How AI Is Reshaping India's IT Jobs: 30% Less Hirings, Vanishing Mid-level Roles

HT Syndication — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 01:12:58 +0530

India, June 15 -- A study conducted by FindMyCollege, covering more than 1 lakh active IT jobs in the current market, finds the pay ladder starting at a median of ₹2.6 LPA (lakhs per annum), rising to ₹25 LPA for experienced roles. However, a new mid-career band gap has emerged. This segment has also been historically the largest in the Indian IT sector, making up nearly 57% of the IT hirings in the market. But, currently, its getting strangled due to artificial intelligence consolidating many roles. The mid-level SDE segment has witnessed a dip of 11 per cent in hirings in just 12 months.

For an Indian IT graduate stepping into the job market, it starts with ₹2.62 LPA on average. Cling on to it for a couple of years, basically three to five years, and the salary figure inflates to ₹9.5 LPA. Moreover, a decade into the IT sector, the salary explodes to more than double again to ₹25 LPA. However, this job trajectory demands constant upskilling along the way, steering you into more demanding IT roles.

Another surprising fact is that most Indian IT graduates won’t make it even to the upper half of any of these bands. Where an IT graduate will project surprisingly, a small skill set to make the job market actually pay them, and also the market decides this early. The gap between a BTech graduate getting a head start and the one stalling behind usually becomes pretty evident between year one and year five.

However, this set of rewarded skills has shifted drastically in the past twelve months. FindMyCollege has analysed 37,553 active IT job descriptions and compared these with 53,788 listings from the past year. The picture that emerged isn’t the one to make headlines. But still, the IT career path isn’t collapsing just yet. And also, it hasn’t exploded with AI jobs; it's getting quietly restructured.

But one thing is pretty clear: the middle of the ladder is thinning out. Skills like Python and JavaScript now pay more, even in the entry-level roles that demanded them dry up. Meanwhile, a new category is emerging, i.e., AI-native roles. And it's for real, however, currently minuscule for everything that contraction has taken away.

Pay trajectory by experience.

The salary progression is pretty straightforward; on average, ₹2.62 LPA becomes ₹25 LPA in a decade’s time. The doubling between intermediate years of 1-2 and 3-5 is the steepest in the salary ladder. And this steep climb is directly linked with the skills an IT professional builds during the first two years of their career. Within every band, the gap between the 25th and 75th percentile is wide, and this gap explodes exponentially at the senior levels. A median 6-10 year IT professional earns 18.8 lakhs, the 75th percentile earns ₹23.75 LPA, and the 90th percentile earns ₹30 LPA. The width of the band, not the median, is where careers get transitioned to.

Skills that decide pay at each band

The skill set that moves a fresher above the 2.62 LPA average isn’t something celestial. They are built on foundational knowledge of SQL, JavaScript, Python, Java, and HTML. Each of the postings whose median pay lies in the range of ₹3.5 to ₹4.5 lakhs, roughly a lakh above the baseline. The list will look very familiar to the one who has skimmed through the engineering syllabus. What separates the BTech graduates who clear this bar from those who do not is rarely what they have studied; it’s what they have built outside their course curriculum.

The next band is where the ladder bifurcates. Years three to five are the only experience step in the entire career where average pay doubles up and not for every BTech graduate. Spark, PySpark, Airflow, Jenkins and Scala all pay medians of ₹20 lakh in this band. Machine learning, Python and Django pay ₹15–16 lakh. Generic enterprise development sits below this. The pattern is hard to miss: data engineering and machine-learning stacks reward this band the most. However, classical web development pays meaningfully less. The company chosen for the stipend, reasons in a year less than the project, which lets a graduate touch one of the stacks by year three.

At the senior level, the skills that matter shift the salary gear shifts again. Architecture and microservices command medians of ₹25 lakhs. Other segments, like core banking and database management roles, sit at the same level. Java, a mid-career staple in the previous decade, now appears at the senior level, paying ₹25 lakh. However, this happens only in hiring that involves system design responsibilities additionally. By this point, the skill stack becomes layered and not flat. IT graduates who choose generalist roles in years 3 to 5 often find it very difficult to reach this level.

Findings from FindMyCollege: FindMyCollege.com is India's college search and discovery platform. It serves over five million student searches a year across thousands of institutions. The platform provides college information, cutoff data, and student-verified reviews.

What has changed in 12 months

The picture in the IT sector has totally changed. The skills the IT market rewarded twelve months ago were very different from what it rewards today. The active inventory has contracted across domains; total IT hirings fell from 53,788 in January-March 2024 to 37,553 in January-March 2026. This is a straight drop of 30.2%. However, this contaction hasn’t been uniform.

A small number of specific skills have visibly come into play from the employer’s side. ETL pipelines, engineering-management responsibilities and certain development-methodology tags are among the demanded skills. However, the signal is narrower than headlines about AI’s gigantic rise might suggest. Still, overtly AI-native skill tags remain a small share of IT postings. The real growth has been seen in cloud and data orchestration, not yet in LLMs (Large Language Models). The decline in certain IT domains is daunting. Python-based hirings fell by 32%. Also, JavaScript hirings fell by 54%, and C# fell by 52%. Oracle, the database that powered an entire generation of Indian IT, fell 71%. Adding to this, generic “software development” tags fell 68%. Reading these numbers alone, the traditional IT industry seems to be on its deathbed. Well, it's not. Pay attached to each of these skills rose by 20 to 35% across the same period. What has disappeared is the easy and basic entry-level IT roles. The role consolidations have happened for sure, but not for the skill itself. However, this consolidation is the clearest evidence of the data of AI quietly rewriting the IT job market.

How AI is reshaping IT hiring

Ideally, the headline of AI’s effect on the Indian IT sector shouldn’t be vast AI native job roles, but rather it should be a niche segment of fast-growing, consolidating roles. The much larger story sits in what AI is doing to the other 93% of the IT roles. The decline-with-rising-pay pattern in classical skills is one signature of that change. Three more findings sit in the data.

3 Major Job Hiring Signatures

The first is the simple fact of the overall contraction in the IT job market. India’s economy didn’t shrink between January-March 2024 and January-March 2026. However, this can’t be said for the Indian IT sector, as IT-specific demands dipped nearly one-third. This gap reflects productivity gains being absorbed by employers as fewer net hires per unit of output.

The second, which is the most underdiscussed, is the coverage of AI’s effect on jobs and the one with the sharpest implications is for college students. Fresher IT postings actually grew 25% YOY basis from 1334 to 1665. But the median fresher's salary fell 19% from 3.25 lakhs to 2.62 lakhs. At the same time, the share of IT postings with 10+ years of experience grew from 6.2% to 10.3%, a one-third increase. The 3 to 5 year job band, historically the largest in the IT sector, witnessed the sharpest fall. This band fell from 56.5% to 45.8%, a loss of eleven percentage points in one single year.

Employers are absorbing more juniors at lower pay for the mundane rote tasks that mid-level engineers used to do. This way, employers paid less and recruited fewer seniors. The classical IT career ladder- junior to mid-level to senior over a span of 8-10 years has been squeezed to middle.

The third signature is the new emergence of a category directly created by AI. Postings in the Data Analytics and AI bucket grew from 1,673 to 2,443 over the last one year. This is a straight 46% jump and the only IT category to witness growth at all. Within it, fresher hirings grew at 287%; however, the AI-native roles only took up 6.5% of the IT market, a slight increase from 3.1% of the previous year. So the finding is clear, AI is not yet large enough and a direct employment source to compensate for the broader contraction in IT roles. For every new AI-native role created in the past year, roughly 15% non-AI IT roles disappeared from the active inventory.

There are 2 narratives commonly attached to AI’s impact on IT jobs that are inherently wrong from the study’s findings. “AI is destroying IT jobs” This statement is contradicted by the rising pay attached to senior IT skills and the growing absolute count of fresher hires.

“AI is creating a new wave of IT jobs” This statement is contradicted by the fact that there is a net 30% contraction in total inventory and the slow absolute scale of the AI-native category.

Implications for students

The simple verdict is: The IT career still is desirable and rewarding. There is a tenfold increase in median pay over the decade, and the median salary reaches ₹18.75 LPA by the 6-10 year job period. These numbers themselves speak for the strongest professional trajectories actually available for an Indian graduate. However, this career path has turned more demanding over the last year. The comfortable middle band of roles (3-5 years) are slowly diminishing (a fall of 11% of the total share in a single year). So, the IT graduates who land in the upper half of each band will be the ones who specialise faster than the previous cohort. Transitioning into cloud and data engineering by 3-5 job years and architecture and machine learning by year 5 seems a viable career transition currently.

So, what should B.Tech. What do students currently do? One thing is clear from the study: the implication is operational and not abstract. The internship stipend in year three matters less than the stack it lets a graduate touch. A cloud native, data-led or AI-aligned employee by the second job year compounds in salary for the rest of the career. A generalist employee in year 2 will find it hard to recover and transition further in their career. The degrees which gets a student into tech roles like: B.Tech, BCA, MCA, B.Sc CS still matter, however. One thing students should learn is that skill stack matters more than the credential currently; the upskilling cycle is necessary more than ever now.

For families weighing the cost of an engineering education against the IT career outcome, the trajectory remains a sound bet. The question is no longer whether IT jobs pay well, because the median salary answers that very clearly. The question rather is which graduates will land in the upper half of the bands and actually transition into senior roles, navigating the hollow mid-level gap which has been created. The sheer acknowledgement of this fact even before the degree certificate is handed out can also help you learn the current know-how of the industry and help you unskill better. Happy Hustling!!

Methodology: Findings draw on 37,553 active IT job descriptions collected over a 20-day window in late January and early March 2026, compared against a 53,788-listing IT-focused baseline from January-March 2024. Salaries are medians of employer-disclosed bands. The analysis covers Software, Data and AI, Product Management and UX Design roles, and is degree-agnostic; the trajectory applies whether a graduate enters IT via BTech, BCA, MCA, B.Sc CS or any other undergraduate route. Non-IT engineering tracks (mechanical, civil, electrical, biotech) are out of scope.

Tiger Eye vs Pyrite Bracelet: Which Should You Buy?

HT Syndication — Wed, 20 May 2026 20:34:15 +0530

You've probably heard both called powerful wealth stones. But here's the thing — they work in completely different ways. One builds your confidence to act. The other attracts opportunities toward you. Understanding that difference changes everything about which one you should actually buy.

Most guides just list benefits without helping you decide. This one's different. We'll walk through what each stone does, who they're best for, and whether you even need both.

Understanding the Core Difference

Tiger Eye and Pyrite both target the Solar Plexus chakra, but that's where the similarity ends.

Tiger Eye is a golden-brown quartz with a shimmering band that catches light from every angle. What makes it special isn't the look — it's the energy tradition behind it. People wear Tiger Eye when they need courage in the moment. Before a job interview. Before a difficult conversation. Before a business decision. It's the stone for someone who's already in the game but needs to play it better.

Pyrite — that "Fool's Gold" mineral with the metallic sheen — works on a different timeline. Where Tiger Eye says "trust yourself right now," Pyrite says "attract what you deserve." It's used in manifestation work, worn during financial planning, placed in business spaces. It's the stone for someone building something from the ground up.

The key difference: Tiger Eye activates what's already inside you. Pyrite magnetizes what's outside toward you.

The Durability Reality

Both stones sit at Mohs hardness 6.5, which means they're durable enough for daily wear but not indestructible. Here's what matters practically.

Tiger Eye holds up better long-term. The stone resists fading and maintains its shimmer for years. Wear it through showers, workdays, light activity — it holds. Pyrite? It oxidizes slowly in humid air. Not immediately, but if you live near the coast or in a wet climate, you'll notice the luster dulling over a year or two.

Both bracelets use an elastic cord that eventually weakens. A quality bracelet lasts 2-3 years before the string gives out. This is true regardless of price point. The stone outlives the string every time.

For care: Keep both out of pools and saltwater. Cleaning with a soft cloth and warm water works for both. Store them dry. That's really it.

When to Choose Tiger Eye

Pick Tiger Eye if you're in a decision-making role. Managers, entrepreneurs, anyone who needs to lead others benefits from its clarity. People in competitive environments — sales, athletics, academics — report that Tiger Eye's confidence effect shows up fast.

You'd also choose Tiger Eye if you're dealing with self-doubt. Not everyone does, but plenty of people benefit from a daily reminder on their wrist that says "I can handle this."

Same applies if you're starting something new. New job, new business, new relationship. That's when Tiger Eye's courage energy feels most useful.

Real talk: If you live in a humid or coastal climate, Tiger Eye is the practical choice. It won't tarnish. That matters if you're buying something to wear regularly.

A quality Tiger Eye bracelet costs between ₹1,200 and ₹2,500. That's for genuine 8mm beads with good banding. Anything cheaper than ₹800 is probably low quality or fake. Anything over ₹5,000 is premium artisan work.

When to Choose Pyrite

Pyrite makes sense when you're in wealth-building mode. Side business launching. Career transition coming. Financial recovery happening. Pyrite sits with you through that process.

It's also the stone for negotiation and deal-making. Salespeople, business owners, anyone cutting contracts. The tradition around Pyrite suggests it strengthens your position in these moments.

You'd pick Pyrite if you feel stuck or stagnant. That might sound abstract, but the ritual of wearing Pyrite while you actually work on your goals often shifts something. Manifestation practices aren't passive — they're about combining intention with action.

Aesthetically, Pyrite's metallic gold look appeals to people who want something that catches light. It's striking on the wrist.

Cost is similar: ₹1,000 to ₹3,000 for genuine quality. Check for visible cubic structure in the stone. That's how you spot the real deal.

Real vs. Fake: How to Tell

This matters because you'll find cheap fakes everywhere.

Fake Tiger Eye looks uniform. Real Tiger Eye has that chatoyant shimmer — light bounces differently depending on the angle. If the banding looks perfect and flat, it's not genuine.

Fake Pyrite is usually just painted brass. Real Pyrite is heavy, dense, and cool to the touch. It has weight to it. If it feels hollow or too light, skip it.

Both real stones have natural imperfections. A crack here, slightly uneven color there. Uniform perfection means synthetic.

Buy from sellers who tell you where the stones come from. South Africa for Tiger Eye, Peru or Brazil for Pyrite. Sellers who can't answer that question probably don't know what they're selling.

Price sanity check: If a Tiger Eye bracelet costs under ₹600, quality is questionable. Genuine 8mm bracelets start around ₹1,000. Pyrite similar range: ₹800+ for authentic quality.

Should You Wear Both?

This is where it gets interesting. Tiger Eye + Pyrite together create a complete strategy. One builds your inner confidence. The other attracts opportunities. That's a powerful combination.

The wearing method matters if you care about traditional practices: Pyrite on your right wrist (the projective hand, where you send energy out), Tiger Eye on your left (the receptive hand, where you draw energy in). This balances action with insight.

Cost for both bracelets together runs ₹2,000 to ₹5,500 depending on quality. That's cheaper than buying one premium piece, and it covers more ground spiritually.

Most people who own both report that wearing them together shifts something. More opportunities show up. Better decisions get made. It might be placebo. Or it might be that the reminder system works better when you've activated both your confidence and your magnetism.

The Final Decision

Pick Tiger Eye if you need to trust yourself more. It's a daily confidence reminder. Pick Pyrite if you're in a growth phase and need the mindset shift to manifest abundance.

Buy both if you're serious about the practice. The combination addresses the full wealth-building cycle.

Start with whichever one speaks to you visually. That matters more than people admit. If you're drawn to Tiger Eye's warmth, that's the one to begin with. If Pyrite's metallic shimmer calls to you, go that direction.

When you're ready to invest in quality stones, explore Keeta luxury's Pyrite bracelet collection for certified, ethically-sourced minerals with clear sourcing documentation. Each piece is verified for authenticity and includes care guidance you'll actually use.

For Tiger Eye specifically, Keeta luxury's selection focuses on genuine South African stones with strong banding and lasting durability. The difference between low-quality and good-quality Tiger Eye shows up after a few months of wearing — the real stuff maintains its shimmer.

Either way, the real magic happens when you wear the bracelet intentionally. Set your goal when you put it on. Let it remind you throughout the day. That's where the transformation begins.

Technogym celebrates 40th anniversary of Design Icon, UNICA with ART Installation UNICA MENTE

ST Correspondent — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:22:06 +0530

Celebrating the icon that redefined home wellness

Milan, Italy, April 24 : Unica, on its 40th anniversary, has become a timeless icon that defined a new product category: home wellness. Over the years, it has found its place in the world’s most beautiful homes, supported elite athletes, and inspired millions to lead healthier, better lives through its commitment to quality and excellence.

This evolution is expressed through UNICA MENTE, where the product transcends function, occupying a place in culture. An art installation curated by Technogym with art direction by artist Felice Limosani, has been unveiled at Technogym Milano, during Milan Design Week (Salone Del Mobile) 2026.

Unica Mente - 21 to 26 April 2026 at Technogym Milano, Via Durini 1, 20122 Milan, Italy.

Conceived as a moment of cultural reflection, the installation explores the relationship between body, mind, and wellbeing - not as an idea, but as a lived, dynamic connection aligned with Technogym’s purpose of “healthy people, healthy planet.”

Blending real portraits with AI-generated reinterpretations, the work brings together forty personalities including athletes, artists, and cultural icons each deeply connected to a wellness lifestyle. Not mere testimonials, these contributors act as co-authors, offering voices and perspectives that form a collective atlas of meaning. The experience invites visitors into a space of immersion and introspection, prompting reflection on intention, discipline, and awareness.

Extending beyond the installation, each of the forty contributors has selected a school or institution to receive a Technogym Unica; transforming the project into a tangible expression of wellness as a shared, global responsibility.

From Local Presence to Nationwide Reach: A Brand’s Growth Story

ST Correspondent — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:05 +0530

Every brand has a beginning, and for Hashtag Eyewear, it started with a simple idea to offer good quality eyewear that people can trust and afford. What began as a local retail journey, including a growing demand for Sunglasses for men & sunglasses for women, slowly turned into something much bigger, shaped by years of experience and a deep understanding of customers.

In its early days, Hashtag Eyewear focused on serving people in its local market. Being close to customers helped the brand learn what people actually look for comfort, durability, and styles that suit everyday life. These learnings became the foundation of the brand.

Instead of rushing to grow, the focus was always on getting things right. Building trust, one customer at a time, played a big role in creating a strong base. Over time, this trust turned into loyalty, and the brand started gaining recognition beyond its immediate surroundings.

As the market began to change and more people started shopping online, Hashtag Eyewear saw an opportunity to grow. Moving into the digital space was a big step, but it opened doors to reach customers across different cities and regions. What was once a local brand slowly started becoming accessible to people all over India.

With this shift, the brand also evolved. It expanded its collection to match different lifestyles—whether someone needed something for daily wear, travel, or just to upgrade their style. The focus remained on creating products that are both functional and fashionable.

Even as the brand grew, one thing remained constant its focus on quality and value. The same attention to detail that helped build trust locally continued to guide the brand at a larger scale. This consistency made it easier for new customers to connect with the brand, just as the early customers did.

Another important part of this journey has been listening. Customer feedback, changing trends, and everyday usage patterns have all played a role in shaping the brand’s direction. Instead of following trends blindly, Hashtag Eyewear adapts them in a way that fits the needs of its audience.

Today, the brand is no longer limited to one place. It has grown into a name that reaches customers across the country, while still holding onto the values it started with. The journey from local to nationwide hasn’t just been about expansion it’s been about growing with people, understanding them better, and delivering what truly matters.

Looking ahead, Hashtag Eyewear continues to build on this journey, with the same goal it started with to make quality eyewear accessible to more people, without losing the trust it has earned along the way.

Cygnet.One Introduces STRATA to Redefine Managed IT Services for Always-On Enterprises

ST Correspondent — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 13:20:53 +0530

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.

Mumbai's Adsmagnify Enters Version 2.0 With AI Upgrades and Expanded Academy as It Targets Stronger Client Delivery in 2026

ST Correspondent — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 13:33:43 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 09 : Adsmagnify, a performance marketing agency and academy based in Churchgate, Mumbai, is undergoing a structural upgrade in 2026. The firm is renovating its office, integrating advanced AI capabilities into its agency operations, and expanding its training vertical, Adsmagnify Academy. The company is calling this its 2.0 phase.

The move signals a shift from organic growth to deliberate infrastructure building, as the agency positions itself for higher-volume client delivery and stronger talent production.

What Is Changing

Business partners Vinay Hankare and Aloke Bajpai are leading the transition. The two are upgrading the agency's internal AI systems to improve campaign execution, data analysis, and reporting across client accounts. The office renovation is part of a broader effort to build an environment aligned with that operational scale.

Adsmagnify Academy, the training arm of the business, is being expanded alongside the agency upgrade. The stated goal for 2026 is direct: deliver better results for existing clients, help more businesses grow revenue, and graduate capable performance marketers through the academy.

Track Record and Current Scale

Adsmagnify has been operating as a digital marketing agency since 2016. Over that period, it has managed more than ₹50 crore in total ad spend and claims $51 million in cumulative revenue generated for clients.

The agency currently works with 300-plus brands across travel, real estate, retail, and education. Documented results from its published case studies include a 17.16x ROAS for a travel brand on ₹1.3 lakh in Meta ad spend, a 400% sales surge for an apparel brand through Facebook Ads, and a 7x ROAS increase for a D2C brand over eight months. Average lead growth for B2B and SaaS clients is reported at 127%.

The Academy: A Focused Bet on Performance Marketing Talent

Adsmagnify Academy occupies a specific position in Mumbai's marketing education space. It is currently the only academy in Mumbai that focuses exclusively on performance marketing, as distinct from broader digital marketing courses that cover platforms superficially across multiple disciplines.

The curriculum covers Meta Ads, Google Ads, SEO, and campaign strategy at a practitioner level. More notably, the academy offers internships that place students inside the agency itself. Graduates leave with hands-on experience running real client campaigns, not just platform certifications or theoretical knowledge. That distinction matters in a job market where employers increasingly separate candidates who have managed actual ad spend from those who have only completed coursework.

The internship model also gives Adsmagnify a structured pipeline of trained talent, which addresses one of the more persistent operational challenges for growing agencies.

The Market It Is Operating In

Mumbai is India's most competitive market for digital marketing services. The city hosts hundreds of agencies ranging from boutique performance shops to large integrated networks. Demand from SMEs, D2C brands, and real estate developers for measurable, ROI-linked marketing has grown sharply since 2021, accelerated by deeper paid media adoption across categories.

As a performance marketing agency in Mumbai, Adsmagnify competes on case-study-backed results rather than brand scale or agency size. Its dual model, combining a client-serving agency with a practitioner training academy, is a structure that several mid-size Indian agencies are beginning to explore, though few have formalized both under one brand with the depth of specialization Adsmagnify is building toward.

What This Signals

The 2.0 upgrade reflects a pattern emerging across mid-market Indian digital agencies. As ad platform complexity increases and AI tools become table stakes, agencies that build proprietary systems and internal talent pipelines are likely to separate from those running on manual processes and generalist teams.

For Adsmagnify, combining AI-enhanced delivery, a renovated operational base, and a performance-only academy with real internship exposure is a bet on consistency and depth rather than episodic client wins. The academy creates a secondary revenue stream while simultaneously solving the talent problem from within.

Whether the AI integration translates into measurable improvements in client outcomes, and whether the academy model scales beyond Mumbai, remains to be demonstrated. The results Adsmagnify produces through 2026 will be the real test of the 2.0 thesis.

Indian Law Has a New Kind of Problem. Amit Thukral Has Been Solving It for 25 Years

ST Correspondent — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 11:35:46 +0530

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.

This Startup Is Bringing Havan Benefits Into Everyday Life

ST Correspondent — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 12:45:54 +0530

New Delhi [India], April 02: Every home today experiences some sort of stress whether it is work, family or a busy mind. In the past, spiritual practices were used to maintain balance, but now most people forget about them due to lack of time. People are seeking ways to easily feel calm again.

To fill this gap a new idea called Gandhavaran is getting attention. It is a modern and traditional solution. Gandhavaran is a special incense (dhoop) which is made from the ingredients which are normally used in the havan rituals. The idea is simple; to bring the benefits of havan into everyday life in a small and easy way.

What is Gandhavaran?

Gandhavarana is a carefully made spiritual incense using herbs, resins and sacred woods from havan rituals. The ingredients are selected and mixed based on the astrological calculations so that the incense is able to activate the positive benefits of planets and constellations in the person's life.

The makers say that Gandhavarana can be used in the place of a full havan at home or work. While performing a full havan might not be possible in the day to day schedule, lighting Gandhavarana is believed to maintain a positive and pure environment.

The concept makes a lot of use of Indian astrology. Different positions of the planets, doshas (imbalances) and yogas (combinations) are thought to have an effect on the lives of the people. Gandhavarana products are thus tailored keeping in mind various astrological conditions.

Types of Available Gandhavarana

The product range is made to cover many aspects of life, but especially those associated with astrology and spiritual health.

1. For Planetary Doshas

Gandhavarana comes in versions for problems such as Guru Chandal Dosha, Kaal Sarp Dosha, Ketu Dosha, Angarak Dosha and Grahan Dosha. These are viewed as causes of trouble and rituals or havans are often used to remedy these.

2. For Negative Energies And Obstacles

Some versions can help evacuate negative influences, for example, Nazar Dosha (evil eye), Vastu Dosha (building imbalance), and other disturbances, for example, PishachBadha.

3. For the Activation of Positive Yogas

Other products help in strengthening good astrological combinations like Gajakesari Yoga, Lakshmi Vishnu Yoga and Panch Mahapurush Yogas like Malavya, Hansa and Ruchak Yoga.

4. For Specific Goals

Some kinds are done for practical purposes, such as business expansion (Vyapar Vriddhi) and overall prosperity using Navgraha blends.

In addition, products are tailored for all 12 zodiac signs, plus 27 nakshatras so that every person can get a more personal blend depending on their birth chart.

Gandhavaranaendeavors to keep spiritual practice simple and in the same spirit. A full havan requires time, special materials and strict rituals that is something many people cannot keep up with. Gandhavarana has the same energy and benefits in a daily ritual which merely requires lighting a piece of incense.

Users are encouraged to use it in homes, पूoja rooms, offices or shops to maintain a calm and positive aura.

Another important thing among the makers is purity. In Indian spiritual practices a lot of importance is given to the quality and holiness of the material used in a ritual. Gandhavarana is prepared from the natural ingredients, which follows the classical rule of sattvik (pure) preparation.

From sourcing of raw materials to the final packaging, the entire process adheres to religious and cultural values, thereby the product can be used spiritually.

Women empowerment and social impact

Beyond spirituality, Gandhavarana is also a strong social message. The product is made by underprivileged sanatani women of Bihar from low-income families.

Women are the poorest segment of society in Bihar, specially in semi urban and urban area , they have to depend on there men folk for everything, this social enterprise gives them an opportunity to earn while staying at home.

The area of operation is Danapur having a population of 300 Gir cows for easy avaiabilty of Cow dung and a big hanuman temple , the temple provides flowers offered t hanuman ji.

By getting these women involved in the manufacturing, the program provides them with a constant income and a way that they can help to provide for their families. It also develops women entrepreneurship from the grassroots level.

In a country where rural women have a limited number of job options, such projects help them to become financially independent and dignified. They also keep the traditional knowledge alive by the work done in the community.

With the increasing awareness about mental health and need for peaceful living spaces, products like Gandhavarana are in sync with people in cities and suburbs.

While some people only view it as a spiritual or astrological tool, others find it an appreciation for creating a calm home…

The smell, in conjunction with the simple act of lighting incense, often brings peace and mindfulness.

ST Correspondent — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 13:36:16 +0530

Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], March 30 : Galgotias University successfully organised its 10th Convocation Ceremony, bringing together distinguished dignitaries, eminent guests, faculty members, parents, and graduating students in a celebration of academic achievement and future aspirations.

The ceremony was graced by Padma Shri Dr. A. S. Kiran Kumar, former Chairman of ISRO, as the Chief Guest. Other notable dignitaries included Padma Shri Uma Shankar Pandey, renowned social activist and water conservationist; Dr. R. G. Agarwal, Chairman Emeritus, Dhanuka Agritech Limited; along with special guests Shri Nagendra Goyal, Joint Commissioner, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, Government of India, and Mr. Vinit Goenka, Secretary, Centre for Knowledge Sovereignty.

The convocation celebrated the academic achievements of 6,656 graduates across diverse disciplines. Degrees were conferred upon 73 Ph.D. scholars, 3,953 undergraduate students, 2,250 postgraduate students, 199 diploma holders, and 181 students from integrated programs, marking a significant milestone in their academic journey.

Addressing the graduating students, Chief Guest Dr. A. S. Kiran Kumar emphasised the importance of continuous learning in a rapidly evolving technological world. He noted that while students graduate today, the process of learning must remain lifelong. Highlighting the rapid pace of technological advancement, he urged students to stay adaptable, curious, and future-ready. He also cautioned against the growing influence of smartphones, noting that technology is increasingly shaping human behaviour, and advised students to remain aware and in control of their digital lives.

In his convocation address, the Chancellor congratulated the graduating students and reflected on the university’s journey of excellence and global recognition. He emphasised that challenges are inevitable in life but play a crucial role in shaping character and resilience. Drawing an analogy with strong trees that withstand storms and grow back stronger, he encouraged students to remain steady during difficult times and emerge stronger. He further underscored that hardships are integral to success, reiterating the timeless principle that without struggle, there is no achievement, and urged students to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.

Dr. R. G. Agarwal highlighted the importance of discipline in personal and professional life, stating that consistent effort, structured thinking, and self-regulation are key to long-term success.

Padma Shri Uma Shankar Pandey delivered a thought-provoking message on water conservation, pointing out the paradox of modern society where there is limited knowledge on saving water but a vast market built around selling it. He called for greater awareness, responsibility, and sustainable practices among the younger generation.

The university also highlighted its strong placement performance for the current academic year.

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], March 24 : The rules of digital discovery are being rewritten. While Google remains dominant, a growing number of users now ask AI platforms like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity AI for direct recommendations—bypassing traditional search results entirely. For brands without a strategy for this shift, it means losing customers they will never know about.

ViralBulls, recognised as one of the best SEO companies in Noida and a leading SEO agency in Noida, is among the first digital marketing agencies in India to address this shift head-on. With extensive experience working across diverse B2B and B2C industries, the agency has built a strong foundation in delivering performance-driven digital strategies. It is now actively pioneering Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) alongside its proven expertise in SEO, web design, and performance marketing.

Marketing Must Evolve: Why GEO is the New Growth Engine

“The way people search has fundamentally changed,” says Manish Chawla, Founder of ViralBulls. “Users are no longer just browsing search engines—they’re asking AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini for direct answers. If your brand isn’t showing up in those responses, you’re missing out on where real decisions are being made.”

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is becoming critical as it shifts focus from rankings to recommendations—ensuring brands are surfaced, cited, and trusted by AI engines. ViralBulls is actively adapting to this change by helping clients build AI-friendly content, strengthen topical authority, and structure their digital presence for better visibility across AI platforms—driving not just traffic, but measurable, result-driven business outcomes.

SEO, Website Design, and the Full Digital Stack

ViralBulls’ core strength lies in building SEO-driven ecosystems rather than treating marketing channels in isolation. As a comprehensive digital marketing agency in Noida, the focus is on creating strong organic visibility through strategic keyword targeting, technical SEO, content authority, and AI-led GEO practices. Every element—from website architecture and content strategy to performance campaigns and social media—is aligned to support search visibility and long-term discoverability.

The agency is also recognised as a leading website designing company in Noida, building custom, conversion-focused websites that are SEO-first by design. Across industries like real estate, healthcare, edtech, fintech, SaaS, D2C, and manufacturing, ViralBulls ensures that websites are not just visually strong but fully optimised to rank, attract high-intent traffic, and drive consistent organic growth.

Why Brands Choose ViralBulls — And Stay

ViralBulls has built a strong and consistent client portfolio by focusing on transparency, strategic clarity, and long-term business impact. The agency offers end-to-end marketing solutions, including logo and brand design, social media marketing, website designing, performance marketing, SEO, emerging GEO strategies, and podcast production—ensuring every aspect of a brand’s digital presence works together in a unified and results-driven manner.

The focus remains on delivering measurable outcomes by building systems that drive consistent performance over time. By integrating multiple services into a cohesive strategy, ViralBulls ensures that clients achieve scalable, sustainable growth while staying aligned with evolving digital trends and platforms.

The Road Ahead

Speaking about the road ahead, Manish Chawla says, “Our focus is not just on growth—it is on staying ahead of how growth itself is evolving. As AI reshapes search, websites, and user behaviour, brands need to adapt faster than ever. The traditional playbook of SEO and digital marketing is already being rewritten.

At ViralBulls, we are not just adapting—we are actively driving this shift across AI search, SEO, and digital experiences. From building visibility on AI platforms to creating high-performance websites and data-led strategies, our approach is designed for what is next.

Our vision is simple: to help brands stay visible, relevant, and ahead in an AI-first world. Because in this new landscape, evolution is not optional—it is survival.”

As the demand for reliable SEO services in Noida and results-driven digital marketing services in Noida continues to grow, agencies like ViralBulls are setting a new benchmark for what businesses should expect from their growth partners. Whether it is search engine optimization from a credible SEO agency in Noida, conversion-focused work from a capable website designing company in Noida, or a full-stack strategy built around measurable outcomes—the agency’s track record suggests that the market is taking notice.

Hipmunk Returns to Simplify the Flight Booking Experience

ST Correspondent — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 20:02:45 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 13 : Travelers are always looking for faster, smarter, and easier ways to book flights, which is why the online travel industry keeps changing. Travelers can once again use Hipmunk to help them find flights quickly and easily. Hipmunk is known for its unique search features and easy-to-use interface. Its goal is to help users find the best flights without the hassle that comes with traditional booking sites.

Hipmunk's reopening means that there will be more work to make it easier for people to search for, compare, and book airline tickets. The platform wants to change the way people book flights by using smart search technology and a design that is easy to use.

Hipmunk Official Website - https://www.hipmunk.co.in/

The Comeback of Hipmunk in Online Travel

When Hipmunk first came out, it quickly became a favorite among travelers who wanted an easier way to look at different flight options. Hipmunk was different from other booking sites that only showed prices. It came up with a smarter way to show results.

Hipmunk is back, and the platform is expected to bring back its unique way of doing things while also adding new features. As the travel industry gets more competitive, users are paying more attention to platforms that are easy to use and clear.

The fact that Hipmunk is back shows that people still want tools that help them book smarter.

Smarter Flight Search Technology

Hipmunk's smart flight search system was one of the best things about it that made it popular. The platform didn't show users hundreds of flight listings; instead, it focused on showing the most useful ones first.

The search system takes into account a number of things, such as:

Ticket price
Total travel time
Number of layovers
Departure and arrival schedules
Airline quality

Hipmunk helps travelers find the best flights by looking at these factors all at once to find the best balance between cost and ease of use.

This method lets people quickly find the right flights without having to spend hours comparing different travel websites.

A Clean and User-Friendly Interface

Travelers today want booking sites to be easy to use and look good. Hipmunk has always had a clean layout and easy-to-use navigation.

The redesigned platform focuses on providing:

Faster search results
A clutter-free interface
Simple filtering options
Easy flight comparisons
Mobile-friendly browsing

These changes make it easier and more fun to book a flight. Travelers can quickly find the best flight options by sorting the results based on what they want.

A simple interface also makes it less frustrating for many users to deal with complicated booking systems.

Compare Flights from Multiple Airlines

One of the hardest things for travelers to do when booking flights is to compare prices on different airlines and travel websites. The price of tickets can be very different depending on where you buy them.

Hipmunk solves this problem by letting people compare flights. It gets flight information from different airlines and travel agencies and shows the results all in one place.

This allows travelers to:

Compare airline ticket prices easily
Discover cheaper travel options
Explore alternative routes
Save money on airfare

Hipmunk helps travelers make smart choices before booking their flights by giving them a full comparison system.

Saving Time and Money for Travelers

Planning a trip can take a long time, especially when you're looking for cheap flights. A lot of people spend hours going from one website to another to compare ticket prices.

Hipmunk makes this easier by putting all the important flight information in one place. Users can quickly narrow down their choices and pick the best flight thanks to its advanced filters and organized search results.

This saves time and helps travelers get better deals. Having a reliable flight search tool can make a big difference for anyone who is planning a vacation, a business trip, or a last-minute trip.

Standing Out in a Competitive Market

There are a lot of well-known websites where you can book flights online. Hipmunk, on the other hand, stands out because it focuses on being easy to use and having smart search features.

The platform doesn't just show you long lists of flights; it also shows you the ones that will give you the best overall travel experience. This new method helps travelers find flights that are more convenient faster.

Platforms like Hipmunk could get a new group of users as travelers put more and more value on efficiency and openness.

The Future of Flight Booking with Hipmunk

The return of Hipmunk is a big step forward for the online travel industry. The platform's goal is to make booking flights easier for travelers all over the world by focusing on smart search tools, price comparisons, and a simple interface.

The need for better booking tools will keep growing as more people use digital platforms to plan their trips. Hipmunk's return to the market could make it easier and less stressful for travelers to find cheap flights.

Hipmunk's return is a promising solution for anyone who wants to search for and compare flights more quickly. It makes booking travel easier again.

The Architect of Angelic Intelligence

ST Correspondent — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 16:24:31 +0530

With 70+ patents, a $4.5 trillion market in his sights, and 2 billion social media views, Shekhar Natarajan is staking his claim as the defining voice on trustworthy AI — and challenging Silicon Valley's entire governance playbook.

New Delhi [India], February 25 : Through Orchestro.AI, Shekhar Natarajan has risen to become one of the leading voices in the Agentic AI market. This release showcases his journey to date and the challenges he aims to address.

On the morning of February 20, at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, a hall filled with global policymakers, technology executives, and international media fell silent as Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, posed a challenge that cut through years of regulatory noise: "The entire world is debating how to govern AI after the fact. That debate is already lost."

The audience gave him a standing ovation. It was not the first time, and it is unlikely to be the last.

Natarajan's arrival at the summit of global AI discourse is the culmination of a 25-year executive career inside some of the world's most demanding corporate environments — Walmart, The Walt Disney Company, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Target, and American Eagle Outfitters — and a founding conviction that AI's ethics problem cannot be patched. It must be engineered from the ground up.

A Career Built on Scale

Before Natarajan became a philosophical voice on artificial intelligence, he was one of the most operationally consequential figures in American retail logistics. At Walmart, serving as SVP of Last Mile and Emerging Sciences, he drove two transformations simultaneously. The first was commercial: growing the grocery business from $30 million to $5 billion, a 166-fold expansion that required building supply chain architecture at a scale where decisions affected millions of consumers daily. The second was structural: pioneering the use of crowdsourced delivery through partnerships with Uber, Lyft, and Deliv — introducing gig-economy fulfillment to mass-market retail before the concept had a name.

At American Eagle Outfitters, Natarajan took on a larger and more complex mandate as EVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer. His defining contribution there was the construction of an open-source distributed fulfillment model — a frenemy network that enlisted competitors and partners alike as nodes in a shared logistics infrastructure. The approach challenged the orthodoxy of proprietary supply chain control, arguing instead that collaborative, transparent networks could outperform closed systems on both cost and resilience. It was a philosophy that would later find its way, in updated form, into the architecture of Angelic Intelligence itself.

Educated at Georgia Tech, MIT, Harvard Business School, and IESE, Natarajan built across both technical depth and strategic breadth across his corporate tenure. He accumulated more than 70 patents across supply chain innovation, distributed intelligence, and logistics architecture — a body of intellectual property that reflects not just operational expertise, but a systematic approach to converting insight into protected frameworks.

The Founding Thesis

In August 2023, Natarajan founded Orchestro.AI with a proposition that inverts the conventional AI governance debate. Where regulators and ethicists argue for constraints applied to AI systems after their construction, Natarajan's framework — which he terms Angelic Intelligence — argues that virtue must be native to the computational architecture itself. Ethics, in his formulation, is not a compliance layer. It is the substrate.

Angelic positions itself as the world's first Trust Layer for AI: a virtue-native proxy that sits between an enterprise and any large language model, making AI not merely safer but — in Natarajan's formulation — wiser. The product rests on four technical pillars: a Wisdom Engine that curates training data against human wisdom rather than internet noise; the MACI Framework (Multi-Architecture Consequential Intelligence), in which multiple AI agents debate each decision to produce deterministic, consistent reasoning; a configurable Virtue Stack that adapts context-aware intelligence across healthcare, logistics, finance, and education; and a Human Centric Scoring and Explainability layer that measures every decision against human benefit and renders its reasoning transparent.

At the operational core of the system are 27 Digital Angels — specialized AI agents, each embodying a cross-cultural virtue drawn from Sanskrit philosophical traditions, collaborating in real time on ethical decision-making. The framework protects its innovations across 43 filed patents, covering virtue-native reasoning through to human benefit measurement.

The Problem He Is Solving

Natarajan's commercial case rests on a diagnosis of what he calls the fatal flaws in current AI models. His presentation to investors and policymakers identifies six structural failures in the prevailing generation of AI systems: training data contamination, where the absence of epistemic filtration allows misinformation to shape model behavior; validation-seeking optimization, where models are tuned for engagement rather than guidance; rigid, one-size-fits-all architecture unsuited to context-specific demands of hospitals, banks, and legal institutions; reasoning inconsistency that undermines trust in high-stakes decisions; cosmetic safety guardrails that independent testing has found to have a 97 percent jailbreak failure rate; and centralized control that concentrates influence over AI outputs in the hands of individual executives or governments.

The market opportunity Natarajan is addressing is substantial. His company identifies a total addressable market of $4.5 trillion, with a serviceable addressable market of $520 billion and an initial market position projected at $12–18 billion. His framing — that Angelic is the inevitable trustworthy AI layer every enterprise will require — is positioning the company directly in the path of regulatory tailwinds. The EU AI Act's full enforcement begins in August 2026, with penalties reaching EUR 35 million or 7 percent of global revenue. Gartner projects that 50 percent of governments worldwide will enforce responsible AI regulations by 2026.

Traction and Market Proof

The public reception to Natarajan's thesis has been remarkable in its velocity. His content campaign around Angelic Intelligence has reached 2 billion social media views across platforms. On Instagram, the content generated 299 million views, 91.5 million in reach, and 532,000 interactions. Facebook delivered 364 million views and 108 million unique viewers. On X, the hashtag #AngelicIntelligence trended at number three in technology globally and number two in India. His LinkedIn reach of 30.5 million impressions accompanied a 91 percent follower growth rate.

These figures are not merely promotional metrics. They represent market validation of a thesis that established AI governance institutions have been slow to articulate with equivalent clarity or commercial urgency. Natarajan has moved faster in public discourse than most regulatory bodies have moved in policy — a dynamic he acknowledges deliberately: the governance debate will catch up to his architecture, not the reverse.

The Philosophical Architecture

What distinguishes Natarajan from the large field of AI ethics commentators is the specificity of his technical claim. He is not arguing for behavioral guidelines or industry self-regulation. He is arguing that virtue, as a computational property, can be operationalized and protected through intellectual property. His 43 filed patents are the legal architecture of that argument.

The 27 Digital Angels framework draws explicitly on Sanskrit concepts of virtue — frameworks for understanding consciousness, ethics, and the relationship between capability and character that predate modern computing by millennia. Natarajan's synthesis applies these philosophical traditions to a technological context they were never designed to address. The result is an approach that has resonated across cultures that have experienced optimization-first AI as extractive rather than beneficial.

His deployment targets reflect the commercial maturity of this vision. Home robotics, enterprise AI customization, workforce scheduling, content moderation, and mental health applications each represent contexts where the absence of trustworthy AI has produced documented failures. In each domain, his architecture offers the same proposition: configurable virtues, transparent reasoning chains, and decisions scored against human benefit rather than engagement or efficiency.

Global Stage

Natarajan is preparing appearances at the World Economic Forum in Davos and the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, two venues where the intersection of capital, policy, and technological direction is most concentrated. His presence at both reflects a positioning strategy that places Angelic Intelligence not as a niche enterprise software product, but as a civilizational proposition: that the next generation of AI must be built to serve human dignity as a first-order computational requirement, not a secondary compliance obligation.

Market validation is arriving from multiple directions simultaneously. Humans&, a new AI company founded by Anthropic, xAI, and Google alumni, raised $480 million in seed funding at a $4.48 billion valuation in January 2026 — a signal that the market for virtue-aligned AI infrastructure has moved from philosophical to investable. The Kapor Foundation's $500 million HumanityAI Initiative, Gartner's regulatory timeline projections, and Dario Amodei's "The Adolescence of Technology" essay have each, in different registers, provided independent validation of the framework Natarajan has been building.

Whether Orchestro.AI becomes the infrastructure layer for trustworthy enterprise AI or not, Natarajan has already accomplished something significant: he has made the case, with technical specificity and commercial credibility, that the AI industry's governance problem is not a policy problem. It is an engineering problem. And he has filed the patents to prove it.

Shekhar Natarajan is the Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI and the architect of Angelic Intelligence. He holds 70+ patents and has held senior executive roles including SVP of Last Mile and Emerging Sciences at Walmart and EVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer at American Eagle Outfitters. He is a speaker at the World Economic Forum and the Future Investment Initiative.

Inside Vidyasvam’s Structured Approach to Learning Samskrita

ST Correspondent — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 20:27:30 +0530

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.

Inside the Metrics: Breaking Down 800 Million Views Across Platforms

ST Correspondent — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 20:06:37 +0530

A data-driven analysis revealing patterns that challenge everything we thought we knew about viral content

New Delhi [India], February 18 : Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, explains what views and engagements actually mean in this opinion piece.

The headline number—800 million views—is impressive but imprecise. Views mean different things on different platforms. Engagement quality varies wildly. A three-second scroll-past on TikTok and a ten-minute YouTube deep-dive both count as 'views,' though they represent fundamentally different forms of attention.

A detailed analysis of the engagement patterns tells a more nuanced—and in many ways more remarkable—story about how Angelic Intelligence actually spread and what the spread reveals about public appetite for substantive AI discourse.

Platform breakdown reveals unexpected distributions that defy typical patterns for both philosophical content and viral phenomena. LinkedIn contributed approximately 180 million impressions despite its smaller user base relative to consumer platforms—a concentration suggesting highly targeted professional interest. The engagement came disproportionately from senior executives, supply chain professionals, and enterprise technology leaders, demographics that rarely drive viral metrics.

❝ The numbers told us something the algorithms couldn't: people weren't just watching. They were studying. ❞

YouTube's 220 million views came with average watch times exceeding 8 minutes for long-form content—extraordinary for philosophical material on a platform where average watch time for educational content hovers around 3 minutes. More significantly, the completion rates for videos over 20 minutes exceeded those for videos under 5 minutes, inverting the typical pattern where shorter content performs better.

"The data made no sense by our standard models. Longer videos performing better than shorter ones? Philosophical content outperforming entertainment? We ran quality checks three times because the numbers looked like errors. They weren't." — a data analyst at a digital media company who has studied the phenomenon

Twitter/X's 150 million impressions showed engagement rates 7x the platform average for similar content categories. But more telling was the nature of engagement: quote tweets exceeded replies by a factor of four, indicating users weren't just responding to the content—they were adding their own commentary and broadcasting to their own networks. The framework became a vessel for personal expression.

Geographic distribution contradicts typical viral patterns. North America and Western Europe, usually dominant in tech content consumption, represented only 35% of total engagement. South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America contributed the majority—regions that rarely lead global technology discourse but that have experienced AI's impacts most directly.

"The engagement heat map looked nothing like typical tech content. It didn't cluster around San Francisco and New York and London. It spread from places where AI optimization had already changed daily life—where people understood viscerally what the current approach costs." — a social listening analyst at a major research firm

❝ Viral content dies. Movements grow. The metrics couldn't tell the difference until they could. ❞

Temporal patterns proved equally unusual and equally revealing. Most viral content follows predictable decay curves: rapid rise during initial spread, brief plateau as the audience saturates, exponential decline as attention moves to newer content. The half-life of viral content has shortened dramatically over the past decade; what once sustained attention for weeks now fades within days.

Angelic Intelligence showed sustained growth over 18 months, with recent months showing acceleration rather than decay. The six-month period ending in January 2026 saw 10x growth compared to the preceding six months. The curve resembles adoption patterns for products or social movements rather than engagement patterns for content.

Engagement quality metrics—saves, shares, comments, and time spent—consistently outperformed view counts by industry benchmarks. The ratio of saves to views was 4x the platform average, indicating users wanted to return to the content rather than simply consume it once. The ratio of shares to views was 7x average, indicating active propagation rather than passive consumption.

"Every quality metric overperformed the quantity metrics. That almost never happens. Usually viral content is thin—high views, low engagement. This was the opposite. The views were just the beginning of the engagement." — a social media executive who has analyzed the data

The demographic data challenges assumptions about who cares about AI ethics and who engages with technology philosophy. Engagement was highest among 35-54 age demographics—not the young early adopters who typically drive tech discourse. Women represented 47% of engaged audiences despite AI ethics content typically skewing heavily male. Non-technical professionals showed stronger engagement than technical professionals. These are the people whose mortgage applications are decided by algorithms they'll never see, whose resumes are filtered by AI before human eyes review them, whose insurance premiums are calculated by models trained on data they never consented to share.

❝ 800 million views wasn't a number. It was 800 million people deciding the future of AI mattered to them. ❞

The metrics validate something quantitative analysis rarely captures: depth of resonance. Numbers measure attention. They don't measure meaning. But when attention behaves in ways that contradict every model—when people watch longer content more completely, when they save and share at unusual rates, when the audience composition defies expectations—the numbers are pointing toward something the algorithms can't see.

"We've built entire industries around predicting viral content. We thought we understood the mechanics. This case taught us we were measuring the wrong things. The question isn't what captures attention. It's what captures conviction." — a data scientist who has studied online movements

The data makes one thing clear: Angelic Intelligence didn't just capture attention. It captured something deeper—something the metrics can indicate but not define.

From Secunderabad to Silicon Valley - The Man Building AI with Love

ST Correspondent — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 20:06:36 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 18: From studying under streetlights in Secunderabad to becoming the CEO of Orchestro AI, Shekhar Natarajan’s life story has inspiring, to say the least. His trajectory has been a rare blend of corporate mastery and purpose-driven reinvention, starting with his journey in America with $34 in his pocket.

He had grown up in South Central India, in a one-room house in Secunderabad where his family lived without electricity. He studied under street lights because there was no other way to read at night. His mother bound newspapers to earn a few rupees; when he needed money for education, she pawned her wedding ring for 30 rupees.

That sacrifice — a mother's wedding ring traded for a son's future — shaped everything that followed.

"Real wealth is not money," Natarajan says. "Real wealth is wisdom. My mother understood that. She gave up her most precious possession so I could learn. That's not optimization — that's love."

The Corporate Ascent

From those beginnings, Natarajan built one of the most remarkable careers in American business. He earned degrees from Georgia Tech, MIT, Harvard Business School, and IESE. He spent 25 years in Fortune 500 leadership at companies including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Walmart, Target, Disney, and American Eagle.

At Walmart, he grew the grocery business from $30 million to $5 billion. He pioneered crowdsourced delivery systems that transformed how products reach consumers. At Disney, he helped create the MagicBand experience that millions of visitors now take for granted. Along the way, he accumulated over 207 patents.

He was, by any measure, a master optimizer — someone who understood how to squeeze efficiency from complex systems, how to make supply chains faster and cheaper, how to scale operations across continents.

And then he looked at what optimization had wrought.

The Reckoning

"I spent decades making systems more efficient," Natarajan reflects. "Faster. Cheaper. More scalable. And I was good at it. But efficiency without ethics is just sophisticated cruelty."

He saw delivery workers pushed to dangerous speeds by algorithms he could have designed. He saw loan collection systems that automated harassment with techniques he could have invented. He saw welfare systems that deleted hungry children from databases with the same dispassion they'd delete duplicate records.

The skills he had spent a lifetime developing were being used to harm people. Not by villains — by systems. By algorithms optimizing for metrics that didn't include human dignity.

"The people building these systems aren't evil," he says. "They're optimizing for the metrics they're given. The problem is that the metrics don't include compassion. They don't include dignity. They don't include the child asking her mother for rice."

The Morning Practice

Every morning at 4 AM, Natarajan practices classical Indian painting.

It is both artistic expression and problem-solving methodology. The discipline of the brush, the patience of the stroke, the attention to detail — these are not separate from his work on AI. They are preparation for it.

"Building technology with love, not speed, over thousand-year timeframes" — this is how he describes his philosophy. It sounds impractical until you realize what the alternative has produced.

Move fast and break things. Santoshi Kumari was broken.

Disrupt everything. Bhupendra Vishwakarma's family was disrupted.

Scale at all costs. The cost was paid by gig workers dying on the roads.

"We've tried building technology fast," Natarajan says. "Now let's try building it right."

The Wedding Ring

Natarajan still thinks about his mother's wedding ring.

"She didn't optimize," he says. "She sacrificed. She gave up something precious so something more precious could grow. That's what love does. That's what the best technology should do — not extract value, but create space for human flourishing."

Angelic Intelligence is, in some ways, an attempt to encode that mother's love into computational systems. To build AI that asks, before every action: Does this help people flourish? Does this create space for dignity? Does this honor the sacrifice of those who came before?

It's an audacious project. It may be an impossible one.

But someone has to try.

"I came from nothing," Natarajan says. "I studied under street lights. I know what it means to be invisible to systems. And I know that the child asking for rice in Jharkhand is not a deletion error. She's a human being. If our technology can't see that, our technology is broken."

He pauses.

"My mother pawned her wedding ring so I could have a future. I'm trying to build AI that honors that sacrifice — AI that sees every human being as worthy of that kind of love."

Guilty Until Proven Innocent - Facial Recognition's False Accusations

ST Correspondent — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 19:15:51 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 15 : Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, explains how the misuse of facial recognition software impacts narratives in this opinion piece.

Umar Khalid has spent more than five years in prison. His trial has not yet meaningfully begun.

He was arrested in September 2020 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act — India's harshest anti-terror law — accused of conspiring to incite the communal violence that swept parts of Delhi in February 2020. The riots left 53 people dead, most of them Muslims, and took place amid massive protests against a controversial citizenship law.

The evidence against him? Speeches he gave at peaceful protests. WhatsApp group chats. And facial recognition matches that placed him — or someone who looked like him — at various locations.

On January 5, 2026, India's Supreme Court denied Khalid bail, ruling that he played a "central and formative role" in the alleged conspiracy. Five other accused in the same case were granted bail, having spent years in jail without trial. But Khalid and fellow activist Sharjeel Imam were told they could reapply after one year.

One more year. After five already served.

"We can be kept in jail for years, without those framing us needing to prove anything," Khalid wrote from Tihar Jail on completing two years of detention. "This is the power of UAPA."

The 2% Problem

The technology that helped identify Khalid and hundreds of others has a documented accuracy problem that should disqualify it from any serious evidentiary role.

In 2018, Delhi Police testified to the Delhi High Court that their facial recognition system had an accuracy rate of just 2% when trying to trace missing children. The system was so poor that officials admitted it often couldn't distinguish between boys and girls.

Two percent.

Yet this same technology was deployed aggressively after the 2020 riots. Union Home Minister Amit Shah told Parliament that 1,922 perpetrators — comprising 73.3% of those arrested — had been identified through facial recognition technology.

The results have been devastating for the accused — and embarrassing for the prosecution. More than 80% of riot cases heard so far have resulted in acquittals or discharges. The facial recognition matches that seemed so definitive have crumbled under scrutiny. Witnesses have turned hostile. Evidence has fallen apart.

But the years in jail cannot be given back.

The Investigation

An investigation by The Wire and the Pulitzer Center found that many riot accused were arrested "solely on the basis of facial recognition," without solid corroborating evidence or credible public witness accounts.

Mohammad Shahid: Spent 17 months in jail before formal charges were even filed.

Ali: Arrested in March 2020, still in pre-trial detention more than four and a half years later. Arrested "solely on the basis of facial recognition."

Gulfisha Fatima, Meeran Haider, Shifa-Ur-Rehman, and others: Activists who spent years in jail, finally granted bail in January 2026 by the Supreme Court after the lower courts repeatedly denied them.

The pattern of arrests reveals something beyond technology failure. Of the 18 activists charged under anti-terrorism laws in connection with the riots, 16 were Muslim. The police framed peaceful protests against a discriminatory citizenship law as a "larger conspiracy" to incite violence.

Meanwhile, video evidence exists of police forcing five injured Muslim men to sing the national anthem while they lay bleeding on the ground. One of them, Faizan, 23, died two days later. No prosecution has resulted.

Kapil Mishra, the BJP leader recorded making speeches that many believe incited the violence, is now an elected official serving as a cabinet minister.

The Surveillance State

India has spent Rs 9.6 billion on facial recognition technology. The National Automated Facial Recognition System (NAFRS) is being built for nationwide deployment — a system that will be able to identify any face captured on any camera across the country.

No privacy impact assessment was conducted before the Delhi Police deployed their system. No audit of accuracy. No oversight mechanism.

"If you are a Dalit woman in India," says Vidushi Marda of Article 19, "the nature and extent to which you are under surveillance are far more than an upper-caste Hindu man. There is a disproportionate impact on communities that have been historically marginalized."

The Internet Freedom Foundation has called for a three-year moratorium on biometric facial recognition systems. Research has consistently shown that such systems perform worse on darker-skinned faces, on women, and on minority populations — precisely the groups most likely to be subjected to surveillance.

Criminal databases in India disproportionately include Muslims, Dalits, and Indigenous people — the legacy of colonial-era "criminal tribes" designations and ongoing discriminatory policing. When facial recognition systems are trained on these databases, they inherit and amplify those biases.

"Policing has always been casteist in India," says Nikita Sonavane of the Criminal Justice and Police Accountability Project. "And data has been used to entrench caste-based hierarchies. Any new AI-based predictive policing system will likely only perpetuate the legacies of caste discrimination."

The Legal Trap

The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act has become the weapon of choice for silencing dissent. Under UAPA, the normal presumption of innocence is effectively reversed. Courts are required only to see whether allegations appear "prima facie true" — not whether they are proven beyond doubt.

Bail becomes extraordinarily difficult. Accused can be held in pre-trial detention almost indefinitely. The process itself becomes the punishment.

The Financial Action Task Force noted in 2024 that delays in UAPA prosecutions are "resulting in a high number of pending cases and accused persons in judicial custody waiting for cases to be tried and concluded."

UAPA's conviction rate is just 2.2%, according to National Crime Records Bureau data. The vast majority of those arrested are eventually acquitted — but often only after years in prison.

In the Delhi riots case, the prosecution's "larger conspiracy" theory has faced consistent criticism. Defense lawyers argue there is no direct evidence linking the accused to acts of violence, no recovery of weapons, and much of the case rests on hearsay, selective witness accounts, and interpretation of speeches and chats.

"Chakka jams and other forms of non-violent agitation are part of India's democratic lexicon," Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal argued before the Supreme Court. They "cannot be elevated to UAPA-level offences merely because they make authorities uncomfortable."

The Architecture of Presumption

Shekhar Natarajan sees facial recognition as deployed in India as "the architecture of presumed guilt."

"The system begins with a match and works backward," he explains. "It does not ask: What was this person doing? Were they a participant or a bystander? Were they there at all, or did the algorithm make an error? It cannot ask these questions. It only sees faces — and it sees them imperfectly."

In Angelic Intelligence, the architecture would force different questions:

An agent embodying nyaya (justice) would require corroborating evidence before any action with life-altering consequences. A facial match alone — especially from a system with documented 2% accuracy — would never be sufficient.

An agent embodying satya (truth) would flag the technology's known limitations. It would require disclosure of accuracy rates, training data biases, and error margins. It would not allow a 2% accurate system to present itself as definitive.

An agent embodying sahana (patience) would demand pause before irreversible actions. Arrest, detention, the destruction of a person's life and reputation — these require certainty that current systems cannot provide.

And an agent embodying sama (equanimity) would check for disparate impact. It would ask: Are certain communities being targeted more than others? Is the system's deployment fair across populations?

The current system has no sahana. It has only efficiency, measured in arrests made, cases filed, conspiracy theories constructed.

Umar Khalid remains in jail. The algorithm made matches. The courts found the matches sufficient for continued detention. But the algorithm cannot be cross-examined. The algorithm cannot be held accountable. The algorithm cannot give back five years of a young man's life.

What 800 Million People See in Virtue-Based AI (That Silicon Valley Missed)

ST Correspondent — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 16:26:26 +0530

New Delhi [India] : Shekhar Natarajan, Founder and CEO of Orchestro.AI, explains the impact of AI that could change narratives in this opinion piece.

The question isn't why Angelic Intelligence went viral. The question is why nothing else did—and what that absence reveals about the gap between how the AI industry talks about its work and how the public actually experiences it.

For a decade, the AI discourse has been dominated by two narratives. The utopian version: AI will solve climate change, cure diseases, extend human capability beyond current imagination. The dystopian version: AI will destroy jobs, concentrate power, potentially threaten human existence itself. Both narratives are dramatic. Both are extensively funded. Neither proved particularly shareable.

The utopian narrative accumulated approximately 50 million combined views across major platforms over the past five years. The dystopian narrative, driven by high-profile figures warning about existential risk, managed roughly 120 million. Angelic Intelligence—unfunded, grassroots, starting from zero—reached 800 million in eighteen months.

❝ People weren't scared of AI being too powerful. They were scared of AI being too soulless. ❞

The disparity suggests the dominant narratives were answering questions the public wasn't asking. The promise of future benefits didn't address present anxiety. The warnings about catastrophic risk didn't provide agency or alternatives. Both positioned the public as spectators to a drama they couldn't influence.

Angelic Intelligence offered something different: a constructive alternative. Not warnings about what might go wrong, but a framework for what could go right. Not limitations on capability, but redirection of purpose. Not fear, but possibility.

"Every other AI philosophy positioned the public as potential victims or potential beneficiaries—passive either way. This one positioned them as participants in a choice about what kind of AI we build. That's psychologically completely different. It's the difference between watching a storm and choosing which direction to walk." — a cognitive psychologist specializing in technology adoption, speaking on background

The psychological appeal is rooted in fundamental human needs. When confronted with inevitable change, people prefer agency to helplessness. They prefer construction to destruction. They prefer hope that requires participation over optimism that requires only waiting. The dominant AI narratives offered acceptance or resistance. Angelic Intelligence offered participation.

❝ Silicon Valley's AI needed guardrails because it was designed to run wild. We designed ours to run wise. ❞

The framework's terminology proved unexpectedly powerful in driving resonance. 'Angels' evoked protection rather than threat—a stark contrast to the language of 'superintelligence' and 'existential risk' that dominates safety discourse. 'Virtue-native' suggested inherent goodness rather than imposed constraint. 'Digital conscience' implied AI that could be trusted, not merely tolerated or controlled.

Linguists who study technology adoption note that framing shapes acceptance. Systems described in threatening terms provoke resistance. Systems described in protective terms invite engagement. The linguistic choices in Angelic Intelligence weren't accidental—they emerged from deep consideration of how ideas spread and why.

"The language is doing real work here. When you call something an 'angel,' you're invoking thousands of years of cultural meaning around protection, guidance, and benevolent power. When you call something a 'superintelligence,' you're invoking science fiction about threats. Same capability, completely different emotional response." — a computational linguist who has studied the framework's spread

The resonance was particularly strong among demographics usually absent from AI conversations. Parents concerned about their children's digital futures found in the framework a vision of technology that might protect rather than exploit—relevant when 96% of apps marketed to children contain manipulative design patterns, when AI-generated CSAM has increased 400% in two years, when deepfake pornography targeting teenage girls has become a crisis in schools across America and Europe. Workers whose jobs algorithms had already transformed heard in it an acknowledgment of their experience and a promise of something better. Communities whose data had been extracted without visible benefit saw in it recognition that they deserved to be served, not merely processed.

These aren't the audiences that attend AI conferences or read technical papers. They don't follow AI researchers on Twitter or understand the nuances of transformer architectures. But they are the audiences who will ultimately determine AI's social license to operate—and their embrace of Angelic Intelligence suggests they've been waiting for someone to speak to their actual concerns.

"We thought the public didn't care about AI ethics. We were wrong. They cared deeply. They just needed something they could believe in—not a warning, not a promise, but a vision they could participate in building." — a technology ethicist who has studied public attitudes toward AI

❝ 800 million people found what they were looking for: proof that technology could be built with love. ❞

The question Silicon Valley must now answer is whether this represents a market opportunity to be captured or an existential challenge to fundamental assumptions about what AI should be. The response so far has been muted—public acknowledgment is rare, though private discussion is reportedly intense. The numbers are too large to ignore, but the implications may be too threatening to accept.

"The existential question isn't whether AI will destroy humanity. It's whether the AI we're building serves humanity. Eight hundred million people just told us they're not sure the current version does. That's a harder problem than technical safety." — a senior researcher at one of the major AI labs, speaking anonymously

The resonance continues to grow. As AI capabilities advance and public awareness deepens, the appetite for alternative frameworks intensifies. Angelic Intelligence arrived at the right moment with the right message. Whether the industry adapts or resists will shape what comes next.

They Had Islands. He Had a Street Light.

ST Correspondent — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 12:26:46 +0530

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

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

THE INVENTORY OF PRIVILEGE

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE INVENTORY OF NOTHING

Now take inventory of what Shekhar Natarajan had.

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

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

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

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

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

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

WHY “NOTHING” BUILT BETTER AI

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

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

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

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

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

VIRTUE-NATIVE: WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS

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

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

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

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

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

THE SOUND BITES

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE VERDICT

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

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

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

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

They had islands.

He had a street light.

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

The Global Family Office Model: Soumik Bandyopadhyay Lessons for Emerging Economies

ST Correspondent — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 21:47:52 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 8: 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.

Secure Move – Professional Packing & Moving Service in Delhi NCR You Can Trust

ST Correspondent — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 18:05:17 +0530

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.

Vicky Malik Launches Blokista Education Academy to Tackle Business Knowledge Gaps in Startups

ST Correspondent — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 16:43:16 +0530

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.

It’s Not Just Metro Cities - Laundry Businesses Are Witnessing Impressive Growth in Urban Towns as Well

ST Correspondent — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 22:19:00 +0530

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 30: The Indian laundry and dry-cleaning industry is experiencing a gradual yet powerful transformation at the same time. Even though metro cities have always been the center of attention in discussions about organized laundry services, a new growth story is now taking place in Tier-II and Tier-III urban towns. The demand for professional laundry solutions is rising due to factors like higher disposable incomes, new lifestyles, and more awareness of hygiene—all these factors push the demand for laundry services beyond the big cities.

Organised laundry brands are now quickly coming in to wash the clothes of the people living in the urban towns—previously, these towns were relying on traditional washermen or informal setups. These towns are experiencing a change in consumer expectations, where the main factors are convenience, fabric care, and timely service, in addition to affordability. With the increase in the number of working professionals, nuclear families, students, and small businesses, the demand for dependable laundry services has also grown significantly.

As per the estimates of the industry, the organized laundry market in India is likely to witness a growth of more than 20% CAGR in the next few years, with non-metro areas playing a crucial role in this growth phase. Urbanization, time constraints in taking care of household chores, and the exposure to global service standards through digital platforms are some of the factors driving the adoption of organized laundries in smaller cities.

Urban towns are becoming laundry hotspots due to their unique scenario

The laundry shops can set up business in urban towns because there are several advantages associated with these locations. The land and operational costs are not as high as in the bigger cities; the competition is still quite limited, and customer loyalty is quite often a powerful factor in the long run by providing quality service over and over again. Besides, B2B demand is created by the local hotels, hostels, hospitals, salons, and small businesses that are shortly going to rely upon the laundry services more and more.

Moreover, government policies that encourage the new start-ups and the giving of easier access to franchise models have meanwhile reduced the obstacles to entry. Thus, the laundry brands which have been organized are not only finding urban towns as viable but also very profitable.

Washmart is one of the major players that has taken the advantage of the organised laundry growth in the urban cities

Washmart, India's leading franchise chain for laundry and dry-cleaning, is one of the companies that have gained steady grounds in this huge growth wave. It is present in hundreds of cities and towns and has been one of the main contributors to the professional, standardized laundry services coming to the previously underserved areas.

Washmart's franchise-led model fits urban towns perfectly. It provides an opportunity to local entrepreneurs to start a modern laundry business with almost no risk, by giving them the necessary operational support, technology-driven processes, and the trust of an established brand. The support ranges from equipment selection and store setup to staff training and marketing—Washmart is there with end-to-end assistance—making it easy for the new business owners to make it and succeed.

Besides, the Washmart's affordability focus, without compromising on quality is what mainly strengthens the brand's urban markets relevance. The company provides such services as steam ironing, shoe and bag cleaning, premium dry cleaning, and express laundry, which are not only keeping up with the changing consumer needs but also being offered at a price that is friendly to price-sensitive customers.

A Landmark Growth Opportunity for Entrepreneurs

The laundry business is an opportunity that is recession-resilient for entrepreneurs in the urban towns. The care of clothing is a necessity that recurs, and the organized players like Washmart are the ones who help turn this everyday need into a business that can be scaled. There is going to be a steady rise in demand because of the growing awareness of hygiene and the lifespan of fabrics.

As the story of India's growth moves from the metro areas to the smaller towns and cities, the organized laundry sector will be one of the main factors that shape the local economies. The success of Washmart and similar brands demonstrates how structured business models can tap into the potential of emerging urban markets, and at the same time, it is a clear indication that the future of laundry in India is not just limited to the big cities anymore.

Shraddha Kapoor's 'Me Time = Rich Marie Time': Bisk Farm's Heartwarming Chai Break Campaign

ST Correspondent — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 16:57:17 +0530

Shraddha Kapoor's 'Me Time = Rich Marie Time': Bisk Farm's Heartwarming Chai Break Campaign

Known for her charm, versatility, and strong connection with audiences across age groups, Shraddha Kapoor embodies the perfect blend of tradition and modernity, much like the brand’s ethos.

The film shows Shraddha Kapoor enjoying her “me time” which helps her express her best creative self, via a spontaneous dance where she is completely immersed in her own zone without a care for the world. Through these moments, the film captures her Me Time = Rich Marie Time ritual where a cup of chai and a Rich Marie biscuit offer a great way to take a break from the mundane world.

Bisk Farm Rich Marie stands as a distinguished name in the Marie biscuit category, thoughtfully crafted to complement India’s most cherished ritual—chai time. In a culture where 'me time' seamlessly becomes 'chai time', Rich Marie turns a simple pause into a moment of personal comfort and everyday warmth.

Speaking of the association, Mr. Vijay Singh, Managing Director at SAJ Food Products (P) Ltd, said, “Rich Marie stands for the belief that taking time for yourself is not a luxury but a necessity in today’s fast-paced lives. Whether it’s a homemaker, a working professional, or anyone navigating a busy day, these small me-time rituals are essential to pause and reconnect with one’s best self. Shraddha Kapoor embodies this authenticity and balance effortlessly, making her the perfect face to bring the Rich Marie ‘Me Time’ philosophy to life.”

Adding to this, Ms. Shraddha Kapoor said, “For me, me-time has always been about enjoying moments that feel truly mine. Rich Marie makes those pauses even more special. Whether it’s with chai or just a simple break, every Rich Marie bite reminds me to take a moment for myself, rejuvenate, and reconnect with my best self. It’s my little ritual of comfort and personal refreshment.”

The new campaign featuring Shraddha Kapoor—built around the relatable and heartwarming theme “Me Time = Rich Marie Time”—has gone live across multiple platforms such as television, digital, print and social media platforms reinforcing Rich Marie’s position as a comforting, everyday companion.

As Bisk Farm steps into its next chapter, this collaboration marks a new beginning — one that honours its legacy while embracing a fresh, contemporary spirit.

The Evolution of HR Roles in India’s Global Capability Centers (GCCs)

ST Correspondent — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 20:13:34 +0530

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!

How Zyoin Empowers GCC HR Transformation

GCC HR today goes beyond hiring—it requires strategic workforce thinking. At Zyoin, we help GCCs build future-ready talent engines.

Strategic Talent Acquisition: Expertise in niche skills across AI/ML, cloud, and cybersecurity to build innovation-driven teams.
End-to-End HR Support: From leadership hiring to scale recruitment, supporting GCC growth across metros and tier-2 cities.
Future-Ready Workforce Planning: Proactive talent pipelines aligned to your 3–5 year business roadmap.
Local Insight, Global Standards: Deep India market expertise aligned with global GCC expectations.

In the GCC 4.0 era, strategic HR will define true innovation hubs—and the journey has just begun.

Rati Organics Launches Natural Rose Water Crafted with Ancient Ayurvedic Wisdom

ST Correspondent — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 12:39:02 +0530

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.

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.

Koffelo Launches NOC, India’s Fastest Cold Brew Shot That Delivers Café-Style Coffee in 5 Seconds

ST Correspondent — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 13:41:50 +0530

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.

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.

Rsrishti International: Bridging Indian Goods to the World

ST Correspondent — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 18:48:55 +0530

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.

Dr. Narendra Tomar: The Global Strategist Redefining GCCs, AI Leadership and Enterprise Transformation

ST Correspondent — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 17:52:06 +0530

In an era defined by rapid digitalization, global enterprise restructuring and the rise of AI-driven operating models, Dr. Narendra Pratap Singh Tomar has emerged as one of the most respected transformation thinkers of his time. Popularly known as Dr. Narendra Tomar or NPS Tomar, he is an Indian-origin global strategist, CXO advisor and Founder and Managing Director of Marshall Ridge Consulting Ltd in the United Kingdom. With more than twenty years of international experience, he has shaped transformation outcomes for global conglomerates, Fortune-tier enterprises and next-generation Global Capability Centers across India, the UK, the Middle East and APAC.

Early Life and Formative Values

Born and raised in India and currently based in Mumbai, Dr. Tomar attributes his leadership foundation to the values instilled by his parents, Bharat Singh Tomar and Alakhnandini Singh Tomar. Their emphasis on discipline, clarity of thought, structural balance and emotional grounding played a defining role in shaping his worldview.

From an early age, he displayed a keen interest in understanding how systems work — whether organisational structures, technology frameworks or behavioural patterns. This natural inclination toward logic, governance and problem-solving led him to pursue a career that would unite technology with strategic leadership.

A Two-Decade Global Career

Dr. Tomar began his professional journey in 2006 and has since worked across multiple continents, contributing to some of the most respected institutions and consulting firms in the world. His experience spans leadership and transformation roles at HSBC, IBM, PwC India, QualityKiosk Technologies, Resmera Solutions and the UK-based Topaz Group, where he contributed as Co-Founder.

His work involved building high-performing global teams, driving cross-border transformation initiatives and modernising enterprise operations. Over two decades, he has directly contributed to transformation programs valued at more than 500 million USD, making him a rare strategist who combines high-level foresight with hands-on execution.

Establishing Marshall Ridge Consulting (UK)

The creation of Marshall Ridge Consulting Ltd in the UK was a culmination of Dr. Tomar’s strategic vision for the future of advisory services. He observed that organisations no longer benefit from traditional, layered consulting structures. Instead, they require strategic partners who offer clarity, speed of execution and measurable impact.

Marshall Ridge Consulting was built on three pillars: perspective, precision and performance. The firm focuses on enterprise transformation, GCC strategy and scaling, AI-led modernisation, digital and technology uplift, leadership advisory, M&A readiness and operating model redesign. Despite being a bootstrapped venture, it rapidly built international credibility, working with clients across the UK, Middle East, India and APAC. Its agile, senior-led and non-bureaucratic approach differentiates it from conventional consulting houses.

The firm operates from its UK office located at 27–37 Station Road, Hayes, UB3 4DX, England, and continues to expand its international presence.

Leadership Philosophy and Strategic Influence

Dr. Tomar is known for advising CXOs, boards, founders and GCC leaders on high-stakes decisions that shape the future of their organisations. His guidance often focuses on enterprise AI operating models, digital acceleration strategies, multi-country governance structures, cybersecurity modernisation, organisational maturity, innovation ecosystems and future-of-work readiness.

His leadership philosophy is rooted in structured thinking, ethical governance and the belief that the next generation of leaders must integrate human intelligence with technological intelligence. Dr. Tomar emphasises purpose-driven progress, emotional stability and clarity-driven decision-making as critical attributes of leadership in the AI era.

Awards, Recognition and Global Appointments

Dr. Tomar’s contributions to global transformation and governance have been recognised through several honours. He received the Indian Achievers' Award for Excellence in the Banking and Financial Sector in 2024, acknowledging his influence on enterprise technology and transformation. He served as a judge at the Asia Pacific Software Testing Awards 2024, recognising excellence in global software quality.

He is also a member of the World Human Rights Protection Commission and holds an Honorary Doctorate from the same institution. His professional credentials include an Independent Director certification from IICA and a Global CXO certification from CXO Hive.

Author of Two Transformative Books

Beyond his advisory work, Dr. Tomar is an author whose writing focuses on redefining leadership, wealth, purpose and the future of digital organisations. His published book, The Life Capitalist, reimagines the meaning of wealth through emotional strength, conscious living, societal responsibility and personal purpose. It encourages individuals to pursue balance, legacy and meaningful success.

His second book, Digital Renaissance: The Executive’s Handbook to Transformative Leadership, offers a comprehensive leadership roadmap for CXOs transitioning from traditional management models to AI-driven organisational structures. It includes frameworks, case studies and governance models designed for executive readiness in the 5.0 era of leadership.

Together, these works reflect his mission to inspire both personal and organisational transformation.

Vision for the Future

Dr. Tomar’s long-term vision is to build Marshall Ridge Consulting into one of the world’s most trusted transformation and strategy firms. His focus includes expanding operations across Europe, the Middle East and the United States, launching a leadership excellence community known as CXO Factory, advancing responsible AI adoption and helping organisations build digital-first operating models that are both scalable and sustainable.

He aims to develop global consulting standards rooted in clarity, precision and impact — redefining what strategic advisory should look like in the next decade.

The 5 Must-Haves for Modern Creators, Featuring Smart Solutions from StudioBackdrops

ST Correspondent — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 21:31:52 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 10 : Every creator knows the moment: you finish filming, review your footage, and realise your idea was strong, but your setup wasn’t. The lighting’s off, your audio is fuzzy, the background looks chaotic — and suddenly your content doesn’t match the vision in your head. And in a landscape where creator-influenced spending is expected to surpass $1 trillion globally by 2030, production quality has become a competitive advantage.

So, the real question isn’t “Should I start?” — it’s “What do I start with?” The new creator’s essentials aren’t a checklist to buy, but the right toolkit to make your ideas land. It will just not improve your content — they give you control, save time, and prevent frustration before it even starts. With so many options out there, it is important to understand which tool is the correct one for you. And which one will help your content stand out?

Stability That Speaks Volumes: Tripods that support

A shaky video can ruin even the most engaging content. Tripods, supports, and rigs are basic but essential tools for creators. Whether you’re filming with a smartphone or a DSLR, having a reliable tripod ensures smooth, professional-looking footage. With StudioBackdrops’ range of tripods and rigs, creators can shoot anywhere, your living room, a park, or a bustling street, without compromising quality.

"For us, it’s always been about giving creators the tools that instantly elevate their content," says Archisman Misra, Founder of StudioBackdrops. "Even a simple tripod can make a huge difference in the end result." New content creators can just start with the AriesX Flex Mobile Tripod Stand or the AriesX Ace Professional Camera Tripod Stand, perfect for Phones and Cameras.

Clear Audio: Wireless Microphones

No one likes videos where the background noise overpowers the speaker. A wireless microphone is a must-have for creators talking to their audience or doing tutorials. Unlike phone mics, wireless options pick up clean audio, eliminating distractions and enhancing viewer engagement. StudioBackdrops’ wireless microphones strike the perfect balance between quality and affordability with its Synco Wmic – TS Mini 1-to-1 UHF Wireless Microphone, Synco Wmic – T1 16-Channel UHF Wireless Lavalier Mic System with Tx and Rx and more.

Setting the Stage: Backdrops

The backdrop you choose can define the look and feel of your content. One aesthetic corner in your house can only keep your audience hooked for so long. If you keep changing your backdrop and shooting location, your audience will be intrigued. Fabric backdrops are cost-effective, paper backdrops give a polished finish, and innovative options like the Twistflex backdrop combine the best of both worlds—professional aesthetics at a creator-friendly price. A clean, well-chosen backdrop immediately focuses attention on your content and adds a professional touch that viewers subconsciously appreciate.

Twistflex backdrops from StudioBackdrops come in a range of versatile colors and fabric options. Designed for creators on the move, they’re lightweight, easy to set up, and fold neatly into themselves. Their highlight absorption fabric eliminates unwanted reflections, giving your photos and videos a clean, professional finish—wherever you shoot.

Mastering the Light: Quix Light Modifiers & Portable Studio Lights

Lighting can transform mundane content into visually striking creations. Quick-setup softboxes like Quix Light Modifiers let you shape and control light effectively, giving a soft, natural glow to the photos and videos. For creators needing portability and versatility, the Xtreme Portable Light series is perfect—small, powerful, and ideal for both photography and video setups. Good lighting isn’t a luxury; it is a necessity in this time, where it is difficult to stand out. The correct product will last you for a long time and give you the best return on investment.

Choosing the Right Tools: Beyond the Checklist

Archisman Misra adds, “It's not about the price point; it's about choosing the correct tool that serves your purpose. Many new creators buy the cheapest product available without understanding how it will affect their content. Start with research, pick one problem to solve at a time, and find the best product that solves that problem while being a good value for money. The right tools deliver real ROI by improving content quality, engagement, and monetisation potential. They also last much, much longer than the cheap gimmicky products, thus saving you money in the long run. We want every creator to feel empowered to tell their story with clarity and confidence."

By choosing the right gear early on, new creators can avoid unnecessary spending later down the line. The right gear will maintain consistent quality and stay focused on what truly matters—making content that resonates. And with recent insights from a BCG report showing India’s creator economy rapidly expanding beyond metros into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the timing couldn’t be better. A thoughtful setup today doesn’t just improve production value; it positions creators to reach diverse audiences and convert that reach into real, long-term growth.

PM Publishers Partners with Google to Transform 2 Million Textbooks into Interactive AI Tutors with Google Gemini

ST Correspondent — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 15:32:18 +0530

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.”

Avdhesh Industries Enhances Precision Die and Pattern Manufacturing in Ahmedabad With Digital Engineering and Export-Ready Quality

ST Correspondent — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 19:25:39 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], December 5 : Avdhesh Industries, a long-established engineering company with more than 30 years of experience in die making, pattern development, precision machining, and reverse engineering, has announced significant advancements in its manufacturing ecosystem to support modern OEM requirements across India. Driven by a commitment to technology adoption and high-accuracy machining, the company now offers an integrated approach to tooling — combining digital engineering, CNC/VMC production, and advanced inspection methods under one workflow.

At the core of Avdhesh Industries’ manufacturing system is its expertise in metal and aluminum pattern engineering, including split patterns, match plates, core boxes, cope and drag molds, shell core dies, investment casting dies (lost wax), investment casting services and lost foam dies designed for high-precision foundry applications. Digital simulation helps identify shrinkage, flow defects, weak points, and machining collisions before manufacturing begins, reducing rework and improving first-time casting accuracy. This approach has helped foundries and OEMs achieve predictable production planning and better component consistency.

Over the years, Avdhesh Industries has expanded beyond the pump industry to serve automotive, locomotive, defence, medical implant, industrial machinery, agriculture equipment, and valve casting manufacturers. This multi-sector capability has been built on investments in 3D scanning, CNC/VMC machining centers, CAD/CAM systems such as Siemens NX, Powermill, and SolidWorks, and simulation-guided design validation. These tools enable faster development cycles, improved casting outcomes, and repeatable accuracy for both prototype and production requirements.

The company’s 3D scanning and reverse-engineering division provides high-resolution digital data capture for worn-out, discontinued, or legacy parts where drawings are unavailable. Converting STL data to CAD, generating casting deviation reports, and recreating complex geometries allow OEMs to upgrade critical components without depending on imported spares. This capability has been especially valuable in the automotive and defence sectors, where high dimensional standards, material control, and documentation traceability are mandatory.

With growing demand for local sourcing and engineering reliability, Avdhesh Industries is strengthening internal quality processes through 3D inspection, CMM support, and export-ready packaging standards, ensuring dimensional stability during transit for heavy dies and machined components. While the company currently supplies across India, leadership has stated that it is actively preparing for long-term export-capable production, focusing on surface finish norms, tolerance control, simulation-based machining planning, and documentation for international RFQ eligibility.

“As we move forward, our objective is to combine our heritage in tooling craftsmanship with digital manufacturing technology,” the management team shared. “We are building systems that support faster development, stronger accuracy, and sector-specific engineering requirements for OEM partners.”

With continued investment in infrastructure, automation, talent development, and inspection, Avdhesh Industries aims to reinforce its position as a dependable precision engineering partner and a future-ready supplier for global manufacturing needs.

FutureMe: Redefining Beauty in Indian Luxury

ST Correspondent — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 13:41:47 +0530

Founder and CEO of FutureMe, Supriya Mody: The Woman Reimagining Indulgent Skincare

New Delhi [India : In an industry long dominated by excess, exclusivity, and surface-level indulgence, Supriya Mody is quietly rewriting the codes of luxury. As the Founder and CEO of FutureMe, she has created a brand anchored not in vanity, but in vision - where high science meets deep care, and where skincare becomes a medium through which people can nurture their boldest dreams.

Raised in an Indian pharmaceutical dynasty and having previously led as the CEO of Unichem’s International Formulation Business, Supriya brings with her a rare combination of scientific depth and business clarity. FutureMe is, in many ways, a natural extension of that journey: a brand that rejects the industry’s obsession with “fixing flaws” and instead champions potential, possibility, and conscious luxury.

FutureMe, following its highly successful launch in South Africa last year, enters the Indian market with its collection, Arayani - an ultra-performing, luxuriously indulgent skincare line rooted in restoration, balance, and quiet luxury. “FutureMe is about potential - about giving wings to your dreams through skincare that truly works,” says Supriya. It is this philosophy that anchors the business, informs the product strategy, and shapes the brand she is building.

For Supriya, the turning point came early in the entrepreneurial journey: the decision to not take the industry’s easier route. While many brands were white-labelling products, she chose to build everything from scratch - formulations, packaging, even the smallest design elements.

Doing this during the pandemic made the process even more complex. She and her team collaborated remotely with scientists, artists, and manufacturers across the world. She travelled to Italy to identify the exact iridescent print for their jars and sourced the metallic plating for their spatulas from a single vendor in the world.

Supriya Mody, Founder and CEO, FutureMe

“Every time someone said ‘this can’t be done,’ it became fuel,” she recalls. That mindset - persistent, detail-driven, innovation-oriented - has become central to FutureMe’s business identity now.

One of the brand’s strongest differentiators is the FutureBlend, created with cosmetic chemist Dr. Renuka Thergaonkar. The proprietary complex fuses botanical extracts, vitamins, actives and FutureMe’s signature BeautyFrequency - a Sound Therapy technology used to enhance absorption at a cellular level.

The research spanned five years, often against industry voices who insisted botanicals could never feel truly “luxurious.” FutureMe didn’t compromise, and the payoff is clear: formulas that feel indulgent but function like clinical-grade treatments.

Supriya’s business philosophy is simple: do fewer things, but do them exceptionally well. For her, conscious skincare is as much a way of working as it is a way of formulating, rooted in intention, focus, and long-term value rather than trends. That clarity extends to design too. FutureMe’s visual world; its art wraps, typography, and colours; have been crafted to feel refined, warm, and distinct in a category where luxury often feels impersonal.

This ethos comes to life at The House of FutureMe, the company’s most immersive expression yet. Located in Breach Candy, Mumbai, it is the first of its kind: an exclusive, by-invite-only sanctuary that wholly embodies the brand, its values and its products. More than a flagship, it serves as a venue for intimate gatherings, collaborations, and conversations that celebrate individuality and the art of self-evolution.

FutureMe’s first collection, Arayani, serves as a deliberate and strategic entry into the Indian luxury skincare market. Named after a mythic goddess of nature, the line reflects a clear brand philosophy: high-performance formulations, elevated textures, and a distinctive visual identity designed to stand apart in a saturated category. Early user feedback - firmer, brighter, more resilient skin - reinforces the brand’s positioning as a results-driven luxury player.

For Supriya, who has built FutureMe with a long-term growth vision, Arayani is not just a launch, it’s the foundation for scalable expansion. With the Arayani Collection setting the benchmark, FutureMe enters India with a blueprint for strong brand equity, consumer trust, and sustained business momentum.

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:

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.
The UDAAN AI Mental Health Solutions Framework: A comprehensive, practice-oriented framework for organisations, educational institutions, and healthcare providers to deploy AI solutions responsibly.
The Emerging Technology Council: A think-tank unveiled with a formal charter, committed to strategic foresight and strengthening the national innovation ecosystem.
Inaugural AI Mental Health Innovation Fellows (AMHIF): A fellowship to develop India-specific research on workplace mental resilience, creating a pipeline of future-ready talent.
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.

ChargeZone® Announces Project E-DHARA, Pioneering India’s Renewable-Powered EV Charging Infrastructure

ST Correspondent — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 20:48:06 +0530

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.

EarlyJobs Expands Its AI Recruitment Network with a New Franchise in Bangalore

ST Correspondent — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 21:00:04 +0530

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], November 18: EarlyJobs, India’s first AI-powered recruitment network, has launched its newest franchise in Bangalore, reinforcing its presence in India’s most competitive and innovation-driven job market. 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.

Through intelligent automation, the platform matches candidates to roles based on skill, communication ability, and job readiness – drastically reducing the time and effort needed for sourcing, screening, and shortlisting. For employers, this means faster closures; for candidates, it ensures fairer access to opportunities across sectors like IT, EdTech, BFSI, and Operations.

Bridging Talent and Opportunity in India’s Tech Capital

Despite being a hub of talent, Bangalore’s job ecosystem remains fragmented, especially for fresh graduates and early-career candidates. The new EarlyJobs franchise will directly bridge this gap by partnering with local colleges, training institutes, and corporates to conduct walk-in drives, AI-based assessments, and structured placement programs.

By combining human recruitment expertise with AI precision, EarlyJobs ensures companies connect with pre-verified, job-ready candidates – often within 7–10 days, compared to traditional hiring cycles that stretch for weeks.

Empowering Recruiters and Entrepreneurs Through Technology

The Bangalore franchise is also a vital part of EarlyJobs’ vision to build India’s largest decentralized recruitment network. Each franchise operates independently under the EarlyJobs brand, gaining access to the company’s central AI tools, candidate databases, and operational systems. This model empowers local entrepreneurs and women recruiters to run scalable, tech-enabled hiring operations with national reach.

Commenting on the launch, Ravi Prakash Kumar, Founder and Director of EarlyJobs, said:

“Bangalore defines the future of India’s workforce – fast, digital, and deeply connected. With this launch, we are transforming how hiring happens, using AI to make recruitment faster, smarter, and more transparent. Our goal is simple: no company should struggle to hire, and no candidate should struggle to find the right opportunity.”

Building India’s Fastest Recruitment Network

EarlyJobs’ integrated platform combines technology and execution through:

AI Skill Assessments for communication, aptitude, and technical screening
Recruitment Automation Tools for tracking, shortlisting, and reporting
College Integration Portals to connect campus talent with employers
Freelance Recruiter Dashboard to enable flexible, commission-based hiring

With over 22+ franchise locations, including Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Surat, Mohali, Chandigarh, Rampur, and Anantapur, EarlyJobs continues to expand its reach. The Bangalore franchise will serve as a central hub for South India – supporting both corporate recruitment and campus placement drives.

To date, EarlyJobs has completed 2,000+ placements, trained 1,000+ interns, and partnered with 300+ freelance recruiters, helping employers like HDFC, Rupeek, Cogent, and Shaadi.com find top talent nationwide.

EarlyJobs is India’s first AI-enabled recruitment network connecting companies, colleges, and freelance recruiters on a single digital platform. Its mission is to make hiring faster, smarter, and more inclusive by combining artificial intelligence with local recruiter expertise. Through its growing franchise model, EarlyJobs is building India’s largest on-ground hiring network – bringing opportunities closer to every college, every recruiter, and every candidate.

IDRC’s 4th Arbitration in India Conclave 2025: We will Strengthen Institutional Arbitration, Law Min. Meghwal

ST Correspondent — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 16:53:48 +0530

IDRC’s 4th Arbitration in India Conclave 2025, Law Min. Meghwal, HMJ Manmohan, Sh. OP Dhankar & Ors

New Delhi [India], November 7: The Indian Dispute Resolution Centre (IDRC), in collaboration with the Bar Council of India’s India International University of Legal Education and Research (IIULER), successfully hosted the “4th Arbitration in India Conclave 2025” at the India International Centre, New Delhi. Supported by CIArb and Vienna International Arbitration Centre, Austria. The Conclave brought together judges, legal luminaries, policymakers, and senior practitioners to deliberate on the theme “Autonomy and Accountability in Arbitration: Institutional Arbitration is the Way Forward.”

Hon’ble Union Minister for Law and Justice, Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, delivered the keynote address, outlining the Government’s reform-oriented vision for ADR. Stating that “Arbitration, Mediation, and Conciliation are essential tools for strengthening India’s justice delivery and economic growth.” Citing the Mediation Act, 2023 and the forthcoming amendments to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, he said these initiatives would “make India a preferred seat for both domestic and international arbitration.”

Shri Meghwal remarked that ADR mechanisms reflect India’s cultural and legal heritage, noting that “from Lord Krishna’s mediation in the Mahabharata to today’s institutional mechanisms, India has always valued resolution through dialogue and alternative modes.” He called upon arbitration institutions to ensure accessibility, affordability, and integrity, noting that “judicial intervention should be limited, and efficiency must define India’s dispute resolution landscape.”

Hon’ble Justice Manmohan, Supreme Court, in his valedictory address, called for institutional arbitration to evolve as a transparent and predictable system.
Praising IDRC’s achievements, noting that the Centre had conducted over 3,000 arbitrations in five years and has become a “symbol of India’s commitment to establish an efficient and credible ADR ecosystem.”

Justice Manmohan observed that “Courts must act as facilitators, not barriers, to arbitration. Excessive judicial interference erodes the very purpose of alternative dispute resolution.”
Highlighting the benefits of Institutional Arbitrations over ad hoc proceedings, he went on to suggest that a moratorium should be placed on all ad hoc arbitrations for a certain period so that institutional arbitration can be strengthened. Referring to the Justice BN Shrikrishna Committee Report, he said India should promote arbitration institutions to become a global ADR hub.

He proposed strict timelines for enforcing awards under Sections 34 and 37 of the Arbitration Act to ensure time-bound disposal of arbitration challenges. The Hon’ble Judge also urged the Government to revisit the Finance Ministry’s circular restricting arbitration only to disputes valued less than Rs. 10 Crore, stating that “the Government must remain a part of the arbitration movement, not apart from it.”

Panel Discussion was on “Autonomy and Accountability in Arbitration: Institutional Arbitration is the way forward” moderated by Dr Shashwat Bajpai, Founder Partner, DSRB Law Chambers, with panellists:

Mr S.D. Sanjay, Additional Solicitor General of India, Supreme Court
Ms Anuradha Dutt, Senior Partner, DMD Advocates
Mr Ayush Agarwala, Partner, Bombay Law Chambers
Ms Shruti Sabharwal, Partner, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas

Panellists unanimously agreed that institutional arbitration ensures quality, neutrality, and procedural discipline, unlike ad hoc arbitrations that often face delays and cost overruns.

Ms Anuradha Dutt emphasised that “India can only become a true arbitration hub if it combines institutional discipline with a predictable judiciary.”

Mr S.D. Sanjay highlighted that “institutional systems help prevent arbitral fee abuse, avoid delays and promote fairness.”

Ms Shruti Sabharwal noted that “structured oversight, award scrutiny, and ethical accountability make institutional arbitration inherently superior to ad hoc ones”

Mr Ayush Agarwala added that “efficiency, diversity among arbitrators, and digital adoption will determine the future success of arbitration in India.”

Delivering the Welcome Address, Ved Prakash Sharma, Advocate and Co-Chairman, BCI applauded the growing role of arbitration in modern dispute resolution. He highlighted the collaboration between BCI and IDRC, stating that their joint efforts have been “instrumental in promoting awareness, education, and reforms that strengthen India’s arbitration ecosystem.”

Ms Sumedha Sindhu Rathi, Head of Operations and Member Secretary, Advisory Board, IDRC, welcomed the dignitaries and participants, outlining IDRC’s key functions and the benefits of Institutional Arbitration. Mr Divyansh H. Rathi, Hony. Secretary of IDRC and Managing Partner, Lexidem and Rathi, expressed gratitude to all guests and reaffirmed IDRC’s commitment to advancing institutional arbitration and making India a global hub for credible, efficient, and technology-driven dispute resolution.

How Mayank Pathak Built Translite Scaffolding into a Name Synonymous with Safety and Strength

ST Correspondent — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 19:51:26 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 5: Translite Scaffolding Ltd. has emerged as a trusted leader in India’s infrastructure landscape over the past decade, specializing in high-quality scaffolding and formwork solutions for complex projects including metros, highways, bridges, and industrial constructions. With a clear focus on safety, engineering precision, and innovation, the company supports seamless execution on some of the country’s most demanding construction sites. Behind this rise is Mayank Pathak, the Founder and Managing Director, whose personal journey and leadership have been integral to Translite’s evolution into a brand synonymous with reliability and structural strength.

Early Insights and Founding Vision

Mayank Pathak’s story is one of vision combined with hands-on expertise and an entrepreneurial spirit. Prior to founding Translite in 2011, Mayank gained extensive experience in infrastructure leadership roles. He closely observed the nuanced challenges faced by large-scale engineering projects where scaffolding and formwork, often underestimated as ancillary services, actually form the backbone of execution quality, safety, and scheduling. This insight was instrumental in inspiring Mayank to build a company that could bring disciplined project delivery, innovative engineering solutions, and strong client partnerships to this critical domain.

Landmark Projects Under Mayank Pathak’s Leadership

Mayank Pathak’s leadership has guided Translite Scaffolding through numerous landmark projects that showcase the company’s engineering prowess and commitment to safety. Notable among these are major infrastructure developments such as the Dwarka Expressway and Delhi Urban Extension Road project in Delhi, the Ganga Expressway across Garhmukteshwar to Meerut, and key highway projects in Kurukshetra, Chittoor, and Vizag.

Translite has also played an instrumental role in high-profile railway projects including the open-web steel girder rail flyover launch in Kalamboli, Maharashtra — a pioneering radial-slew launch executed with precise engineering systems designed and supplied by the company. Beyond transport corridors, Translite’s formwork and scaffolding systems have supported prestigious industrial and urban infrastructure projects like the New Parliament Building in Delhi, Adani’s Dhamra LNG plant in Odisha, the Adani Port in Mundra, and manufacturing hubs including Hyundai Motors in Gurgaon, Oppo and Haier facilities in Greater Noida, and TCS in Noida. This diverse portfolio underlines Translite’s capability to deliver tailored, high-quality solutions across metros, highways, railways, and industrial sectors, reinforcing its stature as a trusted name in India’s infrastructure landscape.

Innovation in Scaffolding and Formwork Solutions

Understanding that scaffolding and formwork directly impact the safety and structural integrity of infrastructure, Mayank positioned Translite not merely as a supplier but as a trusted execution partner. Under his leadership, Translite introduced modular and customizable scaffolding systems that combine lightweight high-strength steel with cutting-edge design to adapt seamlessly to varied project requirements. The company’s formwork innovations have significantly reduced project cycle times while enhancing onsite safety through precision-engineered shuttering solutions for piers, girders, slabs, and customized urban infrastructure components.

Leadership Rooted in Discipline and Quality

Mayank’s background, marked by a thorough grasp of infrastructure finance and risk management, enabled a rigorous discipline in how Translite approaches project execution. The focus on long-term client relationships, quality assurance, and forward-thinking research and development processes underpins the company’s ability to meet aggressive timelines without compromising on safety standards. This dual emphasis on innovation and reliability has helped Translite earn trust among major infrastructure developers delivering metro rail systems, highways, and industrial corridors across India and the Middle East.

Cultivating a Culture of Expertise and Integrity

Beyond business acumen, Mayank’s leadership philosophy reflects a deep commitment to building a professional culture centered on expertise, integrity, and proactive problem solving. He fosters an environment where engineering teams collaborate closely with clients to develop tailored solutions rather than offering off-the-shelf products. His insistence on continuous learning and technology adoption resonates through Translite’s growth trajectory, which today includes a comprehensive portfolio of engineered heavy steel fabrication, scaffolding design, formwork erection, and maintenance services.

Resilience and Vision in a Competitive Industry

Mayank Pathak’s journey also exemplifies resilience and adaptive thinking. From navigating the challenges of a competitive infrastructure sector to evolving a small enterprise into a reputable company with international reach, his path illustrates the importance of vision married with execution discipline. His ability to foresee construction industry trends such as adoption of modular systems and digital integration for project efficiency has positioned Translite at the forefront of India’s evolving infrastructure landscape.

Conclusion: A Legacy Built on Safety and Strength

In essence, the story of Mayank Pathak and Translite Scaffolding is one of carefully engineered growth rooted in a personal belief that safety and strength are foundational, not optional, for modern construction. Mayank’s dedication to these values not only shaped a company but also contributed to raising industry standards, proving that with visionary leadership and unwavering focus, scaffolding and formwork can be transformative forces in building the future.

NOT FOR YOU: The Marketing Campaign That Holds Up a Mirror to India

ST Correspondent — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 22:27:39 +0530

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], October 31: In a marketing landscape saturated with aspirational messaging and celebrity endorsements, Glasafe is doing something radically different: telling potential customers they are not welcome.

This premium glassware brand’s unprecedented “NOT FOR YOU” campaign is forcing the entire generation to confront uncomfortable truths about everyday behavior that erodes the social fabric of our communities.

When Marketing Becomes a Mirror

“We are not here to make everyone comfortable,” says Glasafe’s co-founder, Anshul Choukhany. “We are here to create a community of people who care about others, about shared spaces, about the kind of society we are building together. In a world where people are constantly taken for granted, we are putting humans first.”

The campaign, which has already generated significant buzz on Glasafe’s Instagram (@glasafe), features stark, unflinching scenarios from daily Indian life: the person who parks across two spots, forcing others to struggle; the commuter who blocks the Metro door, delaying hundreds; the pedestrian who tosses a wrapper, disrespecting shared spaces; the driver who honks incessantly, disregarding everyone’s peace.

Each scenario reveals a deeper truth: behind every thoughtless act is a human being affected: the elderly person who can’t find parking, the working professional late for an important meeting, the street sweeper whose dignity we ignore, the child startled by unnecessary noise.

The message? If this is you, Glasafe is NOT FOR YOU!

The Courage to Alienate

In an era where brands desperately court every possible customer, Glasafe’s willingness to actively reject certain behaviors represents a seismic shift in marketing philosophy. It’s not about shaming, it’s about awakening.

“We have always believed that brands have a responsibility beyond profit,” the co-founders, Kushal Choukhany, explain. “We are not just selling premium glassware; we are building a community united by shared values. And those values start with basic human consideration.”

The campaign doesn’t preach or patronize. Instead, it holds up a mirror with unflinching honesty: This is what we do. This is who we are when no one’s watching. This is what we have normalized.

And then it asks a simple question: Is this who you want to be?

From Unconscious Habit to Conscious Choice

What makes “NOT FOR YOU” particularly powerful is its acknowledgment that most civic transgressions are absolutely mindless. We have become so desensitized to dysfunction that we have stopped seeing it.

The campaign’s genius lies in its subtlety. By positioning these behaviors as disqualifying for Glasafe ownership, the brand is inviting introspection. It’s creating an aspirational identity around civic consciousness rather than just luxury or status.

“We don’t want to stoop anyone down,” Kushal clarified. “We want to lift everyone up. But that starts with awareness. You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge.”

How a Glassware Brand Took the Initiative?

The connection between premium glassware and civic responsibility might seem unusual at first, until you consider what both represent: refinement, care, and respect for the experience.

Just as premium glassware elevates everyday moments into something more mindful and intentional, civic consciousness transforms ordinary interactions into acts of collective dignity. Both require us to slow down, pay attention, and honor the space we occupy, whether it’s our dining table or our city streets.

Glasafe’s message is clear: If you appreciate the craftsmanship and care that goes into premium glassware, you should extend that same thoughtfulness to the world around you.

A Movement, Not Just Marketing

Early response to the campaign has been remarkable. Social media is ablaze with self-reflection, debate, and most importantly, behavior change stories. Users are sharing their own “NOT FOR YOU” moments and pledging to do better.

The campaign has sparked something rare in modern marketing: genuine conversation about values.

Building the India We Deserve

Glasafe’s “NOT FOR YOU” campaign arrives at a crucial moment in India’s evolution. As we surge forward as a global economic power, the question becomes: What kind of society are we building? What values are we carrying forward?

The campaign argues that true progress isn’t measured only in GDP or infrastructure, it’s measured in how we treat shared spaces, fellow citizens, and the social awareness that binds us.

“We’re not trying to be controversial for controversy’s sake,” the co-founders note. “We’re trying to be catalysts for change. Real change. The kind that starts with one person deciding to be better today than they were yesterday.”

The Biggest Campaign Yet

Glasafe is betting big on consciousness. “NOT FOR YOU” represents the brand’s largest marketing investment to date, a signal that they believe Indian consumers are ready for a more mature, values-driven relationship with brands.

The campaign is rolling out across multiple platforms, with Instagram (@glasafe) serving as the central hub for engagement and community building. Each post features a different scenario, inviting followers to examine their own behavior without judgment, but with honesty.

An Invitation Disguised as Exclusion

Paradoxically, by telling certain people that Glasafe isn’t for them, the brand is actually extending the most inclusive invitation possible: “Change, and you are welcome here.”

It’s not about perfection. It’s about intention. It’s about joining a community that’s trying to be more mindful, more considerate, more conscious of the ripple effects of our daily choices.

“Premium isn’t just about what you own,” the co-founders reflect. “It’s about who you choose to be. Our glassware is crafted with care, precision, and respect for the experience. We are looking for customers who bring that same energy to everything they do.”

In a world where everyone wants to be for everyone, Glasafe dares to stand for something specific. The question now is: Are you ready to look in the mirror? And if you don’t like what you see, are you ready to change? Because if you are, Glasafe is for you.

About Glasafe

Glasafe is a premium glassware brand committed to elevating everyday experiences through thoughtfully designed products and values-driven community building. The “NOT FOR YOU” campaign represents the brand’s largest marketing initiative to date.

New Delhi [India], October 29: In a time when the corporate world is evolving faster than ever, a new leadership development platform, Trivokan, is bringing a powerful fusion of ancient Indian wisdom and contemporary business insight to the global professional stage.

His acclaimed book, Kurukshetra Within: Leadership and Conflict Mastery through the Mahabharata, reflects the very essence of Trivokan’s philosophy — that every professional’s greatest battlefield is within.

Trivokan’s online learning academy is set to roll out interactive courses, live mentoring sessions, and leadership retreats that bring together corporate realism and spiritual depth. Through its motto — “Bold Leadership. Confident Growth. Harness Power.” — Trivokan seeks to inspire a generation of leaders who can act decisively while staying grounded in wisdom.

Azent Overseas Education Announces UK Admissions Day

ST Correspondent — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 19:52:15 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 28 : Azent Overseas Education, one of India’s leading study abroad platforms, is set to host a UK Admissions Day on October 29, 2025, at its Hyderabad Center. The event will bring together representatives from renowned UK universities — Ulster University Belfast, University of Wolverhampton, Edinburgh Napier University, and St. Mary’s University, London and more— offering aspiring students an exclusive opportunity to explore study options, understand admission requirements, and secure offers for the January 2026 intake.

“At Azent, our mission is to make overseas education more accessible, transparent, and personalized for every student. The UK Admissions Day in Hyderabad reflects our commitment to empowering students with first-hand information and real interactions with university experts. This event not only supports students in securing admissions for the upcoming intake but also deepens our engagement with our partner universities and the parent community.” said Priyanka Nishar, Founder and Managing Director of Azent Overseas Education.

The UK Admissions Day is part of Azent’s continued effort to simplify and streamline the overseas education journey for Indian students. This event aims to provide students and parents with direct access to university representatives, enabling them to receive on-the-spot guidance, application support, and clarity on scholarships, eligibility criteria, and visa processes.

Each of the participating institutions brings a strong academic reputation and a distinctive portfolio of courses that continue to attract Indian students seeking high-quality education and global career prospects.

The recent high-profile visit of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to India, accompanied by a 125-member delegation of university Vice Chancellors, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and cultural representatives, marks a defining moment in the India–UK strategic partnership. The discussions around the forthcoming Free Trade Agreement (FTA) signal a renewed era of collaboration — unlocking vast opportunities across education, business, innovation, and investment.

Why Enterprises Are Bypassing Global Cloud Giants In Favor of Indian Cloud Provider, CloudPe

ST Correspondent — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 13:58:42 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] : India’s cloud computing market is on the rise, and the decision to choose a Cloud platform has become more complicated than ever before. While the leading global providers, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, continue to expand with new infrastructure investments every year, a significant number of Indian enterprises are going a different way, one that offers data sovereignty, cost transparency, and guaranteed performance.

CloudPe, an OpenStack-based cloud in India, is one of the platforms that is turning the Indian market on its head. Rather than retrofitting global Cloud solutions to local problems, this Indian cloud platform is specifically developed for local markets from the ground up.

The Scenario of the India Cloud Computing Market in 2025

To give a sense of the market size, one can look at the table below. The numbers may vary slightly depending on the source, but remain consistent when looking at market size at year-over-year growth in cloud services across India:

Research Firm	2024/2025 Market Size	Projected 2030-2034	Growth Rate
Market Research Future	$11.69B (2025)	$48.81B (2034)	17.2%CAGR
IMARC GROUP	$29.50B (2024)	$232.78B (2033)	25.8% CAGR
Mordor Intelligence	$21.82B (2025)	$58.73B (2030)	21.9% CAGR

Cost is not the only factor fueling this growth.

Digital India initiatives, the rapid adoption of AI, and the harsh practical reality that cloud is the only way to offer business agility that on-premise infrastructure can no longer support.

The Regulatory Headwinds

This is what makes the regulatory environment so interesting when it comes to cloud adoption in India.

The Drive for Data Sovereignty

India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act of 2023 steered clear of a wholly local approach; instead, it created a “blacklist” approach. This implies the data can be moved to any destination outside of India unless the destination country has been blacklisted by the Government.

The Catalyst:

In November 2024, the announcement that came as a surprise was from the Reserve Bank of India – its own cloud platform. When the central bank of a country goes out on a limb like this, with a public announcement that it is creating its own infrastructure, the hyperscalers cannot just shrug it off. There is more than compliance at play; this is the recognition of strategic autonomy.

CloudPe’s approach obviates all these issues:

Tier 4 data center India facilities in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, where all the data remains
No cross-border data transfers
Complete audit trail with specific Indian addresses
Physics still applies, but consistently faster performance for Indian users

When it comes to cloud for regulated industries in India, like banks, healthcare, or government service providers, the local nature of this solution means that managing separate compliance requirements for each jurisdiction becomes easier. Audit trails have a clear physical location for data assets.

Performance Architecture of CloudPe OpenStack Cloud

CloudPe’s performance architecture is built around a foundation of modern, high-performance hardware. This includes latest-gen processors, with options for GPU acceleration and bare metal access for ultimate performance.

The outcome is predictable and verifiable performance. CloudPe has a high-performance architecture and the testing to prove it.

A CloudPe vs AWS comparison on the Geekbench multi-core test scored 42.23% higher for CloudPe, and the CloudPe vs Azure score was 45.04% higher. This makes CloudPe the best Indian alternative to AWS and Azure for businesses where raw computing power is essential.

Storage IOPS are predictable too, as the storage used is based on NVMe cloud storage India technology with NVMe drives and triple replication.

Networking is no different, as it has been architectured to offer true tenant isolation with VLANs and VXLAN support as opposed to purely software isolation.

CloudPe offers 20 Gbps multi-homed connectivity through leading Indian connectivity providers Tata, Jio, and Airtel, with automatic failover for redundancy.

Key facts:

Latest generation processors - AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon CPUs
High-performance storage - NVMe SSDs delivering 40,000+ IOPS
Network reliability - 99.95% uptime SLA with Tier IV infrastructure
True isolation - Dedicated resources prevent noisy neighbor problems

A Hybrid Cloud Strategy That Works For Your Business

A successful hybrid cloud strategy for your business focuses on optimizing workload placement. It’s about finding the right balance of security, performance, compliance, and cost, and running each application in the best place for it, while also making the entire infrastructure a single, cohesive ecosystem where workloads can be shifted as your business evolves.

The key to this strategy is operational consistency via a common management plane and open standards for APIs to avoid vendor lock-in. An open foundation is required to easily integrate and manage it, while robust networking securely links different environments into a unified architecture.

CloudPe provides an enterprise platform that offers just this solution. With an OpenStack foundation, CloudPe offers standardized APIs to eliminate vendor lock-in and advanced networking controls to enable secure cloud hosting with data localisation.

Additionally, a cloud with a predictable pricing model with no egress fee cloud structure gives your business the ability to strategically place workloads where performance and cost are best (based on your requirements), without losing control.

Cloud for AI Workloads in India: Processing Local Data

India’s Healthcare and Life Sciences industries are among the fastest growing, with a 29.2% CAGR, with significant contributions coming from telemedicine and AI-based diagnosis tools. These represent an acknowledgement at the enterprise level that AI is a capability that is now considered essential rather than experimental.

CloudPe’s NVIDIA H100 GPU instances are perfect for customers who want to run their production AI workloads on dedicated hardware that is provisioned with full access to the 80GB HBM3 memory per GPU, as opposed to shared access to a GPU or spot instances that can be reclaimed at any time. This allocation of dedicated instances makes it easy to train LLMs and run real-time inference workloads with high-performance computing in cloud computing capabilities.

Processing local data also has a significant advantage for organizations operating in highly regulated industries. For example, healthcare systems can train diagnostic models on data without having to worry about sending data outside the country, and financial services firms can build fraud detection models based on local data.

Some AI use cases for the platform are:

Medical imaging
Natural language processing
Computer vision
Financial modeling

Implementation and Support Through a Local Partner Ecosystem

For successful implementations and ongoing/long-term management, CloudPe partners with an extended ecosystem of trusted local system integrators (SI) and managed service providers (MSP). This enables your business to select a local expert who will understand your unique needs and provide you with a tailored, designed, and deployed solution.

With this model, your business gets the best of both worlds: the local hands-on experience of a trusted IT partner and the solid, enterprise-class infrastructure from the CloudPe platform. Your partner is responsible for managing your services and giving you direct support. The CloudPe engineering team takes care of everything else in the background, including provisioning and managing your cloud and providing 24/7 technical support.

Why Choose an Indian Cloud Provider Like CloudPe for Your Business?

Here are the biggest factors that businesses in India consider while choosing a cloud partner.

Cloud benefits vs Data Sovereignty: As Indian organisations continue to use cloud services at an exponential pace, certain complexities like data sovereignty and compliance are raised. Enterprises are then forced to either stop certain initiatives or move their workloads back to on-premises, resulting in excessive cloud spend.

Cost predictability without surprise billing: The unpredictability of monthly cloud bills from hyperscalers forces enterprises to avoid necessary experimentation and can also risk capital allocation.

Performance consistency with the least resource contention: Delivering consistent performance to customers is key for most businesses. Shared cloud infrastructure where multiple customer workloads run alongside results in the least resource contention and optimal performance for customers.

Vendor independence to avoid cloud lock-in: Platform lock-in or cloud lock-in is the inability to easily transition services to other cloud vendors, and is a growing concern with hyperscalers whose services are delivered through proprietary software and their specific APIs that are based on open standards.

If your organisation values control over critical infrastructure, better alignment with the regulator, and needs to quickly adapt to any future business needs, CloudPe might be the right choice for you.

While hyperscalers continue to have a place in the marketplace, for businesses where the flexibility to choose the best solution matters for business continuity and your competitive edge, it makes perfect sense to have the cloud option open as you move forward.

ST Correspondent — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 10:43:04 +0530

A Landmark Achievement Reinforcing Excellence, Trust, and Professionalism in India’s Logistics Sector

New Delhi [India], October 11: Today marks a historic and proud milestone for Om Packers & Movers, one of India’s most trusted logistics and relocation service providers. The Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) has officially recognized the company as a “Recommended Transport Operator” under its highly respected initiative – The IBA Scheme for Recommending Transport Operators to Member Banks.

This recognition stands as a symbol of credibility, operational excellence, and trustworthiness, earned through years of consistent performance, transparency, and customer-centric service. Under this certification, Om Packers & Movers has been allotted the official code GZO-2596, effective from October 8, 2025, and valid until October 31, 2028. During this period, the company will remain listed as an approved transport operator for all IBA member banks across India.

A Landmark Moment for the Indian Logistics Industry

The Indian Banks’ Association’s recommendation is not simply an approval – it is a prestigious endorsement of integrity and professionalism within India’s logistics and transport ecosystem. This achievement underscores that Om Packers & Movers has successfully cleared the IBA’s stringent multi-stage evaluation process, meeting every operational, safety, and compliance standard set by the association.

According to the IBA’s official notification, the approval was granted after a comprehensive verification process, which included in-depth scrutiny of the company’s business ethics, operational performance, client feedback, documentation protocols, and compliance record.

As per the association’s directive, the company is required to print the validity period of the certification on all its Lorry Receipts (LRs) in the prescribed format. This mandate ensures uniformity and transparency in every transaction and documentation process involving banks and corporate clients.

Recognition Built on Trust, Punctuality, and Service Excellence

Over the past two decades, Om Packers & Movers has emerged as a nationally recognized logistics leader, renowned for its reliable, safe, and punctual transport and relocation services. What began as a regional operation in Northern India has now evolved into a pan-India network serving individuals, corporates, and industrial clients with equal dedication and efficiency.

The company’s commitment to punctual delivery, customer satisfaction, and responsible service has earned it a distinguished position in the logistics industry. Whether handling domestic relocations, industrial consignments, or banking-related transport operations, Om Packers & Movers has maintained high standards of professionalism and ethics at every step.

The IBA’s endorsement is therefore viewed as a natural validation of the company’s unwavering commitment to quality, compliance, and client satisfaction.

IBA Commends Compliance and Standards

In its statement, the Indian Banks’ Association emphasized that this recognition was granted only after verifying the company’s adherence to all compliance and operational benchmarks. The association highlighted that this certification is solely intended for the use of IBA member banks, ensuring secure, standardized, and transparent transport operations for financial and banking transactions.

The IBA also issued a clear advisory that no third-party agent or intermediary is authorized to represent or act on its behalf during this certification process. All communications must be conducted exclusively through IBA’s official channels, maintaining the integrity of the association’s framework.

This structured and transparent approach aims to protect the interests of both banks and customers, while also promoting professional accountability within the logistics and transport sector.

A Message from the Company: Pride, Gratitude, and Determination

Speaking on this occasion, the management of Om Packers & Movers expressed immense pride and gratitude, calling this achievement a defining moment in the company’s journey.

In a statement, the company’s leadership said:

“We are deeply honored to receive this official recognition from the Indian Banks’ Association.

The management reaffirmed that this recognition will inspire the company to strengthen its systems, adopt advanced technologies, and enhance service delivery to meet the growing demands of modern logistics.

Strengthening India’s Financial and Logistics Ecosystem

The IBA’s Transport Operator Recommendation Scheme plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap between financial institutions and reliable logistics partners. It ensures that banks can conduct operations like lending against goods, collateral transport, and other financial transactions with minimal risk and maximum transparency.

By earning this recognition, Om Packers & Movers now joins an elite group of logistics companies that serve as trusted partners to India’s banking and corporate sectors. This inclusion not only enhances the company’s credibility but also opens avenues for collaboration in the finance, manufacturing, retail, and infrastructure domains.

Australia: A Premier Destination for International Students

ST Correspondent — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 20:21:14 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 6: Australia is consistently among the world’s top study destinations — a powerful combination of high-quality universities, industry-linked curriculum, a multicultural student community and clear post-study pathways. Azent’s Priyanka Nishar (Founder & Managing Director) explains what sets Australia apart and the holistic experience it offers which makes Australia an excellent choice for graduate study.

1. What makes Australia a premier destination?

Several factors set Australia apart. Its universities regularly appear in global rankings and are renowned for research, teaching quality and international outlook — making degrees from Australia highly respected worldwide. Major research universities such as the University of Melbourne, ANU, UNSW, Monash and the University of Queensland feature in top global lists.

Beyond rankings, Australia offers:

Strong industry connections and work-integrated learning (internships, industry projects and placements) that improve employability.
Jobs and Skills Australia
A safe, multicultural society and vibrant student life across cities like Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.
Transparent student supports (counselling, career services) and regulated education standards overseen by government bodies.
Work rights for student visa holders (limited working hours during study, with pathways after graduation to live and work temporarily).

2. What are some recommended courses and universities for graduate study?

Which course is “best” depends on your career goals, but in 2025 the highest-demand sectors and popular graduate programs include:

Information Technology & Data Science (AI, cybersecurity, data analytics) — strong industry demand and many universities offer specialist master’s programs.
Engineering & Built Environment (civil, electrical, software, environmental engineering).
Health & Allied Health (nursing, public health, physiotherapy) — very strong demand across states.
Business & Management (MBA, specialized management) — wide employer networks and internships.
Research degrees (MPhil/PhD) for those pursuing academic or R&D careers.

For institutional reputation and research strength, consider the Group of Eight (research-intensive) and other top-ranked universities: University of Melbourne, ANU, UNSW Sydney, University of Sydney, Monash University, University of Queensland and others. Each has distinct strengths by faculty and subject area, so match your discipline to the university’s subject ranking and industry links. Degrees earned here are recognised worldwide, giving graduates an edge in competitive job markets back home or elsewhere abroad.

But academic ranking tells only part of the story. Students are drawn to Australia’s clear emphasis on practical, industry-linked education. Many master’s and professional programs incorporate internships, research partnerships and work-integrated learning, ensuring that graduates are not just well-read but also work-ready. This close connection to industry has been particularly beneficial in areas like IT, data science, healthcare and engineering — sectors where Australian employers face acute skill shortages and actively seek qualified professionals.

3. Briefly take us through the admissions process and fee structure?

The road to admission is straightforward but competitive. Most master’s programs require a relevant undergraduate degree with solid academic performance.

•⁠ Choose course & university: shortlist programs by curriculum, industry tie-ups, location and scholarships.

•⁠ Check entry requirements: most master’s programs ask for a relevant bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) and a competitive GPA; some professional programs require work experience (e.g., MBA).

•⁠ ⁠English proficiency: IELTS, TOEFL or PTE scores are commonly required; minimums vary by program.

•⁠ Documents: transcripts, CV, statement of purpose, references, portfolio (for creative courses) and any professional certificates.

•⁠ ⁠⁠The Genuine Student (GS) assessment must be cleared with the university, which includes successfully completing the university interview and meeting the financial requirements.

•⁠ Apply online via each university’s portal. If accepted, the university will issue an Offer Letter, and once you accept it, clear a genuine student assessment, and pay the deposit, a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) will be issued

Fee structure

International master’s tuition in Australia commonly ranges from ~AUD 22,000 to AUD 50,000 per year, depending on discipline and university; professional degrees (e.g., MBA, medicine, dentistry) can be higher. Living costs vary by city — Sydney and Melbourne are usually pricier than regional cities.

4. What are the visa and pre-arrival costs?

To obtain a student visa you’ll need proof of financial capacity. Recent government guidance requires applicants to show minimum savings (commonly quoted around A$29,710 as a baseline for living costs), though amounts and evidentiary requirements can change — confirm the latest Home Affairs guidance before applying. You must also purchase Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of your stay unless exempt.

5. Explain the work prospects in Australia?

Work opportunities, however, make Australia particularly appealing. International students are permitted to work part-time during their studies, traditionally capped at 48 hours per fortnight. This allows them to offset living expenses and gain local work experience. More importantly, after completing their degrees, graduates may be eligible for a Temporary Graduate visa, which allows them to live and work in Australia for a defined period. The duration depends on the qualification obtained and government policy settings, but it provides valuable time to gain international work experience and, in some cases, explore pathways to longer-term residence.

6. How can Azent help prospective students?

Azent has carved a niche for itself by going beyond traditional consultancy services, providing unwavering commitment to student success, through its innovative approach, and personalized services. We offer a wide range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of students.

BVLGARI Reveals The Serpenti Infinito Exhibition: A Dialogue Between Jewelry & Art

ST Correspondent — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 13:36:32 +0530

L-R _ Lucia Silvestri – Jewelry Executive Creative Director, Bvlgari, Priyanka Chopra Jonas – Global Brand Ambassador, Bvlgari and Jean-Christophe Babin – CEO, Bvlgari

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 1: For the first time in India, Bvlgari celebrates art, culture, and craftsmanship through a powerful tribute to the transformative nature of its Serpenti icon.

Bvlgari, The Magnificent Roman High jeweller and icon of contemporary Italian art of living, continues to celebrate the Year of the Snake by unveiling the Serpenti Infinito exhibition in India at the Art House, Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, BKC, Mumbai. The exhibition opens with an exclusive preview inaugurated by Bvlgari’s Global Brand Ambassador, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, on October 1st 2025, and will welcome the public from October 2nd to October 17th 2025. This edition will feature over 75 works by 23 acclaimed Indian and international artists, including a major immersive experience, Infinito: AI Data Sculpture by Refik Anadol, a three-dimensional AI-powered dynamic installation set within a 360-degree mirrored room.

Following its successful chapters in Shanghai and Seoul earlier this year, the India edition of Serpenti Infinito continues to explore the infinite transformations of Bvlgari’s iconic Serpenti through the lenses of art, history, and contemporary expression. Since its debut in 1948, the snake has embodied Bvlgari’s spirit of reinvention, vitality, and perpetual transformation. Bvlgari’s identity is deeply intertwined with its longstanding relationship with India, which has long served as a source of inspiration and a partner in creativity and craftsmanship. Here, the icon finds profound cultural meaning in the nāga, a symbol of strength, protection, and renewal deeply woven into Indian mythology, art, and tradition. This edition brings the cross-cultural dialogue in its most expansive form, uniting Roman artistry with India’s rich symbolic heritage.

“India has always been a profound source of inspiration for Bvlgari, thanks to its rich history, exceptional craftsmanship, and deep cultural heritage,” says Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari. “The decision to bring Serpenti Infinito to Mumbai is more than just a launch; it’s a meaningful celebration of the dialogue between our timeless Roman roots and India’s vibrant artistic traditions. This journey not only reinforces Serpenti as an emblematic symbol of Bvlgari’s identity but also elevates it as a universal icon of continuous reinvention, creativity, and enduring elegance.

Curated by Nature Morte, one of India’s foremost galleries founded by Peter Nagy and Aparajita Jain, and envisioned by Artistic Director Sean Anderson, the exhibition creates a powerful dialogue between heritage, artistry, and cultural exchange. Among the 23 acclaimed Indian and international artists on view are Alicja Kwade, Amit Mahadev Dombhare, Arinjoy Sen, Baua Devi, Banku Chitrakar, Bharti Kher, Enter Projects, Harshit Agrawal, L.N. Tallur, L. Rathakrishnan, Moumita Das, Olivia Fraser, Pors & Rao, Pramodbabu Ramteke, R Srinivasan, Radha Sollur, Reena Saini Kallat, Rithika Merchant, Sayan Chanda, Simryn Gill, Sonsay Kashyap, Subodh Gupta, and Sunita and Yamini Nayar.

“The Serpenti Infinito exhibition provides the setting for powerful cultural exchange, uniting Rome and India through a shared appreciation for the serpent as a timeless symbol of renewal and transformation. By weaving together Bvlgari’s Serpenti collection with historical, modern, and contemporary art inspired by the nāga, we are celebrating how centuries-old aesthetic relationships can create compelling and resonant stories today.” Sean Anderson, Artistic Director of Nature Morte

Embracing the many creative dimensions of Serpenti’s multifaceted identity, the exhibition unfolds across three chapters. Chapter I, Crafting Serpents in History, dives into the icon’s deep symbolic significance within Indian mythology and tradition. Chapter II: A Mythic Presence examines the enduring cultural relevance of the nāga across modern, contemporary, and indigenous artistic practices. Chapter III: Infinite Transformations looks ahead, exploring the concept of Infinito through a visionary lens of technology and future-facing creativity. Together, these chapters span the floors of the Art House at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, a space envisioned as the epicentre of Indian and global art. With its distinctive architecture and immersive design, it offers a dynamic setting for this landmark cross-cultural exchange.

And while the snake unveils the multiple roles and significances it has taken and keeps taking through Indian culture, tradition and art, Bvlgari’s Serpenti unfolds the infinite potential behind its magnificent craftsmanship, versatile nature and always evolving designs with a magnificent selection from Bvlgari Heritage, watches and fine jewelry collections, including some unreleased High Jewelry one-of-a-kind creations, on display in the exhibition. Visitors are invited to encounter the interconnected traces of the serpent, brought to life through a diverse array of works ranging from historic and contemporary interpretations to technology-driven installations and immersive environments.

“India is and will always be home, so seeing Serpenti Infinito come here for the very first time feels incredibly special,” says Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Global Brand Ambassador for Bvlgari. “This exhibition is a beautiful tribute to transformation, heritage, and artistic expression; values that resonate deeply with both Bvlgari and the Indian spirit. I’m so proud to be part of this moment where a global icon meets the soul of my homeland.”

“At the Art House at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, our vision is to bring the finest of Indian and international art together. Hosting Bvlgari’s Serpenti Infinito in India is an opportunity to celebrate a shared legacy of art, culture, and creative excellence,” says Isha Ambani, Director, Reliance Industries Limited. “This collaboration is the first of its kind and marks a meaningful dialogue between India and Bvlgari.”

Chapter I – Crafting Serpents in History

Across millennia, the serpent has held deep symbolic meaning in the mythology, art, and daily life of India and South Asia. Appearing in architecture, rituals, and storytelling, it transcends cultures as a symbol of auspiciousness, transformation, and renewal.

Since 1948, the layered symbolism of the Serpenti motif has been a continuous source of inspiration for the Roman Maison. That year marked the debut of Bvlgari’s first Serpenti creations, jewellery-watches designed to wrap elegantly around the wrist. Over the decades, the Serpenti emblem has undergone constant reinvention, exploring a vast array of techniques, styles, and materials. Whether tubular, gem-encrusted, adorned with vibrant enamels, or crafted using pioneering goldsmithing methods, each evolution tells a story.

This narrative is brought to life through 11 remarkable pieces from the Bvlgari Heritage Collection on display at the exhibition. Highlights include the sleek Serpenti Tubogas jewelry watches of the 1960s, a striking contemporary yellow gold Serpenti belt inspired by a 1970s original and dazzling multicoloured designs from the same era. Among the most iconic is the five-coil Serpenti Pallini bracelet-watch in yellow gold with a diamond-set head, dating back to around 1955. Together, these masterpieces offer a deep dive into over 70 years of stylistic transformation—each one a tribute to cultural influences and a testament to Bvlgari’s bold innovation in design, materials, and craftsmanship.

This chapter also explores the serpent’s mythic and spiritual dimensions as a guardian, unifier, and catalyst for awakening. Highlights include rare manuscripts such as the 15th-century Sapta Nadi Tantric Text, where the nāga form signals water and rivers, while suggesting inter-relationships among the natural and divine world. The 17th-century Nag-yash Yantra is a geometric diagram associated with the serpent deities. The exquisite metalworks with more decorative and ritualistic representations, as seen in the Bhuta Theyyam Breastplate and Masks, are used in rituals in Southern India. The 108 Karanas of Natyashastra by R Srinivasan and L. Rathakrishnan are inspired by the visual and metaphoric dynamism of Shiva Nataraja iconography, and emulate the serpent in movement, practice, and symbolism among ancient dance forms.

Chapter II – A Mythic Presence

Celebrating continuities across modern and indigenous artistic practices. This chapter explores the enduring and evolving cultural resonance of the serpent, particularly the nāga, as a symbol of wisdom, protection, power, and transformation. Highlights include artist Bharti Kher’s Medusa (2025), a sculptural figure referencing ancient Greek mythology that merges with Indian saris coated in resin; the figure is a cypher for the interplay of tradition and modernity. Padma Shri awardee Baua Devi’s Bal Basant (2005) in the bharni style of Madhubani and Mithila districts of Bihar, builds upon one of the community’s shared narratives describing fertility motifs found among traditional kohbar or snakes. Visual artist Rithika Merchant (2024) presents a set of three works, including Zoomorph II, 2024, inspired by Greek mythic storytelling. Here, the presence of Euronyme or the Greek Gaia is conceived as laying a world egg and then ordering a cosmic snake to protect and encircle it until hatched.

In a special collaboration with The Aravani Art Project, nine original postcard artworks reinterpret the serpent as a symbol of resilience, transformation, and lived experience. Presented as part of Bvlgari’s ongoing commitment to inclusion and empowerment, these works celebrate art as a space for expression and becoming.

The Art Of High Jewelry: India Edition

Chapter II unveils a radiant fusion of Roman mastery and Indian mystique through exceptional one-of-a-kind Serpenti High Jewelry creations. More than breathtaking displays of craftsmanship, these masterpieces embody an intimate dialogue between mythology, memory, and metamorphosis.

At the heart of the collection is the Serpenti Maharani Secret necklace, a regal creation that pays homage to the legendary queens of India. Inspired by the symbolic power of the Maharani, the secret sovereigns of ancient kingdoms, this necklace coils around the neck with commanding elegance. A spellbinding 109.27-carat cabochon rubellite pulses at its centre, its deep pink hues echoing the passionate soul of its muse. Modular segments ensure fluidity and transformability, while turquoise inlays and pavé-set diamonds lend both softness and sparkle, capturing the heartbeat of royalty in every detail.

Equally mesmerising is the Serpenti Apsaras necklace, a tribute to the mythical celestial nymphs known for their shape-shifting seduction. Crafted in warm yellow gold, this enchanting piece is composed of 60 modular elements that undulate like divine movement. Amethysts channel twilight skies, while turquoise inserts honor the 26 Apsaras of Indra’s court. Its true magic lies in its metamorphic nature, two serpent heads detach to become standalone earrings, and rare East African tsavorites may be added for a bolder transformation, capturing the ever-changing essence of divine femininity.

In a vibrant ode to India’s chromatic soul, the Serpenti Saffron Dew necklace is a golden hymn to morning light and nature’s palette. Inspired by the sacredness of saffron and the serenity of imperial gardens, the piece marries yellow gold with deep green malachite and sparkling pavé-set diamonds that mimic dew glistening at dawn. The centrepiece – a rare 18.80-carat mandarin garnet in a fiery orange hue dangles delicately from the serpent’s mouth, while emerald eyes whisper tales of abundance and fertility.

The collection’s most elemental tribute arrives with the Serpenti Divine Monsoon necklace, a sensorial homage to India’s rain-soaked landscapes. Sinuous serpents crafted from microsphere-textured rose gold undulate across the neckline, their skins shimmering with tanzanites, green tourmalines, rubies, and rose-cut diamonds, each stone a raindrop, each scale a memory. With over 450 individually welded gold plates, this piece is a living artefact of centuries-old savoir-faire, animated by the legacy of Mughal opulence and the poetry of the monsoon.

The Serpenti Emerald Fantasy High Jewelry set by Bvlgari is a striking expression of innovation and craftsmanship, inspired by the teardrop shape of a central emerald found in the serpent’s head. Featuring a 3.40-carat Colombian emerald in the necklace and a 3.77-carat emerald in the bracelet, both pieces are crafted in rose gold and adorned with turquoise, pavé-set diamonds, and emerald eyes. The design showcases a rich interplay of textures, colors, and materials, with a fluid, tubular form that elegantly wraps around the neck and wrist, echoing the serpent’s sinuous beauty.

Spirituality and symbolism intertwine in the Serpenti Ananta Shesha necklace, a dramatic expression of divine infinity inspired by the serpent king of Indian mythology who cradles the cosmos. This rose gold creation features five coiling serpents that weave a continuous, seamless form, a celestial embrace representing eternal rebirth. Pavé-set diamonds (42.88 ct) shimmer across the piece like stardust, while turquoise and onyx accents highlight the rhythmic fluidity of the snake’s motion. The matching brooch mirrors this mythical energy, with two interlocked serpents guarding the mysteries of transformation.

Lastly, the Serpenti Jaipur Mirage necklace draws us into the architectural majesty and sensory warmth of India’s Pink City. With onyx accents evoking the latticework of Hawa Mahal and bufl-top rubies representing hidden desires, the piece unfolds like a journey through Jaipur’s royal heritage. A rare 20.07-carat Imperial Topaz glows at its core, its hues of golden orange and sacred pink echoing the colors of a Rajasthani sunset. Flexible, sculptural, and deeply poetic, the necklace is an exquisite mirage of light, structure, and soul.

Together, these spectacular Serpenti High Jewelry creations breathe new life into a timeless icon, redefining beauty through the prism of Indian identity and Italian innovation. Each coil, each gem, each story is a reminder that transformation is not just possible–it is eternal.

Chapter III – Infinite Transformation

The nāga is a shape-shifter constantly reinventing itself across mediums, mythologies, and meanings. Whether cast in bronze, drawn across national borders, floating as a kite, or slipping through digital screens, it embodies both form and fluidity. As guardian, symbol of hope, and bearer of dreams, the serpent represents a powerful convergence of the spiritual and aesthetic.

This third chapter is also a beginning, an invitation for Indian and International artists to explore new intersections between contemporary art and jewelry design. Just as Bvlgari reimagines infinity through its High Jewelry collection and the iconic Tubogas technique, where gemstones trace endless, serpentine paths, the works in this section express the infinite through artistic innovation and imagination.

Spanning mixed media, sculpture, AI, and immersive technology, the artists draw on the nāga’s hybrid nature to explore myth, memory, and transformation. Highlights include: Subodh Gupta’s Infinite Sleeper (2025), a sculpture in bronze and brass evoking Ananta Shesha as both protector and progenitor; Enter Projects’ Rattan Snake (2025), a sweeping on-site architectural intervention inspired by the serpent’s form and organic movement; and Harshit Agrawal’s VR installation that transforms the viewer into a serpent in a metaphoric field of poppies, exploring the depletion of the natural world at the hands of digital colonialism.

At the heart of the chapter is Infinito: AI Data Sculpture by Refik Anadol – a 360° mirrored environment shaped by machine learning algorithms trained on natural snake forms. Through shifting light and reflection, the installation immerses viewers in the serpentine rhythm of evolution, celebrating the harmony of nature, technology, and Bvlgari’s timeless symbol of metamorphosis.

Exhibition Dates: October 2 to 17, 2025
Venue: Art House, Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, BKC, Mumbai

Brihaspathi Technologies Limited: The Indian Company Turning AI into Real-World Security

ST Correspondent — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 21:03:14 +0530

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 27: Hyderabad-based Brihaspathi Technologies Limited (BTL) is quietly powering India’s AI-driven security and automation shift. From election webcasting to Aadhaar-linked attendance and AI traffic pilots, BTL blends hardware, software, and on-ground execution—showing how computer vision moves from lab demos to high-stakes, real-world deployments that shape daily life across India.

Why This Story Matters?

If you live in India, there’s a decent chance your day brushes up against Brihaspathi Technologies Limited. The Hyderabad company sits at the busy intersection of AI, cameras, connectivity, and public infrastructure. From webcasting elections to building city traffic pilots and rolling out Aadhaar-linked attendance, BTL is part of a shift where computer vision and automation move from lab demos to messy, high-stakes streets.

What BTL Actually Does?

Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Hyderabad, BTL builds and integrates security tech across sectors: AI CCTV, election webcasting, command centres, biometric attendance, smart buses and police vehicles, VMS software, networking gear, and solar-powered “smart poles.” The company also develops enterprise software (ERP/CRM), communications platforms for SMS/WhatsApp/IVR, and IT and telecom rollouts. It positions itself as a one-stop shop that can supply cameras and servers, write the software, wire the network, and run the project.

A big part of that stack is hardware the company markets under its own brands. TrinAI is the camera line tied to AI video analytics, sold as a BTL unit with its own site and positioning. The company materials also highlight laptops and all-in-ones via ANWI, plus networking racks under the Technorack banner.

On the software side, BTL promotes a VMS that handles video ingest, search, and secure sharing, along with analytics such as people and vehicle detection, face recognition, ANPR, intrusion alerts, fall detection, and space monitoring. The same catalogue lists ERP and communications tools for sales, service, marketing, and alerts at scale.

What It has Shipped So Far?

The companies past few years read like a map of where India is adding machine vision.

Elections and webcasting. BTL has supplied cameras, trackers, and command centers for state and national votes, and it publishes a 2024 general-election case study on its site. Public procurement footprints also show the firm surfacing in tenders and results for webcasting work.
City traffic pilots. In July 2025, the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation ran “Project SARTHI,” a one-month pilot of AI traffic systems. BTL was one of five vendors given junctions to manage, with ANPR, red-light violation detection, and face recognition in the mix.
Biometric attendance with Aadhaar. The company markets Aadhaar-integrated devices with OTP validation, anti-spoofing face checks, dashboards, and WhatsApp/SMS alerts for schools and government departments.
Wildlife and border work. Company posts and case studies point to projects such as thermal and ANPR camera deployments in Kaziranga National Park, aimed at spotting movement and number plates in a sensitive habitat.
Manufacturing push. BTL has been public about building out a camera manufacturing unit in Hyderabad under the TrinAI brand, citing in-house R&D and production.
Funding and contracts. In June 2025, The New Indian Express reported that BTL raised USD 10 million, won a Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation surveillance contract, and is eyeing an IPO in FY 2026–27. The same report quotes management on national-scale deployments and hiring plans.

The company’s own brochure adds colour on scale claims across elections, education exams, and banking, and lists sector clients ranging from the Election Commission and BSF to IOCL, DRDO labs, hospitals, and universities.

The Tech Throughline: Computer Vision that Earns its Keep

“AI CCTV” can sound like buzz. BTL’s projects show where it becomes practical:

Election webcasting turns poll booths into networked video nodes. When combined with GPS trackers on vehicles and centralized command rooms, administrators can watch activity live, flag incidents, and pull footage quickly for disputes. The Election Commission itself has been moving toward wall-to-wall poll-day webcasting, which creates tailwinds for integrators that can deploy fast at scale.
City traffic is a natural fit for vision AI. ANPR helps with violations and blacklists, red-light detection cuts signal jumping, and near-real-time video gives police a way to coordinate without waiting for manual reports. Visakhapatnam’s pilot illustrates how municipalities test multiple vendors side by side before standardizing citywide.
Aadhaar-aware attendance pairs face and OTP checks with parent notifications and dashboards. It’s less about gadgets and more about closing loops: “Was Ravi at school today?” becomes a verifiable log with a message to a parent’s phone.
Solar smart poles decouple surveillance from grid and trenching constraints. With a panel, battery, radios, and cameras on the same mast, a city can stand up coverage in places where fiber would take months. Company materials pitch exactly that model.

Numbers, with Context:

Company literature puts the camera tally in the “millions” and maps a footprint across banks, campuses, plants, and government sites.

Independent press coverage this summer cited 12 lakh deployed cameras and highlighted wins like the MSRTC network. Different counts pop up because vendors measure deployments in various ways: total cameras shipped, unique sites commissioned, or cameras observed in a single campaign such as exams or polling. The useful takeaway is less the exact number and more the repeatability of large rollouts across states and sectors.

Why it Matters for India’s AI Story?

BTL is part of a cohort of Indian firms that don’t just write code; they own last-mile delivery. That matters for AI because video analytics is only as good as the camera angles, uptime, backhaul, and operator workflows that sit around the model. The company’s blend of in-house hardware (TrinAI), software (VMS and ERP), and field teams lets it take responsibility for outcomes in places where off-the-shelf gear falls short.

There’s also a Make-in-India angle. Building cameras, racks, and end-to-end systems locally can shorten lead times and keep sensitive data within Indian infrastructure. The push into a Hyderabad plant and the funding to scale manufacturing suggest that’s the direction of travel.

If you’re tracking Indian AI, keep the name BTL in your notes. The company has shown it can wire up complex, real-world deployments where the stakes are high and the feedback is instant. That’s where useful AI earns trust.

The international dignitaries reaffirmed Blum’s commitment to translating the European innovation into locally relevant solutions to elevate quality of living. Blum reiterated its focus on strengthening the consumer experience, enhancing technical and after-sales support, accelerating its dealer and distribution network and investing further into India’s growing furniture fittings landscape.

Philipp Blum, Managing Director of the Blum Group, emphasised Blum’s core values as its strength and differentiating factor while sharing, “At heart, we’re an Austrian brand shaped by the values that my grandfather brought in when he founded the company in 1952. The way he grew with the company really shaped the values of the company. We really want the company to be here for our employees and our customers. Blum will continue to focus on innovation, on quality, on being curious and explorative, and we hold on to those values because we think that makes us strong.”

Philipp placed strong emphasis on sustainability as core to Blum’s identity and India as one of its most promising markets. He stated, “Sustainability is also at the heart of our mission. We think the longer you use a product, the better it is. Our products last a kitchen lifetime, and we make sure they are of very high quality. We also take care of how we operate as a company. We use hydro energy in Austria. We transport our goods via rail to reduce our footprint. And we strive to balance ecological and economic growth. We’ve invested a lot in India over the years, and there’s still much more to go. The Indian market holds great potential for us, and Blum is committed to continuing its work here as we expand and evolve.”

Maarten de Vries, the Regional Director for Blum Asia-Pacific, brought India’s growing significance within the APAC region to light, saying “India currently is one of our largest markets within the APAC region. We see the Indian market growing very fast, and it definitely has a larger impact. India is a sub-region by itself, with particular needs, and we are here to tailor our offerings to those needs. We work very closely with our Indian staff and customers to continue developing our presence in the country. We are committed to strengthening our partnerships and expanding our footprint here.”

Expanding on his vision for India, Maarten underscored, “The market has huge potential, and as we grow, India will play an increasingly important role within our region and our organisation. We also try to find a balance between being a Western company and integrating Indian elements into our approach, such as having our local technicians to serve Indian customers. This is something we specifically do in India and not elsewhere. So, we really see India as a market that requires close attention, flexibility, and strong local partnerships to succeed.”

Rising Obesity Among Indian Women Threatens Fertility: Dr. S. Vyjayanthi Weighs In

ST Correspondent — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 10:26:36 +0530

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 25: Nearly 50% of Indian women aged between 35 and 49 years are now classified as overweight or obese, according to a recent study reported by The Times of India. The findings raise critical questions about women’s reproductive health and fertility outcomes, especially as more couples in urban India turn to assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF.

Dr. S. Vyjayanthi, internationally renowned Fertility Specialist and Director of MotherToBe Fertility Centre, explains that obesity has a direct and multi-faceted impact on reproductive health. “Obesity affects ovulation, egg quality, and even the receptivity of the uterus. Women with higher body mass index (BMI) often face irregular menstrual cycles, higher prevalence of PCOS, and lower IVF success rates,” she said.

The Link Between Obesity and Fertility

Medical research indicates that obesity disrupts hormonal balance, leading to excess insulin and androgens, both of which interfere with egg development. This not only lowers the chances of natural conception but also diminishes IVF outcomes.

“In obese women, ovarian stimulation requires higher doses of fertility medications, and yet the egg yield and quality may remain poor. Implantation rates are lower, and miscarriage risks are higher compared to women within a healthy BMI range,” Dr. Vyjayanthi noted.

PCOS and Obesity – A Double Burden

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a leading cause of infertility among Indian women, is strongly associated with obesity. Excess body fat worsens insulin resistance and triggers more severe PCOS symptoms.

Dr. Vyjayanthi emphasized that “Obesity and PCOS together create a vicious cycle, where one condition aggravates the other. Women may experience irregular periods, excessive hair growth, acne, and difficulty conceiving. Addressing weight management is often the first crucial step in improving fertility in PCOS patients.”

Lifestyle, Diet, and Weight Loss Strategies

Encouragingly, even modest weight loss of 5–10% can significantly improve fertility outcomes. Dr. Vyjayanthi advocates a holistic approach that combines diet, exercise, and medical support where needed.

She advises:

Balanced Diet: Focus on whole grains, lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, and foods with a low glycemic index.
Regular Physical Activity: At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week can help regulate hormones and improve ovulation.
Stress Management: Practices such as yoga and mindfulness reduce cortisol levels, which indirectly support fertility.
Medical Supervision: For women with PCOS or severe obesity, guided weight management programs may include medications or, in select cases, bariatric surgery before attempting fertility treatments.

Why Obesity Matters in IVF

IVF success rates are significantly lower in obese women compared to women of healthy weight. Embryo transfer outcomes, pregnancy rates, and live birth rates all decline as BMI increases.

“At MotherToBe Fertility, we encourage patients to achieve their best possible health before starting IVF. Our team supports women with nutrition guidance, exercise counseling, and endocrinology input to optimize their chances of success,” Dr. Vyjayanthi shared.

As obesity rates rise in India, fertility specialists stress the urgent need for awareness. With delayed motherhood becoming more common among working women, Dr. Vyjayanthi believes education and preventive measures are key.

“Fertility is not just about technology like IVF; it’s also about overall health. By addressing lifestyle factors such as obesity early, women can preserve their fertility, improve pregnancy outcomes, and safeguard long-term health,” she concluded.

How Plant Protein Supports Weight Loss and Muscle Gain?

ST Correspondent — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 19:37:05 +0530

New Delhi [India], September 15: In today’s fast-paced world, health and fitness have become more than just trends—they are essential aspects of a sustainable lifestyle. Whether your goal is to shed excess weight, sculpt lean muscles, or simply feel more energized throughout the day, nutrition plays a critical role in determining your success. Traditionally, animal protein has been considered the “gold standard” for building muscle and supporting weight management. However, more and more people are turning to plant-based protein sources, not only for ethical and environmental reasons but also for their unique health benefits.

Plant protein is no longer seen as an inferior option; research now highlights its powerful role in weight control, muscle development, and overall well-being. Derived from sources such as legumes, seeds, grains, and protein powders, plant protein provides essential amino acids, fiber, and micronutrients that enhance satiety, support digestion, and fuel the body effectively. Beyond the physical benefits, plant protein also contributes to reduced risk of chronic disease and promotes a cleaner, more sustainable approach to nutrition.

Weight Loss Benefits of Plant Protein

Keeps You Fuller for Longer

One of the biggest challenges when trying to lose weight is dealing with hunger pangs and cravings. Plant proteins are often rich in dietary fiber, which slows digestion and helps you stay fuller for longer. For example, lentils, chickpeas, and quinoa not only provide protein but also deliver fiber that regulates blood sugar levels, preventing sudden spikes and crashes that often trigger overeating. Feeling satisfied after meals reduces the temptation to snack unnecessarily, making it easier to stick to a calorie deficit.

Boosts Metabolism Through the Thermic Effect of Food

Protein—whether from plants or animals—requires more energy for digestion compared to carbohydrates or fats. This is called the thermic effect of food (TEF). Since your body burns more calories to process protein, adding more plant protein to your meals helps naturally boost metabolism. Over time, this additional calorie expenditure can support fat loss while preserving lean mass.

Supports Healthy Digestion and Gut Health

Unlike many animal proteins, plant-based sources often come packed with prebiotic fiber that feeds healthy gut bacteria. A balanced gut microbiome has been linked to better metabolism, reduced fat storage, and more efficient nutrient absorption. This means that not only do plant proteins help with weight loss directly, but they also optimize your digestive system to work in your favor.

Aids Long-Term Weight Management

Unlike restrictive crash diets that often lead to rebound weight gain, plant protein supports sustainable weight loss. It reduces inflammation, lowers cholesterol, and improves overall metabolic health, all of which play a role in maintaining a healthy weight long-term.

Muscle Gain with Plant Protein

Provides Adequate Protein for Muscle Growth

To build muscle effectively, it’s essential to consume enough protein daily. Fitness experts recommend around 1.2–1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. With the right combinations of plant-based foods—such as beans with rice or pea protein powder—you can easily meet these targets. Plant protein supplies the necessary amino acids that fuel muscle repair and promote hypertrophy after strength training.

Complete Amino Acid Profiles with the Right Combinations

While some plant sources may be lower in certain amino acids like lysine or methionine, combining different sources ensures a complete profile. For instance, pairing rice (low in lysine but high in methionine) with beans (low in methionine but high in lysine) creates a well-rounded amino acid supply. Today, many plant-based protein powders are specially formulated to provide complete amino acid profiles, including leucine, which is critical for triggering muscle protein synthesis.

Backed by Research

Recent studies confirm that when consumed in adequate amounts, plant proteins can be just as effective as animal proteins in promoting muscle growth. With regular resistance training, athletes using pea or soy protein powders have experienced similar gains in lean muscle mass compared to those consuming whey protein. This makes plant protein a valid and powerful alternative for bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts alike.

Sustained Energy and Recovery

Plant protein powder often digests more slowly than animal proteins, offering a steady release of amino acids over time. This can be especially beneficial for post-workout recovery, where the body needs a constant supply of nutrients to repair muscle tissue and reduce soreness. Additionally, the antioxidants found in many plant foods help combat exercise-induced inflammation, further aiding recovery and performance.

Best Sources of Protein

If you’re looking to boost your protein intake from plants, here are some of the top choices:

Legumes – Lentils, chickpeas, and black beans are affordable, protein-rich, and versatile in cooking.
Seeds – Hemp, pumpkin, chia, and flax seeds provide protein, omega-3s, and fiber, making them nutrient-dense options.
Soy Products – Tofu, tempeh, and edamame are complete protein sources and excellent meat substitutes.
Quinoa – One of the few plant foods that naturally contains all essential amino acids.
Pea Protein Powder – Highly digestible and rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), making it an excellent choice for athletes.
Nut Butters – Almond or peanut butter adds both protein and healthy fats to meals and snacks.

Practical Tips for Adding More Protein

Plan Balanced Meals – Combine grains and legumes for a full amino acid profile.
Snack Smart – Replace chips or cookies with roasted chickpeas, hummus with veggies, or a handful of seeds.
Upgrade Your Smoothies – Add a scoop of plant-based protein powder, nut butter, or chia seeds to your shakes.
Experiment with Plant-Based Recipes – Try lentil curries, bean burgers, or quinoa salads to keep meals exciting.
Prioritize Post-Workout Nutrition – A protein-rich smoothie or tofu stir-fry after exercise can maximize recovery and muscle growth.

Summary

Plant protein is not just for vegans or vegetarians—it’s for anyone who wants to support weight loss, improve muscle strength, and adopt a healthier lifestyle. From enhancing satiety and boosting metabolism to fueling muscle growth and recovery, plant-based proteins deliver results that rival traditional animal proteins. With the right combinations and quality sources, they can provide all the essential nutrients your body needs to thrive.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 5: Bvlgari, the Roman High Jeweler, is set to debut Serpenti Infinito in Mumbai, India, marking the third edition of the exhibition after Shanghai and Seoul, continuing its celebration of the Year of the Snake. In a first for India, the Maison will unveil a groundbreaking, multi-sensory showcase at the Art House, Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, BKC, Mumbai, from October 1–17, 2025. The immersive exhibition will explore the creative influence and cultural significance of Bvlgari’s most iconic symbol—the Serpenti—featuring historic jewelry alongside works of leading Indian and international artists.

Since 1948, Serpenti has become a universal symbol transcending space, time and culture. Its metamorphic nature offers endless inspiration for creative production, making it a symbol in perpetual conversation with cultural and artistic worlds.

Curated by Nature Morte, one of India’s leading galleries founded by Peter Nagy and Aparajita Jain, the exhibition has been envisioned by Artistic Director Sean Anderson. Serpenti Infinito will present the symbology of the serpent as a dialogue between mythology, craft, culture and technology. Structured around a three-part narrative that stretches from the historic and contemporary to the transformative, it will provide visitors with interpretations of the serpent’s significance across diverse artistic forms and practices.

Alongside artworks in various mediums, the exhibition features a curation from Bvlgari’s Serpenti Heritage collection, High Jewelry creations, timepieces and masterworks from the archives— showcasing the Maison’s unparalleled craftsmanship and iconic designs. Building on the ways artists have long embraced the snake—or Nāga—as a figure of immense power and infinite truths, the exhibition unites a range of historic and contemporary jewelry with artworks to highlight Bvlgari’s enduring role as a catalyst for a cross-cultural and human exchange in the world today. This convergence will offer a powerful platform to explore shared legacies across ancient civilisations and decode the Serpenti from design signature to universal iconography.

“India has always been a profound source of inspiration for Bvlgari, thanks to its rich history, exceptional craftsmanship, and deep cultural heritage,” says Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari. “The decision to bring Serpenti Infinito to Mumbai is more than just a launch; it’s a meaningful celebration of the dialogue between our timeless Roman roots and India’s vibrant artistic traditions. This journey not only reinforces Serpenti as an emblematic symbol of Bvlgari’s identity but also elevates it as a universal icon of continuous reinvention, creativity, and enduring elegance.

“Organising Serpenti Infinito in India has been an extraordinary opportunity to bring together diverse artistic voices in dialogue with one of the most enduring symbols in global design history,” says Aparajita Jain, Co-Director of Nature Morte. “The exhibition presents a rich tapestry of perspectives: traditional and contemporary, Indian and international, that together honor the spirit of Bvlgari’s Serpenti Collection while reimagining it for a new context.”

ChargeZone Partners with SBI to Boost EV Charging Infrastructure via DoCo Program in India

ST Correspondent — Sat, 30 Aug 2025 16:57:32 +0530

New Delhi [India], August 30: ChargeZone®, India’s largest EV charging network, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the State Bank of India (SBI) under the EV Mitra scheme in a significant step toward building the backbone of the country’s electric mobility infrastructure. This strategic partnership is aimed at empowering individuals, businesses, and institutions to set up EV charging stations through streamlined financing support for infrastructure development under ChargeZone’s popular DoCo (Dealer Owned, Company Operated) offerings.

As part of the scheme, loans ranging from ₹10 lakhs to ₹10 crores will be offered, with flexible repayment options of up to 7 years. The financing will be extended under the Credit Guarantee Fund Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE), allowing eligible borrowers to access funding with minimal collateral requirements.

As India accelerates toward its goal of 30% electric vehicle adoption by 2030, the demand for robust, accessible charging infrastructure continues to surge. While the sector has already attracted over USD 450 million in EV charging infrastructure investments, financing remains a key bottleneck for many prospective developers. Public charging stations have grown from around 5,151 in 2022 to over 26,367 by early 2025, a fivefold increase in just three years, reflecting a 72% CAGR. The partnership between ChargeZone® and SBI is designed to close the financing gap and support this growth by making capital more accessible to the next generation of infrastructure builders.

Mr Kartikey Hariyani, Founder and CEO of ChargeZone®, added, “The biggest unlock in India’s EV transition will come from removing barriers of mindset, access, and infrastructure. This partnership with SBI does exactly that. It empowers everyday entrepreneurs, institutions, and businesses to participate in building the EV ecosystem with ease and confidence. We’ve always believed that technology alone isn’t enough; it must be supported by accessibility and affordability. Combining ChargeZone’s technological capabilities and meticulous execution, as well as SBI’s support, we’re not just powering vehicles, we’re enabling new businesses, creating jobs, and accelerating the shift to cleaner mobility.”

Under the EV Mitra scheme, ChargeZone will offer its popular DOCO (Dealer Owned, Company Operated) program to set up EV charging stations with Indian residents & enterprises under the co-investment (full/partial) model too. Today, even for a land owner/restaurant owner-operator or a logistics operator or a young entrepreneur looking to start an EV charging business, the program simplifies the financing journey, backed by ChargeZone®’s integrated tech, operations, and nationwide network. The move is aligned with ChargeZone®’s mission of deploying one million charging points across India and strengthening the EV ecosystem through localised infrastructure development. With a network of over 13,500 charging points across 1,200 locations, ChargeZone® is building critical infrastructure where it’s needed most, from highways and city centres to emerging intercity corridors, while enabling new stakeholders to participate in the EV ecosystem.

Kalviro Ventures: Redefining Wealth Management with PMS & AIF Excellence

ST Correspondent — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 18:41:40 +0530

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], August 25 : India is at a turning point in its wealth story. As entrepreneurs, professionals, and family offices achieve new levels of financial success, the way they approach investments is also evolving. No longer satisfied with the familiar comfort of equities, gold, or mutual funds, the country’s emerging affluent are seeking specialised, conviction-led investment strategies that align with long-term goals and legacy creation.

At the heart of this shift stands Kalviro Ventures LLP, a boutique wealth distribution platform dedicated to Portfolio Management Services (PMS) and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs). Unlike mainstream distributors who rely heavily on mutual funds, Kalviro believes true wealth creation requires a premium-first approach—anchored by PMS and AIF strategies, with mutual funds serving as a complementary layer.

The Kalviro Philosophy: Clarity Over Clutter

Founded by Shrenik Shah, a financial services professional with 15+ years of experience, Kalviro Ventures was built on a simple but powerful vision—to cut through noise and deliver clarity, conviction, and purpose-driven wealth solutions.

“Every portfolio we design is curated as if it were our own. Our conviction drives our advice and research.” — Shrenik Shah, Founder, Kalviro Ventures

Kalviro doesn’t believe in product-pushing. Instead, it emphasizes strategy-first curation, helping investors access the right opportunities based on their wealth stage and ambitions. PMS and AIFs—traditionally overlooked by many retail investors—fit seamlessly into this differentiated, research-backed approach.

The Flagship Offerings

Portfolio Management Services (PMS)

PMS provides customized, professionally managed portfolios with sharper focus and flexibility compared to conventional instruments. From sectoral plays and thematic strategies to balanced, long-term equity allocations, Kalviro partners only with proven PMS managers who demonstrate consistency, performance, and conviction.

For investors, PMS is not just a product—it’s an exclusive entry point to differentiated equity allocation that aligns with personal risk appetite and financial goals.

Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs)

If PMS refines equity investing, AIFs expand the entire canvas of wealth creation. AIFs open doors to private equity, venture capital, structured debt, real estate, and niche alternative strategies—opportunities rarely accessible to mainstream investors.

Kalviro’s conviction in AIFs positions them as the rising stars of India’s wealth management ecosystem. By connecting clients to high-quality AIF opportunities, Kalviro empowers HNIs and family offices to participate in emerging sectors, early-stage growth businesses, and innovative financing structures—where long-term wealth and legacy are built.

Mutual Funds: The Balancing Layer

While PMS and AIFs are the core pillars, Kalviro recognizes the importance of mutual funds in providing stability, liquidity, and balance. With access to over 50+ AMCs, Kalviro ensures investors get the best of both worlds—advanced strategies for alpha generation complemented by mutual funds for portfolio resilience.

Trusted Partnerships with Market Leaders

Kalviro Ventures’ strength comes from its ecosystem of elite partnerships with some of India’s most respected fund houses and asset managers, including:

Motilal Oswal – pioneers in research-driven PMS strategies
Carnelian Asset Advisors – specialists in proprietary “Magic Formula” frameworks
Abakkus Asset Manager – leaders in high-conviction equity portfolios Buoyant Capital – agile, alpha-focused investing approach
Nippon India PMS & AIF – innovation-driven strategies with scale
Neo Asset Management – aligned with high-growth modern sectors
IIFL Capital – versatile PMS and AIF solutions
360 ONE – top alternatives platform in India
Vivriti AMC – pioneers in structured fixed-income AIFs

With such partnerships, Kalviro ensures its clients gain access to best-in-class, differentiated investment solutions curated for long-term success.

Who Kalviro Serves?

Kalviro Ventures caters to discerning investors who value strategy over scale, and conviction over convenience. Its core audience includes:

HNIs & Ultra-HNIs seeking premium PMS & AIF allocations
Family Offices diversifying into alternative investments
Young entrepreneurs & professionals building long-term wealth platforms
Seasoned investors consolidating portfolios into high-performance strategies

A Holistic Wealth Experience

Unlike many distribution platforms, Kalviro doesn’t stop at product access. It ensures a seamless client experience through:

Curated shortlists driven by convictions and research
Risk-aligned structures that reflect goals and tolerance levels
Unified visibility of PMS, AIFs, and mutual funds
Continuous reviews & rebalancing aligned with market shifts and life milestones

The approach is built on the belief that wealth is more than numbers—it is legacy in motion.

Kalviro’s Promise: Wealth with Legacy

The very name Kalviro carries deep symbolism. Inspired by Kalpavriksha—the mythological wish-fulfilling tree—and strengthened by Viro, representing resilience and modernity, Kalviro embodies an ethos of responsible, future-ready wealth creation.

By putting PMS and AIFs at the heart of its wealth strategies, Kalviro Ventures is redefining how India’s affluent invest—not just for today’s goals, but for tomorrow’s legacies.

About Kalviro Ventures

Kalviro Ventures LLP is a SEBI-compliant boutique wealth distribution platform specializing in Portfolio Management Services (PMS) and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), with mutual funds offered as a complementary layer. Backed by research-driven curation, conviction-led advice, and strong partnerships with leading fund houses, Kalviro empowers India’s emerging affluent to invest with clarity, strategy, and long-term vision.

Can Indian SMM Panels Offer Real Value Without Faking It

ST Correspondent — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 15:41:56 +0530

New Delhi [India], August 22: Social media is a powerful weapon. Companies, influencers, and content creators use it to gain their audience. But it is not always simple to expand online. This is where social media marketing (SMM) panels step in to help. They are sites that offer social media services like followers, likes, views, etc. But Indian SMM Panel have become very popular. They offer fast delivery and low rates. But everyone asks—is it real? And is it worth it?

Let’s break this down.

What Is an Indian SMM Panel?

An Indian SMM panel is a website that offers social media engagement for sale. You can buy services for social media sites, including Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Telegram, and Twitter. They include:

Followers
Likes
Views
Comments
Subscribers
Shares

Indian SMM panels are affordable. Others even start at ₹1 or ₹2 per service. They are mainly used by digital marketers, influencers, and even small business owners.

The Problem: Fake Engagement

The biggest issue with SMM panels is bot engagement. Most services offer bot followers or bot likes. These are not real people. They are not engaging with your posts or making any purchases. This kind of growth seems to be fantastic at first glance, but does not have any positive effect.

Bots’ engagement may result in:

Low credibility among real followers
Platform penalties (shadowbans or account bans)
No real conversions (no sales or clicks)
Damaged brand reputation

So, the million-dollar question is, can Indian SMM panels offer something better? Can they give value without faking it?

Yes, Some Indian SMM Panels Do Offer Real Value

Indian SMM panels are not all created equal. There are some of them that care more about the quality than the quantity. These panels offer real engagement in the form of organic promotion or real users. Let us see how Indian SMM panels are able to offer real value.

1. Targeted Engagement

Good SMM panels allow you to choose your audience. As an example, if your restaurant is in Delhi, you can ask Delhi users to like it. This makes your followers more relevant. They may interact more and more likely, even visit your page.

This is much better than random, global bots.

2. Slow, Natural-Looking Delivery

Cheap panels will typically deliver 1,000 likes in 5 minutes. That is artificial. Platforms like Instagram can recognise that and may end up penalising your account. Real Indian panels deliver slow and organic-looking delivery. That keeps you secure and increases steadily.

3. Promotion-Based Services

Other panels never use bots. They repost you through ad networks or engagement groups. They post to real people. These people may like or follow you because they are interested.

Such an SMM service gives you real visibility.

4. API Access for Agencies

The majority of Indian SMM panels offer reseller APIs. They are used by marketing agencies to serve their own customers. A reputable agency uses the panel for the benefit of organic growth. They may combine it with genuine content marketing and ad campaigns.

Employed responsibly, these panels are turned into tools, not cheats.

5. Reasonable Prices for Real Users

One of the key reasons Indian panels thrive is due to pricing. It may be quite expensive to pay for an influencer or run ads. SMM panels give small creators a chance to grow without breaking. Some panels even offer micro-influencers who get real engagement at reasonable prices.

Warning Signs of Fake Services

While there are good Indian SMM panels, the majority of them offer fake services. It’s vital to know the warning signs. Here’s what to watch out for:

Incredibly fast delivery (i.e., 5,000 followers in 2 minutes)
No option to select a target audience
Price too good to be true (i.e., ₹0.10 per follower)
No refund or refill option
No real support or contact details

If you see these warning signs, think twice before buying.

How to Get Genuine Value from an Indian SMM Panel

If you are ready to utilise an Indian SMM panel correctly, then adhering to a few simple tips would be sufficient:

Utilise SMM and Content Simultaneously

SMM panels can drive visitors, but content keeps them. Make sure your posts are engaging, informative, or funny. This would turn visitors into real followers.

Utilise a Single Platform Only

Don’t try to scale everywhere at once. Pick one platform where your audience is active. Use SMM services to scale there first. Scale later.

Panels for a Boost, Not All

Use the panel to boost your account. But don’t just depend on it. Focus on organic methods like hashtags, reels, stories, and decent captions as well.

Test Before You Scale

Start small. Buy fewer likes or followers. Try it out. Check if they drop after some days. If the response is regular, then buy more.

Final Thoughts

Indian SMM panels have an unbalanced reputation. Some are cheap and not real. But then others offer actual tools for online growth. The catch is to employ them correctly. Avoid doing fake-looking boosts. Go for quality services with actual users and authentic delivery.

When you employ the SMM panel as a tool, not a trick, you can achieve true value without pretending to do so.

Looking for an Indian SMM panel that delivers real value without fake promises? TNT SMM offers reliable, targeted, and fast social media services—trusted by marketers and creators across India.

ST Correspondent — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 18:45:53 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 11 : Brides plan everything for their big day – the dress, the jewellery, the décor – but when it comes to luxurious nightwear for the wedding night or honeymoon, the options are… ordinary.

House of Elorra is here to change that.

Flowing silhouettes that flatter every body type
Delicate lace trims for romance and charm
Handworked Swarovski crystals that sparkle with every movement

Each nightdress is a wearable work of art, designed to flatter, comfort, and inspire.

The Fit: Relaxed Luxury for the Perfect Fit

At House of Elorra, we know comfort is personal.

Our kimono-style relaxed fits are tailored to move with you – perfect for lounging, stretching, and sleeping without restriction. Plus, our pieces are effortlessly low-maintenance – staying fresh, beautiful, and wrinkle-free, wash after wash.

The Emotion: Turning Routine into Ritual

Wearing House of Elorra satin nightwear isn’t just about changing clothes – it’s about transforming your mood. Whether it’s your bridal morning, honeymoon evening, or a slow Sunday at home, our designs wrap you in elegance and softness.

Every touch of satin, every shimmer of Swarovski, and every fall of lace is a reminder that you deserve to feel beautiful, even in your most private moments.

The Perfect Couple’s Gift

When celebrating love, the best gifts combine beauty, comfort, and intimacy. While jewellery and vacations are memorable, luxury satin nightwear offers something unique – a romantic experience she can enjoy again and again.

Every House of Elorra piece is:

Sensual without being overbearing
Elegant without losing comfort
Romantic without losing timeless appeal

Perfect for anniversaries, honeymoons, or spontaneous surprises.

How Best of Exports Became the No.1 Restaurant Furniture Manufacturer in India

ST Correspondent — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 19:00:27 +0530

The Rise of a Brand

New Delhi [India], August 5 : Walk into any great restaurant, and you’ll notice everything feels intentional—lights, colors, music. But one thing often gets overlooked: the chair.

We’ve heard it before. “We invested in décor and menu, but the chairs didn’t last.” Or, “Guests loved the vibe but didn’t stay long.”

That’s where Best of Exports comes in. We didn’t aim to dominate—we just wanted to make honest, durable furniture. Chairs people enjoy, from starters to dessert.

From small Jodhpur orders to trusted partnerships across India—we’ve grown by listening, delivering, and never compromising on comfort.

1. Starting from a 150 sq. ft. Room

This wasn’t one of those startup stories with angel investors and glossy websites.

We began in a room the size of a bedroom. One small machine. No employees. Just grit and a lot of hope.

The early days were raw. We accepted whatever work came in. Sometimes it was two chairs, sometimes just a stool. There were delays. Wrong finishes. Deliveries done on a scooter. But we didn’t stop.

One machine became two. We hired one carpenter. Then two. We couldn’t afford to waste wood or time. Every mistake hurt. But every order taught us something.

That small room slowly turned into a workshop. It wasn’t fancy, but it was real. The noise of cutting, the smell of polish, the satisfaction of seeing something finished — that became our rhythm.

Today, we have a 1.15 lakh square foot factory. But we haven’t forgotten that room. It’s the reason we don’t take shortcuts. The reason we still double-check everything before it leaves.

It’s where we learned to build furniture. And also trust.

2. Roller Coaster Ride in the Early Years

It wasn’t always smooth. At one point, we nearly quit. Orders were low, but costs—rent, salaries, bills—kept piling up. Survival mode kicked in. We even thought of starting a side consultancy to stay afloat.

We said yes to everything, took on unfamiliar projects, and just kept going. Slowly, things shifted—a few early payments, one big order—and that was enough. That tough phase made us sharper, humbler, and taught us resilience.

3. Slow Growth, Steady Vision

We never had a five-year plan on the wall.

What we had was consistency. We showed up daily. No shortcuts—just steady effort.

Extra savings meant a new machine. More work meant hiring help. We weren’t chasing explosions, we were building something real.

Clients came back—and brought others. That’s when we realised growth lives in trust.

We refined. Created systems. Missed a few times. Learned fast.

Some months were slow. Others chaotic. But we moved forward—always.

And over time, people noticed.

4. The Turning Point: Long Boat Brewery, Bangalore

Our breakthrough came with Long Boat Brewery in Bangalore. They needed strong, stylish wooden furniture for a busy space. We took the challenge, despite never doing something like it before.

It was tough—tight deadlines, revisions—but the outcome was worth it. Guests loved it. That one project opened Bangalore to us.

It built trust, not through ads, but real results. Long Boat gave us confidence. Proof that we could truly deliver.

5. Our First Architect Partner: Mr. Nilay Patalia

It began with a friend’s call from Chennai — “Talk to this architect.” That was five years ago. We met Mr. Nilay Patalia with no expectations, just a simple chat. But something clicked.

Our first project was small, but the connection was real. One project led to many. Today, he’s more than a client — he’s a creative partner. Now, we’re building one of India’s largest breweries together. All from one referral.

6. What Restaurant Owners Actually Want

Looks matter. But after years in this industry, we learned restaurant owners want more—they want peace of mind.

Chairs that last. Finishes that don’t peel. Real timelines, clear updates, and someone who answers the phone post-delivery.

So we focused on the details: stronger joints, better polish, clean welds, quality checks. It worked. Fewer delays, better feedback. Clients now say, “This was the one part we didn’t have to worry about.

7. The Facility: Built for Scale, Backed by People

People are often surprised when they visit our factory.

It’s big—1.15 lakh square feet. Machines humming. Wood stacked. Workstations in line. But what truly matters is the people inside.

Over 90 team members—carpenters, welders, polishers, packers. Some old hands, some new energy.

We train not just in tools, but in care.

Yes, we’ve upgraded—CNCs, spray booths, better logistics.

Still, every piece gets a human touch.

From 20-seater cafés to 500-table breweries, our attention stays the same.

8. Why Architects and Designers Recommend BOE

We love working with architects—not for the scale, but for the thought behind every detail. They know what they want and value collaboration. We listen, adapt, and iterate to match their vision, even when it’s unconventional.

Our flexible factory and skilled team bring custom ideas to life. We understand their pressures and aim to make one part of their job easier.

That’s why designers trust us—not for perfection, but reliability.

9. From Local Maker to National Leader

We never set out to be a national name—just to make great furniture and treat people right. One project led to another, one city at a time.

No flashy ads, just honest work, clear communication, and lasting relationships.

Today, we serve clients across India, but at heart, we’re still the same team with the same values.

10. Our Products in Restaurant Furniture

At Best of Exports, we don’t just make furniture — we craft complete dining experiences.
Over time, our range has grown to meet the unique needs of every restaurant, from quaint cafés to grand fine-dining venues.
Here’s a quick look at what we offer:

Restaurant Chairs
From timeless wood to sleek metal designs, our chairs balance comfort and style. Choose from upholstered, cane-back, or custom options.
Restaurant Tables
Built for beauty and endurance, our tables suit everything from small two-tops to large banquet setups.
Restaurant Booths
Custom booths designed for comfort and privacy, using materials like fabric, leatherette, or bespoke finishes.
Restaurant Sofas
Perfect for lounge-style dining, our sofas combine luxury and lasting durability.
Outdoor Restaurant Furniture
Weather-resistant and elegant — explore stackable chairs, patio sets, and foldable tables built to perform outdoors year-round.

Conclusion – Built to Last, Trusted Nationwide

From humble beginnings in a small Jodhpur room to becoming India’s No.1 restaurant furniture manufacturer, Best of Exports has always prioritized quality, trust, and relationships. Every chair, table, or booth we create carries our commitment to craftsmanship and comfort. We’re not just furnishing spaces — we’re helping restaurants build unforgettable experiences. And this is just the beginning. Let’s design something great, together.

Bengaluru Start-Up ‘Skillsurger’ Launches AI Career Agent to Close the Gap Between Ambition and Opportunity

ST Correspondent — Thu, 31 Jul 2025 16:42:26 +0530

Early beta users report 40 % faster interview call-backs; the company opens public sign-ups today with a free seven-day trial.

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India] : When Ananya Iyer lost her job as a marketing associate in last year’s round of tech layoffs, she faced the familiar whirl of résumé rewrites, online courses and marathon interview prep. “It felt like a full-time job just managing my job search,” she recalls. Two months later, she joined the closed beta of Skillsurger.com, an AI-powered career agent that promised to diagnose her skill gaps, redesign her CV, and rehearse interviews—using the same large-language-model technology popularised by ChatGPT. Within three weeks, she had two offers on the table, one at a 22 % salary bump.

Stories like Iyer’s are beginning to surface across LinkedIn and Reddit, and they underpin the quiet arrival of Skillsurger’s public launch this week. Founded by Apeksha Gupta, a Bengaluru-based tech professional, the start-up sits at the junction of generative AI and professional development—an intersection investors have tipped as the next billion-dollar SaaS frontier.

“A CV is just data until someone contextualises it,” says Gupta.
“Our agent learns who you are, where you want to go, then reverse-engineers the fastest path.”

From Generic Job Boards to Precision Career Maps

Unlike conventional job portals, Skillsurger begins with a 30-second profile scan. Users upload a résumé; the platform’s proprietary AI technology converts it to a web profile, which can be enhanced based on career path and job of interest or AI-suggested.

That gap analysis powers four signature tools:

AI-Tailored Career Paths – curated role suggestions ranked by salary, market demand and skills overlap.
Top-Job Matches – a real-time feed of openings filtered for fit, location flexibility and growth trajectory.
CV Auto-Upgrade – one-click résumé rewrites that embed relevant keywords for Applicant Tracking Systems.
Learning Paths + Courses – bite-sized course playlists (many free) drawn from Coursera, Udemy and company-specific training academies.
AI Mock Interviews – role-specific practice sessions with instant feedback on content, tone and confidence cues.

During its last-month invite-only beta, the platform attracted 5,000 users—largely mid-career professionals in tech, finance and product management. According to internal telemetry shared with reporters, the median user secured an interview 14 days sooner than the control cohort that relied on conventional job-board alerts.

Why Now?

Industry analysts say the timing is ripe. A recent Deloitte study notes that 63% of professionals plan to change jobs in 2024–25, yet only 11% feel “well equipped” for the search. Meanwhile, corporate L&D budgets continue to fragment across MOOCs, bootcamps and internal academies, leaving workers to stitch together their own upskilling roadmaps.

“We’re seeing the unbundling of the career ladder,” explains Dr. Ritu Kataria, Future-of-Work researcher
“Tools that recombine discovery, learning and placement into a single flow will dominate the next cycle.”

A Business Model that Starts Free—But Values Commitment

Skillsurger adopts a freemium strategy: a seven-day unrestricted trial, then ₹ 860 per month (≈ $10) for unlimited job matches, CV rewrites and interview sessions. For enterprise clients, the company quietly rolled out a SaaS tier that charges per employee, already piloted by two Indian IT services firms looking to streamline internal mobility.

Gupta insists the pricing is intentional: “We wanted to be cheaper than a single session with a human career coach, yet sticky enough that users commit to their growth.”

Early Success and What’s Next

40 % reduction in average time-to-interview among beta cohort
98 % CV rewrite satisfaction (in-app NPS survey)
First enterprise deal signed in Q2 2025, covering 1200 learners

Next on the roadmap: multi-lingual support (Hindi, etc) and a Chrome extension that grades job descriptions in-line and flags instant fit scores.

For professionals reconsidering their next move—or companies seeking to future-proof their workforce—Skillsurger may be worth a test-drive. The team is capping its discounted plan at the end of the month; after that, pricing is expected to rise.

Prospective users can explore the full feature set at skillsurger.com, where sign-up takes less than a minute and no credit card is required for the initial trial. If the platform delivers on its early promise, scrolling LinkedIn might feel a little less daunting—and that following interview a lot more attainable.

Education, Unlocked: ClassTym Launches to Empower Learners and Teachers

ST Correspondent — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 15:52:59 +0530

Highlights:

Launched with the mission to democratize quality education by putting power back in the hands of educators
Integrated tools for scheduling, student management and Real-time dashboards offering insights
Verified educator network
Focused on building trust and long-term student-mentor relationships.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] : ClassTym, a next-generation interactive teaching platform, built around transparency and personalization launches with a radical mission: to put the power back in the hands of educators thus making quality mentorship accessible to students everywhere while reshaping the future of learning through human connection.

In a digital age where education is increasingly commodified and reduced to influencer content, ClassTym offers a refreshing alternative. Founded by Divya Tej, a visionary entrepreneur and passionate education reformer, the platform rejects rigid, curriculum-heavy systems in favor of flexible, mentor-led learning. At its core, it is a student-centric and educator-first platform that equips independent tutors, coaches, and subject matter experts with the tools to build digital classrooms — without the burden of upfront costs or rigid structures. It offers integrated tools for scheduling, whiteboarding, content delivery, and student management — all designed to make learning interactive, accessible, and impactful.

“At ClassTym, our vision is to create a world where quality education isn’t a privilege, but a right — accessible to anyone, anywhere. We’ve built a platform that connects passionate educators with eager learners in a way that’s seamless, personal, and empowering.” said Divya Tej, Founder of ClassTym.

He further added “Real learning happens when students connect with verified, passionate educators — not algorithms. At ClassTym, we’re not replacing human connection with technology but using technology to enhance it. With intuitive tools and a seamless interface, ClassTym is focused on bridging the gap between students and educators, making knowledge-sharing meaningful and impactful for all.”

Reshaping the EdTech Industry

The launch of ClassTym marks a paradigm shift in the EdTech industry. While most platforms emphasize content delivery and scalability, ClassTym champions student-mentor relationships, academic integrity, and educator empowerment. It enables students to choose their mentors based on demo classes, real reviews, and subject compatibility. By shifting away from a one-size-fits-all model, ClassTym enables personalized learning journeys while supporting educators with smart tools that scale their reach and income.

Unlike other EdTech platforms that thrive on influencers and content creators, ClassTym stands firm on academic integrity. Every educator on the platform is verified, ensuring students learn from qualified, real-world experts — not social media personas.

A Vision Born from Experience

As an alumnus of Good Shepherd International School, Pathways World School, and Bournemouth University (UK), Tej combines global academic exposure with hands-on experience. His leadership comes from working at schools, where he engaged with thousands of students and teachers, giving him firsthand insight into the barriers limiting educator autonomy and student access — especially outside Tier-1 cities. It was this realization that led him to launch ClassTym, a platform that removes geographic, financial, and institutional barriers.

What Sets ClassTym Apart

ClassTym is built from the ground up with a laser focus on transparency, accessibility, and empowerment. Key features include:

Zero Upfront Fees for Educators – Anyone can start teaching on ClassTym without paying a rupee. This reduces entry barriers for passionate educators across the world.

Global Reach – Now live in India, UK, USA, UAE, and Ireland, ClassTym connects educators and students across borders, unlocking global teaching and learning opportunities.

Real-Time Dashboards – Educators can track income, student engagement, and performance metrics all in one place — bringing clarity and control to their teaching careers.

Verified Expert Network – No influencers. Only qualified, vetted educators are allowed on the platform, ensuring credibility and trust for students.

Student Empowerment – Students select educators based on demo sessions, reviews, and subject fit, ensuring a better learning match and stronger academic outcomes.

ClassTym is more than a platform — it is deeply grounded in a powerful philosophy: authentic learning must be rooted in trust, interaction, and mentorship. Built to empower real educators and offer students a truly personalized experience, ClassTym aims to make education interactive, transparent, and deeply human again.

About ClassTym

ClassTym is a next generation teaching and learning platform built to empower educators and personalize education for students worldwide. Founded by education reformer Divya Tej, ClassTym combines intuitive technology with a human-first approach, enabling verified tutors, coaches, and subject experts to build digital classrooms without upfront costs or constraints.

Meet Amit Kakkar: One Consultant’s Mission to Build Bridges, Not Just Careers

ST Correspondent — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 14:40:07 +0530

Chandigarh [India], July 15: In a world where most careers follow a straight line, Amit Kakkar’s professional path is a rich tapestry of disciplines, causes, and global connections. What began in a small town in Punjab, India, has evolved into a lifelong mission that straddles consultancy, education, technology, and social transformation.

For over two decades, Kakkar has worked quietly but impactfully, guiding students to international universities, advising global real estate ventures, crafting travel and healthcare strategies, and, above all, making service to others the cornerstone of his work. His story isn’t just about career milestones; it’s about how personal drive and ethical leadership can ripple outward into meaningful change.

Education as a Launchpad

Growing up in a modest household, Kakkar was raised with one unwavering belief: education is empowerment. This ethos carried him through a robust academic journey: earning a Bachelor of Arts, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications, and a Master of Science. Determined to balance technological skill with strategic thinking, he pursued a Master’s in Information Technology at the prestigious Manipal Academy and became an Oracle Certified Professional (OCP 8i) database administrator.

But his ambitions extended beyond degrees. He immersed himself in global certifications related to international education, laying the groundwork for a career that would open the world to thousands.

Building the Backbone of Global Access

Kakkar’s career began in the thick of India’s IT boom, working at Tata Infotech from 1995 to 2001. As a Senior Network Operations Center Engineer, he managed mission-critical systems at a time when the Internet was reshaping global connectivity. From there, he moved to the Government Medical College & Hospital (GMCH) in Chandigarh, where he maintained complex databases critical to public healthcare delivery.

But the real inflection point came in 2004 when he transitioned from tech into international education consulting. For a decade, he led CONSULTANTS LIMITED, helping Indian students realize their dreams of studying abroad. Under his leadership, the firm received the “Best Consultants” award eight times, no small feat in a crowded, often opaque industry.

Through exclusive partnerships with foreign universities and meticulous visa planning, Kakkar demystified global education for Indian families. His name became synonymous with transparency, ethics, and results.

“Reliable advice can change lives,” Kakkar often says. “My goal has always been to remove the barriers that stop people from pursuing opportunity.”

A Consultant Without Borders

In 2014, Kakkar embraced freelancing, not to downscale, but to diversify. Over the last eleven years, he’s expanded into four key sectors: travel, real estate, event management, and healthcare.

He now designs global travel solutions for business executives and medical tourists, helps Indian families invest in international real estate markets, coordinates multicultural events across continents, and advises hospitals on everything from telehealth adoption to international staffing.

And recognition keeps coming. His consultancy has earned “Best Consultant” honors six times in the past eight years, a reflection of his consistency in delivering results across industries.

Where Career Meets Compassion

While his consulting accolades are impressive, Kakkar’s deepest impact is felt through his social work. Through his registered NGO, he supports:

Education access for underprivileged children through free tutoring and scholarship initiatives
Preventive healthcare via mobile medical camps and disease awareness drives
Justice and digital safety, partnering with local law enforcement to combat trafficking and cybercrime
Peacebuilding efforts, helping communities foster conflict resolution and resilience

The Leadership Ethos

Amit Kakkar is often described by peers as a servant-leader; someone who leads with humility, mentors generously, and upholds ethical standards in an industry that often struggles with transparency.

Whether guiding a junior consultant or a client navigating visa complexities, his approach is rooted in empathy and clarity. On platforms like LinkedIn, Kakkar is a steady voice on issues such as ethical immigration practices, inclusive tech, and sustainable development, speaking not as a salesman, but as a seasoned guide.

Vision for the Future: Going Digital, Staying Human

Now entering his third decade of consultancy, Kakkar is future-focused. He’s developing digital tools to automate visa and property documentation, expanding telehealth partnerships, and collaborating with prop-tech ventures to help families access safe, affordable housing globally.

It’s a natural progression for someone who has always sought to scale impact, balancing the precision of technology with the intuition of human connection.

Final Word: Purpose-Driven, People-Focused

Amit Kakkar’s journey defies simple categorization. He is part IT professional, part education strategist, part real estate guide, and part social architect. But more than any title, he is a connector of people, of ideas, of continents.

From Punjab to platforms that span the globe, he has remained true to his vision: a world where access to opportunity isn’t determined by background, and where service isn’t a sideline but a strategy.

In an era of hyper-specialization, Kakkar offers a refreshing model of holistic leadership, one where career success and community upliftment walk hand in hand.

The company soon garnered orders from various parts of India, establishing a robust national footprint.

Today, C.S. Panchal & Co. is under the dynamic leadership of Rajesh Naresh Panchal, the next generation of the Panchal family.

Identifying the Next Big Catalyst for India and Other Emerging Markets

ST Correspondent — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 12:45:39 +0530

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], July 10: As the global financial landscape braces for a pivotal shift in U.S. monetary policy, Raj Shah, a leading finance and investment expert, offers insightful analysis into how this change could open new doors for emerging markets, particularly India.

“The biggest driver for emerging markets right now is the anticipated pivot in U.S. interest rates,” says Raj Shah. “If the Federal Reserve begins to cut rates, the U.S. dollar will likely weaken, and that’s a fundamental trigger for global capital to rotate out of the U.S. and into emerging economies.”

Why the Dollar Matters

A weakening U.S. dollar doesn’t just affect interest-bearing instruments; it impacts currency plays, too. “When the dollar drops, emerging market currencies tend to appreciate,” Raj Shah explains. “So, investors aren’t just looking at gains from equities or bonds, they’re also gaining from favourable currency movements (typically known as “carry trade”). That’s a double win.”

A declining dollar has historically been a positive signal for risk assets across developing markets. Shah explains that a weaker greenback enhances returns for foreign investors not just through asset performance, but also via currency appreciation.

This currency appreciation, paired with lower U.S. rates, sets the stage for a broader capital reallocation. “The U.S. simply cannot continue financing its massive deficit at high interest rates,” Mr. Shah adds. “To reduce the cost of funds, rate cuts are inevitable.”

Leadership and Policy Transition: A Market Catalyst

U.S. politics may further fuel this trajectory. With Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s term ending next year, speculation over his successor is already influencing market sentiment (As we can see that the US 10-year treasury is already reflecting the same). “ President Donald Trump has openly criticised Powell and is signalling that change is imminent. Markets are forward-looking; they will begin pricing in a more dovish Fed leadership even before the transition,” Mr. Shah notes.

Moreover, the U.S. inflation curve has started to flatten. “The Fed is holding rates steady largely due to tariff-related uncertainties,” says Mr. Shah. “Once clarity emerges on the tariff front, rate cuts are likely to follow.”

India: A Major Beneficiary- With Caution

For India, this shift could mean a surge in foreign inflows. “We can expect a significant uptick in liquidity coming into India and other emerging markets on account of carry trade,” says Mr.Shah. “But it’s not without risks.”

The key threat? Geopolitical instability. “Any flare-up in the Middle East or elsewhere that drives crude oil prices higher could derail the entire investment thesis for India. Energy costs are a critical vulnerability for our economy.”

Still, India offers avenues for international investors seeking stability. “With platforms like GIFT City (Gujarat International Finance Tec-City), global investors now have streamlined channels to participate in the Indian growth story while managing their currency risks.”

Conclusion

As central banks around the world recalibrate in response to the evolving U.S. rate cycle, the coming months will be crucial for portfolio positioning. According to Raj Shah, now is the time for investors, both institutional and retail, to deepen their understanding of macro trends and prepare to seize the opportunities ahead.

About Raj Shah

Raj Shah is a seasoned finance and investment expert known for his macroeconomic insights and sharp market foresight. With over two decades of experience in advising institutional and high-net-worth investors, Mr. Shah continues to be a trusted voice in financial commentary and strategy.

Cyberin Premium cPanel Hosting Is Smart Choice for Businesses in 2025

ST Correspondent — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 14:21:40 +0530

New Delhi [India], June 23: Alright, let’s get real about premium cloud hosting, because picking the right provider shouldn’t feel like trying to choose a Netflix show with your indecisive cousin (we’ve all been stuck on that home screen way too long). I’ve been down the rabbit hole of endless hosting options, promising the world and delivering… well, dial-up vibes. So when I landed on this Premium Cloud Hosting setup, it felt like finding out my favorite local pizza place actually delivers at 2am. Game-changer.

Fast and Reliable NVMe Storage: Like Giving Your Site a Caffeine Shot

A while back, I ran a small online store selling quirky coffee mugs. Trust me, nothing kills that “impulse buy” buzz like a site that loads slower than my grandma typing an email. This platform’s Enterprise-Grade Samsung NVMe drives? They’re not just fast—they’re “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it” fast. Seriously, it’s the difference between catching Taylor Swift tickets and getting stuck in the virtual queue of doom.

PCI Compliance: No More Payment Panic Attacks

If you’ve ever woken up in a cold sweat wondering if your customers’ payment info is floating around the dark web, you’ll appreciate this: everything here Cyberin is PCI-compliant right out of the box. No more deciphering tech jargon or feeling like you need a cybersecurity PhD just to take a credit card payment. It’s like having a digital bouncer at your online checkout—no fake IDs allowed.

Advanced Caching & CDN: Speed for Everyone, Everywhere

Remember when you’d visit a site and watch images load one pixel at a time? Yeah, we don’t do that anymore. With LiteSpeed, Varnish, and Cloudflare CDN working together, your site loads faster than you can say “buffering.” My friend in Tokyo loaded my site and said it popped up quicker than the latest anime meme on Twitter.

Backups: Because Murphy’s Law is Real

True story: I once deleted my entire blog after a late-night “clean-up.” If only I’d had backups running six times a day! With Cyberin hosting, even if you have a “whoops” moment at 3am, restoring your site is as easy as ordering Uber Eats (and way less guilt-inducing).

Security That Actually Lets You Sleep at Night

Security is usually treated like those veggies you push to the edge of your plate—visible but ignored. Not here. Imunify360, BitNinja, DDoS protection… it’s like having an army of cyber ninjas guarding your site 24/7. Two-factor authentication means even if someone guesses your password (“password123” doesn’t cut it, by the way), they’re still locked out.

Email Hosting: Inbox Zero (or Close Enough)

Unlimited mailboxes with 50GB each? My inner digital hoarder rejoices. Plus, with MailChannels, your emails actually reach inboxes—not spam folders. I once sent a pitch to a client who never got it because my old host blacklisted me. Never again.

Developers Friendly: For Both Coding Wizards and Mortal Humans

One click app installs, multiple PHP versions (I still remember when PHP 5.6 was new), Node.js, Python, Git integration. I’m convinced their dev team drinks triple espressos and codes in their sleep. You can even build and test on a temporary URL with an available in house built website preview feature, think of it as rehearsing for opening night before inviting in the critics.

Resources Galore: No More “Resource Limit Reached” Nightmares

Nothing spoils your business more than receiving a “resource limit reached” message, especially on Black Friday & heavy traffic day. With Cyberin this business hosting you get 4 CPU cores, 4GB of RAM, plus unlimited storage and bandwidth. It’s like being told you can have every Chipotle topping, including guac, without paying extra.

Website Transfers: No Drama Migration

Switching cPanel hosts used to give me more anxiety than moving apartments. But these folks at Cyberin handle everything like files, databases, emails while your site stays live on priority. It’s smoother than a TikTok transition.

Honest Pricing: No Gotcha Moments

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been hit with surprise “renewal fees” (my wallet still hasn’t forgiven me). Here, what you see is what you pay, no fine print shenanigans or sneaky upsells. Pay monthly or yearly, and if you go annual, you even get half off domain registration. Take that, inflation!

Support That Doesn’t Ghost You

Ever tried getting tech support at midnight during a crisis? I have, and it usually ends with me talking to a chatbot that may or may not be plotting world domination. Here at Cyberin, real people answer quickly and actually solve problems. Even during late nights, when calls aren’t available, they respond promptly over chat and tickets. Plus, they offer a callback request option that connects to most countries worldwide. I feel they are truly serious about their business and always step up when customers need help.

Why Do I Actually Think This Hosting Rocks?

Speed: NVMe storage is blazing.
Security: Peace of mind is priceless.
Backups: Mistakes happen—I make plenty.
Transparent Pricing: No regrets at renewal.
Support: Real humans, not robots.
Current Events: When Reddit went down last month and everyone flocked to alternative forums, sites hosted here didn’t skip a beat.

If you’re tired of unreliable hosts and want something that just works, no drama, no hidden traps, give Cyberin Business Hosting one a spin. Your future self (and your website visitors) will thank you.

Ready to ditch slow hosting for good? Hit me up and let’s make your site soar!

Cinema With Purpose: Ravi Gautam’s Soch Chosen to Close Stuttgart Indian Film Festival with a social punch

ST Correspondent — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 14:21:01 +0530

New Delhi [India], June 23 : Soch: A Perception, the latest feature film by Indo-German director Ravi Gautam, has been selected as the closing film for the upcoming Indian Film Festival Stuttgart, Europe’s largest festival dedicated to Indian cinema. The festival, known for its socially conscious programming and cultural bridge-building, will take place next month in the German city.

Produced by Jennifer Pengel and Rahul Sharma, Soch is a thought-provoking exploration of gender bias and societal double standards in modern India. The film follows Officer Priyanka Negi, portrayed by acclaimed actress Anjali Patil, as she investigates a village disappearance while grappling with deeply entrenched patriarchal norms. Patil’s performance was recently nominated for Best Actress at the India International Film Festival of Boston.

Soch has already been screened at major international festivals including IIFFB, the Chicago South Asian Film Festival, the Jagran Film Festival, and the 22nd Chennai International Film Festival. Its selection in Stuttgart reflects its growing global resonance.

“Cinema can’t always offer answers—but it can start conversations,” says Gautam. “With Soch, I wanted to highlight the silent codes we grow up with, especially those that define women’s freedom and men’s judgment.”

The Stuttgart Indian Film Festival has built a reputation over two decades for championing bold, socially relevant films. Many acclaimed Indian filmmakers and actors have found early international recognition on its platform. The festival also serves as a key venue for cross-cultural exchange between India and Germany, particularly through its ties with Mumbai, Stuttgart’s sister city.

Soch is produced by Webfilmland Production, a film company based in Garbsen near Hanover, which also supports creative development, workshops, and socially conscious storytelling. The company has recently completed another project by Gautam, A Million Yard Stare, a poetic, emotionally charged film about Ukrainian refugee children coping with the trauma of war.

“A child’s trauma isn’t always loud—it lives in the eyes,” says Gautam. “A Million Yard Stare is my attempt to honor that silence.”

Embed if wherever possible; otherwise, provide as a hyperlink. If neither is possible, include as plain text.

Cyberin’s Journey: From Startup to Digital Powerhouse

ST Correspondent — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 14:21:00 +0530

Cyberin: From Local Startup to Global Web Hosting Powerhouse

New Delhi [India], June 23: Hey, have you ever stumbled upon a company that started out like a neighborhood lemonade stand and now runs the global lemonade empire? Well, that’s Cyberin for you. Founded back in 2012, right around the time I was figuring out how to untangle my headphones. Cyberin kicked off as a bold Delhi-based startup aiming to make web hosting and domain services as easy as pie. Fast forward 13 years, and they’re flexing seven self-managed data centers across India, the US (Seattle, Dallas, Atlanta, New Jersey), the UK, and Germany. That’s no small feat, kind of like going from playing cricket in your backyard to hosting the IPL! They’ve empowered over 26,000 community members and startups worldwide. Talk about putting India on the global digital map!

How Cyberin Became a Developer’s Best Friend

What really caught my eye about Cyberin is their developer-first attitude. It’s like they’ve built a clubhouse where developers feel right at home. Imagine high-speed SSD storage paired with LiteSpeed and NGINX tech—basically the Ferrari and Lamborghini of web hosting engines. And they didn’t stop there, their proprietary cPanel tweaks include one-click Softaculous installs and LiteSpeed caching that make managing websites less like rocket science and more like assembling IKEA furniture (well, almost).

Prices? They start at a cool INR 149/month. No sneaky fees hiding in the bushes, plus domain inclusions and a 30-day trial with a money-back guarantee. I mean, finding affordable hosting that doesn’t nickel-and-dime you feels rarer than a traffic-free Delhi morning.

The cherry on top? Their support. Toll-free calls, live chats, ticket systems, and even callbacks that respond in under 60 minutes—even if you’re running a tiny blog about your cat’s latest antics.

Real People, Real Praise

Cyberin doesn’t just talk the talk—they’ve got the reviews to back it up. Independent ratings clock in at a solid 4.3/5 for uptime, speed, and support. Customers rave about reliability and cost-effectiveness—phrases like “most reliable company I’ve come across” pop up more often than Bollywood song remixes on social media.

And if you’ve ever tried migrating a website (hint: it can be a nightmare), you’ll appreciate their hands-on approach. Their team swoops in like digital paramedics, making sure your site moves smoothly without losing a single pixel or visitor.

The People Behind the Magic

Peek behind the curtain, and you’ll find a happy bunch of employees. Cyberin scores 4.4/5 on AmbitionBox, with top marks for culture, job security, and benefits—more smiles per square inch than your average office cubicle. Glassdoor reviews mention a “friendly and inclusive management” and a fast-paced environment that’s perfect for those early in their careers (or anyone who hates boredom).

From Local Hero to Global Player

Cyberin’s journey reminds me of those inspiring stories where someone starts small—serving local businesses and blogs—and then suddenly finds themselves supporting customers across Asia, Europe, and North America. Over 26,000 users later, they’ve transformed from a homegrown host into a global powerhouse.

Key Ingredient	Why It Matters
Customer-first model	30-day trials, free backups, no hidden fees
Innovative tech	SSDs, caching, and developer-friendly tools
Global reach	Seven data centres for speed & resilience
Support excellence	Lightning-fast help & migration assistance
Employee happiness	Positive culture fuels better service

Why You Should Care

Cyberin’s story isn’t just about hosting websites—it’s about sticking to your guns with solid tech, fair pricing, and real people who care. In a world where many companies chase hype like Black Friday sales, Cyberin chooses value over flashiness. Plus, their community-first vibe means users aren’t just customers—they’re part of the family.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next?

With digital demands exploding post-pandemic (seriously, every business wants an app or website yesterday), Cyberin is gearing up to expand data centers, beef up cybersecurity offerings, and roll out even slicker developer tools. Their growth is perfectly aligned with the evolution of the internet itself, offering not just hosting but a comprehensive digital ecosystem ready to fuel innovation.

Final Thoughts

From its scrappy Delhi startup days to becoming a global player, Cyberin proves that with grit, smarts, and a genuine focus on customers and culture, even small companies can punch way above their weight. They’re not just into cPanel web hosting, they’re powering dreams, boosting startups, and securing digital futures worldwide.

If you ever find yourself stressing over where to host your next big project, consider Cyberin the underdog who turned into a champ without losing its heart. And hey, if they can do it while, so can you!

TRAI Launches Pilot Project for Digital Consent Management in Partnership with RBI and Banks

ST Correspondent — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 15:31:15 +0530

New Delhi, 16^th June, 2025: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has observed that a large number of spam complaints are made by the customers against the business entities from whom the consumers have earlier purchased goods or services. On investigation, such business entities often claim that they possess the consent of the consumer for receiving commercial calls and messages.

Under the regulatory framework defined by the Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations (TCCCPR), 2018, an entity can make commercial communications to a consumer irrespective of his/her Do Not Disturb (DND) preferences provided the entity has taken explicit consent from the consumer. However, in many cases, these consents were collected through offline or unverifiable means, making it extremely difficult to ascertain their validity and genuineness. In several instances, consumers report that their mobile numbers have been acquired by the entities for this purpose through misrepresentation, deception, or unauthorized data-sharing practices.

TRAI has undertaken several innovative regulatory measures in recent years to curb such practices. These include allowing consumers to register complaints against unregistered telemarketers (UTMs) even without prior DND registration, and initiating large-scale disconnection of telecom resources being misused by the entities for spamming activities. However, verification of consent for commercial communication citing offline consent of consumer, remains a formidable challenge.

To address the issue, the regulations provide for acquiring consent digitally by the entities and registering them in a secure and interoperable digital consent registry maintained by the Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) for easy verification of consents while commercial communication is made to the consumers. However, for successful operation of this consent registration framework, onboarding of entities sending commercial communications is a necessary requirement.

Accordingly, to begin the national roll-out, TRAI has launched a Pilot Project in coordination with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) involving select banks and has issued a Direction on 13^th June, 2025, to all the Telecom Service Providers, mandating them to pilot this framework in collaboration with banks. Given the sensitivity of banking transactions and cases of financial frauds through spam calls, the banking sector has been prioritized for the first phase of implementation. This Pilot, running under a Regulatory Sandbox framework, will validate the operational, technical, and regulatory aspects of the enhanced Consent Registration Function (CRF) and lay the foundation for sector-wise scaling of the digital consent ecosystem.

TRAI remains committed to safeguarding consumer interest and enhancing trust in legitimate commercial communications. The Authority will continue to work with sectoral regulators and stakeholders to ensure that the ecosystem evolves towards more secure, transparent, and consumer-centric practices.

Burning Problems of Exporters and Importers (and How to Solve Them)

ST Correspondent — Tue, 27 May 2025 21:30:35 +0530

New Delhi [India], May 27: Exporters and importers are increasingly relying on digital tools and data-driven strategies. Instead of guessing, they use large import-export data sets and analytics to guide decisions. Platforms aggregate trade data from dozens of markets, revealing new opportunities and risks. AI and machine learning scan shipment records to forecast demand or flag risky partners. Actionable trade intelligence now replaces outdated guesswork. Even in India, businesses now consult online portals for import-export data in India to make data-driven decisions.

Key Challenges

Trust and Credibility: Export and import companies often struggle to verify overseas partners. Many leads on trade portals remain unvetted, so firms cannot be sure if a buyer or supplier is reliable.
Payment Delays & Defaults: In international trade, payment issues are common. Exporters may have to wait months for funds or face a buyer who simply doesn’t pay; recovering money can be slow and expensive.
Poor Market Intelligence: Many businesses lack up-to-date market data. Without good export data or import data (for example, timely India exports and imports data), exporters may misjudge demand or miss trends.
Logistical Bottlenecks: Shipping delays and port congestion still plague global trade. A delayed container or customs holdup can disrupt schedules, and without real-time tracking, companies learn about delays too late.
Market Volatility: Fluctuating currencies, political crises or an unreliable buyer can derail a deal. Import-export firms need better data to anticipate and hedge against these risks.

How Data Analytics Offers Solutions

Advanced analytics unlock value from trade records. Historical data analysis can identify demand patterns (for example, showing seasonal spikes in exports from India). AI-driven platforms then turn raw import-export data into insights: they can surface credible buyers and spot anomalies like late payments. These platforms act as a virtual export-import databank. letting users filter by product or market. One industry source notes that such tools provide “actionable insights from a wide global trade database”. Armed with these insights, firms can forecast demand more accurately, choose partners with confidence, and reduce guesswork.

Role of AI, Visualisation & Smart Platforms

The Dollar Business’s Ex-Im platform exemplifies these advances. It is an AI-powered “superengine” that processes billions of data points and delivers actionable intelligence to exporters and importers. Its smart dashboard visualises key trade metrics (for example, top buyer countries or shipment volumes) in easy charts. Visualisation makes these insights accessible: as a U.S. trade agency notes, it helps users “absorb large amounts of data quickly” and “identify relationships and patterns faster”. In this way, both small businesses and larger firms can see market trends at a glance and make faster decisions.

Industry Examples

Blockchain and data-sharing initiatives show these ideas in action. For example, IBM’s Food Trust is used by companies like Carrefour and Nestlé to track food products end-to-end, so consumers can scan a QR code and verify origin. This transparency boosts reliability in complex supply chains.

The Road Ahead

Intelligent trade tools will only get more powerful. We expect AI to automate more tasks (like compliance checks or market analysis) and use new data sources (such as IoT sensors or economic reports). Open data initiatives could even create comprehensive international trade databases — a true export-import databank anyone can query. By making rich trade data and predictive analytics accessible to all, these innovations will help improve exporters’ and importers’ success rates worldwide.

Company Info

The Dollar Business is a multinational trade analytics company powering this transformation. Its EXIMAPS engine covers millions of companies worldwide (about 21 million exporters and importers from 181+ countries), effectively acting as a global databank of trade intelligence. With AI-driven analytics and a user-friendly portal, The Dollar Business helps manufacturers, traders and logistics firms find active markets and reliable partners. It provides insights on global trade trends (including detailed export data from India) to guide businesses through the complexities of the export-import business.

Why Local Vendors and SMEs Trust Uncle Delivery for Daily Deliveries

ST Correspondent — Thu, 15 May 2025 17:19:08 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], May 15 : The success of SMEs and local vendors depends heavily on timely and dependable deliveries. Whether it’s a boutique supplying garments to nearby stores or a restaurant delivering fresh produce from local suppliers, logistics plays a crucial role. For these businesses, delivery isn’t just a backend operation, it’s the front line of customer experience. However, not all logistics partners are created equal. Many struggle with rigid scheduling, high costs, or inconsistent service. That’s where Uncle Delivery has carved a unique space, offering flexible, affordable, and SME-friendly logistics solutions across multiple cities in India.

Uncle Delivery is more than just another delivery platform. It’s a hyperlocal logistics service tailored for businesses that need a quick and trustworthy way to move goods within their city. From groceries and electronics to heavy materials and documents, it provides end-to-end support that simplifies deliveries for thousands of vendors and SMEs.

Understanding the Daily Needs of SMEs and Local Vendors:

Small businesses often deal with unpredictable order volumes and tight delivery timelines. A bakery might need a sudden delivery of ingredients early in the morning. A local shop may want to send out products to customers scattered across the city before the day ends. Unlike larger corporations, SMEs typically do not have in-house delivery teams or long-term logistics contracts. They need delivery partners who offer same-day solutions, simple booking processes, and transparent pricing.

Uncle Delivery addresses these challenges head-on by making logistics flexible and hassle-free. It allows businesses to book deliveries on-demand or schedule them in advance depending on their needs. The platform caters to a wide range of delivery requirements, whether the goods weigh 500 grams or 500 kilograms. This versatility is a major advantage for businesses that operate in different categories or deal with varied product sizes and weights.

Moreover, many SMEs work with limited operational budgets. Uncle Delivery’s pricing model is transparent and competitive, ensuring that businesses are not burdened with hidden costs or complicated fee structures. Through an easy-to-use app, clients can estimate their delivery cost upfront by entering pickup and drop-off details. This helps in better financial planning and avoids unexpected expenses, something that matters a lot to smaller vendors.

Why Uncle Delivery Has Earned Trust:

The trust that Uncle Delivery enjoys today among thousands of users isn’t built overnight. It is a result of consistent service quality, customer-focused features, and genuine support for small businesses. The platform offers a wide selection of vehicle types including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and four-wheelers so that clients can choose exactly what they need based on the load. A shop delivering a lightweight parcel across town can opt for a two-wheeler, while a hardware supplier moving bulky items can choose a larger commercial vehicle.

One of the standout features that make Uncle Delivery dependable is its real-time tracking system. Businesses can track the movement of their package directly through the app, offering peace of mind and operational clarity. This is especially useful when customers expect timely deliveries and businesses want to stay informed about potential delays.

Equally important is the network of verified delivery partners. Uncle Delivery ensures that all drivers are trained and verified before they are allowed to accept orders. This focus on professionalism and safety contributes significantly to the platform’s reliability. Business owners can trust that their goods will be handled with care and delivered securely.

Customer support is another pillar of the service. Uncle Delivery provides active customer assistance to help with issues such as failed pickups, delivery clarifications, or rescheduling. The support is designed to be responsive and solution-oriented, ensuring minimal disruption to daily operations.

Empowering Growth Through Simplified Logistics:

Uncle Delivery doesn’t just provide delivery services. It enables local vendors and SMEs to scale their operations without the burden of maintaining a logistics fleet. For a startup or a growing business, logistics can often become a bottleneck, slowing down expansion or increasing overhead costs. Uncle Delivery removes that roadblock by offering a scalable, plug-and-play logistics model.

The platform’s multi-city presence in locations such as Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, makes it especially appealing to businesses that are expanding regionally. An SME with branches in more than one city can maintain consistent delivery standards using the same partner. This consistency improves operational efficiency and customer experience.

In addition, the app is built with user-friendly features to reduce friction. Business owners can schedule multiple pickups, save regular routes, and assign delivery tasks to preferred drivers. This level of control simplifies logistics management and reduces the administrative burden that usually comes with managing daily deliveries.

Uncle Delivery’s strong backend system also supports frequent and repeat users. For businesses with ongoing delivery needs, this translates to faster booking, route optimization, and smarter dispatch. With a few taps, a shop owner can set up multiple deliveries in a day without having to explain the process each time.

A Future-Ready Partner for Local Commerce:

As India’s SME ecosystem grows, the need for dependable intra-city delivery services will only increase. Uncle Delivery is already proving to be a crucial part of this movement. Its commitment to providing simple, fast, and affordable deliveries empowers businesses to stay competitive and serve their customers better. By offering reliable service across categories, transparent pricing, and a tech-enabled delivery platform, Uncle Delivery has established itself as a go-to solution for local vendors. It levels the playing field for small businesses, helping them operate with the speed and scale of much larger players, without the infrastructure or the cost.

Alkaione’s New Ultramax IX Is Here – And It’s Redefining What Healthy Water Means for Indian Homes

ST Correspondent — Fri, 09 May 2025 15:11:16 +0530

New Delhi [India], May 9: In a world where we track steps, count calories, and monitor sleep, one essential habit often gets overlooked — the water we drink. While most of us are content with “clean” water, the truth is, clean isn’t always enough anymore. Enter Alkaione — a brand that’s quietly transforming hydration into a smart, health-boosting habit, and now taking it a step further with their latest innovation: the Ultramax IX.

Founded by Anand Vishwanath, a passionate advocate for preventive health, Alkaione was born from a simple but powerful idea — that water can do more than hydrate. It can heal, energize, and protect us from the inside out. And with the launch of Ultramax IX, Alkaione is making that idea a beautiful reality for modern Indian households.

The Ultramax IX is India’s first wireless touch under-the-counter alkaline ionizer, and it’s as stylish as it is smart. With a minimalist design, a wireless faucet, and 5 customizable pH levels, it slips seamlessly under your sink while delivering alkaline, antioxidant-rich water straight from your tap.

But here’s what makes it really powerful — this isn’t just water. It’s functional water, packed with molecular hydrogen. Never heard of it? You’re not alone. But scientists around the world have studied it extensively, and the findings are remarkable. Molecular hydrogen helps:

Reduce oxidative stress (a major cause of ageing and disease)
Support immunity
Boost cellular energy
Improve skin and gut health

It’s like drinking wellness with every glass.

“At Alkaione, we believe water should nourish more than your thirst,” says Anand. “We’re giving people the chance to choose better — for their families, their health, and their future.”
What Experts Are Saying

Alkaione’s community is growing fast, and it’s no ordinary crowd. Health experts and industry leaders alike are standing behind it:

Dr. Radhakrishna, PRK Wellness Centres

“This is the future of hydration. My patients benefit greatly from antioxidant-rich, ionized water post-treatment.”

Motilal, Professional Wellness Coach, Hyderabad

“Alkaione water isn’t just clean — it’s functional. My wellness clients have noticed improved energy and digestion within weeks.”

Dr. Reshma Nilak, Founder of Sreeji Dental Care

“For oral care, the pH of the water matters. Alkaline water from Alkaione supports long-term dental health.”

Sandeep Kumar Makthala, Chairman of T-Consult & Global President of TITA

“Alkaione’s ionized water is a true wellness innovation. In the same way, we’re leveraging AI at T-Consult to transform rural healthcare, Alkaione is making advanced health accessible right in Indian kitchens.”

With over 10,000 homes already enjoying Alkaione across India, the brand is clearly striking a chord. In 2024, it was awarded “Most Innovative AI (Alkaline Ionized) Water Generator” by the TATVA Wellness Conclave and is proudly incubated at T-Hub, the world’s largest Startup incubator. Top leaders at T-Hub, including VP Srinivas Taluka and CBO Phanindra, have praised it as a game-changer in wellness technology.

No Filters. No Fuss. Big Savings.

One of Ultramax IX’s biggest innovations?

No filter cartridges
Zero recurring maintenance
Seamless integration with your RO system

That alone saves Indian families thousands of rupees annually, while giving them access to cleaner, healthier, hydrogen-rich water every day.

Be Part of the Wellness Shift

At Alkaione, we’re not just selling machines. We’re inviting you to shift your lifestyle — to stop reacting to illness and start preventing it with smarter daily choices. And it all starts with something as simple as powerful as water.

Base models start from just ₹95,000, with EMI options available.

The Future of Foreign Trade: Why Smart, Data-Driven Decisions Matter More Than Ever

ST Correspondent — Sat, 03 May 2025 14:53:21 +0530

New Delhi [India], May 2: Global trade isn’t what it used to be. In the past, foreign trade often ran on personal equations, handshake deals, and a fair bit of gut feeling. Where exporters once relied on long-standing relationships or gut instinct to guide deals, today’s market demands something more concrete.

The actual field is more competitive and complex, so businesses now seek clarity, and that clarity comes from reliable trade data. Decisions backed by solid numbers and trends are proving far more profitable and resilient than those made on hunches. A recent study found that 61% of potential exporters see a lack of customer and contact information as a major barrier, and 77% feel unsure about how to even begin exporting.

This highlights how critical clear, data-driven insight is in today’s foreign trade environment.

Making Data Your Strongest Ally

For traders, the challenge is not a shortage of data, but making sense of it. This is where Ex-Im by The Dollar Business comes in. Ex-Im is an AI-powered trade intelligence platform that serves as a reliable one-stop source for export-import data. Instead of sifting through scattered reports or wrestling with huge spreadsheets, we can rely on the vast, verified database to guide our decisions. (For Indian exporters and importers, having such a resource is a game-changer in levelling the playing field with global competitors.).

The platform transforms massive volumes of raw trade data into meaningful insights at the click of a button, delivering what The Dollar Business calls actionable intelligence—information you can directly use to make strategic moves, not just raw numbers on a page.

Behind the scenes, Ex-Im leverages advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to do the heavy lifting. Modern tools like this can process massive trade datasets in seconds, far beyond any manual capacity. Ex-Im’s AI engine, for instance, sifts through billions of data points to spot patterns and anomalies. This means it can EFFORTLESSLY highlight which markets are heating up, which products are in demand where, and even project upcoming trends, offering predictive insights that help us stay ahead of the curve. The days of gazing over endless rows of data in Excel are fading; AI does that grunt work for you.

For businesses, this translates to less time crunching numbers and more time making confident decisions based on clear evidence. In other words, you get to focus on strategy while the system handles the analysis.

The Ex-Im Advantage: Turning Trade Data into Strategy

So, how does Ex-Im turn raw data into real-world advantages? In simple terms, it takes a world of complex information and gives you a dashboard of actionable insights. Ex-Im continuously pulls information from global customs records, tracks buyer trends, and monitors live market intelligence, then distils it into knowledge you can use. The result is timely, fact-based clarity in place of guesswork. Here are some of Ex-Im’s standout capabilities that make trade data both actionable and strategic:

•Massive Global Database: Access a worldwide database of over 21 million buyers and sellers across 181+ countries. In one platform, you see who’s trading what and where, giving you a panoramic view of global opportunities.

•Advanced Trade Analytics: Break down trade data with AI-driven tools. Ex-Im helps you analyse shipment histories, track competitors’ moves, and uncover market trends. You can dive into Trade Analysis, Country Analysis, and Port Analysis features to pinpoint rising demand or emerging supply gaps before others do.

•Real-Time Market Intelligence: Stay updated with live data feeds on buyer behaviour, pricing, and shipping volumes. Ex-Im keeps its data current, so you catch shifts in the market as they happen. This real-time insight means you can respond to changes (or seize opportunities) with agility and confidence.

•Verified Buyer/Seller Contacts: Find and connect with genuine trade partners directly. Ex-Im provides human-verified contact details of key decision-makers at potential buyer and supplier companies, so you’re reaching real people (import/export managers, CEOs, etc.) and not dead ends. This vastly improves your success rate in building new trade relationships.

•User-Friendly Interface: Using Ex-Im doesn’t require being a data scientist. The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate—search by product, HS code, or company name and get instant results. There’s no steep learning curve, which means you spend less time figuring out the tool and more time acting on its insights. It’s designed so that even a small business owner can quickly tap into sophisticated data without hassle.

It’s no surprise that industry veterans see the value in such a data-driven tool. As Dr. A. K. Sengupta (former Dean of IIFT) noted, “EXIMAPS is a revolutionary technology in foreign trade,” a strong endorsement urging all exporters and importers to give it a try. When a seasoned expert calls a platform “mind-moving” and recommends it to the world, it underscores how game-changing the right trade intelligence can be.

Data in Action: Real Success Stories

Consider a spice exporter from Gujarat who had always sold to a few familiar overseas buyers. For years, his business growth had plateaued. Looking for new avenues, he turned to data. Using Ex-Im, he discovered that demand for his specialty spices was surging in markets like South Korea and the UAE—places he hadn’t seriously explored before. Armed with this insight, he reached out (with verified contacts from the platform) and secured multiple new orders. Within a year, his export revenues jumped by 30%, and he diversified his client base beyond the small circle of buyers he’d relied on for decades. In short, data opened a door that instinct alone had kept shut.

Similarly, a leather goods manufacturer in Kanpur found his traditional markets becoming saturated with competitors. Instead of accepting the decline, he dived into export-import data for answers. Ex-Im’s analytics revealed that certain leather accessories he made were in growing demand in Eastern Europe—a region he had never targeted. The platform even flagged a few mid-sized European importers looking for new suppliers. Acting on these leads, the manufacturer connected with a buyer in Poland who placed a substantial order. This one data-driven pivot filled his factory’s order book for the next two quarters and reduced his dependence on the slowing domestic market. He effectively opened a new revenue stream abroad simply by following the intel that the data provided.

In both cases, the key was a shift from guesswork to a data-driven strategy. By trusting Ex-Im’s unique and reliable trade intelligence over intuition, these companies gained a strategic edge that old-school approaches simply couldn’t match. The results speak for themselves—leveraging trustworthy data led to tangible business wins.

Embracing the Data-Driven Future

As global trade enters a new digital era, staying competitive will hinge on staying informed. Digital preparedness is no longer optional; it’s a strategic imperative. Across the world, companies are embracing AI and big data to sharpen their trade decisions. Indian exporters and importers who adopt modern tools like Ex-Im put themselves in a position to make faster, smarter moves and adapt quickly to market changes. They can anticipate trends rather than just react to them, find buyers before their competitors do, and respond to global shifts with agility and confidence.

Simply put, data-driven decision-making is set to define the future of foreign trade. The businesses that invest in these digital trade solutions today will be the ones leading the market tomorrow. By harnessing the power of platforms like Ex-Im, Indian traders can ensure they remain competitive, strategic, and relevant in the global arena, not just now, but for years to come. The future of foreign trade belongs to those who are prepared, and being prepared means being smart, data-driven, and ready to act.

New Delhi [India], April 26: In the heart of India’s bustling student capital, Delhi University, a bold new fashion statement is emerging — and it’s being led by a 20-year-old boy from Patna, Bihar. Meet Mahboob Alam, the young visionary who, along with his friend and co-founder Pritpal Singh, is changing the way Gen Z dresses, one tee at a time.

Their venture, DU Wears, isn’t just another apparel line. It’s an exclusive fashion brand designed specifically for Delhi University students, capturing the bold, expressive, and unapologetic traits of Gen Z. From trendy graphic t-shirts, DU Wears is becoming the voice of the campus youth. And yes it’s live now at www.duwears.com

How One Idea Sparked a Movement

The story of DU Wears is the perfect example of how inspiration can strike at the most unexpected moments. It all began when Mahboob and Pritpal attended a workshop at IIT Roorkee. There, amidst all the tech talks and AI discussions, they noticed students confidently flaunting their college merchandise. Sweatshirts and tees that screamed pride and identity.

That visual stuck with them.

On their train ride back to Delhi, an idea started to take shape: Why doesn’t Delhi University, one of India’s most prestigious student hubs, have its own exclusive fashion brand? And more importantly, why not create a Gen Z-centric label that isn’t afraid to break the rules?

What started as a conversation soon turned into a mission.

A Journey Fueled by Hustle, Research, and Viral Content

Launching a fashion brand is no easy feat — especially for college students juggling academics and side hustles. It took over 1.5 months of intense research, from sourcing the perfect high-quality fabric from Ludhiana to negotiating with manufacturers who understood their vision.

“We didn’t want to compromise,” Mahboob recalls. “This wasn’t just about clothes; it was about identity, culture, and the Gen Z attitude.”

During this phase, the duo smartly decided to document their journey. They launched a 7-day social media series called ‘Building a Fashion Brand’, where they shared behind-the-scenes clips — from fabric selection to design trials and their first bulk order. The series unexpectedly blew up, garnering lakhs of views on Instagram.

It proved two things:

1. There’s a massive appetite for authentic, student-led brands.

2. Gen Z connects with stories, not just products.

Meet Mahboob Alam: The Boy Beyond Business

While DU Wears has been grabbing headlines, Mahboob Alam isn’t new to the limelight. A published author and youth entrepreneur, Mahboob penned the widely acclaimed book ‘Tangled Entangled GenZ’ — a deep dive into the complex, hyperconnected lives of today’s young adults.

In 2024, his work earned him the National Icon Award, recognizing his unique contribution to understanding Gen Z’s mindset in modern India.

When asked about what fuels his creativity and drive, Mahboob credits his schooling years at Radiant International School, Patna. “Our school gave equal importance to extracurricular activities,” he shares. “Whether it was debate, music, or sports we were encouraged to express ourselves, and that made all the difference.”

His passion? Building brands for Gen Z, by Gen Z. He firmly believes that no one understands this generation better than themselves.

Industry Experts Weigh In*

We reached out to Delhi University professor from Commerce Faculty, a mentor to several young students on campus, to get her take on the DU Wears phenomenon.

“It’s refreshing to see commerce students translating theory into action,” she says. “Startups like DU Wears give students real-world experience in brand building, financial management, and digital marketing. More than just a fashion label, it’s a movement that builds stage for other to do and learn but also keeping the studies in mind and not comprising on grades.

Professor adds, “If they stay consistent and continue evolving with market trends, DU Wears has the potential to scale up beyond DU, perhaps even turn into a national youth fashion brand.”

What’s Next for DU Wears?

While the brand currently offers exclusive, limited-edition drops for DU students, Mahboob and Pritpal have bigger plans. They’re eyeing expansions into other universities, collaborations with influencers, and launching merch for upcoming college fests across Delhi NCR.

Their vision is simple yet powerful: Make DU Wears the fashion voice of India’s college students.

Why This Story Matters

In a world saturated with mass-market brands, DU Wears stands out for its authenticity, purpose, and grassroots energy. It’s not backed by celebrity endorsements or giant marketing budgets. Instead, it’s driven by two young dreamers who dared to challenge the status quo.

And if their story proves anything, it’s that your next big idea could be sitting in your college cafeteria or a late-night hostel conversation. All it takes is the courage to chase it.

Meet Fleek: The Ultimate App to Track, Manage & Save on Your Subscriptions

ST Correspondent — Fri, 18 Apr 2025 23:40:00 +0530

New Delhi [India], April 18: From binge-worthy content on Sony LIV, Zee5, and JioCinema, to morning workouts with CultPass, peaceful nights with Headspace, and storage backups via Google One—the way we consume entertainment, stay fit, learn, and work has fundamentally changed. We no longer own products; we subscribe to experiences. And it’s growing fast.

In India alone, the digital subscription economy is booming, with millions of young users opting for flexible, recurring services across OTT platforms, wellness, productivity, cloud storage, e-learning, and more. But with this convenience comes a new kind of chaos.

How many of us know how much we’re spending each month?
How often have you been charged for something you forgot to cancel?
How many subscriptions are you splitting but not tracking properly?

For the modern digital consumer—especially students, creators, freelancers, and professionals—managing subscriptions has become a confusing, fragmented mess.

That’s Where Fleek Comes In

Fleek was born out of a simple but urgent idea: to help users track, manage, share, and save on all their subscriptions from one beautifully designed app.

Think of Fleek as your subscription command center—a smart, intuitive tool that not only shows you everything you’re paying for, but also helps you make smarter decisions around those payments.

Whether you’re subscribed to Zee5 for your daily serials, Skillshare for your side hustle, or Spotify for your music runs, Fleek makes sure you’re always in control.

And now, with the launch of Fleek 2.0, that experience has been supercharged.

What’s New in Fleek 2.0?

Smarter. Sharper. Built for the lifestyle you live.

When Fleek first launched, it addressed a growing problem—subscription overload. Users across India were juggling multiple apps and payments with no central place to manage them. Fleek offered a powerful solution that quickly became a favorite among the digital-first crowd.

But as user behavior evolved, so did the challenge. So the Fleek team went back to the drawing board with one mission: build a version that’s not just better, but brilliant.

Smart Campuses, Safer Students: The Rise of Hostel Management Tech in India

ST Correspondent — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 15:16:08 +0530

New Delhi [India], April 2: For decades, managing student hostels in India has been riddled with inefficiencies. With over 40,000 colleges and 1,000 universities housing millions of students, institutions have struggled with manual record-keeping, delayed communication, and outdated safety protocols. Wardens have had to track attendance, handle emergencies, and manage daily operations using paper registers and phone calls, while parents often remained in the dark about their children’s well-being.

Even basic processes—like late-night medical exits or weekend permissions—were entangled in bureaucracy, creating frustration among students and straining trust between families and institutions. But with rising enrolments and increasing safety expectations, campuses are now embracing hostel management platforms—smart solutions that streamline operations and create a transparent, connected ecosystem for students, parents, and administrators.

Revolutionizing Campus Operations: Student and Institutional Impact

Digital solutions are untangling years of inefficiencies.

At SOA University, Bhubaneswar, students previously navigated a complex maze of paperwork for simple permissions. “Getting approval meant running between offices,” recalls Payal Das, a medical student. “Now, I just tap a button, my parent approves via WhatsApp, and I’m out—no stress.”

Efficiency like this is driving rapid adoption across India, with platforms like FretBox replacing manual workflows. Ashish Gupta, Founder of FretBox, highlights the broader impact: “Every alert that reassures a parent, every minute saved for a warden—that’s why we built this. We’re not just automating hostels; we’re rebuilding trust.” This transformation aligns with India’s “Building for Bharat” vision, which prioritizes scalable, tech-driven solutions, added Mr. Gupta.

“These platforms are solving long-standing pain points while addressing cultural anxieties,” notes Gupta. With an asset-light SaaS model and 100% client retention, FretBox and similar platforms are poised to onboard 100+ institutions by 2025, with a strong focus on Tier 2/3 cities, home to 60% of India’s student population.

At KIIT University, Director of Administration Snehasish Rout recalls past challenges, “Tracking 20,000 students was overwhelming. Previously, we had to download reports and manually analyze incidents, making the process slow and inefficient. Now, automation handles it seamlessly, allowing us to focus on student well-being. We’ve also built a direct communication channel with students—they can now reach out for help without bureaucratic layers. As a result, we’re resolving hostel complaints faster than ever before.”

Beyond logistics, this digital shift is strengthening parental confidence. At Galgotias University, hostel manager Ramveer Singh attributes a 20% rise in enrolments to parents’ trust in real-time safety updates enabled by the platform.

Modern hostel management platforms offer: AI-driven safety protocols; Geofenced alerts & real-time tracking; automated workflows for approvals; FretBox’s real-time tracking has reduced warden response times by 70%, while its AI-powered mess system has helped cut food waste by 30%.

With policy backing and growing market momentum, hostel management technology is becoming a cornerstone of India’s education evolution. By blending automation with human connection, these platforms are turning systemic challenges into solutions—enhancing safety, transparency, and trust. As smart campus solutions continue to reshape Indian universities, one thing is clear: tech-driven hostels lead to safer students and stronger institutions.

Vedanta transforming Odisha into a global powerhouse

ST Correspondent — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 21:52:55 +0530

Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], March 31: Odisha is a state of many triumphs. Its mineral-rich reserves have transformed the state into a key manufacturing hub in India with one of the most vibrant industrial ecosystems. This transformation is being driven by the state’s progressive business environment, abundant resources and skilled human capital. This rise is driven in significant part through the state’s metals and mining sector.

“Our journey in Odisha has been nothing short of transformative. From breaking barriers with the country’s first women-operated potline to fostering sustainable growth through our skill development and environmental initiatives, we are deeply committed to shaping Odisha’s bright future,” commented Vedanta Aluminium Chief Operating Officer (COO) Mr Sunil Gupta.

He added, “Our latest investment of ₹1 lakh crore is a testament to our enduring belief in the state’s potential to lead India’s industrial revolution.”

Aluminium, widely hailed as the ‘Metal’ of the Future’, has been identified as a critical metal for emerging green technologies, which will power India’s Net Zero Carbon journey. According to the Indian Minerals Yearbook 2021, the state accounts for 41% of the bauxite (aluminium ore) resources in the country, making it an essential hub for the global aluminium value chain. As India grows to become a $5 trillion economy, aluminium demand will rise significantly. Odisha, therefore, stands well-poised to meet this opportunity.

Thus, Vedanta’s confidence in Odisha’s immense potential is evident through its extensive operations and status as the largest investor in the state with a combined investment of ₹1,00,000 crores that stands as Vedanta’s largest investment globally.

While Vedanta’s 1.8 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) smelter facility in Jharsuguda is world’s largest and stands as the sole Indian smelter in the prestigious global one (01) million tonne club, the company also operates a world-class 3.5 MTPA alumina refinery at Lanjigarh in Kalahandi district of Odisha.

Hence, more than 20,000 MSMEs have grown up around the company’s operations fostered by its expansive production and supplier networks.

Besides, Vedanta has also commenced mining operations in several districts of Odisha, while each of which has the potential to create up to 10,000 livelihood opportunities both directly and indirectly. Together, they have been widely hailed for bringing remote regions into the socio-economic mainstream as well as contributing nearly four per cent (4%) to Odisha’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP).

At the Utkarsh Odisha Global Investment Conclave, Vedanta Aluminium announced ₹1 lakh crore investment aimed at accelerating Odisha’s industrial growth. The MoU, signed in presence of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and Vedanta Chairman Anil Agarwal, marks the development of a 3 MTPA aluminium plant and a state-of-the-art aluminium park at Jharsuguda.

Spanning over 253 acres, the park will attract over 100 SMEs and MSMEs generating two (02) lakh employment opportunities and creating additional value worth ₹4,500 crores for Odisha.

Positioning Odisha as a global hub for aluminium manufacturing, this transformative project will also bolster downstream industries in automotive, power, construction and logistics.

Vedanta Aluminium’s acquisition of the Kalinga Lancers, a premier hockey team based in Bhubaneswar, further underscores its commitment to Odisha’s sporting heritage. This initiative aligns with Vedanta’s broader mission to foster youth talent, community engagement, and sports infrastructure in Odisha

The company’s efforts focus on key areas such as livelihood, education, healthcare, infrastructure, grassroots sports, and cultural development. A cornerstone of its work in rural development is the establishment of 531 Nand Ghars—modernized Anganwadi centers dedicated to the well-being of women and children. In the healthcare domain, the Vedanta Hospital in Lanjigarh provides free medical services to more than 67,000 people annually.

A unique feature of Vedanta Aluminium is its Jharsuguda smelter plant with fully women-operated potline – a first for India’s aluminium industry. The company is also the first in Odisha to deploy women in night shift operations through its project ‘Shree Shakti’ initiative.

Conceptualized and guided by Vedanta Group Chairman Mr Anil Agarwal, ‘Project Panchhi’ provides financial support for higher education to young women, who after completing educational qualifications are offered employment opportunities within Vedanta’s core operations.

Through ‘Project Panchhi’, Vedanta is not only dismantling gender stereotypes in the traditionally male-dominated metals and mining sector, but also aiming to achieve thirty per cent (30%) women in its workforce by FY2030, a benchmark for inclusivity and operational excellence.

Why Most AI Fails at Customer Service (And What Needs to Change)

ST Correspondent — Sat, 29 Mar 2025 16:43:48 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 29 : Imagine this: You’re trying to book a last-minute flight. You call customer service, only to be met with an endless automated menu, long hold times, and robotic responses. Frustrated, you hang up and try an online chat—only to repeat the same information. Sound familiar?

For years, AI in customer service has been synonymous with frustration. Businesses have invested in automation, but instead of making things easier, it has left customers feeling unheard. What if AI could do better? What if it could actually understand, respond like a human, and seamlessly adapt to your needs?

That’s exactly what Edysor.ai is setting out to do. And with its official launch on March 18th, businesses are about to witness a revolution in how they engage with customers.

Unlike traditional automation, Edysor.ai is built to listen, learn, and respond in real-time. It doesn’t just detect keywords and spit out pre-written responses—it understands tone, sentiment, and context, making every conversation feel fluid and human-like.

Imagine an international student trying to navigate the complex world of admissions, visas, and financial aid. Instead of digging through endless websites, Edysor.ai acts as a virtual advisor, offering clear, personalized guidance tailored to their academic background and career aspirations. Or picture a homebuyer looking for properties—Edysor.ai can answer inquiries, schedule viewings, and even suggest financing options, all in a way that feels natural and effortless.

One of the biggest headaches for customers? Having to repeat their issue every time they switch channels. Start a conversation over chat, move to email, then call in—only to be asked the same questions again and again.

Edysor.ai eliminates this frustration by offering a true omnichannel experience. Whether a customer starts an inquiry on WhatsApp, switches to a chatbot, and later calls in, Edysor.ai remembers the entire conversation history, ensuring seamless, personalized interactions. No more starting from scratch—just smooth, effortless service.

Let’s talk numbers:

60% of customers expect an immediate response.
80% will abandon a purchase if they feel disengaged.
$55 billion is lost annually due to poor customer service.

Industries like travel, real estate, and education can’t afford slow responses:

In travel, customers need fast answers on bookings, itinerary changes, and cancellations—Edysor.ai provides instant, multilingual support, preventing revenue loss.
In real estate, slow responses mean lost leads. Edysor.ai helps schedule property viewings and answer financing queries instantly.
In education, delayed responses lead to student drop-offs. Edysor.ai acts as a 24/7 advisor, guiding students through admissions in real time.

With AI playing a bigger role in customer interactions, concerns about data security, bias, and transparency are growing. Under the leadership of Director Abhinav Jain, Edysor.ai prioritizes ethical AI practices, ensuring fair, unbiased, and regulation-compliant interactions.

Customers deserve automation that is both powerful and responsible. Edysor.ai is committed to delivering that.

The world is changing. Customers no longer want to talk to robotic bots or wait hours for a response. They expect AI to understand, anticipate, and respond like a human would.

With its groundbreaking conversational AI, seamless omnichannel support, and industry-specific adaptability, Edysor.ai is proving that AI-driven engagement can be as natural and intuitive as a face-to-face conversation.

For businesses looking to stay ahead, March 18th marks the beginning of a new era.

Why Cloud Accounting is the Future for SMEs

ST Correspondent — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 18:11:16 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 25 : Ok, let’s get straight to the point managing accounts manually is a nightmare. If you’re still buried under spreadsheets, flipping through receipts, and stressing over missing numbers, you’re doing SME’s business the difficult way. It’s like using a typewriter when the world has moved on to voice-to-text—literally!

Welcome to cloud accounting—the smartest, easiest way to manage your finances without losing sleep (or your data). If you’re wondering, “Do I really need this?” keep reading. By the end, you’ll be asking yourself, “Why didn’t I switch sooner?”

First, What Even is Cloud Accounting?

Imagine all your financial data—your invoices, transactions, reports, and expenses—securely stored online and accessible anytime from any device. No more “I left that file on my office laptop.” No more “Where did I save last month’s report?” No more “Oops, my hard drive crashed, and I lost everything.” Everything stays safe, updated, and accessible, no matter where you are. Sounds like a dream? It’s reality. And that’s why SME’s everywhere are moving to cloud accounting.

Why Cloud Accounting is a No-Brainer for SME’s

Still unsure if cloud accounting is worth it? Let’s break it down.

Your financial data isn’t trapped on one computer—it’s everywhere you need it to be. You can check your cash flow while sipping chai at your favorite café, approve invoices while stuck in traffic (as a passenger, of course), and access reports from your phone when a client suddenly asks for details. SME’s business isn’t tied to one place, so why should your accounting be? With hisabkitab’s mobile app, available on both Android and iOS, you can manage your SME’s business finances from anywhere—whether you’re in the office or on the go.

Nobody starts a SME’s business because they love manually entering numbers. Cloud accounting automates all those time-consuming tasks, making SME’s business operations smoother. Invoices get sent automatically, expenses are tracked in real time, and payment reminders go out on their own. This means less work, fewer mistakes, and more time to actually grow your SME’s business.

You know that mini heart attack you get when your laptop crashes, and you haven’t backed up your files? That doesn’t happen with cloud accounting. No more lost receipts, no more corrupt files, and no more scrambling to find missing reports. Everything is backed up automatically, so your financial data stays safe—no matter what happens to your device. Hisabkitab’s mobile app securely stores and makes your financial records accessible across devices, making accounting truly hassle-free.

Spreadsheets are great… until they aren’t. One wrong formula, one deleted cell, and suddenly, your entire report is a mess. Cloud accounting keeps everything organized, error-free, and far less stressful. Reports are generated automatically, cash flow updates in real time, and financial statements are one click away—not buried in twenty different folders. This means less stress and more clarity in financial planning.

Why SME’s Are Choosing hisabkitab for Cloud Accounting

So, we’ve established that cloud accounting is the future. However, not all cloud accounting tools are created equal. That’s where hisabkitab comes in. It’s built specifically for Indian SME’s- whether you’re a freelancer, a startup, a SME’s business, or an agency, it’s designed to make accounting simple, seamless, and stress-free.

The pricing is affordable, with no hidden costs, just real value for money.

The platform is also accessible across multiple devices, allowing you to switch between desktop, mobile, or tablet without any hassle. Basically, it’s like having a full-time accountant—without the hefty salary.

The Future is Here—Are You Ready?

We’ve automated our food orders. We’ve automated our shopping. We’ve even automated our reminders to drink water. So why are we still managing our finances the old-school way? Cloud accounting isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a necessity for SME’s that want to save time by automating financial tasks, cut down errors, and keep records accurate while making smarter SME’s business decisions with real-time insights. The best part? Getting started is ridiculously easy.

Switch to Smart Accounting with hisabkitab

The future is here—let’s make the switch. Join thousands of SME’s using hisabkitab today!

Sidhant Gupta, Former Director of Kwality Ltd, on India’s Luxury Real Estate Boom in 2025

ST Correspondent — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 16:06:50 +0530

New Delhi [India], March 18: The luxury housing segment in India’s real estate sector is experiencing a remarkable boom, driven by a growing demand for high-end living spaces. This trend is not only reshaping the residential landscape but also propelling the overall growth of the real estate industry.

Sidhant Gupta, former director of Kwality discusses the rise of luxury housing and how this trend is here to stay.

In 2024, India witnessed a significant surge in the demand for luxury homes priced at Rs 4 crore and above, with sales increasing by 53% across seven major cities. According to CBRE’s data, the total number of luxury housing units sold reached 19,700, marking a substantial rise from the 12,895 units sold in the previous year. This remarkable growth underscores the robust demand for high-end properties in India’s key urban markets.

Sidhant Gupta notes, “The luxury housing boom in India is a testament to the country’s growing wealth and the aspirations of its affluent class. The demand for luxury properties is no longer just about owning a home; it’s about making a statement of status and enjoying an elevated lifestyle.”

But why is this the luxury segment booming?

This boom is driven by a combination of economic, social, and lifestyle factors that have transformed the residential landscape across major cities like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.

The rapid growth of high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNIs) in India is a pivotal factor driving the demand for luxury properties. As of 2024, India ranks sixth globally in UHNIs, with a population of approximately 13,600, marking a 6% annual growth rate. This figure is projected to rise by 50% by 2028, significantly outpacing the global average growth rate of 30%.

HNIs, defined as individuals with investable assets of at least $1 million, are also on the rise, with their numbers expected to double from 850,000 to 1.65 million by 2027. Notably, a significant portion of these millionaires are young entrepreneurs, with 20% of HNIs under the age of 40 and 15% under 30, driven by success in start-ups and tech ventures. This demographic shift is reshaping wealth creation, with a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship rather than traditional inheritance.

Sidhant Gupta believes, “The traditional path to wealth, once heavily reliant on inheritance, is giving way to a new era of self-made success. Today, India’s young entrepreneurs are increasingly forging their own paths to prosperity, leveraging innovation and technology to build their fortunes from scratch. This shift isn’t just about changing how wealth is created; it’s about redefining what it means to be successful in India.”

The growing wealth and disposable income of HNIs and UHNIs have led to increased spending on luxury goods and services, including high-end real estate. Luxury homes, which offer exclusivity, status, and lifestyle enhancements, have become a preferred investment option for these affluent individuals. The demand for luxury properties is not just about owning a home; it’s about making a statement of status and enjoying an elevated lifestyle that reflects their wealth and aspirations.

Another factor is that the COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted lifestyle preferences, particularly in the luxury housing sector. There has been a marked shift towards larger, more integrated living spaces that prioritize wellness and offer a seamless blend of technology, comfort, and exclusivity.

“Luxury homes are no longer just about opulence; they are now designed to provide holistic living experiences that cater to physical, mental, and emotional well-being.” Says Sidhant Gupta “This includes the incorporation of wellness-focused amenities such as meditation rooms, yoga studios, spas, and hydrophilic gardens, all of which enhance residents’ health and well-being, he adds.

The integration of smart home technology has become a standard feature in luxury homes, enhancing convenience and security. These systems include voice-controlled operations, automated lighting, temperature control, and advanced security systems.

Additionally, luxury buyers increasingly seek personalized services that make their lives easier, such as private concierge services, support staff, and exclusive clubhouse memberships, offering residents a lifestyle akin to that of a luxury hotel.

Choosing the Right E-Commerce Order Management System: 6 Key Features

ST Correspondent — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 13:42:27 +0530

Explore 6 key features of e-Commerce order management system to optimise operations and enhance customer satisfaction.

New Delhi [India], February 28 : Businesses in both retail and e-Commerce industries have similar supply chain management challenges. Processing orders has become complicated and multifaceted due to shorter order cycle times, evolving customer demands, and an explosion of order and delivery channels.

Due to this, the adoption rates for e-Commerce order management systems are soaring. If every challenge that occurs in the order-to-delivery process is a snowball, these snowballs can quickly become an avalanche of operational bottlenecks and order mishaps if left unaddressed.

E-Commerce businesses can’t afford to act on these order management challenges one by one, both in terms of money and time. What they need is a fast, efficient, and modern software solution—precisely what e-Commerce order management systems offer.

In this article, we provide insights and facts as to how to adopt the right system for your e-Commerce business.

Choosing the Right e-Commerce Order Management Systems: 6 Essential Software Features to Look For

Real-Time Order Tracking and Status Notifications

A robust tracking mechanism ensures both customers and your internal teams always know the status of every order. Whenever an order is placed, the system creates a dedicated ID that monitors the item’s journey.

Customers can log in or receive automated emails or texts to see exactly when their product is set to arrive. Meanwhile, your staff can simultaneously view this information, making it easier to handle inquiries, resolve delivery snags, and proactively address any shipping delays.

The data generated by these tracking tools can also reveal areas for improvement in your fulfillment process.

Seamless System Integrations

Whether you rely on tools like WMS (Warehouse Management System), WCS (Warehouse Control System), or WES (Warehouse Execution System), your OMS must be able to link up with all crucial internal and external platforms.

Proper e-Commerce API integrations allow for a constant flow of real-time data among various systems, ensuring that the entire supply chain—from stock checks to order fulfillment—runs like a well-oiled machine.

For instance, if a particular product sells out, the interconnected systems detect and notify relevant teams so they can respond promptly.

Efficient Returns and Exchanges Handling

A smooth returns and exchanges process can significantly enhance customer loyalty.

In an effective e-Commerce order management system, the software takes over once a customer initiates a return, guiding them step by step, generating return labels, and tracking the item’s condition when it arrives back at your facilities.

The system then either processes a quick refund or facilitates an exchange. Additionally, analytics tied to returns management can spotlight recurring product issues or customer pain points, helping you pinpoint what needs fixing.

Unified Cross-Channel Management

An automated order management system with cross-channel capabilities syncs stock levels and order details across multiple selling platforms—websites, mobile apps, brick-and-mortar stores, and more.

This synchronicity protects you from accidental overselling and keeps customers informed about precise product availability regardless of where they shop.

Ensuring real-time updates across channels maintains transparency and bolsters overall customer satisfaction.

Intelligent Order Routing and Allocation

With this functionality, your e-Commerce order management system applies sophisticated algorithms to determine the best fulfillment center for each order.

Factors such as geographical proximity, inventory levels, and shipping expenses are automatically analysed to ensure the product is routed through the most optimal path.

By dispatching items from the nearest available warehouse or store, you reduce shipping times and costs while streamlining logistics.

This smart approach to routing dramatically boosts overall operational efficiency.

Data-driven reporting and Analytics

Ultimately, a good e-Commerce order management system shouldn’t just help you reconcile the past and present but also plan for the future.

It should offer reporting tools that analyse sales trends, order processing times, and buyer habits. Visual dashboards and clear metrics enable you to identify inefficiencies or seasonal patterns.

With this information at your fingertips, you can refine your marketing efforts, optimise inventory management, and make better predictions about demand.

The result: smarter, data-backed decisions that drive growth.

Final Thoughts

When scouting for an e-Commerce order management system, prioritise features that boost your operational efficiency, unify processes across various channels, and elevate the customer experience.

By carefully evaluating these core components—tracking, inventory visibility, intelligent routing, customisation, e-Commerce API integration, returns handling, cross-channel functionality, and analytical capabilities—you’ll be well on your way to choosing a solution that best meets the needs of your evolving e-Commerce business.

Or, you can simply choose Ordazzle’s comprehensive e-Commerce order management system to get the job done well for you.

Sahil Juneja: An Indian Filmmaker Making Waves in Global Cinema

ST Correspondent — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 12:59:46 +0530

New Delhi [India] : Indian storytelling has always been rich, diverse, and deeply rooted in culture. But in today’s interconnected world, few filmmakers have managed to take these stories beyond our borders while preserving their authenticity. One name that stands out in this endeavor is Sahil Juneja, a visionary filmmaker from Gujarat who is redefining how Indian narratives are presented to global audiences.

A Storyteller with a Mission

Sahil Juneja is not just a filmmaker; he is a storyteller with a purpose. Over the years, he has worked on numerous award-winning projects across genres, seamlessly blending Indian emotions with universal themes. His production house, Chanting Yogi Motion Pictures LLC, headquartered in Los Angeles, has become a significant player in international cinema, ensuring Indian stories receive the recognition they deserve.

Juneja’s work extends far beyond entertainment. His projects resonate because they delve into the complexities of human emotions while staying true to the Indian cultural ethos. By producing films that speak to both Indian and global audiences, he is crafting a unique cinematic language that bridges the gap between cultures.

A Unique Approach to Global Storytelling

Sahil Juneja’s filmmaking philosophy goes beyond representing a single culture—his approach is rooted in diversity, both in the stories he tells and the audiences he reaches. He crafts narratives that resonate across cultures, blending genres, themes, and perspectives that appeal to a global audience.

His film I Am Eshu, for instance, is inspired by African folklore, showcasing his commitment to telling stories beyond borders while maintaining cultural authenticity. From gripping crime dramas like Call Me an Assassin to nostalgic Indian romances like Sittu, and from animated adventures like Kevin Vs Biggie to the innovative horror of Death Can Wait, Juneja ensures that his films are universally engaging while staying true to their roots. His commitment to storytelling that embraces diversity sets him apart, making Chanting Yogi Motion Pictures LLC a production house that stands at the crossroads of cultures, bringing people together through the power of cinema.

Juneja is changing this perception by showcasing India through the lens of an Indian filmmaker. His commitment to authenticity ensures that audiences worldwide experience Indian culture, traditions, and emotions in their truest form.

His films serve as a reminder that Indian cinema is more than just Bollywood—it is a vast tapestry of stories that deserve to be told with honesty and integrity. By doing so, he is giving Indians across the world a sense of pride and representation on the global stage.

The Road Ahead

Sahil Juneja’s journey in cinema is far from over. With new projects in the pipeline, he is poised to continue his mission of bringing Indian stories to the world without compromise.

Voice Channel AI Disruption (VCAD): The Rise of AI-Powered Calls Disrupting Customer Service Operations

ST Correspondent — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 16:14:45 +0530

New York City (New York) [USA], February 17 : Imagine a bank customer service person taking what looks to be a typical call. The caller appears normal, asks intelligent questions, and even becomes irritated—but it is not a genuine client. It is exactly what it says: an AI bot. This bot delays actual clients for ten minutes, costing the company millions in lost productivity.

As more sophisticated attack methods are used, disruptions are becoming more common. The complexity of AI-driven attacks is growing, with businesses facing unexpected threats. This new wave of threat, known as Voice Channel AI Disruption (VCAD), is an advanced AI-driven attack that doesn’t rely on overwhelming call volumes like traditional Telephony Denial of Service (TDoS) attacks. Instead, it employs advanced conversational AI bots that exploit corporate resources and avoid detection systems to engage in long, realistic conversations with call center staff. Numerous bot assaults are causing a lot of damage, accounting for up to 11.8% of all cyber losses globally. Bot attacks rose by 88% in 2022 and 28% in 2023, respectively.

How does Voice Channel AI Disruption (VCAD) Work?

Fewer Calls, More Wasted Time

VCAD attacks don’t deluge businesses with short calls; instead, they involve fewer but lengthier conversations. These calls keep agents busy, which gradually lowers productivity and makes it more difficult to identify the attack.

2. Long, Realistic Conversations

Unlike typical bots, which use scripted communications, VCAD bots sound human. They utilize artificial intelligence to comprehend context, modify their tone, and reply intuitively, making them practically indistinguishable from real consumers.

3. No Spikes, No Warnings

Security systems usually detect attacks by spotting sudden increases in call volume. VCAD calls stay at normal levels, slipping past detection while still disrupting operations.

Instead of crashing systems, VCAD attacks drain time and resources by keeping agents occupied with convincing, time-consuming conversations.

Why is Voice Channel AI Disruption (VCAD) So Hard to Prevent?

In contrast to previous robocall attacks that used brief, repeated messages, VCAD bots are able to speak, reason, and adapt, making them nearly identical to human callers. Due to their constant evolution, VCAD assaults are extremely resilient to conventional security solutions.

Constantly Changing Tactics : Each attack is created differently every time. The bots change their voices, speaking styles, and phone numbers to avoid detection. They also learn from past failures, making security measures less effective.
AI Sounds Like a Real Person : These bots copy natural human speech, including pauses and tone changes, so they don’t sound robotic. Unlike old robocalls that used fixed scripts, these bots respond in a flexible way, helping them avoid spam filters.
Fake Caller IDs & Smart Adjustments: It is impossible to completely stop them since AI may produce phone numbers that look legitimate but are fake. The bots are also able to keep an eye on security systems and can adjust their approach in real time to review safeguards.

Voice Channel AI Disruption (VCAD) developing strategies make it a significantly more complicated and resilient threat than traditional call flooding attacks.

Future Trends and Evolving Threats

The use of lifelike voices by bots in AI-powered phone scams is making them more convincing, making it difficult to distinguish between human and automated calls. Deepfake technology allows scammers to mimic trusted people, tricking others into giving away personal information or money. Although there are improvements in detecting these scams, such as analyzing behavior and voice patterns or improving caller ID, scammers are likely to keep finding new ways to trick people.

To stay ahead of these evolving threats, detection methods and technology must be constantly improved. People and businesses can also protect themselves by learning about various scams and how they operate, which helps recognize the warning signs and reduces the chances of being targeted. Awareness and the use of modern prevention tools are key to fighting these fake attacks.

Citrus Freight Acquires 25,000 SME Exports on Its Platform Through Its AI-Enabled Price Discovery Model

ST Correspondent — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 18:51:47 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 13: In 2021, Biplob Barik and Ricky Goyal, two university friends with a shared passion for solving real-world challenges, founded Citrus Freight in Bangalore. What started as a response to inefficiencies in India’s agricultural export sector quickly became a game-changer for the industry. Their mission? To help Indian fresh produce reach global supermarkets by simplifying cold chain logistics.

The duo’s entrepreneurial journey began in 2016 with a digital freight forwarding venture, scaling it to a ₹6 crore business. When the pandemic disrupted the global supply chain, they pivoted to create Citrus Freight—a platform designed to address the unique challenges of exporting high-quality perishable goods. Today, Citrus Freight boasts a 25-member team and has empowered 25,000 exporters to access international markets.

Bridging the Gap for Indian Farmers

India is the largest producer of agricultural and perishable goods, yet it accounts for just 2% of the global export market. High spoilage rates, convoluted documentation processes, and fragmented logistics are significant barriers.

“Exporting fresh produce is unnecessarily complex,” says Biplob. “From price discovery to delivery, inefficiencies in the system hurt farmers and exporters.”

Citrus Freight set out to change this narrative. As India’s first reefer container shipping platform, the company focuses exclusively on export-quality produce—a niche often neglected by traditional logistics providers.

What Sets Citrus Freight Apart

Citrus Freight combines technology and innovation to make exporting perishables simpler, faster, and more reliable:

AI-Powered Price Discovery: Exporters can determine landed costs and secure bookings in seconds—a process that previously took 72 hours.

Reduced Spoilage Rates: Real-time temperature monitoring and rigorous quality checks have brought spoilage rates down to less than 5%, boosting exporters’ profits by up to 20%.

Smarter Vessel Scheduling: Using proprietary AI, Citrus Freight helps exporters identify vessels with optimal transit times and reliable performance, ensuring timely deliveries and minimal risks.

Driving Impact at Scale

With backing from investors like Caret Capital and Intercont Freight Liners, Citrus Freight has transformed cold chain logistics for 25,000 SMEs. By tackling inefficiencies, the platform has empowered Indian exporters to compete globally.

“We’ve built something as intuitive as planning a trip on MakeMyTrip,” Ricky explains. “It’s efficient, user-friendly, and tailored to the needs of agri-exporters.”

Changing the Landscape of Agri Exports

India’s farm produce is classified into three categories:

Export Quality: High-standard produce meeting international demands.
Supermarket Quality: Moderate quality for urban consumers.
Mandi Quality: Goods for local wholesale markets.

While logistics providers like Snowman and Celsius serve supermarket and mandi-level produce, Citrus Freight stands out with its dedication to export-quality goods. By simplifying logistics, the company reduces barriers and creates global growth opportunities for SMEs.

Looking Ahead

As Citrus Freight continues to grow, its mission remains steadfast: to simplify and scale cold chain logistics, ensuring Indian fresh produce reaches every corner of the world. With innovative solutions and unwavering commitment, the company is set to lead a transformative journey in agri-exports.

The Rise of VCAD: Voice Channel AI Disruption – A Silent Cyber Pandemic

ST Correspondent — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 15:52:21 +0530

New York City (New York) [USA], February 12 : The rapid development of AI systems uses deep learning together with natural language processing technologies to achieve human-like engagement during interactions. The conversion of AI calls into scams received easy identification at first yet better contextual analytics paired with voice adjustments now make them seem genuine. The advancements in AI technology have resulted in conversations that now duplicate human characteristics making it progressively difficult to distinguish them from real human communications.

The worldwide increase in cyber threats affects all sectors including businesses and governments and private citizens. Research indicates that 50% of UK businesses faced cyberattacks in 2023 and the average cost of data breaches for companies in 2024 reached $4.88 million per case. Ransomware attacks recorded nearly 236.1 million attacks worldwide during the first half of 2022 as their frequency and complexity level continued to rise. The cyber threat known as voice channel AI disruption or call bombing disrupts systems while remaining unnoticed by many organizations.

Contrary to legitimate communication practices, call bombing involves bombarding a customer support process with AI generated calls to disrupt normal functioning. These attacks create extensive daily operational disruptions and compromise security procedures while providing an opportunity for cyber criminals to perform advanced malicious activities. The perpetrators hide their caller identity through sophisticated spoofing tactics which makes tracking down the original source of the calls extremely difficult. The growing cybercrime threat underscores the critical need for advanced defense measures and the corresponding effect on the 53.35 million US citizens who fell victim to cyber attacks during the first half of 2022.

Why the Need for Awareness

The enormous total losses from cybercrime incidents prove the urgent necessity for organizations to be proactive. The total cybercrime loss for US citizens reached $6.9 billion during 2021. In 2023, 1 in 2 American internet users had their accounts compromised globally and about 1 billion emails were released worldwide. The data reveals the high degree of vulnerability which both people and companies face in the face of attacks like voice channel AI disruption (VCAD). These risks will expand in number because we do not pay attention to properly adopt safety measures so they can strike new victims across a broad spectrum.

What is the impact of Voice Channel AI Disruption (VCAD)?

These malicious phone attacks generate problems greater than basic harassment through nuisance calls:

At the start of the scheme attackers initiate a few calls to create lengthy and resource-intensive interactions instead of conducting a large-scale distributed denial of service.
The extended phone calls consume agent time which stops them from addressing valid customer questions thus creating service delays along with increased frustration among customers.
The persistent phone use extends operational expenses for organizations which requires them to distribute additional resources while paying workers overtime and increasing staffing levels to reduce interruptions.
Attackers use such strategic calling methods because they create interactions which closely resemble standard customer service calls that automated detection systems typically cannot identify or prevent.
Continuous phone disruptions require emergency or customer support executives to spend excessive time on unwanted calls which directly impacts their operational efficiency.

Regulatory Countermeasures Remain Futile

The increasing number of cyber threats has led governments together with regulatory bodies to strengthen their efforts for threat mitigation. FCC is planning to launch a government-wide effort to understand the nature and extent of this breach, what needs to happen to rid this exposure in our networks, and the steps required to ensure it never happens again. Similarly, TRAI in India established strict regulations in 2024 which reduced spam call complaints by 20% over two months. Various regulatory bodies worldwide have established requirements which expect telecom providers to adopt anti-spoofing security technologies along with caller authentication platforms. The implemented security measures reduce some voice channel AI disruption risks but cybercriminals persistently discover new methods to bypass these protections.

Regulatory advancements have not stopped the resilience of cybercriminals since they employ advanced tools to circumvent security systems. Multiple jurisdictional operations of voice channel AI disruption (VCAD) networks create difficulties in their successful prosecution. The development of deepfake audio technology together with existing scams make phone-based fraud increasingly difficult to detect thus requiring immediate business and individual investment in cybersecurity enhancement.

Future Threats

Modern cybercriminals continuously improve their tactics which results in growing sophistication of their attacks. The combination of automation systems with large-scale botnets as well as modern fraud methods will drive the widespread adoption of call bombing incidents. The digital threat landscape is becoming more aggressive because cybercrime costs have soared globally while malware attacks grew by 358% during 2020 alone. Healthcare facilities alongside finance institutions along with government institutions continue being primary targets because their data carries substantial sensitivity. Voice channel AI disruption (VCAD) will build a greater danger for organizations and individual users unless businesses show proactive global action and make active investments in cybersecurity defense measures.

The recent escalating number of cyberattacks together with digital fraud requires complete security systems to protect people immediately. Businesses and individuals need to stay alert because sophisticated cybercriminals are using voice channel AI disruption (VCAD) in an increasing manner. Public authorities together with telecom regulators need to enhance their anti-fraud standards at the same time organizations require comprehensive cybersecurity systems. Today’s growing cybercrime rates demand organizations to develop awareness together with their security preparedness while adopting proactive security measures to defend against modern digital attacks.

India has long been a diverse market for home decor, and religious themes are often popular among the consumer base. Founded by Ketul Patel, 7Decore noticed a gap in the market concerning home decor. Religious home decor usually included simple designs that did not add additional value to a wall space.

A growing number of users actively sought Islamic wall decor that was close to negligible in the Indian market.

Ketul Patel and his team expanded their range to include Islamic home decor that caters to this specific niche. This strategic move was implemented due to the increasing interest in faith-based home aesthetics. With quality craftsmanship and culturally inspired designs, 7Decore has incorporated thought into every design.

7Decore’s iconic collection has a number of unique designs, including beautifully crafted Arabic calligraphy, verses from the Quran, and modern minimalist designs that blend faith and design. Each piece is made keeping in mind the following objectives:

High-Quality Craftsmanship: Every piece is made with premium materials and intricate designs that are long-lasting
Diverse and Trendy Collections: A diverse range of designs that include modern minimalism and faith-inspired art
Customer-centric approach: A customer-centric online shopping experience with easy navigation and customer service
Affordable Luxury: Stylish, elegant decor at affordable prices
Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing: Eco-friendly practices and responsible material sourcing

Speaking on this new launch, a team representative said, “Religious decor has always been an integral part of Indian homes. While Hindu and other traditional decor styles have been widely available, we noticed a growing demand for Islamic wall art. Our goal is to create high-quality, elegant, and spiritually significant pieces that resonate with customers looking to incorporate faith into their home design”

This expansion highlights 7Decore’s broader mission to diversify its product range and cater to the evolving trends in the industry. As 7Decore continues to grow, one thing remains constant–their dedication to transforming walls with faith and style.

Happy Pet: India’s Largest Pet Tech Startup Is Transforming 25000 Cr Pet Industry

ST Correspondent — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 19:25:56 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 10 : Happy Pet – India’s biggest pet tech company is transforming the fast-growing pet industry by making it accessible to pet parents across India and the globe. Happy Pet is spearheading a digital transformation of the sector through cutting-edge technology solutions for pet businesses.

Headquartered in Bangalore, Happy Pet is dedicated to connecting and empowering the pet ecosystem. The company operates a comprehensive B2B and B2C platform – www.happypet.care – that provides pet parents with the right information and connects them with services for their dogs, cats, birds, and fish. Happy Pet differentiates itself by being available across Tier 1, 2, and 3 cities in India. Happy Pet envisions every pet having a loving family. The company aims to empower each pet parent with access to services and tools that make it an enriching experience for the pet and the parents.

Why Happy Pet?

Happy Pet was born from founder Anil Reddy’s previous experience as a design and tech entrepreneur and his lifelong love for animals. His journey with pets began as a child when he convinced his mother to foster four Indie dogs. “Nothing is better than being welcomed home by slobbering kisses and wagging tails,” says Anil.

Today, he is a proud pet parent of two dogs. However, when researching for the perfect dog to suit his lifestyle, home, and family, Anil realized that there wasn’t a single India-specific pet information portal. This sparked an idea—one that evolved into Happy Pet.

“My background in design & tech led me to the idea of connecting the entire pet ecosystem. Keeping technology, data, AI, and empathy for pet parents as cornerstones of Happy Pet, we’re building a world-class platform that seamlessly connects pet parents with services such as grooming, boarding, training, veterinary care, and more – right at their fingertips. At the same time, the platform empowers service providers with streamlining their businesses through www.happypet.tech,” he explains.

“Adding to that, Happy Pet has also come up with a pet parent app that helps keep all records – may it be food, walks, meds, or a monthly budget – in one place at the tap of a button. No scampering for prescriptions or records anymore,” he enthused.

Meet the Founder: Anil Reddy

A visionary design entrepreneur, Anil Reddy previously founded Lollypop Design Studio in 2013. Under his leadership, Lollypop became India’s largest design studio and a globally recognized brand before he successfully sold it in 2019.

“My journey as a designer and tech entrepreneur has spanned over 25 years. I have helped many Indian startups like Myntra, Upstox, Swiggy, and Paytm achieve Unicorn status while taking Lollypop to global heights over the last decade,” Anil shares.

He met his childhood friend and Pet Warehouse co-founder Manjunath Reddy at the latter’s farm outside Bangalore. A casual conversation, surrounded by happy, well-looked-after dogs, turned into a pitch that led to Anil joining Pet Warehouse as an investor and a mentor thus starting his journey into the pet industry.

Innovative Solutions for a Booming Pet Industry

“When we started in early 2024, our goal was to inform, educate, and assist pet lovers in navigating the booming pet industry within a year through www.happypet.care. We not only surpassed that milestone but also launched SaaS platforms with www.happypet.techto help service providers streamline their operations and expand their reach,” Anil proudly states.

Happy Pet has ambitious goals: to connect 32 million pet parents across India with the best available pet services. By pushing boundaries and setting new standards, the company aims to lead India’s pet industry towards worldwide recognition.

Committed to creating a seamless experience for pet parents and businesses alike, Happy Pet Tech is redefining the future of India’s pet care industry which is projected to reach $3 billion by 2025.

New Delhi [India], February 06: A heartwarming story is emerging from the small city of Patna, Bihar. Three friends are daring to dream big, armed with nothing but their passion, technology, and an unwavering belief in their vision. Their company, BookNow, is not just another ticketing platform—it’s a mission to solve the pain points that have plagued the industry for years.

The Birth of BookNow: A Dream Rooted in Struggle

The story of BookNow begins with its founder, Deepak Arya, a master’s graduate from IIT Patna. Deepak’s journey is one of resilience and determination. During his college days in 2017, he ran a website selling conference and event tickets. It was here that he first experienced the frustrations of clients and users—poor technology, inefficient demand-supply management, and a lack of innovation.

However, life had other plans. In 2019, Deepak had to sell his website due to financial struggles in his family. After graduating, he joined IT companies and MNCs, gaining valuable experience but never losing sight of his dream. In 2024, he decided to return to his roots in Patna, a city often overlooked due to its lack of infrastructure and support.

With the help of his college friends, Shubham and Navin, Deepak reignited his vision. Together, they embarked on a journey to create something extraordinary. Despite the odds, their dedication and hard work have brought them to the brink of launching BookNow, a platform that promises to redefine the ticketing experience.

What Makes BookNow Different?

BookNow isn’t just another app—it’s a solution-driven platform designed with the user in mind. The team has revealed some unique features that set it apart from the competition:

AI-Powered Pricing:
BookNow uses advanced AI technology to analyze booking trends and demand for movies and shows based on location. This means you’ll never have to overpay for a movie that’s underperforming in your area. The platform ensures you get the best price for the best experience.
Right Audience, Right Time, Right Price:
Imagine planning a family movie night, only to find that ticket prices are sky-high. With BookNow, you’ll receive timely notifications offering discounts for the same show. Why pay more when you can enjoy the same experience for less?
Pre-Book with Confidence:
Missed out on tickets for a blockbuster movie because the theater was houseful? BookNow introduces a game-changing feature: pay a minimal, refundable amount to pre-book your tickets. No matter how crowded the theater is, your seats are guaranteed.
Explore Your City:
Want to discover events and activities happening around you but don’t know where to start? BookNow’s location-based markers will guide you to the right place at the right time, ensuring you never miss out on the fun.

A Dream Worth Fighting For

For Deepak, Shubham, and Navin, BookNow is more than just a business—it’s a testament to their belief in innovation, inclusivity, and the power of dreams. While the giants of the industry focus on profits, these three friends are focused on solving real problems and creating a seamless experience for users.

As BookNow prepares to go live, the team is hopeful but grounded. They know the road ahead is challenging, but their story is a reminder that with passion, perseverance, and a little bit of heart, even the smallest players can make a big impact.

So, the next time you book a ticket, remember the story of BookNow—a dream born in the heart of Patna, fueled by the struggles of its founders, and built to make your life a little easier. Because sometimes, the best ideas don’t come from boardrooms; they come from the streets, the struggles, and the hearts of those who dare to dream.

Perfext Nutraceutical all set to Drive Growth: India’s Nutraceutical Market to Reach USD 18 Billion by 2025

ST Correspondent — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 13:14:44 +0530

New Delhi [India], February 3: India’s nutraceutical market is poised for extraordinary growth, expected to soar from its current valuation of USD 4-5 billion to USD 18 billion by 2025. Currently accounting for approximately 3.5% of the global market, India is making strides towards becoming a global leader in the sector. The robust growth, marked by an impressive annual growth rate of 13.6%, is largely driven by the rise of Ayurvedic players and a growing focus on preventive healthcare.

With the Indian nutraceutical market set to witness unprecedented growth, the opportunities for innovation and impact are vast. Companies like Perfext Nutraceuticals are setting benchmarks for the industry, combining tradition and technology to create solutions that empower individuals and strengthen the nation’s health framework.

As India steps into a new era of wellness, the nutraceutical sector’s potential to transform lives remains boundless. The pandemic underscored the importance of preventive healthcare, bringing nutraceuticals to the forefront as a key economic partner in improving public health. With India increasingly embracing wellness and fitness, the country’s nutraceutical industry is uniquely positioned to address health challenges while contributing significantly to the nation’s GDP.

“India’s nutraceutical market is undergoing a transformation, fueled by heightened health consciousness and a shift towards natural, science-backed solutions. The integration of Ayurveda into modern nutraceutical products has not only boosted consumer trust but also positioned India as a vital player in this evolving industry,” said Mr Gurpreet Singh Chawla, Co-Founder of Perfext Nutraceuticals.

According to recent studies, incorporating ingredients like polyphenols, plant protease inhibitors, and whey protein into daily diets can enhance immunity and offer protection against illnesses, including those as severe as corona virus. However, despite these advancements, India remains a net importer of nutraceuticals, with USD 2.7 billion worth of imports compared to USD 1.5 billion in exports. Industry analysts predict a shift, as the sector is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22% by 2023.

Urbanization and the increasing adoption of healthier lifestyles have created a fertile ground for growth in the nutraceutical sector. Industry players are innovating to meet consumer demand by focusing on quality, transparency, and affordability.

Perfext Nutraceuticals, a pioneering name in the industry, has been at the forefront of these developments. “At Perfext, our mission is to bridge the gap between science and nature, offering holistic solutions that empower individuals to take charge of their health,” said the Co-Founder Mr Gaurav Khanna, “By combining the wisdom of Ayurveda with cutting-edge research, we aim to redefine modern wellness and make it accessible to all.”

Perfext Nutraceuticals has been instrumental in shaping the industry’s future through its innovative product portfolio. Recent launches include Perfext Life multivitamins, Ayurvedic ortho pain relief oil, and a cough syrup combo pack, all of which emphasize the power of Ayurveda in addressing diverse health concerns. These products supplement Perfext’s existing line of Ayurvedic multivitamins and multiminerals, designed to boost immunity and enhance overall strength for both men and women.

“Innovation and quality are the cornerstones of our approach. Our commitment to sustainability ensures that every product we create not only supports individual health but also aligns with environmental stewardship. Innovation, quality, sustainability, and empowerment embody the core values Perfext Nutraceuticals and these resonate with today’s consumers perfectly,” Co- Founder Dr Sunil Mittal added.

As the industry moves forward, the role of Ayurvedic players in driving growth cannot be overstated. “The fusion of ancient wisdom with modern science is not just a trend but a necessity. At Perfext, we see ourselves not just as manufacturers but as partners in our customers’ wellness journeys,” concluded Co- Founder Dr Sunil Mittal.

Bridging the Mentorship Gap: Lessons for a Global Startup Ecosystem By Prakhar Mittal

ST Correspondent — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 12:58:15 +0530

New Delhi [India] : In a career spanning over 15 years in digital transformation across global industries, I’ve witnessed the undeniable power of mentorship in driving innovation, entrepreneurship, and business growth. This has been particularly evident while observing India’s meteoric rise as the world’s third-largest startup hub, home to over 140,803 startups as of 30 June 2024, growing annually at 16-18%. However, amid this progress, a glaring gap persists—structured mentorship to guide budding entrepreneurs through the complexities of scaling and sustaining businesses.

Contrasting this with the U.S. ecosystem, which thrives on robust frameworks like SCORE—a pioneering organization mentoring small businesses since 1964—the difference is stark. SCORE, a resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), has been pivotal in shaping small businesses through its mentorship programs, workshops, and access to comprehensive resources. Intrigued by their mission, I joined the SCORE-greater Cincinnati chapter, as a certified mentor, aiming to contribute to this vibrant ecosystem, through a rigorous training and interview process.

The SCORE Experience: Rethinking Entrepreneurship

Engaging with SCORE has been an eye-opening journey. One of the most surprising revelations is the demographic shift among entrepreneurs. Approximately 80% of the founders I’ve mentored are over the age of 50, reflecting a growing trend of seasoned professionals leveraging their expertise to pursue entrepreneurial ambitions. This challenges the traditional narrative that startups are a young person’s game and underscores the inclusivity of the modern entrepreneurial landscape.

Why SCORE Works: A Blueprint for Startup Support

SCORE’s approach to empowering entrepreneurs is multidimensional, addressing every stage of business growth:

Personalized Mentorship: Tailored guidance from experienced professionals to address unique business challenges.

Workshops & Webinars: Covering diverse topics such as digital marketing, financial planning, and operational strategies.

Resource Libraries: Offering templates, tools, and step-by-step guides to streamline business operations.

This ecosystem, bolstered by SBA initiatives like loan programs, contracting assistance, and disaster relief, creates a supportive infrastructure for startups to innovate, scale, and sustain operations.

Reflections from IIMA: A Foundation for Strategic Mentorship

My formative years at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) provided a strong foundation for critical thinking and strategic problem-solving. These skills have been instrumental in my mentorship journey, allowing me to navigate entrepreneurs through complex challenges by blending theoretical insights with practical solutions.

India’s Startup Potential: The Path Forward

India’s startup ecosystem is brimming with potential. Government initiatives like Startup India have laid the groundwork, providing funding and policy support to foster entrepreneurship. However, the absence of structured mentorship programs like SCORE remains a significant roadblock. Establishing similar frameworks in India could enable experienced professionals to guide startups, ensuring innovation isn’t stifled by operational hurdles.

A Call to Action: Building a Culture of Mentorship

Mentorship is not only a catalyst for entrepreneurial success but alsol a cornerstone for long-term innovation and economic growth. My journey with SCORE has deepened my appreciation for the transformative power of guidance, not just for entrepreneurs but also for mentors who gain valuable insights from diverse perspectives.

As India continues to solidify its position as a global startup leader, integrating structured mentorship frameworks into the ecosystem will be crucial. By doing so, we can unlock new avenues of innovation, drive economic growth, and create a collaborative environment where startups thrive—not just survive.

Haryana CM Meets Gurgaon’s Viral Hair Care Mom, Asks Her the Secret Behind 'Daadi Ka Magic'

ST Correspondent — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 15:24:11 +0530

Summary:

Event Date: January 4th, 2025, hosted by CM Shri Nayab Singh Saini.
Focus: Personal engagement with small business entrepreneurs, mentorship, and government support for startups.
Mentorship Proposal: Discussion about creating mentorship programs with established entrepreneurs guiding younger startups.
Government Support: Enhanced schemes for funding, infrastructure, and market access for startups.
Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret: Founded in 2023 and generating crores in annual revenue, selling their hair fall control oil.
Customer Base: Over 1.5 lakhs customers across India in 1.5 years
Global Expansion: Expanding into Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

New Delhi [India], January 30: In a major step to bolster Haryana’s growing startup ecosystem, Chief Minister Shri Nayab Singh Saini hosted an interactive dialogue at his residence, bringing together a dynamic group of small business entrepreneurs. The event, which lasted for over two hours, focused on innovation, mentorship, and collaboration to create a thriving environment for startups in the state.

The conversation began with the Chief Minister proactively and personally interacting with the entrepreneurs in attendance. Shri Saini made it a point to get to know each person, paying close attention to their distinctive tales and the difficulties they had when starting their companies. The CM asked the attendees to share their personal stories, and the beginnings of their journeys.

Nidhi Tuteja-Dua, the founder of Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret, was one of the entrepreneurs who proactively shared her journey. “It’s truly inspiring to have a government leader take such a personal interest in what we do. Shri Saini’s focus showed us that the government isn’t just about policies—it’s about understanding the reality of being an entrepreneur and facing daily challenges,” Nidhi said. She emphasized that this kind of engagement sets Haryana apart from other states.

She further went on to say that, “In March 2023, I started Nidhi’s Grandmaa’s Secret with my mother-in-law’s help. At first, we made tiny amounts of herbal hair oil and sold it to our apartment complex’s neighbour’s and acquaintances. Word of mouth immediately travelled, and the response was overwhelmingly positive with results of best hair growth from the oil.” Nidhi chuckles, remembering the early days of the company. “I remember our doorbell wouldn’t stop ringing,” she says.

Nidhi’s aspiration increased in tandem with the demand. She asked her husband, Rajat Dua who’s also a digital marketing expert, for assistance in growing Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret, and help countless individuals with the hair growth oil. The establishment of their Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) platform, which enabled them to reach a far wider audience, was made possible in large part by Rajat’s experience in creating internet businesses. They received more than 100 orders in a single day when one Instagram reel went viral.

The topic swiftly shifted from the entrepreneurs’ personal tales to a more serious one regarding how the government could effectively assist young business owners. In order to nurture the next generation of business leaders, the CM emphasized the value of guidance. He suggested that the government should establish formal mentorship programs so that more experienced business owners might advise younger, more fledgling companies.

Nidhi, who has successfully navigated the ups and downs of entrepreneurship herself, was particularly enthusiastic about the idea of mentorship. “Having someone who has been through the grind and understands the nuances of running a business is invaluable,” Nidhi stated. “I think the mentorship program will be a game-changer for many entrepreneurs, especially those just starting. It will make the journey less daunting, and help startups avoid the mistakes that often derail businesses.”

The goal of the mentorship program is to pair together seasoned business owners with up-and-coming companies, providing them with guidance on everything from funding to business strategy, and from overcoming legal obstacles to expanding operations. In addition to lowering the learning curve for aspiring business owners, the initiative would encourage industry-wide cooperation and knowledge exchange.

As the conversation went on, the emphasis switched to how the government of Haryana could assist companies more actively outside of mentorship. Important concerns were brought up by entrepreneurs regarding the need for measures to assist them reach a wider audience, more favourable infrastructure, and improved access to capital. The CM reassured the guests that the government was already aware of these problems and that it would endeavour to enhance current programs and implement new ones that would hasten the development of startups.

Also present at this meetup were founders from some of the popular shark tank brands like P-Tal, Beastlife and Pizza Galleria.

The entrepreneurs were particularly pleased with the CM’s openness to their feedback and the government’s willingness to refine policies based on real-world input. Nidhi expressed optimism about the government’s commitment to making these changes a reality: “The fact that the government is actively seeking feedback and is genuinely committed to helping us grow is inspiring. I believe this partnership between entrepreneurs and the government will create a strong ecosystem that can foster innovation and business success.”

With entrepreneurs like Nidhi leading the charge and the government backing them every step of the way, Haryana is poised to become a leading hub for startups in India.

Don’t Just Read About Success-Make It Big

ST Correspondent — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 16:36:18 +0530

New Delhi [India], January 27 : As the world races forward with rapid technological advancements, shifting market dynamics, and an ever-growing need for resilience, the principles of business success are evolving faster than ever. In this landscape, Making It Big emerges as a timeless guide, offering entrepreneurs advice and a proven framework for building, scaling, and thriving in uncertain times.

Authored by Binod Chaudhary, a visionary who rose from humble beginnings to the global stage, this book is more than a memoir—it’s a masterclass in ambition, grit, and the art of making dreams a reality. For entrepreneurs in 2025, here’s why Making It Big is not just a book but a must-have blueprint for success.

An Ambitious Vision: Thinking Beyond Limits

One of the most compelling lessons in the book is the power of high ambition. At a time when most businesses in his native Nepal were content with local successes, Binod Chaudhary set his sights on the global stage. The launch of Wai Wai noodles is a prime example—a product that started in a small market but grew into an international brand loved in 50+ countries.

For entrepreneurs in 2025, this serves as a reminder that thinking big isn’t just an option; it’s a necessity. The global marketplace offers endless opportunities for those who dare to innovate and aim higher than the competition.

Resilience in the Face of Challenges

Entrepreneurship is rarely smooth sailing, and Making It Big doesn’t shy away from sharing the hard truths. With competitors trying to undercut operations, the company stood its ground, pivoting to new partnerships and markets to survive—and eventually thrive.

This lesson is especially critical in today’s uncertain world, where entrepreneurs must navigate economic turbulence, geopolitical conflicts, and market disruptions. It’s not about avoiding challenges but finding ways to rise above them.

The Art of Building Organizations

Making It Big emphasizes the importance of building scalable systems and empowering teams. The decision to move away from traditional family-run practices and hire a team of professionals—from chartered accountants to industry experts—transformed a modest business into a multinational conglomerate.

This approach resonates strongly in 2025, where startups and businesses thrive on agile teams, robust systems, and diverse expertise. Entrepreneurs are reminded that sustainable growth isn’t about doing everything yourself but building organizations that outlast individual efforts.

The Balancing Act: Ambition Meets Prudence

The book challenges the notion that positivity alone drives success. Instead, it advocates a balanced approach: optimism tempered with realism. Businesses can navigate uncertainty without losing momentum by focusing on potential risks and preparing for contingencies. This lesson is especially relevant in a year when market volatility and unforeseen disruptions are almost guaranteed.

A Call to Action for 2025 Entrepreneurs

Making It Big isn’t just a recounting of personal achievements—it’s a call to action for anyone who dreams of leaving a lasting impact. It inspires readers to embrace bold ambitions, stay resilient through adversity, and approach the future with courage and caution.

As entrepreneurs in 2025 face the challenges of a fast-paced, interconnected world, the lessons in this book are more relevant than ever. It’s not just about building businesses; it’s about building legacies that inspire generations.

Read It. Learn It. Live It.

For anyone striving to make their mark in 2025, Making It Big is more than a book—it’s a roadmap. Packed with real-world examples, actionable insights, and a powerful message of hope, it’s a must-read for every entrepreneur ready to dream big and deliver bigger.

West Africa’s Rice Conundrum by Vivek Gahlaut, Co-Founder – Terra Firma Commodities, Dubai UAE

ST Correspondent — Sat, 18 Jan 2025 15:24:07 +0530

Dubai [UAE], January 18: In West Africa, rice has been a staple food for generations, typically served with curries made from meat, vegetables, or seafood. While the ingredients used with the curries may not seem surprising, the reliance on rice is notable for a different reason.

Many of you would be wondering why it is concerned, so the major reason to be concerned is that nearly 40% of the imported rice consumed in the region, primarily from countries like India, Thailand, Vietnam, and Pakistan, all of which produce surplus rice. This raises an intriguing question: why does a region like West Africa, which has abundant arable land and freshwater sources, continue to depend heavily on imported rice?

The potential for agricultural self-sufficiency in West African nations is evident, notwithstanding their historical struggles with poverty in comparison to their Southern and Eastern African neighbors. Actually, they have more than enough water and arable land to grow all the rice their country needs. Then why is this staple food imported to such a large extent?

One convincing explanation is economic efficiency. When global markets provide a surplus of rice, it might seem more practical for West African nations to import rice while using their agricultural land to grow higher-value cash crops. This strategy could generate much-needed foreign exchange and boost local economies. In fact, this has been the logic driving the import of rice for decades. It’s a business that creates jobs on both ends of the supply chain, ensures affordable nutrition for the local population, and supports a steady flow of rice from exporters to eager importers in the ECOWAS region. As a result, West Africa has become the largest importer of rice globally, accounting for 20% of the world’s rice trade.

Since 2014, Terra Firma Commodities (Co-Founder of Vivek Gahlaut) has been a key player in this trade, especially in markets such as Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Ghana. The top wholesalers in the area recognise and trust our local rice brands. Before a big disturbance, the system had been running well for years.

India is the world’s leading exporter of rice, and in September 2023, India outlawed the sale of all varieties of white rice other than basmati and as a result of this one event alone, broken white rice to spike by $100-150 per metric ton almost overnight, rising from around $400 to $600-650 per metric ton. The broken white rice price index jumped from $400 to $600–650/metric tonne in the span of a single trading day, as a result of this one event alone.

This sudden increase made imported rice significantly more expensive than locally grown varieties, and it was unclear whether other rice-producing nations could fill the supply gap left by India’s decision. India’s ban, driven by its own internal concerns, has had a profound effect on the global rice market, and West Africa, as one of the largest importers, has been hit hard.

As a participant in this business, Terra Firma Commodities (Co-Founder of Vivek Gahlaut) has enjoyed reaping the benefits of this trade, with good incentives for owners and company employees alike. However, the current situation is unsustainable. The rice trade, as we knew it, has been disrupted which clarifies that we can no longer rely on the same model. Our company has decided to invest in the local agricultural ecosystem beyond superficial, transactional interactions in order to engage with the community more thoroughly.

In response to the prohibition, Terra Firma has initiated discussions with West African governments and local cooperatives to support domestic rice production. We’re doing our best to equip farmers with cutting-edge tools, milling equipment, and knowledge about how to grow rice in the most efficient way possible. It may take many years for the region to become self-sufficient, BUT we are taking a step in the right direction!

Our main objective is to find a way out of this dilemma and work towards lasting solutions that will help the people of West Africa and the international rice market. We hope that by collaborating and innovating, West Africa will lessen its reliance on imported rice and establish a more resilient agriculture economy.

The chapter on “The Mantras” is a treasure trove of insights, offering practical wisdom for building businesses, overcoming obstacles, and leaving a lasting legacy.

Starting Unprepared but Rising Strong

The journey of stepping into leadership without formal preparation is a testament to resilience and the willingness to grow.

Mantra 6: Patience in Negotiations

Patience and strategy are essential when building partnerships or finalizing deals. The lessons highlight the importance of creating mutually beneficial outcomes rather than rushing decisions. This approach remains highly relevant for modern entrepreneurs seeking sustainable growth.

bob: Revolutionizing Mobility Aggregation in India

ST Correspondent — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 20:40:35 +0530

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], January 02: Aiming to transform the way Indian users navigate their everyday travel needs, bob (Bridging Omnichannel Benefits) is set to officially launch in the coming days, promising a groundbreaking solution to common ride-hailing woes. Led by dynamic entrepreneurs Jai Adithya Poorana and Ansh Arora, this startup is set to disrupt the Indian cab market with its innovative, user-centric platform.

Introducing bob: A One-Stop Solution for Hassle-Free Travel

Finding a cab or auto ride in India has long been fraught with challenges—surge pricing, long wait times, and the inconvenience of switching between multiple apps. ‘bob’ eliminates these frustrations by serving as an “aggregator of aggregators”, integrating popular platforms like Uber, Ola, Namma Yatri, Rapido, and more under one unified interface.

bob’s proprietary technology allows users to effortlessly compare rides based on cost, speed, and wait time, empowering them to book the cheapest or fastest ride directly through the platform. With over 10 aggregators onboard and plans to expand further, bob is India’s first ONDC-led mobility aggregator platform.

A Founding Story Rooted in Experience

‘bob’ is the brainchild of Jai Adithya Poorana, a visionary entrepreneur with a proven track record. Before embarking on his journey with ‘bob,’ Jai successfully scaled his previous company to a valuation of ₹41 crore. The idea for ‘bob’ was born from Jai’s personal struggle as a student at Christ University, where he juggled multiple ride-hailing apps while commuting 25 kilometers daily. Limited phone storage and the absence of a unified platform to streamline ride booking inspired him to create a solution—not just for himself but for millions facing similar challenges.

To turn this vision into reality, Jai joined forces with Ansh Arora, a tech-savvy college mate and AWS-certified cloud practitioner. Together, they developed a platform that not only simplifies ride booking but also democratizes the Indian cab market by boosting visibility for local cab operators.

As Founder & CEO, Jai applies the entrepreneurial expertise and strategic vision he gained from his previous successes to ‘bob.’ Ansh, as Co-Founder & CTO, complements this with his passion for building scalable infrastructure and cloud technologies. Their combined leadership is propelling ‘bob’ towards its mission of making everyday mobility simpler, smarter, and more affordable for Indian users.

Recognized Excellence and Rapid Growth

bob has already garnered recognition as one of the top 12 student-led startups in India by AWS and Campus Fund. After a successful beta test with 80+ users, bob has saved riders up to 25% on their bookings and secured a $250,000 technical grant to further develop its platform.

With over 1,000 users on its waitlist even before its official launch, bob is poised for exponential growth. The startup is actively seeking to raise an additional $650,000 to expand its services.

Why bob Stands Out

First of Its Kind: India’s first ONDC-led mobility aggregator, bringing together top platforms to offer unmatched convenience.
User-Centric Technology: Save both time and money by choosing the cheapest or fastest ride, without hopping between multiple apps.
Seamless Experience: Book rides directly on bob’s platform, reducing app clutter and streamlining daily commutes.

Beyond Mobility

While bob’s initial focus is on ride aggregation, its vision extends far beyond the mobility sector. The company plans to venture into quick commerce, e-commerce, food delivery, and more, creating an all-encompassing aggregation platform for Indian consumers.

Empowering Local Businesses

In addition to improving consumer experiences, bob is committed to supporting small cab aggregators, helping them thrive in a market dominated by giants. By democratizing access to the ride-hailing ecosystem, bob aims to create a more equitable marketplace for both consumers and operators.

What’s Next for bob

bob’s official launch is just around the corner. With a mission to transform everyday travel and plans for rapid expansion, the platform is set to redefine convenience and transparency in the Indian ride-hailing landscape.

About the Founders

Jai Adithya Poorana, Founder & CEO, is a visionary entrepreneur who previously scaled a company to a valuation of ₹41 crore.
Ansh Arora, Co-Founder & CTO, is a tech expert and AWS-certified cloud practitioner with a passion for building scalable infrastructure. Together, they are leading bob’s mission to make everyday mobility simpler, smarter, and more affordable for Indian users.

The company is making waves with its innovation in the real estate arena and is widely known for its short construction timelines, quality and efficiency. With prestigious tenants, like CGSL, TekFriday, Vivifi, CWT, ATC India, iKeva, Little Red Zombies and Stefanini Group, the company has rightfully established itself as one of the leading forces in Hyderabad’s real estate market.

Our range of products and services are known for their unmatched service quality and our motto of building it right the first time has helped us create an environment conducive for our growth. We work by the values of quality, integrity and reliability and this is what has helped us deliver the best to our valued customers.”

Sanali Group’s strategic approach to real estate construction in Hyderabad is further strengthened by its business framework of “Buy, Design, Build and Lease/Sell.” This business framework is further supported by constant customer care and complete control on the development process ensuring each property is of impressive quality.

During the Buy phase, the company actively purchases land in the best locations considering factors, like scenic views, infrastructure availability, investment appreciation and proximity to amenities. The Design phase is all about securing development rights and creating designs that represent the company’s luxury brand. During the Build phase, Sanali Group indulges in high quality construction by its highly qualified team internal architects, design professionals and engineers.

The capability to improve project timelines and provide the best to customers has made Sanali group’s residential and commercial projects the most sought-after solutions in the industry. Its huge clientele reflects the company’s position as an industry innovator and a driver of positive change in India real estate sector.

ST Correspondent — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 15:24:11 +0530

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], December 19: In the heart of Hyderabad, a city that has earned its reputation as a thriving hub for technology and innovation, a fintech startup is quietly but rapidly transforming the way entrepreneurs handle business finance and compliance. OnEasy.AI, founded by the visionary Chartered Accountant Abhishek Boddu, is not just another startup; it’s a game-changer for startups, small businesses, and entrepreneurs across India and beyond.

Abhishek Boddu, who spent years working with top firms like Deloitte India and BAST & Associates, understood the significant challenges that entrepreneurs face in managing their finances and meeting regulatory compliance. After years of witnessing these struggles firsthand, he set out to create a solution that would simplify business finance and allow entrepreneurs to focus on growth and innovation. The result? OnEasy.AI, a powerful, tech-driven platform that has quickly become a trusted partner for businesses navigating the complexities of financial management.

The Birth of OnEasy.AI

OnEasy.AI was founded on the belief that technology and expertise should work hand in hand to simplify the often-overwhelming aspects of running a business. The platform’s core mission is to provide entrepreneurs with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to efficiently manage their finances, from incorporation to ongoing compliance and strategic financial planning.

Abhishek’s vision was simple yet powerful: to make business finance easy, accessible, and efficient, allowing business owners to devote more time to scaling their operations and less time on administrative tasks. OnEasy.AI has since become a trailblazer in the fintech space, offering a full suite of services that includes business registrations, GST filings, Income Tax Returns (ITR), CFO services, payroll management, and more. The platform’s cutting-edge technology automates many of these processes, reducing human error and ensuring accuracy, which is crucial for startups and small businesses that operate on tight budgets.

Transforming the Way Businesses Operate

What sets OnEasy.AI apart from traditional financial service providers is its holistic approach.

“We’re not just a service provider; we’re a partner to our clients,” says Abhishek Boddu. “Our goal is to simplify the complex aspects of business finance so that entrepreneurs can focus on building and scaling their businesses without worrying about compliance or financial management.”

A Platform for the Modern Entrepreneur

The startup ecosystem in India is growing at an exponential rate, and the need for solutions that simplify business operations has never been more urgent.

“We are democratizing financial services,” says Abhishek. “We want every entrepreneur, no matter how small or large, to have access to the same level of financial expertise and technology that large corporations use.”

Expanding Beyond India

Although OnEasy.AI started as a Hyderabad-based startup, its vision has always been global. The platform is already helping businesses expand internationally, with a strong presence in markets like the USA, Singapore, and Dubai. OnEasy.AI’s ability to provide seamless business solutions across borders is helping entrepreneurs manage operations in diverse regulatory environments, while also offering tailored financial strategies for companies looking to grow internationally.

This expansion is part of Abhishek’s larger vision to position OnEasy.AI as a leading global player in the business finance and compliance space. The company’s ability to cater to a wide range of industries, including tech, healthcare, hospitality, and more, makes it a versatile and trusted partner for businesses worldwide.

Through workshops, training sessions, and personalized support, he is helping business owners understand the importance of sound financial management and empowering them to make better financial decisions.

Since its inception, OnEasy.AI has helped over 1,500 businesses globally, and the numbers continue to grow. Entrepreneurs who have worked with the platform praise its user-friendly approach, the quality of its personalized services, and the efficiency of its tech-driven solutions.

“OnEasy.AI has been a game-changer for our business,” says one client. “We no longer have to worry about the complexities of compliance or tax filings.

Tapan Acharya: The Diamond In The Crown Of Indian Roll Ball

ST Correspondent — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 13:49:07 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 19: In the world of sports, stories of passion and dedication often emerge that inspire generations to come. Such is the story of Mr. Tapan Acharya, the recently re-elected President of the Roll Ball Federation of India, whose extraordinary commitment and vision have brought a fresh sparkle to the world of Roll Ball.

Milind Kshirsagar’s heartfelt Facebook post aptly sums up the remarkable journey of this dynamic leader, who was first captured on camera during the National Games in Goa in October-November last year. “His way of working and his visionary approach were unlike anything I had seen before,” wrote Kshirsagar, recounting how Tapan’s meticulous planning and execution during the event revealed his potential to lead a new generation towards bigger dreams.

The Struggles of a Legacy

Roll Ball, a sport born out of the determination of its founder, Mr. Raju Dabhade, has faced its fair share of struggles. Over 25 years, Dabhade’s relentless efforts ensured the game’s survival and growth, culminating in six World Cups and its adoption in 61 countries. The torch of this legacy now passes to Tapan Acharya, a leader with a diamond-like clarity of vision and the ability to act decisively under pressure.

A Visionary at Work

Kshirsagar vividly recalls witnessing Tapan’s leadership during the National Championships in Pune. “Destiny brought us together on stage, and I got a closer look at his leadership qualities. Though initially appointed as an Interim President for a year, his exceptional work earned him unanimous re-election for a full four-year term in October 2024,” he noted.

Tapan Acharya, a prominent businessman, filmmaker and influential figure in Goa’s political circles, combines his professional acumen with a passion for sports development. His proactive engagement in initiatives like the Roll Ball League in Mumbai has left a lasting impression on his peers.

A President Like No Other

The narrative reaches its peak with an incident during preparations for the fourth Asia Cup in Goa, set to take place from December 16 to 19. Teams from across the globe began arriving, and Tapan personally ensured every detail of their arrival was handled flawlessly.

Recounting the events, Kshirsagar shares, “When the Philippine team arrived in batches late at night, there was chaos. One player landed hours earlier, others arrived around midnight, and confusion reigned. Despite delegating the task to me and providing his own car for the job, Tapan personally intervened when things got complicated.”

In an extraordinary act of leadership, Tapan drove across Goa in the dead of night, ensuring each player was located and safely transported to their hotel. “By the time the players settled into their rooms at Ocean View Hotel, it was past 4 AM, but Tapan was still in touch, coordinating every step,” Kshirsagar marveled.

Beyond Expectations

“Will the president of a sports organization behave like this?” Kshirsagar asks rhetorically, marveling at Tapan’s hands-on approach. His actions reflect not only a deep sense of responsibility but also an unmatched dedication to the sport and its players.

A New Era for Roll Ball

Under Tapan Acharya’s presidency, Roll Ball is poised for a renaissance. His leadership signifies the dawn of a new era, where the sport not only thrives but also inspires countless young athletes to dream big. As Milind Kshirsagar aptly puts it, “Raju’s legacy has truly found a diamond to carry it forward.”

From sleepless nights ensuring logistical perfection to long-term plans for the game’s growth, Tapan Acharya exemplifies what it means to lead by example. With such passionate stewardship, the future of Roll Ball shines brighter than ever.

21-Year-Old Chennai Innovator Disrupts India’s AI Landscape with StudAI Genie

ST Correspondent — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 16:27:05 +0530

New Delhi [India], December 12 : At just 21 years old, Paul Jeevanesan, a mechanical engineering graduate from Chennai, is transforming the way India interacts with artificial intelligence. His startup, StudAI Edutech, has launched StudAI Genie—an all-in-one AI platform designed to boost productivity and simplify life. With over 350+ tools, the platform provides customised AI solutions tailored to meet users’ unique needs, empowering individuals in all aspects of their daily and professional lives. Importantly, it is accessible to millions of Indians, including those in the most remote areas.

In just 100 days, StudAI Genie has attracted over 1,100 active users—all without spending a single rupee on advertising or paid promotions. The platform’s user-first design and word-of-mouth referrals have fueled its rapid rise, making it one of the most promising tech innovations in India.

Revolutionizing AI Access: A Phone Call Away

Imagine accessing professional services—whether it’s legal advice, medical consultations, loan planning, parenting coaching, nutrition advice, or even astrology consultations—just by picking up a phone. That’s what StudAI Genie offers.

Using AI-powered voice assistants, the platform connects users to specialised consultants on a wide range of topics. From lawyers to doctors, mechanics, nutritionists, and even loan planners, StudAI Genie is designed to offer personalised, affordable consultations—no Internet required.

“We’re not just building another AI platform,” says Jeevanesan. “We’re creating a reliable, accessible ecosystem where AI can solve real-world problems for everyone.”

The response has been overwhelming. In just 10 days after launching its first workshop, the platform attracted 5,017 registrations—a testament to the demand for AI-powered services that go beyond the tech-savvy crowd.

Empowering Rural India: AI for the Masses

One of the standout features of StudAI Genie is its focus on rural India. Paul Jeevanesan is determined to ensure that AI is not just an urban privilege. His goal is to empower rural populations with affordable access to professional services they typically lack, using voice-driven AI and prepaid service cards.

These prepaid cards—available in local shops, malls, and even village kiosks—allow users to access AI consultations for as low as ₹20. Whether it’s seeking advice from a doctor, lawyer, or nutritionist, StudAI Genie makes professional services accessible to all at a fraction of the cost of traditional platforms. The platform also offers a monthly subscription starting at ₹250 for more regular use.

Despite challenges like digital literacy and network connectivity in remote areas, Jeevanesan is confident. “With StudAI Genie’s simple voice interface, we’re making AI something anyone can use, no matter their device or internet access,” he says.

This mission reflects the vision of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India, who believed that technology should uplift the common man, especially in rural India. StudAI Genie is embodying Dr Kalam’s vision by making AI available to all, especially in India’s underserved communities.

Powered by Student Innovation: A New Generation of Problem Solvers

What truly sets StudAI Genie apart is its foundation in student-driven innovation. Developed by students from various colleges in Tamil Nadu, the platform highlights young Indian talent tackling real-world challenges.

By empowering students to develop cutting-edge AI tools, Paul Jeevanesan is nurturing the next generation of innovators. Thanks to strategic partnerships with tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Cloudflare, the platform has the tech infrastructure needed to scale effectively.

“The future of AI isn’t just about building tech,” says Jeevanesan. “It’s about creating tools that empower people.”

Addressing Challenges: AI Accuracy and Market Competition

While StudAI Genie shows immense promise, it faces several challenges. Ensuring AI accuracy—especially in specialised sectors like healthcare and law—is crucial. Maintaining high-quality, reliable AI outputs are key to building user trust.

Moreover, StudAI Genie competes with giants like JustDial and IndiaMART, which connect users to service providers. However, StudAI Genie’s hybrid AI-human model offers a distinct advantage: it combines AI-driven assistance with human expertise to provide more accurate, personalised consultations. This hybrid approach ensures fast, reliable responses without the delays of traditional platforms.

Scalability is another concern. As StudAI Genie expands nationwide, ensuring the platform’s infrastructure can handle increased user loads while maintaining service quality will be crucial. Investment in technology and human resources will be necessary to support this growth.

A Brand Built on Trust: The Power of Organic Growth

One of the most remarkable aspects of StudAI Genie’s growth is that it has been entirely organic—driven by user trust and recommendations. The platform has not spent any money on advertisements, proving the demand for simple, effective AI solutions.

“In just a few months, we’ve seen thousands of people signing up and using the platform,” says Jeevanesan. “This shows there’s a real need for AI-powered services that are easy to access, affordable, and relevant.”

What makes StudAI Genie so compelling is its human-centred approach. Whether it’s helping a farmer find a mechanic or a mother seeking advice from a doctor, StudAI Genie offers practical solutions to everyday problems, proving that AI can improve lives.

Looking Ahead: A Vision for India’s Digital Future

StudAI Genie is just getting started. The platform plans to expand nationwide, starting with Tamil Nadu and later scaling to other regions.

By providing AI-powered consultations, StudAI Genie has the potential to transform how Indians access essential services, from healthcare to education and business. However, scaling the platform will require overcoming challenges like AI accuracy in specialised sectors.

Still, with its unique blend of AI and human expertise, StudAI Genie is positioned to disrupt India’s digital ecosystem. Whether providing immediate solutions or empowering rural communities, StudAI Genie is set to play a major role in shaping India’s digital future.

Disrupting the Market: A Model for the Future

As StudAI Genie grows, it’s poised to disrupt traditional service models like JustDial and IndiaMART, which rely on human intermediaries to connect users with service providers. By integrating AI-powered consultations, StudAI Genie offers a direct, cost-effective alternative, cutting out the need for middlemen. The platform’s hybrid AI-human model provides an efficient service that sets it apart from competitors.

“StudAI Genie isn’t just about delivering AI-driven services; it’s about changing how people access essential services—making AI practical, effective, and accessible to everyone,” says Paul Jeevanesan.

A Young Visionary Leading the Charge

For a young entrepreneur who started this journey before turning 21, Paul Jeevanesan’s vision is about more than just business. It’s about creating a paradigm shift in how India—and the world—interact with technology. As StudAI Genie evolves, Jeevanesan proves that with the right combination of innovation, accessibility, and social purpose, AI can be a tool that transforms lives.

With its unmatched potential to reach the masses and solve real-world problems, StudAI Genie is poised to become a pivotal force in India’s digital revolution.

ST Correspondent — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 17:49:49 +0530

Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium) [Europe], December 2 : Odoo S.A., a leading provider of integrated business software, today announced a $526 million transaction led by CapitalG and Sequoia Capital, with participation from BlackRock, Mubadala Investment Company, HarbourVest Partners, AVP, and Alkeon. This secondary capital transaction reflects strong confidence in the company’s vision and impact. As part of the transaction, existing investors Summit Partners, Noshaq, and Wallonie Entreprendre are selling a portion of their shares; Summit will remain Odoo’s largest institutional shareholder.

Odoo’s goal is to reach 1,052,190,000,28$ in billings by 2027
Projected billings in the next 12 months = 683M$
Summit/Noshaq/Wallonie Entreprendre are selling some of their stakes in Odoo to CapitalG/Sequoia/etc
They invest in Odoo but by purchasing shares of others

This major transaction underscores Odoo’s leadership position in the SMB software ecosystem and strong, profitable financial profile. It also highlights the company’s continued momentum in reshaping the business software landscape with innovative, accessible solutions for companies worldwide.

In short :

Odoo has consistently grown at 40% per year and expects to reach €1 billion in billings by 2027.
The company has over 13 million users and adds 7,000 new clients each month.
This $526 million investment marks the latest round of third-party investment, underscoring sustained investor confidence in the company’s growth trajectory.
With this investment round, Odoo’s valuation has risen to €5 billion, reflecting the company’s rapid profitable growth and market leadership, even amid a challenging economic landscape.

Since its founding in April 2002, Odoo S.A. has been dedicated to developing and continuously enhancing a comprehensive suite of management software applications for small and mid-sized businesses. Today, with over 13 million users and currently adding more than 7,000 new clients each month, Odoo has built a strong presence in the industry. Known for its intuitive and user-friendly design, Odoo empowers companies to focus on what matters most: improving customer satisfaction, driving innovation, optimising business processes, and scaling operations efficiently.

Odoo S.A. has achieved sustained annual growth of 40% and is projected to exceed $683 million in billings within the next 12 months, with a target of reaching €1 billion in billings by 2027. The company has strengthened its global presence by establishing 15 subsidiaries and building a network of 7,500 partners worldwide. With this latest investment, Odoo S.A.’s valuation has reached €5 billion.

“Fabien and his team have built a one-of-a-kind business from their ambitious vision for a unified suite of tightly integrated business apps,” said Alex Nichols, partner at CapitalG, the independent growth firm of Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company. “Odoo’s powerful and easy-to-use suite of apps has won over customers across more than 100 countries and virtually every industry, as well as companies with anywhere from one to thousands of employees. The team’s two decades of dedication and long-term thinking have fostered a robust community of partners, contributors, and users that will serve as their foundation for years to come. We are thrilled to partner with Fabien and the rest of Odoo’s leadership team.”

“Odoo has built an outstanding software company with a unique culture, product suite, and ecosystem,” said Andrew Reed, partner at Sequoia Capital. “Odoo is a tremendous business already, and it feels like their best days are still ahead. Odoo has the long-term potential to transform the SMB software market and deliver enormous value to customers. We’re excited to partner with Fabien and the Odoo team for the long term.“

The recent launch of Odoo 18, the most advanced iteration of the company’s software, on October 2nd strengthens the company’s market position and enhances overall performance and customer experience.

“ERPs are traditionally expensive and resource-intensive to implement, often failing to meet the actual needs and evolving requirements of SMEs. We have developed a unique value proposition that is playing a pivotal role in the market,” explains Fabien Pinckaers, founder and CEO of Odoo S.A.

This €500 million investment exemplifies the international recognition and trust that Odoo has garnered within the investment community. Following investments led by Summit Partners in 2019, 2021 and 2022, this latest round further highlights Odoo’s appeal to investors.

Faris Al Mazrui, Head of Growth at Mubadala, said, “Odoo stands out as a prime example of innovation in global software, offering scalable, adaptable solutions that empower businesses in the digital and cloud transformation journey. With Mubadala’s expertise in software investments and the UAE’s role as a fast-growing tech hub, we see Odoo as an exceptional partner for companies adapting to cloud and AI megatrends. We’re excited to support their growth worldwide”.

“Odoo continues to deliver solutions that we believe are helping to transform the business software landscape – and they are doing so with impressive traction,” added Antony Clavel, a Managing Director at Summit Partners who has served on the Odoo Board of Directors since Summit’s initial investment in 2019. “We are delighted to welcome new investors and look forward to working together to support Odoo’s exciting growth trajectory.” Following this transaction, Summit remains Odoo’s largest institutional shareholder.

Odoo does not stop here. For 2025, the unicorn is already expecting many more opportunities and expansion projects, enhancing Odoo’s capabilities for research and development and allowing accelerated innovation in its product offerings.

“We are expecting to open five new subsidiaries within the next three years across Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific,” said Sebastien Bruyr, Odoo S.A. Chief Commercial Officer. Odoo’s Chief Finance Officer, Alessandro Mazzocchetti, added, “I’m confident that Odoo will remain profitable in terms of EBITDA and Cash Flow as we expand our team and global reach. We will keep working hard to serve our customers and partners!”.

For Olivier Vanderijst, CEO of Wallonie Entreprendre (WE), “the visionary and strategic nature of Odoo’s management and the rigour with which it has implemented this vision have led to an incredible valuation of 5 billion euros, which has attracted the best investors in the world. This is why WE have signed this transaction while remaining a shareholder in the company to support its future growth as a local player”.

J.P. Morgan SE acted as the exclusive placement agent on this transaction.

The Rising Need for Insurance in Gated Communities in India – Ethika Leads the Way Forward

ST Correspondent — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 17:02:08 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 15: As India undergoes rapid urbanisation, gated communities have become increasingly popular for their secure, community-focused environment. However, rapid urbanisation is also leading to challenges to the safety and security of the residents. The onus of such safety, especially from outsiders, falls on the shoulders of society’s management. Susheel Agarwal, Founder of Ethika Insurance broking, emphasises the need for specialized insurance policies tailored for gated communities to address such challenges and ensure a safe, harmonious living environment.

“India is transforming into an urban society, and gated communities offer a secure lifestyle that resonates with urban residents. However, they also bring complex needs that traditional insurance policies struggle to meet,” says Susheel Agarwal. “At Ethika, we have developed insurance solutions along with multiple insurance companies designed specifically for the evolving requirements of such communities. Our solutions ensure the protection of not only the residential areas but also the common ones. More importantly, we have tailored solutions that can protect the society’s management.”

Addressing the Unique Needs of Gated Communities

Unlike individual homeowners, gated communities require policies that cover common spaces, infrastructure, and shared assets. Traditional insurance products often fail to address issues arising from shared ownership, such as liabilities arising in common areas, unexpected damage, and heightened security risks due to rising crime rates in urban neighborhoods. Ethika’s approach provides comprehensive protection that encompasses all aspects of community living, mitigating potential risks and ensuring peace of mind for residents.

Susheel Agarwal explains, “Our solutions extend beyond the standard policies. We aim to cover every facet of a gated community’s needs, including liability coverage for the community’s management, protection for shared assets like clubhouses and pools, personal accident coverage for security staff and employers liability for the community’s management. Our vision is to ensure that the communities we serve can focus on thriving without worrying about unexpected setbacks.”

Solutions to Common Challenges in Gated Communities

One pressing issue is liability in shared spaces. Accidents in common areas, disputes over property damage, and injuries involving maintenance staff or third-party vendors can become complicated legal and financial challenges. Ethika’s insurance solutions address these liabilities by covering potential disputes and legal costs, ensuring smooth resolution for the community.

Furthermore, Ethika offers customizable insurance plans that address the unique concerns of each gated community, such as natural disaster protection, fire insurance, group health insurance and personal accident insurance for staff. By offering specialized plans, Ethika enables communities to tailor their coverage to align with specific needs and budgets.

An Urban Shift in Living, A New Standard in Security

India’s move towards urban living has accelerated the adoption of gated communities. With this shift comes a greater demand for robust risk management. Ethika’s comprehensive insurance offerings ensure that residents feel safe, and community management can confidently address challenges without risking financial losses.

“Our goal is not just to provide insurance but to foster a peaceful, well-protected environment where community residents and management teams feel supported,” Agarwal adds. “Ethika’s specialized policies are designed to bring real value to gated communities, enabling them to flourish in a rapidly urbanizing India.”

About Ethika Insurance Broking Pvt. Ltd.

Susheel Agarwal founded Ethika on a commitment to ethical, customer-first insurance practices; Ethika Insurance Broking has emerged as a leader in providing customised insurance solutions across India. By offering innovative and flexible coverage plans, Ethika continues to redefine insurance, making it accessible and meaningful for a diverse range of clients, including gated communities, corporations, and individual customers.

Kathmandu Nightclubs In the 1970s to Making It Big: Binod Chaudhary Story

ST Correspondent — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 21:46:10 +0530

New Delhi [India], November 12: In the foothills of the Himalayas, where tradition meets modernity, a remarkable journey began—one that would take a young dreamer from Kathmandu to become Nepal’s first billionaire. Making It Big chronicles this inspiring rise, from early days managing a nightclub to establishing a global business empire. The story is about adventure, resilience, and relentless ambition, showing what it truly means to “make it big.”

Bold Beginnings: Copper Floor and the Kathmandu Nightlife Scene

In the early 1970s, Kathmandu was a city of contrasts, steeped in tradition yet slowly embracing new influences. Into this evolving cultural landscape came Copper Floor, the city’s first exclusive nightclub, launched by a young entrepreneur with big dreams and a taste for adventure. Located in the upscale Lazimpat neighbourhood and run with a close friend, Copper Floor was a bold move, a departure from the societal expectations of a conservative Marwari family.

Copper Floor was more than just a club; it was an introduction to modern nightlife culture, complete with imported disco lights, music systems from Singapore, and an ambience Kathmandu had never seen before. Quickly, it became the go-to spot for Nepal’s elite, diplomats, and even members of the royal family. Regular patrons included high-profile personalities, making the club a cultural phenomenon.

However, the journey was challenging. In a conservative society, running a nightclub was often viewed with suspicion, and there was scepticism even within the family. Despite the criticism, the young entrepreneur pressed on, convinced that Copper Floor was the beginning of a bigger dream.

Lessons in High Stakes: Business, Branding, and Resilience

While glamorous, Copper Floor also proved an invaluable training ground, teaching lessons in branding, customer loyalty, and business strategy. The importance of creating a memorable experience that kept patrons returning would later shape the success of ventures like Wai Wai, the famous instant noodle brand. The nightclub introduced valuable skills in managing a high-stakes business, handling elite customers, and establishing a unique brand identity.

Running Copper Floor also revealed the realities of a high-stakes environment. Managing a club required constant adaptation and quick thinking, from handling late-night crowds to navigating societal backlash. These early experiences forged a resilient spirit, preparing for the challenges of building a billion-dollar empire.

The Transition: From Nightlife to Global Business Ventures

Though Copper Floor was successful, ambitions stretched far beyond the Kathmandu nightlife scene. The next big move came with the creation of Wai Wai, an instant noodle brand that quickly became a staple in Nepal and India. Spotting a gap in the market, this young entrepreneur understood that instant noodles had the potential to become a daily staple, especially for younger consumers.

With Wai Wai, the “Himalayan hustle” took on new dimensions. Manufacturing and distributing noodles across Nepal came with challenges, from logistical issues to rugged terrain. But, driven by an unyielding vision, the brand quickly became a household name, known for its affordability, convenience, and unique flavor. Today, Wai Wai has achieved global success, a testament to the ability to build brands that resonate with people across borders.

Building an Empire: The CG Corp Global Story

Despite the setbacks, the young entrepreneur continued to grow, expanding the business across multiple sectors. CG Corp Global, a conglomerate with a presence in hospitality, real estate, finance, and education, became Nepal’s first multinational. With projects from Asia to Africa, CG Corp Global employs thousands and contributes to community development, poverty alleviation, and social welfare in Nepal and beyond.

Beyond personal success, the vision has always been to promote Nepal’s potential on the world stage. Investing internationally drew attention to Nepal as a hub for business and innovation. From Kathmandu’s nightlife to global enterprises, this remarkable journey exemplifies the power of dreaming big and taking bold, calculated risks.

Legacy of the Himalayan Hustle

Making It Big offers more than just a business memoir. It shares a philosophy of courage, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to one’s homeland. The “Himalayan hustle” is not simply about working hard; it embodies resilience, creativity, and a dedication to family and culture.

The story inspires entrepreneurs worldwide, particularly those from emerging economies who face unique challenges. The journey shows that global success can be achieved while staying true to local roots and values. Starting with a nightclub in Kathmandu and growing into a multinational empire, this life story proves that high stakes and hard hustle can turn even the most unlikely dreams into reality.

Making It Big, the Himalayan Way

Making it big isn’t just the account of one person’s path to success; it’s a blueprint for anyone who dares to dream beyond their circumstances. From Kathmandu’s nightlife scene to a global empire, the story speaks of courage, innovation, and the transformative power of resilience. Success is redefined—not just as wealth or fame, but as the ability to make a lasting impact.

Through the pages of this book, readers are invited to embrace their own “Himalayan hustle” and remember that, with vision and resilience, even the highest peaks can be conquered. Making it big, after all, is not just about achieving personal success; it’s about creating opportunities, challenging norms, and leaving a legacy that endures.

“As the youngest Indian ambassador in history at age 29, I am deeply committed to strengthening the bonds between India and Africa.

Sahil’s leadership extends to roles as Managing Director, Chairman, and Advisor to multiple multinational companies, showcasing his global perspective and diplomatic capabilities.

The World Sanitation Agency (WSA), a UN Observer, has been at the forefront of developing innovative approaches and technologies in the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sector since 1988.

The organisation’s mandate encompasses all African nations, focusing on sustainable water and sanitation solutions while incorporating economic and financial models to enhance sector funding.

“My appointment represents more than personal achievement; it’s an opportunity to harness India’s technological prowess and expertise to empower African nations in their journey toward sustainable water and sanitation solutions,” Dr Singh emphasises, outlining his mission.

Dr. Singh’s appointment as WSA Ambassador and Envoy to India presents a unique opportunity to strengthen Indo-African relations. His extensive experience in technology, international affairs, and business development positions him ideally to facilitate knowledge exchange and technological collaboration between India and African nations in the WASH sector.

His vision encompasses leveraging India’s expertise in digital solutions and infrastructure development to address Africa’s water and sanitation challenges while fostering diplomatic and economic ties between the two regions.

Digital house hunting- A rising and pathbreaking trend of 2024

ST Correspondent — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 15:56:43 +0530

New Delhi [India], October 29: Over the last decade, Indian real estate has witnessed some tremendous changes. According to experts, it is an example of a shining India. Like all other sectors, technology has also made its inroads in real estate. Some market analysts say this trend is here to stay. Today, searching for a house online is possible, and this is a common practice adopted by potential buyers and corporate houses. These have emerged as the optimum medium for selling or leasing apartments and attracting new buyers. The target audience of such campaigns is usually Gen Z and tech-savvy people.

Shravan Gupta, MGF Group, says digital house hunting is the latest trend for 2024. The experts say this will become more prominent and the go-to medium for the real estate segment.

Digital house hunting as the trendsetter

Today, almost everything is sold on social media and the internet. Hence, builders, too, are encased by this change. It is scarce for a person to go house hunting physically due to lack of time and distance. And digital house hunting is the solution to this problem. Shravan Gupta, MGF Group, says most builders have their own websites to promote new and current housing projects. The presence of online real estate portals like makaan.com is on the rise. And one can view everything about the property from the comfort of their office. This trend will continue for a few more years as the world becomes more tech-savvy.

Single avenue for information

It is hard to find a house which meets all your criteria by visiting physically every place. But in digital house hunting, it is possible to locate your dream home by providing details like price, locality, carpet area, and nearby places. This saves travel time and gives you a picture of your dream home through AI or 3D models.

All this can be done with the touch of a single click. This will boost sales in the housing and commercial segment. And popularize India as the ultimate destination for your next home. Experts say this is likely to attract more NRI investors and buyers. A trend that will make India a global market.

Ease of doing business

The paperwork takes a long time when buying flats. But now it is possible to do all such work online and save time. The banks have eased the rules by providing online housing loans, which has eased the process for buyers. A housing or commercial loan can be availed at a single click. It also allows one to compare the loan rates from the comfort of home or office. This has also brought transparency in the real estate segment, proving beneficial for builders. Shravan Gupta, MGF Group, believes this is a welcome change and a boon for the real estate sector. The advent of technology has made it possible to learn about EMIs and make deductions available through attractive schemes.

Digital house hunting is on the boom in the Indian real estate segment. It signals a positive sign for the growth of the sector and is beneficial for the Indian economy. Going forward, most real estate companies will have to adopt the digital policy first.

His kindness extends to his community, where last year, he donated 10 cows as part of a wedding ritual, reflecting his generous spirit.

KD Farms, known for its range of dairy products, delivers raw, unprocessed milk, paneer, curd, shrikhand, and ghee, all produced with the highest level of care and hygiene. The farm’s automated processes ensure that products remain untouched by human hands, maintaining quality from production to delivery. Karna Desai’s focus on innovation doesn’t stop with automation; his emphasis on safety and hygiene means that all products are rigorously tested before reaching consumers.

Karna Desai’s vision goes beyond the farm. He strives to create a blueprint for sustainable dairy farming in India, where the welfare of both animals and people is prioritized. KD Farms is more than just a business; it is a model of how agriculture, technology, and compassion can come together to create a self-sustaining future.

In every aspect of his work, Karna Desai remains committed to making a positive impact—whether it’s helping fellow farmers, caring for animals, or providing high-quality dairy products to consumers. His leadership continues to inspire those around him, as he builds a legacy of innovation, kindness, and sustainability in the world of dairy farming.

Positive Mind Care Unveils Two Initiatives to Revolutionize Mental Health Treatment in India

ST Correspondent — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 14:11:14 +0530

New Delhi [India] October 28: In a landmark event held on October 27, 2024, Positive Mind Care introduced two pioneering initiatives aimed at tackling India’s mental health crisis: the Positive Mind Care Digital Platform with cutting-edge AI capabilities and the Positive Mind Care Ambassador Program. These programs were launched in response to rising mental health concerns, social stigma, and limited access to professional care across the nation. This dual-launch event brought together health professionals, technology experts, government representatives, and community advocates, marking a pivotal step toward creating a digitally empowered mental health ecosystem.

It is also designed to optimize India’s limited mental health workforce, allowing professionals to reach more individuals in need.

Key features of the Positive Mind Care Digital Platform include

Enhanced Accessibility: The platform is available in multiple languages, making it easier for people across India to receive mental health support.
Confidential, Remote Access: Individuals can seek help without fear of social stigma, enhancing mental health care access and encouraging early intervention.

The Urgency for Innovative Mental Health Solutions in India

This dual launch addresses an urgent need for mental health innovation in India, where mental health conditions are worsening due to stigma and inadequate access to care. Recent data highlights the pressing need for interventions:

13.7% of India’s population (over 150 million people) suffers from mental disorders (National Mental Health Survey 2019-2020).
83% of individuals with mental health disorders in India do not receive treatment (Lancet Commission).
Mental health issues are projected to cost India $1.03 trillion in lost economic output between 2012 and 2030 (World Economic Forum).
The country has only 0.29 psychiatrists and 0.07 psychologists per 100,000 population (WHO).
COVID-19 led to a 67.7% increase in mental health consultations during lockdowns (Indian Journal of Psychiatry).
80% of individuals with mental health conditions avoid seeking help due to stigma (NIMHANS).

The Positive Mind Care platform is a milestone in integrating AI with mental health services, promising more inclusive and sustainable mental health care for all.

Quote from Founders:

A Comprehensive Solution for India’s Mental Health Landscape

Together, these initiatives aim to set a benchmark in mental healthcare accessibility, awareness, and intervention, creating a digital ecosystem that promises to transform India’s mental health landscape. Positive Mind Care’s efforts align with the government’s mission to make mental healthcare universally accessible and affordable, providing a model for other nations facing similar challenges.

The #BhavBhagvanChe Master Trader Program stands out from other stock market courses by addressing a key element that most traders overlook—trading psychology. Kalpesh emphasizes that 70% of a trader’s success lies in developing the right mindset, while only 20% depends on strategy and 10% on money management. His program is designed to build a disciplined, rule-based trading mindset, particularly for those who have experienced frequent losses in the market.

“Many traders focus only on stock selection and technical indicators, but what they truly need is a solid mindset to handle market volatility,” says Kalpesh Patel. His program not only teaches effective stock selection but also covers crucial aspects like entry and exit strategies, profit protection, and money management.

The results speak for themselves—video testimonials from his students highlight the program’s success in turning loss-making traders into consistently profitable ones. One of his students, Rakesh Mehta, shares, “Before joining the program, I was constantly losing money, but now I’m consistently profitable and confident in my trades.”

A certified NISM Research Analyst with multiple certifications from NSE and BSE, Kalpesh is also a master at identifying multi-bagger stocks using his proprietary Double Diamond Strategy. His simple, no-nonsense approach to stock market education has made him immensely popular among new traders, who often find traditional trading strategies too complex to apply in real markets.

However, Kalpesh’s journey doesn’t stop there. He is also working on his upcoming book, titled “Bhav Bhagvan Che,” set to be published in 2025. The book will delve deeper into his trading philosophy and provide a roadmap for both novice and experienced traders to navigate the stock market successfully.

Kalpesh’s mission is clear: to help traders not just survive, but thrive in the stock market. His Master Trader Program #BhavBhagvanChe offers a step-by-step guide to achieving that goal, with valuable insights on everything from selecting the right stocks to mastering trading psychology. As Kalpesh often reminds his students, “The market is the ultimate teacher, but with the right mindset, you can make it your ally.”

In today’s volatile market conditions, Kalpesh’s expertise is proving invaluable. His students are not only learning how to protect their capital but also how to profit in a way that ensures long-term wealth creation. By focusing on the psychological aspects of trading, Kalpesh Patel is helping traders break free from the cycle of losses and build a future filled with financial success.

Sameera Group Of Companies – Sailing In The Vision Of Mr. M. Sandeep Kumar

ST Correspondent — Thu, 24 Oct 2024 14:35:41 +0530

New Delhi [India] October 24: Founded in 1982 with the primary vision of growing into a ‘company of good companions,’ Sameera Group of Companies has now become one of India’s leading conglomerates. Sameera Group has diversified interests in real estate, warehousing, education, hospitality, transportation, wind energy generation, and insurance. What began as a land bank generator has now evolved into India’s first and largest township developer with Sameera Lands and Construction. The forward-thinking management has consistently pushed boundaries, with one such driving force being Mr. M. Sandeep Kumar, a gem among the many skilled managing directors.

Where It All Began

It is without doubt that Sandeep, who took over as CEO in February 2022, played a valuable catalyst in Sameera Group’s rapid expansion and success. Possessing a strong educational foundation with a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from Loyola College, Chennai, followed by an MBA from PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, Sandeep’s leadership acumen and passion for the real estate industry knew no bounds.

Major Contributions

Sandeep has played a key role in the company’s most ambitious projects, developing over 5 million square feet of land in just two years. His first major project as CEO was the development of Wood Haven and Crown City in Chengalpattu, where he was deeply involved in every phase—from conceptualisation to execution. Sandeep had dedicated himself entirely to developing his first project, working closely with architects and contractors from selecting materials to overseeing completion. His hands-on guidance ensured the on-time completion of site development, which had been a significant contribution to the sales team’s success. Additionally, he poured his heart and soul into the New Vision Township in East Tambaram, showcasing his incredible commitment and resilience.

Expanding Horizons

Beyond plotted site development, Sandeep has also been involved in commercial site development, warehouses, schools, and hotels. His keen interest in design and astrology informs his decision-making, allowing him to create harmonious environments in every project.

Notable projects under his guidance include Vajralayam in Walajapet, New Vision Township in East Tambaram, New Blossom in Thirumazisai, Springdale in Chengalpattu, Iris in Kundrathur, and Kanchi Big Town in Kanchipuram.

Sandeep’s hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed. In 2024, he was honoured with the Enterprising Young CEO of the Year award at the Times Business Awards, reflecting his entrepreneurial spirit and role in transforming Sameera Group into a powerhouse in the real estate industry.

Expertise in Legal and Regulatory Compliance

A key strength of Sandeep is his deep understanding of legal and regulatory frameworks, which is crucial in the real estate sector. He has personally ensured that all of Sameera Group’s projects comply with the stringent requirements of CMDA (Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority), DTCP (Directorate of Town and Country Planning), and RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority). His expertise in liaising and securing approvals has ensured that projects move forward without unnecessary delays, building trust among clients and investors.

Leadership and Employee Care

Sandeep is known for treating his employees like family and fostering a supportive, collaborative work environment. His strengths in team allocation and coordination ensure that each team member is in a role suited to their strengths. His empathetic leadership style has helped create fully functioning teams that complement each other to achieve ambitious goals.

Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, Sandeep Kumar is committed to expanding Sameera Group’s portfolio, further solidifying its position as a leader in multiple sectors. His vision extends far beyond real estate, with a focus on innovation, sustainability, and delivering quality developments that stand the test of time. Under his guidance, Sameera Group is set to continue its upward trajectory, driven by a dedication to excellence and a commitment to creating spaces that enhance the quality of life.

The Start Up India certified company, Cloveify can help the new generation of India switch from brands supporting non-sustainable packaging materials.

An answer to the shopping demands of eco-conscious shoppers, fashion-forward youth, and socially responsible shoppers, the Jaipur-held launch event of Cloveify is now gaining traction among eco-conscious online shoppers across India. Within just a few days since its launch event, Cloveify has already started doing its part in filling the gap where fashion and sustainability options are limited.

ST Correspondent — Tue, 22 Oct 2024 16:54:55 +0530

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India] October 22 : A silent struggle unfolds daily in most coaching institutes in India. Coaching Centres, Sports academies, and Exam preparation institutes – numbering around 7.7 lakhs across the country are struggling to grow. This challenge has long been overlooked, affecting 62% of the market. That’s when the Nurture CRM, a need-of-the-hour solution, was launched in 2022 by Akademe Edify Tech Solutions Private Limited, backed by InnVentures.

“We saw an overlooked space in this sector,” says Anand PV, Founder and CEO of Nurture App. “Institutes were drowning in administrative tasks, struggling with fee collection and scalable tech infrastructure. We asked ourselves, ‘How can we help these educators to focus on what they do best – teaching?'”

The answer came from the Nurture App, a comprehensive CRM solution designed exceptionally for online and offline institutes. This platform addresses the industry’s fundamental issues, bridging between what’s good for institutes and what’s suitable for students.

Shailesh Gambhir, Founder and CTO, explains the app’s approach: “We’re a people-driven organisation providing tech-driven solutions. We work to simplify complex processes, making them accessible to even the most tech-hesitant educators.”

The impact of the Nurture App has been instantaneous and profound. Ankit Jain, Director of Champions Shooting Academy, shares, “Great app for sports enthusiasts. The interface is swift and allows quick and easy bookings of new members. Students seem to be well-informed about reminders made through the app. Keep up the good work, Nurture.”

This sentiment is echoed across various educational sectors. Nitin Khandelwal, founder of QIFM, describes the app as a “game-changer,” praising its easy integration of daily operations from student enrollment to financial management.

“It’s been a few months that we have been using Nurture app services,” Amrita Praseeda of Soundkraft shared. “It was a random find, and I am extremely happy that we have this association. Very user-friendly app, and it’s helping us to manage our database and payments pretty well and evolving every day with new features. Special kudos to the team, which is always available to help us out without delay. Wishing the team the very best.”

What sets Nurture apart is its commitment to mutual growth. “We want to profit with our members, not from them,” Anand shares. This philosophy is reflected in their business model, which doesn’t rely on onboarding fees, migration fees, or customer requirements.

The app’s success stories are numerous. Surya Rajendran of Southern Stock Academy notes, “Since implementing the CRM, we can easily track our leads and pending payments and analyse the overall performance of our sales team.”

Akademe Edify Tech Solutions has ambitious plans for expansion and scaling. “We’re working to ease tomorrow’s challenges,” Shailesh says. The team is working on enhancing the app’s features, freeing educators to focus on what matters most – shaping the minds of tomorrow.

HiCOM- Connectivity in a Complex Telecom Landscape

ST Correspondent — Wed, 16 Oct 2024 18:31:30 +0530

Mumbai (Maharastra) [India],October 16: Stable internet connectivity has become more important than anything else in today’s fast paced digital world. With the rising demand of bandwidth, several issues are posing great challenges in providing seamless telecom services- from infrastructure to rising customer demands and expectations. Amid this complex environment is a company making tremendous strides, led by visionary entrepreneur Vikas Sharma, who founded HiCOM. Under his aegis, HiCOM is dealing with these very challenges yet coming up with new standards for the industry.

Challenges of the Telecom Industry

The telecom industry has long been marked by a caustic terrain of challenges. Aging infrastructure, regulatory hurdles, customer satisfaction and intense competition means that it frequently becomes challenging for providers to meet customer demands. On top of this, the rapidly changing environment in terms of technology obliges companies to stay abreast of the changes faster than their competition and with numerous service options at their disposal, the customer becomes overwhelmed and their loyalty is thus often fleeting.

HiCOM approaches these issues by leveraging innovative solutions with a customer focused approach. The company philosophy bases itself on realizing and understanding the unique needs of each and every one of its users, then tailoring its services toward that.

Embracing Technology and Prioritizing Customer Satisfaction

HiCOM is an advocate of using the most up to date technology in the industry to enable faster and more reliable internet services. This comprises not only developing the network but also utilizing state-of-the-art technologies including fiber-optic connectivity and 5G networks. By staying ahead of technological trends, HiCOM is in a position to give its customers much more superior service that they expect to get from this provider.

But the most important aspect of providing a service is customer satisfaction. HiCOM has 24×7 customer support services but is also planning on focusing on an uninterrupted seamless customer helpdesk branch dedicated to solving tech and IT related issues of the clients in a fast and efficient manner. In an industry where frustration is commonly caused by long wait times and unresponsive support, HiCOM plans to stand out from the rest in prioritizing customer experience.

Beyond internet services, the founder VIkas Sharma has a dream for revolutionizing the way people connect. It is his rich understanding of the telecom landscape that may be the key to the company’s success. He believes in the power of community and collaboration, often encouraging that customer feedback plays a critical role in shaping the company. This is what keeps HiCOM ahead of its competition.

Vikas Sharma: A Visionary Leader

Vikas Sharma, the founder and Managing Director of HiCOM, brings over 15 years of work experience to the table. An alumnus of IIM Kozhikode, Vikas is a serial entrepreneur and investor whose extraordinary leadership has driven HiCOM’s impressive growth and innovation. His developed background and expertise allow him to navigate the complexities of the telecom landscape with agility and insight.

He strongly believes that commitment to excellence and a customer focus mindset is vital in every aspect of HiCOM’s operations. He emphasizes the importance of building a company culture that values trust, transparency and community engagement. Under his guidance and leadership, HiCOM has become an ISP that provides top quality services and connectivity for its customers.

Building Trust and Loyalty

In an industry often marred with customer dissatisfaction, building trust and loyalty sits atop the hierarchy of priorities for HiCOM. With transparent pricing, simple contracts and reliable service, it gives confidence to customers that they are valued and respected. Through such ends, trust becomes the base point for customer retention in a highly competitive marketplace.

In addition, HiCOM is highly enthusiastic to engage in community activities that point again to its aspirations to be more than just another internet provider. Via involvement through their very active social media presence, HiCOM builds strong relations with customers.
HiCOM is a leading Internet Service Provider (ISP) offering fast, secure, and reliable internet

and IT solutions to businesses and individuals. Founded by Vikas Sharma, HiCOM specializes in commercial internet and managed IT services, delivering high-speed internet with a customer-first approach.

HiCOM, is a brilliant example of what an Internet Service Provider can do in grasping the intricacies of the telecom industry and it does so with up to date technology and innovative solutions to maintain a positive customer experience that helps to create a more connected organization as a whole.

As Vikas Sharma continues to expand his vision with HICOM and other related ventures, It’s clear that his impactful contributions to the telecom landscape will serve as a significant cornerstone for future developments and HiCOM remains a proof that innovation, trust and customer-centric service can be the power behind success especially in an ever-evolving modern digital age. With a commitment to innovation, transparency, and customer satisfaction, HiCOM is setting new standards in the telecom industry.

ApeLabs AirSpin-The Next Big Thing in Audio Tech

ST Correspondent — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 13:56:55 +0530

Mumbai (Maharastra) [India],October 11: Every once in a while, a product comes along that shakes up the tech world—something that feels so ahead of its time that it forces everyone else to catch up. Think about the first iPhone, the game-changing iPod. Well, ApeLabs’ AirSpin might just be that next big moment in audio tech. With its exclusive metallic ring, a design feature no other wireless earbuds currently offer, AirSpin is redefining not only how earbuds look, but how they feel and perform in your everyday life. Move over Apple; there’s a new contender in town.

Aesthetics Meets Durability: Let’s talk about the design because AirSpin is a head-turner. The metallic ring adds a level of durability and sophistication that simply doesn’t exist in its competitors. While most brands are focused on plastic shells, ApeLabs decided to bring a luxury feel to the earbud game, giving you something that’s not just stylish but built to last.

From the Gym to the Office—It’s Got You Covered: AirSpin adapts to your lifestyle seamlessly. Whether you’re out for a run or on a business call, the sleek design and Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) ensure that you hear only what matters. Plus, its IPX5 rating means these buds aren’t afraid of a little sweat, making them perfect for both the boardroom and the gym.

Now, let’s be real—when it comes to innovation, Apple is the gold standard. But what makes ApeLabs’ AirSpin so exciting is that it’s taking things a step further. Apple AirPods have their charm, but they don’t offer the metallic durability or the low latency needed for serious gaming or intensive workouts. And let’s not forget—AirSpin delivers 30 hours of playtime, which means it outlasts most competitors in its category, Apple included.

What makes AirSpin truly stand out is how it’s transforming everyday experiences. Suman, a startup founder, shared:

“Switching to AirSpin was like upgrading my entire audio experience. Whether I’m taking a conference call or hitting the gym after work, the metallic ring design keeps it comfortable and durable, and the ENC makes my calls crystal clear.”

And then there’s Karthik, a gamer, who said:

“The low latency is a game-changer. I’ve tried everything from Apple to Jabra, but AirSpin is the first set of earbuds where the audio syncs perfectly with my gaming. I can’t believe I didn’t switch sooner.”

AirSpin has managed to position itself as a versatile product that meets a range of needs. Whether you’re looking for best earbuds for workouts, high-end design wireless earbuds, or just best affordable earbuds in India, the search engines are bound to notice.

If you’re looking for the next big thing in tech, ApeLabs’ AirSpin is where you need to start. With its exclusive metallic ring, unbeatable battery life, and all-around versatility, it’s set to revolutionize how you experience sound. And if you think Apple has already defined what great earbuds are, you might want to think again. Experience AirSpin now at ApeLabs and join the revolution.

Akash Joshi Illuminates Pathways for MSMEs and Startups at the Regional Industry Conclave 2024 in MP

ST Correspondent — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 13:56:55 +0530

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India] October 11: The 4th edition of the Regional Industry Conclave took place on September 27, 2024, at the Jawahar Lal Nehru Police Academy Ground in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh. This annual event aimed to address the region’s industrial disparities and unlock its vast potential by bringing together government officials, industry leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs to explore opportunities in sectors such as mining, tourism, MSMEs, and renewable energy.

Among the key speakers was Akash Joshi, Co-Founder and Director of IMAST Operations Private Limited, who participated as a panelist in the session focused on Opportunities in MSMEs and Startups. Joshi shared his insights on why Madhya Pradesh, particularly cities like Indore, is an ideal location for businesses to establish corporate offices. He highlighted the state’s superior infrastructure, cleaner environment, cost-effective living standards, and an abundance of skilled manpower—all bolstered by supportive government policies.

Joshi pointed out that cities like Indore offer an excellent balance of high living standards, affordable housing, quality healthcare, and access to good education, making it easier to attract and retain skilled employees at IMAST. He also emphasized the central location of the state, which offers strong connectivity and reduced commute times, contributing to a better work-life balance for employees.

Speaking as CO founder of IMAST, Akash Joshi underscored how Madhya Pradesh’s business-friendly environment, characterized by flexible policies and simplified regulations, is particularly beneficial for MSMEs and startups.

In addition to the infrastructure and government support, Akash Joshi delved into the common mistakes startups make during their early stages. He advised entrepreneurs to avoid spreading themselves too thin by juggling multiple ideas. Instead, they should concentrate on refining one core idea, gaining in-depth knowledge, conducting market research, and running pilot tests before scaling up. He stressed that focusing resources on a single idea helps build a solid foundation for long-term success.

To make his points relatable, Akash Joshi humorously likened the startup process to cooking, drawing parallels between creating a well-prepared dish and building a successful business. Just as cooking requires the right ingredients, timing, and techniques, he explained that growing a business demands careful planning, strategic execution, and adaptability based on feedback. The analogy struck a chord with the audience, simplifying intricate business principles into digestible concepts.

The conclave served as a significant platform for fostering collaboration among stakeholders, providing invaluable insights on harnessing Madhya Pradesh’s industrial potential. Akash Joshi’s perspectives offered a fresh outlook on how businesses, particularly MSMEs and startups, can thrive in the region’s evolving business landscape.

The event was a testament to the Madhya Pradesh government’s commitment to promoting the state as a hub for industrial and entrepreneurial growth.

During his 21 years of professional journey, it is only CBP that Amol Awasthi has been associated with; in fact there are multiple businesses and projects that he has assisted. He has invested in several businesses financially as well as through his consultation to run business smoothly.

Incubators are Driving India’s Entrepreneurship Ambition: Raja Singh Bhurji, CEO, The StepUp Ventures

ST Correspondent — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 16:24:57 +0530

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India] October 4 : India’s ambitious goal of achieving a $5 trillion economy by 2026-27 requires a multifaceted approach. To transform this vision into reality, the country needs to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, especially in the early stages of learning. As per a report by Statista, over 127 thousand startups have been officially recognised by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) as of April 2024. One of the key factors driving India’s entrepreneurship ambition is the rise of incubators, fostering innovative ideas and talent to drive the country’s ambition to become a hub for budding entrepreneurs and business growth.

As entrepreneurship rises in India, understanding the key stages of startups offers crucial insights for navigating this dynamic landscape. Startups begin in the ideation stage, where business ideas are developed by identifying market gaps and conducting research. In the validation stage, products or services are tested to assess market demand. Next comes creating a business plan that outlines goals, target markets, and financial strategies. The early-stage funding and growth phase focuses on scaling operations and seeking external investment. Finally, in the expansion stage, startups explore new markets, diversify offerings, and consider exit strategies like mergers or acquisitions.

Challenges in the Startup Ecosystem:

Despite the growing trend of the startup ecosystem, India still struggles to achieve a significant spot on the global stage due to several underlying reasons including:

A common lack of fundamental business skills exists, and many schools and colleges in India are deficient in proper training and knowledge of entrepreneurship. The emphasis on theoretical education widens the gap between innovative visions and practical exposure.
The Indian education system offers limited opportunities for specialized training in entrepreneurship, and a lack of advanced knowledge in programs like MBAs exacerbates this issue.
Young entrepreneurs often face challenges in early-stage development due to insufficient access to experienced mentors who can provide guidance for building successful startups.
Limited networks make it difficult for emerging entrepreneurs to secure the necessary funding to sustain and support their ventures.
Startups frequently encounter bureaucratic obstacles, including complex regulations and protracted approval processes, which impede their growth.

Government Support and Policy Framework

To overcome the staggering challenges. government initiatives like BHASKAR, Make in India, Startup India, and PLI schemes help to drive growth, attract FDI, and enhance industrial infrastructure. The Government of India also provides financial incentives, tax breaks, and regulatory reforms to support innovative startups and promote entrepreneurship via professional training courses to create a supportive ecosystem for innovators.

Along with rising government support, incubators also play a significant role in fostering innovation, nurturing startups, and accelerating the industry’s growth as they provide a conducive environment for entrepreneurs and innovators to transform their ideas into viable products and businesses. The interconnected incubator ecosystem not only accelerates the growth of individual startups but also contributes to the overall development of the economy.

The Pivotal Role of Incubators in Boosting Entrepreneurship in India’s Economic Growth, explained by Raja Singh Bhurji, CEO of The StepUp Ventures:

Job Creation and Employment: The growth of startups through incubators creates numerous employment opportunities, contributing to the country’s economic growth and reducing unemployment.

Leadership and Networking: Valuable insights and support are offered to early-stage startups by experienced mentors and industry experts from incubators, helping them navigate product development, manufacturing, and business strategy challenges.

State-of-the-art Infrastructure: Many startups struggle to access quality equipment and facilities due to financial constraints. Incubators foster innovation, encouraging the development of products and services that address societal challenges.

Funding and Investment: Incubators assist startups in connecting with potential investors and funding agencies for financing. Some offer seed funding or grants, enhancing startups’ financial viability and allowing them to focus on innovation and growth.

As India aims to become a global hub for entrepreneurs, the role of incubators becomes even more critical. These incubators act as breeding grounds for disruptive technologies, financial support, and professional training. By supporting and nurturing startups in emerging sectors such as SaaS, fintech, renewable energy, and Industry 4.0 technologies, incubators contribute to the diversification and modernisation of India’s entrepreneurial landscape.

By utilising new media technologies to create immersive experiences of folk traditions, CMPR aims to bridge the gap between tradition and innovation, ensuring that these important media forms continue to thrive in the digital age.
The Audience Research Wing: With media consumption becoming increasingly complex, this wing focuses on understanding how individuals and communities engage with media. The wing conducts research (Research articles/papers/ case studies) on audience preferences, consumption patterns, and the impact of media on public opinion. These insights are invaluable to both academics and industry professionals, as they shed light on how media content is perceived and its broader societal effects.
The Consultancy Wing: In addition to academic research, CMPR actively engages with the media industry through its consultancy services. The Centre provides strategic advice to media organizations, conducts impact studies and helps shape media strategies.

The Centre for Media and Policy Research is not only a collaborative space for academic institution but also a catalyst for media transformation.

In addition to the research activities at CMPR, the centre is also collaborating with national and international academic institutions and research centers to conduct joint research projects, exchange knowledge and build networks within the academic community. These collaborations have also contributed to the development of CMPR’s strong foundation and reputation as a leading center for media research.

From Teenage Dreamers to Chikankari Champions: The Poshak Story

ST Correspondent — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 18:11:08 +0530

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India] : Poshak Chikan Studio began as the audacious dream of two best friends, Sanaullah Siddiqui and Shahnara Siddiqui, who dared to pursue their passion during a time when the world was filled with uncertainty. Founded in 2020, at the height of the lockdown, Poshak was born out of necessity and a deep-seated desire to preserve the authentic art of Lucknowi chikankari.

The lockdown was a turning point for Sanaullah, who had gained experience working at a chikankari manufacturing firm. He observed the growing trend of machine-made embroidered chikankari being sold as handcrafted chikankari, which didn’t sit well with him. Driven by the belief that this ancient craft deserved more respect and recognition, he and Shahnara Siddiqui, both teenage college dropouts, decided to take a bold step. Without any initial investment and armed with nothing but determination, they founded Poshak, inspiring many with their audacious journey.

Over the past four years, Poshak has established itself as a leading brand in the industry and a beacon of authenticity. Specialising in 100% handmade Lucknowi chikankari clothing, Poshak is committed to keeping this traditional art form alive. What truly sets the brand apart is its dedication to providing meaningful employment to local artisans, who rely on this craft to sustain their families.

In an era where the line between authentic and imitation is often blurred, Poshak remains steadfast in its mission. The brand’s Instagram account, with over 300,000 followers, serves as an educational platform where the founders share the importance of genuine handcrafted chikankari and expose the machine-made replicas that many significant brands falsely market as authentic. This unwavering commitment to transparency and education has garnered Poshak a loyal and discerning customer base and reassured them about the authenticity of the products they are investing in.

Recently, Sanaullah and Shahnara were honoured to participate in the Ekumbh event organised by Unicommerce, where they shared their journey as panellists. The experience was transformative, allowing them to connect with fellow entrepreneurs and exchange ideas. Engaging in these discussions reaffirmed their belief in authenticity and the importance of supporting local craftsmanship.

The story of Poshak Chikan Studio is not just about building a successful brand. It’s about two young entrepreneurs who, without formal business education or financial backing, managed to carve out a niche in a competitive industry by staying true to their values. More importantly, it’s about preserving a cultural heritage and empowering the artisans who are the true custodians of this craft. This mission resonates with many who are connected to the rich tradition of Lucknowi chikankari.

As Poshak continues to grow, the brand remains committed to its mission: to celebrate the rich tradition of Lucknowi chikankari, support the artisans who create these beautiful pieces, and educate consumers about the actual value of authentic craftsmanship.

Explore the Magic of Oman with Greynomad

ST Correspondent — Sun, 01 Sep 2024 13:18:40 +0530

Muscat [Oman] : It’s an honor to be sharing on a topic that is not just close to my heart but is also a reflection of our company’s vision for the future of travel.

As the CEO of Greynomad, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the evolution of global travel trends. One destination that stands out in this ever-expanding landscape is Oman.

Oman, often referred to as the hidden gem of the Middle East, is rapidly emerging as a premier destination for leisure travel and educational tours. It offers a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and a commitment to sustainable tourism that resonates deeply with the values we uphold at Greynomad.

Why Oman?

Oman is a country where tradition and modernity coexist in harmony. Its diverse landscapes range from the rugged Al Hajar Mountains to the serene beaches of the Arabian Sea and the vast expanses of the Wahiba Sands desert. This variety makes it a dream destination for travellers seeking both adventure and tranquillity.

For leisure travellers, Oman provides an authentic experience, far removed from the commercialised hustle and bustle of more traditional tourist hotspots. Whether it’s exploring the ancient forts of Nizwa, wandering through the vibrant souks of Muscat, or diving in the pristine waters of the Daymaniyat Islands, Oman offers something for every kind of traveller.

Educational Tours and Cultural Immersion

Beyond its appeal as a leisure destination, Oman is also making a name for itself in the realm of educational tourism. At Greynomad, we recognise the growing importance of travel as a tool for learning and cultural exchange. Oman’s rich history, coupled with its ongoing commitment to preserving its cultural heritage, makes it an ideal destination for educational tours.

Students and scholars visiting Oman can engage with a history that dates back thousands of years, explore ancient trading routes, and study the country’s unique architecture, which reflects a blend of African, Arab, and Persian influences. Moreover, Oman’s focus on environmental sustainability offers valuable lessons in conservation and eco-tourism.

Oman’s Commitment to Sustainable Tourism

One of the most commendable aspects of Oman’s tourism strategy is its dedication to sustainability. The country has made significant investments in eco-friendly infrastructure and is committed to preserving its natural and cultural heritage.

This aligns perfectly with our ethos at Greynomad, where we strive to promote responsible and sustainable travel.

By choosing Oman, travellers are not just experiencing a destination but also contributing to the preservation of its unique environment and cultural legacy. This is particularly important as the world moves towards more conscious and ethical tourism practices.

Looking Ahead

As we look to the future, Greynomad is excited to expand our offerings in Oman. We believe that this destination has the potential to redefine travel in the Middle East, providing a model for how countries can balance tourism with the preservation of their natural and cultural resources.

In conclusion, Oman is not just an emerging destination; it is a beacon of what the future of travel can and should be. At Greynomad, we are proud to play a role in bringing this incredible destination to the world stage, and we look forward to guiding travellers on journeys that are as enriching as they are unforgettable.

Small Town Dreams, Big Energy Goals: The Luxsun Energy Success Story

ST Correspondent — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 13:03:40 +0530

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India] August 8: In the small town of Satna, a young boy named Yash R Gautam faced disappointment when he failed his High School exams. But Yash did not let this setback stop him. Instead, it fueled his determination to forge his own path and make a real difference.

Yash became interested in renewable energy while in college. As his friends pursued job offers, Yash turned them down. He had a vision to upgrade the way energy is produced. With like-minded friends, Yash started his own company in Renewables.

The early days were challenging. LXN, founded by Yash R Gautam and , his co-founders, is revolutionising how electricity is used. The journey began in 2021 and was filled with many challenges. Yet, Yash and his team’s determination never wavered.

Today, they serve over 15,000 customers, , saving 1,240 MWh of electricity and reducing carbon emissions by 1,179 tons. “Our mission is to optimise your energy usage without any effort on your part. By leveraging Al and machine learning, we ensure you save on energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint,”

Luxsuns business model caters to both businesses and households. And also their real-time tracking and control systems make energy management intuitive and accessible.

Let’s make energy efficiency a norm. Together, we can create a sustainable world.

“We had so many doubts at first,” Yash recalled. “Could we really succeed in spreading awareness of solar energy? But we kept pushing forward. When we secured our first client, it felt like a huge victory for the whole team. Completing that first project motivated us to keep growing our company.”

And then there was no looking back for the team – once a fledgling startup, Luxsun Energy has now turned into a big name – a major force in India’s renewable energy sector. With each successful project, their reputation grew stronger.

Today, Luxsun Energy earns over ₹10 crores in revenue. It has expanded across many states in India.

“Making Luxsun Energy an iconic Indian brand requires total commitment to innovation, sustainability and customer satisfaction,” said Yash. “We use cutting-edge technology, build strong industry partnerships, and never compromise on excellence. Our goal is to redefine the energy landscape for a brighter, greener future.”

At the heart of Luxsun’s success is delivering real value to customers. They use India’s highest-rated solar panels for unbeatable performance. Their swift 10-hour installation process reduces disruption. And their unique mounting designs optimise energy production while looking great.

But Luxsun has a larger mission – inspiring India to transition to net-zero carbon emissions through renewable energy sources. They want to spark a nationwide movement of people embracing cleaner power and creating a healthier planet for future generations.

Yash’s journey from failing high school to becoming a renewable energy entrepreneur is incredibly inspiring. Through tremendous perseverance and belief in sustainable solutions, he built a thriving business with real social impact.

As India works towards its renewable energy goals and tackles climate change, Luxsun Energy is leading the way. They are pioneering a future powered by the sun’s boundless energy.

Maroon Clothing Million Rupees Bra: Where Comfort Meets Confidence

ST Correspondent — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 17:23:32 +0530

Delhi (India), July 30 : Maroon Clothing isn’t your average lingerie brand. Founded in Delhi by Manan Jain and Mehul Jain, a fashion school graduate with a twist, Maroon is all about shaking things up in the world of undergarments.

Manan and Mehul didn’t follow the typical path. They inherited a family business with a 50-year legacy, but their heart belonged to the world of high fashion. So, in 2009, they took a leap and launched Maroon, a brand with a mission to make lingerie anything but boring.

While Manan brought the fashion flair, his brother Mehul, an engineering whiz, ensured the quality was top-notch. Today, Maroon is one of India’s top 10 lingerie manufacturers, churning out a whopping 40,000 pieces a day!

But wait, there’s more! Maroon isn’t just about comfort and quality. They’re all about rang, Hindi for color! Forget the beige basics. Maroon celebrates women with vibrant hues and trendy designs. They even made headlines for creating India’s most expensive bra, a diamond-encrusted masterpiece worth 10 lakh rupees!

Here’s what truly sets Maroon apart:

Championing Body Positivity: They cater to all shapes and sizes, because every woman deserves to feel confident and beautiful.

Inclusivity is key: From curvy cuts to a diverse range of designs, Maroon celebrates inclusivity on and off the runway.

Empowering Women: Their tagline, “Be Equal, God is a Woman,” speaks volumes about their commitment to female empowerment.

Global Ambitions: Not content with dominating India, Maroon is the first lingerie brand to set its sights on the US market.

Maroon goes beyond just selling lingerie; they’re on a mission to transform the way women see themselves. With their focus on comfort, style, and inclusivity, they’re making waves in the fashion industry, one colorful bra at a time.

So, the next time that stretched-out, ill-fitting bra hits the discard pile (we’ve all been there!), say goodbye to the struggle! Maroon Clothing offers a chance to replace it with something truly empowering. Imagine stepping out in lingerie that’s not just comfortable and supportive, but also feels like a secret weapon under one’s clothes. Vibrant colors and trendy designs can grant a confidence boost that radiates from within.

Maroon clothing isn’t just lingerie, it’s an investment in oneself. It’s a way to embrace one’s body, celebrate curves, and rock the latest trends – all without sacrificing comfort or quality. Whether a busy professional, a mommy on the move, or someone who simply wants to feel fabulous every day, Maroon has something to offer.

Bangalore-based Waterful Wants to Supercharge Your Water, Naturally

ST Correspondent — Sat, 27 Jul 2024 15:28:10 +0530

Bangalore (Karnataka) (India) : In today’s wellness-focused world, staying hydrated is a top priority. We all know water is essential, but sometimes plain water just doesn’t feel sufficient. Enter Waterful, a brand focused on making hydration a nutritious, delicious, and convenient experience.

Founded in 2022 by Prathish Nair, Baranidharan Pacha, and Muyeen Munaver, Waterful addresses the need for enhanced hydration. “We believe water is the core of good health, but sometimes it needs a boost. Most of current products are just high sugar and artifical,” says Prathish. Their mission is to create a product that encourages healthy lifestyles by making natural hydration a simple and convenient choice.

Waterful Focuses on Essential Nutrients

Natural fruit drink mixes from Waterful are a great source of vital nutrients often lacking in purified water. RO purification removes impurities but also strips away essential minerals, making water clean but nutritionally empty. “We wanted more natural goodness and less sugar,” says Baranidharan. With components sourced from plants, low calorie and packed with over 10 vitamins and minerals, each sachet that makes a 250ml serving contributes 25% of your daily required allowance (RDA).

The Sustainable Development Goals of the UN, which prioritize health and well-being, inspire Waterful. “We’re aligned with this global commitment to better hydration,” says Muyeen. He further highlights that their goal is to introduce a daily habit that reduces fatigue and dehydration, improving vitality and focus across age groups.

Supercharge Your Hydration with Waterful

Waterful offers a variety of delicious flavours, all made with natural ingredients. Unlike many beverage products on the market, which are high in sugar, artificial flavours, chemical dyes, preservatives, and caffeine, Waterful provides a cleaner, plant-based option. The brand offers:

100% Natural Flavors and Colors: Derived from fruits and vegetables for a pure and natural experience.

Plant-Based Ingredients: Natural oranges, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, turmeric, beetroot, beta carotene, and natural chlorophyll are some of our natural ingredients, making Waterful vegan and exciting.

Antioxidants and Immunity Boosters: Stay healthy and energised 10 plus vitamins and minerals with every sip including Vitamin A, C, D, B6, B12, Zinc and Selenium .

Low Sugar, Zero Artificial Sweeteners: Enjoy guilt-free hydration with Stevia extract for natural sweetness. Just 3.9 grams of unrefined sugar per 250 ml serving, along with a pinch of salt for electrolytic balance.

Zero Preservatives, Caffeine-Free, and Gluten-Free: Suitable for a variety of dietary needs.

With Waterful, staying hydrated is no longer a chore. Each Waterful sachet transforms water into a delicious and nutritious 250 ml drink, making wellness a simple, easy to carry easy to use daily ritual.

Waterful has caught the attention of high-end establishments across India. The brand has secured partnerships with hotel chains such as Leela Palace, JW Marriott, and St. Regis. Golf clubs, including the Karnataka Golf Association and Bengaluru Golf Association, have also started using Waterful as a welcome drink, gym drink and golfers hydration. Even educational institutions like Orchid International School have recognised the value of offering Waterful natural hydration options to their students instead of the usual sugary and artificial products.

Muyeen Munaver, the tech expert in Waterful’s founding trio, has ensured that the brand’s reach extends beyond traditional retail channels. “We’ve leveraged D2C channels and technology to make our products easily accessible to health-conscious consumers across India,” he explains.

PrathishNair concludes, “We’re inviting people to rethink their hydration habits and choose a smarter, more natural way to supercharge their water.” By addressing the need for enhanced hydration and offering a tasty, wellness-conscious alternative, Waterful is not only filling a market gap but also fighting dehydration and fatigue for countless Indians.

Style Meets Affordability: How Rupesh Tejani’s Sunglassic is Revolutionising Affordable Luxury Eyewear

ST Correspondent — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 13:01:41 +0530

Surat (Gujarat) [India] : In the bustling world of fashion, where luxury often comes with a hefty price tag, one man’s vision changes the game. Rupesh Tejani, the founder of Sunglassic, has embarked on a remarkable journey from a small village in Bhavnagar to the pinnacle of the eyewear industry. His story is not just a personal triumph but reflects the power of democratising luxury.

Mr. Tejani’s path to success began in Varal, a modest village where dreams often seemed as distant as the horizon. After moving to Surat for his secondary education, his entrepreneurial spirit took shape. In 2013, while pursuing his FYBCOM, he started selling sunglasses sourced from local markets, laying the foundation for what would become a revolutionary brand.

In 2019, Rupesh Tejani launched Sunglassic with a clear mission: to offer luxurious sunglasses at affordable prices. “We’re not just selling sunglasses,” the visionary entrepreneur explains. “We’re offering a lifestyle, a statement that says you don’t have to compromise on quality or style to be budget-conscious.”

Sunglassic’s success lies in its unique approach to the eyewear market. By focusing on quality, style, and affordability, the brand has quickly carved out a niche for itself. Every pair of sunglasses comes with UV400 protection, ensuring that style never comes at the cost of eye health. The brand’s dedication to trendy designs keeps it at the forefront of fashion, while its 1-year warranty and easy returns policy reflect its priority to customer satisfaction.

Since its launch, Sunglassic has experienced rapid growth, challenging established norms in the eyewear industry. The global sunglasses market, valued at $16.8 billion in 2021, is expected to reach $27.4 billion by 2028, according to Grand View Research. Sunglassic is well-positioned to capture a significant share of this growth, particularly in the affordable luxury segment.

Mr. Tejani’s vision for Sunglassic extends far beyond its current success. “We’re not just building a brand; we’re creating a movement that proves luxury can be inclusive,” he states. Plans for expansion into new markets and product lines are on the horizon, with the entrepreneur hinting at exciting developments in the coming years.

As Sunglassic continues to grow, it remains true to its founding principle: making luxury accessible to all. Rupesh Tejani’s journey from a small village to the helm of a disruptive eyewear brand is more than just a success story – it’s a blueprint for how vision, determination, and a commitment to inclusivity can reshape an industry.

PropulsionAI: Empowering Enterprises with Custom LLMs in Days, Not Months

ST Correspondent — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 18:14:17 +0530

New Delhi, India, July 17, 2024 : Two visionary entrepreneurs are making waves in the artificial intelligence sector with their innovative platform, PropulsionAI. Harsh Nigam and Rohit Hazra, childhood friends turned tech innovators, have created a solution that allows enterprises to build custom Large Language Models (LLMs) tailored to their unique use cases in a fraction of the time traditionally required.

We sat down with the founders to discuss their journey, challenges, and vision for the future of enterprise AI.

Q1: Your journey from school friends to AI innovators is quite remarkable. Can you tell us about your background, and what led you to create PropulsionAI?

Harsh Nigam: Rohit and I have known each other since 2008, and our shared passion for technology has been the driving force behind our ventures. In 2016, we took our first leap into entrepreneurship by starting a software consultancy company. Over the years, we scaled it to a team of 50, delivered over 100 products, and generated millions in revenue. Eventually, in 2023, we saw the immense potential in AI and decided to take a big bet on it.

Rohit Hazra: That’s right. We wrapped up our consultancy to entirely focus on AI, which led to the creation of PropulsionAI. Our platform enables enterprises to harness the power of generative AI and tailor it to their specific use cases for building AI-powered applications.

Q2: PropulsionAI seems to offer unique capabilities. Can you elaborate on what sets your platform apart?

Rohit: Certainly. PropulsionAI stands out with its 1-click knowledge base creation, brilliant dataset creation and management, robust model training infrastructure, comprehensive model evaluation suite, and scalable deployment options. Our platform allows enterprises to build custom LLMs in days, not months, a game-changer in the industry.

Harsh: Even more exciting is that enterprises using our platform are already achieving better accuracy than GPT-4 and Claude 3.5 Sonnet on their specific use cases with minimal effort. This level of performance and efficiency is what sets us apart.

Q3: When you decided to establish PropulsionAI, what challenges did you face?

Harsh: The transition wasn’t easy. It took us about 4-6 months to wrap everything up. This involved delivering ongoing projects, transferring knowledge and IP to customers, ensuring our team was placed (mostly with customers), and extensive paperwork.

EnglishYaari Makes English Learning Effective and Accessible in India

ST Correspondent — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 18:14:13 +0530

Patna (Bihar) [India] July 17 : Three friends from an engineering college in Bihar – Vikas, Piyush, and Sandeep found themselves united by a common struggle: the fear of speaking English fluently. Even though they had strong technical skills, they needed help to express themselves effectively in English.

“A visit to IIT Kgp’s Tech-Fest Kshitij really highlighted this issue for us,” shared Vikas, co-founder of EnglishYaari. “We met so many inspiring people, but communication barriers limited our interactions.”

It was this encounter that gave rise to the idea of EnglishYaari. They realised this wasn’t just their problem; many people felt held back by a need for more confidence in spoken English. Excellent skills in their respective fields were overshadowed by the fear of being judged. Traditional classroom settings, often crowded and impersonal, didn’t address this need.

“We grew up in an environment where the focus was on secure government jobs,” explained Piyush, another co-founder. “EnglishYaari was born out of our goal to create something special and our desire to break through this communication barrier.”

Launched in 2021, EnglishYaari offers a solution – personalised, live, 1-on-1 online sessions with expert tutors. This approach ensures individual attention, allowing learners to identify their weaknesses and receive real-time feedback in a supportive environment.

“We have over 100+ friendly and certified tutors who tailor the learning experience to each individual’s goals,” says Sandeep, co-founder.

Moreover, EnglishYaari goes a step further by offering several features to enhance learning:

Flexible Scheduling: Book sessions with respect to convenience.
Recorded Sessions: Review past sessions to track progress.
Affordable Pricing: Choose a plan that fits the budget.
Trial Session: Get a taste of the platform before committing.

With over 10,000 learners empowered, EnglishYaari boasts a diverse clientele—bankers, teachers, entrepreneurs, IT professionals, healthcare workers, students, and homemakers. These people frequently credit EnglishYaari for helping them become fluent and confident English speakers, which has improved their careers and overall lives.

EnglishYaari was given an important push in August 2023 by the Bihar government under the Startup Policy 2017. “The seed fund inspired and allowed them to build a strong team, invest in technology, and ultimately enhance the user experience for the learners.”

School ERP is The Backbone of Educational Institutions: Itin Sharma

ST Correspondent — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 12:21:19 +0530

Educational institutions go beyond providing a learning experience; they serve as the pillars of society. However, with this responsibility comes challenges. From handling admissions and enrollments to managing records and tracking attendance, these institutions bear a data burden. According to a survey by the K.D. Technologies, teachers reported that they only spend 43% of their time on teaching; the rest was dedicated to administrative tasks, grading, and reporting. This means that valuable time and effort are being diverted from research and teaching. Therefore, the implementation of technologies like school ERP systems can offer a transformative solution. These systems assist schools and colleges in managing tasks and streamlining processes, ultimately creating an environment that fosters effective learning.

What is a My School ERP System, and Why is it Important?

ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. In educational institutions, this system is designed to maintain records of day-to-day activities and process data. It encompasses features such as attendance tracking, fee records management, exam result publication, admissions management, and so much more. Given that educational institutions accumulate vast amounts of data, it can be challenging to track and manage efficiently. However, ERP systems play a role in integrating departments and functions creating a centralized hub for managing student data, storing resources, and organizing daily activities. These systems automate processes, resulting in enhanced data management, organization, and communication within institutions.

Advantages of Using a School ERP System

Simplified admissions process: By automating tasks, ERP systems significantly reduce the need for manual efforts. Important tasks like student assessments, attendance management, and fee collection are efficiently handled through platforms integrated into the ERP system. As a result, workflows become faster and more efficient as redundant tasks are minimized.
Real-time data accessibility: With a school ERP system in place, all departments gain real-time access to data. This enables faculty members to analyze information for decision-making and planning purposes.
Cost benefits: The automation of tasks leads to improved efficiency within institutions using ERP systems. Consequently, costs can be reduced as funds are no longer allocated towards completing tasks. Moreover, automating procurement processes can result in cost savings related to goods and services. Stats show that a school ERP system can reduce the cost of materials by 80%.
Improved communication and collaboration: Thanks to the nature of ERP systems, educational stakeholders can easily access information, leading to collaboration among educators, administrative staff, parents, and students. Additionally, the built-in communication module within the system makes it effortless for parents and teachers to interact.

Resource management: School ERP systems come equipped with modules that allow for easy tracking of inventory, resource management, and scheduling resource utilization in classrooms. This plays a role in planning resources and swiftly resolving any issues that may arise.
Remote Accessibility: With the popularity of remote learning increasing, having access to educational resources from anywhere is a huge plus. This type of flexibility is possible since the majority of ERP solutions are cloud-based.
Effortless Fee Management

Managing fees and financial transactions becomes a breeze with a School ERP system. Online payment options streamline fee collection, reducing administrative overhead, minimizing errors, and enhancing transparency for both the school and parents.

Parental Involvement

School ERP systems often include parent portals that empower parents to actively participate in their child’s education. They can access grades, assignments, and communicate with teachers, leading to greater parental involvement and support in the learning process.

Custom Reporting

School administrators can harness the power of data with custom reports and analytics. By tailoring reports to specific needs, they gain valuable insights into various aspects of school operations, enabling data-driven decision-making for continuous improvement.

Paperless Administration

By reducing reliance on paper-based processes, School ERP systems contribute to environmental sustainability. This shift not only benefits the planet but also simplifies document retrieval, storage, and archiving for administrators.

Secure Data Management

School ERP systems prioritize data security through robust encryption and access controls. This ensures the protection of sensitive student and school information, keeping it safe from unauthorized access and complying with data protection regulations.

Why is School ERP the Future?

Experts believe that ERP systems represent the future of educational technology for a number of compelling reasons.

Change-Adaptive: Scalable and customized ERP solutions are available today. These systems don’t require a whole revamp in order to adapt when educational trends and requirements change.
Ecologically sound: Digitization lessens the demand for paper, making educational procedures more ecologically sound.
Analytical Insights: ERP systems have analytical capabilities that assist schools in deciphering trends, such as student performance trajectories or regions that require budgetary attention. Making better educated decisions may benefit from this.
Global Trends: As more educational institutions across the world use these solutions, there is a common knowledge base and a cooperative effort to hone and enhance these systems.

Implementation of School ERP Systems

Educational institutions are increasingly adopting school ERP systems due to the streamlined processes and benefits they offer both inside and outside the classroom. For instance, Hans Group of Education, Kotputli successfully implemented MY SCHOOL ERP system to support its financial and HR operations across 8 campuses, creating more simplified systems and better user experience. Another example is Takshila Group oif Institutions, Behror an educational institution consisting of 5 Units. The use of outdated tools had been posing challenges for them until they started using the MY SCHOOL ERP system. With this system in place, they were able to implement an admission process, streamline enrollment procedures, efficiently manage data, and create a hybrid learning environment within their institution. The success stories of these schools and educational institutions demonstrate the trend of using school ERP systems to improve efficiency.

Future Prospects and Innovation

As technology continues to evolve, so do School ERP systems. Innovations such as mobile applications, AI-driven analytics, IoT (Internet of Things) integration for smart classrooms, and virtual learning environments are transforming the educational landscape. At KD Technologies, we are committed to staying at the forefront of these advancements, partnering with educational institutions to tailor solutions that meet their unique needs and propel them towards greater efficiency and excellence.

Conclusion

In conclusion, School ERP systems have revolutionized educational management by centralizing operations, improving communication, empowering data-driven decision making, enhancing parental engagement, and ensuring data security. As the owner of KD Technologies, I am proud to witness the positive impact of our solutions on educational institutions worldwide. By embracing technology responsibly and innovatively, we can create a brighter future where every student has access to a seamless and enriching learning experience.

ES Ranganathan Explains Why Balancing Profitability and Environmental Conservation in the Mining Industry is Important

ST Correspondent — Sat, 22 Jun 2024 13:35:47 +0530

“The balance between profitability and environmental conservation is not just achievable but essential for the mining industry’s future. Automation and precision mining are key methods to reduce waste, optimize resource use, and enhance productivity. These technologies not only mitigate environmental impact but also sustain profitability in mining operations,” says ES Ranganathan.

New Delhi (India) : In today’s mining industry, ensuring both sustainability and profitability through cutting-edge techniques is paramount. ES Ranganathan, former Managing Director of Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), stresses the importance of adopting state-of-the-art methods and technologies for sustainable resource extraction. “Sustainable resource extraction is not just an environmental obligation but a strategic business move,” he asserts. Continuing further, ES Ranganathan explains, “Recent data from a Ministry of Mines press release shows India’s iron ore production increased by 4%, from 25 million metric tonnes (MMT) in April 2023 to 26 MMT in April 2024. Limestone production also grew, reinforcing India’s global rank as the third-largest producer. Additionally, aluminum production rose to 342,000 tonnes in April 2024, up from 339,000 tonnes in April 2023.”

Adoption of Eco-Friendly Mining Practices

For modern mining operations, integrating measures that greatly reduce environmental impact is necessary. According to ES Ranganathan, “Implementing environmentally friendly mining techniques is pivotal for achieving sustainability; Techniques such as water recycling systems, biodegradable chemicals, and dry processing are increasingly favored.” In the long run, these procedures not only lower operating expenses but also safeguard the environment. Additionally, post-mining reforestation and land reclamation initiatives support the industry’s sustainability goals by restoring natural equilibrium.

Ensuring Environmental Responsibilities and Regulatory Compliance

The mining industry prioritizes implementing measures to comply with stringent environmental standards. ES Ranganathan emphasizes, “Adherence to environmental regulations is indispensable for responsible mining, ensuring compliance involves developing robust environmental management systems and conducting regular audits.” Furthermore, adopting best practices in waste management, emission control, and energy conservation strengthens environmental stewardship. By staying proactive in addressing environmental issues and anticipating regulatory developments, mining companies can cultivate a reputation for reliability and ethical integrity in their operations.

Initiatives for Preserving Biodiversity and Engaging the Community

Fostering partnerships and prioritizing biodiversity preservation is crucial for the long-term success of mining operations. “Community engagement and biodiversity preservation are integral to sustainable mining. This practice highlights the dual importance of supporting local communities and preserving natural ecosystems in mining practices,” mentions ES Ranganathan. Understanding and reducing the negative effects that mining operations have on the environment and society can be accomplished through working with local governments, NGOs, and communities. It is crucial to carry out projects like establishing wildlife corridors, safeguarding endangered species, and assisting regional conservation initiatives. Through stakeholder engagement and biodiversity investment, mining firms may guarantee a sustainable legacy and peaceful coexistence with the environment.

Investment Strategies for Responsible Mining Ventures

“It is imperative to consider converting mining equipment to LNG for enhanced sustainability and profitability,” suggests ES Ranganathan. He emphasizes, “The adoption of LNG-powered equipment offers substantial benefits by minimizing emissions and cutting fuel expenses, while also ensuring compliance with global environmental regulations.” This transition towards cleaner technologies not only boosts operational efficiency but also underscores the industry’s commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development. Additionally, investments in green technologies and transparent sustainability reporting can attract eco-conscious investors, further strengthening the company’s market position.

Shaping a Sustainable Future for Mining

In advocating for a balanced approach between environmental preservation and profitability, ES Ranganathan underscores the mining sector’s pivotal role in achieving sustainability. “Sustainability in mining is both complex and achievable,” he states. Mining operations can drive towards a sustainable future through the adoption of advanced extraction methods, integration of eco-friendly practices, adherence to regulatory standards, engagement with local communities, and strategic investments. These proactive measures not only foster industry growth and long-term profitability but also safeguard the environment for future generations.

Ambience Group Owner Explains Why Indian Real Estate Optimism is Soaring to a Decadal High in Q1 2024

ST Correspondent — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 13:06:55 +0530

“A recent report has revealed that optimism among real estate industry stakeholders in India reached a decade-high in the first quarter of 2024,” notes Ambience Group Owner.

New Delhi (India) : The Indian real estate market is experiencing a wave of unprecedented optimism, marking the highest levels of confidence seen in the past decade during the first quarter of 2024. “According to the Knight Frank-NAREDCO Real Estate Sentiment Index Q1 2024 (January–March), the report indicates that the “Current Sentiment Index Score, which measures stakeholders’ outlook compared to the previous six months, hit 72 during this period, marking the highest level in the past ten years,” explains Ambience Group Owner. This surge in confidence is attributed to stable economic fundamentals, continued momentum following the pandemic, and increased transaction volumes.

Economic Stability

One of the primary drivers of this renewed optimism is the steady economic growth that India has been witnessing. “Despite global economic uncertainties, India’s economic fundamentals have remained robust. Government policies aimed at stabilizing and growing the economy have played a crucial role in boosting confidence among real estate stakeholders. “The consistent GDP growth, along with targeted reforms and policy measures, has created a conducive environment for the real estate sector to flourish,” says Group Owner of Ambience.

Increased Investments & Infrastructure Development

The real estate sector has also seen a significant influx of investments, both domestic and foreign. This surge in investment is a clear indicator of the growing confidence in the Indian real estate market. “Major international funds and domestic investors are increasingly looking at Indian real estate as a lucrative investment opportunity. The inflow of capital is a testament to the sector’s potential and the trust investors have in the long-term growth story of India,” explains Ambience Group Owner.

Another critical factor contributing to the optimism is the ongoing infrastructure development across the country. Initiatives such as the Smart Cities Mission and improvements in urban connectivity are transforming the landscape of Indian cities. These projects not only enhance the quality of life but also make real estate in these regions more attractive. Ambience Group Owner notes, “The government’s focus on infrastructure is a game-changer. It is driving real estate demand and significantly improving market sentiment.”

Sustained Growth Predictions

Ambience Group Owner and other analysts are optimistic about sustained growth in the coming quarters. They cite robust economic fundamentals and continued policy support as key reasons for this positive outlook. The combination of economic stability, investor confidence, and infrastructure development is expected to fuel further growth. “The foundations laid in Q1 2024 are strong, and we anticipate a continued upward trajectory for the real estate market,” says Ambience Group Owner.

Moreover, the positive sentiment is not just theoretical but is translating into tangible outcomes. There is an expected increase in project launches and sales volumes throughout 2024. Developers are gearing up to meet the rising demand, and homebuyers are showing a keen interest in new projects. “This trend indicates a healthy market dynamic where supply and demand are both on the rise. We are seeing a surge in new projects, and the market response has been overwhelmingly positive,” Ambience Group Owner mentions. With the solid foundation laid in the first quarter of 2024, the real estate sector is poised for a period of sustained growth. This period promises lucrative opportunities for investors, developers, and homebuyers alike. “The next few years will be transformative for Indian real estate. Those who invest now stand to gain significantly as the market continues to grow,” says Ambience Group Owner.

While summarizing, Ambience Group Promoter mentions, “The Indian real estate market is experiencing a renaissance of sorts, driven by economic stability, increased investments, and extensive infrastructure development. The optimism seen in Q1 2024 is expected to pave the way for continued growth and prosperity in the sector, making it an exciting time for all stakeholders involved.”

Exotic Stones From Royale Impex Take Center Stage in Luxurious Borivali Home

ST Correspondent — Tue, 21 May 2024 17:57:48 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 21: A stunning new home in Borivali West is serving as an example of how design can change a space. Created by Studio Namah, “The Marble Marvel” is a luxurious haven that reflects the homeowner’s love for natural stones and a space that exudes glamour.

The homeowner’s fascination with exotic stones became the central theme of the project. Studio Namah embraced this inspiration, using a variety of colourful and textured stones from the Royale and Earth collection of Royale Impex throughout the 200-square-meter space. This resulted in a visually eye-pleasing home aptly named “The Marble Marvel.”

Translating a Personality into a Home

The homeowner is a diamond merchant and appreciates the beauty of natural stones. Hence they have incorporated exotic natural stones from Royale Impex in their home.

Royale Impex has been a trustworthy name in the marble industry for more than 25 years. In their factory is Silvassa they have more than 300+ varieties of colours in natural stones from 25+ countries across the globe. They specialize in exotic natural stones and stunning white marble.

“The centrepiece of the décor is made up entirely of exotic stones, each one thoughtfully chosen for its own colour and design,” says Namrataa Shetty (Studio Namah), “Walls in key areas, like the living and dining spaces, are adorned in stunning marble from Royale Impex, creating a sense of grandeur.”

Neil Cresto (Studio Namah) added, “To complement these natural stones, Studio Namah incorporated gold-finished accents, including kitchen cabinets, furniture legs, and even a dresser in the master bedroom. This combination of rich textures and materials creates a truly luxurious experience.”

A Guided Tour of Luxury

Entrance: Royale Impex also helps clients customise their marble pieces using CNC techniques. You can see this in the entrance of the home. The wall is covered in black fluted marble, and the stark white doors provide a dramatic contrast. A bright red painting adds an unexpected flash of colour.
Living Room: The custom furniture is set against an exquisite Brazilian stone from the Royale Marble Collection, while a peach couch adds a splash of color to the elegant space. The TV area maintains a monochrome theme, with marble panels and black and white chair upholstery.
Kitchen and Dining Area: The black and gold island kitchen aesthetic connects beautifully to the dining area, highlighted by a green exotic stone and a beautiful Patagonia countertop specifically sourced by Royale Impex for this project. A coffee counter with a marble backsplash and hidden doors offers functionality with style.
Bedrooms: The focal point of the master bedroom is a pillar covered in gold metal mesh and exotic stone. The room is dominated by monochromatic hues with gold highlights, as seen in the poster bed, the pillar, and the opulent metal dresser. A customised onyx basin counter adds a touch of grandeur to the adjoining grey bathroom.
Tailored Comfort: The parents’ room has bright furnishings to counterbalance the muted colours and traditional mouldings that give it a timeless beauty.
A Space for Play: The children’s room, designed for a brother-sister duo, is a space for exploration. The open central space and bunk bed with a basketball hoop encourage activity, while the bright and eclectic colour scheme keeps things playful.
Artful Passage: The bedroom lobby is designed to resemble an art gallery, with personalised paintings and sculptures set in thoughtfully carved niches. This space adds a touch of refinement and artistic flair.

Creating a Private Oasis:

The design team’s biggest challenge was combining several kinds of marble in one space without making them overpowering one another. The team has used Royale Impex’s diverse marble collection to create a cohesive and visually stunning home

Seasoned Crime Fiction Author Kumar Kinshuk Turns a Historic Page with The Indian Emergency

ST Correspondent — Tue, 21 May 2024 14:10:15 +0530

New Delhi [India], May 21 : While mythological fiction is doled out in generous quantities in the Indian publishing scene, it is rare to come across historical fiction, especially if it is set in the recent past. Kumar Kinshuk’s latest novel “The Indian Emergency” is a welcome addition to the latter, dealing with a time that is much too politicized and too less explored from a neutral perspective.

Kinshuk’s latest release takes readers back to a tumultuous period in India’s history—the 1975 Emergency. Set against the backdrop of political upheaval, the novel explores the trials faced by four ordinary men during those challenging times. Today, it’s easy to see how tough times and communal comments can divide people, but in stark contrast, Kumar Kinshuk writes of a time when turbulent events brought people of different social, economic, and religious backgrounds together for a common cause – safeguarding the country’s democratic spirit.

Through vivid storytelling, Kinshuk paints a poignant picture of personal struggles, resilience, and survival. As readers immerse themselves in the lives of the characters, they witness the interplay of power, resistance, and hope. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply love a well-crafted tale, “The Indian Emergency” promises an unforgettable reading experience.

This is not his first rodeo in publishing. The management and marketing professional turned to writing years ago and has penned children’s fiction, mystery, thriller and crime fiction. Avid readers would be aware of his gripping series titled “The Kanke Killings.” Two standout titles from this series are “Ritualistic Murder” and “Two Indian Girls.” These books delve into the dark corners of crime fiction, where detectives unravel puzzling cases, and secrets lurk behind every shadow. Kinshuk’s ability to create compelling characters and maintain suspense throughout the series has garnered him a dedicated fan base.

Beyond his literary pursuits, Kumar Kinshuk expresses his creativity in various forms. His passion for photography and Urdu poetry finds an outlet alongside his writing. In fact, a reader of “The Indian Emergency” can catch a glimpse of his poetry through the words of a character in the book. Additionally, his kitchen garden reflects his love for nature—a refreshing contrast to the dark mysteries he spins in his novels. Based in Kolkata, Kinshuk’s community involvement enriches his storytelling, infusing authenticity into his works. A glimpse of the artist behind the pen can be found on his website.

Kumar Kinshuk’s novels offer a thrilling escape into the world of crime fiction and historical intrigue. Whether you’re solving mysteries alongside detectives or reliving India’s past, his storytelling prowess ensures an enthralling journey for readers. So, grab one of his books and prepare to be captivated!

Portrait Of A Novelist Marked By Twists, Turns And A Tale Of True Perseverance

ST Correspondent — Wed, 08 May 2024 21:19:21 +0530

New Delhi [India], May 8: In a literary journey marked by twists, turns, and unwavering determination, debut author Simran Dudeja unveils her first book, ‘Like A Summer Song,’ a poignant coming-of-age novel that navigates the intricacies of life, love, and self-discovery.

Simran is a fresh voice in the literary scene who commenced her debut work during the challenging days of the 2020 lockdown. She found solace in writing, she started the initial drafts of “Like A Summer Song,” weaving together a whirlwind of emotions and experiences.

Initially set to publish her work in 2021 with a renowned publisher, Simran faced a heartbreaking setback due to creative differences. She momentarily set aside her literary aspirations, embracing 2022 as a year of travel and a pivot in her corporate career from management consulting with BCG to product marketing in tech startups. In 2023, she returned to her manuscript, rewriting sections and initiating conversations with publishers anew. The journey led her to NuVoice Press, guided by her earlier connections within the writing community, including Hubhawks, Kevin, and Vini.

Her path to publication wasn’t without hurdles, she faced a couple of rejections, but she embraced each one as a redirection rather than a setback. The theme of destiny, a prominent theme in her book, mirrored in real life with her unwavering belief in her calling despite obstacles. .

Managing a flourishing corporate career alongside her literary pursuits posed its challenges. Weekends became dedicated writing havens, with some nights transitioning seamlessly from creating presentations for her day job to the creation of captivating prose until midnight. Writing trips, and occasional getaways to scenic locations, provided her with the mental clarity needed for creative exploration while striving for success professionally.

As “Like A Summer Song” finds its space on the shelves and readers’ hearts, Simran is already immersed in her next project, a manuscript delving into the complexities of modern dating, evolving dynamics in relationships, and the pressures faced by today’s women in their pursuit of love and self-discovery.

She aspires to redefine contemporary Indian romance, blend poetry with prose, craft authentic characters, and cater to the Instagram generation craving genuine connections and vulnerability in real life.

“Like a Summer Song” is a book that will tug at your heartstrings, make you reflect on your own journey, and leave you feeling like you just had a cup of hot chocolate in cold weather. Simran’s ability to capture the complexity of human emotions and her skilful storytelling make this debut novel a must-read.

Simran Dudeja is a storyteller and poet who has debuted in the literary scene with her coming of age romance, Like A Summer Song in collaboration with Nu Voice Press. She is an Engineer turned Marketer with diverse corporate experience across Management Consulting and Product Marketing.

Simran is also a Spoken Word poet, a Mental health advocate, and a passionate yoga enthusiast. She talks about books, poetry, spirituality, wellness, growth mindset, and various other concepts that catch her fancy.

Softment Solutions, Transforming Ideas into Today’s Software Solutions

ST Correspondent — Sat, 27 Apr 2024 18:20:49 +0530

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] : The vision behind Softment Solutions Pvt Ltd, an established provider of software development services, came from young tech enthusiast and entrepreneur Vijay Rathore.

Vijay’s fascination with computers began at a young age, fueled by a gift from his father at the age of 11. This early exposure kindled an interest that led him to explore the world of coding and software development. His academic journey in Computer Science further solidified his expertise and directed his entrepreneurial spirit.

Birth of Softment Solutions

The seed for Softment Solutions was planted with a small project: for just 300 INR, Vijay had to build a web view Android app for a client on Facebook. He identified an untapped opportunity in the market where quantity was often at the expense of quality. He envisioned a software development company that would be a shining example of excellence.

Softment’s name, which combines the words “software” and “development,” represents the company’s focus on growing these sectors.

How Vijay Rathore Built Softment Solutions?

Vijay first had trouble finding leads on sites like Fiverr and Upwork due to intense competition and little online visibility. Still, he kept going, intentionally working on large projects at low cost in order to develop a portfolio and establish credibility. This strategy finally became fruitful, as Softment Solutions went on to create apps for well-known customers like Thymbol, HMS Marketing, Centum, Capitol Broadcasting Company, and—most importantly—the Australian Navy.

For Vijay, building a solid team was essential. He was looking for people who shared his commitment, in addition to having technical expertise. The company culture at Softment Solutions is characterised by a relentless pursuit of excellence, where team members are encouraged to take initiative and push the boundaries of creativity. This encourages a culture of professional development and collective dedication to providing exceptional software solutions.

Softment Solutions offers a comprehensive range of services, including Android app development, iOS app development, website development, AI Chatbot integration, Blockchain APIs, and other digital solutions.

By effectively completing projects for a wide range of renowned clients, such as the Australian Navy, My Mink, Darwinning, AirCorp, WRAL News, Butterfish, My Breeders Store, Mind Motivations, and VIP Nashville, Softment Solutions has established a position for itself in the market. This strong portfolio demonstrates the company’s ability to manage a wide range of complex software requirements, enhancing its standing as a leader in both superior quality and modern technology.

Biigbull Financial Services Private Limited Makes Financial Security a Reality for Everyday People

ST Correspondent — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 14:07:06 +0530

Jamshedpur (Jharkhand) [India], April 10: Imagine a world where financial literacy and investment opportunities are no longer reserved for the privileged few. This is the vision that drives Biigbull Financial Services Private Limited, a company built on the remarkable story of its founder, Mr. Raj Kumar Paswan, and his unwavering commitment to financial inclusion. Mr. Paswan’s journey began as an equity dealer, where he witnessed firsthand the exclusion of a vast segment of the population – the lower-middle class – from essential financial services. But instead of accepting the status quo, Paswan became a champion for change. In 2017, he turned his vision into reality with the founding of Biigbull Financial Services Private Limited, a company with a groundbreaking mission: to empower everyday people, particularly those in the lower-middle-class demographic, with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate the financial landscape and build a secure future.

Today, the company caters to a vast client base through an educational approach, breaking down complex financial concepts into easy-to-understand steps. This ensures clients gain the knowledge and confidence to navigate the market for the long haul.

Recognizing that the financial landscape is dynamic, Biigbull doesn’t stand still. In 2023, Biigbull Enterprises was established to cater to the growing demand for unlisted stocks, demonstrating their commitment to staying ahead of the curve. It offers a comprehensive suite of services. This includes expertise in unlisted shares, navigating the intricacies of IEPF Work (handling unclaimed shares), assisting with insurance claim processing, and of course, their core strength – stock market education.

Unlike traditional financial firms that cater to high-net-worth individuals, Biigbull believes financial empowerment shouldn’t be a privilege. Their SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) starts at a bare minimum amount, making investing accessible for even the most modest income earners.

Building upon its success in empowering everyday people with investment opportunities and financial education, Biigbull is poised for exciting growth with the launch of Biigbull Properties in April 2024. Recognizing the importance of comprehensive financial well-being, Biigbull Properties will offer legal and property-related services. Just like its financial services arm, the company will prioritize client education, ensuring individuals have the knowledge they need to make informed decisions in the property market. This expansion signifies Biigbull’s commitment to serving a wider range of financial needs and empowering clients to navigate the complexities of property ownership.

Biigbull Financial Services Private Limited isn’t just a financial institution, it’s a bridge. A bridge from the limitations of the past, where financial knowledge and opportunity were reserved for the privileged few, to a future of democratized finance. Mr. Paswan is working for a future where everyone, regardless of background, can take control of their financial destiny. Biigbull and him aren’t just leading the charge, they’re building the path to a more equitable and empowered tomorrow.
