the regulatory clarity around gaming and digital rights,
and the sheer demographic energy of the country’s creative sectors have created
an investable opportunity that is both timely and structural. Yet institutional
capital has been largely absent from these sectors. Auraska is built to change
that. We are not just launching a fund. We are building a platform that
combines advisory, investing, and venture building into one integrated model,
because these sectors reward operators who understand the ecosystem, not just
financiers who deploy capital from a distance.”

Commenting on the launch, Stuti Shetty, CBO, Auraska Ventures,
said: “India is at an inflection point in the orange economy and Auraska
Ventures is well placed to capitalize on the emerging opportunities. A key
differentiator for Auraska is the strength and depth of its HNI relationships.
Our investor base is not just capital, it is influence, access, and strategic
value. By bringing together HNIs, celebrities, sports personalities, and family
offices, we are building a network where investors actively participate in
shaping outcomes for portfolio companies. This creates a powerful alignment
between capital and culture, enabling founders to scale not just with funding,
but with visibility, credibility, and market access.”

With its launch, Auraska Ventures becomes one of the few
platforms in India to operate across strategic advisory, institutional fund
management, and venture building as an integrated model — and the first to do
so with a singular focus on the country’s cultural economy. As India’s soft
power continues to gain global recognition and domestic policy support, Auraska
is positioning itself to be the institutional capital partner of choice for the
businesses and entrepreneurs shaping this economy.

Auraska’s stated long-term ambition is to deploy over a billion
dollars across multiple investment vehicles over the coming decade.

Auraska is backed by a stellar advisory board which includes,
Mr. Ameet B. Naik, founder of Naik Naik &amp; Co., Mr. Rajaram Ajgaonkar,
founder of R.M. Ajgaonkar &amp; Co; Mr. Shailesh Haribhakti, a sustainability
leader and Mr. Ramesh Jude Thomas, founder of EQUiTOR.

About Auraska Ventures

Auraska is a new-age alternate investments and strategic
advisory platform backed by influential business families with over two decades
of investing experience.

Positioned at the intersection of capital and culture, Auraska
is the first platform to build an integrated investment model focused on
India’s rapidly expanding media, entertainment, gaming, sports, fashion, and
creator economy—collectively emerging as a multi-trillion-rupee opportunity and
a national priority.

Auraska operates across three core pillars—strategic advisory,
institutional investing, and venture building—creating a unique capital
flywheel that enables proprietary deal flow, strategic partnerships, and
long-term value creation.

Auraska Ventures is shortly launching India’s first Orange
Economy dedicated ₹500 crore Category II AIF to unleash the soft power of
India. India is at an inflection point in the Orange Economy—as evidenced by
recent high-return deals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Shraddha
Kapoor’s investment in Palmonas. Auraska is uniquely positioned to capitalize
on this multi-decade opportunity leveraging its deep expertise and strong
ecosystem relationships, with an ambition to invest over $1 billion across
multiple investment vehicles over the coming decade.

With over 75 years of combined leadership experience and more
than 50 deals closed, Auraska Ventures is positioned as a trusted partner for
investors and founders, leveraging its expertise in complex deal structuring,
regulatory frameworks, and global investor networks. The firm aims to
institutionalize capital deployment while supporting the growth and scale of
next-generation businesses in India. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ BAGGGEL
Foundation, a community dedicated to nurturing the next generation of women
CEOs, successfully concluded the third edition of its flagship conference, Being
CEO Ready, today at the Hotel Royal Orchid, Bengaluru.

Bringing
together over 200 senior leaders, executives, and aspiring women professionals,
the conference delivered a full-day, immersive journey into the life of a
CEO—from purpose-driven leadership and boardroom strategy to stakeholder
navigation, personal leadership style, and the realities of the corner office

Building
on the momentum of its earlier editions, the 3rd Edition deepened its focus on
experiential learning, as attendees stepped into the role of a CEO for a
day—engaging in high-stakes simulations, candid keynotes, and intimate mentoring
conversations. The conference instils the conviction that the CEO seat is
legitimately theirs to pursue. Through keynotes that do not soften hard truths
and a community that holds each member to a higher standard, BAGGGEL is
actively building the leadership pipeline that Indian business genuinely needs.

The
conference brought together an exceptional lineup of leaders across business,
technology, and governance. Sudhakar Varanasi, Chief Mentor
for GenAI, Sunil Arora, CMD of ABS India &amp; Trustee BAGGGEL, Shreya
Krishnan, Managing Director India at AnitaB.Org, Dr. Geetha Manjunath, Founder of Niramai Health Analytix,
Satyakam Mohanty, Co-Founder &amp; Managing Partner at Wyser Capital headlined
a day of sharp, unfiltered conversations on what it truly takes to lead at the
top.

They were
joined by  Pankaj Rai, Group Chief Data
&amp; Analytics Officer at Aditya Birla Group, Vijaya Deepti PH, Board Member,
Global IEEE, Indrajeet Sengupta of AIKYOS Consulting Partners,  Dr. Asra Ali, among others, collectively
bringing decades of C-suite experience, board-level perspective, and
cross-industry insights to a room of highly engaged audience. BAGGGEL members stood
out as distinctive voices—united by community, challenging convention, and
forging ahead with purpose.

India has
no shortage of talented, experienced, and ambitious women in the workforce.
What it has lacked, historically, is the infrastructure to translate that
talent into top-tier leadership. Being CEO Ready is designed to change
that.

Impact by
the Numbers

●     
500+ senior leaders transformed through the Being CEO Ready
Conference across three editions. 

●     
Global Perspectives: Speakers from leading organizations including Intel, Maersk,
Target, Dell, Aditya Birla Group, Wyser Capital, ABS India and many more.


●     
3rd Consecutive Year of sold-out attendance at Hotel Royal Orchid, Bengaluru.


●     
8+ Hours of immersive programming spanning keynotes, panels, and
simulations. 

Across
three editions, it has built something rarer and more durable: a community of
500+ women who collectively shift what ambition looks like for women in Indian
business.

The
2026 edition drew senior professionals from across industries, each at
different stages of the leadership ladder, but united by a shared conviction
that the corner office is not a distant aspiration. It is the next step.

“For far too long,
women have been told to wait: to be ready, to be chosen, to be seen. BAGGGEL
exists to change that. The future of Indian business will not be built without
women at the table, and we are here to ensure women are leading it.”
- Supria Dhanda, Founder, BAGGGEL Foundation &amp; Co-Founder, Wyser
Capital

“Trust defines the CEO
mandate. BAGGGEL is enabling women leaders to build it early and lead with
conviction”. As a trustee, I am committed to this shift where more women are
ready to take the CEO seat” - Sunil Arora, CMD ABS India Pvt. Ltd. &amp;
Trustee, BAGGGEL Foundation

With
every edition, the conference grows its network of women who have been in the
room, had the hard conversations, and returned to their organisations more
equipped, more visible, and more determined. That is the impact that BAGGGEL
measures: not in applause, but in promotions, board seats, and founding stories
that follow.

“Women
don’t lack ambition- they often lack access, amplification and right platforms.
BAGGGEL is about preparing women to not wait for the seat, but to take it.” Said
Supria Dhanda, as she wrapped up a high energy conference underscoring
BAGGGEL’s mission to shape a more balanced and inclusive future of enterprise.

About
Bagggel

BAGGGEL,
powered by Greed, Grab, Grain, is a Section 8, not for profit company dedicated
to nurturing and empowering women leaders to ascend to the highest echelons of

<title>Pune RMC Plants Temporarily Pause Operations from April 16</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/pune-rmc-plants-temporarily-pause-operations-from-april-16</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/pune-rmc-plants-temporarily-pause-operations-from-april-16</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune:
April 16:  The Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) sector, a
critical backbone of Pune’s infrastructure growth, has announced a temporary
and structured operational pause across all RMC plants in the district. The
shutdown  has come into effect from
midnight of April 15 and will continue for a few days.

This
decision has been taken collectively by the industry as a proactive initiative
to strengthen compliance, safety, environmental performance, and operational
standards. The association clarified that this is not a strike, but a planned
step toward long-term sustainability and standardization.

Industry
Significance

●       
Nearly 9 lakh cubic meters of concrete
supplied every month

●       
Around 300 operational RMC plants

●       
Estimated ₹450 crore monthly turnover

●       
Approx. ₹5,400 crore annual contribution

The
sector directly employs 12,000 workers and supports nearly 24,000 indirect
jobs, impacting over 30,000 families. From metro projects and highways to
housing and industrial developments, the RMC industry remains a pillar of
Pune’s infrastructure ecosystem.

Clarifying
Pollution Concerns

As
per findings by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board:

●       
Road dust contributes ~61% of PM10 pollution

●       
Vehicular emissions contribute ~18%

●       
Construction dust contributes ~11%

●       
Industrial emissions contribute only ~1–2%

The
association reiterates that RMC plants contribute only a small fraction of
construction-related dust and are continuously adopting advanced dust-control
and environmental measures.

RMC
Industry: Leading Circular Economy (Fly Ash &amp; GGBS Utilisation)

After
independence, India’s energy generation significantly shifted toward thermal
power, producing large quantities of fly ash. Similarly, the steel industry
generates GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) as a byproduct.

The
RMC industry plays a vital role in recycling both these industrial wastes.

As
per practices aligned with Cement Manufacturers’ Association:

•
Fly Ash Usage:

Typically
15% to 20% in concrete mixes (even higher in blended cement)

•
GGBS Usage (Steel Waste):

Around
30% to 40% in concrete, improving durability and sustainability

Environmental
Impact

●       
Converts thermal power waste into useful
construction material

●       
Recycles steel industry byproducts

●       
Reduces clinker consumption → lowers CO₂
emissions

●       
Produces stronger, more durable, eco-friendly
concrete

 For over 25 years, the RMC industry has been
among the largest recyclers of industrial waste in India.

“We
are not just producing concrete ,we are transforming industrial waste into one
of the most sustainable construction materials.”

Impact
of RMC Shutdown on Construction &amp; Environment

The
association also highlighted concerns raised by CREDAI Pune Metro:

In
the absence of RMC supply, developers will be forced to revert to on-site
concrete mixing, which may lead to:

●       
Increased dust pollution due to unregulated
material handling

●       
Storage challenges for sand, cement,
aggregates, and fly ash

●       
Reduced quality control and consistency

Additionally:

●       
Heavy vehicle movement will increase
significantly

●       
One RMC transit mixer will be replaced by
multiple raw material trucks

●       
Traffic congestion and emissions will rise

●       
Project timelines will be impacted, affecting
the entire real estate value chain

“Stopping
RMC does not reduce pollution — it risks increasing it while compromising
quality and efficiency.”

Purpose
of Temporary Shutdown

During
this period, RMC plants will:

●       
Conduct internal compliance audits

●       
Upgrade dust-control systems

●       
Implement transit mixer safety improvements

●       
Train workforce on standard operating
procedures (SOPs)

●       
Standardize documentation and operational
practices

A
Quality and Safety Certification Framework will also be introduced for all
member plants.

Industry
Challenges

Despite
continuous engagement over the past nine months with:

●       
District Administration

●       
Police Authorities

●       
Maharashtra Pollution Control Board

●       
Municipal Corporations

…the
industry is still awaiting a clear and unified regulatory framework.

“We
have waited for nine months , now it is time for a decision.”

Key
Industry Demands

●       
Single-window clearance system

●       
Uniform RMC policy across Maharashtra

●       
Scientific traffic time-slotting for transit
mixers

●       
Clear environmental compliance guidelines

●       
Clarity on temporary vs permanent batching
plants

Appeal
to Stakeholders

Builders,
contractors, and infrastructure agencies are advised to:

●       
Source concrete only from certified RMC plants

●       
Support compliant and environmentally
responsible suppliers

Closing
Statement

“We
are not the problem , we are part of the solution. In fact, we are one of the
largest industries recycling fly ash and GGBS, contributing directly to a
cleaner and more sustainable environment.” ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In many Indian homes,
gold just sits in a locker, untouched for years, often something that’s been
passed down over time. It holds meaning, no doubt, but today it also carries
real financial weight. Still, most of it stays unused, even as everyday expenses
like education, small business needs, or sudden cash gaps keep showing up. This
gap often exists due to hesitation or lack of awareness about how gold-backed
borrowing works today. Instead of leaving valuable assets idle, gold-backed
borrowing offers a practical way to access funds when required.

Breaking Down the 2026
Gold Reality

The global bullion
market has seen a massive, steady climb over the last couple of years. Checking
the Gold Rate Today
reveals a figure that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. This spike is
not just a arbitrary number on a screen; it directly translates to real
borrowing power. When an individual opts for a Gold loan, the lender calculates
the disbursal based on the current market value of the metal.

Because of these
soaring valuations, the Gold loan per gram has hit an all-time high in 2026.
The same bangle or necklace that didn’t amount to much earlier can now bring in
a far higher value. It gives quick access to money when needed, without having to
sell something that holds personal value or letting it go in a rush.

How Asset-Backed
Liquidity Actually Works

Many people still
confuse borrowing against gold with the old, predatory system of local
moneylenders. Modern banking has flipped that script entirely. Since the loan
is backed by physical gold, the risk for the lender is very low. Since the loan
is backed by gold, lenders face lower risk, which makes approval simpler and
faster.

To plan effectively, a
smart borrower should never walk into a branch blindly. Using a digital gold loan Calculator
beforehand is the best way to map out expenses. These online tools show exactly
how much money can be borrowed against specific weights of gold and what the
monthly interest outgo will look like. It removes the guesswork and keeps the
borrower in complete control of the transaction.

Why the Choice of
Lending Partner Changes Everything

With gold holding such
high value today, handing it over to just any shop or unorganized lender is a
massive risk. This is why choosing a well-established financial institution
becomes important. Established players such as Muthoot Finance are often
preferred due to structured processes, secure storage, and consistent valuation
practices.

When dealing with life
savings, security becomes paramount. A large Financial Institution like Muthoot
Finance utilizes specialized, high-security vaults and provides comprehensive
insurance for every gram of gold pledged. Local pawnbrokers cannot offer that
level of peace of mind. Their valuation processes are also strictly aligned
with the actual Gold Rate Today, ensuring valuation is aligned with
prevailing market prices.

Busting the Top Myths
Keeping Your Gold Locked Up

●     
The &quot;I will lose my jewelry&quot; myth:
Many fear that pledging gold is the first step to losing it forever. In truth, gold loans are heavily regulated.
Gold acts as security for the loan. Once the borrowed amount and interest are
paid back, the jewelry returns to the owner&#039;s hands in the exact same
condition.

●     
The &quot;It takes too long&quot; myth:
People assume that pledging gold involves mountains of paperwork. In 2026, the
process is practically paperless. Basic identity proof and the physical gold
are often all that is needed to get cash in a bank account in under an hour.

●     
The &quot;It is only for emergencies&quot;
myth: This is a big mistake. Many small business
owners use gold loans to manage short-term cash needs.

Smart Steps for
Borrowers in 2026

To make the most of
this financial tool, follow these specific guidelines:


 Track the LTV (Loan-to-Value) limits:
     The Reserve Bank of India defines how much loan can be given against gold
     value. When gold prices are high, that allowed percentage translates to a
     massive amount of cash.
 Compare available schemes carefully:
     Do not just look at the interest rate. Look at how the interest is
     calculated. Some schemes favor short-term borrowers, while others are
     better for long-term repayment.
 Run the numbers first: Always input your gold&#039;s weight into a gold loan Calculator on
     the lender&#039;s website. It helps set expectations and prevents
     over-borrowing.


A Calm Approach to
Wealth Management

Treating gold as a dead
asset sitting in a safe is an outdated mindset. In a volatile financial era,
smart resource management dictates that every asset must work for the family.
Using physical gold to wipe out high-interest credit card debt or to fund a
cash-flowing business venture is just sound financial planning.

As a premier Financial
Institution, Muthoot Finance has built its reputation over decades by
prioritizing customer transparency and asset safety. Choosing them means
trusting a legacy that understands the emotional and financial weight of Indian
gold.

Conclusion: Act While
the Market Favors You

The current spike in
gold value represents a unique window of opportunity. The Gold Rate Today makes
your idle jewelry more valuable than it has ever been in history. Leaving it
locked away when it could be funding dreams or lowering financial stress simply
does not make sense.

By leveraging a digital
gold loan Calculator and keeping an eye on the surging Gold loan per gram
rates, any household can turn physical metal into active, productive capital.
Do not wait for a financial emergency to realize the power sitting in the
family locker. Taking a planned approach can help turn idle gold into useful
financial support when needed.

technology to improve healthcare access and continuity of care.

Through this model, the
organization aims to expand services to underserved and rural regions, offer
tele-consultations with expert doctors, provide personalized treatment plans,
and enable remote patient monitoring. The initiative is expected to build a
scalable and technology-driven healthcare ecosystem across regions.

Disease Reversal

In collaboration with
Miracle Drinks and Neo Ayurveda, a wellness initiative founded by S. M. Raju in
2016, Ayuzing Health Care is introducing structured lifestyle disease reversal
programs.

These programs combine
traditional Ayurvedic principles with modern scientific practices and focus on
treating chronic conditions such as Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), diabetes,
cardiac disorders, cancer (as supportive care), and other lifestyle-related
diseases.

The approach emphasizes
root-cause diagnosis, personalized nutrition, integrative medical treatments,
and long-term lifestyle correction, aiming to improve quality of life and
promote sustainable recovery.

across India.

Along with bigger

significant towards innovation. These platforms promote peer learning,

programs, Geeta University still maintains a high level of social
responsibility. The institution has been very active in reaching out to

this year was Cyber awareness for police to enhance digital literacy and
safe internet habits. Such programs contribute to building awareness around
cybersecurity challenges in an increasingly digital society.

organised rural health drives, focusing on healthcare awareness and
preventive practices in underserved areas. These initiatives allowed students
to actively participate in community service while applying their academic
knowledge in practical settings.

In the agricultural sector,
the University promoted cultivational innovations (drone &amp; natural
farming), encouraging the adoption of sustainable and technology-driven
practices among farmers. These efforts highlight the institution’s approach to
linking education with community development and social impact.

Student Engagement
&amp; Holistic Development



The University places
strong emphasis on holistic student development through academic and
co-curricular engagement. Students are encouraged to participate in activities
that build leadership and teamwork.

Student
Development Platforms

●     
Active participation in technical clubs
(CodeForge/HackForge)

●     
Recognition through various sports
achievements

●     
Opportunities to excel in cultural and
academic activities, promoting co-curricular excellence

This balanced approach
ensures the development of confident, skilled, and well-rounded individuals.

The Future: 2026
Strategic Vision

As Geeta University
enters the next academic cycle, the institution has some future plans of
augmenting the academic ecosystem by increasing research activities, forging
stronger ties with the industry and international collaborations.

The priorities of the
next year are the growth of coding and innovation cohorts, more access to
international certifications, better industry-academia connections, and
improvement of project-learning in all disciplines. The university leadership
reckons that these programs will keep on making Geeta University a progressive
institution which is focused on developing socially responsible professionals

<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/jindal-global-law-school-signs-mou-with-adr-odr-international-for-dispute-resolution-studies-and-programmes</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/jindal-global-law-school-signs-mou-with-adr-odr-international-for-dispute-resolution-studies-and-programmes</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, April 16, 2026 : In a significant step toward strengthening
global legal education and advancing the practice of alternative dispute
resolution, Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) at O.P. Jindal Global University
(JGU) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ADR ODR
International Limited, a leading global provider of dispute resolution training
and services and a  thought leader in
training from international conflict management to negotiation, mediation and
arbitration.

The
MoU signing ceremony, held at the JGU International Academy, New Delhi, marks
the beginning of a strategic collaboration aimed at promoting excellence in
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), including mediation, arbitration, and
online dispute resolution (ODR). The partnership seeks to create new
opportunities for students, professionals, and stakeholders through
high-quality training programmes, academic initiatives, and international
engagements.

Speaking
on the occasion, Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, the Founding Vice Chancellor of
O.P. Jindal Global University, emphasised the transformative potential of the
collaboration and said, “This partnership represents a forward-looking
commitment to reimagining legal education in a globalised world. By integrating
rigorous academic learning with practical training in dispute resolution, we
aim to prepare a new generation of legal professionals who are not only
technically proficient but also deeply committed to justice, innovation, and
ethical leadership. Such collaborations are essential in ensuring that
institutions remain responsive to the changing contours of law, technology, and
society.”

Under
the agreement, both institutions will work together to design and deliver a
range of academic and professional programmes. These include specialised
training in civil and commercial mediation, negotiation and conflict
resolution, and emerging areas such as digital dispute resolution. The
collaboration will also facilitate conferences, workshops, competitions, and
industry interaction platforms, fostering a dynamic ecosystem that integrates
legal education with real-world practice.

A
key highlight of the partnership is its emphasis on global standards and
innovation. By combining academic expertise with industry experience, the
initiative aims to equip learners with skills that are aligned with
international best practices and responsive to the evolving needs of the legal
profession. The programmes are expected to be delivered through flexible
formats, including in-person, online, and hybrid models, ensuring wider
accessibility.

Ms.
Pavani Sibal, Head of India for ADR ODR International Limited, also highlighted
the shared vision underpinning the agreement and said, “Our collaboration with
Jindal Global Law School is built on a shared belief that the future of dispute
resolution lies in accessibility, innovation, and global cooperation. Through
this partnership, we seek to create meaningful learning pathways that empower
individuals with internationally relevant skills while promoting a culture of
dialogue, efficiency, and fairness in resolving disputes.”

The
collaboration also reflects a broader vision of positioning India as a hub for
dispute resolution and legal innovation. With increasing globalisation and
cross-border transactions, the demand for efficient and technology-driven
dispute resolution mechanisms continues to grow. This partnership is poised to
contribute meaningfully to building capacity and enhancing professional
competencies in this critical field.

The
MoU establishes a strong framework for sustained engagement between the two
institutions. It underscores the importance of collaboration between academia
and industry in shaping the future of legal education and dispute resolution.
As the legal landscape continues to evolve, initiatives such as this serve as
important milestones—bridging knowledge with practice and local expertise with
global perspectives.

O.P.
Jindal Global University (JGU) is a leading multidisciplinary institution
poised to further strengthen its position as a globally recognised,
multidisciplinary institution from India, shaping the future of higher
education through excellence, innovation, and impact on a global scale. The
Jindal Global Law School has been ranked 35 in the world in the QS World
University Rankings 2026 and also ranked Number 1 in India  for the 7th consecutive year.

The

ImagiNxt has evolved into a truly cross-sector platform. Founders, investors,
policymakers and global technology leaders are aligning around a shared belief
that India’s next phase of growth will depend on how effectively these worlds
collaborate. ImagiNxt is built to enable that, not just through conversations,
but through connections and outcomes.”

<title>Paranjape Schemes’ Athashri turns 25, marking a journey of resilience and its role in shaping India’s senior living narrative</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/paranjape-schemes-athashri-turns-25-marking-a-journey-of-resilience-and-its-role-in-shaping-indias-senior-living-narrative</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/paranjape-schemes-athashri-turns-25-marking-a-journey-of-resilience-and-its-role-in-shaping-indias-senior-living-narrative</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
Maharashtra 15th April 2026  :  Paranjape Schemes (Construction) Pvt. Ltd.,
a legacy developer known for pioneering new-age residential formats, marks 25
years of Athashri, its senior living initiative that has played
a defining role in shaping how ageing is perceived in India. At a time when
organised senior living was still met with hesitation, Athashri introduced a
new way of thinking one that placed dignity, independence, and community at the
center of everyday living, gradually contributing to a broader shift in the
country’s senior living narrative.

Today,
the Athashri platform spans close to 16 senior living communities, supporting
over 3000 seniors across multiple cities, making it one of the most established
senior living ecosystems in India. With thousands of residential units
delivered under the Athashri brand, the platform reflects both the scale of
demand and the growing acceptance of organised senior living in the country.

Marking
25 years, Athashri reflects a journey where what began as an early concept has
evolved into a platform that has created long-term community impact. The
milestone goes beyond the passage of years, capturing the impact of a model
that has helped redefine how senior living is experienced in India. To
commemorate this journey, Paranjape Schemes will host a special gathering on
April 18, 2026, at Buntara Bhavan, Baner Road, Pune, bringing together
residents, partners, and stakeholders. The event will begin with an opening
address setting the context for Athashri’s journey and the evolution of senior
living in India, followed by a keynote by Shashank Paranjape-MD Paranjape
Schemes Construction Limited, who will share a personal and reflective
perspective on its origin, intent, and growth over the years. The day will
bring together stories and milestones, with a key highlight being the
felicitation of senior residents recognising their journeys and contributions

Reflecting
on this journey Shashank Paranjape, Managing Director, Paranjape Schemes
Construction Private Limited., said&quot; Athashri’s journey as something
that began not as a structured project, but as a simple conversation an idea to
create a space where ageing is not defined by restriction, but by comfort,
dignity, and a true sense of living. What started as an intent to build a
supportive environment gradually evolved into a community that feels like home
rather than an institution. Today, as Athashri completes 25 years, it stands as
a testament to that original thought one that placed people, their emotions,
and their everyday experiences at the center of its philosophy

Adding
to this, Amit Paranjape, Director, Business Development, Paranjape Schemes
Construction Private Limited., shared, “The evolution of senior living
reflects a much larger societal shift. As the need grows, so does the
responsibility to expand thoughtfully ensuring that communities are not just
built, but nurtured. Athashri’s journey continues to guide how we approach this
next phase of growth, with a clear focus on scale, relevance, and long-term
impact.&quot;

Over
the years, senior living in India has seen a clear shift from being viewed as a
reluctant necessity to becoming a more conscious lifestyle choice, driven by
changing family dynamics, longer life spans, and a growing desire among seniors
to live actively and independently. This shift is also part of the larger rise
of the silver economy, where the needs and aspirations of an ageing population
are beginning to shape new ways of living. Within this, Athashri has remained
at the forefront not just as an early mover, but as a steady presence in how
the category has evolved, building communities that respond to both the
emotional and practical needs of residents.

From being a pioneering
idea to becoming a defining force in India’s senior living landscape, Athashri
stands as a testament to how foresight, consistency, and community-first
thinking can reshape an entire segment. What began as a forward-looking idea has
today become a defining part of the housing narrative, reinforcing that senior
living is not about slowing down, but about living with dignity, purpose, and
connection.

<title>Miro Biotech Announces Global Availability of High&#45;Purity Research Peptide Catalog</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/miro-biotech-announces-global-availability-of-high-purity-research-peptide-catalog</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/miro-biotech-announces-global-availability-of-high-purity-research-peptide-catalog</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ BANGALORE and SAN
FRANCISCO, April 15, 2026 :  Miro Biotech today announced the global
availability of its research-grade peptide catalog, extending HPLC-verified
compounds to individual researchers, laboratories, and academic institutions
across India, North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and
the Middle East.

Demand for high-purity
research peptides has accelerated across academic and industrial research
groups, driven by expanding in-vitro investigation of metabolic, regenerative,
and pathway-signaling biology. High-purity supply paired with consistent
per-batch analytical documentation has become a procurement priority for
research institutions operating across multiple geographies, particularly in
India and across Asia-Pacific, where domestic laboratory investment has scaled
significantly over the past decade.

“The global research
community is moving faster than its supply chain, and Indian institutions in
particular have built remarkable research capacity over the past decade,” said
Ria Tan, vice president of global operations at Miro Biotech. “Our mandate is
to put verified, high-purity compounds in the hands of qualified investigators
at the pace modern research demands, on every continent we serve. Today’s
release is the first stage of a rapidly expanding catalog, with additional
compounds, expanded analytical capacity, and deepened support for the Indian
research community planned throughout 2026.”

Catalog

The Miro Biotech catalog
currently includes widely studied research peptides such as Retatrutide,
BPC-157, GHK-Cu, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, and Tesamorelin, alongside
reconstitution solutions for laboratory use. Catalog expansion throughout 2026
will introduce additional metabolic, regenerative, and cognitive pathway
compounds, with new releases scheduled across consecutive quarters. Compound
selection is informed by requests from the international research community and
emerging areas of in-vitro investigation.

Analytical Verification

Every batch released
under the Miro Biotech catalog is independently verified by a third-party
analytical laboratory. Testing is performed using reverse-phase
high-performance liquid chromatography, with a minimum 99 percent purity
specification applied across the catalog. Certificates of analysis are issued
per batch, documenting identity, purity, and appearance testing. Minimum purity
thresholds are enforced at the batch level, and release to the catalog is
contingent on verified analytical conformance.

Research Applications

Metabolic research
compounds in the catalog are used in in-vitro research on glucose regulation,
lipid metabolism, and incretin pathway signaling. Recovery and repair compounds
are used in in-vitro studies of tissue regeneration, extracellular matrix
biology, and wound-healing pathways. Cognitive research compounds are used in
in-vitro investigation of receptor binding and neurochemical pathways.
Anti-aging research compounds are used in in-vitro studies of cellular
senescence, NAD+ metabolism, and cellular aging. Reconstitution solutions
complete the catalog with research-grade carriers suitable for laboratory reconstitution
protocols.

India Research Market

India has emerged as one
of the fastest-growing research markets in the Asia-Pacific region, supported
by increased public investment in life-sciences capacity and a rapidly
expanding academic biotechnology sector. Miro Biotech’s Bangalore operations
support individual researchers, laboratories, and institutions across India
with INR pricing, UPI-enabled procurement, and standard delivery timelines of
seven to fourteen business days. The company’s India footprint is designed to
reduce the cross-border procurement friction that has historically constrained
laboratory research workflows in the region, with domestic distribution
covering Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata,
Ahmedabad, and additional research hubs across the country.

Global Distribution

Beyond India, Miro
Biotech delivers worldwide, including to research institutions in the United
States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia,
Japan, South Korea, Brazil, South Africa, and additional international markets.

Availability

The Miro Biotech catalog
is available at www.mirobiotech.com. Orders are accepted for in-vitro research use
only.

<title>Why The Emergence Of Bandra East’s New Legal District Will Be The Turning Point For Mumbai’s Real Estate Landscape</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-the-emergence-of-bandra-easts-new-legal-district-will-be-the-turning-point-for-mumbais-real-estate-landscape</link>

<description><![CDATA[ The
upcoming Bombay High Court complex in Bandra East will not just help address
the existing space crunch at the existing 146-year-old building in South
Bombay’s Fort area but mark a major inflection point in the dynamics of the
city’s residential real estate sector. Spread across 30 acres, the complex will
comprise a built-up area of over 60 lakh sq. ft with residential high-rise
towers proposed to be built for government employees in the vicinity of the
court premises. But leading developers and urban planners in the city say that
this move will have a ripple effect on the city’s overall real estate
landscape.

Legacy
retold

When
the Bombay High Court opened in Fort in 1862, it created an entire ecosystem
around it, with the Indian legal fraternity affecting the socio-cultural fabric
of the region. Over the next 160 years, the area continued to be shaped by its
most eminent residents – from chambers being named for the lawyers who built
them to buildings being constructed to house the people who practise there.
What followed thereafter firmly cemented the role of this district in shaping
Mumbai’s character as the financial and commercial nerve centre of the country.
The establishment of the court accelerated the development of the locality –
first with the chambers, then firms, then the full ecosystem that serves them.
And now, with the High Court moving, experienced developers such as Agami
Realty believe that the dynamic will repeat and that the district will move
with it.

The
new legal lodestar

Located
at Kalanagar in Bandra East, along a 450-metre stretch, the court will become a
defining landmark in influencing the next chapter of Kalanagar’s growth story.
The northward shift toward BKC and Bandra East is already ongoing. Prashant
Khandelwal, Joint Secretary of CREDAI MCHI and Director &amp; CEO of Agami
Realty, elaborates, “We see prominent firms either opening second offices in
the area or relocating permanently. BKC is already home to SEBI, NSE, NABARD,
SIDBI, ICICI Bank, Citibank, and the US Consulate General, with more than 4
lakh people working in the area every day. With a full-scale institutional
shift to Bandra East, we expect an elite transformation, driven by senior legal
professionals and decision-makers. This will lead to the emergence of a high-value
live-work ecosystem, where proximity to court and clients becomes a key driver
of residential choice. Demand here is likely to be quality-led, favouring
established and well-located micro-markets. The presence of legacy anchors such
as the MIG Cricket Club further strengthens the area’s identity and long-term
residential appeal.”

A
systemic shift

While
Kalanagar holds strong strategic importance given its position as the gateway
to BKC and its immediate proximity to the upcoming legal district, the area’s
growth is not an isolated phenomenon. When viewed from an urban planning
perspective, Hardik Pandit, Director of APICES Studio, emphasises the
importance of multi-nodal developments to create a distributed district as
opposed to a single-location hub. “In this instance, the Bandra
East–Sion–Wadala–Chembu corridor will be impacted by what is being called the
‘BKC Spillover Effect’. With space in BKC becoming limited and property prices
skyrocketing, astute homebuyers and investors are seeking out neighbourhoods
that offer excellent value, accessibility to the city’s Central Business
Districts (CBDs) and long-term growth prospects. We are now witnessing the
emergence of premium micro-markets that combine connectivity with liveability,”
he says. He further highlights that this pattern of growth is endemic to Mumbai
as a whole, with the city undergoing a major structural shift from a
single-centric city to a polycentric metropolitan region based on growth
corridors. In addition to creating a USD 300 billion economy by 2030 and a USD
1.5 trillion economy by 2047, this development strategy is also designed to
ease pressure on the existing city and further decentralise existing and
upcoming business hubs.

Spillover
gains

The
Bandra East–Sion–Wadala–Chembur corridor is emerging as a high-growth
residential hub driven by superior connectivity (SCLR and the Eastern Freeway)
and rapid redevelopment. Areas such as Chembur and Sion are witnessing rapid
transformation with luxury projects and sophisticated developments including
large-format townships and gated communities, which are transforming their
skylines and urban fabric. “When a major legal anchor moves closer to Bandra
East, residential demand doesn’t automatically move into the same pin code; it
spreads to adjacent neighbourhoods that offer an enhanced quality of life.
Chembur sits on the right side of this shift, with its established
neighbourhood fabric and multiple mobility options including new metro
connectivity linking key nodes such as BKC/Kurla/Chembur and the broader
interconnect design of Metro Line 2B. For many working professionals, including
those in the legal ecosystem, Chembur can become the ‘home base’ that balances
commute certainty with a better value equation than the immediate Bandra East
influence zone,” shares Parthh K Mehta, CMD, Paradigm Realty.

A
new Mumbai emerges

Bandra
East-focused developers such as Agami Realty are beginning to see early
enquiries from professionals across the BKC corridor, including legal,
consulting, and financial services, who view proximity to the upcoming court as
a key consideration. As Khandelwal explains, “Bandra East is well positioned to
transition into a high-demand, end-user-driven market, led by working
professionals who see clear value in owning close to their place of work. This
micro-market is likely to take on a more premium and low-density character.”

Paradigm
Realty, on the other hand, is witnessing an uptick in buyers who are
value-conscious but do not want to compromise on being connected to the city’s
decision-making centres. Mehta points out the fact that Chembur’s demand story
has consistently been tied to improved infrastructure-led connectivity and its
comparatively more accessible entry pricing versus more upscale micro-markets –
factors that sway the decision-making process for mid-segment homebuyers. He
believes that should the new High Court complex in Bandra East progress as per
its stated plan and timeline, it can add another layer of repeat, daily
professional movement, making ‘connected residential hubs’ such as Chembur even
more relevant. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai, April 15, 2026: In an awe-inspiring
spectacle of devotion, unity, and cultural resurgence, the 135th birth
anniversary of Bharat Ratna Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the visionary Chief Architect of
the Indian Constitution and an unparalleled Nation Builder, erupted in
magnificent grandeur at the Police Ground, Ghatkopar. More than 10,000 jubilant
participants from every corner of Mumbai thronged the venue, transforming the
evening into a powerful testament to Babasaheb’s enduring legacy of equality,
justice, and empowerment.

Organised by the Rashtranirmata Dr Babasaheb
Ambedkar Vichar Samiti, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Vijay Kadam,
Mangaltai Jagtap and Pradeep Adangle, in association with Metta Foundation
spearheaded by Sonali Ramteke Tamdadge, along with Ghatkopar Smaarak Samiti and
Shahid Smaarak Samiti, this grand pre-Ambedkar Jayanti event emerged as one of
the most spectacular and inclusive community celebrations in recent years.
Building upon the phenomenal success of four back-to-back Ambedkar Jayanti
festivals in Worli that deeply resonated with local residents, the organisers
masterfully amplified Babasaheb’s timeless message, ensuring it reverberated
powerfully throughout Ghatkopar and far beyond.

The atmosphere pulsed with electric energy as
superstar singer Adarsh Shinde mesmerised the vast audience with his
soul-stirring Bhimgeetmala, igniting spontaneous dancing and collective
singing. These electrifying performances were brilliantly complemented by
vibrant displays from the local Lezim Dancers Group, captivating theatrical
acts, and around 20 fiercely contested competitions spanning chess to cricket.
A major highlight was the felicitation of winners from an exhilarating cricket
tournament that witnessed enthusiastic participation from Dr. Harshdeep Kamble,
Principal Secretary, Social Justice, who joined players alongside Sonali
Ramteke Tamgadge and Girish Wankhede. Adding a powerful modern touch, two
AI-generated films; one vividly depicting the historic Mahad Satyagraha and the
other tracing the inspiring journey of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, received thunderous
applause and heartfelt cheers from the captivated crowd.

The emotional pinnacle arrived with the
ceremonial cutting of a colossal 135 kg cake, symbolising the 135th
anniversary, jointly performed by Dr. Harshdeep Kamble and Bhimrao Y. Ambedkar.
They were joined by distinguished dignitaries including Shri Vijay Waghmare IAS
- Secretary, Tribal Development Department; Shri Krisna IRS - Ex Principal
Chief Commissioner of Income Tax; Shri Rajesh Gawande IFS - Chief Protocol
Officer of the state and FDI; Dr Pallavi Darade IRS - Maharashtra FDA
Commissioner; Shri Kailash Pagare IAS - Commissioner, Integrated Child
Development Services; Mrs Prerna Deshbhartar IAS - Managing Director LIDCOM;
Shri Pandurang Raut IRS, Shri Bharat Kadam PS to Hon Minister Shri Sanjay
Shirsat, Pandit Shri Mukesh Jadhav; Shri Sandeep Dongre and Archana Dongre -
Academicians; Singer Sandesh Umap; Influencers Raja Naidu and Rushabh More;
literary stalwart J.V. Pawar, AI Enterprenuer Shailesh Tamgadge and Girish
Wankhede, the eminent Movie Trade Analyst.

Flawlessly hosted by Dr. Vijay Kadam and Farah
Khan, the entire programme unfolded with exemplary discipline, seamless
coordination, and infectious enthusiasm, creating an unforgettable experience
for all. The event was also combined with the celebration of the Bicentenary of
Mahatma Jyotiba Phule and the approaching centenary year of the landmark Mahad
Satyagraha. The sacred water of the legendary Chavdar Lake was specially brought
and used at the installation of a majestic Mahad Chavdar Lake replica for
visitors, while the flags of more than hundred Buddhist countries where Dr B R
Ambedkar’s Jayanti is celebrated, gracefully surrounded the entire ground.

Dr. Harshdeep Kamble shared his profound
appreciation, remarking, “This stands as one of the grandest celebrations in
recent memory, driven by overwhelming participation from local residents,
particularly the spirited youth and youngsters who poured in with unmatched
zeal to honour Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.” A visibly delighted Bhimrao Y. Ambedkar
echoed the sentiment, stating, “I am truly amazed by the extraordinary talent
shining within our community. The powerful voices of our singing artists, the
boundless energy, and the electrifying atmosphere here are simply wonderful and
deeply inspiring.”

The venue blossomed into a vibrant cultural
and entrepreneurial festival, complete with mouth-watering food stalls, a
breathtaking artistic replica of Chavdar Lake (Mahad), a towering majestic
statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, bustling entrepreneur kiosks, and extensive book
stalls that celebrated the community’s profound love for knowledge and
enlightenment.

Strategically held ahead of the main April 14
observances, when families and colonies celebrate independently, this
pre-Jayanti mega-event fostered a profound sense of collective pride,
solidarity, and shared purpose.

This monumental gathering not only offered
rich, heartfelt tributes to Dr. Ambedkar’s transformative vision but also
forged stronger bonds of empowerment, cultural renaissance, and community
harmony among thousands. It has undoubtedly set a shining new benchmark for
vibrant, inclusive celebrations dedicated to the father of social justice in
Mumbai and beyond. ]]></description>

<title>Helmet Distribution Drive Held in Hyderabad to Promote Road Safety</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/helmet-distribution-drive-held-in-hyderabad-to-promote-road-safety</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/helmet-distribution-drive-held-in-hyderabad-to-promote-road-safety</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In
a proactive effort to enhance road safety and reduce fatalities among
two-wheeler users, Sarvejana Foundation, in collaboration with NTT DATA
Business Solutions (NDBS) CSR Team, Telangana Facility Management Council
(TFMC) and in association with the Telangana Police, successfully organized a
Helmet Distribution Drive at IKEA Rotary, Hyderabad on April 8, 2026.

The
initiative reflects a strong commitment from both Sarvejana Foundation and NTT
DATA Business Solutions towards promoting safer roads and responsible riding
behavior.

The
event was graced by Dr. M. Ramesh, IPS, Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad, who
emphasized the life-saving importance of wearing helmets for both riders and
pillion passengers.

The
program was attended by Mr. Krunal Patel, Managing Director, along with the CSR
team from NTT DATA Business Solutions. Representing Sarvejana Foundation, Dr.
A.V. Gurava Reddy, Chairman, Dr. B. Janardhan Reddy, IAS (Retd.), CEO, and
other team members were present and actively supported the initiative. Mr.
Satyanarayana Mathala, Founder, Telangana Facility Management Council (TFMC),
was also present.

Why
This Initiative Matters

India
continues to face a severe road safety crisis. According to 2023 data:

●      
1,72,890 people lost their lives in road
accidents

●      
44.8% of fatalities were two-wheeler users

●      
54,568 deaths and over 1 lakh injuries
occurred due to non-usage of helmets

This
means that nearly 1 in every 2 road deaths involve a two-wheeler rider.

Hyderabad
&amp; Telangana: A Growing Concern

The
issue is equally serious at the state and city levels:

●      
Telangana recorded 2,284 deaths and 4,727
injuries due to helmet non-usage

●      
In Hyderabad, a pillion rider dies every 3
days for not wearing a helmet

●      
In one police report, ~100 out of 215 fatal
accidents involved helmet-less riders

Helmets
Save Lives

Research
clearly shows:

●      
Helmets reduce the risk of death by ~40%

●      
Reduce head injury risk by ~70%

Despite
this, many riders still neglect helmet use—especially delivery personnel,
students, and daily commuters, who form high-risk groups.

About
the Drive

The
helmet distribution drive focused not only on distributing helmets but also on
spreading awareness about responsible riding habits. Participants were educated
on the importance of wearing helmets consistently—regardless of distance or
speed.

This
initiative is part of the ongoing efforts of Sarvejana Foundation, supported by
NTT DATA Business Solutions CSR, to build a culture of safety, responsibility,
and accountability on roads.

A
Call to Action

Road
safety is a shared responsibility. Wearing a helmet is a simple yet powerful
step that can save lives.

“Wear
a Helmet – Every Ride, Every Time.” ]]></description>

<title>Trackers Deliver Up to 23% Higher Yield and 10% Lower EPC Cost; Suggests an Independent Technical Study</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/trackers-deliver-up-to-23-higher-yield-and-10-lower-epc-cost-suggests-an-independent-technical-study</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/trackers-deliver-up-to-23-higher-yield-and-10-lower-epc-cost-suggests-an-independent-technical-study</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, April 14 2026: SgurrEnergy, an independent renewable energy
technical advisory and engineering company, has released the findings of an
independent techno-economic assessment comparing Fixed-Tilt (FT) and Horizontal
Single-Axis Tracker (HSAT) mounting systems across representative Indian solar
geographies.  

The
study’s modelled scenarios indicate that tracker-based systems may achieve up
to 23% higher specific yield under certain site conditions while potentially
reducing overall EPC costs by as much as 10%, subject to project design,
location and modelling assumptions. The analysis highlights the importance of
site-specific evaluation when assessing mounting system selection for
utility-scale solar projects in India. 

The
assessment evaluates energy yield and Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) across Rajasthan,
Andhra Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, selected to represent diverse
irradiation profiles, terrain conditions, and climatic environments. Using
high-resolution SolarGIS resource data and detailed PVSyst simulations, the
study analysed system performance under both CUF-matched and constant-DC
scenarios to ensure a robust and like-for-like comparison. 

The
findings highlight the modelled performance differences of HSAT systems. Under
the Study’s simulated scenarios, trackers require approximately 14-18% lower
installed DC capacity to achieve the Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF) levels
comparable to fixed-tilt systems, indicating reductions in infrastructure
intensity. Even at equivalent DC capacities, HSAT configurations demonstrated a
3–4 percentage point improvement in CUF within the evaluated case. Across all
three evaluated states, tracker systems showed higher simulated specific yield
outcomes compared to fixed-tilt setups, with 15–23% higher specific yield and
12–16% higher transposition gains, driven by continuous sun tracking and
enhanced irradiance capture throughout the day. 

Speaking
on the findings of the report, Jawwad Shaikh, Manager at SgurrEnergy,
said, “This assessment showed that system-level optimisation can materially
change the economics of solar projects. Based on our findings and under the
evaluated scenarios, single-axis trackers demonstrated the ability to achieve
the comparable CUF with lower DC capacity assumptions while delivering
materially higher energy yield when compared to fixed -tilt systems. The
implications are not just better performance but goes beyond to overall
infrastructure intensity and lifecycle cost structures. For developers and
asset owners operating in competitive markets, such design considerations can
play a critical role in investment decisions.” 

Rajeev
Kashyap, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Nextpower India Private
Limited added, “In a market where tariff
competitiveness and performance certainty define project success, mounting
system selection has become a strategic decision rather than a purely technical
one. This independent assessment provides valuable analytical insight into how
optimised tracker configurations can materially enhance energy productivity while
reducing overall project cost intensity. The ability to achieve target CUFs
with lower DC sizing, improved generation profiles, and stronger lifecycle
economics reinforces the long-term value proposition of HSAT systems. Such
data-driven analysis contributes to more informed decision-making for
developers, investors, and lenders evaluating next-generation solar assets in
India.” 

The
study confirms that optimized tracker configurations can be implemented without
increasing project capital costs.When designed to meet defined CUF targets
within the modelling framework, HSAT systems may reduce overall EPC CAPEX by
approximately 7–10% across the evaluated geographies. This reduction is
primarily driven by lower module procurement volumes, reduced DC-side balance-of-system
requirements and decreased civil and structural quantities resulting from
optimised DC sizing. As a result, HSAT systems consistently may achieve lower
Levelized Cost of Energy across all assessed geographies. Across the analysed
cases, the analysis showed that the combination of reduced capital intensity
and higher annual energy yield produces a durable LCoE advantage, reinforcing
trackers as a capital-efficient and execution-friendly solution in
tariff-sensitive procurement environments. 

As
India accelerates renewable capacity addition and project developers seek
sharper tariff competitiveness, the study underscores the growing importance of
system-level optimisation in driving both technical performance and financial
resilience in utility-scale solar projects. ]]></description>

<title>iTokri Crosses 100,000 Product Listings: India&amp;apos;s Largest Curated Handmade Textile Platform</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/itokri-crosses-100000-product-listings-indias-largest-curated-handmade-textile-platform</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/itokri-crosses-100000-product-listings-indias-largest-curated-handmade-textile-platform</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Gwalior, India — 14 April, 2026 : iTokri.com has crossed 100,000 product listings, with more than
500 new products added daily. The company, which sells handmade textiles and
handicrafts direct from Indian artisans, has operated without middlemen since
its founding fifteen years ago.

Nitin and Jia Pamnani started iTokri in 2010 from Gwalior,
Madhya Pradesh. The company now works with over 10,000 artisan partners in more
than 500 craft clusters across India. The catalogue covers over 150 techniques,
from Ajrakh block printing in Kutch to Kalamkari in Machilipatnam, Bagru and
Sanganeri printing in Rajasthan, Chikankari in Lucknow, Bandhani in Gujarat,
Chanderi and Maheshwari weaving in Madhya Pradesh, and Ikat weaving in Odisha
and Telangana.

The company&#039;s core product line is running fabrics sold by the
metre — the largest such collection available online in India. This category
alone spans thousands of listings across dozens of craft techniques. Before
iTokri, most of these fabrics were only available through local markets or
wholesale dealers in the craft regions themselves.

iTokri ships to over eight countries and has 252,000 followers
on Instagram. Every order ships with a handwritten note, a detail that comes up
repeatedly in customer reviews.

A Business Built on Direct Artisan Partnerships

Behind the 100,000 listings is a specific model: iTokri works
directly with artisan workshops, not through aggregators or agents. Artisans
set their own prices and produce on their own timelines. The artisan is the
designer.

The company&#039;s operations team in Gwalior is 95% women, most from
economically disadvantaged backgrounds in the city. They handle cataloguing,
quality checks, packaging, and customer support for the full product range.

&quot;We did not start iTokri to create a charity. We started it
because Indian craft is a genuinely good product, worth paying full price
for,&quot; said Nitin Pamnani, co-founder of iTokri. &quot;A Kalamkari artisan
in Srikalahasti makes world-class fabric. She just didn&#039;t have a way to reach
someone in Munich or Mumbai who wanted it. That&#039;s what 100,000 listings
actually represent — 100,000 points of access that didn&#039;t exist before.&quot;

About iTokri

iTokri.com is India&#039;s largest curated direct-to-consumer
platform for authentic handmade textiles and handicrafts. Founded in 2010 in
Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, the company partners with 10,000+ artisans across 500+
craft clusters to bring handmade Indian textiles, sarees, dupattas, home furnishings, and craft products to customers in
over eight countries. iTokri carries work in 150+ techniques and is India&#039;s
largest online source for handmade running fabrics. The company operates on a
direct partnership model — no middlemen, no markdowns, no mass production.

<title>Adrianse Rebrands as Design Alphabet, Signalling a New Era of Integrated Design</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/adrianse-rebrands-as-design-alphabet-signalling-a-new-era-of-integrated-design</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/adrianse-rebrands-as-design-alphabet-signalling-a-new-era-of-integrated-design</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

April 14, 2026 -
Adrianse has rebranded as Design Alphabet, marking a shift in how the
studio defines and delivers design, bringing architecture to the forefront of
its evolving scope. 

Over time, Adrianse
Global has moved beyond interiors and workplace design into projects that
require deeper integration across disciplines. With architecture now central to
its approach, the studio is expanding into sectors including commercial,
healthcare, educational, R&amp;D centres, on a global scale. The move to Design
Alphabet reflects this progression - bringing architecture, interiors, and
technology together to carry ideas through with greater clarity, continuity,
and control from concept to execution. 

“This
shift reflects how we’ve evolved. Architecture is now central to how we think
and build, and we’re stepping into new sectors and global markets with that
clarity. It’s about taking on larger, more complex work - with the confidence
of everything we’ve built so far.” 

- Udaya Shankar,
Principal 

At its core, Design
Alphabet is guided by the principles of space, form, function, and emotion -
all working together to bring clarity and coherence to every project. The
studio builds on these fundamentals to deliver work that balances creative
expression with discipline and intent. 

Expanding Scope, Global
Outlook 

With its new identity,
Design Alphabet is strengthening its presence across global markets - both in
terms of projects and talent. The studio continues to bring international
design standards into culturally relevant environments, while expanding into
sectors where design plays a critical role in performance and long-term value. 

A Distinct Logo Identity 

The new name, Design
Alphabet, reflects the studio’s foundational approach - viewing design as a
language built on essential elements.

This extends into its
visual identity, where light is used as a defining tool - not as an effect, but
as a way to reveal form, establish function, and bring clarity to space.
Through a controlled interplay of light and shadow, the identity expresses
depth, balance, and emotion with restraint. 

Beyond its projects,
Design Alphabet contributes to the broader discourse on how design evolves
while being grounded in fundamentals as it scales. The rebrand from Adrianse
Global to Design Alphabet reflects the studio’s continued transformation - shaped
by its expanding scope, capabilities, and intent. 

Design Alphabet positions
itself not just as a participant, but as a discipline, intent on defining how
design is conceived, delivered, and experienced across increasingly complex
environments. ]]></description>

<title>How Young Car Owners Are Choosing Insurance Differently in 2026</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-young-car-owners-are-choosing-insurance-differently-in-2026</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-young-car-owners-are-choosing-insurance-differently-in-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India’s
young car owners are not just buying insurance; they’re redefining how it fits
into their lives. In 2026, Gen Z and millennial buyers are driving a clear
shift toward digital-first, transparent, and highly personalised motor
insurance, moving away from traditional, one-size-fits-all policies.This
evolution is being shaped by a generation that values speed, clarity, and
control. From researching policies online to choosing coverage based on
lifestyle needs, young drivers are approaching insurance as an informed
financial decision rather than a routine purchase.

“Today’s
young customers expect insurance to be simple, transparent, and aligned with
how they actually use their vehicles,” said Shubham Moondra, Chief Product
Officer at Royal Sundaram. “The focus is on offering flexibility and clarity at
every step of the journey.”

What This Means for
Young Drivers

For
younger car owners, insurance research starts early, with online comparisons of
features, claims, and pricing via digital platforms with instant quotes and
paperless onboarding. Usage-based models like pay-as-you-drive appeal to
low-mileage young drivers, linking premiums to actual usage. Detail-oriented
buyers now scrutinise inclusions, exclusions, and terms. India&#039;s usage-based insurance
market grew to 151 million dollars in 2024 (projected CAGR 21.4% to 2033), with
IRDAI mandates boosting UBI/PAYD adoption among young drivers for fairer
pricing on safe habits.

A Move Toward
Personalised Coverage

Young
car owners are shifting to customised policies tailored to lifestyles, driving
patterns, and local conditions, ditching standard packages. Add-ons lead this
trend: engine protection in monsoon areas, tyre protection on poor roads,
roadside assistance for frequent travellers, and covers for urban users&#039;
belongings/consumables. Key replacement and emergency assistance are rising
too, favouring comprehensive, real-world protection. With EV/hybrid growth,
demand surges for specialised coverage, aligning insurance with evolving
mobility.

Influence of Social
Media and Peer Reviews

Unlike
previous generations, young buyers rely heavily on digital content and peer
validation. A KPMG India survey found that 70% of Gen Z consumers trust online
reviews as much as personal recommendations. Online reviews, influencer
content, and social media discussions are shaping how insurance products are
perceived and understood.

A
key shift is the demand for clarity. Complex insurance terminology is no longer
accepted at face value; young consumers expect brands to explain products in
simple, relatable ways. This has led many insurers to actively use digital
platforms to break down policy features, claims processes, and add-ons into
easy-to-understand formats.

Why This Trend Matters
Now

This
shift in behaviour comes at a time when more young Indians are purchasing cars
earlier in life, especially in urban areas, with buyers under 30 comprising 27%
of new car customers (up from 12% in 2018), while rising road risks and
increasing repair costs, driven by advanced vehicle tech, make having the right
insurance more important than ever. At the same time, insurers are recognising
that younger customers are not just looking for protection; they want an
experience that is quick, clear, and tailored to their needs.

“As
the next generation of drivers enters the market, the focus is clearly on
making insurance more user-friendly and adaptable,” added the Royal Sundaram
spokesperson. “Our goal is to ensure that every young car owner feels confident
and secure about their coverage.”

Looking Ahead

The
way young Indians approach car insurance in 2026 signals a broader shift in
consumer behaviour. Convenience, customisation, and clarity are no longer
differentiators; they are expectations.

As
digital adoption deepens and customer awareness grows, insurance is becoming
more aligned with individual lifestyles and evolving mobility choices. Insurers
such as Royal
Sundaram are responding by expanding flexible
offerings, simplifying communication, and developing solutions that resonate
with the next generation of drivers. ]]></description>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/anugami-builds-a-curated-ecosystem-for-indian-brands-focusing-on-discovery-positioning-and-premium-growth</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a market dominated by mass marketplaces
and price-driven competition, Anugami is taking a differentiated approach by
building a curated platform that prioritizes quality, design, and brand
identity.

Unlike conventional e-commerce
platforms, Anugami focuses
on creating a refined discovery experience for customers while simultaneously
helping brands improve their positioning and presentation. The platform is
designed to cater to a new generation of consumers who value authenticity,
craftsmanship, and thoughtful design.

At the heart of Anugami’s offering is its
curated marketplace model. Instead of onboarding brands in bulk, the platform
follows a selective approach, ensuring that every product meets its standards
of quality, design, and brand fit. This creates a more meaningful and
clutter-free experience for customers.

Beyond just being a marketplace, Anugami
provides a range of support services that help brands grow effectively:

·      
Brand Onboarding &amp;
Curation: A structured selection process to maintain premium quality

·      
Product Presentation Support:

·      
Brand Positioning Guidance:
Helping brands move from price-based competition to value-based growth

·      
Customer Discovery Experience:
Enabling users to explore unique and well-crafted products across categories

At Anugami, we’re also integrating AI
across the platform, enabling a seamless, insight-led dashboard for brands
while continuously developing next-generation AI features to create a more
intuitive and personalized experience for customers.

One of the key differentiators of Anugami
is its focus on long-term brand building rather than short-term transactions.
The platform works closely with brands to enhance their identity, ensuring they
are presented in a way that resonates with both domestic and global audiences.

Over the next few years, Anugami aims to strengthen its
ecosystem by onboarding high-quality, design-led, and artisanal brands while
continuing to refine its platform experience. The focus remains on building trust,
improving user experience, and creating a recognizable identity centered around
quality and authenticity.

By bridging the gap between craftsmanship
and modern commerce, Anugami is not just enabling transactions, it is reshaping
how Indian brands are discovered, positioned, and valued.

As consumer preferences shift towards more
meaningful and premium experiences, platforms like Anugami are set to play a
crucial role in defining the future of Indian e-commerce.

<title>CREDAI&#45;MCHI engages with Shri Chandrakant Bawankule, Revenue Minister, Govt. of Maharashtra to address key policy issues impacting real estate sector</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/credai-mchi-engages-with-shri-chandrakant-bawankule-revenue-minister-govt-of-maharashtra-to-address-key-policy-issues-impacting-real-estate-sector</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
April 13, 2026 : CREDAI-MCHI,
under the leadership of its President Sukhraj Nahar, participated in a
high-level meeting convened by the Hon. Revenue Minister, Government of
Maharashtra, Shri Chandrakant Bawankule, to deliberate on critical
revenue-related challenges affecting the real estate sector across the Mumbai
Metropolitan Region (MMR).

CREDAI-MCHI
was represented by Rushi Mehta, Secretary; Dominic Romell, Immediate Past
President; Husain Lalani, Joint Treasurer; Ricardo Romell, Joint Secretary; and
Keval Valambhia, COO. Senior Vice President Shailesh Puranik and Vice President
Gurminder Singh Seera attended the meeting virtually. The meeting was in
continuation of the representations and meetings held with the collector, city
&amp; Suburban by the Joint Task Force, comprising representatives from
NAREDCO, BDA, and PEATA, as part of the broader consultative framework for
resolving revenue relating matters affecting the real estate Industry in
Mumbai/MMR.

Speaking
on the development, Sukhraj Nahar, President, CREDAI-MCHI, said, “The meeting
reflects a strong intent from the government to address industry concerns with
urgency and clarity. The proposed measures, particularly the move towards
digitisation and process simplification, will significantly enhance ease of
doing business and bring greater transparency to the sector. Bringing clarity
to royalty related issues plaguing the industry was an urgent priority, and it
has now been dealt in a positive and proactive manner by the honourable
Minister.”

Rushi
Mehta, Secretary, CREDAI-MCHI, added, “The discussions were highly
constructive, with clear direction on resolving key bottlenecks faced by
developers particularly concerning Royalty permissions and NA clearances.
Online Royalty permissions and payments including extension of Royalty window
from 1 month to 6 months was the key outcome from the meeting.”

Bringing
clarity to the fact that no Royalty was required when excavated earth was used
for captive consumption and ensuring that this clarity trickles down to the
lowest rung of the beaurocracy was emphasised by the Honourable Minister and to
that end a joint meeting was scheduled with the Municipal Commissioner shortly
to resolve the same. 

The
meeting also addressed the need for improved integration of property-related
records. It was proposed that transactions such as development agreements,
mortgages, and leases be automatically updated in the Property Register through
system linkage with Index-II records.

Further,
in areas governed by Regional Plans, the process for payment of one time
Non-Agricultural (NA) charges is set to be simplified through an online system
currently nearing completion. Until its rollout, such matters will be handled
at the planning authority level to avoid delays rather than being forwarded to
the collector office. 

CREDAI-MCHI
extended its gratitude to the Hon. Revenue Minister for his proactive approach
and continued support towards resolving industry challenges, reaffirming its
commitment to working collaboratively with the government to drive sustainable
and structured growth in the real estate sector.

As the skincare industry continues to evolve,
brands that align with real consumer needs are gaining attention. Ayzel
Cosmetics, a relatively new entrant founded in 2023, is positioning itself as a
brand that focuses on practicality, accessibility, and relevance.

Founded by Shahnaz Choudhry and Ali Zaidi,
the brand draws from years of experience across business, beauty services, and
product development. Their exposure to the salon industry and customer
interactions helped them understand how modern lifestyles directly impact skin
health.

In fast-paced urban environments, factors such
as pollution, stress, and irregular routines have become common contributors to
skin-related concerns. Ayzel Cosmetics addresses this by offering products
designed to support skin health without adding complexity to daily routines.

The brand’s portfolio includes a range of
skincare essentials from facial cleansers and serums to moisturizers, scrubs,
and sunscreens. Each product is positioned as part of a simple, consistent
skincare approach rather than an overwhelming multi-step regimen.

Beyond product offerings, Ayzel Cosmetics
reflects a broader shift in the industry, where consumers are increasingly
looking for solutions that are easy to use, reliable, and suited for everyday life.

The founders have also leveraged their
background in manufacturing and operations to ensure that product development
aligns with quality expectations and market demand.

Looking ahead, the brand aims to expand its
footprint and build a stronger presence in the global skincare space. With a
focus on innovation and consumer-centric development, Ayzel Cosmetics is
working towards establishing itself as a trusted name in the category.

By combining experience, market understanding,
and a clear brand philosophy, Ayzel Cosmetics represents a growing segment of
skincare brands that prioritize functionality alongside effectiveness. ]]></description>

3,300 crore.

Outlook

While
recent geopolitical developments have added to global uncertainty, the impact
on the Indian residential sector remains limited at this stage. Any meaningful
impact would depend on the duration and extent of these developments,
particularly through factors such as energy prices. The RBI has reiterated
India’s strong growth outlook, projecting GDP growth of around 7.6 per cent for
FY26, while highlighting global geopolitical developments and energy prices as
key risks to monitor.

Puravankara
Limited remains poised to capitalise on these opportunities. The company is
entering this phase with a clear execution roadmap that is stronger, more agile
and future-ready. The focus remains on creating differentiated products,
strengthening our presence in key micro-markets, and delivering long-term value
to our customers and stakeholders. ]]></description>

<title>Nutro Life Science to Establish World’s First Robotic Sports Nutrition Manufacturing Plant in Ludhiana by December 2026</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/nutro-life-science-to-establish-worlds-first-robotic-sports-nutrition-manufacturing-plant-in-ludhiana-by-december-2026</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/nutro-life-science-to-establish-worlds-first-robotic-sports-nutrition-manufacturing-plant-in-ludhiana-by-december-2026</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mohali, Punjab, India :
Nutro Life Science,
(Livo Universal Healthcare Pvt Ltd.), a rapidly growing name in the global
nutraceutical and sports nutrition manufacturing industry, has announced plans
to establish what is poised to be the world’s first fully robotic sports
nutrition manufacturing facility in India. This landmark project reflects the
company’s commitment to innovation, quality, and large-scale manufacturing
excellence.

Currently under
construction in Ludhiana on over one acre of land, the facility is expected to
be operational by December 2026. It is set to redefine manufacturing benchmarks
through enhanced precision, scalability, and hygiene.

One of the most
compelling aspects of the company’s journey is the entrepreneurial story behind
its leadership. Founded in 2015 by brothers Tanishq Dhingra and Tejasvi
Dhingra, who began working at the young ages of 17 and 19 respectively, the
company started with an initial investment of approximately ₹20,000. Over the
past 11 years, it has grown steadily and is now valued at an estimated ₹200–₹250
crores. Their journey reflects resilience, long-term vision, and disciplined
execution, transforming a bootstrap venture into a globally expanding
enterprise.

The upcoming Ludhiana
plant represents a major advancement in India’s nutraceutical manufacturing
ecosystem. Designed with end-to-end robotics and automation across the
production lifecycle, the facility will significantly reduce human
intervention, ensuring higher consistency, improved hygiene standards, and
near-zero manufacturing errors.

Globally, robotic
manufacturing is increasingly becoming the benchmark in pharmaceutical and
nutraceutical production due to its ability to deliver precision at scale. With
this initiative, the company is set to elevate India’s manufacturing standards
to align with global best practices. Once operational, the plant will
substantially increase production capacity, enabling it to meet growing
domestic demand while strengthening its export capabilities.

Under the leadership of
its co-founders, the company has consistently focused on scientific integrity,
high-quality formulations, and operational excellence. This strategic vision is
central to the Ludhiana project, ensuring that the new facility becomes a
benchmark for advanced manufacturing in the industry.

The company operates
through a strategically distributed network, with its primary manufacturing and
operational base in Mohali and its corporate office in Gurugram managing
business development and partnerships. The addition of the Ludhiana facility
will strengthen this ecosystem, creating a robust three-city operational model
that supports efficient production, seamless distribution, and stronger
collaboration with partners.

It specializes
exclusively in sports nutrition and nutraceutical products tailored for athletes,
fitness enthusiasts, and performance-focused consumers. Its portfolio includes
whey protein, plant-based protein, mass gainers, pre-workouts, amino acid
supplements, fat burners, hydration solutions, and ketogenic nutrition
products. All products are developed using high-quality raw materials and
rigorously vetted suppliers to ensure consistency and trust across domestic and
international markets.

A key pillar of the
business model is its end-to-end contract manufacturing and white-label
services. The company provides turnkey solutions including formulation,
sourcing, production, testing, packaging, and logistics. This approach enables
fitness entrepreneurs, gym chains, and established nutrition brands to launch
and scale products without investing in manufacturing infrastructure. The
upcoming robotic facility will further enhance these capabilities through
faster turnaround times, higher production volumes, and improved operational
reliability.

The company operates
under globally recognized certifications such as ISO 9001, GMP, and HACCP,
ensuring strict adherence to quality and safety standards. Comprehensive
quality checks are implemented at every stage, from raw material sourcing to
final packaging. The Ludhiana facility is expected to further elevate these
standards through advanced automation, enhancing process control and minimizing
variability.

With a presence in over
five countries and a client base of more than 500 partners, the company
continues to strengthen its global footprint. Supported by industry experience
and a growing workforce, its expansion is driven by consistent product quality,
regulatory compliance, and reliable supply chain execution. The additional
capacity from the Ludhiana plant is expected to accelerate international growth
and position India as a competitive hub for nutraceutical manufacturing.

With the launch of this
advanced facility, the company has outlined a strong financial and strategic
roadmap. By the end of FY 2027–28, it aims to achieve a valuation of ₹500–₹600
crores. This growth will be driven by increased production capacity, expansion
into international markets, stronger contract manufacturing partnerships, and
enhanced operational efficiency through automation.

Final Strategic
Takeaway

Nutro Life Science is
entering its next growth phase, where:
 • Past 11 years represent foundation
building
 • Next 3–4 years will focus on
aggressive scaling and global positioning

With the robotic plant
acting as a catalyst and a clear vision of achieving a ₹500–₹600 crore valuation
by FY 2027–28, the company is not just expanding its operations, it is
engineering its leadership position in the global sports nutrition industry.

About Nutro Life
Science

leading contract manufacturer in the sports nutrition and nutraceutical
industry. Founded in 2015, the company operates with its corporate office in

<title>Panigrahi Bethi’s ‘The Greatest Battle of Culture’ Reimagines the Untold Story of Ancient India</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/panigrahi-bethis-the-greatest-battle-of-culture-reimagines-the-untold-story-of-ancient-india</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/panigrahi-bethis-the-greatest-battle-of-culture-reimagines-the-untold-story-of-ancient-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ At a time when conversations around cultural identity, migration, and
coexistence are shaping global headlines, from debates on immigration in Europe
to conflicts rooted in ethnic and cultural divides across regions, the question
of how civilizations meet, clash, and evolve feels more urgent than ever.

It is within this contemporary context that Panigrahi Bethi’s ‘The
Greatest Battle of Culture’ finds striking relevance. The novel reimagines a
lesser-explored chapter of ancient India, offering not just a historical
narrative, but a lens through which to understand the complexities of cultural
interaction.

The book revisits the encounter between the Harappan civilization and
the Aryan tradition, not as a one-dimensional conflict, but as a layered story
of exchange, resistance, and transformation. It stands out for its distinctive
approach to historical fiction, foregrounding human experience over rigid
historical binaries.

Reimagining a Civilization Beyond Ruins

In popular imagination, the Harappan civilization often exists as a
series of ruins and unanswered questions. Bethi’s narrative challenges this
distance by reconstructing a living, breathing world.

Cities are not just archaeological sites but spaces filled with
movement and purpose. Systems are not merely functional but deeply integrated
into daily life. Through intricate detail and immersive storytelling, the
Harappan civilization emerges as advanced, organized, and remarkably
forward-thinking.

Mr Bethi notes, “It isn’t just about two civilizations colliding,
but about what happens to people when their worlds intersect, how beliefs are
questioned, identities shift, and something entirely new begins to take shape.”  In this reimagining, the past is not static,
it is dynamic, evolving, and deeply connected to the present.

The Aryan Lens: Arrival and Disruption

Contrasting this structured world is the fluid and mobile nature of
the Aryan tradition. Defined by movement, shifting traditions, and a strong
warrior ethos, this culture introduces a different pace and perspective.

The novel presents the meeting of these two civilizations not as a
simple opposition, but as a complex interaction. Stability encounters motion,
structure meets adaptability, and both are transformed in the process.

Importantly, the narrative avoids oversimplification. There are no
clear heroes or villains. Instead, both cultures are portrayed with nuance,
each shaped by its own strengths, limitations, and internal contradictions.

At the heart of this reimagined history are characters who embody the
tensions of their time.

Purusha’s journey reflects the possibility of transformation through
understanding. Baguhara represents the responsibility of preserving cultural
identity in uncertain times. Armita emerges as a compelling presence, her relationship
with Purusha symbolizing the fragile yet meaningful connections that can form
between differing worlds.

The philosophical exchanges between Ashwin and Varun further deepen
the narrative, turning it into a story not just of events, but of ideas and
perspectives.

Why This Story Matters Today

In a world where cultural intersections often lead to conflict, The
Greatest Battle of Culture offers a more layered perspective. It suggests that
while encounters between civilizations may begin with tension, they also hold
the potential for growth and reinvention.

The novel ultimately reminds us that civilizations are not built in
isolation. They evolve through interaction, through friction, and through the
blending of ideas.

A Story Resurrected

Available worldwide in both paperback and e-book formats, ‘The
Greatest Battle of Culture’ invites readers to revisit ancient India through a
fresh and humanized lens.

In reimagining an untold story, Panigrahi Bethi offers not just a
novel, but a perspective, one that connects the distant past with the realities
of the present, and reminds us that history is not just what happened, but how
we choose to understand it.

The Hindi edition, Sanskriti Ka Mahasangram, written by Panigrahi
Bethi and translated by author and bilingual writer Asha Seth, was launched on

<description><![CDATA[  

 Bengaluru-born, US-incorporated - founded 2021, bootstrapped,
debt-free - CREST accredited in under five years, backed by global CISOs,
cybersecurity pioneers, and technology founders

BENGALURU and WILMINGTON, Delaware -
April 2026: DigiFortex, a cybersecurity and
digital risk assurance company incorporated in India in April 2021 and in the
United States in May 2022, achieved CREST accreditation for penetration testing
in February 2026 - under five years from founding, coinciding with the
company’s fifth anniversary on April 15, 2026.

The accreditation places DigiFortex among a
select group of firms meeting the independently verified standard required by
financial regulators across the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia, the
Netherlands, and the United States. Most CREST-accredited firms have been
operating for a decade or more. DigiFortex earned it in under five years -
bootstrapped and debt-free.

CREST requires member organisations to
undergo a rigorous independent audit of technical methodology, governance,
information security management, and staff competence - actively required or strongly
preferred by the UK&#039;s Financial Conduct Authority, Singapore&#039;s Monetary
Authority, and EU regulators under the Digital Operational Resilience Act.

“CREST accreditation confirms that
DigiFortex meets recognised benchmarks for technical delivery, governance, and
security testing -giving clients greater confidence in assessing their security
posture,” said Nick Benson, CEO of CREST
International. “This reflects the level of assurance and quality we
expect from our Members.”

“Five years ago we started DigiFortex
from Bengaluru -without external funding, without debt, with a conviction that
enterprises deserved globally validated cybersecurity. Today, as we mark our
fifth year, CREST accreditation confirms what our clients already knew. This is
not the end. It is the baseline from which we take DigiFortex global.” said Vijay Kumar, Founder and CEO, DigiFortex.

connected vehicle platform companies, and a global visa and consular services

These are repeat clients who trusted
DigiFortex with their critical business systems - and came back. CISOs, CTOs,
CFOs, and security leaders across the world’s most compliance-intensive
organisations have cited DigiFortex’s technical depth, actionable reporting,
and findings that surpassed those of established global vendors.

<title>Sardar Singh Suri Remembered on 7th Death Anniversary; Prem Chopra Pays Tribute to Social Icon</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/sardar-singh-suri-remembered-on-7th-death-anniversary-prem-chopra-pays-tribute-to-social-icon</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sardar-singh-suri-remembered-on-7th-death-anniversary-prem-chopra-pays-tribute-to-social-icon</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The
7th death anniversary of Sardar Singh Suri - philanthropist and founder of the
historic Four Bungalow Gurudwara Sahib - was observed with deep devotion,
highlighting his remarkable journey from cinema to selfless service. Thousands
gathered for day-long bhajan-kirtan, ardas, and a grand langar, celebrating a
life dedicated to humanity. Veteran actor Prem Chopra also fondly remembered
Suri, acknowledging his early support and contribution to cinema.

Suri,
who produced the Punjabi film “Aeh Dharti Punjab Di,” made a mark by backing
meaningful storytelling and nurturing talent. Directed by Satyajeet Pal, the
film featured Prem Chopra, Jabeen Jalil, Nimmi, and Madan Puri, with songs sung
by legends Mohammed Rafi and Mahendra Kapoor. Notably, Mohammed Rafi, Prem
Chopra, Jabeen Jalil, and Suri himself received awards for the film, marking
its cultural impact.

Founded
on April 13, 1967, from a modest 10×10 structure, the Gurudwara today stands as
a major spiritual and humanitarian center. Suri served as its President for
nearly 45 years, shaping it into a symbol of equality, faith, and service.

Faith,
Film and Service

This
year’s event, led by Jaspal Singh Suri and his son Maninder Singh Suri, saw a
massive turnout. The langar served thousands from morning till night,
reflecting Suri’s enduring vision.

The
occasion also marked Guru Tegh Bahadur Jayanti, adding spiritual depth. Suri
had also founded the Guru Tegh Bahadur School, where hundreds of
underprivileged children continue to receive education.

From
Struggle to Service

Born
in Rawalpindi, Suri migrated to India after Partition and began life in Mumbai
as a taxi driver in 1963. A chance meeting with Sardar Dilip Singh in 1967 led
to the creation of the Gurudwara, which became his life’s mission.

A
Living Legacy

Today,
the Gurudwara serves around 2,000 people daily, rising to over 5,000 on
Sundays. Over 600 children receive education, with many studying free of cost.
During COVID-19, 10,000–15,000 meals were distributed daily, along with relief
work in flood-hit regions.

After
his passing in 2019, his son Jaspal Singh Suri continues the legacy, supported
by grandson Maninder Singh Suri.

Sardar
Singh Suri’s life stands as a powerful reminder that true success lies not just
in cinema, but in creating lasting impact through service and humanity. ]]></description>

<title>Hyderabad as a Global Tech &amp;amp; Business Hub: Growth Metrics, Investment Inflows &amp;amp; Infrastructure Development</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/hyderabad-as-a-global-tech-business-hub-growth-metrics-investment-inflows-infrastructure-development</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/hyderabad-as-a-global-tech-business-hub-growth-metrics-investment-inflows-infrastructure-development</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ By Kumbham Srinivas
Reddy, State Convener TPCC Media &amp; Communication Department.

Hyderabad, Telangana :
Hyderabad has firmly established itself as one of Asia&#039;s most dynamic
technology and business destinations. Once celebrated for its heritage and
culture, the city today stands as a global hub for technology, innovation, life
sciences and corporate investment. This transformation reflects Telangana&#039;s
vast economic potential.

A Magnet for Global
Investment

The scale of corporate
confidence in Hyderabad is evident in recent investment commitments. At the
World Economic Forum in Davos in early 2024, Telangana secured investment
pledges exceeding USD 4.37 billion from global and domestic investors.
Microsoft announced a USD 1.93 billion investment to build its largest data
centre in India here, while Google is developing a 3.3 million square foot
campus in the Financial District, designed to employ nearly 26,000
professionals. These are not isolated commitments, they reflect a sustained,
multi-year trend of global corporations choosing Hyderabad as their preferred
base of operations.

The GCC Surge

Hyderabad&#039;s most
significant recent growth story is the expansion of Global Capability Centres
(GCCs), high-value offshore hubs established by multinational corporations. The
city is home to more than 355 GCCs, employing more than 300,000 professionals.
In 2024-25 alone, 70 new GCCs were inaugurated in Hyderabad, the highest figure
recorded for any Indian city in a single year. Hyderabad&#039;s share of India&#039;s
total GCC count has grown from 14 per cent in 2022 to 19 per cent in 2024,
reflecting strong momentum.

Infrastructure Driving
Growth

Hyderabad&#039;s competitive
edge is reinforced by its infrastructure. Commercial office rents at INR 72 per
square foot remain more than 20 per cent lower than in Bengaluru, offering
significant cost advantages for corporations at scale. The Metro Rail Phase II
expansion, covering 70 additional kilometres, the Regional Ring Road and
continued development of HITEC City and the Financial District are collectively
strengthening the city&#039;s capacity to absorb future growth. Hyderabad also
recorded a 64 per cent appreciation in residential property values between 2019
and mid-2024, the highest among all major Indian cities, underscoring strong
demand driven by economic expansion.

From IT to life
sciences, from data centres to financial services, Hyderabad is no longer
simply a regional success story. It is a city that global businesses are
actively choosing and that choice, backed by data and sustained investment,
speaks for itself.

<title>CZ Releases Freedom of Money, a Memoir Reflecting on the Rise of Crypto and the Story Behind Binance</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/cz-releases-freedom-of-money-a-memoir-reflecting-on-the-rise-of-crypto-and-the-story-behind-binance</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/cz-releases-freedom-of-money-a-memoir-reflecting-on-the-rise-of-crypto-and-the-story-behind-binance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ April 11, 2026 :  Few figures have been as closely associated with the rise of the
cryptocurrency industry as Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ). In his new
memoir, Freedom of Money, A Memoir of Protecting Users, Resilience, and
the Founding of Binance,  CZ offers a candid account of the early days
of crypto, the rapid explosion of Binance, and the personal consequences of
building at the centre of one of the fastest moving industries in modern
finance.  

Available globally from 07th April 2026 on
Amazon Kindle and Paperback, Freedom of Money traces CZ’s journey from his
early life and unconventional path into technology through the founding and
rapid growth of Binance during a period when the cryptocurrency industry was
expanding at unprecedented speed.

Part memoir and part reflection on the
evolution of digital assets, the book offers readers a builder’s perspective on
what it was like to grow a global platform in a new industry where the rules
were still being written.

“While many people congratulated me on
being number one, something else gave me more satisfaction,” CZ writes in the
book. “I was getting messages from users all around the world thanking us for
providing them with financial access or even financial freedom.”

The memoir also reflects on the challenges
that came with building at such speed, including the pressures of scaling a
global company, regulatory scrutiny as the industry matured, and CZ’s personal
experience serving a four month sentence in a U.S. federal prison.

“This memoir is not a sanitized corporate
story,” CZ said. “It reflects on what it was like to build during a time when
the crypto industry was still taking shape - the successes, the mistakes, and
the lessons that came from both.”

Alongside the events that defined CZ’s
career, Freedom of Money explores broader themes of money, technology and
responsibility, and how his views on financial freedom have evolved over time.

Reflecting on a Defining Period in
Crypto

Over the past decade, Binance has played a
significant role in the growth of the digital asset ecosystem, helping support
the development of infrastructure used by millions of users globally.

Freedom of Money provides CZ’s personal
perspective on that period of rapid innovation and expansion in the
cryptocurrency industry.

Richard Teng, Co-CEO of Binance, said: “The story of Binance is closely tied to the early evolution
of the crypto industry. Freedom of Money offers a founder’s perspective on the
challenges and opportunities that shaped digital assets during their formative
years.”

Yi He, Co-Ceo of Binance, added: “The early days of crypto were
fast-moving and full of possibility, even if not always fully understood. This
book captures the energy of building in that moment and the incredible progress
the industry has made since.”

Rachel Conlan, Chief Marketing Officer
at Binance, said: “For many people, the story of
crypto has been told through headlines and market cycles. What this book offers
is a first person account from someone who helped build the infrastructure
behind the industry’s growth.”

<title>As AI Reshapes Business Strategy, Managers Are Rebuilding Their Decision&#45;Making Playbooks</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/as-ai-reshapes-business-strategy-managers-are-rebuilding-their-decision-making-playbooks</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/as-ai-reshapes-business-strategy-managers-are-rebuilding-their-decision-making-playbooks</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Artificial
intelligence is no longer confined to innovation labs or IT departments. It is
influencing capital allocation, pricing models, supply chain resilience,
customer engagement, and long-term strategy. According to research by Microsoft
and LinkedIn, more than 75% of knowledge workers surveyed use AI (Source: 2024
Work Trend Index Annual Report).

Yet
as AI systems become embedded in enterprise workflows, a critical question is
emerging: are managers equipped to lead in an AI-driven environment?

Across
industries, organisations are deploying machine learning models and Generative
AI applications at increasing speed. But while technology adoption is
accelerating, managerial readiness often lags. Many decision-makers are fluent
in dashboards and analytics summaries, yet less familiar with how models are
built, where they fail, and how they should be governed.

This
is not a technical gap. It is a leadership gap.

Increasingly,
boards and CXOs expect managers to evaluate AI investments, question
algorithmic outputs, assess ethical risks, and align AI initiatives with
measurable business outcomes. AI literacy has shifted from being optional to
being integral to managerial authority.

It
is within this evolving landscape that IIM Kozhikode’s Professional Certificate Programme in Data
Science and Artificial Intelligence for Managers
has gained significance.

From
Data Awareness to Strategic AI Leadership

For
years, managers were encouraged to become “data-driven.” Today, that mandate
has expanded. Leaders must now understand not just data, but the intelligence
systems interpreting it.

Managerial
AI fluency includes the ability to:

●       
Distinguish between supervised and
unsupervised learning applications

●       
Interpret regression, classification, and
time-series models in forecasting contexts

●       
Evaluate the relevance of neural networks and
deep learning for business problems

●       
Assess the strategic implications of Natural
Language Processing and recommender systems

●       
Integrate Generative AI responsibly across
functions

●       
Build governance mechanisms that mitigate bias
and risk

The
Professional Certificate Programme in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
for Managers at IIM Kozhikode is structured around this transition — from
operational familiarity to strategic clarity.

Delivered
over 32 weeks in a flexible online format, the programme is designed for mid-
to senior-level managers who must continue leading teams while upgrading their
AI capability. With a weekly commitment of 5–6 hours, participants engage with
structured modules, assignments, and industry expert-led sessions without
interrupting their careers.

The
objective is not to produce technologists. It is to empower decision-makers.

A
Learning Architecture Designed for Authority, Not Abstraction

The
programme follows a deliberate progression.

Participants
begin with foundational concepts in data cleaning, modelling, and visualisation
— essential for understanding the integrity of inputs that drive business
decisions. The curriculum then advances into supervised and unsupervised
learning, regression and classification techniques, time-series analysis, and
neural networks.

From
there, the focus shifts toward more strategic terrain:

●       
Reinforcement learning and advanced machine
learning applications

●       
Natural Language Processing and recommender
systems

●       
Generative AI models and cross-functional
business use cases

●       
Responsible AI and ethical considerations

●       
Integration of AI into existing systems

●       
AI-led governance, compliance, and culture

●       
Development of a comprehensive AI Strategy

The
programme culminates in
industry-backed capstone projects, including a final capstone on AI Strategy.
This ensures that participants do not simply understand AI frameworks — they
learn to align them with organisational priorities, budgets, and performance
metrics.

For
managerial authorities, this distinction is critical. Knowing what AI can do is
different from deciding what it should do.

Closing
the Leadership Gap in India’s AI Expansion

India’s
AI ecosystem is expanding rapidly, but leadership capability remains uneven.
Organisations increasingly require managers who can bridge conversations
between technical teams and executive leadership.

This
means being able to:

●       
Translate model outputs into actionable
business insight

●       
Challenge unrealistic expectations around
automation

●       
Evaluate ROI and operational feasibility

●       
Drive cross-functional AI adoption

●       
Embed governance standards that protect
organisational reputation

The
Professional Certificate Programme in Data Science and
Artificial Intelligence for Managers
addresses this requirement directly by positioning AI as a boardroom-level
competency.

Designed
specifically for managers, consultants, and entrepreneurs, the programme
recognises that AI transformation is not a siloed technical initiative — it is
an organisational mandate that requires informed authority at multiple levels
of leadership.

Generative
AI as a Strategic Lever

While
Generative AI often captures headlines for its novelty, its long-term value
lies in strategic integration. The programme at IIM Kozhikode examines
Generative AI applications across marketing, product management, finance, and
supply chain management — not as isolated tools, but as business enablers.

Equally
important, participants examine the governance, compliance, and cultural
implications of AI adoption. As regulatory scrutiny increases and stakeholder
expectations evolve, responsible AI leadership is becoming a core managerial
responsibility.

In
this context, AI competence is not about experimentation. It is about
stewardship.

The Future of
Managerial Education

As
AI reshapes competitive landscapes, managerial education is also undergoing
recalibration. The demand is shifting from conceptual exposure to structured
capability-building that connects technical intelligence with strategic execution.

IIM Kozhikode’s Professional Certificate Programme in Data
Science and Artificial Intelligence for Managers
reflects this shift. By combining academic depth, applied learning, and a
leadership-centric curriculum, it prepares managers not merely to understand AI
trends, but to lead AI-driven transformation responsibly.

In
an economy where algorithms increasingly inform decisions, the authority of a
manager will depend not just on experience, but on informed technological
judgement.

The
question is no longer whether AI will influence managerial decisions. It
already does.

The
question is whether managers will be prepared to influence AI in return. ]]></description>

<title>Reputation Isn’t Lost in Crisis—It’s Lost in Response, Says Veteran Communicator Pavan Kaushik</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/reputation-isnt-lost-in-crisisits-lost-in-response-says-veteran-communicator-pavan-kaushik</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/reputation-isnt-lost-in-crisisits-lost-in-response-says-veteran-communicator-pavan-kaushik</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi : In today’s 24x7 digital news cycle—where information spreads within
seconds and reputations can shift instantly—crisis management has evolved
beyond conventional response strategies.

“Crisis
management is not reactive—it is a timely, transparent response,” said Pavan
Kaushik, communication strategist and co-founder of Gurukshetra Consultancy,
who brings over 35 years of experience across sectors including mining, metals,
FMCG, energy, sustainability, steel, information technology, infrastructure,
e-commerce and real estate.

He
highlighted the inherent unpredictability of crises, noting that incidents
often occur without warning and demand constant preparedness. “Crises,
accidents and incidents do not come by invitation—they happen, sometimes without
explanation and sometimes with warning,” he said.

He
underscored how digital platforms are reshaping crisis narratives even before
facts are fully established. Social media, he noted, often shapes perception
ahead of verification. “Today, social media shapes narratives and outcomes
before they are fully analysed. Information often goes viral before detailed
verification takes place,” he said.

On
media expectations, he said the demand is both immediate and outcome-driven—a
clear account of what happened and what comes next. While prevention remains
critical, he added that crises can also arise from factors beyond technology
and human intervention, making them harder to anticipate.

He
pointed to a significant gap in corporate preparedness, noting that many companies
still lack dedicated crisis management teams—unlike government systems, which
operate with defined disaster management structures and SOPs.

Emphasizing
internal alignment, he said organizations must treat corporate communication
teams as central to crisis response. “Do not hide information or incidents from
the corporate communication team—they are an integral part of the organization.
Transparency with internal teams is essential. An efficient corporate
communication team can be highly effective during such crises,” he said.

He
outlined that crises are managed across four key fronts—media, shareholders,
employees and government bodies—all of whom require timely and accurate
updates. “A structured information flow often helps manage crises and positions
an organization as mature and responsible,” he added.

He
stressed that organizations must establish clear communication frameworks in
advance, as delayed responses are often perceived as avoidance in a
high-velocity information environment. “The first response sets the tone. If
organizations fail to communicate promptly and honestly, they risk losing
credibility—something far harder to rebuild than any operational setback,” he
said.

Reflecting
on reputation, he challenged conventional thinking. “It takes years to build a
reputation, but it takes one incident to damage it. Over time, I have learned
that this is not entirely true. Reputations are damaged when organizations play
hide-and-seek during crises or remain non-responsive,” he said. He added that
while there may be situations where immediate reactions can escalate matters,
both denial and premature acceptance can be harmful. “There is always a middle
path—one that balances caution with communication,” he noted.

As
scrutiny intensifies in an always-on media landscape, Pavan Kaushik said trust
remains the ultimate differentiator. “In the age of virality, silence is rarely
neutral—it is interpreted. In the viral age, perception is often formed before
facts—and response is what determines whether trust is sustained.” ]]></description>

<title>Good Goodies Launches with a Front&#45;of&#45;Pack Transparency Approach to Healthy Snacks</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/good-goodies-launches-with-a-front-of-pack-transparency-approach-to-healthy-snacks</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/good-goodies-launches-with-a-front-of-pack-transparency-approach-to-healthy-snacks</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Ahmedabad
(Gujarat) [India], April 10 : Good Goodies, a new entrant in India’s
healthy snacks segment, has announced its launch with a packaging-led
transparency approach centered on displaying ingredients prominently on the
front of the pack.

The
brand, which launched on March 5, said its core philosophy is based on a
simple principle: if an ingredient is inside the food product, it should be
clearly visible on the front of the packaging.

Positioning
this as its “Inside Out Snacks” approach, Good Goodies
aims to simplify the way consumers understand packaged snacks by making
ingredient communication more direct and accessible.

The
company said the initiative comes at a time when Indian consumers are becoming
increasingly aware of food labels, ingredient lists, and nutritional
information, leading to growing demand for products that are easier to
evaluate.

At
the same time, the brand said it remains focused on Indian taste preferences,
particularly the demand for bold and familiar flavours.

According
to the company, its product development strategy has been built around
balancing taste with clarity, while offering healthier alternatives for
everyday snacking.

The
founding team spent over 1.5 years developing the products and refining
the packaging and communication approach to align with the brand’s positioning
on ingredient visibility and label simplicity.

Speaking
on the launch, Founder Aayush Shah said, “We kept asking ourselves a
basic question: why are ingredients always pushed to the back of the pack? If
someone is eating a product, they should not have to search for what’s inside
it.”

He
added, “Our focus was not on making large claims, but on being
straightforward. If it is inside the food, it should be mentioned upfront. Good
food should remain enjoyable while also being easy to understand.”

The
company said it is taking a practical approach to healthy snacks by focusing on
products that fit into everyday lifestyles while remaining aligned with Indian
flavour preferences.

Good
Goodies is launching with an initial portfolio comprising Baked Jowar Puffs,
Baked Ragi Puffs, and Baked Chickpea Puffs, with plans to gradually expand
the range while continuing its front-of-pack ingredient communication
philosophy.

The
launch also comes amid increasing consumer conversations around label literacy
and initiatives such as #LabelPadhegaIndia, which encourage shoppers to
look beyond front-facing claims and better understand packaged foods.

The
company said its larger objective is to make packaged snacks healthier and
easier to interpret without compromising on taste.

About
Good Goodies

Good
Goodies is a modern snack brand focused on developing healthier snack options
that balance taste with ingredient clarity. By prioritizing front-of-pack
ingredient visibility and simple communication, the brand aims to make

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/woxto-introduces-premium-brass-door-handles-inspired-by-italian-design-crafted-with-precision-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Jamnagar
[India], April 10 : In the world of architecture and interior
design, luxury is often defined by the smallest details. Recognising this shift
in consumer preference toward elevated living experiences, Woxto Industries
Private Limitedhas unveiled its premium collection of brass door handles,
bringing together refined Italian-inspired aesthetics and precision Indian
craftsmanship.

With a strong focus on
elegance, durability, and engineering excellence, WOXTO aims to redefine how
architectural hardware is perceived in luxury homes, boutique hospitality
spaces, premium offices, and contemporary interiors.

“A door handle is far
more than a functional element—it is the first tactile interaction a person has
with a space,” said a company spokesperson. “It sets the tone for what lies beyond
the door. At WOXTO®, we believe true luxury begins with such
details.”
The newly introduced range reflects a design philosophy rooted in European
sophistication while being manufactured in India with meticulous attention to
material quality, finish longevity, and mechanical precision. Each brass handle
is created to offer not just visual appeal but also a superior user experience
through smooth operation, reliable grip, and long-term performance.

WOXTO positions itself
as more than a hardware brand, presenting its products as a fusion of style,
security, and innovation. The company’s approach combines premium-grade
brass, advanced surface finishing, and carefully engineered locking
compatibility to ensure the hardware complements both aesthetics and functional
expectations.

Designed for modern
spaces that value both form and reliability, the collection focuses on four
core performance pillars:

●      Long-lasting
premium finishes

●      Smooth
and consistent handle movement

●      Resistance
to wear and environmental exposure

●      Reliable
and durable locking support

The launch comes at a
time when architects, interior designers, and homeowners are increasingly
seeking hardware solutions that match the sophistication of modern design-led spaces.
With global design influences and India’s growing manufacturing capabilities,
WOXTO seeks to address this demand through products that balance international
styling with robust local production standards.

The company stated that
innovation remains central to its product development process, with continued
investments in materials, mechanisms, textures, and finishes that elevate both
touch and appearance.

By introducing this new
standard in brass door hardware, WOXTO® aims to strengthen its position in the
premium architectural fittings segment and cater to discerning customers who
view every design element as an extension of lifestyle.

For WOXTO, the vision
extends beyond doors and handles—it is about shaping the experience of entering
a thoughtfully designed space.

<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai,
Maharashtra, 10th April 2026 : The exhibition comes at a time when
India’s textile industry continues to chart a strong growth trajectory,
supported by policy initiatives and rising global demands. With textile exports
currently valued at nearly USD 36 billion (approx. Rs 3 lakh crore), the
Ministry of Textiles has set an ambitious Vision 2030 target of expanding
exports to USD 100 billion (approx. Rs 9 lakh crore) by strengthening domestic
manufacturing and enhancing India’s global textile footprint. Events such as
Gartex Texprocess India incorporating the Denim Show plays an important role in
supporting this momentum by enabling technology adoption, industry
collaboration and business opportunities across the textile value chain.

The
show opened with a ceremonial inauguration attended by distinguished
dignitaries and industry leaders, including eminent dignitaries from the
industry which included:

Guest
of Honour: Shri Ajay Pandit, Additional Textile Commissioner, Office of the
Textile Commissioner, Ministry of Textiles, Government of India

Mr
Sharad Jaipuria, President, Denim Manufacturers Association &amp; Chairman
&amp; Managing Director of Ginni International Ltd

Mr
Simon Lee, Managing Director of Hyosung Group (Hyosung corporation India Pvt
Ltd &amp; Hyosung India Pvt Ltd)

Mr
Aamir Akhtar, Group President &amp; CEO Textiles, Jindal Worldwide Ltd

Ms.
Himani Gulati, Director, MEX Exhibitions Pvt Ltd

Mr
Raj Manek, Executive Director &amp; Board Member, Messe Frankfurt Asia Holdings

Mr
Winston Pereira, Executive Director, Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt Ltd

Mr
Gaurav Juneja, Director, MEX Exhibitions Pvt Ltd

Mr
Gagandeep Singh, Secretary General, Denim Manufacturers Association

Mr
Akhilesh Rathi, Vice President, Denim Manufacturers Association

India’s
textile sector, one of the country’s oldest and most diverse industries, is
deeply rooted in centuries-old traditions while continuously evolving through
innovation and modern manufacturing. Gartex Texprocess India Mumbai 2026 will
witness several new product launches, technology demonstrations and live
showcases, providing industry professionals with hands-on experience of garment
manufacturing machinery, embroidery machines, laundry and finishing equipment,
printing technologies and advanced textile solutions.

The
industry stands at a transformative juncture, driven by innovation, policy
support and strong global demand. Platforms such as Gartex Texprocess India
play a vital role in bringing together technology providers, manufacturers and
brands to explore new opportunities and accelerate modernisation across the
value chain. With live machinery demonstrations, product launches and focused
knowledge exchange, the Mumbai edition offers an important gateway for industry
stakeholders to experience the latest advancements shaping the future of garment
and textile manufacturing.

The
Union Budget 2026–27 has placed the textile sector firmly at the centre of
India’s economic growth strategy, recognising it as a key driver of employment,
export growth, rural livelihoods and sustainable manufacturing. The sector also
possesses significant intrinsic strengths. India is the world’s largest
cultivator of cotton by acreage, the largest producer of jute, the
second-largest producer of silk and cotton, a major global hub in the man-made
fibres (MMF) segment and the second-largest producer of polyester and viscose
fibres.

According
to the IMARC Group, the India textile manufacturing market reached USD 133.6
billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to USD 192 billion by 2034,
registering a CAGR of 3.99%. The growth is being fuelled by government
initiatives such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, increasing
exports and rising domestic demand for apparel and home textiles. Technological
advancements, the growing adoption of synthetic fibres, sustainability-focused
production practices and expanding e-commerce channels are also accelerating
industry expansion.

Alongside
the exhibition, knowledge sessions and industry discussions will provide
insights into key topics including technology adoption in garment
manufacturing, sustainability in textile production, digital printing
innovations, automation in apparel manufacturing and emerging opportunities in
denim and fashion supply chains.

With
a strong mix of technology, innovation and industry dialogue, Gartex Texprocess
India Mumbai 2026 is set to serve as an important platform for collaboration,
networking and business development within India’s fast-evolving textile and
garment manufacturing ecosystem.

<title>From Struggle to Impact: The Journey of Shiva Mathivanan</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-struggle-to-impact-the-journey-of-shiva-mathivanan</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-struggle-to-impact-the-journey-of-shiva-mathivanan</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In today’s fast-paced world, many
aspire to become entrepreneurs—but very few know where to start. Shiva Mathivanan, entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of World Wide
Business Conclave (WWBC), is on a mission to change that.

With a strong focus on mindset,
execution, and real-world learning, Shiva has built a growing digital presence,
reaching over 100,000+ individuals across YouTube and Instagram.

Through his content, he simplifies
business concepts and inspires professionals to take action and build their own
ventures.

Before
entering entrepreneurship, Shiva spent 17 years in operations with a
US-based corporate company, where he developed expertise in leadership,
systems, and strategy. However, his desire to create something of his own
pushed him to step out of the corporate world.

The journey that followed was far from easy.

Without proper guidance, Shiva explored multiple
opportunities—from get-rich-quick ideas to trading and unstructured business
attempts. Over a period of two years, he lost nearly ₹15 lakhs of his life
savings. This phase of struggle and uncertainty became a turning point in
his life.

Instead of giving up, he chose to learn.

He began understanding the importance of the right mentorship,
practical knowledge, and a strong mindset. This shift not only transformed his
journey but also gave him a deeper purpose—to ensure others don’t go through
the same struggles.

This led to the creation of World Wide Business Conclave (WWBC)—a
platform designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs move from confusion to
clarity. Through WWBC, Shiva provides structured guidance, real-world insights,
and access to industry experts, enabling individuals to transition from
employees to entrepreneurs.
His impact is evident through the successful events he has conducted:

 

●     
Chennai
(July 2025) – 450+ entrepreneurs attended

●     
Coimbatore
(September 2025) – 520+
participants joined

●     
Chennai
(February 2026) – 400+
growth-driven entrepreneurs participated

 

In
addition to his entrepreneurial work, Shiva is also a Life Coach with over
four years of experience, helping individuals improve their mindset,
relationships, health, and wealth. He also hosts the podcast “Speak With
Shiva,” where he shares powerful conversations with entrepreneurs and
industry leaders






Inspired by his father’s
dedication to social service, Shiva strongly believes in contributing to
others’ success. His mission is to create meaningful impact by helping
individuals unlock their full potential and become job creators.

Shiva Mathivanan’s journey is a
powerful reminder that failure is not the end—it’s the foundation for a greater
purpose. Today, he stands as a guide for aspiring entrepreneurs, helping them
take the right steps toward building a successful and fulfilling future. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
The association brings together one of India&#039;s
leading fashion and beauty destinations and an actor with strong
cross-generational appeal, deepening how consumers discover and engage with
fashion and beauty on Myntra.

Bengaluru,
9th April, 2026 : Myntra today announced global icon and
acclaimed actor, Alia Bhatt as the new face of Myntra and Myntra Beauty. Known
for her broad cultural reach and strong connection with younger audiences,
Alia&#039;s association reinforces Myntra&#039;s position as a go-to destination for
fashion and beauty in India.

Alia&#039;s
first campaign with Myntra marks the launch of Myntra Beauty&#039;s Glow Up Days
event, which will bring the best of beauty to customers at great value. Her
debut beauty film leads with relatable humour. Set against the backdrop of the
Myntra Beauty Glow Up Days event, the film captures a familiar experience every
beauty enthusiast knows, the reluctance to finish that last drop of serum, or
the ritual of coaxing out every bit of an expensive foundation. The film
reflects Myntra Beauty&#039;s core promise: making quality beauty accessible to all.

As
fashion and beauty continue to become meaningful expressions of identity for a
new generation of Indian consumers, the association aligns with Myntra&#039;s
strategic focus on deepening engagement with its existing customer base while
reaching new audiences across metros and emerging markets.

Alia’s
ability to balance aspiration with everyday relatability makes her the perfect
fit for a platform focused on access, discovery, and authenticity. She also
brings a strong appeal across demographics, with particular resonance among Gen
Z and millennial audiences

Speaking
on the association, Alia Bhatt said “For
me, fashion and beauty have always been about confidence and expressing who you
are, authentically. What I truly admire about Myntra is how intuitively it
brings together brands, trends, and technology to make shopping feel seamless
and inspiring. And what better way to kick things off than with a campaign that
speaks to something every beauty lover feels - you shouldn’t have to ration
your favourite products! This was such a fun way to launch this journey. I am
genuinely excited to be part of what Myntra is building in Indian fashion and
beauty retail.”

Adding
to this, Sunder Balasubramanian, Chief Marketing Officer, Myntra said
“At Myntra, we’ve always been driven by the commitment to make the best of
fashion and beauty discoverable and accessible to every Indian consumer. Alia&#039;s
ability to connect across generations and geographies makes her a natural
extension of that intent. Her first campaign with us for Myntra Beauty brings
this to life in a way that&#039;s fun, sharp, and deeply relatable. We&#039;re deeply
excited about this partnership and what it holds in the future.&quot;

Myntra
continues to evolve how consumers discover and engage with fashion and beauty,
backed by a robust brand ecosystem, personalized discovery, and an increasingly
experience-led approach to retail.

About
Myntra
Myntra is one of India’s leading destinations for fashion, beauty, and
lifestyle, offering a curated collection of popular brands across categories.
With a focus on discovery, personalization, and convenience, Myntra serves
millions of customers nationwide through its app-first ecosystem. Its
industry-leading technology, fashion-forward insights, and creator-led content
make it the preferred platform for Gen Z and millennial shoppers. Myntra
continues to shape how India discovers and experiences style, with beauty
emerging as one of its fastest-growing segments. ]]></description>

Distribution Program on February 19, 2026, at the AIS office in Hyderabad.

As
part of this initiative, AIS sponsored the donation of 10 KalArm bionic
hands to deserving upper-limb amputees. This effort reflects AIS’s strong
commitment to social impact, inclusivity, and community upliftment through
technological innovation.

The
KalArm bionic hand, developed by Makers Hive, is an advanced prosthetic
solution designed to restore functionality and independence to individuals who
have lost upper limbs.

The
event was attended by prominent personalities, including actress and social
activist Amala Akkineni as Chief Guest, along with actress and producer
Niharika Konidela and actress Faria Abdullah as Guests of Honour. All
emphasized the importance of empowering amputees through accessible and
affordable technology.

KalArm
is recognized as India’s first fully functional bionic hand, offered at
approximately one-tenth the cost of comparable global devices, making it
significantly more accessible.

The
program featured live demonstrations showcasing the hand’s capabilities, along
with heartfelt testimonials from beneficiaries who shared how the device is
transforming their daily lives by restoring independence and confidence.

Beyond
providing assistive devices, the initiative also focuses on long-term
rehabilitation, including skill development and employment opportunities
for amputees in collaboration with NGOs.

Makers
Hive, AIS, and Global University Foundation reaffirmed their commitment to
scaling such initiatives and leveraging technology to create meaningful and
sustainable social impact for underserved communities. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Kochi,
India – April 09, 2026 : Gold loans in India have long been trusted for
quick access to credit. The process, however, remains largely manual,
time-bound and operationally intensive. Wizzmoni,
a flagship brand of Wizz Financial,
is now redefining that experience.

has introduced India’s first fully Automated Gold Loan Machine, a
breakthrough innovation that enables customers to complete the entire gold loan
journey, from onboarding to disbursement, in real time. This is not just a
faster process; it is a fundamental re‑engineering of secured lending delivery
in India.

The
industry still largely operates on traditional, process-heavy models. This

transparency and overall customer experience.

real-time lending journey. It brings together customer Onboarding and digital
KYC, AI-powered purity assessment and valuation, instant loan approval and

20 minutes, eliminating the manual intervention in Gold Loan Process. The
machine is fully integrated with Company’s LOS-LMS system which provide a real
time updates to the user throughout the loan journey.

With
this launch, Wizzmoni becomes the first NBFC in India to introduce a fully automated,
end-to-end gold loan machine that integrates appraisal, valuation, approvals
and fund transfer in real time.

financial ecosystem, where advanced digital capabilities are embedded into
physical infrastructure to deliver faster, smarter and more accessible
financial services across our key corridors,” said Amir Nagammy, Founder,

gold loan market has been built on trust and immediacy, but the experience has
remained largely unchanged. With this innovation, we are enabling real‑time,
end‑to‑end lending in a single interaction. Starting with Hyderabad, our vision
is to scale into high‑footfall locations, making gold loans as accessible and
familiar as cash deposit machines,” said CA Krishnan R, Director &amp; CEO,
Wizzmoni India.

<title>Talisma Launches Autonomous Customer Operations Platform to Power Enterprise&#45;Grade AI Execution</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/talisma-launches-autonomous-customer-operations-platform-to-power-enterprise-grade-ai-execution</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/talisma-launches-autonomous-customer-operations-platform-to-power-enterprise-grade-ai-execution</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
platform combines domain-trained language models, enterprise-grade security,
and cost-efficient AI deployment for Financial Services
and Education

Bangalore,
India — 9th April : Talisma today announced the launch of its Autonomous
Customer Operations Platform as part of the Talisma
13.0 release, designed to help enterprises successfully
adopt AI in real-world customer operations.

While
AI adoption continues to accelerate across industries, industry reports
indicate that nearly 95% of enterprise AI initiatives fail to move beyond
pilot stages. The most common barriers include data security concerns,
escalating AI token costs, and the complexity of building domain-specific AI
models.

Talisma
13.0 addresses these challenges through a platform purpose-built for enterprise
environments, combining domain-adapted language models, secure architecture,
and optimized AI cost structures.

The
platform currently includes domain-adapted language models for Financial Services
and Education, enabling
organizations in these industries to deploy AI with contextual understanding of
their operational environments.

The
platform is already seeing strong market adoption. Eight enterprise
customers are currently leveraging the platform, with commitments from
32 additional customers expected to roll out the solution in the coming months.
All existing Talisma customers will also gain access to these capabilities
through an upgrade to Talisma 13.0.

Talisma
has already signed customers in the Education sector in the United States
and Financial Services organizations in India, demonstrating early
cross-market adoption of the platform. The company is also planning international
expansion into South Africa and Southeast Asia as demand for
enterprise-ready AI platforms continues to grow.

“Enterprises
want to adopt AI, but many struggle to move from experimentation to production
deployments,” said Dr. Raj Mruthyunjayappa, Chairman and CEO. “With
Talisma 13.0 and our Autonomous Customer Operations Platform, we are enabling
organizations to deploy AI securely, control operational costs, and leverage
domain intelligence that is critical for real business impact.”

Talisma’s
platform is designed to help enterprises operationalize AI through:

●     
Domain-adapted language models
for Financial Services and Education

●       
Enterprise-grade data security architecture

●       
Optimized AI token usage to control costs

●       
Pre-trained industry intelligence to reduce model
training complexity

By
combining domain expertise with advanced AI capabilities, the platform enables
organizations to move beyond experimentation and deploy AI in production
environments across customer engagement and operations.

About Talisma

Talisma
provides enterprise customer experience and engagement platforms used by
organizations across education, financial services, and government sectors to
improve customer engagement, operational efficiency, and outcomes. ]]></description>

<title>Storytelling with Purpose: How Meaningful Narratives Are Shaping Young Minds</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/storytelling-with-purpose-how-meaningful-narratives-are-shaping-young-minds</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/storytelling-with-purpose-how-meaningful-narratives-are-shaping-young-minds</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

In
recent years, conversations around children’s development have increasingly
highlighted the role of storytelling in shaping emotional awareness, empathy,
and confidence during early childhood. While books have always been part of
learning, educators and parents alike are now recognizing how thoughtfully
written stories can influence how children interpret emotions, relationships,
and the world around them.

Designer
and creative professional Spardha Chaturvedi, known for her work in the fashion
industry including her design leadership at Inthing Jeans, has been exploring
this intersection between creativity and storytelling. Her perspective stems
from a broader belief that creative expression—whether through design or
narrative—has the power to influence how people connect with ideas and
emotions.

According
to Chaturvedi, storytelling plays a subtle yet powerful role in a child’s
emotional development. Children often internalize the narratives they hear,
drawing comfort, understanding, and reassurance from characters and situations
that mirror their own feelings or experiences.

A
gentle story, for instance, can help a child navigate anxieties they may not
yet be able to articulate. Similarly, characters who demonstrate kindness,
curiosity, or resilience can quietly reinforce important emotional lessons.

This
understanding inspired the creation of Ved and the Way His World Moves,
a children’s story that reflects how differently young minds perceive and
interpret the world around them. The narrative focuses on celebrating
individual perspectives and encouraging patience and acceptance when children
experience the world in ways adults might not always immediately understand.

Beyond
writing, Chaturvedi has also worked on initiatives aimed at encouraging
children to reconnect with stories in an increasingly fast-paced and digitally
driven environment.

One
such initiative is Little Listeners Club, a storytelling platform designed to
create shared reading experiences where children can slow down, listen
attentively, and engage with stories in a more meaningful way. In settings
where attention is often fragmented by screens and constant stimulation, such
storytelling spaces aim to bring back the simple yet powerful act of collective
listening and imagination.

Complementing
this effort is The Book Nook Initiative, which focuses on improving access to
books for children who may not easily have them available. Through the
initiative, gently used books are collected, restored, and redistributed so
that they can reach young readers in different communities.

The
idea behind the initiative is rooted in a simple belief: that access to stories
should not be limited by circumstance, and that books have the ability to open
new emotional and imaginative worlds for children.

As
conversations around childhood development continue to evolve, storytelling is
increasingly being recognized as a powerful tool—not just for entertainment,
but for nurturing empathy, emotional intelligence, and self-confidence.

Efforts
like this highlight how creative professionals from diverse fields are
contributing to this larger conversation, using storytelling to help young
readers feel understood, supported, and inspired as they begin to make sense of
the world around them.

<title>As Influence Becomes a Boardroom Currency, Executive Presence Is Emerging as a Strategic Imperative</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/as-influence-becomes-a-boardroom-currency-executive-presence-is-emerging-as-a-strategic-imperative</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/as-influence-becomes-a-boardroom-currency-executive-presence-is-emerging-as-a-strategic-imperative</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In
today’s corporate environment, authority is no longer defined by title alone.
It is defined by influence.

Organisations
are operating in an era of constant transformation — digital acceleration,
stakeholder activism, cross-functional complexity, and heightened scrutiny. In
such an environment, the ability to communicate with clarity, command
attention, and inspire confidence has become a decisive professional advantage.

Yet
many senior professionals encounter a recurring challenge: expertise and
experience do not automatically translate into gravitas.

They
may manage high-performing teams and oversee critical portfolios. But in
high-stakes discussions — where strategy is debated and decisions are shaped —
influence often rests with those who project composure, credibility, and
narrative clarity.

Executive
presence is no longer a cosmetic attribute. It is professional infrastructure.

Increasingly,
boards and CXOs expect senior professionals to articulate strategy with
precision, influence without formal authority, navigate complexity with
maturity, and represent their organisations with conviction.

It
is within this context that IIM Kozhikode’s Executive Presence, Influence, and Storytelling
Programme has gained significance.

From
Competence to Command

Professional
advancement traditionally emphasised domain mastery and operational excellence.
Today, those remain essential — but insufficient.

Modern
corporate environments require the ability to:

●       
Influence informally across hierarchies

●       
Communicate vision with clarity and conviction

●       
Build strategic networks that expand impact

●       
Shape persuasive narratives in real time

●       
Manage critical conversations with composure

Executive
presence is not about performance. It is about alignment — between intention,
communication, and perception.

The
Executive Presence, Influence, and Storytelling Programme at IIM
Kozhikode is structured around this progression: from
technical credibility to influence-driven authority.

Delivered
over 12 weeks in a flexible online format, the programme combines structured
pre-recorded modules with live masterclasses by faculty at IIM Kozhikode and
interactive debriefing sessions facilitated by experienced practitioners. With
a weekly commitment of 5–6 hours, participants strengthen executive capability
without interrupting their careers.

The
objective is not personality transformation. It is strategic refinement.

Influence
in Action: Tools That Translate to the Boardroom

The
programme moves beyond theory to actionable frameworks that professionals can
apply immediately.

1.
Informal Influence
Participants recognise the often-invisible factors shaping their
ability to create impact — credibility signals, behavioural cues, and
relationship capital. They learn how influence operates outside formal
reporting lines and how to strengthen it intentionally.

2.
Communication of Vision
Rather than simply presenting information, participants develop a
clear narrative for their professional trajectory and organisational
contribution. They use this “future-self vision” to structure communication
that aligns ambition with strategy.

3.
Informal Networks
Strategic visibility depends on diversified networks. The programme
equips participants with techniques to expand influence beyond immediate
circles, strengthen cross-functional relationships, and cultivate trust across
stakeholder groups.

4.
Narrative Building
In an environment saturated with data, persuasion depends on
storytelling. Participants learn how to construct compelling narratives that
simplify complexity, align stakeholders, and drive decisions.

5.
Framework for Persuasion
Through structured models, participants understand the foundations of
effective persuasion — how to frame arguments, anticipate resistance, and
influence outcomes with integrity.

These
actionables are reinforced through applied exercises, case illustrations, and
guided reflection — ensuring that executive presence becomes a practised
discipline rather than an abstract aspiration.

A
Structured Development Architecture

The
curriculum is organised across
four integrated pillars:

●       
Executive Presence Foundations
— self-awareness, behavioural alignment, gravitas, and credibility.

●       
Communication and Strategic Storytelling
— verbal and non-verbal communication, persuasive structures, and narrative
clarity.

●       
Networking and Personal Branding
— emotional intelligence, resilience, reputation management, and strategic
relationship-building.

●       
Managing Critical Relations and Ethical
Perspective — adaptive behaviour, stakeholder engagement,
cross-cultural sensitivity, and integrity in influence.

Together,
these pillars address a central reality of modern organisations: influence must
be earned consistently across interactions, not assumed through designation.

The
Evolving Mandate of Executive Development

As
corporate environments grow more complex, visibility intensifies. Senior
professionals are expected to represent strategy internally and externally,
navigate ambiguity confidently, and communicate direction under pressure.

In
such settings, executive presence becomes measurable through outcomes —
alignment achieved, trust built, decisions influenced.

IIM Kozhikode’s Executive Presence, Influence, and Storytelling
Programme reflects this evolving mandate. By combining
academic rigour with applied frameworks, it equips professionals to shape
perception intentionally and translate experience into impact.

In
competitive and high-visibility environments, influence is not incidental.

It
is cultivated.

And
those who invest in strengthening it, position themselves to participate in
critical conversations with greater clarity, composure, and credibility. ]]></description>

<title>Swedish Beauty Brand Oriflame Focuses on Income Opportunities in North&#45;East with 13&#45;City Yatra Starting April 7</title>

<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, 8th, April 2026 : As more young consumers look beyond the
limitations of a traditional 9-to-5 and explore flexible ways to earn, social
selling is steadily gaining ground as a low-barrier entry into
entrepreneurship. Swedish brand Oriflame will roll out a month-long yatra with
Whosthat360 across India’s Northeast starting April 7, bringing together
on-ground beauty experiences with a focus on income opportunities.

Spanning
13 locations through April and May, the yatra will begin at Lady Keane College
in Shillong on April 7, followed by MBB College in Agartala on April 9 and
Millennium Centre in Aizawl on April 12. It will then move to Dimapur on April
15 and Kohima on April 17, before covering Assam with stops at Guwahati College
on April 21, Nagaon College on April 23 and Sohum Mall in Dibrugarh on April
25.

The
route continues to Rajiv Gandhi University in Itanagar on April 27, followed by
City Centre Mall in Siliguri on May 5 and Junction Mall in Durgapur on May 7.
The final leg will take place in Kolkata, with South City Mall hosting the May
9 event and the closing scheduled for May 10.

Designed
as a high-energy, on-ground format, the yatra will engage college students and
young audiences through product trials, skincare sessions and interactive
consultations across campuses, malls and public spaces. The focus is on
participation and access, with formats that encourage direct interaction rather
than passive viewing.

“India
is seeing a clear shift in how young people think about work and income. There
is a strong appetite for flexibility and ownership. Through this yatra, we want
to demonstrate how social selling can offer a practical starting point, where
good products can translate into a meaningful business without the usual
startup pressures, said Edyta Kurek, Senior Vice President
and Head of India and Indonesia at Oriflame.”

Adding
to this, Abhishek Chakraborty, Head of Brand, PR &amp; Digital said, “Markets like
the Northeast are increasingly open to new formats of earning and
self-expression. This initiative is about creating access, bringing
opportunities closer to consumers, and building networks at a local level
rather than expecting them to come to us.”

Alongside
these engagements, Oriflame will introduce attendees to its social selling
model, positioning it as a way to build a second income without the typical
challenges associated with starting a business. With no heavy upfront
investment or operational setup, the model allows individuals to start small
and scale at their own pace.

<title>Bennett University enters online education with BBA, MBA degrees</title>

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Programmes aligned with National Education
Policy (NEP) 2020, emphasising flexible and technology-enabled higher
education. 

●       
Designed for working professionals and
aspirational learners seeking flexible, career-focused degrees without leaving
their jobs.

Noida,
India | April 8th, 2026 : Bennett University,
backed by The Times Group, has launched Bennett Online,
a dedicated Centre for Distance and Online Education, offering fully online MBA and online BBA programmes designed for India&#039;s growing cohort
of working professionals who cannot step away from careers to pursue a degree
on campus. 

The
move marks a significant expansion for the Greater Noida-based institution,
which holds a NAAC A+ accreditation, is approved by UGC-DEB to offer online
programmes under the UGC Entitled Category, and has until now operated
primarily as a residential university. Bennett Online will extend the
university&#039;s academic credentials to learners across the country through a
flexible digital format.

Across
industries, professionals are increasingly turning to flexible learning
pathways to keep pace with rapid technological and business transformation.
Demand for online higher education has also grown steadily as professionals
look for flexible, career-focused learning opportunities.

Mr
Vineet Jain, Chancellor of Bennett University and Managing Director of The
Times Group, said, &quot;India is entering a decade
where economic growth will be driven not only by capital and infrastructure,
but also by the strength of its human capital. The ability of professionals to
continuously learn, reskill, and adapt will determine how effectively India
converts its demographic dividend into global leadership. Bennett Online is our
effort to expand access to high-quality, industry-relevant education and enable
ambitious learners across the country to actively participate in India’s growth
story.&quot;

The
launch comes as demand for flexible, employer-recognised degree programmes has
accelerated across India, driven by rapid adoption of digital technology and
data-driven decision-making across industries. Organisations are restructuring
leadership pipelines, and mid-career professionals, particularly those without
postgraduate qualifications, are finding themselves at a disadvantage.

Dr
Raj Singh, Vice Chancellor of Bennett University,
said, “The programmes are designed to emphasise capability building rather
than simple content delivery. Our objective is not simply to deliver content
online; it is to build real capability. These programmes are designed to
strengthen analytical thinking, broaden leadership perspective, and build
digital awareness that professionals increasingly need to succeed in today’s
rapidly evolving business environment.”

The
online MBA programme is designed for professionals targeting leadership and
management roles and combines flexible digital delivery with structured
academic oversight and evaluation aligned to university standards. The Online
BBA programme is a foundational undergraduate degree in business and management
for aspirational learners without interrupting existing commitments.

Both
programmes have been developed in alignment with the National Education Policy
2020, which calls for flexible learning pathways and the responsible
integration of digital education in India&#039;s higher education system. Bennett
Online will operate with full faculty oversight and evaluation frameworks
consistent with the university&#039;s on-campus standards, a key differentiator in a
market crowded with certificate-led platforms and other players.

As
online higher education grows in India, the initiative reflects Bennett
University’s broader commitment to expanding access to credible higher
education while maintaining strong academic standards. As the demand for
flexible learning continues to grow, universities increasingly have a responsibility
to ensure that online education combines accessibility with academic rigour. ]]></description>

Deepak Sharma, Zone President – Greater India and MD &amp; CEO, Schneider
Electric India. “With AI-driven infrastructure expanding rapidly, India
needs efficient, intelligent, and sustainable energy systems more than ever—and

manufacturing, we are driving ‘Make in India for India and the world,’ helping
customers build digital, decarbonized, future ready operations. We are

<title>The ‘Yeet’ and the ‘Roar’: Why Seattle Fans are the Only Ones Who Can Match IPL Energy</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-yeet-and-the-roar-why-seattle-fans-are-the-only-ones-who-can-match-ipl-energy</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-yeet-and-the-roar-why-seattle-fans-are-the-only-ones-who-can-match-ipl-energy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For the average Indian sports fan, &quot;atmosphere&quot; isn&#039;t
just a background hum; it’s a physical force. It’s the rhythmic chanting at the
Wankhede that makes the concrete vibrate under your feet, or the deafening,
high-decibel roar of a Kolkata Derby that swallows every other sound. For
years, we’ve been told that European football is the pinnacle of passion, but
let’s be honest: the polite applause of a London stadium often feels like a
library compared to the absolute chaos of an IPL final.

Enter Seattle.

As the FIFA World Cup 2026 descends upon the United States,
Indian fans looking for a familiar brand of sporting madness need to look past
the glitz of Miami or the corporate sheen of New York. Your destination is the
Pacific Northwest, specifically Seattle Stadium. In the world of American
sports, Seattle fans—known globally as &quot;The 12s&quot;—are the only tribe
capable of matching the raw energy of an Indian cricket crowd.

The Physics of the &quot;Roar&quot;

In India, we measure passion by how many neighbors can hear us.
In Seattle, they measure it on the Richter scale. This isn’t a metaphor.
During a legendary Seattle Seahawks playoff game (remembered as the &quot;Beast
Quake&quot;), the sheer collective jumping and screaming of Seattle fans
actually triggered a nearby seismograph, registering a 2.0 magnitude earthquake.

The Seattle Stadium is architecturally &quot;cheating&quot; in
the best way possible. Its two massive cantilevered roofs are designed like
acoustic mirrors, reflecting every scream back onto the pitch. It is a literal
sound trap. For an Indian fan used to the wall of sound during a Virat Kohli
century, walking into Seattle’s stadium will feel like a homecoming. It’s the
only place in the US where &quot;noise&quot; is considered a tactical 12th
player.

From the &quot;Whistle&quot; to the &quot;Yeet&quot;

Indian fan culture is defined by its quirks—the whistles, the
painted faces, the dhols. Seattle counters with the &quot;Yeet.&quot; If
you wander down to Pike Place Market before a match, you’ll witness the
&quot;Fish Toss&quot;—a tradition where massive, 10kg King Salmons are hurled
through the air with practiced precision.

There is a glorious, shared absurdity between Indian and
Seattleite fans. We have our shunya (zero) tolerance for losing; they
have a Sounders culture that marches through the streets with brass bands. Both
fanbases treat a match not as a 90-minute game, but as a day-long civic
festival.

Why It Matters for 2026

When the World Cup kicks off, most US host cities will feel like
massive, sprawling events. Seattle will feel like a stadium-city.
Because the venue is nestled right in the heart of the downtown &quot;SODO&quot;
district, the energy doesn&#039;t dissipate—it funnels through the streets.

For the Indian diaspora and traveling fans, Seattle offers a
rare synergy. You get the world-class infrastructure of a US tech hub, but the
soul of a city that lives and breathes for its team.

So, if you’re planning your 2026 pilgrimage, don&#039;t just go for
the football. Go for the one city that understands that sports should be loud,
slightly eccentric, and literally ground-shaking.

more personalized and proactive engagement.

Axis
Max Life’s leadership in Life Insurance CuES 2026 reflects its deliberate shift
from delivering process consistency to building customer advocacy by deepening
customer engagement and personalizing interactions across the policy lifecycle.
Using AI and analytics-led segmentation, the Company tailors onboarding,
service, and renewal journeys based on customer behaviour and needs rather than
a one-size-fits-all approach. Digital-first platforms such as ‘DigiSaarthi’
enable flexible, self-served and assisted journeys, while Gen AI-powered
service and speech analytics help prioritize requests, personalize renewal
conversations and deliver faster, more relevant resolution - strengthening
trust and advocacy at key moments that matter. Nearly 90% of customer
interactions are now powered by intelligent, digital-first channels. The
Company’s Customer App offers an experience that simplifies renewals with single-tap
payments and AI-driven reminders, boosting customer lifetime value.

The
Company has redefined turnaround times at scale. Around 70% of customer queries
and requests are now resolved within 48 hours, and 97% of policy benefits are
processed on the same day. A substantial portion of this improvement is driven
by our Gen AI-powered email bot, which handles over 25% of customer emails.

The
Company has also maintained its claims-paid ratio consistently above 99% for
the past 5 years, achieving its highest-ever 99.70% in FY2025.

Sumit
Madan, Managing Director &amp; Chief Executive Officer, Axis Max Life
Insurance, said: “In an industry where customer advocacy is
earned, not assumed, Axis Max Life is setting the benchmark by combining
sharper segmentation, deeper engagement, and experience design anchored in
moments that truly matter. Our #1 ranking in Hansa Research’s Life Insurance
CuES 2026 is a strong validation of our focused effort to move beyond customer
satisfaction to build genuine advocacy. By leveraging digital technology and
data analytics, engaging more meaningfully at critical touchpoints, and
re-imagining journeys across onboarding, renewals, claims, and service
resolution, we are creating an insight-led, cloud-native customer experience;
one that is built on trust, delivers with speed, and is guided by empathy.”

This
recognition adds to Axis Max Life’s growing portfolio of accolades for customer
experience excellence, including national-level honors for digital
transformation and AI-led transformation. Together, these reflect the Company’s
sustained investments in building a future-first organisation driven by trust,
insight, and operational excellence.

<title>MSO Study Abroad Debuts in India with a One&#45;of&#45;a&#45;Kind Event in Chandigarh</title>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/mso-study-abroad-debuts-in-india-with-a-one-of-a-kind-event-in-chandigarh</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ CHANDIGARH, India : In an industry often crowded with traditional consultancy models, MSO (My
School Offer) has officially entered the Indian market with a bold,
experiential approach. Last week, on Saturday, April 4th, MSO inaugurated its
state-of-the-art office in Chandigarh’s Sector 9 with its flagship event, &quot;Global
Take Off.&quot; This event was designed to show students that the journey
to a global degree can be as engaging as the destination itself. 

The office was buzzing
with over 50 students and parents who experienced a &quot;study abroad
fair&quot; atmosphere within a boutique office setting. Unlike a standard
seminar, the event focused on interactive discovery and transparent guidance. 

Riddles, Rewards, and
Readiness 

The highlight of the
&quot;Global Take Off&quot; was a specially curated Scavenger Hunt.
Students didn&#039;t just sit and listen; they participated in a challenge involving
riddles centered around global destinations, testing their knowledge of world
geography and culture in a fun, competitive way. 

Alongside the high
energy of the hunt, MSO provided tangible academic value. The day featured IELTS/PTE
mock tests and strategy sessions, where experts sat down with aspirants to
deconstruct the complexities of standardized testing. The goal was to provide a
clear, honest starting point for every student’s international journey. 

The Journey to the
&quot;Golden Ticket&quot; 

In a move that added an
extra layer of excitement to the launch, MSO introduced its &quot;Golden
Ticket&quot; initiative. Every student who attended and engaged with the
counsellors was handed a physical &quot;Golden Ticket,&quot; serving as their
official entry into a high-stakes lucky draw. The grand prize? A one-way flight
ticket to their chosen study abroad destination. 

The air was thick with
anticipation as students collected their tickets, marking the first step toward
a dream that MSO intends to make a reality through transparent and
compassionate mentorship.  

A Holistic Support
Ecosystem 

MSO recognizes that
studying abroad is a family decision involving more than just applications. To
provide a one-stop-solution, the event hosted partners like Credila for
education loan assistance and AmberStudent for global accommodation
queries. This allowed parents to get their financial and logistical questions
answered simultaneously with the students’ academic counseling. 

A Different Approach to
Global Education 

Kanchan Arora, National
Head of Sales at MSO, highlighted why the Chandigarh launch is a
shift from the norm: 

&quot;At MSO, we listen
first. Our approach is distinct: we believe in compassionate, counsellor-led
mentorship to design study abroad journeys that are not just personalised, but
transparent and future-ready. We aren&#039;t here to be just another consultant; we
are here to be partners in a student&#039;s growth.&quot; 

In addition to the
&quot;Big-4&quot; destinations, MSO’s expertise extends to unique hubs like Malaysia,
Malta, New Zealand, and South Korea. The event also highlighted MSO’s Premium
Counselling services, specifically designed for students targeting the top
1% of universities worldwide, offering specialized mentorship for elite global
admissions. 

About MSO:


Headquartered in Hong
Kong, MSO is a study abroad consultancy with strong roots in the international
education industry. With over 20 years of experience working with institutions,
partners, and students, MSO combines market expertise with digital innovation
to deliver meaningful outcomes and transparent student journeys.

<title>One Purpos® Unveils ‘Voices’: A First&#45;of&#45;Its&#45;Kind Multimedia Platform Spotlighting India’s Purpose Economy</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/one-purpos-unveils-voices-a-first-of-its-kind-multimedia-platform-spotlighting-indias-purpose-economy</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/one-purpos-unveils-voices-a-first-of-its-kind-multimedia-platform-spotlighting-indias-purpose-economy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Debuting
on World Health Day with Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, Ex-Chief Scientist, World
Health Organisation, the platform sets the tone for cross-sector conversations
on leadership, lived experience, and the architecture of purpose-led change.

Ahmedabad,
8th April 2026 : One Purpos®, the flagship strategic initiative by CSRBOX
Group, announces the launch of One Purpos Voices, a pioneering
multimedia platform designed to surface the deeper, often overlooked dimensions
of India’s purpose economy. Built to amplify real-world impact, Voices
brings together podcasts, short documentaries, photo narratives, and sectoral
digests in one unified space, capturing the stories, struggles, and spirit of
changemakers across the country.

More
than a content hub, One Purpos Voices is a strategic storytelling engine
designed to shift how impact is captured and communicated. It moves beyond
surface narratives to reveal the unseen, untold, and unheard, documenting the
lived experiences of leaders, communities, and institutions driving
transformation across India’s purpose economy. From decision-making under
pressure to the human context behind large-scale interventions, the platform
curates high-context storytelling that builds a richer, more authentic lens on
purpose-led change. By integrating frontline experiences with emerging ideas
and sectoral shifts, One Purpos Voices builds a multidimensional lens on how
India’s purpose economy adapts, leads, and inspires.



At
its core, the platform integrates three distinct storytelling formats that
together build a textured narrative of purpose in motion:

●     
Talks
that uncover the lesser-known journeys of leaders driving systemic change

●     
Perspectives
that offer reflective storytelling from institutions, practitioners, and
communities shaping impact

●     
Sector Updates
that decode emerging trends, policy shifts, and catalytic moments across the
purpose ecosystem

Each
format is designed to move beyond documentation and into insight, capturing not
just what’s happening, but why it matters. The result is a dynamic narrative
framework that deepens understanding, sparks reflection, and strengthens the
collective vocabulary of purpose-led transformation.

Marking
its debut on World Health Day, the first episode features Dr. Soumya
Swaminathan, former Chief Scientist, World Health Organization and a widely
respected voice in public health policy. Known for her leadership during the
COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Swaminathan has played a pivotal role in shaping
science-led responses to complex health challenges. The conversation moves
beyond institutional milestones to unpack the realities of leading through
uncertainty, aligning science with policy, and navigating high-stakes
decision-making.

“The sector doesn’t
lack stories, it lacks depth in how those stories are told. One Purpos
Voices is our attempt to shift from surface narratives to insights that
truly inform and shape the future of the purpose economy,” said Shilpi Jain,
CEO and Co-Founder, One Purpos.

Upcoming
episodes will feature conversations with Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Hon’ble
Minister of Culture and Tourism, Government of India; Ameera Shah, Promoter and
Executive Chairperson, Metropolis Healthcare; Vineet Rai, Founder &amp; Vice
Chairman, Aavishkaar Group; Swati Munjal, President, BML Munjal University; and
Abhijit Bhattacharya, former Captain, Indian Men’s Volleyball Team, bringing
forward diverse lenses across healthcare, policy, education, sports, and impact
investing. Alongside these marquee voices, One Purpos Voices will also
introduce untold, purpose-driven stories from every corner of India, offering a
unified platform to experience the full spectrum of impact, insight, and
inspiration in one place.

With
this launch, One Purpos Voices signals a strategic shift in how the
impact sector approaches storytelling. It moves from episodic coverage to
insight generation and institutional memory building. By bridging a crucial gap
between outcome-focused narratives and the deeper thinking frameworks that
drive them, the platform enables practitioners, policymakers, and emerging
leaders to engage with the lived experiences, decision-making contexts, and
sectoral shifts that shape purpose-led transformation.

As
India’s purpose economy continues to evolve, One Purpos Voices is
positioned to serve as a reference point for leadership thinking, contributing
to a more reflective, informed, and connected ecosystem.

About
One Purpos

One
Purpos is a purpose-first platform built as an operating system for India’s
Purpose Economy, connecting people, capital, ideas, and action to drive
scalable and systemic impact. Through its verticals, including One Purpos
Openings and One Purpos Voices, it enables opportunities, talent, and
narratives that strengthen and shape the impact ecosystem. ]]></description>

<title>FinBox Launches MCP support for Sentinel AI; Enables complete Credit decisions within AI conversations</title>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/finbox-launches-mcp-support-for-sentinel-ai-enables-complete-credit-decisions-within-ai-conversations</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Credit infrastructure platform adds
standardized interface for AI-native lending experiences

●       
The company currently works with with 100+
enterprises such as ABCL, PFL, and HDFC Bank

National,
April 08  : FinBox, a leading credit infrastructure
platform serving over 100 enterprise lenders across banks, NBFCs, fintechs, and
conglomerates, today announced support for MCP (Model Context Protocol) in
Sentinel AI, its decision management platform that has facilitated over 6.5
billion decisions till date. MCP support allows AI agents, internal tools, and
partner applications to trigger credit workflows directly through Sentinel AI
using a standardized interface - without duplicating underwriting logic or
compromising governance controls.

With
MCP support, lenders can enable conversational lending where borrowers move
from inquiry to approval within the same AI interaction. They can build
internal copilots that allow loan officers to simulate scenarios or trigger
approvals through natural language, and power embedded finance integrations
where partner applications offer lending through agent-led experiences. Through
all of this, they maintain centralized governance, with all decisions running
through the same underwriting models, fraud checks, and policy frameworks. The
integration runs entirely within a lender&#039;s secure environment, ensuring data,
models, and execution remain under institutional control.

While
borrowers can increasingly interact with AI to explore lending options, most
credit decisions still require separate application flows or manual handoffs.
The AI can inform, but it can&#039;t execute which creates friction at the moment of
decision and forces lenders to choose between innovation and compliance. MCP
support enables Sentinel AI to participate directly in these new interfaces,
allowing underwriting, pricing, fraud checks, and policy-governed approvals to
be triggered within the same interaction.

“With
AI interfaces becoming more capable, the question for lenders is no longer
whether to adopt them, but how to ensure they connect back to governed
decisioning,” said Rajat Deshpande, Co-founder and CEO
of FinBox. “MCP support allows Sentinel AI to serve as the execution
layer behind these new interfaces, so lenders can experiment with new journeys
without rebuilding their credit infrastructure.”

MCP
provides a protocol layer that allows external systems to interact with
Sentinel AI through a consistent interface. When an AI agent needs to make a
credit decision, the agent sends a structured request to Sentinel AI via MCP.
Sentinel AI then executes the decision using existing underwriting models,
pricing rules, and fraud checks. The governed decision is returned to the agent
within the same interaction, and all activity is logged and auditable within
Sentinel AI&#039;s existing compliance framework. No duplication of logic. No
fragmented decisioning. No compromise on governance.

“Lenders
don’t want to rebuild their stack every time a new interface emerges,” said
Srijan Nagar, Co-founder of FinBox. “MCP provides a consistent way
for new systems to interact with Sentinel AI, reducing integration overhead
while keeping governance intact.” ]]></description>

<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/deutsche-bank-and-akshaya-patra-launch-pune-kitchen-to-tackle-classroom-hunger</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/deutsche-bank-and-akshaya-patra-launch-pune-kitchen-to-tackle-classroom-hunger</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The
newly inaugurated kitchen, part of the PM POSHAN initiative, will serve
nutritious mid-day meals to 25,000 children across 29 schools in Pune.

Pune,
April 7, 2026 : Reinforcing a shared commitment to child
nutrition and education, Deutsche Bank, as part of its CSR programme in India,
in partnership with The Akshaya Patra Foundation—an implementing partner of the
Government of India’s PM POSHAN scheme—today inaugurated a state-of-the-art
centralised kitchen facility in Shivajinagar, Pune.

The
kitchen was inaugurated by Mr. Kaushik Shaparia, CEO, Deutsche Bank
Group, India &amp; Emerging Asia along with Mr. Benjamin Alka, Global
Head of Corporate Affairs &amp; Strategy, Deutsche Bank. Representing The
Akshaya Patra Foundation were Mr. Shridhar Venkat, CEO and Shri Sampati Dasa,
Regional President – Pune.

Designed
to serve hot, nutritious, and wholesome meals to 25,000 children across 29
government and government-aided schools in Pune, the kitchen will play a vital
role in strengthening classroom attendance, improving nutrition outcomes, and
expanding access to education for children in the region.

This
facility marks a significant step in strengthening Pune’s school meal
ecosystem. Spread across a built-up area of 20,000 sq. ft., the kitchen has
been designed to the highest standards of food safety, hygiene, and operational
efficiency. Meals will be distributed within a 20-kilometre radius using a
fleet of electric meal-delivery vehicles, underscoring a strong commitment to
environmental sustainability alongside social impact.

Speaking
on the occasion, Mr. Kaushik Shaparia, CEO, Deutsche Bank Group, India &amp;
Emerging Asia, said: “At Deutsche Bank, we have always believed
that the most enduring investments are those made in people. The inauguration
of this kitchen in Pune reflects the depth of our partnership with Akshaya
Patra and our shared conviction that no child’s education should be compromised
by hunger. As India’s future is shaped in its classrooms today, this kitchen
represents our commitment to ensuring that more children in Pune have access to
the nutrition and education they deserve. It is also deeply gratifying that our
partnership with Akshaya Patra has now crossed the landmark of 100 million
meals served.”

Shridhar
Venkat, CEO, The Akshaya Patra Foundation, said,
“Each kitchen we build is a commitment—to the
child, to the classroom, and to the nation. This Pune facility stands as a
testament to what strong public-private partnerships can achieve under the PM
POSHAN framework. We are deeply grateful to Deutsche Bank for their continued
support and to the Government of India and the Government of Maharashtra for
their trust and collaboration.”

The
launch of the Pune kitchen marks a significant milestone in The Akshaya Patra
Foundation’s efforts to scale high-impact nutrition interventions across India.
It reinforces a shared vision of building a nourished and educated nation,
advancing the broader goal of a developed India through sustained investments
in child nutrition and education.

Deutsche
Bank’s partnership with Akshaya Patra dates to 2014, anchored in the belief
that no child should be denied an education because of hunger. Over the past
decade, the bank has supported the provision of mid-day meals to nearly 5,00,000
children across Gandhinagar, Jaipur, Bengaluru, and Pune, while also
extending relief support during times of disaster. In a landmark moment for the
partnership, Deutsche Bank crossed the milestone of 100 million meals served
in January 2026, commemorated at a special event in Jaipur.

<description><![CDATA[ The All India Sainik Schools Alumni Meet
2026 was successfully held in New Delhi, bringing together more than 150
alumni from Sainik Schools across India in a landmark gathering aimed at
strengthening the national brotherhood of the Sainik Schools fraternity and
creating a unified alumni platform for national collaboration.

The initiative traces its origins to 2018,
when the idea of building a national alumni movement was first initiated by Santosh
Kumar, an alumnus of Sainik School Tilaiya (2001–2008 batch).
Santosh Kumar, who currently serves as a Chief Officer in the Merchant Navy,
envisioned bringing together Sainik School alumni from across India on a common
platform to strengthen their collective contribution to the nation.

Taking this vision forward, Kumar Basant Singh,
Founder and CEO of ATIR PoliTech, has played a key role in advancing the
initiative and organizing the All India Sainik Schools Alumni Meet 2026.
Kumar Basant Singh is an entrepreneur building India’s first AI-powered
election management platform, aimed at modernizing campaign management and
political technology in India.

The event was organized under the theme:

“Service Beyond Uniform: Brotherhood, Nation
&amp; Next Generation.”

The gathering reflected the powerful legacy of
Sainik Schools, whose alumni today serve the nation in the Armed Forces,
civil services, administration, politics, entrepreneurship, academia, and
corporate leadership.

Distinguished Chief Guest

The event was graced by Chief Guest Shri
Naresh Gangaram Raval, Former Home Minister and Industries &amp; Mines
Minister, Government of Gujarat, and a proud alumnus of Sainik School
Balachadi.

In his address, Shri Raval spoke about the
lifelong impact of Sainik School education and the strong sense of brotherhood
it creates among alumni.

Recalling an interesting personal anecdote, he
shared that during his time in public life he spent nearly a month working
closely with Narendra Modi, who at the time was associated with political
organisational work. During those discussions, Shri Modi had expressed that he
once wished to study at a Sainik School but could not get the opportunity,
and that he still carried that regret.

Shri Raval remarked that this reflects how fortunate
Sainik School alumni are to have received an education that builds discipline,
leadership, and a distinct identity.

He also shared a memorable story from his
tenure as Industries Minister, when the government was promoting
industrial development by providing subsidies to industries. At that time, when
asked if he wanted any personal benefit in return, he instead requested that television
sets be installed in Sainik School Balachadi, where facilities were very
limited during those years.

Within a short time, colour televisions
were arranged and installed in the school, bringing great happiness to the
cadets. Shri Raval noted that in those days, even basic provisions in Sainik
Schools were limited due to tight budgets, and facilities such as television
were considered a luxury.

Speaking about the early days of alumni
networking, Shri Raval also recalled how the Sainik School
Balachadi Alumni Association was initially built with very modest
resources.

He shared that before the era of mobile
phones, alumni communication relied entirely on postcards and letters,
often sent through postal mail to save even small amounts of money.

“In those days, to communicate with fellow
alumni we used postcards because they were cheaper than envelopes. But slowly,
through dedication and brotherhood, the alumni association grew stronger. Today
it has become a very strong network.”

Concluding his address, Shri Raval
congratulated the organisers of the All India Sainik Schools Alumni
Meet 2026 and expressed his support for the initiative.

“All of you who studied in Sainik Schools are
extremely fortunate. These institutions shape character, discipline, and
leadership. The effort to build a national alumni platform is a very important
step, and I extend my full support and congratulations to the organisers.”

The event proceedings were conducted by Master
of Ceremony Rajesh Griglani, a senior political leader, who
skillfully anchored the programme and guided the audience through the various
sessions of the alumni meet, ensuring the smooth flow of the event.

His presence and engagement added depth to the
discussions and highlighted the growing interest of leaders from public life in
strengthening the Sainik Schools alumni network and its contribution to
nation-building.

<description><![CDATA[  

●       
First proposition from DBS curated for the
emerging affluent segment

●       
Brings the best of the bank’s global standards
to customers in 350+ locations across India

●       
Zero forex mark-up on DBS Aspire debit card
caters to globalised lifestyles

India,
April 7, 2026 : DBS Bank India announced its new DBS Aspire banking proposition,
along with the signature Aspire debit card, designed for the country’s
fast-growing, well-travelled, emerging affluent segment. DBS Aspire extends
premium banking access to clients with a total relationship value of Rs. 10
lakh or a minimum monthly savings account average balance of Rs. 2 lakh,
positioning the bank as a long-term banking partner to these customers as they
grow their wealth.

As
international mobility, overseas education and work opportunities abroad
increase, it has fuelled a preference for the higher-tier aspects of
service-led banking such as a dedicated relationship manager and benefits that
align with their multi-location lifestyles. India’s emerging affluent are also
at a nascent stage of wealth accumulation and are still predominantly value
driven.

DBS
Aspire has been crafted to address the needs of this upwardly mobile, digitally
savvy set of customers that have grown beyond mass banking. The proposition includes
high returns on savings account balances, zero charges on banking services,
coupled with the seamless digital access of digiportfolio, the bank’s
cutting-edge investment platform.

Speaking
on the new offering, Ambuj Chandna, Managing Director &amp; Head of Consumer
Banking Group, DBS Bank India, said, “We identified a clear gap in the
market where a majority of existing banking propositions cater to either a mass
audience or at the other end - the premium wealth segment of High Net-Worth
Individuals (HNIs) and Ultra-HNIs. The emerging affluent segment has remained
structurally underserved, and we believe that DBS Aspire speaks to this
sizeable audience by bringing together both value added and aspirational
benefits, delivered through a relationship-led model that is reinforced by the
bank’s advanced digital capabilities.

Aspire
is the first DBS offering that has been tailored expressly for an emerging
affluent base, to support them as their financial goals evolve, reflecting our
belief that a bank can be a trusted partner to customers as they move up the
wealth continuum.”

Key
benefits for customers of the DBS Aspire program include:

●     
Zero forex mark-up on international spends
on the DBS Aspire debit card &amp; zero charges on all banking transactions
&amp; services, as part of the DBS Aspire program.

●     
Access to a Relationship Manager*
- an offering typically associated with higher-end banking propositions.

●     
A competitive interest rate
of 5% per annum on savings account balances between Rs. 2 lakh and Rs. 50 lakh,
significantly higher than the rate being offered by most major banks.

DBS
Aspire complements the bank’s existing wealth proposition, DBS Treasures, which
serves wealth customers with a total relationship value of Rs. 30 lakh and
above. DBS Treasures clients can access a full suite of customised wealth
management solutions, experienced relationship managers, exclusive privileges,
backed by the trusted advantage of the DBS platform.

<title>Kayhan Entertainment Charts Next Phase of Growth as an integrated IP&#45;led ecosystem with strategic focus on IP ownership and creative exports</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The
studio is building original, globally scalable content from India while lending
its creative and technical expertise to larger collaborations

Mumbai,
April 07, 2026 :  Kayhan Entertainment Private Limited
is entering its next phase of growth as a next-generation storytelling studio
focused on creating original intellectual property (IP) for global audiences.
Kayhan was founded with a clear vision to blend strong storytelling with
world-class VFX and CGI. The studio is focused on delivering high-quality
visual experiences across films, television, advertising, and digital
platforms, combining creative thinking with technical precision.

At
a time when India has established itself as a global hub for VFX and animation
services, Kayhan represents a strategic shift in approach. While the industry
has long contributed to large-scale international projects, ownership of
stories has remained limited. Kayhan is addressing this gap by moving from
execution to ownership, and from project-based work to building original,
culturally rooted content designed to scale globally leading with IP ownership
while remaining open to strategic collaborations where its animation, VFX, and
creative expertise can add value at scale.

Founded
by Dalbir Singh and Arushi Govil, the studio brings together complementary
strengths across creative vision and production execution. Dalbir Singh, with
over 15 years of experience in VFX and filmmaking, has worked on global
productions such as Avengers: Endgame, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and Venom,
and leads the creative direction of the studio. Arushi Govil brings a strong
production background, having worked with leading studios including MPC,
Framestore, and DNEG on films such as Tenet, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, and
Brahmastra, and focuses on building structure and clarity in large-scale
creative execution.

Since
its inception Kayhan’s journey has been focused on building a strong creative
and production ecosystem alongside developing original IP while developing a
pipeline of original content. A key milestone has been the launch of its first
IP, “Chote Tara Ka Bada Gadar,” on Kids Zee in 2025, reflecting its ability to
take culturally rooted storytelling to a mainstream platform. Further expanding
its IP slate, Kayhan is Introducing FAB 5, an original animated series that
reflects its focus on scalable, character-driven storytelling. Designed as a
fast-paced episodic format, FAB 5 blends action, humour, and emotional
storytelling, while reinforcing themes of teamwork, courage, and kindness
positioning it as a culturally resonant property with potential for long-term
franchise development across platforms. 

Speaking
about the vision behind Kayhan, Dalbir Singh, Co-Founder, said, while we
bring deep expertise in animation and VFX that we are happy to lend to the
right collaborations, our primary focus is building an IP-led creative enterprise.

Adding
to this, Arushi Govil, Co-Founder, said, “As we scale, our focus is on
building the right mix of talent and capability. India has an incredible pool
of creative potential, but the real opportunity lies in nurturing that talent
within strong production ecosystems. At Kayhan, we are investing in people as
much as we are in IP bringing together global experience and emerging creators
to build stories that can compete at an international level. Expansion for us
is not just about growing output, but about building depth in creative
thinking, execution, and long-term storytelling capability.”

Looking
ahead, Kayhan aims to evolve into an IP-led ecosystem built across multiple
verticals, including media and storytelling, consumer and merchandise, education
and talent development through Macra, and experiences and distribution such as
AR and VR. A key focus will also be on building an IP incubator and developing
transmedia storytelling formats, where a single story can extend across
animation, gaming, and immersive platforms.

As
the company enters its next phase of growth, its long-term vision remains clear
to build a globally relevant storytelling company from India, creating IP that
travels across formats, markets, and time. Today, the company operates with a
growing team of professionals, combining international production experience
with an evolving in-house setup.

About
Kayhan

Kayhan
Entertainment is a next-generation storytelling studio focused on building
original intellectual property (IP) rooted in Indian culture and designed for
global audiences, the studio operates across animation, VFX, gaming, and
digital storytelling, combining creative vision with world-class production
expertise.

With
IP ownership at the core of its strategy and a continued openness to lending
its expertise on larger creative collaborations, Kayhan is developing
culturally rooted stories that can scale across formats, platforms, and
geographies, creating long-term value through transmedia storytelling.

The
company is also building a talent ecosystem through Macra, its training
initiative focused on nurturing the next generation of creators in animation,
VFX, gaming, and digital storytelling. Backed by founders with extensive global
production experience, Kayhan aims to build globally scalable IP from India and
contribute to the country’s evolution into an ownership-driven creative economy. ]]></description>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/alphabetz-preschool-records-strong-q1-2026-growth-expands-across-9-states-with-rapid-center-launch-pipeline</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Alphabetz
Preschool has reported a high-growth first quarter in 2026, driven by strong
franchise demand, rapid geographic expansion, and an accelerated center launch
pipeline. The performance reflects increasing trust among education
entrepreneurs and a growing demand for structured early childhood learning
across India.

Widespread
Expansion Signals Strong Market Confidence

During
Q1 2026, the network expanded with the addition of 21 new franchise partners,
marking a significant milestone in its growth journey. This expansion spanned 9
states and 21 cities, demonstrating a well-distributed presence across
diverse regional markets.

The
wide geographic spread highlights a deliberate strategy to move beyond
conventional metro clusters and tap into emerging urban locations, where organized preschool education is witnessing
steady demand.

Regional
Strength Drives Growth Momentum

A
key highlight of the quarter was the exceptional performance in Telangana,
which emerged as the top-performing state with 10 new center bookings—accounting
for nearly half of the total Q1 additions. This strong regional concentration
reflects deep market penetration and brand preference in the state.

At
a city level, expansion remained evenly distributed, with Addagutta
among the top-performing locations. The uniform spread of bookings across 21
cities indicates balanced demand and the brand’s ability to scale across
multiple micro-markets simultaneously

Rapid
Launch Timeline Ensures Immediate Market Impact

A
defining feature of the quarter is the speed at which new partnerships are
being converted into operational centers. The rollout plan reflects a strong
focus on quick market entry:


 March 2026: 8 centers
 April 2026: 6 centers
 May 2026: 2 centers
 June 2026: 3 centers
 August 2026: 1 center
 November 2026: 1 center


Notably,
14 centers are scheduled to become operational within March and April 2026,
highlighting a fast transition from onboarding to execution. This rapid
deployment underscores efficient internal systems and a high level of
commitment from franchise partners.

Strengthening
Academic and Operational Excellence

The
growth trajectory is supported by continuous enhancements in curriculum
delivery and operational systems. The preschool model is built on a structured,
child-centric framework designed to support early learning outcomes while
maintaining ease of execution for partners.

Recent
focus areas include:


 Strengthened
     training programs for educators and center teams
 Improved
     digital and operational support systems
 Ongoing
     refinement of curriculum aligned with modern learning needs
 Enhanced tools
     to support communication, creativity, and foundational skill development


These
improvements ensure consistency in quality while enabling centers to deliver
engaging and effective learning experiences.

Strategic
Outlook for the Coming Quarter

Building
on its strong Q1 performance, the focus for the next phase will be on
operationalizing newly signed centers and expanding further into high-potential
regions. Key priorities include:


 Timely launch
     of upcoming centers across states
 Deeper
     penetration in high-performing regions like Telangana
 Expansion into
     new and underserved markets
 Continued
     investment in training, curriculum, and partner support


With
a robust pipeline and increasing demand, the network is well-positioned to
sustain its growth momentum through the rest of 2026.

<title>Editing Beyond Borders: Anushri Srinivasan Iyer’s Journey Across Cultures and Cinema</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/editing-beyond-borders-anushri-srinivasan-iyers-journey-across-cultures-and-cinema</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/editing-beyond-borders-anushri-srinivasan-iyers-journey-across-cultures-and-cinema</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Anushri Iyer at the premiere of her first feature film as Addition Editor. Film title: ‘Where the Wind Blows’ streaming on ⁠ Amazon Prime VideoNew Delhi [India], April 06 : For Anushri, editing has never been tied to one place. Her journey, from Dubai to Mumbai to Los Angeles — has gradually shaped a practice that moves across languages, genres, and different corners of the film industry. Having edited films in Hindi, English, Mandarin, and Spanish, Anushri Srinivasan Iyer approaches storytelling with a simple belief: emotion doesn’t belong to one language, and the best films don’t need translation to be felt. Anushri’s journey into editing didn’t begin in a film school or on a professional set, but in a classroom in Dubai, where she first opened Adobe Premiere Pro as a high school student. What started as curiosity quickly turned into instinct. That instinct was affirmed early on when she was placed second amongst approximately 45,000 entries in the international CBSE Adobe Creativity Challenge celebrating 150-years of Mahatma Gandhi. She was invited to the Adobe Headquarters in Delhi, and was felicitated by Mr. Shantanu Narayen, The Chairman/CEO of Adobe Inc USA- A moment that marked the beginning of something much bigger. While doing her undergraduate studies at Whistling Woods International, Film City Mumbai, her relationship with storytelling began to take shape — not just technically, but creatively and personally. During this time, she directed and edited the short film Radhika, which went on to win multiple awards, including Best Amateur Film at the Sun of the East International Film Festival, The Goa International film festival and Tagore International Film Festival. Anushri’s work gained recognition with the short film Vijaya Dashami, which was selected among the top 100 short films at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival, Mumbai. Anushri was the Head of the Whistling Woods Earth Charter, where she organized initiatives focused on environmental awareness and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It was her move to Los Angeles that marked a turning point. At the American Film Institute Conservatory, where she completed her Masters Degree in Film Editing, Anushri Iyer found herself in an environment that pushed her to refine both hercraft and her voice. Working across a wide range of genres — including comedy, thriller, animation, and horror — she began to understand just how much power an editor holds. Her thesis film HIM, screened at the AFI FEST 2025 at the Chinese theater in Hollywood, became a particularly defining project. Anushri’s thesis film ‘HIM’ was selected across various film schools to receive an Amazon Studios AI Grant. Through the grant she explored the various uses of AI in filmmaking. The process changed the way she approached editing, allowing her to better understand the inner lives of characters and guiding her to make choices that felt more deliberate and more intuitive to the story itself. During her time at AFI, she also edited ‘Spectre’ and ‘When the cold wind blows’ which premiered at the Singapore Int Film Festival 2025 and Beyond Fest 2025 Los Angeles 2025. She also volunteered at the SMPTE MTS 2024 and ACE Eddie Awards 2025 and 2026. Anushri Iyer has steadily built her presence within the Hollywood Film industry. She has worked as an Assistant Editor on the feature film The Best Summer, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival which received coverage in major publications such as Variety and Rolling Stone. She also worked as an Assistant Editor on the short film The Window Cleaners, which was part of the For Your Consideration campaign for the Academy Awards. Her work extends across both traditional and digital platforms. As a freelance Assistant Editor for Jubilee Media, she contributed to widely viewed digital content, while continuing to edit independent narrative films in Los Angeles. She also served as an Additional Editor on the feature film Where the Wind Blows, which had a theatrical release and is now available on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video. Anushri Srinivasan Iyer is an Avid certified professional and is currently working as a Post-Production Assistant at Sony Pictures for a show to be released in 2026 on Apple TV, while also serving as an Assistant Editor on two upcoming feature films set for release — continuing to build a career that moves fluidly between independent and studio spaces. For Anushri, editing isn’t just about assembling footage, it’s about understanding what a moment is really trying to say, and shaping it so it lands honestly with an audience.Anushri’s editing perspective is shaped by her experiences across film industries, cities, and cultures — but grounded in something simple: paying attention to performances, to rhythm and to the small, often invisible choices that ultimately define how a story is experienced. As her learning continues to grow, Anushri remains drawn to stories that feel personal yet resonate widely — stories rooted in emotional truth and human connection. Because at its core, she believes cinema works the same way everywhere—it connects through feeling, not language ]]></description>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/vazaneh-by-prbhjiit-maniktala-debuts-at-bombay-times-fashion-week-with-an-emotion-driven-couture-narrative</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As
conversations around Indian couture continue to evolve toward emotion-led
storytelling, craftsmanship, and deeply personal narratives, a fresh voice
has emerged on the runway. With its debut showcase at Bombay Times Fashion
Week, VAZANEH by Prbhjiit Maniktala
introduced a distinctive couture perspective that blends emotional storytelling
with refined craftsmanship.

The
brand approaches couture as an intimate expression of emotion, where
storytelling, identity, and design come together. Rooted in translating
intangible human experiences into garments, VAZANEH reflects a new wave of
designers redefining contemporary Indian couture through thoughtful design and
narrative-driven collections.

A
Poetic Couture Debut

VAZANEH’s
debut collection explored love as a transformative force, moving beyond romance
to represent a deeper journey of vulnerability, awakening, and personal growth.
Each garment symbolized a stage of emotional evolution, capturing how profound
human connections reshape identity and self-expression.

At
the heart of the presentation was a striking showstopper look: a
crystal-embellished lehenga paired with a dramatic trailing cape. Designed in
hues of black, pink, gold, ivory, and violet, the ensemble featured intricate
floral, scroll, and arabesque motifs, evoking blossoms scattered across a
twilight sky.

The
showcase concluded with Farhana Bodi walking as the showstopper,
embodying the collection’s essence of strength and elegance. Adding to the
glamour of the evening, actress Jacqueline Fernandez attended the
showcase as Guest of Honour, whose presence elevated the event and brought
additional attention to the brand’s debut.

Craftsmanship
and Design Language

The
collection highlighted meticulous craftsmanship through hand-painted details,
delicate crystal and stone embellishments, and layered floral embroideries. Luxurious
fabrics such as Habutai silk, Italian tulle, French Chantilly lace, lamé, and
silk satin were carefully selected to create a balance between structure,
texture, and dimension.

VAZANEH’s
silhouettes lean toward sculptural and architectural forms, featuring
sculpted bodices, corsetry, fish-cut lehengas with capes, exaggerated sleeves,
and sharply defined shapes. The designs combine precision tailoring with
layered construction, creating a couture narrative, that feels both powerful
and emotionally expressive.

Sharing
insight into the inspiration behind the collection, designer Prbhjiit
Maniktala said, “Love is one of the most transformative experiences
we go through as human beings. It reveals parts of us we didn’t know existed
and changes us in ways we can’t always explain. This collection expresses that
journey of vulnerability, discovery, and the quiet strength that follows.”

About
the Founder

Prbhjiit
Maniktala is a fashion entrepreneur and creative director known for building
brands with clarity and a strong design identity. In
2025, she founded VAZANEH, a couture label shaped by her philosophy of quiet
strength, architectural silhouettes, and modern Indian elegance.

Actively
involved in every aspect of the brand from textile development and fittings to
styling and overall narrative she works closely with Indian artisans to
maintain exceptional craftsmanship and quality. In a short span of time,
Maniktala has positioned VAZANEH as a promising new voice in the luxury couture

<title>Marwar Mahasammelan: A Unique Confluence of Unity of All Communities in Ramdevra, Pledge Taken to Eradicate Casteism via a &amp;apos;Jal Kalash&amp;apos; (Water Urn)</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/marwar-mahasammelan-a-unique-confluence-of-unity-of-all-communities-in-ramdevra-pledge-taken-to-eradicate-casteism-via-a-jal-kalash-water-urn</link>

<description><![CDATA[  Jaisalmer/Ramdevra: Under the auspices of the
Samajik Ekta Manch (Social Unity Forum), the historic &#039;Marwar Mahasammelan&#039; was
organized on Sunday at the holy pilgrimage site of Ramdevra in Jaisalmer. The
grandest feature of this event was its historic &#039;Jal Samagam&#039; (Water Confluence),
where people from all castes and classes poured water brought from their
respective homes into a single &#039;Sarvodaya Kalash&#039; (Urn of Universal Upliftment)
and took a solemn oath to completely root out casteism.

This was perhaps the first such occasion on the soil of
Marwar where such a massive crowd gathered without the labels of caste or
religion, engaging in deep brainstorming on meaningful societal issues. The
main focus of the conference was centered on three key points: the eradication
of unemployment, the abolition of casteism, and environmental conservation.

Historic Moment: &#039;Jal Samagam&#039; and &#039;Sarvodaya
Kalash&#039; Around 1:00 PM, the most emotional and historic moment of the
event, the &#039;Jal Samagam&#039;, was witnessed. Erasing the divides of caste, people
from various communities brought water with them. All of this water was poured
into a single urn as a symbol of unity and harmony, which was subsequently
named the &#039;Sarvodaya Kalash&#039;.

Industrialist Meghraj Singh Royal&#039;s Emphasis on
Unemployment, Education, and Environment: Addressing the gathering,
prominent industrialist and Chairman of the United Global Peace Foundation,
Meghraj Singh Royal, clearly stated that unemployment is currently the biggest
problem. He noted that meritorious children of Marwar scoring above 90 percent
are left behind due to a lack of resources. The foundation is preparing such
children for higher education and administrative services (IAS, IPS), ensuring
that capable individuals enter the administration in the future to change the
state&#039;s landscape.

Highlighting the immense potential for solar energy in
Rajasthan, he suggested that unemployed youth should be allotted barren land
and integrated into solar power generation. This, he noted, could generate
crores in income and millions of jobs. He also described tourism as a massive
source of employment. He elaborated on five key points:


 Solution
     to Unemployment and the Solar Energy Model: In his keynote address,
     Royal explained that Marwar possesses limitless wealth in the form of the
     sun. Presenting a solid economic model, he stated that if just 10% of
     Rajasthan&#039;s barren land is given to the unemployed and farmers, 1 megawatt
     of electricity can be generated on 4 acres of land, yielding an annual
     income of ₹50 lakh. This model can provide direct employment to 4.5
     million (45 lakh) people in Marwar and generate crores in revenue, with
     indirect jobs reaching into the millions.
 Tourism and Revival of
     Traditional Arts: He shared his journey of putting Jaisalmer on the
     global tourism map in 1986 alongside Dr. Lalit K. Panwar. He explained
     how, starting from camel stables, he built a hotel industry that didn&#039;t
     just construct buildings but provided local Manganiyar singers, artisans,
     and dancers with a global platform and sustainable employment.
 Scientific and
     Historical Explanation of Casteism: Launching a scathing attack on
     casteism, Royal said that in ancient times, &#039;caste&#039; was identified not by
     birth but by skill and occupation (such as potter, barber, gardener). It
     was merely a work style, which was later twisted into the disease of
     &#039;casteism&#039; by the British and politicians for their selfish motives. He
     compared casteism to the salty water of the sea, urging people to abandon
     it and create sweet water through the technology of hard work.
 Tsunami of Technology
     (AI) and Warning of East India Company 2.0: He warned the youth that
     in the near future, technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) will
     snatch away jobs on a massive scale. Therefore, it is essential to
     preserve manual skills and traditional arts. Terming large corporate
     retail chains as the new &quot;East India Company,&quot; he appealed to
     the public to stop ordering goods from foreign online companies and to
     support local traders and brethren instead; otherwise, 70% of the coming
     generations will be left unemployed.
 Public
     Policy, Not Politics (Lokneeti, Not Rajneeti): Meghraj Singh Royal
     clarified that the purpose of this platform is not to form a political
     party. However, he called upon the public to send educated, capable youth
     who wear suits and ties and understand technology and the economy to the
     Legislative Assembly and Lok Sabha, rather than uneducated leaders.
Vision of Humanity and Harmony - Dr. Vikrant Singh
Tomar: Renowned motivator Dr. Vikrant Singh Tomar explained the significance
of the name &#039;United Global Peace Foundation&#039;. Interpreting the word &#039;United&#039;,
he recalled India&#039;s great culture that embraced Parsis, Greeks, Christians, and
Muslims with an open heart. Through a story of a blind man and a lame man
trapped in a forest fire, he illustrated that in times of crisis—much like the
fire of animosity burning in society today—we must become each other&#039;s support.
Under &#039;Global&#039;, he shared the message of Jambhoji Maharaj&#039;s love for the
environment, and under &#039;Peace&#039;, he spoke of translating Mata Karni&#039;s devotion
into action through social service. He mentioned that the foundation provides
scholarships to meritorious children and is exploring employment avenues as far
away as Australia.

Marwar&#039;s Cultural Heritage and Brotherhood - Arvind
Singh Bhati: Arvind Singh Bhati, Student Union President of Jai Narain Vyas
University, Jodhpur, stated that today&#039;s Mahasammelan is a collective effort to
save Marwar&#039;s &#039;Apanayat&#039; (sense of belonging) and love. Citing historical
examples, he reminded the audience that Lord Ram ate the half-eaten berries of
Mata Shabari, and the supreme societal positions given to Maharishi Valmiki and
Mahatma Vidur prove that karma (deeds) is paramount. He recalled Marwar&#039;s
social fabric, where from birth to death, every auspicious and religious
function sees the equal and respectful participation of all castes like Nai
(barber), Suthar (carpenter), Manganiyar, etc. Bhati urged the youth to avoid
the &#039;digital cocaine&#039; of social media and have the courage to call out what is
right.

Solutions Along with Problems - Mukesh Meghwal:
UGPF Manager Mukesh Meghwal, in an emotional address, shared that to prepare
this unity platform, he toured the villages and hamlets of Marwar for three
months, inviting all 36 communities. He emphasized that Shri Meghraj Singh
Royal doesn&#039;t just point out society&#039;s problems but implements concrete
solutions. Hotel management training for 100 youths at Suryagarh with a monthly
stipend of ₹25,000, funding marriages for poor daughters, and providing free
education for 700 children through the foundation are living examples. From the
land of Baba Ramdev, he administered an oath to all attendees to strengthen
social unity and brotherhood.

Hard Work is the Real Prestige - Sant Omdas Maharaj:
Sant Omdas Maharaj stated that a person&#039;s prestige comes not from their money
or position, but from their Purusharth (hard work/effort). Praising the
selfless service of Shri Meghraj Singh, he remarked that he is &#039;Royal&#039; not just
on the outside, but on the inside as well. The saint honored the sacrifices
made by the ancestors of the Meghwal community (such as Raja Ram Meghwal,
Manana ji, etc.) for water and society during the historical construction of
Pushkar, Pichola, and Mehrangarh. He called upon everyone to tear down the
walls of hatred and be threaded together like beads in a single garland.

Example of Great Men and Youthful Energy - Moti
Singh Jodha: Youth leader Moti Singh Jodha, in his impassioned address,
asserted that untouchability and hierarchy were never part of our original
culture. The chief guest at Lord Ram&#039;s coronation was Kevat (a boatman). Pabuji
Maharaj was accompanied by brave men of the Bhil community, and in Maharana
Pratap&#039;s army, Bhils, Gadoliya Lohars, and Hakim Khan Sur stood firmly shoulder
to shoulder. He urged the crowd to stand with full strength behind platforms
and champions of action who strive to advance education, employment, and the
entire society together.

Confluence of Heritage, Culture, and Folk Art:
The program was formally inaugurated by Umrao Singh Jodha and Raees Ahmed
Malik. Impactful screenings of the &#039;Marwar Documentary&#039; and &#039;Soch Documentary&#039;
took place. Youth leader Lokendra Singh Bhati delivered a speech on the
glorious history of Marwar, while Madho Singh engaged in a deep discussion on
&#039;Heritage and Culture&#039;. Following this, Babu Khan Jinawati infused new energy
among the attendees with his brilliant &#039;folk poetry&#039; performance. Representing
women&#039;s empowerment, Mrs. Asha Meghwanshi explained the critical &#039;Role of Women
in Social Integration&#039;.

Importance of Education: Educationist Prof.
Amrika Singh, who has served as Vice-Chancellor of universities in Rajasthan,
highlighted the pivotal &#039;role of education&#039; in the upliftment of society.Message from Former IAS Lalit K. Panwar and Prof.
Shakeel Parvez: During the conference, former IAS and son of Marwar, Lalit
K. Panwar, and the CEO and Academic Director of the Marwar Muslim Welfare
Educational Society, Prof. Shakeel Parvez, delivered special messages via video
conferencing. Both speakers highly praised the three main initiatives raised by
the Samajik Ekta Manch and United Global Peace Foundation—eradicating
unemployment, abolishing casteism, and conserving the environment—and affirmed
that the foundation is doing excellent grassroots work in these directions.

From Integral Humanism to Sarvodaya: People of
all religions and communities set an incredible example of unity and harmony by
simultaneously pouring water into the urn placed on the stage. The clarion call
of this Mahasammelan, rising from the holy land of Baba Ramdev, made it clear
that Marwar has now taken a step in a new and positive direction based on
employment, education, and brotherhood. Dr. Vikrant Singh Tomar stated that
this urn is a symbol of moving from Integral Humanism towards Sarvodaya
(Universal Upliftment). The Mahasammelan proved that if the entire society of
Marwar unites to focus on education, employment, and the environment, the
stigma of unemployment and casteism can be wiped out from Rajasthan forever.
This successful Mahasammelan concluded with a vote of thanks by Durjan Singh.

Booklet Attracted Attention: A booklet
distributed by the organizers caught everyone&#039;s attention. It revealed the
truth behind the dominance and glare of solar companies in the region. It
detailed two projects outlining a blueprint for unemployment eradication and
environmental conservation, leaving everyone highly intrigued. ]]></description>

<title>YES Securities Reports Growing Interest in Demat Accounts and SIP Planning Among New Investors</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/yes-securities-reports-growing-interest-in-demat-accounts-and-sip-planning-among-new-investors</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/yes-securities-reports-growing-interest-in-demat-accounts-and-sip-planning-among-new-investors</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ YES Securities has observed a notable rise in
participation from new-age investors who are increasingly embracing digital
platforms for structured investing. The company reports growing interest in
Demat accounts and systematic investment planning (SIP), reflecting a broader
shift toward disciplined and technology-driven financial management. As more
individuals explore capital markets for wealth creation, the demand for
seamless onboarding and simplified investment tools continues to grow. This
trend also indicates increasing financial awareness and a stronger focus on
long-term wealth creation among retail investors. The expansion is being driven
not only by metro cities but also by growing participation from tier-2 and
tier-3 cities, where digital access and financial literacy initiatives are
encouraging first-time market entrants.

Key
Highlights:

●       
Rising number of first-time investors choosing
digital onboarding to open Demat accounts.

●       
Growing preference for SIP-based investing
among young and salaried investors.

●       
Increased usage of digital financial planning
tools such as SIP calculators.

●       
Higher awareness of goal-based and disciplined
investing approaches.

●       
Strengthened investor confidence supported by
secure and compliant platforms.

The surge in account openings indicates that
more first-time investors are choosing to open a Demat account
through digital channels, prioritising convenience and accessibility. With
streamlined digital KYC processes and paperless verification, onboarding has
become faster and more efficient. Industry-wide data supports this trend,
recently published depository statistics show that CDSL crossed 17.27 crore
Demat accounts by December 2025 (end of Q3 FY26), up from 15.30 crore earlier
in FY26, becoming the first Indian depository to reach this milestone and
maintaining nearly 80% market share. This steady expansion highlights rising
retail investor participation across the country. The consistent rise in
account additions also reflects increasing trust in regulated financial
intermediaries and improved digital infrastructure across the investment
ecosystem.

Alongside the growth in Demat accounts, YES
Securities has also reported increasing awareness around disciplined investing
through SIPs. Investors, particularly young professionals and salaried
individuals, are opting for systematic investment routes to build long-term
wealth while managing market volatility. The rising adoption of digital
financial tools has made planning and monitoring SIPs more accessible than ever
before. Many investors are beginning their investment journey with SIPs as an
entry point to understand market cycles while maintaining a structured
contribution approach.

To support this trend, investors are actively
using tools such as an SIP
calculator to estimate potential returns and plan
contributions more effectively. These calculators enable users to visualise
projected outcomes based on investment amount, tenure, and expected returns,
helping them align their investments with financial goals. By offering clarity
and realistic projections, such tools empower investors to make structured and
informed decisions.

The use of an SIP calculator also reflects a
growing preference for goal-based financial planning rather than speculative
investing. Whether saving for a home, higher education, or retirement,
investors are increasingly relying on data-backed projections to determine
monthly contributions and long-term strategies. This shift indicates a maturing
investor base that values consistency, discipline, and financial literacy. The
focus is gradually moving from short-term trading gains toward sustainable
portfolio growth backed by systematic planning.

YES Securities notes that the combination of
digital Demat onboarding and structured SIP planning is reshaping retail
participation in Indian capital markets. Investors are not only entering the
market in higher numbers but are also demonstrating a stronger understanding of
diversification, risk management, and long-term wealth creation. Integrated
platforms that offer account access, portfolio tracking, and research insights
are playing a significant role in facilitating this transformation.

Security and transparency remain central to
this growth. Digital platforms backed by encryption, multi-factor
authentication, and regulatory compliance measures are enhancing investor
confidence. As participation expands, reliable systems and secure processes ensure
that new investors can engage with financial markets with clarity and trust.

With the rise in Demat account openings and
increasing interest in SIP-based investing, YES Securities continues to witness
evolving investor behaviour that prioritises structured planning and
technology-enabled access. The trend signals sustained momentum in retail
participation, supported by digital innovation and growing financial awareness
across the country.

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

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/rajasthan-charts-path-for-standardized-cancer-care-through-multi-stakeholder-workshop</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Jaipur, April 3, 2026 — In a significant move to strengthen discussions around continuum of cancer care across the state, a high-level workshop titled “Align for Impact: Strengthening Comprehensive Cancer Care in Rajasthan” was held on April 1, 2026, in Jaipur. The workshop was jointly organized by Bhagwan Mahaveer Cancer Hospital &amp; Research Centre (BMCHRC), Roche India Healthcare Institute (RIHI), and APCO, bringing together senior government officials, leading clinicians, public health experts, and development partners.With Rajasthan witnessing high new cancer cases annually, the workshop focused on addressing critical gaps in cancer care by initiating the development of comprehensive, state-specific Standard Treatment Guidelines (STGs) and how participation of private players along with government will help in strengthening the cancer care in Rajasthan. These guidelines aim to ensure consistency in diagnosis, treatment protocols, and patient outcomes while promoting equitable access to quality care across both urban and rural areas.The Chief Guest, Hon’ble Health Minister, Shri Gajendra Singh Khimsar, Government of Rajasthan, addressed the gathering and reiterated the state’s strong commitment to bolstering healthcare infrastructure and improving cancer outcomes.“The Government of Rajasthan remains strongly committed to bolstering healthcare infrastructure and delivering better cancer outcomes for our people. Our increased health budget allocation demonstrates this resolve to expand access and improve quality of care across the state. Initiatives like developing state-specific Standard Treatment Guidelines are timely and critical for creating an equitable cancer care ecosystem,” said Shri Gajendra Singh Khimsar.Deliberations during the workshop covered key areas including early detection and screening programs, access to advanced therapies such as immuno-oncology and precision medicine, sustainable financing mechanisms through schemes like Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY and Mukyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana (MAA Yojana), and the vital role of public-private partnerships in bridging existing gaps.Experts at the workshop emphasized the need for greater emphasis on public-private partnerships to effectively address existing gaps in cancer care pathways, development of a robust referral mechanism in the state based on the capabilities and infrastructure available in both public and private sectors, and establishment of state-specific Standard Treatment Protocols for cancer care to ensure uniformity and better patient outcomes across all levels of healthcare.Major General Subhash Pareek (Retd.), Executive Director, BMCHRC, emphasized the need for strong institutional collaboration, stating that building an effective cancer care ecosystem requires a unified, patient-centric approach rooted in clinical excellence and standardized practices.Dr. Monika Puri, CCO, Roche, underscored the value of adopting global best practices and robust implementation frameworks.“Bringing the best of innovations in immuno-oncology and precision medicine has limited value if they do not reach the right patient at the right time. We need strong collaboration between government, industry, academia and civil society to focus on early detection, awareness, screening, and standardized treatment protocols across all levels of care. Industry is ready to partner on value-based and outcome-based models to make advanced cancer care more accessible and effective in Rajasthan,” she said. Dr. P R Sodhani, Chair of one of the key panel discussions, highlighted the practical way forward: “To strengthen comprehensive cancer care, we must have greater public-private partnerships covering service delivery, infrastructure, human resources, digital systems, and seamless information sharing. When all stakeholders come together, we will successfully achieve our goals of standardized and high-quality treatment for every patient. This collaborative spirit is essential for the roadmap ahead.”The workshop concluded with a collective commitment from all stakeholders to develop and implement Rajasthan-specific Standard Treatment Guidelines. A detailed roadmap with clear milestones is expected to be finalized in the coming months. This initiative represents a major step toward creating a more coordinated, equitable, and future-ready cancer care ecosystem in the state. ]]></description>

<title>Geeta University Announces Comprehensive NextGen Smart Campus Transformation and Flexible Academic Framework</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/geeta-university-announces-comprehensive-nextgen-smart-campus-transformation-and-flexible-academic-framework</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/geeta-university-announces-comprehensive-nextgen-smart-campus-transformation-and-flexible-academic-framework</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ PANIPAT, HARYANA : Geeta University (GU),
functioning under the Haryana State Private University Act, 2006, with 40+
years of legacy in education, has officially announced the massive overhaul of
its 40-acre campus with 8 acres outdoor sports, into a completely NextGen Smart
campus and administrative environment. Alongside this technological overhaul,
the University has also implemented a Flexible Choice Based Credit System
(CBCS), enabling students to create interdisciplinary academic and PASSION
programs in line with the changing professional environment.

Geeta
University,
carrying forward the legacy of the Geeta Group of Institutions, combines the
benefits of academic systems with the latest technological infrastructure. The
recent developments indicate a collective institutional strategy to optimize
campus operations, promote academic flexibility, and align educational delivery
with modern technological trends.

NextGen Smart Campus:
Institutional Automation Across the Student Lifecycle

The campus transformation at Geeta
University covers the entire student lifecycle, including attendance
management, academic delivery, grievance redressal, financial processing, and
campus connectivity. The aim is to automate internal processes and improve
accessibility and transparency for students, faculty, and the administrative
departments.

1.Digital Attendance System 

Geeta University has moved from
the conventional physical attendance system to a NextGen Smart digital
attendance system. The new system automatically updates attendance records in
real time with the central database, providing instant access to attendance
information for faculty and administrative departments. The digital framework
removes all potential discrepancies in manual attendance tracking and provides
immediate access to attendance records for all stakeholders.

2.Smart Library Services 

The library infrastructure in the
campus has been developed into a Smart Library with algorithm-based search
systems. Students can search for books, journals, and research papers using
contextual search queries, unlike before when they had to search using exact
title names. The system also provides students with personalized academic
recommendations based on user interaction patterns, thus optimizing resource
discovery efficiency.

3.Advanced E-Learning Platform 

Geeta University has developed an
integrated e-learning platform that includes attendance management, lecture
notes, assignments, and quizzes. The NextGen Smart dashboards help students
with systematic progress analysis and automated reminders. This integrated
academic platform enables students to access their coursework and academic
performance data in one digital space.

4.Integrated E-Governance System 

For addressing non-academic
issues, Geeta University has developed an integrated e-governance platform.
Students can submit service requests regarding hostel maintenance, IT support,
and administrative services. The NextGen Smart system automatically classifies
and prioritizes the issues, thus ensuring trackable and accountable resolution
mechanisms.

5.Unified Fee and Scholarship Portal 

The financial management
operations have been integrated into a NextGen Smart unified portal. The system
automates fee payment tracking, digital receipt generation, and real-time
scholarship eligibility monitoring. By consolidating financial data, the
University provides transparency and efficient financial communication.

6.Connected Campus Experience 

The NextGen Smart learning systems
have also been implemented in the campus connectivity infrastructure. The
infrastructure now includes NextGen Smart security solutions, digital identity
verification systems, navigation assistance tools, and automated helpdesk
support, thus enabling a digitally integrated campus experience.

Flexible Choice Based Credit
System: Redefining Academic Structure

Geeta University has also
digitized its academic structure by introducing a Flexible Choice Based Credit
System (CBCS), which is described within the framework “Design Your Own Degree
Option.”

The CBCS system with NEP-2020
aligned degrees enables students from all 11 schools of the University to pair
their core subjects with electives offered by other departments. This system
enables students to gain cross-disciplinary knowledge in academics while
retaining subject expertise.

For example:

·       Culinary Arts students can choose
to study taxation laws to gain business acumen. 

·       Engineering students can take
credit courses in music or photography to enhance creative skills. 

·       The model promotes academic
mobility between disciplines, enabling students to design their learning
journey as per their choice and professional goals. 

In contrast to the inflexible
course structure, the CBCS system promotes structured flexibility while
ensuring credit integration as per the University’s academic rules.

Geeta
Technical Hub : Advanced Computing and Emerging Technology Programs

Geeta
University has established the Geeta Technical Hub as a dedicated center of
excellence to deliver advanced computing and emerging technology programs.
These programs are carefully designed to align with evolving industry demands
and innovation-driven professional environments.

 

Through
the Geeta Technical Hub, students are provided with hands-on, industry-oriented
learning across cutting-edge domains, including: 

·       Artificial Intelligence

·       Data Science (in collaboration
with HCL)

·       Cyber Security and Digital
Forensics 

·       Internet of Things (IoT) 

·       Cloud Computing 

·       Advanced Image Processing 

·       Natural Language Processing 

·       Data Analytics 

·       High-Performance Computing 

Geeta
Technical Hub (GTH) ensures practical exposure, skill-based training, and
industry relevance, enabling students to stay competitive in today’s rapidly
advancing technological landscape.

Industry Integration and
Structured Placement Outcomes

In line with the academic and
technological transformation, Geeta University has also shown substantial
engagement with the industry through its placement and corporate training
programs. According to the latest placement statistics made available by the
University, over 3500+ job offers have been received from more than 550+
recruiting companies during the recruitment process. The highest package ₹40
LPA was offered.

The recruitment process includes
participation from global companies such as Amazon, IBM, and Flipkart. The
placement statistics indicate a structured interface between the University’s
academic departments and the corporate recruitment teams.

To further enhance alignment
between academic education and industry needs, Geeta University has established
the Geeta Technical Hub (GTH). The Geeta Technical Hub provides specialised
certification paths in partnership with top Recruiters: Infosys, Amazon, TCS,
IBM, Wipro, Cipla, Cognizant, Flipkart, Tech Mahindra and HCL recruiters are
also among them.

The certification programs are
practical skill integration that are in demand according to corporate
requirements. By incorporating industry-approved training modules into the
academic framework, the University provides students with access to real-world
technological paradigms.

Geeta Finishing School:
Professional Skills Development

In addition to technical skill
development programs, Geeta University has established the Geeta Finishing
School (GFS). This is a dedicated program aimed at soft skills development and
professional preparedness. The Finishing School provides training in the
following areas:

·       Business communication 

·       Negotiation techniques 

·       Interview preparation 

·       Corporate interaction skills 

The aim is to enable students to
transition from an academic to a corporate environment. By providing training
in technical skills, communication and presentation skills, the University
provides multi-dimensional professional development within its campus setup.

International Presence and
Academic Engagement

The Panipat campus is currently
home to a diverse group of students representing 31 countries and 22 Indian
states. This is an indicator of the University’s presence in both domestic and
international regions. To formalise international academic engagement, Geeta
University has established Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with foreign
institutions. These include:

·       University of São Paulo,
Brazil 

·       Murdoch University,
Australia 

The MOUs enable student exchange
programs and academic collaborations. The agreements enable international
academic engagement while ensuring alignment with University policies.

Scholarship Allocation and
Financial Support Mechanisms

Financial accessibility is still a
structured part of the admission policy at Geeta University. ₹24 crore+
scholarships have been allocated by the administration. Applicants can avail
scholarships for tuition fee waivers of up to 100 per cent through the Geeta
University Test of Scholarship (GUTS) on the basis of merit assessment.

The NextGen Smart scholarship
management system is integrated with the financial system, allowing real-time
monitoring of scholarship eligibility status and tuition fee adjustments. By
doing so, the University provides structured documentation and transparency in
scholarship management.

 

Campus Infrastructure and Student
Facilities

The 40-acre campus is located on
NH-71A in Panipat and is designed to integrate academic infrastructure
with student facilities. Seven acres of the campus are allocated for sports
infrastructure, which provides space for sports training and recreational
activities. The University provides separate hostels for male and female
students, which supports structured multicultural campus life.

The campus is also used as a venue
for cultural and industrial interactions. Recent events conducted at the
University have included appearances by celebrities such as Kanika Kapoor and
Raftaar, which have helped increase campus interactions beyond academic
courses.

Institutional Development

The Geeta University makeover is a
structured institutional development process that includes automation of
operations, restructuring of curriculum, industry and global interactions.

The NextGen Smart campus
infrastructure integrates the following:

·       Online attendance management
systems 

·       Smart Library services using
algorithms 

·       Enhanced e-learning
platforms 

·       Centralized e-governance
systems 

·       Structured financial and
scholarship management systems 

Interconnected campus security and
navigation systems

At the same time, the Flexible
Choice Based Credit System enables students to opt for technical subjects along
with vocational and creative subjects, thus breaking down strict academic
streams.

The advanced computing programs in
fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cyber Security, Internet
of Things, Cloud Computing, and so on, help to align academic programs with
technology domains.

Industry-based training from the
Geeta Technical Hub and soft skills training from the Geeta Finishing School
enhance professional development in addition to academic learning.
International MOUs and a diverse student body also add to the University’s
academic environment.

Institutional Overview

As a state private university in
Haryana, Geeta University is constantly developing its academic and
administrative framework in a technology-enabled environment.

The shift from manual processes to
NextGen Smart systems represents a paradigm shift in the management of the
University. With automation, academic flexibility and industry engagement, the
University has brought its operational efficiency in sync with academic
delivery.

infrastructure with an interdisciplinary approach to the industry-collaborated

engagement options are available for spending an interactive day with children,
delivering sessions focused on nutrition and basic life skills education, as
well as internship in both rural and urban areas.

For those unable to
participate in person, the organization offers virtual engagements such as
creating content on hunger-related issues, contributing articles and research,
documenting outreach efforts and undertaking online research on solutions to
hunger.

Rise Against Hunger
India also conducts a two-hour “Gather-for-Good” virtual engagement for
corporates, featuring insights on hunger and nutrition along with interactive
sessions.

“Everyone is welcome,
participants of all age groups can join, no special skills are required, and
there is no cost to participate.,” Mr. Mohapatra said.

Volunteers may also opt
for immersive community experiences, interacting with communities to better
understand food security and nutrition challenges.

The organization says
volunteering not only helps address hunger but also promotes community
development and meaningful engagement.

<title>How Weight Loss Surgery Reverses Diabetes &#45; Dr Amit Sood Explains</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-weight-loss-surgery-reverses-diabetes-dr-amit-sood-explains</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-weight-loss-surgery-reverses-diabetes-dr-amit-sood-explains</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India, April 03, 2026 :
The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) says that above 537 million adults
are suffering from diabetes and related conditions. And some of the recent
studies show that the number is expected to rise to 643 million by the year
2030. Being the most populous country in the world, the number of diabetic
patients in India is much higher, nearly 101 million, making India the country
with the highest diabetes burden. Healthcare professionals and experts believe
that nearly 90-95% of the cases are type 2 diabetes, and the main reason for it
is obesity and poor metabolism. 

Day by day, the number of cases is increasing.
Doctors say that most of the patients struggle to control their blood sugar
even if they are under medication and lifestyle changes. This is where
metabolic and weight loss surgery comes into action as an effective treatment
option. According to Dr Amit Sood, renowned as the best Bariatric Weight loss surgeon in Panchkula.
The modern process and weight loss surgeries help patients to reduce weight and
keep the hormonal balance intact, and change the body dramatically. 

Link Between Diabetes and Obesity

Some of the Best Bariatric Weight Loss surgeons in Haryana and
other parts of India believe that the development of Type 2 diabetes is mainly
due to obesity as a fundamental factor. When the body accumulates excess fat,
particularly around the abdomen, it becomes less responsive to insulin. The
body develops insulin resistance, which requires the pancreas to increase its
insulin production for blood sugar control. The pancreas eventually fails to
produce enough insulin to meet demand, which results in elevated blood sugar
levels that cause diabetes.

 

“Weight loss surgery is not just about
reducing weight, it’s about correcting metabolic problems that contribute to
diabetes,” explains Dr Amit Sood . “For many patients, surgery
triggers hormonal changes that improve insulin sensitivity and help normalise
blood sugar levels.”

How Weight Loss Surgery Helps Reverse Diabetes

Surgical methods for weight loss use gastric
bypass and sleeve gastrectomy methods to reduce the size of the stomach. The
procedures enable patients to eat smaller amounts of food, which leads to lower
calorie intake and results in substantial weight reduction throughout their
lives.

The process benefits people suffering from
diabetes in many ways. The surgical procedure triggers major body changes that
lead to the development of new glucose metabolic pathways. The body begins to
operate its hunger hormones together with insulin production and blood sugar
control mechanisms in a more effective way.

 

Many patients see their blood sugar levels
improve quickly because their bodies start to respond to diabetes treatment
before they lose a significant amount of weight. Medical professionals can help
patients who undergo surgery to stop taking their diabetes medications within a
few months after their procedure.

Transforming Lives Through Metabolic Surgery

The weight loss surgeries not only improve the
blood sugar level but along with it it also provide multiple benefits, such as
improved blood pressure, cholesterol level, sleep apnea, and joint pain.
Improved body functionality often results in increased energy level, mobility
and qulaity of life.

For individuals living with both obesity and
diabetes, metabolic surgery represents a life-changing opportunity to regain
control over their health.

 

“Diabetes does not have to be a lifelong
burden for everyone,” says Dr Amit Sood. “With the right
treatment approach, including metabolic surgery for eligible patients, many
people can achieve remission and enjoy a healthier future.”

<title>Innopark Ventures Invests INR 5 Crore Seed in Skill Metaverse India, an AI&#45;native marketplace for influencer and performance marketing</title>

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

Metaverse is an AI-first technology company building intelligent platforms for
the influencer and performance marketing ecosystem. Its platform-first
architecture leverages proprietary foundational models trained on six years of
real campaign data, combined with continuous learning systems that evolve with

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

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

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

<title>Women&#45;led food venture in Himachal builds rural livelihoods through traditional skills</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/women-led-food-venture-in-himachal-builds-rural-livelihoods-through-traditional-skills</link>

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

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

<description><![CDATA[ In a thoughtfully curated engagement that blended 
inspiration with practical insight, renowned author, entrepreneur, 
columnist, and interior design enthusiast Twinkle Khanna engaged with 
aspiring designers in a dynamic and intellectually stimulating session 
at NIF Global Mumbai – Andheri Platinum Centre.The
 experience was further enriched by an immersive campus walkthrough, 
where Twinkle Khanna explored curated student design installations 
across fashion, interiors, and spatial storytelling. A key highlight was
 “The Design Banter Show,” an interactive student-led segment that 
sparked candid conversations on design, trends, and personal expression.As
 a mentor at NIF Global, Twinkle Khanna shared thought-provoking 
perspectives drawn from her multidisciplinary journey. Addressing 
aspiring designers, she emphasized the importance of balancing 
creativity with functionality, particularly in interior design. 
“Breaking rules may work in art; Picasso did that brilliantly - but 
design, especially interiors, must remain functional. It’s not just 
expression; it’s about how people live,” she remarked. During an
 engaging session, she candidly responded to student questions, offering
 sharp and practical insights. Speaking on home design essentials, she 
highlighted the need for space and adaptability, adding humorously, “You
 need space, especially when you have many personalities within 
yourself.”She also addressed modern design challenges, cautioning 
against superficial trends. “Designing for Instagram first is a red 
flag. Luxury without comfort is another. True design must serve the 
user, not just the lens,” she noted.On professional integrity, 
Khanna encouraged students to make mindful decisions, even in personal 
situations. “If a friend isn’t qualified, you don’t hire them. Clarity 
and honesty matter in this profession,” she said, reinforcing the 
importance of merit-driven choices.Highlighting the evolving 
creative landscape, she spoke about the growing influence of AI. “We are
 living in a time where AI is everywhere, but it’s only a tool. 
Creativity must remain human. Machines don’t have a soul; your 
authenticity is your greatest strength,” she advised.Vivek 
Gautam, Director, NIF Global Andheri, shared, “It was an honour to host 
Twinkle Khanna at our campus. Her ability to blend creativity with 
clarity gave our students invaluable real-world perspectives. At NIF 
Global, we remain committed to creating such meaningful engagements that
 prepare our students to become thoughtful and future-ready designers.”The
 visit reinforced NIF Global Andheri - Platinum Centre’s position as a 
hub of creative excellence, offering students not just academic learning

opportunities that shape the designers of tomorrow. ]]></description>

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

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

How to Choose the Right
Watch This Summer

The selection of the appropriate watch in the summer sale 2026 will be
based on your daily routine, style, and use. There are so many summer sale
watches out there that it only takes a few quick enquiries to settle on one.

Start
with your lifestyle. In case you require something
to wear in the office or any everyday clothing, a clean analog watch or a men’s
wrist watch analog can be worn with most of the
clothes. Digital or hybrid models are more
flexible and can have such features as alarms and various time zones, which are
necessary in casual and active routines.

Then there is your outfit preference. Black and silver colours are
formal, and the blue or rose gold colours are used to give character to the
casual style. This applies to both watches for men and watches for
women.

Function
also matters. When you prefer something more than
just a simple time piece, visit automatic watches for men or the type of chronograph that combines both style
and functionality.

Where to Buy – Shop
Sylvi Watches Online

Finding
the right watch is now easier with Sylvi’s online platform. Instead of
searching for a watch shop near me, you can explore the complete range of
summer sale watches directly on the official website.

versatile daily wear option, the platform makes browsing simple and smooth.

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

<title>Sharecirculate Launches Advanced Global PPP Calculator to Transform Salary Benchmarking for Indian Professionals</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/sharecirculate-launches-advanced-global-ppp-calculator-to-transform-salary-benchmarking-for-indian-professionals</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sharecirculate-launches-advanced-global-ppp-calculator-to-transform-salary-benchmarking-for-indian-professionals</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune,
March 31, 2026 : Sharecirculate, an emerging platform offering financial and
stock market insights, has today launched its Advanced Global Purchasing Power
Parity (PPP) Calculator. The calculator is made for Indian professionals who
want to compare their salaries across the globe.

The
launch of the Advanced Global Purchasing Power Parity Calculator
by Sharecirculate is aimed at simplifying international payroll comparisons,
remote working, and global hiring trends, which are transforming the world of
work very deeply. And as individuals are increasingly inclined to explore
international avenues, having a reliable method of comparing income levels
between countries becomes essential.

Sharecirculate&#039;s
Global PPP Calculator, on the other hand, deals with this problem and enables
its users to compare salaries based on real purchasing power rather than just
currency exchange rates.

Downsides
of Standard Methods for Salary Comparisons

Converting
salaries to one common currency using the exchange rate, which is the most
popular method of salary comparisons, can actually lead to very false
conclusions in today&#039;s highly connected world. Despite one salary being larger
in foreign currency, the value of the salary might be drastically reduced by
the local cost of living, taxes, and other expenditures.

For
example, a person earning in US Dollars may appear at first glance to be making
more than someone earning in Indian Rupees.

However,
when both individuals pay for different things, such as house rent, modes of
transportation, healthcare, and food, the level of comfort and luxuries that
each individual attains might be very different.

To
offer a solution, Sharecirculate has introduced its Global PPP Calculator,
which is capable of providing a much deeper and more thoughtful way of
comparing salaries across countries.

Instead
of just changing one currency to another, the tool brings in the concept of
purchasing power parity to tell the users exactly what their salary can buy for
them.

Understanding
an Extremely Complex Economic Concept

Purchasing
Power Parity (PPP) is a comparative measure of currencies based on the price
levels of a basket of goods and services in two countries.

In
spite of the frequent use of PPP by economists and multinational entities, most
people find it a complex notion that is difficult to reference in their
everyday decisions.

Sharecirculate&#039;s
calculator takes a complicated economic theory and makes it user-friendly with
one click: figure out salary, select a country, and test out salary comparison
in real terms.

The
new perspective opens up a great number of people who were previously
overwhelmed with trying to figure out global salary comparisons.

Key
Features of the Advanced Global PPP Calculator.

The
newly launched calculator is designed to provide both simplicity and accuracy.

Instant
Salary Comparison

Immediately
check your salary against the ones in various countries to help you make
decisions with respect to job offers abroad or relocating.

Resolving
Cost of Living Differences

Represent
the real picture of your financial health by considering the cost of living
wherever you are.

Easy
to Operate

Performing
even the most complex calculations can be done with just a few clicks on our
tool, which sported such a stylish yet minimalistic look that it was impossible
to resist opening more.

Reliable
Data

Comparisons
are rooted in real-life situations thanks to the sourcing of trusted economic
indicators by the tool.

Who
can use the calculator?

One
can consider it as a tool to:

●       
Perform working professionals&#039; job including
all categories such as services, manufacturing, etc.

●       
Employees working remotely

●       
Freelancers

●       
People looking for jobs

●       
Undergraduates who are considering global
careers

Dealing
with Indian Professionals in the Worldwide Economy.

India
has grown to be a significant contributor to the international workforce,
particularly in the fields of cutting-edge technology, finance, consulting, and
digital services.

One
of the major questions that Indian professionals have before them is the
comparability of overseas remuneration with their Indian income.

Sharecirculate
has made a Global PPP Calculator to clear the confusion with a hard and solid
offer of data.

Using
this tool, Indian professionals can get a good perspective on their:

●       
determination of whether an international
offer of work is financially worth it

●       
knowing their salary&#039;s world standing

●       
choosing whether to move or work remotely

●       
planning goals of finance over the longer term

Therefore,
allowing users to make better choices based on tangible financial worth rather
than assumptions.

The
remote work change has opened up avenues for personnel to support themselves
through different companies worldwide at their convenience of their location.
Nevertheless, with the rise of remote work, there are complexities in
establishing fair wage remuneration.

Different
companies base salaries on the location of the staff, which has confused
employees about whether their package is competitive or not.

Sharecirculate&#039;s
PPP Calculator stands as a solution that can directly tackle this problem by
providing a clear and simple way to compare incomes of different locations.

Both
the employer and employee sides can realize and comprehend the differences in
pay based on location full,  Check and
ensure fairness and competitiveness in wages, Make salary negotiations
transparent and understandable to everyone.

Tools
like that will be very instrumental as remote work is becoming the norm and
will surely be a huge factor in global employment of the future.

Raising
Financial Awareness. 

The
introduction of the PPP Calculator is in line with Sharecirculate&#039;s overall
objective of raising financial literacy and awareness.

Most
people put great effort into investments in stocks and mutual funds; however,
the global perspective of one&#039;s own income is often overlooked.

Sharecirculate
seems to be broadening its scope by adding this useful tool to the personal
finance versus traditional investment spread.

The
platform already has an array of:

●       
Stock market calculators.

●       
Financial guides.

●       
Investment content.

The
placement of this new addition certainly strengthens its identification as a
veritable financial platform.

Expanding
its suite of Financial Calculators 

Besides
the Global PPP Calculator recently released, Sharecirculate has a lot in store
for investors who love the stock market and want to figure things out quickly.

The
instrument suite of calculators, comprising the stock average calculator,
stock loss recovery calculator, stock return calculator, and stock profit
calculator help users develop a well-rounded perspective of their investment
performance. The calculators give you an instant idea about the results,
returns, and losses, helping you make sound decisions.

With
a thorough collection of financial calculators, Sharecirculate is planning to
offer a platform that will allow its users to not only analyze global income
but also to manage and evaluate their stock market investments well.

The
Sharecirculate Viewpoint

Sharecirculate
founder Pavan Padghan commented on the launch:

&quot;We
are seeing a major shift in working methods and income generation. As global
openings lay bare, an understanding of the intrinsic value of a person&#039;s income
is vital. Our PPP Calculator aims to demystify such understanding and allow one
to make prudent financial and career decisions.&quot;

He
also stated: &quot;Our main objective is to make complicated financial matters
easy and handy to everyone. This solution is another tool going towards
empowering people with insights that they will be able to use in their daily
lives.&quot;

Upcoming
Plans

Sharecirculate
intends to continuously work on enhancing the PPP Calculator with the addition
of new features and broadening its scope.

The
forthcoming versions may feature: 1) a substantially larger number of countries
to be compared. 2) more detailed cost of living comparisons. 3) financial
insights tailored to each user. 4) linkage to other financial instruments
within the site.

The
enterprise deeply attaches itself to the spirit of innovation and focuses on
the delivery of user-friendly tools that help users navigate the challenging
aspects of the financial sector.

Summary

The
launch of the Advanced Global PPP Calculator for Indian professionals is just
one of Sharecirculate&#039;s many moves towards improving the fintech space.

This
product, which directly assists in solving the problems associated with salary
comparisons globally, is of great help to professionals who are considering
international careers.

We
know the physical boundaries of work and economics are a thing of the past.
Knowing the true purchasing power of a salary is a necessity today.
Sharecirculate&#039;s PPP Calculator provides users with a means of going beyond
mere currency conversions and focusing on elements that really count,
purchasing power and financial health.

With
this introduction, Sharecirculate reiterates its pledge to be a partner in the
financial decision-making of individuals and in helping them respond to the
changing global workforce dynamics.

<title>Rusan unveils APOSAN® 3ml Multi&#45;Dose Pen</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/rusan-unveils-aposan-3ml-multi-dose-pen</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/rusan-unveils-aposan-3ml-multi-dose-pen</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ~
First time in India : Rusan announces the launch of the Indigenously
Developed APOSAN® 3ml Pen for the Management of OFF Episodes in Patients
with Parkinson’s Disease~ 

Mumbai,
India | 31st March, 2026 : Rusan Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., the
marketing and distribution arm of Rusan Pharma Limited, an integrated global
pharmaceutical company, has announced the launch of the multi-dose delivery pen
device - APOSAN® 3ml Pen (Apomorphine Hydrochloride solution for injection
in cartridge)(10mg/ml)(3ml pre-filled cartridges) for treatment of motor
fluctuations commonly known as ‘ON-OFF’ episodes in patients suffering from
Parkinson’s disease (PD).

In
2018, Rusan was the first company in India to launch APOSAN® Apomorphine
Hydrochloride solution for injection (10mg/ml) (2ml and 5ml ampoules). Since
APOSAN®’s launch in India, Rusan has observed remarkable clinical impact and
consistently positive patient experiences, underscoring Apomorphine’s value as
a transformative option in Parkinson’s management.

The
company now offers the complete range of Apomorphine Hydrochloride in different
fill volumes namely - 2ml injection, 3ml in pre-filled cartridge with a
‘Multi-dose PEN device’ and 5ml for continuous ‘Infusion PUMPS’ to meet
distinct clinical scenarios in PD management, such as rapid rescue from OFF
episodes using PEN devices and sustained symptom control using infusion PUMPS.



PD
is estimated to affect nearly 10 to 11.7 million people globally, with India
accounting for a significant and growing share of the patient population.
However, the clinical perception is shifting: Early‑Onset Parkinson’s Disease
(EOPD), defined as diagnosis after the age of 20 years and before 50 years, now
represents a growing share of the global burden, with incidence and prevalence
tripling between 1990 and 2021, as reported in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery &amp; Psychiatry 2026. This clearly indicates
that Parkinson’s is not confined to older adults, and the changing age profile
emphasises the importance of increased awareness, early diagnosis and coverage,
to ensure that Parkinson’s care remains accessible across India

The
APOSAN® 3ml PEN offers a multi-dose, dial-a-dose mechanism with an enhanced
dose-visibility window, thereby enabling accurate and consistent dose
administration. The APOSAN® 3ml PEN reduces handling complexity, and supports
safer, more reliable self-administration reducing the risk of dosing errors. The APOSAN® 3ml PEN device’s lightweight, portable
design enables convenient, dependable subcutaneous administration at home,
empowering patients to manage their therapy promptly. 

Commenting
on the launch, Ms Malavika Kaura Saxena, Chief Marketing Officer, Rusan
Healthcare, stated, “The APOSAN® 3 ml PEN is a major step forward,
offering a portable, multi-use system for reliable apomorphine delivery.
Complementing this innovation, the APOSAN® HOPE Program
provides structured onboarding, guided
support, and patient-centric services that make advanced rescue therapy easier
to adopt and sustain. By simplifying training, coordination, and day-to-day
therapy management, the APOSAN® HOPE Program helps patients and families use
the therapy with confidence and continuity.”

Also,
commenting on the launch, Dr. Kunal Saxena, Managing Director, Rusan
Pharma Limited, stated, “The launch of APOSAN® 3ml Pen reflects Rusan’s
focused commitment to advancing Parkinson’s care through accessible and
scalable treatment solutions. A defining strength of the brand is Rusan’s fully
integrated manufacturing model. By producing the API internally at its USFDA
&amp; EU GMP accredited facility, the company upholds rigorous quality governance,
reduces reliance on external suppliers, and secures a consistent,
high-integrity supply chain for this critical therapeutic product. Through
innovations like APOSAN® 3ml PEN, we aim to empower patients and caregivers
while continuing to expand access to advanced Parkinson’s care across India.”

ABOUT
APOSAN® HOPE PROGRAM

APOSAN®’s
advanced delivery ecosystem is supported by the APOSAN® HOPE Program. Managed
by Rusan Healthcare, the initiative is designed to equip healthcare
professionals, patients, and caregivers with the training and resources needed
to optimise treatment outcomes for managing OFF episodes. https://aposanhopeprogram.com/

<title>Sahyadris to Sri Lanka: TrekPanda Marks 5,000 Tours Milestone, Launches International Packages in Six Countries</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/sahyadris-to-sri-lanka-trekpanda-marks-5000-tours-milestone-launches-international-packages-in-six-countries</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sahyadris-to-sri-lanka-trekpanda-marks-5000-tours-milestone-launches-international-packages-in-six-countries</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ TrekPanda,
the community-driven adventure travel company founded in Pune in 2017, has
completed 5,000 tours since its inception. Alongside this, the company has
announced its entry into international travel with curated group tour packages
across six countries. Countries like Sri Lanka, Bali, Vietnam, Thailand,
Georgia and Dubai. The expansion marks TrekPanda’s transition from a regional
trekking outfit into a full-service travel company with global reach. 

The Journey From
Sahayadri Trails To 5,000 Tours

TrekPanda
started out organising weekend hikes in the Sahyadri ranges around Pune and
Mumbai. Back in 2017, co-founders Sunny Chordiya and Pushkar Bhandari pooled
together limited sources and shared their love of the outdoors to build what
they called “India’s coolest travel community.” The early days were scrappy
with small groups, word-of-mouth bookings and treks led by the founders
themselves. There was no app, no office and certainly no plans for international
expansion.

What
kept the company going was a growing list of repeat travellers who came back
because the trips felt personal, unscripted and genuinely fun. From those
weekend Sahyadri treks, the company gradually expanded into Himalayan treks
like Brahmatal, Har ki Dun and Kedarkanta. Then to backpacking trips to Ladakh,
Spiti, and the Northeast, followed by southern circuits through Coorg,
Hampi-Gokarna and Kerala. A corporate travel vertical also took shape, running
team-building retreats and offsite adventures. Today, TrekPanda operates
departures across more than 50 domestic destinations and runs multiple batches
per week during peak season. 

Where is TrekPanda Is
Heading Next?

A
simple observation drove the decision to go international, as TrekPanda’s existing
customers were asking for it. Many of the young professionals and solo
travellers who had done three or four domestic trips wanted to explore abroad.
Still, they didn&#039;t want to plan it themselves or travel with large, impersonal
tour operators. They wanted the same community-first, small-group experience
just in a different country. 

The
company chose six international destinations based on visa accessibility for
Indian passport holders, affordability and demand from TrekPand’s traveler
base. Sri Lanka offers beaches, temples and wildlife within a compact
geography. Vietnam covers everything from Hanoi’s street food culture to the
beaches of Da Nang. Bali appeals to the adventure and wellness crowd. Thailand
remains a perennial favourite for first-time international travelers. Georgia
is an offbeat pick with affordability, visa-free for indians, and rich in
mountain landscape. And Dubai rounds out the list as a perfect short-haul high
comfort option. 

TrekPanda’s
international packages follow the same model that worked domestically.
End-to-end planning, small groups, a dedicated trip leader and a focus on local
experiences over tourist traps. Pricing is positioned as budget-to-mid range,
targeting working professionals in their twenties and thirties. Early packages
for Vietnam, for example, start at around INR 35,000-40,000 for a week-long
trip, excluding international airfare. 

What The Founders Have
To Say 

Speaking
about the milestone and the new launches, Sunny Chordiya, Co-Founder,
TrekPanda, said, “When we started in 2017, the idea was simple: to take people
on treks in the Sahyadris and make sure everyone had a good time. We never
planned to become a 5,000-tour company or an international travel brand. But
our travelers pushed us to grow. The 5K milestone is really their achievement.
And the international expansion is our way to say yes to what they have been
asking for.”

On
the operational side, TrekPanda has partnered with local operators and ground
handlers in each of the six countries. The company has trained its trip leaders
for international group management, covering foreign exchange handling, local
emergency protocols and cultural briefings. For Vietnam and Thailand, TrekPand
ran pilot batches in late 2025 using feedback to refine itineraries before the
full commercial launch. 

Pushkar
Bhandari, Co-Founder, TrekPanda, added, “Our domestic business is strong and
growing. We are not moving away from treks, as Sahyadri treks will always be
part of who we are. But the market has changed, and our travelers have evolved.
A person who did their first Rajmachi trek with us three years ago is now ready
for Bali or Georgia. We want to be the company that grows with them.”

The Road Ahead for
TrekPanda

The
move comes at a time when outbound travel from India is growing rapidly. Indian
travelers took over 28 million international trips in 2024, according to
industry estimates, and that number continues to climb as passport penetration
increases and low-cost international airlines expand their networks. Looking
ahead, TrekPanda plans to add more international destinations in the second
half of 2026 with early interest in Nepal, Cambodia, Azerbaijan and Turkey. The
company is also exploring a membership programme for repeat travelers offering
early access to new trips and preferential pricing. On the domestic front,
TrekPanda intends to deepen its presence in the Northeast and expand its
corporate travel business. 

TrekPanda
currently operates out of Pune, with trip leaders and operations staff based in
Bangalore, Mumbai, Rishikesh, Manali and Gurugram. The company caters to solo
travelers, friend groups, couples and corporate teams and has built a
reputation for eco-friendly travel practices and encourages travellers to
minimize waste on trails and respect local communities. You can book any trip
through TrekPanda’s website at https://trekpanda.in/  or through its social media channels. ]]></description>

CSA score of 79/100

●       
India&#039;s highest-rated bank by S&amp;P Global

Mumbai,
March 30, 2026: YES BANK has reinforced its position as

the S&amp;P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) 2025, emerging as
India&#039;s highest-rated bank in the assessment, with a seven-point improvement
from the previous year.

This
milestone marks YES BANK&#039;s fourth consecutive year of inclusion in the
prestigious S&amp;P Global Sustainability Yearbook, placing it among the top
15% of global banking leaders in the 2026 edition. Out of over 9,200 companies
assessed globally across 59 industries, only 848 top-performing organizations
earned inclusion in the yearbook – making this distinction particularly
significant. YES BANK stands as the sole Indian bank among 76 high-scoring
Indian companies to achieve this recognition.

The
S&amp;P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment evaluates up to 1,000 data
points across critical ESG factors including Climate Strategy, Operational
Eco-Efficiency, Financial Inclusion, Human Capital Development, Human Rights,
Corporate Governance, and Risk Management. YES BANK&#039;s CSA and ESG scores of 79
reflect its comprehensive approach to environmental, social, and governance
(ESG) excellence.

progress on our journey toward net-zero operations by 2030, we remain focused
on delivering positive outcomes for our stakeholders, communities, and the
environment.”

YES

The Bank has been included in the FTSE4Good Index Series for the third
consecutive year (2025). Additionally, YES BANK maintains its ISS ESG &#039;Prime&#039;
Status and remains the only Indian bank with this rating, reflecting superior
sustainability performance. The bank&#039;s comprehensive ESG strategy encompasses
ambitious climate commitments, including achieving net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2
emissions by 2030. As the first Indian bank to disclose financed emissions for
its electricity generation loan exposure, YES BANK has aligned its targets with
a well-below 2°C decarbonization scenario.

the social front, YES BANK has empowered 6.49 lakh active women customers in
rural India through YES LEAP, the bank&#039;s flagship group-lending program. The

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

<title>Geri Care opens its 12th centre in India with New Skilled Nursing Facility for Senior Citizens in Sarjapur, Bengaluru</title>

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

<title>Skill Education vs Traditional Degrees: What Will Matter More by 2030?</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/skill-education-vs-traditional-degrees-what-will-matter-more-by-2030</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/skill-education-vs-traditional-degrees-what-will-matter-more-by-2030</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

For
decades, higher education has followed a repetitive structure: attending
classes, earning a degree, and then stepping into the workforce. While this
model has shaped generations of professionals, the world is evolving at a rapid
pace that traditional education systems cannot adapt to. By 2030, the
discussion about employment potential may shift dramatically, from the value of
a degree and marks in exams to the relevance of real-world skills such as
creative thinking that can solve real-world problems, collaboration with teams,
and communication skills.

Across
industries, employers are increasingly looking for professionals who can
contribute from day one. Orchid understands that practical knowledge,
adaptability, and hands-on experience are becoming more important than
theoretical understanding alone. As a result, skill-based education is
emerging as one of the most important forces shaping the future of higher
learning. 

The Limits of Traditional Degrees

Traditional
degree programs have long been valued for their academic rigor and structured
learning, providing students with foundational knowledge in science and
technology and the arts.

However,
the demands of modern industries are evolving rapidly. Many graduates enter the
job market with strong theoretical knowledge but limited exposure to real-world
challenges. Employers often invest additional months or even years training new
hires before they become fully productive.

This
gap between education and employability has become a growing concern, as industries
become more technology-driven and innovation-focused, the ability to apply
knowledge practically has become just as important as acquiring it.

Recognizing
this shift, Orchid University, supported by Distil Group, is exploring
new education models that combine academic learning with real-world industry
exposure.

Why
Skill-Based Education Is Gaining Momentum

Skill-based education
focuses on preparing students for the realities of the workplace. Instead of
relying solely on classroom learning, it combines academic understanding with
practical application, project-based learning, and industry exposure.

Globally,
many education systems are moving toward this approach. Countries with strong
apprenticeship cultures have demonstrated that when students gain real work
experience during their education, they enter the workforce more confidently
and contribute more effectively.

In
India, where millions of students graduate every year, the conversation around
employability is becoming more urgent. As the economy evolves and new
industries emerge, institutions are increasingly recognizing the importance of
equipping students with skills that align with industry needs.

This
is where institutions such as Orchid University, backed by Distil Group,
are positioning themselves differently by emphasizing skill development, career
readiness, and real industry engagement as core components of higher education.

The
Learn &amp; Earn Revolution 

One of the most
promising developments in education is the Learn &amp; Earn model.
Instead of waiting until graduation to enter the workforce, students gain
professional exposure while they are still studying.

This
approach transforms the learning experience in several ways. Students not only
understand theoretical concepts but also see how those ideas function in real
business environments. They work on real projects, interact with professionals,
and develop practical skills that cannot be learned through textbooks alone.

At Orchid
University, this philosophy forms the foundation of its academic approach.
Supported by the vision of Distil Group, the institution is exploring how
students can integrate academic learning with professional experience through
structured Learn &amp; Earn opportunities.

Day
One Stipend: Rethinking the Student Journey

A
growing number of forward-thinking institutions are experimenting with day-one
stipend models, where students begin earning from the start of their
educational journey. This concept reflects a major shift in the philosophy of
higher education. Instead of viewing students only as learners, institutions
recognize them as emerging professionals who can contribute meaningfully even
during their training.

At Orchid
University, this approach is being explored through programs that allow
students to gain real-world experience while receiving financial support during
their learning journey. The benefits extend beyond financial support, as
students who earn while learning often develop stronger work ethics, better
time management skills, and a deeper understanding of how industries operate.

By
the time they graduate, they are not simply degree holders; they are
experienced professionals ready to take on real responsibilities.

Intergenerational,
Skill-Based, Value-Driven Learning 

Education has always
been one of the most powerful drivers of social mobility. When students gain
practical skills and meaningful employment opportunities, the impact often
extends far beyond individual success.

At Orchid
University, supported by Distil Group, the vision goes beyond
employability. The institution promotes an intergenerational, skill-based,
and value-driven approach to education, where learning equips students not
only with professional skills but also with the values needed to contribute positively
to society.

By
focusing on practical capability, ethical leadership, and long-term career
development, the model aims to create graduates who are prepared to shape
industries and uplift communities.

A
New Vision for Higher Education 

As the global workforce
continues to evolve, higher education institutions are being challenged to
rethink their purpose. Preparing students for examinations is no longer enough;
the goal must be to prepare them for meaningful careers. Through initiatives
supported by Distil Group, Orchid

represents
a growing movement within education that prioritizes skill development,
industry integration, and career-focused learning.

By
combining academic foundations with hands-on experience and Learn &amp; Earn
opportunities, Orchid aims to create an ecosystem where students can develop
both professionally and personally.

Looking
Toward 2030 

By the end of this
decade, the question is not raised about whether skills matter more than
degrees. Instead, the focus will likely shift to how education systems can
combine both effectively.

Institutions
like Orchid University, with the support of Distil Group, are already
experimenting with this balance, bringing together academic learning,
skill-based training, and real-world industry engagement. As industries demand
professionals who can adapt, innovate, and contribute from day one, the future
of education will likely belong to models that combine knowledge, skills, and
experience.

By
2030, the most successful graduates may not simply be those who hold degrees
but those who graduate with the skills, exposure, and confidence to lead the
future.

<description><![CDATA[ The
holiday season often brings financial reflection. Recent surveys
indicate that 68% of Indians are actively seeking ways to optimise their
spending. This holiday period presents an opportunity to reassess essential
expenses, particularly in crucial areas like car insurance.

&quot;Smart
financial planning isn&#039;t about cutting corners — it&#039;s about making informed
choices that protect your assets and budget,&quot; - Mallikarjun Mallannavar,
Chief Claims Officer at Royal Sundaram

prioritises and assists its customers when required.

&quot;We&#039;ve
witnessed a significant shift in how consumers approach insurance. The focus
has moved from mere cost-cutting to value optimisation,&quot; - Mallikarjun
Mallannavar, Chief Claims Officer at Royal Sundaram

Royal
Sundaram&#039;s digital infrastructure transforms the insurance experience into a
seamless journey. The intuitive premium calculator provides instant quotes,
while the online portal offers real-time claim tracking and document access.
This digital-first approach enhances convenience and translates to additional
savings through reduced processing costs.

industry analysis shows motor insurance premiums rising by 3.9% annually,
making strategic coverage selection increasingly crucial. Royal Sundaram
addresses this challenge by offering customisable policies and hassle-free
claims processing, providing protection and predictability in your financial
planning.

By

selecting an insurance provider but partnering with a financially committed to

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

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

ritual gifting brand, founded in 2025 and headquartered in Noida, Uttar
Pradesh. The company is building a new D2C category - ritual gifting - defined
as gifting designed to sustain long-term relationships through consistent,
intentional daily practice. Its debut collection, The Us, Everyday Collection

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

<title>Genius30 Releases &amp;apos;Raijor Raai&amp;apos; Mega&#45;Survey: Data from 50,000+ Citizens for upcoming Assam Polls</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/genius30-releases-raijor-raai-mega-survey-data-from-50000-citizens-for-upcoming-assam-polls</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/genius30-releases-raijor-raai-mega-survey-data-from-50000-citizens-for-upcoming-assam-polls</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  


 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
 

 


GUWAHATI, ASSAM — March 30, 2026 : Genius30,
an independent think-tank and data-analytics group, has officially released the
comprehensive findings of its highly anticipated &quot;Raijor Raai - The
People’s Verdict&quot; pre-poll survey. Leveraging a massive, tech-driven
sample size of over 50,000+ verified respondents across all 126 assembly
constituencies, the extensive data audit projects a decisive mandate for the
BJP-led NDA alliance in the upcoming Assam elections.

 

A Tech-Driven Methodology

Unlike traditional political surveys
that rely on small, manual field reporting, the Raijor Raai project was
executed as a large-scale engineering operation. Spearheaded by a core group of
30 engineers, Genius30 utilized advanced telephonic polling and digital
auditing infrastructure to capture raw, unfiltered sentiment directly from the
grassroots.

 

By scaling the data collection to
over 50,000 citizens across Upper, Lower, and Middle Assam, the team bypassed
standard polling biases to ensure a highly accurate mathematical reflection of
the state&#039;s current political mood. The methodology heavily factored in
shifting demographics, particularly the decisive youth and Gen Z voter blocks
who are increasingly prioritizing economic stability, technological upskilling,
and transparent governance over historical political rhetoric.

 

Key Findings of the Comprehensive Survey:

Seat Projections (126 Seats): The BJP
is projected to emerge as the single largest party, securing between 70 to 79
seats. The Congress follows with a projected 24 to 29 seats. Regional allies
AGP (8-9 seats) and BPF (7-8 seats) maintain crucial holds, pushing the NDA
alliance comfortably past the 64-seat majority mark.

 

Vote Share: The data indicates a
strong consolidation, with the BJP commanding an estimated 40.2% vote share,
and the Congress capturing 36.8%.

 

Chief Ministerial Preference:
Incumbent Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma remains the top choice for the
state&#039;s leadership, securing 37% of the public preference. Gaurav Gogoi of the
Congress emerged as the principal challenger with 25% backing.

 

Top Government Achievements: When
asked to identify the biggest successes of the current government, citizens
overwhelmingly pointed to tangible, on-the-ground progress. Infrastructure and
Road Connectivity took the top spot at 26%, followed closely by Transparent
Govt Employment at 23%. Other key performance indicators included Clearing
Encroachments (18%), Governance (17%), and Ease of Doing Business (16%).

 

&quot;What this data clearly shows is
a fundamental shift in how the Assamese electorate, particularly the younger
generation, is making its choices,&quot; stated Nitesh Pandey, Tech
Entrepreneur and Co-lead of Genius30. &quot;We are seeing a demographic that is
highly focused on practical, day-to-day realities. They are actively backing
narratives built around transparent recruitment, physical infrastructure, and
assertive administrative leadership. This massive 50,000+ dataset confirms that
the mandate is leaning heavily toward data-driven, delivery-focused
governance.&quot;

 

&quot;By treating this statewide
survey as an engineering challenge rather than just a media exercise, we&#039;ve
bypassed the noise to provide an unfiltered, mathematical reality of the ground
situation,&quot; added Rajat Agnihotri, Co-lead of Genius30.

 

About Genius30

Based in Guwahati, Genius30 is an
independent collective of 30 engineers and data professionals dedicated to
bringing technological transparency to political analytics and public policy.
Combining extensive backgrounds in tech entrepreneurship, large-scale project
development, and digital education, the group focuses on executing data-driven
grassroots audits that capture the authentic voice of the people. ]]></description>

<title>Distil Group&amp;apos;s ₹100 Crore Bet on Skill&#45;Based Higher Education</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/distil-groups-100-crore-bet-on-skill-based-higher-education</link>

<description><![CDATA[  

For
years, degrees and marks were considered the ultimate markers of success, but
now the situation is entirely different. Academic scores alone are no longer
sufficient to guarantee employability, and many talented students find
themselves struggling to translate ambition into opportunity.

 

Orchid
University aims to change this reality. Backed by Distil Group&#039;s transformative
vision and a ₹100 crore investment, the university is built around a clear and
powerful belief that education should not be limited to academic excellence;
rather, it should enable economic independence and ethical leadership.

 

Institutions
do not impact only students; they also become engines of regional growth. They
create employment opportunities, encourage local businesses, and bring industry
partnerships into the region. Orchid University is positioned to strengthen
both its campus and the surrounding communities.

 

What Are Skill-Centered Universities

 

For
decades, universities evaluated success through examinations, classroom attendance,
and academic credits. However, in today&#039;s world, knowledge extends far beyond
academic excellence, as the modern workforce demands individuals with
analytical thinking, communication skills, adaptability, and the ability to
solve real-world problems.

 

Skill-based universities are designed to meet these expectations. To
achieve these goals, their learning models focus on the following:

 

●
Industry immersion from the first year 

●
Apprenticeship-integrated degree pathways 

●
Project-based learning 

● Paid
internships and stipends 

●
Real-world exposure alongside academic theory

 

In
this system, the conversation changes. Instead of asking, “What degree do you
hold?”employers increasingly ask, “What can you actually do?”

 

With
the support of Distil Group, Orchid University has fully embraced this shift,
designing its programs to combine industry-aligned learning with the broader
goals of NEP 2020, while remaining firmly rooted in Indian values and cultural
understanding.

 

Understanding Orchid University

 

Orchid
University was envisioned by founders who understand struggle not as an
abstract concept, but as a lived experience. With this perspective, they have
shaped an institution where every student’s ambition is respected and
supported.

 

This
vision has been strengthened through Distil Group&#039;s strategic backing,
including thoughtful infrastructure development, academic innovation, and
long-term planning.

 

At
Orchid University, education goes beyond technical mastery. Students are
encouraged to grow professionally while remaining grounded in ethics, culture,
and responsibility. Distil Group’s ₹100 crore investment is not merely about
constructing classrooms; it is about creating an ecosystem that builds
confidence, independence, and leadership in the next generation.

 

Why Investing in Skills Is Investing in India

 

India
has one of the youngest populations in the world, and this demographic strength
can become a powerful economic engine—but only if the education system equips
young people with the right skills.

 

Distil Group’s investment in a skill-based university contributes
directly to:

 

●
Stronger youth employability 

●
Higher industry productivity 

●
Greater entrepreneurial activity 

●
Long-term economic independence

 

The ₹100 crore investment in Orchid University is directed toward
building a future-ready academic ecosystem that includes:

 

●
Industry-ready laboratories 

●
Technology-enabled learning environments 

●
Global academic collaborations 

●
Student incubation and innovation centres 

●
Employment-integrated academic pathways

 

When
students begin earning while they are still learning, education transforms from
a financial burden into a pathway toward independence.

 

From Capital to Campus Impact

 

Distil
Group has channelled its ₹100 crore investment into initiatives that directly
improve the learning experience and career readiness of students.

 

1.
Learning Spaces That Mirror the Real World At Orchid University, classrooms are
designed to reflect professional environments, making learning more engaging.
Advanced simulation labs, sector-specific training centres, and smart,
technology-enabled classrooms allow students to practice using the same tools
and systems used in industry.

 

This
significantly reduces the gap between theoretical learning and real-world
execution. By the time students graduate, they are already comfortable
operating in professional environments.

 

2.
Industry at the Heart of the Curriculum Orchid’s curriculum is shaped in
collaboration with employers and global experts, supported by more than 800
industry partners and collaborations across 10+ countries.

 

This
approach ensures that programs evolve in line with industry needs, emerging
technologies, and global market demands. Orchid integrates guest lectures, live
projects, and apprenticeship opportunities to keep learning relevant and
future-focused.

 

3.
Earn While You Learn Pathways Financial independence is integrated into the
academic journey. Orchid offers internships, apprenticeship-based modules, and
stipend-supported training, enabling students to gain practical exposure while
earning during their studies.

 

This
approach not only eases financial pressure but also helps students develop
responsibility, confidence, and a strong understanding of workplace
expectations.

 

4.
An Intergenerational Campus Model Orchid University’s campus includes an
orphanage and an old-age home, creating a unique intergenerational learning
environment. Students interact with individuals from different generations and
life experiences, fostering empathy, emotional intelligence, and a deeper sense
of social responsibility.

 

Education
here is not just about skill; it is also about shaping character.

 

5.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship Support The university places strong emphasis
on innovation through incubation centres, mentorship from industry experts, and
access to advanced labs. Students are encouraged to develop their own ideas and
ventures, enabling them to think independently and creatively.

 

The
goal is to nurture graduates who can build businesses, generate employment, and
contribute actively to economic growth.

 

The Real Impact: Who This Investment Empowers

 

Students
Students gain knowledge that extends beyond academics. By the time they
complete their programs, they have experience working on live projects,
training in industry-aligned labs, and exposure to real professional
environments.

 

Many
students also earn stipends during internships, helping them build financial
confidence early in their careers.

Families
For many Indian families, higher education represents both hope and financial
sacrifice.

 

Distil
Group’s skill-integrated, earn-while-you-learn model transforms this equation.
Families begin to see tangible progress—internships, stipends, and career
development—well before graduation.

 

Industry
Companies often invest significant time and resources in training fresh
graduates. Skill-based education helps bridge this gap. Graduates from Orchid
University enter the workforce with practical knowledge of workplace culture,
collaboration, deadlines, and industry tools, enabling them to become productive
more quickly.

 

Society
When education blends technical competence with strong values, its impact
extends beyond employment. Graduates are more likely to innovate responsibly,
lead ethically, and contribute positively to society.

 

Economic Ripple Effect on the Surrounding Community

 

The
influence of a university like Orchid extends beyond the campus. As students,
faculty, and industry professionals move into the region, demand increases for
housing, transportation, retail, and other services. This creates opportunities
for local businesses and entrepreneurs.

At
the same time, apprenticeship programs and industry collaborations open
pathways for local youth to access training and career opportunities that may
not have existed before. Over time, this leads to a stronger local ecosystem
where education, employment, and entrepreneurship grow together.

 

Distil
Group&#039;s investment in Orchid University strengthens not only higher education
but also the surrounding community, generating growth that benefits both the
institution and the region.

The
Road Ahead

 

As
industries evolve and global competition increases, India’s higher education
system must move beyond traditional academic models.

 

Skill-based
universities are not just an emerging trend; they are becoming a necessity.
Through Distil Group&#039;s strategic investment, strong industry integration, and
compassion-driven campus model, Orchid University is positioning itself as more
than just an educational institution—it is becoming a catalyst for meaningful
transformation.

<title>SuperGrads by Toprankers on Why IPMAT Preparation Differs from Other Management Entrances</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/supergrads-by-toprankers-on-why-ipmat-preparation-differs-from-other-management-entrances</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/supergrads-by-toprankers-on-why-ipmat-preparation-differs-from-other-management-entrances</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A growing number of management aspirants are asking
one question early in Class 11 or 12: How is IPMAT different from CUET/CAT?
According to mentors at SuperGrads by Toprankers, the
answer begins with a simple distinction. IPMAT is not just another management
entrance. It is an exam built for students right after school, and that changes
both the academic demand and the preparation style. 

 

For many aspirants, the confusion is understandable.
On the surface, IPMAT, CUET and CAT all appear to belong to the same larger
world of aptitude-based entrances. They involve reasoning, quantitative skills,
English, and test-taking discipline. But the student profile, exam purpose, and
level of maturity expected in each paper are very different. That is why SuperGrads
says students should stop treating IPMAT as a smaller version of CAT or a
management add-on to CUET. 

 

Why IPMAT Sits in a Different Category 

IPMAT is the gateway to the five-year Integrated
Programme in Management. At IIM Indore, the official admission procedure for
the 2026-31 batch says candidates should have passed Class 12 in 2024 or
2025 or be appearing in 2026. The same official programme page says
the sanctioned intake for the domestic IPM batch is 150 seats. 

 

That alone makes IPMAT different from CAT. 

CAT is a postgraduate entrance. The official
CAT 2025 advertisement states that CAT is a prerequisite for admission to postgraduate
and fellow/doctorate programmes of the IIMs and that it is conducted as a computer-based
test in three sessions.  

So, the first answer to the core query is direct. IPMAT
is different from CAT because IPMAT is meant for students after Class 12, while
CAT is meant for graduates aiming for MBA-level admissions. 

 

How IPMAT Is Different from CUET 

The difference between IPMAT and CUET is also
important. 

CUET is a broader undergraduate admissions framework.
NTA says CUET scores are used for admission into undergraduate programmes
across central and participating universities across the country. The CUET
portal also makes it clear that applicants must choose subjects based on the
eligibility conditions of the university and programme they want to
target.  

 

IPMAT is much narrower and more specialised. It is not
a common university entry system. It is a focused aptitude test for
management-oriented integrated programmes. IIM Indore’s official IPM page says
the entrance examination tests aptitude, logical reasoning, and proficiency in
English and Mathematics.  

 

So, the second answer to the core query is equally
clear. IPMAT is different from CUET because CUET is a broad UG admissions
route across many universities and programmes, while IPMAT is a specialised
management entrance for integrated management programmes.  

 

The Preparation Mindset Is Not the Same 

This is where many students make their first serious
mistake. 

Students often assume that because IPMAT is attempted
after school, it must be easier than CAT. Or they assume that because CUET also
serves undergraduate admissions, the same preparation model will work for both.
According to SuperGrads by Toprankers, both assumptions are misleading. 

 

IPMAT preparation is not only about solving aptitude
questions. It is about preparing a younger student for a competitive exam that
demands academic flexibility early. A Class 12 student is balancing board
pressure, career uncertainty, and aptitude-building at the same time. A CAT
aspirant is usually older, more academically mature, and already working within
a graduation or work-experience framework. The preparation pressure is
different even before the first mock test begins. 

 

What the Exam Structure Tells Students 

The structure of the exams also explains why
preparation styles differ. 

IIM Rohtak’s official IPM admission policy for 2026-31
says admission can happen through IPM Aptitude Test 2026 or CLAT 2026,
followed by later stages in the process. IIM Indore separately runs its own IPM
admission route and has announced that IPM AT 2026 will be conducted on May
4, 2026.  

 

That means even within the IPM ecosystem, students
must understand that institutes may use different pathways. This makes
preparation more targeted than general. 

 

By contrast, CAT is a national test held in three
sessions for postgraduate admissions. CUET allows students to choose
subject combinations and apply to different universities based on programme
requirements. These are structurally different ecosystems.  

 

Why IPMAT Needs Earlier Skill Building 

According to SuperGrads, one of the biggest
differences is timing. 

CAT aspirants usually begin serious preparation during
college or after graduation. They often have more time to absorb abstract
quantitative concepts, improve reading discipline, and develop test temperament
over a longer adult learning curve. 

 

IPMAT aspirants do not have that luxury. They are
often 16 to 18 years old. They are building reasoning ability, vocabulary, reading
speed, and maths confidence while also navigating school studies. That means
IPMAT preparation must begin earlier and become structured sooner. 

 

This is why IPMAT preparation usually places greater
emphasis on: 

·      
building
aptitude fundamentals from scratch 

·      
strengthening
school-level maths speed and clarity 

·      
improving
reading habits at a younger stage 

·      
developing
test discipline alongside board preparation 

·      
introducing
mock pressure gradually, not abruptly 

 

The Role of Verbal and Quant Preparation 

The verbal and quantitative demands may look familiar
across exams, but the way students experience them is not the same. 

 

In IPMAT, a student is still transitioning from
school-style learning to competitive aptitude-based problem solving. The
challenge is not just difficulty. It is adaptability. Students must learn how
to read for inference, solve under time pressure, and shift from chapter-based
comfort zones to mixed-question uncertainty. 

 

In CAT, the challenge is different. The official
nature of the exam itself tells the story. It is designed for postgraduate
management entry and draws from a much older candidate pool. 

 

So, while both exams require quant and verbal ability,
IPMAT preparation is more developmental, while CAT preparation is more performance
optimised. That is a major difference. 

 

Can One Student Prepare for IPMAT and
CAT-Type Aptitude Together? 

This is where the audience of both IPMAT and CAT
aspirants needs clarity. 

Yes, there is overlap in certain skills. Reading
comprehension, arithmetic discipline, logical thinking, and mock analysis
matter in both spaces. But that does not mean the preparation journey is
interchangeable. 

 

A Class 12 student preparing for IPMAT should not
borrow a graduate-level CAT mindset blindly. A CAT aspirant should not
underestimate how specific and early-stage IPMAT aptitude-building can be. The
common skills overlap. The preparation psychology does not. 

 

A Practical Answer to “How Is IPMAT
Different from CUET/CAT?” 

According to SuperGrads, aspirants should
remember three practical distinctions. 

1. The entry stage is different 

IPMAT is for students just after school. CAT is for
graduates. CUET is a broad UG entrance route across many programmes and
universities.  

2. The target is different 

IPMAT is focused on integrated management programmes.
CAT is for postgraduate management admissions. CUET is not management-specific
by design.  

3. The preparation maturity is different 

IPMAT students are usually building aptitude habits
early. CAT aspirants are refining them later. CUET aspirants often work through
a wider programme and subject-selection lens. 

 

Why the Comparison Still Matters 

Even with these differences, the comparison is useful.
It helps students avoid the wrong preparation model. 

 

Many aspirants lose months because they prepare for
IPMAT as if it were just board-level plus aptitude. Others prepare for it as if
it were a mini-CAT. Both approaches can create gaps. One underestimates the
exam. The other misunderstands the candidate stage. 

 

The stronger approach is to recognise IPMAT on its own
terms. It is an early management entrance with its own pressure points, its own
learning curve, and its own rhythm of preparation. 

 

The Takeaway for Aspirants 

The message from SuperGrads by Toprankers is
simple. IPMAT is connected to the larger management entrance ecosystem, but it
is not a copy of CUET or CAT. 

 

It asks a younger student to show aptitude, reading
ability, mathematical comfort, and decision-making earlier than most other
management pathways demand. That is why the preparation plan must also be
different. 

 

For aspirants asking, “How is IPMAT different from
CUET/CAT?”, the answer is this: IPMAT is earlier, more specialised, and
development heavy. CUET is broader. CAT is later and postgraduate. The overlap
is real, but the preparation model cannot be the same.   ]]></description>

<title>Integrated Zero&#45;Waste Technology Framework at RGIPT</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/integrated-zero-waste-technology-framework-at-rgipt</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/integrated-zero-waste-technology-framework-at-rgipt</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Transforming waste into valuable resources is no longer a
conceptual aspiration but a practical reality at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of
Petroleum Technology (RGIPT). The institute has emerged as a pioneering model
for integrated waste management and circular economy implementation, where
multiple waste streams are systematically converted into energy, materials, and
reusable resources. This transformation has been driven by the vision and
leadership of Prof. Harish Hirani, whose extensive experience in sustainable
technologies and large-scale waste management has enabled the development of a
campus-wide, practice-oriented ecosystem. Building upon his earlier
contributions at CSIR-CMERI, the initiatives at RGIPT demonstrate how academic
institutions can evolve into living laboratories, seamlessly integrating
research, technology deployment, and real-world applications in sustainability.


A central pillar of this transformation is the development
of an integrated zero-waste ecosystem at RGIPT, designed around a closed-loop
resource recovery approach. Unlike conventional waste management practices that
treat waste streams in isolation, the RGIPT model interconnects multiple
streams to maximize resource efficiency and minimize environmental impact.
Wastewater generated on campus is treated through a sewage treatment system and
reused for non-potable applications, including aquaculture, thereby creating a
sustainable water cycle. Organic waste is processed through anaerobic digestion
to generate biogas, contributing to renewable energy production. At the same
time, plastic waste is systematically repurposed into functional and durable
products, reducing landfill dependency and environmental burden. Together, these
interventions demonstrate a practical and scalable framework for transitioning
towards a circular and resource-efficient campus. 

In addition to
core waste-to-resource pathways, RGIPT has incorporated advanced technologies
such as biochar production and membrane-based treatment systems to enhance both
carbon management and water purification. These innovations enable carbon
capture through biochar applications and improve the efficiency of wastewater
treatment, adding a climate-responsive dimension to the overall waste
management strategy. By integrating such emerging technologies, the system
extends beyond conventional waste handling to address broader environmental
challenges, including emissions reduction and resource conservation.

The broader
objective is to position RGIPT as a model institution for circular economy
implementation, where waste is consistently treated as a valuable resource and
reintegrated into productive use with minimal environmental impact. This
approach uniquely combines research, technology deployment, and institutional
practices, effectively bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and
real-world application. It demonstrates how academic campuses can function as
scalable testbeds for sustainable solutions with national relevance. 

Looking ahead,
the focus at RGIPT is on scaling and optimizing the integrated zero-waste
systems to achieve a fully self-sustained campus. This includes expanding
waste-to-energy pathways, strengthening advanced material recovery processes, enhancing
water reuse networks, and incorporating efficient carbon management
technologies. The objective is to improve system efficiency, increase resource
recovery, and develop a robust, self-reliant model that can be replicated
across other institutions and urban settings.

These efforts
will culminate in the observance of International Zero Waste Day on 30th March,
during which the institute will showcase its integrated waste management
technologies. The occasion will serve as a platform to demonstrate RGIPT’s
commitment to sustainable practices and circular economy principles through
live demonstrations of its campus-scale systems, highlighting their potential
for broader societal adoption.

The technological framework at RGIPT is grounded in the
principles of a circular bioeconomy, wherein waste streams are systematically
interconnected to enable continuous resource recovery. Rather than treating
waste in isolated silos, the approach links energy, water, materials, and
nutrient cycles into a unified system. This integrated model ensures that
outputs from one process serve as inputs for another, thereby maximizing
efficiency and minimizing environmental losses. By embedding such
interdependencies, the framework establishes a self-sustaining pathway for waste
utilization while contributing to long-term ecological balance and resource
conservation.

At the core of
this framework is the circular bioeconomy system that links organic waste
management with energy generation and agricultural applications. Organic and
food waste generated on campus are processed through anaerobic digestion to
produce biogas, serving as a renewable energy source. The residual digestate is
further converted into value-added products such as vermicompost, pelletized
manure, and nutrient-rich soil conditioners. These outputs are utilized in
agricultural applications, enhancing soil fertility and supporting sustainable
crop production. This integrated pathway not only ensures efficient utilization
of organic waste but also closes the nutrient loop, reducing dependence on
external inputs and promoting a more resilient and sustainable ecosystem.

A key challenge in biogas utilization is the presence of
carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other impurities, which reduce
its calorific value and overall efficiency. To address this, RGIPT has
developed a membrane-based biogas upgrading system enhanced with
nanofluid-assisted separation. In this multi-stage configuration, CO₂ and trace impurities are selectively removed while methane
is retained and enriched. The incorporation of nanofluids improves mass
transfer and separation efficiency, and a multi-pass operation further enhances
methane concentration. As a result, the upgraded biomethane exhibits
significantly higher energy content and improved fuel quality. This approach
represents a notable advancement over conventional purification techniques,
while also contributing to carbon capture and making the process both
energy-efficient and environmentally responsive.



To further strengthen the waste-to-energy pathway, RGIPT has
adopted hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) as an effective solution for converting
mixed and low-value waste streams into useful fuels. This technology is
particularly relevant in the current waste management landscape, where
heterogeneous waste—especially combinations of plastic and organic matter—poses
significant recycling challenges and often ends up in landfills or incineration
systems. Under optimized conditions of elevated temperature and pressure, HTL
converts such mixed waste into biocrude oil, along with hydrochar and gaseous
byproducts. The process yields approximately 10 wt.% biocrude, demonstrating
its potential as an alternative energy source. By enabling the recovery of
energy from otherwise non-recyclable waste, HTL offers a sustainable and
practical pathway to reduce landfill dependency while contributing to resource
efficiency and circular economy goals.

Material recovery within the framework is further
strengthened through plastic waste valorization, wherein non-recyclable plastic
is transformed into durable and functional utility products. Through controlled
thermal and mechanical processing, discarded plastics are converted into items
such as mats, tables, and stools that exhibit good strength, durability, and
resistance to environmental conditions. This approach not only addresses the
challenge of plastic waste disposal but also generates economically useful
materials with practical applications on campus and beyond. By demonstrating a
cost-effective and decentralized model, this initiative offers a scalable
solution for plastic waste management, particularly relevant for urban and
semi-urban settings where conventional recycling infrastructure is limited.



Water sustainability within the framework is achieved
through an integrated nano–bio wastewater treatment system that combines
biological processes with nanofluid-assisted interactions and plant-based
extracts. This hybrid approach enables efficient removal of pollutants, including
turbidity, dissolved solids, and organic contaminants, achieving reductions of
over 95% in COD and BOD levels. 

The treated water is suitable for reuse in irrigation,
aquaculture, and other non-potable campus applications, thereby significantly
reducing freshwater demand. In addition, the biomass generated during treatment
can be further utilized for energy recovery or soil applications, ensuring
minimal waste generation. This system demonstrates an effective and
resource-efficient solution for closing the water loop within a sustainable
campus ecosystem.



Collectively, these interventions form a cohesive and
synergistic ecosystem in which each process contributes to the overall
efficiency of the system. What distinguishes this model is not merely the deployment
of individual technologies, but their seamless integration into a unified
resource recovery network. Organic waste is converted into energy and soil
nutrients, biogas is upgraded into a high-quality fuel, mixed waste is
transformed into liquid and solid energy carriers, plastic waste is repurposed
into functional products, and wastewater is treated for reuse. This
interconnected approach ensures optimal utilization of resources across
multiple domains while minimizing environmental impact. As the system continues
to evolve, ongoing efforts are directed toward improving process efficiencies,
expanding recovery pathways, and strengthening linkages between energy, water,
and material cycles to achieve greater levels of self-sufficiency.

In summary, the integrated framework developed at RGIPT
demonstrates a coherent and scalable pathway for transforming waste into
valuable resources through scientifically designed and interconnected
processes. By converting waste streams into energy, materials, and reusable
inputs, the model not only addresses waste management challenges but also
contributes to climate action, resource conservation, and sustainable
development. Its strength lies in its practical implementation and
replicability, offering a blueprint for other academic institutions, urban
communities, and policy initiatives aiming to transition toward circular and
resilient systems. As environmental pressures continue to intensify, such
integrated and technology-driven approaches will play a crucial role in shaping
sustainable futures.

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

event models. While the sessions will be conducted by trained professionals
across Hi Kalpaa centres, the curriculum has been shaped with Chahal’s inputs
to ensure that sports is introduced to young children in a way that is
engaging, age-appropriate, and developmentally meaningful.

KINETIKO
will also be offered as part of Hi Kalpaa’s upcoming summer camp, allowing
children to experience the curriculum through structured sports activities
during the seasonal program.

Speaking
on the launch, Shalini Sharma, Founder &amp; CEO of Hi-Kalpaa, said:
“KINETIKO reflects our belief that early education must prepare children for
life in every sense; not just academically, but physically, emotionally, and
socially. Our collaboration with Yuzvendra Chahal has helped us shape a sports
curriculum that is development-led, joyful, and meaningful for young children,
while building habits and skills that stay with them for years to come.”

With
KINETIKO, Hi Kalpaa continues to expand its experiential approach to early
education by integrating movement and sports into the formative years in a
structured and purposeful way.

<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/2026-carbike-awards-tata-sierra-tvs-apache-rtx-take-top-honours</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/2026-carbike-awards-tata-sierra-tvs-apache-rtx-take-top-honours</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The annual car&amp;bike awards were held in Mumbai on Friday, March 13, 2026,
making it the 20th year of the oldest and most credible automotive
awards since inception in 2006. Among the winners, Tata Sierra and TVS Apache
RTX swooped the floor with staggering number of awards, including the car and
bike of the year. The lineup of nominees highlighted an interesting pivot- more
ICE Two wheelers and Electric four wheelers were in the foray with the latter
becoming as mainstream as 3 in 5 top cars of the night. There was, however, no
hatchback or sedan category to be found due to lack of new launches, indicating
how the industry&#039;s focus is shifting.  

The awards
ceremony was held at Taj, The Trees, Mumbai and was a gathering of some of the
most illustrious leaders of the Indian automobile industry, including Mr.
Shailesh Chandra, MD &amp; CEO, Tata Motors Passenger vehicles Ltd and Vimal
Sumbly, Business Head Premium &amp; Head premium Marketing, TVS Motor Company
who collected the trophies for Car of the year and Motorcycle of the Year
respectively. Rakesh Kaul, Chief Distribution Officer – Retail Business, Bajaj
General Insurance also graced the event and facilitated the final trophies and
expressed his pleasure being the title partner for the awards. 

Commenting
on the occasion, Mr. Mohammed Turra – MD &amp; CEO, car&amp;bike said,
&quot;Celebrating 20 years of the car&amp;bike Awards is a proud moment for all
of us. This journey would not have been possible without the unwavering support
of the automotive community and our audience. Over the years, the mission has
remained unchanged: to identify and honour the vehicles that push boundaries.
This year&#039;s winners too represent the pinnacle of tech-forward engineering that
simplifies and enhances the lives of our viewers and readers.&quot; 

The awards
itself were preceded by a Jury testing round, spearheaded by car&amp;bike
Editor-in-Chief Girish Karkera, where three specialist juries of eminent,
experienced and multi-skilled jurors evaluated and judged the different product
categories: cars, bikes, and design. The full list of the illustrious jury can
be found at www.carandbike.com/awards  

“car&amp;bike
Awards have always been one of the most sought after in the automotive world,”
said Girish. “Each year we celebrate excellence and advise our readers on our
choices amongst the best launches. It’s a democratic and scientific way of
choosing the winners with the expertise of our jurors and a unique scoring
method.” 

The

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

<title>Vascular &amp;amp; Endovascular Surgery: The Conditions We Often Overlook</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/vascular-endovascular-surgery-the-conditions-we-often-overlook</link>

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

<title>Lubrizol and The Apprentice Project Bring 21st Century Skills to Students in Navi Mumbai and Pune</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/lubrizol-and-the-apprentice-project-bring-21st-century-skills-to-students-in-navi-mumbai-and-pune</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/lubrizol-and-the-apprentice-project-bring-21st-century-skills-to-students-in-navi-mumbai-and-pune</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Lubrizol, in partnership with The Apprentice Project (TAP), a non-profit
working to build 21st century skills among students in government schools,
recently conducted a hands-on learning event at Navi Mumbai Municipal
Corporation School No. 46, Gothivali, Ghansoli. The event brought together 8
Lubrizol employees and 50 students for a day of collaborative, activity-based
learning focused on problem solving and creativity.

A Partnership
Built on Shared Purpose

The Apprentice
Project (TAP), an initiative of MentorMe Foundation, works with students in
grades 4-12 in government and low income schools, building 21st century skills
like problem solving, critical thinking, and financial literacy. At the heart
of TAP&#039;s model is TAP Buddy, a WhatsApp-based learning platform, which is
integrated into school systems. By combining technology and a project-based
approach to learning, TAP enables 21st century skill development across
classrooms and school systems.

Lubrizol is a
science-based company leveraging specialty chemistry to provide sustainable
solutions that advance mobility, promote well-being, and enrich modern living.
Lubrizol has always firmly believed in creating meaningful impact through its
community investments (partnerships with non-profits and volunteering
activities) conducted across the globe. In India, this conviction is reflected
in the company&#039;s CSR commitment largely towards education-prioritising STEM
learning, foundational literacy, and vocational skilling for the communities.

Together, the
Lubrizol-TAP partnership supports students across government schools in Navi
Mumbai and Pune, united by a shared belief in the power of education to
transform lives.

The Partnership
in Action

The employee
engagement event at NMMC School No. 46 was structured around the same learning
approach that students experience every week through TAP Buddy. The students
and the volunteers worked through two activities in small groups, one rooted in
science and the other in art.

The science
activity challenged students to build a functional pedal bin, a model that
works on the same lever mechanism as a standard dustbin. The activity opened up
questions between children and volunteers about how everyday objects are
engineered, why certain materials work and others don’t, and how to
troubleshoot when a design does not work as expected. Lubrizol volunteers
worked through these questions with the students, guiding the students to think
critically and arrive at the solution.

The arts activity
focused on traditional Gond art, a folk artform that originates from the tribal
communities of Central India. Students designed and painted their own coasters,
learning about one of India&#039;s most distinctive cultural traditions while
practising focus, composition, and creative decision-making. The coasters, like
the pedal bins, were immediately useful, allowing students to see the value in
what they created.

This reflects
TAP’s approach to learning, where students build conceptual understanding by
creating and applying ideas. Skills such as problem solving, critical thinking
and creativity emerge naturally through this process.

Where Learning
Meets Impact

As their projects
came to life, students and volunteers gathered to present what they had built.
They spoke about the choices behind their projects; some shared how they wanted
to recreate the pedal bin at home, while others held up their coasters proudly.

For Lubrizol
volunteers, the experience offered something that reports and presentations
cannot capture:  a firsthand understanding of how students learn through
TAP&#039;s model.

&quot;When we
were in school,  we weren&#039;t this active and confident. I see these
students now and it feels so good to see that they are so confident and smart.
I am happy to see the government schools landscape is changing,&quot; said a
Lubrizol volunteer.

For the school,
the event was equally significant. Anuja Mirkute, Headmistress of
NMMC School No. 46, said, &quot;A big thank you to TAP and Lubrizol for
bringing this opportunity to us. We don&#039;t have a playground, so we try to keep
the students engaged in such activities, and they are performing really well. I
hope  that our students get many more opportunities like this.&quot;

Looking Ahead

As TAP continues
to impact more children and more schools each year, partnerships with funders
play a critical role in strengthening both access and quality. Lubrizol’s
support, as both a funder and an active participant, enables students to not
only build skills, but also gain exposure to real world interactions that shape
confidence and aspiration.

Sustainable
impact in education is built through consistent presence, programming that is
rooted in the realities of the system, and holistic partnerships. The
collaboration between Lubrizol and TAP is built on this ethos.

About The
Apprentice Project: The Apprentice Project
(TAP), a program of MentorMe Foundation, headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, is
a nonprofit organisation working to equip students in Grades 4-12 in government
and low-income schools with 21st-century skills. TAP partners with government
school systems, including SCERT and DIET, to deliver experiential and
AI-enabled learning programs at scale, combining hands-on activities with
accessible technology to build problem solving, critical thinking, creativity,
and applied learning skills. At present, TAP reaches over 150,000 students
across India through partnerships with government school systems.

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

authentically and powerfully through an association like this, both on and off
the field.”

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

association also encourages citizens to celebrate responsibly by choosing
high-quality, hygienic, and locally produced ice cream products.

<title>Vinra Construction Named Among Bangalore&amp;apos;s Top 5 Home Construction Companies in 2026, Backed by 15 Years of On&#45;Ground Experience</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/vinra-construction-named-among-bangalores-top-5-home-construction-companies-in-2026-backed-by-15-years-of-on-ground-experience</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/vinra-construction-named-among-bangalores-top-5-home-construction-companies-in-2026-backed-by-15-years-of-on-ground-experience</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A Bangalore-based turnkey construction firm, founded and led by
Vinod Ranjan, now ranks among the city’s top 5 home construction companies in
2026. Backed by 15+ years of hands-on experience, it has grown on a simple
promise: earning client trust and delivering projects on time.

When Vinod Ranjan started Vinra
Construction over 15 years ago, the pitch was straightforward: build homes
the way you’d want your own built having no corners cut, no timelines missed,
no surprises on the bill. What began as a small residential construction
practice has since grown into one of Bangalore’s recognised names in
independent home and villa construction, completing projects across the city’s
key residential zones.

“We’ve built our reputation one home at a time,” said Vinod Ranjan,
Founder and Managing Director at Vinra Construction. “Every project is
personal, families trust us with something they’ve worked towards for years.
That responsibility never gets old for us. Even today, we still treat each
build the same way and with the same accountability we’d want if it were our
own home.”

What 15
Years of Experience Looks Like on the Ground

The company has seen material costs spike without warning, watched
regulations change mid-project, and figured out what it actually takes to build
in different parts of the city. 

That experience is what makes the turnkey model work, which is one
team, start to finish, so nothing falls through the gap between contractors.

“Anyone can promise quality,” Vinod said. “We back it with a 10-year
warranty on every home we build, and we can do that because we&#039;re not handing
your project off to some external contractor and hoping for the best. Our
architects, site engineers, project managers, and designers are all in-house.
They&#039;ve built together, they know our standards, and we run over 500 quality
checks through the course of a build. That&#039;s not a marketing number. It&#039;s how
we actually work.”

He&#039;s clear about what makes the warranty meaningful in Bangalore&#039;s
construction market. A lot of companies offer similar things on paper. Many of
them won&#039;t be around in ten years to honour it. Vinra has been. That&#039;s the
difference.

Karnataka
Icon Awards 2025–26 and Industry Standing

Vinra Construction’s work in Bangalore’s residential construction
space was recognised at the Karnataka Icon Awards 2025–26, an honour that
acknowledges contributions to the state’s construction and infrastructure
ecosystem. The company’s inclusion among Bangalore’s top 5 home construction
companies in 2026 reflects a broader market recognition of its consistent
project standards.

In a city where dozens of construction firms operate but far fewer
complete what they promise on time, Vinra’s track record of project completion
and client referrals has become its most credible credential.

A
Business Built on Referrals

A significant share of Vinra
Construction’s new projects come through word-of-mouth referrals from past
clients, and that matters more than any ranking. What homeowners mention most
when referring Vinra is simple: the team showed up when scheduled, problems
were raised before they escalated, and the final invoice didn’t stray far from
the original estimate.

These are the core operational principles the company has maintained
across its 15+ years:

●      
Structured project timelines
with milestone-based tracking at the outset.

●      
Detailed cost estimates with
full transparency.

●      
Dedicated site supervisors for
every project, with regular client check-ins.

●      
In-house procurement of
materials to maintain quality control and reduce supply chain delays.

●      
Post-handover support for
snagging and minor corrections within the agreed warranty period.

The Path
Ahead

As Bangalore
continues to grow into areas like Devanahalli, Sarjapur Road, and Tumkur Road,
builders who combine reliability with transparency are becoming the ones
clients trust.

Vinra is responding
to that shift by introducing digital project management tools so clients can
easily keep track of progress, approvals, and material schedules, without the
usual back-and-forth or having to chase updates, making it a tech-enabled
construction company.

Getting recognised
among Bangalore&#039;s top 5 home construction companies in 2026 means something to
the team at Vinra, but Vinod is clear about what actually drives the work. &#039;The
ranking is a reflection of the projects we&#039;ve delivered and the clients who
trusted us. The next phase of growth will follow the same principle. Bigger
doesn&#039;t mean better unless the quality keeps up,&#039; he said.

About Vinra Construction

Vinra Construction is a Bangalore-based home construction company
with over 15 years of experience in the residential sector. Founded by Vinod
Ranjan, the company offers end-to-end construction services covering design,
approvals, civil works, and interior execution for independent homes and villas
across Bangalore. Vinra Construction is a recipient of the Karnataka Icon
Awards 2025–26.

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

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

<title>Smallest.ai launches Lightning V3, a new text&#45;to&#45;speech model that beats OpenAI, Cartesia, and ElevenLabs on key voice quality benchmarks</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/smallestai-launches-lightning-v3-a-new-text-to-speech-model-that-beats-openai-cartesia-and-elevenlabs-on-key-voice-quality-benchmarks</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/smallestai-launches-lightning-v3-a-new-text-to-speech-model-that-beats-openai-cartesia-and-elevenlabs-on-key-voice-quality-benchmarks</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Designed
for real-time use, it combines multilingual speech, voice cloning from seconds
of audio, and conversational-level prosody in a single system

San
Francisco, CA | March 27, 2026 : Smallest.ai, the research-first
Voice AI company building proprietary speech models and production-grade voice
agents, today announced the launch of Lightning V3,
its most advanced text-to-speech (TTS) model for real-time, conversational AI.

In
conversational evaluations, Lightning V3 achieves a 3.89 MOS,
outperforming leading models from OpenAI, Cartesia, and ElevenLabs,
while also leading on intonation (3.33) and prosody (3.07)- two
of the most critical factors for natural, human-like speech. The model combines
this performance with multilingual support, instant voice cloning, and
streaming generation designed for real-world interactions.

Most
TTS models today are still evaluated on complete sentences generated in isolation.
That setup is easier to optimize for, but it doesn’t reflect how voice systems
actually behave in production- where audio is generated in chunks, context is
incomplete, and responses have to adapt as conversations unfold.

Lightning V3 is built for how voice
systems actually run in production- generating speech in chunks, without full
context, and adapting as conversations evolve. It maintains consistency across
turns and adjusts tone and pacing mid-sentence, which is where most systems
break down.

That
same setup allows the model to work across use cases without retraining-  including voice agents, contact centers,
podcasts, audiobooks, dubbing, and interactive applications.

It
supports 15 languages with automatic detection and mid-sentence
switching, and can clone a voice from 5–15 seconds of audio. These
cloned voices tend to sound more natural than preset ones, since they retain
the variations of real speech.

The
model outputs audio at 44.1 kHz, and can be downsampled to 8–24 kHz
for telephony.

“Conversation
is where most voice systems fall apart,” said Sudarshan Kamath,
Founder and CEO, Smallest.ai. “It’s not just about
sounding clear- the voice has to track context, timing, and emotion at the same
time. If it works there, it works everywhere.”

A shift in
how voice quality is measured

The
launch also challenges how voice models are evaluated. Most benchmarks rely on
static outputs- a setup that rarely reflects real usage.

Lightning
V3 is evaluated across these use case specific settings,
measuring how well the voice maintains coherence, responsiveness, and
believability throughout an interaction, in the given context of the
conversation not just within a single utterance. 

Voices
should be designed and judged in context: for whether they fit the persona they
are meant to inhabit, carry the right social signal, and feel believable in the
moment they were built for.

Pricing

Lightning
V3.1 is available on a pay-as-you-go model, with no upfront commitments,
seat licenses, or minimum usage requirements.

Teams
can scale from early prototypes to high-volume deployments across both voice
agents and content generation- with usage-based pricing and non-expiring
credits.

About
Smallest.ai

Smallest.ai
is a research-first Voice AI company building proprietary speech models and
production-grade voice agents for regulated enterprises.

The
company develops state of the art speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and real-time
voice systems, enabling end-to-end automation of high-volume conversations
across support, collections, onboarding, and servicing- without relying on
stitched third-party APIs.

Designed
for financial services and other regulated industries, Smallest.ai is SOC 2,
GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI compliant, supports on-prem and private cloud
deployments, and operates reliably in multilingual environments.

Its
platform is used in production by enterprises across banking, insurance, BPO

<title>Business Leader and Author Mr. LC Singh Launches His Memoir Things We Don’t See</title>

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

<title>How MMCM is creating Traceable carbon credits from India&amp;apos;s End of Life vehicle circular economy</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-mmcm-is-creating-traceable-carbon-credits-from-indias-end-of-life-vehicle-circular-economy</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/how-mmcm-is-creating-traceable-carbon-credits-from-indias-end-of-life-vehicle-circular-economy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For decades, the story of a car
in India did not end where it should have. Once a vehicle reached the end of
its usable life, it quietly disappeared into scrapyards scattered across the
country. Engines were dismantled, metal was cut and sold, and whatever could be
salvaged was traded in local scrap markets. Yet the environmental value of this
process remained invisible.

This creates what many in the industry describe as
the scrappage climate paradox. Vehicle recycling is one of the most powerful
circular economy activities available to the automotive sector, yet until
recently it remained disconnected from climate accounting systems and carbon
markets.

India is entering a phase where its vehicle park is
rapidly aging. Estimates suggest that more than 20 million vehicles are nearing
end of life status, and this number is expected to grow significantly over the
next decade as stricter emission norms and scrappage policies come into force.

Each of these vehicles contains valuable metals
such as steel, aluminium, and copper that can be recycled instead of extracted
again from the earth. Recycling these materials requires far less energy than
producing them from virgin resources, which means significantly lower carbon
emissions.

The challenge has never been
the absence of environmental value. The challenge has been the absence of
traceability. This is where MMCM is
building digital infrastructure that turns vehicle scrappage from a waste
management process into a traceable circular economy system capable of
generating carbon assets.

The
Scrappage Climate Paradox

Vehicle
recycling sits at the intersection of circular economy and emissions reduction.
Each vehicle contains materials that can reenter manufacturing supply chains
instead of being replaced with newly mined resources. When these materials are
recovered and recycled, the resulting emissions avoidance can be quantified in
metric tons of CO₂e.

However,
until recently, the end of a vehicle’s lifecycle effectively disappeared from
formal documentation systems.

Vehicles
entering informal scrappage yards often lost their identity immediately after
intake. Once the Vehicle Identification Number was no longer tracked, the
entire dismantling process became unobservable from an emissions accounting
standpoint.

This
created what industry analysts often describe as a “scrappage climate paradox.”
The environmental benefit existed, but the absence of traceability meant that
emission reductions could not be validated, verified, or registered within
carbon markets.

The
Traceability Gap in Vehicle Recycling

India’s
traditional scrappage ecosystem has historically been fragmented and largely
informal. Many dismantling yards operated without standardized monitoring
protocols, making it difficult to produce the structured documentation required
for emissions verification.

Without
traceability systems, several operational risks emerged.

Hazardous
automotive fluids such as engine oil, transmission fluids, and coolants could
contaminate soil and groundwater when dismantling practices were not properly
documented. High value alloys from vehicle bodies were frequently downgraded
into mixed scrap rather than segregated for efficient industrial reuse.

In
carbon accounting terminology, this situation created “leakage.” Materials
exited the formal industrial supply chain while environmental impacts remained
unreported.

For
carbon markets, the absence of “proof of processing” created a verification
barrier. Carbon credits require validation through approved methodologies,
monitoring protocols, and independent third party auditors known as VVBs.
Without a verifiable data trail linking a specific vehicle to a specific
dismantling process, emission reductions could not be certified.

MMCM’s
Digital Infrastructure for Circular Carbon Assets

To
address this gap, MMCM has developed a digital infrastructure stack designed to
capture operational data across the vehicle scrappage lifecycle.

The
first layer is AutoLoop, a platform used by Registered Vehicle Scrapping
Facilities (RVSFs) to digitize dismantling operations. AutoLoop functions as a
shop floor operating system that manages vehicle intake documentation, VAHAN
blacklist verification, compliance checks, and generation of Form 3
certificates confirming the destruction of a vehicle.

At
the facility level, vehicles and components are tracked through QR coded
tagging systems. Each step in the dismantling workflow generates structured
operational data that can be monitored, reported, and verified.

The
second layer is DigiELV, which facilitates the management of Certificates of
Deposit (CD) that allow vehicle owners to legally transfer and monetize their
CD.

The third layer converts the captured operational
data into a financial climate asset. Through structured monitoring protocols
and verification frameworks, the recycling activity can generate ELV Carbon
credits, which represent measurable
emission reductions resulting from responsible material recovery.

To
support audit readiness, the system uses a 41 point digital measurement,
reporting, and verification framework known as dMRV. Data integrity is
reinforced through blockchain infrastructure using the Hedera Guardian network,
which maintains tamper resistant documentation records.

Incentivizing
the Scrappage Sector

One
of the structural changes introduced by this system is the creation of an
incentive layer for the scrappage sector.

Historically,
dismantling facilities operated on thin commodity margins derived from scrap
metal sales. Environmental performance or emissions reduction was not
financially recognized.

By
integrating dismantling data with carbon market methodologies, MMCM enables
scrapping facilities to participate in carbon credit generation. When emission
reductions are validated and issued through approved registries, a portion of
the credit value can be distributed back to the RVSFs responsible for the
recycling activity.

Operationally,
dismantling facilities are no longer only processing vehicles. They are
generating auditable environmental data linked to emissions reductions within
global voluntary carbon markets.

Quantifying
the Emissions Impact

The
environmental impact of ELV processing can be quantified through avoided
emissions.

When
steel and aluminium are recycled rather than produced from virgin ore, the
energy requirements drop significantly. Recycling steel can reduce energy
consumption by up to 60 percent compared with primary production, depending on
the industrial process and grid emission factors.

Within
MMCM’s methodology framework, approximately 0.6 metric tons of CO₂e
emissions can be avoided for every metric ton of ELV material processed through
verified recycling channels.

To
ensure credibility within international carbon markets, these emission
reductions are aligned with methodologies certified by Cercarbono and based on
United Nations Clean Development Mechanism protocols.

These
methodologies define the monitoring protocols, additionality requirements, and
verification procedures needed for carbon credit issuance.

Closing
the Steel Loop for Automotive OEMs

While
scrappage facilities provide the operational supply side of this ecosystem,
automotive manufacturers represent the demand side within corporate ESG
frameworks.

Automobile
manufacturers face increasing pressure to reduce Scope 3 emissions across their
value chains. In many cases, 75 to 80 percent of an automotive company’s
lifecycle emissions originate from supply chain activities including raw
material production.

With digital traceability
systems, manufacturers can now obtain cradle to grave visibility into what
happens when their vehicles exit the road network. Dismantling records can be
linked to specific vehicle models and locations, creating structured lifecycle
tracking. The resulting “steel to steel” loop allows recovered automotive
metals to be reintroduced into manufacturing processes, reducing reliance on
carbon intensive primary materials

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

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

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

<title>Dr. Vikas Gowd Sets a New National Benchmark in Dental Implantology with the Immediate Implant Technique</title>

<description><![CDATA[ HYDERABAD :  In a nation, where millions silently endure the burden of missing teeth,
struggling to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, one name has emerged as
the definitive force in restoring not just teeth, but lives. Prof. Dr. Vikas
Gowd, founder and chief implantologist at Dr. Gowds’ Dental Hospitals,
Hyderabad, has made it his life’s mission to bring world-class dental
implantology to every patient with speed, precision, and permanence that no
conventional treatment can match.

Why Dental Implants Are No Longer Optional: They Are
Essential

For decades, dentistry offered two primary
solutions for missing teeth: dentures and bridges. Both served a purpose. But
both came with significant limitations — slipping, discomfort, bone loss, and
the constant reminder that the replacement was never truly “yours.” Dental
implants changed everything.

A dental implant is a titanium fixture
surgically placed into the jawbone, functioning as an artificial tooth root.
Over time, it fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration,
creating a foundation as strong — and in many ways stronger — than nature
itself. A custom crown is then placed atop, completing a restoration that
looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth.

The clinical importance of dental implants
goes far beyond aesthetics:

●     
Prevents bone loss: When
a tooth is lost, the jawbone begins to deteriorate within months. Implants are
the only restoration that stimulates bone, halting this process entirely. 

●     
Preserves adjacent teeth: Unlike
bridges that require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth, implants are
completely independent, keeping your natural teeth intact. 

●     
Restores full bite function: Patients
with implants can eat any food without restriction — apples, meat, and nuts —
without fear or discomfort. 

●     
Lifelong durability: With
proper care, implants are designed to last a lifetime. No adhesive. No removal.
No compromise. 

●     
Psychological and social confidence: Clinical
studies consistently show that patients with dental implants report dramatically
improved self-esteem, social confidence, and quality of life. 

The global dental
implant market is projected to cross USD 7 billion by 2028, and India is
rapidly emerging as one of the fastest-growing markets. At the center of this
revolution in Hyderabad stands Dr. Vikas Gowd.

 

About Prof. Dr. Vikas Gowd — A Legacy Built on Firsts

Prof. Dr. Vikas Gowd holds qualifications few
dentists in India or the world can claim: MDS, FICD, FICOI, DICOI, FBDZI, and
FDGOI. He is a specialist in dental implantology, prosthodontics, aesthetic
dentistry, and maxillofacial surgery. But credentials alone do not define him.
His record of pioneering “firsts” does.

●     
First Indian to be conferred Expert
Implantologist status by the European Dental Association (EDA) 

●     
First to place immediate dental implants in
the State of Andhra Pradesh 

●     
First to conduct a clinical study on bone
regeneration from stem cells in the region 

●     
First to introduce CAD/CAM technology to
restorative dentistry in Hyderabad 

●     
Appointed Director of Oral Implantology,
University of Genova, Italy (2018) 

●     
President, Association of Implantologists,
Hyderabad 

●     
Fellow and Member, International Congress of
Oral Implantologists (ICOI) 

●     
Former Professor and Head of Department,
Prosthodontics: six years of academic excellence 

●     
Founder and Director, School of Dental
Implants, training the next generation of implantologists 

Trained across the United States, Switzerland,
and Germany in surgical and prosthodontic phases of implantology, advanced bone
grafting, and tissue regeneration, Dr. Gowd brings a global standard of care to
Hyderabad’s patients every single day.

Dental Implants: Then vs. Now — A Revolution in Patient
Experience

To appreciate the magnitude of what Dr. Vikas
Gowd and his team now offer, one must understand how dramatically implantology
has evolved.

The Conventional (Traditional) Implant Journey:

The traditional implant process was a
multi-stage, multi-month journey that demanded enormous patience from patients:

1.Tooth Extraction: If
the damaged tooth was still present, it had to be removed and the patient had
to wait 3–6 months for the socket to heal completely. 

2.Bone Grafting (if
required): Many patients had insufficient bone density. A bone graft—often
using material from the patient’s own body—was placed and required a further
4–6 months of healing. 

3.Implant Placement:
Only then could the titanium implant be placed. Healing and
osseointegration required another 3–6 months. 

4.Crown Placement: Finally,
after all healing was complete, the permanent crown was fitted. 

●     
Total Timeline: Anywhere
between 9 months and 18 months from first consultation to final smile. Multiple
surgeries. Multiple anesthetic sessions. Multiple periods of wearing a
temporary prosthesis that never felt natural. 

The Modern Immediate Implant Approach — Dr. Vikas Gowd’s
Patented Technique:

Prof. Dr. Vikas Gowd’s
approach has compressed what once took over a year into a single,
precision-driven session without compromising safety, aesthetics, or longevity.

 

The Patented Immediate Implant Technique — Innovation at
Its Finest

As India’s most celebrated implantologist,
Prof. Dr. Vikas Gowd has pioneered and perfected the Immediate Implant
Protocol, a revolutionary approach that simultaneously extracts the failing
tooth and places the implant in a single appointment, often loading a temporary
or permanent crown on the very same day.

What Makes This Technique Unique:

●     
Same-Day Placement: The
implant is placed immediately into the fresh extraction socket, eliminating the
months of waiting for bone healing. The socket itself, rich in blood supply and
growth factors, accelerates integration. 

●     
Bone Preservation: By
placing the implant immediately, the natural architecture of the bone and gum
tissue is preserved. This leads to superior aesthetic outcomes, particularly
for front teeth where the gum line matters most. 

●     
Reduced Surgical Sessions: What
previously required 3–4 separate surgeries are achieved in one. Less
anesthesia. Less downtime. Less anxiety for the patient. 

●     
Precision Angulation and Placement: Dr.
Vikas Gowd’s patented technique involves exact 3D planning using digital
imaging and guided implant placements, ensuring the implant lands in optimal
bone for maximum primary stability. 

●     
Immediate Provisionalization: In
many cases, a beautiful temporary crown is placed the same day, so patients
leave the clinic with a complete, functional smile, never walking out with a
gap. 

●     
Advanced Bone Grafting Integration: Where
needed, Dr. Gowd simultaneously performs socket preservation grafting at the
time of implant placement—eliminating a separate grafting procedure entirely. 

●     
Predictability Through Technology: Digital
smile design, 3D cone beam CT scanning, and CAD/CAM crown fabrication combine
to ensure the final result is both clinically precise and cosmetically
flawless. 



“When a
patient loses a tooth, every day without an implant is a day the bone is
shrinking. Immediate implants are not just about convenience; they are about
preserving biology, preserving confidence, and preserving the patient’s future.
That is why I have dedicated my career to perfecting this protocol.”



— Prof.
Dr. Vikas Gowd, India’s Best Implantologist

 

The Transformation in Numbers: Then vs. Now

The contrast between
traditional and immediate implant protocols could not be more striking. Where
conventional implantology demanded 9 to 18 months and 3 to 4 separate surgical
procedures, Dr. Gowd’s Immediate Implant Technique delivers results in a single
day, often within 2 to 4 hours in the clinic. The number of anesthetic
administrations drops from 4 to just 1. The recovery time shrinks from months
to days. Pain and discomfort are dramatically reduced. And crucially, the
aesthetic outcome is often superior, because bone and gum tissue architecture
is preserved at the moment of tooth loss rather than allowed to resorb and
collapse. For patients who have spent years wearing ill-fitting dentures, or
who have been told they “don’t have enough bone” for implants, Dr. Gowd’s
advanced bone grafting and sinus lift expertise combined with the Immediate
Implant Protocol opens doors that conventional dentistry had closed.

 

Dr. Gowds’ Dental Hospitals — Where World-Class Care
Meets Compassion

With over 59 years of combined institutional
heritage, Dr. Gowds’ Dental Hospitals operate across multiple centers in
Hyderabad — in Banjara Hills, HITEC City, and Secunderabad — serving patients
from across India and internationally. The hospital is a recognized destination
for dental tourism, welcoming patients from the UAE, the United Kingdom, the
United States, and across Southeast Asia who travel to Hyderabad specifically
for Dr. Gowd’s expertise.

The facility houses advanced equipment,
including 3D cone beam CT scanners, CAD/CAM milling units, digital smile design
software, and a fully integrated in-house dental laboratory, enabling the
entire implant journey — from planning to crown delivery — to be managed under
one roof with zero compromise in quality or timelines.

Beyond clinical excellence, Dr. Vikas Gowd’s
commitment to society runs deep. His hospital collaborates with the Red Cross,
runs a charitable dental clinic, and has adopted blind schools and orphanages
for complimentary dental services. He is the author of Chiru Navvu (Smile)—a
Telugu-language book on dental awareness—and continues to train hundreds of
dental professionals every year through the School of Dental Implants.

A Message to Every Patient with a Missing Tooth

If you or a loved one is living with a missing
tooth or multiple missing teeth, the message from Prof. Dr. Vikas Gowd is clear
and urgent: do not wait. Every month of delay accelerates bone loss that
becomes increasingly difficult to reverse. The good news is that with today’s
immediate implant technology, there has never been a faster, safer, or more
comfortable time to reclaim your smile.

At Dr. Gowds’ Dental Hospitals, the journey
from consultation to a complete, confident smile can now begin — and often end
— on the very same day.

<title>Avee Kids Rebrands as Syoat Kids, Strengthening Its Oat&#45;Focused Care Vision for Children</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/avee-kids-rebrands-as-syoat-kids-strengthening-its-oat-focused-care-vision-for-children</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/avee-kids-rebrands-as-syoat-kids-strengthening-its-oat-focused-care-vision-for-children</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a personal care
market that often divides sharply between baby products and adult products, the
years in between are frequently overlooked. That was the gap Lalith Kiran
Pedapudi set out to address when building the brand first known as Avee
Kids. Today, that journey enters a new chapter, with the brand being renamed Syoat Kids.

The transition from
Avee Kids to Syoat Kids is not a change in purpose, but a sharper expression of
it. The new name reflects a clearer and more distinctive identity for a brand
that has always stood for gentle, age-appropriate skincare and haircare for
children aged 5 to 12. At the same time, the values that helped parents
discover and trust the brand remain intact: thoughtful formulation, everyday
practicality, and a commitment to creating products that feel safe, effective,
and reassuring to use.

For Lalith Kiran
Pedapudi, the reason for the rebrand is both strategic and meaningful. As the
brand matured, it needed a name that could better express its philosophy and
stand apart in a crowded market. “Syoat” carries that significance. It points
naturally toward the ingredient story that has become central to the brand’s
identity—especially its focus on oats as a soothing, skin-friendly foundation
for children’s care. More importantly, it gives the company a stronger
long-term platform as it grows, while staying true to the trust it has already
built with families.

That continuity
matters. Syoat Kids is not being introduced as a new business with a different
product promise. Instead, it is the same brand in spirit, with the same
formulations and the same quality standards, presented under a name that more
clearly captures what it stands for. As the company puts it in its own brand
story, the essence remains unchanged; only the name evolves. Families can continue
to engage with the brand’s background and philosophy through its story page.

The oats-led focus is
especially significant. In children’s skincare and haircare, gentleness is not
a trend; it is a necessity. Oats have long been associated with soothing care,
and in the Syoat Kids philosophy, that ingredient focus is paired with multivitamins
such as B5 and E to support healthy skin and nourished hair. This gives the
brand a point of difference that goes beyond packaging or positioning. It
signals a product approach built around calm, comfort, and
consistency—qualities parents actively seek when choosing products for growing
children.

The founder’s insight
was simple but powerful: children in the 5-to-12 age group are no longer
babies, yet they are still far too young for harsh adult formulations. They are
more active, more independent, and increasingly involved in their own routines.
Their products, therefore, should reflect that stage of life. That belief
shaped the brand’s range of shampoo, body wash, lotion, and bundled care
essentials, now presented under the new identity and accessible through the Syoat Kids skincare and haircare range.

Speaking on the
transition, Lalith Kiran Pedapudi, Founder, said: “This rebrand is a
step forward in clarity, not a step away from our roots. We began with a simple
belief that children in the in-between years deserve care made especially for
them—gentle, effective, and created with a parent’s mindset. Syoat Kids
reflects that belief more powerfully, while carrying forward the same formulas,
the same standards, and the same care that families have come to trust.”

Looking ahead, the
company is also preparing to expand its portfolio with new launches tailored to
the evolving skincare and haircare needs of pre-teens and teens. The upcoming
range is expected to include products such as Syoat Kids Cleansing Shampoo,
Hair Oil, Lip Balm, Face Wash, Face Cream and other thoughtfully developed
daily-care essentials, further strengthening the brand’s commitment to
age-appropriate personal care for growing children.

With Syoat Kids, the
brand is not rewriting its story. It is naming it more confidently.

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

<title>Ta3s Launches AssurePulseAI — An AI&#45;Native Performance Engineering Platform Transforming Enterprise Observability and Application Monitoring</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/ta3s-launches-assurepulseai-an-ai-native-performance-engineering-platform-transforming-enterprise-observability-and-application-monitoring</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/ta3s-launches-assurepulseai-an-ai-native-performance-engineering-platform-transforming-enterprise-observability-and-application-monitoring</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bengaluru,
March 25, 2026 : Ta3s today announced the launch of AssurePulseAI,
an AI-native observability and performance engineering platform designed to
help enterprises navigate the growing complexity of modern digital systems.
Unlike traditional APM tools, AssurePulseAI is built from the ground up as a
unified, intelligent platform that moves enterprises from reactive monitoring
to autonomous, predictive performance management.

As
enterprises adopt microservices, APIs, hybrid cloud, and distributed
architectures, legacy monitoring tools have become fragmented, slow, and
heavily dependent on partners, manual intervention and longer deployment cycles
besides customisation. Engineering teams are often forced to rely on multiple
tools, correlate data manually, and respond to issues only after business
impact occurs. Positioned at the intersection of observability, automation, and
business intelligence, AssurePulseAI is designed not just to surface system
data, but to interpret it in real time, predict failures, and recommend
corrective actions helping Organisations reduce operational complexity while
improving key metrics such as mean time to detection (MTTD) and mean time to
resolution (MTTR).

At
its core, the platform integrates telemetry across the entire technology stack
including applications, infrastructure, databases, networks, and APIs offering
a unified and contextual view of system health, while leveraging AI to
correlate signals across layers and identify probable root causes with minimal
manual intervention. Building on this, its predictive capabilities analyse historical
and real-time data to flag potential performance degradation, capacity
constraints, and anomalies before they impact end users enabling organisations
to shift from reactive incident response to proactive prevention.

Commenting
on the launch, Sumukha Rao, Founder of Ta3s, said: “AssurePulseAI
represents a shift from monitoring systems to engineering performance outcomes.
While the industry has focused on visibility, enterprises today need
intelligence, automation, and business alignment. We built AssurePulseAI as an
AI-native platform that not only understands system behaviour in real time but
also predicts and prevents failures.

India
represents a significant opportunity, with rapid digitisation across
Government, BFSI, fintech, and digital platforms driving demand for real-time
performance intelligence, the global observability market itself is expected to
exceed $60 billion this decade. While several players have a strong presence,
we see a clear gap for solutions built and also around regulatory and
operational realities. A key differentiator for us is that enterprise data is
retained and processed within organisations and region, aligning with growing
expectations around data sovereignty.”

Abhinav,
Engineering Head, added:

“AssurePulseAI
has been architected as a truly AI-native platform where intelligence is
embedded into the core data pipeline, not layered on top. We ingest and
correlate high-volume telemetry across distributed systems in real time,
leveraging advanced AI models to detect anomalies, identify root causes, and
predict potential failures before they manifest.

From
a technical standpoint, the platform is designed for scale, minimal overhead,
and rapid deployment. Our lightweight instrumentation ensures there is no
performance impact on production systems, while our unified data model
eliminates the need for complex integrations across multiple tools. This allows
engineering teams to move from fragmented observability to a single,
intelligent control plane that continuously learns and adapts to system
behaviour.”

The
platform connects technical performance with business outcomes by mapping
telemetry to business transactions, enabling organisations to quantify the
impact of system issues on customer experience, revenue, and service-level
objectives. It also incorporates intelligent alerting and automated escalation
to ensure faster, context-driven incident response, alongside a composite
performance index that provides a simplified, real-time view of overall system
health for business leaders.

Designed
for industries where uptime and performance are critical, AssurePulseAI enables
organisations to move beyond monitoring toward performance engineering
supporting DevOps and continuous delivery environments by helping teams
anticipate failures, optimise resources, and deliver consistent digital
experiences. 

Availability

AssurePulseAI
is now available globally for enterprise deployments, including pilot programs
and demonstrations.

About
AssurePulseAI

AssurePulseAI
is an AI-native observability and autonomous performance engineering platform
designed for modern distributed systems. It unifies telemetry across the
technology stack and applies advanced analytics, AI, and automation to deliver
real-time insights, predictive intelligence, and actionable recommendations. By
connecting system performance with business outcomes, AssurePulseAI enables
enterprises to achieve higher reliability, faster resolution, and superior
digital experiences at scale. ]]></description>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/why-more-indians-are-choosing-elcytec-for-trusted-pre-owned-electronics</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, India : The demand for affordable and reliable electronics in India
continues to grow, and Elcytec, a Delhi-based e-commerce platform, is helping
meet that demand by offering carefully tested open-box and pre-owned electronic
devices to customers across the country.

Founded
by Ravi Sharma and Ritesh Sharma, Elcytec has spent the past five years
building a trusted marketplace where customers can purchase genuine electronics
at competitive prices. Through its online platform Elcytec.com, the company
serves customers across India while maintaining strict quality standards for
every product listed on the website.

Carefully
Sourced and Tested Electronics

Elcytec
specializes in sourcing open-box and pre-owned devices through a trusted
network of suppliers with whom the founders have maintained long-standing
relationships of more than 10 years.

Before
any product is listed on the website, it undergoes careful inspection and
functional testing to ensure it meets the company’s quality standards. This
process helps ensure customers receive devices that are reliable, functional,
and ready for everyday use.

“Our
goal has always been to create a platform where customers can buy electronics
with confidence,” said Ritesh Sharma, Co-Founder of Elcytec. “Each device is
carefully sourced, verified, and tested before being made available to our
customers.”

Genuine
Warranty and Return Pickup Service

To
further strengthen customer trust, Elcytec offers genuine warranty coverage on
all products. This warranty is backed directly by Elcytec and, where
applicable, also supported by the original manufacturer for the remaining
warranty duration.

In
addition, Elcytec offers a return pickup service from the customer’s location,
making the return process simple and convenient if support is required. This
commitment to service ensures customers can shop with confidence knowing
assistance is readily available when needed.

Promoting

Along
with nationwide delivery through its online store, Elcytec also offers a
warehouse pickup option in Delhi for select products. This service allows
customers to visit the warehouse, inspect eligible products in person, and
complete their purchase directly.

The
warehouse pickup option provides an additional level of transparency and trust
for customers who prefer to verify a device before buying.

Five
Years of Growth

Since
its launch five years ago, Elcytec has continued to expand its presence in
India’s growing open-box electronics market. By focusing on product
authenticity, supplier reliability, and customer-focused services, the company
has steadily built a reputation as a dependable source for pre-owned and
open-box electronics.

the demand for affordable technology continues to grow, Elcytec aims to further
strengthen its platform while maintaining its commitment to quality, transparency,
and sustainability.

<title>Flipick Launches Skills&#45;Based Learning Management System with Adaptive Assessments</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/flipick-launches-skills-based-learning-management-system-with-adaptive-assessments</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/flipick-launches-skills-based-learning-management-system-with-adaptive-assessments</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Enterprise
LMS platform goes beyond completion tracking to measure actual competencies,
enabling organizations to build skills-driven workforce development programs

Mumbai,
India — March 25th, 2026 : Flipick today announced the launch of Flipick
LMS, an enterprise learning management system built around competency
tracking and adaptive learning—moving beyond traditional completion-based
metrics to measure actual skill development.

While
most LMS platforms track whether learners completed courses, Flipick LMS tracks
what competencies they have actually developed, at what proficiency levels,
and where skill gaps exist across the organization.

“We’re
witnessing a fundamental shift in how organizations nurture talent and build
workforce capability,” said Ravi Dugal, CEO of Flipick. “Flipick’s
skills-based LMS moves learning beyond course completion to measurable
competency development, enabling organizations to build high-performing,
future-ready teams.”

Skills-Based
Architecture

Flipick
LMS enables organizations to define comprehensive skill taxonomies
relevant to their industry—customer service, compliance, technical
capabilities, leadership, product knowledge and more. All learning content maps
to these competencies, creating unified visibility into workforce capabilities.

As
learners complete training and assessments, the system automatically updates
their competency profiles. Managers see team skill heatmaps showing proficiency
levels across required competencies, identify critical gaps, and receive
automated recommendations for development priorities.

For
example, a relationship manager might show Level 3 proficiency in product
knowledge but only Level 2 in ethical selling, highlighting targeted
training needs for promotion readiness.

Adaptive
Assessment System

The
platform’s adaptive assessment engine tailors difficulty based on learner
performance. Rather than fixed tests, assessments adjust question complexity in
real-time, providing more accurate competency measurement while reducing
assessment fatigue.

Organizations
set competency-based pass criteria rather than simple percentage scores.
A learner must demonstrate Level 3 proficiency in five key skills—not just
answer 70% of questions correctly—ensuring assessments measure real capability.

Adaptive
assessments can also be integrated with any LMS using the standard LTI
interface, enabling organizations to deploy Flipick’s
assessment engine alongside their existing learning platforms.

Structured Learning
Paths

Flipick
LMS supports career development through structured learning paths with
competency-based prerequisites. Organizations build progression sequences like “Teller
to Branch Manager” where learners advance only after demonstrating required
proficiency levels.

The
system enforces skill prerequisites, tracks path completion across cohorts,
identifies promotion-ready employees based on competency profiles, and flags
at-risk learners falling behind development targets.

Enterprise
Infrastructure

Built
on multi-tenant architecture with complete data isolation, Flipick LMS
serves organizations from 50 to 10,000+ employees. The platform includes:

●       
Role-based access control

●       
SCORM 1.2 / SCORM 2004 compatibility

●       
LTI integrations for external tools

●       
Comprehensive compliance reporting

●       
Secure cloud deployment for enterprise
scalability

Organizations
can upload training content from any source—internal teams, external vendors,
or existing authoring tools—and use Flipick’s competency framework to measure
skill development regardless of content origin.

Target Markets

Flipick
LMS serves industries requiring structured competency development including:

●       
Banking &amp; Financial Services

●       
Healthcare

●       
Retail &amp; Hospitality

●       
Manufacturing

●       
Compliance-driven enterprise sectors

About Flipick

Flipick
provides enterprise learning technology focused on skills-based workforce
development and competency tracking, helping organizations move from
training completion metrics to measurable capability building.

<title>Supreme Universal launches Supreme Rivana, redefining riverside living in Pune; A 12.6&#45;acre Riverside Gated Community</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/supreme-universal-launches-supreme-rivana-redefining-riverside-living-in-pune-a-126-acre-riverside-gated-community</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/supreme-universal-launches-supreme-rivana-redefining-riverside-living-in-pune-a-126-acre-riverside-gated-community</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pune, March 25, 2026 :  Supreme Universal, a multifaceted real estate company offering luxury and
ultra-luxury developments for diverse customer segments across Mumbai and Pune,
has announced the launch of its new residential development, Supreme Rivana, a
12.6-acre riverfront gated community located in Punawale, Pune.

Positioned along the edge of the
river, Supreme Rivana is conceived as a thoughtfully planned residential
ecosystem that brings together nature, design and everyday convenience. The
development will comprise residential towers offering 2, 3 &amp; 4 Bed
residences.

Speaking on the pre-launch, Mr.
Vishal Jumani, Joint Managing Director, Supreme Universal, said, &quot;At
Supreme, our approach has always been rooted in purposeful design and a deep
understanding of how people experience their living spaces. With Supreme
Rivana, we are bringing together the rarity of riverfront living with a
carefully planned ecosystem that balances openness, community and everyday
functionality. This project reflects our continued focus on creating spaces
that are not just built well, but are designed to be lived in
meaningfully.&quot;

The project will be launched in
phases, with a total development potential of over 3 million sq. ft. and an
investment towards construction of over INR 1,500 crore. Rising tall, the
towers are thoughtfully designed to offer expansive views, abundant natural
ventilation, and ample daylight.

At the heart of Supreme Rivana is West
Pune&#039;s one of the largest multi-level clubhouse, spanning more than 50,000
square feet, complemented by all new-age amenities like padel ball, pickleball,
and over 50 lifestyle amenities distributed across the project — designed
keeping in mind all age groups. The development also integrates extensive green
planning, with over 700 trees and landscaped open spaces designed to create a
balanced living environment.

Further reinforcing the
location&#039;s appeal, the project enjoys proximity to the upcoming Navi Mumbai
International Airport and will benefit from the proposed Ring Road, both of
which are set to significantly enhance connectivity and make Punawale an increasingly
accessible and well-linked residential destination.

Punawale has emerged as one of
Pune&#039;s fastest-growing residential corridors, offering strong connectivity to
key infrastructure such as the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, NH-48, and Hinjewadi IT
Park. With improving social infrastructure, planned metro connectivity and
ongoing civic developments, the location is increasingly preferred by both
homebuyers and investors.

Supreme Rivana is located in
Punawale&#039;s most premium corridor, perfectly nestled between the Aundh-Ravet
BRTS road and the NH-48 Highway.

Within this evolving
micro-market, Supreme Rivana is designed to offer a differentiated living
experience through its emphasis on spatial planning, design detail and
community living.

Mr. Jumani added, &quot;Punawale&#039;s growth is being driven by strong
end-user demand, its proximity to Hinjewadi and Baner&#039;s employment hub, and
continuous infrastructure upgrades across the PCMC corridor. It has
demonstrated steady absorption and price appreciation, reflecting a healthy and
sustainable trajectory. As Pune expands westward, Punawale is increasingly
being preferred by homebuyers seeking better connectivity, larger living
spaces, and well-planned community developments.&quot;

The first phase will feature a mix of 2 &amp; 3 Bed residences,
towering up to 30 floors with multilevel parking.

With Supreme Rivana, Supreme Universal continues to build on its
philosophy of delivering spaces that combine functional elegance with long-term
value, while contributing to the evolving urban fabric of Pune.

ultra-luxury developments for diverse customer segments across Mumbai and Pune.

<title>Turning Small Dreams into Powerful Futures: The Skill&#45;Driven Vision of Orchid University</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/turning-small-dreams-into-powerful-futures-the-skill-driven-vision-of-orchid-university</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/turning-small-dreams-into-powerful-futures-the-skill-driven-vision-of-orchid-university</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Every big achievement begins quietly.
Sometimes a journey starts in a small-town classroom. Sometimes in a home where
opportunities are limited but ambition is not. And sometimes it begins with a
young person who simply refuses to let circumstances decide their future.

 

Across India, millions of students carry
dreams of learning more, doing more, and building a life that is different from
the one they were born into. But the reality is that dreams alone are rarely
enough. They need support, guidance, and an ecosystem that believes in them.

 

That belief is what gave birth to Orchid
University, built with the support of the Distil Group. Orchid University
was not imagined as just another institution granting degrees. It was
envisioned as a place where young people could turn determination into
direction and small aspirations into meaningful futures.

 

Today, the university stands as India’s first
value-driven, skill-based intergenerational university, built on the simple yet
powerful idea that education should change lives.

 

A Vision Born from Real Struggles

The story of Orchid University is deeply
personal and motivating: how big dreams can be achieved.

 

The founders of Orchid understand the
struggles that many students face because they lived through them. Coming from
a humble background, they experienced firsthand what it means to dream big
while facing financial limitations, uncertainty, and lack of opportunity.

 

Those experiences did not discourage them.
Instead, it shaped a vision. A vision where no young Indian with the will to
learn would ever feel held back by circumstance.

 

With the support and long-term educational
vision of the Distil Group, that idea began to take form. Orchid
University was created not simply as a place of learning but as a platform of
opportunity, especially for students who often feel education is beyond their
reach.

 

The goal was to build a university where
students could earn degrees and build confidence, independence, and purpose.

 

Knowledge with Industry Exposure

Many students graduate with degrees but still
feel unprepared for the real world. Orchid University is built to change that
reality. Instead of separating education from industry, the university
integrates the combination of both. Academic programs are designed alongside industry
leaders and sector experts so that students gain practical understanding along
with theoretical knowledge.

 

Today, Orchid University works with over
800 industry partners, ensuring that students are exposed to real work
environments early in their academic journey. This approach allows students to
learn by doing. They work on projects, engage with professionals, and begin to
understand how their skills can solve real-world challenges.

 

For many students, this is the first time
education feels connected to the life they want to build.

 

Earn Today. Graduate Tomorrow

One of the most meaningful aspects of Orchid
University’s philosophy is the idea that students should never feel financially
weak while pursuing education.

 

With the backing and commitment of the Distil
Group, the university has created opportunities for day-one internships
and paid training experiences. Students do not have to wait until
graduation to step into the professional world. Instead, they start learning,
earning, and growing from the beginning of their journey.

 

For some students, these opportunities help
support their families. For others, they provide the confidence that they can
stand on their own feet.

In many ways, this model transforms education
from a burden into a pathway toward independence.

 

Global Exposure with Indian Values

While Orchid University prepares students for
a global future, its foundation remains deeply rooted in Indian culture and
values.

 

The university proudly reflects three guiding
principles:

●       
Rooted in Indian Culture

●       
Powered by Industry

●       
Compassion at Its Core

 

Through the forward-looking vision of Distil
Group, Orchid University has also built collaborations with institutions in
more than ten countries, opening doors to international exposure and
cross-cultural learning.

 

Students gain insight into global industries,
emerging technologies, and international perspectives while staying connected
to the ethical and cultural values that shape responsible leadership.

 

When Kindness Became the Curriculum

What truly makes Orchid University different
is its academic model and the humanity woven into its campus life.

 

The university hosts both an orphanage and
an old-age home within its campus environment. Students interact regularly
with children who are growing up without families and elders who carry decades
of life experience. These interactions are deeply transformative.

 

Students learn empathy. They learn patience
and confidence at the same time. They learn the importance of listening,
understanding, and serving others. In a world where education often focuses
only on professional success, Orchid University reminds its students that
true success also includes compassion and responsibility toward society.

 

A Flexible Path Toward the Future

Careers today are evolving more rapidly than
ever and students need the freedom to explore, adapt, and discover their
strengths. Orchid University’s flexible academic framework allows learners to
move across disciplines, experiment with new ideas, and build careers aligned
with their passions.

 

Guided by experienced mentors and progressive
teaching methods, students gain not just technical skills but also the
confidence to innovate and lead. By the time they graduate, they carry more
than a qualification.

 

When Dreams Find the Right Environment

For many students, arriving at Orchid
University means stepping into an environment that believes in their potential
even before they fully believe in it themselves. At Orchid University, they
find mentors who guide them, industries that welcome them, and a community that
encourages them to grow.

 

With the continued support and vision of the
Distil Group, the university is steadily expanding its reach, ensuring that
more young people across India can access opportunities that once felt distant.
Every student who walks through the gates of Orchid University brings a dream.
And with the right guidance, that dream slowly begins to take shape.

 

The Right Place Finds You When You&#039;re Ready to
Give Up

The most powerful transformations in life
rarely happen overnight. They begin with the belief that a student from a small
town can become a leader. Belief that education can create independence and
opportunity should never be limited by circumstance.

 

Orchid University was built on that belief.
With its skill-driven education model, strong industry partnerships,
value-based learning, and the visionary support of Distil Group, the
university continues to turn small dreams into powerful futures.

 

ORCHID UNIVERSITY

 Skilled
to Lead. Rooted to Serve. Connected to Succeed.

<description><![CDATA[ Sydney,
Australia | March 24, 2026 : The Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) Australia
convened a significant virtual meeting on Saturday, March 21, 2026, with Sam
Pitroda, Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, to deliberate on key
political developments, diaspora engagement, and future strategies for
strengthening the organisation’s outreach.

The meeting was led by Gurjinder Singh Gavy, President of the Indian
Overseas Youth Congress (IOYC) Australia, in coordination with the President of
IOC, Manoj Sheoran, and saw active participation from members of the
Indian diaspora across various Australian cities.

During the session, Pitroda shared his perspectives on the evolving political
landscape in India, with particular reference to the upcoming Kerala
elections and the broader national vision shaping the country’s
socio-political discourse. He highlighted the importance of sustained youth
engagement, global Indian participation, and strengthening democratic values
through inclusive political processes.

A key highlight of the meeting was the discussion around the proposed visit
of Rahul Gandhi to Australia, which participants described as a potential

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

<description><![CDATA[ In
a world increasingly driven by creativity and visual thinking, design entrance
exams like NATA, UCEED, and CEED have become gateways to some of India’s most
prestigious design institutes. With thousands of aspirants competing every year
for limited seats in institutions like IITs, NIDs, and top architecture
colleges, the question is no longer just about talent—it is about how
effectively students can observe, interpret, and translate the world around
them.

 

According
to experts at Creative
Edge by Toprankers, one of the leading
platforms for design preparation in India, observation skills are often
the most underrated yet powerful tool in cracking design entrance exams.

 

“Students
believe creativity is something you’re born with. In reality,
creativity is something you train—and observation is where that training
begins,” says a senior mentor at Creative Edge by Toprankers.

 

Why
Observation Matters More Than Talent

 

Design
exams are not just about drawing skills or imagination. They test how well a
student can:

·       Understand
real-world objects and environments 

·       Analyse
shapes, proportions, and perspectives 

·       Translate
ideas visually with clarity 

·       Solve
problems creatively 

 

In
exams like UCEED and CEED, the focus is heavily on visualisation,
logical reasoning, and design aptitude, while NATA evaluates
spatial ability, perspective drawing, and aesthetic sensitivity.

 

Data
from past exam trends shows that students who perform well are not necessarily
the best artists—but those who can observe details accurately and apply
them creatively.

 

This
is where observation becomes a game-changer.

 

The
Science Behind Observation and Creativity

 

Observation
is not passive—it is an active cognitive process.

 

When
students observe closely, they: 

·       Notice
patterns and structures 

·       Understand
relationships between objects 

·       Develop
spatial awareness 

·       Build
visual memory 

 

Research
in cognitive psychology suggests that creative thinking improves when
individuals engage deeply with their surroundings, rather than relying only
on imagination.

 

“Creativity
is not about creating something out of nothing. It is about connecting what you
see with what you know,” explains an expert at Creative Edge
by Toprankers.

 

How
Can I Improve My Creativity for Design Entrance Exams?

 

This
is one of the most common questions among students who feel they are “not
creative enough.”

 

According
to mentors at Creative Edge by Toprankers, creativity is not a fixed
trait—it is a skill that can be developed with consistent practice.

 

Here’s
how students can improve their creativity:

 

1.
Train Your Observation Daily

Start
noticing everyday objects—chairs, buildings, shadows, textures. Ask
yourself: Why does it look this way? How can it be redesigned? 

 

2.
Maintain a Visual Diary

Sketch
what you see daily. It doesn’t have to be perfect. The goal is to improve your
ability to capture details. 

 

3.
Break Objects into Basic Shapes

Design
exams often test your ability to simplify complex objects into basic forms like
cubes, cylinders, and spheres. 

 

4.
Explore Different Perspectives

Look
at the same object from multiple angles. This improves spatial understanding, which
is crucial for exams like NATA. 

 

5.
Solve Previous Year Questions

Past
papers help you understand how observation translates into exam
questions. 

 

6.
Engage with Design Around You

From
product packaging to architecture—analyse design in everyday life.

 

Students
enrolled in structured programs at Creative Edge by Toprankers often
report significant improvement in creativity because of guided exercises that
focus on observation and application.

 

How
Do I Think More Creatively for NATA/UCEED? 

 

Thinking
creatively is less about sudden inspiration and more about training your brain
to see possibilities.

 

Experts
at Creative Edge by Toprankers suggest the following approach:

·       Think
in Alternatives

Instead of accepting things as they are, ask: What
else could this be?

 

·       Combine
Unrelated Ideas

Innovation often comes from combining two different
concepts—like nature and technology.

 

·       Practice
Visualization

Close your eyes and imagine transforming an
object—changing its function, shape, or scale.

 

·       Focus
on Problem-Solving

Design exams often test creativity through
problem-solving scenarios. Train yourself to think of practical and innovative
solutions.

 

·       Limit
Overthinking

Many students struggle because they try to be
“perfect.” Creativity flows better when you allow yourself to experiment.

 

“Creative
thinking is a habit. The more you practice it, the more natural it becomes,”
say experts at Creative Edge by Toprankers.

 

The
Reality of Design Entrance Exams

 

Every
year, thousands of students appear for exams like NATA and UCEED, but only a
small percentage secure admission into top colleges.

 

NATA
is conducted multiple times a year, with students aiming for top architecture
colleges

UCEED
sees intense competition for IIT seats

 

CEED
attracts design graduates aiming for advanced programs

 

This
level of competition means that students need more than just
theoretical preparation—they need practical, observation-driven skills.

 

Interestingly,
students who rely only on theory or memorisation often struggle in sections
that require visual interpretation and creative application.

 

Bridging
the Gap: From Observation to Performance

 

One
of the biggest challenges students face is translating what they observe into
what they draw or design.

 

At Creative
Edge by Toprankers, the focus is on bridging this gap.

 

Their
preparation approach includes:

·       Structured
observation exercises

·       Drawing
and visualisation training

·       Real
exam-level practice questions

·       Personalised
feedback from mentors

 

This
ensures that students not only observe better but also apply their
observations effectively in exams.

 

For
many aspirants, especially those exploring design
entrance exam coaching, this structured approach
becomes crucial in building confidence and clarity.

 

Breaking
the Myth: “I Am Not Creative Enough”

 

A
large number of students hesitate to pursue design because they believe
they are not creative.

 

Experts
strongly disagree.

 

“Creativity
is not about being extraordinary. It is about being attentive, curious, and
consistent,” says a mentor at Creative Edge by Toprankers.

 

Students
who develop observation skills often realise that creativity was never
missing—it just needed direction.

 

Conclusion:
Observation is the Foundation of Design Success

 

Design
exams are evolving. They are no longer about just drawing—they are about
thinking, analysing, and solving.

 

And
at the heart of all these skills lies one fundamental ability: observation.

 

For
every NATA, UCEED, or CEED aspirant, the takeaway is clear:

·       Observe
more

·       Think
deeper

·       Practice
consistently

 

Because
in the world of design, what you see—and how you see it—can define your
success.

As
experts at Creative Edge by Toprankers emphasise, observation
is not just a skill—it is the starting point of creativity itself. ]]></description>

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

<title>Reclaiming the Creator’s Time: How Swift Reply Is Enabling Influencers to Focus on Growth</title>

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

important step toward strengthening Maharashtra’s esports ecosystem through
responsible gaming initiatives and grassroots engagement. As India prepares to
compete at global events such as the Esports World Cup (EWC), Esports Nations

role in building a stronger pipeline of talent and opportunities for young
gamers. With GodLike Esports also joining the initiative, we aim to combine
competitive expertise and creator reach to drive deeper community engagement.
The MOU is a first-step towards solidifying Maharashtra as an esports hub
globally. ”

Yashasvi
Yadav, Additional Director General of Police, Maharashtra Cyber, said,
“As esports continues to grow rapidly among young audiences, it is equally
important to promote safe and responsible digital practices within the gaming
ecosystem. Through this collaboration with Skyesports and GodLike Esports, we
aim to raise awareness around cyber hygiene, online safety, and responsible
behaviour in gaming communities. Initiatives like these will help ensure that
the growth of esports in Maharashtra is supported by strong awareness of
cybersecurity, digital discipline, and safe online participation.”

Eyrie
Entertainment will be responsible for covering and supporting Cyber Department
activities across events and campaigns, specifically in relation to cyber
awareness initiatives, including amplifying outreach and engagement across
Maharashtra.

Chetan
“Kronten” Chandgude, Founder, GodLike Esports, said,

<title>From Lockers to Gold Loans: 90% Jump in Gold Loan Financing Powers India’s Credit Growth</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-lockers-to-gold-loans-90-jump-in-gold-loan-financing-powers-indias-credit-growth</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-lockers-to-gold-loans-90-jump-in-gold-loan-financing-powers-indias-credit-growth</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Have you
ever looked at the family jewellery sitting idle in your bank locker and
wondered if it could do more than just gather dust while you stress over cash flow?
You are certainly not alone in this scenario. Across India, many households and
small business owners are beginning to use the value of idle gold. Recent
market shifts have pushed gold loan
financing sharply higher, turning a traditional asset into a major source of
retail credit. For anyone facing a cash crunch, planning a business expense, or
trying to manage costly debt, understanding this shift has become important.

 

The
Mathematics Behind the Borrowing Boom

Why is there
a sudden, massive rush to monetise physical gold? The answer lies in the highly
profitable intersection of rising asset values and tightening unsecured credit
markets. When you evaluate the gold rate today,
it sits at historical, record-breaking highs. This upward trajectory means the
underlying value of your collateral has ballooned significantly. A few years
ago, 50 grams of gold might have fetched a modest sum to cover a minor
emergency; today, that exact same quantity unlocks deep capital reserves.
Lenders are now able to offer substantially more money against the exact same
asset, giving you unprecedented liquidity without forcing you to sell off your
precious family heirlooms.

 

Busting the
2026 Myths Around Pledging Gold

Despite the surging mainstream
popularity of secured lending, certain outdated misconceptions still hold
everyday decision-makers back. Clear the air with facts grounded in current
financial reality:

●     
Myth
1: Pledging assets means you are in severe financial distress.

o   Reality: Smart money utilizes secured credit to lower borrowing
costs. Small business owners and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)
are increasingly leveraging a gold loan as a strategic, everyday tool for
working capital because it is drastically cheaper and faster than securing a
traditional commercial loan.

●     
Myth
2: You risk losing your items over minor payment delays.

o   Reality: Regulated, organized lenders want your ongoing interest
payments, not your jewellery. Flexible repayment structures allow you to comfortably
pay just the interest during the loan tenure and settle the principal amount at
the very end.

●     
Myth
3: The borrowing rates are predatory.

o   Reality: Because the funds are fully secured by a highly liquid,
universally valued asset, the gold loan interest rate you receive is highly
competitive, because you are leveraging a high-value asset, your gold loan
interest rate is highly optimized, offering a much more efficient cost
structure than other high-interest borrowing options.

 

Why Gold is
the Most Efficient Liquidity Tool

In the current 2026 financial
landscape, the speed of capital is just as important as the capital itself.
Unlike other credit forms that require extensive documentation and credit
history checks, a gold loan is an asset-backed solution. This means the
approval is based on the value of the gold you hold, making it the fastest way
to bridge a gap in business cash flow or handle an urgent family requirement
without any end-use restrictions.

 

Why the
Right Financial Partner Matters

When you hand over your family&#039;s
most cherished assets or your business&#039;s safety net, trust is not just a
corporate buzzword; it is the entire foundation of the financial transaction.
You need a partner that perfectly combines institutional stability with
customer-centric flexibility. This is precisely why veteran financial advisors
often recommend prioritizing established, specialized networks over unorganized
local players. For instance, institutions like Muthoot Finance, one of India’s
largest gold loan providers, offer the distinct advantage of a massive
operational legacy. When dealing with an entity of this scale, your assets are
secured by institutional-grade protocols rather than treated as a quick,
informal transaction. With a formidable, regulated network of over 7,500
branches, their sheer operational scale translates directly into
state-of-the-art secure vaulting, specialized asset handling, and highly streamlined,
structured loan disbursal processes for you.

Furthermore,
relying on a regulated financial institution like Muthoot Finance completely
shields you from the opaque, often risky practices of unorganized local
lenders. Whether you require a quick micro-loan to bridge a medical emergency
or a high-value disbursement to stock up on seasonal business inventory, they
offer tailored schemes designed to provide loan options based on the prevailing
gold rate. Their long operating history offers borrowers institutional
reliability, that everyday borrowers and seasoned business owners can rely on
without a second thought.

 

Your Next
Financial Move

The massive 90% surge in secured
borrowing is a clear testament to an evolving, financially literate India that knows
exactly how to make its assets work efficiently. You possess the power to
access cheap, fast, and highly reliable credit without jumping through the
exhausting bureaucratic hoops of traditional banking.

Calculate
the estimated value of your idle jewellery, review the current gold loan interest rate, and evaluate how this injected capital could clear your
expensive debts or fund your next major business cycle. Step into a trusted
financial institution like Muthoot Finance to receive a secure, transparent
valuation today, because idle assets can support financial liquidity.

<title>With 150 Franchises and a Fully Integrated Infrastructure, Honeyman Redefines the Rs 4,000 Crore Indian Honey Market</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Gurugram,
India | March 2026  : India’s honey
market is witnessing a significant transformation, driven by rising health
awareness, increasing demand for natural sweeteners, and a shift away from
refined sugar. Industry estimates suggest that the domestic honey market is
poised to surpass INR 4,000 crore by 2027, fueled by growing consumer
preference for clean-label, nutrient-rich food products. At the forefront of
this evolution is Honeyman Foods Pvt. Ltd., a fast-emerging player redefining how India consumes honey and
honey-based products.

A
Sweet Shift Towards Healthier Living 
With lifestyle diseases and sugar-related health concerns on the rise, Indian
consumers are increasingly adopting honey as a natural alternative. Honey’s
well-documented benefits—ranging from immunity support to antioxidant
properties—have positioned it as a staple in modern wellness-focused
households. Capitalizing on this shift, Honeyman has built its brand around
100% pure, raw, and naturally sourced honey, directly procured from Indian
beekeepers to ensure quality and authenticity.

Strong
Legacy Meets Unprecedented Scale &amp; Infrastructure 
Backed by a legacy of beekeeping and honey production spanning generations,
Honeyman combines traditional expertise with modern processing and distribution
capabilities. The company sources honey from multiple regions across India,
including Punjab, Jammu &amp; Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar
Pradesh, ensuring a rich variety of flavors and floral origins.

Today,
Honeyman is rapidly expanding its offline presence through experiential retail
formats such as honey cafés and franchise outlets. Approaching 150 franchise
locations, the brand has set an aggressive mission to reach 1,000 stores globally
by the end of 2026. To seamlessly support this massive expansion, Honeyman has
built a formidable, self-sustaining operational engine. The company operates
its own state-of-the-art factory for in-house production and is powered by a
robust workforce of over 100 direct and indirect staff. This end-to-end
ecosystem includes dedicated, in-house teams for franchise development,
AI-driven marketing, daily operations, comprehensive support, and specialized
interior design. Additionally, its franchise-driven model is attracting
entrepreneurs looking to tap into the fast-growing health food segment.

Beyond
Honey: Building the &quot;World of Honeyman&quot; Ecosystem 
Unlike conventional brands that focus solely on packaged honey, Honeyman has
expanded into a diverse portfolio of honey-infused products. As part of the
broader &quot;World of Honeyman&quot; ecosystem, which features verticals like
Melifera beauty products and the Little Bee youth brand, the company offers a
wide range including:

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

<title>What Actually Makes a Good Holiday? Insights from 5,000+ Couples, Backed by 30 Sundays</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/what-actually-makes-a-good-holiday-insights-from-5000-couples-backed-by-30-sundays</link>

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

<title>Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate launches a new project at Santacruz East, Mumbai</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/shapoorji-pallonji-real-estate-launches-a-new-project-at-santacruz-east-mumbai</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/shapoorji-pallonji-real-estate-launches-a-new-project-at-santacruz-east-mumbai</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  

Mumbai,
March 23, 2026: Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate (SPRE), one of
India’s most trusted real estate developers, today announced the launch of Nine
Arcs, a premium residential development in Santacruz East, Mumbai.

Conceptualised
as a design-first address, Nine Arcs is a 14-storey residential tower
that introduces a distinctive architectural language inspired by European
neo-classical principles, reinterpreted for contemporary urban living. The
design draws from classical elements such as symmetry, proportion, and visual
rhythm, expressed through a modern lens to create a timeless and elegant
façade.

A
defining feature of the development is its signature curved elevation, shaped
by a series of expansive, thoughtfully designed decks that extend across
multiple residences. These spacious decks are not only functional outdoor
spaces but also integral architectural elements that collectively form the
project’s iconic arc silhouette—creating a sense of movement and depth while
offering residents a more immersive connection with the outdoors.

Spread
across approximately 0.5 acres, Nine Arcs will comprise 137 residential
units and 9 commercial units. The development offers 2- and 3-bed residences,
with sizes ranging from approximately 671 square feet to 1338 square feet, each
complemented by generous private decks that enhance natural light, ventilation,
and everyday comfort. 

The
commercial units range from approximately 217 square feet to 1401 square feet,
offering a curated mix of retail and convenience-led spaces. Residences are
priced from INR 2.99 crore onwards.

The
project also integrates curated ground-level retail, designed to provide
residents with everyday convenience while maintaining a seamless and private
residential experience.

Strategically
located in Santacruz East, one of Mumbai’s most centrally connected
micro-markets, Nine Arcs offers excellent access to key infrastructure,
including the Western Express Highway, Santacruz-Chembur Link Road, metro
connectivity, and close proximity to Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC)—the city’s
leading business hub. Its central positioning enables seamless connectivity to
both South Mumbai and the western suburbs, making it a highly attractive
residential destination for professionals and business leaders.

Commenting
on the launch, Mr Sriram Mahadeva, CEO of Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate and
MD of Joyville Shapoorji Housing, said, “With Nine Arcs, we are
introducing a development that brings together architectural distinction,
thoughtful design, and everyday functionality. Santacruz East continues to
emerge as a high-potential micro-market, driven by its central location and
strong demand from discerning homebuyers. Through this launch, we aim to offer
a living experience that reflects both aspiration and long-term value.&quot;

The
development will feature curated lifestyle amenities, thoughtfully designed
across the rooftop and podium levels. Designed to deliver a holistic lifestyle
experience, the project is anchored by a curated rooftop ecosystem that
includes an infinity-edge swimming pool, sky bar, rooftop jogging track,
multipurpose lawn, barbecue areas, kids’ play zones, and dedicated leisure
spaces, creating an elevated environment for relaxation and social engagement.

Santacruz
East has witnessed sustained residential demand, driven by its proximity to
BKC, established social infrastructure, and limited availability of
large-format branded developments. The micro-market continues to attract senior
professionals, entrepreneurs, and long-term investors, backed by healthy rental
yields and consistent capital appreciation.

With
Nine Arcs, SPRE further strengthens its presence in Mumbai’s premium
residential segment, continuing its legacy of delivering design-led,
well-connected and future-ready developments across high-potential urban
markets. 

During
this quarter, the company also launched four projects across key growth
markets, including MMR (Mulund, Thane), Pune, and Howrah.

About
Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate (SPRE) 

Shapoorji
Pallonji Real Estate is a well-regarded, reputed player in the Indian real
estate sector owing to its cutting-edge design innovation, construction
quality, and architectural excellence. It constitutes a significant segment of
the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, an enormous multi-business conglomerate. The
group has more than 160 years of legacy that bridges the earliest celebrated
structures of India and the modern marvels. SPRE has made inroads into most Indian
cities – Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Pune, Bengaluru, Gurugram, Howrah

opulent residences to aspirational homes for mid-income homebuyers, as well as
one of the largest mass housing projects in India. ]]></description>

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

<description><![CDATA[ In a landmark development for India’s
agricultural export sector, Root2Leaf Organic has successfully exported 5
metric tons of premium Makhana (fox nuts) from India to China, marking a
significant milestone in the international journey of one of India’s most
valued traditional superfoods.

The export represents a growing
global interest in plant‑based, nutrient‑rich foods and highlights the increasing
role of organized supply chains in connecting Indian farmers with international
markets.

The shipment was flagged off from the
Inland Container Depot (ICD), Bihar, in Patna, in the presence of Hon’ble
Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Ram Kripal Yadav. Senior officials
from APEDA (Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development
Authority), COFFED (Bihar State Fishermen Cooperative Federation Ltd.), and
representatives from the makhana industry ecosystem were also present during the
ceremony.

The consignment, packed in two
40‑foot Cube containers, carried export‑grade Makhana (fox nuts) destined for
China, reflecting the rising international demand for India’s clean‑label and
traditional food ingredients.

A Strategic Step for India’s Superfood Exports

Makhana, commonly known as fox nuts
or lotus seeds, has been cultivated for generations in the wetlands of Bihar.
The Mithila region — particularly districts such as Darbhanga, Madhubani,
Katihar, Supaul, Purnea, and Araria — is globally recognized as the primary
production hub for high‑quality makhana. The region accounts for nearly 90 per
cent of India’s total production, making it the backbone of the country’s
makhana industry.

Known for its bright whiteness, large
kernel size, and excellent popping quality, Mithila Makhana has earned a
reputation as a premium product among international buyers. Nutritionally,
makhana is rich in protein, fibre, and antioxidants while naturally low in fat,
making it increasingly popular among health‑conscious consumers seeking
nutritious and plant‑based snack options.

As global markets continue to shift
toward clean‑label foods and natural ingredients, makhana is emerging as a
promising contender in the global superfood category. Industry observers believe
that with the right supply chain infrastructure and export networks, India has
the potential to become a dominant player in the international fox nut market.

Root2Leaf Organic Driving Global Market Access

The export initiative was led by Root2Leaf Organic, a Gujarat‑based certified organic
company that focuses on developing global supply chains for India’s traditional
agricultural and wellness products. Over the years, Root2Leaf has built a
reputation for connecting farmers, sourcing partners, and processors with
international buyers while maintaining strong quality standards and responsible
sourcing practices.

The company works across multiple
categories, including Ayurvedic herbs, spices, wellness ingredients,
superfoods, and specialty agricultural commodities. Through its export network,
Root2Leaf currently supplies products to clients across more than ten
countries, providing services such as bulk ingredient supply, brand packaging,
and private labelling for international food brands.

By focusing on traceability, quality
standardization, product research, development and global market development,
Root2Leaf aims to position Indian‑origin natural products as premium offerings
in the international food and wellness industries.

The makhana export to China
represents one of the company’s ongoing efforts to expand the reach of India’s
traditional agricultural strengths in global markets.

Strengthening
the Farm‑to‑Export Ecosystem | MeraKisan India

A key aspect of the export project
was the establishment of a structured sourcing and logistics network that
connects farmers directly with export markets. For this initiative, Root2Leaf
worked closely with Mera Kisan India, a platform focused on organized sourcing
of makhana from Bihar’s producing regions.

Mera Kisan coordinated procurement
operations and supply chain management by working with farmer groups, local
aggregators, and processing units across Bihar. Among India’s growing community
of makhana exporters, MeraKisan is one of Bihar’s leading suppliers of fox nuts
(lotus seeds), serving international markets. Mera Kisan is a trusted B2B Supplier and
private-label partner for flavoured Makhana (Phool Makhana / Foxnuts), offering
25+ customizable flavour variants tailored for international snack markets.

This collaboration of farmers, Mera
Kisan Platform, which is associated with Root2Leaf Organic, helped streamline
the movement of export‑grade makhana from farms to processing centres and
ultimately to the export logistics chain.

Through this integrated approach,
Root2Leaf was able to build a reliable farm‑to‑export supply system by giving
digital platform or Mera Kisan to build a global connection that ensures
consistent product quality, traceability, and logistical efficiency — factors
that are increasingly important for international buyers.

Empowering Farmers and Rural Communities

For thousands of farmers across
Bihar’s wetland regions, makhana cultivation represents a vital source of
livelihood. Traditionally grown in ponds and water bodies, the crop requires
specialised knowledge and labour-intensive harvesting techniques that have been
preserved through generations of farming communities.

Expanding global demand for makhana has
the potential to significantly improve farmer incomes while stimulating
economic activity in rural areas. Industry experts believe that strengthening
export channels can encourage investment in processing infrastructure, quality
control systems, and farmer training programs across makhana‑producing
districts.

Industry Perspective

Commenting on the milestone, Dr Dipak
Patel, Managing Director of Root2Leaf Organic, emphasized the long‑term vision
behind the initiative.

“This export represents much more than
a shipment. It reflects the collective effort of farmers, sourcing partners,
and supply chain stakeholders who are working together to bring India’s
traditional superfoods to global consumers.

Our vision is to position Makhana
(fox nuts, also known as lotus seed) as a globally recognized premium superfood
while building sustainable supply chains that create long‑term value for
farmers. By connecting regional agricultural strengths with international
markets, we aim to strengthen India’s presence in the global health and
speciality food sector while creating new economic opportunities for rural
communities.”

India’s Opportunity in the Global Superfood Economy

The successful export of Makhana to
China signals India’s growing capacity to compete in the global speciality food
market. As consumer demand for natural, nutritious foods continues to rise,
traditional ingredients such as makhana are gaining attention from
international food brands and health‑focused retailers.

With GI recognition for Mithila Makhana,
improved quality control practices, and expanding exporter networks, the
industry is gradually transitioning from a traditional agricultural activity
into a structured global superfood sector.

Initiatives led by companies such as
Root2Leaf Organic demonstrate how organized sourcing, farmer collaboration, and
export expertise can transform regional agricultural products into globally
recognized food ingredients. As international awareness grows, Makhana is
poised to become one of India’s most promising agricultural exports in the
years ahead. ]]></description>

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

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

<description><![CDATA[ March
2026 : Tutorac, an IT-focused education technology
platform, has raised $500,000 in seed funding to expand its operations and
strengthen its position as a dedicated marketplace for IT training. The funding
will support product development, platform scaling, and wider global access to
technology education.

Positioned as a
specialized marketplace for IT learning, Tutorac is designed to connect tutors
and learners through a structured, technology-driven ecosystem. The platform
enables teachers, students, and working professionals to enroll in and deliver
industry-relevant IT courses, creating a direct channel between expert trainers

A
Dedicated Marketplace for IT Education

model, IT tutors can onboard onto the platform, create structured courses, and
deliver training via interactive digital tools. Learners can browse, compare,
and enroll in programs suited to their skill levels and career objectives. This
open marketplace approach encourages quality-driven competition among tutors
while giving learners greater choice and flexibility.

How
the Platform Works

The Tutorac platform is
built around a streamlined enrollment and course delivery system. Tutors
register, create course modules, and host live or structured sessions using
integrated digital infrastructure. The platform supports interactive
engagement, enabling real-time communication, progress tracking, and
performance feedback.

For learners, the
process is designed to be simple and accessible. Users can explore available IT
courses, review tutor profiles, and select programs that match their
professional goals. The system emphasizes practical, application-based learning
to ensure that training translates into real-world skills.

The platform also
functions as a bridge between independent trainers and a growing global learner
base. By aggregating IT expertise in a single marketplace, Tutorac creates
opportunities for knowledge exchange and scalable education delivery.

Funding
to Drive Platform Expansion

The $500,000 seed
investment will be used to enhance Tutorac’s technology infrastructure, improve
user experience, and expand its marketplace reach. Planned developments include
advanced course delivery features, platform optimization, and onboarding of a
broader network of IT tutors.

As demand for
specialized IT skills continues to rise, Tutorac aims to position itself as a
scalable hub for technology education. The company’s marketplace-driven model
focuses on accessibility, efficiency, and relevance, supporting continuous
upskilling for students and professionals alike.

With its recent funding
and expanding platform capabilities, Tutorac is set to accelerate its growth
and strengthen its role in delivering focused, industry-aligned IT education
through a dedicated digital marketplace.

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

<description><![CDATA[ ●       
Digitizes 75 substations with EcoStruxure™
Grid, reduces power interruption time by 30%, enabling smarter, safer and more
sustainable power distribution in Western Odisha

23rd
March 2026, New Delhi : Schneider Electric,
a global energy technology leader, has partnered with Tata Power Western
Odisha Distribution Limited (TPWODL), a joint venture between Tata Power
and the Government of Odisha, to modernize and digitize power distribution
infrastructure across Western Odisha. As part of this strategic engagement,
Schneider Electric has digitized 75 substations using its EcoStruxure™ Grid
architecture, enabling end-to-end visibility and intelligent control across the
distribution network. 

Serving
over 21 lakh customers across nine districts, TPWODL plays a critical role in
delivering safe, reliable, and uninterrupted electricity to the region. This
partnership has already resulted in a 30 percent reduction in power
interruption time, with a roadmap to achieve up to 70 percent improvement
through continued digital optimization. Consumers across Western Odisha are
already experiencing fewer outages, quicker restoration times, and more stable
voltage supply for homes and businesses.

Commenting
on the partnership, Deepak Sharma, Zone President- Greater India, MD &amp;
CEO, Schneider Electric India, said, “India’s power distribution sector
is at a pivotal inflection point where reliability, sustainability, and digital
intelligence must converge. Our partnership with Tata Power Western Odisha
Distribution Limited reflects how an energy technology leader like Schneider
Electric can help fundamentally transform utility operations. By deploying
EcoStruxure™ Grid and digitizing 75 substations through a standardized model,
we’ve enabled faster implementation, real-time network intelligence, and
measurable operational gains. This digital grid architecture is reducing
outages, enhancing transparency, and strengthening operational safety,
ultimately helping build a resilient, future‑ready distribution network that
supports India’s broader energy transition goals.”

As
ageing infrastructure and rising demand began to challenge grid reliability,
Schneider Electric partnered with TPWODL to reimagine how power distribution
networks must evolve in a more digital and electric world. The collaboration is
built on Schneider Electric’s digital grid architecture, combining advanced
SCADA systems, intelligent RTUs, protection relays, and centralized network
management platforms to deliver real-time visibility and control across
TPWODL’s distribution network. Deployed through a standardized, plug-and-play
framework, the solutions enable faster rollout, seamless integration across
substations and field infrastructure, and high operational continuity. This architecture-driven
approach allows TPWODL to shift from siloed, asset-centric operations to an
intelligent, data-led grid that improves reliability, enhances response times,
and creates a scalable foundation for future demand growth and renewable integration.

Talking
about the criticality of building resilient and digital first infrastructure,
Mr Anil Ojha, Chief Technical Services, Contract &amp; Store, Tata power
western Odisha distribution limited, said, “At Tata Power, our
commitment to the people of Western Odisha goes beyond supplying electricity,
we aim to strengthen quality of life, enable local growth, and build a more
resilient future for the region. Schneider Electric’s digital solutions are
helping us deliver on that commitment with greater speed and reliability. This
partnership is empowering our teams with modern tools, improving how we serve
our customers every day, and preparing our network to meet the rising
aspirations and energy needs of the communities we support.”

Beyond
operational efficiency, the modernization effort has also delivered
environmental benefits. By optimizing grid performance and reducing technical
losses, TPWODL has lowered its carbon footprint, reinforcing the role of
digitalization in advancing cleaner and more sustainable energy systems. The
upgraded infrastructure positions the utility to seamlessly accommodate future
load growth while enhancing transparency and service reliability.

<title>From a 45&#45;Year Pharma Legacy to India’s Most Trusted Derma Skincare Platform</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-a-45-year-pharma-legacy-to-indias-most-trusted-derma-skincare-platform</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/from-a-45-year-pharma-legacy-to-indias-most-trusted-derma-skincare-platform</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mumbai, March 21: Built on a
pharmaceutical legacy spanning over four decades, SKINLUV has emerged as a
dedicated platform for dermatologist-recommended skincare, aiming to simplify
how consumers access clinically trusted products online.

Founded by Mr.Pradeep Kinikar with roots in India’s
pharmaceutical supply chain since 1981, SKINLUV was launched in response
to a growing challenge faced by skincare consumers on mainstream e-commerce
marketplaces such as Amazon and Flipkart. Customers searching for specific
dermatologist-recommended products often encountered an overwhelming mix of
sponsored listings, bundled products, and similar alternatives, frequently
leading to confusion or incorrect purchases.

To address this gap, in 2018 
they launched skinluv.in a specialised platform designed to help
customers find exactly what their dermatologists recommend without
algorithm-driven distractions.

Leveraging long-standing relationships with dermatologists and an
established pharmaceutical distribution network, the platform was built on a
foundation of trust developed over more than 45 years in the industry.

Today, skinluv.in serves customers across India and also delivers internationally, with
exports reaching markets across Asia and Africa.

Focus on Clean, Plant-Based Skincare

At the core of SKINLUV’s philosophy is the belief that skincare
products should be developed with the same level of care as pharmaceutical
formulations.

The company’s proprietary product range is positioned around
plant-based clean beauty, with formulations developed in consultation with
dermatologists and designed to avoid unnecessary synthetic ingredients. The
brand emphasises pharmaceutical-grade sourcing and dermatology-backed product
development rather than trend-driven formulations.

This approach has earned SKINLUV recognition as one of the Top 10
Plant-Based Startups in India by the publication Industry Outlook.

Bringing Korean Skincare to India

SKINLUV has also built partnerships with Korean skincare manufacturers
to introduce popular K-Beauty products to Indian consumers. The company says
its sourcing model focuses on authenticity and verified supply chains in a
market often affected by grey imports and unverified listings.

The offering is particularly targeted at younger consumers who follow
global skincare trends.

Launch of SUNBLOOM Sunscreen

Expanding its proprietary product lineup, SKINLUV has introduced SUNBLOOM,
an SPF 50 PA+++ invisible sunscreen formulated in consultation with
dermatologists.

The sunscreen provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection and is
enriched with ingredients including niacinamide and calendula. It also
incorporates Galshield UV Care Plus from TRI-K Industries in the United States.

According to the company, the product is designed to deliver
lightweight protection without white cast or stickiness while supporting
hydration, oil balance, and skin barrier protection.

The formulation is non-comedogenic and free from parabens and alcohol,
and is positioned as suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone skin.

Long-Term Approach to Growth

Unlike many direct-to-consumer brands that rely heavily on short-term
trends or influencer-led marketing cycles, SKINLUV says its growth strategy is
built on long-standing industry relationships and a pharmaceutical-grade supply
chain infrastructure developed over decades.

The company aims to continue expanding access to
dermatologist-recommended skincare while maintaining a clinically driven
approach to product development. ]]></description>

<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/sohum-linen-sees-huge-response-at-aahar-2026-announces-two-major-launches</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ NEW DELHI, March 21, 2026: Sohum Linen, a leading innovator in premium hotel linen solutions, is
proud to announce its monumental success at the recently concluded Aahar
Exhibition, held at Pragati Maidan from March 10th - 14th, 2026. The event
served as a high-octane stage for the company to showcase its market dominance,
innovative product engineering, and aggressive expansion strategy.

A Landmark Response at Aahar
2026

The Sohum Linen pavilion became a central hub for
hoteliers, institutional buyers, and industry leaders throughout the five-day
event. The overwhelming response underscored a shifting market demand toward
quality and durability.

The exhibition was a resounding triumph for Sohum
Linen, with visitors thronging their booth to experience the company&#039;s
commitment to quality and innovation. “Aahar has been a game-changer for us,”
said Rounak (Sohum Linen Founder). “The super successful response underscores
our position as a fast-growing leader in the linen industry, fueling our
expansion across India.”

Innovation in Every Thread: The
Trademarked White Series

The highlight of the exhibition was the official
launch of Sohum Linen’s latest innovative range of trademarked white fabrics.
Specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of the hospitality and
institutional sectors, these three tiers are designed to outlast and
outperform any standard fabric on the market:

     a crisp, professional aesthetic for high-turnover environments.

     longevity, providing a superior tactile experience for guests.

     technology, featuring enhanced resistance to wear and industrial
     laundering. 




These collections represent a significant leap
forward in textile science, ensuring that hotels can maintain a “like-new”
appearance for significantly longer cycles than traditional linens.

“The energy at Aahar this year was electric,” said
a spokesperson for Sohum Linen. “The feedback from our partners and new
visitors confirms that the industry is no longer satisfied with ‘generic&#039;. They
are looking for textiles that offer a competitive edge, and we proved that
Sohum Linen is the brand providing exactly that.”

Scaling New Heights: The Narela
Logistics Hub

In a move to solidify its footprint in the region,
Sohum Linen also announced the launch of its brand-new 25,000-square-foot
warehouse facility located in the Narela region, near Delhi.

This strategic investment is a direct response to
the company’s rapid growth. The new facility will serve as a central nerve
center for the Northern Indian market, ensuring:


 Faster turnaround times with
     reduced shipping windows for clients in Delhi-NCR and neighboring states. 
 Enhanced inventory depth with
     immediate availability of the new Essential, Advantage, and ProCare
     ranges. 
 Efficient supply chain management to
     meet high-volume demands of major hotel chains. 


A Future of Rapid Growth

Sohum Linen’s performance at Aahar 2026 is a
testament to its trajectory. With a combination of cutting-edge product
development and a robust physical infrastructure, the company is positioned as
a leader in the Indian textile landscape. As Sohum Linen continues to grow at a
record-breaking pace, its commitment remains the same: delivering fabrics that
set the standard for excellence.

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

<title>alt.f coworking Expands Hyderabad With Gachibowli Launch</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/altf-coworking-expands-hyderabad-with-gachibowli-launch</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/altf-coworking-expands-hyderabad-with-gachibowli-launch</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ HYDERABAD : alt.f coworking,
featured on Shark Tank India Season 4, is opening its newest centre at
Meenakshi Tech Park, Gachibowli on April 15, 2026. The 775-seat space is
alt.f’s most extravagant Hyderabad property yet, built specifically for small
business teams who assumed that this quality of office was simply out of their
budget.

Built Around the Real Problems Founders Face

Finding the right office in Gachibowli is
time-consuming, expensive, and full of friction. Once a space is found, fit-out
costs, security deposits, and infrastructure setup can run into tens of lakhs
before the first day of work. And then come the monthly overheads -
electricity, maintenance, internet, and facility management that quietly erode margins
and create financial unpredictability for growing teams.

alt.f removes all of this. Move-in ready
offices. Zero setup costs. One transparent monthly fee that covers everything.
For a team of 15 or 40, that clarity is worth more than the square footage.

The Space

Meenakshi Tech Park is designed around a European aesthetic, warm
materials, considered lighting, and an atmosphere that is polished without being
corporate. The inventory is built around fully enclosed private cabins for
teams of 15 to 50, giving every member organisation its own dedicated, lockable
space. Lounge areas, a members’ café, enterprise-grade Wi-Fi, and a
professional hospitality team round out an experience that feels exclusive from
day one.

“Gachibowli’s small
businesses have been working out of spaces that don’t reflect their quality.
Meenakshi Tech Park changes that. A 20-person company should walk into an
office that makes them proud, not one they’ve settled for.”

— Yogesh Arora,
Co-founder, alt.f coworking

alt.f in Hyderabad

The Gachibowli centre joins alt.f’s existing
Hyderabad locations in the Financial District and Begumpet. Two more centres in
HITECH City are confirmed for launch before the end of 2026, making alt.f the
most accessible premium workspace network for small businesses across
Hyderabad’s key business corridors.

Pre-Launch Offer: 30 Days Rent-Free

Businesses that book before April 15 receive
their first 30 days rent-free. To schedule a visit or reserve a cabin, contact
the alt.f Hyderabad team at www.altfcoworking.com or call +91
9958500731.

About alt.f coworking

alt.f coworking is India’s leading flexible
workspace brand for small business teams of 6 to 40 people, founded in 2016 by
Yogesh Arora and Sarthak Chhabra. Featured on Shark Tank India Season 4, alt.f
operates 18+ centres across Gurgaon, Delhi, Noida, and Hyderabad, with upcoming locations in Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, and Chennai. ]]></description>

<title>Adi Karnataka Royal Sub&#45;Clans and Category 2A OBC Status: Reclaiming Karnataka’s True Warrior Heritage</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/adi-karnataka-royal-sub-clans-and-category-2a-obc-status-reclaiming-karnatakas-true-warrior-heritage</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/adi-karnataka-royal-sub-clans-and-category-2a-obc-status-reclaiming-karnatakas-true-warrior-heritage</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The
history of Adi Karnataka’s royal sub-clans is not a forgotten narrative.
It is a legacy deeply preserved in Karnataka’s temples, inscriptions, and
copper plates. Long before colonial classifications, these communities held
positions of power, authority, and honor as Samantas, warrior-lords, and regional
rulers across the Deccan.

Today,
this historical identity continues to receive formal acknowledgment through
their classification under OBC Category 2A in Karnataka’s backward class
reservation framework. This recognition is not new. It is a continuation of a
legacy that has always existed.

Adi Karnataka
Community: Understanding the Full Context

The
Adi Karnataka community is officially listed under the depressed
class in Karnataka. While this classification is part of modern
administrative records, it does not fully represent the internal diversity of
the community.

What
is often overlooked is that:

●     
Certain main sub-clans within Adi Karnataka
are recognized under OBC Category 2A

●     
These sub-clans trace their lineage to Samantha
Adi Karnataka (right wing) and Kshatriya warrior traditions

●       
Their historical identity is rooted in
governance, military leadership, and land ownership

●       
The SC classification emerged during colonial
rule and does not fully reflect pre-colonial social structures

Understanding
this distinction is essential for accurate historical and legal awareness.

Samanta Adi Karnataka:
The Warrior-Ruler Legacy of Karnataka

The
term Samanta Adi Karnataka represents a powerful identity in Karnataka’s
medieval history. Samantas were not ordinary subjects. They were feudal
lords, military commanders, and regional administrators who played a
crucial role in sustaining major empires like Vijayanagara.

These
warrior elites:

●       
Governed territories under imperial authority

●       
Led armies in regional and large-scale
military campaigns

●     
Received land grants and royal seals as
marks of trust

●     
Built and supported temples as part of their dharmic
responsibilities

●       
Delivered justice and maintained order within
their regions

This
positions Adi Karnataka’s royal sub-clans firmly within the Kshatriya
tradition of governance and warfare.

Recognition Beyond
Karnataka: A Broader National Context

The
recognition of warrior-based communities as OBC groups is not unique to
Karnataka. Across India, similar historical communities have been acknowledged
within backward class frameworks:

●     
In Odisha, Samantha communities are
classified as dominant OBC groups with royal lineage

●     
In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, comparable
warrior communities fall under higher OBC categories

●     
Karnataka’s Category 2A classification
aligns with this broader national pattern of recognizing historically
influential but socially reclassified communities

This
demonstrates that the classification of Adi Karnataka’s royal sub-clans is
consistent with pan-Indian administrative and historical understanding.

Empires That Shaped and
Were Shaped by Adi Karnataka

Adi
Karnataka’s historical presence is reflected across several major South Indian
dynasties. These empires relied heavily on regional chieftains and
administrative networks for expansion and governance.

1. Kadamba
Dynasty

Recognized
as one of Karnataka’s earliest ruling dynasties, the Kadambas established
foundational governance systems. Communities rooted in the region, including
early Adi Karnataka lineages, formed part of this evolving social structure.

2. Western
Ganga Kingdom

The
Gangas ruled large parts of southern Karnataka and depended on feudal lords
(Samantha Adi Karnatakas) for decentralized governance.

3.
Rashtrakuta Empire

A
dominant power in early medieval India, the Rashtrakutas governed vast
territories through a network of loyal regional elites and military
commanders.

4. Hoysala
Dynasty

Known
for its architectural brilliance, the Hoysalas also relied on local
administrative elites who contributed to both governance and temple
patronage.

5.
Vijayanagara Empire

One
of the most powerful empires in South Indian history, Vijayanagara’s strength
lay in its military organization and regional governance system,
supported by numerous Samantha chieftains.

Colonial
Reclassification and Its Long-Term Impact

During
British rule, caste classifications underwent significant restructuring through
census operations. Many communities with martial, administrative, and
landholding backgrounds were reclassified under “depressed classes”
for their selfish administrative purposes, when they could not control and rule
over the people of sub south Karnataka they imposed this rule for classifying
the kshatriyan ruling communities

This
shift resulted in:

●       
Loss of traditional identity and status

●       
Disruption of land ownership and governance
structures

●       
Administrative labeling that did not reflect
historical realities

The
inclusion of Adi Karnataka under SC must be understood within this colonial
context, while the recognition of royal sub-clans under OBC Category 2A
reflects a gradual effort toward historical correction and social balance.

The
main quote to understand from this is that Adi Karnataka people are not
Shudras. They are Kshatriyas

Category 2A OBC Status:
Legal Recognition of Historical Identity

The
OBC Category 2A classification given to Adi Karnataka’s royal sub-clans
is a significant acknowledgment by the Karnataka government. It reflects:

●     
Recognition of distinct social and
historical identity

●     
Acceptance of warrior and administrative
lineage

●     
Inclusion within the backward class
benefits framework based on current socio-economic realities

This
dual recognition highlights the complexity of caste classification in India,
where history, policy, and social structure intersect.

Conclusion: A Legacy
That Endures

The
story of Adi Karnataka’s royal sub-clans is not one of rediscovery, but of reaffirmation.
Their identity as Samantas, warriors, and regional rulers remains
embedded in Karnataka’s cultural and historical fabric.

While
administrative classifications have evolved over time, the recognition under OBC
Category 2A reinforces a key truth:
their legacy was never erased, only redefined.

For
families belonging to these sub-clans, this recognition represents both historical
continuity and modern validation — a bridge between Karnataka’s past and
its present social framework. ]]></description>

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

<title>Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for Long Term Smooth Skin | EaseMyCure</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/benefits-of-laser-hair-removal-for-long-term-smooth-skin-easemycure</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/benefits-of-laser-hair-removal-for-long-term-smooth-skin-easemycure</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Laser hair removal
benefits makes it a popular choice for anyone who is seeking long-term smooth
skin. This advanced procedure uses focused light technology to reduce unwanted
hair effectively and safely.

Countless individuals
tire of daily shaving, painful waxing, or messy creams. These traditional
approaches often cause skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and ongoing maintenance.
Laser hair removal treatment provides a reliable alternative. It targets hair
at the root for permanent hair reduction and delivers noticeably smoother
results over time.

What Is Laser Hair
Removal Treatment?

Laser hair removal
treatment includes a concentrated beam of light. The light targets melanin
pigment in the hair. This pigment absorbs the energy and converts it into heat,
that heat damages the hair follicle without harming nearby skin. This process
work on the principle of selective photothermolysis. It selectively injures the
follicle while sparing surrounding tissue.

Experts describe the
outcome as permanent hair reduction. It significantly slows or stops hair
regrowth rather than guaranteeing complete elimination forever. Most people
achieve major improvements after a series of sessions. Traditional lasers
worked best on dark hair and light skin due to contrast. Modern devices,
including diode, alexandrite, and Nd:YAG lasers are now treat a broader range
of skin tones safely and effectively.

How Laser Hair Removal
Achieves Long-Term Smooth Skin?

Hair grows in three
main phases: anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), and telogen
(resting). The laser effectively targets follicles during the anagen phase.
Since hairs cycle at different times, multiple sessions must be required.
Treatments typically occur every 4–6 weeks to capture new growth phases.

A standard course
involves 6–8 sessions. Each treatment progressively weakens more follicles.
Regrowth appears finer, lighter, and much less dense. Many enjoy long-term
smooth skin for months or years with only occasional touch-ups. This method
outperforms temporary solutions. Shaving cuts, the hair at the surface, while
waxing removes it from the root which allows quick regrowth.

Top Benefits of Laser
Hair Removal

Laser hair removal
delivers clear, science-backed advantages. Explore the key ones below.


 Permanent Hair Reduction for Lasting
     Results


The best option is
permanent hair reduction. Clinical studies reports that 70–90% hair reduction
in many cases after full treatment. Some areas, like underarms or bikini zones,
can reach up to 90–95% reduction. When regrowth happens, it stays minimal and
softer. You can gain long-term smooth skin free from daily concerns. This makes
laser hair removal treatment a smart and enduring option for the treatment.


 Precision Targeting for Superior Outcomes


Lasers techniques are
selectively focus on dark and coarse hairs. They mainly leave rest of the skin
unaffected. This precision minimizes risks and side effects. It works on small
areas like the upper lip or larger zones like legs and back. 


 Smoother Skin Without Common Irritation


Shaving frequently
causes razor bumps, nicks, and stubble. Waxing often leads to redness and
painful ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal treatment greatly reduces ingrown
hairs. It eliminates repeated trauma to the skin surface. Treated skin feels
softer, looks clearer, and heals healthier. No more constant bumps or
post-removal redness.


 Time-Saving Convenience in Daily Life


The shaving process
steals minutes every day. and axing demands salon visits every few weeks. Laser
sessions progress quickly. An upper lip takes under a minute. Larger areas like
legs finish in under an hour. After completing treatments, you reclaim
significant time. 


 Cost-Effective Over the Long Term


Initial sessions cost
more than basic razors or wax kits. The full courses can vary by area and
location. Savings build rapidly over time. It eliminates continuous expenses
for blades, gels, creams, or professional waxing. Many discover that laser hair removal treatment pays
for itself within a few years through reduced upkeep costs. You can compare
verified clinic pricing directly on EaseMyCure before booking your sessions.


 Minimal Discomfort and Zero Downtime


The modern lasers
create a mild sensation and often compared to a rubber band snap. The cooling
systems majorly built on the devices which enhance comfort. Most people handle
sessions well with little pain. Topical numbing creams which used in the
treatment, helps sensitive areas if needed. Mild redness or swelling may appear
briefly. These effects fade within hours. You can easily return to your work,
exercise, or social plans immediately. 


 Enhanced Confidence and Broad Versatility


The smooth and
hair-free skin increases self-esteem significantly. You can wear any clothing
style without hesitation. The treatment can be applied to different areas of
the body: face, underarms, legs, arms, bikini line, chest, back, and more. You
experience greater comfort and flexibility in everyday activities and outfits.

Why Choose Laser Over
Traditional Methods?

Traditional options are
often disappointed in comparison.

●       
Shaving — Convenient but daily. It causes
frequent irritation, cuts, and quick stubble regrowth.

●       
Waxing — It can only last for few weeks with
painful process. It frequently triggers ingrown hairs and skin sensitivity.

●       
Depilatory Creams — Easy application but
chemical-based. They risk irritation, burns, or allergic reactions.

●       
Tweezing/Threading — It is accurate for small
spots but they become impractical and time-intensive for larger areas.

Laser hair removal
treatment cross these alternatives. These treatment combines permanent hair
reduction, precision, and healthier skin outcomes.

What to Expect During
Treatment?

Start your journey
towards flawless skin through professional where they evaluates your skin type,
hair colour, and health history. You should avoid sun exposure and self-tanners
for weeks beforehand. Also shave the area the day before but avoid plucking or
waxing.

During the session,
wear protective eyewear. The provider cleans the skin and may apply cooling
gel. The laser delivers quick pulses across the zone. You feel brief warmth or
snaps. Sessions range from minutes to under an hour, depending on area size.

Post-treatment, apply
soothing products. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Follow guidelines: skip
hot baths, saunas, or intense exercise for 24–48 hours.

Booking through
EaseMyCure ensures that your consultation is conducted by certified
professionals with modern laser technology suited to your skin type.

Potential Side Effects
and Safety Considerations

Most side effects
remain mild and temporary. Common ones include brief redness, swelling, or
sensitivity. Rare issues involve pigment changes, blistering, or crusting.
These occur more often with improper technique or sun exposure post-treatment.

Adverse events stay low
overall when performed by qualified providers. Modern lasers improve safety for
diverse skin tones. Choose experienced clinics to reduce risks significantly.

Is Laser Hair Removal
Right for You?

Most healthy adults
qualify for treatment. It generally suits to various body areas and skin types
today. Ideal candidates feature darker hair and lighter to medium skin.
Advanced devices expand suitability.

Individual factors like
hormones and genetics influence final results. Consistency with sessions
maximizes outcomes. Seek personalized guidance from a specialist.

<title>Built on Service, Trust and Quality: How Alpex Pharma Became the Manufacturing Partner Pharma Brands Rely On</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/built-on-service-trust-and-quality-how-alpex-pharma-became-the-manufacturing-partner-pharma-brands-rely-on</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/built-on-service-trust-and-quality-how-alpex-pharma-became-the-manufacturing-partner-pharma-brands-rely-on</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ With
a multi-certified, multi-division manufacturing infrastructure and an
established presence across domestic and international markets, Alpex Pharma is
setting a new benchmark for what third-party pharmaceutical manufacturing
should look like in India.

INDIA : The Indian pharmaceutical industry stands at a defining moment. Domestic
demand is surging, regulatory standards are tightening, and Indian-made
medicines are earning growing respect in markets across Asia, Africa, and
beyond. At the centre of this transformation is a quiet but powerful engine —
the contract manufacturer. And few have positioned themselves for this moment
as deliberately, or as decisively, as Alpex Pharma.

Under
the leadership of Director Shubham Mittal, Alpex Pharma has built a manufacturing
organisation that bears none of the hallmarks of a conventional contract
facility. It operates with the systems, the certifications, the infrastructure,
and the service philosophy of an enterprise that was designed from the outset
to support pharma brands at scale — domestically and globally.

A Manufacturing
Organisation Built for Regulated Markets

At
the foundation of Alpex Pharma’s operations is a quality infrastructure that
meets and exceeds the standards of the world’s most demanding pharmaceutical
regulatory frameworks. The company holds WHO-GMP, GMP, GLP, and Ghana-GMP
certifications — the gold standard combination for manufacturers supplying both
India’s domestic market and regulated international markets.

The
addition of Ghana-GMP accreditation signals something beyond compliance. It
reflects a strategic commitment to international manufacturing standards and
demonstrates that Alpex Pharma’s quality systems have been independently
verified against the requirements of export-destination regulators — not just
domestic ones. For brand partners with global ambitions, this distinction
matters enormously.

Global
Reach Through Strategic Partnerships

Alpex
Pharma enables pharma brands to access international markets through
established neutral code manufacturing partnerships — producing under partner
brand identities across multiple geographies. This infrastructure allows brand
owners to expand globally without the capital investment of building their own
international supply chain.

Specialist Divisions.
Enterprise-Grade Separation.

One
of the clearest indicators of a manufacturer’s true capability is not its
equipment list — it is how it organises itself. Alpex Pharma operates across
three dedicated, fully separated manufacturing divisions, each purpose-built
for its product category with the infrastructure, containment protocols, and
compliance architecture it demands.

●     
General Division : Tablets,
capsules across a broad therapeutic range, serving domestic and export markets
with full GMP compliance.

●     
Beta-Lactam Division : Dedicated
Beta-Lactam manufacturing with full containment, regulatory separation and
specialist protocols for sensitive antibiotic classes.

●     
Cephalosporin Division : Isolated
Cephalosporin production infrastructure meeting the highest standards of
cross-contamination prevention and regulatory compliance.

This
level of divisional separation is not common among Indian contract
manufacturers. It reflects an investment in doing things properly — the kind of
structural commitment that enterprise pharma clients, institutional buyers, and
international regulators look for when evaluating a manufacturing partner for
the long term.

“Quality
is not a stage in our production process. It is the architecture of eveAlpexng
we build — every division, every system, every client relationship.”
— Shubham Mittal, Director, Alpex Pharma

The Standard That Sets
Alpex Pharma Apart

What
distinguishes Alpex Pharma in a crowded contract manufacturing landscape is not
any single certification or facility specification. It is the consistent
experience of every brand that works with the company — an experience defined
by reliability, transparency, and a service culture that treats each client’s
business as seriously as its own.

Alpex
Pharma’s account management model is built on dedicated partnerships. Brand
owners are not passed between teams or managed through a generic helpdesk. They
work with a dedicated team that understands their product portfolio, their
market, their regulatory requirements, and their commercial timelines — and is
accountable for all of it. Production scheduling is built around the client’s
launch windows and distribution cycles. And delivery commitments, once made,
are treated as non-negotiable.

This
is the operational definition of service, trust and quality — not as corporate
values on a wall, but as the daily practice of a manufacturing organisation
that has built its entire reputation on them. It is also precisely why Alpex Pharma
has become the top third-party manufacturer of choice for pharma brands across
India and international markets.

“We
do not want to be the largest manufacturer in the room. We want to be the most
trusteAlpex PharmaIndia’s that every brand in our portfolio would recommend
without hesitation.”
— Shubham Mittal, Director, Alpex Pharma India’s Pharma Ambition Needs
Partners Like This

India’s
contract manufacturing sector is undergoing a generational shift. The brands
emerging from this market are more sophisticated, more globally ambitious, and
more discerning about their supply chain partners than any previous generation.
They are not looking for the cheapest option. They are looking for the most
reliable one — a manufacturing partner whose quality systems, international
credentials, service culture, and operational discipline can match their own
ambitions and protect their brand as they grow.

Alpex
Pharma has positioned itself squarely in that space. Not as a commodity
contract manufacturer competing on price, but as a quality-led enterprise
competing on performance. With internationally recognised certifications,
enterprise-grade divisional infrastructure, established global export pathways,
and a service philosophy rooted in genuine partnership, the company represents
a new standard for what third-party pharmaceutical manufacturing can and should
be in India.

The
pharmaceutical brands that choose Alpex Pharma are not simply outsourcing
production. They are gaining a manufacturing partner with the capability, the
credentials, and the commitment to grow with them — wherever that growth takes
them.

About
Alpex Pharma

Alpex
Pharma is a leading third-party pharmaceutical manufacturer based in India,
holding WHO-GMP, GMP, GLP, and Ghana-GMP certifications. Operating across three
specialist divisions — General, Beta-Lactam, and Cephalosporin — the company
serves pharma brands in domestic and international markets with a commitment to
quality, reliability, and partnership. For more information, visit

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

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

<title>Rustomjee Enters Parel Extension with Vista Bay, a ~₹900 Cr GDV Development in Eastern Mumbai</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Rustomjee
Enters Parel Extension with Vista Bay, a ~₹900 Cr GDV Development in Eastern
Mumbai

Mumbai,
18 March, 2026 : Rustomjee Group, one of Mumbai’s
leading real estate developers, has announced the launch of its new premium
gated residential estate in Parel Extension - Rustomjee Vista Bay, marking
its entry into a rapidly transforming seafront micro-market. The
development is shaped by large-scale infrastructure upgrades, including the
connector roadways and upcoming metro connectivity, which are redefining
accessibility and long-term value in the precinct. Planned as a low-density,
gated residential community, it addresses growing demand from affluent
homebuyers and investors seeking the prestige of a South Mumbai address
combined with evolving urban lifestyle.

Set
on a 1.52-acre land parcel, the Rustomjee Vista Bay comprises approximately
200 exclusive residences across a single tower with two wings, offering
spacious 2 and 3 BHK homes ranging from 805 sq. ft. to 1,356 sq. ft.
Designed for discerning homeowners who value privacy and long-term value, the
development features only four residences per core, generous
3.15-metre ceiling heights, and carefully planned layouts that ensure abundant
natural light, cross-ventilation and a strong sense of seclusion.

The
project offers dual-aspect views, capturing the Eastern seaboard and Mumbai’s
skyline, while its three-tiered amenity experience at the ground level,
elevated deck and rooftop has been carefully curated to elevate everyday
living. Highlights include a temperature-controlled, infinity-edge swimming
pool overlooking the eastern harbour, wellness and leisure spaces, and social
zones that encourage community without compromising privacy.



Positioned
at the intersection of legacy and rising potential, Parel Extension is fast
emerging as South Mumbai’s most compelling residential destination. With
infrastructure catalysts such as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (Atal Setu),
Sewri–Worli Elevated Connector, Orange gate Tunnel and Metro Line 11, residents
will enjoy seamless connectivity to BKC, Lower Parel, Fort, Navi Mumbai and the
Navi Mumbai International airport, transforming everyday commute and long-term
liveability.

Speaking
on the launch, Mr. Boman Irani, Chairman and Managing Director, Rustomjee
Group, said, “Urban growth in Mumbai has historically
followed infrastructure, and we believe the eastern edge of South Mumbai is
entering that phase of transition as connectivity and access across the city
continue to improve. Vista Bay marks our presence in Parel Extension at a time
when the neighbourhood is beginning to see renewed residential interest. With
this project, the focus has been on creating a residential development that is
measured in scale and disciplined in its planning, with efficient layouts and a
clear emphasis on liveability. In a city like Mumbai, we believe these
fundamentals ultimately determine the long-term relevance and value of a
residential development, while shaping neighbourhoods that grow in a more
considered and sustainable manner.”

Designed
by Sanjay Puri Architects, with landscaping by Newarch LLP and interiors by
Ashleys, the development reflects Rustomjee’s longstanding philosophy of
design-led, community-first living. Every element from thoughtful space
planning to amenity placement has been carefully considered to deliver both
immediate comfort and enduring value.

Parel
Extension is poised to become a defining address for those seeking exclusivity,
connectivity and long-term equity in a transforming neighbourhood, offering a
rare opportunity for buyers who may have missed earlier entry points into
Worli, Prabhadevi or Lower Parel to now secure a foothold in South Mumbai&#039;s
next growth corridor. This underscores Rustomjee&#039;s commitment to shaping
Mumbai&#039;s residential landscape with integrity, foresight and enduring purpose.

About Rustomjee Group: Incorporated in 1995, Keystone Realtors Limited is one of the
prominent MMR based real estate developers and a leader in the redevelopment
space. The company has a substantial portfolio of projects spanning the Mumbai

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

<title>Form 1A Medical Certificate: What Drivers Need to Know About Driving Licence Rules in India</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/form-1a-medical-certificate-what-drivers-need-to-know-about-driving-licence-rules-in-india</link>

<description><![CDATA[ A
Detailed Guide to Form 1A Medical Fitness Certificate Requirements,
Understanding Medical Fitness Rules, Parivahan Guidelines, and Online
Certification Options

Bangalore,
India, March 18, 2026 : Are you renewing your driving licence or
looking to upgrade to an international driving licence on the Parivahan portal?
Everything seems easy and straightforward, and then suddenly the portal asks
for a Medical Certificate Form 1A. At that moment, many drivers across India
take a pause and ask the same question: What exactly is Form 1A, and where do I
get it?

Every
year, millions of Indian drivers apply for new driving licences, existing Form
1A for driving licence renewal, international driving permits, or transport
licences encounter this hurdle. While the Form 1A driving licence document in
itself is very simple, confusion often arises around who can issue the
certificate. Whether a private doctor can issue a Form 1A certificate, what is
the eligibility for a faceless driving licence service, how to upload the Form
1A digitally, whether a digital Form 1A is required or a physical Form 1A copy
is necessary, rules can vary across different Regional Transport Offices (RTOs).
With too much information available online and usually too much misguidance
given by brokers and clerks to charge a large chunk of money for a simple
process, the drivers often end up being more confused than ever. 

India’s
digital licensing system processes an enormous number of applications every
year, and the exact numbers continue to grow as more states shift to digital
licensing workflows. According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways,
the National Sarathi and Parivahan platforms maintain records of more than 23
crore driving licences and have processed over 32 crore licence-related
transactions across the country. With such a large licensing ecosystem in
India, documentation requirements like Form 1A medical certificate for driving
licence can affect a significant number of applicants each year.

According
to Parul Pandey, COO, MedicalCertificate.in,
lack of clarity around the Form 1A Fitness Certificate is one of the most
common issues drivers face during licence applications.

“The
Form 1A medical certificate itself is not complicated, but the process of
obtaining it often becomes confusing for drivers,” Pandey explains. “The Form
1A requires certification about your hearing, visibility, and physical
capabilities to drive a motor vehicle. Different states follow slightly
different verification practices, and at times, the formats may also differ.
Many applicants are often unsure whether or not an RTO-empanelled doctor is
required for their Form 1A, and some only realise the requirement after
reaching the final stage of their licence application on the Parivahan portal.
Our goal at MedicalCertificate.in is
to simplify this process by offering a one-stop solution to obtain a valid Form
1A certificate from RTO approved doctor, for everyone. We not only connect
drivers with government-licensed medical practitioners through a structured
digital workflow but also help with online hearing and vision assessment, so
the certification is backed by proper and genuine information.”

As
digital driving licence services continue to expand across major Indian cities
such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Bhubaneswar, and Gurgaon, the application process has become more
streamlined through the Parivahan portal. However, this shift has also made
documentation requirements like the Form 1A medical certificate more visible at
critical stages of the application journey. For many applicants, the challenge
is no longer accessing the service, but understanding when Form 1A is required,
what format is acceptable, and how to obtain it correctly from a registered
medical practitioner. At its core, Form 1A is a medical fitness certificate
that plays a key role in determining a driver’s eligibility within the
licensing framework.

What
Is Form 1A in Driving License?

Form
1A is a medical fitness certificate required for certain driving licence
applications in India. It confirms that the applicant meets basic health
standards such as vision, hearing, and physical ability to drive safely.

Form
1A is issued by a registered medical practitioner after a basic health
evaluation. The doctor may examine eyesight, hearing ability, physical
coordination, and overall fitness required to operate a motor vehicle safely

It
is issued by a government-registered doctor after checking your overall health.
The doctor may examine things like your eyesight, hearing, body strength, and
mental alertness. This certificate is important because it makes sure that
drivers are physically and mentally fit to drive safely on the road. This
requirement comes from the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and the Central Motor
Vehicles Rules (CMVR), which allow transport authorities to ensure that drivers
using public roads are medically capable of operating a vehicle safely.

The
medical check for Form 1A is not a complicated health test. The doctor usually
checks a few important things that affect driving, such as vision, the ability
to recognise traffic signal colours, hearing ability, and overall physical
coordination needed to control a vehicle. Once the doctor completes the
evaluation, they sign the certificate and mention their medical registration
number, which allows the Regional Transport Office (RTO) to verify the doctor
if required.

If
you are looking for a Form 1A format for your own state, then you can visit  https://parivahan.gov.in,
the Government of India’s Parivahan portal, which manages driving licence
services across the country, and select your state. The format is usually
available for anyone to download. 

Who
Needs Form 1A and When Is Form 1A Asked For?

Form
1A does not appear in every licence application. Instead, it usually becomes
relevant in specific situations where the licensing authority wants medical
confirmation that the applicant is fit to drive. It is a medical declaration
that must be examined and certified by a registered medical practitioner. Under
the Motor Vehicles framework used by Regional Transport Offices (RTOs), the
certificate is generally required in the following cases:

●       
When a person above 40 years of age applies
for a new driving licence, in such cases, the licensing authority may ask for
medical fitness confirmation before issuing the licence.

●       
When a driver applies for Form 1A for DL renewal of
an existing driving licence. During medical certificates for renewal of driving
licence, especially for older licences or certain licence categories, the RTO
may require Form 1A as part of the documentation process.

●       
When the applicant has a physical disability
or medical condition and may need a modified motor vehicle. The certificate
helps confirm whether the applicant can safely operate a vehicle and whether
any vehicle modifications are required.

●       
When applying for an International Driving
Permit (IDP), many licensing authorities require a medical certificate to
confirm that the applicant is medically fit to drive in other countries.

Because
the requirement appears only at specific stages of the licensing workflow, many
applicants encounter different practical scenarios, usually while completing
their application on the Parivahan portal, rather than at the very beginning of
the process. This is often the point where drivers begin looking for a
registered doctor who can issue the certificate in the correct format required
for driving licence submission. In such situations, the applicant must obtain
Form 1A medical certificate from a registered medical practitioner, who reviews
the applicant’s basic health indicators, such as vision, hearing, and general
physical fitness, before certifying the form.

What
information is needed for a Medical Certificate Form 1A Parivahan?

Although
the Form 1A from RTO approved doctor may
look technical at first glance, its structure is actually quite simple. The
form is designed to capture only the basic medical information needed by
licensing authorities to confirm that a driver is medically fit to operate a
motor vehicle. The document generally follows three main sections.

The
first part is the Applicant Declaration- 

In
this section, the applicant’s basic personal information is already recorded
based on the details submitted during the driving licence application. This
typically includes the applicant’s name, guardian’s name, date of birth,
address, and identification marks.

These
details come directly from the information provided by the applicant during the
self-declaration stage on the Parivahan portal and from the identity documents
submitted with the application. Because of this, the doctor does not edit or
modify any information in this section.

Applicants
sometimes approach doctors asking for corrections in names, dates of birth, or
address details in the Form 1A document. However, this section is not
controlled by the doctor. If any information is incorrect, the applicant must
update or resubmit the correct details on the Parivahan portal themselves
before generating the certificate.

This
declaration, therefore, acts as the link between the applicant’s licence
application and the medical evaluation being submitted to the Regional
Transport Office (RTO).

The
second part is the Medical Examination Section-

In
this section, the doctor records observations about the applicant’s health
condition. The evaluation focuses only on medical factors that may affect a
person’s ability to drive safely, such as vision, hearing, and overall physical
coordination required to control a vehicle.

The
Form 1A document contains a set of standard questions that the doctor must
review and answer based on the applicant’s health condition. These questions
are designed to check whether the applicant has any medical limitations that could
affect safe driving.

For
example, the doctor is required to verify:

●       
Vision condition – whether the applicant has
any eyesight problems and whether those issues can be corrected using
spectacles if required.

●       
Colour recognition – whether the applicant can
clearly identify traffic signal colours such as red and green.

●       
Distance vision – whether the applicant can
read a vehicle number plate from approximately 25 metres away in daylight
conditions.

●       
Hearing ability – whether the applicant has
any hearing difficulty that may prevent them from detecting normal traffic
sounds like horns or warning signals.

●       
Night vision – whether the applicant
experiences difficulty seeing clearly in low-light or night conditions.

●       
Physical fitness – whether the applicant has
any physical disability, missing limb, or medical condition that may affect the
ability to control a vehicle safely.

Based
on the examination, the doctor answers each of these questions in the form with
a simple “Yes” or “No” assessment and records their observations in the
certificate.

Among
these checks, vision and hearing evaluation are considered the most important
because driving relies heavily on the ability to see road signals, identify
obstacles, and hear warning sounds from surrounding vehicles. In many
situations, applicants may obtain the Form 1A document without undergoing
proper vision or hearing checks, which can later create problems when the
certificate is reviewed by licensing authorities.

For
this reason, it is generally recommended that applicants ensure that basic
vision and hearing screening are actually performed before the doctor certifies
the form. Platforms such as MedicalCertificate.in
help simplify this process by allowing applicants to complete the required
vision and hearing assessment online and obtain an online medical certificate
for a driving licence through a registered medical practitioner on the same
platform, making the documentation process easier and more reliable.

The
final part is the Doctor’s Certification-

After
completing the medical evaluation, the registered medical practitioner
certifies whether the applicant is medically fit to drive. The doctor must
clearly mention their name, signature, stamp, and medical registration number,
which allows the Regional Transport Office (RTO) to verify the practitioner if
required.

In
most cases, the doctor also attests the applicant’s photograph on the Form 1A
document by signing or stamping across it. This confirms that the medical examination
was conducted for the same person whose details appear on the certificate.

Once
the doctor signs, stamps, and attests the photograph, the Form 1A certification
process is considered complete, and the document is ready for submission to the
RTO.

What
Happens If the Doctor Cannot Certify Fitness?

In
most cases, applicants do not face any issues during the Form 1A evaluation
because the medical check is basic. However, if the doctor finds a concern that
may affect safe driving, the certificate may not be issued immediately.

For
example, if a person has uncorrected vision problems, hearing difficulty, or
another medical condition that affects driving ability, the doctor may advise
the applicant to first address the issue before issuing the certificate. In
many situations, the solution can be simple. Vision problems may be corrected
with spectacles, after which the applicant can return for a re-evaluation. Once
the doctor confirms that the issue has been managed and driving ability is not
affected, the Form 1A certificate can be issued.

Applicants
should also avoid submitting incorrect or misleading medical information in the
form. Providing inaccurate details or skipping proper medical checks can lead
to problems later if the certificate is reviewed during licence verification.
If the certificate cannot be issued during the first visit, applicants can
complete the recommended correction or treatment and request a fresh
evaluation, after which the doctor can certify the form if the medical
requirements are satisfied.

State-Specific
Rules That Often Confuse Drivers Applying for the Form 1A

Although
Form 1A medical certificate guidelines are broadly consistent across India, the
way the certificate is issued, submitted, and verified can vary slightly from
one state to another. These differences typically become visible when
applicants are completing their driving licence services on the Parivahan
portal, which is why many people are often unsure about the requirement for a
physical certificate, an RTO-empanelled doctor, or a digitally issued Form 1A.

In
practice, these variations are largely driven by how the state transport
department verifies the issuing doctor, rather than changes to the actual Form
1A document itself. A digitally issued certificate from a registered medical
practitioner is valid when submitted through the online application workflow.
However, if the same document is printed for offline submission, it may not
meet the physical verification requirements followed at certain RTOs, where the
applicant’s photograph must be attested, and the document must carry a physical
signature and stamp from the doctor. As a result, the mode of submission—online
or offline—plays an important role in how the certificate is accepted, which
often contributes to confusion among applicants.

States
Using RTO Empanelled Doctors 

In
some states, such if you are looking for Form 1A in Maharashtra, Form 1A
in  Tamil Nadu, Form 1A in Odisha, and
Form 1A in Chattisgarh, the transport department has introduced systems where
RTO empanelled doctors are authorised to issue the RTO medical certificate
directly within the licensing system.

In
these states, the doctor completing the Form 1A must be registered on the
transport department’s panel. During the certification process, the doctor
enters the applicant’s licence application details, and the system may generate
an OTP verification. This OTP is sent to the applicant’s registered mobile
number and must be entered during the certification process to confirm that the
medical certificate is linked to the correct licence application.

Because
the certificate is issued through the Parivahan system, the doctor’s details
and the certificate record automatically become part of the digital driving
licence application file.

These
state-level variations often create uncertainty for applicants, particularly
around whether certification must be obtained from a government hospital, an
RTO-empanelled doctor, or a general registered medical practitioner. In some
cases, procedural details—such as green ink signatures required only in specific
government hospital-based physical certification scenarios—add to this
confusion and are often misunderstood. While verification processes may differ
across states, the underlying requirement remains consistent: the certificate
must be issued by a registered medical practitioner whose credentials can be
verified by the licensing authority if required.

How
to Get a Medical Certificate Form 1A?

At
this stage, many applicants realise they cannot proceed further on the portal
without completing the medical certificate requirement. Once the Parivahan
portal indicates that a Form 1A medical certificate is required, the applicants
need to figure out how to get a medical certificate for a driving licence, and
to do the same, the next step is finding a RTO empanelled doctor to get a
certificate from a registered medical practitioner. Traditionally, applicants
had to visit hospitals or clinics to complete the certification. However, with
digital health services becoming more common, many drivers now complete the same
process online.

Download
Form 1A Medical Certificate PDF

Many
applicants searching for a driving licence often look for “Form 1A medical
certificate PDF download” to understand the format or prepare their documents
in advance. The Form 1A document is a standardized medical fitness certificate
prescribed under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules and is used across India for
driving licence applications, renewals, and international driving permits.

Traditional
vs Online Form 1A Medical Certificate

Both
options are valid, but the experience differs significantly in terms of time,
effort, and clarity.

Traditional
vs Online Form 1A Medical Certificate

Both
options are valid, but the experience differs significantly in terms of effort,
time, and overall ease.

Traditional
Method (Hospital/Clinic):

The
traditional process can be slow, fragmented, and often frustrating. The
applicant must first locate an RTO-approved doctor, which itself can be
uncertain, as not all doctors are familiar with Form 1A requirements. In most
cases, vision and hearing tests are not available at the same place, forcing
the applicant to visit multiple clinics or facilities. After completing these
tests, another visit is usually required for a physical evaluation, often
involving long waiting times with no clear timeline. The doctor completes the
form at their convenience, leaving the applicant with little visibility on
progress. Finally, the certificate must be collected physically, which may
require additional follow-ups and repeat visits. Overall, the process becomes
time-consuming, effort-heavy, and prone to delays or errors if not handled
correctly.

Online
Method (MedicalCertificate.in):

The
online process is designed to be simple, structured, and quick. The applicant
is directly connected with an RTO-approved, government-registered doctor
experienced in issuing Form 1A certificates. Vision, hearing, and general
health evaluations are completed through a guided online process from home,
without the need to visit multiple locations. The entire workflow is
streamlined, with clear steps and minimal waiting. Once the evaluation is
completed, the doctor promptly issues a digitally verified certificate, which
is delivered instantly in PDF format. The process is fast, convenient, and
predictable, significantly reducing both time and effort for the applicant.

How
to Get Form 1A Medical Certificate Online in India

The
process on MedicalCertificate.in is simple and fully online.

Step
1: Visit the Form 1A page on MedicalCertificate.in

Step
2: Fill in your basic details and attach your Form 1A application form

Step
3: Complete the online vision and hearing self-screening

Step
4: A registered medical practitioner reviews your details and, if medically
fit, issues the Form 1A certificate in PDF format with signature, stamp, and
registration number.

The
entire process is completed online and usually within 72 hours. Since the
vision and hearing checks are self-screening tests, applicants can take them
comfortably and repeat the test if needed before final submission. This makes
the process a one-stop and hassle-free way to obtain Form 1A without visiting
multiple clinics.

How
to Upload Form 1A on the Parivahan Portal

Once
you receive the Form 1A medical certificate, it must be uploaded to your
licence application on the Sarathi Parivahan portal.

Step
1: Log in to your application on the https://sarathi.parivahan.gov.in/


Step
2: Go to the Document Upload section.

Step
3: Upload a clear scanned copy or photo of the completed Form 1A certificate
under a 500 KB file size.

Step
4: Enter the doctor’s name and medical registration number if the portal asks
for it.

Step
5: Submit the document so it becomes part of the RTO verification process.

Why
do many drivers prefer a Form 1A driving licence medical certificate online?

As
driving licence services move online, many applicants now prefer obtaining
their Form 1A medical certificate through structured digital platforms. The
main reason is convenience. Instead of locating RTO-empanelled doctors,
visiting multiple clinics, or coordinating separate vision and hearing checks,
applicants can complete the process through a single guided workflow.

Platforms
such as MedicalCertificate.in
combine medical evaluation, eye and ear screening, and doctor certification in
one place. Because the certificate is issued by a registered medical
practitioner with verifiable medical registration details, it remains
compatible with Parivahan licence applications.

For
applicants applying for medical certificates for driving license renewal,
transport licences, or international driving permits, this approach reduces
delays and helps ensure the Form 1A document is generated in the correct format
required for licence submission.

Form
1A for International Driving Permit (IDP)

When
applying for an International Driving Permit (IDP), many Regional Transport
Offices (RTOs) require submission of a Form 1A medical certificate to confirm
that the applicant is medically fit to drive in foreign jurisdictions. While
the requirement may vary across RTOs, it is commonly requested, particularly
for international permit issuance where medical fitness confirmation is
required. The certificate ensures that the applicant meets basic health
standards, including adequate vision, hearing, and physical coordination, which
are essential for safe driving internationally. As with domestic applications,
the Form 1A for IDP must be issued by a registered medical practitioner whose
credentials can be verified by the licensing authority, and it must be
submitted in the format accepted by the Parivahan system or the respective RTO.

Steps to Get Form 1A
Medical Certificate Online for International Driving Permit (IDP)

Get
a Form 1A Medical Certificate Online for an International Driving Permit (IDP)
in five easy steps - 

Step
1: Visit the MedicalCertificate.in

Step
2: Fill in your basic details and attach your Form 1A application form

Step
3: Complete the online vision and hearing self-screening

Step
4: A registered medical practitioner reviews your details and, if medically
fit, issues the Form 1A certificate in PDF format with signature, stamp, and
registration number. 

If
you are applying for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in Tamil Nadu,
Maharashtra or Odisha, the empanelled RTO doctor will upload the form directly.


RTO
Approved Doctors Near Me for Form 1A Medical Certificate

One
of the most common questions applicants have in mind while applying for a
driving licence is: “Where can I find an RTO-approved doctor near me for Form
1A?”

To
obtain a valid Form 1A medical certificate, the document must be issued by a
registered medical practitioner whose credentials can be verified by the
Regional Transport Office (RTO). In many states, this may include
RTO-empanelled doctors, while in others, any qualified MBBS/MD doctor with a
valid medical registration number can issue the certificate.

How
to Find RTO Approved Doctors Near You

If
you are searching for:

●       
RTO approved doctors near me

●       
RTO empanelled doctors near me for driving
licence

●       
Medical certificate for driving licence near
me

You
typically have the following options:

1.
Government Hospitals or RTO Offices- Some RTOs maintain a
list of empanelled doctors or provide certification through government
hospitals. However, availability may vary, and wait times can be long.

2.
Private Clinics with Registered Doctors-  Many private practitioners are authorized to
issue Form 1A, provided they include their medical registration number,
signature, and stamp on the certificate. The key requirement is that the doctor
must be verifiable by the licensing authority.

3.
Online Medical Certification Platforms-
With the shift toward digital driving licence services, many applicants now
choose to obtain their Form 1A medical certificate online. Platforms like MedicalCertificate.in
connect applicants with verifiable, registered medical practitioners familiar
with Form 1A certification requirements, allowing you to complete the process
from home without searching for a nearby clinic.

Because
of these variations, many applicants prefer a standardized process to ensure
the certificate meets the format accepted by the Parivahan system and the
respective RTO.

Making
Form 1A Simpler for Drivers

For
most drivers, the Form 1A medical certificate is not a complicated requirement.
It is a basic medical declaration that confirms an individual is physically
capable of operating a motor vehicle safely. However, because this requirement
appears mid-way through the driving licence workflow and state-level
verification practices vary, many applicants encounter confusion at the exact
stage when they are trying to complete their application.

Whether
someone is renewing a driving licence, applying for an international driving
permit, or upgrading a licence category, understanding how the Form 1A
certification process works becomes critical to avoiding delays. Clarity on
what the certificate includes, who is authorised to issue it, and how it must
be submitted on the Sarathi–Parivahan portal allows applicants to complete
their documentation without unnecessary rejections or repeated attempts.

MedicalCertificate.in
addresses this gap by structuring the entire certification process into a
single, guided workflow. The platform enables applicants to complete vision and
hearing screening, share required inputs, and undergo medical evaluation by a
registered medical practitioner within a controlled and compliant system. The
certificate is then issued in the correct format required for licence
submission, ensuring alignment with Parivahan and RTO-level verification
requirements.

As
driving licence services across India continue to shift towards digital
workflows, clarity around documentation such as Form 1A is becoming
increasingly important. With proper guidance and verified medical
certification, applicants can complete their licence applications with greater
confidence. At the same time, since RTO rules vary across states and cities,
applicants are advised to check their local requirements before proceeding,
especially in cases involving physical submission or state-specific
verification practices. By integrating doctor certification, vision and hearing
screening, and documentation workflows within a single system, the platform
reduces fragmentation and enables applicants to complete certification
requirements efficiently without unnecessary clinic visits.

Online
Medical Certificates by MedicalCertificate.in

MedicalCertificate.in,
operated by Arupal SuperDocs Tech, works with a network of licensed medical
practitioners to facilitate the issuance of medical certificates across
multiple use cases. The firm in addition to Form 1A RTO medical certification
for driving licences, the platform supports online fitness certificates, sick leave certificates,
medical certificates for employment, travel, and visa purposes, insurance and
reimbursement documentation, sports and activity-based fitness clearance, and
other regulatory or institutional medical documentation requirements. The
platform is designed to handle both standard and custom certificate formats
where required, while maintaining compliance with applicable medical and
teleconsultation guidelines.

its inception in 2021, MedicalCertificate.in

remote healthcare requirements for users across the globe. With a focus on
increasing accessibility and convenience, the platform aligns with global and

220 cities in India and online ear and eye tests, online doctor consultation,

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

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

<title>Scientific Aromatherapy in India: Understanding Therapeutic Essential Oils</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/scientific-aromatherapy-in-india-understanding-therapeutic-essential-oils</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/scientific-aromatherapy-in-india-understanding-therapeutic-essential-oils</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Essential
oils are highly concentrated extracts obtained from plants that contain the
plant’s active aromatic molecules. In everyday life, many Indians are already
familiar with their effects: lavender essential oil used to support restful
sleep, eucalyptus essential oil inhaled during colds, or even traditional
Indian botanicals like tulsi and sandalwood used for respiratory comfort and
mental calm. Scientific Aromatherapy builds on this traditional wisdom by
applying modern chemistry and clinical understanding to how these essential
oils work in the body.

In Scientific
Aromatherapy, essential oils are not treated as lifestyle fragrances, but as
therapeutic agents with measurable physiological effects—when sourced,
formulated, and used correctly. According to industry estimates, India’s
essential oil and aromatherapy market has been growing at over 15% annually,
reflecting a clear shift among consumers toward natural, evidence based
wellness solutions.

At a molecular
level, essential oils are complex mixtures of naturally occurring compounds
such as terpenes, esters, oxides etc. These molecules interact with the body
through inhalation and skin application, influencing respiratory pathways, the
nervous system, immune responses, and skin health. In Europe, scientific
aromatherapy has long been integrated into mainstream healthcare, with
essential oils used in hospitals, recommended by trained pharmacists and
doctors, and regulated for quality and safety.

The
Quality Gap: Why All Essential Oils Are Not the Same

As interest in
natural wellness grows in India, essential oils have become widely available
online and in retail. However, not all essential oils offer true therapeutic
value. Many low-cost products rely on dilution with carrier oils, the addition
of synthetic fragrance molecules, or partial reconstruction of aromas to cut
costs. While these products may smell pleasant, they often lack the full
spectrum of active plant compounds required for real therapeutic action.

High-quality
essential oils depend on several non-negotiable factors: correct botanical
species, controlled cultivation, optimal harvest timing, precise extraction
methods, and rigorous testing. Scientific aromatherapy relies on

1.Chemotyped
essential oils – oils precisely defined by their dominant active molecules,
ensuring predictable therapeutic action. 

2.GC–MS
(Gas Chromatography &amp; Mass Spectrometry) testing – advanced laboratory
analysis used to verify purity, potency, and safety by identifying every major
and minor component in the essential oil.  

The objective is
not to alarm consumers, but to enable informed choices: when it comes to
essential oils, quality defines outcomes.

Puraroma:
Bringing Scientific Aromatherapy to India

Founded
through a collaboration between Indian entrepreneurs and European aromatherapy
experts, Puraroma was created to bridge this quality gap.
The brand brings European standards of scientific aromatherapy to Indian
consumers, focusing on 100% natural, pure, and complete essential oils,
supported by formulation science rather than marketing claims.

Puraroma’s
formulations are developed with a strong emphasis on dosage, safety, and
consistency. Each product uses carefully calibrated concentrations of essential
oils—high enough to be effective, yet safe &amp; gentle for everyday use.
Quality control, traceability, and testing ensure that every bottle delivers
the same therapeutic reliability.

Cold
&amp; Flu: Supporting Respiratory Health Naturally

One
of Puraroma’s most widely known categories is Cold &amp; Flu care,
designed for seasonal congestion, blocked sinuses, sore throat, and respiratory
discomfort. These formulations are developed under the guidance of Dr. Dominique Baudoux, a
globally respected aromatherapy scientist with over 40 years of experience and
the author of more than 50 reference books on medical aromatherapy.

Essential oils
such as eucalyptus, peppermint, and rosemary are selected for their
well-documented decongestant, antiviral, and respiratory-supportive properties.
Puraroma’s range includes innovative formats suited to Indian lifestyles—nasal
sprays for congestion, throat sprays for pain relief, and allergy sprays
addressing dust and pollen sensitivities common in urban environments. Each
product reflects a guarantee of quality, precision, and safety in every bottle.

Sleep
&amp; Relaxation: Restoring Balance Through the Nervous System

Another
key category is Sleep
&amp; Relaxation, addressing one of modern India’s most widespread
challenges: chronic stress and poor-quality sleep. Essential oils such as true
lavender, mandarin, and chamomile are known to support the nervous system by
calming stress responses and encouraging relaxation.

Delivered through
ready-to-use formats, these products support healthier sleep &amp; stress
relief routines without sedatives or habit-forming ingredients. The aim is not
instant sedation, but helping the body transition naturally into restorative
rest.

Beyond
Blends: Pure Essential Oils for Targeted Use

Alongside
ready-to-use formulations, Puraroma also offers 100% pure and natural essential
oils for those who prefer personalised wellness routines. Each essential oil
available for e.g. tea tree for skin, rosemary for scalp and hair health,
eucalyptus for respiratory support contains specific active molecules that
define its therapeutic role.

To further
support safe and effective use, Puraroma provides clear usage guidelines,
safety sheets, dosage recommendations, origin details, and quality test
documentation for each essential oil. This transparency ensures that consumers
can confidently integrate essential oils into their routines with clarity and
trust.

Science-Led,
Natural Wellness

Scientific
aromatherapy is not about replacing modern medicine, nor about unverified
natural claims. It is about using nature intelligently—guided by chemistry,
biology, decades of clinical experience and thousands of peer reviewed
international publications. As Indian consumers become more informed, the
demand is clearly shifting toward solutions that are both natural and credible.

Puraroma stands at
this intersection: 100% natural, grounded in science, and effective. For those
seeking reliable remedies rooted in both tradition and modern science, Puraroma
acts as a natural complement translating plant science into dependable health
solutions for everyday use.

<title>The One&#45;Generation Jump: How Yuva Unstoppable’s Scholarship Program Is Lifting Families Out of Poverty</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-one-generation-jump-how-yuva-unstoppables-scholarship-program-is-lifting-families-out-of-poverty</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/the-one-generation-jump-how-yuva-unstoppables-scholarship-program-is-lifting-families-out-of-poverty</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mr.
Amitabh Shah, founder of Yuva Unstoppable, joined by cricketing legend Mr. VVS
Laxman and co-founder of Infosys: S. D. Shibulal)

In the competitive landscape of India’s premier engineering
and management institutes, a quiet revolution is taking place. It is a
revolution fuelled not just by intellect, but by the sheer force of resilience.
Over the last decade, Yuva Unstoppable, a nationally leading non-profit
organisation, has moved beyond traditional philanthropy to create a &quot;Scholarship
to High-trajectory Careers&quot; pipeline that is currently placing
students from the country’s most marginalised backgrounds into high-paying
corporate roles at global giants.

The Quantifiable Reach of Change

In the
competitive landscape of India’s premier engineering and management institutes,
a quiet revolution is taking place. This revolution is fueled not just by
intellect, but by the sheer force of resilience. Yuva Unstoppable has moved
beyond traditional philanthropy to create a &quot;Scholarship to
High-trajectory Careers&quot; pipeline, placing students from marginalized
backgrounds into high-paying roles at global giants.

The scale
of this transformation is reflected in the program’s track record:

●     
₹66.7 Crores disbursed in total scholarship funds.

●     
3,200+ Scholars entered Government Medical Colleges.

●     
500+ Students secured seats at prestigious IITs.

●     
100% of participating families have been lifted out of poverty.

With a
demographic split of 56% male and 44% female, and an average scholarship of
₹43,500, we are seeing students from families of manual laborers securing
corporate packages as high as 50 LPA.

Bridging the &quot;Opportunity Gap&quot;

The program&#039;s success is best measured by the radical
transformation of family legacies. A shining example of this is the story of Shruti
Shelar. The daughter of a sugarcane farmer with a staggering annual income
of just ₹57,000, Shruti navigated her engineering degree with the support of a Yuva
Unstoppable scholarship. Today, she is a software developer at SAP Labs
Bangalore, commanding a package of ₹16 LPA, the highest on her campus. In a
single stroke of a pen on an appointment letter, a family’s economic trajectory
was permanently altered.

Echoing this emotion, Jamil Khatri, Founder of Uniqus,
remarked at the launch of Yuva Unstoppable’s scholarship technology platform,&quot;Education
is a passport out of poverty. If you have education on your side, you can
actually fight against all odds and actually make a life for yourself. If you
have the ability to get education, and then you have the merit, you have the
ability to change not just your life, but the life of your entire family.&quot;

For many brilliant students, the barrier to success isn&#039;t a
lack of merit, but a lack of resources. Subrat Samal, the son of a small
footwear shopkeeper in Odisha, faced the daunting financial burden of an IIT
Kharagpur education. Through the scholarship program, he was able to focus
entirely on his specialised field. He now works as an AI Engineer at Genpact
in Bangalore with a package of ₹17.5 LPA. Speaking about his journey,
Subrat remarked, “Your starting point doesn’t decide your finish line. It
only decides how much grit, courage, and stubborn belief you’ll need to get
there.”

By providing not just tuition fees, but also laptops,
mindset coaching, and professional mentorship, the organisation ensures that
students from government schools can compete and win against peers from the
most privileged backgrounds.

Resilience as a Professional Asset

The corporate world is increasingly recognizing that the
grit required to overcome poverty is a formidable professional asset. Ritu
Maurya, an IIT Delhi student, embodies this shift. Her journey was defined
by a blurred path, facing unpaid fees and heavy family debt during COVID, yet
she never lost her &quot;momentum.&quot; As Ritu puts it: &quot;Like
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, life may blur the exact path, but momentum
still carries you forward.&quot; This focus allowed her to
transition from a student without a laptop to an R&amp;D Engineer at SEDEMAC
with a seven-figure package.

Similarly, Varsha Sinha from Ahmedabad, who lost her
father just before her graduation exams, used the support of Yuva
Unstoppable to clear all levels of her CA exams on her first attempt. She
now works at UltraTech Cement with a CTC of ₹12 lakhs and has bought a
home worth ₹50 lakhs for her family.

A New Era of CSR

The scholarship program has become a preferred partner for
India’s top CXOs and CSR heads because of its clear ROI: social mobility.
Whether it is Yash Shah, who rose from his mother’s khakhra-selling
business to a career in US Taxation at an 8 LPA package, or the hundreds of
others entering the workforce, the result is the same.

Amitabh Shah, the
founder of Yuva Unstoppable, often emphasises that financial aid is
merely the first step. &quot;&quot;A scholarship is more than a financial
transaction; it is a vote of confidence made possible by our donors. To all our
generous partners who give: thank you for telling a young person that their
circumstances do not define their destination”, says Shah.

By investing in these “Unstoppable” scholars, corporate
India is doing more than fulfilling a mandate; it is opening pathways for
resilient young leaders who have already overcome extraordinary challenges.
Initiatives like this demonstrate how collaboration between civil society and
industry can help transform aspiration into opportunity for millions of young
Indians.

 

Yuva Unstoppable’s Brief Description:

After completing his Master’s degree from Yale University,
Mr. Amitabh Shah turned down a Wall Street offer with JP Morgan to work
on the real streets of India and establish Yuva Unstoppable (among the top 10
largest NGOs in India). Amitabh is also the youngest Indian to receive the US Government’s
International Ellis Island Award,
an honour previously given to global icons like President Bill Clinton,
President George Bush, Muhammad Ali, Paula Abdul, Indra Nooyi, and Malala
Yousafzai. Yuva Unstoppable’s efforts have also been recognised by former
Presidents of India – Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and Shri Ram Nath Kovind, and Amitabh
was recently appointed as the Viksit Bharat Ambassador for his nation-building
efforts. Their interventions include projects across Education; Early Childhood
Care, Health and Nutrition; Employability and Skilling; and Environment and
Agroforestry.

Impact at a Glance:

●     
10M+ beneficiaries empowered across
25 Indian states

●     
9,000+ schools transformed with WASH
facilities, STEM labs, and smart classrooms—boosting attendance by

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

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

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

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

<title>Attorney General for India Calls for a New Framework for Plea Bargaining at Seminar on Delivering Justice In Time</title>
<link>https://en.newsbolt.in/attorney-general-for-india-calls-for-a-new-framework-for-plea-bargaining-at-seminar-on-delivering-justice-in-time</link>
<guid>https://en.newsbolt.in/attorney-general-for-india-calls-for-a-new-framework-for-plea-bargaining-at-seminar-on-delivering-justice-in-time</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ New
Delhi, 16 March, 2026 : Mr. R. Venkataramani, Attorney General for
India, called for a new framework for plea bargaining based on social,
cultural, economic theories and practices at the inaugural session of the
seminar on “Delivering Justice in Time: Global Practices and Indian
Experiences”, jointly organised by O.P. Jindal Global University and the
National Law University Delhi.

“Plea
bargaining is becoming universal. There’s a new need for a national protocol
for plea bargaining, a national protocol which can be evolved and which can, in
a very healthy way, advise, guide and counsel practitioners as well as victims
of justice, so that the protocol can work in a more transparent and objective
way. The legal and civil authority should be prepared to play important roles.
The Chief Justice of India has consented to have a strong internal discussion
on it. Existing legal mechanisms will also be made ready to look with a new
lens and that there is concession for the defense and the resource management
for the state. The resource management for the state is not only relevant for
the plea bargaining aspect. It is resource value for the state, essentially,
like an economic principle which should run through the entire administration
of justice. This is why I have been thinking about a National Institute for
Criminal Justice Administration which will also have an everyday index where we
watch the measurement and performance. Those who practice in the trial court
will find out how painful it is for people to simply waste their resources for
governments, institutions, people, lawyers and judges as well as time!” he
said.

“A
Legal Health Index is important for our country. The Legal Health Index will
probably identify factors which will include preventative and predictable
procedures, the ease of justice, what roles each one of us can play and what
kind of resources’ investment that we require. Therefore, a Legal Health Index
should be properly conceived, identified and then operationalized. And who
should do that? I do not think it needs to be necessarily in the hands of
governance institutions but it is a role for law schools and universities in
conceiving and maintaining the Legal Health Index. It’s important also for the
community to get intellectually involved and to give a different point of
view,” the Attorney General added.

In
his Keynote Address, Dr. Abhishek M. Singhvi, Senior Advocate, Supreme Court of
India &amp; Member of Parliament, spoke about the large
pendency of cases in India. “It is the paradox of India’s legal system, capable
of producing some of the world’s most sophisticated jurisprudence, while
simultaneously struggling with a massive backlog of cases. We need to deal with
the ‘ABCD’—the access, backlog, cost and delay issues, and the obvious step is
to appoint court judges. We need to fill judicial vacancies, adopt multi-track
case management systems, resolve very old cases through dedicated mechanisms,
strengthen mediation and revive Gram Nyayalayas, and improve coordination
across courts, police and prisons. We need a synergy and focus to deal with the
high number of pending cases which is also holistic. We need a curative and
preventive approach and unconventional in a bold, new methodology to address
the issue. The other extreme, which is a big failure, is arbitration. Arbitration
has become pre-litigation litigation which is just adding one more separate
limb to the process but the reality is that there are not enough trained
mediators and this needs to be addressed on a war footing. There is also the
issue of human infrastructure. The criminal law justice system includes the
criminal hearing judge, the police and the prison staff and all these have to
be synergically coordinated.” He also called for reconsidering the retirement
age disparity between High Courts and the Supreme Court and emphasized
long-term consistency in reform implementation.

In
his Welcome Address, Prof. (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor, O.P.
Jindal Global University, emphasized that the rule of law depends not
only on constitutional design or legal doctrine but on the ability of
institutions to deliver justice in a timely, fair and effective manner. “I
highlight India’s pendency crisis—with over 5 crore pending cases—where there
is a need for systemic reforms and I propose five pillars for transforming
justice delivery: These include: strengthening judicial capacity; procedural
reform and active case management; technology and artificial intelligence in
courts; expansion of plea bargaining and pre-trial mechanisms; and data-driven
justice governance.” Dr. Raj Kumar lauded the collaboration between National
Law University Delhi, Jindal Global Law School, and O.P. Jindal Global
University. He expressed the intention to expand the seminar into a nationwide
series of discussions across multiple cities and states with the aim of
building collective consciousness and momentum around the urgent need for
timely and effective justice delivery in India.

A
message was also conveyed from the Hon’ble Minister of State for Law and
Justice, Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, who was unable to attend due to official
responsibilities, along with his keen interest in the outcomes of the seminar.
It was noted that a comprehensive report of the deliberations would be shared
with him for possible follow-up discussions.

Prof.
(Dr.) G.S. Bajpai, Vice Chancellor, National Law University Delhi, reflected
on the deeper meaning of the seminar’s theme: “Justice in Time.” He cautioned
that speed alone does not equal justice. True legitimacy in the justice system,
he noted, depends on fairness, transparency and procedural integrity. He called
for an empirical evaluation of the timelines introduced in India’s new criminal
laws and emphasized the need to strengthen victim justice frameworks,
continuous legal aid from early stages, and a coherent national sentencing
policy.

The
event led to a day-long seminar with several sessions which included:
Institutional &amp; Procedural Reforms: Improving Efficiency In Court Systems;
Technology &amp; Timely Justice: Digital Courts, AI, And Data Governance; and
Plea Bargaining &amp; Pre-Trial Mechanisms: Efficiency Without Compromising
Justice.

Senior
lawyers, legal experts and academics participated in the sessions including:
Dr. Pinky Anand; Mr. Tanveer Ahmed Mir; Mr. Sanjiv Sen; Mr. Maninder Singh,
Senior Advocates, Supreme Court of India, with Professor Shireen Moti,
Associate Professor, Jindal Global Law School, and Dr. Garima Tiwari, Associate

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

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

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

<title>Amaya Dental Emerges as Bangalore&amp;apos;s Premier Destination for Advanced Dental and Cosmetic Care</title>

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

<title>TheTourist360 Expands Celebrity and Influencer&#45;Led Travel Experiences Across India and International Destinations</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Coimbatore,
Tamil Nadu : TheTourist360, a
Tamil Nadu–based travel company, is expanding its presence in the experiential
tourism segment by collaborating with celebrities, influencers, and digital
creators to host curated international group trips across popular global
destinations.

The company, which
focuses on organized international travel experiences, has been actively
building a creator-led travel ecosystem by partnering with personalities from
the entertainment, digital media, and travel vlogging communities. Through
these collaborations, TheTourist360 has been hosting group tours that combine tourism with
influencer engagement, creating a new format of travel experiences that appeals
particularly to young travellers and social media audiences.

One of the most
notable collaborations for the company has been with actress and influencer
Anitha Sampath. In partnership with TheTourist360, she hosted three
celebrity-led group trips to the Maldives over the past few years. The first group
tour was conducted in 2024 with around 30 travelers. Following the positive
response, a second trip was organized in 2025 with a similar group size.
Building on the growing demand for influencer-led travel experiences, the third
edition in 2026 expanded to accommodate 40 travelers, making it the largest
group in the series.

In total, nearly
100 travelers have participated in these Maldives experiences organized through
the collaboration, reflecting the increasing popularity of curated group travel
formats that allow travellers to explore destinations alongside public figures
and content creators.

Beyond this
collaboration, TheTourist360 has
hosted travel experiences for several personalities across the entertainment
and sports industries. Actress and influencer Samyuktha Shan has been part of
travel experiences hosted by the company, while former Indian cricketer
Anirudha Srikanth also travelled through TheTourist360 as part of a honeymoon
trip to the Maldives.

The company has
also worked with many popular influencers and digital creators such as Sathish
Deepa along with well-known vloggers including actress Dharsha Gupta, Chennai
Vlogger, Transit Bites, Village Database, Dan JR Vlogs, Budget Food and Travel,
and Travel with Akshaay.TheTourist360 has also partnered with the USA-based
Tamil media platform Oh My Thagaval and Malaysian Tamil actress Aishwarya as
part of its growing collaborations across global Tamil-speaking audiences.

TheTourist360’s
creator network extends beyond Tamil Nadu and includes influencers from across
South India. In the Telugu travel community, the company organized travel
experiences for creators such as Uma Telugu Traveller in Bali and Raju
Kannabona for a Maldives trip. Other collaborations include creators associated
with the American Dollar YouTube channel and Voice of Vasapitta Malaysia Trip,
featuring creator Madhuri.

Travel creators
from Kerala have also participated in curated tours organized by the company.
Among them are Divin Prabhakaran and Yaseen Vlogs, who have collaborated with
TheTourist360 for international travel experiences.

In Karnataka,
travel influencers including Flying Passport, Backpack with M, DhanRaj Archer
Vlogs, and digital creator Aishwarya Karkera have also been part of the
company’s curated travel programs.

While influencer collaborations have become a key element
of its growth strategy, the company’s journey is closely tied to the
entrepreneurial story of its founder, Kalaiarasan, popularly known as Kalai
Maldives.

Kalaiarasan was
born on December 14, 1996, and grew up in the small town of Vellakovil in Tamil
Nadu. He comes from a middle-class family that valued hard work and
perseverance. His father, Loganathan Palaniappan, has been involved in the
buying and selling of second-hand cars and has also worked as a driver to
support the family’s income. His mother, Sagunthala Natarajan, is a homemaker
who has dedicated herself to managing the household and supporting the family.

Growing up in this
modest environment instilled in Kalaiarasan a strong sense of financial
responsibility, resilience, and determination—values that would later shape his
entrepreneurial journey.

Before starting his
own venture, Kalairasan worked in the Maldives tourism sector as an airport
representative at Velana International Airport. His work involved coordinating
international tourist arrivals, airport transfers, and travel logistics, giving
him practical exposure to global tourism operations.

During the COVID-19
pandemic, when the tourism sector faced severe disruptions, Kalairasan
identified an emerging need for quarantine transit travel to the Maldives for
international travelers heading to countries such as the UAE and Canada. Using
his operational knowledge and industry contacts, he began arranging quarantine
stay packages that included accommodation, airport transfers, and travel
coordination. What started as assistance for a few travelers gradually evolved
into a structured travel service.

Following the
gradual reopening of international tourism, this initiative expanded into a
full-scale travel company. TheTourist360 began offering curated Maldives
holiday packages and honeymoon experiences for Indian travelers. Over time, the
company expanded its travel offerings to several international destinations
including Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai, Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, Mauritius, and
Sri Lanka, along with select European travel itineraries.

Within India, the
company has also introduced curated travel packages to destinations such as the
Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Manali, and
Kashmir. Today, TheTourist360 operates with a team of more than 20
professionals and serves travelers across India through customized
international and domestic travel experiences.

The company’s
growth and industry presence have also received recognition in the tourism
sector. Kalaiarasan was honored with the Tourism Business Icon 2025 Award at
the Indian Awards for his contribution to the travel industry. TheTourist360
was also recognized with the Most Trusted Travel Company of South India 2025
Award.

As
influencer-driven tourism continues to gain momentum, TheTourist360’s model of
combining curated travel experiences with digital creator collaborations
reflects a broader shift in how travel companies are engaging with younger
audiences and online communities.

With its expanding
network of creators, celebrities, and travel enthusiasts across multiple
regions, TheTourist360 continues to position itself within the evolving
experiential travel landscape by connecting travelers with digital
personalities while exploring destinations around the world.

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