Nanded (Maharashtra) [India], September 23: A special physiotherapy treatment camp led by Dr. Surabhi Dhanwala of Pune has commenced at Bhosikar Hospital, Nanded, giving local residents an opportunity to access specialized physiotherapy services closer to home.

The camp, being held from September 21 to September 30, 2026, between 9 am and 5 pm, is being organized under the joint supervision of the Agrawal District Mahila Mandal, Narayan Reiki Satsang Parivar and Rajasthani Mahila Mandal, Nanded.

The initiative has its roots in a continuing association with the people of Nanded. According to remarks shared in connection with the programme, this is not the first camp involving Dr. Dhanwala and her team. Two physiotherapy check-up camps had previously been organized, with such initiatives continuing over the past three years.

The response from residents eventually led to a specific request for a more extensive arrangement. With many patients finding it difficult to travel from Nanded to Pune, residents requested Dr. Dhanwala and her team to bring specialized physiotherapy services to Nanded itself.

Explaining the reason behind the current initiative, the message from the organizers noted that travelling to Pune can be particularly difficult for a large number of patients. The residents therefore requested a special arrangement in Nanded so that they could receive professional physiotherapy guidance without making the journey to Pune.

The present camp is the result of that request.

The inauguration brought together medical professionals and community representatives. Dr. Bhosikar, Chest Physician Dr. Bharat Toshniwal, Fetal Medicine Expert Dr. Saurabh Choudhari and Agrasen Samiti President Suresh Gupta were among the distinguished personalities present.

Other guests included Kalpana Choudhari, Nisha Agrawal, Chanda Kabra, Shanta Kabra, Manju Agrawal, Sandhya Bhartiya, Shobha Toshniwal, Sangita Somani, Sangita Agrawal, Kamal Agrawal and Vandana Bhartiya.

Physiotherapy can form an important part of rehabilitation and physical healthcare. Depending on an individual’s condition, professional physiotherapy may be used to address mobility, movement, strength and recovery-related concerns.

The organizers have positioned the camp as a community-focused healthcare initiative, with the broader objective of making professional guidance more accessible to residents.

The programme at Bhosikar Hospital also demonstrates how repeated community engagement can lead to healthcare initiatives designed around local needs. What began with check-up camps has now developed into a special treatment programme in Nanded following requests from residents.

The camp will continue until September 30, offering local residents an opportunity to access the scheduled physiotherapy services during the ten-day programme.

New Delhi [India], September 23: In September 2000, Manoj Kumar joined The Park New Delhi as a commis. His first assignment was room service, the residence lounge and the coffee shop, three outlets with three very different rhythms. Room service demands speed and accuracy with no margin for error. A lounge asks for polish. A coffee shop runs on steady volume from morning to night. For a young cook, moving between them is a demanding way to learn how a hotel kitchen actually works.

Recognition came early. He was named Merit Employee of the Year at The Park in 2004, and in 2005 the hotel sent him to represent it at the Great Indian Culinary Challenge in Mumbai, where he competed in the starters section. Around the same period he contributed to research on North East Indian cuisine and helped organise a festival built around it. It was work that took him beyond the familiar North Indian repertoire and into regional cooking few restaurant kitchens were exploring at the time.

After moving up to Chef de Partie at The Park, his career opened out internationally. He worked in London with Masala World, at Crowne Plaza New Delhi Rohini, briefly as Head Chef at USHNA in Abu Dhabi, at The Saffron Mantra in Portugal’s Algarve, and today at Tamashaa in Washington, D.C. That makes five countries: India, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Portugal and the United States.

What stands out is not the geography but the consistency. Across every posting, the specialty stayed the same: Indian cuisine, cooked for guests with very different expectations, in kitchens with very different suppliers, teams and regulations. Carrying one discipline through that many markets requires a level of adaptability that a single-kitchen career rarely tests.

More than two decades after that first shift at The Park, he is a Sous Chef leading back-of-house operations at one of the U.S. capital’s modern Indian dining rooms. In September 2026 he was also named an Official Executive Member of the World Association of Master Chefs (WAMC), an honour listed alongside his work at Tamashaa.

His trajectory tells a familiar but increasingly rare story in professional kitchens: a cook who started at the bottom rung of a five-star hotel, stayed committed to one cuisine, and built a career that now spans continents.

New Delhi [India], September 23: The Skindepth began with a simple idea: skincare should be built on understanding, science and purposeful formulations. For brothers Dr. Brijesh Kanjara and Dr. Darshan Kanjara, this belief became the foundation for building The Skindepth — Developed by Doctors from the ground up.

Chapter 1: Two Doctors. One Dream.

Every brand begins with an idea. For The Skindepth, that idea began with two brothers Dr. Brijesh Kanjara and Dr. Darshan Kanjara.

Coming from a middle-class family, the brothers did not have the advantage of substantial financial resources, an established business network or previous experience in building a skincare company. What they had was a shared dream and the willingness to learn.

Their vision was simple: skincare should not be driven only by exaggerated promises or changing market trends. It should begin with understanding the skin, its concerns, the ingredients used and the science behind formulations. That belief eventually became the foundation of The Skindepth Developed by Doctors.

Chapter 2: Starting From Scratch

The journey was not supported by a large team or an established infrastructure. The brothers first established their own private limited company and completed the required registrations and documentation.

Then came the bigger challenge learning the business itself.

From formulation and manufacturing to packaging, marketing and online sales, they had to understand almost every aspect of building a brand. There was no shortcut. They learned through research, experimentation, challenges and experience.

For the brothers, entrepreneurship became a process of doing everything themselves and gradually turning an idea into something tangible.

Chapter 3: Why Skincare?

The decision to enter skincare came naturally from Dr. Darshan’s clinical experience with skin-related patients.

Through this exposure, the brothers encountered common concerns such as acne, pigmentation, post-acne marks, dullness and uneven skin tone. At the same time, their research revealed an intensely competitive Indian skincare market.

Instead of simply entering an existing trend, they wanted to create a brand around clinical understanding, active ingredients and purposeful formulations.

This became the core approach behind The Skindepth: to look beyond the surface and understand skincare more deeply.

Chapter 4: The Meaning Behind The Skindepth

Even the name of the brand carries the founders’ philosophy.

After extensive discussions, the brothers chose the name The Skindepth, inspired by the idea that what we see on the surface may only represent a small part of a much larger picture.

They compared it to an iceberg only a small portion is visible above the water, while much more exists beneath the surface.

For the founders, understanding skin requires the same approach. It means going deeper into skin concerns, ingredients and skincare rather than focusing only on what is immediately visible.

Chapter 5: A Beginning With Three Serums

The Skindepth began its product journey with three targeted face serums:

– Vitamin C 10% Face Serum

– Salicylic Acid 2% Face Serum

– Niacinamide 10% Face Serum

But bringing these products to market was not an overnight process.

The brothers spent almost a year researching formulations, active ingredients, manufacturing and stability before launching their products. Every element had to be understood before it became part of the brand.

Chapter 6: Why the Black Bottle?

The distinctive black packaging was not chosen merely for aesthetics.

The founders considered the sensitivity of certain active ingredients to light and oxidation while developing their packaging approach. Protective black bottles became part of the product design.

The result was a visual identity that was minimal, premium and purposeful, supported by a black-and-white design and product-specific colour coding.

For The Skindepth, packaging became another extension of the philosophy function first, while maintaining a refined identity.

Chapter 7: The First Order

The Skindepth finally launched toward the end of April.

With limited marketing budgets and no established sales network, the brothers once again had to learn. This time, the challenge was e-commerce and digital marketing.

Then, a few days after launch, something happened that transformed the months of preparation into a real business the first order arrived.

The brothers packed the order themselves and included a handwritten thank-you note.

For most businesses, a first order is a transaction. For Dr. Brijesh and Dr. Darshan, it represented something much bigger: proof that the dream they had spent almost a year building had reached its first customer.

Chapter 8: The Reality of Building a Brand

The early months brought the realities of entrepreneurship.

Sales were slower than expected. Marketing was expensive. There was still a great deal to learn. But the brothers continued.

Every order, customer review and challenge became another lesson. The Skindepth was never intended to become an overnight success. The idea was to build it patiently, one step at a time.

Chapter 9: Developed by Doctors

At the centre of The Skindepth is its identity: Developed by Doctors.

The founders bring together their clinical exposure, knowledge of ingredients, formulation research and understanding of common Indian skincare concerns.

The products are supported by relevant testing, documentation and certifications applicable to their formulations. For the brothers, “Developed by Doctors” is more than a tagline it represents the responsibility they have taken in creating the brand.

Chapter 10: From India to the World

The Skindepth is still at an early stage, but its ambitions extend beyond its first three products.

The brothers are working towards developing face wash, moisturiser and sunscreen, with appropriate formulation, stability testing and quality checks.

Their long-term vision is to build an Indian, doctor-developed skincare brand with global recognition.

The journey is still being written. But it began with two brothers, limited resources and the courage to learn.

Two Doctors. One Vision. One Brand

The Skindepth — Developed by Doctors.

~ 250 Rhino 5538 EV 4×2 TractorTrailers are being deployed across an approximately 1,450 km route linkingNimbahera to Dahej and Tuna ports, with the first trucks already hauling fullpayloads on daily duty cycles

Nimbahera [Rajasthan], September 22: Montra Electric (eM&HCV Division), India’s full-spectrumelectric commercial vehicle brand from the Murugappa Group, and Wonder Cementare moving a 250-vehicle deployment of the Rhino 5538 EV 4×2 Tractor Trailerinto regular commercial service on India’s longest electric freight corridor.It is one of the largest heavy-duty electric truck commitments made by anIndian industrial company, and it is running on live cement logistics ratherthan as a contained pilot.

Initially 30 trucks were flagged off from Nimbahera WonderCement Plant in July 2026 and are already hauling full payloads on daily dutycycles. The fleet operates on the Nimbahera-Dahej Port and Nimbahera-Tuna Portroutes, spanning approximately 1,450 km across Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtraand Gujarat. The trucks run to the same operational schedule as a conventionaldiesel cement fleet, which is the only condition under which long-haulelectrification can be judged fairly.

The corridor is supported by dedicated charging infrastructurecomprising 13 charging stations, positioned so that the fleet can sustain dailylong-distance duty cycles inside the turnaround times that industrial logisticsoperations are built around.

The Montra Electric Rhino 5538 EV 4×2 Tractor Trailer is aheavy-duty electric tractor-trailer available with a 55-tonne (55t) GrossCombination Weight(GCW) option, purpose-built for demanding industrialapplications such as cement, coal and clinker haulage. It is powered by a 282kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery paired with a Permanent MagnetSynchronous Motor (PMSM) that delivers 280 kW (380 HP) and 2,000 Nm of torque,with 18% continuous gradeability and a 6-speed Automated Manual Transmission(AMT) to handle sustained heavy loads. The vehicle offers a range of 198* kmand charges from 20-100% SOC (State of Charge) in 60 minutes, and is supportedby 95%+ assured uptime.

By committing a route of this length and intensity to electrictrucks, Wonder Cement is betting its inbound and outbound logistics on theresult. That is the shift the Indian freight market has been waiting for: heavyelectrification judged on payload, turnaround and daily availability ratherthan on a demonstration run.

“Sustainabilityis at the core of Wonder Cement’s growth strategy, driving innovation acrossour entire value chain. The deployment of around 250 electric trucks on a1,450-km industrial corridor is a significant step toward decarbonisinglogistics and reducing our environmental footprint beyond manufacturing. Inpartnership with Montra Electric, we are demonstrating that long-haul freightelectrification is both operationally reliable and commercially viable. Thisinitiative reinforces our commitment to responsible growth and supports India’stransition to a cleaner, low-carbon future while setting new sustainabilitybenchmarks for the cement industry.”

Mr. Kiran Patil, Managing Director, Wonder Cement

“India’sfreight emissions are concentrated on its long-haul industrial corridors, andthat is where electrification has to prove itself. With Wonder Cement, we areputting electric heavy trucks into daily, fully loaded, long duty cycles on oneof the country’s busiest freight routes. This deployment moves the questionfrom ‘whether electric trucks can handle long-haul freight?’ to ‘how quicklyfleets can scale them?’ It underpins our commitment to deploy around 250electric heavy commercial vehicles across India’s key industrial corridors.”

Mr. Jalaj Gupta, Managing Director, Montra Electric (TIClean Mobility Pvt. Ltd.)

“We aregrateful to Wonder Cement for its partnership and confidence in thisdeployment. Demonstrating commercial and operational viability on an intensive1,450-km industrial corridor establishes that sustainable long-haul logisticsis ready to scale today. Our vehicles have been engineered for precisely theseconditions at high utilisation, heavy payloads and demanding turnaround times.We are proud to work with Wonder Cement in setting this precedent for theindustry.”

Mr. Navneet Sethi, CEO (eM&HCV division), MontraElectric (IPLTech Electric Pvt. Ltd.)

The same operating profile that suits cement, coal and clinkermovement applies to steel, mining, infrastructure and port haulage, wherevehicles run fixed routes at high utilisation with predictable turnaroundwindows. Across its heavy-duty electric deployments in India, Montra Electrichas 750+ vehicles on the road, 30Mn+ km covered and 6Mn CO₂ saved.

New Delhi [India], September 22: ChileNut, the association representing Chilean walnut growers and exporters, along with ProChile, an institution under Chile’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has announced the arrival of the new season of Chilean walnuts in India.

Walnuts have long been a favorite in Indian homes, loved for their nutritional benefits, taste versatility. With Chile’s southern hemisphere production season, Indian consumers can enjoy freshly harvested Chilean walnuts at a time when availability from other origins is limited. This makes Chilean walnuts a timely choice as the festive season gets underway, when demand for premium nuts is at its peak.

Known globally for their exceptional quality, Chilean walnuts are recognized for their freshness, extra-light colour, bigger size and high yield.

Mr Jorge Loyola, Trade Commissioner, ProChile, Embassy of Chile in India, said “India has become a strategically important market for Chilean walnuts, and the strong trade relationship we have built is a reflection of the quality, consistency and reliability of Chilean supply. We see significant potential to further deepen this relationship by bringing Chilean walnuts to more Indian consumers and strengthening partnerships across the Indian food and retail sector, particularly as Indian consumers become increasingly conscious of their food choices and the nutritional value of the foods they consume.” he added

Speaking about the India campaign, Mr. Sumit Saran, In-Country Marketing Representative for Chilean walnuts, said, “We are seeing a demand for Chilean walnuts in India, driven by consumers’ growing preference for fresh, high-quality walnuts. With our counter-seasonal harvest, Chilean walnuts arrive in India from August onwards, just in time for the festive season. We see a strong opportunity to build on this demand and bring the freshness and quality of Chilean walnuts to more Indian consumers.”

Walnuts are among the most nutrient-rich nuts and are a source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. They can be a valuable addition to a balanced diet and are widely enjoyed as a snack as well as in sweets, desserts and everyday dishes.

Chilean walnuts are now available across the Indian market through leading dry fruit retailers and e-commerce platforms, offering consumers a fresh and nutritious addition to their festive celebrations.

Thrissur (Kerala) [India], September 22: A painful swelling near the anus may disappear for a while, only to return weeks later. For some people, it is followed by discharge that makes sitting, travelling or working uncomfortable. These symptoms can point to an anal fistula, a condition many patients hesitate to discuss. At Thrissur Piles Clinic, Dr. Raviram S encourages people with recurring symptoms to seek an assessment and understand their treatment options.

An anal fistula is a tunnel that develops between the anal canal and the nearby skin, often following an infection or abscess. It can cause persistent or recurring discomfort. The visible opening, however, does not tell the full story: the tunnel’s course beneath the skin is important when planning treatment.

Signs that deserve medical attention

Symptoms can differ from person to person, but patients commonly seek advice for:

1. Repeated swelling or pain near the anus
2. Discharge from a small opening in the surrounding skin
3. An abscess that settles and then returns
4. Discomfort that affects sitting or daily activities

These symptoms do not confirm a fistula on their own. An examination helps identify the cause and determine whether further evaluation is needed.

Why one treatment does not suit every fistula

Fistulas vary in their location, length and relationship to the muscles that control bowel movements. Some may also have branches or have returned after previous treatment. Understanding these details is central to selecting a suitable procedure.

At Thrissur Piles Clinic, Dr. Raviram assesses each case before recommending a treatment plan. The clinic describes using imaging when appropriate to help map a fistula’s path. This is especially useful when the condition is complex or has recurred.

Treatment options offered at the clinic include fistulotomy, fistulectomy and laser fistula closure, also known as FiLaC. Dr. Raviram also works with other minimally invasive techniques. Each option has its place, and a patient’s diagnosis guides the choice. Laser treatment may be appropriate in selected cases, but its suitability cannot be decided without evaluating the fistula.

A consultation gives patients the opportunity to ask:

1. What type of fistula do I have?
2. Is further imaging needed?
3. Why do you recommend this procedure?
4. What should I expect during recovery and follow-up?

Answers to these questions help patients make informed decisions and set realistic expectations.

Specialist care in Thrissur

Dr. Raviram S is a gastrointestinal surgeon and laser proctologist with more than 16 years of experience. He founded Thrissur Piles Clinic to provide focused care for fistulas and other anorectal conditions. He holds an MS in General Surgery and an MCh in Surgical Gastroenterology from Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram. His practice includes conventional surgery as well as minimally invasive proctology procedures.

For patients whose symptoms have returned after treatment, a fresh assessment is particularly important. Reviewing the earlier procedure and examining the current fistula can help clarify why the problem persists and what options may now be suitable. Dr. Raviram’s approach centres on understanding the individual case before discussing the next step.

Embarrassment and fear of surgery often lead people to delay an appointment. Yet recurring pain, swelling or discharge can continue to interrupt everyday life while the cause remains uncertain. Speaking to a specialist does not commit a patient to a procedure. It begins with finding out what is wrong and discussing what care may be needed.

Thrissur Piles Clinic is located on Civil Lines Road and serves patients from Thrissur and surrounding areas. Its fistula care combines clinical assessment, a choice of treatment methods and guidance tailored to the patient’s condition. For anyone living with repeated symptoms, an accurate diagnosis is the first step towards a clear treatment plan.

India’s creator economy is no longer a side hustle, it is becoming a serious career path for millions of influencers, coaches, educators, and independent professionals. Yet most creators with large, engaged followings still struggle with the same question: how do you actually convert an audience into income? A new book, 0 to 1 Crore in 365 Days, sets out to answer exactly that.

Billed as the first book to treat a creator’s social media profile as a monetizable business asset rather than just a personal brand, the book lays out a complete roadmap for creators and coaches who want to build an independent, sustainable income stream, without depending on brand deals, sponsorships, or unpredictable algorithm changes. For many readers, this book has the potential to genuinely change how they look at their own online presence, and their life along with it.

A Roadmap, Not a Motivational Pep Talk

Much of the content aimed at online earning tends to stay at the level of mindset and inspiration. 0 to 1 Crore in 365 Days is designed to go further, laying out a structured, month-by-month plan that walks a creator or coach through the practical mechanics of building a digital business: identifying a sellable skill, packaging it into a course, digital product, or coaching offer, setting up booking and payment systems, building a community, and scaling income over a 12-month period.

The book is built around a simple but often overlooked idea: a creator’s Instagram, YouTube, or LinkedIn profile is not just a content channel, it is the front door to a business. The focus is on helping creators and coaches convert that attention into recurring revenue through courses, digital products, one-on-one coaching, and community memberships, rather than relying solely on ad revenue or brand partnerships.

Filling a Gap in the Creator Economy Conversation

While the broader conversation around content creation in India has matured quickly, resources that explain how coaches and creators can earn online in a structured, replicable way remain limited. Most existing material either focuses narrowly on growing followers or offers generic entrepreneurship advice not built for the realities of running a one-person creator business, juggling content, sales, delivery, and community, often without a team.

0 to 1 Crore in 365 Days is positioned to fill that gap as a dedicated creator monetization book, aimed squarely at people who are seriously searching for a working model of online income rather than another motivational read. The core agenda is to offer a genuine, usable path, not a promise, but a framework, for creators and coaches to move from zero revenue to a meaningful, sustainable income within a defined timeframe.

Read It Anytime, Anywhere

The book is available in PDF format, so readers can pick it up on their phone, tablet, or laptop, whenever they have the time, without waiting for a physical copy to arrive. Anyone interested can simply click through to the website to get their copy and start working through the roadmap at their own pace.

Who the Book Is For

The book is aimed at a broad but clearly defined audience: coaches looking to move their expertise online, influencers and content creators who have built an audience but not yet a revenue model, educators exploring digital products, and working professionals considering the shift from a single income source to an independent, creator-led business. For readers searching for a coach monetization guide or trying to understand how to turn an Instagram profile into a business, the book positions itself as a direct, no-fluff answer.

SPONSERED

New Delhi [India], September 21: The reported collapse of a large German Hangar Tent structure at GIFT City, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, in the early hours of September 18, 2026, has brought renewed attention to the importance of structural safety and pre-event inspections for large temporary venues.

According to information circulating about the incident, the structure was approximately 60 × 100 metres in size and reportedly collapsed at around 4:30 AM. The aluminium framework and tent structure reportedly gave way across the site.

While the incident reportedly occurred before the scheduled public gathering, the scale of the structure makes it important to understand the technical circumstances behind the collapse. Temporary structures designed for large gatherings require careful assessment of their design, materials, anchoring systems, load capacity, wind resistance and installation.

The incident may therefore warrant a detailed technical examination by qualified structural and material experts.

One area that could provide important clarity is the documentation associated with the structure. Relevant authorities may review the Structural Certificate, Stability Certificate, Wind Load Certificate, approved drawings and other engineering documents to establish whether the structure installed at the site corresponded with the design and specifications that had been approved.

The material used in the structure may also be examined independently. According to information circulating about the arrangements, materials were reportedly sourced from BESTENT, while Diamond Aircon Services of Ghaziabad and Sushila Decorators or Emotion Event of Meerut have been mentioned in connection with the arrangements. The exact contractual and supply relationships between the parties should be established through official records and documentation.

Independent testing of the aluminium components could help determine their grade, specifications and physical condition. Such testing may also assist experts in understanding whether the reported deformation or breakage was related to material characteristics, structural loading, connections, installation or other factors.

Another aspect that may require verification is the wind-load assessment for the temporary structure. A structure of approximately 60 × 100 metres can be exposed to significant environmental forces, making anchoring, bracing and site-specific wind calculations important elements of its structural design.

If any IIT certification or IIT involvement has been cited in relation to the structure, material or design, the relevant documentation could also be independently verified. This would include establishing exactly what was examined or certified, the scope of the certification, the issuing authority and the date of the assessment.

It is important to distinguish between certification of a particular component, material, test or design and certification of an entire structure as finally installed at a particular location.

The circumstances surrounding the erection and inspection of the structure could also form part of the review. Investigators may examine whether the actual installation followed the approved drawings and whether critical elements such as foundations, anchoring points, joints, connectors, cables and bracing were inspected before the venue was intended to be used.

There have also been claims regarding the removal of videos or online material connected with the incident. These claims should be independently verified through available communications and other evidence before any conclusion is reached.

Rather than focusing solely on individual parties, the broader objective should be to examine the complete safety process—from engineering design and material procurement to certification, transportation, installation, inspection and final approval.

A transparent technical assessment could help establish the actual cause of the reported collapse and determine whether any improvements are required in the way large temporary structures are designed, installed and inspected.

The incident also highlights a wider lesson for event organisers and authorities: safety assessments should remain an essential part of preparing large temporary venues, particularly when they are intended to accommodate significant numbers of people.

Preserving the collapsed components, documenting the site, reviewing engineering records and conducting appropriate laboratory testing can help ensure that conclusions are based on technical evidence rather than speculation.

Ultimately, the objective should be to understand what happened at the Gandhinagar site, verify the relevant documentation and identify measures that can reduce the possibility of similar incidents in the future.

A thorough and independent technical review can provide clarity to organisers, contractors, engineers, authorities and the public while contributing to safer standards for large-scale temporary events.

New Delhi [India], September 21: Shubh Sita Foundation is set to organise the second edition of the ‘Bihari Swabhiman Sammelan’ on October 4 at the Kedar Nath Sahni Auditorium, Ajmeri Gate, New Delhi. The first edition of the conference was successfully organised in Mumbai in 2025.

The conference aims to bring together people from Bihar living across India and around the world on a common platform to deliberate on the state’s present situation and its future direction over the next 10 to 15 years, particularly in the context of the changing global economic and geopolitical landscape.

The event is being positioned as an independent and neutral platform for dialogue on the comprehensive development of Bihar, rather than an initiative associated with any particular political party or ideology.

Several prominent political leaders have been invited to participate, including Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, Union Minister Annapurna Devi, Dr. Dharmshila Gupta, BJP National Secretary Rituraj Sinha, JD(U) Working President Sanjay Kumar Jha, Health Minister Nishant Kumar, Rajya Sabha MP Akhilesh Prasad Singh, Jan Suraaj National President Uday Singh, Prashant Kishor, Satish Kumar Singh, Sports Minister Shreyashi Singh, Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari and Urban Development Minister Nitish Mishra, among others.

The conference will also bring together prominent personalities from industry, cinema, arts and the social sector. Those invited include actor Pankaj Tripathi, Kranti Prakash Jha, actress Akshara Singh, actor Shekhar Suman, Writer /Producer Dilip Jha , Vedanta Group Chairman Anil Agarwal, PHIL Group’s Praveen Jha, Sandip Jha of Sandeep Group of Institutes, Prabhat Ranjan of Vespi Fusion, businesswoman Seema Singh, former IAS officer Jagdip Narayan Singh, senior journalists Santosh Singh and Shrikant Pratyush.

Bihar’s evolving political, social and economic landscape will be among the key areas of discussion at the conference. Participants will deliberate on the aspirations of Bihar’s youth and educated sections of society, the state’s development priorities and the emerging expectations of people both within Bihar and among the Bihari diaspora.

The programme is expected to draw policymakers, bureaucrats, entrepreneurs, civil society representatives, professionals and members of the Bihari diaspora from Bihar and different parts of the country.

Bihar’s political landscape has remained complex and constantly evolving, making it increasingly difficult for people to clearly understand the distinct positions, priorities and long-term vision of different political parties. At the same time, women continue to remain comparatively under-represented in Bihar’s electoral politics and political leadership, despite their significant participation as voters.

Against this backdrop, the Bihari Swabhiman Sammelan seeks to provide a neutral and inclusive platform where political representatives, women leaders, professionals and members of civil society can come together, express their perspectives and participate in a broader discussion on Bihar’s future. The platform also aims to create greater space for women’s voices and encourage their participation in conversations around governance, development and public leadership.

The organisers believe that people from Bihar living outside the state can play an important role in its economic, social and cultural development. The ‘Bihari Swabhiman Sammelan’ seeks to strengthen this collective engagement and provide a neutral platform for dialogue, ideas and collaboration towards Bihar’s future.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], September 21: Tarnetar, Surendranagar: On the third day of the world-renowned Tarnetar Fair, a research-based book titled ‘Tarnetar No Melo (Historical and Cultural Heritage of the Panchal Region)’ was formally released at the Trinetreshwar Mahadev temple complex. Authored by Dr. Sheetal Koisha, Director, Young India Research Foundation (YIRF), Gandhinagar, the book examines the history and cultural heritage of the Panchal region.

Historical photographs, manuscripts, documentary material and field sketches have been incorporated into the publication to present the changing character of the Tarnetar Fair. The research approaches the fair not only as a religious gathering but also as a tradition closely connected with the social and cultural life of the Panchal region.

Speaking at the release, Dr. Sheetal Koisha said that preservation of local heritage should not remain limited to the continuation of fairs and festivals. Systematic documentation of history, traditions and community life, along with efforts to make such material accessible to younger generations, is equally important. She also shared details of an initiative to make the book available to schools and educational institutions in Surendranagar district.

The book is the outcome of five years of research by Dr. Sheetal Koisha, Director, Young India Research Foundation (YIRF), Gandhinagar, and brings together various dimensions of the folk culture and heritage of the Panchal region as a research reference. Public representatives and members of the academic community present at the ceremony congratulated Dr. Koisha on the publication.

New Delhi [India], September 21: Arif Patel is a visionary leader who has consistently recognized the immense potential of the modern business landscape in the Middle East. His strategic foresight has guided numerous enterprises toward unprecedented growth and financial stability in the region.

The contemporary global economy demands agility and strategic positioning from corporations seeking long term success and sustainable expansion. Organizations worldwide are constantly evaluating their operational structures to maximize profitability and minimize unnecessary regulatory burdens across various international jurisdictions.

Dubai has rapidly emerged as the premier global hub for international commerce, innovation, and strategic financial management. The emirate offers an unrivaled ecosystem designed to foster business growth, attract top tier talent, and facilitate seamless cross border trade.

The visionary leadership of Arif Patel Dubai has been instrumental in inspiring traditional corporate entities to rethink their operational models. By embracing the forward-thinking regulatory frameworks of the region, businesses can unlock entirely new avenues of commercial potential.

Corporate transformation is rarely a simple endeavor, yet visionary executives understand that stagnation is the greatest risk of all. Adapting to the dynamic economic shifts requires decisive action, careful planning, and a deep understanding of modern financial center advantages.

The deliberate shift toward incorporating within Dubai financial centers represents a major milestone for ambitious enterprises. This strategic relocation allows organizations to optimize their tax strategies, enhance their global reputation, and access deep pools of international capital.

Navigating the complexities of company registration in dubai requires specialized knowledge and meticulous attention to detail. Professional guidance ensures that every regulatory requirement is met efficiently, paving the way for a smooth and compliant market entry.

Establishing a formidable presence in the United Arab Emirates grants businesses immediate access to booming markets spanning Asia, Africa, and Europe. This geographic advantage is further amplified by world class infrastructure and cutting-edge digital connectivity.

The comprehensive process to incorporate dubai entities has become increasingly streamlined, thanks to progressive government initiatives. These modern legal frameworks are specifically tailored to welcome foreign investment and encourage large scale corporate migration.

When pursuing a successful business setup in dubai, corporate leaders must carefully evaluate their long-term strategic objectives. Partnering with seasoned industry experts ensures that the chosen corporate structure aligns perfectly with anticipated growth trajectories.

The overarching ecosystem supporting any comprehensive business setup in uae is renowned for its transparency, security, and efficiency. Regulatory authorities work tirelessly to maintain an environment that encourages fair competition and protects investor interests.

Corporate restructuring driven by leaders like Arif Patel emphasizes the importance of future proofing business operations. Organizations must anticipate global economic trends and position themselves proactively in jurisdictions that offer stability and growth.

Financial centers within the emirate provide specialized regulatory zones that cater to diverse industry sectors, from fintech to traditional banking. These dedicated clusters encourage collaboration and innovation among industry leaders, creating a thriving commercial community.

The strategic decision to migrate corporate headquarters to the Middle East often results in significant operational cost reductions. Lower corporate tax rates combined with zero personal income tax create a highly attractive financial proposition for stakeholders.

Achieving a seamless transition involves comprehensive audits of existing corporate structures and meticulous legal planning. Every subsidiary, holding company, and operational unit must be transitioned in a manner that preserves business continuity and protects assets.

The growing influx of multinational corporations into the region underscores the undeniable appeal of the local business climate. Market leaders recognize that being absent from this dynamic financial hub means missing out on crucial global opportunities.

Arif Patel continues to champion initiatives that modernize corporate governance and encourage international trade best practices. His influence extends across multiple sectors, inspiring a new generation of business leaders to embrace strategic geographic diversification.

The meticulous execution of company registration in dubai involves gathering necessary documentation, securing appropriate licenses, and establishing banking relationships. Each of these critical steps demands precision and adherence to strict local compliance standards.

Securing a robust corporate footprint through a strategic business setup in dubai unlocks unprecedented networking opportunities. Enterprises can connect directly with global decision makers, venture capitalists, and industry pioneers within a single localized ecosystem.

The broader landscape of business setup in uae offers tailored solutions designed to accommodate micro enterprises as well as massive conglomerates. This versatility ensures that every organization, regardless of its current scale, can find a suitable operational home.

Financial resilience is a primary benefit realized by corporations that migrate their primary operations to well-regulated financial zones. Robust legal frameworks protect corporate assets and provide reliable mechanisms for dispute resolution and contract enforcement.

The integration of advanced technology into government and financial services has drastically reduced administrative processing times. Entrepreneurs and corporate executives can now establish their legal entities and commence operations faster than ever before.

Strategic planning regarding human capital is another vital component of successful corporate migration to the Middle East. The region attracts top tier professional talent from around the world, supported by favorable residency and visa policies for employees.

Arif Patel recognizes that sustainable corporate growth relies heavily on continuous innovation and adaptability in volatile markets. By moving operations to progressive financial hubs, companies insulate themselves against regional economic downturns and geopolitical shifts.

The complex journey to incorporate dubai based holding companies requires sophisticated legal and financial engineering. Expert advisors collaborate closely with corporate boards to design structures that optimize both domestic and international tax liabilities.

Executing a flawless company registration in dubai mandates a thorough understanding of federal laws and emirate specific regulations. Compliance with anti-money laundering and economic substance regulations remains paramount for maintaining good corporate standing.

The continuous evolution of the business setup in dubai framework demonstrates the government’s unwavering commitment to economic diversification. Authorities consistently update policies to reflect global financial standards and accommodate emerging technological advancements.

Thriving within the modern business setup in uae necessitates an active engagement with local chambers of commerce and industry networks. These associations provide invaluable insights into market dynamics, regulatory updates, and potential collaborative partnerships.

Corporate governance standards within the prominent financial centers of the UAE rival those of New York, London, and Singapore. This high level of regulatory maturity provides institutional investors with the confidence required to deploy substantial capital.

The strategic shift championed by industry leaders highlights a fundamental change in how global corporations view emerging markets. No longer seen merely as satellite sales offices, the Middle East is now firmly established as a primary command center.

Optimizing supply chain logistics and reducing overhead expenses are immediate operational benefits gained through strategic relocation. World class ports, airports, and free zone logistics corridors ensure that physical goods move seamlessly across international borders.

Arif Patel advocates for holistic corporate strategies that integrate financial optimization with environmental and social responsibility. Modern financial centers in the region actively encourage sustainable business practices through targeted incentives and green financing options.

The administrative intricacies involved when you incorporate dubai business entities require careful coordination among legal, tax, and operational teams. Engaging experienced corporate service providers minimizes the risk of costly delays and administrative oversights.

Navigating the nuances of company registration in dubai empowers foreign investors to retain full ownership of their commercial enterprises. This level of autonomy is a major deciding factor for multinational brands looking to protect their intellectual property.

The ultimate success of any business setup in dubai depends on the alignment of corporate culture with the local regulatory environment. Organizations that respect and integrate into the local ethos consistently achieve superior long term commercial outcomes.

Delving into the opportunities provided by a comprehensive business setup in uae reveals a landscape rich with innovation and growth potential. Government backed accelerators and incubators provide startups and established firms alike with the resources needed to scale.

International taxation treaties signed by the UAE offer substantial relief from double taxation, enhancing the profitability of cross border transactions. These agreements are a cornerstone of the nation’s strategy to attract foreign direct investment and global talent.

The strategic transition of corporate assets to secure jurisdictions protects companies against unforeseen domestic economic instabilities. Diversifying geographical operational bases is a hallmark of prudent risk management practiced by elite corporate executives.

Arif Patel remains at the forefront of discussions regarding the future of international commerce and corporate restructuring in emerging markets. His insights continue to shape policies and inspire organizations to pursue bold, forward thinking expansion strategies.

The methodical approach required to incorporate dubai subsidiaries ensures that parent companies maintain strict oversight while enjoying localized benefits. Transparent reporting standards and robust auditing requirements safeguard the interests of all stakeholders involved.

Comprehensive company registration in dubai opens doors to lucrative government procurement contracts and large-scale infrastructure projects. Being locally domiciled gives enterprises a distinct competitive advantage when bidding for major regional tenders.

The continuous refinement of the business setup in dubai process reflects a deep understanding of the needs of modern international investors. Digital portals now allow for remote applications, digital signatures, and rapid approvals across multiple business sectors.

Embracing the opportunities within the broader business setup in uae allows companies to leverage a highly educated and multicultural workforce. This diversity of thought and experience fuels creativity and drives operational excellence across all departments.

Financial institutions operating within the prominent regional centers offer bespoke wealth management and corporate banking solutions. These tailored services facilitate complex international transactions, liquidity management, and strategic capital allocation for growing firms.

The undeniable trend toward regional corporate migration signifies a permanent shift in the center of gravity for global finance and trade. Organizations that fail to adapt to these new realities risk losing their competitive edge in an increasingly interconnected world.

Corporate leadership today demands the courage to challenge traditional operational models and explore dynamic new jurisdictions for expansion. The willingness to embrace change separates stagnant organizations from those destined for enduring commercial greatness.

The legacy of strategic visionaries who champion modernization will continue to influence corporate behaviors for decades to come. Their pioneering efforts pave the way for a more efficient, interconnected, and prosperous global business ecosystem.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 21: India’s aviation growth story is often told through aircraft orders, new routes and expanding airports. But behind that expansion sits a more fundamental challenge: who will fly the aircraft?

The scale of the requirement is becoming clearer. In January 2026, Airbus projected that India’s commercial aircraft fleet could grow to around 2,250 aircraft by 2035, nearly three times the 2025 level. The same outlook estimated that India could require about 35,000 pilots by 2035, compared with roughly 12,000 today.

That changes the conversation around pilot training.

India does not simply need more people interested in aviation. It needs a stronger and more structured talent pipeline capable of taking young aspirants from early-stage interest to technical competence, licensing readiness and eventually professional cockpit careers.

For Hyderabad-based Aviate Aero Academy, this is where the opportunity and responsibility of pilot training increasingly meet.

The academy works across DGCA ground classes, Commercial Pilot Licence guidance, flying-training assistance and type-rating guidance, helping students understand the different stages involved in becoming a commercial pilot. Its role sits at the early end of the aviation talent pipeline, where many of the most important career decisions are made.

Building the Pipeline Before the Cockpit

The shortage question is sometimes reduced to a simple assumption: if airlines need more pilots, more students should enter flying schools.

The reality is more complicated.

A pilot career involves several stages before a candidate becomes employable by an airline. Students must understand eligibility requirements, medical certification, DGCA examinations, flying-school selection, licence requirements, hour-building, simulator training and, depending on the career path, type-rating and airline selection processes.

This makes early-stage preparation critical.

The aviation industry itself is investing more heavily in training capacity. In September 2025, Airbus and Air India inaugurated an advanced pilot-training centre in Gurugram designed to train more than 5,000 pilots over the following decade. The facility includes full-flight simulators, classrooms and training infrastructure for A320 and A350 aircraft families.

Such investments demonstrate an important reality: fleet growth and human-capital development must happen together.

Training capacity cannot be treated as an afterthought.

Ground Knowledge Remains the Foundation

For aspiring pilots, the pipeline starts long before they enter an airline simulator.

Subjects such as Air Navigation, Aviation Meteorology, Air Regulations and aircraft technical knowledge form an essential part of professional preparation. Understanding these areas is not simply about passing regulatory examinations; they underpin decisions pilots are expected to make in real operating environments.

Aviate Aero Academy’s DGCA-focused ground-school programmes are built around these technical foundations, while its broader guidance model helps students understand how classroom preparation connects with flying training and later stages of the career journey.

This connection matters because aviation training can easily become fragmented.

One institution may provide ground classes, another may conduct flying training, another may provide simulator or type-rating programmes, while students are left to work out how each stage connects with the next.

A more effective talent pipeline requires continuity.

Students need to understand not just the immediate examination or licence in front of them, but the sequence of decisions that leads toward professional readiness.

Quantity Alone Will Not Solve the Problem

India may need significantly more pilots, but increasing training numbers without maintaining quality would create a different problem.

Airbus has itself highlighted that aviation workforce expansion is not simply about adding personnel. Its current workforce outlook emphasises the importance of training new professionals with the competencies, safety awareness and technical capability required to support industry growth.

That distinction is important for training academies.

A commercial pilot must combine theoretical knowledge with operational judgement, communication, procedural discipline and situational awareness. Flying hours matter, but hours alone are not a complete measure of readiness.

This is also why students need to make informed choices when selecting flying schools.

Aircraft availability, instructor access, weather conditions, training continuity, regulatory requirements and completion timelines can all affect a student’s progress. For those training overseas, understanding how international licences, flying experience and documentation align with DGCA requirements becomes equally important.

Aviate Aero Academy’s guidance model addresses this stage by helping aspirants evaluate flying-training pathways in India and abroad rather than viewing the choice purely through the lens of advertised cost or speed.

Creating Better-Informed Aspirants

Another part of the talent challenge is awareness.

For many students and families, aviation remains a specialised career path with unfamiliar terminology, regulatory requirements and financial commitments.

This means training institutions have a responsibility to provide clarity before enrolment.

Young aspirants need realistic information about timelines, examinations, medical requirements, flying hours and career progression. Parents need to understand where the major training investments occur and what factors can influence completion.

Good guidance should reduce uncertainty rather than simply sell aspiration.

That becomes increasingly important as aviation attracts more students.

India’s projected fleet growth could create substantial opportunity, but it may also bring more training providers, more competing claims and more choices for students to navigate.

The institutions that contribute meaningfully to the future talent pipeline will therefore need to combine training with transparency.

Preparing for the Next Phase of Indian Aviation

India’s pilot requirement will not be solved by a single academy, airline or training centre.

It will require an ecosystem involving airlines, flying schools, ground-training academies, simulator centres, regulators and students themselves.

But every pipeline begins somewhere.

For Aviate Aero Academy, that starting point is helping aspiring pilots develop the knowledge, preparation and career clarity required before they advance into professional flying.

As India’s commercial fleet expands towards the next decade, the industry will need thousands of new pilots.

The larger challenge will be ensuring that those pilots are not simply trained in sufficient numbers, but prepared to the standards that a rapidly expanding aviation market demands.

That is where the real talent pipeline will be built.

Appointment strengthens leadership as the global executive search and leadership advisory firm scales operations across South Asia

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], September 21: Archer & Bull, a global executive search and leadership advisory firm, has appointed Parag Patil as Chief Operating Officer, India, strengthening its leadership team as it accelerates its growth strategy across India and South Asia.

The appointment follows Archer & Bull’s recently announced expansion in India, where it has operated since 2015. India currently contributes an estimated 10% of the firm’s global revenues, with this expected to double over the coming year. The firm is expanding its capabilities across CXO and executive search, board succession advisory and planning, digital and consumer leadership, technology, fintech, GCCs and cross-border leadership.

Commenting on the new appointment and Archer & Bull’s plans to strengthen its India leadership and scale operations globally, Rajat Mehra, Founder, Archer & Bull, said, “India is today a global leadership hub, producing CEOs, technology leaders, digital transformation specialists and business builders who are taking on larger mandates across markets. For Archer & Bull, India is both a strategic growth market and an important part of our global leadership proposition.”

“As we scale and penetrate across new markets and verticals, Parag’s combination of working in large-scale enterprises across the Middle East and India will help our growth immensely. His experience as CHRO in his previous roles, will not only bring a rich client-side perspective but also an understanding of global leadership hiring, providing invaluable strength in supporting our next phase of growth”, he added.

Patil brings extensive experience, having led in senior roles across diverse domains including IT, retail, FMCG and fintech among others. He served in in leading organisations such as Fathima Group of Companies, Unikai and Wadzpay in his previous experience. In his new role at Archer & Bull, he will strengthen the firm’s operational scale, organisational capabilities and execution, as it expands its business across South Asia.

Parag Patil, COO, India, Archer & Bull, said, “Leadership hiring is undergoing a fundamental shift as organisations look beyond conventional credentials, for leaders who can navigate transformation, build new capabilities and create measurable business impact. Archer & Bull has an opportunity to be at the centre of this change, combining deep market understanding with a global perspective on leadership. I look forward to building on this foundation and helping scale the firm’s India business.”

Archer & Bull’s India growth comes as executive hiring becomes more strategic. AI-led transformation, the expansion of GCCs, digital business models and increasing cross-border talent movement are changing the capabilities organisations expect from senior leaders. The firm is consequently positioning its practice beyond traditional executive recruitment, with a stronger focus on leadership advisory, transformational leadership and cross-border mandates.

Archer & Bull has undertaken strategic mandates for organisations including Nykaa and Tata Group companies such as Trent and Westside, particularly across digital leadership, growth and transformation roles. Its India expansion will strengthen its consultant network and sector-specialist capabilities across technology, consumer, retail, fintech, digital businesses, and GCCs, while leveraging its international network for cross-border leadership mandates.

About Archer & Bull

Founded in 2014, Archer & Bull is a global executive search and leadership advisory firm specialising in senior leadership and CXO search, cross-border leadership hiring, expatriate talent solutions and strategic boardroom appointments. Headquartered in Dubai, the firm has a presence across the Middle East, India, Africa and South Asia and has operated in India since 2015, with teams in Dubai, Singapore, Gurugram and Bengaluru.

‘The Adventures of Miraya and Mikhail’ brings critical thinking, adaptability, creativity and global citizenship to life through the adventures of two kindergarten friends

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 21: After more than 25 years in education, Fatema Agarkar is adding author to her repertoire. The educationist and entrepreneur, who has been involved in setting up close to 50 preschools and schools and has served as Vice President of the Early Childhood Association, is entering the world of children’s literature with The Adventures of Miraya and Mikhail, a new series for young readers. The first title will launch in December 2026.

Created for children aged three to five, the series follows Miraya and Mikhail, two kindergarten friends with distinctly different personalities, as they navigate friendship, disagreements, curiosity and the world around them. Planned as a 10-to-12-book series, each title will explore a different theme, including critical thinking, creativity, adaptability, decision-making, ethics, curiosity, originality and global citizenship.

The idea for the series grew from Agarkar’s experience of working with children, parents and educators, and her belief that some of the most important ideas children encounter are best understood through stories and everyday experiences. Rather than presenting these concepts as lessons, the books place them within the lives of two young children who are constantly asking questions and forming their own perspectives.

“Nearly three decades of working with children, teachers and parents has shown me that knowledge can be acquired, but skills need to be experienced,” says Fatema Agarkar. “Stories give children a way to understand an idea, question it, talk about it and eventually put it into action. That is what I hope Miraya and Mikhail will do — make these important skills feel natural, relatable and fun.”

Miraya is outspoken, energetic and quick to change her mind, with dreams of becoming an astrophysicist while pursuing hockey and ballet. Her best friend Mikhail is quieter and more reflective, an avid reader who loves football, dancing and history. Their contrasting personalities shape their friendship as they navigate disagreements, mistakes and discoveries, with Daffy the Dolphin joining them along the way.

The series is also rooted in the realities of contemporary childhood. Artificial intelligence, climate change, extreme weather and shifting social and geopolitical landscapes are no longer distant concepts; they form part of the world children are growing up in. Miraya and Mikhail encounter these subjects with the curiosity and candour of children who may not have all the answers, but are unafraid to ask.

“Children today are growing up in a world that is more volatile, more connected and more complex,” adds Agarkar. “They are listening to conversations about climate change, technology, economics and what is happening around them. They may not understand everything yet, but they are asking questions. Miraya and Mikhail give those questions a voice.”

Designed to be read with parents and educators, the books are intended to open conversations beyond the page, with opportunities for discussion, role play and reflection. The characters are deliberately imperfect: they make mistakes, laugh, disagree, change their minds and find their way through conflict, reflecting Agarkar’s belief that childhood should have the space to unfold rather than be hurried towards adulthood.

New Delhi [India], September 21: A home is defined by its spaces and comforts. A community takes shape through the people and experiences that give those spaces their character. For Prateek Group, this thought is reflected in the way it approaches the creation of homes and communities bringing together craftsmanship, thoughtful spaces, nature and lifestyle to make everyday living more meaningful.

This idea lies at the heart of Life at Prateek, reflecting the belief that a developer’s relationship with its communities should extend beyond delivering a physical address, creating opportunities for people to celebrate, participate and build memories together. It represents an approach where the experience of living is considered alongside the space itself, creating environments that feel personal, connected and purposeful.

From cultural gatherings to gardening workshops, the program brings attention to the everyday experiences that shape a sense of belonging. It is an approach to community living that values how people engage with their surroundings and with one another, making experiential living an important part of the lifestyle Prateek Group seeks to create.

Creating Experiences Beyond the Everyday

Life at Prateek brings residents together through cultural programs, festival celebrations, national day observances, wellness activities and social gatherings.

Experiences such as Lohri Carnival 2026, Christmas Mela at Prateek Grand City, Independence Day celebrations and Togetherness at Prateek Stylome have brought residents into shared spaces for moments of celebration and connection. These experiences reflect the belief that communities become more meaningful when they create opportunities for people to come together and make memories.

Live music creates opportunities for relaxed evenings together, while puppet shows and children’s storytelling sessions introduce imagination, creativity and learning into the community environment. Such experiences add a human dimension to residential living, making shared spaces part of everyday life rather than simply areas within a development.

Flea markets add another dimension, giving residents an opportunity to explore, interact and spend time together. These gatherings create occasions for neighbors to meet beyond their daily routines, helping familiar surroundings become more personal and allowing experiential living to unfold through simple, shared moments.

Where Greenery Becomes Part of Living

A connection with nature can begin with small, everyday actions. At Prateek Grand City, the Harit Ghar initiative encouraged residents to explore vertical and balcony gardening, bringing greenery into their own homes.

The workshops connected environmental awareness with practical participation, making gardening an activity that families could continue beyond the event. In this way, nature becomes part of everyday lifestyle, encouraging residents to experience greenery not simply as an element of the landscape but as part of their surroundings.

Alongside these resident initiatives, the Group’s project planning provides another perspective on shared living. Prateek Canary in Sector 150, Noida, includes landscaped spaces, an outdoor reading area, a yoga and meditation lawn, and a wellness garden in its published plans. These planned spaces illustrate how opportunities for recreation, reflection and interaction can be considered within residential design, where craftsmanship and thoughtful planning meet landscape, nature and everyday living.

This relationship with nature also connects with biophilia, the natural human connection with the living world. By bringing greenery, landscaped environments and nature-led spaces closer to everyday life, residential design can create a more balanced relationship between the built environment and its surroundings. Here, nature becomes more than a visual element; it contributes to the character and experience of the spaces people call home.

Wellness and Responsibility Within the Community

Wellbeing also finds expression through practical support. As part of its CSR activities, Prateek Group, through Prateek Foundation Aakar, organized a COVID-19 vaccination camp at Prateek Edifice in June 2021. The initiative covered residents, society staff, Group employees and third-party workers, bringing healthcare support into the community.

Prateek Group has also organized health camps for residents, security personnel and workers, bringing healthcare support closer to the people who live and work within its communities. Such initiatives reflect a broader understanding of community wellbeing, where care extends beyond residents to the people who contribute to the everyday functioning of a community.

At Prateek Grand City, Yoga Day sessions brought residents together around movement and wellbeing. Alongside gardening activities, such experiences create opportunities to make personal wellbeing a shared pursuit. Together, these initiatives reflect a curated approach to wellness, where health, nature and participation become part of everyday community life.

These initiatives connect the community experience with care for the people who live and work within it, reflecting Prateek Group’s belief that wellbeing is an important part of a fulfilling lifestyle.

A Sense of Belonging at Work

The spirit of Life at Prateek also appears in workplace celebrations. In an official account of its Navratri festivities, Prateek Group described employees coming together at its office for a dandiya evening filled with music and celebration.

Such occasions offer a glimpse of employee culture through shared participation. They give colleagues an opportunity to connect beyond their work responsibilities and bring a social dimension to office culture.

The connection with the residential experience is simple: a sense of belonging grows when people have opportunities to spend time together. Whether within a workplace or a residential community, shared experiences give spaces a sense of identity and make them more personal.

Culture, Connection and Belonging

Residential communities bring together families with different backgrounds, traditions and experiences. Cultural celebrations create opportunities to share those traditions and discover those of others, adding richness to the lifestyle that develops within a community.

The Uttarayani Mahotsav at Prateek Grand City, where women and children from the society participated in folk performances, is one example of a gathering that connects generations through cultural expression.

From festivals and live music to storytelling and national day celebrations, a rhythm of participation within the community can turn unfamiliar faces into familiar ones and neighbors into friends. Over time, repeated encounters can establish experiences they come to share.

This is where community living takes on a deeper meaning: in the relationships people build and the experiences they come to share. These moments give the spaces around them a sense of warmth and character creating the soulful spaces that are shaped as much by people as by design.

More Than Delivering Homes

For Prateek Group, the experience of a home continues beyond possession. It develops through the surroundings residents encounter each day, the celebrations they join and the memories they create. It is shaped by the thought that goes into the spaces themselves, from craftsmanship and design to nature, greenery and the experiences that bring people together.

A sense of community also involves awareness and shared responsibility. Regular safety drills across Prateek societies encourage resident participation, helping people become familiar with emergency procedures and response protocols.

Together, cultural experiences, wellness initiatives, CSR activities and opportunities for participation give substance to the idea behind Life at Prateek. They reflect a vision where thoughtfully crafted spaces, connection with nature, meaningful experiences and wellbeing come together to shape a more considered way of living.

Buildings provide the framework for living. The people, relationships and experiences within them bring a community to life.

Together, these experiences reflect Prateek Group’s vision – a story of fine living shaped by thoughtful spaces, meaningful experiences, wellbeing, nature and a sense of belonging.

HAR is being designed to help real people voluntarily participate in AI projects, verify consent through selective disclosure, and earn from eligible contributions while supporting authentic human-origin data for AI development.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 19: MotionGravity is developing the Human Authenticity Registry (HAR), a human-verification and contributor framework intended to give ordinary people a legitimate way to participate in the growing AI economy through consent-based, paid contribution.

As artificial intelligence becomes part of everyday life, most people experience AI as users or consumers. HAR is being developed around a different idea: people should also be able to participate directly in how AI systems are improved, understand what they contribute, give clear consent, and receive value.

At its core, HAR is intended to establish that a real human participated in a contribution or provided consent, while supporting selective disclosure so people do not necessarily need to expose more personal information than required for a specific purpose.

The aim is to create a trusted layer between people and AI projects: one where human participation can be verified, consent recorded clearly, and contributors can benefit from that verification.

“AI is being built from human knowledge, behaviour, language, images, voices and real-world experience, but ordinary people rarely have a direct way to participate in that process,” said Jythesh T Achary, Technical Director at MotionGravity. “HAR is being developed to create that pathway — where a real person can knowingly consent, contribute something of value, and be paid for eligible participation. At the same time, projects gain greater confidence that the data they receive comes from authentic human participants.”

Rather than treating contributors as anonymous one-time sources of data, HAR is intended to create continuity. Once verified, a person may become eligible for projects based on language, location, skills, knowledge, devices, documents, or other requirements.

Verification is therefore intended to become more than a security check. A verified participant may be able to access future opportunities where authentic human participation matters, while avoiding the need to repeatedly establish that they are a real consenting person.

From Verification to Real Participation

MotionGravity is developing specialised contributor projects on top of this HAR verification layer.

Project Atlas focuses on authentic documents and document imagery. Contributors can check whether documents they already possess may be eligible for a current requirement by identifying the document name or type. No upload is required simply to check eligibility.

Where a project requires genuine real-world documents from consenting individuals, HAR verification can provide additional confidence around the human source and participation behind that data. For contributors, Atlas creates a way to discover whether documents they legitimately possess may qualify for a paid contribution.

Project Lumen applies the same principle to human knowledge and video. Verified contributors may participate by explaining, teaching or demonstrating subjects and skills they genuinely know.

That may include a practical activity, software workflow, professional subject, trade, hobby, lesson, equipment demonstration, interview or presentation. The objective is not to recruit influencers or professional presenters, but to enable ordinary people to contribute authentic human knowledge in a form that can help improve AI systems.

Together, Atlas and Lumen demonstrate how HAR can move from verification into practical participation: one trusted human layer supporting different forms of authentic data contribution.

Helping People Participate in the AI Economy

MotionGravity’s broader objective is to make AI participation accessible beyond traditional technology and data-work roles.

A person may qualify for one project because of a language they speak, another because of a skill they can demonstrate, another because of a document they possess, and another because of their voice, image or real-world experience.

In this model, people are not simply treated as raw sources of data. They become recognised participants in the process. MotionGravity describes the goal as creating a legitimate pathway through which individuals can consent, contribute and earn, while helping AI systems gain access to authentic human-origin data.

HAR is also being developed with longer-term applications around digital authenticity. As synthetic images, voices and videos become more sophisticated, MotionGravity intends to explore how the verification layer can eventually support broader anti-deepfake, authenticity and consent-verification technologies.

The company plans to expand HAR with additional opportunities across image, speech, audio, language, video, documents and other multimodal data categories.

About MotionGravity

MotionGravity is an India-based technology and data services organisation specialising in precision data collection and AI dataset production. Its capabilities include audio and speech data, transcription, annotation, OCR, image and video collection, dubbing, captioning, language services and multimodal data programs.

Through HAR and contributor projects such as Atlas and Lumen, MotionGravity is developing infrastructure intended to connect verified human participation with legitimate AI-data requirements.

Loopie shares the baby travel essentials Indian parents should have on their checklist, from stroller and car seat to diaper bag, and how its own product range was built around each one.

New Delhi [India], September 19: As more Indian families travel with young children, from weekend getaways and airport runs to everyday city outings, the right gear can be the difference between a manageable trip and a stressful one. With so many options on the market, parents often need to look past price and appearance to what actually holds up under real travel conditions.

Loopie, India’s first premium baby-gear brand founded by Akriti Gupta, has put together a checklist of what it considers non-negotiable for baby travel: a stroller that folds quickly and travels light, a car seat that installs safely in more than one type of vehicle, and a diaper bag organised for fast changes on the move. The brand has featured on Shark Tank India and says its products are used by more than 6,000 families across the country.

Stroller: built for transit, not just the park. According to Loopie, a premium baby stroller needs to fold in seconds, ideally one-handed, since parents are often managing a baby, a boarding pass, and hand luggage at the same time. Weight matters just as much; a stroller light enough to lift into a car boot or overhead bin alone makes a real difference over a trip. The Loopie Hop, one of the brand’s flagship premium baby stroller models, has been tested to meet requirements associated with EN 1888-2, a European safety standard for pushchairs, and is built around a 6000-series aluminium frame that keeps total weight to 8.4kg. It also uses shock-absorbing EVA-Rubber wheels for uneven terminal floors and city streets, a UV-protective UPF 50+ canopy, OEKO-TEX certified fabric, and a built-in mosquito net – features Loopie says are aimed specifically at Indian travel conditions rather than generic use.

Car seat: needs to adapt, because vehicles on a trip rarely do. Loopie notes that travelling often means using a car seat in an unfamiliar vehicle, sometimes without ISOFIX anchor points available. A car seat built for travel should be installed both ways safely, with ISOFIX and Top Tether where the vehicle supports it, and with a standard 3-point seatbelt where it doesn’t. The Loopie Lap is designed around this flexibility: UN ECE R44/04 certified, with a 5-point harness and 360° rotation for easier loading in tight spaces, and coverage across Groups 0+ to 3, meaning the same seat can be used from infancy through to around 12 years of age rather than needing to be replaced mid-way. Its fabric is OEKO-TEX certified as well, relevant for a seat likely to be used in unfamiliar cars and settings more often than usual during travel.

Diaper bag: organised for speed, not just capacity. Travel days typically mean more frequent, faster nappy changes, often in cramped airplane bathrooms or car back seats, and a bag that requires digging through one large compartment can slow that down at exactly the wrong moment. Loopie’s Robin diaper bag is built with 19 separate compartments, intended to keep diapers, wipes, bottles, and a change of clothes each in a fixed place so parents aren’t searching mid-change.

Loopie also suggests packing a familiar comfort item, a blanket or a small toy, somewhere easily reachable rather than buried in checked luggage, noting that a familiar object can help babies settle more easily into new environments and disrupted routines while travelling.

With its combination of internationally recognised safety standards, practical design choices, and features aimed specifically at Indian travel conditions, Loopie says it wants to help parents make more confident decisions about the gear they travel with, rather than choosing on price or appearance alone. Anyone shopping specifically for a premium baby stroller for travel can browse the full Loopie Hop range and specs on the stroller page.
The company has raised ~13 crore so far in an equity-and-debt fundraise led by Sauce VC, according to media reports, funding it says is being used to support its growth and expansion in the baby-gear segment. Alongside its products, Loopie shares practical parenting and travel guides for families on the go.

By Dr. Shradha Malik, Founder & CEO at Athena Behavioural Health

New Delhi [India], September 19: A person may wake up tired after a full night’s sleep, struggle to concentrate during meetings, and feel unable to complete even routine tasks. They may stop enjoying conversations, become irritable with family and begin to question their ability to do work they once handled confidently.

The first explanation is often, “I am just stressed.”

Sometimes it is burnout. Sometimes it is depression. In many cases, the two may overlap.

The symptoms can look similar, but the underlying problem, clinical risk and appropriate treatment may be different. Understanding that difference is important because emotional exhaustion should not be dismissed as a normal cost of working hard, while depression should not be treated as something that will automatically disappear after a holiday.

When workplace stress becomes burnout

The World Health Organization describes burnout in the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision, as an occupational phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterised by energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance or cynicism towards one’s job, and reduced professional efficacy. Burnout is specifically limited to the occupational context and is not classified as a medical disorder.

This definition helps distinguish burnout from ordinary tiredness.

A demanding week may leave someone tired, but rest, support and a return to normal workload may restore their energy. Burnout develops when workplace stress becomes prolonged, and the person does not have sufficient recovery, control, support or resources.

The person may begin to feel emotionally detached from work. Tasks that once felt meaningful may seem pointless. They may become cynical about colleagues, clients or the organisation. Even when they continue working, they may feel increasingly ineffective and disconnected from the result.

Burnout is therefore not simply “having a busy schedule.” It is a pattern of exhaustion, detachment and reduced professional confidence linked to chronic work-related stress.

Why burnout resembles depression

Burnout and depression share several symptoms.

Both can involve low energy, poor concentration, sleep disturbance, irritability, reduced motivation, withdrawal and a feeling that ordinary tasks require too much effort. A person experiencing burnout may stop participating in family life and social activities, which can look like depression from the outside.

The overlap is also recognised in research. A 2025 meta-analytic study involving 14 samples and more than 12,000 participants found a particularly strong relationship between burnout-related exhaustion and depressive symptoms. The researchers noted that the two conditions overlap substantially, even though they are not necessarily the same construct.

This means a person should not be expected to determine the diagnosis alone by searching for a symptom checklist.

A psychiatrist needs to understand where the symptoms occur, how long they have lasted, whether they improve away from work, whether the person still experiences pleasure in other areas of life and whether there are additional symptoms such as hopelessness, guilt or suicidal thoughts.

The most useful difference is context

A useful starting question is whether the distress is mainly connected to work or whether it has spread across every part of life.

In burnout, symptoms are often strongest when a person thinks about work, enters the workplace, checks email or faces a particular workload or organisational environment. They may feel some relief during time away from work, although severe burnout may not improve immediately during leave.

In depression, low mood or loss of interest may continue across settings. The person may feel unable to enjoy time with family, hobbies, food, exercise or social contact. A weekend or holiday may not bring meaningful relief because the problem is no longer limited to the work environment.

This distinction is useful but not absolute. Burnout can become severe enough to affect life outside work. Depression can also be triggered or worsened by occupational stress. The two can exist at the same time.

The question is not always “burnout or depression?” It may be “Has workplace burnout developed alongside depression, anxiety, sleep problems or substance use?”

When exhaustion becomes a broader mental-health concern

Work-related burnout deserves clinical attention when the symptoms continue despite rest or begin to affect the whole person.

Warning signs include persistent low mood outside work, inability to experience pleasure, severe sleep disruption, changes in appetite, hopelessness, excessive guilt, emotional numbness, panic symptoms, increased alcohol or substance use, repeated physical complaints and withdrawal from people or activities that previously mattered.

A person may also feel that they are failing everywhere, not just professionally. This broader sense of worthlessness is more concerning than feeling temporarily ineffective at work.

Thoughts such as “My family would be better without me,” “There is no point in continuing,” or “I cannot go on” require urgent attention. Burnout should never be used to minimise suicidal thinking or a serious decline in functioning.

The danger of calling everything burnout

The word burnout has become common in workplace conversations. This has helped people talk about exhaustion, but it has also created a risk: serious depression may be described as burnout and left untreated.

A person may assume that changing jobs, taking leave or learning time-management skills will solve the problem. These changes may be useful when the condition is work-specific, but they may not be enough when the person is experiencing a depressive episode.

The World Health Organization describes depression as involving depressed mood or loss of interest and pleasure, along with symptoms that may affect sleep, appetite, energy, concentration, self-worth and safety. Symptoms of a depressive episode occur most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks.

The duration alone does not establish a diagnosis, but persistent symptoms that affect daily life should not be dismissed.

What burnout looks like in Indian workplaces

The Indian work environment can create several conditions associated with chronic stress: long working hours, high performance expectations, limited staffing, economic uncertainty, difficult managers, inadequate recovery time and constant digital availability.

A 2026 review of Indian workplace research identified workload, ineffective leadership, limited autonomy, poor work-life balance and organisational culture as important contributors to workplace stress and burnout.

A meta-analysis of 22 studies involving 8,794 participants reported an overall burnout prevalence of 52%, although estimates varied according to the occupation, region and measurement method used.

These figures should be interpreted carefully. Burnout prevalence is not the same as the prevalence of clinical depression, and different studies use different tools and definitions.

The broader message is that emotional exhaustion at work is not a marginal issue. It is a significant occupational and public-health concern that requires attention from both clinicians and organisations.

Burnout is not only an individual problem

When a person experiences burnout, the first response is often to ask what they can do differently. They may be told to meditate, sleep more, exercise or become more resilient.

These steps can support recovery, but they cannot correct a workplace that is permanently understaffed, unsafe or organised around excessive workload.

A complete response may require changes in workload, staffing, role clarity, manager behaviour, working hours, autonomy, leave practices and expectations around after-hours availability.

Workplace mental-health programmes should not consist only of motivational sessions. Employees need confidential pathways to psychiatric and psychological care, early identification of risk, manager training and organisational mechanisms for reducing harmful work conditions.

A wellness workshop cannot compensate for a workload that makes recovery impossible.

How a psychiatrist assesses the difference

At Athena, an assessment of emotional exhaustion would need to look beyond the person’s job title or workload.

The psychiatrist would explore mood, energy, sleep, appetite, concentration, ability to experience pleasure, relationships, substance use, physical symptoms, work conditions, coping strategies and personal or family stressors.

The assessment would also consider whether symptoms are confined to work or present across settings, whether the person has experienced previous episodes, whether medical factors are contributing and whether there is any immediate safety concern.

This is important because burnout may coexist with depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, addiction or a sleep disorder. Treating only the workload or only the visible symptom may not address the full clinical picture.

Athena’s treatment approach is built around psychiatric assessment, evidence-based care, individualised treatment and continuity of support. Its recovery framework looks beyond discharge or short-term symptom reduction and considers functional reintegration, independence and the person’s ability to return to meaningful daily life.

What recovery should involve

If burnout is primarily work-related, recovery may involve reducing exposure to the stressor, restoring sleep, creating psychological distance from work, rebuilding boundaries and addressing organisational problems.

If depression is present, the person may require structured psychiatric treatment, psychological therapy, medication or a combination of interventions. Treatment decisions depend on the severity and pattern of symptoms.

Where burnout and depression overlap, recovery may require both clinical care and practical changes in the work environment.

The goal is not to return the person to work as quickly as possible without changing the conditions that contributed to the problem. The goal is to help them regain emotional stability, energy, relationships, decision-making ability and control over daily life.

What families and colleagues can notice

People experiencing burnout or depression may not always ask for help directly. Family members and colleagues may notice changes before the person recognises the seriousness of the problem.

These changes may include:

Persistent irritability or emotional numbness.

Withdrawal from family, friends or hobbies.

A sudden loss of interest in previously meaningful activities.

Frequent complaints of fatigue or poor sleep.

Increased alcohol or substance use.

Repeated mistakes or inability to concentrate.

Working excessively while becoming less effective.

Statements suggesting hopelessness or worthlessness.

Inability to manage basic daily responsibilities.

The most useful response is not to label the person. It is to describe what has changed and encourage professional support.

A family member might say, “You have not been sleeping, you seem exhausted even after resting, and you no longer enjoy the things you used to. Would you be willing to speak with a mental-health professional?”

A message for employers

Employers should not wait until an employee resigns, becomes absent or reaches a crisis before recognising burnout.

The early signs may appear as declining concentration, emotional detachment, increased sick leave, conflict, reduced participation or a sudden drop in confidence.

Organisations need to distinguish between individual support and organisational responsibility. Counselling can help an employee, but management must also examine whether the work itself is creating sustained psychological harm.

A practical workplace response can include reasonable workload planning, clear priorities, protected leave, manager accountability, confidential referral pathways and a culture in which seeking help does not threaten a person’s career.

The difference matters, but both deserve care

Burnout may sound like: “I cannot continue working under these conditions.”

Depression may sound like: “I cannot find pleasure or meaning anywhere.”

Sometimes both statements are true.

Emotional burnout can look like depression because exhaustion, detachment and reduced confidence affect the same areas of life that depression affects. But burnout is linked specifically to chronic workplace stress, while depression can extend beyond work and affect mood, pleasure, self-worth, physical functioning and safety.

No one should be expected to make that distinction alone.

Conclusion

Emotional burnout should not be treated as a weakness, and depression should not be dismissed as ordinary workplace stress.

The earlier a person receives the right assessment, the easier it may be to identify whether the main problem is work-related burnout, depression, anxiety, addiction, sleep disturbance or a combination of conditions.

As Athena’s recovery-oriented approach emphasises, the objective is not merely to help someone return to work. It is to help the person return to life—with restored functioning, healthier relationships, greater independence and a sustainable way of living.

Work may be where the exhaustion begins. A proper mental-health assessment must look at the whole person.

New Delhi [India], September 19: When Russia’s economy contracted by 2.1 percent in 2022 following Western sanctions over Ukraine, Moscow had little choice but to look east to China. Already the world’s second largest economy with $17.9T GDP, China offered a lifeline. Iran, faced with it’s worst economic crisis in decades with inflation over 40 percent, needed partners willing to defy America’s pressure. What emerged was unlikely to be ideological unity but practicality-three nations that have been excluded or threatened by the West’s dominance finding strength in cooperation.

The new partnership formed faster than most geopolitical analysts expected. In 2023, China-Russia bilateral trade reached $240 Billion, a 26.3 percent increase from 2022. Russian oil exports to China reached 1.6 million barrels daily, making China Russia’s largest energy customer. Iran in late 2023 exported an estimated 1.5 million barrels of oil daily to China, bypassing American sanctions.

Economic Interdependence as Strategic Glue

This association was made out of necessity and not for any ideological purposes. The “Power of Siberia” pipeline represents such cooperation, which supplies natural gas from Russia to China. The subsidies (38 billion cubic meters per year) tie these countries together, creating the dependence that ensures there is no betrayal between them.

The figures speak for themselves. Russia’s energy sector contributes to roughly 40 percent of federal budget revenues. China, which imports 73 percent of its oil and 45 percent of its natural gas needs reliable suppliers that aren’t under Western influence. Iran possesses the world’s fourth-largest proven oil reserves (158.4 billion barrels) but can only sell to willing buyers outside the Western financial system.

China’s technology and capital flow in exchange. In 2023, Chinese investment in Russia and Iran combined to exceed $8B, filling a void when Western banks closed their doors. Chinese semiconductors-critical for everything from civilian infrastructure to military technology-replace Western technology cut off by sanctions. Russian military expertise, particularly in artillery and electronic warfare systems, is used to train Iranian forces. The exchange is practically beneficial to both sides.

The Military Component Puts New Numbers into the Equation

There is more to the military component than mere symbolism in joint military training exercises. Russia has some 140 submarines, which include 12 nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines. China operates 48 submarines of which six are nuclear powered. Iran has some 30 submarines which are predominantly diesel electric but with growing capability for cruise missile technology.

Take the Gulf of Hormuz for example. The 21-nautical mile passage sees the movement of 21% of global petroleum traffic daily (23 million barrels a day).

Russia provides advanced anti-ship missiles that can reach shipping lanes. China has submarines and maritime surveillance systems that monitor traffic. This coordination gives leverage over petroleum trade that Western naval power can’t easily ignore.

The 2021 joint Russian-Chinese naval exercise in the Sea of Japan involved 15 warships, and demonstrated capability for coordinated operations. The 2023 drill of the Arabian Sea included for the first time the participation of Iran, marking operational cooperation.

Cyber power is another capability. Chinese cyber activities have been successful in penetrating the US government network several times. Russian hackers have managed to gain unauthorized entry into critical infrastructure such as energy grid and financial systems.

Iranian operatives conducted 777 documented cyberattacks on American infrastructure between 2016-2022. While each operate independently, there is implicit coordination deniable pressure on Western societies.

Construction of Parallel Institutions

Most importantly, the alliance creates alternatives to Western-led organizations. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, created in 2015, China being its largest shareholder, has funded $207 billion worth of projects in Asia without the oversight of the World Bank and the IMF. Similarly, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, comprising 23 percent of the world’s GDP, operates without any Western participation, coordinating policy in Eurasia.

Regarding financial systems, the alliance lowers reliance on SWIFT. The first transaction between Russia and China in yuan took place in 2010; by 2023, yuan transactions became 90 percent of total Russia-China trade. Iran is creating parallel payment systems to avoid the dominance of the American banking system. These aren’t revolutionary measures but do create real alternatives to Western domination.

Structural Weaknesses

Nonetheless, there remain deeply ingrained weaknesses below this surface level. China boasts an economy worth $17.9 trillion, twice as much as that of Russia’s and three times as much as Iran’s. This translates into the existence of a balance of power in favor of China. The military mightier yet economically weaker Russia finds itself playing second fiddle, a condition that has increasingly become a source of frustration for the Russian elite class. Old tensions persist. The 4,000-km China-Russia border has historically remained militarized. Russia is wary of Chinese territorial ambitions in Central Asia; China considers the Russian presence a hindrance. In 1969, a border incident cost many lives. The rivalry is only sleeping, not dead.

Governance philosophies differ. Russia maintains Orthodox Christian nationalism. China pursues communist-party technocracy. Iran practices Shia theocratic revolution. Finding unified vision beyond “opposition to the West” is increasingly difficult as cooperation grows.

Economic vulnerabilities constrain the sustainability. Russia’s economy, dependent on energy exports subject to price volatility, lacks diversification. The 2023 oil price averaging $82 per barrel (down from $100 in 2022) has already strained budgets. Iran requires perpetual external support; its economy contracted 4.8 percent in 2023 alone. China faces demographic decline-working-age population fell 6.83 million in 2022-threatening its long-term growth trajectory.

The Realistic Assessment

This alliance poses a threat to the dominance of the West geographically, but certainly not the unmovable force that certain Western observers see it to be. Indeed, this alliance is a reality, economically dependent and possibly military significant. Yet its longevity is kept only due to outside pressure. Without this pressure, internal rivalries could arise once again.The existing power disparity, despite current management, might constitute an element of future instability. Economic weakness means that this partnership persists under continued pressure from the West or improvement in its economy.

Thus, it requires adaptation from Western countries. The assumptions of the superiority of military potential in the zones of contestation, the expectation of the success of economic sanctions in forcing compliance, and the belief in the indestructible nature of Western technological dominance – all these assumptions are becoming obsolete.

The world did not end, but it became truly multipolar. Western countries still have many resources: technology, democracy, dynamism, allies. But the era of unchallenged dominance has become history. Adjusting to this new reality entails developing resilience, fostering innovations, strengthening the democratic institutions, and acknowledging the limitations of Western power.

New Delhi [India], September 18: Private credit has moved from the margins of India’s funding conversation into the boardroom. We need to examine why India’s growing private-credit market, GCC investor interest and Dubai-India capital flows require borrowers to look beyond the interest rate and prepare for the full discipline of repayment.

An EY update released in August recorded US$3.5 billion of private-credit investments in the first half of 2026 across 102 tracked transactions above US$10 million. Domestic funds accounted for 74% of deal value and about 79% of deal volume. The figures do not describe every form of debt raised in India, but they show how quickly alternative financing, private capital and structured credit have become part of the mainstream India funding conversation, including for Dubai-based and GCC investors evaluating Indian businesses.

The shift matters most for mid-market companies in India. Bank finance remains central, yet a bank’s risk appetite, collateral requirements or approval timetable may not fit a business that is acquiring another company, refinancing an existing facility or investing ahead of a visible growth opportunity. Private credit can offer a more negotiated structure and direct access to a lender. That flexibility is useful, especially in India-Dubai and India-GCC fundraising conversations, but it does not make the capital forgiving.

A borrower should begin with the purpose of the money, not the availability of the cheque. Growth capital, acquisition finance and refinancing create different repayment profiles. A company funding a productive asset may have time for cash flows to build. A refinancing exercise may simply move a maturity date forward. If management does not distinguish between those situations, a convenient source of capital can become an expensive way of postponing a harder decision, whether the lender is domestic, Dubai-based, Gulf-based or part of a wider GCC private-credit platform.

This is where the headline interest rate can mislead. The real cost of private credit includes the repayment schedule, upfront fees, security, information undertakings, cash sweeps and financial covenants. A covenant is a recurring test of whether the business is still operating within the assumptions on which the lender approved the financing. A company that negotiates the rate but ignores the covenant package has not completed the financing analysis. For Dubai, GCC and Gulf investors assessing Indian private-credit opportunities, covenant discipline and transparent reporting are often as important as the stated return.

The same discipline should shape the business plan presented to lenders. Private-credit investors spend considerable time on due diligence because they are lending against expected cash generation and downside protection. They will examine customer concentration, working-capital cycles, promoter support, reporting quality and the assumptions behind EBITDA. Management teams should be ready to explain what happens if revenue arrives later, margins narrow or a major customer pays slowly. The credible answer is not a perfect forecast. It is a plan that shows how the company will respond when the forecast is tested, particularly when the capital conversation involves Dubai investors, GCC family offices, Gulf institutions or cross-border lenders.

There is also a communication issue. Equity fundraising gives greater space to market size, expansion plans and the upside case. A credit investor has to understand how the money comes back. The strongest borrower presentations connect strategy to cash flow: what the capital will fund, when it should produce returns, which risks could interrupt repayment and what controls will be used if performance falls short. This is investor communication in its most practical form, and it is especially relevant for India-Dubai investor relations, Gulf fundraising, GCC capital raising and cross-border private-credit communication.

For Indian companies seeking private credit from Dubai-based or wider GCC investors, the communication challenge becomes cross-border as well as financial. A borrower must explain its Indian operating environment while presenting its cash flows, security package, governance standards and repayment plan in a way that an overseas lender can assess confidently. Investors in Dubai, the UAE, the Gulf region and the wider GCC may understand the region well, but they will still expect clarity on currency exposure, regulatory conditions, promoter support and the risks that could affect repayment. According to Dubai-based investor relations and fundraising professional Gulamaly Hussain, the borrower’s ability to communicate repayment discipline can be as important as the growth story itself.

The growing role of domestic funds may improve access for Indian companies that need a lender who understands local operating conditions. That growth does not mean lenders are lowering their standards. EY’s data shows that the market was broadly steady against the second half of 2025, even as the composition of capital changed. That is a more useful reading than treating private credit as a limitless pool of money. Lenders are becoming more active, but they are also comparing risk more carefully across India, Dubai, the UAE, GCC markets and other Gulf investment corridors.

Companies should be cautious about using short-term relief to hide a structural cash-flow problem. The Financial Stability Board has noted that payment-in-kind arrangements and other liquidity measures can help a borrower manage immediate pressure while increasing total debt over time. A deferral can be sensible when it bridges a temporary mismatch. It becomes dangerous when it replaces operational repair or a realistic restructuring conversation. For borrowers approaching Dubai-based private-credit investors or GCC capital providers, repayment visibility, governance and cash-flow transparency should not be treated as last-minute documentation.

Private credit is now a genuine funding choice for Indian businesses, particularly in the mid-market. The right question is not whether a company can secure the capital. It is whether the company understands the obligations that come with it and can explain them clearly to its board, shareholders and lenders. Borrowers that approach the process with transparent numbers, realistic downside planning and a clear use of funds are more likely to secure capital on terms they can live with. Those that focus only on speed may discover that flexibility has a price long after the transaction closes. In India-Dubai and India-GCC fundraising, the better-prepared borrower is usually the one that can turn private credit into patient capital rather than pressure capital.

Tamannaah Bhatia & Anmol Ahluwalia, Area Director – Operation and General Manager

New Delhi [India], September 18: Tamannaah Fine Jewellery, founded by actor and entrepreneur Tamannaah Bhatia, is embarking on an unconventional retail journey with Khazana, Taj’s curated luxury retail destination, marking the brand’s retail debut through a collaboration that will span 10 cities across India.

Beginning with New Delhi, the association will extend to key destinations including Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad, among other cities. The collaboration brings together two distinct approaches to luxury – Khazana’s carefully curated, hospitality-led retail experience and Tamannaah Fine Jewellery’s contemporary and unconventional approach to fine jewellery.

For Tamannaah Fine Jewellery, the collaboration represents more than a retail expansion. It is a continuation of the brand’s intent to take fine jewellery beyond conventional occasions and familiar ways of wearing it. Built around the philosophy of “Beyond the Occasion,” the brand creates modern, versatile pieces designed to move seamlessly through everyday life, while retaining the refinement and craftsmanship of fine jewellery.

Tamannaah Bhatia, Founder, Tamannaah Fine Jewellery, said:
“Jewellery has always been a deeply personal part of my life, and with Tamannaah Fine Jewellery, I wanted to create pieces that feel relevant to the way we live today — refined, versatile and designed to move with you. Our collaboration with Khazana is an exciting step for us as we take an unconventional retail route and bring the brand to new cities and audiences. It feels like the beginning of an uncharted path, and I’m excited to see where it takes us.”

The partnership reflects a shared belief in looking beyond the expected. Just as Tamannaah Fine Jewellery takes an unconventional approach to jewellery through distinctive design, versatility and a contemporary interpretation of fine jewellery, its choice of Khazana as a retail partner marks an unconventional retail route for the brand.

At Khazana, the collaboration strengthens the fine jewellery offering with a collection selected for the discerning Taj guest – bringing together distinctive design, strong craftsmanship, individuality and a sensibility that feels relevant to the contemporary luxury traveller.

Mr. Faisal Momen, Vice President – Khazana, said:

“Khazana has always endeavoured to present the finest of Indian craftsmanship in a manner that is both relevant and everlasting. The association with Tamanna Fine Jewellery brings together a shared respect for design, quality and craftsmanship, and we hope it will offer our guests at Taj Mahal, New Delhi an experience that is distinctive and memorable.”

Dr. Anmol Ahluwalia – Area Director – Operations and General Manager – Taj Mahal, New Delhi:

“Unveiled at Khazana at the iconic Taj Mahal, New Delhi, the launch of Tamannaah Bhatia Fine Jewellery celebrates the coming together of exceptional craftsmanship and contemporary design. As the exclusive retail home for Tamannaah Fine Jewellery collections, Khazana is proud to present inspired fine jewellery for both everyday elegance and special occasions, redefining luxury through creativity, relevance and timeless sophistication.”

The 10-city rollout will allow Tamannaah Fine Jewellery to engage with audiences across diverse markets while maintaining the spirit of discovery at the heart of the collaboration. Beginning in New Delhi and moving across destinations including Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad, the association is designed to create a consistent yet evolving retail experience across Khazana stores.

At its heart, Khazana × Tamanna Fine Jewellers is a meeting of two brands willing to take an uncharted path — one redefining luxury retail through curation and experience, the other challenging conventional perceptions of how fine jewellery can be designed, styled and lived in.

New Delhi [India], September 18: From food ingredients and candle waxes to chemicals and renewable fuel materials, manufacturers depend on suppliers who understand both their products and their industry. Bio Green Wax Ltd is building a modern supply business around those needs, combining specialist knowledge, international relationships and technology that makes sourcing information easier to access.

Established in July 2024 and headquartered in London, Bio Green Wax builds on the foundations developed through Bio Greenware Ltd, which began in 2020. Its business network spans the UK, India, UAE and Indonesia, supporting an ambition to connect buyers and suppliers worldwide.

Six Specialist Brands

The company operates through six specialist brands, each focused on a different market. Bio Green Wax covers natural and industrial waxes and related products, while Bio Green Oils and Fats (https://biogreenoilsfats.com) focuses on edible oils and specialty fats.

Bio Green Chemicals serves industrial and specialty chemical requirements, and Bio Green Fuels (https://biogreenfuels.com) focuses on biofuel feedstocks. Bio Green Foods (https://biogreenfoods.com) supplies food ingredients and additives, while Bio Green Oleo (https://biogreenoleo.com) covers oleochemicals, including fatty acids, glycerine and other oil-derived materials.

All six operate under Bio Green Wax Ltd. Their specialist focus reflects an important distinction: a bakery, a soap manufacturer and a fuel producer may use materials with similar origins, but their quality, packaging and documentation requirements can be very different.

The aim is to combine product knowledge with an understanding of each customer’s industry, helping manufacturers assess suitable materials and supply options.

Evidence Behind Supply

Responsible sourcing and traceability are central to the company’s approach. For palm oil, Bio Green Wax can offer RSPO SG, or Segregated, certified supply, subject to product availability and supporting documentation. Under this model, palm oil from certified sources is kept separate from non-certified material throughout the supply chain.

The company also focuses on EUDR readiness by working with suppliers on relevant origin and supply-chain information. Certification can support that work, but it does not replace the separate checks required under the EU Deforestation Regulation.

Across its wider portfolio, documentation is assessed for the particular product, source and order. This includes confirming the scope of any certified biofuel feedstock offering, rather than suggesting that a single certificate covers every product or brand.

Technology Built In-House

Director Umesh Shankara Gowda brings more than a decade of earlier software-industry experience to his work in sourcing and business operations. That background, combined with AI-assisted development tools, enables him to take a hands-on role in building systems around the company’s requirements.

These systems connect customer enquiries, product information, supplier details and brochures, helping authorised staff find relevant information more easily. Automation also supports content preparation, translation, document handling and operational checks.

The purpose is practical: reduce routine administration and give the team more time to support customers. Supplier assessment, product approval and commercial commitments remain matters for human judgement.

Palm Oil Economics

Alongside the supply business, Palm Oil Economics brings palm-oil market information and sourcing tools into one accessible platform. Co-founded by Umesh Shankara Gowda and Hantash Najam, it provides free price information, industry news, market dashboards and data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board and other sources.

The platform is highly automated, with AI helping gather information and prepare market updates. News articles undergo human review and approval before publication. Practical calculators help users compare costs and prepare more informed sourcing enquiries.

It also publishes experimental price outlooks and a public performance scorecard. These allow readers to examine predictions against actual results, while maintaining a clear distinction between a market estimate and a confirmed supplier quotation.

A Global Outlook

With its specialist brands already established, Bio Green Wax’s next stage is to deepen industry expertise, broaden supplier relationships and strengthen customer support across international markets.

The wider ambition is to become a trusted connection between manufacturers and the materials they need. By combining knowledgeable people, stronger business networks and useful technology, the company aims to make international sourcing clearer, more responsive and easier to navigate.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 18: WAGR is redefining how India experiences pet care. As pets become an increasingly integral part of families, pet parenting doesn’t stop at buying food and essentials. Today, it encompasses nutrition, grooming, exercise, training, wellness, healthcare and a constant stream of everyday questions and decisions. Yet these needs continue to be addressed across fragmented platforms and disconnected experiences.Identifying this gap at the core, WAGR brings together trusted products, AI-led guidance, pet-care services and personalised pet information in one place.

While it has a growing portfolio of leading brands including Royal Canin, Pedigree, Whiskas, Sheba, Drools and Temptations, alongside emerging and specialised brands such as Bruni Boi, Cuddl, Cure By Design, Halalicious, Moe Puppy and Let’s Wag. Together, the portfolio spans food, treats, grooming, wellness, toys, accessories and everyday essentials for dogs and cats, products, however, are only one part of the journey.

WAGR is being built around a simple belief: pet parents don’t experience pet care in categories – they experience it through everyday moments. A first-time pet parent may need to understand what to feed a puppy, how much exercise it needs or where to find a reliable groomer. An experienced pet parent may be looking for a trusted walker, trainer or boarding facility, while also trying to understand changing needs as their pet grows.

Addressing this Mr. Fredun Medhora, Director, WAGR, stated, “We don’t want WAGR to be another place where pet parents shop; we want it to become a companion they turn to. The opportunity is to bring together products, answers, trusted services and technology around the everyday reality of pet parenting. We are building for that future, even if it means taking bets the category has not taken before.”

And this is where TOTO, WAGR’s AI-led pet-parenting companion, comes in. Designed to help pet parents navigate everyday questions around feeding, nutrition, activity, grooming, behaviour and general pet care, TOTO provides an accessible starting point for parents looking to make more informed decisions. For first-time pet parents especially, it aims to make the early stages of pet parenting less overwhelming by bringing guidance closer to where they are already discovering products and services. TOTO is intended for general pet-care guidance and does not provide veterinary diagnosis or treatment or replace professional veterinary advice.

The same thinking extends to WAGR’s Discover offering. The brand recognised that pet care does not end when a product is delivered home – the people who care for a pet are just as important as the products they use. Groomers play an important role in maintaining a pet’s hygiene and comfort, while regular walks contribute to activity, stimulation and overall wellbeing. Yet finding reliable professionals can often depend on scattered recommendations, local searches or word of mouth, making the process particularly challenging for new pet parents.

WAGR’s Discover feature brings groomers, walkers, trainers, boarding facilities, clinics and other pet-care providers onto the platform, helping pet parents find relevant services as their pets’ needs evolve. The addition reflects WAGR’s larger philosophy: if the platform is built around the pet parent, it cannot stop at what they buy. It also helps them navigate the people and services they trust with their pet’s care.

Alongside these experiences, WAGR’s Pet Profile brings important pet details, health information and records together, supporting a more personalised experience across product discovery, TOTO and services. Together, these offerings bring shopping, guidance, discovery and pet information into one connected ecosystem.

Niradananda Nanda, Founder and Managing Partner, Vumee Infra LLP, said the company’s approach is centred on understanding the evolving needs of homebuyers and developing residential spaces that are aligned with contemporary lifestyles.

Vumee Infra LLP continues to explore opportunities across the real estate and infrastructure sector in Odisha, with an emphasis on modern development standards, evolving consumer expectations and sustainable long-term growth. The company’s ongoing initiatives are part of its broader effort to establish a growing presence within Odisha’s real estate ecosystem.

With Vumee Amrapalli, the company is bringing together premium residential configurations, contemporary architecture and lifestyle amenities within a strategically located development in Bhubaneswar. The project represents another step in Vumee Infra LLP’s efforts to participate in the state’s expanding urban development story.

New Delhi [India], September 18: The Indian commercial real estate landscape is undergoing a massive structural transformation, as the post-pandemic evolution of hybrid schedules and a moderation in third-party IT service leasing redefine traditional office dynamics.

Yet, far from cooling down, India’s office market has found a high-value growth engine in Global Capability Centres (GCCs). Once regarded merely as low-cost, back-office cost centres, these hubs have rapidly matured into strategic nerve centres for global enterprise AI, product engineering, analytics, research and development, and digital excellence.

Offering insight into this market evolution, Saket Mohta, Managing Director of Merlin Group, highlights the profound implications of this GCC surge on modern commercial developments. Let’s take a look at the numbers.

India has firmly established itself as a global powerhouse for Global Capability Centres (GCCs). The sector is witnessing rapid expansion, with the number of GCCs in the country projected to cross 2,400 by 2030, employing more than 2.8 million professionals. The growing ecosystem is also having a profound impact on the country’s commercial real estate sector. According to Colliers, GCCs have leased approximately 118 million square feet of Grade-A office space since 2021, accounting for 37% of overall Grade-A office demand across India’s top seven cities. In the first half of 2026 alone, GCCs leased 16.6 million square feet, representing 46% of overall Grade-A office space uptake.

While traditional Tier-1 tech capitals like Bengaluru and Hyderabad continue to lead, the two cities together have accounted for over 60% of GCC office leasing since 2021. At the same time, the demand from capability centres is becoming increasingly broad-based, with cities such as Pune and Chennai witnessing strong momentum.

As a result, both established Tier-1 alternatives and emerging Tier-2 hubs are stepping into the spotlight, fuelled by proactive state policies, competitive operating costs, quality office infrastructure, and access to engineering and digital talent.

Within this expanding network, Pune has solidified its status as a core engineering and financial services hub. According to JLL, Pune has captured around 15% to 20% of national GCC activity over the past four years, supported by its strong talent base, quality of life, and established strengths across BFSI, automotive, IT/ITeS, manufacturing, and engineering services.

Saket Mohta says, “Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are no longer just a temporary trend—they are officially the next big thing for India’s economy and real estate market. These hubs have evolved from basic back-offices into the main engineering and tech brains of global companies.”

“This shift has opened up a massive new opportunity for India. GCCs are driving huge demand for high-quality, modern offices, and this growth is now moving fast beyond traditional tech hubs into rising cities like Pune and Kolkata. Quite simply, GCCs are the new anchors of India’s commercial growth story,” he adds.

Kolkata is another city witnessing a significant shift as Eastern India’s primary strategic hub, with GCC activity expanding across IT-BPM, telecom and media, professional services, and engineering and manufacturing.

According to Cushman & Wakefield market data, GCC leasing in Kolkata experienced a 239% year-on-year surge in 2025, rising from 0.15 million square feet in 2024 to 0.51 million square feet in 2025. GCCs accounted for 30% of Kolkata’s total office leasing of 1.71 million square feet in 2025, compared with just 9% in the previous year. IT-BPM companies led the city’s GCC leasing activity, accounting for 59% of demand, followed by telecom and media at 21%, professional services at 13%, and engineering and manufacturing at 7%.

Saket Mohta believes, “The real value of the GCC boom isn’t about renting office space; it is about building the intellectual real estate of the future. When a global giant anchors its core AI models or data security within an Indian tech park, that office transcends being a mere real estate expense – it becomes their most critical strategic asset.”

“We are witnessing a historic flip in power where India is transforming from the West’s execution arm into the global boardroom. For developers, this means we are no longer just landlords providing brick-and-mortar spaces; we are infrastructure partners safeguarding the world’s most valuable corporate intelligence.”

Landmark 10th international conference combines scientific exchange, research and hands-on learning, with emerging therapies for knee osteoarthritis among key areas of discussion

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], September 18: The 10th International Conference on Recent Advances in Pain (ICRAPAIN 2026) concluded successfully in Kolkata, bringing together more than 600 pain professionals for three days of scientific lectures, panel discussions, research presentations, masterclasses and practical education.

Held from September 3–6, 2026, the conference was organized by Daradia Pain Foundation with Daradia: The Pain Clinic, Kolkata, under the theme “From Evidence to Practice: Shaping the Future of Pain Medicine.”

The scientific programme covered a broad spectrum of contemporary pain medicine, including musculoskeletal ultrasound, radiofrequency procedures, neuromodulation, spine interventions, neuropathic and nociplastic pain, cancer pain, artificial intelligence and Pain Biologics and regenerative medicine.

ICRAPAIN 2026 also placed strong emphasis on research, with 52 scientific abstracts, including 42 delegate submissions and 10 faculty abstracts. The conference encouraged clinicians and young researchers to move beyond procedural learning toward evidence-based clinical reasoning, patient selection and scientific enquiry.

Post-conference feedback reflected strong participant satisfaction. Among 81 respondents, both the overall conference and scientific programme received average ratings of 9.22/10, while the Live Pain Biologics Workshop received 9.63/10. A detailed report on the scientific programme, participant feedback and highlights is available in the ICRAPAIN 2026 Conference Report and Feedback.

Pain Biologics and New Directions in Knee Osteoarthritis

One of the areas attracting considerable scientific interest was the evolving role of Pain Biologics and non-surgical treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

Lectures and discussions explored Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC), mesenchymal stromal cells and phenotype-based approaches to osteoarthritis management.

The scientific programme also discussed Ciplostem, an allogeneic bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell therapy developed by Stempeutics Research and marketed in India by Cipla. Ciplostem has received approval from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) for selected patients with Grade II and Grade III knee osteoarthritis.

The discussion focused on evidence, appropriate patient selection, joint preservation and the potential role of regenerative therapies within a broader strategy for the non-surgical management of knee osteoarthritis.

Ahead of the main conference, a dedicated pre-conference Live Pain Biologics Workshop provided practical exposure to regenerative interventions. A live Ciplostem procedure was demonstrated during the workshop, enabling participating physicians to discuss technique, evidence, safety and clinical selection in a practical setting.

Daradia has subsequently published a comprehensive evidence-based resource explaining Ciplostem for Knee Osteoarthritis, Non-Surgical Treatment and Alternatives to Knee Replacement, including its regulatory status, clinical evidence, patient selection, safety and comparisons with PRP and BMAC.

The organizers emphasized that emerging biologic therapies should be evaluated through evidence rather than enthusiasm alone, with treatment individualized according to disease stage, biomechanics, symptoms, function and patient expectations.

Following its landmark 10th edition, ICRAPAIN will continue its focus on scientific education, research, innovation, practical training and responsible translation of emerging technologies into pain practice.

About the Organizers:
ICRAPAIN is organized by Daradia Pain Foundation with Daradia: The Pain Clinic, Kolkata, with a focus on pain medicine education, research, physician training and international academic collaboration.

A first-of-its-kind gift of technology-led mental wellness — MITRA, an AI voice companion, and MINDS, an AI-powered mental wellness screening platform — dedicated to the men and women who keep India moving.

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], September 18: On the occasion of Driver Dignity Day 2026, Positive Mind Care and Research Centre marked the day with an act of appreciation as much as innovation, gifting India’s driving community two revolutionary AI-based mental wellness solutions — MITRA, its AI-powered voice companion, and MINDS, its AI-powered mental wellness screening platform. Together, the two technologies form a first-of-its-kind digital wellness gift, extended in recognition of the demanding, often invisible, work that professional drivers do to keep the nation moving.

A Gift, Not Just a Launch: Positive Mind Care and Research Centre is a mental healthcare and wellness organisation building India’s next generation of technology-enabled psychiatric care and AI-driven emotional wellbeing platforms. On Driver Dignity Day 2026, the organisation chose to translate its research and innovation into a tangible act of goodwill, gifting an AI technology-led solution to driver community welfare rather than simply announcing a product. In doing so, Positive Mind Care and Research Centre reinforces its brand as an organisation that puts people, and not just technology, at the centre of innovation — offering drivers across India a companion that listens, understands and supports them, at no cost, as a mark of genuine national gratitude.

Drivers are an essential part of India’s social and economic infrastructure. They connect people, transport essential goods, support businesses and help keep communities moving every day. At the same time, professional drivers often work long hours and face demanding schedules, traffic pressure, fatigue, changing road conditions and extended periods away from their families.

Positive Mind Care and Research Centre believes that recognising drivers should go beyond acknowledging their professional contribution — the person behind the wheel, and their mental wellbeing, deserve equal attention. This is precisely why the organisation chose Driver Dignity Day 2026 to gift MITRA and MINDS to the community: not as a marketing gesture, but as a genuine, accessible resource for everyday emotional wellbeing.

Through MITRA, the organisation aims to make digital mental wellness interaction more accessible, conversational and relevant to the daily lives of drivers.

MITRA — An AI Voice Companion Gifted to Drivers

MITRA is Positive Mind Care and Research Centre’s AI-powered voice assistant and mental wellness companion, designed to provide a more natural and approachable way for individuals to interact with digital wellness support — now gifted free to India’s driving community.

Its voice-first experience is particularly relevant for drivers, who spend significant portions of their working lives on the road. MITRA is designed to support conversational interaction, general mental wellness awareness and everyday wellbeing-oriented engagement during appropriate times, such as breaks or when the vehicle is safely parked.

The concept behind MITRA is simple: Drivers spend their days helping others reach their destinations. MITRA is designed to be there for them.

Positive Mind Care and Research Centre is encouraging drivers across India to download MITRA, explore the AI voice experience and make digital mental wellness a more regular part of their everyday lives.

The organisation is also encouraging fleet operators, logistics companies, transport organisations and driver communities to spread awareness about MITRA and help make this gift accessible to more drivers, nationwide.

Akhilesh Srivastava: “Driver Wellbeing Must Be Part of Driver Dignity”

Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Akhilesh Srivastava, who has been closely involved in advancing this initiative at Positive Mind Care and Research Centre, said:

“Drivers are among the people who keep India moving every single day. They work long hours, manage demanding situations and carry enormous responsibility, often while spending significant time away from their families. Driver Dignity Day gives us an opportunity to recognise not only their contribution, but also the individual behind the wheel. With MITRA, our intention is to give drivers something meaningful and accessible — a digital companion that can encourage them to pay attention to their mental wellbeing and make conversations around it more natural.”

He further added:

“Technology becomes meaningful when it addresses real-life needs. We wanted MITRA to be simple, conversational and accessible, particularly for drivers who may not always have the time or opportunity to engage with traditional wellness platforms. This Driver Dignity Day, our message to every driver is simple: your work matters, your wellbeing matters and you matter. We encourage drivers across India to download MITRA and make it a part of their digital wellness journey.”

Beyond MITRA: A Broader Digital Mental Wellness Vision

MITRA is one part of Positive Mind Care and Research Centre’s broader effort to use technology to make mental wellness awareness and support more accessible.

Alongside MITRA, Positive Mind Care and Research Centre has developed MINDS — AI-Powered Mental Wellness Screening, bringing established mental health screening frameworks together with Artificial Intelligence-powered analysis to provide users with a convenient digital assessment experience.

MINDS — AI-Powered Mental Wellness Screening

MINDS is designed to help individuals gain greater awareness of their current mental wellness through a digital screening experience.

Where users choose to enable their device’s camera and microphone, MINDS can additionally incorporate analysis of facial expressions, emotional cues, voice characteristics and speech patterns as part of the digital experience.

By combining questionnaire responses with AI-enabled observations, MINDS is designed to provide users with a broader picture of their current mental wellness and encourage them to consider an appropriate next step.

The platform is intended to make mental health check-ins more approachable and accessible, particularly for individuals who may otherwise hesitate to begin a conversation about their mental wellbeing.

Positive Mind Care and Research Centre’s 1 Million Assessments Mission

As part of its commitment to making mental health screening more accessible, Positive Mind Care and Research Centre has set an ambitious goal of reaching 1 million people through MINDS within the next two years.

The initiative aims to encourage early awareness, reduce hesitation around mental health check-ins and help more people understand when it may be appropriate to seek professional support.

MINDS is designed as an initial wellness and awareness tool and is not a substitute for professional diagnosis or clinical assessment. Individuals who require medical or psychological care should consult qualified healthcare professionals.

MITRA and MINDS — Technology for Different Stages of the Journey

Positive Mind Care and Research Centre’s digital approach brings together two complementary technology platforms, gifted together to the driving community as one unified wellness offering.

MINDS focuses on screening and awareness, helping individuals develop a better understanding of their current mental wellness.

MITRA focuses on conversation and ongoing digital interaction, providing an accessible AI-powered voice companion for everyday mental wellness engagement.

Together, they reflect the organisation’s broader vision: Awareness. Conversation. Accessibility.

For the driving community, MITRA represents an opportunity to bring mental wellness interaction closer to everyday life, while MINDS represents a way to encourage people to take an initial step towards understanding their mental wellbeing.

A Digital Gift for India’s Drivers

For Positive Mind Care and Research Centre, Driver Dignity Day 2026 is not simply an occasion to acknowledge the contribution of India’s drivers.

Acharya Aniruddh Chaturvedi, a well-known Arya Samaj priest and Vedic scholar in Lucknow, has completed more than 25 years of work in the field of Vedic rituals. His career has centred on Arya Samaj ceremonies, including weddings, samskaras, Griha Pravesh, funeral rites and other religious observances.

Over the years, his name has become associated with Arya Samaj priestly services in Lucknow. His work through Pandit Ji Arya Samaj Lucknow has also brought him into contact with families seeking Vedic ceremonies for important moments in their lives.

The 25-year milestone places Chaturvedi among a generation of priests whose careers have remained closely tied to traditional Vedic practice while serving families in a changing urban environment.

A 25-Year Journey Rooted in Vedic Tradition

Chaturvedi’s career did not begin with modern religious service platforms. His background is linked to the traditional Gurukul system, where he studied Vedic scriptures, Sanskrit chanting, mantra recitation and Arya Samaj philosophy.

The training provided a foundation for his later work as a priest. Gurukul education places importance on discipline, regular recitation and knowledge of religious texts.

After completing his studies, Chaturvedi began conducting ceremonies within the Arya Samaj tradition. What started as a religious vocation developed into a career spanning more than two decades.

Completing 25 years in the profession marks a long period of continuity in a field where a priest’s work is often built through repeated contact with families and communities.

From Weddings to Life-Cycle Ceremonies

Arya Samaj marriage ceremonies have been a major part of Chaturvedi’s work.

These weddings follow a Vedic structure centred on yajna, Vedic mantras and marital vows. The format is different from many large Indian wedding ceremonies that can involve several days of regional and family customs.

For couples choosing an Arya Samaj wedding, the focus is placed on the Vedic ceremony and the vows exchanged by the couple.

Chaturvedi has conducted such ceremonies for families in Lucknow through his association with Pandit Ji Arya Samaj Lucknow. His experience over 25 years has given him a long record of involvement in this form of religious service.

An Arya Samaj wedding is a religious ceremony, while marriage registration remains a separate legal requirement. Couples must complete the applicable legal formalities after or alongside the ceremony as required.

Why His Name Is Known Among Local Families

A priest’s public profile is often built in a different way from that of a conventional public figure.

There are no film releases, election campaigns or sporting records to measure recognition. Instead, familiarity can grow through ceremonies, community networks and recommendations between families.

Chaturvedi’s work has followed this path.

His association with Arya Samaj ceremonies in Lucknow has made his name familiar to people looking for Vedic marriage rituals and other religious services. Families who have attended or organised ceremonies through him can also become a source of word-of-mouth recognition.

This has contributed to his position as a known priest within the local Arya Samaj space.

A Public Face of Arya Samaj Rituals

Chaturvedi’s work also reflects the way religious professionals are increasingly visible outside traditional community settings.

People searching for a priest today often begin online. Information about ceremonies, services and the process can be found before a family makes direct contact.

Pandit Ji Arya Samaj Lucknow provides an online point of access to Chaturvedi’s services.

This has changed how families find priests, particularly couples who may be unfamiliar with local Arya Samaj institutions or who have moved to Lucknow from another city.

His 25-year career therefore sits across two different worlds: traditional Gurukul-based learning and a modern system in which families use digital platforms to arrange religious ceremonies.

Focus on the Meaning of Rituals

Chaturvedi is also known for explaining the purpose behind Vedic rituals.

For many people, Sanskrit mantras are familiar sounds but not familiar language. They may know when a particular ritual is performed without knowing what the words or actions represent.

His approach places attention on explaining these elements in simpler terms.

That can be especially relevant for younger couples and family members who want to participate in a ceremony but have limited knowledge of Vedic texts.

The role of the priest, in this setting, extends beyond recitation. The priest also guides the family through the order of the ceremony and explains the key practices.

His Work With Vedic Last Rites

Chaturvedi’s 25-year career has also included funeral and last-rites ceremonies.

Within Arya Samaj practice, Vedic funeral rites focus on cremation followed by prescribed prayers and related observances. The process can be shorter than some extended mourning customs followed in different parts of India.

Chaturvedi has spoken about the difference between Vedic practices and customs that may have developed around death rituals over time.

His position favours a process based on Vedic principles rather than fear or superstition.

The subject remains sensitive for families because funeral customs are deeply linked to personal and community traditions. Yet the discussion around shorter and structured rites has gained relevance in cities, where families often live away from their ancestral communities.

More Than a Quarter Century of Ceremonies

Twenty-five years of priestly service means thousands of individual moments in the lives of families can form part of a priest’s professional journey.

A marriage ceremony may be remembered for decades. A Griha Pravesh marks the beginning of life in a new home. A business inauguration can mark the start of a professional chapter. Funeral rites, by contrast, take place during a family’s most difficult period.

Across these very different occasions, the priest remains responsible for maintaining the ritual sequence and guiding participants.

Chaturvedi’s work covers these different stages of family and community life.

Time Discipline in Religious Ceremonies

Another part of his working style is attention to time.

Modern families often plan religious ceremonies around work schedules, travel and the availability of relatives. Delays can affect several other arrangements connected with the event.

Chaturvedi places importance on beginning and completing ceremonies according to the planned schedule while maintaining the required ritual sequence.

For families, this offers a practical structure without changing the basic Vedic character of the ceremony.

The Celebrity Priest Tag

The term “celebrity priest” is increasingly used in India for priests who develop a strong public profile through their work, media presence or large following.

Chaturvedi’s profile comes from a different base. His recognition is linked mainly to his long association with Arya Samaj ceremonies in Lucknow and his work with families over more than 25 years.

His public identity combines traditional priestly training with a visible local presence.

Rather than celebrity status in the entertainment sense, his profile reflects the growing visibility of religious professionals who have built a recognised name within a particular city or community.

What 25 Years Represents

For Acharya Aniruddh Chaturvedi, completing 25 years as an Arya Samaj priest marks more than a professional anniversary.

It represents a sustained connection with Vedic ritual practice at a time when the way families conduct ceremonies is changing.

Some households continue to follow elaborate customs passed down through generations. Others are choosing shorter, structured ceremonies based on Vedic texts. Arya Samaj remains one of the traditions offering that format.

Chaturvedi’s career has developed within this space.

From his Gurukul education to more than two decades of conducting ceremonies in Lucknow, his journey reflects the continuing role of Vedic priests in urban family life.

As he crosses the 25-year mark, his work remains centred on the same basic elements that shaped his training: Vedic scripture, mantra recitation, yajna and disciplined ritual practice.

For a priest, the milestone is measured not only in years but also in the number of family occasions in which he has played a religious role. After 25 years, Acharya Aniruddh Chaturvedi has built his professional identity around precisely that work.

New Delhi [India], September 17: As treatment costs remain one of the biggest sources of anxiety for Indian cancer patients, Oncare Cancer Hospital is reshaping how pricing, options, and outcomes are communicated before treatment begins, not after.

For most Indian families facing a cancer diagnosis, the hardest part often isn’t just the medicine. It’s everything around it, the not-knowing. What will this actually cost? What does insurance really cover? What will the next six months of our life look like? These are the questions families sit with in waiting rooms, and too often, they don’t get real answers until treatment is already underway.

Oncare Cancer Hospital, a multi-city cancer care provider with centres across Delhi NCR and Bengaluru, says closing that gap between what a family needs to know and what they’re actually told has become central to how it structures care. The hospital describes it simply as building a model where transparency and affordability aren’t afterthoughts, but the starting point.

The thinking behind it is straightforward: families cope better, and make better decisions, when they understand both their medical options and their real costs upfront, not when they’re piecing it together mid-treatment, often at the exact moment they have the least capacity to absorb bad surprises.

What that actually looks like in practice:

Upfront cost estimates, before treatment starts. Instead of handing patients a bill after the fact, Oncare provides cost estimates at the point of consultation and has built a cost-estimate tool directly into its website, so a family can get a realistic sense of what’s ahead even before their first appointment, while they’re still researching and deciding.

Honesty about what’s actually affordable, and what to expect it to cost. Cancer treatment in India spans an enormous range; a single chemotherapy cycle can look nothing like a full course of radiation or a bone marrow transplant. Oncare says it’s built its pricing resources around that reality, giving families real, treatment-specific numbers rather than a vague reassurance that care is “affordable” without ever saying what that means in rupees. That specificity, the hospital says, is what actually helps a family plan, not a marketing line.

No hidden pieces. One of the most common frustrations patients report, across the industry, not just at Oncare, is discovering mid-treatment that diagnostics, consumables, or follow-up visits were never part of the original quote. Oncare’s estimates are designed to name these pieces explicitly up front, so a family isn’t blindsided by a bill that’s grown well beyond what they were told to expect.

Doctors you can actually look up. Before a first consultation, patients can view individual specialist profiles on Oncare’s website, real names, real qualifications, real areas of focus, rather than being handed off to an anonymous “expert team” with no way to know who they’re actually seeing.

Care that doesn’t require the family to coordinate. Oncare’s centres bring surgical oncology, medical oncology, and radiation oncology together around one shared treatment plan, so a family isn’t the one stitching together appointments, records, and opinions across separate providers while also trying to hold everything else together.

“Cost shouldn’t be the thing a family finds out about last,” said a spokesperson for Oncare. “We’ve built our resources around what people actually need to know before they walk in, not after they’ve already committed. If someone uses our cost estimator and decides to get treated somewhere else, that’s still the right outcome; they made an informed decision instead of a rushed one.”

Oncare says it plans to keep expanding these resources, with a stated goal that pricing clarity and honest affordability information become a standard part of cancer care in India, not something families have to fight to get.

Patients seeking a consultation, a treatment plan, or a cost estimate can connect with an Oncare specialist directly.

About Oncare Cancer Hospital

Oncare Cancer Hospital is a multi-city cancer care provider operating centres across Delhi NCR (Greater Kailash, South City-1 Gurugram, Indirapuram Ghaziabad, and Noida) and Bengaluru (Rajajinagar/Kamala Nagar and Basavanagudi/near RV Road). Oncare offers comprehensive oncology services including surgical oncology, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy, with an emphasis on transparent, affordable treatment costs and coordinated, patient-first care.

New Delhi [India], September 17: Living on the Edge: A Guide to Living to the Fullest by Haresh Sippy is a reflective work that explores the tensions between routine and risk, control and freedom, and the expectations of life and the search for personal truth. Rather than offering a fixed formula for happiness or success, the book invites readers to examine how they are actually living and whether they are making space for uncertainty, creativity and self-discovery.

The book brings together thoughts, poems and quotations shaped by Sippy’s experiences across nearly five decades of professional and creative life. At its heart is a simple but challenging question: How do you live fully without losing yourself? The reflections emerge from the contrast between a professional world that demands precision and control and creative pursuits that often depend on uncertainty, instinct and spontaneity.

This philosophy also connects with Sippy’s approach to filmmaking through his creative alter ego, Tapan Ghosh. Through this identity, he has explored what he calls “Scriptless Cinema”, an approach to filmmaking that seeks to capture life as it unfolds rather than forcing it into a predetermined script. The idea draws a parallel between an “as-built” drawing and a blueprint: while a blueprint represents what is planned, an as-built drawing records what actually happened. For Sippy, Scriptless Cinema similarly allows real experiences, conversations and human behaviour to shape the creative outcome.

The same willingness to embrace the unexpected runs through Living on the Edge. The book does not present life as a perfectly structured journey. Instead, it acknowledges mistakes, uncertainty and moments when things do not go according to plan. Its reflections suggest that a meaningful life may not come from eliminating discomfort, but from becoming more comfortable with not having everything figured out.

Sippy also challenges the idea that failure is the greatest threat to a fulfilling life. In his reflections, boredom and excessive routine can be equally limiting, particularly when they prevent people from questioning their choices or discovering new possibilities. The book encourages readers to look for self-discovery not only in dramatic turning points but also in the ordinary, connected and sometimes chaotic experiences of everyday life.

Written in accessible language, Living on the Edge seeks to connect with readers across generations. Younger readers may find encouragement to question conventional expectations, while older readers may recognize experiences of compromise, responsibility, mistakes and reinvention. Rather than positioning its reflections as definitive lessons, the book leaves room for readers to interpret them through their own experiences.

The work is also connected to Sippy’s broader belief in combining creativity with social impact. Every copy of Living on the Edge sold supports Tema India’s Youth Empowerment Program, linking the book’s message about living meaningfully with an initiative aimed at creating opportunities for young people through vocational training and empowerment.

By bringing together personal reflection, poetry, philosophy and creative ideas such as Scriptless Cinema, Living on the Edge offers more than a conventional collection of life lessons. It presents the perspective of an individual who has spent decades moving between engineering, entrepreneurship and the arts, while continuing to question the boundaries between control and creativity, planning and spontaneity, and success and fulfillment.

About the Author

Haresh Sippy is the Founder and Managing Director of Tema India Pvt. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Born in Calcutta in 1946, he holds a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and has spent nearly five decades in process equipment manufacturing, holding multiple patents including those related to screw-plug technology. Alongside engineering and entrepreneurship, Sippy has pursued writing, filmmaking and music under the creative name Tapan Ghosh. His filmmaking philosophy, known as Scriptless Cinema, focuses on capturing life as it unfolds. He is also involved in youth empowerment initiatives through the Tema India Youth Empowerment Program.

Sunetra Pawar calls safe motherhood a social responsibility and lauds Symbiosis’ compassionate model

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], September 17: Symbiosis University Hospital & Research Centre (SUHRC), in association with Symbiosis Medical College for Women (SMCW), launched ‘Mahervashin – Reimagining Maternity Care’, an innovative and empathetic initiative aimed at transforming the experience of childbirth by placing dignity, compassion and emotional well-being at the heart of maternity care.

The official ‘Mahervashin’ information booklet for expectant mothers was released by Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Smt. Sunetra Ajit Pawar, along with MLA Shri Shankar Mandekar, in the presence of Dr. Vidya Yeravdekar, Chancellor, Symbiosis International University (SIU); Dr. R. Raman, Vice Chancellor, SIU; Dr. Rajiv Yeravdekar, Provost, Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences, SIU, and other dignitaries. The programme was presided over by Prof. (Dr.) S. B. Mujumdar, Founder & President, Symbiosis.

Speaking on the occasion, Smt. Sunetra Pawar emphasised that safe motherhood is not merely a healthcare concern but a social responsibility. She appreciated Symbiosis for creating a model that brings together medical excellence with compassion, dignity and a sense of belonging.

“A healthy mother means a healthy family, and a healthy family means a capable Maharashtra,” she said, stressing that the health and well-being of women and children are fundamental to the progress of families, society and the state.

Smt. Pawar also highlighted the importance of making maternal healthcare more accessible, particularly in rural areas, and appreciated the role of grassroots healthcare workers in taking such initiatives closer to women and families. She said that Maharashtra has historically been a leader in social transformation, from women’s education to healthcare and dignity, and expressed confidence that initiatives such as Mahervashin can provide a new dimension to development.

The Mahervashin Initiative, conceptualised by Dr. Rajiv Yeravdekar, reimagines the hospital as a ‘maternal home’ where every expectant mother is treated not simply as a patient but as a Mahervashin—a daughter returning to her maternal home. The initiative is built around four core pillars:

Maher Experience: Emotional support, compassionate nursing care and the option of a birth companion.

Maher Nutrition: Nutritious, dietitian-planned meals integrating clinical and traditional maternal nutritional needs.

Maher Culture: Respect for cultural practices, including facilitating traditions such as Dohale Jevan in a safe hospital environment.

Maher Child & Postpartum Care: Lactation counselling, newborn care, postpartum recovery support, depression screening and a special Maher Kit at discharge.

The initiative complements government programmes such as Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA) and Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY). Under the programme, grassroots ASHA workers will be trained as ‘Maher-Doots’, helping extend awareness and compassionate maternity support into communities. Its integration with the NMC Family Adoption Programme will also help nurture empathy and patient-centred care among future doctors.

The event also recognised healthcare professionals and beneficiary mothers for their contribution and association with maternal healthcare.

With ‘Mahervashin’, Symbiosis seeks to demonstrate that maternity care can go beyond clinical treatment—creating an environment where every mother feels safe, respected, cared for and truly at home.

Filmytell is emerging with a different approach to this challenge through its Pay-Per-View (PPV) rental-based E-Theatre model.

A New Approach to Digital Film Distribution

Filmytell, founded by Nitin Udmale, is being developed as an E-Theatre platform where audiences can rent movies instead of committing to a monthly subscription. The model is designed to provide filmmakers with a more direct route to their viewers while giving audiences the option to pay specifically for the content they want to watch.

The platform positions this concept as “India’s Pocket Theatre”, bringing cinema to smartphones, smart TVs, tablets and web users.

Supporting Independent and Regional Cinema

One of Filmytell’s key areas of focus is independent, small and mid-budget cinema. Many such films struggle to compete with productions that have significantly larger promotional and distribution budgets.

Through a rental-based model, Filmytell aims to create an additional digital distribution opportunity for filmmakers while allowing producers to retain ownership of their content and decide rental pricing.

The platform also focuses on regional cinema, including Marathi, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Assamese, Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi and other Indian-language content.

Reaching Audiences Beyond Major Cities

Filmytell’s approach also reflects the changing entertainment habits of audiences in Tier-2, Tier-3 and rural India.

With smartphones and affordable internet becoming increasingly accessible, viewers outside major metropolitan cities are becoming an important part of India’s digital entertainment ecosystem. Filmytell aims to make regional and independent content easier to discover and watch for these audiences.

The platform also recognizes the entertainment needs of people who have moved away from their home states, including audiences from Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh who may want to watch content in their preferred languages.

A Pay-Per-View Alternative to Subscription OTT

Unlike traditional subscription-based OTT services, Filmytell’s core concept revolves around renting individual content.

For viewers, this means they can choose a particular movie or program and pay for that viewing experience rather than necessarily taking a monthly subscription. For filmmakers, the model is intended to establish a more direct connection between their content and its audience.

The platform also incorporates features such as regional-language discovery, recommendations, trailers and direct content sharing.

More Than Just Movies

Filmytell’s proposed content ecosystem extends beyond feature films. The platform aims to support short films, documentaries, web series, mini-series and vertical dramas, creating space for different forms of storytelling.

Its expanding accessibility across Android, iOS, web and connected-TV platforms is intended to make digital cinema available across a wider range of viewing environments.

Nitin Udmale and the Rural India Perspective

The vision behind Filmytell is closely connected with the professional journey of its founder Nitin Udmale.

An agriculture graduate from Maharashtra, Udmale was selected as a Class-One Officer through MPSC before choosing to resign and pursue entrepreneurship. He later spent nearly four years with BP Energy in business management.

His experience across villages, small towns and emerging markets gave him exposure to rural consumer behaviour, aspirations and entertainment preferences. This understanding became an important influence behind the Filmytell concept.

His philosophy can be summed up through the idea that “Audience is Bhagwan”—technology should reduce the distance between storytellers and viewers.

Building a Digital Theatre Ecosystem

Filmytell represents an attempt to rethink how Indian films can reach audiences in a changing digital environment. By combining pay-per-view rentals, regional content and direct digital distribution, the platform aims to create opportunities for films that may otherwise struggle to find traditional distribution channels.

Its broader vision is to develop a digital theatre ecosystem where filmmakers can connect more directly with audiences and viewers can discover stories across languages and formats.

With its focus on affordability, accessibility and independent storytelling, Filmytell is working toward a simple proposition: every story deserves an audience.

India’s enterprises must decide where AI agents can coordinate at scale—and where human judgment must remain in control, says Cognavi

New Delhi [India], September 17: As Indian enterprises move rapidly from experimenting with generative AI to deploying AI agents in real business processes, the bigger challenge is no longer simply how much work can be automated. It is deciding which decisions can safely be handed over to machines and which must continue to rest with people.

Drawing on his experience of growing up in Japan, spending more than 15 years working across the Japan-India corridor and now leading an AI recruitment platform in India backed by a listed Japanese parent, the leadership at Cognavi believes Japan’s long-standing graduate hiring system offers an important lesson for Indian businesses entering the agentic AI era.

Japan’s shinsotsu ikkatsu saiyo, or simultaneous mass hiring of fresh graduates, has processed millions of candidates every year since the post-war period. The system industrialised almost every part of the hiring process—from standardised applications and company briefings to tightly coordinated schedules and large-scale candidate processing.

Yet one crucial part was never fully proceduralised: the interview, or mensetsu. Despite the highly structured nature of the overall system, the final decision on a candidate has traditionally remained with human interviewers, often through several rounds.

The distinction is particularly relevant today as enterprises begin deploying AI agents across recruitment and other high-volume business functions.

“Coordination scales; judgment doesn’t.”

That distinction sits at the heart of Cognavi’s approach to agentic hiring.

AI agents can efficiently handle high-volume, low-ambiguity activities such as parsing thousands of applications, matching candidates against role requirements, coordinating schedules and moving candidates through different stages of the recruitment pipeline. Such automation can significantly reduce repetitive work and free recruiters to focus on areas where human judgment is essential.

The final decision, however, remains a human responsibility.

Determining whether a candidate genuinely fits a role, whether potential outweighs a lack of experience, or whether qualities such as resilience and learning agility are genuinely present involves judgment that cannot simply be delegated to an unsupervised system.

Cognavi has built this distinction into its product philosophy. Candidates on the platform are “matched” rather than “assessed” by the system. Matching refers to aligning demonstrated skills with the requirements of a role, while assessment implies a definitive judgment about a person.

The company also takes a deliberately conservative approach to capability claims, committing to present only features that have actually been developed and demonstrated in production.

The fresher paradox

The issue becomes even more significant in graduate recruitment.

Fresh graduates typically have little or no work history, leaving recruiters with limited information in a conventional résumé. This makes technology-driven processes such as structured assessments, behavioural signals and skill-based matching particularly valuable.

At the same time, the absence of a long employment record makes the final hiring judgment more difficult.

When an experienced hire turns out to be unsuitable, there is often a track record that can help explain the decision. With a fresher, there may be no comparable baseline. A poor hiring decision can therefore remain hidden for years, while its consequences accumulate within an organisation.

This creates what Cognavi describes as the “fresher paradox”: enterprises should automate evaluation inputs more aggressively in graduate hiring, while protecting the final hiring judgment even more carefully.

The challenge, therefore, is not simply deciding whether to automate more or less. It is deciding what to automate.

Automation is not a dial

For enterprise leaders, automation should not be viewed simply as a dial where turning it higher automatically represents progress. It is ultimately a question of accountability—defining where a machine can act independently and where a clearly identified human must remain responsible for the outcome.

Japan’s graduate hiring model offers a useful historical example: industrialise and coordinate everything surrounding the decision, but do not industrialise the decision itself.

As India moves deeper into the agentic AI era, that principle is becoming increasingly relevant.

The enterprises that lead the next phase of talent acquisition may not necessarily be those that automate the most. They are likely to be those that make deliberate decisions about where AI can be trusted to coordinate at scale—and where human judgment must remain firmly in charge.

About Cognavi

Cognavi is an AI recruitment platform focused on enabling enterprises to manage high-volume hiring through skill-based matching and intelligent recruitment workflows, while maintaining human oversight over consequential hiring

New Delhi [India], September 17: Sometimes a health problem becomes so familiar that we stop treating it as a problem.

A Seven-Day Naturopathy Journey at Nirvana

Patient: Mrs. Leelawati
Age/Gender: 41 Years / Female
Admission: 06 September 2026
Discharge: 12 September 2026
Clinical Supervision: Dr. Roshni Bala
Centre: Nirvana Naturopathy & Retreat, Igatpuri, Nashik

For Mrs. Leelawati, constipation had been part of everyday life for almost ten years. Difficult bowel movements, bloating, acidity and a burning sensation in the chest had gradually become something she had learned to manage. Alongside this, she had been living with Rheumatoid Arthritis for nearly four years, with joint stiffness and discomfort adding to her daily challenges.

At 41, she decided that instead of continuing to simply manage the symptoms, she wanted to spend some time focusing on her overall health. This brought her to Nirvana Naturopathy & Retreat, Igatpuri, Nashik, for a seven-day residential naturopathy programme from 06 September to 12 September 2026.

Her programme was conducted under the clinical supervision of Dr. Roshni Bala and qualified BNYS doctors at Nirvana.

Understanding the Complete Picture

The initial approach was not simply, “How can we make the bowel move?”

After ten years of constipation, there was a much bigger picture to understand. Her digestive complaints included bloating, acidity and burning heartburn, while her history of Rheumatoid Arthritis meant that her physical comfort and joint stiffness also needed consideration.

A personalised programme combining natural hydrotherapy, mud therapy, abdominal applications, therapeutic massage, dietary modification and lifestyle guidance was therefore planned.

Her constipation symptoms were also assessed using the Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms (PAC-SYM) questionnaire. At admission, her recorded score was 21, providing a baseline for monitoring her progress.

Hydrotherapy and Mud Therapy

Hydrotherapy became one of the important elements of her naturopathy programme. Selected therapies such as hip baths, underwater massage and aqua-based cleansing procedures were administered under professional supervision.

Mud therapy and selected abdominal applications, including castor oil packs, gastrohepatic packs and cold packs, were also incorporated according to her individual treatment plan.

For her joint-related discomfort, selected therapies such as Nirvana Rejuvenation Massage, deep tissue massage and herbal potali applications were included according to her clinical requirements and tolerance.

The idea was never that one therapy would solve everything. The therapies were combined with appropriate food, rest, hydration and a regular daily routine.

A Simple Herbal Drink

As part of the dietary wellness routine, a mild cumin-coriander-fennel infusion may be used when considered suitable by the BNYS doctor.

Simple recipe: Take ½ teaspoon cumin seeds, ½ teaspoon coriander seeds and ½ teaspoon fennel seeds. Add them to approximately 500 ml of water, simmer gently for a few minutes, allow the preparation to cool to a comfortably warm temperature and strain before drinking.

It can be taken in small quantities during the day rather than as a concentrated kadha.

For a patient with acidity and burning heartburn, the important point is moderation. Strongly spiced or highly concentrated herbal drinks are not automatically better and may aggravate symptoms in some individuals. The drink should therefore be used only when clinically appropriate and well tolerated.

Food Became Part of the Treatment

Diet was another important part of Leelawati’s programme.

Her meals were kept simple, fresh and predominantly Sattvik, with suitable cooked vegetables, moong dal, light khichdi, vegetable soups and appropriately selected seasonal fruits.

Because she had both constipation and bloating, fibre was approached gradually rather than suddenly increasing large quantities of raw salads or bran. Depending on tolerance, foods such as papaya, pear or soaked raisins could be included as part of the dietary plan.

Adequate hydration, regular meal timings and mindful eating were encouraged. Highly processed foods, deep-fried preparations, excessive chilli and very spicy meals were reduced, particularly where they appeared to aggravate acidity or digestive discomfort.

The emphasis was simple: give the digestive system consistency rather than constantly changing remedies.

The Clinical Change

At discharge on 12 September 2026, her PAC-SYM score had reduced from 21 to 3.

During the seven-day programme, Mrs. Leelawati also reported considerable relief from bloating, acidity, burning heartburn and hard stools. She reported improved joint flexibility and a reduction in arthritic discomfort during her stay.

Her metabolic and cardiovascular parameters remained stable under clinical observation.

The PAC-SYM change provides an objective measurement from this particular treatment episode, while her reported symptoms describe her personal experience.

More Than Seven Days

The real challenge begins after leaving a naturopathy retreat.

Leelawati was advised to continue the recommended dietary and lifestyle practices at home, including appropriate hydration, regular meals, mindful eating and consistency in her daily routine.

Her case does not suggest that every patient with chronic constipation or Rheumatoid Arthritis will experience the same outcome. It represents one individual clinical observation following a supervised seven-day programme.

At Nirvana Naturopathy & Retreat, Igatpuri, Nashik, under the guidance of Gurumaa Yogita Khatri, the approach brings together naturopathy, hydrotherapy, mud therapy, Sattvik nutrition, therapeutic treatments and lifestyle guidance, with clinical supervision by qualified BNYS doctors.

For Mrs. Leelawati, the journey was not about finding one miracle remedy. It was about bringing together several carefully planned changes and giving her body a more disciplined environment in which to respond.

After almost ten years of living with digestive discomfort, the change in her symptoms—and the movement in her PAC-SYM score from 21 to 3—became a meaningful milestone in her health journey.

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], September 16: Symbiosis University Hospital & Research Centre (SUHRC), in association with Symbiosis Medical College for Women (SMCW), launched ‘Mahervashin – Reimagining Maternity Care’, an innovative and empathetic initiative aimed at transforming the experience of childbirth by placing dignity, compassion and emotional well-being at the heart of maternity care.

The official ‘Mahervashin’ information booklet for expectant mothers was released by Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Smt. Sunetra Ajit Pawar, along with MLA Shri Shankar Mandekar, in the presence of Dr. Vidya Yeravdekar, Chancellor, Symbiosis International University (SIU); Dr. R. Raman, Vice Chancellor, SIU; Dr. Rajiv Yeravdekar, Provost, Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences, SIU, and other dignitaries. The programme was presided over by Prof. (Dr.) S. B. Mujumdar, Founder & President, Symbiosis.

Speaking on the occasion, Smt. Sunetra Pawar emphasised that safe motherhood is not merely a healthcare concern but a social responsibility. She appreciated Symbiosis for creating a model that brings together medical excellence with compassion, dignity and a sense of belonging.

“A healthy mother means a healthy family, and a healthy family means a capable Maharashtra,” she said, stressing that the health and well-being of women and children are fundamental to the progress of families, society and the state.

Smt. Pawar also highlighted the importance of making maternal healthcare more accessible, particularly in rural areas, and appreciated the role of grassroots healthcare workers in taking such initiatives closer to women and families. She said that Maharashtra has historically been a leader in social transformation, from women’s education to healthcare and dignity, and expressed confidence that initiatives such as Mahervashin can provide a new dimension to development.

The Mahervashin Initiative, conceptualised by Dr. Rajiv Yeravdekar, reimagines the hospital as a ‘maternal home’ where every expectant mother is treated not simply as a patient but as a Mahervashin—a daughter returning to her maternal home. The initiative is built around four core pillars:

Maher Experience: Emotional support, compassionate nursing care and the option of a birth companion.

Maher Nutrition: Nutritious, dietitian-planned meals integrating clinical and traditional maternal nutritional needs.

Maher Culture: Respect for cultural practices, including facilitating traditions such as Dohale Jevan in a safe hospital environment.

Maher Child & Postpartum Care: Lactation counselling, newborn care, postpartum recovery support, depression screening and a special Maher Kit at discharge.

The initiative complements government programmes such as Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA) and Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY). Under the programme, grassroots ASHA workers will be trained as ‘Maher-Doots’, helping extend awareness and compassionate maternity support into communities. Its integration with the NMC Family Adoption Programme will also help nurture empathy and patient-centred care among future doctors.

The event also recognised healthcare professionals and beneficiary mothers for their contribution and association with maternal healthcare.

With ‘Mahervashin’, Symbiosis seeks to demonstrate that maternity care can go beyond clinical treatment—creating an environment where every mother feels safe, respected, cared for and truly at home.

Questions Around Technology, Pricing, and Product Specifications Highlight the Importance of Clear Information for Home Elevator Buyers

New Delhi [India], September 16: For homeowners investing ₹10 lakh or more in a premium home elevator, the technology installed inside the shaft is an important part of the purchase. It can influence expectations around performance, engineering, maintenance, safety, serviceability and price. This is why questions can arise around how Odyssey Elevators describes the technology used in its home elevators, particularly when prospective customers may interpret an electric-drive description as referring to a specific lifting arrangement such as traction, while other information may point to a drum-winding configuration.

The issue is therefore less about using one term or another and more about whether customers receive clear and technically specific information before making a high-value purchase. If the mechanism supplied differs from what a buyer understood from the product description, the distinction becomes relevant to informed consumer choice.

What Does “Electric Lift” Actually Mean?

The fact that a home lift operates using electricity does not, by itself, define the lifting technology. Electrical power is the energy source used to operate the system; it does not explain the mechanism that actually moves the elevator car. The relevant technical question is how the car is lifted and controlled—for example, through a traction arrangement or through a drum-winding mechanism. Different lifting mechanisms can involve different engineering configurations, specifications and performance characteristics.

The source material reviewed for this article notes that Odyssey publicly positions its offering around “Premium Electric Circular Home Elevators” and advanced electric-drive technology. It also notes similar electric-drive positioning by Brio Elevators for its circular lift. For prospective buyers, the practical question is simply: what specific drive and lifting mechanism are included in the elevator being quoted, manufactured and installed?

A more detailed sales process can make this easier to understand by identifying the mechanism in technical terms rather than relying only on broad marketing descriptions. Customers should be able to understand the specification and scope of the product before signing a contract or making a substantial advance payment.

Pricing Questions Make Clear Specifications Even More Important

The technology discussion is also relevant to pricing. The source material refers to market discussions and customer questions about the relative equipment costs of drum-winding configurations, alongside reported prices of approximately ₹10 lakh to ₹17 lakh for certain premium home elevators.

These figures should not, on their own, be interpreted as evidence that a particular elevator has been incorrectly priced. The final price of a premium elevator can include design, cabin construction, customization, installation, civil work, controls, safety equipment, after-sales service, warranties and other components. At the same time, when a customer is paying a significant amount, a clear description of the underlying technology can help explain what is included in the quoted price.

For buyers, the useful question is straightforward: does the quoted price correspond to the complete engineering specification and package being supplied? Clear documentation can help customers make that comparison without relying solely on marketing terminology.

Drum-Winding Technology Is Not the Issue by Itself

It is important to distinguish the technology itself from the question of disclosure. A drum-winding home lift can be a legitimate lifting technology when appropriately designed, manufactured, installed and maintained. The discussion in the source material is therefore not that drum winding is inherently unsafe or unsuitable.

The more useful distinction for a buyer is between describing a product broadly as an “electric lift” and specifying whether the lifting mechanism is traction-based or drum-winding, with an electric motor providing the power. For a technically significant purchase, that information is most useful when it is available before installation and clearly reflected in the quotation or technical documentation.

Corporate Connections Also Merit Clear Identification

The source material also discusses the corporate relationship between Odyssey Elevators and Brio Elevators. Public corporate-information records cited in the original document identify Venkatesh Jagabathina and Afash Mahammad Shaik as designated partners of Brio Elevators LLP and also as directors of Odyssey Elevators Private Limited. Odyssey’s own website is cited as identifying Venkatesh Jagabathina as founder and CEO of both businesses.

These corporate connections do not, by themselves, indicate wrongdoing or establish that the businesses have acted improperly. However, clear identification of the relevant business entity can be useful for customers, particularly where related businesses offer products with similar descriptions. Buyers may reasonably want to know which entity is responsible for the quotation, manufacturing, installation, warranty and after-sales service associated with their purchase.

What Customers Should Check Before Buying

For a high-value home elevator, buyers should request a written technical specification before making payment. The document should identify the drive mechanism, motor arrangement, winding method, controller, safety systems and major components, along with the applicable warranty and service terms.

If Odyssey’s elevators use a traction-based system, the company can address questions about the technology by providing the relevant technical specifications and explaining how the installed mechanism operates. If a particular model uses drum winding, that can likewise be stated clearly in the quotation and technical documentation. This approach gives customers a concrete basis for comparing different products.

Ultimately, the most useful approach is transparency. Customers should be able to compare home elevators on engineering specifications, safety provisions, service commitments and total value—not simply on premium terminology. Clear technical disclosure can help prospective buyers understand what they are purchasing and can also give manufacturers an opportunity to explain their technology accurately and directly.

August initiatives across Delhi, Puducherry and Gurugram combine environmental awareness, e-waste education, collection-linked action and experiential learning

New Delhi [India], September 16: Clean to Green Society (C2G) strengthened its environmental education and outreach efforts during August 2026 through a series of initiatives engaging students across schools and higher educational institutions in Delhi, Puducherry and Gurugram. From creative engagement and awareness sessions to an e-waste collection drive and an educational visit to a live waste-management facility, the programmes were designed to help young people understand environmental responsibility and translate learning into practical action. The initiatives addressed key themes including e-waste management, waste segregation, recycling, responsible disposal, resource conservation and circular-economy practices, while encouraging students to recognise the role that everyday choices can play in building a cleaner and more sustainable future.

As part of the outreach, a Drawing Competition was organised at DAV Public School, Sector 7, Rohini, Delhi, on August 13, around the occasion of Independence Day. Students were encouraged to creatively connect the idea of national responsibility with environmental protection, responsible waste management and the vision of a cleaner and greener India. The activity offered students an opportunity to express their understanding of sustainability through art while reinforcing the message that environmental responsibility is an important part of responsible citizenship.

A Training and Awareness Session was conducted at Societe Progressiste Government Aided High School in Puducherry on August 12. The session introduced students to e-waste management, waste segregation, recycling and responsible disposal practices, with an emphasis on how students can contribute to environmental protection through sustainable everyday behaviour.

In Delhi, another Training and Awareness Session was organised at Government Co-ed Secondary School, Block 2, Geeta Colony, on August 13. Students were sensitised to the importance of e-waste management, segregation, recycling and responsible disposal, and were encouraged to carry these practices beyond the classroom into their homes and communities. The programme sought to inspire young participants to become sustainability ambassadors who can influence responsible behaviour among those around them.

Taking the engagement a step further from awareness to action, Clean to Green conducted a Training and Awareness Session along with an E-Waste Collection Drive at ICFAI Business School (IBS), Gurugram, on August 11. Students were engaged on responsible e-waste management, segregation, recycling, circular-economy practices and the safe disposal of end-of-life electronic products.

The collection component enabled participants to connect what they learned during the awareness programme with an immediate, practical sustainability action. Engagement with students at a business school also provided an opportunity to introduce future professionals and decision-makers to concepts of resource efficiency, responsible consumption and circularity that are becoming increasingly relevant to businesses and institutions.

A major highlight of the month’s outreach was an educational exposure visit by 55 students of Salwan Girls Senior Secondary School, Rajender Nagar, Delhi, to the RLG Mandoli Aggregation Centre on August 19 under the Clean to Green initiative.

Designed as an experiential learning programme, the visit connected classroom concepts with the functioning of a live waste-management facility. Students received practical exposure to different stages of waste management, including segregation, sorting, handling, storage and aggregation, while also learning about responsible recycling and the onward journey of collected waste.

The programme was conceived around the learning approach “See it. Understand it. Practice it.”, enabling students to observe operational processes instead of learning about sustainability only through textbooks. The educational focus included e-waste and battery waste management, responsible consumption and disposal, resource conservation and circular-economy thinking.

The visit was also aligned with the emphasis of the National Education Policy 2020 on hands-on, experiential and competency-based learning, providing students an opportunity to understand how environmental concepts translate into real-world systems and processes.

“Environmental awareness becomes meaningful when it leads to responsible choices and action. Through these engagements, our effort is to help young people understand why sustainability matters and how waste segregation, responsible disposal, recycling and resource conservation work in practice. Schools and educational institutions have an important role in shaping habits early, and when students carry these learnings into their homes and communities, the impact extends beyond the classroom. At Clean to Green Society, we want to create opportunities that enable young people to see, understand and participate in building a more responsible and circular future,” said Ms. Radhika Kalia, President, Clean to Green Society.

At Pankaj Jain Sangh Breaking of the 180-day Fast (Parna) of Jain ShravakNipekshSheth to Take Place on September 20

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], September 16: As a rare and inspiring penance highlighting Jainism’s tradition of austerity, renunciation, and self-restraint, the conclusion (Parna) of the 180-day fast undertaken by Nipeksh Sheth will be solemnized under the sacred presence of Gacchadhipati Param Pujya Acharya Shri Narratnasurishwarji Maharaja at Pankaj Jain Sangh, located in Bhattha, Paldi, on Sunday, September 20, 2026, in a deeply emotional and spiritual atmosphere. On this occasion, monks and nuns of the Jain community, laymen (Shravaks), laywomen (Shravikas), family members, relatives, and community leaders will be present to congratulate and extend their best wishes to the ascetic Nipeksh Sheth. It is noteworthy that the Jain Shravak Nipeksh Sheth had initiated this rigorous penance on March 24, 2026.

Jain Sravaka Nipeksha Seth’s penance celebration Shakrastava Abhishek on 18th September at 6.30 am and Sanji Mehndi at 2.30 pm, Various programs like Tap Vandanavali at 6.30 am on September 19 and Kumarpal Maharaja Aarti at 7.30 pm and Shobhayatra Sahparanu at Pankaj Jain Sangh on September 20 have also been organized.

Blessing the ascetic and addressing journalists, Gacchadhipati Gurudev Param Pujya Acharya Shri Narratnasurishwarji Maharaja, who administered the vows (Pachchhkhandata) for Nipeksh Sheth’s penance, stated: “Today’s youth power is the invaluable heritage of a developed India, tasked with preserving the core values of all communities in the country. In this materialistic era, preserving these values can certainly be achieved through resolute faith, self-restraint, and supreme penance of will power by remaining steadfast for 180 days solely on boiled water. Fasting is not merely a means of causing hardship to the physical body, but a spiritual process of cleansing the karmic impurities accumulated on the soul. This long penance by Nipeksh Sheth is an inspiration for the entire Jain Order and society. Along with his internal purification, this austerity will strengthen the spirit of sacrifice and dedication in society.”

Gacchadhipati Param Pujya Acharya Shri Narratnasurishwarji Maharaja further added that proper dietary habits are crucial for keeping the body healthy. Improper dietary habits are the root cause of all diseases; nowadays, people are increasingly consuming junk food or frozen food, leading to unexpected illnesses. Some people believe that excessive fasting makes a person weak, but that is not true. Fasting performed correctly helps a person cultivate self-restraint and attain self-purification. Shravak Nipeksh Sheth’s 180-day restrained fast will surely inspire the youth and the new generation across all communities to lead a life of self-restraint, good conduct, and spirituality.

Expressing his personal experience and inner feelings regarding the penance, the ascetic Shri Nipeksh Sheth said: “My faith in Jainism, along with the guidance and blessings of my parents and Gacchadhipati Gurudev Param Pujya Acharya Shri Narratnasurishwarji Maharaja, turned this 180-day penance into the greatest spiritual journey of my life. In the initial days, there were physical challenges, but the blessings of Gurubhagwant Param Pujya Acharya Shri Narratnasurishwarji Maharaja, firm faith in the Jinshasan (Jain Order), and the chanting of the Navkar Mantra made physical fatigue vanish. During this penance, I realized that if the mind is strong, the body can endure any difficult resolve. This austerity has granted me immense inner peace, non-violence, and a true realization of self-restraint. This achievement is not mine alone, but the result of divine grace from the Guru and the selfless support of my family.”

New Delhi [India], September 16: Kyptec Automation® is expanding its industrial camera connectivity portfolio with a stronger focus on M12 X Coded Ethernet solutions for rugged machine vision systems, OEM equipment platforms, system integrators, and industrial automation engineering teams. The company’s dedicated M12 portfolio currently includes four products, including straight and right angle X Coded configurations for industrial camera and Ethernet connectivity. By developing structured M12 to RJ45 solutions around connector coding, pin count, cable construction, orientation, and installation geometry, Kyptec Automation® is strengthening its position in one of the most practical areas of industrial machine vision system design.

M12 connectivity is widely used in industrial equipment because threaded connectors can provide a more mechanically secure interface than ordinary friction based connections. In machine vision systems, however, the circular form of an M12 connector does not by itself define the required electrical architecture. Coding, pin count, gender, pinout, interface type, and connector orientation must all match the camera or industrial device specification. Kyptec Automation® is developing its M12 X Coded cable portfolio around this engineering requirement so OEMs and system integrators can specify a cable according to the actual endpoint architecture rather than selecting by appearance alone.

The Kyptec Automation® straight X Coded configuration uses an 8 position M12 X Coded male connector on one side and a shielded RJ45 Ethernet male connector on the other. The cable uses CAT 6 shielded construction with 26 AWG conductors and is offered in standard 2 metre, 3 metre, and 5 metre lengths, with additional lengths available on request. Kyptec Automation® specifies the cable for Ethernet data transmission up to 10 Gbps in compatible industrial environments. These physical and electrical characteristics create a defined transition between rugged M12 equipment side connectivity and conventional RJ45 Ethernet infrastructure elsewhere within the machine architecture.

A second X Coded configuration uses a right angle M12 endpoint while retaining a straight RJ45 connection. This orientation can become important in compact industrial machines where the camera or device is positioned close to structural framing, guarding, an enclosure wall, or another mechanical component. A straight connector may require additional clearance before the cable can bend safely, while a right angle connection can redirect the cable route immediately after the M12 interface. Kyptec Automation® is therefore treating connector orientation as part of the system design rather than as a cosmetic product variation.

Industrial Ethernet performance also depends on more than the nominal cable category. Shielding, conductor construction, connector quality, installation route, bend control, mechanical strain, cable length, electrical noise, and the design of the complete network path can all influence communication stability. A cable rated for a particular Ethernet capability cannot increase the data rate of a camera or host interface beyond what those devices support. Kyptec Automation® is positioning its M12 X Coded portfolio around this system level understanding so engineering teams can distinguish cable capability from actual camera throughput and can design the complete communication path according to the machine requirement.

The broader Kyptec Automation® machine vision cables portfolio includes GigE Ethernet, Camera Link, M12, and USB 3.0 connectivity. Separating these interface families is important because each represents a different communication architecture. M12 itself also includes different coding arrangements, and Kyptec Automation® currently provides X Coded, A Coded, and D Coded products within its machine vision cable range. These coding types should not be treated as interchangeable. The device documentation must determine the required connector coding, pin arrangement, and electrical interface before procurement.

For OEM machine builders, this distinction is particularly important during product standardization. A bill of materials that records only M12 Ethernet cable may not contain enough information to guarantee the correct replacement. A stronger engineering specification can record X Coding, 8 positions, connector gender, RJ45 endpoint, straight or right angle orientation, CAT 6 construction, cable length, and the intended machine connection. This level of detail reduces ambiguity during purchasing, repeated machine production, field service, and spare part management.

“Industrial Ethernet cable selection must preserve both the electrical interface and the mechanical installation requirements of the machine,” said Nitin Aggarwal, Co Founder and CEO of Kyptec Automation®. “With M12 connectivity, engineers need to confirm coding, pin count, connector gender, orientation, cable construction, and the endpoint on both sides before a specification is finalized. Our objective is to give OEMs and system integrators a clearly defined M12 X Coded portfolio that supports reliable camera connectivity and repeatable machine design.”

Mechanical robustness is particularly relevant when industrial cameras or Ethernet devices operate around machine vibration, repeated maintenance, dust, moisture exposure, cable movement, or restricted installation space. Kyptec Automation® specifies its X Coded cables with molded connectors and an outer cable construction described as resistant to ultraviolet exposure, abrasion, and water. These characteristics are intended to support industrial installation requirements while threaded M12 retention helps maintain a secure equipment side connection. Correct cable support remains essential because even a rugged connector should not be used as the primary mechanical support for the entire cable route.

Machine builders must also calculate cable length from the installed path rather than from straight line distance between devices. The route may need to follow machine frames, cable trays, cabinet entries, protective structures, and defined service loops. Excess cable can create unnecessary routing problems, while insufficient length can place stress on connectors and complicate maintenance. Standard 2 metre, 3 metre, and 5 metre options allow OEMs to create controlled cable length choices for repeated machine configurations rather than introducing arbitrary cable lengths during final assembly.

By expanding its M12 X Coded industrial Ethernet portfolio, Kyptec Automation® is strengthening a clear authority position around rugged camera connectivity, M12 to RJ45 architecture, CAT 6 industrial Ethernet, connector coding, mechanical orientation, shielding, and OEM standardization. As machine vision systems become more connected and industrial cameras are installed in increasingly demanding mechanical environments, the company is positioning its M12 connectivity range as a defined engineering platform for OEMs, system integrators, and machine builders seeking reliable and repeatable industrial Ethernet communication.

The new offering moves audits from sample-based checks to 100% transaction verification, extending Valiance’s multimodal intelligence engine into enterprise audit and compliance workflows.

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 15: Valiance Solutions, a provider of applied AI solutions for enterprise and public-sector clients, today announced the launch of Audit AI, a new AI-led audit automation point solution built on top of its multimodal AI platform.

Audit AI is designed to help audit and compliance teams move beyond manual, sample-based reviews toward complete, intelligence-driven verification of every transaction and voucher.

Traditional audits remain constrained by manual voucher checks, limited sampling, and fragmented records. As transaction volumes grow, auditors are often forced to trade depth for speed—a gap that leads to missed anomalies, delayed closures, and compliance leakage. Audit AI addresses this by automating verification, flagging anomalies, and surfacing hidden risk patterns across the full body of audit records, rather than a sampled subset.

At its core, Audit AI runs on Valiance’s multimodal AI platform, built to ingest and fuse data across formats—scanned vouchers, PDFs, invoices, spreadsheets, and structured transaction records—into a single, unified layer of audit intelligence. Rather than treating each document type as a separate problem, the platform reads across formats and sources simultaneously, giving auditors one consistent, evidence-linked view of every transaction instead of siloed, format-by-format checks.

“Audits today are still built for a smaller, slower era of paper trails and manual sampling,” said Shailendra Singh Kathait, CTO & co-founder at Valiance Solutions. “Audit AI changes that. It gives auditors 100% verification with full explainability, so teams get faster audits and stronger governance without giving up control of the final decision.”

How Audit AI Works

Audit AI follows a four-step workflow purpose-built for audit teams:

1. Digital Ingestion—Ingests vouchers and supporting documents, automatically extracting vendor, amount, date, purpose, and other metadata.
2. Rule-Based Validation—Applies predefined audit rules, policy limits, and compliance checks consistently across every record.
3. AI Pattern Analysis—Detects anomalies, repeat transactions, vendor misuse, and suspicious behavioral patterns that manual review often misses.
4. Audit Review and Reporting—Presents flagged cases with clear explanations, routes them for auditor approval, and auto-generates audit-ready reports and traceable digital logs.

Throughout the process, human auditors remain in control of approvals, escalations, and final decisions—AI accelerates detection and coverage; it does not replace auditor judgment.

A New Point Solution on Valiance’s Multimodal Platform

Audit AI is the newest point solution to be built on Valiance’s multimodal AI platform—the company’s enterprise AI engine for turning fragmented evidence and institutional knowledge into investigation-ready, decision-ready intelligence. This platform already powers specialized intelligence suites for technical/investigative analysis and financial crime investigation, each built on the same underlying multimodal capabilities: ingestion across text, documents, images, video, and structured data; automated entity extraction; knowledge-graph correlation; and natural-language query across an entire evidence corpus.

By extending this same multimodal foundation into the audit function, Audit AI inherits the platform’s core intelligence layer—the ability to fuse and reason across mixed data formats—while applying it to a distinct, high-volume use case: routine financial and compliance audits. It is packaged as a focused, ready-to-deploy solution for audit and finance teams so that the same platform intelligence used for complex investigations can now verify everyday vouchers and transactions at scale. Organizations already using Valiance’s platform for investigations or institutional knowledge can adopt Audit AI as a natural, multimodal extension of the same platform rather than a separate, disconnected tool.

Key Capabilities

● 100% Verification—Every voucher is checked, not just a sampled subset.
● AI Pattern Detection—Identifies repeat claims, anomalies, and behavioral risk signals across records.
● Explainable Findings—Every flag is backed by clear logic and evidence, supporting audit defensibility.
● Policy-Aware Intelligence—Audit rules and thresholds are embedded directly into workflows.
● Auditor in Control—Human approvals and escalations remain central to every decision.
● Audit-Ready Outputs—Instant reports, logs, and traceable digital audit trails.
● Scalable Design—Built to handle thousands of records across departments without added audit effort.

Availability and Deployment

Audit AI is available now for enterprise and public-sector organizations, with deployment options built around each client’s security and infrastructure requirements:

• Sovereign, Air-Gapped Deployment—For government, defense, and other high-security environments, Audit AI can be deployed entirely within the client’s own air-gapped network, ensuring no data leaves the organization’s infrastructure at any stage.
• Enterprise Cloud AI—For commercial and enterprise clients, Audit AI is also available as a cloud-hosted deployment, enabling faster rollout, easier scaling across departments, and lower infrastructure overhead.

Interested teams can book a demo directly through Valiance Solutions to see the platform applied to their own audit workflows and discuss which deployment model best fits their environment.

About Valiance Solutions

Valiance Solutions is a deep-tech AI company, built by Indians in India, for India and beyond, on a mission to build sovereign, world-class AI platforms for enterprise, government, and defense institutions. Rather than assembling point tools, Valiance has invested years in fundamental research to build its own multimodal AI platform from the ground up—one capable of ingesting and reasoning across text, documents, images, video, audio, and structured data as a single, unified layer of intelligence.

This same platform powers dual-use AI applications across both civilian and strategic domains: from wildlife conservation and urban public safety to procurement and audit intelligence to mission-critical deployments for government and defense institutions. It is this multimodal, dual-use foundation—built for high-security, sovereign environments—that underpins Valiance’s full product portfolio, including Knowledge Miner, Audit AI, CivicEye, Citizen Assist, Tender Evaluation, Guard Vision AI, and Wildlife EYE & IQ, deployed across industrial, retail, and government environments, including sovereign, air-gapped deployments for high-security clients.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 14: Acclaimed singer, composer, performer and producer Parthiv Gohil, and actor-producer Manasi Parekh has launched Orenda Media Growth Fund, a INR 100 Cr media fund focused on premium media and entertainment ventures, international feature films, prestige productions and globally marketable content. The announcement was made at the Venice Film Festival, where the founding team also unveiled the fund’s inaugural slate of three international films. The fund marks a new chapter in Parthiv Gohil’s three-decade creative journey, bringing together his legacy in music, film production and storytelling with a global investment vision

Orenda Group, the multi-sector holding platform led by Chartered Accountant turned entrepreneur Tarun Shah, who currently manages a $120 million fund, is structuring and managing Orenda Media Growth Fund. For Parthiv Gohil, the launch represents a natural evolution of a creative journey spanning more than three decades. From Indian classical music and Gujarati folk to Bollywood playback, large-scale live performance, film production and storytelling, it has all culminated in a broader vision to create, nurture and invest in stories that can resonate with audiences across India and the world.

The fund’s inaugural slate reflects this ambition, with projects spanning genres, geographies and storytelling traditions. The three films include Nanda Devi, a high-concept international mystery thriller set against the Himalayas; Laxman, an inspiring story of a young boy who turns his dream of caring for abandoned cows into a movement; and Purple America, adapted from award-winning American author Rick Moody’s acclaimed novel and exploring family, mortality, trauma and love.

One of the distinctive voices in Gujarati music, Parthiv has built a career across Gujarati folk, Indian classical, Bollywood, devotional, Sufi, fusion and contemporary Indian music. His national playback credits include films such as Devdas, Saawariya, Heroes, Kisaan, Vaada Raha and Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, with his rendition of “Yoon Shabnami” from Saawariya emerging as one of his most recognised national hits. His musical journey has also taken him to audiences globally through international performances, while his work has included appearances on Coke Studio @ MTV and the iconic national unity initiative Phir Mile Sur Mera Tumhara.

His creative evolution into cinema has been equally significant. Through Soul Sutra LLP, co-founded by Parthiv, he has produced and curated Gujarati films including Golkeri, Kutch Express and Jhamkudi, while continuing to develop new feature film productions. Kutch Express won the 70th National Film Award (Rajat Kamal / Silver Lotus) for Best Feature Film Promoting National, Social and Environmental Values, marking a major milestone in Parthiv’s journey as a producer. The film also saw Manasi bagging the best actor for lead role.

That experience across both the creative and production sides of entertainment now forms the foundation of his vision for Orenda Media Growth Fund. Parthiv Gohil shared, “Great stories transcend borders, languages and cultures. My journey has taken me from music and live performance to producing films and each chapter has reinforced my belief in the power of stories to connect people. Orenda Creative is an extension of that journey – an opportunity to bring together creative conviction and disciplined investment to empower filmmakers and creators who dare to tell meaningful, transformative stories while building a sustainable ecosystem for high-quality media. We believe that prestige content is not only culturally valuable but also represents a significant opportunity in the evolving global entertainment landscape.”

Manasi Parekh shared, “Our aim is to blur international borders through art and cinema and create a platform where stories can travel seamlessly across cultures and geographies. I am incredibly excited about this initiative and the opportunity to bring Indian and regional storytelling to a global audience, while building meaningful strategic production partnerships across markets.”

Once back from their whirlwind tour of Venice, Parthiv will be gearing up for this annual high octane sold out Navratra show and Manasi for the release of her upcoming show on Netflix titled Chumbak.

New Delhi [India], September 15: Skin pigmentation is one of the most common reasons people seek aesthetic dermatology treatment.

A patch left behind after acne, pigmentation caused by sun exposure or persistent melasma can make the skin appear uneven and can become surprisingly difficult to manage. For many patients, the first instinct is to search for a cream or procedure that promises quick results.

Dr. Satyartha Prakash, Cosmetic Laser & Hair Transplant Surgeon and founder of Radiance Clinics, believes that the starting point should be different: understand the skin problem first.

With more than 18 years of experience in aesthetic dermatology, cosmetic procedures and laser treatments, Dr. Prakash has built his career around combining clinical assessment with evolving technologies in aesthetic medicine. His professional profile includes advanced fellowships in aesthetic dermatology, lasers and aesthetic medicine.

Pigmentation is not one condition

One of the challenges in treating pigmentation is that several different conditions can look similar.

Melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation and sun-related pigmentation can all produce dark or uneven areas of skin, but their causes and behaviour may differ.

That is why Dr. Prakash’s approach begins with assessment rather than immediately selecting a laser or peel.

The treatment may vary according to the patient’s skin type, the nature of the pigmentation, its depth and the likelihood of recurrence.

For patients with Indian skin, this careful approach is particularly relevant because aggressive treatment can sometimes create additional inflammation and pigmentation.

The role of laser treatment

Laser technology has become an important part of modern aesthetic dermatology.

At Radiance Clinics, treatments for pigmentation can include laser toning and other laser-based procedures, selected according to the patient’s condition.

The objective is not simply to remove colour from the skin. A successful pigmentation programme also considers skin tolerance, barrier health, sun protection and long-term maintenance.

Dr. Prakash’s professional background includes specialised training in aesthetic dermatology and lasers, reflecting the increasingly important role of energy-based treatments in contemporary skin care.

Why melasma needs patience

Melasma is particularly challenging because it can recur.

Patients may see improvement and assume the problem has permanently disappeared, only to notice pigmentation returning later.

This is why Dr. Prakash advocates thinking about pigmentation as a management programme rather than a single procedure.

Sun protection, appropriate skin care and identifying possible triggers are often as important as the procedure itself.

The goal is to improve the appearance of the skin while maintaining realistic expectations.

Acne and pigmentation often go together

Another common concern seen in aesthetic dermatology is the relationship between acne and pigmentation.

Acne may resolve, but the dark marks left behind can remain for months.

In some patients, the focus therefore needs to be divided into two stages: controlling active acne and subsequently addressing the pigmentation and texture that remain.

Radiance Clinics offers treatment pathways for acne, acne pigmentation and acne scars, with procedures selected according to the patient’s skin condition.

This distinction also explains why a treatment that works for one patient’s pigmentation may not necessarily work for another.

From fairness to skin quality

The language of skin care has changed considerably.

For years, aesthetic advertising frequently revolved around the idea of fairness. Increasingly, patients and doctors are moving towards a different concept: healthy, clear, even-toned and well-maintained skin.

Dr. Prakash’s approach to aesthetic dermatology reflects this broader shift.

The objective is not to change someone’s natural complexion but to address concerns such as pigmentation, dullness, acne marks, uneven texture and visible signs of ageing.

More than 60,000 procedures

Dr. Prakash’s professional profile records more than 60,000 aesthetic and hair-restoration procedures over his career.

That experience spans not only hair transplantation but also laser and aesthetic dermatology procedures.

He has also been recognised professionally, with Radiance Clinics receiving the Best Hair Transplant & Aesthetic Dermatology Clinic in Odisha recognition in the 2017 and 2018 i3 Survey, while his profile notes his appearance in the Times Book of Achievements for contributions to hair restoration and aesthetics.

A personalised future for skin treatment

The future of aesthetic dermatology is unlikely to be about finding one universal treatment.

Instead, it is moving towards personalised protocols—combining the right technologies and procedures according to an individual’s skin type and concerns.

For patients researching pigmentation treatment in Bhubaneswar, melasma treatment, laser toning, acne treatment, acne pigmentation, acne scar treatment, skin rejuvenation and aesthetic dermatology, the most important first step remains understanding the problem before choosing the procedure.

That philosophy has been central to Dr. Satyartha Prakash’s work at Radiance Clinics.

New Delhi [India], September 15: One Day Fashion Show Season 3 witnessed a remarkable Runway debut by Neetu Agrwal, Tiska Mrs India (East) 2026, Classic Category, who made her first-ever professional fashion runway appearance as both a Show Opener and Showstopper.

Presented by Forever India Events, designed and executed by Stylize India, and organized at Fairly Hotels & Resorts, New Delhi, the fashion showcase gave Neetu the opportunity to begin her runway journey with two significant assignments.

Neetu opened the show for Celebrity Designer Label Rabani & Rakka, presenting “Rang-E-Noor — An Ode to Colour, Light and Contemporary Indian Elegance.” She later took the spotlight once again as the Showstopper for Label Black Sheep by ace designer Shivali Sahay from Ranchi.

Starting her fashion journey with the responsibility of both opening and closing the runway made the occasion especially significant for Neetu. Under the guidance of Show Director Vabiz Mehta, her experience with both designers was filled with excitement, learning and emotion. The opportunity was so overwhelming that the debutant was left speechless, with tears in her eyes as she experienced the significance of the moment.

For Neetu Agrwal, the runway was not a familiar professional territory. Her journey to the fashion stage has come after years dedicated to her family, her responsibilities as a homemaker and mother, and her contribution to her family’s business, Creative Engineering and Mining Solutions.

Alongside her family commitments, Neetu is also actively involved in social initiatives through the Neruva Foundation, working with her daughter Kanak Agarwal and Arth Bhatt, the founders of the foundation. The initiative focuses on supporting underprivileged children by helping them develop life skills, understand important life lessons and face challenges with greater confidence.

Her appearance at One Day Fashion Show, therefore, represents more than a fashion debut. It marks a personal decision to step forward and pursue something that brings her joy, confidence and a sense of individuality.

For years, Neetu has been the person her family could rely on — supporting her children, standing beside her loved ones and putting family responsibilities first. The runway gave her an opportunity to dedicate a moment to herself.

Her story also carries a message for homemakers and women who often put their personal aspirations on hold while taking care of their families.

Neetu believes that family responsibilities can remain an important and beautiful part of a woman’s life without becoming a reason to abandon her own dreams. She encourages women to make time for themselves, explore their interests and pursue activities that make them feel confident, happy and empowered.

Her natural comfort around people and her love for positive, energetic environments further encouraged her to embrace this new experience. The fashion show allowed her to discover a different side of her personality and experience the confidence that comes from stepping into the spotlight.

The opportunity to work with Such renowned labels like Rabani & Rakka and Black Sheep by Shivali Sahay also added a special dimension to her debut. As the Show Opener, Neetu introduced the audience to the elegance and visual language of Rang-E-Noor, while her appearance as Showstopper for Label Black Sheep gave her the opportunity to conclude the designer presentation on a high note.

With Vabiz Mehta guiding her as Show Director, the experience became an important learning curve for Neetu, helping her understand the discipline, preparation and confidence required to carry a designer creation on the runway.

What began at One Day Fashion Show as a first step into fashion quickly turned into a defining moment.

Neetu Agrwal’s journey demonstrates that there is no fixed age or stage in life to begin pursuing something new. A woman can continue to fulfil her responsibilities as a mother, homemaker and family member while also creating space for her own aspirations.

Her first runway experience has given her a new perspective — one where fashion is not merely about clothes or the spotlight, but about confidence, self-expression and the courage to step outside one’s comfort zone.

At One Day Fashion Show Season 3, Neetu did not simply make her debut.

She opened the show. She closed the spotlight. And in doing so, she opened a new chapter of her own.

Her runway journey has started with One Day Fashion Show — and for Neetu Agarwal, this may only be the beginning.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], September 15: Child Help Foundation, a Pan India non-profit organization, Child Help Foundation (CHF), with the support of the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), has inaugurated 10 Baby Feeding Centres across 10 Bengaluru Metro stations. These thoughtfully designed spaces provide mothers with comfort, privacy, and a welcoming environment, ensuring that every mother travelling with her little one has a safe place to pause, feed, and care for her child.

Bengaluru is a metro city that never slows down, carrying thousands of commuters across the city every single day. Among them are countless mothers travelling with infants, who often have no dedicated space to stop, rest, or feed their babies comfortably and privately. The launch of Baby Feeding Centres across 10 metro stations is a thoughtful and much-needed initiative. These centres will provide lactating mothers with a safe, comfortable, and private space to feed and care for their little ones, making their daily journeys easier and more convenient.

Each centre has been thoughtfully designed with one purpose in mind: to provide mothers with a clean, safe, and private space where they can feed their babies comfortably, without feeling rushed, exposed, or out of place. These Baby Feeding Centres help ease that burden by providing a dedicated space designed around a mother’s comfort, dignity, and privacy, while ensuring the wellbeing of her child.

Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Jiji John, Executive Director of Child Help Foundation, said, “A Baby Feeding Centre may seem like a small space, but its impact goes far beyond its size. It gives a mother the privacy she needs at an important moment. It gives her dignity during a time that should never feel uncomfortable or inconvenient. And, most importantly, it offers a little comfort in the middle of a busy and tiring day.”

He further added, “I’ve seen mothers walk into these centres feeling anxious and unsure of where they can go, and walk out looking relieved, sometimes even with a smile. That simple transformation, however small it may seem, says everything about why this initiative matters. When a city creates space for its mothers, it is ultimately creating space for its future.”

This initiative reflects Child Help Foundation’s broader commitment to creating public spaces that are more responsive to the needs of mothers and children. As part of this initiative, Baby Feeding Centres have been established not only at metro stations but also at railway stations, hospitals, bus terminals, depots, temples, and police stations.

The 10 Baby Feeding Centres have been inaugurated at the following Bengaluru Metro stations:

• Ragigudda Metro Station
• Jayadeva Metro Station
• BTM Metro Station
• Silk Board Metro Station
• Bommanahalli Metro Station
• Yelachenahalli Metro Station
• Lalbagh Metro Station
• Sri Sathya Sai Hospital Metro Station

The collaboration between Child Help Foundation and Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited(BMRCL) demonstrates what can be achieved when public infrastructure is designed with empathy and inclusivity at its core. While Child Help Foundation brings its experience in understanding and addressing the everyday challenges faced by mothers and children, BMRCL’s support ensures that these centres are accessible to the thousands of commuters who depend on the metro every day.

Together, this partnership represents a meaningful step towards creating public spaces that are more inclusive, supportive, and responsive to the needs of families, particularly mothers travelling with young children.

By bringing these 10 Baby Feeding Centres to life, Child Help Foundation has taken a meaningful step towards making Bengaluru a city that truly moves for everyone, including its youngest passengers and the mothers who carry them.

Child Help Foundation has also recently received a letter of appreciation from the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis Ji, commending the organisation’s work in Palghar, one of Maharashtra’s Aspirational Districts, for the welfare of children, women, tribal communities, and economically disadvantaged families. The letter, issued from Mantralaya, Mumbai, stands as a significant acknowledgement of CHF’s sustained efforts on the ground.

The Chief Minister acknowledged CHF’s initiatives across healthcare, education, WASH, women’s empowerment, child protection, and rural development, recognising their contribution to improving the lives of vulnerable communities in Palghar. He particularly appreciated CHF’s efforts in health awareness, educational infrastructure, menstrual hygiene, and child protection, describing them as meaningful steps towards inclusive growth.

He also commended the dedication of CHF’s Founder, trustees, staff, volunteers, and donors, recognising their collective commitment to serving society. He extended his best wishes to CHF for continued success and its contribution to the inclusive and sustainable development of Maharashtra.

New Delhi [India], September 15: Mobility is more than just movement; it is about independence, self-confidence, comfort, and living an active lifestyle. For senior citizens, people with disabilities, individuals with limited mobility, and patients recovering from accidents or surgeries, choosing the right wheelchair can make everyday activities much easier. If you are looking for the Top Foldable Wheelchair Price Mohali, it is important to understand the different wheelchair types, features, pricing factors, and benefits before making a purchase.

With the growing demand for convenient mobility solutions, foldable wheelchairs have become a practical choice for users who need easy transportation and storage. Evox Group, an Indian mobility solutions company, focuses on developing electric and foldable wheelchairs that combine comfort, portability, safety, technology, and affordability. Under the leadership of Mr. Kulwinder Singh, Founder and CEO of Evox Group, the company is working toward providing modern mobility solutions for users across India.

Whether you are comparing the Top Foldable Wheelchair Price Mohali, searching for a Motorized Wheelchair Price in India, exploring an Automatic Foldable Electric Wheelchair, or looking for a reliable Handicap Wheelchair, understanding the available options can help you choose a wheelchair that matches your mobility requirements.

Why Are Foldable Wheelchairs Becoming Popular in Mohali?

Traditional wheelchairs can sometimes be difficult to transport and store, particularly when users frequently travel between home, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, or different cities. A foldable wheelchair addresses this concern by offering a more compact design that can be folded when not in use.

Foldable wheelchairs can be useful for:

• Easy transportation in a car
• Convenient home storage
• Hospital and rehabilitation visits
• Travel and outdoor activities
• Caregiver-assisted mobility
• Users with limited storage space

Modern foldable electric wheelchairs can provide additional convenience through rechargeable batteries, joystick controls, powerful motors, comfortable seating, electromagnetic braking systems, and anti-tip wheels.

Top Foldable Wheelchair Price Mohali: What Determines the Cost?

One of the most common questions buyers ask is, “What is the Top Foldable Wheelchair Price Mohali?” The answer depends on the type of wheelchair and the specifications included. Basic manual foldable wheelchairs are generally more affordable, while lightweight electric and automatic folding wheelchairs cost more because they include motors, batteries, electronic controls, and additional mobility features.

The overall price can be influenced by:

• Frame material and construction
• Wheelchair weight
• Maximum weight capacity
• Battery capacity and range
• Motor performance
• Folding mechanism
• Joystick or remote control
• Seat and backrest design
• Braking and safety features
• Warranty and after-sales support

Therefore, buyers should compare specifications rather than choosing a wheelchair only because it has the lowest advertised price.

Foldable Manual vs Electric Wheelchair: Which Is Better?

A foldable manual wheelchair can be suitable for users who can propel the wheelchair themselves or have a caregiver available to assist them. It is generally simple to operate and can be a cost-effective mobility option. On the other hand, a Best folding electric wheelchair can be more suitable for users who have difficulty manually moving a wheelchair. Battery-powered motors provide powered mobility, while joystick controls can make direction and movement easier to manage.

For people searching for the Top Foldable Wheelchair Price Mohali, the right choice should depend on the user’s physical ability, frequency of use, travel requirements, environment, and budget.

Important Features to Check Before Buying a Foldable Wheelchair

When comparing foldable wheelchair options in Mohali, buyers should look beyond the price and consider the features that affect everyday usability.

A good foldable wheelchair should ideally offer:

• Comfortable and supportive seating
• Strong and durable frame construction
• Appropriate weight capacity
• Easy folding and unfolding
• Reliable braking
• Stable wheel configuration
• Good battery performance for electric models
• User-friendly controls
• Easy transportation and storage
• Reliable warranty and service support

For electric models, battery range is particularly important. Users who regularly travel outdoors should compare the claimed range with their expected daily requirements.

Automatic Foldable Wheelchair Price: What Should You Know?

The Automatic Wheelchair Price can be higher than that of a conventional manual wheelchair because automatic and powered models generally include additional technology. Features such as automatic folding, electric motors, rechargeable lithium batteries, joystick operation, remote control, electromagnetic brakes, and lightweight frames can influence the final price.

However, a higher price does not automatically mean that a wheelchair is the best choice. The most suitable model is one that provides the right combination of comfort, safety, portability, performance, and affordability for the intended user.

Understanding Wheelchair Cost Before Making a Purchase

The overall wheelchair cost should not be judged only by the initial purchase price. Buyers should also consider battery replacement, maintenance, spare-parts availability, warranty, customer support, durability, and long-term performance. A wheelchair with a slightly higher initial cost may provide better value if it offers stronger construction, dependable components, better comfort, and reliable after-sales support.

For this reason, anyone researching the Top Foldable Wheelchair Price Mohali should compare the complete ownership value rather than simply searching for the cheapest wheelchair available.

Why Choose Evox Group for Foldable Wheelchairs?

Evox Group focuses on mobility solutions designed to make everyday movement more convenient and comfortable. Its range of electric and foldable wheelchairs is designed around practical requirements such as portability, comfort, safety, powered mobility, and ease of operation. Under the vision of Mr. Kulwinder Singh, the company aims to contribute to the growing mobility solutions market in India by developing products that can support seniors, people with disabilities, caregivers, rehabilitation facilities, hospitals, and home users.

For customers comparing the Top Foldable Wheelchair Price Mohali, choosing a manufacturer that provides appropriate product information, warranty assistance, spare-parts availability, and after-sales support can be just as important as the wheelchair’s initial price.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right wheelchair is an important decision because it can directly influence a person’s comfort, independence, mobility, and everyday experience. If you are researching the Top Foldable Wheelchair Price Mohali, compare manual and electric options based on the user’s mobility needs, wheelchair weight, weight capacity, battery range, folding mechanism, safety features, comfort, and long-term support.

Whether you need a basic foldable wheelchair for occasional use or a feature-rich electric model for greater independence, the best wheelchair is not necessarily the cheapest one. It is the wheelchair that provides the right combination of portability, comfort, safety, performance, and value.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 15:  Meher Roshani Foundation SaathSHALA Mumbai celebrated Raksha Bandhan with its children through a meaningful program that recognised the security officers and staff who play critical roles in ensuring their safety and well-being. The event emphasised the spirit of protection, respect, and thankfulness, while encouraging children to identify and appreciate those who work every day to create a secure and loving environment for them.

As part of the celebrations, the children made Rakhis as a creative activity centred around Swa-Raksha,  self-defence and respect, along with our goodwill volunteer, Ms Dilkhush. The activity encouraged the children to reflect on the meaning of Raksha Bandhan and the bonds of care, protection and responsibility that the festival represents. The Rakhis made by the children became a special part of the celebrations.

This ceremony gave an expanded message of protection to life, as the children tied Rakhis to the security personnel, staff and each other, with a sense of commitment to protect, respect and care for one another and everyone around them.

We often overlook the people who keep our children, schools, and the places they gather safe. Those kids giving them a simple thank you was just an expression of gratitude and recognition for their contribution and the important role they play every day.

The initiative also provided an opportunity to reinforce the value of dignity of labour among children, helping them understand that every role has importance and that those who serve and protect our communities deserve respect, appreciation and recognition.

The spirit of protection also extended naturally to the children’s understanding of their teachers. Teachers are entrusted with much more than education; they help protect, guide and prepare children for life. The celebration therefore served as a positive reminder that protecting children is a shared responsibility, and that preparing them with the knowledge, confidence and values they need is an important part of that responsibility.

The Raksha Bandhan celebrations brought together creativity, appreciation and fun, with Rakhi-making, the Rakhi-tying ceremony and the Foundation’s monthly birthday celebrations forming part of the day’s festivities. The children were provided their daily routine food along with special snacks for the occasion and yummy cakebakes, adding to the joy of the celebrations.

Roshani Shenazz, Founder, Managing Trustee, Chairperson & CEO, Meher Roshani Foundation, said: “At its heart, the celebration conveyed a simple message: protection takes many forms, and those who protect and care for our children deserve to be recognised. It is also about reminding them of their own commitment and accountability towards the God-given role of being protectors and nurturers for children.”

About Meher Roshani Foundation:

Meher Roshani Foundation is an 80G, CSR1 and Niti Aayog Darpan Registered Trust, operational since 2011, dedicated to creating a just, equitable, and inclusive society where every individual has access to opportunities and resources.

Founded in early 2026 by a core team of plastic surgeons, NAVAA is based in Andheri West and focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures supported by modern techniques, surgeon-led consultations and patient-focused care. Its positioning, “Refined Aesthetics. Timeless Confidence,” reflects its emphasis on subtle, balanced and natural-looking outcomes.

NAVAA positions itself as an evidence-based centre of excellence, bringing together clinical expertise, modern surgical techniques, aesthetic judgement and patient-focused care. Its approach places medical evidence, safety and individualised treatment planning at the centre of the patient journey.

A Philosophy Built Around Novelty, Renewal and Transformation

The name NAVAA reflects the organisation’s broader philosophy of novelty, renewal and transformation. These ideas represent its approach to modern plastic surgery — combining contemporary medical thinking and techniques with the goal of helping patients achieve meaningful aesthetic or reconstructive change while preserving their individuality.

Rather than approaching aesthetic care through a one-size-fits-all model, NAVAA focuses on understanding each patient’s requirements, expectations and individual anatomy before developing an appropriate treatment plan.

Beyond Conventional Aesthetic Treatments

NAVAA’s clinical scope extends across several areas of plastic and aesthetic care. Its documented treatment categories include facial, skin, body and breast treatments, as well as genitalia, maxillofacial and reconstructive procedures.

The organisation also offers a range of non-surgical aesthetic treatments, including Botox, dermal fillers, skin rejuvenation and other advanced aesthetic therapies. This broader range of services forms part of NAVAA’s multidisciplinary approach to aesthetic care.

By bringing surgical and non-surgical expertise together, the practice aims to provide patients with access to different treatment pathways based on their individual needs and clinical requirements.

A Team with Diverse Clinical Expertise

NAVAA’s medical team includes plastic surgeons Dr. Suraj Nair and Dr. Sanket Shetty, along with aesthetic medicine specialist Dr. Lukesh Rathod.

Dr. Suraj Nair brings 20 years of experience and specialises in areas including facial aesthetics, body contouring, reconstruction and rhinoplasty. His professional background also includes experience in burns treatment, hand and maxillofacial injuries and congenital conditions.

With his professional roots and clinical experience in Mumbai, including the Sion area, Dr. Nair’s motivation is closely connected to providing patients with outcomes that are both aesthetically considered and medically sound. His approach brings together surgical precision and an artistic understanding of proportion, balance and facial and body harmony.

His emphasis is on creating results that remain natural-looking and long-lasting rather than simply producing an immediate visual change. His practice also reflects a strong commitment to ethical patient care, appropriate treatment planning and honest guidance.

Dr. Sanket Shetty, also with 20 years of experience, focuses on facial aesthetics, rhinoplasty and body contouring. His profile highlights precision, patient safety and natural-looking transformations.

Dr. Shetty is also recognised for his refined surgical skills and detail-oriented approach, supported by advanced reconstructive training and international clinical exposure. His background in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery contributes to an approach informed by global best practices and contemporary surgical techniques.

Dr. Lukesh Rathod specialises in non-surgical aesthetic medicine. His areas of practice include Botox, dermal fillers, skin rejuvenation, anti-ageing treatments and facial contouring.

Dr. Rathod’s practice incorporates the latest aesthetic technologies and techniques, with a focus on minimally invasive treatments, advanced skin procedures and personalised facial rejuvenation. His approach is characterised by precision and attention to detail, with treatment plans designed around facial anatomy, ageing patterns and the individual concerns of each patient.

The objective is subtle, refined and balanced enhancement rather than drastic alteration.

The Importance of Individualised Results

One of NAVAA’s defining principles is its emphasis on individualised aesthetic outcomes. Rather than focusing on a uniform concept of beauty, the organisation’s stated philosophy centres on treatments designed around the individual.

The profiles of its medical professionals repeatedly highlight natural, subtle, balanced and refined results. This approach places importance on enhancing appearance while maintaining the patient’s individuality.

For NAVAA, aesthetic treatment is therefore positioned not simply as a means of changing appearance, but as a process that combines clinical judgement, proportion, safety and an understanding of the patient’s expectations.

A Surgeon-Led Patient Journey

NAVAA follows a direct surgeon-led consultation model, allowing treatment planning to begin with an understanding of the patient’s requirements and expectations.

The organisation also highlights pre-operative and post-operative care as important components of its patient journey. Safety, personalised planning and clinical precision form key elements of its approach.

This model is intended to ensure that treatment decisions are guided by clinical assessment and individual requirements rather than by a standardised approach.

Developing Its Presence in Mumbai

NAVAA’s flagship clinic is located in Andheri West, one of Mumbai’s prominent healthcare and commercial areas. The organisation has identified Western Mumbai as an important region for its expansion.

The clinic is located at:

4th Floor, 405, Morya Estate, New Link Road, opposite Infinity Mall, Veera Desai Industrial Estate, Andheri West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400053.

Its long-term vision is to establish itself as a recognised destination for comprehensive aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery in Mumbai.

Looking Ahead

NAVAA represents a relatively new entrant to Mumbai’s plastic and aesthetic surgery landscape, but its founding model is built around combining multiple areas of clinical expertise within a single multidisciplinary practice.

As the organisation develops, its focus remains on modern techniques, personalised treatment planning, patient safety and natural outcomes. Through this approach, NAVAA aims to build a practice where aesthetic refinement and reconstructive care are guided by clinical expertise and individual patient needs.

A key part of this vision is to expand access to safe, high-tier surgical outcomes, making advanced and carefully considered aesthetic and reconstructive care more accessible to patients seeking specialised expertise.

NAVAA’s broader ambition is to build a centre where evidence-based practice, refined surgical techniques and personalised care come together to support consistently high standards of patient outcomes.

For patients and audiences looking to follow NAVAA’s work and updates, the organisation maintains its presence on Instagram, while Dr. Lukesh Rathod is also professionally active on LinkedIn.

Founded 2000 | Celebrating 26 Years in 2026 | 2,700+ Concerts | 70+ Cities | India & International

Supratiek Aurko was founded in 2000 and completes 26 years in 2026. After more than 2,700 concerts across 70-plus cities, what does this milestone mean to you?

Supratiek Shyamal Ghosh:

For me, 26 years is ultimately a story of staying the course. When Aurko began in 2000, I could not have imagined where the journey would lead. Since then, there have been 2,700-plus concerts across more than 70 cities in India and internationally, each bringing different people, places and experiences into my life.

The numbers are gratifying, but what they really represent is consistency. Careers can be built around moments; longevity is built around commitment.

I am particularly proud that after 26 years, I still approach a performance with curiosity and excitement. That feeling is what has kept the journey moving.

You are a singer, songwriter, composer and live performer, with associations with T-Series and Times Music. How have these different experiences shaped the artist you are today?

Supratiek:

Each role has taught me to look at music from a different angle. Songwriting taught me to begin with an idea. Composition taught me to translate emotion into sound. Singing taught me the importance of interpretation, while live performance taught me how to communicate directly and instinctively.

My associations with T-Series and Times Music were valuable chapters in taking my original work to wider audiences.

The industry has since moved into an intensely digital era. There are more ways than ever to release music and reach listeners, but also far more competition for attention.

That is why I tell young artists: don’t chase visibility at the expense of identity. Build the craft, find your voice and let the audience discover something that is genuinely yours.

What does “Aurko – The Rising Sun” represent, and what is the next chapter for Aurko?

Supratiek:

The Rising Sun is a powerful metaphor for where Aurko stands today. It represents renewal, possibility and the beginning of another phase.

Aurko has always been rooted in music and live performance, and performing across 70-plus cities has given me a remarkably broad perspective on audiences and culture. One of the great privileges of this journey has been discovering how differently people experience music while responding to the same fundamental emotions.

At 26, I don’t want Aurko to become defined by its history. I want its history to become its foundation.

The next chapter is about new music, new performances, new collaborations, and new audiences, in India and internationally.

Aurko began in 2000. The story is still being written.

You founded Alive India as a separate initiative from Aurko. What is Alive India designed to build?

Supratiek:

The distinction is important. Aurko is my musical and live-performance identity. Alive India is a wider creative platform.

Alive India is built around Music × Media × Live × Creators. Its purpose is to bring together people and capabilities that increasingly intersect in today’s creative economy—musicians, creators, media professionals, live platforms, brands and audiences.

India has tremendous creative energy, but individual talent does not always have access to the right networks or opportunities.

I want Alive India to help create those connections.

So the ambition is not to create another music brand. It is to develop a creative ecosystem where ideas, talent, platforms and collaborations can meet.

Your “Sing to Save” philosophy and the Mother Teresa International Award in Singapore add a humanitarian dimension to your work. What does that mean for you?

Supratiek:

“Sing to Save” comes from a very simple conviction: music has the ability to move people, and that ability can be used for something larger than entertainment.

A song can create awareness. A performance can bring people together. A platform can draw attention to a cause. That is where I see the social responsibility of an artist.

Receiving the Mother Teresa International Award in Singapore was deeply meaningful because it brought my work into the context of values such as compassion and service. I accepted it with gratitude, but also with a sense of responsibility.

At this stage of my journey, I want achievement to be measured not only by concerts, releases or recognition, but also by what the work contributes.

My guiding principle is:
“Sing from the heart, create with purpose, perform with honesty—and leave people with a little more light than they came with.”

Alwar, Rajasthan – 14th September 2026: Cricket Academy of Pathans (CAP) today expanded its presence in Rajasthan with the inauguration of its 39th centre at the Laxmi Devi Institute of Engineering & Technology (LIET) in Alwar, a key milestone that establishes its sixth centre in the state and extends its commitment to nurture emerging talent across the region.

The inauguration was led by Mr. Yusuf Pathan, the celebrated former Indian cricketer and co-founder of Cricket Academy of Pathans (CAP) alongside Mr. Harmeet Vasdev, Managing Director of CAP. Their presence reinforced the academy’s vision of upholding the highest standards of coaching and creating opportunities for aspiring cricketers across the region.

“Our objective is to ensure that talent and potential are identified and developed in every corner of the country. Alwar has tremendous potential and through this centre, young players will have access to the right technical guidance and a clear pathway towards professional cricket,” said Mr. Yusuf Pathan.

With a proven legacy of training over 18,000 students and guiding more than 550 cricketers into prestigious tournaments like IPL, Ranji Trophy and other premier domestic circuits, CAP continues to solidify its position as a key player in fostering the next generation of cricketers.

Among the academy’s recent success stories from Rajasthan is Shifan Khan of CAP Jaipur, who was selected for the BCCI U-16 High Performance Camp 2026 and named the best cricketer in the sub-junior category at the 33rd Mathuradas Mathur Awards.

“Our strategic focus is on identifying and empowering potential in untapped markets, as India’s tier II and tier III cities have a massive pool of unguided talent. By establishing our sixth centre in Rajasthan, we are expanding access to quality cricket training across the state and ensuring that talented young athletes in Alwar have the opportunity to convert their passion into a professional career. In line with modern coaching methodologies, the centre will be equipped with advanced technologies like StanceBeam, which offers players real-time feedback and in-depth analysis to enhance their performance,” said Mr. Harmeet Vasdev, Managing Director of CAP.

Mr. Vasdev added, “CAP also recently concluded its PAN-India Scholarship Program, organised to ensure that financial limitations never prevent a promising cricketer from accessing world-class training and development opportunities at CAP. We will continue this initiative every year to inspire the next generation of cricketers across India to dream big and pursue their ambitions in the sport.”

CAP is committed to expanding its footprint further with plans to launch more than 25 new centres across tier II and tier III cities in India.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 14: The second edition of the Cinekind Awards was officially announced in Mumbai with a renewed and expanded vision to bring together the Indian film industry, animal welfare organisations, creative professionals and socially conscious citizens on one influential national platform.

Supported by the Film Federation of India (FFI) and People for Animals (PFA), Cinekind has been conceived as a movement that uses the extraordinary reach of cinema to promote compassion, kindness, responsible treatment of animals and greater awareness of animal welfare.

Addressing members of the press, Smt. Maneka Gandhi, Founder of People for Animals, spoke extensively about the responsibility of cinema and the entertainment industry in shaping public attitudes towards animals.

“Cinema is one of the most powerful influences on human behaviour. What millions of people watch on screen does not remain confined to the screen—it enters their homes, their conversations and, ultimately, their attitudes. Therefore, filmmakers have an enormous opportunity, as well as a responsibility, to ensure that animals are represented and treated with dignity, sensitivity and compassion,” said Smt. Maneka Gandhi.

She stressed that kindness towards animals should not be viewed as an isolated cause but as an essential component of a compassionate and civilised society. “Our relationship with animals reflects our values as human beings. A society cannot speak of compassion and progress while ignoring cruelty towards living beings who cannot speak for themselves. Animals experience pain, fear, hunger, affection and trust. They deserve protection, respect and humane treatment,” she said.

Speaking further to the media, Smt. Gandhi called upon producers, directors, actors, writers, technicians and other members of the entertainment industry to become active partners in spreading awareness about animal welfare.

“The film industry reaches an audience on a scale that very few institutions can match. Even a small message incorporated intelligently into a film, television programme, documentary, animation or digital production can influence millions of people. Imagine the transformation we can achieve if the creative community consciously chooses to promote kindness rather than indifference and sensitivity rather than cruelty,” she emphasised.

Smt. Gandhi also highlighted the importance of responsible practices whenever animals are involved in film and audiovisual productions. She said that technological advancement has provided filmmakers with numerous alternatives and that creativity should increasingly be used to ensure that entertainment never comes at the cost of unnecessary distress or suffering to animals.

“Technology today provides extraordinary possibilities. Filmmakers have access to visual effects, animation, computer-generated imagery and many other creative techniques. We should continuously encourage innovation that reduces dependence on live animals wherever there is a possibility of stress, danger or exploitation. Good cinema and animal welfare are not competing interests; they can and must complement each other,” she added.

Describing the Cinekind Awards as an important step in this direction, Smt. Gandhi said that recognising responsible creative work can encourage the entire industry to think more deeply about the messages it communicates.

“Cinekind is important because appreciation creates examples, and examples create movements. When we honour filmmakers and artistes who demonstrate compassion towards animals, we are telling the industry that kindness matters. I would like Cinekind to encourage writers to write with sensitivity, directors to direct responsibly, producers to adopt humane practices and performers to use their influence for those who have no voice of their own,” she said.

Shri Abhay Sinha, President of the Film Federation of India, welcomed the initiative and said that the Indian film industry has always played an important role in addressing social issues and influencing public consciousness.

“Cinema has the ability to entertain, educate and inspire simultaneously. The Film Federation of India is pleased to support an initiative that connects the creative strength of our industry with the universal value of compassion. Cinekind can encourage responsible filmmaking while bringing greater attention to animal welfare,” said Abhay Sinha.

Dr. Sandeep Marwah, Vice President of the Film Federation of India, described Cinekind as much more than an awards ceremony. “Cinema is not merely entertainment; it is one of the strongest instruments of education, awareness and social transformation. Cinekind represents the beautiful meeting point of creativity and compassion,” said Dr. Marwah.

“Cinekind is a celebration of the human values of compassion, kindness and coexistence. When cinema communicates with the heart, it can change attitudes, inspire communities and create a more sensitive society. Our ambition is to develop Cinekind into an international movement where filmmakers, artistes, media professionals and animal welfare organisations join hands for the protection and welfare of animals,” Dr. Marwah added.

He further stated that the second edition would aim at strengthening cooperation between the film fraternity and organisations working in animal welfare while encouraging responsible and humane practices across cinema, television, digital media and other audiovisual platforms.

The Cinekind Awards will recognise films, filmmakers, artistes, producers, writers and creative professionals whose work reflects sensitivity towards animals, promotes humane values and contributes to creating greater public awareness about animal welfare.

Dr Manvinder Singh Sachdev explains that it is imperative to identify the symptoms in children associated with heart problems and to undergo a cardiac evaluation of the child.

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], September 10: It is no surprise that children have a natural resilience. In many cases, fatigue, breathlessness, or poor appetite can be associated with other common ailments that all children may have. Nevertheless, there are some symptoms which can indicate the presence of some heart diseases, and should not be ignored. Proper identification of early signs and further evaluation of these can assist in successful diagnosis of heart disease among children.

Dr. Manvinder Singh Sachdev, a distinguished paediatric cardiologist at NanheDil, Gurugram, advises paying particular attention to recurring, persistent symptoms, which may impede normal life of children.

Children are not always capable of explaining what is happening with them. This is why it is very important that parents notice any change in their activity and growth. It may be persistent breathlessness, unexplainable fatigue, discoloration of their lips or fingers, fainting, lack of proper weight gain, and difficulties with feeding in infants. Such symptoms, should be evaluated by a doctor,” said Dr. Manvinder Singh Sachdev.

Warning Signs Parents Should Watch For

Heart disorders in children may manifest in a variety of ways according to the age of the child and the type of heart disorder. In certain cases, symptoms might be apparent, but in some others, they may manifest only subtly.

• Excessive breathlessness during ordinary activities: Where a child experiences unusual breathlessness during walking or playing or when engaging in activities that were formerly well-tolerated by the child, then such a situation should be examined by doctors. Particularly where the level of breathlessness does not correlate well with the amount of physical effort.
• Tiredness and reduction in the child’s normal activities: Children are normally very energetic by nature. Any significant decrease in stamina, tiredness or avoidance of normal physical activities that the child usually enjoyed may be worthy of discussion with a pediatrician.
• Blue discoloration of lips, tongue or fingers: Blue or greyish coloration of the lips or tips of the fingers at times indicates poor oxygenation and requires immediate medical intervention especially if coupled with breathing problems.
• Fainting spells or dizziness: Fainting episodes or frequent dizziness experienced by the child especially while physically active requires a medical review. Though there are many other reasons for a child’s fainting episode, all of them need cardiac evaluation.
• Poor feeding and sweating among infants: There are some heart problems among babies who experience problems feeding, tire easily during feeds, have fast breathing and sweating during feeds. All these can be symptoms of increased load on the heart.
• Difficulty gaining weight or failing to grow: When a child fails to gain weight adequately or grows slowly despite receiving adequate nutrition, doctors examine different possible reasons including heart disease.
• Rapid or irregular heartbeats: Parents may from time to time observe abnormal heartbeat patterns in their children. Any recurrent episodes of palpitations that are accompanied by dizziness, chest discomfort or even fainting needs to be examined.
• Discomfort or pain in the chest: Usually chest pains among children are due to different reasons than heart problems. Nonetheless, chest discomfort during physical activity, which is recurrent or accompanied by breathlessness, dizziness or fainting requires medical attention.

Not Every Symptom Means Heart Disease

Dr. Sachdev additionally highlights the fact that knowing about these warning signs doesn’t imply that every symptom seen needs to be associated with the heart disease.

“Parents should neither panic over each and every symptom nor neglect any consistent or unusual signs. There are many symptoms in children which don’t have anything to do with the heart. The reason for identifying these warning signs is to determine whether further assessment is required or not. An accurate assessment helps doctors figure out whether there is a harmless symptom or one which needs to be evaluated further,” says Dr. Sachdev.

The assessment of the child includes a complete medical history and physical examination. Depending upon the symptoms and the findings of the doctor, some investigations like ECG, echocardiography or others can be advised for assessing the child’s heart condition.

Why Early Evaluation Matters

Some heart diseases that occur congenitally can be diagnosed in the prenatal stage, in infancy or during pediatric checkups. However, other heart conditions may manifest only during the growth stages of the child. Certain rhythm and structural diseases may also be diagnosed only when the child is older.

Early evaluation will allow for proper diagnosis and treatment planning for the child, may include either monitoring, medication or surgical intervention. Early diagnosis will also give the parents some answers to the repetitive symptoms of their children.

At NanheDil, the child heart centre Gurugram, there is emphasis on evaluating and treating heart diseases in infants, children and adolescents. Using specialised evaluation and appropriate treatment, each child will receive care based on his or her unique set of symptoms and background.

About Dr. Manvinder Singh Sachdev

Manvinder Singh Sachdev, M.D., FNB is a Pediatric cardiologist at NanheDil, Gurugram, The Child Heart Centre. As a clinician, he concentrates his efforts on diagnosing and evaluating heart disease in children, with special attention to prompt assessment and management of children’s heart issues.

New Delhi [India], September 14: Trust, quality and thoughtful refreshment come together in an Indian tea brand’s journey from botanicals to the everyday cup

India — In a world where consumers are increasingly conscious about what they eat and drink, the idea of a good beverage is evolving. It is no longer only about flavour. It is about ingredients, preparation, quality, trust and the experience that follows.

For Sweetea, this evolution is captured in two simple words: Trust and Deserve.

The philosophy begins with a straightforward belief: there are countless ways to elevate an everyday moment, but two things make the experience truly meaningful—trusting the right hands and choosing what is genuinely good for you.

When those two come together, Sweetea believes, something effortless happens: balance.

Where Trust Meets Deserve

Sweetea does not see tea merely as a beverage.

It sees the cup as an experience—one shaped by the ingredients selected, the way they are prepared and the responsibility behind every detail.

The brand’s philosophy is built around a promise that works both ways.

You trust Sweetea.

Sweetea works every day to deserve that trust.

That means focusing on pure loose-leaf teas, thoughtful preparation, consistent quality and responsible service.

The result is intended to be uncomplicated: a cup that tastes good, feels considered and becomes part of an everyday ritual.

More Than Flavour: A Journey from Lips to Mind

Tea begins with the senses.

The aroma reaches you first. Then comes the flavour. The warmth of the cup. The texture. The subtle differences between flowers, herbs, leaves, fruits and roots.

But for Sweetea, the experience does not end at the lips.

Its storytelling describes tea as a journey from lips to brain—where flavour becomes perception, and a simple drink becomes a moment of attention, enjoyment and clarity.

This is the meaning behind the brand idea:

“Loads of flavours to your lips and mind.”

Different botanicals can create remarkably different sensory experiences. Some are floral and delicate; others are earthy, refreshing, fruity, spicy or naturally complex.

Sweetea brings these possibilities together through its loose-leaf tea approach, encouraging consumers to explore tea beyond a single familiar flavour.

Herbal & Wellness Tea Specialists Since 2016

Sweetea has positioned itself around herbal and wellness teas since 2016, combining its interest in botanicals with biotechnology expertise.

The focus is not simply on attaching wellness claims to ingredients. Instead, the brand’s philosophy centres on understanding the ingredients, maintaining quality and presenting them responsibly.

That distinction is increasingly important as consumers navigate a marketplace filled with increasingly ambitious health and wellness promises.

For Sweetea, responsibility is part of the product itself.

The Story of Balance

Balance is at the heart of the Sweetea identity.

It exists between:

Flavour and function.

Tradition and curiosity.

Nature and knowledge.

Trust and responsibility.

What you seek and what you deserve.

The idea is not to make every cup complicated.

It is to get the simple things right—again and again.

An Emblem Designed to Tell the Story

Sweetea’s emblem carries this philosophy visually.

Inspired by the philosophy commonly associated with Yin and Yang, the emblem represents two complementary forces coming together to create harmony.

Its two flowing halves represent Trust and Deserve—different ideas that become complete when connected.

The flowing form creates an “S” for Sweetea, while its continuous movement suggests the flow of tea and the brand’s ongoing commitment to quality.

The leaf-like character reflects nature and purity, while the inner curves represent the brand’s metaphorical journey from lips to brain—from flavour and sensory enjoyment toward thoughtfulness and clarity.

The surrounding circle brings the elements together, representing balance, connection and wholeness.

It is more than a logo.

It is a visual summary of what Sweetea wants the brand to stand for.

A Vision Beyond the Cup

Sweetea’s vision is to become a trusted part of everyday life by bringing balance, clarity and natural refreshment to every cup.

Its mission follows four principles:

* Deliver pure and natural loose-leaf tea

* Maintain consistent quality and trust

* Create refreshment for both body and mind

* Serve responsibly, every single time

The emphasis is deliberately simple.

Because trust is not created by one product, one advertisement or one conversation.

It is built through repetition—one cup, one customer and one experience at a time.

A Simple Cup, Done Right

The modern tea consumer may have more choices than ever before. But choice also creates a new responsibility for brands: to make those choices meaningful.

Sweetea’s answer is its Story of Balance.

A belief that quality should be felt rather than merely claimed.

That flavour can be an experience.

That natural ingredients deserve thoughtful preparation.

That wellness should be approached responsibly.

And that when a customer places trust in a brand, the brand must continually work to deserve it.

Ultimately, Sweetea’s story is not about promising perfection.

It is about doing the simple things right—with care, consistency and intention.

Because when Trust meets Deserve, every sip becomes smoother, every bite becomes more meaningful, and every moment becomes a little more refined.

Sweetea

Trust. Deserve. Enjoy Healthy Refreshments.

The Story of Balance.

Based on inputs from 489 organisations across 12 industries, the report finds only 11.5% of Indian HR functions reached “Intelligent” maturity in 2026.

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 14: HROne, a leading HCM software, today released HR Operations Excellence Benchmark 2026, a nationwide research study revealing a structural gap running through enterprise HR in India: the average HR operations maturity score across the country is 54.6 out of 100, and only 11.5% of organizations qualify as “Intelligent,” the highest tier on the report’s four-stage maturity model.

The report draws insights from 489 unique respondent organizations, spanning 12 industries, including 207 CHROs, CPOs, and HR Heads. The findings show that Indian HR has digitized individual, rules-based transactions with real discipline, but has not redesigned the coordination work that runs between them: approvals, escalations, employee queries, the handoffs that determine whether HR feels fast or slow to the people inside it.

The central message of the report is clear: Indian HR has already won the digitization argument. What remains unresolved is whether the work between the systems moves at the same speed the systems themselves now promise.

Key Findings: The HROne HR Operations Maturity Index 2026

HR Operations Excellence Benchmark 2026 moves beyond a single adoption number to assess structural readiness dimension by dimension. It combines a quantitative benchmark with qualitative context from HR leaders, who shared their perspectives on the findings to ground the numbers in real operating experience.

Key insights include:

• The maturity ceiling of HR operations is lower than most assume

Most HR teams score just 54.6/100 on operational maturity – solidly “Digitized,” one step short of “Automated.” Only 1 in 9 organizations (11.5%) has actually made it to “Intelligent.”

• Strength in one area of HR services masks weakness in another
  Payroll runs like clockwork (77.8/100), but employee service delivery lags badly (41.8/100) – a 36-point swing. The same HR function can be excellent and stuck at the same time.
• Chasing people down has become HR’s job
  64.6% of HR teams manually chase work at least once a week just to keep things

moving. It’s no surprise 60.3% call manual follow-ups and approvals their #1 operational headache.

• Reporting hasn’t caught up to what’s actually wanted by HRs

62.8% of organizations still report monthly, or don’t report at all. Yet 42.1% say analytics and dashboards are their top priority this year – the tools simply haven’t kept pace.

• HR-IT alignment is the biggest lever nobody’s pulling

Maturity nearly doubles from 36.6 to 74.9 when HR and IT jointly own data, adoption, and governance. Only 9% of organizations have gotten there.

The report introduces the HROne HR Operations Maturity Index 2026, a benchmark framework that scores every organization across eight operational dimensions — payroll reliability, employee service delivery, attendance and workforce visibility, compliance readiness, workflow discipline, reporting and decision visibility, HR-IT enablement and governance, and AI readiness and adoption and combines them into a single score placed on a four-stage model: Manual (0–30), Digitized (31–55), Automated (56–75) and Intelligent (76–100). A free, public version of the index is available now as a self-assessment tool, letting any organization see exactly where it stands in about 20 seconds.

Implications for Priorities of HR Leadership

HR’s operational maturity is no longer a back-office question. It shapes how fast a company hires, how reliably it pays people, how quickly an employee query gets resolved, and how much of a leadership team’s week is spent firefighting instead of deciding. The benchmark shows that in most Indian organizations, the systems are already in place — the coordination discipline to run them well is not.

“Buying software for every HR process was never the same thing as making those processes move faster together. This benchmark exists so that HR leaders can see exactly where their own organization sits before they decide what to fix next,” says Karan Jain, Founder, HROne.

Independent voices in the HR profession echo the same concern. “Indian HR has spent two decades proving it can run payroll and attendance without error. That was never the hard part. The hard part and the part this benchmark finally put a number on is whether the work between those systems moves with any discipline at all,“ says Dr. T.V. Rao, widely regarded as the Father of HRD in India, Founder of the National HRD Network and TVRLS.

The research emphasizes that the real competitive advantage in HR operations no longer lies in adopting more point solutions; it lies in closing the coordination gap between the ones already in place.

Implications for India’s Business Ecosystem

India’s scale, its pace of hiring, and the regulatory complexity HR teams operate under create conditions where digitization happens fast, often out of sheer operational necessity while the discipline to coordinate across systems lags behind.

The report argues that an unresolved coordination gap introduces risk that compounds as companies scale:

• Slower hiring and onboarding cycles when approvals depend on manual chasing rather than defined workflow
• Compliance exposure when follow-up, not process design, is the only safety net for statutory deadlines
• Elevated attrition risk in the dimension the data shows is weakest nationally — employee service delivery
• Leadership decisions made on monthly or unavailable reporting, in a market that moves week to week

In a market where operational discipline increasingly shapes enterprise valuation and employer brand, HR coordination maturity becomes a board-level conversation — not merely a functional one.

HROne’s Commitment to Closing India’s HR Operations Gap

The launch of this benchmark reflects HROne’s long-standing thesis: that closing India’s HR maturity gap requires not another point solution, but a single coordination layer where approvals, escalations and employee queries move in one place, visible to everyone who needs to see them.

“The most operationally excellent HR teams of tomorrow won’t be the ones with the most software, they’ll be the ones where the work between that software moves without anyone having to chase it. That’s the gap this benchmark measures, and it’s the exact gap HROne was built to close. Every module we ship is judged against one question: does this make the coordination faster, not just the transaction,” says Karan Jain, Founder, HROne.

The study concludes that HR’s strategic relevance over the next decade will depend less on how many processes get digitized and more on how fast the work between them moves. In this next phase, HR will not be judged by how many systems it has deployed. It will be judged by how fast work actually moves between them.

About the Research

The HR Operations Excellence Benchmark 2026 is based on a survey fielded to HR professionals across India. HROne received 510 submissions; after deduplication, 489 unique respondent organizations across 12 industries were retained for analysis, including 207 CHROs, CPOs, and HR Heads. Respondents were scored across the eight dimensions of the HROne HR Operations Maturity Index 2026, which combine into an overall maturity score placed on the four-stage model described above. All data is self-reported by respondent organizations and is presented as an indicative benchmark, not an audit or compliance assessment of any individual organization.

New Delhi [India], September 14: Kyptec Automation® is strengthening its global machine vision and industrial automation portfolio as the India based engineering brand expands its presence across precision optics, industrial camera connectivity, specialized imaging technologies, and automation components for OEMs, system integrators, and machine builders. The company currently presents a portfolio of 70 products across its website, including 31 products within its Machine Vision Lens collection, and reports exports to more than 100 countries. Operating under BalaJi MicroTechnologies Pvt. Ltd. and associated with the B.B. Group of Companies, established in 1949, Kyptec Automation® is building an international identity around technologies that determine how industrial machines capture, transmit, and use visual information.

The expansion reflects a deliberate strategy to develop technical depth across the complete machine vision imaging chain rather than operate as a general component catalogue. Modern machine vision depends on the coordinated performance of the camera sensor, lens, field of view, working distance, optical resolution, image circle, pixel size, data interface, cable construction, connector architecture, bandwidth, shielding, and signal integrity. A limitation at any stage can reduce image quality, communication stability, or repeatability across the complete system. Kyptec Automation® is therefore developing complementary product families around industrial optics and camera connectivity so engineering teams can evaluate these technologies as connected elements of one industrial imaging architecture.

Precision optics form one of the strongest pillars of the portfolio. Kyptec Automation® offers machine vision lenses across multiple focal lengths, sensor formats, and optical resolution classes, including 5 megapixel, 10 megapixel, and 25 megapixel families. Its specialist optical portfolio extends to Line Scan Camera Lenses designed for 4K and 8K imaging architectures and SWIR Camera Lenses for short wave infrared imaging. This breadth establishes a clear technical focus around industrial camera optics, sensor matching, field of view, working distance, image circle, contrast, optical resolution, and the ability of a lens to preserve useful detail before data reaches processing software.

Camera connectivity forms the second major pillar of the Kyptec Automation® machine vision strategy. Its portfolio of machine vision cables supports important industrial camera interfaces including GigE Ethernet, Camera Link, M12 connectivity, USB 3.0, RJ45, MDR 26, and SDR 26 configurations. Reliable image acquisition requires more than connecting a camera to a host device. Data bandwidth, shielding, cable length, connector security, routing, mechanical stress, electromagnetic conditions, interface compatibility, and installation geometry can all affect communication stability and continuous industrial operation. Kyptec Automation® is developing this portfolio around the principle that industrial camera connectivity is an engineering decision with direct consequences for system reliability.

The combination of optics and connectivity gives Kyptec Automation® a broader position within the machine vision signal chain. A high resolution camera requires appropriate optics to create the image and reliable connectivity to transport acquired data. Line scan systems require careful matching between sensor length, pixel pitch, lens resolution, field of view, and camera interface. SWIR systems require optics capable of transmitting the required short wave infrared spectrum. GigE architectures depend on appropriate industrial Ethernet connectivity, while Camera Link systems require correct camera to frame grabber configurations. By developing product depth across these connected technologies, Kyptec Automation® is positioning itself as an engineering focused machine vision component partner rather than a supplier of isolated products.

“Machine vision performance depends on the complete imaging chain, not on one component in isolation. Our strategy is to build deeper engineering capability across precision optics and industrial camera connectivity so OEMs and system integrators can specify reliable imaging systems with greater confidence,” said Nitin Aggarwal, Co Founder and CEO of Kyptec Automation®. “As camera resolution, imaging speed, and automation intelligence continue to advance, the quality of the underlying optical and connectivity architecture becomes even more important. We want Kyptec Automation® to be recognized globally for engineering depth in these fundamental machine vision technologies.”

OEMs and system integrators are a central focus of this strategy because industrial machine development requires component consistency across repeated production cycles. Engineering teams may need to standardize approved lens families for several sensor formats, define camera connectivity for multiple machine configurations, document replacement components, maintain compatibility, reduce unnecessary variation, and preserve supply continuity throughout the operating life of a platform. These requirements become increasingly important across multiple machine variants and international deployments. Kyptec Automation® is developing its portfolio and technical information around these practical requirements to support new machine development and repeat industrial procurement.

The company also sees technical information as an important part of product selection. Machine vision engineers increasingly research component compatibility through search engines, technical documentation, and artificial intelligence based discovery tools before contacting a supplier. Clear information about focal length, sensor format, optical resolution, cable interface, connector type, bandwidth, and compatibility can improve engineering decisions before procurement begins. Kyptec Automation® is expanding its digital technical presence so specialized machine vision information is easier for OEM teams and system integrators to discover, understand, and apply.

The company describes its philosophy as “Designed in India, Engineered for the World,” reflecting an ambition to build internationally relevant industrial technology from India. With products supplied across more than 100 countries, Kyptec Automation® is strengthening the relationship between its brand and the core technologies of machine vision, industrial imaging, precision optics, camera connectivity, and intelligent automation. Its expanding portfolio supports deeper specialization within high resolution optics, Line Scan imaging, SWIR imaging, GigE connectivity, Camera Link connectivity, M12 industrial Ethernet, and industrial USB camera communication.

As manufacturing systems move toward higher imaging resolution, faster acquisition, greater automation intelligence, and more connected production architectures, Kyptec Automation® plans to continue building technical depth across the components that make reliable machine vision possible. By combining precision optics, specialized imaging technologies, industrial camera connectivity, international supply reach, technical information, and an OEM focused engineering strategy, the company is strengthening its position as an Indian machine vision and industrial automation brand designed to support the next generation of industrial imaging systems worldwide.

Your Best Days Begin Now.

Today, people are looking for answers to many of life’s important questions—whether it’s about their career, relationships, marriage, finances, health, or personal growth. In this changing world, astrology is no longer seen only as a way to predict the future. For many, it has become a tool to better understand themselves, identify the challenges they may be facing, and find a clearer direction in life. At AstroPatra, the belief is that simply telling someone what may happen is not enough.

But understanding the problem is only the first step. The real question is—what should you do next, and how do you find the right way forward? This thought lies at the heart of AstroPatra’s Three-Layered & Three-Tiered Approach. The approach has been designed to make guidance more accessible while bringing together different perspectives, practical remedial guidance, and personal support for every individual.

The AstroPatra X Factor

The X Factor of AstroPatra lies in bringing different dimensions of guidance together rather than looking at an individual’s concerns through only one lens.

The three layers of the AstroPatra approach are:

1. Pocket-Friendly Readings & Remedial Guidance
2. Three-Tiered Reading
3. Astro Counselling

Each layer has its own role, but together they are meant to help people move from confusion and uncertainty towards better clarity and a more positive direction in life.

Layer One: Pocket-Friendly Astrological Guidance

Astrological guidance should not be something that only a few people can access because of the cost. At AstroPatra, the aim is to make consultations more pocket-friendly, along with practical remedial guidance for those who are genuinely looking for answers and support.

Whether someone is dealing with questions related to their career, relationship, marriage, finances, health or personal growth, the focus is on understanding their individual situation and offering guidance that is meaningful and relevant to them.

For AstroPatra, affordability is about making guidance accessible—while keeping the focus on meaningful consultation.

Layer Two: The Three-Tiered Reading

This is one of the most distinctive elements of the AstroPatra approach.

Instead of depending on a single method, AstroPatra brings together three different reading systems in one consultation:

Kundali Chart Reading

The Kundali provides the astrological foundation of the reading. It can be examined to understand planetary placements, houses, strengths, challenges and various patterns reflected in a person’s birth chart.

Numerological Grid Reading

The second tier brings numerology into the consultation. The numerological grid can offer another perspective on inherent tendencies, strengths, challenges and behavioural patterns.

Tarot Reading

The third tier uses Tarot to provide an additional perspective on a particular situation, question or area of concern.

Three Tiers. Multiple Perspectives.

“Kundali + Numerological Grid + Tarot”

By combining these three systems, AstroPatra looks at a person’s concerns from different angles, rather than relying on just one approach. The purpose is not to fill someone’s mind with predictions, but to help them understand what they are going through, get some clarity, and decide how they want to move ahead.

Layer Three: Astro Counselling

AstroPatra believes that behind every kundali is a real person with their own experiences, struggles and circumstances. Someone may be dealing with career pressure, relationship problems, financial worries, family expectations, or simply feeling unsure about what the future holds. A kundali can offer valuable insights, but knowing what it indicates is only one part of the journey. What matters just as much is understanding those insights and finding the right way to deal with the situation in real life.

This is where Astro Counselling becomes an important part of the AstroPatra approach.

It aims to help individuals understand the challenges and patterns reflected through their readings and approach their circumstances with greater awareness, perspective and direction.

The philosophy is simple:

Prediction should lead to understanding.
Understanding should lead to guidance.
Guidance should lead to growth.

From Prediction to Potential

At the heart of AstroPatra is the purpose of helping people move towards their full potential.

Astrology should not make a person feel powerless about their destiny. Instead of simply trying to predict what lies ahead, astrology can be used to understand yourself better, reflect on your choices, and make more thoughtful decisions.

Even a difficult phase in life can be seen as a time to prepare, learn, and make better choices for what comes next.

 A career obstacle can encourage a person to reassess their direction. Relationship difficulties can offer an opportunity to understand emotional patterns.

AstroPatra’s approach is therefore centred on guidance rather than fear, direction rather than dependency, and growth rather than simply prediction.

The focus is not only on asking:

“What will happen?”

but also:

“What can I understand, and what can I do moving forward?”

The Vision Behind AstroPatra

AstroPatra is the dream project of Seepi Jha, a renowned Bollywood lyricist-singer, envisioned with the aim of bringing together traditional occult sciences and a more accessible, personalized and human approach to guidance.

AstroPatra’s wider range of services includes Astrology, Numerology, Tarot, Vastu, Face reading, Palmistry, Numerology-based name correction and other specialized guidance.

But beyond individual services, the larger vision is to help people understand themselves better, navigate challenging phases and find a direction that supports their personal growth.

What Makes AstroPatra Different?

The difference is not simply in offering astrology, numerology or Tarot individually. It is in how these elements are brought together as part of a larger guidance approach.

Pocket-friendly readings make consultation more accessible.

The three-tiered reading brings together Kundali Chart Reading, Numerological Grid Reading and Tarot, allowing a person’s situation to be looked at from different perspectives. But AstroPatra’s approach is not limited to what is written in a chart. It also takes into account the person, their circumstances and the challenges they may be dealing with in everyday life. The remedial guidance then focuses on practical and constructive ways to help them deal with those challenges and move forward with greater clarity. Ultimately, AstroPatra is built around one simple purpose:

To help people understand where they are, find the right direction and move towards what they are capable of becoming.

Three layers. Three tiers. Three perspectives. One purpose—to guide, empower and help people grow towards their full potential.

Your Best Days Begin Now.

New Delhi [India], September 12: International holidays bring excitement, but the days before departure can become crowded with bookings, documents, packing and last-minute checks. HDFC ERGO encourages travellers to treat insurance preparation as part of the travel routine rather than an afterthought.

A brief review before leaving can help you understand your policy, organise key documents and know where to find assistance if plans are disrupted. This practical checklist focuses on practical steps that can make an international journey feel more prepared from the start.

Check Your HDFC ERGO Travel Insurance Policy

Before leaving, check whether your HDFC ERGO travel insurance policy reflects the trip you are actually taking. Confirm the traveller names, destinations, travel dates and other details shown in the policy schedule.

Save the issued policy in a secure travel folder that you can access easily during the journey. Reading the schedule together with the policy wording can also help you understand the selected benefits, applicable limits and important conditions before your holiday begins.

Review Your Coverage before You Travel

Coverage is easier to understand when you connect it with the way you plan to travel. Review the benefits that may be relevant to medical situations, baggage concerns and journey disruptions, along with the conditions that apply.

For an international holiday, a travel insurance India policy should match the destinations and duration mentioned in your final itinerary. Read the policy wording carefully to understand the benefits, applicable limits and important conditions, and keep a copy accessible throughout the trip.

Keep Policy and Travel Documents Handy

Keeping travel documents organised can save time when you are moving between airports, hotels and different cities. Store your HDFC ERGO policy, passport copy, visa, tickets and accommodation confirmations together in a secure digital folder, with essential copies available offline where practical.

It is sensible to keep important policy details separate from checked baggage. When travelling with family or a companion, sharing access to essential information can make it easier to retrieve documents if you need support during the trip.

Understand Medical Emergency Protection

A medical emergency abroad can feel difficult when local healthcare systems and procedures are unfamiliar. Before departure, read how your HDFC ERGO policy addresses eligible emergency medical expenses and understand the steps for seeking assistance. Keep contact details accessible and carry medical information with you, particularly when regular medicines are part of your routine.

If treatment becomes necessary, retaining medical reports, prescriptions, bills and related records can support communication and any claim process, subject to applicable policy terms and conditions.

Check Coverage for Baggage Issues

Baggage issues can interrupt a planned holiday, so it helps to know what your policy says before you travel. Review the HDFC ERGO section dealing with checked baggage and personal belongings, and keep baggage tags and boarding passes until the journey is complete.

If baggage is delayed or lost, obtain written confirmation from the airline and retain supporting records that may be required for a claim. Keeping these documents together can make the next steps easier to understand and manage.

Prepare for Flight Delays and Cancellations

Flight delays or cancellations can affect airport transfers, hotel check-ins, onward connections and planned activities. Before travelling, review whether your HDFC ERGO policy includes benefits for eligible flight-related disruptions and understand the conditions that apply. If a schedule changes, keep airline notifications, revised itineraries and receipts for relevant expenses.

These records may be useful if you need to submit a claim later. Keeping travel updates together helps you maintain a clear record of how the disruption affected your planned journey.

Save HDFC ERGO Emergency Assistance Details

Emergency assistance details should be easy to find, especially when you are travelling across time zones or moving between destinations. Save the assistance contact information provided with your HDFC ERGO policy in your phone and travel folder, and keep an offline copy as backup. Store your policy number with those details so it is available when required.

A travel companion can keep a copy where appropriate, helping ensure that important information remains accessible if you need assistance during the trip.

Complete Your Final Pre-Departure Check

The final pre-departure check should bring your travel preparation together without adding unnecessary complexity. Confirm that names, destinations and dates are consistent across your HDFC ERGO policy and booking records. Make sure your passport, visa, tickets, accommodation details and emergency contacts are available on the device you will carry.

Keep essential backups in a separate secure place, and review any destination-specific travel requirements before leaving. A few organised checks can help you begin the journey with greater clarity and confidence.

Conclusion

International travel feels easier when preparation is completed before the airport rush begins. Reviewing your HDFC ERGO travel insurance policy, keeping documents accessible and understanding how to seek assistance can make you better prepared for unexpected situations during the trip. The aim is simple: know what your policy contains, keep useful records and have contact details within reach. With these checks completed before departure, travellers can focus more comfortably on the experiences and places that made the holiday worth planning.

Gandhinagar (Gujarat) [India], September 11: Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, was the Chief Guest at the India Ship Leasing and Financing Summit, organised by the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW), at the GIFT City Club, Gandhinagar, today.

• GIFT City Emerges as the Enabling Platform for India’s Maritime Finance Ambitions
• Sonowal Addressed the India Ship Leasing and Financing Summit at the IFSC in GIFT City

The summit brought together policymakers, ship owners, lessors, charterers, financiers and maritime stakeholders to deliberate on India’s push to build a comprehensive ship ownership, leasing and financing ecosystem, with GIFT City positioned as the platform enabling this ambition. The Minister also unveiled the brochure of the National Maritime Games 2027, to be held at Ganpat University, Gujarat, under the aegis of MoPSW.

Addressing the gathering, Sonowal invoked India’s maritime legacy, tracing it to the Indus Valley Civilization and the ancient port of Lothal in Gujarat. “This gathering marks a significant milestone in our collective journey to position India, and particularly GIFT City, as a global maritime hub for a comprehensive maritime value chain ecosystem — encompassing ship leasing, owning, financing, insurance, brokering and other ancillary services,” Sonowal said.

The Minister pointed to India’s growing fleet footprint, with 38 ship lessors now registered and collectively leasing 43 vessels, taking total leasing capacity past 2.99 million DWT, of which 24 vessels now fly the Indian flag. He added that 41 domestic and international banks have set up in the IFSC, extending close to USD 60.1 million in funding to ship leasing entities, with DGMA’s first regional office opening in GIFT City set to further strengthen this ecosystem for shipowners and operators.

Sonowal outlined key reforms enabling Indian shipping to compete globally, including exemption from licensing requirements under the Coastal Shipping Act, 2025, for foreign vessels on charter, and permission for GIFT IFSC-based shipping companies to own foreign-flag vessels. On the latter, Sonowal said, “More fundamentally, it marks a shift in how we count our fleet — from tonnage that flies our flag to tonnage that we own and control.PM Narendra Modi ji’s dynamic leadership has carried GIFT City from thought to fruition, and it is now poised to be the launchpad for India’s next wave of maritime growth”

The Union Minister further cited Modi government’s financial commitments to the sector, including the ₹25,000 crore Maritime Development Fund expected to catalyse investments of up to ₹1.5 lakh crore by 2030, and the Shipbuilding Financial Assistance Scheme (SBFAS) 2.0, with a revised outlay of ₹24,736 crore extended to 2036 — both aimed at strengthening Indian shipyards and vessel ownership.

The Union Minister attributed this momentum to the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referencing the Maritime India Vision (MIV) 2030 and Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision (MAKV) 2047 as roadmaps to expand India’s fleet, boost port capacity and coastal shipping, and place India among the top five global shipbuilding nations. He also cited India’s emergence as the world’s largest ship recycling nation, its share of global tonnage rising from 30.1% in 2024 to 35.4% in 2025.

Vijay Kumar, Secretary, MoPSW; K. Rajaraman, Chairperson, IFSCA; and Hareet Shukla, Principal Secretary, Ports & Transport, Government of Gujarat, were also present.

Now in full colour, and back with the sequel — the series proving that screens and heritage don’t have to compete

New Delhi [India], September 11: Ask any parent what it’s like competing with a phone screen for their child’s attention, and they’ll tell you it’s one of the great puzzles of raising kids today. It’s exactly this puzzle that the Shanti and Amani series — written by Yesha Gambhir Mirza, illustrated by Priyanka Pachpande and published by Simon & Schuster India — has set out to solve, and readers, educators and child-welfare voices alike are responding.

When Zafrin Chowdhury, Chief of Communication, Advocacy & Partnership at UNICEF India, says that series opener Secret of the Pickled Dream “…delivers a timeless truth: life’s most meaningful treasures are learned, lived, and shared, not bought,” she is speaking to exactly what has made the book a runaway favourite — and propelled it to #1 bestseller status.

Archana Pandey, Principal of The Vivekananda School, agrees that the book does more than entertain. As she puts it, “…the story serves as both a mirror and a guide — helping young readers develop emotional sensitivity…” Meetu Rathore, Principal of Army Public School, sees a similar significance in the series’ place on young readers’ shelves, noting that “characters like Shanti and Amani occupy a vital space in children’s literature, helping young readers explore cultural values…”

For Gurleena Sikka, Senior School English Teacher at Delhi Public School, the series’ real achievement is the bridge it builds across generations: “…the book offers young readers a bridge between heritage and modernity.” Emine Sharma, Senior Elementary Teacher and Author at the American Embassy School, puts it even more simply: “Finally, a book for the youth that passes down tradition.” The praise has travelled well beyond the classroom, too — celebrity chef Ranveer Brar, known for championing India’s food heritage, recently shared Secret of the Pickled Dream with his followers on Instagram, spotlighting the book’s mango-achaar-making tradition as exactly the kind of everyday heritage worth celebrating and passing on.

It is this chorus of praise, from child-welfare advocates to educators to a celebrated chef, that has helped carry Secret of the Pickled Dream to #1 bestseller status — and Simon & Schuster India is marking that success with a series of exciting updates. The book is now available in a completely reimagined third edition — transformed from its original black-and-white illustrations into a rich, full-colour edition — and the celebrations continue with the release of the second book in the series, My Birthday Wish, which is officially out now.

A #1 Bestseller, Reborn in Colour

First published in 2025, Secret of the Pickled Dream introduces eleven-year-old Amani, whose obsession with unboxing videos and shopping hauls is upended when her late great-grandmother, Bebe Shanti, appears to her in a dream. Through an old family recipe for mango achaar (pickle), Bebe teaches Amani that the truest treasures — love, patience and vand-chhakna, the joy of sharing — are the ones you cannot buy from an app.

The book’s message has resonated widely with readers, propelling it to #1 bestseller status. Marking this success, Simon & Schuster India has released a brand-new third edition of Secret of the Pickled Dream, upgrading the book’s illustrations from black-and-white to a warm, full-colour treatment that brings Bebe Shanti’s kitchen, Amani’s world and the story’s gentle magic to life on every page.

Out Now: My Birthday Wish

In My Birthday Wish, the newly released second instalment of the series, Amani is back — a little older, a little more herself, and still delightfully dramatic. All she wants for her birthday is a dog. What she gets instead is Mithu, a sassy talking parrot with the extraordinary gift of inherited memory, who pulls her into a moving journey of empathy and action.

As Amani travels through Mithu’s memories, she comes face to face with a truth much closer to home than she expected: Pinki, the daughter of her family’s longtime household help, is being pushed toward an early marriage instead of the nursing career she has worked so hard for. What begins as a wish for a pet turns into Amani’s first real experience of standing up for someone else — using nothing more than her voice, her phone and the courage Bebe Shanti has been quietly teaching her all along.

My Birthday Wish weaves together themes of gratitude, privilege, girls’ education and the freedom to dream, alongside Amani’s continuing adventures with Heritage Haulers, the social media account she runs with her best friend to blend family tradition with modern content creation. It is, at its heart, a story about growing from noticing the world to acting in it.

Where Screens Meet Storytelling

What sets the Shanti and Amani series apart is its refusal to treat tradition and modernity as opposites. Amani is unmistakably a child of today — she scrolls, she vlogs, she wants a mixer she saw on Instagram — and yet the emotional truths she learns from Bebe Shanti’s memories are as old as family itself: that belonging is built in shared kitchens and shared stories, that responsibility is a form of love, and that real change often starts with one person choosing to notice and to speak up.

In My Birthday Wish, this digital-native identity is written directly into the story: Amani runs Heritage Haulers, a social media account with her best friend where they turn family traditions into content — proof that the series doesn’t just tolerate a child’s online life, it treats it as a genuine creative outlet, right alongside the wisdom Amani is absorbing from Bebe Shanti.

For parents, that combination is the appeal. By anchoring intergenerational wisdom in the concerns young readers actually live with today — social media, friendship, family expectations and, increasingly, the wider world around them — the series gives children a bridge between their grandparents’ values and their own everyday lives, without asking them to give up either. It’s a rare children’s book that doesn’t feel like it’s fighting the phone for a child’s attention — it feels like it understands it.

“I didn’t want to write a book that competes with my kids’ phones. I wanted to write one that understands why they love them — and shows them something even their favourite app can’t give them: a story that’s actually theirs.”

— Yesha Gambhir Mirza, author (suggested quote — please review and edit before use)

The Miss World competition brings together contestants from many countries, with fashion forming an important part of their public appearances. For designers, the challenge is to create outfits that suit each contestant while also working under stage lights, cameras and long event schedules.

Rajput’s collection for the 73rd edition followed this approach. Instead of using a single design for multiple contestants, her studio worked on individual pieces based on measurements, fittings and the needs of each wearer.

A Second Consecutive Year at Miss World

Rajput’s return to Miss World marks the second year in which her couture has been part of this huge  pageant. Her participation this year included custom outfits  created for contestants during different stages of the competition.

The garments featured hand-applied details, layered fabrics, pearls, Swarovski elements and metallic accents. The designs combined structured sections with softer fabrics to create movement during stage appearances.

The designer’s involvement also extended to the fitting process. Each garment went through trials and adjustments before the final event. This helped the studio account for factors such as body shape, garment length and movement.

Taanusiyaa Chetty Becomes a Key Face of the Designs

One of the most visible collaborations from the competition involved Taanusiyaa Chetty. The contestant wore several custom designs created by Miss Rajput during important Miss World events.

Chetty’s pageant journey ended with several honours. She was named Miss World Asia, finished as 2nd Runner-Up and received recognition for Beauty with a Purpose.

Her appearances in Rajput’s couture brought attention to the designer’s work, particularly during the finale rehearsals and official gala dinner.

The association between the two became one of the notable fashion stories connected with Rajput’s participation in the pageant.

Pink Layered Gown Takes the Stage

During the Grand Finale rehearsals, Chetty appeared in a pink gown featuring multiple frilled layers. The design used fabric in graduated tones, giving the dress a flowing shape as she moved.

The gown was built to create visual movement during a stage walk. Its layered construction added volume without making the outfit appear overly heavy.

The overall styling combined a youthful colour with a formal gown structure. This allowed Chetty to maintain a pageant-ready appearance while keeping the design distinct from more traditional evening gowns.

For stage fashion, movement is as important as the still image. A dress must retain its shape while the contestant walks, turns and poses. The pink gown was designed with this factor in mind.

A Pearl-Finished Look for the Gala Dinner

Chetty also wore a separate Rajput creation at the official Miss World gala dinner. The outfit featured a pearl-covered corset with a handcrafted floral skirt.

The corset used individually placed pearls to create a detailed surface. The floral skirt added volume and a softer finish to the structured upper section.

The combination gave the outfit a strong eveningwear identity. The pearl work also responded well to indoor lighting, making the details visible during photographs and appearances.

The look attracted attention among pageant followers, with several observers comparing its playful styling to the appearance of a Barbie doll.

Couture Work Starts Long Before the Event

Creating pageant couture involves much more than selecting a fabric and preparing a final fitting. Rajput said her Miss World garments were made by master artisans by hand.

The process began with sketches and continued through measurements, construction, embellishment and repeated trials. Rajput said she personally followed details such as stitching, bead placement and structural elements.

This hands-on process allowed the studio to make changes as the garments developed. Such changes can include alterations to the waist, shoulders, length or internal structure of a gown.

The process becomes more demanding when working with contestants from different countries. Each delegate has a different physical profile and personal style. A successful pageant gown must account for both.

Indian Handwork Meets Contemporary Silhouettes

Rajput’s Miss World designs placed traditional hand craftsmanship alongside modern eveningwear shapes. The garments did not depend on one cultural motif. Instead, they used techniques such as hand embellishment and detailed surface work within contemporary silhouettes.

This approach allowed the pieces to fit naturally into an international pageant setting.

Indian couture has a long history of hand embroidery, beadwork and textile craftsmanship. Designers working on global platforms often combine these techniques with silhouettes shaped by international red-carpet and eveningwear trends.

Rajput’s work at Miss World followed that direction, using Indian artisanal methods while keeping the garments suited to a global audience.

Comfort Remains Part of Pageant Styling

Pageant contestants can spend long hours moving between rehearsals, interviews, dinners and public appearances. This makes comfort an important part of couture design.

A heavily embellished gown can become difficult to wear if its construction is not carefully planned. Weight distribution, fabric choice and internal support all affect how a contestant moves.

Rajput’s fitting process focused on these details alongside the appearance of the garments. The goal was to create pieces that allowed contestants to maintain posture and movement throughout their appearances.

For a competition such as Miss World, this balance can affect how a gown performs in photographs and on stage.

Interest From International Contestants

Rajput’s work during the competition also generated interest from other international delegates, according to the designer. Contestants approached her regarding custom outfits for future events.

The proposed occasions included red-carpet appearances, formal dinners and charity functions. These discussions point to the wider role that pageant platforms can play in connecting designers with international clients.

For designers, such relationships can continue after the competition ends. Contestants often take part in fashion events, public appearances and social programmes after their pageant journeys.

A Continuing International Fashion Presence

Prerna Rajput’s second consecutive appearance at Miss World adds another chapter to her work in international pageant fashion. Her designs were seen across several major events during the 73rd edition, with Taanusiyaa Chetty providing one of the most visible examples.

The pink layered gown and pearl corset with floral skirt showed two different sides of her design approach. One focused on movement and youthful styling, while the other used structure, pearls and floral craftsmanship for a formal evening setting.

Her participation also placed Indian hand-crafted couture in front of contestants and audiences from different parts of the world. As international pageants continue to give designers a global stage, Rajput’s latest Miss World appearance reflects the growing connection between Indian couture and international pageant fashion.

Bed on rent in Delhi.

New Delhi [India], September 12: Every other item in a shared flat can be split three ways, but the bed cannot — and in Delhi, that single item is increasingly being rented from ₹263 a month rather than bought for ₹6,990.

India’s urban population is relocating for jobs and other opportunities within 18 years. Most of them live in shared flats, and Delhi’s millennial and Gen Z workforce is not quite different from that of other Indian metro cities. While they choose shared flats, the dreading question of who would move out with the bed eventually comes up. Bed rentals are in increasing demand, and plans start at ₹263/mo, compared to buying a ₹6,990 bed frame. Platforms like Rentomojo are noticing a shift across Laxman Nagar, Mayur Vihar, Dwarka, Janakpuri, and Karol Bagh, where two, three, or four people share a single flat and move out on different dates.

Bed is One Thing the Flatmates Cannot Share

Generally, everything is split three or four ways in a shared flat depending on how many people live together. A sofa, fridge, centre table, or dining table are paid for collectively and argued over at the exit. The bed is an exception. It is bought by one person, used by one person, occupies that person’s room, and cannot be divided. It is likely the largest single item a first-time tenant buys for their own use.

The difference matters because the flat and the people in it move out on different dates. A flat with three tenants in Laxmi Nagar can turn over one occupant while the lease and the other two tenants continue undisturbed. The departing tenant leaves with a bed frame that doesn’t fit anyone else’s room. Plus, there is a mattress nobody else wants, and the arriving tenant needs both on the day of move-in.

How is it Common in Delhi?

The pattern is well observed in Delhi, especially where the flat-sharing culture exists. Mayur Vihar and Laxmi Nagar are commonly found in the middle of the phenomenon. Areas such as Karol Bagh and Patel Nagar in the centre, Janakpuri and Dwarka in the west, and Munirka and Ber Sarai around South Delhi cannot be ignored. These neighbourhoods usually have a 2BHK occupied by unrelated tenants on indefinite tenures.

The lease cycle usually runs for 11 months. However, what happens after 11 months? If everyone decides to leave the flat after rent revision, the individual is committed to nothing beyond the notice period.

What Does a Bed Cost to Buy, Move, or Resell?

IKEA India lists the SLATTUM upholstered single bed frame at ₹6,990, the VIHALS frame with a trundle bed at ₹16,990 and the SLÄKT frame with underbed storage at ₹24,980, before a mattress is added. However, the purchase price of a bed in an unorganised market is difficult to pinpoint.

The bed frame is the least portable item in the flat. Once assembled in the bedroom, it must be dismantled before each relocation. Engineered-board frames lose structural integrity each time they are taken apart.

Slats, cam locks, and centre rails are replaced, incurring out-of-pocket expenses – if the warranty is over. The mattress also runs on a shorter replacement cycle than the frame beneath it. Resale is the weakest line of all: a used bed frame must be dismantled, carried down and matched to a buyer who wants that exact size.

What Bed Rental Plans in Delhi Include

Beds for rent in Delhi are available in different sizes, including single, single XL, compact queen, queen, and king. The minimum tenure is three months, and plans extend to 36 months, which brackets both a probation-period stay and a three-year posting, and the monthly rate falls as tenure lengthens.

Mattresses are selected separately from the frame and listed as a distinct category. Coir and spring, ortho and latex options are available in Delhi, which matters in shared flats where an incoming tenant may inherit a frame from the previous occupant and need only the mattress. Relocation is covered within and outside Delhi, so a plan taken in Janakpuri does not end when the subscriber moves to Gurgaon or Pune.

How the Rental Segment is Structured

Other platforms in the segment, including Furlenco, Cityfurnish and Rentickle, operate comparable furniture rental catalogues in Delhi, with pricing, configuration and tenure structures varying by product and market.

Deposit terms, minimum tenures, and whether relocation and servicing fall within the monthly rate or outside it differ between platforms and are typically the terms compared alongside the headline monthly figure. Rentomojo Limited, which rents furniture and home appliances on monthly subscriptions, filed a DRHP in March 2026 for a listing on the BSE and NSE, and reported more than 227,500 live subscribers across 27+ cities as of 30 August 2026.

Final Thoughts

Furnishing has historically been priced as a household decision, made once and settled by whoever paid for it. A shared flat is not a single economic unit, and the bed is where that shows up on the bill. In housing markets where a lease binds a flat but not the people inside it, the bed is the point at which furnishing stops being a household decision and becomes an individual one, which makes its useful tenure the length of one occupant’s stay rather than the working life of the frame.

A Celebration of Fashion, Talent, Dreams and Purpose

The runway witnessed an impressive lineup of celebrity showstoppers, including Anupama Rai Chauhan, Paakhi Sinha, Megha Jadhav, Dr. Kavya V.S., Suchismita Das, Judy Kumar, Dr. Priyanka Prajapati, Seema Agarwal, Neetu Agarwal, Sriti Shaw, Madhurima Tuli and Ashnoor Kaur, who added glamour, confidence and charisma to the evening.

Dr. Priyanka Prajapati: From Doctor’s Coat to the Runway

One of the most inspiring highlights of the evening was Dr. Priyanka Prajapati, whose appearance on the One Day Fashion Show runway represented much more than a fashion moment. Her journey from medicine and community healthcare to pageantry and the fashion runway is a story of ambition, courage and the belief that dreams should never have an expiry date.

A doctor, pathologist, wife, mother and pageant titleholder, Dr. Priyanka has consistently embraced challenges and pursued her goals alongside her professional and family responsibilities.

She pursued her MBBS from Crimea State Medical University, Simferopol, Russia, where she distinguished herself academically, cleared Olympiads in several subjects and successfully passed the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) in her first attempt. She later completed her MD in Pathology from NSCB Medical College, Jabalpur and went on to work as teaching faculty at BM Government Medical College, Shahdol, while actively participating in research and medical education.

Her professional journey has been closely connected with Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh, where she chose to contribute to healthcare in a tribal region where medical resources can be limited. Along with her husband, Dr. Vimal Prajapati, MD Medicine, she runs a clinic and diagnostic laboratory, working towards providing quality healthcare and diagnostic services to the community.

Dr. Priyanka has a special interest in cancer diagnosis and cancer awareness, with a strong focus on the importance of early detection. She has also served as a Consultant Pathologist at Amrita Hospital, contributing to the delivery of quality healthcare.

While medicine remained her profession, another dream continued to inspire her—the dream of participating in a beauty pageant.

With determination, she stepped beyond her comfort zone and participated in Tiska Mrs India 2026, where she was crowned Gold Category, Second Runner-Up.

Her pageant journey soon opened the door to another dream when she walked the runway at One Day Fashion Show Season 3 as a showstopper for Archana Kochhar, sharing the stage with celebrity showstopper Ashnoor Kaur. The show was opened by Sriti Shaw, actress, entrepreneur and Tiska Miss India 2021.

For Dr. Priyanka, the runway was not simply about fashion. It represented the courage to create space for another dream while continuing to fulfil her responsibilities as a doctor, wife and mother.

Her story reflects the very spirit of One Day Fashion Show—providing a platform where women can explore new possibilities, embrace their individuality and step confidently beyond the boundaries of their conventional identities.

A Runway Celebrating Indian Fashion

Beyond the inspiring story of Dr. Priyanka Prajapati, One Day Fashion Show Season 3 brought together a powerful mix of established designers, emerging creative voices, models and celebrities.

The event celebrated the diversity and evolution of Indian fashion by bringing together traditional craftsmanship, contemporary design and modern runway aesthetics. Each presentation added a distinctive visual identity to the showcase, making the evening a dynamic celebration of creativity and individuality.

The event was attended by prominent personalities including Sanjay Berry, Srishti Sehgal, Chetan Sachdeva, Naman Suri, Swagat Ranjan and Dr. Vimal Prajapati Mr Yogesh Goel, Amit Raj Singh and Mr Manish Agarwal

With its impressive Designer lineups, celebrity presence and powerful stories of women like Dr. Priyanka Prajapati, One Day Fashion Show – Season 3 emerged as more than a fashion showcase. It became a celebration of talent, ambition, individuality and the courage to pursue dreams at every stage of life.

Dr. Priyanka’s journey—from the classroom to medical college, from the microscope to the pageant stage, and from the doctor’s coat to the runway—beautifully captured the message that dreams do not have an expiry date.

The evening concluded as a memorable celebration of Indian fashion and the ever-evolving spirit of women who continue to dream, achieve and redefine what is possible.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 12: A Vistas Media Company, Golden Ratio Films draws on an acclaimed body of work across Hindi, Marathi, Tamil and Hollywood as Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Ghamasaan premiered on ZEE5 and the content company advances an ambitious new slate. 

Golden Ratio Films (GRF), a Vistas Media Company, is entering its next phase of growth with an expanding slate of films and entertainment properties across languages, genres and markets.

At the centre of this new chapter is Ghamasaan, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia and starring Arshad Warsi, Pratik Gandhi,  Ishita Dutta, and Rajpal Yadav that premiered exclusively on ZEE5 on September 11. Set against the rugged heartland of Bundelkhand, the film explores power, loyalty, fear and survival through a deeply rooted and intense narrative, something that the industry has craved for a while.

Abhayanand Singh, Group CEO, says, “At Golden Ratio Films, we remain focused on building a slate defined by distinctive storytelling, strong creative partnerships and enduring audience value. Ghamasaan reflects that ambition, and we are delighted to collaborate with Jio Studios on bringing this powerful story to audiences. We thank the entire Jio Studios team for their trust, support and shared belief in the film.”

For GRF, Ghamasaan continues a filmmaking philosophy built around backing distinctive voices, strong performances and stories capable of travelling across audiences and markets. Over the years, Golden Ratio Films has built a diverse portfolio across productions, co-productions and releases. Its Hindi slate includes Bhonsle, JL50, Nakkash, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli and Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyun Aata Hai? Its Hollywood work includes The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir, featuring Dhanush in his first international film, the road-horror thriller Son, and The Featherweight, associated with Hollywood’s Appian Way, the makers of The Wolf of Wall Street, The Aviator and The Revenant. 

In Marathi cinema, GRF has been associated with AB Aani CD, Chandramukhi and the National Award-winning Paithani and In Tamil, it has collaborated with Pa. Ranjith on Writer and J.Baby. This body of work reflects GRF’s broader ambition to operate across languages and markets while continuing to back strong creative voices and culturally distinctive storytelling.

Piiyush Singh, Group COO and Global Creative Head, adds, “The films that endure are often the ones that combine a strong cinematic voice with an emotional truth audiences can immediately recognise. Ghamasaan has that rare quality. It is rooted, intense and uncompromising in its world, yet universal in the human conflicts it explores. With a filmmaker of this calibre and performances of such conviction, we believe this is a world that can stay with audiences well beyond this film — and potentially has much more to reveal.”

Even as Ghamasaan reaches audiences, Golden Ratio Films is advancing a wider slate of projects across development, pre-production and production, spanning Hindi and regional cinema, premium streaming content and international collaborations. The focus is increasingly on building ownable intellectual property, working with leading and emerging filmmakers, and creating stories that can move across theatrical, streaming and international markets.

Saurabh Gupta, Group Chief Investment and Finance Officer added  “The next era of entertainment won’t be built by content alone. It will belong to companies that can turn powerful stories into enduring IP — combining creativity, technology, partnerships and disciplined execution to travel across platforms, markets and generations.”

As Indian stories continue to travel beyond linguistic and geographic boundaries, Golden Ratio Films is positioning itself as a next-generation content company — rooted in Indian storytelling, connected to global creative and financial ecosystems, and focused on building IP with long-term value.

From Bhonsle to Ghamasaan, and from regional cinema to Hollywood, the company’s journey has been defined by range, experimentation and ambition. With Ghamasaan successfully premiered on ZEE5, Golden Ratio Films now looks ahead to a significantly larger slate and to the next phase of its evolution as a multi-language, multi-market, high on content production house across all formats – backed by Vistas Media Group.

Long-term fleet commitments across electric buses, trucks and cars to underpin 1000 new supercharging stations.

Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], September 10: CHARGEZONE, one of India’s fastest-growing EV supercharging networks, today announced that it has secured long-term energy contracts for EV charging with a cumulative value of more than USD 1 billion (approx INR 10,500 crore) across intercity electric buses, trucks and commercial car fleets. The contracted demand will underpin the next phase of CHARGEZONE’s supercharging expansion, with the company planning to deploy 1000 new stations across the key national highway corridors.

Across these contracted fleets, CHARGEZONE expects the new EV charging stations to support more than 15,000 EVs on a daily basis. Their predictable routes, higher charging frequency and recurring energy requirements across these segments give the company greater visibility into where and how much charging capacity will be required before infrastructure is deployed.

Kartikey Hariyani, Founder & CEO, CHARGEZONE, said, “India’s EV charging market is entering a phase where scale will be measured not only by how many chargers are deployed, but by how much energy is delivered and sold through them and how consistently those assets are utilised. With long-term demand contracted across buses, trucks and fleets, we can build new capacity against visible energy consumption rather than wait for demand to emerge after deployment. That improves the economics of every station and creates a stronger foundation for bringing long-term capital into charging infrastructure at scale.”

Manish Madhogaria, Chief Financial Officer, CHARGEZONE, said, “EV charging is a capital-intensive infrastructure business, so the quality and visibility of demand behind every asset becomes critical as the network scales. These long-term contracts give us greater visibility into future energy revenues and allow us to deploy capital more selectively against infrastructure with a clearer demand profile. As we raise the next pool of capital, our focus will be on building the right mix of debt and equity to fund this expansion while maintaining capital discipline.”

To support this expansion, CHARGEZONE has additionally secured USD 25 million (INR 250 crore) through Indian banks in debt financing and plans to raise an additional USD 100 million during 2026-2027. The capital will be deployed towards new supercharging stations, micro-grid infrastructure, energy-management technology and the broader expansion of the network. The long-term fleet contracts provide greater visibility on future energy demand and utilisation, strengthening the investment case for new charging assets.

The expansion will add 180 MW of charging capacity taking CHARGEZONE’s cumulative network capacity from the current 120 MW to 300 MW. At full deployment, the company expects to deliver approximately 700 GWh of energy annually, support more than 15000 charging sessions per day, and operate at an average network utilisation of approximately 30%, up from CHARGEZONE’s current utilisation of 14%.

Unlike network expansion based primarily on projected EV traffic, CHARGEZONE’s next phase of deployment is being anchored in long-term fleet demand. Commercial fleets such as buses and trucks operate on more predictable routes and consume significantly more energy per vehicle, giving CHARGEZONE clearer visibility into expected throughput at a station before capital is deployed. This demand-backed approach is designed to improve utilisation and strengthen the economics of each new charging asset.

As part of the expansion, CHARGEZONE continues to integrate renewable energy sources, including solar power generation and battery energy storage systems (BESS), across its high-speed charging infrastructure to increase the share of renewable energy used for charging, manage peak power requirements and strengthen site-level energy resilience.

About CHARGEZONE

CHARGEZONE is India’s largest and most reliable public EV charging network, supporting the transition to electric mobility across passenger and commercial vehicle segments. With over 15,000 charging points across 1,200+ locations in India and the UAE. The company partners with leading automotive OEMs including Tata.ev, Hyundai, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and VinFast to deliver seamless, reliable charging infrastructure for India’s growing EV ecosystem.

CHARGEZONE’s technology platform, including ChargeCloud and AutoCharge, powers real-time network management, interoperable charging, and a frictionless user experience across its nationwide network.

New Delhi [India], September 10: While applying for a personal loan, borrowers focus on the loan amount, repayment tenure and EMI. But the most important factor that determines your total borrowing cost is the interest rate. The interest rate determines how much EMI you are going to pay and for how many years.

Majorly, lenders offer two types of interest rates on personal loans: fixed and floating interest rates. Both are different, and understanding them can help you make a better borrowing decision. In this blog, you will get complete knowledge about both fixed and floating interest rates.

What is a Fixed Interest Rate?

A fixed interest rate means the interest rate will remain the same throughout the loan tenure. It won’t change. This means the interest rate, which is mentioned at the time of signing the loan agreement, will remain the same no matter what happens in the economy.

The borrower here will pay the fixed EMI throughout the loan tenure, as there are no changes in the rate due to market conditions. As the EMI remains unchanged, borrowers can plan their monthly budget more efficiently. The fixed interest rate is generally higher in the initial years.

Benefits of Fixed Interest Rates

● EMI remains the same throughout the tenure. This provides you with clarity on monthly payments.

● Borrower knows exactly what they have to pay each month. Hence, they can do proper planning accordingly.

● If the market interest rate increases due to economic conditions or due to RBI decisions, then borrowers remain protected as the loan interest rate won’t change.

Limitations of Fixed Interest Rates

● You don’t get any advantage from the decline in market rates.

● The interest rate will be slightly higher in the initial years.

● Some lenders may have restrictions on switching to another interest structure.

What is a Floating Interest Rate?

In a personal loan, the floating interest rate means the interest rate that fluctuates or changes during the loan tenure. The rate is not fixed and is linked to a benchmark rate set by the lender. Benchmark rate can be the repo rate set by the RBI. The loan interest rate can increase or decrease with changes in the benchmark rate and economic factors.

For example, if the RBI increases the repo rate, the bank will often increase its lending rate; as a result, the floating rate will go up. Whereas if the RBI reduces the Repo rate, then your floating rate also reduces.

Benefits of Floating Interest Rates

● If the market rate reduces, then your interest rate will also reduce. This will reduce monthly payments and save a lot of money.

● The floating rate starts at a lower interest rate in the initial years.

● Lower interest rates can reduce the overall repayment amount.

Limitations of Floating Interest Rates

● Monthly EMI can increase if the market rate rises.

● With a change in EMIs, budgeting becomes tough.

● Total loan cost can increase if the market rate increases.

Difference Between Fixed and Floating Interest Rates

By a proper understanding of the difference between fixed and floating interest rates, one can choose the option that suits them more. Here is the table that depicts the difference between fixed and floating interest rates: –

Which Option is Better for You?

What to choose between fixed and floating interest rates for personal loans depends on your financial condition.

A fixed interest can be suitable if: –

● You want fixed EMIs.

● You have a fixed monthly income.

● You want certainty in financial planning.

● The market trend represents a rise in interest rates.

A floating rate may be suitable if: –

● You can manage change in EMIs

● You are willing to take risks to save money.

● The market trends represent a fall in interest rates.

● You are comfortable with some uncertainty.

Conclusion

Having a clear understanding of fixed and floating interest rates for personal loans is important for borrowers. This is because it affects the loan repayment journey and total repayment cost. A fixed interest rate remains unchanged throughout the tenure, whereas a floating interest rate can fluctuate over time.

Both options have their own benefits and limitations. You shall select the one that suits your financial condition and risk appetite. Borrowers who want stability opt for a fixed interest rate. Whereas those who are comfortable with market fluctuations and want savings go for floating interest rates.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], September 10:  AI and data science upskilling platform Learnbay has revamped and restructured its GenAI-integrated syllabus around real enterprise use cases, positioning tech professionals for the fast-growing Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) and AI-first roles that hiring in 2026 increasingly centres on. The restructured curriculum applies to all programs starting August 2026.

The changes are driven by notable shifts in technology hiring in India. The Naukri JobSpeak Index for July 2026 shows a 33% year-on-year increase in AI and ML job roles, making it the fastest-growing segment in the market. Additionally, Live Data Technologies reports 1165% YoY growth in FDE job roles in 2026. According to a Deloitte-NASSCOM study, India’s demand for AI talent is forecast to almost double, rising from 650,000 to over 1.25 million between 2022 and 2027, as the AI market expands at 25–35% annually, outpacing skilled labour growth.

What changed between 2023 and 2026

The main changes from 2023 to 2026 can be illustrated by comparing what an AI or Data Science curriculum included three years ago with what modern enterprises currently incorporate.

“Since 2026, our perspective has evolved. We now see the model not as the final solution but as part of a broader, integrated system.”, says Abhishek Gupta, CBO. This system includes a data retrieval setup utilizing proprietary data, an orchestration layer that intelligently chooses the right tool or model for each task, an evaluation layer that quickly identifies regressions, resilient monitoring that withstands user interactions, and a governance process that ensures approval and compliance with standards.

These are indeed engineering and operational challenges, highlighting the valuable skills that hiring managers truly seek. As a result, even a highly talented machine learning candidate might still find it challenging to land an AI position, since interviews tend to emphasize system understanding.

The expectation now extends beyond data science teams.

This issue is not limited to a single job role.

Software engineers integrate AI, balancing latency, cost, and fallback. Cloud and platform engineers support inference and deployment, which have different scale needs than traditional services. QA tests probabilistic systems, often invalidating test designs. Analysts and ops professionals assess automation boundaries.

Overall, it’s inspiring to see professionals from diverse career backgrounds embrace new roles that now require AI skills, even if those skills weren’t part of their original job descriptions. Many are making these transitions mid-career, often with a spontaneous or flexible spirit that reflects their adaptability and openness to growth.

An overview of the curriculum restructuring process.

Learnbay offers dedicated Generative AI and Agentic AI programs, now expanded to meet evolving industry needs.

The updated curriculum preserves core topics, including Python, SQL, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Cloud. Learnbay considers these technologies relevant and essential throughout the program. Debugging a retrieval pipeline that produces incorrect results is primarily a data issue, not a model issue, and professionals without these fundamentals often remain at the tool-operating level.

Building on the foundation, learners advance into enterprise AI engineering.

• Generative AI application development
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), including production retrieval design
• AI agent development and multi-agent coordination
• Large Language Model orchestration
• Evaluation and testing frameworks for non-deterministic systems
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent interoperability
• LLMOps, deployment and monitoring
• AI governance and responsible AI

The practical elements of the new curriculum pose challenges with LangChain, LangGraph, Crew AI, and the Hugging Face ecosystem. It also includes 40 hours of focused Agentic AI training across four terms and more than 30 applied projects based on business scenarios.

“Ravi Pradhan, COO at Learnbay, explained, “Most professionals do not need another stand-alone generative AI course. Instead, they gain more value by understanding how the model works within their system, who reviews its output, and how to respond if issues arise. Our programs are designed to meet this need, seamlessly integrating AI rather than treating it as an afterthought.”

New AI Co-Lab: Focus on Live Problems Instead of Posited Exercises

AI Co-Lab significantly enhances the curriculum by offering learners the opportunity to tackle real-world, live problem statements from startups, rather than just practicing with pre-designed classroom exercises. Additionally, learners can bring in current problems from their own work.

From an external perspective, it might seem like a small difference, but it’s actually quite meaningful. Pre-designed exercises come with a clean dataset, a clearly defined problem, and a known correct answer, making them straightforward. By contrast, live problems are more complex-they can involve ambiguity, unclear scope, unresearched work-related data, and a client whose goals and needs only become apparent through effort. During mid-career interviews, the focus often shifts to constraints and trade-offs in design choices, whereas classroom projects tend to emphasize the design process itself.

In addition, those who complete the track receive dual certification.

Extending the approach into software engineering

Learnbay has also offered similar opportunities for professionals in both the software development and analytics tracks, making it easier for everyone to find a suitable path.

Learners with backgrounds in software engineering are now being taught how to combine application development with AI and customer-centric solutions to tackle challenges – a skill set closely aligned with the emerging Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) role. Many organizations focus on performance metrics connected to their AI investments. Yet, models usually have limited impact on these metrics. The main influences are the customer’s data, workflow, and risk appetite, which all need to be integrated into the system, which is precisely where FDEs operate: embedded with the client, translating messy real-world constraints into working AI solutions.

There is strong demand for this hybrid profile across consulting, product development, and the Global Capability Centers (GCCs), which together account for a large share of enterprise technology jobs in India.

How the syllabus is determined

Learnbay attributes the rapid course update to an ongoing review process rather than a comprehensive overhaul.

The curriculum is thoughtfully developed through ongoing conversations with engineers and hiring partners, informed by the challenges they encounter in interviews and during onboarding. Rather than simply gathering content, it evolves by discarding outdated material that doesn’t align with current hiring practices, ensuring the core technical skills remain relevant as new content is added.

“Abhishek Gupta, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at Learnbay, shared that hiring partners often provide feedback on what candidates struggled with in the last interview. This valuable input is then integrated into the syllabus, helping to keep the course content relevant. While this feedback isn’t as formal as a market report, he pointed out that it’s more current and detailed enough to serve as practical guidance.”

In addition, participants’ career success depends on several factors, including prior experience, performance during the program, current market conditions, and interview preparation. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support interview preparation and build practical skills. Before enrolling in any program, it’s helpful for prospective participants to review the curriculum, faculty, and projects to ensure the program aligns with their goals.

An accelerated revision of the curriculum across the sector

Learnbay’s revised curriculum aligns with a widespread industry trend, where education providers are now updating their curricula more often and on shorter timelines, demonstrating a flexible and responsive approach.

When assessing programs, working professionals typically pay less attention to course variety, as these are often quite similar across providers. Rather, they focus on the curriculum’s depth and how effectively learners are supported in engaging with meaningful, high-quality professional tasks. They also evaluate whether assessment and governance are thoroughly addressed or only lightly touched upon, and whether the fundamental technical principles remain robust despite incorporating new material.

The changes are evident in Learnbay’s Generative AI and Agentic AI Master’s Program. Learnbay provides programs in collaboration with IBM, Microsoft, and IIT Patna, maintains an academic partnership with Woolf University, and is a member of NASSCOM. Ongoing interactions with engineers inform curriculum revisions based on the needs of hiring partners.

About Learnbay

Learnbay is an esteemed professional upskilling institution headquartered in India, specializing in disciplines such as Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, Agentic AI, Forward Deployed Engineer, and Cloud Computing. Established in 2015 by Learnvista Pvt. Ltd., the organization offers both online and hybrid programs tailored for professionals and individuals transitioning careers.

Sagar Ahiwale, Padma Shri Dr. Milind Kamble, Fredrik Bjerke Abdemalguid, Hon. Shri Siddhesh Kadam, Arati Ahiwale, Håkon Hauan and Prashant Gaikwad at India’s 1st EPD Conference 2026.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 10: GreenEx Environmental today hosted India’s 1st EPD Conference 2026 at Taj Lands’ End, Bandra West, Mumbai, bringing together policymakers, regulators, international EPD programme operators, sustainability experts, and leading Indian and multinational manufacturing companies for a significant dialogue on the future of environmental transparency and sustainable manufacturing.

The conference focused on the growing importance of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and how credible, science-based environmental data can help industries respond to evolving global sustainability standards. Discussions throughout the day explored the role of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), and EPDs in enabling businesses to measure, verify, and communicate the environmental impact of their products more transparently.

A High-Level Gathering of Policymakers, Global Experts, and Industry Leaders

The conference witnessed the presence of prominent government, regulatory, and industry leaders, including:

• Shri Siddhesh Ramdas Kadam, Chairman, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB)
• Representative, Royal Norwegian Consulate General
• Hon’ble Padma Shri Dr. Milind Kamble, Founder Chairman, Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCI)
• Mrs. Arati Bhosale-Ahiwale, Managing Director, GreenEx Environmental Pvt. Ltd.
• Hon’ble Mr. Sagar Ahiwale, Managing Director, Green Solution Industries Pvt. Ltd.
• Hon’ble Mr. Hakon Hauan, CEO, EPD-NORGE and President & CEO, CEO Platform, Norway
• Hon’ble Mr. Prashant Gaikwad, Green Solution Group of Companies

The event brought together international EPD Programme Operators and sustainability leaders, along with representatives from Norway, global industry bodies, and India’s regulatory ecosystem, including stakeholders from MPCB, BIS, and NITI Aayog. Senior representatives from leading Indian and multinational manufacturing companies also participated in the discussions.

The gathering provided an important platform for stakeholders across the ecosystem to exchange knowledge, discuss emerging global practices, and explore opportunities to accelerate the adoption of EPDs in India.

Voices from the Conference

“Environmental Product Declarations can play an important role in helping Indian industry build greater trust through credible and transparent environmental data. Platforms such as this conference can help strengthen collaboration between regulators, industry, and global sustainability stakeholders, while encouraging businesses to adopt measurable environmental practices.”— Shri Siddhesh Ramdas Kadam, Chairman, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB)

“India’s first EPD Conference is an important step towards bringing environmental transparency into the mainstream of sustainable manufacturing. By combining Life Cycle Assessment, credible data, and internationally aligned EPD practices, Indian businesses can make their sustainability efforts more measurable, transparent, and globally relevant.”— Mrs. Arati Bhosale-Ahiwale, Managing Director, GreenEx Environmental Pvt. Ltd.

“The EPD ecosystem gives industry an opportunity to move beyond sustainability commitments and demonstrate measurable environmental performance. Bringing global experts, programme operators, and Indian stakeholders together is an important step towards making verified environmental information more accessible and actionable for businesses.”— Mr. Sagar Ahiwale, Managing Director, Green Solution Industries Pvt. Ltd.

From Global Standards to Industry Applications

The conference opened with the inaugural session, “From Transparency to Transformation: The Global Evolution of EPDs,” setting the context for the growing relevance of environmental product transparency in global markets. The programme covered the fundamentals of EPDs and international standards, followed by discussions on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), and the role of EPDs in supporting more informed and credible sustainability decisions.

A key focus of the conference was understanding the complete EPD journey — from LCA modelling and data collection to verification and publication through recognised global programme operators. Experts also examined the challenges faced by Indian businesses and explored opportunities for stronger collaboration between industry, regulators, programme operators, and sustainability professionals.

The conference brought an important international perspective through the participation of EPD-Norge/EPD Global and other global EPD stakeholders, offering Indian businesses valuable insights into international developments and evolving expectations around environmental product transparency.

Moving from Sustainability Commitments to Measurable Action

The second half of the conference focused on practical implementation and the growing need to translate sustainability commitments into measurable action. Sessions covered EPD verification, technology-enabled EPDs, and considerations around selecting appropriate EPD programmes for Indian industries.

A dedicated panel discussion on “EPD Publication Strategy – Trust, Technology, and Programme Selection” brought together experts from verification, sustainability, manufacturing, and EPD platforms to discuss how businesses can develop credible, robust, and internationally relevant environmental declarations.

The conference also featured industry case studies on EPDs in practice, demonstrating how businesses can move towards measurable, verified, and transparent environmental information across product value chains.

As global markets increasingly place greater emphasis on credible environmental data and transparency, India’s 1st EPD Conference 2026 marked an important step in creating greater awareness and dialogue around EPD adoption in the country. The conference served as a platform for Indian industry to better understand, adopt, and scale EPD practices while aligning with evolving international sustainability expectations.

Bubble Communication, the communication partner for GreenEx Environmental, facilitated media outreach and communications for India’s 1st EPD Conference 2026, helping bring greater visibility to the conversations around environmental transparency, sustainable manufacturing, and the growing relevance of EPDs in India.

The latest film showcases how Hafele solutions can be tailored to individual lifestyles and preferences, bringing a more personal dimension to the brand’s continuing campaign narrative.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 10: Hafele India brings a fresh perspective to its continuing campaign with brand ambassador Sachin Tendulkar, taking forward the established hook, “Maximising what matters the most.” Building on the relatable, product-led storytelling of its previous films, the latest chapter brings everyday functionality to life through simple, memorable narratives that demonstrate the tangible value of Hafele’s solutions.

Rooted in Hafele’s brand purpose, “Maximising the Value of Space. Together.”, the campaign puts individual routines and preferences at the centre of its storytelling. Recognising that priorities differ from one household to another, the films demonstrate how Hafele’s solutions respond to the way people experience and use their kitchens, bringing ease to daily routines so they can focus on what they value, while enabling greater personalisation and design freedom.

The campaign continues its familiar slice-of-life storytelling with Sachin Tendulkar and Ajay Bhaiya, whose on-screen camaraderie brings warmth and relatability to everyday moments at home. Following the first film featuring Hafele Dishwashers, the second film shifts the focus to Hafele Customisable Cabinet Fronts, highlighting how an extensive choice of colours, materials and finishes allows homeowners to create a kitchen that reflects their individual style and preferences. Through a simple, relatable narrative, the film demonstrates how personalisation can make a space feel truly your own, while reinforcing the campaign’s central thought of “Maximising what matters the most.”

Mr. Frank Schloeder, Managing Director, Hafele South Asia, shares,“Homes are becoming increasingly personal, with people looking for solutions that allow their spaces to reflect their individual lifestyles and preferences. At Hafele, we believe personalisation is about more than choice; it is about giving people the freedom to bring their vision to life while delivering the quality, precision and functionality they expect from us. Through our latest film with Sachin Tendulkar, we bring this idea to life by showing how thoughtful design choices can make a space feel truly personal.”

Mr. Sachin Tendulkar, Brand Ambassador for Hafele, shares, “Over time, I have come to appreciate how much of a difference the little details can make to the way we experience our homes. In a space like the kitchen, it is not only about convenience and functionality, but also about creating an environment that reflects your individual style and preferences. I like that Hafele’s campaign captures these thoughts through simple stories that people can connect with.”

Ms. Shweta Rangra, Vice President, Marketing, Hafele India, adds, “Our approach with this phase of the campaign is to turn strong product propositions into simple, memorable stories that audiences can immediately connect with. For the film featuring Hafele Dishwashers, the capacity to clean up to 100 utensils in a single cycle gave us an interesting creative opportunity to draw on Sachin’s iconic association with a century, turning a functional product benefit into a distinctive communication idea. Across the two films, we are bringing different aspects of the Hafele experience to life, spanning functionality and the freedom to personalise spaces, while remaining connected by our central thought of ‘Maximising what matters the most.’”

The campaign was shot at Hafele’s state-of-the-art Design Centre in Mahalaxmi, Mumbai, that offered a real-life environment to effectively showcase product functionality. With this new series, Hafele demonstrates its continued commitment to empowering people to make the most of their space and maximise what truly matters.

Her journey gives even greater meaning to these words. Nimmy believes that life may present unexpected challenges, but women should never allow fear, difficult circumstances or society’s expectations to stop them from living life with confidence and purpose.

Expressing her heartfelt gratitude, Nimmy thanked the entire Mrs. India International Queen 2026 pageant team for creating an empowering platform for women.

How Ordinary Roots Grow an Extraordinary Future — A New Book on Financial Freedom and Entrepreneurship by Lucknow Author Vinay Gautam

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 9: Entrepreneur and livestock-tech Co-founder Vinay Gautam has released his debut book, The Mango Seeds: 9 Lessons for Every Middle-Class Person — part memoir, part practical guide to financial freedom, written for anyone who has ever felt like their everyday life was too ordinary to matter. The book grew out of three questions Gautam kept coming back to:

• What can a goat farmer’s rooftop journey teach us about financial freedom?
• How can one promise made under a tree change the course of a family’s life?
• Why do the ordinary struggles of the middle class deserve to be called remarkable?

From Rooftop Goats to a Global Livestock Marketplace

Gautam’s story starts in an unlikely place: 50 goats on a rooftop. His family thought it was a mistake. Looking back, it turned out to be the beginning of something much bigger.

That rooftop experiment has since grown into Pashubajaar.com, India’s first community-based livestock marketplace, now connecting more than 30,000 goat farmers across five states. The real turning point came when a World Bank consultant introduced him to professional livestock networks. That one connection is what took a rooftop hustle and turned it into a structured business — and eventually, into a story Gautam has shared on international stages.

A Personal Promise That Changed Everything

Among the book’s most moving chapters is a story Gautam has never told publicly before — a quiet moment under a tree near IVRI-Bareilly, a private promise made to Lord Hanuman, and the unexpected way that promise was kept. He describes it as the moment that reshaped both his personal life and his career, and he hopes it gets readers thinking about the promises they’ve made quietly to themselves, and how those promises have shaped their own lives.

Nine Practical Lessons in Financial Freedom for the Middle Class

At its core, The Mango Seeds lays out nine practical lessons on consistency, financial clarity, building multiple income streams, and knowing when to say no. It’s written for the middle-class professional juggling EMIs, school fees, ageing parents, and ambition all at the same time — and Gautam wrote it because he believes those lives, quiet as they often are, deserve to be told.

The Mango Seeds Metaphor: Planting a Legacy

The book’s title comes from Gautam’s grandfather, who planted mango seeds every summer — not for himself, but for the generations that would come after him. Decades later, his family still eats fruit from those same trees, and Gautam sees the same idea at work in his own life: the values his grandfather planted in him are the ones he’s now passing on to his son, Evan, and hopes to pass on to anyone who picks up the book.

About the Author

Vinay Gautam is CEO and Co-Founder of Pashubajaar.com and Partner at CapriCo Food Products. A recognized voice in agri-tech and rural entrepreneurship, he has spoken at USAID forums in Bangkok and Johannesburg and completed an Executive Programme at IIM Lucknow. He lives in Lucknow with his wife, Priya, and son, Evan.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 9: Rising rentals, strong leasing activity and declining availability in several prime business districts are all pointing to sustained occupier confidence. And it is with this that India’s office market is entering a period of quality-led growth. In many real estate micro-markets, this indicates the business value associated with well-located, high-quality commercial assets. The increase in rents is not merely adding to the cost of occupying an office as companies are willing to pay for connectivity, amenities, operational efficiency and access to talent.

India recorded 45.5 million sq ft of office leasing in the first half of 2026, an increase of 9.6 per cent from a year earlier, according to CBRE data. Global Capability Centres (GCCs) accounted for 43 per cent of this demand, supported by multinational companies expanding technology, engineering, financial services and other strategic functions in the country.

Although leasing volumes may vary across studies because consultancies use different methodologies, the broader trend indicators have remained consistent. Cushman & Wakefield recorded gross leasing of 21.4 million sq. ft across the top eight cities during the second quarter of 2026. It said Bengaluru contributed 26 per cent and Mumbai and Delhi-NCR accounting for 19 per cent each. IT-BPM companies were the largest demand drivers, followed by flexible workspace operators, engineering and manufacturing companies, and banking and financial services firms.

“Rising office rentals are increasingly a sign of the strength and maturity of India’s commercial real estate market. The demand we are seeing is not merely for office space, but for well-connected, Grade A workplaces that offer quality, amenities and a better experience for employees. GCCs, technology companies, financial services firms and global businesses continue to drive this demand, while limited availability of premium spaces is supporting healthy rental growth in established markets such as Mumbai and Delhi-NCR. At the same time, emerging business destinations like Navi Mumbai are gaining momentum as infrastructure improves and occupiers look for efficient, future-ready locations. Markets such as Thane and Nerul are also gaining traction, supported by improving infrastructure, connectivity and the growing need for quality commercial spaces closer to established residential catchments . Over the next 12–24 months, we expect this trend to remain positive, with quality-led demand and infrastructure-driven growth shaping India’s commercial real estate landscape,” said Bhadresh Shah, Managing Director, Today Group.

This demand is increasingly concentrated in Grade A buildings that combine efficient floor plates, modern building systems, sustainability features, employee amenities and strong transport connectivity. Commonly called the “flight to quality,” this is a trend widening the distinction between premium developments and ageing or inadequately connected office stock. It is also the factor that allows high-quality buildings in established and emerging business districts to command stronger rents and maintain higher occupancy.

“Commercial real estate is increasingly moving towards a quality-led growth cycle, and Andheri is emerging as one of the key beneficiaries of this shift. Its connectivity, established business ecosystem and proximity to major residential catchments are attracting a wider mix of corporates, GCCs and professional services firms,” said Rohit Garodia, Founder and Managing Partner, Pecan Realty.

Mumbai illustrates how this demand is spreading across a network of business districts rather than remaining confined to a single commercial centre. Bandra-Kurla Complex continues to command premium rents because of its concentration of financial and professional services companies, access to talent and improving regional connectivity. But, Andheri, Goregaon, Thane and the Thane-Belapur corridor also provide businesses with a broader range of Grade A options at different rental levels.

“Mumbai is a good example of why rising office rents can be a sign of market strength rather than simply higher costs. In BKC, occupiers are willing to pay a premium because connectivity, access to talent and proximity to financial institutions create tangible business value,” said Aditya Pushkarna, Associate Director, Banke International Properties.

The development of multiple office clusters is important for a market as large and diverse as Mumbai. It offers companies the ability to match location decisions with talent catchments, operational requirements and occupancy costs. It also reduces dependence on traditional central business districts and supports the growth of commercial ecosystems closer to major residential concentrations.

“At the same time, Andheri and the Thane-Belapur corridor are attracting occupiers seeking Grade A infrastructure at a more efficient cost. This demonstrates the depth of Mumbai’s commercial market and its ability to offer multiple business districts,” Pushkarna said. “Strong leasing and tightening vacancy indicate that rental growth is being supported by genuine occupier demand and business expansion, rather than speculative pricing.”

Andheri’s established commercial base, access to the airport and connectivity through road and metro networks have helped the micro-market retain its relevance even as newer office destinations have emerged. Modern developments in and around are increasingly responding to occupier expectations linked to wellness, collaboration, sustainability, technology and workplace experience.

“As occupiers become more discerning about workplace quality, Grade A developments in well-connected locations are gaining stronger demand, which in turn supports rental resilience, occupancy and long-term capital value,” Garodia said. “Andheri’s evolution reflects how the right location, combined with institutional-quality infrastructure, can create sustained value for both occupiers and investors.”

Another micro-market that piques interest is Goregaon East. It is undergoing a similar transition. Infrastructure improvements, metro connectivity and the development of integrated commercial, residential, retail and hospitality projects are giving wind to the area’s appeal among businesses and investors. Its proximity to established residential neighbourhoods is also relevant at a time when companies are paying greater attention to commuting convenience and their ability to attract and retain employees.

“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,” said Vikash Kawar, Director of AGM Vijaylaxmi Group. “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.”

The growth and expansion of Mumbai’s office geography is also strengthening the case for commercial development within MMR. In Thane, which has evolved as an independent economic and residential hub, a large residential base, improving infrastructure and growing business activity are generating demand. Thane as its response is creating the space for workplaces capable of supporting companies and employment within the city.

According to JLL, the MMR office market recorded its strongest-ever leasing quarter in Q1 2026, surpassing the previous peak set in late 2025. New supply stood at 1.3 million sq. ft, concentrated largely in Thane and SBD North, while average rents rose 0.7 per cent quarter-on-quarter and 3.4 per cent year-on-year. With nearly 24 million sq. ft of new office supply expected across Mumbai over the next two years, supported by strong pre-commitments and healthy absorption, Thane is strengthening its position as an established commercial hub.

Bhushan Bhanushali, Founder, VB Group observed that Thane’s distinct commercial identity is being strengthened by its established residential base, expanding business ecosystem and sustained investment in infrastructure. “Within this landscape, neighbourhoods like Vartak Nagar showcase strong connectivity with access to well-developed residential neighbourhoods and mature social, retail and civic infrastructure. Advantages like this give various localities of Thane a strong foundation to serve the changing requirements of businesses, professionals and consumers,” Bhanushali revealed.

Thane’s evolution as an independent economic and residential hub is eventually creating a natural need for a stronger commercial ecosystem. “As the city attracts businesses and employment opportunities, the demand for quality Grade A office spaces is also gaining momentum,” said Nishant Deshmukh, Founder and Managing Partner, Sugee Group.

“This reflects a broader shift where businesses are increasingly seeking modern, well-connected and amenity-rich workplaces that can support their evolving needs. The integration of high-quality commercial developments will be critical in enabling Thane to emerge as a more self-sustained urban centre, while also strengthening its long-term commercial potential,” Deshmukh added.

Going forward, new supply will remain an important factor in determining whether rental growth is sustainable over the next 12 to 24 months. Additions of well-planned Grade A stock can help make space for business expansion and prevent rents from moving beyond levels justified by occupier economics. However, new construction does not automatically weaken pricing. Buildings in less accessible locations or those that do not meet contemporary quality standards may struggle even when premium developments continue to record strong demand.

For developers, this means a far greater emphasis on planning, location, amenities, building management and long-term asset quality. For investors, rising rents and stable occupancy can improve income visibility and reinforce the value of institutional-grade commercial assets. Occupiers, meanwhile, will need to assess rents against the wider benefits of a location, including access to employees and clients, commuting time, operating efficiency and the ability of a workplace to support recruitment and retention.

“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,” Kawar said. “We believe the micro-market will witness sustained growth in Grade-A office leasing and investment activity over the coming years.”

Finally, the outlook for India’s office sector remains closely tied to GCC expansion, domestic business growth, flexible workspace demand and the continuing preference for better-quality buildings. Higher rentals will make sense where they are supported by falling vacancy, genuine business expansion and a shortage of suitable premium space. In that context, rental and capital appreciation are not simply indicators of higher cost. They represent the increasing economic relevance of a well-connected, efficiently operated and institutionally managed commercial real estate.

New Delhi [India], September 9: Availing a Personal Loan is perhaps the quickest way to meet your financial needs. They require minimal documentation, and you don’t need collateral. As long as you are eligible, the loan maybe approved and given to you almost instantly.

TL;DR

Choose a loan amount that meets your requirement without stretching your repayment capacity.

Look at the interest rate, processing fees, other applicable charges and total repayment amount.

Balance an affordable EMI with the total interest you will pay over the loan period.

Make sure the EMI fits comfortably alongside your existing commitments and regular expenses.

Check eligibility, pre-approved offers, processing timelines and applicable charges before accepting the loan.

Banks may offer different loan options and choosing the best Personal Loan for you does not have to be a guessing game. Here are some things you can do to make the right choice.

Choose the Right Loan Amount

Before jumping into the application process, always consider your need and ability to repay to choose the right loan amount. Avoid borrowing more than you need, as it may lead to higher interest rates and EMIs.

A larger loan generally means a higher EMI and a higher total interest outgo, even if the interest rate remains the same. Borrowing only what you need can help keep your repayment obligation manageable.

Before applying, consider:

• How much do I actually need?
• Can I meet part of the expense from my available savings without compromising my emergency fund?
• What EMI can I comfortably accommodate alongside my existing expenses and EMIs?

The objective should be to borrow enough to meet the requirement, rather than maximising the amount available to you.

Compare Interest Rates and the Total Cost

Banks offer different loan options with different rates of interest. It is important to compare these options before getting a Personal Loan, since the interest rate determines the total amount that you will have to pay back over time.

Also, while the interest rate is an important factor, it should not be the only one you compare. A loan with a lower advertised rate may not necessarily be the least expensive option once other applicable charges are considered.

When comparing Personal Loans, look at:

• Applicable interest rate
• Processing fee
• Other applicable charges
• Loan tenure
• EMI
• Total amount repayable

Choose a Suitable Tenure

Loan tenure determines how long you will make repayments.

A shorter tenure generally means a higher EMI, but you may pay less interest overall. A longer tenure can make the monthly repayment easier to manage, but the total interest outgo may be higher.

For example, if you can comfortably afford the higher EMI associated with a shorter tenure, it may reduce your overall borrowing cost. However, choosing a tenure that leaves too little room in your monthly budget can make repayment difficult.

The right tenure is therefore a balance between affordable monthly repayments and a reasonable total cost.

Example:

Have an Estimate of the EMI

An EMI calculator can help you understand the likely monthly repayment before you commit to a loan.

Enter the proposed:

• Loan amount
• Interest rate
• Tenure

You can then compare different loan amounts and tenures to understand how they affect your EMI and total interest payable.

Importantly, avoid assessing affordability based on the EMI alone. You ought to consider it alongside your rent, household expenses, existing EMIs, savings and other regular financial commitments.

Check Your Existing EMIs and Repayment Capacity

Before taking a new Personal Loan, look at your existing financial commitments.

A new EMI will become a recurring obligation, so consider whether your monthly income can comfortably cover.

If taking a new loan would leave very little flexibility in your monthly budget, consider whether you need the full amount.

Look Beyond “Instant” or Quick Disbursal

Speed can be important when you have an urgent financial requirement, but it should not be the primary reason for choosing a loan.

A digital application and quick processing can make accessing loans easier. However, approval and disbursal are subject to the lender’s terms and conditions.

Understand the Applicable Charges

The cost of a Personal Loan can include more than just interest. Before accepting an offer, check the applicable fees and charges, which may include:

• Processing fees
• Applicable taxes
• Stamp duty, where applicable
• Late payment or penal charges
• Prepayment or foreclosure charges, where applicable
• Other charges specified in the loan terms

Banks often disclose these charges at the time of loan application; however, it may help to inquire about them early on so you can be prepared.

Final Thoughts

Choosing a Personal Loan without carefully considering your options may lead to high interest rates and high EMIs, which may be difficult to manage. This can affect your credit score, and banks may charge a late fee. Always make an informed decision and consult your banking partner if you have any questions.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 9: There is a phrase most Indian families grow up hearing before they grow up hosting. Atithi devo bhava – the guest is God. It is not merely a cultural nicety. In the Indian tradition, hospitality is a moral position: the measure of a household is how completely it looks after the people who cross its threshold. A guest who is well-fed, well-rested, and made to feel genuinely wanted is the highest expression of that tradition.

That intention has run into a very practical obstacle for one of India’s most recurring hosting challenges. When weddings stretch across three days, when pujas bring four generations under one roof, when a housewarming draws relatives from six cities, the first question most hosts face is the one nobody planned for: where does everyone sleep? For many families, the answer has been a nearby hotel – a sensible fix, but one that quietly changes the shape of the gathering.

Relatives staying at a hotel experience the celebration a little differently. They arrive for the ceremonies but miss the morning conversation in the kitchen, the late-night chai that goes on till 2 AM, the unplanned moments between events that make a wedding feel like a family gathering rather than a scheduled occasion. Keeping guests under the same roof adds a layer of closeness that no amount of hotel comfort quite replicates.

Hyderabad-based HostMyGuest was built around the belief that families shouldn’t have to give up that closeness simply because their home doesn’t have enough beds and chairs for everyone. Founded by Gali Arundar Sai and Subhash Chunduri, the company offers On-Demand Furnishing – everything a home needs to host guests comfortably, set up only for the days it’s needed. Families place a request through the company’s own booking platform, specify their requirements and event dates, and the HostMyGuest team handles delivery, setup, and collection once the event concludes. No sourcing, no vendor-chasing, no last-minute improvisation.

“Hosting in India is emotional before it is logistical,” says Gali Arundar Sai, Founder and CEO, HostMyGuest. “Families want their guests close, comfortable, and well taken care of, but the infrastructure to do that on short notice had never really existed.”

The distinction Gali draws between a hotel stay and staying at home is not really about comfort – modern hotels are, by most measures, more comfortable than an improvised sleeping arrangement in a living room. It is about presence. Indian celebrations are not built around the event alone. They are built around the days surrounding it: the arrival of outstation relatives the evening before, the informal dinners, the preparations that involve everyone, the way a house full of family feels different from a house that is merely well-organised. HostMyGuest exists to make that kind of hosting possible even when a home’s own furniture isn’t enough for the crowd.

This is precisely the gap HostMyGuest occupies – not competing with hotels, but making it genuinely easy to host everyone at home instead. A family that previously had to choose between cramped improvisation at home and sending guests elsewhere now has a third option: enough beds, seating, and furnishing for everyone, delivered clean, set up professionally, for exactly as long as the event lasts.

Subhash Chunduri, Founder and CTO, built the booking experience around the same principle of simplicity. “Our focus was always on removing friction,” he says. “Customers book through our platform, tell us what they need and when, and we take it from there – from scheduling and delivery to setup and support. The host should be free to host, not to manage vendors.”

The service currently covers all major neighbourhoods across Hyderabad. In four months of operation, HostMyGuest has served more than 700 guests across weddings, festivals, and family functions – early numbers that point to a demand that was always present but had no structured outlet.

What’s being built here isn’t just a furnishing service. It’s the infrastructure behind an old instinct: that the people who show up for you deserve to be looked after properly.

For generations of Indian families, that intention has been quietly limited by the absence of a practical way to act on it. HostMyGuest is making the practical part easier – and, in doing so, making the tradition a little more possible to keep.

The initiative gives UK businesses a single point of contact across India entry, business setup, workplace planning, talent, technology, operations, and subsequent expansion.

Navi Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 9: Officebing has announced a new UK–India business expansion initiative designed to help UK-based businesses establish, launch and scale operations in India. The initiative expands Officebing’s role beyond managed workspaces, bringing together the different requirements involved in moving from an initial India plan to an operational presence on the ground.

The proposition is built around a practical challenge facing companies entering a new market. Establishing operations can involve separate conversations around entity setup, compliance, hiring, location selection, workplace development, technology, security and ongoing operations. Officebing aims to simplify this process by serving as a single point of contact and coordinating the different workstreams required as the business progresses.

The initiative comes at a significant time for commercial ties between the two countries. The UK–India Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) entered into force on 15 July 2026. According to the UK government, total trade between the UK and India was worth £48 billion in 2025, while its impact assessment estimates that the agreement could increase bilateral trade by nearly 39% in the long run, equivalent to £25.5 billion annually when applied to projected 2040 trade levels.

Officebing sees this changing environment as an opportunity not only for large companies considering Global Capability Centres, but also for UK SMEs, mid-market businesses and growing enterprises exploring India as part of their expansion strategy. The initiative is intended to support companies at different stages, including those evaluating India for the first time, establishing an initial team, considering a GCC, or already operating in the country and preparing for further growth.

The model is structured around three broad stages: Establish, Launch and Scale. During the establishment stage, Officebing can support India entry planning, business and entity setup, compliance requirements, and location and workplace strategy. Launch requirements can extend to talent and hiring, managed and build-to-suit offices, technology, security and Day 1 workplace readiness. Once operations are established, the framework can support additional capacity, workplace expansion, new locations and ongoing operations.

Rather than requiring businesses to manage these requirements as unrelated projects, Officebing intends to bring the relevant capabilities together through one coordinated relationship. Where specialist professional requirements arise, the relevant processes can be managed as part of the broader engagement.

Officebing’s existing GCC framework provides the operational foundation for the initiative. It follows a seven-stage model of Establish, Plan, Build, Connect, Launch, Operate and Scale. This covers areas ranging from entity and statutory requirements and location planning to customised workplaces, IT and security infrastructure, facilities, hospitality and subsequent expansion into additional seats, floors, locations or cities.

Rohit Gawali, Co-Founder, Officebing, said: “For many international businesses, the difficult part is not recognising India’s potential. It is understanding what needs to happen after the decision to enter the market has been made. There are multiple workstreams that have to come together before a team can become operational. With this initiative, our objective is to give UK businesses one accountable point of contact that can help coordinate that journey, from the initial India plan through workplace launch and subsequent growth.”

The initiative also establishes a local point of contact in the UK. Gurjeet Singh Oberoi will serve as the primary contact for Officebing’s UK–India business expansion initiative, providing businesses in the UK with a London-based connection while their India requirements are planned and coordinated.

The approach is deliberately broader than a conventional GCC sales proposition. Officebing intends to engage businesses that may still be exploring whether India fits their growth strategy, rather than focusing solely on organisations that have already committed to establishing large-scale operations. The initial target audience spans UK-based founders, SMEs, mid-market companies and larger enterprises across sectors including technology and SaaS, professional services, financial services, engineering, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics and business services.

As UK–India commercial engagement develops following CETA, Officebing expects the practical requirements of market entry to become increasingly relevant. The company’s proposition is based on allowing businesses to start from wherever they are in their India journey and build the infrastructure required for the next stage, rather than fitting every organisation into a predetermined expansion model.

UK businesses interested in exploring an India presence can connect with Gurjeet Singh Oberoi to discuss their plans and understand the requirements involved. The initiative is open both to businesses actively preparing an India operation and those still evaluating the opportunity.

About Officebing

Officebing is a managed workspace company supporting businesses with dedicated, customised and managed workplaces. Its GCC proposition extends this experience across the broader workplace journey, including India entry coordination, location and workplace strategy, managed and build-to-suit offices, technology and security, talent coordination, workplace operations and multi-city expansion. Officebing’s approach is centred on providing international businesses with a coordinated path from initial India planning to an operational workplace capable of scaling alongside their requirements.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 10: A board can have the right people around the table, the right committees, the right dashboards and the right strategy. It can meet every requirement of good governance and still fail at the one thing that makes a board truly effective: getting to the truth.

Every board pack I have seen in recent years has a slide on AI. A slide on geopolitics and risk. A slide on cost. A slide on talent, somewhere between the risk matrix and the five-year plan. All of these matter. But what is harder to see in a board pack is the quality of the conversation underneath the numbers: What are we not hearing? Where is the challenge being muted? What does management know that has not yet made its way to the board?

In my experience of working with 500 organisations, these questions often matter more than they appear to. Because the effectiveness of a board ultimately depends not just on the quality of the questions it asks, but on whether the organisation is willing and able to bring the uncomfortable answers to the table.

I remember standing outside a conference room once, after sitting in on a top team meeting. The strategy presentation had been sharp. The numbers were tight. The CEO was confident, and fielded every question with ease. People nodded. Nobody interrupted. Everyone looked attentive. The meeting even closed twenty minutes early, which the room seemed to take as a good sign.

Afterwards, I asked one of the directors what he thought. There was a long pause. Then he said quietly, “Honestly? I had two questions I didn’t ask.” When I asked why, he just shrugged. “It didn’t feel like the moment.” It never does. That, to me, is precisely the point.

We spend a great deal of time on board oversight of strategy, of capital allocation, of succession. We spend far less time on something quieter and, I would argue, more consequential: whether the truth is actually reaching the top table, and whether it feels safe to disagree once it does.

Almost every serious stumble I have watched unfold from the sideline.. a product recall, a compliance failure, a strategy that quietly unravelled two years after it was celebrated had an earlier moment somewhere in it. A moment where someone knew, and said nothing. Or said it so softly that it never registered.

As Indians we are unafraid of having a good argument. Turn on any news debate and you’ll find opinions delivered at full volume, with total conviction, by people who have clearly never doubted themselves in their lives. We’ve been arguing about scripture, philosophy and politics around dinner tables for centuries. Voice is not something we lack.

But there is a real difference between speaking and speaking up. In many of the boardrooms and leadership teams I’ve worked with, hierarchy still carries genuine weight. Questioning a chairman, a promoter CEO, or a founder who built the company out of nothing, is not the same as debating a colleague over dinner. There’s respect in that, sometimes affection, and often, if I’m honest, plain fear of consequence.

The “power distance” gets in the way. So people find other ways to register what they cannot say aloud: a slower pace of execution, a project that quietly loses steam, whispers in the corridor, a resignation that arrives “out of nowhere.” Boards tend to read these as operational issues. In my experience, they are usually something else entirely… unspoken disagreement that has simply run out of road.

Over the years, I’ve come to see this play out as two opposite polarities, and I’ve sat inside both. At one extreme are the organizations I’d call overtly harmony-seeking everyone agrees with everyone, rather too easily, and decisions move fast. Suspiciously fast, in fact. I once sat through a leadership meeting where a multi-crore decision was signed off in eleven minutes flat, with more time spent on where to order lunch from than on the decision itself. Nobody was lying. They just weren’t disagreeing, which is its own quiet kind of dishonesty.

At the other extreme sit the organizations that have made everything about rigour, where every proposal must be cross-questioned, re-questioned, and litigated across four more meetings before anyone commits to anything. I’ve watched teams debate the order of speakers, or the wording on a slide, with the intensity most people reserve for a merger…skeptical of almost everything that comes up. It looks like the healthier of the two cultures, because at least people are talking. But argument without end is not the same as honesty either. It’s often just a more exhausting way of avoiding a decision, and, I suspect, avoiding the accountability that comes after one.

Both extremes, oddly, produce the same silence I opened with. In the harmony-seeking room, nobody says the hard thing because it would break the mood. In the argue-till-eternity room, everybody says everything except the one thing that matters, because it’s safer to relitigate the process than to own the call. Boards tend to reward whichever extreme feels more comfortable to them, the swift room looks decisive, the argumentative room looks thorough, without asking the one question that actually predicts trouble: when something genuinely goes wrong here, who is the first to know, and how long before it reaches the top?

This, I believe, is the real risk boards need to sit with as they head into 2026. Not whether the strategy is right. Most strategies, in my experience, are directionally right, or right enough. The harder question is whether the organization is structurally capable of telling its leaders when something is going wrong, early enough for it to actually matter. A board can approve the finest five-year plan in the country, but if the CEO only ever hears agreement, and the CEO’s direct reports only ever hear agreement from their own teams in turn, that plan is being built on information nobody has ever stress-tested with an honest word.

We already have mechanisms designed to address this: vigil mechanisms, annual board evaluations that ask about the quality of debate, and sessions where independent directors meet without management. On paper, the architecture is there. But these mechanisms can become exercises in compliance rather than genuine tests of candour. A questionnaire completed once a year cannot tell you whether people feel free to challenge power. And a whistleblower channel designed to catch fraud is unlikely to capture the quieter moments when someone has a serious concern but decides not to raise it.

The real signals are often much simpler. How often is the CEO genuinely surprised by something the organisation already knew? Do the same three voices dominate every board discussion? Do independent directors ask their difficult questions in the room, or save them for the corridor afterwards, as mine did that day?

I don’t think the answer lies in more frameworks. Boards have quite enough of those already. I think the answer is simpler, and in its own way, harder: leaders and directors willing to build rooms where disagreement is not merely tolerated but actively invited, and who notice when a meeting has gone unusually smoothly, and treat that, correctly, as a signal to look closer rather than relax.

The CEOs I admire most, across three decades of this work, are rarely the ones with the most persuasive strategy decks. They are the ones who, at the end of a meeting where everyone seemed to agree with them, feel a small flicker of unease, and go find someone afterwards to ask, “Did that feel right to you?” That single habit of staying gently suspicious of consensus, may do more for a company’s future than any strategy offsite ever will.

Boards will spend all of 2026 talking about AI, about capital, about the next wave of disruption.

All of it matters, and none of it is wasted conversation. But I suspect the organizations that come through the year stronger will be the ones whose leaders kept asking a different, less comfortable question all year long not “what is our strategy,” but “who in this room isn’t telling us something, and why.”

That, to me, is the agenda nobody is writing about. It might just be the only one that decides how all the others turn out.

For those boards and institutions that are doing it right, may your tribe increase. For the rest, there is much work to be done. And it is one of the key drivers that take you from ‘Successful Organization’ to ‘Institution.’

Chirag Yadav Secured for ₹27 Lakh as Haryana Hurricanes Make a Statement at the Volleyball Champions League Auction in Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], September 9: The stage was set, the bidding wars were intense, and the Volleyball Champions League (VCL) 2026 Auction witnessed Haryana Hurricanes emerge as one of the franchises making a strong statement with its calculated and ambitious approach.

At the heart of Haryana Hurricanes’ auction strategy was team owner Naveen Rathi, whose leadership, vision and understanding of the game shaped a squad-building approach focused on quality, balance and proven potential.

The biggest highlight of the Hurricanes’ auction campaign came with the signing of Chirag Yadav for ₹27 lakh — the highest bid of the season. The prominent outside hitter has been in the spotlight following his impressive performances for India at the recent AVC Men’s Volleyball Cup, making his acquisition a major statement of intent from the Haryana franchise.

Securing a player of Chirag Yadav’s calibre through the highest bid of the auction reflects the confidence Haryana Hurricanes have placed in his ability to make a difference at the VCL level. His recent performances on the international stage have further strengthened expectations around his role in the team.

The Hurricanes also secured Saqlain Tariq as their Icon Player, adding experience, leadership and quality to the core of the squad. The combination of an established icon in Saqlain and high-impact talent such as Chirag gives Haryana Hurricanes a strong foundation as they prepare for the league.

But the franchise’s auction story was not built around just two names. Under Naveen Rathi’s leadership, Haryana Hurricanes followed a clear and purposeful strategy, making several smart acquisitions to create a squad capable of competing across different situations. Rather than simply chasing big names, the franchise focused on assembling the right mix of talent, experience, versatility and hunger to perform.

Naveen Rathi’s approach reflects a larger vision for Haryana Hurricanes — to build a team that represents the fighting spirit of Haryana and gives talented volleyball players the platform to showcase themselves at one of India’s biggest volleyball stages.

With the auction now complete, the focus shifts from the bidding table to the court. The responsibility will now be on the players to turn the franchise’s strategy into performances, while Naveen Rathi’s continued guidance and support will remain an important pillar for the team.

With Chirag Yadav’s ₹27-lakh record bid, Saqlain Tariq leading the side as Icon Player, and a carefully assembled squad, Haryana Hurricanes have made their intentions clear.

They are not here simply to participate in VCL 2026. They are here to compete, to challenge and to make Haryana proud.

New Delhi [India], September 8: For Civil Services aspirants, clearing the UPSC Preliminary Examination requires more than hard work. It demands conceptual clarity, consistent practice, sound examination strategy, and the right guidance. In the field of CSAT preparation, Mr. K. Swaminathan has built a distinguished reputation through more than 25 years of teaching experience, mentoring aspirants in Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, and Reading Comprehension.

Widely regarded by students as an experienced UPSC CSAT Teacher, Mr. Swaminathan has spent over two decades helping Civil Services aspirants strengthen their analytical abilities, overcome fear of mathematics and reasoning, and approach the CSAT paper with greater confidence.

Over his 25+ years of teaching, Mr. K. Swaminathan has taught lakhs of aspirants, patiently addressed their doubts, and closely studied the common mistakes students make-giving him a deep understanding of the challenges faced during UPSC CSAT preparation.

Currently, he leads Regular CSAT Foundation and Classroom Batches at Shankar IAS Academy, Delhi, where he continues to guide students from diverse academic backgrounds. Before joining Shankar IAS Academy, he served as a faculty member at Rau’s IAS Study Circle, one of India’s established Civil Services coaching institutions.

His long association with UPSC preparation has given him a deep understanding of the examination, changing question patterns, student difficulties, and the strategies required to perform effectively under pressure.

A Teaching Philosophy Built on Conceptual Clarity

One of the strongest aspects of Mr. Swaminathan’s teaching methodology is his emphasis on understanding concepts instead of memorising formulas.

Many UPSC aspirants, particularly those from humanities and non-mathematical backgrounds, initially find CSAT challenging. Topics such as percentages, ratios, averages, logical reasoning, data interpretation, analytical puzzles, and comprehension can appear difficult when approached without a strong foundation.

Mr. Swaminathan addresses this challenge through structured, step-by-step teaching. He begins with fundamental principles and gradually moves toward advanced applications and examination-level questions.

His core belief is simple: every aspirant can improve in CSAT with the right guidance, regular practice, and conceptual clarity.

This approach helps students understand not only how to solve a question, but also why a particular method works. As a result, they become better equipped to deal with unfamiliar questions during the examination.

Focus on Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning and Comprehension

As an experienced UPSC CSAT faculty and mentor, Mr. Swaminathan focuses on the three major areas that determine CSAT performance.

In Quantitative Aptitude, students are trained to develop calculation efficiency, understand mathematical relationships, identify simpler methods, and avoid unnecessary steps.

For Logical and Analytical Reasoning, his classes focus on systematic thinking, pattern recognition, elimination techniques, problem analysis, decision-making, and logical interpretation.

Reading Comprehension receives equally serious attention. Students are guided to identify arguments, understand the intent of passages, distinguish between close answer choices, and improve reading accuracy under time constraints.

His teaching combines classroom explanation with regular question practice, assignments, discussions, previous-year questions, and examination-oriented problem-solving.

Building Accuracy, Speed and Examination Strategy

CSAT preparation is not only about knowing concepts. Aspirants must also know how to use them effectively within the limited time available in the examination.

Mr. Swaminathan therefore places strong emphasis on accuracy, speed, question selection and time management.

Students are encouraged to analyse mistakes rather than simply count correct answers. Through continuous practice, they learn when to attempt a question, when to use elimination, when to avoid lengthy calculations, and how to maintain composure during the examination.

This strategy-based approach is particularly important because even well-prepared candidates can struggle if they do not manage time and question selection properly.

More Than 25 Years of Teaching Experience

Having taught and mentored students for more than 25 years, Mr. Swaminathan has witnessed significant changes in UPSC CSAT preparation and examination trends.

His experience allows him to understand recurring student problems and adapt his teaching accordingly. Beginners can build their foundations gradually, while repeat aspirants can identify weaknesses, improve strategy, and strengthen specific areas.

Over the years, he has taught a large number of Civil Services aspirants and earned recognition for his ability to simplify difficult topics and make CSAT preparation more approachable.

This combination of long teaching experience, subject expertise, examination awareness, and student-focused mentoring has helped establish his reputation among aspirants searching for an experienced or best CSAT teacher for UPSC preparation.

A Mentor Focused on Student Confidence

Beyond academic instruction, Mr. Swaminathan believes successful UPSC preparation requires discipline and confidence.

He encourages students to maintain regular study schedules, practise consistently, revise concepts, analyse mock-test performance, and learn from mistakes.

His approachable teaching style also allows students to ask questions freely and revisit concepts that require additional clarification.

For many aspirants, this supportive environment can make a major difference, particularly during the demanding UPSC preparation cycle.

Connecting with CSAT Aspirants Online

Students can learn more about Mr. K. Swaminathan, his UPSC CSAT guidance, classes, educational content, and updates through his official digital platforms.

For aspirants looking for an experienced UPSC CSAT Teacher who combines subject knowledge with practical examination strategy, Mr. Swaminathan remains a respected name in UPSC Civil Services education.

Global experts deliberate on evidence-based regenerative orthopaedics as two-day conference enters second day

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 9: The first internationally developed consensus guidelines for the clinical use of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) in regenerative orthopedics were unveiled here on Saturday at REGEN 2026, bringing together experts from India, Europe, South America and the USA to work towards greater consistency in the field.

The guidelines were unveiled on the opening day of the two-day international conference on regenerative orthopaedics being held at Aurika by Lemon Tree, Mumbai.

Developed through an international collaboration of leading experts, the BMAC Consensus Guidelines seek to provide an evidence-based framework for clinical decision-making and bring greater consistency to the use of BMAC in regenerative orthopaedic practice.

The conference also witnessed the presentation of a new biological classification system for knee osteoarthritis by Dr Sharmila Tulpule, Chairperson, REGEN 2026. The classification looks beyond the conventional Kellgren-Lawrence radiographic system and places greater emphasis on biological factors in assessing osteoarthritis.

“REGEN 2026 is about moving regenerative orthopaedics from promise to evidence-based practice. The development of these BMAC Consensus Guidelines through collaboration among experts from India, Europe, South America and the USA marks an important step towards greater clinical consistency and informed decision-making,” said Dr Tulpule.

The first day of the conference brought together international experts including Prof Nicola Maffulli, Dr Fabio Sciarretta, Dr Nathan Katz, Dr Don Buford and Dr Massimo Piracci, along with leading Indian specialists.

Scientific sessions during the day focused on PRP, BMAC, MFAT and other orthobiologics, with discussions around clinical evidence, patient selection, treatment protocols and emerging regenerative technologies.

Dr Madhan Jeyaraman, Founder Director, Agathisha Institute of Stem Cell and Regenerative Therapy, Chennai, said the international collaboration behind the BMAC guidelines was significant for the field.

Kerala Cyber Resilience Foundation announced as leaders call for stronger cyber resilience, sovereign capabilities and cybersecurity talent.

Kochi (Kerala) [India], September 9: India must urgently strengthen its digital and AI sovereignty, cyber resilience and cybersecurity talent pool as technology-driven threats increasingly emerge as national security challenges, senior leaders from government, national security, law enforcement and industry said at the second edition of Kerala Cyber Suraksha Summit (KCSS) 2026, organised by global technology systems integrator and cybersecurity solutions provider *F9 Infotech*.

Inaugurating the summit as Chief Guest, Hibi Eden, Member of Parliament, stressed the growing importance of cybersecurity awareness and preparedness as technology becomes increasingly embedded in everyday life, governance, education and the economy.

Eden welcomed F9 Infotech’s initiative to take cybersecurity education beyond industry and technology circles and make it accessible to students and educational institutions across Kerala.

As part of this larger vision, the formation of the Kerala Cyber Resilience Foundation was announced at KCSS 2026. The proposed Foundation is envisioned as a platform to strengthen cybersecurity awareness, preparedness, skills and resilience across Kerala.

One of its first major initiatives will be the rollout of cybersecurity training, awareness programmes and certification free of cost to government educational institutions across Kerala, facilitated by F9 Infotech. The initiative seeks to take cybersecurity awareness to young people at an early stage and help develop a larger pipeline of cyber-aware and cybersecurity-skilled talent in the state.

Delivering the inaugural keynote, Manoj Abraham, IPS, DGP and Director, Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau, Kerala, warned that cybercrime was assuming industrial-scale dimensions and could no longer be tackled by security agencies alone.

“Cyberattacks can now cripple nations and organisations, disable critical infrastructure and disrupt military operations without a single shot being fired,” he said.

Abraham said ransomware victims worldwide had risen 389 per cent year-on-year, while reported financial losses from cyber fraud in India during 2025 alone amounted to ₹19,813 crore.

“We are at a juncture where we need more defenders to take on cyber attackers. Worldwide, there are 4.8 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs,” he said, adding that Kerala’s strong talent pool positioned the state to help address the global cybersecurity skills shortage.

Air Commodore Prasanth Balakrishnan Nair, Kirti Chakra awardee and one of the astronauts selected for India’s Gaganyaan mission, underlined the importance of digital and AI sovereignty as strategic national imperatives as artificial intelligence, cyber warfare and emerging technologies reshape the global security landscape.

Jayakumar Mohanachandran, Founder of Kerala Cyber Suraksha Summit and Co-founder & CEO of F9 Infotech, said cybersecurity must move beyond boardrooms and technology teams to become a wider societal priority.

“In the last three years, more than ₹56,000 crore has been reported in cyber-fraud complaints across India. At the same time, India’s cyber-fraud response systems have helped save more than ₹11,000 crore across 32 lakh complaints. The question is no longer simply how we stop the next cyberattack, but how we build a digital future that people can trust,” Mohanachandran said.

He said KCSS was conceived not simply as an industry conference, but as a platform bringing together government, industry, technology leaders, cybersecurity professionals, academia and young talent to help build a more cyber-resilient society.

*Vinayak Godse, CEO, Data Security Council of India (DSCI)*, commended F9 Infotech for creating a platform bringing together government, national security, law enforcement, industry, academia and technology companies, noting that cybersecurity conversations must extend beyond law enforcement to business, innovation and governance.

The second edition of KCSS brought together more than 1,000 delegates and 45-plus speakers from government, national security, law enforcement, global technology companies, industry, academia and the cybersecurity ecosystem. The summit was supported by DSCI, TiE Kerala, the Cochin Chamber of Commerce and Industry and other industry and technology communities.

Rajesh Radhakrishnan, Co-founder and CTO, F9 Infotech, said KCSS received strong support from global technology leaders including Cisco, AWS, Google and Microsoft, reflecting the growing need for collaborative cybersecurity platforms and stronger industry-wide cyber resilience.

C. Balagopal, Chairman, KSIDC; Dr Saji Gopinath, Vice Chancellor, Digital University Kerala; and Rajesh Vikraman, Chief Information Security Officer, F9 Infotech, were among the senior leaders attending the summit.

With expertise spanning enterprise cybersecurity, cyber resilience, cloud security, digital infrastructure, data protection and security operations, F9 Infotech is expanding its role beyond technology implementation to building cybersecurity awareness, talent and resilience through initiatives such as KCSS and the proposed Kerala Cyber Resilience Foundation.

KCSS 2026 reinforced a central message: in the age of AI, cybersecurity is fundamental to national security, economic resilience and public trust.

New Delhi [India], September 8: At just 25, Atirek Shahi from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, is making a significant contribution to India’s evolving legal and sports ecosystem through his debut book Bharat at the Bar of Sports. An advocate practising before the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench, Atirek combines his expertise in constitutional law and governance with a deep passion for sports and policy reform.

A graduate of Jindal Global Law School with specialised training in sports law from ISDE, Atirek has also engaged with prestigious institutions including the United Nations Institute for Training and Research in Geneva and Somerville College, University of Oxford. Professionally, he has worked with the Office of the Additional Advocate General, Uttar Pradesh, as well as in the chambers of Senior Advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul. Alongside his legal career, he remains actively connected to sports through his association with the Uttar Pradesh State Rifle Association.

Reflecting on the publication of his first book, Atirek describes the experience as deeply fulfilling and humbling. For him, Bharat at the Bar of Sports is not merely an academic exercise but the culmination of years of research, observation, and passion for both law and sports governance. He believes the book is his attempt to contribute meaningfully to a field that still remains underexplored in India despite the rapid commercial growth of sports.

The inspiration behind the book came from witnessing the transformation of sports into a major industry involving governance, athlete rights, intellectual property, anti-doping regulations, gender equality, and constitutional concerns. Yet, according to Atirek, discussions around the legal framework governing sports often remain fragmented and inaccessible. Through this book, he aims to bridge that gap with a structured, research-driven, and reader-friendly perspective.

Bharat at the Bar of Sports examines the evolving legal and regulatory framework of Indian sports in detail. The book explores constitutional provisions, governance structures, athlete rights, anti-doping laws, corruption in sports, intellectual property concerns, and the increasing commercialisation of sporting institutions. It also compares India’s sports governance systems with international models and discusses the reforms needed to create a more transparent, accountable, and future-ready sporting ecosystem.

Through his work, Atirek hopes readers develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between law and sports, both in India and globally. He also aims to encourage discussions around ethical governance, institutional reform, and stronger legal protections for athletes and sports bodies.

Beyond writing, Atirek continues his legal practice while remaining actively involved in research, public policy discussions, and emerging legal developments. His interests also extend to international affairs, governance, and comparative legal systems.

Looking ahead, Atirek plans to continue writing on sports law, constitutional governance, arbitration, and policy-oriented legal reforms. He is especially interested in making complex legal subjects more accessible to students, researchers, and general readers.

For aspiring writers, he offers thoughtful advice rooted in discipline and patience. He encourages young writers to stay curious, research deeply, write honestly, and trust the process rather than waiting for perfection before beginning.

Bharat at the Bar of Sports stands as a timely and insightful contribution to India’s growing conversation around sports governance and legal reform.

New Delhi [India], September 8: Effective drainage systems are fundamental to managing water resources, protecting infrastructure and reducing the risks associated with flooding, waterlogging and soil degradation. Addressing these interconnected challenges, Dr. O. P. Singh’s Drainage Engineering presents a comprehensive examination of drainage principles, design practices and emerging technologies for diverse natural and built environments.

The book brings together foundational concepts in hydrology, soil-water interactions and drainage planning with practical approaches to solving drainage problems across agricultural, urban, coastal, industrial and infrastructure settings. It covers surface, subsurface and vertical drainage systems while also examining specialised applications involving highways, airports, mines, forests and tea gardens.

A key strength of Drainage Engineering is its integration of conventional engineering principles with contemporary technologies. The book explores topographic and geospatial surveys, remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), drainage modelling and simulation, water quality management, sediment and erosion control, and flood routing. It also considers how digital transformation and artificial intelligence can contribute to the planning, monitoring and management of modern drainage projects.

The book addresses the growing pressures placed on drainage infrastructure by rapid urbanisation, climate change and inadequate water management systems. Alongside structural interventions such as subsurface drains, pumping stations and flood protection works, it discusses non-structural approaches including monitoring, forecasting, planning and policy frameworks. These perspectives make the book particularly relevant to contemporary efforts towards flood mitigation, resilient infrastructure and sustainable water resource development.

With its broad coverage and practical orientation, Drainage Engineering is designed to serve students, researchers, consultants and practising engineers. It can also provide a useful reference for professionals involved in infrastructure planning, irrigation, flood management, groundwater recharge and environmental water management.

The book reflects Dr. Singh’s extensive professional experience in irrigation, drainage and water resource management. Rather than limiting drainage engineering to a single application, it approaches the discipline as a wide-ranging field requiring coordination between engineering, hydrology, technology, environmental considerations and long-term planning.

Through Drainage Engineering, Dr. O. P. Singh seeks to bring together knowledge accumulated through decades of research, consultancy and work on water management projects in India and abroad. The book is intended not only as a technical reference but also as a means of sharing professional experience and practical knowledge with those working towards more effective solutions to drainage and flood-related challenges.

New Delhi [India], September 8: Vera by Maya is a historical fiction novel that blends lucid dreaming, mystery, romance, and psychological intrigue against the atmospheric backdrop of 1800s London. The story follows a young woman whose fascination with writing and determination to pursue her own dreams lead her into an unusual world where the boundaries between dreams and reality begin to blur.

At the centre of the story is Vera, a woman who is determined to become an author while resisting the expectations surrounding marriage and conventional life. Her experiences with lucid dreaming introduce an extraordinary dimension to her journey, as she begins to explore a subconscious realm that appears to have consequences beyond the boundaries of sleep.

As Vera becomes increasingly curious about the mysterious death of a man, her journey takes an unexpected turn. Her investigation brings her into contact with a psychologist, adding another layer of mystery and psychological complexity to the narrative. The encounters and discoveries that follow challenge Vera to question what is real, what belongs to the subconscious, and how deeply the two can influence one another.

The novel also explores the emotional conflict of pursuing a dream while confronting doubts about one’s own worth. Vera’s desire to write and her determination to follow her curiosity reflect a broader struggle faced by individuals who hesitate to embrace their creative potential because of expectations imposed by others.

Maya’s interest in fiction and fantasy inspired her to bring an imaginative world to the page. She describes the decision to write Vera as the result of finally giving in to an urge she had suppressed for a long time. The result is a story that invites readers to step beyond ordinary perceptions of reality and explore the possibilities hidden within the human imagination.

With its combination of historical fiction, dream exploration, mystery, and romance, Vera is aimed particularly at readers drawn to stories that merge the psychological with the fantastical. Rather than presenting a straightforward journey, the novel encourages readers to accompany Vera as she navigates strange experiences, unanswered questions, and her own ambitions.

For Maya, the publication of Vera represents the realisation of a dream she had been carrying for a long time. Her message to aspiring writers is simple: keep writing, because it can be worth it one day. The novel is ultimately an invitation to readers to enter an imaginative world shaped by dreams, curiosity, and the courage to pursue a creative calling.

New Delhi [India], September 8: Growth that Offers 612 Concise Insights. In the midst of demanding routines, personal responsibilities and the pressures of modern life, people often look for simple ways to manage challenges, maintain perspective and lead more fulfilling lives. Practical wisdom presented in an accessible form can offer readers an opportunity to pause, reflect and reconsider how they approach everyday situations.

Against this backdrop, Iconic Indian by Dr Sravani Saha Nakhro brings together 612 concise and easy-to-read insights intended for readers who wish to live their best lives. Published by BlueRose Publishers, the book is the result of more than a decade of writing and compilation, reflecting the author’s observations and learning accumulated over the course of her life.

The idea for the book was inspired by the author’s late father, who encouraged her to put her thoughts into writing. Dr Sravani Saha Nakhro began writing at around the age of 37 and continued working on the collection for more than a decade before bringing it together as a book. Publishing her first book at 54 has become a personal milestone for the author, representing both a creative achievement and an opportunity to reflect on half a century of life.

Rather than presenting lengthy explanations, Iconic Indian uses concise quotes and observations that readers can read, understand and reflect upon at their own pace. The book explores simple approaches to some of life’s complex concerns, including stress, worry, personal fulfilment and the pursuit of a meaningful life. One of its central intentions is to remind readers of their own potential and greatness.

The book’s accessible format allows individual insights to stand independently, making it possible for readers to return to particular thoughts whenever they find them relevant. Its emphasis on simplicity also makes it suitable for readers who prefer short, reflective passages rather than conventional long-form discussions on personal development.

The author’s perspective has been shaped by her professional life as a medical practitioner as well as her experiences of interacting with people from different cultures and communities. Her interests in reading, soulful music, travel and conversations with people have also contributed to the observations that form part of her writing journey.

At a time when personal well-being and meaningful living remain important concerns for people across generations, Iconic Indian offers readers a collection of reflections that can be approached one insight at a time. The book encourages readers to recognise their individual potential, find greater value in their journey and consider how they can contribute their own creativity and ideas to the world.

New Delhi [India], September 7: As India observes National Nutrition Week from 1st to 7th September, the focus on making healthier and more nutritious food choices becomes especially relevant. While people often focus on planning balanced meals, the nutritional value of the snacks they choose between meals is frequently overlooked. In today’s fast-paced lifestyles, snacking has become a regular part of the day, making it important to choose options that offer both convenience and nutritional value.

Chilean Prunes are gaining recognition as a wholesome, nutrient-dense addition to daily eating habits. Naturally flavourful and versatile, prunes provide essential dietary fibre along with vital nutrients such as iron, potassium, boron, and vitamins A, C, and K. These nutrients work together to help manage appetite, support healthy digestion, and provide sustained daily energy, making Chilean Prunes a smart choice for mindful snacking.

According to Kavita Devgan, leading dietitian, holistic health consultant, and eminent author, “Good nutrition is not just about the major meals we eat, but also the choices we make between them. Prunes naturally provide dietary fibre along with important vitamins and minerals such as iron, potassium, and boron, making them a nourishing addition to everyday diets.”

India has no commercial production of prunes and demand is met through imports. Chile is a major supplier to the Indian market.

Chile’s unique geography, bordered by the Atacama Desert, the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, and Antarctica, creates ideal climatic conditions for producing premium-quality prunes. Carefully grown and harvested to preserve their natural flavour, texture, and nutritional value, Chilean prunes are recognized globally for their quality and taste.

Mr. Sumit Saran, India Representative of Chilean Prunes, remarked, “Chile is known as one of the world’s largest growers and suppliers of prunes. Chilean prunes are recognized globally for their high quality and nutritional benefits. Just visit your dry fruit retailer or order online, Chilean prunes are easily available in India.”

Their nutritional value, versatility, and naturally delicious taste make Chilean prunes an easy addition to everyday eating habits.

The expansion reflects the company’s focus on giving travelers a wider choice of destinations while maintaining a personalized approach to travel planning.

The company’s international tour packages are designed for different travel preferences, including family holidays, honeymoon trips, group vacations, sightseeing-focused journeys, and customized international itineraries. Rather than limiting travelers to a fixed travel format, Nature Hospitality focuses on building trips around individual budgets, travel dates, preferred destinations, accommodation requirements, and sightseeing interests.

Among its growing international offerings are Paris tour packages featuring attractions such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, and Seine River. Travelers looking for a broader European experience can explore Europe tour packages covering destinations across France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Spain.

For travelers interested in scenic landscapes and alpine experiences, Switzerland tour packages offer an opportunity to explore the country’s mountains, lakes, cities, and popular tourist attractions. These packages can also be customized depending on whether travelers are planning a honeymoon, family vacation, or group holiday.

The international portfolio also extends beyond Europe. Nature Hospitality offers USA tour packages covering popular destinations such as New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Miami.

Japan is another important addition to the company’s international travel portfolio. Japan tour packages can include Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Mount Fuji, allowing travelers to experience the country’s combination of modern city life, traditional culture, historic attractions, and scenic landscapes.

For travelers seeking a combination of luxury, entertainment, shopping, and adventure, Dubai tour packages remain an attractive option.

South Africa adds another dimension to the company’s international holiday offerings. South Africa tour packages can combine Cape Town, Johannesburg, and wildlife experiences, giving travelers the opportunity to explore the country’s cities, landscapes, and safari destinations.

“Our clients have been asking for the same kind of planning and support they received for their domestic holidays, but for international destinations. This expansion allows us to bring that personalized approach to international travel as well,” said Nature Hospitality.

A key focus of the company’s international travel services is customization. Travelers can discuss their preferred destination, budget, travel dates, accommodation preferences, activities, and sightseeing requirements with the Nature Hospitality team before finalizing their itinerary. This approach is intended to make international holiday planning more flexible rather than restricting travelers to standardized packages.

Nature Hospitality’s website highlights personalized travel planning, flexible travel solutions, customer support, and a focus on comfort and travel experiences. The company was established in 2014 with the objective of providing flexible and customer-focused travel solutions.

The company’s expansion into international tour packages comes as travelers increasingly look beyond traditional domestic holidays for longer and more diverse vacation experiences. From European city breaks and Swiss landscapes to Dubai’s modern attractions, Japan’s cultural heritage, Australia’s coastal destinations, America’s major cities, and South Africa’s wildlife experiences, the international portfolio gives travelers multiple options under one travel brand.

With international travel now becoming a significant part of its offering, Nature Hospitality aims to make global holiday planning more accessible through destination-focused packages and customized itineraries. The company plans to continue expanding its international destination portfolio while maintaining its focus on personalized planning and customer support.

Travelers planning international holidays, honeymoon trips, family vacations, group tours, or customized overseas itineraries can explore Nature Hospitality’s international tour packages and connect with its travel team for personalized assistance.

Founded by IIT Kharagpur alumnus and FMCG veteran Dilip Meena, RHF is building something few rural startups attempt: a portfolio of hyper-local, single-product brands that take the region’s most beloved traditional delicacies — guava products, gazak, and kheer mohan — and give each one a national digital storefront, modern packaging, and a supply chain that keeps money circulating in the local economy.

The Problem: Great Products, No Market

Sawai Madhopur and Karauli districts have long produced some of Rajasthan’s finest regional foods. Sawai Madhopur’s guava (amrood) is prized across the state. Karauli’s gazak and tilpatti — winter sweets made from sesame and jaggery — carry generations of craft. And kheer mohan, a rich chhena-based sweet, remains a local treasure that rarely travels beyond district borders.

The problem has never been quality. It has been access. Local producers, farmers, and small sweet-makers have had no bridge to buyers outside their immediate geography — leaving seasonal produce underpriced, artisans underpaid, and a rich culinary heritage confined to a few kilometres.

The Solution: One Region, Many Focused Brands

Rather than force these distinct products under a single generic label, RHF has launched dedicated, single-product D2C brands — each celebrating one regional specialty:

• Amroodwala.com — showcasing Sawai Madhopur’s signature guava products, connecting local orchards to a national audience.
• Gazakwala.com — bringing Karauli’s traditional winter gazak and tilpatti to customers across India, preserving an artisanal craft while creating year-round demand.
• Kheermohan.com — putting a beloved regional sweet on the digital map for the first time, giving it a shelf life and reach it never had.

Each brand carries its own identity rooted in local culture, yet all draw on RHF’s shared manufacturing, compliance, and distribution backbone — a model that keeps costs low while letting each product tell its own authentic story.

The Impact: Money That Stays Local

RHF’s approach is designed so economic value flows back into the region:

• For farmers — a reliable, better-priced buyer for guava and other local produce, reducing dependence on distress seasonal sales.
• For artisans and sweet-makers — steady, year-round orders instead of a few weeks of festive demand.
• For local youth — employment in manufacturing, packaging, quality control, and field sales, right at home.
• For the region — a template for how any district in India can convert its unique products into scalable, digital-first brands.

In its first months, RHF’s broader distribution network has already reached over 1,000 retailers — proof that products born in rural Rajasthan can compete on the national stage.

The Vision

“Every district in India has a product the rest of the country would love — it just needs a bridge. We’re building that bridge in Sawai Madhopur and Karauli, and showing that you don’t have to leave your hometown to build something national,” says Dilip Meena, Founder of Rajasthan Healthy Food.

By anchoring modern food entrepreneurship in the soil that grows the products, RHF is demonstrating a replicable rural economic model: preserve the heritage, professionalize the supply chain, and let the internet do the rest.

About Rajasthan Healthy Food
Rajasthan Healthy Food (RHF) is a manufacturing-led healthy snack and regional foods company based in Gangapur City, Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan. Through a family of focused D2C brands, RHF promotes authentic regional products while building sustainable livelihoods for farmers, artisans, and rural youth.

Established in 2018, Om Sai Safeguard Services has built its operations around professional manpower, disciplined security practices, and responsive support. Headquartered in Pune, the company has expanded its service capabilities beyond its home market, serving clients across multiple locations and sectors.

Nagpur’s continued urban and commercial development has created new security requirements for businesses and property owners. Residential projects, corporate offices, educational institutions, hospitals, warehouses, retail establishments, and industrial facilities require security arrangements that are designed around their individual operational needs. As a result, professionally managed Security Services In Nagpur have become increasingly important for organizations seeking dependable protection for people, property, and assets.

A Wide Range of Security Solutions

Om Sai Safeguard Services provides security solutions designed for different types of establishments. Its service portfolio includes industrial security, corporate security, bank security, hotel security, hospital security, residential security, event security, and lady security guard services.

For corporate offices and commercial spaces, trained security personnel can assist with access control, visitor management, premises monitoring, and the protection of company assets. Residential societies and housing complexes, meanwhile, often require a visible security presence, regular patrolling, and proper management of visitors and service personnel.

Industrial sites and warehouses may have different requirements, including perimeter protection, entry and exit monitoring, and safeguarding equipment and materials. By understanding the specific nature of each location, professional Security Services In Nagpur can help clients establish security arrangements suited to their environment.

Focus on Trained Manpower and Quick Response

The quality of security personnel remains one of the most important factors when selecting a security service provider. Om Sai Safeguard Services emphasizes trained manpower and disciplined operational practices as central elements of its approach.

A responsive security team can play an important role in managing unexpected situations and helping clients maintain confidence in their security arrangements.

Om Sai Safeguard Services is also focused on structured staffing support, including a guard replacement commitment intended to help clients address manpower gaps without unnecessary disruption. This approach is particularly important for businesses and facilities that require continuous security coverage.

Combining Physical Security with Technology

Modern security requirements increasingly involve a combination of trained personnel and technology. Along with physical guarding services, Om Sai Safeguard Services supports CCTV monitoring and electronic surveillance solutions that can work alongside on-ground security teams.

CCTV systems can improve visibility across large premises, while trained security personnel can respond to situations and manage access points directly. This combination can provide an additional layer of support for clients looking for comprehensive Security Services In Nagpur.

Flexible Security Coverage for Different Requirements

Every organization has different operating hours and security needs. A commercial office may require security coverage during business hours and at night, while an industrial facility or residential complex may require round-the-clock protection.

Om Sai Safeguard Services offers flexible arrangements with 8-hour, 12-hour, and 24-hour shift options based on client requirements. This flexibility enables businesses, institutions, and property managers to choose security coverage that aligns with their operational schedules.

The company’s experience across different sectors also allows it to develop customized security arrangements rather than following a standard approach for every client.

Growing Beyond Pune

While Om Sai Safeguard Services has developed a strong base in Pune, its operations extend beyond Maharashtra into other parts of India, including Delhi, Telangana, and Madhya Pradesh.

Building construction in the hill areas of Uttarakhand involves several factors that are different from conventional construction on level ground. Steep slopes, varying soil conditions, limited working space, difficult site access and changing weather conditions can influence the execution of a project from its initial stage.

According to Saqib, proper planning before starting construction is essential, particularly when working on sloping sites. Foundation conditions, drainage, slope stability, material transportation and the availability of working space need to be considered according to the requirements of each site.

Structural quality also depends significantly on execution. Correct reinforcement placement, proper alignment, concrete quality, adequate compaction and curing are among the key aspects that require attention during construction.

“Quality construction is not only about selecting good materials. Proper execution, supervision and adherence to engineering practices at every stage are equally important,” Saqib said.

Retaining walls and other slope-support structures are also commonly required in hilly construction. Saqib highlights the importance of proper drainage and water management around such structures, as uncontrolled water accumulation can affect their performance.

He has worked across locations including Bhimtal, Nainital, Nainital, Dhanachuli, Pahadpani, Sheetla, Ramgarh and surrounding areas. Originally from Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, Saqib has built his professional career in Uttarakhand’s mountainous regions.

Alongside his construction work, he shares civil engineering and construction-related information through social media, covering site execution, construction techniques, material practices, safety and basic engineering concepts.

His experience reflects the importance of combining engineering planning, quality execution and site-specific construction methods for safer and more durable building projects in Uttarakhand’s challenging terrain.

Dey’s rise within the party has been steady. Barely months after taking charge of the youth wing under the “People First, Nation First, India First” banner, he has now been handed a broader mandate that goes beyond youth mobilisation to include strengthening the party’s central committee structure. Party insiders say the decision reflects growing confidence in his ability to build grassroots networks and translate organisational directives into on-ground action.

“This is not just a position, it is a responsibility to build the organisation across the country and give the voice of the youth a new direction,” Dey said following the announcement. He added that his immediate priorities would be organisational expansion, deeper youth participation, and highlighting issues that directly affect ordinary citizens.

A Background Rooted in Service

Dey’s political journey did not begin with the Janata Congress Party. Hailing from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, he first built a public profile through the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Seva Samiti, a community welfare organisation he founded that has been active in blood donation drives, cleanliness campaigns, disaster relief, and support for the underprivileged. The organisation’s consistent work in the region earned Dey the Subhash Chandra Bose Icon Award 2025, a recognition of his contribution to social welfare and community development.

Before joining JCP, Dey was also associated with the National Students’ Union of India, where he served as State Vice-Chairman of the Social Media Committee for Odisha. During his tenure, he was part of the coordination team for the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Odisha and held responsibilities within the University President NSUI campus committee, giving him early exposure to large-scale organisational coordination and student politics.

On the academic front, Dey holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA specialising in Human Resources and Marketing, a combination that party colleagues say has shaped his structured approach to organisational planning.

Party’s Push for Youth Leadership

The Janata Congress Party, which has been steadily expanding its footprint, has framed the appointment as part of a larger strategy to bring younger voices into decision-making roles ahead of upcoming state elections, including in Manipur and Goa. The party has also been vocal on regional and cross-border issues, recently expressing solidarity with flood and landslide-affected communities in Nepal, an initiative in which Dey featured prominently as the face of the party’s outreach.

Party leadership, in its formal note of congratulations, said it appreciated Dey’s trust, passion, and dedication toward youth and the nation, adding that his leadership was expected to help empower young people and position them at the forefront of nation-building efforts.

What Comes Next

With the appointment now official, attention turns to how quickly Dey can translate his organisational experience into visible results for JCP. His task list includes expanding the party’s presence in states where it currently has limited structure, strengthening the central committee, and ensuring that youth engagement extends beyond social media messaging into active ground mobilisation.

For a party still building its national identity, the choice of a coordinator with a background in both grassroots social work and structured student politics appears deliberate. Whether this translates into electoral traction remains to be seen, but for now, the appointment has generated visible enthusiasm among party supporters and workers who see it as evidence of the party’s willingness to invest in younger leadership.

Soummodeep Dey’s appointment as National Coordinator adds a new chapter to a career that has moved from community service in Jamshedpur to student politics in Odisha and now to a national role within the Janata Congress Party’s organisational framework.

The Current Numbers

Every employment-based Final Action Date held steady this month except EB-4. For India, three figures matter most:

• EB-2 India: Unavailable for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2026. India’s pro-rated FY2026 allocation has been used, and no further EB-2 numbers will be issued to Indian applicants until the new fiscal year opens on October 1. This is a scheduling pause tied to annual allocation limits, not a change in eligibility or a loss of any applicant’s place in line.
• EB-1 India: October 15, 2022. This date has held for several months. The State Department has noted that continued high demand could affect availability later in the fiscal year, so applicants in this category may want to keep an eye on upcoming bulletins.
• EB-3 India: January 1, 2014 on the Final Action Dates chart, and January 15, 2015 on the more permissive Dates for Filing chart.

There is a genuinely encouraging structural detail here: Congress has confirmed a total FY2026 employment-based ceiling of 186,317 visas — well above the usual 140,000 floor — and the State Department has indicated that the EB-2 India date should advance again once FY2027 numbers become available on October 1. Attorneys generally advise treating this as a positive signal rather than a guarantee, since the October and November bulletins will be the first real indicators of how far the category moves.

Priority Date Retention Through EB-1A: An Option Worth Evaluating

For applicants who already hold an approved EB-2 or National Interest Waiver I-140, one option worth discussing with an attorney is filing for EB-1A, the “extraordinary ability” category. The appeal is priority date retention — a successful EB-1A petition allows an applicant to carry an earlier priority date forward into a category that, on paper, tends to move faster.

That said, EB-1A is not a simple recategorization, and it is worth being clear-eyed about the standard. Petitions are evaluated under 8 C.F.R. § 204.5(h)(3), which sets out ten regulatory criteria, at least three of which must generally be satisfied (or one major internationally recognized award). Petitioners must then satisfy the “final merits determination” — the second half of the two-step framework from Kazarian v. USCIS, 596 F.3d 1115 (9th Cir. 2010), which USCIS has since applied nationwide. This second stage is where a number of otherwise well-documented petitions fall short, because an adjudicator concludes the record does not show sustained acclaim at the top of the field.

There has been a meaningful development on this front. In Mukherji v. Miller (D. Neb., Jan. 28, 2026), a federal district court found that USCIS’s use of the final merits determination was procedurally unlawful under the Administrative Procedure Act, in a case where the agency had conceded the petitioner met the regulatory criteria but denied the petition on subjective grounds. The ruling is not binding nationwide and does not remove the final-merits step from ordinary adjudication, but immigration attorneys view it as a notable and citable precedent for future appeals — and a useful data point for applicants weighing this route.

The key takeaway attorneys emphasize: an approved EB-2 petition is not, by itself, evidence of EB-1A eligibility — the two standards are legally distinct. The recommended first step is a criterion-by-criterion audit of the applicant’s record against the regulatory standard before any petition is filed.

Practical Options While EB-2 India Is Paused

The EB-2 pause is temporary and tied to the fiscal year calendar rather than to any individual case. In the meantime, applicants and their employers have several legitimate paths to keep a case moving or to preserve status:

• Maintain nonimmigrant status through AC21. Applicants with an approved I-140, or whose PERM labor certification or I-140 has been pending for 365 days or more, may be eligible for H-1B extensions beyond the standard six-year limit under sections 106(a) and (b) of the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act (AC21). This is often the most immediate and reliable way to preserve status while a priority date advances.
• Consider the EB-1A route where the record supports it. As discussed above, this can allow priority date retention for applicants who genuinely meet the extraordinary ability standard.
• Evaluate job portability under AC21 §204(j). Once an I-485 has been pending 180 days, applicants may be able to change employers or job duties in a same or similar occupational classification without restarting the process.
• Revisit EB-3 for cases where it offers an earlier effective date. Because EB-2 and EB-3 dates move independently, some cases benefit from a downgrade or a parallel EB-3 filing, depending on the underlying PERM and the applicant’s qualifications.
• For applicants with investment capacity, EB-5 remains a direct, treaty-independent route to a green card, worth discussing as a parallel or alternate strategy rather than a replacement for an employment-based case already in progress.
• File for a Dates for Filing advance where available to submit the I-485, work authorization, and travel documents earlier, even while the Final Action Date has not yet been reached.

None of these substitute for individualized legal advice — the right combination depends on the applicant’s underlying PERM category, employer relationship, and timeline — but they represent the realistic toolkit available to Indian applicants navigating this year’s bulletin.

The Bottom Line

The September bulletin reflects an annual allocation limit reached, not a structural collapse of the India employment-based pipeline. Attorneys reviewing the bulletin advise applicants to treat EB-1A as a genuine but evidence-driven option — one made somewhat stronger by the Mukherji ruling — and to focus practical energy on status-maintenance strategies like AC21 extensions and portability while the October and November bulletins, the first of FY2027, indicate how much movement is actually coming.

Proving this through her inspiring journey is Dr. Renu Ahuja, a Tarot Numerologist Coach and Influencer from Raipur, Chhattisgarh, who has emerged as a powerful example of confidence, resilience and self-belief.

Ms Shruti Shibulal. Mr Manoj Mathew V M Author The World Is Carried Within and Mr S.D. Shibulal, Chairman, Tamara Leisure Experiences and Co-Founder, Infosys.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], September 4: The World Is Carried Within – Eighteen Essays on the Natural World and the Working Life, the latest book by Manoj Mathew V M FIIHM, Senior Vice President – Operations, Tamara Leisure Experiences, was launched at a special event held at the Verandah Boutique Lounge, Tamara Leisure Experiences Headquarters, Bengaluru, on September 3, 2026.

The book, which is Volume I of The Third Eye Series, was inaugurated by Mr S.D. Shibulal, Chairman, Tamara Leisure Experiences and Co-Founder, Infosys. The first copy was presented to Ms Shruti Shibulal.

The launch featured an engaging in-conversation session between the author and Mr Ian Faria, Mind Coach, Corporate Trainer and Leadership Consultant, exploring the experiences and reflections behind the book’s 18 essays. Mr Mahesh Iyer, Principal & Founder of Iyer & Mahesh Architects and creator of The Tamara Coorg and The Tamara Kodai, and Dr. Tapas Mukherjee, former Head of the Department of English, Government College, Bori, District Durg, Chhattisgarh, also addressed the gathering.

Where Nature Becomes a Lens for Understanding Life

The World Is Carried Within brings together 18 literary essays, each beginning with an original wildlife photograph captured by Manoj Mathew across the forests of Coorg and Nagarahole, the pilgrimage coast of Gokarna, and the shoreline of Bentota, Sri Lanka. The photographs serve as the starting point for reflections on nature, human behaviour, organisations, leadership and the inner life.

Rather than presenting nature as a collection of lessons for leadership, the book allows observations from the natural world to lead naturally into questions about people and the working world. Encounters with creatures such as the Coorg snail, potter wasp, Oriental Magpie-Robin, Black Kite, Stork-billed Kingfisher and Indian Pond Heron become points of reflection on behaviour, intelligence, leadership and human experience.

“This is not a nature book. It is not a leadership book. It is a book about seeing.”

Four Decades of Leadership, A Different Way of Seeing

With a hospitality career spanning four decades across India, Zambia and Sri Lanka, including 33 years with the Taj Group, Manoj Mathew brings to the book an operational perspective shaped by years of observing people, organisations and behaviour. He currently serves as Senior Vice President – Operations at Tamara Leisure Experiences.

The book moves through four thematic movements — The Forest, The Organisation, The Shore and The Opening — taking readers from close observation of the natural world to reflections on organisations, working life and the deeper questions of living and leading.

Speaking about the book, Manoj Mathew said:

“I did not set out to write a book about leadership, and I did not set out to write a book about nature. I set out, as always, with a camera. The photographs came first, and what they showed was not always what I had seen. That is where the essays began.”

Author’s Fourth Book

The World Is Carried Within is Manoj Mathew’s fourth book and follows his Dead Reckoning trilogy — Journey Without Maps, Where the Map Ends, and Landfall. Together, the books reflect his long engagement with leadership, hospitality, human behaviour and the experiences that shape working life.

The book is published by Quiet Compass Press and features 18 essays accompanied by 18 original wildlife photographs. It is available as a standard trade paperback, along with a limited edition of 125 signed hardcover copies.
