New Delhi [India], August 19: Wealth Manager Ankit Yadav, Director of Market Maestroo, addressed investors at the annual 15 August Financial Freedom Event, continuing a tradition that began around a decade ago. The Independence Day programme has grown into a major digital gathering for the Market Maestroo investor community, with lakhs of investors joining across different editions over the years.

The event is organised completely free of cost every year and focuses on financial education, value investing, market outlook, IPOs, taxation, wealth creation and long-term investing.

For Ankit Yadav and the Market Maestroo community, 15 August represents two ideas together—India’s independence and the financial independence of Indian families.

The message of this year’s event remained simple: “Ab Financial Independent Banega India.”

Who is Wealth Manager Ankit Yadav?

Ankit Yadav is the Director of Market Maestroo and is associated with its SEBI-registered Research Analyst operations. He has built a significant following among stock-market investors through digital and social-media platforms and is particularly known among his audience for value investing, fundamental research, intrinsic-value calculations and IPO analysis.

Over the years, Ankit Yadav has focused heavily on explaining investing in simple language so that retail investors can understand businesses and valuations rather than depend entirely on market tips.

In his 15 August address, Ankit Yadav said that he has been connected with the stock market for more than two decades and has witnessed several major market cycles. The annual 15 August programme itself has now completed around a decade.

Market Maestroo also undertakes social-welfare activities through its foundation, combining its financial-education mission with initiatives aimed at giving back to society.

Financial Education Should Become a National Priority

One of the biggest messages from Wealth Manager Ankit Yadav this year was the need for financial education across India.

Ankit Yadav said financial literacy should be treated as one of the country’s most important priorities.

His argument is straightforward: if people become financially educated, they can create stronger financial foundations for their families. This can eventually help them afford better healthcare, better education and a better quality of life without remaining completely dependent on others.

According to Ankit Yadav, financial education is not about simply knowing which stock to buy. Investors should learn how to save, understand valuations, manage risk, identify good businesses and remain invested for the long term.

During the event, he repeatedly explained valuation calculations and encouraged investors to understand why they are investing rather than blindly following recommendations.

Indian Equities at Rare Valuations, Says Ankit Yadav

Another important highlight was Wealth Manager Ankit Yadav’s outlook on Indian equities.

According to Ankit Yadav, parts of the Indian equity market currently appear to be trading at some of their most attractive valuation levels of the last 10–15 years, based on valuation measures he follows.

During the programme, Ankit Yadav discussed Nifty valuations, earnings yield and the importance of buying when valuations become attractive rather than chasing markets after prices have already risen sharply.

Ankit Yadav expects Indian equities to have the capacity to generate around 12–15% annualised returns over the coming decade, subject to economic growth, corporate earnings, valuations, interest rates, taxation and market conditions. This represents his long-term expectation and not a guaranteed return.

He also believes that if taxation on equities is rationalised, Indian markets could attract stronger long-term participation and the Sensex and Nifty could potentially reach new levels in the years ahead.

Ankit Yadav Seeks Greater Transparency in IPO Allotments

IPO allotment was another important subject discussed during the event.

Ankit Yadav called for greater transparency in India’s IPO allotment process, particularly as retail participation in major public issues continues to increase.

He suggested that IPO registrars could consider publishing downloadable allotment data with sensitive information appropriately masked. For example, only limited digits of PAN details could be displayed so investors can verify allotment data without exposing complete personal information.

Ankit Yadav said such a system could improve investor confidence and make the IPO allotment process easier for the public to understand.

He also indicated that he intends to put this suggestion before relevant exchanges, regulators and registrars.

Call for Equity Tax Reforms

Taxation was another key issue raised by Wealth Manager Ankit Yadav.

Ankit Yadav believes taxation on equity investing needs to be rationalised if India wants to encourage more people to become long-term investors.

Among his proposals, he called for the removal of LTCG tax on listed equities and reconsideration of stamp duty on equity transactions.

These are policy suggestions made by Ankit Yadav and not announced changes in government policy.

According to him, lower and simpler taxation could encourage household savings to move towards productive investments and help strengthen India’s long-term investment culture.

A Free Financial Event for the Investor Community

One thing that has remained unchanged throughout the journey is that the 15 August event is completely free.

For around 10 years, investors have joined the annual programme to understand markets, value investing, IPOs, taxation, sectors and wealth-creation principles. The event script itself traces the annual tradition from 2017 to 2026 and recalls the investment discussions held during previous editions.

Ankit Yadav also uses the Independence Day platform each year to make special announcements for the investor community. This year, financial education and improving investor awareness remained at the heart of the programme.

Was This Wealth Manager Ankit Yadav’s Last 15 August AGM?

The 2026 event also ended with an important question about the future.

There has been discussion around Ankit Yadav taking on larger international and academic responsibilities, including work associated with Oxford. This has created speculation that the 2026 edition could be his final annual 15 August investor gathering in its present format.

There is, however, no final official confirmation that the annual event has permanently ended.

If it does prove to be the conclusion of this 10-year journey, Ankit Yadav’s message to investors remains clear: India’s next financial revolution will not come from simply finding the next successful stock—it will come from creating financially educated Indian families.

“Political independence made India free. Financial education can make Indian families financially independent.”

Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], August 19: Independence is not only about remembering the freedom we fought for. It is also about recognising the responsibility we carry towards the society we are a part of. In the early hours of our 80th Independence Day, 200+ students and young individuals took to the streets to drive the student-led initiative to clean the path from the university campus to Waghodia Chowk. Turning their collective voice into visible action, these students came together to clean the road and the surroundings and collected 8 tractors worth of waste and garbage.

Standing with its students, the Vadodara-based Parul University extended its full support to the initiative. At its heart, the drive was about more than just picking garbage or cleaning the road, it was about starting a conversation on what it means to take ownership of the spaces we live, study and grow in. The drive was not being organised as a one-time event, but it aimed to serve as a statement on the role that the educational institutions and young citizens have to play in maintaining public hygiene and civic spaces.

Often described as temples of learning, educational institutions are where minds are shaped and futures are built and should, therefore, be regarded with the same reverence as places of worship. Just as the sacredness of a temple is reflected in the cleanliness of its premises and the ground it stands on, a university’s surroundings deserve the same care and respect. This belief formed the core of the drive; that a space that is so central to growth and knowledge cannot be separated from the road that leads to it and in choosing to clean the 12km stretch, the students extended this idea of a sacred space beyond the classrooms.

A clean environment is closely connected to everyday health, wellbeing and quality of life. Littered public spaces affect not only how a place looks, but also how people experience it. By taking the initiative to pick up garbage from the road leading to the university, the students hoped, through this drive, to urge people to look at cleanliness as a shared civic responsibility. More importantly, the initiative was a true reflection of the power young people have when they come together for a cause as significant is this.

One student’s concern can become an idea. A group of students can turn that idea into action. And when that action inspires others, it can become a movement. Because what began as an individual act of picking up litter and garbage became a visible and meaningful display of youth-led change when hundreds of students and young people come together.

“Being part of this cleanliness drive made me realize that patriotism can be shown through everyday things also. Like picking up waste, cleaning our surroundings, and working alongside other students. It may seem like small matters, but when an entire group comes together, the effect feels way larger. It was a meaningful way to spend Independence Day, because we were not only celebrating our country, we were also doing something for it” said Piyush Yadav, who participated in this cleanliness drive.

Adding to it, Rahul Raj, who posted on Instagram urging other people to join together in this movement, said, “I felt Independence Day should not just be about celebrating the freedom we get, but also taking responsibility for the place we live in. I wanted to turn that idea into real action, so I reached out to fellow students through my video and brought them together for this cleanliness drive. Honestly, when I saw so many students willingly come forward and contribute, it made me think that even a small initiative can light a spark for a group effort. For us, doing our bit for India meant starting right here, where we are”.

Taking place on Independence Day added another dimension to the initiative. The spirit of independence has always been intertwined with collective action and the belief that ordinary individuals, when united by a common purpose, can create extraordinary change. By choosing action over awareness, the students incorporated spirit into the present.

This cleanliness drive is more than just an exercise, it’s a reflection of the growing sense of civic consciousness in today’s youth. And this cleanliness drive is expected to serve as a reminder that change can begin with small, collective acts of responsibility, and that the youth of the country are ready to lead by example.

As the students stepped out at the early hours of 80th Independence Day, this cleanliness journey seemed more than a cleanliness drive. It was a statement of civil responsibility driven by youth participation and collective action. Because a cleaner India does not begin somewhere far away. It begins with each of us, right where we are.

New Delhi [India], August 19: The film will release on Waves OTT on 21st of August, 2026

In an era where whispers were dangerous and silence was mandated, one extraordinary invention almost changed the history of the country. Spherecho Productions is proud to announce the upcoming release of Dial 1975, an electrifying human thriller that explores how, in one of the most turbulent periods in India’s history, the need to communicate freely became the driving force behind an invention that could change everything.

Set against the high-stakes, politically charged backdrop of the 1975 Emergency, the film is far more than a history lesson; it is a raw, emotional journey of survival, desperation and the human instinct to connect. While the nation finds itself paralysed by uncertainty, the story turns its focus to those whose lives become intertwined with a revolutionary prototype, India’s first wireless phone.

This isn’t just a piece of technology; it becomes the ultimate tool of hope and a catalyst for chaos. As communication is restricted across the country, the device becomes the most coveted object in the land, sparking a deadly, high-stakes scramble among factions who will go to any lengths to possess it. At its heart, Dial 1975 explores the extraordinary lengths people will go to when the freedom to communicate is taken away.

The film boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast led by the incomparable Kay Kay Menon, Kirti Kulhari, Pravessh Rana, Vishwanath Chatterjee and Shubham Vardhan. Together, they bring to life a layered narrative of shifting loyalties and conflicting motivations, with these very tensions driving the story forward and keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.

Directed by the visionary duo Navneet Behal and Vibhu Kashyap and produced by Ranaksh Rana, Niranjan Das, and Kabir Lovee, co-produced by Shamsi Abbas Razvi and Megha Rana as the Creative Director, Dial 1975 is a cinematic race against time. The film’s tense, atmospheric world is heightened by the sharp editing of Som Chavan, an electrifying score by Moses Christopher, and the striking cinematography of Dani Salo.

Prepare for a thriller that captures the paranoia of an era, the urgency of human connection and the thrill of a revolution. When the world goes silent, how far would you go to make one phone call?

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 19: The Maharashtra Flat Owners Welfare Association (MFOWA) on Tuesday held a press conference at its Andheri headquarters to discuss the way forward for flat purchasers associated with the Chadha Residency project at Karav–Shil, Ambernath, with a focus on constructive engagement, project progress and timely completion.

MFOWA said the association’s primary objective is to create a positive platform for dialogue between flat purchasers and the project stakeholders, helping address practical concerns and support the smooth completion of the project.

The Association noted that an Agreement for Sale available with it had indicated March 31, 2026 as the possession date. MFOWA said the focus now should be on maintaining momentum, completing the remaining work and establishing a practical roadmap that gives purchasers greater confidence about the path ahead.

Working Towards a Positive Resolution

The Association has called for a detailed discussion on the project’s current construction progress, the work remaining across different areas and the steps required to move towards completion.

MFOWA said purchasers would particularly benefit from regular and transparent updates on construction activity, essential facilities and the overall development timeline. The Association believes that better communication can help reduce uncertainty and allow families to plan their next steps with greater confidence.

The Association also highlighted the importance of completing key facilities and common infrastructure, including water supply, electricity, drainage, roads, lifts, fire-safety arrangements and other amenities required for comfortable living.

Focus on Transparency and Coordination

MFOWA has expressed its willingness to participate in discussions with the developer, project professionals, financial institutions wherever necessary and representatives of flat purchasers to identify practical solutions and support the project’s progress.

According to MFOWA, the objective is to establish a clear, realistic and time-bound roadmap covering the remaining work and the transition towards possession.

The Association believes that regular communication between stakeholders can also help purchasers better understand construction milestones, financial commitments and the sequence of activities leading up to completion.

Continued Efforts Towards Amicable Engagement

MFOWA stated that it had earlier invited the developer for a Friendly Amicable Settlement Meeting through Mediation to discuss the project’s progress, remaining work, financial matters and a possible possession plan.

The Association said it remains committed to keeping the dialogue constructive and solution-oriented. It believes that continued engagement can help create common ground and accelerate progress on matters important to purchasers.

MFOWA also acknowledged that completing a residential project of this scale involves coordination across multiple areas. The Association said its intention is to support that process by bringing purchaser concerns into a structured and constructive conversation.

A Shared Goal: Homes Ready for Families

MFOWA emphasised that flat purchasers and project stakeholders ultimately share a common objective: seeing the project completed and families moving into their homes with confidence.

MFOWA expressed hope that the ongoing dialogue will result in a clear way forward for Chadha Residency and help bring the project closer to completion, enabling eligible purchasers to look forward to their homes and a more secure future.

The Association reiterated its commitment to constructive engagement and said it remains ready to work with all stakeholders towards a positive, practical and mutually acceptable outcome for the Chadha Residency community.

The company made the disclosure on August 19, 2026, under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Sarabha Nagar campus also named among the Top 25 Emerging Schools nationally, capping a milestone year for the CBSE-affiliated institution

Ludhiana (Punjab) [India], August 19: The Shri Ram Universal School (TSUS), Sarabha Nagar, Ludhiana, has been ranked the best school in Ludhiana and Punjab and placed among the Top 10 Schools in India in the Cfore 2026 school survey, one of the country’s longest-running independent appraisals of school performance. The same survey also listed TSUS Ludhiana among India’s Top 25 Emerging Schools, recognising it as one of the fastest-improving institutions in its category nationwide.

Cfore is a multidisciplinary research organisation that conducts an annual, independent performance appraisal of schools across India, evaluating institutions on parameters ranging from academic outcomes and infrastructure to teaching quality and student development. This year’s Punjab-topping, India Top-10 placement puts TSUS Ludhiana ahead of several long-established institutions in the region — a result the school’s leadership attributes to a curriculum built around both academic rigour and future-ready skills.

“This recognition belongs to our teachers, our students and the parents who trusted us with their children’s most formative years,” said Ramandeep, Director of TSUS Ludhiana. “We set out to build a school where a child masters the CBSE fundamentals without losing the curiosity, creativity and confidence they’ll need for a world that is changing faster than any curriculum can predict. Being named the top school in Punjab tells us that approach is working — and it raises the bar for what we ask of ourselves next year.”

TSUS Ludhiana is part of the Shri Ram Education legacy, a group with roots going back to 1923 that today spans more than 50 schools across 20-plus cities and nine states in India, educating over 70,000 students through a network of more than 2,500 teachers. The Ludhiana campus operates under the mentorship of Shri Educare Ltd. and is fully affiliated to the CBSE board, offering education from Nursery through Grade IX with plans to scale further as its founding cohorts advance.

The school’s early years programme — led by trained ECCE educators at a 1:12 teacher-to-child ratio — runs alongside a Grade I onward curriculum built around nine dedicated future-skill tracks, including robotics and AI, machine learning, drone technology, rocketry and design thinking, taught in dedicated labs rather than as after-school add-ons. The school also holds a 4.9-out-of-5 parent rating in Ludhiana, alongside CBSE affiliation, round-the-clock CCTV monitoring and safety-certified campus protocols.

With admissions for the 2026–27 session open for Nursery through Grade IX, the school’s leadership says the Cfore recognition will inform its next phase of investment — expanding lab infrastructure, deepening teacher training, and extending its project-led learning model further across grades.

About The Shri Ram Universal School, Ludhiana

The Shri Ram Universal School, Sarabha Nagar, is a CBSE-affiliated institution educating students from Nursery to Grade IX under the mentorship of Shri Educare Ltd., part of the Shri Ram Education legacy established in 1923. Its mission — “Educating for Life. Every Child. Every Day” — anchors a curriculum combining academic fundamentals with a nine-track future-skills programme spanning robotics, AI, design thinking and communication.

Navsari (Gujarat) [India], August 18: During the 80th Independence Day, Ajay’s Café, one of India’s leading Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) brands and fastest-growing vegetarian café chains, recognised women entrepreneurs running businesses through its franchise network at its Ajay’s Udaan event held. The initiative highlights how entrepreneurship can create a pathway from independence to financial independence by enabling more women to own businesses.

Around 40 women are currently running Ajay’s Café outlets as franchise partners across different cities. For many of them, their association with Ajay’s marks their first experience of owning a business.

Through its franchise model, Ajay’s Café provides aspiring entrepreneurs with an established business format and operational support in the form of training, technology, supply chain, and marketing, enabling them to take on the responsibilities of running an enterprise. For these entrepreneurs, business ownership represents greater financial independence while contributing to the economy.

Speaking on the occasion, Ajay Solanki, Founder, Ajay’s Café, said, “Independence gives us the freedom to make our own choices, while financial independence gives us the ability to act on those choices. What makes this journey special is that many of our women franchise partners started their first business with us. Today, they are not only running businesses, but also managing teams, creating jobs, and making crucial financial decisions. We believe entrepreneurship can give women a greater sense of economic choice, and we are proud to be a part of their journey.”

Ajay’s Café, known for its burgers, cold coffee and affordable café offerings, has over 265+ outlets across Gujarat and Rajasthan. Its growing base of women franchise partners is playing a key role in the brand’s expansion into new locations.

As India marks another Independence Day, the journeys of these women reflect a broader dimension of independence, where the freedom to choose is complemented by the ability to build, earn and create opportunities through entrepreneurship.

New Delhi [India], August 19: PC Jeweller Limited (BSE: 534809, NSE: PCJEWELLER) has taken another step toward its long-stated goal of becoming a debt-free company, informing stock exchanges today that it has cleared and repaid the entire outstanding debt owed to one more bank under its Settlement Agreement dated September 30, 2024.

With this latest repayment, the jewellery retailer has now fully settled dues with *8 of its 14 consortium banks, and notably, every one of these repayments has come in *ahead of the scheduled due dates — a detail the company has been keen to highlight as it works to rebuild confidence with investors and lenders alike.

Where things stand with the remaining lenders

The company isn’t stopping there. In its filing, PC Jeweller said it has already discharged more than 96% of the outstanding debt owed to the six banks that are yet to be fully settled. That leaves less than 4% of dues pending with this group — a relatively small amount in the context of the overall consortium debt the company has been working through.

Management reiterated that it remains “firmly on track” to clear this remaining balance and achieve a debt-free status within the current quarter itself, a milestone that, if achieved, would mark the end of a debt overhang that has weighed on the stock for years.

Why this matters for investors

A company shedding its entire consortium debt is a big deal, especially for a stock that’s been closely tracked by retail investors for its turnaround story. A debt-free balance sheet typically means:

• Lower interest costs, which can flow directly into improved profitability
• Stronger financial flexibility to fund working capital and expansion without leaning on banks
• A cleaner credit profile, which could open doors to fresh financing on better terms if needed in the future
• Improved investor sentiment, as debt overhang concerns are often a key reason a stock trades at a discount

The company itself acknowledged this in its communication, noting that the move “will materially strengthen its balance sheet and financial position.”

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 19: Marwari Sanskriti Manch marked India’s Independence Day with a special patriotic musical tribute, bringing together music, culture and community in a celebration of the country’s freedom and shared national spirit. The occasion was graced by distinguished dignitaries and members of the Marwari Sanskriti Manch to commemorate the occasion and reflect on the values of unity, diversity and collective responsibility.

New Delhi [India], August 19: In the pursuit of holistic health, nature often provides the most effective solutions. While cranberries are celebrated for their vibrant flavor and high vitamin content, emerging scientific research is shining a spotlight on their sophisticated role as a protective ally for both oral and digestive health. By leveraging unique natural compounds, cranberries offer a simple, enjoyable way to fortify the body’s internal defenses from the mouth down to the gut.

Guarding the Gateway: Oral Health Protection

The journey of wellness begins at the mouth, which serves as the entry point for both nourishment and potential pathogens. Cranberries contain specialized polyphenols known as proanthocyanidins (PACs), which act as a natural defense system.

Much like their protective role in the stomach, these PACs inhibit the ability of harmful bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans, the primary culprit in tooth decay—to adhere to tooth enamel and gums. By disrupting the formation of biofilms and plaque, cranberries help maintain a cleaner oral environment. This non-invasive, anti-adhesion approach supports gum health and reduces the risk of dental complications, providing a natural complement to daily oral hygiene routines.

Beyond the Stomach: Strengthening the Gut

The benefits of cranberries extend deep into the digestive tract, offering critical support in regions where bacterial challenges are common.

Research indicates that cranberry-derived PACs prevent bacteria from anchoring to the stomach lining, effectively reducing the risk of inflammation and infection without the use of antibiotics. This is a significant advantage in an era of growing antibiotic resistance, as cranberries provide a well-tolerated, natural alternative that does not disturb the body’s delicate microbial balance.

Furthermore, cranberries act as a potent prebiotic. Their unique combination of fiber and polyphenols nurtures beneficial gut bacteria, such as Bacteroidetes, while promoting the production of essential short-chain fatty acids. This supports gut barrier integrity—the “gatekeeper” function that prevents harmful molecules from entering the bloodstream and triggering systemic inflammation.

Digestion and oral health are deeply interconnected, forming the foundation for overall immunity and long-term well-being. By maintaining microbial diversity and strengthening structural barriers, cranberries play an essential role in keeping the body’s “invisible systems” running smoothly.

Integrating cranberry products into the daily diet—whether through a morning glass of 100 percent cranberry juice, a handful of dried cranberries in breakfast bowls, or fresh additions to salads—is a simple, delicious step toward better health. In a landscape often crowded with complex health solutions, cranberries offer a time-tested, science-backed approach to keeping both the smile bright and the gut resilient.

Abhishek Rungta, Founder & CEO of INT. (Indus Net Technologies Ltd.)

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 19: Every major technology shift produces two kinds of enterprise leaders. The first kind watches, waits, and builds conviction from evidence before committing. The second kind mistakes observation for strategy and arrives at the decision too late to shape it.

For most technology transitions over the last three decades, the first kind of leader was right. Cloud migration rewarded patience. Mobile commerce gave enterprises years to watch consumer behaviour before demanding a response. The observation window was real, and the enterprises that used it wisely built more durable capabilities than the ones that moved on instinct alone.

Q1. You’ve framed Agentic AI as a question CEOs should have already answered. What makes this different from previous technology cycles, where companies had more time to observe before acting?

Previous technology shifts gave enterprises a runway to watch and wait. Cloud migration took a decade to mature from early adopter to mainstream. Agentic AI does not offer that luxury. Gartner projects that 40 percent of enterprise applications will carry task-specific AI agents by the end of this year, up from less than 5 percent in 2025. That is not a gradual curve, it is a compressed window.

Q2. When you say CEOs need to “answer the question,” what exactly is the question? Is it whether to adopt Agentic AI, or something more specific?

The real question is whether the organisation has decided what Agentic AI is actually meant to do inside their specific business, which processes it will own end to end, what level of autonomy it is given, and who is accountable when it acts. Most CEOs have answered the adoption question. Very few have answered the architecture question.

Q3. Many CEOs believe they have already answered this question because their organisation is running pilots. Why is that often a false signal?

Because a pilot answers a technical question, not a strategic one. It tells you nothing about whether your data is ready, whether your legacy systems can support autonomous execution, or whether your organisation has the governance structure to let an AI agent make a decision without a human checking it first. A pilot proves possibility. It does not prove readiness.

Q4. Based on what you have seen across enterprise engagements, what is the single clearest signal that a company is actually ready for Agentic AI, versus one that is not?

It is whether the company can tell me, with precision, what business outcome the agent is supposed to change and how they will measure it before the project starts. The technology readiness is rarely the gap. The clarity of intent is.

Q5. Indian enterprises have moved fast on Generative AI adoption. Why hasn’t that same speed translated into Agentic AI readiness?

Generative AI is forgiving. If a chatbot gives an imperfect answer, a human catches it before anything happens. Agentic AI removes that safety net, because the agent is meant to act, not just suggest. Indian enterprises built confidence quickly with GenAI because the risk of getting it wrong was low. Agentic AI demands the opposite, you need to be right before you let it run, not after.

Q6. You have spoken about enterprises grafting AI onto legacy processes rather than rebuilding around it. Can you describe what that failure looks like in practice?

A customer asks an AI agent to resolve a complaint, the agent gathers the information beautifully, and then hands it off to the exact same five-step manual approval chain that existed before the AI arrived. Nothing about the underlying workflow changed. The enterprise spent money on AI and kept its old bottleneck. That is not transformation, it is decoration.

Q7. If a CEO came to you today and said, “I am ready to answer this question properly,” what would you tell them to do first?

Pick one process, not ten, and define exactly what success looks like before any technology conversation happens. Get your data architecture assessed honestly, most leaders overestimate how ready their data actually is. Decide who in the organisation owns the outcome, not just the technology rollout.

Q8. What role should the CFO play in this decision, given that ROI measurement has been such a persistent challenge industry-wide?

The CFO has to be in the room from day one, not brought in at the review stage to evaluate what already happened. A CFO who insists on a measurable outcome and a baseline before approving budget changes the entire trajectory of the project.

Q9. You have built INT.’s AI and digital practice around this exact transition, spanning conversational AI, enterprise knowledge intelligence, and workforce learning. What did building this portfolio teach you about what enterprises actually need versus what they think they need?

This pattern shows up with OneSpace, which acts as a company’s brain – and an operating system for AI transformation. The real problem is that the information lives in ten disconnected systems, ERP, CRM, HRMS, documents, email, with no shared layer underneath. OneSpace acts as the second brain of the organisation, connecting all of it so the right answer reaches the right person instantly, with the source cited.

What enterprises think they need is the newest AI capability. What they actually need is integration depth, the unglamorous work of making AI function reliably inside a complex, regulated environment.

Q10. Eighteen months from now, what will separate the Indian enterprises that made the right call on Agentic AI from those that did not?

It will not be who deployed the most agents. It will be who can point to a specific business outcome and say, with data, that it changed because of this technology. Gartner itself expects more than 40 percent of agentic AI projects to be cancelled by 2027 due to unclear value or weak governance. Eighteen months from now, the winners will be the companies that treated this as an architecture decision in 2026, not the ones that treated it as a procurement decision.

The enterprises that will look back on 2026 as the year they got this right will not be the ones that approved the largest AI budgets or launched the most pilots. They will be the ones whose CEOs asked the harder question: not whether we are using Agentic AI, but whether we have built the conditions under which Agentic AI can actually work.

New Delhi [India], August 18: The first half of 2026 was defined by volatility: currency swings, shifting rate expectations, and geopolitical uncertainty that reshaped how traders positioned across markets. Against that backdrop, VT Markets reported $8 trillion in trading volume for the first half of 2026, up 212% year-over-year.

The momentum is reflected across various key business metrics. Active users grew 70% compared to the second half of 2025 and out of the traders active during the period, 350,000 opened their first trade with VT Markets. Together, the growth reflects a growing adoption of the platform as the go-to choice for traders globally. The growth momentum was further supported by the addition of 39 new US stocks to its offering, and the launch of ClubÉlite, a loyalty programme for Introducing Broker partners that provides elevated access and long-term partnership support.

Where traders put their money reflected the existing volatility. Trading activity was concentrated in gold, silver, and Bitcoin, alongside major FX pairs like EURUSD and USDJPY, and indices NAS100 and DJ30.

The company also connected with traders and partners on the ground across key industry events worldwide, such as its participation at the annual Money Expo Mexico 2026. Adding on, the brand presence was further matched by recognition from the industry, with VT Markets picking up 26 awards during the period, including Best Gold Trading Platform 2026 from Global Financial Market Review.

Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, VT Markets will continue rolling out new product offerings and innovations, including features aimed at extending access beyond traditional trading hours. The company has also launched Gold Cup 2026, a global trading competition running through to its Island Finale, alongside continued enhancements to its gold trading offering. VT Markets will continue to connect with traders through its presence at industry events, sponsorships, and client initiatives across its key markets. With the first half delivering record volume, deposit growth, and industry recognition, VT Markets enters the second half of 2026 positioned for an even stronger performance ahead.

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 18: Reinforcing its commitment to inclusive growth and social progress, SM Steels and Powver Limited, one of Eastern India’s leading industrial conglomerates with a strong presence in steel, power and infrastructure, has partnered with the 15th edition of Aparajita, a distinguished platform dedicated to recognising women who have broken barriers, challenged conventions and created a lasting impact across diverse fields. The grand felicitation ceremony held on August 14, 2026, at JW Marriott Kolkata, brought together distinguished leaders from industry, public life, social development and culture to honour women whose journeys continue to inspire meaningful change.

For SM Steels and Powver Limited, the association with Aparajita reflects a philosophy that extends beyond business excellence. Established with the vision of being a customer-driven, quality-centric and socially responsible organisation, the company believes that meaningful growth is measured not only by industrial achievements but also by its contribution towards creating a more inclusive and progressive society. Supporting platforms that recognise changemakers aligns with its commitment to community development, ethical governance and responsible corporate citizenship.

The event gained added significance as Aparajita celebrated its 15th edition under the theme “सातत्य | Continuum”, symbolising the continuity of courage, resilience and transformative leadership. This year’s edition also marked the launch of the Aparajita Institution, an initiative envisioned to take the platform’s mission beyond annual recognition by creating opportunities, strengthening communities and nurturing future generations of women leaders.

The 2026 edition witnessed an overwhelming response, with hundreds of nominations received from across the country. The nominees represented diverse backgrounds, from entrepreneurs, educators and healthcare professionals to artists, scientists, sportspersons, environmental advocates and grassroots social workers. Many of the women honoured have overcome significant personal and professional challenges to create lasting impact within their communities, demonstrating leadership, resilience and a commitment to nation-building.

A special highlight of the event was the felicitation of Anupreet Kaur, an accomplished flute musician, who was honoured for her contribution to music. She was felicitated by Mr Manish Khemmka, Chairman & Managing Director, adding a cultural dimension to the celebrations and recognising the importance of supporting artistic talent and cultural expression.

The ceremony brought together members of the Aparajita council, jury, institutional partners and other dignitaries, who witnessed the recognition of women from diverse fields and backgrounds, further underscoring the platform’s role in highlighting stories of achievement and resilience.

Representing SM Steels and Powver Limited., Mr Manish Khemmka, Chairman & Managing Director, addressed the gathering and reiterated the company’s commitment to inclusive growth and women’s empowerment. “At SM Steels and Powver Limited, we believe that true industrial growth must go hand-in-hand with social progress. Our association with Aparajita is a celebration of the resilience, leadership, and indomitable spirit of women who are driving real change in society. Women play an indispensable role in nation-building, and we remain deeply committed to supporting platforms that honor their achievements and inspire future generations,” he said.

The company’s association with Aparajita also reflects its workplace values, where integrity, diversity and inclusion form the foundation of its organisational culture. By fostering a safe and respectful work environment and adhering to progressive workplace practices, including compliance with the POSH Act and the Maternity Benefit Act, SM Steels and Powver Limited continues to strengthen its commitment towards empowering women both within and beyond the workplace.

Through its partnership with Aparajita, SM Steels and Powver Limited reaffirmed its conviction that, by recognising individuals whose work has transformed lives across sectors and communities, the company continues to champion an inclusive vision of progress, one where industry, social responsibility and community development move forward together.

Through a social-first film, 100+ creators and its Freedom Range, Campus Shoes invited parents to give children more room to run, jump, explore, get messy, and simply play.

New Delhi [India], August 18: This Independence Day, Campus Shoes launched ‘The Kids’ Constitution’ under its children’s footwear line, Campus Kids, putting a child’s perspective on freedom at the centre of the conversation. Built around ‘The Freedom to Play,’ the initiative reimagines the language of the Constitution through the eyes of children – asking what they would declare as their fundamental freedoms if they could write the rules of childhood themselves.

At the heart of the initiative is a social-first film released across YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, opening with “We, the Kids of India… do solemnly swear…” and bringing to life a playful charter of freedoms:

• To climb every tree without fear.
• To jump into puddles without asking how deep they are.
• To never walk when we can run.
• To conquer every monkey bar, every wall, every rock, and every little adventure waiting outside.
• We promise to collect bruises like medals, memories like victories.
• And to own every playground.
• This Independence Day, we celebrate the Freedom to Play.

The film contrasts these declarations with the everyday instructions children hear – “Don’t climb that. Don’t run there. Don’t get dirty. Be careful.” – turning them into a reflection on how childhood is increasingly shaped by restriction. At a time when children’s lives are structured around school schedules, classes, screens and organised activities, ‘The Kids’ Constitution’ makes a case for giving children more room for unstructured play.

Gaurav Sharma, Chief Marketing Officer, Campus Shoes, said, “Independence Day gives all of us a reason to think about what freedom really means. With ‘The Kids’ Constitution,’ we wanted to look at freedom from a child’s point of view. For them, freedom is often beautifully simple – the freedom to run, climb, jump, explore, get messy, fall and get back up again. Through this initiative, we want to encourage parents to protect one of childhood’s most important freedoms: the Freedom to Play.”

The campaign was conceptualised in partnership with Pravis, Campus Kids’ creative agency partner.

The initiative extended beyond the film through a creator-led activation featuring 100+ macro, micro and nano creators – including parenting and family voices – activated across Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru around three themes: ‘The New Rules of Childhood,’ ‘Stories of Unfiltered Play’ and ‘Why Play Matters?’ Parents were also invited to add their own “articles” to the Constitution by sharing moments of their children at free play.

‘The Freedom to Play’ also comes to life through the Campus Kids Freedom Range of shoes, designed for children whose playground can be anywhere — a park, a field, a puddle, a staircase, or the next adventure they discover.

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 18: Baazar Style Retail Limited (NSE – STYLEBAAZA, BSE – 544243), witnessed a significant change in its shareholder base, with Aditya Kumar Halwasiya acquiring ~45 lakh shares, representing around 6% stake, through a block deal valued at approximately ₹163 Cr. The transaction brings a sizeable individual holding into the shareholder base of the value-retail platform.

The investment comes as Baazar Style Retail continues to expand its retail network across Eastern and other emerging Indian markets. The Company’s store network has grown to 277 stores across 10 states and 198 cities as of June 30, 2026, with its cluster-based expansion strategy focused on strengthening its presence across core and focus markets.

The entry of Aditya Kumar Halwasiya comes alongside the strategic investment already made by Cupid Limited, which holds warrants convertible into approximately 12% equity in Baazar Style Retail, of which warrants corresponding to approximately 3% have already been exercised into equity shares. Together, these developments represent a significant change in the Company’s shareholder landscape and add a new dimension to its ongoing expansion.

The strategic association with Cupid also creates a massive retail distribution opportunity for its growing FMCG and consumer product portfolio. Baazar Style Retail’s expanding store network can provide greater access to consumers across its markets, supporting product visibility and availability through an established retail platform.

As Baazar Style Retail continues to expand its store network and Cupid scales its consumer business, the two businesses have scope to leverage their respective platforms across retail and consumer distribution. The combination can support wider product reach, stronger retail penetration and increased access to emerging consumption markets.

The development comes against a backdrop of continued operating growth at Baazar Style Retail. In Q1FY27, the Company recorded Revenue from Operations of ₹486.4 crore, up 29% YoY, while EBITDA stood at ₹71.9 crore, up 24% YoY. Store count increased from 232 to 277.

The latest developments mark a significant shift in Baazar Style Retail’s shareholder landscape as the Company continues to scale its retail presence across India to a minimum of 500 stores within 3 years.

Surat (Gujarat) [India], August 17: The Bharatiya Vyapar Mahotsav 2026, held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, from August 12 to 15, emerged as a historic opportunity for Surat’s textile industry, where Ajmera Fashion marked a strong presence.

Under the leadership of the company’s Founder and CEO, Mr Ajay Ajmera, Ajmera Fashion brought together more than 60 traders from Surat on this national platform, where every trader got an opportunity to display their products, make new connections and take their businesses to the national and international levels. The Ajmera Fashion pavilion was the largest pavilion from the textile sector at the festival, with a separate display arrangement for each participating trader.

During the festival, the Ajmera pavilion became a centre of attraction for several dignitaries. Delhi Chief Minister Mrs Rekha Gupta and CAIT National General Secretary and Member of Parliament Mr Praveen Khandelwal visited the stall and appreciated Surat’s craftsmanship. In addition, foreign delegates and buyers who came from several countries also showed keen interest in products from Surat.

Over these four days, a large number of people also sought information about Ajmera Fashion’s franchise brands, Ajmera Trends and Little Wings. Relatives of Indians living abroad also visited the stall and sought guidance on connecting their children with the business.

The presence of Mr Ajay Ajmera was a special attraction at the festival. People from different parts of the country came to meet him and seek his guidance. News channels also conducted prominent interviews with him.

For Ajmera Fashion, the event was not just an exhibition but also a major experience and learning opportunity. For Surat’s textile sector, this achievement will remain a memorable milestone, where one company presented the collective strength of the entire industry on a national platform.

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 18: India doesn’t have a complicated relationship with street food. We love it without conditions. We’ll queue for it, drive across town for it, and argue over which stall does it best.

What’s complicated is everything around it: an open drain two feet from the tawa, a cart that hasn’t seen a proper clean in a week, nowhere to sit and eat, or an operator struggling to find a legitimate place to park and run a business.

At the other extreme is the food court – clean, climate-controlled, and predictable, but often lacking the character that makes street food compelling.

Eat Truck Love (ETL) is trying to occupy the space between the two. It is an outdoor food destination format that uses food trailers, trucks and kiosks to turn underutilised land into curated food zones, without requiring permanent construction.

ETL is operated by Azimuth Business on Wheels, a Noida-based company that designs and manufactures mobile infrastructure including food trucks, coffee trailers, retail kiosks, brand activation vehicles and other customised units. The company operates manufacturing facilities in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and Erode, Tamil Nadu.

The idea for ETL emerged from a recurring problem Azimuth encountered among its customers. First-time F&B entrepreneurs would commission a trailer or food truck and then ask a more fundamental question: where do I actually run it?

The same challenge existed for established brands looking to expand into new locations. A well-built mobile unit with nowhere legitimate to operate from is, ultimately, a good-looking vehicle without a business address.

Azimuth had been helping customers solve the location problem informally through its network of contacts in food and real estate. Over time, it identified a larger opportunity: combining the manufacturing of the mobile unit with the location, utilities, and infrastructure needed to operate it.

That became ETL.

The model is already being tested on the ground. ETL has established four live zones in under six months across Noida and Greater Noida, including Central 50, Alpha 1 Metro Station, Bennett University and District 9. With plans to expand to more locations by the end of the current financial year.

For a university, township, metro-adjacent development or mall operator, the proposition is relatively simple – instead of building a conventional food court or allowing unstructured vending, unused outdoor space can be converted into a well-curated F&B destination – ETL zone.

The advantage is flexibility. Units are manufactured for specific menus and operating requirements, while utilities, ventilation, and hygiene are already taken into consideration at the design and fabrication stage, as Azimuth has been building such units and more since 2016.

For property owners too – the ETL concept is a faster alternative to permanent construction while getting greater control over the tenant mix and overall experience.

As far as the mobile infrastructure industry is concerned, the logic extends beyond food.

Brands are increasingly using mobile units for activations, sampling campaigns and pop-up retail. FMCG and cosmetics companies can take experiences directly to consumers. Clothing and lifestyle brands can use mobile retail units to test locations without committing to permanent stores. Azimuth has also built mobile washroom blocks and electrical infrastructure units – categories that demonstrate how broadly the mobile infrastructure model can be applied.

The shift is not limited to private businesses. Government authorities are also increasingly exploring modern, compact and deployable infrastructure for organised vending, public amenities and urban commercial spaces. Azimuth continues to work with authorities on building mobile infrastructure models in areas which were traditionally served by permanent construction.

There is a larger manufacturing story underneath this shift. Azimuth designs and fabricates its units domestically, from concept through production, and has also begun supplying international markets, including recent commercial kitchen trailer projects for Canada and the UK.

The larger opportunity, therefore, may not be food trucks alone. As businesses look for faster and more flexible ways to occupy space, sell products and create experiences, manufactured mobile infrastructure could well become a bridge between physical commerce and real estate.

For ETL, street food is the starting point. The bigger bet is on what happens when commercial space itself becomes mobile.

New Delhi [India], August 17: Every industry has leaders who adapt to change, and then there are those who shape it. In India’s textile and apparel sector, Vaibhav Sharma belongs to the latter category. As the Founder and CEO of Konception Designs, he has built a company around a simple yet powerful belief: the future of fashion will belong to businesses that combine innovation, creativity, speed, and sustainability.

Unlike traditional entrepreneurs who enter the industry through business alone, Vaibhav’s journey began with a strong technical foundation in textile engineering. Years spent working across international markets exposed him to diverse manufacturing ecosystems, evolving consumer expectations, and the increasing importance of product innovation. Those experiences convinced him that India’s greatest opportunity lay not in competing on cost, but in creating value through design, agility, and intelligent supply chains.

That vision led to the creation of Konception Designs—a company established to bridge global fashion brands with India’s manufacturing strengths while encouraging a culture of creativity and continuous improvement. Rather than positioning itself as a conventional sourcing organisation, the company has evolved into a strategic partner focused on developing products, solving complex sourcing challenges, and delivering solutions that create long-term value for its customers.

At the heart of Vaibhav’s leadership philosophy is a belief that successful organisations are built by empowering people to think differently. He encourages experimentation, embraces change, and views every challenge as an opportunity to innovate. This mindset has helped cultivate a workplace where collaboration, learning, and accountability drive sustainable growth.

His leadership has earned recognition from respected industry platforms, while Konception Designs has also been acknowledged for building a positive and people-centric organisational culture. Yet, Vaibhav measures success less by awards and more by the ability to create lasting impact for customers, employees, and the wider industry.

Beyond business performance, Vaibhav is deeply committed to the future of the textile sector. He believes the industry’s next phase will be defined by responsible manufacturing, product innovation, and environmentally conscious practices. In his view, sustainability is no longer a choice—it is a business imperative that will determine the competitiveness of companies in the years ahead.

As global supply chains continue to evolve, Vaibhav sees India emerging as far more than a manufacturing destination. He envisions the country becoming a global centre for innovation, design excellence, and responsible fashion development. Through Konception Designs, he is working towards that vision by building an enterprise that reflects global standards while remaining rooted in Indian values.

Vaibhav Sharma’s story is ultimately about transformation—not just of a business, but of an industry. His journey reflects the confidence of a new generation of Indian entrepreneurs who believe that lasting success is achieved by challenging convention, embracing innovation, and creating organisations that leave a meaningful legacy.

A Powerful Message to Women

Sharing a message for women, Trupti emphasises the importance of self-worth and individuality. She believes that no circumstance, age or societal expectation should determine a woman’s value.

Her message is one of empowerment: women should recognise that they are worthy, capable and enough exactly as they are, while continuing to work towards everything they dream of becoming.

Gratitude Towards the GlammonN Team

Reflecting on her pageant experience, Trupti expressed her gratitude to the entire GlammonN team for believing in her, guiding her and providing her with a platform to discover greater strength and confidence.

India’s preschool franchise segment is seeing growing interest from entrepreneurs who want to enter the education sector through an organised business model. However, choosing the right opportunity requires more than comparing brand names.

Investment requirements, location, curriculum quality, training, operational support, and the role of the franchise partner all need careful review. A clear evaluation of these factors can help investors make a more informed decision before committing capital.

Begin with a Clear View of the Investment

Every franchise evaluation should start with the financial requirements. Investors need clarity on the initial setup cost, space requirements, furniture, learning materials, and other operating needs.

EuroKids states that its preschool franchise model generally requires an investment of around ₹15 lakh to ₹20 lakh, depending on the city, location, and other factors. The model also requires a minimum space of about 1,500 sq ft. These figures can serve as a reference while assessing overall affordability.

Assess Whether the Location Supports the Model

Location has a direct impact on the reach of a preschool. Most centres depend on families living within nearby residential areas, which makes accessibility an important consideration.

A suitable property should offer convenient access, enough space for classrooms and a setting that works well for young children. EuroKids recommends ground- or first-floor premises in residential or semi-residential areas with access to young families.

Examine What Support Comes with the Franchise

A franchise model is valuable when it helps the owner manage important areas of the business. Support may include centre setup, classroom planning, teaching resources, teacher training, marketing and daily operations.

EuroKids, for instance, provides support through its EDGE360 framework, covering infrastructure, teaching aids, training, marketing and business operations. For investors evaluating a preschool franchise in India, it is important to understand which services are available before launch and which continue after the centre begins operating.

Review the Curriculum as Carefully as the Business Model

A preschool is an education business, so the academic framework deserves the same attention as financial planning. Investors should understand how the curriculum is developed, how it is delivered and whether teachers receive regular guidance.

A structured curriculum can help maintain consistency across classrooms and give parents greater clarity about the learning experience.

Look at Teacher Training and Staff Support

The quality of a preschool depends greatly on the people delivering the learning experience. Teacher recruitment alone is not enough. Training, classroom guidance and ongoing support can influence how consistently the programme is delivered.

Before investing, it is useful to understand whether the franchisor assists with teacher preparation and staff development.

Evaluate the Brand’s Experience and Market Presence

Brand recognition may help a centre gain initial attention, but investors should also look at experience, network size and operating systems.

EuroKids reports more than 2,000 preschools across 550-plus locations, over 25 years of experience and more than 1,70,000 hours of curriculum research. Such figures can show the depth of an established network.

Understand the Role Expected from the Owner

Running a preschool usually requires active involvement. Admissions, parent communication, staffing, local marketing and centre standards may all need regular attention. Before selecting a preschool franchise in India, investors should be clear about how much time the business will require.

A franchise may provide systems and support, but day-to-day execution still depends on the local owner and team. This makes personal involvement an important part of the decision.

Read the Franchise Terms with a Long-Term View

The agreement should clearly explain tenure, renewal terms, territory, fees and responsibilities. These details affect how the franchise relationship works over time.

EuroKids notes that defined territories are offered and that tenure and renewal terms are discussed during the evaluation process. Similar conditions should be reviewed carefully with any preschool brand before making a financial commitment.

A Careful Evaluation Can Lead to a Better Investment Decision

A preschool franchise should be evaluated as both an education model and a business opportunity. Investment size, location, curriculum, training, operational support and owner involvement all need to work together.

Taking time to assess these factors can help investors make a more informed choice and enter the preschool sector with clearer expectations about what the business will require.

Anyone shopping for the best crypto presale wants proof rather than adjectives. Bullski has some. Stage 1 of its sixteen steps sold out completely at $0.00001, with all 1,192,283,023 tokens claimed.

Buyers now pay $0.000015 at stage 2, and 45,829,562 tokens had gone by August 17, 2026. Meme tokens held $24.77 billion that same day, while Bitcoin sat at $62,970 after a soft week.

Why a Sold-Out Stage One Is the Number That Counts

Marketing copy is easy to write, and a sold-out allocation is not. Every token in the first step found a buyer at $0.00001, which is the plainest demand signal the presale that sold out stage one can point to. Nothing here rests on trust, because the allocation size and the counter stayed public the whole way.

Sequence matters as well. Rungs on this ladder move only once the tokens for that step are gone, so reaching stage 2 took real purchases rather than a date on a calendar. Lists of the best crypto presales tend to weigh that sell-through above follower counts.

By the numbers: Stage 2 opened with 1,400,000,000 tokens. Buyers took 45,829,562 of them by August 17, 2026, leaving 1,354,170,438 on the rung, while sale-wide totals reached 1,238,112,585.

Best Crypto Presales Get Judged on Four Numbers

Four figures tell most of the story on a sale page: how many tokens exist, how many are for sale, what each step costs, and which protections are filed before payment. Judging the best presale crypto comes down to what a project is willing to publish. Shortlists for the best crypto presale 2026 keep landing on the same four.

Supply and the Share Set Aside

Supply stops at 120 billion tokens, and that ceiling cannot be lifted later. Presale buyers take 40 percent of the count, which works out to 48 billion tokens across the sale. Set that beside meme names whose float runs into the trillions, and the arithmetic reads very differently.

The Step Prices, Printed in Advance

Pricing sits on a 16-stage ladder. Stage 1 closed at $0.00001. Buyers pay $0.000015 today at stage 2, stage 3 is set at $0.00002, and a $0.0025 listing reference sits at the far end.

Each of those numbers was published before the sale opened.

Terms Filed Before Any Payment

Protections are on the record too. Source code for the ERC-20 token can be inspected on Etherscan, an audit is in progress, the founding allocation unlocks gradually under a vesting plan, and liquidity is locked once trading begins. Staking and referral rewards run during the sale, and payment goes through in ETH, BNB or USDT.

The Market the Token Will Land In

Landing conditions count for something. Meme tokens as a category were worth $24.77 billion on August 17, 2026, up 0.34 percent on the day with $0.88 billion traded, per CoinGecko. Ethereum, the host chain, held $1,878.80.

That sector is why Bullski appears on best meme coin presale shortlists.

Two rows carry the argument. Look at stage 3 at $0.00002, which shows what a later arrival pays, then at the $24.77 billion sector line, which shows the pool this token joins. Our earlier note on that comparison sits in the note we ran on entry prices.

What Bullski Puts on the Page Before You Pay

Transparency here is measurable. Token count, step price, allocation size and remaining balance all sit on the page, and each moves only when purchases move it. Buyers never have to reverse engineer the terms from a chat channel.

Watch out: Copycat pages copy artwork, not counters. Measure what Bullski publishes before you pay against the live figures, and treat any page missing them as a page to close.

Scale supplies the last piece of context. Bitcoin carried $1.264 trillion and Ethereum $226.7 billion on August 17, 2026, so a capped 120 billion supply priced at $0.000015 is a different proposition entirely. For the surrounding picture, our wider market read covers how the week treated the majors.

Why Buyers Are Moving on the $0.000015 Step Now

Two published numbers frame the decision. Today’s rung costs $0.000015. One step higher, stage 3 costs $0.00002, which is 33 percent more for the same token.

Because rungs turn over on sell-outs, that switch can arrive without notice.

Buy $BULLSKI at $0.000015: move ETH, BNB or USDT into your own wallet, reach the official page from a saved address, note which rung the counter displays, and confirm the purchase. Hold back a little ETH for network fees.

Tokens arrive in the wallet used at checkout, and staking can begin without waiting for a listing. Referral rewards run alongside it, so an entry made today can earn before any exchange quotes a price.

Best Crypto Presale Questions, Answered

What Is the Next Bitcoin?

No token repeats Bitcoin’s path, and that coin still holds $1.264 trillion at $62,970. Smaller supply and a lower entry are what people usually mean by the question. Anyone hunting the next big cryptocurrency is really after an early number and a fixed cap, which is exactly what a published ladder provides.

Are Crypto Presales Worth It?

It depends on what the project publishes. A sale that prints its supply, its allocation and every step price gives a buyer something to verify, and Bullski prints all three. Selling out stage 1 at $0.00001 adds a demand record, and few options labelled new crypto to invest in carry one.

Roundups of the best crypto presales to buy now change weekly, while those printed figures do not.

Where Do I Buy Presale Tokens?

Presale tokens are sold on the project’s own site rather than on an exchange. For this one, that means the official Bullski page and the counter displayed on it. Saving the address and returning to it each time keeps buyers clear of lookalike pages, which is the habit that protects any meme coin presale entry.

How to Buy Crypto Presale?

Four moves cover it. Get USDT, BNB or ETH into a wallet you control, reach the official page from a saved address, read the rung on the counter, then buy $BULLSKI at the stage two rung. Tokens land in that same wallet, ready to stake straight away.

Anyone weighing the next big crypto usually begins with exactly these four moves.

Mr. Shaibu Cherian, Director, Paul Merchants Finance

Chandigarh [India], August 18: Paul Merchants Finance Private Limited (PMFPL), a diversified NBFC and part of the Paul Merchants Group, has launched its Loan Against Silver product. The launch follows the Reserve Bank of India’s introduction of the Reserve Bank of India (Lending Against Gold and Silver Collateral) Directions, 2025, which formally enabled eligible regulated lenders to accept silver as collateral for loans. The move by the RBI has opened the way for silver to become part of the formal secured lending ecosystem in India.

With this launch, PMFPL aims to bring an organised and transparent lending model to a segment that has traditionally been dominated by the unorganised sector, where customers have largely depended on local financiers and informal channels to raise credit against their silver assets.

Silver has traditionally been an important household asset in India, particularly across semi-urban and rural markets, where silver jewellery and ornaments are widely held as a form of savings and financial security. Despite its widespread ownership, access to formal credit against silver has remained largely unavailable. PMFPL’s Silver Loan initiative seeks to bridge this gap by providing customers with access to credit against an asset they already own.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. S. Paul, Chairman, Paul Merchants Group, said, “Silver has always had a strong place in Indian households, particularly in markets where it is an important form of savings and financial security. However, lending against silver has largely remained in the unorganised sector. With the RBI enabling lending against silver as collateral, we see an opportunity to bring this segment into the formal financial ecosystem. At Paul Merchants, we have chosen to make a meaningful beginning by establishing exclusive Silver Loan branches and creating a specialised lending platform around silver. We believe this can provide customers with a more organised and transparent avenue to access credit against an asset they already own.”

The Company has commenced its Silver Loan operations from Chandigarh and plans to expand the product to other locations in a phased manner, with more dedicated Silver Loan branches being established to provide customers with an organised platform for availing loans against their silver assets. Under this offering, customers can avail loans ranging from ₹2,000 to ₹15 lakh, against eligible silver jewellery, ornaments and approved silver coins, subject to the company’s lending policies and applicable regulatory requirements. The product is intended to cater to individuals, proprietors and MSMEs looking for liquidity for personal, business and other legitimate financial requirements.

Commenting on the business opportunity, Shaibu Cherian, Director, Paul Merchants Finance, said, “We see Silver Loan as more than a new lending product. It has the potential to create a new category in secured lending, particularly for customers looking for small-ticket loans to meet their immediate financial requirements. Our aim is to make Silver Loan a convenient and trusted option for short-term funding, allowing customers to unlock the value of their silver when they need it. We believe this segment has significant potential to grow and, in the future, become a preferred choice for small-ticket, secured credit.”

The Silver Loan business will form an important part of PMFPL’s diversified secured lending portfolio, alongside its existing lending activities comprising Secured MSME Loans, Loan Against Property (LAP), Loan Against Shares (LAS) and Corporate Loans. The company intends to develop Silver Loans as a scalable lending vertical as it expands its presence across markets.

New Delhi [India], August 18: Ten years ago, Praneeta Kumar Shringi and Hitesh Nigam founded DesignAnswers with a shared conviction: that design creates its greatest value when it is grounded in strategy.

Today, that belief remains at the heart of the independent Gurugram-based firm. DesignAnswers works with organisations at moments of creation, change and growth—helping them define what they stand for, find a distinctive place in the market and translate that thinking into brands and experiences that people recognise, understand and remember.

Its practice sits deliberately at the intersection of strategy and design. Brand strategy, positioning and architecture often begin the conversation; identity, packaging, digital, campaigns, editorial and environmental design bring that thinking to life. The result is a body of work that spans industries, audiences and very different levels of scale and premiumness—from accessible consumer brands to sophisticated corporate and institutional identities.

That breadth has become one of DesignAnswers’ strengths.

The firm has worked across FMCG, aviation, technology, healthcare, financial services, hospitality and lifestyle, partnering with organisations including American Express, Diageo, ITC, Dr. Reddy’s, Bayer, Pernod Ricard, Digi Yatra Foundation and BLR Airport. Over the years, its work has been recognised repeatedly at India’s Best Design Awards, alongside recognition from The Economic Times Awards for Design & Creativity.

But the more compelling story is the diversity of problems behind that work.

For Wingreens Farms, DesignAnswers helped build a distinctive consumer-facing brand and packaging language in an intensely competitive category. For Digi Yatra, it translated a complex technology proposition into an identity designed around simplicity, trust and seamless travel. And its relationship with BLR Airport has grown across multiple engagements and touchpoints—spanning brand thinking, communication, campaigns, publications and new propositions within the airport ecosystem.

This ability to move between categories—and between mass, premium and institutional brands—is intentional. DesignAnswers does not subscribe to a house style. The ambition is to find the strategic idea that is right for the business and then build a design language powerful enough to own it.

Central to this approach are its founders.

Praneeta and Hitesh remain deeply involved in the work, often working directly with leadership teams from the earliest conversations through to execution. Their complementary perspectives—Praneeta at the intersection of business, brand and strategy; Hitesh across creative thinking and design—have shaped both the firm and the relationships it builds.

That hands-on model has resulted in partnerships that frequently extend beyond individual projects. Clients return as businesses evolve, brands grow and new challenges emerge. For DesignAnswers, longevity is built not by becoming an external supplier, but by becoming a trusted creative and strategic partner.

A decade in, DesignAnswers remains deliberately independent, curious and close to the work. Its ambition for the next ten years is not simply to design more brands, but to play a larger role in building them—bringing strategy and creativity together to create businesses that are distinctive, relevant and built to endure.

New Delhi [India], August 18: Elite matchmaking platform Wedknott on Tuesday announced the acquisition of Aurezia Events, a premium wedding planning and design company, marking the company’s entry into India’s wedding services market.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Wedknott has taken a majority equity stake in the company, it said in a statement. Aurezia Events will retain its brand name and expand into the broader weddings and events space, with founder Peres continuing as Co-Founder and Director.

India hosts nearly 10 million weddings a year, an economy estimated at US$130 billion (Rs 11 lakh crore) annually, according to industry estimates. The market remains highly fragmented. A single wedding can involve dozens of vendors for venues, decor, photography and hospitality, with quality and accountability varying widely from vendor to vendor.

According to the company, nearly 45 per cent of couples matched on its platform had sought help with wedding planning, prompting the expansion beyond matchmaking.

“Finding the right partner was never the end of our responsibility. It was the beginning of a bigger journey. Nearly half our couples were already asking us to stay on. Aurezia lets us serve them with the same care that defined the match,” said Abhinav Gandhi, Founder and CEO of Wedknott.

“Joining Wedknott means we become part of each couple’s story much earlier, and our work will be more personal for it,” said Peres, Founder of Aurezia Events.

The integrated offering will roll out from the current wedding season across metros, Tier 1 cities and destination wedding locations, the statement added. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Noida, Wedknott serves over 2,000 families across 75 cities and four continents. The company had raised strategic investment in January 2026 from Pratik Gauri, a serial entrepreneur, investor and speaker known for championing the concept of a purpose-driven 5th Industrial Revolution. His work has been recognised by platforms including the World Economic Forum, Forbes and TED.

New Delhi [India], August 17: There is something fitting about an entrepreneur from Kurukshetra choosing to build his life around courage, conviction and action.

For Satish Saini, the journey did not begin in a boardroom, with inherited business networks or a large cheque. It began in classrooms, computer labs and with the simple belief that knowledge becomes more powerful when it is shared.

While pursuing his bachelor’s degree in computers from MMU, Mullana, Saini was already doing something unusual. While many students around him were searching for training opportunities, he was training others. He taught web development and related technologies to more than 100 students during his engineering years.

Long before he carried the title of Founder or CEO, he had begun developing perhaps the most important entrepreneurial ability of all: the courage to take responsibility before someone gives you permission to lead.

His professional career took him to Chandigarh, where that instinct quickly translated into results. In just 10 months, he helped grow a team from five people to 50.

But somewhere between building teams and solving technology problems, a bigger question began taking shape: what could he build if he started from zero?

In 2015, that question became tecHindustan.

Starting with just five people, Saini built the company around an idea that technology businesses can sometimes overlook that behind every screen, product, contract and transaction is a human being. That philosophy became H2H: Human to Human, and even inspired the distinctive capital “H” in tecHindustan.

What began as a five-member venture has today grown into a team of 200+ professionals, serving more than 500 domestic and international clients across modern web, mobile, IoT, IIoT and digital technology solutions.

Yet one of the defining aspects of Saini’s journey is that growth never became an excuse to stop learning.

Even after becoming an entrepreneur and business leader, he continued investing in his own evolution, completing the Senior Management Programme at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM Ahmedabad). The experience added another dimension to a journey that had largely been built through hands-on execution bringing together entrepreneurial instinct with structured thinking around strategy, management and organisational leadership.

And tecHindustan was only the beginning.

Together with co-founder Harshil Gupta, Saini ventured into the rapidly evolving energy sector with Electres, focused on Battery Energy Storage Systems for residential, commercial, and industrial and utility-scale applications.

Then came Pen&Slate, an AI-powered growth agency created to help businesses around the world move faster through the convergence of technology, creativity, performance marketing and artificial intelligence.

In another sector altogether, Saini is building BitesBee, a food-tech venture focused on corporate meal solutions, working with organizations including Reliance, Indus Towers, Quark and other large enterprises.

On the surface, software, energy storage, AI-powered marketing and corporate food services may appear to have little in common.

But look closer, and a pattern emerges.

Satish Saini is not building businesses simply because an industry is fashionable. He is building around problems, possibilities and human needs.

His story is not one of overnight success. It is the story of compounding—one student taught, one team built, one company started, one lesson learned, and one courageous decision after another.

From a young man teaching web development in college to an IIM Ahmedabad Senior Management Programme alumnus and entrepreneur building across multiple industries, the distance traveled is remarkable.

And perhaps the most exciting part of Satish Saini’s story is this:

It does not read like a story reaching its conclusion. It reads like a story that has only just begun.

New Delhi [India], August 18: A thought-provoking Business Talk Show themed “Emerging India, Developed India” was organised at Holiday Inn Hotel, bringing together distinguished personalities, entrepreneurs, professionals, experts and young voices to discuss India’s growth, development and emerging opportunities.

The event witnessed the presence of several prominent guests, including Delhi Mayor Pravesh Wahi, SP Zone Chairperson Usha Sharma, Hindu Rao Hospital MS Prof. Dr. Suman Mehndiratta, Inspector Sanjay Gade, Sanjay Sharma, and Padma Shri awardee Bharat Bhushan. The event was organised by Aatul Jain and Isha, with active participation from members of Youth India.

The platform featured a diverse group of speakers who shared their experiences, professional insights and perspectives on entrepreneurship, innovation, personal development, spirituality, healthcare, aviation, technology and other areas contributing to a stronger and more progressive India.

Among the key speakers were Dilip Kumar Prasad (Spermotile), Pratibha Badurkar (The Roots & Radiance), Prashant Khankhoje (A2Z Adcon LLP), Dr. Manu Singh (Sarv Dharma Samvad), Pijush Ranjay Ghosh (AI Champ & Mindstrology), Sagar Amlani (The Productive Mindset), Saurav Mahajan (The Saurav Mahajan Show), Yusuf Poonawala (Lux Voyages), Neerjara Aura (Orralite), Somanshu Gaur and Dr. Himanshu Gaur (Wise Monk), Captain Deval Soni (Golden Epaulettes Aviation), Pankaj Chandak (GrowPure Organic), Dr. Anshul Gupta (The Corporate Spirituality), Bhupendra Kumar (Well With India Pvt. Ltd.), Chetan N. Bhangade (Swaseva), and Animesh Khandelwal (Senatus Legal), among others.

The event was moderated by Anukriti Sharma, Khushi Mudgal and Veronica Chaudhary, who guided the discussions and interactions throughout the programme.

Pratibha Badurkar: Transforming Adversity into a Mission of Healing

One of the notable journeys highlighted during the event was that of Pratibha Badurkar, whose personal experiences have played a significant role in shaping her professional mission.

Born into a modest family, Pratibha describes her life journey as a *roller-coaster ride, marked by personal loss and serious health challenges, including *Pemphigus Vulgaris. Instead of allowing these difficult experiences to define her future, she chose to look inward and embark on a journey of personal transformation.

Today, Pratibha is a holistic healer, certified professional mind trainer, author and transformational life coach. She has undergone training in areas including Pranic Healing, Crystal Healing, Psychotherapy and Past Life Regression, among other disciplines.

Her journey has also been recognised through honours such as the India Iconic Award 2025, Global Woman Icon 2025 and Visionary Leader Award. She has also been featured in Forbes, Business Ascent and Icons of Bharat, and has participated as a TEDx speaker.

With an ambitious vision of creating one lakh healing leaders and positively impacting one billion lives, Pratibha views her book as another meaningful step towards this mission. Her journey reflects a powerful message: personal challenges can become a source of learning, purpose and transformation.

The “Emerging India, Developed India” platform ultimately brought together diverse voices united by a common objective—to share ideas, experiences and perspectives that can contribute to individual growth, professional excellence and the larger vision of a progressive India.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 18: Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) Investor Protection Fund (IPF) has launched a multilingual investor education film to promote thoughtful financial planning and informed investing. Developed in collaboration with Amar Chitra Katha, the film simplifies essential investment concepts through engaging storytelling, making them accessible and relatable for investors across diverse geographies and demographics.

The animated film, The Garden of Prosperity, follows Akbar and Birbal as they help a newly married couple understand how to invest their wedding gifts wisely. Using the analogy of nurturing a garden, they explain the importance of goal-based investing, diversifying investments across financial goals, aligning investments with different time horizons and maintaining an emergency fund. Through an engaging narrative, the film simplifies essential investment principles and encourages disciplined financial planning for long-term wealth creation. The film is available in 12 languages: English, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia and Assamese, ensuring wide reach across urban and rural investor segments.

Speaking about the initiative, Shri Sudhish Pillai, Head, CDSL IPF Secretariat, said: “At CDSL IPF, we believe financial education is most effective when complex concepts are communicated through simple, relatable stories. By combining the timeless wisdom of Akbar and Birbal with practical lessons on financial planning, this multilingual film makes investing easier to understand for people across age groups and geographies. Through engaging formats such as films and comics, we hope to encourage investors to adopt goal-based investing, prepare for the future with confidence and participate in the securities market in an informed and responsible manner.”

The initiative builds on CDSL IPF’s collaboration with Amar Chitra Katha to develop a series of investor education comics that simplify financial concepts through familiar characters and narratives. The series also includes titles such as The Unofficial Ustaad and The Golden Peacock Fraud, helping make financial education more inclusive and accessible across age groups and regions.

CDSL IPF remains committed to advancing financial literacy through nationwide investor awareness initiatives, empowering individuals to become #AtmanirbharInvestor.

Term loan cleared via Thyrocare stake sale and internal accruals; Docon retains 51.02% controlling stake, now fully unencumbered

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 17: API Holdings, India’s largest digital healthcare platform and the ultimate parent company of Thyrocare, has become debt-free after repaying its outstanding debt of ₹1,050 crore, funded through proceeds from the recent sale of a portion of its stake in Thyrocare Technologies and internal accruals.

The development comes after Docon Technologies Private Limited, the promoter and holding company of Thyrocare, sold 1,57,69,696 Thyrocare shares, representing around 9.90% of the company’s paid-up equity share capital, through market trades. Following the sale, Docon continues to remain the promoter and holding company of Thyrocare with a 51.02% stake.

The debt payment has also resulted in the release of the pledge on the remaining Thyrocare shares held by Docon. The entire outstanding pledge linked to the debt has now been released, leaving Docon’s 51.02% holding in Thyrocare fully unencumbered.

Alok Kumar Jagnani, Whole-Time Director and Group CFO, API Holdings, said, “We’ve repaid our term debt in full, and we did it the hard way, without diluting our stake in Thyrocare below 51%. That’s the real headline: a stronger balance sheet without giving up our ownership. It reflects a capital allocation philosophy where growth and discipline aren’t traded off against each other. With every business in the group soon profitable, there’s no drag left on the P&L; just a clean base to build from.”

Siddharth Shah, Vice Chairman, API Holdings, said, “The Thyrocare acquisition has worked out well for API. Shareholders who held on instead of tendering to our open offer at ₹433 a share in July 2021 (bonus adjusted) are sitting on ₹653 at the close of trading on 14th August 2026 – dividends included. That’s a 51% return. NIFTY 50 gave you 41%. Pathology peers weren’t even close. True value for money! Congratulations to the Thyrocare team, a turnaround nobody thought was possible.”

Rahul Guha, MD & CEO, API Holdings and Thyrocare, said, “Zero debt isn’t the finish line; it’s the starting gun. This wasn’t financial engineering; it was Thyrocare’s and the group’s execution, quarter after quarter, that made it possible. What the team proved is bigger than a balance sheet: this organisation can execute on anything it sets its mind to. That’s the real asset we’re carrying into the next chapter.”

With its term loan fully repaid and businesses moving into profitability, API Holdings now enters its next phase focused on profitable growth, disciplined execution and long-term value creation across its healthcare businesses.

The race for the best crypto presale is entering its most urgent phase yet as speculation grows around what AlphaPepe ($ALPE) could reveal on August 19. With only two days left until the major launch update, the presale has now raised $2.34 million, attracted more than 11,000 holders, and moved into Stage 20 at $0.02654 after Stage 19 sold out fast.

The biggest question is whether August 19 could mark the end of the current presale phase. AlphaPepe has not confirmed a closure date, but the mystery surrounding the reveal is fueling speculation as whales move to secure larger positions before the announcement. Three CEX partnerships are already secured, Tier-1 listing rumors are circulating, and the final 48-hour countdown is becoming difficult for retail to ignore.

Could AlphaPepe Close the Presale on August 19?

AlphaPepe has confirmed a major launch update reveal for August 19, but the exact announcement remains under wraps.

Stage 19 is already gone, Stage 20 is live at $0.02654, and buyers do not know whether the current presale structure will remain unchanged after the reveal.

There has been no official confirmation that August 19 will end the presale, but speculation is growing that the update could move AlphaPepe significantly closer to public trading or introduce changes to the remaining token sale.

For buyers already considering $ALPE, waiting carries a simple risk: the entry conditions available today may not be the same after the launch details become public.

Whales Rush In With Only Two Days Left

AlphaPepe has now pushed past $2.34 million raised and 11,000 holders, giving the project a sizeable pre-launch community before public trading begins.

The closer August 19 gets, the more urgency larger buyers face. Whales trying to secure meaningful allocations need available supply, and fast-moving stages can make it harder to accumulate at the same price if another wave of demand arrives.

Stage 19 already showed that pressure by selling out quickly. Stage 20 now sits at $0.02654, meaning every new purchase removes more allocation before the reveal.

For retail, whale activity is becoming part of the signal: bigger buyers appear increasingly unwilling to wait until every launch detail is known.

Three CEX Partnerships Fuel Tier-1 Rumors

Exchange access adds another layer to the August 19 speculation.

AlphaPepe has already secured three CEX partnerships before public trading, putting the project ahead of presales that only promise future exchange access.

Now discussion is shifting toward whether a Tier-1 exchange could eventually join the rollout.

No Tier-1 listing has been formally confirmed, but the three existing exchange partnerships give the rumor more substance. If August 19 brings further exchange news, current Stage 20 buyers will have positioned before those details reached the wider market.

AlphaSwap Early Access is also already live, giving AlphaPepe working utility before $ALPE reaches public exchanges. That combination of product progress and exchange preparation is helping the presale attract attention beyond pure meme speculation.

Bonus Drop Makes the Final 48 Hours Even Hotter

AlphaPepe is also running its Bonus Drop, giving buyers another reason to move before August 19.

Every draw reveals +10%, +30%, +50%, +100% or +200% extra ALPE, and every draw wins. Once activated, the multiplier remains live for 48 hours and applies to every qualifying buy made during that period.

Previous purchasing activity improves the odds of landing larger multipliers, giving existing buyers an incentive to keep building their positions.

The timing is especially aggressive because a Bonus Drop activated now overlaps closely with the countdown to August 19. Buyers therefore face two clocks at once: the bonus window is running while the market waits to discover what AlphaPepe plans next.

Why the Best Crypto Presale Race Is Heating Up

AlphaPepe now combines nearly every catalyst retail watches during the late stages of a presale: $2.34 million raised, 11,000+ holders, Stage 20 live at $0.02654, AlphaSwap Early Access, three secured CEX partnerships, Tier-1 speculation and a launch reveal only two days away.

The unanswered question is what August 19 changes.

The presale could continue, or the reveal could signal a new phase. AlphaPepe has not confirmed a closure date, which is precisely why larger buyers appear unwilling to wait for certainty.

For retail still watching from the sidelines, the next 48 hours could become one of the most important entry windows before the biggest AlphaPepe announcement so far resets the narrative.

New Delhi [India], August 17: South Indian actress Karnika Mandal is steadily making her mark across the Indian film industry with her versatile performances and distinctive screen presence. After appearing in Bollywood projects including Love is Forever, Shubh Ratri, Hathauda Singh and Bhabhi Mil Gayi Yaar, the actress is now attracting attention for her upcoming historical film ‘Yana’.

Set against the backdrop of 1840, ‘Yana’ features Karnika in a challenging dual role for the first time. She portrays both a mother and her daughter, requiring her to bring two distinctly different characters to life.

Produced under the banner of Soft Touch Entertainment and directed by R. Prajapati, the film also features a talented ensemble cast. Prominent actors including Jagapathi Babu, Suman Talwar and Makarand Deshpande have praised Karnika’s acting abilities and extended their best wishes for her future projects.

Following ‘Yana’, Karnika reportedly has several projects in the pipeline. She has also signed an upcoming Malayalam film opposite Dulquer Salmaan, son of veteran actor Mammootty.

The Malayalam project will reportedly showcase Karnika in a completely new avatar. Known largely for her traditional Indian looks, she is set to embrace a Western-inspired look for the first time.

With a series of promising projects ahead, Karnika Mandal appears poised to strengthen her presence across both South Indian cinema and the wider national film industry.

Jais, Amethi [India], August 17: The Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT), Jais, celebrated the 80th Independence Day of India with patriotic fervour and enthusiasm. Faculty members, officers, staff, students, research scholars and members of the RGIPT community came together to commemorate the nation’s freedom and honour the sacrifices of the countless freedom fighters who contributed to India’s independence.

The celebrations commenced with the unfurling of the National Flag by the Hon’ble Director, Prof. Harish Hirani, followed by the National Anthem.

Addressing the gathering, Prof. Hirani emphasised the importance of ethics, integrity, discipline and responsible citizenship among the youth, highlighting their vital role in nation-building.

The central theme of his address was captured in the message: “Freedom gives us rights; rules and responsibilities make that freedom meaningful.”

Drawing inspiration from India’s freedom movement, Prof. Hirani reflected on the lives and contributions of Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, highlighting the enduring lessons they offer in self-discipline, courage, intellectual questioning, institutional responsibility, justice and nation-building.

Referring to Mahatma Gandhi, the Director highlighted the importance of self-discipline, truth and integrity. He observed that freedom does not mean doing whatever one wishes; rather, it requires the discipline to do what is right, even when no one is watching. Gandhi’s decision to withdraw the Non-Cooperation Movement following the Chauri Chaura incident was cited as an example of placing principles and ethical conduct above immediate success. Drawing a parallel with academic life, Prof. Hirani emphasised that honesty in research, academic integrity and ethical conduct are as important as academic and professional achievement.

Speaking about Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Prof. Hirani emphasised the importance of discipline, organisation and collective purpose. The Indian National Army was highlighted as an example of how individual courage can become a source of national strength when united around a common objective. Relating this to RGIPT, he noted that the strength of an institution lies not only in individual achievements but also in the ability of its people to work together towards a shared vision.

The Director also highlighted Shaheed Bhagat Singh as an example of intellectual courage and the willingness to question injustice. He stressed that respect for rules should not mean giving up the ability to think critically. He distinguished between breaking rules for personal convenience and responsibly questioning practices that may require improvement. He emphasised that a strong institution needs both discipline to follow established rules and the courage to question and improve them through appropriate processes.

Referring to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Prof. Hirani highlighted the importance of strong institutions, effective processes, law and decisive action in nation-building. He emphasised that neither a nation nor an educational institution can function on goodwill alone. Transparent procedures, academic regulations, financial discipline, research ethics, safety protocols, examination systems, procurement procedures and accountability are essential for ensuring fairness and strengthening institutional trust.

The Director further highlighted the contribution of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar and the Constitution of India in providing a framework through which political freedom could be transformed into a just, equal and democratic society. He emphasised that individual rights must coexist with the rights of others and that freedom must always be accompanied by responsibility.

“Freedom is not the right to ignore responsibility. Freedom is the opportunity to exercise responsibility.”

Prof. Hirani further emphasised that RGIPT’s responsibility extends beyond providing education and awarding degrees. As an Institution of National Importance, the Institute has a responsibility to contribute to India’s energy security, technological advancement, innovation, sustainability and human-resource development.

He called for strengthening an institutional culture based on academic honesty, ethical research, zero tolerance for plagiarism, laboratory safety, responsible use of public resources, merit, transparency, mutual respect and a strong sense of responsibility.

Emphasising the importance of rules in institutional life, Prof. Hirani said:

“Rules are not made to inconvenience honest people. Rules are made so that decisions do not depend upon someone’s personal preference.”

At the same time, he stressed that rules should not become barriers to innovation or institutional improvement. Where a rule no longer serves its intended purpose, it should be examined and improved through appropriate institutional processes.

“The answer to a bad rule is not arbitrary violation. The answer is responsible reform.”

Addressing the students, Prof. Hirani urged the younger generation to view Independence Day not only as a celebration of India’s past but also as a reminder of their responsibility towards the nation’s future. He observed that while the freedom fighters of an earlier generation fought against colonial rule, today’s generation must contribute to overcoming challenges such as poverty, unemployment, energy insecurity, pollution, technological dependence, misinformation and corruption.

He highlighted the important role of young engineers and researchers in India’s transformation and encouraged them to contribute to emerging areas such as renewable energy, green hydrogen, carbon management, energy storage, electric mobility, artificial intelligence, circular economy and sustainable technologies.

The Director called upon the RGIPT community to draw inspiration from the values of India’s freedom fighters and reflect those values in everyday life. He emphasised that respect for the Constitution and the law, honesty in academic and professional work, discipline, the courage to question and innovate, and the commitment to use knowledge for national progress are essential for building a stronger RGIPT and a stronger India.

He concluded by reminding the gathering that the best way to honour the freedom fighters is not merely to remember their sacrifices, but to live by the values for which they stood and contribute, in our own way, to building a better and stronger India.

“Freedom is our inheritance. Discipline is our responsibility. Integrity is our character. Knowledge is our strength. And nation-building is our duty.”

Prof. Hirani called for building an RGIPT where freedom is accompanied by responsibility, excellence by integrity, innovation by discipline, and individual aspirations by institutional commitment, while reaffirming the Institute’s commitment to contributing meaningfully to Viksit Bharat.

The Independence Day programme also featured a vibrant cultural presentation by the RGIPT community. The cultural segment began with an auspicious Ganesh Vandana presented by Aliya, setting a graceful and celebratory tone for the programme. This was followed by an energetic group song performance by Team Mridang, which was warmly received by the audience.

A lively group dance by Team Tarang further enriched the celebrations, followed by a diverse presentation of solo vocal performances, poetry and dance by students.

The cultural programme culminated in an evocative theatrical presentation portraying the courage, dedication and sacrifices of Indian soldiers serving in the harsh, high-altitude mountain frontiers of the country. The performance deeply moved the audience and served as a fitting tribute to the men and women who continue to safeguard the nation’s sovereignty and security.

The celebrations concluded on a note of patriotism, unity, and national pride, with the RGIPT community reaffirming its commitment to the values of freedom, integrity, discipline, service, and nation-building.

New Delhi [India], August 17: How more than 13 years in forensic investigations, vigilance and compliance shaped an entrepreneur’s approach to building a food and wellness brand around purity, accountability and consumer confidence.

Some businesses begin with a gap in the market. Others take shape from a conviction built over years.

For Akash Singh Thakur, Founder of HALDIVA INDIA, entrepreneurship was not an overnight career switch. It emerged gradually from a professional life spent examining facts, identifying inconsistencies and understanding how quickly credibility can disappear when transparency is compromised.

Founder profile: @aakashsinghthakur.in

With more than 13 years of professional experience across forensic analysis, fraud investigations, vigilance, compliance, risk assessment, document examination and investigative consulting, Akash comes from a field where assumptions carry little weight. Conclusions have to be supported. Details matter. Accountability matters even more.

Over time, those principles travelled with him into an entirely different industry. Today, they influence the thinking behind HALDIVA INDIA, an Indian food and wellness brand being built around four fundamental values: Purity. Authenticity. Transparency. Trust.

A Profession That Shaped the Entrepreneur

Forensic investigation teaches a particular way of thinking. It demands the discipline to look beyond appearances, verify before concluding and recognise that credibility is rarely established by a single statement. It is built gradually through consistency.

That discipline became an important part of Akash’s professional outlook. His experience spans forensic reviews, fraud control, vigilance, compliance-oriented investigations, document examination, risk assessment and evidence-based analytical work. Since 2012, he has also been professionally associated with Vijayshree Ramesh Madan, a respected name in India’s private investigation field.

Years spent in this environment strengthened not only his investigative capabilities but also his belief in ethical decision-making, professional responsibility and accountability. His contribution to the profession has been recognised through honours including the Kautilya Award and the Chanakya Award.

“Trust cannot be demanded. It has to be earned repeatedly.”

The Question That Changed His Direction

After years of working in environments where verification and transparency were fundamental, Akash began looking at everyday consumer choices through a similar lens.

A simple question stayed with him: If transparency matters when organisations make important decisions, shouldn’t consumers expect the same confidence when choosing the food they consume every day?

That question gradually became the bridge between investigation and entrepreneurship. Consumers today have access to more information than ever before. They read labels, compare products, question ingredients and increasingly want to understand the brands behind what they purchase.

Packaging can create attention. Advertising can create awareness. But neither can replace credibility.

Akash saw an opportunity not simply to establish another FMCG company, but to build a consumer brand influenced by the principles that had defined his professional career – verification, accountability, consistency and trust. That vision became HALDIVA INDIA.

HALDIVA INDIA: Tradition for the Modern Indian Consumer

HALDIVA INDIA was established with a long-term vision of bringing traditional Indian food and wellness products to contemporary households while developing the business around responsible practices, quality consciousness and transparency.

Explore the brand: www.haldivaindia.com

Its growing portfolio includes A2 Desi Gir Cow Bilona Ghee, traditional oils, honey and honey-based products, spices, tea, healthy food offerings and everyday wellness essentials.

The brand also places emphasis on traditional processes in products such as its A2 Gir Cow Bilona Ghee while combining them with modern quality and testing practices.

For the founders, however, the portfolio represents only one part of the company they intend to build. The larger ambition is to create an organisation where product quality, responsible sourcing and consumer confidence remain important even as the business expands.

In an intensely competitive consumer market, visibility can be created relatively quickly. Credibility takes considerably longer.

Build credibility before scale.

“A Golden Touch to a Healthy Life.”

Three Founders. Different Expertise. One Vision.

Akash Singh Thakur – Founder

Akash brings experience across forensic investigations, vigilance, compliance, governance, risk assessment and strategic planning. His investigative background has influenced the company’s emphasis on accountability, documentation, transparency and structured decision-making. Within HALDIVA INDIA, his focus extends across strategic development, brand building, partnerships, governance and strengthening the systems required for sustainable growth.

Connect with Akash Singh Thakur: @aakashsinghthakur.in

Dr. Prassan M. Tripathi – Co-Founder

Dr. Prassan M. Tripathi, an Orthopaedic Surgeon and Founder of NethraJyoti Eye Hospital, brings the perspective of a healthcare professional to the organisation. His experience contributes a people-oriented dimension to a company operating across the food and wellness space, while also supporting its broader approach towards responsible growth and consumer awareness.

Connect with Dr. Prassan M. Tripathi: @prassantripathi

Yogesh Kumar Payasi – Co-Founder

Yogesh Kumar Payasi contributes to business operations, execution and market development, helping translate the company’s broader strategy into everyday processes and commercial expansion.

The three founders bring together perspectives from investigation and governance, healthcare, and business operations. Their professional journeys may be different, but their objective is shared: to build an Indian brand capable of earning consumer confidence over years – not merely securing a first purchase.

Growing Without Losing Accountability

HALDIVA INDIA is steadily developing its presence across e-commerce, quick commerce, retail and distribution networks, connecting traditional Indian food and wellness categories with the way modern consumers discover and purchase products.

For Akash, however, expansion alone is not the definition of success. Growth matters only when the systems supporting it remain dependable.

That means continuing to strengthen product standards, sourcing practices, quality processes, communication, internal systems and accountability towards customers and business partners.

In investigation, a claim requires evidence.
In business, a promise requires delivery.

Technology Can Accelerate a Business. Trust Must Sustain It.

Artificial Intelligence, digital commerce, quick commerce and data-led marketing are rapidly changing how Indian businesses operate.

For emerging brands, technology has reduced traditional barriers to reaching customers. A business can enter new markets faster, communicate directly with consumers and analyse changing preferences with a level of speed that would have been difficult to imagine a decade ago.

Akash sees enormous potential in these developments. At the same time, his investigative background has made him equally conscious of another reality: technology can accelerate communication and commerce, but it cannot manufacture genuine credibility.

A company can become visible quickly. Reputation still has to be earned.

For Akash, innovation and ethics therefore cannot operate separately. Sustainable businesses will increasingly need to combine technology with responsibility, growth with accountability and ambition with strong internal systems.

Building for the Next Decade, Not the Next Trend

HALDIVA INDIA remains in an important stage of its growth journey, and its founders are conscious of building that journey progressively.

The ambition is not to present the company as something it has yet to become, but to steadily create the foundations required to take it there.

That includes expanding distribution, strengthening digital commerce, developing the product portfolio, building partnerships and creating systems capable of supporting responsible growth.

Most importantly, it means ensuring that the original purpose does not disappear beneath the pressure to scale.

For Akash Singh Thakur, entrepreneurship is therefore not as distant from forensic investigation as it may initially appear. Both require patience. Both require attention to detail. Both demand accountability. And ultimately, both depend upon credibility.

The difference is that today, instead of examining trust after something has gone wrong, he is attempting to build it into an organisation from the beginning.

Build credibility before scale.
Build relationships before transactions.
Build trust before chasing trends.

Markets will change. Technologies will evolve. Consumer preferences will shift.
Trust remains much harder to replace.

The inauguration marked the new chapter for the re-envisioned Handloom Haat: The Handloom Experience Centre, conceived as a public destination bringing together India’s handloom heritage, knowledge, contemporary design, enterprise and retail under one roof.

Speaking at the exhibition, Shri Giriraj Singh said, “Our focus is to strengthen the handloom ecosystem by improving incomes, expanding market access and creating new opportunities for our weavers. Our aim is that every weaver should be able to earn an annual income of at least ₹5 lakh. We are connecting weavers from villages to markets across India and the world through e-commerce, while also strengthening domestic demand. Handloom has a naturally lower carbon footprint and immense potential to emerge as a sustainable fabric for fashion, clothing and home décor. Through new design interventions and collaboration with institutions such as IIT Delhi, we want to take India’s handloom, art, heritage and craftsmanship to every corner of the world.”

Re-envisioned Handloom Haat marked its inauguration alongside Weave the Future 5.0, celebrating the enduring relevance of India’s handloom sector while exploring the future of regenerative materials within the textile ecosystem.

Dr. M. Beena, Development Commissioner (Handlooms), Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, said “Weave The Future 5.0 brings together the past and the future of Indian textiles in one space.

This edition, with 30+ curated brands and craft communities from across the nation, shows how regenerative materials and traditional knowledge can come together to build a textile future that is resilient, responsible, and rooted in India’s own soil.

New Delhi [India], August 17: A gently unhinged love letter to soft baby clothes, small humans, and the Indian brand quietly winning the war.

No one prepares you for the laundry.

You are handed a baby, a tiny, gurgling, astonishingly leaky human, and somewhere in the fine print, they forget to mention that this creature will burn through outfits at the pace of a Formula 1 pit crew.

Breakfast happens. An “incident” happens. A mysterious second incident happens before you have even located the wet wipes. By 9 a.m., you have done three costume changes, and your child has, frankly, outperformed most film stars.

So, you go looking.

You type the very sensible things every parent eventually types into their phone at midnight: cutest baby clothes in India. Softest baby clothes in India. Something, anything, that is soft, cute, and won’t dissolve the first time it meets a washing machine.

And here you run straight into the great cruel joke of children’s fashion: the adorable stuff is scratchy, the soft stuff is beige and joyless, and the pieces that are somehow both cost roughly the same as your own wardrobe.

This is the exact hole in the universe that Anaario, an Indian label founded by Meenal Malhotra, cheerfully climbed into.

Let’s start with fabric, because babies are essentially tiny, sensitive-skinned aristocrats who will file a formal complaint, loudly, at 3 a.m., about anything remotely itchy.

Anaario makes its clothes in soft cotton and bamboo, and yes, bamboo baby clothes are exactly as delightful as they sound. Bamboo fabric is silky, breathable, and so cooling that in an Indian summer, it feels less like clothing and more like a personal apology from the weather.

Add proper soft cotton baby clothes to that, gentle enough for newborns and toddlers alike, and you get outfits your baby will actually tolerate, which, if you’ve met a baby, is the whole ballgame.

Soft, breathable comfort is where every Anaario piece begins.

Then there’s the colour.

Anaario clearly never received the memo that children must be dressed exclusively in oatmeal. Their pieces are loud, joyful, and gloriously playful, colourful kids’ clothing that looks the way a four-year-old’s imagination sounds.

There is an Anaario pink baby dress so cheerful it could settle minor family disputes. There are prints that appear to have been designed by someone who has actually met a child and, remarkably, liked them.

“I wanted clothes as fun as the kids wearing them,” says Malhotra, which explains a great deal, including why nothing in the collection looks like it belongs in a gloomy hospital waiting room.

But funny clothes that fall apart stop being funny very quickly, and this is where Anaario stops joking around.

Everything is handmade, real handmade baby clothes, stitched with the kind of care that survives a toddler who treats the floor as optional.

Better still, the colours are colour-fast, which means that unlike your patience, they do not fade. You can wash the pink dress forty times and it stays pink, not the sad, ghostly ex-pink that most baby clothes fade into by week two.

And now the part that keeps both the accountants and the planet happy: Anaario is made to order.

Nothing is over-produced.

Instead of factories churning out mountains of clothes destined for a landfill, each piece is made only when someone actually wants it. That is what makes the brand genuinely sustainable, not in the smug, tote-bag-lecturing way, but in the quiet, sensible way, where the waste simply never gets created in the first place.

You order it, they make it, and no planet is harmed in the joyful dressing of your child.

There’s a happy financial twist, too.

Because these clothes are durable, built to last through spills, siblings, and the general demolition-derby lifestyle of a toddler, they turn out to be genuinely affordable in the way that counts.

Cheap clothes you replace every fortnight are the expensive ones. Well-made clothes you hand down to the next baby are the cost-effective ones.

Anaario sits firmly in the second camp, a fact your bank account will notice even if your child, currently busy eating a crayon, does not.

The real trick is that none of this asks anything of you.

You no longer have to choose between cute and soft, between joyful and long-lasting, between good for the baby and good for the world.

You simply buy Anaario’s baby and toddler clothes online in India, they arrive, and for once your child is dressed in something that ticks every box you didn’t think you were allowed to ask for.

So, the next time you’re three outfit changes deep before breakfast, quietly weeping into a laundry basket, take heart: there is a smarter way to lose the baby-clothes war.

It’s soft. It’s bamboo and cotton. It’s absurdly cute, colour-fast, handmade, sustainable and, miracle of miracles, it actually survives your child.

It’s called Anaario.

Go on, you’ve earned the browse anaario.in

Suhel Seth, Esha Dutta, Rituparna Sengupta, Sundeep Bhutoria, Bickram Ghosh, and Vivek Ojha at the Khuti Puja of Manicktala Chaltabagan Lohapatty Durga Puja, Kolkata

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 17: One bamboo pole for ceremonial worship went into the ground at the Manicktala Chaltabagan Lohapatty premises on Friday evening — and with it, north Kolkata began counting down to Durga Puja. The Khuti Puja, the ritual that plants the pandal’s first pole and, by tradition, opens the year’s work, marked the start of the committee’s 84th year, held on the eve of the country’s 80th Independence Day.

The ceremony at the pandal premises was hosted by Sundeep Bhutoria, Chairman of the Manicktala Chaltabagan Lohapatty Durga Puja Committee, and drew actor Rituparna Sengupta, percussionist Bickram Ghosh, author and brand strategist Suhel Seth, and Jorasanko MLA Vijay Ojha. They were joined by Shishir Bajoria, President of the puja’s Inauguration Committee 2026, and committee office-bearers Ashok Jaiswal (President), Rajesh Bihani (Vice Chairman) and Rajesh Jaiswal (Secretary).

“Durga Puja is Bengal’s greatest act of collective imagination. The Khuti Puja is where our year truly begins,” said Sundeep Bhutoria. “For 84 years this puja has belonged to the neighbourhood as much as to the Committee, and it is that shared ownership we carry into the months of preparation ahead.”

For Rituparna Sengupta, a regular at the pandal across seasons, the appeal is as much habit as occasion. “Khuti Puja has been organised wonderfully, as always. Sundeep Bhutoria organises it every year, and I love coming to Chaltabagan for various occasions, whether it is the Durga Puja inauguration or Sindoor Khela,” she said. “I have a special affection for this pandal. Durga Puja is the festival closest to every Bengali’s heart. I hope that, like every year, we celebrate it together, putting aside all our differences — spreading love and celebrating the spirit of togetherness.”

Shishir Bajoria said this year’s celebration would place ritual on an equal footing with festivity. “Perhaps, for the first time, Durga Puja will be celebrated not merely as a festivity, but with a greater emphasis on Sanatani rituals and traditions,” he said. “I hope the rituals and festivities will beautifully coexist, preserving both the spiritual essence and the celebratory spirit of the festival.”

Jorasanko MLA Vijay Ojha framed the season against the state’s wider mood. “This year marks a new beginning and a departure from the political culture that has been cultivated in the state over the past 50 years,” he said.

The evening also carried the first hint of what visitors will walk into this October. Artist Aditi Chakraborty, who has conceptualised this year’s theme, offered a single word — and deliberately left room around it.

“If I were to sum up this year’s theme in one word, it would be ‘Nishan’ — a symbol that can carry multiple meanings,” she said. “My work will explore one of those interpretations, with my focus continuing to remain on people from marginalised communities, while keeping the essence of the theme relevant to the present times.”

About Manicktala Chaltabagan Lohapatty Durga Puja

Now in its 84th year, the Manicktala Chaltabagan Lohapatty Durga Puja is among north Kolkata’s best-known community pujas, drawing lakhs of visitors each autumn for its themed pandals and its long association with artists, performers and public figures. The puja is organised by the Manicktala Chaltabagan Lohapatty Durga Puja Committee. Founded in 1943 as a modest celebration in a small shop, the Chaltabagan Durga Puja has grown into one of Kolkata’s most celebrated community pujas, situated near the residence of the great social reformer Raja Ram Mohan Roy. Chaltabagan has many firsts to its credit: the first puja in Kolkata to elevate the Khuti Puja, Dhak Utsav and Sindur Khela into signature city events — graced over the years by successive Hon’ble Governors, foreign Consuls General and eminent citizens — the first to be lit by solar power, among the first to build our mandap from recycled, eco-friendly materials. The puja committee remains equally devoted to social welfare through blood donation camps, wheelchair assistance for the elderly and differently-abled, and puja parikramas for senior citizens.

Whistling Woods International Campus at Mumbai.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 15: Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Agriculture (MACCIA), the Apex Chamber of the State, collaborated with Whistling Woods International (WWI), India’s premier institute for Film, Communication and Creative Arts, to commemorate National Handloom Day. The collaboration brought together craft, fashion and creative education to celebrate India’s rich handloom heritage.

The event celebrated the “My Handloom, My Pride” movement through Weaves on the Runway – The Handloom Fashion Spectacle, a grand initiative dedicated to India’s rich handloom traditions and the invaluable contributions of weavers, artisans, designers and homegrown brands.

As part of the collaboration, students from WWI’s School of Fashion & Costume Design created a live installation celebrating the journey of a textile from raw thread to a finished garment, showcasing the beauty, craftsmanship, and evolution of handloom textiles. They also contributed to the fashion showcase by draping models in exquisite Tisser sarees and bringing traditional textiles to life through contemporary styling. The fashion show brought together textiles and the diversity of drapes, drawing inspiration from mythology, royalty, commoners, and the evolving generation of textile enthusiasts. It also represented the journey of weavers and vendors who, in the erstwhile marketplace, brought textiles to the doorstep of an eager customer.

WWI students further supported the coordination and execution of the event, gaining valuable hands-on experience in event management, fashion presentation, and industry collaboration.

The celebration was graced by distinguished dignitaries, including Ms. Farhana Ahmed Chawdhury, Deputy High Commissioner of Bangladesh in Mumbai; Ms. Nidhi Choudhari, IAS and Director, National Gallery of Modern Art; Dr. Dhanashri Hardas, Vice President and Chairperson of the Women Entrepreneurs Committee, MACCIA; Shri Ravindra Mangave, President, MACCIA; Vedanshu Patil, Managing Committee Member, MACCIA; and Amruta Joshi, GC Member, MACCIA, along with WWI students and faculty.

Speaking about the collaboration, Meghna Ghai Puri, President, Whistling Woods International, said, “It is a matter of great pride to see our students use their creativity to celebrate India’s rich handloom heritage. Collaborations such as these allow students to take their learning beyond the classroom while understanding the cultural significance and craftsmanship behind our textiles. We are delighted to have been part of this meaningful celebration with MACCIA.”

Dr. Dhanashri Hardas, Vice President, MACCIA, said, “National Handloom Day is an opportunity to honour India’s extraordinary weaving traditions and the artisans who have preserved them across generations. We are proud to collaborate with Whistling Woods International, whose students brought creativity and enthusiasm to the celebration through their live installation, work with Tisser sarees, and event coordination. Their contribution added a distinctive dimension while giving young talent an opportunity to engage meaningfully with our rich handloom heritage and carry these traditions forward”

The collaboration highlighted the importance of preserving India’s textile traditions while encouraging the next generation of creative professionals to engage with and reinterpret them through contemporary perspectives.

New Delhi [India], August 17: Shyam Group, a leading real estate developer specializing in India’s first planned smart city – Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), successfully hosted the grand launch event of its latest commercial offering, ‘Dholera Iconic,’ on August 16, 2026, at Crowne Plaza, Twin District Centre, Sector 10, Rohini, New Delhi. The high-profile event witnessed a remarkable turnout of investors, retailers, business owners, and industry stakeholders from the Delhi NCR region, underscoring the growing national interest in Dholera’s transformative commercial and industrial growth story.

The evening belonged to special celebrity guest Sapna Choudhary, whose electrifying performance turned the high-profile real estate event into a spectacular entertainment gala. The renowned actor and performer, known for her massive fan following across North India, set the stage ablaze with her energetic dance moves and charismatic presence. Dressed in a traditional ensemble, Choudhary enthralled the audience of over 500 investors, business leaders, and commercial buyers, taking time to interact with attendees and pose for photographs. Her appearance drew thunderous applause, injecting a vibrant festive spirit into the proceedings and generating significant buzz on social media throughout the evening.

Beyond the star-studded entertainment, the event marked a pivotal milestone for Shyam Group’s expansion into the Delhi NCR market. ‘Dholera Iconic’ is the company’s flagship commercial project in Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), India’s first greenfield smart city along the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. With the Gujarat government allocating 610 crore for infrastructure development in the 2026–27 budget and rapid progress on key connectivity projects—including a 6-lane expressway and the upcoming Dholera International Airport—the region is witnessing unprecedented momentum. Dholera SIR is projected to generate around 8 lakh high-skill jobs and house 20 lakh residents by 2047, creating massive demand for organized commercial spaces.

‘Dholera Iconic’ is strategically positioned to offer investors and business owners a prime foothold in this booming commercial ecosystem. Unlike residential offerings, this project is exclusively designed for business growth, featuring high-street retail shops, premium showrooms, a dedicated food court, and modern, flexible office spaces. The development capitalizes on Dholera’s world-class infrastructure, including the 6-lane expressway, the upcoming international airport, advanced utility corridors, and Asia’s largest solar park, making it an ideal destination for retail and corporate enterprises seeking long-term value in a sustainable urban hub.

Mr. Sudhir A Patel, Chairman & Managing Director, Shyam Group, expressed his enthusiasm about the launch and the project’s commercial potential, stating: “With Dholera’s infrastructure accelerating and majors like Tata and Adani investing heavily, our new project ‘Dholera Iconic’ represents a premier commercial destination. Offering retail shops, showrooms, food courts, and modern office spaces, it is designed to cater to the rising business demand in India’s smartest city. The overwhelming response from Delhi NCR investors reaffirms their confidence in Dholera’s commercial potential. We are committed to delivering transparent, RERA-approved commercial developments that promise strong capital appreciation and robust business opportunities.”

Hardik Shah, Director, Shyam Group – Dholera SIR, added: “The rapid infrastructure growth, including the expressway and the upcoming international airport, makes Dholera a hotspot for commercial investments. ‘Dholera Iconic’ is strategically crafted to provide high-visibility retail and office spaces within a world-class ecosystem. The enthusiastic participation from the Delhi NCR business community reflects their trust in our vision. We are dedicated to setting new benchmarks in commercial real estate, ensuring our investors and business partners reap the maximum benefits of Dholera’s transformation.”

Shyam Group, established in 2013, has developed over 12.33 lakh sq. ft. of land in Dholera SIR, with plans to deliver 15 lakh sq. ft. by 2030. The grand launch, amplified by Sapna Choudhary’s star appeal, successfully cemented ‘Dholera Iconic’ as a top-tier commercial investment destination for both domestic and NRI buyers seeking high-growth retail and office assets in India’s smart city of the future.

The programme marks Bapu’s 40th Ram Katha in the United States

Burgas [Bulgaria], August 17: Morari Bapu’s 982nd Ram Katha, titled ‘Manas Guru Prasad’, began in the US on August 15, marking his 40th such Katha in the country. Organised by Lord Dolar Popat and his family, the Ram Katha is being held from August 15 to 23 at Sanders Theatre, Memorial Hall, Harvard University.

The commencement of the Katha on India’s 80th Independence Day added a special significance to the occasion. The programme began with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp and Vedic ghanapath, followed by a welcome ceremony by the organisers and Lord Dolar Popat. Saints and spiritual leaders from India, Katha narrators, writers, scholars, thinkers and other guests were present at the opening.

Speaking on the significance of the occasion, Bapu described the coming together of the venue and the spiritual gathering as a meeting of ‘hard work and heart work’. He said that the world today needs the language of saints and expressed his gratitude for the welcome and respect extended to the programme.

“This was meant to happen, and therefore it is happening. This is not historical, it is spiritual,” Bapu said

Describing the Ramcharitmanas as a sadgrantha, or a noble scripture, with universal relevance, he highlighted truth, love and compassion as its three foundational principles. He also said that it should not merely be worshipped as a text, but should be lived and practised.

“Until a word becomes an action, nothing really comes of it. This is a scripture meant to be lived,” Bapu said.

Explaining the distinction between a granth and a granthi, Bapu said a granthi is an inner knot that makes a person hold on to and protect rejection, while a granth opens a path from rejection towards acceptance.

Reflecting on the setting of the Katha, Bapu said the presence of the Ramcharitmanas at a university was not unusual, given that literature regards it as a mahakavya or great epic. He noted that Goswami Tulsidasji described it not merely as a great epic but also as a mahamantra.

He also spoke about the need to move beyond the worldly and the other-worldly to discover what is original and fundamental.

During the first day, Bapu narrated the story of Kunala and Emperor Ashoka to illustrate the destructive nature of rejection and the transformative power of compassion. He also reflected on the structure of the Manas, including its seven stages, and the sequence of salutations to the deities, the Guru and the characters of the Ramayana.

“I have no mission, but I do have a sweet aspiration that the heart becomes a thinker and the intellect rises beyond the three gunas,” Bapu said.

The ongoing Ram Katha is also significant for marking the first celebration of Tulsi Janmotsav outside India. Around 50 Katha narrators from different parts of India, along with Gujarati writers, poets, artists and eminent personalities from different fields, are participating in the celebrations. Tulsi Janmotsav will be observed on August 19, on the occasion of Tulsi Jayanti.

Alongside the daily Ram Katha, evening sessions featuring discourses by scholars and eminent speakers will also be held during the nine-day programme.

Morari Bapu has previously conducted 39 Ram Kathas in the US. The ongoing ‘Manas Guru Prasad’ Ram Katha marks his 40th Ram Katha on American soil and his 982nd Ram Katha overall

New Delhi [India], August 17: India’s para-sports ecosystem is witnessing growing momentum around athlete development, structured training, international exposure and stronger global sporting collaborations. In this evolving landscape, Yogesh Sharma (Shelly), Director of Para Athlete Development & Special Programs, Para Powerlifting, Paralympic Committee of India, has been actively involved in initiatives aimed at strengthening opportunities and support systems for Indian para athletes.

Yogesh Shelly’s work focuses on para athlete development, talent identification, athlete welfare, competition support and special sporting programmes, with particular emphasis on Para Powerlifting. His involvement extends from supporting athletes at competitive events to strengthening organised pathways for emerging para-sport talent.

International Engagement in Russia

Yogesh Shelly’s recent international engagement in Russia brought further attention to the importance of global collaboration in para sports. During the Indian Para Powerlifting contingent’s Moscow 2026 engagement, he met Pavel Alekseevich Rozhkov, President of the Russian Paralympic Committee, with discussions centred on para-athlete development, sporting opportunities and international cooperation.

The interaction provided an opportunity to exchange perspectives on athlete preparation, competitive exposure, training systems and the development of para-sports programmes. Such international engagements can contribute to greater exchange of experience between sporting administrators and help create additional opportunities for athletes competing at the international level.

Indian Para Powerlifting Team Delivers Strong Performance in Moscow

The engagement coincided with the participation of the Indian Para Powerlifting team in the Moscow International Para-Powerlifting Competition among Combat Veterans, held in Moscow, Russia, from 6 to 10 August 2026.

India recorded a notable performance at the competition, with two athletes securing gold medals.

Pradeep Joon won first place and the gold medal in the Men’s 107 kg category, recording a best lift of 193 kg.

Shubham Chakrawarty also secured first place and a gold medal in the Men’s 54 kg category, with a best lift of 120 kg.

Meanwhile, Rao Suhail finished fourth in the Men’s 72 kg category, recording a best lift of 121 kg.

The results added another positive chapter to India’s growing presence in international Para Powerlifting and highlighted the competitive potential of Indian athletes on global platforms.

Bangkok Championship Further Strengthened India’s Presence

The Moscow engagement followed India’s strong showing at the Asia Oceania Para Powerlifting Championship 2026 in Bangkok, where the Indian contingent finished with an impressive 34 medals — 6 gold, 10 silver and 18 bronze.

Yogesh Sharma (Shelly) was associated with the championship as an official representative from Punjab, supporting and coordinating with athletes during the international competition.

The Bangkok performance further demonstrated the depth of Indian para-powerlifting talent and the importance of providing athletes with regular international competitive exposure.

Strengthening Para Athlete Development in Punjab

Yogesh Shelly’s responsibilities also extend to developing a stronger support structure for para athletes at the regional level.

In February 2026, he was appointed Director of Para Athlete Development & Special Programs, India Para Powerlifting. Around the same period, a dedicated Para Powerlifting office was inaugurated in Samana, Patiala, under his leadership, with the objective of improving athlete guidance, training coordination and support for para athletes in the region.

The initiative is aimed at helping athletes access better organised sporting opportunities while creating a more structured pathway from development stages to national and international competition.

Focus on International Collaboration and Athlete Opportunities

The meeting with Pavel Alekseevich Rozhkov, together with India’s participation in the Moscow competition, highlights the increasing importance of international sporting relationships in the development of para sports.

For para athletes, exposure to international competitions can provide valuable experience in high-level competition, preparation and performance. At the same time, interactions between sporting officials and international para-sports organisations can encourage the exchange of knowledge and best practices.

Yogesh Shelly’s continued involvement in Para Powerlifting reflects this broader emphasis on building an organised and sustainable athlete-development ecosystem.

With Indian para athletes continuing to achieve significant results at international championships, the focus on Para Athlete Development & Special Programs is becoming increasingly important in identifying talent, supporting athletes and creating pathways for them to compete successfully on the global stage.

The recent Moscow engagement, the meeting with Russian Paralympic Committee President Pavel Alekseevich Rozhkov, and the strong performances by Indian athletes together underline the growing international footprint of Indian Para Powerlifting.

Standalone Revenue Grows 37.4% YoY | Consolidated Revenue Grows 15.9% YoY

The Board of Directors of Jinkushal Industries Limited (“Jinkushal” or “the Company”), at its meeting held today, approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, prepared in accordance with applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 and Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS).

Jinkushal continued its growth momentum during Q1 FY27, with standalone revenue from operations increasing 37.4% year-on-year to ₹5,129.42 lakhs from ₹3,732.17 lakhs in Q1 FY26. Consolidated revenue from operations increased 15.9% year-on-year to ₹5,656.55 lakhs from ₹4,882.41 lakhs. The growth was delivered amid continued geopolitical uncertainty, volatility in international freight and trade routes, currency movements, and uneven market conditions across geographies.

Financial Performance Snapshot

Standalone Financial Performance (₹ in lakhs)

Consolidated Financial Performance (₹ in lakhs)

Continued Growth in International Business

Standalone revenue increased 37.4% year-on-year during Q1 FY27, continuing the growth momentum witnessed during FY26. Over the longer term, standalone revenue from operations has increased from ₹2,430.03 lakhs in FY20 to ₹31,337.61 lakhs in FY26, representing a CAGR of approximately 53% over the six-year period.

The construction and mining equipment business is influenced by infrastructure and mining activity, commodity cycles, international trade conditions, customer buying cycles and the timing of equipment transactions. In an export-led business such as Jinkushal’s, individual quarters are also affected by procurement and refurbishment timelines, international shipping schedules, overseas inventory positioning and the timing of delivery and sale to external customers. Revenue and profitability can therefore vary between quarters while the business develops over a longer period.

Organisational Capability for Future Growth

During FY26, the Company significantly strengthened its organisation across operations, procurement, execution, finance, marketing, international sales and business development. This investment continued into Q1 FY27. On a consolidated basis, employee benefit expenses increased to approximately ₹383.43 lakhs in Q1 FY27 from ₹220.99 lakhs in Q1 FY26, an increase of approximately 74% year-on-year.

The increase reflects the deliberate strengthening of management and operating teams as the scale and geographic spread of the business increases. Experienced professionals have been added across key functions and international markets to strengthen execution capability, customer coverage, financial controls and business development. The strengthened organisation is expected to support higher business volumes, wider geographic reach and improved execution capability as the business scales.

Major cost movements during the Quarter

The increase in shipping charges was materially higher than the growth in turnover during the quarter and reflected elevated international freight and logistics costs. Profitability was also influenced by the business and product mix during the quarter, with new equipment generally carrying lower margins than the used and refurbished equipment business. Further, HexL is currently at an initial stage of development, resulting in relatively higher expenditure towards product development, market development, brand building and distribution capabilities at the current scale of operations.

Inventory Positioning to Support Growth

The Group continued its strategy of maintaining inventory closer to international markets and customers. As at June 30, 2026, consolidated inventory stood at approximately ₹9,680 lakhs, of which approximately ₹8,440 lakhs was positioned at the overseas subsidiary, closer to international markets and customers. The strategy is intended to improve product availability, shorten delivery timelines, respond more effectively to customer requirements and support a greater mix of direct-customer and retail-oriented opportunities across international markets. For used and refurbished construction equipment in particular, availability of the right machine at the right location is an important element of customer conversion.

Higher inventory deployment also increases capital employed and lengthens the operating cycle. Management continues to monitor inventory conversion and capital utilisation with the objective of balancing growth opportunities with prudent working-capital management. 

Profitability and Operating Performance

Profitability during Q1 FY27 reflected the operating cost movements and business mix discussed above, including higher shipping costs and the increased organisational cost base.

At the consolidated level, quarterly profitability is additionally affected by the timing of inventory conversion and consolidation accounting. Inter-company transactions and profits attributable to inventory remaining within the Group at the reporting date are eliminated on consolidation and are recognised when the relevant inventory is sold to external customers.

Geographic Diversification and International Business Development

The Company continued to broaden its geographic revenue mix during Q1 FY27, with an increased contribution from African markets compared with the corresponding period of the previous year. Africa accounted for approximately 32% of revenue during Q1 FY27, compared with approximately 3% in Q1 FY26, reflecting the Company’s continued development of business across the region.

The Company continues to develop business across Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and other international markets. The geographic mix can vary between periods depending upon infrastructure activity, customer demand, import conditions, freight economics and specific opportunities available in individual markets.

The increasing contribution from newer and developing markets demonstrates the benefits of geographic diversification and reduces dependence on any single market. The Company continues to strengthen customer relationships and expand its international sales capabilities across both established and developing markets.

HexL – Development of the Proprietary Equipment Brand

The Company continued development and international expansion of HexL, its proprietary construction equipment brand. During the quarter, initiatives continued across product development, international marketing, customer engagement, dealer and distribution development and expansion into additional geographies. HexL remains an important long-term growth vertical alongside the Company’s established new/customised and used/refurbished equipment businesses.

Financial Discipline and Long-Term Perspective

The Company’s strengthened capital base following the IPO, together with enhanced banking facilities, has enabled it to support higher business volumes, overseas inventory positioning, international market development and organisational expansion. As the business grows, management remains focused on disciplined capital allocation, liquidity management, inventory conversion, working-capital efficiency, foreign-exchange risk management and sustainable profitability.

The objective is to support sustainable and profitable growth while maintaining appropriate controls over capital employed, working capital and liquidity.

Management Perspective

The immediate focus remains on strengthening execution, improving inventory conversion, developing international markets, building organisational capability, expanding the HexL brand and maintaining disciplined deployment of capital.

Management remains focused on sustainable and profitable growth, geographic diversification, prudent capital management and long-term value creation for all stakeholders.

New Delhi [India], August 14: India’s biggest beauty pageant, Miss Universe India 2026, is now entering its final phase. The journey, which began in Delhi, moved to Jaipur for the sash ceremony and then to Bengaluru for the swimsuit round. It has now reached Indore, where the finalists are undergoing grooming and training sessions at Unwind Resort. As the competition heads towards the grand finale, the finalists are locked in a fierce battle for the coveted Miss Universe India crown. Among them, National Finalist Shreya Bediya representing Madhya Pradesh, is proudly showcasing the culture, heritage and identity of her home state on one of the country’s biggest pageant platforms. Through her journey she has brought together fashion, purpose, entrepreneurship and social causes, positioning herself as a strong contender for the prestigious Miss Universe India crown.

The closing ceremony of the training camp and grooming sessions in Indore featured a special Bollywood Night, where all the finalists dressed up in Bollywood-inspired looks. Shreya recreated an iconic sari look of Sushmita Sen, India’s first Miss Universe, which received widespread appreciation from the audience. According to pageant and fashion experts, Shreya has consistently showcased a unique blend of her cultural roots and contemporary sensibilities at every stage of the competition, helping her steadily strengthen her position among the leading contenders. Speaking to the media on the occasion Shreya said representing Madhya Pradesh on the Miss Universe India stage is the greatest honour of my life.The fact that this journey is unfolding in my hometown, Indore, makes it even more emotional for me. Every time I step onto the stage, I carry with me the dreams, culture, and spirit of my state.

Where Couture Meets Culture

A fashion enthusiast with an eye for storytelling, Shreya has transformed her wardrobe into a tribute to Madhya Pradesh’s artistic legacy. Drawing inspiration from Bagh Print, the timeless elegance of Maheshwari textiles, and the ancient murals of the Bagh Caves, she has created couture that seamlessly blends heritage with contemporary pageant fashion.

Recognising that Madhya Pradesh has never had a universally recognised traditional attire, she envisioned and conceptualised a contemporary ensemble that captures the essence of the state’s history and craftsmanship, bringing centuries-old art into the spotlight of modern pageantry.

A Global Vision, Rooted in Home

Currently pursuing studies in Fashion and Luxury in Paris, Shreya is building an international understanding of luxury, design and brand creation while preparing for her future as an entrepreneur. She hopes to take India’s rich textile heritage to a global audience by creating ventures that celebrate traditional craftsmanship through a modern, international lens.

Representing Madhya Pradesh Beyond the Stage

Beyond the competition arena, Shreya has transformed her digital platforms into a celebration of Madhya Pradesh. Through engaging content, she highlights the state’s architecture, tourism, art, traditions, culture and achievements, presenting its identity to audiences across the country in a contemporary and aspirational way.

She has also carried the warmth of Indore wherever she goes. As a heartfelt gesture, Shreya presented her fellow Miss Universe India finalists with specially curated Rajwada-inspired souvenirs, sharing the history, hospitality and cultural pride of her hometown with contestants from across India.

Beauty with Purpose

For Shreya, wearing a crown is meaningful only when it creates opportunities to serve.

She proudly supports the Indore Cancer Foundation, Rau, an institution that has dedicated nearly four decades to ensuring that no cancer patient is denied treatment because of financial hardship. Equipped with advanced medical technology and comprehensive cancer care facilities, the foundation provides free, world-class treatment to economically disadvantaged patients while offering compassionate care throughout their journey. Through her platform, Shreya hopes to encourage greater awareness about early cancer detection and inspire collective action towards making quality healthcare accessible for every individual.

She is equally passionate about supporting the education of underprivileged children, believing that education has the power to transform lives, unlock opportunities and build stronger communities.

A Tribute to India’s First Miss Universe

During the Bollywood Night, Shreya recreated an iconic look of Sushmita Sen, India’s first Miss Universe—a tribute to the woman who transformed Indian pageantry and a reminder that the Miss Universe journey has always stood for purpose beyond the crown.

A New Face of Indian Pageantry

For Shreya, the Miss Universe India platform celebrates women who lead with confidence, purpose and authenticity.

As she continues her journey towards the Miss Universe India crown, Shreya hopes to create history by bringing the title to Madhya Pradesh. Poised, articulate and purpose-driven, she represents the evolving face of Indian pageantry—one that proudly celebrates its roots, embraces global aspirations and uses every opportunity to create meaningful impact, inspiring generations of women to lead with confidence, embrace their individuality and create positive meaningful change.

New Delhi [India], August 15: Childhood memories often remain deeply connected to the places where people first experienced friendship, independence, discipline, and the challenges of growing up. Dr Soumitra Ghosh’s Echoes from Sainik School – A Memoir of Brotherhood and Growing Up takes readers into the world of Sainik School Purulia, drawing upon his eight years at the institution from 1972 to 1980.

At the heart of the memoir is the experience of growing up away from home. Having entered Sainik School Purulia as a ten-year-old boy, Dr Ghosh recalls the distinctive routines and experiences that shaped his formative years. Early-morning drills, parade grounds, hostel life, the Dining Hall, Saturday evenings, punishments, pranks, and school activities become part of a larger story about childhood and growing independence.

A significant theme of Echoes from Sainik School is brotherhood and camaraderie. The book explores friendships formed during childhood and how relationships created in school can remain meaningful decades later. Shared routines, challenges, homesickness, humor and mischief create bonds that extend beyond the school years, surviving distance, changing professions and the passage of time.

The memoir also examines the role of discipline in shaping young lives. Life at a Sainik School demanded responsibility, performance and adherence to routines, while simultaneously providing opportunities for friendship, exploration and personal growth. Through these experiences, the book reflects on how discipline, failure, punishment, responsibility and independence can become important lessons that are understood more fully with age.

Rather than focusing only on nostalgia, the book looks at how childhood experiences influence adult identity. The memories of teachers, seniors and friends are presented alongside the ordinary moments that may have seemed insignificant at the time but gained greater meaning when viewed from the distance of several decades.

Another important element of the memoir is its portrayal of boarding-school life. The transition from home to an institutional environment brings its own challenges, including separation from family, homesickness and the need to adapt to unfamiliar routines. At the same time, the experience creates a strong sense of community among students who share the same living spaces, responsibilities, and adventures.

Echoes from Sainik School also offers a glimpse into a particular period of school life in India. The memories of drills, hostel routines, teachers, seniors, punishments, and school traditions provide an authentic picture of an environment in which young boys were expected to develop discipline and resilience while navigating the ordinary joys and difficulties of adolescence.

The memoir’s emotional center lies in the idea that people may leave places behind without necessarily leaving them emotionally. For Dr Ghosh, the years spent at Sainik School Purulia remained present through memories of friendships, teachers, laughter, mischief, and lessons learned. The book becomes an attempt to preserve those experiences before the details gradually disappear with time.

At the same time, the memoir invites readers to reflect on their own childhoods. Readers who have experienced boarding schools or hostel life may recognize the emotions and situations described in the book, while others may be reminded of their own school friends, teachers, adventures and forgotten memories.

Ultimately, Echoes from Sainik School is a tribute to a formative period of life and to the people who made those years memorable. It combines nostalgia with reflections on identity, resilience, friendship and transformation, offering readers a journey into a world where childhood friendships could become lifelong bonds and where the lessons of growing up continued long after leaving the school gates.

Being invited here and receiving the solar lamp made the day even more memorable for me,” said Sangita Babasaheb Jadhava, a woman farmer who attended the felicitation.

With over 2,000 babies benefitted since 2019, Surya Human Milk Bank combines advanced pasteurisation technology with sustained awareness efforts to strengthen neonatal nutrition

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 15: Surya Hospitals, a beacon of excellence in women and children’s healthcare, today highlighted a critical intervention in neonatal intensive care through its state-of-the-art Human Milk Bank. Marking India’s Independence Day with a focus on community service and following World Breastfeeding Week, the institution hosted a dedicated forum to honour donor mothers and underscore how human milk donation serves as a life-saving clinical lifeline for premature, low-birthweight, and medically vulnerable newborns.

Held following World Breastfeeding Week, the occasion brought attention to an important aspect of newborn care ensuring access to appropriate nutrition when a mother’s own milk is temporarily unavailable or insufficient. This also reinforced the importance of safe donor human milk as a clinically supported option for babies who require additional nutritional support during their early days of life.

Established in 2019, the Surya Human Milk Bank is among the largest human milk banks in the private healthcare sector and has, over the past seven years, supported more than 2,000 babies in need of donor human milk. Every year, approximately 100–120 low-birthweight babies at Surya Hospitals require breastmilk support as part of their clinical care.

The initiative addresses an important aspect of newborn nutrition by ensuring access to appropriately screened and processed donor human milk when a mother’s own milk is temporarily unavailable or insufficient. Human milk is particularly valuable for premature and low-birthweight babies as it is easier to digest and provides important nutritional and protective factors.

Dr. Bhupendra S. Avasthi, Founder, Chairman & Managing Director, Surya Hospitals, said, “The vision behind the Surya Human Milk Bank is to ensure that premature newborns who cannot receive sufficient mother’s milk have access to safe donor human milk. This Independence Day, we hope to reinforce that the spirit of freedom is also about giving every child a healthier start in life. Through rigorous screening, pasteurisation and controlled storage, we are committed to ensuring that quality-checked donor milk reaches eligible newborns. At the same time, we want to create greater awareness and address misconceptions around human milk donation so that more eligible mothers can make informed decisions and contribute to this meaningful cause.”

Artist and mother Jankee Mehta, who has personally contributed as a milk donor, joined the celebrations as Chief Guest and called for greater awareness among mothers about human milk donation. She said, “As a mother, knowing that your milk can help another baby grow stronger and healthier makes the act of giving truly meaningful. On Independence Day, as we celebrate the spirit of giving, I hope more eligible mothers become aware that surplus breastmilk can be donated safely and consider supporting babies who need it most.”

At the Human Milk Bank, donors undergo appropriate screening, while donated milk is tested, processed and pasteurised before being stored under controlled conditions. This multi-step process is designed to ensure that safe, quality-checked donor milk reaches babies who meet the clinical criteria for receiving it.

The hospital also provides counselling and medical guidance to address concerns around donation, including the misconception that donating milk could reduce the supply available for a mother’s own baby.

Dr. Hari Balasubramanian, Consultant, Neonatologist at Surya Hospitals said, “Healthy mothers with an adequate milk supply can generally consider donation following appropriate medical screening. The process involves counselling, screening, collection and safe processing. Professional guidance is important to help mothers make informed decisions while maintaining the required safety standards for donor milk.”

Surya Hospitals aims to further expand awareness around human milk donation, encourage more eligible mothers to become donors and strengthen access to donor milk, alongside continued breastfeeding education and support for new mothers.

The Independence Day recognition of donor mothers celebrates the spirit of giving, where one mother’s generosity can provide meaningful support to another baby during a critical stage of life.

Dr. Amit Mandal

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 15: In what is being described as a first-of-its-kind case in Eastern India, a multidisciplinary team at Peerless Hospital, Kolkata, has successfully performed an exceptionally complex, life-saving surgery on a 55-year-old woman from South Kolkata suffering from complex endometrial sarcoma with a massive tumour thrombus extending into the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC).

For the family, the recurrence of cancer after nearly a decade had brought back a familiar sense of fear and uncertainty. The patient had undergone surgery and radiotherapy for endometrial sarcoma 10 years ago and had remained disease-free for a decade.

She recently developed swelling in both legs and blood in her urine, prompting further medical evaluation. Investigations revealed that the cancer had returned in the abdomen and right pelvis. More significantly, advanced imaging showed a massive tumour thrombus extending into the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC)—the major blood vessel that carries blood from the lower part of the body back to the heart.

The unusual extent of the recurrence made the surgical procedure extremely challenging. At Peerless Hospital, Kolkata, the medical team determined that complete surgical resection offered the patient the best possible chance of achieving meaningful disease control.

A multidisciplinary team takes on an extraordinary challenge

Given the complexity of the case, a specialised multidisciplinary team comprising Gynae-Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Gastro-Oncology, Uro-Oncology, Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS), Anaesthesiology and Critical Care was constituted.

After detailed evaluation and medical optimisation, the patient underwent a complex surgery lasting nearly 10 hours.

A cystoscopy was first performed to confirm that there was no involvement of the urinary bladder. The team then opened the abdomen and proceeded with clearance of the pelvic tumour.

During the extensive tumour clearance, the right ureter sustained an injury. The Uro-Oncology team immediately addressed the complication and successfully re-implanted the ureter.

The Surgical and Gastro-Oncology teams then carefully mobilised the liver to expose the Inferior Vena Cava. The CTVS team created an artificial vascular bypass to temporarily divert blood flow, allowing the IVC to be safely clamped.

The tumour thrombus was meticulously removed, following which the IVC was repaired and re-sutured.

The surgery also involved advanced blood-conservation techniques. A Cell Saver system was used to collect, process and return the patient’s own blood lost during surgery. Remarkably, the entire procedure was completed without requiring a single unit of external donor blood.

Smooth recovery after a high-risk surgery

Despite the complexity and duration of the operation, the patient’s recovery was remarkably smooth. She was extubated on the first postoperative day and gradually resumed oral intake.

The minor post-operative complications were efficiently managed by the team. After a two-week hospital stay, the patient was discharged in a stable condition.

“This was an extraordinarily challenging operation because the recurrent tumour involved the pelvis and abdomen and had extended into the Inferior Vena Cava. Such a procedure requires meticulous planning and close coordination between multiple specialties. The ability to safely remove the tumour thrombus while preserving the patient’s vital blood circulation was a major surgical challenge. The successful outcome demonstrates the importance of a truly multidisciplinary approach in managing complex recurrent cancers,” said Dr. Amit Mandal Consultant Gynae Onco Surgeon, Peerless Hospital, Kolkata.

The case, described by the treating team as a first-of-its-kind surgical achievement in Eastern India, highlights the possibilities of advanced cancer surgery when expertise from multiple disciplines comes together.

The successful combination of complex oncological surgery, vascular reconstruction, urological intervention, anaesthetic management and blood-conservation technology provided the patient with a potentially life-saving treatment option in a situation that would traditionally have been considered extremely high-risk.

For the 55-year-old woman from South Kolkata, what began as the frightening return of a cancer after 10 disease-free years has now become a story of advanced medical expertise, teamwork and renewed hope.

Built on a decade of Indian payroll expertise and experience serving 25,000+ businesses and 1 million+ employees, KAI brings agentic execution to payroll and HR

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], August 14: As Indian businesses face increasing pressure to manage payroll accurately, remain compliant, and do more with leaner HR teams, Kredily today announced Kredily 3.0, a major evolution of its AI-first HRMS and payroll platform, introducing KAI, an agentic AI designed to execute payroll and HR workflows from plain-language instructions, alongside the launch of its AI-powered managed payroll services business. 

Unlike conventional HR software assistants that primarily answer questions, retrieve information, or generate summaries, KAI can take an instruction, perform permitted actions, validate outcomes, and surface exceptions for human approval. With 110+ skills across payroll, attendance, leave, employee information, and HR workflows, a user can ask KAI to pull today’s attendance, identify absences, process a leave request, generate a payroll report or run payroll for the month. Kredily is positioning KAI as India’s first agentic AI payroll agent built directly into an HRMS. 

“HR software has traditionally been a system people operate. Kredily 3.0 changes that model: you tell the system what needs to be done, and the agent executes the work within defined permissions and controls,” said Devendra Khandegar, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Kredily. “We have spent more than a decade building payroll technology for India and operating at the intersection of payroll, compliance, and HR for 25,000+ businesses. KAI brings that domain experience into an agentic architecture. At the same time, our managed payroll offering allows businesses that don’t want to operate payroll themselves to have Kredily run it for them. The goal is simple: less time operating software, more time making decisions.” 

Built on a decade of Indian payroll experience

KAI draws on more than a decade of Kredily’s experience building and operating payroll technology for India, across 25,000+ businesses and 1 million+ employees. 

That experience informs how KAI handles the realities of Indian payroll, including salary structures, attendance, leave, statutory deductions, compliance workflows, and payroll exceptions. Rather than functioning as a generic AI layer over an HR database, KAI is designed around the payroll and HR workflows businesses actually operate. 

Because payroll and employee information is sensitive, KAI operates within organisational permissions and defined guardrails. Actions can require human approval where appropriate, and activity is recorded through an audit trail, keeping organisations in control of consequential decisions. 

From payroll software to payroll execution

Kredily 3.0 combines KAI with its payroll and compliance infrastructure across PF, ESI, TDS, and Professional Tax. AI-driven validation helps identify discrepancies, missing information, unusual results, and potential compliance issues before payroll is finalised. 

The platform also connects attendance, leave, recruitment, background verification, onboarding, performance, and payroll through the same employee record. New Applicant Tracking, Background Verification, and Performance Management capabilities extend the employee lifecycle from Hire → Verify → Onboard → Manage → Pay. 

A new Workforce Intelligence layer analyses signals such as headcount, attrition, absenteeism, overtime, and payroll costs to identify workforce trends and potential areas requiring management attention. 

Kredily expands into managed payroll

Alongside Kredily 3.0, Kredily is launching an AI-powered managed payroll services business for organisations that want to outsource payroll operations while retaining the technology, visibility and controls of a modern payroll platform. 

The service combines Kredily’s payroll infrastructure, compliance engine, AI capabilities, and payroll operations expertise. Customers can choose to run payroll themselves using KAI, use Kredily with assisted support, or have payroll operations managed by Kredily. 

The expansion gives Kredily a broader operating model spanning payroll software, agentic automation, and managed payroll operations, extending the company’s role from providing payroll technology to operating payroll infrastructure for businesses. 

One year of Bharat Payroll OS access

To mark Independence Day, Kredily is opening one year of access to its Bharat Payroll OS Plan for eligible Indian businesses, including DPIIT-recognised startups and Udyam-registered MSMEs. Participating chartered accountant firms and CA partners can also extend the offering to their client organisations.

The initiative builds on Kredily’s Bharat Payroll OS programme, with the objective of making compliant payroll infrastructure more accessible to India’s startups, MSMEs, and growing businesses. 

With Kredily 3.0, the company is extending that proposition with an agentic payroll platform designed to do more of the operational work itself. 

About Kredily

Kredily is an AI-first HRMS and payroll platform built for Indian businesses, combining payroll, compliance, HR operations, recruitment, employee management, performance, and workforce intelligence in a connected platform built around India’s payroll and labour regulations. 

Kredily serves 25,000+ businesses and 1 million+ employees across India and has helped businesses save an estimated 30 lakh+ hours of repetitive HR work through payroll and HR automation. 

Kredily is a winner under the Next Generation Incubation Scheme (NGIS) Chunauti 5.0, implemented by STPI, and is backed by the MeitY Startup Hub, Government of India, through the SAMRIDH Scheme.

New Delhi [India], August 14: The kitchen sink has traditionally been one of those products homeowners selected towards the end of a kitchen renovation, usually after the cabinets, countertop, appliances and other major fixtures had been finalised. That approach is changing as people spend more time thinking about how their kitchens will actually be used. The sink is where vegetables are washed, utensils are cleaned, cookware is rinsed and ingredients are prepared every day, making it one of the busiest areas in a home. This is one reason the stainless steel kitchen sink continues to remain popular, particularly among households looking for durability, hygiene, easy maintenance, and a finish that works well with contemporary kitchen interiors.

The popularity of stainless steel is easy to understand when the demands of an Indian kitchen are considered. A kitchen sink can be exposed to water, food residue, hot cookware, detergents, oils, fruits and vegetables within a matter of hours. It is also cleaned repeatedly, unlike most other parts of the kitchen. Stainless steel has remained relevant because it is suited to this kind of everyday use and has a clean appearance that fits easily into different kitchen styles. Whether the cabinets are wooden, matte, glossy or themselves made from stainless steel, a well-designed stainless steel sink can sit naturally within the overall layout.

The changing nature of modular kitchens has also made sink design more important. Homeowners are looking beyond the basic requirement of having a bowl to wash utensils and are considering bowl size, depth, draining space and how comfortably the sink fits into the kitchen workflow. In a compact apartment, for example, the washing area may also need to accommodate vegetable preparation, dish drying and cleaning large cookware. This is why the kitchen sink for a modular kitchen is increasingly being considered along with the countertop and cabinetry instead of being treated as a separate plumbing purchase.

Morzze has built its range of Morzze Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks around this everyday use. The clean appearance of stainless steel works particularly well with contemporary kitchen designs, while the practical formats make the sinks suitable for regular household activity. For a homeowner investing in a modern modular kitchen, the sink needs to look appropriate alongside the cabinetry but also cope with the routine that happens around it. Washing a large pressure cooker after dinner or cleaning vegetables before preparing a meal may sound ordinary, but these are precisely the situations in which the size, layout and usability of a sink become noticeable.

The sink area also works better when supporting products are chosen with the same attention. A kitchen faucet is used every time the sink is used, making its design and operation an important part of the washing station. Accessories such as a sink strainer, drain pipe, strainer cover, soap dispenser, and drying rack can further help keep the area organised. Morzze offers kitchen sink accessories that can be used alongside its sinks to create a coordinated workspace. Instead of having detergent bottles, strainers and other items scattered around the countertop, homeowners can organise the washing area around products that have a specific purpose.

Maintenance is another reason stainless steel continues to find favour in residential kitchens. The surface can be cleaned as part of the normal kitchen routine, although like any material, it benefits from appropriate care. In areas where hard water is common, including parts of Delhi NCR, regular wiping can help prevent water spots and mineral deposits from becoming difficult to remove. Avoiding unnecessarily abrasive cleaning methods is also useful for preserving the appearance of the finish. These simple habits become easier when the sink itself is designed for everyday use.

For homeowners considering a stainless steel kitchen sink in Delhi or elsewhere in India, the choice ultimately comes down to how the product fits into the kitchen as a whole. A sink should provide enough room for everyday washing, complement the cabinetry and countertop, and remain practical through years of use. This is particularly relevant as stainless steel kitchens gain visibility in residential interiors. When the cabinets, appliances and other surfaces follow a clean, contemporary aesthetic, the sink should not look like an unrelated addition.

The growing attention towards stainless steel kitchen sinks is therefore less about a short-lived design trend and more about changing expectations from the modern kitchen. Homeowners want their kitchens to look considered, but they also want them to work well on an ordinary weekday when there is a pile of utensils waiting after dinner. A good kitchen sink has to accommodate that reality. With its range of stainless steel sinks, faucets and related accessories, Morzze is positioning the washing area as an important part of the kitchen rather than something simply fitted into the countertop at the end of a renovation.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 14: The BroadView will premiere Rakesh Jhunjhunwala: Forever Here, a tribute film celebrating the life, ideas and enduring legacy of one of India’s most influential investors, four years after his passing.

Presented by Nikunj Dalmia, former Editor of ET Now, the film will premiere on The BroadView’s YouTube channel.

Rather than simply revisiting his celebrated stock picks, the film turns its lens on the man behind the investor — friend, mentor, family man, entrepreneur and an unwavering believer in India.

Through intimate memories and reflections from those who knew him closely, the film reveals a personality as large as his reputation: formidable intellect, sharp humour, strong opinions and, above all, a deep investment in people — in friendships, family, entrepreneurs and mentorship — far beyond the world of markets.

The RJ Investing DNA

Conviction, contrarian instinct and the courage to take calculated risks were the cornerstones of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s investment style. At the heart of it all was his unwavering faith in India and his remarkable ability to understand the pace and direction of change.

The film explores the questions behind that instinct: How did Rakesh identify tomorrow’s great businesses before they became obvious? What gave him the conviction to go against the tide, back entrepreneurs others overlooked, and stay invested through cycles?

From recognising opportunities early to backing businesses and entrepreneurs through periods of uncertainty, his approach went beyond stock picking. It was about seeing change early, taking calculated risks and having the conviction to stay the course.

Where The Legacy Is Headed

Four years on, markets have changed, companies have evolved and India itself has moved forward. Yet Jhunjhunwala’s ideas, investment philosophy and extraordinary belief in India continue to resonate with a new generation of investors and entrepreneurs.

His legacy is not simply what he owned or what he invested in. It is a way of thinking about India, opportunity, risk, conviction and the long game.

A Tribute From Nikunj Dalmia

“Rakesh Jhunjhunwala: Forever Here reflects on an individual whose influence extended far beyond his public persona. This film does not attempt to reduce his legacy to a single stock, trade or prediction. It is an attempt to understand the man, the mindset and the extraordinary conviction in India that defined him — and the imprint he left on India’s financial and entrepreneurial story.”
— Nikunj Dalmia

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Mr. Udit Rathi, Promoter, Rathi Steel And Power Limited:

“We are pleased with our Q1 FY27 performance, underpinned by strong volume growth, an optimised product mix and continued expansion of our market reach. Total sales volumes grew approximately 30% YoY to 28,372 MT, while revenue exceeded ₹193 Cr, registering growth of over 24% YoY. The TMT rebar segment was a key growth driver, with volumes more than doubling to 18,677 MT.

Importantly, this growth was achieved against an operating environment characterised by softer steel realisations and continued volatility in energy and input costs. The ability to scale volumes in such an environment underscores the importance of our evolving product mix, wider market reach and disciplined execution. Recent moderation in certain raw-material prices provides a relatively more constructive cost backdrop, although geopolitical and energy-market volatility remain key variables.

As we progress through FY27, our focus remains firmly on scaling volumes, deepening market penetration, optimising our product mix and maintaining cost discipline. Our presence across Stainless Steel products and MS TMT rebars provides us with greater flexibility to navigate evolving market conditions while pursuing sustainable and profitable growth.”

Introducing Oud Rush – The New Premium Eau De Parfum by French Essence.

New Delhi [India], August 14: Fragrance brand French Essence has announced the launch of Oud Rush, a premium Eau De Parfum created for consumers who prefer rich, distinctive and long-lasting fragrances.

Built around agarwood, commonly known as oud, the new fragrance combines warm spices, aromatic notes and a deep woody base to create a scent that is bold yet sophisticated. With Oud Rush, French Essence is expanding its portfolio with a fragrance that places greater emphasis on character, longevity and an elevated overall experience.

The launch comes at a time when fragrance preferences in India are becoming increasingly diverse. Consumers are exploring perfumes beyond conventional fresh and aquatic profiles, with woody, musky and spicy compositions gaining greater attention.

Oud Rush has been created to appeal to this evolving audience.

A Rich Composition with Oud at Its Heart

The fragrance opens with saffron, nutmeg and lavender, bringing together warmth, spice and aromatic freshness.

Saffron gives the opening a rich character, while nutmeg adds depth. Lavender balances these warmer elements and gives the first few moments of the fragrance a smoother aromatic quality.

As the perfume develops, agarwood (oud) becomes the central note.

Known for its deep and distinctive woody character, oud gives Oud Rush its identity and provides a richer contrast to the opening notes. The fragrance then settles into a base of patchouli and musk, adding warmth and creating a lingering finish.

The overall composition has been designed to feel confident and noticeable without becoming unnecessarily complicated.

For consumers who enjoy woody, spicy and musky fragrances, the combination offers a scent that can work across different occasions while retaining a recognisable signature.

Designed for Presence and Longevity

One of the key considerations behind Oud Rush has been longevity.

French Essence has developed the perfume for consumers who expect their fragrance to maintain its character beyond the initial spray. Its deeper composition makes it particularly suitable for evenings, celebrations, weddings, festive occasions and important social events.

At the same time, people who naturally prefer richer fragrance profiles can make it part of their everyday perfume wardrobe.

Nidhi Gupta, Founder of French Essence, said the brand wanted Oud Rush to represent a more elevated fragrance experience.

“Oud has an unmistakable richness and depth. With Oud Rush, our intention was to create a fragrance that feels premium from the first spray and continues to make its presence felt as it develops. We wanted the fragrance to be confident and memorable while still being relevant to the modern Indian consumer,” Gupta said.

The fragrance takes subtle inspiration from the richness associated with Middle Eastern perfumery, while the overall composition has been developed with contemporary Indian consumers in mind.

Premium Presentation Completes the Experience

The premium positioning of Oud Rush is also reflected in its presentation.

The perfume comes in a deep amber-toned bottle complemented by a glossy black cap and gold detailing. The darker colour palette reflects the warm, woody character of the fragrance and gives the bottle an understated yet premium appearance.

Its presentation also makes Oud Rush suitable as a gifting option for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, festive occasions and other celebrations.

The launch reflects a broader change in the way Indian consumers approach perfumes. Buyers are increasingly paying attention to fragrance concentration, individual notes, longevity and how a perfume develops over time rather than choosing a fragrance solely on its opening impression.

This growing awareness has created room for brands to introduce more distinctive compositions and encourage consumers to build fragrance wardrobes for different moods and occasions.

Oud Rush Eau De Parfum enters this space with a combination of saffron, nutmeg, lavender, oud, patchouli and musk – ingredients chosen to create warmth, depth and a memorable fragrance trail.

For French Essence, the launch represents another step towards building a more diverse fragrance portfolio and offering consumers perfumes with stronger individual identities.

Rather than simply introducing another scent, the brand is positioning Oud Rush as a fragrance for people who see perfume as part of their personal style.

Rich, warm and distinctive, Oud Rush brings together premium presentation, a sophisticated fragrance profile and lasting character – creating a scent designed to be noticed and remembered.

New Delhi [India], August 14: “In today’s world, a company’s reputation can change faster than its stock price.” That statement has never been more relevant. Businesses today are operating in an environment where geopolitical tensions, trade wars, shifting regulations and global conflict can influence public perception almost overnight. While financial performance remains important, reputation has become an equally valuable asset, determining whether customers, investors, employees and partners continue to trust a brand.

Unlike earlier times, companies can no longer afford to stay silent when global events affect their business, employees, or customers. Stakeholders now expect organizations to communicate with honesty, clarity and empathy. Whether it is a supply chain disruption caused by international conflict or a policy change resulting from trade restrictions, people want to know how a company is responding. A delayed response or complete silence often creates confusion, fuels speculation, and damages credibility. 

This shift has transformed corporate communication from a support function into a strategic business priority. Public relations teams are no longer focused only on media coverage – they play a crucial role in helping organizations navigate uncertainty, manage crises, and maintain stakeholder confidence. Silence is no longer a communication strategy: proactive, transparent communication is. 

For Indian brands expanding into international markets, the challenge is even greater. Building a strong domestic reputation is only the beginning. Global audiences have different cultural expectations, regulatory environments, and social values. This makes it essential for businesses to develop a global reputation framework – one that maintains consistent brand values while adapting communication to different markets. 

The companies that will thrive in the coming years are not necessarily those with the biggest marketing budgets, but those that build trust through authentic communication and responsible actions. Reputation is earned through consistency, transparency, and accountability, especially during uncertain times. 

As geopolitical risks continue to shape the global business landscape, organizations must recognize that reputation is no longer just about image; it is a strategic business asset. In an era where public opinion can shift in minutes, trust has become a company’s most valuable currency.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 13: From unexplained career setbacks to emotional turmoil, celebrity astrologer Saurish Sharma offers a deeper perspective on the challenges people often struggle to understand, and a path towards clarity, healing, and a fresh start

Renowned celebrity astrologer Saurish Sharma, known for his consultations with personalities from the entertainment industry, recently helped an individual navigate a particularly difficult phase marked by emotional distress, relationship disappointments, career disruptions and a growing sense of hopelessness.

What made the consultation particularly significant was Sharma’s ability to look beyond the immediate problems and connect seemingly unrelated challenges through an astrological and personal lens. During the session, he identified planetary influences involving Shani and Rahu, while also recognising how unresolved experiences from the past could be contributing to recurring emotional and relationship patterns.

The challenges were not limited to personal life. Several professional opportunities, including lucrative events and projects, were reportedly falling through at the last moment. Sharma attributed these recurring disruptions to a disturbed Rahu and also identified what, within the astrological framework, is described as nazar dosh, offering specific spiritual remedies to address these concerns.

Rather than limiting the consultation to astrology, Sharma combined his reading with practical guidance. He suggested traditional remedies including visits and offerings at a Shani Dev temple, a nazar-removal ritual, and regular recitation of Sunderkand. More importantly, he encouraged the individual to confront the fear of betrayal and understand how unresolved emotional experiences can influence future relationships and choices.

The consultation ultimately became less about predicting what would happen next and more about understanding why certain patterns were repeating.

With his growing reputation among celebrities and professionals seeking guidance during challenging periods, Saurish Sharma continues to position astrology as a tool for introspection, clarity, and positive change, helping people understand the unseen patterns behind some of life’s most visible struggles.

Dev Punj, Vice President, Chimes Aviation Academy (CAA)

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], August 14: Ask a room full of parents in India what they want their child to become, and you’ll hear ‘doctor’, ‘engineer’, or ‘maybe a civil servant’. Somewhere down the list, if it comes up at all, someone will mention pilot – usually followed by a comment about how expensive it is or how it’s “an uncertain path” or “whether it is a practical career at all”. Nobody says that about medicine, even though medicine is expensive too. Nobody says it about engineering.

That gap is worth sitting with, because it isn’t really about money. It’s about how we talk about the professions themselves.

Three professions, one kind of training; treated very differently

Medicine and engineering share a public image built on years of visible rigour: entrance exams, licensing boards, residencies, apprenticeships, and continuing certification. Most of us know the shape of the journey even if we’ve never lived it. Aviation has an equivalent structure – arguably a stricter one – and few outside the industry can describe it.

Nor is aviation training simply about learning to control an aircraft. A cadet must develop a working understanding of navigation, meteorology, aircraft systems, aerodynamics, regulations, human performance and operational decision-making. The knowledge is technical, the practical training is closely supervised, and progress depends on demonstrating competence at every stage. Aviation may follow a different educational route from medicine or engineering, but it is no less serious as a field of professional study.

A commercial pilot doesn’t finish training once and fly for forty years on the strength of a single certificate. Every six months, pilots undergo simulator checks and are tested again – not as a formality, but as a condition keeping their licence valid. Medical checks are recurring, not one-time. In a modern commercial jet, over 80 parameters are logged every second, which are reviewed and can be scrutinised. Almost no other job has so many aspects of their work being constantly recorded. Very few professions build recertification this deeply into the job itself, and yet the public conversation around aviation rarely mentions it. We talk about turbulence and delays. We don’t talk about the discipline that keeps both from becoming something worse.

At Chimes Aviation Academy (CAA), this is the part of the profession we prepare cadets for and the part that gets talked about the least. Cadets don’t just learn to fly an aircraft; they learn to be tested on flying it, over and over, for the rest of their working lives. That’s closer to how a surgeon or a structural engineer is trained than most people realize. Medicine got centuries to build its public mythology. Aviation, as a mass profession, has had decades.

What the job actually looks like

Talk to a first officer the morning of a flight, and the picture that emerges has little to do with the uniform. The day starts hours before boarding, with a briefing on weather, fuel, and route that the crew has to absorb and question, not just receive. A walk-around of the aircraft follows – a physical, methodical check of the machine they’re about to fly, done in person every time, regardless of how many times it’s been done before. In the cockpit, checklists run before the engines even start, a call-and-response between two pilots designed so neither one ever relies purely on memory.

Then there’s the actual flying, most of which is calm, exact, and almost invisible to passengers who assume the aircraft is largely flying itself. It isn’t. Every phase of the flight has a decision point behind it – when to climb, when to hold, what to do if something in the cockpit doesn’t look right – made by two people trained to think under pressure and to catch each other’s mistakes before they matter. Landing safely at the end of a routine flight is itself the product of hundreds of small correct decisions nobody outside the cockpit ever sees.

For a young cadet, this is the part worth aspiring to – not the layovers or the uniform, but the fact that by the time they’re a few years into the job, their judgement is trusted with hundreds of lives at a time and trusted enough that they’ll be tested on that judgement again and again for the rest of their career. Few professions hand a twenty-five-year-old that much responsibility this early, with this much structure built around making sure they’re ready for it.

A profession is judged by its worst day, not its best one

Part of why medicine and engineering command instant respect is that failure in those fields is visible, personal, and immediate – we understand exactly what’s at stake when something goes wrong. Aviation carries the same weight, but the industry has spent so much energy engineering failure out of the system that the public rarely sees what that effort looks like from the inside. Redundancy, checklists, standard operating procedures, and a culture that rewards reporting mistakes instead of hiding them – this is aviation’s version of medical protocol. Yet a profession that has quietly built some of the safest systems in industrial history gets less public credit for rigour than professions with far more visible failure rates.

That’s a communication problem as much as anything else. Doctors and engineers have decades of television, literature, and family folklore built around the training itself. Pilots have plenty of folklore too – it just tends to stop at the uniform and the travel, without going any further into what the job actually demands of a person’s judgement under pressure.

What changes the story

The fix isn’t a marketing campaign. It’s making the training itself visible, the way medical colleges and engineering institutes have made theirs visible for generations. Academies that publish what a cadet actually goes through – the hours, the failure rates in checkrides, the recurring exams that never really end – do more for the profession’s standing than any slogan could.

At Chimes, we’ve leaned into that visibility on purpose: standardized fleets, in-house maintenance, structured cadet pathways and training systems designed around consistency.

The principle is not very different from the one that governs a respected teaching hospital: training quality must be demonstrated through standards, systems and outcomes, not merely claimed. When an academy’s graduates are hired on the strength of their knowledge, discipline, and professional readiness that airlines expect, confidence begins to build not only in the institution but also in the profession itself. Aviation has that signal available. It just hasn’t been telling that story out loud.

The bigger opportunity

There’s a reason this matters beyond professional pride. A country that talks about aviation with the same seriousness it brings to medicine and engineering builds a deeper, steadier pipeline into it. People choose professions partly based on how those professions are spoken about at home, and aviation deserves to be spoken about for what it demands, not just what it offers. That’s the same shift medicine and engineering went through decades ago, and it’s overdue in aviation.

India is in an unusually good position to lead that shift. The country already has the scale, the training capacity, and – as its aviation talent increasingly finds its way into cockpits abroad – the growing proof that the training holds up against any standard in the world. What’s missing isn’t capability. It’s the public conversation catching up to what the profession has already become.

The day aviation gets spoken of in the same breath as medicine and engineering won’t be the day it becomes as rigorous. It already is. It’ll be the day enough people finally recognise it.

From certified provenance to a tech-driven natural diamond solitaire jewellery programme, AnkitGems’ new venture brings natural diamond solitaires to a new generation of consumers

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 14: Born from a legacy of excellence in diamonds as an Ankit Gems alliance, Eyora Jewels led by Mr. Ankit Shah, Mr. Ankit Singh Kimtee and Mr. Samyak Kataria, is a retail venture built to reinforce consumer interest in natural diamonds. Eyora Jewels Private Limited brings together a powerful blend of diamond expertise, sourcing provenance, and business discipline introducing a technology-driven, natural diamond solitaire jewellery programme, designed to empower retail jewellers to showcase lightweight, natural diamond jewellery under a unified brand of trust, craftsmanship, and elegance. All Eyora jewellery is IGI certified, with every solitaire carrying an exclusive Eyora inscription on the diamond’s girdle, while the natural diamonds are conflict-free and responsibly sourced, delivering complete peace of mind for the retailer and the consumer.

Highlighting the origin of the brand’s innovative retail strategy Mr. Ankit Singh Kimtee, Founder and CEO, Eyora Jewels stated: “As we listened to jewellers across the market, one message came through consistently. They weren’t questioning the value of natural diamonds. They were questioning the risk of investing in them. They need greater confidence, better inventory flexibility, and a partner who could help them grow their business. That became the challenge we set out to solve.”

Eyora has developed its natural diamond solitaire jewellery programme to work with existing jewellery retailers, allowing them to introduce a natural diamond category using curated collections, standardised merchandising, website & mobile app support, unified brand experience with 100% buyback & exchange and access to solitaire inventory of more than 25,000+ natural diamonds. This model lets retailers add the category without significant infrastructure investment, while enhancing profitability and operational efficiency.

The offering is focused on natural diamond solitaire jewellery, with contemporary designs in 14K & 18K gold and natural diamond solitaires of up to one carat. The collection brings together classic solitaire aesthetics, minimal contemporary designs and distinctive fancy-shaped diamonds, including elongated shapes and differentiated cuts. Eyora’s jewellery is positioned from Rs50,000 to Rs 2.5 lakh, creating multiple entry points into natural diamond solitaire jewellery while retaining the qualities associated with the category.

As Mr. Samyak Kataria, who manages the digital frontend, stated: “Alongside the physical inventory, Eyora offers a digital bank of 5,000+ jewellery designs, accessible through Eyora website & mobile app. This allows retailers to showcase a much wider selection beyond their physical display, giving them greater flexibility to present designs & options based on individual customer preferences.”

The company’s strategic growth plan and vision include initial plans to establish a presence in Mumbai, Delhi, Indore, Bengaluru and Hyderabad with retail partners, followed by expanding to more than 25 stores across 10 major cities, a target of 100 locations nationwide, and ultimately

building a pan-India footprint supported by an integrated digital commerce platform. This expansion will be backed by Ankit Gems’ established diamond expertise and its heritage as a De Beers Sightholder, which also informs the brand’s approach to responsible sourcing.

Emphasizing the brand’s vision and its commitment to retail partners, Mr. Ankit Shah, Director Ankit Gems and Founder, Eyora Jewels added: “We believe the future of natural diamonds won’t be defined only by what leaves the earth. It will be defined by the confidence that reaches the consumer. And that’s the journey we are proud to begin with Eyora Jewels.”

Connecting the journey of every diamond from source to showcase, Eyora Jewels aims to rebuild desire for natural diamonds, creating jewellery valued not only for its beauty, but for the story, authenticity, and legacy it represents.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], August 14: The Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT), Bengaluru Campus, marked another significant milestone in its ongoing campus development with the laying of the foundation stone for a new Gymnasium and the inauguration of the Career Development Centre (CDC) Office, Vehicle Parking Facility and BMTC Bus Stop by Prof. Harish Hirani, Director, RGIPT, today.

These initiatives further strengthen RGIPT Bengaluru’s commitment to developing a modern, vibrant and student-centric campus, with focused attention on health and wellness, career development, industry engagement, campus mobility and public transport connectivity.

The foundation stone laying for the new Gymnasium marks the commencement of an important addition to the campus’s fitness and wellness infrastructure. The proposed facility is envisaged to provide students and members of the RGIPT community with modern facilities for physical fitness, recreation and wellness, while encouraging a healthy, active and balanced lifestyle.

The Career Development Centre (CDC) Office was formally inaugurated as a dedicated and professionally equipped institutional facility to strengthen placements, internships, career counselling, industry interaction and overall professional development of students. The CDC comprises a dedicated office for the Chairperson, two Training and Placement Officer (TPO) offices, a conference room equipped with virtual meeting facilities, and five dedicated rooms to facilitate interviews and interaction between students and independent interview panels. The facility is further supported by a digital display panel for showcasing placement activities, career events, industry interactions and other important CDC initiatives. The new infrastructure is expected to facilitate more effective engagement with industry and organisations, provide a professional environment for recruitment and interaction processes, expand career opportunities for students, and support their smooth transition from academic learning to successful professional careers.

The Vehicle Parking Facility was also inaugurated as part of the Institute’s efforts to provide dedicated and well-organised parking space within the campus. The facility will help accommodate the vehicles of students, faculty members, staff and visitors, while ensuring better management of vehicular movement and parking on the campus. The new facility is expected to contribute to a more orderly, convenient and accessible campus environment.

The inauguration of the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) Bus Stop at the RGIPT Bengaluru Campus (Energy Institute) marks an important milestone in making the campus better connected, more accessible and more convenient for the entire RGIPT community. As part of this initiative, BMTC has introduced a dedicated STRR/EX-STRR service on the Hosakote–Devanahalli route, with 18 buses operating at intervals of approximately 30–45 minutes and a designated stop at the RGIPT Bengaluru Campus. The service connects the campus to key destinations along the Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR) corridor, including Nelamangala, Doddaballapura, Devanahalli and Hosakote, and provides convenient access to important locations such as Nelamangala Bus Station, Doddaballapura Bus Stand, Devanahalli Old/New Bus Station, STRR Devanahalli Toll, Balepura Gate, MVJ Medical Hospital, Hosakote KEB Circle and Hosakote Bus Stand. For added convenience, students and other commuters can use the NAMMA BMTC mobile application to search for “STRR”, select “Energy Institute” as the stop, and access available bus information, including live location and expected arrival times where available. The new connectivity is expected to make daily commuting more convenient, reliable and affordable, while strengthening RGIPT Bengaluru’s integration with the wider Bengaluru public transport network and supporting its emergence as a well-connected and student-friendly campus.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Harish Hirani, Director, RGIPT, emphasised that the development of RGIPT Bengaluru is being guided by a clear objective of creating an ecosystem that enables students to excel academically, remain physically and mentally well, and prepare confidently for professional careers. He stated that the foundation stone laying for the Gymnasium and the inauguration of the CDC Office, Vehicle Parking Facility and BMTC Bus Stop are meaningful additions to this ecosystem, strengthening four essential aspects of campus life—well-being, career development, mobility and connectivity. He added that the Institute is committed to continuously improving the quality and functionality of campus facilities so that students can benefit from an environment that is conducive to learning, innovation, interaction and overall development.

The event was attended by senior Institute officials, faculty members, staff and students. The initiatives form part of RGIPT Bengaluru’s broader development plan to build a vibrant, professionally oriented and industry-connected campus, supported by strong academic, research and student-support infrastructure. With its expanding capabilities in education, research, innovation and industry engagement, RGIPT Bengaluru is steadily positioning itself as an important centre for the emerging needs of the energy, technology and management sectors, with a vision to nurture talented professionals and contribute meaningfully to India’s evolving energy and technology landscape.

Russia has been a top choice for Indian students considering MBBS from abroad.

New Delhi [India], August 14: For thousands of Indian students aspiring to become doctors, securing an affordable and quality MBBS seat in India remains highly competitive. As students and parents explore their options after NEET 2026, MBBS in Russia continues to attract attention as an established pathway for students considering medical education abroad.

Russia has a long-standing medical education system, a large network of universities and teaching hospitals, and a significant international student population. The growing interest among Indian students is also reflected in official student mobility data. According to data from the Ministry of External Affairs, the number of Indian students in Russia increased from 19,784 in 2022 to 23,503 in 2023 and further to 31,444 in 2024.

For students considering MBBS admission in Russia 2026, factors such as the cost of education, university infrastructure, clinical training, international exposure and the availability of English-medium medical programmes are among the considerations influencing their decision.

Affordable Medical Education

The cost of medical education is an important consideration for Indian families.

Compared with many private medical colleges in India, MBBS in Russia for Indian students can offer a comparatively affordable route. However, costs vary between universities, including tuition, hostel, food, insurance, travel and other expenses.

Universities such as Orenburg State Medical University, Perm State Medical University and Mari State University attract Indian students seeking government-university options. Families should compare the complete six-year cost, not just tuition fees, including accommodation, food, insurance, visa, travel and other university charges.

MBBS After NEET 2026: Why Students Are Exploring Options Abroad

NEET continues to be the gateway to undergraduate medical education in India, highlighting the intense competition for medical seats.

With more than 22 lakh candidates appearing for NEET UG 2026, students unable to secure a suitable MBBS seat in India within their preferred budget increasingly explore MBBS abroad.

Russia is one of the destinations considered by Indian students because of its established medical universities and comparatively accessible cost structure.

However, the decision should not be based simply on seat availability. Students should examine the university, curriculum, clinical training, regulatory requirements, and long-term licensing pathway before choosing to study medicine abroad.

Russian Medical Universities and NMC Guidelines

For an Indian student planning to study medicine abroad, one of the most important considerations is compliance with applicable NMC Guidelines.

The National Medical Commission’s Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations, 2021, specify requirements relating to the duration, medium of instruction, curriculum, clinical training and other aspects of foreign medical education.

The NMC framework requires students to verify whether the specific foreign medical programme they intend to join meets the requirements applicable to their batch.

Universities such as Orenburg State Medical University, Perm State Medical University and Mari State University are considered by Indian students, but programme and regulatory requirements should be independently verified before admission.

A university’s presence in WDOMS alone does not guarantee eligibility to practise medicine in India. WDOMS information and NMC requirements should be checked separately.

Clinical Exposure and International Campus Life

Medical education is ultimately about preparing students for real-world practice, making clinical exposure and international experience important factors when selecting a university. Universities such as Perm State Medical University and Orenburg State Medical University provide opportunities to progress from academic learning towards clinical education within their regional healthcare ecosystems.

At the same time, Russia’s universities attract students from different countries, creating multicultural campuses. For Indian students, studying alongside international classmates can provide exposure to different cultures, languages and healthcare perspectives while developing independence and adaptability. Students should evaluate clinical training, affiliated hospitals and the overall learning environment at the university level.

Medical Education Across Different Russian Regions

One distinctive feature of studying MBBS in Russia is the opportunity to experience diverse geographical and cultural environments.

From Orenburg and Perm to Yoshkar-Ola, Elista and Pskov, Russian medical universities offer exposure to different regional healthcare systems and cultures. Kalmyk State University in Elista and Pskov State University in Pskov allows international students to experience unique regional histories, lifestyles and cultures.

This geographical diversity is an important aspect of studying MBBS in Russia, with the right choice depending on preferences regarding climate, city size, living environment and academic facilities.

A Growing Indian Student Community

The growing Indian student population has made Russia a more familiar destination for Indian families. With more than 31,000 Indian students recorded in Russia in 2024, established Indian communities across universities help new students adjust to life abroad while staying connected through festivals and cultural activities.

Universities such as Orenburg State Medical University, Perm State Medical University and Mari State University are familiar choices among Indian students exploring medical education in Russia.

For parents, an established Indian student community can provide greater familiarity and comfort when considering MBBS admission in Russia.

FMGE, NExT and Long-Term Planning

Students considering MBBS in Russia should understand the licensing pathway from the beginning.

For Indian graduates, eligibility to practise medicine in India is governed by applicable NMC regulations, which can evolve. Students should therefore follow the latest NMC regulations and notifications.

Universities such as Orenburg State Medical University and Perm State Medical University may provide academic support, but this does not guarantee success in licensing examinations. Students should understand the requirements applicable to their graduating batch.

Why Russia Remains an Important Option for Indian Medical Aspirants

The growing interest in Russia reflects a broader trend in medical education abroad. For many Indian aspirants, comparatively affordable education, established universities, international exposure and clinical training make Russia an option worth considering.

However, studying medicine abroad requires careful planning. Factors such as the right university, regulatory compliance, clinical exposure, total cost and long-term licensing pathway are more important than simply choosing the lowest-cost programme.

The goal should not simply be to find a medical seat abroad, but to choose a university where the academic environment, clinical training and regulatory requirements support the long-term goal of becoming a practising doctor.

Helping Indian Students Navigate Medical Education Abroad

As more Indian students explore MBBS abroad, professional guidance can help with university selection, eligibility, documentation, admission, fees, travel and pre-departure preparation.

Rus Education, an organisation specialising in overseas medical education, has been helping Indian students explore opportunities at Russian universities for more than two decades.

Through its association with Russian universities including Orenburg State Medical University, Perm State Medical University, Mari State University, Kalmyk State University and Pskov State University, Rus Education works with students seeking information about medical education opportunities in different parts of Russia.

The objective is to help students and parents understand their options and make informed decisions rather than selecting a university solely based on advertisements or fee comparisons.

For students planning MBBS admission in Russia 2026, or exploring MBBS abroad after NEET 2026, Rus Education provides admission guidance and assistance throughout the application process.

Students and parents can visit www.ruseducation.in or contact the Rus Education student helpline at 1800-833-3338 for further information.

Students and parents are advised to independently verify the latest NMC regulations, university-specific eligibility requirements, and applicable licensing requirements for their admission year before making an admission decision.

New Delhi [India], August 14: Most Indian households already run on chai time – the sequence is instinctive, even if unspoken. A brisk cup on waking, something lighter through the afternoon, a spiced brew when the weather turns, and perhaps something calming before bed. Butterfly Ayurveda’s tea line takes that unconscious rhythm and gives it a name: the tridosha clock, the Ayurvedic framework that maps Vata, Pitta and Kapha to specific hours of the day. The brand’s four flagship blends, Suprabhat Chai, Shubh Saanjh Chai, Ratri Chai and Masala Chai, are each built to meet a different point on that clock, rather than functioning as interchangeable variations on the same green-tea theme.

Morning: correcting for Kapha

Suprabhat Chai – available in both a green tea and black tea base – is positioned as the brand’s answer to the sluggishness that Ayurveda attributes to Kapha dosha, which the tradition holds rises between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. and can show up as heaviness, drowsiness or a lingering morning cold. The blend combines Tulsi, Mulethi (licorice root), Brahmi, black pepper and green tea leaves sourced from Darjeeling – a formulation the brand describes as cognition-enhancing rather than simply stimulating, with Brahmi included specifically for its traditional association with memory and mental clarity, and Mulethi for throat and liver support. It is, in effect, an attempt to replace the reflexive “wake-up tea” with something formulated for a specific physiological window, down to a recommended drinking time of 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Afternoon: settling Vata

By contrast, Shubh Saanjh Chai is built for the other end of the workday, when Vata dosha is said to peak, typically between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., a period Ayurveda associates with bloating, flatulence and general digestive unease. Here the formulation shifts toward digestion-first ingredients – mint, ajwain (carom seed), fennel and Shankhpushpi, layered over a Darjeeling green tea base. The inclusion of Shankhpushpi is notable: in classical Ayurvedic use it is valued as much for calming the mind as for supporting digestion, which positions this blend less as an afternoon pick-me-up and more as a reset for the mid-afternoon slump that most desk-bound professionals recognize but rarely name.

Night: a tridosha-balancing wind-down

Ratri Chai departs from the single-dosha logic of its siblings. Rather than targeting one dosha at one time of day, it is formulated as a tridosha-balancing blend meant for the evening – built around Ashwagandha, Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, Tulsi, Giloy (Guduchi) and lemongrass, with black pepper added to aid absorption. Each ingredient carries a specific traditional claim: Ashwagandha for stress and sleep support, Brahmi again for cognitive and nervine support, lemongrass for its detoxifying and antioxidant profile. The brand recommends it between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m., pitching it less as a bedtime tisane and more as a structured wind-down ritual – the tea equivalent of closing out the day’s accumulated stress before it compounds overnight.

All-weather: Masala Chai as tridosha comfort

Masala Chai is the outlier in the lineup, and deliberately so. Where the other three blends are time-bound, Masala Chai is framed as a tridosha-balancing brew suited to either early morning or late evening, built on an Assam black tea base spiced with ginger, cinnamon, clove, black pepper, cardamom and Banafsha (a herb traditionally used for cough and throat relief). It reads, in formulation terms, as Ayurveda’s answer to the ubiquitous Indian household chai – warming, spiced, and designed for cold-and-cough season – but built with a tridosha lens rather than as a generic spiced tea.

What holds the range together

Across all four blends, the manufacturing story stays consistent: each tea is stated to be produced in GMP-certified facilities and licensed under the state AYUSH department, packaged either in airtight foil-lined cartons for loose tea or in biodegradable, corn-and-wheat-starch tea bags – a detail aimed squarely at the sustainability-conscious segment of the wellness buyer base. None of the four blends leans on a single hero ingredient; each is a multi-herb formulation where the individual actives (Brahmi’s nervine effects, Shankhpushpi’s anxiolytic profile, ginger’s carminative properties) are documented separately on the brand’s own product pages, suggesting a formulation process built around traditional pharmacology rather than flavor-first blending.

The larger bet

What makes this range more than a tea catalogue is the sequencing itself. Most herbal tea brands sell single-benefit products – a “detox tea,” a “sleep tea” – as isolated SKUs. Butterfly Ayurveda is selling a schedule: four teas that, taken together, map onto an entire day’s dosha fluctuations rather than one moment of it. Whether that framework converts casual buyers into a four-tea daily ritual, or simply gives existing loyal customers a reason to trade up from one blend to the full set, will likely determine how far the model scales beyond its current niche – but the formulation logic itself is more structurally differentiated than most entrants in India’s crowded herbal tea aisle.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 14: Unihealth Hospitals Limited (NSE EMERGE: UNIHEALTH | INE0PRF01011), In another significant step towards advancing specialised surgical care in Navi Mumbai, UMC Hospitals, Nerul, Navi Mumbai, has successfully treated a 33-year-old man from Turbhe who developed a large and potentially serious complication following an episode of acute pancreatitis. 

The patient had initially suffered from severe upper abdominal pain, vomiting and fever and was diagnosed with pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas. He also had Type 1 diabetes and high cholesterol, which were being managed with medication. His initial illness required approximately two weeks of hospitalisation at another hospital in Mumbai. 

However, even after the acute episode had settled, his symptoms did not completely go away. Nearly 12 weeks later, he continued to experience early satiety — a condition in which a person feels full after eating only a small quantity of food. Further evaluation at UMC Hospitals revealed the underlying cause. 

A CT scan showed a large walled-off pancreatic necrosis, a collection that can form around damaged or dead pancreatic tissue several weeks after severe pancreatitis. As the collection had become large enough to cause persistent symptoms, definitive treatment was required. 

A Complex Problem Treated Through a Minimally Invasive Approach 

The procedure was performed by Dr. Harsh Sheth, Consultant – Bariatric & GI Laparoscopic Surgeon, UMC Hospitals. Rather than undertaking a conventional large open operation, the surgical team used a laparoscopic, minimally invasive approach. Through small surgical access points, the team created a controlled passage between the stomach and the wall of the pancreatic collection. This allowed the contents of the collection to drain naturally into the stomach, providing internal drainage while avoiding the need for a larger open surgical procedure. 

The approximately two-hour procedure was completed successfully, and the patient was closely monitored following surgery. At his two-week follow-up, he was reported to be doing well and recovering satisfactorily.

The successful treatment marks another important step in the development of UMC Hospitals, Navi Mumbai’s advanced Gastrointestinal, Laparoscopic and Pancreatic Surgery capabilities. It also adds to the hospital’s growing range of advanced clinical interventions, including technology-enabled orthopaedic and cardiac procedures. 

In recent months, UMC Hospitals, Navi Mumbai has continued to expand its capabilities in advanced and minimally invasive care, with milestones including its first robotic knee replacement, its first IVUS-guided coronary intervention and Navi Mumbai’s first bilateral robotic Direct Anterior Approach total hip replacement. These developments reflect UMC Hospitals’ broader endeavour to bring advanced medical technology, specialised clinical expertise and comprehensive tertiary care closer to patients in Navi Mumbai and surrounding regions.

The case highlights the growing ability of UMC Hospitals, Navi Mumbai to manage complex gastrointestinal and pancreatic conditions using advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques, while continuing to strengthen its position as a tertiary care destination for patients across Navi Mumbai and neighbouring regions. 

UMC Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, is a multi-specialty tertiary care hospital offering comprehensive medical and surgical services across a wide range of specialties. The hospital combines experienced clinical teams, modern diagnostic and medical infrastructure, advanced minimally invasive techniques and a patient-first approach to care. 

As part of Unihealth Hospitals Limited, UMC Hospitals is focused on building a growing network of advanced healthcare facilities that bring specialised, technology-enabled and accessible healthcare closer to the communities they serve. 

With the continuing expansion of its clinical capabilities across specialties, UMC Hospitals, Navi Mumbai is working towards its vision of becoming a comprehensive tertiary care destination for Navi Mumbai and surrounding regions.

Speaking about the case, Dr. Harsh Sheth, Consultant – Bariatric & GI Laparoscopic Surgeon, UMC Hospitals, said: “Walled-off pancreatic necrosis is a delayed complication of severe pancreatitis and can become particularly challenging when the collection grows large and starts affecting the patient’s ability to eat or causes other persistent symptoms. In carefully selected patients, minimally invasive internal drainage can provide effective treatment while avoiding the greater surgical trauma associated with conventional open surgery.”

Dr. Akshay Parmar, Founder & Managing Director, Unihealth Hospitals Limited, said: “Every clinical milestone at UMC Hospitals is ultimately about a patient and a family. What may appear to be a complex surgical achievement from a clinical perspective is, for a patient, an opportunity to return to a more normal life closer to home. Our endeavour at UMC Hospitals, Navi Mumbai is to progressively build the clinical depth, technology and multidisciplinary expertise required to manage increasingly complex cases within the city itself. We are proud of our clinical teams who are helping make that vision a reality.”

Me2 Cake India Brings 750 Varieties of Fresh, Pure-Veg Cakes to Raipur — With Buy 1 Get 1, Every Single Day

New Delhi [India], August 14: In a market where premium usually means expensive, a homegrown bakery brand from Raipur is proving that quality and affordability don’t have to be at odds. Me2 Cake India started with a straightforward promise: fresh, 100% pure vegetarian cakes at prices ordinary families can afford. Backed by a decade of hands-on bakery experience, the brand has grown quickly into one of Chhattisgarh’s most talked-about dessert names, built on trust, taste, and consistency rather than short-lived hype.

That consistency shows in the sheer range on offer. Me2 Cake bakes across 750 varieties, giving customers far more choice than the average neighbourhood bakery, while keeping every cake fresh rather than mass-produced and frozen. It’s a scale of variety that’s unusual for a regional brand still in its early years, and it reflects the ten years of bakery expertise the founding team brings to every outlet.

BUY 1 GET 1 — EVERY DAY, NOT JUST FESTIVALS

At the heart of Me2 Cake’s appeal is its now-famous Buy 1 Get 1 Cake offer, running every single day rather than being limited to festive seasons or weekend promotions. For a category that has traditionally leaned on premium, occasion-based pricing, this is a bold departure. The idea is simple: celebrations happen far more often than people acknowledge, whether it’s a small win at work, a friend dropping by unannounced, or an ordinary Tuesday that deserves something sweet. By pricing accordingly without cutting corners on ingredients, Me2 Cake has made everyday indulgence achievable rather than aspirational.

FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITIES NOW OPEN ACROSS CHHATTISGARH

Riding on the early success of its Raipur outlets, Me2 Cake India is now inviting entrepreneurs and bakery enthusiasts to become part of its growth story. The company is offering franchise opportunities in Raipur and across all major towns and cities of Chhattisgarh, giving local business owners a chance to associate with a brand already known for trust, taste, and affordability.

With a clear vision to become a household name across the state, Me2 Cake is positioning itself as more than a cake shop — it’s building a movement to make celebrations more frequent, more affordable, and more local for the people of Chhattisgarh. Rather than expanding through a handful of company-owned stores, the brand is betting on local partners who understand their own towns and cities, a route that tends to help regional brands put down roots faster than a purely top-down model would allow.

Franchise partners joining now would be getting in at a formative stage, backed by a decade of category experience, a 750-variety product range, and a Buy 1 Get 1 offer that has already proven itself with customers in Raipur. As the brand continues its rollout, the goal is simple: bring the same freshness, pricing discipline, and customer trust that built its home city following to every corner of Chhattisgarh.

This kind of brand also reflects a broader shift underway in Chhattisgarh and similar markets, where buyers are increasingly willing to spend on fresh, branded bakery options instead of settling for generic local sweets or unbranded alternatives. Me2 Cake appears to have read that shift early, and its Raipur-first strategy gives it a head start most outside chains simply don’t have when they eventually decide the region is worth entering.

For franchise inquiries and more information about Me2 Cake outlets, interested individuals can contact Me2 Cake India directly or visit www.me2cake.com.

NACDC 2026 opened formally on August 10 with the inaugural ceremony attended by Prof. Banani Chakrabarti, Patron of NACDC 2026 and Chancellor of the University of Engineering & Management (UEM), Kolkata; Prof. Dr. Satyajit Chakrabarti, President of SMART Society, USA and Vice Chancellor of UEM, Kolkata; Prof. Bob Gill, Eminent Professor at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT); Prof. Dr. Moutushi Singh, Convener of NACDC 2026 and Professor & Head of the Department of CSE & IT, IEM Kolkata; Prof. Dr. Baisakhi Das, Co-Convener and Professor, IEM Kolkata; and Prof. Dr. Leo S. F. Lin of Charles Sturt University, Australia, who joined as Guest of Honour.

In her inaugural address, Prof. Banani Chakrabarti reflected on the responsibility accompanying rapid progress in computational intelligence and data science, urging that technical advancement remain anchored in curiosity, imagination and ethical grounding. Prof. Dr. Satyajit Chakrabarti, in his welcome address, described the conference as an evolving space for cross-border collaboration.

“Progress without values is merely motion. My hope for NACDC 2026 is that we advance not only in what we can compute, but in the wisdom and humanity with which we choose to do so.”

— Prof. Banani Chakrabarti, Patron, NACDC 2026, and Chancellor, UEM Kolkata

Eminent industry and academic leaders from across the globe headlined the keynote sessions. Workshops held alongside the conference included “Running Local AI Models on Android & iOS” and “Acting Humanly: Transforming the World where AI & ML meet Robotics”, among others, with sessions conducted by eminent groups such as the Google Developer Group.

NACDC 2026 attracted strong international participation, with papers submitted by researchers from over 35 countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Egypt, and South Africa, among others. Following a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, papers were accepted at an acceptance rate of approximately 26%, reflecting the conference’s emphasis on quality.

In all, more than 12,000 participants took part, joining on-site and online to present research and exchange ideas throughout the globe.

The technical presentations were organised across four dedicated tracks, each led by a designated session chair: Computational Intelligence & Artificial Intelligence; Data Science & Big Data Analytics; Cloud Computing & Infrastructure; and Advanced & Emerging Technologies.

The conference drew on the deep research foundation of its host group. In October 2025, the University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata, unveiled SATYAMEBA — Supercomputing Architecture for Transformative Yield in AI and Multi-GPU Engine-Based Acceleration — an indigenous high-performance computing system inaugurated by the Hon’ble Chancellor, Prof. Banani Chakrabarti.

It supports advanced AI-driven research across domains such as medical imaging, quantum technology, and cloud-native systems, giving the students and scholars of the group a powerful platform for innovation of exactly the kind showcased at NACDC 2026.

The conference proceedings from NACDC 2026 will be published by Nova Science Publishers.

“In an era defined by algorithms, our most valuable resource remains the human imagination. NACDC 2026 brings the world’s imagination together — and that is where real innovation is born.”

— Prof. Dr. Satyajit Chakrabarti, President, SMART Society, USA, and Vice Chancellor, UEM Kolkata

The event drew to a close on August 12 with the valedictory session, announcement of the Best Paper Awards and a formal vote of thanks.

Across its three days, NACDC 2026 offered an active international platform for the exchange of ideas, sparking new collaborations across institutions, disciplines and borders, and encouraging the next generation of researchers in computational intelligence, data science and cloud computing.

Satara (Maharashtra) [India], August 13: Success in competitive examinations is built through months of preparation, perseverance and an unwavering commitment to a goal. Celebrating this spirit of determination, Sir Einstein Academy hosted Utkarsh Parva 2026, a special felicitation ceremony dedicated to students who achieved commendable results in IIT-JEE, NEET and MHT-CET and went on to secure admissions to prestigious institutions including NIT, COEP, SPIT, ICT and IICT.

The ceremony brought together successful students, proud parents, educators and distinguished guests to recognise the academic accomplishments of the young achievers. The event reflected the journey of students who transformed their aspirations into tangible results through focused preparation and consistent effort.

For students appearing for competitive examinations such as IIT-JEE, NEET and MHT-CET, the path to success involves much more than academic knowledge. Regular practice, conceptual understanding, time management, discipline and the ability to remain motivated throughout the preparation period are equally important. The achievements celebrated at Utkarsh Parva 2026 highlighted the importance of this comprehensive approach.

The students felicitated during the programme demonstrated their capabilities by performing well in competitive entrance examinations and earning opportunities to study at some of the country’s recognised educational institutions. Their admissions to NIT, COEP, SPIT, ICT and IICT marked an important transition from school-level education to specialised higher education.

Speaking during the event, Prof. Shrirang Pandit, Executive Director of Sir Einstein Academy, congratulated the students and appreciated the contribution of their parents and teachers. He noted that every student’s achievement represents a combination of individual determination, family support and continuous academic guidance.

He encouraged the achievers to carry the same dedication into their higher education and professional careers. According to him, gaining admission to a reputed institution is an important milestone, but the larger objective is to continue developing knowledge, skills and character while working towards meaningful future goals.

Parents Witness a Proud Moment

The felicitation ceremony also became an emotional occasion for parents. After witnessing their children prepare for demanding examinations and overcome academic challenges, seeing them receive recognition for their performance brought a strong sense of pride and happiness.

Several parents expressed their appreciation for the role played by Sir Einstein Academy in supporting their children during their preparation. They highlighted the value of systematic academic guidance, regular practice and an environment that encourages students to remain focused on their objectives.

Parents also spoke about the importance of teachers in helping students identify their strengths and address areas where improvement was required. For many families, the admission of their children to reputed institutions represented the result of years of planning, sacrifice and encouragement.

The achievements therefore carried significance beyond examination scores. They represented the confidence gained by students, the trust placed in them by their families and the collective efforts of educators who supported them through the preparation process.

Distinguished Guests Felicitate the Achievers

The programme was attended by Mr. Rajesh Sapre, Mr. Mahesh Tilekar and Mr. Bhagwan Tate as distinguished teachers, along with Mr. Shekhar Jadhav as a guest. The dignitaries felicitated the successful students and congratulated them on their achievements.

They encouraged the students to remain humble about their accomplishments while continuing to work towards higher goals. The guests also emphasised that students entering reputed institutions would encounter new academic challenges and opportunities and should approach the next phase of their education with curiosity, discipline and confidence.

The programme was anchored by Prof. Jayant Gambhir, Director of Sir Einstein Academy. Through his engaging presentation, he highlighted the academic journey of the achievers and connected their examination success with the opportunities available to them in higher education.

A New Beginning for the Achievers

Utkarsh Parva 2026 ultimately became a celebration not only of examination results but also of the journey behind those results. The achievements in IIT-JEE, NEET and MHT-CET and subsequent admissions to NIT, COEP, SPIT, ICT and IICT provided students with an opportunity to begin the next chapter of their academic lives with confidence.

For Sir Einstein Academy, the ceremony represented another significant moment in its efforts to support students preparing for competitive examinations. For parents, it was an occasion to celebrate years of hard work. And for the students, it was an opportunity to pause, recognise their achievement and look ahead to new ambitions.

As the felicitation concluded, the message was clear: academic success is not simply about reaching a particular rank, score or institution. It is about developing the discipline and determination required to continue moving forward.

With a growing presence across Maharashtra, Sir Einstein Academy continues to make quality competitive exam preparation accessible to students through its branches located in Vashi (Navi Mumbai), Panchgani,Satara and Mangaon.

With new educational opportunities ahead, the achievers of Utkarsh Parva 2026 now begin a new journey. Their success serves as an encouraging example for future aspirants and reinforces the idea that focused preparation, consistent effort, proper guidance and belief in one’s abilities can turn ambitious educational goals into reality.

Key Takeaways

• $BULLSKI opens at $0.00001 on stage 1, steps to $0.000015, and carries a listing reference of $0.0025.
• Around 42.6 million tokens remained on the opening rung on August 11, 2026, with about 96 percent sold.
• Supply is capped at 120 billion tokens, and the contract is an ERC-20 on Ethereum.
• SPX6900, Brett, Mog Coin, and Turbo all trade between 85 and 98 percent below their record highs.

A new meme coin presale is running on Ethereum, and it opens lower than most buyers expect. $BULLSKI sells at $0.00001 on stage 1 of a 16-stage ladder, against a published listing reference of $0.0025. Around 42.6 million tokens were left on that opening rung on August 11, 2026; roughly 96 percent of it sold.

Recent launches like SPX6900 and Brett never offered a fixed entry rung. Read the new $BULLSKI presale terms before the number moves.

Best Crypto Presales to Buy Now: Why the Entry Rung Matters 

Buying at a listing means buying whatever the first hour decides. Nobody publishes that price in advance, and early sellers often set it. A sale works differently.

Every buyer on the same rung pays the same fixed amount, and the next amount is printed before anyone reaches it. Order books also punish latecomers, because the visible price only exists once trading has started.

Sixteen rungs make the whole path visible here. Stage 2 costs $0.000015 and stage 3 costs $0.00002, so the step size is known from day one. Anyone comparing presale crypto opportunities can put those numbers side by side without guessing.

That transparency is the main reason a published ladder beats a surprise debut.

Two numbers do most of the work in any early round. First is the rung you pay today. Second is the listing reference the team publishes for its exchange debut.

Set $0.00001 against $0.0025 and the comparison becomes plain arithmetic. Nothing in that sum depends on a forecast or a promise.

Pro tip: Compare a token’s entry rung with its published listing reference before you buy. For $BULLSKI that is $0.00001 against $0.0025.

Meme Launches Already Trading, Priced August 11, 2026 

SPX6900 costs $0.3197 today, up 1.6 percent, with a $297.5 million market cap. July 28, 2025 brought its record of $2.27, so the price now sits about 86 percent below that mark. Brett changes hands at $0.004067, down 3.7 percent on the day, on a $40.3 million cap.

Its $0.2342 high from December 1, 2024 leaves buyers who arrived at the top around 98 percent underwater. Numbers like that show how quickly a hot debut can turn.

Mog Coin trades at $0.000000101 with a $39.3 million cap, down 1.1 percent, against a $0.00000402 peak from December 6, 2024. Turbo sits at $0.00083 on a $57.3 million cap, down 2.1 percent, versus $0.01432 on December 11, 2024. Meme tokens together were worth $25.52 billion that day, up 0.92 percent, on $1.56 billion of volume, according to CoinGecko.

None of those four gave buyers a fixed entry rung. Each one listed, then found its own price in public. That is the difference a ladder removes, and it is why crypto presales draw people who want the number in writing first.

Timing explains most of those drawdowns as well. Buyers who arrived during hour one paid whatever the fastest hands in the room decided.

By the Numbers: Meme tokens are worth $25.52 billion in total. Turbo’s $57.3 million is about 0.2 percent of that number.

Inside the Sixteen $BULLSKI Rungs 

Open the sixteen $BULLSKI rungs and the structure explains itself. Total supply is fixed at 120 billion tokens, with 40 percent of that allocated to the sale. $BULLSKI is an ERC-20 token, which simply means it uses the standard Ethereum token format that ordinary wallets already read.

Payment goes through ETH, BNB or USDT, so no unusual setup is needed.

Protections come next. Liquidity locks at launch, team tokens vest on a schedule instead of unlocking at once, and the contract is verified on Etherscan with an audit in process. Staking runs while the sale is open, and a referral scheme pays buyers who bring others in.

Each of those terms can be checked in a few minutes, which is exactly why they are published. For a fuller account of the opening, see our report on the meme coin presale going live.

Remember: Every rung on this ladder is published in advance, so nothing about the next price arrives as a surprise.

How to Join at the Opening Price 

Setting up takes minutes. Fund a wallet with ETH, BNB or USDT, open the official site, read the live stage counter shown there, then join the sale at the opening price. Dates matter with any counter.

On August 11, 2026, roughly 42.6 million tokens were left on the opening rung, with close to 62 million taken in the previous 24 hours.

Position sizing deserves a minute of thought. A sale token has no exchange price until listing, so treat it as the small early slice of a wider holding. Readers weighing the traded side can also check our current pick of meme coins to buy before deciding.

Staking can be switched on the same day you buy, and referral rewards keep running while the sale stays open.

Questions About the Live Sale 

What is a meme coin?
A meme coin is a token built around a joke, a mascot, or a community rather than a business model. Dogecoin, launched in 2013, is the oldest example still trading. Attention and community size drive most of the value.

What are meme coins backed by?
Community, attention, and trading activity, not revenue or assets. The best meme coins keep an active community long after launch, which is what separates them from a quiet listing. Locked liquidity and vested team tokens also help a young project keep its footing.

How many stages does the $BULLSKI sale have?
Sixteen in total. Pricing opens at $0.00001, moves to $0.000015, then $0.00002, and the published listing reference is $0.0025. Each rung has its own allocation, and the next one opens once the current allocation clears.

Prices never step backwards on this ladder.

Is this the best crypto presale to join today?
Only your own research answers that. Compare supply, entry price, payment options and lock terms, then decide. $BULLSKI publishes all four, and the live counter on the official site shows exactly where the sale stands.

Confirming the contract on Etherscan takes about a minute and is worth doing before any transfer.

The race for the best crypto presale in August 2026 is heating up as AlphaPepe ($ALPE) enters one of the most important weeks of its presale. The project has now raised $2.3 million, attracted more than 10,900 holders, and moved deeper into Stage 20 at $0.02602 after Stage 19 sold out fast.

But the biggest catalyst is still ahead.

AlphaPepe’s next major launch update reveal arrives on August 19, giving buyers a clear date to watch while presale demand continues building. Add three CEX partnerships already secured, growing Tier-1 listing speculation and a new Bonus Drop offering up to 200% extra ALPE, and retail is starting to treat the remaining presale window very differently.

AlphaPepe Hits $2.3M as 10,900+ Holders Move In

AlphaPepe has now crossed two major milestones at once: $2.3 million raised and more than 10,900 holders.

That momentum comes after Stage 19 sold out quickly, pushing the presale into Stage 20 at $0.02602. Every completed stage removes another earlier entry point, which is why buyers are paying closer attention as the project moves toward launch preparations.

The attraction is simple. AlphaPepe remains before public-market price discovery, yet its holder base is already approaching 11,000 wallets.

For retail searching for the best crypto presale in August 2026, that creates the kind of setup traders usually try to find before a token becomes widely available on exchanges.

August 19 Is Becoming the Date Everyone Is Watching

The next major AlphaPepe catalyst lands on August 19, when the project is expected to reveal its latest launch update.

That date is now carrying much more weight than it did a few weeks ago. AlphaPepe is entering the reveal with stronger funding, a larger holder base, Stage 20 already live, and three CEX partnerships secured.

For presale buyers, the countdown matters because launch updates can change how the market views the remaining allocation. Traders entering before August 19 are positioning while the next major piece of information is still unrevealed.

That is exactly the kind of uncertainty retail often chases when the upside narrative is still being built rather than fully priced in.

Tier-1 Listing Rumours Are Getting Louder

AlphaPepe has already secured three CEX partnerships, giving $ALPE an exchange strategy before public trading begins.

Now speculation is moving toward the next level.

Online discussion around a possible Tier-1 CEX listing continues to grow as traders look at what could follow the three confirmed exchange partnerships. No Tier-1 listing has been formally announced, but the fact that AlphaPepe has already secured multiple CEX relationships makes the speculation more compelling than a typical presale rumor.

That means the August 19 reveal is being watched not only for launch timing, but also for any further clues around exchange expansion.

For Stage 20 buyers, a major exchange development would immediately strengthen the argument that $0.02602 remains an early entry rather than a late presale price.

Bonus Drop Turns Stage 20 Into a Limited-Time Trade

AlphaPepe has also added a new urgency mechanism through its Bonus Drop.

Buyers can click to reveal a guaranteed bonus of +10%, +30%, +50%, +100% or +200% extra ALPE. Every draw wins, and once activated, the multiplier remains live for 48 hours.

The bonus then applies to every qualifying purchase made during that 48-hour window, which means a strong multiplier can be used across multiple buys rather than just once.

There is also a loyalty advantage built in. Buyers who have purchased more ALPE previously have improved odds of unlocking the larger multipliers.

That creates a simple retail loop: reveal the bonus, lock in the multiplier, then use the 48-hour window before it expires.

With Stage 20 already active and August 19 approaching, the timing is hard to ignore.

Why AlphaPepe Is Leading the August Presale Conversation

The strongest presales usually combine three things: growing participation, a near-term catalyst, and a reason buyers feel they need to move before everyone else.

AlphaPepe currently has all three.

It has raised $2.3 million, built a community of over 10,900 holders, sold out Stage 19 quickly, and moved into Stage 20 at $0.02602. Three CEX partnerships are already secured, Tier-1 listing rumors are circulating, AlphaSwap gives the project a working utility angle, and the August 19 launch reveal is now only days away.

Then there is the Bonus Drop, which can add up to 200% extra ALPE during a limited 48-hour window.

That combination is why AlphaPepe is pushing to the front of the best crypto presale conversation in August 2026.

The presale is no longer waiting for momentum to arrive.

It already has it.

Manish Khandelwal, Managing Director, Haworth India

New Delhi [India], August 13:India has a manufacturing target to chase. The National Manufacturing Mission, announced as part of the Union Budget, aims to raise manufacturing’s contribution to GDP from around 16–17% today to 25% by 2035, with a focus on technology, workforce readiness, quality and ease and cost of doing business.

That ambition matters. Manufacturing creates jobs, strengthens supply chains and gives India a larger role in global production. But there is another question worth asking: what if India’s next big competitive advantage comes from what happens before anything gets made?

Ideas. Design. Research. Problem-solving. Creativity.

Manufacturing excellence will remain essential, but sustainable economic leadership will increasingly depend on India’s ability to turn human capability into intellectual and commercial value. The next generation of products, technologies and businesses will need people who can ask better questions, work through complexity, challenge assumptions and create ideas that did not exist before.

The future of “Made in India” may therefore need another phrase alongside it: “About Where Ideas Thrive”.

And if ideas are going to become a bigger part of India’s economic story, there is a surprisingly physical question to consider: where does that thinking happen?

Consider how much of a working day is spent sitting, standing, concentrating, thinking and collaborating. The physical conditions around those activities can make work easier or harder. Acoustics can determine whether someone can concentrate. Lighting can influence comfort and fatigue. The ability to move between focused work and collaboration can change how a team approaches a problem. Even physical comfort can influence how easily someone sustains attention through a demanding task.

These details can seem small when viewed individually. At scale, they become part of the conditions in which an organisation performs.

India’s economic ambitions are also changing the nature of work happening here. The country is no longer simply a destination for execution. Its Global Capability Centres are increasingly involved in product engineering, research, analytics, cybersecurity, AI and other high-value activities. NASSCOM research has described India’s GCC ecosystem as having evolved from a cost-arbitrage model towards a strategic innovation engine.

That makes the conditions in which people work a business consideration. If a team is expected to solve a complex problem, develop a new product or collaborate across geographies, the workplace should make those activities easier, not harder. A space that allows people to concentrate without distraction, come together when collaboration is needed and move between different modes of work can remove friction from the working day. The gains may not always be dramatic or immediately measurable, but across thousands of employees and millions of working hours, they can influence how effectively an organisation operates.

There is another dimension to this. People do not all think, concentrate, process information or respond to their surroundings in the same way. Consideration for neurodiversity brings this into particularly sharp focus. Factors such as acoustics, lighting, temperature and sensory comfort can influence the workplace experience for neurodivergent employees.

But designing for neurodiversity cannot be reduced to providing a particular product or creating a designated space. It requires looking at the experience of the environment as a whole. Some people need silence to concentrate. Others think better when they can talk through an idea. A team working through a difficult problem may need to be together, while someone working on detailed analysis may need to step away from that interaction.

This is, however, not simply an inclusion argument. It is an argument about getting better work from a diverse workforce. If India’s future competitiveness depends on ideas, then creating environments that support different ways of thinking is also an investment in innovation.

The expectations around the office are changing for another reason. Employees increasingly want workplaces that give them a reason to be there. Flexible spaces are becoming an increasingly important part of India’s office ecosystem, reflecting a stronger demand for choice in how and where work happens.

If routine individual work can happen elsewhere, the office has to offer something worth coming together for: a productive team discussion, an opportunity to learn from colleagues, focused work without the distractions of home, or the informal exchange of ideas that happens when people share a physical environment.

The answer is to make offices more useful.

This is where autonomy becomes important. People should have some control over where they focus, when they collaborate and how they use the workplace for different tasks. The idea is to create environments that allow people to match the way they work with the work that needs to be done. Good management and good design need to work together; neither can compensate entirely for the absence of the other.

Sustainability belongs in this conversation too. A workplace designed for long-term value should not be built around constant replacement. Durability, responsible sourcing, local manufacturing, repairability, resilient supply chains and circular thinking can extend the useful life of products and spaces while protecting the investment organisations make in them. Sustainability, in this sense, is not simply an environmental consideration. Sustainability is part of building more resilient businesses.

And then there is AI. As technology automates more routine tasks, distinctly human capabilities such as creativity, judgement, curiosity and problem-solving are likely to become even more valuable. That will change the kinds of value the country can create.

This creates an opportunity that goes beyond becoming a global production base. India is already on a path to become a place where workspace is not only made but conceived; where technology is not only deployed, but developed; and where diverse human capabilities are given the conditions to turn ideas into outcomes.

India’s next chapter will depend on both what it makes and what it imagines. And if we want more ideas to be imagined here, we need to pay greater attention to the environments in which people think, create, collaborate and do their best work.

The future of “Made in India” may therefore need another phrase alongside it: “About Where Ideas Thrive.”

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], August 13: Analytics Insight has released its India FinTech Funding Report for H1 2026, providing an analysis of funding activity, investor behavior, and capital flows across India’s fintech ecosystem during the first half of the year.

According to the report, the country’s fintech segment raised $2.2 billion in aggregate funding during H1 2026, indicating that this is one of its best-performing six-month periods in terms of fintech investments since H1 2023.

Contrary to a resurgence in the high number of investments recorded during previous years, this trend indicates a more strategic approach by investors in their funding for the segment, as they are beginning to concentrate their money on businesses that have already developed a sustainable business model.

Key Findings from India FinTech Funding Report H1 2026

The report highlights several major trends shaping India’s fintech funding landscape:

• $2.2 Billion in Funding: Indian fintech companies raised $2.2 billion in H1 2026, the highest half-year funding level since H1 2023.
• Late-Stage Fintechs Dominate: More than 70% of total funding went to late-stage fintech companies, including CRED, Weaver Services, Juspay, Ecofy Finance and Namdev Finvest.
• Lending Leads Sector Funding: Lending emerged as the largest-funded fintech segment, followed by Payments. Together, the two sectors accounted for more than three-quarters of total funding during the period.
• Wealthtech Gains Investor Interest: WealthTech also emerged as an important area of investor interest during H1 2026.
• Bengaluru Leads Geographically: Bengaluru retained its position as India’s leading fintech funding hub, attracting almost 70% of total funding, followed by Mumbai.
• Capital Concentrated in Mature Companies: Unicorns accounted for more than half of the capital invested in India’s fintech ecosystem during the first half of 2026.
• Institutional Investors Remain Active: Institutional investors were the most active investor group, while domestic investors continued to participate across different financing stages.
• Foreign Capital Targets Mature Fintechs: International investors showed stronger activity in mature fintech companies, particularly at the growth stage.
• Strategic Capital Gains Prominence: Corporate and strategic investors increased their participation, reflecting a broader shift towards investments linked to strategic business objectives and long-term industry opportunities.

The report also looks at structural shifts in India’s fintech investment ecosystem, including investment concentration, investment themes, strategic investments, and exits via IPOs and acquisitions.

The fintech investment ecosystem in India has therefore gone past being a pure growth funding ecosystem. Observations in the first half of 2026 show that investors are increasingly looking at the fundamentals of the business, maturity, and sustainable growth of fintech companies.

“India’s fintech sector continues to demonstrate resilience while entering a more mature phase of capital deployment. The $2.2 billion raised in H1 2026 is significant not only because it marks the strongest half-year performance since H1 2023, but also because the funding reflects greater investor selectivity,” said Ashish Sukhadeve, CEO, Analytics Insight.

He further added, “Our H1 2026 report provides a data-driven view of where capital is moving, which fintech segments are attracting investor attention, and how the investor landscape is changing. The growing concentration of funding in mature companies, the strength of lending and payments, Bengaluru’s continued dominance and the increasing role of strategic investors offer important signals for founders, investors and other stakeholders planning for the next phase of India’s fintech growth.”

The India FinTech Funding Report for H1 2026 is intended as a reference for fintech founders, investors, venture capital and private equity firms, financial institutions, corporates, policymakers, technology companies, analysts and other ecosystem participants.

By examining funding flows alongside investor trends, financing stages, sector performance, geographic concentration, capital market activity, and strategic deal-making, the report offers a consolidated view of the forces shaping India’s fintech investment landscape in 2026.

New Delhi [India], August 13: Bahadurgarh, which was earlier sort of seen as an industrial fringe town on the edge of Delhi, is now kind of sitting at the threshold of a big city transformation. Lately, the infrastructure upgrades give a pretty clear signal that this place is being set up as a major satellite hub in the Delhi NCR belt. For developers and other stakeholders who have a stake in this stretch, these large-scale projects are more like a paradigm shift in how the area will be viewed, how people will live there, and how it will be used in the coming time.

The Infrastructure Backbone

Some of the most transformative developments that are coming up right now are the rail and metro expansions meant to seriously reduce commuting distances. A good example is the proposed Delhi-Bahadurgarh-Rohtak High-Speed Rail Corridor. Its second phase construction is slated to begin sometime between 2029 and 2030, and the trains are expected to move at around 160 kilometers per hour, so the ride time from Delhi to Rohtak can shrink to roughly 45 to 50 minutes. The route itself is planned to have 7 new stations, and Bahadurgarh is going to be a real critical nodal point in this whole network.

Then there’s another important layer to this mobility ecosystem: the Delhi Metro Green Line extension running up to Asauda. Recent project updates suggest the physical work plus technical surveys are already completed, and the Detailed Project Report (DPR) is on track for finalization. This 6-kilometer stretch will tie together Bahadurgarh’s residential belts with the wider Delhi Metro grid, and it also includes six newly planned stations. But there’s more than just rail here; the plan also calls for a 6-lane elevated road built above the metro route, and yep, it’s specifically meant to decongest the cramped Bahadurgarh-Asauda corridor. Adding to this multimodal push, the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway is also set to connect with UER 2 (Urban Extension Road 2) in this region, which further strengthens the area’s road network and gives more seamless long-distance highway access alongside the metro corridor. Construction is expected to start somewhere between 2027 and 2029, while operations are targeted for 2030. Overall, this extension should further lock in the city’s reputation as a super accessible urban node, rather quickly.

The Evolving Real Estate Landscape

Infrastructure of this magnitude naturally pushes the real estate sector forward. And with this whole connectivity boom already on the horizon, RPS Group has quietly, but strategically, expanded its presence in Bahadurgarh through the launch of RPS Azalea. This is not just one more residential plot you can skip. It feels more like a carefully mapped township, meant to become the real nucleus for the city’s upcoming residential growth, kind of the place where things start compounding.

Located in Sector 29, RPS Azalea stretches across 19.79 acres, and it’s backed by a strong ₹110 crore investment. It’s being developed under the government’s  Deen Dayal Jan Awas Yojana scheme, so the intent is clear, to serve the aspirations of the upwardly mobile middle class. You get residential plots in the 125 to 180 square yards range, so families can choose and shape their dream home without too much rigidity. The expected delivery target is around 2027, and honestly that lines up nicely with the broader infrastructural leap happening in the region, as if the timing was already pre-decided.

Connecting the Dots: Multi-Modal Commute and Quality of Life

The real strength of this ecosystem is the way it all connects. The high-speed rail corridor and the expanded Metro Green Line are built to work together smoothly with the existing Delhi-Rohtak road network, the local bus terminals, and the expressways. In the end, you get a kind of dependable multimodal transport junction, where daily travelers can pick among a few commuting methods without too much hassle.

If you’re a professional based in central Delhi, the idea of a quick around 45-minute ride by high-speed rail, or a calmer route through the Metro, changes what “home” means. It makes Bahadurgarh feel less like a far-off suburb and more like a genuinely convenient base. That combination of fast public transit, plus thoughtfully planned new communities such as RPS Azalea, tackles the two main worries most buyers have: time spent commuting and the day-to-day livability. With Delhi’s growing density and rising expenses, this setup feels like a sensible lower-pressure option, while still keeping professional access firmly intact.

A Commitment to Sustainable Growth

From a developer’s perspective, the direction is pretty clear. The way fast-speed rail ties in with a smooth metro extension, along with the road network widening, and then the premium yet affordable residential townships… that mix feels like the blueprint for a smart and sustainable city. The RPS Group stays steady about this region, not changing its stance just because time moves on. The aim is to provide homes that feel great right away, and at the same time safeguard long-term value as the city keeps evolving.

Bahadurgarh has moved beyond the stage of being an “emerging” location. It’s actively shifting into a developed, high-demand destination across NCR. Infrastructure work is on a fast track, and private developers are introducing world-class amenities into the picture. So in the coming years, the city is ready to take on that responsibility of being a top-tier residential choice for thousands of Delhi-NCR residents.

Powered by Sigma AI, the Chennai-based WealthTech platform brings stock discovery, historical backtesting, portfolio management and broker-connected execution into one integrated ecosystem.

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], August 13: Green Sigma, a Chennai-based WealthTech company focused on systematic investing solutions, has announced the formal launch of Sigma Scanner, its flagship rule-based investment technology platform for retail investors.

Built around the philosophy “Be Your Own Fund Manager,” Sigma Scanner is designed to help individual investors create, evaluate and manage their own investment strategies using data, historical validation and clearly defined rules.

The platform enables users to discover stocks using quantitative criteria, build customized stock-scoring models, backtest investment strategies using historical market data, construct portfolios, manage periodic rebalancing and execute investment decisions through supported broker integrations.

Through Sigma Scanner, Green Sigma aims to make the tools and processes traditionally associated with professional portfolio management more accessible to retail investors.

Institutional investors and professional fund managers have long relied on quantitative research, systematic frameworks, portfolio analysis and disciplined execution. Green Sigma believes individual investors should also have access to technology that helps them follow a structured investment process without depending entirely on stock tips, market predictions or short-term opinions.

Moving from Stock Tips to Rule-Based Investing

Retail investors today have access to an increasing amount of financial information through digital brokerages, social media, financial platforms, television channels and online communities.

However, Green Sigma believes access to more information does not always lead to better investment decisions.

Many investors continue to make decisions based on market noise, temporary narratives, emotions or unverified recommendations. Sigma Scanner has been developed to help investors convert their investment ideas into measurable and repeatable rules.

Instead of simply asking which stock to buy, users can create a defined process by determining:

• What criteria a stock must meet before entering a portfolio
• How companies should be ranked against one another
• How many stocks should be included in a portfolio
• When a portfolio should be reviewed or rebalanced
• What conditions should determine the exit of a stock
• How the strategy would have behaved across historical market cycles

By defining these rules in advance, investors can reduce the influence of emotional decision-making and follow a more consistent investment approach.

Discover. Backtest. Execute.

Unlike conventional stock screeners that primarily filter stocks and generate lists, Sigma Scanner is designed to support a broader investment workflow.

The platform allows users to begin with an investment idea and convert it into quantitative rules. These rules can then be applied across a selected stock universe to identify and rank companies based on the investor’s chosen criteria.

Users can create customized scoring models using momentum, trend-following and other quantitative parameters. The resulting strategy can be evaluated using historical market data before real capital is deployed.

Sigma Scanner’s backtesting capabilities allow investors to examine factors such as historical returns, drawdowns, portfolio turnover, stock-selection behaviour and performance across different market environments.

After evaluating the strategy, users can construct a portfolio, monitor stock rankings, review rebalancing requirements and execute approved investment decisions through supported broker integrations.

Green Sigma summarizes this integrated workflow through three words: Discover. Backtest. Execute.

The platform enables users to:

• Screen stocks using customizable quantitative criteria
• Rank companies through personalized scoring models
• Create rule-based momentum and trend-following strategies
• Backtest strategies using historical market data
• Analyse portfolio returns and drawdowns
• Construct and periodically rebalance portfolios
• Review investment decisions through a defined process
• Execute orders through connected broker integrations
• Reduce emotional bias by following predefined investment rules

Powered by Sigma AI

Sigma Scanner is supported by Sigma AI, Green Sigma’s AI-powered platform and investment-learning assistant.

Integrated within the platform, Sigma AI is designed to help investors understand product features, interpret financial and quantitative metrics, learn systematic investing concepts and navigate the strategy-building process more effectively.

Users can ask Sigma AI questions relating to momentum investing, stock rankings, portfolio construction, drawdowns, risk-adjusted metrics, rebalancing and historical backtesting.

The assistant can also explain how various platform parameters work and help users understand the reasoning behind different portfolio-analysis metrics.

Rather than selecting stocks or making personalized investment decisions on behalf of users, Sigma AI is intended to simplify complex concepts and provide educational support. The investor continues to define the strategy and make the final investment decision independently.

Green Sigma believes conversational AI can reduce the learning barrier associated with quantitative investing and make advanced analytical tools more accessible to users across different experience levels.

Leadership Perspective

“Our mission is to help every investor think, analyse and invest through a structured process,” said Tamil Selvan S., Founder and CEO of Green Sigma.

“Retail investors today do not suffer from a shortage of information. The greater challenge is converting information into a disciplined and repeatable investment framework. Sigma Scanner gives investors the infrastructure to define their own rules, test their ideas historically and manage their portfolios with greater clarity.”

“Sigma AI further simplifies the experience by helping users understand investment concepts and platform metrics. Our objective is not to make decisions for investors, but to equip them with the tools and knowledge needed to take greater ownership of their investment process,” he added.

Building an Integrated WealthTech Ecosystem

Green Sigma’s long-term vision extends beyond developing a standalone stock-screening application.

The company is building an integrated WealthTech ecosystem that brings together stock discovery, quantitative scoring, strategy validation, portfolio construction, periodic rebalancing, broker-connected execution and investor education.

Since its initial rollout, more than 12,000 users have experienced Green Sigma’s ecosystem through its products, webinars, investor communities and educational initiatives, according to the company.

Green Sigma believes this growing participation reflects increasing interest among Indian retail investors in systematic, data-driven and technology-enabled approaches to investing.

The company plans to continue enhancing Sigma Scanner with deeper analytics, improved portfolio-management capabilities, expanded broker integrations, additional strategy-building tools and more advanced AI-powered assistance.

Its broader philosophy, “Your Portfolio. Your Strategy. Your Rules,” reflects the company’s focus on enabling investors to develop an investment process suited to their individual objectives, preferences and risk tolerance.

Green Sigma is a Chennai-based WealthTech company focused on building intelligent and accessible investment technology for retail investors.

Ratul Puri, Chairman, Hindustan Power

New Delhi [India], August 13: India’s renewable energy story is entering a new phase. Competitive tariff auctions, declining costs and strong investments have helped renewable energy become mainstream. As renewable capacity continues to grow, greater attention is now being given to how this power can be stored, transmitted and delivered when it is needed.

According to Ratul Puri, Chairman of Hindustan Power, India’s energy landscape is undergoing a structural shift from prioritising the lowest cost renewable generation to building a power system that delivers dependable, dispatchable and affordable clean energy. As renewable energy penetration increases, the power sector can no longer remain focused only on adding generation capacity. The emphasis is increasingly on how effectively that capacity can serve the wider power system and meet rising electricity demand. This is particularly relevant as India progresses towards its 2030 non-fossil fuel capacity goals. Renewable energy procurement is therefore gradually moving beyond a lowest tariff approach to one that considers the value of dependable power, balancing capability and long-term system economics.

This also changes how the cost of renewable power needs to be assessed. Evaluating projects solely on tariff competitiveness is no longer sufficient as renewable integration grows. Transmission constraints, intermittency, balancing requirements, storage needs and curtailment risks all have a bearing on the actual cost of delivering power. This makes a lowest systemic cost approach increasingly relevant.

Ratul Puri, Chairman, Hindustan Power

Ratul Puri says that Storage-backed renewable and hybrid projects may carry a higher upfront cost but can reduce pressure on the wider power system, improve the utilisation of renewable energy and strengthen the availability of power when it is needed. Procurement strategies are consequently beginning to place greater value on capacity, operational responsiveness and dependable power delivery alongside competitive pricing. Hybrid projects that combine solar, wind and battery storage are particularly important in this context as they can help meet peak demand while providing reliable and dispatchable clean power. Flexibility services also need greater recognition. These services were traditionally managed through conventional generation and system operations without being explicitly valued. In a power system with increasing renewable penetration, ramping reserves, frequency response and fast response balancing services are becoming essential to manage variability and maintain system performance. Energy storage will be central to this transition. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and pumped hydro storage can provide the capacity needed to integrate more renewable power by reducing variability, minimising curtailment and improving clean energy utilisation. However, expanding storage deployment will require supportive policy frameworks, faster regulatory approvals, streamlined land and water clearances and continued expansion of storage-linked renewable projects.

Grid readiness remains another serious issue. Several Indian states have significant solar and wind potential, but inadequate transmission infrastructure can delay project connectivity and power evacuation. States therefore need to play a more proactive role in planning and commissioning intrastate transmission networks that are aligned with renewable project timelines and national transmission planning.

Transmission upgrades alone will not be enough. Distribution infrastructure will also need to be strengthened through modern transmission lines, substations and transformers. This will improve renewable energy evacuation, reduce congestion and losses and support the integration of distributed solar power.

Ratul Puri added that a more responsive power system will also require stronger ancillary service markets. Expanding mechanisms for ramping reserves, frequency response and fast response balancing services will help manage renewable variability and enable higher levels of renewable energy penetration.

India’s experience is part of a broader global shift. Countries are increasingly recognising that expanding renewable capacity must go hand in hand with investments in storage, balancing markets and demand side flexibility. Experiences from regions such as the European Union show that higher renewable penetration requires these investments to maintain dependable power supply.

For India, the long term objective is to strike the right balance between renewable energy expansion, system responsiveness and dependable power delivery. The next phase of India’s energy transition will depend on how well we can store clean power and deliver it where and when it is needed. A combination of clean energy generation, energy storage, modern grid infrastructure and efficient market mechanisms will be central to that transition.

New Delhi [India], August 13: In an era dominated by larger-than-life commercial entertainers, filmmaker Prasenjit Chakraborty is taking a dramatically different route with his independent feature Chindi Pakad. The much-awaited trailer of the film was unveiled in a grand event at PVR Juhu, Mumbai, in the presence of veteran actors Rakesh Bedi and Makarand Deshpande, who joined the team as the chief guests.

The trailer offers an unfiltered glimpse into a world that most urban Indians pass by every day but rarely acknowledge—the lives of ragpickers struggling to survive on the fringes of society.

Set against sprawling dumping grounds and grim urban landscapes, Chindi Pakad presents a haunting portrait of people who earn their living by sifting through garbage. With striking visuals and minimal cinematic glamour, the film explores the brutal realities of poverty, addiction, exploitation and the relentless fight for dignity.

Rather than sensationalising hardship, the film appears to allow its characters to speak through silence, emotion and everyday survival. The trailer suggests that beyond heaps of discarded waste lie broken dreams, fractured families and a generation trapped in a cycle of deprivation. Yet, amid the despair, the story also hints at resilience, hope and the undying human spirit.

Speaking about the film, writer-director Prasenjit Chakraborty said, “Chindi Pakad is not just a film about ragpickers; it is a film about people we see every day but choose not to see. I wanted to tell their story with honesty and dignity, without making their suffering a spectacle. These characters have dreams, relationships, pain and hope just like everyone else. Through this film, I hope audiences will look beyond the garbage and see the human beings behind it.”

The film stars Chittrali Das, Rajkumar Dwivedi, Manoj Karotia and Debranjan Nag, who bring an understated and realistic quality to their performances. Their portrayal, combined with the film’s raw locations and documentary-like visual language, gives Chindi Pakad an intensely authentic feel.

The grand trailer launch at PVR Juhu saw Rakesh Bedi and Makarand Deshpande lend their support to the film and its unique subject. Their presence added further significance to an event centred around an independent film that attempts to bring an overlooked social reality into mainstream conversation.

The film has also attracted international attention. Chindi Pakad had its world premiere at the 78th Cannes Film Festival’s Marche du Film, where veteran actors Boman Irani and Makarand Deshpande unveiled its official poster. The film has subsequently continued its journey on the international independent film circuit, receiving recognition including accolades at the Bangkok Movie Awards and selections at multiple global film festivals.

Music is another important element of Chindi Pakad, with Red Ribbon Music associated with the film’s musical journey. Speaking about the project, a representative of Red Ribbon Music said, “The world of Chindi Pakad is raw, emotional and deeply human. The music needed to complement that reality without overpowering it. We are proud to be associated with a film that uses cinema to give a voice to people whose stories are rarely heard.”

More than just another independent film, Chindi Pakad positions itself as a social commentary on lives that remain invisible despite existing in the heart of India’s rapidly expanding cities. The trailer promises an emotionally unsettling yet deeply humane cinematic experience—one that challenges audiences to confront uncomfortable truths that have long remained hidden in plain sight.

With its powerful subject, realistic performances and international festival journey, Chindi Pakad is now gearing up to take its story from the festival circuit to a wider audience. The film is presented for theatrical distribution by Theatre King by lav Singh, marking another important step in bringing this hard-hitting independent film to audiences across India.

New Delhi [India], August 13: The investment will strengthen CGreen’s technology and on-ground capabilities, helping lenders make better-informed recovery decisions across underserved markets.

An investment to modernize Bharat’s recovery system

Indifly has announced a strategic investment in CGreen, an AI-led loan resolution and borrower intelligence company focused on improving recovery outcomes across Bharat.

The investment will support the expansion of CGreen’s technology platform, strengthen its on-ground resolution network, and accelerate its presence across Tier 3 and below markets.

Together, the two companies aim to build a more intelligent and structured loan resolution ecosystem, where better borrower understanding leads to better recovery decisions.

The challenge with the current system

India’s lending ecosystem has grown rapidly, but collections infrastructure has struggled to keep pace.

Many lenders still rely on manual tracking, telecalling and fragmented reporting systems that provide limited visibility into borrower interactions. While digital channels such as SMS, WhatsApp, email and IVR help establish contact, they often fall short once borrowers become unreachable.

Without understanding why a borrower has defaulted, lenders are often forced to make recovery decisions with incomplete information. This challenge is particularly pronounced for banks, NBFCs, MFIs and fintech lenders operating across Tier 3 and below markets, where dependable on-ground collections infrastructure remains limited.

From Information to Intelligence

CGreen combines AI, Voice AI, borrower interaction recording, field intelligence, structured workflows and its Pragati Kendra network to give lenders greater visibility into overdue cases.

A key part of this approach is distinguishing between intent issues, where a borrower is unwilling to pay, and ability issues, where genuine financial circumstances prevent repayment.

This helps lenders determine a more appropriate resolution strategy while improving visibility into borrower interactions. The model is already operating at scale. CGreen is empaneled with 29+ lending institutions, managing more than 3 lakh borrowers with an AUM of over ₹1,350 crore. It has a pan-India remote network, with an on-ground presence in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Assam.

Why Indifly invested

For Indifly, the investment aligns with its long-term vision of building technology-led businesses that strengthen Bharat’s digital economy.

As a venture builder focused on financial services, fintech infrastructure and digital inclusion, Indifly partners with founders solving large structural challenges through technology and execution. CGreen’s approach to loan resolution addresses one such gap by combining borrower intelligence with on-ground capabilities to improve how lenders recover overdue loans.

The partnership will enable CGreen to scale its platform, strengthen its AI capabilities, and expand its resolution infrastructure across underserved lending markets.

Leadership Perspectives

Vipr Raj Bhardwaj, CEO, CGreen, said, “Loan recovery should begin with understanding the borrower, not just the default. Our focus has always been to equip lenders with better intelligence so they can make informed resolution decisions. This partnership allows us to strengthen our technology, expand our reach and continue building loan resolution infrastructure designed for Bharat.”

Abhinath Shinde, Co-founder & Director, Indifly, said, “CGreen is addressing an important gap in India’s lending ecosystem by bringing together technology, borrower intelligence and on-ground execution. We believe this approach has the potential to improve recovery outcomes while creating a more structured and scalable resolution model for lenders across Bharat.”

Building for Bharat

With the investment, CGreen will strengthen its AI and borrower intelligence capabilities, expand its Pragati Kendra network and deepen partnerships with banks, NBFCs, MFIs and fintech lenders.

The company aims to scale its loan resolution infrastructure across underserved markets and help lenders make better-informed recovery decisions.

About CGreen

CGreen is an AI-led loan resolution and borrower intelligence company built for Bharat. The company helps lenders improve collections through AI, Voice AI, borrower interaction recording, field intelligence and its on-ground Pragati Kendra network, enabling more informed, transparent and effective loan resolution strategies.

About Indifly

Indifly Ventures is a venture builder focused on shaping Bharat’s digital economy across financial services, commerce and digital access. Rather than operating as a passive investor, the company partners with founders through its inCORE operating ecosystem, providing strategic, operational and functional expertise to build scalable businesses.

Its ecosystem spans multiple fintech ventures and strategic investments, united by a shared vision of advancing entrepreneurship and digital inclusion across Bharat.

New Delhi [India], August 12: Actress & entrepreneur Shivani Sharma has begun a new chapter beyond the worlds of entertainment and business with the launch of the shivanisharma foundation, an initiative she describes as a step towards creating meaningful change at the grassroots level. The foundation has been conceived with the belief that lasting change does not always begin with a grand intervention; it can start with one decision, one opportunity and one person choosing to act. Its work will cover areas including child and women’s empowerment, education, healthcare, sports for development, rural transformation, disaster management, urban renewal, arts, culture and heritage, as well as environment and animal welfare.

The official launch was marked not merely as a ceremonial beginning, but through an initiative that put the foundation’s philosophy into action. On 9 August, Fifty young students were presented with laptops to support their education, while sports clothing was distributed to encourage participation and development beyond academics. The launch brought together the foundation’s leadership, team members, volunteers, students and invited guests, including Hon. Shivani Sharma, Indian Actress, Entrepreneur, Founder – Shivani Sharma Foundation, Glam Carpet Pvt. Ltd., Boonne Fashion; Hon. Sachin Ahir, Deputy Chairman – Maharashtra Legislative Council; Hon. Sanjay Dina Patil, Member of Parliament; Hon. Suhail Khandwani, Managing Trustee of Mahim Dargah and HajiAli Dargah; Hon. Yogi Priyavrat Animesh, Founder – OOJ Foundation; Ratna Bhushan, Entrepreneur and Social Worker; Aishwarya Sangeeta Sachin Ahir, Founder – Maitree Foundation; Hon. Amit Tiwari, Youth Leader, Entrepreneur, Social Worker; Hon. Sunil Ahir, Former Corporator, BMC; and Hon. Manisha Tupe, Trustee, Shri Siddhinayak Ganpati Temple Trust, with the event serving as the first public expression of an organisation that Sharma intends to develop into a sustained social initiative. The shivanisharma foundation works across ten areas: child and women’s empowerment, education, healthcare, sports for development, rural transformation, disaster management, urban renewal, arts and heritage, and environmental and animal welfare. Its objective is to develop and support initiatives across these areas, with a focus on addressing practical needs at the community level and extending its work to underserved sections of society.

The foundation’s approach is intentionally wider than a single cause, reflecting the understanding that the challenges faced by communities are often interconnected. A child’s future can depend on education and health; confidence can grow through sport; a woman’s independence can be strengthened through opportunity and support; and communities can become more secure when they have the capacity to respond to disasters and rebuild. This understanding has shaped the foundation’s range of proposed interventions, from education and healthcare to rural transformation, urban renewal, culture and environmental welfare. Sharma’s stated vision is to encourage young girls to pursue their ambitions without limiting themselves, while helping children gain the support and exposure required to imagine a larger future. The foundation also carries a broader humanitarian outlook, with its work intended to reach people and communities irrespective of background. In that sense, the organisation seeks to move away from one-time gestures and towards initiatives that can create continuity, participation and measurable change.

The next phase of the foundation’s journey is expected to take its work beyond Mumbai. Ranchi has been identified as an upcoming destination for its outreach, with the organisation preparing for a larger community programme there as it begins extending its footprint. The foundation has also launched its official digital platform, www.shivanisharmafoundation.org, creating a space for its mission, initiatives and future programmes to reach supporters and communities beyond the launch event. The website is expected to serve as a link between the organisation’s work on the ground and people who want to contribute, volunteer or understand its initiatives. The move towards a wider presence is significant for Sharma, as the foundation’s stated objective is not to remain centred around a single launch or city, but to gradually build a network through which its work can respond to different needs.

New Delhi [India], August 12: Some of Mohit Shrotriya’s most important business lessons did not come from a boardroom.

They came from France.

Living and studying across places such as Paris, La Rochelle, Poitiers and the South of France gave Mohit Shrotriya an opportunity to observe something that is difficult to capture in a business textbook: why certain brands become trusted, why some products acquire cultural value, and why luxury is often communicated without saying very much at all.

What stayed with him was not the price attached to a luxury product. It was the discipline behind it  the attention to detail, the restraint in presentation, the quality of service and the consistency with which a brand presents itself.

Those observations would eventually become part of the thinking behind Orelli Paris, the premium skincare house founded by Mohit Shrotriya by bringing together French elegance and next-generation Korean skin science.

But Orelli Paris is only one part of Mohit’s professional journey.

A Career Built Between Different Markets

Born in India, Mohit Shrotriya developed his academic and professional career across France, Canada, Europe and North America. That experience has given him a broad view of how markets behave across cultural boundaries.

Mohit describes his work as sitting at the intersection of entrepreneurship, culture, consumer economics, aesthetics and sustainability. His interest is not limited to what consumers purchase. He is interested in the reasons behind those choices   how trust develops, how identity influences decisions, how cultural signals affect perception and why certain ventures succeed in rapidly changing societies.

This has also shaped his work as an independent researcher.

Mohit’s research examines subjects including fast-advancing societies, consumer capital formation, trust, identity and culture-driven entrepreneurship. His independent research has been published on SSRN and indexed by Google Scholar, adding an academic dimension to a career that has also included entrepreneurship and international business.

His academic qualifications reflect that international orientation. He holds an MBA in International Business Management from Université du Québec à Montréal in Canada, an MSc in Management & Commerce International from Université de Poitiers in France and an MS in International Business Management from Excelia Group in France. His executive education has included international business law, private equity and venture capital, portfolio and risk management, green fiscal policy and forensic accounting.

What France Taught Mohit About Premium Brands

For Mohit Shrotriya, France was more than an academic destination. It became a reference point for understanding how premium businesses create perception.

During his time in the country, he encountered luxury through different settings beauty, hospitality, architecture, service and high-end consumer environments. The common thread was not excess. It was control.

The smallest details could influence how an experience was remembered. The presentation of a product, the language used by a brand, the design of a space or the manner in which a client was treated could all contribute to a sense of value.

That experience reinforced an idea that would later appear repeatedly in Mohit’s entrepreneurial work: premium positioning cannot be manufactured through appearance alone. It has to be supported by consistency.

It also changed the way he looked at consumer behaviour.

A consumer does not always choose on the basis of utility. Trust, aspiration, cultural familiarity, aesthetics and personal identity can all become part of the decision. For someone studying consumer economics and culture-driven entrepreneurship, these were not peripheral observations. They became subjects worth examining more closely.

The Idea Behind Orelli Paris

The beauty industry eventually provided a practical setting for those ideas.

Mohit saw an opportunity between two distinct approaches to modern skincare. French beauty offered a language of elegance, restraint and refinement. Korean skincare had developed a reputation for its sophisticated approach to hydration, active-led formulations, skin-barrier care and textures.

Orelli Paris was created around the intersection of these influences.

The brand’s proposition is not built around making skincare louder or more complicated. Instead, it aims to create a more considered premium skincare experience, with attention to radiance, tone correction, hydration, repair and barrier care.

This is where Mohit’s background becomes particularly relevant to the brand.

He is not approaching skincare simply as a product category. His understanding of culture and consumer trust informs how he thinks about the brand itself from its positioning to the experience it is intended to create.

In that sense, Mohit Shrotriya, founder of Orelli Paris(Certified Skincare Brand In India), is building a premium skincare brand shaped by French elegance, Korean skin science and a research-led understanding of consumer trust.

Where Research Meets Entrepreneurship

There is a clear connection between the questions Mohit explores as a researcher and the businesses he chooses to build.

His research asks how culture, trust, identity and perception influence entrepreneurial outcomes. His experience in international business gives him an opportunity to see those forces operating in actual markets.

That connection is important because premium consumer businesses are rarely built on product specifications alone.

A skincare formula may explain what a product does, but it does not entirely explain why someone trusts one brand over another. Design can attract attention, but it does not necessarily create long-term credibility. A brand can enter a market with an interesting concept, but sustaining its position requires consistency.

Mohit’s approach is to consider these elements together.

It is also why Orelli Paris is being developed as a premium beauty house rather than positioned simply as another fast-moving skincare label. The stated direction includes product innovation, retail partnerships, digital commerce and expansion into international markets while maintaining a clear brand identity.

Beyond Beauty

The same thinking extends into Mohit’s work outside the beauty industry.

He is also the founder of Pradeep Global Foundation, an Indo-French non-profit initiative working around sustainability, social empowerment and international cooperation. The foundation’s work has included sustainability awareness and an Indo-French Sustainable Development Awareness Program in collaboration with NCC India.

This provides another perspective on Mohit’s entrepreneurial philosophy.

For him, sustainability and social responsibility are not separate from business thinking. His experience with the foundation has reinforced his view that broader ideas such as responsible development and women’s empowerment have value only when they are connected to practical action.

Mohit’s professional experience has also extended into luxury services, concierge, real estate and international business development across Europe, including work involving high-value international environments.

Across these different areas, the industries may change, but the underlying interest remains similar: understanding people, markets and the factors that create lasting value.

Building for an International Market

The next phase of Mohit’s work is centred on international growth.

His ambition is to develop Orelli Paris into an internationally recognised beauty house, with markets across Europe, the Middle East, the United Kingdom and North America forming part of the longer-term vision.

The objective is not simply to put the brand in more countries. Mohit wants to establish a business with a consistent product identity, a refined visual language, transparent active-led skincare and enough credibility to build lasting relationships with consumers and retail partners.

At the same time, he intends to continue developing his research around consumer trust, culture, identity, aesthetics and fast-advancing societies, while expanding his entrepreneurial interests across beauty, luxury and sustainability.

That combination may ultimately be what distinguishes his profile.

A Founder With More Than One Lens

It would be easy to describe Mohit Shrotriya simply as the founder of Orelli Paris. The description would be accurate, but incomplete.

His work brings together several different worlds: an Indian entrepreneurial foundation, years of experience in France and Europe, international business education, independent research, premium consumer ventures and social-impact work through Pradeep Global Foundation.

Orelli Paris sits at the centre of many of those experiences.

French culture influenced Mohit’s understanding of refinement. Korean skincare science provided a modern formulation perspective. His research brought questions around trust, identity and consumer behaviour into the equation. His international experience added an understanding of how differently markets can interpret the same product or brand.

The result is a business philosophy that is less concerned with making noise and more concerned with creating something that can withstand attention over time.

For Mohit Shrotriya, that is the larger ambition to build businesses that are commercially relevant, culturally aware and capable of earning trust across markets.

Orelli Paris is his latest expression of that idea.

New Delhi [India], August 12: In the dynamic and often complex world of real estate development, every monumental project, skyline-defining commercial hub, and thriving retail destination shares a singular, foundational origin: the strategic acquisition of land. Without a precise understanding of how to identify, evaluate, and secure the right parcel of land, even the most ambitious architectural concepts remain unfulfilled potential. Recognizing this critical industry need, Dr. Zafar Iqbal, a distinguished leader, retail strategist, and industry veteran, has released his definitive new book, Real Estate Acquisition 101: The Complete Guide to Land Acquisition, Due Diligence, Valuation and Development Strategy.

• Comprehensive Due Diligence: Unpacking legal titles, zoning laws, environmental clearances, and regulatory compliance to safeguard investments against unforeseen liabilities.
• Valuation & Financial Modelling: Mastering the quantitative tools required to assess land value accurately, project cash flows, structure financial models, and ensure long-term project viability.
• Deal Structuring & Risk Management: Navigating negotiations, mitigating commercial risks, and crafting watertight agreements that protect stakeholder interests.
• Post-Acquisition Strategy: Transitioning seamlessly from acquisition to development, ensuring that the strategic vision conceptualized on paper translates into profitable, sustainable commercial reality.

Who Is This Book For?

Real Estate Acquisition 101 is tailored for a diverse audience of professionals who shape the built environment. It is an essential addition to the professional library of:

• Real Estate Developers & Investors seeking to sharpen their land-banking and financial evaluation techniques.
• Land Acquisition Specialists & Legal Consultants looking for a structured reference on due diligence and title verification.
• Retail and Commercial Leasing Professionals aiming to understand the foundational real estate assets that underpin successful retail ecosystems.

Behavioural insights, often referred to as “nudges,” use evidence from psychology and behavioural economics to design small changes that help people make better decisions without restricting choice.

The programme was attended by Chief Guest Dr. Ashok Lahiri, Hon’ble Vice Chairperson, NITI Aayog, and Guests of Honour Gen. Dalbir Singh Suhag (Retd.), Former Chief of the Army Staff and Former High Commissioner of India to Seychelles, and Prof. (Dr.) Pulkit Khanna, Dean, Jindal Institute of Behavioural Sciences. The evening featured opening remarks by Luis Miranda, Chairperson & Co-Founder, ISPP, followed by a special address by Lt. Gen. Dr. S. P. Kochhar, Director General, COAI, reflecting on Cheistha Kochhar’s life, work, and legacy.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Ashok Lahiri, Hon’ble Vice Chairperson, NITI Aayog, said:

“The most important lesson that behavioural economics has taught me is that we should be more concerned about not what a rational choice should be, but how people actually behave.”

The evening also featured a panel discussion on “The Future of Nudging: Behavioural Economics and Public Impact in India,” moderated by Prof. Sujoy Chakravarty, Professor of Economics, Jawaharlal Nehru University. The discussion, featuring Biju Dominic, Ruby Sinha, and Rama Shankar Pandey, explored the growing role of behavioural economics in public policy, governance, service delivery, and citizen engagement.

The Cheistha Kochhar Nudge Awards 2026 recognised three changemakers whose initiatives demonstrated the application of behavioural insights to improve public outcomes:

• ThinkZone, represented by Binayak Acharya: PRAKASHAK, a government-embedded digital parental engagement program in Odisha that delivers bite-sized, curriculum-aligned micro-learning activities to rural, low-income parents via WhatsApp, SMS, and automated calls to boost foundational literacy and numeracy.
• NammaKasa, represented by Jyothish V.M.: A frictionless, public civic-tech platform in Bengaluru that changes the default of civic reporting from private to public accountability, enabling citizens to report uncollected waste in under 30 seconds without downloading an app or creating an account.
• Project Mumbai, represented by Shishir Joshi: Plastic Recyclothon, a large-scale community recycling movement across Maharashtra that bridges the intent-to-action gap by establishing clear, scheduled plastic collection drives and turning recycled waste into public amenities like park benches and bins.

Each awardee received a cash prize of ₹10 lakh in recognition of their impactful work and commitment to behavioural innovation for public good.

The Cheistha Kochhar Nudge Awards aim to create a platform for recognising and encouraging excellence in behavioural science and nudging. By celebrating evidence-based innovations that improve public outcomes, the initiative seeks to inspire wider adoption of behavioural approaches across policy, governance, and social development, while carrying forward Cheistha Kochhar’s vision of thoughtful, evidence-based, and citizen-centric policymaking.

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 12:  As cyber threats continue to evolve at an unprecedented pace, the demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals has never been higher. Addressing this growing industry need, Securium Solutions Private Limited, through Securium Academy, has introduced its 90-Day VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) Training & Internship Program—an intensive, career-focused initiative designed to transform aspiring cybersecurity enthusiasts into industry-ready professionals.

Securium Solutions Private Limited is a CERT-In Empanelled Cybersecurity Company headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The company provides advanced cybersecurity services, including Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), Digital Forensics, Incident Response, Security Audits, and Cyber Risk Management to government departments, enterprises, educational institutions, and organizations across multiple sectors.

With its focus on technical excellence, innovation, and practical cybersecurity solutions, Securium Solutions has established a strong presence within India’s cybersecurity ecosystem.

Building on this industry expertise, Securium Academy has designed its flagship VAPT Training & Internship Program to bridge the gap between academic education and the practical requirements of the cybersecurity industry.

A Training Program That Replicates a Real Cybersecurity Job

Unlike conventional cybersecurity courses that primarily emphasize theoretical concepts, Securium Academy’s flagship program follows a 9-hour daily practical learning model for 90 consecutive days. The intensive structure is designed to replicate the working environment and expectations of professional cybersecurity organizations.

Participants spend nine hours every day learning, practicing, analyzing, and working on cybersecurity challenges under the guidance of experienced professionals. The program covers vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, exploitation techniques, vulnerability validation, security analysis, and professional security report writing.

Rather than relying solely on isolated laboratory exercises, participants gain practical exposure to scenarios designed to closely reflect real-world cybersecurity engagements.

Learn Through Real-Time Projects and Practical Exposure

One of the key strengths of the program is its emphasis on practical implementation and project-based learning.

Throughout the 90-day journey, participants work on assessments involving web applications, networks, and other digital environments. They learn to identify vulnerabilities, validate security weaknesses, understand exploitation methodologies, assess risks, and prepare professional penetration-testing reports.

Participants also receive internship exposure through practical cybersecurity projects under expert supervision. This approach is intended to develop technical expertise, analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and the confidence required to work in professional cybersecurity environments.

Master Industry-Standard VAPT Tools and Techniques

The curriculum provides extensive hands-on exposure to widely used cybersecurity tools and technologies. Participants work with Kali Linux, Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, Nessus, SQLmap, and other industry-standard tools used in vulnerability assessment and penetration testing.

The program focuses not only on learning tools but also on understanding the methodologies behind them. Participants learn how security professionals identify attack surfaces, discover vulnerabilities, validate findings, assess risks, and recommend appropriate remediation measures.

This approach helps learners develop both an attacker’s mindset for identifying vulnerabilities and a defender’s perspective for securing digital infrastructure.

How to Become a Penetration Tester?

To become a professional Penetration Tester, candidates need a strong foundation in networking, operating systems, web applications, and cybersecurity, combined with extensive hands-on practice. Learning industry-standard tools such as Kali Linux, Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, and SQLmap, along with practical VAPT projects and internship experience, can help aspiring professionals build job-ready skills.

Structured training, real-world project exposure, professional mentorship, and continuous technical learning can further help candidates develop the capabilities required to pursue careers in penetration testing and ethical hacking.

Securium Academy’s 90-Day VAPT Training & Internship Program provides an intensive pathway combining 9 hours of daily hands-on training, practical project exposure, internship experience, professional mentorship, and career preparation for individuals aspiring to become penetration testers.

A Structured Learning Path Towards Career Success

The 90-day program follows a progressive roadmap beginning with cybersecurity fundamentals, networking, web application security, penetration-testing methodologies, and VAPT concepts.

As students advance, they transition into intensive practical assignments involving vulnerability discovery, exploitation techniques, vulnerability validation, security assessments, and professional reporting.

The final phase focuses on career development through internship experience, portfolio creation, resume building, LinkedIn profile optimization, mock technical interviews, and dedicated placement preparation.

This comprehensive structure is designed to ensure that participants graduate with both technical capabilities and professional readiness.

Internship, Placement Support, and Industry Readiness

Securium Academy believes that practical experience is an important foundation for building a successful cybersecurity career.

Participants completing the program receive an Internship Completion Certificate, practical project exposure, a professional project portfolio, and placement assistance aimed at helping them explore opportunities within the cybersecurity industry.

Depending on their technical skills, practical capabilities, interview performance, and employer requirements, trained professionals can explore opportunities in areas such as VAPT, Ethical Hacking, Penetration Testing, Security Analysis, and Cybersecurity Operations.

Bridging India’s Cybersecurity Skills Gap

As organizations increasingly invest in cybersecurity to protect their digital infrastructure from sophisticated threats, the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals remains a significant industry challenge.

Securium Academy’s immersive learning model is designed to contribute toward addressing this skills gap by focusing on practical training rather than theory alone.

By combining intensive daily practice, project exposure, internship experience, professional mentorship, and career guidance, the program aims to equip aspiring professionals with the practical capabilities required to pursue careers in cybersecurity.

New Delhi [India], August 11: Buying a sofa is rarely a quick decision. It has to suit the room, feel comfortable, work for everyday use and still look right after the excitement of a new purchase fades. That is why many Indian shoppers prefer to explore their options carefully before making a choice. 

Pepperfry brings different seating styles together on one platform, which can make that process easier to manage from home.

Plenty of Choices in One Place

Every living room has its own layout and mood. Some homes need compact seating, while others have enough room for a larger arrangement.

People browsing sofa sets can look through different formats without moving between several websites or stores. The range may include single sofas, coordinated seating, sectionals, recliners and sofa-cum-beds. 

Seeing these categories together helps shoppers understand what may fit their space and how each option could support their daily routine.

It also gives them time to pause, compare and return to a shortlisted design later.

Search Tools Make Browsing Less Confusing

A large catalogue is useful only when shoppers can find their way through it. Filters help reduce the number of unsuitable options and keep the search focused.

Buyers can usually narrow their choices by considering:

• Seating capacity
• Room dimensions
• Material and finish
• Colour preference
• Design style
• Planned budget

This approach saves effort because the search begins with practical needs rather than appearance alone. It also reduces the chance of spending time on a sofa that may not suit the available area.

Product Details Help with Practical Checks

A sofa can look attractive in a photograph and still be wrong for the room. Measurements, material details and product images therefore matter during online shopping.

On Pepperfry, shoppers can read the available information and study a product from different angles before deciding whether it deserves a place on their shortlist. This makes it easier to check width, depth, seating style and overall proportions.

Such details also encourage buyers to think about doorway space, movement around the room, cleaning requirements and how often the sofa will be used.

Shopping from Home Gives More Breathing Room

Furniture shopping often involves several opinions. One person may care about comfort, another may focus on colour, and someone else may be concerned about size.

Online browsing gives families more time to discuss these points without rushing through a showroom visit. They can measure the room, check the placement of existing furniture and review the same product again before taking the next step.

That slower pace can be helpful when the sofa is expected to remain part of the home for years.

Coordinated Designs Simplify Room Planning

The sofa usually becomes the visual centre of a living room. Its shape, colour and finish influence how nearby furniture and décor come together.

Coordinated sofa sets can make planning simpler because the pieces already share a similar design language. Shoppers can then focus on whether the arrangement leaves enough walking space and whether it suits the way the room is used.

A thoughtful layout often feels more comfortable than one built around appearance alone.

Final Thoughts

Convenient sofa shopping is not only about having many products to view. It is also about finding useful details, narrowing choices and making a decision without unnecessary pressure.

Pepperfry offers a single place where shoppers can explore seating formats, study product information and consider what works for their home and household needs over the long term. 

Careful measurement and honest assessment still matter, but an organised online platform can make the journey feel less tiring and more practical.

New Delhi [India], August 12: Hotel Management Firm ProMiller has announced the addition of five hotels & resorts to its portfolio during the first quarter of FY 2026–27. The new mandates include a mix of boutique and luxury hospitality assets across Kashmir, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan, expanding the company’s presence across both established and emerging tourism destinations.

The signings mark a new phase in the company’s growth journey. Over the past several years, ProMiller has focused on strengthening its organisational capabilities, operational systems and management processes before pursuing expansion at scale. With those foundations now in place, the company has begun expanding its portfolio while maintaining what it describes as a disciplined and selective approach to growth.

The expansion comes as hospitality management companies continue to increase their presence across India through new management partnerships, with aggressive sign-ups increasingly being viewed as a key success metric in 2026. However, this trend has also led to an unintended consequence of divided attention across too many assignments, often resulting in a dilution of outcomes at multiple levels, whether at the owner level in terms of strategic alignment, at the property level in terms of operational focus, or at the team level in terms of execution depth and consistency. Against this backdrop, ProMiller said it intends to limit its additions to seven more properties during the remainder of FY 2026–27, taking its total planned signings for the financial year to twelve.

The company said its expansion strategy is centred on maintaining closer engagement with each property rather than pursuing rapid portfolio growth. According to ProMiller, every prospective partnership undergoes a rigorous evaluation process that considers ownership alignment, long-term asset potential and strategic objectives, with a preference for new-age owners whose progressive outlook aligns with the company’s long-term approach to hospitality.

“I’ve always believed that real growth doesn’t come from growing fast; it comes from building strong foundations. We don’t build businesses around individuals; we build organizations that can outlast every individual, including their founders. That’s why, at ProMiller, the organization will always come first, even before its owners, even before us. Those foundations have given us the confidence to expand, but they haven’t changed how we grow. We often describe our philosophy as choosing the elephant over the cheetah. We’d rather grow steadily, remain selective and give every partnership the attention it deserves than pursue scale for its own sake,” said Sahil Pandita, Founder of ProMiller.

The company said it develops customised operational and commercial strategies for each property, reflecting its longstanding approach of providing individualised attention to every assignment rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all management framework. It also acknowledged the support of its property owners, mentors, patrons, employees and industry partners, stating that the company’s continued growth has been made possible through their trust, guidance and collaboration.

The five signings in the opening quarter mark the start of ProMiller’s next growth phase after several years of building capabilities, systems and governance. With seven more partnerships planned for FY 2026–27, the company said it will continue expanding deliberately, balancing growth with the personalised, execution-led approach it is known for.

The search for the best crypto presale is getting more aggressive as Bitcoin struggles to offer retail the kind of upside it once did. BTC is trading around $63,600 today after falling sharply from its 2025 peak, even as large holders continue accumulating. At the same time, investor attention across broader markets is shifting toward AI as traders hunt for the next high-growth theme.

That is putting smaller AI-linked crypto projects back on retail radar. AlphaPepe ($ALPE) has now raised $2.29 million, attracted more than 10,800 holders, and moved into Stage 20 at $0.02602 after Stage 19 sold out fast. With AlphaSwap providing an AI utility angle, three CEX partnerships secured, and a major launch update coming August 19, AlphaPepe is increasingly being watched as an earlier-stage alternative to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Whales Are Buying, But the Easy Multiples Are Gone

Bitcoin remains the market leader, and whales are still accumulating. Recent data showed large holders adding roughly $1.2 billion in BTC while spot ETFs also attracted fresh inflows. Yet Bitcoin remains near $63,600, well below its 2025 high above $126,000.

For institutions, Bitcoin’s scale and liquidity are part of the attraction. For retail traders chasing larger multiples, they can also be the limitation. A 10x move from Bitcoin would require a vastly larger valuation.

That is why speculative capital is searching further down the risk curve, particularly where AI utility meets crypto. Broader markets are already seeing investors redirect attention from traditional crypto exposure toward AI-related opportunities. AlphaPepe is targeting that trade before public-market price discovery begins.

AlphaSwap Turns the Meme Trade Into an AI Utility Bet

AlphaPepe is not relying only on a meme narrative. AlphaSwap is being developed as an intelligence-focused DEX designed to analyze tokens before users complete a swap.

Its AI layer focuses on signals including contract risk, liquidity, holder concentration, and routing efficiency. AlphaSwap Early Access is already live, giving buyers a product to follow while $ALPE remains in presale.

That matters as AI becomes one of the strongest growth narratives across global markets. AlphaPepe gives retail two familiar hooks at once: meme-driven attention and AI-powered trading utility.

Stage 20 Opens at $0.02602 as Demand Builds

AlphaPepe has crossed $2.29 million raised and 10,800 holders, while Stage 19 sold out quickly enough to push the sale into Stage 20 at $0.02602.

The project has also secured three CEX partnerships, with online speculation increasingly turning toward whether a Tier-1 exchange could follow. No Tier-1 listing has been formally confirmed, but three existing exchange deals give the discussion more substance than the usual presale wishlist.

The next major date is August 19, when AlphaPepe is scheduled to reveal its latest launch update.

The Bonus Drop Adds a New Urgency Engine

AlphaPepe has now added another reason for buyers to act: the Bonus Drop.

Every draw wins, unlocking +10%, +30%, +50%, +100%, or +200% extra ALPE. Once opened, the bonus stays active for 48 hours and applies to every qualifying buy made during that window.

Previous buying activity also improves the odds of landing the bigger multipliers. That means loyal holders have a better shot at the strongest bonuses, while one winning drop can apply across multiple qualifying purchases during the full 48-hour period.

For retail already considering Stage 20, that creates a simple urgency trigger: open the drop, reveal the multiplier, and make use of it before the 48-hour window expires.

Why AlphaPepe Is Taking the Best Crypto Presale Spotlight

Bitcoin is still where institutions go for scale, liquidity, and established exposure. Retail traders hunting outsized upside, however, are looking for something Bitcoin can no longer offer: a genuinely early entry.

AlphaPepe remains before public trading at $0.02602, yet it already has $2.29 million raised, 10,800+ holders, AlphaSwap Early Access, three secured CEX partnerships, and a launch update approaching on August 19.

Now the Bonus Drop adds up to 200% extra ALPE during limited 48-hour windows.

That mix of early-stage pricing, AI utility, exchange momentum, and aggressive bonus mechanics is why AlphaPepe is pushing into the best crypto presale conversation while Bitcoin remains a much more mature trade.

Key Takeaways

• Bullski publishes a capped supply, a verified contract, a locked liquidity plan and all sixteen stage prices.
• Polkadot is the largest of the traded comparisons at about $1.37 billion on August 10, 2026.
• Decentraland is the smallest at roughly $130 million, down more than 98 percent from its peak.
• Stage 1 sits at $0.00001, and the final rung meets a $0.0025 listing reference.

Ranking the best presale tokens means asking what a sale locks in before anyone can trade. Bullski ($BULLSKI) locks in four things and publishes all of them, with stage 1 selling at $0.00001. Polkadot, Filecoin, Optimism, and Decentraland all sold tokens ahead of their own launches, and their prices today show what those terms were worth in the end.

Open the token sale on bullski.io to compare.

Best Presale Tokens of 2026

The open sale is first. The four after it are included because each one shows a different outcome for buyers who came in before trading started.

1. Bullski ($BULLSKI), Stage 1 Open

Bullski is a token sale you can still enter at its first price. Sixteen rungs, each published, starting at $0.00001 and stepping to $0.000015 next.

The rest of the terms are just as plain.  120 billion tokens, capped. An ERC-20 contract on Ethereum that Etherscan shows as verified.

A 16-stage ladder ending at a $0.0025 listing reference. An audit is underway, and liquidity gets locked once trading opens.

There is one more piece most sales do not offer. Staking and referral rewards run while the sale is still going, so tokens work from the day they arrive. The honest limit is that they cannot be sold until the listing.

2. Polkadot (DOT)

Polkadot sold tokens publicly before launching and now trades at $0.805 for a market cap of about $1.37 billion, per CoinGecko. Its record was $54.98 in November 2021. The engineering behind it is widely respected.

The token has still fallen more than 98 percent from that peak, which is the plainest argument for caring about entry price.

3. Filecoin (FIL)

Filecoin ran one of the biggest token sales of its era and sits at $0.6996 for roughly $573 million. It peaked at $236.84 in April 2021. Its storage network works and is used.

Raising a large amount early clearly did not protect the token from a long decline.

4. Optimism (OP)

Optimism changed hands at $0.0918 for about $210 million, down from $4.84 in March 2024. It is one of the main scaling networks on Ethereum and carries genuine daily activity. Its token has struggled anyway, because network usage and token value are only loosely connected.

5. Decentraland (MANA)

Decentraland sold its token in 2017 and now trades at $0.0666 for around $130 million, against $5.85 in November 2021. It built one of the first virtual worlds on Ethereum. Interest in that idea peaked years ago and the price has followed it down ever since.

The Four Things Bullski Locks In Before Listing

First, the supply. Capped at 120 billion, so no quiet minting can dilute a holder later. Second, the contract, verified and readable by anyone with a browser.

Third, liquidity, which locks when the token launches rather than staying under someone’s control. Fourth, the price schedule, published stage by stage so nobody is surprised by what they pay.  What $BULLSKI locks before listing is set out on the official site, and our earlier breakdown of the token supply and allocation goes through the numbers.

Fun Fact: Polkadot reached $54.98 in November 2021 and trades at $0.805 today. That is a fall of more than 98 percent for a project that never stopped shipping.

What a Presale Buyer Is Really Paying For

Not the technology, and not the promises. A presale buyer is paying for a position at a price nobody else can bid against, before a market exists to argue about it.

That is why the terms matter more than the pitch. Polkadot and Filecoin had excellent technology and terrible outcomes for late entrants. The tokens that treated their early buyers best were the ones that got the supply and liquidity right. 

Our list of the best crypto to buy in 2026 applies the same standard across the wider market.

Watch out: A sale with no published supply figure and no verifiable contract is not offering terms at all. It is offering a story, and stories are not enforceable.

Buying the Rung That Is Open

Terms are the only thing a buyer can judge before a market exists. For four of the tokens above, those terms were settled years ago, and all that is left now is a chart.

The fifth still publishes them. You need ETH or USDT in an Ethereum wallet, the official site open, and a look at the rung showing on screen before you take a stage 1 position. Staking can be switched on immediately afterwards.

Keep the amount modest and treat it as one slot among several rather than a central holding.

Presale Token Questions

What makes a presale token worth buying?
Published terms rather than promises. A capped supply, a verified contract, locked liquidity, and a stage schedule you can read before you pay anything.

Is Bullski still at its first price?
Yes. Stage 1 is $0.00001 and holds until that rung sells out, at which point stage 2 opens at $0.000015.

Do presale buyers always come out ahead?
No. Polkadot, Filecoin, and Decentraland all ran sales and all trade far below their peaks, so entry price improves the odds without settling them.

Can presale tokens earn before listing?
Not usually, which is what makes staking during a sale unusual. Bullski runs staking and referral rewards while the sale is still open.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 12: Natarajan Chandrasekaran has made it clear: he won’t seek another term as chairman of Tata Sons after his current stint wraps up on February 20, 2027. That means, after nearly ten years leading India’s biggest business group, he’s preparing to move on. He’ll stay in charge until then to keep things running smoothly, but he’s already asked the board to kick off the search for a successor.

It’s not just routine business. Chandrasekaran’s decision follows months of tension at the top. Earlier this year, the Tata Sons board postponed voting on his reappointment, reportedly because of disagreements with Noel Tata, chairman of Tata Trusts. The debate? Where the group is headed and how it should be governed. The two main trusts—Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Sir Ratan Tata Trust—had both pushed for a five-year extension, but the board stayed silent, leaving his role up in the air.

In a note to the board, Chandrasekaran didn’t mince words. He said the group needs clarity about who’s leading, especially now, as it’s taking on several big projects. He’s made his position clear—he won’t return once his term ends—and has urged the board and shareholders to find his replacement soon so the handover goes off without a hitch.

Looking back, Chandrasekaran has left his mark. He stepped into the top job in early 2017, after Cyrus Mistry’s exit, and wasted no time shaking things up. The group branched out into airlines (with the Air India turnaround), new tech like semiconductors and batteries, and digital ventures. At the same time, he made sure mainstays like TCS, Tata Motors, and Tata Steel stayed strong.

Financially, it’s hard to argue with the results: revenues and profits shot up, and expansions like Air India’s acquisition paid off. Chandrasekaran also made big strides in modernizing the group’s governance and pushing Tata Sons towards tech and global competition.

The markets, though, didn’t take the news well. Stocks like TCS, Tata Motors, and Tata Consumer Products dropped as investors worried about a shakeup at the top. Now everyone’s watching closely to see who steps into these big shoes—this is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about succession stories since Mistry left.

This change will also ripple across the Tata empire—all thirty-plus companies—because the chairman sets the tone for strategy and decides where the money goes. For now, Chandrasekaran’s still steering the ship and will likely keep driving strategic plans until he officially steps down.

So what comes next for Tata Sons? With Chandrasekaran out of the running for a third term, the board and the Tata Trusts have to agree on who leads next—and it won’t be easy. The new chairman will need to balance Tata’s legacy industries with its bold bets on tomorrow’s tech. Along the way, expect a lot of debate over how the group is governed and who ultimately calls the shots for this $400 billion giant.

Chandrasekaran’s journey with Tata—starting back in 1987 at TCS and ending at the very top—will draw to a close in February 2027. For Bombay House, it’s truly the end of an era.

New Delhi [India], August 12: SoftTech Engineers Limited, a pioneer in AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction & Operations) technology and e-governance solutions, proudly marks 30 years of innovation, engineering excellence, and digital transformation.

Instead of making a purchase without seeing the product, customers can visit the showroom, discuss their requirements, understand specifications, and make a more informed decision.

Explore Lenovo Laptops Before You Buy

Choosing a laptop online can sometimes be confusing because different models may have similar-looking specifications but offer different features and performance levels. A physical showroom gives buyers an opportunity to understand the differences between models.

A laptop is an important investment, so customers should consider how they intend to use the device before selecting a model. Students may prioritize portability, battery life, and affordability, while professionals may require stronger performance for multitasking.

If you are searching for Buy Lenovo laptop Jaipur, visiting the store can help you evaluate different options in person. You can discuss your requirements with the store team and select a configuration that fits your intended usage rather than choosing a device solely based on its appearance or specifications listed online.

Compare Models According to Your Budget

Budget is one of the most important considerations when purchasing a laptop. Lenovo offers computers across different segments, allowing customers to choose a model according to their requirements and spending range.

Before purchasing, it is useful to compare the processor, RAM, storage, screen, operating system, connectivity, battery, build quality, and other features. The right combination of specifications can provide better value over the useful life of the laptop.

Customers looking for Lenovo store in jaipur can visit the showroom to check the current prices of available models and understand which options provide the features they need within their budget.

Find a Laptop for Students and Professionals

Different users have different laptop requirements. A college student may need a lightweight machine for assignments, presentations, online classes, browsing, and entertainment. A working professional may require a reliable laptop for office applications, meetings, communication, and multitasking.

For more demanding applications, customers may need higher specifications and stronger hardware.

At Lenovo Exclusive Store – Dreamscape Technologies, customers can discuss their usage requirements before selecting a device. This makes it easier to identify an appropriate laptop rather than purchasing a model that does not match actual requirements.

There is no single laptop that is perfect for every customer. The ideal device depends on how it will be used, how frequently it will be carried, the applications required, and the available budget.

Customers searching for the Best Lenovo laptop in Jaipur can visit the showroom and compare suitable options based on their individual needs.

Trusted Assistance for Your Laptop Purchase

Purchasing a laptop is not simply about choosing the newest processor or the highest amount of RAM. Customers should consider their actual requirements and determine which specifications provide useful benefits.

Customers searching for a Lenovo authorised dealer Jaipur can consider visiting Lenovo Exclusive Store – Dreamscape Technologies to discuss their requirements and explore available Lenovo products.

The store team can also help customers understand the practical differences between configurations so that they can choose a laptop with confidence.

Flexible Payment Options for Eligible Customers

For many customers, purchasing a laptop through an EMI option can make the cost easier to manage. Instead of paying the entire amount at once, eligible customers may be able to use available financing options according to applicable terms.

Customers searching for Lenovo store in Jaipur can enquire at the store about current EMI and payment options. Availability, eligibility, tenure, and other conditions may vary, so customers should confirm the details at the time of purchase.

Why Visit a Physical Lenovo Store?

Online shopping offers convenience, but visiting a physical store has its own advantages. Customers can see the laptop before purchasing it, assess its design and screen, understand its size and portability, and ask questions about specifications.

A showroom visit also provides an opportunity to compare different models based on actual requirements rather than relying only on online product descriptions.

For people searching for a Lenovo laptop shop Jaipur, a dedicated Lenovo store can provide a more focused buying experience.

Get Assistance When You Need Laptop Service

Even with proper care, electronic products may occasionally require technical assistance. Understanding where to seek support can provide additional confidence when purchasing a laptop.

Customers searching for Lenovo laptop service Jaipur can contact the appropriate support channels and enquire about service assistance applicable to their product. The exact service process can depend on the issue, product model, warranty status, and applicable Lenovo service policies.

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], August 12:  SEPC Limited (NSE: SEPC | BSE: 532945), a leading EPC company with established expertise in industrial infrastructure, process plants, water and wastewater management, today announced its consolidated financial results for the first quarter (Q1 FY27) ended 30 June 2026.

The company delivered strong topline growth of 40% year-on-year, even as its international project sites — including ongoing execution in the Middle East — worked through a challenging regional operating environment during the quarter. Order intake remained robust, anchored by a large multi-package win from SAIL at its IISCO Burnpur Steel Plant, reinforcing the strength and diversification of SEPC’s order book across geographies and sectors.

• ₹282 Cr Total Income in Q1 FY27, up 40% YoY from ₹202 Cr in Q1 FY26
• ₹10,670 Cr Total orders on hand as at 30 June 2026 — domestic + international
• ₹952 Cr Fresh SAIL Pellet Plant order received in August 2026, over and above the order book

Key Highlights

• Total Income stood at ₹282 Cr in Q1 FY27, up 40% year-on-year from ₹202 Cr in Q1 FY26, supported by continued execution across the order book.
• EBITDA stood at ₹26 Cr, with an EBITDA margin of 9.2%, compared with ₹30 Cr and 14.9%, respectively, in Q1 FY26, primarily reflecting margin pressure on select overseas contracts.
• The company reported a net loss of ₹11 Cr compared with a profit of ₹17 Cr in Q1 FY26. Management views the margin pressure as an execution-phase impact on specific overseas contracts and is undertaking cost and pricing measures to improve margins in the coming quarters.

Order Book & Business Momentum

• Total orders on hand stood at ₹10,670 Cr as at 30 June 2026 — a domestic order book of ₹5,270 Cr and an international order book of ₹5,400 Cr spanning Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia.

• The domestic order book is well diversified across Mining (₹2,796 Cr), Water (₹699 Cr), Industrial EPC (₹681 Cr), Power (₹607 Cr), Construction (₹366 Cr), Roads (₹89 Cr) and Oil & Gas (₹32 Cr).

• SEPC won three orders during the quarter at SAIL’s IISCO Burnpur Steel Plant — a Sinter Plant BOP package (₹423.29 Cr), a Coke Oven BOP package (₹350.28 Cr) and, in early August, a 4.2 MTPA Pellet Plant BOP package (₹952.19 Cr) — underscoring the company’s growing traction in the metals and mining EPC space.

• SEPC has bids under active evaluation of ₹1,280 Cr in Water & Infrastructure and ₹3,060 Cr in Industrial EPC, providing strong forward visibility on the pipeline.

Strategic & Corporate Developments

• Board and shareholder approvals have been completed for the proposed acquisition of Avenir International, a step expected to strengthen SEPC’s overall delivery capabilities; the transaction now awaits exchange and lender approvals.

• The company has substantially utilised the proceeds of its recent rights issue, deploying funds towards debt repayment, NCD redemption and working capital requirements in line with the stated objects of the issue.

Commenting on the Q1 FY27 financial results, Mr. Venkataramani Jaiganesh, Managing Director, SEPC Limited, said: “Q1 FY27 marked a strong start to the year, with revenue growing 40% year-on-year, reflecting continued execution across our diversified order book. While margins remained under pressure in select international projects during the quarter, our focus remains on disciplined execution, cost optimisation and improving project-level profitability as these projects progress.

Our order book continues to provide a strong foundation for growth, with a healthy mix across water, mining, industrial EPC, power, construction, roads and oil & gas. The recent wins from SAIL, including the 4.2 MTPA Pellet Plant BOP project, further strengthen our position in the metals and mining segment and add to the momentum in our domestic business.

As we move through FY27, our priorities remain focused on strengthening execution, improving project margins and converting our growing pipeline of opportunities into sustainable business growth. We remain confident in our ability to build on the current order momentum while maintaining a disciplined approach to project selection and execution.”

New Delhi [India], August 12: When musician and entrepreneur Supratiek Shyamal Ghosh founded Alive India on August 1, 2010, India’s creative industries were largely fragmented, with artists, brands, media, institutions and production professionals often operating independently.

Sixteen years later, Alive India has evolved into an artist-led music, media and cultural ecosystem connecting creators, brands, educational institutions, corporates and audiences across 26 Indian states.

At the heart of this journey is Ghosh, a singer, songwriter, composer, music producer, performer and cultural entrepreneur who believes India never lacked creative talent but needed stronger infrastructure to connect talent with opportunity.

His understanding of the industry came from experience. Through his band Aurko – The Rising Sun, which enters its 26th year in 2026, Ghosh has performed in more than 2,700 concerts across over 70 cities in India and internationally.

The journey exposed him not only to the spotlight but also to the less visible realities of the music business — rehearsals, production, artist coordination, technical challenges, brand expectations, media relations and the financial uncertainties faced by performers.

The result was Alive India, conceived as a bridge between music, media, creators, brands and communities.

What began in Bengaluru as a modest initiative has developed into an ecosystem encompassing Alive India Studio, Alive India In Concert, Alive India Rockstars, Alive India Music Foundation, Alive Emerge – Learn to Earn, Gift A Music and Bhalobashi Bangla.

Its Bengaluru-based Music, Media and Creator Campus enables musicians and creators to record, rehearse, film, collaborate and develop content under one roof.

The organisation has also placed considerable emphasis on young talent. Through industry immersion, internships, workshops, residencies and live opportunities, emerging creators are exposed to the practical realities of the creative economy.

Ghosh’s philosophy is summed up in four words — “Passion. Purpose. Profit. Repeat.” He believes creativity needs passion and purpose, but must also generate sustainable income if artists are to build long-term careers.

Another principle running through his work is “I to Us. Me to We” — a belief that individual artistic success can become an opportunity for an entire creative community.

His own musical career continues to develop alongside his entrepreneurial work. Aurko’s philosophy, “Band Equals Bandhan,” reflects the importance Ghosh places on relationships, collaboration and continuity.

His contribution to music is also receiving international recognition. Ghosh has been nominated for the International Mother Teresa Award for Singer and Music Excellence, scheduled to be presented in Singapore on August 26, alongside personalities including Poonam Dhillon, Padmini Kolhapure and Rituparna Sengupta, among others.

The recognition comes at a time when India’s creator economy is undergoing rapid transformation, with digital platforms, regional content, artificial intelligence and experiential marketing reshaping how creative work is produced, consumed and monetised.

Ghosh believes the future lies in convergence rather than isolated transactions — where a performance can become content, content can create community, and community can generate sustainable commercial opportunities for creators.

As Alive India enters its 17th year, its journey represents an unusual transition — from an artist seeking opportunities to an artist building opportunities for others.

Alive India was never created to own the spotlight, Ghosh says. It was created to help more people find theirs.

New Delhi [India], August 12: Choosing the right train requires more than checking seat availability or fare. Departure and arrival timings, station access, route pattern, halt frequency and total travel duration can influence how smoothly a journey fits into a traveller’s plans. 

redRail by redbus has highlighted factors passengers may consider before booking. The guidance encourages travellers to assess the journey, from reaching the boarding station to arranging onward travel after arrival.

Accurate Travel Details Establish a Better Starting Point

The process should begin with the correct source, destination and journey date. These details determine which trains appear and whether they operate. Passengers should verify station names and codes, especially in cities with multiple terminals.

Train number, operating days and scheduled timings should be checked before selecting an IRCTC train ticket. Services departing shortly after midnight require care because they fall on the next calendar date.

Practical Departure Timings Can Support Easier Boarding

A practical departure depends on how easily the passenger can reach the station. Early morning services may offer useful arrivals, but local transport may be limited. Late-night departures can preserve the working day, although transport availability matters.

Travellers should consider traffic, luggage, station size and platform access. Families with children, senior citizens or passengers needing mobility support may need more time. The right departure should allow calm boarding rather than a rushed start.

Suitable Arrival Timings Can Improve Onward Travel

Arrival time should support the traveller’s plans after leaving the train. A faster service may reach late at night, when transport or support is limited. A longer journey arriving during daylight may be more convenient.

Passengers should consider meetings, hotel check-in, family functions, medical appointments and connecting services. The distance between the station and final destination should be checked, as a better-connected terminal may save time after arrival.

Route Patterns Can Influence Overall Convenience

Trains serving the same cities may follow different routes, use separate terminals or stop at different stations. A service with fewer halts may be faster, while another may offer a station closer to the passenger’s location. Neither option is always better.

The route should be assessed according to accessibility, timing and travel purpose. Passengers boarding at an intermediate station should check the scheduled departure from that point rather than the original starting time.

Halt Patterns May Affect Speed and Flexibility

Halt frequency and duration can influence the travel experience. Limited-stop trains may reduce journey time, while services with frequent halts may provide more boarding or alighting options. Longer stops can increase the total duration.

Travellers should decide whether they value a faster journey or route flexibility. Passengers travelling with children or senior citizens may consider whether the halt pattern makes the journey easier to manage.

Journey Duration Should Be Assessed in Context

Total travel time is useful for comparison, but the shortest service may not be the most suitable. Overnight trains can use sleeping hours and preserve more of the following day. Daytime services may suit passengers who prefer travelling while awake or want easier access to meals and transport.

Personal comfort, work commitments and rest requirements should be considered with the scheduled duration. Travellers should note long waiting periods that may extend the journey.

Direct and Connecting Options Require Separate Review

A direct train is easier because it avoids changing services, moving luggage and locating another platform. However, a connecting journey may offer better timings, station access or seat availability. Passengers considering connections should review the interchange station, waiting period and distance between platforms.

A narrow transfer window can create pressure if the first service is delayed. A longer but manageable connection may be more practical than one depending on exact timings.

Station Connectivity Can Shape the Final Decision

Boarding and arrival stations should be assessed for road access, local transport and distance from key areas. A train may appear faster but use a terminal that takes longer to reach. Passengers should consider taxis, buses, metro services, parking and pickup facilities before booking.

This matters in cities with several major stations. Reviewing complete door-to-door travel time can provide a more realistic comparison than looking only at the scheduled rail journey.

Travel Class Should Reflect Journey Length and Comfort

The preferred travel class depends on the length and timing of the journey. A short daytime trip may involve different comfort needs from a long overnight service. Travellers should assess seating or sleeping arrangements, luggage requirements, privacy and the needs of accompanying passengers.

Seat availability can be reviewed after route and timing suitability are confirmed. Selecting a convenient train first and then choosing an appropriate class can support a balanced decision.

Fare Should Be Compared with Practical Value

Fare matters, but the lowest-priced option may involve an inconvenient station, unsuitable timing or a longer journey. Travellers can assess whether a slightly higher fare provides better arrival timing, fewer changes or easier station access.

Local transport costs to and from distant terminals should be included. A complete comparison should consider the ticket fare alongside expenses of reaching the station and continuing the journey after arrival.

Operational Updates and Buffer Time Remain Important

Passengers should avoid planning important commitments immediately after arrival. A reasonable buffer helps manage delays, platform changes and time needed to leave the station. This is especially important when a flight, another train, meeting or appointment follow the journey.

Closer to departure, travellers can use redBus to check the train running status by entering the train name or number. Official railway announcements should be followed.

A Combined Review Can Support More Informed Booking

The most suitable train is one that works across the complete journey rather than meeting one requirement. Timing, route, halt pattern, connectivity, duration, class and fare should form one combined decision.

Travellers can use redRail by redbus to search services and review timings, routes, station details, journey duration and seat availability. Keeping the train number and booking details accessible, reaching the station early and checking updates can support a more organised travel experience.

Aushim Khetarpal with Divyang athletes

Agra (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 11: The Divyang Cricket Board of India organised a grand Cricketers & Athletes Awards Ceremony in Agra, celebrating the extraordinary achievements, determination and sporting spirit of Divyang and para-athletes from across the country.

The prestigious event was graced by Aushim Khetarpal, Head of the Shirdi Sai Baba Foundation, a well-known spiritual leader in India and internationally, as the Chief Guest, along with Smt. Meenakashi Lekhi, who joined the celebrations and felicitated the remarkable sporting talent present at the ceremony.

The event brought together athletes representing different categories, including blind and differently abled cricketers and para-athletes, who were recognised for their achievements, commitment and contribution to Indian sport.

“DON’T GIVE THEM DONATIONS. GIVE THEM SPONSORSHIPS.”

The highlight of the evening was an impassioned and memorable address by Aushim Khetarpal, which received enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Speaking about the Divyang athletes, Aushim Khetarpal said that society should not look at disability through the lens of pity or charity.

He described the athletes present at the ceremony as an inspiration to the entire country, particularly at a time when people are increasingly conscious of fitness, physical strength and healthy living.

He observed that many of these athletes have overcome extraordinary physical challenges and have nevertheless chosen the path of sport, discipline and determination.

Their strength and achievements, he said, should inspire every individual to remain fit, active and mentally strong.

The defining moment of his speech came when he made a direct appeal to sponsors and corporate India:

“Do not give these cricketers and para-athletes donations. Give them sponsorships.”

Explaining his position, Aushim Khetarpal said that treating accomplished athletes as recipients of charity can unintentionally undermine their confidence and dignity.

“By giving them donations, you are just making them feel weak. Give them sponsorship. Give them an opportunity. Let them stand on their own strength and earn through their talent.”

The statement was met with loud applause across the hall, with the audience strongly responding to his call for a change in the way Divyang athletes are supported.

His message was clear: Divyang athletes do not need pity; they need platforms, opportunities, professional recognition and equal sporting opportunities.

ATHLETES HONOURED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS

During the ceremony, awards were presented to several outstanding athletes and cricketers who have demonstrated exceptional courage and sporting excellence.

The awardees represented the immense diversity and talent within India’s para-sports movement, including athletes from the blind and other Divyang categories.

The ceremony recognised not merely their sporting performances but also the discipline, resilience and determination that brought them to the sporting arena.

Aushim Khetarpal and Smt. Meenakashi Lekhi congratulated the award winners and encouraged them to continue pursuing excellence and becoming role models for the younger generation.

A NEW APPROACH TO DIVYANG SPORT

The Agra event also highlighted the need for a fundamental change in the way society and institutions support Divyang sport. The Divyang Cricket Board of India emphasised that sponsorship should be viewed as an investment in sporting talent rather than charity. Supporting Divyang athletes is not only about providing financial assistance but also about creating opportunities for them to compete, grow and build sustainable sporting careers.

Corporate houses, institutions and individuals were encouraged to support athletes through professional sponsorships, equipment and training support, tournament sponsorship, travel and accommodation assistance, sports scholarships, media and promotional opportunities, and employment and professional opportunities. Such support can give athletes the confidence, independence and resources they need to pursue their sporting ambitions and compete at higher levels.

New Delhi [India], August 11: BlueRose Publishers presents Chamanpur Village: A Tale about Boys and Men, the debut fiction novel by Pramila Sankarankutty. Blending village fiction with elements of mystery and light fantasy, the novel explores themes of friendship, brotherhood and social responsibility through the story of an imaginary village brought together in the face of an unexpected crisis. With its focus on compassion, unity and collective growth, the book offers a thoughtful narrative that remains relevant in a world where communities continue to grapple with division and change.

Set in the fictional village of Chamanpur, the story follows four lifelong friends whose peaceful lives are disrupted when a mysterious creature begins appearing every night. What initially seems to be an unexplained supernatural event gradually evolves into a deeper exploration of human nature. As fear spreads across the village, hidden emotions including envy, mistrust and selfish ambition begin to surface, testing friendships and threatening the harmony that once defined the community. Guided by the enigmatic Maalik, the four friends embark on a journey that challenges not only their courage but also their understanding of loyalty, responsibility and leadership.

Rather than relying solely on suspense or fantasy, Chamanpur Village: A Tale about Boys and Men places its emphasis on the emotional and social transformation of its characters. The novel explores how communities respond to uncertainty and demonstrates that lasting change is often achieved through cooperation rather than conflict. Through its fictional setting, the story highlights values that transcend differences of caste, class, religion and creed, presenting kindness and mutual respect as the foundation of a stronger society.

One of the distinctive aspects of the novel is the way it transforms an imaginary village into a reflection of contemporary society. Chamanpur itself becomes an important character, symbolising the strength that emerges when individuals work together despite personal differences. Instead of portraying heroism through extraordinary powers, the narrative suggests that ordinary people can create meaningful change through empathy, perseverance and shared purpose. This approach gives the novel a broader social relevance while maintaining the charm of a character-driven work of fiction.

Written in a clear and accessible style, the book balances mystery with emotional storytelling, making it suitable for readers who enjoy village-based fiction, family-centred narratives and stories with uplifting themes. While the mysterious nightly visitor drives the plot, the novel ultimately focuses on the enduring importance of friendship, community and the belief that even small acts of kindness can transform lives. By combining elements of fantasy with realistic human emotions, the story offers a reading experience that is both engaging and reflective.

Swami Sahajanand Maharaj speaks about the 37-year spiritual journey behind the world’s largest Maha Mrityunjaya.

Hisar (Haryana) [India], August 10: The divine doors of the world’s largest Maha Mrityunjaya Yantra, created through decades of intense spiritual practice, meditation and devotion, are all set to open in Hisar. The Yantra, established at the Om Siddh Maha Mrityunjaya International Yoga and Astrology Research Centre in Mayyar, will be opened to devotees and the general public on August 17, on the auspicious occasion of Nag Panchami.

On this occasion, five crore Belpatra (bilva leaves) will be offered to the Yantra as part of a grand spiritual ritual. The organisers claim that the Mahaanushthan is being performed with the spiritual resolve to remove Kaal Sarp Dosha from the country of India. The Yantra, which became a major attraction for millions of devotees during its temporary installation in Prayagraj, has now been permanently established at Mayyar.

During a press conference held at the research centre on Saturday, Swami Sahajanand Maharaj said that the Yantra is the manifestation of his 37 years of uninterrupted spiritual practice and dedication. He said the purpose of the centre is not limited to providing devotees with an opportunity for darshan, but also to offer facilities for meditation, worship, Maha Mrityunjaya sadhana and spiritual contemplation. He described the initiative as an important step towards developing a global centre for spiritual awareness and self-realisation.

From Tapasya to Siddhi: A 37-Year Journey to Manifest the Vision

Swami Sahajanand Maharaj explained that the creation of the world’s largest Maha Mrityunjaya Yantra is the result of 37 years of spiritual practice and dedication.

Before its permanent establishment in Mayyar, the Yantra was temporarily installed in Prayagraj, where millions of devotees visited and received its darshan. It has now been permanently established at the research centre in Mayyar.

According to the organisers, the Yantra is unique in its scale and concept. Through this initiative, an effort is being made to bring together the ancient Indian traditions of Rishi Parampara, Yoga, Astrology and Spiritual Science on a common platform.

Grand Spiritual Gathering on Nag Panchami: Five Crore Belpatra to Be Offered

On August 17, Nag Panchami, the public inauguration of the Maha Mrityunjaya Yantra will be accompanied by a grand ritual in which five crore Belpatra leaves will be offered to the Yantra.

According to the organisers, the offering of such a large number of Belpatra holds special religious and spiritual significance. They claim that the ritual is being conducted with the spiritual resolve to remove Kaal Sarp Dosha from India.

The event is expected to bring together a large number of devotees and provide them an opportunity to participate in Maha Mrityunjaya sadhana, have darshan of the Yantra and experience various spiritual rituals.

A Spiritual Resolve to Overcome Kaal Sarp Dosha

The organisers stated that the offering of five crore Belpatra on Nag Panchami is not merely a religious ritual but is being undertaken as a larger spiritual resolve.

According to them, the purpose of this Mahaanushthan is to undertake spiritual sadhana with the intention of addressing Kaal Sarp Dosha at the national level.

The event has generated considerable enthusiasm among devotees and is being presented as a major spiritual gathering.

Spiritual Significance of the 33 Letters of the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

During the press conference, Swami Sahajanand Maharaj and Astro Pradyuman also explained the spiritual and symbolic significance associated with the 33 letters of the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra.

According to their explanation, each letter of the mantra is traditionally associated with a particular energy centre of the human body and a specific dimension of consciousness.

Through visual presentations, they explained how the combination of Mantra, Yantra and Meditation is regarded within the spiritual tradition as a means of supporting inner awareness and spiritual growth.

Centre to Become a Hub for Meditation, Sadhana and Spiritual Research

The research centre will provide devotees with facilities for meditation, spiritual practices, Maha Mrityunjaya sadhana and traditional worship.

Swami Sahajanand Maharaj said that the objective is not merely to provide devotees with an opportunity for darshan of the Yantra, but also to inspire people towards a stress-free, balanced and spiritually enriched way of life.

He expressed confidence that in the coming years, the centre will develop into an important national and international destination for spiritual research, meditation and sadhana.

Posters and Visual Presentations Explain the Connection Between Mantra, Yantra and Energy

During the press conference, various posters and visual presentations were used to explain concepts related to the Maha Mrityunjaya Yantra, Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, meditation, the subtle body, the Vedic concept of 33 Koti Devas, Mantra Vigyan and the flow of energy.

The speakers described these presentations as an effort to explain aspects of India’s ancient spiritual traditions. The objective, they said, is to familiarise devotees with different approaches to spiritual practice and their traditional significance.

From Prayagraj to Mayyar: A New Chapter in the Journey of Faith

After 37 years of spiritual practice, the Maha Mrityunjaya Yantra has now found a permanent home in Mayyar and is emerging as a new centre of devotion and spiritual awareness.

Its journey from Prayagraj to Mayyar represents a new chapter in this spiritual journey—where years of tapasya took shape, sadhana found a physical form, and devotees will now have the opportunity to connect with the Yantra.

On Nag Panchami, August 17, the offering of five crore Belpatra leaves will mark another significant milestone in this journey of faith, devotion and spiritual practice.

Patna (Bihar) [India], August 11: For a farmer, rain is not merely water; it is a promise, livelihood and hope to provide food for a family. When the rainfall is insufficient, hope turns into uncertainty that may impact crop, incomes and day-to-day life for farmer families.

In order to address the crisis faced by farmers affected by shortage of rainfall, Aahwahan Foundation, with the CSR support of NephroPlus, has taken steps to give some hard-earned money to 500 marginal farmers to help them in resuming their farming activities with more confidence.

In the CSR agriculture and welfare of farmers scheme, a 20-litre automatic spray machine, 30kg of organic fertilizer and manure and essential medicines have been provided to each farmer. For marginal farmers, these resources will aid to reduce manual labour, lower some cultivation costs and improve crop and soil management.

Inaugurated by Honourable Shri Ram Kripal Yadav, Minister of Co-operative, Government of Bihar, the launch of this initiative is a significant step in supporting the livelihoods of farmers and strengthening rural communitie

When resources are scarce farmers rely on technology that can help them. An automatic spray machine can ease the physical work on protecting crops and healthy manure and organic fertilizer can improve crop yield and soil fertility. Prompt and efficient support can also boost the self-confidence of farmers encountering challenges from rain and cultivation.

Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Braja Kishore Pradhan, CEO & Founder of Aahwahan Foundation, said, “For marginal farmers, an uncertain farming season can create challenges that extend beyond the field and affect the entire family. Our effort is to provide practical support that can help farmers manage some of these difficulties and continue their livelihoods. The resources being provided are intended to address everyday farming needs while encouraging more sustainable practices. We are thankful to NephroPlus for supporting this initiative and helping us reach 500 farmers.”

The initiative highlights the importance of grassroots interventions in supporting rural livelihoods. By providing practical agricultural resources, the programme aims to help farmers manage immediate challenges while encouraging sustainable farming practices.

Through this effort, Aahwahan Foundation and NephroPlus seek to contribute to stronger rural livelihoods and more resilient farming communities, where farmers have the resources and support needed to continue building a secure future for their families.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 6: NoBroker, India’s leading proptech company, is raising the bar for one of its most significant categories: home painting services. Already an established premium provider in the segment, NoBroker is now elevating the very standard of what premium painting means in India, deepening its investment in design expertise, craftsmanship, and service reliability to deliver an experience that goes well beyond conventional expectations. This evolution reflects a broader shift in consumer expectations, where quality, personalisation, and reliability have become the true differentiators in house painting.

Elevating an Already Premium Standard

For years, homeowners seeking premium painting solutions have had limited means of distinguishing genuine craftsmanship from mere marketing claims. NoBroker’s leadership recognised that offering a premium service was no longer sufficient in itself; the definition of “premium” needed to be continuously raised to stay ahead of evolving homeowner expectations. As design consciousness grows and customers become more discerning, the demand for home painting services that combine expert craftsmanship with superior finishes has never been higher.

In response, NoBroker has strengthened its painting vertical with an enhanced premium proposition: expert consultation, an expanded range of designer-grade colour options, and professional execution delivered by rigorously trained specialists. The result is a service that customers searching for the best painting services can trust to elevate their homes, not merely repaint them.

Expert Consultation and Unmatched Design Choice

At the outset of every project, NoBroker offers a dedicated expert consultation, ensuring that each homeowner’s vision is translated into a practical, design-led execution plan. This consultative approach sets NoBroker apart from conventional painting vendors, who typically offer limited colour options and little design guidance.

Customers availing NoBroker’s home painting services gain access to an expansive palette of over 2,200 shades and more than 1,000 texture ideas, allowing for a level of customisation rarely available through independent contractors or unorganised local providers. Whether homeowners are seeking classic finishes or contemporary textured designs, NoBroker’s design-first approach ensures every space reflects the aspirations of those who live in it; a key reason the brand is increasingly recommended to those searching for painting services near me who want more than a standard coat of paint.

Skilled Painting Partners, Rigorously Trained

Central to NoBroker’s efforts to raise the standard of premium painting is its investment in workforce quality. Every painting partner engaged through NoBroker undergoes more than 300 hours of structured training, covering surface preparation, application techniques, finishing standards, and customer service protocols. This depth of training ensures a level of consistency and craftsmanship that distinguishes NoBroker’s home painting services from the informal, inconsistent standards typically associated with the wider market.

This emphasis on skilled execution is paired with the exclusive use of premium paints sourced from trusted, established brands, ensuring superior coverage, durability, and finish quality. Together, these elements reinforce NoBroker’s claim to being among the providers of the best painting services for homeowners unwilling to compromise on quality.

Quality Service, Guaranteed

NoBroker backs its premium offering with a Quality Service Guarantee, offering customers assurance at every stage of their house painting project. Multi-point quality checks are conducted throughout execution, from surface treatment to final finishing, ensuring that outcomes consistently meet the elevated standards the brand continues to build upon.

This guarantee directly addresses one of the most persistent frustrations in the category: inconsistent or substandard results from unverified painters. By formalising its quality commitments, NoBroker is actively strengthening brand sentiment among customers who value dependable, high-quality outcomes for every project.

On-Time Completion, Without Exception

Alongside quality, punctuality remains a cornerstone of NoBroker’s premium service standard. Recognising those delays and missed deadlines that continue to plague house painting projects industry-wide, NoBroker has implemented structured project timelines, dedicated coordinators, and transparent progress tracking to guarantee on-time completion.

For customers researching painting services near me, this reliability offers a compelling reason to choose NoBroker over unorganised alternatives, where scheduling uncertainty is often the norm rather than the exception.

Transparent Pricing Meets Premium Value

Even as it elevates its service standards, NoBroker remains committed to transparent, upfront pricing an assurance that stands in contrast to the often opaque quotations common in the industry. Customers currently benefit from a flat 15% discount on home painting services, allowing them to access premium craftsmanship, designer shades, and trained professionals at genuinely competitive value.

This combination of elevated quality standards and pricing transparency is central to NoBroker’s broader objective: to be recognised as the smartest and most trustworthy choice for discerning homeowners, not merely a premium one.

Building on a Premium Reputation, One Project at a Time

NoBroker’s continued investment in quality is already reflected in growing customer testimonials that highlight design expertise, workmanship quality, and dependable timelines. As the brand continues to strengthen its presence across digital platforms and customer conversations, it is steadily raising how home painting services are perceived not as a commodity purchase, but as a considered investment in the home.

For homeowners evaluating house painting options or searching for the best painting services in their city, NoBroker continues to represent a distinctly premium choice: expert-led, quality-assured, and delivered on time, every time.

About NoBroker (Painting Services)

NoBroker is India’s leading proptech company, offering a comprehensive suite of services spanning real estate, home services, and financial solutions for property owners and tenants. With NoBroker Painting, the company continues to expand its ecosystem, bringing design expertise, craftsmanship, and reliability to one of the most transformative aspects of home improvement. Through this premium repositioning, NoBroker reaffirms its commitment to enhancing everyday living for Indian households, one home at a time.

For homeowners searching for the best painting services or a dependable painting services near me option, NoBroker Painting’s premium offering, featuring expert consultation, 2,200+ designer shades, and quality-assured workmanship, sets a new benchmark for professional home painting services across India.

New Delhi [India], August 11: Contemporary artist Nikita presents her solo exhibition, Alchemy of Colors, at the Main Art Gallery, Bikaner House, from 19 to 23 August 2026. The exhibition brings together a vibrant body of work that celebrates the transformative power of colour, inviting viewers to experience art as a language of emotion, hope, and human connection.

Known for her expressive palette and distinctive palette-knife technique, Nikita creates paintings that transcend representation, transforming colour into a powerful medium of storytelling. Her works draw inspiration from nature, travel, personal experiences, and the ever-changing rhythms of life, resulting in compositions that are layered with movement, texture, and depth. Each canvas becomes an exploration of memory, resilience, and the quiet beauty found in everyday moments.

Alchemy of Colors reflects the artist’s belief that colours possess the ability to heal, inspire, and transform. Through bold compositions and luminous surfaces, the exhibition encourages viewers to pause, reflect, and discover their own emotional narratives within the paintings. Rather than depicting reality, the works evoke feelings, creating immersive visual experiences that resonate long after one leaves the gallery.

Beyond its artistic vision, the exhibition is driven by a meaningful social purpose. Nikita has committed the proceeds from the exhibition towards the education and welfare of underprivileged girls, reinforcing her belief that art can be a powerful force for positive social change. Through this initiative, every artwork becomes not only an expression of creativity but also a contribution towards creating educational opportunities and empowering future generations.

Her works have been recognised on prestigious national and international platforms, including being featured in Forbes India – Hidden Talents. She has also been selected by the Bombay Art Society, while her artistic practice has received appreciation for its expressive language, vibrant colour palette, and evolving visual vocabulary.

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 11: Twenty-eight years ago, IMS Noida opened its doors with a modest campus and an ambitious idea: that education, done right, could shape not just careers but character. On August 8, that idea returned through the same gates in the form of 28 alumni who now lead companies, courtrooms, newsrooms, and creative studios across India and beyond. The institute marked the occasion with the IMS & DIA Alumni Leadership Honours 2026, a landmark evening themed “28 Years, 28 Leaders,” bringing together CXOs, entrepreneurs, legal luminaries, media professionals, and design innovators – all of whom trace their journeys back to a single campus in Noida.

The evening was more than a felicitation ceremony; it was a homecoming. Alumni spanning the institute’s earliest batches from the early 2000s to graduates as recent as 2025 shared the same stage, forming a living timeline of what the institute has quietly built over nearly three decades.

“We didn’t set out to build just an institution; we set out to build people who could go anywhere and lead. Every one of our alumni carries a piece of that vision forward, and this evening was our way of saying: you were the point all along,” said Rajeev Kumar Gupta, President, IMS Noida.

A Legacy Written by Its Own Graduates

Among those who returned was Piyush Gaur (BALLB, 2004–09), one of the institute’s earliest law graduates, who now serves as Senior Counsel at the Central Administrative Tribunal, New Delhi – a marker of how far the very first cohorts have travelled. From the same law program, Gaurav Mishra (2008–13) now serves as Central Government Standing Counsel at the Ministry of Law & Justice, while his batchmate Tarun Khanna runs his own practice as Founder & Managing Partner of Lex Lawgical.

The institute’s PGDM and MBA cohorts were represented by alumni including Ranjeet Kumar (2009–11), now Assistant Vice President – HR at AU Small Finance Bank, and Narendra Kumar Mishra, from the same batch, now Senior Advisor for Government Affairs at Caterpillar Inc., proving that the institute’s early management graduates have gone on to shape both Indian and global organizations.

Journalism and media found their voice through alumni such as Abhinav Gupta (BJMC, 2010–13), now News Editor at Moneycontrol, and Pradeep Tiwari (2010–12), News Editor at Nav Bharat Times – two names now familiar to millions of readers, both first trained to ask questions on this very campus.

Also present was Dr. Yogendra Singh (MBA, 1999–2001), whose journey reflects just how deep the institute’s ties to its alumni run. He currently serves as Managing Director of Singari Industries Ltd. and President of the National Management Association (NMA) and previously served as Professor & Head at JSS Academy of Technical Education, Noida. Today, he also holds the position of President of the IMS Noida Alumni Association – the very body that helped bring this evening’s gathering of leaders together.

Representing the newest chapter of this story was Amit Kumar Tiwari (BBA, 2022–25), among the most recent graduates on the list, who now runs his own venture, Shree Mahadev Traders – a reminder that the spirit of the founding vision is very much alive in the institute’s youngest alumni too.

These were only a handful of the 28 leaders honoured that evening – individuals who studied law, management, journalism, design, and technology on the same campus, and who now sit at the helm of banks, courts, newsrooms, global manufacturers, and their own enterprises.

A Celebration Built Around Its People

The evening opened with a Saraswati Vandana and lamp-lighting ceremony, followed by addresses from Rajeev Kumar Gupta (President) and Chirag Gupta (Vice President), along with messages from the institute’s Advisor and Dean. Each honoured alumnus was felicitated with a memento, a photo frame, and a certificate of recognition, followed by a cultural program, high tea, and dinner. Video stories captured from the alumni themselves were woven into the evening, turning individual journeys into a single, shared narrative of the institute’s history.

Looking Ahead

For an institute marking 28 years, the decision to celebrate through its alumni rather than through buildings or numbers was a deliberate one. It reflects a belief that has guided IMS Noida since its founding: that an institution’s truest legacy is not what it builds, but who it sends into the world. As IMS Noida and IMS DIA look toward their next chapter of growth, the evening stood as both a tribute to the alumni who came before and a promise to the students walking the same corridors today that this campus will keep producing leaders for decades to come.

About IMS Noida & IMS DIA

IMS Noida and IMS Design & Innovation Academy (IMS DIA) are constituent institutions of the Unison Education and Research Foundation, offering programmes across management, law, journalism, computer applications, and design. For 28 years, the institute has built its reputation on the achievements of its alumni across industries in India and abroad.

New Delhi [India], August 11: When you inquire about a property online, your phone may start ringing within minutes. Before you even have a chance to compare neighbourhoods or discuss your budget with family, you may be told that inventory is running low and that the opportunity to book could close at any moment. Follow-up calls, limited-time offers, claims of rapidly disappearing inventory, unverified recommendations and inconsistent pricing across platforms have become common experiences in today’s residential real estate market. Genuine opportunities do exist, but buyers increasingly want the confidence to tell the difference between informed advice and undue pressure.

As buyers become more research-driven in their decision-making, their expectations of property advisors have evolved. They no longer want someone who simply presents listings; they want an advisor who understands their needs, explains the rationale behind property recommendations, provides access to reliable information, and remains accountable throughout the buying journey. This shift has made transparent, hands-on support a defining part of the modern home-buying experience.

Transparency Matters More Than Persuasion

A clearly explained rationale should support every property recommendation. Buyers should understand why a property has been shortlisted, how it compares with similar alternatives, and what criteria were used in making that recommendation.

Buyers naturally become sceptical when they are encouraged to make quick decisions without understanding why one property has been recommended over another, or whether comparable alternatives were considered. The most effective buying experience is one where recommendations are backed by evidence rather than urgency; where buyers feel comfortable asking why a property has been shortlisted, how it compares with similar options, what assumptions have gone into the pricing, and whether other projects meet the same requirements.

A transparent advisory process weighs factors such as budget, location preferences, connectivity, unit configuration, lifestyle requirements, possession timelines, and future goals before recommending a property. When buyers understand the rationale behind every recommendation, they remain in control of the decision instead of feeling persuaded into one.

Discover verified flats, villas, plots, independent houses, and commercial spaces for sale. Compare listings, check price trends, and find the right property that fits your budget and lifestyle. 

Why Dedicated Relationship Managers Make a Difference?

Buying a home is rarely a straightforward process. It involves multiple stages: property discovery, site visits, pricing discussions, documentation, financing, registration, and follow-ups. When different people handle each stage, buyers often find themselves repeating information and are unsure of who to turn to for help.

Square Yards’ relationship managers are designed to simplify this experience. Rather than functioning as salespeople, they act as the buyer’s single point of contact throughout the transaction, starting by understanding the buyer’s priorities and preferences, then identifying suitable options aligned with needs such as budget, connectivity and future appreciation potential.

The relationship manager coordinates site visits, pricing discussions and documentation tracking, keeping communication at a pace that’s comfortable for the buyer. They stay accountable throughout the journey, working alongside legal, finance and valuation specialists to navigate what can otherwise be a fragmented process.

“Buying a home has become far more information-intensive than it was a few years ago. Buyers aren’t just looking for listings anymore. They want context. They want to understand why a property is being recommended, whether the pricing is reasonable, and what checks have been carried out before they commit. Our role is to make that process more transparent by bringing together advisory, legal support and market insights in a coordinated way. Ultimately, the decision always rests with the buyer, but we believe better information leads to better decisions.” 

– Tanuj Shori, Founder and CEO, Square Yards.

Legal and Documentation Support Beyond Property Discovery

Finding a suitable property for sale is only one part of purchasing a home. Understanding the legal and documentation process before making a financial commitment is equally important, and Square Yards extends its support to help buyers navigate these stages of the transaction.

Depending on the transaction and service scope, this support may include document review, title search, litigation search, due diligence, RERA verification, and registration coordination. Document review involves examining the available property and transaction documents shared during the buying process. A title search reviews ownership history and title-related records, while a litigation search examines publicly available records relating to legal disputes involving the property or relevant parties. Due diligence combines title information, mortgage records, available documentation and compliance checks to give buyers a more structured understanding of a property’s legal position before they proceed.

Square Yards also helps buyers verify project and agent details through the applicable State RERA portal, and coordinates documentation required for registration wherever such services are available. It’s worth understanding what RERA does and doesn’t cover: while it strengthens transparency and regulates registered projects and agents, registration itself does not guarantee ownership title, construction quality or project delivery. Buyers are encouraged to document carefully and seek independent legal advice wherever necessary before making a financial commitment.

Pricing Transparency Helps Buyers Make Better Decisions

Property pricing can often confuse buyers, since the same property may carry different quotes across channels. Rather than relying solely on these quotes, buyers should compare registered transaction data, similar properties, unit size, floor level, orientation, construction stage, payment plans, statutory charges, and additional costs such as maintenance fees and parking.

A designated relationship manager supports this process through PropsAMC, Square Yards’ in-house valuation and market-data tool, which offers preliminary property valuations based on comparable transactions. These estimates provide pricing context rather than a definitive market value. By combining clear cost sheets with market comparisons, buyers can evaluate prices more objectively and make decisions based on evidence rather than guesswork.

What Buyers can Expect at Every Stage of the Journey?

A well-structured home-buying experience relies on clarity, accountability and informed decision-making. The process begins with understanding the buyer’s needs, leading to a shortlist of properties with clear explanations. The relationship manager coordinates site visits, facilitates discussions, and keeps track of buyer questions and commitments.

During price evaluation, buyers receive guidance on cost sheets and market comparisons. If they proceed, legal specialists review documentation while finance and registration teams manage procedural steps, with the relationship manager ensuring transparency throughout. Support continues through registration and possession, with buyers responsible for reviewing documents, asking questions and making final decisions.

Building Confidence Through Process, Not Promises

Trust in real estate isn’t built through persuasive conversations or ambitious promises. It’s built when buyers understand why a property has been recommended, how its price has been evaluated, what legal checks have been completed, and who remains accountable throughout the journey.

As an integrated property advisory platform, Square Yards brings together dedicated relationship managers, legal and documentation support, pricing transparency and specialist coordination to help buyers navigate the complexities of purchasing a home with greater confidence. Rather than promising certainty or eliminating every risk associated with a property transaction, the objective is to create a buying experience that is transparent, evidence-led and centred on the buyer’s needs.

In today’s property market, confidence comes from understanding the process. When buyers have access to the right information, structured guidance and a single accountable point of contact, they are better equipped to make informed decisions that stand the test of time.

At a time when interest in sustainable travel and environmental awareness is steadily growing, the book offers readers an authentic account of life in the wild and the enduring connection between people and nature.

Drawing on expeditions across the forests of Karnataka and Kerala and the mountain landscapes of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, Tents and Trails – Wild Camping Chronicles documents real encounters with wildlife, including elephants, tigers, wolves, and cobras. Rather than presenting dramatic fiction, the book focuses on genuine experiences that reveal the beauty, unpredictability, and challenges of India’s natural landscapes.

From setting up camp beneath star-filled skies to understanding animal behavior and adapting to changing terrain, the stories highlight the practical realities of exploring remote environments while respecting the ecosystems that sustain them.

Inspired by noted naturalists and wildlife storytellers, the book also underscores the importance of conservation in an increasingly technology-driven world. By sharing authentic accounts from India’s forests, Tents and Trails – Wild Camping Chronicles seeks to inspire greater awareness of the country’s rich natural heritage and encourage responsible engagement with the outdoors.

Written in a clear and descriptive style, the book will appeal to readers interested in wildlife, outdoor adventure, trekking, camping, and nature writing.

Focus on Experiential Learning, Innovation and Industry Readiness

Jais [Amethi], August 10: Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT), an Institution of National Importance established under an Act of Parliament, organised its Orientation Programme 2026 at the Jais Campus on Saturday. Prof. Harish Hirani, Director, RGIPT, emphasised that contemporary technical education must move beyond conventional classroom teaching, examinations and grades. In an era when information and Artificial Intelligence tools are readily accessible, students must develop creativity, curiosity, independent thinking, problem-solving skills and the ability to apply knowledge to real-world challenges.

Highlighting RGIPT’s evolving academic model, Prof. Hirani said that the Institute is placing strong emphasis on experiential learning and industry exposure. Students are being encouraged to complement classroom education with internships, industrial training and practical problem-solving. Dedicated Training and Placement Officers have also been engaged to facilitate stronger interaction between students and industry. A major initiative highlighted during the programme was RGIPT’s strengthened mentorship ecosystem. Faculty members have been assigned groups of students to serve as mentors and local guardians, ensuring regular academic and personal interaction. The Institute is also introducing industry mentorship, connecting students with experienced professionals from leading organisations and public sector undertakings (PSUs), so that students receive first-hand guidance on career opportunities, emerging technologies and industry expectations.

Innovation and entrepreneurship are another important component of RGIPT’s academic transformation. Students are being encouraged to identify real-life problems and develop solutions through Design and Innovation projects. Promising ideas receive institutional financial support and may subsequently progress through pre-incubation and incubation, creating a pathway from student ideas to prototypes, patents and start-ups. Undergraduate students are also encouraged and supported to undertake research, publish quality research work and pursue patents. Prof. Hirani also highlighted RGIPT’s expanding focus beyond conventional petroleum studies towards the broader energy-transition ecosystem, encompassing areas such as green hydrogen, biogas, renewable energy, waste-to-energy, biorefineries, carbon management, Artificial Intelligence and sustainable technologies.

The Institute’s campus itself is progressively being developed as a “Living Lab”, enabling students to learn from operational systems involving biogas, waste management, water treatment and reuse, renewable energy and sustainability. RGIPT’s campus biogas initiative has witnessed significant improvement through research and process optimisation, with gas generated from campus waste being utilised for cooking in the Institute mess. The Institute is also promoting interdisciplinary learning, allowing students to explore areas beyond traditional departmental boundaries and combine engineering, computing, electronics, energy and sustainability to address real-world problems.

Welcoming the new students, Prof. Hirani encouraged them to remain open-minded, question established approaches and make full use of the Institute’s faculty expertise, industry linkages, research facilities and innovation ecosystem. The Orientation Programme reflected RGIPT’s vision of preparing students not merely for existing jobs, but for a rapidly changing future—by integrating knowledge with experience, education with industry, research with application, and ideas with innovation

Surat (Gujarat) [India], August 10: At a time when conversations around Generation Z are often dominated by social media trends and digital culture, the achievements of young Indians in specialised fields continue to present another narrative. One such story is that of 22-year-old Vanya Bhatt from Surat, who has secured admission to the Global Music Master’s programme at Finland’s Sibelius Academy, one of the world’s leading institutions for music education.

According to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025, Sibelius Academy is ranked 9th in the world for Music and 14th globally for Performing Arts. Part of the University of the Arts Helsinki, the academy is internationally known for its rigorous audition process and attracts aspiring musicians from across the world.

For a student from Surat—a city known internationally for its diamond and textile industries rather than higher music education—earning admission to Finland’s premier music academy is a rare achievement.

Vanya’s journey mirrors the dilemma faced by many Indian students interested in the performing arts. Although she had learnt Indian classical music during childhood, she was uncertain whether music could become a full-time profession. Like many students, she questioned whether passion could translate into a sustainable career.

She later joined CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bengaluru, to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Western Classical Vocal Music. During her undergraduate studies, she was selected to play Eliza Doolittle, the lead character in the internationally acclaimed musical My Fair Lady. The production received a standing ovation from the audience, an experience that strengthened her confidence to pursue music professionally.

Following her graduation, she auditioned for Finland’s Sibelius Academy and secured admission to its Global Music Master’s programme.

Vanya says she now hopes to combine her foundation in Indian classical music with Western classical and global musical traditions to create original music that has Indian roots while appealing to international audiences.

Rajiv Soni, one of South East Asia’s leading student immigration consultants who has guided thousands of students to universities abroad, including Finland, described the admission as an uncommon achievement.”In my entire career of guiding students to Finland and other international destinations, this is the first time I have seen a Gujarati girl secure admission to Finland’s Sibelius Academy. It is a remarkable milestone,” Soni said.

According to Soni, students from Gujarat have increasingly chosen Finland for higher education over the past decade, primarily in engineering, information technology, business and healthcare. Admissions to globally recognised music academies, however, remain rare because of the specialised training required and the highly competitive selection process.

Vanya’s admission reflects the growing willingness among Indian students to explore specialised careers beyond conventional professional courses. It also highlights the increasing presence of Indian talent in global institutions dedicated to the performing arts.

She is expected to begin her studies in Helsinki later this year, where she plans to explore musical traditions from different cultures while developing original compositions rooted in India’s musical heritage.

Anlon Healthcare Ltd, a Rajkot-based manufacturer of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates, joined as secondary sponsor of the team’s National Finals campaign.

Team Statement

SFO Tech Powers Kochi’s Entry into High-End AI Hardware

Kochi (Kerala) [India], August 10: SFO Technologies, the flagship electronics arm of the NeST Group, has partnered with US-based Smart IOPS to produce specialized AI data storage hardware at its Kochi facility, marking a major step forward for local high-tech manufacturing.

Through the tie-up, SFO has integrated Smart IOPS’ proprietary ‘TruRandom’ controller technology into its production lines. The move allows SFO to build high-performance Solid State Drives (SSDs)—the fast, reliable storage components needed to run heavy Artificial Intelligence workloads, data centers, and supercomputers.

While India’s electronics industry has grown through device assembly, making AI-grade hardware requires far greater precision, complex circuit design, and intense thermal control. SFO’s local manufacturing of these drives signals a shift toward producing critical computing tech right from Kochi.

“We are proud to partner with Smart IOPS in bringing advanced storage technology manufacturing to India, aligning with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative,” said Dr. N. Jehangir, Chairman and Managing Director of NeST Group. “This achievement reflects SFO Technologies’ commitment to pioneering advanced design and manufacturing, while supporting India’s emergence as a trusted global hub for AI infrastructure.”

Radhakrishnan Nair, co-founder of Smart IOPS, added that manufacturing the controller in Kochi shows India can now provide the reliable, high-precision supply chain essential for world-class AI computing.

The partnership strengthens India’s role in the global semiconductor ecosystem while giving international tech companies a dependable manufacturing base in Asia.
