Virar (Maharashtra) [India], October 23: Homegrown Handmade Brand DhaagaDhari Founded by Antara Pravin Gumgaonkar and co-founded by her sister Kiran Amol Dhakate, DhaagaDhari is preparing to showcase its handmade creations at the Virar Flea Market from October 30 to November 1, 2026.

The brand began on January 26, 2025, with a focus on embroidery and personalized handmade products. Its first creation was an embroidered family photo hoop designed to turn cherished memories into keepsakes. The venture received its first order, for a wedding hoop, just a day after its launch.

As the brand developed, Antara’s sister Kiran joined as co-founder, bringing her expertise in crochet. While Antara focuses on embroidery and personalised creations, Kiran contributes crochet products, bringing their individual skills together under one brand.

Building DhaagaDhari has also involved balancing entrepreneurship with family responsibilities. Antara started the venture when her baby was just nine months old, drawing on her husband’s support while navigating the demands of motherhood and running a business.

The upcoming Virar Flea Market marks an important milestone for the homegrown venture, giving the founders an opportunity to present their work in person, interact with visitors, and connect with customers from Virar and neighbouring areas.

Visitors can explore DhaagaDhari’s handmade creations at Stall B19, located at Yashwant Nagar, Virar West, during the three-day event. The founders hope to introduce more people to their work, which centres on thoughtful gifting, personalised keepsakes, and the creativity of handmade craftsmanship.

Looking ahead, the sisters aim to establish DhaagaDhari as a recognised and trusted handmade brand while retaining the personal touch behind each creation.

From Experiences to Integrated Brand Growth: VMS events, part of VMS Group strengthens its domestic operations, launches a new identity and brings events, activations, technology-led experiences, merchandising and full-funnel marketing under one integrated platform.

New Delhi [India], October 24: VMS Events, part of VMS group, unveils new brand identity, and kicks off major growth initiatives as it expands its capabilities. With the domestic presence now present across 6 cities in India, VMS establishes its first international office in London This transformation reflects VMS Group’s ambition to build a globally connected, integrated marketing organisation capable of supporting brands across markets and touchpoints.

Founded in 2010, VMS events began its journey as an events and experiential marketing company. Over the years, the business and the company presence has steadily expanded beyond traditional events into brand activations, live experiences, technology-enabled engagement, consumer outreach, retail initiatives and integrated campaign execution.

The company has built a diverse portfolio with experiences across all key sectors including technology, Alcobev, FMCG, financial services, automotive & consumer electronics

Its client roster includes leading brands such as HP, Intel, AMD, PepsiCo, ,  HDFC Bank, American Express, Pernod Ricard, Beam Suntory, Diageo, Phillip Morris India, Dabur, Maruti Suzuki Motors, Mankind Pharma, Nestle and many more.

A New Identity for a Broader Vision

The new VMS Events identity has been designed to reflect the organisation’s transformation from an events-led company into a broader integrated marketing and brand-experience business.

The refreshed logo and visual language will be progressively introduced across VMS Group’s companies, offices, digital platforms, corporate communication, marketing assets and client-facing touchpoints.

While the new identity presents a sharper and more contemporary expression of the business, it retains the experience and credibility built by VMS over its journey since 2010.

Pradeep Sharma, Founder and Chairman, VMS Group, said:

“VMS Group represents the next chapter of a journey we began in 2010. What started as an events and experiential business has today evolved into a much broader integrated sales & marketing organisation. Our new name, logo and brand identity reflect not only how far we have come, but also the scale of our ambition for the future.”

He added:

“As we strengthen our domestic presence with larger offices and expanded capabilities across India, our London office marks an important step towards building a stronger international footprint. We are bringing creativity, technology, experiences, merchandising and integrated marketing together under one unified platform so that we can support brands more seamlessly, both in India and across international markets.”

Four Integrated Capabilities Under VMS Events

Under its new identity, VMS Events will bring together four core service areas:

Activations,Events and MICE

Brand activations, corporate events, product launches, conferences, exhibitions, consumer outreach programmes and large-format experiences designed to create meaningful engagement between brands and audiences.

Tech-Led Experiences

Interactive, immersive and technology-enabled solutions that use digital innovation to create stronger and more memorable engagement across physical and digital environments.

Merchandising

Brand merchandise and retail-led solutions designed to extend brand visibility, strengthen consumer connections and create engagement beyond individual campaigns or events.

Full-Funnel Marketing

Integrated marketing solutions spanning strategy, creative communication, campaign execution, consumer engagement and measurable outcomes across different stages of the customer journey.

By bringing these capabilities together, VMS Events aims to provide brands with a more connected operating model that integrates strategy, creativity, technology, production, experiences, retail visibility and marketing execution within one collaborative ecosystem.

Strengthening the Domestic Footprint

Alongside the rebranding of VMS Events, VMS Group is increasing its investments and focus in establishing Buzybug (in house mar tech company) and Gurmyst (sales arm focusing towards SMB and Govt) while strengthening its infrastructure in India through larger offices and expanded operational capabilities The domestic expansion is designed to support the company’s growing team while strengthening its creative, technological and execution capabilities.

The expanded infrastructure will also give VMS Group greater capacity to manage larger and more integrated mandates spanning multiple disciplines, markets and consumer touchpoints.

The company sees India continuing to play a central role in its growth strategy, both as a major market for brand engagement and as an execution and capability hub supporting domestic and international assignments.

London Office Marks VMS Group’s First International Expansion

A key milestone in the company’s transformation is the establishment of its first international office in London.

The London presence will enable VMS Group to explore international partnerships, develop cross-border opportunities and connect the company’s execution capabilities in India with brands and opportunities across the UK and other international markets.

The office is also expected to strengthen VMS Group’s ability to support Indian brands looking to expand internationally, while providing global organisations with access to an experienced marketing and execution partner in India.

Commenting on the international expansion, Pradeep Sharma, Founder and Chairman, VMS Group, said:

“London gives us an important gateway into international markets while allowing us to build on the execution strength we have developed in India. Our objective is to create an organisation that can think globally, collaborate across markets and execute locally with equal strength. As our clients become increasingly international in their outlook, we want VMS Group to be able to grow alongside them.”

Building a Globally Connected Marketing Platform

The transition to VMS Events represents more than a corporate rebranding.

It reflects the company’s broader strategy of creating an integrated platform where multiple marketing disciplines can work together to deliver more consistent and connected brand experiences.

With its strengthened domestic infrastructure, international presence, refreshed brand identity and expanded capabilities, VMS Events intends to increasingly work across mandates that require a combination of experiential marketing, technology, creative execution, merchandising, retail engagement and full-funnel marketing.

By Gurumaa Yogita Khatri | Founder, Nirvana Naturopathy & Retreat, Igatpuri, Nashik

New Delhi [India], October 23: It is 8 pm. You have had a long day, the family is hungry, and nobody wants to spend another hour in the kitchen. Ordering a pizza or burger feels like the easiest option. And why not? It is quick, convenient and tastes good.

The problem begins when an occasional treat becomes an everyday habit.

We often think about food in terms of taste, price and convenience. But how often do we stop and ask what our daily eating habits are doing for our health? We may spend money on supplements and wellness treatments, yet overlook the simple choices we make at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

At Nirvana Naturopathy & Retreat in Igatpuri, Nashik, I believe that understanding food is an important part of understanding health. Healthy living does not require a perfect diet. It starts with making better choices more often.

Let’s be clear: eating a burger or a serving of fries once in a while does not automatically make you unhealthy. What matters is how frequently you eat such foods and what the rest of your diet looks like.

Many fast-food meals are high in salt, added sugar, saturated fat or calories. Some contain very little fibre. When these foods regularly replace fresh vegetables, fruits, pulses and whole grains, our diet can become less balanced.

Over time, a diet high in excess calories, sodium and added sugars can contribute to weight gain, high blood pressure and a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. The effect varies from person to person, and food is only one part of the picture. Genetics, sleep, physical activity and other health factors matter too.

The aim is not to stop enjoying food. It is to make sure convenience does not become the reason we neglect our health.

A Familiar Story in Many Indian Homes

Imagine someone who leaves for work in a hurry, skips breakfast and grabs a samosa or packaged snack when hunger strikes. Lunch comes from a takeaway counter, and dinner is ordered online because cooking feels like too much effort.

One day of eating this way is not the issue. The concern is when the same pattern continues for months, leaving little room for balanced meals.

Now imagine making a few small changes. Carrying a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit, choosing dal and vegetables with lunch, drinking water instead of sugary beverages, or preparing a simple dinner at home a few times a week.

These changes may sound ordinary, but they make balanced eating easier to maintain.

This is the practical side of naturopathy: looking at everyday habits and finding realistic ways to improve them, rather than relying on a quick fix or an extreme diet.

What Does Naturopathy Say About Food?

Naturopathy places importance on nutrition, physical activity, rest and other lifestyle habits that support general wellbeing. Food is not viewed simply as something that fills the stomach; it is also a source of the nutrients our bodies need to function.

A balanced Indian meal can be simple. Dal, roti or rice, seasonal vegetables and curd if suitable can provide a useful mix of nutrients. Fruit, nuts and other nutritious snacks can add variety throughout the day.

Before your next meal, ask yourself three simple questions:

• Have I included a source of protein, such as dal, beans, curd, eggs or another suitable option?

• Am I eating enough vegetables, fruit and other fibre-rich foods?

• Am I choosing this meal because it suits my needs, or simply because it is the quickest option?

You do not need to get every meal right. A healthy eating pattern is built over time, not in a single day.

Five Naturopathy Practices That Can Support Healthy Living

At Nirvana Naturopathy & Retreat, Igatpuri, Nashik, natural wellness can include a range of lifestyle practices and selected therapies, depending on individual needs.

1. Yoga and pranayama: Gentle yoga, stretching and suitable breathing exercises can support flexibility and stress management. They also encourage people to make time for movement instead of spending the entire day sitting. Choose practices appropriate to your fitness and health.

2. Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy uses water at different temperatures and in different applications for therapeutic purposes. Certain methods may promote relaxation or offer temporary relief from discomfort. Treatment should be adapted to individual needs, particularly for people with heart conditions or reduced temperature sensitivity.

3. Mud therapy: Mud packs are used in some naturopathy settings for external applications and relaxation. Clean, properly prepared material is important. Claims that mud therapy removes internal toxins or cures diseases are not well supported by scientific evidence.

4. Nutritional guidance: A balanced diet should fit your health needs, food preferences, budget and daily routine. Nutritional guidance can help people make practical changes without unnecessary restrictions. Those with conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease may need individual advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

5. Lifestyle counselling: Food choices are often influenced by stress, sleep, work schedules and convenience. Looking at these patterns can help people build routines they are more likely to follow. Small, sustainable changes are often more practical than a strict plan that lasts only a few days.

These approaches can support general wellbeing, but they cannot cancel out an unhealthy diet or replace necessary medical treatment.

Try This at Home: Vegetable Moong Dal Chilla

You do not need expensive ingredients or special health foods to prepare a nutritious meal. This simple moong dal chilla is a good option for breakfast or a light meal.

Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow moong dal, soaked for a few hours

• ½ cup finely chopped vegetables, such as carrot, onion and capsicum

• A little grated ginger

• Cumin and salt to taste

• Water as needed

• A small amount of oil for cooking

Method

Drain the soaked dal and blend it with a little water to make a smooth batter. Add the chopped vegetables, ginger, cumin and salt. Heat a lightly oiled pan, spread a ladleful of batter into a thin circle and cook on both sides until done.

Serve with mint chutney or plain curd, if suitable for your diet.

Moong dal provides plant protein, while the vegetables add fibre and variety. It is a simple homemade alternative to frequently relying on packaged snacks or takeaway meals.

There is no need to call it a detox recipe. Our liver and kidneys already perform essential functions involved in processing and eliminating waste. A varied, balanced diet is a more sensible foundation for everyday health than any single miracle food.

You Don’t Have to Give Up Everything You Enjoy

Healthy eating should be realistic. If you enjoy pizza, burgers or your favourite street food, you do not necessarily need to eliminate them completely. Pay attention to portion sizes and frequency, and balance your choices with nutritious meals.

Start with one change this week. Replace a sugary drink with water. Add vegetables to lunch. Carry a healthy snack when you leave home. Cook a simple meal instead of ordering takeaway once or twice more often than you currently do.

If you have diabetes, high blood pressure or another ongoing medical condition, follow your healthcare professional’s advice on diet and treatment. Natural therapies should complement appropriate care, not replace prescribed medicines.

At Nirvana Naturopathy & Retreat, Igatpuri, Nashik, Gurumaa Yogita Khatri encourages a practical approach to natural wellness—one that brings together balanced nutrition, movement, rest and informed health decisions.

Good health is not about eating perfectly every day. It is about making food choices that nourish you more often than they don’t.

Under the leadership of Dr. K. V. Abdul Nazar, Chairman and Managing Director of the Akbar Group, the organisation has continued to expand its international footprint, diversify its services and strengthen its position within the travel industry.

Timefolk Offers Interview Practice, Languages and Newcomer Help From Local Experts

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 23: A language exam next month. A CV nobody has looked at in years. A pitch deck that needs one honest read before Friday. A first week in a new city, and no idea who to ask. Timefolk, which launched publicly on 26 September 2026, helps with all of them, in person.

Timefolk is a marketplace for practical, in-person sessions with local Experts. A Client picks a skill, sees which Experts offer it nearby and schedules a session at a fixed session fee, in a public place. The result is something finished: a rehearsed interview, a corrected CV, a conversation that goes better than the last one, a checklist for a new city.

What a Client can get help with

The skills on Timefolk are deliberately practical, and they fall into a few clear groups.

For careers, there is interview practice, cabin crew interview preparation, CV review and pitch-deck feedback. For languages, there is language conversation and pronunciation, Business English and Arabic for daily life. For people arriving somewhere new, there is newcomer help. For the workplace, there are AI tools for work, with Experts who use them in their own jobs.

Each one starts with a skill, not a profile. Someone preparing for an interview might look for an Expert with hiring experience in their field. Someone who wants to sound more confident in meetings might schedule Business English practice. A newcomer might ask a local how the city actually works, and leave knowing where to start.

What a session looks like

A Client chooses a skill and sees which Experts offer it nearby. Each Expert’s profile shows their profession, years of experience and an ID-verified seal, and Experts can share short skill videos, so the Client can see how they work before they schedule a session. The session fee is fixed and shown before the Client pays.

The Client then schedules and pays in the app. The Expert has 15 minutes to accept, and if they do not, the Client is refunded. Once it is accepted, the session takes place in a public place, always tied to a defined skill and a clear setting. It starts with a rotating QR code, and afterwards both people leave a review.

Every member, Client or Expert, completes a government ID and a liveness check, so a Client knows who they are working with. Sessions always take place in public places such as cafés, libraries and coworking spaces, never in a home, hotel room or vehicle. Timefolk is not a dating or matchmaking service.

The Experts

Experts offer sessions independently and in their own name. Timefolk provides the marketplace, identity verification, payments and platform tools. Experts set their own session fee within their city’s range and keep 80% of it.

They are people who use their skills every working day: professionals who can run interview, CV or pitch-deck practice, fluent speakers who can help with conversation and pronunciation, and long-term residents who can help newcomers find their feet. Timefolk is building around these practitioners first, since Clients need useful sessions to schedule, and Clients can schedule sessions in a city once Experts are available there. A waitlist tells people when Experts arrive near them.

“Useful know-how often sits with people who use it every working day,” said Sattya, Founder of Timefolk. “We built Timefolk so a Client can find the Expert who has done it before, see the session fee and the place in advance, and schedule a session.”

How Timefolk was built

Timefolk began with two observations from Sattya. The first was that useful know-how often sits with practitioners who use it every working day. The second was that AI tools had changed what one founder could take on without a large team.

He built the platform himself, from the first concept to production, using AI tools. AI also supports parts of the company’s day-to-day operations.

Where Timefolk is starting

The initial focus is Dubai and India. Timefolk is available through its website, an iOS app and an Android app, in eight languages: English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Hindi, Portuguese, German and Mandarin Chinese. Payments work in 120 countries.

Iran war fears are back, oil is climbing, and large altcoin holders are moving millions onto exchanges. Traders face another round of watching their portfolios react to headlines from the Middle East. Fresh attacks and fears of wider fighting have kept pressure on energy supplies and hopes of cheaper borrowing.

For investors hunting the next big winner, panic is also a time to look beyond the coins everyone already owns. The early entries behind past meme coin fortunes came before the exchange crowds arrived. AlphaPepe still offers that timing, with more than $3.2 million raised before its first public listing.

Early Holders Take Profits While New Buyers Hunt Their Entry

Lookonchain recently flagged an early Ethereum holder selling after a 128x return. Large Solana holders have also moved millions onto exchanges, while XRP whale deposits have raised concerns about further selling. Those transfers show funds moving into position for trading, rather than confirming every deposit became a sale.

The Ethereum holder’s gains began with an early purchase, years before today’s market. Buyers searching for the best crypto presale right now are hunting their own chance to enter before a project becomes widely known.

AlphaPepe is still at that earlier stage. ALPE is priced at $0.03436, and its first public exchange chart is ahead. Meanwhile, AlphaSwap Early Access is already live.

BNB Had Binance. ALPE Is Building Around AlphaSwap

BNB launched before Binance opened for trading. Its early utility centred on exchange fees and discounts, then expanded across a much larger ecosystem. Early buyers entered before that growth unfolded.

AlphaPepe is pursuing its own exchange-token model. AlphaSwap is live in Early Access, with an ex-Shibarium developer behind the AI DEX. The presale offers entry while the exchange grows and ALPE remains before listing.

Advanced AlphaSwap tools are being built around ALPE-powered access and trading credits. As those tools develop, the token gains a role inside the product. The long-term bet is on traders returning to AlphaSwap and using its token-linked features.

Conversational trading adds another way into that ecosystem, connecting AI requests with token discovery and swap preparation. Auto-Trade registration is already open. AlphaPepe is expanding the exchange before the first wave of public-market buyers arrives.

More than 12,700 holders have joined, with over 100 new holders arriving daily. The community is forming before exchange trading begins, while the raise has passed $3.2 million. Presale buyers are entering during that buildout.

The Fifth Exchange Reveal Is Still Ahead

Four CEX partnerships have already been announced, and the fifth partner will be revealed soon. Binance remains the main name buyers are watching. The next reveal puts another event ahead of ALPE’s first public trading cycle.

A new exchange partner expands the project’s reach. AlphaSwap supplies the longer-term product behind that exposure. AlphaPepe brings both into its presale, giving buyers an entry before the next partner becomes public.

The listing price starts at $0.08, compared with today’s $0.03436 entry. At $0.08, a $1,000 allocation bought at the current price will have a token value of roughly $2,328.

AlphaSwap’s rollout, growing ALPE utility and exchange expansion drive the 100x bull case. At that multiple, a $1,000 entry becomes $100,000 before fees. Achieving it would require substantial growth in adoption, demand and market value after launch.

The presale puts the entry before those milestones. Buyers receive their ALPE immediately after purchase, without waiting for a later claim window. The fifth exchange reveal and first public chart remain ahead.

Fewer Than 40 Bonus Crates Remain

Limited Bonus AlphaLabs is almost gone. Fewer than 40 mystery crates remain, offering up to 300% extra tokens. The final crates add an immediate allocation incentive while ALPE is still available at the current presale price.

Extra tokens increase the allocation without waiting for a market rally. The offer has a visible limit, with the remaining crates running down ahead of the next exchange reveal. Check the qualifying purchase details before completing the buy.

Conclusion

Iran war fears and rising oil prices are keeping traders nervous, while early holders take profits and large altcoin wallets move funds. AlphaPepe offers an earlier entry, with AlphaSwap Early Access live, an ex-Shibarium developer behind the DEX and more than $3.2 million raised.

ALPE remains available at $0.03436 before its first public exchange chart. The fifth partner reveal is approaching, and fewer than 40 bonus crates remain. Visit the official presale and check the remaining AlphaLabs offer before the crates run out.

Bringing together boutique stays, a roastery, Coffee Omakase, food and beverage, Unseen looks beyond the conventional café and hotel.

Panaji (Goa) [India], October 23: Unseen Assagao marks its first anniversary with a proposition that puts coffee at the heart of hospitality, not as an amenity, but as the culture shaping the entire experience. Founded by Gaurav Narang, Founder of Coffee Culture and Unseen, the destination brings together boutique stays, an in-house roastery, Coffee Omakase, food, beverages, design and community.

Over its first year, Unseen Assagao has brought this philosophy to life through a destination that changes character from morning to night while remaining rooted in its neighbourhood. Guests can check in, stop by for coffee, book Omakase or return for dinner, without needing to be overnight visitors. “We never wanted to build a hotel and simply put a great café inside it. The thought behind Unseen was much more fundamental – what happens if coffee becomes the culture from which the entire hospitality experience is created?” said Gaurav Narang, Founder, Coffee Culture and Unseen. “But coffee is ultimately the thread. The larger idea is about slowing down, discovery, people, culture and belonging.”

Assagao’s independent restaurants and cafés, old homes, creative community and slower rhythm made it a deliberate choice for the first Unseen. The property was conceived to participate in the neighbourhood rather than stand apart from it. That relationship with place will guide the brand’s evolution: coffee-led, culture-rooted, design-forward and community-built. The philosophy stays consistent; the architecture, food and programming should reflect each location.

“Assagao is not a design template for every future Unseen. It is the first demonstration of the philosophy,” said Narang. “We want Unseen to travel without becoming generic.”

ThunderBeach LLP, led by Krunal Shah, Nirav Desai and Hitesh Bhanushali, backed the first property and worked alongside Coffee Culture to bring Unseen, Coffee Culture and Uncultured to life in Assagao. Its partnership relates specifically to the Goa destination; the wider brand roadmap remains led by Unseen and Coffee Culture.

“What gave us conviction was that this was never presented as just another hotel,” said Krunal Shah, Partner, ThunderBeach LLP. “What has stood out is how many different relationships people can have with the same destination,” said Nirav Desai, Partner, ThunderBeach LLP.

“The coffee, rooms, food and community do not feel like separate businesses placed next to one another; they belong to the same world,” said Hitesh Bhanushali, Partner, ThunderBeach LLP.

Unseen’s model extends beyond room stays. Specialty coffee, roasting, Coffee Omakase, food and beverages, retail and B2B coffee sit alongside workshops, events, collaborations and private experiences, creating multiple ways to engage with the destination and multiple revenue streams within one hospitality experience.

As Unseen explores opportunities beyond Assagao, its focus is selective, culturally relevant growth rather than identical properties. Future destinations may involve hospitality asset owners, developers and regional partners, with each opportunity shaped by the property, market and local context.

“We are not interested in adding locations simply for the sake of scale. The next Unseen should exist because the place, the asset and the people around it make sense,” said Narang.

The ambition is a collection of distinctive destinations connected by one philosophy: hospitality built around coffee culture, with each neighbourhood shaping its own expression.

The capital will be deployed in phases, supporting content development, cinema infrastructure, music and post-production capabilities. Funds will be allocated in stages, scaling each vertical as it develops.

Founded in 2022 by Sowmay Jain, Upsurge Labs is an innovation lab focused on emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, robotics and biotechnology. Jain is also the co-founder of the decentralised finance platform Fluid and has been recognised on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia and India lists in the Finance & Venture Capital category.

Upsurge Labs’ move into entertainment marks a strategic expansion beyond its deep-tech focus, bringing a technology-led approach to a sector increasingly shaped by new production methods, digital platforms and evolving audience preferences.

Commenting on the launch, Aisurya Mishra, COO of Ninefold Pictures, said the company is building an ecosystem rather than a slate, run with the rigour of a technology company and the instincts of a studio.

Over the next two years, Ninefold Pictures aims to establish a presence across the entire entertainment value chain, bringing content creation, cinema infrastructure, music and post-production together under one roof.

New Delhi [India], October 23: Kyptec LifeStyle®, an Indian consumer audio brand operating under BalaJi MicroTechnologies Pvt. Ltd., part of the B.B. Group of Companies, continues to strengthen its presence in India’s personal audio market through Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Bluetooth Headphones. Designed for consumers who want effective noise cancellation, powerful sound, comfortable listening and reliable battery performance without spending excessively on personal audio, these wireless headphones combine Active Noise Cancellation, 40mm audio drivers, three built in microphones, low latency functionality and up to 35 hours of advertised playtime.

As music, online communication, digital entertainment and mobile connectivity become increasingly important in everyday life, consumers expect headphones that can support several activities without compromising convenience. Buyers exploring Bluetooth headphones often consider sound quality, noise reduction, microphone performance, battery endurance and overall value before making a purchase. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Wireless Headphones bring these features together in a lightweight over ear design intended for music enthusiasts, students, working professionals, commuters and everyday listeners.

With consumers becoming more conscious of both functionality and affordability, Kyptec LifeStyle® continues to focus on providing practical audio technology within an accessible product range. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Headphones reflect this approach by combining modern wireless features, premium bass reproduction and everyday listening comfort in a product that addresses the requirements of consumers seeking a balance between performance and price.

Active Noise Cancellation for Comfortable Everyday Listening

Background noise can make it difficult to enjoy music, follow conversations or concentrate on spoken content, particularly when listening in busy households, offices, public transportation and shared spaces. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Bluetooth Headphones incorporate Active Noise Cancellation technology designed to reduce selected external sounds and create a more focused personal listening experience.

For consumers considering noise cancelling headphones, the ability to manage surrounding distractions while maintaining sound quality is an important consideration. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Wireless Headphones combine ANC functionality with an over ear design, providing a practical listening option for individuals who prefer greater sound isolation and comfortable everyday wear.

Active Noise Cancellation works by detecting external sounds through microphones and generating an opposing audio signal to reduce certain unwanted frequencies. Unlike passive noise isolation, which depends primarily on the headphone’s physical construction and ear cushion seal, ANC electronically manages selected background noise. Its effectiveness varies according to the surrounding environment, noise frequency and headphone fit.

Whether listening to music during a commute, following an audiobook at home or watching entertainment in a shared environment, Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Headphones are designed to help reduce distractions. The technology adds convenience for consumers seeking wireless audio devices that support more enjoyable listening during routine daily activities.

Powerful 40mm Audio Drivers for Premium Deep Bass and Rich Sound

Sound reproduction remains one of the most important factors influencing the selection of personal audio products. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Headphones incorporate large 40mm audio drivers designed to deliver premium deep bass, clear vocals and engaging sound across different music genres and entertainment applications.

The driver configuration supports listeners who enjoy energetic music, strong rhythmic elements and impactful low frequency reproduction. From Bollywood music and contemporary pop to electronic tracks, podcasts and cinematic entertainment, Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Bluetooth Headphones are positioned to provide an immersive audio experience while maintaining the convenience of wireless connectivity.

Consumers comparing over ear headphones often consider the overall balance between bass performance, vocal presentation, listening comfort and sound reproduction. Although driver diameter alone does not determine complete audio quality, the 40mm configuration is an important element of the product’s sound design. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Wireless Headphones combine these drivers with ANC technology and comfortable construction to support enjoyable listening across different types of content.

For individuals seeking bass headphones for everyday entertainment, the listening experience involves more than volume alone. The ability to appreciate musical detail, hear spoken content clearly and enjoy longer listening sessions contributes to the overall value of personal audio equipment. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Headphones bring these considerations together through their sound focused design and practical wireless functionality.

Three Built In Microphones for Clear Calling and Communication

Wireless headphones are increasingly used for professional communication, online learning, personal conversations and everyday telephone calls. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Wireless Headphones incorporate a triple microphone configuration intended to support voice pickup and calling clarity across different everyday environments.

The three built in microphones complement the product’s sound reproduction and noise reduction capabilities, allowing users to switch between music, phone calls and online communication without requiring a separate audio accessory. This versatility is useful for students attending virtual classes, professionals participating in online meetings and individuals who regularly make hands free calls while managing daily activities.

For consumers researching Bluetooth headphones with mic functionality, voice clarity remains an important factor alongside comfort, wireless connectivity and battery performance. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Bluetooth Headphones combine their microphone arrangement with convenient wireless operation, making them relevant for listeners who want a single audio product for entertainment and communication.

Actual call performance depends on surrounding noise, microphone positioning, network conditions and the communication application being used. Nevertheless, the triple microphone configuration provides an important feature for consumers seeking practical everyday calling capabilities alongside music playback.

Up to 35 Hours of Battery Life for Extended Wireless Listening

Battery endurance plays an important role in the convenience of modern personal audio devices. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Headphones offer up to 35 hours of advertised playtime, helping consumers enjoy music, communication and entertainment without the need for frequent charging during routine usage.

The product also features an approximately 2.5 hour charging time, allowing users to replenish the battery between work activities, travel plans and entertainment sessions. Extended playback can be particularly useful for commuters, students and working professionals who regularly use wireless audio throughout the day.

Consumers looking for wireless headphones with long battery life often evaluate how easily a product fits into their daily routine. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Wireless Headphones combine their advertised battery performance with Active Noise Cancellation, 40mm drivers and comfortable over ear construction, providing a practical balance between listening features and convenience.

Actual playback duration varies according to listening volume, ANC settings, calling activity and operating conditions. The stated battery performance represents the product’s advertised maximum under suitable usage conditions rather than a guaranteed duration in every listening environment.

Low Latency Audio for Music, Movies and Gaming

Audio timing becomes particularly important when watching films, streaming videos or participating in interactive entertainment. Noticeable differences between on screen activity and corresponding sounds can affect the listening experience, especially during fast moving content and mobile gaming.

Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Bluetooth Headphones incorporate low latency functionality intended to reduce the delay between compatible video content and audio playback. This feature supports consumers who frequently use their smartphones, tablets or laptops for entertainment and prefer closer coordination between picture and sound.

For individuals comparing wireless gaming headphones, the combination of audio timing, sound performance and wearing comfort can influence the overall experience. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Headphones bring together low latency connectivity, premium bass characteristics and larger audio drivers, making them suitable for casual gaming, video streaming and multimedia entertainment.

Actual latency depends on the connected device, application, wireless conditions and supported operating modes. The headphones are designed to support different entertainment preferences rather than being limited to gaming alone.

Lightweight Over Ear Design and Convenient Connectivity

Comfort and portability remain important considerations for consumers who regularly wear headphones during extended listening sessions. Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Wireless Headphones feature a lightweight over ear design intended to provide comfortable listening while remaining convenient for daily use and travel.

Their construction offers an alternative to compact earbuds for consumers who prefer larger ear cushions and an enclosed audio experience. The headphones are suitable for everyday activities including listening to music at home, participating in online communication, watching films and carrying personal audio during commuting.

Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Bluetooth Headphones support connectivity with compatible smartphones, tablets, laptops and other Bluetooth enabled devices, with an advertised wireless transmission range of up to 10 metres under suitable conditions. An auxiliary cable is also supplied, providing an additional wired connection option for compatible audio equipment.

As consumers increasingly use headphones across different daily activities, the combination of wireless convenience, portable construction, comfortable wearability and practical connectivity contributes to the product’s everyday usability.

Strengthening the KyptecLifeStyle® Wireless Audio Portfolio

Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Headphones form an important part of the brand’s established personal audio portfolio, which includes additional wireless headphones and true wireless earbuds addressing different listening preferences. The model focuses on accessible ANC functionality, premium bass, triple microphone communication, low latency performance and extended playback for consumers seeking practical features at a competitive price.

Under the leadership of Nitin Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CEO, and Sweta Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CMO, Kyptec LifeStyle® continues to develop its identity around contemporary technology, consumer requirements, product functionality and long term business development. Supported by BalaJi MicroTechnologies Pvt. Ltd. and the wider B.B. Group of Companies, the brand remains focused on strengthening its presence in India’s competitive consumer electronics market.

Through Kyptec LifeStyle® 650 Bluetooth Headphones, the company reinforces its commitment to making useful audio technology accessible to a wider range of consumers. The product reflects the brand’s understanding that everyday listeners value clear communication, engaging sound, noise cancellation, comfortable design and dependable wireless performance when choosing personal audio products.

Los Angeles (California) [USA], October 23: Dr. Shobha Mahesh MD, a general physician based in Los Angeles, California, has earned recognition at Mrs Universe USA 2027, organised by MyDreamTVUSA. She secured the title of Mrs Classic Los Angeles Universe USA 2027, along with the positions of Second Runner-Up at Mrs Classic Universe USA 2027 and Second Runner-Up at Mrs Worldwide Popular 2027 by MyDreamTVUSA.

Beyond her achievements in the pageant world, Dr. Shobha’s journey is a powerful story of resilience, gratitude, and determination. As a medical professional, mother of two daughters, and fashion enthusiast, she represents a woman who continues to pursue her dreams while using her platform to advocate for causes that can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

A Journey of Resilience, Hope and Gratitude

For Dr. Shobha, the crowns represent far more than recognition on a global stage. Two years ago, a stranger’s generosity helped save her life, giving her a second chance and a renewed sense of purpose. Still on her healing journey, she has chosen to transform her personal experience into an opportunity to raise awareness about blood cancer, survivorship, and the importance of voluntary donation.

She expresses profound gratitude to modern medicine and the selfless donor whose generosity became a turning point in her life. Her experience has strengthened her belief that compassion, scientific progress, and the kindness of strangers can create extraordinary miracles.

Dr. Shobha also credits her husband and two daughters for being her constant source of strength. Her extended family, friends, relatives, and community members stood firmly beside her throughout her journey. Support and votes came from across the globe, with a particularly emotional contribution from friends and family in her hometown of Mandya, Karnataka.

Many people made personal sacrifices, dedicating their time and resources to support her participation. Their faith in her became a powerful motivation, reminding her that her achievement was not just an individual accomplishment but also a reflection of the collective encouragement of those who believed in her.

Championing Blood Cancer Awareness and Stem Cell Donation

One of Dr. Shobha’s foremost goals is to use her pageant titles to promote awareness of blood cancer, survivorship, and the importance of blood, platelet, and blood stem cell donation.

She hopes to encourage more healthy individuals to consider becoming potential stem cell donors, helping patients who may be waiting for a suitable match. She also supports DATRI Blood Stem Cell Donors Registry, an organisation working to connect blood stem cell donors with patients in need of transplants.

Through awareness initiatives and public engagement, Dr. Shobha aims to encourage more people, particularly in India, to learn about stem cell donation and consider registering as voluntary donors. She believes that even a simple act, such as completing a cheek-swab sample for donor registration, can become a life-changing opportunity for someone awaiting a compatible donor.

Her message is deeply personal: a stranger helped give her a second chance at life, and she now hopes to inspire others to become that second chance for someone else.

Breaking Barriers Through Medicine and Fashion

Dr. Shobha’s journey also challenges conventional expectations about women’s identities and ambitions. As a doctor, mother, and runway enthusiast, she believes women should never have to choose between professional responsibilities, family life, and personal passions.

Coming from Mandya, a small town in Karnataka, she attributes much of her outlook to her upbringing by her paternal aunt, who taught her that a person’s starting point does not determine their destination.

Through her participation in Mrs Universe USA 2027, she hopes to encourage women to pursue their aspirations regardless of age, physical challenges, or societal expectations. She wants women to recognise that intelligence and creativity, ambition and compassion, and professional achievement and personal expression can coexist.

As a mother of two daughters, she is particularly passionate about creating a future in which girls grow up confident in their abilities and feel empowered to explore multiple interests without limiting themselves to a single role.

A Message of Empowerment and Mutual Support

Dr. Shobha believes that women empowering women is essential to building a more inclusive and supportive society. Her message encourages women to pursue education, build careers, nurture families, express themselves through fashion, and follow their dreams while celebrating the achievements of others.

For her, a crown is not a finish line but a microphone—a platform to amplify important causes, share experiences, and inspire meaningful change.

Honesty remains one of the core values guiding her journey. She hopes to use her titles not merely for personal recognition but as an opportunity to serve others, promote kindness, and encourage people to support one another through life’s challenges.

Grateful to MyDreamTVUSA

Expressing her gratitude to the MyDreamTVUSA team, Dr. Shobha acknowledged the support and encouragement she received throughout the pageant journey. She appreciated the organisation’s emphasis on self-care, personal development, and uplifting fellow contestants.

She particularly recognised Rashmi Bedi, CEO of MyDreamTVUSA, for fostering a welcoming environment in which contestants felt valued and supported. According to Dr. Shobha, the experience extended beyond stage training and competition, helping participants build confidence and develop a stronger sense of solidarity.

She expressed her desire to remain connected with the MyDreamTVUSA community, continue growing within the platform, and contribute to its efforts to empower women.

Looking Ahead

With three significant pageant recognitions, Dr. Shobha Mahesh MD is looking ahead to a future that brings together medicine, fashion, advocacy, and women’s empowerment.

Her story reflects the belief that life’s most difficult experiences can inspire a renewed purpose. Through her work as a physician and her growing presence in the pageant industry, she hopes to raise awareness about blood cancer and stem cell donation, encourage women to pursue their ambitions, and remind people of the power of compassion.

For Dr. Shobha, the true value of a title lies not only in the honour it brings but also in the lives it may help touch. Guided by gratitude and a commitment to service, she hopes her journey will inspire others to believe in second chances, stand by one another, and turn personal miracles into hope for the world.

New Delhi [India], October 23: Investors who repay loans smoothly usually do a few things well: they know where the repayment money will come from, borrow less than their limit, pay on dates that match their income and keep cash aside for bad months. These habits matter even more when you back your loan with your own investments.

Say you have taken a loan against your mutual funds to pay a hospital bill or your child’s college fees. The money came quickly, and your units were not sold. Now the real work begins: paying it back without stress, without extra interest and without putting your portfolio at risk. The habits below help you do exactly that.

Know Where The Repayment Money Will Come From

Before you borrow, be clear about which money will pay the loan back. It could be your monthly salary, an annual bonus, an FD that matures soon or payments due from clients. Write it down along with the rough date you expect it. If you cannot point to a clear source, you may be borrowing more than you can comfortably repay. This one step also helps you decide the right loan amount and how long you will need it.

What this means for you: A loan with a known repayment source is a short-term tool. One without it can quietly become a long-term debt.

Borrow Less Than Your Full Limit

When your investments are the security, a little extra room can help protect you from market swings.

Lenders usually allow you to borrow around 50% of the value of equity funds and more against debt funds.

It’s tempting to take the full amount, but if markets fall, your limit shrinks while your dues stay the same. Using only part of your limit gives your portfolio space to move without trouble.

What this means for you: Borrowing less today lowers your interest and reduces the chance of a margin call later.

Match Payment Dates To Your Income

A repayment is easy to make when the money has just come into your account. Many investors take a loan against mutual funds as an overdraft, where there is no fixed EMI. That flexibility helps, but it also makes it easy to delay. Set yourself a fixed amount to repay a few days after your salary arrives and use an auto-debit so it happens without reminders.

What this means for you: A fixed habit keeps a flexible loan from dragging on longer than planned.

Keep A Separate Emergency Fund

Your emergency money should never be the same money you have pledged. Pledged units cannot be sold until the loan is cleared. So if your income stops for a while or a new expense comes up, you need cash that is free to use.

Three to six months of expenses, including loan repayments, kept in a savings account or liquid fund, is a sensible target. Build it slowly; small monthly amounts add up.

What this means for you: A free cash buffer means one difficult month does not turn into missed payments or a fresh loan.

Decide What To Do with Your SIPs

Investors often wonder whether to keep their SIPs running while repaying a loan. If your repayments fit easily into your budget, continue your SIPs. Stopping them breaks the habit of saving, which is hard to restart.

If money is tight, pause or reduce SIPs for a few months instead of redeeming existing units. Restart them once the loan is cleared.

What this means for you: A short pause in new investing is far less costly than selling what you have already built.

Check Your Portfolio When Markets Fall

A loan against investments needs a little more attention than a normal loan. When markets drop sharply, open your loan account and check how close you are to the lender’s limit. If you are near it, repay a small amount or pledge a few more units before the lender asks. Acting early is calmer and cheaper than reacting to a margin call with a short deadline.

What this means for you: A five-minute check during volatile weeks can save you from a forced sale of your units.

Put Windfalls Towards The Loan

One-time money is the fastest way to bring your balance down. These sums often get spent without much thought:

●      Annual bonuses

●      Income tax refunds

●      Maturity money from FDs or RDs

●      Payments from a side business or freelance work

Using even part of them to repay the loan reduces the amount on which interest is charged. Overdraft-style loans usually have no prepayment charges, but check your loan terms first.

What this means for you: Every part payment shortens the loan and frees your pledged units sooner.

Final Thoughts

Repaying a loan well is less about how much you earn and more about the habits you follow. Know your repayment source, borrow with room to spare, pay on fixed dates, keep emergency cash separate and watch your portfolio when markets move. Follow these steps, and your loan stays a short-term help rather than a long-term burden.

Global iGaming company 1xBet has announced a partnership with Romario Shepherd, a West Indies international and a notable bowling all-rounder in modern cricket. In the 2026 IPL, he made a valuable contribution with bat and ball for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. RCB defeated Gujarat Titans in the final to win their second consecutive IPL title, with Shepherd part of that successful campaign.

Next up for him is the 2026 edition of the International League T20 (ILT20), where he will play for MI Emirates. The franchise has already named him among its pre-auction signings for the tournament’s fifth season.

As part of their partnership, 1xBet and Romario Shepherd will release a range of exclusive content under the slogan “The game is live. Join it.” Fans can also look forward to special offers, including the chance to win official merchandise.

Romario’s explosive playing style inspired 1xBet to launch this ambitious collaboration. Shepherd is known for his impact in T20 cricket, particularly at crucial moments in a match. He has been described in the media as “the most dangerous class of T20 finishers.” No matter the score, the suspense lasts until Sheppy has had his say with the bat. His performances produce some of the season’s most spectacular highlights, keep fans watching until the very end, and encourage young people to play cricket.

“We were looking for an ambassador who reflects the character of our audience. Our users love to be right in the thick of the action, following every change, judging the moment, and making decisions here and now.

So it was important to find not just a famous athlete, but someone for whom that pace is a way of life. Romario was a natural choice. His playing style, his ability to assess a situation quickly, and his instinct for the right moment to act reflect exactly what we wanted to convey through this concept. For us, this really is the perfect match,” said a 1xBet representative.

A finisher doesn’t control the entire match — his strength lies in quickly assessing the situation, adapting to conditions on the field, and seizing the opportunity to secure victory for his team.

“When 1xBet representatives first told me about the partnership idea and what their users experience while playing, I found myself thinking, ‘That’s me.’ I immediately pictured myself on the field: the pressure, waiting for the right moment, having to read the game quickly and make a decision right then and there.

In cricket, you never know what will happen in the next few seconds. A single ball can change everything, so you have to stay fully focused, read the situation, and be ready to act when an opportunity comes. When you step onto the field, you’re not just watching the game — you become part of it. That’s exactly why this idea means so much to me. I told the 1xBet team straightaway that I was in, because this partnership reflects our shared experience and approach to playing. I’m excited to be part of it and to share this message with fans: ‘The game is live. Join it,’” said Romario Shepherd.

“Proud to officially join the 1xBet family as a brand ambassador!” Sheppy announced the partnership to his followers in an Instagram reels.

Content and special offers from 1xBet x Romario Shepherd will provide a new way to connect with cricket fans and make their experience even more exciting. Follow 1xBet and Romario Shepherd on social media so you don’t miss the launch.

The game is live. Join it.

Blum’s AVENTOS HF top

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 22: Wall cabinets are a staple in homes everywhere, providing essential storage we rely on daily. For decades, standard hinges have been the go-to hardware choice, doing the basic job of attaching the door to the cabinet carcass and managing the opening and closing movement. However, contemporary design requires storage to perform far beyond the basics. Modern wall cabinets must elevate day-to-day usability while opening up new avenues for versatility and design freedom.

Blum’s AVENTOS HF top is a lift system engineered specifically for high and mid bi-fold wall cabinets. Installers can use Blum’s AVENTOS bi-fold lift system for wall cabinets across kitchens, bedrooms, or alternative living zones. It redefines how clients use their cabinetry because the front folds and glides upward completely out of the way. The front stays open exactly where they leave it and closing up the cabinet becomes effortless with integrated BLUMOTION that ensures soft and quiet motion. While the soft-close mechanism comes built-in, you can also pair the lift system with Blum’s SERVO-DRIVE for easy, single-touch opening, which is perfect if you want to specify completely handleless fronts.

This Blum AVENTOS HF top lift system works with cabinet heights from 480 to 1200 mm and tracking widths out to 1800 mm. Carcass planning just requires 264 mm of internal depth. Low ceilings or tight bulkheads are not a problem either, because a built-in opening angle stop keeps the bi-fold lift-up mechanism from swinging too high. This setup blocks the front from smacking into the ceiling, saving the paintwork and the wood from getting scuffed over time. You can also use AVENTOS HF top for worktop-mounted applications.

Architects and manufacturers can implement a diverse array of door materials for installations using this bi-fold lift-up. Options span from traditional wooden fronts and aluminium-framed profiles to combining two entirely different materials across the two-part front. It even accommodates bold, asymmetric front configurations for standout stylistic accents. The sleek cover caps for AVENTOS HF top come in silk white, light grey, and dark grey, providing sophisticated colour variations that match different cabinet finishes. Blum has engineered the entire lift system to ensure straightforward installation and simple adjustments, streamlining the setup process across all home environments.

Choosing this premium bi-fold lift-up system gives cabinetry layouts clean lines alongside reliable, long-term operation. Blum tests these lift systems to handle more than 80,000 opening and closing cycles. To make sure the hardware stands up to years of daily use, it undergoes strict physical checks for static loads, lateral stability, and sudden slamming. This unhindered, user-friendly movement ensures your clients get standard-setting functionality, while you enjoy the flexibility to present your wall cabinets with complete creative and stylistic control.

Proprietary five-layer framework redefines AI agent trust across behaviour, orchestration, performance, experience, and business outcomes

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], October 22: CRMIT Solutions, a Decision Intelligence and Agentic AI company, today announced the launch of its Agentic Assurance Model, a proprietary five-layer framework designed to help enterprises assess whether AI agents are ready to operate reliably across real-world business processes.

As AI agents take on greater responsibility across customer interactions, enterprise systems and business workflows, it is no longer enough to know whether an agent produces the right answer. Enterprises also need confidence that it takes the right actions, works correctly across connected systems, performs at a sustainable cost, handles unexpected situations appropriately, and continues to deliver the intended business outcome over time.

CRMIT’s Agentic Assurance Model treats trust as something an agent must earn at every layer of its operation, not only at the level of output accuracy. It evaluates AI agents across five dimensions: Behaviour, Orchestration, Performance, Experience, and Outcomes & Monitoring.

The Behaviour layer assesses whether an agent acts as intended and can explain its decisions, while Orchestration examines how reliably it works across connected systems and handoffs. Performance looks at reliability and cost-efficiency at scale, Experience evaluates the quality of interactions for customers and employees, and Outcomes & Monitoring checks whether the agent continues to meet defined success metrics once in production. The model can be applied across the agent lifecycle, from design and development to production and continuous monitoring.

“AI agents are increasingly moving from providing information to making decisions and taking actions on behalf of organisations,” said Vinod Narapa Reddy, Founder & CEO, CRMIT Solutions. “That means enterprises need to ask a much broader question than whether the technology works. They need to know whether they can rely on an agent the way they would rely on any critical part of their business.”

Unlike conventional testing approaches that focus primarily on functional accuracy, CRMIT’s model looks at how an agent behaves in real operating conditions. It also helps enterprises identify the areas of highest business risk and determine which assurance layers require greater scrutiny depending on the industry, process and operating environment.

CRMIT has refined the approach through deployments across public sector, healthcare, logistics and federal government environments. In one public-sector deployment, the framework was used to improve how an AI agent classified citizen enquiries, retrieved information, formulated responses and determined when human intervention was required. The solution delivered 50–80% time savings on manual information lookups, while enabling response drafts to be used with minimal human editing.

The Agentic Assurance Model also complements CRMIT’s broader Data-to-Decision approach, which connects data, intelligence, decisions, actions and business outcomes. As AI agents increasingly move from generating insights to taking autonomous actions, the framework provides enterprises with an additional layer of assurance around that transition.

“Trust in an AI agent can’t stop at whether it gives the right answer,” said Saurabh Gupta, Chief Innovation Officer, CRMIT Solutions. “It has to extend to how the agent behaves and explains itself, how it works across systems, what it costs to run, the experience it delivers, and whether it keeps meeting its success metrics in production. Our goal is to build that trust into how agents are designed and deployed, not assess it after problems emerge.”

About CRMIT Solutions

CRMIT Solutions is a Bengaluru-headquartered technology and Decision Intelligence transformation company that helps enterprises turn data into decisions and decisions into action. Founded in 2003, CRMIT is a solutions-led organisation with over 1,000 projects delivered, characterised by long-term customer retention and recurring revenue models. The company serves customers across the United States, ANZ, Asia and Europe, with offices in Bengaluru and Jaipur in India, Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, and Atlanta and Milpitas in the United States.

Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], October 22: As businesses increasingly adopt digital systems to improve efficiency and manage complex operations, Seereon Consulting & IT Services Private Limited is focusing on a practical approach to software development that places business processes at the centre of technology planning. Based in Bharatpur, Bhubaneswar, the company provides custom software development and SAP consulting services to organizations in India and international markets.

Founded by Santosh Kumar Nayak and Sarasweta Patra, Seereon works with growing businesses and educational institutions to replace manual activities and disconnected tools with digital systems designed around their operational requirements.

A Business-First Approach to Software Development

Seereon’s development philosophy begins with understanding how an organization works before designing its software. Rather than focusing exclusively on technical features, the company examines existing workflows, operational challenges, and the information teams need to perform their responsibilities effectively.

This approach is supported by more than two decades of enterprise SAP experience. The company’s understanding of business processes helps inform the design of software that fits organizational requirements and supports practical adoption.

For businesses dealing with multiple departments, complicated workflows, or disconnected systems, customized software can provide a way to bring operations into a more organized digital environment. Seereon aims to develop solutions that address specific challenges instead of requiring businesses to adapt their entire working model to a generic application.

A Significant Achievement in Enterprise Software

One of Seereon’s notable achievements involved replacing a global client’s expensive E2open tool with a custom-built solution. According to the company, the project delivered an estimated return on investment of approximately $1 million over five years.

The outcome demonstrates how customized technology can create financial value when it is aligned with a client’s operational requirements. By building a solution around the client’s needs, the company helped provide an alternative to an expensive existing tool.

This project reflects Seereon’s broader focus on delivering software that contributes to measurable business outcomes. The company believes technology investments should be evaluated not only through implementation costs but also through their long-term operational and financial benefits.

Improving Sales Operations Through Custom CRM

Seereon also develops software to support customer management and sales processes. One example is its custom CRM solution for Digitalratha, which reportedly increased the client’s sales closing rate by 27%.

Customer relationship management systems can help organizations maintain better visibility into customer interactions, sales activities, and follow-up processes. A customized CRM can further address the specific ways a business manages leads and coordinates its sales team.

The Digitalratha project illustrates Seereon’s focus on solving practical business problems through purpose-built software.

Expanding Its Own Technology Portfolio

Alongside its consulting and development services, Seereon is expanding its portfolio of proprietary products.

SeerHR is a human resource management system intended to support employee-related processes. The company aims to expand the platform and reach more than 100,000 employees by 2031.

EdureoneCampus is an AI-powered, end-to-end school ERP designed to support educational institutions with connected academic and administrative operations. Seereon has secured a multi-campus ERP contract with Mother’s Public School, with the implementation scheduled to go live in October 2026. The company aims to reach more than 100,000 students through EdureoneCampus by 2029.

SeerOS is designed for C-suite executives and business leaders who need a consolidated view of productivity, delivery, and revenue bottlenecks. It aims to help management teams identify areas where business processes may be slowing down.

New Solutions for Specialized Industries

Seereon is also developing MineReon, an end-to-end mining ERP that will cover production, dispatch, and compliance workflows. The product is intended to address the connected operational requirements of businesses in the mining sector.

In addition, the company is designing an inventory management product for Indian manufacturers. This initiative reflects its continued focus on developing software that addresses industry-specific processes and operational needs.

Building Technology Around Business Needs

As organizations continue to modernize their operations, Seereon aims to combine enterprise consulting experience with custom development and focused software products. Its approach emphasizes understanding business requirements, improving workflow visibility, and developing systems that teams can use effectively.

With its growing product portfolio and ongoing development initiatives, Seereon Consulting & IT Services Private Limited is working to support businesses and institutions as they move toward more connected and organized digital operations.

About Seereon Consulting & IT Services Private Limited

Seereon Consulting & IT Services Private Limited is a software development and IT consulting company based in Bharatpur, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Its services include custom software development and SAP consulting. Its products include SeerHR, EdureoneCampus, and SeerOS, while MineReon and an inventory management solution are in development.

Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], October 22: As travellers increasingly look for convenient ways to organize their holidays, personalized travel planning is becoming an important part of the travel industry. From choosing destinations and arranging accommodation to managing transportation and developing itineraries, a well-planned journey can help travellers make better use of their time and budget. Bhubaneswar Travel Mart is focused on addressing these needs through customized travel solutions and customer-oriented services.

Led by CEO Prakash Samal, Bhubaneswar Travel Mart is a travel agency based in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The company provides domestic and international tour packages, customized holiday planning, hotel bookings, flight ticket reservations, and travel assistance. Its approach centers on understanding individual customer requirements and helping travellers find options that align with their interests, schedules, and budgets.

Customized Experiences for Different Travellers

Every traveller has different expectations from a holiday. Families may prioritize convenience and comfortable accommodation, couples may seek opportunities to spend quality time together, and groups of friends may prefer destinations that offer sightseeing and shared activities. Corporate travellers and individuals also have specific requirements depending on the purpose and duration of their journeys.

Bhubaneswar Travel Mart aims to accommodate these differences by offering personalized guidance and flexible travel planning. The company works with customers to understand their preferences and help them explore suitable destinations, accommodation options, transportation arrangements, and itineraries.

Rather than approaching every journey in the same way, the company focuses on identifying what matters most to each customer. This allows travellers to consider available options according to their own priorities and make decisions that suit their circumstances.

Bringing Travel Arrangements Together

Planning a holiday can involve multiple tasks, including booking flights, selecting hotels, organizing local activities, and coordinating travel schedules.

Prague [Czech Republic], October 22: Prague’s contribution to international cinema extends well beyond the historic streets and architectural landmarks that appear on screen. Behind the cameras is an established network of studios, technicians, equipment suppliers, production specialists and educational institutions that supports filmmaking as both a creative activity and an economic enterprise. The Czech capital has spent decades developing this ecosystem, combining its filmmaking heritage with the infrastructure and expertise needed to accommodate productions from different parts of the world.

What makes Prague particularly interesting is the relationship between its creative resources and its production capabilities. The city offers historical locations alongside contemporary urban environments, established studio facilities and experienced local crews. International filmmakers can draw on these resources while working within a country that has continued to develop its audiovisual production policies. For institutions such as Prague Film School, this environment also creates opportunities to connect practical filmmaking education with the demands of a working production city.

A Century of Filmmaking Created the Foundation

Prague’s position in international filmmaking did not emerge overnight. The Czech Republic has a filmmaking tradition stretching back more than a century, with the development of production facilities, technical expertise and creative talent contributing to an established screen industry. Barrandov Studios, founded in the early 1930s, became an important part of this history and remains closely associated with the country’s filmmaking identity.

The city’s architecture has also played an important role in attracting productions. Medieval streets, Baroque buildings, historic squares and varied urban neighbourhoods provide filmmakers with locations suited to different stories and periods. Productions including Casino Royale, Mission: Impossible and The Bourne Identity have used Prague or other Czech locations, demonstrating the country’s established presence in international filmmaking.

However, attractive locations alone cannot sustain a production industry. Filmmakers also require equipment, trained crews, production management, costumes, props, sound services and post-production capabilities. Over time, Prague’s combination of physical infrastructure and professional expertise has helped establish an environment in which these different requirements can be addressed within a connected production ecosystem.

The Business Behind Every Film Production

Film production is often discussed through directors, actors and box-office performance, but the activity behind a completed film involves a much wider range of businesses. A production requires location management, transport, accommodation, equipment rental, set construction, lighting, sound recording, costumes, catering and numerous other services. Each department brings together people and organisations whose work supports the creative process.

This is one reason film production has economic significance beyond the entertainment industry itself. Spending on a film can reach suppliers and service providers that are not exclusively associated with cinema. A production may need vehicles, construction materials, hospitality services or specialist technical equipment, creating commercial activity across several sectors.

Prague’s established filmmaking infrastructure provides a useful example of how these relationships develop. Production companies can draw on specialised services and local expertise rather than assembling every element of a project independently. For smaller productions, access to an existing network can also make planning and execution more manageable, although costs and availability will naturally depend on the requirements of each project.

How Production Incentives Support International Filmmaking

Public policy has become another important element of the Czech Republic’s audiovisual environment. Film incentives are designed to encourage qualifying productions to undertake eligible expenditure within the country, helping support local production activity and the businesses connected to it.

Under the Czech production incentive framework applicable in 2026, qualifying feature films, fictional series and documentaries can receive incentives equivalent to 25% of eligible Czech expenditure. Qualifying animation and digital production projects can receive 35%, subject to programme requirements. The maximum incentive is CZK 450 million per project.

The framework reflects reforms introduced in 2025 and further adjustments implemented in 2026, including provisions for documentary series and revised eligibility requirements. These measures form part of the country’s wider approach to maintaining a competitive audiovisual production environment.

The significance of such incentives extends beyond attracting individual projects. When productions use local crews, facilities and services, they create demand within the domestic filmmaking ecosystem. Nevertheless, incentives alone do not determine where a project is made. Creative requirements, location suitability, professional expertise, infrastructure and overall production costs remain important considerations.

Film Education Forms Part of the Creative Economy

A sustainable filmmaking environment depends not only on infrastructure and production investment but also on people who understand how productions operate. Directors, cinematographers, editors, actors, sound professionals and production crews need opportunities to develop their skills through practical experience.

This is where institutions such as Prague Film School contribute to the city’s wider creative environment. Founded in 2004, the school provides accelerated, practical training in filmmaking, documentary production and acting for film. Its English-language programmes attract students from more than 30 countries annually, bringing together different creative traditions and approaches to storytelling.

The school follows a deliberately small educational model, with an emphasis on access to teachers, professional equipment and production opportunities. Students in its filmmaking programme study screenwriting, directing, cinematography and post-production while participating in practical film projects. Rather than treating production as an activity reserved for the end of a course, the curriculum incorporates filmmaking throughout the learning process.

For students arriving from overseas, Prague becomes more than the city in which they attend classes. Its locations, professional resources and established filmmaking culture provide a setting in which they can apply technical knowledge, develop creative judgement and understand the collaborative nature of production.

Connecting Students With a Working Production Ecosystem

One of the practical advantages of studying filmmaking in an established production city is the availability of resources beyond the institution itself. Film students need locations, performers, costumes, props and specialist services, many of which require coordination with organisations outside their classrooms.

Prague Film School’s production office assists students with arranging locations, actors and other production requirements. The school has developed relationships with local organisations and production-service providers, including arrangements that support access to filming locations and selected professional resources.

Its connections include Barrandov Studios’ costume department, through which students can access discounted costume and prop services. The school also provides professional camera, lighting, sound and post-production equipment, including ARRI, RED, Blackmagic and Sony systems, alongside editing and sound facilities.

These resources matter because filmmaking requires more than understanding how individual equipment works. Students must learn to organise shoots, communicate with collaborators, solve production problems and complete projects within practical constraints. Exposure to these responsibilities helps connect creative ambition with the organisational demands of filmmaking.

International Students Add Another Dimension

The international character of film education also contributes to Prague’s creative environment. At Prague Film School, students arrive from more than 30 countries each year, creating opportunities for people with different cultural backgrounds and filmmaking influences to work together.

This diversity has practical significance. Filmmaking requires collaboration, and international crews must communicate ideas, negotiate creative differences and develop a shared understanding of the story they are producing. Students encounter approaches to performance, narrative and visual storytelling that may differ from those familiar to them.

For Indian students and other international applicants, an English-language filmmaking programme in Prague provides an opportunity to study within a European production environment while working alongside classmates from several countries. Such experiences can broaden professional perspectives, although individual career outcomes depend on the work and opportunities that follow graduation.

The connections developed during film education can also extend beyond a student’s time at school. As graduates pursue careers in different countries and production roles, they become part of international professional networks through which creative collaborations may develop.

As AI-written summaries answer more questions on the results page itself, Indian businesses are finding that ranking well and being chosen are no longer the same thing.

New Delhi [India], October 22: Picture a procurement manager in Pune who needs a new packaging supplier. Two years ago she would have typed three words into Google, opened five tabs and compared. Today she is just as likely to type, or speak, a full question: which suppliers near Pune make food-grade corrugated boxes with short lead times?

What comes back often begins with a written answer, not a list of links. A few company names appear in it. Most do not. By the time she opens a website, if she opens one at all, her shortlist already exists.

This is the quiet change in how businesses get found, and most owners have not adjusted for it.

The click is getting rarer

The clearest measurement so far comes from the Pew Research Center, which tracked the browsing of 900 American adults in March 2025. When a Google results page carried an AI summary, people clicked a regular search result on 8% of visits. Without a summary, the figure was 15%. Links inside the summary itself were clicked about 1% of the time, and roughly a quarter of those sessions ended right there.

Google disputes the methodology, and the data is American. But the direction is hard to argue with, and India is not a bystander. Google brought AI Mode, its conversational search experience, to Indian users in June 2025, and within months extended it to seven more Indian languages. The company has described India as its largest user base in the world for voice and visual search. Add the people who now put buying questions to ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity directly, and a meaningful share of research happens in places where no website is visited.

For a business owner, the consequence is simple. The first impression is increasingly a sentence written by a machine, and the business has no direct control over that sentence.

What businesses are getting wrong

The common reaction is to treat this as a new trick to buy. Agencies have been quick to offer “AI SEO” packages, usually with a promise of placement that nobody can honestly make. No one outside these companies can guarantee what an AI system will say.

The second mistake is to look at the old scoreboard. A business can hold its rankings, see traffic fall, and conclude that its SEO has failed, when in fact the same number of buyers are forming a view of it without visiting. The reverse is also true. A report can show healthy traffic while the company is absent from the answers that matter.

The third mistake is the oldest one: a website that says very little. Pages full of phrases like “end-to-end solutions” and “customer-centric approach” were always weak. Now they are also unreadable to the systems doing the summarising, because there is nothing specific in them to extract.

What a machine needs from a business

AI systems put answers together from material they can read and from sources they have reason to trust. That points to three practical requirements.

The first is specifics. What exactly does the company make or do, for whom, in which cities, at what minimum order, with what turnaround? A page that answers real buyer questions in plain sentences gives a summarising system something to work with.

The second is a site that can be read at all. Many business websites assemble their content in the visitor’s browser using scripts. A person sees a finished page. A number of the automated systems that read the web see far less, sometimes an almost empty one. This is a build decision, and most owners never learn it was made.

The third is what others say. In Pew’s analysis, the sources cited most often in AI summaries were Wikipedia, YouTube and Reddit: third-party sites, not company pages. For a mid-sized business, the equivalent is a consistent presence across directory listings, its Google Business Profile, trade publications, reviews and industry forums. If the address, services and name differ from one listing to the next, a system weighing those sources has less reason to mention the company.

“Most of what helps here is not new. It is the unglamorous work businesses have postponed for years: saying clearly what you do, keeping your details consistent, and building a site that loads as real content. What has changed is the cost of skipping it,” says Ayaz Sayed, founder of Mumbai-based digital agency AdFox Media.

Fewer visitors, later in the decision

There is a second-order effect that deserves more attention. If research happens before the visit, the people who do arrive are further along. They are not browsing. They are checking.

That changes the job of a website. Its task is no longer to persuade a stranger from scratch. It is to confirm a decision that is half made: show the proof, answer the remaining doubt, and make the next step obvious. Sites built as brochures, with a slideshow at the top and a contact form buried three pages deep, are poorly suited to that visitor.

Five checks any business can run this week

1. Ask an AI assistant the question your best customer would ask, in their words, and see who is named. Repeat it for your category in your city.
2. Read your own service pages and count the concrete facts: locations, capacities, timelines, prices or ranges, sectors served.
3. Search your company name and compare the address, phone number and description across every listing that appears.
4. Ask whoever built your website whether the main content is present in the page source, or only appears after scripts run.
5. Add “how did you first hear about us?” to your enquiry process. Analytics tools will not capture a recommendation made inside a chat window.

None of this guarantees a mention. It does improve the odds, and it improves the business’s standing with human readers as well.

Search is not going away, and neither are websites. But the order of events has changed. For a growing number of purchases, the opinion now comes first and the visit second. Businesses that keep preparing only for the visit are preparing for the second half of the conversation.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 21: DIP Market and Red Lions Capital concluded their four-city Private Frontiers knowledge series, which drew more than 350 attendees, including leading wealth managers, private bankers, HNIs and UHNIs. The series highlighted the growing interest among Indian family offices, wealth managers and professional investors in accessing global private markets through globally regulated investment structures.

Held across Kolkata, Bengaluru, New Delhi and Mumbai from October 13 to 16, the invite- only series focused on international portfolio diversification, private equity, venture capital, private credit and opportunities in high-growth companies before public listings. The discussions come as India expanding private wealth base drives interest in global alternative investments. Preqin forecasts that global alternative assets under management will reach $32 trillion by 2030.

A central theme was the need to move beyond conventional domestic investment portfolios towards geographically diversified allocations. The discussions examined the role of institutional research, investment structuring and due diligence in evaluating global private-market opportunities, alongside risks related to valuations, currency movements, liquidity and exits.

The series also explored regulatory pathways for overseas investments, including India & Liberalised Remittance Scheme and GIFT City & International Financial Services Centre, and the importance of aligning investment structures with applicable regulations and investor eligibility.

Speaking on the discussion Mr. Saikat Kumar, Managing Partner & CEO, DIP Market, Board Member, Red Lions Capital said “As Indian wealth grows, the conversation is shifting from domestic portfolio expansion to global asset allocation. Investors are looking for differentiated opportunities, but access alone is not enough. Institutional research, appropriate investment structures and disciplined execution will be critical to building sustainable international exposure.”

Mr. Deepankar Panigrahi, Head of Global Private Equity at a Sovereign Wealth Fund, GCC said; “Private equity has been a key part of the asset allocation for institutional investors the last few years and now increasingly for family offices and HNIs. Events like Knowledge series help bridge the gap in investor understanding and give them the confidence to take the leap.”

Ms. Gayatri Sarkar, CEO, .Advaita Capital, USA said “India will drive roughly 17% of global GDP growth this year, yet attracted only $36B in PE-VC in 2025, making it ONE OF THE MOST the most under-capitalized growth engine in the world for the physical AI and sovereign infrastructure stack. In my view, the gap between India macroeconomic growth and the pace of private capital formation is worth close attention. DIP knowledge series will be the inflection point to bring attention to areas such as energy, compute, and physical infrastructure may present long-term opportunities for disciplined, research-driven investors.”

Red Lions Capital provides global investment research, sourcing and private-market expertise, with a presence in Abu Dhabi Global Market. DIP Market operates an India-facing business-to-business platform connecting wealth management partners with international investment opportunities.

New Delhi [India], October 21: India’s solar story is shifting. While the initial boom was defined by massive ground-mounted solar parks, the current wave of growth is far more diversified. The market is rapidly expanding into rooftop installations, commercial and industrial (C&I) projects, hybrid setups, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and decentralized off-grid applications.

Official data from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) highlights this momentum: India’s cumulative solar capacity reached 168.04 GW as of August 31, 2026. This breakdown includes 123.99 GW of ground-mounted projects, 32.59 GW of grid-connected rooftop solar, 4.83 GW in hybrid projects, and 6.63 GW of off-grid capacity. Between April and August 2026 alone, the country added 17.78 GW, proving that execution pace remains high across the board.

Rooftop Solar Emerges as a Core Engine

Once a secondary segment, rooftop solar has turned into a major growth driver for renewable EPC providers, propelled by aggressive residential and industrial adoption.

Policy backing under the “PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana” has added significant momentum. As of July 2026, nearly 39.72 lakh rooftop systems covering 48.03 lakh households have been deployed. With an overarching target of 75 lakh households, the program opens up a multi-year pipeline for regional EPC players and distributed-energy specialists. This shift is also encouraging flexible deployment formats, including RESCO and utility-led aggregation models backed by easier financing terms.

Solar EPC Market Expands Across Applications

As India’s solar capacity expands, the opportunity for EPC companies is increasingly moving beyond conventional large-scale solar parks. Projects now require greater capabilities across engineering, procurement, construction, grid connectivity, commissioning, energy storage and long-term operations and maintenance.

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) continues to issue tenders for large solar projects as well as solar-plus-storage developments. Recent tenders include 700 MW of ISTS-connected solar PV projects, alongside projects integrating solar generation with battery energy storage.

The changing project landscape indicates that the solar EPC industry is transitioning towards more integrated solutions where execution capability, project management, procurement efficiency and long-term asset performance are becoming increasingly important.

Energy Storage Adds a New Dimension to Solar Growth

With solar generation concentrated during daylight hours, battery energy storage is becoming increasingly important for balancing generation and demand.

SECI has been progressing standalone battery energy storage as well as solar-plus-BESS projects, including a recently tendered 70 MW solar PV project paired with 25 MW/50 MWh of battery energy storage in Andhra Pradesh.

The increasing adoption of storage is expected to create new opportunities for EPC companies capable of integrating solar generation, battery systems, power management and grid infrastructure into a single project solution.

Decentralised Solar Solutions Expand the Addressable Market

The growth opportunity is also extending into decentralised applications such as solar street lighting, solar home and utility solutions, solar water-management systems, solar pumps and other off-grid renewable-energy applications.

These solutions can play an important role in rural and semi-urban areas, where decentralised systems can address lighting, water and energy requirements while reducing dependence on conventional grid infrastructure.

This segment is expected to gain further momentum as governments, municipalities, institutions and private consumers increasingly focus on energy efficiency and clean-energy adoption.

Trom Industries Strengthens Position in India’s Solar EPC Ecosystem

Against this rapidly expanding sector backdrop, Trom Industries Limited has established a growing presence in India’s solar EPC market, with project execution and operations spanning multiple regions and applications.

The company has deployed more than 100 MW of high-efficiency solar modules and has executed over 60 MW of solar EPC projects, demonstrating its execution capabilities across the solar value chain.

Trom Industries is providing reliable and efficient O&M services, ensuring smooth project operations while strengthening long-term customer relationships.

The company has achieved more than 540 MW of total commissioned capacity across India, reflecting its expanding footprint in the country’s renewable-energy infrastructure.

Trom Industries also maintains a strong presence across Gujarat and Maharashtra, two important markets for India’s distributed and commercial solar ecosystem.

Rooftop Solar Orders Under PM Surya Ghar Strengthen Growth Visibility

The rapid growth of India’s rooftop solar market is also reflected in Trom Industries’ recent business momentum.

The company has secured multiple rooftop solar orders aggregating 42 MW under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, positioning it to participate in one of India’s most rapidly expanding distributed-solar programmes.

The rooftop opportunity is particularly significant because the market combines government policy support with growing consumer demand, creating a sizable pipeline for qualified EPC companies with installation and execution capabilities.

Business Scale and Order Book Reflect Strong Project Momentum

Trom Industries has also crossed ₹100 crore in revenue, marking an important milestone in its growth trajectory.

The company currently holds a robust order book exceeding ₹200 crore, providing visibility over future project execution and reflecting continued demand for its solar EPC and related renewable-energy solutions.

The combination of a strong order pipeline, completed installations, O&M contracts and participation in the PM Surya Ghar programme provides the company with exposure to multiple segments of India’s expanding solar ecosystem.

Domestic Manufacturing and Supply-Chain Development

India is simultaneously strengthening its domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem. The government’s Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM), domestic-content requirements and continuing investment in module and cell manufacturing are supporting the development of a more integrated domestic value chain.

For EPC companies, this environment places greater emphasis on procurement planning, supply-chain management, product quality, compliance and execution efficiency.

New Opportunities in Agrivoltaics and Renewable Infrastructure

Emerging applications such as Agrivoltaics or Agri-PV, which combine agricultural activity with solar generation, are also attracting greater attention.

SECI has recently invited proposals for pilot Agri-PV projects, highlighting the industry’s search for innovative models to utilise land efficiently while increasing renewable-energy generation.

At the same time, increasing electricity demand, growing renewable penetration and the need for reliable peak power are expected to support investment across solar generation, transmission, energy storage and distributed renewable-energy infrastructure.

Outlook

India’s solar market is consequently moving from a phase focused primarily on adding generation capacity to one centred around integrated, reliable and flexible renewable-energy solutions.

The opportunity is expanding across utility-scale solar, rooftop systems, C&I projects, solar-plus-storage, hybrid renewable projects, solar street lighting, solar home and utility solutions, solar water management and other decentralised applications.

With India’s solar capacity already exceeding 168 GW, continued rooftop adoption, a growing energy-storage pipeline and strong policy support, the structural growth opportunity for the solar EPC industry remains significant.

New Delhi [India], October 21: Fairglobe Infra Private Limited has commenced its journey in the real estate advisory sector with the incorporation of the company and the establishment of its first office in Gurugram, Haryana. Founded by real estate strategist Sourabh Jain, the company aims to provide tailored property advisory services to high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), ultra-high-net-worth individuals (Ultra-HNIs), family offices, industrialists, corporate leaders, and non-resident Indian (NRI) investors across Delhi-NCR.

With its focus on research-led property evaluation and personalised guidance, Fairglobe Infra seeks to help clients assess premium real estate opportunities according to their individual financial objectives, investment horizons, and property preferences. Its guiding philosophy, “Assets. Insight. Access.”, reflects its intention to combine property opportunities with market knowledge and client-focused advisory services.

As Gurugram continues to attract attention from luxury homebuyers and property investors, making informed decisions about high-value real estate requires consideration of multiple factors. These include location, developer credibility, infrastructure development, project specifications, rental potential, documentation, and possible resale opportunities. Fairglobe Infra aims to bring a structured approach to these considerations.

Combining Developer Relationships with Market Research

Fairglobe Infra Private Limited focuses on property opportunities across luxury residential, commercial, retail, and strategic land segments. Its stated developer relationships include DLF, M3M India, Emaar India, Godrej Properties, and Elan Group, providing a range of developments for clients to explore, subject to project availability and applicable arrangements.

The company’s advisory approach emphasises evaluating the suitability of individual properties rather than relying exclusively on developer reputation or promotional claims. Factors such as project progress, applicable approvals, surrounding infrastructure, property specifications, ownership requirements, and future market demand can all influence a purchase decision.

Fairglobe Infra also aims to help clients understand the differences between residential property ownership, commercial real estate investment, and strategic land acquisition. Each category involves distinct financial considerations, ownership responsibilities, and risk factors.

Evaluating Gurugram’s Key Real Estate Corridors

Location-specific research is an important part of the company’s advisory framework. Fairglobe Infra focuses on prominent real estate micro-markets, including Golf Course Road, Golf Course Extension Road, Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), Dwarka Expressway, and New Gurugram.

These areas offer different property formats and market characteristics. Buyers may consider established premium residential locations, contemporary housing developments, commercial spaces, or properties in developing infrastructure corridors, depending on their requirements.

The company aims to assess relevant factors such as connectivity, nearby employment centres, development activity, prevailing property prices, rental demand, and applicable regulatory requirements. This approach is intended to help clients compare opportunities more systematically while recognising that capital appreciation and rental returns are not guaranteed.

A Bespoke Approach to Different Investment Objectives

Fairglobe Infra’s advisory activities cover four principal areas: luxury residential properties, Grade-A commercial and retail assets, growth-corridor investment opportunities, and strategic land acquisitions.

For residential buyers, the company aims to assist in evaluating premium apartments, larger family residences, penthouses, and branded residential developments. Commercial property assessments may include office spaces, retail assets, lease arrangements, occupancy, and rental sustainability.

For investors considering developing corridors, the advisory process can include reviewing infrastructure developments, connectivity, project progress, and potential resale demand. Strategic land transactions require additional attention to land title, permitted use, approvals, access, and development feasibility.

The objective is to help clients assess property opportunities in the context of their financial goals rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach.

Leadership Focused on Informed Decisions

Under the leadership of founder Sourabh Jain, Fairglobe Infra Private Limited aims to build long-term client relationships through personalised guidance and an emphasis on informed decision-making.

“Every investor approaches real estate with different priorities, whether the objective is acquiring a family residence, evaluating commercial income, or considering a long-term land opportunity. Our aim is to understand those objectives, assess relevant market and property fundamentals, and help clients make decisions with greater clarity,” said Sourabh Jain, Founder of Fairglobe Infra Private Limited.

Establishing a Foundation in Delhi-NCR

The establishment of its first office in Gurugram marks the beginning of Fairglobe Infra Private Limited’s operations in the real estate advisory sector. With Gurugram and Delhi-NCR as its initial focus markets, the company aims to develop its advisory practice around market research, client requirements, and property-specific evaluation.

Looking ahead, Fairglobe Infra intends to explore opportunities in other major Indian property markets, including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Goa, while developing advisory connections for NRIs and international clients interested in Indian real estate.

Through its focus on research, transparency, and personalised guidance, Fairglobe Infra Private Limited seeks to establish a considered approach to luxury property advisory and investment planning.

New Delhi [India], October 21: With the festive season approaching, kitchens across India are preparing for increased cooking and meal preparation. From slicing vegetables and fruits to preparing meat and other ingredients, a good-quality kitchen knife can make everyday kitchen work easier. KAI India, the Indian subsidiary of Japan’s leading kitchen and beauty tools brand KAI, offers the Shun Sora Santoku Knife, a high-performance kitchen essential known for its sharpness, strength and precision. With its versatile functionality and reliable performance, the knife is a valuable addition to every modern kitchen.

Designed for slicing, dicing and mincing, the Shun Sora Santoku Knife helps users cut vegetables, fruits, meat and other ingredients with greater precision. The hollow-ground indentations along the blade help food release more easily during cutting, reducing sticking and making preparation smoother.

The knife features a composite blade with a high-performance VG10 cutting core and a Japanese 420J stainless steel upper layer. Enriched with vanadium and cobalt, VG10 steel is known for its strength, hardness and ability to retain its edge over time. The blade is hand-sharpened to a precise 16-degree angle to support clean and accurate cutting, while the polymer blend handle offers a comfortable and secure grip during use.

“Festive cooking brings increased activity into the kitchen, and having the right knife can make the process more convenient. In Japan, a blade is more than a tool; it represents a long-standing tradition of craftsmanship. The Shun Sora Santoku Knife reflects KAI’s commitment to bringing together this heritage with thoughtful design and modern technology. Our aim is to offer Indian consumers reliable kitchen tools that support their everyday cooking needs,” said Chandan Biswal, Head of Marketing and E-commerce, KAI India.

Japanese blade-making has a long-standing history, from renowned samurai swords to contemporary culinary cutlery. Seki City has been at the heart of Japan’s cutlery industry since the 13th century and continues to be known for its blade-making heritage. KAI, the maker of Shun fine cutlery, was founded in Seki in 1908.

New Delhi [India], October 21: Celebrating the indomitable spirit of ‘Jeetne ka DUM’, Sonalika Tractors has created a new world record by etching the largest inscription of Hindi word ‘दम’ into the earth. Using its renowned and future ready Gold series tractors, India’s No. 1 tractor export brand Sonalika ploughed the inscription measuring 125 feet in height, 272 feet in width and spanning 34,000 square feet in an agri field in Sikandrabad, Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. For farmers, DUM is the strength to begin each season with hope and this inspired Sonalika to take an everyday symbol of determination and give it an extraordinary form on the very soil where it comes alive. 

Sonalika Gold Series tractors is the latest innovative tractor series by Sonalika that developed at its World’s No.1 integrated tractor manufacturing plant that is powered by robots and automation for high quality tractors. To achieve the record feat, two Dumdaar tractors were used – Sonalika Gold DI 745 III and Sonalika Gold DI 55 III. Both tractors were paired together with 10-foot rotavators to demonstrate immense power and capability in the field. The Sonalika Gold Series boasts features such as the biggest 3-cylinder 3532cc E3.5 engine in its class, multi-speed driveline (16F+4R/12F+3R), and Jet Line hand throttle technology.

Today, we are proud to have given it a scale that has earned a place in the world record books. What fills me with deeper pride is that we created this record on the very soil where our purpose comes alive every day. The largest inscription of the Hindi word ‘दम’ into an agricultural field in Uttar Pradesh is a reflection of our Gold series DUM.

The Pune firm, registered in 2021, helps investors and families recover old shares and dividends. It says it has now helped recover more than ₹150 crore.

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], October 21: Most financial firms compete for fresh money. Clearclaim Ventures Pvt. Ltd. works with money that already exists but has lost track of its owner. The Pune company helps investors and families recover old shares, unclaimed dividends and related assets, and it has built that work into a business with a defined set of services, three co-founders and a client base it puts in the hundreds.

A market created by unclaimed dividends

The opportunity comes from how Indian company law treats dormant holdings. Under Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, shares on which dividends stay unpaid or unclaimed for seven consecutive years must be transferred by the company to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF), which the Central Government established. The holdings are not lost for good. Any person whose shares or dividends have been transferred can apply to the IEPF Authority through the online Form IEPF-5, and the application is then verified with the company concerned.

The pool is large. Business Today reported in April 2026 that nearly ₹2.2 lakh crore of unclaimed financial assets sits across banks, provident funds, insurers and market investments as of December 2025, including ₹89,004 crore in equity shares and dividends held by the IEPF Authority. A second report in the same publication counted those shares across 1,671 companies.

Claiming is mostly a documentation exercise. The work can involve tracing shareholder records, establishing succession, completing paperwork and, in many cases, converting paper shares into demat form before an IEPF claim is filed. That is the gap Clearclaim has chosen to fill.

Seven services, one common thread

The company’s profile lists seven services: recovery of old shares and dividends, IEPF claims, duplicate certificates for lost or forgotten shares, transfer of shares after a shareholder’s death, conversion of physical shares to demat form, provident fund transfers, withdrawals and claims, and nominee claims on bank accounts, lockers, mutual funds and insurance. Each deals with an asset that its owner, or the owner’s family, can no longer easily reach.

Leadership and structure

Shrikant Pandore, co-founder and chief executive, sets the company’s strategic direction and oversees its operations and resources. Co-founder and chief operating officer Hardik Manek heads the operations team and handles the day-to-day processing of claims.

The profile also names a qualified team of twenty-five professionals and an advisory group drawn from accounting, law, banking, investing and technology.

“Our goal is to take a very complicated process and make it simple for investors,” Shrikant says.

Mr. Hardik Manek Co- Founder of Clearclaim describes the operating priority in similar terms. “Our focus is on customer success,” he says. “Maintaining transparency and efficiency builds trust with clients who come to us after years of confusion and frustration.”

The company says it uses artificial intelligence across claim processing, gives clients a written service agreement on stamp paper and offers a full refund if a claim is not settled. These are the company’s own descriptions of its terms.

Scale and results

The company’s 2024 profile reported work with more than 300 companies, more than 500 clients and more than 1,000 DEMAT and IEPF claims filed, with over ₹50 crore of shares and dividends recovered. In a statement issued in September 2026, Pandore said the firm had assisted 1250+ of clients and helped recover more than ₹150 crore. Both sets of figures come from the company.

What comes next

Clearclaim says it documents each recovery from start to finish and runs awareness work on the fraud risks that surround unclaimed assets. It also says it plans to expand that awareness work, engage with financial institutions and use technology to make the recovery process more transparent.

The market it serves is still growing. The Business Today analysis said the number of shares held by the IEPF has risen about 17 percent a year, and their value about 26 percent a year. For a company whose raw material is dormant wealth, that is the number that matters most.

Vatsa Capital Venture Pvt. Ltd. is acting as the sole book-running lead manager for the issue, while Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is acting as the Registrar to the Issue.

FarmSanta by NutriSource Opens a New Chapter in Agriculture Through Digital Technology

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], October 21: With the aim of making digital technology more accessible, effective and affordable for agriculture and rural livelihoods, FarmSanta by NutriSource was officially launched at a grand event held at Novotel, Kolkata. Built around the vision of “Digital Empowerment of Agriculture & Rural Livelihoods,” FarmSanta aims to create a comprehensive digital ecosystem supporting farmers throughout their farming journey, from soil to market.

Positioning itself as Eastern India’s First Digital Agritech Platform, FarmSanta seeks to bring modern agricultural information, technology, advisory services and market-related solutions closer to farmers through a single, collaborative platform.

The launch event was attended by prominent political, administrative, cultural and agricultural personalities, including Dr. Sukanta Majumdar, Minister of State for Education, Government of India, and actress Rituparna Sengupta, FarmSanta’s brand ambassador.

Dr. Sukanta Majumdar Highlights Agriculture’s Importance

Dr. Sukanta Majumdar attended the event as the Guest of Honour. His support for the FarmSanta initiative and its vision of integrating technology, agriculture and rural development was highlighted during the programme.

Speaking about agriculture’s significance, Dr. Sukanta Majumdar said, “Agriculture is the backbone of India. Without agriculture, there is no culture.”

Highlighting the deep connection between agriculture, the Indian economy, society and culture, he emphasised its critical role in the country’s overall development. He also highlighted the potential of technology-driven initiatives such as FarmSanta to bring modern knowledge, information and services closer to farmers.

By enabling access to relevant agricultural resources, digital platforms can help farmers make informed decisions, address cultivation-related challenges and adopt modern farming practices. Such initiatives can also contribute to empowering farmers and strengthening rural livelihoods.

An Integrated Digital Solution for Farmers: From Advisory to Market

FarmSanta is envisioned not merely as an information-based application but as a collaborative digital platform designed to support farmers throughout their entire agricultural journey.

The platform aims to integrate five key stages of farming: Advisory, Diagnosis, Solution, Delivery and Market. From understanding soil conditions and selecting suitable crops to identifying crop diseases, accessing agricultural solutions and obtaining necessary inputs, FarmSanta aims to simplify the farming process through digital technology.

The platform also seeks to connect farmers with potential market opportunities, helping bridge the gap between agricultural production and market access.

Agriculture Minister Shri Dudh Kumar Mondal highlighted the importance of technology-driven agricultural services such as FarmSanta in helping farmers access information related to cultivation. This includes guidance on suitable and potentially profitable crops for different seasons, protecting crops from pests and diseases, and identifying appropriate agricultural practices and solutions.

By bringing such information closer to farmers, FarmSanta aims to support informed decision-making and encourage the adoption of modern agricultural practices.

Upload an Image of an Affected Crop and Receive Guidance

One of FarmSanta’s key features is its proposed technology-enabled crop diagnosis facility. According to Murari M. Rakshit, founder associated with the FarmSanta initiative, farmers will be able to upload photographs of crops affected by pests or diseases through the FarmSanta application.

Using modern technology, the platform will attempt to identify the nature of the problem and provide possible solutions based on guidance from experienced agricultural experts.

This approach aims to help farmers access timely guidance when challenges arise in their fields, enabling them to take informed steps towards protecting their crops and addressing potential agricultural losses.

FarmSanta Can Become a New Avenue for Farmers’ Aspirations: Rituparna Sengupta

FarmSanta brand ambassador and actress Rituparna Sengupta highlighted the platform’s potential to address the aspirations of farmers and people associated with agriculture.

She said, “Just as Santa Claus is associated with fulfilling wishes, FarmSanta has the potential to help fulfil many aspirations of farmers and people associated with agriculture.”

She also highlighted that FarmSanta would be available as a free-to-download application for farmers, providing access to information and guidance on a range of agricultural challenges.

From understanding the agricultural inputs required for particular crops to addressing pest and disease attacks and exploring potential avenues for selling agricultural produce, FarmSanta aims to provide relevant information and support through digital technology.

Building a Collaborative Agricultural Ecosystem

A key aspect of FarmSanta is its focus on collaboration. The platform aims to bring together farmers, farmer-grade partners, service providers, regulatory bodies, government agencies, and other stakeholders involved in the agricultural ecosystem.

Rather than operating as an isolated service, FarmSanta seeks to create a connected digital environment where farmers can access expertise, services, solutions and market opportunities, while service providers and other stakeholders contribute to strengthening the agricultural value chain.

This collaborative approach aims to establish stronger connections between agricultural information, advisory services, diagnosis, solutions, service delivery and market linkages.

From Soil to Market: Supporting the Complete Farming Journey

The core vision of FarmSanta by NutriSource is to bring the farmer’s complete journey into an integrated digital ecosystem. From soil preparation and agricultural advisory to diagnosis, solutions, service delivery and market connectivity, the platform aims to support farmers at every stage.

By making digital technology more accessible, providing relevant information and services, and building a collaborative network connecting farmers, experts, government bodies, service providers and markets, FarmSanta aims to open a new digital chapter in Indian agriculture.

Through its focus on digital empowerment, agricultural innovation and rural livelihoods, FarmSanta seeks to create opportunities for a more connected, informed and technology-enabled farming community.

By Hiteshbhai Mansukhbhai Bhuva, Managing Director, Liotech Industries Limited

New Delhi [India], October 20: A few years ago, a dealer in eastern India approached a hardware manufacturer with a requirement for three products. The manufacturer could supply only two, forcing the dealer to source the third from another supplier. This meant managing two invoices, two deliveries and two separate points of contact in case of any issue. The dealer was not being difficult; this was simply how India’s architectural hardware trade had traditionally operated. For decades, the fragmented nature of the industry was accepted as a normal part of doing business.

However, this presents a significant opportunity for change. India’s market for hinges, bolts, latches and door fittings is growing, estimated at approximately US$3.96 billion in 2026 by Mordor Intelligence and projected to reach US$6.31 billion by 2031. Much of the market continues to be served by small manufacturers specialising in a limited number of products and catering to specific regions. While these businesses are efficient within their niches, buyers are often left to coordinate multiple suppliers. For a builder fitting out hundreds of apartments, managing procurement across several hardware vendors adds unnecessary complexity.

Recognising this gap, the company adopted a strategy focused on product range rather than concentrating on volume in a single category. It developed nine product categories, with more than 150 specifications, sizes and finishes within each, manufactured at its facility in Shapar and marketed under its own brand rather than through job-work arrangements for other labels.

This approach, however, comes with its own challenges. Job work can generate relatively immediate revenue, whereas building a brand requires sustained investment in marketing, product development and inventory. Instead of focusing on a few fast-moving products, the company must maintain stock across a wider assortment while also managing returns and distribution requirements.

Working capital remains a critical consideration. The business typically maintains around one-and-a-half to two months of inventory and extends credit of up to 45 days to distributors. Over the last three years, its EBITDA margin has remained largely within the 15–16% range, standing at 14.25% in FY26, while revenue grew 72% to ₹70.09 crore. Although a broader product range does not necessarily translate into higher profitability per rupee, it can strengthen customer relationships and make the company more difficult to replace. Customers accustomed to sourcing a comprehensive range from one supplier would need to return to coordinating with multiple vendors if they switched.

Recent regulatory developments are also reshaping the industry. Since 1 July 2025, hinges manufactured, sold, imported or stocked in India have been subject to the applicable BIS marking requirements under a Quality Control Order issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) in March 2025. The government has also introduced a minimum import price for certain imported cabinet hinges. While such measures can increase compliance costs, they may also strengthen the importance of product testing, documentation and traceability. Manufacturers that have already invested in quality systems could be better positioned as compliance becomes an increasingly important part of the market.

Regulatory compliance presents challenges for smaller manufacturers, who must invest in testing, certification and documentation. Improved access to working capital and compliance support from banks and industry associations will be crucial to help these businesses meet quality standards and sustain growth.

This is a broader challenge facing manufacturers across India’s architectural hardware industry. The opportunity often lies in fulfilling existing demand rather than creating an entirely new market. The company currently has orders exceeding its manufacturing capacity, prompting investment in new machinery and plans to expand vertically at its existing 12,632-square-foot facility. The key challenge is financing the period between purchasing raw materials, manufacturing products, expanding the product range and receiving payments from customers.

India has a strong metalworking base, particularly in Rajkot, but the opportunity lies in building trusted brands with a comprehensive product range. As the hardware industry evolves, manufacturers focusing on quality, product diversity, efficient distribution and working-capital management will be better positioned to strengthen customer relationships and compete beyond price alone.

Dubai [UAE], October 19: Dubai has plenty to offer once you step away from the shopping bags and observation decks. A desert dinner, a morning on the water or a meal shaped by Emirati traditions can give your holiday a different rhythm. These experiences let you spend time enjoying a place rather than simply photographing it.

For visitors and UAE residents planning a short break, the real question is how to spend that time well. Start with experiences that match your interests, then build the journey around them.

Why The Cooler Season Opens Up More Possibilities

Dubai’s outdoor travel season broadly runs from October to April, when cooler conditions make activities outside more comfortable. Desert outings, terrace dining and days by the coast become easier to fit into a holiday.

Still, the season does not remove the need for planning. Check the forecast before boat trips or mountain activities. Carry sunscreen during the day and a light layer for an evening outdoors. Reserve experiences with limited capacity before arranging the rest of your schedule.

For each booking, request a final price in AED and check cancellation terms. A quoted rate may cover only the core activity. Transfers, meals or other additions can change the total, so a written breakdown helps you decide where to spend your available holiday budget.

Enjoy The Desert At A Slower Pace

A premium desert outing can focus on wildlife, local traditions and dinner under the stars. It does not have to centre on fast drives over dunes.

Platinum Heritage, for example, offers experiences connected to Emirati culture and the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Its different collections show why checking the actual itinerary matters more than booking a package labelled “luxury”.

Ask whether the excursion includes a private vehicle, a shared camp or a separate dining area. These details affect how personal the evening feels.

• Confirm the time spent travelling and the time spent at camp.
• Tell the operator about dietary requirements before arrival.
• Ask whether wildlife viewing, cultural activities or astronomy are included.

Keep the following morning relaxed if the outing finishes late.

Make Time For A Private Yacht Experience

A yacht charter offers space to enjoy the coastline with your own group. You can talk over lunch, celebrate an occasion or simply spend an afternoon away from busy streets. Dubai Harbour and Dubai Marina are departure points for various yacht experiences.

A private charter means reserving the vessel for your group. A shared cruise means booking places alongside other passengers. Both can be enjoyable, but they offer different levels of privacy.

Before paying, confirm the boat, boarding location, trip duration and passenger limit. Ask what the price covers, including crew, refreshments and catering. Discuss swimming stops in advance; the captain must decide whether conditions and locations are suitable.

Leave some flexibility in your plans because weather can affect departure times and routes.

Let Food Become Part Of The Experience

Dubai’s dining scene rewards a little curiosity. A tasting menu brings several smaller courses in a planned sequence, while a chef’s counter can let you watch the kitchen at work. These formats suit travellers who enjoy understanding how a meal comes together.

For a connection to the UAE, consider contemporary Emirati dining. Gerbou combines Emirati dishes with locally sourced ingredients and interiors that celebrate local craftsmanship.

Another option is a hosted meal at the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Centre for Cultural Understanding in Al Fahidi. Emirati presenters explain customs while guests share traditional food.

Choose the setting that interests you, then check the menu format, expected duration and dress code. Tell the venue about allergies when booking rather than waiting until service begins.

Give Yourself A Proper Wellness Break

A spa visit works best when you leave enough time to enjoy it. Squeezing a treatment between two appointments can turn a relaxing afternoon into another deadline.

Talise Ottoman Spa at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray offers a Turkish hammam alongside other spa services. A hammam is a bathing experience that may include warmth, cleansing and exfoliation, depending on the treatment booked.

Read the package details carefully. A treatment reservation does not automatically mean every hotel facility is included. Confirm access to relaxation areas, pools or other amenities, and ask how early to arrive.

Keep the rest of the afternoon open for a quiet meal or some uninterrupted rest.

Spend A Day In Hatta

Hatta adds mountains and outdoor activity to a Dubai itinerary. Kayaking, hiking and mountain biking offer ways to engage with the landscape rather than view it through a car window.

Choose one main activity and allow time to enjoy it. A kayaking session followed by lunch can make a satisfying day without adding several demanding stops.

Check current operating times, equipment arrangements and any age restrictions before travelling. For hiking, match the route to your fitness and experience. Wear suitable shoes and carry drinking water.

An overnight stay can make the pace more comfortable, especially if you want an early start outdoors the next morning.

Make The Journeys Comfortable

Transport deserves attention when your plans include a marina departure, a restaurant reservation and a trip outside the city. Travellers who rent a luxury car in Dubai can enjoy comfortable journeys between these experiences, with room and luggage capacity depending on the vehicle.

Check the exact model, included mileage, deposit, insurance terms and charges for fuel, parking and Salik tolls. Confirm the provider’s driving licence requirements before payment.

A chauffeured vehicle may suit an evening with several stops. For desert excursions, ask whether transfers are already included so you avoid paying twice.

Build A Holiday With Room To Enjoy It

Choose a few experiences that deserve your time. Pair an active morning with a restful afternoon, and leave space between fixed bookings. Dubai’s premium experiences become more rewarding when you can settle into them. The aim is to return with memories of a meal, a conversation or an afternoon outdoors that you actually had time to enjoy.

With Esha Deol as Chief Guest and founder Mr Ajit sharing his industry expertise, Skyline Estate Agents champions a forward-looking vision that encourages Indian investors to think beyond borders.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 19: In a significant step towards encouraging a more global outlook on property investment, Skyline Estate Agents proudly participated in Launch Pad 2026, presented by Teams Applaud at the Taj Hotel, Santacruz, Mumbai. Featuring Bollywood personality Esha Deol as the Chief Guest, the event celebrated ambition, innovation and the possibilities that emerge when investors begin to think beyond traditional boundaries.

For Skyline Estate Agents, the event represented more than a launch. It reflected a vision to help Indian investors broaden their horizons, understand international property markets and consider opportunities that align with their long-term financial and lifestyle aspirations.

Opening Doors to a World of Opportunity

India’s property market continues to attract investors seeking stability, wealth creation and long-term value. However, investment opportunities are no longer confined to one’s home city or country. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, international real estate is gaining attention among Indian buyers exploring diversification, overseas living, rental income and future family opportunities.

A key highlight of the occasion was Mr Ajit, Founder of Skyline Estate Agents, who personally addressed the audience and shared valuable insights drawn from his two decades of experience across finance and real estate. As a UK-regulated adviser, his professional background has shaped his understanding of property markets, financial considerations and the importance of making informed investment decisions.

Through his address, Mr Ajit emphasised the importance of looking beyond familiar markets, understanding international opportunities and approaching investment with a long-term perspective.His contribution reinforced the central message of the event: think globally, invest intelligently and plan for the future.

International property investment requires informed decision-making, an understanding of local regulations, careful financial planning and awareness of market-specific risks. By encouraging investors to consider these factors, Skyline Estate Agents aims to make exploring global opportunities a more informed and accessible journey.

A Memorable Occasion with Esha Deol

The presence of Esha Deol as Chief Guest added distinction to Launch Pad 2026, bringing additional visibility to an occasion centred on ambition, progress and new possibilities.

Hosted at Mumbai’s Taj Hotel, the event brought the Launch Pad vision into focus, creating a platform to communicate the importance of innovation and forward-thinking approaches in today’s changing investment landscape.

For Skyline Estate Agents, being associated with this occasion reinforced its commitment to building awareness around property opportunities and helping clients look towards the future with confidence.

A Successful Step Towards a Bigger Vision

The significance of Launch Pad 2026 extends beyond the event itself. Its wider message encourages investors to challenge conventional thinking, ask better questions and explore opportunities they may not previously have considered.

For Indian investors, looking internationally can mean discovering different property markets, understanding alternative investment strategies and evaluating how overseas assets might fit into a diversified portfolio. Every opportunity, however, must be assessed on its own merits, with due diligence and professional advice at the centre of the decision-making process.

Skyline Estate Agents sees this shift in perspective as an important part of the future of property investment. Its ambition is to connect aspiration with information, helping clients move from simply considering possibilities to making well-informed choices.

The Future Is Global

Launch Pad 2026 marks an important milestone in Skyline Estate Agents’ continuing journey to promote a more ambitious, informed and internationally minded approach to property investment.

With Mr Ajit’s industry experience and the company’s forward-looking vision, Skyline Estate Agents is encouraging a new conversation about what property ownership can mean in a connected world.

The message from Mumbai is simple: the future belongs to investors who look ahead, think strategically and remain open to global possibilities.

For Skyline Estate Agents, this is more than a philosophy. It is a vision to help open doors to opportunities that reach beyond borders.

Bitcoin bulls are chasing $175,000, but fears of more fighting with Iran are giving traders another reason to worry. Oil surged last week, putting fresh pressure on prices and hopes of cheaper borrowing. Bitcoin’s big target is still months away, while the next bad headline is never far off.

The panic does not end the hunt for the next breakout. Patient investors have time to look beyond the biggest coins and find projects before their first listing. AlphaPepe has already raised over $3.1 million at that stage, with a working swap platform and another exchange partnership announcement coming this week.

Bitcoin’s Recovery Is Still a Waiting Game

Siebert Financial analyst Brian Vieten sees Bitcoin moving beyond $175,000 over the next few quarters. He points to growing institutional ownership and more ways for investors to borrow against their holdings without selling. His forecast gives Bitcoin buyers a reason to look beyond the latest market scare.

But the road remains rough. Oil touched $110 on Friday as Middle East tensions grew, then eased on Monday. Attacks on shipping and threats to supply kept fears of another energy price jump alive.

For investors chasing bigger gains, waiting for Bitcoin to recover is only one route. The other is finding a project before its first exchange trade, while its community and product are still growing. AlphaPepe’s presale offers that earlier entry at $0.03402.

AlphaPepe Puts an Exchange Behind the Token

A meme brings attention. A useful product gives people a reason to return after the first rush fades. AlphaPepe combines the frog with AlphaSwap, its AI DEX, which is already live in Early Access.

An ex-Shibarium developer is behind the exchange. AlphaPepe is also building tools that let traders find tokens and prepare swaps through AI conversations, with Auto-Trade registration already open. The exchange is growing before ALPE reaches its first public listing.

ALPE-powered access and trading credits are being built into those advanced tools. Under that model, traders use the ecosystem and need the token for access to its features. Growth in the product creates a route toward demand beyond the initial presale.

BNB shows why exchange tokens attract early buyers. It launched before Binance opened for trading, starting with fee benefits before expanding across a much wider ecosystem. AlphaPepe is pursuing its own version of that model around ALPE and AlphaSwap.

The presale offers entry while that relationship is taking shape. More than 12,600 holders have already joined, with over 100 new holders arriving daily. AlphaPepe is building its community before the first exchange chart brings a new audience.

This Week’s Exchange Reveal Adds to the Gains Hunt

Four CEX partnerships have already been announced, with another partnership announcement coming this week. Binance is the main name being watched ahead of the reveal. A major exchange partner would bring AlphaPepe closer to a much wider pool of traders.

Exchange access and product use serve different parts of the growth story. Listings help new buyers find ALPE. AlphaSwap’s expanding tools give the ecosystem a reason to keep attracting users after launch.

The listing price starts at $0.08, compared with the current $0.03402 presale price. Once reached, that would value a $1,000 allocation at roughly $2,352. The entry comes before the next partner reveal and before public trading begins.

AlphaSwap’s rollout, growing ALPE utility and the push toward a Binance listing drive AlphaPepe’s 300x forecast. This is where a $500 entry becomes $150,000.

AlphaPepe’s route toward that forecast runs through its exchange rollout and AlphaSwap’s growth. The presale is the early position in that bet. Buyers are entering before the market has put a public trading price on the token.

Fewer Than 40 Bonus Crates Remain

There is also an offer running down before the next exchange announcement. Fewer than 40 Limited Bonus AlphaLabs mystery crates remain, offering up to 300% extra tokens.

Those extra tokens increase the allocation from the start. The remaining crates put a clear limit on the offer while ALPE is still available at its current presale price. Once the final crates are taken, that opportunity is gone.

Conclusion

Bitcoin’s $175,000 forecast gives investors a big recovery target, but Iran fears and expensive oil keep testing their patience. AlphaPepe offers an earlier bet, with AlphaSwap Early Access live, ex-Shibarium experience behind the DEX and over $3.1 million raised.

The current entry is $0.03402, this week’s exchange announcement is approaching, and fewer than 40 bonus crates remain.

In four years, Hampton By IC’s has evolved from an 18-room boutique hotel into a 50-room hospitality destination, building its identity around service, guest experience and its strategic Noida Expressway location.

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 19: A hotel stay is often measured by familiar parameters—location, rooms, amenities and convenience. But for many travellers, what ultimately stays with them is something less tangible: how they were treated during their stay.

For Hampton By IC’s, this understanding has become an important part of its hospitality philosophy.

Over the past four years, the brand has welcomed thousands of guests, built a growing corporate clientele, received strong guest feedback and ratings, and hosted business events, celebrations and social functions. What began as an 18-room boutique hotel has progressively grown into a 50-room hospitality destination, reflecting both the confidence of its guests and the changing requirements of the market.

Hospitality Beyond the Room

Personalisation is increasingly becoming an important differentiator in hospitality.

While technology has made hotel operations more efficient and standardised many aspects of the guest journey, meaningful hospitality still depends on human interaction.

At Hampton By IC’s, this philosophy is reflected particularly in its approach to in-room hospitality and attention to individual guest requirements.

What makes this particularly relevant to Hampton is the combination of boutique-scale personalisation with the ability to serve a broader mix of corporate, business and social requirements. The property has evolved beyond being simply a place to stay, becoming a destination where guests can stay, meet, conduct business and celebrate.

The objective is not simply to deliver a defined checklist of services, but to understand the guest and make the experience more comfortable and personal.

Listening to the Guest

A strong service culture cannot be built only through internal processes. It also evolves through listening to guests.

Guest feedback and reviews provide Hampton By IC’s with an important window into what visitors value during their stay.

Over four years, this feedback has been reflected in strong guest ratings and positive reviews, while the growth of the guest and corporate base has provided the brand with a broader understanding of evolving expectations.

This creates a continuous cycle:

Listen → Understand → Improve → Deliver

For Hampton By IC’s, guest satisfaction is therefore not simply an outcome to measure; it is part of the process through which the brand continues to evolve.

From Hospitality to Relationships

The growth of Hampton By IC’s’ corporate clientele has further strengthened the importance of relationship-driven hospitality.

Its location along the Noida Expressway adds another dimension to this positioning. The Expressway connects a fast-growing corporate and commercial corridor, making the location relevant to business travellers, organisations and professionals looking for convenient hospitality close to their work and business destinations.

Business travellers often have different expectations from leisure guests. They value efficiency and convenience, but they also appreciate familiarity, responsiveness and a smooth experience—particularly when their stays become frequent.

For Hampton By IC’s, this has created an opportunity to build its identity around both accessibility and personalised service—bringing together the convenience expected by corporate guests with the more personal experience associated with boutique hospitality.

People Are the Experience

Facilities can be built. Rooms can be designed. Technology can be implemented.

But service is ultimately delivered by people.

This makes the team behind the guest experience an integral part of Hampton By IC’s’ identity.

Creating a strong service culture requires employees to understand that hospitality is not limited to responding when a guest asks for something. It is also about anticipating requirements, paying attention to details and creating an environment where guests feel comfortable approaching the team.

This people-first approach is central to what Hampton By IC’s is building as a brand: a hospitality experience that feels attentive and personal even as the property grows.

An Independent Approach to Hospitality

Hampton By IC’s’ journey also highlights an important aspect of independent hospitality: the ability to build a service philosophy around the property and its guests rather than relying solely on a standardised model.

The brand’s foundation is influenced by the values of Interior Craft—particularly its long-standing emphasis on quality, attention to detail and customer-centricity—but Hampton By IC’s has translated these principles into its own hospitality environment.

The result is a hospitality identity that is distinctly Hampton: boutique in character, personalised in service, connected to the business ecosystem around the Noida Expressway, and increasingly capable of serving multiple guest occasions under one destination.

Building the Culture as the Brand Grows

As Hampton By IC’s has expanded from 18 rooms to approximately 50 rooms, maintaining personalised hospitality while scaling operations becomes an increasingly important challenge.

This expansion is also one of the clearest milestones of the brand’s four-year journey. The move from 18 rooms to a 50-room hospitality destination has followed the growth of the guest base, corporate requirements and the property’s ability to serve a wider range of occasions.

Growth can bring greater operational complexity. The challenge is to ensure that expansion does not dilute the experience that helped build the brand’s reputation in the first place.

The next phase is therefore not growth for its own sake. It is about expanding the hospitality offering in response to guest trust, market requirements and the opportunities emerging around its Noida Expressway location—while protecting the service culture that has shaped the brand over its first four years.

The Experience Guests Remember

A successful hotel stay may begin with a booking, but the relationship with a guest is built through every interaction that follows.

For Hampton By IC’s, the larger ambition is to make those interactions meaningful.

Four years of operations have given Hampton By IC’s more than a timeline; they have given the brand a foundation—thousands of guest experiences, a growing corporate clientele, strong guest feedback, a wider events and hospitality offering, and a journey from 18 rooms to a 50-room destination.

The brand now enters its next chapter with a clearer identity: hospitality built around personalised service, guest satisfaction, business accessibility and the ability to evolve with the needs of its market.

Its expansion is a natural continuation of that journey—driven by growth, guest trust and changing requirements, rather than simply by adding capacity.

As the brand enters its next phase of growth, its service philosophy remains rooted in a simple idea:

“Hospitality is not just about where a guest stays. It is about how the guest feels while they are there.”

For Hampton By IC’s, the next chapter is about taking what it has built over four years and turning that foundation into a stronger, more distinctive hospitality brand—while continuing to make every stay, meeting and occasion feel genuinely personal.

How improving connectivity, employment corridors, and established social infrastructure are reshaping the suburb’s residential appeal.

New Delhi [India], October 19: For much of the past two decades, Mumbai’s western suburbs have evolved along a northward growth corridor, with established neighbourhoods such as Andheri shaping the region’s residential and commercial landscape. Further north, Kandivali East was traditionally perceived as a practical, family-oriented residential market. That perception is evolving, as improving connectivity, a maturing social ecosystem and the changing geography of employment reshape its position within Western Mumbai’s housing market.

This transformation is not the result of any single infrastructure project or development, but rather the cumulative impact of improving connectivity, an expanding employment landscape and a well-established residential ecosystem. Together, these factors are strengthening the locality’s appeal and reinforcing its underlying growth potential.

A commute that has been redrawn

In Mumbai, connectivity is ultimately measured in minutes, not kilometres. Kandivali East benefits from access to the Western Express Highway and Metro Line 7, which runs along the western suburban corridor between Andheri and Dahisar. Together, these transport networks provide commuters with road and metro options, while the suburban railway network continues to connect the neighbourhood to Mumbai’s wider employment and activity centres through Kandivali station.

A further set of infrastructure projects could strengthen these connectivity advantages over time. The Thane–Borivali Twin Tunnel, being constructed beneath Sanjay Gandhi National Park, is designed to establish a more direct road connection between the eastern and western suburbs, reducing dependence on the congested Ghodbunder Road route. The Versova–Dahisar Coastal Road corridor and its planned extension towards Bhayandar are intended to improve north–south movement along Mumbai’s western edge. Meanwhile, the Goregaon–Mulund Link Road is being developed to improve east–west connectivity across the suburbs.

These projects are at different stages of development, and their eventual impact will depend on execution and commissioning. As connectivity improves, well-connected residential neighbourhoods such as Kandivali East could benefit from easier access to employment centres and other parts of the metropolitan region.

Following the office market

Where people work increasingly influences where they choose to live. Mumbai’s commercial office market continues to witness significant activity across established business districts such as Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Andheri and Goregaon. For professionals working in these hubs, Kandivali East offers a residential base with access to the western suburban transport network, alongside established social infrastructure and a range of housing options.

This connectivity also supports the locality’s rental appeal. According to 99acres, estimated rental yields in Kandivali East are around 3%–3.5%. Actual yields vary by project, property configuration, purchase price and prevailing rents, but the figure provides an indication of the rental market’s potential to attract working professionals and families seeking established residential neighbourhoods.

The wider employment landscape adds context to this demand. According to Knight Frank, Mumbai recorded approximately 9.8 million sq. ft. of office leasing in 2025, making it the city’s second-strongest year for office leasing in more than a decade. Global Capability Centres (GCCs), along with demand from other occupier segments, contributed to the market’s activity.

The momentum continued into 2026. Cushman & Wakefield reported approximately 10.7 million sq. ft. of office leasing in Mumbai during the first half of the year, representing an increase of around 30% year-on-year. This reflects sustained occupier activity and the importance of Mumbai’s established and emerging commercial corridors.

While city-wide leasing trends do not directly translate into housing demand in any single micro-market, they reinforce the importance of residential locations that offer convenient access to employment. As business districts evolve and commuting patterns change, neighbourhoods across the western suburbs could benefit from the convergence of employment, transport connectivity and housing demand.

A neighbourhood that already works

What distinguishes Kandivali East from many emerging residential markets is the maturity of its social infrastructure. The neighbourhood is served by established educational institutions, including Gundecha Education Academy, Oxford International School, Ryan International School, Oberoi International School and Chatrabhuj Narsee School. Healthcare facilities include Smruti Hospital, Life Line Medicare Hospital, Seven Star Multi-speciality Hospital and Sanjeevani Hospital.

Retail and leisure destinations, including Sky City Mall and Oberoi Mall, complement the area’s everyday conveniences, alongside restaurants, banks and other essential services. Together, these amenities give Kandivali East the convenience and completeness of an established residential neighbourhood.

The locality also benefits from its proximity to Sanjay Gandhi National Park, one of Mumbai’s most significant protected green spaces. In a dense urban environment, access to natural landscapes and open spaces adds another dimension to residential liveability, particularly for families looking to balance city connectivity with a more open living environment.

These existing fundamentals are important. While infrastructure can improve accessibility and new development can introduce contemporary housing options, an established social ecosystem provides a level of everyday convenience that emerging locations may take years to build.

What the numbers indicate

Kandivali East’s residential market performance reflects the broader evolution of the western suburbs. According to 99acres, average residential values in the locality have increased by approximately 29% over the five-year period covered by its data. Individual projects and property configurations, however, can experience different levels of appreciation depending on their location, amenities, supply and demand.

The reported increase points to an upward price trend, but its sustainability will depend on the strength of end-user demand, future infrastructure delivery and broader market conditions. Connectivity and social infrastructure can support residential values over time, although neither guarantees a uniform rate of appreciation across a locality.

For homebuyers, this makes it important to look beyond headline price movements and assess the fundamentals of individual developments, including location, accessibility, construction quality, amenities and the long-term liveability of the surrounding neighbourhood.

Redevelopment and the next phase

Redevelopment could become an important contributor to Kandivali East’s next phase of evolution. Replacing ageing housing stock with contemporary residential communities can create opportunities to improve the quality of the built environment, introduce modern amenities and make more efficient use of urban land.

The pace and impact of this transition will depend on project approvals, implementation, resident participation and market demand. Where redevelopment progresses successfully, it could add a new dimension to the locality’s residential offering, complementing its established neighbourhoods and existing infrastructure.

The larger opportunity lies in the combination of old and new: a residential market with established schools, healthcare, retail and transport access, alongside the potential for newer developments to offer contemporary design, amenities and improved living environments.

As Mumbai’s residential growth continues to evolve, the western suburbs that combine connectivity, social infrastructure and sustained end-user demand are well positioned to remain relevant to homebuyers. Kandivali East’s next phase will depend on how effectively infrastructure improvements, redevelopment and changing housing preferences translate into a better residential experience.

New Delhi [India], October 19: Kyptec LifeStyle®, an Indian consumer audio brand operating under BalaJi MicroTechnologies Pvt. Ltd., part of the B.B. Group of Companies, continues to strengthen its presence in India’s personal audio market through Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Earbuds. Designed for consumers who value clear wireless communication, powerful sound reproduction, comfortable listening and dependable battery performance, these true wireless earbuds combine Environmental Noise Cancellation, four built in microphones, large 13mm audio drivers, low latency functionality and up to 40 hours of advertised total playtime in a compact, lightweight design.

As wireless communication becomes an important part of everyday life, consumers increasingly expect their audio devices to support professional conversations, online meetings, music, mobile entertainment and travel without compromising convenience. For buyers exploring wireless earbuds, Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Wireless Earbuds bring together practical calling features, premium bass performance, extended battery endurance and portable construction. The product is particularly relevant for individuals who regularly switch between telephone conversations, music streaming, online communication and entertainment throughout the day.

With consumers paying greater attention to microphone performance, sound quality, comfort and connectivity, Kyptec LifeStyle® continues to focus on audio products designed around everyday requirements. Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Bluetooth Earphones reflect this approach by combining communication oriented ENC technology with larger audio drivers and convenient wireless functionality, offering an accessible personal audio solution for modern lifestyles.

Environmental Noise Cancellation for Clear Calling and Everyday Communication

Clear voice communication has become an important consideration when selecting modern earphones, particularly for individuals who frequently make telephone calls while commuting, working or travelling. Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Earbuds incorporate Environmental Noise Cancellation technology designed to help reduce unwanted background sounds captured by the microphones during voice conversations.

For consumers considering Bluetooth earbuds for professional calls, online meetings and everyday communication, microphone performance can be just as important as music playback. Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Wireless Earbuds combine ENC technology with a four microphone configuration intended to improve voice pickup and support clearer communication across different listening environments.

Unlike Active Noise Cancellation, which is primarily designed to reduce external sounds heard by the listener, Environmental Noise Cancellation focuses on processing microphone input to help make speech more distinguishable during calls. This distinction is important for consumers comparing different noise reduction technologies, as ENC does not provide the same listening experience as dedicated Hybrid ANC headphones or earbuds.

Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Bluetooth Earphones are designed to support conversations in everyday environments where fans, surrounding activity, traffic and other ambient sounds may affect communication. Actual voice clarity depends on microphone positioning, background noise characteristics, network conditions and the communication application being used. The technology provides practical support for consumers who want compact earphones capable of handling regular voice communication without requiring a separate headset.

Powerful 13mm Audio Drivers for Deep Bass and Immersive Music

Sound reproduction remains one of the most important factors influencing the purchase of personal audio devices. Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Earbuds incorporate large 13mm audio drivers designed to deliver powerful bass, clear vocals and an engaging listening experience across different types of music and digital entertainment.

The driver configuration supports listeners who enjoy energetic music, strong rhythm sections and impactful low frequency sound. From contemporary pop and electronic music to Bollywood soundtracks, hip hop and streaming entertainment, Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Wireless Earbuds are positioned to provide a rich audio experience within a compact true wireless design.

Consumers comparing bass earbuds often consider the balance between low frequency performance, vocal clarity, wearing comfort and overall sound presentation. While driver size alone does not determine audio quality, the 13mm configuration is an important part of the product’s sound design. Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Bluetooth Earphones combine this larger driver arrangement with wireless connectivity and a lightweight structure, making them suitable for music, podcasts, films and everyday entertainment.

The earbuds are designed for listeners who want enjoyable sound reproduction without carrying larger headphones. Their compact construction offers convenient portability, while their bass oriented sound characteristics make them relevant to consumers who prefer an engaging personal listening experience throughout the day.

Four Built In Microphones for Professional Calls and Personal Conversations

Wireless earphones are increasingly used for business discussions, remote working, online education and personal communication. Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Earbuds feature a quad microphone arrangement intended to support voice pickup and clarity during everyday telephone calls and digital conversations.

The four built in microphones work alongside the product’s ENC functionality, allowing users to move between music, incoming calls and online meetings without changing audio devices. This versatility is particularly useful for professionals who frequently communicate through smartphones, students participating in online classes and individuals who prefer hands free calling while managing daily activities.

For consumers researching earbuds with mic functionality, microphone configuration, comfort and dependable wireless connectivity are important considerations. Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Wireless Earbuds bring these capabilities together in a portable audio product designed for both communication and entertainment. Their compact format makes them convenient for carrying during travel, workplace activities and everyday movement.

Although actual calling performance varies with network quality, surrounding conditions and microphone positioning, the combination of multiple microphones and Environmental Noise Cancellation provides a useful feature for consumers who place particular importance on voice communication.

Low Latency Connectivity for Gaming, Videos and Digital Entertainment

Audio timing contributes significantly to the enjoyment of films, online videos and mobile gaming. When sound is noticeably delayed in relation to the picture, the experience can become distracting, particularly during fast moving scenes and interactive entertainment.

Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Bluetooth Earphones incorporate low latency functionality intended to reduce the delay between audio playback and compatible video content. This feature is relevant for consumers who regularly use their smartphones or tablets for watching films, streaming online videos and enjoying casual mobile games.

For individuals comparing gaming earbuds, sound quality and audio timing are both important factors. Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Earbuds combine their 13mm audio drivers with low latency functionality, allowing the product to support different entertainment preferences without being limited to music listening alone.

Actual latency depends on device compatibility, application requirements, wireless conditions and supported operating modes. Nevertheless, the combination of portable design, engaging bass performance and wireless audio functionality makes these earphones relevant to consumers seeking one convenient device for multiple digital activities.

Up to 40 Hours of Battery Life with Convenient Charging

Battery endurance is an important consideration for consumers who rely on wireless audio throughout the day. Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Wireless Earbuds offer up to 40 hours of advertised total playtime, helping reduce the need for frequent charging during music listening, communication and entertainment activities.

The product also offers an advertised charging time of approximately 1.5 hours, supporting convenient battery replenishment between listening sessions. Its compact charging arrangement contributes to portability, making the earphones suitable for individuals who travel regularly or move between home, office, college and other locations.

Consumers seeking earbuds with long battery life often consider the overall convenience of extended playback alongside sound quality, microphone performance and comfort. Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Earbuds combine their advertised battery capability with ENC calling functionality, 13mm drivers and wireless connectivity to support different everyday listening requirements.

Actual playback duration varies according to listening volume, calling activity, connectivity conditions and other operating factors. The advertised duration represents the product’s stated maximum under suitable conditions rather than guaranteed continuous listening time from a single earbud charge.

Lightweight Design, Wireless Freedom and Everyday Comfort

Portability and comfort remain important factors for consumers who use wireless audio devices during commuting, travelling, working and leisure activities. Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Bluetooth Earphones feature a lightweight in ear design intended to provide comfortable listening while remaining convenient to carry throughout the day.

The compact construction offers an alternative to larger over ear headphones for consumers who prefer audio devices that can be carried easily in a pocket, handbag or travel accessory. This convenience is particularly relevant for individuals who frequently make calls, listen to music while commuting or use personal audio during everyday activities.

Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Wireless Earbuds support connectivity with compatible smartphones, tablets, laptops and other Bluetooth enabled devices, with an advertised wireless transmission range of up to 10 metres under suitable conditions. Their wireless design removes the inconvenience of a physical audio cable, allowing users greater freedom of movement during compatible listening and communication activities.

As TWS earbuds become a familiar part of everyday personal technology, consumers increasingly value products that combine compact construction, comfortable wearability, practical battery performance and reliable communication features. Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Earbuds address these expectations through their combination of ENC technology, multiple microphones, powerful sound and portable wireless convenience.

Strengthening the KyptecLifeStyle® Wireless Audio Portfolio

Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Earbuds form an important part of the brand’s established wireless audio portfolio, which includes additional true wireless earbuds and Bluetooth headphones addressing different consumer preferences. The model is particularly focused on Environmental Noise Cancellation, quad microphone communication, powerful 13mm audio drivers, low latency functionality and extended battery performance.

Under the leadership of Nitin Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CEO, and Sweta Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CMO, Kyptec LifeStyle® continues to develop its brand identity around practical technology, contemporary design, customer requirements and long term business development. Supported by BalaJi MicroTechnologies Pvt. Ltd. and the wider B.B. Group of Companies, the brand remains focused on strengthening its presence in India’s competitive consumer audio market.

Through Kyptec LifeStyle® 640 Wireless Earbuds, the company reinforces its commitment to combining useful audio technologies with accessible everyday functionality. The product reflects the brand’s understanding that modern consumers expect their earphones to provide clear communication, enjoyable music playback, dependable battery performance and convenient wireless connectivity within a single compact device.

After expanding to more than 25 experience centres, founder Avinash Kumar Bhatt is steering Khyati Contech towards brand licensing, manufacturing operations and distribution in a strategic shift aimed at building a more scalable construction materials business.

New Delhi [India], October 17: When Avinash Kumar Bhatt entered the construction materials market, the focus was on making building products more accessible to customers through a trading business and a network of experience centres. The journey, however, would lead to a broader question: how could the business grow beyond retail expansion and build a more sustainable operating model?

That question is now central to the next phase of Khyati Contech Private Limited.

The company began under the Khyati Infra Mart brand and subsequently expanded to more than 25 experience centres, bringing different construction materials under one roof. The initiative gave the business direct exposure to customer requirements, dealer relationships and the practical challenges of serving a fragmented market.

But rapid retail expansion also brought operational complexities. High operating costs and supply constraints prompted the company to reassess its strategy.

Rather than relying primarily on opening more outlets, Bhatt shifted the company’s focus towards a model built around brand licensing, manufacturing and distribution.

The change represents more than a new sales strategy. It signals an effort to develop a business that connects products and brands with manufacturing capabilities and a distribution network capable of reaching a wider market.

From Experience Centres to Manufacturing
The experience-centre phase played an important role in shaping Khyati Contech’s understanding of the construction materials industry. It offered first-hand insights into customer demand, product availability, supply-chain limitations and the economics of operating a physical retail network.

The experience also highlighted the importance of balancing expansion with cost discipline and reliable supply.

The company subsequently began moving beyond a predominantly trading-led approach. Under its evolving model, Khyati Contech obtains licences for brands, works with manufacturing units under agreed arrangements to produce products under the respective brands, and distributes those products through its market network.

The company says manufacturing units across its brand portfolio operate within its control framework. Its stated objective is to coordinate manufacturing and distribution more closely, supporting product availability and a more organised route to market.

The approach places Khyati Contech across several stages of the construction materials value chain, from licensed brands and manufacturing operations to distribution.

For the company, the challenge ahead is to translate this structure into dependable supply, efficient operations and sustainable commercial growth.

Four Brand Initiatives Across Construction Materials
Khyati Contech’s portfolio includes initiatives across TMT steel, MS and GI pipes, and PVC pipes. Its key brand associations include Jindal Steel Tubes Ltd., the DS Jindal Group and the Yash Birla Group.

JSTL TMT Bars
The JSTL TMT portfolio includes JSTL 550 SHD and JSTL 550 SD, with JSTL 550 D also planned as part of the range. The brand is associated with Jindal Steel Tubes Ltd., a DS Jindal Group company.

The company announced its first commercial dispatch of JSTL TMT from Giridih, Jharkhand, on July 25, 2026, through Lall Steels Pvt. Ltd., its authorised manufacturing partner.

The dispatch marked a milestone in the commercial development of the JSTL TMT initiative and its manufacturing arrangements.

Jindal MS and GI Pipes
The company’s portfolio also includes Jindal MS and GI Pipes, broadening its presence in steel products used in construction, infrastructure and industrial applications.

Birla King TMT
The Birla King initiative, associated with the Yash Birla Group, includes Birla King 550 SD and Birla King 550 XHD TMT Bars.

The addition of these products expands the company’s steel portfolio and supports its strategy of developing a multi-brand presence in the construction materials market.

Jindal PVC
The Jindal PVC initiative, associated with the DS Jindal Group, extends the portfolio into PVC pipes and related building materials.

Taken together, these initiatives reflect a broader strategy to serve multiple construction materials categories through brand associations, manufacturing arrangements and distribution.

The commercial scope of each association is defined by its relevant licensing and business agreements.

A Connected Model: Licensing, Manufacturing and Distribution
At the centre of Khyati Contech’s strategy is the connection between three business functions.

Brand licensing provides the framework for manufacturing and marketing products under the respective brands.

Manufacturing operations turn those arrangements into physical products through the company’s manufacturing network and agreed production structures.

Distribution connects finished products with dealers, distributors, retailers and customers.

The company aims to coordinate these functions rather than treat them as separate activities. In practice, the model requires effective production planning, dependable supply, appropriate logistics and strong relationships with distribution partners.

Manufacturing oversight is an important part of the company’s stated approach. Its longer-term performance will depend on how effectively that oversight translates into operational consistency and market availability.

As the network develops, verified information on operational manufacturing units, commissioning facilities, production capacity and dispatch volumes will be important measures of progress.

Avinash Kumar Bhatt’s Approach: Learning and Adapting
For Bhatt, the shift reflects lessons learned during the company’s expansion into experience centres.

The earlier phase brought the company closer to the market but also exposed the challenges of scaling a physical retail model. The decision to pursue manufacturing and distribution represents an effort to apply that experience to a different business structure.

In entrepreneurship, expansion can create opportunities, but it can also reveal where an operating model needs to change. Khyati Contech’s next phase is built around that reassessment.

“We started by understanding the market from the ground up. Building experience centres taught us what customers need and where the supply chain faces challenges. Today, we are applying those lessons to a different model—one that brings brand licensing, manufacturing and distribution together. Our focus is on building a business that can grow sustainably over the long term.”

The emphasis is on building from experience rather than simply increasing the company’s physical footprint.

Distribution as the Link Between Manufacturing and Market Demand
Manufacturing alone does not guarantee market reach. Products must be available at the right time, supplied efficiently and supported by dependable relationships with channel partners.

Khyati Contech is developing its distribution network to connect its manufacturing activities with the wider construction materials market. This approach is intended to extend market access without making company-operated experience centres the primary driver of expansion.

The priorities include improving coordination between manufacturing and demand, strengthening dealer and distributor relationships, managing logistics and maintaining commercial discipline across product categories.

The company’s ability to execute these functions will be central to building a business that can grow without losing sight of operational efficiency.

The Road Ahead
India’s construction and infrastructure sectors depend on a diverse network of manufacturers, distributors, dealers, retailers, contractors and building professionals. Serving this market requires reliable product availability, efficient distribution and the ability to respond to demand across different regions.

Khyati Contech aims to strengthen its position by bringing brand licensing, manufacturing operations and distribution into a more coordinated business strategy.

Its longer-term ambition is to develop a scalable, multi-brand construction materials enterprise with a broader market reach and a stronger operational foundation.

The next stage will require disciplined execution, effective manufacturing oversight, sustainable operating economics and durable relationships with channel partners. The company’s progress will be measured not simply by the number of brands or manufacturing locations associated with it, but by its ability to turn those capabilities into consistent supply and lasting commercial value.

Building Beyond the Trading Model
Khyati Contech’s journey—from construction materials trading to more than 25 experience centres and then towards manufacturing and distribution—reflects an evolving approach to entrepreneurship.

The experience-centre phase helped the company understand the market. Its subsequent strategic shift has placed greater emphasis on licensed brands, manufacturing operations and distribution.

With initiatives spanning JSTL TMT Bars, Jindal MS and GI Pipes, Birla King TMT and Jindal PVC, the company is pursuing a wider role across the construction materials value chain.

For Avinash Kumar Bhatt, the next chapter is about applying the lessons of the past to build a business designed for the future.

Beyond trading, Khyati Contech is focusing on connecting brand licensing, manufacturing and distribution to build a scalable construction materials business.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 16: Potato flakes offer a convenient way to prepare popular potato-based dishes without the time spent peeling, boiling, and mashing fresh potatoes. From aloo tikki and stuffed parathas to street food snacks, soups, and bulk catering, they help simplify kitchen preparation while delivering consistent texture.

Why a jar of potato flakes changes your prep time

Ask any home cook or a line chef what eats up the most time in a potato dish, and the answer is rarely the cooking itself. It is the peeling, the boiling, the draining, and the mashing that happens before a single spice goes in. Instant potato flakes skip all four steps. Add hot water, stir, and you have a smooth mash ready to shape, stuff, or fry within a minute. For a home in Aligarh cooking dinner after a long day, or a cloud kitchen firing fifty orders an hour, that saved time adds up fast.

Shree Aahar makes its flakes from potatoes alone, with no preservatives or artificial colour mixed in, so the dishes below taste like they came from a pot of freshly mashed potatoes, not a packet.

Aloo tikki and cutlets in minutes

Tikki is where potato flakes show their real advantage. Rehydrate the flakes with hot water, let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then mix in boiled peas, chopped coriander, ginger, and a pinch of chaat masala. Shape into rounds and shallow fry until the crust turns deep gold. Because the flakes rehydrate to a uniform texture, every tikki holds together on the tawa instead of crumbling at the edges, which matters if you are frying a full batch for a family gathering.

Cutlets follow the same base. Fold in grated carrot or paneer, coat in breadcrumbs, and fry. Restaurants running a busy counter often prefer this route because the mash is ready the moment an order comes in, rather than sitting half-mashed in a bowl from the morning prep.

Paratha and roll fillings without the mash

A stuffed paratha needs a filling that is dry enough to fold into dough without tearing it. Potato flakes rehydrated with slightly less water than usual give exactly that texture. Mix in ajwain, green chilli, and a squeeze of lemon, then stuff and roll as usual. Kathi rolls and frankies use the same filling wrapped in a rumali roti with onions and a drizzle of chutney.

For a Sunday breakfast table, this is one less pot to wash. There is no need to boil a batch of potatoes the night before and store them in the fridge, since a fresh batch of flakes comes together right when it is needed.

Vada, bonda and street style snacks

Batata vada is a Maharashtrian staple that lives or dies on how well the potato filling holds its shape once dipped in besan batter and dropped in hot oil. A stiff, well-seasoned flake mash, tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and turmeric, gives a filling that stays intact through frying. The same base works for aloo bonda, and for stuffing inside a crisp samosa shell when time is short before a big order.

Street food vendors and small eateries running high volumes often keep a bucket of prepared flake mash ready through service hours, topping it up as needed rather than managing pots of boiling potatoes on a busy stove.

Soups and gravies that need body

Beyond snacks, a spoon or two of dry potato flakes works as a thickener in soups, stews, and thick gravies. Stir the flakes directly into a simmering vegetable soup or a mixed vegetable curry, and they dissolve into the liquid, adding body without changing the flavour of the dish. This trick comes from Western kitchens that have used potato flakes as a binding agent for decades, and it works just as well in an Indian kitchen making a hearty winter shorba.

Party trays and bulk cooking for events

Caterers preparing for a wedding or a corporate lunch face a different problem. Consistency across a large batch matters more than almost anything else. Boiling and mashing a hundred kilos of potatoes by hand introduces variation, some batches lumpy, some watery. Flakes rehydrate the same way every time, batch after batch, which keeps every tray of tikki or every tub of mash uniform, whether it is served at noon or at eight in the evening. This is also why Shree Aahar sells a 20 kilogram bulk pack built specifically for restaurants and cloud kitchens that need this kind of volume without variation.

Shree Aahar potato flakes are made in Aligarh by Shivashrit Foods and are already trusted for bulk supply by names such as Haldiram, Bikanervala, and Bikaji. Pick up a trial pack to test these recipes at home, or visit the website www.shreeaahar.com for restaurant and bulk order pricing.

Independent health and wellness platform strengthens its coverage across nutrition, preventive health, fitness, natural wellness, healthy ageing, and everyday lifestyle topics for Indian readers

New Delhi [India], October 17: HealthZeet.com, an independent health and wellness information platform, is expanding its library of evidence-informed content to help Indian readers better understand health, nutrition, fitness, preventive care, natural wellness, and everyday lifestyle choices.

As interest in healthier living continues to grow, consumers are increasingly searching online for information about nutrition, exercise, supplements, traditional remedies, healthy ageing, sleep, stress management, digestive health, metabolic health, and preventive wellbeing. At the same time, the enormous volume of health information available online can make it difficult for readers to distinguish useful guidance from exaggerated claims, incomplete explanations, and wellness trends that may lack sufficient evidence.

HealthZeet aims to address this challenge by making health and wellness information clearer, more practical, and easier to understand.

Making Health Information More Accessible

Health information can often feel unnecessarily complicated. Scientific terminology, conflicting advice, changing wellness trends, and promotional claims can leave readers uncertain about what information deserves their attention.

HealthZeet approaches these topics with a simple objective: explain health and wellness subjects in language that everyday readers can understand while maintaining an evidence-informed perspective.

The platform covers topics ranging from basic questions such as how much sleep people need and how digestion works to broader subjects including heart health, metabolic health, healthy ageing, strength training, nutrition, and natural wellness.

Rather than encouraging readers to follow every new health trend, HealthZeet focuses on helping them understand the context behind health information so they can make better-informed decisions.

Expanding Across Key Areas of Health and Wellness

HealthZeet’s growing editorial library is organised around several major areas of everyday health.

Its Health coverage includes digestive health, heart health, men’s health, women’s health, immunity, metabolic health, healthy ageing, and common everyday health concerns.

The Nutrition section explores healthy eating, vitamins and minerals, fruits and vegetables, protein, Indian nutrition, herbs and spices, and nutrient-dense foods.

Fitness coverage includes exercise, strength and mobility, weight management, fitness after 40, walking, and strategies for maintaining an active lifestyle.

HealthZeet also publishes educational content addressing sleep, stress management, mental wellbeing, self-care, healthy habits, and sustainable lifestyle practices.

Together, these subjects reflect the platform’s broader view that health is influenced by many interconnected factors, including food, physical activity, sleep, stress, preventive care, and everyday behaviour.

Bringing Indian Context Into Health Education

HealthZeet is being developed with the information needs of Indian readers in mind.

Nutrition recommendations and wellness discussions found online are often based on food habits and lifestyle patterns from other countries. While scientific evidence can have broad relevance, practical implementation frequently depends on culture, food availability, climate, lifestyle, age, and individual circumstances.

HealthZeet therefore aims to make its educational content more useful in an Indian context.

Articles may explore familiar Indian foods, traditional ingredients, regional eating habits, Indian dietary patterns, common lifestyle concerns, and wellness practices that readers are likely to encounter in everyday life.

Topics such as dal, millets, curd, Indian vegetables, spices, Amla, turmeric, Ashwagandha, Triphala, Shatavari, Tulsi, and other traditional ingredients can be examined alongside contemporary nutrition and scientific research.

Traditional Wellness Meets Modern Evidence

India has a rich history of traditional health practices and botanical knowledge. Interest in Ayurveda, herbal wellness, medicinal plants, and traditional remedies continues to grow both in India and internationally.

HealthZeet believes these subjects deserve thoughtful coverage.

Traditional use, however, is not automatically equivalent to scientifically established effectiveness.

For this reason, HealthZeet aims to distinguish between historical or traditional use, preliminary research, emerging evidence, and conclusions that have stronger scientific support.

The platform explores Ayurvedic herbs, herbal preparations, essential oils, traditional remedies, and natural wellness practices while also discussing available evidence, limitations, safety considerations, and responsible use.

This approach is intended to allow readers to appreciate traditional wellness knowledge without presenting every traditional claim as scientifically proven.

Helping Consumers Understand Wellness Products

The growth of India’s wellness industry has also created an increasingly complex marketplace of supplements, herbal products, essential oils, protein powders, fitness products, and other wellness products.

Consumers may encounter terms such as natural, premium, clinically researched, pure, lab tested, organic, or scientifically formulated. Understanding what these terms actually mean can be difficult.

HealthZeet is therefore developing educational buying guides designed to help readers evaluate wellness products more critically.

Coverage includes topics such as how to read supplement labels, how to assess herbal product quality, what to consider when purchasing essential oils, how different supplement formats compare, and what consumers should look for when evaluating wellness brands.

Where reviews or commercial content are published, HealthZeet aims to maintain transparency about methodology, relevant commercial relationships, and the basis on which products or brands are discussed.

Clear Information Without Wellness Hype

HealthZeet’s editorial philosophy is built around the idea that useful health communication does not need exaggerated promises.

Articles are intended to explain what is known, what remains uncertain, and where individual circumstances may affect the usefulness of general health information.

This is particularly important for subjects involving supplements, natural remedies, health conditions, and emerging wellness trends.

HealthZeet also recognises that online educational content cannot replace personalised medical advice. Readers with symptoms, diagnosed medical conditions, medication concerns, or questions requiring individual assessment are encouraged to consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

Building a Long-Term Health Knowledge Resource

The expansion of HealthZeet’s content library is part of a longer-term effort to create a comprehensive health and wellness knowledge destination for Indian readers.

Future editorial development will continue across preventive health, nutrition, fitness, natural wellness, healthy ageing, lifestyle, health conditions, ingredient guides, comparison guides, frequently asked health questions, and consumer buying education.

The platform also plans to continue strengthening its editorial processes as its health library grows.

HealthZeet’s goal is straightforward: help readers understand health information without unnecessary complexity, exaggerated promises, or confusing wellness jargon.

As India’s health and wellness audience becomes increasingly informed and digitally connected, HealthZeet intends to contribute by making credible health education easier to access and more practical for everyday life.

About HealthZeet

HealthZeet is an independent health and wellness information platform focused on making reliable health knowledge understandable and useful in everyday life. The platform publishes evidence-informed educational content across health, nutrition, natural wellness, fitness, healthy ageing, preventive health, lifestyle, health guides, and consumer wellness topics.

HealthZeet aims to combine clarity, responsible health communication, practical guidance, and an Indian perspective to help readers make better-informed decisions about their health and wellbeing.

Adding a distinctive spiritual dimension to the township is the proposed Shri Jagannath Temple, envisioned as a space for devotion, community interaction and spiritual connection.

The Vision of Adv. Praveen Bhati

The vision behind the development is led by Adv. Praveen Bhati, Founder & Chairman, OSR Group, whose approach focuses on creating organised real estate communities with an emphasis on trust, transparency, planned development and long-term value.

OSR Group operates through Omshri Realtech Pvt. Ltd. and has built a growing portfolio of real estate developments across North India, with projects planned around emerging locations, connectivity and evolving community requirements.

Speaking about the vision behind Shri Shyam Township, Adv. Praveen Bhati said:

“Shri Shyam Township is our effort to create more than a real estate project. We envision a destination where devotion, modern living, community infrastructure and future development come together in a thoughtfully planned environment.”

With the growing prominence of Shri Khatu Shyam Ji as a pilgrimage destination and continued infrastructure development across the surrounding region, Shri Shyam Township reflects OSR Group’s vision of creating a well-planned community close to one of Rajasthan’s important spiritual destinations.

Shri Shyam Township – A Landmark Inspired by Devotion. Designed for Modern Living.

Indians have always bought gold. What is changing in 2026 is how they buy it, and why.

New Delhi [India], October 17: August showed the shift clearly. Domestic gold prices rose 12% during the month to ₹1,58,854 per 10 grams, closely tracking a 13% jump in the global benchmark to US$4,386 an ounce, one of gold’s strongest monthly gains in nearly three decades. Yet jewellery counters did not see the rush you might expect. The money went to exchanges and apps instead.

The numbers behind the shift

Gold ETFs attracted net inflows of ₹2,596.70 crore in August, up from ₹1,559 crore in July, making it the third straight month of positive flows. Total gold ETF assets in India rose to roughly ₹1.91 lakh crore, backed by 121.3 tonnes of the metal. Year-to-date inflows into Indian gold ETFs stand at US$4.22 billion.

Digital gold is growing even faster. Purchases averaged around ₹2,500 crore a month from June to August, and August buying was up 110% from a year earlier. Trading activity picked up too. Average daily gold futures turnover on MCX climbed 38% month on month to about ₹29,500 crore, the highest in five months.

Physical demand, meanwhile, is cooling. India’s gold imports fell to US$2.3 billion in August, down 45% from July and 58% from a year earlier. Domestic prices are trading below import parity, with the discount widening to US$78 an ounce by 11 September, helped in part by customers exchanging old jewellery for new pieces.

The Indian household is not buying less gold. It is buying gold in a different form: units instead of ornaments, holdings instead of making charges.

Why the shift makes sense

Commenting on the shift, Mr. Dinesh Kumar Gurusamy, Founder & CEO, AETRAM GROUP OF COMPANIES said, “Jewellery carries costs that quietly eat into returns: making charges, GST, purity concerns and deductions at resale. A gold ETF unit trades on NSE and BSE, sits in the same demat account as your equities, and can be bought in small quantities. Pricing is transparent and liquidity is exchange-grade. There is portfolio logic as well. Financial planners treat gold as a stabiliser that can cushion a portfolio when equities turn volatile, not as a growth engine.”

The warning signs investors should not ignore

The same data carries a caution. Only about 4,000 new gold ETF folios were opened in August, against an average of around 3.3 lakh a month between January and July, taking total folios to 12.54 million. Existing investors are adding. New ones are hesitating.

That hesitation may be sensible. Wealth managers have flagged recency bias, pointing out that a similar rush into gold followed its January 2026 peak of about ₹1.75 lakh per 10 grams. Prices have already eased. Domestic gold was down 4.6% in September as of the 11th, as expectations around US Federal Reserve policy shifted. Anyone who bought at the August top is, for now, below cost.

Gold pays no dividend or interest. Its returns come entirely from price movement, and prices move in both directions.

A practical framework for Indian investors

Allocation over timing. Treat gold as a fixed share of the portfolio and rebalance periodically, rather than buying in bursts after sharp rallies.

Choose the regulated route. Gold ETFs and gold mutual funds fall under SEBI oversight. Digital gold sold through apps does not, so investors should understand who holds the metal and how redemption works.

Stagger entries. Systematic purchases smooth out swings like the one seen between August and September.

Separate consumption from investment. Buying jewellery for a wedding is a family decision. Buying gold to build wealth is a financial one, and the instruments should be different.

The road ahead

The World Gold Council expects demand to improve through the festive and wedding season, though elevated prices and volatility may keep discretionary buying in check. US interest rates, the dollar and central bank purchases will keep driving global prices, and for Indian investors the rupee adds another variable.

The direction of travel, however, is clear. Gold is moving steadily from the locker into the demat account. Investors who treat it as a hedge rather than a bet stand to benefit most from that shift.

New Delhi [India], October 16: As part of its commitment to deepening engagement in India and preparing learners for the future of work, Deakin University has established two landmark strategic partnerships with LinkedIn and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). Together, these collaborations strengthen the bridge between academia and industry, equipping learners with future-ready skills, valuable professional networks, and real-world opportunities to thrive in a rapidly evolving workforce.

The partnerships reflect Deakin’s continued commitment to working in India, with India and for India, bringing together education, industry expertise and workforce insights to bridge the gap between academic learning and the changing needs of employers.

Deakin and LinkedIn partner to strengthen career readiness and professional skills

Earlier this week, Deakin signed a partnership agreement with LinkedIn at its GIFT City campus in Gandhinagar, establishing a platform for collaboration around student employability, professional development and workforce readiness.

 Ms Saba Karim, India Head-SMB, Public Sector, Education at LinkedIn mentioned, “At LinkedIn, we believe opportunity begins with the right skills and connections. Our partnership with Deakin will help equip students with workforce insights, professional networks, and career-ready capabilities to thrive in the jobs of tomorrow.”

Key areas of engagement include professional branding and profile development, career readiness, networking, job-search strategies, interview preparation and insights into emerging skills and labour-market trends. The collaboration will also explore opportunities for student and faculty engagement, leadership development and knowledge-sharing on artificial intelligence (AI), evolving job roles and the future of work.

Through potential initiatives such as professional development workshops, career-focused sessions, industry interactions and access to workforce insights, the partnership seeks to strengthen the connection between students’ academic experiences and their career aspirations. Opportunities for leadership engagement and thought leadership will further support conversations around the skills and capabilities needed in a rapidly changing world of work.

The agreement reinforces Deakin’s approach to employability as an integral part of the learning experience at the GIFT City Campus, ensuring learning translates into opportunity.

Deakin and CII advance the Global Job Readiness Program for India’s evolving workforce

Building on its focus on industry-aligned education and skills development, Deakin University signed an agreement with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) at the Australian High Commission in New Delhi today to advance the Global Job Readiness Program (GJRP), its flagship skilling and continuous learning program.

A significant milestone in the partnership is the program’s approval by the National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET). This enables the program to be integrated into university curricula and support credit recognition in alignment with India’s National Education Policy (NEP) skills-development framework, subject to applicable requirements.

Mr Sougata Roy Choudhury, Executive Director, CII, welcomed the collaboration, stating, “The Global Job Readiness Program is an important step towards interfacing education and industry expectations. By equipping learners with skills that are relevant to today’s employment landscape and aligning the programme with India’s national skills framework, we aim to strengthen employability and create pathways for universities to integrate job-readiness learning into formal higher education.”

Following the successful completion of the first phase of the partnership, CII is taking the program to market, with a focus on institutional outreach, awareness-building and enrolments across universities and higher-education institutions.

The program will be delivered 100% online with flexibility, much needed for young learners and professionals, and certification arrangements are aligned with applicable National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET) guidelines.

Through this model, Deakin and CII aim to expand access to structured job-readiness learning and strengthen the role of industry in preparing graduates for employment.

At the same event, CII exchanged LoIs with five Indian institutions to strengthen collaboration, including efforts to expand the reach of the Global Job Readiness Program and extend its benefits to students across their campuses. The participating institutions include Rukmani Devi Institute of Advanced Studies, Gateway Institute of Engineering and Technology, University of Engineering and Management (UEM), Jaipur, AAFT University, and Inderprastha Engineering College.

George Thiveos, Minister Counsellor Education and Research, South Asia for the Australian Gov, Dept of Education, welcomed the initiative and said, “Deakin and CII are both institutions that are very well established and at the forefront of their respective fields, and I find them very well matched for this initiative.”

“The government can play a critical role through policy and create pathways for meaningful B2B collaboration. I see India and Australia contributing meaningfully towards India’s goal for Viksit Bharat 2047.”

Mukund Narayanamurti, Minister (Commercial), General Manager and Head of Austrade South Asia, added, “Deakin has rendered significant contribution to bilateral cooperation and there cannot be a more impactful partner to Deakin than CII. The work of CII and Deakin aligns with a lot of our objectives such as advancing workforce capabilities, graduate readiness with a lens on enhancing employability.”

Expressing her thoughts on these key initiatives, Ravneet Pawha, Vice President (Global Engagement) and CEO (South Asia), Deakin University, said, “The future of work will be shaped by collaboration. Through our partnerships with LinkedIn and CII, we are creating meaningful pathways that connect learning with opportunity and prepare learners to thrive in a changing world.”

“I am truly optimistic about the far-reaching impact that can be created through these partnerships and look forward to young students and professionals taking advantage of this.”

Together, the partnerships with LinkedIn and CII demonstrate Deakin’s multi-dimensional approach to future-of-work readiness: connecting students with professional networks and workforce insights while advancing structured, industry-aligned skills development through institutional collaboration.

As AI, digital technologies and changing workforce expectations reshape employment, collaboration between universities, industry bodies and professional platforms is increasingly important to ensure that education remains relevant to emerging opportunities. Hence, Deakin continues to build connections between education and industry, with a shared focus on helping learners develop the skills, confidence and capabilities to succeed in a dynamic global economy.

About Deakin University: Established in 1974, Deakin University successfully combines excellence in teaching, research and effective partnerships with industry and government to deliver high-quality courses and undertake research that makes a difference to the domestic and international communities it serves.

New Delhi [India], October 16: In a world that celebrates business growth, market leadership, financial achievements, and professional recognition, an important question often remains unasked: Are successful people truly at peace with themselves? Dr Rakesh Chopra invites accomplished individuals to reflect on this question and explore a deeper dimension of success that goes beyond wealth, influence, prestige, and professional accomplishments.

For many business leaders, reaching the top represents years of determination, strategic thinking, difficult decisions, and sustained effort. They build enterprises, establish market leadership, earn the respect of their peers, and create lasting professional legacies. From the outside, their lives may appear complete. However, behind these achievements, some may experience pressures and personal questions that rarely find space in everyday conversations.

The Unseen Thresholds Behind Professional Success

Professional success often brings greater responsibility and higher expectations. As leaders advance in their careers, more people depend on their decisions, and the consequences of their choices become increasingly significant. While colleagues and business networks may celebrate their achievements, fewer people may ask how they are managing the personal demands that accompany their positions.

The journey to the top can involve solitary decisions made during difficult hours, the emotional weight of responsibility, and changes in relationships as professional priorities evolve. Leaders often carry the lonely weight of not being able to share their personal concerns openly with board members, colleagues, friends or family, because of the expectations attached to their position.

These experiences highlight a paradox of achievement: the higher individuals rise professionally, the more difficult it can become to find a private space where they can speak honestly about their lives without the influence of their public identity.

Dr Rakesh Chopra’s message encourages accomplished individuals to acknowledge these realities rather than assuming that continued achievement will automatically bring lasting satisfaction.

When the Next Achievement Is No Longer the Answer

For driven professionals, setting goals and pursuing new milestones can become a natural part of life. Each achievement creates opportunities for further growth, and the next business target often provides a fresh sense of direction. Yet there may come a point when another accomplishment no longer answers the deeper questions an individual carries.

At this stage, the search for fulfilment can become less about acquiring more and more about understanding what truly matters.

Questions about peace of mind, personal relationships, identity, and the meaning of success may begin to take greater importance. Leaders may wonder whether their daily decisions reflect their deepest values, whether their relationships extend beyond professional interests, and whether their current lifestyle supports the kind of life they genuinely want to lead.

This reflection does not diminish professional ambition. Instead, it offers an opportunity to consider how ambition, personal fulfilment, and inner peace can coexist.

Creating Space for Honest Self-Reflection

According to the message shared by Dr Rakesh Chopra, accomplished leaders may not need another strategy session or motivational speech as much as they need a confidential space for meaningful contemplation.

Such a space allows individuals to temporarily set aside their professional titles, responsibilities, and public image. Without the pressure to demonstrate strength or provide answers for others, they can examine their thoughts, priorities, and personal aspirations more honestly.

This process can involve exploring several important questions: What do I genuinely want from the years ahead? Where does lasting peace of mind come from? How can I develop a calmer mind that is not dependent on business results? How can I build relationships based on genuine connection rather than transactions? And who am I becoming through the choices I make every day?

These questions invite leaders to look beyond external measures of success and consider the quality of their inner lives.

Building Connections Beyond Business

Professional networks are often built around shared objectives, partnerships, opportunities, and business outcomes. While these relationships can be valuable, meaningful personal connections also require trust, openness, and the freedom to be understood beyond one’s achievements.

For accomplished individuals, creating room for these deeper connections can become an important part of personal reflection. Understanding their own needs and values may help them approach relationships with greater awareness and authenticity.

Similarly, cultivating a calmer mind involves examining how personal wellbeing is connected to expectations, responsibilities, and the constant pursuit of results. The aim is to develop a perspective in which peace of mind is not entirely determined by the next target, business decision, or external recognition.

The Next Investment Is in Yourself

Dr Rakesh Chopra’s invitation is directed towards individuals who have built something extraordinary but sense that a deeper dimension of life remains unexplored. It encourages them to consider whether their next chapter should focus exclusively on further achievements or also make room for personal understanding and inner freedom.

The central message is that success need not be measured only through financial growth, influence, or tangible accomplishments. It can also involve developing a more peaceful relationship with oneself, strengthening meaningful connections, and becoming more conscious of the person one is choosing to become.

Through an exclusive, confidential conversation, accomplished individuals are invited to explore these questions and reflect on what genuine fulfilment means at their current stage of life.

The ultimate aspiration is not simply to achieve more, but to experience absolute inner freedom: a state in which personal peace is not constantly dependent on external circumstances.

For those who have reached significant professional milestones, the next meaningful step may begin with a different kind of question, not what more can be achieved, but what kind of life is worth building from here.

Who Is Dr Rakesh Chopra?

Dr Rakesh Chopra is a Visionary Strategist & Transformational Leadership Mentor. He brings more than forty years of experience in the fields of medicine, business management and spirituality to his work while mentoring ambitious leaders.

New Delhi [India], October 16: Legal proceedings can become challenging when a case is filed in a court far from where one of the parties lives or when attending hearings creates significant practical difficulties. In such situations, a transfer petition may provide a legal remedy, subject to the applicable law and the circumstances of the case. Transfer petitions before the Supreme Court of India are particularly relevant in certain civil disputes, including matrimonial matters in which spouses live in different states.

Understanding how transfer petitions work, when they may be filed, and what factors the court considers can help individuals make informed decisions. For people dealing with divorce proceedings, family disputes, or other eligible cases, seeking guidance from a qualified lawyer or advocate familiar with Supreme Court procedures can be an important step.

What Is a Transfer Petition in the Supreme Court?

A transfer petition is an application requesting that a case be moved from one court to another. The request may arise when a party believes that continuing proceedings in the existing court would cause substantial inconvenience, create practical difficulties, or raise other legally relevant concerns.

The Supreme Court of India has the authority to transfer certain civil cases between courts in different states under Section 25 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The court exercises this power according to the law and the specific facts presented before it. Other transfer requests may fall under different statutory provisions, depending on the nature of the proceedings.

A transfer is not automatic simply because one party finds the existing location inconvenient. The applicant generally needs to explain the circumstances supporting the request and provide relevant documents. The court considers the interests of justice and other applicable factors before reaching a decision.

Individuals seeking information about the filing process can refer to this guide on filing a transfer petition in the Supreme Court of India.

Why Are Transfer Petitions Filed in Matrimonial Disputes?

Matrimonial disputes are among the situations in which transfer petitions may become relevant. After a marriage breaks down, spouses may live in different cities or states. Divorce proceedings, maintenance applications, and other family-related cases can therefore involve travel, financial expenses, work commitments, childcare responsibilities, and other practical concerns.

For example, one spouse may initiate divorce proceedings in a city where the other spouse no longer resides. Attending hearings may require repeated long-distance travel and time away from employment or family responsibilities. In appropriate circumstances, the affected party may consider seeking a transfer of the proceedings.

However, the decision depends on the facts of each case. Courts may examine the circumstances of both parties, the stage of the proceedings, the nature of the dispute, and the practical implications of transferring the matter. The court’s objective is to determine whether a transfer is justified under the applicable law, rather than simply accepting one party’s preference.

A person considering a transfer divorce case application in the Supreme Court should first understand which court has jurisdiction and which legal provision applies to the particular proceeding.

Transfer of Divorce Cases in the Supreme Court

A divorce case may involve several procedural and personal considerations when spouses live in different locations. In some cases, a transfer petition is filed to request that proceedings be moved to a court that is more suitable under the circumstances.

Before filing, the applicant should gather information about the existing case, including the court where it is pending, the case number, the parties involved, the nature of the proceedings, and the reasons for requesting a transfer. Supporting documents may include copies of relevant court orders, pleadings, residence details, and other evidence relevant to the grounds raised.

The application must satisfy the procedural requirements applicable to the matter. The other party may also have an opportunity to respond, and the court will decide the request based on the record and applicable legal principles.

People searching online for the “best transfer petition lawyer” or “transfer petition advocate in the Supreme Court” should focus on professional qualifications, experience with relevant proceedings, and familiarity with filing requirements. Clear communication about the likely process, documentation, costs, and limitations can also help clients understand what to expect.

Transfer of Matrimonial Cases: Factors Courts May Consider

A transfer matrimonial case application may involve more than one practical concern. Courts assess the circumstances presented by the parties rather than relying on a single universal rule.

Relevant considerations may include:

• The distance between the parties’ places of residence and the court where the case is pending.
• The financial and practical difficulties associated with attending hearings.
• Childcare responsibilities or other circumstances affecting a party’s ability to participate in proceedings.
• The stage of the existing case and the effect a transfer could have on its progress.
• The convenience of both parties and the interests of justice.
• Any other circumstances relevant under the applicable law.

These factors do not guarantee that a transfer will be granted. Each application is assessed on its own merits, and the court may consider additional issues depending on the nature of the proceedings.

Legal advice can help applicants understand which facts are relevant and how to present them accurately. It can also help prevent unnecessary delays caused by incomplete documentation or procedural errors.

Who Is the Best Transfer Petition Lawyer?

There is no single lawyer who can be described as the best choice for every transfer petition. The appropriate advocate depends on the nature of the case, the applicable law, the lawyer’s experience, and the needs of the individual seeking assistance.

When evaluating a transfer petition lawyer for a Supreme Court matter, individuals may consider the advocate’s professional qualifications, experience handling similar applications, familiarity with Supreme Court filing procedures, and ability to explain legal options clearly.

It is also useful to ask about the expected documentation, procedural steps, professional fees, and possible timelines. A responsible legal professional should explain that the outcome depends on the facts and the court’s assessment rather than promising a particular result.

People often use both “lawyer” and “advocate” when searching online for legal assistance. Searches such as “best transfer petition lawyer,” “transfer petition advocate in Supreme Court,” and “lawyer for transfer of divorce case” reflect different ways of describing a similar need for legal guidance.

Individuals can explore legal information through Caveat India and review the legal services information available through TAPS9. Before engaging any professional, users should independently verify qualifications, enrolment, relevant experience, and the scope of the services offered.

Understanding the Supreme Court Filing Process

Filing a transfer petition involves identifying the appropriate legal provision, preparing the application, assembling supporting documents, and complying with applicable court rules.

The precise procedure varies according to the type of case and the law under which the transfer is sought. An advocate may review the case documents, identify the grounds being relied upon, prepare the necessary pleadings, and guide the applicant through filing and subsequent procedural requirements.

Accuracy is important throughout this process. The facts stated in the application should be supported by available records, and all required documents should be prepared according to the applicable rules. Applicants should also understand that filing an application does not mean the requested relief will automatically be granted.

The time required for a decision can vary depending on the case, procedural requirements, the court’s schedule, and whether further responses or hearings are necessary. Applicants should seek case-specific guidance rather than relying on general estimates as a guarantee.

What Is a Caveat in the Supreme Court?

A caveat is a procedural safeguard that allows a person who anticipates an application affecting their interests to request an opportunity to be heard before the court passes certain orders, where the relevant law provides for it.

Under Section 148A of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, a caveat may be relevant in eligible civil proceedings. The provision sets out requirements concerning the caveat, including notice to the person expected to make the application and the caveator’s entitlement to receive notice of the application.

A caveat does not decide the underlying dispute, nor does it guarantee that the court will reject the opposing party’s request. Its purpose is to help ensure that the caveator has an opportunity to participate in the relevant proceedings in accordance with the law.

Whether a caveat is appropriate in a particular Supreme Court matter depends on the nature of the anticipated application, the applicable legal provisions, and the relevant court rules. Individuals should obtain professional advice to determine the correct procedure and the duration or renewal requirements, if applicable.

People looking for information about a caveat in the Supreme Court should also distinguish between filing a caveat and filing a transfer petition. These are different procedural steps and serve different purposes, even though both may arise in connection with ongoing or anticipated litigation.

Documents and Preparation Before Seeking Legal Assistance

Preparation can help make a legal consultation more productive. A person considering a transfer petition may wish to keep copies of the existing case papers, relevant orders, details of the court where the case is pending, and documents that explain the circumstances supporting the request.

In matrimonial matters, information about the parties’ current residences, employment, travel difficulties, dependent children, and other relevant circumstances may be useful where applicable. The documents required will depend on the case and the legal grounds being raised.

For a caveat, the person should provide details of the anticipated proceedings and the relevant parties so that a lawyer can determine the appropriate filing requirements.

Individuals should share accurate information with their legal representative and retain copies of filed documents and acknowledgements. They should also clarify professional fees and the expected scope of legal services before proceeding.

Transfer of Criminal Cases in the Supreme Court

Transfer petitions may also be filed in certain criminal cases when circumstances justify moving proceedings from one court to another under the applicable law. The Supreme Court of India has the power to transfer criminal cases and appeals under Section 446 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, subject to the relevant legal requirements. Factors such as the interests of justice, a fair trial, and circumstances affecting the proper conduct of proceedings may be relevant. Since criminal transfer petitions involve specific procedural requirements, individuals should consult a qualified advocate to understand the appropriate legal remedy for their case.

The Importance of Informed Legal Decisions

Transfer petitions and caveats are important procedural mechanisms, but they should be considered in the context of the applicable law and the facts of each matter. A transfer request may help address legitimate difficulties in attending court proceedings, while a caveat may help a person seek an opportunity to be heard before certain orders are passed.

Neither procedure guarantees a particular outcome. Courts make decisions based on the relevant legal provisions, the material placed before them, and the circumstances of each case.

For individuals navigating divorce proceedings, matrimonial disputes, or other eligible civil matters, understanding the difference between available legal remedies is an important starting point. Consulting a qualified advocate with relevant experience can help clarify the process, identify necessary documents, and explain the options available under Indian law.

As access to legal information continues to expand online, individuals should evaluate information carefully, verify professional credentials, and seek advice tailored to their circumstances before taking legal action.

Reported 5.10 crore share bulk deal at ₹14.43 adds fresh excitement to PC Jeweller’s debt-free transformation and improving growth outlook.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 16: PC Jeweller Ltd is emerging as one of the closely watched turnaround stories in India’s jewellery sector, with fresh investor attention following reports that Aditya Kumar Halwasiya, associated with Cupid Ltd, purchased 5.10 crore shares worth approximately ₹73.59 crore* through a bulk deal.

The reported transaction, executed at an average price of ₹14.43 per share, comes at a crucial time for PC Jeweller as the company moves beyond financial restructuring and focuses on rebuilding growth momentum.

Aditya Kumar Halwasiya’s Reported Entry Adds Fresh Momentum

The reported acquisition has attracted attention because of both its substantial size and its timing.

A ₹73.59 crore equity purchase is a notable transaction, particularly in a company undergoing a major financial transformation.

Halwasiya’s association with Cupid Ltd adds to investor interest, while PC Jeweller’s recent developments provide a potentially compelling backdrop for the transaction.

Although the reported bulk deal does not establish the investor’s long-term intentions, it brings additional visibility to the company’s recovery story.

From Debt Restructuring to Debt-Free Growth

One of the biggest developments for PC Jeweller has been its reported achievement of debt-free status after repaying outstanding bank borrowings ahead of schedule.

This milestone could fundamentally change how investors assess the company’s financial position.

With reduced financing obligations, PC Jeweller may benefit from greater financial flexibility, improved earnings potential, and an increased ability to fund business growth.

For a company that has spent years navigating financial challenges, the completion of bank-debt repayment represents an important turning point.

Strong Revenue Momentum Reinforces the Recovery

PC Jeweller’s operational performance has also shown encouraging signs.

The company reported approximately 28% year-on-year consolidated revenue growth in the second quarter of FY27, alongside the recovery of approximately ₹142 crore in outstanding export receivables.

These developments suggest that the recovery narrative is supported by improving business activity rather than financial restructuring alone.

The combination of revenue growth, lower financing obligations, and improved working-capital recovery could strengthen the company’s earnings outlook if sustained.

Could PC Jeweller Be Entering a Valuation Re-Rating Phase?

Investors often reassess a company’s valuation when its financial risk declines and earnings prospects improve.

PC Jeweller now has several potential catalysts:

• Debt-free transformation: A stronger balance sheet could reduce financial risk and improve flexibility.
• Revenue recovery: Reported double-digit sales growth supports the operational turnaround

Patiala (Punjab) [India], October 16: Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology (TIET), Patiala, has won two honours at the FICCI Higher Education Excellence Awards 2026: University of the Year 2026 and Excellence in Digital Transformation 2026. The recognition coincides with the institute’s 70th Founders’ Day, marking seven decades of contributions to higher education, research and innovation.

The awards recognise the institute’s efforts to strengthen academic excellence and research while advancing digital capabilities through artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing and emerging technologies.

The 12th FICCI Higher Education Excellence Awards were conferred on October 8, 2026, during the inaugural session of the 21st FICCI Higher Education Summit at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, held on the theme “Higher Education for a New World: Reform, Resilience and Relevance”. The awards were presented by Dr Murli Manohar Joshi, Padma Vibhushan awardee and former Union Minister of Human Resource Development. The session was also attended by Dr R. Balasubramaniam, Member, NITI Aayog, Mr Anant Swarup, Secretary General, FICCI, and Dr Vidya Yeravdekar, Chair, FICCI Higher Education Committee and Chancellor, Symbiosis International University. Vice-chancellors, educationists, policymakers and industry leaders from across the country also took part.

Speaking about the recognition, Prof. Padmakumar Nair, Vice Chancellor, Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, said, “An award like University of the Year is not a verdict on what we have achieved; it is a reminder of what we owe. Excellence is never a finished state. For an institution turning seventy, the more important question is whether we continue to produce young people of good judgment, people who can make sound decisions when the answers are not obvious. That is the standard we intend to hold ourselves to as we begin our next decade, with humility about how far we still have to go and confidence that we are on the right path.”

The University of the Year 2026 award recognises TIET’s contributions to higher education through academic excellence, research, innovation and its commitment to creating meaningful learning experiences for students.

The Excellence in Digital Transformation 2026 award recognises TIET’s efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into teaching, learning and research across disciplines. This includes AI education for students across programmes, supported by the Thapar School of Advanced AI & Data Science (TSAAI), established through a technical collaboration with NVIDIA. The institute’s advanced AI computing infrastructure further enables students and researchers to explore real-world applications of emerging technologies.

President AHAR Vijay K Shetty

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 16: The Indian Hotel and Restaurant Association (AHAR) has announced an impending 10% to 15% increase in restaurant menu prices across its member establishments in Mumbai, citing sustained increases in the cost of preparing and serving food. The revision follows several months during which restaurants absorbed higher expenses to limit the impact on customers.

AHAR President Shri Vijay K Shetty said, “For the city’s restaurant sector, the challenge extends beyond the price of any single commodity. Cooking fuel, everyday ingredients, commercial rents, employee wages and transportation have become more expensive. With these costs rising together, establishments face growing pressure on the margins that support daily operations.”

Recent reports illustrate the pressure on everyday kitchen essentials. Consumer Affairs Department data reported year-on-year price increases of nearly 113% for onions, approximately 22% for sugar and 18% for sunflower oil. Separately, local market coverage reported retail increases of Rs 20 to Rs 30 per kg for major pulses across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region in recent weeks. For restaurants purchasing these ingredients daily, such increases affect preparation costs across a wide range of dishes.

Beyond ingredient prices, AHAR reported a 100% increase in commercial LPG cylinder prices, sharply raising kitchen fuel expenses. Higher milk and dairy prices have added to the cost of core menu items. Wages and workforce expenses have also risen as restaurants support staff facing higher living costs, while increasing commercial rents have added to fixed overheads and squeezed operating margins

AHAR said the proposed adjustment reflects the cumulative burden of higher procurement and operating expenses. Even where individual ingredient prices stabilise or ease temporarily, restaurants continue to carry higher recurring costs. The cost of a meal includes the people who prepare and serve it, the premises in which it is served, and the hygiene, maintenance and utilities required to keep a kitchen functioning consistently.

The association emphasised that the revision is intended to recover a portion of the additional expenditure while maintaining food quality and service standards. Continuing to absorb the full increase, it said, has become increasingly difficult for operators.

Affordability remains an important consideration in a city where restaurants serve both occasional diners and customers who rely on them for everyday meals. AHAR acknowledged that any menu adjustment affects household spending, making it necessary to balance customer expectations with the practical requirements of running a viable establishment.

The forthcoming revision reflects that balance: preserving the standards customers expect while allowing restaurants to meet their operating commitments and retain the staff on whom service depends.

Revised prices are expected to be introduced progressively over the coming weeks across dine-in, quick-service and delivery menus. AHAR’s position is that a measured adjustment has become necessary to sustain dependable restaurant service in Mumbai as the underlying cost of providing it continues to rise.

New Delhi [India], October 16: Author and Bureaucrat, Shubhra Saxena launched her book, ‘It Matters A Lot ‘, published by Rupa Publications, at the India Habitat Center on 16th October 2026. The event was attended by Mr. Gurcharan Das, Author and Former CEO of Procter & Gamble India; Mr. Pavan K. Verma, Author, Former Diplomat & Former MP, Rajya Sabha; Prof. Kusum Lata Kedia, Author and Former Director, Gandhi Vidya Sansthan, Varanasi; Ms. Abha Sharma, Author & Life Coach; and Dr. Shweta Mathur Lall, Author & Senior Consultant, Apollo Hospitals.

Featuring a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, ‘It Matters A Lot’ explores the experiences, relationships and choices that shape people through different stages of life. From childhood and adolescence to adulthood, midlife and old age, the book examines how family, upbringing, social expectations, ambition, success, failure, love and loss influence the way people see themselves and the world around them.

The book encourages readers to question assumptions they may have accepted without reflection. Is success the same as fulfilment? How much of what we pursue is genuinely our own choice? What does it mean to live well when life does not unfold as expected?

Each chapter concludes with questions designed to help readers reflect on their own experiences, beliefs and decisions. Rather than offering a set formula for happiness or success, the book creates space for readers to understand themselves more deeply and consider how they wish to live.

At its heart, ‘It Matters A Lot’ explores the connection between self-awareness and conscious living. By recognising the thoughts, emotions and patterns that shape our actions, readers are invited to make more considered choices and respond to life with greater clarity. The book also considers how self-understanding can nurture empathy, compassion and a stronger sense of responsibility towards others.

In a world marked by constant stimulation and distraction, Saxena’s book offers readers an opportunity to pause and reflect on what gives their lives meaning. It presents conscious living as a continuing journey, one that begins with understanding oneself and extends to the way one relates to other people and the wider world.

Shubhra Saxena added, “Through ‘It Matters A Lot’, I hope to encourage readers to pause and reflect on the lives they are living. Greater self-understanding can help us make more conscious choices, approach others with empathy and discover what truly matters to us.”

‘It Matters A Lot’ is authored by Shubhra Saxena, features a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and is published by Rupa Publications.

Turning Complex Information into Strategic Intelligence

Life sciences organizations operate in an environment shaped by scientific progress, regulatory developments, changing treatment approaches, manufacturing requirements and commercial competition. Understanding these factors individually is important, but evaluating how they influence one another can be equally critical.

Its analyst coverage spans more than 80 countries, supporting research into markets with different commercial conditions, regulatory environments and development priorities.

This international perspective is particularly relevant for organizations assessing opportunities across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Its work can support established pharmaceutical businesses, emerging biotechnology companies, healthcare technology providers and investment organizations at different stages of strategic planning.

Building Long-Term Research Partnerships

The company’s broader objective is to establish itself as a research-led, technology-enabled intelligence partner that supports clients beyond individual research assignments. This includes developing customized analytical approaches, strengthening access to relevant intelligence and helping organizations respond to changing industry conditions.

Under the leadership of CEO Gaurav Chaudhary, Roots Analysis continues to focus on specialized research, analytical depth and technology-enabled intelligence as complementary parts of its business.

As life sciences markets become increasingly interconnected, organizations need research partners capable of examining both individual market developments and their wider strategic implications.

Three fiery flavours and a protein punch: the Diwali perfect gift that gets opened first

New Delhi [India], October 16: Every year, corporate India sends out the same festive snack box: a namkeen packet that goes soggy before anyone opens it, a bag of chips that is mostly air, and a deep-fried mixture that tastes exactly like last year’s. It is familiar, and it is forgotten by the first Monday after Diwali.

PROMUNCH, India’s leading high-protein snacking brand, has a better idea. Its new Corporate Diwali Edamame Hampers give the festive gift box a full makeover, combining serious nutrition with flavours loud enough to compete with the crackers outside.

The new star of the box: At the centre of every hamper is roasted edamame. These edamame beans are roasted in olive oil and deliver 45g of protein per 100g. That leaves regular chips and namkeen far behind. The snack is ready to eat straight from the pack and filling enough to satisfy, so one handful does more than an entire packet of the usual fried fare. It fits just as well beside a laptop during a 4 pm slump as it does on a Diwali platter at home.

Three flavours, three personalities

• Masala Mania: fiery, bold and impossible to ignore, like a rocket on Diwali night
• Indori Chatka: tangy, cheeky and straight out of Indore’s famous food lanes
• Himalayan Rock Salt: cool, classic and confident enough not to shout

Easy to approve, Easy to enjoy

Priced at INR 555 and INR 999, the hampers are designed to make corporate festive gifting simple. They are thoughtful enough for senior clients, practical enough for large teams, and different enough to stand out among the gift boxes piling up on reception desks across the country.

Already trusted where it counts!

The hampers come from a brand that India already knows. PROMUNCH snacks are stocked in corporate pantries, airports and vending machines, and are served by leading hospitality brands including Radisson, Novotel, Marriott and Bloom Hotels. The brand also has an established presence in corporate gifting and serves over 1 million consumers globally.

Parth Mutha, Founder of PROMUNCH, says, “For years, savoury snacking in India has meant the same fried options in different packets. We wanted to break that routine. A corporate Diwali gift represents the company that sends it, so it should be as thoughtful as the relationship behind it. Our edamame is one of the most protein-packed snacks you can find, and we have given it flavours bold enough to start conversations. When someone opens a PROMUNCH hamper, we want their first reaction to be curiosity and their second to be ‘Where can I get more of this?’ Our goal is to become India’s most trusted name in healthy snacking, and these hampers show that nourishing food can also be exciting.”

Beyond the festive box

The hampers are part of PROMUNCH’s roasted edamame range, which delivers across India. The range includes a travel combo of nine 25g pouches for desk drawers, flights and back-to-back meetings, as well as single-flavour packs of two and three starting at INR 400.

The Corporate Diwali Edamame Hampers and the full range are available on the PROMUNCH website and on Amazon.

About PROMUNCH

PROMUNCH is leading India’s shift from empty-calorie munching to high-protein snacking. Its range brings together healthy, guilt-free nutrition and seriously tasty Indian flavours, and it sets a new standard for what a snack should deliver. Its snacks are found in corporate pantries, airports, vending machines and leading hotels, and are enjoyed by more than 1 million consumers globally. With over 30 million grams of protein delivered and counting, PROMUNCH is proof that India is ready to snack smarter. To know more, visit promunch.in.

New Delhi [India], October 16: Kyptec LifeStyle®, an Indian consumer audio brand operating under BalaJi MicroTechnologies Pvt. Ltd., part of the B.B. Group of Companies, continues to strengthen its presence in India’s personal audio market through Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Bluetooth Headphones. Designed for consumers who enjoy powerful bass, immersive entertainment and comfortable wireless listening, these over ear headphones combine Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, large 40mm audio drivers, four built in microphones, low latency connectivity and up to 50 hours of advertised battery performance.

Music, films and gaming have become an important part of everyday digital entertainment, influencing how consumers select personal audio products. Buyers exploring Bluetooth headphones increasingly consider sound reproduction, bass performance, noise cancellation, wireless connectivity and long battery endurance. Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Wireless Headphones bring these features together in a lightweight design suited to music enthusiasts, entertainment lovers, mobile gamers and individuals who prefer an immersive over ear listening experience.

With listeners paying greater attention to audio quality and comfort, Kyptec LifeStyle® continues to focus on products that combine practical technology with contemporary styling. Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Headphones reflect this approach through their entertainment focused sound characteristics, noise reduction capabilities and extended playback performance, offering consumers a versatile audio solution for personal listening, communication and daily travel.

Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation for Immersive Music and Entertainment

Background noise can interrupt music, films and other forms of entertainment, particularly when listening in shared environments, public transportation or busy households. Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Bluetooth Headphones incorporate Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation technology designed to reduce selected external sounds and support a more focused listening experience.

For consumers considering noise cancelling headphones, the ability to enjoy music and entertainment with fewer surrounding distractions can be an important purchase consideration. Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Wireless Headphones combine Hybrid ANC technology with an over ear design, making them suitable for listeners who prefer a more enclosed audio experience while enjoying their favourite entertainment.

Hybrid ANC uses feedforward and feedback microphone arrangements to detect environmental sound and generate an opposing audio signal that helps reduce certain unwanted frequencies. This technology works alongside passive noise isolation provided by the headphone design. Its effectiveness depends on factors such as surrounding noise, frequency characteristics and the fit of the ear cushions.

Whether enjoying a favourite playlist, watching a film during travel or following spoken content at home, Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Headphones are designed to help listeners concentrate on their audio without being continuously distracted by suitable background sounds. The technology adds everyday convenience while supporting the product’s broader emphasis on entertainment and personal listening comfort.

Powerful 40mm Audio Drivers for Deep Bass and Rich Sound Reproduction

Sound quality is a major consideration for consumers who regularly listen to music, stream films or enjoy gaming. Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Headphones feature large 40mm audio drivers designed to deliver premium bass reproduction, clear vocals and an engaging listening experience across different types of digital content.

The headphones place particular emphasis on deep bass performance, making them relevant for listeners who enjoy energetic music, strong rhythm sections and impactful low frequency sound. From contemporary pop and electronic music to hip hop, Bollywood soundtracks and cinematic entertainment, Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Bluetooth Headphones are positioned to provide an immersive listening experience with an emphasis on bass and overall audio engagement.

Consumers comparing over ear headphones often consider how effectively a product reproduces vocals, instruments, background effects and low frequency sounds. While driver diameter alone does not determine overall audio quality, the 40mm driver configuration provides a foundation for the sound characteristics of Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Wireless Headphones. The combination of larger drivers, Hybrid ANC and comfortable over ear construction is intended to make extended entertainment sessions more enjoyable.

For music enthusiasts seeking deep bass headphones, the experience involves more than loudness. Comfortable listening, controlled volume, vocal clarity and the ability to appreciate different elements of a recording are equally important. Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Headphones bring these considerations together through their sound focused design and wireless convenience.

Low Latency Audio for Gaming, Movies and Video Entertainment

Audio timing plays an important role when watching films, streaming videos or playing games. A noticeable delay between an on screen event and its corresponding sound can affect the overall experience, particularly during fast moving entertainment.

Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Bluetooth Headphones incorporate low latency functionality intended to reduce delays between compatible video content and audio playback. This feature is relevant for consumers who enjoy mobile gaming, action films, online videos and other entertainment where closer coordination between picture and sound contributes to the listening experience.

For buyers researching wireless gaming headphones, sound reproduction and latency performance are both important considerations. The combination of 40mm audio drivers, premium bass characteristics and low latency connectivity makes Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Wireless Headphones relevant for casual gaming and multimedia entertainment.

Actual latency depends on the connected device, application, wireless conditions and supported operating modes. The headphones are designed to provide a versatile entertainment experience without limiting their use to gaming alone, allowing consumers to move between music, films, online communication and everyday listening.

Four Built In Microphones for Clear Calling and Communication

Although entertainment is a major focus of Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Headphones, voice communication remains an important requirement for modern wireless audio products. The headphones feature a quad microphone configuration intended to support voice pickup during telephone calls, online discussions and everyday digital communication.

The four built in microphones complement the listening features of the headphones, allowing consumers to switch between entertainment and communication without changing audio devices. This flexibility is useful for students attending online classes, professionals participating in virtual meetings and individuals who regularly communicate through their smartphones or laptops.

Consumers selecting Bluetooth headphones with mic capabilities often consider call clarity alongside sound quality, comfort and battery performance. Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Bluetooth Headphones combine multiple microphones with their wireless audio functionality, supporting a practical balance between entertainment and communication.

Actual call performance depends on surrounding noise, wireless connectivity, microphone positioning and network conditions. Nevertheless, the quad microphone arrangement provides a useful feature for listeners who want headphones capable of supporting both recreational and routine communication needs.

Up to 50 Hours of Battery Life for Extended Listening

Battery endurance is an important factor for consumers who regularly listen to music, watch entertainment or use wireless audio while travelling. Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Wireless Headphones offer up to 50 hours of advertised playback, helping reduce the need for frequent charging during everyday use.

The product also features an approximately two hour charging time, allowing users to recharge between entertainment sessions, work activities and travel plans. Extended battery performance can be particularly valuable during long journeys, weekend activities and periods when convenient charging access is limited.

For listeners seeking headphones with long battery life, the ability to combine extended playback with immersive sound, Hybrid ANC and wireless connectivity offers everyday convenience. Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Headphones bring these capabilities together, making them relevant for individuals who regularly enjoy music, films and gaming over longer periods.

Actual battery endurance varies according to listening volume, ANC settings, calling activity and operating conditions. The advertised duration represents the product’s stated maximum under suitable usage conditions rather than a guaranteed listening time in every environment.

Comfortable Over Ear Design and Convenient Wireless Connectivity

Comfort remains an important part of the listening experience, especially for consumers who wear headphones during extended entertainment sessions. Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Headphones feature a lightweight over ear design intended to provide comfortable wear while supporting immersive personal audio.

Their construction offers an alternative to compact in ear listening devices for consumers who prefer larger ear cushions and an enclosed headphone design. The headphones are suitable for everyday activities such as listening to music at home, watching films, using a laptop or carrying personal audio during travel.

Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Bluetooth Headphones support connectivity with compatible smartphones, tablets, laptops and other Bluetooth enabled devices, with an advertised transmission range of up to 10 metres under suitable conditions. An auxiliary cable is also supplied, providing an additional wired connection option for compatible audio equipment.

As consumers increasingly use their audio devices across multiple activities, the combination of wireless freedom, portable construction, over ear comfort and versatile connectivity contributes to the product’s everyday practicality. Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Wireless Headphones are designed for individuals who value entertainment quality without sacrificing convenience.

Strengthening the KyptecLifeStyle® Wireless Audio Portfolio

Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Headphones form an important part of the brand’s established personal audio portfolio, which includes additional Bluetooth headphones and true wireless earbuds addressing different listening preferences. The product has a particular emphasis on premium bass, immersive entertainment, Hybrid ANC, low latency functionality and extended playback performance.

Under the leadership of Nitin Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CEO, and Sweta Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CMO, Kyptec LifeStyle® continues to build its identity around contemporary audio technology, product functionality, consumer preferences and long term business development. Supported by BalaJi MicroTechnologies Pvt. Ltd. and the wider B.B. Group of Companies, the brand remains focused on strengthening its presence in India’s competitive consumer electronics market.

Through Kyptec LifeStyle® 630 Bluetooth Headphones, the company reinforces its commitment to offering practical audio technology for different lifestyles. The model reflects the brand’s understanding that modern consumers expect their headphones to support music, entertainment, communication and everyday convenience while delivering a comfortable and engaging listening experience.

Coimbatore, (Tamil Nadu) [India], October 15: Inti Fashions, a premium women’s wear brand built entirely on personal savings by two best friends from Coimbatore, has its store on Coimbatore and chennai, marking a major milestone for the bootstrapped label, which has scaled to ₹5 crore in revenue within just two years. The brand has now expanded its offline presence further with the opening of its first franchise Store in Chennai on August 23rd, marking Inti’s arrival in the city and reinforcing its fast-growing retail footprint.

A Brand Built on Belief, Not Funding

The founders spent nine years building careers and saving money before turning their attention to a gap they kept noticing in the market: Indian wear that felt repetitive, outdated, or disconnected from how modern women actually wanted to feel. They believed women deserved Indian wear that felt powerful, polished, and expressive and used their personal savings to bring that vision to life, without any external funding.

That conviction has translated into rapid, sustainable growth. With no outside capital, Inti has:

● Crossed ₹5 crore in revenue in just two years

● Built a community of nearly 200,000 followers across social platforms

● Launched multiple campaigns that resonated widely with audiences

● Opened its first flagship retail store on Cross Cut Road, Coimbatore

● Opened its second franchise store in Chennai on August 23rd, extending its offline presence to a second major city

“Building a brand from scratch without external funding came with constant challenges — from operations and scaling to inventory and growth,” the founders said. “We stayed focused on building sustainably, listening closely to our customers, and growing with discipline.”

More Than Fashion: A Conversation About Confidence

Beyond its commercial growth, Inti has become known for using its platform to spark meaningful conversations. Its #MyArmsMyStory sleeveless campaign challenged stereotypes and insecurities around body image, encouraging women of all shapes and sizes to embrace themselves with confidence. The campaign sparked widespread conversation around selfacceptance, confidence, and representation in fashion.

Design Philosophy

Inti’s collections are built around three core values:

● Thoughtful design — every piece designed with intention

● Rooted in tradition, designed for today — contemporary silhouettes that honor Indian craftsmanship

● Exceptional craftsmanship — quality that reflects the brand’s premium positioning

The result is a line of elevated Indian wear suited for work, travel, and everyday life — wear the founders describe as aspirational dressing for women who lead, rooted in Indian identity.

Ostrich Mobility Instruments has announced a landmark national sales partnership with Pride Mobility Products Corporation

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], October 15: Ostrich Mobility Instruments, an indigenous pioneer in powered mobility solutions, has announced a landmark national sales partnership with Pride Mobility Products Corporation, a global leader in the design, development and manufacture of mobility and rehabilitation products. The partnership brings together two complementary strengths: Pride Mobility’s world-class portfolio of advanced rehabilitation solutions and Ostrich’s 19 years of market expertise, custom-engineering capabilities and extensive service network across India.

For Pride Mobility, headquartered in Duryea, Pennsylvania, USA, since 1986 and globally recognized through brands such as Jazzy, Quantum Rehab, Go Go, Baja Mobility and VivaLift!, the strategic collaboration provides a strong platform to deepen its brand presence and expand its reach across the Indian subcontinent through an established domestic network. For Ostrich Mobility, the partnership expands its product ecosystem to include premium global rehabilitation solutions while improving access for individuals seeking greater mobility, dignity and independence. Together, the two organizations aim to accelerate market development and raise the standard of living for the elderly and people with disabilities.

Founded in August 2007 by five alumni from Sasthamcotta in Kollam district, Kerala, Ostrich Mobility was established with a strong commitment to restoring freedom and self-reliance to people living with physical challenges. The company was born from the recognition that a sudden change in physical ability can profoundly alter an individual’s life, limiting mobility and independence and often confining people to their homes. For many, independent travel and unrestricted movement can seem like distant dreams. Ostrich was created to help turn those dreams into reality, driven by the founding philosophy that mobility is not merely about moving a wheelchair, but about enabling a more independent life.

What began as a grassroots prototype built using a Maruti Suzuki Baleno wiper motor, long before the emergence of today’s startup ecosystem and venture-funding culture, has evolved into a national success story. Its journey has also been featured as a management case study at Harvard Business School. The company has received national recognition through awards including the ET Now Leaders of Tomorrow Award and the SIDBI-ET MSME Award.

The company’s social impact extends across India, with more than 22,000 individuals relying on Ostrich mobility solutions. Collectively, users of its products travel approximately 2,00,000 kilometres every day. From enabling independent travel, higher education and professional careers to making an impact through cinematic appearances—including Parvathy’s character RJ Sarah in the Malayalam film Bangalore Days and the high-tech wheelchairs used by Amitabh Bachchan in Wazir—Ostrich has sought to redefine the experience of mobility and independence for people with disabilities.

Ostrich’s technological capabilities are supported by extensive research and development, strengthened through collaborations with leading academic and technology institutions. The company has worked with the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) and SASTRA University to develop indigenous PMDC and BLDC motor technologies. It has also partnered with IIT Madras’ Rehabilitation Research and Device Design (R2D2) centre as a commercialization partner and collaborated with IIT Kanpur to translate advanced research into practical and scalable solutions.

The company’s patented technologies include Split Frame Suspension Technology, designed to help keep all four wheels in contact with the ground across uneven terrain, and a joystick-operated Automatic Wheelbase Adjuster that facilitates navigation in narrow spaces and confined restrooms. These technologies are part of Ostrich’s approach to developing wheelchairs suited to the realities of Indian infrastructure and individual user requirements.

Operating from a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, Ostrich has an in-house monthly production capacity of more than 700 units. This can be scaled to more than 1,800 wheelchairs a month through its network of qualified local manufacturing and supply partners. The company maintains quality standards supported by CE certification and internationally recognized management systems, including ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

Instead of expecting users to adapt to standardized models, Ostrich focuses on customizing its products to meet individual physical requirements and environmental conditions while maintaining competitive pricing.

This user-centric approach is further reflected in initiatives such as what the company describes as India’s first lifelong doorstep service and extended warranty options, aimed at ensuring that equipment breakdowns do not leave users without mobility support. Ostrich’s corporate clients for CSR initiatives include Accenture, Target, Cisco, Mercedes-Benz and ABB. The company also supplies specialised mobility solutions through government programmes and the Canteen Stores Department (CSD) of India’s defence forces.

Through its partnership with Pride Mobility, Ostrich Mobility aims to combine its understanding of the Indian market and its indigenous engineering capabilities with global rehabilitation technologies, expanding access to advanced mobility solutions and contributing to a more inclusive future for people with disabilities across India.

Narmadapuram (Madhya Pradesh) [India], October 15: Luno Solar, an investee company of Bada Business associated with entrepreneur and investor Dr Vivek Bindra, is planning to expand India’s domestic solar manufacturing capabilities with a proposed 2.4 GW solar-cell production line. The company held the groundbreaking ceremony for its Luno Renewable Park on 12 October 2026 at the Mohasa-Babai Industrial Area in Narmadapuram, Madhya Pradesh. Planned across 45 acres, the facility is designed to bring solar cells, modules, inverters and battery energy storage systems under one roof.

Luno Solar’s association with Bada Business through its Idea to IPO initiative adds a business-growth dimension to its manufacturing ambitions. As the company plans to expand domestic production of advanced solar cells and other clean-energy components, its journey reflects the broader challenge of building Indian enterprises with the scale and capabilities to compete in strategically important sectors.

Strengthening a critical part of the solar supply chain

Solar cells are a fundamental component of photovoltaic modules. While India continues to expand its solar installations, strengthening domestic manufacturing of these components is an important part of building a more resilient supply chain and reducing exposure to imports.

Luno’s proposed cell line will use advanced TOPCon technology based on G12 and G12R wafers. According to the company’s first-phase estimates, the line is expected to produce approximately 2.2 lakh cells per day, equivalent to around 8 crore cells annually. These are planned production estimates, not current output.

The cell line will form part of a larger manufacturing ecosystem comprising 2.4 GW of solar-module capacity, 1.2 GW of inverter capacity and 1.2 GW of battery energy storage system capacity. The integrated setup is intended to allow Luno to participate in multiple stages of the solar and storage value chain.

Policy and domestic manufacturing

The project comes amid a growing policy emphasis on domestic production of solar components. The company’s media brief identifies the ALMM-II requirement for solar cells, effective 1 June 2026, as an important development for Indian cell manufacturing. The broader objectives of Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat also place emphasis on building domestic capabilities in strategically important sectors.

Luno expects module manufacturing at the new facility to begin within three months of the groundbreaking, with the first batch of solar cells targeted within nine months, subject to project execution.

“Energy independence is strengthened when we build more of the capabilities we need within the country. Developing domestic solar-cell manufacturing can support a more resilient supply chain while creating opportunities to deepen technology and manufacturing expertise in India,” said Dr Vivek Bindra, entrepreneur and investor.

The proposed Renewable Park remains in development. Its planned cell capacity and integrated manufacturing model reflect Luno’s ambition to contribute to India’s domestic clean-energy manufacturing base.

New Delhi [India], October 15: A cloudy morning does not necessarily mean low UV. A cooler day doesn’t equal lower sun exposure. And the weather outside is not always an accurate measure of what your skin is exposed to.

JungleBerry’s new Wild SPF campaign is built around a simple distinction: check the UV Index, then choose your Wild SPF.

Across India, UV exposure can fluctuate with location, time of day, altitude and cloud cover. Yet SPF choices are often guided by how hot, bright or sunny a day feels. Rather than positioning the highest SPF as an automatic default, JungleBerry aims to cultivate situational awareness around sun exposure, encouraging a holistic defence that pairs the right sunscreen with physical protection like sunhats, protective clothing and shade during extended outdoor activity.

The campaign features JungleBerry’s Tinted Mineral Sunscreen range, available in SPF 30 and SPF 50. Both are mineral-based, tinted and formulated for comfortable daily wear, with a lightweight finish and no white cast.

The formulation brief was simple: make mineral sunscreens people actually want to wear every day. No heaviness, stickiness or oily after-feel, the very things that can lead people to under-apply or skip sunscreen. Wild SPF leaves that baggage behind with a comfortable, cosmetic finish that feels almost like mineral sunscreen has finally grown up.

The campaign introduces a straightforward framework for choosing between JungleBerry’s Tinted Mineral Sunscreens:

Low to Moderate UV Index → SPF 30
High UV Index → SPF 50 (reapplication when outdoors)

The distinction also comes through in the packaging design. The SPF 30 pack features a low-horizon sun, while the SPF 50 pack depicts the midday sun, creating a subtle visual cue around lower versus higher UV conditions.

“Sun protection has become part of everyday skincare, but the conversation often starts and ends with chasing a high SPF number,” says Nitin Dhawan, Co-founder, JungleBerry. “We wanted to drive a behavioural shift so people aren’t fooled by the weather. The weather tells you how the day feels; the UV Index tells you your actual exposure. Making that check second nature helps people choose sun protection more consciously.”

A 2025 India-specific dermatologist consensus suggests that sun protection for Indian skin tones must also account for pigmentation. The paper, produced by 14 Indian dermatologists, explains that Visible light, alongside UVA, can contribute to melasma and uneven tone, particularly in deeper skin tones. JungleBerry sunscreens have incorporated an iron-oxide tint that extends photoprotection into the visible-light spectrum.

“The tint isn’t simply a colour added to the sunscreen. While it spreads beautifully, giving natural-looking coverage to uneven tone and acne marks, the iron oxides behind that tint also help defend against visible light, a contributor to pigmentation,” says Ila Upadhyaya, Head, Marketing Communications & New Product Development, JungleBerry. “You can invest in the best dark-spot serums and de-pigmenting care, but don’t spend all night correcting what you leave unprotected every morning.”

“People check AQI before running or Maps before driving, yet with sunscreen we still guess based on how the weather feels,” says Rashi Kalra, Founder at Sushi Studio (the creative partner behind the campaign). “UV exposure is driven by geography and climate, not just temperature. That’s why we anchored the campaign on a simple truth: ‘Weather dekh ke dhoka na khao, UV check karke sahi SPF lagao.’

JungleBerry is an Indian skincare and haircare brand bringing Ayurvedic wisdom into modern formulations. Its philosophy, Wildly Ayurvedic, combines time-honoured botanicals with practical science to address real-world concerns—from UV, pollution and heat to stress, humidity and hard water. Nature-led yet contemporary, its products are designed around how skin and hair actually behave. JungleBerry currently has a presence across 100+ stores in India, alongside its online store.

New Delhi [India], October 15: Every financial revolution begins as speculation. The successful ones eventually become infrastructure. Each age has trusted in a different form of value.

In the past, people stored their wealth in gold because it was rare and widely trusted. Over time, that trust shifted to banks, governments, and large companies, which gave value to money, stocks, and other financial assets. Today, technology is changing the way we think about wealth. As more aspects of life move online, people are beginning to trust digital assets alongside traditional forms of investment, creating new ways to store and grow wealth.

Digital assets represent a manifestation of that change.

When we discuss digital assets, the conversation frequently becomes simplified and dramatic, about the roller-coaster rise and fall of bitcoin or cryptocurrency market volatility. These narratives undoubtedly capture attention, yet, they miss the larger evolution taking place. Digital assets have begun to move from a speculative sideline to a serious part of the mainstream discussion of portfolio management, alternative assets and the future of financial innovation.

The real question before the financial world today isn’t whether digital assets have value or pose a threat. It’s how they will coexist with the existing financial ecosystem.

Today’s investor is managing their wealth in a world characterized by volatility and a fast-moving economic cycle. Geopolitical risks, inflation fears, and technological disruptions have forced many investors to consider diversification strategies beyond traditional stocks, bonds, and real estate. The diversification into alternative investments, from private equity and commodities to a selection of the world’s most established digital assets, has become an essential component of long-term wealth planning.

While price has often dominated digital asset discourse, the revolutionary underlying technology of blockchain and tokenization offers new frameworks for ownership and transactions that move beyond what existing institutional structures are built to accommodate. From supply chain logistics and healthcare to digital identities and cross-border payments, blockchain-based applications promise to reshape various industries-and with it, new avenues for value.

In many ways, the conversations around digital assets have transitioned from digital currency to digital ownership.

This shift is also changing generational views of financial planning. Older generations often ask, “Are digital assets safe?” Newer investors ask, “Is this the future?” Institutional investors ask, “Can digital assets help diversify our portfolios and improve risk-adjusted returns?”

These aren’t mutually exclusive views, they are all valid pieces of a rapidly evolving scenario.

But excitement should never be allowed to outrun diligence. While the possibilities offered by digital assets are immense, so are the risks associated with regulatory uncertainty, evolving market structures, cybersecurity, and the still-present volatility. Investors must engage with digital assets armed with education, governance structures and risk management frameworks, otherwise the most meaningful digital assets may never move beyond the category of speculative holdings.

Perhaps the most profound lesson the world has already learned from innovation cycles: nothing moves in a straight line. When the internet emerged, it was seen as little more than a novelty; it has now transformed how the world functions and exchanges value. Credit cards were once a novel concept: today they represent an everyday standard. History has taught us that new, powerful, and broadly disruptive forms of innovation, typically start in niches before mainstream adoption follows.

Digital assets, it seems, are following a similar pattern.

It’s unlikely that the future of investment management will involve an “either/or” decision between traditional and digital assets. Instead, the next era of wealth management will feature an “and.” We anticipate a world where prudent investors thoughtfully integrate digital assets into their broader portfolios of traditional and alternative investments-a strategy where the opportunities of innovation are balanced with the stability and resilience afforded by diversification. This is the world we see coming.

In this next era, wealth may still be measured in numbers, but it will increasingly be written in code.

Digital assets involve significant risks, including volatility and regulatory uncertainty; readers should conduct their own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.

New Delhi [India], October 14: With Navratri, Dussehra and Diwali approaching, India’s festive season, traditionally the biggest window for discretionary purchases, is opening against a tightening economic backdrop. Retail inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rose to 5.54% in September 2026 from 4.83% in August, its eleventh consecutive monthly increase, according to data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) on October 12. Food inflation surged to 7.74% from 5.97%, with onion prices more than doubling year-on-year, and a home-cooked vegetarian thali cost about 10% more than a year earlier. On October 7, the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50%, its first hike in over three and a half years, and shifted its stance to calibrated tightening. Governor Sanjay Malhotra said rate cuts are off the table in the near term. The RBI raised its FY27 CPI inflation projection to 5.2% from 5.0%, and expects inflation to peak at 6.0% in the October-December quarter, which coincides with the festive season.

•  In total, 57% urban Indian households surveyed likely to spend this festive season.

•  34% of households spending likely to fund a significant part (25% or more) of festive spending from Savings.

•  72% of households spending likely to buy clothing/fashion products; 45% also buying appliances.

•  9% households likely to spend over INR 1 lakh this festive season; 30% between INR 10,000 and 1 lakh.

The RBI has flagged that price pressures are becoming broad-based, with 37% of items in the CPI basket rising more than 4% by August, and that cyclical inflation risks are no longer benign given elevated oil prices, tighter global conditions and a deficient monsoon. Brent crude was trading at about USD 101 per barrel on October 6, over 50% higher than a year ago, and wholesale inflation, as measured by the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), jumped to 11.39% in September from 9.92% in August on higher fuel and manufacturing costs, according to government data released on October 14. The hike will also make festive borrowing costlier: if passed on in full, the EMI on an INR 50 lakh, 25-year home loan rises by about INR 817 a month.

While the RBI raised its FY27 GDP growth projection to 7.1% from 6.7%, citing resilient private consumption, its household surveys point to growing caution. In the July 2026 round of the Urban Consumer Confidence Survey, the Current Situation Index fell to 88.3 from 90.7 and the Future Expectations Index to 115.3 from 118.7. The net response on current spending on non-essential items stood at just 3.3, against 86.7 for essential items, while the employment net response fell to -21.9 from -14.4. Households also expect prices to rise 9.4% over the next year, according to the RBI’s Inflation Expectations Survey of Households. These expectations carry weight: RBI working papers by Purnima Shaw and RK Sinha find that since the pandemic, household inflation forecasts have been more accurate than professional forecasts about 65% of the time, against 39% for professional forecasts.

Household balance sheets are also under strain. While net household financial savings improved to 7% of Gross National Disposable Income (GNDI) in FY25 from 5.8% in FY24, largely due to lower borrowings, an Economic and Political Weekly analysis published in early September notes that household financial liabilities reached 45.8% of GDP by March 2026, having grown faster than financial assets since mid-2022. New fixed deposits offered 5.67% in August, below the 9.4% inflation households expect, implying negative real returns, yet the share of term deposits in total bank deposits rose from about 55% to nearly 62% between March 2022 and March 2026.

Early festive indicators point to spending that is selective. Gross GST collections rose 14.7% year-on year to INR 2.04 lakh crore in September 2026, though domestic GST grew a more modest 10.1%. Vehicle retail sales hit a record 25.37 lakh units in September, up 31.8% year-on-year, though the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) cautioned that growth was flattered by a low base, as buyers had deferred purchases ahead of GST 2.0 in September 2025.

Online festive sales, which opened with Amazon’s Great Indian Festival on October 8 and Flipkart’s Big Billion Days on October 9, show a similar split. Platforms have reported strong traffic, with Flipkart recording 6.3 million concurrent users and about 60% of demand from non-metro customers, and Meesho reporting a 75% year-onyear rise in Day 1 orders across fashion, beauty and festive décor. Big-ticket electronics, however, are under pressure: Counterpoint Research expects festive smartphone volumes to fall 12% year-on-year as rising memory chip costs push up device prices, even as market value rises 5%. Unlike last year, when GST rate cuts effective September 22, 2025 coincided with the start of major sales, there is no tax-led tailwind this season.

Against this backdrop, LocalCircles conducted its Mood of the Consumer survey to understand how much urban Indian households plan to spend this festive season, what they intend to buy and how they plan to fund it. The survey received over 67,000 responses from urban household consumers located across 307 districts of India.

The survey indicates that urban Indian households are likely to spend INR 20,000 on average on discretionary purchases this festive season. Based on the spending levels indicated in the survey, LocalCircles estimates total urban household festive spending at INR 1.97 lakh crore in 2026, 6% lower than INR 2.10 lakh crore in 2025. This reverses last year’s rise from INR 1.85 lakh crore in 2024, a year in which the GST rate cuts effective September 22, 2025 coincided with the start of the festive season. While 57% of households surveyed are likely to spend this festive season, 31% plan no discretionary spending at all. Of those spending, 72% will buy clothing/fashion products, and 83% will dip into savings to some extent, including 34% who will fund 25% or more of their festive spending from savings. The key findings are detailed below.

57% of urban Indian households surveyed likely to spend this festive season; 9% likely to spend over INR 1 lakh and 30% between INR 10,000 and 1 lakh

To gauge festive spending plans, the survey asked urban households, “During the upcoming festive season (September-November 2026), approximately how much does your household expect to spend on discretionary purchases (excluding regular monthly expenses like groceries, utilities, rent/EMIs, school fees, etc.)?” This question received 22,904 responses. In response, 31% said no discretionary spending is planned, while 18% expect to spend less than INR 10,000 and 15% between INR 10,001 and INR 25,000. Another 9% expect to spend INR 25,001-50,000, 6% INR 50,001-1 lakh and 9% INR 1-10 lakh, while 12% could not say.

In aggregate, 57% of urban households surveyed are likely to spend this festive season. 30% expect to spend between INR 10,000 and INR 1 lakh and 9% over INR 1 lakh, while 18% will keep their festive budget below INR 10,000. With nearly 1 in 3 households planning no discretionary spending at all, the findings mirror the caution visible in the RBI’s latest urban consumer confidence survey, where the net response on current spending on non-essential items stood at just 3.3.

Urban Indian households likely to spend INR 20,000 on average this festive season; total urban festive spending estimated at INR 1.97 lakh crore, 6% lower than 2025

Based on the discretionary spending levels indicated by households in the survey, LocalCircles estimates that urban Indian households are likely to spend INR 20,000 on average this festive season, and that total urban household festive spending will fall to INR 1.97 lakh crore in 2026 from INR 2.10 lakh crore in 2025, a decline of 6%. Festive spending had risen about 14% in 2025 from INR 1.85 lakh crore in 2024, as the GST 2.0 rate cuts effective September 22, 2025 coincided with the start of the festive season. This year, with no such tax-led tailwind, retail inflation at 5.54%, food inflation at 7.74% and the RBI’s October 7 rate hike making credit costlier, households are scaling back, although spending remains about INR 12,000 crore above 2024 levels. The pullback is most visible in big-ticket categories, with Counterpoint Research projecting a 12% year-on-year fall in festive smartphone volumes as device prices rise.

72% of urban Indian households spending this festive season likely to buy clothing/fashion products; 45% also buying home appliances & furniture

The survey next asked households, “What are all the discretionary purchases that your household plans to make during the upcoming festive season?” This question received 20,916 responses, with respondents able to select more than one option. In response, 72% said clothing, footwear & accessories, making it the clear top category, followed by 45% each for home appliances & furniture and travel & holidays. 39% plan to spend on gourmet foods & gifting, 22% each on mobile phones, consumer electronics & gadgets and on home renovation/interiors, and 10% on an automobile/two-wheeler. Only 6% plan to buy jewellery, while 10% listed other categories.

The low share for jewellery comes as domestic gold prices rose 12% in August to about INR 1.59 lakh per 10 grams, with the World Gold Council noting that sharp price swings are keeping jewellery buyers cautious ahead of the festive season. CPI data for August also show silver jewellery prices up over 107% year-on-year. Prices remain elevated going into Dhanteras and Diwali, with gold trading at about INR 1.50 lakh per 10 grams and silver at about INR 2.26 lakh per kg on MCX on October 7.

Early online sales mirror this, with Meesho reporting a 75% year-on-year rise in Day 1 orders across fashion, beauty and festive décor, while pricier smartphones weighed on electronics.

34% of urban Indian households spending this festive season likely to fund a significant part (25% or more) of it from savings; 83% to dip into savings to some extent

To understand how festive purchases will be funded, the survey asked households, “If your household plans discretionary spending this festive season, what proportion do you expect to fund from savings?” This question received 23,451 responses. In response, 17% said none, as spending will come entirely from earnings, while 49% expect to fund less than 25% from savings and 18% between 25% and 50%. No respondent chose 51-75% or more than 75%, while 16% said their spending will be funded entirely from savings. None indicated that borrowing would be required.

In aggregate, 83% of urban households planning festive spending expect to dip into savings, and 34% expect to fund a significant amount, 25% or more, from savings, including 16% who will rely on savings entirely. With retail inflation already at 5.54% in September, the RBI projecting it to peak at 6.0% in the October-December quarter and its October 7 rate hike making credit costlier, drawing on savings appears to be how many households plan to protect festive spending from pressure on monthly budgets.

In Summary

The LocalCircles Mood of the Consumer survey indicates that urban India’s festive season will be more subdued than last year. Urban Indian households are likely to spend INR 20,000 on average, and LocalCircles estimates total urban household festive spending at INR 1.97 lakh crore in 2026, 6% lower than INR 2.10 lakh crore in 2025, when GST rate cuts coincided with the festive season, though still above INR 1.85 lakh crore in 2024. While 57% of urban households surveyed plan discretionary purchases, 31% plan none, and budgets are largely modest: 30% expect to spend between INR 10,000 and INR 1 lakh and only 9% over INR 1 lakh. Spending is concentrated on clothing/fashion products, which 72% of those spending plan to buy, followed by home appliances & furniture and travel & holidays at 45% each, while jewellery purchases are limited to 6% amid elevated gold and silver prices.

The findings on funding are the most significant. 83% of households planning festive spending will dip into savings, and 34% will fund 25% or more of it from savings, including 16% who will rely on savings entirely. In other words, for many urban households this festive season is being paid for out of past savings rather than current income. This corroborates the RBI’s finding of resilient spending intentions despite weakening sentiment on the economy and jobs. With the RBI’s October 7 rate hike raising borrowing costs and rate cuts ruled out in the near term, savings, not credit, will be the cushion.

That cushion is thinning. Retail inflation has risen for eleven consecutive months to 5.54% in September, wholesale inflation has crossed 11%, food inflation is at 7.74% and crude oil remains above USD 100 per barrel, while household liabilities have been growing faster than financial assets. With wholesale prices rising at more than twice the pace of retail prices, more of that pressure could reach store shelves in the coming months, just as the RBI expects CPI inflation to peak at 6.0% in the October-December quarter. Households drawing down savings now may have less of a buffer for the wedding season and the expenses that follow into 2027. Urban India will light its diyas this Diwali as it always does; the difference this year is how much of the oil is being drawn from household savings.

Survey Demographics

The survey received over 67,000 responses from urban household consumers located across 307 districts of India. 63% respondents were men while 37% respondents were women. 41% of respondents were from tier 1, 28% from tier 2 and 31% respondents were from tier 3 & 4 districts. The survey was conducted via the LocalCircles platform, and all participants were validated citizens who had to be registered with LocalCircles to participate in this survey.

Survey Methodology

This survey has been conducted using the proprietary LocalCircles stratified sampling methodology. With a minimum target of 30% participation of each gender and a minimum target of 25% participation from three location groups (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3-4 districts) on each poll, all polls were run. After the minimum participation criteria were met, all polls were run till they achieved steady state. Post achievement of steady state, the LocalCircles system using the bootstrapping technique drew additional samples to test for the margin of error. All polls were found to have a margin of error under 7% and a confidence level of over 93%.

New Delhi [India], October 15: The Museum of British Colonialism (MBC) has filed a petition calling for a National Day of Commemoration for the Victims of Colonialism. The day would remember the millions whose lives, land and livelihoods were lost under colonial rule. MBC invites everyone who supports the cause to sign the petition at https://indiascolonialstory.org/.

At its zenith around 1913, the British Empire was the largest empire in the world, covering nearly 25% of the globe and ruling more than 410 million people. Each colony has its own decolonisation story, and for many it ended acrimoniously. In India, colonisation took nearly 200 years, as the British wiped away the old medieval order and replaced it with firmly established colonial rule.

The cost of that rule was felt long before independence and long after it. The British East India Company strategically drained India’s revenue (worth trillions today), jewels (unaccountable) and historic artefacts (priceless) to Britain, depriving posterity of ever witnessing the grandeur of the early Modern India (the Mughal era). Unlike earlier conquests, British rule brought a drastic change in India’s economic structure, robbing people of their livelihoods. Its consequences took many forms, from famine and resource extraction to communal riots, and left a lasting impact on communities across the subcontinent.

Division was also a deliberate policy. After the Revolt of 1857, Lord Elphinstone, then Governor of Bombay, advised London in 1859: “Divide et impera was the old Roman maxim: it should be ours.” That legacy culminated in 1947. As streets filled with euphoric crowds celebrating independence, many stayed away, mourning loved ones lost in the partition of the country, one of the bloodiest divisions in history and a tragic price paid for freedom from colonial rule. Even today, the presence of religious neighbourhoods in both India and Pakistan points to the incomplete decolonisation of people’s minds, still shaped by the British policy of ‘divide and rule’.

“The 180° reversal of the colonial past in India, or for that matter any other former colony, is never possible, but it sure isn’t a smooth continuity either. Independence was not a sudden rupture from colonial history but a process of gradual adaptation, and it still is,” said Chandini Jaswal, India Representative, Museum of British Colonialism.

It is this unfinished history that makes remembrance essential. The proposed National Day of Commemoration would honour those who lost their lives, their loved ones, their land and their livelihoods under colonial rule, and ensure their stories are passed on to future generations. As the Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey said: “A people without the knowledge of their history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.”

MBC invites everyone who supports the cause to visit https://indiascolonialstory.org/ and sign the petition. Every signature adds a voice to the call for a day when the victims of colonialism are remembered.

AlphaPepe has crossed $3 million raised, Binance is next, and ALPE has yet to print its first public exchange candle. The best crypto presale race is heating up before the fifth CEX partnership reveal, with buyers still entering ahead of the announcement. Pepeto and Apeing face fresh competition from a project combining meme appeal with a working exchange product.

AlphaSwap Early Access is live, and an ex-Shibarium developer stands behind its AI DEX. AlphaPepe offers entry before listing while building a token-powered trading ecosystem. For investors who missed BNB’s earliest days, that combination deserves attention before the next exchange reveal lands.

AlphaPepe Presale Passes $3M Before Binance Reveal

AlphaPepe has attracted more than $3 million before public exchange trading begins. Its holder base has crossed 12,500, with over 100 new holders joining daily. Buyers are taking positions while ALPE remains in presale, ahead of its first open-market trading cycle.

Four CEX partnerships have already been announced, with the fifth reveal coming soon. Binance next brings a major exchange name into AlphaPepe’s rollout while presale entry remains available. The opportunity is to enter before that public reveal, rather than discover the project through the announcement itself.

That timing gives the $3 million milestone weight. AlphaPepe has a growing community heading into the next exchange event, alongside a swap product already available in Early Access. The presale is advancing with both buyers and development behind it.

For investors searching for the best crypto presale, the entry still sits before the first chart. AlphaPepe’s next milestone is approaching, but ALPE remains available at the current presale price. Waiting for the headline means giving up the opportunity to position before it.

BNB Powers Binance, ALPE Builds Around AlphaSwap

BNB entered the market through an ICO before Binance opened for trading. Its initial utility centred on exchange fees and trading discounts, then expanded across the broader BNB Chain ecosystem. The token became embedded in the services people used as that ecosystem grew.

AlphaPepe is building toward the same token-and-product relationship. ALPE-powered access and trading credits form part of AlphaSwap’s advanced trading development, connecting the token with functionality inside its own ecosystem. The ambition places ALPE at the centre of AlphaSwap as its capabilities expand.

AlphaSwap Early Access is already live. The ex-Shibarium developer behind the AI DEX brings blockchain development experience into the product, while Auto-Trade registration is open. Conversational trading development adds another layer, connecting AI instructions with swap preparation.

Pepeto competes through swaps, bridging, and token screening. Apeing attracts buyers through staking, referrals, and community competitions. AlphaPepe takes first place in this comparison through its combination of live AlphaSwap Early Access, developer experience, and an expanding ALPE utility direction.

The BNB comparison gives the upside hunt a concrete foundation: a token connected to a trading ecosystem. AlphaPepe’s growth thesis rests on exchange exposure and adoption of AlphaSwap’s token-linked features. Buyers entering the presale are taking that position while the ecosystem is still forming.

Presale Entry Meets Listing Repricing and a Final Bonus Call

ALPE is priced at $0.03335, against the project’s advertised listing target starting at $0.08. Reaching that price would represent roughly 2.4 times the current entry. A $1,000 allocation would have a token value of approximately $2,400 at $0.08, before fees.

That price gap gives investors a defined repricing scenario. For those chasing a larger moonshot, the next question is how far exchange exposure and AlphaSwap adoption take the ecosystem after launch. The presale offers entry before that public-market phase begins.

Stage 20 has sold out, and Stage 21 is live. Buyers are joining while the fifth CEX reveal approaches, with AlphaSwap Early Access already available. AlphaPepe brings the entry price, exchange rollout and product together before listing.

The immediate incentive is Limited Bonus AlphaLabs. Fewer than 80 mystery crates remain, offering up to 300% extra tokens. That bonus increases the allocation without depending on a future market rally, making the remaining crates an opportunity with a visible limit.

Conclusion

AlphaPepe has crossed $3 million before its Binance reveal and first public exchange chart. Its live AlphaSwap Early Access, ex-Shibarium developer and BNB-style ecosystem ambition, put substance behind the presale.

The current entry remains $0.03335, with fewer than 80 bonus crates left. Secure an ALPE allocation through the official presale and check the remaining AlphaLabs offer before the crates run out.

Respect Network LLC answers the three questions it hears most from people hurt by a negative Reddit thread, and says the answer to each starts with the rule the post breaks

Richmond (Virginia) [USA], October 13: “Most people do not find out about the thread from Reddit. They find out because someone sends them a Google result,” said Eric Rivas, CEO of Respect Network LLC, an online reputation management firm in Richmond, Kentucky. Rivas said that pattern is why the firm is putting its Reddit post removal service forward now, with a guarantee that clients pay nothing upfront and pay for a post only once it has come down.

The shift Rivas describes is a practical one. A discussion that once stayed inside a community of a few thousand readers can now sit in search results beside a company’s website or a person’s professional profile, where customers, employers, and journalists see it. A false accusation, a posted home address, or a thread organized around one named individual no longer stays small. The firm says that makes the first question a client asks, whether the post can come down at all, more urgent than it used to be.

The answer, according to Respect Network, depends on what the post does. Reddit lets volunteer moderators remove anything that breaks their community’s rules, and its administrators enforce a sitewide Content Policy covering harassment, personal information, and impersonation. A post that fits one of those categories has a path to removal. A post that is merely unflattering, or even untrue, but breaks no rule does not, and the firm says it tells clients so at the start. Respect Network adds that Reddit has said in its published guidance that it rarely removes content solely because it is defamatory.

The second question people ask is how long it takes. Respect Network says there is no honest single answer. Moderators sometimes respond within hours and sometimes never, administrators may ask for more information before acting, and a rejected first report often has to be rebuilt with a different category or better proof. The firm says it prefers to explain this plainly. It follows each report through to a result, and it keeps its own timeline estimates cautious so that clients do not plan around a date that Reddit controls.

The third question is the one the firm considers the most important: what happens if it does not work. Here the guarantee does its job. Respect Network works with no upfront fees, so a client who is told a post cannot be removed has paid nothing to learn it. A client whose post is accepted and does not come down is not billed for it. The firm calls this a fee guarantee, not a promise that Reddit will agree with every request, and says it declines honest criticism, truthful reviews, and lawful opinion because those are protected and should stay up.

When removal is not possible, the firm points clients to what it calls the reputation route. That means publishing accurate material that can rank above the problem thread, so that a search for the client’s name shows their own work first. It also means monitoring, since a removed post can reappear under a new account or be copied elsewhere. Respect Network says it checks for both after any takedown.

Respect Network says it has resolved more than 1,650 cases over more than 16 years and reports a 90% removal rate on harmful content across the major platforms it handles, Reddit among them. Details are on its Reddit post removal page, and the firm’s social media removal service covers Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and Discord. Clients whose problem reaches articles and search results can review its content removal work, and those facing anonymous attackers can read about its cyber investigation service.

New Delhi [India], October 13: V-BOND, the construction materials brand of Value Pack India Private Limited, is preparing to bring its distributor network together in Hyderabad for the V-BOND Distributor Connect Program 2026, scheduled for October 14 at 7 PM at Taj Deccan. The event is positioned as an opportunity to strengthen business relationships, exchange industry insights and explore fresh avenues for growth. With the construction sector demanding dependable materials, consistent product performance and stronger supply networks, the gathering places distributor engagement at the centre of the brand’s business outreach. The evening will also include a cocktail dinner, giving partners an opportunity to connect beyond routine commercial interactions.

Founded in 2014, Value Pack India Private Limited has developed V-BOND as a brand serving the construction and building materials segment. Its product portfolio spans tile adhesives, tile grouts, epoxy grouts, waterproofing solutions, wall care products, plasters, jointing mortars and specialist surface care products. These categories cater to different stages of construction, installation and finishing, from preparing wall surfaces to fixing tiles and maintaining finished spaces. The company’s focus on multiple product categories places it within a market where contractors, builders, dealers and distributors increasingly look for a broader selection of construction solutions through established supply channels.

The distributor network remains an important link between manufacturers and the professionals who use construction products on site. Availability, product knowledge, timely supply and reliable after-sales support can influence purchasing decisions across residential, commercial and infrastructure projects. Through Distributor Connect Program 2026, V-BOND is bringing attention to the relationships that support its market presence. The gathering offers a setting for the company and its partners to exchange perspectives, understand business priorities and discuss potential opportunities. While the programme’s specific commercial announcements have not been disclosed in the invitation, its emphasis on networking and new possibilities signals a clear focus on partner engagement.

V-BOND’s range includes solutions designed for tile installation, joint finishing, waterproofing and wall preparation. The company also highlights ready-mix and polymer-modified construction products, which are intended to simplify application and support consistent finishing when used according to product specifications. As construction projects become more demanding in their expectations around workmanship, durability and execution, the performance of installation materials can have a direct bearing on the quality of completed surfaces. For distributors, a diverse portfolio can also create opportunities to serve customers with different project requirements rather than concentrating on a single product category. Product suitability, correct application and dependable availability remain essential considerations in this segment.

The Hyderabad programme comes as V-BOND continues to present itself as a supplier of construction materials for customers across different markets. The company lists its Indian office in Miyapur, Hyderabad, alongside additional business locations in India and overseas. Its official product portfolio and customer-facing services reflect an approach that combines materials supply with accessibility and distributor support. Events centred on channel partners can provide companies with a direct platform to maintain relationships and hear market feedback. For V-BOND, the October gathering creates an occasion to bring its distributor community together while reinforcing the role of business partnerships in reaching dealers, contractors, builders and other customers.

Scheduled at the Taj Deccan in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, the V-BOND Distributor Connect Program 2026 carries the theme of celebrating partnerships, unveiling possibilities and shaping the future. The invitation identifies October 14, 2026, at 7 PM as the event date and time, followed by a cocktail dinner. The programme is expected to bring participating partners together for an evening focused on networking, industry insights and business opportunities. As the construction materials market continues to serve a wide range of building and renovation needs, sustained engagement between brands and distribution partners remains commercially significant.

New Delhi [India], October 14: Kyptec LifeStyle®, an Indian consumer audio brand operating under BalaJi MicroTechnologies Pvt. Ltd., part of the B.B. Group of Companies, continues to strengthen its presence in India’s personal audio market through Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Bluetooth Headphones. Designed for consumers who value premium sound quality, effective noise reduction, comfortable listening and dependable battery performance, these wireless headphones combine Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, powerful 40mm audio drivers, four built in microphones and up to 50 hours of advertised playtime in a stylish, foldable design.

As personal audio becomes increasingly important for professional communication, online education, music, digital entertainment and everyday travel, consumers expect headphones that can comfortably support different activities throughout the day. For buyers exploring Bluetooth headphones, Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Wireless Headphones bring together immersive sound reproduction, Hybrid ANC technology, low-latency connectivity, and practical portability. The product is suitable for listeners who regularly move between telephone conversations, online meetings, entertainment and travel without wanting separate audio devices for each activity.

With buyers paying greater attention to comfort, connectivity, sound performance and battery endurance, Kyptec LifeStyle® continues to focus on delivering practical listening features alongside contemporary product design. The existing Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Headphones reflect this approach by bringing together technology and usability for modern consumers seeking a versatile everyday wireless audio experience.

Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation for Focused and Comfortable Listening

Environmental noise can affect the experience of listening to music, participating in online meetings or enjoying entertainment, particularly in busy offices, public transportation and shared spaces. Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Bluetooth Headphones incorporate Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation technology designed to reduce selected background sounds and help users enjoy a more focused listening environment.

For consumers considering wireless headphones for music, work and travel, the ability to manage background noise is an important factor in choosing the right audio product. Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Wireless Headphones combine Hybrid ANC with a comfortable over ear design, offering a practical alternative to compact earbuds for individuals who prefer an enclosed listening experience.

Hybrid ANC combines feedforward and feedback microphone arrangements to detect surrounding noise and support electronic sound reduction. Unlike passive noise isolation, which primarily depends on the physical design and fit of the ear cushions, active noise cancellation processes external sound and generates an opposing signal to reduce certain unwanted frequencies. Its effectiveness varies according to the listening environment, noise characteristics and headphone fit.

The presence of Hybrid ANC adds practical value during daily commuting, office work, travel and extended entertainment sessions. Whether listening to a favourite playlist, concentrating on a podcast or following a conversation, the headphones are designed to offer greater control over everyday listening conditions without requiring users to remain in a completely quiet environment.

Powerful 40mm Audio Drivers for Deep Bass and Immersive Entertainment

Sound performance remains a central consideration for consumers choosing wireless audio products. Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Headphones incorporate 40mm audio drivers designed to produce powerful bass, clear vocals and engaging sound reproduction for different entertainment preferences.

The driver configuration supports music listeners who appreciate a strong low-frequency response while retaining the vocal presence needed for podcasts, films, and spoken content. From energetic music and streaming entertainment to online lectures and everyday listening, the headphones are designed to provide an immersive audio experience across different types of digital content.

Consumers exploring over-ear headphones often consider driver performance, sound balance, ear cushion comfort, and the ability to enjoy music over extended periods. Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Bluetooth Headphones bring these considerations together through their larger driver configuration, noise cancellation technology and comfortable wearable design.

The headphones also incorporate low latency functionality intended to reduce noticeable delays between compatible video content and audio playback. This is particularly relevant for users watching films, streaming videos or enjoying casual mobile gaming, where coordination between picture and sound contributes to the overall experience. Actual audio latency depends on the connected device, application and wireless conditions.

Four Built In Microphones for Clear Calling and Everyday Communication

Wireless headphones have become important communication accessories for professionals, students and individuals who regularly participate in digital conversations. Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Wireless Headphones feature a quad microphone configuration designed to support voice pickup and calling performance across different everyday environments.

The four built in microphones complement the product’s listening capabilities, allowing consumers to switch between music, telephone calls, online meetings and digital communication without changing audio devices. This versatility is relevant for working professionals attending virtual meetings, students joining online classes and travellers who need a convenient hands-free communication solution.

For consumers comparing noise-cancelling headphones, microphone quality is an important consideration alongside music playback and overall comfort. Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Headphones combine multiple microphones with Hybrid ANC technology, creating a practical balance between private listening and everyday voice communication.

While actual call clarity depends on surrounding noise, wireless connectivity, microphone positioning and network conditions, the quad microphone arrangement provides a useful feature for people seeking one audio product for both professional and personal activities.

Up to 50 Hours of Battery Life for Extended Wireless Listening

Battery endurance is an important factor when selecting headphones for regular daily use. Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Bluetooth Headphones offer up to 50 hours of advertised playtime, helping consumers enjoy extended listening without the inconvenience of frequent charging.

The headphones also feature an approximately two hour charging time, making it convenient to recharge the product between work sessions, travel plans and entertainment activities. Long battery endurance can be particularly valuable for individuals who use wireless audio throughout the day, including commuters, students, working professionals and frequent travellers.

For buyers researching wireless headphones with long battery life, the ability to combine extended playback with noise cancellation, comfortable wearability and reliable connectivity is an important consideration. Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Wireless Headphones bring these capabilities together to support daily listening across different environments.

Actual battery performance varies according to listening volume, noise cancellation settings, calling activity and operating conditions. The advertised playback duration represents the product’s stated maximum under suitable usage conditions.

Foldable Over Ear Design for Comfort, Portability and Everyday Convenience

Comfort and portability play an important role in the overall headphone experience, especially for consumers who wear their audio devices during extended work sessions or frequent travel. Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Headphones feature a lightweight, foldable over ear design intended to provide comfortable listening while making the product easier to carry and store.

The foldable construction allows users to place the headphones conveniently inside a bag when travelling between home, office, college, and other locations. Their over-ear configuration offers a different listening experience from compact earbuds, making them relevant for consumers who prefer larger ear cushions and a more enclosed audio presentation.

Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Bluetooth Headphones support connectivity with compatible smartphones, tablets, laptops and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, with an advertised wireless transmission range of up to 10 metres under suitable conditions. The product also includes an auxiliary cable, providing an additional wired connection option for compatible devices.

As demand continues for comfortable Bluetooth headphones suited to music, work and travel, the combination of a foldable structure, wireless connectivity and practical audio functionality makes the model relevant to a broad range of everyday listening preferences.

Strengthening the Kyptec LifeStyle® Wireless Audio Portfolio

Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Wireless Headphones form an important part of the brand’s established wireless audio portfolio, which includes additional over-ear headphones and true wireless earbuds designed for different consumer requirements. The model provides a balanced combination of Hybrid ANC, 40mm drivers, quad microphones, low-latency functionality and extended battery performance, making it suitable for consumers seeking versatile wireless audio.

Under the leadership of Nitin Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CEO, and Sweta Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CMO, Kyptec LifeStyle® continues to develop its brand identity around practical technology, contemporary design, consumer preferences and long term business development. Supported by BalaJi MicroTechnologies Pvt. Ltd. and the wider B.B. Group of Companies, the brand remains focused on strengthening its presence in India’s competitive consumer audio market.

Through Kyptec LifeStyle® 620 Headphones, the company reinforces its commitment to combining useful audio technologies with everyday convenience. The product reflects the brand’s approach to serving consumers who expect powerful sound, clear communication, comfortable construction and dependable listening performance from a single wireless audio device.

New Delhi [India], October 13: NoBroker Packers and Movers, the relocation services vertical of NoBroker Technologies Solutions Private Limited, has won the Gold award in the “Best Use of AI/ML in Logistics” category at the ET Supply Chain Awards, held recently in New Delhi. The recognition places NoBroker Packers and Movers alongside some of the country’s most established industrial and consumer names, with other winners at the event including Tata Motors, ITC and Licious, underscoring the calibre of the competition and the scale of the achievement.

Organised under the aegis of The Economic Times’ supply chain vertical, the ET Supply Chain Awards recognise organisations reshaping logistics, warehousing and operations through measurable innovation. That a home-relocation service (a category long associated with word-of-mouth referrals, paper estimates and unpredictable moving-day experiences) should win Gold in an AI/ML logistics category says as much about how far the sector has evolved as it does about the platform itself.

Solving Relocation’s Oldest Problem With Data

India’s packers and movers industry has historically been fragmented and unorganised, with quality and pricing varying widely from city to city and vendor to vendor. NoBroker Packers and Movers was built specifically to bring structure to that chaos, offering customers verified service partners, transparent quotes and end-to-end coordination for household and office relocations, as an extension of NoBroker’s broader mission of removing middlemen and inefficiency from real estate-adjacent services.

It is this relocation vertical where artificial intelligence and machine learning appear to have been applied most directly:

1. Matching customers with the right moving partner based on location, load size and timelines
2. Forecasting demand across cities and seasons to ensure vehicle and manpower availability
3. Optimising routing and scheduling to cut down transit time and cost
4. Reducing the uncertainty that has traditionally made moving day one of the more stressful parts of relocating.

The ET Supply Chain Awards jury’s decision to recognise this work with Gold suggests that NoBroker Packers and Movers’ AI-led approach has matured well beyond a basic booking platform, into a logistics system capable of standing up against dedicated freight, warehousing and manufacturing players at a national awards platform.

Why Does This Award Matter?

Industry recognition of this kind matters for a few reasons:

• First, it validates NoBroker Packers and Movers’ positioning as a technology-led logistics service, not merely a marketplace connecting customers to local movers, a distinction the vertical has worked to establish since its inception.
• Second, it signals to the broader supply chain community that consumer-facing relocation services, not just enterprise freight and manufacturing operations, are becoming serious contributors to AI-led operational innovation in India.
• Third, for a business operating in a notoriously fragmented and unorganised market, an external, editorially-driven award offers a credible signal of execution quality to customers, franchise partners and investors alike.

The ET Supply Chain Awards are judged against the backdrop of India’s broader supply chain modernisation story. As e-commerce growth, urban migration and rising consumer expectations push logistics efficiency into sharper national focus, awards platforms such as this one have increasingly gravitated toward recognising AI and machine learning as the primary lever for the sector’s next phase of improvement whether that shows up in predictive fleet management and warehouse automation for large industrial players, or, as in this case, smarter orchestration of last-mile household relocations for millions of Indian consumers.

A Company Built on Removing Friction

NoBroker Packers and Movers operates under the umbrella of NoBroker Technologies Solutions Private Limited, founded in 2014 by Saurabh Garg, Amit Kumar Agarwal, and Akhil Gupta to eliminate brokerage costs from India’s residential real estate market. Over the past decade, the parent platform has expanded from a peer-to-peer rental and resale listing service into a broader ecosystem spanning home loans, legal and rental agreement services, interior and painting services, society management software, and relocation services each vertical built around the same core philosophy: apply technology to remove cost and inefficiency at every stage of a customer’s home journey, not just at the point of transaction.

Seen in that context, this Gold award is a natural extension of that philosophy rather than a departure from it, applying AI/ML capability built to solve inefficient matching and coordination problems in real estate to an equally fragmented, equally overdue-for-disruption category: packing, transport and relocation logistics.

Looking Ahead

For NoBroker Packers and Movers, the recognition arrives at a moment when India’s logistics and supply chain sector is under increasing scrutiny for its ability to modernise using data and AI rather than manual coordination and legacy processes. Standing shoulder to shoulder with established names such as Tata Motors and ITC at a national industry awards platform gives the relocation vertical a strong data point as it continues to scale across Indian cities.

Whether this Gold marks a one-off recognition or the start of a more visible presence for NoBroker Packers and Movers in logistics and supply chain circles will likely depend on how the vertical chooses to scale and showcase its AI/ML capabilities going forward but for now, the award stands as clear evidence that a service built to make moving homes easier is also, quite literally, learning to move smarter.

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], October 13: flexiProps, the Chennai-based AI-powered Wealth Operating System for India’s wealth advisory industry, today highlighted how its platform is replacing the patchwork of spreadsheets, CRMs and messaging apps that wealth professionals have relied on to manage client portfolios.

India’s mutual fund industry has grown roughly six-fold over the last decade, with assets under management crossing ₹81 lakh crore and monthly SIP contributions running into thousands of crores. But the tooling available to the wealth professionals managing that growth, including independent financial advisors (IFAs), mutual fund distributors (MFDs), SEBI-registered investment advisors (RIAs), wealth managers and family offices, has not kept pace. Most still run client portfolios across seven or more disconnected tools: spreadsheets for tracking, a generic CRM for client records, WhatsApp for communication, and separate product sheets for each asset class. The result is fragmented data, duplicated effort, and a client experience that struggles to match what private banks already offer.

“India’s mutual fund industry has grown six-fold in ten years and the tools have got fragmented for wealth professionals” said Sumedh Reddy, Co-Founder and CEO of flexiProps

flexiProps was built to close that gap. It replaces the fragmented toolkit with a single consolidated dashboard covering stocks, mutual funds, portfolio management services (PMS), alternative investment funds (AIFs), bonds, real estate and other alternative assets, giving wealth professionals one accurate, real-time view of every client relationship instead of several partial ones.

Built for the full wealth management workflow

The platform is designed around the day-to-day work of a wealth practice rather than around a single product category. It tracks performance with XIRR, computes advance-tax obligations alongside dividend management, and layers in AI-generated risk snapshots with consolidated IRR projections, so a wealth professional can see not just what a client holds, but how it is performing and what it means for their tax position.

• Performance and XIRR tracking across every asset class
• Advance-tax tracking with dividend management
• AI-generated risk snapshots and consolidated IRR projections
• CA-ready tax exports, built for filing season
• CRM, task management and sub-manager delegation for growing practices

“These are tax filing ready!” said Sumedh Reddy, Co-Founder and CEO of flexiProps

That emphasis on filing-ready output matters because tax computation has historically been one of the most manual, error-prone parts of a wealth professional’s job. By generating CA-ready exports directly from the same ledger used for day-to-day tracking, flexiProps removes a step that many practices still do by hand every quarter.

One platform, two roles

flexiProps uses a B2B2C architecture: wealth professionals and their investor clients share the same platform through role-based views. Wealth professionals get the practice-management layer, including consolidated portfolios, CRM, task and sub-manager management, and reporting. Their investor clients get a portfolio tracker and tax ledger of their own, so both sides of the relationship are working from the same data rather than reconciling it after the fact.

“Insurance advisors and mutual fund distributors already have the client trust — what they’ve never had is the infrastructure to manage a full wealth practice,” said Srinivas Mahankali, Co-Founder and CBO of flexiProps

That distinction matters in a market where more than a million IRDAI-licensed insurance advisors and over a hundred thousand AMFI-registered mutual fund distributors are actively looking to expand into wealth management, but have had no dedicated operating infrastructure to do it with. flexiProps positions itself as the on-ramp for that expansion as much as a tool for advisors already managing diversified portfolios.

Why now

flexiProps points to a combination of factors driving the timing of its push: rapid AI adoption among advisors who are now comfortable with AI-powered tools, a government-led financial inclusion push through SEBI, AMFI and IRDAI that is deepening distribution into tier 2 and tier 3 cities, and a broader shift in client expectations as more than 27 crore mutual fund folios and growing monthly SIP volumes make retail investors expect the same portfolio visibility that institutional investors already have. Against that backdrop, the company argues that the wealth professional, not just the end investor, is the segment that has been underserved by technology so far.

Retail expansion brings together entrepreneurship, investment and the ambition to build scalable businesses

Navsari (Gujarat) [India], October 13: Branded Factory Global Ltd., an investee company of Bada Business, led by Dr Vivek Bindra, has expanded its retail presence with the launch of a new outlet in Navsari, Gujarat. The launch marks a new milestone in the company’s retail expansion and brings a broader conversation about business growth, investment and scalability into focus.

Spread across approximately 40,000 square feet, the outlet brings together more than 200 brands across apparel, footwear, home furnishing, electronics and general merchandise. With discounts of up to 80% across various categories, the store aims to offer customers a wide selection of branded products at competitive prices.

The launch was attended by celebrity guest Munmun Dutta, widely recognised for portraying Babita Iyer in the popular television show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. Leading digital creators were also present at the event.

For Dr Vivek Bindra, Founder & CEO of Bada Business, entrepreneurship and business growth extend beyond starting a venture. Building a business that can grow sustainably requires clear processes, effective management, financial discipline and the ability to adapt to new markets. His work through Bada Business reflects a focus on helping entrepreneurs strengthen these fundamentals and prepare for the next stage of growth.

Through its Idea to IPO initiative, Bada Business focuses on business readiness, stronger systems and long-term scalability. While Branded Factory’s Navsari launch represents a retail expansion milestone, it also provides a relevant context for discussing the wider challenges businesses face as they grow.

Mr Basant Gandhi, Founder of Branded Factory, said, “Our aim is to offer customers branded products across multiple categories in one place, giving them a combination of choice, convenience and competitive prices. The Navsari outlet is an important step in expanding our retail presence and reaching more customers.”

Branded Factory is exploring further expansion opportunities, including strengthening its presence in Bhilwara, evaluating opportunities in Godara and considering franchise-led growth in additional markets.

New Delhi [India], October 12: Artificial intelligence is increasingly being viewed as a strategic national asset rather than just another technology trend. Over the past decade, countries have competed to build digital economies through connectivity, software innovation, and data-driven services. Today, the focus is shifting toward something deeper: the infrastructure required to power AI itself.

Much like energy resources shaped economic and geopolitical influence in previous decades, AI infrastructure is beginning to play a similar role. Compute capacity, data centres, semiconductors, and cloud platforms are becoming critical building blocks for economic growth, technological competitiveness, and national resilience. According to Next Move Strategy Consulting’s report, the global Sovereign AI Infrastructure Market was valued at USD 61.4 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 726.58 billion by 2035, reflecting the growing importance countries are placing on domestic AI capabilities.

The New Fuel Behind the AI Economy

The rapid adoption of Generative AI, Enterprise AI, and large language models has triggered an unprecedented surge in demand for computing resources. Training and running advanced AI models requires thousands of GPUs, high-performance storage systems, advanced networking infrastructure, and massive data centre capacity.

This growing demand is reshaping investment priorities worldwide. Governments across LATAM, EMEA and APAC are investing heavily in AI infrastructure, data centres, semiconductor manufacturing, and sovereign cloud ecosystems. Increasingly, nations are recognising that relying entirely on foreign infrastructure for AI development could create long-term economic and strategic dependencies.

The conversation is no longer limited to software innovation. It is now about who owns the infrastructure that powers AI, where data is processed, and how future digital economies will be built.

Why Domestic Compute Capacity Matters

Access to computing power has become one of the most important requirements for AI development. Organisations building AI applications need reliable access to GPUs, cloud infrastructure, storage, and networking environments capable of supporting large-scale workloads.

However, dependence on overseas infrastructure can create challenges around availability, latency, compliance, and data governance. As AI becomes embedded in sectors such as healthcare, finance, manufacturing, education, and government, the need for sovereign cloud, data residency, and locally governed infrastructure is becoming more important.

This is particularly relevant for countries like India, where AI adoption is accelerating rapidly. Organisations increasingly want infrastructure that not only delivers performance but also aligns with local regulatory requirements and keeps critical workloads closer to where data is generated and consumed.

India’s Opportunity in the AI Infrastructure Era

India has already demonstrated its ability to build digital public infrastructure at scale through initiatives such as Aadhaar, UPI, and ONDC. The next phase of growth may depend on whether the country can build similar capabilities in AI infrastructure.

The government has already taken important steps through the IndiaAI Mission, while private sector investments in data centres, cloud computing, and AI-ready infrastructure continue to grow. At the same time, demand for domestic compute resources is rising as enterprises move from AI experimentation to production-scale deployments.

This creates a significant opportunity for India’s cloud ecosystem. Building domestic GPU infrastructure, expanding cloud services, strengthening data centre capacity, and enabling secure AI workloads could help reduce dependence on overseas infrastructure while supporting the country’s growing AI ambitions.

Rahul Takkallapally, Co-Founder, BharathCloud, shared, “AI innovation ultimately depends on infrastructure. Models, applications, and AI services can only scale when organisations have reliable access to compute, storage, and secure cloud environments. The countries that invest in building that foundation today will be better positioned to participate in the AI economy of tomorrow.”

Building the Foundations of the AI Economy

The long-term success of AI will depend on much more than algorithms alone. It will require investments in cloud infrastructure, AI compute, data centres, cybersecurity, and managed services that allow organisations to build, deploy, and scale AI applications efficiently.

For India, the opportunity is not simply about adopting AI. It is about creating an infrastructure ecosystem that enables AI innovation to happen within the country. As businesses increasingly prioritise sovereign AI, data governance, and local cloud infrastructure, demand for domestic compute capacity is likely to continue growing.

The global race for AI leadership is already underway. While software and models often attract the headlines, the real foundation lies beneath them. Just as energy infrastructure powered industrial economies, AI infrastructure is emerging as the foundation of the next digital economy. Just as energy infrastructure shaped economic power in the industrial era, AI infrastructure is poised to shape influence in the digital age.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], October 13: Assetz Twin Lake City, a 21-acre community of 3 & 4 BHK apartments in Horamavu, reflects a wider shift as large-format homebuyers turn to Bengaluru’s Hennur–Horamavu corridor. Open space, lakes and quick access to employment hubs are reshaping how families choose a home.

Developed by Assetz Property Group in Kalkere, North-East Bengaluru, the project is awaiting RERA registration. Here is what is driving interest in the corridor, and what buyers should verify before shortlisting any home.

Why 3 & 4 BHK Homes Are in Demand

Hybrid work has changed what households expect from their homes. A corner desk has become a dedicated home office. Growing families want separate rooms for children and visiting parents without moving farther from work.

That shift is lifting interest in 4 BHK flats in Bangalore, particularly among luxury apartments in North Bangalore. Larger land parcels there allow lower-density planning and more shared green space.

Buyers are also weighing lifestyle factors more carefully. Landscaped open areas, walking tracks and community spaces now sit alongside bedroom count when families compare options, especially households with young children or older relatives.

Survey data support the trend. According to Anarock’s H1 2026 homebuyer sentiment survey, as reported by Outlook Money, Bengaluru recorded the highest preference for 4 BHK and larger homes among the cities surveyed, at 10%.

The Hennur–Horamavu Advantage

Location is the other half of the story. Assetz Twin Lake City is about 4 km from the Outer Ring Road, 3 km from the Hennur Road junction, 6 km from KR Puram and 8 km from Manyata Tech Park. Kempegowda International Airport is a 35–45 minute drive, depending on traffic.

For professionals working across North and East Bengaluru, that mix explains why flats on Hennur Road and flats in Horamavu are increasingly appearing on shortlists. The project’s Kalkere location keeps daily commutes manageable while leaving room for larger layouts and open planning.

Social infrastructure is established nearby. Education options include National Public School, Hennur and CMR University. Cloudnine Hospital in HRBR Layout and Manipal Hospital in Hebbal serve healthcare needs.

Inside Assetz Twin Lake City: 3 & 4 BHK Floor Plans and Layout

The project occupies about 21 acres within an approximately 120-acre township. According to project details, the plan features two lakes and 86% open space, with towers of G+30 and G+34 floors.

The 3 BHK flats in Horamavu at this development measure 2,089 sq.ft. and 2,347 sq.ft., while the 4 BHK apartments measure 2,844 sq.ft. The Assetz Twin Lake City floor plans use a layout designed for cross-ventilation and natural light. Details are available in the project’s 3 & 4 BHK floor plans.

Landscaped gardens, jogging tracks and recreation zones are built into the plan, reflecting a master plan layout that prioritises light, space and greenery over density.

A 70,000 sq.ft. clubhouse anchors more than 55 amenities. These include a temperature-controlled swimming pool, gymnasium, spa, yoga room, sports courts and a jogging track.

“Families looking at large homes today think about how a place feels, not just how it looks on paper. Open space, greenery and a sensible drive to work come up again and again when people talk to us about this corridor.”

New Delhi [India], October 13: Anyone who has cracked an iPhone screen on a Monday morning knows the feeling. The phone still works, sort of, but every swipe is a small gamble, and the thought of leaving it at a repair counter for a week feels almost worse than the crack itself. Solutionhubtech, a Delhi-based Apple device repair specialist, says that’s exactly the problem it set out to fix.

The company has expanded its repair services for iPhones and iPads, with a clear focus on three things customers keep asking for: quick turnaround, honest diagnosis, and pricing that doesn’t change once the device is opened up.

A repair experience built around the customer’s day

Most people don’t plan for a broken phone. It happens on the way to work, during a school run, or right before a trip. Solutionhubtech has shaped its process around that reality. Common jobs like screen replacements, battery swaps, and charging port repairs are handled as quickly as possible, and in many cases customers can get their device back the same day.

“People rely on their phones for everything now. Payments, work calls, their kids’ school updates, all of it,” said a spokesperson for Solutionhubtech. “When an iPhone stops working, it isn’t a small inconvenience. We try to treat every repair with that in mind. Tell people the truth about what’s wrong, give them a fair price, and get the device back in their hands as fast as we safely can.”

Customers looking for iPhone repair in Delhi can book through the company’s website, where the range of services is laid out plainly. That includes cracked and unresponsive displays, battery health problems, camera faults, speaker and microphone issues, Face ID trouble, charging failures, and water damage. Older models are covered alongside the newer ones, which matters in a city where plenty of people are still happily using a phone that’s three or four years old and simply need it working again.

iPads get the same attention

iPads tend to get overlooked in conversations about device repair, but they’ve quietly become essential in a lot of Delhi homes and offices. Students attend classes on them. Designers sketch on them. Small business owners use them as billing counters. When an iPad screen shatters or the battery starts dying by lunchtime, it disrupts more than people expect.

Solutionhubtech’s iPad repair in Delhi service covers screen and digitizer replacement, battery replacement, charging port repair, button and connector faults, and software-related problems that stop the device from booting or updating properly. The technicians work across the iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad Pro ranges.

“An iPad repair is a different job from a phone repair,” the spokesperson explained. “The screens are larger and the adhesive work is more delicate, and on some models the display and touch layers behave differently. Rushing it is how devices end up coming back. We’d rather take the extra half hour and do it right.”

Transparency over guesswork

One complaint the team hears again and again from new customers is about past experiences elsewhere: a quote given over the phone, then a much higher bill once the device was opened, or a repair that “fixed” one thing and broke another. Solutionhubtech says it avoids this by diagnosing the device first and walking the customer through what’s actually wrong before any work begins.

If a battery is the real culprit behind a phone that won’t hold charge, customers are told that, rather than being pushed toward a pricier part they don’t need. If a device isn’t worth repairing, the team says so. It’s a simple approach, but in a crowded market full of roadside counters and vague promises, it’s one the company believes sets it apart.

Data privacy is treated just as seriously. Customers are encouraged to back up their devices before a repair, and the team avoids accessing personal content beyond what’s strictly needed to test that a repair has worked.

Serving a city that runs on its phones

Delhi has one of the largest populations of smartphone users in the country, and Apple devices have become far more common across the city over the past few years. That growth has created real demand for repair services people can actually trust, not just the cheapest or the closest option.

Solutionhubtech hopes to be that dependable name. Its expanded services are aimed at everyone from college students in North Campus to working professionals in South Delhi, along with families and small businesses that can’t afford to go a week without a working device.

“Nobody wakes up wanting to visit a repair shop,” the spokesperson added. “So if someone has to, we want them to walk out thinking, that was easier than I expected. That’s really the whole goal.”

About Solutionhubtech

Solutionhubtech is a Delhi-based repair service specializing in Apple devices, including iPhones and iPads. The company offers diagnostics, hardware repairs, and software troubleshooting, with a focus on quick turnaround, clear pricing, and careful handling of every device.

New Delhi [India], October 13: Dhanuka Infra Realty Ltd CEO Yogesh Dhanuka calls for greater accountability of approving authorities, practical reforms in escrow provisions and safeguards for commercial confidentiality

India’s real estate sector needs a regulatory framework that protects homebuyers while ensuring that responsible developers are not penalised for circumstances beyond their control, according to an industry perspective calling for the next phase of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) to focus on balanced accountability, transparency and time-bound approvals.

Introduced to bring greater transparency, accountability and discipline to the real estate sector, RERA has played an important role in addressing concerns around delayed possession, project disclosures and developer commitments. However, as the industry gains experience with the regulatory framework, questions are emerging over whether accountability should extend beyond developers to other stakeholders involved in the execution of real estate projects.

“RERA rightly made developers accountable. Now the approving authorities need to be accountable too. Fair rules for every party will protect buyers better than one-sided rules ever can,” CEO Yogesh Dhanuka states.

A real estate project typically involves multiple stakeholders, including government departments, municipal bodies, utility providers, financial institutions and environmental authorities. Delays in approvals, statutory clearances, utility connections or court proceedings can affect project timelines even when developers have completed their responsibilities.

Accountability Must Extend Across the Project Lifecycle

The industry view emphasises that developers should face consequences for delays arising from inadequate planning, financial mismanagement, poor execution or failure to honour commitments. However, delays attributable to external agencies should be assessed separately through a transparent and independent mechanism.

“Real estate development is a multi-agency process. A developer may be ready to deliver a project, but approvals, utility connections or other statutory clearances can lie beyond their control. Accountability must extend to every stakeholder in the chain, so that homebuyers are protected without penalising developers for delays they could not prevent,” Dhanuka Infra Realty Ltd CEO states.

Such an approach, it argues, would help distinguish between genuine developer defaults and delays caused by circumstances outside their reasonable control. It would also ensure that homebuyers receive appropriate protection without placing the entire burden of a multi-agency process on a single stakeholder.

Transparency Without Compromising Commercial Confidentiality

Another area identified for reconsideration is the extent of commercial information disclosed publicly under the regulatory framework.

Access to information on land titles, statutory approvals, construction progress, possession timelines and project-related commitments is essential for buyers to make informed decisions. However, the industry view suggests that disclosure requirements should distinguish between information necessary for consumer protection and sensitive commercial information that may not directly influence a buyer’s decision.

“Transparency is essential to building trust with homebuyers, but transparency should not mean that every commercial detail or engineering decision becomes public information. Buyers need clear information about approvals, project progress and delivery commitments. Detailed cost structures and proprietary designs, however, deserve reasonable safeguards against misuse,” Yogesh Dhanuka states.

The proposed approach would retain regulatory access to detailed project information while considering whether public disclosures could be limited to relevant summaries in certain areas. The objective would be to maintain accountability without unnecessarily exposing pricing strategies, project margins, inventory-related information or proprietary technical details.

Escrow Rules and Construction Cash Flow

The industry perspective also highlights the practical implications of RERA’s requirement that developers deposit 70% of the amounts realised from homebuyers into a separate account for land and construction costs.

While the provision is intended to safeguard buyer funds and prevent their diversion to unrelated projects, the timing of withdrawals can create operational challenges, particularly when developers need to make advance payments to suppliers for construction materials.

“The intent behind ring-fencing 70 per cent of homebuyer collections is understandable and important. The practical challenge arises when developers must pay advances to suppliers for essential construction materials while withdrawals remain linked to certified work completed. A project-sensitive mechanism that safeguards buyer funds while accommodating genuine supplier advances could improve execution without compromising financial discipline,” the CEO of Dhanuka Infra Realty Ltd. states.

A more flexible, appropriately monitored mechanism could help address legitimate procurement requirements while retaining safeguards against the misuse of homebuyer funds.

A More Predictable Regulatory Framework

The broader recommendation is to refine RERA’s implementation rather than dilute its core objectives. Proportionate compliance requirements, balanced appeal mechanisms and time-bound approvals could help improve predictability for both buyers and developers.

“Protecting homebuyers and enabling responsible real estate development are not competing objectives. Developers who default must face consequences, but the regulatory framework should also provide proportionate compliance, balanced appeal mechanisms and time-bound approvals. A fair and predictable system will strengthen buyer confidence while allowing genuine developers to deliver projects more efficiently,” Yogesh Dhanuka adds.

As India’s housing market evolves, the next phase of RERA could focus on ensuring that responsibility follows control, disclosures remain meaningful and regulatory processes account for the practical realities of construction.

The central objective, Yogesh Dhanuka concludes, should be a system that protects homebuyers, holds defaulting developers accountable and enables responsible businesses to complete projects efficiently. A balanced framework could strengthen trust across the sector while supporting more predictable and sustainable real estate development.

New Delhi [India], October 12: India now has over 1.03 billion internet users as of 2026, 68.5% of the population, and roughly 530 million of them are active on WhatsApp. A 2026 analysis of India’s online misinformation landscape found that health-related content is the single largest misinformation category circulating on social platforms and WhatsApp, ahead of even political and religious misinformation. Livlong 365 argues this isn’t just a nuisance, it’s actively delaying the moment people walk into a doctor’s clinic.

How a Forward Becomes a Diagnosis

The pattern is familiar in most Indian households: a family WhatsApp group, a forwarded message about a “silent” symptom or a home remedy, and a person quietly deciding their own fatigue or discomfort matches what they just read, rather than what a doctor would say.

• Health researchers tracking this trend describe India’s health-influencer ecosystem as a new “WhatsApp University”, content spreads faster than fact-checkers can respond to it.
• As one Indian public-health researcher tracking this space put it, digital literacy has improved, but health literacy is still where it was, people are online more than ever, but that hasn’t made them better at judging health claims.
• The result is a kind of self-triage: people match symptoms to whatever explanation feels least alarming, and treat that as settled.

When “It’s Probably Nothing” Turns Serious

This is especially risky with cardiac symptoms, which are easily mistaken for fatigue, acidity, or stress.

• India’s cardiovascular disease burden has nearly tripled in the last seven years, per a 2025 National Statistical Office health survey, hospitalisation for cardiovascular disease among 30–44-year-olds alone stood at 7.3% in 2025.
• A late-2025/early-2026 nationwide survey of nearly 300 cardiologists (commissioned by TATA AIG) found that three in four cardiologists now see most of their heart patients under age 50, with 36% reporting patients as young as 31–40, and flagged how often people miss the early red flags of heart trouble.
• The same survey found a financial cost to delay: nearly 60% of cardiologists say most of their patients can’t afford advanced treatment once a condition has progressed, with cardiology treatment costs having risen nearly 65% in five years.

The Real Cost of a Delayed Diagnosis

The pattern isn’t limited to cardiac care. A 2025 Indian study tracking 150 breast cancer patients found that 82.6% experienced some form of delay in their care pathway, and 58.6% faced an overall delay from symptom onset to treatment start, with a median delay of 109 days. The study’s authors point to misdiagnosis, neglect, and reliance on informal advice from family as recurring themes behind that gap, exactly the space that self-diagnosis via forwarded messages tends to fill.

Why This Isn’t Simply an “Awareness” Problem

It’s tempting to frame this as a digital-literacy gap, but researchers studying the phenomenon in India caution against that framing. Self-diagnosis is often a response to real structural gaps in the healthcare system, repeated dismissal, communication breakdowns, or a patient’s own symptoms being downplayed on a previous visit. Women with persistent pain conditions, for instance, are frequently told their symptoms are “stress-related” or “hormonal,” which pushes them toward the internet for clarity, often delaying care further in the process.

That reframes the real problem: it isn’t that people search for information, it’s that the loop never closes with a qualified professional confirming or correcting the self-diagnosis.

“The instinct to look something up isn’t the issue, the issue is when that search becomes the final word instead of the first step. We see this constantly: someone reads a WhatsApp forward, decides it explains their symptom, and quietly shelves the idea of seeing a doctor. Our job at Livlong 365 is to make that next step, an actual consultation or a diagnostic test, as easy as the forward was to read.” “The instinct to look something up isn’t the issue, the issue is when that search becomes the final word instead of the first step. We see this constantly: someone reads a WhatsApp forward, decides it explains their symptom, and quietly shelves the idea of seeing a doctor. Our job at Livlong 365 is to make that next step, an actual consultation or a diagnostic test, as easy as the forward was to read.”

Dr Sonal Mhatre, BHMS, Senior Manager – Clinical Operations, LivLong 365, said “By the time some patients come to us, they’ve already self-treated for weeks based on something they read online. The forward isn’t always wrong on facts, it’s wrong on context. A generic symptom list can’t account for someone’s age, history, or risk factors the way a five-minute consultation can.”

Not Just Raising Awareness

Livlong 365 frames its role here as a bridge rather than a lecture: making it just as easy to book a real consultation or a diagnostic test as it is to read a forwarded message.

• Encouraging people to treat online information as a prompt to consult, not a substitute for one
• Making OPD consultations and lab testing accessible enough that “I’ll just Google it” isn’t the path of least resistance
• Supporting preventive check-ups so conditions are caught before symptoms are severe enough to misinterpret in the first place

New Delhi [India], October 12: Once upon a time, a Diwali evening didn’t require much planning at all. Sweets, savouries, guests calling on the off-chance and before you knew it, someone would produce a pack of cards. The living room would slowly transform itself into the game room, and that’s where Tambola, Teen Patti, Antakshari and Housie would take place till very late at night. The games were never what mattered. It was the being together.

As celebrations have shifted from feast-filled family gatherings to thoughtfully curated dinners, house parties and small socials with friends and co-workers, that spirit of the holiday is taking new shapes. The games have changed as well. While classic games remain popular, a new generation of hosts is introducing poker, strategy games, modern board games and even curated game-night experiences; it’s less about winners, and more about ensuring everyone at the table has something to do.

From the neighborhood Housie game to the curated game night

Diwali games have been unorganised for several generations. One person would call out, “Tambola game!” while another would deliver a pack of cards, and before you know it, people are involved. The contemporary Diwali gathering, though, is more and more tailored to create experiences.

Gaurav Bhagat, Founder and MD, Consortium Gifts

Living rooms are now entertainment rooms and the host is mindful of every detail, from the playlist and table decor to the presentation of the food and the activities that will entertain the guests. And in this environment, games have been given something of an interesting second life. The classic card game can be transformed into the more curated game night, where the game itself becomes part of the aesthetics and entertainment for the evening. Whether it is an artfully arranged deck of cards, or a board game or poker set, it complements the candles, the decor and the dinner table rather than competing with it.

Why adults are rediscovering games

Maybe the most captivating aspect of this move has been how games are no longer thought of as a “children’s activity” or confined to a family setting. For the busy professional or city-dwelling younger crowd, a game night is one of the rare opportunities to have an alibi to leave the device behind and engage.

The thing is, in our always-online world, some face-to-face entertainment actually sounds quite inviting. A bunch of people gathered around a table, arguing over the rules, sharing a laugh when someone makes a surprising move or just plain ribbing the person who takes the game too seriously, can provide the kind of informal engagement that a deliberate dinner sometimes cannot. Now is the time for Diwali, when calendars are often packed with two or three parties in quick succession, and, more often than not, what people remember about the gatherings is less about the decor and more about what actually took place there.

Perhaps a story was swapped, the game played just a little bit longer than intended or everyone just stayed for “one more round.”

Welcome to the Diwali Living Room of Poker

Poker is a particularly good fit for this age of casualness, since it is comfortable and elegant at once. Poker’s visual lexicon, meanwhile, has taken on over the past few decades a new connection to high-end entertainment: chips, cards, a case, a table, and the gathering of friends around it, adding a touch of theatre to an otherwise boring night. But it is not about turning your lounge into a casino; this thing has to remain relaxed: some friends, some food, a little music, and a game that provides conversation fuel for everyone.

Premium poker sets are therefore beginning to carve out an intriguing position as a new and novel gift to entertain, particularly for a gifting occasion. For example: Noida’s famous and most loved Consortium Gifts 300-piece Poker Chip Set, which is housed in a conveniently structured black polycarbonate case with poker chips of various denominations, alongside playing cards and accessories. This is not only a present by itself, but also lends itself as the foundation for an evening of play, a hosted night of gambling and entertainment, and it can be used long after the holiday season is over.

Perhaps that is ultimately the strength of experience as a gift in these times. A more traditional gift might be used once and then discarded, where a live and time-based experience can create memories.

The new Diwali tradition: play post-dinner

Some have noted a sense of timing to the games. Historically, Diwali entertainment was more food-centric: dinner, mithai, snacks and drinks. Today, however, modern day hosting is as much about creating a second act to the night, as it is about the first one. Dinner is over. The music is still playing. The dessert arrives. And then somebody asks, “Shall we play something?” That is the beginning of the modern game night. It could be a card game between old friends, a board game with cousins, a strategy game with colleagues or poker night with a few friends. The structure doesn’t matter so much, but you’re aiming for an activity that will keep everyone at the table.

For hosts, it is also a surprisingly convenient solution to a surprisingly common party problem, what to do after everyone has eaten.

A well-thought-out game turns into an icebreaker for acquaintances and an immediate topic of conversation for people who already know each other. It makes an intimate affair more lively without the need for expensive entertainment.

From gifting a thing to gifting a thrill

What’s this change all about? Well, one is the shift we are seeing among people towards Diwali gifting which is increasingly leaning towards items that are functional, personalised and experiential. The question of ‘What will look good in a gift box?’ is giving way to ‘What will they actually do with it?’ A game set is an especially attractive option in this situation as it is, at once, a gift and an invitation. An invitation to entertain, a reason to gather and a way to enjoy each other’s company. The second part of this statement is especially interesting to corporate gifting, as organisations look beyond the more traditional festive hampers.

What they want now are offerings that can move seamlessly from the work environment into the home and facilitate socialising. What would make a fantastic family occasion gift, a weekend spent with friends or a regular feature of the recipient’s hosting rota?

A quality game set.

Adult game night is going nowhere

Maybe the bigger Diwali game makeover isn’t about substituting Tambola with poker or Housie with board games but about redefining what a celebration can be like. There’s room for the loud tambola caller, the competitive teen patti table, family antakshari, for the cousin who needs to change the game halfway but what is great about the traditional celebration is also that there’s room for all that and for something newer, curated and experiential. After all, the core has always been about uniting people, from a group of roadies going door-to-door with the old neighbourhood Housie board to a star-studded table with curated music and Instagram-worthy decor – the one thing that remains is that yes, people are having a good time, sitting around a table, talking, joking, competing, and creating memories that last longer than the diya’s flame. Maybe, that’s the Diwali game’s real grown-up upgrade , not playing differently, but just playing in different ways.

Developed by a German-Trained Engineer, MeritUp introduces a structured testing approach designed to strengthen conceptual understanding, logical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.

Vadodara (Gujarat) [India], October 13: Students today have access to countless books, online courses and practice questions. However, despite these resources, many students continue to struggle when familiar concepts appear in unfamiliar or challenging questions.

One major reason is the gap between memorising information and truly understanding how to apply it.

MeritUp, an emerging Indian EdTech platform, aims to address this challenge through its educational philosophy, “A Journey to Concept Clarity.”

Scheduled to officially launch on 20 October 2026, MeritUp introduces a Concept-First Testing Platform designed to help students develop stronger conceptual understanding through structured and progressive practice.

What Is MeritUp?

MeritUp is an educational testing platform focused on helping students understand concepts before moving towards complex problem-solving.

Instead of encouraging students to attempt large numbers of questions without a clear progression, MeritUp organises practice chapter-wise and gradually increases conceptual complexity.

The platform aims to make testing an active part of learning, where students can identify weaknesses, understand mistakes and strengthen their foundations.

Its central philosophy is simple: Understand the Concept First, Then Test Your Knowledge.

How Does MeritUp’s Concept-First Testing Method Work?

One of MeritUp’s key features is its structured testing methodology, which progresses through three levels of conceptual understanding.

Each 15-question concept test is organised into three stages:

Stage 1 — Single-Concept Testing (Questions 1–5): Students begin with questions focusing on one individual concept. This stage evaluates their understanding of the fundamental principle.

Stage 2 — Two-Concept Testing (Questions 6–10): The next stage requires students to connect and apply two related concepts, encouraging logical thinking and deeper understanding.

Stage 3 — Multi-Concept Testing (Questions 11–15): Students attempt questions involving multiple interconnected concepts, helping them practise analytical reasoning and advanced problem-solving.

This progressive structure helps students move systematically from basic understanding towards more challenging applications.

Learning Through Detailed Solutions

MeritUp believes that answering a question correctly is only one part of learning. Understanding why an answer is correct is equally important.

The platform emphasises detailed, step-by-step solutions that explain the reasoning behind questions.

By reviewing explanations and understanding their mistakes, students can revisit weak concepts and improve their approach to future problems.

The objective is not simply to increase the number of questions solved, but to improve the quality of understanding developed through practice.

Developed by a German-Trained Engineer

MeritUp has been developed under the vision of a German-trained engineer with an academic background in Mathematical Engineering and Mathematical Analysis and Modelling.

Drawing inspiration from mathematical reasoning, analytical thinking and systematic problem-solving, the platform introduces an engineering-inspired approach to educational testing.

The idea behind MeritUp is to encourage students to build strong foundations before attempting increasingly complex problems.

Who Can Benefit from MeritUp?

For Classes 6 to 10, the platform focuses on building fundamental concepts through structured chapter-wise practice.

For Classes 11 and 12, including JEE and NEET aspirants, it aims to support stronger subject understanding and competitive examination preparation.

Its concept-first approach is intended to help students practise systematically, recognise learning gaps and build confidence in applying what they study.

Official Launch and Future Vision

MeritUp is scheduled to officially launch on 20 October 2026, marking the introduction of its concept-first educational testing approach.

With its philosophy “A Journey to Concept Clarity,” MeritUp aims to encourage learning that values conceptual understanding, logical reasoning and continuous improvement.

Students, parents and educators can learn more at www.meritup.in.

About MeritUp

MeritUp is an emerging Indian EdTech initiative based in Gujarat, focused on concept-first learning and structured academic testing. Its educational approach combines progressive chapter-wise practice, conceptual problem-solving and detailed explanations.

Bellance Salon, Raipur Outlet

New Delhi [India], October 13: Bellance Salon, a premium beauty and wellness brand focused on delivering elevated salon experiences, is accelerating its expansion across India with plans to establish 15 new locations across key markets including GK-1 & DLF Midtown in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon (Gurugram), Indirapuram, Raipur, Mysore, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Agra. The expansion marks a significant new phase in Bellance Salon’s growth journey as the brand works towards building a strong multi-city presence in India’s rapidly evolving premium salon, beauty and wellness industry.

The latest expansion builds on Bellance’s growth journey since its inception. Earlier this year, the brand’s first-year milestone and growth plans were highlighted in an ANI feature titled “One Year of Bellance: From Vision to Three Operational Outlets, with London Debut Headlining a 12-Salon Roadmap for 2026.” The feature highlighted Bellance’s journey from its initial vision to three operational outlets and its ambitious roadmap of reaching a 12-salon network in 2026, alongside plans for international growth.

Bellance is now entering its next stage of expansion, with a growing network planned across some of India’s most prominent metropolitan and emerging markets.

Bellance Expands Across Key Indian Markets

The upcoming Bellance locations are strategically spread across Delhi NCR and North, Central, South and West India, covering GK-1 Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Indirapuram, Raipur, Mysore, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Agra.

In Delhi NCR, the brand is strengthening its footprint across high-demand premium lifestyle markets with planned locations in GK-1 & DLF Midtown in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon and Indirapuram. These markets have witnessed growing demand for organised and premium beauty services, particularly among customers looking for professional expertise, personalised consultations and elevated salon experiences.

Beyond Delhi NCR, Bellance is expanding into Raipur, Mysore, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Agra, allowing the brand to reach a wider customer base and establish itself across multiple high-growth beauty and lifestyle markets.

The multi-city expansion reflects Bellance’s strategy of combining established urban markets with emerging cities where the demand for premium salon and beauty services continues to grow.

Building a Premium Salon and Beauty Experience

Bellance Salon is positioning itself as a premium beauty and wellness destination rather than simply a conventional salon chain. The brand focuses on creating a sophisticated customer experience through professional expertise, contemporary salon environments, premium products and personalised services.

Its offerings span key beauty categories including hair, skin, nails, makeup and minimal aesthetics services, with an emphasis on modern techniques and individualised customer requirements.

As consumer expectations within India’s beauty industry continue to evolve, customers are increasingly seeking professional salon brands that can offer consistent service quality, skilled professionals, premium products and a comfortable, experience-led environment.

Bellance aims to address this changing demand by creating a consistent premium salon experience across its expanding network.

From Bengaluru to a Wider National Footprint

Bengaluru has played an important role in Bellance’s growth journey, with the brand building its presence in the city as part of its early expansion. The company is now looking beyond its existing markets and developing a broader national network.

The upcoming locations in Mysore and Hyderabad, alongside new locations in Raipur, Pune, Agra and Delhi NCR, represent Bellance’s next phase of national growth.

The company aims to build a scalable model while maintaining its focus on professional expertise, quality, customer service and a premium brand experience as the number of locations increases.

Bellance Looks Beyond India

Alongside its aggressive India expansion, Bellance is also gearing up to open international locations, marking the brand’s next step towards building a global presence in the premium beauty and wellness industry. This international expansion reflects Bellance’s broader ambition to take its premium salon experience beyond India and establish the brand across key global beauty and lifestyle markets.

The move towards international markets adds another dimension to Bellance’s expansion roadmap, positioning the brand not only as a growing Indian salon company but also as an emerging beauty and wellness brand with global ambitions.

With India remaining a core growth market, the combination of domestic and international expansion is expected to play an important role in Bellance’s long-term brand-building strategy.

Growing Demand for Premium Salon Services in India

India’s salon, beauty and wellness industry is undergoing a significant transformation, with consumers increasingly moving towards organised and premium service providers.

Growing awareness around personal grooming, professional hair care, skincare, beauty treatments and wellness is contributing to increased demand for specialised salon experiences.

The premium salon segment is also becoming increasingly competitive, with consumers evaluating brands based on expertise, product quality, hygiene, technology, ambience and overall customer experience.

Bellance’s expansion strategy is designed around these changing consumer preferences, with the brand focusing on delivering a combination of professional beauty expertise, premium services and personalised customer experiences.

A New Phase of Bellance’s Growth

With 15 locations planned across GK-1 Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Indirapuram, Raipur, Mysore, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Agra, Bellance Salon is entering an important phase of its expansion journey.

Bellance currently has four operational outlets, including Bellance Nails at Zora Mall, Raipur. The brand’s growth strategy builds on that foundation and on its previously announced 12-salon roadmap for 2026. With additional international locations also being planned, Bellance is aiming to create a stronger presence both within India and across global markets.

As the company expands, its focus will remain on maintaining a consistent premium experience across locations while continuing to invest in professional talent, beauty expertise, customer service and innovation.

The next chapter of Bellance’s journey will therefore be defined not only by the number of salons it opens, but by the quality and consistency of the experience it delivers to customers across every market.

With its growing footprint across GK-1 Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Indirapuram, Raipur, Mysore, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Agra, along with its plans for international expansion, Bellance is positioning itself for a larger role in India’s premium salon, beauty and wellness industry and laying the foundation for a globally recognised beauty brand.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 13: ANASSAI, a new-age jewelry brand created for the modern woman, announces its official launch in India with a curated collection of contemporary jewelry designed to make everyday moments feel extraordinary.

Built around the philosophy “Modern Icons for the Everyday Extraordinary,” ANASSAI brings together timeless elegance and modern design to create pieces that move effortlessly from everyday dressing and work wear to evenings, celebrations and special occasions.

The debut collection features a versatile selection of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, bangles and rings, ranging from refined everyday essentials to expressive statement pieces. Each design reflects ANASSAI’s distinctive aesthetic — chic, polished and sophisticated, while remaining easy to style and wear.

At the heart of ANASSAI is the belief that luxury should not be reserved only for special occasions. Jewelry can be part of a woman’s everyday expression — a subtle detail that transforms a look, reflects a mood or simply makes an ordinary day feel a little more special.

ANASSAI jewelry is crafted using premium quality stainless steel and finished with 18K PVD gold plating, combining contemporary design with durability. The pieces are designed to be waterproof, anti-tarnish and made for long-lasting shine, offering jewelry that complements the pace of modern lifestyles.

“With ANASSAI, our vision is to redefine everyday luxury. The idea came from something I experienced personally — I was tired of seeing the same designs repeated across jewelry platforms and Instagram stores. I wanted to curate pieces that felt distinctive and thoughtfully chosen, rather than something you could find everywhere.

ANASSAI is about creating modern icons that become part of a woman’s story — pieces she reaches for instinctively, wears with confidence, and makes entirely her own. Jewelry that feels individual, yet effortless enough to wear every day. Because ordinary was never the idea.”

— Saili Agrawal, Founder, ANASSAI

The brand’s launch collections span different moods and occasions, allowing customers to build a jewelry wardrobe that feels personal, versatile and distinctly their own.

With its refined visual identity, elevated packaging and fashion-forward approach, ANASSAI aims to create an experience that extends beyond the jewelry itself. The brand represents a new expression of accessible luxury — thoughtful in design, elevated in presentation and created to become part of the wearer’s everyday story.

With its official launch, ANASSAI invites women to discover jewelry that doesn’t wait for an occasion.

Because the everyday deserves something extraordinary.

Strategic master agreement establishes a framework for high-power DC fast-charging infrastructure across Safexpress logistics hubs

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], October 12: In a significant step towards the electrification of India’s commercial transportation ecosystem, BSE-listed Mega Nirman & Industries Ltd. (BSE: 539767), through its MegaCharge EV charging division, has entered into a landmark 10-year Electric Vehicle Charging Services Agreement with Safexpress Private Limited, one of India’s leading logistics and supply chain service providers.

The agreement establishes a long-term framework for deploying, operating and maintaining high-power DC fast-charging infrastructure across designated Safexpress logistics hubs and transit facilities. The collaboration brings together MegaCharge’s EV charging infrastructure capabilities and Safexpress’s extensive logistics network, creating a platform to support the progressive adoption of electric commercial vehicles in India’s freight and supply chain sector.

With logistics operators increasingly focused on operational efficiency, energy transition and environmental sustainability, the partnership represents a forward-looking step towards integrating reliable charging infrastructure into the country’s commercial freight ecosystem.

A Landmark 10-Year Framework for Green Logistics

Under the multi-year master agreement, MegaCharge will deploy and operate EV charging infrastructure at designated locations, subject to the applicable site-specific technical, operational and commercial arrangements.

The framework provides for a dedicated 10-year operational term for each facility deployed under the master agreement, together with contractual minimum utilisation volumes, service-level commitments and a digital Charging Management System (CMS). The commercial framework is designed to support long-term operational continuity, structured infrastructure deployment and improved visibility over charging utilisation and service performance.

For Mega Nirman & Industries, the partnership represents an opportunity to expand its EV charging business through institutional infrastructure deployment. For Safexpress, it provides a structured pathway towards incorporating high-power charging facilities into its logistics operations as commercial vehicle electrification progresses.

Agra to Anchor the Initial Deployment with a 180 kW DC Fast-Charging Station

The initial rollout under the framework includes a flagship 180 kW DC fast-charging station at Agra, Uttar Pradesh.

Designed to support the charging requirements of medium- and heavy-duty electric commercial vehicles, the proposed installation represents an important step towards establishing high-power charging infrastructure along India’s freight and logistics corridors.

The Agra facility will form part of the broader deployment framework, with commissioning schedules and final technical specifications governed by the relevant site-specific documentation.

Building a Platform for Future Deployments

As the network develops, the master agreement provides a foundation for extending charging infrastructure to additional designated locations in accordance with the parties’ deployment plans and individual site arrangements.

Safexpress: A Major Force in India’s Logistics Ecosystem

Safexpress has established itself as a prominent participant in India’s organised logistics and supply chain industry, serving businesses through its nationwide logistics infrastructure and distribution network.

Its role in connecting manufacturing centres, distribution facilities and commercial markets places it within an important segment of India’s freight transportation ecosystem. As businesses increasingly evaluate lower-emission transportation solutions, integrating EV charging capabilities into logistics infrastructure can become an important component of the industry’s long-term transition.

The MegaCharge partnership aligns with this broader direction by establishing a framework for dedicated charging infrastructure within Safexpress’s designated logistics network.

Strategic Significance for Mega Nirman & Industries

For Mega Nirman & Industries Ltd., the agreement represents a strategic development in the expansion of its EV charging infrastructure business. The 10-year framework provides a long-duration contractual platform for infrastructure deployment, while the associated utilisation and service-level provisions establish a defined operating structure for participating sites.

The partnership also strengthens MegaCharge’s positioning in the institutional and commercial charging segment, where charging infrastructure must meet the operational requirements of fleet operators and logistics businesses.

As the adoption of electric commercial vehicles develops in India, reliable high-power charging infrastructure is expected to play an increasingly important role in enabling fleet electrification, route planning and charging availability.

Advancing the Future of Sustainable Freight

The transition towards electric freight transportation requires more than the availability of electric vehicles. It also depends on dependable charging infrastructure, suitable locations, efficient charging operations and commercially viable deployment models.

By combining MegaCharge’s charging infrastructure platform with Safexpress’s logistics footprint, the agreement establishes a framework to address these requirements through a structured, long-term partnership. The Agra installation marks the beginning of this initiative, with the wider master agreement providing a basis for future deployments at designated locations.

The partnership reflects a shared direction towards modernising freight infrastructure and supporting the next phase of India’s commercial mobility transition.

New Delhi [India], October 12: It is essential to attend to numerous issues regularly for the proper functioning of a home environment. From routine and deep cleaning to pest management, air conditioner maintenance, upholstery cleaning, and many other activities, homeowners may find themselves handling multiple service providers to address each issue. HomeDoot is providing a convenient way out to address all these needs using one service provider.

HomeDoot provides various services to address cleaning and maintenance issues faced by households daily. The service list includes services related to cleaning, home cleaning, pest management, AC services & repairs, deep cleaning, carpet cleaning, and sofa cleaning.

Complete Home Cleaning Services

Cleaning homes is an essential part of keeping a comfortable home environment. HomeDoot provides home cleaning services specifically designed for those who want professional help to take care of their routine cleaning tasks without having to manage everything on their own.

HomeDoot Deep cleaning services are available to those houses which require more than just regular home cleaning services.

Specialized Cleaning for Carpets and Sofas

Carpets and sofas are some of the items that are frequently used within a house, and they may collect dust, dirt, and other residues. Therefore, cleaning them involves using the right technique and equipment to take care of the materials they are made from.

Carpet cleaning services from HomeDoot are aimed at helping their clients take care of their carpets as part of the general maintenance of the house. Sofa cleaning services also serve this purpose. These services may prove helpful in situations where homeowners would like to have their often-used furniture cleaned.

Pest Control for Home Maintenance

Pest infestations may become one of the problems associated with home maintenance. Proper handling of these challenges may help in making the house more comfortable to live in.

HomeDoot has pest control services, which help the company’s clients in handling pests as part of the general household requirements.

AC Service and Repair

Air conditioning is an important component of ensuring the comfort of indoor temperatures especially in places where the temperatures stay high for most of the time. Maintenance services will help homeowners ensure that their AC units are well-maintained and resolve any issues related to their functioning.

HomeDoot offers AC services and repairs as part of its range of home maintenance services. The service allows the customers to get professional help in case they need to fix their air conditioners.

A Convenient Approach to Home Services

A major advantage that comes out of having multiple household services is convenience. The homeowner has various maintenance needs and has to juggle with their busy work schedule along with other responsibilities. With a service provider that offers all sorts of maintenance, it becomes easy to find and arrange the help needed.

With the inclusion of cleaning, deep cleaning, carpet & sofa cleaning, pest control and AC services, HomeDoot emerges as an option among the service providers who can address various household needs through a single source.

Supporting Modern Household Needs

Professional home services have become in-demand due to the evolution of lifestyle changes where there is increased pressure on work schedules and thus many families need professional help for performing household activities that take up time and skills.

HomeDoot’s list of services includes activities related to cleaning but also the other important home-maintenance services. For example, clients can opt for services ranging from preparation of a home for a cleaning to carpet cleaning and sofa cleaning.

The fact that HomeDoot offers services such as AC service and pest control gives an idea that HomeDoot is moving away from being a platform dedicated only to cleaning services.

With the evolving trend of hiring professional home services becoming increasingly practical, HomeDoot has emerged as an example of platforms bringing all categories of home services under one roof. The various categories include cleaning, pest control, AC and home-care services.

Vygr PR Network Launches Eight Festive Season PR Packages

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 12: Vygr Media has launched the Vygr Festive Special Packages, a set of eight festive season PR packages for founders, consumer brands, financial services firms and growth-stage companies. The packages are built for brands that want earned media coverage and stronger brand visibility while festive attention is at its peak.

The launch arrives in a season of record spending. Festive advertising in India is forecast to reach ₹60,000 crore to ₹62,000 crore in 2026, up 13 per cent to 17 per cent, according to sources. Budgets are growing, but not evenly, and festive marketing plans are being stretched across more channels than ever.

What the festive numbers show

Digital media is taking 67.8 per cent of festive ad spending. Ecommerce advertising alone is expected to rise 27 per cent to ₹30,091 crore, and brands are projected to raise quick commerce ad spending by 25 per cent to 35 per cent. Online festive sales could reach ₹1.50 lakh crore to ₹1.55 lakh crore, roughly 25 per cent to 29 per cent above last year.

Demand is not the problem. About 84 per cent of Indians plan to increase their budgets this festive season, and the season now stretches across roughly five months. The challenge is attention. Shoppers move between marketplaces, creators, social feeds and physical stores, and consideration starts weeks before the peak. Sources also show that shopping’s biggest week lands ahead of Diwali, while finance’s biggest week follows it. Lenders, wealth managers and insurers therefore work to a different calendar from retailers.

Why media coverage matters more than another ad

When every brand buys the same inventory, paid reach gets crowded and expensive. Earned media works differently. A story in a recognised publication gives a brand third-party credibility that a banner cannot borrow.

That matters more as shopping research shifts to AI tools. Data shows 38 per cent of Indian consumers plan to use AI tools to research products and gift ideas this season, up from 32 per cent in 2025. Reports state that four in five festive shoppers want AI shopping assistants to guide their purchases. These tools tend to draw on published, third-party sources, so credible coverage becomes part of what a shopper finds before buying. Industry commentary also points to consumers responding less to “more for less” offers and more to brands that make them feel something. That favours a well-told story over another discount.

What the packages include

Vygr offers eight festive packages, from ₹29,999 to ₹1,99,999 plus GST, and each one is built for a different stage and goal. The Top Trial Package (₹29,999) is the starting point for first announcements and early-stage founder visibility, while the Bharosa Package (₹49,999) helps startups build business credentials through coverage in business media. The Dhoom Package (₹74,999) suits national product launches, expansion news, and leadership announcements. The PR Boost Package (₹99,999) gives established brands the business news credibility that paid ads cannot supply.

The Serious Business Package (₹1,24,999) is designed for festive launches and consumer brand stories. For brands looking for PR packages with a TV interview in India, the TV Interview Package (₹1,49,999) is made for spokespeople who are ready for the camera and includes a TV Channel interview. The Funding Announcement Package (₹1,74,999) covers Series A and B fundraising, M&A and investor communication, with major startup publications as investor touchpoints. At the top of the range, the Big Boom PR Bonanza Package (₹1,99,999) is the enterprise tier, meant for companies that want to own a major market narrative.

Across the range, coverage spans major media outlets across Category A and niche media. Every package also carries wire and aggregator distribution, and every package reaches more than 50 news media handles. Select packages include publisher social tags, and the TV Interview Package adds a business TV interview on a known media channel.

Entry packages start at ₹29,999 plus GST, which positions them as affordable PR packages for startups that want to try their hand at PR without a long retainer. At the top end, the Funding Announcement Package puts top startup and investor publications in front of the audience that matters for a funding round or an M&A announcement.

Articles are drafted by journalists within the Vygr network rather than general content writers. Every campaign begins with company verification covering legitimacy, claims, and spokesperson. Any package can also be customised by industry, announcement, geography or audience, and larger requirements can move to a bespoke communication mandate with scope-led pricing.

According to Sonam Bhagat, Founder-CEO of Vygr Media, festive visibility works best when brands treat coverage as proof rather than promotion: a verified company, a clear story and a credible publication, delivered while consumers are still deciding.

New Delhi [India], October 12: The personal care industry has changed a lot in recent years. Today, customers are not only looking for products that look attractive on a shelf. They also care about convenience, trust, accessibility, brand values, customer service, and whether a company understands their everyday needs.

This has created opportunities for growing brands to build their identity in a different way.

One such name is Rudrayati Enterprise, a personal care and wellness brand that is developing its presence across skincare, intimate wellness, retail, and business buying. The company describes itself as a supplier focused on quality products, reliability, customer satisfaction, and long-term partnerships.

Rather than limiting itself to one narrow category, Rudrayati Enterprise is building a broader personal-care ecosystem.

Here are eight things the brand is doing differently in the personal care industry.

1. It Looks at Personal Care Beyond Traditional Beauty

For a long time, personal care brands were mostly associated with skincare, haircare, makeup, or grooming.

That definition is becoming much wider.

Rudrayati Enterprise reflects this shift by bringing skincare and intimate wellness under the same overall brand platform. Its website currently organizes offerings across categories including sunscreen, serum, face wash, and personal lubricants.

This approach is important because modern self-care is no longer limited to how someone looks.

Comfort, confidence, hygiene, skin health, and personal wellness are increasingly part of the same conversation.

By entering more than one personal-care category, Rudrayati Enterprise is building a brand that can speak to a wider range of everyday needs instead of being defined by a single product.

2. The Brand Is Trying to Keep Personal Care Simple

The beauty and wellness market can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Customers are constantly introduced to new ingredients, complicated routines, trending formulas, and long lists of steps they are told they “need”.

Rudrayati Enterprise takes a more straightforward approach.

Its website is organized around familiar concerns and clear categories. Instead of forcing shoppers to understand complicated technical language before finding what they need, customers can directly explore areas such as face wash, serum, sunscreen, or intimate wellness.

That simplicity matters.

For many consumers, good personal care is not about having the biggest routine. It is about finding products that make sense for their lifestyle.

Brands that make shopping easier can often create a more comfortable first experience for customers who are still learning about skincare and wellness.

3. It Serves Consumers and Businesses at the Same Time

One interesting part of Rudrayati Enterprise’s model is that it is not built only for individual customers.

The website clearly separates options for *“For Me”* and *“For Business,”* showing that the company is thinking about both retail buyers and business customers.

Wholesale information is also available on product pages, including minimum order quantities, bulk purchasing details, GST billing information, and shipping information for business orders.

This gives the brand a different type of growth opportunity.

Individual consumers can discover products for themselves, while retailers, resellers, and other businesses can potentially explore bulk purchasing.

It is a practical model because it allows Rudrayati Enterprise to build relationships on both sides of the personal care market.

4. It Is Giving Intimate Wellness a Place in Mainstream Personal Care

Intimate wellness is still a topic many people hesitate to discuss openly.

However, customer awareness around personal comfort and sexual wellness is gradually changing.

Rudrayati Enterprise includes intimate wellness products alongside its regular skincare categories instead of treating the subject as something completely separate. Its S-Extended range currently includes several water-based lubricant variants.

The wider significance is not only about the products themselves.

It is about normalizing intimate wellness as part of personal care.

Consumers increasingly want the freedom to explore products related to comfort and intimacy in a private, respectful, and straightforward way.

Brands that communicate in this area without unnecessary embarrassment or sensationalism can help make the category easier to understand and access.

5. The Brand Is Building Around Everyday Needs

Not every personal care company needs to reinvent the idea of skincare.

Sometimes the smarter approach is to understand what people actually use regularly.

Rudrayati Enterprise focuses on categories that can naturally fit into everyday routines. Its current portfolio covers basic skincare steps such as cleansing, serum application, and sun protection alongside personal wellness products.

This gives the brand a practical positioning.

Instead of focusing only on occasional-use products, it has the opportunity to become part of repeat routines.

That matters because the strongest relationships in personal care are often built through consistency.

When customers find something that works comfortably within their routine, they are more likely to remember the brand, return to it, and explore additional categories.

6. Customer Experience Is Being Treated as Part of the Brand

A good product can bring someone to a website.

A good experience can encourage them to return.

Rudrayati Enterprise highlights customer-focused services, including customer support, secure payment processing, referral benefits, and shipping information on its website.

These may appear to be simple e-commerce features, but together they influence how customers feel about a brand.

Modern consumers expect more than a checkout page.

They want clear information, payment security, support when they need help, and a buying journey that feels straightforward.

For growing personal-care brands, these details can be especially important because trust often develops through the complete experience not only through advertising.

7. It Is Built With Long-Term Relationships in Mind

One of the clearest statements on the Rudrayati Enterprise website is its focus on *reliability, customer satisfaction, and long-term partnerships*.

That positioning gives the brand a broader identity than simply being an online seller.

Long-term thinking is important in personal care because customer loyalty can be extremely valuable.

Consumers frequently repurchase skincare and wellness products when they become part of a routine. Business buyers also tend to value suppliers who can provide consistency and dependable communication.

By focusing on relationships with both individual customers and business partners, Rudrayati Enterprise has the opportunity to grow through repeat engagement instead of depending entirely on one-time purchases.

8. It Is Creating Room to Grow Across the Personal Care Ecosystem

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Rudrayati Enterprise is that the brand is still broad enough to evolve.

Its current presence already connects skincare, personal wellness, consumer shopping, and wholesale purchasing.

That creates room for future expansion without completely changing the brand’s identity.

The personal care industry is moving toward a more connected understanding of wellness. Consumers are increasingly looking at skincare, hygiene, comfort, appearance, and personal confidence as parts of the same lifestyle.

A brand that builds across these areas can potentially grow with its audience.

Rudrayati Enterprise’s challenge and opportunity will be to keep that growth simple, consistent, and customer-focused.

The Bigger Picture

There is no shortage of personal care brands today.

That means simply launching products is not enough to create a lasting identity.

Consumers increasingly notice how a brand communicates, how easy it is to shop, whether it understands modern needs, and whether it feels trustworthy over time.

Rudrayati Enterprise is approaching the market by combining multiple personal-care categories, serving both individuals and businesses, creating space for intimate wellness, and emphasizing customer satisfaction and long-term relationships.

The brand is still building its journey, but its wider approach reflects an important change happening across the industry: personal care is becoming less about one definition of beauty and more about everyday wellbeing, comfort, confidence, and convenience.

For Rudrayati Enterprise, that broader view could become an important part of its identity as it continues to develop in India’s evolving personal care and wellness market.

The new subscription-free smart band combines advanced health sensors, personalised AI insights, and recovery-focused metrics to help users better understand their everyday wellness.

New Delhi [India], October 12: With consumers increasingly turning to wearable technology to monitor holistic well-being, Pebble today announced the launch of Qore Ultra, its flagship wellness band. The flagship device translates complex physiological data into actionable AI-powered insights through a unified three-score system evaluating Sleep, Activity, and Readiness without any recurring subscription fees.

Designed for continuous, distraction-free wear, the 3 ATM water-resistant Qore Ultra integrates a 4-PD precision sensor array and 6-axis motion sensors. This hardware architecture enables 24×7 tracking of vital metrics, including heart rate, HRV , respiration, and stress, while delivering up to 15 days of continuous battery life. To simplify everyday fitness, the band also features automatic workout detection for activities like walking and running, over 100 sports modes, and in-app GPS sports tracking.

“The Pebble Qore series has become one of India’s top fitness bands, and the Qore Ultra represents the flagship evolution of that journey,” said Komal Agarwal, Co-founder of Pebble. “We have put a significant amount of R&D into giving users actionable data that can help them improve their daily rest, activity, and habits. By providing these comprehensive insights alongside community features on our new app, we are shifting the focus from isolated tracking to shared wellness management.”

The Pebble Qore mobile application acts as the central hub for this health intelligence, seamlessly translating complex data into intuitive metrics. Users can gauge their daily preparedness through a 0-100 Readiness Score, factoring in HRV, sleep quality, and stress, while monitoring their real-time stamina via the Body Energy Score. For long-term health tracking, the platform calculates Body Age every three days and uses GPS-tracked runs to estimate  Max and Fitness Age. These data points are ultimately synthesized into an AI-powered Weekly Recap, which highlights key behavioral trends so users can easily adjust their routines.

To help build personal wellness communities, the Family Ranking and Group Sharing feature lets users stay directly connected to their family’s well-being. Members can engage in friendly fitness challenges to compare daily metrics, all while maintaining granular control over their data privacy.

Pebble Qore Ultra will be available from 7 October 2026 in three color options: Desert Gold, Deep Black, and Deep Blue. Priced at an introductory ₹5,999 (MRP 8,999), the wearable will be available through Pebble’s official website, Flipkart, Amazon, and leading retail stores across India.

Pebble brings the flagship Qore Ultra to market after its predecessor became the #1 bestseller for smart bands on Amazon India, and as global interest in non-intrusive health tech continues to grow. The company positions the Qore Ultra as a technically robust choice for fitness enthusiasts seeking a powerful, distraction-free tracker without compromising on premium health capabilities.

The hospitality executive outlines a 10-point agenda linking destination development with private capital, longer stays and local employment

Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], October 12: Odisha’s next phase of tourism development should focus on preparing viable hospitality projects, improving connectivity and building itineraries that encourage visitors to stay longer, according to Dr. Souvagya Mohapatra, Chairman, FICCI Eastern Region Tourism Committee, and Managing Director—India, Nepal, Bhutan & Sri Lanka, Atmosphere Core.

Outlining a 10-point roadmap, Dr. Mohapatra called for a coordinated approach to investment and destination planning. The emphasis is on translating the state’s heritage, coastline, forests and spiritual traditions into experiences supported by reliable infrastructure and quality accommodation.

“Odisha does not have a tourism-product problem. Odisha has a destination-development, connectivity, investment, and commercialization opportunity,” Dr. Mohapatra said.

At the centre of the proposal is a practical investment agenda: clear land titles, defined development conditions, essential utilities and coordinated approvals. These measures would help hospitality investors assess project viability and move from initial interest to execution.

Dr. Mohapatra’s roadmap identifies ten priorities:

1. Develop destinations as complete visitor ecosystems.

Build eight to ten professionally managed tourism zones where accommodation, transport, sanitation, signage and public amenities are planned together.

2. Give travellers reasons to stay longer.

Extend the Bhubaneswar–Puri–Konark itinerary into five to seven night journeys incorporating coastal stays, wildlife, regional cuisine and wellness.

3. Bring investment-ready sites to market.

Resolve land and infrastructure requirements and clarify approval processes so investors can evaluate development costs, timelines and operating potential.

4. Turn tourism circuits into bookable journeys.

Develop five connected offerings covering spiritual, Buddhist, tribal and wellness, wildlife and nature, and coastal and marine tourism, supported by transport, guides and accommodation.

5. Broaden the geography of hospitality investment.

Encourage suitable accommodation around Koraput, Chilika, Gopalpur, Satkosia and Similipal, with development guided by ecological sensitivity, carrying capacity and applicable approvals.

6. Develop a distinctive spiritual and wellness proposition.

Connect pilgrimage with Ayurveda, yoga and restorative stays while preserving the religious character of destinations and respecting local practices.

7. Place local enterprise within the tourism value chain.

Create earning opportunities for artisans, performers, guides and small businesses through Odia cuisine, Pattachitra, Gotipua and community-led experiences.

8. Address the last mile of the visitor journey.

Improve airport and highway connections, approach roads, local transport and public conveniences to make travel between destinations more dependable.

9. Measure investment facilitation through delivery.

Establish a specialist cell to resolve project bottlenecks, tracking completed developments, operational hotel rooms, employment and tourist nights alongside investment commitments.

10. Set a clear competitive ambition for 2047.

Work towards positioning Odisha among India’s top five tourism destinations, with a recognised identity in spiritual, wellness, nature, heritage and experiential luxury travel.

The roadmap’s central argument is that tourism growth depends on the readiness of the entire destination. Hotels require dependable access and supporting services, while longer stays depend on a range of experiences that visitors can readily discover and book.

Dr. Mohapatra emphasised that implementation would require sustained coordination between government, investors, hospitality operators and local communities. Progress, in this assessment, should be judged by projects becoming operational, visitors spending more time in the state and tourism generating stronger local livelihoods.

For Odisha, the proposed direction is to build investor confidence through greater project certainty and ensure that hospitality development produces lasting commercial and community value.

New Delhi [India], October 12: A mall was once primarily a place to shop. Today, the experience goes beyond the stores within it, with people looking for places to dine, unwind, be entertained, work, stay and spend time with family and friends. It is this shift in the way people experience commercial spaces that makes SMARR Realty’s journey particularly noteworthy.

With 40 years of legacy, SMARR Realty has moved beyond creating individual retail and commercial developments to shaping destinations that bring together different aspects of urban life. Its portfolio spans more than 3.5 million sq. ft. of developed commercial, retail, hotel and office space, with its nine malls recording over 90% occupancy. Its hospitality portfolio, including Crowne Plaza, Rohini and Holiday Inn, Sector 90, Gurugram, further adds to this mix, alongside an ecosystem of more than 350 national and international brands.

But beyond the numbers, SMARR Realty’s story is about how spaces built for commerce can evolve into destinations people choose to experience, revisit and remember.

The Foundation: SMARR Realty Building Retail Destinations in Delhi NCR

This thinking began taking shape in SMARR Realty’s early developments across Delhi NCR, particularly in Rohini. The focus was simple: create commercial spaces that were accessible, practical, and relevant to the needs of the people around them.

Crown Heights, spread across nearly 2.75 lakh sq. ft. from the ground to the eighth floor, brought together offices, a car showroom, a gym and a mix of national and international brands. The direct access of this development from Crowne Plaza, Rohini and its nearness to Rithala Metro Station have further enhanced the development with a blend of retail, commercial and hospitality aspects.

Furthermore, the same focus on accessibility and convenience was seen at Vikas Surya Shopping Mall at Deepali Chowk, where there was 2 lakh square feet of organized retail space over four floors, along with other modern facilities like proper parking.

At Ring Road Mall in Mangalam Place, the scale grew further with around 2.5 lakh sq. ft. of centralised air-conditioned retail space positioned along the Outer Ring Road.

Combined, they show an early recognition that the significance of a business location does not simply depend on its offerings, but also on its accessibility, usability and incorporation into people’s daily routines.

From Shopping Centre to Experience-led Destination

As the portfolio expanded, so did the understanding of what could make a commercial destination relevant beyond shopping. City Centre, Rohini, brought greater scale to this approach, combining a prominent West Delhi location with nearly 4 lakh sq. ft. of organised retail and a diverse mix of national and international brands.

With Sapphire Ninety in Gurugram, the proposition moved further towards experience, bringing together retail, curated dining, fitness, gaming and cinema. Collectively, these trends point to a change in perspective: the destination is not just about the quantity of retail facilities, but more so about providing a range of experiences. The more reasons people have to visit, the more naturally a commercial space can become part of their everyday lives.

SMARR Vista Square: Bringing an Entire Ecosystem Under One Roof

This approach finds a clear expression at SMARR Vista Square in Sector 82A, Gurugram, the first centralised air-conditioned mall in New Gurgaon. Spread across approximately 4 lakh sq. ft. of GLA, it brings together everyday and lifestyle needs under one roof. With Eatree food court, BLAAZE entertainment zone and a three-screen Devgn Cinex, the proposition extends well beyond retail, where shopping can be one part of a larger experience, rather than the sole reason to visit.

Hospitality as an Extension of the Destination Philosophy

Hospitality adds another dimension to SMARR Realty’s destination-led approach. At Crowne Plaza, Rohini, the five-star property brings together 183 rooms, expansive banquet spaces, dining and social venues within nearly 3 lakh sq. ft. In Gurugram, Holiday Inn, Sector 90 extends that proposition further, with 259 rooms and suites positioned alongside retail, a four-screen multiplex and entertainment zone. In both cases, hospitality is part of a larger environment where people can stay, meet, dine, celebrate and experience more within the same destination.

Location as a Business Advantage

Throughout this journey, location and brand mix have played an equally important role. From Rithala Metro and Mangalam Place to the Outer Ring Road and key Gurugram sectors, the project offers accessibility, visibility and connectivity to established catchments. This strategic foundation is complemented by a diverse mix of more than 350 national and international brands, giving each destination its own commercial character while creating an environment where retailers and consumers can both find value.

Today, SMARR Realty’s journey across Delhi NCR reflects a broader understanding of what commercial real estate can become when it is planned around how people actually live, work, and spend their time. Across more than 3.5 million sq. ft. of developed space, the focus has extended beyond creating larger spaces or adding more offerings. It is about bringing together retail, hospitality, dining, entertainment, and everyday convenience in places people can access, experience, and return to. Hence, “Maximum Lifestyle Under One Roof” is not just a philosophy, but the idea that brings SMARR’s journey from malls to destinations together.

New Delhi [India], October 12: Kyptec LifeStyle®, an Indian consumer audio brand operating under BalaJi MicroTechnologies Pvt. Ltd., part of the B.B. Group of Companies, continues to strengthen its presence in India’s personal audio market through Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Earbuds. Designed for consumers who value immersive sound, effective noise reduction, clear voice communication and dependable battery performance, these true wireless earbuds combine Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, powerful 10mm audio drivers, six built in microphones, low latency functionality and up to 40 hours of advertised total battery life in a compact, lightweight design.

As wireless audio becomes an essential part of professional communication, music, online education, digital entertainment and everyday travel, consumers increasingly expect earphones that can support different activities without compromising convenience. Buyers exploring wireless earbuds often consider sound quality, noise cancellation, microphone performance, wearing comfort and battery endurance before making a purchase. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Wireless Earbuds bring these features together in a portable design suited to working professionals, students, commuters, travellers and everyday music enthusiasts.

With listeners paying greater attention to both audio performance and practical functionality, Kyptec LifeStyle® continues to focus on delivering modern sound technology alongside contemporary product design. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Bluetooth Earphones reflect this approach by combining Hybrid ANC, premium deep bass, clear calling capabilities and extended battery performance in an accessible personal audio product.

Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation for Focused and Comfortable Listening

Background noise can affect the enjoyment of music, podcasts, films and conversations, particularly when listening in busy offices, public transportation, shared households and other active environments. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Earbuds incorporate Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation technology designed to reduce selected external sounds and support a more focused personal listening experience.

For consumers considering noise cancelling earbuds, the ability to manage surrounding distractions while maintaining sound quality is an important purchase consideration. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Wireless Earbuds combine Hybrid ANC technology with a lightweight in ear design, offering a practical alternative to larger over ear headphones for individuals who prefer compact wireless audio during work, commuting and travel.

Hybrid ANC uses feedforward and feedback microphone arrangements to detect surrounding noise and generate an opposing audio signal that helps reduce certain unwanted frequencies. Unlike passive noise isolation, which primarily depends on the physical fit and seal of the earphones, active noise cancellation electronically manages selected background sounds. Actual effectiveness depends on environmental conditions, noise characteristics and how securely the earbuds fit.

Whether listening to music during a daily commute, following an audiobook at home or concentrating on spoken content while travelling, Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Bluetooth Earphones are designed to provide greater control over the listening experience. The technology adds practical convenience for consumers who want portable audio devices that help limit suitable background distractions without requiring larger headphones.

Powerful 10mm Audio Drivers for Deep Bass and Immersive Entertainment

Sound reproduction remains one of the most important factors influencing the purchase of personal audio products. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Earbuds incorporate 10mm audio drivers designed to deliver premium deep bass, clear vocals and engaging sound across different types of music and digital entertainment.

The driver configuration supports listeners who enjoy energetic music, strong rhythmic elements and impactful low frequency reproduction. From Bollywood music and contemporary pop to electronic tracks, podcasts and streaming entertainment, Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Wireless Earbuds are positioned to provide an enjoyable listening experience while maintaining the convenience of compact wireless construction.

Consumers comparing Bluetooth earbuds often consider the balance between bass performance, vocal clarity, wearing comfort and overall sound reproduction. While driver size alone does not determine audio quality, the 10mm configuration is an important element of the product’s sound design. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Bluetooth Earphones combine their audio drivers with Hybrid ANC and comfortable in ear construction to support everyday listening across different genres and applications.

For music enthusiasts seeking bass earbuds, a satisfying listening experience involves more than volume alone. The ability to enjoy rhythmic detail, recognise vocals clearly and listen comfortably during extended sessions contributes to the overall value of personal audio equipment. The earbuds bring together these considerations through their sound focused design and convenient wireless functionality.

Six Built In Microphones for Clear Calling and Everyday Communication

Voice communication has become an important part of personal audio usage, with consumers regularly participating in professional calls, online meetings, virtual classes and everyday telephone conversations. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Bluetooth Earphones incorporate a six microphone configuration intended to support voice pickup and calling clarity across different listening environments.

The multiple microphone arrangement complements the product’s Hybrid ANC functionality, allowing users to move between music, incoming calls and online communication without changing audio devices. This versatility is particularly relevant for professionals working remotely, students attending online classes and individuals who frequently handle telephone conversations while travelling.

For consumers researching earbuds with mic capabilities, microphone quality is an important consideration alongside sound performance, battery endurance and comfort. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Wireless Earbuds combine their six microphone arrangement with wireless connectivity and noise management features, providing a practical balance between private listening and everyday communication.

Although actual call clarity depends on surrounding noise, microphone positioning, network quality and the communication application, the product’s microphone configuration supports its role as a convenient personal audio device for both professional and recreational activities.

Low Latency Audio for Gaming, Movies and Video Entertainment

Audio timing plays an important role when watching films, streaming videos or enjoying interactive entertainment. Noticeable delays between on screen movement and corresponding sound can affect the overall experience, particularly during fast moving content and mobile gaming.

Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Earbuds incorporate low latency functionality intended to reduce the delay between compatible video content and audio playback. This feature is relevant for consumers who regularly use smartphones, tablets and other portable devices for watching films, following online videos and enjoying casual mobile games.

For individuals comparing gaming earbuds, sound performance and audio timing are both important considerations. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Bluetooth Earphones combine low latency connectivity with 10mm audio drivers and Hybrid ANC, making them suitable for different entertainment preferences without limiting their use to gaming alone.

Actual latency varies according to the connected device, supported operating modes, application requirements and wireless conditions. The combination of compact construction, engaging sound and practical connectivity makes these earphones relevant for consumers who prefer using one audio device for several everyday activities.

Up to 40 Hours of Battery Life with Convenient Charging

Battery endurance is an important consideration for consumers who depend on wireless audio throughout the day. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Wireless Earbuds offer up to 40 hours of advertised total battery performance through their charging system, reducing the inconvenience of frequent recharging during music listening, communication and entertainment.

The product also features an approximately two hour charging time, providing convenient battery replenishment between listening sessions. Its portable charging case allows the earbuds to be stored and recharged when not in use, making them suitable for office commutes, university activities, travel and everyday movement.

Consumers seeking earbuds with long battery life often evaluate the convenience of extended playback alongside microphone performance, noise cancellation and comfort. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Earbuds combine their advertised battery capability with Hybrid ANC, powerful audio drivers and wireless connectivity to support different listening requirements throughout the day.

Actual battery endurance depends on listening volume, ANC settings, calling activity and operating conditions. The advertised duration refers to the product’s stated maximum total battery performance under suitable usage conditions rather than uninterrupted playback from a single earbud charge.

Lightweight Design, Wireless Freedom and Everyday Comfort

Portability and comfort remain important considerations for consumers who regularly use earphones during commuting, working, travelling and leisure activities. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Bluetooth Earphones feature a lightweight in ear design intended to provide comfortable listening while remaining convenient to carry throughout the day.

The compact construction offers an alternative to larger over ear headphones for individuals who prefer audio devices that can be carried easily in a pocket, handbag or travel accessory. This convenience is particularly valuable for consumers who frequently make calls, listen to music while commuting or use wireless audio during routine daily activities.

Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Wireless Earbuds support connectivity with compatible smartphones, tablets, laptops and other Bluetooth enabled devices, with an advertised transmission range of up to 10 metres under suitable conditions. Their cable free construction provides freedom of movement during compatible listening and communication activities.

As TWS earbuds become a familiar part of everyday personal technology, consumers increasingly value products that combine compact construction, comfortable wearability, practical battery endurance and effective audio functionality. Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Earbuds address these expectations through Hybrid ANC, multiple microphones, powerful bass and portable wireless convenience.

Strengthening the KyptecLifeStyle® Wireless Audio Portfolio

Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Earbuds form an important part of the brand’s established wireless audio portfolio, which includes additional true wireless earbuds and Bluetooth headphones addressing different consumer requirements. The model places particular emphasis on Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, six microphone communication, powerful 10mm drivers, low latency functionality and extended battery performance.

Under the leadership of Nitin Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CEO, and Sweta Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CMO, Kyptec LifeStyle® continues to develop its brand identity around contemporary technology, practical product functionality, consumer preferences and long term business development. Supported by BalaJi MicroTechnologies Pvt. Ltd. and the wider B.B. Group of Companies, the brand remains focused on strengthening its presence in India’s competitive personal audio market.

Through Kyptec LifeStyle® 610 Bluetooth Earphones, the company reinforces its commitment to combining modern audio technology with accessible everyday functionality. The product reflects the brand’s understanding that consumers expect wireless earphones to provide enjoyable music playback, clear communication, effective noise management and dependable battery performance within a compact and comfortable design.

Aroop Kumar, Founder, Welica

New Delhi [India], October 10: Welica, a career-preparation platform announced the launch of Welica 2.0, which helps students and early-career professionals choose a role, see how AI is changing it and follow a step-by-step plan to get in. Available in India on the App Store and Google Play, the app combines structured plans for 400+ roles across eight fields with role-specific AI and market insights, 16 life skills courses and private wellbeing support.

As AI changes how work gets done, students need to know which roles are worth preparing for and what that preparation now involves. Welica 2.0 connects those decisions with action: helping users explore careers, assess how the work is evolving and follow a daily plan covering skills, projects, professional connections and interview preparation.

The AI opportunity: growing careers, changing skills

Welica’s September review found that 68% of software and data roles assessed are growing, while 74% have at least one task previously performed by an entry-level professional that Welica now classifies as mostly done by AI. Together, these findings point to a shift in what aspiring professionals need to prepare for, even in fields where demand continues to grow.

The opportunities also extend well beyond software. 85% of roles assessed as both growing and open at entry level are in engineering, the trades and health. Meanwhile, software and data, business and strategy, and design account for nearly 80% of roles rated hardest to enter, reinforcing the value of exploring a wider range of career pathways.

For students, the practical question is how to build skills that complement increasingly capable technology. Welica’s role-level insights distinguish between tasks that AI can take on and responsibilities where human expertise remains central. In software, for example, coding agents can handle testing and debugging tasks, while security judgements and release decisions continue to require human oversight. In mechanical engineering, faster calculations support work that still depends on physical testing, prototypes and coordination with manufacturing.

Aroop Kumar, Founder of Welica, said: “Students today are doing more than ever. Extra courses, hackathons, projects on the side. What they don’t have is a way to choose. Welica shows the evidence for each role, including what AI is doing to it, and then gives you the plan. And being ready for a job is not just technical expertise. How you hold up in a bad week, whether you ask for help, how you talk to someone already doing the job: these matter as much as any skill, and almost nobody prepares students for them. We don’t predict the future and we don’t promise anyone a job. We get you ready for one.”

From career ambition to a plan of action

Welica 2.0 begins with a short Career Fit Survey, which ranks roles against a user’s interests, work style and study area. Once a role is selected, the app builds a preparation plan delivered through short daily steps. Chapters last one to three weeks, each ending with something concrete to show: a portfolio piece, a professional conversation or completed interview preparation.

The platform covers software, data and AI; engineering; design and creative arts; business and strategy; people and service; trades and technical work; public service; and health and science. This breadth helps users look beyond familiar job titles and consider paths aligned with their interests and the changing nature of work.

For professionals already working, a separate pathway identifies the skills and workplace actions needed to prepare for the next level in their role.

Career intelligence, reviewed every month

Every role carries an “AI & market” view, reviewed monthly, explaining which tasks are moving towards automation, where human judgement remains important, how hiring is changing and which adjacent roles users could explore. These insights help users understand how their preparation may need to evolve as tools and workplace expectations change.

Welica’s analysis draws on US and UK government occupation data, entry-level hiring indicators and task-level assessments of AI capabilities. The findings represent its assessment of the roles covered by the app, rather than a survey of Indian employers or a forecast of hiring in India.

Building the human skills that move careers forward

Welica integrates 16 life skills courses into its career plans, covering communication, problem solving, presentation, public speaking, personal finance, job search and interviews. Lessons combine concepts, checks, reflection and refreshers, helping users practise the capabilities they will need to collaborate, communicate and take responsibility at work.

Tulika Verma, Leadership coach and former City Director at Teach For India, who helped design Welica’s life skills curriculum, said: “Colleges teach the subject and leave the rest to chance. What decides whether a first job goes well, speaking up in a room, taking feedback, managing your own energy, is learnable, and almost nobody teaches it at the age it matters. Welica puts those skills in the same plan as the technical ones. That is where they belong.”

Private wellbeing check-ins help users reflect on their direction, energy, attention and connection, supported by two- to three-minute reset tools. The default daily plan takes approximately 30 minutes and can be adjusted to the user’s pace. Progress reflects the work completed along the chosen path, without assigning a job-readiness score or promising employment. The app has no streaks, leaderboards or advertising.

Availability and pricing

Welica 2.0 is free to download in India on the App Store and Google Play. Users receive three days of full access without providing card details, after which the first chapter of every plan remains free. Welica Premium unlocks the full plan at ₹99 per month or ₹799 per year.

Fourth Edition of the Profit Tusker Summit to bring Together Political Leaders, Global Investors and Industry Leaders to Drive Kerala’s Economic Growth.

Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], October 10: Kerala is set to host a major business and investment gathering as the Brand Keralam Conclave 2026, the fourth edition of the Profit Tusker Summit, takes place on October 15, 2026, at O by Tamara, Thiruvananthapuram. Organized by FYBB and The Profit News, the conclave will bring together business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, industry experts and key stakeholders to explore strategies for positioning Kerala as a globally competitive destination for business, investment, manufacturing and international trade.

“The Brand Keralam Conclave 2026 will be inaugurated by Kerala Chief Minister Shri V. D. Satheesan. The prestigious event will also witness the participation of several ministers from the Government of Kerala, alongside prominent business leaders, global investors, entrepreneurs and industry experts. Their participation will add significance to discussions on Kerala’s investment opportunities, industrial development, international trade and long-term economic growth.”

Built around the vision of (Onnamathakanam Keralam) — an aspiration for Kerala to become a leader in economic development and enterprise — the conclave seeks to move beyond conventional business discussions and encourage meaningful dialogue on opportunities that can accelerate the state’s economic transformation.

With the theme “Rooted in Keralam. Ready for the World,” the event aims to highlight Kerala’s potential to emerge as a significant hub for global investment, entrepreneurship, innovation, exports and maritime commerce.

From Business Recognition to Economic Transformation

The Profit Tusker platform has steadily evolved into a forum connecting businesses, entrepreneurs and industry leaders from across India. Following three editions held in Kozhikode, Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi, the fourth edition introduces a focused conversation on Kerala’s economic future under the Brand Keralam Conclave identity.

Unlike traditional business conferences, Brand Keralam Conclave 2026 aims to encourage actionable discussions on investment, infrastructure development, entrepreneurship and industry collaboration.

The event will focus on how Kerala can leverage its strategic geographical location, skilled workforce, expanding infrastructure, entrepreneurial ecosystem and international connections to strengthen its position in India’s economic growth story.

Make in Kerala: Building a Global Manufacturing and Investment Destination

One of the major discussions at the conclave, “Make in Keralam,” will explore opportunities to transform Kerala into a competitive destination for manufacturing, investment, technology and entrepreneurship.

The discussion will examine strategies for attracting domestic and international investment, strengthening micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), encouraging industrial innovation and expanding Kerala’s startup ecosystem.

Industry leaders and experts will also deliberate on improving the ease of doing business, developing investment-friendly infrastructure, creating employment opportunities and enabling Kerala-based enterprises to compete in national and international markets.

The session aims to explore how Kerala can translate its strengths in education, talent, technology and entrepreneurship into sustainable industrial growth.

Mission Samudra: Connecting Kerala’s Ports to Global Trade

Another major highlight of Brand Keralam Conclave 2026 will be “Mission Samudra,” a focused discussion on strengthening Kerala’s maritime economy through integrated port connectivity and logistics infrastructure.

The session will explore opportunities to connect Kerala’s inland ports, waterways and logistics hubs with major commercial gateways, including Vizhinjam International Seaport and Cochin Port.

With the development of Vizhinjam International Seaport opening new possibilities for international shipping and logistics, the discussion will examine how Kerala can capitalize on its maritime infrastructure to attract cargo movement, strengthen export competitiveness and create new business opportunities.

Key areas of discussion will include inland waterway transportation, cargo consolidation, warehousing, containerisation, multimodal logistics, port operations and the role of private investment in developing an efficient maritime trade ecosystem.

Mission Samudra is intended to bring together stakeholders from shipping, logistics, port operations and related industries to identify practical opportunities for improving Kerala’s connectivity with global markets.

Positioning Kerala as a Global Business Brand

Brand Keralam Conclave 2026 is founded on the belief that Kerala’s economic potential extends beyond its established strengths in tourism, healthcare, education and services.

The conclave will explore the possibilities of building a stronger global identity for Kerala as a destination for investment, manufacturing, innovation, international trade and sustainable enterprise.

By connecting policymakers, business leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and industry professionals, the platform seeks to encourage collaboration and generate fresh perspectives on Kerala’s long-term economic development.

The initiative also aims to strengthen the conversation around Brand Kerala, highlighting the state’s capacity to attract global businesses while supporting the growth of homegrown enterprises.

A Platform for Business Leaders, Investors and Entrepreneurs

The conclave is expected to provide opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange and meaningful engagement among representatives of diverse industries.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore emerging business opportunities, understand developments in Kerala’s investment landscape and engage in discussions on the infrastructure and policy priorities necessary to support future growth.

Brand Keralam Conclave 2026 will be held on Thursday, October 15, from 3 PM to 9 PM at O by Tamara, Thiruvananthapuram.

Mr Sriram Mahadevan, CEO, Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate, and Managing Director, Joyville by Shapoorji Housing

New Delhi [India], October 10: For much of the last two decades, the conversation around luxury housing in Mumbai’s western suburbs stopped somewhere around Andheri. Neighbourhoods further north, towards Borivali, were seen as practical, family-friendly and value-driven, but rarely as destinations in their own right. That perception is now being revised, and Kandivali East is one of the clearest places to see the shift taking shape.

The change has not come from a single announcement or a one-off infrastructure project. It is the cumulative result of better transport, a maturing social ecosystem and a changing geography of work, all converging on a locality that already had the fundamentals of a well-lived neighbourhood.

A commute that has been redrawn

Location in Mumbai is ultimately measured in minutes, not kilometres, and Kandivali East’s minutes have improved considerably. The Western Express Highway and Metro Line 7, which runs parallel to the highway between Andheri and Dahisar, has added a dependable rail option for daily travel, with stations such as Poisar Metro Station placing large parts of the neighbourhood within walking distance. The suburban railway network, the city’s oldest mobility spine, continues to serve the area through Kandivali station.

The next set of projects, now under construction, is expected to extend these gains. The Thane–Borivali Twin Tunnel, being built beneath Sanjay Gandhi National Park, is designed to shorten travel between Thane and the western suburbs, a journey that currently involves a long detour around the park. The northern extension of the Coastal Road, from Versova towards Dahisar and Bhayandar, is being developed for a faster commute along the city’s western shoreline. Tunnelling has also begun on the Goregaon–Mulund Link Road, which aims to improve east–west access between the suburbs. As these projects are completed in phases over the coming years, they point towards a western corridor that is better stitched into the rest of the metropolitan region.

Following the office market

Where people work shapes where they choose to live. Over the past several years, commercial office activity in Mumbai has increasingly consolidated around Bandra Kurla Complex, Andheri and Goregaon. For professionals employed in these business districts, Kandivali East offers a residential base that is connected to all three by highway and metro, without the density and price points of the office hubs themselves.

The same logic has made the locality attractive for rentals. Market data from 99acres places indicative rental yields in Kandivali East at around 3% to 3.5%, supported by demand from working professionals travelling to Andheri, BKC and South Mumbai Families form a second, steady pool of tenants, drawn by the neighbourhood’s schools and retail.

A neighbourhood that already works

What separates Kandivali East from many emerging markets is that much of its social infrastructure is already in place. Established schools such as Gundecha Education Academy, Oxford International School, Ryan International School and Chatrabhuj Narsee School are located within a few kilometres of one another. Oberoi School, multi-specialty and general hospitals, including Smruti Hospital, Life Line Medicare Hospital, Seven Star Multispeciality Hospital and Sanjeevani Hospital, lie within roughly two kilometres of the highway stretch. Retail and leisure are covered by Skycity Mall and Oberoi Mall, along with the everyday restaurants, banks and services that give a neighbourhood its rhythm.

Then there is the green edge. Sanjay Gandhi National Park, one of the largest protected green spaces within Mumbai’s city limits, sits minutes from the locality. For residents, it offers something increasingly rare in Mumbai: open horizons and a sense of nature close to home.

What the numbers indicate

The locality’s real estate performance reflects these fundamentals. According to 99acres, average residential values in Kandivali East have risen by approximately 29% over the last five years, with luxury developments commanding higher values.

Significantly, this growth has been gradual rather than speculative. The trajectory has been driven by end-user demand, improving connectivity and ongoing infrastructure development, the kind of drivers that have historically held up better across market cycles than sentiment-led spikes.

Redevelopment and the next phase

A further catalyst is now under way. Large parts of Kandivali East are characterised by older, low-rise housing stock, and ongoing cluster redevelopment is expected to modernise the locality over the next three to five years. Market observers expect this to support both capital and rental values as newer, better-planned communities replace ageing buildings.

The result is a neighbourhood in transition, but one that is building on an established base rather than starting from scratch. Large-scale residential developments with comprehensive amenities are beginning to rise amid existing low-rise neighbourhoods, bringing a new tier of housing to a locality that buyers already know and trust.

As Mumbai’s growth continues to push outward, the western suburbs that combine working infrastructure, social depth and genuine end-user demand are likely to lead the next phase. Kandivali East, long regarded as a dependable residential address, is increasingly being viewed as something more: one of Western Mumbai’s most credible luxury residential destinations.

New Delhi [India], October 10: Kyptec Automation® is strengthening its industrial imaging connectivity portfolio with the USB 3.0 Machine Vision Camera Cable developed for reliable communication between compatible industrial cameras and host computing systems used in machine vision, automated inspection and factory automation. The Kyptec Automation® Machine Vision USB 3.0 A Male to Micro USB 3.0 Male With Screw Camera Cable combines a USB Type A connection for the host system with a Micro USB 3.0 connection incorporating locking screws for the camera side. The cable is available in standard lengths of 2 Meter, 3 Meter and 5 Meter, giving OEMs, machine builders and system integrators multiple options for different camera positions, industrial computer locations and machine geometries while remaining within one defined USB 3.0 machine vision connectivity platform.

Modern machine vision systems depend on a complete imaging architecture in which the camera, lens, illumination, acquisition interface, cable, host controller, processing hardware and machine vision software must operate together. As industrial cameras capture increasingly detailed image information at higher acquisition rates, reliable communication between the camera and processing system becomes an important part of overall inspection stability. The USB 3.0 Machine Vision Camera Cable is therefore not simply a connection between two devices. It forms part of the image acquisition path through which industrial camera data must be transferred consistently to the host system for processing, measurement, identification and automated inspection.

USB 3.0 connectivity is particularly relevant for compatible industrial imaging systems where high speed camera data needs to be transferred to an industrial computer or processing platform within the designed machine architecture. Selecting a USB 3.0 camera cable should therefore begin with the actual imaging requirement rather than connector compatibility alone. Camera resolution, frame rate, pixel format, acquisition frequency, cable length, host controller architecture, connector retention, routing conditions, machine movement and production duty cycle should all be considered before the final cable configuration is approved.

The Kyptec Automation® USB 3.0 Machine Vision Camera Cable uses a USB Type A male connector on the host side and a Micro USB 3.0 male connector with locking screws on the camera side. This camera side locking arrangement is particularly relevant to industrial imaging installations where the connection may need to remain secure throughout prolonged production operation. Industrial cameras can be installed inside inspection machines, beside conveyors, within automated assembly systems, above production lines or inside purpose built imaging stations. In these applications, cable security and controlled routing can become important elements of reliable camera integration.

An industrial camera cable should also be evaluated according to its operating environment. Machine vision equipment can expose cable assemblies to repeated handling, movement, equipment vibration, constrained routing paths and continuous production operation. The Kyptec Automation® USB 3.0 Machine Vision Camera Cable uses highly flexible PVC cable construction intended for industrial imaging applications. The cable architecture is designed for applications including machine vision systems, industrial cameras, scientific imaging, automated inspection, product testing, image recognition, data acquisition and factory automation.

The relationship between camera bandwidth and cable architecture is another important consideration. A machine vision camera generates image data according to sensor resolution, frame rate, pixel format and acquisition settings. Increasing any of these parameters can increase the volume of data that must move through the complete imaging system. Engineers should therefore evaluate the USB 3.0 machine vision cable together with the camera and host architecture instead of assuming that interface designation alone guarantees the required system performance. The host controller, processing platform, acquisition software and storage architecture can all influence how successfully the complete system manages the required image stream.

This becomes even more important where several industrial cameras are integrated into one inspection machine. Multiple cameras can create a significantly different system load compared with a single camera architecture. Engineers may need to consider how camera traffic is distributed across host controller resources, how images are processed, whether acquisition occurs simultaneously and what operating margin is required for continuous production. The cable remains one component within this complete data path, which is why machine vision connectivity should be qualified under the actual camera and host configuration that will be used in the production machine.

“Industrial camera connectivity should be engineered as part of the complete machine vision system rather than treated as an ordinary computer accessory,” said Nitin Aggarwal, Co Founder and CEO of Kyptec Automation®. “When OEMs and system integrators design a USB 3.0 camera architecture, they need to consider camera data requirements, cable length, locking mechanism, routing, host controller capability and production conditions together. Our objective is to provide a structured USB 3.0 Machine Vision Camera Cable platform that supports reliable industrial camera integration across machine vision, automated inspection and factory automation systems.”

Connector retention is particularly important in industrial machinery because camera communication needs to remain stable during normal equipment operation. A locking USB 3.0 camera cable can provide additional mechanical retention at the industrial camera connection compared with a connector that relies only on insertion force. The locking screws incorporated into the Micro USB 3.0 camera side connection are intended to support secure installation with compatible industrial cameras. Correct installation should nevertheless include appropriate cable routing, strain management, connector clearance and suitable bend conditions so that mechanical forces are not unnecessarily transferred to the camera connector.

Cable length should also be selected according to system geometry rather than simply choosing the longest available option. The Kyptec Automation® USB 3.0 Machine Vision Camera Cable is available in standard 2 Meter, 3 Meter and 5 Meter lengths. Machine builders should evaluate the actual distance between camera and host system, cable tray routing, cabinet position, service accessibility and any movement within the machine before standardizing the required cable length. A correctly planned installation can reduce unnecessary cable loops, excessive tension and difficult routing while making machine commissioning and future maintenance more structured.

The selection of a USB camera cable for machine vision also depends on how the camera is physically integrated into the equipment. A camera mounted close to an industrial computer can have very different routing requirements from a camera positioned remotely inside a large inspection machine. Similarly, a fixed camera installation can create different mechanical requirements from an application where part of the cable route is exposed to repeated movement. Defining these conditions early in the machine design process allows the connectivity architecture to be treated as an engineered subsystem rather than as a component selected after the camera installation has already been completed.

For OEMs manufacturing multiple machines, standardization of the USB 3.0 Machine Vision Camera Cable can support repeatable engineering and production. Once camera type, host architecture, cable length and installation method have been qualified, manufacturers can define approved configurations for individual machine platforms. These configurations can become part of engineering drawings, bills of material, assembly documentation, commissioning procedures and replacement planning. A structured approach can also help system integrators maintain greater consistency when the same imaging architecture is deployed across multiple production lines or customer installations.

Automated visual inspection is one of the environments where reliable camera connectivity becomes particularly important. Machine vision cameras may be used to inspect product dimensions, surface condition, component presence, assembly position, labels, printed information, packaging quality or other manufacturing characteristics. Images captured by the camera must reach the processing system so that software can analyse the inspection area and provide the required output within the machine cycle. Stable connectivity therefore contributes to the continuity of the complete acquisition and processing architecture.

Industrial imaging installations also need to consider electrical and mechanical conditions surrounding the cable route. Industrial computers, motors, automation equipment, power cables, moving assemblies and control systems can all exist within the same machine environment. Engineers should plan the camera cable path carefully and maintain appropriate separation, routing discipline and mechanical protection according to the design of the equipment. Cable qualification should be performed with the actual industrial camera, host computer, acquisition settings and machine operating conditions rather than relying only on individual component specifications.

The machine vision camera cable therefore needs to be understood as part of the wider industrial imaging system. Camera connectivity influences how the imaging hardware is installed, how reliably the camera communicates with the host and how easily the machine can be manufactured, commissioned and serviced. By developing a dedicated USB 3.0 Machine Vision Camera Cable platform, Kyptec Automation® is focusing specifically on connectivity requirements associated with industrial cameras, machine vision systems and automated inspection rather than positioning the product as general purpose USB connectivity.

The USB 3.0 machine vision cable category also supports the broader requirement for clearly defined machine vision components within OEM equipment. Engineering teams increasingly standardize cameras, optics, lighting, cables, computers and other components so that each machine configuration can be reproduced consistently. A defined industrial camera cable architecture allows cable length, connection type, locking method and routing requirement to become part of this standardization process. This can be particularly valuable in machines intended for continuous production where component consistency and serviceability are important considerations throughout the operational life of the equipment.

Machine vision adoption continues to expand across electronics production, packaging, pharmaceutical inspection, automotive manufacturing, component measurement, product identification, assembly verification, surface inspection and many other factory automation environments. Although these applications can require different cameras, lenses, lighting arrangements and image processing methods, all of them depend on a reliable connection between the camera and processing system. USB 3.0 Machine Vision Camera Cable selection therefore represents an important engineering decision for applications using compatible USB industrial cameras.

Kyptec Automation® is strengthening its specialist machine vision connectivity portfolio around this system level requirement. The combination of USB 3.0 connectivity, USB Type A host interface, Micro USB 3.0 camera connection with locking screws, flexible cable construction and multiple standard length options provides OEMs and system integrators with a defined platform for compatible industrial imaging systems. The objective is to support camera connectivity across automated inspection, machine vision, scientific imaging, product testing, image recognition and factory automation applications while maintaining a clear relationship between camera requirements, cable architecture and host system design.

By expanding its focus on USB 3.0 Machine Vision Camera Cable technology, Kyptec Automation® is strengthening its position within industrial camera connectivity and machine vision system integration. The product platform addresses the practical relationship between high speed image acquisition, camera connection security, cable length planning, host architecture, machine layout and long term industrial operation. For OEMs, machine builders and system integrators developing modern automated inspection equipment, this complete system perspective provides a structured foundation for selecting and standardizing camera connectivity within machine vision applications.

Landmark ₹800 crore development reflects changing homebuyer preferences and growing investor interest in Mohali’s premium real estate market

Mohali (Punjab) [India], October 10: Mohali is witnessing a steady evolution in its residential real estate landscape, with growing demand for larger homes, premium amenities and lifestyle- oriented development . The shift is being driven by affluent homebuyers seeking greater space and privacy, alongside increasing interest from HNI and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) looking at Mohali as a long-term real estate investment destination.

With its proximity to the Tricity, the International Airport Road has emerged as a key residential destination, supported by improving connectivity and expanding commercial and social infrastructure. The area’s growing appeal is also indicated in the increasing focus of real estate developers on premium and luxury housing.

Meraqui by Gillco, Gillco Group’s luxury residential development along the International Airport Road, brings a refined approach to upscale living. Envisioned across approximately 12 acres, the project comprises 444 premium residences across six towers, featuring spacious 3+1 and 4+1 configurations that cater to the growing demand for expansive homes in well-connected locations.

Building on its legacy as a distinguished real estate brand in Punjab, Gillco Group has committed a substantial investment of approximately ₹800 crore to the development, which is projected to generate revenue of around ₹1,200 crore. With residences ranging from approximately 3,150 sq. ft. to 4,550 sq. ft., Meraqui by Gillco seeks to set itself apart in North India’s luxury housing segment through its expansive residences and thoughtfully curated living experience.

The concept of luxury housing is evolving with discerning homebuyers placing greater emphasis on the overall living experience rather than residence size alone. Additionally, privacy, architectural design, landscaped surroundings, wellness amenities, recreational facilities and a well-developed community environment are increasingly shaping homebuying decisions, alongside the long-term value and growth potential of the location.

Tejpreet Singh Gill, Managing Director, Gillco Group, said, “The definition of luxury housing is evolving rapidly. Today’s discerning homebuyer seeks more than just a residence; they value space, privacy, thoughtful design, quality and enduring value. With this vision at its core, Meraqui by Gillco has been envisioned as a residential proposition for generations, bringing together timeless Greek-inspired architecture with thoughtfully designed spaces that cater to the needs of every age group. Mohali has emerged as a prominent residential market within the Tricity, and through Meraqui, our endeavour is to create an enduring living experience that transcends generations and reflects the evolving aspirations of discerning homebuyers.”

The growing NRI investment interest in the region is another factor supporting Mohali’s premium housing segment. Buyers from Punjab and the wider diaspora are increasingly evaluating residential assets in the Tricity not only as homes but also as long-term investments, given the region’s infrastructure growth and improving connectivity.

The emergence of prestigious developments such as Meraqui by Gillco also reflects a broader shift in real estate trends in Mohali, where developers are moving towards larger-format residences and experience-led communities rather than conventional housing formats.

For Gillco Group, Meraqui is part of its continued focus on residential and commercial real estate development in the region. Established in 2001, the group has developed projects across Mohali and Punjab and has built a presence across residential commercial and industrial real estate.

As Mohali continues to evolve as a residential and commercial hub, the luxury housing segment is poised to gain further prominence. The growing preference for expansive living spaces, upscale amenities and thoughtfully planned communities is opening new avenues for established real estate groups with a legacy of development and a strong regional presence to cater to the changing aspirations of discerning homebuyers.

Meraqui by Gillco therefore, represents not just a premium residential development, but also the changing nature of luxury real estate in Mohali where space, lifestyle, location and long-term value are increasingly becoming central to the homebuying decision.

Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 9: A prospective tenant is interested in an apartment in Noida and wants to see it before making a decision. A buyer living in another city wants to look at a property in Greater Noida. A commercial property owner receives an enquiry from a business looking for office space, but the person responsible for showing the premises is occupied elsewhere.

These situations are familiar to many property owners, landlords and real-estate brokers. Interest in a property may come at any time, but arranging a physical visit is not always convenient for everyone involved.

For property owners and real-estate professionals managing multiple enquiries, coordinating property visits can become a time-consuming task. Buyers and tenants may also find it difficult to travel simply to get an initial look at a property.

To address this challenge, View On Click offers a Live Property Viewing service that allows a property to be shown to prospective viewers through a live video call. A representative can show the actual property while the viewer watches remotely, asks questions and requests to see specific areas.

The service provides another way to explore a property before deciding whether an in-person visit is necessary.

Why Is Showing a Property Becoming a Challenge for Owners and Brokers?

Managing a property enquiry involves more than sharing an address or sending a few photographs. When a prospective buyer or tenant wants to understand the property properly, they may ask for a walkthrough, details about particular rooms, a closer look at the kitchen or bathroom, or a view of the balcony and surrounding areas.

Recorded videos and photographs can help, but they cannot always answer every question that comes up during the viewing.

For instance, a buyer may want to check the view from a bedroom window, understand the arrangement of the rooms or take a closer look at a particular feature. If the available video does not cover these details, the buyer may need to request additional footage or arrange a physical visit.

The situation becomes more complicated when the owner is travelling, the broker is handling other clients or the property manager is responsible for several locations.

A tenant may be available only during certain hours. A buyer may be travelling from outside Delhi NCR. An owner may not be able to leave work to open the property for every enquiry.

These practical difficulties can make scheduling property visits challenging for all parties.

Live Property Viewing offers an additional option for situations where the property needs to be shown but a physical visit is not immediately convenient.

What Is Live Property Viewing?

Live Property Viewing is a service in which a representative shows a property to a prospective buyer, tenant or other interested viewer through a live video call.

Unlike a pre-recorded walkthrough, a live viewing allows the viewer to ask questions during the session and request to see particular areas as the representative moves through the property.

For example, someone interested in renting an apartment in Noida may want to see the living room first, followed by the bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms and balcony. During a live session, the viewer can ask the representative to show these areas in the order that is most useful to them.

A prospective tenant looking at an office space may want to see the entrance, work areas, meeting rooms or other relevant facilities. A live video call can help the viewer explore these details without being physically present at the property.

View On Click provides Live Property Viewing to help property owners and managers arrange such sessions when they cannot personally show the property.

The service is intended to make remote viewing more convenient while giving prospective viewers an opportunity to examine the actual property in real time.

How View On Click Helps Property Owners and Managers

The idea behind View On Click’s Live Property Viewing service is simple: the property owner does not always need to be physically present for an initial viewing.

Depending on the booking and the property’s arrangements, a representative can attend the property and show it to the viewer through a live video call.

This can be useful in several common situations.

1. When the Property Owner Is Busy or Travelling

Property owners often have work, family or business commitments that make it difficult to attend every viewing personally.

If an interested buyer or tenant requests a viewing at a time when the owner is unavailable, arranging another appointment may take additional coordination.

With a Live Property Viewing booking, the owner can arrange for a representative to show the property remotely, subject to access and scheduling arrangements.

This gives the interested viewer an opportunity to see the property without requiring the owner to be present throughout the session.

2. When Buyers or Tenants Live Outside Noida or Delhi NCR

People looking for a home or commercial property are not always based in the same city as the property.

A professional relocating to Noida for work may still be living in another city. An NRI may want an initial look at a property in Delhi NCR before planning a visit to India. A business owner may be comparing office spaces across different locations.

Travelling for every property enquiry may not be practical.

Live property viewing in Noida and Delhi NCR can help such viewers explore a property remotely, ask questions and decide whether they would like to arrange a physical inspection.

It is important to remember that a live video call cannot verify every aspect of a property. Buyers should still conduct appropriate checks and arrange an in-person inspection whenever required before making a final decision.

3. When Brokers Are Managing Multiple Properties

Real-estate brokers often handle several listings and enquiries at the same time. Coordinating appointments, travelling between locations and being present for every viewing can take up a significant part of their day.

For brokers working across Noida, Greater Noida and other parts of Delhi NCR, scheduling may become particularly difficult when multiple prospects want to see different properties.

A live property viewing service offers an additional way to arrange property demonstrations when the broker cannot attend personally.

It can help brokers provide viewing opportunities to interested prospects while managing their other responsibilities.

4. When Landlords Need to Show Rental Properties

Rental enquiries can arrive throughout the day, and prospective tenants may have different schedules.

A landlord may receive an enquiry from someone who cannot visit during working hours. Another prospective tenant may want to see the property before travelling to the location.

Instead of relying only on photographs or repeatedly trying to coordinate a physical visit, landlords can explore a live viewing arrangement.

For people searching for online property viewing in Delhi NCR, this provides an opportunity to see the property in real time and ask questions before planning the next step.

5. When Commercial Property Requires a Detailed Walkthrough

Commercial properties often require more than a quick look at the entrance.

A prospective tenant looking for office space may want to understand the layout, examine the available rooms or see the common areas. A business considering a commercial property may also need to discuss specific features before arranging a visit.

A live viewing allows the viewer to request particular views during the session. The representative can show the relevant areas and respond to questions about what is visible.

For commercial property owners and managers, this offers another way to present office spaces, business premises and other commercial properties to interested prospects.

Live Viewing Versus Recorded Property Videos

Both recorded videos and live property viewing can be useful, but they serve different purposes.

A recorded property video is convenient when the owner or broker wants to share the same walkthrough with several people. Viewers can watch it whenever they have time, although they cannot request a different view while the recording is playing.

A live property viewing is more interactive. The viewer can ask the representative to move the camera, revisit a particular room or show a feature that was not covered earlier in the session.

For example, someone viewing an apartment remotely may want to see the natural light in a room, the view from the balcony or the entrance to a particular bedroom. During a live call, the representative can respond to these requests where access and conditions allow.

Neither option completely replaces an in-person inspection. Recorded videos are useful for convenient sharing, while live viewing provides real-time interaction. Both can form part of a property’s overall presentation.

View On Click offers Live Property Viewing as a service for people who need this interactive approach. Interested property owners and managers can learn more through the Live Property Viewing service page.

How Does Live Property Viewing Work with View On Click?

The process begins when a property owner or manager arranges a Live Property Viewing booking with View On Click.

The property details, viewing requirements and suitable schedule can be discussed as part of the arrangement. Once the session is coordinated, a representative can show the property to the intended viewer through a live video call.

During the session, the viewer can request to see specific areas and ask questions about the visible features of the property.

The service is particularly relevant when the owner cannot attend personally or when the interested viewer is unable to visit immediately.

The exact arrangements depend on the booking, property access, availability and the requirements agreed for the session.

Property owners should ensure that the representative has the necessary permission to enter and show the property, and that any occupants have provided appropriate consent.

Who Can Benefit from Live Property Viewing Services?

View On Click’s Live Property Viewing service may be useful for several groups.

• Property owners: Owners who are busy, travelling or living away from their property can arrange a live viewing when an interested person wants to see it.
• Landlords: Landlords can provide prospective tenants with an opportunity to explore a rental property remotely before scheduling an in-person visit.
• Real-estate brokers: Brokers managing several listings can use live viewing as an additional option when coordinating enquiries and appointments.
• Property managers: Managers responsible for multiple properties can arrange viewing sessions according to their availability and access arrangements.
• Remote buyers and tenants: People living outside Noida or Delhi NCR can explore properties remotely before deciding whether to travel for a physical inspection.
• Commercial property owners: Owners and managers of office spaces and commercial premises can show relevant areas to prospective occupants during a live session.

The service is not a guarantee that a buyer or tenant will proceed with a transaction. Its purpose is to make the initial viewing process more convenient and interactive.

Making Remote Property Viewing More Convenient in Noida and Delhi NCR

Noida, Greater Noida, Gurugram and other parts of Delhi NCR have residential and commercial properties that attract enquiries from people with different schedules and locations.

For owners and brokers, the challenge is not always finding someone interested in a property. Sometimes, it is arranging a suitable time and making sure the interested person can see the property properly.

Live Property Viewing provides an additional option when coordinating an in-person visit is difficult.

By offering a representative-led live video viewing service, View On Click aims to help property owners and managers show their properties remotely while allowing interested viewers to explore specific areas and ask questions in real time.

For those searching for live property viewing in Noida, online property viewing in Delhi NCR or a live video call property viewing service, View On Click offers a service designed around this practical requirement.

How to Book a Live Property Viewing with View On Click

Property owners and managers interested in arranging a live viewing can contact View On Click to discuss the property location, viewing requirements and preferred schedule.

The team can explain the booking arrangements and help determine whether the service is suitable for the particular property and viewing requirement.

Women-led BestLine Home Studio begins its modern home interiors journey in Pune.

Pune (Maharashtra) [India], October 9: As modern Indian homeowners increasingly seek interiors that combine functionality, personal expression and lasting quality, the home interiors industry is witnessing a shift towards more organised, transparent and customer-focused solutions. Bringing a fresh perspective to this evolving landscape, BestLine Home Studio has begun its journey with its flagship experience centre at Balewadi High Street, Baner, Pune, welcoming homeowners to discover a new approach to creating beautiful and thoughtfully designed living spaces.

Led by women entrepreneurs Ms. Mansi Shirke and Ms. Sayli Shirke, Founders and Directors of BestLine Home Studio, the brand brings together 15 years of industry experience and nearly 18 months of dedicated concept development. Built on a foundation of experience, research and an understanding of changing homeowner expectations, BestLine aims to make professional home interior solutions more accessible, transparent and dependable.

A Women-Led Vision for Modern Indian Homes

At the heart of BestLine Home Studio is a vision shaped by two women entrepreneurs who recognise that a home represents much more than its physical spaces. It reflects individual lifestyles, family aspirations, everyday comfort and personal identity.

Their approach focuses on creating interiors that balance aesthetics with practical living. Rather than treating interior design as a one-size-fits-all service, BestLine seeks to understand how families use their spaces and translate those requirements into personalised solutions.

The brand’s philosophy, “The Best For Your Nest,” reflects this commitment to making every home comfortable, functional and thoughtfully designed.

Bringing Transparency Through a Factory-to-Home Approach

One of the defining aspects of BestLine Home Studio is its “Factory to Your Home” philosophy, developed to create greater clarity and consistency throughout the interior design journey.

Traditionally, homeowners may encounter challenges involving multiple vendors, unclear material specifications, varying quotations and coordination between design and installation teams. BestLine aims to address these concerns through a more organised ecosystem connecting design consultation, material selection, modern manufacturing and on-site execution.

By bringing these essential stages together, the brand seeks to offer homeowners greater visibility into their interior projects, from initial planning and product selection to manufacturing and final installation.

The approach also supports reasonable pricing without compromising on quality, allowing homeowners to make informed decisions based on their requirements, preferences and budgets.

Designed Around the Needs of Today’s Homeowners

Modern homes are evolving alongside changing lifestyles. Open living spaces, efficient storage, multifunctional furniture and personalised design elements have become increasingly important, particularly in urban apartments and contemporary independent homes.

Recognising these needs, BestLine Home Studio offers a comprehensive portfolio of interior solutions, including:

● Modular Kitchens: Thoughtfully planned kitchens combining efficient storage, contemporary finishes and everyday convenience.

● Wardrobes: Customised storage solutions designed to complement individual spaces and lifestyles.

● TV Units: Functional entertainment spaces that integrate seamlessly with living room interiors.

● Complete Home Interiors: Coordinated design solutions for living rooms, bedrooms and other residential spaces.

From compact apartments to spacious residences and bungalows, the brand aims to provide solutions that reflect each homeowner’s lifestyle rather than limiting design possibilities to a particular property category or budget segment.

An emphasis on material quality, practical detailing and experienced execution teams forms an important part of this approach.

Experience Centres That Bring Design Closer to Home

BestLine’s flagship experience centre at Balewadi High Street, Baner, represents the first step in introducing its design philosophy directly to homeowners.

The centre is designed to offer a more engaging way to explore interior possibilities, understand materials, examine finishes and discuss personalised requirements with experienced professionals.

Beyond Baner, three additional experience centres are taking shape in Kharadi, Bibwewadi and Kolhapur, extending the brand’s planned presence across key residential markets in Maharashtra.

These locations reflect BestLine’s ambition to build a connected network of experience centres where homeowners can explore solutions, receive professional guidance and make more confident interior design decisions.

Building a Homegrown Brand with a Wider Vision

While Pune marks the beginning of BestLine Home Studio’s journey, its aspirations extend beyond a single city.

The brand plans to add 10 more showrooms in 2027, subject to its expansion roadmap, as it works towards establishing a stronger presence across Maharashtra and, eventually, a wider national footprint.

This growth strategy reflects an ambition to build a homegrown interiors brand supported by professional expertise, manufacturing capabilities, consistent customer experiences and long-term relationships.

For BestLine, expansion is not simply about increasing showroom numbers. It is also about establishing a recognisable standard of transparency, thoughtful design and dependable service across its future locations.

As Indian homeowners become more informed and selective about interior design investments, brands that combine creative thinking with structured execution are likely to play an increasingly important role in the sector.

With its women-led leadership, industry experience and customer-focused approach, BestLine Home Studio begins its journey with a clear ambition: to make thoughtfully designed, quality home interiors a more confident and rewarding experience for modern Indian families.

New Delhi [India], October 9: For Prakash Kumar Singh, technology has never been about making a business simply appear digital. His approach is more practical: technology should solve problems, make everyday operations easier and help a business build stronger relationships with its customers.

As Founder and CEO of CMAX Solutions and Director at Tripti Infotech LLP, Prakash has spent years working with businesses and organisations on websites, software, digital platforms and technology-led business solutions. His professional journey has shaped a straightforward belief  technology is useful when it addresses a genuine business need.

That thinking also reflects the way CMAX Solutions approaches its work.

A Technology Career Built Around Business Problems

Prakash Kumar Singh describes himself as a Technology Entrepreneur focused on AI, digital transformation and helping businesses build, automate and grow digitally. But his approach does not begin with a particular technology.

It begins with understanding what the business is trying to achieve.

Whether a company needs a new website, a customised software platform, an e-commerce system, mobile application or better digital marketing, the objective is to find a solution that fits the business rather than forcing the business to fit a technology.

Over the years, Prakash has worked with organisations and businesses including RGNAU, Satyanarayan Softwares Ltd., Optiemus, Skyweb, Lingayas Group, Myntra, Dainik Bhaskar, Policybazaar, DMC Maldives, Kazakh DMC Ltd., Nama Medical, Pulse Angels, Mass Reports, Design Shapers and TerraTrek Resorts, among others.

For him, every project has been more than a technology assignment. Working with different organisations has meant understanding different business models, customers, working styles and expectations. That experience has contributed to his emphasis on reliability and long-term professional relationships.

From Websites to Complete Digital Solutions

The philosophy behind Prakash’s work is reflected in the range of services offered by CMAX Solutions. The company works as an end-to-end technology partner, providing solutions across website development, digital marketing, e-commerce, IT solutions and software development.

Website development remains one of its core areas. CMAX Solutions develops responsive websites designed to work across desktops and mobile devices, with attention to performance, security and scalability. The company works on business websites as well as larger e-commerce platforms and corporate portals.

For businesses that require something beyond a standard website, custom software development and business applications can provide a more suitable route. The idea is to create systems around a company’s actual workflow instead of making employees adjust their processes to generic software.

The company’s service portfolio also covers e-commerce development, mobile applications, business automation, web applications and IT solutions, giving businesses the option to bring several technology requirements under one partner.

Making Digital Marketing Part of the Business Conversation

Prakash also sees technology and marketing as closely connected.

A well-built website alone does not necessarily bring customers. CMAX Solutions therefore works across SEO, social media marketing, Google Ads and PPC, content marketing and email marketing, with campaigns planned around a company’s audience and objectives.

The company’s approach to digital marketing places emphasis on tracking performance rather than simply producing online activity. SEO, advertising, content and social media are treated as parts of a wider digital presence.

This becomes particularly important for businesses that are investing in digital transformation but want their technology spending to have a clear connection with business requirements.

Where AI Fits Into the Picture

AI is another area of growing interest for Prakash Kumar Singh. However, his philosophy is not to introduce AI simply because it is currently popular.

AI can help businesses process information faster, identify patterns, support decision-making and automate repetitive work. But the final responsibility still rests with people who understand the business, its customers and the consequences of a decision.

That human element is central to Prakash’s view of technology. AI can assist the decision; humans should own the responsibility.

It is a perspective that places technology in its proper role as a tool that supports people rather than something that replaces business judgment.

Building Relationships Beyond Project Delivery

One of the defining parts of Prakash Kumar Singh’s professional approach is his focus on relationships.

He does not see a technology project as something that ends when a website goes live or software is delivered. Businesses change, customer expectations change and technology continues to evolve. A useful technology partner therefore needs to understand those changes and remain available as the business moves forward.

That philosophy is also reflected in CMAX Solutions’ positioning as a long-term technology partner for enterprises, small and medium businesses and startups. The company says it has been working with businesses and organisations since 2003 and currently serves clients across India and international markets including North America, the UK, Europe and the UAE.

A Practical Vision for the Next Stage of Digital Business

For Prakash Kumar Singh, the future of business technology is not about collecting more digital tools. It is about choosing the right ones.

From AI and digital transformation to website development, custom software, mobile applications, e-commerce, SEO, digital marketing and business automation, the focus remains on connecting technology with real business requirements.

That is ultimately what defines Prakash’s approach to his work technology should not merely make a company look modern. It should help the company work better, serve its customers better and create a foundation for sustainable growth.

Through CMAX Solutions, that philosophy continues to take shape in practical technology solutions for businesses looking to build, improve and grow in an increasingly digital marketplace.

New Delhi [India], October 9: M-SANVI Real Estate Pvt. Ltd., a leading real estate firm based in Delhi-NCR, is strengthening its residential property offerings across different configurations, including 2BHK, 3BHK, 4BHK and 5BHK homes, as homebuyers increasingly look for properties that offer greater space, functionality and flexibility.

The preference for larger homes has been gaining traction across Delhi-NCR, with recent industry data showing strong demand for 3BHK homes in the region. At the same time, affordability continues to remain an important consideration, making configuration, location and overall value key factors in the homebuying decision.

Against this changing demand, M-SANVI is focusing on offering residential options across different sizes and configurations to cater to varied requirements, from buyers seeking a practical 2BHK home to families looking for additional space through 3BHK, 4BHK and 5BHK residences.

“Homebuyers today are looking at a property from a much broader perspective. The requirement is not simply about having an additional room, but about having a home that works for the family’s current lifestyle and future needs. While affordability remains important, buyers are also paying closer attention to space, layout, connectivity and the overall convenience offered by a location,” said Mukesh Kumar, Founder & Director, M-SANVI Real Estate Pvt. Ltd.

The shift towards larger homes is also being seen alongside a more selective approach to residential purchases. Buyers are spending more time comparing configurations, locations and the overall value of a property before making a decision. For residential businesses, this is creating greater emphasis on understanding different buyer requirements rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach.

M-SANVI’s residential portfolio across 2BHK to 5BHK configurations is aimed at giving buyers greater choice based on family size, lifestyle requirements and budget. The company continues to focus on residential properties across Delhi with an emphasis on helping homebuyers identify options suited to their individual requirements.

M-SANVI Real Estate Pvt. Ltd. is a leading real estate firm based in Delhi, focused on residential properties and helping homebuyers find homes suited to their requirements. The company offers a range of residential options across different configurations and locations in the region.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 9: Fabience, the Hyderabad-based premium furniture manufacturing brand, today announced a major strategic expansion with plans to set up a new Greenfield plant near Hyderabad, Telangana. Spanning over 1.5 lakh sq. ft., the state-of-the-art facility involves an investment of approximately Rs. 50 crore and is targeted for completion by next year. The project is expected to generate direct employment opportunities for around 100 people, said Mr. Raj Venu Gopal Takkallapally, Managing Director.

The new facility will incorporate advanced Italian and German machinery alongside cutting-edge manufacturing technologies. With a strong focus on automation, precision, quality, and production efficiency, the plant will primarily scale up Fabience’s movable furniture capabilities—including sofas, chairs, loungers, and other standalone furniture categories—while continuing to expand its core modular furniture offerings.

Strategic Vision & Infrastructure Scaling

Established in 2018 under the leadership of Mr. Raj Venu Gopal Takkallapally, Managing Director, Fabience currently operates a 2 lakh sq. ft. manufacturing hub in Hyderabad, backed by a workforce of 200 employees. The company has already invested approximately Rs. 80 crore in this existing facility, building robust capabilities across modular kitchens, wardrobes, panelling, and premium movable furniture.

“Our key differentiator lies in our relentless focus on advanced manufacturing technology, automation, and absolute precision,” said Company Director Mr. Sandeep Polsani. “Our facility brings together a sophisticated combination of machinery and processes rarely found under one roof in the furniture industry. High automation ensures unmatched accuracy, consistency, and repeatability. Additionally, our advanced PU lacquer finishing and edge-banding capabilities are benchmarked directly against international finish standards.”

Expanding Domestic Footprint & Global Exports

Fabience has already executed close to 3,500 projects spanning the residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors. Its portfolio includes premium furniture solutions for hotels and resorts across India, alongside a rapidly growing footprint in the United States. Through its robust B2B and B2C verticals, the brand currently caters to clients across 15 Indian states.

Detailing the company’s growth vectors, Company Director Ms. Richie Raj Gopal Takkallapally stated: “Fabience is entering its next phase of growth by aggressively expanding manufacturing capacity, strengthening our B2B presence across India, accelerating exports, and broadening our product portfolio. We now supply premium kitchens, wardrobes, and modular solutions to multiple premier furniture and interior showrooms nationwide. Our international business has also grown considerably over the last two to three years, and we intend to progressively solidify our presence in global markets.”

Capitalising on Market Dynamics

The expansion arrives at a pivotal moment for the industry. Indian furniture market valuations are estimated to scale to approximately USD 31.5 billion by 2026, and climb further to USD 45 billion by 2031, noted Company Director Mr. Karan Raj Gopal Takkallapally. Against this backdrop, the upcoming facility will serve as a primary catalyst to anchor Fabience’s market share, specifically strengthening its movable furniture manufacturing capabilities.

Founder’s Vision

“Our vision is to build Fabience into an Indian furniture manufacturing brand capable of competing with leading global manufacturers in technology, quality, design, precision, and scale,” said Mr. Raj Venu Gopal Takkallapally, Managing Director. “We firmly believe India has the potential to become an important global manufacturing hub for high-quality furniture. Our focus is on expanding our manufacturing capabilities, strengthening our presence across India and international markets, and continuing to invest in advanced technology — all while building scale without compromising quality, precision, or manufacturing standards.”

About Fabience

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Hyderabad, Fabience is a leading premium furniture manufacturing brand specializing in high-precision modular and movable furniture solutions. Serving residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors across 15 states in India and international markets like the USA, Fabience combines advanced European technology with automated processes to deliver international standard finishes.

New Delhi [India], October 9: Highland is an emerging real estate company focused on creating thoughtfully planned developments that respond to the evolving needs of India’s urban and residential markets. The company is building its presence around a combination of market understanding, contemporary design, quality-focused development and a customer-centric approach.

As India’s real estate sector continues to evolve, changing consumer preferences, improving infrastructure and growing demand for well-planned urban spaces are creating new opportunities for developers. Highland Group aims to participate in this growth by developing projects that combine functionality, design and long-term value.

A Vision Focused on Long-Term Value

Commenting on the company’s vision, Mr. Vishal Goyal, Director, Highland Group, said, “In real estate, only delivery builds trust and quality builds reputation. At Highland, we are focused on both—strong construction, disciplined execution and delivering what we promise. Every project is built with a clear commitment to quality, timelines and lasting value. Because for us, the real brand is what stands when the promise is delivered.”

Understanding the Changing Real Estate Consumer

The Indian real estate buyer has become increasingly discerning, with greater emphasis on location, planning, construction quality, amenities, connectivity and overall value proposition.

Highland Group is aligning its development approach with these changing expectations. Rather than looking at real estate purely from a construction perspective, the company focuses on understanding the larger ecosystem around a development — including connectivity, surrounding infrastructure, evolving lifestyles and the long-term potential of the location.

Focus on Quality and Thoughtful Development

The company’s approach is centered on creating developments that balance contemporary design with practical functionality. Attention to planning, efficient use of space, quality specifications and customer experience forms an important part of its development philosophy.

Highland Life Spaces believes that sustainable growth in real estate is built on credibility, execution and the ability to consistently deliver on customer expectations.

Building a Long-Term Real Estate Business

Highland Group is looking beyond individual projects to establish a scalable and credible real estate platform.

The company is evaluating opportunities across emerging markets and locations with strong growth fundamentals, while maintaining a disciplined approach towards development and investment. Its objective is to build a portfolio that reflects changing market dynamics and creates value for homebuyers as well as stakeholders.

The company’s growth strategy is supported by a focus on market-led development, responsible execution and building long-term relationships with customers, partners and other stakeholders.

Looking Ahead

With India’s real estate sector entering a phase of greater consolidation and professionalisation, Highland sees significant potential in the next phase of urban development.

The company intends to strengthen its presence through carefully evaluated opportunities, contemporary development concepts and a consistent focus on quality and customer experience.

AI Automation Is Changing the Way Businesses Work

New Delhi [India], October 9: Businesses today handle customer questions, website enquiries, sales leads, appointments, follow-ups and repetitive administrative tasks. Managing these activities manually can take time and make it harder for teams to respond consistently. Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used not only to answer questions, but also to support connected business processes.

YASHRAA is an AI business automation platform designed to help businesses automate customer interactions, communication and repetitive workflows. Its approach, “AI Automation, Managed for You,” focuses on helping businesses adopt AI without having to manage every technical step independently. The YASHRAA team can support implementation activities such as AI training, workflow configuration, integrations, testing, deployment and ongoing technical support.

What Is YASHRAA?

YASHRAA brings together three key areas: AI-powered chatbots, AI voice-agent technology and business automation. Depending on a company’s requirements, these capabilities can work separately or as part of a connected workflow. A chatbot may respond to website visitors, an automation may route the enquiry to the appropriate team, and a follow-up task may be created according to the configured process.

AI Chatbots for Customer Support and Lead Generation

YASHRAA’s chatbot technology can be configured to answer common questions, share product or service information, explain business policies, collect lead details and guide visitors through conversations. For example, a person visiting an online store may ask about a product, delivery, returns or refunds. The chatbot can respond using the business information provided during training.

Chatbots can also support lead generation. When a visitor expresses interest in a service, the chatbot may collect relevant contact details and pass the enquiry into a configured workflow. This can help businesses manage incoming enquiries and provide an automated first point of contact, including outside regular working hours. More complex or sensitive requests can still be directed to a human team member.

Training AI With Business Information

A business assistant needs accurate information about the company it represents. YASHRAA allows businesses to provide relevant information from sources such as websites, FAQs, product and service details, documents and spreadsheets. Supported formats described by the platform include PDF, TXT, DOCX, CSV and XLS files, as well as Google Sheets.

Business Automation: From Answers to Actions

AI automation becomes more useful when it can support a process after a conversation ends. YASHRAA’s automation approach is designed to connect AI interactions with configured business workflows. Potential use cases include lead collection, customer follow-ups, notifications, appointment-related tasks, CRM workflows, data processing and routine internal operations.

For example, when a customer submits an enquiry, a configured workflow may capture the details, notify the relevant team and initiate a follow-up task. The exact steps depend on the business requirements and the applications supported by the integration.

Connecting Existing Business Systems

Many organizations use different applications for customer records, e-commerce, email, calendars, communication and internal operations. Connecting these systems can help information move between processes instead of remaining isolated in separate tools. YASHRAA’s managed implementation model is intended to help businesses configure supported integrations and workflows around their existing operations.

AI Voice Agents and Future Capabilities

Businesses also rely on phone conversations for customer enquiries, appointment requests and lead qualification. YASHRAA is developing AI voice-agent capabilities intended to extend conversational AI to voice-based interactions. Its official voice-agent page has described this capability as “Coming Soon,” so availability should be confirmed with the company before planning a deployment.

Where Can Businesses Use YASHRAA?

AI automation can support a range of industries, depending on their needs and safeguards. E-commerce businesses may use it for product questions and post-purchase support. Educational organizations can answer course enquiries and collect prospective student information. Real estate teams may organize property enquiries and follow-ups, while hospitality businesses can automate routine customer communication. SaaS companies and professional service providers may use AI for product information, onboarding questions, lead capture and customer support. Healthcare-related uses should be limited to appropriate informational and administrative workflows, with suitable privacy and compliance safeguards.

Implementation, Monitoring and Data Protection

A managed automation project typically begins by understanding business goals and reviewing relevant information. The next stages may include training the AI, configuring workflows, connecting supported applications, testing the system, deploying it and providing technical support. After launch, businesses should review conversations, check lead information and update content when products, services or policies change.

YASHRAA states that its chatbot platform uses encryption to protect uploaded data and that its privacy policy describes how personal information is handled. Businesses should still assess their own permissions, data-handling requirements and legal obligations before implementing any AI system.

Conclusion: AI Automation, Managed for You

YASHRAA aims to make AI automation more practical by bringing chatbots, business workflows and developing voice-agent capabilities into a managed implementation model. Businesses can identify repetitive work, explain the outcome they want and work with the YASHRAA team to determine how AI may help.

Accenture leases office space at Accuspace’s The Edge 2 at Sitapura in Jaipur

Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], October 8: The commercial real estate portfolio of Jaipur-headquartered real estate company Accuspace has crossed 0.5 million sq. ft. with significant leases across office, retail and warehousing segments.

Among the major occupiers in the company’s commercial portfolio includes global technology and consulting firm Accenture which leased 1.23 lakh sq. ft. of office space at ‘The Edge 2’ in Sitapura, organised retailer Zudio which has leased 13,000 sq. ft. at The Edge 1 on Tonk Road and top electrical equipment and home appliances company Havells India which leased 1.2 lakh sq. ft. of warehousing space on Ajmer Road.

Accenture, two years ago, leased the entire office building at The Edge 2, spread across 1.28 acres in G+3 floors and two basements. Zudio is operating its anchor store in G+2 floors in Edge 1, spread across 0.5 acres, with G+7 floors and 3 basements. Talks are on with several office occupiers. The company also developed and leased a state-of-the-art A-grade warehouse for Havells India in record time.

Mr. Mukesh Choudhary, MD, Accuspace, said, “The significance of these leases highlights Jaipur’s ability to attract large corporate occupiers and support sizeable Grade A office developments. Such transactions further reinforce the fact that demand in the city is moving beyond conventional retail and commercial spaces towards organised developments. Favourable policy support, talent pool, and infrastructure growth are reshaping the city’s commercial real estate landscape.”

According to CRE Matrix, the city held 7.8 million sq. ft. of office stock as of 2025, which is expected to touch 13 million sq. ft. by 2030.

Jaipur is a prime Tier 2 hub for IT, GCCs, and MNCs supported by manufacturing policies, subsidies, and investment incentives. The report highlights that among Tier 2 peers, Jaipur’s office supply surpasses Indore, Tri-City, and Lucknow, positioning it as North India’s emerging business destination. Driven by infrastructure-led growth and increasing MNC demand, Jaipur is evolving into a strategic alternative to Tier-1 cities, attracting both domestic and global occupiers, creating 50,000+ Jobs.

Mr. Choudhary further added that there is an aggressive expansion happening in Southern Jaipur in areas like Tonk Road, Sitapura, etc., and along the Ajmer Road.

Ajmer Road has transformed from a mere national highway into the city’s fastest-growing corridor as it offers large land parcels and affordable pricing. Stretching from the upscale urban center of Civil Lines past the bustling 200-Ft Bypass, this multi-lane expressway serves as a vital economic lifeline that seamlessly bridges traditional Jaipur with the modern Mahindra World City (SEZ) tech hub. Driven by massive transit infrastructure projects—including the operational Southern Ring Road and the highly anticipated Jaipur Metro Pink Line extension—the corridor has evolved into a self-sustaining micro-market. This growth has fueled a booming commercial landscape, shifting from basic highway retail to advanced corporate ecosystems. The market is seeing an influx of Grade-A office complexes, modern co-working hubs, and specialized IT/ITeS corporate offices designed to absorb the massive professional workforce generated by the nearby SEZ. Today, the area showcases a dynamic mix of high-end workspace infrastructure, premium residential townships, and top-tier educational institutions, making it a highly lucrative hotspot for institutional corporate landlords and commercial investors alike.

Jaipur boasts a rich talent pool with over 1 lakh graduates annually from more than 300 universities. According to a recent report by Team Lease, Jaipur has entered the top 5 most preferred cities to hire in for the 1st time, with 43.7% of employers surveyed planning to hire in the city.

This preference reflects the growing prominence of Jaipur stemming from Government incentives, growth in the quality of talent available, and a lower cost of living.

The city’s start-up ecosystem is equally vibrant, thereby driving demand for office space, including co-working/managed space. According to the report, Jaipur contributes 21% to the funding raised by startups across the five cities analysed since 2007 while accounting for 23% of active startups across the five cities. The city offers a significant rental advantage for occupiers as compared to top markets.

On the retail front, Jaipur witnesses around 0.2 msf of average new retail space demand every year and an average of 0.3 msf of new GradeA retail supply every year. Warehousing demand and supply stood at 1.1 msf and 0.7 msf respectively in 2025. With vacancy rates on a consistent decline, even as supply rises, signalling a strong, absorption -led growth cycle. “With 56% of warehousing driven by consumption sectors, Jaipur is quietly evolving into North India’s next big urban logistics powerhouse—beyond just its manufacturing roots.”

Jaipur is strategically connected through key National Highways like NH-48, NH-52, NH-21, and NH-12, linking it to major cities such as Delhi, Hisar, Agra, and Jabalpur. The newly opened 66.9 km Bandikui-Jaipur connects the city directly to the Delhi -Mumbai Expressway.

Mr. Choudhary added that occupiers are no longer choosing Jaipur only for its cost efficiencies. They are scaling here because it offers an exceptional talent pool, robust connectivity infrastructure, and a modern lifestyle that retains top professionals. The company, he said, is planning a huge mixed-use project in Jaipur that will change face of commercial real estate in the city.

As corporate occupiers look to decentralize, the city must focus on delivering international-standard environments that can seamlessly absorb large global and domestic tenants.

Forward deployed engineers, AI engineers and cybersecurity experts are where resume screening fails first. Napplied is on a mission to find the best-fit people for these roles, and to do it with evidence, not guesswork.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], October 8: The roles every company is racing to fill share one problem: a resume can’t show what makes someone good at them.

Forward deployed engineer (FDE) postings in the US grew from about 200 in 2024 to about 1,200 in 2025, then passed 5,200 in the first seven months of 2026, according to Lightcast (September 2026). The role rewards AI and software depth, delivery skill and the ability to work directly with customers. LinkedIn’s 2026 Jobs on the Rise report ranks AI Engineer as the fastest-growing US job title, with postings up 143% year over year. ISC2 puts the global cybersecurity workforce gap at 4.8 million in 2026.

Hiring for these roles is slow. Ashby’s 2026 benchmarks show technical roles take a median of 75 days to fill, and its startup hiring data puts the cost at 21 to 29 interviewer hours per technical hire.

Napplied, an AI-native hiring platform, was built to close that gap for India and US teams hiring in AI, cybersecurity, AI safety and AI governance.

“The best FDE or security engineer rarely looks best on paper,” said Md Mahabub Alam, founder of Napplied. “You only find them by seeing how they think, then proving why they rank where they do. Our mission is simple: put the right frontier talent in front of the right team, faster, with evidence behind every call.”

Why Napplied is built differently

• Depth over keywords. Napplied’s structured AI interviewer, Morpheus, asks every candidate for a role questions tied to the same criteria. Hiring managers compare real depth, not well-written resumes.
• Evidence, not a bare score. Every ranking leaves a reviewable trail of what was asked, what was answered and what it was judged against. That matters as AI hiring faces more scrutiny, and Gartner finds only 26% of applicants trust AI to evaluate them fairly but Napplied careful enough to trace in the persona intelligence for the job seeker i.e. the futue of resume
• One pipeline, less waiting. Search, screening, interviews and ranking run as a single workflow inside the ATS a team already uses, with no separate tools and no re-screening between stages. Candidate profiles carry over to related roles, so a strong AI engineer found for one team is already in view for the next.
• Signals for the frontier. Napplied is tuned to the skills that set apart candidates in AI and security roles, the kind a keyword search misses.

About Napplied
Napplied is a bootstrapped, founder-led AI-native hiring platform, selected for the AltaLab Fall 2026 cohort and LvlUp Ventures’ Power of the Pitch, and ranked #12 among India’s top agentic AI startups on F6S. Learn more at napplied.com or write to welcome@napplied.com.

New Delhi [India], October 8: Kaapi Machines has launched Kaapi One, a digital platform designed to make the coffee equipment journey simpler, more connected and transparent for customers. The platform brings together service, equipment information, orders, learning and support, giving coffee businesses a more streamlined way to manage their relationship with their equipment.

As India’s coffee ecosystem continues to evolve, equipment ownership increasingly goes beyond the initial purchase and installation. Timely service, maintenance, access to information and ongoing technical support are all integral to keeping coffee operations running smoothly. Kaapi One brings these interactions together on a single platform, making them easier for customers to access and manage.

The platform was launched around International Coffee Day 2026, reflecting Kaapi Machines’ focus on using technology to strengthen the overall coffee ecosystem and enhance the experience of coffee businesses beyond the point of sale.

Service remains a key part of the Kaapi One experience. Customers can raise service requests directly through the app, track their progress, view status updates, see the engineer assigned to a request and access service information and records. This provides greater visibility into the service process and reduces the need for repeated follow-ups.

Beyond service, Kaapi One connects customers to the wider Kaapi ecosystem. Users can discover new equipment launches, access orders and machine information, explore coffee training and learning opportunities, and find solutions for different business formats, including cafés, hotels, offices, bakeries, QSRs and cloud kitchens.

The app works alongside Kaapi Machines’ existing network of engineers, technical expertise and after-sales support. Technology adds another layer of accessibility and transparency to this ecosystem, while the human expertise behind the service remains central to the customer experience.

Kaapi One reflects a broader move towards making equipment ownership more seamless, while keeping coffee businesses connected to the information, services and support they need throughout their equipment journey.

Through Kaapi One, customers can:

• Discover new equipment launches
• Access their orders and machine information
• Raise and track service requests
• Follow service updates
• Access coffee training and learning opportunities
• Explore solutions for their business requirements

New Delhi [India], October 8: As World Osteoporosis Day is observed on October 20, attention turns to the importance of maintaining healthy bones through everyday nutrition and lifestyle choices. Bone health is an important part of overall well-being, and making mindful food choices can help support the body’s nutritional needs at every stage of life.

Chilean Prunes are gaining recognition as a naturally nutritious addition to everyday diets, with research highlighting their potential role in supporting bone health. Prunes contain important nutrients and bioactive compounds, including vitamin K, potassium, boron, and polyphenols, which contribute to overall nutritional wellness. Their naturally sweet taste and versatility also make them an easy food to include as part of a balanced daily diet.

According to Kavita Devgan, leading dietitian, holistic health consultant, and eminent author, “Bone health is an important part of overall wellness, and nutrition plays a meaningful role in supporting strong bones. Including nutrient-rich foods such as prunes in the everyday diet can be a simple and enjoyable way to support bone health as part of a balanced lifestyle.”

World Osteoporosis Day provides an opportunity to create greater awareness around bone health and encourage people to pay attention to the role of nutrition in their long-term well-being. Including a variety of nutritious foods in everyday meals can be a simple step towards making healthier food choices.

India has no commercial production of prunes and demand is met through imports. Chile is a major supplier to the Indian market.

Chile’s unique geography, bordered by the Atacama Desert, the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, and Antarctica, creates ideal climatic conditions for producing premium-quality prunes. Carefully grown and harvested to preserve their natural flavour, texture, and nutritional value, Chilean prunes are recognized globally for their quality and taste.

Mr. Sumit Saran, India Representative of Chilean Prunes, remarked, “Chile is known as one of the world’s largest growers and suppliers of prunes. Chilean prunes are recognized globally for their high quality and nutritional benefits. Just visit your dry fruit retailer or order online; Chilean prunes are easily available in India.”

Their nutritional value, versatility, and naturally delicious taste make Chilean prunes an easy addition to everyday eating habits.

Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 8: Muzaffarnagar is witnessing a gradual transformation in its urban and real estate landscape, driven by improving connectivity, changing consumer aspirations and the growing demand for organised, well-planned communities. As the city and surrounding regions evolve, integrated developments that bring residential, commercial, lifestyle and social infrastructure together are emerging as an important part of this transformation. At the centre of this shift is Numax City Muzaffarnagar, a 100-acre integrated township located along the Delhi-Dehradun Highway.

Strategically positioned on one of the region’s key connectivity corridors, Numax City Delhi-Dehradun Highway is envisioned as a self-contained destination that goes beyond conventional residential development. The project brings together residential plots in Muzaffarnagar, commercial plots in Muzaffarnagar, and villas within a single integrated ecosystem, creating opportunities for both end-users and investors looking at property on Delhi-Dehradun highway.

A Township Designed Around Integrated Living:

The defining proposition of Numax City is its integrated planning. The 100 Acre Township in Muzaffarnagar is designed to incorporate essential social infrastructure within the development, including a school and hospital, alongside a hotel, F&B destinations and retail spaces. This approach aims to reduce dependence on distant commercial and social hubs while creating a more convenient everyday environment for residents.

For families looking for Township with School and Hospital, the development brings key facilities within the larger township ecosystem. Lifestyle and community needs are further supported by a proposed 1.25 lakh sq. ft. clubhouse, envisioned as a central recreational and social destination.

The township also places considerable emphasis on open spaces and active living. Around 70% of the development is planned as open green area, complemented by sports amenities that encourage recreation and outdoor activities. 100-ft-wide roads further contribute to the township’s spacious planning and organised internal infrastructure.

Diverse Real Estate Opportunities:

The project’s mix of residential and commercial property in Muzaffarnagar is aimed at catering to different requirements. Buyers exploring plots for sale in Muzaffarnagar can consider residential plots within a planned township environment, while commercial plots offer opportunities for businesses and retail-led development.

The availability of villas in Muzaffarnagar adds another residential format to the development, providing an option for those seeking larger, independent living spaces within an integrated community.

For prospective buyers, factors such as RERA approved plots in Muzaffarnagar, registry-open plots in Muzaffarnagar, bank loan available property in Muzaffarnagar and 100% paid land property can play an important role in evaluating a real estate investment. Such considerations, combined with location and township infrastructure, can make planned developments increasingly relevant to buyers seeking greater transparency and convenience.

Building a New Urban Destination:

The larger vision behind Numax City is aligned with the changing nature of urban development in emerging markets. Rather than functioning solely as a residential plotted project, the development seeks to create an ecosystem where living, working, shopping, recreation and essential services coexist.

With its location on the Delhi-Dehradun Highway, extensive green spaces, wide roads, residential and commercial options, and planned social and lifestyle infrastructure, Numax City represents a new approach to township development in the region.

As Muzaffarnagar continues to evolve, Numax City Muzaffarnagar aims to contribute to this urban transformation by creating a thoughtfully planned destination that combines connectivity, community and contemporary lifestyle requirements within one integrated township.

New Delhi [India], October 08: Yes, smart fans can justify their higher upfront cost when electricity savings and everyday convenience are considered together. In India, where fans often run for long hours, efficient BLDC models are gaining wider attention.

Buyers are increasingly looking beyond the purchase price to understand running costs, payback periods and whether smart features offer practical value over regular use.

Smart Fans Gain Ground in Indian Homes

The fan market is changing as households pay more attention to energy use and convenience. Remote controls, timers, multiple speed settings and efficient motors have made smart fans more relevant for regular use.

This shift is especially noticeable when buyers compare the ceiling fan price with expected electricity consumption. A higher initial cost may appear easier to justify when the fan is likely to run for several hours each day.

Portable Cooling Adds Another Choice

Not every space needs a fixed ceiling installation. A tower fan can work well where portable airflow, compact placement or flexible use between rooms is more important. The wider availability of such options on Flipkart reflects how the fan category has expanded.

 Consumers can now compare different formats before deciding which type fits the room and usage pattern best.

Higher Upfront Prices Put Savings under the Spotlight

Smart fans generally cost more than conventional models because they may use BLDC motors and electronic controls. That extra amount can make the purchase seem expensive at first.

The comparison changes when electricity consumption is considered over a longer period. A fan that uses less power can reduce running costs, especially in homes where it operates for many hours every day.

Lower Power Use Strengthens the Value Proposition

Electricity savings are a key reason for growing interest in smart fans. Lower wattage matters more when fans run regularly during warmer months. Savings vary by model, daily usage and local electricity tariff.

Comparing wattage with the purchase price gives buyers a clearer view of long-term value. Flipkart allows shoppers to review specifications across different models before choosing.

Buying Decisions Are Becoming More Purpose Led

Consumers are also becoming clearer about what each type of fan is meant to do. A smart ceiling fan focuses on regular room cooling and energy efficiency, while a kitchen exhaust fan serves a different purpose by removing heat, moisture and cooking fumes.

This more practical approach to fan selection shows that buyers are looking beyond price alone and matching products with specific household needs.

Payback Period Becomes an Important Buying Consideration

The payback period refers to the time needed for electricity savings to recover the extra amount paid for a smart fan. There is no fixed period that applies to every household.

A fan running for ten or twelve hours a day may recover the additional cost sooner than one used only occasionally. Local electricity rates and the price difference between models also influence the result.

Convenience Features Support Consumer Adoption

Savings are not the only reason smart fans are gaining attention. Remote operation, timers and easier speed adjustment can make everyday use simpler, particularly in bedrooms and living areas.

This combination of efficiency and convenience is helping smart fans move beyond being seen only as a premium purchase.

Energy Efficiency Is Shaping the Next Phase of Fan Buying
