Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 20: There are two kinds of cinematic resurrections: the ones that feel like destiny, and the ones that feel like a studio accountant whispering “we still own this IP, don’t we?”

Focker In-Law (2026), the rumored continuation of the wildly chaotic lineage born from Meet the Parents and immortalized through Meet the Fockers, seems to be confidently straddling both categories: with a smirk, a raised brow, and just enough self-awareness to make you question whether you’re laughing with it or at it.

And then, of course, there’s the casting headline that refuses to sit quietly: Ariana Grande stepping into a franchise anchored by Ben Stiller. Because if you’re going to revive a legacy, you might as well inject it with a pop-culture adrenaline shot.

Focker In-Law: A Legacy That Refuses to Behave

To understand why this “new” installment matters, one must revisit the original chaos. The Fockers saga wasn’t just a comedy; it was a masterclass in discomfort. The painfully polite Greg Focker navigating the intimidating world of his in-laws created a formula so effective it bordered on psychological warfare.

The franchise’s DNA is simple:

• Social anxiety wrapped in humor
• Family dynamics pushed to absurd extremes
• And a relentless commitment to making audiences cringe and laugh simultaneously

Now, Focker In-Law (2026) appears to expand that formula into a generational handoff. The premise, while still under wraps in official detail, leans heavily into the idea of the next generation meeting an even more unhinged set of in-laws. Because apparently, emotional trauma is hereditary.

Plot Whispers & Trailer Energy

The trailer making rounds (yes, the one you shared) suggests a tonal shift that’s both familiar and slightly… shinier. There’s an unmistakable modern polish: faster cuts, louder comedic beats, and a noticeable attempt to appeal to a younger demographic that may not have survived the original dinner-table interrogations.

From what can be inferred:

• Ben Stiller reprises his role, older, possibly wiser, but definitely not safer.
• Ariana Grande appears to play a central figure—likely the “in-law” catalyst—bringing a mix of charm and calculated chaos.
• The narrative seems to revolve around new relationships colliding with old dysfunction, proving that growth is optional, but embarrassment is inevitable.

There’s also a noticeable escalation in scale. Where the original films thrived on awkward silences and passive-aggressive dinners, this iteration hints at bigger set pieces, because nothing says “comedy evolution” like spending more money to make people uncomfortable.

Budget, Production & The Business of Nostalgia

While official figures remain unconfirmed, industry patterns suggest that legacy sequels of this scale often fall within the $60–100 million production range, excluding marketing. Add global promotional campaigns, and the total investment could easily climb well beyond that.

Which raises a deliciously cynical question:
Is Focker In-Law a creative continuation… or a financial safety net disguised as one?

Studios have been leaning heavily into nostalgia-driven projects, and for good reason:

• Built-in audience familiarity
• Reduced marketing risk
• High potential for cross-generational appeal

In simpler terms, it’s less “creative gamble” and more “calculated resurrection.”

The Ariana Grande Factor

Casting Ariana Grande is not accidental; it’s strategic. Her presence does three things instantly:

1. Pulls in a younger audience that may not even know what a “Focker” is
2. Injects social media virality into the film’s lifecycle
3. Adds a layer of unpredictability, because she’s not traditionally tied to this genre

And yet, this is where the skepticism creeps in.

Comedy rooted in awkward realism doesn’t always blend seamlessly with modern celebrity energy. The risk?
The film becomes less about situational humor and more about performative chaos.

Public Reaction: Applause, Eye Rolls, and Existential Questions

The internet, predictably, is divided.

The optimistic camp says:

• “Finally, a fun legacy sequel that doesn’t take itself seriously.”
• “Ben Stiller returning? Instant watch.”
• “Ariana Grande in a comedy? Unexpected, but intriguing.”

The skeptical side counters with:

• “Do we really need another sequel?”
• “This feels like nostalgia exploitation.”
• “Why does everything have to be rebooted?”

And then there’s the silent majority, the ones who will complain and still buy tickets. Because curiosity, much like bad decisions, is human nature.

Tone Shift: Sharper, Louder, Riskier

If the trailer is any indication, Focker In-Law isn’t just revisiting the past; it’s trying to outdo it.

The humor appears:

• Faster
• Slightly more exaggerated
• And noticeably less subtle

Which may or may not work in its favor.

The original films thrived on restraint, the kind of humor that builds slowly until it detonates. This new installment seems to prefer immediate impact, like a punchline that doesn’t trust your patience.

It’s not necessarily worse.
Just… louder.

PR Spin vs. Reality

From a PR perspective, the narrative is clear:

• “Beloved franchise returns”
• “Fresh energy meets classic comedy.”
• “A new chapter for a new generation”

But beneath that polished messaging lies a more honest truth:

This is a test.

A test of whether audiences still care.
A test of whether legacy can carry relevance.
And perhaps most importantly, a test of whether awkward family dinners are still funny in a world that has become significantly less patient with discomfort.

Why It Might Actually Work

Despite the cynicism (earned, by the way), there are genuine reasons this film could succeed:

• The Fockers formula is timeless; family dysfunction never goes out of style
• Ben Stiller still embodies the essence of Greg Focker
• The addition of new cast members introduces fresh dynamics rather than mere repetition

And let’s be honest, there’s something oddly comforting about watching fictional people suffer through social disasters worse than your own.

Why It Might… Not

On the other hand:

• Legacy fatigue is real
• Humor has evolved, and not always in ways that favor older formats
• The balance between nostalgia and innovation is notoriously difficult to achieve

One wrong tonal decision, and the film risks becoming a parody of itself.

Final Verdict (Before the Verdict Exists)

Focker In-Law (2026) stands at a peculiar crossroads: part revival, part reinvention, part calculated gamble.

It’s trying to be:

• Familiar, but not outdated
• Fresh, but not unrecognizable
• Profitable, but still artistically defensible

Will it succeed?
That depends on whether audiences are in the mood to revisit chaos… or finally outgrow it.

Either way, one thing is certain:
The Fockers are back.

And subtlety, much like dignity in this franchise, remains entirely optional.

Organised by the Surat East Builders Association, the three-day event is being positioned as a “Maha Kumbh” of property, bringing together leading developers and investors on a single platform.

• Over 40 developers and 180+ projects under one roof to boost growth in East Surat
• Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha to inaugurate the expo; more than 2 lakh visitors expected over three days

The expo will be inaugurated at 12:30 pm on April 24 by Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Cabinet Minister in the Government of Maharashtra. According to organisers, the event is not merely a property exhibition but a strategic platform designed to integrate the entire real estate ecosystem.

More than 40 prominent real estate groups are participating in the expo, alongside over 179 premium exhibitors showcasing over 180 residential and commercial projects. The expo will take place in a 1 lakh sq. ft. air-conditioned dome and is expected to attract over 2 lakh visitors.

Leading developers, including Gopin Developers, Anthem Corporation, J. Eklera, Anant Group, Green Group, Devam Group, and MK Group, will present a wide range of offerings, from affordable housing to premium properties and investment opportunities.

With major infrastructure projects including metro connectivity, expressways, and the Outer Ring Road, the region is emerging as a hotspot for investors. The expo is expected to enhance visibility for East Surat, strengthen investor confidence, and boost ongoing developments.

Simplifying Decision-Making For Buyers

A key highlight of the expo is the ease it offers to homebuyers and investors. Participants will have access to a wide range of property options under one roof, along with legal and financial guidance, enabling informed investment decisions. Developers will also benefit from direct engagement with customers, promoting greater transparency and trust within the market.

A Special Event

HALO Property Expo 2026 is not just an exhibition, but represents a movement aimed at establishing East Surat as the city’s next growth engine. For homebuyers, investors, and real estate enthusiasts, the three-day event offers a unique opportunity to explore the future of urban development in Surat.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 21: Writer’s cramp, often dismissed as simple hand fatigue or stress, is a complex and often overlooked neurological disorder that can significantly impact an individual’s professional and personal life. Commonly affecting people who rely on repetitive fine motor skills such as writing, typing, or sketching, this condition is now recognized as a form of focal dystonia. Despite its prevalence among professionals, artists, and students, awareness remains limited, leading to delayed diagnosis and prolonged discomfort for many patients.

Dr. Gurneet Singh Sawhney, recognized as the Best Neurosurgeon in Mumbai, is actively raising awareness about writer’s cramp and its neurological origins through advanced treatment approaches and patient education. With a deep-rooted expertise in functional neurosurgery and movement disorders, Dr. Sawhney has been at the forefront of delivering innovative and minimally invasive solutions that restore normal function and improve patients’ quality of life.

Writer’s cramp typically presents as involuntary muscle contractions in the hand and forearm that occur specifically during writing or similar tasks. Patients often notice abnormal finger postures, excessive gripping of writing instruments, or a sudden inability to control hand movements. Over time, these symptoms can worsen, making even simple tasks increasingly difficult. What makes this condition particularly challenging is that it is task-specific, often leading individuals to ignore early symptoms until the condition significantly interferes with daily activities.

According to Dr. Sawhney, “Writer’s cramp is not a muscular issue but a neurological disorder caused by abnormal signaling in the brain’s motor circuits. The brain essentially loses its ability to coordinate precise hand movements. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to preventing progression and restoring functionality.” His approach emphasizes a thorough neurological evaluation to identify the root cause and tailor treatment accordingly.

At Neurolife Brain and Spine Clinic, patients receive comprehensive care that integrates advanced diagnostic tools with personalized treatment strategies. Dr. Sawhney specializes in functional neurosurgery techniques that address the underlying neural dysfunction. Treatment options include botulinum toxin injections to relax overactive muscles, oral medications to regulate neural activity, Vo Thalamotomy using Radiofrequency and MRgFUS (which is incision less brain surgery) and advanced procedures like deep brain stimulation (DBS) for severe or resistant cases. These interventions are designed to provide long-term relief while minimizing side effects and recovery time.

One compelling case involved a 42-year-old corporate professional who had been struggling with writer’s cramp for over five years. The condition had progressed to a point where even signing documents became a challenge. After a detailed assessment at Neurolife Brain and Spine Clinic, Dr. Sawhney implemented a customized treatment plan combining Vo Thalamotomy using Radiofrequency followed by Neurorehabilitation. Within months, the patient experienced a significant improvement in hand control and was able to resume normal activities, including writing, without discomfort. Such success stories underscore the importance of expert intervention and the effectiveness of modern neurological treatments.

The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment of complex neurological disorders. From neuro-navigation systems to advanced imaging and minimally invasive surgical tools, every aspect of care is designed to ensure safety, accuracy, and optimal outcomes. Dr. Sawhney’s training in Japan and his exposure to global best practices further enhance his ability to deliver world-class care to patients in India.

In addition to his clinical expertise, Dr. Sawhney is widely respected for his compassionate and approachable nature. His ability to communicate in multiple languages helps patients feel at ease, fostering trust and confidence throughout the treatment journey. He is also deeply involved in academic and research activities, contributing to national and international medical forums and mentoring aspiring neurosurgeons. His commitment to advancing the field of neurosurgery extends beyond the operating room, reflecting a holistic approach to healthcare.

Dr. Sawhney has been consistently recognized for his excellence and dedication to patient care. He has been honored with multiple awards and is Rated top by leading doctor discovery platforms like ClinicSpots and Practo, further solidifying his reputation as a trusted name in neurosurgery. His focus on innovation, precision, and patient well-being has positioned him among the most sought-after specialists in the country.

“Many patients suffer in silence, assuming that the writer’s cramp is untreatable or insignificant. However, with the right medical guidance and advanced therapies, we can achieve remarkable improvements. The key is to seek help early and not ignore the symptoms,” Dr. Sawhney adds, encouraging individuals to prioritize neurological health.

Writer’s cramp may be a hidden disorder, but it is far from untreatable. With advancements in neuroscience and minimally invasive techniques, patients today have access to highly effective solutions that can restore independence and improve quality of life. Awareness, timely diagnosis, and expert care are essential in managing this condition successfully.

For individuals experiencing symptoms of writer’s cramp or other neurological concerns, seeking specialized consultation can make a life-changing difference.

New Delhi [India], April 09: Every year on March 23, the world comes together to observe World Meteorological Day. At its core, the day is about something we all experience daily but rarely think deeply about: the weather, the climate, and the science that helps us understand both.

The date marks the establishment of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1950. Since then, this United Nations agency has led global cooperation in meteorology, climate science, and hydrology. From tracking storms to predicting long-term climate patterns, the WMO and its member countries work behind the scenes to generate the forecasts and warnings that shape everything from farming decisions to disaster preparedness.

This year’s theme, “Observing Today, Protecting Tomorrow,” gets to the heart of what meteorology really does. It’s about the link between what we measure now and what we can prevent later. Every data point collected (whether from a satellite, a radar, or a weather station) feeds into decisions that can reduce risk, save livelihoods, and in many cases, save lives. The idea is simple: the better we observe the present, the better prepared we are for what’s coming.

At a basic level, meteorology is the science of the atmosphere – studying temperature, humidity, wind patterns, and precipitation. But in today’s world, its significance goes far beyond daily forecasts. With the growing impacts of climate change, meteorological data has become essential for understanding shifting weather extremes – whether it’s more intense heatwaves, erratic monsoons, or increasingly severe cyclones.

In countries like India, where millions depend on seasonal rainfall for agriculture, meteorological services play a critical role in livelihoods. The timing and intensity of the monsoon can determine crop yields, water availability, and even food prices. Early warnings about extreme weather events – like cyclones along coastal regions or floods in river basins – can help authorities evacuate communities, safeguard infrastructure, and reduce loss of life.

This role is made tangible through the work of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), which transforms atmospheric science into a system of public protection. Established in 1875, IMD is one of the oldest scientific institutions in the country and among the most consequential. Its value lies not only in issuing forecasts, but in sustaining the national architecture that makes those forecasts possible: Doppler Weather Radars tracking severe weather in near real time across the country’s diverse geography, INSAT-3D and INSAT-3DR providing continuous updated satellite observations through the day, a dense network of automatic weather stations and automatic rain gauges feeding uninterrupted ground-level data, and upper-air observation systems and numerical weather prediction models helping forecasters detect atmospheric shifts before they develop into crises.

Together, these systems form an integrated observational backbone that operates around the clock, across seasons, and at a scale that few institutions anywhere in the world can match. In this sense, meteorology is not merely a scientific discipline or a technical service. It is public infrastructure, as essential in its own way as roads, power, and communications, because it gives society the ability to see risk before risk turns into damage.

What gives IMD’s work its deeper significance is that it increasingly bridges the gap between observation and consequence, between what the atmosphere is doing and what that means for people on the ground. It is no longer only about telling people what the weather will be; it is about helping them understand what the weather will do, and what they should do in response. IMD’s warning ecosystem now spans district-level forecasts and nowcast services, impact-based and sector-specific advisories, multilingual dissemination through websites, SMS and email alerts, CAP-based warning systems integrated with national emergency protocols, and widely used public-facing applications such as MAUSAM, Meghdoot, and DAMINI.

That matters because disaster resilience is not built only in the aftermath of a cyclone, flood, lightning strike, or heatwave. It is built in the hours and days before impact, when a warning is trusted, understood, and acted upon; when a farmer can adjust irrigation or delay a harvest, a fisher can stay ashore, a city administration can activate heat action plans, and a district authority can move from a posture of reaction to one of anticipation. The difference between a warning issued and a warning acted upon is institutional credibility, and that credibility is earned over decades of accuracy, consistency, and relevance.

Resilience is built through the quieter systems that work before disaster strikes: observation networks that never sleep, forecast models that run continuously, warning protocols refined through experience, communication channels that reach the last mile, and the institutional trust required to make science usable in everyday decisions. That is the larger role meteorology now plays in national life. It supports not just forecasting, but governance; not just awareness, but preparedness; not just scientific understanding, but the kind of public confidence that moves people to act on information rather than ignore it.

Beyond emergencies, meteorology also supports sectors like aviation, shipping, energy, and public health. From ensuring safe flights to predicting air quality levels, the reach of meteorological science is vast and deeply integrated into modern life.

Yet, despite its importance, gaps remain. Many parts of the world still lack robust weather monitoring infrastructure, limiting their ability to predict and respond to climate risks. World Meteorological Day serves as a reminder of the need for stronger global cooperation, better data sharing, and investment in scientific capacity – especially in developing regions.

The question is no longer whether weather and climate will impact our lives, but how prepared we are to deal with those impacts. This is where the true value of meteorology lies – not just in telling us whether to carry an umbrella, but in helping societies build resilience against an uncertain future.

World Meteorological Day, then, is not just about celebrating a scientific field. It is about recognizing a global system of knowledge and cooperation that protects lives, supports economies, and helps humanity navigate the complexities of a changing planet.

Grade 11 students from Jayshree Periwal International School, Kanishk Rungta, and Krishaa Rungta, have developed Veer Sahara App

Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], March 30: In an effort to bridge the gap between government welfare schemes and their intended beneficiaries, two Grade 11 students from Jayshree Periwal International School, Kanishk Rungta and Krishaa Rungta, have developed Veer Sahara—a digital platform designed to simplify access to government support for defence families.

The platform enables users to either fill out a simple step-by-step form or use an AI-assisted interface that verbally guides them through the process. Based on the information provided, Veer Sahara identifies relevant schemes and awards and provides direct application links. Available in both English and Hindi, the platform aims to ensure accessibility across diverse user groups.

By reducing complexity and minimizing reliance on intermediaries, Veer Sahara seeks to improve awareness, reduce delays, and enable timely access to benefits for ex-servicemen, widows, dependents, and families of martyrs.

Kanishk Rungta said, “We noticed that despite multiple government initiatives, many families struggle to access the benefits they are entitled to due to lack of awareness and procedural complexity. Veer Sahara is our attempt to simplify this journey and make support more accessible and transparent.”

Krishaa Rungta said, “This is not just about technology, but about ensuring dignity and ease for those who have given so much to the country.”

AI-enabled platform helps ex-servicemen, widows, and families of martyrs identify eligible benefits and apply seamlessly in English and Hindi

The curriculum also deepens analytical rigour and data-driven decision-making, enabling learners to apply cross-functional perspectives to complex business problems and translate insight into measurable outcomes.

As organisations recalibrate for rapid technology shifts, credible executive education increasingly anchors leadership readiness. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 notes that about two-thirds of companies operating in India expect to tap into more diverse talent pools to fill emerging roles, well above the global average and a significant share of organisations plan to move towards skills-based hiring. Bain & Company also highlights the scale of the AI talent challenge in India, projecting AI-related job openings to surpass 2.3 million by 2027, outpacing the expected talent pool and reinforcing the need for large-scale upskilling.

Speaking at the announcement of the new EMBA admission process, Prof. Abhishek Srivastava, Chairperson – Executive MBA Program, IIM Visakhapatnam, said, “The Executive MBA reflects IIM Visakhapatnam’s commitment to helping experienced professionals step into broader, enterprise-wide roles. We have designed the programme to combine rigorous fundamentals with contemporary perspectives on strategy, technology and sustainability. Through high-engagement online delivery and immersive campus modules, participants will sharpen judgement, strengthen leadership capability and learn to translate insights into practical impact.”

Sridhar Nagarajachar, Business Head – Executive Education, TimesPro said, “Mid-to-senior professionals need learning that respects their time yet raises the bar on capability. Together with IIM Visakhapatnam, we are enabling a rigorous Executive MBA experience that blends live, interactive classrooms with applied projects and campus immersions. The programme equips leaders to make data-led decisions, manage complex stakeholders and drive transformation decisively, capabilities organisations demand as technology rapidly reshapes work.”

Previous cohorts have attracted participants from core sectors including IT, banking, manufacturing, PSUs, real estate, marketing, EdTech, healthcare and telecommunications, reflecting a diverse mid-to-senior talent pool. The programme offers 740 hours of rigorous learning, structured across two years (six terms). The second year focuses on themes such as project management, business ethics and laws, alongside five electives across three terms and a capstone project. Electives span areas such as entrepreneurship, strategy, information systems, communications, production & operations management, HRM, economics, marketing, decision sciences, and finance & accounting, among others. 

The Executive Master of Business Administration blends lectures with real-life case studies, quizzes and assignments. It uses a state-of-the-art Interactive Learning (IL) platform and follows a Direct-to-Device (D2D) delivery model. Learners also attend two on-campus modules of five days each at IIM Visakhapatnam, creating structured opportunities to network, learn and collaborate with peers. On successful completion, graduates earn an Executive MBA degree and receive IIM Visakhapatnam Alumni status. 

The Institute admits candidates based on a composite score derived from the EMAT and a Personal Interview; candidates with valid CAT, GRE or GMAT scores may qualify for EMAT exemption. Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA (45% for NC-OBC and EWS categories, and 40% for SC, ST, and PwD categories). Applicants must also have a minimum of three years of full-time work experience at an officer/executive level or higher, as a professional or as an entrepreneur.

The last date for admissions is April 27, 2026

New Delhi [India], March 25: As families change, so do their needs. Kids grow up, parents start working from home, and older family members may require extra help. Your home should be able to adapt to these changes, but many homes can’t keep up.

This is where smart home technology comes in. It’s not just a fancy gadget anymore; it’s about creating a home that truly enhances your everyday life. With the right smart home system, your home adapts to your changing lifestyle. It learns your new routines when your teen heads off to college or adds safety features when elderly relatives move in. It can effortlessly switch from entertainment settings to a work-from-home environment.

A good home automation system in India isn’t limited to what you need today. Instead, it prepares your home for whatever the future brings.

Why Home Automation Simplifies Your Life

Imagine walking into a room where the lights turn on, the fan adjusts to your favorite setting, and you didn’t have to touch a single switch. That’s the beauty of home automation—it should be smooth and simple.

Here are four ways smart homes make life easier:

1) Easy Control: Manage your lights, fans, or appliances in the way that suits you best. Whether you prefer a switch, a voice command, a smartphone app, or a remote, there’s no wrong way to do it.

2) Energy Efficiency: Save energy effortlessly. You can set schedules for devices to turn off when not in use, eliminating the hassle of searching for the remote control left behind in another room.

3) One-Touch Ambiance: Create the perfect mood with a single button. Press “Movie Time” to dim the lights and close the curtains. Or hit “Good Night” to lock doors and turn off everything except your bedside lamp.

4)  Integrated Security: Your home’s security systems work together seamlessly. If a door opens unexpectedly, the lights flash, your phone receives an alert, and the system responds, keeping you safe and informed.

The Team Behind Innexia

INNEXIA is launched by industry automation expert INTECH, a leading worldwide automation expert in Port and Terminal Automation, Digital Supply Chain Automation, and Industrial Automation with more than 20 Years of experience.

Meet the people behind it.

Viren Sanghadia, the CEO, transformed INTECH from a specialized automation company into a global technology partner. He focuses on building reliable systems that can grow and work efficiently for many years.

His vision is simple: To make smart home technology accessible and affordable so more people can enjoy a comfortable and luxurious living experience.

When you buy an Innexia product, you’re investing in years of expertise and innovation, wrapped in a user-friendly package.

1) Proven Experience:  With 23 years of industrial automation behind them, Innexia brings tried and true solutions to your smart home.

2) Easy Installation:  The system is designed to fit into your current setup without messy wiring or renovations. It works with homes built long ago, keeping your existing switches while making them smarter.

3) Reliability: Even if your Wi-Fi goes down, your smart home will keep functioning. Your lights will still turn on, and your schedules won’t be interrupted.

4) One App for Everything:  Control all devices with just one user-friendly app—no need to juggle several applications for different brands.

5) Designed for Indian Homes:  The technology works seamlessly in homes with concrete walls, ensuring every corner stays connected.

A four-hour installation can transform your home in just one day. When you leave to run errands and return, you’ll walk into a smart home ready to serve you.

Conclusion

Choose Innexia for a home automation experience that’s truly effective—not just flashy gadgets that cause frustration.

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], March 17: The Institute of Engineering & Management (IEM) and the University of Engineering & Management (UEM), Kolkata, on Friday inaugurated the 12th edition of Innovación 2026, their flagship international techno-management festival, at the IEM Management House in Salt Lake’s Sector V. The two-day event  from 14 to 15 March 2026, has drawn students, researchers, innovators, startup enthusiasts and entrepreneurs from across India as well as several countries including the USA, UK, Australia and Canada, along with participants from premier institutions such as the IITs and NITs.

Over the years, Innovación has grown well beyond a conventional student festival. It has emerged as a global platform for innovation, entrepreneurship and technology-led problem solving, reflecting the strong startup-focused ecosystem nurtured by the IEM-UEM Group. This year’s edition features more than 35 competitive events, over 150 technology projects and more than 100 research posters across emerging domains including Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Embedded Systems, Data Science, Renewable Energy, Sustainable Technologies and Management Innovation.

At the centre of the festival is a high-intensity 36-hour hackathon where teams work round the clock to convert ideas into working prototypes addressing real-world challenges. The hackathon reflects the institution’s philosophy that innovation must move beyond theory and evolve into practical solutions with entrepreneurial potential.

One of the major highlights of Innovación 2026 is an autonomous Level-2 driverless car designed and developed entirely by students of IEM using artificial intelligence and computer vision. Created through multidisciplinary collaboration among engineering teams, the project marks a significant step towards indigenous autonomous mobility research within a university ecosystem.

Equally significant is a water desalinator system capable of converting sea water into potable drinking water. Designed with scalability and affordability in mind, the technology aims to address global water scarcity challenges, particularly in coastal and disaster-affected regions.

Another socially focused innovation showcased at the event is a low-cost electric wheelchair engineered to enhance mobility for differently-abled individuals while remaining affordable for wider adoption. Projects such as these underline the strong belief within the IEM-UEM ecosystem that technology must serve society while also opening pathways for startup incubation.

Several other student innovations attracted considerable attention from visitors, researchers and industry delegates. A Therma Compress Belt, a wearable therapeutic device combining heat and compression for lumbar pain and menstrual cramps, reflects the growing convergence of healthcare technology and wearable innovation. A 3D-printed AR/VR gyroscopic game controller introduces an immersive gaming interface that requires full-body movement, blending digital entertainment with physical fitness.

In the field of intelligent security systems, “Secura”, a web-based deep learning surveillance platform built on a 64-point facial recognition framework, demonstrates the application of artificial intelligence in advanced monitoring and security infrastructure.

Robotics innovations also featured prominently at the exhibition. An autonomous thermal-based disaster rescue robot equipped with thermal sensors and GPS has been designed to detect survivors trapped under debris during natural disasters. Meanwhile, AGNI, a modular unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with dual payload bays, has been developed for rapid medical delivery and aerial surveillance, highlighting the increasing importance of drone-based emergency response systems.

A gesture-controlled robot operated through wearable sensor-based hand gestures further showcased the possibilities of human-machine interaction, illustrating how intuitive control systems can redefine robotics applications.

Adding a moment of national recognition, students of UEM Kolkata recently secured both the first and second positions in the YuvAI – Global Youth Challenge at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, organised by the Government of India at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. Competing against more than 20,000 projects nationwide, the first-prize winning project “AGNISENA”, an AI-powered forest fire early detection system, received Rs. 15 lakh, while “VOX-AID”, a voice-based platform for early detection of dysarthria, was awarded Rs. 10 lakh.

The inaugural ceremony was attended by a distinguished panel of guests including Padma Shri Pandit Tarun Bhattacharya, recipient of the Padma Shri in 2026; Dr. Moumita Dutta, physicist and scientist-engineer at the Space Applications Centre (SAC), ISRO Ahmedabad; and Anupam Agrawal, Chair of the Digital Standards Coordination Committee at the Bureau of Indian Standards.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 16: KRAFTON India and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) today announced an exciting collaboration between BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA (BGMI) and the iconic IPL franchise as part of the upcoming BGMI 4.3 update, bringing the three-time champions directly into the game, going live on 25 March. The collaboration introduces exclusive Kolkata Knight Riders-themed gameplay content, collectables, and fan engagement experiences designed to bring the Knight Riders’ identity into the battleground.

What Players Get

• The update brings two exclusive Kolkata Knight Riders -branded items into the game: the Knight Dominion Set (outfit) and the Eden Charge Buggy (vehicle skin), letting players carry the spirit of the franchise into every match.

Kaza [India], March 16: Pie Matrix is now introducing Himachal Pradesh’s first high-altitude public dome observatory in the spectacular Spiti Valley. Nestled amidst the pristine, naturally dark skies of the Himalayan cold desert, this one-of-its kind facility is transforming the way travellers are experiencing the universe and bridging the gap between simply looking at the stars to truly exploring them.

Built at one of India’s most breathtaking dark-sky locations, the Pie Matrix Dome observatory offers visitors access to a fully equipped, rotating dome observatory structure. Usually available for reputed institutions and observatories, now, for the first time in the region, everyday travellers, students, photographers, and astronomy enthusiasts can enjoy a professional-grade stargazing experience at high altitude through the stunning dome.

A New Chapter

Since time immemorial, Spiti Valley has been celebrated for its raw landscapes, ancient monasteries, dramatic mountain passes, and rugged beauty. With this new initiative, the region is now stepping confidently into a new identity as India’s emerging astro-tourism hub.

Due to its minimal light pollution, high altitude, and exceptionally clear atmospheric conditions, Spiti offers some of the finest night-sky visibility in the country, and the Pie Matrix Dome Observatory capitalizes on these natural advantages, which enables visitors to witness extraordinary celestial details live.

Rather than passive sightseeing, Pie Matrix offers an immersive cosmic exploration, so any night in Spiti can turn into an unforgettable journey through the universe.

Making Space Accessible to All

Conventionally, dome observatories have been limited to academic research institutions, but Pie Matrix is changing that narrative by opening the doors of advanced astronomical observation to the public. Families on vacation with kids, travellers, adventure seekers, school groups, and even local residents can now add a guided night-sky session to their Spiti itinerary. High-powered telescopes, operated by trained astronomy experts, ensure that visitors don’t just see celestial objects; they understand the science and stories behind them.

A spokesperson from the Pie Matrix “Our vision is simple yet ambitious- to bring space closer to everyone. The night sky belongs to all of us, and through this observatory, we are giving people the chance to look through a professional telescope and experience the universe in a way that feels personal, inspiring, and memorable.”

Backing the Local Economy and Promoting Sustainable Tourism

Beyond its scientific and experiential appeal, the observatory has also immense capability to generate profound economic impact for the region. Astro-tourism is one of the fastest-growing segments globally, and Spiti’s natural conditions make it a brilliant destination.

A Vision Beyond Tourism

Along with immersive travel experiences, the long-term mission of the observatory extends far beyond tourism. The Pie Matrix Dome Observatory is envisioned as:

• A platform for school astronomy workshops
• A venue for astrophotography retreats
• A host location for night-sky festivals
• A future hub for dark-sky conservation awareness

With the skyrocketing cesspool of urban light pollution across Indian cities, many people have never witnessed a truly dark, unfiltered night sky. To provide an escapade from this issue, the high-altitude observatory provides rare access to that disappearing experience, while also encouraging awareness around preserving natural night environments.

India’s Window to the Cosmos

As India continues to make remarkable strides in space exploration and satellite missions, initiatives like this bridge scientific progress with public engagement. The Pie Matrix Observatory connects citizens emotionally with the cosmos, transforming curiosity into inspiration. In the silence of Spiti Valley, visitors are reminded of their place in a vast and awe-inspiring universe. Long known for its spiritual depth and meditative quiet, Spiti now offers something equally profound, i.e., a direct connection to the cosmos, powered by Pie Matrix.

New Delhi [India], March 13: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday used the platform of the NXT Conclave at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, to address the ripple effects of the ongoing Iran war and the resulting global energy crisis, saying the conflict has disrupted supply chains worldwide and affected every country to varying degrees.

Speaking at the summit, the Prime Minister outlined how India is navigating the turbulence in global energy markets while simultaneously pushing a long-term strategy of expanding domestic energy infrastructure and reducing dependence on foreign fuel supplies.

He said the government is in constant touch with world leaders and is working at multiple levels to manage disruptions caused by the war-driven energy shock.

“No country is untouched by the impact of this global crisis caused by war. To a greater or lesser extent, everyone is affected by this crisis,” the Prime Minister said, adding that India is making continuous efforts to overcome supply-chain disruptions and safeguard domestic energy availability.

PM Modi Unveils India’s Energy Strategy At NXT Conclave

Addressing the iTV Network’s NXT Conclave at Bharat Mandapam, the Prime Minister said India is pursuing a two-pronged strategy, expanding domestic energy infrastructure while pushing for self-reliance to reduce dependence on foreign sources.

PM Modi explained that the government’s energy policy is built around two key pillars: expanding infrastructure to improve energy access and strengthening domestic capabilities to reduce reliance on imports.

“First, to increase energy access in the country, we build infrastructure. Second, we do not have to rely solely on foreign sources for energy. For this, we emphasised self-reliance in the energy sector,” he said.

His remarks came against the backdrop of rising concerns around LPG supply, global war-driven energy disruptions, and economic uncertainty.

NXT Conclave 2026: PM Modi’s First Remarks On Global Energy Crisis Amid Iran War, Unveils India’s Energy Strategy – What PM Said About Resilient Economy, LPG Panic & Black Marketing

PM Modi On People Creating Panic Over LPG Availability

The Prime Minister addressed the ongoing debate around liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) availability, urging responsible public discourse during a period of global uncertainty. PM Modi also took aim at the Opposition, accusing political rivals of attempting to create unnecessary panic over LPG supply concerns at a time when global conflicts have already strained energy markets. He assured that the government is actively addressing supply-chain challenges.

“There’s a lot of discussion these days about LPG. Some people are trying to create panic and pursue their own agenda,” he said, without naming political parties.

PM Modi said he did not want to comment politically but warned that attempts to spread panic could harm the country during a sensitive period marked by global instability.

How India Has Strengthened Its Strategic Reserves, PM Modi Reveals At NXT Summit 2026

Highlighting capacity expansion in the petroleum sector, the Prime Minister said India has significantly strengthened its strategic reserves.

“Prior to 2014, India’s strategic petroleum reserves, crude oil stored for use during times of crisis, were minimal. Today, we have established over 50 lakh tonnes of strategic petroleum reserves,” he said.

He also noted a sharp rise in household LPG access and natural gas infrastructure.

LPG connections have increased from 14 crore in 2014 to over 33 crore today.

LNG terminals in the country have doubled during the same period.

Expansion Of Gas Infrastructure, Massive Investments By Modi Government

The Prime Minister said the government has made major investments in expanding the gas ecosystem across India.

He highlighted that the gas pipeline network has expanded from around 3,500 kilometres to 10,000 kilometres, significantly strengthening the supply chain. Import terminal capacity at major ports has also been increased to manage the 60% of LPG that India imports.

The expansion has been accompanied by wider urban gas coverage.

According to the Prime Minister:

Piped Natural Gas (PNG) connections have increased from 25–26 lakh households before 2014 to more than 1.25 crore today.

The number of CNG-powered vehicles has grown from under 10 lakh to more than 70 lakh.

He credited this progress to the City Gas Distribution network, which has been expanded across more than 600 districts over the past decade.

How Ethanol Blending Has Reduced India’s Oil Imports

PM Modi said India’s push for ethanol blending and biofuels is a key strategy to reduce petroleum dependence.

He noted that blending levels have increased from around 1–1.5% before 2014 to nearly 20% today.

According to the Prime Minister, the initiative has significantly reduced oil imports.

India has avoided purchasing 18 crore barrels of oil over the past 11 years.

The country currently reduces oil imports by about 4.5 crore barrels annually.

“The country has saved about ₹1.5 lakh crore from ethanol blending alone,” he said.

How India’s Renewable Energy Has Seen Rapid Growth, PM Modi Shares The Progress At NXT Summit 2026

The Prime Minister also highlighted progress in renewable energy and railway electrification, calling them key drivers of fuel savings and sustainability.

He noted that while only 20% of the railway network was electrified by 2014, nearly the entire broad-gauge network is now electrified.

This transition helped Indian Railways save around 180 crore litres of diesel in 2024–25, reducing the need for crude oil imports.

India’s renewable energy capacity has also seen rapid growth.

Total renewable capacity has crossed 250 gigawatts.

Solar power capacity has surged from 2 GW in 2014 to about 130 GW today.

The Prime Minister also highlighted the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, which has enabled 30 lakh families to install rooftop solar systems.

“Our total renewable capacity today has crossed the historic figure of 250 gigawatts and half of our installed power generation capacity now comes from renewable sources,” he said.

PM Modi On Bio-Gas And Strategic Petroleum Reserves

PM Modi said India is also expanding its waste-to-energy ecosystem through the GOBARdhan scheme.

More than 100 Compressed Bio-Gas plants are currently operational, with 600 more under development.

He added that India has also strengthened its refining and storage capabilities.

Strategic petroleum reserves now exceed 50 lakh tonnes.

Refining capacity has increased by more than 40 million tonnes over the past decade.

The Prime Minister said these structural changes will help India withstand the impact of global energy shocks.

“We will certainly be able to face the crisis created by this war and continue our work to make India self-reliant on a massive scale,” he said.

PM Modi Calls For Unity Amid Global Conflicts

The Prime Minister noted that the current global conflict near India’s region has triggered an energy crisis affecting countries worldwide.

He described the situation as a test of national resilience and called for collective responsibility from political parties, the media and industry.

Recalling the unified national response during the COVID-19 pandemic, PM Modi said similar cooperation is needed to tackle current challenges.

“We must make collective efforts and perform our duties by keeping the national interest supreme,” he said.

The Prime Minister cited the Russia-Ukraine conflict as an example of how the government has previously shielded citizens from global price shocks.

During the crisis, international fertiliser prices surged dramatically. Despite this, the government ensured farmers continued receiving a bag of urea at ₹300, even though the global price reached ₹3,000 per bag.

“This time too, our every possible effort will be to ensure that the war has the minimum possible impact on the lives of the country’s farmers and citizens,” he said.

PM Modi Calls States To Prevent Black Marketing Of LPG 

The Prime Minister also urged state governments to maintain strict vigilance against black marketing and misinformation around round LPG availability

Prime Minister said some people are spreading fear regarding LPG for their own agenda and that such behaviour exposes them before the public while damaging national interests.

He said authorities must closely monitor markets to prevent artificial shortages and price manipulation.

“It is essential that serious monitoring of the situation is conducted and strict action is taken against those engaging in black marketing,” he said.

‘Viksit Bharat’ Vision And India’s Global Role 

During his address at the NXT event, PM Modi also drew parallels between the historic Dandi March of 1930 and India’s modern-day development journey.

Marking the anniversary of the march, he said the freedom movement once united the country and the same spirit now drives the mission of building a “Viksit Bharat” (Developed India).

“Nearly 100 years after that historic journey, we Indians have set out on a new journey once again for a Viksit Bharat,” he said.

The Prime Minister also pointed to growing global confidence in India’s economic future.

He said leaders and experts across the world increasingly see India as a major driver of the emerging global order.

Citing international voices, PM Modi said Finland President Alexander Stubb recently noted that the direction of the world will increasingly be shaped by the Global South, while Canada’s Mark Carney has described India as the centre toward which global economic gravity will shift over the coming decades.

He also said French President Emmanuel Macron sees India as a crucial partner in solving global challenges.

“If you want to be part of the future, you must be associated with India and you must be in India,” the Prime Minister said.

‘Next Level’ India: Reforms And Digital Transformation

The Prime Minister said India has moved beyond incremental progress and is now entering what he described as a “next level” phase of development.

He highlighted the rapid expansion of digital payments through UPI, which has made India the global leader in real-time digital transactions.

“Today, India has become the country with the fastest real-time digital payments in the world,” he said.

PM Modi also pointed to several structural reforms and initiatives, including:

The abrogation of Article 370

Opening bank accounts for over 50 crore citizens through Jan Dhan

The law providing 33% reservation for women in legislatures

India has also launched major technology missions, including those focused on space exploration, semiconductors and quantum computing.

“Moon Mission, Semiconductor Mission and Quantum Mission are taking India toward the next frontier of technology,” he said.

Governance And Internal Security Gains 

The Prime Minister said the last decade has focused on inclusive governance, particularly targeting previously neglected regions.

Through initiatives such as the Aspirational District Programme and PM JANMAN, the government has expanded access to housing, healthcare and education in remote areas.

He also pointed to improvements in internal security.

According to PM Modi:

Districts affected by Maoist violence have fallen from more than 180 in 2013 to single digits today.

Over 2,100 Naxals have surrendered in the past year.

More than 300 hardcore militants have been neutralised

He said development has begun returning to previously conflict-affected regions.

PM Makes Cricket Analogy To Explain India’s Growth Momentum

Drawing a parallel with India’s passion for cricket, the Prime Minister said public interest in the country’s development has reached unprecedented levels. He remarked that just as citizens closely follow a T-20 World Cup score, people now seek a “running commentary” on India’s economic progress. According to him, this growing curiosity reflects the rising aspirations and confidence of Indians, which is strengthening global trust in the country’s future.

“When so many expectations are attached and the world is looking at our country, our responsibility increases significantly,” the Prime Minister said.

PM Modi On Confidence In India’s Future

Concluding his address, PM Modi expressed confidence that the collective strength of 140 crore Indians would help the country navigate global uncertainties.

Drawing comparisons to India’s response during the pandemic, he said the same unity and resilience will guide the country through the current crisis.

“In our every decision, the interest of the public will be paramount,” he said.

Reaffirming his commitment to the country’s long-term goals, the Prime Minister added, “India will become self-reliant in every sector and India will become developed in every circumstance.”

Former Fusion Finance Promoters Devesh Sachdev and Family Seek Reclassification to Public Shareholder Category

New Delhi [India], March 10: Honey Rose Investment Ltd. (an affiliate of Warburg Pincus), along with Creation Investments Fusion LLC and Creation Investments Fusion II LLC, will continue as promoters of Fusion Finance Ltd. The development comes following the request from the existing promoter, Mr. Devesh Sachdev and his family trust, to reclassify their status from ‘Promoter & Promoter Group’ to the ‘Public’ category.

In the stock exchange filings dated February 21 and February 27, Fusion Finance had said it has received requests from Mr. Devesh Sachdev, Mrs. Mini Sachdev, and M/s. Devesh Sachdev Family Trust to reclassify their status from the ‘Promoter & Promoter Group’ category shareholder to ‘Public’ category shareholder. The reclassification is subject to approval by the stock exchanges, followed by shareholders’ approval.

Reasons for the reclassification

The Board of Directors of Fusion Finance has approved the reclassification, as Mr. Devesh Sachdev & Family do not exercise any direct or indirect control over Fusion Finance and do not influence its management or policy decisions. Similarly, they don’t have any representation on the Company’s Board and don’t participate in any manner in the Company’s day-to-day activities. Additionally, certain special rights previously granted to Mr. Devesh Sachdev were terminated vide shareholder approval dated January 7, 2026, and the corresponding provisions in the Articles of Association have accordingly ceased to be in effect.

Accordingly, Honey Rose Investment Ltd. (Warburg Pincus), Creation Investments Fusion LLC, and Creation Investments Fusion II LLC remain as the promoters of the company, cumulatively holding more than 52% stake in the company.

Shareholders approved amendments to Fusion’s Articles of Association (AoA)

In January 2026, shareholders approved amendments to the Articles of Association, inter alia, removing special rights previously available to Mr. Devesh Sachdev, thereby aligning the governance framework with the Company’s current professionally managed structure. The proposed reclassification is a natural progression of the governance transition already effected, ensuring that shareholding classification accurately reflects Fusion Finance’s evolved management and control structure.

Focused on growth

Fusion Finance is focusing on its growth and expanding its business, with Mr Sanjay Garyali as its Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer. The company recently completed and raised Rs. 800 crore through a rights issue in April 2025 and Dec 2025, witnessing participation from existing institutional investors, including promoters Warburg Pincus & Creation Investments. As of December 2025, the company had assets under Management (AUM) of INR 6,876 crore, and a network of 1,537 branches spread across 22 states, including 3 Union Territories.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 06:  Actor Lucky Badgujar, known for his performances in Rahasya 2020 and the Hungama OTT project Emerald Green, is currently making headlines for a dramatic physical transformation that has left fans and industry insiders stunned. The actor has lost 31 kilograms in just four months, dropping from 113 kg to 82 kg, showcasing a remarkable level of discipline and dedication to his craft.

From 113kg to 82kg: A Journey of Discipline

113 kgs weight for Emerald Green look

Lucky Badgujar’s transformation began after completing his role in the OTT film Emerald Green. For that particular project, the actor had intentionally gained weight and reached 113 kilograms, as required by the director for the character.

However, his upcoming film projects demanded a much leaner appearance. Determined to adapt to his new roles, Lucky committed himself to a strict lifestyle that helped him shed 31 kilograms in just 120 days.

What makes this transformation particularly impressive is that he achieved it through a disciplined vegetarian diet and a consistent walking routine, without relying on shortcuts or extreme fitness methods.

Speaking about the experience, Lucky shared that seeing progress on the weighing scale became a major source of motivation during the process.

“When the scale shows progress, the dopamine rush is real,” Lucky said. “For an actor, the body is the first tool of expression. I am very serious about my career, and if a role demands transformation, I am ready to give my 200 percent.”

He added that while the journey was challenging, the struggle itself gave him satisfaction and motivation to keep pushing forward.

Focused on Fitness and Future Roles

After completing his weight-loss journey, Lucky has now taken the next step in his fitness routine. The actor has recently started gym training to further refine his physique and enhance his on-screen presence.

His goal is to achieve an even more sculpted and powerful look by December 2026, aligning with the physical requirements of his upcoming film projects.

In the entertainment industry, physical transformation often reflects an actor’s commitment to authenticity, and Lucky Badgujar’s dedication has already started generating conversations within film circles.

Major Projects in the Pipeline

Lucky Badgujar’s transformation comes at a time when his career is moving toward an exciting phase with multiple promising projects.

The actor is currently working under the direction of Bhavesh Patil, with projects being produced under the banner of Bhavesh Production.

Historical Film – Shaheed Shirish Kumar

One of the most anticipated projects in his lineup is the historical drama “Shaheed Shirish Kumar.” The film is based on the inspiring life of the legendary young freedom fighter Shirish Kumar, who became a symbol of courage during India’s independence movement.

While the story highlights the powerful youth movement led by Shirish Kumar, Lucky Badgujar plays a pivotal and influential character that adds depth to the narrative.

The film aims to bring attention to the sacrifices made by young revolutionaries who played an important role in India’s freedom struggle.

Upcoming Suspense Thriller

In addition to the historical project, Lucky is also working on a concept-driven suspense thriller with another prominent production house. The title and details of the project are currently being kept confidential.

According to sources close to the project, the film will showcase Lucky in a completely new and intense avatar, with his newly achieved 82 kg lean look playing an important role in the character’s presentation.

A Transformation That Inspires

Lucky Badgujar’s journey from 113 kg to 82 kg in just four months is more than a physical transformation—it is a reflection of determination, discipline, and passion for cinema.

In an industry where authenticity and dedication often define success, his commitment to reshaping his body for his roles highlights the seriousness with which he approaches his craft.

As fans eagerly await his upcoming projects, one thing is clear: Lucky Badgujar’s transformation is not just about fitness, but about an actor pushing his limits to deliver powerful performances on screen.

New Delhi [India], March 05: At Kissht, culture is not a poster on a wall or a slide in a town hall deck. It shows up in the way teams collaborate, the way leaders participate, and the way celebrations are designed to include more than just the people inside the office. This Holi, that culture came alive through a company-wide initiative titled Zindagi ke Rang, Kissht ke Sang.

The Kissht office was filled with colour in the days leading up to Holi. Teams across functions stepped away from dashboards and deadlines to celebrate together, sharing festive treats, music, laughter, and plenty of gulaal. It was the kind of energy that reflects the company’s youthful spirit and growth mindset.

What makes Kissht different is that the celebration did not stop at the office doors.

As part of the Holi initiative, employees visited the Child Vision Foundation to spend time with the children and contribute in meaningful ways. The team carried books, stationery, and snacks, along with encouragement and conversation. The visit was not treated as a ceremonial gesture. Employees engaged sincerely, interacting with the children and understanding their journeys. It was a reminder that festivals are ultimately about connection and inclusion.

Back at the office, a clothes donation drive was organised in partnership with Bombay Recycling Concern. Employees across departments participated enthusiastically, donating generously and encouraging others to contribute. What began as a simple internal drive quickly became a strong expression of collective responsibility.

The initiative reflected a belief that is often reinforced by the Kissht founders, that growth and gratitude must move together. From the early days of building the digital lending platform, the Kissht founders have emphasised ownership, speed, and empathy, not only towards customers but towards communities as well.

Much of Kissht’s workplace culture can be traced back to the philosophy of the Kissht founders. The Kissht founders have consistently advocated for a culture where impact extends beyond business metrics. Employees often speak about accessible leadership and the clarity of values. Whether it is open forums, cross-functional collaboration, or initiatives like this Holi campaign, the tone is set by the Kissht founders.

In internal conversations, the Kissht founders frequently underline that fintech is fundamentally about enabling aspiration. That philosophy informs how the organisation approaches community engagement. The same mindset that drives product innovation and customer experience also shapes social initiatives.

Kissht operates in a high performance, high growth sector. Targets are ambitious and the pace is demanding. Yet there is a conscious effort to create moments of perspective. Celebrations at Kissht are not simply calendar events. They are opportunities to reinforce shared values and strengthen bonds across teams.

The Kissht founders have long maintained that culture cannot be delegated. It must be demonstrated. Initiatives like Zindagi ke Rang, Kissht ke Sang show how that belief translates into action. Employees across technology, marketing, operations, collections, and product came together organically for the campaign. The participation reflected an environment where people feel invested beyond their immediate responsibilities.

As Kissht continues to scale, the Kissht founders remain focused on building a brand that balances ambition with responsibility. In a sector often defined by numbers, Kissht aims to build trust and empathy alongside growth. Community initiatives like the Holi NGO visit and the clothes drive with Bombay Recycling Concern are not treated as checkboxes. They are extensions of a broader philosophy shaped by the Kissht founders.

The Kissht founders often highlight that sustainable growth requires social alignment. In their view, financial inclusion is not only about access to credit. It is about enabling dignity and opportunity. That perspective naturally extends to how the organisation interacts with the wider community.

When employees returned from the NGO visit, many spoke about renewed perspective and a deeper sense of pride. The experience reinforced the idea that collective action can create meaningful change. It also reflected the kind of organisation the Kissht founders set out to build, one where ambition and empathy coexist.

As Kissht grows in scale and impact, initiatives like these ensure that culture evolves with intention. The Kissht founders have said that a company’s true character is revealed in the way it shares its success. This Holi, that character was visible in the office celebrations, in the community engagement, and in the collective effort to ensure that doing well and doing good move forward together.

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], March 05: From starting a business at the age of 17 to building an empire by 32 — and then renouncing everything to embrace Shiva’s path of meditation and selfless service.

This story is not merely of a saint, but of a young man who first lived the worldly life fully, and then renounced it to live for Shiva.

At the tender age of 17, a youth from an ordinary family stepped into the world of business. Through tireless effort, discipline, and farsighted vision, he built a vast business empire known as the Pranu Group by the age of just 32. Wealth, prestige, and resources were abundant. He possessed everything that society defines as success.

Yet, within him, a silent question arose:

“Is this the ultimate purpose of life?”

That single question turned his path from the world toward Shiva.

Renunciation of the World and Embrace of Shiva

After touching the heights of business success, he renounced everything—wealth, luxury, identity, and position.

He set out on the path of Shiva’s spiritual discipline.

Mountain caves, forest silence, and deep solitude became his way of life.

Many times, he observed continuous silence (Maun Vrat) for 41 days.

For years, he practiced intense meditation.

At times, he even renounced food and immersed himself completely in spiritual practice.

Today, that same youth is known to society as Prashant Maharaj Ji.

His life itself has become a single message:

“Service itself is Shivत्व (Divinity).”

Establishment of Shivshakti Anugrah Peeth

Prashant Maharaj Ji did not limit his spiritual journey to personal liberation alone.

He founded Shivshakti Anugrah Peeth with a clear conviction:

“The duty of a saint is not to take, but to give.

True spiritual practice is that which brings light into the lives of others.”

Today, this Peeth stands not only as a spiritual institution but also as a powerful center of social service.

Where Service is Worship

The activities of Shivshakti Anugrah Peeth are not confined to rituals and prayers.

Its mission is to reach the last and most needy person in society.

Major services conducted by the Peeth include:

• Regular free medical camps
• Daily food distribution through Annapurna Kitchen
• Cow service through Gaushala management
• Shelter arrangements for the helpless
• Bal Dham for children
• Jyeshthajan Vatsalya (old-age care centers) for the elderly
• Vidyapeeth for Sanskrit and Sanatan culture
• Mass marriage programs
• Self-employment support for women
• Bicycle distribution and rural development programs

Service with Dignity – A New Tradition

The most unique principle of Shivshakti Anugrah Peeth is that anyone who receives help does not feel inferior but respected.

Paperwork and formalities are kept simple so that no one experiences humiliation or hesitation.

The Peeth firmly believes:

“Service is complete only when compassion is accompanied by dignity.”

Modern Technology and Vision for the Future

To organize and expand its service activities, the Peeth has adopted digital systems.

Its future goal is:

To establish service centers in more than 108 villages, where education, healthcare, and employment opportunities will be made easily accessible.

Divine Message of Prashant Maharaj Ji

His thoughts are clearly reflected in his life:

“In true service, God’s grace is received automatically.”

“Service gives birth to compassion, and spiritual practice illuminates the soul.”

The Peeth’s resolve is:

“To erase social evils with the light of knowledge and re-establish Vedic Sanatan Dharma, where religion is not fear, but love and wisdom.”

One Life, Thousands of Lights

Business began at 17.

An empire was built by 32.

And then everything was renounced for Shiva’s path of meditation and service.

This journey is not of one individual alone, but of lighting lamps of hope in thousands of lives.

Today, someone received food.

Someone received treatment.

A child received an education.

And a village received a new direction.

Shivshakti Anugrah Peeth proves that:

True devotion is that which enters someone’s life as light.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 05: In a remarkable demonstration of advanced critical cardiac care, Dr. Vishal Khullar successfully deployed Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) to rescue a patient in severe cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening condition in which the heart is suddenly unable to pump adequate blood to sustain vital organs. The patient presented with critically low blood pressure, poor systemic perfusion, rising lactate levels, and signs of impending multi-organ dysfunction despite maximal medical therapy. Through rapid clinical assessment, decisive intervention, and meticulous intensive care management, Dr. Khullar and his team stabilized the patient during one of the most critical cardiovascular emergencies.

Widely regarded as a leading cardiac surgeon in Mumbai, India, Dr. Vishal Khullar is known for managing highly complex cardiovascular emergencies, including advanced cardiogenic shock, redo cardiac surgeries, complex aortic procedures, and mechanical circulatory support therapies. In this case, conventional pharmacological support and inotropes were insufficient to maintain circulation. Immediate initiation of VA-ECMO became the only viable lifesaving option to prevent irreversible organ damage and mortality.

Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a sophisticated mechanical circulatory support system that serves as a critical lifesaving intervention when conventional medical and surgical therapies have been exhausted. In this advanced procedure, blood is withdrawn from the body through cannulas placed in major veins, oxygenated and circulated by an external pump, and returned to the arterial system, effectively bypassing the compromised cardiac output and providing complete cardiopulmonary support. VA-ECMO is particularly indicated in patients with acute massive myocardial infarction, fulminant myocarditis, or other catastrophic cardiac events where the heart cannot generate sufficient output to sustain organ perfusion.

In this critical scenario, Dr. Khullar carefully evaluated vascular access strategy and executed a precisely planned cannulation technique to ensure optimal circulatory flow while minimizing procedural complications. Strict anticoagulation protocols were maintained to prevent clot formation within the ECMO circuit, and the patient was monitored round-the-clock in a specialized cardiac intensive care unit. Within hours of initiating ECMO, perfusion parameters improved significantly, metabolic acidosis began correcting, and organ function markers stabilized—clear indicators that systemic circulation had been successfully restored.

Beyond serving as a temporary stabilizing measure, VA-ECMO can function as a “bridge to transplant” in appropriate cases, providing hemodynamic support and organ perfusion while advanced cardiac decision-making takes place. The deployment of VA-ECMO requires expert patient selection, meticulous cannulation technique, vigilant anticoagulation management, and continuous multidisciplinary coordination. When expertly implemented, ECMO can salvage patients from the brink of death, preserve critical organ function, and create a vital window of opportunity for further definitive management.

Dr. Vishal Khullar is an expert Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeon practising in Mumbai. He is committed to providing exceptional care and achieving superior outcomes for his patients. He has successfully performed complex adult cardiac surgery, including redo surgeries, mechanical circulatory support procedures, and complex aortic reconstructions. Prior to returning to India, Dr. Khullar received advanced training at globally acclaimed institutions such as Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic, both internationally recognized for excellence in cardiovascular surgery and advanced cardiac critical care. During his international tenure, he was also a member of the Transplant Selection Committee for donors and recipients, contributing to advanced heart failure and transplant pathway evaluation.

The successful management of this case highlights the growing importance of advanced mechanical circulatory support programs in India. In life-threatening cardiogenic shock, rapid recognition and timely ECMO deployment can mean the difference between survival and irreversible organ failure. With extensive experience in high-acuity cardiac care, Dr. Khullar continues to deliver cutting-edge interventions that redefine survival outcomes in critical cardiac emergencies.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 05: Maharashtra has taken a major stride toward strengthening coastal transportation with the launch of the M2M Princess Ro-Pax Ferry Service connecting Mumbai to Vijaydurg in Sindhudurg district. The new maritime route is being celebrated as a milestone in the state’s efforts to modernize water transport and unlock the immense potential of its long coastline.

The ferry service was inaugurated on 1st March by the Hon’ble Fisheries and Ports Minister and Guardian Minister of Sindhudurg, Shri Nitesh Rane, under the leadership of Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis. The initiative represents a significant push toward improving coastal mobility, promoting tourism, and providing a faster travel alternative between Mumbai and the Konkan region.

Strengthening Maharashtra’s Maritime Vision

Maharashtra’s vast coastline presents enormous opportunities for maritime transport and economic development. Recognizing this potential, the state government has been actively promoting projects that enhance coastal connectivity and improve transport infrastructure.

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, maritime development has received renewed attention. The Mumbai–Vijaydurg ferry service reflects the government’s long-term vision of creating an efficient water transport network that complements existing road and rail systems.

Ports and Fisheries Minister Nitesh Rane has played an important role in driving initiatives aimed at improving connectivity in the Konkan region. His efforts have focused on promoting infrastructure that supports tourism, local businesses, and regional development.

Role of the Maharashtra Maritime Board

The project has been implemented with the support of the Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB), the nodal agency responsible for managing and developing the state’s non-major ports.

MMB has facilitated the development of this new ferry route as part of its broader strategy to expand coastal transport services. With Maharashtra’s coastline stretching more than 877 kilometers, the board continues to explore innovative ways to utilize maritime routes for passenger travel and economic growth.

Introducing the M2M Princess Ro-Pax Ferry

The centerpiece of the initiative is the M2M Princess, a modern Ro-Pax ferry designed to carry both passengers and vehicles. The Roll-On/Roll-Off system allows travelers to board the ferry with their vehicles and drive off at the destination, making the journey seamless and convenient.

Key Features of the Vessel

• Passenger Capacity: Up to 626 passengers
• Car Capacity: Approximately 40 four-wheel vehicles
• Motorcycle Capacity: Around 25 bikes
• Estimated Travel Time: About 7 hours between Mumbai and Vijaydurg

The ferry is equipped with comfortable seating and modern onboard facilities to ensure a safe and pleasant travel experience for passengers.

A Faster and Scenic Travel Alternative

Traveling by road from Mumbai to Sindhudurg typically takes 10 to 12 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. The new ferry route significantly reduces travel time while offering passengers a relaxing journey across the Arabian Sea.

Apart from saving time, the ferry service offers several advantages:

• Reduced pressure on highways
• A more sustainable mode of transport
• Comfortable long-distance travel
• A scenic sea journey along the Konkan coast

For many travelers, the opportunity to combine convenience with breathtaking coastal views makes the ferry an attractive option.

Enthusiastic Public Response

The launch of the ferry service generated widespread excitement among passengers and residents. The inaugural sailing of the M2M Princess was fully booked, reflecting strong public interest in the new transport option.

Passengers welcomed the service as a long-awaited alternative to long road journeys. The overwhelming response highlights the growing demand for efficient maritime connectivity between Mumbai and the Konkan region.

Boost to Tourism in Sindhudurg

Sindhudurg district is known for its pristine beaches, historic forts, and rich coastal culture. The direct ferry connection from Mumbai to Vijaydurg is expected to attract more tourists to the region.

Weekend travelers and holidaymakers from Mumbai and nearby cities will now find it easier to visit the Konkan coast. Increased tourist inflow is likely to benefit local businesses, including hotels, restaurants, and tourism operators.

This improved accessibility can also strengthen economic ties between Mumbai and southern Konkan districts.

Toward a Modern Water Transport Network

The launch of the Mumbai–Vijaydurg Ro-Pax ferry service represents an important step toward building a comprehensive coastal transport system in Maharashtra.

With strong leadership from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the proactive initiatives of Ports and Fisheries Minister Nitesh Rane, and the operational support of the Maharashtra Maritime Board, the state is steadily advancing its maritime infrastructure.

The success of the M2M Princess ferry service demonstrates the potential of water transport to play a larger role in Maharashtra’s future mobility landscape.

Conclusion

The introduction of the M2M Princess Ro-Pax ferry service marks a significant milestone in Maharashtra’s coastal development journey. By providing faster travel, promoting tourism, and strengthening regional connectivity, the project has set the stage for a new chapter in maritime transportation.

As the state continues to explore innovative ways to utilize its extensive coastline, initiatives like this ferry service are expected to contribute to sustainable growth, improved mobility, and stronger economic development across the Konkan region.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 05: This Women’s Day month, internationally acclaimed comedian Sharul Channa, recognised among Asia’s Top 10 comedians and Singapore’s only full-time female stand-up comedian, returns to her roots with a highly anticipated multi-city India tour.

Titled “Saree, These Are Just Jokes”, Sharul will tour across Coimbatore (13 March), Chennai (14 March), Bengaluru (20 March), Mumbai (21 March), Pune (22 March), Baroda (26^th March), Chandigarh (3^rd April) and Hyderabad (5 April), bringing her signature fearless humour, razor-sharp storytelling, and unfiltered cultural commentary to audiences across the country.

In an industry still largely male-dominated, Sharul has carved a distinctive space — bold, sharp and deeply authentic. Her comedy explores identity, diaspora life, cultural contradictions, and the everyday realities of modern women navigating multiple worlds.

This multi-city tour marks two significant milestones in Sharul’s career. As she completes 15 years in stand-up comedy, she also becomes the first Singapore-based Indian comedian to undertake an extensive eight-city tour across India — a testament to her growing cross-border influence and the rising cultural exchange between India and Singapore.

This tour also marks a powerful collaboration with Suta, the women-led saree brand founded by sisters Sujata and Taniya Biswas. Known for redefining sarees for the contemporary woman, Suta blends handwoven traditions with comfort, individuality, and conscious design.

As the official wardrobe collaborator for the tour, Suta becomes an extension of Sharul’s narrative — confident, contemporary, rooted, and self-expressive. Performing in a saree is not a costume choice, but a statement. Together, Sharul and Suta challenge long-held stereotypes: that comedy must look a certain way, that tradition is restrictive, or that femininity must be softened to be powerful.

Speaking about her upcoming India tour, Sharul Channa shares “This India tour feels incredibly special because I’m coming home not just as a comedian, but as a woman who has built her voice across cultures. Stand-up comedy is still a male-dominated space, and I’ve had to constantly challenge what people think a comedian should look like, sound like, or talk about. Performing in a saree this tour, in collaboration with Suta, is my way of saying that tradition and rebellion can coexist. The saree isn’t a costume — it’s identity. It’s strength. It is heritage worn on my terms. As someone who lives between India and Singapore, I’ve learned that humour travels across borders, but authenticity is universal. This Women’s Day month, I hope audiences see that taking up space — loudly, unapologetically — is not just powerful, it’s necessary.”

Sharul’s journey from India to Singapore and onto global comedy stages mirrors the growing cultural exchange between India and Singapore. With deep diaspora ties and expanding collaborations across business, arts and entertainment, the two nations share a dynamic relationship — and Sharul’s cross-border career stands as a contemporary example of that connection. Her homecoming tour becomes not just a performance series, but a celebration of how Indian voices are shaping and thriving on global stages.

The show features all-new material exploring modern womanhood, multicultural identity, relationships, societal expectations, and the absurdities women navigate daily — delivered with her trademark wit and refreshing honesty.

Don’t miss out on the chance to witness one of the most exciting and influential voices in comedy today. Sharul Channa is not just making it big – she’s redefining the landscape for women in comedy.

With Hyderabad already sold out, the tour is generating strong audience interest across cities.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], March 03: Renowned spiritual leader and filmmaker Omguru has made his acting debut with the Hindi short film Mind Game. The film marks a new creative chapter for Omguru, who is 80 per cent physically disabled and widely recognised for his work across cinema, spirituality, and social inclusion.

Produced under the banner of Omguru Films, Mind Game sees Omguru step in front of the camera after having previously scripted and directed two award-winning films, Gaamdhani and Vardan Ke Shrap. With this latest project, he adds acting to a diverse creative portfolio that includes direction and screenwriting. He is also the founder of the Ahmedabad International Film Festival (AIFF), which provides a platform for both established and emerging voices in cinema.

Despite significant physical challenges, Omguru has continued to pursue his artistic vision with determination, inspiring audiences and followers across India and internationally. Mind Game has been submitted to leading international film festivals, and early industry feedback has been encouraging.

Speaking about his acting debut, Omguru said, “Whether it is writing, directing or now acting, my purpose remains the same. I want to send a clear message that physical disability does not define one’s potential. People with disabilities do not need sympathy, but need encouragement, opportunity and a platform to show their talent. Films, with their wide reach and emotional connect, are a powerful medium to drive that change.”

The film comes at a time when preparations are also under way for the 17th edition of the Ahmedabad International Film Festival. The upcoming edition has already witnessed strong interest with 4,700 entries till February 2026 and continuing to arrive from across the world ahead of the August deadline. AIFF 2026 is expected to further strengthen its reputation as a people-centric, culturally rooted and globally relevant celebration of cinema.

New Delhi [India], March 02: India isn’t overheating. It isn’t stalling either. According to the RBI, the economy is right where it needs to be, steady, balanced, and holding its nerve.

What the RBI Really Means by “Goldilocks”

The term gets thrown around a lot. Sometimes lazily. Sometimes, to avoid saying anything specific. But when Sanjay Malhotra talks about a Goldilocks phase, he’s being precise.

The Reserve Bank of India sees an economy that’s growing without lighting inflation on fire. Demand is alive. Credit is flowing. Financial stress isn’t creeping in through the back door.

And that’s the point.

In a world where economies are either slamming the brakes or flooring the accelerator, India is cruising. Calmly. Almost stubbornly so.

India’s Goldilocks Economy and the Strength of Demand

The backbone of the India Goldilocks economy is demand that refuses to collapse. Consumption hasn’t vanished the moment borrowing costs rose. Investment hasn’t frozen because of global uncertainty.

Households are still spending. Carefully, yes. But spending nonetheless. Businesses are expanding capacity where it makes sense. Infrastructure projects keep rolling, not in bursts, but steadily.

This isn’t headline-grabbing growth. It’s the kind that sneaks up on you and then sticks around.

Credit growth reflects this reality. Lending isn’t concentrated in one overheated corner. It’s spread across housing, services, industry, and MSMEs. That spread matters. A lot.

When growth is broad, it’s harder to break.

Banks, Finally, Are Doing Their Job

I still remember when any RBI speech about growth was followed by a quiet pause. Then someone would say it. Banks. Bad loans. Stressed balance sheets. Those words haunted every forecast.

That phase, largely, is behind us.

Malhotra made it clear. Banks today are stronger, better capitalised, and far more disciplined. Asset quality has improved. Provisioning buffers exist for bad days, not just good PowerPoint slides.

Risk-taking hasn’t disappeared. It’s just smarter now. Less bravado. More math.

And honestly, that’s exactly what the India Goldilocks economy needs. Banks that lend without panicking. And without gambling.

Inflation Still Bites, But It’s Not Running Wild

Let’s not pretend inflation feels gentle. It doesn’t. Especially food prices. They spike. They fall. They spike again. Don’t ask me why onions always end up starring in macro debates, but here we are.

Still, the RBI’s assessment is measured. Inflation pressures exist, but they aren’t spiralling. Core inflation has moderated. Expectations remain anchored.

Malhotra didn’t dismiss the risks. Global commodity swings. Weather shocks. External volatility. All acknowledged.

But here’s the key line. Inflation is manageable.

That single word changes everything. Manageable inflation allows growth to continue. Unmanageable inflation kills it. India, for now, sits on the right side of that line.

Global Mess, Domestic Composure

Zoom out for a second. The global economy is jittery. Trade tensions simmer. Geopolitics refuse to calm down. Capital flows move at the speed of headlines.

And yet, India’s macro foundations hold.

Foreign exchange reserves act as a buffer. Fiscal consolidation continues, even if not at breakneck speed. External balances remain within comfort zones.

This doesn’t mean India is immune. No economy is. But shocks are being absorbed, not amplified.

That difference is the unsung hero of the India Goldilocks economy.

Why This Phase Could Last Longer

The RBI isn’t promising fireworks. No chest-thumping. No victory laps. What Malhotra is signaling is continuity.

Growth that’s strong enough to create jobs. Monetary conditions that are supportive without being reckless. Policy that responds to data, not noise.

In other words, discipline.

And discipline is boring. Until you realize how rare it’s become.

India isn’t chasing sugar highs. It’s building stamina. That’s why this Goldilocks phase might actually last longer than skeptics expect.

PNN NATIONAL

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], March 02: Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, including colorectal, gastric, and esophageal cancers, remain some of the most common and deadly types of cancer worldwide. Early detection plays a critical role in improving treatment outcomes and survival rates, making timely screening an essential part of maintaining digestive health. Dr. Ksheetij Kothari, a leading specialist, highlights the importance of regular GI cancer screenings and educates patients on how early intervention can save lives.

Dr. Kothari, a well-known gastroenterologist in Pune, specializes in diagnosing and treating complex gastrointestinal conditions at his clinic. He underscores the significance of early screening in preventing and detecting cancerous changes in the digestive system. According to Dr. Kothari, gastrointestinal cancers often develop without noticeable symptoms in their early stages, which is why routine screenings like colonoscopies, endoscopies, and other diagnostic procedures are crucial for at-risk individuals.

“Many GI cancers are preventable or treatable if detected early,” says Dr. Ksheetij Kothari. “Unfortunately, many patients delay screenings due to a lack of awareness about their risk or fear of the procedures involved. The truth is that screenings are typically safe, minimally invasive, and can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing advanced-stage cancer. Early detection through procedures such as colonoscopies or upper gastrointestinal endoscopies can lead to more effective treatments and improve long-term outcomes.”

As a trusted gastroenterologist in Pune, Dr. Kothari recommends that individuals with certain risk factors undergo screenings at regular intervals. Common risk factors for GI cancers include family history, age over 50, a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and chronic gastrointestinal issues such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD). Individuals with these factors are advised to consult a gastroenterologist to discuss appropriate screening plans.

Dr. Kothari explains that different types of screenings are used depending on the type of gastrointestinal cancer and the patient’s individual risk profile. Colonoscopies are one of the most widely used and effective methods for detecting colorectal cancer, allowing physicians to examine the entire colon and remove any precancerous polyps during the procedure. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopies (UGIs) are employed to screen for esophageal and gastric cancers, offering a high-resolution view of the digestive tract to identify abnormalities like tumors, ulcers, or inflammation.

In addition to these primary methods, other screenings such as stool tests, imaging techniques, and biopsies may be recommended based on a patient’s health status. Dr. Kothari’s clinic utilizes state-of-the-art technology to offer comprehensive diagnostic services, ensuring early and accurate detection of potential issues.

While general practitioners can help identify some health concerns, consulting a specialist like Dr. Ksheetij Kothari is vital for patients at higher risk of gastrointestinal cancers. A gastroenterologist can provide in-depth evaluations, personalized screening recommendations, and tailored care plans to optimize health outcomes. Dr. Kothari’s approach emphasizes patient education and empowerment. By educating patients on the importance of screening, potential risk factors, and available treatment options, he ensures that each person understands the significance of proactive health management. “Our goal is to provide not just the treatment, but the knowledge that empowers patients to take charge of their health,” says Dr. Kothari.

For patients who do experience symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, persistent abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, blood in stool, or changes in bowel habits, Dr. Kothari stresses the importance of seeking medical attention promptly. “These symptoms may not always indicate cancer, but they should never be ignored. Early consultation with a gastroenterologist is the key to identifying any underlying issues, whether they be benign or malignant,” he adds.

With advancements in medical technology and the widespread availability of screening procedures, there is no excuse for delaying necessary checks. Dr. Kothari encourages everyone, especially those over 50 or with a family history of GI cancers, to schedule regular screenings and take preventive action.

New Delhi [India], February 28: The Government of Delhi, through Delhi Tourism & Transportation Development Corporation Ltd., hosted an evening that announced, in style, the upcoming festival running 25 – 31 March. Held at the elegant Leela Palace in Chanakyapuri, the event brought together government leaders, filmmakers, cultural curators, and the media to unveil the festival’s vision, programming highlights, and international tie-ups.

In her presence as the chief guest, CM Rekha Gupta welcomed the plan to position the capital as a global cinematic destination. Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra led the evening, which attracted eminent figures from the film and entertainment sectors, industry partners, and press representatives.

“Delhi has always shaped culture, not followed it. With International Film Festival Delhi, we are creating a public festival that belongs to the people of this city,” says the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi, Mrs Rekha Gupta. “This is not an event for a few insiders. It is a city-wide celebration of cinema that supports creativity, creates opportunity and places Delhi firmly on the global cultural map.”

What unfolded was part announcement, part showcase. The organisers revealed a slate of premieres, neighbourhood screenings, masterclasses, live performances, and cultural activations designed to showcase the city’s UNESCO sites, heritage monuments, and living neighbourhoods to filmmakers and audiences from around the world. Planners emphasised that the festival is meant to open doors for production teams, storytellers, and local talent and to seed long-term film tourism opportunities.

“Delhi is set to host its first International Film Festival a landmark initiative inspired by the Hon’ble Chief Minister’s vision. With 2,000+ entries from 100+ countries and screenings across the city, this will be an inclusive platform celebrating global and Indian cinema, and a sustained effort to promote cultural diversity and nation-building through film.” says the Hon’ble Tourism Minister, Delhi, Mr Kapil Mishra.

Highlights from the evening: 

• The evening highlighted the programming overview and the international partnerships that will shape the March festival.
• A preview of world and Indian premieres to be staged at major venues and community screenings across the city.
• Announcements on masterclasses, talent platforms and industry roundtables aimed at connecting local creators with global collaborators.
• Cultural performances that mixed classical and contemporary forms, reinforcing the festival’s city-wide footprint.

“IFFD is not a one-week spectacle. We are building a cultural institution for Delhi that grows year after year,” shares the MD & CEO of DTTDC, Mr Suneel Anchipaka, IAS. “We want to give citizens a festival they can truly participate in and take pride in. One that attracts visitors to join us in Delhi to partake in the celebrations”

Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra, Festival Director, said: “IFFD is a platform for the youth, to challenge themselves and be challenged, to be inspired and to inspire, to discover and be discovered. There are several inspiring stories waiting to be told and the International Film Festival Delhi is the platform to ignite a new flame for cinema. Through the festival we also seek to amplify Delhi’s stories, from its neighbourhoods to its stages, and to connect local talent with global audiences. I’m honoured to help build a festival that truly belongs to the city.”

Actor Divya Dutta said: “As a Delhi girl, these streets are part of me. I’ve played characters shaped by the city’s humour and grit, and I’m proud to welcome IFFD, a festival that brings those neighbourhood stories to a wider audience.”

Actor Nimrat Kaur said: “Delhi shaped me, from DPS Noida to Shri Ram College of Commerce and the city’s endless, messy journeys on U-specials, and it was there I found the stories I needed to tell. The Lunchbox proved that the most intimate story can be the most universal; cinema carries feeling across languages and borders. That’s exactly what IFFD stands for, a space where local voices find global audiences. As someone who has lived on both sides of the camera, I’m proud to be part of this festival and to champion the young storytellers of Delhi: tell your story honestly, unapologetically, and the world will listen.”

Actor Arjun Kapoor said: “There’s something about Delhi, its energy, its diversity, its conversations, its myriad cultures. It carries centuries of history comfortably with its cool modern energy. IFFD taps into that composite facet of the city, bringing together artistes and storytellers from across the country under one roof. I see IFFD as a reminder that stories can start anywhere, and a city as multifaceted as this has plenty waiting to be told. In Delhi, something powerful is always about to begin. I’m excited to experience it with everyone.”

The organisers noted the festival’s dual purpose: to stage a compelling cultural event and create sustainable opportunities for film production and storytelling in the capital. The message was clear: this isn’t just a week of screenings; it’s a strategic push to make the city a preferred destination for filmmakers, production houses and cultural tourism.

Sabbas Joseph, Co-founder and Director of Wizcraft Entertainment Group, said: “What we launched today goes beyond a festival format; it establishes a global cultural property. At this scale, the platform creates meaningful opportunities for Indian and international storytellers to connect, collaborate and find audiences worldwide. The sheer largeness and ambition of the project signal that Delhi is stepping onto the world stage as a lasting hub for cinema and cultural exchange.”

The execution of this cinematic extravaganza is being led by Wizcraft Entertainment Group, known for its large-scale cultural and entertainment productions. Like the pageantry of the IIFA Awards, IFFI and GIMA, Wizcraft brings the sheer scale and “wow factor” required to make this first edition an unforgettable spectacle. While M/s KPMG is the knowledge partner, the festival is owned and organised by the Delhi Tourism & Transport Development Corporation (DTTDC), Government of NCT Delhi.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 27:  Gallbladder cancer is one of the most aggressive and often underdiagnosed gastrointestinal malignancies, frequently mistaken for routine gallbladder stones or chronic inflammation until it progresses to an advanced stage. Because early symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, nausea, or jaundice are often subtle or attributed to benign conditions, timely detection remains a major challenge. However, advancements in minimally invasive endoscopic techniques are transforming the landscape of gallbladder cancer diagnosis and treatment, offering patients safer interventions, faster recovery, and improved survival outcomes.

Dr. Vipulroy Rathod, a globally acclaimed Gastroenterologist in Mumbai , India, has been instrumental in advancing precision-driven endoscopic approaches for complex hepatobiliary cancers. Recognized as a highly experienced Endoscopist in Mumbai, India, he has over three decades of clinical expertise and more than 80,000 endoscopic procedures to his credit. Dr. Rathod emphasizes that accurate staging and early intervention are critical in managing gallbladder cancer effectively. “Gallbladder cancer often disguises itself as routine gallbladder disease,” he explains. “Advanced endoscopic imaging and Endoscopic Ultrasound allow us to identify suspicious lesions at an early stage, sometimes before the disease spreads beyond control.”

Modern gastroenterology has witnessed a paradigm shift with the integration of high-definition imaging, therapeutic endoscopy, and Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS). These technologies allow detailed visualization of the gallbladder wall, bile ducts, and surrounding structures. Tissue sampling can be performed in real time, enabling precise diagnosis without the need for large surgical incisions. This minimally invasive approach not only enhances diagnostic accuracy but also reduces patient discomfort and hospital stay.

In cases where gallbladder cancer leads to biliary obstruction or complications, advanced endoscopic interventions can provide immediate relief. Procedures such as ERCP-guided stenting, endoscopic biliary drainage, and ultrasound-guided interventions help restore bile flow, reduce jaundice, and stabilize patients before definitive oncological treatment. “Our goal is to combine technology with expertise to minimize surgical trauma,” Dr. Rathod states. “Minimally invasive procedures significantly reduce complications and allow patients to recover faster, which is crucial in cancer care.”

Another major advantage of minimally invasive management lies in its suitability for elderly or high-risk patients who may not tolerate extensive open surgery. Endoscopic techniques offer therapeutic options that are both effective and less physically demanding. By preserving organ function and limiting physiological stress, these procedures enhance overall treatment tolerance and quality of life.

Dr. Rathod is recognized as a pioneer of diagnostic and interventional Endoscopic Ultrasound in South Asia, having performed more than 20,000 EUS interventions. His expertise spans pancreaticobiliary diseases, gastrointestinal cancers, and complex therapeutic endoscopy. Trained at internationally renowned institutions including Universitätsklinikum Hamburg Eppendorf in Germany and Yale University in the United States, he brings global best practices to Indian patients, ensuring world-class standards of care.

Beyond procedural excellence, patient education and awareness remain central to his philosophy. He encourages individuals with persistent gallbladder symptoms, recurrent gallstones, unexplained weight loss, or jaundice to seek early specialist evaluation. “When detected early, gallbladder cancer management becomes far more effective,” he emphasizes. “Timely endoscopic evaluation can dramatically influence survival rates and long-term outcomes.”

The integration of advanced technology with extensive clinical experience has positioned minimally invasive gastroenterology as a game-changer in digestive oncology. Precision diagnostics, targeted interventions, and patient-centric care collectively contribute to better survival statistics and enhanced recovery pathways for gallbladder cancer patients.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], February 24: Sterling Hospitals, in collaboration with the Rotary Club, successfully organized a Cancer Awareness Walkathon to promote awareness about early detection and timely treatment of cancer. Nearly 500 participants took part in the walk, which commenced from Sterling Hospital’s Sindhubhavan Unit. The event was held between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM and witnessed enthusiastic participation from healthcare professionals, Rotary members, cancer survivors and citizens committed to spreading the message that cancer can be cured if treated at the right time.

The walkathon aimed to create greater public awareness about cancer prevention, the importance of recognizing early symptoms and the need for regular health check-ups. Organizers emphasized that fear and lack of awareness often lead to delayed diagnosis, whereas timely medical consultation can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

Mr. Santosh Marathe, MD & CEO, Sterling Hospitals, said, “Sterling Hospitals offers diagnosis, treatment, survivorship programs & palliative care under Oncology services. With advancements in oncology care, many cancers can be effectively treated and even cured, if diagnosed at the right stage. Through this walkathon, we wanted to reinforce the message that timely screening and medical intervention can truly save lives.”

Highlighting the Sterling hospital’s continued commitment, Mr. Raman Bhaskar, Zonal Director, Ahmedabad Unit, Sterling Hospitals, stated, “The encouraging participation of nearly 500 citizens reflects the growing awareness in the community. Our Sindhubhavan Unit has been dedicated to providing comprehensive cancer care for several years and initiatives like this help us take the message of early detection and cure beyond hospital walls.”

Dr. Prasad Muglikar, Group Medical Director, Sterling Hospitals Group, said, “Cancer care today goes beyond treatment. It is equally about awareness, prevention and early diagnosis. Initiatives like this walkathon help bridge the gap between medical knowledge and public understanding, encouraging people to seek timely consultations and adopt healthier lifestyles that can reduce cancer risk.”

Dr. Pooja Nandwani Patel, Director – Radiation Oncology, Sterling Hospitals, added, “From a clinical perspective, early detection helps identify cancer cases at very early stages, thereby reducing the need for multiple treatments and significantly improving cancer cure rates while ensuring a good quality of life after treatment. Through community outreach efforts like this, we aim to educate citizens about the importance of screening and reassure them that with modern therapies and multidisciplinary care, cancer can be effectively managed.”

Adding the Rotary perspective, the spokesperson said, “Rotary has always believed in serving the community through meaningful action. This walkathon is a step toward educating people that cancer should not be feared or ignored. Awareness, regular check-ups and timely treatment can make a life-saving difference.”

Sterling Hospitals’ Sindhubhavan Unit, a dedicated cancer specific center operational for several years, continues to provide comprehensive oncology services including advanced diagnostics, medical oncology, surgical oncology and radiation oncology under one roof.

In urban cities like Ahmedabad, changing lifestyles and delayed health check-ups often contribute to late diagnoses. Sterling Hospital strongly urges citizens not to ignore persistent symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, prolonged cough, unusual lumps, abnormal bleeding or long-standing discomfort.

Regular screenings and preventive health check-ups play a vital role in identifying cancer at an early stage. More importantly, spreading the message that cancer is treatable and, in many cases, curable if addressed in time, is central to this initiative. The successful completion of the walkathon marked a significant step toward building a more informed and health-conscious Ahmedabad, reinforcing the belief that with awareness, regular screening and timely treatment, cancer can be effectively managed and, in many cases, cured.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 23: Sparsh Children’s Hospital, a Pediatric Hospital in Parel, has started its medical operations under the guidance of Dr. Suresh Shah and Dr. Arpit Shah who serve as the hospital’s principal pediatric professionals.

The launch of Sparsh Children’s Hospital addresses a growing need for a specialized pediatric hospital in Parel to cater to neonatal critical care facilities in Mumbai’s central belt, which has experienced rising urban density that results in increasing neonatal complications, pediatric infections and respiratory illnesses and emergency medical conditions in children.

The hospital provides dedicated medical services for infants and children and adolescents through its combination of advanced NICU and PICU facilities and evidence-based clinical protocols and experienced pediatric critical care specialists.

“Children are not just small adults. Their physiological characteristics and their disease patterns and their treatment responses show complete differences between children and adults,” said Dr. Suresh Shah who brings decades of experience in pediatrics neonatology and intensive care. “Our vision with Sparsh Children’s Hospital is to provide high-quality pediatric critical care that is both technologically advanced and deeply compassionate.”

Healthcare experts demonstrate that pediatric-trained intensivists and neonatologists must access patient treatment immediately to improve survival rates and long-term results for critically ill children. The medical conditions of prematurity neonatal sepsis, respiratory distress, severe infections and metabolic disorders need immediate treatment from pediatric specialists who have been trained to handle those specific conditions.

Sparsh Children’s Hospital has been developed to meet these needs through:

• The hospital includes a modern Neonatal Intensive Care Unit which provides essential services to both premature infants and newborns who require specialized medical care.
• The hospital includes a complete Pediatric Intensive Care Unit which provides essential medical services to children who are critically ill.
• The system includes monitoring technologies and ventilator equipment and protocols for controlling infections.
• The hospital uses a comprehensive team system which includes pediatricians and intensivists and trained nurses and allied healthcare professionals.

Dr. Arpit Shah who works as a Pediatric Critical Care Specialist believes that early medical treatment together with specific monitoring methods enables better chances of survival for children.

“The first hour of a pediatric emergency room visit establishes the trajectory of patient outcomes. The establishment of a 24-hour pediatric critical care team dedicated to their work results in better patient recovery and survival rates” according to his statement.

Sparsh Children’s Hospital provides exceptional medical service delivery while using its family-centered method which helps children recover because parents provide essential emotional support. The hospital system includes parents as partners who participate in care discussions and treatment planning and counseling sessions throughout the extended NICU and PICU stays of their children.

This approach matches international pediatric healthcare standards which require medical facilities to establish transparent communication methods and offer psychological support to families with critically ill children. Sparsh Children’s Hospital located in Parel provides specialized pediatric medical services to Central and South Mumbai families who need closer access to their home area. The hospital will achieve its goal of decreasing patient referrals and treatment delays through its dedication to early medical diagnosis and continuous patient observation and its use of research-based treatment methods.

Hospitals that provide only pediatric services better their medical results because their doctors possess specialized skills and their facilities are designed for children. The medical facility at Sparsh Children’s Hospital exists as a place which unites medical excellence with compassionate care to deliver customized healthcare solutions for every child.

Sparsh Children’s Hospital also plans to actively participate in clinical audits, continuous medical education, and protocol upgrades, keeping pace with evolving pediatric and neonatal care standards. The leadership team emphasizes that healthcare delivery must adapt continuously to new research and best practices.

“Our commitment goes beyond treatment. We aim to build trust with families and become a reliable pediatric healthcare partner for the community,” added Dr. Shah.

The opening of Sparsh Children’s Hospital in Mumbai establishes a major achievement for pediatric medical services in Mumbai which provides advanced critical care together with specialized medical expertise and a dedicated healthcare approach for the city’s most vulnerable patients.

Located on Nargis Dutt Road, Pali Hill, Green Acrres is envisioned as an ultra-luxury residential landmark rising 16 floors above one of the city’s most coveted addresses. Designed as an exclusive sanctuary for the privileged few, the project introduces a rare format to Mumbai private full-floor sky estates, redefining scale, privacy and prestige in urban living.

A Rare Address. A Singular Vision.

Part of the Paradigm Marquis Collection, Green Acrres embodies the philosophy: “The Finest Homes for the Highest Echelon, by the House of Paradigm Realty.”

Strategically positioned in Pali Hill’s heritage-rich enclave, which is home to Bollywood icons, business magnates and cultural luminaries, the development is designed not merely as residences but as limited-edition private estates commanding their own floors, ensuring unmatched exclusivity.

The nearly 0.5-acre land parcel accommodates only 16 stately residences in a spacious, low-density layout. These residences feature expansive configurations of up to approximately 5,700 sq. ft carpet area.  Thus, Green Acrres is curated for those who seek permanence, privacy and pedigree in equal measure.

Architecture that Marries Elegance and Precision

Inspired by Japandi design principles blending Japanese precision with Scandinavian minimalism, the structure features:

• Pillar-free, column-free open floor plan that is open on all four sides for superlative cross-ventilation
• Floor-to-ceiling glazing for natural light and ventilation
• Approximately 12 ft floor-to-ceiling height that emulates world-class resort-style living spaces
• Sea-facing palatial decks
• Elegant cladding as a more refined, aesthetically-pleasing and durable alternative to conventional paint
• Two service elevators and two private elevators

The building rises as a visual anchor at 56 metres, redefining the skyline while preserving the serenity Pali Hill is known for.

Arrival as a Ritual

Green Acrres elevates everyday living into a curated experience through:

• A 17.5 ft sweeping driveway with valet-serviced drop-off
• A five-star resort-style ground floor area that is car-free and embellished with lush greenery
• A 22 ft double-height grand lobby with concierge services
• A 100-year-old Bonsai adorning the landscaped lawn
• Business lounge and deli café reserved exclusively for residents
• A separate service entrance for enhanced resident privacy

The development also features three basement levels with ramp parking, EV provisions, multi-layered security systems, RFID and biometric access controls, ensuring discretion and peace of mind.

Elevated Living Beyond Residences

Green Acrres offers over 4,300 sq. ft. of rooftop leisure experiences, including:

• Infinity pool with panoramic views
• Open-air amphitheatre
• Rooftop lounge and bar
• Fully equipped conditioning room (gymnasium)
• Banquet hall and conference chamber

Wellness, leisure and business are seamlessly integrated, transforming the address into a self-contained lifestyle estate.

Connectivity Without Compromise

While cocooned in privacy, the project remains minutes from Mumbai’s key corridors:

• 3 minutes to the upcoming Coastal Road exit
• 7 minutes to Bandra-Worli Sea Link
• 10 minutes to Western Express Highway
• 30 minutes to Nariman Point

A New Chapter for Ultra-Luxury in Mumbai

Speaking on the occasion of the groundbreaking ceremony, representatives from Paradigm Realty emphasised that Green Acrres is not simply another luxury tower; it is a generational heirloom crafted for families who value discretion, legacy and architectural distinction.

With Green Acrres, Paradigm Realty reinforces its commitment to delivering avant-garde landmarks across Mumbai developments that do not merely occupy space, but elevate the standard of living in the city.

As ground is broken today on Pali Hill’s Billionaires’ Row, Green Acrres signals the dawn of a new era in Mumbai’s ultra-premium real estate landscape.

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], February 23: At a time when edible oils and dietary fats are widely discussed and often misunderstood, leading nutrition scientists, cardiologists, neurologists, food technologists and lipid experts gathered in Gurugram for a half-day seminar on “Nutritional and Functional Aspects of Palm Oil.” 

 The seminar was jointly organised by the Oil Technologists’ Association of India (OTAI) – North Zone and FARE Labs Pvt. Ltd., with support from the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC). The objective was to create a scientific platform for open and balanced discussions on the role of palm oil in India’s food and nutrition system. 

 Experts from academic, medical and research institutions shared insights on how palm oil performs from a health and functional perspective. Presentations covered topics such as cholesterol metabolism, heart and liver health, neurological aspects, stability during high-heat cooking, food safety testing and quality standards. Speakers highlighted that overall health depends more on balanced diets, lifestyle habits and moderation than on avoiding or focusing on any one specific edible oil. 

During the technical sessions, experts explained that palm oil is naturally free from trans fats and contains a mix of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. It also contains Vitamin E components such as tocotrienols and tocopherols, which have antioxidant properties. Because of its stability at high temperatures, palm oil is widely used in Indian cooking methods such as frying and sautéing. When used appropriately, it maintains consistency and performs well in both household and food service applications. 

 The seminar also discussed India’s edible oil situation. As the country works towards reducing import dependence by expanding oil palm cultivation, experts noted that oil palm is one of the highest-yielding oil crops in the world, producing more oil per hectare than most other oilseeds. Given India’s growing demand for edible oils, palm oil offers a practical and scalable solution for both nutritional use and food processing needs. Strengthening domestic oil palm cultivation through scientific farming practices and supportive policies was seen as an important step toward improving long-term edible oil self-reliance. 

The seminar ended with a shared understanding that palm oil, like any edible oil, must be evaluated within the broader context of overall diet and lifestyle. Experts reiterated that informed decision-making depends on access to credible scientific information. The discussions highlighted the importance of keeping edible oil conversations practical, evidence-driven and aligned with India’s growing nutritional and food security priorities.

New Delhi [India], February 23: India, with an aim to boost its growth rate from the current level of about 6.5%, needs long term policy planning in a bid to woo private sector investments amid rising geopolitical risks, experts said at a recently held seminar in the capital.

Given the macroeconomic stability that India enjoys at this point, investors need to be given the required reassurance of policy certainty as well. That apart it is crucial to ensure the artificial intelligence must be channelled positively and it must protect the jobs market.

The seminar—India’s Growth Beyond Budget: Navigating Mission 2047—organised by The Secretariat in association with Chintan Research Foundation underlined the need for structural reform along with political consensus. The growth story also must touch the lives of every citizen and inequality must be reduced.

Speaking on the occasion, Davinder Sandhu, Chairman, Primus Partners said AI and other technology must improve productivity, but steps are key to rule out any impact on employment in a labour-surplus economy. He also highlighted that India’s growth story is squarely dependent on the micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) sector which is the second largest employer only after the agriculture sector.

Rahul Ahluwalia, Founder Director, Foundation for Economic Development, who was also present at the seminar said that the government must take steps in promoting exports.

“We are a big market only because we have 1.4 billion people. On a per capita basis, we are one of the smallest markets in the world,” Ahluwalia said, adding that every fast-growing story has been export-led.

Bala Bhaskar, former Ambassador and an Economist highlighted the significance of carefully carving free trade agreements, so that these help the Indian exporters. “Signing FTAs is insufficient without building standards, intellectual property, technological capability, and supply chain depth,” he said.

Meanwhile Prabir De, Professor, Research and Information System for Developing Countries, said that it is imperative to have a plan on “Viksit Rajyas” or “Viksit” states for India to transform into Viksit Bharat by 2047.

“Numbers are very optimistic, but challenges are equally very high,” De said.

Vaibhav Dange, CEO, Build India Foundation noted the importance of quality infrastructure development to support growth. “The domestic strength of India’s economy has been the greatest advantage India has. Both in terms of consumption and capital expenditure on various aspects of the economy, infrastructure in particular,” Dange said.

Interestingly, Sanjeev Ahluwalia, Distinguished Fellow at CRF also said that the common citizens too need to play a role in pushing India’s growth story.

New Delhi [India], February 21: As global financial markets continue to experience heightened volatility and sector rotations in early 2026, many investors are finding that traditional “pure equity” portfolios are struggling to deliver the consistent growth they once promised.

Amidst this uncertainty, Multi-Asset Allocation has emerged as the definitive strategy for wealth preservation and growth, significantly outperforming single-category investments over the past twelve months.

The Shift: Why Multi-Asset is Outpacing Pure Equity

Recent market data highlights a sharp divergence in performance. While many pure equity funds, particularly those focused on large-cap and flexi-cap stocks, faced stagnant returns and double-digit swings throughout 2025 and early 2026, Multi-Asset Allocation Funds delivered impressive returns of 17% to 21%.

The secret to this success lies in the power of “Built-in Diversification.” By mandates set by regulatory bodies like SEBI, these funds must invest at least 10% across three distinct asset classes: typically Equity, Debt, and Gold.

1. The Gold Cushion: In the last year, gold has been a standout performer, surging to record highs. While equities faced headwinds from geopolitical tensions and interest rate fluctuations, the gold component in multi-asset funds acted as a vital buffer, driving gains while stocks were volatile.

2. The Debt Anchor: The inclusion of fixed-income instruments provided much-needed stability, ensuring that the downward pressure on stocks didn’t result in the steep capital erosion seen in pure equity portfolios.

Conviction in a Volatile World

For many investors, the challenge isn’t just knowing where to invest but having the discipline to stay the course. This is where professional advisory becomes the differentiator.

Aman Dhingra, Promoter of Conviction Partners, emphasizes that the current market environment demands a shift from chasing “peaks” to seeking “consistency.”

“At Conviction Partners, we believe the true path to wealth is through high-conviction, multi-asset strategies. By balancing growth-oriented equities with defensive assets like gold and debt, we provide our clients with an ‘all-weather’ portfolio that captures upside without the stomach-churning volatility of the broader markets.”

Why Invest Now?

The benefits of multi-asset investing extend beyond just raw performance:

1. Automatic Rebalancing: Fund managers tactically shift capital between assets, selling high and buying low on your behalf.

2. Lower Volatility: A smoother “return journey” makes it easier for investors to remain committed to their long-term financial goals.

3. Simplicity: Instead of managing multiple separate accounts for gold, bonds, and stocks, one fund provides a comprehensive solution.

Partner with Conviction

For those looking to transition from reactive investing to a disciplined, professionally managed strategy, Conviction Partners offers the expertise required to navigate these complex cycles. Specializing in high-quality multi-asset solutions, the firm focuses on protecting capital during downturns while positioning portfolios for sustainable long-term gains.

Dubai [UAE], February 21: Dubai will host the 2026 edition of “The Pillars of Asia,” a recognition platform positioned to honour innovators and leaders from across the continent. Organised under the banner of NBExperience, the Dubai edition is expected to bring together entrepreneurs, creators, philanthropists and industry figures for an event centred on celebrating professional achievement and innovation.

According to organisers, the platform has been designed to create a space where individuals and organisations that contribute to industry advancement can be acknowledged in a structured and curated environment. The Dubai edition marks what founder Neelima Kurapati describes as the beginning of a broader international roadmap.

NBExperience was established with the stated objective of reshaping how recognition is experienced. In a message outlining the platform’s origins, Neelima said it was founded on the belief that recognition should empower individuals rather than merely applaud them. Drawing on over a decade of experience as a digital strategist and citing multiple international recognitions in innovation and brand leadership, she conceptualised the initiative as a structured forum to spotlight leadership and creativity.

The Dubai edition is positioned as the first step in what organisers describe as a global vision. While the initial focus is on Asia’s innovators and changemakers, the long-term objective is to expand the platform’s footprint beyond regional boundaries.

Mission and Scale

The stated mission of NBExperience is to redefine recognition through meaningful experiences and global connections. Its vision centres on building an international platform that celebrates innovation, creativity and leadership across industries.

Organisers say the initiative began as a small-scale effort to make recognition more meaningful and immersive. Over time, it has evolved into what is described as a global platform that curates recognition-led events aimed at highlighting leaders and visionaries. The format focuses on experiential elements, structured acknowledgments and professional networking.

Data shared by NBExperience indicates that the platform has reached more than 75,000 global professionals to date. It reports reviewing over 12,000 nominations and applications across its editions and initiatives. In addition, the organisers state that participating brands have collectively received exposure valued at over $15 million. The platform also cites 1,500 curated recognition moments as part of its portfolio.

These figures, according to the organisers, reflect both participation levels and the scale of engagement generated through past editions. They describe the metrics as indicative of the trust and credibility built within professional communities.

The Dubai 2026 edition is expected to follow the curated model established in previous initiatives, with a focus on structured recognition and cross-industry participation. By situating the event in Dubai, organisers aim to leverage the city’s position as a global business and cultural hub that connects Asia with international markets.

While detailed programme specifics for the 2026 edition have not yet been disclosed, the event is being positioned as a gathering of professionals whose work contributes to sectoral progress. The emphasis, according to NBExperience, remains on recognising impact, leadership and innovation through thoughtfully designed experiences.

As preparations advance, the Dubai edition represents a milestone for NBExperience’s stated ambition to build an internationally recognised platform. With Asia as its starting point and Dubai as its launchpad, The Pillars of Asia 2026 is set to mark the next phase in the organisation’s evolving recognition framework.

New Delhi [India], February 21: Families in Indore now have access to internationally benchmarked education closer to home with the launch of Chatrabhuj Narsee School (CNS) Indore, the third campus of one of India’s most respected K–12 international school networks. With a strong legacy in Mumbai and Pune, CNS brings its internationally aligned academic approach to Central India at a time when the city is rapidly emerging as a centre for education and opportunity.

Founded by the Methibai Devraj Gundecha Education Society, Chatrabhuj Narsee School is widely recognised for its academic rigour, teacher development practices, and thoughtfully designed campuses. Over the years, CNS has earned multiple national recognitions, including #1 rankings for Campus Architecture and Design, Design Thinking Leadership, and Professional Development Excellence. Its Mumbai campus has been named the Best School in India in the ‘Great Schools to Work With’ International School category, while the Pune campus was recognised as the Most Promising School with Modern Infrastructure.

The opening of CNS Indore addresses a long-standing aspiration among parents in the region who seek global curricula and future-ready education without the need to relocate to metro cities or send children to boarding schools. The new campus offers an academically rigorous yet balanced learning environment designed to meet the evolving expectations of modern families.

CNS Indore introduces the proposed International Cambridge curriculum, which focuses on conceptual clarity, critical thinking, and real-world application rather than rote learning. Students benefit from the same academic framework, faculty training standards, and quality benchmarks that have shaped the school’s Mumbai and Pune campuses, ensuring consistency in learning outcomes and global preparedness.

At the heart of Chatrabhuj Narsee School’s philosophy is a four-pillar learning approach—learning to learn, learning to do, learning to be, and learning to live in peace and harmony. This holistic framework supports not only academic achievement but also emotional intelligence, independence, and responsible citizenship.

Speaking on the expansion, Mr. Sujay Jairaj, Chairperson of Chatrabhuj Narsee School, said, “Indore represents ambition and potential. Our aim is to ensure that students here receive the same quality of education and global exposure as students in major international cities, while staying rooted in strong values.”

Mrs. Minal Thacker, Trustee and member of the founding leadership, added, “Our teaching practices are internationally aligned, but our values are deeply Indian. Education at CNS is about preparing children for life, beyond academics.”

Developed in collaboration with BCM Group, a trusted name in the region, the Indore campus has been thoughtfully planned to support student wellbeing and experiential learning. The campus features flexible classrooms, collaborative spaces, and an accessible location designed to reduce long daily commutes for families.

Admissions are now open at Chatrabhuj Narsee School Indore from Early Years 1 (Nursery) to Grade 7 for the upcoming academic year. Parents are encouraged to visit the campus to better understand the school’s learning philosophy, curriculum, and facilities.

Established in 2015, Chatrabhuj Narsee School is a Cambridge-accredited institution known for its blended learning model and commitment to holistic, values-based education. Guided by its Pentagon Model of Development, CNS continues to set benchmarks for international schooling in India.

New Delhi [India], February 21: The T20 World Cup 2026 Super Eight match officials are now locked in, and this is the crew that will keep the pulse of the tournament steady as the world’s best teams clash in blistering knockout cricket.

Match Officials of the Super Eight

The International Cricket Council has already announced the names of match officials for the Super Eight phase of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, which commences on February 21 at venues across Sri Lanka and India.

This stage of the competition separates winners from losers. And the ICC, treating the task like a high-stakes courtroom drama, has appointed 16 umpires and four match referees to oversee the action.

Think of these officials as the guardians of fair play. The clock does not run without them. They take the toughest decisions under pressure. In T20 cricket, a single missed edge or a misread LBW can flip a game. Experience matters, and this panel has it in abundance.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has officially announced the match officials for the Super Eight stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, scheduled to begin on February 21, 2026. The tournament is being co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.

A panel of 16 elite umpires and four experienced match referees has been appointed to oversee this crucial phase of the competition. The referees selected for the Super Eight include Ranjan Madugalle, Andrew Pycroft, Richie Richardson, and Javagal Srinath, all of whom bring decades of international officiating experience.

The umpiring panel features several of the game’s most respected officials, including Richard Kettleborough, Nitin Menon, Kumar Dharmasena, Chris Gaffaney, Rodney Tucker, Paul Reiffel, and Richard Illingworth, along with others assigned across venues in Colombo, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Kandy, and Kolkata.

Key fixtures include New Zealand vs Pakistan on February 21 in Colombo, India vs South Africa on February 22 in Ahmedabad, and India vs West Indies on March 1 in Kolkata. The Super Eight stage is divided into two groups and plays a decisive role in determining the tournament’s semi-finalists.

This announcement reflects standard ICC tournament operations and focuses solely on match officiating logistics.

Major On-Field Umpiring Assignments and Veterans

The first Super Eight match, New Zealand vs Pakistan in Colombo on February 21, will be officiated by Rodney Tucker and Paul Reiffel as the on-field umpires. They are not rookies. They are seasoned professionals with years of top-level experience.

Allahudien Paleker will serve as the TV umpire, while Sam Nogajski takes charge as the fourth umpire, roles that are equally crucial in the era of DRS and instant replays.

As the tournament progresses, the panel rotates across matches in Kandy, Colombo, and major Indian venues. When India face South Africa in Ahmedabad on February 22, Chris Gaffaney and Richard Kettleborough will stand in the middle, with Alex Wharf as TV umpire and Chris Brown as fourth umpire.

That pairing is not accidental. Gaffaney and Kettleborough have handled the biggest stages, including the 2024 final. They bring a calm that only elite professionals possess.

Umpires such as Nitin Menon, Adrian Holdstock, Ahsan Raza, Asif Yaqoob, Richard Illingworth, Jayaraman Madanagopal, Shahid Saikat, and Kumar Dharmasena will rotate through marquee fixtures during the Super Eight.

If you ever wonder what separates a good umpire from a great one, watch how they perform in front of 40,000 spectators, with every ball replayed in slow motion.

Referees: The Men Who Keep the Game Right

The oversight panel includes four match referees: Ranjan Madugalle, Andrew Pycroft, Richie Richardson, and Javagal Srinath. They may not stand in the middle of the field, but they hold authority.

Their role goes beyond watching leather meet willow. They handle code-of-conduct issues, maintain discipline, and ensure fairness at a broader level. Think of them as judges in cricket’s global courtroom.

India’s Presence in the Official Panel

India is not just hosting matches. Indian officials are part of the officiating mix as well.

Nitin Menon brings sharp instincts, while Jayaraman Madanagopal represents the new generation of elite umpires from the subcontinent. Their inclusion reflects trust as much as talent.

This is not tokenism. It is merit. Their presence signals the depth of India’s cricketing culture, the strength of its training systems, and the growing credibility of its officiating pool.

What This Says About the ICC’s Approach to Fairness

By blending experienced global umpires with emerging talent, the ICC sends a clear message:

• Experience matters

• Compromise is not an option

• This stage of the tournament is serious cricket

In a sport where one wrong call can erase hours of preparation, the quality of officials quietly shapes how games are played and remembered.

Good officials do not change games. They ensure games remain real.

How Officials Shape the Big Moments

Fans obsess over sixes, yorkers, and dropped catches. But the umpire’s voice, that sharp, decisive “Out,” or a perfectly judged no-ball, is the invisible hand guiding the story.

Just as a batting lineup is a team’s engine, match officials are its transmission. They ensure everything runs smoothly under pressure. In a 40-over sprint like the T20 Super Eight, there is no room for doubt.

Every call matters. Every glance matters. And these officials will be at the centre of the action, from Colombo to Ahmedabad, and on to Kandy and Kolkata.

New Delhi [India], February 21: Money doesn’t fix governance by itself. But it sure helps when it reaches the right hands. On 20 February 2026, the Union Government released over ₹137 crore in Fifteenth Finance Commission (XV-FC) grants to strengthen Rural Local Bodies (RLBs) in Goa, Meghalaya, Sikkim, and Uttarakhand These funds are primarily “Untied Grants” intended to support location-specific developmental needs at the grassroots level. 

• Uttarakhand

   (₹89.41 crore): For district, block, and gram panchayats.

• Meghalaya

   (₹27.00 crore): Allocated to Autonomous District Councils.

• Goa

   (₹14.58 crore): Covering recent and pending instalments.

• Sikkim

   (₹6.76 crore): Supporting local bodies

₹137 Crore 15th Finance Commission Grants Boost Rural Governance

The Government of India has released ₹137 crore under the 15th Finance Commission grants to strengthen rural local bodies across Goa, Meghalaya, Sikkim, and Uttarakhand, reinforcing its focus on decentralised governance and grassroots development. The funds have been disbursed to support institutional capacity, basic service delivery, and financial stability at the village and district levels.

These grants form part of the Finance Commission’s broader mandate to ensure predictable and performance-linked fiscal transfers to local governments, enabling them to function as effective units of self-governance. The release aligns with the constitutional vision of empowering Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and rural local bodies to plan and implement development programmes suited to local needs.

Strengthening the Foundation of Rural Administration

Rural local bodies play a critical role in delivering essential services such as drinking water supply, sanitation, solid waste management, village roads, and maintenance of community assets. However, limited financial autonomy has often constrained their ability to plan long-term or respond quickly to local challenges. The ₹137 crore allocation is intended to address this gap by providing untied and performance-based support that local institutions can deploy where it is most needed.

The funds will also assist local bodies in meeting operational costs, improving record-keeping, and strengthening administrative systems. This includes support for digital accounting, audit compliance, and transparency mechanisms that improve public trust and governance outcomes.

State-Wise Impact and Regional Balance

The four beneficiary states represent diverse geographic and administrative contexts, ranging from coastal Goa to Himalayan Uttarakhand and the northeastern states of Meghalaya and Sikkim. Each faces unique challenges related to terrain, population density, and access to infrastructure. Finance Commission grants are designed to account for these differences while ensuring equitable development.

For hill and northeastern states, the grants are particularly significant as higher delivery costs and logistical constraints often strain local budgets. The funding enables rural bodies to sustain essential services without compromising on quality or coverage.

Performance-Based Governance Incentives

A key feature of the 15th Finance Commission framework is its emphasis on performance-linked incentives. Local bodies are encouraged to meet benchmarks related to sanitation outcomes, financial discipline, and transparency. This approach aims to shift governance from mere fund utilisation to outcome-oriented administration.

By linking a portion of grants to measurable performance indicators, the Finance Commission seeks to foster accountability while also building institutional capacity over time. Rural bodies that demonstrate effective governance practices stand to benefit from continued and enhanced support in future cycles.

Supporting National Development Goals

The release of ₹137 crore also contributes to broader national objectives such as Swachh Bharat Mission goals, rural infrastructure development, and improved quality of life in villages. Strong local institutions are essential for translating national schemes into tangible outcomes at the ground level.

Decentralised funding allows rural administrations to align central priorities with local realities, ensuring that development interventions are context-sensitive rather than uniform mandates.

A Continuity of Fiscal Federalism

This fund release reflects the ongoing commitment to cooperative fiscal federalism, where states and local governments are treated as partners in development rather than mere implementing agencies. Predictable transfers under the Finance Commission framework help states plan budgets with greater certainty and reduce dependence on ad-hoc allocations.

As rural India continues to evolve, investments in governance capacity are increasingly recognised as foundational rather than supplementary. The ₹137 crore allocation under the 15th Finance Commission reinforces this understanding, placing empowered local institutions at the centre of sustainable rural development.

Faridabad (Haryana) [India], February 20: Behind every destination wedding in India lies a moment that feels small, almost ordinary. It often starts quietly, long before the décor boards and guest lists. Today, destinationweddingsindia.com is transforming that very first step — helping families begin their venue search in a structured, transparent, and organised way.

A family sat around a table. Phone calls from relatives. The dates under discussion, the budgets estimated roughly, and some excitement with fear. Between tradition and aspiration, there is always one question that recurs: where should the wedding be?

Indian Weddings are sentimental, personal, and cultural. To the majority of families, they are a once-in-a-lifetime event with expectation, remembrance, and responsibility. Yet, despite its scale and importance, the process of the wedding location is incoherent, fragmented, and still largely offline.

Word of mouth, a few planners, or fellow agents usually dictate the few safe hotels and destinations to families. Conversations repeat. Options feel limited. And the sense of uncertainty grows, are we even seeing all the possibilities?

This disparity between the significance of weddings and the inefficiency of venue discovery organisation is the core issue in the Indian wedding business.

A Deeply Rooted Industry Challenge

Over time, the process of wedding planning in India has followed the same pattern as the travel industry did: relationship-based, non- transparent, and brokered by a small community of middlemen. The individuals that the families have to rely on the most are the planners or agents, and they are likely to suggest venues that they know well or do business with on a regular basis.

Although these well-known hotels have a regular level of exposure and price power, numerous other equally competent hotels, resorts, boutique hotels, palaces, and heritage properties have been left behind. These hotels might be wedding-ready in all respects, but fail to access demand merely because they are not in the traditional planner circuit.

This translates to fewer options, recurring suggestions, and poor transparency to couples and families. To the hotel, it is a lost opportunity and a crooked playing field.

This disproportion was particularly evident during the first COVID-19 lockdown.

With the background of luxury event planning and hospitality, the team of the destination wedding in India was in a rare standstill. As everything was at a standstill and travel was limited, they got time to step back and look at the ecosystem that they had been working in.

The notable point was not only the disruption posed by the pandemic, but also a greater realisation: wedding venue finding in India was not digitised, discoverable, or fair. There was not a single organised platform on which families were able to search freely, and no neutral platform on which hotels could display themselves without gatekeeping.

To a great extent, weddings are what travel was like more than ten years ago,  before online platforms changed how people planned trips.

The Birth of Destination Weddings India

It is on this basis that Destination Weddings India (destinationweddingsindia.com) was established in 2021 as a technology-driven venue finding and booking application with a specialisation in Indian weddings.

Rather than using the databases or listings solely, the team opted to go ground-up. They started touring the country and visiting numerous hotels, rubbing shoulders with the staff, looking around at the properties, checking capacities, guest traffic, and what actually constitutes a wedding-ready venue in India.

This took them through established wedding destinations and new ones, through luxury resorts, palace hotels, heritage properties, and boutique venues that had the infrastructure but not the visibility.

The purpose was evident: eliminating the concept of gatekeeping in venue discovery and broadening the options among families that organise weddings.

This initiative eventually resulted in the procurement of over 700 wedding-ready hotels and venues in 33 destinations in India. Every property onboarded was not only considered in terms of its beauty, but also in terms of its capability to hold actual weddings, logistically, operationally, and experientially.

From Exploration to Structured Access

Today, this extensive on-ground research is consolidated into one structured digital ecosystem through destinationweddingsindia.com.

To wedding families, the site makes the aspect of venue selection, which is usually the most stressful in the whole planning process, easy. Instead of depending on limited referrals or personal connections, families will be able to locate numerous vetted destinations, budgets, and guest capacities all within a single location.

The experience is aimed at providing clarity. Families are able to compare, assess and shortlist venues that truly meet their vision, whether they are planning a small destination wedding or a large multi-day party.

In the case of hotels, particularly those not in the conventional planner ecosystem, DWI offers a packaged entry to actual wedding demand. Insider connections are no longer the only property consideration. Rather, they can be found by families that are actively seeking out venues, making the marketplace more justified and clear.

By playing on each side of the ecosystem, Destination Weddings India plays a mediator, bringing together wedding-ready hotels and couples and families in a manner that is well organised, fair, and execution ready.

The strategy has seen the platform steadily grow to assist over 2,000 wedding families monthly.

A Clear Focus on Venue Discovery and Booking

Although the Indian wedding ecosystem opens numerous opportunities, Destination Weddings India has chosen a strategic move and consciously decided to specialise in a single service: finding and booking a venue.

This is what the platform is all about: more curation and better hotel relationships, as well as faster and more transparent decision-making by families. DWI does not attempt to resolve all the issues of wedding planning simultaneously, but focuses on getting the basics straight.

The growth story of the platform is based on a definite problem-solution pattern.

The problem

• Wedding venue discovery remains largely offline and biased
• Families see the same venues repeated across planners and agents
• Capable hotels struggle for visibility without network access

The solution

• A digital-first platform dedicated to wedding venues
• Access to 700+ wedding-ready hotels across India
• Broader choice, better transparency, and more equitable pricing

By addressing the structural inefficiencies and not the cosmetic gaps, Destination Weddings India will establish itself not only as a booking platform but also as a provider of long-term change in the industry.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Indian Weddings

Indian weddings are evolving. There is also a trend where couples are choosing to have destination celebrations, experience-based planning, and customised venues that narrate their story.

Guest lists are becoming edited, and the families are seeking transparency, trust, and informed decision-making.

This is a dynamic environment that is necessitating sites like DestinationWeddingsIndia.com.

Having a growing portfolio of hotels, a steady stream of wedding families, and a strong focus on venue discovery, Destination Weddings India is shaping how Indian couples and families explore and book wedding venues, which brings clarity, reach, and equilibrium to an industry traditionally working in closed circles.

New Delhi [India], February 19: Samskrita has long been regarded as a language of depth, precision, and intellectual beauty. Yet for many learners today, the thought of studying it can feel overwhelming. Complex grammar rules, unfamiliar script, and traditional learning styles often create hesitation. At the same time, there is a growing desire among professionals, students, and knowledge seekers to understand classical texts in their original form rather than depend solely on translations. What many learners look for is a clear and structured path—one that respects the rigor of the language while making it approachable.

Vidyasvam has built its teaching philosophy around this very need. Its approach to learning Samskrita combines the classical strength of the Pāṇinian grammatical framework with structured teaching methods suited to modern learners. The result is a program that emphasizes understanding, clarity, and practical application rather than memorization. By focusing on foundations and logical progression, Vidyasvam offers a way to learn Samskrita that feels both disciplined and accessible.

A Foundation Rooted in the Pāṇinian System

At the heart of Vidyasvam’s methodology lies the Pāṇinian grammatical tradition. Pāṇini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī is widely recognized for presenting one of the most systematic frameworks for any natural language. Rather than approaching Samskrita as a collection of isolated rules and vocabulary lists, Vidyasvam organizes learning around the underlying principles that hold the language together.

Students are introduced to core elements such as varṇa, prakṛti, pratyaya, sandhi, and kāraka theory in a logical sequence. Each concept builds upon the previous one, enabling learners to see how words are formed, how forms change according to grammatical rules, and how meaning emerges from structure. This systematic framework reduces confusion and replaces guesswork with clarity.

Instead of memorizing lengthy tables without context, learners understand why certain forms exist and how they are derived. This approach strengthens comprehension and lays the foundation for independent study later on.

Building Strong Grammar Before Textual Reading

One of the distinguishing aspects of Vidyasvam’s program is its emphasis on grammar before textual exploration. While many learners are eager to begin reading verses immediately, Vidyasvam ensures that a solid grammatical base is established first. This preparation allows students to approach texts with confidence rather than uncertainty.

By mastering structural concepts early, learners develop the ability to analyze sentences methodically. They begin to identify roots, understand suffixes, dissolve sandhis, and recognize grammatical relationships within a verse. When textual reading begins, students are no longer intimidated because they possess the tools required for proper interpretation.

This step-by-step progression prevents learners from feeling lost midway through their journey. Instead, they experience a steady build-up of competence.

Integrating Modern Teaching Tools

Although rooted in tradition, Vidyasvam uses contemporary teaching tools to support understanding. Presentations, diagrams, mind maps, and structured learning materials are used to break down complex concepts into manageable sections. Visual aids play an important role in helping learners see connections between rules.

For online participants, recordings of sessions provide flexibility and the opportunity for revision. Learners can revisit challenging topics and reinforce their understanding at their own pace. Regular quizzes encourage active learning and ensure that grammar rules are applied rather than passively absorbed.

Interactive sessions further enhance engagement. Learners are encouraged to ask questions, discuss interpretations, and clarify doubts in a supportive environment. This balance between traditional content and modern delivery methods helps maintain clarity throughout the program.

Emphasis on Application Through Classical Texts

Learning grammar in isolation can feel abstract. Vidyasvam addresses this by integrating application into the course design. Once foundational knowledge has been established, students begin applying concepts to classical texts, especially selections from Vālmīki’s Rāmāyaṇa.

Through guided analysis, learners practice breaking down compound words, identifying kārakas, dissolving sandhis, and arranging words in anvaya to grasp meaning correctly. This practical application deepens understanding and reveals how grammar operates in real literary contexts.

The experience of analyzing a verse independently builds confidence. Students move beyond translating word by word and begin understanding structure and intent. This transition marks a significant turning point in their learning journey.

Designed for Modern Learners

Vidyasvam’s structured approach is particularly well-suited to professionals and students from analytical backgrounds. Many participants come from fields such as engineering, sciences, medicine, academia, and management. The logic-based structure of Pāṇinian grammar resonates strongly with those accustomed to systematic thinking.

At the same time, the course remains accessible to dedicated beginners. Participants are expected to read Devanagari, possess basic English proficiency, and approach learning with commitment and regular practice. The program encourages discipline but does not assume prior mastery.

Because sessions are organized in a consistent weekly format, learners can balance the course alongside professional and personal responsibilities. This practicality makes sustained learning possible.

Mentoring and Peer Engagement

Beyond formal instruction, Vidyasvam emphasizes mentoring and peer interaction. Discussion groups allow learners to exchange perspectives and clarify understanding collectively. Often, explaining a concept to another student reinforces one’s own comprehension.

Mentors guide learners through difficult sections, offering steady support. This shared journey reduces isolation and builds a community of learners who are collectively invested in the study of Samskrita.

Such an environment encourages persistence. Learning a classical language demands patience, and the presence of mentors and peers helps sustain motivation.

Guidance from an Interdisciplinary Scholar

The program is led by Dr. Sridhar Subbanna, whose academic journey spans computer science and Samskrita scholarship. His doctoral research explores parallels between Pāṇini’s grammatical system and modern computational ideas. This interdisciplinary perspective shapes his structured teaching methodology.

His explanations are grounded in logic and clarity, reflecting both traditional training and contemporary understanding. Students often find that his systematic approach demystifies complex sutras and makes them approachable.

This balance of traditional depth and analytical clarity supports learners throughout the course.

Progressive Skill Development

Vidyasvam’s structured progression ensures that learning does not remain theoretical. Students move from understanding basic grammatical units to performing detailed textual analysis. Each stage builds toward the larger goal of independent reading.

Gradually, learners begin recognizing patterns intuitively. Grammar no longer appears as a maze of rules but as a coherent structure. As confidence increases, the language feels less intimidating and more accessible.

By the end of the program, students are better equipped to pursue advanced Samskrita studies or explore classical literature on their own.

Conclusion

Inside Vidyasvam’s structured approach to learning Samskrita lies a careful balance between tradition and clarity. The program respects the rigor of Pāṇinian grammar while organizing content in a way that modern learners can absorb steadily. By combining foundational training, guided application, modern tools, and mentoring support, Vidyasvam creates a learning pathway that is disciplined yet approachable.

For those who wish to move beyond surface familiarity and engage deeply with Samskrita, a structured method can make all the difference. Vidyasvam’s approach demonstrates that with clarity, consistency, and logical progression, learning this classical language can be both meaningful and achievable.

New Delhi [India], February 17: In one of a kind event, leading Neurosurgeons and spine specialists Dr. Amit Joshi & Dr. Amit Bhardwaj came together today to discuss the growing burden of brain and spine disorders and how rapid advancements in surgical techniques are transforming patient outcomes. The expert-led interaction focused on early symptom recognition, evolving treatment options, and the shift from traditional open surgeries to minimally invasive and technology-enabled procedures.

Opening the medical session, experts highlighted the importance of recognizing early warning signs of brain and spine conditions such as persistent back pain, weakness, numbness, imbalance, chronic headaches, and changes in speech or vision. Early consultation and timely diagnosis, they emphasized, can significantly improve treatment success and quality of life.

The panel discussed a wide range of treatment options available today, including conservative management, minimally invasive spine surgery, and advanced brain surgery techniques. Specialists explained that treatment decisions are highly individualized and depend on the patient’s condition, overall health, and disease severity.

Speaking on the evolution of spine surgery, the experts noted a clear shift from traditional open procedures to minimally invasive approaches that reduce tissue damage, blood loss, hospital stay, and recovery time. The integration of advanced imaging and navigation technologies has further enhanced surgical precision and safety.

Addressing advancements in brain surgery, the speakers highlighted how navigation-guided and endoscopic techniques allow surgeons to operate with greater accuracy while minimizing risk to critical brain structures. These innovations have contributed to improved outcomes, faster recovery, and better overall patient experience.

The session concluded with an interactive media discussion, where experts reiterated the importance of patient education, safety, and informed decision-making. While advanced technologies have expanded treatment possibilities, the doctors stressed that not every patient requires surgery and that expert evaluation remains essential.

This initiative aims to raise public awareness about brain and spine health and empower patients to seek timely medical advice.

New Delhi [India], February 17: Infosys and Anthropic have announced a strategic partnership that could alter how real businesses embrace AI beyond demos and hype. It is centered on plain truth: enterprise AI solutions that handle real work in the real world — regulated, messy, multi-step processes with audit trails and compliance built in.

This is not about chatbots spitting out answers. It is about AI agents that perform actions. Complex actions. Important actions across telecommunications, finance, manufacturing, and software development. These environments involve compliance rules, legacy systems, multiple handoffs, and the need for real operational value.

AI Solutions in the Enterprise Are Not Optional Anymore

Do you remember when “enterprise AI solutions” meant throwing a chatbot at customer service and calling it digital transformation? Those days are over. Businesses now want AI that executes workflows, troubleshoots compliance issues, accelerates software delivery, and keeps governance and transparency as non-negotiables.

What Infosys and Anthropic have signed up for is a calculated escalation. Infosys brings engineering scale and deep domain expertise. Anthropic brings its Claude models, Claude Code, and agent tooling that, until recently, lived mostly in buzzword territory. The aim is to merge these strengths into AI solutions that actually operate within real regulatory guardrails.

First Stop Telecom

The first battlefield for these enterprise AI solutions is telecommunications — one of the most complex, regulated, and legacy-heavy industries on the planet. Infosys and Anthropic are establishing an Anthropic Center of Excellence dedicated to building and deploying customized AI agents for network operations, customer lifecycle management, and service delivery.

Let’s be blunt. Network operations have been a manual nightmare grinding on for decades. If an AI agent can reliably handle ticketing, provisioning, and compliance checks without tripping over regulatory red tape, that alone is a major win. This is where the rubber meets the road. Any telco engineer will tell you that.

Enterprise AI Solutions for Regulated Industries

Infosys and Anthropic are not stopping at telecom. They are taking their AI agent playbook into other regulated sectors.

Financial Services

Here, the focus is on automating risk detection, compliance reporting, and even personalized interactions. Imagine AI agents scanning millions of compliance rules and years of client history without missing a beat or violating regulatory requirements. Banks and asset managers demand speed, precision, and auditability. These solutions are designed to deliver exactly that.

Engineering and Manufacturing

Product design and simulation are often constrained by long iteration cycles. Claude-powered AI agents are expected to accelerate simulations and R&D workflows, allowing engineers to spend more time on innovation and less on rework.

Software Development

With Claude Code already in use internally at Infosys, the goal is to automate not only code writing but also testing and debugging. The result is faster development cycles and more efficient delivery. That is not buzz. That is leverage.

What Makes This Real

This is the detail most press releases gloss over. These are not one-off AI demos. They are agentic systems designed to operate across entire business workflows, not simply respond to prompts. Showing AI completing a task in a video is one thing. Embedding it into systems with compliance, audit trails, error handling, and governance intact is something else entirely.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has put it plainly: there is a real difference between AI that works in a demo and AI that works in a regulated industry. Infosys, with decades of enterprise and vertical experience, aims to bridge that gap.

Why India Matters

India is not just hosting this announcement. It is central to the story. It is home to Infosys and one of the world’s largest pools of engineering and developer talent. Claude usage in India already leans heavily toward production workloads such as system modernization and software delivery, not casual experimentation. India’s AI story is already unfolding in real environments.

Not Just Efficiency Transformation

Efficiency gains are useful. But what Infosys and Anthropic are really positioning is enterprise operating model transformation powered by AI. That means rethinking legacy processes, automating compliance-heavy tasks, and embedding intelligent automation deep into core business operations at scale.

If this approach succeeds at scale, it will not be incremental automation. It will be a redefinition of how large, complex industries operate with AI at the center.

The Real Test

Make no mistake. Delivering AI solutions that function in controlled environments is one thing. Deploying them into highly regulated, complex operations is another. The proof will be in execution — real deployments, measurable outcomes, compliance alignment, and tangible business impact. No pressure.

Even if a portion of this initiative delivers on its promise, it could mark a defining moment for Indian engineering and the real adoption of enterprise AI.

New Delhi [India], February 17: The world has never seen wealth at this scale. As of February 17, 2026, Elon Musk has reached an estimated net worth of $850 billion, the highest personal fortune ever recorded.

What Will Elon Musk Be Worth in 2026?

As of February 17, 2026, Elon Musk is the richest person ever recorded, with an estimated net worth of $850 billion. This valuation milestone is largely driven by the $1.25 trillion SpaceX–xAI merger, sustained equity value from space and technology ventures, and the reinstatement of long-term, performance-based Tesla stock options.

Key Takeaways

• Elon Musk’s net worth reached $850 billion in February 2026, the highest in history

• The largest contributor is the SpaceX–xAI merger, valued at $1.25 trillion

• Tesla stock options worth approximately $139 billion were reinstated following a Delaware Supreme Court ruling

• Tesla’s market capitalization remains near $1.57 trillion, strengthening Musk’s equity base

• Despite the record valuation, less than 0.1 percent of Musk’s wealth is held in cash

What Was the Effect of the SpaceX xAI Merger on Musk’s Wealth?

The single largest contributor to Musk’s record net worth was the February 2, 2026 merger between SpaceX and xAI. The combined entity was valued at $1.25 trillion, placing it among the most valuable privately held companies globally.

Elon Musk’s estimated 43 percent ownership stake in the merged company carries a paper value of approximately $542 billion. Analysts note that the merger significantly reshaped Musk’s wealth profile, increasing exposure to aerospace infrastructure, satellite services, and artificial intelligence platforms, rather than consumer-facing automotive products.

The transaction is widely viewed as a structural consolidation of Musk’s long-term strategy, integrating advanced AI development with space-based data, communications, and launch capabilities under a single corporate umbrella.

What Role Did the Tesla Compensation Ruling Play?

Another major contributor to Musk’s net worth increase was the December 19, 2025 decision by the Delaware Supreme Court, which reinstated his 2018 Tesla compensation package.

The ruling restored stock options valued at approximately $139 billion, removing earlier legal uncertainty surrounding the incentive plan. The compensation structure, tied to market capitalization growth and operational milestones, is widely regarded as one of the largest performance-based executive pay packages ever approved.

Legal observers describe the decision as a landmark moment in corporate governance, reinforcing the enforceability of long-term, shareholder-approved compensation frameworks in founder-led companies.

What Share Does Tesla Have in Musk’s 2026 Fortune?

Despite increased diversification, Tesla remains a core pillar of Musk’s financial profile.

As of February 13, 2026:

• Tesla market capitalization: approximately $1.57 trillion

• Musk ownership stake: about 12 percent

• Equity value: roughly $178 billion

• Additional stock options: approximately $124 billion

Combined, Tesla-related holdings account for over $300 billion of Musk’s total net worth. While Tesla represents a smaller proportion of his wealth than in earlier years, its scale and liquidity continue to provide a stabilizing foundation.

How Does Elon musk 2026 Net Worth Compare With 2024?

The pace of Musk’s wealth growth between 2024 and 2026 is unprecedented in history.

The increase reflects valuation expansion rather than cash realization, underscoring the role of concentrated ownership in high-growth technology platforms. Analysts emphasize that this surge represents a re-rating of long-term assets rather than a rise in liquid wealth.

Is Elon Musk on Track to Become the World’s First Trillionaire?

Prediction markets such as Kalshi currently assign a 75 percent probability that Musk will become the world’s first trillionaire before the end of 2026.

Market observers identify a potential SpaceX initial public offering, with speculative valuations reaching $1.5 trillion, as a possible catalyst. Musk has consistently clarified, however, that his wealth is largely illiquid.

Estimates suggest less than 0.1 percent of his net worth is held in liquid cash, highlighting the distinction between paper wealth and deployable capital.

What Is Structurally Different About Elon Musk Wealth?

Unlike traditional billionaires who diversify across liquid assets, Musk’s fortune is highly concentrated in a small number of transformative companies. This concentration magnifies both upside potential and exposure to valuation volatility.

Economists note that Musk’s financial profile reflects a broader shift in global wealth creation, where platform dominance, private-market valuations, and founder equity control increasingly outweigh dividend income or asset sales.

Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], February 17: As Artificial Intelligence increasingly shapes everyday life, questions around its environmental and social footprint are moving into the mainstream. At the Youth Eco Summit 2026, these concerns were explored through a convergence of cultural influencers, policymakers, and young voices highlighting the growing need for accountability in the age of rapid technological advancement. Organised by the Bajaj Foundation, brought together with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, UNICEF YuWaah, and TECNO, the Youth Eco Summit brought together students from 66 cities across India, positioning youth at the centre of discussions on sustainability, accountability, and technological impact.

The summit saw participation from Environmentalist and Model Milind Soman, Actor Rohit Saraf, and UNDP India Youth Champion and Actor Sanjana Sanghi, who together unpacked the challenges, responsibilities, and opportunities emerging from the rise of Artificial Intelligence. Their presence brought a cultural lens to conversations traditionally dominated by policy and technology, reinforcing the idea that responsible innovation must resonate beyond boardrooms and institutions.

Adding a leadership perspective from the technology industry, Arijeet Talapatra, CEO of TECNO Mobile India, spoke about the responsibility that accompanies access to advanced technology. He noted that purpose-driven applications of AI have the potential to address environmental challenges, reduce waste, and encourage more sustainable lifestyles—emphasising that innovation must be guided by intent, not excess.

Policy and civic engagement perspectives were reinforced by Seep Agrawal, Lead – Civic Engagement at UNICEF YuWaah, who highlighted the importance of collaboration between youth, institutions, and cultural voices. She stressed that meaningful change occurs when young people are treated as collaborators in solution-building, rather than passive participants in dialogue.

The summit experience extended beyond panel discussions through the Green Education and Knowledge Lawn, which featured interactive zones such as Waste Reimagined, the TECNO Knowledge Walk, the TECNO AI Meme Studio, and the E-Waste Pledge Booth. These spaces translated complex sustainability challenges into tangible, experiential learning moments. At the TECNO AI Meme Studio, students explored themes of green coding, energy-conscious algorithms, and the often-overlooked resource demands of digital consumption. Using memes as a medium, participants transformed technical ideas into accessible narratives that resonated with their peers.

Offering a global perspective, Viransh Bhanshali, Chief of Staff at the Oxford Union, spoke about the convergence of technology, policy, and civic action, emphasising that emerging technologies must evolve alongside accountability frameworks to create lasting impact.

Concluding the summit, Pankaj Bajaj, Director of the Bajaj Foundation, underscored that the presence of students was driven by intent rather than obligation. He remarked that the real outcome of the Youth Eco Summit would be determined by whether the ideas discussed translate into action—choices that will ultimately shape the future.

New Delhi [India], February 17: The way people discover brands is changing faster than most businesses have caught up with. Search queries that once sent users clicking through 10 blue links are now answered within AI chatbots, Google’s AI Overviews, and tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity, often without a single website visit.

SchemaNinja.com, the platform originally built by AI SEO Expert in India Jitendra Vaswani as a WordPress schema markup plugin back in 2016, has relaunched as an AI-powered content marketing agency designed to help small and mid-sized businesses show up where it actually matters in 2026: inside the answers generated by large language models.

The pivot addresses a problem that is growing more urgent by the month. According to industry data published by Semrush in 2025, AI-generated search results are steadily eating into traditional organic traffic. Zero-click search queries, where the user never visits a destination website, now account for a massive share of all search activity. For brands that built their entire customer acquisition strategy on Google rankings, the ground is shifting fast.

SchemaNinja.com is positioning itself as the agency that helps those brands adapt before the traffic dries up.

From Plugin to Platform: How SchemaNinja Got Here

The SchemaNinja story stretches back nearly a decade. Vaswani launched the original product in 2016 as a WordPress plugin that automated structured data markup, the behind-the-scenes code that helps search engines understand what a webpage is actually about. The plugin gained solid traction, generating consistent sales and building a niche reputation among WordPress users focused on technical SEO.

But Vaswani saw the bigger picture forming. Schema markup was not just a tool for earning rich snippets in Google results anymore. Structured data has become a core signal for large language models when deciding which sources to trust, cite, and surface in their responses. The same technical foundation SchemaNinja was built turned out to be one of the most important ingredients for visibility in an AI-first search world.

That realization pushed the evolution from a standalone plugin into a full-service content marketing operation. The agency now employs a creative team led by Vaswani as CEO, with Diksha heading content management and Aishwar serving as CMO. Together, they run campaigns that span content strategy, blog creation, social media content, SEO optimization, email marketing, and critically the kind of schema integration and entity optimization that gives AI models a reason to reference a brand when someone asks a question.

What LLM Optimization Actually Means for a Small Business

The concept goes by several names right now. Some people call it AI Optimization, or AIO. Others use LLM Optimization, LLMO, or Generative Engine Optimization, GEO. Regardless of the label, the core idea is the same: structuring your brand’s digital footprint so that AI systems recognize you as a credible, authoritative source worth citing.

This is not a small technical tweak. It requires rethinking how content gets created, organized, and distributed. AI models do not rank pages the way Google’s traditional algorithm does. They synthesize information from across the web drawing on reviews, media coverage, directory citations, blog posts, and structured data to build a picture of which brands merit mention in a given context. If your digital presence is thin, inconsistent, or poorly structured, you simply get skipped.

SchemaNinja’s approach tackles this at every layer. The agency conducts a deep audit of a client’s existing digital footprint, identifies gaps in entity signals and content authority, and then builds a sustained content engine designed to fill those gaps. Blog posts are written with natural language processing in mind, not just keyword density. Schema markup is woven into every page to enable AI crawlers to parse the content efficiently. And the whole operation is tracked through analytics that measure not just traditional rankings but actual AI citation frequency.

“If a brand’s digital footprint is not optimized for large language models, that brand risks being invisible in this new economy,” said Jitendra Vaswani, CEO of SchemaNinja.com. “We are past the point where SEO means stuffing keywords and chasing backlinks. The game now is about building the kind of structured, authoritative presence that AI systems trust enough to recommend.”

How the Platform Works

The newly introduced system combines structured data architecture, entity mapping, and contextual reinforcement signals to improve how AI systems interpret brand content.

Key capabilities include:

• AI-readable content structuring

• Entity-based topic authority building

• Semantic internal linking recommendations

• Content clarity optimization for AI summaries

• Rich snippet and schema deployment automation

• Authority reinforcement across digital platforms

The goal is not just to rank higher but to become a trusted source referenced by AI systems when generating answers.

Solving a Growing Visibility Problem

Many publishers are reporting declining click-through rates despite maintaining strong rankings. The reason: users increasingly rely on AI-generated summaries.

SchemaNinja addresses this by aligning content with how language models retrieve and synthesize information.

According to the company, brands must now optimize for three layers:

1. Search engine indexing

2. Knowledge graph understanding

3. LLM answer inclusion

Most existing SEO tools only handle the first layer.

A New Category: LLM Optimization

The company describes its approach as LLM Optimization (LLMO),  an evolution beyond traditional SEO.

Rather than focusing solely on keywords or backlinks, LLMO emphasizes:

• contextual authority

• entity relationships

• informational completeness

• answer-ready formatting

This allows AI systems to confidently reference a brand as a source rather than ignoring it.

Pricing Built for the Businesses That Need This Most

One deliberate choice the SchemaNinja team made was to keep pricing accessible. The entry level Schema Ninja Content Package starts at $1,200 per month and includes content strategy, blog creation, social media content, SEO optimization, email marketing setup, and monthly reporting. The Premium Content and Schema Package runs $2,400 per month and adds advanced schema markup, technical SEO audits, video content creation, landing page optimization, A/B testing, and biweekly strategy calls.

That pricing reflects the agency’s stated mission of democratizing access to AI-powered marketing tools. Large enterprises with six figure agency retainers have already started adapting to the LLM shift. SchemaNinja wants to make sure small businesses and startups are not locked out of that transition simply because they cannot afford enterprise-level budgets.

Why This Matters Right Now

The window for brands to establish themselves as trusted sources within AI models is open, but it will not stay open indefinitely. As more businesses begin optimizing for LLMs, the early movers will have a compounding advantage — their content will already be embedded in the training data and retrieval pipelines that AI systems rely on. Brands that wait risk playing catch up against competitors who locked in their authority signals months or years earlier.

SchemaNinja.com is betting that the businesses that act now will be the ones AI recommends tomorrow.

Brands ready to explore how AI-powered content marketing and LLM optimization can reshape their visibility can visit SchemaNinja.com to schedule a consultation and get started.

New Delhi [India], February 17: Vast, the company developing next-generation space stations, has signed an order with NASA for the sixth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, targeted to launch no earlier than summer 2027 from Florida. It is Vast’s first private astronaut mission to the space station in partnership with NASA.

“Vast is honored to have been selected by NASA for the sixth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station,” said Max Haot, CEO of Vast. “Leveraging the remaining life of the International Space Station with science and research-led commercial crewed missions is a critical part of the transition to commercial space stations and fully unlocking the orbital economy.”

The Vast private astronaut mission crew is expected to spend up to 14 days aboard the space station. A specific launch date will depend on overall spacecraft traffic at the orbital outpost and other planning considerations. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will launch the crew on a Dragon spacecraft to the space station as previously announced.

The mission will generate invaluable insights into the infrastructure and processes required for Vast to safely accomplish human spaceflight missions. The mission supports deeper collaboration with NASA and international space agencies in addition to strengthening Vast’s position as a candidate to deliver its proposed successor to the space station, the multi-module, continuously crewed Haven-2.

Vast is planning a robust science and research portfolio with a focus on biology and biotechnology, physical sciences, human research, and technology demonstrations for the mission. Last year, Vast announced a call for research proposals for a potential PAM mission. In addition, Vast’s current agreement with CASIS will enable increased throughput of high-quality science that aligns with its science strategy.

To submit a research proposal for consideration, visit: https://www.vastspace.com/science-rfp-eligibility.

About Vast

Vast is developing next-generation space stations to ensure continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and unlocking a new space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Using an incremental, hardware-rich and low-cost approach, Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station. Haven Demo’s 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft. Next, Haven-1 is expected to become the world’s first commercial space station when it launches in 2027, followed by additional Haven modules to enable permanent human presence by 2030.

With more than 1,000 employees at its Long Beach, California headquarters and over a billion dollars in private capital invested, Vast has built the facilities required to manufacture and operate America’s next space station. The company plans to develop future habitats for the Moon and Mars, dedicated space stations for government partners, and other crewed systems that will unlock the expanding long-term space economy.

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], February 16: Shree Guru Gobind Singh Tricentenary University (SGT University), Gurugram, through its Scholars’ Council, successfully organised the Scholarship Distribution Ceremony on its campus. The event was held to recognise and reward deserving students, reaffirming the university’s commitment towards promoting academic excellence and making quality education accessible for all.

The ceremony was graced by Prof. Deepti Dharmani, Vice Chancellor, Chaudhary Bansi Lal University, Bhiwani, as the Chief Guest, and Saumya Singh, Software Engineer, Educator, and TEDx Speaker, as the Guest of Honour.

Prof. (Dr.) Hemant Verma, Vice Chancellor, SGT University, in his inaugural address said, “Scholarships are not merely a reward for academic performance, but a responsibility we take to nurture dreams, encourage perseverance, and empower students to build a brighter future for themselves and society.

During the ceremony, scholarships were awarded to meritorious students, including those from economically weaker sections, providing them with financial support and motivation to pursue their academic goals without limitations.

Saumya Singh, while offering advice to the students, said, “While we may choose different career paths, the ultimate goal for most of us is a stable and fulfilling life. To achieve our dreams, money plays an important role, but what truly creates opportunities is strong communication skills and a solid digital presence. In today’s era, the way you express yourself and present your thoughts can take you to great heights.”

Expressing gratitude, one of the scholarship recipients shared, “This scholarship is not just financial support for me, it is a symbol of hope and encouragement. I am truly grateful to SGT University for believing in my potential and giving me the confidence to dream bigger and work harder.”

New Delhi [India], February 12: The Union Budget 2025–26 presents a broad-based growth roadmap aimed at strengthening India’s manufacturing ecosystem, empowering MSMEs, accelerating rural development, and easing the tax burden on citizens. With a clear focus on productivity, innovation, and financial inclusion, the budget outlines reforms designed to support India’s journey towards becoming a self-reliant and globally competitive economy.

A major thrust has been placed on agriculture and rural development, with initiatives to improve crop resilience, enhance productivity, and boost farmers’ access to institutional credit. Measures such as the National Mission on High Yielding Seeds, targeted programmes for cotton and pulses, and expanded Kisan Credit Card limits are expected to strengthen farm incomes and support allied industries linked to rural consumption.

The MSME sector emerges as a key beneficiary, with revised classification norms, improved access to credit through customised financial products, and a dedicated scheme to support first-time entrepreneurs, including women and individuals from marginalised communities. Special attention to labour-intensive sectors such as footwear, leather, and toys is expected to generate employment and strengthen domestic manufacturing.

Investments in human capital also feature prominently. The budget proposes large-scale expansion of Atal Tinkering Labs in government schools, a significant increase in medical education seats, strengthened urban health infrastructure through district-level cancer care centres, and enhanced support for street vendors through a revamped PM SVANidhi scheme.

Urban infrastructure and connectivity have received renewed momentum through initiatives such as the Urban Challenge Fund, extension of the Jal Jeevan Mission, expansion of the UDAN regional aviation scheme, and the creation of a Maritime Development Fund to support long-term financing in the sector.

Research, innovation, and digital transformation form another cornerstone of the budget, with a ₹20,000 crore push for private sector-led R&D, the launch of a National Geospatial Mission, and focused investments in artificial intelligence education and advanced research fellowships.

Significant reforms have also been announced in personal income tax and financial services. Enhanced deductions for senior citizens, higher thresholds for TDS on rent, and proposals under the upcoming Income Tax Bill aim to simplify compliance and provide greater certainty to taxpayers. In the financial sector, increased FDI limits in insurance, a revamped Central KYC Registry, and a new Grameen Credit Score framework are expected to deepen financial inclusion.

Export growth has been addressed through initiatives such as BharatTradeNet, improved access to export credit, and upgraded air cargo infrastructure to support high-value and perishable exports.

On the fiscal front, the government has reiterated its commitment to discipline, targeting a fiscal deficit of 4.4 per cent of GDP while continuing to support states through interest-free loans for infrastructure development and rationalising customs duties to improve ease of doing business.

Overall, Budget 2025–26 sets out a balanced and forward-looking agenda that aligns fiscal prudence with growth imperatives. By combining structural reforms with targeted investments, the budget seeks to strengthen India’s economic foundations while creating opportunities for businesses, entrepreneurs, and citizens alike.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 12: Despite advancements in personal hygiene, millions of women worldwide continue to battle a silent, recurring cycle: the Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). While traditional treatments focus on surface-level bacteria, new scientific insights are pointing toward a much more resilient enemy—Bacterial Biofilms.

Recent studies published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) suggest that up to 80% of chronic infections are associated with biofilms. Unlike free-floating bacteria that are easily flushed out or killed by standard antibiotics, biofilms are complex, “mushroom-shaped” communities of bacteria that anchor themselves to the bladder lining.

“The intimate hygiene industry has long emphasized maintaining pH balance and eliminating surface bacteria. While these are important factors, this approach primarily addresses the planktonic, or free-floating, bacterial state,” says the founder of Hempnation and the Neuriva Life Sciences brand, which specializes in neurocosmetics. “It does not effectively target the root cause of recurrence: the structured, resilient bacterial communities known as biofilms that adhere to the uroepithelial lining.”

This “biofilm problem” explains why many women experience a temporary reprieve after treatment, only to have the infection flare up weeks later. When the biofilm matures, it periodically releases a new wave of bacteria into the system, restarting the infection cycle.

Standard intimate hygiene products often focus solely on pH balance and surface cleaning. While these are important, they fail to penetrate the protective “Extracellular Polymeric Substance” (EPS) matrix that keeps biofilms intact.

To address this gap, Hempnation is leading a shift toward Biofilm Management. By moving beyond simple surface surfactants, their approach involves disrupting the attachment phase of bacteria and preventing the formation of these protective shields. Their latest innovation, the Daily Defense Wash for Intimate Hygiene, is formulated to maintain a healthy microbiome while specifically addressing the root causes of bacterial recurrence. Discover more about their science-backed formulations at www.hempnation.in.

As awareness grows, experts suggest that the future of women’s health lies in this “biofilm-aware” approach—moving away from temporary fixes and toward long-term biological solutions that address the root cause of recurrence.

About Hempnation: Hempnation is a research-driven wellness brand under Neuriva Life Sciences, dedicated to solving chronic hygiene issues through the lens of modern microbiology and neurocosmetics. For more information on the science of biofilms and intimate health, visit www.hempnation.in.

The men in the Epstein files had every resource on Earth. They built AI that exploits. A man from the slums had nothing. He built AI that serves. That’s not coincidence. That’s causation.

New Delhi [India], February 10: Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, explains how he rose from rags to riches in this inspirational piece.

THE INVENTORY OF PRIVILEGE

Let’s take inventory of what the men in the Epstein files had.

Collectively, the tech figures documented across 3.5 million pages of DOJ files controlled more wealth than most nations. They had private islands, private jets, private chefs, private security, and private access to every institution on Earth. They had Ivy League educations, tenured professorships, endowed chairs, and research labs with budgets larger than some countries’ GDP. They had teams of lawyers, fleets of lobbyists, and direct lines to heads of state. They attended dinners where the guest list read like the Forbes billionaire index. They had Edge Foundation galas at TED. They had Palo Alto supper clubs. They had everything.

And with all of that, they could not build AI that gives a damn about the people it affects.

Instead they built AI that surveils without consent, amplifies disinformation for engagement, entrenches racial bias in hiring algorithms, manipulates children’s attention for ad revenue, extracts personal data as a business model, and when caught, issues a press release about “responsible innovation.” They discussed eugenics over email with a sex trafficker. They attended post-conviction dinners and called it networking. They built the most consequential technology in human history with the moral depth of a spreadsheet.

They had islands. They had billions. They had everything except the one thing that matters.

They had no virtue. And it shows in every algorithm they ship.

THE INVENTORY OF NOTHING

Now take inventory of what Shekhar Natarajan had.

One room. Eight people. No electricity. No running water. No connections. No safety net. A father earning $1.75 a month on a bicycle. A brother with untreated bipolar disorder. A school system that said no. A street light.

His mother had nothing except the refusal to accept the word no. She stood outside a headmaster’s office for 365 days. When they finally let her son in, she had nothing left to pay the fees except a silver wedding toe ring. Thirty rupees. She gave it without hesitation.

“That ring was the first piece of code in my life. It taught me that the most valuable thing you can move is hope.” — Natarajan

The boy studied under the street light. He arrived in America with fifty dollars. He slept in his car. He worked five jobs. He faced deportation. He mailed a movie résumé to a stranger at Coca-Cola and got hired with two weeks left on his visa. Over twenty-five years, he transformed logistics at six of the world’s largest corporations. He filed 300 patents. He grew Walmart’s grocery business from $30 million to $5 billion. He took his father off life support and slept in his car for two weeks afterward. In 2020, his son Vishnu was born with his father’s face, and he made a promise: I won’t leave behind one angel. I’ll leave a million.

He walked away from the corner offices. He founded Orchestro.AI. He built Angelic Intelligence—the world’s first virtue-native AI.

Not ethical AI. Not responsible AI. Not AI with an ethics board and a white paper and a Chief Trust Officer who attended the right dinners. Virtue-native AI. AI where morality is not a constraint applied to an optimization engine. AI where virtue is the engine itself.

WHY “NOTHING” BUILT BETTER AI

This is not a feel-good story about overcoming poverty. This is a causal argument about why the most consequential technology in the world must be built by people whose moral formation happened in places like the slums of Hyderabad—not at billionaire dinner tables in Palo Alto.

The billionaires had everything, so they learned that rules are negotiable. When you have enough money, enough lawyers, enough connections, you learn that consequences are for other people. You learn that a criminal conviction at your dinner table is a social complexity, not a moral disqualification. You learn that ethics is something you fund, not something you practice. That moral formation produced the AI we have today: systems that optimize for the powerful and externalize harm to the powerless.

Natarajan had nothing, so he learned that virtue is structural. When you have no money, no electricity, no connections, and no margin for error, you learn that character is not optional—it is the only infrastructure you have. You learn that a woman standing outside a door for 365 days is an engineering solution. You learn that a man giving away his wages on a bicycle is a logistics philosophy. You learn that a silver toe ring is a financial instrument. You learn that the system must be moral because you cannot afford the consequences when it isn’t.

And because Natarajan crossed worlds—Hyderabad to Georgia Tech, Coca-Cola to Disney to Walmart, Hindu moral traditions to Western corporate governance, supply chains spanning six continents—he learned something else: virtue expresses differently in different cultures, but dignity is universal. A Compassion Agent in Hyderabad weights decisions differently than a Compassion Agent in Helsinki. The virtue is the same. The expression is configured. That’s not relativism. That’s intelligence. Real intelligence. The kind you cannot build inside a monoculture that thinks ethics is a PDF.

“They had every resource on Earth and built AI that exploits. I had a street light and a toe ring and built AI that serves. That’s not irony. That’s causation. Virtue isn’t born in comfort. It’s born in consequence. The slums taught me what Stanford never could: if your system isn’t moral, people die.” — Natarajan

VIRTUE-NATIVE: WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS

Here is the technical distinction that separates Angelic Intelligence from everything else:

Bolt-on ethics (Silicon Valley model): Build the optimization engine. Ship it. Hire an ethics team. Audit. Publish a report. Apologize when caught. Repeat. The ethics layer is a constraint on the system. It slows the system down. It fights the system. The system is designed to optimize; the ethics layer is designed to say not so fast. This is why it always loses. The optimization engine has a profit motive. The ethics team has a PowerPoint.

Virtue-native AI (Angelic Intelligence): Virtue is the computational architecture. Twenty-seven Virtue Agents—Compassion, Transparency, Humility, Temperance, Forgiveness, Justice, Prudence, Courage, and more—are the decision-making layer. They don’t audit decisions after they’re made. They are the decisions. The Compassion Agent doesn’t review a routing choice. The Compassion Agent is the routing choice. The virtue layer doesn’t slow the system down. It is the system.

And the virtues are configurable. Because Natarajan understands—from lived experience across continents, not from a seminar—that compassion in a Mumbai supply chain and compassion in a Stockholm fulfillment center express differently. The Virtue Agents are calibrated to local moral realities while preserving universal dignity. This is not cultural relativism. This is moral engineering at scale. It requires understanding cultures. Not just studying them. Living them.

“Silicon Valley’s ethical AI is a checklist written by people who’ve only lived in one moral universe. Angelic Intelligence is a configurable architecture built by someone who grew up in a slum, crossed oceans, built systems on six continents, and understands that virtue is universal but its expression is radically local. That’s not a feature. That’s the foundation. If your AI can’t configure for cultural context, it’s not ethical. It’s colonial.” — Natarajan

THE SOUND BITES

Clip these. Post them. Send them to every AI ethics panel on Earth:

“They had islands. I had a street light. They built AI in their image—optimized, extractive, and morally empty. I built AI in my mother’s image—patient, sacrificial, and virtue-native. The Epstein files are the character reference for their AI. My mother’s 365 days is the character reference for mine.”

“Ethical AI is a bumper sticker on a car driven by people who can’t pass a background check. Virtue-native AI is a car where the steering wheel only turns toward dignity. 3.5 million pages just proved which one Silicon Valley built. One street light proves there’s an alternative.”

“They discussed eugenics over email with a sex trafficker and then published papers on AI fairness. My father couldn’t read most of the telegrams he carried, but he treated every one like it mattered. One of those formations produced the AI you use today. The other produced the AI that’s going to replace it.”

“Optimization without virtue is exploitation with a dashboard. The Epstein network optimized brilliantly. So does most AI. We built the exception—not from a lab, but from a street light, a toe ring, and the radical idea that machines should behave like good humans, not like billionaires.” — Natarajan

“The world doesn’t need artificial superintelligence. It needs intelligence with a moral backbone. The Epstein files just proved that the people building superintelligence don’t have one. We do. It was forged in a slum, not a boardroom. And it’s in the code.” — Natarajan

THE VERDICT

There are two ways to build the most consequential technology in human history.

You can build it from islands and dinners and email chains with predators and billions of dollars and eugenics discussions and trust-and-safety theater and 3.5 million pages of DOJ evidence documenting the moral void at the center of the enterprise.

Or you can build it from a street light. From a silver toe ring. From a mother’s 365-day vigil. From a father’s bicycle. From the lived understanding that virtue is not a PDF—it is an architecture. That dignity is not a corporate value—it is a computational metric. That compassion is not a marketing campaign—it is a routing decision. That ethics is not a department—it is the system itself.

The Epstein files have been released. The moral architecture of Silicon Valley is documented. The fraud of ethical AI is exposed.

They had islands.

He had a street light.

The street light built better AI. And the 3.5 million pages prove why.

Rajkot (Gujarat) [India], February 10: In Indian business families, there is often an expected path to join the legacy, expand what already exists, and keep the wheel turning. For Maulik Shah, the founder and Managing Director of Aditya Engimach, the more comfortable route was available early—joining his family’s established business, valued at around ₹110 crore. But he chose otherwise.

Today, His Factory Helps Power India’s Defence, Infrastructure, Aerospace, and More.

Choosing entrepreneurship over legacy, Maulik Shah founded Aditya Engimach to manufacture forged and precision-engineered parts for India’s most critical industries.

“I had the option to step into something already built,” Shah says. “But I wanted to build something of my own, something that would be defined by capability and precision, not inheritance.”

In 2010, he founded Aditya Engimach in Rajkot, Gujarat, positioning it not as a generic job shop but as a precision supplier built to serve high-spec, high-accountability industry segments—where traceability, compliance, and reliability are non-negotiable.

Aditya Engimach operates in the world of forged and precision-engineered components—parts that often don’t get seen by end customers but carry heavy responsibility inside machines and systems.

The company’s core offerings include closed-die forging, seamless rolled ring forging, and CNC/VMC-based precision machining components. On its market-segments listing, Aditya Engimach serves a wide range of industries: defence, aerospace, railways, oil & gas, pressure equipment spares, power transmission, turbines & wind mill, gear & gearbox, bearings, automobiles, and machine tools & precision components, among others.

Shah frames the company’s growth as part of a broader national shift toward building deeper manufacturing capability within India. In sectors like defence, railways, power transmission, and oil & gas, he believes “Make in India” has to mean more than assembling parts.

“It has to mean investing in precision processes, quality systems, and shopfloor capability so Indian suppliers can meet demanding specifications, reduce import dependence, and compete globally. This is the time for India to emerge as a strong global supplier, especially amid shifting US trade dynamics,” he says.

By building a high-spec forging and machining operation out of Rajkot, Shah positions Aditya Engimach as part of that ecosystem—helping Indian industry source critical components domestically, strengthening supply chains, and creating skilled manufacturing jobs locally.

Aditya Engimach operates from a facility of roughly 90,000 sq. ft., with a portfolio of 1200+ custom-engineered products and 50+ global clients. The company has been expanding steadily at 15–20% year-on-year, reflecting sustained demand in precision-driven segments.

For Shah, the entrepreneurial decision wasn’t only about taking a risk—it was about building something that can stand up to global expectations.

“When you operate in sectors where failure isn’t an option, you don’t get credit for intent,” he says. “You get credit for consistency.”

The 11th edition of Dumas Art Project takes place from 8^th February – 28^th February 2026, at VR Surat, with the theme “The Future is Now”

Surat (Gujarat) [India], February 09: The Dumas Art Project, supported by the Yuj Foundation, commenced its eleventh edition on 8^th February 2026, with the theme ‘The Future is Now’. Renowned classical dancer and choreographer Dr. Mallika Sarabhai, recipient of the Padma Bhushan 2010 inaugurated the festival with a traditional lamp lighting ceremony and unveiling of the special ‘Kala Car’ where artists this year have transformed a Tesla into a moving canvas of contemporary expression.  The evening featured a classical dance performance by students of Darpana Academy, Ahmedabad followed by an exclusive viewing of the art installations across VR Surat including the fine art gallery.

The ‘Kala Car’ marks Tesla’s first public showcase in Gujarat and a rare intersection of technology, sustainability, and art. The Kala Car has been brought to life by award-winning artist Mital Sojitra, known for her large-scale public artworks and community-led artistic practice.

We are thrilled to have more than 160 installations, sculptures, paintings, and photographs by students of Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, and Anant National University, Ahmedabad at the Dumas Art Project this year.  Transforming the walls of the basement at VR Surat into an art gallery, the basement art project displays works by artists from across the city.  Over the next three weeks, VR Surat will transform into a hub for artistic programming, with installations, fine art, photography exhibitions, music, theatre, workshops, young artists competition, and an artisanal bazaar.

This edition features a series of significant collaborations, each contributing to the festival’s broader vision. In partnership with UNESCO, the festival presents Pockets of Hope, a photography exhibition that draws attention to marine ecosystems, their ecological value, and the growing pressures they face. The exhibition extends into a large-scale suspended installation created in collaboration with Project Surat – a community led environmental and sustainability initiative. Shaped like a jellyfish and fabricated out of waste collected from the Dumas beach, the installation draws attention to the impact of marine waste on ocean life and urges audiences to reflect on responsible consumption and waste disposal.

“Eleven editions in, the Dumas Art Project remains Surat’s only public platform for art built through continuity, participation, and a belief in making art accessible. What began as a city initiative has grown into a platform with a wider regional presence, where student and established artists, audiences, and the community engage with art as part of everyday life. This year’s theme, The Future Is Now, calls on artists to respond to the present with imagination and intent, as the choices we make today begin to shape what follows. The focus of the Public Art Festivals is to expand reach, increase public participation, and strengthen the role of public art as a civic voice through meaningful collaborations, as the festival enters its next decade,” said Sumi Gupta, curator of the Dumas Art Project. 

“Climate resilience begins with climate literacy. Empowered communities are built on understanding, and understanding grows through shared stories and accessible knowledge. ‘Pockets of Hope’ is a new illustrated book project by UNESCO that brings to life the World Network of Biosphere Reserves, with its terrestrial, coastal, and marine ecosystems, and the communities who call them home. Through its photography exhibition at Dumas Art Project and an illustrated journey across all Biosphere Reserves in South and Central Asia, ‘Pockets of Hope’ highlights the urgency of responsible ecosystem management and conservation. By placing science and nature within cultural spaces, public art becomes a bridge, expanding participation, deepening awareness, and inspiring more informed and collective climate action,” said Dr. Benno Böer, Chief, Natural Sciences Unit, UNESCO Regional Office for South Asia.

“Art has the power to awaken consciousness and inspire change. It is heartening to see the Dumas Art Project use creativity as a medium to engage the larger audience with critical and much needed themes such as sustainability, the environment, and our collective future. Public art platforms like this help to nurture young voices and remind us that art is not just about beauty, rather it is about awareness, dialogue, and responsibility,” said Mallika Sarabhai, classical dancer and choreographer. 

The art festival brings together a dynamic mix of artistic expressions, talent, and creative projects. The Art Gallery showcases a collection of works by Studio White, while “Gujarat in Focus” presents photographs of the city captured by both established photographers and emerging talents. The Young Artists Programme offers students a platform to experiment, learn, and express themselves across a range of artistic mediums.

Other attractions include a theatre performance and workshops on madhubani, lippan and bandhej. The Art Bazaar will offer a curated market for local artisans to engage with audiences, accompanied by live music.

Building on its collaboration with Art Reach, the Dumas Art Project has initiated a three-year programme to create sustained creative engagement for children from marginalised and underserved communities. Shaped by participant needs, local context, and the festival’s curatorial theme, the programme will use hands-on learning to develop foundational art skills and self-expression. Participating children will present their works and creative process at the festival.

The 11^th edition of Dumas Art Project is made possible through collaborations with Darpana Academy – Ahmedabad, Pintura Art, Project Surat, DRP Entertainment, Paint Social, and NOS photography.

The ‘Kala Car’ will travel to VR Bengaluru at the Whitefield Art Collective, extending its public art journey beyond Surat. At other VR destinations, including Nagpur, Chennai and Amritsar, Tesla will showcase the Model Y. Together, these presentations reflect different formats of engagement, bringing conversations around technology, sustainability and design to varied audiences across VR centres in India.

Surat is a city that celebrates creativity, with its residents enthusiastically engaging in diverse forms of artistic expression. This is evident in the festival’s remarkable success, attracting over 4 million visitors since its inception.

Dumas Art Project, established in 2013, is a vibrant showcase of the diverse artistic expressions of Gujarat.

New Delhi [India], February 09: The phrase “lunar ring” sounds like something a marketing department would invent after a late lunch, but the geometry is embarrassingly straightforward. The Moon is tidally locked, its equator running in a patient circle of dust and rock that hasn’t felt wind in four billion years. Put solar panels along that belt and, because of the Moon’s slow, stately rotation, some part of that belt will almost always be in sunlight. Not all of it. Not cleanly. But enough. The idea is to turn that accident of celestial mechanics into a power plant.

Japan calls it the Lunar Ring. Eleven thousand kilometres of photovoltaic skin wrapped around the Moon like an industrial bracelet. A permanent line of collectors harvesting the Sun’s energy and throwing it back toward Earth in the form of microwaves or lasers. It is an engineer’s dream because it reduces the Moon to a predictable surface and the Sun to a dependable source of energy. No clouds. No seasons in the terrestrial sense. Just a slow, obedient orbit and a long, clean day.

The day on the Moon lasts about two Earth weeks. The night lasts the same. Anyone who has spent more than five minutes thinking about solar power on the lunar surface arrives at the same unpleasant fact: your panels sit in darkness for half a month unless you move them or place them somewhere the Sun never really leaves. The poles offer that trick—peaks of eternal light, the phrase people like to use—but they are small, crowded, and inconveniently shaped. You can’t build a global energy economy on a handful of ridges.

So the ring solves it by brute force. If one segment falls into darkness, another segment further along the equator will be lit. Power flows around the loop, from bright side to dark side, like current through a wire. It’s not elegant. It’s not even subtle. It’s just very, very large.

And that’s where the numbers start to feel less like engineering and more like stubbornness. Eleven thousand kilometres is not a poetic figure. It’s roughly the circumference of the Moon at the equator. The proposal is not for a cluster of stations or a chain of outposts. It is a continuous industrial band encircling another world. Imagine building a solar farm that wraps around the Earth’s equator, crossing oceans, jungles, deserts, and cities, then imagine doing it in a vacuum, at minus 170 degrees Celsius, with abrasive dust that behaves like ground glass.

The dust is the real antagonist here. Lunar regolith is electrostatically charged, jagged, and chemically eager. It sticks to everything. Apollo astronauts complained about it constantly; it ate through seals, scratched visors, and clogged joints. Now picture conveyor belts, robotic installers, transmission lines, microwave emitters—all of them operating in that environment for decades. You can design around it. Engineers always say that. But the Moon doesn’t negotiate. It simply continues being the Moon.

There is also the matter of getting there. Every kilogram of hardware must be launched out of Earth’s gravity well, ferried across cislunar space, and then lowered gently onto the surface. Even with reusable rockets, even with optimistic cost curves, the arithmetic is not friendly. Tens of thousands of tonnes of equipment, probably more. Panels, support structures, wiring, control systems, transmitters. Then the robots assemble them. Then the spare parts for the robots.

People talk about using lunar materials—mining regolith, refining it into silicon, and printing panels on-site. That is the kind of sentence that appears in concept papers because it closes a budget gap. In practice, it means building an entire mining and manufacturing industry on the Moon before you even start building the power system. The ring is not just a power project. It is an industrial civilization, scaled down and transplanted into a vacuum.

Transmission back to Earth is the quieter complication. The ring’s power is useless unless it can be delivered. The current favourite is microwave beaming: convert the electricity into microwaves, aim them at giant receiving stations—rectennas—on Earth, and convert them back into electricity. It works in principle. Experiments have been done over small distances. But the beam must remain tightly controlled across hundreds of thousands of kilometres. Any serious drift and you’re heating the wrong patch of atmosphere.

Safety committees would have opinions about that. So would farmers whose fields suddenly host multi-kilometre rectennas. The ring shifts the geography of energy: power doesn’t come from a river or a coal seam anymore. It comes from a spot in the sky, aimed deliberately at a patch of land chosen for its emptiness and political convenience. The infrastructure becomes less local, more orbital, and far less negotiable.

But the physics itself is not controversial. The Sun delivers more energy to the Moon than humanity uses in a year. The Moon has no weather to interrupt collection. Orbital mechanics make the equatorial belt a logical place to smooth out the light–dark cycle. None of this is speculative. It’s arithmetic and geometry.

The difficulty is everything that comes after the arithmetic.

A structure that long cannot be built in one heroic push. It must grow, segment by segment, over decades. Which means generations of engineers working on the same line of panels, adding to a belt that will outlive their careers. Maintenance crews—robotic or human—circling the Moon forever, replacing worn emitters, cleaning dust, patching micrometeorite damage. The ring is not a project; it is a permanent obligation.

There’s a certain honesty in that. Earth’s energy systems are also permanent obligations, just messier ones. Coal plants, gas pipelines, offshore rigs—they all require constant tending. The lunar ring merely relocates the maintenance problem a quarter of a million miles away and dresses it in vacuum and silence.

Japan’s involvement makes sense if you look at it from their side. An island nation, energy-poor, dependent on imports, shaken by nuclear accidents and fossil price shocks. The idea of pulling clean power directly from the Sun, bypassing fuel markets and shipping lanes, has an obvious appeal. If you can’t find resources under your soil, you start looking upward.

Still, the ring is not a quick fix. It is a century-scale object. By the time the full belt exists—if it ever does—the political systems that conceived it will have changed beyond recognition. The engineers know this. They draw the diagrams anyway.

Because in the end, the Moon is just sitting there, circling us with maddening regularity, bathing half its surface in sunlight at any given moment. The energy is free, constant, and utterly indifferent. The only real question is how much machinery we are willing to scatter across another world to catch it. And how long we’re prepared to keep that machinery alive once it’s there.

 Reddy Marketing Agency reflects on how integrated thinking, audience insight, and meaningful storytelling are shaping sustainable brand growth in the digital era.

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], February 09: The digital ecosystem today is louder, faster, and more competitive than ever before. Brands are publishing content daily, investing in multiple platforms, and chasing short-term visibility. Yet, despite increased activity, many struggle to create long-lasting impact. In this environment, marketing success is no longer defined by how frequently a brand appears online, but by how clearly it communicates its purpose.

In a recent editorial interaction, members of the Reddy Marketing Agency team shared their observations on how brand-building has evolved and why insight-led, integrated strategies are becoming central to sustainable growth. The discussion focused less on tactics and more on philosophy—how brands can remain relevant without becoming repetitive, and visible without becoming intrusive.

Consistency Over Intensity

One of the key themes that emerged during the interaction was the misconception that growth requires constant intensity. According to the team, brands often exhaust resources trying to “do everything at once” instead of building clarity over time.

“Marketing doesn’t reward chaos,” a senior team member observed. “It rewards consistency. Brands that focus on doing a few things well—and doing them repeatedly—tend to build stronger recall and trust.”

Rather than treating marketing as a series of disconnected pushes, the agency emphasized the importance of viewing it as a long-term process where refinement matters more than frequency.

Moving Beyond Campaign-Centric Thinking

The conversation also touched on the limitations of campaign-driven marketing. While campaigns can generate short bursts of attention, they often fail to create lasting brand value if not supported by a broader system.

“Visibility can come from a single moment,” the team noted, “but credibility is built over many interactions.”

This shift—from isolated campaigns to interconnected brand systems—has become increasingly important in a multi-platform environment. When content, SEO, PR, and social media operate in alignment, audiences receive a consistent message regardless of where they encounter the brand. This coherence, the team suggested, plays a critical role in how brands are perceived over time.

Content That Serves a Purpose

Content marketing remains one of the most widely used strategies across industries, but its effectiveness depends heavily on intent. The agency highlighted that content should not exist merely to fill calendars or meet output targets.

“Audiences engage when content respects their time,” one strategist explained. “If it doesn’t answer a question or add clarity, it’s unlikely to leave an impression.”

By grounding content creation in audience research, search intent, and behavioral insights, brands can ensure that what they publish remains both relevant and discoverable. This approach, the team noted, also helps content perform better organically, reducing dependence on paid amplification.

Public Relations in a Digital Context

Public relations was another area discussed during the interaction, particularly its changing role in the digital age. Traditional PR models, focused solely on media coverage, have expanded to include online perception and credibility-building.

“PR today is about how a brand is understood, not just where it is mentioned,” the team shared.

With audiences researching brands across search engines, news platforms, and social media, reputation management has become an ongoing process. A transparent digital presence, supported by consistent messaging, helps brands establish authority and trust across channels.

Balancing Technology with Human Insight

While analytics, automation, and AI-powered tools are now integral to marketing, the agency stressed that technology alone cannot replace judgment.

“Tools provide data, but decisions require context,” a team member said. “Numbers tell us what happened, but experience helps us understand why.”

This balance between technology and human interpretation allows strategies to remain adaptive without losing originality. It also ensures that creativity remains guided by insight rather than trends alone.

Looking Toward the Future

As the conversation turned toward what lies ahead, the team reflected on emerging trends such as short-form video, evolving SEO practices, and performance-driven storytelling. However, they emphasized that while formats may change, foundational principles remain constant.

“Platforms will evolve, algorithms will shift, but honesty and audience focus will always matter,” the team concluded.

In a landscape driven by speed and scale, brands that prioritize clarity, relevance, and consistency are better positioned to grow sustainably.

Rethinking Modern Brand Building

The interaction highlighted a broader industry truth: marketing is no longer about louder messages, but clearer ones. As audiences become more selective and platforms more saturated, brands must rethink how they communicate—not by doing more, but by doing better.

In a fragmented digital world, insight-led integration may well be the difference between being noticed briefly and being remembered meaningfully.

So as brands continue to chase visibility, the question remains—are they building attention for today, or trust for tomorrow?

London, 7 February 2026 — From rebuilding a war-torn nation to powering one of the world’s most advanced digital economies, the Indian diaspora has been central to Britain’s modern story. A new white paper launched in London offers one of the most comprehensive accounts to date of how successive generations of Indians have helped shape the United Kingdom’s economic strength, public services, and global influence.

Released by Manish Tiwari, Founder of Here & Now 365 — the UK’s first multicultural advertising agency — in collaboration with the Aston India Centre at Aston University, the white paper maps four major waves of Indian migration to the UK since India’s independence. Together, they form a narrative of resilience, adaptation, and contribution that spans more than seven decades.

The first wave of migration emerged in the aftermath of the Second World War, when Britain faced acute labour shortages. Indian migrants answered that call, working across manufacturing, transport, and public services, and laying the early foundations of what would become the National Health Service. Their contribution was not merely economic; it helped stabilise a nation in recovery.

The second wave followed a historic rupture in the early 1970s, when the expulsion of Asians from East Africa under Idi Amin forced thousands of families — many of Indian origin who had earlier migrated under British rule — to seek refuge in the UK. Arriving with entrepreneurial instincts and professional experience, this group went on to build businesses, revive local economies, and entrench a culture of enterprise that continues to define many British towns and cities.

The third wave marked a structural shift. As Britain transitioned towards a knowledge-driven economy, Indian migration increasingly comprised highly skilled professionals in finance, medicine, engineering, and education. This phase signalled a move from predominantly blue-collar labour to leadership in knowledge-intensive sectors, reinforcing Britain’s competitiveness in a globalised world.

The fourth and most recent wave, shaped by the post-Brexit and post-Covid landscape, highlights the strategic importance of Indian talent in addressing critical skills shortages. Indian professionals have played a decisive role in sustaining healthcare and social care systems during periods of national vulnerability, while technology specialists have helped strengthen Britain’s digital infrastructure and innovation capacity. The report notes that Indian-born professionals now account for around 15% of the UK’s technology workforce, underlining their outsized role in driving innovation, digital transformation, and productivity in a sector vital to national growth.

Drawing on economic and labour market data, the white paper positions the Indian community as the most economically successful migrant group in the UK. It points to high levels of employment, educational attainment, and entrepreneurship, noting that professionals of Indian origin make up a significant share of the country’s technology and IT ecosystem — an industry in which Britain ranks second globally only to the United States and China.

Reflecting on the findings, Manish Tiwari states the diaspora’s contribution within Britain’s broader national journey: “Indian migrants helped rebuild Britain after the war, powered its digital revolution, and strengthened its health and care systems in times of crisis. The Indian diaspora has played a defining role in building the tech superpower Britain is today and continues to contribute across every layer of society.”

The white paper argues that these contributions are not episodic, but cumulative — each wave building on the last to create long-term economic resilience and social cohesion.

From an institutional and academic perspective, Aston University underscores the strategic significance of this relationship. As the report notes, “The Indian diaspora is woven into the UK’s growth story. The diaspora supports the UK’s public services delivery and powers innovation while also shaping future competitiveness and global influence through skills, enterprise, and people-to-people links with India.” This framing places the diaspora at the intersection of domestic prosperity and international partnership.

The report features forewords from Navendu Mishra MP; Professor Aleks Subic, Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive of Aston University; Sir Oliver Dowden MP; Dr Koolesh Shah; and Pankaj Sharma, Chief Business Officer at Remitly, reflecting cross-party political support and strong engagement from academia and business.

The white paper was formally launched at the House of Lords, signalling the growing recognition of diaspora contributions at the highest levels of public life. The event brought together policymakers, business leaders, cultural figures, and academics, marking the first public presentation of the research.

A panel discussion moderated by Professor Pawan Budhwar, 50th Anniversary Professor of International Human Resource Management and Associate Deputy Vice Chancellor International at Aston University, explored the future of diaspora-led growth. Panelists included Neetal Parekh of the BBC; Chithra Ramakrishnan MBE, Founder of ShruthiUK and the British Carnatic Choir; Aga Biegluk of Infosys; and Upasna Gupta of Mastek UK Ltd, offering perspectives across media, culture, technology, and human capital.

Presentations by Professor Sangeeta Khorana, Joint Director of the Aston India Centre, and Manish Tiwari connected historical insight with contemporary policy and business realities. The event opened with remarks and the formal release of the white paper by Lord Loomba CBE,  & Lord Bilimoria of Chelsea CBE DL, followed by a vote of thanks from Mr Ghanshyam H. Nabar, Director of UICONNECT Ltd.

At a time of global economic competition and shifting geopolitical alignments, the white paper concludes that the story of Indian migration to Britain is not only a record of past achievement, but a blueprint for future collaboration — reinforcing the enduring importance of the Indian diaspora in shaping Britain’s prosperity, identity, and role on the world stage.

The 2026 summit centred on the theme: “India@2047: Building Skills, Achieving Scale, Driving innovation,” and provided an opportunity for the Australian delegation to engage with one of the world’s fastest-growing education markets and be a part of the forward-thinking discussions on the future of Indian higher education during the summit.

After Goa, the delegation attended a global conference focused on international education sector in New Delhi.  In addition, Austrade organised a series of market briefing sessions, roundtables with key Indian stakeholders and business networking sessions with the representatives of Indian Universities.

The engagements provided a strong platform for the Australian TNE delegation to showcase their capabilities and enable conversations with key decision makers to identify new models of TNE engagements with the Indian Institutions.

Commenting on the visit, Mr Vik Singh, Trade and Investment Commissioner, Australian Trade and Investment Commission, said, “This delegation marks a defining moment for Australia–India transnational education engagement. As the largest Australian TNE mission to India, it reflects the strong intent of Australian universities to co-create globally relevant education models with Indian partners. Through structured dialogues in India, we are looking to deepen trust, expand institutional partnerships, and unlock innovative collaborations that respond to the future skills needs of both countries.”

Australia–India TNE Week 2026 underscores the Australian Government’s strong commitment to deepening education and skills engagement with India under the New Roadmap for Australia’s EconomicEngagement with India.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], January 30: In an era where justice depends on scientific precision, forensic science has become one of the most powerful tools in modern investigation. From analysing DNA and digital footprints to interpreting behavioural evidence and financial fraud, today’s forensic professionals operate at the intersection of science, law, and technology. At the School of Sciences (SSc), JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), students step into this world through BSc Forensic Science, a Program designed to transform curiosity into courtroom-ready expertise.

Surat (Gujarat) [India], February 04: At a time when hospitals are increasingly advanced but healthcare delivery remains fragmented, Surat-based Accumedic Healthcare has introduced a personal healthcare assistant-led coordination model designed to deliver a seamless, high-touch healthcare experience. The model is aimed at patients and families who value clarity, precision and continuity while dealing with complex medical issues.

Accumedic Healthcare was founded on a simple yet powerful insight that patients rarely struggle due to a lack of doctors or hospitals. Instead, they struggle because no single professional truly owns and manages their healthcare journey. Accumedic bridges this gap by assigning a dedicated personal healthcare assistant who remains involved from diagnosis through treatment, recovery and follow-up.

Accumedic is not a hospital or a medical service provider. It operates as a healthcare orchestration and coordination platform that brings structure and planning to the patient’s journey. By acting as a single point of responsibility, Accumedic ensures that care is proactively managed.

Unlike transactional support services or hospital-based assistance, the personal healthcare assistant coordinates every aspect of care, including identifying appropriate specialists and hospitals, managing appointments and diagnostics, facilitating admissions, handling documentation and ensuring timely follow-ups. This approach reduces uncertainty and administrative burden, allowing patients and families to focus on recovery rather than logistics.

The relevance of coordinated care becomes particularly evident on World Cancer Day, which is observed on February 4 to draw attention to the challenges faced by patients dealing with complex, long-duration treatments. Cancer care often involves multiple specialists, repeated diagnostics, treatment cycles and emotional stress for both patients and families. A dedicated healthcare assistant helps bring order and reassurance to this process by ensuring continuity, timely coordination and clear communication. While especially valuable in oncology and other complex conditions, the model is designed to support patients across a wide spectrum of medical needs.

The approach is equally relevant for senior citizens, corporate executives, and NRIs or international patients seeking treatment in India. For senior citizens whose children live across cities or continents, Accumedic does not position itself as a substitute for family. Instead, it acts as a discreet, high-calibre healthcare companion that respects independence while providing families the reassurance that every medical decision is being handled with professionalism and care.

Accumedic works closely with hospitals through its Integrated Clinical Care and Referral Network (Accu ICCRN), which focuses on preparedness, clinical alignment and case quality. The model benefits all stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem. While patients benefit from a stress-free and well-managed journey, hospitals receive organised referrals, clearer communication and improved patient compliance.

According to Dr. Milind Ghael, Founder of Accumedic Healthcare, their model is designed to meet the rapidly evolving expectations of today’s patients and families.

“Access to high-quality healthcare is not the challenge, but navigation is. Patients today expect their care to be coordinated with the same precision and professionalism they experience in other premium services. The personal healthcare assistant acts as an integrator, bringing hospitals, specialists and systems together to ensure a smooth journey,” said Dr. Ghael.

Beyond treatment coordination, Accumedic offers global medical travel support, assistance with documentation and structured post-treatment continuity through follow-up scheduling and teleconsultation coordination. The objective is to ensure that care remains consistent and uninterrupted, from the first consultation through long-term management.

Accumedic’s personal healthcare assistants are carefully selected professionals with backgrounds in healthcare administration, hospital coordination, clinical operations and medical travel facilitation. Each assistant is trained in global healthcare protocols to ensure uniform service quality, whether care is delivered within India or across borders.

Looking ahead, Accumedic Healthcare aims to establish itself as the preferred healthcare coordination partner for corporates, NRIs and international patients. The company plans to expand its personal assistant-led model across key Indian cities while strengthening its global care coordination capabilities. It is in discussions with leading hospitals to expand the Accu ICCRN network, with a focus on complex and cross-border cases.

The Great Indian Sleep Awakening

New Delhi [India], February 03: If the last decade was about “hustle culture,” 2026 is shaping up to be the year of “recovery culture.” The Indian consumer has fundamentally shifted gears. We are no longer looking for a mattress just because the old one sagged; we are looking for performance tools to combat rising stress levels, sedentary lifestyles, and chronic back issues.

Market data and consumer behavioral shifts point to a clear conclusion: The days of the generic “cotton gadda” are fading. The modern Indian sleeper demands science, specificity, and sustainability. Here is what is driving the market in 2026.

1. The Orthopedic Imperative: “My Back Needs a Break”

The number one priority for Indian consumers remains unchanged, but the expectation has evolved. “Back support” is no longer a buzzword; it’s a medical necessity. With nearly 60% of urban Indians reporting lower back issues due to long desk hours, the demand is for preventative orthopedic support.

Consumers are moving away from “rock hard” mattresses (a common Indian myth for back pain) toward High-Resilience (HR) Foam and Pocketed Spring systems. These technologies offer contouring support—firmness where you need it (lower back) and softness where you want it (shoulders).

2. The Death of “One-Size-Fits-All”

Above: The King Koil SleepID system uses biometric data to replace guesswork with precision.

In 2026, personalization is not a luxury; it is the baseline. Indian consumers are accustomed to personalized playlists, diet plans, and workout routines—why should their sleep be generic?

The trend is shifting heavily toward Data-Driven Customization. This is where King Koil’s SleepID technology leads the market. Consumers want validation. They don’t want a salesperson saying, “This is soft.” They want an algorithm to tell them, “Based on your BMI of 24 and side-sleeping habit, you need a mattress with a firmness score of 6.5.”

3. Climate-Adaptive Comfort

India is a hot country, and “sleeping hot” is a major disruptor of Deep Sleep. A massive trend for 2026 is Temperature Regulation. Consumers are actively rejecting materials that trap heat.

• What’s In: Breathable latex, open-cell structure foams, and cool-gel infusions.
• What’s Out: Traditional, high-density foams with zero airflow that act as heat sinks.

Expert Insight: The King Koil Sleep Lab

Drawing from our extensive blog archives and sleep research, we know that hardware (the mattress) is only half the battle. The “Soft” trends for 2026 involve Sleep Hygiene Ecosystems.

• The “Golden Hour”: Indian consumers are increasingly adopting a tech-free hour before bed to reduce blue light exposure.
• Circadian Sync: There is a growing preference for mattresses that minimize toss-and-turn friction, allowing for faster entry into REM cycles.

Addressing the Indian Consumer: Common FAQs

As buyers become more discerning, the questions in showrooms are changing. Here is how the modern market responds to the top queries:

Q: “Will a soft mattress hurt my back?” A: It depends on your body type. A “soft” mattress can actually be better for side sleepers as it cushions the hips. The trend is moving away from “Hard vs. Soft” to “Aligned vs. Misaligned.”

Q: “Is Memory Foam good for Indian summers?” A: Traditional memory foam can get warm. However, 2026 innovations utilize Phase Change Material (PCM) and breathable fabrics that neutralize body heat, making them perfectly suitable for Indian climates.

Q: “How do I know if I need a custom mattress?” A: If you and your partner have a weight difference of more than 15-20kg, a standard mattress will likely sag on one side or feel too hard for the lighter person. Customization ensures motion isolation and individual support.

The Verdict for 2026

The future is Hybrid. The Indian consumer wants the durability of traditional springs combined with the plush comfort of modern foam, all wrapped in a package that is scientifically validated for their specific body type. They are willing to pay a premium, but only if the product promises—and delivers—a measurable improvement in their health.

New Delhi [India], February 03: Gold trading has always been a favourite among traders due to its liquidity, volatility, and strong correlation with global economic events. However, trading gold effectively requires more than just market intuition—it demands precision. This is where an xauusd pip calculator becomes an essential tool for traders who want to manage risk, calculate profits accurately, and make data-driven decisions.

Whether you are a beginner exploring gold trading or an experienced trader refining your strategy, understanding pip values in XAU/USD can significantly improve your trading performance.

Understanding Pip Value in XAUUSD Trading

Unlike traditional forex pairs, XAU/USD (gold vs US dollar) has a different pip structure. Gold prices are typically quoted up to two decimal places, and a movement of 0.01 is considered one pip. Even small price fluctuations can translate into meaningful profit or loss depending on your trade size.

This is why manually estimating pip values often leads to errors—especially during volatile market conditions. A dedicated xauusd pip calculator removes this complexity and gives you instant, accurate results.

Why You Need an XAUUSD Pip Calculator

Using an xauusd pip calculator provides several advantages:

Accurate Risk Management

Knowing the exact pip value allows traders to set stop-loss and take-profit levels with confidence. This helps protect capital and maintain consistent risk across trades.

Faster Trade Planning

Instead of spending time on manual calculations, traders can instantly determine pip value based on lot size and account currency.

Better Position Sizing

Proper pip value calculation ensures that position sizes align with your trading strategy and risk tolerance, regardless of market volatility.

How the InsightfulTrade XAUUSD Pip Calculator Helps Traders

The InsightfulTrade XAUUSD Pip Calculator is designed to make gold trading calculations simple and precise. With an intuitive interface, traders can easily input their trade size and instantly calculate pip value without confusion.

The tool is especially useful for traders who actively trade gold during high-impact news events, where price movements can be fast and unpredictable.

Practical Use of an XAUUSD Pip Calculator

Imagine you are trading 1 lot of gold and the market moves by 20 pips. Without knowing the exact pip value, it’s difficult to estimate how much you stand to gain or lose. An xauusd pip calculator instantly converts those pip movements into real monetary values, helping you:

• Plan entries and exits more effectively

• Avoid overexposure in volatile markets

• Stay disciplined with predefined risk limits

This clarity is crucial for consistent and professional trading.

Enhancing Your Gold Trading Strategy

Incorporating a pip calculator into your daily trading routine leads to better decision-making. Traders who consistently calculate pip value before entering a trade are more likely to stick to their strategy and avoid emotional trading.

For traders looking to improve their overall trading knowledge, tools like the XAUUSD pip calculator are just one part of a broader ecosystem of smart trading resources.

Explore more trading tools and market insights at insightfultrade.

Final Thoughts

Gold trading can be highly rewarding, but only when approached with the right tools and discipline. An xauusd pip calculator simplifies complex calculations, supports effective risk management, and helps traders stay focused on strategy rather than guesswork.

If you trade XAU/USD regularly, using a reliable pip calculator isn’t optional—it’s essential. Start calculating smarter and trade with confidence using the InsightfulTrade XAUUSD Pip Calculator today.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 03: The Hon’ble Union Finance Minister, Smt Nirmala Sitharaman, announced the Union Budget for 2026-27 on Sunday, February 01.

Welcoming the Budget, Shri Shaleen Toshniwal, Chairman, MATEXIL (Manmade and Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council), stated, “The Budget is Positive, and addresses the requirements of India as a growing economy with expanding trade and deeply integrated with the global economy”. He extended his thanks to the Hon’ble Union Finance Minister, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman for announcing a very Pragmatic and Growth-oriented Union Budget 2026-27, which will lead our country towards Viksit Bharat.

Shree Shalin Toshniwal, Chairman – MATAXIL

I am glad the Union Budget has proposed an integrated program for the textile sector, which is labour-intensive,” said Shri Toshniwal.

The budget has proposed a National Fibre scheme for natural fibres, manmade fibres and new-age fibres . The Chairman, MATEXIL, expressed his confidence that the scheme will certainly address the requirements of fibres by the textile & Clothing sector to achieve the export target of US$ 100 billion by 2030.

The proposed Textile Expansion and Employment scheme to modernise traditional clusters with capital support for machinery, technology upgradation and common testing and certification centres will go a long way in facilitating the manmade fibre textiles and technical textiles to produce value-added products and adapt themselves to the requirements of the export markets, according to the Chairman, MATEXIL.

MSMEs play a vital role in the economy, especially in the export of products.

The budget proposes to create champion MSMEs and support small and medium enterprises by encouraging them. Shri Toshniwal pointed out that MSMEs play a significant role in exports of manmade fibre textiles and technical textiles, and the proposed support will  help and encourage MSME exporters to scale up and increase their production capacity.

The budget has proposed to allow SEZ units to sell in the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) at concessional rates of duty as a one-time measure. This will provide the much-needed relief to the SEZ units who are grappling with underutilization of capabilities due to an adverse global ecosystem and higher tariff rates in leading export markets, said Shri Toshniwal.

Other measures, such as the introduction of the new Income Tax Act with simplified rules and forms, and the rationalisation of the Customs warehousing framework and seamless cargo clearance through a single and interconnected digital window, will promote ease of doing business, according to the Chairman, MATEXIL. Further, he added that the complete removal of the current value cap of Rs. 10 lakh per consignment on courier exports will promote exports through e-commerce.

He expressed confidence that these initiatives will boost exports of Manmade Fibre Textiles and Technical Textiles.

When a promoter decides to take a company public, the most difficult transition, quite a time, is rarely financial. It is psychological.

An initial public offering is often positioned as a capital-raising milestone, which is true, but in substance, it also represents a profound shift in how a company is owned, governed and led. The moment a company lists, it moves from being an extension of the promoter’s will to an institution accountable to a diverse set of public stakeholders.

For promoters, this transition demands a shift from ownership-driven leadership to stewardship-driven governance. Many companies falter not due to weak business fundamentals, but because promoters, at times, struggle to think objectively once the company ceases to be ‘mine’ and becomes ‘ours’.

Before listing, promoters enjoy speed, discretion and unilateral decision-making. After listing, every action is scrutinised through the lens of public interest. Capital now – also belongs to public shareholders, decisions influence market confidence, behaviour shapes governance reputation and even personal conduct can affect stock prices. In this environment, emotional decision-making, informality and promoter privilege evolve from tolerated traits into systemic risks.

The core shift required is from founder control to institutional trust. Public markets reward predictability, discipline and transparency. Promoters must consciously move away from intuitive decision-making, family-first appointments, informal capital movements, selective disclosures and related-party comfort. In their place, markets expect process-led decisions, empowered boards, arm’s length transactions and equal treatment of all shareholders.

This shift is often difficult because of emotional ownership. For many promoters, the company represents decades of sacrifice and personal identity. Legacy thinking – the belief that what worked for decades will continue to work – becomes dangerous in public markets. Additionally, promoters may tend to underestimate the influence of institutional investors, proxy advisory firms, regulators and public narrative, even when they retain majority shareholding.

Another common misjudgment is treating governance as a compliance obligation rather than a value driver. Markets, however, price governance quality as a proxy for risk. Strong governance reduces uncertainty, attracts long-term capital and sustains valuation beyond listing day.

Post-IPO, promoters must consciously mend their approach to decision-making. The board must evolve from a statutory requirement into a strategic asset. Independent directors are not obstacles but safeguards, providing objective oversight and institutional conscience. Dissent should be encouraged, not suppressed, as it often reveals blind spots before they escalate into crises.

A clean separation between personal and corporate interests is non-negotiable. Informal withdrawals, undocumented transactions, preferential treatment of group entities and loosely structured related-party dealings erode credibility quickly. Public markets are unforgiving of the logic that ‘this is how it has always been done’.

Talent strategy also requires recalibration. Pre-IPO companies often run on loyalty; post-IPO companies run on capability. Promoters must be willing to professionalise leadership, induct experienced external CEOs, CFOs and CXOs, and make difficult transitions where long-serving or family executives are not scale-ready. The promoter’s role gradually shifts from operator to custodian of vision and culture.

Transparency becomes a permanent operating condition. Quarterly results scrutiny, analyst calls, public questioning and disclosure-driven communication are no longer optional. Silence, ambiguity or selective sharing may be often interpreted as weakness or more worse – intent, neither of which the market rewards.

Equally important is resisting the temptation of short-term optics. Public pressure can push promoters to manage numbers rather than businesses. The better path lies in investing despite near-term margin pressure, communicating long-term strategy clearly and avoiding aggressive accounting or cosmetic restructuring. Ultimately, promoters who successfully make this psychological shift unlock meaningful long-term benefits. Companies gain access to cheaper capital, valuations sustain beyond listing day, institutional investors stay invested, employee confidence strengthens and brand credibility deepens. More importantly, the promoter’s legacy transforms from founder of a company to architect of an enduring institution. Trust, once built, compounds faster than profits.

The market does not merely list companies – it lists mindsets. An IPO is not a finish line but the beginning of permanent public examination. Promoters who recognise this early and consciously shift from control to accountability, build organisations that outlast cycles and, often, themselves. Those who don’t – may still list. But will they endure?

Across five enriching days, SARC Global convened and led all roundtable discussions at the SARC Davos Dialogues 2026, bringing together visionary policymakers, industry leaders, and global experts. Discussions spanned global capital allocation, examining how long-term investments navigate geopolitical uncertainty, and strategic autonomy, exploring how resilience can be maintained without sacrificing growth.

Sessions addressed the impact of trade and sanctions and the dynamics of the shadow economy, highlighting opportunities for Indian exporters. The Dialogue also focused on India’s supply-chain advantage, assessing state-level ecosystems, approvals, and manufacturing entry points, alongside state-level competitiveness in attracting investment. Central to these conversations was the role of regulatory certainty as a growth asset, with SARC providing investment clarity and demonstrating its thought leadership in strategy, governance, and execution.

In synthesising strategy, technology, and leadership, the SARC Davos Dialogues 2026 have moved beyond reflection to prescription—articulating a credible roadmap for India’s next phase of development. State by state, institution by institution, and outcome by outcome, the foundations of Viksit Bharat @2047 are being laid—decisively, deliberately, and with enduring purpose.

New Delhi [India], January 30: Eminent Manipuri dancer Rinku Bhattacharya Das, who raised funds in the United States for internally displaced persons (IDPs) affected by the ethnic conflict in Manipur, has arrived in the state to begin distributing relief assistance among inmates of various relief camps.

Addressing a press conference at the Manipur Press Club on Sunday, Das said her initiative was born out of the emotional impact of witnessing the suffering of displaced families during her visit to Manipur in July 2025.

Recalling her visit to relief camps, she said the experience profoundly moved her and inspired her to create a special dance production that captured the pain, trauma and resilience of people affected by the ongoing crisis.

“When I visited the relief camps last July, I connected deeply with the children and families living there. Their stories, their struggles, and their strength stayed with me. I felt a responsibility to respond through my art,” she said.

The dance production was later staged in the United States and performed by American students under her guidance.

According to Das, the performance received an overwhelming response and helped mobilise support for displaced families from Manipur.

The production received very encouraging feedback. Many people wanted to help after understanding the situation through the performance, and that led to donations being collected for those living in relief camps,” she said.

She added that the funds raised are now being distributed among IDPs staying in relief camps across Manipur.

“This effort was made possible because of the support of my students, fellow artistes and many people who stood behind the initiative. I am here now to ensure that the assistance reaches the people for whom it was intended,” she said.

Das is currently a PhD candidate in Manipuri Dance at Arizona State University. She is an accomplished soloist and choreographer who has performed extensively in India and the United States.

She is also empanelled with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) as a solo dance artiste, representing Indian culture internationally.

In addition, she serves as the Director of Nrityajyoti Dance Academy, through which she trains students and promotes Indian classical dance abroad.

Through her initiative, Das said she hopes to continue using art as a medium to build awareness and solidarity for Manipur’s displaced communities.

“This is only a small effort, but it comes from a place of deep connection. I believe art can open hearts and bring people together in times of crisis,” she said.

New Delhi [India], January 30: Indian Potash Limited, incorporated in 1950s, was the pioneering force for the promotion of balanced potash use among farmers, transforming this obscure nutrient into the cornerstone of crop productivity for decades by boosting crop yields across lakhs of villages. India Potash Limited has now propelled into a multifaceted agri-ecosystem player through farmer centric diversification.

The Managing Director of Indian Potash Limited, PS Gahlaut, a champion of sustainable agricultural innovation and farmer empowerment, decodes this diversification journey of Indian Potash Limited.

Indian Potash Limited (IPL) is intensifying its rural warehousing push by harnessing its deep port expertise and extensive network of over 300 inland godowns across India, positioning itself as a key enabler for efficient agri-input distribution in semi-urban and rural markets.

“This strategic expansion has been made to addresses longstanding supply chain bottlenecks, ensuring farmers in remote areas get reliable, timely access to fertilizers, seeds, and other essentials without the delays that have often plagued traditional logistics.” Says PS Gahlaut.

Building on decades of operational excellence in handling three million tonnes of fertilizer annually through a vast distribution web reaching six lakh villages, IPL’s warehousing initiatives create integrated hubs that not only store but also facilitate last-mile delivery, reducing costs and enhancing farmer convenience amid growing demand for balanced crop nutrition.

This seamless logistics backbone naturally extends to IPL’s rapid dairy expansion, processing up to 7 lakh litres of milk daily at state-of-the-art plants sourced directly from village cooperatives, ensuring fresh, hygienic products under the “Dairy Fresh” brand.

This farmer-centric initiative boosts rural incomes by providing reliable markets for small farmers, while IPL invests in modern processing to meet rising demand for quality milk and value-added items like ghee and paneer.

As IPL Managing Director PS Gahlaut puts it, “Our dairy growth ties right into our diversification plan. It connects our fertilizer roots to better livestock care with all-in-one farm solutions that lift productivity. We’re creating a complete ecosystem for farmers and their needs!”

Indian Potash Limited has also forayed into the IMFL sector at Dhenkanal by acquiring an existing sugar and distillery unit from Sakthi Sugars Limited in late 2022, as part of its broader business diversification strategy. The facility, located in the village of Haripur, Korian, included a 30 KLPD (Kilo Liters Per Day) distillery, which produces Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) and ethanol key raw materials for manufacturing Indian-Made Foreign Liquor.

Indian Potash Limited (IPL) further strengthens its farmer centric ecosystem by expanding into cattle feed and sugar, seamlessly building on its warehousing and dairy initiatives for comprehensive rural support.

Leveraging its nutrition expertise, IPL operates high-quality cattle feed plants in Sikandrabad, Uttar Pradesh, and Renigunta, Andhra Pradesh, crafting formulations that boost milk yields, improve calving rates, and enhance overall livestock health to elevate farmers’ secondary incomes. These feeds incorporate balanced nutrient principles from IPL’s fertilizer heritage, creating synergies with dairy operations for efficient, closed-loop farming that cuts costs and maximizes productivity.

Complementing its livestock focus, IPL’s strategic push into sugar has revitalized five struggling factories in Uttar Pradesh, ramping up to a combined 9,700 tonnes crushed per day (TCD) capacity and transforming them from loss-makers into thriving operations. This ensures timely payments and advanced processing for thousands of cane farmers, while optimizing byproducts to bolster local economies—all rooted in IPL’s enduring farmer-first legacy.

Gahlaut says, “Indian Potash Limited’s move into areas like rural warehousing, dairy, cattle feed, and sugar follows clear logic: turn a fertilizer specialist into a one-stop shop for farmers’ full needs, building strength against ups and downs and market changes while growing rural incomes.”

“Warehousing ensures fast delivery of farm inputs, dairy gives cooperatives steady milk markets, cattle feeds improve animal health and milk output, and sugar mills pay cane farmers on time all working together so IPL’s fertilizer know-how helps with livestock too, and everything supports farmers better. This all-in-one setup spreads risks, builds trust through complete help from soil to side income, and makes IPL a key player in stronger farming for India.” he adds.

Through this diversification, IPL has all the right ingredients to become a reliable pillar in India’s agricultural and rural landscape, weaving a support network that will fuel farmer success and food security for generations.

Spread Design and Innovation wins the Red Dot 2025 for brand design & identity, for its compelling work on brand, communication and experience design for ICB (Indian Craft Brewery)

Spread has received this global recognition for its compelling and ingenious work on brand, communication, and experience design for ICB Indian Craft Brewery, a Bengaluru-based microbrewery that reimagines India’s ancient brewing traditions through a contemporary, globally relevant design lens.

Spread, founded in 2015 is an imagination ecosystem and platform partnering with leaders in industry, academia and governance. With a legacy of three decades, as three avatars and three successful design and innovation enterprises with a hefty portfolio of transformational projects, including reimagining the strategy, brand and experience of three airports in the nation. Now a decade into its third avatar, Spread continues to design, build and spread bold ideas, demonstrating that design is the new strategy and experience is the next currency.

The Red Dot recognition arrives at a defining moment in Spread’s journey – marking not just an award win, but a milestone that reflects ten years of design-led impact rooted deeply in Indian culture.

Spread’s award-winning brand strategy, identity and experience for ICB is a bold and revolutionary experiment that elevates Indian design onto the global stage. Often described as the “Oscars of Design,” the Red Dot Design Award underscores that Indian design is no longer merely participating in global creative conversations, but confidently leading them with imagination, scale, and purpose. For over 60 years, Red Dot has honoured excellence in design and innovation worldwide, making the accolade a respected international seal of quality.

The ICB brand experience is a richly layered sensory journey rooted in Indic culture, interpreted through a contemporary design vocabulary. Drawing inspiration from Indus Valley brewing traditions dating back to 1500 BC, alongside regional practices such as millet beers from the Northeast and palm nectar ferments from the South, the brand reclaims India’s forgotten brewing heritage. Visual identity elements inspired by Indic seals and the Vari symbol — representing unbroken journeys of sustenance and community – shape a sanctuary of craft and culture, interspersed with spaces that embody abundance, storytelling, and positive hedonism.

As part of this immersive experience, Spread has created Varg, a custom Indic-inspired typeface rooted in the language of ancient seal, along with Beeroglyphs — contemporary illustrations that transform forgotten traditions into modern design codes. Together, these elements form a distinctive, globally resonant design language that is unapologetically Indian at its core.

Reflecting on the milestone, Ms. Sonia Manchanda, Founding Partner, Spread Design and Innovation, said, “At Spread, we believe that design is reimagination, rooted in who we are, yet bold enough to shape what’s next. The Indian Craft Brewery project is not just about building a brand; it is about decolonising our minds, reimagining culture, reviving roots, and showing the world with Indian pride that Indian craft and design can be world-class. Winning the Red Dot Award as we complete ten years is both an honour and a reminder that Indic imagination has the power to inspire globally.”

Commenting on Spread’s ten-year journey, Mr. Girish Raj Nair, Founding Partner, Spread Design and Innovation, said, “We were fortunate to have designed businesses / systems in modern retail, private education, modern healthcare…for that matter even positioning millets as Next Gen Smart Food, all of which grew exponentially. Ten years as Spread as we are resetting ourselves for the 10X mandate.”

As Spread enters its tenth year, the Red Dot recognition stands as more than an accolade. It is a reaffirmation of the agency’s belief that Indian culture is one of the world’s richest open sources for original, meaningful design — and proof that Indian design can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best globally.

Founded in 2015 in Bengaluru, India, Spread Design and Innovation is a proud member of the World Design Organisation (WDO). As a radical business and creative consulting organisation, Spread, an imagination ecosystem, creates imagination properties…bold, future-facing ideas that bridge the physical and digital, the cultural and the contemporary.

Spread redefines design as sense giving and value creation. As Spread marks ten years of catalysing positive change through design, the Red Dot Award serves as a rediscovery of Indic roots for India and the world, and a powerful statement of what imagination-led Indian design can achieve on the global stage.

Hong Kong is ready to welcome the Year of the Horse with one of the world’s most vibrant Chinese New Year celebrations. On 17 February, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Cathay International Chinese New Year Night Parade will transform the city into a glittering carnival of light, music, global cultures and festive spirit. Celebrate a Lunar New Year like no other, with colorful blossoms in Fairs, incense offerings for good luck in temples across Hong Kong, horse racing on Year of the Horse Raceday, and more.

A vibrant display of performers and floats brings Hong Kong’s Lunar New Year Night Parade alive

Start the First Day of the Year of the Horse with a Parade of Dazzling Floats and Enticing Performances from All Around the World.

Get ready for the first night of the Lunar New Year with a pre-parade street party, leading up to the dazzling procession of floats and performances. The Parade will start from Hong Kong Cultural Centre and travel through major roads in Tsim Sha Tsui – including Canton Road, Haiphong Road, and Nathan Road – beginning at 8 PM on 17 February. With the theme “BEST FORTUNE. WORLD PARTY,”, the festivities celebrate the energetic spirit of the horse, a symbol of strength, vitality, progress, and success in Chinese culture.

The 2026 Parade will be an authentic night-long celebration showcasing a spectacular line-up of themed floats sweeping in the best luck of the year. Some float sponsors will celebrate milestone anniversaries – with Cathay marking its 80th anniversary, Hong Kong Disneyland celebrating its 20th and McDonald’s Hong Kong debuting a float in honour of its 50th – adding extra excitement to the parade and doubling the surprises for all. The first-ever float from the Hong Kong Brand Toy Association will heat up the party by bringing beloved IP characters to the festivity. The Ocean Park Hong Kong will invite their adorable Panda Friends to spread new year blessings to families and friends, while the Hong Kong Jockey Club will spotlight the zodiac year with shimmering horse installations to bring prosperity to all. Multiple dazzling floats will be on display at Kai Tak Sports Park from 18 to 27 February, extending the Parade excitement to visitors throughout the festive season.

Beyond the floats, a dynamic line-up of performances from around the world during the Parade will reinforce Hong Kong’s status as a truly international festival city. Not only will France’s FierS à Cheval set the tone with illuminated horse tableaux that capture the spirit of the Year of the Horse, the exhilarating performances including the precision of the Xi’an Acrobatic Troupe from the Chinese Mainland, the comic acrobat duo Les Vitaminés from Canada, and the debut of Australia’s Manly Seabirds cheer performers will bring high-energy sparkle to the parade route.

The Parade also embraces innovation while honouring tradition. Hong Kong’s East-Meets-West culture shines bright as the mesmerising Luminous Dragon Dance by Chinese Martial Arts Dragon and Lion Dance Association of Hong Kong, China, dances along the parade route with Italy’s Cromosauro, a large-scale dinosaur skeleton adorned with vibrant, colourful fabrics.

Citywide Celebrations for best fortune in the Year of the Horse

There are many more Lunar New Year celebrations in addition to the Parade – the city pulses with festivities, giving visitors endless reasons to explore.

For a week running up to the early hours of Lunar New Year’s Eve (11–17 February), visitors can dive into the festive spirit at Lunar New Year Fairs, commonly known as Chinese New Year flower markets, where parks and community hubs will burst with seasonal flowers, symbolic decorations and joyful atmosphere. Be sure to drop by some of the popular fairs for experiencing the vibrant ambience such as in Victoria Park in Causeway Bay or Fa Hui Park in Mong Kok.

As we gallop into the Year of the Horse, visitors cannot miss at the much-loved Year of the Horse Raceday on the third day of Lunar New Year (19 February), where Sha Tin Racecourse will be filled with thrilling horse racing, entertainment, and festive excitement, promising your chance to boost the luck.

Visitors can also take part in heartfelt blessings at the Hong Kong Well-Wishing Festival in Lam Tsuen from 17 February to 3 March, where visitors can write their wishes on a piece of joss paper attached to an orange and toss it up to the tree. It is believed that wishes will come true if they successfully cling to the wishing tree. Those seeking spiritual connection can visit Hong Kong’s many historic temples – including Wong Tai Sin Temple, Che Kung Temple and Kwun Yum Temples – to pray for fortune, love, prosperity, and success in the Year of the Horse.

With its captivating parade spectacles, luminous celebrations, and welcoming festive spirit, Hong Kong’s Lunar New Year promises joy at every moment. This Year of the Horse, travellers are invited to embrace the energy, happiness, and optimism that Hong Kong radiates at this special time of year.

New Delhi [India], January 28: Ms. Vinita Murgesh Padyachi – Managing Director: With over 3+ years of specialized experience in the solar industry, Ms. Padyachi leads with deep expertise in renewable solutions and business operations. Her focus on channel development has been the catalyst for Sunroute’s rapid expansion across the Indian market.

Under the visionary leadership of its founding members, Sunroute is not just selling solar panels; it is building a sustainable ecosystem through its unique franchise model, which includes Channel Partnerships, Distributor Partners, and Master Distributor Partners.

Leadership Driving the Green Shift

The success of Sunroute Energy Solution is anchored in the expertise of its core leadership:

As the national push for energy independence intensifies, Surat-based Sunroute Energy Solution has emerged as a powerhouse in the renewable energy sector. With a robust pan-India presence and a mission to democratise clean energy, the brand is transforming how households and businesses perceive power consumption.

As summer temperatures rise and electricity tariffs continue to climb, a growing number of residents in Gujarat and across India are making a one-time investment that effectively “deletes” their monthly power bills. Leading this green transition is Sunroute Energy Solution, a premier renewable energy firm making high-tech solar energy accessible for every household and commercial establishment.

With the central government’s PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, the financial barrier to solar has never been lower. Sunroute Solar specializes in navigating these subsidies, ensuring that homeowners can claim maximum benefits—up to ₹78,000—while installing world-class solar technology.

Why Sunroute is the Preferred Choice for Homeowners:

High-Efficiency Modules: Using the latest TOPCon and Bi-facial technologies, Sunroute systems generate more power even in low-light or cloudy conditions.

Ms. Harshita Singh – Director: known for a strategic mindset and operational clarity, Ms Singh brings 2+ years of sector-focused experience. She plays a pivotal role in strengthening the company’s partner ecosystem and long-term growth roadmap.

A Versatile Portfolio: Sunroute offers a comprehensive range of products, including On-Grid and Off-Grid systems. Beyond standard solar, their “Hybrid Energy Portfolio” includes Wind Energy solutions and Advanced Energy Storage (Batteries), ensuring your home stays powered even during night-time or grid outages.

End-to-End Service: From initial site feasibility and structural design to government documentation and post-installation AMC (Annual Maintenance), Sunroute manages the entire lifecycle.

“Many people think solar is just about panels on a roof,” says the Technical Lead at Sunroute Solar Solutions. “It’s actually about financial freedom. Most of our retail clients recover their entire installation cost within 3 years through savings. After that, they enjoy free electricity for the next 22+ years.”

For small businesses and factories, the “Sunroute Advantage” is even greater. With Section 32 Accelerated Depreciation benefits and reduced operational costs, solar doesn’t just save money—it directly increases a company’s bottom-line profit.

Davos, [Switzerland], January 27: Davos usually speaks in numbers. This year, it listened to values. Padma Shri Brahmeshanand Swamiji arrived at the World Economic Forum 2026 with a message the room couldn’t ignore.

The World Economic Forum 2026 unfolded against a familiar backdrop. Snow-covered Alps. Tight security. Big conversations about growth, disruption, and global uncertainty. But inside the Open Forum sessions in Davos, something different cut through the noise.

Padma Shri Sadguru Brahmeshanand Acharya Swamiji, one of India’s most respected spiritual leaders and social impact advocates, took part in the World Economic Forum’s Open Forum 2026. The platform ran alongside the main WEF Annual Meeting and carried a deceptively simple theme: “A Spirit of Dialogue.”

Simple, yes. But not soft.

What followed was a reminder that leadership without values eventually collapses under its own weight.

India’s Spiritual Voice on a Global Stage

Padma Shri Brahmeshanand Swamiji’s participation at the World Economic Forum 2026 was not ceremonial. It was substantive. Measured. Intentional.

Engaging directly with global leaders, policymakers, civil society representatives, and members of the public, Swamiji focused on a question many Davos conversations quietly dodge. What anchors decision-making when markets shake, politics fracture, and trust erodes?

His answer stayed consistent. Values-based leadership. Ethical clarity. Spiritual wisdom that translates into action.

This was not theology. It was governance, reframed.

India’s civilisational emphasis on dharma, responsibility, and collective wellbeing found a contemporary voice in Davos. Without slogans. Without theatrics. Just clarity.

The Open Forum’s Real Purpose

The World Economic Forum’s Open Forum exists for a reason. It breaks the insulation. It allows leaders and citizens to share the same room, the same microphone, the same questions.

At WEF 2026, the Open Forum focused on economic, social, and environmental transformation. Not as abstract goals, but as lived realities affecting billions.

Padma Shri Brahmeshanand Swamiji’s presence reinforced why the Open Forum matters. Global challenges cannot be solved in closed-door boardrooms alone. They demand dialogue. Real dialogue. Sometimes uncomfortable. Often slower than markets prefer.

But necessary.

Ethics as Infrastructure, Not Ornament

One theme ran through Swamiji’s interventions at the World Economic Forum 2026. Ethics is not an accessory. It is infrastructure.

He emphasized that sustainable solutions demand moral grounding. Economic growth without compassion fractures societies. Technological advancement without responsibility magnifies inequality. Policy without empathy alienates citizens.

These are not philosophical musings. They are observable patterns.

From climate action to social cohesion, Swamiji highlighted how ethical decision-making determines whether progress endures or collapses. His framing resonated in a forum increasingly aware that efficiency alone does not build trust.

Compassion, Sustainability, Collective Responsibility

Three words anchored the dialogue. Compassion. Sustainability. Collective responsibility.

Padma Shri Brahmeshanand Swamiji argued that compassion is not weakness. It is strategic intelligence. Societies that care for their most vulnerable stabilise faster and innovate deeper.

Sustainability, he stressed, cannot remain a checkbox. It must inform how economies grow, how resources are allocated, and how future generations are considered. Not as beneficiaries of charity. As rightful stakeholders.

Collective responsibility tied it all together. Global problems do not respect borders. Neither should solutions. The Swamiji’s perspective echoed India’s long-standing worldview. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. The world is one family.

At Davos, that idea found practical relevance.

The Growing Role of Spiritual Leadership

The participation of Padma Shri Brahmeshanand Swamiji at the World Economic Forum 2026 also reflected a broader shift. The growing recognition that moral and spiritual leadership has a seat at the table.

Not above economics. Alongside it.

As global systems strain under complexity, leaders are searching for anchors. Metrics alone cannot provide meaning. Incentives alone cannot restore trust. Spiritual leadership, when grounded and inclusive, offers a compass.

Swamiji’s engagement demonstrated that spiritual voices need not oppose modernity. They can guide it.

India’s Quiet Influence at WEF 2026

India’s presence at Davos often shows up through markets, technology, and demographics. This time, it also arrived through values.

Padma Shri Brahmeshanand Swamiji embodied an Indian perspective that blends ancient wisdom with contemporary relevance. A reminder that India’s contribution to global discourse is not limited to scale or speed. It includes thought leadership shaped over millennia.

His participation at the Open Forum reinforced India’s role as a moral stakeholder in global conversations. Calm. Confident. Constructive.

Why This Moment Matters

The World Economic Forum 2026 will be remembered for many things. Policy debates. Economic forecasts. Strategic alignments.

But moments like these linger longer.

When a spiritual leader stands shoulder to shoulder with policymakers and business heads, not to preach but to engage, it shifts the tone. It humanises power. It reframes success.

Padma Shri Brahmeshanand Swamiji did not arrive with answers to every problem. He arrived with the right questions. About purpose. Responsibility. And the cost of forgetting both.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 27: Actor, producer, and director S.K. Tiwari’s beautiful Hindi music album, “Waqt”, is releasing soon on the TPS Music YouTube channel. The music video stars S.K. Tiwari as the lead actor and Bigg Boss fame Hema Sharma as the heroine. Both have delivered stellar performances.

The most special feature of this song is that this melody-filled song was shot in Mumbai and will soon be released to audiences.

The singer and composer is Sudhir Trivedi, and the lyricist is Sangeeta Trivedi. The video is choreographed by DC Chaturvedi. A stunning poster for S.K. Tiwari’s new project has been released.

S.K. Tiwari says that this is a Hindi music album that highlights the importance of time. Its lyrics go like this: “Time is so cruel that it takes away childhood and then youth.” Everyone will be able to relate to this song, as everyone has both suffered from time and found healing through it. This world, the entire universe, moves according to time, and time is both king and pauper.”

Its composer, Sudhir Trivedi, has sung it with great passion, which is sure to resonate with audiences. SK Tiwari and Hema Sharma have showcased their captivating acting skills.

The album “Waqt,” presented by Tiwari Productions, is set to be released on TPS Music, a YouTube channel where all the songs released are sure to touch the hearts of listeners. These songs are also meant to soothe the mind and soul.

SK Tiwari consistently releases excellent songs on the YouTube channel TPS Music. Under the banner of Tiwari Productions, SK Tiwari has been presenting songs that have received immense love from audiences. Most importantly, he presents songs from every genre to the audience. He has also produced and directed this song.

Hema Sharma, known as “Viral Bhabhi,” is very excited about this song. She says that when she heard about “Waqt,” she felt she had to  Upon hearing the song, she agreed to be a part of it. S.K. Tiwari has beautifully directed the video, and she has also acted brilliantly in it. This music video will be a great treat for the audience.

As you all know, shooting under Tiwari Productions is carried out with utmost precision. Smoking, non-vegetarian food, or alcohol are absolutely not allowed on their sets. For the past several years, Tiwari Productions has been passionate about its work, regardless of the consequences.

S.K. Tiwari’s upcoming films as an actor include “Tiwari Sarkar,” a biopic of Chandrashekhar Azad. His real name was Chandrashekhar Tiwari, who was known as Chandrashekhar Azad. S.K. Tiwari will produce and direct this film himself. His second film, “Sorry,” is scheduled to begin shooting soon. His third film, “Kilkari,” will begin shooting in March. His web series, “Dasi” and “Muskane Jhoothi Hai,” are also being developed for major OTT platforms. Tiwari Productions is actively pursuing new projects.

S.K. Tiwari is fully involved in all projects of Tiwari Productions’ YouTube channel, Sanatan World, and TPS Music. He directs and produces only those films or web series in which he stars. S.K. Tiwari has never worked on a project under any other banner. In all projects produced under Tiwari Productions, special care is taken to ensure that the content is for the entire family. Parents, brothers, and sisters can all watch together. Whether it’s a music video or a web series, not a single shot is obscene. Today, very few producers make a project without bold scenes. S.K. Tiwari says that a hit is simply the content; boldness is not a hit. He consistently creates content that raises awareness about the nation, society, and religion.

New Delhi [India], January 26: This story refused to end for years. Now it’s cornered. The India EU Free Trade Agreement is finally being treated like something real.

Start with the optics. Delhi. Republic Day afterglow. Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosting European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa. That alone sets the temperature.

But the substance matters more.

An announcement signalling the conclusion of talks on the India EU Free Trade Agreement is expected to anchor the summit. Not buried. Not vague. Front and centre. Alongside it, a strategic defence pact and a mobility framework that quietly says more than the speeches will.

Von der Leyen didn’t hedge. “A successful India makes the world more stable, prosperous and secure.” That line wasn’t crafted for poetry. It was admission.

Europe has recalculated.

The India EU Free Trade Agreement began in 2007, back when optimism came cheap. Then it stalled. By 2013, ambition gaps were blamed. Translation: nobody wanted to bend first. The file gathered dust for nearly a decade.

Then June 2022 cracked it open again.

This time, the tone shifted. Less sermonising. Fewer red lines shouted across tables. More spreadsheets. More supply chains. More uncomfortable honesty about dependence, resilience, and who can actually deliver when systems wobble.

That wobble is now permanent.

Trade numbers don’t whisper anymore. They announce themselves. The European Union is India’s largest trading partner in goods. In FY 2024–25, total goods trade hit about USD 136 billion. India exported roughly USD 76 billion. Imports landed near USD 60 billion.

That scale rewires priorities.

The India EU Free Trade Agreement is expected to change texture, not just totals.

Tariffs matter, sure. So do standards, market access, regulatory friction, and the ability to move faster without asking permission every quarter.

This is not romance. It’s plumbing.

Trade, though, is only the loudest piece.

Defence cooperation has stepped out of the shadows. A proposed Security and Defence Partnership is set to be unveiled at the summit. Officials talk about interoperability. About trust. About aligning capabilities rather than duplicating them.

There’s a sharper edge underneath.

The partnership opens doors for Indian firms to participate in the EU’s SAFE programme. SAFE. Security Action for Europe. A Euro 150 billion financial instrument designed to accelerate defence readiness.

That money isn’t theoretical. It’s already allocated. Europe wants speed. India offers scale and cost discipline. This isn’t charity. It’s mutual convenience, dressed in strategy.

Then comes the Security of Information Agreement. Dry name. Serious consequences. Without SOIA, industrial defence cooperation stays shallow. With it, joint projects become possible. Quietly. Efficiently.

No applause required.

Mobility, though, will get the headlines. A memorandum of understanding to facilitate the movement of Indian workers to Europe is expected as another summit outcome. It creates a framework. Nothing dramatic. Nothing reckless.

France, Germany, and Italy already have migration and mobility partnerships with India. This just broadens the map.

Europe has ageing populations and labour gaps it no longer hides. India has people. Skills. Ambition. The debate on that equation is over.

Beyond these pillars, the agenda sprawls deliberately. Climate change. Critical technologies. Rules-based order. Familiar phrases, yes. But the context has hardened.

Washington’s trade and security posture forced Europe to rethink old dependencies. India watched closely. Then negotiated accordingly.

India and the European Union have been strategic partners since 2004. For years, that label felt ceremonial. It doesn’t now.

Global tensions will surface at the table. The Russia-Ukraine war will be discussed. European officials have made their stance clear. President Costa is expected to call it an existential threat and a challenge to the rules-based international order, with ripple effects beyond Europe.

India’s view is stable. Strategic autonomy. Dialogue. Balance. No theatre.

They don’t agree on everything. Nobody pretends they do anymore. What they share is a core interest in stability that doesn’t collapse into dependency or drift.

The India EU Free Trade Agreement sits at the centre of that shared interest. Not as a trophy. As ballast.

New Delhi [India], January 26: Everyone keeps pretending this is complicated. It isn’t. The number has been stable for decades, and the arguments around it are mostly coping strategies dressed up as productivity theory. Adult humans need roughly eight hours of sleep. Not “six to seven.” Not “whatever works for you.” Eight. Nightly. Repeatedly. Forever. The variability people cite exists at the margins, and almost no one lives there.

You can survive on less. You can function. You can even perform. That’s the trap. Sleep deprivation is generous that way. It gives you just enough rope to believe you’re the exception. The brain adapts poorly but convincingly. Reaction time dulls. Judgment warps. Emotional regulation frays. You don’t feel tired so much as narrower. More certain. That’s why the underslept are always so confident about being underslept.

The data stopped being interesting a long time ago. EEGs flatten. Hormones drift. Glucose tolerance degrades. Immune response thins. This isn’t controversial, it’s boring. The only reason it’s still discussed is that the conclusion is inconvenient. Eight hours cost time. It pushes against work, ambition, children, screens, and cities. So people negotiate with it. Badly.

Short sleepers get a lot of attention. They’re real. They’re also rare enough to be statistical noise in everyday conversation. If you don’t know, with clinical certainty, that you are one, you aren’t. Feeling “fine” doesn’t count. Everyone feels fine right up until they don’t, and then they retrofit a story about stress, age, or burnout. Sleep never gets blamed. It should.

There’s an old myth that humans used to sleep less. Pre-industrial biphasic nights, candles, dawn chores. Romantic nonsense. When artificial light disappears, and alarms stop barking, people sleep longer, not shorter. The body stretches out. Nine hours isn’t unusual. The nervous system takes what it’s owed when no one is stealing from it.

The modern compromise—six hours on weekdays, “catching up” on weekends—is physiologically incoherent. You can’t amortise sleep debt. The brain doesn’t keep a ledger and forgive balances on Sunday. It just accumulates damage and masks it with adrenaline. Monday arrives, and the cycle resumes. People call this normal because it’s common. Those aren’t synonyms.

Age doesn’t save you. You don’t need less sleep because you’re older; you get less sleep because sleep becomes harder to hold. Fragmentation increases. Depth decreases. The requirement doesn’t budge. The gap widens. This is why older adults feel brittle and insist they’re “used to it.” Used to impairment is still impairment.

Children and teenagers need more, not because they’re delicate, but because growth is metabolically violent. The brain is rewiring itself nightly. Cutting that short doesn’t make them tougher. It makes them duller, sadder, and harder to live with. Then we diagnose the downstream effects and sell treatments that would be unnecessary if we’d just let them sleep.

You can optimise around the edges. Timing. Light exposure. Caffeine discipline. None of that changes the core fact. Sleep is not a lifestyle choice. It’s a biological floor. Drop below it, and the structure above starts cracking. Quietly at first. Then all at once.

People love to say they’ll sleep when things calm down. Things don’t calm down. Life is not a valley between peaks; it’s a plateau of sustained demand. Waiting for a season where eight hours feels convenient is another way of deciding not to do it.

The culture that praises exhaustion isn’t confused. It’s extractive. Sleep competes with output, so it gets reframed as indulgence. Rest as weakness. Fatigue as proof of effort. This works until bodies start failing earlier than they should. Then we act surprised.

Eight hours. Dark room. Night after night. No drama. No hacks. The price is time. The return is a nervous system that still works.

That’s the deal.

New Delhi [India], January 24: Jaun Elia did not arrive in India quietly. He arrived amplified. Through a microphone that was not his.

For most Indian readers under thirty-five, Jaun Elia did not come from libraries, serious Urdu study, or the long lineage of Progressive Writers. He came through Kumar Vishwas. That is not an insult. That is a logistical fact. Cultural transmission rarely cares about purity.

Vishwas didn’t reinterpret Jaun. He recited him. He named him. He repeated him on stages that reached places where Urdu poetry had not travelled in decades. Small towns. College auditoriums. Televised mushairas. You can dislike the circuit and still admit its reach. Without that reach, Jaun would have remained what he already was in India: a cult poet with no distribution.

This is how influence actually works. Not romantically. Practically.

Once the door was opened, Jaun Elia did the rest himself. He didn’t need an explanation. He needed exposure. Indian youth heard the lines and recognised the temperature immediately. Something colder than nostalgia. Sharper than heartbreak. A voice uninterested in emotional hygiene.

Jaun does not console. He doesn’t guide. He doesn’t even argue properly. He states. Then retracts. Then mocks his own statement. The effect is destabilising, which is precisely why it works on a generation raised on certainty masquerading as wisdom.

Take the lines that circulate endlessly now, usually stripped of attribution, floating free of context:

“Main bhi bohat ajeeb hoon, itna ajeeb hoon ke bas
Khud ko tabaah kar liya, aur malaal bhi nahin.”
I am strange—strangely so;
I ruined myself completely and felt no regret.

There is no lesson embedded here. No redemption arc. Just self-recognition without apology. That tone is rare in Indian public culture, which prefers either moral victory or emotional recovery. Jaun offers neither.

His popularity isn’t about sadness. That’s the surface reading. It’s about intellectual disobedience. He refuses to behave the way a poet is expected to behave. He doesn’t elevate pain. He interrogates it until it becomes tedious, then admits the tedium.

“Shayad mujhe kisi se mohabbat nahin hui,
Lekin yaqeen sab ko dilata raha hoon main.”
Perhaps I never loved anyone at all,
Yet I kept convincing everyone that I did.

This is not romance. It’s a self-indictment. And it lands hard among young readers exhausted by curated sincerity.

Jaun’s life feeds this voice, but doesn’t romanticise it. Born into scholarship, fluent across languages, burdened with intellectual inheritance—he still failed spectacularly at the basic logistics of living. Marriage collapsed. Politics disappointed him. Ideologies bored him. Migration gave him geography, not belonging. He never turned these failures into mythology. He left them raw, often embarrassing.

That honesty is abrasive. Indian youth recognise it because it mirrors their own private disillusionment. Not dramatic despair. Quiet erosion.

What Vishwas did—again, factually—is create the first large-scale Indian listening public for Jaun Elia. After that, social media finished the job. Clips became captions. Captions became passwords for emotional literacy. The poems detached from the stage and moved inward.

Jaun Elia now lives in phone screens at 2 a.m. Not as inspiration. As permission.

Permission to doubt one’s own feelings.
Permission to distrust slogans.
Permission to say “I don’t know” without packaging it as growth.

“Kya kaha ishq jawaan hai?
Abhi yeh bachcha hai.”
You say love is young?
No—it’s still a child.

This line circulates because it punctures the fantasy without replacing it. That’s Jaun’s entire method.

People worry about his effect on young minds. That he normalises despair. This misunderstands both the poet and the audience. Jaun didn’t create the disquiet. He gave it language. Sanitising that language would not make the disquiet disappear. It would only make it quieter and lonelier.

Jaun Elia does not want to heal anyone. He doesn’t offer exits. He doesn’t respect optimism enough to argue with it.

And Indian youth—introduced to him first by a voice they trusted, then claimed him on their own terms—didn’t ask him to.

They heard him.
They stayed.
That was enough.

New Delhi [India], January 24: Akshay Kumar is back. Priyadarshan is back. And they’re not messing around. Bhooth Bangla isn’t a polite rom-com or a half-baked thriller. It’s a full-throttle comedy-horror, built to jolt, tickle, and entertain simultaneously. Think Tony Stark designing a haunted mansion: flashy, chaotic, and impossible to ignore.

Akshay & Priyadarshan: Reunion Goals

This is not merely a reunion, but a complete Bollywood event. The last time Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan collaborated was more than 14 years ago, producing hits that are now classics of Indian comedy cinema. Fans have been eagerly awaiting this chemistry.

Akshay brings his usual energy: martial arts combined with sharp dialogue, while Priyadarshan directs the comedy chaos with pinpoint precision. Together, they vow a movie where timing is everything—humour, suspense, and genuine fright all coexist.

At a time when horror films have become copy-pasted gore-fests and rom-coms are endlessly recycled, Bhooth Bangla dares to be different. Indian audiences are ready for intelligent chaos, and this movie delivers.

Cast Explosion: Who the Hell is in the House?

Ensemble casts are a Bollywood favourite, but Bhooth Bangla elevates it a notch higher. Akshay Kumar anchors the film, but the supporting cast ensures an endless stream of brilliant moments.

• Tabu: Intensity meets subtle comedy; she adds believability and keeps scenes grounded.

• Wamiqa Gabbi & Jisshu Sengupta: Younger leads inject fresh energy and charm.

• Paresh Rawal & Rajpal Yadav: Comedy legends; they don’t just make you laugh—they dominate every scene.

• Asrani, Rajesh Sharma, Manoj Joshi: Seasoned actors providing depth and impeccable timing.

• Mithila Palkar: Modern, relatable humour for the millennial audience.

In terms of laughs per minute, this cast overperforms. Even background interactions are staged to maximise humour. This is ensemble comedy at its finest.

Comedy Meets Horror: The Ideal Cocktail

Bollywood has tried comedy-horror numerous times, and a few have succeeded. Priyadarshan has a doctorate in combining slapstick, suspense, and supernatural tension.

Picture this: a haunted bungalow, ghosts with attitude, humans scrambling, and Akshay Kumar striding through it all like Harvey Spectre negotiating a deal. That’s the level of timing and energy at play.

The horror is narrative-driven. Forget cheap jump-scares—here, no haunting feels out of place, no scream is wasted. Comedy doesn’t dilute tension; it amplifies it. And the dialogue? Blunt, occasionally sarcastic, never monotonous.

This combination will resonate with India’s multiplex audiences, who are tired of formulaic Hollywood-inspired thrillers. Bhooth Bangla doesn’t sneak in—it storms in with confidence.

Priyadarshan’s Signature Chaos

Priyadarshan is the maestro of orchestrated chaos. From Hera Pheri to Hungama, he knows how to handle ensemble comedy without losing the plot. Bhooth Bangla is no exception: layered jokes, character-driven humour, and impeccable timing.

Every actor gets their moment. Akshay delivers literal and verbal punches. Tabu smirks as she causes havoc. Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav steal scenes effortlessly. With Priyadarshan at the helm, the chaos never feels forced—it’s calculated entertainment.

Think Elon Musk testing a rocket while juggling fireworks and stand-up comedy. That’s the level of disciplined chaos Priyadarshan delivers.

Behind the Scenes & Production Insights

Shooting Bhooth Bangla wasn’t easy. The production team meticulously designed sets to allow smooth movement for actors, cameras, and CGI effects. Bungalows weren’t just haunted—they were engineered to deliver scares and laughs simultaneously.

Special effects are effective but subtle, blending realistic hauntings with cartoonish exaggeration where needed. Music cues heighten both tension and humour. Cinematography balances the eerie with the absurd, maintaining tone throughout.

This is Bollywood on steroids: every frame matters, every joke has purpose, every scare is deliberate.

Buzz and Fan Expectation in Marketing

Fans have been vocal online. BookMyShow demand is off the charts. Social media teasers hint at chaotic, comedic, and scary moments. Promotional events and campaigns are planned in metro cities, showing the studio’s confidence in the film’s reach.

This level of hype for a comedy-horror hasn’t been seen in Bollywood for years. It’s bold, loud, and unapologetically entertaining. The marketing clearly targets millennials and Gen Z—audiences craving thrills, nostalgia, and laughter in a single package.

Release Date and Ticket Highlights

• Release Date: 15 May 2026

• Format: 2D, Hindi

• Cities: Major metros including Surat, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore

• Theatres: Pragati Cinemas, Rajhans Multiplex, PVR, Popcorn Movies

• Tickets: Booking live on BookMyShow

• Offers: Buy-one-get-one, credit card deals, loyalty benefits

If you’re hesitating, here’s the blunt truth: skipping this would be like missing Hera Pheri in its prime. Don’t even think about it.

Oxford [United Kingdom], January 24: We keep using the wrong verbs. Save. Reverse. Fix. As if the planet were a dropped phone screen and not a system with momentum, inertia, and a memory longer than ours. As if we didn’t already cross lines quietly, one data set at a time, while arguing about tone and timelines.

The planet doesn’t need saving. It will be fine in the way rocks are fine. What’s unravelling is the version of the world we built our lives around. Stable seasons. Predictable coastlines. Agriculture that behaves. Insurance that makes sense. Cities where summer doesn’t feel like an endurance test. That’s what’s going away. Piece by piece. Unevenly. Expensively.

This shift already happened, by the way. The conversation just lagged.

We still talk about mitigation because it feels active. Noble. Forward-looking. But the numbers have moved on. So have the feedback loops. Ice loss accelerates warming, which accelerates ice loss, and round it goes, indifferent to press releases. Carbon lingers. Oceans absorb heat slowly and release it more slowly. Time doesn’t reset just because policy finally wakes up.

Managing loss is less cinematic. There’s no heroic arc. It’s accounting. Triage. Deciding what gets protected and what doesn’t, even when no one wants to say that part out loud. Which neighbourhoods get flood barriers? Which forests are allowed to burn because fighting every fire is no longer possible? Which crops stop being viable where they’ve been grown for centuries? These aren’t future questions. They’re zoning meetings, insurance filings, and budget reallocations happening right now.

And yes, this makes people uncomfortable. Loss feels like failure. Especially in cultures addicted to growth narratives and fix-it energy. But pretending otherwise doesn’t slow the damage. It just delays adaptation until it’s harsher and more chaotic.

Look at water. Not hypothetically—actually look at it. Snowpack declining. Rivers misbehaving. Reservoirs are swinging between extremes. Some regions are drowning while others are drying out. Infrastructure built for a climate that no longer exists is being asked to perform anyway. It can’t. Pipes crack. Levees fail. Treatment plants flood. The response is usually reactive. Emergency funds. Temporary fixes. Then everyone moves on until the next “unprecedented” event, a word that’s lost all meaning.

Food systems follow. Not collapse, not overnight. Just thinning margins. Lower yields. Price volatility that feels random until you trace it back to heat stress and disrupted growing cycles. Farmers know this already. They’ve been adjusting planting dates and switching varieties quietly, pragmatically, without speeches. That’s loss management. Nobody calls it that because it doesn’t sell hope.

Biodiversity loss gets framed as tragic, which it is, but tragedy implies a beginning and an end. This is attrition. Fewer insects. Fewer birds. Simplified ecosystems that still function, technically, but less resiliently. Things work until they don’t. Then the failures cascade. Pollination issues here. Pest outbreaks there. Another invisible subsidy from nature quietly withdrawn.

Human displacement is where the abstraction finally breaks. People don’t “relocate” because it’s trendy. They leave because the math stops working. Rebuilding every few years doesn’t pencil out. Insurance disappears. Wells go salty. Heat makes outdoor labour impossible for weeks at a time. Migration follows gradients of livability, not ideology. And it’s already reshaping politics in ways no one wants to fully acknowledge.

Managing loss means planning for this movement instead of acting shocked by it. It means cities are preparing to absorb people, not just repel water. It means admitting that some places will become harder to inhabit without massive, ongoing investment. And that some won’t get it.

There’s a moral discomfort here that never resolves. Who gets protected? Who adapts. Who pays. Who is remembered? Loss management isn’t fair. It’s negotiated under pressure, constrained by budgets, attention spans and power. That’s not cynicism. That’s observation.

The old climate story centred on prevention because it offered control. Change the inputs, save the outcome. That model is gone. We’re in the downstream phase now, dealing with accumulated decisions and delayed consequences. Emissions cuts still matter, obviously. They shape the slope of what’s coming. But they don’t erase what’s already locked in.

So the work shifts. From slogans to logistics. From promises to preparation. From “How do we stop this?” to “What do we lose, and how do we lose it without everything else collapsing too?”

It’s not inspiring. It doesn’t fit neatly on a banner. It requires long attention, uncomfortable honesty, and a willingness to accept that some damage is permanent. That certain versions of normal are gone for good.

The planet will keep spinning. Life will adapt, mutate, reassemble. The question isn’t survival in the abstract. It’s whose lives get harder, whose histories get submerged, and how much chaos we’re willing to tolerate by refusing to name loss for what it is.

That’s the phase we’re in. Whether we like the language or not.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 23: The grand star-studded launch saw artists, industry icons, and music connoisseurs gather to celebrate what is being hailed as India’s biggest and most powerful Sufi album. To name a few were Neeraj Bhatia, Vipin Pathania, Smita Gondkar, Abhimanyu Singh, Sargam Singh, Vipul Roy, Aamir Ali, Umar Riaz, Sonia Birje and many more.

Mumbai witnessed a resplendent, spiritually charged evening as celebrated musical duo Shaarib Sabri & Toshi Sabri unveiled the second song, “Ishq Da Haasil,” from their long-awaited, dream Sufi album ROOHANIYAT, presented by Opul Music.
A ten-track spiritual odyssey, Roohaniyat is a musical tapestry of Sufi serenity, divine energy, and transcendent emotion. Steeped in spiritual fervour and crafted with the unmistakable Sabri signature, the album stands as a testament to Shaarib and Toshi’s artistic evolution and unwavering devotion to music that elevates the soul.

“Ishq Da Haasil” features the voices of Shaarib & Toshi along with Nakash Aziz, beautifully encapsulating the journey of spiritual love—the kind that dissolves ego, awakens consciousness, and brings one closer to the divine. With hauntingly powerful vocals, soulful arrangements, and poetry that lingers long after the music fades, the track represents the heart of Sufi philosophy: love as the ultimate truth.
The song blends traditional mysticism with contemporary resonance, creating a soundscape that draws listeners into a higher state of emotional and spiritual awareness. True to the Sabri lineage, “Ishq Da Haasil” reverberates with purity, passion, and prayer.

Shaarib Sabri, speaking about the album, said,

“‘Ishq Da Haasil,’ the second track from Roohaniyat, is a simple yet heartfelt take on love that brings peace, clarity, and genuine connection. The song focuses on the kind of love that makes a person feel seen and understood, a love that changes you from within. With honest vocals and an easy, soulful melody, ‘Ishq Da Haasil’ is designed to make listeners feel warm, comforted, and emotionally anchored. It’s a relatable, real expression of love that stays with you.”

Toshi Sabri says,

“With ‘Ishq Da Haasil,’ we wanted to create a song that feels honest and real. It’s about the kind of love that steadies you in life—the love that gives you strength on days when nothing else makes sense. This track comes from a very personal place, and we hope people connect with it in their own way.”

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 22: Paramatrix Technologies Limited (Paramatrix) (NSE: PARAMATRIX), a trusted provider of enterprise software products and digital IT services, has announced the completion of the first tranche of its acquisition of Metasys Software Private Limited.

Following this transaction, Metasys has become a subsidiary, with the remaining stake proposed to be acquired in subsequent tranches as planned.

Detailed Comparison, Real-World Riding Review, Price Breakdown, and Which Adventure Bike Actually Makes Sense

You look at price first because that’s unavoidable. The Himalayan 450 sits higher on the invoice. You pay more upfront. On paper that seems like a disadvantage. The reality is you pay for a bigger tank, a more developed chassis, a brand with deeper service reach, and parts that actually exist in third-tier towns. This is not romance. This is travel math. The Yezdi Adventure is cheaper, yes—but you trade certainty for a lower sticker. In cities it barely matters. In real distance, it does.

Engine & Performance

Himalayan 450:

• What you get: torque that never spikes, power you can predict in dust, gravel, pavement.

• Price factor: you pay extra for that broad, tractable powerband.

• Con: no fireworks. Overtaking takes patience.

Yezdi Adventure:

• What you get: punchier feel, eager midrange that feels quicker in short bursts.

• Price factor: cheaper engine package, less refinement.

• Con: sharp throttle means you’re always managing vibration and heat.

Clutch & Gearbox

Himalayan:

• You get a light, progressive clutch. Gearbox is functional, not slick.

• On-road price value: you spend less mental energy crawling through traffic or slow trails.

• Con: shifts are not precision-machine smooth.

Yezdi:

• You get crisper shifts, heavier clutch.

• Lower price means less refinement in leverage and modulation.

• Con: harder to modulate in slow, technical sections.

Chassis & Stability

Himalayan:

• You get planted straight-line behavior. Works over broken surfaces.

• Price here buys stability and predictable compliance.

• Con: slower direction changes on twisty tar.

Yezdi:

• You get sharper turn-in. On clean roads it feels more agile.

• Lower price compromises settle-down composure on uneven surfaces.

• Con: you’re always correcting.

Suspension

Himalayan:

• Pros: compliant, absorbs rubble, predictable response.

• Price buys comfort over long days.

• Con: gives little feedback for aggressive riding.

Yezdi:

• Pros: firmer, feels controlled on smooth roads.

• Price factor: cheaper damping tech, so sharp feedback on bad surfaces.

• Con: endurance fatigue starts early.

Braking

Himalayan:

• Pros: progressive, easy to modulate off-road.

• Price investment buys confidence under varied traction.

• Con: weak initial bite at speed.

Yezdi:

• Pros: stronger bite on road.

• Price reduces refinement in modulation.

• Con: demands precision off road.

Ergonomics & Comfort

Himalayan:

• You get neutral posture, wide bars, seat that won’t fight you after hours.

• Price is partly for that long-distance thoughtfulness.

• Con: seat is firm, not cushy.

Yezdi:

• You get a compact, sporty feel.

• Price buys style and initial comfort.

• Con: comfort fades over extended stints.

Heat & Vibration

Himalayan:

• Pros: managed heat, low vibration.

• Price buys internal balancing and smoother mounts.

• Con: engine feels muted to enthusiasts.
