The programme, anchored around a cycle rally through the stadium precinct and a community Zumba session, was positioned by organisers as both a fitness drive and an awareness exercise for the Commonwealth Games 2030 cycle. Officials said the format was designed to draw participation across age groups and uniformed services.

Chief Secretary leads from the front

Rajasthan Chief Secretary V. Srinivas cycled the 5-kilometre route alongside personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and other participants. "This is not merely a celebration; it is a meaningful beginning towards national health consciousness and our preparation for Commonwealth 2030," Srinivas told participants at the stadium, according to event organisers.

The chief secretary's participation, officials said, was intended to signal administrative backing for community-led fitness programming in the state capital.

Central forces, state sports brass join in

Senior officers of the central armed police forces were present in strength. CRPF Deputy Inspector General Brijesh and the Assistant Commandant of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) led contingents from their respective units in the rally.

From the state sports establishment, Rajasthan State Sports Council Secretary Praveen Gupta and Finance Secretary Tina Soni cycled with participants. Officials of the Sports Authority of India (SAI) also took part, with the agency's representatives encouraging youth participation and fitness outreach, organisers said.

Speakers flag community sport, public health

Speakers at the event focused on three themes: the role of physical fitness in public health, community participation in sport, and India's expanding competitive ecosystem. Participants told reporters at the venue that Jaipur and the wider state required a higher frequency of such open-access fitness events, particularly in the run-up to 2030.

The Zumba session, held alongside the rally, drew a mixed-age turnout and was described by organisers as a deliberate attempt to broaden the event beyond competitive cyclists.

Context: why Commonwealth 2030 framing matters

The Commonwealth Day 2030 theme reflects a wider administrative push across Indian states to align local fitness programming with the next Commonwealth Games cycle. The Fit India Movement, launched by the central government in 2019, has periodically used Sunday community events to anchor public health messaging.

Closing pledge

The programme concluded with a collective pledge by participants to support fitness, discipline and India's sporting ambitions on the global stage. Organisers indicated that further editions of Cycle Sunday would follow in Jaipur in the coming weeks. Story will be updated as further details are confirmed.

The event, according to organisers, is being positioned as a tribute to Rajasthani heritage and a platform for women's empowerment, combining a mass cultural performance with a parallel self-defence training initiative for participants.

Organisers outline three core objectives

Speaking at the poster launch, Sadbhavna Parivar president Manoj Pandey said the August 1 event would feature three key components: a record-attempt mass Ghoomar performance, self-defence training sessions for women participants, and a broader campaign to project Rajasthani folk culture on a global platform.

"Aapno Ghoomar is not merely a dance — it is a confluence of women's strength, culture, and self-confidence. Ghoomar is the pride of Rajasthan, and on August 1, Jaipur will show the world the strength of Rajasthan," Pandey said in a statement released by the organisation.

Organisers said the self-defence component would be conducted alongside dance rehearsals in the run-up to the main event, though specific training partners and venues have not yet been disclosed.

Choreography team and attendees

The choreography for the mass performance will be led by Rohit Sharma, described by organisers as a World Book of Records holder for Ghoomar choreography. He will be assisted by a team including Sonu Kumawat, Deepali Gupta, Seema Sethi, Vishal Kataria, Pooja Dabai, and Sonu Malhotra.

The poster launch was attended by Shivkanta Pandey of Sadbhavna Parivar, along with members Anjali Sisodia, Chaman Vijay, Aarti Mathur, Pratima Bhardwaj, Muskan Parwani, Sujata Sharma, Meena Singhal, Preeti Jain, Neha Gandhi, Meenakshi Jain, Kirti Sharma, Sapna Jain, Daulat Sharma, Jyoti Gupta, Kavita, and Ankita Mishra, the organisation said.

Context: Ghoomar and previous mass-performance attempts

Ghoomar is a traditional folk dance of Rajasthan, historically performed by women of the Bhil community and later adopted across the state's Rajput communities. It gained wider national attention after being featured in the 2018 Hindi film "Padmaavat."

Mass Ghoomar performances have previously been attempted in Rajasthan as part of state-led cultural promotions, including events organised under the Rajasthan tourism department's calendar. Independent verification of the proposed 10,000-participant figure for "Aapno Ghoomar 2026" was not immediately available, and organisers have not yet specified which record-certifying body — such as Guinness World Records or World Book of Records — will be invited to adjudicate the attempt.

What's next

Sadbhavna Parivar said registration details, the venue for the August 1 event, and a rehearsal schedule will be announced in the coming weeks. The organisation has invited women across Jaipur and neighbouring districts to participate.

This is a developing story and will be updated as further details, including official partnerships and government approvals, are confirmed.

Shanaya, who has been associated with the ILFH platform since its very first chapter, walked the ramp with a poise that belied her age. She has been active in the entertainment and modelling industry since the age of four, building a portfolio that includes television serials, feature films, commercial advertisements, and print shoots — a breadth of work that is rare for a child performer at her stage.

Beyond the ramp, Shanaya serves as a brand ambassador for Beti Foundation, an organisation focused on the welfare and empowerment of girls in India. Her association with the foundation reflects a broader commitment to advocacy alongside her artistic career.

At the event, Shanaya was honoured with a special award recognising her outstanding contribution to the show and her consistent excellence across all thirteen chapters of the ILFH series. The recognition was presented in the presence of notable personalities from the fashion world, who attended the evening in large numbers.

On the advertising front, Shanaya's profile has grown considerably in recent months. She has featured in campaigns for Asian Paints, one of India's most prominent consumer brands, as well as a high-profile advertisement for Apple's iPhone 17 — two assignments that signal the increasing demand for her work in mainstream commercial media.

With a rapidly expanding portfolio and a growing presence both on-screen and on the runway, Shanaya Sharma is emerging as one of the most sought-after young talents in Rajasthan's entertainment landscape. Her participation in ILFH Chapter 13 adds another milestone to what is shaping up to be a significant career in Indian fashion and media.

Skill Education That Goes the Distance

In classrooms across 500-plus schools in 12 Indian states and the Middle East, one thing is consistent: every student who completes a skill module on Ulipsu produces something — a project, submitted, assessed, and tied directly to the certificate they earn. That is not incidental to how the platform works. That is the entire point.

When Ulipsu's founding team began building its curriculum eight years ago, they acted on a specific insight: turning learning into capability requires one step that most platforms skip — the moment a student stops consuming a lesson and starts building something with it. Ulipsu was designed to make that step unavoidable.

Today, Ulipsu reaches over five lakh students across its full network as of 2025-26. In the 2024-25 and 2025-26 academic years, students completed over 8.6 lakh hands-on projects and earned more than 1.28 lakh certifications across future-focused skill domains.

The Difference Between Knowing and Doing

Consuming a lesson and acquiring a skill are not the same thing. A student who has watched a series of videos on data science has encountered data science. A student who has collected a dataset, calculated moving averages, visualised outputs through charts, and written a structured report has used data science. The difference is not cosmetic — it is the difference between recognition and capability.

Ulipsu's curriculum was built on that distinction. Every module is designed so that learning leads somewhere tangible: not just to a certificate, but to something the student has made.

Three Stages. No Shortcuts.

Every skill module on Ulipsu follows a three-stage structure, and the third stage cannot be skipped.

Students begin with video-based, gamified lessons that deliver real-time feedback as they learn. They then move through game-based evaluations that test genuine understanding rather than rote recall. The third stage is the project: a hands-on challenge in which the student builds something using what they have learned, submits it through the platform, and has it reviewed by their teacher.

Learn. Demonstrate understanding. Build. That sequence holds across every module from Grade 1 to Grade 10. The project is embedded into the evaluation structure of every module and is directly tied to the internationally accredited certificate the student receives upon completion.

What Students Actually Build

Across Ulipsu's 16-plus skill modules, the project briefs are grounded in real-world challenges scaled to the school level. Students in the Data Science module collect datasets, calculate moving averages, and document their findings in structured reports. In the Coding module, more than 15,000 students created games using block-based coding platforms over the past two years, while over 5,000 built interactive storytelling projects combining narrative thinking with code logic.

In the Artificial Intelligence module, more than 3,100 students from higher grades completed Python-based projects, while nearly 6,000 built AI-powered solutions integrating concepts from artificial intelligence and data science. The Entrepreneurship module produced more than 55,000 startup and business concept submissions, alongside thousands of financial simulation and business decision-making projects built around real-world scenarios.

Every submission is recorded on the student's individual Skill Report — a detailed document capturing assessment performance and project completions across every module completed. By the time a student reaches Class 10, their Skill Portfolio is not a list of certificates. It is a documented record of things they have built.

A Certificate That Means Something

Each student who completes a skill module — including its assessed project — receives an internationally accredited certificate co-branded with ISTE, recognised across 127 countries, and STEM.org, trusted in 80 countries. These credentials accumulate into a Skill Portfolio: a verifiable, evidence-backed record of applied learning that travels with the student throughout their academic career.

For school leaders, the Skill Portfolio also addresses a practical priority: NEP 2020, India's National Education Policy, places explicit emphasis on skills-based, experiential learning outcomes. Ulipsu's documented project records give schools a concrete, verifiable way to demonstrate that their students are meeting those goals — not through certificates alone, but through work produced and assessed in the classroom.

"We wanted the certificate to mean something," said Nikhil K B, co-founder and CTO. "A student's Skill Portfolio shows what they built, how they performed in assessments, and certifications aligned with recognised international accreditation standards. That is a very different conversation from a certificate that simply says they watched 12 videos."

Every Student Gets There

When project work is optional, a predictable pattern emerges. Students who complete projects tend to be those who already have engaged parents, self-directed motivation, and time outside school hours to invest. Optionality, in most school environments, tends to benefit those who already have access — not those who need the opportunity most.

Ulipsu's model removes that optionality entirely. The project is built into the curriculum. It is delivered during school hours and assessed by the teacher using a structured evaluation framework built into the platform. Every enrolled student completes it.

This has particular significance in Ulipsu's government school deployments, which span 200 institutions serving 1.5 lakh students — many from first-generation learner households where after-school enrichment is simply not available. For these students, the embedded project component is the mechanism that takes their learning all the way to application, within the single point of access they have.

Building Deeper, Reaching Further

For Ulipsu, the next phase means expanding further across government schools, private institutions, and CSR-led education initiatives, ensuring that every student who completes a module gains a skill they can demonstrate, not just a certificate they can display.

The measure Ulipsu holds itself to is not the number of certificates issued or schools onboarded, it is whether students completing its modules can demonstrate their skills in practice. Not in theory. Not under recall conditions. Through work they have produced, submitted, and had assessed.

That structural commitment was made eight years ago. Over 10 lakh projects completed since then are evidence.

The performance, presented as part of the cultural program organized to greet the Prime Minister, drew wide appreciation and placed Rajasthan's folk tradition on a prominent international stage. It underscored the deepening role of regional art in India's public diplomacy — a soft-power instrument that connects distant cultures through music and shared emotion.

PM Modi's appreciation and official acknowledgement

Prime Minister Modi acknowledged the cultural presentation, expressing appreciation for how it reflected the rich and layered heritage of Rajasthan through its musical rendition, according to event organizers. The moment resonated beyond the venue: Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma amplified the recognition by sharing details of the performance on his official account on X (formerly Twitter), bringing it to the attention of a wider national audience.

Such acknowledgement at the highest levels of government lends significant weight to the performance — and to the artist behind it.

A song rooted in Rajasthan's invitation to the world

"Padharo Mhare Des" — which translates to "Welcome to my land" — is among the most recognised folk compositions of Rajasthan, traditionally sung as a warm-hearted invitation extended to guests and visitors. Its selection for a diplomatic welcome ceremony is both symbolically resonant and culturally apt: a folk song about hospitality, sung to greet a nation's leader on foreign soil.

The inclusion of this composition in a formal diplomatic setting reflects a growing international appetite for India's regional cultural traditions — particularly as Indian folk music finds audiences far beyond its geographic origins.

Who is Manesha A Agarwal?

Manesha A Agarwal is a Jaipur-based vocalist with a distinguished repertoire spanning Rajasthani folk and devotional music. She has built a reputation for bridging traditional idioms with contemporary arrangements — an approach that makes her work accessible without diluting its authenticity.

Her catalogue includes well-known compositions such as Nimbooda, Banna Re, Malhar, and Girdhari Girdhari — pieces that have contributed to keeping Rajasthan's folk tradition alive and visible in an era dominated by mainstream commercial music.

Beyond performance, Agarwal is actively engaged in cultural preservation. Through the Arpan Music Lab, an initiative of the Arpan Foundation, she mentors emerging artists, offering structured training grounded in classical and folk traditions. The initiative is aimed at ensuring that Rajasthan's musical legacy is passed to the next generation with fidelity and care.

Folk music as cultural diplomacy

The Netherlands performance adds to a growing body of examples in which Indian folk and classical artists have represented the country's cultural identity on international platforms during official diplomatic engagements. As India's global profile expands, such cultural moments are increasingly seen as meaningful extensions of national identity — grounded, authentic, and distinctly regional in character.

For Rajasthan, a state whose cultural output spans centuries and whose music has always carried an invitation to the world, the echo of "Padharo Mhare Des" across the Netherlands is, perhaps, exactly that — an enduring, open-hearted welcome.

This is not a motivational quote. This is a real story of two people who hit rock bottom, stared at the rubble of their first company, and chose to build a skyscraper on top of it.

There is a specific kind of silence that only failed entrepreneurs know. It is not the silence of an empty room; it is the silence of an empty future. No ringing phones. No team chatter. No invoices to chase. Just the hollow echo of a dream that stopped breathing.

Sudipta and Priyanka Prajapati know that silence better than most.

Twelve months ago, they stood alone in a vacant office, the last man standing after their first venture completely collapsed. Not stumbled. Not struggled. Collapsed. A full year of blood, savings, and identity simply GONE.

They walked out carrying nothing but what the industry coldly calls “backlogs” and the kind of exhaustion that no sleep can fix. They weren’t just financially broke. They were broken at the core.

Most people in that position update their LinkedIn profiles and quietly disappear into the comfort of a salary.

Both Sudipta and Priyanka went home and opened a spreadsheet.

For an entire year, while the world assumed they had moved on, they were doing something far more dangerous — they were learning. Every night, after taking on whatever freelance work they could find just to cover rent, they would sit down and perform an autopsy on their failed business. Line by line. Decision by decision. Mistake by mistake.

What they found was both humbling and clarifying.

The idea behind his first company was never the problem. The execution was. They had scaled too fast, too soon, without building a solid sales pipeline beneath them. They had built a roof before the foundation.

Sudipta and Priyanka weren’t bad entrepreneurs. They were impatient ones, and now, they knew the difference.

Exactly one year after the collapse, something shifted inside Sudipta. The anger he had carried quietly transformed into something far more powerful and focused. Razor-sharp, unshakeable, relentless focus.

Both started working for a single company and made it big. With zero investors, zero safety net, and nothing but the lessons carved from failure, Sudipta and Priyanka joined Enmmey in leadership roles.

And they did it completely together.

No plush office. No founding team. No seed funding pitch decks. Just Sudipta, Priyanka, a laptop, and a decision to never look backwards again.

They became each other’s salesperson, accountant, strategist, and their own cheerleader. On the days when the grind felt impossible, they reminded themselves of the alternative and kept moving.

Where others saw a solo operator barely keeping the lights on, Sudipta and Priyanka saw something else entirely: the blueprint of an empire being drawn in real time.

When the Comeback Became Real

Here is where the story stops being inspirational and starts being remarkable.

In under twelve months of relaunch, Enmmey crossed 1 crore revenue in 3 months in annual revenue. The team that started as a two-person show now includes 3 dedicated full-time employees and 6 ambitious interns who are, by all accounts, building something real.

No shortcuts. No investors. No inheritance. Just grit, strategy, and the quiet stubbornness of two friends who refused to let a single failure write the final chapter of their career.

It would be easy to reduce this to a feel-good story about perseverance. But that would be missing the point.

Sudipta and Priyanka’s journey is a masterclass in strategic resilience — the rare ability to not just survive failure, but to extract intelligence from it and deploy it with precision the second time around.

They didn’t just try harder.
They tried smarter.
They fixed the foundation before building the walls.

More Than Just a Revenue Milestone

Enmmey today is not just a company crossing milestones. It is living proof that the entrepreneurs who fail, learn, and return are exponentially more dangerous than those who never failed at all.

When asked about the journey, Sudipta and Priyanka don’t reach for dramatic metaphors or rehearsed motivational lines. They simply look at their growing team and say:

“We lost my first company. But we found the version of ourselves that was capable of building this one.”

In a business landscape obsessed with overnight success stories and Silicon Valley glamour, Sudipta and Priyanka’s story is a quiet but thunderous reminder that the most powerful thing an entrepreneur can do after falling is not to rise quickly — but to rise correctly.

From zero to ₹1 Crore.
From a closed office to a growing team.
From bankruptcy of spirit to an abundance of purpose.

The comeback of the year doesn’t always come with fanfare.
Sometimes, it starts with just two dedicated people, a laptop, and a spreadsheet at midnight.

Anuj Agrawal, Founder & CEO Of Zyon Group

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], May 12 : Bengaluru has been under siege—not from competition, but from criticism. Headlines decry its traffic, infrastructure gaps, and strained public systems. But here's what the critics miss: Bengaluru's problems are symptoms of unprecedented success. When a city hosts 875 GCC Units, employs 1.65 million technology professionals, and nurtures 53 unicorns—more than any other Indian city—growing pains are inevitable.

India's ambition to become a $10 trillion economy by 2030-35 doesn't hinge on solving Bengaluru's traffic. It hinges on building ten more Bengalurus.

The Numbers Tell a Remarkable Story

India's technology ecosystem has reached unprecedented scale. With 2,975 GCC Units employing over 1.9 million professionals and generating $65 billion in annual revenue, India hosts 50% of all global capability centers worldwide. The ecosystem's total economic impact approaches $241 billion, contributing nearly 2% to national GDP.

Figure 1: India's GCC Units Landscape

Bengaluru leads with 875 GCC Units, $79 billion in startup funding since 2010, and 53 unicorns (44% of India's total). Delhi-NCR follows with 465 GCC Units and the fastest talent growth at 0.9% YoY. Hyderabad has emerged as the dark horse with 355 GCC Units and proactive policies. Mumbai, Pune, and Chennai collectively contribute 1,031 GCC Units. Together, these six metros host 92% of India's GCC Units—a concentration that represents both strength and vulnerability.

Figure 2: Tech Talent Distribution

Why Bengaluru Leads—And Why That's Not Enough

Despite criticism, Bengaluru isn't slowing down. In 2025, one-third of all new GCC Units still chose Bengaluru. The reason: ecosystem depth cannot be replicated overnight—2,443 funded startups, proximity to IISc and IIMs, the deepest talent pools in AI and cloud computing, and two decades of institutional knowledge.

Karnataka's ₹19,000 crore infrastructure commitment signals recognition that this engine must keep running. But here's the strategic insight: Bengaluru's ceiling is India's ceiling. A single-city narrative caps our potential at the carrying capacity of one urban system.

Figure 3: India's Unicorn & Funded Startup Ecosystem

The Distributed Excellence Imperative

India's path to $10 trillion runs through distributed innovation. Tier-2 cities are gaining momentum—Coimbatore (60+ GCC Units), Kochi, Ahmedabad, and Mysuru are strategic frontiers. The economics are compelling: 25-30% lower costs, 10-15% lower attrition, and fresher talent pools. Over 215 GCC Units now operate in emerging locations.

This isn't about abandoning metros; it's about de-risking India's value proposition. The 2025 Union Budget's national GCC framework recognizes this, extending focus beyond metro hubs.

Figure 4: Startup Funding Distribution (Since 2010)

From Criticism to Collaboration

The public spats between industry leaders and government officials serve no one. What's needed is a collaborative framework. State governments must compete on infrastructure, not just incentives—Karnataka's GCC policy is being mirrored by Telangana and Tamil Nadu. Industry must invest in Tier-2 expansion. Public-private partnerships must scale. And skilling initiatives must reach Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities—India produces 1.5 million engineers annually.

The $10 Trillion Question

By 2030, India's GCC sector is projected to reach $150 billion+ in revenue, employ 4 million+ professionals, and host 2,500+ capability centers. This growth will either concentrate in existing hotspots—straining infrastructure—or distribute across vibrant tech ecosystems.

Bengaluru's critics are right that the city needs better infrastructure. But they miss the larger point: India needs more cities with Bengaluru's vibrancy—cities so successful that their success strains their systems. Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and Delhi-NCR are approaching that threshold. Coimbatore, Kochi, and a dozen others are building the foundations.

The path from criticism to collaboration runs through a simple recognition: we're not competing against each other. We're racing against time and global competition to build the distributed excellence that transforms India from a $3.5 trillion economy to a $10 trillion powerhouse.

Figure 5: The Path to $10 Trillion

Bengaluru has shown what's possible. Now, India must multiply that possibility—not replace it.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 30: Cloud computing in India, a sector that has been booming for several years, is undergoing a change. Global reach and available services are no longer the only way businesses evaluate platforms. They prioritize performance, cost clarity, user experience, and how well the platform fits their real buckets. This is the environment which has brought CloudPe to an increasing importance in what Indian businesses today are searching for in a cloud provider.

Despite global cloud platforms continuing their dominance at scale, many organisations are investigating alternatives that can deliver simplified infrastructure with better control. CloudPe grew on a very specific motive, focusing on performance, functionality, and creating a platform suitable for the Indian environment.

Built for India, Not Adapted for It

CloudPe is relevant because it is building infrastructure for India, not local systems for the region from GLOBAL. It runs on data centres in the country, allowing companies to achieve low latency and comply with local data regulation and law.

It enhances performance for enterprises that serve users in India the most, and ensures applications are responding swiftly, similar to being routed through the local region, essentially. It is also important for businesses that must keep data within national boundaries, as it is a growing compliance requirement.

CloudPe, unlike the global platforms that spread to multiple continents' infrastructures, is intended for more localized use. This emphasises regional deployment and accessibility, which is generally more important for domestic use.

Simplicity Over Layered Complexity

Cloud platforms are often criticised for being difficult to navigate, especially for teams without deep infrastructure expertise. CloudPe addresses this issue by focusing on a simplified architecture that reduces unnecessary complexity.

The platform offers essential services such as virtual machines, Kubernetes, storage, networking, and GPU infrastructure through a unified interface. This means teams do not need to move between multiple dashboards or manage fragmented tools to run their workloads.

By reducing the number of steps required to deploy and manage resources, CloudPe allows teams to spend less time on configuration and more time on development. This is particularly useful for startups and growing businesses that need to move quickly without building large infrastructure teams.

Transparent Pricing and Cost Control

One of the most common concerns with cloud adoption is unpredictable billing. Many businesses struggle to understand how usage translates into cost, especially when multiple services and variables are involved.

CloudPe positions itself around transparent pricing, where businesses can clearly understand what they are paying for. This approach helps organisations plan their infrastructure budgets more effectively and avoid unexpected charges.

The platform also focuses on reducing hidden costs that typically arise from data transfer or additional services. By offering straightforward pricing models, it supports better financial control, which is a major advantage for companies operating with tight budgets.

Performance Designed for Real Workloads

Cloud performance is not just about peak capacity but about consistency under real usage conditions. CloudPe uses NVMe-based storage and high-performance infrastructure to support applications that require fast data access and stable performance.

The platform also offers dedicated resources rather than heavily shared environments, which helps reduce performance fluctuations. This is particularly important for businesses running customer-facing applications, analytics workloads, or data-intensive processes.

In addition, CloudPe supports high IOPS storage and high-bandwidth networking, enabling it to handle workloads such as AI processing, SaaS applications, and enterprise systems. These capabilities ensure that performance remains consistent as workloads scale.

Supporting Modern and Emerging Use Cases

As businesses adopt newer technologies, cloud infrastructure must support more than just basic hosting. CloudPe includes capabilities for modern application development, including container orchestration through Kubernetes and GPU-based computing for AI and machine learning workloads.

This makes the platform suitable for a wide range of use cases, from simple web applications to advanced data processing and AI-driven solutions. Teams can deploy containerised applications, run scalable services, and experiment with new technologies without needing separate infrastructure providers.

By bringing these capabilities together in one platform, CloudPe reduces the need for complex integrations and external tools.

Security and Reliability as Core Features

Security is a critical concern for any business operating in the cloud. CloudPe integrates security features such as network isolation, firewalls, and continuous monitoring into its infrastructure.

The platform has also achieved certifications such as SOC 2 Type II, which reflects adherence to established security and operational standards. This provides additional confidence for businesses handling sensitive data.

In terms of reliability, CloudPe offers uptime commitments and continuous monitoring, ensuring that systems remain available and responsive. For organisations running critical workloads, this reliability is essential.

Managed Services That Reduce Operational Load

Managing cloud infrastructure can be time-consuming, especially for teams without dedicated operations staff. CloudPe addresses this through managed services that include 24/7 monitoring, automated maintenance, and performance optimisation.

These services help businesses maintain their infrastructure without needing to handle every technical detail internally. Faster response times and proactive monitoring reduce downtime and improve system stability.

By offloading routine infrastructure management, teams can focus more on their core business activities.

Why Businesses Are Making the Shift

The growing interest in CloudPe reflects a broader change in how businesses evaluate cloud platforms. Instead of choosing the largest provider, organisations are looking for solutions that match their operational needs.

CloudPe stands out by combining local infrastructure, simplified operations, transparent pricing, and modern capabilities into a single platform. It offers an approach that is easier to adopt, easier to manage, and better aligned with how many Indian businesses operate today.

Conclusion

Cloud computing is no longer just about access to technology; it is about how effectively that technology can be used. Platforms that reduce complexity, improve cost visibility, and deliver consistent performance are becoming more relevant.

CloudPe’s growth highlights this shift. By focusing on practical infrastructure and real business requirements, it is positioning itself as a strong contender in India’s cloud ecosystem. For organisations seeking a simpler and more predictable cloud experience, this approach is becoming increasingly appealing.

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], April 29: Goldratt Bharat, in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), has announced the launch of the Certified TOC Business Acceleration Program, a structured learning initiative designed to help business leaders improve cash flow, delivery performance, and operational effectiveness.

The program is scheduled to commence on 20th May 2026 and will be delivered through a series of five focused modules, combining conceptual clarity with practical application for Indian industry.

Program Structure and Focus Areas

The program has been designed to provide participants with a clear, actionable understanding of how to improve business performance using the Theory of Constraints (TOC). The five modules will cover:

• Introduction to TOC and system-level thinking

• Throughput Accounting and financial decision-making

• TOC for Operations (including flow and lead time improvement)

• TOC for Supply Chain and inventory management

• Implementation framework and weekly review systems

Each module is structured to move beyond theory and focus on real-world application, enabling participants to identify constraints within their own organisations and take targeted action.

Facilitators 

The program will be facilitated by senior experts from Goldratt Bharat, Nikhil Gilani and Ira Gilani, who bring extensive experience across industries such as telecom, manufacturing, retail, and supply chain.

Their sessions will focus on practical insights drawn from real transformation engagements, ensuring that participants are able to relate concepts directly to business situations.

Who Should Attend

Goldratt Bharat: A 27-Year Track Record in Business Transformation

Founded in 1998 by Ravi Gilani,Goldratt Bharat has worked with companies across sectors such as automotive, metals, aerospace, retail, infrastructure, and financial services. Its clients include organisations such as Jindal Steel & Power, Tata Boeing Aerospace, Godrej & Boyce, Hindustan Zinc, Sleepwell, Indian Terrain, Thomson Press and others.

The firm’s work is based on the Theory of Constraints, a management philosophy that focuses on identifying and addressing the single factor limiting system performance. Over the years, this approach has helped organisations improve delivery performance, reduce inventory, and strengthen cash flow.

Unlike conventional turnaround strategies that rely on cost cutting, Goldratt Bharat’s engagements focus on improving flow and increasing throughput — the rate at which a company generates value.

Looking Ahead

As businesses continue to navigate complexity and increasing competition, the need for focused and practical management approaches is becoming more critical. The Certified TOC Business Acceleration Program aims to equip leaders with the tools to identify what is truly limiting their performance and act on it effectively.

With its combination of structured learning and real-world application, the program is expected to create meaningful impact for participating organisations.

Every brand begins with an idea, but some ideas come from simply observing what’s missing. The story of Hashtag Eyewear started with a clear gap in the market—people wanted stylish, reliable eyewear without having to choose between high prices and low quality.

At a time when options were limited to either expensive labels or basic alternatives, there was a growing demand for products that offered both design and value. From everyday eyewear needs to the rising popularity of Sunglasses for men & sunglasses for women, it became evident that consumers were looking for something more balanced products that could match their lifestyle without feeling out of reach.

This realization laid the foundation for Hashtag Eyewear. The goal was not just to create another eyewear brand, but to build something that understood real customer needs. Early on, the focus was placed on learning directly from people what they preferred, what challenges they faced, and what they expected from a good pair of glasses.

Instead of following a traditional path, the brand chose to grow through experience. Spending years in the retail space allowed for close interaction with customers, offering valuable insights into their choices and habits. This hands-on understanding became one of the strongest pillars of the brand.

One of the key ideas behind Hashtag Eyewear was to make eyewear more practical for everyday use. It wasn’t just about creating products that looked good on display, but ones that could handle real-life conditions long hours of wear, exposure to sunlight, and daily movement. Comfort and durability became just as important as design.

At the same time, the brand recognized that eyewear had evolved into more than just a necessity. It had become a part of personal style. People were no longer buying glasses just for function—they wanted something that reflected their personality. This shift inspired Hashtag Eyewear to focus on designs that were modern, versatile, and easy to wear across different occasions.

Another important thought behind the brand was accessibility. The idea was to ensure that good quality eyewear should not be limited to a small segment of people. By maintaining a thoughtful approach to pricing, Hashtag Eyewear aimed to make well-designed products available to a wider audience.

As the brand grew, so did its understanding of changing consumer behavior. With more people turning to online platforms, the need to be accessible beyond physical locations became clear. This led to a natural expansion into the digital space, allowing the brand to reach customers across different parts of the country.

Looking back, the creation of Hashtag Eyewear was not driven by a single moment, but by a series of observations and decisions. It was about identifying a gap, understanding people, and building something that fits into their daily lives.

Today, the brand continues to follow the same idea it started with to create eyewear that brings together style, comfort, and value in a way that feels natural to the modern consumer.

Jaipur: Ordinary stones, often overlooked in daily life, came alive with profound emotions at Rajkumar Gupta’s pebble art exhibition held at the historic Hawa Mahal in Jaipur. The two-day show, which concluded recently, left a lasting impression on art lovers and tourists alike by turning simple pebbles into vibrant narratives of love, motherhood, and human sensitivity.

The exhibition, hosted in the Exhibition Hall at Hawa Mahal, featured more than 40 meticulously crafted pebble artworks. From morning 10 AM to evening 6 PM, visitors streamed in to witness how the artist had breathed life into these humble stones using colours and delicate brushwork. What struck everyone was the remarkable realism and emotional depth — many found it hard to believe at first glance that the pieces were created entirely from pebbles.

Rajkumar Gupta, a legal professional by training, has pursued pebble art as a passionate medium of expression for several years. According to him, every stone carries within it an unspoken story and feeling; the artist’s role is simply to recognise and reveal it. This philosophy shone brightly through the displayed works.

The exhibition beautifully captured universal human emotions. One of the most touching pieces portrayed the tender bond between a mother and child, with the innocent face of the baby resting in the mother’s lap. Viewers often paused emotionally before this artwork, their faces reflecting both warmth and a hint of nostalgia. Another standout creation depicted the expression of love, evoking memories of timeless romantic tales. A third piece explored the thoughtful introspection of a young mind navigating life’s complexities.

What made the artworks truly special was the extraordinary level of detail. The stones were painted and arranged with such finesse that they appeared almost three-dimensional, drawing visitors into a quiet, reflective experience. Many attendees stood mesmerised for long moments, absorbing the feelings conveyed through these unlikely canvases.

The show also highlighted Rajkumar Gupta’s growing recognition in the art world. Just weeks earlier, in March 2026, his works had received widespread appreciation at an international art exhibition in Noida. Bringing the same artistic excellence to Jaipur’s iconic Hawa Mahal added a special charm, blending the grandeur of heritage architecture with the simplicity and beauty of pebble art.

Local art enthusiasts, families, and tourists who visited described the exhibition as refreshing and deeply moving. Several remarked that the display changed their perspective, making them realise that even the most ordinary objects can hold extraordinary beauty when seen through an artist’s sensitive eye. “It felt as if the stones were actually speaking,” one visitor shared.

The two-day pebble art exhibition successfully concluded at Hawa Mahal, leaving behind fond memories and renewed appreciation for this unique art form. For those who missed it, the show served as a gentle reminder that art has no boundaries — it can emerge from the simplest materials and touch the deepest corners of the heart.

Rajkumar Gupta’s effort proved once again that creativity lies not in expensive tools or rare mediums, but in vision, patience, and emotional connect. By giving voice to silent stones, he invited everyone to look closer at the world around us and discover hidden stories waiting to be told.

The exhibition may have ended, but the impressions it created will continue to resonate with those who experienced it. In a fast-paced world, such artistic pauses that celebrate simplicity and emotion remain truly valuable.

Jaipur, April 17, 2026 (SCNWire): The much-awaited Hindi film Antas 2 made a grand impression at its star-studded premiere held at the iconic Raj Mandir Cinema in Jaipur on Friday evening. The historic theatre echoed with thunderous applause and enthusiastic cheers as the audience warmly embraced the film’s heartfelt narrative.

Produced under the banner of Sonam Tele Films, Antas 2 is the sequel to the successful first installment. The premiere screening turned into a memorable celebration of cinema, with prominent guests from the film industry and Rajasthan’s social circles in attendance. The hall was filled with excitement as viewers reacted positively to the on-screen chemistry and emotional storytelling.

Director Surendra Swami, Producer Suresh Kumar, lead actress Shreya Khanna, actor Alok Bhardwaj, writer Mahesh Runiwal, along with Hinodun MLA Anita Jatav, ACP Amjad Khan, and noted Rajasthani actors including Raj Jangid, Shravan Sagar, RK Sara, Rajveer Gurjar Bassi, Charan Singh Pathik, Radheshyam Piplawa, and Ganesh Maharaj graced the event.

For director Surendra Swami, this marks his first major cinematic venture. Speaking at the premiere, he expressed deep emotion: “The premiere of Antas 2 at Raj Mandir in Jaipur feels like a dream come true. Seeing the love and appreciation from Rajasthani stars and the audience has left me overwhelmed. This film will touch every heart. Our love story, shot on the streets of Jaipur, is ready to captivate viewers.”

The story of Antas 2 unfolds against the breathtaking backdrop of Rajasthan — the bustling streets of Jaipur, the serene lakes of Rajsamand, and the picturesque waters of Udaipur. It narrates a simple yet touching tale of love. Shreya Khanna plays a young woman who arrives in Jaipur in search of her beloved and crosses paths with a humble taxi driver, portrayed by Alok Bhardwaj. Impressed by his simplicity and sincerity, she gradually falls in love with him.

Audiences at the premiere particularly appreciated the natural chemistry between Shreya Khanna and Alok Bhardwaj. Building on the success of the original Antas, this sequel promises to deliver the same emotional connect with fresh charm.

Shreya Khanna shared her thoughts after the screening: “The energy at the Jaipur premiere was incredible. Meeting Rajasthani stars was truly an honour. The audience loved my character and the chemistry with Alok. Shooting in Jaipur taught me the real meaning of simplicity. Antas 2 is a milestone in my career.”

Alok Bhardwaj, who essayed the role of the ordinary taxi driver, said: “Portraying the simplicity of a common man was challenging, but it became a memorable experience under Surendra Sir’s guidance. Hearing appreciation from Rajasthani artists at Raj Mandir brought me immense joy. This is a story of an everyday person that will resonate with every heart.”

Producer Suresh Kumar reflected on the successful evening: “We are proud that Antas 2 received such wonderful support from Rajasthan’s cinema veterans. After the success of Antas, creating this sequel has been a matter of great pride for the team. We left no stone unturned in maintaining quality. The love of the audience remains our ultimate goal.”

Writer Mahesh Runiwal described the film as a beautiful fusion of Bollywood storytelling and Rajasthan’s rich cultural essence. He highlighted how the authentic locations played a vital role in bringing the narrative to life.

Guests at the premiere praised Surendra Swami’s clear vision and the natural performances delivered by the lead pair. Many noted that the film successfully captures the warmth and innocence of a pure love story.

Following the grand response at the Jaipur premiere, the team expressed confidence in the film’s wider appeal. Producer Suresh Kumar also reiterated the commitment to continue filmmaking in Rajasthan and to encourage local talent in the future.

The enthusiastic reception at Raj Mandir Cinema has set a positive tone ahead of Antas 2’s theatrical release. With its roots firmly in Rajasthan’s soil and culture, the film is poised to offer audiences a refreshing and emotionally engaging cinematic experience.

As the lights dimmed and the credits rolled, the sustained applause reflected the audience’s genuine appreciation for this simple, heartfelt tale of love. Antas 2 is now ready to win hearts across theatres nationwide.

New intelligent infrastructure framework brings predictive operations, stronger security, and consistent performance across on-premise and cloud environments

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India] : Cygnet.One today announced an expanded direction for its Managed IT Services portfolio with the introduction of Cygnet STRATA, a layered infrastructure framework built to support modern businesses that depend on stable, secure, and high-performing IT environments.

As IT systems take on greater operational responsibility, the cost of outages, security gaps, and performance slowdowns continues to rise. Many organizations still rely on reactive support models that respond after issues occur. Cygnet.One is positioning its managed services approach to move beyond that model, focusing on predictability, visibility, and continuous improvement across the infrastructure lifecycle.

At the center of this shift is STRATA, a six-layer infrastructure stack designed to connect physical systems with cloud ecosystems while enabling real-time monitoring, analysis, and response. Built on AIOps principles, STRATA integrates telemetry ingestion, event correlation, anomaly detection, and automated remediation into a unified operating model. This allows infrastructure to shift from fragmented monitoring to coordinated, intelligence-driven operations.

STRATA operates across six core layers.

The SENSE layer focuses on physical infrastructure. It uses telemetry pipelines, sensor-based monitoring, and AI-driven diagnostics to continuously track servers, storage systems, and environmental conditions such as temperature, power, and network health. This layer builds a live operational baseline and detects early signs of hardware degradation or capacity stress.

The TRANSMIT layer manages signal flow across the infrastructure. It aggregates and normalizes data streams from multiple sources, filters noise, and prioritizes actionable alerts. This ensures that only relevant signals are passed to operations teams and centralized NOC environments, reducing alert fatigue and improving response accuracy.

The REASON layer applies AIOps intelligence. It uses pattern recognition, event correlation, and predictive modeling to identify anomalies across systems. By linking events across compute, storage, network, and application layers, REASON supports automated root cause identification and triggers corrective workflows before incidents escalate.

The ASSURE layer manages performance and service levels. It continuously tracks SLA parameters against defined thresholds and uses predictive analytics to anticipate potential breaches. Automated remediation actions are triggered when risk conditions are detected, helping maintain uptime and performance consistency across environments.

The THREATSHIELD layer provides continuous security monitoring. It combines behavioral analysis, threat intelligence feeds, and anomaly detection to identify suspicious activity across endpoints, networks, and workloads. This layer supports real-time threat detection, incident response, and protection against evolving attack patterns, including zero-day vulnerabilities.

The ADAPT layer focuses on long-term efficiency and optimization. It analyzes system behavior, workload patterns, and resource utilization trends to recommend and implement improvements in capacity planning, cost control, and performance tuning. This ensures that infrastructure evolves in line with business demand and usage patterns.

Cygnet.One’s Managed IT Services span the full lifecycle of IT operations. This includes IT strategy and consulting, availability services, infrastructure managed services, application managed services, and multi-cloud operations across AWS, Azure, and GCP. The portfolio also covers cybersecurity services, governance, risk and compliance frameworks, disaster recovery, and strategic IT outsourcing.

Infrastructure managed services are supported by AIOps-driven monitoring, unified NOC and SOC operations, and automated incident response workflows. The delivery model is designed to maintain high availability, with continuous monitoring, structured escalation protocols, and integrated reporting for operational visibility. Application managed services include performance monitoring, release governance, and 24/7 support to ensure business-critical applications remain stable and aligned with changing requirements.

The company also aligns its services to different stages of business growth. Smaller organizations receive foundational support across infrastructure, cloud, and security. Growing businesses gain access to automation, compliance support, and performance optimization. Enterprises benefit from advanced capabilities such as AI-driven operational intelligence, cost governance models, and multi-region disaster recovery architectures with defined RTO and RPO objectives.

With the introduction of STRATA, Cygnet.One positions Managed IT Services as a structured operating model that integrates infrastructure, security, and cloud operations into a single, coordinated system. The focus is on maintaining stable, secure, and high-performing environments that can support ongoing business demands without disruption.

About Cygnet.One

Cygnet.One is a technology solutions provider offering managed IT services, cloud services, cybersecurity, data and AI, and digital engineering solutions. The company works with organizations across industries to manage and improve IT environments across on-premise, hybrid, and cloud ecosystems. Its service model combines domain expertise, structured frameworks, and AI-driven operations to support business continuity, performance, and long-term growth.

New Delhi [India] : Amit Thukral has navigated satellite wars, billion-dollar biotech battles, and the unwritten rules of Indian regulatory law. Now, as a senior partner at Commercial Law Chambers, he's building something bigger than a practice - a blueprint for what strategic legal counsel looks like in the age of AI.

There is a specific kind of lawyer that courts don't produce and law schools can't fully teach the kind who walks into a room where no rule yet exists and walks out having shaped one. Amit Thukral is that kind of lawyer. With over 25 years of practice spanning agri-biotech, pharmaceuticals, media, and technology, Amit has spent the better part of three decades not just interpreting the law, but making sense of it in real time often before the ink has dried on any precedent.

Now a senior partner at Commercial Law Chambers (CLC), Amit is channelling that depth of experience into building one of the country's most formidable platforms for high-consequence legal work. In an exclusive conversation, he reflects on the journey, the philosophy, and what he believes the profession is yet to fully understand about itself.

"The law was being built in real time", when asked about the defining moment of his career, Amit pushes back thoughtfully, characteristically on the premise. "I'd call it a defining phase rather than a single moment," he says. He points to his years handling first-generation regulatory issues in satellite broadcasting most notably at Tata Sky and later in life sciences, at Monsanto, where questions around biotechnology, pricing, and biodiversity were "unprecedented and carried systemic implications."

"We were not just interpreting regulation, we were actively shaping it through engagement with regulators and courts," he recalls. It was there, at the frontier of what law was and what it hadn't yet become, that Amit crystallised his core identity: not a legal interpreter, but someone who creates clarity in ambiguity. That evolution from reading law to building it continues to define how he practises today.

"In complex environments, clarity is not found - it is created."

Three roles, one 360-degree view, what separates Amit from many of his contemporaries is the arc of roles he has inhabited: in-house leadership, external advisory, and now a growth-oriented position at CLC. Each seat, he says, handed him a fundamentally different lens. "In-house, you learn accountability, you own outcomes, not just opinions. As external counsel, you bring depth and objectivity. In leadership roles, you understand value creation and stakeholder alignment."

The synthesis of all three legal accuracy, commercial practicality, and strategic foresight is what he describes as the gold standard of great counsel, and the standard he holds himself to. It is not merely an aspiration. He has personally managed over 300 active litigations at one stage, led global legal and compliance teams, negotiated complex cross-border transactions, and engaged directly with regulators and policymakers. His approach, as a result, is never to treat problems in silos but as multi-dimensional challenges requiring resolution, not just analysis.

The pattern-recognition advantage, working across agri-biotech, pharmaceuticals, media, and technology, has given Amit something few lawyers possess, the ability to see regulatory patterns before they fully emerge. "While industries differ, regulatory patterns and risk behaviours often repeat," he explains. The compliance intensity and scrutiny that life sciences have historically faced, for instance, is now arriving in full force for technology, AI, and data ecosystems. Having lived through the life sciences cycle, Amit says he can see exactly what is coming and help businesses stay ahead of the curve rather than scramble to react.

This is not incidental. Amit describes it as a deliberate approach: anticipating regulatory direction, identifying stress points early, and positioning clients ahead of the next wave. "I've seen it before. I know what's coming," he says with the calm confidence of someone who has been right before.

One of the more underappreciated aspects of Amit’s practice is his deep institutional literacy, the hard-won understanding of how decisions are actually shaped within courts, regulators, and policy forums, not just how they are formally announced. Having appeared before the Supreme Court, engaged with sector regulators, and contributed to policy discussions at the highest levels, he has observed first-hand how legal arguments interact with economic, political, and social considerations in real institutional settings.

"For clients, this translates into better strategy, sharper positioning, and more predictable outcomes," he says. In complex disputes or regulatory engagements, knowing the formal law is necessary, but knowing how the institution in front of you actually thinks is often what determines whether you win.

Amit's decision to join Commercial Law Chambers was, by his own account, a deliberate choice of platform over prestige. The firm, he says, represents "a convergence of deep domain expertise and high-stakes problem solving particularly in life sciences, TMT, and disputes." At this stage of his career, he was looking for somewhere he could not only practise but actively build integrating advisory, disputes, and growth into a cohesive offering.

CLC, as Amit describes it, is uniquely positioned to handle complex, high-consequence matters where legal, regulatory, and commercial considerations intersect, including regulatory and tax disputes, cross-border transactions, competition issues, and emerging challenges in healthcare, technology, and AI. The firm's agility in handling such mandates, rather than the scale of a larger institution, is precisely what attracted him.

Looking ahead, Amit sees the firm deepening its capabilities over the next three to five years in technology-led regulatory advisory, cross-border disputes, and integrated risk management particularly as businesses navigate an increasingly AI-driven and globally interconnected environment. "The direction is clear," he says. "The question is how fast you build towards it."

The USD 650 million proof point - When asked for his signature achievement, Amit doesn't hesitate. The Lupin Japan divestment valued at approximately USD 650 million, stands as the clearest illustration of the kind of work he does best. What made it exceptional was not its scale alone, but the multi-jurisdictional complexity and stakeholder alignment it demanded, all executed under tight timelines.

"It brought together regulatory, transactional, and strategic elements simultaneously," he reflects. "Precision, coordination, and sound judgment all at once." It is the kind of mandate that exposes whether a lawyer is truly operating as a strategic partner or merely as a technical functionary. Amit, clearly, was the former.

Three words clients would use to describe him: strategic, dependable, insightful. He adds a fourth - composed. "In high-pressure situations, clarity of thought and calm execution are often what clients value most."

The quiet power of good legal work, there is something Amit believes is consistently underappreciated about his field and he raises it with the conviction of someone who has seen the misperception cause real damage. Regulatory and commercial law, he argues, is far too often viewed through the lens of restriction or compliance alone. The constructive role it plays in enabling innovation, protecting long-term value, and ensuring sustainable growth goes almost entirely unreported.

"The best legal work often happens quietly," he says. "Structuring outcomes, resolving conflicts, enabling businesses to move forward with confidence." The headlines go to the courtroom dramas. The work that actually keeps businesses alive and growing rarely gets one. It is, perhaps, the profession's most significant blind spot and one Amit is quietly working to correct through the very nature of his practice.

What sets Amit apart isn't only professional range it is a parallel body of work that few would expect from a senior commercial lawyer. His initiative, Quantum State of Mind, is a project rooted in systems thinking, awareness, and human resilience. It involves community initiatives that hold space for individuals navigating mental health challenges, support for an active online community, and volunteering with teams such as the Burning Man ecosystem.

He is clear that it is distinct from his legal practice but equally clear about how deeply it informs it. "It strengthens my ability to deal with high-stakes conflict and decision-making," he explains. Approaching complexity with clarity, empathy, and the capacity to engage with uncertainty without losing balance these are not peripheral qualities for Amit. In the kind of work he does, they are central. "In many ways," he says, "it's the work that makes all the other work possible."

When Amit began his career, lawyers were largely seen as risk mitigators valuable, but reactive. Today, they are expected to be business partners and strategic advisors. But Amit believes the transformation has further to go, and faster, than most in the profession acknowledge.

The next decade, he says, will require lawyers who genuinely understand technology, artificial intelligence, data ecosystems, ESG frameworks, and global regulatory convergence not superficially, but deeply enough to lead on them. "The role is evolving from interpretation to anticipation and integration," he says. The lawyers who thrive will not be those who can react quickest to what has happened but those who can see what is coming and help their clients prepare for it.

For those considering working with him, Amit’s message is characteristically direct: "I do my best work in complex, high-stakes, and often unprecedented situations where clarity is limited, and outcomes matter." He brings what he calls a resolution-driven mindset combining legal depth with commercial understanding and stakeholder alignment. He values relationships that are trust-based, collaborative, and built for the long term. Not engagements where he dispenses advice and steps back, but partnerships where he is genuinely invested in navigating complexity alongside his clients.

In an era where legal advice is increasingly commoditised and AI is beginning to automate the routine, Amit Thukral represents a genuinely rare proposition: a lawyer who brings not just knowledge, but judgment, institutional understanding, and the quiet confidence of someone who has helped write rules before they existed. That, in the end, is not a service. It is a strategic advantage.

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

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

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

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

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

1. Solution to Unemployment and the Solar Energy Model: In his keynote address, Royal explained that Marwar possesses limitless wealth in the form of the sun. Presenting a solid economic model, he stated that if just 10% of Rajasthan's barren land is given to the unemployed and farmers, 1 megawatt of electricity can be generated on 4 acres of land, yielding an annual income of ₹50 lakh. This model can provide direct employment to 4.5 million (45 lakh) people in Marwar and generate crores in revenue, with indirect jobs reaching into the millions.
2. Tourism and Revival of Traditional Arts: He shared his journey of putting Jaisalmer on the global tourism map in 1986 alongside Dr. Lalit K. Panwar. He explained how, starting from camel stables, he built a hotel industry that didn't just construct buildings but provided local Manganiyar singers, artisans, and dancers with a global platform and sustainable employment.
3. Scientific and Historical Explanation of Casteism: Launching a scathing attack on casteism, Royal said that in ancient times, 'caste' was identified not by birth but by skill and occupation (such as potter, barber, gardener). It was merely a work style, which was later twisted into the disease of 'casteism' by the British and politicians for their selfish motives. He compared casteism to the salty water of the sea, urging people to abandon it and create sweet water through the technology of hard work.
4. Tsunami of Technology (AI) and Warning of East India Company 2.0: He warned the youth that in the near future, technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) will snatch away jobs on a massive scale. Therefore, it is essential to preserve manual skills and traditional arts. Terming large corporate retail chains as the new "East India Company," he appealed to the public to stop ordering goods from foreign online companies and to support local traders and brethren instead; otherwise, 70% of the coming generations will be left unemployed.
5. Public Policy, Not Politics (Lokneeti, Not Rajneeti): Meghraj Singh Royal clarified that the purpose of this platform is not to form a political party. However, he called upon the public to send educated, capable youth who wear suits and ties and understand technology and the economy to the Legislative Assembly and Lok Sabha, rather than uneducated leaders.

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

Solutions Along with Problems - Mukesh Meghwal: UGPF Manager Mukesh Meghwal, in an emotional address, shared that to prepare this unity platform, he toured the villages and hamlets of Marwar for three months, inviting all 36 communities. He emphasized that Shri Meghraj Singh Royal doesn't just point out society's problems but implements concrete solutions. Hotel management training for 100 youths at Suryagarh with a monthly stipend of ₹25,000, funding marriages for poor daughters, and providing free education for 700 children through the foundation are living examples. From the land of Baba Ramdev, he administered an oath to all attendees to strengthen social unity and brotherhood.

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

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

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

Importance of Education: Educationist Prof. Amrika Singh, who has served as Vice-Chancellor of universities in Rajasthan, highlighted the pivotal 'role of education' in the upliftment of society.

Message from Former IAS Lalit K. Panwar and Prof. Shakeel Parvez: During the conference, former IAS and son of Marwar, Lalit K. Panwar, and the CEO and Academic Director of the Marwar Muslim Welfare Educational Society, Prof. Shakeel Parvez, delivered special messages via video conferencing. Both speakers highly praised the three main initiatives raised by the Samajik Ekta Manch and United Global Peace Foundation—eradicating unemployment, abolishing casteism, and conserving the environment—and affirmed that the foundation is doing excellent grassroots work in these directions.

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

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

The collaboration brings the legacy of Pablo Picasso into the region’s luxury, lifestyle, and creative industries through a structured art licensing platform.

Dubai [UAE], March 17 : Maison Élan, a joint venture between AVS and UAE-based entrepreneurs Purva Kumar Pethani and Hem Sevak, has announced an exclusive collaboration with the Picasso Trust, granting Maison Élan the sole rights within the United Arab Emirates to license selected works of Pablo Picasso.

The collaboration includes a curated portfolio of over 200 Picasso artworks and authorises Maison Élan to develop licensing partnerships across carefully defined premium sectors including real estate, banking, fine jewellery, haute horology, automobiles, fashion, hospitality, lifestyle products, experiential spaces, and limited-edition collectibles. All licensed applications will operate under strict curatorial, brand, and legacy frameworks established by the Picasso Trust.

Maison Élan has been established as a luxury art and brand licensing platform designed to manage high-value cultural intellectual property while enabling thoughtful collaborations with premium brands and institutions across the UAE.

The initiative is backed by AVS, the Dubai and Mumbai based arts and entertainment company founded by media entrepreneur Abishek S Vyas, which operates across film production, content driven intellectual property and art licensing.

With over 16 years of experience across companies including Viacom18, Disney, Eros International, Zee Entertainment and Netflix, Vyas brings a strong understanding of how global creative ecosystems operate across entertainment, culture, and commerce.

For AVS, the collaboration represents a natural extension of its larger vision to connect storytelling, cultural assets, and global intellectual property with contemporary audiences.

Abishek S Vyas, Founder and CEO, AVS, said: “Great art has always influenced storytelling, cinema, design, and popular culture. Through Maison Élan, we are creating a platform where iconic artistic legacies like Picasso can engage with today’s creative and luxury ecosystems in a meaningful way. As AVS continues to build across film, content IP, and cultural collaborations, this partnership reflects our broader vision of bringing together art, entertainment, and global brand storytelling.”

Koji Nakamura, Owner of the global licensing company representing Picasso rights, said: “The UAE represents one of the most dynamic luxury and cultural markets globally. We are pleased to collaborate with Maison Élan as our exclusive licensing partner in the region. Their structured approach, regional understanding, and longterm vision ensure that the Picasso legacy will be represented with integrity and thoughtful stewardship across carefully selected partnerships.”

Purva Kumar Pethani, Co-ounder of Maison Élan, added: “The UAE has emerged as a global centre for art, luxury, and cultural innovation. Maison Élan has been created to bridge iconic global art legacies with discerning regional partners who value heritage, craftsmanship, and authenticity.”

Hem Sevak, Co-Founder of Maison Élan, said: “Our focus is on building meaningful, carefully curated partnerships that honour the artistic legacy while enabling contemporary interpretation across premium sectors.”

While global art licensing collaborations have taken place in several international markets, this marks the first time a structured Picasso licensing mandate is being introduced in the UAE, with Maison Élan serving as the exclusive platform managing these partnerships.

With operations anchored in Dubai and Mumbai, AVS continues to expand its footprint across films, art licensing, and cultural intellectual property, building a platform that sits at the intersection of entertainment, art, and global creative industries across India and the Middle East.

Mumbai : Eggfirst, the semi-urban and rural specialist strategy, creative, digital and media agency, successfully hosted the 5th edition of the Chalo Bharat Marketing Conclave and Awards on 18th February 2026, at The Westin (Mumbai), bringing together leading marketers, founders, CMOs and industry decision-makers for an insightful exchange on the evolving dynamics of marketing in Bharat. With participation from over 450+ industry professionals, the conclave continued to strengthen its position as a key platform for conversations shaping India’s next phase of marketing and advertising.

Chief Guest and Keynote Speaker Shri R. S. Sodhi, Former MD of Amul, delivered a compelling address on building ageless brands that endure across generations. Emphasising the importance of honesty in branding, he spoke about how trust is not manufactured through messaging alone but earned through consistency in product quality and purity over time. He underlined that authentic storytelling must be rooted in the truth of what a brand delivers, not merely in what it claims to represent, adding that brands which remain transparent in their communication and uncompromising about the integrity of their offering are the ones that build lasting emotional equity with consumers across geographies and generations.

As the creators of the Chalo Bharat platform, Eggfirst shared insights from the Chalo Bharat Consumer Study 2026: The Millennial Set through an address by Ravi Banka, Founder and CEO of Eggfirst, underscoring the need for research-backed data to inform not just brand narratives but also optimise messaging and media deployment. Such an approach enables marketers to deliver the right message to the right audience more efficiently, improving the effectiveness of spends and driving stronger ROI in diverse and rapidly evolving markets like Bharat.

These themes carried forward into two power-packed panel discussions that explored some of the most pressing questions facing marketers today. One discussion examined the growing tension between long-term brand building and performance-driven marketing, debating whether immediate, measurable outcomes are overshadowing the need for sustained brand equity. Another session explored the changing nature of consumer loyalty in a data-led, discount-driven marketplace, questioning whether loyalty is fading or simply evolving into a more value-conscious relationship between brands and consumers.

Acclaimed producer and media entrepreneur Siddharth Roy Kapur, drawing from his extensive media and marketing experience, strongly advocated building enduring brand awareness. A sentiment echoed by many in the panel.
Adding a strong grassroots dimension to the dialogue, a dedicated influencer panel featured regional creators Yash and Santu Choudhary from Rajasthan and Shruti Sharma AKA Shruti Pahari from Himachal Pradesh, who shared how their deep connection with local culture, language and community trust shapes audience engagement. The discussion highlighted how influencer marketing in rural and semi-urban markets is driven less by scale and more by authenticity, relatability and cultural credibility.

The evening also saw the Chalo Bharat Awards, celebrating brands and campaigns that have successfully connected with Bharat through culturally rooted thinking and contextually relevant execution.

Together, the Chalo Bharat Marketing Conclave and Awards reinforced Eggfirst’s vision of placing Bharat at the forefront of marketing conversations by bringing together diverse industry voices and real on-ground perspectives to create meaningful dialogue on how brands can build deeper, more authentic connections with India’s rapidly evolving consumer base through integrity-led storytelling and research-driven strategy.

Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], February 24: At a time when Artificial Intelligence is being discussed at the highest national forums, Navrachana University’s Centre for Interdisciplinary Computing Science (CICS), in collaboration with AtliQ Technologies, hosted AI DAY 2026 — a full-day initiative aimed at fostering practical understanding and informed adoption of AI. The event, themed AI Beyond Theory, focused on separating measurable value from hype and encouraging clarity-led implementation.

Held from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the Navrachana University campus, the event witnessed participation from more than 200 founders, business owners, technology leaders, engineers, analysts, and students. Rather than limiting the engagement to tool demonstrations, the sessions addressed critical implementation questions — where AI delivers measurable impact, where automation suffices, how organisations should assess return on investment, and how to avoid unnecessary complexity.

The keynote sessions were conducted in association with AtliQ Technologies and Codebasics. Dhaval Patel, co-founder of Codebasics and a widely followed data and AI educator with over 1.4 million subscribers on YouTube, led the sessions. Emphasising clarity over complexity, he highlighted that sustainable AI adoption begins with foundational understanding and structured thinking rather than pursuing advanced tools without context. The sessions focused on practical use cases, structured decision-making frameworks, and measurable outcome-oriented implementation approaches.

Prof. Sandeep Vasant, Director, Centre for Interdisciplinary Computing Science (CICS), said - “There is often discussion about a technology gap, but equally important is the human gap — the ability and willingness to adapt. While AI is augmenting human capabilities, the human-in-the-loop will always remain pivotal. Those who choose not to engage with it meaningfully may find themselves left behind. History offers perspective — when computers were first introduced, similar concerns were raised about replacement. Instead, humans became integral to their effective use. Artificial Intelligence may reshape certain roles or reduce routine tasks, but it cannot replace human contribution when individuals are equipped and prepared to integrate it thoughtfully. Ultimately, AI will reward those who adapt alongside it.”

Throughout the day, discussions progressed from applied AI scenarios and implementation misconceptions to cost-versus-benefit assessments and models for long-term integration. Emphasis was laid on bridging both technological and human readiness gaps, ensuring that adoption strengthens rather than replaces human judgment.

About the Centre for Interdisciplinary Computing Science (CICS)

Established to promote interdisciplinary computing research and applied innovation, CICS serves as Navrachana University’s dedicated platform for advancing emerging technologies through industry engagement and practical implementation. The Centre focuses on bridging engineering, analytics, and business domains to deliver scalable and socially relevant technology solutions.

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], January 21: Perfect brows are no longer a luxury; they’re a confidence essential. In a city like Mumbai, where humidity, long workdays, and fast-paced lifestyles demand beauty that lasts, ombre powder brows have become the most trusted eyebrow beauty treatment for naturally defined, low-maintenance brows. This advanced ombre powder brow treatment is especially popular among clients who want long-lasting results without daily makeup.

Unlike traditional eyebrow tattooing or temporary brow tinting, this advanced ombre brow technique creates soft, shaded, and perfectly balanced ombre eyebrows that look like expertly applied makeup, every single day. At The BrowMaster, we combine artistry, safety, and precision to deliver permanent makeup brows that enhance your features while still looking completely natural.

If you’re searching for the best ombre powder brows salon in Mumbai, this guide will help you understand why this treatment is so loved, what to expect, and whether it’s right for you.

Top 5 Benefits of Ombre Powder Brows

• Natural, Makeup-Like Finish: Ombre powder brows use gentle brow shading to create a soft gradient effect, lighter at the front and deeper at the tail. The result is polished brows that never look harsh or overdone.

• Perfect for Oily & Humid Skin: Mumbai’s climate can make other techniques fade unevenly. This is why most professional ombre powder brows studios in Mumbai recommend powder brows over microblading. The pigment holds better, heals evenly, and fades beautifully.

• Long-Lasting Results: As a form of semi-permanent eyebrows, ombre powder brows typically last 12–18 months, reducing the need for daily filling, brow shaping, or frequent brow tinting.

• Fully Customised Brow Design: A skilled ombre brow artist designs your brows based on facial structure, skin tone, and personal style, ensuring balanced, symmetrical eyebrow enhancement.

• Saves Time Every Day: No more struggling with pencils or powders. You wake up with perfectly shaped brows, ready for work, travel, and social events.

Pros and Cons of Ombre Powder Brows

Pros

Soft, natural finish suitable for all skin types:
Ombre powder brows create a gentle, shaded look that mimics professionally applied makeup. Because the pigment is layered softly, the results suit oily, dry, combination, and mature skin without looking blocky or harsh.

Better pigment retention than microblading:
Instead of thin hair strokes that can blur, the powder shading method deposits pigment evenly. This leads to smoother healing and longer-lasting colour, especially in Mumbai’s humid climate.

Long-lasting permanent makeup brows:
As a form of permanent makeup brows, ombre powder brows deliver consistent, groomed results for 12–18 months, reducing the need for daily brow products.

Low-maintenance beauty routine:
Once healed, you no longer need daily filling, brow shaping, or frequent brow tinting. Your brows stay polished from morning to night.

Customised brow shaping for every face:
Each set of brows is designed to match your facial structure, skin tone, and style. A skilled ombre brow artist ensures balanced symmetry and natural enhancement.

Cons (Things You Should Know Honestly)

It is an ombre powder brow tattoo, so it is not completely temporary. Although the pigment fades naturally, this is a semi-permanent procedure. Choosing the right shape, colour, and artist is essential for long-term satisfaction.

Healing takes a few weeks and requires proper aftercare:
Your brows will go through darkening, light flaking, and colour softening before settling. Following aftercare instructions is crucial for even healing and beautiful results.

Results depend heavily on the skill of the artist:
Poor artists can lead to uneven colour or shape. This is why selecting an experienced ombre brow artist is critical.

Cheap clinics can cause uneven colour or premature fading:
Low-quality pigments and rushed procedures often result in disappointing outcomes. Professional ombre powder brows clinics in Mumbai invest in premium pigments, safety standards, and advanced techniques for reliable, long-lasting brows.

This is why choosing experienced ombre powder brow clinics in Mumbai, like The BrowMaster, is essential for safe, beautiful results.

How Long Do Ombre Powder Brows Last?

Ombre powder brows usually last 12 to 18 months, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

• Oily skin may fade slightly faster
• Dry skin retains pigment longer
• Sun exposure and skincare products affect longevity

A touch-up session after 6–8 weeks is recommended to perfect colour and shape, ensuring your brows heal evenly and look flawless.

Cost of Ombre Powder Brows in Mumbai (please add browmasters current pricing)

The cost of ombre powder brows in Mumbai depends on the artist’s experience, the quality of the pigments, safety standards, and the level of customisation.

At premium ombre powder brows studios in Mumbai, prices usually range from:

• ₹18,000 to ₹35,000 for a full ombre powder brows treatment
• Touch-up session after 6–8 weeks: ₹3,000 to ₹6,000 (may be included in some packages)

While cheaper options may seem attractive, remember this is a permanent makeup brows procedure. Investing in an experienced ombre brow artist ensures safe application, beautiful colour retention, and long-lasting results.

New Delhi [India], January 20 : In an era where the home and kitchen appliance market is crowded with flashy claims, limited-time discounts, and feature-heavy messaging, truTRTL is choosing a quieter, more deliberate path. With the reintroduction of its brand mascot, Mr. TRU, the brand reiterates a philosophy it has stood by since inception: No big claims. Just true value.

truTRTL, a growing home and kitchen appliance brand, has anchored its identity around one simple principle—products should do what they are meant to do, consistently, safely, and at a price that makes sense. Mr. TRU, inspired by the turtle, becomes the embodiment of this belief. A timeless symbol of wisdom, patience, and steady progress, the mascot serves as a reminder that the best choices are rarely rushed and that long-term value matters more than short-term excitement.

Q: truTRTL has reintroduced its brand mascot, Mr. TRU. What does this represent for the brand?
Mr. TRU represents the philosophy that truTRTL has always believed in—true value over noise. Inspired by the turtle, he symbolizes wisdom, patience, and steady progress. In a market full of exaggerated claims and rushed buying decisions, Mr. TRU is a reminder that good choices are thoughtful and long-term. He stands for calm, clarity, and reliability, values that are deeply embedded in how we design, price, and support our products.

Q: The brand speaks strongly about “no big claims, just true value.” What does that mean in practical terms?
For us, it means resisting the temptation to overpromise. We don’t claim luxury, and we don’t inflate performance metrics to look better on paper. True value is about delivering products that work consistently in real-life conditions. It’s the balance of convenience, safety, durability, and service—all at a fair price. If a product does its job well every day, over years of use, that’s real value.

Q: How does truTRTL define value beyond pricing?
Price is only one part of the equation. Value comes from how a product fits into daily life. Before launching any product, we ask three core questions: Who will use it? How often will it be used? And what should never go wrong? These questions guide decisions around materials, safety components, feature selection, and design. We prioritize stronger materials where needed, safer components over cheaper options, and features that genuinely help customers rather than just look impressive in marketing.

Q: What kind of customers are truTRTL products designed for?
Our products are designed for everyday living. That includes households, hostel rooms, rented homes, and first-time buyers. These customers want appliances that are reliable, easy to use, and low on maintenance. From kettles and air fryers to fans and essential kitchen appliances, convenience and safety are non-negotiable. We’re not building aspirational luxury products—we’re building dependable tools for daily use.

Q: Many brands rely heavily on discounts to attract customers. How does truTRTL approach pricing?
We believe honest pricing builds long-term trust. Instead of cutting corners on quality to reduce costs, we focus on reducing inefficiencies across our supply chain, logistics, and inventory management. This allows us to offer competitively priced products without compromising on safety or durability. Customers should feel they’ve received more than what they paid for—not because of discounts, but because the product genuinely delivers.

Q: Service is often overlooked in the appliances category. How important is it for truTRTL?
Service is a critical part of our value proposition. A product doesn’t end at the point of sale. We’ve invested in customer support systems that allow faster responses and quicker resolutions across phone, email, website, and WhatsApp. Our focus is simple—when issues arise, we address them efficiently and transparently. A smooth post-purchase experience is essential to building trust.

Q: As Co-founder and Director of Collaborations and Manufacturing, what does your role at truTRTL involve?
My role is to ensure that what we promise as a brand is delivered at the product level. This includes overseeing manufacturing operations, building strategic collaborations, and maintaining quality and consistency across our portfolio. Manufacturing is where brand trust is actually built. If manufacturing decisions are right, many downstream problems simply don’t occur.

Q: You come from a second-generation manufacturing background. How has that shaped your approach?
Growing up in a manufacturing environment teaches you discipline, patience, and accountability. You learn early that shortcuts always show up eventually—either in product failures or customer dissatisfaction. That mindset has stayed with me. At truTRTL, we focus on building products that perform consistently over time, not just on day one.

Q: What has been one of your most significant professional achievements so far?
Scaling manufacturing and distribution simultaneously has been a major milestone. We currently manage a monthly throughput of around 1.5 lakh units while building a pan-India distribution network covering over 15,000 pin codes and 5,000 retail outlets. Achieving scale without compromising quality reinforced our belief that strong systems and execution make sustainable growth possible.

Q: The home appliances market is highly competitive and fast-changing. How does truTRTL stay relevant?
We stay closely connected to customer feedback and real usage patterns. Our product decisions are driven by how people actually use appliances, not by trends alone. Being proactive rather than reactive helps us introduce products that are contemporary yet practical. Relevance, for us, comes from usefulness, not novelty.

Q: truTRTL places strong emphasis on the idea of “true value.” What does that mean to you personally?
True value is about balance. It’s not just about being affordable, and it’s not about being premium either. It’s the combination of quality, safety, durability, and service at a fair price. As a manufacturer, I believe value is created when a product delivers reliably without creating friction for the customer at any stage of ownership.

Q: What role does manufacturing play in building customer trust?
Manufacturing determines almost everything the customer experiences later. Material choices, safety components, assembly precision—these decisions directly affect performance and longevity. When manufacturing is done right, service issues reduce and trust builds naturally. It’s the foundation of any credible brand.

Q: What is your long-term manufacturing vision for truTRTL?
Over the next five years, we aim to build or collaborate with manufacturing capacities capable of producing up to 2.5 million units per month across multiple appliance categories. This supports our long-term growth ambitions and aligns with our commitment to Make in India, not just for domestic consumption but also for global markets.

Q: Why is the 18–22 age group an important focus for the brand?
This is often when people make their first independent purchase decisions. If we deliver strong value at that stage, we earn trust early. The idea is to grow with the customer over time, remaining relevant as their needs and purchasing power evolve.

Q: How do you see truTRTL standing out as customers move toward higher-ticket purchases?
Consistency builds credibility. If a customer has had a positive experience with an entry-level product, they are far more likely to trust the brand when making a larger purchase later. Loyalty is earned through repeated, reliable experiences.

Q: Beyond business, what keeps you grounded?
Spending time with family helps maintain balance. I also enjoy playing cricket regularly—it keeps me active and focused. Staying grounded is important when you’re building something for the long term.

Q: You’re also involved in social causes. Why is this important to you?
Being part of a business ecosystem comes with responsibility. Our association with a blind school supporting over 300 children is very close to our hearts. It’s important to contribute in ways that create real impact beyond business outcomes.

As truTRTL reintroduces Mr. TRU, the message is clear: trust is not built through loud promises, but through consistent action. With thoughtful manufacturing, honest pricing, and dependable service, truTRTL continues to focus on what truly matters—delivering value that holds up over time. Please Visit for More Information : https://trutrtl.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorMHfvseZCglLtLzQXMeqE_GFuFMuHGe9PDfhyOuYItz4FcuqGd

Mr. Tridev Kapoor, Director – Sales, Investor Home Solutions, added, “What truly sets this investor meet apart is the depth of engagement and maturity of dialogue we witnessed. Today’s ultra-luxury investor is not only looking at aesthetics but also long-term value, global alignment, and asset credibility. Branded residences answer that need, and this platform allows investors to evaluate the segment with clarity and confidence.”

Thus, with such an investor-oriented event organized without prior publicity, IHS reaffirmed its position of leadership in luxury and branded residential investments. The event positioned branded residences as an independent asset class with high growth, thus setting a new benchmark for investor outreach and education in India.

Prayanvi - Celebrating India’s Timeless Weaves and Living Traditions

Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], January 8 : Prayanvi, a heritage-inspired saree brand dedicated to India’s traditional handwoven textiles, officially unveiled its website on Sunday, January 4, 2026, at Suryansh Hotels & Resorts, Bhubaneswar. The launch marks a significant milestone in the brand’s journey of preserving India’s rich weaving heritage while making authentic sarees accessible to modern women across the country.

Founded by Shivashree, Prayanvi was born from a deep-rooted love for sarees — not merely as garments, but as expressions of identity, culture, and womanhood. What began as a personal admiration for traditional drapes evolved into a purposeful mission to revive fading weaves and bring the stories of Indian artisans to the forefront.

Speaking about the brand, Shivashree said, “Every saree carries the heartbeat of the land it comes from and the artisan who weaves it. Prayanvi is my tribute to India’s weaving legacy and to the skilled hands that keep our cultural traditions alive.”

Prayanvi travels across India to curate pure, traditional handwoven sarees directly from artisans and weaving clusters. The collections include iconic weaves such as Banarasi from Uttar Pradesh, Kanjeevaram from Tamil Nadu, Tussar from Bihar, and Patola from Gujarat. Each saree is handpicked for its authenticity, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance, ensuring an honest representation of India’s textile heritage.

The name Prayanvi means “a graceful journey forward,” reflecting the brand’s philosophy of progress rooted in tradition. At its core, Prayanvi stands for cultural preservation, ethical sourcing, and empowering artisans, while offering sarees that carry history, emotion, and soul.

The website launch event was graced by several prominent personalities from Odisha’s cultural and public life, including noted Ollywood celebrities Bhoomika Dash, Sivani Sangita, Debjani Deghuria, and actor-turned-politician Akash Das Nayak.

With the launch of its digital platform, Prayanvi aims to expand its reach nationally and globally, connecting conscious consumers with India’s authentic handloom traditions while continuing to support artisan communities across the country.

Prayanvi is not just a saree brand — it is a celebration of stories, craftsmanship, and a graceful journey forward, one weave at a time.

About Prayanvi

Prayanvi is a heritage saree brand that curates authentic handwoven sarees from across India. By working closely with artisans and traditional weaving communities, Prayanvi seeks to preserve India’s textile legacy while offering timeless drapes for the modern woman.

New Delhi [India] : As private wealth grows across emerging economies, families are facing questions that extend well beyond investment performance. How should wealth be organised once it outlives the founder? How can families prevent personal dynamics from spilling into business decisions? And how can wealth remain relevant for generations that have grown up in very different environments?

These questions sit at the centre of Soumik Bandyopadhyay’s work with business families across India and overseas. Drawing on decades of experience in finance, governance, and family enterprise, he views the global family office model as a practical response to complexity rather than a symbol of sophistication. In mature economies, family offices have evolved into institutions designed to provide continuity, structure, and long-term clarity. For emerging economies, they offer lessons that are increasingly difficult to ignore.

The Family Office as a Continuity Mechanism

In developed markets, family offices are built with continuity as their primary objective. They are not designed around short-term gains or annual benchmarks, but around ensuring that wealth, responsibility, and decision-making move smoothly across generations.

This approach contrasts with how wealth is often managed in emerging economies, where rapid entrepreneurial success can lead to wealth accumulation without parallel institutional development. Soumik Bandyopadhyay often highlights that continuity does not happen automatically with size of wealth. It requires deliberate structures that separate family wealth from operating businesses and protect it from both market volatility and internal strain.

Professionalisation Over Convenience

A defining feature of global family offices is professionalisation. In many mature systems, family offices are staffed by professionals whose sole responsibility is managing wealth, risk, and governance. These roles are kept distinct from operating business leadership.

In emerging economies, family offices are frequently treated as extensions of the core business, with senior executives or trusted insiders managing wealth alongside other responsibilities. While this may seem operationally expedient, it creates conflicting incentives. Business leaders are rewarded for growth and risk-taking, while family offices must prioritise preservation and stability. The global model shows why separating these functions leads to clearer judgement and fewer long-term complications.

Governance as a Practical Tool

Governance within global family offices is not about rigidity or control. It is about clarity. Documented frameworks define how decisions are made, who participates, and how disagreements are resolved. This reduces dependence on individual authority and allows institutions to function even when leadership changes.

In emerging economies, governance often remains informal and personality-driven. Soumik Bandyopadhyay observes that this approach works only up to a point. As families grow and wealth becomes more diversified, informality can create uncertainty. Formal governance, introduced thoughtfully, helps families navigate complexity without turning every decision into a personal negotiation.

Structured Communication, Not Emotional Escalation

Global family offices treat communication as a process rather than an afterthought. Regular family gatherings and meetings, transparent reporting, and defined forums ensure that family members remain informed and aligned. Sensitive issues such as succession, risk exposure, and asset allocation are addressed early rather than during moments of crisis.

In many emerging economies, communication within families is informal and emotionally driven. While closeness is a strength, the absence of structure can lead to misgivings and misalignments. The global model demonstrates that structure does not weaken relationships. Instead, it creates space for difficult conversations to happen calmly and constructively.

A Broader Understanding of Risk

Risk, in the global family office context, is viewed far more broadly than market fluctuations. It includes concentration risk, governance failures, reputational exposure, and family-related disruptions. This wider perspective recognises that wealth can be undermined as easily by internal breakdown as by external shocks.

Emerging economies often celebrate risk-taking, particularly among first-generation entrepreneurs. While this mindset drives growth, it can leave family wealth exposed once control begins to shift. Soumik Bandyopadhyay emphasises that defining risk tolerance clearly is essential. Ambition need not be abandoned, but it must be supported by safeguards that reflect long-term priorities.

Adapting Global Models to Local Contexts

One of the most common mistakes among high-net-worth families in emerging economies is attempting to replicate Western family office structures without adaptation. Legal systems, cultural norms, and family dynamics vary widely, and direct imitation often leads to misalignment.

The global family office model works best when treated as a set of principles rather than a fixed blueprint. Independence, professionalisation, governance, and transparency can be adapted to local realities. The objective is not to westernise family wealth management, but to strengthen it in a way that respects context while introducing discipline.

Purpose as an Organising Principle

Many global family offices are increasingly guided by clearly articulated purpose. Wealth is aligned with values that influence decisions across generations, from investment philosophy to governance design and philanthropy.

For emerging economies, this emphasis is particularly relevant. Rapid wealth creation can easily outpace clarity of intent. Soumik Bandyopadhyay views purpose as a stabilising force that helps families avoid fragmentation as businesses evolve or assets are restructured. Purpose provides continuity even when the form of wealth changes.

Preparing Future Generations

Global family offices place strong emphasis on preparing the next generation for responsibility. Education, exposure, and gradual involvement are built into the system. Successors are given understanding before authority and context before control.

In emerging economies, leadership transitions often happen too late or too abruptly. Founders may retain control for decades or hand over responsibilities without sufficient preparation. The global model demonstrates that continuity improves when leadership development is treated as an ongoing process rather than a one-time event.

Philanthropy With Structure and Intent

In mature family office systems, philanthropy is rarely ad hoc. It is structured, governed, and aligned with family values. This ensures consistency and accountability while allowing families to contribute meaningfully beyond their businesses.

Emerging economies often approach philanthropy through compliance or ad-hoc opportunism or personal preference. The global model highlights the value of treating giving as a deliberate extension of family intent rather than an obligation disconnected from long-term goals.

Institutions That Endure

The global family office model offers emerging economies a clear lesson. Wealth becomes fragile when it grows faster than the systems designed to manage it. Family offices succeed not because they are complex, but because they are intentional.

As Soumik Bandyopadhyay has consistently observed, families that focus early on structure, governance, and clarity are better equipped to navigate change. Professionalisation, disciplined communication, and clearly defined purpose allow wealth to serve generations rather than burden them. For emerging economies experiencing rapid private wealth creation, the path forward lies not in copying global models, but in learning from them. When adapted thoughtfully, the family office becomes more than a financial structure. It becomes an institution designed to last.

Moving made secure with Secure Move

New Delhi [India], January 8: Secure Move is always one stop, no. 1 destination for packing & moving needs in Delhi NCR. No matter how confident you are, moving shakes you a little. There’s always that moment when you pause, look at your household items, and feel the weight of all the memories, the belongings, the life you’ve built, knowing you’re about to trust strangers with everything. That moment is heavy.

People rarely talk about this part.

They talk about trucks, boxes, and timelines. But the real concern is trust.
Will my things be safe? Will they care? Will they show up on time?

That’s where Secure Move quietly earns its name.

Not loudly. Not with flashy promises. But with calm confidence, honest communication, and work that speaks for itself. In a city like Delhi NCR, where options are endless, and reliability is rare, Secure Move has built something solid—one move at a time.

This isn’t just another listing of packers and movers in Delhi.
This is a secure move, emotionally and practically.

A Legacy of Reliability and Professionalism Led by Ex-Army Person Mr Hem Chander

Some people run businesses. Others lead them.

Mr Hem Chander belongs to the second kind.

As an Ex-Army professional, he brings something uncommon into the packing and moving industry discipline without arrogance, authority without noise. Army life teaches you one thing very clearly: when someone trusts you, you do not let them down.

That mindset flows directly into Secure Move.

There’s no rushing jobs just to finish early. No careless handling. No excuses. Every relocation is treated like a responsibility, not a sale. And clients feel that difference almost immediately, sometimes in the very first conversation.

People often say, “I felt confident after speaking to him.”
That confidence doesn’t come from scripted words. It comes from experience, clarity, and a calm way of handling things.

In a business built on trust, leadership matters. And Secure Move has that foundation firmly in place.

Our Packing & Moving Services

1. House Packing & Moving – Because a Home Is Never Just Stuff

Homes carry stories.

The sofa where you sat with your family.
The kitchen shelf that somehow survived every move.
The fragile items you never let anyone touch.

Secure Move understands this better than most. House shifting here isn’t rushed. Items are packed patiently, labelled properly, and handled with respect. Fragile things get extra attention. Heavy furniture gets proper tools, not shortcuts.

The goal is simple: when you unpack, everything should feel familiar again. No unpleasant surprises. No unnecessary losses.

2. Office Relocation – Quiet, Planned, and Efficient

Office moves don’t need chaos. They need planning.

Secure Move approaches office relocation with structure—files organised, systems disconnected safely, furniture handled methodically. The team works around your schedule because business time matters.

When employees walk into the new space, things make sense. That’s when you know the move was done right.

3 . Car Transport – Trusting Someone With Your Vehicle Isn’t Easy

Handing over your car keys takes trust.

Secure Move’s car transport service is built around that understanding. Vehicles are loaded carefully, secured properly, and transported using reliable carriers. Updates are shared, questions are answered, and nothing is hidden.

Whether it’s a daily-use car or something more valuable, it’s treated with care—not indifference.

4. Bike Transport – Simple, Safe, and Straightforward

Bikes are personal. Anyone who rides knows that.

Secure Move offers bike transport service with protective wrapping and stable positioning so scratches, bends, and damage don’t become part of the story. When your bike arrives at its destination, it looks the same as when it left.

That’s all people really want.

5. Pet Transport – Moving With a Family Member Who Can’t Speak

Pets feel stress differently.

Secure Move’s pet transport service is handled gently, patiently, and with sensitivity. From paperwork to actual movement, everything is arranged to keep your pet comfortable and safe.

Because pets don’t understand relocation, but they understand care.

6. Gym & Heavy Equipment Moving – Strength With Planning

Heavy equipment doesn’t forgive mistakes.

Secure Move uses trained staff, proper tools, and step-by-step handling for gym equipment and heavy items. There’s no dragging, no guessing, no damage.

Just controlled, careful work.

What Makes Us Better Than Others? We Simply Care More

Many companies say they’re professional.
Few actually act like it.

Secure Move focuses on the small things like showing up on time, speaking respectfully, using clean materials, explaining the whole transport process, and staying reachable. These things don’t cost extra, 24/7 customer support that changes the entire transport experience.

People remember how a move made them feel.
Secure Move aims to make it feel calm.

New Delhi [India], December 31: In an ecosystem where many new ventures struggle within their first few years of operation, a new initiative is aiming to address the skills gap often faced by first-time entrepreneurs. Blokista Education Academy, led by Vicky Malik (Founder & Managing Director), plans to offer structured learning resources focused on business fundamentals such as market understanding, marketing, and operations.

Publicly available industry reports indicate that a significant number of Indian startups shut down annually, underlining the challenges young founders face in navigating the complexities of running a business. These challenges often extend beyond having an idea or securing initial funding.

Experts note that many first-time entrepreneurs are influenced by visible success stories, sometimes without fully understanding the operational and strategic demands of building a sustainable business. "There is a perception that entrepreneurship is quick and simple if others are earning well," said an industry analyst. "But running a business demands skills that many founders have not been exposed to."

Why Many Startup Businesses Fail in Their Early Stages

A commonly observed issue across early-stage ventures is limited preparation in areas such as business fundamentals, marketing strategy, and operational planning. Founders may prioritise setting up infrastructure, at times allocating a substantial portion of their initial capital to it, which can restrict resources available for marketing and growth initiatives.

Many entrepreneurs also lack structured exposure to essential functions such as defining a viable product or service, understanding customer needs, analysing competitive markets, and building effective sales channels. Without these foundational capabilities, startups may struggle when real-world conditions differ from initial expectations.

“Too many entrepreneurs underestimate the importance of a marketing strategy,” said a business coach. “They assume that a good product will attract customers on its own, but awareness and customer engagement require deliberate planning and execution.”

Operational challenges can further add pressure. Small teams frequently face difficulties related to cash flow management, performance tracking, hiring, and day-to-day process efficiency. When such core functions weaken, even promising ideas can lose momentum.

In this context, Vicky Malik has spoken about the importance of structured business education for early-stage founders.

Focus on Practical Knowledge on How to Run and Grow a Business

Vicky Malik, who has worked across areas such as finance, technology, and e-commerce, said that many startups struggle not due to a lack of ideas, but because founders are unfamiliar with practical aspects of business execution. He has been involved in advisory and training roles with organisations and now aims to contribute to broader foundational learning for entrepreneurs.

To support aspiring entrepreneurs, Malik’s initiative, Blokista Education Academy Pvt Ltd, is expected to begin operations in early 2026. The academy plans to offer learning programmes covering business basics such as opportunity identification, product or service definition, marketing principles, and operational planning.

Building an Ecosystem for Business Growth Through Training and Support

Blokista Education Academy plans to organise seminars, workshops, and webinars across India, with a focus on practical learning for early-stage founders. These sessions are intended to facilitate interaction between new entrepreneurs and professionals with relevant industry experience.

"We want to create an environment where people can learn how business actually works, rather than just relying on theories or luck," Malik said in a recent interview. "Understanding core principles - how to attract customers, manage operations, and make informed decisions - is essential for survival and growth."

How Blokista Education Academy Plans to Address Key Business Gaps

The proposed programmes include startup training seminars, business strategy discussions, and peer learning forums. Topics may also explore emerging tools such as AI and blockchain in a general business context, particularly in relation to operational efficiency and data management.

As India’s startup ecosystem continues to mature, structured learning and early exposure to business fundamentals are increasingly viewed as helpful for improving survival rates. Industry observers note that informed planning and skill development can play a role in helping founders navigate early challenges more effectively.

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], December 23: India’s Global Capability Centers (GCCs) have undergone a remarkable transformation over the past two decades. What began as cost-effective back-office operations has evolved into strategic innovation hubs driving global business value for multinational corporations. As of 2025, India hosts over 1,900 GCCs, employing more than 1.9 million professionals and contributing significantly to the economy with revenues exceeding $64 billion. Projections indicate the sector could reach $100-110 billion by 2030, with a workforce surpassing 3 million.

At the heart of this growth is the evolving role of Human Resources (HR). No longer confined to administrative tasks like payroll and compliance, HR in GCCs has become a strategic partner, architect of talent strategies, and driver of organisational transformation. This shift reflects the broader maturation of GCCs from “capability centres” to “global value organisations.”

From Administrative Support to Strategic Business Partner

Traditionally, HR in early GCCs focused on operational essentials: recruitment for back-office roles, managing payroll, ensuring legal compliance, and handling basic employee relations. These centers leveraged India’s cost advantages and talent pool for functions like IT support, finance, and customer service.

Today, as GCCs expand into high-value areas such as AI/ML, cybersecurity, R&D, product development, digital transformation, and even ESG initiatives, HR’s responsibilities have expanded dramatically:

• Global Workforce Alignment: HR ensures seamless integration between Indian teams and global headquarters, aligning roles, policies, and performance metrics with parent company objectives.

• Niche Talent Acquisition: With demand surging for specialised skills in AI, data analytics, cloud computing, and emerging technologies, HR leads targeted hiring for “future-ready” roles. In 2025, AI-related positions are among the fastest-growing, with GCCs competing fiercely for top talent.

• Leadership Development: Building local leadership pipelines is critical, as more global roles are shifting to India. HR invests in mentorship, cross-functional training, and programs to groom Indian professionals for senior positions, including those with $1 million+ compensation packages.

• Cultural Integration and Employee Experience: Bridging global corporate cultures with local expectations, HR fosters inclusive environments, promotes diversity and inclusion (DEI), and enhances employee value propositions (EVP) through flexible work models, well-being programs, and career growth opportunities.

Key Trends Shaping HR in GCCs (2024-2025)

Recent reports highlight several transformative trends:

• AI-Driven HR Practices: Tools for candidate sourcing, screening, predictive analytics, and even automating routine tasks like job postings and interview preparation are becoming standard, enabling faster and more efficient hiring.

• Upskilling and Reskilling Focus: With skill gaps in advanced technologies, HR prioritizes continuous learning, partnerships with academia, and internal mobility to future-proof the workforce.

• Expansion to Tier-2/3 Cities: To combat attrition in metro hubs and tap new talent pools, GCCs are moving operations to cities like Jaipur, Coimbatore, and Pune, requiring HR to adapt localized strategies.

• Hybrid and Flexible Work: Post-pandemic models persist, with HR emphasizing engagement in distributed teams and gig/flexible talent for specialized projects.

• Performance-Based Compensation and Retention: Amid rising voluntary attrition in high-demand sectors, HR shifts toward disciplined hiring, green skills development, and resilient team-building.

Challenges and the Path Forward

Despite the opportunities, HR leaders face hurdles:

• Talent shortages in mid-senior levels and domain-specific expertise (e.g., regulatory knowledge in BFSI or healthcare).

• High competition leading to attrition.

• Balancing global standards with India-specific workforce dynamics.

The future of HR in GCCs lies in becoming “brain trust” rather than just backbone—leveraging data analytics for workforce planning, embedding innovation in culture, and driving business outcomes directly. As one industry expert notes, HR must understand “what keeps business managers awake at night” to truly partner in growth.

India’s GCCs are not just supporting global operations; they’re leading them. And HR is the key enabler turning talent into competitive advantage.

In this era of GCC 4.0, strategic HR will define which centers thrive as true innovation powerhouses. The evolution is ongoing—exciting times ahead for India’s talent ecosystem!

New Delhi [India], December 19: There’s something quietly powerful about traditions that survive centuries. They don’t shout for attention. They don’t change with trends. They simply work. Rati Organics, a newly launched Ayurvedic-inspired personal care brand, is built on that very belief. With its debut product, Rati Organics Natural Rose Water 100 ML, the brand takes its first step toward reviving India’s ancient wellness wisdom in a form that feels relevant, honest, and refreshingly simple today.

Founded by Ditya Monga, Rati Organics was created with a clear purpose to bring back purity in personal care. Not one of the type which is proclaimed on flashy labels, but one which is found in patience, craftsmanship and a feeling of respect of nature. The brand takes a less rushed and more considered route in a market saturated with fast-fixes and formula-intensive approaches.

A Rose Water That Stays True to Its Roots

The newly introduced rose water is made through traditional Deg-Bhapka distillation technique which is one centuries old native to Kannauj. It is done using slow steam distillation of fresh roses so that the natural oils and therapeutic properties in them can flow through the water gently. No shortcuts. No artificial boosters. Just time, heat and skill by generation.

The outcome is a living rose water – soft is fragrance, soft to touch, and most relaxing. Made from 100% organic roses, Rati Organics Natural Rose Water is free from alcohol, synthetic fragrance, and preservatives. What you get in the bottle is just what nature had in mind. And even though it may be an ancient process, the usage is pleasingly modern.

This single product is a natural toner, having cleansed, a facial mist in the long days, a makeup setter to achieve a soft glow and even a quick hair refresher, when one needs it. It is easily adapted into actual ways of life, not ideal ones.

Why Rati Organics Came to Life

“At Rati Organics, we exist to revive the timeless secrets of Ayurveda,” says founder Ditya Monga. “Somewhere along the way, we stopped trusting what our roots already gave us. This brand is about reconnecting with that wisdom—without complicating it.”

The idea for Rati Organics came from a simple observation: people want cleaner products, but they also want them to work. They want tradition, but without feeling outdated. Rati Organics bridges that gap by combining ancient Ayurvedic practices with a clean, minimal, modern approach to personal care.

What Makes This Rose Water Different

Rati Organics Natural Rose Water stands out not because it claims miracles, but because it stays honest. Some of its defining features include:

• Authentic Deg-Bhapka Distillation: Preserves nearly 90% of the rose’s natural properties compared to fast industrial extraction methods.
• 100% Organic & Chemical-Free: It contains no alcohol, no added fragrance or preservatives and so it is suitable in your daily use and sensitive skin.
• Multi-Purpose Use: Replaces 3-4 products simultaneously toner, facial spray, makeup setter and hair setter- to help improve routines.
• Naturally Relaxing and Hydrating: Mollifies irritation, calms tired skin and offers natural oils without suffocating the pores.
• Sourced and Made in Kannauj: Made in Kannauj, the ancient capital of the Indian floral distillation.

Who It’s Made For

This rose water is for people who read ingredient lists. For those who care about what touches their skin. For skincare users who want something gentle yet effective, wellness lovers who trust Ayurveda, and everyday users who prefer one honest product over five complicated ones. It’s not designed for a niche audience. It’s designed for real people, real skin, and real routines.

From Kannauj to Homes Across India

Headquartered in Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh, Rati Organics is inspired by the heritage and the region is second to none. Kannauj, often known as the perfume capital of India, is a location where centuries old traditional distillation has been practiced. The brand is not merely sourcing ingredients by deciding to make it here, it helps sustain a living legacy.

As a Pan-India oriented corporation, Rati Organics intends to extend this tradition to the homes throughout the nation, with products that prove authentic, reliable and recognizable- but sophisticated.

What’s Next for Rati Organics

Natural Rose Water 100 ML is not the end of the launch. Rati Organics will broaden the offering with additional Ayurvedic personal care necessities, all crafted with the identical philosophy: tiny number of ingredients, conventional practices and impeccable purity.

With more consumers abandoning over-processed beauty products in exchange of mindful self-care, Rati Organics can position itself as one that is not a fad, but rather a re-creation of what has always worked.

About Rati Organics

Rati Organics is a personal care brand of Ayurvedics located in Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh. The brand is committed to restoring time-old Indian wellness methods by using clean, organic, and traditionally made products that suit modern life.

Alwar (Rajasthan) [India], December 18: Rajasthan has emerged as an important contributor to India’s expanding food manufacturing sector, and at the centre of this transformation is Qoot Food Limited. As the first food company in the state to earn the prestigious ZED Gold Certification under the MSME Sustainable ZED Scheme, Qoot represents a new benchmark in quality, compliance, and responsible food production. The company’s journey reflects how the right systems, standards, and manufacturing discipline can elevate both traditional Indian snacks and modern healthy formats for growing consumer demand in India and abroad.

A Manufacturing Philosophy Rooted in Quality and Responsibility

Qoot Food Limited has built its reputation on a clear principle: good food must balance taste, nutrition, safety, and consistency. Achieving ZED Gold Certification is a direct reflection of this philosophy. The certification assesses multiple dimensions of manufacturing excellence, including hygiene, sustainability practices, waste reduction, process control, and quality assurance. For a food company, these parameters are especially significant. They determine whether a product remains safe across batches, travels well across markets, and offers consumers the same experience every time.

At its manufacturing facility in Alwar, Qoot operates with documented processes that ensure each step of production, from raw material handling to final packaging, follows strict quality norms. The company’s compliance culture extends to globally recognised frameworks such as ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System and FDA registration. These layers of quality governance allow Qoot to confidently serve not only domestic markets but also export-focused partners looking for reliable manufacturing depth.

A Wide and Evolving Product Range Designed for Modern Consumers

Qoot’s manufacturing strength is evident in its diverse product portfolio, which blends bakery tradition with the rising preference for healthier, functional snacking. The company produces classic bakery cookies, a popular category in both mass and premium segments. Alongside these, Qoot has built specialised capabilities in healthy cookies, including gluten-free variants, sugar-free lines, and millet honey cookies crafted to align with modern nutritional habits.

Beyond cookies, Qoot has invested in the rapidly expanding category of healthy baked puffs. This includes high-protein millet puffs, low sodium chickpea puffs, multigrain puffs, and quinoa puffs, each formulated to offer healthier alternatives to conventional fried snacks. These products require precision-driven production methods where roasting profiles, moisture levels, and ingredient integrity must be managed with scientific accuracy. Qoot’s facility is equipped to maintain this level of consistency, ensuring that baked snacks remain crisp, nutritionally stable, and free from processing-related imbalances.

How ZED Gold Certification Shapes Everyday Manufacturing

The ZED Gold framework is not just an achievement but an operational guide that influences how Qoot runs its day-to-day manufacturing. It encourages disciplined sourcing, reduced wastage, improved energy efficiency, and data-backed decision-making on the factory floor. For food manufacturing, this leads to cleaner transitions between batches, better allergen handling, and more predictable shelf stability.

For products like gluten-free cookies or chickpea-based puffs, even a minor deviation in ingredient quality or moisture handling can impact texture, taste, and longevity. ZED-aligned processes reduce this risk by establishing clear parameters and continuous monitoring. As a result, Qoot can confidently serve brands that expect consistent results across large-scale orders and diverse product lines.

A Trusted Partner for Private Label and Contract Manufacturing

The rise of new snack brands in India has created high demand for manufacturing partners that can offer not just capacity but credibility. Qoot Food Limited has become a preferred choice for many retailers and D2C brands because its systems are built to support long-term scalability. Private-label clients rely on Qoot for controlled production, clean processing, and the ability to develop products across categories without compromising quality.

The company supports recipe development, packaging integration, and compliance management for its partners. This end-to-end approach allows brands to introduce new variants, enter modern trade, or expand into export markets without the operational burden of handling manufacturing themselves. Qoot’s experience with both established retailers and emerging startups has given the company a deep understanding of how product formulations must adapt to diverse consumer segments and retail channels.

Where Innovation Meets Traditional Strengths

Indian consumers increasingly expect snacks that combine familiar flavours with better nutritional profiles. This is where Qoot’s R&D capabilities play a meaningful role. Whether it is creating millet honey cookies, developing sugar-free formulations, or perfecting high-protein puffs, innovation within Qoot’s facility relies on scientific testing rather than trial-and-error methods. Shelf-life studies, sensory evaluation, and controlled production trials ensure that new products remain viable across real-world conditions.

At the same time, Qoot stays anchored to India’s culinary traditions, ensuring that products inspired by regional tastes retain their authenticity. This balance between tradition and innovation has allowed the company to build strong internal competencies that few manufacturing units in the region possess.

A Model for Sustainable and Compliant Food Manufacturing

Sustainability is an important part of the ZED Gold framework, and Qoot has embedded it into production planning, waste management, and energy use. The company monitors material utilisation closely to reduce losses during mixing, shaping, and baking. Efficient heat management in ovens and controlled airflow systems contribute to lower energy consumption per batch. Packaging selection is also managed responsibly to maintain product stability while minimising environmental impact whenever feasible.

Compliance remains a parallel priority. With ISO 22000 FSMS and FDA registration in place, Qoot ensures traceability from raw ingredients to finished goods. This builds trust among export-oriented clients that depend on consistent documentation, clean processing, and audit-ready systems.

A Growth Story That Reflects India’s Evolving Snack Market

India is now one of the world’s most dynamic markets for baked and healthy snacks. The shift toward multigrain cookies, millet-based products, and protein-rich puffs mirrors a deeper preference for foods that offer both enjoyment and nourishment. Qoot’s specialised capabilities position the company at the centre of this transformation.

Its production of gluten-free cookies, millet honey cookies, sugar-free options, and healthy baked puffs aligns directly with rising consumer expectations across urban markets, export destinations, and modern trade formats. The company’s combination of strong compliance, controlled processes, and product innovation has made it a benchmark for manufacturing excellence in Rajasthan and beyond.

Conclusion

Qoot Food Limited’s journey as Rajasthan’s first ZED Gold food manufacturing unit highlights what modern Indian food companies can achieve when quality systems guide operational decision-making. The company’s ability to produce a broad range of bakery cookies, healthy cookies, and nutrient-forward baked puffs reflects both technical capability and a clear understanding of market needs. As consumer demand continues to shift toward cleaner, healthier, and more reliable snack options, Qoot stands as an example of how disciplined manufacturing can support long-term industry growth. Its success story is not just about certifications or capacity but about building a manufacturing foundation that consistently delivers safe, thoughtful, and well-crafted products to the market.

New Delhi [India], December 16: Koffelo, a new-age Indian coffee brand focused on innovation and convenience, has announced the launch of NOC (Nitrogen Over Coffee) — India’s fastest cold brew shot that prepares café-level cold brew in just five seconds, eliminating the traditional 24-hour brewing process.

Cold brew coffee, known for its smooth taste, low acidity, and clean energy release, has been gaining popularity among Indian consumers. However, the long brewing time and need for equipment have limited its everyday adoption. With NOC, Koffelo aims to bridge this gap by offering a compact 20 ml, 2.4x concentrated cold brew shot that instantly transforms into smooth cold brew when mixed with water or milk.

Each NOC shot delivers 2.4 times more natural caffeine, contains only 15 calories, and offers low acidity, less bitterness, and no added sugar. The product is positioned as a cleaner alternative to energy drinks, providing sustained energy without crashes, jitters, or stomach discomfort.

Cold brew coffee is prepared through a slow cold-water extraction process that typically takes 8 to 24 hours, resulting in a smoother flavour profile and lower acidity compared to hot-brewed coffee. It has found favour among fitness-conscious consumers, working professionals, students, and wellness-focused millennials seeking stable energy throughout the day.

NOC uses nitrogen infusion, a technique commonly found in premium beverages, to enhance texture and freshness. When poured, the shot produces a distinctive hiss and cascading visual effect, creating a creamy mouthfeel without the use of chemicals or preservatives.

According to the company, NOC collapses the entire cold brew process into a simple shot-and-pour experience, requiring no machines, brewing knowledge, or waiting time. The product can be consumed with hot or cold water, milk, soda, tonic, or even used in smoothies and mocktails.

Speaking about the launch, Gaurav Varshney, Founder at Koffelo, said,

“Cold brew in India was either too slow or too inaccessible. With NOC, our goal was to take a premium café experience and make it part of everyday life. Coffee should move at your speed, not slow you down.”

NOC is made using carefully selected Brazilian and Ethiopian Arabica beans, slow-extracted for flavour and sealed to ensure freshness and consistency. The launch marks a first-mover entry into India’s emerging fast cold brew segment, combining convenience with premium coffee craftsmanship.

The product is part of Koffelo’s growing portfolio under Morning Brew Pvt. Ltd., which focuses on building a modern, convenience-led coffee ecosystem in India. Other offerings include Cold Brew Signature instant powder, Instant Speciality Coffee made from Indian Robusta, Extra Bold Coffee, and Coffee Strong blends.

With the introduction of NOC, Koffelo aims to redefine how Indian consumers experience cold brew, aligning premium coffee culture with fast-paced lifestyles.

New Delhi [India], December 16: In an age where the beauty industry is saturated with endless choices and confusing claims, IMMACULATE emerges as a brand rooted in clarity, science, and authenticity. Created with the belief that skincare should feel honest, accessible, and effective, IMMACULATE represents a thoughtful shift in how skincare is understood and experienced. The brand stands at the intersection of scientific precision and human connection, offering solutions that feel as trustworthy as they are transformative. Learn more about the brand at https://www.beimmaculate.co/

The Founders Behind IMMACULATE

IMMACULATE was founded by Richard D’souza, Sunil Hajare, and Trishya Hajare, three individuals united by a shared vision but shaped by distinct journeys. Richard D’souza brings years of self-driven study in cosmetology, guided by curiosity and a genuine desire to understand skin health at a deeper level. His approach is rooted in learning through observation, research, and passion rather than formal titles.

Sunil Hajare contributes a strategic marketing perspective with a strong focus on wellness and beauty. His commitment lies in making skincare transparent, approachable, and emotionally engaging for a wider audience. Trishya Hajare adds a creative and sustainability-driven lens, ensuring that every brand campaign reflects responsibility alongside efficacy. Together, they envisioned IMMACULATE as a bridge between scientific innovation and everyday skincare rituals.

 Why IMMACULATE Began

The origin of IMMACULATE lies in a simple realisation that skincare had become unnecessarily complex. Consumers were surrounded by technical jargon, exaggerated promises, and countless products that often created confusion instead of confidence. The founders recognised a growing gap between science and understanding, where people struggled to know what truly worked for their skin. IMMACULATE was created to restore simplicity, clarity, and trust, transforming skincare into an experience of confidence and care.

 Vision Rooted in Self-Care and Confidence

IMMACULATE envisions a world where skincare is not a luxury but a language of self-care. The brand seeks to empower individuals by making science relatable and beauty inclusive. Confidence, according to IMMACULATE, begins with understanding and consistency rather than excess.

 Mission Driven by Science and Responsibility

The mission of IMMACULATE is clear and purposeful. Every product is developed with research-backed formulations, tested for safety and efficacy, and designed to deliver visible results. Beyond products, the brand focuses on storytelling that educates and emotionally connects with diverse audiences. Sustainability is woven into every decision, from ethical ingredient sourcing to environmentally responsible packaging.

 About the IMMACULATE Product Line

IMMACULATE launches with a focused lineup of five serums, including Retinol, Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Alpha Arbutin, and Salicylic Acid. Each serum is carefully formulated to address specific skin concerns while maintaining safety and effectiveness. Beyond serums, the brand is expanding into cleansers, sunscreens, and moisturisers, building a complete skincare portfolio designed for everyday use.

Launch Offers and Community Experience

To celebrate the arrival of IMMACULATE, the brand is unveiling exclusive launch promotions designed to make the first experience memorable and rewarding. Customers can enjoy forty per cent off across the entire product range, making high-performance skincare accessible at an exceptional value. As a special gesture to early supporters, IMMACULATE is also offering exclusive free gifts, including curated beauty products for up to one year. Alongside these offers, early community members can expect surprise elements such as limited edition packaging and insider perks.

Getting started is simple. Interested customers can follow IMMACULATE on Instagram to stay connected, visit the official website through the link available in the Instagram bio, and complete the pre-signup form to unlock special launch offers and officially join the IMMACULATE journey.

 The IMMACULATE Difference

What sets IMMACULATE apart is its commitment to both science and soul. The brand believes skincare should be transformational, not just functional. Each product comes with clear ingredient explanations, educational content, and thoughtful storytelling that makes science easy to understand. Sustainability remains central with cruelty-free formulations, recyclable packaging, and ethical practices that respect the planet.

IMMACULATE is not merely launching skincare products. It is introducing a movement focused on clarity, confidence, and conscious beauty. As the founders often say, “We didn’t just want to create skincare. We wanted to create a language of care, one that speaks to science, soul and sustainability.” With IMMACULATE, every drop reflects intention, and every product marks a step toward confident living.

New Delhi [India], December 12: In an increasingly interconnected global economy, companies that can efficiently link producers and global buyers are essential. Rsrishti International Pvt. Ltd. aims to be such a bridge — helping Indian businesses, especially small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs), access international markets for their produce and goods.

Their central promise: to connect India’s agricultural abundance — fruits, vegetables, herbs, traditional natural ingredients — with demand in overseas markets.

Core Strengths: Quality, Supply-Chain Expertise & Global Reach

Rsrishti stands out for its emphasis on quality sourcing, rigorous supply-chain handling, logistics management, and compliance with global export standards. They highlight sourcing from certified organic farms or wild-crafted sources, avoiding pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and genetically modified inputs.

Moreover, their operations include processing facilities that adhere to high standards of safety and quality control. These capabilities indicate that Rsrishti is not just a trading intermediary but a trusted partner maintaining product integrity — especially important for perishable goods.

Rsrishti also claims global sourcing and export networks, importing products from countries like China, Turkey, Egypt, Vietnam, Greece and exporting to regions such as the UAE and Sri Lanka.

More Than Trade: Consultancy & Import-Export Education

Apart from trading operations, Rsrishti offers consultancy and training for new entrepreneurs entering the export-import industry. Their programs teach documentation, international marketing, government schemes, market research, and global business strategy.

Participants have credited their workshops — led by Dr. Nidhesh Sharma — for helping them understand the practical side of global trade and enabling them to expand their business internationally.

Emphasis on Sustainability, Organic & Traditional Ingredients

The company also highlights sourcing traditional herbal ingredients such as saffron, neem, red sandalwood, amla and many other natural products. These are obtained from organic or wildcrafted sources and processed under strict quality controls.

This focus positions Rsrishti well in the fast-growing global market for natural, herbal and wellness-oriented products.

Why Rsrishti Matters for Indian SMEs & Export Aspirants

• Bridging Access Gaps
  Small producers often lack the infrastructure or knowledge required for exports. Rsrishti attempts to provide ready-made solutions for these gaps.

• Reducing Risk for Sellers
  Export markets demand strict quality, documentation and compliance. By managing these aspects, Rsrishti helps reduce operational risks.

• Promoting Traditional / Organic Products
  Global demand for Indian natural and herbal products is rising. This offers strong potential for Rsrishti’s product categories.

• Empowering Entrepreneurs
  Their consultancy services enable first-time exporters to confidently enter global markets.

• Supporting Sustainable and Ethical Sourcing
  By focusing on organic and pesticide-free sources, Rsrishti aligns with global sustainability trends.

Challenges & What Clients Should Verify

Like any export-import partnership, due diligence is vital:
- Authenticity of organic certifications
- Verified track-record of exports or supply-chain operations
- Packaging, logistics and cold-chain capabilities
- Compliance with import-country regulations and documentation

Conclusion

Rsrishti International Pvt. Ltd. positions itself as a company that helps Indian agricultural and natural products reach global markets. With emphasis on sourcing quality, production safety standards, logistics management and business training — the company aims to support producers, entrepreneurs and MSMEs entering the export trade.

While its model shows strong promise, prospective partners should always verify documentation, certifications and trade history. If executed well, Rsrishti can serve as a crucial link between India’s agricultural and natural wealth and the global marketplace.

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India] : PM Publishers Pvt. Ltd. (PMP), a leading name in school education since 2009, has announced a collaboration with Google, to integrate Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, with the traditional textbook learning experience, transforming the act of learning into an interactive journey.

Launched for the upcoming 2026-27 academic year, PMP will integrate Google Gemini across 250+ book titles covering Computer Science, English, Hindi, Art & Craft, General Knowledge, and Foundation subjects — from Nursery to Class 10. This initiative is expected to reach over 2 million students across 2,000+ schools in its first phase. Designed for age-appropriate use, the tool empowers older students to learn independently, while serving as a digital companion for parents of younger children, helping them simplify concepts and foster curiosity at home.

Each PMP book will feature specific QR codes linked to a custom Gemini Gem. These are custom versions of Gemini that have been fine-tuned on the specific content of that textbook which will offer chapter summaries, interactive activities, and additional learning resources. This ensures that when a student asks a question, the AI tool provides an answer that is context-aware and grounded in the curriculum.

Rajesh Bajaj, Managing Director, PM Publishers Pvt. Ltd., said:

“Our goal is to make learning more engaging, interactive, and future-ready. With Google Gemini, we are giving students and teachers a powerful tool that amplifies curiosity, supports creativity, and promotes the responsible use of AI in education.”

Sanjay Jain, Head of Google for Education, India said:

“At Google, we believe AI should be a learning companion that sparks curiosity, rather than just a tool for retrieving answers. By integrating Gemini directly into PM Publishers’ curriculum, we hope to give students and parents a personal AI tutor that is grounded in the textbooks they trust and enhance the classroom experience.”

• Satya Dev Tiwari, MD & CEO at Voll Sante Functional Foods & Nutraceuticals Pvt. Ltd Every winter, millions of people in north and western India wake up to a thick grey blanket of smog. From November to February, the air often becomes dangerous to breathe. The Air

• Quality Index (AQI) regularly crosses 400–500 (anything above 300 is considered “severe”). Crop burning in Punjab and Haryana, millions of vehicles, factory smoke, and cold air that traps everything close to the ground turn the season of festivals and weddings into a silent health emergency.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 5: This isn’t just “fog” that makes your eyes water. It’s a direct attack on your lungs that can harm you as much as years of smoking, even if you’ve never touched a cigarette. A major 2023 study in The Lancet showed that lung cancer in Delhi’s non-smokers has shot up because of air pollution.

Here are the eight main ways this polluted air hurts your lungs and body:

1. Instant irritation: Within hours of breathing bad air, your throat and chest feel tight, you cough, and you wheeze. Harmful gases irritate the airways like chilli powder in your nose.

2. Tiny invisible particles (PM2.5) slip deep into the lungs and create “free radicals” - angry molecules that damage lung cells, almost like rust eating metal.

3. Over weeks, the airways get thick and scarred. Even non-smokers start coughing up phlegm every morning - an early sign of COPD (chronic lung disease).

4. The tiny air sacs that put oxygen into your blood start breaking, just like in heavy smokers. Many Delhi patients lose 15-20% of their lung power every year.

5. Lungs slowly turn stiff and fibrous, making every breath feel harder.

6. Cancer risk increases: Chemicals stuck to the pollution particles can change DNA and cause lung cancer. City residents are 2-3 times more likely to get it.

7. Your lungs’ natural cleaning system (tiny hair-like sweepers called cilia) stops working properly, so colds, coughs, and pneumonia become common and last longer.

8. The damage doesn’t stay in the lungs. Those tiny particles enter the blood and raise the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and in children, permanently smaller lungs.

This is happening right now to millions of us.

The good news? You can fight back from the inside.

Your lungs depend on a strong immune system, and the right food gives your body the tools it needs. Vitamins C and E, Zinc, Omega-3 fats, and good protein act like an internal shield - they calm inflammation, repair damage, and keep the lung cleaners working.

But in most Indian cities, getting enough of these nutrients is tough. Fast food, stress, lack of sleep, and expensive vegetables mean 7 out of 10 urban Indians are low on Vitamin C and Zinc. On top of that, pollution itself uses up these protective nutrients faster. It’s a losing battle unless you do something extra.

This is where smart, targeted nutrition supplements can help fill the gap.

One Indian company, Voll Sante, has created two products specially designed for people breathing polluted air:

Voll Pro Respi is a plant-based, protein-powered lung support formula designed to help people breathe easier in polluted and post-illness conditions. It contains NAC (a compound doctors use in hospitals to thin stubborn mucus), turmeric, ginger, bromelain, and quercetin.

Together, these ingredients help open the airways, reduce inflammation, and clear out trapped smoke and dust particles from the lungs. The protein component supports stronger respiratory muscles, which play a key role in better breathing capacity.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], December 4: Learning Samskrita has always been a meaningful pursuit, yet many learners feel intimidated when they encounter rigid methods, dense rules, or traditional explanations that rely heavily on memorization. Today’s learners, especially working professionals and students, need clarity and structure. They prefer an approach that is systematic, easy to follow, and rooted in understanding rather than rote learning. Vidyasvam bridges this need by bringing together the depth of traditional Samskrita grammar and a learning environment designed for modern minds.

At Vidyasvam, the focus is not only on preserving the classical richness of the language but also on making it accessible and enjoyable. The program invites learners to understand why the language works the way it does, how grammar holds everything together, and how classical texts can be approached with confidence. This blend of tradition and modernity forms the core of Vidyasvam’s teaching philosophy.

Understanding the Core: Traditional Grammar Principles

Paninian grammar is central to Vidyasvam’s teaching. It is recognized as one of the most structured linguistic systems and offers a clear framework for understanding Samskrita. Instead of learning scattered rules, students are introduced to the foundational concepts that shape the entire language. They learn how words get their structure from their canonical roots, how the forms of words that express entities and actions transform, and how meaning is conveyed through grammatical relationships. The course begins by strengthening the basics—varṇa, pratyaya, prakṛti, sandhi, kāraka theory, and word formation. These concepts help learners see the underlying structure behind every sentence. By explaining the logic behind each rule, the program removes the confusion that many learners experience when trying to decode Samskrita through memorization alone. This foundation becomes essential when students later begin reading verses and texts.

A Modern Classroom for an Ancient Language

Even though the content is deeply traditional, the learning experience is built with modern tools. Vidyasvam uses concise presentations, clear diagrams, mind maps, and structured worksheets and custom-built software tools to explain the grammar. These visuals help learners grasp ideas that would otherwise take much longer to understand through text alone. For online learners, recordings of each session are available. This helps them revise the material at their own pace, revisit complex concepts, and reinforce their understanding. Regular quizzes are used to strengthen retention and ensure that learners are applying the rules rather than simply listening to them.

Discussion circles and mentoring groups also play an important role. Students share questions, work through examples, and learn from each other’s interpretations. This collaborative environment creates a practical and supportive learning space that keeps learners engaged through the program.

Application Over Memorization

One of the strongest aspects of Vidyasvam’s approach is the emphasis on applying grammar to real texts. Instead of practicing rules in isolation, students work with verses, especially from epics like  Valmiki’s Ramayana and the Vyasa’s Mahabharata initially. Persistent learners may choose to progress to other classics offering aesthetic complexity — such as classics by Kalidasa, Bharavi and Harsha. This gives them hands-on experience in breaking down compound words, identifying kārakas, dissolving sandhis, and performing anvaya to understand the meaning of a shloka. This approach works especially well for learners from analytical, technical, or scientific backgrounds. They appreciate the logical flow and systematic breakdown that Paninian grammar offers. By applying grammar repeatedly in context, learners retain concepts naturally. This helps them develop the ability to work with classical texts independently, which is one of the primary goals of the course.

Designed for Modern Professionals and Students

Many learners at Vidyasvam are from fields like engineering, sciences, medicine, IT, management, and academia. They often want a structured path to understand Samskrita texts without relying fully on translations. The course format respects their time constraints while still maintaining depth. The prerequisites are simple: the ability to read Devanagari, comfort with analytical thinking, working knowledge of English, and basic computer literacy. The program moves at a pace that allows learners to absorb concepts steadily, even if they are balancing work and personal responsibilities.

The promise of independent reading is a major attraction. Learners understand from the beginning that this is not a casual course but one that gives them long-term skills. They progress from understanding basic forms to interpreting verses with confidence, supported by step-by-step guidance.

The Role of Expert Guidance

A central part of Vidyasvam’s teaching method is the clarity and experience of its facilitator, Dr. Sridhar Subbanna. His background in computer science, combined with deep study in Samskrita and Shastras, allows him to explain classical concepts with precision and simplicity. Students often mention how even complex sutras become understandable under his guidance.

His explanations use logic and structure, reflecting the natural design of the language. Learners appreciate the patience, clarity, and consistent support he provides throughout the course. This balance of expertise and approachability contributes greatly to the effectiveness of the program.

Structured Progression That Builds Confidence

The course is planned in a way that helps learners progress from the basics to text application without feeling overwhelmed. Each topic builds on the previous one, and practice exercises reinforce what has been taught. The workshop structure ensures that learners stay engaged while having enough time to internalize each concept.

As learners move through the modules, they begin to see how the pieces fit together. Shloka analysis becomes more intuitive, grammar rules start making sense, and the fear of Samskrita slowly fades. This methodical progression gives learners confidence to take up further studies or explore classical texts on their own.

Why This Blended Approach Works

Vidyasvam succeeds because it respects both tradition and the needs of today’s learners. The Paninian framework provides accuracy, depth, and intellectual strength, while modern teaching tools provide accessibility and clarity. Together, they create a balanced model that suits beginners, intermediate learners, and even those returning to Samskrita after many years. This approach helps learners move beyond rote learning and encourages genuine understanding. It becomes easier for them to appreciate the beauty of the language and the sophistication of its structure.

Conclusion

Vidyasvam’s approach to Samskrita shows how classical knowledge can be taught in a way that feels relevant and achievable today. By blending the rigor of traditional grammar with contemporary methods of instruction, the program offers a path that is both logical and inspiring. Learners who come with curiosity leave with clarity, confidence, and a strong foundation that supports further exploration of Samskrita and Indic knowledge texts.

Landmark Gathering at India International Centre Sees Former Cabinet Secretary, Senior Bureaucrats, and Tech Innovators Forge Consensus on Ethical AI for Mental Healthcare

New Delhi [India] : In a historic convergence of policy, technology, and compassion, the Global Summit on AI for Mental Health 2025, held at the India International Centre, culminated not just in dialogue, but in a decisive, action-oriented national mandate. The event, marked by the formidable presence of India’s most respected policy architects, served as the launchpad for a native, ‘India-first’ ecosystem designed to ensure Artificial Intelligence serves the unique mental health needs of Bharat.

The summit’s gravitas was defined by its Chief Guest, Shri Prabhat Kumar, IAS (Retd.), Former Cabinet Secretary and President of the IC Centre for Governance, who lent his monumental authority to the proceedings. In a symbolic moment, he led the dignitaries in dedicating the Bharat Responsible AI Framework to the nation, signalling a collective and unwavering commitment to a sovereign tech future.

The strategic vision and architectural backbone of this national initiative were steered by Shri Balvinder Kumar, IAS (Retd.), the driving force behind the summit. A former Secretary to the Government of India and a man with a decade-long commitment to an India-first tech ethos, Shri Kumar formally declared the UDAAN AI Mental Health Solutions Framework and the Bharat Responsible AI Forum. His leadership exemplified the ‘action bureaucrat’ spirit, translating vision into a tangible, governance-ready architecture. “This is not another talk shop,” he underscored. “This is about building executable frameworks that are rooted in our soil.”

The summit was notably attended by a ‘Who’s Who’ of the Indian governance ecosystem, including Shri Sunil Kumar Barnwal, IAS, CEO of the National Health Authority, Shri Deepak Bagla, Mission Director of Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog, Dr. Sudha Goel, Senior Consultant (Health), NITI Aayog, Dr. Prachi Sharda, WHO Mental Health Consultant, Ms. Ira Singhal, IAS, UPSC Topper 2014, Dr Rajesh Mishra, MD, NICSI and a host of other senior IAS officers, both serving and retired, creating a powerful tacit endorsement for the initiatives launched.

The execution and narrative force of the summit were powered by a dedicated leadership team. The strategic announcements for the Bharat Responsible AI Forum, the Emerging Technology Council, and the AI Mental Health Innovation Fellowships (AMHIF) were made by Shri Aman Bandvi, the summit’s co-convenor and a recognised futurist. Orchestrating the monumental gathering was Shri Yash Arya, Founder GlobalSpin Forum and a niche event leader for over two decades and an ethical AI advocate.

This collective effort was bolstered by a core organizing team including Ms. Sakshi Chhapolia, Dr. Sumit Dubey and Dr. Poonam Tyagi, Co-Founders of UDAAN AI, Ms. Bhavna Sharma, Partner at Ishaa Creations, Dr. Vijay Goel, Shri Debi Prasad and Ms. Deepshikha Kashyap from GlobalSpin Forum, and Dr. Sachin Goyal of UDAAN Skill Academy, whose seamless coordination was instrumental in translating a bold vision into a landmark reality.

A highlight of the summit was an inspirational address by Ms. Ira Singhal, IAS, whose powerful personal journey and advocacy for mental health and disability inclusion brought a profound human perspective to the technological discourse.

Key Outcomes and Institutional Milestones:

1. The Bharat Responsible AI Forum & Framework: A first-of-its-kind multi-stakeholder body, established with the IC Centre for Governance, dedicated to advocacy, governance, and policy for ethical AI, firmly embedded in Indian ethos.

2. The UDAAN AI Mental Health Solutions Framework: A comprehensive, practice-oriented framework for organisations, educational institutions, and healthcare providers to deploy AI solutions responsibly.

5. Industry Backing: Leading startups and corporates, including UDAAN AI, BharatGPT, HRAI, MindPeers, Lisners, Wysa, and TalktoAngel, became inaugural signatories to the charter, committing to its principles.

International Validation: Global Experts, Indian Solutions

The International Technical Session featured luminaries:

• Dr. Peter Phiri (UK): AVATAR VR-assisted therapy expert

• Dr. Laura Vowels (Switzerland/UK): Digital health and family therapy

• Dr. Stephanie Okolo (US Army): CBT in military mental health

• Dr. Hikari Takashina & Dr. Fumito Takahashi (Japan): Awarefy's AI-driven mental wellness research

Their unanimous observation: India's frameworks are more comprehensive than many Western equivalents—particularly UDAAN's emphasis on cultural adaptation, linguistic diversity, and community-centered care.

Dr. Phiri's Remark: "The UK's AI in health regulation is fragmented. India has the opportunity to leapfrog by building integrated, sector-specific frameworks from the start. UDAAN AI is that framework."

Outcome-Oriented: Beyond Talk, Toward Action

What distinguished this summit from routine conferences was its actionable outputs:

1. Frameworks Ready for Deployment: UDAAN AI and Bharat Responsible AI Charter aren't aspirational—they're implementation-ready with defined assessment criteria, certification processes, and institutional homes.

2. Institutional Commitments: The Centre of Excellence, Emerging Technology Council, and AMHIF Fellows program have dedicated budgets, timelines, and leadership teams.

3. Policy Pathways: NHA's interest in MHAIMM certification creates a clear government adoption route—not hypothetical but probable.

4. Ecosystem Activation: 30-40 startups registering for Phase 1 of the Centre of Excellence network means implementation begins immediately, not in a distant "Phase 2."

5. Research Pipeline: AMHIF's call for students generated enthusiastic response—fellowships will launch by Q1 2026, producing India's first cohort of AI-mental health governance experts.

Positioning The Summit as the Apex Platform

Several factors establish the Global Summit on AI for Mental Health 2025 as the definitive annual gathering on this theme in India:

1. Unmatched Convening Power: No other forum has assembled Former Cabinet Secretaries, serving IAS officers, NHA/NITI Aayog/WHO leadership, international experts, and startup founders under one roof for a full day of structured deliberation.

2. Concrete Deliverables: Unlike talk-shops, this summit launched frameworks, signed charters, announced fellowships, and constituted councils.

3. Government-Ecosystem Bridge: By positioning bureaucratic wisdom (Shri Balvinder Kumar), ethical advocacy (Yash Arya), and futurist execution (Aman Bandvi) as co-leaders, the summit achieved legitimacy across constituencies.

4. Bharat-Centric Discourse: In an era of imported frameworks, the summit's India-native, culturally rooted approach resonated—filling a vacuum in policy discourse.

5. Institutional Permanence: With IC Centre for Governance as anchor and annual plans declared, this becomes a recurring national dialogue, not a one-off event.

Corporate & Startup Ecosystem: From Spectators to Stakeholders

The summit succeeded in converting corporate and startup players from passive attendees to active governance partners.

Bank of Baroda (Presenting Partner): India's leading PSU bank's participation signals growing recognition that mental health impacts workforce productivity—and AI-driven Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) need quality standards.

CMR Green Technologies (Presenting Partner): Their involvement reflects the sustainability-mental health nexus—climate anxiety, eco-distress—emerging areas where AI can play a role.

Startup Signatories (WYSA, MindPeers, Lisners, TalktoAngel, UDAAN AI): By signing the Bharat Responsible AI Charter, these companies voluntarily submitted to ethical scrutiny—a maturity rare in startup ecosystems typically averse to regulation.

HR Association of India (represented by Dr. Vikas Vats): The Association's presentation on "Human Intelligence 3.0"—integrating AI, psychology, and ancient Indian cognitive science—demonstrated India's unique capacity to blend tradition with technology.

BharatGPT's Vision: Shri Taresh Verma's presentation positioned India as a global hub for multilingual, sovereign AI—aligning with the summit's Bharat-first ethos.

The Global Summit on AI for Mental Health 2025 has unequivocally positioned itself as the apex forum on the subject. It successfully moved beyond deliberation to deliver a consensus-driven action plan, setting a definitive course for a future where India’s technological advancement is synonymous with its ethical commitment to the mental well-being of its billion-strong population.

The organizers are also thankful to gifting partners, KIWI Kisan Window and Indian Nurserymen Association.

New Delhi [India], November 21: ChargeZone®, India’s largest EV charging company with over 13,500 charging points, today announced the launch of Project E-DHARA (Electrifying and Decarbonising Highways through Accelerated Renewable Adoption), a transformative initiative designed to transition its nationwide electric vehicle charging network to 100 per cent renewable energy. The project is being launched in 2025, beginning with the commissioning of the first renewable-powered charging hub in Dahej, Gujarat. This initiative marks a major milestone in ChargeZone’s mission to decarbonise India’s mobility infrastructure and create a sustainable highway ecosystem powered entirely by clean energy.

The project has been conceived to address one of the most critical challenges in the electric mobility sector: reliance on fossil-fuel-based electricity. Despite the rapid adoption of EVs, nearly 75 per cent of India’s current power generation still comes from coal and other conventional sources, which limits the environmental benefits of electric transportation. Project E-DHARA directly tackles this challenge by integrating solar power generation, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and next-generation high-speed charging hubs to ensure that both the vehicles and the energy used to power them are fully sustainable.

The first charging site under Project E-DHARA is being developed in Dahej, where ChargeZone will deploy a 1 megawatt (MW) solar plant coupled with a five 05 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery energy storage system. This hub has been designed to operate primarily off-grid, drawing from the conventional power grid only when necessary to maintain optimal energy security. The facility will serve as the operational prototype for a national rollout plan that aims to establish 100 renewable charging hubs along key national highways by next year.

Explaining the significance of this initiative, Kartikey Hariyani, Founder and CEO of ChargeZone, said, Project E-DHARA represents a pivotal moment in India’s clean energy journey. Electric vehicles have already transformed mobility by eliminating tailpipe emissions, but true decarbonization can only be achieved when the energy that powers them is entirely renewable. Through this initiative, ChargeZone is creating an integrated ecosystem that brings together solar generation, advanced battery storage and high-speed charging infrastructure to enable a 100 per cent clean-energy highway network. This is more than a technological shift; it is a national energy transition positioning India at the forefront of sustainable mobility. We remain committed to building infrastructure that is future-ready, resilient and aligned with the country’s long-term net-zero vision.

This initiative brings together solar power generation, battery energy storage and high-speed charging infrastructure into one unified renewable ecosystem that supports both passenger electric vehicles and BillionE Mobility electric freight trucks. By operationalising 100 renewable-powered charging hubs by next year, most of which will run entirely off grid, ChargeZone is setting a new benchmark for sustainable highway infrastructure while reinforcing its commitment to building a fully decarbonised EV ecosystem across India.

With this expansion, EarlyJobs aims to accelerate hiring speed and efficiency for companies while helping students and early-career professionals secure meaningful roles faster through its AI-driven recruitment technology.

Accelerating Hiring Through AI and Automation

Bangalore, India’s technology capital, has one of the country’s highest recruitment volumes – yet many companies still face delays in closing positions. EarlyJobs’ new franchise aims to solve this problem by leveraging its AI Skill Assessment Platform and Smart Recruiter Tools to deliver high-speed, high-accuracy recruitment.

Thrissur (Kerala) [India], November 15:  Thrissur Piles Clinic, a leading centre for advanced proctology care in Kerala, has announced the introduction of its state-of-the-art Laser Pilonidoplasty (LPP) for the treatment of pilonidal sinus. Led by renowned Proctologist Dr Raviram S, the clinic aims to deliver faster healing, reduced recurrence, and improved patient comfort using cutting-edge laser technology. He provides best treatment for pilonidal sinus in Thrissur

Pilonidal sinus is a chronic condition that typically affects the area between the buttocks, often causing pain, swelling, discharge, and recurrent infections. Many patients struggle with repeated flare-ups, difficulty sitting, and significant lifestyle disturbances. Traditional surgical methods often involve large incisions, extended downtime, and prolonged wound healing. Thrissur Piles Clinic now addresses these challenges with a modern, minimally invasive solution that prioritises precision and recovery.

Dr Raviram S, who has performed thousands of proctology procedures, highlights the importance of offering painless, effective, and scientifically backed treatments. “Pilonidal sinus is a troublesome disease that often returns if not treated appropriately. Our advanced laser procedure helps us seal the sinus tract with high accuracy, resulting in minimal tissue damage, quicker healing, and a far lower chance of recurrence,” he said.

Laser Pilonidoplasty: A Breakthrough in Pilonidal Sinus Care

Laser Pilonidoplasty (LPP) uses a powerful, targeted laser fiber inserted directly into the sinus tract. The laser energy destroys infected tissue, sterilises the tract, and promotes natural healing without the need for wide surgical cuts. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, bleeding is significantly reduced, and postoperative pain remains minimal.

The clinic explains that the procedure typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the sinus. Patients can undergo the treatment under local, regional, or general anaesthesia, based on their comfort and the surgeon’s recommendation. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours and resume normal activities within a few days.

Why Laser Treatment Is Transforming Pilonidal Sinus Management

Thrissur Piles Clinic emphasises several advantages of choosing laser over conventional surgery:

1. Minimal Pain and Trauma: The selective laser energy targets only diseased tissue, leaving surrounding healthy skin intact.
2. Smaller Incisions, Minimal Scars: Unlike wide excisions, laser techniques require only tiny entry points, resulting in negligible scarring.
3. Lower Risk of Infection: Laser energy effectively seals tissues, reducing bacterial contamination and accelerating wound healing.
4. Faster Return to Work: Most patients can resume normal life within a week, making it ideal for students, professionals, and individuals with active lifestyles.
5. Reduced Recurrence: When performed by an expert, laser treatment significantly lowers the chances of the pilonidal sinus returning.

Dr Raviram stresses the importance of personalised evaluation. “There is no one-size-fits-all approach in proctology. Some patients benefit most from laser, while others may require additional techniques like VAAFT, flap reconstruction, or Kshar Sutra therapy. At Thrissur Piles Clinic, every patient receives a customised treatment plan tailored to the severity and nature of their sinus.”

Complete Care From Diagnosis to Recovery

The clinic provides a comprehensive care pathway starting with a detailed assessment, imaging if needed, minimally invasive treatment, and structured postoperative follow-ups. Patients are provided with clear wound-care instructions, lifestyle modifications, and early warning signs to watch for. The team also encourages prompt review in case of redness, persistent pain, swelling, or discharge — ensuring that complications are addressed early.

Cost and Accessibility

The clinic clarifies that the cost of laser treatment varies based on the size and complexity of the sinus, anaesthesia type, and associated procedures. Patients are encouraged to book a direct consultation to understand the most suitable treatment plan and cost breakdown.

About Thrissur Piles Clinic

Thrissur Piles Clinic is one of Kerala’s leading centres dedicated to the treatment of piles, fissures, fistula, pilonidal sinus, and other anorectal disorders. With an experienced team led by Dr Raviram S, the clinic offers a combination of advanced techniques—including laser treatments, endoscopic procedures, flap surgeries, and Ayurvedic Kshar Sutra therapy—to ensure safe, effective, and long-lasting results. The clinic is well-known for its ethical practice, modern equipment, personalised approach, and high patient satisfaction.
